We are finally home! It is so nice to be back at your own house, and to sleep in your own bed. I thought I would post the pictures from the zoo that I took.

Last day in Arizona :

The Ninetieth of 2010

2010-03-31T18:41:00.000-07:00

I found something I could say I love. The love I am talking about is being shown to Fashion Square Mall in Scottsdale! Every store I wanted to go was located here (Although, I went to two). There goes my money and being able to feel in my feet.
That night, after a day of one eye being bloodshot, I threw out my contacts. They where irritating my eye after junk fell in my eye. Because of this, I am currently blind. Can't see more then a foot infront of my face.

Today was full of food and walking. We ate some food at In-N-Out burger. Also, took a visit to QT (Quick Trip) for some grub. Oh, how I enjoy that place.

Oh Joe's Crab Shack, how we praise thee! Although we went through some trouble to find you, you made my day. Snow Crab, butter, potatos, sausage and shrimp! I devored you to the last crab leg. My lemon water finished the meal. Farewell my friend, see you next year.

Wow, a slow day. After waking up, we had our dentist appointments. Ian went over to his friends house while we got some lighting for our green screen.

YW & YM boating activity! Aww, the day went by so fast. It was really fun as well. Boating was the only thing we did.
G&G came after church, Afton hit her head so Eli was over while she was over at the ER. All is well!

Donuts for breakfast, riding bikes to the park. Everything is good.

Wow... They where together THAT LONG?????

Yup.

High School registration! Today, we went over to dear old Richland High and Registered. There was so many errors on my schedule, we immediately turned it back in. I hope everything will work out good.

Today, my green screen came! We bought it five days ago, and it finally arrived TODAY! I also babysat me second cousins... Yes, I took no pictures but, yeah. I can't say anything about that. I also played a couple games of Life.

Since my goal is to post everyday, this is pretty much it.

The Two-Hundred and Thirtieth of 2009

2009-08-18T11:06:00.000-07:00

It's a three day post, filled with shopping, Advil, migraines and family. Read and Enjoy at your own risk.
Sunday was awfully slow for the first part of the day. After church we sat around. I started gaining a migraine from being in the house. My dad insited on going to Loren & Dani's (First cousin once removed) house. Turn's out they where another first cousin once removed's house, and we insisted on driving to Sunnyside to visit. Yes, the town is small and smells like cow poop but, pretty much all of my Grandpa's sisters live there. It's like a family reunion for them at church since there is only one ward in the whole town. It would be weird to be in the same Sunday School class as 5 of your cousins. So we arrived at a lot by their house they are building. It was fun, they had a tire swing which all of us loved. They had a zip-line to, but we didn't use it. We got home around 9:00, we had so much fun!
One of our busiest days; we went school supply shopping! We got so much, yet I have to get more later on. I love my new backpack! We got it on Saturday as well as a few clothing items. After I got my hair cut... All of my previous hair-cuts failed. Luckily, this one actually turned out okay! That night we had my grandparents come over with my cousins Eli & Afton. We played princesses, drank water and ate fishy crackers (Gold Fish). Over All, it was pretty fun... Yet again, how could it not?

Today, I decided to explore the worlds of DENSITY!!!!!!!! Ian was interested, so it gave me a reason to do it. We tried the 3 layer version, but we didn't have some of the supplies. We ended up using:

Water
Honey
Rubbing Alcohol
Conola Oil

It turned out pretty cool, Ian was in aw. But if you do it, try the 7 layer version. It will look cooler.

Okay I am back, back blogging after forgetting about you. Forgetting how I care about you. Wow, that's sad.

Ah, yes the third day after my parents left me for New York. I started the pattern of waking up and then eating lunch. I decided to savor my craving of crab that I achieved all the way back to Forks (I might post about this). Red Lobster was filled with old people, so it was cool going with my grandparents. We fit in. I ordered some Snow Crab Legs. We enjoyed it, well at least I did.I do recommend the mashed potatoes as a side, they are really good. Ian enjoyed looking at the lobsters, talking about how he was going to eat them. That's Ian for ya. Jakob got a Mac & Cheese which ways pretty good (From the few bites I had). I made dinner and we sat around eating ice-cream and playing outside. Everything was really laid-back and slow. That's how it was for the whole week.

We went to Walla Walla on Friday, we went to all the museums we can find. For lunch we went to some pretty yummy Mexican Restaurant. The shredded beef was really good in my taco. I ate soooo much!
Anyone, still fixing the blog up. Enjoy it for now.

The Fifty-Sixth of 2009

2009-02-25T15:30:00.000-08:00

I should honestly rename the header to 'My Week', but since I am a lazy butt I am only going to recap the last couple of days.

Saturday I went to my friend Talmage's birthday party. We went to a nearby park and played games such as Capture the Flag. Our team lost because two people (one of which is a super fast runner) sat around and did nothing. It ended when I got ambushed by three people. After, we came back to there house, ate Ice Cream Cake, opened gif

ts and some of us jumped on the trampoline. I fell simultaneously because of my weight and the balance on the trampoline. There was a ton of people at the party.

Church, it all went by fast. Because of my memory weeking, I have decided to skip to Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the honor assembly took place. I went with one of my friends Tiffaney. It was fun, we raided Dairy Queen after the event for some shakes & blizzards.

My brothers are cereal addicts. To save some, I have to hide it. Currently, I have my stash of Coco Krispies hidden behind the other boxes. I have to be super careful not to show it to anyone.

On the way home I took a million (or 4) photos with Tiffaney! So... Show and Tell Time!

SPT- I am Saying "I love You" when I....

Happy Valentines Day!

What are you Guys doing to celebrate this terrific holiday?

Me: Going to See Confessions of A Shopaholic

Mattie: I am currently Making the Video, so it will be done soon.

Thursday, I stayed after School to produce my Principle & Vice-Principles Amazing Race audition video. They are trying out! Ain't that pretty cool? Then I cam home, added finishing touches & read The Clique series newest book. I am seriously addicted to the series. I have read each book at least three times (there is 15 books). I also own every one. I found the series at my 5th grade (4 years ago [next week], WOW) book fair. Now I LOVE them :)
Friday was a half day (got out at 11:30) and went to the mall with Samantha. We went to Hollister, where no one was there and got a few items. After, I babysat a 2 1/2 year old girl. She was soooo cute. She was addicted to Mini Wheaties (sp?). Today, I am heading to the Mall again to see Confessions of A Shopoholic w/ Samantha and a Girl from Badger Mt. Ward (Kenzie). So, this will be fun :D

2009-02-09T15:59:00.000-08:00

If you go to my school,obviously you would of known. I had a hole in my shirt. Not one, but TWO. It doesn't bug me much, but what really bugs me is the fact that no one told me about it. I was probably walking around school like some little nerd girl while everyone was silently mentioning me in whispers. ECKKK!
Anyway, moi Got a 4.0! I am so flippin' excited, so excited I can not contain it. Now you can see me walk up to the stage with all of the other smartical people and get my certificate! Yay!

The Eleventh of 2009

2009-01-11T19:20:00.000-08:00

Lazily, I woke up. I honestly hate having church at 9:00. Fasting for me is harder, the days are longer creating more migraines to pop into moi's brain. After church I went home, baked cookies, kept warm in the new snuggie and was yelled at by my seven year old brother to either start Halo 3, play it or watch him play Halo 3. At 4:15 I went to our Ward Choir practice, came home got, got yelled out for putting red food coloring in Jakob's noodles (I was going to put some in mine & if he didn't want to eat it, Ian was willing to), made another soup and thought about ideas for a Snuggie Commercial.

Film encompasses individual motion pictures, the field of film as an art form, and the motion picture industry. Films are produced by recording images from the world with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or special effects.

Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating — or indoctrinating — citizens. The visual elements of cinema gives motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue.

Traditional films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. When these images are shown rapidly in succession, a viewer has the illusion that motion is occurring. The viewer cannot see the flickering between frames due to an effect known as persistence of vision, whereby the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the source has been removed. Viewers perceive motion due to a psychological effect called beta movement.

The origin of the name "film" comes from the fact that photographic film (also called film stock) had historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion picture, including picture, picture show, photo-play, flick, and most commonly, movie. Additional terms for the field in general include the big screen, the silver screen, the cinema, and the movies.

It amazes me how people consider it 'Ok' to let there child (At the age of 13) see any movie that is PG-13 because they are 13. Lets get it straight, not all PG-13 movies are 'okay'. Last night my parents went to see 'Yes Man'. They said they should of walked out of it, with nudity and cussing it was not appropriate. I know several people that have, are wanting or are going to see the movie. To some people this is considered the normal, and if it is all I can say is wow.

The Tenth of 2009: Something Serious

2009-01-10T13:48:00.000-08:00

Dating is any social activity undertaken by, typically, two people with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as their partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. The word refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity. Traditional dating activities include entertainment or a meal.

In many cultural traditions, a date may be arranged by a third party, who may be a family member, acquaintance, or professional matchmaker. Recently internet dating has become popular.

Although dating etiquette in Western culture has become more relaxed during the twentieth century, there are considerable differences between social and personal values. For example, when an activity costs money (for example, a meal), traditionally the man was expected to pay; but in recent times the practice of "going Dutch" (splitting the expenses) has become common and acceptable. I

My Lunches are the same. I sit with the same people, at the same table, we talk about similar things; I love it. Together, I think of us as a big giant family. Lets list the basics of who is at the table, shall we?

It was Friday, at moi's school it was known that we would get out at 11:30 on every 3rd-ish Friday of the month. Because we just got off of Winter Break it was that week. Hannah, passed around a list of things we could possibly do that day. Everyone go the opportunity to vote on which idea we preffered. Me being rather outspoken, I said in a sing-song voice "It has chaperoned or it is considered a Group Date...." and continued on looking at the list.
Almost a millisecond after saying that Hannah and Richard looked at me and smirked "No, it is odd numbers; it's fine."
We continued on with me explaining how from lessons I have received at Church from leaders, it was. Personally, I think the group knew it was wrong but since they have been to movies together, walked around the mall, they where in denial.

Your considered a lifeless loser if you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend in the 5th grade. Your laughed at if you haven't kissed anyone in the 8th. The pressure is coming down more and more.

"Your not cool if you don't date."
"Your not cool if you don't cuss."
"You have to show this amount of skin to be 'in'."

I feel like I should EXPLODE! There is so much you have to pretend to be to actually have good friends. Why can't you just be you?

The Third of 2009

2009-01-03T20:49:00.003-08:00

Before I start, I have some quick photos to share. First, Hazel. Aftering reading Dewi's post I became inspired to add a real unicorn horn to Hazel's head.
The Next was a Picture from our Trip. The snow looks really pretty on all of the trees.
My day started with being waken to clean my bathroom. I decided to clean the guest as well, which added 'fun' to my day. After, my cousin Nathanael came over at around 11:00. We played, watched Ian's web show, played some halo and pretty much phar-tayed! After, we headed to G&G's, phar-tayed some more & then ate and ate at Bamboo Garden. Then we went home, and played Halo (I am not addicted to Halo).

Dinner is a meal normally served during evening and consist of a combination of cooked, or sometimes uncooked, proteins (meat, fish or legumes), with vegetables, and/or starch products like rice, noodles, or potatoes.

The word "dinner" comes from the French word dîner, the "main meal of the day", from Old French disner. A dinner can also be a more sophisticated meal, such as a banquet.

Dinner typically takes place in the afternoon, but due to changing work patterns in developed countries (like the United States), dinnertime has slowly moved later in the day. In the United States, dinnertime is eaten as late as 7 or 8 PM, with two notable exceptions (Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner), which are still eaten during the traditional afternoon time.

Emily Likes Food, Lets leave it at that.

The Second of 2009

2009-01-02T16:19:00.003-08:00

What could I say for a rather complicated day? At seven we woke up, got dressed and headed on the road for Bluewood to Snow Ski. Having gone numerous times to White Pass, this was a rather different experience being new the the location. When we arrived, we went the the rental station. We spent a while there, which was unexpected. After grabbing everything, we put our Ski's on (which took me forever because mine were stupid) and headed for the chairlift. Jessica joined me and we went down the Mountain. It was horrible, my ski's constantly falling of which ended me u p crashing into 3 feet of snow, both of my Skis and Poles buried beneath. I digged for them for quite a while and disappointingly I lost one of the Poles. I am grateful the $1 insurance covered for it. After coming down the Mountain, my skis fell off again. We left with frozen hair and numb fingers & toes.

Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds. The process of this precipitation is called snowfall.

Since snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material. It has an open and therefore soft structure, unless packed by external pressure.

Snow crystals form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets (approx 10μm in diameter) freeze. These droplets are able to remain liquid at temperatures colder than 4°C because, in order to freeze, a few molecules in the liquid droplet need to get together by chance to form an arrangement close to that in an ice lattice; then the droplet freezes around this 'nucleus'. Experiments show that this 'homogeneous' nucleation of cloud droplets only occurs at temperatures colder than 4°C.^[1] In warmer clouds an aerosol particle or 'ice nucleus' must be present in (or in contact with) the droplet to act as a nucleus. Our understanding of what particles make efficient ice nuclei is poor - what we do know is they are very rare compared to that cloud condensation nuclei which liquid droplets form on. Clays, desert dust and biological particles may be effective,^[2] although to what extent is unclear. Artificial nuclei include silver iodide and dry ice, and these form the basis of cloud seeding.

Once a droplet has frozen, it grows in the supersaturated environment (air saturated with respect to liquid water is always supersaturated with respect to ice) and grows by diffusion of water molecules in the air (vapor) onto the ice crystal surface where they are deposited. Because the droplets are so much more numerous than the ice crystals (because of the relative numbers of ice vs droplet nuclei) the crystals are able to grow to hundreds of micrometres or millimetres in size at the expense of the water droplets (the Wegner-Bergeron-Findeison process). The corresponding depletion of water vapour causes the droplets to evaporate, meaning that the ice crystals effectively grow at the droplets' expense. These large crystals are an efficient source of precipitation, since they fall through the atmosphere due to their mass, and may collide and stick together in clusters (aggregates). These aggregates are snowflakes, and are usually the type of ice particle which falls at the ground. ^[3] The exact details of the sticking mechanism remains controversial (and probably there are different mechanisms active in different clouds), possibilities include mechanical interlocking, sintering, electrostatic attraction as well as the existence of a 'sticky' liquid-like layer on the crystal surface.

The individual ice crystals often have an hexagonal symmetry. Although the ice is clear, scattering of light by the crystal facets and hollows/imperfections mean that the crystals often appear white in colour due to diffuse reflection of all spectrum of light by the small ice particles.

Snow is super exciting the first few days. Then, it melts, turning into mush and mud. This morning when loading the car my dad opened the garage and declared the new fallen snow on the ground after it being melted the day before. We got about three inches, and it's still there. It's heavy, and wet, but we are certain it will melt when the temperature reaches 50˚ on Thursday.

“Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.”

The First of 2009

2009-01-01T21:10:00.000-08:00

The day started out with waking up at 10:00, after phar-taying (If you count it as staying at home and drinking Diet Mt. Dew) until 1:00 the night before. Yes, I did not go to any parties. I just watched that big ball fall (Which The Clinton Family [weird] signaled to fall) which I didn't really see at all. Then we watched the Pussycat Dolls (A girl-group where everyone wheres as little clothing as they can and dance as only one girl sings) dance around they stage and other stars lip-singing.
After, we dropped Jakob off and went to At&t, Walgreens and went to my Grandparents. It was Grandpa's 68th birthday!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

We then ate cake and crashed my Aunt & Uncles place and played Halo.
Snow skiing is a group of sports using skis as primary equipment. Skis are used in conjunction with boots that connect to the ski with use of a binding. Although snowboarding shares the general characteristics of skiing sports, it evolved from surfing and skateboarding and so is not considered a type of skiing. The posture assumed in snowboarding is a side on action whereas the skiing posture is primarily front facing.

Skiing can be grouped into two general categories. Nordic skiing is the oldest and includes sport that evolved from skiing as done in Scandinavia. Nordic style bindings attach at the toes of the skier's boots but not at the heels. Alpine skiing includes sports that evolved from skiing as done in the Alps. Alpine bindings attach at both the toe and the heel of the skier's boots. As with many disciplines, such as Telemark skiing, there is some crossover. However, binding style and history tend to dictate whether a style is considered Nordic or Alpine. Thus, in view of its lack of a locking heel, and its roots in Telemark, Norway, Telemark is generally considered a Nordic discipline.

I am so excited, tomorrow I am leaving for our Skiing Trip. After the last problem, I am so excited. The snow is melted and the sun is out. Perfect for Skiing.
Personally, I enjoy Skiing over Snowboarding.

It's Just Me

Anyway I leave you With This Quote:

Skiing is a dance, and the mountain always leads.

My Final Post for 2008

2008-12-31T18:18:00.001-08:00

I woke up at about 8:00 am and headed downstairs. Quickly checking my e-mail, I grab a bit to eat and change, expecting to leave and preform errands with my dad who luckily has the rest of the week off. I unexpectedly waited until 10:00 chatting with friends on Fa cebook . As the time to go approached to leave and fulfill the items needed, my, brothers and I took White Tahoe. The first stop on the list was Costco. Costco was a thing me and my brothers loved to do, we enjoyed the Saturday samples and listing in on the fiance problems on Dave Ramsey's morning talk show. It was educational and fun listening people scream the traditional 'We're Debt FREEEEEE!' and giggling about their pitches and sometimes tone.
At Costco, the main purpose was to get items for Dad's dental office. We stocked up on the usual;
toilet paper, chips, paper towels, Diet Pepsi, Diet Dr. Pepper, Paper Cups and sometimes 12 packs of Gum. Costco is famous for its cheep food and when our dad was waiting in line to check out, he handed us a crisp $10 bill and told us to buy something at the food court. There where so many items to choose from
we finally decided on the Following:

Jakob Decided Upon a Slice of Cheese Pizza, huge, juicy, Cheesy are some of the many words to describe the Master Piece

A piece of Costco Pizza
(Not Jakobs)

Ian eventually decided Upon a churro, warm, chewy, sugary are some of the words to describe it.

Ian's Churro Looks Looked like This
(Still, it's Not Ian's Churro)
My choice was confusing, but I wanted one thing.
chocolate
I decided upon a Frozen Chocolate Yougart.

After the meham of Eating, we drove to my dad's Office. My Uncle was also there doing Office work when we arrived. Quickly we unloaded and then headed to Walmart to grab 30 one gallon jugs of distilled water. After we headed to Sunmart, got a Coke Icee and a Peperoni stick and headed back the the Office. At the Office we unloaded the water (From all the unloading, I gained some serious upper-body strength) and sat around for a while as my dad entered the Costco & Walmart Receipts into the Computer. During this time Ian and I talked about ideas for his web show and what items of business where to be done. Nothing really good came up, and we just headed home.
At home, I worked on the Season 2 intro for the new shows (coming next month!) and got some advertising (commenting on other peoples vidoes) done.

New Year's Eve
Also called	Hogmanay (Scotland), Silvester (Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine), Réveillon (Brazil)
Observed by	People around the world
Type	International
Significance	The final day of the Gregorian year
Date	December 31, climaxing at midnight
Celebrations	Reflections, Late-Night Partying, Family- Gatherings, Feasting, Present Exchanges, Fireworks
Related to	New Year's Day and Christmas Day

New Year's Eve is on December 31, the final day of the Gregorian year, and the day before New Year's Day.

New Year's Eve is a separate observance from the observance of New Year's Day. In modern Western practice, New Year's Eve is celebrated with parties and social gatherings spanning the transition of the year at midnight.

Many cultures use fireworks and other forms of noise making in part of the celebration.

In the United States, New Year's Eve is a major social holiday. One of the top destination cities for New Year's Eve from 2003 to 2006 has been New York.^[3] Las Vegas is also attracting a large number of New Year's Eve party goers with the famous Las Vegas strip being closed to vehicles and buses.

In the past 100 years the "ball dropping" on top of One Times Square in Ne w York City, broadcast to all of America (and rebroadcast in many other countries), is a major component of the New Year celebration. The 1,070-pound (490 kg), 12-foot (3.7 m) diameter Waterford crystal ball located high above Times Square is lowered, starting at 11:59:00pm and reaching the bottom of its tower 60 seconds later, at the stroke of midnight (12:00:00am). This is repeated for all four time zones in the continental US.^{[citation needed]} It is sometimes referred to as "the big apple" like the city itself; the custom derives from the time signal that used to be given at noon in harbors.

From 1981 to 1988, New York City dropped an enlarged apple in recognition of its nickname. From 1972 through 2006, Dick Clark hosted televised coverage of the event called Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, shown on ABC, and now renamed Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest for the arrival of 2009. From 1956 to 1976 on CBS, Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians serenaded the United States from the ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on Park Avenue in New York City. The Royal Canadians continued on CBS until 1978, and Happy New Year, America replaced it in 1979, continuing until 1995. The song Auld Lang Syne has become a popular song to sing at midnight on New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve isn't a big deal for me. I do the same thing every year. Babysit two children; Ian and Jakob. I didn't know much about it either, I learned most of it from Rugrats (I learned about Hanukkah when I was 5 from it and was so excited to celebrate it). But when you think about it: "This is the last day of 2008 EVER". EVER. And then you think about it again: "This is the last _______ (Enter Date Here) EVER." EVER! My goal is to live life to the fullest, when an opportunity comes up, I try to take it. I think: "I might never have this chance again in my life, whould I regret it?"

An Example of this was in Hawaii:

It was the last day in Hawaii, the day that we where going to go shopping. We where driving around and my Parents decided about hiking Diamond Head. I was board and really wanted to stop and go shopping. At the base of the crater my parents gave my the option of staying with my grandparents at the base or hiking. I thought about it, and decided that I should go. I probally wasn't going to have a chance to go hiking up it again (this was my 2nd time from our trip a few years back) on this day. I would probally regret not hiking it.

I took that oppertunity, and boy I was right. It was hard, but at the top seeing the view, I would have been sad not to have gone. At the top we recived certificates saying that we hiked to the top. It was so fun.

Today I plan to watch the huge ball-thing fall on Times Square even though I wouldn't care less about it. I can see me regretting it later. So in 2009, my goal is to Live Life to The Fullest because there will never be a 1-1-2009 ever again.

Vacation!

2008-11-17T18:38:00.001-08:00

These past Months have been BUSY. Wanting to know what Happened?

Well, I guess I can explain....

˙˙

On September 26th I had an Orchestra concert, but surprisingly at the concert the headmaster from Harvard University niece was in the concert. Watching, Professor Wolfgram was intrested in my playing skills (which are pretty amazing....) and approached me after the concert. He was intrested if I was able to fly down to Massachusetts and help at a seminar. I quickly agreed and the following week I flew down with my mom.

Boston Park

Harvard Campus

The week I stayed was fun, I got credits for school (Yea!), learned alot about music (Double Yea!) and got to teach about the importance of Muscially Education in our Schools (Triple Yea!). I flew back home with mom, souvenirs for friends. The next month (yup, my birthday!) Dr. McDown was interviewing students at school, he was looking for someone to co-produce Rhianna's new music-video.

Okay, I am really board and my brain is in a fart so I don't know what else to fictonally write about.

So whatever I said above was blah.

˙˙˙

What Really Happened?

I was surrounded with projects, here are some of the Below:

Big and Chunky

Me Me & You

Professor Ian

EB Productions

What About You Guys? Been Busy At All?

My Beauty, Is it Because I'm Maturing?

2008-09-23T16:59:00.000-07:00

I Have recently stopped and tried to care about my appearance. But these pasts two days, I have had significant changes in my beauty and appearance. My mom and dad's response is confusing. When I wake up there seems to be shaving cream by my bed. I still question the answer to it, everyone goes through this change in there life, am I correct? I must be because I am maturing but developing facial hair? Must run in the genes or something because Ian is starting to have these changes, but not as dramatic.

Puberty is confusing.

Life

Today was okay, I woke up dreaming about being in broadcast and having to film RHS Homecoming Prom & Game. It was really weird, so I decided to wake up from the dream. When I woke up I at some food, got dressed, the usual.

After 'The Usual' I went to Ian's rainy football game.

The lost, but its okay. Its not like its professional, right?

•••••

Random about Photo's

If you are wondering about the Copy Right, just ask my mom, or let my explain;

My mom will ALWAYS use my photos, and never gives me credit for them! Then everyone will comment on her blog saying how good the photos are. Let me explain this Event:

My mom did not attend the football game because of a lunch for her friend, so she asked me to take photos. So I did and now I posted them first so that way at least some people will know about the crisis. And if she doesn't give me credit, I will sneak onto her blog and make her give me credit.

I'm that Evil

Continued About Life

The rest of the day I sat around, finished homework and checked email from friend Tori. After posting I will call my friend, Kenedy then finish the Chicken salad which is left over from the Lunch.

That's my Day!
