Quote Of The Day...

"I envy people who have bad hair days, because I have a bad hair life." --Weird Al Yankovich

I feel your pain, Weird Al, I feel your pain.

Writer's Block

I have a serious case of it, and it's horrible. I've been sitting at this computer for 30 minutes, with my fingers on the keyboard trying to think of something to write about. Why is it that I come up with all of my ideas when I don't have access to a computer? It's ridiculous!

Yesterday was my little brother, Ben's annual spring program for his school. I'll say, it was very good. I really enjoyed it, all the kids did a really good job! It's always a lot of fun to see him perform, he gets so much joy out of it and he's always so proud of himself. It really is a blast, for him and for me.

Since I don't know what else to include in this post, I must say goodbye(:

Cuff 'Em And Stuff 'Em

So, today I recieved a phone call from my friend, Darcy. Nothing out of the ordinary there, she just wanted to know if I wanted to go for a walk. This is very common because we live very close to each other, so walking around downtown is one of our favorite things to do. After almost two hours, she needed to go home. As I was walking back to my house, I decided I'd better cross the road. So I'm standing on the side of the road, watching the cars pass, and waiting for the opportunity to run across.

A car flies around the corner, and the first thing I notice is it's swerving all over the road, and it's coming right at me. The first thing I think to do is run backward, into some guys yard. It didn't hit me (thank goodness), but a part flew off of it that almost hit me, and if I wouldn't have run into the yard, it would have hit me. As the car was speeding away, I noticed it was missing one of it's back tires. I thought it was very strange, and I was almost in tears because of what a close call it was.

Eventually, I get the nerve to cross the street again and continue walking. Up ahead of me, I see a police car parked and a police man was speaking to a woman who was standing outside of her minivan, and a part of the car was next to her too. I didn't exactly hear what she said, but she was basically just telling the policeman about this car. She had a few police cars around her, so I think it might have hit her, and I think she said it did but I don't really remember her words.

Once I get home, I tell my mom the whole story and she dialed for the police, talked to some lady for a miute, then handed me the phone. Turns out, they already arrested this person. Pretty crazy, huh? I don't know exactly what happened, but I thought that was pretty insane!

Random Thoughts(:

So I've been trying to think of a creative name for my blog, and it's very hard. I want something creative, but personal. I've got some ideas, but I'm still thinking about it. It's a big decision, you know. I'd kind of prefer not to have my name as the title, that's so boring!

Here at school they've just been swamping us with projects. It's crazy! My problem is I tend to procrastinate, but here lately I've been doing way better. It seems like the eighth grade teachers are really trying to get the point across that we're going to be in high school soon. Oh, high school. Scary. Very, very scary to me. At the same time, though, it's so exciting. There's plenty of reasons to be excited for high school, but I'm still afraid. I guess I just have a highschoolophobia. Yeah, that's right. I used a big smart person word.

My friend Claire no longer goes to my school. It really just isn't the same. She brought something to my group of friends, and you couldn't help but be happy around her. I wish her the best, though!

I just love having fast internet here! It's just like heaven at my fingertips. You see, at my house we have dial-up. It works, and gets the job done, but it takes a whole lot longer to do so. It's what I like to call no-speed internet, as opposed to high speed. I'm not complaining, I'm very grateful to even have internet in the first place. By far this is the best though, once you get past the blocks on Facebook and Myspace. It's so nice to be able to be able to blog from school. So much fun! I have to log off now, though. Have a good day!

Psh, Twitter.

Can somebody please tell me what's so wonderful about Twitter? Please? It makes absolutely no sense. Go online, type in what you're doing? I seriously don't get it. People were telling me how "terrific and wonderful" it is, so I go and make an account. Twitter is not terrific nor wonderful.

Have a good Monday!

A Worm For Books...

So if you know me well, you know that I read a lot. A lot. In the summer especially. I know, I'm a total and complete dork, but I can't help it. Here lately I haven't had much time at all for reading. Between school, and school, and school, and homework, and school, my days have been slam packed. I know, it's crazy, I've been too busy with school to read! How nuts is that? I started a really, really, really good book a few months ago called "Ida B". It is the saddest book I have ever read, hands down. What's really funny though, is that it's a book meant for 5th grade kids. I'm in 8th grade. Don't let that fool you though, it really is a good book, one of my new favorites. I finished it today (finally). Whelp, there's my thoughts for the day!

Summer

I'm so excited for summer. I haven't been able to get it off my mind, I am just so excited. School's okay, but summer's way better. I can't wait for the warm weather, and the long sunny days at the lake, the Fourth of July, hanging out at the beach, walking downtown with my friends, venturing throught the woods all day, hanging out with my cousins, and all the other fun things that come with that special time of year. I can't wait to sleep in every day and stay up as late as I want, and most of all: No Homework. So exciting!!

Memory Check-up

I have been in choir for four years and I have always loved it. This year things changed a lot, and I mean a LOT. I got a new teacher, who I can't say I'm a big fan of. She doesn't seem to like me very much either. We aren't buddies, that's one thing for sure. I can't blame her really, but I really just don't like choir anymore. It's just not fun for me anymore, so I'm not going to continue with choir throughout high school. This will be my last year. Now here's where it gets funny: Yesterday we had a choir concert scheduled for 7:00 pm. The eighth graders were supposed to be on the stage at 6:15. I remembered, of course..but then I forgot. So I'm on Facebook, just having a good ol' time, you know, enjoying myself. I read a status that says something about the choir concert. "Oh yeah, that's tonight. 6:15," I think to myself. "Mom, I just remembered I have a choir concert tonight."
"Oh yeah..what time?"
I look at the clock and what does it say? 6:20. Uhh...FIVE MINUTES AGO!!!
I'll have you know I did go to the concert, I was a little late, and I got a stern look, but I did go.

A Good Friend Of Mine..

There's this amazing girl who just started going to my school this year. Her name? It's Claire. Sometimes she spells it with a K, and sometimes with a Q. She is one of the coolest, nicest, most thoughtful and kind-hearted people I have ever met in my life. Over the past few months, we have grown fairly close, and she is now one of my best friends. A week or two ago, she told me her mom had a job interview in Pennsylvania. She got the job. Claire will be moving in two weeks. When she told me this, I almost cried. Okay, I cried. I am going to miss her sooooo much, and I know everybody else will too. She is so easy to like, and people love to be around her. She's just so bright and sunshiney. Claire is a total fashion fiend, and she's really good with makeup too. It's so fun to go to her house and get a makeover. She's a wonderful listener, and really tries to relate and help her friends. Claire will be missed a lot, but I know that she will instantly make new friends just like she did here.

Go ahead and visit her blog, I know you'll just adore her!

I Love My Sister

She's so adorable(:

Those are my thoughts for the evening.

Kaylee

Please pray for my dear friend, Kaylee. I would type all about what is going on, but her personal life isn't mine to post on the internet. Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Too Much.

Yesterday I didn't get the opportunity to blog. I'm so sorry! I really wanted to, because I had the best idea. I asked my mom if I could go to my friend Alex's house on Tuesday, and we had to work it out so that I came home before my brother went to bed. You see, Ben, my brother, is 11 but he is also deaf. He cannot stay home alone while he is sleeping because if there is a fire, he cannot hear the fire alarm. That's when the wonderful idea struck me. What if there was something that he could strap to his wrist when he was sleeping, something that was connected to the rest of the fire alarms, and vibrated when one of them went off. This could be used whenever he slept, not only when he's home alone. When you think about it, if there's a fire, you don't know what's going to happen. Would my mom or I really be able to wake him up even if we were home? It's the perfect idea. I'm going to invent it.

Now another thing on my mind:
In the last week or two, my class has been doing all sorts of career research for high school. It stresses me out to no end. I've thought over and over again about what I want to do. I decided last year that I wanted to be a nurse, and that was that. Now, they have me making second guesses, thinking every little thing through and it's really hard! I'm not sure what I want to do, but I have thought about it a lot.

I would love being a nurse, I think. You see, I love helping out people, and science and medical stuff fascinate me. The problem is, I do have other options. Things that I have thought out too, and they also seem like good career choices.

I had to take a career test, and it gave me 100 ideas for good career choices, and I saw a few that really stuck out to me. Interior Designer. Architectural Color Designer. Make-up Artist. Don't worry, I'm not going to be a make-up artist. I just thought it sounded cool, but--no way. These things both sound really cool, but the thing is, I'm not sure if I would do very well in this. These kind of jobs go up and down with the economy, people aren't going to go and remodel their home when they aren't sure if they'll even be able to afford their house next month. Still stuck.

Here's where things get interesting.

Last night I went to a youth group I've never gone to before. I was absolutely blown away. That sermon did things for me, and I'm not sure if anybody else could understand how I was feeling last night. The guy preaching was goofy, but he also really opened my eyes. He was telling the story of how he got on the road he's on, and how he became a Christian. It was seriously miraculous, the way it happened. I'm not going to go into detail, but he helped so many people and the whole time I'm just thinking to my self..Man, I really want in on this.

I would love going into the Ministry full time. That could just be the best thing in the world. I would love to change lives the way this guy did, I would love to speak in front of people with the same excitement for God, I would love to do exactly what he does every day.

I don't know what I'm going to do with my life, but I do have some ideas.

Random Writings(:

I have figured out why I enjoy my blogging hobby so much (Did I spell hobby right?). The internet is the only real place I can be as random and crazy as I want and spill out my thoughts without being judged. I don't know who reads my blog, or who really cares, but I really enjoy it. I love it! The person that got me into blogging though, I have to give her credit. She is one of the most amazing writers in the whole wide world, and I am seriously jealous. If you for some reason don't believe me, or you would like to find out yourself, just click here and it'll take you right to her wonderful blog.
I absolutely love blogging, and I used to have a different one, but it eventually just became a pain to keep up with it, so I started a new one. A simpler and less confusing one. However, I would love to upload pictures, but I can't from school. There will be some up eventually, I pinky promise. I mean that, if I could be face to face with you our pinkies would be joined together, but unfortunately I cannot see your beautiful face right now, or your beautiful fingers. Shameful, I know.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

I'm very sorry I haven't updated in a while, I really am.
I'm currently in the computer lab at my school, and we have free time. Woohoo! I don't know what I would do without the computer lab. My computer at home is incredibly slow and I can never do anything with it, so this lab saves my life. Here lately, things have been wonderful. I miss Sydney, my adorable baby sister, terribly. I'm going to get to see her tommorow though, and I'm so excited. I haven't updated in so long that I don't even know where to begin. So here's to a new beggining, Blogger!
