Life...

Why does life have to be so hard sometimes? Or so very complicated?
Why can't people get along?
Why can't people listen?
Why is it so hard to be friendly?
Why are there feelings of unsureness?
Why is there annoyance towards others?
Why are people stupid?
Why can't people understand?
Why do they fly off the handle when you haven't even said anything bad?
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?

AND DON'T GIVE ME THE ANSWER BECAUSE THERE IS SIN IN THE WORLD 'CAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THAT!!!!!!!! I don't even need answers. This is just venting.

Spiritual Gifts

So in my bible study we're going through the spiritual gifts and which ones we have and are we actuating those gifts.

So far these seem to be the gifts that I have. I little unsure about some of them. Maybe that just means I need to grow more in that area:)

Helps
Mercy
Service
Giving
Wisdom
Encouragement/Exhortation

So what do ya'll think? Would you say yes to most of these? Or no? It doesn't really matter what you say though, because if it's a gift God has giving me then he will help me to grow more in that gifting:)

We're not done going through this study of Spiritual Gifts these are just the ones I think I have so far:)

:)

It's good to be loved by Jesus:) He's awesome:)

And that's that.

I've officially decided that I will not like him.

And that's that.

A conversation between cousins.

This all started when I saw my cousins status on facebook and couldn't resist commenting on it.
and this is what it turned into......


My Cousin's Status: "You and me going fishin in the dark"

My Comment: "What If I don't want to?"

My Cousin: "then we go fish in day time"

Me: "What if I don't want to go fishing?"

Cousin: "then im going to drag you behind my truck and watch your skin rip off as i go 160 down the highway"

Me: "How are you going to get to California and then drag me to Canada to drag me behind your truck?"

Cousin: "i'll drive myself down there and personally tie your ankles togethor and tie the other end of the chain to my bumper and watch you die"

Me: "Wow. That's a little sadistic. But what if I get to you first and sneak some sleeping drugs into your pills and then tie YOU up to the back of a truck and watch You die? Huh?!?!! Whatcha' think'a that FOO'?!?!?!?!"

Cousin: "you cant drive a truck, you cant even drive your mini cooper"

Me: "That was a lame comeback. I can tell your scared! Mwa hahaha! That's right! You should fear your older cousin!!!"

Cousin: "you have man hands"

Me: "Dude you're losing your touch. That was a really lame comeback. You should really work on that. Oh and you might want to put some lotion on your woman hands."

Cousin: "you have to much baggage im sorry"

Me: "I'm not the only one."



And thus that concludes the conversation.

Haircut, again

So every once in while i get this desire to seriously cut my hair, even if I've already cut it somewhat recently I can't help it! I start getting REALLY annoyed with how long my hair is getting (even if everyone around me keeps on telling me it's short) and I just want to cut it so... I do:) So that's why when Hannah said she was getting her hair cut I thought "Man. My hair has been getting kinda long, maybe I should get mine cut also."

Here's a few pictures, one with just me the other with Hannah and me, for you all:)

Grody old man

Ok. So there's this grody old man in my dance class. I always try to avoid dancing with him but he'll come up to you and put his hand out, what are you supposed to do? "sorry dude I don't dance" umm... you're at a dance class. "Sorry dude I don't dance with weird creepy old men" yeah... that one doesn't work to well either. Regardless of him being grody, he is a very good dancer. So when he's not trying to make you dance in a way you don't want to dance ("getting WAY to close dude!") it's actually quite fun:) It's also really good experience, to help you with your dancing skills. I just wish he wasn't so grody!

Decision

So I've decided to reread Sacred Marriage. Why? Well recently I've just been really mean to Anne (my niece) because I just get so frustrated when she doesn't do something or when she's not falling asleep and her excuse is "I don't know how to sleep!" I'm also just getting annoyed because two of my sisters don't know how to take care of their children! Then they just push their kids onto the ones without the kids!

So what I'm getting around to is that the last time I read Sacred Marriage it helped me put a new perspective on my relationship with people and how I needed to change myself and not blame the other person for what was wrong. So I'm hoping that if I reread this book I'll be able to start looking at myself more and become a better auntie to Anne.

I would suggest this book to EVERYONE! Married or unmarried, single or dating, whoever! It's a great book if you try to look at it in the context of your relationship with God and the people around you! Read it!

Contenment

I have this weird feeling of contentment even though I'm pretty sure that I like this guy right now. It's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me. I've never been content AND liked someone at the same time.

Life

I'm not really one to write much on my blog, especially now that I don't have to. I often wonder if this will change when I go away to college? I feel like it won't change but that I'll feel obligated to write in it just so I can keep my family up on all the happenings of Diana, since I think I probably won't be calling any of my family members to often. I can't wait to go to some college outside of Southern California! I really hope that I will be able to go to Cornell. But that might be a little unrealistic. My sister Rachel is always telling me that it will happen and that I have to graduate with sume kum lauda (I really have absolutely no idea how to spell or pronounce that). She always has a lot more faith in my ability's than I do. I'm just kinda taking life as it comes and see what happens. I've been trying to let God lead my life in the direction he wants it to go, but it's really hard to know what He wants for my life. I wish that hearing Gods voice was a lot easier then it is.

Well that's about it for now. I think the only reason I just wrote on my blog was because I'm avoiding homework ;-P Well I guess I should get back to that hw so that I don't fail the class and so that I can fulfill Rachel's wish of me graduating sume kum lauda.

Gah!!

GAH!!! WHY IS HE SO ATTRACTIVE!!!!!!!

Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions

4th of July

I just had one of the most amazing 4th of July's that I've had in a long time! I really love going to Fred and Carrie's for the 4th and I don't really know why we stopped going. But now I think we might start up the tradition again! I'm so excited!!!

Haircut!!!

One of the things that I always look forward to is getting a haircut! Here's a picture for all of you who may want to see what it looks like:)

Creepy sinkhole diving.

I find it funny that I've already written about sinkholes and now here is this guy who decides to dive into a sinkhole in the ocean. This guy is insane. I would never do that!

Sinkholes

Sinkholes. Giving you the feeling of dread as it looks like you're going to be sucked into the center of the earth. Don't know what a sinkhole is? Well here are a few photos that I found, there are definitely a lot scarier ones to look at. Google it and found out for yourself the sheer awe and wonder of how scary it is.

Minesweeper - The Movie

Classic awesomeness.

Grades

I am super excited! My first semester of college and I got an A in my English class and I got a 98 out of 100 on my Math final!! Who know that I would do so well my first year of school! :) Now all I have to do is try to keep up these good grades throughout my life in college. Let's hope that I do well:) I have to keep up with my sisters and them graduating with Honors!

It's over

So I didn't end up making the deadline of 45 by the end of the semester. Oh well:/ I at least got 38! I think that was pretty good:) Funny thing is, now that I don't have to blog for a school assignment I'll probably end up blogging a lot just cuz I want to. Well, that may or may not happen. But at least now when I blog I don't need to worry about it being 600 to 900 words:) I can just put one sentence up if I really want to:)

Peace Out! :)

Lady Gaga acapella cover by some college boys

Let me just start off by saying, I really don't like Lady Gaga. I kind of hate her music! Well just mainly the lyrics. Sometimes she has really awesome beats but the lyrics are just TERRIBLE!! I wish that more Christian artists would start to have better beats. That's the problem with Christian music! Mostly all the beats stink! If I were a singer I would totally have AWESOME music! Everyone would love my songs! Haha:) Probably not. But whatever:)

So back to Lady Gaga. I was perusing along and I found this absolutely hilarious video that a bunch of guys did of one of her songs. They do it so well that I actually kind of like how it sounds, there voices are really good. So I would like to share it with you:)





The obviously had WAY to much time on their hands. I mean come on! Look at that choreography!

Hail Storm in Oklahoma City

Story is. I went to check my email and, as there always is, yahoo had it's news page thingy up. I saw this and thought "Heh, that might be interesting to watch." Guess what... It was definitely worth watching. At first you're just like "whoa! that's crazy." Then you become like "WHAT THE.....!!! THAT"S CRAZY AWESOME!!!!!" You'll understand what I mean when you watch it:)

Sorry about the dude. He really needs to learn how to keep the camera focused on one spot! Mainly the pool. I was getting so frustrated at him I just wanted to reach in through the video and do it for him! To bad that's impossible.





I think that if I lived there I would be freaking out! Dude... like seriously!?! You could (most likely would) die if you went outside! I think I'd be afraid that the roof would fall in or something! Or maybe that the glass would break or something.

SWAGGER WAGON

Okay. So this is really really really hilarious!! I found out about it through my English class. During the presentation of our research papers one of the dudes who went up wanted to first show us this video before he presented what his research paper was about. His paper had nothing to do with this video, he just wanted to show it to us. I am quite glad that he did! This is so funny I was laughing so hard! That is why I wish to share it with all of my peeps who read my blog:) I hope you enjoy it!





Well, what did you think of it? Wasn't it so funny! Do you wish you had a "swagger wagon" now?

The Last Unicorn - Now That I'm A Woman

Okay. So my sister Rachel sent this to in an email telling me that I needed to blog about it. My I just say that this has got to be one of the WORST films EVER!! What the poo is with this? It's so weird!!! I don't really remember this movie very well but my family talks about it a lot. There are some really strange things about this movie that make absolutely no sense! The storyline is also very weird and retarded and stupid! Why would anybody actually want to watch it?





So the story behind why Rachel sent this to me and told me to blog about it is this. I when I become a "woman" this song was sung to me constantly! It was really quite annoying! But they more I'd tell them to stop the more it seemed that they would sing it. This song is so weird and sung so terribly how can anybody actually say that they like "The Last Unicorn"? It's so ridiculously weird! If you want to know how weird it is just go rent it and see for yourself! Although I have to warn you, you'll probably end up having nightmares about this movie for the rest of your life! Don't say I didn't warn you!

Continuation of the Subway Story.

I stopped and had to look away from him to remember what it was that I wanted. After I looked away from him I remembered! How weird! I couldn't remember what I wanted until I looked away! that's just odd.

As he was making my sandwich, and asking me what I wanted on it, I tried not to look at him. I kept on not looking at him but instead looked either at the sandwich or the counter of something, anything other then him! During this whole turmoil that was going on in my heart, apparently he was a little bit flustered with me also! Flustered? With me? I was in baggy clothes and dirty and my hair was a mess! Yet he seemed just as flustered as I was! To prove my point this is what happened!

As he was making my sandwich, and I was not looking at him, he stopped and said "wait... did I already put this on here?" I was like "I don't know (in my head "I'm already distracted enough with you, how am I supposed to know if you already put that on my sandwich?")" He seemed a little embarrassed and nervous, and so was I. Then he was like "oh yeah I did." It was all so nerve racking, so I was kind of relieved that we weren't eating there.

As mom and I got in the car (did you forget she was with me?) I let out a big breath that I had been holding in and said " Oh man!!! He was SO HOT!!!" Mom just laughed and said that he had seemed to think I was attractive also.

After all that, every time I went to that subway, he was there. When I would walk in with mom he seemed to try to be the one to take our order. If he wasn't the one the he tried to be at the cash register or he would come out and "sweep" the floor. It was so funny! We never really talked to each other but we both were wanting too:)

Sadly he quit! :( I don't know why he did but it mad me really sad. After that I never saw him again. I refer to this guy as "subway dude" and I miss him a lot. Even to this day, whenever I go to that subway, I'm always hoping that maybe he started to work there again. Although I know that will never happen, it doesn't hurt to hope! :)

Subway

So as I said in my last post... I LOVE SUBWAY!!! If I could marry subway I would! Ok. Maybe that's a little bit dramatic:) As I promised here is the subway story:)

My mom and I had been helping some of our friends pack up stuff in a truck because they were moving (I don't remember were though:/ this was a very long time ago). After we were down my mom asked if I wanted to get something to eat. Why should she even ask that? I'm ALWAYS hungry! So that was just a really silly question. So of course we went to subway! 'cause I love it so much:) As we walked into subway (this was a subway I would frequent) I kind of stumbled back a bit (at least in my mind I did) because right, there behind the counter, was a extremely hot guy! Here I was dressed in really baggy dirty clothes, because I had been helping people move, and here was this REALLY hot guy!

Let me just stop here to tell you something. With how much I frequent subway I always get the exact same thing. The EXACT same thing. It has been this way for years. I never get tired of it. Roasted Chicken on Italian bread, footlong with american cheese, little bit of lettuce, olives, pickles, avocado (must have the avocado!), salt and pepper, and oil and vinegar. That is the sandwich I get ALL the time! Now back to were I was in the story.

So as I went up to the counter and I looked at him as he asked me what I wanted... I forgot! I couldn't remember what it was that I ALWAYS got!! Because as I looked at him my heart skipped a beat and my mind went blank! No guy has EVER had that effect on me! It was so weird!

Well I shall continue this story in the next post:)

Rambling

So I have 14 (now 13) more posts to get for my school work. The deadline is tomorrow and I'm not really sure if I'll actually be able to write 13 more blogs before tomorrow! I procrastinated to much! Since I'm in a rush to finish up this assignment I might start to ramble about nonsense. Like in this post. I'm not really sure what to write so now I'm just writing random things about how I'm not sure what to write right now.

I know what I can talk about!

Tonight I have bible study at my house with some AWESOME ladies! I love bible study! If I end up skipping bible study for just one week, for the rest of that week I feel very depressed and stressed (more then usual)! This week were going to be going through John 17. Christa (one of the amazing ladies) has been looking forward to this chapter for a very long time! It's going to be lots of fun! It's at my house and were making it a potluck! I can't wait to eat all the yummy food that's going to be there:) I love food so much it's ridiculous! I've always said that when I get married (if I get married) and I get into a fight with my husband all he has to do is distract me with food and then the fight will be over! :) That would be so funny if that actually happens:)

Subway's my FAVORITE!!! I love subway so much! Oh I have a great story about subway of which I shall tell you in a different post! :)

Graduation

My sister Rachel is FINALLY graduated after 10 years. TEN YEARS!! Sorry Rachel but I don't plan on following your lead. As my whole family went to her graduation I started thinking about when I'd graduate. I know I just started college so it's a little bit early to start thinking of graduation, but that's just the way my mind goes. Being in the graduation atmosphere starts to get one thinking about the future. Rachel's plans are to go to Kentucky for a "special project" with her friend and then after doing that for a while she's planning on movie to Oregon. I'm not sure if she is planning to make Oregon a permanent home? Who knows if she ever end up using what she got her degree in. :)

Well back to me:) So as I was thinking about college and graduation and future things I thought "I have not idea what I want to do." I really don't know. I used to think that I wanted to get a degree in Art but now I'm not really sure. On the way home from Rachel's graduation in Hannah's car (we took 2 cars because there were to many people to fit into one) Hannah and I started talking about this type of stuff. We talked about how were unsure about lots of things and also about how you may plan your life out but those things may never actually happen in your life. God may have a completely different plan for your life, so no matter how much you plan God may decided that he doesn't want you to do what your planning for your own life. Hannah said that God probably laughs as he sees us planning our lives one way when he has a completely different plan for us. It doesn't me that we shouldn't dream about doing something or try to pursue those dreams it's just that if that's what God wants for you then it'll happen.

I know that was all random and what not, but whatever:) Hannah and I talked a lot more about lots of other things as well. But that is between me and Hannah (and Elizabeth and Lilly 'cause they were also in the car:)

Five O'clock in the Morning

I woke up at 5 O'clock in the morning today. I don't remember the last time I woke up that early. I remember the last time I stayed up that early. I try to make a habit of not waking up earlier then... well lets just say that 5am is WAY to early, for anyone in their right mind, to wake up! Really, why on earth were there so many cars on the road? WHY AREN'T YOU ALL ASLEEP!!! Crazy people!

The reason I was up so early was because of my sister Rachel. She had called me on Friday to ask what I was up to this weekend and I had told I was pretty sure I was free. Apparently her car had on oil leak even though she had just had her car fixed at the mechanic. That meant that she needed someone to be her chauffeur for the weekend. The thing is, she lives all the way in Northridge. So on Saturday night we drove up to Northridge and stayed at the house that she was house sitting at. It was a nice getaway from the stressful life at home. I was able to finish most of my research paper! If I had been home I know that I definitely would not have done any of my paper. So it was good to get away because it helped me focus on what I needed to get down.

All of this to say. We had to come back today but the traffic from LA area starts around 6am so Rachel said we needed to wake up at 5 to get a head start. I really don't like waking up early. Actually I don't really like waking up at all. So we got up at 5 and left. I was really shocked with how many people were awake that early! I'd don't understand these crazy people!

Peoples Brats

I sometimes really hate peoples kids. The other day I was at Disneyland with some friends of mine. It was one of my friends' birthday and my last day at DL for awhile (my pass expired! YAY! Don't forget that I really hate Disneyland). Some of my friends family members were down from Oregon to visit. My friend was really excited because she hadn't seen these family members in a while. I was happy for her. When I got to Disneyland I said hi to everyone and was getting along just fine. But then one of the family members' kids started to go under a chain that was specifically there to let people know that they weren't supposed to go over there. So I used my stern voice (apparently it can be pretty scary) and told him not to do that. He listened to me but then he kept on trying to do it again. It was like he was pushing my buttons or something, or like he wanted me to tell him not to do it. So I just kept on telling him not to. Then he asked me why and I told him that he wasn't allowed to go over there. I was getting somewhat annoyed that his parents weren't doing anything about it. Well we finally went on our way to wherever it was that we were going to next.

After awhile I found out that the mother of the child didn't like the way I had been talking to her kid. But she didn't tell this to me herself. No. She had to go a long roundabout way to inform me that she didn't want me to do that. She told my friends sister who told her mom who told my friend who told me. ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!! What you're not brave enough to come and talk to me yourself? And I wouldn't have been talking like that to your kid if you had been paying attention and taking care of the situation instead of me! Later on I found out that she's actually kinda strict and mean to her kids. Like worse then I was being. I wasn't even being mean! I was just telling the kid he couldn't do what he was doing! So for the rest of the day I wasn't allowed to talk to her kids like that. But OH MAN!!! I really wanted to! She wasn't disciplining her children at all!! They kept on doing things that they weren't supposed to and it really irritated me! GAH! this is why I don't really like other peoples children! It's ok for they parents to tell them not to do something but heaven forbid if you were to tell their child not to do something!!

Huntington Library

I had to go to the Huntington Library for extra credit in my English class. What a pain right? (Note the sarcasm). After I went I had to write a 1 page paper, which I accidentally wrote 2 pages instead, on what my experience was like. So in order to try to fill up my required posts (and so you can know about my experience at Huntington) I shall post up what my paper said.

Here it goes. :)

Huntington Library
Upon my arrival at the Huntington Library I thought that the parking was rather unorganized and confusing. However, once I walked through the opening I was pleasantly surprised by how vast and incredibly enormous the Huntington Library is. The first place I went to was the Library exhibit and saw the Gutenberg Bible. Wow! That is one thick book. I loved going around looking at all the different, marvelously old, books. I love books, they are amazing!
After the Library I went to the gardens. I could not wait to explore all the different types of gardens they have. First came the rose garden. I really love roses! I did not know so many roses could be in one place at the same time. It smelled wonderful as I walked down each little rose filled pathway.
The Japanese garden came next. I was so amazed by its beauty and wonder. It was so fun and quaint, although I was a little disappointed about something. There was this one bridge that I really wanted to walk on but it was off limits. Most likely for safety reason, but I still really wanted to go onto it. As I wandered farther in the Japanese garden I came upon two different ways I could explore. One way led to a quaint little house and the other led down through some steps up to something else. I decided to find out where the second area led. As I went and explored I came across a Dry Landscape Garden. Who knew that simple little rocks combed around on the ground could look so pretty! I was astonished with the beauty of its simplicity. As I walked farther I found some fun little trees. I think they are called Bonsai.
After I was done looking at those I decide that it was time to go and explore the quaint little house I had seen before. As I was walking back I happened across a different path that would lead back to the house. I decided to take that one instead and I’m glad I did! I was able to walk through a fun bamboo path. I’d never seen bamboo in real life so I was rather excited about it. I felt like any moment a ninja would pop out or something.
Once I reached my destination (the little Japanese style house) I was able to look at some fun little rooms with authentic Japanese items. Although going inside was off limits, it was still fun because I was able to see everything from outside. I saw some Yukata’s and wonder what it would be like to wear one.
Once I was done I took a random path of which I did not know where it went. I ended up at the Chinese garden and was again awestruck by some more simple beauty. It was fun going through the little walkways that were there. The Chinese garden had more bridges than the Japanese garden did, and you were allowed to walk across those ones.
I did one last thing before I had to go home. I went into Huntington’s house, which is now the art gallery, and was amazing at the sheer size of the place! As I went from room to room and decided that I really wished that I could have lived there. It’s too late though. It has been turned into an art gallery and can no longer be a house. That is unless I had billions and billions of dollars.
That was the last of my adventures at the Huntington Library. I wish I would have had time to explore it more, but my time was up and I had to get home. I cannot wait until the next time I go!

I hope you enjoyed reading my experience at the Huntington Library:) I hope it made you jealous! Just kidding:) Maybe :-p

I just don't care

I know. I'm procrastinating. But I don't really care. I should be working more on my research paper or I should be working on my math since I have a math final coming up. The problem is. I just don't care.

It's one of those moods when you don't really care about what's going to happen if you don't do the things you should do. So you just don't do them. Although I'm not completely avoiding doing my schoolwork. I'm writing this post! Which I'm supposed to do. I'm supposed to have forty five by the end of this semester. I really don't know if that is going to happen or not. I have 19 (now 18) posts to do before the end of the semester. But don't forget, I'm in the "I don't care" mood.

It's just so hard to write at least 600 words of my feelings of nonsense when I've never really been good at writing my thoughts down. I'm also trying to write a research paper, so that takes up the time of my "I care" mood.

I have been in a stressed and unhappy mood which makes me not want to do anything so then I end up doing nothing. I don't know how I'm supposed to get out of this mood. I know once I don't get all the credits that I could get for my blog that I'll end up being disappointed in myself for not doing things to the best of my abilities. I'll end up thinking about how I could have done so much better in my class but I just didn't push myself like I should have. Oh well. I guess I'll get over it.

Movie Theater

I just went to see Iron Man 2 with my sister Hannah and it was AWESOME!!! I really enjoyed it! I'd say it was just as good as the first one was! Before the movie started however, some really awesome things happened during the previews.

The first preview that came on was Avatar, The Last Airbender!!! Hannah and I were super excited! Apparently so was the whole theater!! Everyone (including Hannah and me) started shouting and WOOHOO-ing when the preview came on! It was totally awesome! I was really happy that everyone else was just as excited as Hannah and I were about it! :) After the preview ended we all shouted and woohoo-d again:) That was awesome! :)

Then, after a few other previews, the Twilight preview for Eclipse came on. I SERIOUSLY was not happy about that. Hannah and I started to boo really loudly... and then the rest of the theater started to boo with us!!!!! It was totally epic and amazing!!! I was so happy that everyone else in the theater (except for a few girls in the crowd) hate the Twilight movies just as much as Hannah and I do!! We boo-d basically through the whole preview! :) It was awesome! At one of the quite parts of the preview some guy yelled "just start the movie already!" Hannah and I started laughing and we totally agreed with him! :)

One last preview come one and then the Iron Man 2 movie came on! Everyone started shouting again:) I felt like I was at a midnight showing (even though it was not) and it was totally awesome! :) It was a great movie and I really enjoyed watching it! :)

Jellyfish story found on Yahoo.

I got this off of the Yahoo front news page thing:) This story is CRAZY!!! I can't believe she survived!! Just shows that God was watching out for her and that it must not have been her time to die:)

"In December, a ten-year-old Australian girl named Rachel Shardlow was attacked by one of the most venomous creatures in the world, the deadly box jellyfish. And, Rachel wasn't just stung. According to CNN, the box jellyfish completely enveloped her until she lost consciousness.

Normally, when a person meets a box jellyfish, the result is near instant death for the human. But Rachel not only survived her encounter; several months later, she's doing reasonably well. Her surprising story of survival has led at least one professor to credit her with being a medical marvel.

In an interview with Australia's ABC news, zoology professor Jamie Seymour said that Ms. Shardlow's injuries were "horrific." The doctor added, "Usually when you see people who have been stung by box jellyfish with that number of the tentacle contacts on their body, it's usually in a morgue."

Just how unlikely was Ms. Shardlow's survival? Again, according to the professor, "I don't know of anybody in the entire literature where we've studied this where someone has had such an extensive sting that has survived.”

The young survivor isn't 100% herself after being attacked. She has suffered some memory loss and has scarring on her legs where the jellyfish wrapped itself. Still, the father reports that Rachel's 'cognitive skills and memory tests were all fine.'"

Some very funny Brian Regan Videos

This is kinda hilarious! Although I was never in public school I'm sure that this pretty much hits directly to home for some.



This next is also very hilarious and also makes me wonder how the walkie talkie acquired it's name.




For those of you with glasses (Rachel) I think you will really enjoy this one. It's sssoooo true!! that's what makes it so funny.




I hope you enjoyed watching all of these:)

The History of Tenth Avenue North

This has got to be the most hilarious thing EVER!!!! This happened to be on my sister facebook page and when I saw it I thought that I definitely had to post this on my blog. Hannah and I thought that Rachel would like this but since she does not have a facebook anymore I thought the best course of action would be to publish this onto my blog so that Rachel may also enjoy the awesomeness of this video. I hope that whoever may watch this finds it just as entertaining as I did/do.

Tenth Avenue North is a pretty good band and now they have just gone up in my book of what I find awesome.

Volcano Lightning

This is CRAZY!!!!! But it's so beautiful! Who know that there was something this amazing!?! This would probably be something really spectacular to see in person, but it would also be pretty scary I would image. Nature is a crazy and beautifully amazing thing! God's so awesome to have been able to create such beauty! Every time I see stuff like this it just makes God seem all the more amazing!

Here's another awesome picture! Please click on it to see the whole image. :)

Avatar, The Last Airbender Movie

Probably the most amazing thing you will ever see:



I am really really really really really really really really really excited about this movie!!!!!!!! I LOVED the show and I can't wait for the movie!!! Midnight night showing all the way!!! WOOHOO!!! I just hope it doesn't seem like it's going to be awesome but then it ends up be terrible. I really don't think it will though because M. Night Shyamalan is directing it and I really like him so I think he'll do a great job! :)

Here's a slightly different Trailer of The Last Airbender, just to get you pumped up and reading for it's awesomeness! :)



I hope you're looking forward to it just as much as I am!!!!

The Stupidest Poem You Will Ever Read.

This is perhaps the STUPIDEST thing you will ever read in your ENTIRE lifetime, and I am sorry if this kills some of your braincells from reading this stupid poem that I was trying to write.

As the time goes by
I wonder why
What's the point in learning?

As I sit here staring
Not really caring
What tomorrow brings

Staring at an empty space
As I sit here in this lonely place
Waiting for the time to go

It's boring me I cannot handle
I wish this place were full of candles
That I might have the warmth of its light

For night is here and I can't sleep
or else I wish to feel defeat
of what I have not done

Misery is what I feel
I might be brought to tears
for I have not done what it is I must

My head is numb
I must succumb
to the fact I cannot win

That is why
I sit here and try
to think of a stupid poem

Misery is what I feel
I wish I could just focus here
and get thoughts in my head

It will not place upon itself
a face of words for which to tell
what the point is of this useless self

The point of learning
is the stirring of our hearts
that are yearning to
feel the Joy of success

I'm sorry that
you sat through this
and hope you have
a better time then I am

and that is the end of my stupid poem. I am very sorry that you sat through this and read this stupid thing.

Knott's Berry Farm

My sister Hannah and I just got Knott's Berry Farm passes! We haven't been to Knott's in so long we we're kind of missing it, and since we both hate Disneyland with a passion that cannot be denied we decided that we'd get Knott's passes from now on.

I had forgotten some things about Knott's. 1: It's rather small so it doesn't take fifty years to walk around that whole park. 2: It's never as crowded as Disneyland so you don't get as stressed out and annoyed at all the people that are there. 3: Knott's seems to make you feel more laid back and relaxed.

At Disneyland you always feel so uptight and pressured to get everything done in one day, and try to get on all the rides you can possibly get on in that one day. With Knott's it's different, for some reason you're able to just take it easy and relax. Just walking around the park seems fun and enjoyable.

When I went to Knott's again, after not having gone in so long, something strange happened. I was with my cousin's and their children and as we were walking around I thought "huh. When on earth did the cowboys get so hot?!?!". Yep that's right. I was completely in awe of how attractive the cowboys were. I was pondering so hard on why I couldn't remember the cowboys being when it suddenly hit me. The last time I had been to Knott's was when I was around 13 (I think), so that's why I couldn't remember the cowboys being hot. When I had been there last time I was so young that all the cowboys seemed so old to me so I had no interest in them. Things have certainly changed now. I can't wait to go to Knott's again and see all those cowboys. ;)

Diagnosis

This post is to let everyone know what was wrong with my car. I have written exactly what he had written, so all spelling errors or grammatical or punctuation errors are all his and not mine.

"5828 high pressure fuel punp inop warr test drove vehicle to verify customer concern found it misfiring on cold start interrogated fault to perform test plan with latest version of isid would not let me perform test plan for misfire detection. Initiated own test plan for misfire detection. Test plan suggested checking coils and plugs did that found them normal at this time. Test plan suggested that there might be a blockage in the fuel system or fuel line or that that vehicle may have a defective fuel pump. When I pressed continue in the test plan to complete, test plan sent me back to the first page where it suggested I check plugs and coil. Replaced high pressure fuel pump cleard adaptations and faults test drove vehicle to verity repair."

So there you have it. My car just needed a new fuel pump thing:) Now my baby is just as smooth a ride as ever! I really love my car:)

At the Dealership

In case you didn’t know, I have a Mini Cooper. I really love my beautiful dark blue, turbo charged, sports car! My parents surprised me with it on my birthday (Oct 3). I wasn’t expecting them to get it for me at all! My mom never wanted me to have one because she said that it was basically a tin can, and if I got in a car accident I would be crushed inside my car into itty bitty pieces. I was sure I would most likely never get a Mini Cooper unless I were to become a billionaire or marry one. So I was set on never getting one. I came home from DL (Disneyland) one night, at midnight, and there it was, sitting there in all its glorious beauty, MY Mini Cooper. At first I was like “who’s car is in the driveway” but then I see everyone outside with cameras and then I realized it was mine! My parents had bought me a Cooper!

I was so shocked that I didn’t really know what to do. Hannah (sister) was in the car with me when we got home so when we got home she started to yell at me telling me to get out of the car. She says she wasn’t really but she totally was! Anyways, I got out of the car and just started hugging people. Mom, Dad, Biz, Greg (this was before Greg had been retarded and left the house). Mom asked me why I was hugging Biz and Greg (since they weren’t the ones who had bought the car) and I told them that I didn’t know. I think I was just in such a state of shock that I wasn’t really sure what I was doing. It was amazing! It’s really hard to surprise me but they sure did it. My car is the best car on the face of the planet!

Anyway. All this to say, my engine light turned on so I had to take it to the dealership to get it checked out (I have free maintenance for 5 years, thank you mom and dad). I’m not sure whats wrong with it yet so I’m just sitting here waiting to find out the diagnosis. My poor car. I LOVE YOU BABY! Oh! By the way, my cars name is Georgiana:) Yes, I named my car:) You got something to say about that?

Crazy stalker dude named Greg

My sister and her husband are having marriage problems. Which they have been having basically ever since they got married. Greg has been acting really retarded and doing and saying stupid things. He’s been saying things about how Bizzy (Elizabeth) is now mean all the sudden and he doesn’t understand why. He’s been blaming ALL of their marriage problems on Biz and that he had nothing to do with it. I’m not saying Elizabeth is a saint or anything, she has down her fair share of not helping the marriage, but hello dude! It takes TWO to tango! He’s such an idiot. He has a key to our house and he’s been coming over whenever and going straight into Bizzy’s room and waking her up (it’s usually sometime in the morning when he comes over) and saying really ridiculous and really mean things to her and then he leaves. So my parents decided if he wanted to see Lilly (Elizabeth’s and his daughter) or Bizzy then he would have to call my dad or my mom and let them know he was coming, so that one of my parents could be there when he is there so that he doesn’t say rude things to Bizzy anymore (and so that they can monitor the visit and know exactly what is being said).

Well this morning he said he was going to come over, so my mom stayed home so she could stay with Bizzy. My dad left the house about seven in the morning and apparently he saw Greg’s car outside so when he got to the shop he called my mom to see if she had talked to Greg or not about his actions and what he’s been doing to Bizzy. She said that she hadn’t; she didn’t even know Greg had been here. She went into Biz’s room to find out what happened and found out that Greg had snuck into the house after my dad left (Greg has a key) and went into Bizzy’s room and said some things to her and then her left. WHAT A CHICKEN AND BIG FAT JERK!!!! He’s like a crazy stalker or something! I’m just really mad right now because Greg is being such a retarded jerk and acting like a child. Apparently he can’t man up at all. GAH!! He’s so annoying. He’s already decided he’s going to divorce Bizzy so why does he keep on coming back?

GAH!!

I do not want to deal with these people! Who are these people you ask? Well lets just say they are these really annoying people who like to come over to the house and let their children run wild and not pay any attention to what these children are doing. As the children scream and start playing with things they shouldn't and breaking things and losing things. It just drives me CRAZY!!!! Why do they always have to come here?!?! Don't they have there own place that they can trash? Their also extremely BAD parents! Well at least the mother is. I only ever see them fight and then discipline the kids when they don't really need to be disciplined. All I ever hear is them complaining. They almost never have anything good to say, it is always negative and it really gets on my nerves! They'll come to do one specific thing that should only take a few minutes and stay for 5 HOURS!!!! They're not even married yet and their always talking about getting married (well at least she is) but with the way they are with each other how on earth are they supposed to have a happy marriage? Why even start something like that when in the end it is going to end up in divorce. It REALLY irritates me! They also say some really negative things around Elizabeth about her husband when she really shouldn't be hearing these things. She already got enough negative thoughts about Greg to last her a whole lifetime, why give her more?

I'm sorry about venting about this on here but I was just getting really annoyed and I had to get it out somewhere. I can't necessarily go to there faces and chew them out now can I? Well I could and I probably would but that wouldn't be the right thing to do. The probably is, when they're here that means I have to watch their children because they aren't doing it. I tend to get annoyed with children very easily so me needing to watch doesn't really help my mood when I'm already angry at the parents for being retarded. I know it's not the kids fault that their parents are stupid so I don't take it out on them. I just think the parents need to see where they need to change and see there faults and try to fix them.

I'm sorry yet again for this post. I just had a lot of venting to do.

Happy Easter! :)

Aren't family traditions fun! Unfortunately there will not be any traditions today. You see my family usually goes to my Aunt Faith's house, she lives in LA, for Easter and we eat lots of yummy food and have fun Easter egg hunting. You're never to old to hunt for Easter eggs! :) After we're done with the hunt my cousins Molly and I (and sometimes my sister Hannah) like to count all of the eggs that we found and see who is the winner of the egg hunt. After we're down counting we like to open our eggs and see what kind of goodies we got. Then we eat lots of candy and get really sick from to much of it. After that my family goes back to our own house.

Once we're home, if we remember, we like to color hard boiled eggs. These colored eggs usually end up sitting in our fridge until they rot. What was the point in coloring the eggs if we don't want to eat our beautiful artwork? Well...it's because it's fun and it's a traditions although, for the past couple years we haven't remembered to color eggs and it makes me sad once I realize it. Hopefully I'll remember to do it this year! Maybe since there are children here we might remember to color eggs this time. We aren't going to my Aunt Faith's house this year, which I don't know why, so it's kind of sad. Oh well. Life will go on.

When the family is all together things tend to get a little silly and old childhood memories start coming back to us all. My oldest sisters, Sarah and Rachel, started to talk about this one memory of theirs which had to do with Rush Limbaugh making fun of Hilary Clinton for using "Family Values" in one of her speeches. Apparently we were all at our old old shop and we were listening to Beach Boys when something really weird happened. It started to record what was going on while still playing the song. By the times someone realized what was going on it had recorded some hilarious things. In the background you could hear Rachel quoting Rush Limbaugh's "Family Values" and you could also here someone getting spanked, which was most likely Hannah she was always getting spanked, and you could also here someone singing in the background. To this day whenever Rachel hears "Family Values" her mind goes start back to this memory of when the cassette tape all the sudden started to record what was going on.

All this to say is that when family gets together it kinda gets crazy.

Essay's

Hello all! It's been a while hasn't it? Well, since it's been so long I guess I should catch you up about what has been going on in my life, like how school is going and just anything awesome that comes to mind:)

I have officially finished two essay's and now am on the 3 one. I basically got an A on my first essay, I say basically because I actually got a B+. I got marked down because the format was wrong. I did not do the format wrong but when I turned it in online it decided that it wanted to push all the formatting over to the left, which was quite annoying, so when the class had our individual conferences with the teacher she asked me what had happened. I told her about how it got all messed up when I turned it in so she told me that if I would send her my essay through email (and than that way she could see that I did have the correct format) that then she would change the B+ to an A. When I got home that day I immediately went to the computer and sent her my essay in the correct format. She didn't reply to my email and I thought it was just because she was busy or something.

The next Friday I went up to her and asked her if she had received my email with my essay attached. Apparently she hadn't, so when I got home that day I sent her my essay again. She hasn't replied so I'm starting to wonder if, yet again, she didn't receive it. The same format problem happened with my second essay so I'm probably going to get marked down on that one also and then I'm going to have to send her that one too and then it's most likely not going to work. I really don't know why she's not receiving the emails. I've emailed her before and she's answered me. Maybe the internet doesn't want me to get an A so it keeps on saying it sends it but it actually doesn't! This is a conspiracy! The computer hates me!

Speaking of computers. My dad bought a macbook for my sister Hannah and me. Were sharing it of course, but I'm using it more then she is right now because I need it for school. Even though I kind of hate computers having a mac is sort of fun. I feel like I need to use the computer even when I have nothing to do. I'll check my email like 20 times in 30 minute, even though I know I haven't received any emails, I just have this feeling like I need to be using the computer. I don't know what it is. I've never really liked the computer but for some reason I want to go on all the time. It must be something about a mac. It's probably sending out pheromones that makes people (even people who hate the computer) want to be on the computer and never get off. It's brainwashing everyone! Oh no! I better get off before it does anymore damage to my brain!

Story continued

Once Rebekah and I got out of the garage we walked out into the creepy darkness of the nighttime. When we got to the front door it was , of course, locked. At this point I was getting really scared and we didn't know what to do. Then one of us (I don't remember who) thought of trying all the windows to see if maybe one of them was possible unlocked. We went around the whole house, taking off screens and trying windows and then putting the screens back on because the window was locked.

We finally found one that would open, so we climbed through it. I think we left the screen off of the window because we didn't feel like hassling to try to put it back on right at that moment. Once inside all was well! Now this is where my mind gets really foggy with the details of this story. Sorry Bekah if I get something wrong. I think we went to bed after that. The next morning we went outside to put the screen back on and then I noticed a cage thing outside and I wondered if they had yet another animal. Bekah started to freak out a little bit because we saw a skeleton of a lizard in the cage and she thought that maybe she had forgotten to feed the lizard and it died. Thankfully that wasn't the case. We found out later on, when the family came back home, that the lizard had been there for a while and she just hadn't cleaned it up yet. Well that's about all I can remember of that story. Bekah if I forgot anything just let me know. :)

Now onto the next sister

Elizabeth (Bizzy) is 23 turning 24 in July. She's married to a man (more like boy) named Greg and they have a child named is Lilly, well her actual name is Lillyann but we just call her Lilly. Bizzy and Greg's marriage isn't doing so great right now. They both used to live in my parents house with me but when the marriage problems started coming out in the open more Greg moved out. It was 2 days before Christmas. What a great Christmas gift. Now they are going to counciling and Bizzy seems to be improving a bit but Greg doesn't seem to be improving at all. The whole situation is just really annoying and I sometimes wish that my sisters would take there marriage and relationship problems elsewhere. My niece Lilly is really cute! I think I'm her favorite auntie right now and I have know idea why. It's not like I give her any special attention or anything. I think I was Anne's favorite auntie at Lilly's age though also. Maybe it's the age that likes me so much? I don't know. When they get older they start to not like me anymore, as in the case with Anne.

Next sister

Hannah is 21 turning 22 in August. She is a nanny for 3 children and she loves it very much. She loves kids WAY more then anyone I know. We shared a room until I was 15 and she was 17. We like to go to the movies together and just hang out. We're really silly if we're together for too long. I can basically get her to do whatever I want because I'm her "baby sister" and she doesn't know how to say no to me. I try to get her to say no to me all the time. Sometimes she can, but most of the time she can't. We talk a lot about how no guys wanna date us and that we should really stop hanging out with each other so much because we act like an old married couple. Just ask any of my other sisters and they will tell you.

Well that's it about my sisters. Hannah was the last one. Until the next post:)

Sisters (continued)

Rebekah (Bekah) is 25 turning 26 in April. She's married to a man (Scott) she meet at Moody Bible Institute and they have 1 son (Micah). We're all hoping that they will soon have another one. Micah's a little cutie although we don't get to see him much because they live in Michigan. They used to live in Chicago and I went out to visit them a couple of times. I think it's a lot more fun telling people that your sister lives in Chicago then it is telling them that your sister lives in Michigan. Don't tell Bekah I told you that! Oh wait! She reads my blog! Sorry Bekah but it's true. I think you live in a hick town.

Bekah has this phrase that she likes to say to me every once in a while I don't remember how it starts but this is how it ends "beautiful swan with your mouth gaping open" don't ask me how it got started because I don't remember.



I once went house sitting with her (before she was married and living in hick town [that was just for you bekah(:] ) and it was quite an adventure! First we had to drive up this long creepy driveway to get to the house. It was really dark so the wasn't helping with the creepiness. Inside the house was pretty cool but it was also scary. I don't really remember how old I was but I was starting to rethink that whole helping my sister with house sitting thing. There were a couple of different animals that lived there, let's see if I can remember correctly. There was a dog, a couple of cute little kittens, and an EVIL rat. I'm pretty sure there weren't any more animals but I don't really remember much. I think the dog scared me a bit, he (or she?) was an old dog (I think) who liked to urinate on things. The rat was EVIL!!! If you tried to pet it, it would bit you. If you tried to feed it, it would bit you. If you tried to do anything it would try and bit you! It would stare at you with its evil, beady little eyes. We tried to avoid it as much as we could.

In the garage there were some really cute little kittens. Bekah had to go down (the garage was downstairs) and feed them so I followed. Now I don't quite remember if Bekah told me to stay at the door or what, I think she might have told me to make sure that the kittens didn't get into the house, so I just thought I'd walk into the garage and close the door, problem solved! Or so I thought. While I was in the process of closing the door Bekah started to say "don't close the..." to late. The door was locked. There we were locked in the garage, in a creepy house, in a creepy neighborhood. We tried to find anything that would help us to unlock the door. Yes, we tried to pick the lock. Unfortunately neither Bekah or I know how to pick a lock because we were not children who liked to unlock doors that were locked for a reason, we also weren't thieves of any kind so of course we don't know how to pick a lock. We tried for a little while but we were not having any luck with opening the door. We decided that we would open the garage door that was for the car and see if maybe Bekah had left the front door unlock.

Story continued in next post. :)

Sisters

I have 5 sisters in case anyone was wondering. Sarah is the eldest then comes Rachel, Rebekah (Bekah), Elizabeth (Biz or Bizzy), and then Hannah. People sometimes think that growing up in a family that big must have been hard. I guess it was sometimes hard but overall it was fun. I can't imagine life without my sisters.

Some people say that we all look like each other, some don't think so. I think that we kind of have similar features but we don't really look alike. I find it funny that, for a family of 6 girls we're all COMPLETELY different, we still get along well though, in fact I think that we're all pretty close. Whenever you get us all together in one room it's a riot. You better be prepared for some serious laughter! The funny thing is, when we're all together we still feel like someone is missing. We blame that on our moms miscarriage. The baby that was never born (who we say was the brother we never had) is the person that is missing.




Sarah is 29 going on 3 sometimes 13 or sometimes 16. She's the oldest but doesn't always act like it (ok, most the time she doesn't act like it). I still love her though. You always love your family. You don't have to necessarily "like" then at one point in time but you still love them. Sarah has a 2, almost 3, year old daughter named Anne Shirley. She was named after the character in Anne of Green Gables. She's a little brat. She's adorable and I love her but that doesn't change the fact that she's a little brat. She's always doing things she's not supposed to and she doesn't always listen either. Just recently she started to say that she doesn't love me. She'll tell everyone else that she loves them but she doesn't love me. I really don't know what I did to make her mad. Maybe I've scolded her to much or something. Whatever the reason it's really sad when you tell your niece that you love her and she replies with "I don't love you auntie Di-nana!". Oh well. I guess I'll get over it eventually.



Rachel just turned 28 today. She's going to college in Northridge to finish up her Linguistics degree. I was having a panic attack about my essay that I have to write and she was kind enough to come down for the weekend and help me with it (Thanks again Rachel (: ). While she was here she made Crepes. I'd never had a crepe before. At first I didn't really like it but then I found out it was because there was no netella on it and that is what makes the crepe. With the netella on it and strawberries and bananas it made it quite delicious! The whole weekend she was her she was either 1. Helping me with my homework. 2. Making crepes. 3. Washing dishes. 4. Washing my parents sheets and comforter (my parents were away for the weekend) 5. trying to organize our linen closet (it's a complete and totally wreck!) or 6. Avoiding homework. Yes that's right. She avoided doing her homework while she was here. She tries to blame it on helping me with my essay but that's not really what happened. There were plenty of times when she could have done it when I wasn't working on my essay, but she didn't. Whatever, it's her own fault. Although I am still very thankful that she came home for the weekend just to help me:)

To be continued in next post. :)

The Lightning Thief.

I just have to say that books are always better then their movies, as was the case with The Lightning Thief. I enjoyed it as a movie but the movie as following the story of the book, it was terrible. I think that it's a lot easier to watch a movie and then read the book. You don't get all those expectations and it's just easier to enjoy the movie that way. Sometimes the move is SO completely different from the book that it's not hard at all to separate them. Like Ella Enchanted, the book is amazing and the movie is so completely different from the book. At first it made me mad but then, with it being so different, I was able to watch the movie without comparing it to the book.

While we're on the topic of movies... I love old movies! Black and white movies are the best! I feel like movies back in the 40's, 50's and 60's had so much more class then movies now-a-days do. Don't get me wrong. I do love watching movies from this era but I think I sometimes prefer old movies. Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stuart, Doris Day, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn I could go on! I love old actors and actresses. I feel like the men actors of those does just had a more gentleman feel to them then the men these days do, and the women were more refined and elegant and smoking didn't look so bad either. In old movies when they would smoke they make it look classy unlike the movies these days do, people just look like gangsters or something when they smoke, and the whole time your thinking "that's going to kill you dude". I don't think I've ever thought that when I'm watching an old movie.

Change of topic. Right now I'm in the middle of writing an essay for my English class and I think that it's going to kill me! I've never really written a paper before and it's harder then I thought it would be. Or maybe it's the topic that I'm writing about and that's why it's so hard for me. Whatever the reason, this paper is giving me more stress then I need. To top it off I also found out that I'm supposed to have 15 posts right now and I only have 8 (now 9), so now I'm going to have to do 7 posts in a row. Not only am I supposed to have 15 post at this time but I'm also supposed to write 3 more posts this week! All-in-all I'm supposed to have 18 posts total! I also have to study for for a vocab quiz that is going to be on Friday and all of this is just for my English class. I have to study for my math class also. We're in the process of learning fractions. I'm not sure that I like fractions. This is going to be one stressful week for me!

Something I forgot

I realized in my last post I told you about getting into my classes but I didn't tell you about the Disneyland pass. Sorry about that. The answer is yes, I did get my Disneyland pass. No I didn't have to pay the stupid 20 dollar fee. I was able to get a copy of the report I gave to campus safety and then I took it to Disneyland and they accepted it so I was able to get my pass back for free. It's just so ridiculous! Don't worry I won't go into another full on tangent about how much I hate Disneyland. I already did that and I won't put you through that again.





I was just watching my niece get a bath. Children are funny; they get so entranced with every little thing. Things we overlook all the time. They're also really cute in the bathtub with how they like to splash the water. It made me start thinking about how stupid we would look if we were like babies, splashing in a bathtub. We'd look ridiculous. They also are quite flexible. Imagine if we did the things babies did. We'd be in such good shape. You don't need a gym or personal trainer, just do what babies do and you'll be in great shape in a jiffy.





I'm weird I know. I think about the most random things sometimes. I'm also just trying to fill up this post as soon as possible. I need to get at least six hundred words down. It's harder than you think it is. Well at least for me it is. Come on you try typing out six hundred words three times a week. It's hard, I can't always think of things to write. I just get stuck and that's when I start blabbing out random things like what would happen if we did the things babies did. My brain gets so fried trying to think of words to write. Right at this moment I only have three hundred thirty five words. Well now it's more but do you see how hard it is for me to write stuff down? It's SO HARD MY BRAIN HURTS!!! Sorry. I just had a freak out moment right now. I'll try not to let it happen again.





What to talk about? Well I really wanted to watch The Lake House but when I put it in it didn't want to work. I took it out but didn't find anything wrong with it and then put it back in. It still didn't want to work so then I asked Hannah to take a look at it so she took it out and saw that it was cracked. That made me sad. It also made Hannah sad because it was her movie. Then I remembered that Elizabeth (one of my other sisters) also owns it so I was going to watch her copy. I couldn't find it anywhere so I was unable to watch it. Instead I watched How to Steal a Million. It's a really great old movie with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. I really like old movies. They're sometimes so much better than movies now-a-days, sometimes. I was raised watching old movies. Some of my favorite actors and actresses are old movie actors, like Cary Grant or Clark Gable, Audrey Hepburn, Doris Day; people like that. If you say that George Clooney is like Cary Grant I'll shoot you!! Sorry but I really don't like him and I hate it when people compare him to Cary Grant. Well that's all I can get out of my brain right now so I'll just go to bed now and try to think of stuff to write tomorrow. Good night.

Candy anyone?

I realized some of you might be wondering things like, if I ever got into my classes or, what happened with the whole Disneyland pass thing. Well I am happy to tell you that I did finally get into my classes. I am no longer petitioning for them. It's really nice not having to petition anymore. I was starting to get tired of it and thought that if I didn't get into my classes soon I was just going to stop petitioning them.





Math class was easy. My Prof. gave out the add codes a week or so ago but they didn't work for some reason so all of the petitioners had to go to the admissions office and get late registration forms to fill out. That wasn't so bad and once we got them it was really easy getting into the class. With my English class it was a little more difficult. I was petitioning Monday/Wednesday but no one was dropping out in that class so I found out she had a Friday class and decided to try petitioning that one instead. The Friday class is one week behind the M/W class so I didn't have to worry about being behind or anything. I just had to sit through stuff that I'd already learned in the M/W class.





There were also petitioners for the Friday class and my Prof. said that they had priority over us new petitioners because they had been there from day 1 so I had to wait until the next week to see if maybe someone might drop out. The next week my Prof. just decided to give out add codes because she said that she knows it's sad but most of the people that are in the Friday class will not all be there at the end of the semester. Since it's not spilt up like the M/W class it's a longer one so most people don't want to sit there for 4 hours. The nice thing about it though is that she doesn't really keep us there for the 4 hours because she usually doesn't have any more to talk about after 2 or so hours. She gave out essay assignments so now I have to have a full draft by Friday. I'm having a bit of trouble writing it and I hope that I can have a draft of it by Friday.





I just had a test in Math class on Wednesday. I think I did alright. I'm pretty sure that I got almost all of the questions right. Also, my teacher is totally awesome! She brings candy for the whole class when there's a test! Because apparently it's been "proven" that people do better on tests when they're chewing on something or eating candy. I ate a really yummy Reese's heart and a Jolly Rancher sucker. I really enjoyed it:)





On another note, my friend's dad's birthday was on Thursday and every year they go to this restaurant for his birthday. May I just say that it is one of the most amazing restaurants on the face of the planet!! You're allowed to throw peanut shells on the floor!! It was an amazing experience! The steak was amazing and if you order a Shirley Temple you can ask for them to put as many cherries as you want in it! I had about 6 or so cherries with each refill I got. All of the food was amazing! I can't wait to go again! The only down side was how expensive it was. That's why they only go once a year; they have to save up for it. I paid for myself and with just me alone it cost about 33 dollars. I guess that's the price you have to pay in order to throw peanut shells on the floor.

Disneyland

I hate Disneyland. You're probably thinking " how can anyone hate Disneyland?!?". Well I'm here to tell you that it is quite possible to hate that place with a passion that cannot be denied!



There are a couple of reasons why I hate Disneyland so much. 1: I'm just kind of tired of it. I go all the time because I have a pass. 2: Disneyland parking is TERRIBLE!! Every time I go I want to shoot everyone there, the drivers and the workers! 3: Disneyland already has enough money yet they still think that they need more. They over price EVERYTHING and I think they don't need to. 4: The workers aren't very nice people even though they're supposed to be at "the happiest place on earth". Yeah right!! 5: There is a fee if your pass is stolen and you need to get a new one. YOUR PASS WAS STOLEN AND THEY EXPECT A 20$ FEE! I really hate Disneyland.



Story time.



My sister Hannah and I went to Disneyland today to go get a new pass (since my wallet was stolen and my pass was in it). I was, and am still, set on not paying the 20 dollar fee for something that was stolen from me. We went up to the window and told the guy about my wallet being stolen. He asked if I had filed a police report about it and I said no. Then he said since I didn't file a report about it that I was going to have to pay a 20 dollar fee. I said I wasn't going to because I thought it was ridiculous to pay for something that was stolen from me and he said that that is the way it goes and if I wasn't going to pay the 20 dollars then he could give me a courtesy one day ticket. I said I wasn't going into the park that day and then he said I could come back another day when I was going to go in or come back when I decided to pay the 20 dollars. I said "ok fine" so then Hannah and I walked away and discussed what to do. She tried to call mom but she couldn't reach her but dad picked up the phone. He said just to pay the 20 but I was set on not paying it.



Hannah and I decide to go back and try again. We went to a different window and told a different guy about my wallet being stolen. This time Hannah was the one talking to the guy about it and if you've ever seen Hannah get worked up over something it's definitely scary. The guy just kept on repeating the rule to us about the whole police report thing, which was definitely not helping Hannah's mood so then she asked to speak to someone in charge. He practically went running! I think he just wanted to get out of there! Hannah can be pretty intimidating when she wants to be (or when she gets really worked up over something, like protecting her baby sister).



A woman in charge came to the window and handled the situation a lot better than the guy was doing. She kept on pushing the rules and what not though. She also was trying to imply that a pass is just as important as a license. Then somehow it came about that I had lost it on my first day of school and that I had reported it to campus safety. She asked if I had gotten a copy of that report and I said that I didn't. Then she told us that if I bring that with me when I come back then that would be proof enough of my wallet being stolen so then I wouldn't have to pay the 20 dollar fee.



It makes me so mad! I don't see the point in paying 20 dollars for something that was stolen from me! I think even if you did lose it you shouldn't have to pay 20 dollars for a stupid piece of plastic. I could maybe understand 5 dollars but 20?! No way am I paying for that. Now I have to go down to campus safety and ask to get a copy of the report I gave about my stolen wallet. I'm just thankful that I gave a report about it otherwise I'd still be fighting with Disneyland right now about receiving a free replacement piece of plastic. They themselves said that I already have the pass I just don't have that plastic thing. Come on! Paying for a stupid piece of plastic when you're already paying for the pass. Ridiculous! I am NEVER getting a Disneyland pass EVER again! I wouldn't be sad if Disneyland all of the sudden just went out of business never to be opened again. Sorry Eddy family. I know how much you love Disneyland but you also know how much I hate it.



The next pass I get will be for Knott's Berry Farm or Universal Studio's or both! It only costs about 80 or so dollars to get a pass with no blackout dates! 80 dollars! That's definitely cheaper then Disneyland.



On another note. I'm sick. Whoop-di-do! My little niece got me sick. Thanks a lot Lilly. Now I get to go to school feeling all dizzy. Sounds like so much fun.

Twilight

Let me just start off by saying sorry to anyone who likes Twilight; the book and the movie. I have a couple of friends who like it but I don't hold it against them. I hate it with a passion! I would have to say that twilight is one of the WORST stories of all time! It's not romantic or alluring at all.


First off, we have a girl (Bella) who thinks she doesn't belong anywhere and thinks she's out of place in this world. When she makes friends, acts like they're not important and that they're not really friends and they weren't even there from the start.


Then there's this guy (Edward). They all of the sudden fall madly in love with each other. Even though they don't really know anything about each other. Turns out he's a vampire but Bella "doesn't care. It doesn't matter to her". When I think, in reality, if vampires were real everyone would hate them. No one would want to date one or marry one. Everyone would stay in their houses at night time because nobody would want to get bitten and the government would probably have a curfew for everyone. Vampires would most likely be hunted down and killed.


Girls. Edward is NOT real! GET OVER IT!!!!! Stop treating your boyfriends like trash just because they're not like Edward! Who, in reality, would be a very possessive and abusive person. Don't you remember when he gets super mad at Bella? With how mad he gets and with how possessive he is he would have hit her. I'm right and you know it!


Another thing; the fact that some people are obsessed with the whole blood sucking thing and it being all sexy or whatever. What the poo is with that?!?!?! I mean come on! For one thing there's the pain that would come with it. Secondly: You're losing blood! Hello! That means you're going too die if to much blood is lost. and thirdly: We don't like leeches, ticks, fleas, or mosquitoes so why on earth should a vampire be any different?


Yet one more thing I have to say about Twilight is that Edward and Bella are both extremely selfish people who don't care about the fact that they have family and friends who love them. Nope. All they care about is each other and how they can be together and once they finally are together it's like everyone who was in Bella's life isn't there anymore. What happens to her mom? What about her friends that she made at school? It's like she doesn't care about them anymore. They just dropped right off the face of the planet.


These are just some of the many reasons why I hate Twilight. I don't know why people love this book/movie so much. I think everyone should hate it. It's just a story of two very selfish people and how they end up together in a very selfish relationship. The book would have been better if they had both died in the end.


If you want some QUALITY reading then I could give you a few suggestions. There's also a lot more quality movies out there. You don't have to look very far. One of those quality movies would have to be, I think, The Last of the Mohicans. Who can beat that amazing line. " Stay alive, just stay alive! No matter how far, no matter how long it takes. I will find you!". That is one of the best movie lines of all time. If you haven't seen that movie I think you should go out and rent it right now and watch it. Your life will not be fulfilled until you watch that amazing movie.

Workout time for Diana

Going to school is a full time workout. Not just for the mind but also for the body. Here's why.
I drove to school, because I finally got my temporary license from the DMV, and I parked in the "secret parking" because it's easier than trying to fight traffic looking for a parking spot in the parking structure. I mean, come on, everyone already knows that there isn't going to be a parking spot. Or they're just really rude people who wait for someone who is walking to their car. That's way I will most likely always park in the "secret parking". Only problem is it's a bit of a walk to the school. It would be just fine if I wasn't lugging around a 50 pound bag full of books (well maybe it's not 50 pounds).
I was a bit early for my class so I went to the Library to study a bit of my math that I wasn't able to finish the night before (and take a break from carrying my monster bag). I was huffing and puffing so badly when I got to the Library that I was trying not to breath because I was so loud. I bet people were thinking I was having a heart attack or maybe that I was going to throw up or something; or maybe they just thought "man that girl is way out of shape".
I studied a bit. When it became a decent time to go to class I left (I was finally done huffing and puffing). I walked to my classroom but there was a class in progress so I just sat in the hallway and waited. Finally the people were done so they came out and we (because there were other students in the hallway with me) went in.
Now this is where the workout begins, English class. I actually have to use my brain. Whoever thought of such a thing?! Using my brain has never occurred to me before! (joking). It's definitely a workout! There was a vocab quiz and then group work. I think I did alright on the vocab quiz. The group work was to discuss a certain part of the book that we are in the process of reading. That was interesting.
Class ends around 11:45, 12:00. Lunch time. I had brought my own lunch so I just found a spot to sit and eat. I bet people thought I was weird. There I was eating a homemade sandwich in a way that probably made me look like a little kid, and then, after the sandwich, I had some gummies. Now I definitely looked like a little kid. Who cares. I like gummies. I am a child at heart.
When I finished lunch I walked to my next class (thankfully the building is kind of close). The math stuff that we did in the beginning was the easy stuff. I thought "this is easy peasy" but then it got to the harder stuff. It wasn't so "easy peasy" anymore. I had to start using my brain again.
When math was over that's when I had to walk all the way back to my car. I started huffing and puffing (and blowing houses down). I think by the end of the semester I will be in great shape. Who needs a gym when you've got college!
I had to go to work after I got home (I hate work). I had yet more walking to do. Now it's over and I can't wait to go to sleep! Have a good night everyone! I'll blog again soon.

Random thoughts for today

My niece just turned 1 on Sunday. It made me start thinking about how old I'm turning this year. 20. That's how old I'm turning. I know that that's not old at all. I'm still very young. It's just weird because it seems like it was just a year or so ago when I was 15. I was still trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life. Whether I wanted to go to college or not.


It seems like time flies by so quickly. One day you're 10 with not a care in the world and then all of the sudden your 19, 20 looking towards the future. What it is you want to do? Who you're going to marry? If you're going to get married? If you're going to have children or not?


I know, I know. I'm getting a little ahead of myself. I still have years and years left to come. That is if I don't die in some "freak gasoline accident" (quoting zoolander for those of you who wanted to know). I wonder how many people think about this stuff? Am I the only one? Probably not.


All of this started just because my niece's birthday was Sunday. We threw a party for her, even though she's not going to remember it. It was more for the adults anyway. To see how big the kids are getting (and how old they're getting). To catch up on what's going on in each other's lives, and talk about how cute the children are. Also to eat some free food. Well that's at least why I go to these things (just joking.... maybe).

Today was my second day of classes. I had to take a lot of notes in my English class (my hand started to cramp up). There is also a lot of reading that I have to do. At least for me. Because I was homeschooled my whole life. Most of what I read was fantasy so it's very hard for me to read the assigned book. I was really looking forward to my Math class. When I went to class there was a note on the door telling everyone that class was canceled for the day. I was really sad.

On another note. Remember when I said my wallet was stolen and I had to go renew things like my Student ID and my license? Well I went to the DMV the next day; which was a Thursday. It was raining REALLY hard that day (I love the rain) and there was actually a long line. I thought that no one was going to be there because it was raining so hard but apparently I was wrong. My mom and I got in line. We had to stand in the rain because the line went all the way outside. Fortunately we had an umbrella. We're standing there and all of the sudden a man decided he wanted to come under the umbrella with us. He started talking to us and we told him about how my wallet was stolen. He was shocked that someone would do such a thing. His son decided he didn't want to wait in line anymore so they left. A DMV worker came out to inform us that all the computers were down, statewide, and they weren't sure when they would be working again. My mom and I decided that we would wait a little longer just to see if the computers would start working again. They didn't so we left.

I went back today with my sister Hannah the hot one (so she says). Since I really do miss driving myself. It was really, really busy so we decided that I would go back tomorrow with my mom.

Reminiscing

My brain hurts. I've been playing a multiplication game online because my math teacher wants the class to brush up on their multiplication skills. I'm really bad. It's really sad how long I have to think about it before I get the answer right. I suppose this is way I'm in math 4 and not math 15 (not that I'm surprised).

People think being homeschooled your whole life means you're really smart. Not true when it comes to me. I never really did my school work when I was younger. That's really my own fault. The books were always there I just decided I never wanted to open them. I was and am a procrastinator. My mom didn't really force me to do school either so that didn't help. I guess it was just hopeless from the start. That is why I'm going to college. That I may learn and gain knowledge and not feel so stupid.

I think I'll probably do fine. I really enjoy learning. The very few times I did decided to open one of the many school books around the house was actually fun. I liked learning new things. Too bad I didn't push myself harder. Well that was then and this is now. I am determined to learn, and to not procrastinate! I also have teachers that are expecting me to do the work. I think that will help me to be able to push myself.

Being homeschooled wasn't bad. I really enjoyed it. My mom had started a home school group when I was about 3 that would meet every Friday. I was always very excited to go. The moms would teach different types of classes. There was Cooking, Dance, Science, Spanish, Craft, Pastel and much more. I got to choose what classes I wanted to take. The classes always changed with each new school year. Some moms would decided that they didn't want to teach a certain class anymore and maybe start up something new or just not teach a class at all.

When I was younger I couldn't wait to start Pastel class (you had to be a certain age to be in that class). It was an Art class. We would draw things like Apples, Vases, Cups, Coffee pots, Pumpkins and lots of other things. Mrs. Leong was the teacher of that class. She was one of my favorite teachers. I always loved going and working more on my drawings. It seemed somehow to relax me. I would get so sucked in I wouldn't realize what time it was. I was always sad when it ended. I could have sat there for hours. Just drawing. I loved it. Sadly Mrs. Leong stopped teaching that class. That was one of the most tragic days of my life. There wasn't another Art class for a while. It broke my heart.

A couple years later another mom decided to start up an Art class. I got pretty excited about it. It was different then Mrs. Leong's class but I was alright with that. This class was a Pencil drawing class. It was really different, and hard, but it was fun. I really missed drawing. I don't draw at home. I should but I've always had trouble trying to do it myself. I feel like I need a teacher to help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong. I know that's no excuse and I should try drawing things on my own. This is where my procrastination issue comes in. I really need to stop being like that. Hopefully going to college will help me with that. I'm planning on maybe taking an Art class next semester. I think I'd really enjoy it. Here's hoping.

What a day

So I start off my day with some nervous feelings. You see my first day at Fullerton JC was today. My first class started at 10:00 AM so I left my house around 8:30 AM to have plenty of time for parking (or at least I thought it would be plenty of time). I got to the campus and it was PACKED! It's really ridiculous how crazy and crowded it was! I got into the parking structure to see if there might possibly be a parking spot. No such luck. I went to the next parking structure; again no such luck. At this point it's getting closer to 9:30 on the clock and I'm freaking out because my first class starts at 10:00.
I called my sister Rachel because she used to go to FJC and I wanted to know where her "secret spot" was. I found this spot and looked for parking and had just barely enough room for my car. What I didn't realize was that there was this SUV behind me that I thought was another student trying to find a parking spot, but apparently they were trying to turn into the driveway that I was sort of blocking while I was trying to park. I felt kind of bad but they seemed to get into the driveway alright. Then this woman came out of the house looking really mad at me and started talking to the people coming out of the SUV. She looked like she wanted to come chew me out for trying to find a parking spot! The people in the car were trying to talk to her and calm her down. I left before she could come down where I was and start hitting me or something. I just hoped while I walked away that she wasn't planning on doing anything to my car while I was gone.
I got to my first class about 9:44. There were about 5 people already there. (May I just say that I find it funny how there can be so many people in a room and we somehow manage not to talk to each other; in fact we sometimes manage not to talk at all). More and more people came in as the clock ticked closer and closer to 10:00. The teacher came in around 9:55 am. I really like her. All of the stuff seems a bit intimidating, although that might be because I was homeschooled my whole life and this whole thing is new to me, but it seems fun.
One of the assignments is to start a blog and write in it 3 times a week with 600 to 900 words per post. So that is way I'm sitting here writing out all of this stuff that most likely no one is going to read, and why would they? I mean I don't really have an exciting life, it's not like anyone wants to hear about how I probably almost died from a crazy woman who didn't want me parking where I was. Oh well.
I always used to make fun of people who blogged and now here I am with one of my own. Ok. Let's get back on topic. Class ended and I got up and realized that my wallet was no longer in my pocket. I looked around my seat. Not there. At this point I was kind of starting to freak out (second freak out of the day). I called my sister Rachel again (she's probably tired of me calling her with all my problems by now). She said to go back to the car to see if maybe it fell out of my pocket in the car. I went all the way back (exactly the way I came) to my car. Nope. No wallet.
Now I was really annoyed. It's really quite a pain. Because now I'm going to have to renew my Driver's license, my Disneyland Pass, and my Student ID (which I purposely got before school started so I could avoid all the crowds). I was also going to have to cancel my debit card so that no one could use it. It's really frustrating and I wish it hadn't happened. But there's no use complaining because it's already happened and there's nothing I can do about it.
I went to my next class thinking of everything that I'm going to have to do. There were 2 people in the room when I got there. The same no talk thing happened again. I suppose I could have started up a conversation, but I was nervous enough with this being my first day and all, and too busy thinking about the stuff I was going to have to do when I got home.
Around 10:00 our teacher came in. I really like her too. Math seems like it's going to be lots of fun. I've always enjoyed what I know of math so I'm excited. After class I went to Campus safety to see if maybe some kind soul found my wallet and turned it into them. Nope. I left the information about my wallet with them (just in case, you never know) and then drove home illegally. When I got home I asked my mom about going with me tomorrow to the DMV to get a new license and then I called my bank to cancel my debit card. They cancel it and tell me that I'll be getting a new one in about a week. Big relief now that that's over. I relaxed a little while listening to the amazing sound of the rain. I love the rain.
I started writing this post after a little while and then the power went out. That was fun. I was a little sad when the power came back on because it's kind of fun when the power's out.
Now here I sit finishing up this blog, which is longer then I meant it to be, and think about what tomorrow will bring.
