Oooh, and spiffy new journal thingies!

so uhm, long time no update, yeah? So I went and saw Phantom of the Opera downtown at the Fox Theater. Oh, my, gosh. <3 It was amazing, really truly, amazing. I won't describe it because I won't give it justice. Just, go see it. :]

Nothing has really been goin' on lately. I haven't talked to you guys a bunch. :/ It's making me sad. Goal: talk to you.

I read the book "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult, and oh my gosh, I don't think I've ever cried so hard. It's SOOOO sad. But it was amazing. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. It's not even really a girly book. My guy friend read it and liked it. It might sound familiar because it was made into a movie... if that rings any bells. Anyhow, read it.

School: Algebra II still sucks. I don't even know what we're talking about in there. Fail. We have a test Wednesday that I'm for sure gonna fail. Chemistry test tomorrow, not worried about that. Everything is really fine. Except for a couple new school rules. Explained in link.

which leads to...I got a new blog. Again. xD So if you want, you can, go check it out. -kicks dirt- [link]

My mom bought these frozen lemonade things in a cup, and those are amazing. I think I've eaten like all 7 of them in the past 4 days. Sad, no?

I miss tennis. I've just been sitting around inactively and I swear I'm going to gain ten pounds from those lemonade things. We had tennis pictures last Tuesday, and those were good. I miss the team. :/ I also miss watching the U.S. Open. Rafael Nadal shoulda won. Either way...

So I've been spending like all of my free time (which really isn't that much) watching The Office. I love that show. Ahhh, I've watched the first four seasons in three weeks. Yeeeppp. I'm in love. What can I say. ;]

how are you guys? Oh my gosh, I don't even know what I'm typing. I'm just tired, and hyper, and kinda hungry, and I just need to go to bed.

I haven't posted a journal anytime recently, so I'd thought I'd do that, and update you guys on what's going on, considering I haven't talked to any of you in a billion years.

School is getting a little better. I'm doing fine in all my classes except for my Adv. Algebra II class. At first, I thought I just wasn't paying close enough attention, even so it didn't help. My teacher in that class is horrible. My friend Jackie, corrects him all the time in that class, so it's like great. I have a teacher who doesn't even know how to do the problems himself. We had a big test in there a couple days ago and I thought I did decent-- like a B. I got a 70%. Almost a D. Ugh. And today he yelled at me because I used his stapler wrong. It's like WTH. How can you even use a stapler wrong?

Moving on. Tennis is fun. Going good. It's almost over though. My last game is October 2 and then we have a district tournament the 5th, but I'm not sure I'm playing in that or not...

I'm getting sick. Dandy.

OH! Our choir is going to see Phantom of the Opera at the Fox, which will be amazing. That'll be so fun. We're also going to Chicago this year too, in Marchish? maybe. Somewhere around there. :]

I've been watching Glee--I love that show. :]]

That's really about it. Nothing new has really been happening. How about you guys?

]]> ~NoReins22 http://NoReins22.deviantart.com/journal/26844806/ http://NoReins22.deviantart.com/journal/26844806/ Wed, 26 Aug 2009 19:59:58 PDT for an update, methinks.

School sucks. So much. I have 1-2 hours of homework, almost every night just because of my Algebra II class. My teacher for that class is so... UGH. He makes me so mad. I want to whack him over the head with my backpack! He doesn't teach and in an algebra class, you need to teach us how to do that freakin problem. Then when we ask questions he gets mad that we don't understand. I'm like wtc! D:<

All my other classes are ok for the most part except for Intro to Communications -- my speech class. I don't know anybody in there except for one girl, who I really don't know; she is in choir, but not the same one as me. Either way, The class is like 75% boys and 25% girls... it sucks.

Tennis is going ok, just exhausting and time consuming since I have practice every day after school. But I'm getting better and it's fun, so it's worth it. Our first game was supposed to be yesterday but the other team didn't show up: to their own courts! It's like, what the heck?! So we won by default. So tomorrow we have a home game, so it's technically my first. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. Wish me luck?

Oh, I had to quit my piano lessons. :/ For now, at least. I can't do it because tennis interferes with it, and I really don't have time to practice it at all... Sad day for meeeee.

On to good news: Our pastor and his family moved in yesterday! [If you didn't know, our church has been looking for a pastor for 3 years, and we finally gots one! ] So I'm really excited about that. They have 10 kids; 5 of them are adopted and 5 are their own. -ishappy-

I started reading "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire for my English class. It's so different from the musical already. And very political. I'm on what? the third chapter? haha. It's pretty good. Kinda hard to read, but I'll plow through. :3

Ahh, and "The Siege of Macindaw" came out like 3 weeks ago but I finally got it today. I have to read that. <3

Other than that, I really don't have much to say. I have some more pictures I would like to upload to here, but I don't have time. And I'm tired right now. Exhausted really. sooo later.

School starts Thursday, August 13, for me which means I have only one full day of freedom left. Grrr... Which really, is not even that, because I joined the tennis team and we have practice tomorrow, 3:30-6. Consequently, I didn't have my physical done the first day of practice [aka: yesterday], so I had to get it done this morning and then turn it in and go practice. So lucky little me had no idea what was going on since I missed the whole "welcome to the tennis team, here are all the rules and regulations" chat. xD

I really have no idea what I was thinking.

Our school used to have an A/B day blocked schedule, where you would have 4 classes for A day, and 4 different classes for B day. Now, we have 7 hours a day, and no A/B day. Which is really frustrating because now I can't take Trig this year because I would have taken 3 math classes normally, and now I can't. It's kind of confusing, and I sound like I love math, where in reality I hate it. Either way.

Which also means I can't procrastinate my homework and have to do it every night. -sigh- And then not to mention practice. Thankfully, tennis is only a fall sport. :] But then I'm doing the musical in the spring [or I hope to be...]. -shot-

Anyhow, if you're interested, this is my schedule this year:

1.) Adv. Algebra 2
2.) French 2
3.) A Capella Choir
4.) Intro to Comm
5.) Chemistry
6.) Soc Studies 10 - Western Civ.
7.) Adv. English 10

I'm fine with my classes, except for Intro to Comm which is a mandatory speech class. I don't like to talk in front of people...

I'm just kinda nervous for this school year I suppose. I just feel like I've got a lot on my plate, with all my advanced classes, then tennis, then my youth group, and I forgot about my piano lessons. I don't think I can continue with them because practice gets in the way, and I really don't want to stop. I think I just need to go to bed.

Last week I went on a mission trip with my church youth group with an organization called World Changers to Buffalo, New York and it was a LOT of fun. :] I was put on a crew with a really good friend of mine, and though the rest of the crew [which were people from all over the US] kinda sucked, it was still fun. We scraped and painted a house and redid a little roof/awning type thing. xD

Before we went, we bought a new air mattress. Piece. Of. Crap. I mean, really. My friend bought a new one and gave me her other one, so I put that one on top of mine, still didn't work. >.> So on the third night, Wednesday, one of my youth leaders was like, "Oh I have one you can use!" I was fine the rest of the week. lol.

Wednesday was our day off, so we only worked from about 7 to noon, [still a lot, I know] so we went downtown and did some shopping and then went out to eat and then went to Niagara Falls at night. Which was cool. :] They had a special fireworks thing they were doing, so that was really cool too.

Worked the rest of the week, then Saturday morning we packed up and went to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. One word: beautiful. Ohh, it was so pretty! And Canada itself was awesome! Made New York look like crap, lol. So naturally, I took a million pictures over the whole week, so yes, I have some to put up.

OH! Which reminds me, my new camera is awesome! I am like, in love with it. It's so much better than my old Kodak. <3

So that's pretty much just a brief summary of my past week. ^^

]]> ~NoReins22 http://NoReins22.deviantart.com/journal/26139584/ http://NoReins22.deviantart.com/journal/26139584/ Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:44:23 PDT and I'm not even done packing! ahhhh!!!

So uhm, anyway. xD I thought I should let ya'll know that I'm going on a mission trip to Buffalo, New York [and I won't have internet!] so I won't be on all next week. I'm also going to Niagara Falls! Woot! I'll be coming back August 2nd or 3rd. :3

I still need to pack my shoes...and tools... and overnight pack... and coloring books and crayons...and...

OH. GUESS WHAT. I GOTS A NEW CAMERA! IT'S SPIFFY. [link] [it's the blue one]

So yeah, after about a week of research, I decided to go with that one and blow most of my money. xD But I really wanted to get a camera before I went on my trip so I went through with it and the 5 hours I've had it it's been pretty cooool. :]

so, I really need to finish packing now. later!

So, I went to Best Buy to see if they could fix my camera [see my last journal] and my warranty had expired, 2 days ago. So they wouldn't do a thing. Nothing. I'm beyond ticked. So... yeah. I'm going to have to save up for a new one, which I don't really want to do. I feel like I just kinda wasted my money, you know? Ugh, it's so irritating. >.>

Anys, just a 'lil update. :3

But now I'm home. ^^ And I return to this: 147 Deviations, 29 Messages. 0-0

We went to Daytona Beach Florida for a week, and it was amazing. 8D I love love love the beach. And I got a good tan! xD We also went to the movies twice, and I saw Star Trek the first time-- which was actually really good-- and then The Proposal the second time-- which was really good and funny as well.

I took a decent amount of pictures, but on the second to last day we were there, I was walking on the beach with my parents and my camera strap broke [while my camera was on] and it hit the beach and broke. The lens is all crooked and it won't go back in, and my camera won't even turn on. -sighs- So I can't upload anything atm, hopefully I can get it fixed? I don't remember what type of warranty I got with it, or if I got any at all [with my luck I probably didn't], sooo.... I'm hoping we can at least get it looked at. :/

I started reading the Harry Potter books again, and read 1, 2, 3, and 5 on vacation. xD I was hoping to get through all of them, but...didn't happen. I also couldn't find the 4th one anywhere, but that's my least favorite anyhow so I don't feel like going back anyhow. BUT I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW MOVIE!! <3 Anyone going to see it at midnight besides me? xDDD

Oh yeah, I said I'd get those Rascal Flatts pictures up about a month ago.... I'm sort of working on it. xD

Now I'm going to go take a nap because I've been stuck in the car for 17 hours, so ta! (:

OH. MY. GOSH.
RASCAL FLATTS WAS AMAZING LAST NIGHT.
-dies-

Ahhh! I don't even know how to describe it. It was definitely everything I thought it was going to be and more. They were so much fun!! Meet your next Entertainer of the Year. ;D

I went with one of my friends who's in college and we had really good seats--least I thought. When I ordered them I didn't think they were great, but when we actually got there, they were really good and yeah. :]

I took 307 pictures in all last night. Is that sad? lol! Ahhh, they were so so amazing! And they also did some Beatles songs too which was awesome. xDD But if I had to pay the $90 to go see them again, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I also got a shirt, I couldn't resist. <3

At first, we didn't think we were going to get there on time (it started at 8 and we left about 7) and so we're driving down the high way and neither of us have ever been to the place before, so we're cruising along and there is this huge long line of cars, and we keep going and then realize that that was the exit we were supposed to get off of. Haha, so we turn around and go the other way, and once again huge long line of cars only they were all on the shoulder now. So I don't know what Allison was thinking, but she doesn't get into the line of cars that are turning off the exit, so we had to go a different way for the THIRD time! rofl! It was so funny..but bad at the same time. xD So we finally got onto the right exit and got there fine after that. Haha, an adventure before the adventure. ;D

I'll have to go through all my pictures, (which could take a while...) and find the ones I like the most, and hopefully I can get them up in the next couple days.

I do have one critique though, and that is that it should have been longer. xD

EDIT;;
I forgot to add a title, so I did. I must've been too pumped. xD

I am so happy for him and so glad that he can now finally begin his career.

Secondly, this is directed to all you incompetent people out there who feel like throwing hate to Kris and complaining he isn't good enough to be the winner. Well, the last time I checked America voted for the winner, and the majority of America obviously felt that Kris was better than Adam.

Now, what ticks me off is when people are sore losers and are mad that he won fair and square, and that Adam didn't. Yes, Adam was good, very good. And he deserved to be in the top 2, and if he would've won, he would have deserved to. But that didn't happen. Kris won, and he deserves it just as much as Adam would have if he did.

Also, before Kris won, people were all, "Oh, if Adam is to lose to anyone, I want it to be Kris!" and blah blah blah. But now that Kris actually won, everyone is throwing a hissy-fit and now being hypocrites throwing hate to Kris and saying how he sucks and whatnot. I went to the Adam boards to say how I felt for them and that Adam would still have a great career or whatever, but then stopped because of all the hate Kris was receiving. I wasn't going to give sympathy to people like that. Sorry.

And then, people were saying how he only won because everyone hates Adam because he's gay and "American can't handle it yet". Which is pure bull. I'm pretty sure that in some states, gay marriage is LEGAL. I honestly don't approve of gay marriage, but that's not the reason I didn't vote for Adam. I voted for Kris because he appealed to me and was one of my favorites since the start--not because Adam was gay! I absolutely love Adam, and would have been happy if he won. Yes, I would have been a bit bummed that Kris didn't win, but not angry or anything. So that excuse is inapt.

Another thing is when people say that Kris won because all the Danny Gokey fans voted for him because they hate Adam which one, isn't even that true. A LOT of Danny fans voted for Adam as well. You can't just stereotype all of his fans and say that they all voted for Kris, because they didn't.

I could go on with the list of "reasons" that Kris won, but I'm not going to.

Yes, some of these things were contributing factors to his win, I'm not denying that, but it's not the sole reason he won. He won because people loved his voice. He won because people loved his music. He won because people can connect and relate to him. He won because he is humble and deserving.

So when people try to snatch all his hard work and all that he's done to get where he is now away from him, it ticks me off to no other. Really? How immature can you get? And when people are like, "I'm never watching American Idol again because he didn't win." Once again, really? Just because you're favorite person didn't win, they still brought you so much happiness throughout the competition and they are still going to move on and become great artists. They'll get record deals and this is not the end of the road for them, just the beginning.

Let me clear something up as well. I'm not saying that you can't be sad that Adam won, because that would be hypocritical and not right. I'm not saying that you have to like Kris because he won. I'm not saying any of that, just to be clear.

I'm soooo happy for Kris right now. I'm sure he'll go on with a great career [as will Adam] and I'll be sure to buy your CD K-Sizzle!! x3

p.s. I could expand on this even longer and could write a freaking 20 page report on it, but I thought I would spare you guys.

You've no idea. ZOMG. -breathes-

Ok, so the breakdown. Yeah, I haven't been on in a while, blah blah blah--all boring stuff I don't feel like talking about. xD What I DO want to talk about on the other hand: Kris Allen.

Oh gosh, I type out his name and like my heart gos BEAT BEAT BEAT FAST FAST FAST. -swoons- And his voice. Ohhhhh.
Ok, anyhow. He. Was. Amazing. You can't deny it. I mean really. Perfection at it's greatest. And if he doesn't win it, then I'm going to give Tabor a bath [and he needs one let me tell you...]. Ok, bad example, but you get the point [maybe? hopefully?].

So Adam was good. His normal hyper-active self. And then there was Kris, all humble and adorable and singing his little heart out. x33
I mean really Islie & Co: you just can't resist that aweseomeness. Remember! The first step is denial! xDDD

Oh gosh. I'm so excited and nervous. I voted 424 times tonight for Kris. -deap breath- I think my french teacher voted. xDD Well, she said she wanted Kris to win so I hope she voted... Either way, I think Kris totally deserves to win. Sure, Adam is deserving too, and if Kris was too lose to someone [which he won't mind you!] then it should be Adam. But Kris should win. I just have this really good feeling about it all.

K-SIZZLE FTW!

I've been wanting really bad to get Rascal Flatts tickets because there first stop for the Unstoppable tour will be STL and I'm ooooober excited but tickets aren't on sale yet and it's making me flip because I want them and I don't know when they are going on sale and I really want to know so I can buy them. -takes a breath- June 5th. June 5th. June 5th. -taps fingers-

Oh yeah, SPRING BREAK! WOOO! I have nothing really planned, 'cept for yesterday I hung out with my gramp-izzle. xD It was fun. We went to the Missouri Botanical gardens because 1.)He likes that place, lolz and 2.)we used to go there all the time when I was a kid. So it was fun to see things change or whatever. I dunno. Then afterwards he took me to lunch at this Italian restaurant that is to die for called Zia's. MMM. Goooooood. ;D THen we went back to his house and played Donkey Kong on his forever-old Nintendo. Good times man.

I have a geometry project I need to do. I should do it right now because I have nothing better to do. But I won't being the procrastinator I am. Gosh. But for real, a geometry projact? How lame! Really I just hate math and any related subject to it, so my attitude about it is affecting my grade tremendously. D: That and engineering and bio. I fail.

Ugh. Right now in bio, we're doing evolution and my teacher ticks me off soo much. It's just... ERGHH/. Like he started off with this little "I'm not gonna shove religion down your throat or make you believe in it, but science proves that it's a fact, so it's true." So much for that. I hate him. So much. Like. SDFSDF. I'll just stop.

Enough of that. -.- My other classes are fine for the most part. In English we're doing our Shakespear unit, so we have this creative writing portfolio that is taking a lot of time, but it's fun. OH. In choir, our theme for our Spring concert is THE BEATLES! How awesome is that?! I was so psyched when I heard that! 8DDDD

Oh yeah. I get my permit (plus the new RF CD--WOOOO~) in 13 days! I wouldn't be offended if you decided to stay off the road. xD

Peace out girl scout. :]

I've been thinking about making a blog...? I don't know, I know it would be hard work and yatta yatta, but I think it would be really fun to have one... -shruggs- Comments?

So I uploaded some new pictures of Tabor... We got like 5-6 inches of snow Tuesday and Wednesday so that meant SNOW DAY! :]

I've also started to read "The Girl With No Shadow" which is the sequel to "Chocolat". So far it is really good, and I'm about halfway through. They should really make a movie for it, even though Johnny Depp most likley wouldn't be in it. -sighs- But it'd still be a good movie!

Ok, I'm done.

I'm just sad that it's already over and I have to wait another, uhm..., 360-something days. And heaven knows I'm an impatient person. -snorts-

Every year we travel the wonderful-family-bonding 12 hour trip to go to my grandparent's house up in Pennsylvania. There really isn't much to do up there, so basically we sat in front of the TV and watched MythBusters or whatever else came on the Discovery channel, play games, or I go hide away and read...and sleep. It's pretty boring, but it's good to see my grandparents. On Christmas Day, almost the whole Dad's side of the family came over to said grandparent's house and we ate good food and more good food, and more until I thought it was going to come out of my nose. But it didn't. And we talked and visisted and I slept, and...watched more MythBusters... xD

It's actually quite interesting visiting with my dad's side because they're quite different. But it's fun...sorta. And every year my family gets sick. My brothers and sisters got the bug first, and then my dad. Me and my mom were fine until we got home and last night my mom started to get sick. But so far I'm as healthy as a duck! [If that made sense...].

We actually opened presents before we left for PA, so last Monday, I think. I got a cell phone (WOOT!), books 1-6 of the Original Warriors series, Twilight (the book), Rascal Flatt's Greatest Hits CD, Many DVDs (What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Finding Neverland, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Little Mermaid 3 [xDDDDD]) and then some clothes, fuzzy blue slippers, and a couple gift cards, and other little things. But it was good. ^^ Oh, and my other brother ordered another Johnny Depp DVD but it hasn't come in the mail yet, and he won't tell me, so I'll have to wait til I get that. -rubs hands together excitedly-

Well, that was basically my Christmas. And though I didn't get any candy... -coughISLIEcough- it was good. How was your guyses Christmas?

Woot for snow days!

I thought I had updated my journal recently, but apparently I hadn't, so I thought I would do that.

I can't believe Christmas is almost here, in what like 2 weeks? Not even that. I love the Christmas season so I'm not complaining. ^^ OH! An don Rascal Flatts's "Greatest Hits" album they have Christmas songs that are to die for. Rascal Flatts = love.

Oi. If you aren't in high school yet, thanks the good Lord Almighty, because when you do, you will hate finals with a passion. Like me. They're so aggravating! In almost every class I have a project to do that is worth half my final grade and then an exam. WTH? Whatever. Only 4 more days!


I lost my list of books that I was wanting to read so I was scrounging around the house for books I haven't read and found 2. (I considered myself succesful!) The first was "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis and I'm about halfway through it so far. It's really good, but sometimes it's kind of hard to get into. -shruggs-

The second was "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris. I found this one in my sister's room and, granted, I've only read like the first chapter but I'm already in love with it. Go read it. Right now.

I could go on about things that happened baking cookies, but I'll save that for another journal entry. xD

Anys, I apologize.But that's changing because I am going to finally upload my vacation pictures onto here!

Life's pretty good. I'm finally getting into the hang of all my classes. I'm not saying I like all of them...but they're ok. All except biology because I hate my teacher. Everything he teaches in there goes against all my beliefs and it's all a bunch of bull crap. And we take quizzes every day. But I'll survive I suppose.

Oh, I got this Jack Sparrow puzzle last Christmas that I still haven't finished, so I am going to finish that by the end of this month. ;

I am aslo in the process of reorganizing my room. I am on a roll I swear!

Til another journal entry! -waves-

I've been very inactive on here. I know I promised to put up a bunch of my vacation pictures up like 2 months ago and I never did. I have no idea when I'll put them up...hopefully before I die. xDD

Anys...life's been kinda crazy. School started up again. I'm a freshman now. Woohoo for freshmeat! -rolls eyes- It's okay for the most part. The only class I don't like is Biology because of the teacher and the fact that I'm the only freshman in there. I'll survive though...

Yay for the Olympics! and yay for Michael Phelps! I swear he's one of my new heroes... he's just AMAZING! And another yay for Kerry Walsh and Misty May for beach Volleyball! Ahh, they're all so amazing really. I could watch it all night long, which, mind you, I do. 8D and you should too! -wags finger-

Well, that's bout it for now. Peace out girl scout!

W went westish. And yes, I took a lot of pictures, so expect a lot of activity in my gallery. ^^

Well, I hope you all had an awesome 4th of July! Mine was pretty good...we were at the Grand Canyon at the time. So we just watched the MAssachussettes Pops (I think that's what it was called) and Rascal Flatts performed 2 songs or so, SO that totally made it awesome! 8DD

speaking of which, it's actually 7:13 AM and I am waiting for Rascal Flatts to appear on the "Today" show, and then I"m going back to bed. So really, this blog is just a reason for my boredness. Don't you feel special! hahahahhaha......

Oh, I found out about this "28 Books in 2008" challenge, where you obviously read 28 books in the year 2008, simple enough. And I would've joined except for the fact that it's a little late in the year to be joining... I think I'll join next year...and I started reading the Harry Potter series, didn't really think I would, but here I am. -shruggs-

aha and DeviantART got a new look! I'm not sure I like it yet, but we'll see. ^^

ta!

oh and before I say anything else: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNNY DEPP!
DD

Summer's pretty good so far. I'm taking this photography class with . Today was the first day. it went kinda slow, but I figure it will get better.

This Saturday morning, I'm leaving at 6:00 AM to go to Munsi, Indiana for a mission trip with my church youth group. I'll be gone for about a week or so. I'm pretty excited. Going to World Changer's is always fun. ^^ Most of it will be constuction, but I'm fine with that.

Tabor's getting huger. He now weighs 42 pounds. 0-0 I know right! I can't pick him up anymore. Oh, and we also found out that he's afraid of sewers.. weird dog.

I finally started Dark river too...I'm alittle behind.

ahahaha, I finally got The Little Mermaid 2 disc Special Edition DVD! WOO! SO I'm watching that now, in the background. 8DD

Well, that's pretty much it. Seeya later alligators!

I think Friday was our best show, but they all turned out really good. We did Suessical Jr., which is kind of a play on "Horton HEars a Who" that one movie thing. Yeah. -sighs- But now I'm sad that its over. I'm actually sad my life isn't all consumed by it anymore. -shruggs- I think I mostly miss my crew director, because she was simply awesome.

I think next year when I get to the high school, I'm actually gonna try out for a part instead of just being in the crew. I love the crew, but I want to try the cast... maybe. Then again, I might whimp out and join the crew. xP

La dee da, American Idol, let's see. Carly got kicked off, eh... I kinda saw it coming. I think she's good, but maybe it was time for her to go? There are certainly other people that should have gone before her -coughsJASONCASTROcoughs- -shruggs again-

So my parents are going to the Cardinals game tonight. The Cardinals make me mad. I hope they lose... -mumbles under breath- Can't believe they trade Eckstein...

Tabor just as anoying and bratty as usual. (In the background I can hear my mom complaining about how he took another one of her socks and saying "He's so bad." xDDDD) He's getting so HUGE!!

School is pretty much just school. I'm supposed to be working on my exhibition but I'm not. That is being put on haitus... I need to type a paper for health, do some stupid history and science homework. PLEASE! They send us to school for 7 hours and then they expect us to go home and do like 1-2 more hours of it! I believe we have lives!! ...well, most of us anyways. xD

I really need to work on my FanFiction, I haven't updated my story in a while.

And the weather latley has made me want to kill it. I WANT SUMMER! THe high today was lik 55 or something ridiculous today...-grumbles-

To Do List

• Homework
• Beta Erica’s story
• Walk Tabor…
• Work on FanFic
• Finish watching the POTC3 DVD to make sure it works
• Clean my room and organize it (which could take a while)
• Finish book for Becksters
• Work on movie quotes for Into Depp

...yeah, kinda lame to-do list but whatever. Hee hee...

But I'm nervous... 0-0 Our school musical is tonight, and I'm on the stage crew and stuff and it's opening night. Sure, I'm only in the crew--but STILL!

Oh, American Idol comes on tonight. Ha ha, I hope David A goes! D -hides from fangirls-

I can hear Tabor whining outside... I don't get it. He likes to be outside, but he doesn't like being outside by himself. So he just sits there and whines. Is that normal...? I'll just have to ask that crazy dog-trainer-lady.

Out.

I think I'm going to buy a hearing aid for every person in America, I mean SERIOUSLY! Ugh, I'm dreading watching American Idol tomorrow. -sighs- He was my favorite! He was supposed to win!! Poopers. Poopers. Poopers! I was mad, I'm still mad... I guess, I'll just go for David Cook now... I don't think anyone else on there is really "worthy" of winning, except for David Cook, still, Michael Johns was better. (-coughISLIEcough-)

Anyways! Not much is happening. The musical is next week, and oh. my. gosh. We ain't ready. I mean, I'm only on the crew, but we have a lot of junk to do still... but it'll be fun. Like always. ^^

School's ok. I have a huge project and I have to have all this stuff due Wednesday. whoopdeedooo.. -.-

Oh! I am now a year older(-97 now, ^^) and we moved my compooter up to my room. So, my brothers cant like vandalize it anymore, WOOHOO!

Erm... I think thats it?

Like I'm not crabby or snappy or anything, I just feel like in a downish mood, if that's making any sense. I've been avoiding Neopets and basically all my other sites. This week was my spring break, but I did absolutley nothing.

My brother is coming home, which will hopefully help my moods, but he's coming home for his freaking girlfriend. I've never met her but please, not even coming home from college for his own flesh and blood! -throws grape at his imaginary head- Then again, that'd probably be reason for him to not come home. Hee hee. xD

Anywho, I miss all my guilds, especially my IS and POTC. No one's ever on anymore (including me) and I miss Ashie and Starry a lot. I don't know the last time I really talked to them. They always made me hyper... but I havn't been wanting to get on my guilds for some reason, dont know how long that will last but whatever.

I started reading this Ashley Stockingdale Series, and it's kinda helping because it's Christian novels and such. But not much.

Oh, Trace did not win the Celebrity Apprentice, and that made me want to stranlge Trump. Ha ha. But then Chikeezie or however you spell his name got kicked off American Idol. ^^ So that was good, and Kristy didn't even make the bottom 3! WOOT!

AND! they're coming out with an Italian Job 2! It's gonna be called the Brazilian Job. I don't think it comes out til like 2009 or something though, I don't remember.

Uhm, thats it. Ta

I know, I'm pathetic. It's taking forever to upload all my music and pictures though...

Anywhoo, I went and saw "10,000 B.C." yesterday. It was ok... It was kinda cheesy in some parts and I didn't really like the ending. but it was good I guess.

Ha ha, I almost finished my Jack Sparrow puzzle. xDDDD

Well, good luck! I realized I listen to a lot of different music... xD I think I like number 3 best. So if you know it i'll give you...uhm...some banana cream pie!

School's okay I guess. Recently I've been getting a lot more homework and junk... =/ BUT! I found out that I'll be put in biology next year when I go to High School and I'll also be put in Advanced Communication Arts. So that's very good! ^^ I don't know if I'll be put in Geometry yet or if I'll have to take Algebra 1 again... I hate that teacher and she likes to torture me...>.<

Today I went to the Recreation Complex with school! It was fun! I ice-skated...or more like attempted to. xDD But Brit helped me and then we went swimming. and yeah..it was cool.

ALSO, RASCAL FLATTS IS COMING TO MY CITY! (with Taylor Swift) but the sucky part is that I can't go because the tickets--for good seats--are like $225. Like I or my parent's can afford that...-sighs- This will be the 2nd time I missed them when they came here... but if someone wants to give me $225 I would love you forever.

oh, and Happy Valentines Day!!

Ha ha, the Johnny-Depp-movie-marathon I had last Friday was awesome. ^^ We watched Secret Window, Sleepy Hollow, and Chocolat. They were all absolutley amazing as usual, but I think Johnny should have appeared more in Chocolat... xDD Then everytime someone would start to fall asleep we would spray them with water.

I think I only got 3 hours of sleep that whole day... o.o
Any, I guess life's pretty good. OH, and Islie [] finally got her new Johnny Depp Website up, Into Depp. It's absolutley amazing and you all should definatley go check it out. [link]

Toodles!

]]> ~NoReins22 http://NoReins22.deviantart.com/journal/16433019/ http://NoReins22.deviantart.com/journal/16433019/ Wed, 16 Jan 2008 14:20:30 PST Ok, I've been to practically every Walgreens and Wal-Mart that is within 30 miles of my house, and not one of them had the new Rolling Stones magazine with Johnny Depp!! How messed up is that! -grumbles-

anyway, I'm having a bunch of my close friends over Friday night and we're going to have another Johnny Depp movie marathon. It'll be awesome. I'm not sure which ones we'll watch, but I know for sure Sleepy Hollow and Secret Window and Chocolat. I want to get Cry-Baby, but I would have to have money to get it. xD Anyways, so I'm happy for that. YAY FOR LOTS OF MOUNTAIN DEW!! [Oh, and I can't wait til Islie opens up "Into Depp". xD]

Schools a drag like usual, today was especially long thanks to my choir class with a bunch of retards... I hate that class because of them. and I still hate Algebra, but whats new?

geez I'm starving....

]]> ~NoReins22 http://NoReins22.deviantart.com/journal/16288015/ http://NoReins22.deviantart.com/journal/16288015/ Sun, 06 Jan 2008 14:34:07 PST So I was thinking today, (yeah yeah, don't push it... ) if everyone got what they wanted, what would the world be like? Would it be completley crazy? If one person wanted peace, but the next wanted war, would it even possible--because you can't obviously have them both at the same time. Orrrr, would there even be a point to anything we do? I save up my money to buy that spiffy red camera at Best Buy, but if I already had it, and all the other things I would have saved up for, I wouldn't need to save up for anything. So then, I would just want more and more money to look pretty in my bank account, but if I already had it, plus more...then what?

So what if someone wanted to be someone else? Like, who doesn't want to be Johnny Depp? xD In that case, there would be like, a million Johnny Depp's running around. Crazy right?

Say I wanted all the money in the world, but so does Ms. William's across the street, so who gets all the money in the world. Or do we each get a check for all the money in the world, but just never cash it? We'd still have all the money in the world, right?

Then I want to be the best artist/photographer/etc in the whole world. so what's the point in looking at other peoples work if I'm already the best and the most creative and blah blah blah, so I already have all the perfect designs, there isn't one way to make them better. There wouldn't be a point to all those other people out there who do there fantastic work (and are in fact, much much better than me). AND, I'm sure there are other people out there who want to be THE BEST, therefore it wouldn't be possible for there to make everyone happy and everyone to have what they want, because no one would be the best, and everyone couldn't be the best, because then there wouldn't be one the best, but in fact many the bests so really know one would be the best. (ya followin me?) Or would it be in the mind of the beholder to consider who would be THE best.

One person could want someone else to not want or be something, so that wouldn't happen, but then that person wouldn't have what they wanted. So really, no one would be getting what they wanted.

My conclusion: it wouldn't be possible. I think...

your thoughts?
