I feel so loved… *said sarcastically*

Okay the Saturday before we left to go to Texas, I was at the mall with my friend and Mom, Dad and Alexa were going to meet me there so I didn’t have to go back home alone.  Me and my friend were walking to the Apple Store to take pictures of ourselves on the Macs, when I saw Mom.  I was like, “Hey! That’s my Mom!” and we both stood there as she walked right past.  She didn’t even NOTICE me!!!!  We started laughing.  Then we followed her and then walked past her AGAIN.  She STILL didn’t notice me.  We laughed again and then went up to her. 

Well today we had gone to the mall to, you know, shop.  So we had gone to Bath and Body Works and we were going to Justice next.  My feet were hurting anyways because I was wearing new shoes. So I decided that while Mom and Alexa checked-out I would just sit down on the display thing.  So I sat down and took my shoes off to see that I had a blister on both heels.  Luckily only one was open.  So I kept them off and looked at stuff to entertain me.  About 8 minutes later I was thinking, this has got to be a really long line.  Well when they come out they’ll say “Amber! Come on! We’re leaving!”  Well, that was NOT the case.  I sat there for at least 15 minutes when I heard a knock on the glass behind me.  My mom was standing there motioning to come on.  Apparently they had walked out with out noticing me.  Thanks.

We got to the table and I sat there while Grandma got cookies and drinks for us and Mom went somewhere. They got back and we were leaving. I wanted to switch arms with my purse and as I did that I saw them walking off not even LOOKING back.  So I hurried up and got behind them.  We got downstairs when Alexa said, “Where’s Amber?”  So if I was still up  there they wouldn’t have noticed me gone until then.  I feel loved.

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Yesterday it snowed pretty much all school day!  I sat right next to the window in Science so ALL class I was watching the beautiful snow outside.  Then we finally got out of school and we had a little snowball fight :) and it was SO much fun!  It was SO beautiful too!!!  It snowed all my walk home and then I got inside and I did something and it stopped.  So today it was just supposed to be sunny and cold.  It snowed just a hint and not really anything special.  BUT NOW its SNOWING SUPER HARD!! Apparently its supposed to be like a blizzard tonight and its ammmaaaazzzzinnnngggg :) but since its my last day of school tomorrow and I have a half day I still have to go to school snow or not :/ but oh well!!!! SNOW!!!!!!!!  Its sooo beautiful and ammaaazzzziiinnnnnggg :D

 

Movie Quote from my FAVORITE Christmas movie :)

I want you to get married. I want you to have nine children. And if you only spend five minutes a day with each kid, that's forty-five minutes, and I'd at least have time to go out and get a massage or something.

:D

I’ll post pics later :))

Interview

I had citizenship homework last night. Your probably thinking, “What is citizenship?” or you may already know what it is… but I’m going to tell you anyways.  Its a class where we learn about laws and diseases and other stuff… I think. You’d think the citizenship teacher would be really nice and you know, citizenshiply, well she's not.  She yells at us EVERY class!  But that's besides the point.  Last night for the homework I had to interview three family members on Young Adults and Alcohol.  Naturally, I chose my mom, my dad, and my sister.  I got all of their answers and Alexa’s was the funniest!!!  Especially as she said these through the most serious, straight face I’d seen her have. 

1.At present the law says you must be 18 to go into a pub and buy alcohol. Why do you think this law was passed?

-Because you have to be older than 16 to do it, but not 17 because you have to be 18.

2. Do you think it would be a good idea to lower this age limit to 16? Give reasons.

-No, because 16 is a lower age because if your 14 you only have 2 years left.  It would be a bad idea because they could drink the alcohol or pour it into a pond and make the fish die.

3. How easy is it for young people under 18 in your area to obtain alcohol?

-It stinks.

4.What kinds of problems can under-age drinking cause?

-Them to get drunk and start dancing like a 6 year old.

5. In what ways could these problems be reduced?

-Put the age up to 349.

I tried so hard to contain my laughs, I couldn’t take it anymore at number 3 and started cracking up laughing.   I am also surprised I didn’t get an “I don’t know” for any of them! I love her. :)

Status Update

I really have nothing to say but I wanted to post something too… so yup here it is!!!   And being 6 hours ahead of everyone there is tiring cuz when all my friends get home its 3 there but 9 over here and then once I start talk to them it tumbles into 11 and I know what yall will say “Just end the convo nothing to it!”  Well when you miss them like crazy you WANT to talk to them and I know what you’ll say “well then just get to bed earlier and stop checking Facebook”  Its not that easy and plus I like talking to them it just pays off in the morning and I’m soooo tired then and then it repeats itself. 

But oh well, I should get to bed early… maybe….

I’ll go now.

Ugh…

Ugh I’m tired.  My eyes hurt.  I’ve been locked out of the house today, thank goodness I had an umbrella.  My sister is watching Titanic over and over and over again (the first part) and I figured out that my parents are going out on a date night like now.  Great!  Just wished I’d known before 5 minutes ago.  And honestly I really don’t want to make dinner.  I should have gotten Starbucks like I planned… I bet this is sounding really scattered and hard to comprehend… sorry soooooooooooo tired here.  And I don’t know what I want to do. :(  I know what I DONT want to do, but that doesn’t help me.  I’m tired of checking Facebook every 5 minutes to see if anyone has updated their status and your probably going to say why dont you just stop?  Well because when your tired and your bored Facebook is what you turn to.  See I feel like sleeping but then again I don’t want to and I wont be able to anyways sooo whatever bout that… but just ugh.

We ordered pizza.. felt bad for the guy though cuz it was pouring rain and I only had a 20… but yeah :) so then we watched an old season of Americas Next Top Model :)  So all is well and Alexa is watching the VERY end of the Titanic (she’s not allowed to see the scary parts).  So yes, all is well :)

Last night!

Yesterday we were going to go out to Central London and I was wearing these really cute black high-heeled boots and I was going to take my gray kinda-like-keds shoes in case my feet were killing me.  So Alexa, finally, agreed to take them and carry them in her bag.  So I stuffed them in her bag and we get to Mayfair where Mom works, and I wanted to change shoes for a while then switch back when mom got off of work.  So we get to Starbucks and I look through the bag and I only found one shoe.  I was like, “GRRREEEAAATTTT… I only have ONE shoe!!! I guess I won’t be changing shoes!”  So I just toughed it out in my boots and my feet surprisingly didn’t hurt that much at the end of the night, but that’s not the point.   Anyways Mom got to Starbucks and we got on the “Tube” and went to Piccadilly Circus.  OMG IT IS SOOOOO COOL!!!!! Here’s a pic!

Then we got a Taxi and went to Sticky Fingers!  (haha I was looking out the window and I bumped my face against the glass… it hurt!!!!) I got ribs at Sticky Fingers!!! They were sooooooooooooooooooo good!!! And I had to go to the bathroom so you know, I went and OMG it was sooo cool that when I got back to the table Alexa had to go so i brought my camera!!!

The mirror over the sinks!

The ceiling!

The mirrors on the doors!!!

  Haha Me and Alexa from the ceiling upside down!!!

So then we went to the underground and I was pooped.  Then we went on the Train and I was even more pooped.  Then we were walking home, Dad giving Alexa a piggy back ride and talking about the crack of dawn, I’m sure Alexa will tell you all about that in her blog soon.  Then we were on our road walking home, thanks to mom’s good sight for shoes, she found my other shoe on the sidewalk just sitting there.  So now I have both of my shoes again.  Thanks, Mom!!!!  Then we get inside of the house and I was really tired so I got myself a glass of water and I drank that, and then I got myself another glass.  I brought the cup up to  my mouth and I missed my mouth, drinking water.  That’s when i KNEW that I really should go to sleep.  Then I decided to at least wash my face and as I was squirting the face lotion into my hand, somehow it got on the mirror!  That’s when I said, “Screw this! I’m goin’ to bed!”  And then I got in bed, and fell asleep.  So I had a fun, yet tiring day.  But I had sooooo much fun!!!!

<3 ya!

Heyyyy!!!!!!!

First of all, I want to say READ ALEXA’S BLOG!!! It has been recently updated and it makes me laugh!!!!! :)

Second of all, the other night, right before I woke up, I had a dream about forgetting my camera and I was so mad at myself for forgetting it. So the next morning I woke up and thought, "Okay I'm going to take my camera because maybe I'll need it or something..." I walked outside and saw why brought my camera.

Then on the way home I decided to embrace Fall and take a few pictures :D

 

Hehe! :)  hope you liked my pictures!!!! <3 ya!!!

Questions

I have a few random questions going through my mind.  Don't ask me why they popped up in my mind, I don't even know, they just did.

1)Why when your out places, there is absolutely NO line for the men's bathroom, but when you get home they are always in the bathroom, and you constantly have to ask, "When are you going to be done?" 

2)Do I have Swine Flu?

3)If I do have Swine Flu, What do I do?

4)How many licks does it take to eat a tootsie pop?  I mean really, did anyone ever, really count?

5)Why do you park in the driveway, but drive on the parkway? O_o

6)Why do I still feel sooooooooo tired, when I just slept all night long?

7)Why me?

8)You know sticky tack or ticky tack, whatever you like to call it?  They call it blue tack, when its yellow. Why?

9)Why do the British say Americans say all these different things JUST because they think Americans wanted to be different?  I mean the British say all this weird lingo like, crackin', telly, and chuffed.  I mean, who could blame us?

10)Why are Clarks so ugly? (Some of them are cute, but the most comfy ones are pretty awful)

11)Why don't they have Lucky Charms over here?!? Or Fruit Loops?!?  Its a crime!!!!

12)Why do they make you use only blue or black pens?  I think the red pens should be used too!

13)Why is 13 an unlucky number?  I don't get it!

14)Why is Alexa so in love with that pink box?

15)Do you know what the degrees F temperature for 36.5 degrees Celsius is, cuz that’s my temperature.

16)Why are bricks red?

17)Why am I still adding questions?

18)Why do my eyes hurt all of a sudden?

19)Do I really have to LEARN Celsius?  Cuz If I have to take a test on it I'll totally fail.

20) This is my last question.  Why is the sky blue?

Here is another quote from the same movie below-

“Oh, my God. This place is beyond its normal grotesque. It's post-nuclear.”

Sick.

I'm sick. :P Although, I don't really know what I have... But anyways I feel awful and its been this way since, well, yesterday. My head hurts, my stomach hurts, my nose is all stuffed up, and I have a sore throat. Sucks. So I've been sitting on the couch watching T.V. all day. Heres a movie quote from a movie that I watched twice today.

"Why are you buttering a plastic scone?"
"Why are there plastic scones when we have real food on the table? Huh?"

I almost told my BFFA's little brother, Tucker to tell his sister, Taylor, to text my other friend Bhavya to tell to my other friend, Marion to tell Bhavya and Marion both that they are butt heads from me. But I didn't. Just thought I'd let you know.

A little bit of everything!

Today I was and still am tired. I should be since I stayed up until 1 in the morning and got up at 6:30am this morning. I swear I was about to fall asleep in math. Anyways I was walking home from the bus when I saw Alexa and Dad walking down the street so I ran as fast as I could to catch them. I finally caught them and we walked home together. After a while, I looked down at the carpet and I said, "What in the world is THAT?" I called out to Dad, "Hey dad! I think someone pooped in the hallway!"
He called out, "What?"
I called, "Just come here!"
After a few calls he came looked at the carpet and said," What in the world is that?"
I replied, "I do not know." There was a clump of brown thing with clumps of brown stuff behind it.
Dad said, "I think it's a snail."
"How did it get in here?" I asked.
"It must have come in from some one's shoe. Give me a piece of toilet paper." I did and I flushed it down the toilet and that's when I noticed the marks on the stairs. Then I looked at my shoe to see if it was and well it had stuck to my shoe and now I have snail guts on my shoe. Gross... Anyways, this poor snail had died very slowly. I had apparently stomped on it while I was running and didn't think anything about it. I just feel bad for the snail. Now for some pictures!!! hahaha not of the poor snail just some random pictures I feel like posting!

I hate... no I love!

You know what I hate?



I hate:

• essays that take too much time


• homework


• this keyboard


• the book I'm The King Of The Castle


• cleaning


• having to clean when I have no time for it


• looking at a dirty floor and wish you had time to clean it


• the feeling like you've disappointed someone
• uniforms
• ordering one thing and getting something you really didn't want or didn't ask for
• when fast food restaurants run out of sprite so they give you REALLY carbonated water that makes you feel even more thirsty
• feeling like you've got nothing accomplished

You know what I love?

I love:

• my family
• my friends
• my phone and ipod
• pens
• feeling like you could conquer the world
• reading books you actually LIKE
• nature
• being creative
• feeling accomplished
• getting something that you've been wanting for a long time and knowing exactly what your going to do with it or what your going to wear with it and then actually wearing it and feeling good all day
• Christmas
• over the knee high socks (preferably cute ones)
• feeling loved
• me
• this world
• God
• laughing A LOT

I wish now I could feel accomplished, that this keyboard would stop opening new tabs, that my room was clean, and that I could stop reading I'm The King Of The Castle. Its putting me down and I don't like it.

REALLY????

Okay, who knows what the difference between complementary colors and contrasting colors are???? Oo!Oo! Pick me! Pick me! I know! I know! Nothing. The difference is nothing. They are both the opposite colors on the color wheel and here I am supposed to be doing homework that doesn't make sense... lucky me.

BTW, the homework is... dun dun dun dunnnnnn 2 examples of complimentary colors and 2 examples of contrasting colors. He-llooooooo ITS THE EXACT SAME THING!!!! So really all I'm doing is 4 examples of the very same thing. woo-pee.

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Please.

My accent

You'd think that 4 days after I arrive at a new school in a new country people would have fawned over my accent already, but no, that waited until today. Not that I'm complaining about it, I'm not seriously! But I think its funny, I'm guessing that word is getting around.

Today in Science, I got put at a table with all guys. Don't worry I don't like any of them! (Dad's probably gonna say that I jumped to conclusion that somebody was gonna say that but no I don't like them...at ALL.) So there was this one really talkative guy that sat beside me and he found out I was from Texas and he was all like, "say something!"

I said, "I really don't think I have an accent."

And he just looked at me and said, "Woah! You do!" And started quizzing me on American stuff like MLB and NFL. What my favorite teams were. And then he asked me about corn dogs. He asked me, "Do you eat corn dogs?"

I said, "Honestly, I really don't like them." Everyone around me gasped. "Well, I mean some people do, but I'm just not that big of a fan of them, " I said quickly.

Then he asked, "Whats in it?" I told him a hot dog and he interrupted, asking, "Is there really corn in them?"

I said, "No there is no corn in there whatsoever."

He asked, "What is it then? Why is called a corn dog?"

I said, "Because it has corn bread around it." Then I noticed everyone at the table was listening to me talk about a corn dog and what it was. The crazy, simple things that make people listen...

Then later on he asked, "Whats your name again?"

I said, "Amber"

He said, "Oh wow! I love that."

All the attention made me smile, again NOT because I like him, I DON'T, but because it felt good to be noticed and wanted to speak to.

Then we got on with our experiment and one of the guys asked the teacher why do we have to wear eye glasses (science goggles) when we are not even doing anything really with our eyes. The teacher said something I didn't catch and then said, "I blame the Americans."

The guy said, "But she's American right there!"

I asked, "What are you blaming on the Americans?"

He said, "Nothing, nothing." and walked away. Then class was over.

At the end of the day, I was walking out when this guy from my ICT class came and said hi. So I said Hi back and he said, "Wow you really do have the accent!"

I said, "I really don't think I do! I don't even hear it!"

He replied, "Well, your in England now!" And went downstairs.

So I guess my Texas accent that I don't think I have is getting around.

Adios, Y'all!

Oh, Oh, Oh, Its Magic!

Mom would say, "Its the secret!" Dad would say, "Its probably a coincidence!" I don't know what Alexa would say, but I say, "Its magic!"

It all started Sunday night. Alexa had played this Jonas Brothers song on Mom's iPhone on YouTube and it was all quiet and suddenly a song came on. It was a remake by Selena Gomez of Magic (Oh, Its Magic). Neither Alexa or Mom had touched that iPhone and I was all the way across the room! So we were just like, "So it IS magic"

The next day, I had my iPhone on that song and I was just listening to it and I pull out this clear, plastic box with this white purse and lotion and lip gloss wrapped up inside. From Christmas! I was supposed to give it away as a gift, but the movers packed it. So I was looking forward to getting the presents and my mother couldn't find them when she was unpacking! And I found them when the music was ON! So then I thought, "Wow it really IS magic!"

Today, I had my interview at Chessington Community College. I was accepted and was really pleased and happy. All I needed to make my day better was KFC and eat it at the park. And plus, it was a beautiful day! So we did! We got KFC and ate it at the park and I thought this is a Great day!!!! Then Mom said," You know what song is stuck in my head?"
I asked," What?"
She said," That magic song."
I replied," Oh my gosh! Its stuck in my head too!!"
Then, this guy ran in the park and I thought, "huh, that kinda looks like Dad!" And didn't think anything of it until he ran by again. I thought, "Wow it really DOES look like dad!" and dipped another french fry in ketchup.
My mom said," Say something!"
And in my head I was thinking, "Should I say something? Should I not? What if it isn't him? Then I would look like a fool and embarrass myself." So finally I yelled, "DAD!" Then to see my reaction and the rest of the story go to my Dad's blog, http://vollebaklife.blogspot.com/

But I'll just say that when I was walking on the way home I thought, "That song is DEFIANTLY magic!"

Over all, I believe in magic!

Do you believe in magic? (in a young girls heart? How the music can free her whenever it starts? And its magic!) Lol!!

Movie Quote #5

I love this movie! Well, I love a lot of movies... but I think this one is really cute and I could watch it again and again and again and again and again and well, you get the point.

"Eminem's on the phone; he wants an answer now."
"Umm... plain. Peanut? Plain!"

Google vs. Blackle

Google (www.google.com) is like the ultimate power search and they own another power search Blackle. (www.blackle.com) The Blackle power search is supposed to save energy and "go green" by being black. The white screen is supposedly wasting our resources by by using a lot of energy and, therefore, is wasting oil and petroleum. So, your supposed to go to Blackle. But here are my questions...

Why does pretty much NO one knows about it?

Why not just use a black screen for google?

Why created a WHOLE different power search just for it to be a different color?

Why is it such a big deal?

What are watt hours?

Why does Google only have videos and images and stuff like that and not Blackle?

Why does it matter?

Why should I use Blackle over Google? - They'd tell me, because I would be saving the environment...

Why should I use Google over Blackle?

Whatever happened to Ask.com?

Movie Quote #4

Alexa has started to quote this movie. Here is her favorite quote to quote. :)

1- Why are you on me?
2- Just a big fan, big fan.

If you can't guess it from there, here's another quote from the same movie.

I am not going out there as a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be Tina Turner. I can't afford therapy on my salary.

A Mouse's Tail

Once upon a time, there was a brave, little mouse who loved honor and justice and always told the truth...

The other day, everything was working out well for Alexa. Not so well for me. We had been looking for shoes (for me) all day at all these different stores. None to be found. Alexa, however, on the way back from shopping found a penny lying on the ground, face up, just waiting to be picked up for luck. Well, Alexa got that luck. She found 10 pounds just lying on the ground, on our street, rolled up, just waiting for someone to pick it up. She was very lucky, especially when she had just spent all of her money on pink stuff earlier that day.



That night, just as we were going to go up to bed, Mom decided to run the dishwasher and asked me to get a Tab thingy (dishwasher detergent in a rectangle) out from the cupboard under the sink where all the cleaners and chemicals were. So I opened it up and pop! A mouse's head come out from the box where the Tablets were and I slammed the cupboard door shut as it scurried away. I ran to the hall and jumped on a pile of dirty clothes (We were also doing laundry). Mom was kind of freaking out asking in a shaky voice, "Was it small? Brown? Uhhhh... What do we do now? Go call Dad and ask him what we should do." So I ran over to the computer and started calling Dad on skype. He wasn't there. But while the computer rang, I kept thinking about the mouse and how it scurried off and how it looked like it was just as scared as we were. We found out that there had been a big bag of bird feed that the mice had been taking and eating. So we cleaned out the cupboard and concluded that the mice had been contained in that one cupboard and they had just been getting bird feed, nothing else. That seemed to make us all relax. So after that we all went to bed.

Oh yeah, and apparently Mom also stepped on a snail. So overall it was a good day. Alexa found 10 quid, I scared a mouse, and Mom stepped on a snail. Yup! Sounds good to me! ;)

I could say they lived happily ever after, but what's the fun in that?

p.s. The sentences in italics are from a movie.

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

AAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will never be able to talk right EVER again! Alexa told me to buy a brain a few days ago. I'm considering it. One for the U.S. and one for the U.K. Sounds good to me!! If only things were that simple... :(

So now I have to get used to if they say crisps they mean chips and when they say chips they mean fries and if they say fries they mean WHAT?!?!?!?!? If you get that try saying it aloud. That confuses things a bit. Or better yet go to a restaurant and they ask you if you want frites which they mean fries and wonder if they are talking about chips which would be fries or are they talking about something totally different? I just ordered the potatoes.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This keyboard makes me sooooooo mad if you press the letter T on here at some points it opens a new tab for you that you don't even need! Or it'll just open something that looks important that you shouldn't be opening but you did anyway. Or while your typing you press a b or an i or an u and it goes to bold, italics, or underline for you! I just (literally JUST) put in a different (old not used) keyboard and am using that right this second! UGH!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why. WHY????? Do we have to wear STUPID uniforms? Its just plain stupid! Throughout all my school years I always thought if I had to wear a uniform,... well I just might die! I mean they are SO ugly!! I've always expressed my creativity and my personality and me by the way I dressed. It was always ME. It was never EVERYONE else. I'm sorry if I offended people who do like uniforms. This is my opinion.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, venting.

I can ride my bike with no handle bars (maybe) + MOVIE QUOTE #4!!!!

I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It's exhausting.

I also love that movie :)

Anywayyyysss, on the first day at camp in Devon we were on bikes a LOT. So I was riding Leander's bike while she rode Matthew's. She had gone down this steep hill that led to where our tent was. Then after that hill there was another kind of hill that led past another tent. So she went down the 1st hill and then the 2nd. And I followed subconsciously. Well that wasn't the best decision for me. :/ I ran over our neighbor's guide ropes... and then got tangled in them. I felt really bad. :( But it was funny.

Later that day we decided to fly some kites. My kind of small one was up in the air and lasting in the air. So we decided to tie it to the swing set. So Leander took it and wrapped it over twice and said that should do it. The hand-thing-a-ma-bob flew away and got caught in our other neighbor's guide ropes. Thank goodness and then we tied it really tight so it wouldn't fly off again. So later we see it had crashed and we decided to get it down. Well we had tied it REALLY tight so after about half an hour we just decided to brake the string. So we broke the string and tied it together again. Thennnnnn, Alexa came into the picture. She had walked to ask us a question and turned to go to the tent. Then she got caught in the string and kept walking. She finally got untangled and we (Leander and I) turned to detangle the knots out of the string. We had about 3 knots left to detangle and then Alexa came with her bike. She got herself AND the bike tangled in the string. Lets just say there was a whole lot of snapping the string going on...

p.s. is detangle a word??

I will never be a waitress

I have proof that I should never be a waitress.

During camping, Mrs.Bole (Sharon) would ask Leander (her 12 year old daughter) and me to either take the laundry down to wash them or take them back to the camp. The first time she asked us to pick up the wet laundry and come back with them. So I carried the load back and Leander caught that I dropped some of Alexa's panties. So she picked them up real fast and put them on top of the pile in my arms.

The next night, Leander and I were walking back from the bathroom and we look down and see some pink underwear. We look at each other and say, "Is that?... Really?" So Leander picked them up and I said, "Yup! Those are Alexa's" We started cracking up because not only I drop them and not know, but they were muddy and had been run over by who knows how many cars. Poor Alexa's underwear!! We laughed all the way back to the Tent carrying a pair of pink and brown underwear! We had hung them up on the windbreaker where they stayed the whole rest of the trip.

The next day, Leander and I, had picked up the dry laundry and I carried them back again. At the beginning, I tried very hard not to drop anything and never thought I had. Until my mom and I were walking back from the bathroom. We looked down and saw some pink underwear. This time it was mine... Apparently, Mr.Bole (David) had been asking the soccer/football players playing around that area if my pair of underwear was theirs! All day!!! I, of course, cracked up when I heard that.

Also, earlier that day, my mom, Alexa, and I had gone to wash the dishes and everything had been washed. So we were walking back and while I was telling her the 1st story I dropped a clean cup. She had to go clean it again. :(

So if I ever become a waitress at some point in my life, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to spill the drink or food on you! Blame my unbalancation! If that's a word...

Movie Quote #3 and how many tries does it take to get a moth out of your room?

This is one of my new favorite movies. We watched this last night and this morning.

Quote- When I shop the world gets better, the world is better; and then it's not anymore and I have to do it again.

Last night, I had left my window open and my light on. Lets just say it attracted some bugs. I had 2 really big moths, 3 smaller moths, and some other bugs. (I don't know what they are) Mom got out the 1st big moth and I got out 2 of the smaller moths. The other big moth was a bit trickier. He flew very fast and freaked out for a while. Then the moth would stop and we would try to catch it. And then, it would freak out again. So, Mom was helping me and, of course, it was freaking out. And all of a sudden, went into my mother's shirt. She, of course, jumped off of the chair she was standing on and tried to get the moth out of her shirt. Then the moth flew at me and I scurried out of the room as fast as possible. Then came back in and looked around for the moth. We couldn't find it. So, Mom gave up and I got my pj's on. I came back in and saw the moth just sitting on my dresser. I knew it was in the best position for me to catch it. So I got the cup and pop! I smashed the cup onto the dresser around the moth. I hope you didn't think I would have smashed IT! I wouldn't do that. So I got Mom and she threw it out of the window. Then, I closed the window as fast as I could and saw the moth hit the glass wanting to come back in. Then I closed my blinds. I don't think I'll leave my window open at night again.

Movie Quote #1

I love this movie!!! :)

I'm packing your extra pair of shoes, and your angry eyes just in case.

What kind of music I don't like and why.

The kind of music I dislike is Michael Jackson's music and why? It gets stuck in my head and I don't like it. At all. I mean it.

For instance, my dad put the song, The Way You Make Me Feel on his iPod and made me listen to it on my way to school. The rest of the day I had that song stuck in my head. So now, thanks to you dad, every time I hear I Michael Jackson song it gets stuck in my head 'til I go to bed. That is why I dislike Michael Jackson's music. And much to my dismay, Alexa likes his music especially his song, Beat It. To make matters worse the people playing music in the tube areas are now playing his music. I think I might bring ear plugs for this moment.

The Fan Museum

In the train station they had a flier for touristy attractions and I picked up one just for the heck of it. So I was reading through it and I came across the Fan Museum. Here's the description:

The award-winning Fan Museum is home to 4,000 fans and fan leaves from all over the world. The delightful Orangery - where afternoon tea is served on Tuesdays and Sundays - overlooks a Japanese style garden.
Gift Shop.

As soon as I saw that I've been wanting to go to the Fan Museum. Just because it was so weird and wacky and I wanted to say I've been there. :)

Its kinda like at Camp. I was at the trading post (where they sell shirts and stuff) and I saw that they had jelly. So I went over to see what jelly they had just because and I found the weirdest named jellies. They had Mayhaw Jelly, Muscadine Jelly, but my favorite and most wacky was the Scuppernong Jelly. I just HAD to have it. So I got it the last day (they wouldn't let me get it during the week). So now I have my Scuppernong Jelly and did I mention its green? :)
I still haven't tried it.

Macoroni and Cheese, Milk, and Apple Juice Oh My!

Lately, my sister, Alexa, has been eating mac and cheese almost everyday and going through milk like crazy since we got here. It was a wonder (to me) that she wasn't constipated by now...

Last night, she drank almost all of the apple juice that we had bought two days before. My mom and I, both told her that she's gonna get sick and not feel well. She didn't believe us as she drank some more milk.

So today I got a wake up call from my mom at about 9:30am and was asked what I felt like, as most people who just wake up say, I said, "Tired." Then she said Alexa was sick and I was supposed to take her temperature. So I did and her temperature was 97.0. No fever.

So for the rest of the morning she sat on the couch and watched T.V. I asked her, "What hurts?"

She said, "My legs are weak (while she said this she was swinging her leg over the arm of the chair she was sitting in and letting it slip off of the arm and starting over with the same leg), my head hurts, my arm hurts right here (she pointed to her right arm right between her elbow and shoulder), and my stomach hurts a little." And I left her to her T.V.

After all this it was lunch time and I was eating leftovers from last night. I told her to find something to eat and she came back with a wine glass filled with milk in her hand. She said, "I didn't find anything."

I said, "Well, there must be something!" And she climbed on the arm of the couch and walked across the back side of the couch. I asked suspiciously, "Your legs are weak?"

She said, "That was a while ago and I can walk on here." Here meaning the couch. She said," And my legs are still weak, that's why I have to walk so slow."

I let it go, but still tempted to say, "Well you went to the kitchen pretty fast." But I didn't.

Anyways, I've got to go and clean the kitchen. :( I hate cleaning.

What to write...

I'm supposed to be doing this blog everyday and before I started it I had loads of ideas, but they all went poof! How can you write something without knowing what to write? I bet kinda like this, huh? Anyways, I've been trying to figure out something to write about for about 30 minutes now listening to music just waiting for inspiration. And yet I STILL don't know what to write about so I'm coming to you with my dilemma.

Now I'm listening to the inspirational CD that I made for my ex-friend for her birthday. Right now the song is Anytime You Need a Friend by the Beu sisters. Now that I'm listening to it its very corny. Yes, very.

Anyways, I don't know how long I'll keep typing like this... sorry. You know what? Probably as soon as I post this I'll think of something to write about. I hate that! For example, you throw away something that you think is of no use at all, and then the next day, "Oh! Darn! I could have used that! "


I'll go now.

Singing

My sister has picked up on my singing around the house. Which is great, but her lyrics are hilarious!
The other day she was creeping me out. She was singing to me but here were some of the lyrics:
"I want you to be my princess, I want you to come to my castle, I want you to be my princess." And so on, there were more lyrics to it but I can't remember them.
Last night she had found tunes to songs that were already written but she didn't know the words and so she added her own words:
To Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer
"Woah!!! You've got to believe me. Woah oh! I'm telling the truth!" And she kept singing that over and over again. It was HILARIOUS!!! You've got to believe me!

Lost Thoughts

Have you ever noticed that you always, ALWAYS, get the BEST ideas in the bathroom? I don't know about the rest of you guys, but it seems like whenever I step across the line into the hallway or a room i forget the thought, the idea, or whatever I was thinking about just a second before. It drives me CRAZY!!! Especially when its something for the store or something really important it seems like I never remember those things. Then it seems like you'll never, EVER remember and its frustrating you, and you tell everyone else about your loss of memory and they're all like,"Oh is it this?" And its the thing thats been bugging you for forever. Sometimes when you tell whoever your telling they say, "I don't know," and that makes you even MORE frustrated. And then, after awhile (usually when your distracted by something else) you just totally forget about it. So I dont get exactly why, but maybe, just maybe, we have nothing else to think about and it just pops into your brain! I don't really know, all I know is that it's just weird.
