So today for Christmas I got my first diamond bracelet from my grandma. But it's gold...and I don't really like gold. :/ oh well, I'll get over it. XP I also go a fuzzy scarf, some body wash, a digital portabl picture frame and an iTunes gftcard. <3

I think that's everything from my moms side of the family. Around new years we'll be going to my dads side of the family to do Christmas with them. I'm kinda excited to see what exactly they got me...but if it's anything like last year where all my aunt and uncle (who are both lawyers might I add) got me a DVD. Ughhhhhh. Lol

Merry Cwismas!!!

Alrighty. So I know I'm a little earlyyyy buuuuuut I figured while I'm chillen I should blog. lol

I actually don't have much to say cause I haven't opened many presents yet. From my parents I got Brain Age for my DS and a cute case for it. And then for myself I bought my iPod Touch. I love his thing. XP but I always feel bad for talking about cause I feel like I'm bragging. :/ ugh idk lol then from Sarah I got tickets to see OWL CITY!!!!!!!! oh my gosh I was screaming. Her boyfriend (the creeper) was making fun of me cause I was so excited over a piece of paper taped to cardboard. She's waiting for the tickets to be delievered to her house. It came as such a suprised cause I bought the tickets were all sold out. So when she told me we were going...I think that's the happiest I've ever been. XD And then Brittany got me some bodywash and socks. The socks have penguins on them.

I'm hoping from my dads side of the family I will get the first Nevertheless cd cause I don't have it yet and now that they're not a band anymore... :( I was so sad. I still am actually.

I'm hoping over spring break...actually eight after spring break I can go back up to Nashville with Page and visit with her at school. Cause that'd be tons of fun and I'd get to see what college life is actually like. Although sometimes I feel jealous cause she talks about her best friends at school, Megan and Steffani, allllll the time. And when she does talk about them I can't help but feel like I might get replaced cause they're so close already and Page has only been hanging out with them since like September. Anyways this blog just took a depressing turn. Lol have a good and safe Christmas and I hope that you guys get everything that you (ever) wanted. I couldn't help but throw that Hawk Nelson reference in there.

i've been setting up for the fall festival at my church and there's this guy that attends our spanish church that's also been helping all day long. so my mom asked him to go and get some chairs [that was around 5 pm] and when he came to deliever them my mom asked him "bet you won't come to voluenteer anymore" she asked jokingly and he knew it but how he replied amazed me because i haven't thought about this once today. he said "no. *laugh* i do all things for the Lord..." i can't remember exactly, but it was just neat to see how he probably hadn't complained on how HOT it is today, or how thirsty he was or how many laps he's made around the church. he acted as if he had just gotten there and was put to work.

it was amazing.

i don't know, it just made me realize that i need to think more like him. just be positive and do stuff for the Lord, not just because the church needed people to help out. and i shouldn't be complaining on the weather. everybody else is just as hot, thirsty and whatever as i am. who am i to complain?

today SUCKS!

so let me tell you about my day today. and yes, i know i haven't blogged since...july 29th...which would make it like 2.5 months. my bad. i'm not very good at writing. XD
but anyways...so...
it all started at 1 am this morning. i was still awake...but i decided to go to bed. and i laid in bed for an hour. and i was still awake. so i didn't fall asleep until well after 2. and then i got in trouble because i didn't wake up until "almost 11". it was 10:30...which isn't almost 11. but whatever. so then i had to give the dogs a bath. i hate doing that. so that wasn't fun. after that my mom was like "get ready. we're leaving soon." awesome. i took a shower and i had to go to the mall with wet hair. i don't like that. for whatever reason, going to the mall for me means that i have to look good. idk why...but i just feel like i have to "dress up". :/ so i'm told just to go into hot topic, get the almost's ep [monster ep] and then come back out. and if i didn't see it, my mom told me to ask. [cause i don't like asking. XP] so i go in and i look and i don't see it. so i wait to ask the girl that worked there and she's like "no. we don't have it in yet. try back in a few weeks." GBAOINSDFPOAWNET! i was told last tuesday [when it released] that they would have it the next morning. she was like "they just randomly send it to us." whatever. you guys need to get on the ball cause i'm tired of coming here for stuff and you guys not having it. [our hot topic has to be the WORST ht in the ENTIRE country. bleh] so then we went to kmart cause my mom wanted to get me some new jeans. first off, i can't stand kmart...but that's where most of my jeans are from cause they have pretty awesome sales on jeans. but not today. it was all jeans with like elastic bands. ick. so i didn't get anything. so then we came home becuse my brother sliced his hand on a broken bottle...that was UNDER his bed. i'm wondering what kind of bottle, glass bottle, was under his bed. [i guess i just think the worst about people. XP but he's so secretive that i can't help but wonder] so i came home and i bought the monster ep on the almost's site cause i want it and i'm annoyed with it not being at hot topic [it's an exclusive hot topic item]. then later we went to target cause i wanted to get the new nd game, cause i've heard that it's out and target is notourious for putting stuff out early. but they didn't have it out yet. >_<>_< but today my mom was like "you might be able to go on the retreat. cause they need somebody else and lorraine is trying to talk to tim about paying for you to go." i have NO idea why they're trying to pay for me, cause first off i've always paid to go and the church has never paid for the high schoolers to go. but then like right after my mom's like "but i'm not sure that it's a good idea that you go." WHAT?!?!?! she knows how much i wanted to go, so don't tempt me with the idea of going. oh, and it's this weeked...but i have to work and whatnot...so i'm not sure that it'd be best for me to go. so i was just talking about it with page and she's like "well, you should go. call off work and have sombody cover your sunday school class for you. you're going to regret if you don't go." i dont' think that she realizes that NOBODY would voluenteer to sub for me this sunday. we have a hard enough time getting people to voluenteer to just teach a stinking class. yeah, i might regret it later in life and i'll probably mope around this weekend, but the girls are ALWAYS the preppiest people that i've ever met and they don't do any work. it drives me nuts. and page is saying how she'd go and how i should go and be outgoing...i'm not an outgoing person already, so what in the world would change me by this weekend? UGH! so she isn't understanding my reasons for wanting to not go...
idk...today hasn't been my favorite day. and i want it to be OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my life lately

Ahh...I haven't blogged in forever.

Let's see...what's been going on with me.  Not much really.  I'm babysitting pretty much everyday this summer...it gets old cause now the kids are comfortable with me and like to backtalk and such now.  It's not really all that cool.  And yesterday, I had to be the mean babysitter and make one of the kids dust the entire house cause she didn't want to come outside with us.  Oh well.  She got over it.  XP

At the beginning of July I went white water rafting.  :D  I was scared to death, but I enjoyed it a lot.  I can't wait to do it again.  :)  And after rafting we went to CIY MOVE in Knoxville, TN.  It was amazing.  :D  A great week, that was filled with some trying times...I'll talk about that in a second..really cute guys and total funness.  haha  New word.  :)  Like there were 5 guys I think that I liked.  Hahaha....lets see, there was Matt Thiessen, he was the sound guy.  He really did look just like Matt Thiessen from Relient K; then there was Alex, the cutest senior guy ever.  He's a total goofhead...and I'll talk about him in a minute too; then there was Seth, the coolest guy with nerd glasses.  He was really sweet and quiet and I only talked to him twice but he was just suuper cool; and there was the guy with the cool hair; Belmont the V-Neck, who's real name is Zack something; and the Nerd.  Ha, so I was wrong, there was 6.  But the Nerd was a leader for one of the groups, but he looked really young, like not much older than me.  :)

I'll start with the trials at CIY...we [Page and I] roomed with this girl Katie that I already didn't like.  She had broken her arm like a week before the trip, so she couldn't do anything by herself.  [or at least she made it seem like she couldn't]  And with Page and I being the oldest girls and the ones that everybody thinks are great Christian girls [Page is...me...I'm getting there.  :)] we get stuck with her.  We had the choice of being together and rooming with her or being seperated and one of us still being with her.  We decided to tough it out together.  Hahahahahaha...that was a mistake.  By the second night she had already ticked me off enough to make me cry.  I could've punched her.  And then during the week she said stuff about my brother TO MY FACE and then dissed my dress saying that it looked old.  And unfortunately I couldn't say anything about her dress, cause I really liked it.  lol  She's just a brat and spoiled and a crybaby and when she doesn't get her way, watch out.  Bhahhhhhh

Okay...now onto Alex.  :):):):):):):)  He's a super cutie and I didn't really talk to him much, but my friend Page did and I was always with her...soooo...yeah.  lol  He has this video on youtube...it's amazing.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SOsNpLDfcE  He's a total goofbball.  Oh my gosh, I for real could marry this kid.  :):):):) <3>

Oh, and tonight I found out that Cody isn't in Stellar Kart anymore...and apparently hasn't been for a while.  I HAD NO CLUE!  It was so crazy.

And my birthday is on Tuesday.  :)  I'm excited.  I'm going to try and get off babysitting [which I already asked, so i think i will] and my friends and I are going to try and make a day of it.  It'll be fun!

Oh!  And I'm going to Rock the Universe again this year.  Uber excited for it.  I'm already pumped and it isn't for like 6 1/2 weeks.  Haha...I've got this teeshirt design that I'm going to get.  Let me get a link...

Yeah, I'm excited.  :)

[for the most part] Today was pretty good :)

Well, like the churhc art kinda stunk.  I didn't want to sit through the sermon.  I just had no want to.  But whatever.

But then we [me and Sarah] went to the mall.  i want[ed] new converse.  Got them.  :D  http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Shoes/Sneakers/Converse-Purple-Double-Tongue-Low-Tops-326616.jsp  They're AWESOME!  And as I was buying them the girl that works there was telling us about this concert that was going on.  So we ended up staying for it.  the band is Can You Keep a Secret?  they're soooooooooooooooo good.  I wanted to get their CD...but I didn't have $5.   :(  I would totally buy it though.  lol  I wish that I had iTunes so I could get it.  [my computer doesn't have internet right now, so I can't get anything on iTunes]

And we had this guy [about our age] following us around the mall.  Kinda creepy.  and then we decided we'd follow him around...and we lost him.  lame.

!!! :)

I'm soooo exctied!  :D  I finished school this week.  So now I just have to work on getting my GED taken and stuff.  But it was weird to wake up and think that I have absoutley NO MORE SCHOOL TO DO!  So exciting!

And I'm going to Disney tomorrow for a couple of days.  It's going to be fun!  I really need to go to sleep.  lol

And I went to a concert on Monday...absoutley no people there and it rocked.  :D  This Beautiful Republic was saying how they just played a concert with Relient K and Needtobreathe and we were so much louder than the crowd there and we had a significantly smaller amount of people.

Here's videos...sorry for the horrible sound quality.  Being right at the stage means pretty much bad sound.  And I ended up screaming in a lot of it so....http://www.youtube.com/user/bubblezrulez85
