like chea!

so me and miss julie went to mcdonalds for ice cream earlier =] i LOVE mcdonalds ice cream, i'll have to add that to my list lol. we just chilled there for a while and talked about random things, whatever we were thinking about at the time. it was fun =] and i learned that we have something in common: we both like to people watch =] another thing to add to my list!

so now im just here, talkin to kevin. were counting down minutes lol. it'll be 7 months soon!! yay =] and my knee hurts =/ i dont know why or how though, it feels like there's a bruise but there isn't one....i think theres a bump though...idk.

river on video!

so we had my mom's surprise party this past saturday! it was fun =] mike took her out of the house and my aunt came over and my brother and rachel and my grandma and pa and we all helped get everything ready. we took the little couch out of the living room and pushed the big couch up against the glass stuff and we decorated the living room like Viva Las Vegas! me and my brother dressed up and dealt (i did Black Jack and he did Texas Hold'em). and my uncle jake and aunt denise were there too. and my uncle john dressed up as elvis and sang 4 songs. and yea it was neat. i think she had a good time. and she got some cool stuff for presents =] rachel gave her pictures of all her kids. she took the 5 of us to get our pictures taken at walmart a few weeks ago and they turned out pretty cool! i like them =] and so did my mom lol. so yea, i hope she had a good birthday =] i've got a little bag of stuff to keep from the party, like the invitation and stuff =]

so there's this song called Come Home by OneRepublic, and i really love that song! every time i listen to it, i think of this one slash story i read. the story had the song in it ,that's actually where i first "heard" the song. so i decided to look up the real thing and i thought it was really cool so i bought it =] and i love it now lol. if you wanna read the story ( cuz its really good and you should!) here's the link: http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2534189/1/Swing_Sets

and then Kevin listens to this one band, We the Kings, and he listens to the song Check Yes Juliet alot, and so i thought i'd check it out and see what it was. well guess what? its a GOOD song! like chea...it's been stuck in my head all day lol

and guess what? i'm OFFICIALLY in 12th grade!! well sorta. when we go back to school i will be. i just finished the last day of 11th grade so yea =] exciting, yet scary. i'm not sure what i want to do yet and i think i really should know by now. i don't even know if i want to go to college, which means i know nothing about college. so yea...we'll see how well that goes

my mom got a dog on friday. his name is sammy and he is like pitch black. ive been trying to take a picture of him but you can never see his face. so i tried to do a video but he was just sitting there chewing on his rawhide so i didn't keep it. but when i get something, i'll post it so yall can see him. i've been taking him for small walks each day, just around the block. since he's so little i dont know how far he can go. he starts to pant pretty quick so we're not gone too long. but in the few days that we've been going he's learned that he needs to stay to the right of me. and i'm trying to teach him to sit. it's going ok i guess lol

kevin came over yesterday and today after school, and both times he stayed for about an hour =] that makes me happy cuz i love bein with him. he's so great =] i love him lol hes cwazy and hes also a chickenholic! lol

but anyways, lol....not much else has been going on. mea nd miss julie are supposed to go get ice cream later tonight and just talk and hang out and it should be fun =]

but thats it, lol, so later

sleepless nights

so i couldnt sleep last night. i was talking to kevin for a while but he had to get up early for ROTC, so he went to bed. i tried to go to bed, but that wasnt happening. so i got up and read lol. im almost done with that book already. i actually dreamt about it too (somewhat) when i finaly did go to sleep! but anyways, it was like 3 30 or something when i actually went to bed, but i realized what the problem was then. it was too quiet. i had been quiet all day and i hadn't really been around any noise either. so i turned my ipod up really loud and fell asleep to that =D it was really comforting really, relaxing to hear noise. you get tired of the silence after a while.

so i put my sheets in the wash earlier, and after i take a shower ima put all my towels and rags in the wash too. that way when i come back, everything will be clean! =]

tink left this morning =[[ at least i KNOW she went to a good home. Ammie took her and shes going to give her to her aunt, beause theywere talking yesterday and her aunt said she wanted a kitten. so Ammie messaged me and asked if we still had kittens, so yea. she took Tink this morning....i said goodbye to her on Sunday night because i had a feeling she would be leaving soon. i guess its not as hard to saygoodbye when you arent there when they leave, but im still going to miss her.

anyways, i have to go add another thread to my random crap space =] lol so see ya later

Call and Response

a couple of ppl posted this link on myspace, and it's really important. check it out. whatwill you do?

http://www. callandresponse. com/

new pics are up

This is Albino














This is Cerulean














And this is Pepper
















Sadly, I never got a picture of Salt, may she rest in peace...

so i went to the library earlier and dropped off my books and i've been craving chocolate so i went to walmart and got some. yay, a chocolate fix =]

my dad is really loving and caring =] he came home today and i was in my room sleeping off and on, and he came and checked on me cuz mayme said that she hadn't seen me all day (there's a reason for that) and he just thought hed check on me since he was home. he always checks on mayme too. so yea, just thought id share that lol

i'm about one third of the way through the sequel to twilight, new moon. its really good =] i finished the window earlier and started new moon today. thats really all ive done today is read and sleep. but im ok with that.

i SHOULD study...but i can never find any motivation to do it....whats the point? im not going to remember the words anyway. yea, i know i need to do it for the GED but i'm pretty sure that i can do pretty good on the test, especially if it's mulitple choice and/or gives some context. so again...i dont see the point of doing it.

but i did do one of the journal entries. now i just gotta do the other one before wednesday.

anyway, im about done on here so talk to yall later

dont be discouraged

i know i havnt written in a little while, but there's really not that much to talk about...yet at the same time there's so much...

i've been reading alot latley. getting lost in the lives of other ppl. the last book i read was about a blind girl and the history of her family. sounds boring, but it's really not. really interesting actually.
ima go back to the library tonight, and even though i havent read all my books yet, im going to return them all so i can finish reading the twilight series. my mom bought all 4 books.

on saturday, me and my mom and mike were talking about some things, alot of things really, and mike said something that made me feel really good inside. made me feel like im doing a good job even when im not exactly sure what im doing. he said that my christianity is an example to him and that im not one to flaunt it, and if i do flaunt it i back it up. he said that most christians say one thing and do another, but that im not like that either. its really important tot me...even though right now i dont have the strongest faith, i still want to be a good example in everything i do, and when said that i was like at the highest point that i could be, because he isnt a christian yet and he said that i was being an example to him, and it was just really uplifting. it makes me want to try even harder to find the faith that ive been looking for.

and i guess that about it really...for now anyways.

rant about cooking

ok, so what is it with people dissing women that don't cook? i've been told that if a women can't cook, then she shouldn't be considered a women, and i've been told that if I personally don't cook, then im going to make a lousy house wife. whats up with that?? just because i don't cook (and i don't because i don't like to) doesn't make me any less of a women or a wife. in my opinion, the cooking (and cleaning and all the other housework for that matter) should be left for the husband and wife to decide who does it. personally, i think that when i get married, me and my husband will share that job. no, i don't like to cook, but i also don't think it's fair to make him do it all the time either. i can cook if i want to. and people shouldn't judge others based on stereotypical facts.

peace out

so i got back from my outing not too long away. i went to the library first and got my card renewed and i was there for a couple hours. i looked for the next book in the twilight series but the only one they had was Eclipse. so i read this other book instead (by read i mean i finished it at the library). it was about an illegal affair between a teacher and a student. it was good =] and then i got some other books too!

so i left there about 7:50 and went to petsmart. i was gonna buy a snail, but the lady said that the betas sometimes eat the snails =/ so i didnt. i got two other betas instead =] a bluer one namedCerulean and a white one named Albino. so now i have 3 fishies!! =] yay me lol

so me and my dad are gonna go to the store tomorrow night. and thats about it really. so yea. im eating and playing pogo so lata foo!

R.I.P. Salt

awww, poor Salt. my fishie died today. i'm not exactly sure how since she was alive just last night. but i hadn't seen her at all this morning so i thought i'd look for her and i found her dead underneath the tank filter =( rest in peace salt.

Crazy Funky Junky Hat

this is my crazy little sister doing the crazy funky junky hat song =]

playful and sleepy

so this is Tink playing with one of her toys (it has been passed down from like all of my cats and they all LOVE it!) and if you watch closely in the background, you can see River falling asleep in the foodbowl >.<

tired

so yesterday was Christians party and it went really well =] it was actually prollly one of the best saturday's ive had in a long time. we played games, ate tacos that my mom made, and Christian opened all his presents and after the kids went to ed we stayed up and playeed games. it was cool =]

so christian actually got alot of stuff for gettin a DS for his birthday. he got 5 games i think, some TMNT toys, a couple movies, some money, a big search and find color book, lots of clothes, and a few other things. he made out lol . he didn't realy act too excited about the DS but we all knew he was just holding it in. hes been wanting one and everything and thats been the main thing hes been playing with since yesterday. so he was happy with it =] he won't actually be 7 until the 16th tho.

and i found this out like one or two weeks ago, but kevin isnt moving to saganaw!!! =D they are still moving, but it's gonna be somewhere around this area, and they will be staying here until he graduates =] thats like soooo awesome!! i'm really happy about that

we started a new series about dating in Xcelerate, and i liked it alot mroe than i thought i would today. i think the reason is that we broke up into 2 smaller groups rather than being one big group. and it goes faster and you get to say more of what you want to say and stuff, and i didn't feel so much like an outsider, so that was really cool =]

and i guess that's about it really. well not really, but i dont wanna go into all the small details so yea. anyways, later

100th anniversary

yay!!! we've reached 100 posts!! lets celebrate ;)

at the movies

so i got home from the movies a little while ago. i went with kevin and his mom and paul. it was cool! mainly cuz i got to see my baby today and hang out with him for a few hours =] but the movie was good too. sooooo much better than the mummy lol. we saw Bangkok (sp?) Dangerous. there really wasn't a whole lot of talking in the movie either, mainly just watching and figuring out what's going on. but yea, it was cool. we went to the movie tavern so me and kevin shared a cheese pizza. it was alright. i liked it better than most things ive gotten at the movie tavern, so yea. and when he ordered it the waitress was like "you want the kids meal?" lol, i found that hilarious =]] and then we had a coke each, and the cokes each had two straws!! that amused me =] lol. usually when we're out with his mom we end up going to walmart before they take me home, but we didn't tonight so he was like "wow, this is the first time i've been out with amber and we haven't gone to walmart!" haha. yup yup, he's awesome and i love him sooo much!! =]

fluffy cheerful kittens

awwww, velvet and rose just left us =( the lady that took them seemed really nice though, so i'm sure they're going to a good home. we tried to get her to take all three, but no, she only wanted two, so poor tink is gonna have to be completley seperated from her family =( unless i can convince my mom to let us keep her, but that's kinda doubtful. i almost cried when they left...still am about to really, but yea. i'll miss them

but on the brighter side of things, the lady that came this morning for babysitting seemed really nice too! i really liked her =] her son, Carson, is only 3 weeks old and she said she's pretty sure that she's gonna start bringing him here while she's at work, so that's good =]

me and kevin and his mom might go see a movie tonight. he said that she wants to, she's just not sure what time yet. so hopefully i can go. and christian's b-day party is tomorrow! he's pretty excited =]

but yea, i got stuff to do so ill talk atcha laters

another video of the kittens

relief is bliss

so i've gotten some things done within the past few days that have been kinda weighin on my chest, and i feel alot better! i feel relieved to have them done, whatever those things may have been. and yea, there's still some things there that i can't nessecarily fix, but im just hoping that those will get better in time. (that's a song by Leona Lewis....)

on soem other sad news...this lady is supposed to be coming to get two of the kittens tomorrow =( i don't want them to leave....it'll be another sad time

we also have a lady coming over early tomorrow to talk to mom about babysitting. her kid is 3 weeks old =] so that might be fun

so kevin had his other surgery earlier today. hopefully, they wont have to take him under again, but they're trying to make sure all the infection is out and stuff, so yea. poor guy....he doesn't like it at all. but i keep tellin him that it's supposed to make him better.

and yea, i think thats about it for now. so see ya

a few favorites

im listeneing to one of my favorite songs right now =] "Wishes" by Sperchic[k] a couple other favorites are:
Come Home: One Republic
Courage: Superchic[k]
Paul Revere: Beastie Boys
When in Doubt: TFK

its been a while

so i had a pretty good weekend. saturday i was supposed to go to the church for "That Thing On Saturday" but it got cancelled, so instead, me and my little sibs and my mom and mike and aunt hung out all day. first we went to denny's, then we went to gamestop and cato's, and then we went to see Kung Fu Panda (cute movie!) and after that we went to the mall. and oh yea, my mom and aunt got me carrying a bag now. not a purse. i dont carry purses. but a bag. its different. but i dont hate it or anything.

anyways, yesterday me and mike went to Six Flags, fun fun =] we are so spoiled lol. we're used to going when there's hardly anyone there, so there could be like 4 people in line ahead of us and we'd be like, man we gotta wait. lol. but it was fun. we went on the titan 3 times, the giant once (the roughest ride at the park!), the shockwave 3 times, mr freeze once, batman once, aquaman 4 times, the acme rocket once....and i think that's it. and we also went up to the top of the really tall tower thing, i'd never been up there before so it was cool. we had fun =]

so that was my weekend. i ended up not going to my dads this week, but i should be going next week. this weekend is my lil brother's b-day party. he's going to be 7 on the 16th =] he's getting a DS. hes gonna be excited about that

but i dont know, there's been alot on my mind latley, seems like there's alot of thigns going on right now, some good and some not so good. but yea. i really dont wanna say anything else so talk to you later

check out these cuties!

so here are the kittens in video form!! the very first kitten you see is Tink. the one that you can barley see eating in the food bowl is Velvet. The one with it's back to the camera is River (the one we're going to keep) and the other one is Rose. aren't they adorable! i love them =]

self-control

so. theres kind of alot i gotta say right now. unfortunatley, i prolly wont remember all of it =/
but my sister really liked her fish =] hes really cool looking and mainly blue, so she named him Indigo. and i decided that i would give one of the tmnt guys to the boys now, and give them each one of their birthdays, so they were pretty excited about getting it

so...something i learned from this past "fasting" is that if you tell yourself not to do soemthing, then you can do it. it's not really that hard. yea, sometimes it will be, but those are the times you have to persevere. so in that case...if you can tell yourself NOT to do something, and succeed, then you can also tell yourself to do something, and succeed in that as well. it's all about sticking with it.

i made this "picture scripture" (lol...ima start calling it that now =]) last night about the fruits of the spirits! i drew this tree and labeled the tree as Spirit and then put all the fruits on the tree like they were growing on it. I thought it was cute lol. i really like my tree too. i colored it green adn brown (like duh!). but the verse is Galations 5:22-23 if you wanna look it up

oh yea! i made this new haiku last night when i was in bed (cuz i couldn't sleep so i was thinking lol) and i think im going to call it Immoral Feeding but i'm not sure yet. but i'll have to type it up and put it on fictionpress and get some peeps to review it! lol

and i got a 95 on my test yesterday, yay! better than i was expecting so that's good...i really should study more....but studying = ennui =] lol. my teacher (mom) will get that one.

the kittens have gotten so big since like 2 days ago!! like omg! they are huge now! well not really huge but alot bigger than they were lol. my babies are growing up

theres this thing on saturday that i might go to at the church, it's supposed to be pretty fun. so yea. it's from 3-8 and we're all just gonna meet at the church and hangg out and play games and stuff. i think i wanna go.

speaking of church, i was showing my license to all my friends yesterday lol. aly, mike, miss amy, kevin (he saw it first). they all thought it was pretty coool. and thomas walked with us when we came home from church. he kinda got on my nerves a little bit tho. oh well. boys lol (no offense baby)

yea. i think thats's it. ill prolly think of more stuff i should have added later, so ill just add it later lol. so...later

slight change

ok, i just realized that i HAVE to get on tomorrow because i have to get my school and stuff off of it. so i'm changing my fasting rules just a little bit. the only reason im going to get on tomorrow is because of school, other than that, i won't be on.

gatorade

so i got back from walmart a little while ago. i got christian and brandon some ninja turtles stuff but i don't know if it's gonna be for birthdays or christmas or what yet. i'll have to figure that out later. and i also got brianna this High School Musical chapter book, and i'll get her her fish in a little while. and then i got them all some Double Bubble gum to share just because.

next week ima go to the library and renew my card and stuff so i can hang out there after my dad gets home from work =] i like the fact that ima be able to go places just because now lol.

i'm now a level 5 vampire! and i got gary to join my clan too =] yay! i haven't updated kevin's vampire yet, but im planning to do that after this. i think he's a level 3 right now...i dont know, i dont rememer.

but anyways, poor kevin =( hes gotta have surgery again on friday because the infection that he got when he had surgery the first time hasn't gone away. they told him a while back that if it didn't get better on it's own they were gonna have to take him back under so they could drain it or whatever, so that's what theyre gonna do friday, at 10.

and i won;t be on at all tomorrow. ima do the fasting self control thing again, which is gonna be really hard this time because i've got alot of stuff goin on right now in my computer world....but it's gonna help me learn self-control, which i think i need...so yea. so oncce again, it's gonna be from midnight tonight to midnight the next night....if that made sense lol.

i've also thought about fasting from the tv but i don't really know how i would do that since the tv is usually always on in the living room. but i guess i could alter that one a little bit...idk. for right now, it's the computer. so yea.

um...that's it really. other than the fact that it's really hot right now =/

CrimsonTears

so i got my picture ID yesterday!! yay! i don't really like the picture tho =/ oh well. i'll get a new one on my birthday lol, cuz yea, that's when it expires

so far, me and dad have won 3 games of spades, making it 4 total (cuz i won one and whooped them bad!). and then i started a whole bunch of other badges, like hog heaven slots (completed) tumble bees (working on it) and ride the tide(working on it) and stuff like that.

oh! and on myspace, i became a vampire! muahahahaha...and then i turned kevin into a vampire too lol. my vampire name is CrimsonTears and his is dracula. i'm taking care of both of them cuz i asked him if i could do his and he said yes lol, so i am =] i'm a level 3 right now and he's a level 2. we both have a minion that gives us 100 blood every hour! and there's all these different abilities that we can have. i've got 10 fangs, 2 vampiric claws, enhanced senses, animalistic frenzy, superhuman strength, and mind control. hes got 8 fangs and 1 vampiric claw (i started mine last night and his this morning, so yea) and we're the only two people in my clan so far, so i need yall in my clan!! so join me! please? lol

yea...so later (hopefully) i'm gonna go to walmart and get a few things for me and my dad and then after that, when we leave, ima stop by petsmart and get my sister a beta. and that's really about it for now, so i guess i'll see yall later =]

bye

nm

so i pretty much slept all day =/ after i came to my dads, he helped me get a couple games won in Spades on pogo.com and then he went to bed. and i was feelin pretty tired so i went to bed....for like 5 hours...so we'll see if i can sleep tonight.

i just uploaded a bunch of pics to my myspace, so go check 'em out! and that's really about it

kevin's at his uncle's today. haven't talked to him too much today (guess not since i was asleep all day riht?) but yea lol. i love him =]
