Rain!! Yes, rain! I love it so. But rain can have weird effects on me. Makes me need lithium very badly (In case I haven't explained what that means before, Angie told me when I called her in Grand Junction, that when certain things are extracted from lithium, it makes a cure or a remedy for bipolarism.). Luckily the candles I lit help soothe me. I have been thinking a lot about what I want in my life. Not long term things, I mean, I've been thinking about that, but more like what I want in life right now. I've had to change my mind many times, and I'm still not sure of exactly what I want. And with my mood swings, it's been particularly difficult. I think the clouds have something to do with this, my mood swings that is. When it's cloudy but not raining, I feel like the clouds are smothering me. When it is raining, I feel mostly calm warm, and relaxed, but that smothering feeling comes back when the rain stops for a little while. Then it goes away again. But don't worry, as soon as the clouds clear up, I'm really happy again. If I can dance outside and make a fool out of my self, then I'm good. ^_^
Today I had that field trip for the special people. It was fun, nothing too exciting. Here's what happened:
1. Left school in the middle of reading.
2. Drove to Boulder and watched Back to the Future (a VERY odd movie)
3. Arrived at the planitarium at CU
4. Looked around in planitarium, and saw show thing
5. Walked to the Engineering part of campus and ate lunch in the courtyard
6. Played with all the cool things in the...one building (I can't remember what it was called)
7. Got back on the bus, talked with Amy about cute house we want to get if we both go to CU and about our cousins and friends and their bfs/gfs
8. Arrived at Celestial Seasonings and took tour (the tour was really long, it would take forever just to describe it like I'm describing the trip itself)
9. Sampled tea in the tour lobby, watched Kelly eat soooooooooo much sugar.
10. Amy and I sat outside in the little herb garden and sucked on "lemon balm" and some mint leaves and got the idea to make candles with it XD
11. Got back on the buses, headed back to school and finished watching Back to the Future
So that was our day, and it was way better then school! And I don't have school tomorrow or Friday. Woot!! Leah prolly will come over tomorrow for our applehead doll story, and I'm gonna go shopping to for the Simi Formal next Friday!! The theme is black and white, but I kinda want to wear a black skirt and a colorful spring halter. But first I have to find it! ^_^ I'm pretty phyched, and I'm not sure why, but I think it will be really fun. Plus, I get my braces off the day before!!!!! So I'll look better with out these wire evils that have been in my mouth for two years!!! I'm so excited! K, well, I have to go. Byebye!

Alright, ya I know, I haven't posted in a while. But I really haven't had the time. So I figure you may not want to hear about the rest of my trip, and I don't exactly want to take the time explaining it, because I have much more interresting things I can put on here that I need to put on here. I guess the most important thing that has happened is Amy has challenged me. I'm not too worried because I can play the stuff well, but still, she does have more skill then I do, and I'm a little nervous. Even though your chair says nothing about you, it's just to make sure the band sounds better overall. But I still love my solos so much. Lol. They are fun. Gah, I sound like Emily ><. I have also been invited to go on the special people science field trip. Woot. So this week I have only two days of school!!! YAY!! But I have to do my graphs tomorrow. Wich is ok, I mean, it's only 4 graphs which don't take long. Then I'm gone Wendsday, and there is no school Thursday or Friday!! *woot dance*
So there is the talent show that my team is having, but I'm really not sure if I want to do it. I mean it sounds like fun, but for one thing, I don't really have a talent. I mean there's my music, but no one besides serious band people care about that. I kinda want to do stand up comedy, but I have no one to do that with. Plus, I aint that funny. But a mini Whose Line would be da bomb. Speakin of which, that starts in 5 minutes! But I don't know what to do if I do the the show. I'd prolly embarass myself beyond my imagination. "Look there goes that girl. She's such a freak. She's lame she has no talent." Then they throw things at me ><>
Ok, well, I've bored you enough. You can leave now. Be gone with you!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a long time, but I've been really stressed and busy latley. I haven't really had time to update this thing. So I guess I'll give you all a run down on our trip ok? (I'll have to do about 3 posts on it, they will be pretty long). Oh and I apologize for spelling errors.
DAY ONE:
So on Thursday morning we left. It took us a pretty long time to get situated. I listened to my music and played with my mom's cell for a while, then I tried to nap cuz the fumes from the bus were getting inside, and it stung my eyes. But after a while we got moving. Sharon and I played a game of war for about 20 minutes, then some other card games, then Hayley and I killed gummie bears and I listened to my music some more. The whole time, the sevies were really really annoying. Oh ya and Ben let me play his Fire Emblem. It was fun ^_^. When we got to Glenwood Springs we sat on the bus for a really long time, then had fun in the pool. Except when Mitch and them splashed the really gross tasting water at Amy and I. Oh ya, and Dalton was in a speedo...EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Then we went to go eat with our group. As we were on the bridge walking over the highway, we were thinking about what would happen if it were to suddenly collapse. The cars below us would get hit by us, and then when we went over the train tracks, we decided we would get hit by them. Alas, only Amy, Sharon, Gina and I could manage to get hit by train tracks!!
We ate lunchhhhh at this cute little resturaunt called Our Daily Bread...I think. I may be getting it confused with my blog URL XD. Then we went to go get ice cream at this adorable little shop. Omg, it was so freakin' cute!! I got cookie dough, Amy got the Bunny Tracks (it was Blu Bunny Ice Cream), Gina the strawberry cheesecake and Sharon........Mickey's Magical Colors, err something like that. It turned your tounge magical colors, lol! So all day we were asking to see her tounge and we even got pictures!! (Oh ya, and the train tracks that are going to hit us, they are magical too!) Then we went back to the springs to catch up with Mr. Penguin. And then we...sat on the bus for a while then departed for Grand Junction. The ride there wasn't too bad, I called Mariah (from Eskimos) and we talked a bit, and the sevies were clinging to Mitch like his game was a magnetic force, so he has "sevie cling". That game has become his life, or at least it was during the trip.
Then we were finally there. But guess what we did once we got to the hotel? Sat...on the bus. And guess what? The air conditioning broke down!! So it was really really hot in there. And then FINALLY we got to get off. Mr. Penguin gave us our keys and we went to our room. It was so nice to be there. Our room wasn't too shabby either XD. I unpacked the loads of candy I brought, took a shower, then Amy, Gina and I went looking for the guy's room to give them some of the candy. I think we knocked on about 2 different rooms before we saw Mitch coming and he led us too the right room. But I don't think he was too happy to see us, Alex either. Till I gave em candy, lol. Then we went to the mall for dinner. But we had to get a new bus because our's had a broken air conditioning. It took forever!! But Ben showed us his Wott dance which was one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life! When we finally got going, Sharon and I talked for a bit, and then when we got there we...sat...on the bus. (I was starting to see a trend there) Then our group went to Wendy's for dinner, and we filled out one of those comment cards, but did nothing serious about it. Lol. In the comments we put (btw, we is Amy, Gina, Sharon and I, like most of the time) "I liked my Frosty" and "I look so good!" and "Do your chickens have large talons?" XD. It was a blast. Then we went into the normal mall for a bit. I went to Hot Topic and got Gir dice, and some earrings. WHICH I LOST ONE OF!!!!! Omg, it sucked, but that's a completly different day! Then we went back to the hotel, Sharon, Mariah and I played BS, then spoons. Once when our chaperone came around and saw the light on, she's like "What is the light on for?!" and our answer was "We're using it as a night light!" So then we moved our game into the batheroom man, it was sooooo fun. Sharon got all the cards in spoons once, and went "Oo, oo, I'm done!" So Mariah and I look at each other and grab the little shampoo bottles we were using instead of spoons! It was soooooo funny. Ya, and then we went to sleep, sorta, Sharon and I whispered a while.
Well, that was Day one. I promiss to finish day two tomorrow, possibly day three as well.

Tomorrow morning we leave for Grand Junction. Woot, a week away from my family and with my friends. And we get to miss two days of school, one of which we would be stuck with Ms. Calahan for most of the day. I would rather get a terrible illness then spend the day with her. EVIL!!!! But there are two snags that kinda make the trip like less exciting. One is spending the day in Coach buses. The other is: we got an addition to our room. Maria Packer is in our room. Not that that is so horrible, its just, I was really really really really looking forward to just sharing a room with Amy and Sharon. Maria is nice, but I'm not too close of friends with her. The main reason why I'm annoyed about this is she never signed up in the first place. For a room I mean. I would probably welcome her if she had, and like her group got split up, that would suck, but now I can't be with just Amy and Sharon cuz of this. Oh well, Mr. C. changed the bus problem (long story) so maybe he was nice and fixed this up as well?
So after I got home from school, I put on my Simple Plan CD and was all singing along with it when I was packing. Hehe, it was fun! I had a trumpet lesson today, so I had to leave before I completly finished packing. But it wasn't really a lesson. When I went in there, I asked for new stuff to play since we had finished this one book. So we went over to Rockly's and looked at some stuff. Then Hayley ambushsed me. She snuck up on me, but I like saw her before she attacked, (she looked like she was ready to pounch, lol) and she looked all dissapointed. So ya, we spent our whole time looking for new music, but we never really found anything, because the thing we picked out had to be retunred, long story. So when I came home, I had to call Gina. But I didn't have her number, so Mitch was uber nice and he got it for me. Lol, so when I called her, I invited her to go to the gas station to pick out some...stuff (I can't say what it is, she could get in trouble if I do, it's not bad though) but she couldn't go. :( So I went later with my mom when we all went out to dinner. Gosh, I got so much of the stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (mention this add and get a free piece of it.)
In other news, we made apple head dolls today in LA! It was so much fun I have to say. Mine turned out decent, although the lines are still there. But it was really fun cuz it's just better then Stonewall's Gold. By far. Leah and I are working together, but we can't figure out what to do! Oh well, I have to go now, I gotta get up really early tomorrow. ByeBye!

PS: Happy Birthday to.....AMY!

Today was an eventful day, even though it was way boring. It started out as a normal school day, listen to Mr. Hovis and Mr. Hitler ^_^ drone on about everything. Lang arts was neat, we had a test, but it was easy, then we just talked for the rest of the class. I finally got my band forms in, about a month over due, lol, but ya. We got a new song, and for a little bit of it, I get to play pic!! Woot! It's so small and cute, but way friggin high pitched lol. It's still a lot of fun though. And we are playing Pirates of the Carribean now! It's pretty fun, and the best part is is that everyone will be willing to pratice!! Yay for that! We also got our schedule for the trip next week, and sooo many people were complaining about waking up at 5:30 AM. I don't like the idea of getting up that early at all, but...So ya, that was band.
Math was strange, we talked a lot about the statistics project, and decided to send it to Iraq along with our nuclear waste and the radioactive cows. Lmao. Don't ask, it's a 4th period thing.
Nothing else really happened during school, except Ms. Calahan was a jerk again. So after school I came home and watched some TV then went to my lesson. It was fun, although since I didn't pratice much, I wasn't very good, lol. Then Robin's nephew came in, and we played trios. It was pretty fun. After I got out of my lesson, Carla and I went to7-Eleven and got slurpees and candy. As we were coming home, we were talking about stuff, and I noticed my seatbelt wasn't on, so I put it on. When we got to the Blockbuster, or like near it on Alameda, the radio was talking about all these car accedents. Seconds later, before I knew what was going on, we had slammed into the car in front of us. Oh my God is was scary. The lady's car skidded about 15 feet infront of us.
Here's what happened: As the light in front of us turned from green to yellow, the lady started to speed up a bit so she could make it through. Carla did that too, because that yellow light lasts a while and we were close enough to make it. All of a sudden, I guess she changed her mind and slammed on her brakes. Carla was too close and she couldn't stop, so we hit her. Niether of us were hurt, and the lady wasn't either, but I have a bruise on my chest from the seat belt (wich I was so dumb enough not to put it on in the first place, but I was lucky and was smart enough to put it back on, else I would have gone through the windsheild.) Fortunatly, niether car was damaged badly, and there was a cop right behind us (a good thing because A) Carla does not have a cell cuz her's broke, and B) we wouldn't have to wait for an hour for a cop to show.) so since the cars could drive, we pulled over a ways and got everything settled. Get this, the cop was the same one that pulled my dad over for speeding a few weeks ago, lol.
Carla was in hysterics the entire time. I felt so bad for her, and I didn't know what to say, so I tried to find some humor in the situation just so she could calm down. Like when she got out her insurance card, I was all "You'll be glad you had a State Farm agent" not all that funny, but at the time it helped her. So even though the accedent wasn't Carla's fault, because she hit the lady, she got a ticket, and was all scared she would get yelled at because she would have to go to court. It was even worse because she had never even gotten a ticket before, and she had to get her first one in an accedent. So we drove to her house to see if her mom could drive us back to my house, but she couldn't so Carla had too. She was so freaked, but at least we took the Durango so she wasn't as scared. Because Lola (her car, XD) is really unreliable, plus it was making weird noises.
So ya, that was my day, pretty freaky. Not all that fun. But at least I walked away from it ready for tomorrow. Lol.

Today was the first game of the season. Soccer that is. Our game was early, and I woke up kinda late so I didn't get breakfast. Not a good thing. For the first half, I was a defender, woo woo, but I didn't get to play in goal (that's ok, Carlie did a super job). Because I hadn't gotten anything to eat (that and the sad fact that I was out of shape and couldn't run very hard) I was having trouble running and breathing. So I was greatful that Nancy kept taking me out. Then after eating oranges at half time, I started feeling a lot better. I could run longer and faster, so I asked Nancy to put me in as a forward. It was fun, I didn't get tired out, and I didn't get taken out so that was cool too. I also had a goal too! Well sorta, the ref (who was Darren Cassy by the way) called it off sides. Oh well, Nancy said it was a goal at heart. But we won in a shut out 4-0 anyways. Lol. Mickey got a hat trick too!
After the game, I came home and watched Gilmore Girls all day (Gilmore Saturdays). It was cool. That is such a great show. But I have a bruise on my hip from Hannah. She just slapped me out of the blue. It hurts.
Well, I g2g, I don't feel very good, so I'm going to go to bed. Bye!
