i think its sad when the first thing your grandma says when you walk in the door is "honey, you look terrible!"

and then she tries to make you go wash your face because she thinks theres lots of makeup under your eyes, when really your just super tired because you just ran three miles in the pouring down rain, and you slept all the way to her house.  so then she comes up with this huge excuse about why you should wash your face, but the whole time she's saying how you always look beautiful, so she wants you to look beautiful when everyone else gets there. so then she takes you into the bathroom and makes you wash off all your make-up, and redo it. except she doesnt have the make-up you use, so you have to use your mom's makeup. and then you dont really like your mom's makeup, so your trying really hard not to get frustrated and scream at your grandmére. but its not working.

did i mention how sad that is?
so my turkey day wasnt the best one ever. i was really tired after the whole three mile run in the pouring down rain for charity event, and then i didnt get to take a nap, and then my grandma was being a total you-know-what about my make-up (WHICH ENDED UP BEING TOTALLY FINE, BECAUSE GUESS WHAT?! I WAS TIRED! go figure). my little sister tried to kill me a few times because apparently im not supposed to text when there's nothing else to do. my cousin whyatte kept trying to read the notes Ellie and i were passing. jared (who's nineteen, for the record. and weighs a ton) came and sat on me. and my legs went numb. like seriously. and he wouldnt get up. i was just sitting there like "Jerk.. x.x". then i didnt even really like the dinner, the only good thing about it was the seven layer salad. plus they had vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. but then my grandma decided we should all go outside and stand in the rain for twenty minutes to watch my grandpa's lightshow that he's been working on for christmas. why cant we just wait for christmas?! so we had to go stand out in the rain for a half an hour, because it went longer then he thought it would, and then he realized it didnt even do everything it was supposed to do, so he wanted us all to go watch it again. um. no. i went and hid in the back rooms.

so. theres alot more that i could complain about and i think its sad that on thanksgiving, i have more to complain about then all of the rest of the week. but it just wasnt a very good day. at all.

alright. so. im a bad person. we were supposed to be doing our history lesson today in school, and instead of doing it i was reading Waiting For You by Susane Colasanti. dont blame it on me, she's an amazing author and i can never put her books down. so. there. but then we were watching this video about Rome, and i was reading my book with a pillow over it so no one could tell, but my mom saw.. and she got mad at me. so i had to put it away.

alright. so. im a bad person. we were supposed to be doing our math lesson today in school, and instead of doing it i was texting. dont blame it on me, its the other persons fault and they wanted to talk. so. there. but then when we were switching subjects, i was texting with one hand and putting my book away with the other, and my mom saw.. and she got mad at me. so i had to put it away.

see how my day went?

its funny. i can always tell when things are gonna go wrong. oops.

so my life is pretty much a whole bunch of boring these days but i did get my camera back, if i havent already mentioned that. so ive been on crazy photographer mode. and ive been getting some really cool shots. i feel like a little kid in a candy store. its amazing.

i dont know what it is. its just like, i can express myself through photography in a way that i cant express myself any other way. and i hate seeing people who just take dead on shots of things. please, just turn your camera a little and take a different shot.

hmm. so i really hate school right now. at least today's the last day of school before thanksgiving break. which, by the way, im looking forward too. thanksgiving, not thanksgiving break. because Stu is coming from Seattle with his girlfriend Nicole (love them), Megan is coming down from Alaska for the week, Whyatte and Jake are coming from wherever it is they live, and Jared is going to be there instead of spending thanksgiving with his roommate. im thinking this is a good thing, but i dont really know. all i know is im way excited and i havent even thought about what im going to wear. and, um, thanksgiving is the day after tomorrow..

i cant believe how fast this year has flown by. but its been a good year, and its not over yet! im really hoping on going to church Christmas morning, spending New Years Eve at Lael's house.. fun times. cant wait.

i need to get out of bed. im starting to hate the fact that i have a laptop, which means i can just be anywhere in the house and be on the computer. that sucks.


did i just say that?

i think im going to go jogging today. since nicole's sick and so we cant go to the gym. i really need the gym. im having gym with-drawls. i dont even know how thats possible because for the past forever ive been complaining about how much i hate the gym. but apparently i dont, since im having with-drawls. weird how your brain works like that, huh?

i think everyone who reads this should switch their browser over to http://www.playlist.com and listen to Far Away by Nickelback. its the song that makes my day. everyday. 

oh, that quote that i posted way late last night, is amazing. haha. i just randomly started typing, and ended up with something along the lines of that, and then i just went back and fixed it because it made no sense. so once it made sense, i posted it. but its amazing. im kinda proud of myself.

this entry is getting long and full of nothingness. probably because its almost ten in the morning and im still lying in bed. hey, gimme a break. theres only two days left of school. i can do school tomorrow and wednesday if i choose too. or i could just go get it done now. i choose now.

all i want for christmas is you.

i might just pass out right now. oh my gosh im so tired. but its only because i was up all night watching the new star trek movie (which was amazing, btw) and then i had to get up early for church (which was amazing, btw), and then we played basketball and threw a frisbee around for like an hour and a half after church was over (which was amazing, btw). it was fun, though.

got to church, went out to the basketball court, and there he was. all the gorgeousness that makes him.. <3 UM.. K, anyway. I got my hugs, and then we watched everybody play basketball for like a half an hour. and we listened to Nickelback, and pretty much just hung out. and then in the middle of church the pastor was like.. "okay, i want anyone ages 11-20 to come up and stand next to me" so we all did.. and then he asked us what we were thankful for, and so in front of the whole congregation we had to tell him what we were thankful for. isaiah decided to crack a joke, so he was all "im thankful for you.", to the pastor. which made everyone laugh. i just said i was thankful for my family, because they're always there for me. so then he let us sit down, and we went back to whatever we were doing, and lael goes "im thankful for you" and it made me happy(: and then after church there was choir practice so we all just went back to the basketball court. and i didnt get home until like fifteen minutes ago, because choir practice ran longer then they thought it would. but i got to stay with shane, austin, allee, and bethany. and we just basically hung out and played basketball and threw a frisbee around for an hour and a half. and then it started pouring down rain, so we just went out and stood in it.. hah. life is good.

seriously though. i have so much to be thankful for. i have a roof over my head, i have food and water, i have clothes, i have a bed, i have family, i have friends, i have someone that truly cares about me and doesnt treat me like crap.. this has been a really good year. and im really thankful for that.

(*comment with what your thankful for?(: )

last day of friday school was today. it was a good day, though. sam and i were trying to make the last day of friday school the best day of friday school. and we did! well, we tried. i think we succeeded.

calligraphy went pretty good, Mrs. L just let us hang out and pretty much do whatever because it was the last day and she didnt really prepare to bring anything, so she was just like "today you can do anything you want.. just dont mess up the classroom, or leave the classroom." so thats what we did.
and in web design i think i finally learned how to set up my website at home without the help of Jay, which is a good thing. because i was doubting that i would ever be able to figure it out and get it up and running.. but i did. mmmmhm. are you proud of me? im proud of myself. but we got out of web design late because my website suddenly like died and i had to get it all back up and running again and it took like twenty minutes, and plus the rest of the class was having trouble with their websites. so.. we got out like fifteen minutes late and the next class that was waiting for the room was mad at us. but whatever!
and in writer's workshop i showed up late, and with a donut in my hand, so the class wasnt very happy with me. but it was fun, and i got to learn alot about the people in the class that i didnt really know before. good thing? bad thing? i dont really know yet. but i got email addresses and phone numbers and addresses for snail mail, text, and email(: so thats something to be happy about.

but the rest of the day is going to suck. i havent been feeling good, and my computer keeps acting up ever since i downloaded some stupid thing called Oovoo that's supposed to be like chatting back and forth on a webcam - webchat. sorry. forgot. but like, i downloaded it before and then it messed up my computer and so i uninstalled it, but then i forgot and installed it again.. see how my brain works? um. yeah.

okay, so i was looking through the book of lists for teens by sandra and harry choron on my way home from awana tonight, while i was sitting in the parking lot at the firestation waiting for my dad to come out and say goodnight, and i found this, and it made me happy.

10 signs that its real love

1. you get butterflies in your stomach when you see eachother
2. you spend almost all of your time thinking about eachother
3. being alone together makes you happy
4. stupid love songs dont seem so stupid
5. your relationship is a priority in both your lives
6. you cant bear to watch eachother flirt with anyone else
7. you cant bear to see eachother in pain
8. the attachment you feel for eachother is more than physical
9. you cant imagine the future without eachother
10. you each get excited when you talk to eachother.

42 absolutely useless facts (actually only a couple because im not typing out all of them)

1. rubber bands last longer when refridgerated
2. peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite.
4. there are two ways to make change for a dollar.
7. Mel Blanc (the voice of Bugs Bunny) was allergic to carrots.
8. a shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.
9. there are more chickens then people in the world.
13. Shapkespear invented the words "assassination" and "bump."
15. if you keep a goldfish in a darkroom, it will eventually turn white.
21. an ostrich's  eye is bigger than its brain.
28. a dragonfly has a lifespan of 24 hours (poor dragonflies :()
33. a goldfish has the memory span of 3 seconds.
41. Donald Duck comics were banned in Finland because Donald doesnt wear pants.

some words about words


1. "Typewriter" is the longest word that can be made using the letters on only one row of the keyboard.
2. "Go" is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
3. no word in English ryhmes with "Orange", "silver", "purple", or "month"
5. The sentance "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter in the alphabet.
12. the longest once syllable word in the English language is "Screeched"

i havent written anything in like, forever. and if your commenting on my posts and im not replying, shoot me a message or email or something because HSB stopped sending me notifications when i get new comments. anybody know how to fix that problem? because i dont.

im pretty much ready for a jog or something. its almost two and all ive done is school, and had an hour long chat on youtube with this really amazing person. heh. and i have to help at awana tonight.. it really wasnt as bad as i thought it would be last week, so it'll probably be fine. and ill be able to see kassi! which im looking forward too because i didnt get to see her yesterday.. cause she ditched on us for a group meeting instead of coming to youthgroup.

which by the way, was fun. youthgroup, i mean. i talked to kala alot. like about how stupid some guys are and how some people need to like get a life because making other people feel bad about themselves doesnt make them cooool. and then i just hung out with jared and russ for awhile. which was kinda weird. and when jay showed up hannah and i made a b-line for the door, but hannah forgot to actually open the door.. so she just ran right into it. and then jay caught up to us. so i think we failed.

im taking random facebook quizzes.. heh.

what kind of boys are you attracted to?: your a crazy girl and go for the wild boys.(:

what kind of guy falls for you?: He's the type of guy that always hold your hand, kisses your cheek, and gives you flowers. He tells you your beautiful when you know your not because your in sweats and no makeup. You love him for that.

what do guys see in you?: They love your sense of adventure. They know that when they are with you they will always have a good time. Your outgoing attitude puts a smile on their face every time their near you. They love that you are true to yourself.

whats your love story?: he or she may be a jerk or badboy/girl in the beginning but you will pull them out of it teaching them the true meaning of love and while your time together may be short you will love more then most people love in a life time

k. that was sappy. bai(:

okay. so at church today, we got there.. and i was just standing around because bethany wasnt there and the boys were out playing basketball and it was only 36 degrees outside so there was no way i was going out there, and i glanced over at the door for some odd reason.. and i see this guy. and he looks really familiar and i know i know who he is, and he's wearing the same sweatshirt i saw him last in.. and its those eyes. those eyes. i recognized those eyes. and then i went running. aha. and gave him a hug.

im so happy.
it was billy.

but yeah it was amazing and im really glad he was there because i hadnt seen him since like august forth at national night out, and i missed him. and then he just randomly showed up with kaylen and surprised everybody.. so yeah.

its cold. but im like all wrapped up in my new revolve sweater and im gonna go put my sweatpants back on and probably watch some girly movie or something and savor this last bit of happiness i have until next sunday.

today was reeaaallly slow. and i wasnt even outside most of the time. which is weird, because im always outside with lael watching everybody play basketball before and after church.. i was really tired, though. because you know, ive been at revolve all weekend and getting up early the morning after you were up late screaming out stellar kart music never goes well.

but im happy because today is my favorite day of the week for so many reasons, and today was really amazing because i got to see the person that makes it so amazing, and even though i didnt get to do the things i usually do on sunday, it was still great to be able to get up and know that i was going to be happy today.

i love that feeling.

i love you.

UM TODAY WAS AMAZING. we got to meet all these amazing people and it was like the first day of the concert soooo we got to see everybody we knew and stuff.. haha, and we're staying at the revolve hotel with like three hundred other girls, and the whole revolve crew (like including stellar kart and britt nicole!) are on floor 15, and we're on floor 13. and its amazing! and we were going down to the lobby at like midnight to get something to eat, and these girls came up to us and they were like "OMG YOU GUYS CHAD EASTHAM AND AUSTIN GUTWEIN ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THOSE DOORS! AND BRITT NICOLE JUST TOTALLY WALKED DOWN THE HALL! THIS IS FUDGING AMAZING!"
 
janelle just spilt chex mix all over the floor of the hotel room.. :D good times.

In the end it doesn't really matter. When you like someone, you dont like them because they fit into your perfect little image. You like them for who they are and how they treat you. You don't care if they have curly or straight hair, if there's short or tall, black or white, glasses or not. It doesn't matter when you like someone. When you find that person you will forget about your ideal boyfriend and like that person for what THEY look like and what THEY are like.

ive made a mental note to go upstairs and get out all the old photos, and upload them to the computer. or at least go through them. everybody on facebook seems to be doing that, (even my mom) and i havent even started yet. but i will! eventually.

frankie and shelby came with me to youthgroup last night. fun times. haha no seriously it was a ton of fun. and we played all these random games and kyle (the guy we met at the store) was there. which was awesome. and i got hugs, and we just basically got to hang out and have fun. which was amazing. i needed that.

now im just sitting around, listening to john mayer. havent texted very much today. its actually been a weird day. i got up, took a shower, had breakfast, watched like a gazillion episodes of iCarly, and now my mom's best friend is over and we're going to bake cookies or something. but im like way out of it.

i need a hair cut, revolve is the day after tomorrow, im in the need of some icecream in our freezer, i need a new phone.. ugh.

i would like to point out that boys are so stupid sometimes and they really honestly dont get it. and they're so weird and hard to figure out and they get mad at you for the stupidest things and then act like your best friend three minutes later. um, what is this? the world is screwed.

"I was drunk when I thought that we should date. Now im sober and ink does not erase. You don’t owe me a **** thing. Call me up but I cut off all the strings. Cause Im done with living hours that feel like days."

okay, i would just like to point out that if you comment, im going to take awhile to reply. because HSB doesnt send me notifications anymore when i get new comments. :(

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT REVOLVE IS ON FRIDAY!!!!!!
which means im going to be staying in a hotel with room service and icecream and a ton of other Stellar Kart fans, and JANELLE. and my mommy. and we're going to be going to a two day long all girl concert and its going to be completely amazing and i cannot wait. im really really way excited. and i wish my camera was fixed because now i have to use my mom's, and her's isn't as amazing as mine. and its sad.. sad day. but anyway. yeah. I GET TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH JANELLE. im way excited. ahhhhh

so yea. just thought i'd let you know.

oh, and i didnt get up until noon today. and didnt eat lunch until two. and then im going to take a shower and get ready for youthgroup, which is in like a few hours, and then im going to come home and crash. because im beyond tired again and i have no freaking idea why because unlike usual , i went to bed at a decent time last night. wanna know why? because i was tired. so i actually went to bed. amazing how that works, huh? but i didnt get much sleep cause i kept waking up at weird times and then my dreams were like really odd.. hey, did you know that if you dream about someone, its because they fell asleep thinking about you? i think that'd be kind of cool.

i really like thinking about the concept that a guy might be madly in love with a girl, but he wont tell her because he thinks his friends will make fun of him, and he thinks she wouldnt understand, or he thinks that it would never work out between him. and so he just sits around and waits for the girl to fall in love with him, back. but she never will, because she's already wrapped up in this other guy that she's crazy about. but this guy, thats so madly in love with her, texts her all the time. but they can never keep up a normal conversation because he's so madly in love with her that he cant think straight whenever he talks to her. and so eventually they just stop talking because she thinks its kind of weird. but he's still way in love with her. but he never does anything about it.
k, do something about it. because i just realized that living life thinking that someone will make fun of you, or tease you, or not talk to you anymore if you do something, isn't the right way to live. you need to get off your sorry butt and go do what you want to do. its not about what other people think about you. its what you think about yourself. take chances, make mistakes, get hurt, be crazy, break rules, do things you shouldnt. forget about what anybody else says or thinks about you because in the end its your life your going to look back on when your 80 and in the old people home, wondering why you lived life like you did.

get a grip.
live.

today was cookie baking day at carolyn's! well, and the gym. but the stuff i did at the gym wasnt much of a help to me today because then i went to carolyn's and put back in my stomach everything i worked off at the gym. which kind of sucks because for the past few days ive really been trying to loooooose that. UGH.

but anyway, yeah. went to carolyn's house. made like A TON of fudge, and cookies, and cake, and pie, and stuff. allll for the holidays except for like one batch that we got to eat and we got to bring home to eat because the rest is for Christmas and Thanksgiving and stuff. umm.. i dont really see how thats fair. i put my sweat and tears into making those delicious treats and now everytime i look in the freezer i have to be reminded of the fact that i cant eat them. WHAT IS THIS? the world is so unjust.

well. i just got a text from my mom saying 'dinner'. so i think thats the hint that i need to get my butt off the computer and go eat dinner.

later.

im so tired again. like im unbelievably tired. but thats probably because nicole had a 7:50am game this morning in Vancouver so we had to get up at like.. 6 to get there in time. and i was up ALL night reading When It Happens by Susan Colasanti. best. book. ever. like seriously ive been taking it everywhere so i have it to read if something happens like. i get bored..

i keep thinking its like almost 3pm-ish. but its not even noon yet. that's the only good part about getting up early - the day lasts longer. but i only like that when i have nothing to do in the day. like by the time we get done with nicole's next soccer game today is going to be dark, and ill be way beyond tired and ready to crash, and then i have to get up early for church tomorrow, and then im gonna be at church until like.. four. because we're having the harvest dinner and im going to stay as long as i possibly can =)

but yeah. i need sleep. i was trying to watch iCarly a few minutes ago, but i kept nodding off, and so i decided to come and check my email.. but i can barely keep my eyes open. AND ITS NOT EVEN NOON. what is this? ugh.

and the rain is driving me crazy. i wish it was sunny again. like honestly, i know i complained about the heat and i wanted the sun to leave and the heat to go with it, but now its just like.. come back amazing summer days =(

everything about Summer 2009 changed my life.
