Creeper Status

February 28, 2011
I've made it through two whole months!! now just ten more to go :) 
Alright so I don't even know this kids name, but I just thought it was so funny how he was supposedly studying while texting at the same time and I'm not sure if this photo correctly portrayed that, but I love how people are so predictable sometimes. 
I aced the test he's supposedly studying for... turns out he's in my class haha who knew? today was long and crazy and about an hour ago I realized I'd forgotten to complete my FAFSA and it's due tomorrow so I stressed out and tried to scramble it all in only to find out I had been completing the wrong FAFSA form and it was a scam.. so thanks to Linnea I got on the right one and completed it without a hitch. That was eventful. haha I don't want to do that again. 
It's long past bed time for me and I plan on taking a nice long nap tomorrow afternoon because I don't have to work :) I love tuesdays! 
Goodnight World!

This is my hair, a little bit photoshopped and some light techniques added here and there. Fun stuff that photography :) 
My young women leader Nanette Summers got released today as the President of the Young Women. Sad day, but Mary Wargo was called as the new one so it's sad, but it'll be an adventure breaking in a new one just in time for me to be done. haha I love the church!

WHS POWERLINE

February 26, 2011
This was a wonderful Saturday. I worked from 11-1 with Jen then we met my mom at JoAnns to pick out fabric for my shirt for prom, then we all went out to lunch at Red Robin :) Then Jen and I went to Kelsey's game where they pulverized them again. Senior Night was a success and I got to play CW's mom in the lineup of parents. It was such fun. I love the wonderful people I've got in my life. 
Goodnight World.

It's not often the starters are benchwarmers.

February 25, 2011
Losers quit when they’re tired. Winners quit when they’ve won.
Oh fridays, you can all be this wonderful and I won't complain at all! Let me just tell you about my day. It started off really bizarre, but Brother Hayes makes seminary interesting no matter what, and turns out JoLee Fife is a cheater when it comes to doctrine and covenants charades haha we had a great time. That girl always makes me laugh. I offended Kelsey right off today, my big mouth shot off and I felt like a jerk before the words had even left my lips. I drew the T-shirt for Mr. Probasco that we presented to him tonight at the basketball game. Anyway! had a blast in Rollmans class as usual all we talked about was basketball and Kelsey slept. I sleep a fair amount in that class as well so I've got no room to judge. Then creative writing and we all shared our slam poems. I have a hard time making my poems about something specific, I'll post my slam poem and you can tell me what you think. In Mr. Bergs class we just laughed the whole time as usual, I love that class I just don't feel like I am learning much about government. Then I was Rollmans T.A. and we had a nice little chat about basketball. she's such a sweetheart. I left school and picked up Kaylee from work and we went all over town dress shopping! Julia's mom is crazy so we made it out of there pretty quick. we caught up on each others lives and had a heart-to-heart about Tallon. After I dropped her off I went home and spent some time with Adam and my dad going through old school papers. You find all kinds of embarrassing stuff when you do that. Then I went to Kelsey's game! It was kinda funny because we beat Homer by 60 points.. it was such a boring game.. I almost fell asleep there for a minute. Yolanda and Tallon both we sitting with me and I had a fun time laughing with Yolanda. After the game and I talked to Kelsey and Erik a bit I went home where my mom promptly announced we were going to see "I am number four" so I let her take me on a date to the movies : ) Wyler was working tonight and kept giving me a hard time for going to the show, that kids awesome. Anyway now I just got home, I'm thinking seriously about going to bed though because I can't keep my eyes open. I had a funny moment today though, I usually pray in my car because I spend a lot of time commuting in a day so I pray, well I have been so focused on BYU that when I said my prayer this time I was kind of at a loss of what to say. It was really silly to me. I'll find something else to pursue as soon as I gather my bearings. 
Time for sleep, Goodnight World. 
Senior Basketball night tomorrow, It's bittersweet. I got a balloon!

Friday, February 25, 2011

Today, my future changed.

February 24, 2011
Getting braces off after dealing with them day after day for two and a half years is always an exciting thing :) this boy is so stinkin' cute! and he said the family evening prayer tonight and blessed that all the girls wouldn't swoon over him haha what a ham. I didn't get accepted to BYU- Provo. Thank you for all your prayers, I had a nice long chat with Grandma Michele and I think things are going to work out just fine. I'm not worried and strangely at peace with the entire situation. I guess God's got bigger plans for me than I do for myself. 

Docs sick, Keri's sick and Kristy is complaining..

February 23, 2011
These are the young women of the Wasilla Ward of the Wasilla Alaska Stake of Zion in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I can't imagine a better group of young ladies. This was at our new beginnings this week and our leaders being super awesome decided to have our activity in PJs rather get all dressed up like we have every year in the past, it was lovely :) everybody was super comfy! and Mandy wore her footy pajamas :) Great and spiritual times to be had by all.

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

Love will go on

February 22, 2011
This lovely day was so bright and cheerful, silly how the smallest things can make you smile more than you thought possible. I spent most of the day in the art supply room searching for the perfect pieces to finish my second mosaic piece. I am so close to being done and can't wait to present it to Mrs. Rollman. 
I took a super difficult math test today during which we had an earthquake drill where they make everybody sit under their desks. I was the only one in my class who could fit comfortably underneath it. haha I figured out how to make it so it was almost more comfy sitting under my desk than in it.. Oh well. 
I baby sat some pretty adorable girls this afternoon and had tons of fun. I haven't watched TV in forever! 
Life is good, I'm excited for Kelsey to come home. I missed her today. Shoot, college is gonna kill me. haha It'll be a grand adventure! 
Goodnight World, I'm going to sleep early!

Because work is so completely empty some days




February 21, 2011
Life, love and the pursuit of happiness.
Lots of lovely little candies that are horrible for me, but oh such pretty colors!

Sunday, February 20, 2011

This coming week has the potential

February 20, 2011
Today was a pretty wonderful day and if I'm lucky I can continue with my crazy reading binge after I'm done with this. I've read the whole Percy Jackson series in a week. And don't get me wrong, I've done an awful lot this week as well. And there are 5 books each about 400 pages. It's been soo fun! I love the kids at church, they make me smile and remember that I've got real friends in every walk of life. My mom leaves in 18 days to pick up Andrea from her mission in England, and they'll be home like two weeks after that. I'M SO EXCITED!! :) 
this picture is because I want to be happy and remember the good times, rather than the ones I'm giving up. Life will go on and I'll be happier than ever once I start on this next new adventure named college at BYU-Provo :) :)
Goodnight World, please let things work out.

I find myself in you

February 19, 2011
Grand day where we found delicious pizza, a breathtaking prom dress and a few super humans. I'd say it was successful :) Can't wait to have prom pictures to post!!

Saturday, February 19, 2011

this is strange

February 18, 2011
Empty, unimpressive, baren. 
I'm ready for a new adventure, Christopher might be coming to visit and that would definitely be an adventure. I'm sick of things that are anticlimatic. I am so incredibly frustrated that my best friends refuse to go on our senior trip or to prom which means I'll be going solo or with people I don't really want to be with. I'm just pissed at them. I wish friendship was fair, you give a little, they give a little and it works out, you're both happy. This is not the case more often than not. I spent my day reading and finished two books, I haven't been that enthralled with a series since Harry Potter. The Percy Jackson series is kinda great, it's raw and immature which is exactly what middle school age students are. I'm already on book 4 and I started the first one on monday. I have no idea where I found time to read 3 books. Probably because I was an immature brat and just plugged into my ipod because I didn't want to deal with Kelsey and Yolanda. My bad. I just know when to not say anything. This is just that time of year, but we can't really not talk to each other because we have most of our classes together. It'd be ridiculous to sit right next to each other and say nothing. And I can't spend time with any of my other friends mostly because I don't know what kind of person Julia is turning into, but I don't think I like it. Then there is Kaylee who has always been there in my life, this never ending presence that I love dearly and I fear she is making the biggest mistake of her life. I can't spend time with her either because of that dirtbag she's dating who is just a big user. And oh hey, that takes care of the friends I've got. Don't even get me started on CW. I'm gonna sucker punch him one of these days. 
Sorry for the venting, I'm just so ridiculously upset currently and there really isn't anything I or anyone else can do about it. I hope my acceptance letter from Provo comes soon to give me something solid to look forward to. I can't wait for Andrea to come home so I can hug somebody everyday. I think that's what it boils down to, I just need a hug haha it's strange how many healing powers reside in one simple hug. 
I'm done rambling, Goodnight World, day with Jen and Nick tomorrow: prom dress shopping/movie/furniture for the new house!/Coulsons b-day party :)

Filing Filing Filing

February 17, 2011
Super lame, but so am I today. These are lovely x-ray files at work. 
Generally unimpressed at what life offered me today. I love my coworkers and their ability to always remind me how to smile and laugh and be goofy. and getting old doesn't mean growing up. It's lovely and I'm so grateful I've got all those girls as my role models, even if that isn't always the case.

I should clean my room... 11:11!

February 16, 2011
We are the defenders of the future. 
This is what usually shows up of our youth group. I love each of these goons for their little quirks. Us girls pulled off a pretty wonderful dinner tonight. The theme was "don't get tied down to one person" so we all gathered around my dinner table and our hands were tied to the persons next to us so we had to work together to eat haha it was so great and turned out better than expected. Obviously I didn't take this photo, but I believe it correctly depicts what kind of a day I've had. I was completely exhausted for most of it, but I finished my story of Casey's funeral for creative writing (to be posted later) and I got all my math homework done so I feel pretty great about today. I got to nap for a bit after school too because I got to the office before anybody else. It was wonderful. Grand day! :) 
Goodnight World, tomorrow is a big one too, get ready for it.

Everybody gets egged once in awhile.. angry face

February 15, 2011
Alright so the first picture is what happens when you go to pick your brother up from basketball practice and the siblings of his team mates think it's funny to make eggs splatter and freeze while obscuring your view. jerks. 
The second picture is my picture of the day. The sunsets have been amazing around here lately. I love it! 

be vewwy vewwy quiet, I'm huntin' wabbits!

February 14, 2011
This day was so wonderful : ) I got up and left the house when Cache and Haley came to pick me up before 6:30 am then we stopped by Joes to load him in too and we were off! we drove for over an hour past Sutton, unloaded the snowmachine, bundled all up then went around pretending to be Elmer Fudd for the next few hours. It was so much fun! and such a beautiful day! Granted it was about 5 degrees the whole time we were outside, but we thawed out in no time. I love those three, we had such a fun time and I still made it back in time to go to work thanks to Cache's expert speeding abilities. It was great fun, I'm so glad they asked me to come and be part of something different for awhile. 

Sunday, February 13, 2011

And when you can't figure out how to rotate your pictures...

February 13, 2011
So the dreadful day descends upon us.. so I'm going hunting haha I got invited by this couple I really admire to go hunting with them in the morning before work so off I go! It'll be a blast. I had a great day and church was really inspiring and the kids I go with are super silly. I love having experiences like these. On the other hand I am the stereotypical single on Valentines day girl and I just spent an hour reading in the bathtub trying to drown my sorrows (no pun intended) I haven't succumbed to the chocolate yet because lets face it, that would be terrible for my diet and it would just make me sick the rest of the day so there will be no chocolate for this girl. haha I'm off to sleep because we've got an early day tomorrow, I finally get a legitimate day off school and I choose to get up at the same time.. sabrina, you've got to work on that. 
Goodnight, World. Pray for BYU!!

I saw you watching

February 12, 2011
Dancing soul. 
Hey those are my feet :) Today was an adventure, as everyday should be. I went to work and feel all official because I finally got a key to the office so I'm all official and stuff. haha the day was warm and lovely if you were inside... so I spent most of my time sitting with my mom talking about everything, till I passed out and woke up two hours later to find an empty house. Then I went to the mo-down and had a grand time dancing with everybody. It was one big party. I danced with more people then I have in many many dances. It was splendid. 
And Chris just made my night because he may be coming up to visit for awhile soon, just maybe. It'd be great!
I'm off to bed. Goodnight, World. I can't wait to hear from BYU-Provo. It's going to be such fun to go there!!

Saturday, February 12, 2011

It snowed :)

February 11, 2011
Remnants of spring, come back to us. 
I love this whole winter thing, but I've got such cabin fever and I can't wait to graduate. Today was a senior skip day for me.. I see many more of these in my future. 
I just want things to get better. I really feel bad about how things have shaped up, I can't stop thinking about it and my mom keeps telling me I need to. I know I need to, I am trying so hard. I love that girl, i just want to forget about it all. It's not worth ruining our friendship and the end of our senior year over. Of course neither was the time she "broke up" with me.. funny stuff. We've been through a lot and I have no doubt in my mind we'll make it through this. She is the person I want to walk with at graduation and the one I want next to me when I get married. all that jazz. I think to truly love somebody you've got to accept all the dumb, quirky, hilarious, silly, goofy, irritating, lazy and wonderful things about them. 
Sorry, I know I go on about stuff like this all the time. Let's just leave it as I know what's right and I know what's going to make us happy. Now I've just got to get on the same page. 
By the way, I absolutely love Yolanda : ) haha I know you read this blog and it's so nice to have you out there reading and giving me feedback and (sorry for this lately) being the middleman with me and kels. You're a wonderful friend and I can't tell you how grateful I am that you have joined our merry little band to make us the three musketeers! 
Goodnight, World. Work and a dance with a used to be cripple tomorrow! 
I can't wait to get my acceptance letter from BYU-Provo!!!

What a beautiful mess I wish I was in...

February 10, 2011
Things like these cannot be staged. 
I think I'm taking tomorrow off too.. from all the craziness and rude people. From best friends who have the ability to drive me absolutely up the wall. From all the pressure of my oncoming doom of college and life. From thoughts of never seeing people I love again. From disappointments like Canada. From Prom. From Valentines day (which by the way I want to punch everyone) From Seminary. Pretty much from everything. I'm just fed up and have senioritis like nobodies business.. this could be a bad thing. I've still got a couple months and the sisters come home soonish so there's that good news to look forward to. And Jen gets her house soon-ish, and Chris is coming to my graduation in May. who knows, it could be amazing. I just wish I was able to be happy towards Kelsey again. After she canceled our Canada trip I've just been so depressed, that's what I was working for, it was going to be our big bang, that was going to be the thing that we remembered about each other for the rest of our lives. We were going to have so many crazy fun stories of all the ridiculous things we were doing. I am just having a difficult time coming to terms with the fact that all the money I've saved and the time I've spent thinking about this trip has all been for nothing. But I'll get over it. Eventually. One day. haha I'm working with God on this whole positivity thing, it's a work in progress. Sorry if you just sat there and read all of this.. haha there's a few minutes of your life you'll never get back. 
Goodnight World. I'm ready to start my new life. I hope I get accepted to BYU-Provo!!

I hope you skate

February  9, 2011
I don't have much to say about this one, except that I love my ward and the goofy activities we do on wednesday nights. It is so much fun :)

Tuesday, February 8, 2011

She's seeing other guys, emotions are stirred.

February 8, 2011
I didn't accomplish anything with this day.. and that's okay with me.. I got up for seminary this morning, texted a few people so they'd know I wasn't coming to school today then headed home where I slept till noon. Granted not the whole way through, but I didn't get out of bed till noon. It was delightful. I got up, watched a movie then got ready for the basketball game tonight. Jen went with me, it was entertaining. We won by 8 points I think.. something like that. It was a good game, real close the whole time. Suck on that, Colony. I had a nice little chat with Nan about the occurrence of yesterday and she held on to me tight for a few minutes. I love it when people can just tell you need a hug. I realized I haven't been hugging nearly as much as I used to.. maybe it's because my best friend freaks out with any physical contact.. still don't understand that one. I dunno. all I know is that my algebra homework is not doing it self right now. Off to no sleep. 
Goodnight World. The sun'll come out tomorrow!

Monday, February 7, 2011

The first cut is the deepest

February 7, 2011
Today was not the best day of my life. I'll just leave it at that because I don't want to wallow in it. 
Cw is going to take me to church prom in March. and sometime this year I'm going to go to disneyland alone and stay with my cousins for a few days just to get the heck out of here for any length of time. I love my best friend, but I really don't like her right now. 
I love my mother because when I had such a whopper of a bad day she still brings me my favorite drink and sugar free chocolates. I love that woman so much. She's the best anyone could ever ask for and I'm so grateful. 
Things will look up tomorrow. When I can stop crying. 
Goodnight World, 
Girl with sad, red, swollen and puffy brown eyes.

February 6, 2011
I always have the hardest times on Sundays. Probably because most of the photo taking opportunities I had today were at completely not kosher moments.. haha But this is a page out of a book I altered, another one of my pieces. They aren't great, but I'm working on the whole artistic thing, I have never really been crafty by any means, but recently I've felt the need to express myself through crafts or photography and the like. It's strange transitioning from who you think you're supposed to be and what you want to become. 
Today was wonderful. I love going to church, those kids just love me for me and it hasn't always been like that. So it's a good thing. And I had a nice long discussion with my sister who is 100% twitterpated at the moment and it is absolutely adorable : ) 
I'm off to bed because I just realized what time it is and I have a long day tomorrow..

I'm on a quest for the world.

February 5, 2011
Although maybe all these moments are just in my head
I'll be thinking ‘bout them as I'm lying in bed
And all that I believe might never really come true
But in my mind I'm havin' a pretty good time with you
 
Oh boy, you make me laugh and I think that's all I need right now. Everyone could use more laughter in their days and you make mine better. I don't want to get in over our heads, I'm leaving soon anyway, but for now, lets make some memories.
My thoughts are so incredibly scattered this evening, it's been a great day. I went to the world quest competition with all of those kids at school I wish I hung out with more, the ones that are just sweet and you remember how much you like them when you get to spend time together, but then school comes on Monday and nothing has changed. That's life and high school I suppose. My team got 4th place out of 30 : ) for the past few years I've been in a group with the same three people and we had such a blast at world quest and were actually doing pretty well there last year. Then Paul moved away and that group was shattered. So the other two members of the group stayed together and our adviser put me in a group with a few kids I didn't know anything at all about. And they won. kinda sad, kinda glad. it was a good time and on the ride home me and Marty quizzed each other on the awesome 80's music that kept coming over the radio on the bus. It was great fun! I came home and had a nice little chat with my momma like I always do, now I think it's bed time once more. Church tomorrow! 
Buenos Noches World :)

Improv Night

February 4, 2011
This photo pretty much sums up what everyone was feeling about this day. Oh CW Twohy, I love you :D
The day went well, I endured my classes and finally grouted my first mosaic piece. It's turning out well and I hope it stays looking good over the weekend so I can finish it on Monday. Tyler asked Sariah to prom!! and he brought her flowers and everything. It was kinda spectacular so if anybody wants to mention something like that to a certain boy who is taking far too long to ask me, or I'm far too impatient.. haha could easily be either one. Even if it all doesn't work out, it won't be the end of the world and it's only one night. That one night also happens to be state championship for basketball.. so I'll have plenty to do. 
Improv night was tonight, and I think it was my last show. I'm not doing it next month and I doubt I'll come back for the last two shows, it's been good and tonight was wonderful, but I just don't feel like it's an environment I need to be in anymore. I'm not sure why I feel that way, but I'll make sure to stay where I'm supposed to be. 
Scumbag came to the show tonight because I made the mistake of texting him that it was tonight. I have his number deleted from my phone and I still have it memorized. I've got to work on that one. I wonder how you unmemorize something? I'll figure something out. I had a nice chat with God about him though so I feel much better, like I can actually start moving on because he really doesn't matter and he's just a big old jerk face anyway. I feel better for saying that haha 
Goodnight World. Worldquest competition tomorrow, wish me luck!

Thursday, February 3, 2011

February 3, 2011
I find this girl in practice rooms in the music department at the most wonderful moments. Even though I don't agree with some of the choices she's made, I still am so very glad to have her in my life to make sense of everything when nothing makes sense. We discovered huge driftwood land together, we will go back many times before I have to leave this place I love so very much. We have not always been the most considerate of one another, but through all the bruised knees, knocked over trees and those pesky park fees I have fallen madly in love with this state and all the diversity it has to offer. And I don't just mean turning your thermostat from hot to cold to hot again all in one day. I mean the quiet little back roads that lead to wondrous places like airports or empty log cabins, or just beautiful trees that fly by as you speed too fast away from civilization. 
Enough about that I suppose. I had a strange day, but I got so much done at work! my boss was stressing me out because I couldn't move forward till he wrote a note or two.. and we got a little behind, but all is well now! I took my colored pencils to school that Linnea bought for me for Christmas, all 50 of them :) and drew Marty a super fun picture while we were watching the state of the union address in government. Man I hate it when Mr. Berg is gone, it's super lame. that's one of the joys that comes with basketball season I suppose. This season has been better than the other 3 as far as Kelsey and me are concerned. I still want to spend time with her, and her with me. I think it's because we realized we don't have much longer to just be together. Yolanda and me were talking this morning about college and such, and I got really scared because it's all so big and scary. I know it's going to be a wonderful adventure, but until then.. getting there is going to be a long and terrifying journey. 
Wish me luck, World. I'd really appreciate any prayers to be spared in my behalf, I want to go to BYU-Provo so badly. just a couple more weeks till I get my acceptance letter. If they would stop postponing the deadline.. haha

I'm so creeper status today

February 2, 2011
Although I may not be the sneakiest person, this one was totally unintentional haha I arrived early at the church for youth group and I had to go run errands to waste the time, but as my mind often does.. I got lost in thought and turned into the school parking lot instead of going to run errands and sat there for a good 3 minutes before I realized my folly. I guess that seminary routine really stays with you after a bit. 
Today was wonderful! I have the very best girlfriends a girl could ask for! Sometimes I just want to be a jerk and Kelsey holds me back which has happened a surprising amount lately... And Yolanda always giggles with me :) 
I got a 100% on my math quiz! that's a number I haven't been seeing around lately and I got so ridiculously excited when I found. well It's far too late to go into depth of anything, and my brain is steadily losing power... 
so Goodnight, World. please pray that I will get accepted to BYU-Provo.

Tuesday, February 1, 2011

You are the wind beneath my wings.

February 1, 2011
In this puzzle of life, will you help me lay the pieces?
Today was the day to accomplish things I suppose. I went to school all day, had a few interesting and confrontational conversations, spent a whole lot of time with Kelsey which was nice. I love that girl. After school I went to the office to pick up my paycheck, to the bank, paid my bills, went home, cleaned my room, made my bed, applied for a scholarship, got rid of some more clothes and random stuff I have on my way to decluttering my life, helped my mom, made dinner, folded the laundry, did more laundry, wrote two letters and all before dinnertime. Whew! I'm exhausted just thinking about it. haha  but I feel so accomplished, I can go to bed... as soon as my sheets get done drying so I can actually go to sleep anyway... haha :) 
Goodnight World.
