Flower Meanings
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 |

Ugh...
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

I don't like "untitled entries".
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

Memories
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

Julian Smith
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 |

Anyhow
I am very tired. Again. I'm always tired. And my head hurts. Again. *sigh*
BUT, soon it will be Wednesday again!!! :D :D :D
So, anyways, our Church had a picnic outside yesterday. It was very different while being the same. :) I just wonder what the people driving by thought. :D
I'm going to eventually buy a house (hopefully) near our Church, so I have to come up with 10,000 for the down-payment. But then I'm going to split it with people. Forrest and one or two other people. I think it's a good thing for me to set as a goal. I don't want to rent. It's like dumping your money into a black hole. You don't get anything out of it, other than a place to live for a while. I want to buy a house, so if and when I get married we can either rent it out, or live in it. I know my parents would like to have a house that they could rent out to people. This way I can be that much ahead. As long as real estate prices don't go up too much... But it's a very good time to be buying a house. I've been looking at several of the houses for sale around here, and I really like some of them. Unfortunately most of them would be beyond my price range, there are a couple. Of course I won't be buying any of these ones. I have to get a job, make some money and find one or two other people to split it with...

...................................................
Gah! I am super tired, my head hurts, and I was out late last night. Forrest and I went to a party on Friday. It was a blast. :) At first it was the regular awkward thing. I have to go through that phase at the beginning of every party. Where I just stand in the background and watch what everyone else is doing. But then Benny got there and I talked with him and Wesley about music for a bit. I spent the entire evening talking to people. I think that's an amazing way to spend an evening. It's so much fun when you're in the right crowd.
But yeah. Anyways, I can't think straight! :P I have this headache that I've had for two days now. *sigh* Certain things set it off. Usually getting hit in the head. *hem hem* I hope it's gone tomorrow...
There's this costume party coming up in a couple of weeks. Forrest is going as Tracer Bullet from Calvin and Hobbes, Elisa is going as Wednesday from the Addams Family, and I'm going as a gypsy. So far we have Elisa's dress, Forrest's hat, and my skirt.
I'll post more tomorrow hopefully-Love y'all-Shay |

<3 :D :) :0 =/ etc. etc. etc...
I don't know what to post about... *sigh* What should I post about? Blah.
Ooooo I forgot! Choir started last night!!! wOOt!!! *grins from ear to ear* I just LOVE choir. It's what makes Wednesday my second favorite day of the week. Sunday is my favorite of course. On Wednesday I get to see people, and have piano lessons, and sing in choir. :D And choir makes me very very happy. I love it when we start a song and you can hear it go from a tangled mess to an intertwining mix of the basses, tenors, altos, and sopranos. It's especially good when some of the parts get split up. I can't wait till the next practice. I find Wednesdays altogether agreeable. Especially since I get to go early. I love our Church building. Especially in the fall. :D :D :D I love, love, love choir and I love, love, love our Church building, and I love, love, love my Church family even though they can be a pain at times. :P
But in the fall, when the rain is falling and I'm sitting in the sanctuary or on the porch reading my book the Church is my favorite place ever. It's so familiar and comfortable. On Wednesdays I usually go up at like 4 and then I have two hours to just read, or think, or write in my journal and it's so relaxing.
Gah, I'm feeling hyper and weird. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. :)
So, I should stop typing now. I'm kind of blurry right now. :P :D :) <3
Goodnight ya'll! Love <3 Shay |
