My life is a Highway

HAWAII 2010

2010-07-17T21:28:00.000-07:00

ok ok ok i finally broke down and decided to post a blog about what I actually did without my mom telling me over and over and over ... and over that i should do a blog post... I am sure she has been screaming in hr head that i should haha

well here i go.. we went to hawaii like a week ago.. we left on a tuesday night and got back monday night tuesday morning. the plane ride there was kinda well.. weird haha i have never flown with little kids an when i do fly its mostly just me but this trip i flew with most of my family... we were passing around a baby that just had a lot of energy which isnt something you really want to be with when you travel... no offense monica..when we landed it was late at night and everyone was getting tired and grumpy. so we all practically ran to our rooms and quickally went to sleep ... the beds were so comfortable .. the next day was a relax day .. most of us went to the pool and just laid back... the next day i went snorkling with my uncles aunt and grandma and my two cousins. i had gotten so red at the end of the day. I also went swimming in the resort pool later that day. then the next day we roamed the resort a little and did something else but i dont really remember , then the next day i went kayaking and snorkeling and then then the next day i went to visit a volcano which took the entire day but it was awsome!! and then after that i dont really remember what i did nothing really big but i do know that i didnt want to ever leave the island.. i wanted to be there forever... teh weather was perfect to me. when everyone else was complaining that it was humid or hot or cold .. i was in shorts a t-shirt and sandals. but its not like i need to be in them like i didnt need to wear shorts because it was steaming hot or i wasnt stuck in pants because it was freezing cold .. i could have worn pants and shoes or even a light sweater . and the houses were so beautiful and everynow and then i would see a dog and instinct was to say lets take it home after i said that i remembered that we were on an island and that would be very hard to do... she laughed at me and said sure.

its to hot!

2010-06-24T23:18:00.000-07:00

this is a complaining post since my brain is dead and I cant think straight so an educated conversation with me at this time would be a waste of your intelligence... woohoo I spelt all that right, didnt think I would haha .

well as most know I live in the desert. well not THE desert, more like a valley , and not THE valley. but it is a valley. and well were I live it get pretty hot. I mean REALLY hot. The heat starts early like april-ish. While I was in school for most of april and still wearing sweaters and pants[ thats all that I own at this time because I went shopping only for winter and spring in bay area but never thought about what I was going to wear in the summer, didnt think I was going to be home in the summer either] [ok i forgot where i was going with this] anyways I think I was rambling on about how hot it is and all lim have are warm bay area clothes, but because I am a native of san diego, I can survive the bay area a little more then a native of the valley. so my clothes are kinda similar to everyone elses but I have just one more layer.

ok moving on! ....... never mind I think this post wont be much of a good read but more of a random thought post... i think I may have a lot of those since I am really random and I have lost my notebook where I write all my random thoughts down so now they are stuck in my head clogging up everything, it sucked when I was in school I always made sure to bring my notebook and set it next to me during lectures and kept it with me when I did my homework so I dont end up focusing to much on the randomness and can get it out and then move one. but lately I have been trying new notebooks but nothing seems right about it like the notebook I had lost was the only one I could write in. [man all this right and write is making think quite a bit].... wow i suck at typing when i am tired ... i might have to go through this in the moring to try to figure out some of the words that didnt get fully processed through my brain.

mmka

i will try again later.

good night i know its early but I didnt get much sleep last night and I didnt get in a nap and i had to babysit so I couldnt take a power nap, or I would have two very upset babies pulling at me to swing them or feed them or they might have even broken my glasses. my little cousin has this thing about wearing things that others were wearing like bracelets necklaces, glasses, sunglasses, shoes. anything really. and today she kept going for my new sunglasses.

I dont know why I even open my blinds at night I get scared to look out the window thinking something is going to jump in front of my window so I dont look at it but I cant have my back to it since I am afraid for the same reason some one is going to jump up break in and scare me.

I keep looking at my wall and all the magizine pages that I really like are on my wall they give me inspiration to my style and what I draw or make or even write about. well lately I have been noticing more and more all the headbands in all the pictures I was thinking, well more of ask my mom to make me all the clothes headbands since the last time I was infront of a sewing machine I wanted to chuck it out the window and then run it over several times with the truck but i didnt. I kept myself undercontrol and just kept it to a low screaming at the machine type deal, everyone down my street now knows that I dont sew.

well anyways... its hot. I am tired and I just realized that if i put all the change I have inmy room together and the check in my wallet and the cash hidden all over my room [my dog growls in his sleep i really hope he isnt dream about me they say you shouldnt wake people up if they are having and intense dream or sleep walking or something like that well is it the same for dogs. I wont try it. I might go find a long stick and poke him but i dont want him to rabid on me if he was having one of those dreams that he was hunting or something and he thinks I am his prey and then eats me ew I wonder if dogs taste food like we do, like if we eat a chicken we know its chicken but we also know if its bad tasting chicken or really good lemon chicken that I will actually get to eat instead of the dog eating all the leftovers in the pan when we turn our backs for a little while. .... if someone actually reads to this point and I mean reads every word then they must be more bored then I am ... mmka bed time. I will have to finish later

New everything

2010-06-21T15:34:00.000-07:00

so my goal before i go to bed tonight is to completely redo my blog , twitter , etsy and facebook.

I have been lacking in the focus i need to keep up with the world and my profiles and lately they have been looking really sorry so I have decided that enough is enough, i need to get my act together and take my mind off the vacation it has been. on my body to. i have been getting a little chunky and since its hot outside i have been using that excuse long enough. I have my moms exercise dvds of the P90x. If my mom can do it so can I.

so here are my major goals that I will be updating you about-

-fitness

-etsy

-and this BLOG!

ok wish me luck!

here comes a new make over of everything that is mine on the internet

Starting over!

2010-06-20T20:07:00.000-07:00

I have been procastinating post a blog in a long time because, I have been starting my new etsy and been trying to raise up money for a car so I can drive to my own school. Also my personality has been changing I have been changing my hobbies my general likes and my patience. I am learning that every one changes even me and sometimes it could be good or it can be horrible, or in some cases just plain annoying. I am growing up and growing down, I am so reluctent to completely grow up I still like to antagonize and I like to be immature but then again I like the fact that I am gaining more control. there are some days that I am the same as my three year old cousin that is known to be a trouble maker. well anyways I have been stalling is because I have no idea what I am doing anymore. I have random ideas every now and then, but none that have been full proof enough to post about.

any ways I have been thinking that I should start a completly new blog and start over completely with all new everything. but again the ideas arent good enough. well anyways I thought I was going to have nice post but as soon as I started typing I started getting frustrated and blank. so in order to not chuck my computer at the wall I am going to try another day

End of the School year update

2010-04-21T03:34:00.000-07:00

Well its been awhile once again

Finally register for all my classes for fall 2010. I am excited to say that most of my classes next year [ the ones i got considering all the classes I need conflicted with each other] are going to be fun I will be in the Simulator building, working in the Steam simulator, over the course of this year we have been learning about different types of ships and well like every sailor out there they have there favorite and mine is Steam Ships. They can be quite

dangerous but so interesting. I have learned to like diesel ships but living and working on one and spending all your time with it can be quite frustrating when its run and operated by

students, everything has a problem and there are alarms going off more then a usual ship, but its all worth it, best learning experience I could pay for.

I have had fun in most of my classes. Like anywhere else there will always be some teacher you dont like or even the whole class, and well mine in marine survival, yes its a very vital class, cant move up with out it or cant even go out to sea with out but I just cant stand the teacher. but oh well the class is over now.

I will not be going on cruise this year because I want to raise up some money and take some classes over the summer and get everything straighten out before starting my second year of college. this just mean that next year I wont be home for summer at all till probably my senior year. which I will be a 5th year senior, because of my late change over. well thats it for the school year now just preparing for my long summer.

well this was last semester. this is what happens when you spend 3 weeks trying to remember the combination then just get tired of it and brake it open in the worst way possiblehappy holidays haha my friend Kristie standing in a puddlefriend jackie hiding from the upperclassmanthe golden bear, with bad picture of me .
my army of little metal dudesbrasing workhiding from homework... it still found meagain in the bilge
when i was in crew last semester

New Semester.

2010-01-21T14:39:00.000-08:00

ok yeah I realized that the last time I posted something was like the second week into my first semester of college. so why not let the next post be the same but for the second semester. Well I started this semester kind of hectic... like all my classes were messed up and they still have me as my old major. I am now a Marine Engineer Technology major instead of a Global Studies. yeah I know big change but I am loving my classes and I get to live on the ship this semester. Sadly I havent been taking pictures, I havent taken any pictures since I left home. I just dont have the time to get a camera and take the pictures I want to but I can promise you that I will take pictures over the summer for the cruise. well I am not that interesting anymore or I am still brain dead that I cant get anything out so I will make an empty promise again to write another post soon. with details of what my summer will be like since I wont have internet during summer and the rest of a semester that will be filled with me causing chaos.

New Life. New adventures, also New worries

2009-10-09T09:04:00.000-07:00

So as most know I am in college already. I love here at Cal Maritime. When I got here I was extremely nervous but once I got acquainted with the girls and well of course most of the guys, this school being 85% guys and living in the coed floor. My classes here are so wonderful. I am taking Ocean Politics, Environmental Law, Macroeconomics, Lib, Spanish, and I am on the crew team. Crew for the people that don't know is the speed rowing team. I am stroke seat. so the seat that controls the speed of the boat and the person everyone has to stay in stroke with. I am also going to run for Environmental Officer. I hope that goes successful.

I live close to frisco so every chance I get I go into the city and wonder the city getting to know the city I want to live in. It is so beautiful and serene My school is actual on the bay since we have the TSGB - Training Ship Golden Bear.

Since this is an academy we were uniforms I finally got my full short khaki, still waiting on my khaki long and my salt and peppers and my blues jacket, and my work uniform[even though I am a global and not an engineer I still need to wear them] but I have learned that after making persistent phone calls and visits and finally talking to the top of the chain person things get done faster. When I lived back at home I used to take advantage of my mom being able to get these kind of things done for me, so I never realized that just like my mom I can be just as tenacious about getting people to do there job [except for att] .

I maybe at an academy but I am still the most colorful person you can find on campus, also the person that speaks her mind fast and loudly. I am hoping by my senior year that I can get the highest rank with out joining the coast guard or the other services here and hoping to be commander of the corp. I have high hopes that I know will be hard to get to but I know I can get to them. This is the challenge I have been waiting for.

The things that you learn here can't be taught anywhere else. It not just the classes its the people. It knowing your shipmate, protecting them, helping them, and never letting them down. Its going through hell week together and having the one thing in common and that is the hatred of khaki haha joking around but it is true. I may want my uniform but that's because I don't want to look like the freshman still wearing o week uniform. So that's all I have time for I will try to update as much as possible.

My important info

I am in Division 3

Don't have a squad number we just say Tapans Squad

My major is Global Studies and Maritime Affairs

Minor in Marine Bio

If you want my address email me at giglekimy@yahoo.com-check this one once a week

or sdickerman@csum.edu- check this one twice a day

for those who don't know my school is locate in Vallejo CA. In the bay area the major city close by is San Francisco.

Roommate is a Vegetarian so I have been less meat then I usually eat which wasn't much to begin with.

I am addicted to cookies and Reese cups. I will take people watch if they give me a bag of Reese cups or really good cookies.

and my worries are - rain when we have water practice, falling up the stairs again, falling off my very high bed, all nighters and getting in a fight with the people above us because he loves to tap dance or something while we are studying or trying to sleep, hurting my knee again and most of all getting food poisoning again from the mess deck.

Peace

Money Money Money - for school

2009-08-17T10:20:00.000-07:00

Well My College Fund is non- existant. I wish I had started saving a long time ago, but the thought of going to college wasn't in my mind a few years ago.

I have worked really hard to get into one of the top Maritime Academy's in the west coast unfortunetly it's about $26,000 a year. I am almost there I have applied to every Grant, every Scholarship, every special Fund I knew about.We are two weeks away from driving up and I am short two thousand dollars that is due September second.

So I have decided that I need to start my own business.

Here is what I am selling on Etsy:: www.giglekimy.etsy.com

If you don't see anything that you would like to purchase but would still like to help me out with a few dollars - you can
Thank you all for your support.

Young Women Recognition

2009-08-14T18:40:00.000-07:00

I waited till the last minute. I finally found my book and was able to show that I was done. It was such a wonderful meeting. I was so nervous about doing my talk on knowledge that I started to mumble and my talk also ended abruptly with a yea thats it. I also didn't have a lot of time to put up a display so all I had was my laptop showing pictures I have taken for photography.

I graduated!

2009-08-14T18:35:00.000-07:00

June13th- YAY I finally did it. I made it all the way, and made everyone cry. Even my teacher cried when he started to talk about me. It felt so good be up there. I was praying the whole time that I wouldnt trip or be my clumsy self. Even though I almost did haha. Thank you everyone who stuck with till the end, and a new beginning!!

Birthday in June!

2009-08-14T18:23:00.000-07:00

So yeah I know its been a couple months since I have updated my blog and I have tried to start my photo blog back up but I guess I have been procrastinating it for some reason so . I am going to post a bunch right now about the past couple month and the major events that have gone on in my life. So the first is my birthday, my 18th birthday ...Woah I am legal. HAHA. I had a small little party with family and close friends and people that have been a big part of my life. It was a Fun night received some money for school and Lorenzo made me a wind chime. Later Jaci, Heidi, Jacob, Lorenzo and I went out and caused chaos haha joking. It was a wonderful night .. Thank you all for being there. P.S I wasnt crying I trying to peek at my gift that i was suppose to have covered my eyes for haha

Bio Lab .. peas!

2009-05-15T15:24:00.000-07:00

So this week started with not much to do and then the last two days was completely full. I had two lab in two days yesterdays lab was just a fun lab where we got the DNA from a pea.. even though all of us where supposed to know how to do it properly, none of us did and the teacher had to fix it so I could get the pictures so I can finish my end of the year project. It was quiet entertaining, we probably looked like chickens with our heads cut off. here are some pics!

So I realized that ....

2009-05-11T22:35:00.000-07:00

Everything in the world is telling me I need to start getting up earlier then 11 am everyday ! I was reading the new era last night and I am procrastinating reading all the articles about going to seminary and waking up early to start each day. Then I realize that it also means having to go to bed early to... seminary is almost over and the summer is here and so I really shouldnt complain about waking up for a couple more days but I also have to get into the habit for CMA which only have morning and noon classes. Boy am I going to need all the breaks to sleep and only sleep , because I will be non-stop studying to keep myself from derailing again !

Prints

2009-05-11T21:05:00.000-07:00

So lately I have been thinking of selling prints of my photos... but I am still pessimistic about the idea. My teacher seem to want to kill me every time I point out something wrong with each picture and tell them they aren't good. which I still do just in my head now or I may get kicked out of my class for being a pessimist HAHA. So its going to stay an idea till I can find people to want to buy them from me and a place to sell them .. I was thinking etsy.com but I am not sure I can sell them on there.

shiny disco balls!

2009-03-11T22:43:00.000-07:00

because I am bored ... I say random things and well I am just really random and make people around me uncomfortable so yeah . I thought I would blog this since I haven't updated this in so long!!! I thought I would recount a time when I made a lot of people feel uncomfortable to be around me because of three words that I randomly started singing. I am no dirty but I do like techno and for those that know that a lot of techno can sound just wrong, well I didn't realize it till I said it out loud and had all the guys laughing and the girls looking at me like I am the biggest freak in the world. This day was like two years ago when I went to LQHS and we had a free period so I took out my ipod and It had died so I thought I would sing something I had stuck in my head to keep myself entertained. It happened to a mix my friend made me called shiny disco balls. Its not a bad song and those are practically the only words it has. I just happened to be in a class that had finished studying the human body and the reproductive system so jokes where still going on and thats what my three words came out to be. So today I was listen to my itune on shuffle and that song came on and I started laughing uncontrollably, it scared my cat that hates me haha . yeah that about it !

New photography assignment .

2009-03-03T16:13:00.000-08:00

I have been asked by my teacher to start a blog just for my photos
so I finally did today and I havent put up all photos and still looking for a lot
of other photos I currently only have my Seattel picture that I took last week .

heres the url- http://stephaniesphotojournal.blogspot.com/

Love babies!

2009-02-19T22:25:00.000-08:00

So as many may already know , I have a new cousin . She is a little older and getting a lot cuter. I finally got a good picture of Lexi and I . My last picture, I looked like Medusa and my glasses were all crooked . so heres the new picture!

Science is always interesting for me.

2009-02-19T22:07:00.000-08:00

So I really only ever go to an actual class once a week and its only one class . So I decided to take Bio. I love biology , considering I am thinking going to major in marine biology. Well to get on with what I am trying to get at is something interesting always happens. The class I am taking is more like whatever you really want to learn in bio instead of the strict textbook class, so one of the kids in my class is interested in nature and wildlife and he recommended pulling apart an owl pellet [you know the things you pull apart in the third grade] .It was quite fun except I got a contorted one and when I started to pull it apart it was nothing but bones and very little fur but it was big! When I finally got through half of it I had got many bones varying from really little to quite big, but the most interesting was that I found four little mouse or rat skulls there might of been more but while I was going through it I broke a lot of bones. The other students ended up with either a bird , another full mouse and a head less animal which still can't be identified yet. So thats my story of my science class.

p.s

On the way home the mountains where covered in snow !!!!!

Acceptance letter from San Marco

2009-02-13T22:57:00.000-08:00

So today after I got back from San Diego [ a trip not for fun but just to retrieve a transcript ] I did my usually routine of say hi to Bo then checking the mail and well something interesting came in the mail well it was a small envelope from Cal State San Marcos, as soon as I saw it I was sure that I knew what it was going to say that I didn't get in . Well I was dead wrong it was a small letter say I had been accepted . Surely I am trying my hardest to go to Cal Maritime Academy but it is always nice to have a second choice. Now all I am really waiting for is San Luis Obispo and I am good.

New Camera Lens

2009-02-10T23:07:00.000-08:00

I know this is kind of late but as an insomniac I a starting to run out of things to do at night that doesn't require a lot of noise for me [which is impossible, I'm to clumsy and trip over everything]So I spend my time at night either reading or find something entertaining on the computer [mainly movies off of netflix , computer is still new and I refuse to put anything on it ] .

So the big news is that I think it was last week on Tuesday or Wednesday , that my mom went to go exchange her video camera at Circuit City when she came across camera lens for my type of camera , and for awhile I have been bugging my mom to get me a new lens [since she has dropped my camera several times and the lens that was on the camera wasn't allowing my to focus and zoom in right ] and thats when she

called me and asked what kind of lens I have on the camera now and I told her , which made me suspicious of what she was really up to and when she came home she handed me the bag and told me that it was my early birthday present and for those who don't know my birthday is in June . So since the day I got the lens I have not let the camera out of my sight for the fear of something happening to it would give me terrible grief and well boredom since I wouldn't know what to do with out a camera .

San Diego Trip

2009-02-10T17:38:00.000-08:00

So through the chaos of my whole life, my mom and I still find time to head down to San Diego and just find interesting things to do while we are there . This trip we decided to go see the full size replica of the Nina [ Columbus's ship] . My mom like to think she knows where everything is , so she didn't bother taking directions , causing us to driving around the city for quite a while. Until she decided to stop at Harbor Police Station and ask them where it was . When we got there the suspense that has been built up from driving all day quickly dispersed at the site of the smallest ship at the dock . Even though it was quite cool to see it and be able to board the ship to see the , well just the deck since it was really small and the crew used to bottom of the ship for sleeping quarters . It was interesting to hear that Columbus's crew slept on the deck for three months and used the bottom for cargo . It was about 93 feet and there was about 36 people in Columbus's crew. The replica was fully functional they try to sail it as much as they can. The ship is in San Diego till Feb. 16th .

Update on my so called busy life!

2009-01-25T20:21:00.001-08:00

So lately I haven't been to interested on updating people on what's going on in my life, even though some amazing things have been happening and happened . Hmmm where to start .... Lets start with christmas , which went pretty well this year, I got a macbook for "college" I really love it ....even though it didn't work well when I first got it . I got it services and its working well right now .... lets hope that it stays that way .

I got some other things for christmas just random item like a book, markers, headphones [I get a pair every year], candy and other things. My I spent christmas eve with my mom and our family and on christmas day my dad came and picked me to spend it with his family. Sadly I only spent a couple days there . I got anxious around all the kids in the house and I didn't want to hurt any of them if they got on the wrong side of me , I will be back soon to spend more time with them, just not during a time they get new toys and are extremely excited that santa came.

The beginning of January was pretty slow I finished up some college app. and did homework .

then on January 22 my mom and I went to have a family home evening with my aunt and her family and during the "lesson" [games] she told us that she was have co

ntractions all day [she was pregnant] and that the baby might be coming in a day or so . The next day I was woken up to go babysit keegan [her son] while my mom and her husband took her to the hospital. We waited till I got the text around five that the baby was born and healthy .. it was also one of my cousins birthday so most of my family was at my other uncles house to celebrate my cousins birthday .

The baby is name Alexis Grace Roberts . She was 7 pounds and 3 ounces .

The very next day after visiting with Monica and her new baby , I went to check the mail [at night so I couldnt see] and inside I felt a very big envolop inside , my heart was racing already so i quickaly grabbed the whole pile and ran towards the house and as soon as i got to the light I got the envolop that was addressed to me from Cal Maritime and on the corner to the envolop was a stamp that said congratulations I was scream to anyone that would pay attention at teh time of my akward actions I ran up and down the house yelling I got in and called anyone that would answer the phone and screamed I got in and this went on for a while I also flooded all of myspace and fa

cebook with i got accepted , and I hadnt even opened the envolop yet, till i was finially calm enough to sit still to open and read its contents . Surely enough it was an acceptance letter and information to make things final . This had been the school of my dreams and it came true ....Thank you to all those who helped me in making it this far ..I may not be done asking for help but I wouldnt have even gotten this far with out my family and friends

December fun - with flash backs

2008-12-07T22:58:00.000-08:00

So I have been avoiding blogging again . I truely dont like to type , but I have to pratice according to my mom .. so heres december updates and events I havent covered yet from november

december - nothing much going on we had a christmas dinner party and my mom finially got the christmas tree . we got it a week late so i was getting worried that we might end up using the fake one but we got lucky and found a perfect one . while i was looking through all my photos, I relized that me and my mom are never in the pictures together alone at the same time so during the christmas party i snuck up on her and took a picture of us it turned out pretty good i liked it .

i dont have much to say so yeah .

Catching up ending at Frida

2008-11-14T20:55:00.000-08:00

So as you have seen in my previous blog Michael is back and I am really happy about that . It is one of my worries that left my mind and sleepless nights .

I recent went to San Fran . to visit a college and my uncle . I thought that it was a perfect college for me . As soon as I walked on campus I felt so good about what my future in this school was going to be like and I would still be close to my family well only my uncle but its still feels as though its home even though all my family is going to be south of me . I am really excite about this school [Cal Maritime] .

Lately I have been catching up on some homework so I have been ignoring the world a little . Not on purpose though . Even though all the free time I had I used for painting and reading . I have finish three books the month of October and I am currently reading Angela's Ashes, The Lovely Bones, and The Art of Racing in the Rain,and I have recently finished a painting I have been working on for a while. I will put up a picture soon.

So today was the end of my chaotic catching up mode, my decided to treat me with taking me to a the Frida Kahlo portrait exhibit . Really the only thing I loved was the pictures of Frida . The rest of the museum gave me a headache . I felt like I was surrounded by examples of rushed art . There wasn't a lot of originals It seems like a repeat of paintings that where more famous but one must not judge . So I took some pictures of the piece I liked and that I was able to even though I felt weird since every security guard was looking at me .I had my flash off so I not fully sure on why they kept watching me .

Today was exhausting but wonderful . Hope tomorrow is going to be good to even though I have to figure out a way to give Dustin's drums to his friends in the morning which I really want to sleep in but such is life.

Michael Is back .....

CMA Requirements

2008-10-22T16:41:00.000-07:00

So according to my mom I have an 80% chance of making CalMaritime Academy in Northern California . This really makes me want to get on a plane and go there now , but I have to be patient[If its possible] . In November I will be going to an open house there so see the campus and you know open house so just seeing everything up there and then I will be hanging out with my uncle for a while after that . Im so worried on what I should wear but nothing big ,I just dont know how I should dress . My closet is really colorful , Im afraid if it might be to colorful for where Im going .

So I was looking through the Requirements and I knew they had a uniform and that it was going to be similar to military school . So I was prepared for that but then I was looking at the other photos they had and all of the women while in class had there hair back and then I relized that in the military all the women had to be able to have a classic updo and no extra hair hanging out so it hit me like someone punched me in the face. That I cant cut my hair !
Since I was five I think I have had short hair .Its going to kill me to have long hair . At least it will be cool weather so I wont have much to worry about getting to hot , and my hair will be 90% of the time in an updo so now I just have to learn how to keep my hair from being its natural wavy self . boo .

Brighter then the sun!

Mmka so people that know me know that I am extreme colorful . I love natural colors but I love to stand out even more. So I had finially finish my homework , yeah its a surprise to me to, and my mom let me hang at the mall so I can get out of the stuffy house. While at the mall I go to the stores I always shop at and then I decide to look at Wet Seal , I like some of there clothes but I never seems to interest in shopping there and plus I usually go to the mall with no money, so I am walking around I dont see much that is to die for , yet . Im walking and walking and then I turn around and there they are the brightest pair of orange pants and it was then that I had my phone out and already dialing my moms number without even realizing that I was calling . So my mom picks up and i just blurt out 'can I spend 25 dollars please ' and she says for what and when she said that I knew that I had a chance to get them and so I say in my excited voice 'orange pants!' thats when she laughs and says ok .I was so excited I quickally went through the whole stack I was almost dissappointed when I didnt see my size till I got to the lost pair and I quickally got them went to try them on and then ran to the cashier and she rang them but I almost felt like running out there and running towards the car to get home and try them on again I mean I was really excited . I wasnt even this excited when I got purple pants in San Deigo.

So a couple days later well today I went to target with my dad and he had to get some clothes so I was walking around the guys section and I noticed the cutest sweater vest I had ever seen and I quickally looked up at him knowing what the answer would be and he just looked away and thats when I dropped it in the cart .

Life seems so much more fun when you can be brighter then most people . So my shopping goal is to own all the colors of the rainbow and then get a rainbow dress or skirt , so that I could wear each color for everyday of the week and then on sunday I can wear the rainbow. So far I only have purple and orange just 4 more colors to go . I hope I did my math right though.

Writers block for the past couple months

2008-10-12T11:36:00.001-07:00

Ok since I havent posted anything recent I decided that I would tell you why .
My has been crazy lately and I have been trying to write a story and so far i have 12 pages written and its been a month I really want to get the ideas out of my head but I cant seem to put them into words .So I have been stuck writing small poems and just reading and being behind in homework doesnt help either .
So the update on what life has been like and what I havent been blogging , first I went the to The Bowsers Museum in Santa Ana , I think it is , and saw the Terra Cotta Warriors Exhibit . That was so much fun and I saw a friend from church there so I was happy ! Then a couple weeks later I was on my way home from hemet and if you know me then you would know that i get lost alot . So I was heading home a back way that I remember someone taking me but I wasnt sure that the way I was aking the right way so I started to get scared and then all of a sudden i hit a dirt patch on the road and then ended up going up the side of the mountian and almost flipped my car and so when the car went down it was stuck in the middle of a every small road. I was grateful that there are still some very nice people that helpped me move my car to the side and helped move traffic around the accident scene . The car had lost all its oil in the road so I was worried that people might take the corner fast and slide in the oil but while I was there the whole time everyone slowed down to ask if I was ok so there was no fast movement in the oil spot .For the record i was perfectly fine nothing happend to me but a couple scratchs and many bruises . The next day I learned that my car was completely totalled and it would cost more to fix it then its worth so we are going to get money for the car to go purchase another car.
Yesterday my mom dad and I went car looking we didnt find anything that we felt comfortable with so we are leaving the car shopping for another day .
Thats about it for my life , I cant remember much of anything else... Oh yeah I learned how to knit so now Im knitting a scarf for the Assited living people in Hemet .

Pulling Teeth in Mexico,School in Hemet,and Plays in San Diego.

2008-09-19T19:11:00.000-07:00

My life has been busy before and I have never put much thought because my mom is the one that helps me out during the week but this week was my first week flying solo.

So the week started on Monday with a community service class in hemet and all we did in class was plan things that lasted only an hour so half my day was spent driving instead of doing homework . While I was in hemet I took like half an hour looking for in and out . I was so determined to eat in and out . when I finially found it . The place was packed ,like people where eating outside, not one seat was empty in the whole place . So I ordered to go and since I was driving I decided to not eat while I was driving[really good idea for me] .
Heading home was the hard part since I lost myself I had missed my turn and kept going straight which lead me to farms and I freaked out when I found out I was heading towards the mountian way to get home and people that know me know I get car sick and I didnt want to chance it when I had the smell of food in the car so I did a u turn and then headed back and finially found a road I recognized and headed toward the freeway .Which my leg ended up falling asleep . The whole way home it looked like I was dancing in my seat. I made it home and to my dismay all my food was cold . Wishing that I would of stayed there I continued to eat my burger .The next day was Tuesday this day was the best of the week because , first I went to San Deigo and second I went to see a play that I have always loved called The Merry Wives Of Windsor , one of the many plays that I adore from Shakespeare .
So I never really knew what the saying pulling teeth ment till wednesday, when my mom told me in the beginning of the week that I was going down to mexico to get my wisdom teeth out I was ok with it and then it started to kick in when members of my family started to tell me that it was going to hurt. So the car ride there I was nervous , I felt like I really wanted to pass out when the car ride was over and we were walking to the dentist office I started to think that if I run no one can catch me but we were already at the door walking in so it was to late to continue to think about running . while we were waiting I was giving a sign in sheet with questions about anything important tot he dentist and sadly since i have forgotten most of my spanish I kept asking my grandma to fill in the places I wasnt sure what the question was. Just as I finished the sheet they called me up . I almost started to cry, while i was waiting in the chair my body started to shake alot . I was looking at all the certificates on the wall to make sure that the dentist wasnt a fake but sadly they were all in spanish , then the dentist came in and started to talk to me and since I was nervous i wasnt int he right mind set to translate in my head so I stayed quiet and nodded the whole time finially when everything was over and I was loopy from the drugs I relized that he used to be my uncles and my moms dentist as well , so I was mad later that I got worked up for nothing . On the way home i had fallen asleep alittle but then the drugs started to wear off and so I was awake and carsick and in pain for most of the way home and then my grandma decided to try to make me happy and I started to laugh and I think thats when I broke a stitch. I couldnt tell I was afraid to open my mouth so for two days I didnt talk . That seem like the longest two day I ever lived through even though i slept for most of it I still wanted to talk so bad . I slipped up quiet abit but that still didnt help the impatience I was in , I really wanted to talk . Everything healed ok nothing to bad happend except I did mess up the stitch and it didnt heal right but Im not going back so Im ok with it .

So that was my busy week there would have been more to the week but i decided to rest from the extraction of my two wisdom teeth .

School is now in session.

2008-09-09T19:47:00.000-07:00

YAY! It's my senior year , that means I am almost finished and ready to start college to begin my new life in the big world. Its going to be hard but I am addicted to my first class Gov. , I think that its so entertaining to see that there is no really good governments in this world since the beginning to now . I do miss going to regular high school and getting the freedom out of the house . Life seems stressful at the moment because of school work and other random things going on . Seminary has started and today was the second day of seminary . I am still having problems accepting that this is my last year of school and seminary . I really dont see time going fast or slow for me but I do see that I am wasting time and I still have so much to do before I get to college .

Taking a break from the computer.

2008-08-26T22:54:00.000-07:00

Ok so today my mom and dad left for one of my dads many doctors appointments . I stayed home to take care of Bo that had just gotten fixed. So while watching a dog sleep all day I decided to be lazy and watch television hahah . Not my usual thing I do when I am bored but I have to say that I was entertained by a landslide , then I usually am by the computer . I thought that i would take some breaks from the computer since its going to be the biggest part of my senior year of high school/home school. Well I ended up watching two marathons of What I Like About You and Greek. These shows that I would never think that I would watch and like .So thats the highlight of my day .

LDS girls camp july 2008

2008-08-09T19:03:00.000-07:00

Well I feel so old today is my moms birthday well we have a thing were if your past your 20s you continue to say your 20 -something . So this summer has many last and a first . Its my first summer that i had been home for my moms birthday . Every year I would be at camp and miss her birthday this year they moved camp up a week .

For being my last year at camp , it didnt seem that special . I did what I had done every year at camp and theres wasnt much contention this as last year . I learned that I get annoyed easily though . My dad decided to grace me with his presents at camp but I barely saw him . I had certified for all 6 years last year so I didnt do much this year but help out . Nothing really special , we went to the lake and did a 4 mile hike that didnt go so well for me since I wore converse shoes and they dont have an arch support. the view from the hike was like soemthing you have never seen . What I saw was not something you put in a picture . It was better to see it with your own eyes . Nothing realy happened worth typing about .

They gave me the nickname of boo from monsters inc..

warped tour 2008 , Pomona

2008-07-06T11:37:00.000-07:00

OK so this is a little late but June 20th I went to warped tour in Pomona it was quiet an adventure. We met two guy that where from the valley and where friends of Vashti so we stuck with them they were pretty cool except one of them didn't really want to be there so he was a drag . Later we realized that we had ran out of water and money so , well we were to our last 5 dollars and water cost 3 dollars and they were small water bottles . So we cooled down in the tents and waited for a while till we felt we could go into another crowded stage and push each other around , but my mistake was that I'm stubborn and want to see every one so I ran from on stage to another with out a brake and on my way to gym class heroes i passed out from heat exhaustion it was quiet frightening but the guys we were with were nice to get me some water and force me to rest . When we felt that we could do another band Vashti was starting to feel sick so she went home and I stayed with Heidi we saw two more shows and then went to eat panda express. Ha ha we were so hungry and tired that we didn't care what people said about us looking dirty or even smelly we wanted food and then to sleep . This was my second year going and I hope to keep this a tradition with my Drug Heidi.

learning....not always bad.

2008-06-29T23:49:00.000-07:00

OK so my mom has a blog and I go on the Internet all the time and I never even heard of it so I'm starting my own blog ..I'm not much of a blog person but its way to record the things I have done and things I need to do . ::cough:: ::cough:: school work ::cough:: ::cough::. ..... well right now I am a senior in high school , I never thought I would be saying that , I don't really want to grow up. I still wish I was in kindergarten .My life moves to fast for me . I am still playing eeni meeni minni mo with what I want to do after college. This past year I have learned that i am not a business person ,fashion designer , or photographer, but I did learn my love for the sea life . Earlier this year I had a chance to go to Catalina and I took it . At first I was really scared but then I learned that if I really like something to go ahead and go for it so I was always volunteering for kayaking and snorking , but there is one thing i didn't do because of my fears .... night snorking. Im still afraid of the dark but I loved doing everything else.
So a couple days ago I found out that I could finish my math credits during the summer time.
I am really excited about it . When i heard the news that i could finish it . I was still sleeping so it really wasn't good news till later in the afternoon after I was fully awake . So if I get all good grades, I may be able to get into San Marcos . Even though I'm still unsure of my career goal . My school goals are almost finished . Homeschooling has made me into a better person ,I am so glad that I let my mom make my decisions for me , well I let her reluctantly , at first I hated being home schooled . I still dont like home school but if they told me I could go back to LQHS I wouldn't . My grades are so much better because I can use my brain with no restrictions . Well there are but not as many as in high school .Well that's it for now I gotta clean my room .[edited so my mom could stop making fun of me]
