What's this Life For- Creed |
] |
Okay, so I have a couple simple yet challenging goals for my senior year....
1- Not fail.
2-Don't catch the dreaded Senioritis
3-Go to both homecoming and prom
4-Apply for every scholarship available
5-Become prom queen
Now, I need help on how to achieve #5. When prom season comes around, all the juniors and seniors nominate people they want to see on the Prom Court and then from there, the seniors (I believe) choose who they want to be the King and Queen. So, in order to get on the Court you have to have enough people nominate you. So, what is the fastest way to spread the word to nominate me?? I would absolutely love to steal the crown away from some preppy girl. But I'm not sure how to go about doing it. Someone help.

Gardening by the Yard (HGTV) |
] |
I had quite the adventure yesterday. Well, I got up at my normal time to get ready for work. It was quite because Michael was on his way to Vegas. So, it was just me. Anyways, I got to work and realized that I was in a really good mood. Plus we were going to spend the afternoon washing the truck, so how you not be in a good mood?? After getting coffee and collecting the trash in the cemetery we decided that nobody would mow, weedwhip, blow, etc. Instead all four of us will trim bushes. We trimmed up the trees across from the chapel and we trimmed up the bushes at the entrance. We also fixed up the mulch bed around the chapel then we moved to the section we call New Catholic. So what happens when all of us trim is Steve and I will trim the bush then Dickie will come and brush off the bush with a rake. I was really excited because we had just gotten our gas trimmers from the garage. They replaced the gas tank and we got brand new blades. I got to test put these trimmers first and Dickie wanted me to see how good they cut. Let me tell ya...they cut beautifully. I was going to town with these things and about the fifth bush I was on I wanted Dickie to rake off the bush so I could see the spots that I missed. As I stepped back, I felt something wasn't right and I felt something kinda warm and my leg vibrated for about a half second. I looked down and saw there was a decent sized hole in my jeans and that blood was now seeping through them. I pulled up my jeans to see that I had cut my knee. So, Dickie took me up to the chapel to see if we had any bandages and he called Jeff (the big boss). He couldn't reach him and the more he thought about it the more he thought I should go to the hospital. So, he took me to the emergency room and surprisingly I got in really fast. Well, one thing lead to another and I ended up getting seven stitches. The cut itself didn't really hurt, the process of stitching me up didn't hurt, but what hurt more than anything was the numbing process. The needle poke hurt a lot but then the injection hurt more because it burned like wild fire. We were driving back Jeff came over the radio and asked if we were on our way back, if I was doing okay, and if we could stop by his office so I could fill out an injury report. So, if anyone didn't know I got hurt they did then. And you could tell that they were kinda looking for me because almost all of our trucks were around the compound and/or the cemetery. It was kinda funny. But I didn't have to do anything the rest of the day. I was given the task of supervising. However, we didn't get to wash the truck. I didn't get to eat lunch either. So, I couldn't tell if I felt a little ill because of my knee or because I hadn't eaten anything all day.
But that was my huge adventure of the day. That was the first time I was ever a patient in the hospital. First time I had to get stitches. OH! And they're blue stitches instead of the boring old black ones. So, that's kinda cool. I have to wait a week to ten days before getting them out. And that too will be an experience.

We Fall Down-Chris Tomlin |

Hello Everyone.
I am back from my missions trip and I want to thank all of you that prayed for me. I had an awesome time. I won't go into much detail because in the next couple days I will be posting my journal from the trip. And obviously it will go into a lot more detail.
This little post was just thank you for praying and to tell y'all that I'm still alive.
xoxo ^_^

I'm pretty much a nervous wreck right now. X_X <--That's how I'm feeling at this point in time.
lol. I am getting REALLY nervous about the trip. I never thought in a million years that it would be this nerve racking. I guess for being my first trip and knowing absolutely nothing about it is I think what's causing this pit in my stomach. We leave in two days...Thursday at 4 pm.
Please if you would pray that God would ease my anxiety and calm me down just a bit so that I can focus my whole mind on the purpose of this trip. Oh geez...I'm turning into just like my mom. She's turns into basket-case too before any trip she goes on.
Anyways it's really cool because it's thundering really loudly. The sky is just going to open up and it's going to pour at any minute. I love the moments right before it just down pours. The smell, the feeling of the wind picking up, how the sky looks, the nervousness of whether or not you're going to get your outside chore done before you get soaked, the excitement of a big storm coming...I could go on forever. Can you tell I love big thunder and lightning storms?? lol. Ooo...a big flash of lightning just flashed. WOO STORMS! ^_^

Just wanted to get this out there. GOD IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I am in awe about how He can use something that started off as a lie and make it into full blown evangelism. I am in the whoa. I think we planted the seed.
I leave for my missions trip in 5 days. I am really excited and yet really nervous. I can't wait. ^_^ Please pray for the obvious trip stuff and also that God may soften the hearts of anyone who might listen to us as we explain our story to them.

My Name- George Canyon |

So, this morning I got up at the ass crack of dawn in order to take the dreaded ACT. X_X It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was still really hard. For more than half of the math section I play eenie-meenie-monie-moe in order to decide which lettered bubble to fill in. The science section was pretty much the same. They had all sorts of charts and graphs and crap like that, then you get like 10 questions about those things. Well, I couldn't figure which graph they're getting that question from, so I completely BS'ed that whole portion of the test. I am so thankful that it's over. And I'm considering no matter what my score is...I'm not taking it again...except if I get a REALLY low score. The lady told us that we should get our results in 4-7 weeks, so only time will tell now. *crosses fingers*
Oh, and I almost forget....ahem....
HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER!!!! YAY! ^_^ OXXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Okay, so I'm kinda depressed at this moment in time. I need/want to confront someone about a problem I have with them and I don't know how to bring it up because it's a REALLY touchy subject. I'm nervous and afraid to talk to them about this problem because I think I'm scared what the answer/truth might be.
This whole dilemma is made alot worse because I can feel myself drifting away from God again and right now I need to lean on Him more than ever, especially if I confront this problem. I hate feeling this way. And I hope that it will pass soon. I pray that I have the courage to talk to this particular person and the strength to hear and accept the hard truth.
Please, for anybody who may read this...please pray for me and this person. I'm sorry for being so cryptic in this post but I need to talk but at the same I can't talk. So, I'm between a rock and a hard place. Just please pray.

So, how excited am I?? I have one more exam then I'm officially a senior. WOO! I am almost done. The only exam I know I failed was German III. That was I hard exam and I totally blanked out for the majority it. Plus, it didn't help that I didn't study that hard because I thought I knew the material.
So, then on Monday I start work and I am so pumped. I can't wait. I love my job. ^_^

Okay, so last night Casey and I went to go see X-Men III. For as much advertising there was about it, I didn't think it was all that good. However, it was still amazing...but I was expecting it to be over the top, blow me away, but it was just plain ol' amazing. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense. The special effects were fantastic. But the plot was a little weak. I think it was too simple. I have mixed feelings about the movie. There was a lot more humor in this one, however it was more of little kid humor with the words "bitch" and "dick head" thrown into the mix. There was also a little more sex/nudity in this one. There is still no sex, but a couple of "whoa they're gonna do it!" but then they stopped. I also smiled a bit, because you finally got to see Scott's eyes! They were gorgeous. ((Scott is the guy with the red glasses))
Until last night, I had forgotten how much I loved Halle Berry. She's an amazing actress and very beautiful too. I also forgot how much I like Hugh Jackman too. ^_^ I love all his hair in all its crazy, burliness. lol.
So, overall I really enjoyed it. But I was a little disappointed.

I feel so girly in this moment in time. I got home from shopping a little while ago and I got some really cute clothes. I REALLY like them. I can't remember a time I got this excited about clothes. I got a really pretty brown skirt, a pair of brown pants with white and pink pinstripes, then a tank top that matches both. Then I went to Old Navy and got some jeans, a pink shirt that matches my pants, a white sweater thingy, a windbreaker, 4th of July t-shirt, and flip flops. And I love this part the most...All on sale!! I found all of it, except for like two things on the clearance rank.
Lately, I've been kinda scrubbin' it, but now I really want to wear my skirts and stuff to school. ^_^ Oh geez. Right now I'm so girly and I love it.

Billy's Got His Beergoggles On- Neal McCoy |
] |
Wow. It's been a really long time since I last wrote a real entry. Anyways, let me think about what's been going on.
Two, maybe three weeks ago, all of us going on the missions trip this summer got dividing into three teams. I got put on the yellow team and I believe we're mainly going to be focusing on outreach. The leaders are trying to keep as much of this trip a surprise to the students going. They say it will strengthen our trust in God because we're letting Him guide us. I'm really nervous about going because this will be my first missions trip, but at the same time I'm really excited.
hmm...oh. As of May 11, 2006 (lol) I finally finished my welding project. It took me roughly three months to finish it. Granted, I was only working on it for about an hour a day. But it's done and it looks amazing. I can't wait until Sunday because I'm going to give it to my mom. She already knows that I was plant stand and she knew it was nearing the finish because she brought the spray paint, but she has no idea that it's actually done and in my car. The last two days I was explaining all the "problems" I've recently encountered, just to throw her off a bit.
I'm kinda bummed because I got asked to prom twice this year, which under normal circumstances I would be thrilled, but both guys are people that I don't like as more than a friend. So, I turned them both down and now they haven't been talking to me as much as they did before they asked. It's not like I actually expected that things wouldn't be awkward, but in a way I guess I did. I don't know.
Oh, I got my summer job back and I start June 5. I am so pumped. I can't wait to see all the guys again.
I only have 15 more days of school. Then I'm officially a senior. I'm getting more nervous about college because I still have no idea what I want to do, where I want to go, there's too much to think about so I guess I'm just not thinking about it. I still have to do some more school research...which isn't going too well. I mailed in my ACT registration about a week ago. I'm really nervous about that one too. I want to get a high enough score so I won't have to retake it. I also want to get at least a 19 because if I don't then I'll never live it down. Michael would never let me hear the end about how he scored higher than me.
And think that's all. I can't think of anything else that's been going on.

I didn't realize how long it's been since I last updated. The only cool thing that happened since then was that today I got my ears pierced. I got my cartilage pierced too, and that's the only part that still hurts. It's weird. I dunno. I hope it feels better by tomorrow. Oh, and I'm finally on spring break. It couldn't have come at a better time. Casey and I are planning on going to visit Jamie this weekend and it will be super fun...even if there's nothing to do. Afterall, it is amish country. lol.
I've been playing sims alot, and I have also taken sooo many pictures. So my next sim updates will be in fragments. So, here we go....
When we last saw the MacVyden and Dunbar families they were quite happy. Emma was pregnant and after an ultrasound she found out that she was going to have another boy. Now that her and Luke knew the sex of the baby, they can decide on a fitting name for the coming son.

Ain't the Way That I Wanna Go Out-Craig Morgan |
] |
This will sound really dumb, but I'm not used to so many people being nice to me. In particular...the guys in my welding class. I had welding last year, and the guys in that class were complete asses. They were pigs and rude. They pretty much ignored me and let me do my own thing. Out of approx. 14 guys, only one was actually kind enough to acknowledge my existence. That was Joe. ^_^ But that's a completely different story. However, this years welding crew is completely different. They're nice to me...they talk to me...they mess around with me...it's actually nice to be apart of the class. For example, at the beginning of class we all put on our shields (face protectors), and I was standing there waiting for the a station to open up when this one guy came up and pressed his face against my mask. It was really funny. He did this several times. ^_^ He's the one that talks to me all the time. He's actually pretty nice. I'm not sure if he's flirting with me or not. It's kinda hard to tell. But I actually like that class now.
Oh, yesterday I wasn't wear a fire proof jacket, so when the torch popped, sparks went flying and apparently a few landed on my shirt because later I discovered little dark spots all over the front of my shirt. It's only singed though. Then today, I hard difficulty get the striker to spark so when it did my hand was too close to the torch when it actually lit, so all the hair on my index finger got burned off. It was the weirdest sensation ever. It was like a wave of heat traveled from the tip of my finger all the way to the top of my knuckle. It still kinda feels funny. It had a greyish tint to it afterwards too. ^_^ lol. I swear, I'm gonna get seriously hurt by the time the semester ends. Praise the Lord if I don't. I don't know what happened, but I just totally lost my touch from last year. Hopefully, I get it back and get it back fast.

Ya know, I really hate having such a fickle heart. I can never make up my mind of who I like and who I don't. My crushes last for all of about a week, and they're gone. I hate that. I would have never believed that me of all people would be talking about who I like. Not until last year did I ever talk about this stuff. ^_^ But yes. I'm in a pickle. I don't know if I want to go to prom with John or Mitch. I really want to go...but so far no one to go with...and I'm not going unless I have a date.
I am so confused. @_@ argg...I hate this. So much.

Law & Order |

Well, I might have some good news. I just might have another potential date for prom. I just found out that he had broken up his his girlfriend in November. Obviously, I'm a little behind, but he had told this after I told him that it would be really cool if he would draw a bouquet of roses for his GF for Valentine's Day. He is a magficient artist and he showed me his drawings on a couple occasions. I told him, instead of buying a rose for the school to deliver, draw a bouquet of roses and just color one of them. If it was done right it would look really beautiful. I forget exactly how it came up...I think I asked him what his GF's name, and he told me and added the fact that he had broken up with her in November. So, I'm wondering if he might draw the rose picture or another picture for me.
His name is Mitch. He's about my height and has shoulder length brown hair. I think he looks good with long hair. He's laid back...one of those take-it-as-it-comes kind of guys. From what I gather, he's respectful and polite. He respects the boundaries of his relations. Like, he never went into much detail about his girlfriend, even if I asked. So that's always a plus. Also, he doesn't seem very spontaneous. Though he seems like one of those big teddy bear types, like a big romantic.
So far, there's only two guys that I want to go to prom with...John or Mitch. It sounds dumb but it think guys have been paying more attention to me, but I don't feel as though I changed any in order to draw that extra attention. Casey says I might have gotten more outgoing. But I'm boggled.
I've been seeing John a lot more. But not as much as I did during the first semester. I still sometimes get a couple butterflies. However, my friend always comes to my locker after school and I only get to say hi to John when she come barging over. I hate that so much. Because of her, I don't get to have our little talks. I miss them so much.
If anyone has any relationship advice it would be greatly appreciated. Because Lord knows I need some.
