The 1st of about one billion blogs i will post about American Idol

Last night I watched American Idol for the first time since they were sending people to Hollywood. I don't really like watching it until the competion actually starts getting good. The guys were up, and I only got to see from the guy that was up second, to the very last person, and I've already picked 3 favorites. In the order of most liked, they would be...

1. Chris Sligh
2. Blake Lewis
3. Nicholas Pedro

I like the 1st two the most because....I dont know, i just like them and Nicholas is hott =P lol, I havnt heard any of the girls, and i doubt i will for awhile because they sing on wednesdays, and vertical's on wednesdays, so oh well...[sidenote: no guy will ever be as good as chris daughtry!]

Typing without using your index finger is weird

Nothing has really happend that important recently...and nothing i really want to talk about here, but ya I have no idea how im gonna be able to keep updating this blog with school. I dislike budgeting my time =P On another note, I cut my finger today. Its loverly on my left index finger, near my nail, with a bandage over it, so it makes it hard to type. So instead of typing with my index, im typing with my middle. Its kinda weird, but ill get used to it eventually. Today is Mias[my sister] 13th birthday as well. So I'm gonna have to celebrate that tonight. Another, more special day for her getting all of the attention. *rolls eyes*
soo, ya nothing interesting happening. I'll blog later...

9th Period is the Best =P

Sunday afternoons suck. Especially when you have nothing to do and when you've just had a week off, with a super easy day on friday before break, with 2 snow days before that. It's like, I don't want to wake up at 5:30 just to be picked up by a smelly bus at 7:15 then by 12:30 you're like, all I have to do is get through 4 more periods...3 more periods...2 more periods...1 more period...You get my point. It just bores me to death. Tech and Art have got to be the most boring classes ever invented. I'm like, I dont care how to shade pink and blue colors the way you[Mrs.Flint] think is the right way, or how to work machines that I will never see again in my life. So ya, boring.

Price Chopper is Better.

So today some the Nine12 youth group + a few of the VPT headed up to Samuel's Coffee Shop. It's actually a pretty nice place than what I thought it was going look like. We were split into a few different groups when we got there. Cleaning and re-organizing the [OUTSIDE] basement or painting inside, or cleaning inside. At least, I think that's what the groups were, anyway I chose to clean and re-organize the basement, thinking, oh we won't stay out there for too long...right...well the basement was more like a bomb shelter, with a bomb that exploded within it...and nobody bothered to clean up after it. But that's why we were there! We picked up stuff that looked like they haven't been touched in months, and brought it up the stairs onto a blue tarp if they wanted to keep it, or chuck it into the dumpster that was a few more yards away if they didn't want it. So after about a hour of doing that, my toes were freezing off, but thankfully Mrs.Matula had to recycle glass bottles at Hanaford, and invited Caroline, Alicia and I to come with. I wasn't the only person with their feet freezing off! So are feet warmed up when we took off our shoes and our feet against the heaters in the car, but our shoes were still wet/cold. So after we helped Mrs.Matula bring the bottles in, we found the restroom, and dried our shoes with the hand drier.[like hair driers only..for hands. hahaa] =P Although we looked like idiots, it worked really well. Then we helped with the glass bottles and such, and headed back to the coffee house about 30 minutes later[we had some difficulties with the glass] and we came back to a much cleaner basement. All we had to do was bring some stuff off the tarp downstairs and re-organize somethings, then went back inside to some very good hot chocolate w/ whipped cream. yumm. Then there was pizza later on, but I was feeling uneasy after having the hot coco. Then we headed out, and on the way back we talked about Missions[?] stuff, and going with a group of people, learning for 3 months, then going out and doing stuff for 9 months +. I forget the word exactly that was used...but i think its totally awesome! I would so love to do that. Now if we could just pay for it...

My Top 10 Songs.

I gave it some thought, and now here are my top 10 fav songs on my iPod. You can ask why, if you want, but the reason I wont give reasons for every individual song is that i would take a long time to write =P If you want to check out the lyrics, just click the title of the song.

1. "Hurt" - Thousand Foot Krutch
2. "Stars(From the Mount Wilson Observatory)" - David Crowder Band
3. "New Design" - Thousand Foot Krutch
4. "Plc.4 Mie Haed" - Linkin Park
5. "Satellite"/"Thinking About Forever" - P.O.D [tie]
6. "Hero" - Superchick
7. "I Climb" - Thousand Foot Krutch
8. "The War" - Angels and Airwaves
9. "Run" - Kutless
10. "Everything to Me" - Avalon

These songs are newish, to pretty old, but that's because I didn't exactly get to choose the songs I got to have on my iPod...And I am going through an obsession with TFK...lol

Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow.

Around 2:15 yesterday my dad dropped me off at Crackerbarrel on a very snowy afternoon for mrs.matula to bring me to her house. Well I guess I was a little earlier than I thought, and mrs.matula said I could sit in a rocking chair across from where the cooks are and the waiters/waitresses go until she was done. Not that I was complaining, I love the rocking chairs they have there. Anyway, when I sat down in the rocking chair I didnt notice what was attached to back of it. I didnt fully realize it was there until i started rocking -cause, it IS a rocking chair- and then I felt something hit my back. I thought it was some little kid -which was stupid on my part because there were NO little kids around, duh- and I just kept rocking...*hit*...rocking...*hit* and it just got so annoying. I couldn't very well get up and see what it was, because I would've looked weird with all of the people around, and I didnt want to move to the rocking chair across..but I guess I looked stupid already. So I decided not to lean back and forth anymore. Then the power went off. Have you ever been in school when the power goes out and all of the kids are like YES! Well it was exactly like that, only much, much quieter. Only I dont think the people that were eating there liked it very much. Then about 5 seconds later it came back on. Then about 5-10 minutes later, mrs.matula was done, and she said we could leave. So I got up, anxious to see what was on the back of my rocking chair. It was some pink colored gaytarded bunny cover for the rocking chair with a huge carrot in its hand, [I figure that the carrot was the thing kept hitting my back] which they were trying to sell. It was 10$. I personally would've only bought it for 1 dollar, but whatever. So after a few stops, we eventually got to the matulas.
I spent about 2? hours there with caroline, alicia, and sarah until mrs.matula told us to start to get ready to go to Willard Mt. to tube! So I got all dressed up, from my hat to my socks, and waited inside until somebody else got done getting ready. Then Joey called and said, "Is your refridgerator running?" then hung up. Then Alicia, Caroline and I called him back, and yelled "N00B!" when he picked up, then hung up quickly. It was really funny. Then we started to burn up, and waited outside for awhile. Then I picked up some snow, expecting it to be all fluffy, when it stuck together when I packed it. Then I told alicia, and hit the snowball with my foot. That sparked interest with her, and we attempted to play hackysack with the poor snowball. Unfortunetly, everytime we either kicked it, or fell on the ground, it fell apart. It's not like we couldn't have made many, many others, it's just that it got kinda boring, and we both suck at hackysack. So then I just threw the snowballs as far as I could at the driveway. Then James got dropped off, then we all just hung out until Karl and family, and Jon R came. They couldn't make it up the steep driveway up the house, so they walked up the hill. Although we ran down the hill to meet them, which was pretty funny. Then mrs.matula told us that we can't go tubing because Willard was closed. Then about 5 seconds later, the Wises pulled up...halfway at least. Then we ran down to them again, and told them about the news, then Jon randomly pounced, or at least that's what it looked like, on Joey or was it Willy? I don't remember. But yea, that was really funny, then we had about an hour long snowball fight then a poor game of capture the flag because everyone was too exahusted to even attempt to play. Except Karl, of course. Then we went back inside into the warmth, and took off the wet clothes, got into dryer clothes, and hung out for a little bit. Either watching Left Behind on the partially crowded couch, talking in the kitchen, or talking in carolines room/on the stairs. Then at around 8 my mom picked me up at crackerbarrel to bring me home.
I got home at around 8:45ish, and I didn't even bother to watch the rest of american idol, [not that its anygood this season anyway] I just went straight to bed. I slept for a good 11 hours, with a few rude awakenings from my dogs, I slept like a rock. then this morning when I woke up, my back and my shoulders were, and still are, SO sore! Its ridiculious! haha. So today I have nothing planned to do, and its gonna be so boring, so if anyone decides they want to do something, call me!!!
Then tomorrow the high school youth group, nine12, is going up to samuel's coffeeshop to clean up or out their basement. Although i'm not technically allowed to go, because im in middle school, I can, and the rest of the VPT, can go because...well i dont know exactly why, but i know we can go. Hopefully I won't be as sore tomorrow...

Yesterday was pretty sweet, and i'm so happy that I got to spend it with you all. ily=D

So about Star Wars

It was OK. I can't say I loved it, but it was better than I thought. I can..kinda say that I'm not a n00b anymore. And I promise you, if any of you people, yes you, you, you, and you, say that I'm a n00b one more frickin time, i'll smack your heads together. =P

Also, Paul. I'd rather you NOT read my blog anymore if you're going to keep critizing it like you were doing last night. If you do keep reading it, don't express your dumb ass sarcastic comments.

So in the past few days

[in no order]

I've been badly insulted.
I've been sad.
I've been happy.
I cried.
I've been hurt, emotionally.
I've realized that I unfortunetly have barely any empathy.
I can't do anything right.
I've prayed with a friend.
I've been cursed at.
The world became strangely real.
I don't say what i'm feeling, but I expect people to know how I feel.
And I wish that it would come true.
Had a sleepover.
Went over to a friends house.
I want stuff I can't have.
I realized that what I want, won't come for a very long time.
And it hurts.

Rationalization is a big word.

Something recent just happend to my friends, and it made me so totally pissed off. But everyone else had their own way of dealing with what was happening, and it made me think about it.

3 Ways people vent...that i know of...dont take this as something that you should cherish forever =P

1. Rationalization- You do have a little emotion about whatever just happened, but you think it through and you rationalize it. You think about both sides, not just one. You think, how did this person act, how they're feeling and why they acted that way. Then how the other person is feeling about the action that was taken, and the action they will take...
[Sorry if that just made no sense to you...]

2. Emotional- Depending on the situation, you could be so totally pissed off, that there is no way you could possibly rationalize crap. You run on that emotion, and run until you eventually cool down, then see that there are two parts of the story, not just one. But by then, damage could already be caused.

3. Ignorance- You block it out. You aren't accepting the reality that is going on around you. You don't take it in, and you let it continue around you, while you wait for everything to fix itself on its own. You basicly numb yourself to the situation, and pretend that everythings fine.

Idk, its just something i felt like posting. Have fun.

Thank you to Alicia, for helping with the post =]

My Views

My opinions on a view main things...

Politcs/The War: I tend to lean to the Republican/Conservative side alot more than i do the Liberal side. I like to support the president, more than bash him. I think it's a sign of real weakness of the country when we don't stand behind our president, I mean come on, most of you people DID vote for him incase you forgot. And I do support the war. We can't just leave there and come home and leave everything to the terrorists. Also, i firmly believe that if we do leave, they'll start attacking the United States.

Abortion: Unless for some strange reason it is absolutely necessary you have to get an abortion, i'm all against it. It's you're own fault you got knocked up.

Gay Marriage or Homosexuality: I think he can do a better job explaining this than anyone.

Global Warming: If i understood it at all becides, the earth is heating up and its all our fault, i would give my opinion =p

I would give my opinion on other things like for example, Stem Cell Research, but i honestly dont know really anything about the other stuff.
ohh well =]
Also, when the Presidental Race becomes closer, I'll give my opinion more about that. [but, i like John McCain more then Rudy Giuliani though]

Snow Day

Well, this is my first post. I don't really have a motive for creating a blog, but it seems to be catching on. Im just pretty much going to talk about anything in this blog. And i talk alot. So have fun =p

Today was the first snow day this school year for a lot of people[including me].
This morning when i came downstairs at around 6:30-because the gay next door neighbor was plowing, and he kept dropping the stupid plow thing on asfault, which made the huge BANG noise everytime. So having nothing better to do than listen to banging, i got up-and heres the convo i had with my parents.
Me: "We have no school....right?"
Dad: "uh, yea you have school."
Me: "WHAT?!"
Dad: "Yea, you might want to get ready."
Me: "MOM! Do we really have school?"
Mom: "Yes....*smirk* you have school..*smirk*
[note: she can't keep a straight face when she lies, EVER]

Isnt that great? lol...that's how i woke up this morning.

I watched the weather last night, and this morning. Last night, where i live it was right smack dab in the middle of the line the separates the 18-36in and the 8-18in. This morning after i woke up, i watched the local news, and now it says anywhere above 2ft of snow. whoopdeedoo.
I remember when i was in elementary school, when snow days were a BLAST. I would get all dressed up in my big bushy snow pants, and matching fuzzy hat and gloves and stiffly walk out into the snow. Wether it was snow ball fights, or just trying to catch snowflakes with my tounge, it was always fun. Then when we would come in, my mom would make us hot chocolate while we would defrost.
But now...I look at the snow and think, "Oh my God, I'm going to have to shovel that." Shoveling totally takes the fun away out of snow days.
