It's Been A While I Know

     I have an apology to make to all my followers. I know it has been a very long time since I blogged. I know some of you out there may be like most of my teachers, accepting no excuses but for those of you that would accept my excuse I think I might have a pretty good one. My junior year has been crazy so far. Crazy but wonderful. Other than school and all my classes I have been busy with my school magazine. I am graphics editor but I also write and design and take pictures. The news season for my church's youth group has also started with the new school year. I love youth and I'm happy to be back in it. I also really like my new small group now that I have moved up to the Junior and Senior girls group. I have also started taking violin lessons from a new teacher who is much more strict. Lastly and most of all I have made my schools fall musical. Nothing huge but I made it into the chorus. It is so much fun but it takes a lot of commitnment. I have rehersal almost every night until at least six.
     As for those little moments of freedom I have recieved I have discoverd some new things I would really like to share. First off have any of you heard of a website called tumblr? I love it :) tumblr.com. Secondly I have been reading... a lot. If you are a fan of the Percy Jackson serires you should check out the Cane Chronicles and the Heros of Olympus series both also by Rick Riordan and jsut fyi the second book of the Heros of Olympus sereis: Son of Neptune comes out TOMORROW AND I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! I also just finished the 4th book in the Kingdom Keepers serires this weeked, and I also highly recommend that book.
     I am sorry this is kind of a boring post, its mostly a recap of whats been up. Hopefully I'll be able to post more soon. But before I end this post I would like to tell you one thing. Remember my boyfriend Drew? I talked about him quite a bit. Well last Tuesday was me and Drew's one year anniversary :)

God Bless

School, Shopping, Theatre, And A Happy Book

     I hate this end of school, dragging on, slower that a slug pulling a 20 pound weight along sand period. My school gets out June third so I'm down to 8 school days!!! It feels like forever though. Its like in those movies where someones dreaming or something and their running down a hallway but it never gets any shorter. Doors are rushing past you but you never seem to make it any farther down the hall. If I'm that person running I am starting to lose my stamina and I'm about to pass out! Most of my teachers aren't too bad. Keeping it simple, not too much homework, and what-not. The only problem is my English teacher/ class. Somehow she thinks we are going to finish the book The Chosen in 8 days. We were supposed to read the first four chapters by today and from everyone I talked to, I'm pretty sure I'm one of two of the people who actually read the chapters. I'm also pretty sure I'm the only person who did the worksheets. We had four chapters and 3 worksheets due today plus I had an Algebra test this morning, ugh! so basically I was up until midnight and still didn't get all the work finished. I did finish the work this morning but I'm now sleep deprived and worn out. This was not my first late nighter from English in the last two weeks either. Last week the band Third Eye Blind was having a concert in my town. Considering no one cool ever comes to my town I had to go. I bought two tickets (one for me and one for my cousin Marissa) the day they went on sale. I was SO excited! Then my English teacher assigned a project on Wednesday that was to be due Friday and the concert was Thursday. Crap. So what did I do? Blow off the project like most teenager coming home from a concert at 10:30 PM tired and with a stomach ache? Nope. That annoying little goody-two-shoes inside of me was screaming "NO! You must finish your project! You can't turn it in late! NO!" So, I stayed up until 2 AM that night and still did not finish the stupid project. AND I had already worked on it for 5 hours before I even went to the concert. So I worked on it all day in any free time I could possibly scrounge up during the school day. Then after 10 hours of works, sleep derivation and my hand looking like a bag of skittles from the magic markers I used, I was finally done with the project. So to sum up all this rambling and ranting I just did: English sucks, I'm an extreme goody-two-shoes, and school cannot end fast enough! Phew sorry about that, I needed to let that go before my brain exploded like a grape being sat on by the worlds largest (and heaviest) teddy bear.
     Now that I'm back to a normal brain functioning state, I can tell you about my weekend. I had a great weekend!!!! Friday night me, my mom, my dad, and Drew watched Tangled. Have you seen that movie!? I love that movie!!! IT was the third time I've seen it and I still laughed out loud! **SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN TANGLED DO NOT READ THE SECTION IN ITALICS** So I feel the need to share my favorite parts of this movie with you. So favorite song? I've Got A Dream. My favorite scene? When Rapunzel and Flinn are in the boat and they are completely surrounded by the floating lights! So cool! I decided after that, that my wedding will have a ton of lights! So many lights you may say there are too many lights!!! (If you haven't already guessed I love lights.) You know I think I'm going to write a blog post about my dream wedding someday but for now back to Tangled. The funniest part in my opinion? When they go into the Snuggily Duckling (I love snuggily ducklings.) and she meets all the thugs and they sing about what their dreams are. My favorite thug? It's a tie between the one who collects unicorns and the one who wants to be a mime. Favorite character? Pascel the camelion, I love him. Favorite quote? "Is that blood in your mustache sir? Look at this Blondie, look at all the blood in this mans mustache. That is a lot of blood." said by Flinn. Ok I'm done now. Back to my weekend. That Saturday I was woken up at 7 AM (ugh!) and me, my mom, my aunt, and my cousin Marissa headed off to this city a few hours away from my town. The entire way there my mom and aunt were singing oldies. Most teenagers and young adults would be completely embarrassed and be driven out of their minds by this but me and my cousin loved it. We were singing right along with them. Songs by the Carpenters, The Four Seasons, George Harrison, and many others. Once we finally made it to our destination we went shopping. The enjoyable pass time of many girls around the world. We shopped and shopped and shopped. I got to go to Urban Outfitters. Have you been to that store? I love that store! I wish we had one in my town. Finally we had to leave so we headed to our hotel to change and then met my aunts two friends to go eat then we went to see.... *Drum roll* Jersey Boys!!! If you don't know what that is, I'm sorry. I loved that show! It's now tied for my second favorite musical with The Music Man after Legally Blonde the Musical. If you know me and my love for musicals that is a very high honor. The show was amazing!!!! Great music, great story great acting! If you haven't heard of it here is an informational video. Watch it and be informed:

Like I said, I loved it! Then after the show we were parked next to the stage door and when we were walking to our car we saw the guys leaving and I got all four of their autographs!!!! It was awesome! Just FYI the guys in the video are not the ones I saw. I saw a different cast but I loved the cast I saw. The next day all we did the next day was again shopping. We went to a different mall and shopped and shopped and shopped. It was awesome. I ended up buying this thing called The Happy Book. Its full of all kinds of prompts for you to write about what makes you happy. I decided to share a couple of the prompts with all of you when I find one I really like so you can all do it with me! I will also share some of my answers to the prompt :) Well I've written a lot and if you've made it this far I thank you! and congrats on being a Dailey Hailey super fan! I'll end with my first Happy Book prompt :)

A Look Inside My Room

Its what you've all been waiting for!!!! A look inside the room, of the girl behind the blog!!! Oh.... So that's not what you've been waiting for? Oh... well.... here it is anyway. It doesn't match the awesomeness of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows but it may still be found interesting by some :)

Now you may be asking yourself  "what is that!?!?" Well that my friends is a cannibalistic banana. A one of a kind. Now you may be thinking I'm nuts, and I very well may be but I love my cannibalistic banana. It was made and given to me for my 15th birthday by my friend Sydney. I was a joke we came up with one day. I personally feel Sydney is awesome for making this :) Next to my cannibalistic banana is my Buzz Lightyear bear, I made him last time I went to Build-A-Bear :)

This is my piggy bank. His name is Pig as you can see by the tattoo below his ear. Not a very creative name but it suits him. As you can see Pig is orange and has purple spots all over him. He's not sick, that's just how I made him. You can also see Pig has a lips mark on his cheek, he's quite the ladies man ;)

This is Mr.Stuffy Wuffy but I call him Stuffy for short. Stuffy is one of my very best friends!!! He's also my oldest friend. I got him from the hospital I was born at. He's a little more old a worn than back then, but he still looks pretty good to me. When I first got him he was a darker shade of brown, fuzzier, and had a bright red ribbon rapped around his neck. When we first got our dog Milo he ripped off Stuffy's red ribbon and even ate part of his tag... Milo's not allowed around Stuffy anymore. I have loved Stuffy for years. For years I refused to sleep without him or I would cry all night. Over the years I've bought Stuffy clothes and accessories (skateboard, backpack, bear ipod, etc.) at Build-A-Bear. This is my favorite outfit of his: Overalls and a Cardinal's T-shirt. My family's ALL about overalls and Cardinal's baseball.



I don't know about you but I LOVE the Beatles. If your any kind of fan of them you should know the song Penny Lane. I bought this road sign at this Beatles show I went to see a while back. I have yet to actually hang it up in my room but I'm still trying to find the right spot. My rooms in the Attic of our house so my walls are kinda slanted.

This is my spoon collection! Yes that's right I collect spoons. You can find these little collectible spoons at tourist places everywhere!!! I started collecting spoons after my grandma died. She had the collection which my mom would always bring her spoons for from places we would go (my mom used to be a travel agent so we traveled a lot). When she died my mom gave her collection to me and I just started adding to it :) And yes next to it is a Rubik's cube, Tiger, an alien, and bubbles.

This is the bulletin board I have up in my room. On it I have pictures of me and my friends, stickers from places I've been to, posters from shows Ive seen, SOME of my button collection, my NFL (National Forensics League) certificate, and other little things.

This is a poster for the band VOTA. I saw them once at this thing my friend invited me to. I got the band to sign it!

This is a portion of my shoes. The rest of my shoes are all randomly spread around my house. In there I have 4 of my 5 pairs of converse. I love converse :) I have a blue pair, a gray pair, a black pair, a brown pair, and a pair of pink high tops! And yes those are posters of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Taylor Lautner, Michael Jackson, and Nathan Kress. My closet is covered in posters!

I love my pink high tops very much!

My movie collection! Full of hits such as A Hard Days Night, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Cheaper By The Dozen, Ferris Bullers Day Off, Grease, Harry Potter movies 1-6, Toy Story, and Twilight. Sadly though I do not own my favorite movie which is Pretty In Pink.

My book hall of fame! I have other books but these are my favorites. Theres the Harry Potter series, the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the Emily Windsnap series, the Twilight series (don't judge me their really good books its just the fan girls that suck), the Junie B. Jones series, Oliver Twist, Kiki Strike and the Shadow City, some Shel Silverstein books, Love That Dog, my choir tour journal, and my favorite book The Host.

This is my collection of VHS movies. I have almost every old Disney movie you can think of. With classics like Peter Pan, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, The Little Mermaid and others. I also have episodes from Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and some old McDonald's story's my grandma gave me :)

my stack of old albums. I like going to album shops :) This is one my mom found for me cause its my favorite movie. According to the guy working there its pretty rare. I also have Beatles Abby Road, Queens Flash, and an Electric Light Orchestra Album.

This is my ihome and my ipod. My ipod has a skin it on it of the painting Stary Night. The song I had playing was You Belong To Me by Patsy Cline. It's my favorite song :) The white ipod sitting next to it is my old ipod that likes to not work sometimes, which is why I got the new one.

Well that's a small look at my room. Hope you liked it, and if not, sorry.

God Bless
