Spring Break as of Now.

Powdered Orange Juice isn't as appealing as it may sound.
Actually, it doesn't even sound appealing.
But when you are tired and need a thrist to be quenched, it does the job.

So it's spring break.
It has been for a few days, and it's not so bad.
Except for I have done almost nothing all week. Maybe that is what spring break is all about, relaxing, but I have a feeling I should be doing something productive.
Which is why I created my spring break goals list. Which, I will not post on here since, 
1. I don't want to look it up in my pages files
2. My friends have a tendancy to copy what I do, and it makes me mad.
That last one sounded a little rude, but hey, it's true.

I hate bangs. Really, I do. They are so cute and I am pretty good at perfecting them on certain days, but they are ALWAYS in my face. And when I brush them back, BAM, they fall right back into place covering my eyes.

I went to the mall today. I don't really like the mall. I know I am a girl, and it is my job to enjoy the mall, but I just don't really. But it was nice today. There was almost no one there since we went right when it opened, and it was a quick process. Brooke made me laugh though when she was texting me all of her American Eagle knowledge, and I told her she needed a life, and she was like, "I just thought it would be cool if we unknowingly bought the same items of clothing."
I really hate sales people, though. Especially the ones who follow you to the dressing room and ask you how everything is going. I know it's their job, but I just don't like that.

I was considering staying up for like 3 days during break, just to see if I could.
But then I remembered I am helping re-build a church starting Wednesday, so I don't think falling asleep on the job is a great idea.
Maybe some good sleep is what I need.

There is odor eliminating Arm & Hammer on my table.

My back hurts, probably because I have been slumped over the computer all break. This is not the way I wanted to spend my 10 days of freedom.

I would love to go to one of The Format's concerts.
Them, Rilo Kiley, and Feist. Perfection.

I wish I had more candles. They smell so good. Last time I had a candle in my room it set off the fire alarm. Smooth, real smooth. 

I went to the gym today for the first time in a while. It was exactly what I needed. I was in such a crappy mood all day, and as soon as I stepped on the elyptical, I was refreshed. Granted, my hair looked like crap, I had no makeup on, and my sweats looked bad, but I felt great. I didn't have time to do anything besides cardio, but it was wonderful. Back to the gym tomorrow.

I am a big water drinker.
I just love-me-some-H20.
Well, this week I have been drinking a lot more water than usual. Which is good, right?
WRONG.
So, the more water I drink, the more I have to go to the bathroom, which is super annoying.
And the more I go to the bathroom, the more I wash my hands. And now I have ultra dry hands from over-washing. AGAIN.
Which sucks. 
Maybe I will cut back on the aqua this week.

So, Chelsey and Blake both talked to me about going out with the same boy in one day randomly, haha.
And I am friends with him and all, but wow, I don't think I would date him.
Although he did fit into almost everyone of my requirments for a boyfriend, as Chelsey pointed out.
He is a great friend, but I really doubt he would make a good boyfriend. At least not for me.
But I am open to all options, seeing as being picky has gotten me nowhere as far as dating.
I just don't think I like like anyone right now. Eh, who knows what will happen in the future.

I really have the craving so go camping right now. I just want to be in nature. Prefferably in a sunny camping spot. I do not want to wait until summer to go. That is so freaking far away.

I have something in my eye, and it is bugging the crap out of me.

Well, I am freezing, and tired, and I could use some sleep, so I think I will stop rambling on here. Or maybe I will go play some Super Smash Bros Brawl on the Wii. 
Keep enjoying your spring break.
:)

Ah, Long Weekends.

Got to Love 'Em.
I feel like it is almost Sunday...but oh wait.
IT'S NOT.

It's almost 2 am, and I should sleep because I am tired,
but I think spilling out my thoughts onto the internet when I am half awake is a much better idea.
I think we are all more honest when we are tired.
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all of us a little more honest when we are too tired to say anything politically correct, or something we think we should say?
That sounded pretty deep in my head, but I'm sure it sounds dumb when you read it.
Enough mind talk.

Wow my dog is cute.
She keeps making noises and I don't really know what to do haha
There she goes again.

Listen to the song, "Touch my Body" by Mariah Carey.
I know, I know, I hate her. For the most part, but this song is so relaxing.
I love it.
Even though her myspace only plays a sample of it, so I just keep pushing the play button haha

Video Games are like crack, I swear.
My arm is killing me from Rockband. Sara and Sam have blisters from drums.
It's intense.
Oooh Janelle and Sam got to drive with Sara and I today! That almost never happens it was awesome.

Have I ever mentioned that I have the best parents EVER?
Seriously.
Okay, so today my parents were following us kids home in the car behind us, 
and they called to say they were stopping off at Fred Meyers.
So us kids went home, and then they came back a while later, and they bought us ice cream, popsicles, and a cake for like a pre-easter cake.
JUST BECAUSE. It was so random and awesome.
And yesterday when Sam, Janelle, and Joey came over my mom made them all Easter Baskets.
I seriously love my parents.

My throat.
Man, I hate it. I always get some throat problem. The doctor said getting my tonsils and adnoids out would help . Liar.
It is being so weird lately.
I know I don't have strep, but I'm still blaming Izzie.
It's much easier to blame someone for a sickness when you know they have a greencard.
Haha she is going to kill me for that.

I can finally feel my arms again. I took a much needed break from the gym. Too bad it will start all over again when I go back tomorrow.
I need to become a runner. I hear all this good stuff about it, and I just don't understand why it is so fun, but I'm sure if I did it more, I might like it. I love cardio work, just not running.
The new nikes I just bought might helo, though.
They are seriously like the coolest shoes ever.

I have noticed how often I say, "like" and "totally". 
It's habit, not dumbness. I promise I am educated.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when girls act ditzy to get attention from guys. It is seriously pathetic.
I would rather use my brain than my boobs. (Which probably aren't even big enough to flaunt haha)

Speaking of guys.
Is it so hard to get someone to like you?
Apparently, since I cannot remember the last time someone said, "Hey...want to see a movie?" or "So...I like you."
Single life is cool and all, but a boyfriend would defiantly be nice.
So fellahs, step up your game.

Can a tonsil grow back?
I think I heard that somewhere...
It sure feels like it right now.

I'm still listening to Touch my Body.
"I want you to caress me like a tropical breeze..."
Oh-So-Cheezy and Oh-So-Wonderful.

I HATE sleeping in jeans.
I cannot do it.
Right now I should change and get into bed. But it's allllll the way upstairs.
When you are tired that seems like a mile.

Guess what I realized today? I am driving down all the way to California TWICE in one month.
Actually 4 times if you count the trips back up.
First, to Mexico (FIRST TIME LEAVING THE COUNTRY!!!) in the middle of July for a mission trip. I am sooo excited for this. I love working when it's on mission trips.
Then, to SHASTA!!!!!! I have been waiting for this for a year. It's not as far of a trip this time, but it is still in California.
I miss living there.
Not Shasta, but California.
I think I figured out why I always want to travel so much. It's becuase I moved 11 times. It's time for a change.
Europe is sounding pretty amazing right now.
Or South America.
Do you know they have FRESH WATER Dolphins in the Amazon River??
They are kind of ugly, but kind of cute. And they are almost completely blind. They have crazy good hearing, though. I love things like that where certain senses are awesome after they lose other senses.

Musical Instruments. I need to learn one. I mean, Rockband is awesome, but I don't think it counts as a musical instrument.
I'm thinking drums (since we already have a drum set) or guitar. But guitars are so...cliche.
Since EVERY moody girl out there wants to pick one up, spill her guts out into lyrics, become famous, and so on. Everyone wants that. 
I mean, why doesn't anyone ever pick up instruments like the cowbell? Or the tambourine?

The pillow next to me is looking pretty comfy. But I will NOT crave into my sleepiness.
Okay, maybe I will in a few more minutes....
If I don't cut out my jugular first.

I feel like living in the city right now.
Again, with the moving thing.

My eyes are blurring and closing....
damn.
I should go to bed.
I wish I had my ipod with me.

Okay, well, I am so tired, and I have listened to too much Maraih Carey for one evening.
Ooh, but wait I have a cool fact.
Did you know when you are watching the sunrise you are actually watching the sunrise 7 minutes early? Because it is a reflection sort of thing, like a prisim.
At leat, I think that's what Watrin said. I was kind of spacing, but I thought it was cool.
That is all for right now. Technically it is Saturday, which means tomorrow is Easter.
Sweeeeeeet.

Honesty, Best Policy Ever?

Nope.
I don't like being vulnerable.
It's true. I'm awful at saying how I feel, unless it's like to my best friends.
Whatever, I'm so over the whole situation.

Today has been crap.
Well, that's what it feels like.
I am getting sick. I'm not completely sick...yet.
But I'm at the stage where my throat hurts a little, and I have sinus pressure, but just a little.
So I know it's coming. It's like the inevitable.
Like the plague or Oprah.

And I have just been kinda bummed today.
Maybe it's because I had my 3 least favorite periods today, or I'm sick, or because every muscle in my body is sore.
Well, mostly in my arms.
Screw the gym and weight training at the same time.
I feel like someone punched me in my freaking armpit.
If you have had that happen, then you can vouch for me...it hurts.
And of course everything that I have to do during the day envolves my arms.
No more bongo drums or competitive high fiving for me.

I'm craving some Hawaii. 
Seriously, my whole family has been talking about it and I really miss it.
Haha our biggest talk is about how we will NOT eat lunch before we dive, and we will take sea sickness pills the night before we dive.
No more barfing...
I miss walking up and down the streets at night and having it be WARM.
Warm is like a 4 letter word here in Washington.
Plus, I miss the ocean.
You don't get too many eels in Battle Ground Lake.

CASEE all day tomorrow.
Hmm.
I need to work on my Leatherback Sea Turtle research.
I really like the new seating chart.
Blasian next to me, Chelsey behind, and a perfect view of Ed's 'stache.
:)
But I feel so bad for Renee...
I loooove my new CASEE sweatshirt, though.
It's amazingly comfy. 
I still haven't decided if I want to go next year.
CASEE is my favorite part about school, but since I'm going to Clark and BGHS (for math) I don't know if I want to do 3 schools all the time.
Eh, I don't even forcast until next month.
Wow, where has sophomore year gone?

I like Scrubs.
I have always hated the show, but I decided to give it another shot since like everyone loves it,
and it's not that bad. 
It's actually really funny.

Tonight I can tell it's gonna be hard to sleep.
Here's why:
-I took way too long of a nap today.
-I have new ipod songs, and you can't just fall asleep to them, you have to listen and enjoy.
-I'm partially sick. 
-I haven't really stayed up in a while, and it's kind of my thing.
-Thinking seems to be something I need to do. Just about everything.

I think I am going to go shower and TRY and sleep or do something.
Tomorrow will be good.
Joey is bringing over I am Legend (Yesssss) and Janelle and Sam are coming over too.
Hello, Rock Band!

Oh, and some advice?
If ever you are in a "I'm mad at boys, friends, life, and I need some chick-power music" kind of mood, listen to Heart of Glass by Blondie.
I swear it totally makes me smile everytime I listen to it.

Books. I need to read. My intelligence level is sinking like the Titanic.
I keep starting books and not finishing.
The Shining is still sitting in my desk, and I have 2 other books I need to start.
I love Stephen King, but his books take sooo long to get interesting.

Well, that's all I can think about writing for right now.
Happy Almost Easter.

It's Sunday.

I love sundays.
No matter how much crap I have to do the next day, I can always relax.
And I never get to bed early, which is the best part.
I love no WASL this week.
I think that is the best part besides 2 half days, and no school friday.
Yessss

My parents bought Rock Band this morning, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of a rockstar.
Haha
Sara and I would make an amazing band.
I think we would specialize in OK GO songs.
:)

So, Mormon dances are the best thing on the planet.
I'm totally not kidding.
Sara and I went last night with Blake and Kaitlyn and it was the bomb.
I have never slowed danced with a boy until last night, and we were gonna see 
how many boys we could dance with, and I think I danced with like 8.
I just decided to get some balls, and ask guys.
Turns out I met some fun mormons with some cool colored toothbrushes.
And I found a boy who should be in Harry Potter...Oh My God haha
and then we couldn't tell if it was a fast or slow song, so we kept dancing.
I learned how to line dance to cotton eyed joe, and almost to footloose.
Who knew mormon hobbies would become my new hobby?

Tonight sara and I are going to go see step up 2. (again.)
I looove that movie.
Sunday night movies are Sara's and my thing now, I think.

The gym.
It's going really well. Even though I almost never want to go, once I work out I feel amazing.
Today I discovered the BEST songs to work out to:
-The Beatles
-369 by Cupid
-Best Friend-Toybox
-The Shins (only when you're cooling down)
-Bonnie Mckee stuff
-Bring it all Back-S Club 7
-The General Specific-Band Of Horses
There is so much more.
I kicked butt on the elyptical machine today, I'm not gonna lie.
Haha some guy was working out next to me and on the back of his shirt it said "Actor/Victim"
I looove leg machines too, but I am not crazy about the arm ones.
Oh, and the row machine is amazing.
I feel so...Pocahontas.

Today my mom and I were talking about college, and I'm getting really excited.
My parents have always wanted Sara and I to go to college in Hawaii since that's where my dad grew up, and I think that is really where I want to go.
I have almost given up on New York for college. I am so sick of cold weather, and I loooove the sun.
Plus, what fun is coming home for the holidays if there is no change in the climate?
Sara wants to go to UH, and I am considering that or Hawaii Pacific University.
My mom even mentioned how Hawaii Pacific University has alot of Marine Programs.
I need my SCUBA lisence so bad.
And, I need a good location to dive. (i.e. NOT Battle Ground Lake)
I'm just really excited because Sara and I could live together, and that would make it way more fun.
Plus, our colleges are pretty close to eachother, if we choose different ones.
I've already visited UH, and I love the campus, so next time we go to Hawaii I want to visit the other one.
All in all, I'm really pumped for Hawaii.
Aloooooha.
:)

Well, I need to shower before I go to the movies.
So, this is where this ends, I guess.
Happy Sunday.
(1 week until Easter hollllllaaaaah)

Ice Ice Baby

I am officially the worst opening up person in the world.
Not even opening up, just talking.
Ughhh
Seriously, I don't know if guys even know that girls can freeze up around them.
Well they can. Or at least I do.
Maybe there is some free clinic or something I can go to or something...haha
As soon as I try and talk, I get all nervous and can't say anything. 
I swear I'm like hopeless.

On top of being an incredibly bad conversationalist, I also have an awful pimple on my face.
I sound so shallow, but I know everyone of you reading this has had that one zit or a blemish that you just know everyone is staring at. Haha I guess when it rains, it pours.

I loooove mochas. I can't stand regular coffee, but when it has loads of flavor, then what's not to love? It's like crack.
Speaking of...
I'm really sick of kids and drugs. I've never done them, and I don't plan to ever take them, it's just weird when everyone you know decides to do it. I try not to judge, but it just seems like certain people could make better decesions. There really is no excuse to use drugs. I know it seems like everyone does it. But trust me, not everyone does. I'm sure everyone thinks about trying it, but it just doesn't seem worth it. I like not worrying about what I do, and things I might regret. I sound like an after school special...dope is dope.

I love the gym.
Well, I love anything cardio.
Strength Training? Haha Not So much.
The Elyptical (I dont know, that running step thing) is my FAVORITE.
I'm sore, but its a great soreness.
Sara and I have made it our goal to go everyday, and so far, so good.

I love Family Guy. Haha it was so funny today how it was popping up everywhere when Sara wanted to watch it.

Guess what I don't love? The WASL. Just thought I should throw that out there.

I'm really tired, and sore, but I feel great. 
A good's night sleep and diet snapple peach tea is JUST what I need.
Oh, and some work on not being completely useless when I talk to the boy I have a crush on.
That would be great.
