The Vapours - Turning Japanese

This is dedicated to Brae H. I don't really know her, but she has been to China and loves hello kitty, who is from Japan. So this reminds me of her.
I heard it yesterday in the car and laughed the entire duration!

In other news: My tummy hurts.

Volleyball joys and woes

Hey peoples. Guess to the what?!?!
I went to volleyball tonight with my friend friend (not just friend) Annie! It was a BLAST! Wow. I had not had that much fun there in a long time.
Unfortunately, Anna Grace did not think ahead. She has classes till 6:30 and can't make it back in time to get a place to play. Drat!

Please Forgive The Lack Of Poptarts

Yesterday evening (soon to be two evenings ago) my mom and I sat down to watch the excitedly anticipated 'Persuasion' done by Masterpiece Theater and BBC. If you know anything of Masterpiece Theater you must know how absolutely wonderful they are!
As 'Persuasion' is by far my favorite novel I claim all rights to make the final opinion of this movie. I LOVED it. Not even caps lock can express my fan-girlish joy! I thought each character was played by the right actor/actress and even within a half hour period it was managed to make an amazing adaption of Jane Austen's book.
Needless to say this come highly recommended by me, both book and Masterpiece movie.


On another note: I began my classes at wor-wic today. joy.
Math 099: Ms. Lloyd. 9am. non-descript teacher and dull voice. Oh this will be a fun class!)
Nutrition (bio 120): Ms. Wilson. 10:45. Beautiful woman in her mid-40s. Tall, blond, slender, funny. I have this class with one very good friend and one new friend so I am very excited. First class went perfectly and I find this may be the profession for me.
English 151: Dr. Bartlette. 12:45. Bright red hair, short, stout, hot pink turtle neck, bright purple jumper. Made an eccentric impression on me. Echoes her own words. Ex. "Please read pages 20-48....pages 20-48." "Yes, we will be reading Shakespeare....Shakespeare."

So, every monday and wednesday I will embark on the quest for higher education. Oh fun fun fun. But I have realized it is a blessing to learn and it is a task that will further my enjoyment of life. This thinking has helped me become much less stressed for the upcoming ACTs. Which I must somehow learn Trig in the next 2 weeks....Eek!

Bethany and I were discussing in-depth how many times Hannah (are lovely leader) says:
"Ya'll are so funny."

It's her signature we've decided.
Love you Hannah!

Forunate Girl

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!
Caps does not express my fan-girlish joy =]


I was going to post a picture of you (to your dismay) but fortunately for you the picture will not upload....So...no picture.

This is Bethany and I at a fall party our small group hosted recently. I was a spin off of 'three-hole-punch Jim' (three-hole-punch Rachel) and Bethany was Michael Scott =] She even has the 'World's Best Boss' mug. So great!


For serious. I always think about Linnea's story and how at Christmas a random lady in line turned around and gave her 10 bucks. And when Linnea was like 'huh?!?' the lady said something about it's Christmas! How great is that? Amazing!
Anyways, I think people need to be more like that year roun, including myself.
We all are so suspicious these days (with some good cause) but I think it makes us sour and secluded.
Not so cool.
Love ya guys!
Peace (on earth and good will towards men)

Migranes and Flu Vaccines

This is Emma and me. Our VANS =] Mine are the aqua pair with hippos and Emma's are the rockin' purple flowered embroidered pair.
I am sitting on Emma. Aren't those THE coolest shoes ever?!?! I got them -considers- two years ago. Green and orange. They are faded now, but I still love them. They are my favorite shoes to date and the brand is 'WANTED' how flippin' sweet is that? (and yes, I did just quote Napoleon Dynamite. I know, old school) If you look at my hand at the top of the pic you can just see a little glimpse of my MAN-watch. Ha ha. Maybe if you're luc...providential I will post a pic of my MAN-watch.

These are two pictures from Harvey Cedars (the retreat us young peoples went on this past weekend) It was really quite an amazing time. The speaker was Mark Davis from Dallas, Texas. He said Dallas is probably the richest area codes in the U.S.A, but also one of the poorest (spiritually speaking).
I think this is relatively true about many places, but maybe on a smaller scale. Salisbury for instants, it's fairly well off being so close to the ocean and all and a rapidly growing city, but for as many churches as we have I rarely meet a Christian. Now this could be because we all are afraid to speak up about are religion, but that's not exactly a good thing either.
Hmm, I think I am rambling. Moving on..

I am sitting here sipping my chamomile tea with fresh ginger. It's very good, it is soothing my throat which (of late) has been giving me signs that I am going to be sick very soon. This whole weekend my parents and me have been very dull and lethargic, we suspect our flu shots which we received Friday might be the cause. Ugh. I really cannot get sick right now.
It doesn't fit into my schedule. Too much school.
Right now I am avoiding writing a paper for my English 101. It is a comparison/contrast essay. I am guessing I have to take the boring classes before I can move onto the more interesting ones. Oh well, at least I have met some very unique people =]

Nothing To Say.

Here's 11-year old me and my father walking on the steps of Lime Park (which some of you most commonly know as Pemberely) What a wonderful experience.

Deprivation

I miss this beautiful woman a whole lot.

Forever and Ever, life is now or never. Forever's going to slow you down.

Me and my cousin down at the beach. Just me and her. It was funness.
Doesn't she have the most gorgeous red hair you've ever seen? I love it SO much!

My phone has a pretty good camera, wouldn't you say?

Chuck Norris-isms

-Chuck Norris can divide by zero.


-Some people wear Superman pajama's....Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.



-Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer, to bad he never cries.



-Every year, Chuck Norris has to reregister every part of his body as a weapon of mass destruction.



-Chuck Norris sleeps with a pillow under his gun.



-One time Chuck Norris was pulled over for drunk driving. He blew a 777%, but he passed the sobriety test and was let off with a warning. So was the police officer.



-Chuck Norris puts the laughter in manslaughter.

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY, MOM!




;)

LaZy

I am being dreadfully lazy.

True. Today I mowed the lawn, went for a two mile run, and swam; but on another note: I watched two Foyle's War's....which I suppose is why I said 'dreafully' up there -points-.
I am thinking in an English voice. Rather odd. Everything I say seems to come out in English..something.
I've even been craving tea time and a meal to go with my tea time =]

The really lazy part is I have some pictures I want to post.
but, alas, they are on my camera and I don't want to take the time to get them off.



p.s. Anna H., LOVE the book. Really good ;)

Something Hit Me

I took a short break from checking blogs, because I was sick of going to every single blog in this little community and seeing the same posts over and over.
So you can imagine my surprise to return and find the only one not posting was myself!!!


{Taken before Christy's wedding}


Unfortunately, I have nothing to report.
Life drags into the school year, and my mind is too summer-washed for something creative.
