Survey

I'm bored, (don't hear that very often from me) and I don't really feel like posting a very, very VERY long post about the famine, so I stole this from Kaeleigh's blog. =) And I'm also changing my blog template because according to Naomi "everyone's blog is black." Besides, I'm sick of this one.

I'm wet and cold...bleck.

I just took my dog Maggie out for a walk with my mom. If all you people have windows then you probably know that the weather is gray and rainy. We went down to the stop sign nearest to my house and I told my mom we should go back because it looked like it was going to rain any second. It did. About 30 seconds after I said that. (Wooo...) So now I'm wet and cold. And I'm telling you that because you all wanted me to post more. You asked for it. =P Random, meaningless posts.

The problem

There is a huge difference between observing the problem, and actually doing something about it.
You can watch the problem play out, maybe getting better, maybe getting worse. You can feel sorry, for all the people the problem has unleashed it's misfortune upon. You can tell other people how they could fix the problem. You could lay it out, step by step for them. You can cry, if the problem is overbearing. You can become furious with the world for letting the problem become bigger and bigger. You can be annoyed with all the people who just sit there and complain. You can comment on the problem, suggesting solutions, or just complain about it yourself.
But I, do not want to hear any of this, if you do not do anything about it yourself.
The problem could be the starving children in Africa, it could be bad grades, pressure from a job or school, pollution, cancer, boredom, money issues, abortion, immodesty. The problem could be anything!!!
I am not saying that you can always do something. In some cases the only thing you can really do is pray. But praying is still doing something! And I'm also not saying that you shouldn't feel sorry for yourself if something in your life isn't ok. I absolutely believe that you should definatly be able to take a day off, or go see a movie, or just take a break. But you shouldn't do that for the rest of your life. If there is something you can do, do it. Don't just sit around and complain. Our generation is going to shape the world for the next 100 years or so. So if we just sit on our couches watching the world get worse and worse, we should be ashamed of ourselves. Just take it step by step, and try to change something people. The first thing you can do is change yourself. From there on, you could change the world.

Steller Kart - Jesus Loves You

I think this song explains what is hard to explain. It's so hard to tell people about Jesus, and most of the time just saying "Jesus loves you" reminds me of the little kid's song, and if people think of it like that, they think of it as a joke. A child's saying that doesn't mean anything. Like Santa Claus, or the boogeyman. Ok not the boogeyman, but something that used to mean something, until you found out it wasn't even real. But this song gives new meaning to the phrase "Jesus loves you," and it reminds me that those three words could change someone's life...So maybe you should say it more often. =)

Steller Kart - Jesus Loves You

Tell me what do you believe in
Does your life have rhyme or reason
Something in your heart that makes you care
I hope that you don’t mind me asking but I’ve got a burning passion
I need to know forever you’ll be there

I can’t make it clearer or put it any other way
If you can’t see the simple truth I do
Then there is nothing in this world that’s left to say
Jesus loves you

I know I don’t have all the answers and
I have wasted many chances to prove to you a fate that lives inside
I pray that there will be break through cause I can’t be the one to save you
God knows how many times I’ve tried

I can’t make it clearer or put it any other way
If you can’t see the simple truth I do
Then there is nothing in this world that’s left to say
Jesus Loves You

I can’t explain I can’t deny so many times for you
I’ve cried and to see you on your knees tonight

I can’t make it clearer or put it any other way
To know you know the simple truth I do
To know that you’re forever has been changed
Cause Jesus loves you

MY CELL PHONE!

I got a cell phone!! My first ever, wonderful cell phone. =) =)
It's an LG Verizon. The one with the keyboard. It's a very lovely green color. It's actually the same one as Brianna, but I wanted the green one before I knew she had it. Just saying. Haha.
Part of my wants to name it, but don't worry, I do realize how obsessive that probably is. Still...
I'm so excited, do you realize how much fun texting is? =)
Email me if you want my number. Heehee...my number.
Kidding kidding!!! =P

Just be happy that I'm posting and don't care if it's not a very long post.

To post about Deep Freeze, would be a very long post.
I would show you pictures, but because of my lack of camera, I can't.
So you'll have to be satisfied with these few words.

DEEP FREEZE WAS AMAZING!!!!!! As always, so uplifting, inspiring!
Soooo much fun and just obviously awesome! ...AAhhhhh! If you can make sense of that, good for you.

The band, Attaboy, was so cool, and the speaker Joel has been called a female Jodi, though I have to disagree because there's no one like Jodi. =P

Ok well peace, and go Google Attaboy.

This post is for Ashlee and all you who believe in me

Don't give up on my blog Ashlee!!!

Sorry I haven't posted..major drama and business has kept me away.
No excuse I know. Can't post this weekend cuz I'll be at Deep Freeze!!!!!!!
Woot Woot.

Did you know that cats stalk people? It's quite scary actually. Since they walk very quietly you never know they are following you and you only know they are there when you turn around and scream. Ok maybe not scream, but jump a little. Cats really are queer animals...Get one and find out. =)

An Outline

An Outline

I can sit still I can control my will.
There’s nothing you can say. There’s nothing you can do to change my mind.
I will stay strong. I will stand firm
Maybe I’m foolish. But it’s something I believe is true.
You say I’m stubborn. I think I’m brave.
Two different sides of the story, at least I know the ending of mine.
I finally learned that just my strength isn’t enough.
I can’t rely on just myself.
Just give me enough grace, Lord
To make my story one worth telling
Lend me your shoulder
We can make it through together.
Waiting ‘til the end of forever
Waiting, not just for you or for me,
But waiting for God’s very best
Until that day. . .
We will grow, into the people we were meant to be
And one day have our own Once upon a time, Happily Ever After.
Forever.
There are no endings. Only new beginnings....

Merry Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!
I'm posting tonight because I probably won't post for about...4 days. =D

Today is my mom's birthday! She's turning...well um..let's skip that part.

A couple of days ago I saw National Treasure 2! It was so awesome. I don't really think it was better than the first one, I know Meghan does, but I think that they are both great movies. I have such a hard time comparing movies, but I've realized, sometimes they don't really need to be compared. =)

If you have read Meghan's blog lately you'll see something about a coin machine. I'd like to clear the air about that.

...Um, yeah. So I might have put a 10 dollar bill into a coin machine, and I might have not really thought about what kind of change it was going to give me, so I kinda sorta maybe got 10 dollars in quarters. Ok forget all those so-might-might-kinda-sorta's. I did. Yup. I just didn't really think about it. Oh well, that's what makes life interesting!

Merry Christmas Eve again!
I hope you all have a great Christmas, and you don't forget the Christ in Christmas. =)

NOO!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THERE ISN'T A HOMESCHOOL CHRISTMAS PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This. is. horrible.
my life is over.
sorry, dramatic side took over there, I'll live. =)
no worries. ;)

Still,
grrrrrrrrrrr.

Awestriking

Does it ever bug you that you don't know what goes on in other people's heads? It bugs me. I have no idea what people are really thinking, and most of the time, they won't tell me....just a thought.

Have you ever had Christmas Panic? When it's getting close to Christmas, and you have like...no presents? You get really worried, and realize you probably shouldn't have just bought that awesome movie...cuz now you're broke. This happens to me every year. Because I underestimate Christmas...big time. I underestimate it's ability to sneak and scare. Most of the time it's because I'm so enthralled with the Christmas spirit and beauty, which isn't such a bad thing. But my unpreparedness is. Just another thing to work on.

Isn't amazing how friends can open you up and make you realize things about yourself that you needed to know? God is amazing. He planned everything, and everyone, and all we have to do is just follow his map. Anothing amazing thing, is learning, that God is your friend. Wow it's just so...awestriking. That isn't a word is it? Psh, since when do I care... ;)

Random post I know, I'm done now though.

I feel...

I feel like I should post.

What do y'all think? =)
(trying to get in touch with my country side. maybe I'll explain later =D )

Some Advice: Wanted or Unwanted

Last Thanksgiving, my friend Mia and I gave each other a lot of advice that could be very useful in life, and I've decided to pass some it along to you.

1. Stay away from Cookie Monster, he promotes one of the 7 deadly sins(gluttony)
2. Don't talk to strangers. Most of them are nice, but you never know when one of them is a pirate.
3. If you go to a R rated movie, make sure you bring a pillow, and make sure you wear elevator shoes.
4. Mittens are evil things. I don't care how many people say they are warm and fuzzy, they are all crackpots, and they know it.
5. Don't believe commericals, everything looks bigger on TV.
6. If you wish upon a star, makes no difference where you are, up above the world so high....You'll need a space helmet, remember to ask for one for Christmas.
7. If your friend disagrees with you, lock them in a closet until they see it your way.
8. Dr. Phil, can not help you. If he can't even get his own hair to grow, there is obviously something wrong with him.
9. If you ever hear a sqeaking noise under your bed. Get the gun next to your alarm clock, and never, ever, ever, sleep again.
10. Don't ever give a nuggy to a prep, they are obsessed about their hair.
11. Don't sniff sharpies.
12. On fish tanks when it says to not tap the glass, resist, and just don't tap the glass.
13. Do not indulge on raw or undercooked food it will expose you to bacterial illnesses.
14. Never gossip about someone cause there is always a 90% chance they are standing right behind you. (there are other reasons you shouldn't gossip too)
15. Don't make fun of people cause when they die they will come back to haunt you. Instead lead them to believe you are in fact laughing WITH them instead of AT them.
16. When a someone you don't like say they love you don't change the subject, it never works.
Example of what NOT to do
PersonWhoLovesYou: You, I love you!
You: Do you like cheese? Paramesian is my fav!
Example of the right thing to do:
PersonWhoLovesYou: You, I love you
You: Oh that's very sweet and I appreciate it. I will always remember to send you a christmas card.

Ahah yeah. I hope this helps you and your search for answers. =)

I stink at thinking up post titles

Hey, Emmaline wanted me to tell you all that the Prince Caspian trailer is coming out tomorrow with Enchanted. So yep. Maybe you should go see it.

How do you all like my new colors? Very different, huh? Molly picked them so say whatever you want. Just kidding, be nice. (You should always be nice.)

Has anyone else noticed the world has increased in "Drama" ? I mean, what's wrong with increasing the science in the world? Apparently a lot, if all scientists have to do is pick apart everything they've discovered. *CoughPlutocough*

Football Game and The Rest Of My Exciting Life...Yup

Hung out with Brianna again. Man I love that girl, she's so spirited, and strong. =)
She convinced me to go to the high school's football game. Semi..final I think. No idea. B told me but I forget. Hee. WE WON!!!!!!! We (The Pythons) totally smacked the other team into the ground!! It was pretty sick. Except for the part when my fingers stopped working (they were blue, actually), and it hurt to walk because my toes were frozen. Yeah.

After the game (which we totally slammed), we came back to my house and watched The Mummy Returns. Good movie, first one is better, but the second is is really awesome too. Then strange people came over. 'Nuff said. You don't want to know.

Missed youth group last night. =( Makes me sad, wish I could have been there lovelys.

Rachel can talk in an English accent now! Props to her. Even though it's very hard to tell on the phone, but I believe her. =)

100th Post and Artpad

This is my 100th post! Took me a long time, but I'm here. =)

So when I'm really bored I go to artpad.art.com and I paint, and since I have nothing to post about, I thought I'd post some stuff I've painted.

^^This one is my favorite. Took me awhile too.

Oh yeah, the writing you canNOT add on artpad, so I went to paint and added it over the stuff I DID do on artpad.
I really don't know what this is...Like I said, I was bored. =)
Black dots I did on paint too. Heehee. Would you call that cheating? =D

Friday Night

Last night my youth group went to another church in Lexington because they had a special guest. Mike Timlin from the Red Sox!!! He talked about his faith, his family, he talked about the Red Sox a little bit, and he answered some questions. It was pretty cool, probably would have been cooler if I had paid more attention. It was so not my fault though (ok a little tiny bit my fault), YOU try sitting next to Jaina! It was so funny. I really don't know why, but we couldn't stop laughing, even though nothing was really that funny. Then I took Jaina to the "bathroom" because we couldn't handle it anymore, and we had to go calm down. We weren't really being loud, but if we had stayed there, we would have been. Besides it would have been really werid if we had just randomly started laughing when Mike Timlin was talking. And really embarassing...haha. Near the end I acutally went down one row and sat next to Rachel, because I couldn't look at Jaina without laughing. No idea what caused our crazyness, and by the way, I usually do pay attention when someone's speaking. Just not with Jaina....heehee.

Choices

Choices make you who you are. Ok I get that.

So let's say a person makes a lot of bad choices. Does that make them a bad person?

Let's say a person makes a lot of good choices. Does that make them a good person?

What if a person who has made bad choices, made those choices, because they didn't see any other choice?

What if a person who has made good choices, has their heart in the wrong place, and only makes those good choices for the glory or riches?

I think that it doesn't matter WHAT choice you make, whether it's a good choice or a bad choice, as long as you learn from the consequence of that choice, and then, chose the RIGHT choice next time.

Give me some feedback people.

(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!!!
