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.
