So school for me has officially started. its just like homeschool, but lots more ppl, limited time between classes, more books, more walking and more teachers. I like the fact that I get to see my friends everyday. But it's gonna start making everything seem soo slow so it's gonna feel like forever for the weekend to get here.
oh and band camp was interesting. for those who missed it, Betsy NOlen described it as hell with whipped cream. that was pretty much it. i'll post pics later...or what I got of pics.
You are Flat Sandals
Casual yet flirty You look great in a simple top and jeans Your look is approachable and cute!
Listening to- This Charming Man by Death Cab For Cutie
So I just got back from Florida. I had a very *interesting* time there. I hung out with a bunch of...ppl...who smoke...pot...and...drink...and have mouths on them....just an ordinary week. no biggie though, they didnt get high or drunk while I was there, so that's good. but I had lots of fun. Made new friends, and connected with old ones.
I got some shots in my arms, then I went to Matanda's[WHERE FUN IS THE ONLY WORD IN HER DICTIONARY] which is where the name of this post came from, then later I went to gymnastics which made me feel really depressed. the way home, my mom was being all in my face about school this year.
So we decided to play cranium but the playdough that comes with the came is totally retarded. so we got the other playdough (BALLS!) and it was all glittery, and Mike and Joey were sitting next to each other, and halfway through the game, Joey got the glitter all over his hands and he decided to attack Mike. So they're sitting there fighting, and we're like "who's winning?" and someone says, " I think Mike's winning." So Matanda is sitting next to mike and she starts to tickle him and Mike just shouts, "THIS IS A MANLY FIGHT!!" Irony is great isn't it? getting glitter on each other is definetly manly. watever.

this past week was soo much fun. we had lots of fun in our room! ;) the projects were lots of fun too. basically it was an amazing week.
So on Saturday I got back from the missions trip. And since my parents were in Minesota this weekend Josh stayed at our house to "house sit." it was kinda weird.
my tirade-
so i'm sitting here wondering when my flight to Florida is. I wondering cause I wanna know if it conflicts with The youth group party or the Marching Band Picnic. So I check my moms email and I find out that I leave on Wednesday the 1st of August. aka in 2 days. So i start freaking out and not cause its in 2 days and I had no idea. i'm freaking out because I JUST got back from a slightly stressful and busy trip. I DONT WANNA LEAVE AGAIN!!! I've just been gone soo much this year and I dont wanna keep leaving my friends and everyone. maybe I'm just really tired from band. i dunno.
i'll put pics up later.
now 2 vids that balance everything out
a very loud song by Nightwish. you dont have to watch the vid. just listen... (oh yeah. the song is called Nemo)
and now a much quieter video by Bon Jovi. Its called Till we ait strangers anymore. the vid is boring cause it isnt the real one. We're doin this song for somthing in band. here it is-
OK! this bandtotally rocks!! They're similar to Evanescence. but mostly in appearance. The girl...she has a higher vocal range than Amy Lee from Evanescence. AND she can split her vocal chords. ya know how you can play a 2 notes that go together on the piano? well she can do that....but with her voice. They're just amazing. Nightwish- Over the hills and far away.
oh yeah, THEY'RE FROM FINLAND!
and the girl you see singing in this vid left the band in *think) 2005. They have just replaced her. :(
And now that i've seen the majority of my friends I'm pretty happy.
PPL still left to see- AACS ppl, and the Dwyers.
But I'd really luv to see y'all more often.
Ok So a few highlights from my past few weeks are displayed in my pics. hehehe.
THe one of Josh...well can't you see how that's a highlight? Pink Toes. ok this is my friend Connor Craig. His team...well they painted some of the guy's toes pink. lol The rose on Josh is cause Elaine put a dragon on his right shoulder and Noelle put a skull and crossbones on his left. So someone(i think it was corrie) put a rose on his arm to even it out. The other picture is mostly representation. It represents ppl, and friends. The ones that I've made and grown closer too. The horse is the one I rode at RVR. Tracer. I have some stories about him. The pic of a bunch of girls are the ones I roomed with. They rock! oh and the guy is my friend Blane. If I told you about him. thats a pic of him. He rocks too. ;) and the other pic is of my cousin Sasha(he's got a 6-pack), my Grandma and Katia my other cousin. :D
Now an awesome vid by Hoobastank called The Reason. ♥♥ (ok so the vids not all that spectacular but the song, I like)
o yea, band started...To come- Busy Weekends and afternoons after school this fall. yeah me. :(
Greetings from FLorida!!! haha so lemme tell ya real quick whats been happening here in Fl
ON Saturday I went to the airport(I stayed at the SIlllamans on Friday night and Mrs. Sillaman dropped me off at the airport) got on the plane and as we were taxiing out, I got a very random nose bleed. I just felt my nose running and I wiped my nose and I saw blood. So yeah. that was fun. Then when we landed the lady who sat next to me, her daughter got a nose bleed. but she was picking her nose...ew. anyway. So my grandma and my cousin Katia picked me up from the airport. (see picture). isn't she perty?
anyway. So I got to my aunts house and we went swimming. Later the guys showed up. Sasha and Dima. Y'all met Dima but not Sasha. dude. that kid is 13 and has a 6-pack. it's scary. oh yeah. he doesnt talk in english much. he knows it but doesnt use it. and Dima is a dadushka. hehehe.
sunday I made breakfast and we went to church then I went to lunch then to Brusters then to my aunts house so Katia could get her clothes then my grandma and I went back to her house where I slept for like 3 or 4 hours. I was sooo tired. and I dont know why. then I made dinner.
so today we were supposed to go horseback riding but nope. thats tomorrow. yeah....
oh yeah, "and it was so." Katia was reading the creation story in the bible and she wanted to kno what the word "so" meant. I had no idea how to explain it. Isn't it funny how we can use a word over and over again in our everyday lives and not know how to explain it, and sometimes not know what it means? It was that way with a bunch of words, like "was." oh does anybody know what "firmament" means?
for those who dont know how that's pronounced- oi-vey
it's french. for something like "oh dear"
Listening to- The sounds my computer makes when the sound is messed up. :(
So last week I was at River Valley Ranch. IT.WAS.AWESOME!!!!!!!
yeah. I'll put pics up later. I'm just here to say that I'm not gonna be here this week or the week after. Victory Jam then Florida. so yeah. fare thee well!
I went w/ my grandma to DC yesterday…after we went to Virginia cause we got lost then got lost around Union Station..yeah. crazy. So this is how our travels went today-
From MD Through DC To VA To DC (the following is after we did whatever we came to do) to VA to DC to BALTIMORE toward New York got lost in Baltimore headed back to DC Then headed to Glen Burnie Then to Annapolis Then to Glen Burnie Then to Hanover Then to Cromwell Station Then to Glen Burnie..again Then to Baltimore Then back towards DC Then towards Bowie and Upper Marlboro Then to Ferndale Then to Glen Burnie Then to Shoppers food warehouse Then home
Yeah…we got lost….A LOT!
So I saw the Yoests while in DC. IT WAS SO COOL!!!!!!! For those who know and possibly love the Yoests(like me) then you’d think that’s cool too. If not….that’s your problem. So when they left our church about 6 months ago James(the youngest) had blonde hair….now he has brown hair. It’s been a long time…kinda And John is the same as ever. Crazy and retarded. Sara and Gibby…rambunctious as ever. And Hannah is awesome as ever. She hates her school and new church….So the only friends she has are in MD. Oh and get this- everyone thinks she’s this freaky emo kid. lol. But we know it’s not true. Oh and she shadowed an intern in a Senators office as well. And she’s got braces, but they’re nice.
BEING WITH A FRIEND IN A BIG CITY ALONE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I got to walk around a bit with Hannah without adult supervision. Lol. so it wasn’t like we went all around. We just explored the Smithsonion and went to dinner around the corner. But I must say, it was soo exhilarating being without adults or siblings in a big city. It was so much fun. I had a blast.
But the way home wasn’t terribly fun We got directions, yes. They fell through. Then we got lost over and over again. So around 10:30 pm we called Mr. Davidson and asked for directions(he’s come through before and apparently knows the state like the back of his hand). But something always went wrong. There’s this place called Mohawk industries and we passed that once to go to DC and twice(LOL) coming back. We went in circles constantly. Oh yeah. It.was.crazy.
If you’re ever in DC-
2 restaurants you should check out- Potbelly and Ollies Trolley
(it's just audio) Crazy Mary is a slow girl who looks up to no one. Would do anything for a cold one. Wishes she could find her way home. Got the look on her face and her stare's like ray gun. We walked by everyday and I wish there was something I could do for her.
Maybe if I took a little time to talk then she'd heal a little if she wants to. She can run but let's teach her how to walk away now. I'll shake a little if she wants to she'll laugh a little if she needs to. There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind.
She watches the world pass her by like a freight train. They all call her the same name. Laughin' as they point and stare at her. So she crys out to God up in Heaven, been prayin since she was 11. For Him to send someone to meet her there.

And no one knows the thoughts, the dreams, and the ideas she's got and contains inside. She's broken apart and her heart is still lookin for somewhere to feel alright.
