My life's philosophy should be don't get stuck in a fish bowl.
I'm serious. If you get stuck in a fish bowl, good luck getting out. The walls are glass, and wet, and no doubt slippery. And they're curved so if you even do have the great fortune to be able to climb up the slick walls (say your a lizard, like Corbin at internship) you most likely would not be able to get over that top lip because you'd be hanging upside down like a spider monkey.
And then, another reason you wouldn't want to get stuck in a fish bowl is the horrid real estate. It's like trying to find a house in New York, or wanting to buy a house in Montana. There's just no chance. So if you do get stuck in a fish bowl, you would probably end up homeless, wandering the pebbles at night wondering if you can get to the top for some fish food.
Which by the way, most fish food is made from, yes, fish. Can I just say... ew?
Anyway... then, because you're a little lonely man (woman, whatever) you end up eating all the little food flakes that come to the bottom of the bowl and then you're considered a bottome feeder. A lowely term if I must say.
Then, lo' and behold, it gets even worse because- in a fish bowl- there is no such thing as a good hair day. You'll be walking around doing this whole 'halo of hair' thing. No, just no.
And humans can't breath under water anyway.
Like I said, it's not exactly wise to get stuck in a fish bowl.
And that was officially "Deep Thoughts From A Not-So-Deep Thinker".
This is why I'm called a "not-so-deep-thinker" because when I get to thinking deep, well, lets just say you don't want to be up-wind. A word to the wise.
And now, I think me saying "my life philosophy should be don't get stuck in a fish bowl."
THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!!!!
Now for some pearly wisdom because that's really the only thing that makes sense anymore... haha!!

• I was at the store today preparing for tomorrow and, since I went to work with my Dad today and was sanding wood, when I went to get something out of my eye and all this powder came off on my finger. Preatty strange, if I do say so my self.
• PARTAAAAY tomorrow..... that's life for ya!!!
• And how come they enter the laugh tracks on TV shows??? Aren't you supposed to kind of... KNOW when you want to laugh??
• Enough said (what a perfect saying. It totally just wraps everything up.) Enough said.

There's this thing in life called life.
It's really ironic how the little things we never take notice of even though they're right in front of our face, then we get all bent out of shape because it smacks us upside the head, when we were the ones not paying attention in the first place.
Honestly, it never ceases to amaze me.
And then I was reminded of my 5+ minute challenge I have wanted to perform since... forever. It all started two years ago (yeah, a whoppin' 2ago...) at Lake Powell. My dad and I were outside just walking around and we found this long line of ants. Like in the movie Bugs Life. Anyway, they were all walking in a straight line and it was just so perfect. So my dad and I (being the ant-bullies we are) decided to do an experiment. So we woul first drop leaves and stuff in their path. The ants (little muscle men) would band together and move the leaf out of the way and just keep on marching. Then we would drop sticks in their path. They would try to move these, but once they found it they were unable to, they would simply go over it to the other side. Then, we would drop a rock in their way. The ants would try to move this, but found that it was much too heavy. They would try to go over it, only to find that they couldn't climb up it because it was too hard. Then, when they really got to thinking, they would go around the rock and wind up on the origonal path.
I find these ants inspiring because of this: they never let the obstacle in their way keep them from their final destination. The ants could have given up, but they didn't. Why? Diligence.
There's a verse in the bible that stood out to me for the longest time:

Wow it feels like it's been... forever since I blogged. I'm serious, I'm practically an adult now... just kidding. I had my birthday though (AIEEEE!!!!) and I spent half of my birthday with Grace in the mountains!!! I had so so much fun with her!!! And Grace, I hope you read this, I am trying to find out how to send you the pictures but I'm just not that tech savvy! ha ha...
Now onto business... last night I had an odd dream that made remote sense but when I woke up I was still all "what the hey??"
Last night, before I went to bed, I watched Finding Nemo in celebration of my birthday... I really do love that movie. When I first saw it I cried and every time I see it, three parts make me teary eyed.
So what?
Now I'm older... but I feel the same age.... only I feel like I could do more now even though... no, I can't.
How about some pearly wisdom? I think I would like some...

• Sam-Sam (that cursed cat...) woke me up. She would jump on my bed, try to get on my night stand, so I would shove her off. Then she just kept doing it! Some time...
• I have really been thinking lately (a rare occurrence, I'm sure) and I was just like... hmm... how does one really pray? I mean, don't get me wrong, I pray a lot but it never seems right. So anyway... last night I was pondering this in my BIG WELL OF GREAT PONDERING and I really had no clue, so I just started talking. Lo and behold, while I sat talking in my BIG WELL OF GREAT PONDERING I got the answer... there is no specific way to pray. Everyone does it differently but the foundation is alwyways the same: we're pouring our hearts out to God. Just like you would talk to your best friend.
  
• By the way... my BIG WELL OF GREAT PONDERING is not an actual, you know, well. It's more like my bed. Same difference, am I right?
• Now for some pictures from the mountains (these are my favorite ones)

I'm really wracking my brain right now for something to say.
And I've turned up empty once again.
Shocker, I know.
But I've been looking at GOT MILK? posters and I realized what Emma finds so fascinating about them. I mean, they're pretty cool. I found a few that I liked And I put them below:


Anyway, there you go. I think the Mario one is my favorite, and just a little history lesson for you today: the one on the far right of the three ladies is the very first GOT MILK? ad! OK, well I found it really cool. Yes? No?
I leave today with Grace!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I have like, no clue what's going to happen, but I am very excited!!
Our family watched Back To The Future Part 3 last night, and I gotta tell you, I love those movies. Personally though, the first and third are my favorites. Hands down. And now, Michael J. Fox is my favorite male actor (i mean, he comes in second place behind Freddie Highmore, but he knocked Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp down a few notches.)
My fingers are still a wee bit sore from yesterday, and they're still totally rough and chewed up from yesterday. Now for some GREAT PEARLY WISDOM (emphasis on the great.)

• I was too lazy to dry my hair after my shower today... so it's still wet and I'm wondering if it will dry faster if I stand outside in the sun or stick my head in the oven for two seconds.... hmm...
• Morgan waxed her car last night and now it's all sparkly and shiny. But the entire time I couldn't stop thinking of Karate Kid... "wax on... wax off... wax on... wax off..."
• And last night my Mom was watering out hanging flower pots and the hose got pinched so my mom was inspecting the nozzle of the hose and I UN-pinched it and all this water went in her face.
• It was hilarious! (Though I did feel kind of bad that I hadn't been paying enough attention before I UN-pinched it.)
• LIFE LESSON: NEVER INSPECT THE MOUTH OF A HOSE IF THE WATER MAGICALLY STOPS RUNNING... YOUR CHILD MAY BE AT THE OTHER END WAITING FOR YOU TO GET SPRAYED WITH WATER...
• Enough said. Until next week...

Trip, Ace & Demo,

~Yours Truly (isn't this a pretty blue???)

So, me, being the little lady (lady being an over-estimate here) I am, I am not going to a cool wedding and dancing with my family this weekend.
A've actually only ever been to one wedding in my life, and it was probably the most mortifying thing in my life...
I was the flower girl, but I didn't know I was supposed to, you know, throw the petals. So me and Morgan (both flower girls) did this dramatic bow-thing where we set one petal down at a time after we took a step. Then, when we got to the alter, I thought all my petals were supposed to be gone so I dumped my basket out. Milky petals went floating to the capret in a big, silky pile.
Then, of course, since wedding ceremonies do get quite boring, I stuck the handle of my (now empty) flower basket in my mouth and started hitting my sister over the head with it... (well geez, she's my sister. Sue me.)
Then, in front of the guests, I decided to examin my undergarmets and lifted up my flowy dress (luckily I was wearing these little bloomer things)
So there's my experience. I was three though. I have an excuse.
Now, if I had, say, done that a few days ago at my aunts wedding, yeah, I think something would be wrong with that. (Don't even start thinking: Well, it's Sydney here, I don't know...) Ok, you're probably right.
And now I've decided my favorite pass-time is to look at bridal magazines and gowns.
Anyway, as I write this woeful (not so sure how woeful it is now because my little sister is howling on the floor holding her sides because I just read it to her) story, the house smells like little chicken Taquitos and my little tummy is making noises that should belong to a lion... NOT ME!!!
And this weekend (my birthday weekend AIEEE!!!!) I am going up to the mountains with Grace and her family!! I am so excited!! This is such a blessing and joy, I am extremely excited. Really floks, count your blessings.
And I'm glad to say that I helped contribute to Emma's ever-expanding GOT MILK? collection... she got one of her posters from my Housekeeping magazine (ok, so it was my mom's magazine, I still helped cut it out and find it.)
Then it's birthday on Sunday, party in the house (or Meltdown, whichever you prefer).
Before I go I would like to update you with a few Pearls of Pearly Wisdom:

• My poor little fingers turned into little raisins today when I took a shower. Why? Well, because, I was sanding a front desk for a hotel with my bare hands and sheets of sand paper, that's why. Now my fingers (on my right hand, mind you) are all scarred and cut up in little patches because of the sand paper.
• But why am I complaining? I got paid. So there's a plus.
• I had to scrub my legs twice to get all the dirt and gunk off.
• And I am leaving for the mountains tomorrow, tell me that's not a reason to celebrate.
• Exactly.
• Enough said.

Trip, Ace & Demo,

~Yours Truly

So judging by the title I would guess that you know where I'm going this weekend. Yup, to my cousins wedding and I'm going to have a blast! I love to dance with all of my family (Even thought I'm not that good).
So the plan for today is to go get my nails and toes done for the wedding and for my moms birthday which is today! Why are you getting your nails done on your moms birthday you ask? Because that was our gift to her and she wanted us to come too like the sweet mom she is.
Then tomorrow we are getting up a like 5 so we can get to the airport on time for our flight which is at 8. I'm bringing my lap top so it should be easy for me to get on as long as my mom lets me.
I got new curtains for my room and I know that it's not all that exiting but I think it is because whenever I get something new for my room it's just one of those times where you are really happy even though its not that big a deal. And I know that's how it is for you too so don't even try to deny it.
I'm going to try to put them up and even though I'm pretty good with that kind of think I'll still get some help so they don't end up being all lopsided and falling over.
I started to collect Got Milk? posters and now I have 10! I'm going to put up pictures of some of my favorites that I don't have but want to have.
Lastly I want to make some thank you's:

1. I would like to thank Sydney for allowing me to do this blog with her because it is so fun and I just love to do it!
2. I would like t thank all of my Friends and family for always being there for me when i need them.
3. And lastly I want to thank everyone who reads this blog and posts comments, we really appreciate it.

What's another word for Thesaurus? - Steven Wright

Sorry it's so big but the quote was so short I decided that I should just make it BIGGER. I know, lame right?

Wow I know that I shouldn't even be thinking about school let alone writing about it but I had to. We have like 4 weeks left of summer! Not even! I'm so sorry that I had to bring it up but I was just thinking... Anywho I agree with Sydney that July is weird dream month because I was taking a nap today (more on that later) And here is how my dream went.

As if my life doesn't have enough wango already... I got even more wango-y last night.

I'm having one of those rare good hair days where I don't have to style my hair because it's not laying down flat on my head or flying off in every possible direction trying to free itself from my scalpe.

And now onto the story I'm writing. It's even further along. BUT I had another weird dream last night. (It wasn't as weird as the night before, thank goodness, but still weird.)

I'm listening to this CD called NOW 29 that I got from the library and its actually pretty good! I went to Sydney's house and I had a great time! We saw Madagascar 2 and it was like the funniest movie like EVER. Ok not really but it was really funny. I'm now in love with these Miny deer called the Muntjac (Get it right Sydney!) and i will put a picture of the one that I want on cuz he is soooooooo cute!

1. SO today I went to the pool and it was really fun.


2. My friend has these flippers that go on your feet and I used them and it was the soooo fun! You go so much faster and it made me feel like I could beat Michel Phelps!


3. So today I finished the 3rd Maximum ride book so I will try to get that back to you Sydney by tomorrow. Because that's just how nice I am!


4. Also I am so proud of Sydney and her story that she is writing because it is so good and she has been working so hard on it!


5. This is my one time in this post where I will complain (I know I shouldn't complain at all but I couldn't resist.) I have weights again tomorrow and I still have gained zero muscle.
6. I uploaded Skype to my computer and it is amazing! (for those of you who dont know skype is a thing where you can use web cams to talk to people.) I talked to my aunt who lives in Illinois.
7. Ok that's it for me. I'm outta here-

Until next time!

Hello all you people! It's been a while, but this post gonna be just pearls of wisdom!

• I'm waiting to leave for drama right now. We're doing a comedy version of David and Goliath and I think it's probably the funniest thing I've ever done! Especially when I attack Jeremy...
• Yesterday I went to the pool with Grace and Emma was there and it was a lot of fun. However I had to leave early because my parents had this family thing we had to go to but we ended up getting lost and not going. Typical.
• So then we went and got pizza then went to see ICE AGE 2 DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS.
  
• It was a funny movie, made me laugh pretty hard. "This is not what I call comunication: I say I raised them vegetarian, you say grrrr..."
• Good times.
• Then, of course, I was all frusturated last night because I'm kind of confused at the moment and, not exactly everything's gone hay-wire but it kind of feels like.
• I seriously wished for my ex-therapist.
  
• But that ships been sailed so I just went to my heavenly therapist and was like: "God, I know I need to trust you, because you're my rock and my provider, and I know you give me everything I need, even the questions to my many answers. But I'm really frusterated and I have no clue what to do. I need your peace, and you boldness to rise above what makes me angry."
• So it's not Shakespeare, but it came from my heart and that's where it means the most. Am I right?
  
• I believe I am. It's kind of like when you get in a plane on a cloudy day. Your mood matches the sky and you don't want to fly. But then, through the rain, you rise up, up, up above the clouds, where the light shines through. and you realize, that there was a brighter side to things. You just couldn't see it until you got through the storm.
  
• That's what life is like.
  
• It's not one long poem, it's not a song or a movie. Life's life. And you can't change it. All you can do is buckle up and hold on for the ride.
• And try not to toss your cookies.
• Enough said.

I had a wonderful night last night, you have absolutely no idea! We saw Madagascar 2 and I thought it was the funniest movie ever!!!
That, plus, the miniature deer in the movie were totally worth it.
But I laughed so hard.
It was hilarious!!!
And then we had a sleepover and it was fun! I loved the night and it was totally worth it!

• Emma really wants one of those miniature deer now. They're called like, Mintja's or something. REALLY CUTE!!!
• They're like, $750 to $970 or something, kind of expensive if you ask me. But they're so CUTE!!!
• I was pretty disapointed today about something today. I won't share what. But as soon as I read those 4 words my heart dropped like a lead elevator and I was like "Oh..."
• Isn't it annoying how every once and a while life just comes up and slaps you in the face and you get all bent out of shape because it's life and it's never what you expected and then you want to cry and hit a wall at the same time.
  
• My blurb for the day.
• Yes that's still my word.
  
• But I am going to the pool today with Grace and that is totally something worth singing for!
• AND I have gotten really far in my book (It's called READ THIS BOOK BACKWARDS... a little sneak peek for all of you. Coming to a bookstore near you... )
• Well, I really don't know what to say right now because I'm a little confused right now. Sometimes I wish I could just call up God at 1-800-411-GOD and be like: "Why is this happening? What is going on? What is the purpose?" And I honestly wish he could answer back in a clear audible voice.
• But that's not the way things are. If God were to speak to me in a clear audible voice I think I would jump out of my skin. It would be WAY cool. But he doesn't. Life is one great Amazing classroom and we're the students learning from the most brilliant teacher in the world. Count your blessings.
• Enough said.

My sister just had a baby but they didn't tell me if it was a boy or a girl so I don't know if I'm an Aunt or an Uncle.

I am now convinced that July IS weird dream month. Write it down on your calenders. I had ANOTHER dream last night. And it was weird. Here goes:
I was in a room where everything was really distorted. Like when you look in one of those kaliadascopes. Anyway the room was like that. And I could hear a bunch of voices whispering all around me only I couldn't see anyone. So then I went up to this tiny door (invisible people still whispering) and it was kind of like Alice In Wonderland only the door opened up to a HUGE door that led outside and all I could see was a starry night sky. Then it zipped around and I was talking to a hairstylist about how to do my hair like Miley Cyrus.
It was weird (hence July being "Weird Dream Month"...
But I'm not sure weird dreams are due to eating two hours before I sleep. Because I actually was playing Jinn Rummy and Poker with my family two hours before bed. All I had was water...(I'm H2O intolerant HA-CHOO!!!) Sorry had a Nemo moment.
Anyway... I'm glad to hear my book is bringing forth emotion. I'm really trying. God has blessed me with fresh ideas and I am so happy. I couldn't have gotten this far on the book without him. He is truly so wonderful and He deserves all praise for the story!!!
And Emma... remember I get even days and you get odd days.... Did you forget? Or did we switch?? I don't even remember... watch, she's going to prove me wrong.

• Movie night tonight (AIEEEEEE!!!!)
• I'm not obsessed with facebook... Morgan is now... MWA-HAHAHAHA!!!!

I put up that title for a reason but I will have to get to that later or things might get confusing. My day was very long and tiring but it was also very fun and event full. So first I woke up at 6:30 so I could go to weights (By the way my biceps are so sore and I swear, I'm gaining NO muscle!). After weights was running and we did the park loop where you pass a numerous amount of parks the whole run. It was pretty fun actually. Then we did striders in the field where you take off your shoes and sprint but while you do you spread your legs and, well, stride! After, I went home and I got ready to go over to my friend Eliza's house. My other friend Maddie was there and we tie dyed shirts. Then we kind of got into a tie dye war so I have tie dye all over my legs, and that stuff does NOT come off! Then after, Eliza and I went to see Transformers and I totally agree with Sydney, it was great. And here is why I put up the title, in the movie one of the actors was was an Umpa Loompa in charlie and the chocolate factory! I'm also really exited for tomorrow because me and Sydney are going to see this move in the park or something. I think she said we were seeing Madagascar 2. And that should be really fun! And by the way Sydney you did the quote of the day on my day, That's ok though, no worries.

~A

Ok, so first things first... This is going to probably be a freakishly looooooong post. no joke. So buckle in and hold on for the ride and PLEASE try not to toss your cookies. (Alrighty... just got a mental image of what I just said... um... no thank you?)
Anyway.... Let me get one thing straight... I am NOT obsessed with facebook... Pretend it's a blog... Ok, you got that image in your head? It's like a blog I get on almost everyday much like this one! So hahaha!!!
Now for my day. I went to work with my father today and it was probably the most interesting work day of my LIFE... no joke. Anyway... so he runs these hotels and a whole bunch of buildings right? Well, they're redoing the fronts of the buildings and getting new awnings. So what job do me Morgan and Ryan land? Steel Wooling the metal rails that hold up the awning so they can be painted. During this funny little job I got Steel Wool in my eyes twice. NOT a fun experience! Then, With all the metal-saw-dust flying around from our handy work I got that ALLOVER my clothes and in my eyes. (I'm seriously beginning to think my eyes are accident prone... (thoughts?) Anyway... so everyone was laughing at me and Morgan because we were SOOOOO dirty! Then I got to hose off all the awning (a harder job than it may seem) and i got all wet and dirty from all the dirt (now mud) falling on me from the awning. Then we taped up around the rails so we wouldn't get paint on the buildings. Needless to say I was FILTHY!!! It was fun though and whats life without getting dirty????
Enough about my day.... I'm really starting to think July should be called "Weird Dream Month"... Lovely Leah's not the only one having freaky dreams, I'm feeling the vibe too. Last night I had the strangest dream ever and it kind of creeped me out. So I was at work with my dad and there was this lady who had this scary book with her. It was about spiders eating people inside out. Anyway it really freaked me out because she said it was real (now remember... this was a dream and in dreams EVERYTHING seems real... so I was legitly scared out of my britches) Then, my math teacher was there with his PT Cruiser (no idea if he actualy HAS a PT Cruiser... I'll ask.) And it was up on a bunch of boards. Then I broke my leg and my dad put a neon green cast on it... BACKWARDS. So then my uncle just turned my whole leg around. Weird??
And if that's not bad enough my dream from two nights ago was sooo weird. Like I woke up and was like: "Whoa...I am really starting to fall off my rocker."
So I had dreams about kissing. No joke. Kissing. Like, not just people kissing but fish and turtles and walruses and horses and ducks and swans. Things kissing. It was odd. Very odd. I thought I was losing my mind.
Maybe it's from my lack of sleep lately???
And for those of you who don't know, I have dubbed July "CELEBRATE EVERY DAY MONTH"... so there it is... out on the plate for ya. Basically, find a reason to celebrate every day and thank God for it because - no matter what - there's a reason to celebrate every day!!!!
There are only 10 more days until my birthday. 10!!!! I am sooo excited!!!
And, I think July is my life changing month. This month, for more reasons than one, I have been drawn closer to God. I've been fighting for that faith that's mine and it has been spectacular. Everyday I'm reading a chapter or two from my bible, praying, doing a devotional. And I realized it doesn't even take that long! Probably 20 minutes TOPS... and I do it right before bed now. (Every teenagers up until like midnight doing nothing anyway right? Why not make something of it??) Anyway... I just wanted everyone to know about my decision and how much it means to me because it's changed my outlook on a lot of things.
I still think certain guys are cute. There is NOTHING wrong with that...

• Tomorrow night is movie night... ready, set... action?
• I want to fall asleep EASY tonight. None of that i-pod-listening-writing-humming-myself to-sleep-junk. Real legit sleep FAST...
• I am freakishly far in my book. I am SO PROUD OF MYSELF. That, to me, is a major accomplishment!!!!
• I've only upped my reading score one book... Am I a slacker or am I a slacker??

If you didn't notice already i usually do my posts late at night. Like right now for instance its 11:43. I don't like to do them in the middle of the day because it makes me feel like then the next day I have to also tell about the last night. It's kind like a recap of my day when I do it at night. So here is todays story.

1. My entire family slept in really late because of being up so late last night. My sister slept till 1:30. IN THE AFTERNOON! So my dad was all like "Lets get out of the house." because all we were doing was sitting around.
2. We decided to go to Kobel library and then to hobby Lobby to get some tie dyeing stuff and to get some picture frames.
3. We are half way to the library when my dad decides that we should actually go to the new library. So I was like, well the new library it that way (points over her shoulder) So he's like "Look at you telling me where to go!" (Says sarcastically) So i was like "Maybe i should tell you how to get there to" so i told him how to get there just for fun.
4. But nooooooo, that isn't enough for him. He also wants to know what street we are on and weather it is running east and west or north and south. So I tell him and he seems satisfied.
5. When we were t the library (Which was like 3 days old) there were barley any people there. And the one book in the entire library that i want is already checked out. I mean come on! The library's barley a week old!
6. So i find some CD's instead and we check out all of our books and leave. Then my sister and i fight about whats song to listen to and we go into a yarn shop to try to find something for my moms birthday yada yada yada.
7. At hobby lobby I get stuff so me and two friend can tie dye and I realize I don't have my phone.
8. So i search the car and i cant find it so we decide to go back to the library and sure enough, as soon as i walk in the guy was like "Did you loose something?'' So I told him and I got my phone and we were off.
9. Then since I skipped running this morning I went running had some ice cream and that was that.

Hope your day was good too!

~A

I'm really frusterated right now because my computer is not accepting my little hook up from my camera so I'm unable to post photos :(
Anyway... that's like, the highlight of my day...

• Last night I had the worst time falling asleep EVER. No idea why I just would not fall asleep.
• Now I'm in that mellow zombie-like state that makes you seem awake but at the same time you're kind of not. Then, at the same exact time you get all hyper and everyone is like: Whoa... hey... whats wrong with her??
• I know it's pretty sad
  
• I'm glad Emma and Danielle liked Harry Potter... I was awake while they were at the theater listening to my i-pod...
• I would like to blame my lack of sleep on my pillows, or my hair getting in my face, or Morgan. But there really is no reason because I've had my pillows since I was 2 (no joke) and I've lived with my hair FOREVER...
• I guess it's just one of those days!!!
  
• This morning I listened to my i-pod on shuffle and totally abandoned my hair because I just was NOT in the mood to fix it! So now it looks like a cross between a porcupine, rebid squirrel and a swan.
  
• I think it looks pretty good actually, but that's just me. I mean, good for looking at it and going: "Bah, it's what's on the inside that matters."
• Last night me, Zach and Audrey jumped on the trampoline while my Mom took pictures of us. It was pretty cool. I got this really cool one where I'm in mid air doing waving only some of my fingers are cut off. I think it looks pretty funny!
• Enough said... everyone have a fabulous day!

I just got home from harry potter like... 30 min. ago and right now it is 4am. it was amazing, stupendous, spectacular, jubilant (Whatever that means), great, and jaw dropping!!!! I'm running off of the 48oz of coke i had and i think I'm about to crash.

Sorry but Sydney and i are just really into the whole maximum ride thing these days!

• Gazzy: "What does that mean?" (points to metal plaque that says 'Stay off the third rail!')
  
• Fang: "It means the third rail has seven hundred volts of direct current running through it. Touch it and you're human popcorn.

Hello fellow earthlings :) WHO IS SUPER PUMPED FOR HARRY POTTER!!!! ME!!!! NOT SYDNEY!!!

Ok, so this is both bloggers... and we're like, bored. Just to let you readers know, we decided that, instead of the question of the day, we would do the quote of the day... (this is just because apparently I'm now pea brained and am no longer able to think up questions of the day) That was Emma's idea... NOT MINE!!! JK LOL Smiley Face :)

Just a few seconds ago we were both on facebook (what a pointless-strange-confusing-endeavor that is) talking to eachother even though we were sitting RIGHT NEXT TO EACHOTHER!!!

• Sydney is "obsessed" with facebook now even though she won't admit it..... ~EMMA
• I really think that depends on what your definition of "obsessed" really is. If you mean infatuated then you ar WAY off your rocker.... I think maybe-a-little-fun-to-get-on-every-day is the correct term. ~Sydney
• YOU DONT EVEN GET ON THE BLOG EVERY DAY! jk i dont either, but still, she will end up beeing one of those people who is on 24-7, take kylie for instance... ~EMMA
• Emma is the perfect example of a slacker... just kidding!!! (were best friends... we can do this) but I mean really, I would honestly NEVER abandon this blog!!! Where else in the world can I spill my thoughts and feelings??? ~Sydney
• ohhhhh sydney you are so cute! i love you too! ~EMMA
• SAY WHAT?!?!?!??!! I think Emma's on Valium (sorry... Maximum Ride on the brain!!) ~Sydney
• Enough Said...

Trip, Ace & Demo,

~A&A

I didn't make a blog post yesterday and Emma found that... shocking? No idea why there... Oh well that's life. I got my facebook. I'm still a little bit confused on the whole concept. But it's fun... and pretty funny!!! My favorite thing about facebook is the whole access code thing. Here are some of the access codes I had to type:
candidly penon
fitt mess
snobs noun

Don't make life more complicated. Really.

• How come there's no such thing as canned water??
• I'm thinking, since my peeps are all going to see Harry Potter (whatever freakish number it is) together I will treat myself to a movie... I'm not sure which one... I'll get back to you on that!!!
• I'm sorry but I don't always see eye to eye with people. I'm one of those people who think they're always right then when I'm proved wrong I'm all like: "Uh, duh, totally saw that coming." Which I mean, really, is pathetic. Honestly. Anyway, I just thought about that because I was thinking about debates I've been in (and won might I add) and I was just like: wow, that's pretty sad.
• Emma will be proud of me; I got a ton of skittles for our secret candy stash.
• I'm wondering why number of followers on our blog hasn't gone up??? It was going up then BAM! no such luck... WHATS GOING ON?!?!?!?!
• It's quote time:

Is that not the greatest quote? Ok I'm just kidding there are so many quotes to pick a favorite one. Thats how it is with me anyway. Want to hear a few more? Ok here goes-

-Max (Thinking):In the dictionary, next to the word stress, there is a picture of a midsized mutant stuck inside a dog crate, wondering if her destiny is to be killed or to save the world. Okay, not really. But there should be. (Maximum Ride)

-ter Borcht: "Is dare anysing special about you? Anysing vorth saving?"
Fang: "Besides my Fashion Sense? I play a mean harmonica." (Maximum Ride)

Those two were for you Sydney, these are for all my Harry potter fans-

-"Yeah, Quirrell was a great teacher. There was just that minor drawback of him having lord Voldemoret sticking out of the back of his head."

-"You know your mother, Molfoy? The expression on her face- like shes got dung under her nose? Is she like that all the time or just because you were with her?"

-"Warrington's aim is so pathetic I'd be more worried if he was aiming for the person next to me."

-"Listening to the news! Again?"
"Yes well it changes everyday you see." said harry

Okay, just a few more from other places-

-It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

-Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

-The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

-Everybody wants to go to heaven; but nobody wants to die.

Quotes are so fun! I hope that you enjoyed them!

I know that I haven't been on in a really long time because I was camping and all and then I forgot yesterday so I'm doing it today!

1. For those of you who don't know I am a HUGE fan of harry potter and the movie comes out on the 15! Which is Wednesday!!!! I'm going to go see it at midnight on Tuesday and i am soooooo exited!!!!


2. Wow that was waaaaayyyy too many exclamation points but I am just so exited so it deserved that many.


3. Camping with my mom was AMAZING, I'm going to try to get some pictures up sooner or later, probably sooner. We went on some amazing hikes that were very difficult and one that was really easy. I had to go across this huge bank of snow and that was great because its like the middle of July.


4. On that same hike we ended up at this lake called Odessa lake. In it we could see a female trout tyring to lay her eggs and the male was protecting her from all of the other trout trying to get the eggs. It was really cool. I tried to catch on of them with my bare hands but that didn't work out very well. Those little suckers are just so darn fast!


5. The landscape all around the lake is just amazing and there is no way to describe the beauty of it so I will put up a picture.


6. I finished the first 2 Maximum ride books because I decided to reread them. All I need to do is find someone who will let me borrow the third... Sydney...


7. Today I went to a concert with my friend Eliza and it was soooooo cool! For those of you who like hard rock this is the concert for you! It wasn't exactly my sort of music, well some of it was, but still it was great. My head is still spinning from all of the head banging we did. Ok just kidding, about my head spinning. We really were head banging though.


8. We saw the band called All American Rejects and they were easily the best band there! They were AMAZING!


9. I decided to put streaks of color into my hair, not the kind that will stay there until my hair grows out, the ones that wash out in a few weeks. Just for a change. I wanted purple but since my hair is already dark someone suggested pink. I'm not sure that I want pink in my hair though.


10. Last but not least, Sydney if you don't call me soon then I will be forced to do the unthinkable and call you.

Harry Potters #1 Fan,

I've decided that I'm never going to be able to re-format the blog. I may be tech-savvy on a computer but when it comes to blogger I am just flat out clueless. Maybe Emma can help me figure it out. She did most of the blog stuff... so give her a round of applause.

• My drama week is almost over. I'm so depressed (no I do not need any counseling you over-zealous readers.) I just have really been loving the class. It's so fun and I love all the people and I wish we could stay together for the next few years.
• Well, enough on that.
• I'm seeing Transformers 2 tonight!!! I'm pretty excited because I heard the cinematography was incredible but it got a few bad reviews. It kind of upset me but I'm still going to see it. The first one was very good.
• I realized I listen the radio way way too much. I'm not even kidding. I listen to it quite often. It's like I always need a voice in my head When I'm reading I have the characters voices in my head, in movies... ditto. And then in drama and again on the radio and my i-pod It's crazy. Oh well. I love it anyway.
• Right now I'm wondering if I can shoot a rubberband across the room and knock over a vase. I don't know... I think it would be cool.
• Now I want to do it.
• WHEN IS EMMA COMING BACK?!?!?! It is driving me nuts right nnow because I haven't seen her!!!
• And I want a water or a Fuze. I am soooo thirsty. And no, I don't want a V-8... carrot juice anyone??

Trip, Ace & Demo,

~Yours Truly

Here's a real brain teaser:






IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALF FULL???

I didn't make a post yesterday because I was like:
"Gee, I have nothing to say. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!"
Which is, in all reality, quite frightening, because I always have something to say. I'm just so dang full of knowingness. (That was from Maximum Ride... By the way!)
So that's my blurb for today.

• I just re-read that and now I'm thinking: "Uh... okay.... just what IS a blurb???"
  
• Now it's my new word. Share it with your friends. Spread it around the world. I want to be able to talk to someone at a coffee shop and hear them say blurb just so I can be like: Ha, ironic, I invented that word. I know, I know, thank you, thank you, hold your applause. You guys better get sharing.
• OK, so maybe it's a silly thing to think. Everyone gets their shot at glory!
• I made a pact with myself last night (I'm not even kidding, we shook and everything.) That I would go to bed early because I haven't got any decent sleep since my trip because of waking up early for drama and the time changes and lag and all that jazz. You get the picture. So I made a pact with myself I would go to bed early (you know... like around 10:30... early) and so my family decided to play poker and they told me I had to play. So we were playing Texas Hold 'Em until like 11:30 and watching Michael Jackson's I'm Bad, Thriller, and Billie Jean.
  
• I broke my promise. I am ashamed.
• But on a brighter note: I whooped everyone at Texas Hold 'Em!!!!
• You know you're jealous. I'm just kidding.
• I have really enjoyed my drama week. Totally worth it. I don't want it to end!!!!
• And I'm going to change the background. Emma might get upset with me but we can always change it back. I miss that girl :(
• I just spilled quarters all over my keyboard.
  
• Enough said.

I know that i just went camping but my mom was so exited about learning how to drive the trailer that we decided to go again just me and my mom. The only problem with this is that i can't hang out with Sydney for another four days! That brings our total to about 15 days without seeing each other =(. We were going to go see my sisters keeper tonight together but all today i was sick and i had to pack so that didn't work out. Oh well i guess i will have to deal with it. Anywho, so we decided to go to Rockey mountain national park (if you haven't been there i would recommend it, it has so many amazing things to see and do.) We wanted to stay in a little place not a huge resort thing with a heated pool and mini golf like one of the ones we saw. Unfortunately all of the ones that were small were booked for three nights so we ended up having to go to one of the big ones with free mini golf. Oh well. Were planning to do lots of hikes and stuff so it should be fun. My little sister was ok with us going and now tonight she was crying and was like"I want to go too!". i felt really bad but there was nothing i could really do. I tryed to tell her about how she was gonna have so much fun with just dad but that didn't work. I went to the library and got myself a book for the trip, i am hoping to finish two of them. I decided to reread the maximum ride books because they are just so dang good! Sydney should be proud! Right now I'm supposed to be packing but I'm not, if you couldn't tell already. Well, i guess that's all i have to say.

It's only 20 days until my birthday!!! And since I'm hopeless at Wuzzles, unlike Emma I will go back to like, trivia questions and ponder stuff. Ready or not, here I come.

1. Rusty is in a dark room where outside it's snowing, and the temperature is way below freezing. He has a match in his hand. There is a fire place full of logs, an oil lamp and a candle. Which should he light first to keep from freezing?
2. A farmer goes to market and buys a chicken, chicken feed, and a fox. He has only one boat that can carry only him and one other item. He must get all three purchases to his island. However, He can't leave the chicken with the feed because the chicken will eat the feed. He can't leave the fox with the chicken because the fox will (DUH) eat the chicken. How does he get all three of them to the island??

Oh my gosh I am FINALLY back on this blog!!! I am so excited!!! This will probably turn out to be a really long post.... then again... who's keeping track? Not me. Right now i would like to give an overview of my scary-amazing-all-around-fantastic-trip...

THURSDAY: We left. It was a great little send off. Although the car ride was really really long. Morgan was high-strung on who knows what (probably life. whats new?) Then me and Sarin did peace signs and smashed our faces against the glass at every single car we passed. A LOT later we arrived. We ended up loading the house boat in a sand storm. Then us girls stayed at a hotel for the night and watched the life of Farrah Fawcet. Then of course Michael Jackson died and we watched a tiny bit of that, got bored, and watched Fresh Prince Of Bellaire. You gotta love Will Smith.
FRIDAY: Not so much eventful. We found ourselves a spot and me, Amber and Sarin sat on the top deck of the houseboat playing ERS...
SATURDAY: We swam for a loooooooong time. Then we went exploring (the family and I). We crawled all over those rocks and had trouble crossing back to the other side so me and Ally fell into this big hole filled with water and woodchips. When I bathed later all these little woodchips escaped from my swimsuit.
SU NDAY: We went to the marina and got ICE-CREAM!!!!!! Then, me Sarin and Amber went on the three seater intertube. There is no doubt in my mind that G-ma and G-pa got in a fight and G-ma was taking it out on us. Not even kidding. I fell out once because I wasn't heavy enough so Sarin shoved me out. I rolled across the water three times. Then me and Amber flew out during a donut then all three of us. It was epic.
MONDAY: We picked the rest of the family up and went to the marina. Uncle Tommie and Aunt Brandie are a good team. Brandie's loosing her eyesight and Tommie can't hear squat so they must work together. Oh i laughed so hard.
TUESDAY: We stayed on the boat almost all day and started our famous ROCK TALK. The ROCK TALK was where me, Morgan, Sarin, Ryan, Tommie, and Amber went on this hill and watched the sunset and (ironic, i know) talked.
WEDNESDAY: I wakeboarded and did some great jumping (mwa-hahahahahahaha) then, sadly, Audrey fell and cut her toe. She was screaming that she broke it but she didn't. It was really sad. She was a trooper though. Then that night Sarin freked out that he saw a person on the rocks. I was like "a person?? OUt here? We're in the middle of NOWHERE!!!!" So we were up trying to convince him it wasn't a person. Me and Amber (geniuses we are) calmed him down by telling him it was probably some poor drunk guy looking for the bathroom. He burst out laughing and went to bed.
THURSDAY: We played Frisbee in the water (i am soooo bad) and had our Rock Talk. There were these really good wakeboarders out whenever we had our rock talks. They were like flipping and all that jazz. It was very cool. And we played Texas Hold 'Em. I beast.
FRIDAY: I went wakeboarding and I did good. Only I had a horrible wipe out where the board was ripped off my feet and came up qand hit me in the head. IT hurt so so bad and that was my last run of the day. Then of course the rock talk. I love those things. Then there were Fireworks.
SATURDAY: We cleaned the boat pumped it out and moved to shore. We had a deck chat because we were to lazy to find a rock. And we played Texas Hold 'Em again. I made a scary comeback because Zach was betting on double kinds and I had a flush. Like the song goes... You got to knoooooow when to hold them....
SUNDAY: We left. I'm going to miss the trip.

So there is my awesome trip. I loved it so much and seeing all my family was like a dream come true. It was great . I'll post some pictures later. Now for a few short bullets.

• I have drama all this week.
  
• I have so many movies I want to see. So after drama I'm seeing sometime this week, TRANSFORMERS 2, MY SISTERS KEEPER. ICE AGE 3. My work is cut out for me!
• I missed my friends and people here. I realized how much Emma is like my other half. My family got so tired of me: "This one time, me and my friend Emma..."
• I love my family. Plain and simple. Them, Jesus and hot showers.
  
• Enough said.
