SHE WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET SINGING..

Doo wah di-di di-di dum di-dee doo.

Today I have to go to golf lessons. I love golf and all, but I actually don't feel like going to lessons today. My teacher is kind of rude I suppose. Today will be my second lesson with him. I need a new teacher. :\

Not much has been going on really. I'm a dork so I make schedules on a daily basis so that I'm not wasting too much of my time. XD Basically it's divided into hours, where it's usually something like computer, read, watch Full House, play outside, etc. Yeaahhh it's been boring. ;p

And since when did we need to read a summer reading book for science!? Ick. I already started reading it and I don't know half the terms. My teacher probably assigned our class a complicated book just because we're in honors biology. *sigh*

So I've been bored lately and I decided to look up the definitions of certain names. The definitions were surprisingly closely related to the actual people I know who have that name. Here are some of the names I looked up (the italicized words are my comments on the definitions):

CLAYTON
Origin: Old English
 
Traits: The name Clayton evokes several different images: a rich, conservative snob; a smart, egotistical know-it-all; a strong, temperate leader; or a shy, mild-mannered nerd.

Oho, "a shy, mild-mannered nerd." Yep, that's Clayton Holmes Aiken for ya. :D

CLAY

Meaning: from the earth
 
Traits: Clay is described as a down-to-earth, rugged, handsome, and easygoing guy who is both a hardworker and a devoted family man. To some, though, Clay is a wealthy, suave smooth-talker.

"... hardworker and a devoted family man." Oh yeah.

Hah.. yeah. I decided to look up my own name. I suppose I am a brunette. I have dark dark dark brown hair. "kind, lively," yes, this is me.
