So why don't we go...

[Listening to: Keane - Hopes and Fears - 01 Somewhere Only We Know]

So anyways, i've only a few hours left and I will soon be able to eat. So let me recap the rest of this day.

Well after I left my last blog entry, I went to help out at the Jeans and Jewels Gala Auction at Woodland Hills. They were pretty much done when I got there ^^; but we decided to play Bigger or Better. For those that don't know, the games is where teams start off with small objects and go around to houses and find bigger or better objects that the family doesnt want anymore. The teams were Grant, Katie Holden, Brandall, and me against Houston, JT Dawson, and Jake. We decided to go into the same huge, rich neighborhood. Rocky Point? maybe.... i think that's it. We were given 2 hours and we'd meet back at Woodland Hills. So let me tell you what are team did.
Well, we delegated Katie as our spokeswoman because we thought houses would probably listen to a girl before 3 guys. We first decided to visit Laura Smith since she lived in the neighborhood. We started off with a danish and asked her if she had anything bigger or better, she gave us a unopened water gun. We drove down her street and ended at a nice house. The lady who opened the door was SO nice. She gave us this art piece of a girl and some bunnies in a field... or was it a forest... i dont remember. ANYWAYS, we stopped at our next house to find a younger couple who had this somewhat broken yellow 70's lamp that they didnt want, they didnt want the picture either, so they just gave us the lamp. On our way out, we see the other team, aka Team LOSER, trying to take Grants car and take purses, camera bags, etc. We gave them the picture in trade of our stuff. What losers, heh. So we took our lamp to several places pretty much being turned down left and right. We got a call from the team saying that they already won and that they had some cool stuff. Well, we kept on going and we ended up at this house that was answered by two teenagers. I think they were both freshman, one from CBHS and the other from Cordova. After a bit of chit chat the kid had said there was a couch they didnt want but he would need to call his mom. He comes back and says he couldnt get him mom. We tested out the lamp in front of them so they saw it worked. Well we gave them Katie's cell number to the kids so they could call us if they reached their mom. Well... time passed by like no body's business. We still hadnt traded the lamp. Well we get a call from the kids with time running close to 1:15. The mother said we could have the couch, it seems the kid really liked the lamp. To make a long story short (too late) we had to break the legs of the chair, and we fit it in a suburban that the lady had. We drove it to Woodland Hills and showed the other team what we got. We definitely won, they had some random items, (steering collumn, skiis, etc) but we won. The lady took the couch because the friend (the cordova student) wanted it for his room, and since we were just going to chunk it we let him have it.
We hung out at Woodland hills for a minute before splitting up. We took a lot of pictures so i'll post them eventually when I get the developed.

So I got home and took a nap until about 5:30 where I called Jordan to see if he wanted to do anything tonight. He's at work and he'll call me later, which is where the story will pick up later.

so until next time.

So Hungry...

As some of you probably know, I'm doing the 30 hour famine. This means that I havent eaten anything since 5:00pm on Friday and it will end at 11 tonight.
Friday at 5 we met in the gym lobby to tell everyone the plan and then to pray. We went our seperate ways, but most of the faminers were going to meet at the Cordova Skating Rink. Let me tell you I fell about 10 times, plus i was the slowest person in the rink. And the kids there are evil, talented... but evil. they would pretty much skate circles around me... >_< but oh well. And most of the girls there are WHORES. Well anyways the Faminers that went were me, Grant, Cole, Houston, Brandall, Jake, Katie, Stephanie, Sarah, Chloe, and Caroline. We ran into a whole bunch of people there like Laura, Lauren, and Abby, the wiley brothers, etc. The last time I was skating I was pretty much clenching onto Sarah, however when we did that we had a fall count of: 0, so i think that was a good idea. Afterwards we all split up and the guys went to Grant's house. We had fun, but I had to get out so at around 11 i went to go get some apple juice from Walmart. Man, was it tempting in there. There was so much bread and... ::licks lips:: but i didnt eat anything... so i'm still going on strong.
I should be helping them right now at Woodland Hills, but I came back home for awhile. I'll be taking a shower soon too.

+However I had sometime to think at Grant's house, and I've decided (if i wasnt sure enough earlier) that I cannot wait for this year to be over.
I shall leave you for now with the message that the fortune cookie that sits atop my moniter says, "The time is right to make new friends."

later

It has been so long...

...since i've felt at rest.

I dont know about you, but i have been so tired lately. School has been so boring and it has felt so drawn out that I just cant wait for it to end. At the beginning of the year I was going to make this a good year. I was going to befriend a whole bunch of people i didnt know and just have a good time and things would be great. Now at the end of the year, I just really dont care. I dont care about school, and I seem to be slipping away/slowly just backing off of my friends. As sad as that just may be. There are probably only 2 or even maybe 3 people i want to be with. And those few really dont want to be with me. The others, I just dont really feel close to them, and I know that when I'm off at college things will be hard trying to keep up friendships while either I or they are away. I can barely keep friendships while people are at arms length, distance will only make it worse.

Thinking about the cruise, I think it might be a bad idea for me to go, too bad it's too late to pull out. I've just realized that i'm going to be spending my whole spring break with my class for a good 7 days. I might go insane.
A) I can't swim.
B) I really dont want to be stuck with these people for that long.
C) I'm going to be so bored.
Oh, dear God, what have I gotten myself into. T_T

On a lighter note, thanks to Hannah and Lindsey for writing on my car at school the other day! That def. made my day. Here are some pictures:

Lindsey's message:

well I might just go crazy as I have already died inside... have a good day!

Have you ever...

Have you ever been disappointed in someone... yeah...

Let's see... I hate Saint Valentines Day. A day where we commemorate love for another, well, the problem is that i dont really feel much love coming this way. That is not just concerning relationships of exclusiviness (a.k.a. dating). How do you celebrate love with just friends if that love feels pretty ones-sided. I dont know, you decide.

I've come up with a conclusion concerning dating. Why should I date when I can barely keep friends? It doenst make sense to pollute the dating scene like that. Plus, most of the girls I like, i'm pretty sure they don't like me or i think we may disagree on some key issues of mine. But that's ok, I'll probably die alone at the old age of 20.

Also, everyone is having a bad day. There are too many sour moods at school. I claimed mine first, so I am def. keeping mine. Everyone else can actually work on fixing their problems.

Nothing really happened except I died a little inside.

February 16, 2005

Oh yay, a half-day. Probably the longest half-day of school EVER. The MS Choir concert went alright, I got a 10/10 at the concert i'm 1 out of 22 people who did. 6 of those 22 were girls. Weird numbers i think anyways. "Steal Away" has to be one of the greatest songs, it's so soothing. After school I went to Johnny's Pizza. The food was good, but the mood so weird, everyone was so high strung. Moods and PMS's were flying everywhere. it was bad. Oh well.

I talked to Hannah Foster at like 12:something A.M. (so really it was the 17th, DEAL) We talk about a lot of things, sharing the same feelings about a lot of things. It was cool.

I also talked to someone else, but you will probably hear about that later... O_O. sometime after this weekend.

** we are counting down the days It leaves... things are moving SOO slow... T_T sigh.

i'm out. let's see if I can go to sleep. ::shrug::

Oh, things were...

... so much better.

Let me tell you what has been going on. Two weeks has passed since my life began to end. My cousin... or well my mom's cousin's daughter (whatever that makes her out to be)... arrived to stay with us for 4 weeks. And let me tell you so far, it has not been good. I've been taking her to school each day because she is listening to classes in the 8th grade, she is supposedly trying to learn english.

Monday
The first monday of when she arrived I took her to school and I thought that things would be ok. I had Choir practice right after school so I dropped her off at the house before I left. Well, it seems that while I was out singing my heart out, It somehow got gum all over my dog. ... my precious dog. When I got home I realized that my dog, Sushi, looked a bit different, it had some stuff around it's face. I looked a bit closer and it was gum... I almost died. This can not be happening. I went and took her to my parents bathroom where I locked myself in and started to cut off the gum which took me 30+ minutes. The gum was located around Sushi's mouth which somewhat restricted her mouth from opening. I was so mad. She had also been on my computer for 5 hours, and let it be known to those that do not know, I am HIGHLY protective of my computer. Things are starting off on the wrong foot.

::For the sake of space I shall stop dividing things up by the days::

Ok let's see, in two days It leaves about 5+ water bottles around the house all of which have only been used about 1/4 of the way through. It has left candy wrappers and trash everywhere.
Before my mom went to work, she told It "Do not open the door, I'm putting on the alarm". My mom calls me from work, during my drama practice, "Can you leave and go to the house?, she has set off the alarm." I told her I was going to stay at practice, there's no way I want to deal with this. I find out later that It had opened the door (for some still unknown reason). We could not reach her because the phone had been left on, which means the alarm company could not reach us. The police had come to our house and It had to explain to them what had happened.
One day after school, It left to a friends house without telling us. My mom was waiting from a phone call from It so my mom knew it was ok for her to go over. Well, It never called. >_<
It is still leaving bottles and trash everywhere.
It disobeys us and ignores us if we tell her to do something.

I might just die.

Apparently my parents and It are going to Birmingham on the 18th right after my parents get back from work, which means i'll be It free all weekend...

Oh, yeah... I've lost 3 online college applications, (2 from the same college) since It has begun to use my computer.

Well I'm out...

I am red...

Apparently I am red...


You are the color red. You are the most
controversial of all the colors. You are often
easily angered, but as easily as you got
excited, you come down. When angered, do you
have the tendency to be malicious? Afterwards,
do you end up begging for forgiveness? Maybe.
But you're incredibly generous, and, odd
enough, needy. You love to hate, and
sometimes, you hate to love. This color
describes you as generally edgy. When in a bad
situation, you're pessimistic, and when you're
in a good situation, you're extremely
optimistic. You're painfully tempermental, and
sometimes it hurts the ones you love. But with
an exciting and stimulating attitude, you enjoy
talking to people and being social. But aside
from your bold and outgoing attitude, you're
attention-needing and attention-getting. This
color is associated with lust and desire--and
you are both lust and desirous. You're a
protective person when it comes to the people
you love. You're incredibly sharp-witted and
powerful (not to mention intelligent!).


What color are you? (Amazingly detailed & accurate--with pics!)
