Rain

(It's not raining or anything, it's just a random word, ok? also, Rain Potter is an awesome person; check her out on Google+)

Hey guys! I'm at school right now but I'm still typing. (such a gangsta, I know.) Everyone's been freaking out about my BLUE HAIR! It's really blue and people are saying it's kinda purple on top too; I obviously couldn't tell. We're learning about Day Of The Dead- Dia De Los Muertos- in World Languages... and my classmates are being annoying. *sigh* *tries to hair flip* *fails hair flip because my hair's too short*
You know, I didn't realize it before because I had a teacher that was actually from Spain, but it is so annoying when people pronounce things wrong, and you just want to go "IT'S NOT PII-CADO! IT'S PICAH-DO!" Especially when they're the teacher of the class.
Anyways, I'm sorry about posting this, because you're going to get your hopes up and then get them dashed when I don't write every day anymore. Sorry, guys D:
Anyways, did you know THESE EXCITING FACTS ABOUT DIA DE LOS MUERTOS?!

• Marigolds are the flowers of the deceased, and graves are often decorated with them
• Family members bring fragrant foods that the person liked in the hope that their spirit will come out of the grave and smell the food
• People don't usually eat sugar skulls, they eat pan de muertos (bread of the dead), which is sweet bread that tastes REALLY GOOD! Sugar skulls are usually decorative instead of treats, sort of like pumpkins on Halloween here in America.
• Pan de muertos is usually decorated with skeleton skulls and bones because of its name.
• Tamales are also eaten during the celebrations (and the rest of the year).
• People usually have offerings for the dead, with things on it like favorite toys, photographs, and soap, water, and a towel for the dead to cleanse themselves.
• Papel picado, cut tissue paper that is brightly colored, decorates many homes.
• Candles are lit to help the deceased find their homes on this day.
• Many families have altars where they honor the dead in general with food and drink and stuff.

So ends the facts because we're done talking about that lol :P
