Scared Silly.

Okay, second post today but I want to share this experience. Today after school, Logan and I went and watched 30 Days of Night. Ever seen it? Scary!!!

It's about this town up in Alaska, and yearly the sun disappears for 30 days. And this particular year, the sun goes down and these vampire things come out and start slaughtering everyone in the town. A band of survivors take refuge in random buildings, and as in all horror movies, start getting killed off one by one.

The ending is so sad! The movie has a lot of blood in it. We were satisfied.

Once the movie was over we played the scariest video game ever: Left 4 Dead. I've mentioned this before. Awesome game.

Then...The straw maze.

Holy. Crap.

We get there and a sign says, Friday Nights Haunted.

We look at eachother and go, Crap.

There was a man...with a chainsaw. We freaked out so bad! He actually screamed.

Such a fun night!!!!!

Relief is 'Finished Gov Paper' Spelled Backwards

I'm at school right now and....

MY GOVERNMENT PAPER IS FINALLY DONE!!!!!!!!!!

When school gets out I will probably start dancing! I'm so happy to finally get this week over with and better even! It's almost Halloween! Tonight Logan and I are going to

• Watch 30 Days Of Night
• Eat a TON of candy and get off the wall hyper
• Go to the straw maze
• Freak the heck out!

And Saturday will probably be the same thing. I want to hit all the haunted houses in town.

Happy Halloween everyone! Be spooky and scary, and get tons of candy!!!!!!!!

Time to Heal.

When a heart gets hurt, it needs time to heal. I probably sound like a typical love-sick teenager, stupid and blowing things out of proportion.

I'm not trying to sound melodramatic or rude but... You don't know the whole story.

This person, I never, in my entire life, thought would lie to me. And it was something dumb, that I could have handled. If you don't want to talk to me, fine. Tell me, and I can get over it.

But lying? Is that supposed to protect me? Well what happens when I find out?

Idaho has made this easy. I'm so grateful that I moved here, and met someone who makes this pain bearable. Because he's going through heart issues too.

But jumping into a situation where it's prone to get hurt again is very stupid, so until I'm in a better place:

Trespassers will be shot.

(Just kidding.)

What NOT To Do.

Today I had my ACT testing. And you know how they give you those little booklets at school that give you all your advice, like what to do to prepare for the "big day"? Well... I read it. But I didn't follow it.

Advice tip number one: Don't cram the night before. Make a study schedule, and stick to it for a couple weeks.

Guess what I did?

Advice tip number two: Get lots of sleep the night before the test. That way your brain is awake and ready.

Guess how late I stayed up?

Advice tip number three: Eat a normal, healthy breakfast. Don't overreat, or worse, not eat. You're stomach will distract your brain.

Guess what this smart girl ate for breakfast?

Advice tip number four: BYOC. Bring Your Own Calculator.

Guess what I forgot?

Advice tip number five: Don't panic when you get the test.

...You know who.

So those are all the things NOT to do for the ACT. That I did... It wasn't on purpose, that was just how things worked out. And now the ACT is out of the way, that's a huge load off my shoulders but I still have a lot of stuff to get done this week:

Write my Gov. paper. (No I'm not finished with it yet!)

&

Finish my 2 chapters of math.

Help! I will be so so so happy when this week is over. But at the same time, I don't want it to, because that means it's getting closer to snow time. I can't decide which is worse, scholastic troubles, or environmental?

Logan helped me feel better though, he said we'd go do snow stuff. Like snow forts, snow men, snow angels, snow ball fights, sledding.

Hot chocolate! And tea!! And cookies. Oh how I love winter time! It's just the snow part that I'm hesitant about.

Slow Day

Today has definitely been a lazy day. I could have sworn I didn't wake up till like, noon, but I looked at my clock and it was only 9:30. I'm totally out of whack now.

Last night I was at a volleyball game for 7 hours!! Never again. And our girls lost district, so they're not going to state. It was so sad to see, all of them were crying.
But... I got to spend 7 straight hours with my friends, so it was kind of okay. At the end of the night though, I was so ready to go home and sleep. And I did.

All day I've been trying to keep warm, the weather's gotten so cold!! Idaho is downright chilly. But I found some tea in the kitchen, so I'm a happy camper.

And I've been trying to finish my Gov. paper.

That right there explains my feelings on that. I'm on overload here, I've got two whole chapters of math due this week, and that stupid Gov. paper. Help!

Tonight's an away football game, their last of the season. I'm wearing Logan's jersey.

#22!

Mission Accomplished.

Today... I went on one heck of an adventure. I woke up and thought to myself, Self! I want to ride my bicycle. (I want to ride myy bikee!) Good song.

So. I rode my bike. Alot! I found lots of interesting things along my way, and found a new spot that I claim as my own, right by the Snake River. It's sandy and right beside a waterfall.

Perfect? Oh yes. I was a happy girl.

This is Mr.Caterpillar. I came across him as I was sitting by my new favorite spot.

He didn't like being disturbed and was very objective to me taking pictures so he promptly curled up into a ball. Sad day!

This is one of my favorites! I love water reflections! They always make me feel like Mulan.
Who is that girl I see..? Staring straight...back at me; why does my reflection show someone I don't know?
Yeah that movie. I love that movie!! Eddie Murphy made that movie a hit.
Moving on....

Down the road...

This just made me so happy for fall!! Colors changing, trees going to sleep for the winter...
So pretty!

My new favorite place to go.

As Logan said, I can go there to "get peace and stuff."

Hahah Oh how that boy makes me smile! I hope the weather stays this nice for a while longer, I want to see how comfortable this place is for doing something tedious, like homework.

Blehhh!!

Busy bees buzzing busily!!

This here's a canal. Doesn't look like one though, does it?

So many pictures! I have more, but my computer is so slow and I do not have the patience!

But later, after all the picture taking, I went to Logan's house and we watched one of the scariest movies I've ever seen: Signs. Ahhh! I had my head covered the whole time! And my ears plugged.... He was laughing at me the whole time.

And afterwards we went to a CORN MAZE. After watching SIGNS.

Bad idea!!!! I was freaking out the whole time, and then Logan just had to throw an ear of corn right by me while I was walking, so I'd scream like a baby and fall down.

I'm glad he got a kick out of my wimpiness. But it was still an awesome, spectacular night.

I'm beginning to really like this kid. :)

Homecoming Spills Part 2

My last post hardly said anything about Homecoming, so this is more explanation about my awesome weekend!

Last week I got asked to Homecoming, and that was great.

Thus sprung the week-long frantic scurry to get ready. Dress, shoes, accessories, date plans, hair, and make up.

Deep breath.

The Homecoming game was fun, this picture below...

is my date and my friend Michelle getting crowned as Royalty. I was so excited! I was taking a whole bunch of pictures. (Probably more later) Our team lost, and I felt so bad. Most of those guys are so nice, and while I was waiting for some friends to come, a few of the football players left the field with red eyes.

This one here, was at my date's house....

Check my sexy Band-Aid! That's a funny story, I was rushing to get ready for the day date, and my ride was like, 2 minutes away so I was racing to get my legs baby smooth, and scraaappe! A whole patch up skin came up with my razor. One second later, my leg starts bleeding like no other. Great, just my luck. But it's ok, cuz Logan suggested I draw a smiley face on it with purple marker so it would match my dress. Genius boy!

This was my first time pinning on a boutonniere, and I got it right the first try! Go me! He even said I did it really well. I guess I'm just a natural ;)

I think his smile is the cutest thing. We were talking about smiles, and he said that when he was little, he thought that those lines you get when you smile were dimples, so he assumed himself to be a dimply child. Ha, then he learned otherwise.
I get a dimple in my chin when I smile big enough, but it's not very noticeable...


And this here is our group!! From left to right it's:
Zeke. Queen Michelle. King Logan. And me.
We had a great day, we went bowling and then went to a restaurant called Big Jud's, and they have burgers there as big as a cowboy hat. No joke, we all had to split one and it still didn't get finished.
(Well...It was me who didn't completely finish, but that's beside the point!)


And this purty thing right here is my corsage. I love it! I'm going to save it and stick it in a frame or something. Mine and Logan's flowers matched, too! Like, same flower and everything.
The dance itself was alot of fun. He was a fun date.

Afterwards, we sat on "our" thrones and bid everyone a good night while they left. He was joking about how it was his "kingly duty."

And then we found black ribbon, and turned ourselves into ninjas!! We were flying all over the dance floor with our ninja bands.

When it was finally time to go, we mixed some mischief, and we are now partners-in-crime. I like that title. That adventure ended with us almost getting caught in someone's yard, holding our breath, and sprinting to his car. Fun times!

And then, we went to his house and played Left 4 Dead. That game is so scary! Really! Zombie apocalypse! I hope sometime this week we'll play again. Maybe go to a corn maze too. He's so fun to be around!!

Well that's my Homecoming weekend. I enjoyed it so much! It's going to be such a drag going back to dressing normally, and not having a theme everyday....

Homecoming Spills

Homecoming was AWESOME! It was so much fun. For our day date, we went bowling with another couple. It was great.

That's me and my date up there. Isn't he a cutie! And if you can't tell by looking at my face, I'm very very nervous. My first dance and all...

And he was pronounced Homecoming King, so that was exciting for him. And for me too, he said I was his Queen, and I even got to sit on a throne.

After the dance, we made like ninjas making mischief. And oh did we make mischief!!

After that we went to his house and I got to kill some zombies!!

Ever played Left 4 Dead?

Do it.

It's the best game ever.

Update!

So lately... I've been making myself at home here in Idaho. I've even painted my mailbox.

(It's not finished yet, don't laugh!)

School is going pretty well. I got asked to the Homecoming dance (yay!), and I've got my dress and shoes and everything ready. It's Saturday, so I've still got a day or so to prepare myself! Oh, and did I mention? "Frank" was the one who asked me. Read a few entries back, you'll know who I'm talking about. AH!! So excited! And tonight is a bonfire, and I should probably get going soon if I want to get the blue in my hair in time for it...

More on that later!

But dinner time is especially fun.

My sister, Katie and me are "fighting" over that there corn cob.

That was a fun day at dinner.
And of course, my new baby, Scotty is adjusting too.

Isn't he precious!? In this picture though he looks grumpy.

I'm pretty sure he was.

Mr. Grumpy Whiskers!
Early early early this morning, I woke up to him nibbling on my fingers! Needless to say, Scotty spent the rest of the morning in his own bed.

But the new addition to my family is well loved. And spoiled!! Every night he sleeps with me, even though he's got his own bed and everything. Yesterday my Mom and I went shopping for him, and oh is he a spoiled kitty!!
Scotty lives up in my room so now I have lots of little sisters coming up for a visit.
I've had to make the rule that they have to ask me if they can play with him, because sometimes I'll go up there and he's gone! Scares the crap out of me.
Right now he's cuddled up on my lap, playing with my fingers.

Oh how I love this kitty!!

Epiphany.

I've come to the conclusion:

To not care what other people think.

Why should I worry about what's going on in other people's heads? It's their thoughts not mine, and if they're bitter, mean thoughts?

Their problem. Not mine.

The key to being happy and confident... Is to be happy and confident with yourself.

Who'da thunk it!

Mewwest Love

This is my new baby.

His name is Scott. And he's all mine.

Mine, mine, mine!

I picked him because he's the smallest and he chose me first. He crawled up my arm and fell asleep on my shoulder. How could I resist that?

I'll tell you how, I couldn't.

I am seriously in love.
I couldn't take him home right away, he still needs his mama and brothers and sisters... Plus I couldn't bear to take him away from his family when he looked so small. Imagine how you'd feel! But, the kittens need to find a new home. And Scott's found one.

With me!

Sneaky Me!!

Right now I'm in Government class, supposed to be working on my paper.

Buuuut... I don't want to. Lazy me, I know.

I don't know what to say about the above picture. In my Economics class, my group is doing a presentation on racism. I just think that picture says alot.

Oh and another thing!!!!!!!!!!!!

I GOT ASKED TO HOMECOMING TODAY!!!!

Go me :)

Quest For A Dress!

The time has come! Homecoming is next week and I need a dress!

I know these aren't Mormon-worthy but I think they're gorgeous! I've been looking online for about an hour now, and I haven't found anything. But I won't give up hope yet, I've still yet to go to Ross, the place to go when you're on a quest for a dress!

I haven't even gotten asked yet, but I am just getting prepared, and if I don't go to Homecoming, there's always the Winter Formal.... And Valentine's Day. (I hate Valentine's Day.)

I've never been to a school dance before! I've never had the chance to dress up and feel pretty. Hopefully, I will get asked soon. And I might even go stag if I don't.

Being a Senior is so much fun!!

I feel pretty, oh so pretty!!

And I Go Back...

You know how some songs remind you of somebody?

I have a whole musical that reminds me of someone.

And it kinda sucks sometimes, cuz I love listening to it.

But it reminds me so much... Of someone I'd rather forget.

I'm usually not this sentimental. I'm not one of those girls who can't live without a boyfriend.

I do just fine on my own.

But this was someone I loved. And put all my faith in... I know you're not supposed to do that.

But I did.

This wasn't empty infatuation. This was something real. Story-worthy, like The Notebook.

Except better. I probably sound like a stupid teenager in puppy-love now...

I'm not sorry. I wish I could explain what it was really like, but that's a long story. I just hope I don't sound that stupid.

Because what we had wasn't stupid. But everyone makes mistakes.

"One more day I'm on my own. One more day with him not caring. What a life I might have known... But he never saw me there."

Take Your Medicine!

I've been feeling a little down today... But this is my medicine:

Here in Idaho we get the best sunsets. This one I took as some farmers were burning their fields, and the result was a smoky look. I love it.

And flowers. I'm a floral girl.
I think I'll go outside and take some pictures... I've been inside all day.

Oh, and today is my baby brother, Brian's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
