Harper's Island
Erin is insane!! She doesn't like Harper's Island! :( I absolutely love it! I really am trying to find out who the killer is. I doubt that John Wakefield somehow survived a gunshot from Abby's dad. And if he did, how is it that they burried him? I'm thinking that it's either the father of the bride or maybe one of the groomsmen. What is up with Trish's niece? Something's wrong there. Anyway, Harper's Island is awesome and if you haven't seen it, you should. It's like Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None, which is totally cool.
Ok, enough obsesing oven my new favorite show. I don't know what to talk about, which is odd because I haven't posted in a while. I should have a ton to talk about.
Nate and dad are in Kansas right now at a rabbit show. Yup. A 20 hour drive just for a rabbit show! Crazy. But I get to go over to dad's house and have it all to myself. And he just got the pool up and running. So, that's neat.
I'm rereading the House of Night series. It's pretty good if you like vampire books.
School is crazy. It's getting to the end of the year and I'm stressing out. I'm not sure if I want it to be over yet. I'm not sure I'm ready. But, time doesn't wait for a single, silly person.
I can't wait for prom!!! But, Hink now says that he's not going so I don't have a date. I'll be the third wheel again. Oh, well. It's not likie it was a real date. Just friends going together. Plus, we're going bowling after prom, so, FUN!
Ok. I think I posted enough to make up for my lack of posts since last Friday. See ya!

Susan Boyle- Enough Said
Susan is so awesome!!!! If you have no idea who I'm talking about, go to youtube and look up 'Britain's Got Talent Susan Boyle.' Her voice is so amazing. Masser showed us the video. Boyle sang a song from Les Miserables called 'I Dreamed a Dream.'
I can't say anymore. Just watch it. You'll be glad you did.
Do it!! You know you want to!!!!!

creative writing and cars
Today, we had to re-type everyone's poems in creative writing so that they were in the same font and formated correctly for Kaliedescope. :( It took a while and was kinda boring. Scratch that. Very boring. But it's important for the class so....
Anyway, my dad had to take his suburban into the shop last night to get it looked at. Guess who's car he's using now to get to and from work?... That's right! Mine. I don't mind that much, but the reason I'm bringing this up is that I realized something. My car is in decent condition when it comes to the part where it has to run efficently. But, it's crappy when it comes to everything else inside the car. My door handle is broken so I have to role down the window to be able to close the door. Even when it's raining! And when there is snow on top of my car and I shut the door, all that freezing cold snow falls into my car and down my neck!! >:(
Plus, my radio is a piece of poop. I only can get it to work on clear skies and even then there's only a 50% chance I will get a radio station and not just fuzz. I have a cassette player and one, repeat ONE, cassette to play. so this week, while we've had all these rainy days, I've been repeatedly listening to that one old cassette my parents bought for me way back when the popular way to listen to music was the cassette tape. And that one cassette tape is Shania Twain Come On Over. Yes, people. I have had I Feel Like A Woman repeatedly playing in my mind for the past three days.
Then, we have the heating and air conditioning system. OMG! Spring days that are cold in the morning and warm during the day are the worst! It takes forever to get started on cold days. And even when I have it on full blast, I get to school of church with frozen hands. Then, when it starts to get warmer during the day and I 'turn it off,' it doesn't go off. There is a constant stream of air coming through my vents that is being warmed by my heating system. I have to roll down my windows so that I'm not roasting in the sweatshirt I wore that morning because I was freezing! But, sadly, that doesn't stop my heater from running, which uses the precious gas I put into the tank.
And the window paint that my sister had put on my car like three weeks ago, I just finally got that scrubbed off this past Eater Weekend. I didn't mind it that much until Thursday when driving to school and the paint gave me a surprise. I was in the outside lane of 22 going east and I wanted to get into the inside lane so that I could turn left on to the road to school. I looked into my rear view mirror and side mirror and put on my signal. I checked the mirrors again and finally looked over my should to my blind spot as I was about to go into the inside lane. I saw yellow and FREAKED!! I had a heartattack. Thoughts were running through my head, like if I hadn't looked to my blind spot, I would have hit this car in the inside lane and I would have gotten myself into my first car crash, or like I couldn't believe that I hadn't noticed that car before because I am constatly looking to see what cars are around me to avoid the very collision I had almost been a part of. These thoughts ran through my head in about two to three seconds. Right after I swerved back into the outside lane, I looked back over into the inside lane. No one there. The yellow spot I had thought was the headlights of another car was a stupid G my sister had written on the window. It went to the statement she had written 'GET GLAD!' How ironic because I was P.O.ed. So, that Saturday, I was outside with a bucket of warm soapy water and an old rag, scrubbing away at the paint plastered on my car. And it was COLD that afternoon because it had rained earlier that day.
Ok. I'm done rambling about stupid stuff. I'll blog some more later.

thought for today
If I'm 18 and am held responsible for my actions as an adult in the laws eyes, why am I not allowed to be in a bar after 9pm?
A while back, I was at the winner circle for my older brother and sister's 22nd birthday (yes, they are twins) because the band missy (my sister) is a part of played there that night. Zach (my brother) wanted to stay and listen to them, and Missy had to be there anyway. So it was decided that we as a family would go there for dinner and then let the twins stay late for the band. Half-way through the celebrations, I decided it would be cool to hear the band that my sister works with. so, I asked dad if it would be alright to stay later with my sibilings. He thought it would be ok, but my sister (the band had already plyed there a number of times, so she knew the rules even though my dad did not) spoke up and said that no one under the age of 21 is allowed to stay in the bar after 9. Guess when the band was supposed to come on?
Needless to say, I didn't really get to see them. Which I guess is ok. Missy got a cd and I listened to it. They're ok, not my favorite. But it got me to thinking. Why is it that I am held accountable for my actions as an adult in the eyes of the law, but am not treated like one? Why is it that I can go into a gas station and buy cigarettes that will give me lung cancer and kill me, but I can't be in a bar? It's not like I was going to drink. I am personally against alcohol, but they don't know instead, they could give me a wristband that says im under 21 or stamp my forehead for all I care. I just wish that I was either treated like a teenager or an adult. It shouldn't be obscure the way it is.

soc class
We are studying marriage, dating, and family customs. Everyone in our class got a county to research today and have to do a mini oral report tomorrow. Isn't that great?! >:(
Anyway, I got China and, did you know, people are not allowed to marry unless the man is at least 22 and the woman 20? Public displays of affection are discouraged and intimate dating relationships are highly frowned upon. The bride retains her maiden name but the children recieve their father's surname. The bride has THREE wardrobe changes during the course of her wedding day. She starts out with red in the morning when her fiancee come to pick her up to go to the church and ends up in white for the main banquet at the end of the day. The guests play tricks on the new couple until they retire for the day.
Yep. They have some different customs in china. I'm really glad I live in America!!

glitch
Have you ever felt like you're following the directions from a G.P.S. system thats malfuntioned?
'Take the next right.... Now, take your first left..... Take the left .5 miles ahead.... Now, take a right, or maybe a left... left..right...right...right..left.right.rightleftleftleftrilefrighle......... Oh, look. You're back where you started!' :(
Life is so much like that. But, I've found, that no matter how little progress I've made, I'm still at a different spot then when I started. At least now, I know one way that won't get me to the next part of my life. And knowledge is the only guaranteed thing that we can arm ourselves with.
