Ooh? Aren't you excited? TWO posts in ONE day. But I haven't posted in a while, so maybe this will make up for it.
But this is a really special blog post. My sister, Cecilia Gigliotti, has entered the Norton Anthology Recitation Contest for high school and college students. I was wondering if my few, blogging fans would be willing to vote for her in this contest, because she is in the FINAL three! :D
Very exciting. She recited an Anne Bradstreet poem, and I did the wodnerful filming. http://books.wwnorton.com/books/bradstreet-video-contest/
^^
CLICK right there if you would like to support her!!! :) You can watch all three, and she is the third video. At the bottom, it has the poll, and she is Cecilia Gigliotti, New Britain High School.
She thanks you for your support and remember: voting ends January 8th!

HAPPPPPY NEW YEAR!
It is officially 2012!!!!!!!! HOORAY!!! A new start for everyone who wants one! You watch the ball drop in Times Square (if you're awake for it :D) and you get to go to the calendar store and flip through all the glossy new calendars for the coming year. You get to buy those really cheap but cool looking 2012 glasses and scream like a maniac, going "HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY NEW YEAR!" and the great thing is- no one thinks you're an idiot! Because they're all doing it too! And you can stay up all night, or toss and turn in bed since you can't go to sleep because there are fireworks going on at your neighbor's house. Talk about a blast, right?
The hardest thing about the New Year is New Year's resolutions. I know people who have already broken their New Year's resolutions, already, without even knowing it. Facebook statuses such as:
"I broke my resolution...without even knowing it."
"I don't even have any resolutions yet! How can I make myself a better person?"
"It's pathetic. Nobody in my family can stick to their resolutions...(not even me)."
See? It's not easy for anyone (now granted...I made those up, but BASED off of actualy ones I saw!) and it's difficult to stop doing things that one is used to doing. But I'm not going to go on a rant of how you should stick to them, because honestly, I couldn't even say if you made good resolutions, or if you made them at all! If I said, "Make sure you stick to your resolutions" then someone could be hurt. An anorexic person could read this and try to accomplish their goal of losing weight. NOT GOOD.
So basically, just enjoy the new year of 2012!!!!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
