'Cause you gotta have friends!

I have decided to try to be a better person. It all started with a Sunday.

Our Youth Group gets divided into boys and girls on Sundays, and the girls have been reading a book called Mean, a book about the mean girls in our lives and how to handle them with a Christian-like approach. Well, one of our lessons was about how we can sometimes create problems with other girls over really stupid things, or that we can automatically assume something about someone and then let that hold us from every getting to really know the person.

That lesson really opened my eyes to myself, and I've been trying really hard lately to get along with anyone that I've ever had a "problem" with before, especially one person in particular. Even if I can't solve problems with everyone, I know that I will have at least tried, and that right there makes me feel much better about myself. =]

"Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord." Heb. 12:14

El oh, el oh, el oh, el oh vee ee!

Something is wrong here.

Every single day my horoscope tells me about how my relationships with the opposite gender grow stronger and stronger all the time. They also tell about how I break hearts, create romantic moments, and fall in love(or how I'm fallen in love with).

My name means "lovable".

Part of the description for my zodiac sign is that I love very strongly, and I'm loved very easily.

How is it that everything else the zodiac claims about my sign(the hardheadedness, the stubbornness, I'm practical, sometimes quiet, honest, etc.) can be so true, except for the love part?! They act as though I'm a modern day Aphrodite. I don't find myself lovable in the least. I never have, at least not with guys. Perhaps I should write my own zodiac description...

Um....what?

I think I'll write a random blog about some of my thoughts as of late. Do you mind? Too bad if you do. ;P

You would think that since this is my next to last season of soccer, I would play my best, but quite the contrary; I've been either sick or injured the whole season so far, and it's really quite the bummer. I look as though I can't play soccer at all, which isn't true. HOPEFULLY, I'll start playing much better.

There are thousands of fish in the sea, and much like a true fisherman, I just have to be patient and let the right fish come to me.

Some guys(one in particular) are truly disgusting, and not because of their hygienic habits, but because of their personality.

Sally's Song performed by Amy Lee is pretty much amazing.

It's actually very easy to choke yourself while wearing a Snuggie.

THE HARRY POTTER THEME PARK IS OPENING JUNE 18TH!

They say that you can pick your friends, but that's not always true. Sometimes the friendships just happen.

I feel like some sort of American fortune cookie today.

"Peace, love, and happiness are nothing without blood, sweat, and tears."

The above was me trying to sound Chinese-y.

I failed, but not epically.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

I thought of something that would pretty much make my year: If I had a Tim Burton movie-thon. Oh. Em. Jay!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow, Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, Alice In Wonderland(when it comes out on dvd), Mars Attacks, and Beetlejuice. All wonderful movies. All directed by the genius that is Tim Burton. Oh yes.

Tim Burton is the man that created some of my most favorite movies, some of which starring my main favorite actor. Who would that be, you ask? Psht, if you have to ask, than you don't know me. ;P

Sometimes I have to wonder if the Government is making clones of not sheep, but people. And not just any people, but celebrities. Let me show you what I mean.

This is Rob Lowe.

He's cute, right? In an older guy sort of way, of course. What did he look like when he was younger? Probably something like this...

Say hello to Ian Somerhalder! Um....bizarre much?! Not enough proof for you? Here's another.

Everyone, would you please give a round of applause for the one, the only, Mr. Johnny Heartthrob Depp! If you're a true Johnny fan, then you know that he's absolutely 100% attractive in his own quirky way. But can there really be MORE than one Johnny? Oh yes.

Johnny Depp, meet Skeet Ulrich. Though the name is nowhere near as catchy, Ulrich is a dead ringer for Depp, no? Here's one more for you to feast your eyes upon.

Angelina Jolie. Known as: Actress, girlfriend of Brad Pitt, and woman who has a LOT of kids. Now take a look at this.

Octo-Mom Nadya Suleman. Known as: Crazy woman, Media sensation, and woman with a LOT of kids. Hmm...

There's loads more of these clones in the entertainment world, but I'll leave you with these 3 to ponder over. Next time you see a movie and think, "Hey! That guy looks a lot like *insert name here*!", consider the idea of cloning.

Jaylor was better than Jemi...

Joe Jonas. Demi Lovato. DATING. Owch.

I walk into the kitchen one day, and my mother asks me if I've heard that Lovato has confirmed that her and Joe are dating. I say no, so she plays the interview for me and then shows me all the pictures of them walking down a street holding hands and then some of them kissing while laying on a grassy hill. Try as I might, I couldn't pretend that Demi wasn't there. I mean, I wouldn't even be able to photoshop her out of those pictures. She's that close to Joe. Stupid dream stealer.

So, not only is Joe dating this...person, he's looking pretty darn happy about it. You suck.

Ok, so I'm not THAT bummed about it. I mean, it's not really that big of a surprise. Joe ALWAYS dates girls who look just like him. If they aren't short, dark, and hairy, he won't date them. I believe Taylor Swift was the only exception to this rule, and look where that got them. But he can't be all that great if he picks Demi over Taylor. If I had a bunch of readers, I would probably be getting chewed out for saying that, but I don't care. Need I show you how Taylor is so much better? I'm thinking yes.

TAYLOR: Won more awards last year than any other "country" singer.
She's old enough to live by herself in her awesome new house.
She can write a song like no one else can.
She knows how to stand up for herself.
She's super mega famous right now.
We'll not even bring up the fact that she's a billionaire.
She's been on SNL. Beat that.

Ok, now let's talk about.....Demi. Eww.

DEMI: Sonny With A Chance, Barney, and Camp Rock. Hmm...
She has THE most annoying laugh in the world.
Her smile scares Chuck Norris.
Something wonky is up with her voice.
She's touring with her boyfriend. How corny.
The first 20 times she wore Converse with her dress was ok. Now it's just lame.
She chooses to date someone who could be her older brother. That's just sick.

10 Things

You may hear some things about me that aren't true. I'd just like to set the facts straight.

1. I do NOT have red hair.

2. I'm not cool, I've never been cool, and I really don't think that I ever WILL be cool.

3. I look nothing like Taylor Swift.

4. I always give honest answers.

5. I'm not emo.

6. I am indeed 17 years old. Quit saying" Really?" whenever I tell you my age after you ask.

7. I could never be a model, because I hate having my picture taken and I love to eat too much.

8. I don't always win at Scrabble. I just get really lucky when I pick my tiles.

9. I'm not short!

10. I'm not a shy person. I just have my shy-like days sometimes.

Music!

You know, sometimes it's scary how much a song can sound JUST LIKE your love life.

When I first heard I'd Lie by Taylor Swift, I swear, my mouth dropped open and I paused it so I could look up the lyrics, just to prove to myself that I wasn't imagining it. I'm not saying that the song's lyrics are true to me now, but they sure were at the moment.

Another song that really applied for quite some time was You Belong With Me, also by the amazing Taylor Swift. I've got to think that that one isn't such a hard song to relate to though. Almost everyone has been in that situation at one time or another.

The song that most sounds like my love life right now? Four Leaf Clover by Mozella. If you haven't heard it, you need to. I'm not a huge fan of the singer's voice, but I really enjoy the song.

Maybe one of these days I can relate my love life to one of those sappy, "I love you, you love me, we'll always be together no matter what" songs. ;]

Go to sleep, go to sleep...

It's somewhere around late and super late o' clock, and I'm getting ready for bed. I've walked a dog, I've put Annie up, I've fed the guinea pigs one last time, and I've hugged my mother goodnight. I walk into my bedroom, and the feeling begins. The feeling that something strange is going to happen.

First, I walk around my bed(putting a good 2 feet between the bed and my feet) and turn off my computer. Then I keep my feet 2 feet away from my bed, and stretch over so I can grab up my stuffed animals. After I place them neatly into my office chair, I grab a hoodie and throw it over the stuffed animals and then turn the chair away from my bed, so that way I can't see them looking at me while I sleep. After I do that, I make sure I open back up my piano book so that it hides the faces of my sock monkey and Oscar the Grouch jack-in-box that are on top of my dresser directly in front of my bed. Once I feel sure that there are no more eyes looking at me, I literally jump into bed, so that my feet won't get anywhere near the bottom of the bed. Once I'm in bed, I sit there reading for awhile, before turning off the lights. If anything falls off of my bed and onto the floor in that time, it's just too bad. I never ever EVER reach down to get it until it's daylight again. You never know what could be down there.

Sometimes, when I can't fall to sleep fast enough and my imagination is running wild, I think I hear things moving around or I'll blink oddly and think I saw something move. This is why I normally like to take it easy before going to bed. I'll read a happy book, listen to slow, quiet songs, and just slowly slip into the Land of the Dreaming.

I sigh when I see the moon...

I have never been on or around an airplane. This makes me sad.

Never have I tried to eat mango, mostly because I'm not a huge fan of mango flavored candy.

Kiwi could very possibly be my favorite fruit.

I have a ton of memories from when I was in daycare, some of them I can still "see" as though they happened yesterday.

I absolutely LOVE a guy in a suit. Something about how they look makes me feel giddy.

I get aggravated when I hear of my friends going to cool places and they didn't take ANY pictures at all.

I think I'm annoying.

The first time I ever wore make up was on one Halloween when I was little.

Speaking of Halloween, I got upset one time because this old guy thought I was a dung beetle. I was actually a lady bug.

I have a bullet-proof personal bubble.

I used to pretend that our cat Rosie was actually Professor McGonagall from Harry Potter, and she was just waiting for the opportune moment to give me my Hogwarts acceptance letter.

A part of me still wishes that I would get that letter.

I love British accents!

So what is the point of this blog post, you may ask? Well, I was trying to post things about myself that maybe some of my friends didn't know. Comment and let me know how I did! ;]

Thursday, March 11th

Let's see, what all happened today...

Well, I woke up an hour earlier than usual, but only because I couldn't breathe AT ALL. I'm pretty sure I looked like a fish gasping for air. I got up and did most of my chores before I fell back asleep for 30 more minutes. I heard my mom squirting my youngest brother with a squirt bottle, so I jumped out of bed real fast before she could squirt me.

I practiced my piano some, but my hands started to cramp very badly, so I took breaks in between songs. I have something funky going on with my hand muscles...

I uploaded 2 videos onto Facebook today of Jesse playing guitar. Everyone seems to really enjoy them. My brother is mega talented. =]

After those uploaded, my mom took me and Jesse to the park, where I sat for an hour texting while Jesse did some parkour with his friends. After they got done with that, the whole family went out to eat at Pepperoni's.

Once we had eaten our fill, me and Mom went to the library, where I got 2 new books to read. I'm really hoping they're good!

We left the library, came home, and then went downstairs to watch Silver Bullet. It was a pretty good movie, though not as scary as I had expected. End of Day 4!

Wednesday, March 10th

Sorry I have to write this a day late...I was much too tired to write it last night.

Yesterday, I went to Granny's house. Whenever we go over there, it's always super fun, because we play games, eat lots of food, and usually play outside. We did indeed do all of those things, but only for a while, because I had to go home and get ready for that afternoon.

On Wednesdays, I have piano lessons, which I absolutely adore. I had a really good lesson(I'm learning how to play Do Re Mi from The Sound of Music), even though I was a bit spacey.

After piano, Mrs Reba took me, Tonya, and Jesse out for dinner at Pizza Hut. It was marvelous! I can't remember the last time I had a sit down dinner in there, so it was a really fun experience. Thank you, Mrs Reba!

After we got done eating, we went back to church, where we found Hannah! Poor little Hanny had came 5 minutes too late and missed going out for pizza with us. Hopefully her night wasn't totally ruined though, since Mrs Reba invited us into her house for a quick game of Scrabble! It was very fun, and I won. ;]

I got back home that night and my nose was totally stopped up. It's much better now, but last night I couldn't breathe at all until my mom gave me something to help me out a bit.

And that was Wednesday! Church was lonely without all of my other friends there, but it was still fun. I'll post again later!

Tuesday, March 9th

Today was a bit more blah than yesterday, but still a good day!*

The first interesting thing that happened today is that I woke up with a movie quote stuck in my head. "Get out of hee!", said by Hugh Grant in the movie, Mickey Blue Eyes. That was one of the movies that me and my mom watched last night. Just so everyone knows, I pretty much adore Hugh Grant. He's pretty gosh darn funny, not to mention attractive. ;] But anyways! I'm getting sidetracked.

I did my chores, played some keyboard, and then worked on a fan page for the recreation soccer league in my town. After that was done, I had to start getting ready for soccer.

I got to soccer and pulled both of my thigh muscles(sorry I don't know the technical terms). The overall practice was painful and very, very, VERY boring. Our team is....interesting. I missed Kirstin and Ryan, but I got to talk to Rachel, so there was some good!

I also lost a bet that me and my mother had going on. I was supposed to see if I could go one whole day without saying this one person's name, and I totally failed. I ended up saying their name 3 times. Thankfully, me and my mother never actually bet with items.

And there you have it. One super boring Tuesday. HOPEFULLY I will be going to convention on Thursday with my new buddy Elizabeth, but I have yet to find out for certain. You all should be crossing your fingers, because if I do get to go, then I'll have a much more entertaining blog post for that day! ;]


*Note: Everyday is a good day for me, unless someone is dead, sick, or hurt. Any day that my family, my friends, and myself are ok is a great day.

Monday, March 8th

Since so many of my friends are gone this week(convention aka "friend stealer"), I decided that I should write a blog about my day every day until Friday. So here it goes!

Today I woke up to see sunlight flooding into my bedroom. I always take that as a promise for a good day, so I naturally got out of bed and started my day feeling superbly.

I did all the usual morning routines, and then decided that such a nice day should not go to waste! After talking to Jesse and gathering up a few props, we headed out into the great unknown and made wacky videos all day long! I had planned on uploading them to Facebook, but since I never know when they're going to be pimples and rip the audio off of my videos, I have to wait until I either find a different site to upload them to, or just get brave enough to waste an hour and see what happens on Facebook. The videos are super funny though, so I will for certain make sure that my audience has a way of viewing them! ;]

Once it was too dark to do anything outside and I was sucked dry of ideas(for the moment), Mom took us kids to the soccer fields, where I was able to chill with Tonya for a bit before she left. Then I had to help look for someone's lost car keys. We searched for about 25-30 minutes to no prevail. No keys, my feet were freezing, and the lights were being screwy. All in all, a very fruitless event.

After we left the soccer fields, we went to Sonic. It was there that my dear mother bought me a vanilla cone, which was huge and delicious. We also got some Jr. Double Burgers W/ Chez. They were super tasty!

And there you have it! That's what today has been like so far. Mother and I will probably watch a movie later, then I'll read a bit, and then go to bed.

Shun The Cold!

I am sitting. I am sitting in my room, with my windows open, at 6pm, and it's not in the least but cold. Quite the contrary, it's 66 degrees. Gosh, I love Spring weather! =D

Sing, Sing Out Loud...

Sometimes, I wish life were like a musical. Then we could all burst into song without anyone giving us funny looks. But to live in a musical requires that you sing, and me? I don't sing.

At least not in public anyways. Or at home. It's really odd, because when I was but a youngling, I would sing all the time. My grandpa would start picking on his guitar, and I would make up a song and sing along. Not anymore, though. Now I almost never sing, and if I do, I do it when I'm completely alone and no one can hear me.

Another thing that's somewhat odd is that when I finally DO work up the courage to sing in front of people(like when our Youth Group went caroling), my friends accuse me of NOT singing, when I know that I was! Maybe I just sing quietly. Or perhaps everyone else sings just a tad too loud...

What about when I play Rock Band, you may ask? Well, I play the guitar. I have only sang just a handful of times, and I hated every second of it. I shake uncontrollably, my face turns red, and I start to feel sick. I believe that would be called "stage fright". I don't do stage fright.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you shall never ever EVER hear me sing willingly, unless I'm feeling SUPER outgoing and brave.

Um...

Soccer was....interesting. It has become apparent to me that I really need to work on my endurance. I'm the fastest girl on the team, but I can't go for super long. I made it 3/4 of the way around the field before I started getting dizzy. I shall work on that, and then I will be a beast once more! ;]

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE my friends? I'm thinking I have, but what's once more? I LOVE MY FRIENDS! Like, seriously. I'm insanely lucky.

I really really REALLY wish I had a good kaleidoscope. Jesse broke mine when we were little. There were beads and pieces all over the floor. If I recall right, I was quite angry. Brothers...

CAUTION: Sneezing while your nose is stopped up could cause a minor explosion.

Alice! THE Alice?

I absolutely adore Alice In Wonderland now. My oh my, what a movie! Wonderful special effects, superb acting, and great quirks!

I LOVED Helena Bonham Carter! I really and truly believe that this was her best film yet! She played her part brilliantly and flawlessly. She really gave it her all, and with great results!

THE CHESHIRE CAT! Oh em jay, he's my new favorite Alice character. I really didn't think I was going to like him too much, since in the old Disney cartoon version of Alice, he scared the bajeebers out of me, but in this remake of the classic, he was SO cute and only slightly creepy!

The Mad Hatter is my 3rd favorite character, played by the wonderful Johnny Depp. In an interview, Depp had said that the Hatter was like a mood ring, his emotions always very close to the surface. I had no idea how true that was until I watched Alice In Wonderland. When the Hatter gets mad, he gets really scary! He's already a slightly scary character, but get him worked up, and he's almost shocking. I loved it though!

hats off to all the cast members of this movie! They all did a marvelous job!

Eep!!

GASP!

Alice In Wonderland later today! YAY! I get to watch it with Jesse and Ryan(and however many other people, but mainly Jep and Rhino)! We'll be standing outside for an hour before the movie so we can get good seats! It'll probably be cold out, but who cares?! IT'S ALICE IN FREAKIN' WONDERLAND!

*ahem* That is all.

I really quite enjoy posting these random thoughts...

Try to never get upset or mad at someone over something really dumb, because what if something happened to that person while you were "upset", and the last thing you thought about that person was something negative?! Truly terrible! Horrible! Tragic! NOT GOOD.

Gosh, the above was(and still is) really hard to explain.

I'm listening to All American Rejects, also known as "Amanda's Numero Uno Favorite Band".

Church was really fun tonight!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND PREMIERS FRIDAY! *Gasp!*

I absolutely love comments on these things...

The first soccer practice of 2010 is this Saturday! I'm excited and just a tad bit nervous!

Next week will probably be really boring.

I smell like cucumber melon.

What the heck is a cucumber melon?

I really dislike it when guys think girls are the weaker sex. Last time I checked, WE were the ones giving birth, not them.

I can't wait until May!

I can't believe I'm irked about a certain something someone DIDN'T do. How dumb!

It turns out that I not only hate chocolate chip mint ice cream, but also chocolate chip mint ice cream flavored jelly beans. Gag.

This is rather boring, no?

I was reading Ryan's newest blog(the one with all the typos and whatnot), when I came to this conclusion: Without spell check, things could get very messy. Here's some examples.

Grandma said to thpank you for giving her that gift.

My pet mousse loves to eat moose.

She said that he wanted to marry him.


In closing, I'd just like to suggest that everyone read over what they've written and fix any misleading statements. It could save your life.

Exes and Ohs to you, my dear

Kiss me! Kiss me! Kiss me! Kiss me! Kiss me! Kiss me! Kiss me! Kiss me! Kiss me! Kiss me!

Um...no. I don't want you to kiss me. I'm just telling you what my shirt says.

Actually, you will probably never hear me saying "kiss me" until I'm madly in love and engaged. Otherwise, I just find kisses kind of gross. First kisses aren't gross, because they're simply too sweet and awkward to be even the teeniest bit nasty. Every kiss after that that ISN'T to the person you want to spend your life with is very nasty. And as for French Kissing? Well, I'm not even going to go there.

Well, we can't talk about kisses with hugs, so here's my say on hugs.

I'm stingy with my hugs and they have to be earned! I know it sounds totally conceited, but it's the truth. I HATE when people hug me and I...

a) Don't know who they are.
b) Don't know them very well.
c) Know for a fact that the person hugging me dislikes me.

I have to know you really well, actually like you, and be certain that it won't be weird for either of us in order for me to give out a hug willingly. Once those things are in order, I'm actually quite the hugger.

I Will NOT Forget!

I've been such a forgetful person lately, it's terrible.

I have been meaning to ask my mom about getting a formspring.me for the past 5 days, but I've been so insanely busy and in my own little world, that I keep forgetting completely until Ryan reminds me, and then I feel bad for forgetting. I hate forgetting things, especially when I say I'm going to remember! I hate it when people do it to me, so when I do it to someone else, I feel utterly awful. I WILL try to get one tomorrow(or if you want to get all technical, later today), or else I will ban myself from laughing for one whole day. That's true punishment, people. Trust me.
