wow

Wow, I realized that I have not written it quite a while! I guess that is because nothing has been going on. I was sick Sunday through Tuesday! It was terrible!! I had the worse feeling in the world!! In my family, at least Beth and I, we have strong stomachs and hardly ever throw up; this illness, whatever it was, actually made me vomit! That is how bad I felt!! Luckily, nothing much happened at school those two days because most of the kids were still in Europe from the Spring Break trip. Thursday was the huge eighth grade Shakespeare trip that they have every year! This year we saw The Count of Monte Cristo. It was so great, I was on the edge of my seat! I loved it. In seventh and eighth grade at Phillips, the students read Shakespeare; this year we are reading The Tempest! So far it is really good. We are almost done with Act 1. So, going on to a new subject, the purity ring! I got one and wear it every day! Beth gave me a beautiful ring she got a few years back! I love it so much! So much is coming up in May! I am so excited for Tracy's side of the family to come! I hope you all have a safe trip!Then, Sharon's shower will be great fun! My school is also doing some work to reach out to the Child Advocacy Center, which is a center for abused children. The same day as Sharon's shower from 10-4 we can go down to a Food World in Saraland and bag groceries for tips! All the tips will go to that center in honor of those children and in memory of the people of the Holocaust. Then, graduation/Honors day id May 8 I believe, and May 9 is the eighth grade spring social. Now, the chorus is preparing once more for one last performance! The last day of school is the eighth grade ceremony sort of event. We are singing tons of great and heart warming songs plus one up beat song called We're All In This Together from a movie that everyone likes but me! I don't like the song or the movie!! But I will make it look like I am having fun with it! Hey, that's life, you always have to do things you don't want to do. School is ending fast, my friend told me Friday that there were only 19 days left! We are all get rambunctious, soon we will go our separate ways and be in High School. We are going from the top dogs to Freshmeat, sorry, Freshmen. Oh and Winter Gaurd try outs are soon! Beth and I have got to get to practicing! I need to get this stuff down packed! Well, that sums it all up! I need to hang on, it's almost over!

Great weekend.

So, not much has been going on lately. This weekend has been OK though, and Friday was AWESOME!! Friday at school was the talent show in the morning! My friend Rockii, as we call her won!! She sang a wonderful song! I can't remember what it was though. Oh did I mention we got to be out of uniform. We got to wear our spring fling shirts and jeans! So obviously, that tells you Friday was also our Spring Fling! It was so much fun! they had a little dance in the cafeteria, and my friends and I went in TWICE!! My legs still hurt! I danced with my friend, Kimphung, and we all found our guy friend, Michael, and made him come in the dance with us! He had a great time and so did we! He was saying he could not dance, but eventually he picked up some of the dance moves! He is so good! I can't wait to see him at the Social! Victoria and I said he had to dance with us at the social! All he could say was OK, because we were so tired from dancing! Oh, back to the weekend! I am so excited because the Lord of the Rings triology has been on! Today they are showing all three back to back! The secong one is on right now! It is my fave! So I had better stop rambling and get back to it! BYE!

Maybe....

Wow, a lot going on right now! Well, SAT;s start soon along with the ARMT. and almost everyday this week I have 1 hour to 2 hours of practice for my upcoming Spring Show for chorus! It is a hassle! Spring Fling is VERY soon. That will be a fun day! Two weeks ago the 8th graders got our t-shirts! they are so cool.(I will have to post a picture later) Spring break is coming slowly. Oh, and I was surfing the net today and I ran across a site about purity rings. I had heard of them but never really understood about them. As I was reading I became very interested in the concept! So I have made a decision to get one! I am going to tell Mom in the car tomorrow when she picks me up from school. I just know she will be thrilled. I am really excited. I have seen so many expensive ones, but I do not need an expensive gold one with diamonds, just simple sterling silver. I don't need much to show a promise to God and myself. Here are the three ones I am debating between.
1st pick: http://www.purityrings.com/Sterling-Silver-Protected-Heart-Purity-Ring.aspx
2nd pick: http://www.purityrings.com/Ladies-Sterling-Silver-Everlasting-Heart-Purity-Ring.aspx
3rd pick: http://www.purityrings.com/Sterling-Silver-BUTTERFLY-Love-Waits-Purity-Ring.aspx
Please leave a comment with your favorite, it may help me pick. I will make a new post telling you what mom said.

In Memory

Grandma suggested that i write a little something about my dad. So, while I think of something to write, I thought you all might enjoy a poem I wrote for him. A few weeks ago, my language class started the poetry unit. This is one of the poems I have written.

In Memory

His memory is all I have
There to comfort me.
In times of sorrow
Tears well up
Fall like rain.
In dreams
His voice calls
A deep bass sound
Images while I sleep
So clear, I swear he is there.
His stature so bony
From his battle with Cancer.
He was so good to me
Like a best friend
My life, my inspiration
Came from this one man.
No one can replace
The place in my heart
Big as a melon
Reserved only for him.
Now all I have is my memory
Of my always beloved dad

mini date

Hi, well, I have not written in a while. So i thought I would update you on my relationship! Friday was one week, hurray! Today(Saturday) was our first mini date. We went to see The Eye w/ a few of our friends! It was really cool, because we were both scared that we burried our heads in eachothers shoulders! It was fun!! then after the movie was over we stayed at the theater for like another 2 hours. We played games and Trevor won me a cute little dragon. Of course Kelton and him fought over it for some reason and she ended up ripping the foot off. That's ok, I sewed it back on. I challenged Trefor to a motorcycle match. I was in first, but he came out of nowhere and crashed me, I came in second. Oh well! It was tons of fun!

YAY

So, I called Trevor and we started talking about what happened at lunch today. I mentioned him asking me out and he said it! He said, "Do you want to?" I thought, to build up tension, then replied with a yes!!! So now we are going out!

I could just kick myself!

Yesterday, in chorus, i was going to try out for a solo for our upcoming Spring Show. Well when I started singing, i sang about half of the line and gave up because I thought I sounded terrible! I was so mad at myself for giving up, and as it turned out, i sounded really good! My friend did not tell me this until that afternoon or else I would have gone back up there. So when I got to lunch, I was really mad and upset. While I was walking to lunch, my dear friend Marie was trying to tell me not to be mad because something great was supposed to happen in the lunch line. She didn't do a very good job of telling me not to be mad or try to act happy and she had promised not to tell me what was to happen so I had no idea. Well Trevor got in line behind me and he knew something was wrong but I did not talk to him, so he dropped it. Today Marie and I were talking, and she told me what was supposed to happen. Trevor was going to ask me out that day!!!! Since i was mad, he didn't risk making me even more upset, but that would have made me so happy! I would have forgotten about my solo gone bad!!! So now I have to wait even longer for him to ask me out!!! I could have kicked myself when she told me today!!!So I'm going to call him later today, maybe when i finish typing this, and talk to him. I hope all of this made a little bit of sense. That's all for now! Bye
