"The Prestige."

TV Reviews

You have to kidding me. Elementary school? My dad's is Junior High level. Hm. I was excepted to said party. It was so fun.I left straight from track practice, in my B-E-A-utiful attire Lexi made me wear that day. I still haven't recovered. If only you knew how many strange looks I got the entire day. You would be crying. I wore red and white striped leggings, pulled up to my knees, with my Cat in The Hat sweatshirt. I looked like a Dr. Seuss character. To top it off, my foot-apparel consisted of my fluffy, pink slippers. From 4:00~6:00, we got ready for Bryan's surprise-welcome-home-and-late-birthday-party. It was so beautiful. We ate pizza, bread sticks, cookies, pop, and pie. we scooted around on scooters, danced, beat each other with balloons, played Guitar Hero, and made music videos at Kelsey's house. If I can, I will post the music videos on here. I can't even begin to describe them. After you've recovered from crying about my horrendous outfit, you'll start crying again from the beauty of the videos. We had to leave Kelsey's at 9:00, so we then migrated a block down to Wade's house. We watched his home-videos for a while, then we started watching Bruce Almighty, before the girls had to go; the boys were sleeping over at Wade's. Wade was censoring the movie for us, muting it when necessary, and muting unnecessary parts. So, all summed up, it was spectacularly fun.

Now, when was the last time I posted? Too long ago. My birthday was happy, and Valentines was happy. Kelsey was my valentine. Yeah, baby. I have to prove to Wade and Sharpie that I'm a party animal. What? I know. Don't ask me. I'll tell you if I'm excepted. So things have been getting better. Compared to when the school-year first started, I'm so much happier. The school year's almost 3/4 of the way done. Can you believe it? I can't either. I'm not the background collage anymore. I'm making my way to the picture that tells the story. That reminds me-our extended stout family wen and saw Minerva Teichert's display at the BYU art museum. Mana came to visit that weekend. Sadly, she was sick most of the time, and wasn't able to participate in Fillmore's 'many' activities. It is my turn to be sick, with a sore throat, stuffy nose, and severe ear pains. I'm hoping I will feel better in time for the first day of TRACK tomorrow! Oh yeah, baby! There's also a fireside tonight that I wish to attend. Recently I've heard many people sympathize for me on how terrible it must be to attend meek little Millard High, and recent move-ins have also made their complaints. On the contrary, I prefer to have a small school. I know either everyone's face or name, if not mostly both. Walking to every class, I can say hi to at least 5 people. It's nice. If your good buddy's not there, you can still talk to someone you know relativly well, and they know you some-what, so it's all good. You're close with everyone, the only problem is your personal life. Everyone knows if you're in a relationship. Half the school will know who you like-after one day of school-if you tell ONE person. It's crazy, but I love it. Speaking of which, I don't like anyone, but I've still 'got my flirt on'. "Flirting is a womans' trait; she must always keep in practice." This is true you see. I need to go work on my Easter dress now, so TTFN. Today the sky was beautiful. I was riding into my valley on the bus, and all of a sudden I felt like I was bathing in the sun. The clouds that had hovered over me for so long had made a circle in the sky, and left a patch of bright blue right over my head. The way ahead was clear of clouds, the sky was a brilliant blue, and the sun shone behind me. It seemed to say, "See, I've been here all along, and you've nearly forgotten me. I'm right here, I'm behind you."

'You can stand under my parasol'

So I'm in computers right now. I just got out of chorus, and Mr. Bob (Mr. Shields) gave me a B. geez. I'm I'm I'm....angry! (haha) He also let me explain what a downbeat is to the class, because I got an A on my test. That made me feel accomplished. hhmmm. I'm sitting next to Janette, who is playing a strange game on primarygames.com, while I listen to my iPod. That's right. I finally set up my iPod. I was thinking about the world's busiest intersection today. It's pretty cool. Nest to the Tokyu Hands book store. I remember when my mom took Lexi and I there once, and she bought me the 3 Frog & Toad books. She then took us to TGI Fridays for dinner. I think my dad met us there, too. That was a fun day. It's almost time to get out of class now, so I'd better go now. toodles. Why is it, that we tend to give our hearts to those who don't give in return? Though of the day.
Shoot for the moon; even if you miss, you'll land among the stars

'Stop the Snow, Stop the snow, Stop the Snow'

I'm tired of the snow! As Soon As the snow melts, it snows again. Argh. We had an exceptionally good Christmas and New Years. And guess what? Do you have the desire to know what? It's my birthday, that's what. And I'm excited. I'm very excited. I've been so talkative during school today, people probably thought I was rather weird. I don't blame them. I was unbelievably tired, yet extremely talkative. Strange mix. Ever had that problem? Yeah, I know how you feel. I'm sure I annoyed the pants off of people. And also guess what? The end of 2nd term was last Thursday, and once again, it's that time of the term, where our grades are finalized, marked, unchangeable, saved, and gone down in the book as such. I raised all but 2 of my grades compared to last term. School's looking pretty good. Making more friends. Oh yeah, baby.

So lets lie in the grass & stare at the stars & live through the moment, figure out who we are.

"Sleddin' in a Winter Wonderland"

Fall is officially over! We woke

up to a white winter wonderland on Saturday

morning. After lunch, I went sledding with

Lexi, Sam, Cortney, Rex, Ethan, and the two

Jessicas. Afterwards, Ethan, and Sam came

over to drink hot cocoa. After that, we watched

movies from our Tokyo Stake days.It was nice.

Lexi had to go to work, but after that, her and

Gina and Sam picked me up, later picking up

Kelton, then getting hot cocoa at Maverick.

~"Oh bring us some freakin' pudding."~ haha

On Sunday, we had our normal church routine.

At 6:00, we went to Christmas devotional,

subsequently singing in Messiah practice. We're

performing the Sunday after next. Yes, very

jittery. On Monday, we went sledding again,

because Gina wasn't able to go on Saturday.

At first, we went to North Park, but the hill

there was not adequate for sledding, so we

tried June Brush Hill, but it wasn't steep enough,

and there wasn't enough snow, so shortly after

this, we took Lexi to a work meeting, met up

with Spencer, Amanda, and Jessica Melville, then

went to June Hill(different from June Brush)

in Meadow, and had fun going down once.

We went home, decorated the Christmas tree,

watched Mr. Kruger's Christmas. Daddy

took Lexi and I to Maverick for hot cocoa,

then watched Elf. Today, me, Lex, Gina,

Spencer, and Amanda went sledding again,

this time at a hill in Holden. I had to bail

a million times, and got hurt more than

thrice. I got wet and muddy. It wasn't

pleasant. I stubbed my pinky, and hurt it so

bad, I couldn't move it. Ouch. Now I am

sitting on the couch, and I still need to clean

the bathrooms. Life is confusing me.

Here are some of my thoughts lately;

"It's a Wonderful Day in our Millard High"

Thursday was mid-term, and I despise my

grades! Mr. Greider gave me a B+! I worked

my butt off in that class, and I got a B+!

Gracious. we have our Christmas tree up, but

we only have lights on. It's time to get the

advent calendars out! It's so exciting! the Iron

Man was yesterday and continues today. Sweaty

guys in wrestling uniforms. I promised Baby

Ras I would go watch him, but when I went

yesterday, I didn't see him. I saw his family. The all look the same. They're so cute. Why must life be so confusing? Especially

social & personal lives. argh. It's exasperating.

Well I need to get ready to go sleding right now,

so hopfully I can post more today or tomorrow.

Best friend: the ones that you can only stay

mad at for an hour because you have important

stuff to tell them.

'Cause I had a Bad Day'

Saturday, we had a family party with the Stouts,

party-ed our guts out, then Lex and I went to

Noah, Sam, Caleb, and Angus's movie premiere

for their zombie movie. They had some guest

stars too: Eden, Leah, and Kelton of people that

I know. After that, Noah, Eden, Sam, and Ethan

came over to our house and we played Balderdash

(the new version) We had fun~Aquatic Pineapple

Bubble Shampoo, American Peanut Butter Association,

Big Bubba's Hot Chocolate...~fun. I've been feeling

nerdly lately. Sunday morning, I went to the

Camp's house, with Katie, Josh(Camp), Courtney

(Jensen),Sam, Jessica(Wall), Osten, Tito, Gabe,

and 2 girls from Delta, and "Carl drove the big

grey van" to TLT. We had fun. It was at USU,

where many 4-H activities are held. TLT is a

4-H activity thingy, where we basically learn...

how to be leaders..., pretty much the same stuff

as Teen Council. We did some cool science

experiments. Lots of people came and talked

to us. They told us about other 4-H groups we

could join, ways we could 'help around our

communities',and stuffs like that. Lunch and

dinner on Monday was in the Marketplace, and

in the words of today's youth, it was awesome.

There was a costume dance and karaoke on

Monday night, but I was sick, so I wasn't able

to attend. I decided USU is in my top 3 colleges.

BYU is still #1. I've really been wanting to

write a story lately. I will, eventually. Not

right now. The first term ended on the 19th.

My grades for the first term are;

English A, 93

Algebra A, 96

Chorus A, 105

Computers A, 94

Biology A-,91

Foods A, 102

PE A, 95

Seminary A, 107

Advisory A, 100
I was relatively happy. My GPA was 3.95.

Biology was amazing. At mid-term, I had

forgotten to give some assignments in, so

I had a C-. Despite my 3 Fs, I raised it to a

A-. Cool, huh? I think my end-of-term-test

was in the top 10 of the class. Happy day.

On Halloween, Lex and I were supposed to

take Mia and Noah trickor-Treating, but

Lexi invited Gina and Sam and Ethan too.

We then went to our ward party. Me Lexi

picked up our sleepover stuff from our house,

then went to Kaitlynn's birthday-party-

pioneer-dance. My goal for the night was to

Nate to dance. Katie and I come up with some

schemes, but we had to leave early. I confronted

him about it later, and he confessed to me

that he had. Yay. I did the finger polka, and

then danced the Virginia Reel with Sam. To

make sure all the girls had a partner, they

had each girl put one shoe in a pile, on one

side of the room. All the guys lined up on the

other side of the room, then when Carl yelled

go, they all ran to grab a shoe. Whoever's

shoe they grabbed, was who they danced with.

A whole bunch of guys went sliding in their

hurry, and slammed against the wall. Ouch.

Caleb grabbed 3 shoes-what was he thinking?

So Sam went up to him, and said "Give me

my shoe back!" Sam's shoe had fallen off, and

Caleb had grabbed it, thinking it was a girls'

shoe. Sam also took another shoe him, because

he hadn't got one. It was mine. I had fun with

Sam. He kept trying to fling me. haha So then

Gina, Lexi, me, Ethan, Sam, Kalem, and George

went to Gina's house,where we played Phase

10(I won) and went on a Halloween walk to

the 'Big House' next to Gina's house. I swear

it's haunted. Then, the guys left, and us girls

watched Premonition and The Notebook.

Cute! We finally went to bed, and Lexi and

Gina woke up at 7, whereas I woke up at

10. This is Thursday. We had SEOP's we had

to go to. It was pretty good. Sorta boring.

Friday was fun. Just one of those days where

everone seems to do something funny. I

Algebra, when we were supposed to be doing

assignment, Matt kept making kissing noises.

after a while, Dillon turned around to see what

was going on. The expression he pulled was

so funny. I started laughing. Embarassing.

In chorus I went to sit by Nate, since we were

both sitting alone. I had fun talking to him.

We talked about random stuffs. I get to sit

by him in 2 other classes. I sat with a seat

inbetween us, since he doesn't want to touch

girls. But not because they have cooties. haha

Nate's my buddy. We both get to be villagers

in the musical. So, I came home, watched my

younger siblings, helped Mom, ate dinner,

and ate cookie dough with Mom, while watching

The Princess Bride, and the new Freaky Friday.
