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.

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:)

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.
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.

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.
