That Stuff Look Like a Toupee

Here are my new clothing items (:

DRESSES:

From Wet Seal

From Target

Also, the one from Target only Kind of looks like that. Mine is purple. And differently shaped. And is a bit longer.

Anyways. And then I just bought some regular strappy heels. (:

And plaid sleep shorts. Which were also from Wet Seal.

Life Keeps Going

Man. Life is crazy different since the last time I posted. There's a baby in the house, Lindsey left for France, I am actually doing things in school.
WEIRD.

Anyways, I'm doing costumes for theatre currently, and it's okay. We pretty much just organize everything. The play we're doing is called "The New Kids at Vampire High". And it's a parody of Twilight, High School Musical, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gossip Girl, Teen Wolf, and pretty much a bunch of other stuff. It's.... alright.

Hmmmm... Let's see.... What else is different.... Oh yeah.

I realized how much I love Adam Levine and Maroon 5.

I love dubstep. Especially Skrillex.

I am almost 16.

I bought a super amazing dress and shoes.

I am learning how to dance to Thriller.

I have played hide and seek in the dark. And I fail miserably.

I am starting a new art project.

I ripped a book apart. For my art project.

My hair is part blonde.

I taught Shyanne how to run, but I dunno if she remembers.

I watched a game of Dungeons and Dragons.

I've met lotsa new people.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that is pretty much it. My life moves slowly.

Oh GEE- I Wanna Go to LoMia

But that's too bad for me because I already went and came back. We left on Saturday at around 12:30 and got to LoMia a bit before 3. We didn't really do much but set up our tents and stuff. Then all day Saturday and Sunday we mostly hung out with our ward. Except for Sunday evening when us fourth years did the Colors of the Wind program, which went swell. But those days were very unexciting in comparison to what would happen in the next three days.

Monday- I took a shower in the morning because I smelled like a goat that never bathes, and then we ate breakfast and rode the zip line FIRST!! And then we packed up and were off. I had Sarah and Amy Huff in my car, and they are BIG car dancers. But we pretty much fell asleep until we got to Upper Lake Mary, where we had a delicious lunch and went canoeing. That was an adventure that I wouldn't mind repeating, but I was so frightened that the canoe would flip because it was so windy. Then I just sat on the beach with people and ate some more food before we left to the campsite, which was about 10 minutes away or so. We set up camp and had FHE that night.

Tuesday- We hiked to a meadow on Mormon Mountain. We din't find any snow like they apparently did last year, but it was still fun. When we got back we went in groups of ten to take showers, because there are four regular showers and one Handicap ACCESSIBLE shower. So five went in and the rest of us were out there waiting with Bro. Huff when the ranger guy comes up and tells us that it's a handicap shower. "That means you're not supposed to use it." So he leaves and we all switch (It costs 3 dollars for five minutes by the way) and the ranger comes back with his wife and this is pretty much the conversation that happened:

Ranger- Is someone still in here?

Bro. Huff- Yeah.

R- *Obviously angry*

H- Let me ask you a question. How many handicap people are camping here?

R- THAT IS A STUPID QUESTION!

H- No it isn't. How many?

Ranger's wife- None.

R- *obviously angry*

H- Besides. You're making bank off of us! There's 26 of us!

W- *laugh laugh laugh*

R- Lock it up when they leave

*Ranger and wife leave.*

The sign said handicap accessible. Not handicap only. And now if a handicap person needs to use the shower they have to go get the key and shower and then go take it back. All I have to say.

Then we did certification and went to Flagstaff, where we did some shopping and ate pizza at Furtelli's. Or something. It was good. But my car (Aly, Courtney, Brooke, and cabin mom Emily) went to Quizno's to visit Emily's sister before we ate. That was fun. Then we went back to camp and looked at stars and looked at Saturn through the telescope. It looked so fake, but it wasn't.

Wednesday- We ate breakfast and went to Upper Lake Mary again, this time to pick up trash trash trash. There was so much glass and fishing line and clothes. One group even found a pile of deer bones. GROOOOSSSSS. Then we split into two groups, one to go rifle shooting and one to go horseback riding. I was in group one, and we headed off to Mormon Lake, AZ. My horse was a bit smaller, but not the smallest, and black. Her name was Billie. And she was excellent until the end. When I almost died. :O

We were riding back into the ranch in a single file line, and Billie started to go astray. So I pulled a little to the right and she turned around and got in a fight with the next horse before booking it. I was so scared. That was the only thing I was afraid would happen and it did. But I stopped her. THEN. When I was getting off I stepped in horse poop. Goody. And my ankle was bleeding profusely. Thankfully, it was just a small cut that enjoyed bleeding.

Rifle shooting was.... rifle shooting. We've all done that before. Although there were these quad-people that were annoying. But we were nice anyways. That night we had smores and looked at a slideshow of all the pictures everyone took.

Thursday- I always accidentally spell "Thursday" as "Thursaday" so it sounds like Mario is talking or something. Anyways. We packed up real fast and were home by noon. Happy Birthday Aaron.

Sorry this is so undetailed, but I didn't want to write my whole life story.

Also, next year we are going to Orchard Camp! Hooray for no more West Camp! :D

The Story of Marble

So as I was sifting through my room yesterday, I found some of my written works, which are quite outstanding. If I say so. Myself.

This is one that I had to write for Science in 7th grade. And also, I don't understand why that is the title either, so ignore that part.

NOT About Flying Purple People Eaters: The Story of Marble

"Thank you for that wonderful report on your family history, Iggy," Ms. Mineral said once Iggy Igneous sat down.

"Now we'll hear from... Jimmy."

Jimmy marble stood up and slowly sauntered to the front of the room. A small handful of students clapped, and Ms. Mineral smiled, signalling him to start. He sighed and lifted a single piece of lined paper to his eyes.

"Pass," he read, and he started to retreat back to his seat. Giggles filled the classroom.

"Jimmy..." Ms. marble warned.

"Okay, okay."

Back at the front of the classroom, Jimmy started over.

"My name is Jimmy marble," he began, "and this is my family history."

"It is over one thousand years ago. The two most feared pirates on the sea, Swashbuckle and Keelhaul were fighting over the biggest fish ever. Seriously, it was humungo! Well anyways, they were fighting over this fish when suddenly... WHACK! Its tail slapped Keelhaul over the side of the ship. Swashbuckle was sure he had won, but the slimy ocean creature wasn't done yet. Its tail slapped the ghastly man into the water, where he soon followed.

"Their crews ran over to the railing to see if their leaders were truly gone. They were. The crews were on cloud nine.

'They're gone! The tyranny is over!' (what's that from? :D) was the chorus that followed. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that the fish, my grandpa, got away.

"That near-death-experience had made him realize something, he had no successors. He needed a child to carry on his line. So, he transformed into ooze and fell to the ocean floor. There, he hardened into one of my favorite people. Lina Limestone. My mom," Jimmy paused as all the girls in the class "awwwed." Except Gina. She is so weird sometimes, Jimmy thought to himself.

After a short breather, Jimmy continued, captivating everyone in his report.

"And so Lina Limestone was born. Soon, like all limestone, she grew tired of the ocean floor. She began to wander from her own home into unknown territory. She was amazed by everything she saw. Soon, she came to dry land. This was a very new experience for her.

'Wow. It's so colorful up here!'"

Everyone laughed as Jimmy tried to imitate his mother's high-pitched voice.

"She continued into this beautiful meadow," Jimmy continued, or at least he tried. Gina raised her hand. Ms. Marble nodded at her.

"Gina?"

"Aren't there beaches next to oceans, not meadows?" she questioned.

Jimmy sighed. "Fine. She continued onto this beautiful beach. Happy now?"

Gina just smiled.

"So, she wandered the beach until she arrived at a mountain, where she met a man. A man named Mr. Metamorphosis. They fell in love and climbed the mountain together. And on that mountain they still live, with their son, Jimmy Marble. That is my family history."

The class erupted with applause.

"Very good, Jimmy!" Ms. Mineral gushed. "A+! Now, next we will hear from Gina Geode."

Gina smiled and skipped up to the front of the class. Jimmy's story was pretty nice, but she was sure she could do better. Gina opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a single word, a Flying Purple People Eater crashed through the wall, killing everyone. I would explain why that happened, but the title clearly says "NOT About Flying Purple People Eaters". So I will save that for another day.

=)

The End

I don't know what's wrong with me. But I got a "Wonderful" on this story. So I guess it's okay.

I hate pretending to keep up this friend thing

A line from a song that I love. (:

It's called Cassette Tape and it's by Katie Costello.

LOOK IT UP.

Anyways. I also love Arms by Christina Perri.

ANYWAYS. We went shopping today (we being my mother, Korina, Shyanne, and me) at Arrowhead and.... well there isn't really any point to this story. But i got two pairs of capris and three more shirts (Lindsey, I got yours but the lace is small. They didn't have the same selection as Metro which I think is lame). And I just really want to go shopping still. At a place where I can actually buy things.

Like the dollar store. I LOVE the dollar store. I buy everything there except clothes, pretty much. I don't like spending lots of money on one thing, so if I can find a knock-off at the dollar store, I will buy it and use it until it explodes. Because really, brand names don't matter. I don't understand why people will only buy something if it's brand name.

LAME.

I need a hair cut. :/

Dreams

I think that the reason people like to sleep so much isn't because of the sleep, but because of their dreams. At least, that's why I like it so much.

Because when you dream you are in control. Which is great. Because real life is so stressful and tiring, but in dreams everybody knows you and it's peaceful.

Unless you're having a nightmare. Then you die.

Barbie ,Infomercials ,and Warp Speed

So I think this is going to be a long post. For me anyways. And it's pretty much going to be about everything. In my life. Will it be in the order of the title? Probably not.

But it most likely will. And just to make sure you stick around to read this (probably) lame post, here are some things I will talk about: Shyanne, Infomercias, Television, Dinosaurs, How Warp Speed Works, Waist Trimmers, and my plans for the SUMMER!

I would just like to start off by saying that after Aaron and Korina moved it, Shyanne now sleeps in my room. And lately, she has been really into Barbies. Her favorite movies are probably Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus and Barbie in Swan Lake.

So on Sunday morning I wake up, and she's on the bottom bunk just talking about Barbies. And no one else is even down there. She was saying things like "I like Barbies. Let's play with Barbies You like Barbies? Barbies."

It was cute, but I was so tired.

But you know what else. I still love paper dolls.

And you know what else? I enjoy watching infomercials. More than a normal amount. Which is zero. But I'll be flipping through the channels and won't stop for any regular shows, but once I see an infomercial I stop and watch watch the whole thing.

RIDICULOUS

So yeah. I also enjoy watching the History Channel. I learned about the Black Plague last week. And I also REALLY enjoy Doctor Who. I can't even believe how amazing that show is. And every time I watch it I think "How did I never find this sooner?" Because I love sci-fi. and science. Well, not all the equations and stuff. But things like the sky and dinosaurs and how different things are made and I hate math.

But you know what else? Velociraptors had feathers. Yeah. FEATHERS. Their bones and fossils have those little bumps on them that feathered animals have. Yeah. FEATHERED ANIMALS.

And in Star Trek, when they used Warp Speed, the way that it worked was by warping the space around them. Since nothing can travel faster than light, they didn't. They expanded the space behind them and compacted the space in front of them. So really, they didn't have to move faster than light because they just moved their destination closer. I thought that was cool.

But you know what else? Yesterday I went to Fry's because I needed some things, and then Crystal and I went to the 99Cent Store and guess what we saw? Those waist trimmers. Like the one at Ross that you wrap around your tummy to make you look skinny and lose weight? Well yeah. We bought those.

I love shopping D:

Anyways. My plans for the summer. Well, Camp and the Trek are in the same month this year, and the Trek is the week I get back from camp or something. Which, I am now a 4th year. So I will be hiking A LOT.

Also because us YW will be hiking every Saturday (almost) in the morning to condition ourselves. But I am excited for the Trek. It's this stakes 4th one, and I am SO EXCITED TO GO. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE MOMENT I TURNED TWELVE.

Unfortunately, twelve year olds get to come. But still. I'm excited. Hopefully I get a good family that isn't full of a bunch of snobby girls and un-hot guys.

And I really wish that Doctor Who was still on right now. It comes on at three, which is perfect because that's around the time I get home. It used to come on at two, so I never got to watch it. :/

Oh and Alicia- I have your blue shorts. Actually I'm wearing them right now. Isn't it ironic that you STOLE my blue tank top and now I'm wearing your blue shorts?

Hmmmm.... Interesting.... ;)

The Joy of Having Lindsey Home (and Alicia)

When Lindsey gets sick, you can have all KINDS of fun!

And when she's not sick. But mostly when she is.

Last night Lindsey, Mom, and I had a karaoke party. I danced to almost every song, as I am pretty much the BEST. DANCER. EVER. And I sang a duet with my momma. A song that I didn't even know, and it was great. Mostly because I am really good at faking. And everyone wants me to join theatre or try out for the play, but I won't. That is TOO many people to perform for.

Also, we watched Psych stuff almost all night. And by "all night" I mean "until 12:10". And an episode of Veronica Mars. But mostly the comic genius of Psych. Not to mention Lindsey took drugs on account of her sickness. So the whole DAY was pretty much an adventure.

I did discover, however, that my mom pretty much only pays attention to ME. I tried to get Jacob to throw away my Capri-Sun packet, and he said no and sat down JUST so he wouldn't have to. Then he threw LINDSEY'S away, so I threw mine at him and my mom yelled at me.

Later, Lindsey kept making all these faces at me and she made a noise so I would look at her. When I asked "What are you DOING?" my mother finally looked, finally aware that the lady trying to buy a third wedding dress didn't require her full attention.

Because I did.

It was also fun to have Alicia back, but she left last Sunday. At least after everyone has left I can resume my position as Kyle and Shyanne's favorite aunt. (:
