I think I told you in a previous blog post that when I dropped my phone on the carpet, the hinge broke off. Well, a few days ago I dropped it on a hard floor and it stopped working all together! When my dad looked at it he said that some wires that were right under the hinge that broke were ripped in half. I guess I should've tried to fix the hinge with something more than elmer's glue My dad's gonna get me a new phone with a metal case (the one that broke was plastic which was probably why it broke so easily.)

I made a new video. Misheard lyrics to "In This Legacy" by Monty Are I: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHT5izxMfEg

As I said in the last blog, I'm now a freshman in high school. I like it alot better than middle school. And This is the first year that all my teachers actually like me. Since 6th grade I've always had at least 1 or 2 teachers that didn't like me. The only thing that sucks is that I didn't get Photography class like I wanted. I'm in Journalism, which you have to take before you can take Photography, then after Photography you can take Video Production, which is what I really want to take. But it looks like I'll have to wait til 11th grade to be in it...

Also in the last blog I showed you my new phone, a blue Motorola Razr. Well, the other day I dropped it on the CARPET and one of the hinges broke off! So now the top of my phone is crooked! I did manage to glue the hinge back on but it's still a little crooked. The thing is, I don't wanna tell my dad about it because it broke only a week after I got it. Plus if I did get a new one it would be a big pain to transfer all my videos, pictures, phone numbers ect. to the new one.
