......It is what it is.....

We all fuck up sometimes......

2010-10-28T16:57:00.000-07:00

Well guess what my loyal readers......I've done it again! I've found just new wonderful ways to fuck my life up. I'm wondering if maybe its something I've inherited from my family or something, some rich ole' bugger out there want to invest millions of dollars into finding out? Nope, I didn't think so.
   While I sit here in my Inventing Arguments english class writing this when I should most probably be listening to Mrs. Bailey talk about this book we had to read. The Ender's Game, it was a really interesting book an dI'm looking forward to finding the follow-up book. ^_^
So I know all of you are just at the edge of your seats screaming at me to tell you how I have messed up this time.....maybe I've just decided I don't want to tell you. WAIT wait!!!! Come back here and finish reading this blogpost please. I was just joking, I don't want to lose my wonderful readers.
Alright,alrighty so you want to know what the brilliant cheeze-it did this time. Get this......I've ruined my relationship with Nick once again. I'm obviously a major sadist. Wouldn't you agree, I mean I had a wonderful fiance and an amazing life with him ahead of me and I had to not just throw it out the window but I kicked it out of a shut window, shattering the glass which then ripped what ever was left of the relationship to shreds. I'm not proud of my mistakes at all. The guilt from the whole situation almost literally eats me alive every single day. It's worse at night when I'm laying in bed, everyone around me asleep, my insomnia, the memories and his words all around me.......woah, ok back to normal Anastasia who has no normal human feelings.
Hey! Has anyone every realized how extremely hard it is to blog and try to make your words seem like they make sense while your trying to pay attention to the class lesson....hahahahahahaahahaha
I need to end this blog post since I'm sure you can tell my brain just ran away. Time to go write or edit one of my books!!! ^_^
*There is alot that I've left out about what I've been up to lately and my mistakes but I may decide to share it with you later....if someone will message me to remind me first.*
        I love my readers,
                          Anastasia Renee' Gomes

Life throws you curve balls sometimes

2010-08-29T18:52:00.003-07:00

Well you try to plan for everything but you just cant plan for every possible thing that might happen to you. I've recently gotten engaged to Nick. We were at the mall with two of my closest friends Lily and Bethany, looking at some odd skirts at Earthbound when he proposed. :)
Then retardly I was heading somewhere I shouldn't have been going and it was late at night, and I dont know what happened maybe I dozed off for a few seconds or maybe its cuz I was crying too hard and couldn't see the road, but I plowed through two mailboxes while driving my mums van. Needless to say I tried to cover up the truth and ended up in so much damn trouble. A few days later I got into an argument with my mum and got myself kicked out of her house with absolutely nothing but the clothes on my back and those were awfully filthy pjs that I will admit to wearing three nights in a row. I couldnt get anything, no money, no clothes, nothing......except I had my ipod in my pocket cuz thats where it always is, it lives there. And a few days later I got my cellphone. Nicks mom took me to get a week worth of clothes, and bathroom must haves, she spent over $150 on me. :/
    About a week later (which was two weeks ago), I fell extremely ill. Running an extremely high fever that never completely broke, a severe headache that no amount of meds would make it disappear, awful chills and shivering, and vomited a few times too. At one point, not only could I not eat but I couldn't even keep any liquids down either. After being sick for about six days I finally broke down and let Nick take me to the walk-in clinic and it turns out that I had a kidney infection, pyelo is the short name of the exact illness. They said I was so sick that it was close to going septic and that I really should have been sent to the E.R. but instead they decided to give me a shot of antibiotics in the ass (which the meds stung so much. ugh I'm a wimp about needles and pain but especially needles) and give me some antibiotic pills to take over the next week. Well I've been completely back to normal for just a few days now and I'm wondering why I waited so long to go to the docter. Stubborn as a mule, I am.
   Friday I sat around waiting to go hang out with my pal Hayley and just randomly decided RIGHT before I had to head out, that I would redye my hair the burgundy color again. I barely had time to rinse it all out before I left.
    So I get to town at target and waited around for my friend for about 45minutes, then decided to go wait at goodwill. Finally I decided, "Fuck it! I'm not waiting anymore." So I texted a few other friends and got my old pal Cameron to hangout with me. I went and picked him up, and we headed out to the mall in Franklin. Walking around in circles really wore me out that night, once I got home I passed out pretty quickly.
    Why does old drama never really die? Issues involving my ex arose once again. Its all a she said he said he said, Word got through from my ex to two people i used to talk to and the rumors got thru to one of Nick's friends ears and the peace all blew up. I'm just sick of it all, I don't want to hear it anymore, people need to just shutup and actually let me be happy for once.
   This evening my Mum, Mark, and siblings came over for dinner. Me and Nick fixed spaghetti, mini corn dogs, french fries, and fried mushrooms and good lord is was delicious. I'm so glad they were able to come and I'm hoping my siblings will come spend the night with us this weekend.
   I think I'm done explaining about all the curve balls life has been thrown at me lately. If anybody reading this feels bummed out about the curve balls life has thrown at them recently, why not talk to me. I'd really enjoy talking to someone else who feels the same way.
This is a song that cameron shared with me friday, and I'm completely addicted to it so I'll share it with you now:

The Butterfly Project

2010-07-27T20:23:00.000-07:00

I recently heard of an idea called "The Butterfly Project". This is a tool that can be used to help those that suffer with self-injury.

The Rules are:
1. When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker, pen, or sharpies and draw a butterfly on your arm or hand.

2. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better.

3. You must let the butterfly fade naturally. NO scrubbing it off.

4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, you've killed it. If you dont cut, it lives.

5. If you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills all of them.

6. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them.

7. Even if you don't cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. If you do this, name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell them. It could help. =]

But then I got to thinking and I think this should be for more than just the cutters. So I've decided that anytime I need to keep a friend in my thoughts, I will draw a butterfly and name it after them. Good idea, right? I think so.

My pal mitch is quite suicidal :(

and my bestie Lily is just having horrible luck lately with stupid boys.

Well here I go from not posting nearly enough to keep this blog alive to posting for money. Call me a sell-out if you must but I'm starting college in August and I'll take the money anyway I can earn it respectively. Hey you! Yes you! The person on their high horse shaking their head and saying there are many other ways I could earn my money other than selling my blogging....Well you know what I say to you? I say I could earn my money being a stripper or prostitute or by stealing, or even worse! I could sit on my ass and be lazy while mouching off the government's welfare system! *gasp* Did I really just say that? Oh you know I did. Now, what do you snooty-tootie nose upturned readers think of my new blogging for money now? Thats what I thought. :) Well hey, I shall even be nice enough to share the link with you. PayPerPost. And now to confirm that this is my blog to them, I must post this quite weird sentence: The rubber misrepresents an aircraft within an expensive diet. Now I bid thee farewell my dear readers.

life goes on

2010-06-16T03:58:00.000-07:00

The past two weeks has been a living hell for me. Two guys fighting over me and way too much stress. I've come to the realization that I can't keep letting everything get me down. I've gotten pretty darn emo and depressing this week and thats done. I will no longer let this crappy situation get to me. I'm alive so I'm fine!
To help get my mind off of all this I've gone shopping over the past few days and spent way too much for my small budget. And I've found a new website that is greatness: DailyBooth . check it out (:

2010-06-12T07:24:00.000-07:00

I'm behind on my updates and I give up try to catch you up on my life. I've decided to just go with the flow. If I remember to post something new then you get to read my nonsense and if not then you get to find something else to read. yay for realizations and stuff.......

I will however tell you me and Nick broke up about two weeks ago. We are still friends but now I'm with Justin....

im going to prom this year

2010-03-13T23:50:00.000-08:00

So my senior prom is coming up in a few months and up until a few weeks ago i wasn't even sure if I was going to go this year. Well a few days ago Nick was texting me and just kinda out of the blue he asks me if I already have an escort to prom. When I told him no he then asked me if he could escort me and I of course told him yes. Now I've got to go dress shoppping and shoe shopping too. :)

Realization and Deep Thinking.

2010-03-11T06:17:00.000-08:00

In light of recent events that I'd really rather not even talk about right now, I've been thinking. Not just simply thinking but I mean I've been doing some really deep thinking which is quite unusual for me. Coming to the conclusion that I really don't know what to think anymore is just one more frustration to add to the kinda long list right now. To add to that list that I wish I could just burn right now and everything on it would go away and everything could go back to being alright, I have figured something about myself.
I care to much what people say or think. I look for the easiest thing to say to make people shut-up when they start talking about people or things that I don't want to talk about. I'm always listening to what everyone has to say about who I hang with, who I talk to, who I call friends, and I'm not meaning to call anyone with this post but its several people doing it and I'm really sick of it all. I do have a fully functional brain that can think and figure out things on my own, I know i don't always act like my brain is fully functional but trust me it is. I've made my decision and I'm gonna act on what I think. I really don't care what anyone wants to say anymore, this is my life and my friends.

Ranting again

2010-03-09T16:51:00.002-08:00

I can't even remember the last time I wrote up a rant post but here I go ranting once again. You see what I wrote up earlier about this past Saturday wasn't the whole story of what happened. I never told you what happened after I go home, and i probably shouldn't tell you either but by golly it pissed me off pretty good so I think the idiot involved deserves to be called out.
I had a video chat pulled up and I was talking to Jordan, well Will got on to it too and completely uncalled for decided to be a donkey's butt. Will totally cussed Jordan out and was just ridiculous, and I don't blame Jordan for getting pissed and saying a few things back. Later that night Jordan texted me apologizing for the fact that I had to see that kind of language, he was raised up where you don't talk like that in front of ladies.
I'm still extremely pissed at Will, I had asked him to be nice towards my friends and he can't do that. He just doesn't know how to show some respect. All I want is an apology, I don't even expect him to apologize to Jordan (although that would be nice) but i do expect him to apologize to me. Lets face it though, i know I wont ever get that apology and he will just keep pissing me off until I lose my temper.
One more thing that gets my goat. I want to know why when I'm nice this guy I like act like a jerk but when I return the favor and act like a witch, he is all nice and crap. So fed up with some people right now and its not even funny.

Ra-tards and LIYEMS all on a Saturday night.

2010-03-08T19:09:00.003-08:00

So this past Saturday I was really bored and wanted to go see Alice in Wonderland. I didn't want to go by myself and I wasn't about to ask Will if I could join him and who ever he was going with so I posted a status up on my facebook and asked if anyone wanted to join me. A friend that works with my mom messaged me and before I knew it I was at the movie theater watching Alice in Wonderland 3D with Nick.
The movie turned out to be pretty much a sequel to the original Alice in Wonderland. Johny Dep made for an excellent Mad Hatter. The Chestire cat wasn't supposed to be blue, they should have left him the original purple color. All together the movie was awesome and I loved it.
After the movie me and Nick went over to Walmart where we ran into Jordan who practically lives there. It was interesting and I think Jordan and Nick got along well, then Brandon showed up and made things really awkward. Then Jordan and Brandon soon left, but not before driving around the parking like two three year olds driving after each other.
We soon left after them and I finally got home about 1:35am or so. All in all it was a pretty good night. :)

Thank you Matthew Lush for sharing this poem you found.

2010-03-06T11:02:00.003-08:00

If i dont call you
[ Its because im waiting for you to call me ]
When i walk away from you mad
[ Follow me ]
When i stare at your mouth
[ Kiss me ]
When i push you or hit you
[ Grab me and dont let go ]
When i call you and say i cant sleep
[stay on the phone till i go to sleep]
When i start cussing at you
[ Kiss me and tell me you love me ]
When im quiet
[ Ask me whats wrong ]
When i ignore you
[ Give me your attention ]
When i pull away
[ Pull me back ]
When you see me at my worst
[ Tell me im beautiful ]
Then you see me start crying
[ Hold me and tell me everything will be alright ]
When you see me walking
[ Sneak up and hug my waist from behind ]
When im scared
[ Protect me ]
When i lay my head on your shoulder
[ Tilt my head up and kiss me ]
When i grab at your hands
[ Hold mine and play with my fingers ]
When i tease you
[ Tease me back and make me laugh ]
When i dont answer for a long time
[ reassure me that everything is okay ]
When i look at you with doubt
[ Back yourself up ]
When i say that i love you
[ I really do more than you could understand ]
When i bump into you
[ bump into me back and make me laugh ]
When i tell you a secret
[ keep it safe and untold ]
When i look at you in your eyes
[ dont look away until i do ]
When i miss you
[ im hurting inside ]
When you break my heart
[ the pain never really goes away ]
When i say its over
[ i still want you to be mine ]

Wearing My Stupid Bleeding Heart On My Sleeve

2010-03-05T23:52:00.001-08:00

Stop looking at me like that.
Dont give me your sympathy either,
That's the last thing I'll ever want.
And don't act as if you actually care,
cuz I know you really don't.
If I could act differently
you could love me then? No,
I think you've had your mind set from the beginning,
I'll never be anything more than just another friend.
You know I'm falling,
But you wont be here to cath me.
So I'm just left to fall,
Until I finally crash at the bottom.
Tell me my dear,
What should I do now?
Should I give up and just move on,
Or could you really give me a fair fighting chance?
Is that risk of trying really worth the pain of your rejection?
It might kill my poor bleeding heart,
But I'll wear it on my sleeve,
I'll take that risk,
And I'll continue to fall.
Besides, I don't think I have any other choice.

Labor of Love (LoL)

2009-12-26T09:11:00.005-08:00

"Pick up the pieces, let nothing be wasted." ~John 6:12

A desire to serve and a passion for the downtrodden lead 18-year-old Baker Watkins to develop an organization and create and deliver 46 blankets and 36 scarves to the homeless living in “Tent City” in downtown Nashville.

“God always laid in my heart to do something unique,” said Baker.

A few weeks before Christmas, Baker awoke in the middle of the night with the name Labor of Love rattling around in his head. Not understanding what it meant, he fasted and prayed for a week until the answer “birthed itself:” make blankets for the homeless.

A child of the computer age, Baker immediately put the idea on his Facebook page and asked for donations to purchase the materials he needed to make enough blankets to make a difference.

Donations flowed in and within a week, he created enough blankets and scarves to make a difference to a group of homeless men and women. He also collected clothes, coats and shoes, which he delivered along with the blankets. The boxes filled the family’s living room.

Five days before Christmas, the family joined Jeff & Dee Dee Etheridge, who minister to the homeless regularly, and delivered the goods to a more than eager group.

“I don’t know if God planned it that way – but luckily I was paying attention enough to listen to him,” Baker said, adding he couldn’t have accomplished anything without the help of family and friends. “God presented the opportunity; he gave me the name and showed me the need. All I’ve done is be his mouthpiece and hands.”

Making blankets wasn’t really such a strange directive for the teen. Baker has been working with fabric, needle and thread since he was in the third grade and he has a passion for the homeless and downtrodden.

His real interest in sewing began in his early teens when he became fascinated Civil War reenacting. He needed a period coat to participate. Since they were expensive to buy, he bought fabric and hand-sewed his own coat and has been working with textiles ever since.

A year or so later, his sister dropped her much-loved camera. Baker traded his camera for her sewing machine, which she was ever so happy to turn over, and like the tailor Motel Kamzoil in Fiddler on the Roof, sewing took on a whole new fervor.

“I’ve always had a passion for the homeless, the downtrodden – people who are different,” Baker said, adding he identifies with them. With his long hair, piercings and tattoos, “I’ve always been different in the world’s eyes. I don’t look the same. I don’t act the same. I’m looked on as crazy and I’ve come to accept that but so many people don’t.”

Baker learned more about the homeless when, just months into his senior year of high school, he dropped out, got his GED and left home for an internship at a teen recovery home for boys at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles. Although the job didn’t go as well as he hoped, he learned a lot and developed a special love for the dispossessed.

His organization, Labor of Love, will continue to make blankets and scarves and collect food and clothing for the homeless.
“We warm the cold, feed the hungry and love the lonely,” he said.

Information about donating clothing – including undergarments and shoes – candles in jars, backpacks, soap, shampoo, trash bags, food or monetary donations may be found at Baker’s Facebook page LOL/Labor of Loveor by emailing him directly at bakerwatkins@gmail.com or calling 615-260-5426.

“People can help by going through drawers,” said Baker’s sister, Molly. “But please don’t bring your junk. They still deserve to feel they have value.”

A Christmas Surprise!

2009-12-25T21:41:00.002-08:00

Merry Christmas everyone and God bless you and your families! For Christmas all I asked for was a metallica shirt and cd and a pair of converse. Well I got those and a paramore jacket and a cute coat and socks, and a laptop! But most of all, I got a baby brother! My mum's due date was the 11th, but she went two weeks over and had Baby Max today, Christmas morning. He was born at 6:03am, 10lbs, and 21 1/2 inches long. He is such a cute chunky monkey but he has such a loud cry. We went to see him today and its just so hard to think that any of us were ever that small, ot actually smaller. lol

OH CRAP! What do I do now?

2009-11-10T06:19:00.000-08:00

So my family's computer crashed Saturday which left me computerless for National Novel Writing Month and having to use my Wii to update my facebook and blog. Let me just tell you, its a pain in the butt to use unless you have a keyboard for it, which I don't...... Well, I'm just going to have figure out an easier way to do this. HELP MY SANITY PLEASE!!!!!

chicken update

2009-09-20T23:36:00.003-07:00

Since the last time that I posted about our chickens, we have acquired even more. We had 11 up until about a month ago, when my chicken Lunch, died of what I think was a stuck egg. The reamaining ten chickens are on a good sunny day, putting out a grand total of ten eggs a day.
Your probably wondering if any other chickens are as uniquely named as my now dead chicken Lunch. Well a few are not named yet but the others are Sally, Floppy, Chickie, Strawberry, Ring-Leader, and Cadberry. LOl, you decided for yourself if those are odd names or not.

Senior Lake Trip

2009-09-18T14:32:00.000-07:00

The Saturday after VBS the seniors, juniors, and college freshmans went out to Tim's Ford for a beautiful day out on the lake. We all ate great food, had tons of fun with friends, and several people had a little too much lake. lol
Tubing was loads of fun, even with my sunday school teachers daughter Carson flipping me and a friend off of the tube. It was so much fun that I can't wait for our camping trip coming up September 25!!!

I'm sorry that I don't have as many details about the trip as I would usually post but I will work on lengthening up my post over the next few days.

VBS 2009

2009-09-17T18:13:00.004-07:00

Earlier this year, in July, my church had their Vacation Bible School. My siblings were signed up to participate so I volunteered to help My little brother accepted Christ that thursday and when we had a VBS family night, he was baptised.

They had to use the that black barrel cause of the scenery involved in the Vbs Hero's Skits.

My poor forgotten blog.

2009-09-15T23:01:00.002-07:00

I admit that I totally forgot about my blog, I was only recently reminded of it when I got an email saying tha tI had a new comment. I thank you Aaron for posting a comment that eventually got to me and reminded me of my once loved but currently forgotten and completely mistreated blog.
I will set several post up to automatically post everyday for the next week or so until I have caught up on what I've been up to since prom.

To end this post I will just inform you all that we found out that my Mum is having another boy! That makes the boy-girl ratio even now.

Prom!

2009-06-14T11:25:00.002-07:00

Back in May I went to my first prom. It was a homeschool prom and it was tons of fun.

I danced with a group of friends and some guy, I think his name was Alec? Asked me to slow dance with him to the Titanic theme song. I had fun :)

Another sibling!

2009-06-12T11:24:00.002-07:00

My mom is pregnant again! We find out next month if its a girl or boy and its due December 11th.

Twilight Parody

2009-04-01T06:35:00.000-07:00

I am a die-hard Twilight saga fan! I loved the books, but I'll tell you that when I first saw the movie I was a bit disappointed. But I watched it agian and after thinking about it, yes the movie cut out a lot of stuff but it tells the story of the relationship between Bella and Edward perfectly. So all together I liked the movie.
Recently my Mom's friend found this video by Hillywood Show. Its a Twilight Parody, and its quite amazing! They did the casting so amazing and...well, just watch it and see for yourself!

If you liked that one, then you'll like this one. I found it before the movie came out.

The REALLY bored Pretty Rave Girl....

2009-03-30T21:08:00.000-07:00

The only thing I can say is; I was REALLY bored. At least I had fun editing this picture!

an update on my chickens

2009-03-29T21:02:00.000-07:00

Sometime last year my family built a chicken tractor and we bought four hens. Sally, Chickie, Flappy, and Lunch.

Well they are all doing fine and laying some delicious fresh eggs everyday. We usually get 3-4 eggs a day.

Recently we built a second chicken tractor that is a lot easier to move around. That way, during the day we can put them in the new one so they can get fresh grass.

They also enjoy digging around and taking dirt baths.

In the picture above you can see my cat Lucky, who has gotten too curious for his own good. Everytime I mess with the chicken he is always there waiting for a chance to get at them. Tomorrow he will have a water squirt bottle or the water hose waiting for him.

Too many Good-byes all in the same day

2009-03-29T19:32:00.002-07:00

I hate having to say goodbye to my friends. This weekend our neighbors, which by the way are the best neighbors in the world, came back to get the last of their stuff before heading back to their new home. They will be missed, but maybe one day we will be able to come visit their lake house and go pontooning with them!
This morning for Sunday school, my class went to McDonald's. The teachers paid for the whole class, but it was their way of saying bye. They told us they are switching churches, and this morning was their last day at our church. I've been in thier Sunday school class for about five years or so, and I will miss them too.
Good-byes can be good too, I mean now I get new neighbors who I've already met and they seem really nice. Plus I will start going to a different Sunday school class now and meet new people.
Well, I think thats about all I have to say right now, but I'll blog agian soon {hopefully}.

As you can obviously see from this picture; I've been making more felt food toys. I am quite proud of how these turned out! The top one is a slice of watermelon, and the bottom fruit is an apple cut into four pieces.

two amazing websites my mom told me about.

2009-03-28T18:44:00.004-07:00

If you have a blog and are wanting more readers, my mom recently told me one that she uses. I just started using it and I quite enjoy it. Check it out: Alpha Inventions

An early start

2009-03-26T20:47:00.001-07:00

I've been working on Christmas presents for this coming Christmas. Yes, I know its a little too early to start that, but if you know anything about me then you know that I ALWAYS procrastinate EVERYTHING. So if you think about it, now is not too early for me. Surprising enough, I've actually got a good start on my gifts too! Just look for yourselves:

This is a pink and white hat that I made for my little sister who is currently five and ver much loves pink stuff.

I am currently working on a pink scarf that has beads attached to the yarn, it will look so pretty with this hat once its finished.

The next picture is of a bracelet I did. It started out as a scarf but I messed it up somehow so it turned into a bracelet.

Check back soon for pictures of other crafts that I've finished.

Your frickem kidding me, right? Right!

2009-03-25T20:37:00.001-07:00

This is getting pretty weird, at first I didn't really pay any attention to this but then it continues. Last Wednesday, at church, while waiting for the highschool service to begin, I just happened to catch this guy, who looks like a freshman, snapping a picture of me with his phone! When he noticed that I caught him, he put the phone away and flashed this mischievous smile at me. I was just going to drop it, but then Sunday night while playing pingpong with Derik, I noticed the little twerp sitting there staring at us, but mostly me. The whole time we played he sat there.....{but I made a comment to Derik about people who snap pics of people they don;t even know. and the reaction was pretty funny}. And then tonight I noticed the guy and a group of his friends staring at me during service. I'm surprised Derik and Hannah didn't catch it, but maybe I only noticed it because I'm so creeped out by it. Idk? I just wanted to blog about it and get it out of my system. What do ya'll make of this all?

A new form of procrastinating!

2009-03-17T19:30:00.003-07:00

I think I found a new way to procrastinate! You see, my mom told me to go through all of my make-up and get rid of some that I don't ever use. Well I started to actually do it, then I got bored! I then decided to procrastinate by "Painting" my eyes. I used purple and black eyeliner, a light purple eyeshadow with a neonish green eyeshadow around my eyes. Here are some pictures:

2009-03-13T10:25:00.001-07:00

I can't remember if I already did a post about our kitten or not so I decided to do one anyways. Here is a picture of me holding Pearl. She may be cute but she is a pain in the butt when she is in a playful mood.

My Ultimate band shirt!

2009-03-11T20:16:00.003-07:00

I found this plain white V-neck T-shirt in my closet last week, so I decided to do something with it! At first I couldn't decide what, but then I remembered how much I've been wanting one of favorite band's shirts. I decided to paint most of my favorite bands' names on the shirt! I have it mostly finished and it looks pretty sweet, if I do say so myself! Unfortunately my camera is dead and I keep forgeting to charge it up, so you'll have to wait for the pictures.

And of course I can't do a post without posting a song so here you go:

Life

2009-03-06T19:37:00.003-08:00

I figured that I could procrastinate working on my craft projects by posting on my blog. Good idea right? Ok, so procrastinating shouldn't be an idea of mine at all, but it is! So deal with it. :P Anways..... I am currently working on Christmas presents. I have to start early in order to have them all ready for Christmas! Yes, procrastinating is to blame for that too. LOL! I am studying for my ACT also and still editing that novel of mine. I'm really tired so I'll end on a half-decent note and do another post soon! <3

{And add a favorite cover song too}

procrastinating and being lazy

2009-02-28T19:21:00.002-08:00

I have been falling behind on my posting here simply because I haven't felt like blogging about all the drama in my life. It could just be that I'm tired of all the drama, and don't want to have to type about it all over agian. Or it could just be that I don't feel like telling you. Either way, I have decided to let you all know {even though NOBODY reads my blog} that in two hours NanoEdmo starts! So this month I will be studying for my ACT and attempting to do 50 hours of editing my novel. Wish me luck.

What I've been up to...

2009-02-10T19:27:00.002-08:00

What have I been up to? Well, lets see. I had my allergies act up horribly last week and lost my voice for half the week. I also started going to our chirch's sunday night events, which are a lot of fun! I had an interesting converstion with a group of friends about seahorses and something about rainbows. I haven't slept well in two nights and hardly slept more than three hours last night. I had some family visiting us this weekend and go to church with me. And to finally finish this post I will tell you what I have been doing constantly. Yes I have still been listening to music, singing and dancing constantly, but that was not what I was referring to! I was referring to how I haven't been procrastinating too much these past few weeks. I have been writing so much that my poor hand hates me!

If you remember, I bought high lihgts stuff for my birthday, well last week before my mom went to Indiana, she helped me with my hair. Here is the picture.

My retarded stubborn hair

2008-12-15T07:38:00.002-08:00

My hair never does what I want it to. Take these pictures for example. You see how crazy my hair always looks....this is before my new highlights. [Lily, you better not be laughing at these!]

Your memory will live on in our hearts forever

2008-12-14T08:54:00.001-08:00

I am so sorry for not posting lately butsomethings have come up recently that distracted.

Yesterday morning [before 1am] my mom called to inform me that Great Grandma Shirley John had passed away. I can't help but cry, but I am truely happy for her. She is in a better place now and isn't suffering anymore. I usually hide my feelings but I won't deny the fact that this has been a difficult week and another difficult week coming up with the funeral. But I just wanted to thank everyone who has been here for me and my family during this time. I really don't know what else to say other than this last thing. In case anyone wants to send flowers this is the funeral home's website:
G.H.Herrmann Funeral Homes

♥God Bless you all♥

sadness

2008-12-14T08:51:00.003-08:00

[This is an old post that I did on my mom's blog but forgot to post on mine...]

My mom is in Indiana right now because Great Grandma Shirley's health condition became worse. The cancer has wrapped itself around her right lung kind of like a garden hose and is blocking the use of it. She is on breathing machines and having to receive morphine every 5 or 15 minutes. I got to talk to her briefly the other night and she can barely speak. Please pray for her and the rest if our family as well.

I Did it!

2008-12-03T09:46:00.003-08:00

I did it! But you ask what did I do. Well I'll tell you! I have fried my brain to the point where I am almost brain dead. I have used up every single good idea and then some that I had. But why did I do this? Well duh! I finished Nanowrimo! I started a week late and finished with 50,024 words with 30 minutes to spare! I have finally finished the rough draft for my novel!
Now on to the editing part. I am currently editing a piece of the main character's Diary. Once I have finished editing that piece I will post it for everyone to read.

I just want to thank everyone who kept encouraging me on and helping me to keep from giving up. Also thanks to anyone who made it into my book and/or gave me ideas to use!

A much needed new post

2008-11-26T18:56:00.002-08:00

I am sorry to have neglected my blog readers agian, but I have been busy with Nanowrimo. I have four days left and 20,000 words left to do, so I will not be posting for at least another week. But after I am done with Nano, I have around nine post waiting to be writen. Until then you will have to live with this post.
I forgot to mention how I recieved a $20 walmart gift card from Lynn, well I spent it. While me and my mom were out watching Twilight on opening night, we afterwards went to Walmart. I bought two adorable shirts, some highlight stuff [yay], and some other stuff.
Now you didn't really think I would mention the Twilight movie but not give you my opinioon did you? Thats what I thought...and this is what else I thought. I loved the movie, it was awesomeness! My mom who hasn't read the books yet even liked it. I was a bit disappointed about some of my favorite scenes and qoutes being cut out but I still loved it! Also, am I the only who who noticed Stephenie Meyer, the author of Twilight, appeared in the movie? One last thing about Twilight, The baseball scene was my absolute favorite!
Sorry to cut this post short but my novel is calling me, so I have to go!

Twilight

2008-11-20T13:32:00.002-08:00

Agian with my Twilight addiction, but you can partially blame Lynn this time. Lynn gave me the Twilight Soundtrack for my birthday![*round of applause burst forth from my hands*] I love it so much that I decided to post it on my blog. Numbers 1-12 are the official soundtrack, but I added other version of the original 'Bella's Lullaby'. I can't wait for this weekend when I get to see the movie. Alright, give me a minute to snap out of my litttle fantasy world........
O.k. I'm good now. Back to the subject of my birthday. I would like to say thank you to and for:
Mom and Mark for My Twilight Jacket and because you are taking me to see the Twilight movie!
Thanks Lynn for the cd and the card!
Thanks Teri for the 'I rock' shirt!
Thanks to Nana for the webkinz!
Thanks to Lil who has yet to see where she could give me some kind of gift that I told her repeatedly not to get me anything [You stubborn dork]!
And thanks to everyone who called or left me mesges saying Happy birthday!
Now if you will excuse me, I have 30,000word to get caught up on with my Nano novel and my fantasy world is pulling me back in! LOL!

a little busy lately....

2008-11-17T10:39:00.002-08:00

I have been busy lately, so busy that I forgot to do my birthday post! Can you believe this? Anyways, I turned seventeen on november 14! I just got back from the lake house yesterday. I stayed up til 3:02am nov 15 for the Nanowrimo writing dangerously program. I currently am over 18,000 words! Yay, I write up an actualy post when I find time. laters ya'll!

Nanowrimo what? Can i actually do this?

2008-11-06T07:10:00.003-08:00

This month is National Novel Writing Month! Did I hear someone cheer when I said that? Well I should have! My favorite month just got better bucause I signed up for Nanowrimo. Nanowrimo is a website that is full of awesomeness, but once you sign up your goal is that during the month of November you will write 50,000 words, and don't worry about editing or correct spelling until December. They have tons of people doing it and a forum where you can chat with other authors and brainstorm up ideas and.....stuff like that. Check it out, and if you sign up, come back here and click on the link I am about to post below, so you can find my userpage.

{a note to Lily: girl u better sign up! and tell hannah to too!]

I Took Handmade Pledge!

2008-11-04T09:12:00.003-08:00

There is this awesome website that you can get to by clicking the picture above!
It is where people are pledging to give only handmade stuff this Christmas! My mom pledged and I just pledged to. It is an awesome idea that you should think about doing to. Check the website and see if your interested in doing it!

almost forgot

2008-11-04T06:01:00.002-08:00

First let me start by saying the music video for Paramore's new song is awesome! If you scroll to the very bottom of this page you will see it, and it will be there until Nov. 21. Secondly, the Twilight soundtrack came out today and I soooooo want it! Now back to what I originally logged in to write about. I almost forgot to tell everyone about my early birthday gift! I had been wanting Twilight merchandise from Hot Topic for a while. I was wanting one of the shirts also for my Halloween costume, so my parents went to Hot Topic without me, and got me the black 'Cullen Crest' jacket that you see me wearing in the Halloween pictures. It was suppossed to be my birthday gift but I couldn't wait for it so I got it as an early birthday gift!
I love my jacket!

Twilight Saga

2008-11-02T07:11:00.002-08:00

Do I have any readers who love the Twilight Saga? I do! My friends say I am slightly obsessed, but of course I always deny that. If you read my previous post then you know I dressed vampire Bella Cullen for Ween-O-Hall[that is how I say Halloween], and two people actually knew exactly who and what I was! Anyways, I am posting because Nov.3, the music video for Paramore's Decode song which is on the soundtrack, will be playing all over MTV! Then Nov. 4 the soundtrack is released. Then Nov.14 is my 17Th Birthday. Finally Nov.21 The Twilight movie is showing at the movies and you better believe I will be there! Well I got to go to church so I leave you now. As always, thanks for reading!

♥♥♥Team Switzerland Rocks♥♥♥

My Ween-O-Hall costume

2008-11-01T20:24:00.002-07:00

I dressed as Bella Cullen from the Twilight Saga for Ween-O-Hall. My mom took pictures but I became bored before I could post the plain pictures on here so the pictures of me have been 'Picniked'.

Me-Bella Cullen, Mark-Ted the Turlte, Maddy-Flamingo, Marina-Pig, Miles-Dragon

My newest obsessions...

2008-10-28T14:36:00.004-07:00

It all started when I my Mom started crocheting a dish cloth. I watched her start it then begged her to teach me. She did and I made a rainbow color dish cloth, a bracelet, and am now working on a matching scarf to go with the bracelet! But that isn't my only new obsession, oh no! I looked up Etsy.com. I was just browsing thru when I saw felt toy food! It is the most adorable stuff ever. So we bought patterns from someone on there and have started making food. Me and Mom have together made a donut and she made bow-tie noodles. I am currently making an apple, pictures of all the stuff will be posted when ever I rip myself away from the crafts. Until then enjoy these pictures:

I am leaving you know so I can finish my scarf and apple!

Picnik is the bomb

Pickwick Lake

2008-10-24T19:43:00.003-07:00

Today we just got back from a two and a half day visit to see 'Rooroo and Yaya', [Joe and Nita]. We stayed at the lake house, and had fun taking nature walks thru the woods and down to the lake, taking goofy pictures, and I came in 2nd place in a three hour game of monopoly. I managed to remember to take photos this time so here you go, first photos in a while!

The rock ledge on their back porch.

The backyard.

The view from their porch, zoomed in.

The boat dock.

Yaya [Nita].

Me and Mom.

The whole famil was actually caught sitting dowwn together! Now how we didn't bust that sofa, I have no clue.

Mark and Maddy pretending the log is a horse while we were on our nature walk.

Me posing on our nature walk.

Me and Maddy being goofy.

I posed like I was tripping over the log, but by the time Mark took the picture I had managed to trip over the log and he snapped the picture just in time.

The following pictures were taking while we crossed over Pickwick lake on our way home today.

Funny story 1

2008-10-14T12:33:00.001-07:00

A blonde woman boards an airplane. She is extremely exhausted and just wants to take a nap. She finally finds her seat and sits down next to a very curious young man.

He wants to test the whole dumb blonde thing and possibly make some money out of it. "Hey, wanna play a game?" he asks her. "No thank you, i just want to take a nap." "Please, its really easy, all you have to do is answer the questions that i ask you. If you don't know the answer, then you give me five dollars, and if I don't know the answer to your question, then Ill give you five dollars."

"I really don't want to do this. I just want to take a nap."

"Oh but PLEASE pretty please. Okay, how about if I don't know the answer to your question, I'll give you five hundred dollars." The blonde woman became interested and decided to play the game.

"Okay. How many moons does jupiter have?" the young man asked. The woman reached into her purse and took out a five dollar bill. "What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back down with four?".

The young man, determined not to lose, gets out his laptop and searches all over the internet for an answer. Flustered and confused, the young man hand the blonde five hundred dollars.

After a few hours, the young man was itching to know the answer to the question."What was the answer to the riddle?" the blonde woman reached into her purse and handed the young man a five dollar bill.

If you have any sort of brain then you can tell from the title of this post that i am having a pretty rough week. Three days ago i pulled a muscle, or at least i think thats what i did, between my neck and right shoulder, and it still hurts today. Then to add to the pain in my neck, literally, My throat hurts too!!! But i think the cuase behind that is an ear infection, yes thats right my right ear started hurting yesterday......Now how could this get any worse? Well today i had an eye appointment, and i am even more near sighted than last time! But i have to come back this thursday, cuz something about [get this] my RIGHT eye [yes once agian something on my right side!!!] looks weird or something like that. So i have to go in and get my eyes dialated, oh so much fun.....but at least i finally get new glasses. I would rather not have any at all, but since i have to then i am happy to get new ones!!!
Tomorrow I am going to rent a movie that only i want to watch! Can you say FUN!!!!! i will post a review of the movie.
Until then,
~I am Switzerland~

possibly useful time wasted uselessly.....once again!

2008-09-20T19:16:00.003-07:00

I am using time that could be used to do something quite useful! But instead for some untold, unknown reason, i am posting on what is probably the most unpopular blog in the whole world!!! I do have more important things to do than waste my....could be useful time, and yet i will continue to post about my totally weird, abnormal, sometimes frustrating, mostly hilarious to other people than me, life. There is a point to my really random, kinda ridiculous mental rant, and that is that if by some amazing miracle you read this blog frquently and actually like reading [cuz you've never heard of an awesome book series called 'The Twilight Saga' and have nothing better to read] then tell your friend to check it out, and if they like it, tell them to tell other friends!

Ok! Back to randomly typing about my life......um..........ok i need time to organize my thoughts so i will post agian tomorrow!

Indiana

2008-09-11T15:37:00.002-07:00

Last Thursday we went to Indiana! We had tons of fun. We visited most of our family up there. We went to this place called 'Great Times', which has an arcade, go-cart tracks, bumper boats, put-put and really good pizza. And a ball pit for the little kids. I crashed on the speed track and the second time almost collided with two morons who were showing off, Ha ha! It was fun. The put-put course was kinda lame, but oh well.
We also went to the zoo, and missed seeing Jordan Pruitt perform live by an hour. But I got to see the performance on youtube so Its all good now. The Indiana zoo is amazing! We didn't even get to see about half of it and it blew me away. But the dolphin show was a load of garbage, "change a light bulb, breathe fresh air", how more retarded could you be!?!
We went swimming at the hotel and I slept over at my great grandma's house, which is where I got to watch the last 30 minutes of MTV's VMA. Also I beat mom, Great grandma, and Paul 2 out of three games of aggravation, great gma won the third one, then I quit and mom won one.
We finally got back Tuesday morning at 6am.

A much needed updating

2008-09-10T20:37:00.002-07:00

So I started the second blog to use while I edited this one, but now I have almost finished updates and deleting old post enough. So I am going to set up my blog's background and get it all the way up to date! This is back to being my main blog again, but the other one is still up, but is only being kept for 'special occasions'. In the next three days I will post about my trip to Indiana, so keep checking back!

Nashville shores with new song youth

2008-08-06T17:59:00.002-07:00

Last Friday I went to Nashville Shores with New Song Youth. I got a ride up there with Jordan Roe, the youth pastor. The whole day was way fun! I hung with friends, ate pizza, got totally soaked [which is good since we were at a water park], baked the bottom of my feet, and got sun burned only on my legs. How only on my legs, I have NO clue, but it is funny!

[I had written more but then blogger had an outage and it deleted it, and i don't want to type it again so oh well!]

Worship Arts Camp quick review

2008-07-29T20:54:00.001-07:00

Wednesday:
It started out that I couldn't find a ride up to Coolsprings, so I called Jordan who is the youth paster at New Song of SpringHill and he called up Jacqueline's Parents [sorry if I spelt the name wrong] to see if they could give me a ride and they said yes! So at around 4pm we arrived at New song of CoolSprings and I met up with Lily and we both got our folders telling where are classes were and other info. I was taking Worship leading, and Lily took Drama. We soon ate Chick-fil-a for lunch then everyone split into their classes. I learned so much from Kyle, who was the instructor Wednesday, I had no clue just how much work is really put into just one Worship service!

Thursday:
This time I got a ride from Megan and Lauren's parents. We got there and for lunch we ate Lenny's Subs, which so weren't fresh! The yummy chocolate chip cookie was fresher than the sandwich. This day we had Nate Sallie be the instructor!!! He was way cool. He had everyone pick a song to sing and EVERYONE did good, I just kinda missed my ques like......um, two or three times. I just have to say even though he doesn't know about my blog, I have to thank Brad! He was one of the guys who played the guitars for us, and he kept trying to tell me when to start singing and I kept missing it so he actually started singing and I joined in once he started, and if he hadn't of done that I would have choked majorly! So, thank you Brad!

Friday:
We got to the church at 8:30am and were supposed to go to Nashville Shores. We all headed out and on the way we put 'True Vibe' CD in and of course our wonderful youth paster, Jordan Roe, used to be in the band! So we totally rocked out to it! Then Jordan came up behind us at a stop light and we called him while blasting the CD and..it was way funny but it is one of those things you had to be there for it to be funny!!! So anyways after three wrong turns we finally got there but it was pouring down rain. So we stood out there waiting, then everyone started playing football and Frisbee in the rain. The park manajerks said that the rain would not permit them to open the park that day, so we got vouchers and plan on going next ..........[can't give out the date], We all got back to the church and it had stopped raining!!!! You can just imagine how mad we all were, but we soon got over it cuz some people went to Austina's place to hang, some went to the mall but some stayed at the church till their parents/rides came. It was me, Lily, Hannah, Victoria, Macy and for half of the time Chris [and others whom their name doesn't come to mind at the moment], we played signs, improv games, party host, and others....oh and lily and hannah's dad took us to eat mcd's.

Saturday:
We arrive there at 8:30am and it ended at 4:30 pm. All day the instruments and worship leading workshops were together and we learned tons of stuff about the instruments. Then at 6pm the Saturday youth group worship thing went on, but I couldn't stay for it. So while I waited foe my Mom to come pick me up I watched the Drama group practice. Then Everyone, except worship crew who was practicing, and people waiting for rides, went to the mall till 6pm. Well all who were left got into a prayer circle and all of a sudden my phone starts screeching my ring tone, which is the chorus of 'Pressure' by Paramore recorded live from the concert I went to, and I was so embarrassed! They laughed at it... but its all good now! ha ha

pictures are coming soon

fun @ homeschool expo

2008-06-21T20:09:00.002-07:00

Okay so today was the homeschool expo, and usually I hate it cuz of how absolutely mind numbingly boring it is. But this one turned out to be pretty fun! I gave Lily her bday present, a shirt and the Paramore CD she has been dying for. Then after walking around and chatting she had to go get some snackage for her mom at the shell station down the road. While she was gone I met 'Bob' his real name is something like Elston [something like that, I am not quite sure]. Anyways he was extremely fun to chat with.....I won't repeat anything said between me, bob, lily, Micheal, or the other guys who I cant remember their names....But when I left I died laughing st Lily cuz one guy gave her his number and 'Bob' also did! haha, she was like "Do they actually expect me to call them?!" which only made me laugh harder! omg, I am still rolling on the floor laughing still.

Paramore @ Merrel Crawfish Boil 2008

2008-05-19T19:47:00.004-07:00

I have mentioned that I was going to the Crawfish boil to see Paramore. Well I did, and I took Lily. We both had the most amazing time ever!!!!!!!! We were able to get a nice spot in the mosh pit, and were so awesomely close! It is safe to say that I would go to another concert of theirs and coontinue to buy any new cds of theirs! Watch ALL these videos to see just some of the fun we had. I am not able to locate all of the songs played but here are most of them. I will try and post my pictures ASAP!
'Let the Flames Begin' was the opening song.

'Born for This'

'CrushCrushCrush'
value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tBkph97w3_8&hl=en">
'For a Pessimist, I'm pretty Optimistic'

This song, near the end one of the guys does a flip over the other guy while both are still playing their guitars! Just like in the music video! BTW This is my all time favorite song by Paramore! 'Pressure'

'Miracle'

Everyone loved Paramore SOOOOO very much they decided to do an encore song, so here it is! 'Misery Business'

Back at the Barnyard

2008-04-30T19:26:00.002-07:00

My parents found this clip on youtube, and it is so funny so I am posting it for you! The part that says:
"This is a cow farm, your gonna find cows outside!"
My mom can imitate it so close that it is hilarious. Ask Lily she heard her over the phone today!
My favorite part is when he is saying the part about her losing her mind! Lol! watch it now!

Mr. Bumble Bee

2008-04-22T19:17:00.000-07:00

I have an irrational fear of worms and bees!

So when theses three different bees starting swarming me in my red tank top, I reacted as I always do!

It flew up and hovered less then a foot away from my face, and stared at me.

So naturally I acted in the way I always do....I screamed!
