NEW BLOG!

I've got a new blog... I'll probably write on this one.

It's- ...And Then I Found Five Bucks...

Beach!

So i know i havent updated in a loooonnnngggg time. But anyways... New york was amazing. I love going up there... now sarah needs to come to NC! I'll try to write more on it later (but we all know i'll probably forget) Then yesterday i went to the beach with Miranda and her church. That was really fun. We made this awesome sand castle. It had a cliff, a wall, a mote and everything. It was like an island and when the waves would come in the water would go all around it but then as soon as we went to get some boogie boards a huge wave wiped it out. So we just decided to stomp on it. The waves were pretty big so the boogie boards were fun. Miranda will probably put up some pics on her blog (randawho.blogspot.com) After that we went to this rib place which was really really really good!

Tonight im going to sams and then i think Wednesday is the first day that we have bible study and not visitation.

Thats all i can think of to write at the moment.

BACKFLIP

So I was watching this video on how to do back flips (i was going to post it but i just realized it has bad music in the background) Anyways they were like if u pull ur legs up as high as you can ur body will just flip. I was like- there are at least 10 different people at my church that would break their necks trying to do that. Then I was struck with bordom (again) and decided that if I did it on a bed I wouldnt hurt myself. (because I am brilliant) So since I have the bottom part of a trendle bed I put it back down on the floor (so I would break anything holding it up) And the first time I was about to do it I was like- i doubt if you pull your legs up u'll flip so I did and then have way through I freaked out because I thought I was going to fall on my neck. And then I started trying to get back unto my back and that made me fall on my neck. So then i was like- that didnt hurt that much... so actually tried but my foot got caught on a sheet and I did something funny to my back. I also knocked the breathe out of me.

But it was awesome. So then I watched the video to make sure I was doing everything right. Then I tried it again and i did it !!!!!!!!!! :D))))))))))))))))

Haha so then I was going to try it on my floor but then it would probably make the ceiling shake so hard that I would chip something (my house is soooooo old)

Haha- I can do a back flip. Now Im wondering why- if I took gymnastics for so long- did they not tell me how do a backflip?????????? I recorded myself doing it again on my bed but the vibrations turned it off :p

on the other hand my back is starting to hurt everytime I move...

Summer days <3

I luvvv summer but after awhile I run out of things to do and want to go back to school so I'll have something to do (plus i always find things to do when I procrastinate)

I've been bored all day... EXCEPT when I was eating cake and ice cream with my wonderful mother. (Happy birthday <3333333333 ) The highlight of my night will be the new monk and psychs... Im soooo ready to go to new york!

Oh- i was on youtube looking up random things and I found my old gymnastics place! I was like- heyyyyyy thats my place!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/user/DanceWorksTriCounty

Yeah everyone there is crazy good now- girls are up to what levek 7? Its like a level a year... i think....

I spent the rest of my day on facebook, yahoo, and im. Facebooks new look confuses me. I like most of it but I hate some of it too. Im switching back and forth between the two. Grrr I hate it when websites change- it screws up my routine.

My movie maker is still broken but its a different type I think I can fix it :0)
(thats my clown face)

I dont have anything going on at the moment. I think Im going to fnish cleaning my room....

Past days

Hmm- well I went to mirandas party. =D It was sooo much fun, we soaked each other with water, screamed our heads off, ect. K so they had water balloons which lasted 2 seconds and then we pretty much filled up buckets with water. Then we had the best pizza ever! It tasted like new york style, but i havent had actual new york pizza in probably-1-2 years so its not like i really remember (Im going to new york in 2 weeks tho) they also had an amazing cake that lacees mom made. (it was really, really good!) I thought it was from the store when i first saw it. We screamed our heads off during the hannah montana concert (for half of it anyways) it wasnt how i remembered it but it was still fun because when ur with ur friends almost anything is fun. Then we "slept" and went to mirandas church. After that they came to overflow at my church. That was fun. Then everyone went home D: and now 3 days later it feels like i havent seen them in forever!

Except then of course there was all this stuff with a friend that I had to deal with when i got home overflow. That was annoying. I hate stuff like that... whenever i get in a fight with a friend it pretty much ends with one of us forgetting or asking the other person to forget. That didnt happen and it freaked me out!

But everythings good now- finally.

I also did something to my head so I would just randomly get dizzy and wouldn't be able to see anything for like- 10 seconds. It keeps happening and its driving me nuts. But Im not sick or anything...

Tkd was fun... ish.

I always love the forms but I kept on getting dizzy when i was doing it but i really need to learn it... we did board breaks. The only thing i can break easily with out pain is the elbow thing which i momentarily forgot the name of... After board breaks was bo staff, and frankly, when people throwing sticks at me it really freak me out. I think Im going to do fans for weapons because as far as I know nobody throws stuff at you (and its fun) but im not sure.

Then this morning me and my sister woke up really early (like- 5:!5) so we could do to The Border. Its a nice diner- i love the people who work there. They're always really nice and happy =D I got coffee which practically never drink and I put a ton of sugar in it (on accident) so I had sugar rush for the next hour or so.

Then I got bored again and I took zoey (my dog) on a crazy long walk. We walked through south main st (i dont know where it stops so i have no idea if i walked the whole street or not) then we walked in some neighbor hood i got lost in. That led to a field and then another neighborhood. At that point I was about to find a spot I recognized so that I could call my mom and ask her how to get home. But I ended up by a road I used to take to get to school- it around the library so i didnt really get lost in the middle of nowhere.

It was probably the coffee (jk) but usually I would've just turned around and walked all the way back. My dog was so tired that as soon as we walked into the kitchen she didnt even reach her water bowl before she collapsed. By then it was still only twelve. Im used to getting up at 11 so it felt like 4 to me...

And now Im listening my yahoo station thing, being bored for the 1000th time today.

Grrrrrrrr

Grrr- vegas doesnt publish avi vids which is what my camera takes! and then when i looked at the price for downloading it it was $300- i dont have that much money. I dont even have $3- but its fun to edit on. Lots of effects. But I will find a video editor eventually! This was a really quick post. Im going to write about mirandas party later because im too lazy right now.

Sony Vegassssss

So I've been on youtube looking up new video editor cuz i have tried every possible way to fix mine and it doesnt work. So I've heard about sony vegas but it seemed really complicated but I looked at some tutorials and I was like- whoa. The videos look amazing! So I found a trial version and Im downloading it now... its probably to complex but I really want to make a video on it! Sorry- this probably means nothing to anyone reading it but Im excited and Im trying to pass the time by blogging and going on facebook. :)

Staying up all night =)

So recently my parents (who are usually really strict about bed times) said that I could stay up all night on Fridays. So I was going to watch the lord of the rings (i was going to try to get through all 3) but by the end of the first one I was already tired (cuz of all the fight scenes) so then i went on neopets and played games while listening to some music. Then I put on gilmore girls... and now im blogging. I have no idea what to do with myself and I want to see how late I can stay up before I get dizzy or something like that :)

I gave another try torwards picking up my bo staff with my feet. That mixed with all the clothes thrown everywhere on the floor and the fact that my bo staff was in the car and I had to use a broom to improvise... well it didnt work. I ended up destroying one of my tkd trophies from last year (it was already breaking) and I managed to make a platform on my shelf so loose that if you put any weight on it at all it will tip. I know- Im so brilliant at 4:30 in the morning.

Haha I just spelled brilliant wrong.

I also practiced my brown belt form- more mentally than anything because my house is so old the a lot of movement makes noise and I cant wake my parents up.

OK- so my house creeks for no reason- just random outbursts of noise- and it freaks me out because I have this fear that someone will break in and kill my family or something. It doesnt help that my dogs will bark at every stinkin noise.

Hmmm- I cant think of anything else to blog about so I'll write more when I can think staight.

I put my blog on facebook or something like that....

I know I haven't written which is a bad habit because i like to blog... anyways.

If you scroll down and look at the sidebar on the right the last thing there is a like button for my facebook thingy. Idk what it is but miranda got one so i wanted one!

So if you have a facebook and a blog u can make one too. Even though I have no idea what to do.

K so Im going to blog now.

Well first off- jellybeans was awesome! I only fell 3 times- BUT one of the times was because savannah was attacking me and trying to kill me!!!! haha and the other times were me being an uncordinated person. Savannah ended up spending the night, I actually stayed up late. At her house I always fall asleep around 1:30 or 2 for some reason and she stays up till 3 or 4

Then next I think it was stripe testing- that went well. I don't really know if I did anything right but I passed :D I loveeee the brown belt form! i "know" half of it and then i slightly remember the other half. But its one of my favorites.

K then tuesday in tkd we had to do this thing to start our bo staff form and i can not do it! I think my bo staff hates me... I practiced when i got home and almost shattered my mirror...

Then thursday I went to the pool with savannah, miranda, anna, and grace. Lindsay was going to go but she was sick D: That was really fun, when me and savannah we're trying to dunk each other we were yelling and making strange noises you'll proabably be content with not hearing as long as you live- then some old person was like- r u drownding... or something like that and we were like- nooo.... haha

Then tonight I went to a game night at my church! SOOO fun! We played this game called pit- I love it! It's my new favorite card game :D The majority of the people were playing baseball which I dont think would've been as much fun. We played apples to apples and watched people playing the wii. After that everyone ate and a ton of ppl started catching goldfish with there mouths. I remember in 5th grade when we did that- but then we had to clean it up...

Then dodgeball.

So I think- 2 years ago I was at new life camp and some person broke my finger while we were playing it so then I hated dodgeball- now I love it again! I stayed torwards the back for most of the game but a lot of balls would land back there so it was fun. We played three games and the only time I got out was in the last game and then I got back in =D And now Im all hyper because of the caffine!

So that was a quick summary of the past week. I will try to blog consistently (even tho I think only 2 or 3 people read my blog...)

Jellybeans!

So 1st stripe testing today for tkd. I have a feeling I'll fail. It's cuz of those retarded jump side kicks! I cant do 1,2, and 3 but I think my number 4 is starting to look like a kick and not like Im having a spasm. I went through the review sheet and it took me awhile to get the strikes and blocks right since we haven't practiced them in an eternity.

I just remembered we go early for stripe testing. So I'm late- but I feel like blogging.

Then me and savannah are going to jellybeans. I havent been there in forever, I'll count how many times I fall and post it later.

K so really short post- but again, I felt like blogging.

World Changers!!!!

Well world changers is over. That had to be the fastest week I've had and Im dead serious. Im going to devide all the days into sections so if you get bored with a day you can skip around.


Saturday


We drove up their, it was about 3 hours and 30 minutes. Me, Sam and Amanda rode in the guys car and no offence to the girls but I think they have a lot more fun in their cars. Idk, maybe not. Its just that on the way back from maryland EVERYONE slept and it was incredibly boring so yeah... But anyways, so we entertained ourselfs by prank calling, taking pictures, singing to (mocking) pastor daves countrey music, and getting trucks to honk at us... thats all I can think of at the moment.

I called miranda and talked to her for awhile then phillip did his wierd carlos speach. He did that to alicia too. It was funny we hear him talking and talking and then we here him go "did u hang up on me? hello? hello...?"

Then we finally got there and unpacked. Then we explored, hung out at the gym, ate, ect...

The opening ceremony was fun. Our thing was its the 20th anniversary of 1988 so everything was all hippie and stuff! They played top games of 88 and then they had a lip syncing contest- i was dying laughing.
I was really tired when we got to bed. So that was Saturday.



SUNDAY


Sunday is a little blurry so if I miss out on a couple stuff... well no one will know anyways,

So we didnt work on sunday we had worship. The speaker was amazing! Our youth pastor said he might preach at our Dnow. There was also a singer who was really good. Then we met our crew. There were 8 people on our crew total. Me, Jessi, Jared, Ricky (willy) and Aron. Then we had Mr. Rob as our crew cheif, Mr. Pete as a crew encourager and then Jessis mom. We had the smallest crew and we were all middle schoolers.

I was really scared because all the kids seemed really shy and anti social (and if u have ever met me before u know that i talk and talk and talk and talk....) and all the adults seemed really- intense. Everyone was supposed to have one or two people from their church on their crew. I seriously didnt know that I did. I told a couple of my friends who were at tables near by and they looked at my crew and didn't recognize anyone either. Then zach (who was sitting behind me) was like- Jared goes to our church! and I was like- crap, because I was thinking he might of heard me talking. I had never seen him before but I felt bad about it. I wasnt shouting when I was talking to my friends and the cafeteria was really loud-most of the people were talking to near by friends (pretty much no one was talking to their crew.)

Then we visited our work sites and passed out bibles, cds, and a list of near by churches. We had two houses. The first house was at a pretty bad neighborhood. I saw a guy walking around with a gun strapped around his arm and ankle. Then we went back and had dinner. The food wasnt that good. I had salads every night because I cant eat a lot of cafeteria food. The breakfast was good though. Then we had another worship and group devotions.

Then we had free time for about 2 hours then lights out.

MONDAY

That was our first day of work. The week went by really fast but the days lasted foooooorrreeeeeevvvvveeeeerrrrr. It was already hot outside but it was even hotter inside because they didnt have air conditioning. The house was really, really small for such a big family. I was guessing everyone shared a bed with two or three people because they only had three. I felt really- ungrateful. At that moment I wanted to give them 8/9 of my stuff. The family was a lot closer then most people back here. I remember talking to the 14 year old girl on one of my breaks and she was like "My family are my best friends!" She was serious, every time we went they would be in the living room hanging out.
I got to tear out a couple windows! Thats fun, I'm pretty sure a kid on our crew was treating it like it was a anger managment class the way he was going at it. Then we went to our church to have lunch. Their food was always really good. We worked until four then we went back to the highschool (we're we were staying at.) Me and my friends hung out in the small gym *there was a big gym and then a double door to a smaller gym that not everyone knew about in the beginning of the week* Anyways, my crew got back from our worksite late so when we all rushed to the showers there was already a 40 minute line.. not fun when you are supposed to take 5 min showers but almost everyone takes 15 and three showers dont work.
But time went quick cuz you were in line with your friends most of the time. This is pretty random but everyone single time you went into the showers within that 40 minute period somebody would bring up either hannah montana, high school musical, jonas brothers, or camp rock. Two people got in this huge fight on whether or not miley is turning into a lindsay lohan. They were screaming, I was like- oookkkk....

Then we ate, From this day on is when I ate salads and desert. They recycled their pork into their lasania and I wasn't going to eat unidentified meat or as zach would say "shoe leather"
But despite everybody not liking their food the cooks still made it every day for us so- thanks.



Tuesday


We finished up our first house. There was this one window that took 3 hours to tear out. But it was my favorite because they let me out on the roof to do some of it. I loveeee being on roofs. It was funny watching one of the other girls freaking out because she's never been on the roof. Jessi's mom was afraid we'd both fall of the edge but I guess if I was babysitting and someone was on the roof I'd be having a heart attack. This roof was a lot more flat then maryland so I wanted to stay there the rest of the day. We had to sweep up all the little tiny wood pieces that fell when we tore out windows. Except we had to sweep carpets with a broom and use a peice of paper as the dust pan. This took fooorrreeevvveerrr! Then when we left we found out that we not only had a dust pan but we had a vaccum. =( Well now if we lose our dust pan or vaccum I'm ready.

We finished early and all of the girls were like "Yes showersss!!!!!!!!!!" But when we got back the doors were locked and after 4 other crews got there they let us in...

U should have seen us run! We were racing to out rooms flying back down the steps to get to our showers. Yes, it was a pretty pathetic thing to do on my part because as I was running into the shower room I did something to my toe and i spranged or something.... i only had to wait 4 minutes though :D

After that I went and hung out- did my first fully done bible study to the point were I didn't feel like I was rushing it so I'd get done in time for all dinner/worship.

I think today was the concert of prayer... BEST DAY EVER!

It is amazing how much god works. You entered in complete silence then they started off with prayer at your seat they told you different things to pray about. Then you got to go up on stage and write on a white sheet of paper a note to god. It could be whatever- I wrote about everything I was thankful for. Then you would go up and write on a black sheet with a black marker so no one could see it (and it was dark so you could even see the shine of the ink) and you wrote all your sins and asked god to forgive you. Then you could go back to your seat and pray about whatever you needed to or stand up and sing. I tried to sing but I started crying- for no other reason then everything they talked about got to me. Its hard to explain. That was the best night for me while I was there. We went outside to our youth group devotions and God was really- real. Gods always been real but I could feel it, like he was right next to me. Like I said its hard to explain. I'm pretty sure there were at least 50 other people feeling the same way.


Wednesday

HALF DAY! We worked until lunch then went back to the high school and spent the afternoon with your youth group wherever they decided to go. We didn't go to our second home because all we had to do was roof and abunch of touch ups. So we went to a different house. They were flooring and painting. I helped With the flooring for two seconds then I helped scrape paint in the bathroom and then I helped paint a wall in the living room. It went by really quick because the whole time I was either talking to Akira or Sarah(go to my church) then there's Chris she was hysterical. I met her the day before because akira was hanging out with her. She's one of those people that everyone likes to hangout with and she finds time to hang out with everyone.

That picture is of Me, Chris, and Akria.






Then was our HALF DAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the youth groups were going to the water park, others were going to see a boat tour. We went to the beach! It was fun- the waves weren't that big so eventually almost everyone came out and started barrying people in sand. I got a picture of my brother. I got barried too. It was fun but there was some sort of crab or something slimy that was moving around my leg which freaked.me.out. But it was still fun. Then we went to some sort of grill. They had a bunch of raw seafood and you decided what you wanted. I got all the seafood and put all the sauces on it- it was crazy good. You got to watch them cook it on this big circular stove. After we finished Zach (the adult zach) started throwing spit balls at people. That was really funny! I'm sure the waitresses were happy.

Then again at $20 a person and with there being about 37 of us I dont think they really cared. After that we went to walmart and I forget if I got the two cans of whipped cream before or after.

I have a weird obsession since we never have it at my house and its amazing. So I bought two cans and shared it with all the girls in my room.
Along with beef jerky for amanda because she is addicted.


Thursday

This was the longest day ever! We started our third house. I love that lady! She was sooo sweet. It was really cool because she was loosing pigment in her hands which made her hands turn white. Then one day at her church she found a recipe that could turn them black again. She had everything she needed except for beets. As soon as she got home one of her neighbors brought to much and gave her some... when we heard that we were all like= whoa :D

I did a lot of different things- roofing, fencing, mowing, redid a little of the porch, power washing, putting in gutters, and trimming trees/branches/ I'm pretty sure thats everything (everything I did at least) It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I think all construction workers should get a award or something.

Everyone was trying to get all the work done all we needed was to clean and do a little more roofing tomorrow.

ohhhhh And then I met creeker!!!!!!!!!

K so I have a HUGE obsession with dogs. And there was this big security dude who apparently had a dog. In the high school cafeteria when you walk in theres a wall on your right then on that wall is door to the office then 5 or 6 windows that go up and down the whole wall. If you look through the window theres this strip of land that has benches and tiny trees and flowers. Then after the stripe of land is the library. So the land is basically caged in.

So there was this really tiny puh. SoooooOOOOoooOOOooo cuuuutttteeeee :D I wanted to burst in there and start playing with him sooooo stinkin bad! But pastor dave was like- asked the security guard. I had no idea who he was so I couldn't ask. But later we saw some of the middle school guys petting her so obviously they got permission.

Then we went in and we did know her name so we called her creeker. If you've ever seen my dog (zoey) well creeker is the miniture version.

Oh and in case u didnt know our church youth are creekers. (richland creek) we have a chant and everything- which we did randomly during meals. Yeah we were the crazy church that everyone talked about- boy was it fun.

Then for worship was the offering. He had an awesome sermon on giving. Then we went to bed.


Friday

LAST DAY!!!!

It was bittersweet type thing. I didn't want it to be over, but thats what makes it so special is that its not that long. I wanted to go home to my family and my pups but after living with my friends *and crew* for a week they felt like family and it was really sad not too be able to see them. I also wanted to see Savannah, Miranda, and Lindsay... i missed them a lot even though I only see them 2-4 times a week.

So when we went to work we were all sad. All we did was clean. I got kinda sick, but last year I was sick almost every day and didn't go too 3 days of work so I was determined not to stop. We picked up branches, wood, weeds, ect. We packed we took our last chance to go on visitation. Then we waited for the part of the roof the kids weren't aloud to work on to get done.

I actually fell asleep on the porch but whatever....

Then our crew cheif got a call to go help the high school group. They only had room for one person to help so there was a park next to us so my crew went there and got some shade... good times, good dehydrated times.

And that was it for the last day of work.

I came back and did everything I didn't do yet (yes there were some things I wish I had done but it would've been really stupid on my part so i didnt)

Then the closing awards. All they did was play this video

(for better quality download it here: http://www.world-changers.net/site/c.jjJVJ6MNIwE/b.4277745/ )

(i think its the full version if u download it- this isnt)




It may not be as interesting as it was for me because I knew a lot of the people in there... but in case u get bored you can watch it.

So we all got upset about leaving but we still had fun. We invited people to come to the celebration and the lady from the third house did! She was so much fun!

Then they let us stay up till 12 and they had a dance party! with the electric slide type music. It was fun and then pastor dave taught me and my friends how to swing dance :D me and amanda/akira perfected it. It was fun.

Then after all the fun we had to go to sleep.



Saturday:

Got up early, everyone was supposed to have donuts but our church forgot to preorder them so we were starving. But some guys from a different church had left overs and were really nice and gave me and akira some.

We had an hour to say goodbye- it wasnt enough.

Then pastor dave to took everyone to Mc Donalds for breakfast- his treat :D

Then it was our long journey home (we took the guys car again) and it was fun. Me and my brother were doing this weird handshake he taught me lol.
we hung out and then went home- sorry its not so detailed... i wanted to write something about it.


And I know there are a lot of grammar mistakes- again sorry.

So that was my amazing week at world changers!!!!

Coolest video evvveeerrrr

Yes I do remember that I have blog and im really sorry about not writing but half the time my laptop was taken and the other have I was spending all my time on facebook... but i got this video in an email. It's long and you might get bored at some points but watch the whole thing- its really awesome!

Done with Runners Camp and tomorrow is world changers.

K so today was the last day of runners camp. We had a dunking tank and a huge blow up slip and slide type thing. When I got on the dunking tank all the girls were like "I'm going to get you!" But in the back of the thingy you can pull a bar and you fall in. They did that to me three times before one of the girls tried to throw a ball. Then after another to dunks I got out. I wanted to go to the track meet but I had to do some last minute packing for WORLD CHANGERS!!!!

I!CAN!NOT!WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say this is my last post for awhile but I will probably write something tomorrow because I will be bored and wanting to leave but I'll have an agonizing two hours before I can actually go. I'm afraid I'm going to forget something important... I know I'll I'm going to forget something I just hope I don't absolutely need it.

So now I have that feeling in my stomach because I'm so excited... Oh and another blonde moment of mine... I zipped my brush up in my suitcase so Idk what I'll use tomorrow because once I open my bag it takes both of my 70 pound dogs sitting on it to close it again (not really but it takes a looooonnnnggggg time.)

Ok well I'm going to try and "sleep"

Oh and I got my Internet back on my computer!!!!! Just in time for me to leave for 8 days and not be able to get on it at all :D

Runners Camp/ WORLD CHANGERSSSSSSSSSS

So runners camp was this week. I'm sick of explaining what it is so yeah... maybe later. I'm helping with the 7 year old girls, they are sweet (mostly) but they are 7... enough said. One girl gave me a death threat when I said I wouldnt give her a piggy back ride. I was like- wooooww anger managment. But its fun. The day after its done I head off to world changers!!!! YES! I've been waiting to go FOREVER! A lot more of my friends are going this year too... cant wait. Ill try to take pictures. Im debating whether or not to take my camera...

K short post but i g2g to bed earlier so I can sleep for camp, and tkd, and broom ball, and something else that I dont remember... fun fun. Then friday is the last day of runners camp (i might get to get dunked in the dunking tank) then world changers- thhhheeennn I want to do the second week of runners camp but idk if my mom will let me or if I'll be too tired or if I'll get sick like I do every single flippin year.

My internet went down AGAIN!!!!!

My flippin retarded internet went down AGAIN! (As you can tell from the title) Until my dad has the time to fix it I can hardly ever get on the internet....

SO

For my sisters gradutation we went to this really fancy resturant ( frisers) and all the food was AMAZING! When I first read the menu I was like umm, I'm not putting something in my mouth that I cant pronounce. But it was really good.

And everything was so.... pretty!

I got scallops for the first course and chicken for the second course. The scallops were really good! I liked the chicken, it wasn't just chicken it had some sort of green stuff stuffed into it. I didnt like the green stuff but the chicken itself was really good. Then came desert and I get to say something that not a lot of people get to say.... (drum roll).....


I got to eat cheese ice cream!!!!!

I didnt get the desert for the cheese ice cream. They had this white chocolate mouse that had strwberrys on it and that was what I wanted anyway so I tried the cheese ice cream and it turned out really well. And no it didn't taste like cheese... but im guessing if I took bigger bites it might have tasted similar.

So thats what we did for my sisters graduation (CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!) I took some pictures but forgot to bring the camera into the restaurant but I still got pictures of everyone dressed up... those are on my laptop so I will put it up when I get my internet back.

Then I went babysitting. The kids are so good... I like being around little kids because I act just like them and they don't care. So now I have some money for fathers day...

This morning I went to my first runners camp counselor meeting. I've been going to that camp every year since I was old enough. Now I get to volunteer which my whole family says is better. They have water games which everyone wants to work at, but they usually dont let the younger volunteers work at them. So I got to be an age group helper for the 7 year olds. Thats what I wanted so Im happy... thats starts monday.

I have no idea how soar i am going to be after runners camp.... the day after runners camp I go to world changers... I'll take a before/after picture. (Before I get killed with sunburn and after)

I have nothing to do on a saturday... its sad. I dont know when Im going shopping for fathers day....

Oh well, I was up till 3 o'clock last night and then I had to wake up early for the meeting... so now I feel sick from being so tired...

Im going to sleep for the rest of the day... k bye.

MY BROTHER IS COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait! I haven't seen him since christmas! My brother is a youth pastor in california, the desert part of it. He has a long curly red beard and long blonde hair. I 'll take a pic of him, I'm sooo excited. He's coming up for a wedding but he's also going to our sister graduation and I think he'll be here for fathers day. So I'll get to see him some time. When he came home for christmas I thought he was only going to stay for a week but because he had some problems he ended up staying for a month! But the first week he came back all his friends were spending all of his time with him, but sometimes they would come back to the house and he would come for dinner.
Hes a really fun person to talk too. He has a bunch of stories of things he's done. I've really missed him-

K so to pass the time before he gets back I'll write about what I did today....

Well I hurt my arm so I didn't go to tkd because I didn't want to make it worse. Savannah said they did a ton of exercises and then tension side kicks and I dont really feel bad about missing it....

I went to a friends house. She went to my old church and I've only seen her twice this year! She's about the sweetest person ever!!!!! Then I came home and talked to my friends for the whole time.

Then I was bored and me and my sister went to walmart and we ended up buying a taylor swift cd (one of the only country singers i like) turns out my "media player doesnt have the right codec to play file" and it wont tell me what the stinkin codec is so I can download it... but my sister said she can get it on our old computer and I can put it on my mp3 player and put it back on my laptop.

Then I got bored again and decided that I was too pale. I'm seriously like a ghost... but it doesnt bother me or anything. I looked up a homade sunless tanning recipe. I found one that involved cocoa so I was like "chocolate- sweet." and I rubbed it on. It worked on my legs but then when I put it on my face it looked orange so I was like- whatever. It rubbed off just fine. Then I was bored again and I wanted wrap myself in tin foil just to see what it feels like but then my common sense kicked in and i was like- ha! I'll write an entry on my blog and let everyone know that Im still capable of posting.

And now I am done and I'm bored and I'm watching my sister try on all these dresses....


my brother needs to get here!!!!!!

Sorry...

Sorry no posts lately, honestly nothings been happening. Hmm... seriously nothing is coming to mind. Well actually a lot, but half of it is the type of stuff that starts rumors/spreads gossip. Mainly I am super mad at my brothers ex, I hope that the guy she likes now is going to show her how great of a boyfriend my brother was... she called today.

Thats all I'm going to say, cuz I'm on the verge of being super mean to her.

I cant wait for the pool to open, I need something to do this summer... besides sitting around watching tv. World changers is a little more than 2 weeks away... exciting


OH

And my oldest brother is coming home for a week!!!! =0) (thats my new awesome clown faced smiley!)

I have to take a pic of him- he doesnt look anything like a youth pastor lolz...

See- extremely short post, Im still mad but whatever...

The Call

You know those really good songs that hit you in the gut after you listen to them. The type that you find like- 4 times a year. (This is how it is for me because I dont usually listen to meaningful music)
But anyways yesturday I finally saw narnia and this one song at the end kinda hit me. Idk why I like it so much I usually dont like sad songs but I thought this was really good so I looked it up and decided to put in on here.

Maryland journal/pics

K so, were do I start?????

The car ride.

So on the way up we were all excited and hyper and pretty much talked the whole time. It was a 15 passenger car and all except one row was full of 6/7 graders. I was in the very back with sam, tahlia and akira. The time past faster this year... but we talked about everything!!!!! Then they started to play this silent game. Last year they played it on the way back for 2 whole hours and it drove me mad!!! But that only last for like- 2 minutes.
We stopped at burger king/wendys.... tough choice.

Personaly I think wendys is all around better but I like how (in my oppinion) burger king has an "off the grill" taste to it. But they are slow and the line was long so me and some friends walked over to wendys.

Then we got back into the car, by then it was dark and everyone pulled out their cameras and started taking all these pics of course my video camera doesnt have a flash so I didnt really use mine.
After that we fell "asleep" by asleep I mean we closed our eyes and continued talking. The camp is on this big hill so I sat backwards in my seat and told scary lies about the camp to my 6th grade friend who's never been before.
Of course we stayed true to richland creek timing and got there two hours later than planned. Which means we fell asleep two hours later than planned.
Ok now here is my first scary camp experience!
Sarah and I could not sleep! Then for some reason when we relized we were both awake we just started laughing and could not stop. So I was motioning for her to get off the bunk beds (we were both on top) and go to the bathroom so we could laugh without them hearing us. So of course I fell and woke everyone up, which made sarah laugh even harder. Then after- 15 minutes of cracking up in the bathroom we went back and fell asleep. Ok here is the freaky part!

I woke up at around- 5 in the morning and I could tell my bed was positioned differently so I start freaking out and was like "Were am I?" Of course I was in sarahs bed and she was in mine. We have no idea how that happend but it was really wierd.

Then it was work, on the roof. How many middle school girls can say that? (probably a lot but whatever)

We tore off shingles and the tarp paper. Then we got out the nails and we were done! I worked on to cabins and one bigger building. I also painted the fence which got boring fast.
Then of course was free time and we went exploring, boating and just hanging out.
It was nice, everyone got along with each other. One guy screwed up and said something pretty bad but he apologized and moved on.

There were these koreans there too. I used to have a best friend who was korean and she was soooo sweet but these people were rude.. I said hi to every single one and they all ignored me.

But the probably thought we were wierd too, being on the roofs and all. They were good singers though. One time at lunch people started randomly saying "welcome to moes" when people walked in the door and a korean walked in and ran out. =)

But that was wierd because all the other koreans I've ever met were so nice! And this was a christian camp-

Thats all I'm going to write now cuz its time for bed but Im going to come back and edit this and put more pics in it, (the pics were taken by the one and only Tahlia!)

Maryland.....

WAS AWESOME!





I didn't get any pictures of me on the roof- too bad. I got some pics of the scenery (beautiful) but my cameras quality was a little blurry from all the sun. It was amazing though! I will write about it later cuz I might get more than 4 hours of sleep tonight!!!!



So more tomorrow (Wednesday?)





Here is one pic- this was my favorite spot.

Umm- write love on your arm?

K, so on facebook theres a thingy about writing love on your arm. Im not exactly sure what this is for, I think its supposed show that we care about the depressed people. I think there is a deeper purpose- I just dont get it. But from what I get it sounds ok so I'm going to write love on my arm, I'm posting this because I want to know if anyone has ever heard of this and maybe they can explain to me... ^_^

widgets

I was bored so I went on yahoo widgets- best site ever!

I downloaded:

a bouncy ball that I can throw around with my mouse
an alarm clock
about 10 different games
a notepad that i can custamize the backround of
a organizer
and a flashcard thing (I'm gonna use it for my verses at TKD for my belt testing.)

Got science grades :(

This is retarted...

So I'm good at science... actually not really.

I have a terrible memory when it comes to school, so for science I just study take whatever test there is and I usually get an A.

Last semester when she handed out quizzes in class she wouldnt let us have partners if it was for a grade this semester she let us and I didnt know. So I would go home and throw out the stuff I thought I didnt need and she would ask for it 2 weeks later. I'm not an organized person and I'm like "Uhhh, idk what that is but I dont have it."
And she'd be like "K well thats a zero unless you get it."

So I'm thinking, well what do you want me to do? I cant do anything about it now. If she wanted me to do it over I wouldnt have a problem with that but it would be "unfair"

My math score is screwed because of stupid geometry. I'm not sure whatI'll get in writing because at the beginning it was suprising how hard it was so I wasnt that good in the first semester but the second one I think I did A LOT better and at least I tried. It's gonna be annoying if I get a bad grade in writing becuase- it's writing. It's the one subject I actually look forward too..?

Her class is really hard, good but hard. She started out with like- 20 kids and she ended up with 6 1/2. the 1/2 is for one kid who joined around christmas and didnt show up half the time. We take pride in our lasting through the class. When I take it again, I'm going to do soooo much better!

Well if I get a bad grade in math I'll remind my parents that on my EOG's it said I jumped 3 (4?)grades!!!

I'm almost done!

So my last writing class was today- it wasnt even a class, it was a party! We turned in our homework and then she brought in ATON of food. Then me and kimberly played monopoly. We were really confused cuz we thought it was regular monopoly but when we took it out it was like someone cut the board in half.... yeah it was monopoly junior shrek edition. I won! hahaha.... then we had a drawing and Cody was like "I'll bet you $10 that I dont win." I was like "Sure... no jk." I dont know if she heard that last part... too bad I dont have $10- I have absolutey no money.... I have no idea where it all went.

Anyways, we only have one more math class and two more science classes... but one of them is tomorrow. I wonder if I tell my teacher Im going away for the weekend if she'll cut my homework in half 0_o

I'm going to youth group pretty soon... I think Im helping with the awana awards night but Im not sure...

This is the first week I dont want to go one visitation, considering I've been the last three weeks. I wonder if I'll get to hear the lesson before I help with awards night. I think I'mgiving out ice cream. I remember flipping out when the church got us ice cream. Most of the time it's from goodberry's, best.ice.cream.ever!!!!!!!!!

So if I can get batteries I'll take pictures of the camp we're going to.

Im off to fix roofs and paint fences

Well, not yet. I would've gone last weekend but everyone thought it was going to rain.... whatever. This is our world changers pre-project. We went to this camp last year and fixed- idk, about half of their cabin roofs. It was fun though, my brother managed to fall off a roof too. I almost did. When I was cleaning the gutters and I was on this unstable ladder and I leaned over to get some other leafs out and I felt it jerk... man that was scary!

K, so this time I wont be as terrified to get on a roof. Last time I wouldn't get up until I saw that no one was falling- except for my brother.

There roofs are crazy steep. On the back they had to put some wood down to stop people from sliding off. But on the front all the cabins have a porch and the roof over that is nice and flat. So I only worked on the front. Cant wait!

Then we painted fences which was not as much fun, except for pouring paint all over my jeans, yeah... good times.

We finished everything early so for one day it was like going to camp. They have this lake that has canoes so I went on that a lot.

Then we are going to Virginia for world changers! I CANT WAIT FOR THAT! I absolutely loved world changers last year... but I was in a crabby mood for almost the whole week... idk why. I think I was sick?

The bad thing is that if I help out at runners camp (one week) then go to world changers (one week) then we are going to new york (1-2 weeks?) then theres the week I am going to get sick (trust me after either world changers or runners camp I get really dehydrated and shrivel up for about a week) so that's about a month away from TKD. But I might do it during runners camp...

But that's about a month away.

And next year our world changers is going to GREECE!!!! (did I already mention this?)


Haha, I will be going into 9th grade next summer so I get to go on the high school one. I am sooo excited.

And I know my mom will enjoy it. I told someone at world changers last year that my mom was the one shouting for joy as we left... that joke lasted forever. I've been writing a lot about my mom. Just so you know I am not one of those kids who hate their parents with a passion. Just thought I'd clear that up.

forget it

Yeah that big long postt, forget it. I was typing like mad and I was just about done and then firefox randomly shuts down and says a virus was found so I checked the problems section and there is no stinking virus.... retarted. So Im like, well blogger saves automatically and I ckeck the posts section and it wasnt there. Grrr, I am mad at blogger. So maybe if Im bored I type it up but not today because I have TKD for the first day in a week! Then Savannahs coming over (to make up for not going to her house the night before because I've beeen so much "better") its not the same but whatever. So bored, and now I have to do school.

Lucky me!

I'd tell you but my mom would have to kill.... me?

Ok so I wake up and my sister jumps on my back about me throwing out her clothes. So I had a bag of clothes that I wasnt sure if I wanted to keep/give away/give to friends/throw out. So she wants to rampage it and Im (looking for her clothes) and Im like- no I dont have any of your clothes in there then she gets mom and they're both jumping on my back... grrrrrrrrr.


Then my mom decides that not wanting people tearing through my stuff was "snoty" then she's like "Your not going to Savannahs !" And apparently that was a chance for me to cool off before she did but I was thinking she was actually calling her so I was like frantically apologizing and she took that as sassying her or something? Its been a long day already and its only ten o'clock. So Im not going to see narnia with my friend :(





Then my mom and I had a fight but I cant write about that because the security of my laptop for the summer has been comprimised.





Arrrrrgggggghhhh- it feels like everyones been on my back lately, parents, sibling, people who arent related but live with us, teachers (end of the year,) every single day for the past week I've had do something I desperatly didnt want to, or deal with something that someone else caused, or worry about something, or act like someone else to avoid a fight, or be respectful when I felt like tearing my hair out (thats happend a lot lately) or clean up a friends mess because she cant do it on her own.... yeah stressful week. And I still have to deal with have of the stuff above


And now the thing I was looking forward to (seeing narnia with my friend) is gone and no matter how much I reason with her its no, no, no, no!

I went to a friends house after church and her mom was so different from a lot of other moms. She was just plain kind. When my friend did something her mom didnt like she simply pointed it out and let her think about it. She didnt jump on her back or anything. Her mom knew how to let someone have fun even if they screw up. Of course right now I'm really mad at my mom and almost anyone looks... er... more pleasent to be around. (I'm sure she feels the same about me)

I hate today... I need to get to tomorrow. I wish I was one of those people who could sleep all afternoon and still be tired at night.





Grrr... mondays.

My lack of posts will be made up for

Yep, lots of things happening this week. Unfortanately my laptop was taken away until saturday. I wrote down a journal for every day to post on here but it will take awhile to write it up- it was 5 notebook pages!

I did write this huge rant on my mom! I mean it was a full out vent. But I came on too strong and decided not to publish it. I just let her think I was going to so she would read it.

She didnt like that, lets just say that this blog was about to be deleted :(

So huge post comeing on saturday/sunday.

I just posted it to tell everyone that Im still writing on it and now that I said I would I might actaually do it.

Ok, back to me being grounded from the internet.

Hello ppls

I am at randas house and I saw my blog and felt guilty for not writing anything. Anyways- we made a youtube account- no videos yet but here is the link www.youtube.com/lilacluver

k bye

Sinco De Mayo

Yeah- don't think I spelled that right... its pronounced (sink O day my O)

Its like a Spanish 4th of july. So in honor of this after me and my sis went to starbucks (we also drove by the marquee and saw Lacee's amazing paintings in the window) then we went to the dollar store and got some hats and flowers and I got some silly string because- well I've never bought it before.

Me and my Elizabeth took pics but she was to busy with her life to upload them- So here is my lonesome new profile pic.

EDIT: Well I just googled it and its spelled with a C (cinco) its also mexican- not spanish.


But the mexicans were sunbrarrows! hahaha



Oh yeah and I have this freaky stalker experience while wearing a sunbrarrow that I got to blog about but I think I have to start school D:

Meet in the street- part one!

So my camera cofused my mom again- she managed to get short vids that I can use as pics (thanks mom)

However mirandas family video taped it- they put part one up-





Thank you!!!!!!!

Meet in the street

Yeah well it was just awesome.

Despite all the little mistakes I made I think everything went really well. lol, there was this one kid on the side who looked like he was having the time of his life. He was jumping up and down and cheering and booing it was kinda funny to see someone that excited. There is so much more I could write about but i have to go to bed soon so-

I walked around after the demo but I was super tired so I walked home... then later I decided that I could only see it once a year. We went back just as the black belt world pplz were going on- I semi wanted to watch but I knew it would make me mad...? Idk why but before when someone would break a board or do a jump kick I would be like "whoa thats so cool" and now when I see it I either think "I can do that" or "i know someone who can do that" its not really that impressive anymore. So I went down to watch the dancers in case my friend was up there.

I love meet in the street! I wonder who came up with it- k now i g2g bye.

Babysitting-

I've had experiecence but never for this long and late. I went over and there are these two boys (one is 5 the other is 8) and they are the sweetest kids I have ever met. It was so easy- I played outside with them, I watched them watch a movie while I played with their dog and then I played a few games with them before they went to bed... After that I just watched TV.

It was the easiest money I have ever made.


And their dog was soooooo cute! She was this tiny lap dog (dont know which breed) and she freaked out at food so after they had been sleeping for awhile and I got bored it was hystericall to watch this tiny dog body slam against the side of the couch hoping she would make a crum fall. Then when she started to get annoyed all I had to do is get up and give her a little nibblet out of her bowl. Ha, I got paid to have fun.

Now I'm happy!

Not nervous- just tired.

Here I am thinking that I'm going to have to get someone to wake me up so I can get ready- I could sleep till 12:00 and still show no sign of waking up. Anyways I have this wierd dream that I don't remember what happened I just remembered that it took place at meet in the street. So anyways I wake up at 6 and I am lying in bed doing nothing- not even sleeping.

Why in the world would anyone (my sister) get up this early? What do they do with so much extra time in their day? I wanted to practice this morning but theirs not all that much I can practice- I know the fans I just have to remember to pull my leg back. I should practice my form- but I get tired of doing it so many times and then just start screwing it up...

Maybe I'll do math- it'll put me back to sleep.

Meet in the street- tomorrow.

We had an extra practice today. I really like the demo, the star wars thing looks so cool (everybody in there cloaks and all) My mom is video taping the demo so I'll get it up sometime. The fans are alot of fun but our form is driving me nuts. Idk why but I just could not do it well at all today. I'm hoping I'll do better tomorrow- I'm usually good under pressure.

Im making another video but my movie make wont publish it to the computer so idk if I can upload it. Its to bad day by Alvin and the chipmunks- I kinda wish I had the original but oh well. I was in a depressed mood this afternoon... everything in the video is all black and white.

Thats all, meet in the street is tomorrow so I'll write about it later.

One peice?

There are absolutely no modest one pieces left in the world- I went shopping with my sister for 3 hours looking for swimsuits! We were both about to pull our hair out. Finally I just bought some swim shorts and a tank to put over my other swimsuit... I get that its a church mission trip and their going to want a one piece and obviously people will buy modest clothes- so why don't they make them? We seriously went to at least 9 different stores.

Dang it.

I have absolutely no organization skills whatsoever... the type of person who will open a notebook to any random page, write in it and then can't find it when I need it. I also procrastinate- that's when I do my best work though. Yeah- I'm talking about my writing class. I loooovvveee writing but I hate deadlines, grades and guidelines. It really crushes the creativity. Not that I don't like the class- its just not easy... that sounded really dumb.

So its 12:40 and I have to wake up at 6 to check my math/writing before I turn it in. I am soooo tired but absolutely cannot sleep.

Oh and I had a mega blonde moment!


So I was practicing my fans and then my mom came upstairs and I was suddenly "reminded" that I was supposed to be in bed. So I dive in bed with the fan in my hand and then like, two minutes later I'm like- duh, I have to put it away (cuz my dog will attack it if its sitting still) so I sit up and start looking around in my room for it (my room is disaster) and I can't find it to save my life. So I'm like- well if I can't find it my dogs wont. So I go back in bed- I feel it on my back and I'm like what in the world is that? Yeah- it didn't register.

Yeah- I still cant sleep.

Yesterdays post about last week continued today.

Hmmm, well.... Oh yeah! Some bright people from our church (richland creek) decided to make up a chant so that whenever anyone says "I'm a creeker your a creeker were a creeker all and when we get together we do the creeker call-"

we all have to do this wierd thing were we act like monkeys and then make some sort of chinese martial arts noise... its a little scarry. So now wherever we are: Cici's, the factory, wet and wild- you just know someones going to say it.
Haha- can't wait.

Well my mind just went completely blank so I'll talk about today

We had meet in the street demo practice for TKD- which I love. I really like the fans! Now that I know what to do. My mom is getting sick of listening to me practice... they are LOUD! I'm pretty sure that she's going to plug her ears at meet in the street...

We also have this really long star wars thing that we're doing. All the good guys and bad guys are getting cloaks and these super cool lightsavers.. i get plastic which id also really fun... I want to go to some store and buy them all.

What else.... oh- did I mention I hate geometry? Well I do- and I don't even think the stuff in my math class is supposed to be hard. To think I used to love math.

Trying to think of anything else.... nope.

Yeah- ermm.

Well- yeah sorry i haven't written in a week. It was sooo busy. Hmmm, well lets see- i'm terrible at geometry, I think my writing teacher is mad cuz I'm so unorganized, theres no way I'm going to finish my school by the end of may.

On the bright side I found my long lost pokemon game! Thats actually a bad thing considering I found it 2 days ago and I think I've spent like- 80 hours on it....

Yeah, well I cant write as long cuz i have to sleep.

My movie maker is dead =*(

Its so screwed up I don't think I'll ever get it running... I was trying to make a video of me and amanda and then suddenly whenever I tried to publish it- it sayed that it wasn't the orginal source (which it is) or that I don't have enough space (which I do) or that I'm not saving it to an availible spot (which I am) so I spent hours on the web researching this problem and apperently abunch of people got it and no one has any solutions. Then I remembered awhile back downloading a codec package for my mp3 player so I thought that maybe I needed to delete it. Well, apperently I deleted the wrong codec package because now the movie maker wont play AVI which is what my video camera is. Then I even went as far as to save everything on discs so I could completly restart (As in like it was when I first turned it on) but it turns out I don't have the right cd for it or something- yeah vista is a pain.

Too add to a stressful day I knocked myself out when I was playing with the dog. We where playing tug-o-war and I yanked it out of her mouth fell backwards and hit my head on the wall- hard. Hard enough to faint. I don't know how long I was out, I'm guessing not very long at all considering my dog was still fasinated with her chew toy (which she gets bored of fast if no one is playing with her) So I get up and I was like- did I just pass out? I was home alone, so I call my mom and told her I hit my head (I didn't tell her I passed out because she sounded so stressed) and the first thing she said was "Did you hurt the wall?" haha- love you to mom.
But I'm praying for some miracle to make my movie maker work or to let me find something as good and easy as it, considering thats were I spend almost all of my time when I'm on the computer (and when my internet goes out, like it seems to do so often) Jeez.. long day.

my email is a retard

It wont let me attach pictures, forward messages, add more than two people to a message and it wont work on the beta version anymore. I think it broke? I'm hoping its just a glitch and they will fix everything. So for now I am using my gmail account for that I made for this blog. I am really mad at hotmail and decided to take it out here- ok im done. I'll write more tomorrow.

Happy Brithday dad!

TKD was fun- we spent the hole time practicing demos (which I love) for meet in the street.

We are celebrating my dads birthday and me being the wonderful daughter that I am forgot all about getting him a present. *Thankfully* the wondeful people who go to Mrs. Stancils church sponsered us in the tournament and I got most of the money back!
So I ran with my sister down to target (I bribed her with starbucks) and I got a card and the wow worship cd. (Oh and at starbucks their whip cream making machine thing was having problems and so me and my sister ended up with whip cream falling down the side of the cup.) I also split the cost of a Casting Crowns cd with my sister for my mom. I never thought of my mom as someone liking music (I grew up with her listening to talk shows instead) so its entertaining to watch her get all happy over finding music that she really likes.

So now almost all of the tournament money is spent D: But I'm pretty sure my dad will like his gift.

World changerssssss yes!!!

Ok so last year I had such a great time at world changers! Basically its a teen mission trip. Very renewing. I loved it when we went to Fort Walton last year! Now we are going to Virginia. Also for the pre project we are going to fix some roofs at the same camp we did last year. I was terrified to get on the roof last time but after I did I wished I'd spent more time on there. This year I am dying to go on. I still cant go on the back of the roof because you will slide right off. They literally had to nail boards to the back so people wouldn't fall. However my brother managed to slip anyways. I almost did when I was cleaning the gutters... The worst thing about it is that you have to sleep in a cabin that someone just tore all the shingles off of so hopefully no rain. I think I might go one day earlier because I really want to roof...

So my sister is going to liberty and she just got back from a weekend over there (along with Jenn, her mom, my mom, and will.) She had a really fun time but I think my mom was more inspired as soon as we got home she starts telling me all about the opportunity's i would have there. I even asked her if she thought it was better than yale and she was like "most definatly" Haha- but it does sound fun. My sister says that almost everyone there are great christians and they have an awesome church. They also have concerts almost every week apperently... I'm starting to sound like my mom. lol.

BROWN BELT!!!!!!!!

Yes!!! I finally am a brown belt! I did pretty good on testing. Better than I thought. I actually got acouple tens. Yes! I think it was an all around good belt testing. Our demo was thrown together in about a week but it still turned out pretty good. We are also completely done with purple!!!! All we have to do is remember the form. I also get to start breaking boards this semester. I don't know how its going to work though because we are going to be practicing for meet in the street so I think we are going to split the time that we do everything but then again we might just practice demo through the whole month... I dont really care either way.
Yep, Then we went to moes and adventure landing. I actuallt went to subway and me and miranda split a foot long. Adventure landing was fun. I gave all my tokens for randa to gamble because she had just won the jackpot. Then I got these tiny hand cuffs that I thought looked cool. We also tried to play hide and seek on the golf course but it was too hot to run around.
Well I know we did a lot more but I want to sleep.

Very short post to say that I actually got 1000 views!

YESSS BELT TESTING IS OVER!!!

Yep, so the second day wasn't as easy as I thought. We had to spar which explains it all. Anyways we also had to do our form again. Im not really sure why- I think its because when we did it the first time she had all the black belts comment and I guess that didn't work or something. Anyways I walk in and I figure I'm just gonna say verses and practice for the demo (i forgot about sparring) so then Mrs. Knox and Mrs. Henry are talking about how we are doing it again so immediatly being the slow minded person I am I start practicing my form without stretching. I messed up sooooo bad on my form! I tripped over the mat at lest 3 times and it was all around terrible.

I think I pretty much blew my chances of having a good testing.

Annnnyyywaaayyysss- I have been in a super crabby mood all day basically because I haven't eaten anything in the last one and a half days. So after I get finished with my math and writing class my mom picks me up and we stopped at Mc Donalds right before we went to my grandparents house. So I am looking at the menu and I'm thinking whats the biggest thing I can think about eating... big mac?

So I got my first big mac! Yay me. I didn't finish it but its the thought that counts.


Wow you know you have nothing going on in your life when you choose to write about huge greasy burgers.

I got nerve

This is a video I've been working about Me, Savannah, Miranda, and Lindsay.

*Sigh* Sunday afternoons

Yep so at church today there was this animal guy- he brought in a little ape and some other ones too. Oh! Savannah gave me this hunormus pencil and at science class there this person that sits in by me and they always fling there pencil at me so this time I'm going to be like "You sad confused child" and fling it at them- I'm strangly excited about this.
Hmm, what else? I'm writing a book. It's based on people from tkd but the characters are a little different.

Bleh! I hate sunday afternoons because there is nothing to do. I'm waiting for it to be 4 because then I will get ready for church which will give me somthing to do for about 15 minutes. I think we might be having overflow unplugged or something like that. I have a strange urge to play flag football. They used to do that at our church but I remember one time when I was trying to help my team I blocked someone on my team from getting a touchdown or whatever you call it. I think I'm ganna go surf around on youtube now.

My life- again

So last night I went over to my friends house. It was so much fun! We spent half of hour time on the computer and the other half making movies (we got jeremy in a wig and yellow sweater!)
My sister and Jen also went camping yesterday... I'm sure they enjoyed the rain! I hate thunderstorms!!! It's not even the lightning its the really loud thunder that shakes my house.
Hmm, Oh yeah, I never really wrote about belt testing.

Well...

It was way better than purple! I think blue was a way easier belt than purple. We had to test in front of all the black belts. On our form Mrs. Stancil gave everyone a sheet so they could each judge someone and I think I got Mrs. Stancil. I cannot wait for brown (if I passed) this is the first belt testing that we've had in a long time were we don't have to wait over a long break like christmas all we have to do is wait through a Wednesday. I'm worried about our awards ceremony since we haven't had that long to practice. This award ceremony we have to do both purple and blue belt to music. I really don't want to do purple because I know I'm going to screw it up. I absolutely LOOVVVEE the blue belt form though. Blue and green are my favorites...

I can't think of anything else to write about so...

Our Form

Savannahs form

Annas semi form

hmmmm

So I had belt testing today. It went- ok. I kept on messing up on the cresent kicks and some of the forms. Blogger is being a pain today and wont let me upload my videos but my mom took videos of me savannah and Anna. Unfortunatly she didn't know how to use the camera so I only got the last couple moves of annas form. Anyways, after testing I get super tired and just want to lie down and watch hours of TV. I couldn't do that today because we had company over. Jen's family came and she has to little neices ones is 4 and one is 6. It was my job to entertain them while everyone watched monk. These little kids thought it would be more fun knotting up my hair than watching hours of tv. They were really cute though- the 4 year old was in love with my dogs. Especially cinders who I think got a little creeped out.

Belt testing D8

So it just hit me that belt testing is this Thursday. It seriously didn't register- I was thinking about my stretching and then I realised it this Thursday and now I'm freaking out! So- Now I am practicing like mad. Somehow I always manage to forget my terminologys even though I dont think I got any new ones this belt...
Hmm- I'm seriously bored and I should try to clean my room. Its a mess- clothes everywhere and I have this bowl of cereal that I never took downstairs. I'm so lazy!
Oh! My meizu came... I'm a little disappointed becaue the videos have to be in avi and the software doesn't install right on windows vista. Everything else is great though.
It's been a pretty busy weekend though- I went to my parents sunday school party. They had this trampoleen (however you spell it.) I guess it was pretty old because it was supper bouncy. I actually freaked out when I jumped and went so high- wow i feel like such a dork writing about trampoleens but whatever.
I also went to Savannahs house on friday. Her cat just on kittens and they are soooo cute! I think jewl is the best- she's a calico cat. (I love that word!) Yep, it was funny cuz I went there around 4 and then later we savannah invited miranda and lindsay and we were thinking they wouldn't be able to come but both of them did and thats always fun.

I think thats all thats happend over the weekends- yep.

No title today

Well since Im a homeschooler and I dont really get a spring break- well i do but different classes at different times. Anyways, today is the one day when I dont have any school! It's been completely... boring. Well, I am having fun but its the same stuff I do when Im done with school which I would be by now anyways. Basically I've just been surfing around the internet- fun?

I'm looking forward to tonight were we learn "not to walk on grass." Actually its visitation training at my church. I like doing visitation- I'm not good at it but I like it. Its wierd- Im not shy- most of the time and I like to talk so I thought that visitation training would be really easy. But its not. I remember doing it at Dnow- I kept on stuttering and my friend had to step in and help. Still-

So... what to talk about??? Ho hum. Well I guess Im out of posts.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone. Hope you had a good one! I did, my grandparents came over for this huge dinner that my mom cooked! Oh! And I ordered a meizu miniplayer! Its like an ipod nano but it doesn't need itunes (yes!) I got it on clearance at target and its going to take forever to get here but I can wait.

So I'm on break for Easter and I'm really bored! I have nothing to do when I don't have school- my mom will probably try to make me clean my room... Arrggghhh its like I have bloggers block I have nothing to write about. La la- belt testing is coming up (I think I said that already-) I'm testing for my brown belt. For some reason I'm not freaking out yet. I'm kinda nervous about the purple belt stuff- I think blue belt was easier and for some reason I just screw up on the purple belt form.
I really have nothing to do or talk about- today I got so bored that I organized my picture folder. I feel boring so I guess this is the end of the post.

Hello

So it was my birthday on monday and me and savannah made a video from the other video called irritating. Anyways my birthday was super fun and so was the tournament. You'd think I'd have more to talk about but I cant think of anything.

hmmm....

Well today at youth group we called everyone that ever visited our church and so everyone pulls out thier cell phones and im like- yeah I dont have one. Anyways we just borrowed other peoples. So 2 people we called didn't answer one person goes to a different church and one person got a busy single but they called back and we couldn't tell who it was so I was like "I'm from richland creek." and the guy was like "Ok then bye!" And I was like... bye.

Yeah so that was youth group. Today at math class we were reviewing for that big test we have coming up and I started freaking out because I forgot how to do some of the problems and so I guess I'll be doing alot of studying over easter break.

Happy birthday to me!!!

I am 3 hours away from being 13!!! Yay- plus before I go to savannahs house I get to go to ihop with my mom, I've never been there before so im looking forward to that. Anyways youd think with such a busy weekend that i'd have more to write about- but I dont. Actually I want to sleep more then anything else. I havent had a full six hours of sleep since thurday, and I usually need 9 hours to keep from falling asleep during school. So I think I'll go to bed early but anyways thats all. (I felt guilty for not putting anything up.)

Tournament Results!

So everyone did a super good job this year- I got two first place trophies and savannah got one too. My bffk got 2 second place trophies (she did a great job) And Lindsay got a 3rd! William got a first and second place trophy (I think) Anna got a second place Logan got 2 firsts I think but I'm not sure Jacob got a first and third Kelly got two firsts Jason- im not sure (it's been a long day and i cant remember anything D: ) I think he got a second and third nathan got 2 firsts i think. Steven got 2 firsts and a second dakota got a first and second kristen got a second and third I think, Jeremy got 2 seconds i think.

Anyways its been a very long day so I dont remember what everyone got but I'll remember when we take pictures on tuesday.

Butterflies

Well I am suprisingly not as nervous as I was before but I still got some butterflies. I just kinda want to get it over with. It turns out my grandparents cant come over on my birthday but I get to go to Savannahs house. Celebrating my birthday was pushed back to easter (when my grandparents will be there) which I dont mind- it stretches out my birthday. Anyways I am going to take lots of pictures and videos of the tournament. I hope everyone does well. :D and now I am going to attempt to fall asleep- attempt.

Last day of sparring

Ok well the tournament is this saturday and I am freaking out! I'm more nervous about the sparring even though I really need to practice. I don't think I'm going to do that well in sparring (or forms) Plus testing is at the beginning of april.


This week isn't the best week for a tournament. First I have EOG's- I always have it really early because the lady that gives the test is really busy. I always blank out on it and do terrible on the spelling/reading part. Then I have the tournament which is making me super nervous. Then its my birthday! That will be fun but I don't think we are going to do that much for it. It's on a school day -ugh- which means that no friends will be able to come over. However I will be able to have a birthday dinner including my grandparents and maybe my uncle. Thats good because I haven't seen them since forever.


But anyways, today was the last day that we could practice sparring. Mr. Jason always comes on tuesday and since this was the last tuesday that means thats all the practice I'm going to get. So now I'm just concentrating on forms. I need to take my mind of this.


Bo staff class went well. I actually got the stuff right. It's the first class that I didn't get fustrated. Alot of the stuff we learn in bo staff confuses me but I like it.
Ok well thats my rant for the day.

Cletus Take the Reel

Ok, this was just to funny.









And someone emailed me telling me about there ummm, whats the word for it- buisness/blog/slideshow place. Anyways I looked at it and found this...

My bffk's blog

http://www.randawho.blogspot.com/

she wants people to read it (not that a lot of people read this blog but whatever)

ok, just so you know.

Bad Day

Here ya go.

Alvin and the chipmunks

So Miranda and Lindsay spent the night at my house and we pretty much spent every second impersonating Alvin and the chipmunks. Its being a pain right now and won't let me put a video up so I'll just put a picture up for now.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

A little while ago someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I kind of dismissed it but after thinking about it, it stuck on my mind. I think I would like to be a journalist or a writer, I like to write. But then again I dont like having to write things a certain way and having abunch of limitations. So being a journalist might not work out that well. I also think it would be fun to be a movie editor person (if thats what you call them) I love editing videos that my friends make- that would be fun. I dont know what you would call them or even if they exist because I dont really know how editing for a movie goes.
So what do you want to be when you grow up?

Tournament

First off I think I spelled that wrong. Ok anyways I was thinking about and our TKD tournament is in- 12 days. Which means my birthday is in 14! Turns out that my party is getting pushed back to april... oh well.

So anyways, I just started to get nervous about my form. Last year I didn't think I would get a trophy and I got first place but now I want to get first place again but then I feel like I'm not good enough and I'm being to proud. Then I think that I will probably get last place and that makes me worried and I tell myself that I wont get last place and that makes me feel proud all over again. Basically I dont want to get my hopes up but I still really want to get a good score.
I really hope that I dont have to compete against someone else from our tkd because they have the same really good form that i do and they do it better then i do. Wow after writing all this I feel even more worried! I don't remember being this worried last year!

So today I didnt have writing class after math but I had to stay at the book store anyways because my mom couldn't pick me up. I felt kinda bad because my teacher called me right as my ride got there and I kind of rushed her off the phone. I have nothing to do right now- maybe I'll go work on that squirrel documentary.

Uhh...

Yeah so Savannah slept over last night *yay* that was fun (no it was terrible I hated it. jk) We stayed up till like 3 in the morning and then i asked her if I could sleep for 15 minutes and well... that didn't happen. Today I am going to a cook out at my brothers friends house- I'm not sure if there will be anyone there to hang out with. I might bring a book but bringing a book to someones house always felt rude to me. It someone brought a book to my house I wouldn't care though (unless they were reading while we were doing something.)
Me Miranda Lindsay and Anna made a murder mystery thing. I got to kill them (my mom was so proud) It was fun- a little weird. And now everyone had seen the craizieness lessons so I no longer feel the need to embarrass myself by putting it up. But I will but up the murder one.

just a thought

only 20 minutes till 10 o'clock. It's amazing how long a minute is. When someone says "give me two minutes" that could be 120 seconds or 240 miliseconds and if your doing mississippi seconds then thats two extra normal second to every mississippi second. So 120 mississippi second is really 360 seconds which is really six minutes. So as you can see 2 minutes can turn into 6 minutes. For example if your playing hide and seek with 60 mississippi seconds gives everyone 3 minutes to run to the nearest bush and duck. Now really you only need 30 normal seconds for that but 30 mississippi seconds is 90 real seconds which is only 10 mississippi seconds away from 2 minutes. See how that works????

300 views

This is the 300th time someone has viewed my blog- sweet. I am devoting today to doing nothing (I do this alot) that requires enrgy.... it feels like I'm sick because everyone else is sick and when your the only one not sick you eventually get sick because your taking care of people who are sick. Then those people take care of you when your sick and then they ger sick and so on and so on... and the cicrcle doesn't stop until some selfish person doesn't take care of the sick person so when the sick person gets better nobody is sick- like i said it feels like i'm sick.

ticrk or terat- i'm tyrnig taht eimal tinhg. Cna yuo raed tihs?

People just won't give you a basketball even when you say please

So church was good, we learned about the sabbath and about influencing people and not being influenced. It was fun. Then afterwards everyone has 15-30 minutes to hangout. So when I was in sixth grade we used to play basketball all the time then we (me and my friends) just stopped playing for some reason. I decided that tonight I would play basketball.

Do you know how hard it is???


There must have been 25 people around that hoop and there were only 3 balls. Our church hosts upwards.. they have 50+ balls and someone only took out three? Ok fine so we just grab a ball when someone looses it. These guys are tall and and very... aggressive. I think I almost got run over twice! So finally my friends Rachel gets bored of watching me fail and she goes up to a kid and asks for a ball. Here's how the conversation went:


"can i have a ball."
"no"
"i need it"
"no"
"Stephanie needs it"
"no"
"shes going to die"
"no"
"please"
"no"
etc.


It was very amusing. Then that same person decided to taunt me because that was amusing and then they lost the ball and I got it... hahahahahahaha.


After I finally got the ball I realised why we stopped playing- I stink. So I dropped it on the floor and watched people tackle each other for it.



Then Will was playing frisbee and i don't know why but every time he's playing frisbee and I'm around he'll smack me on the head. So in the general spirit of *self defense* We spent the rest of the time trying to get the frisbee and smack Will on the head with it. We didn't succeed but it was entertaining....

all in all it was a fun night.

Monk

The monk was sooooooo good!!!!! I was hoping they wouldn't leave it at a cliff hanger but they did, not a big one. I think the next season is the last one. This season was really good though. The episode was amazing.... I don't know why I felt like writing about the tv show but I was talking about it so. Yeah I know I'm going to have some messed up dream about it now.

Me and zoey

So last sunday my friend Akira came over and we were playing around with my dog (zoey) Then while we were watching her she dug her nose under a hat on the floor... It was really cute and we put the hat on her and took some pictures....








After awhile she wouldn't stay still so I put the hat on and took pictures... poor zoey



I don't why I posted that I just felt like I needed to put more pictures up.... i can't wait for monk!!!

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time there was a ugly evil squirrel, the ugly evil squirrel was both ugly and evil. Then four girls squirted the squirrel with squirrel-be-gone and the squirrel died.



THE END


Support the anti squirrels







I am soooooo bored....

Bleh

I feel like a slug. I have nothing to do today so I've been lying around watching TV. That wasn't very fun considering theres nothing to watch. At least theres a new monk on tonight... I'm looking forward to that.

Yesturday was fun. TKD went pretty well. We are still doing training for our forms. I like our forms but I don't like the brown belt bo staff form, well i like it but it's to much to remember. I think I might just do sparring even though I'll get beat up.

Then I went over to Miranda's house with lindsay and savannah. That was alot of fun. I missed seeing my friends. (for the completely long and devastating week I was sick.)

But thats pretty much whats been happening in my life for the past day.... great now I'm bored again.

I'm attempting to put a video up...

The last couple of times I've tried to put up a video it didn't work so I'm trying one last time before I find a place that will give me a code for my videoss.

Cross your fingers...

First up, me and miranda were bored so we made a video of us dancing to best of both worlds Miranda is supposed to be Miley and I'm hannah.

school for the gifted

Self explanatory.


It's been a long day-I'm sick so I googled some cartoons and i liked it- pretty much how I'm feeling today....

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (again)

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes and.... yes!

I finally got my internet back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am soooooooooooooooo happy.

This means that all those videos will be up soon. Anyways, I would put them up now except I'm about to leave to the "Amazing Race" (Grace? I've heard it both ways) So we think we are going to have a twister game thing... idk i've never been to one of these. It's a thing at our church and everyone goes and does something... sounds like fun, no?

Anyways I am so very very very very very very very very very very very happy. It's just a happy day.

^_^



To make someone happy I'm putting abunch of funny videos up.












Try to watch the next video without smiling, i couldn't do it can you?












Not happy yet???? That stinks.
