Wanted: Prayers

According to my blog stats there is a dentist that keeps looking at my blog and people from China, The Netherlands and Latvia :/ how they found my blog I'm not sure sooooo hi people I just mentioned. Thanks for finding my blog hahahaha

Anyways,

Today Charlie Pasquale was life flighted to the hospital because of a stroke. She is not doing so well and has been put into surgery. Charlie and her family are amazing people. They are seriously my second family and she is like a sister to me. I look up to her so much and she is such an inspiration so please pray for her and her family. Even if you dont know her or her family, it doesnt matter. Pray anyaways. She needs all the prayers she can get and so does her family.

Life is so precious. Tell the ones you love that you care for them. Hang out with your family and friends whenever you can, dont put off things you want to do and say "oh I'll do it tomorrow." You never know, tomorrow you may have an accident and not be able to do some of the things you enjoy ever again, or ever speak again. You just never know. Give service, try new things and never take what you have for granted or the people in your life for granted because in the blink of an eye everything can change. Live for today and not tomorrow because tomorrow will never get here.

So I will be taking my own advice for a second, please bear with me.

To my family, immediate and extended: I love you guys so much and enjoy all the fun times we have had together. Without you all I have no idea who I would be or where I would be. Thank you for your wonderful examples to me and for my parents, thank you for raising me the way you did. I have learned a lot from you. I love you guys :)

Hannah and Katie: I love you two to pieces and you guys are always there for me. Katie you were the answer to my prayers my senior year. Hannah thanks for always being my friend even when we were little and I was a little brat. I have no idea what I would do without you two.

Austen: I'm not sure if you read this but oh well haha. We have been on quite the rollercoaster together over the past 4 years and I'm so glad we are where we are. You have helped me through a lot and helped me learn a lot about myself. I seriously would not be who I am today if not for you and I'm proud to say that. Thanks for everything :) Love you!

I have so many other people I love and care about so if you arent mentioned dont worry I still love you. I just figure I shouldnt post paragraphs and pictures for all the amazing people in my life cause it would take waaaay too long and take up tons of space.

Thanks for reading, love you all and dont forget to pray for Charlie and her family.

Just a quick update

Just thought I would update on life. Nothing interesting has happened but I figure I need to write about the boring things as well as the fun and exciting things. This semester has been good so far and pretty easy. My ethics and values class is sooo easy! You just show up and he talks and talks about things no one cares about then tells us what to read and to write about it. Being a fairly quick thinker and writer I can whip out his papers in minutes. History is pretty easy too. All I have to do is show up. Thats it. Math is hard haha my teacher talks way too fast and doesnt go over anything. I hate it. So basically I have been teaching math to myself and I'm not doing very well with it lol. English is the same thing as ethics and values. A lot of pointless rambling.

So I want to talk about marriage lol no I am not getting married anytime soon but a lot of people are and they are so young! I cant even imagine getting married right now. I'm 18 and have so much I need to get done before I get married. I just cant believe how many people I went to jr high, high school and elementary school with are getting married. I'm happy for them and all but holy soon.

Another thing I need to ramble about, how many times a day I use the word "I." Its ridiculous! (Princess Diaries rant coming on here) There are billions of people on the planet and for me to focus only on me most of the time is really stupid. I know people who never put themselves first. Ever. They are last which isnt a good thing either but I wish I had that in me to put others before myself more often. I heard something in church a few weeks ago. It was "I am third. Heavenly Father is first, others are second and I am third." I love this quote and have a goal to live by it. So for all of you who I see on a regular basis, when I start talking about myself too much just tell me to shut up. I do is all the time. Heck, I'm doing it now lol. So yeah, I'm going through this weird self improvement period where I pick myself apart and try to change things haha so yeah.

That is all for my ranting and raving that you probably didnt want to read in the first place. If you got through this whole thing I congratulate you and maybe I'll make you cookies.

Here is a picture of a penguin just becaue haha.

To the person who sat in front of me today in math

The person sitting in front of me today was driving me insane and because it was math and I was bored I started writing something to her/about her on my note taking app on my phone. This is what it says...

Dear person sitting in front of me,
You really should stop shaking my desk. You are making it very hard to focus. You are not a dog so there is no reason for you to be shaking your leg repeatedly like a dog sometimes does. My handwriting is awful to begin with and you are making it that much worse. Stop this ridiculous shaking! Does it bring you joy? All its bringing me is frustration. I am considering kicking the bottom of your desk to see how you like it and maybe make the shaking stop. Yes, its that irritating. This class is hard enough without your distractions. Please learn to control the uncontrollable shaking of your leg. I'm sure the person in front of you is not ejoying it either.
Sincerely,
Annoyed and confused math student behind you

If I fall and crash and burn, at least we both know that I tried

"And if I fall and crash and burn, at least we both know that I tried" -Lifehouse

I have been into Lifehouse a ton lately. I've always loved them but I went through a rediscovery of their music recently and it's all I've been listening to. Its ridiculous. This line is from their song Crash and Burn and it is amazing to me. I know a lot of people that have been trying different things and putting themselves out there. To quote Chelsea Vandyke, they have been "taking chances." A lot of these people aren't having much luck with this and all I can think about is the line from this song when I hear about it. "If I fall and crash and burn, at least we both know that I tried." In life trying is all you really can do. If you don't try, then you will never know what could have been. People can't just sit in their bedrooms all day sheltered from the world, they have to put themselves out there and set themselves up for heartbreak and failure or love and triumph. Or a really weird combination of the two. Trying new things and having it result in failure is part of life. At least you tried. One day you can look back and when a child of yours or someone that you know is going through something similar to what you went through it will be easier to help them and you can be that example that its not the end of the world.

Its amazing what I can get out of one line in a song. Music is such a big part of my life and has helped me through times when I felt so alone. If you haven't listened to Lifehouse's album Smoke and Mirrors you need to ASAP! Its one of my favorite albums for sure.

Anyways, now that I'm done rambling about that, lets move on to my life! Life has been pretty boring actually haha. I saw Hannah over the weekend which was good cause I haven't seen her in forever. We played Just Dance 2. Coolest. Game. EVER! I want it badly lol. My classes have been pretty dull. I don't really talk to anyone in any of them and most of my professors just like rambling about crap no one cares about. But its nice to be done everyday by 11 :) Life's just good right now. There was a tad bit of drama yesterday with someone who will remain nameless, no it wasn't Hannah, Katie or Austen so don't worry about that haha, I pretty much lost control and screamed at said nameless person and felt bad about it but she had it comin. She has been driving me crazy for the past month and keeps trying to change my feelings about a certain special someone ;) and I lost it. I am not someone to be messed with. No matter how rude a person can be I can guarantee that I can be 10 times worse. Its one of those qualities of mine that people find difficult to get used to but once you do, I will protect you to the end. Well I should be doing homework so I think that's what I'll go do now. Thanks for reading about my boring life lol.

and sorry this is so long lol

New Semester and Weird People

Today was the beginning of a new semester! I only had two classes today. Wednesdays seem to work out well for me! Today I saw so many strange people. While driving to school I saw a guy from my ward. He missed the bus and was walking back home while talking to himself.

I got to school and went to my first class which is my philosphy class and my teacher looks like David Bowie and he looooves to hear himself talk.

After leaving my class I saw someone dressed in a Harry Potter robe just walking around. He was pretty epic but it was till weird haha.

I got to my second class which is history and I'm pretty sure my teacher is gay. Either that or he is really really feminine. Hes pretty funny actually. In class a girl came and sat down next to me and began to color some strange anime people she then proceeded to compliment my bracelet and asked me where I got it. The bracelet I am wearing Austen gave to me. She then complimented his taste in jewelry.

After school was over I went home and my cat was jumping around like crazy! My mom and I then decided to run some errands.

While we were driving we saw a car with a huge full bag of garbage on top of it. The driver was acting like nothing was wrong. A little ways down the road we found a full trashbag sitting in the middle of the street.

Later, we saw a guy dressed in complete brown, a funny hat and really big glasses waving and talking to the ground.

After we were done shopping for randomness we had to go pick my brother up from school. While leaving the school we saw a guy wearing a knights helmet.

Is it a full moon or something? If today is any sign of how this next semester is gonna go I can honestly say I'm excited.

New year!

Holy 2011! I still cant believe it! This year went by so fast and it was probably one of the best years I have had in a really long time. Even with the heartache and sadness I experienced there was a lot of good and there was so much of it that it makes me forget about the bad. I made some amazing friends, became closer to God, reconnected with some old friends and had a lot of firsts and a lot of lasts. The last few months of the year were kind of like a jump rope, up, down, up down etc. (yes this is from a song hahaha). I am so thankful to all the wonderful people I have in my life that made this last year so much fun. Thank you for all you have taught me, for being there for me through the hard times and just listening to my annoying, pointless rambling.

Life has been good! New Years Eve was pretty darn fun. I spent it with Austen, Craig and Katie. We went and saw Tron where I heard my new current song obession. Seperate Ways by Journey. If you havent heard this song, you have not lived. Oh my amazingness. Anyways, after the movie we went to Texas Roadhouse. There were some...interesting people there. And we saw Summer! (the person haha) It was fun to see her since I havent really seen anyone from high school since graduation (this is probably a good thing). After the funness of dinner we went to Katies house and watched Rocket Man. Before we went there Katie and I had an epic lightsaber battle with her ipod and my new phone. Oh my fun. Then it was midnight! Helllloooo 2011!

Since it is a new year I have decided to make new years resolutions! Here are a few of them

• Make more friends
• Do things I wouldnt normally
• Take chances
• Get good grades
• Read scriptures daily
• Become closer to Heavenly Father
• and other stuff I cant tell you hahahaha

I have pictures but I havent put them on my computer yet so I'll get those up as soon as I can. If 2011 is even half as good as 2010 was, I'll be a happy girl :) Have an awesome year everyone!
