Hey all! Aren't you guys feeling the Thanksgiving season? Mmmhmm, I just can't wait until Thanksgiving comes. The Turkey, the mashed potatoes, the gravy. It's all so good. With 3 more school days to go until Thanksgiving break, I'm already kicking off my shoes and undoing my belt, because this is gonna be a good Thanksgiving. And somehow, this year, I think our family is gonna actually finish the Turkey. Usually we have enough leftover meat to supply 10 turkey sandwiches (which are amazing by the way), but this year, I have a feeling we're gonna finish it all off. I don't even know how much family is coming this year. Hmm let me count. Dad, Mom, me, 1 year old bro, 5 year old bro, 19 year old bro (from college), Sis in Seattle, Amazing brother-in-law, Step Sister, Step Sisters boy friend, other step sister, and another step sisters bo friend! That's 12 People! And if my calculations are correct, our table only fits 6 people (8 to 10 if we're lucky)! Anyw...

I'm in keyboarding class, and I just finished the assignment my teacher gave me, so I thought I would make a post. It's kinda hard to keyboard, mostly because my left arm is in a cast, but I still manage. We mostly do warm ups and everything, but I think I pretty well know all the of the words. I get about 67 average gwam (words per minute), which is pretty good in my opinion. It's really fun in this class, but the only problem is that I know that it goes by fast, and that English class is next. English class... But really, High School is super fun. And even though I have like 3 extremely hard classes, I have a lot of fun during a lot of them. Oh, I have to go take a timed writing! See ya! BYE!!

Wow that hurt, first of all falling off of my bike onto the sidewalk, and then the searing pain after the elbow surgery... I broke my arm a couple of weeks ago, and it REALLY hurts... It's hard to describe, not only the pain, but the horrible itching inside the cast. About a week after I fell off my bike, I had to have surgery to "put the bone back in place", and that was harder than I expected. Yes, they put me asleep for it, but afterwards it was just horrible. Every few days I would get little presents like chocalate and Sudoku puzzles, but they were hard to do because my broken arm. The worst thing is, it was my left arm that got broken. MY LEFT ARM!! Oh yeah, by the way, IM LEFT HANDED! Good way to start off high school... But yeah things have been going pretty good for me, Im actually learning how to write with my right hand, and getting over the awesome fact that I took the same medicine for my arm that House (the show on fox) takes for his leg. Pretty soon I'm...

Wow! I am in the state that I was born in! Im in Lawrence Kansas viewing KU for my bro, because he's off to college. It's pretty cool so far, and right now I'm on the hotel computer which they let you use for free. I haven't seen much of Kansas, because all I've looked at so far is the view from the lobby, which isnt that good... But yeah, I already LUV Kansas (I guess its probably because it's the state I was born in). And even though I havent been to the small town I was born in, I still love the place. BYE!!

Since most of my family has begun writing mystery short stories, I've written one myself. You can check out my bro's mystery story on his blog, Midnight Eyes . Anyway, this is my mystery story, hope y'all like it. Murder in Gettysburg It was a wet night on 21st street, as Mr. Lockheart laid down for a good night’s sleep. It was almost 12 o’clock, and all of the people in Gettysburg were tucked in, getting what they deserved after a long, tiring day. It had been raining for a couple of hours, a hard rain, but not enough to flood a small town like Gettysburg. William lived alone, and lived somewhat of a hermit life, having a neighborhood, yet no friends, and no primary career. He lived mostly off welfare checks, and off small payments of giving blood and plasma. He worked at McDonald’s, but got paid below minimum wage. He never really knew his purpose in life, except to succeed in something, w...

I was surfing the web the other day, when my older brother was all like "hey eaglith! Check out this awesome video! Its totally awesome!! So, i sat down, he went to the site, and he showed it to me. And... It turned out totally awesome!! It's called Matrix Ping Pong and just looking at the name you can tell its gonna be cool. You'll see. There was this other video that he showed me, it was this cool Star Wars gimmick called Ryan Weber vs. Dorkman . Its really cool, and theres an exciting "twist" at the end. You should watch it. Im going to camp, tomo-, well today, because its about 12 o'clock right now. So, i'll hopefully be back blogging about a month from now. Ta ta! BYE!!

Wow, havent been on here in a while. well, im going off to camp. So don't expect me for another month. HAHA. Well anyway, i recently got a Flash mx CD in the mail by my older bro, Derek, yet, i have a Mac, so it doesnt work!! Grrr, nothing works for a Mac. Anyway, im going off to camp. It'll be fun, my 4th year.. Hehe, you guys will miss me.. But, yeah things are going well down in Southern Illinois, just trying to hang around enjoying the summer, dying for a visit to my Sister's new city, (my favorite), Seattle. But its not like that'll happen soon. But yeah, i packed my bags and i'm off to camp, this Sunday. Sooo exciting. Camp is oober fun, pure fun, amazing fun.. I might try and catch back up on my old Blogging, but Camp is for 3 weeks, so, maybe after that. OK, BYE!!

YO. Wasup fellow bloggers. Yes yes, i have had about a month where i have fallen out of the "blogging" stage, and right at this moment, i just felt like blogging. No I haven't been on any vacation, I have just found a new interest in a new game. First I liked online monopoly, then I liked a horribly awesome game called N, and now i like this game called runescape. I can't get my hands off of it. It's like this weird RPG type deal, thats like horribly addictive, and I can't get my hands off of it because like half of our school plays it. But, it has its downsides. You always come across some player thats like horribly nerdy that like level 200, that plays 24/7. Of course, that guy kills you and is all like "ownage! pure ownage you stupid noobie!" So, as you can tell this game is like this: your a player that has a bunch of stats, and you go around gaining levels and killing fellow human players. Sounds fun? I don't think so! BUT IT IS SOOOOOOO add...

When! When I tell you!?!?!? When will SPRING BREAK come!? I have been waiting! Waiting soooo long for the moment to finnaly come! But no. There's a short story. History Fair, Book Report, Black History Month Project, Math Test, Health Test, it won't stop! No, you don't have to feel sorry for me. I am handling things pretty well for now. I haven't had a boost of self-esteem in about 6 weeks, but things here in Carbondale are relatively fine. It's raining right now, and it's thundering too. But otherwise, there aint not much stuff not to say. BYE!!

Ever since I got back to school from Holiday break, I've been very, well, bored. I've done homework, played various games on the computer, but still, im so very bored!!! Ever since the end of Christmas Break, we've never really had any days off! There might have been a few, but it's not like I wasn't bored on those days either! School has gone on so long, that I've begun a painful phase. This painful phase, is what I call the "waiting phase". This phase consists of pain, horror, and lots of homework in the many week days in between Christmas Break and Spring Break. It's the start of the new quarter for us, and even more homework has piled on us. We just got assigned a new assignment in Literature class. We have to right about 2 paragraphs on this one story called "The Light in the Forest". It's one of those typical Literature class books. You know, the whole "surviving style", and the whole style of "Indians". All ...

I'd like to take a break from boggle today, and write about some of what goes on in my school. School was pretty boring today, but I did have a lot of fun in todays P.E. game. We usually play dodge ball, bowling, or blitz ball. But today, we did steal the bacon. Boy was it fun. There were two teams, my team, and my opponent's team. Since there are about 20 people in my class, each team had 10 people in it. The teams went and sat down at opposite sides of the gym, and they were in a certain order. The first person, was #1, and so on. This happened with both teams. So the P.E. teacher would call out different numbers, and which ever number you were, you would go up. Say I was number 7, and Mr. Rogers (the P.E. teacher) called the number seven. Me, and the #7 on the opposite side, would both run up. And whoever could steal the little fluffy pig, and then take it back to their home base without being tagged by the other player, would get 10 points. So if I get the pig and run back ...

Hello. As you may have noticed (or not noticed if you don't view my blog), is that I haven't been blogging for about a week. Yes, I know that your checking my blog every minute in agony looking to see if I (the wonderful blogger) have made a new interesting entry. Now, before I get to what explains the title of this entry, I must tell you one simple thing. This blog is NOT a boggle blog. I have no intention of MAKING it into a boggle blog, and hopefully will NEVER make into a boggle blog. It's just that I absolutely love boggle, and feel like writing about it in ALL of my entries. Boggle is very fun. When there is a board with only one vowel, or even a board when there is 16, IT IS ALWAYS FUN! One good thing about (online) boggle (except for winning of course), is looking at other boggler's names. Some funny, and others downright funny. Some actually intrigue me and my family. I'll start with annecentral.blogspot , who has actually gotten 1st place quite a few times...

"What is that? Oh! It looks like a monkey with one eye! Dude that's awesome!" Yes it's ausome, but no, it's a cyclops kitty cat... First time I saw that, it scared the bejesus outta me. It's just a little kitty cat, born in Redmond Oregon, on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2005. Yeah, that just about freaks me out. The suprising thing about it was that it was born with one eye, and that eye was so large, that it didn't have a nose. The poor little thing died in one day. It probably had something to do with it not having a nose, and not having the sense of smell. I mean, this goes beyond Glow-In-The-Dark-Pigs right? So yeah, you should go check it out on like google news or something. BYE!!

Earlier, I recall telling y'all about my succulent love of cereal. Well, I just feel like telling you again. I just got a couple of new boxes of cereal the other day, and I thought, "I love cereal!" I got two extravagant kinds: Tuttie Frutties, and Golden Grahams. I've had Golden Grahams before, but they're so GOOD! It was like 3 years ago, and I loved them so much! But then for some reason, I never saw them again. Now, to this day, I saw them on the small crowded shelf at my local small-town mart in Carbondale. BOOM! I got them, and tasted them, a whole wave of pleasure swept my taste-bud filled mouth. It was a party in my mouth. Mmmmmmm... I also got Tuttie Frutties. No, I didn't get them because the name was so catchy. I got them because my mom said that I had to get one name brand box, and one generic. So I chose Tuttie Frutties! Their like, exactly like Fruit Loops, but they have a better name. Right now, I can't wait till' morning so that that I ...

I reached 100 hits. I'm so excited! I even got pointed out that I was in the newspaper by one of my friends. Isn't that cool! Note: The hit count thingy has been on there since January 6, 2006.

Yes, my name appeared in Carbondale's local newspaper, The Southern Illinoisan . The article was by Marleen Shepherd, and was about the local bloggers of Southern Illinois. The article was called, "Everyone's talking about BLOGS, Locals jump onto the Weblog bandwagon". It mentioned three blogs, Sheila Simon , Dave More , and my oh so wonderful dad, Tom Leverett . And then, I saw my name... "Leverett's son, 13 year old Noah, is the youngest blogger in the family. Noah created 'Interesting Stuff for Interesting People' ( Eaglith's blogspot ) two months ago. "I just got so addicted to it," Noah notes. 'It's really fun putting links in the blog and just making blog entries about myself.' Leverett counts his children's blogs as his favorites." Wow, isn't that amazing! I blog for like three months and I'm in the newspaper! It's mostly because of Dave, and my Dad though. I'm really into this stuff ...

It was another day today. I woke up, and went to school. Same things happened. It wasn't as bad today. I think my brother softened up on the revolting, repelling, disgusting farts of foul Chinese food, so that was pretty good for my sinuses. And come to think of it, I've had quite a good day today. It's FRIDAY!!! Also, I have gotten a new found love to the band Primus, my brother's ( D-Funk ) favorite band. My other brother (the 18 year old one) got this really cool DVD of Primus for Hanukkah and we've been watching it ever since. Les Claypool is just so amazing at bass guitar, and just the style of their music amazes us. In other news, my OTHER brother is comin' into town today from California with his new found fiancee, and we haven't seen her yet, and we haven't seen my bro' in like years, so we're all excited. I think I'm goin' to go watch Primus now, I don't know. Things are goin' smoothly here in Carbondale (I think) and go...

Iv'e been at school for two days now. I just got back. They are really piling up the homework. I'm am really sick and tired of it! Yesterday, we had to do a journal entry, a whole book report, 30 questions of math (algebra!), and some other stupid worksheets that had no purpose except to make the class suffer. It's just that it's really hard to get used to! I went to bed at like 10 o'clock last night and had to wake up at like 6:45! I went to school, and had to put up with everyone, and everything. It's terrible. I admit that I'm starting to get used to it, but I'm still in despair. I'm always hungry, grumpy, and sleepy during the day, and WE ARE HAVING A TEST TOMMOROW!!! Tommorow! I guess you might not be very interested in my sick, degrading agony that occurs while Iv'e been at school these last couple of days. But, I'm sorry. I really have nothing to talk about! I just got home from school and guess what happens! I'm greeted by my 4 ye...

Isn't it terrible! Holiday break went by so quick. I'm serious. I didn't even have time to sleep! Now I'm going back to school. Who knows how much homework I have. Anyway, I guess I should just enjoy the rest of the break. It's just like Thanksgivin' break! It went by so quickly! I'm EXCITED about writing in my journal tomorrow in English class. My teacher is probably going to make us write like 500 words about what happened during Christmas break. That'll be fun. All of our other teachers are probably going to give no mercy and pile down the homework. Oh Yeah! I was playing boggle the other day, and we saw the person in first place. And she was, "annecentral.blogspot". So we went to her blog to say congratulations, but she wouldn't allow comments! What a nerve... So yeah, you should check her blog out, she's a fellow boggle player that happened to be advertising her blog and happened to get in first place. So yeah, schools tomorrow, so...

Notice Anything? Well, first of all, it's 2006! 2006!!! Aren't you excited! It's going to be hard for me to get used to putting "1/1/06 now because I'm just so used to putting "05" on all my excruciating homework assignments. Anything else? I changed my template! I figured, what the heck. And I did it! Unfortunately, it deleted ALL of my template changes so I had to put all of my links back. Notice the link, "Times are Tough for Dreamers"? That's a blog of my new blogger addict brother, who used to have a "MY SPACE" with all of his high school friends. Other than that, there isn't much that has changed in my life, except that I've been kind of sick lately, with on and off sinus headaches and sniffles and soar throats, but I'm getting better. Well, it is 2006, and I'm enjoyin' it. BYE!!
