What a crazy life it is right now, but i sure as heck wouldn't trade it for the world... maybe for a car of my own though... HA!. Right. But nahh.. i'm so jittery right now. In a few minutes i'm going to Rexburg(on my own!!) to go Birthday shopping for one of my close friends who is turning 16 tomorrow! My friend/cuz Cindy gets to come with me and help me pick something out for her.. I've been thinking about getting her a Bonanza DVD pack. But i have to be able to find her one!! She is so silly and obsessed with Bonanza that its adorable. haha. Four of my other friends are going to meet up at one of our friends' houses, then go to Her house and "wake her up" at 7 in the morning and take her out to breakfast! Wooot woooot! lol. Exciting, eh?

White... and ME!

2008-02-15T13:14:00.004-07:00

Congratulations. You are WHITE.

WHITES are motivated by PEACE. They seek independence and require kindness. They resist confrontation at all costs. To them, feeling good is more important than being good. They are typically quiet by nature, process things very deeply and objectively with great clarity. Of all the colors, WHITES are the best listeners. They respect people who are direct but recoil from perceived hostility or verbal battle.

WHITES need their "alone time" and refuse to be controlled by others. WHITES want to do things their own way and in their own time. They ask little of others and resent others demanding much of them. WHITES are much stronger than people think, but are not often seen for their strength because they don't easily reveal their feelings. WHITES are even-tempered, diplomatic, and the voice of reason; but can also be indecisive, unexpressive, and silently stubborn. When others interact with you, as a WHITE you respond to them best if they are kind, accepting and supporting of your individuality, and if they look for non-verbal clues to understand your feelings.

Understand that no two WHITES are exactly alike. Although you share the same core motivation as many others, your personality is still unique to you alone.

So if you are reading this, and are interested in YOUR color whether it be Blue, Red, Yellow, Or White... take the quiz and The Color Code

In Memorium of Heath Ledger...

2008-01-25T10:36:00.000-07:00

I'd like to say some things about him. I wish i could've known him, just like any actor (Pretty much) because he is such a great actor that would choose his roles that would be better than doing tons and tons of them. He is also, quite goooooooood lookin! haha. Anyways, i am pretty upset about his death. I do believe that it was an accident, and that it wasn't intentional. Yes, there was a $20 bill by his bed, and i do know what they use them for, but i don't believe he was that way. Oh boy! Quite a lot of trust in someone i never met! (eeek!) But i am truly shocked and sorrowful. Seriously. When i found out, from my mom, i was in total shock. Then i got a Text message from my friend Abbee, and she was all but in histerics. Poor Girl. Hah, In my 3rd hour class(Seminary) Stephen, who sits in front of me, wanted to have a class in Memorium of Heath Ledger. What a funny kid! Seniors are pretty cool kids.

So, in conclusion, God Bless your family, Heath, and may you rest in peace!

:'( I think i'm going to go watch The Brothers Grimm.

My Paper is done. So Here it is:

Stress: Everything you wanted to know...(and then some)

Stress can cause many problems that affect daily life by causing headaches, irritability, sickness, and insomnia. Maybe sometimes you’ve felt stress is like when giving a presentation at school or work, problems with family members, deadlines, and so forth. Your heart can feel like it is racing faster and faster. Stress can come from many sources in life, and affect people in many ways. There is always a way that you can tell if someone is stressing out because there is some signs. Many places like the internet, books, friends, etc, are designed to help people that have become overly stressed and are depressed or have other problems. Below are the symptoms and how to understand stress, some of the effects, steps on how to deal with everything, be able to manage stress and how it will help you.
Stress has many symptoms that can be identified fairly well, but to be able to identify it you must be able to understand stress and what causes it. Stress is “a psychological and physiological response to events that upset our personal balance in some way. When faced with a threat, whether to our physical safety or emotional equilibrium, the body's defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the ‘fight-or-flight’ response. (1)” This is a good summary of what the overall definition of stress is. But we must dig deeper to get to know what causes stress. For each person it is going to be different, and will affect them in different ways. For a teenager who has a lot one his/her plate, they might take it well or not. It really depends on how well the person can cope with it. Stress is always good to a certain point because it can push you to do better. In life we have stressors that force us to adjust. Many people look at it negatively, but it can be a good thing, too. Many daily stressors can be your environment, family, work or school, or you’re social situation. There is also stress that can form just from you. You may worry a lot about something, or be pessimistic. You also can criticize yourself, have unrealistic expectations for yourself, and try to be a perfectionist, have a low self-esteem for yourself, or have excessive or unexpressed anger. All of these can cause problems. But if there are a lot of them all at once, then you can simply have a system overload. You can’t keep up with it all, and you just get overwhelmed. In the end, you must be aware of what is going on in your life and be able to tell what is troubling you, and how to control it.
Once you have understood what is causing your stress, you need to know what can happen. Recent research suggests that 60-90 percent of sicknesses are stress-induced. Stress can harm your cardiovascular system and immune system, causing you to get sick. Many things that can affect your health is Chronic Pain, Migraines, Ulcers, Heartburn, High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Asthma, PMS, Obesity, Infertility, Autoimmune Diseases, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and skin problems. That’s quite a lot of stuff to worry about, so knowing what can happen is important to know so you can prevent it. For emotional stress you can become depressed, anxiety, using drugs and alcohol, and eating disorders. In more serious cases such as the Post-Trauma Stress Disorder (PTSD), experiences where sudden, terrible things happen like disasters, assaults, accidents, or war. After it happens, people usually start to recover, but when they don’t they get PTSD. Some of the results of PTSD are Flashbacks, avoiding places, Hyper vigilance (Like a driver recently in a wreck becoming so focused on the road they don’t acknowledge a passenger), tension and irritability, and depression. If someone has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, they need to get professional help. Knowing the effects of stress is an eye-opener that should make people realize how serious stress is and that it can get bad enough they should seek professional assistance.
Next, learning to deal with all the stress and side effects of it can be hard, but if you learn now it will be easier when the going gets tough. On a helpful site, Helpguide.org, they have put together 4 steps on how to manage your stress. Step one: Avoid Unnecessary Stress. If someone asks you to be in charge of something and you are already stressing out about something else, just say ‘no’. Take no more than you can handle. If there is someone that just drives you up the wall, ignore them! If someone is causing you a lot of stress, limit the time you have to deal with them or just end it. If there is a topic such as vehicles, politics or religion that get you fired up, politely excuse yourself. If it’s something that is repeatedly brought up in conversation, politely excuse yourself. Step Two: Alter the Situation. When something is bothering you, express what is bugging you. If a person or place is driving you absolutely mad, talk about it. If you don’t express yourself now, it will bottle up and get worse. Manage your time better; if you are running behind constantly you are going to be so stressed out because you’re not on time. Plan ahead so that you’ll have enough time to stop and smell the roses on the way to wherever you’re going. Step Three: Accept the things you can’t change. Many things are uncontrollable, like somebody’s attitude. You can’t change them, so just work on how you react to them. As the saying “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger” says, look at challenges as an opportunity to grow. Look for the good side in any type of situation. Step Four: Adapt to the stressor. Will the problem be such a big deal in a week, month, or year? If it’s not worth getting upset over, then don’t! Don’t expect yourself to do perfect on every single thing. Avoiding perfectionism will make it so that you won’t have so much stress in your life. Make lengths that you can make reasonably and don’t set yourself up for stress. Be okay with what you can achieve. In the end, if you can listen and heed the council of the above steps, your life can change. A main point that was in a lot of the steps was to only bite off as much as you can chew.
Finally, ways to manage stress are innumerable. There are ways from Working out, taking a bath, listening to music, curling up and reading a book, spending time in nature, talking with a friend, and so on. Some ways are easier than others, and a technique that you can do solely on your own is learning to breathe deep and meditating, per se. What you must do is be in a comfortable position and close your eyes and try to relax. You pay attention to your beating, your chest and abdomen. Feel it more up and down, slowly, slowly, until you are completely using your lungs. Breathe through your nose, and see if your chest is moving in time with your abdomen. Inhale deeply, feeling the bottom of your lungs to the top slowly but still focusing on your breathing. Exhale through your mouth and focus on the sounds and feelings of your breaths. This exercise is to notice how you breathe and for you to notice how much lung space you have. Another exercise is a Complete Natural Breathing, which utilizes how much lung space you have and how to use it. You sit or stand with GOOD posture, breathing through your nose. Then you inhale and fill the bottom of the lung, then middle of the lung, then top of the lungs. You hold your breath for a few seconds. Then while you exhaling, relax your chest and abdomen. This method relaxes you really fast if you can concentrate on it. It will help you calm yourself down. You can do this practically anywhere, even if it is loud and busy. By doing something about the pressure on you, you will be healthier, feel better emotionally, and so much more!
In conclusion, stress in the daily life can be quite the hassle. So why not take some time out of your hectic day, and do something about it. Make a plan of what you can do to solve your problems, and how to cope with everything instead of letting it all catch up to you at once. Finding something is wrong, knowing what to do about it, how to do it, and actually doing something about it will help you have a much easier going life. Don’t sweat the small stuff, it’s all small stuff, and if you can’t fight or flee, flow. In the words of Louisa May Alcott, “Keep your sense of humor. There's enough stress in the rest of your life to let bad shots ruin a game you're supposed to enjoy.”

So tonight...

2008-01-10T21:02:00.000-07:00

Was a Boys Basketball Game agains Bonneville Bees. Yes, the bees. I was very excited to go, but just my luck. My friend cindy couldn't go, her mom was making her do something else. And Aleisha was going with a friend. So if she was going with friends, what does that make me? Right. The impasse who has nobody to go to the game with. Lozer! Exactly.

So i called some other friends, and what would you know. I can't get ahold of them. What the crap! ya know?!? Then to make it alllll better... Ha. I get stuck at home, with the parents. No offence mom, but i need to get out and DO stuff! I'm just tired of sitting around and doing nothing! Kendall and Christy showed up a few minutes ago(okay about half an hour ago) and now they're leaving. What was the point of coming? Unless they were at her parents house. that makes sense then.

.....So yet again, its a Ugly Betty Night, chillin with the parentals......

Cindy, Aleisha, and i went sledding yesterday. We went to the little buttes, and cindy ran right into a tree. She bruised her knees. Then, The day before, Aleisha went snowboarding and fell on her butt and hurt it pretty bad. Then a few minutes later, i came down the steep spot, and i was doing really good. Then i hit this dip, and i felt my back crunch. I think it might've Compressed it. But now i got it to pop earlier, but now my muscles are really sore.

.....The library at school. I'm in health class, supposed to be doing my research project. I'm actually doing it based on my dad's allergy, Chronic Cold Urticaria. It is a allergy which makes you break out in hives and all sorts of things can happen. I'm actually also researching other types of Urticaria to see if it is more like the symptoms and things that have happened to my dad. If there's a will, theres a way.

Well i got to go, i really need to get to work on this. HAHA!

Hasta La Vista, baby!! lol

Wowza. What a...

2007-12-17T15:52:00.000-07:00

Hecktic day. Very interesting.

To Start it all off, lemme tell you all that happened. There was a wreck, a false fire alarm, and a seizure. Thats already catching your attention, right? Add a lunch lady thats got it out for me, and your ready for a fiesta!

So to go in order, i'll tell you about the wreck. There was one car that stopped suddenly, and got tapped by a pickup from behind. Little damage, just a bumper-bumper thing. No biggie, eh? So theres a red car stopped behind them, then out of the blue, this girl comes roaring up and hits them! She hit the red car, totalled it, pushed it out of the way, and hit the pickup! NUTS! I knew all the people involved (Mostly) and they are.... haha. you thought it would tell you who it was! BAHA. SO yes, that was a fiasco. The fire dept. and the police were there, then they had to split up and do double time!

Next we come to the false fire alarm. This girl was playing with the whole fire alarm boxy/thingy and just accidentally pulled it. And she is just NOT the type of person that would pull it, even if she was told to or forced to. Shes a really good girl. wellllll mostly good. O_o. lol. So we stand out in the freezing cold for 20 Flipping Minutes! AHODSWFJHKP:{IOKASDJFHNCIHUJK:EDSNCHF:EANWSlo;idfjnaesdaojfdasdijf[9AJWEFdsAj!!!!!! Yes. COLD! and i had just put my coat in my locker and was going to class! COLD!!!!

Then, this girl, at lunch, started crying and shaking and all, and her boyfriend grabbed her by her arms and laid her down. She had a seizure. Apparently she had one about a week ago. Quick thinking! Man, were can we find more guys like that?!?!?

.... Ready for more?? I thought so. Me and Rayell get in the lunch line and we were having burritos(Spelled right?? hehe) and animal crackers and french fries. So there were 2 ladies serving fries, one had nice, crunchy, all the way cooked ones, and the other had soggy, undercooked, disgusting fries. Guess who slapped their fries on my stinking plate? The nasty ones. Just last week she gave me the usual under-cooked tater wedges/jo jo potatos instead of the crunchy, yummy fries. Shes got it out for me!!!! AHhhh!!!!

SO yea. Theres another thing we're doing tonight, but i'll just have to write about it later. My fingers are hurting from all the detail and i need to get my Trigonometry Homework done. Good thing its only a review, short and sweet, and easy!!!

Anyways. Now that i've gotten that out of my system.

Today was an overall okay day. I really don't know what to say? I have to go get my homework done, so i'll post later

My Essay

2007-12-13T14:25:00.000-07:00

So i had to have a way to get my essay home so i could finish it... and all the emails are blocked. So eya. I had this brilliant idea to post it on my blog! So here goes!:

Tough vs. Weak
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a ford. This is thus my main goal in life to accomplish. Ford is the top dog of the brand name vehicle chain, the big Kahuna. There are many reasons why ford rock, but the overall best reason why, is because I like them. Scratch that, I love them. They have gotten many people through messes that others would think impossible.

In my extensive experience of vehicles, I have reached a conclusion of the overall performance of them. In the case of ford, I have been greatly pleased, and rewarded. Quite some time ago, my family was at a family reunion in the early part of August. We were just leaving, when, my sister and her husband’s truck broke down. We were pulling our 29’ Travel Trailer, their pickup, and their 30’ travel trailer. We pulled them over Pine Creek Pass, all the way home. Now how many other vehicles can you say have done that? That is quite a feat. When we got to the base of the pass, we came across an officer who waved us by, and as we passed him, he was just shaking his head in disbelief. This pickup of ours has lasted us 7 great years, hasn’t had many problems. Ford has done us well, and continues to be a favorite vehicle in our family. My Brother has a jacked up ford, which, if you have cruised 17th street lately, you might have seen him. My Sister and her husband also have 2 fords, and use them like none other. They have lasted through thick and thin, running against immeasurable odds. This is just a familiar example that my family can attest to, and is highly proud of.

Earlier this day, I have taken a poll between the two rivalries, and have asked the favorite- Ford, or Chevy? In getting to know what each individual person thought was the better vehicle, I realized something. If I applied my recordings to the population, would it be near accurate? So I did some research and came to a website where only 44 people had voted. But nonetheless, this is what I got: 19 people voted for ford (43.18%) and 25 people voted for chevy (56.82%). This was not a surprise to me, whereas the site was created by a chevy man himself. So I couldn’t really trust the site I found. My recordings for my class of 21 people, swayed in favor of the ford vehicle. The ford fanatics, such as myself, were to a total of 12 people, and the chevy diehards accomplished themselves to 2nd place, with only 9 votes. This is a feat hardly worth defending.

I do, in fact, realize that there are many advantages to having a chevy truck. It has an overall smooth ride, good gas mileage (not the diesel trucks, though), and, is a good city truck. But, on the down side, it is always being replaced by so-called better vehicles annually by its own company, and has no torch whatsoever. Ford has the experience in being a tough, heavy duty truck that can do anything the driver wants. I mean, if a company has a logo saying “Built Ford Tough,” it’d have to be great. What kind of name is “Like a Rock”? Do you mean it just sits there, useless, or that it looks bad? You can pull up to 10,050 lbs. with just the smaller end fords (f-150). The larger the truck, the larger the towing capacity.

Ford has an overall great pickup that can accomplish anything the driver wished it to. Plus, they have some pretty snazzy looking cars out right now including the 2007 Shelby GT500 and the 2007 Mustang GT. Also, as of recent, seven of their ford vehicles have SYNC in them, which allows them to hear your voice and call or play requested music. They are the future, they’re innovative, are good looking, and have the power to, in Larry the Cable Guys’ words “Git-R-Done!”

Well thats it. Like it at all?

Okay. I'm a happy texter. Yes. So's my friend.

Soo where have they been for the past two days!?!?!?!

I'm dying here! Checking my phone every 10 Minutes, i sent a txt to aleisha and she hasn't replyed yet. Dorkoooo! lol. just kidding!

Plus, dearest rayell is sick. she threw up after lunch friday. When she didn't show up to 5th hour(english) I texted her to see where she was, and she told me she went home because she threw up in 4th hour. Poor girl. So i really can't talk to her, cuz she isn't feeling good.

Then there's mace. I really don't know what to say to him? Maybe i'll talk to him at the game Tuesday. i'm actually talking to him right now, and hes going to paint his face in the school colors, Maroon and Gold. Haha. shweet! So he just moved here this year from Madison(Rigby's MAJOR Rival) and hes supporting our school. he says he lives here, so he's gonna support the here and now. Hes so cool. Great guy!

Haha. Heres my quote of the day:

If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.

Ever wonder how different a mother and daughter can be??? Here is the proof:

http://christine-mycorner.blogspot.com/

Want to see what a mother does to me!!! lol. I bet her that i'd get more posts than her, and it will be tough. But it can be done. If there's a will, theres a way

What has she done to meee!!?!?!?

Wow

2007-12-08T15:31:00.000-07:00

I Guess this will be harder than anything! I will explain what happened last night.

I got home from school, joy! Haha. I got to school at 7:30 to decorate one of my friends' lockers because today is her 16th Birthday!!! so i was tired to begin with! I came home, played on the computer for awhile then went to my room to watch a movie. I watched about the first half hour of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and fell asleep. Then i woke up at about 6:30, we ran into the store to get a drink for dinner, at dinner, then iwent to bed! What a night! so sorry i wasn't on, and haven't kept my word so far....hehhe.

Today dad and i went to town to go xmas shopping for my mom. Ya right! He wouldn't let me drive. I got to drive there on the highway, and i got to drive home, but not through town. :[[. I wish they could trust me more.

But i guess shopping for mom is alot harder than people think it is. Its terrible. I mean, what do we get that she doesn't already have!?!? haha. True for me too, i guess. But thats my day!

Competition!

2007-12-06T20:44:00.000-07:00

Okay. So i'm soooo not the competitive person. (Yah right!). I got to visiting my mom's blog, and decided that i should get more posts than her! muahahhaha. So i have made a deal with myself, that if i post daily for the month(With maybe a few exceptions, Christmas!!!) I Will try hard, and if i do good i'll go shopping! lol. Great day!

Try this lotion: Japanese Cherry Blossom, by Bath and Body Works.

I love this lotion!!!

Three Days Grace

2007-12-03T19:18:00.000-07:00

So there is a guy i talk to quite a bit, Mace, and his favorite band is Three Days Grace. Okay? So i checked them out because i have one of their songs i have liked for almost 2 years. So yea... i'm addicted to them!

"Animal I've Become"

"Never Too Late"

^^^ "Pain"

"Home"

These are the better ones. I think i rank them in the order they're in. Top is my fav and so on. Although there is a tie for 1. Its between Animal I've Become and Never Too Late. I don't know. I like them all. ??? TO many choices!!!

Isn't this the truth!

2007-12-01T10:21:00.000-07:00

Isn't this the truth?

Casey Calvert RIP from Hawthorne Heights

2007-11-26T17:33:00.000-07:00

Casey from Hawthorne Heights died the other night. May the band and his family be able to grieve, and he is in a better place!!!:

"Today is probably the worst day ever. Its with our deepest regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before sound-check. We've spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we're not sure what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don't contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don't want his memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know.

Sincerely,

Hawthorne Heights

Eron, JT, Micah and Matt"

My Thanksgiving Week

2007-11-26T16:30:00.000-07:00

So i had a whole week off of school(yay) and was rebellious and didn't post anything. I know i know. shame shame! Oh well. So here is my week:
MONDAY:
Went to the Paramount with Aleisha(best friend) and Cindy. Watched Stardust(5STARS!!!) then we went to the mall and shopped our hearts out. Haha. We went to Wet Seal, Aeropostal, Claires, Buckle, Vanity, Victoria Secret(haha. Just looked at lipgloss!) and i think thats all. At Aero i bought a smexy Blue, white, green and grey jacket thats b-e-a-utiful! Then we went to Rays food place(Used to be A&W)

TUESDAY:
Went to the mall AGAIN with my mom, and bought some clothes for my nieces and nephews, and i bought a maroon shirt!! Love it.(actually am wearing as we type) haha.

WEDNESDAY:
nothing that comes to mind...

THURSDAY:
ohhhh ho ho ho hoooo. FYI it was Thanksgiving DAY. woke up, helped a little bit in the kitchen, watched tv, read, ATE, chatted with family, ATE MORE, haha and thats about it.

FRIDAY:
Went Christmas Tree Huntin'! We went to Green Canyon, and there, at most, was 5-6 Inches of snow. At most places is was one or two inches. Wow! We got a Beautiful tree though!

SATURDAY:
ran errands

SUNDAY:
slept and at and such

Monday: SCHOOL!!! YAy.

I really do love school break, but boy was i glad to be back! I have some fun classes, and this Trimester/Semester is going to be great!!! I really think it will be easy to do. :D. Love 1st hour(Web Page Design) For MANY reasons, which are not Blogger Worthy! hahaha.

CMA Awards

2007-11-07T19:30:00.000-07:00

Okay, so my whole family(with a few exceptions, ME!) is all Country Music addicts. Right? Enough said. NOT ME!!!! I'm the Escape the Fate, My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, etc. So mostly Alternative Rock to Full out Rock. Yea yea! (Come one, you'd have to be mental to NOT like them, or LOVE them! or maybe thats my problem and i'm the mental one???) HA. Right. Like THAT's true! SO right now i'm listening to my quad-band-playlist(Refer to the bands above) and they are really awe inspiring. I have given up my dedication to my local station, Z 103.3(hiphop, rapcrap((Sorry if that offends!)) and such on) And all i listen to 24/7 is my Microsoft Zune. Yes, Microsoft rocks! :D I really think we should be able to listen to our MP3 players in school because i really do do better with my work if i've got a beat to do it to! My mom's the same way, but she's got more of a soothing, calming idea of music in mind(Haha!) and mine's GUITARS and DRUMS, and the occaisional scream mixed inbetween. No i don't like hard metal or screamo. Not my forte. Ba da da DUM!

ANyways. We are almost done with this Trimester, and I'm outta A.P. Biology. That was a BIG mistake! All i've gotten out of that class is some gray hairs and an ugly C+. Yea, Straight A me is struggling this year! But next Tri i've switched OUT of Bio and am in a webpage design class(LOVE COMPUTERS!!!) and then, my School Counsellor is [[Awesome]] and let me get into Speech, which is required and you take it when you're a Junior. BUUUT Mr. M is awesome and let me take it with the juniors. yay! o_O Now lets hope there's handsome and nice guys there! hahaha.

So here i sit, my SkullCandy Headphones in, Listening to my music drain out the blasting surround sound of the CMA Awards. What a way to spend a wednesday night! hmm.. I COULD go make dessert, but im too selfish and don't wanna share it with Kendall! Annoying brothers. Especially when everything in life is a competition to do better than me. And who has shot a deer before him? MEEEE!!! (Inside fam. joke!)

Well i must be going, dinner time! And it's CHILI!! Yummers!

OH! I got to drive to rexburg and back tonight! FUN FUN!!!!!!!

This is some entertainment for ya all: Escape the Fate: Never Good Enough For Truth In Cliches hmm. maybe not. I'll get it on here sooner or later!

Halloween

2007-10-31T16:14:00.000-06:00
Wow. Talk about a sucky blogger! I guess the life of a teenager is hectic, isn't it? So at least i'll have 2 posts for this month. Thats better than none! So tonight i might be going with my bestest friend Aleisha, and my cuz cindy, to the Sugar Factory in town, and its actually called the Fear Factor. ?funny, right? Anyways, as you should know it is halloween, and i should have some pictures up of the night, and you will get to see my AMAZING carved Pumpkins. Well i gotta go! Bye!

Drivers Education

2007-10-05T18:50:00.000-06:00
I had to drive on the interstate while it was raining. Very exciting, it was! Oh i have the most hilarious story to tell. HAHA. Okay, first some background on the drivers i'm driving with. There is Cindy, who's like my 5th cousin, and she lives on a farm and has basically drove standard transmissions since she was 6, then there is Alyssa who has barely started driving over the summer, and hasn't had much experience, unlike me and Cindy. I've drove since i was 12, so I'm doing good, and Cindy is too. But Alyssa has had us praying to stay alive. haha. Poor girl! So today, Cindy drove first, did very well, and then I drove next, did really good too, theeeen it was alyssa's turn.

We were scared to death.

Needless to say, we left some blackmarks behind.

This is so funny, i'm having a hard time spelling cuz i'm laughing my head off. If you would of been there, you'd die laughing too. So funny. We had just pulled of the Interstate and was at a stoplight turning onto a highway, and she stopped and there were vehicles in front and behind us. So she shifted into first, as she was supposed to, and we stopped. The off ramp was also an uphill ordeal, and it was wet and raining. Not too hard, but lightly enough that the windshield wipers were necessary. So we stopped, she changed gears to First, then went when it became a green light. The road was we enough that she peeled out, first spinning tires on the pavement, leaving fresh blackmarks, and then doing about 35 MPH around a corner. Needless to say, we were laughing our heads off, yet gripping the seat. Alyssa has previously told us she likes to go fast, like a drag racer, and does really fast around the corners because its FUN. Thanks for the pre-warn! HA! Then she did it again about a minute later, and had our Instructor rolling in his seat. It was just so funny. welll

Thats my funny story for the day.

Poems

2007-09-23T18:29:00.000-06:00
So over the weekend i've had to do a poetry book for English Composition. One of the poems i found had me rolling on the floor laughing soooooo so hard!!! here it is:

Dads in the Bathroom

Dad's in the bathroom!
Turn on the fan!
Avoid all the vapors
as much as you can!

Mom's stuffing towels
under the door
and hopes that the odor
won't buckle the floor.

She's tried using sprays,
you must understand,
but most of the sprays
just stay in the can.

They know what they're in for.
They don't stand a chance
against air pollution
when dad drops his pants.

He peels lots of paint
from our bathroom walls
and off of the doorway
that leads to the hall.

We've tried putting charcoal
in his evening meal
but still, every morning,
more paint's gonna peel.

Sometimes he's embarrassed,
but I think he's proud.
It's manly to do that,
for crying out loud!

It's something he's good at.
I'm sure he's the best,
and most of his buddies
are very impressed.

by:Albert Van Hoogmoed

This poem is appealing to me because this is every typical male(Note I said TYPICAL). From experience, both my brothers and my dad are like this. I can remember the first time my Nephew used the toilet and… Made a *splash* my brother was the happiest camper here. He called me down to show me and when I saw it I socked him on the shoulder and said “You have got to be the grossest person on earth.” Then I left. My brother is also not a shy person when he uses the restroom, and I can see this as imagery because it brings many pictures to my mind of my non-shy brother.

That is my reply, the paragraph. I love my brother, but man he can curl the hair on an elephant from here to Africa!

My Chemical Romance(MCR)

2007-09-22T09:53:00.000-06:00
Well many of you might know the band MCR(My Chemical Romance) but if you don't, go listen to some teenager. I'm sure they've heard of them, let alone has some of their music. Anyways. MCR is my favorite band, because they write their music with so much... agh..... (too many things to think of and so little brain space!) haha. Enthusiasm and Spunk, but yet there is sorrow in some of them. They are just really easy to relate to.

In life nowadays, it gets busy and hard. But music is a part of me that will always be.

haha. I have to go, i have a drivers ed. drive to go to.

hmmm. BUSY!

2007-08-27T21:51:00.000-06:00
haha. The last time i've sat down to actually breath. finally! Man, school is driving me crazy!!! Its only the 4th day of school, but i feel like i'm overloaded. My mom(hi mom) wants me to take advanced classes, like the ones i'm now taking: A.P.(advanced placement) Biology, Advanced math, and English Composition(pre a.p. class), u.s. history, and finally, Parenting and Child Development. P&C dev. is probably my most relaxing class, that or history. I have to tell you how much i LOVE my history teacher. She is AWESOME. now i won't say names, but i'll call her mrs. w. mmk? so today mrs. w. was talking about experiences in school(elementary) and she was talking about one teacher she had in, i think, kindergarten or something...hmm. Anyways, one day the teacher was in her car, and hit mrs w.! then the surprising part was when mrs. w. was like, i never did like her much, she was too much of a bi***. lol. i love this lady, she is awesome.(plus she really doesn't swear at all, just that once!) she also has only one rule: Don't piss mrs. w. off! and all will be well. then my english teacher, mrs. s. calls her classroom stricklandia! haha. love her too! well i have to go to bed, morning comes early!

2007-07-06T18:46:00.000-06:00

Guess how far we went? 32 miles! Well i'll get some pictures posted of the ride(which, even though it was LONG, it was awesome!) :D

My
Feet
Hurt

Who knew 3 simple words thrust out so much pain and misery? They do. Monday thru Thursday the YW in my ward have been walking to prepare for the Table Rock Hike on July 19-20 of which i don't get to go on. Thank the leader for that one. Anyways, every day we walk a different distance, and in our hiking boots nonetheless. I'll admit that i haven't gone alot..haha.. more like i haven't gone much at ALL. I think i've only gone 5 times. Anyways, today i did the library story time and it was annoying. We had to sit on a bench in the middle of the sand(which I HATE SAND!) and i wore my stupid Crocs. Yea, dumb, right?!? I think if they could've seen all the sand in my shoes they would've written me a ticket for stealing all their sand. It was terrible. Then it was in the mid to lower 80 degrees Farenheit. yea, it was a killer! Plus my mom had to take my uncle to the doctor so that he could get some tubes in his ears(yuck!) it was NASTY. Anyways, i'll get my profile done some more and have some cool stuff on it!

Summer Story Hour

2007-06-13T18:26:00.000-06:00

Every Wend. the local library puts on a reading day, where practically every child in the community under the age of 11 is there. Last week, there probably was over 100+ kids who attended. This week was not so fantastic! we probably had 75 or so kids, 2 of which were my nieces Sydney and Sarah. Last year i was looking for something to do that would look good on a resume, when i decided i wanted a job(like, right now!) So i called the library up after seeing a "Help Wanted" in my churches newsletter, and asked if they needed any help. Since last summer, i have helped them with the Story Hour and it has been fun! Today my niece sydney was going to get a tooth pulled at the dentist at 1p.m. so she came to the library at 10:30 with me to the story hour. She had so much fun, as did her sister sarah. I will have to take some pictures of what it looks like every week, it's hecktic!
