(My weekend was) Won-Da-Ful

My weekend was won-da-ful. It felt soo good to relax, even though actually was pretty busy. I think that's a good way to just forget about schoolwork and all those stressful things. Just keep busy, but don't go nutty with stuff.
Saturday my Aunt Lisa and my cousin Jill came over. I'm so glad they did because we don't see them a lot and I miss them. I got my very late birthday present which rocked too. I got these beautiful beaded necklaces that were made in Kenya, Africa. They are soooo pretty and you can do like a million things with them. After they left I hung out with Meghan. We surfed youtube for a little, finding some awesome people who can play the Pirates them song on their electric guitars. These people are seriously talented.

Today I saw Brianna!! Not Brianna from youth group, a different Brianna. I knew her when I went to a different youth group with Bethany, and now she goes to school with Molly. And I remembered her and she remembered me (after a while, she thought Molly was insane when Molly told her that she knew her sister). Are you at all confused? It's a very long confusing story. And I don't think I explained it very well. But that's ok because you'll deal. Haha. So Bri and her dad picked me up and I went to their church service this morning. After I stayed and helped with their harvest festival. I officially have a new skill. I can face paint!!! I was so scared I would mess up and the little kids would like, hate me, for drawing something completely hideous on their face, but I actually did pretty well! It wasn't that hard, I just had to let go and relax, and not be stiff and mean. I talked to the kids too, they were all so cute. I must have done like 30 rainbows. Yep so that was fun. After we went back to Brianna's house and hung out there for like 3 hours and did random things. Yeah so Brianna's awesome. I love her. =)

~Adios.

Science Museum

We're going the the Science Museum today!! I haven't been there for like...8 years I think. Actually the last time I was there I had a broken leg.

Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy!!!

A Couple of My Feelings

Why do people always try to make your business their business? It's like they think they can help you, when you know that you don't need their help. They think that because you're having problems, that that automatically means that you don't have a handle on things. Oh yeah? Well maybe you do have a handle on things. And if you don't, well then hopefully God will put some sense in your head and make you go and talk to someone. If not, then offer your help to a friend, but don't push it.

Also, life is different for everybody, so let them live their life and you go live yours. If they want to skydive for a living, then shut up and ask them if you can come for one ride.

And if you have a problem, don't hide it. Don't be the dramatic actress or actor, cuz no matter what you think, you are not in a movie and you need to trust the people around you. Everything's going to be ok if you trust in God and in the friends and family he gave you. That's why they're there you knucklehead.

You can't change the past so get over it, and try to make the future different. Plan ahead, but live for the moment.

And one last thing, if you're planning on being my friend, then BE MY FRIEND. Don't make any promises you aren't going to keep. Trust me, I'll be better off without you if you do.

This is not directed to anyone in particular. It may contain somethings I want some people to know, but not completely. It's also just my feelings...Please don't get offended by them. This isn't directed towards you.

Every Day

This is a song by Rascal Flatts, they are a country Christian band, and they wrote this song for their newest cd Still Feels Good. I really like it because I think that this song is directed to God and how he saves, and love us unconditionally.

You could've bowed out gracefully

But you didn't

You knew enough to know

To leave well enough alone

But you wouldn't

I drive myself crazy

Tryin' to stay out of my own way

The messes that I make

But my secrets are so safe

The only one who gets me

Yeah, you get me

It's amazing to me

How every day

Every day, every day

You save my life

I come around all broken down and

Crowded out

And you're comfort

Sometimes the place I go

Is so deep and dark and desperate

I don't know, I don't know

Sometimes I swear,

I don't know if I'm comin' or goin'

But you always say something

Without even knowin'

That I'm hangin' on to your words

With all of my might and it's alright

Yeah, I'm alright for one more night-

Every day you save my life

GAHHHH

I CAN'T CHANGE MY BLOG TEMPLETE.....

I am going to go CRAZY.

And by that I mean more crazy than I already am.

*sniff*

Cold burgers *GASP!*

The world,

would be a terrible place,

IF ALL THE BURGERS WERE COLD.

Uh-huh, yup.

Winter -- Say what?

Is there something I'm missing? Everyone seems to adore winter, and yet, I don't. It could have something to do with being cold. I can't stand being cold, and I always am in the winter.

Also snow. Completely beautiful and sparkly for a moment, but soon, gray and smushy. (Not a word but it should be.) It looses it's appeal. But I will admit, for a minute it time, it does have a certain...charm to it.

Now me, I prefer the ocean. Warm beaches, palm trees. Somewhere tropical. Green, green grass squishing beneath my feet. Soft, warm breezes are always appreciated. The winter just seems so dead and silent.

If you care to prove me wrong, I encourage you to try. But I warn you, it won't be easy. =P

Erika!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIKA!!!

YOU ROCK LIKE A NEW SOCK!!!

Ok sorry that was really lame but we really couldn't live without socks. Think about it..

Anyway...I hope you have an awesome birthday, and btw...being 15 rocks. So enjoy it. =)

Yep, so they kidnapped me

Ok so hi! Sorry it took so long for me to post about my wonderf-uh I mean traumatizing experience on Monday.
So first of all, I have like the best friends ever. I do, I really do. I mean I'm the only girl (that I know of) that has gotten kidnap by her friends!! Yes, it was my friends who kidnapped me. Shocking I know. Yep so they kidnapped me, and I was at the computer at the time, about 10 minutes probably after I wrote the post before this one. And they came up behind me and grabbed me, and someone (you'll find out later) put their hands over my eyes so I couldn't see anything. Then they blindfolded me, put a pillowcase over my head and tied my hands with a bandana. After doing that they carried me out of my house. And I just have to mention that apparently my parents felt it was their duty to do nothing. Unless they knew something I didn't...
I was positive that they were going to drop me, so I offered to walk, but they didn't reply...hmm. Wasn't that nice of me though?! Offering to help my kidnappers...Heehee. They actually did drop me too. On the wet grass. But I didn't get that wet, haha. So they carried me down to the driveway and pushed me in a car, and they buckled my seat belt for me. Which I thought was very thoughtful of them because I couldn't buckle it myself because my hands were tied and also because that meant that they were concerned for my safety! After doing that they pulled the pillowcase and blindfold off my head and untied my hands. GUESS, who it was.

Ashlee, Tori, Kaeleigh and Naomi!!

I love those girls. Hahah. Yeah so after they kidnapped me for my birthday!! Don't you wish you could be kidnapped for your birthday? I bet you do.

We went to the Rockingham mall which rocks, and we went to Mr. Tux! We only went there because Tori asked me where I wanted to go and that was the first store I saw on the map. Hhaha. When we went in, the saleslady came up to us like right away and asked us if she could help us, and we said, no thank you. She looked at us kind of strangely (do you blame her?) and asked us we were looking for something in particular. We said not we're just looking, and she walked away. She watched us the whole time we were there and I could tell she really really wanted to kick us out but she didn't because she didn't know why we were there.

Later we got a birthday sundae! It was huuuuuge. Tori took some pictures and I'm going to make her put them on her blog. So Tori please put them on your blog when you have time!

It was really good by the way. =)

So that's my traumatic experience. It was awesome. =)

It's...its...

It's....it's....too tramatic for me to post about my extraordinary kiddnapping the other day...I will only be able to post about it when I recover....*Sigh* If I recover!

Also I have to find out how much I am allowed to tell the world. My special CSI agent Diane has to tell me what I am allowed to tell you.

WARNING: You may not be able to handle it.

With Someone...oooooh

Apparently I'm going out today, With Someone. Or Someones. To Somewhere. Or Something. I have no idea, Who, What, Why, And Exactly When. Ooooooh. Scary.

Well I kinda know why, it's a belated birthday surprise. With Someone. BUT I HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT ANYTHING!!!!!

So I'm just sitting here...at the computer....waiting...for something to happen.

I love surprises, I really do, but I don't love waiting. It's deffinatly not a skill of mine.

Huh. Well I'll post about whatever I'm doing, after I'm done whatever I'm going to do, and with whoever I'm going to do it with.

....Or whatever.

Templates!

Ok so I'm trying to find a new blog template and I'm having a hard time finding one that I really like. So I'm going to try a bunch of different ones probably every 1-3 days (so keep checking in), and I want you guys to comment on which template you think looks good. Also I'll probably change the blog title to have something to do with the template. If I think of a good title. So I need you to comment people!! =)

Meghan and Sophie here!

HI! It's Sophie and Meghan. On Sophie's blog!!! Woooohhoooooo we are simply amazing!! Ok really sorry but it's a tad late and we are both hyper on......um....I'll give you the short version, laughter.
WE went to the mall today, it was faaantastic. We got kicked out of Claires!!! Because we were rabid wild hooligans!!!!! Or because I had the much desired mocha joe, <33333 and you're not supposed to. mua hahahhahahahhahahhhahahaah. Man I need to go to bed.
Meghan says "NO WAY! Hyper........HYPER!!!"
Oh and for those of you who care and have read Maximum Ride, Meghan and I found the perfect person to play FANG in the movie!!!!! Joe Jonas! He can totally pull it off!!!
Together, Meghan and I spent probably....about $115 bucks at the mall.........our excuse is that Meghan got a wicked cute hat. Two hats actually. WHICH I FOUND!! both of them. both on sale. I have a sixth sense about stuff like that. Heehee.
Meghan is going to get the cable thingy so that her laptop doesn't run out of battery because I guess she thinks this is going to be a long post or something. pshh.
Oh and Meghan and I have a new favorite song!!!! It's from Robin Hood. Yes the cartoon.
It's called Oo-de-lally! AHHH!!! <33
here are the lyrics but it's soooo much better with the music. maybe I'll find a video for it.....

Robin Hood and Little John
Walkin' through the forest
Laughin' back and forth
At what the other'ne has to say
Reminiscin', This-'n'-thattin'
Havin' such a good time
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
Never ever thinkin' there was danger in the water
They were drinkin', they just guzzled it down
Never dreamin' that a schemin' sherrif and his posse
Was a-watchin' them an' gatherin' around
Robin Hood and Little John
Runnin' through the forest
Jumpin' fences, dodgin' trees
An' tryin' to get away
Contemplatin' nothin'
But escape an' fin'lly makin' it
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a daaaaayyyyy!!

........We are NOT as crazy as it seems.

G'NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

Ashlee!

Check it out people!!!
Ashlee is on my blog links!!! Because she is amazing and she rocks and she's my biffle. So go to her blog and I know she'd love it if you commented!! =)

Taking Chances

"What do you say to taking chances,

What do you say to jumping off the edge?

Never knowing if there's solid ground below

Or hand to hold."

-Celine Dion, Taking Chances

My sister...

I was just thinking about me and my sister. We have a very...complicated relationship. She thinks she knows all there is to know about me, but she actually has never taken the time to dig a little deeper past the outer surface. I'm a girl, so yes it's true that I hide a lot. Maybe more than some people know. I have feelings that rush through me like water and in an instant are gone. I have little pet peeves, small things that annoy me that probably shouldn't annoy me as Meghan and Rachel point out. =)

But there are deeper things in me. I have passions, dreams, sorrows, and burdens. I've hurt some people, but people have hurt me too. My sister hurts me a lot, not phiscally, but emotionally. She doesn't understand me but she thinks she does which makes her assume things that aren't true about me. And I know that she has told some other people things about me. But she doesn't really know anything.

I have hated my sister. I have felt like punching her and I'm sure if I was a boy I would have by now. =) But I'm a girl so I've been afraid to. I've been afraid of a lot. I used to be afraid of stairs without railings and with openings underneath. But mostly I'm afraid of feelings. Sometimes I hide from my feelings or other peoples.

I've handled a lot of things the wrong way I know that, but the thing I kept telling myself is live and learn. That doesn't help very much when you're hurting inside. My sister doesn't know I hurt inside. She thinks I'm so full of it, that I'm always confident and I'm selfish. Well yes sometimes I am selfish, but so is she. And everyone is. It's life.

My sister has made me cry a lot before but I've decided tonight not to let her anymore. I know she's going to keep hurting me but I am not going to run to my bed and throw my self on it and cry. No, I'm going to run to my heavenly father and throw myself in his arms. I've made a lot of mistakes this summer, and the summer's before that. And I just want to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for those mistakes, I'm sorry for anyone that's gotten hurt, and I'm sorry that my sister and I don't love each other like sister's should. But I just want to say that I'm going to move on, and I'm not going to dwell on my mistakes anymore, because my savior forgives me. Even if my sister....and some others, don't.

I want to be happy, so after this post I'm going to be. I've kept some things inside for too long and I need to let them out. You don't have to comment about anything of this, I just needed...to let it go.

Hola

Hola everybody who still has faith in my blog -

So yesterday was my birthday and I truly have the greatest friends because so many of them did just a little thing for me! I am like swimming in movies which I totally love. I love old musicals and I got like 5 because I just have the greatest family. =) I also got Ocean's 11 and 12, and Robin Hood! The old Disney movie with the fox as Robin Hood. I have to admit I totally love that movie and I always will because I WILL NEVER BE TO OLD FOR ROBIN HOOD. Hah!

Something I forgot to mention is I'm taking singing lessons every Tuesday night. Today was my second lesson and I already love it. My music teacher's really nice and apparently I surprised her because I went up a key in like, 2 minutes or something. I'm not sure but I was happy. =)
