"When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy."

I love that quote. Go see if you can find who originally posted it. If you do know, then don't tell who it is, but you can tell that you know. Very much like bragging, but not. For those of you who are concered of that. Guess what that reminds me of? A few of you should be able to.

Now, one of the reasons that I put off getting a blog is that I was afraid that I would not update it regularly. Now that is coming true. All my fault I know. Except for that small part that is bloggers. I am attributing the lack of updates and lack of comments to the fact that blogger is making it 'you-must-be-a-genius-to-figure-this-out' sort of thing.

So, before you all ask, Christmas around was pretty good. I had some fun. I actually can relax for about the first week or so of this break, before I have the most dreaded thing of all to work on... yes! that would be homework! And this paticular project just happens to be 10% of my grade... ya, I like it even less than anyone out there reading it.

Currently, I just sat around all day and did nothing. Nothing at all. Well, I knitted and watched my sister. But that was it. And it was boring. Really, really boring. Thankfully I think that I have plans for the next few days. I desperately hope so. I would hate for a repeat of today.

I was reading a book, one of the three that I am reading (finally found some good books to read!) which happens to be The diary of Anne Frank. It's intresting. Especially since I don't have to analyze the whole thing bit by bit. I mean it is fun to be all analitical, but sometimes you just need a break.

Basically, that's been all that's gone on for the past little while. So wrapping this up with Happy New Year.

Stress among other things.

I was going around checking out everyone's blog's, and then the thought occured to me. Maybe, just maybe I need to update mine. Without adding a bunch of quotes to make it longer. I think I might have some stuff to talk about too. You know with my spy cell actually up and running. And this is how it goes...

I was thinking today, that, I just don't have enough time. Which really stinks. And by time, I truly mean, time in day light hours. Why would such a thing be important? Because if it is just me walking my dog I prefer to do it in daylight. And I've been busy alot of the time after school. In which case, she doesn't get walked. Bad, I know. I'm working on that. Homework, and making money usually take up my time right after school. I wanted to change that... so, I'm thinking I'll give up one of my paper routes. Which'll be hardish on me, but I'll live. There are better ways of making money. Actually, I'd like to go into resturant business. NOT cooking, as a waitress. See how that turns out. However, as of now, that is not possible. Dreaming I'm told though is a good thing.

Now, I'm sure you all so desperately want to hear about my spycell, nevermind that most of the people who will read this were there. It's somewhat of becoming a tradition to bake everytime before the cell starts. And eat. Laura's mom makes good lasanga. Yup, though the chocolate chip muffins didn't turn out so well... Matt still wants us to make blueberry ones. Can someone help drill it into his head, that THERE NOT IN SEASON. Meaning, I can't get them. On to the actual cell. I could find what I had previously meant to do, so I ran to Laura's computer grabbed and email that sounded good, and read it, then got everyone's opinion. Then told them about the whole option of having a book study thing. They seemed to like the idea. It's going to be very interesting though... depends where I decide to go on it. And which book I could do.

After that we went, and watched Over the Hedge, after missing the first ten minutes. Better than I thought it would be, but still not the greatest movie ever. Not something I'd want to watch again. However, at the end there was a good quote,

"You know we woulda given it all you, it's what families do.
Really, it woulda been nice to know that in the being.
That's bad communication, also runs in families."

Something to that effect any way. After that, while we were waiting for rides, we listened to a song called 'Alice's Resteraunt'. Except that it barely had anything to do with Alice. Apparently it was used as a protest agaisnt the Vietnam war.

On other things, in English today we started Macbeth. Sounds... intresting. Lindoff gave us about a twenty minute lecture on the book, explaining things, making us take notes. And we started to watch the movie. He's not wasting anytime. Another thing, I would hate to have to play a role as one of the witches. I really, really don't like them.

I've run out of things to say, so goodnight.

Churchill

A good while ago Werner said to go and look for quotes from Churchill. Nothing, absoultely nothing was happening. So I did. And this is what I found.

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

A love for tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril.

All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.

An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

Broadly speaking, the short words are the best, and the old words best of all.

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.

He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

I cannot pretend to feel impartial about colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns.

I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time.

It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.

Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

The price of greatness is responsibility.

The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning.

There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.

To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.

Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.

I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.

One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once 'The Unnecessary War'.

For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.

Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

There are quiet a few very good quotes in there, or so I thought. On other things, mircophones are fun to play with and headaches don't like car rides much.

An update

Wow. I have really unimaginative titles... meh. Guess what? I nearly forgot about my cell. Yes, it hasn't even been launched yet, and yes I was pretty passionate for it before. And most of those ideas are still around. But they're not fresh anymore. They've gone slightly stale in the month's wait for my Monday to clear up. And the fact that November is NOT a happy month. Couple of people died, couple murdered, bunch o' people depressed, two of those suicidal, Sarah in a car accident... Not a happy month. You could look on the bright side, and after a year of work, dog training is starting to pay off... but that's all that comes to mind at the present moment.

On a lighter note, today was my little sister's birthday. You all have to say 'Happy Birthday' to her now when you see her. She has turned... should I tell you...? I could be that mean. But I won't. Nine is the number that you are looking for. We actually did a very good job. I personally don't put much stock in Birthday's. I guess that's just me though. Now I shall list what she has gotten. I gave her two books, and a Barbie/dog set thing, now she can leave my dog alone. She actually really likes it. Matthew went all out and got her (drum roll) some fish. And a 50 dollar tank. Nice gift. Werner went for small, but really neat. He got her this shell thing, that you can hear stuff in. You can hear different things depending on how close you hold your ear to it. Mom and Dad got her a replacement po-go stick, the last one she had broke, as it was from a garage sale. Fun things. My Aunt also sent her a gift. THAT'S the part that shocked me to an extent. You know those things that come with the pencil crayons, and paints, and markers and everything? She sent one 250 piece one down for Hope. Pretty sweet Birthday deal if you ask me.

Random things, Addy, get Ed and go into business... I had thought I had commented on that but... Laura I need to talk with you before Monday. No I will NOT be there Friday. Didn't get a ticket. And stop worrying, I've only missed all this week so far with a headache that earlier, made thinking hurt. It's receded for the moment though.

Anything else... Why yes! Sarah's Birthday is tomorrow, so go wish the lucky girl Happy Birthday, from what I know, she's out of the hospital. I also have a get out of work free card, so that means, I am not working tomorrow night! So if you want to chill, and my head isn't throwing a tantrum...

And yes still about the quotes. A generous thank you to all who have spared their time and energy to post their contributions. Oh... I also need to talk to Liz. So if you see that girl send her my way. That's all I have to say. Not alot at all in truth...

"Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains; another, a moonlit beach; a third, a family dinner of pot roast and sweet potatoes during a myrtle-mad August in a Midwestern town. Smells detonate softly in our memory like poignant land mines hidden under the weedy mass of years. Hit a tripwire of smell and memories explode all at once. A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth."

I have more quotes, I just need to type them up...

As you can see I have been digging at quotes again. An update on my life, so far it looks like I have A's in nearly all my classes, which for me is a first. Hard work finally paying off. Further more, I have been trying to put more effort toward my dog, who sadly gets neglected every so once in a while when I have too much homework.

Guess what? It's my little sisters birthday next week! When next week? Exactly a week from today. From me she gets books and a toy. A good combination, don't you think? Mom says that it might snow tonight. You have no idea how much I want it to snow. Lots of snow, two feet of snow, or one foot of snow and a continuous blizzard. That's what I'd like. Seems alittle mean, but I don't want to go to school.

For anyone who wants to check out my new cell, it will be held at Laura's at seven starting on the last Monday in November, because that is when the rest of the Trick's training will be done, and I'll still get my one night off in the week. It is good to take breaks. Even when homework doesn't quiet co operate. Seems it never went to kindergarden. Never learned manners.

Is anyone going this week to go see Sarah? I think I'll aim for going up about once a week... if you are going up this week let me know and I'll catch a ride if it's alright. Ya, outside of school my life doesn't have a lot to it, besides going to see Cars after youth and Flushed Away both surprisingly good movies by the way.

You know this by rote now, I am still collecting quotes, oh, and if you ever want to hang out before about seven in the evening on most nights I am free. Yup, that's all for now.

Business...

I shall take refuge behind business. And the lack of homework that is circulating between classes right now. That would be why I am writing this, not what I am taking refuge behind, for those who caught that.

That would be the explination to why this blog has remained uninhabitated by me. Just a little stress... you don't exactly jump for joy when your Honors teacher says, write me an essay on why this book is a best seller, use quotes, and don't go over six pages. The six pages may seem like relif for most, but by that he means, be close to six pages, four and half, five, six. No small feat. At the same time your trying to figure out WHAT the intern in the other class is trying to tell you... after he gives you a universty workload... true its due in about a month, but there's still stress. However, you are currently pleasantly surprised by how well you are doing in a class that in not your forte.

Back to what I decided was blog worthy. I may be starting a SPY cell. Yup. I still am waiting to hear back on the places that I might be able to hold it at. I kinda explained to Liz what I want it to look like. She said that is mostly modeled off the SPY cells of old. The ones that are now and forever gone as the leaders got busy or went to college. That surprised me. The basics of what I want it to look like? A small accountibilty group. Max number seven. Limited visitation. To and from. Eventually getting to know each other so well... That sums up my dream right now. I have to go check on the dog. If you find any good quotes I am still collecting. Bye for now.

Even when all signs indicate that the darkness will never end? That the finish line is farther away than we think? That we're simply not strong enough? Fast enough? Pure enough? Is it foolish pride? Naivete? Or is it the human spirit simply powerful enough to make the sun rise by sheer will alone?"

Like them? Some are happy, mean, silly, or just plain out make you think. Of course this list has been edited to what I liked. Shifting through profiles takes along time...

News... of some sort

People said that they wanted to know about my Saturday!! Wow didn't think people really wanted to know... but it's really nice to know.

'Kay, we'll do a quick rundown then. In the morning I got up about tenish, and did homework. My little brother thinks I am a nerd for trying to get it done... but I had alot to do, did that till about elevenish, had lunch, let my dog out to run and helped my dad pick apples.

Anyone want apples? That one tree gave us a little more than a garbage bucket (one of the big ones you take to the curb). I realized once again that I am afraid of hights. Who likes going up a ladder only braced agaisnt some branches that very well might give under your weight? I admire my dad so much for going up there as if he didn't care. Heights and Pony don't mix that well. So after my dad got down the ladder, I went to go and chill with a Sarah. We went and got some slushies... Sarah was surprised that I can't have gum in my mouth and drink a slushy at the same time.

So we got to her house, and like most girls, decided to do our nails. She had a pretty sweet idea, with just putting black nail polish on the very outer part of her nail and calling it a English manicure... opposed to a French manicure. During this we were having a pretty good talk and catching up with each others lives.

So then we realize that if we don't make food soon, we're going to be late... and that we were, by five or ten minutes... didn't matter as no one else was ready to leave yet anyway. So we get up there, and there were some pretty cool bands playing. My favorite one of course was from HistoryMaker. Salvador was intresting, but played much too loud for anyone to really hear you could listen, but you couldn't hear. Then came on Joy Willams. I am pretty close to netural on her... she's alright to listen to. She has a bit of developing to do. She did have this incredably cute accent while singing...

And I already made my comment on the last band. In the middle A Guy came on to give a talk. Pretty much to call unbelivers to become belivers. I felt pretty akward at this point in time. I mean, what are you supposed to do? Go up again? Or stay back and support the ones that decide not to go up. Even if it is the first time? In the end I just stayed in my set. I didn't like the speaker. Truthfully, I zoned out much of what he was saying. Opps...

Then on the ride back we tried to get Addy to dance, but she wouldn't. Don't know why... speaking of Addy, you're in trouble. And as a side note, how'd your soccer game go? If you answer your still in trouble, if you don't your in more trouble.

Then I've had a pretty busy week with stuff... like a yesterday. School, lots of homework, help out at Netural Zone, dog training pretty much right after, and then I got to go babysitting, and I had to do some of my work over there. It was alright, we watched the movie Eight Below. My mom got it.... I love that movie... mainly because it is not cheesy at all.

By the way, I is collecting quotes. So if you have any really cool quotes leave them by or post them on your own blog and let me know to take a look.

Lord of the Dance

I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the Moon & the Stars & the Sun
I came down from Heaven & I danced on Earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth:

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced for the scribe & the pharisee
But they would not dance & they wouldn't follow me
I danced for fishermen, for James & John
They came with me & the Dance went on:

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced on the Sabbath & I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame!
They whipped & they stripped & they hung me high
And they left me there on a cross to die!

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body & they thought I'd gone
But I am the Dance & I still go on!

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the Life that'll never, never die!
I'll live in you if you'll live in Me -
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He!
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!

These are for you Werner, now please learn the proper lyrics to the chours at least...

Now, for the actual post... I was going to post about Friday night and Saturday... but I dunno if you wanna hear it.

And it's kinda late to go jabbering on about that now.

I got Snow Dogs... for those who don't know it's an awesome movie... poor old Jack...and guess what? I have the first part of the V speach memorized... pronucation might need a bit of work though...

V's V speech

"VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate."

"This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition."

"The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

And does anyone wish to tell me how to make actual titles?...

My Week

Okay. Where to start? Let's see... lots to say, let us see if I remeber it all. We'll start... Wednesday. Why? 'Cause that was the first day of leadership training, held by the one and only...(drumroll) Andrew. Which, before that brings me to another topic. That would be one of regrets. Lots of them. Mostly about the things that I could have done while Rob was Youth Pastor, but I was too scared to do it. Most of you don't know, but it took me something like three to four months to go to youth consitantly, and not freak out at the last moment and decide to go home. It took me about a year after that to consitantly go to a SPY cell, without bowing out at the last minute. I did that lots. Because of this skiddish nature I skipped out on growing deeper into the youth group. There are so many 'I could haves' you could make a short story of them. Going to youth at that time however did serve a purpose, I gained confidance. Which probably in the grand scheme of things is a good thing. So now we have this new Youth Pastor, who's still getting used to us as we are getting used to him. This brings me to last Wednesday night were we held the first SPY cell leadersip meeting. My older brother was there with his binder full of stuff from the one that Rob had done last year... The disscussion that ensued was informative. I liked it anyway.

Thursday we got assgined this huge Biology assignment which I had just completed, due Thursday, no I didn't leave it to the last minute, I just finised it the day before, that's all. So then there's friday, nothing big about that, except Youth. Where Andrew callenged us to do some stuff, I forget now, but I have it all down in notes. Notes (Outside of school can be very good things) are going to take 'cause your not going to remeber it all. That's that. One pet peeve about Andrew and Ruben though, they use some really cool quotes, but I never have time to get them all down!! Then Saturday arrives. My parents and my little sister go upisland to celebrate a church opening there. I go hiking with Addy and Laura. No oranges for you two. EVER. Just cause I was acting resonsible does not give you leave not to. Honestly. But besides that it was greats amounts of fun. Exploring... Laura should get the chair with wheels and take it down the hill with dirt. That I would like to see. We also got to see lots of dogs... hi puppies...

Then Sunday comes along, go to church, and after hang out with Liz and talk about an idea I had last year about getting some Christain books in to the school. I need a list more than anything right now. So any suggestions are very welcome. Let me tell you what are the most common though. Velvet Elvis, Skrewtape Letters, God Sumggler...there was another... oh well. Ah, yes, Blue Like Jazz. Any suggestions are welcome. Now we'll move to Monday in which a sckooth group meeting was held at Liz's. Some pretty big dreams came up there. Good stuff. Tuesday I did homework all day mostly, and Wednesday was the last of the SPY cell training. Apparently I get to be an assitant leader to a person I don't recall ever meeting at a time and date not determind on a focus that is still sketcky and up in the air. So when it is up and running come check it out. I also get to attend the Leadership meeting now. That should be fun. Thursday was dog training, and that brings us to today.

Today, I got out of school, helped my Mom out, came home, helped her more, fooled around on the compy, and greeted my Dad once he came back. Did I mention that my Dad is working on the other side of Sooke now? And he is staying there for the weeks that he's working there? Only coming home weekends. So that was kinda big. I hadn't seen my Dad since Sunday, and he finally came home, only to Leave really early Monday morning again. I don't want him to go... So then I went to Youth and found out that a bunch of my friends are going through pretty tough times right now. That made my day all the much brighter *please note sarcasm*. The SPY cells also got annouced. Now I am, to tell the truth a fair bit nervous about my cell. Not of the cell itself, but of o t h e r things. Like invading on my brother. Sounds weird doesn't it? Let me explain. Me and my older brother see each other outside of the house alot. We go to the same school, hang out with the same people and go to the same activites. And now I am going into leadership where he previously could go alone. No one like seeing a sibling that much. I don't want to be viewed as a tag-along either. I want to be able to do the things I want to and still give my brother his space... it's just kinda hard I guess. Ah well.

I have more to say about things you would not guess, but I'll tell them to you later, my hands are a little numb, making typing difficult, and I am tired, making me semi colon happy. Goodnight.

School and Dentists

Right now I am probably undating this faster than normal people. First of all I don't care second of all can you say 'sleep devrivation'? This sleep devrivation is 'special' too. It's brought on by getting up at three or four in the morning to take pills so you can think straight... and to minimalize pain. Which brings me around to my main point. Today I got to go to the denist. This may or may not seem weird to you, but today was the first day that I have ever been awake and had someone work on my teeth. Two years ago I got put to sleep so that they could work. But today? I learned that I like my denist. Alot. He managed to get the freezing needle in without too much pain on my part. And he told me that whenever I felt pain to put up my right hand and he would stop what he was doing to make it not hurt. And he made it not hurt. 'Cause you see I am different. I am what he calls his 'one in a million' case. That would be because they can't use the usual type of freezing on me. Why? Because of my heart. It's also very special. That's for later though. So through about an hour I got to have two freezing needles stuck into my gums. Well, techniaclly three... one to make sure that the pain didn't returned too soon... I am pretty sure that stuff also puts me to sleep. Honestly. As soon as I got home from that I slept for three hours, dead to the world. And my little sister was being quiet loud too. I found that out after I woke up. Now the question you've all been waiting for... Why did she have to go to the denist? Well, apparently it wasn't just an abbsess. There was another tooth right beside that was on its way for abbsess-ing. The one that was abbsess-ing was the one creating all the pain. The one that had the abbsess was the one that helped cause all the swelling. Yes lots of swelling. You wouldn't see it though. It was so swollen under my lip that I couldn't lift it up. Even with my fingers I had lots of trouble lifting my lip up. That's how bad it was. You know you're special when your denist says 'I haven't seen one of these in about five years'.

To answer the question, yes that's why I am not at youth. My eyes are twitching, telling me to go back to sleep. That's what my other topic for this blog was... school; more specifically, teachers and classes. My classes go, Math with Mr.Alderson (apparently he's not the best math teacher in the world... and math comes very hard for me... so anyone, help? I already having trouble.) Then Biology with Mr. Hilton (what's funny is so far I have not had another science teacher since I came to Parkland) then English Honors with Mr. Lindoff (last semseter he's teaching!!) and finally Foods with Mrs. Mazzio... dunno how to spell her name, and she doesn't get the honor of having her name properly spelt. I don't like her. At all. She's loud... and her teaching style doesn't fit what you need for a foods class. Luckly she isn't here for the whole semseter. She's only here 'till about the middle of October. Thankfully. You see what's happening is Mrs. Laws (better known as Miss. Rush) is soon going on maturnity leave. And Mrs. Maze is retireing. So our food teacher is really a consuiller, filling in for the food teacher. She's already really botching it up. If I don't like the perment Foods teacher maybe I'll drop the course... maybe not. Unfortunately, I have the loud mouth teacher next semseter too. So if I drop Foods now I'll have to deal with her, if I stay I can drop that next semseter. I have her in Family Management, which is a shame, cause I was looking forward to that class. Ack, oh well. I am really happy with Biology and English though... not so much with Math. Never with math. Ever. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to take it, but this is more my older brother's field. NOT mine. I'll take the books... I LIKE books... just not books on Math, please.

Ouch moved to less ouch + school.

You know how I wrote about the absess in my last post? Well, the good thing is that it doesn't hurt so much any more. The bad thing is it still affects me trying to eat. It still hurts a bit to eat, and when something is out of wack with your body, it likes to try and correct it before taking care of your other needs. Or, at least, that's what I've found. Example, you're so tired you don't feel like eating. Maybe that's just me.

After a pretty fun time with Alyssa at the waterslides and various stores, I came home for a while and did some training with my dog and my dad. Sounds kinda funny, doesn't it? To start from the beginning, when we first got my dog, she didn't really like my older brother and freaked out at my dad. The reason she freaked out at my dad? Well, for one, he is an older guy, and at the time she didn't like them either. Seems now, she's fine with my dad, but hates my dad's hat. Or when my dad wears his hat. Especailly if my dad is wearing his hat and my dog is between me and my dad, or my dad trys to hug me. So we did a small bit of work on that, I finished packing 'cause I was going to be going on a sleepover, over at Ad's house later that night. I had forgotten that I had promised to meet my mom over at DQ for supper though... and didn't end up calling her until about six... I was supposed to have met her at four... but she didn't seem to angry with me. Which suprised me. In a very good way. To try and make up for it I apologized a seemily billion times... and she wasn't mad that I was that sorry either. At some point I am pretty sure I got pretty annoying. So I get to Ad's house and we have some good times... with a soccer ball... and not so much with a baseball bat, and exploring. Guess what Ad? I found two cd's of the Crazy Frog at WalMart when we were doing more last minute shopping today.

We had also done some yesterday... and that sums up my yesterday pretty much. Yesterday was also the day that I figured out that my mouth didn't hurt so much anymore. By the way, the anibotics that the denist gave me has been moving the infection downward, mainly so that they can operate on it. This leaves me with no more swelling (as slight as it was) on my face, but now leaves me a fat upper lip. I don't care if you can't see it, I can certaintly feel it. I also can't move the top left upper side of my lip now. Because of infection. So smiling is lopsided... and I can't whistle that good to my dog either.

Yesterday we also went to the Christain Book and Music store. My mom had wanted to get a cd of music that she liked, and I was looking at the books. Found one that I have wanted since HistoryMaker and one that I have heard alot about, and decided that is might be worth getting. The first book is called, Every Young Women's Battle, and the second is The Screwtape Letters. We also got the conterpart for my brother's, Every Young Man's Battle. I started reading EYWB and am almost done Screwtape Letters, also am in the middle of a book my older brother got me for my B-day, and have three to read that Ad said that I should. Yay for books!

Today at WalMart while browing around, I found what I think is a pretty cool game. Yes it does have something to do with horses... it was on sale and I ask my mom if she would get it for me and I would pay her back, because I didn't have any money on me as we went up right after getting out of school. Talking of school... Couldn't they have taken ten minutes to do what they did today, tomorrow? They're already going to make us have tag every morning this week... I could have slept in! I know some people who didn't even show... Something really weird, today in tag a guy was mooning all the girls to show off a new tattoo... Not something I need to see first thing in the morning.

Last year at the end of the year, Liz was taking suggestions on how we could influance our school in the coming year... I think, if not that, something along those lines. I suggested getting some books and getting them into the library. Mainly 'cause at that time my older brother was reading some intresting things, and I thought that maybe they'd allow it in as a refreance book. They have a Bible, why not more literature? It doesn't even have to be all theory stuff, just things that don't revolve around the lead female character not wearing enough and being 'sensual'.

That's pretty much all for now... I don't wanna get up tomorrow morning... who wants to wake up to the sweet smell of math textbook?

Now, where to start?

You know how I said before that I had nothing to do? And you also know that saying, 'When it rains, it pours'. Well, now lots is going on. Originally the reason I decided not to go to camp this year was to help Ado pack up and move over here. For those who don't know, she's coming over here for a while, so that she and her brothers can attend public schools. Also so that they can knock down they're old house and bulid a new one in it's stead. Not exactly where it was... for very good reasons.

My mouth after my brother's started bugging him, seemed to decide that it was time to join in. So today after sending them off to camp we got to go to the denist. Turns out I got a er... I knew the name... I knew it!! How about I tell you what I meant and you fill in the blank. It's a pocket of liquid that is putting pressure on one of the roots of my teeth. This is making it hard to eat, even when I am medicated. That's part of the reason that my mom took me in the first place, she got concered that I wasn't eating enough... or at least not as much as I usually do. I also couldn't sleep very well. Apparently the spirit I show in things is also lacking. That would be directly from having to put up with pain 24/7 since Tuesday night. She didn't know about it until Wednesday evening, though.

Since Ado's family had mostly moved over here, and I didn't have that much to help with anymore, me and Ado decided that we would have a sleep over. Especially since she wasn't allowed to go to the camp out. So now I have that to look forward too. To jump around slightly, in my previous post I told of the dinner that my parents wished for my family to attend, they have another one on Sunday, but that is not what I am talking about. The previous dinner acutally turned out pretty good. They had a dog, and were trying to teach it to rollover and didn't quite know how, so I helped them get started. Also the fact that I knew one of the ladies' daughters helped out a bit.

Jumping back to present, the next thing that they wish that we attend is Sunday afternoon at two. Directly after my brothers come back home. I remember what I was trying to say earlier, or rather, I asked my mom and she told me. It's an absess. Dunno if that's the way you spell it... but oh well. More jumping, tomorrow I go with Alyssa to the waterslides. I am so excited about that. I imagine that it would be more fun if my mouth wasn't bugging me, so I'll be careful to take the antibotic, just for you Alyssa.

Jumping once again, the baby shower for Issaih was so much fun. Sarah should host more baby showers. I do kinda feel sorry for the guys though. Some of them really wanted to come. Nothing you can to do to change the past... I am pretty sure that's all I have right now... I had some good thoughts earlier, but I forgot. Again. I could tell you about how my older brother got me a book for my birthday, and after he got realized that it was second in the series, so later on went and got me the first one... but I dunno if you wanna hear about that.

So this is me saying, good night!

All alone, with nothing to do.

Apparently still no one yet know of my blog... guess that's kinda my fault, but oh well. I still don't have alot to write yet. Nothing much of intrest has happened. I guess for those looking for a good laugh I'd refer you to http://www.phantomandv.piczo.com/ It's good for laughs. The two main characters are Phantom of the Opera and V for Vendetta. Aka Phantom and V.

Tonight's gonna be busy... and tomorrow night as well. 'Cause tonight my parents want me to go with them to a dinner thing at my Mom's 'bosses' house. (She's not really her 'boss' more as co-worker' but Mom still gets paid by her so...) After that is the baby shower for Issaih, which reminds me... I still gotta wrap his present. I still have to take a shower before all that happens. And tomorrow night, we have barracades to set up for the last Sidney summer market, I can only make it there for set up. Why you ask? Thats what makes tomorrow night busy, we take my dog up to training, so she doesn't try jumping the fence again and attacking other dogs... Ya, lots of fun. Come over and see her sometime, she loves meeting new people and playing.

That's all that's really going on right nowish... by the way, if you do keep reading this blog, you'd better not mind all the dot, dot, dots... 'cause I can tell you now, there's going to be lots. After tonight people should have read this... why? 'Cause I'll have told them about it. Of course. Unless someone decides to read my profile before that and finds that yes I do indeed have a blog up. That could be funny. Yes, I know, only in my world. To bad you couldn't join me.

I figured it out, I figured it out...

I figured it out!! Finally! I started posting this once before, but my compy deicided that it was a good time to restart itself. So as I was saying, I figured it out in a time that nothing is going on for me. At all. So I thought I'd post this to let people know that things will be coming in the future... yup.
