 Papa's out of town tonight so we're staying up late watching Indian movies.  It's a lot of fun.  First we watched Nandukonden Kandukonden or I Have Seen, I Have Realized, I Have Found It.  It's based on Sense and Sensibility and it's very sweet.  Now we're watching Kuch naa Kaho.  I love the music and the costumes.  There's one dress in the first movie that I want to make.  Maybe I'll use it for a dance I've been planning...

  I've been thinking about having a dance next month or late the month after.  A black and white ball.  Kind of for my 18th birthday, but that's more an excuse really.  :P  The only problem is that I don't know how to put music together for a dance...  I don't even have the music yet.  I'm thinking it will have to be late January.

  Hehe these movies make me laugh...  Next I want to get Bride and Prejudice.  :D  lol

  I've been making and remaking my plans for the next couple years over and over.  :P  I can't decide...  Should I go away to college and study Political Science and journalism, or buy a house and all that jazz...  One kind of cancels out the other.  I can either save the money and buy a house or save the money and go to college.  I think I'm leaning towards the house.  Then if I have time and money later I'll go to college. 

  Last night we watched Collison at our Church.  It was a very interesting movie, I would highly recomend it.  I'd heard most of the stuff that Doug Wilson said already, but it was really interesting to hear a debate between two people.  I really enjoyed it.

 Well, it's late and the movie's almost over.  Goodnight all. <3

Posted in Daily Life

 I don't know what to post about, but I feel like I should...  Hmph... 

 

  I have the Tuesday Blues today.  They're kind of like the Monday Blues, except they're Tuesday's and not as common.    I think it's because Monday was a very long Monday, which makes it feel like it should be Wednesday.  And I love Wednesdays.  I think it's also because I stayed up till 12:30 last night writing a letter, reading bits of New Moon by Stephanie Meyer, listening to Radiohead and the howling wind outside, watching the willow tree outside my window flapping around, and being generaly depressed.    I really like Radiohead now.  They're very consoling. 

 

  Anyways, Forrest is going to a political thing today with a good friend from Church.  I wonder if he'll come home all inspired to start that book club. 

 

 

 

 I love music.

 

 

 

 

This video is so cool... :'(

 

 Anyways, Luv ya! <3

• Nov. 13, 2009 - Jobs :P

Posted in Daily Life
I spent the entire day applying at places in the mall... :P Aeropostale, Gymboree, Bath and Body Works, Jamba Juice, Justice, and a couple others... I had a short interview with a guy at Anchor Blue that is hopeful.

I also applied at the Dutch Bros that's really close to the bus stop. I would really like that one. :) I would like to work at a coffee shop.

So anyways, we're watching NCIS right now. Tony is SO cool! :D I love how he hides how cool he is most of the time. :)

We went to a book store on our way home, well not really on the way. :P We had to walk most of the way. By the time we got there my toes were numb. Converse do not do much to keep out the cold and wet. :P I love bookstores. They smell so good. I love the smell of books. And this store in particular smells good. :)

• Nov. 3, 2009 - Flower Meanings

Posted in Books

I have a book that my grandma gave me with a ton of flower meanings. I think they're fascinating and have read this book countless times. I always liked it in the old movies and books when a girl would get flowers and they meant something...

 

A secret admirer might send a bouquet of these to the girl he liked.

Yellow Acacia = Secret Love 

 

White Clover = Think of Me

 

Celandine = Joys to Come

 

Some of my favorites are:

Blue Bell = Constancy

Four Leaved Clover = Be mine

Dead Leaves = Sadness (Kind of an obvious one, but still very fitting.)

Fern = Sincerity

Forget Me Not = True Love

Pansy = You occupy my thoughts, thoughts

Honeysuckle = Bonds of Love

Lettuce = Cold heartedness (I think this one's funny. :D  )

Purple Lilac = First emtions of Love

Marigold = Grief Despair

Peach Blossom = I am your captive

Petunia = Never despair

Red Poppy = Consolation

Rose = Love

Bridal Rose = Happy Love

Christmas Rose = Relieve my anxiety

White and Red Roses Together = Unity

Yellow Rose = Decrease of Love, Jealousy

Full Rose Over Two buds = Secrecy

Red Rosebud = Pure and Lovely

White Rosebud - Girlhood and a heart ignorant of Love

Rosemary = Remembrance

Snowdrop = Hope

Dwarf Sunflower = Adoration

Red Tulip = Declaration of Love

Yellow Tulip = Hopeless Love

Blue Violet = Faithfulness

White Lily = Purity and modesty

Zinnia = Thoughts of absent friends

Those were all taken from The Language of Flowers

Love, Shay

• Oct. 22, 2009 - Ugh...

Posted in Daily Life
Ugh, I haven't felt this nasty since last year. This is the third time I've got this sickness in the last month. I think it's swine flu. :P About half the Church has it. That's one problem with such a close Church... Oh, well.

Blah this headache is making it hard to think. Right now I'm watching "Miss Potter" for the second time. I cry so hard at this movie. Not that that's anything amazing... :P I cry very very easily. I just finished the Twilight series. I read the second one in just a little over five hours and sobbed the entire time. I actually really enjoyed the series. I didn't expect to. I'm looking forward to the next movie.

Choir was last night. We have our first performance next week. We're singing psalm 47, it's fun to sing. :)

BLAH! My head is splitting wide open! :'( I really hope this goes away soon...

I can't remember if there was anything else I wanted to say...

I'm craving coke.

Oh, dear. I've started crying already...

I'm starting to put some more interesting stuff on my zune. :) A Coldplay, Keanne, The Flaming Lips, and Radiohead. Thanks Benny! :)

Well, I can't think of anything else to say...

Love, Shay

• Oct. 13, 2009 - I don't like "untitled entries".

Posted in Daily Life
Ok, I'm sick, and Mama thinks it's Swine Flu. :P I don't think she really thinks that though. :) I think I'll be better by tomorrow, I'm a whole lot better today than I was yesterday.

I love Nickelback! Not that I know very many of their songs... :P But we danced to one at the last dance and it was so good. :) I think my favorite is Gotta Be Somebody, which is also the song we used for the dance. lol :D

Blah I feel really out of it.

I'll be turning 18 in a little under two months now. Which means I'll be able to vote! I'll also hopefully be getting my license soon after that. It would be so nice to not have to worry about getting a ride to and from places. :P

• Oct. 8, 2009 - Memories

Posted in Other

  So, I'm using the right computer sooner than I thought.  :) 

 

  Check this out. 

 

I said I would post about memories next.  It's something I've been meaning to post about for a while, I just needed to get all my stuff together. :P  I have memory boxes and folders tucked away all over the place.  :) 

 

  My first folder starts in 2004 and ends  in 2007.  I can't believe I actually saved this stuff.  :P  I've got drawings, letters, Christmas cards, and some Christmas letters from people in the Church.  I also have the camp schedule for 07!  lol :D  I have J and J's wedding bulletin.

 

  The next folder is 2008.  This one is mostly letters, but it does have Forrest and my airplane tickets to California and my Knott's Berry Farm pass.  It also has my graduation cards and handout. 

 

  Then I have like three boxes of unsorted things...  journals, letters, camp schedules, Winter Arts handouts, Christmas letters, invitations, talent night schedules, bubbles from weddings, Oaks park bracelets, 09 graduation pics, KA dinner theater schedule, and my boyfriend Bob.  lol :D  He's just a plastic army man btw... 

 

  Then I have another box downstairs with some more important memories/keepsakes.  A few more journals, pictures, drawings, letters, and flowers.

 

  Memories are so important to me. I love being able to get out a picture or something like that and remembering everything that went with it.  I want to eventually be able to get a camcorder and be able to film things that are happening.  The thing is, not matter how could your camera or your recordings are they will never be able to capture the feelings that go along with each moment.  Talent night is one of my favorite points of the year.  Camp is drawing to a close and everyone is happy, content and ready to laugh.  :)  watching the video of talent night is never the same.  You're not really there...  It just gives you camp sickness...  :P

• Oct. 7, 2009 - Julian Smith

Posted in Daily Life
So, I just discovered this guy named Julian Smith on Youtube thanks to my friend Beka. He's SO funny! :D He's a Christian and I'm pretty sure he was home schooled. At least I guessed that from his older videos. :)

Check him out! Especially his Kidnapped series and the Hot Kool-aid video! Unfortunately I can't link to them right now, I'm not using the right computer. I would have to use the upstairs computer and I don't know when I'll be using it again. I've been kind of busy canning peaches and stuff. :P Which is why I've been neglecting my blog.

I'll try and do a real post soon. I want to post about memories next. I have several boxes of them. :)

Love y'all! Shay
