bad news

hey my grandpa died. i am very said. :(

Guess what!

HEYYY!! GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT!!!!

IT'S ALMOST BOAT TIME!!!!!

WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

SAILING!!!!!!!!!!

THE OFF SEASON IS ALMOST OVER!!!!!!

WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

SAILING!!!!!!!!!

'kay, i'm done.

well...

i'm happy to be back(ish)!!!
I have internet again, but i'm still in florida. but i will be home monday, probably. in the meantime, i'll be stuck with only a beach.
the cruise was okay. it was a lot better than other cruiselines. NCL boasts 'freestyle cruising.' They basically, unlike other lines, let you do what you want, when you want. no set dining times and resturants, no certain times to get on and off the ship, even the shore excursions arent run by the ship. that was pretty cool. but there were lots of things that weren't so great. they didn't have very many resturants, they ran out of bananas, they planned stuff they didn't have time to do, ecetera. there's lots of stories to tell, some cool video, and even some fish footage. so i'll talk to y'all soon :]]]]]

1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You're using coconuts! King Arthur: What? 1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together. King Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through... 1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Where'd you get the coconuts? King Arthur: We found them. 1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical! King Arthur: What do you mean? 1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Well, this is a temperate zone King Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land? 1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? King Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried. 1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: What? A swallow carrying a coconut? King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk! 1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut. King Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here? 1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? King Arthur: Please! 1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Am I right?
I love that quote! Though It's very long

Uh-ohhhhh...

"The bad news is the weather tho. it snowed. and it's gonna snow more. i just hope it's not a snow day. ha! like I'll ever say that again."

Wow. That's what i said in a (longly) former post. And now, yesterday, i got to say it again. I'd also have to say it again, again, because we're expected to get lots of dangerous ice. but anyway, i said it again agreeing with Abby because there will be serious problems if school gets canceled. They'd have to mess with finals and they're already stressful enough. it be worse to have them all at once. but luckily, at least as I've heard, the ice will all melt away friday and my several-thousand-dollar-trip won't be cancled. hope that didn't curse anything.

!!!

Come on! only 8 more! i don't even want to think how many are cheater posts like this one. we need to have new material.

Say WHAT!?

I smell a scam! He got fired, then wrote 5 books on how we can save money traveling!? They tried to take legal action and couldn't!? He's gonna give you these 5 books for the wonderful price of $25.99!? No. You know what this guy reminds me of? Billy Mays. This is what would happen if we gave him 15 minute for commercials. he'd keeps trying to sell you the air you breathe for $49.99 ($8.99 shipping and handleing) ughhh

Come ON!

we need 10 more after this. only ten. and with finals here, you have a bunch to talk about. we'll also get more people to write on the blog this summer; there's many more people that are going to come sailing.

Merry Christmas!

I can say that roundabouts now. scary.

I hope y'all are ready for finals. They start Tuesday of next week.

Life in a small town. Pretty cool. Sometimes. Now when you walk half a mile to your house. Especially not when it's raining. But thanks to another small town thing, everyone knows everyone and i got a ride home with Quinton.

I'm caught about in the middle of anxiety, boredom, and excitement. ...what? fine, I'll explain. i'm anxious because finals are coming up. Finals are evil. They're when you have to look at all your tests for the whole year, write down everything on them, study it for hours, then do one big test that has all the information on it. to make it worse, it's 20% of our grades. eek. The boredom comes with sitting inside, in my room, with about nothing to do but homework and cleaning. So here i sit, tip-taping away at my trusty (but not trusted) laptop.

yeah. it froze. again.

and the excitement? well you'd be excited to if you we're going on a Caribbean cruise in less than 2 weeks. but apparently, i deserve a kick in the shins for each mention of that so I'll shut up now.

yeah. that's about it. yep. hmmmm...the post button. in 3...2...1...PUBLISH POST!

YAY!

I AM NOW A LEGAL DRIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Just got me permit! that had a lot of pirate in it. HA IT RHYMES!!! Weird video by the way

Pep Band! Again!

But this one ain't your middle school gig. no. we're playing on the loft tonight. we're 14 feet above the gym, best seats in the house. We also play some good music. Tonight's an A band night which means me, Kitt, and Amy are going out of my friends. the rest can go too but apparently, the don't want to. -rolls eyes-
I'm prolly going to them all. but i guess that's just a little post to keep things in motion. or maybe, my subconscious mind is telling me i'm not getting enough attention and i desperately want you to comment on one of my posts. or email me. or, and this may sound strange, talk to me. like, in person. i know. weirdest thing ever right?

Snow! and Ice!

Life is good. It snowed. not much but it was snow. and, according ot an old wives tale, because it snowed on the 30th of November, we'll have 30 good snowfalls this winter. I like the sound of that! Also, it was about 32 degrees until this afternoon so the snow melted and refroze making all the smooth surfaces icy. I literally slid out of school today, flailing down the sidewalk on the west lawn. People also tried to start a snowball fight but the snow's no good for packing.
Either way, lovely. And now, for the Christmas music. By the looks of it, ya'll are gonna have snow for Christmas. No white Christmas for me. Unless you count the white sand beaches or gleaming white hull of my cruise ship, the Norwegian Dawn.
But if anyone wants to get me a present and give it to me early, i would really, really like an iHome that can charge my iPod and run on 120 volts. If i don't get that, i might have as few as 2 days for my iPod to live on the ship.
And also, email me over break. I know the ship has internet so i'll see if i can find a way to get back. I'm gonna take tons of pics and show you all of them when i can.
But what am i ranting about my Christmas Vacation for? All i really wanted to say was happy December! and a snowy one too!

I'm completely stuffed with mashed potatoes.


WOOOOO


I didn't go "door busting" this morning.


. . .nyeh. Everything's gone by now xP

I went to Super Walmart at 11.30 at night the day before Thanksgiving. And then the latch on the trunk of the CRV broke so I had to sit in the trunk and hold it shut.


owch.


We have ice cream :O


WOOOOTOOMUCHMAKESMESICKWOOOO


And Cool Whip :OO


WOOOOILIKEITBETTERTHANICECREAMWOOOO


Roger stayed the night last night to go shopping at three in the morn' with Jen, but they never did.


He ate sugar free ice cream somewhere between 4.10 am and 6.00 am.


Jenna tackled me when I started playing Christmas songs on the piano.


I gracefully fell off the bench >.>


. . .That is all.

Byyyyyy the wayyyy.....

Someone didn't do a November post....tsk tsk tsk. actually, several someones i believe.

Happy Thanksgiving

Well...not much more to say than that...so Happy Thanksgiving!

background singing of testing 1 2 3.

Actually...

Actually, it's being weird. one thing says we need 5 after this. Another says we need 19. I think my math was off before. but we're gonna go for the one on the right side, not the one on the log in page 'kay?
But either way, we're 3 blogs closer, eh?

boredom

well im randomly writing things right now so i dont know. theres a lot to say like first of all my grandpa is in the hospital and im sad. another thing i have to say is that i cant wait till the lock-in this december for boy scouts.

Goal

good luck with that. nobody has posted for ages. I FINALLY HAVE A CELL PHONE!!!

Uh-oh.

Velocity degrading!
i said we wouldn't have a problem with 200 blog entries by the new year. i'm being like a politicial and retracting my statement. we have 32 after this and not many more days left. i sense a problem.....can we fix it???

Twilight!

Who's ready for Friday? I know I am! The Twilight movie comes out Friday and we (Me, Dalton, Ally, Amy, Kitt, Kayla, Melissa, and Katie) are going to see it at Showplace 12. Hopefully, it'll stay pretty true to the book and be an awesome movie. I can't wait!

November!!!

13 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'MA REAL MUSICIAN NOW!

Hey! Guess what! Remember that guy i posted lyrics from? Jim Hoehn? Well guess what? He invited me to play on stage with him for the Christmas party in Milwaukee this year. And Kevin Mulvenna, another musician who plays with him will be there too. I'm part of the band! I'll burn you all a DVD as a Christmas present

Pics

In case you guys don't check often, i have a new slideshow up. It depicts a sad scene, the boat on her trailer. but we had fun getting her out and moving her around. just hit 'end' on your keyboard and press the up arrow until you can see it all.

hm

YAY my bday is in 19 days! then I finally get my permit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

November?

is it really? seems more like August.

Happy Halloween!

Pirates like candy too, huh?
I think this would have to be a pirates favorite holiday. i mean, what's better than going to peoples house and getting candy?
Too bad the instrumental pirates can't trick-or-treat. but then again, state playoffs is pretty good!
so happy Halloween!
(PS, i am [struggling with the fact that i am] listing to Christmas music accompanying a county market commercial.

It's quiet....

too quiet...

why has no one posted in 5 days. the silence kills me. i get on every day after school and refresh it all night hoping someone will have something to post about. and every day, nothing!

Fix it!

Friday Night

Well that was fun. Except for the rain and coldness. And the fact some part of my mouth was bleeding and I can't figure out where it was from. It's on my hands now and really gross and hard to get off. I'm blaming my mouthpiece, my dad suggested that it might've been so cold it made my lips or something bleed. xDDDDD

bordom

im getting really bored over here because i have to finish my project. also i got a new game or how it meens to me barrowing without asking from my cousins. the game is spore and i lost all of my specis in one day. no kidding i lost them to a man eating monster and it was funny.. it came in the game and started divowering my creatures lol!!! well thats all for today. see ya or how the say in jamaca see you around man.

Home again, home again...

back in illinois. pleasant plains. home.

my b-day

well im 15 and it is time to get my drivers lerning permit so smell yall later. im fricking 15 wwwwwooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUNDAY!

Well that was fun. We went to Lewis Memorial to give our pumpkins to old people.

LOL

We might've set off the alarm there because there was a little keypad we had to push numbers in order to get through the door. It's so the old people won't get out.

LOL

There was some lady there who was 108.

No Joke.

I think her name was Claira or something like that.

I finally got music to practice for the youth group band I play at church.

Oh Joy.

Happy Sunday!

Cookout

Well that was fun I guess. I was originally going to invite Dalton to the cookout (By the way, we should do something together soon dude) but he couldn't so I invited Abby instead. We played the wii, and Abby's mii is 78 on the wii fitness thing. It was hilarious. I am now 49 I played the piano for her a bit and she wants to learn again so I may be teaching her. That should be interesting.

I also painted a pumpkin today. I had a brilliant idea to make it a PacMan pumpkin including the little ghosts. I also got a gourd-looking pumpkin and painted tiny ghosts on them. I'll get a picture of them later :]

All in all, a pretty good night. NO MORE S'MORES! PLEASE!

We also played Sorry and watched a really odd British show about old people or something. It was very strage. I forget what it's called, Leanne you might know.

Well that has to be the longest post I've ever posted.

I get to take painted pumpkins to old people tomarrow at church. Bailey said last time our sunday school class did this an old lady tried to escape behind our class as we left.

This frightens me a little.

LOL

I HATE DRIVER'S ED. How would you like to watch a video of a guy being ejected out of his car and thrown across the highway into a different lane like a ragdoll, then slam against a windsheild, and fall onto the road, only to be ran over by cars over and over and over again. I was-still am scared for life over that. Especially when they replay it five times in slow motion. It almost made me sick. It freaked me out, and also made me want a hug, reasuring that that will never happen. Which is a pretty good chance that that probably won't happen again. . .I hope.

There were more disturbing pictures and stories about safety and stuff, but I'll spare you the details. Mitchell you should know you're in my class. A4. I hate driver's ed.

Be Happy people! Marching Band season is almost over!!!!!! One more game and one more competition to go to next weekend. Thank Goodness! ^^

Well I guess I'm going to bed now, yes I know I'm crazy for going to bed at only 9:30pm

I'm just awesome like that YO.

LOL AGAIN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MITCHELL!!!!! Don't forget to get your permit.

Well talk to y'all later

Bye! :)

P.S. Shampoo really burns if you get it in your eyes. I recommend you DO NOT try this at home.

Also, Have a happy Spastastic Saturday

I am spassing on how long this post is. Comment if you agree.

I got my sister to read Twilight. Which scares me. DEEPLY

!!!HAPPY SPASTASTIC SATURDAY!!!

uhmmmm....nothing to say. yet, i say anyway.

Wisconsin Dells. My home away from home. I love this place. Waterparks, bustling people, busy shopping district, discount ice cream, extreme water slide thrills, lazy hot tubs with snow falling gently, steaming when it hits the water....
i love it.

And all of you guys said you had stuff to do.
i wish you all could be here. it was a long drive but not messy, like usual. we watched movies in the car on the laptop, which i'm using on WOLs server. Wilderness on the Lake.
I've taken sooooo many pictures already and i got here 22 minutes ago. i tired to upload them in the car but to my extreme displeasure, i found i got the wrong computer cord. so i won't have pics until Monday night at earliest. but i'll try to get those the instant i can. and until then, i'll take sooooo many, i'll jam my memory card. and i'll make you sit through them all. but now i'm just rambling as an excuse not to go to bed. though now, i can't get more than 7 hours of sleep. just barely cutting it. i'll get some pics of the dry lakebed tomorrow in the light too and i'll show you before and after. really amazing.
i have soooo many small things to type about, but no time, or desperate need to type about them. so i'll talk to you later. good night. or morning.
and happy spastastic saturday too.

snow ball

im going to a lock in at the middle school or a high school(i dont really know witch school it is so dont patronize me). theres going to be many things to do. so thays all i have to say so smell you later.

Picture time?

Okay, i know almost all of you are doing something really cool this weekend (including me) so i want you to all take lots of pics, email them to me, and i'll put them on the blog slide show okay? i haven't done anything wiht it for a long time because no one has done anything and taken pictures in a while.

random

im bored. really bored. so bored i banged my head on the wall to end it.



another thing is that i wish part of france to be eaten by a big shark or something(no affence france)


oh what else do i have to say............... oh ya im also playing rune scape for some reson and i think its a childhood memory or something but i started playing it again.


another thing david im gald marching practice was canceled


another thing is i think my section leaders hate me or something because there evil and so is my brother.



well tthats all for now folks. catch yall later

Oh wow....

Just wow. WOW.


The funny thing? Well, i found only one thing that COULD NOT happen. That one thing? The front gear breaking. Everything else is possible. Planes DO make emergency landings on highways (the highways are designed for that), cars can accidentally slip past police roadblocks on little used exits, a jeep wrangler could hold the weight the front gear can hold (planes are designed to have very, VERY little weight on the front gear [i.e. only like 2 tons, nothing at all sitting on top of a car]), but the only thing that wouldn't happen is the landing gear breaking. They are designed to handle enormous stresses and would wrap a wrangler around them. other than that, COMPLETELY PLAUSIBLE.

...october?

It is that now isn't it? well, that shows my computer usage. kinda goneish. but it'll be back by wednesday at least. soooooooo basically, happy october, and i'll talk to y'all soon.

UHM

holy f, it's orange.


If everyone else is posting, I guess I will too.


But I really have nothing to say.


uhm


I made cupcakes with Abby. Then we went on a walk through Salem Estates singing "Hot Pockets". People looked at us funny. I tried to wear suspenders, but since I was wearing baggy shorts [aka Snoopy Boxers that say Splash! on the back for some reason. . .] they just pulled my shorts up to my freakin chin. FAIL


Taylor got in a fist fight. Some chubby kid named Jordin Watkins punched him. I guess he punched back, considering he's grounded three feet under.


DCFC concert less than a week away!


uhm


uhm


uhm


I made meatballs and mashed potatoes with the Dysons. They aren't identical anymore :D well they are, but they have a different facial structures, so I didn't have to put a "W" on William's shirt and a "J" on John's shirt. WOO


uhm


I think that's all I can remember


Oh well. Whatever





YAYY




"AUSTRALIA. Where spiders are so big, they have health bars."


O.O

October Continued...

Don't forget about the Great Pumpkin. lol. I love fall. Also becuase I get to drive in what, 49 days now maybe?? I lost track. Can't wait!

October

i love october. it is my favorite month. not because my birthday is this month but because its a time for scaring. all the joys of terrourizing people in one month. how could it get better than that. but it does getting candy, terror on the square, scary movies, etc. so be good and try not to be in the dark. or somthing will get you.

SCUBA

Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
Any of y'all ever tried it. Dalton, Mitch, and I went SCUBA with the rest of Boy Scout Troop 305 Monday night. It's really awesome. If you ever get a chance to try it, don't pass. But if not, your luck may not be out yet. Chances are, when i own a boat on the ocean, I'll invite y'all SCUBAing. Trust me, it's tons of fun.

hmm

well. nobody hasn't posted on the blog for some time now. Homecoming was amazing, slow dancing is fun ^^. Hmmm Last night I had a weird dream that Tabasco sank in the middle of a waterpark. Then the night before I had a dream Abby, Dalton and myself were stuck in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. Then the scene changed to a really wooded area and we were trying to get out of this OLD house. It was really strange.

sorry

dave, im sorry i got angry at you. i just get a little frustraited when your not there when i need someont to talk to. ive really needed to talk to you about a lot of things. a lot of them are things i wont talk to anybody else about. please dont be mad at me.

homecoming

ahhhh. i hate homecoming because i never have a date.. but david, dalton you two are the lucky ones because you two have the guts to ask out the girl you like while i cower at the thought of it and i just cant do it. lonly again mitch

Yay!

I finally got a homecoming dress!!! It's getting alternated though....darn shortness xDDD I also have a new haircut I got today!! 'twas a good day except for getting a blood test at the doctor's office. NOT FUN

-sigh-

What a year.
I'm writing this post so you know i must mean it.
(unlike my spring posts about putting the boat in about every weekend, taking the boats out post only happen once because they're so sad :[[[[ )
Tabasco is probably coming out of the water soon. Though the lake is good for probably another 3 months of sailing if it doesn't get to the point where it stays above freezing during the day, we've had enough issues to want to take the boat out. In case you didn't know, her rudder snapped in half on saturday. it was in the middle of the lake and, trust me, i'm glad none of you we're there. it was not a good experience. With the rudder needing to be put back together, Hal was planning on working in the shop this week. But alas, he has overtime so he will not have the rudder fixed by this weekend. Though it's possible for the rudder to be fixed soon enough to keep sailing, there's another problem.
Tabasco sank. Wow. That sounded dramatic. It's not that bad. She was sitting on her lift over the weekend, exactly how we left her. But yesterday (Tuesday) Hal got a call while he was at work from his friend Bob Ashbaw(i think that's spelled right). When he drove his boat by Hal's dock, he saw that the left pontoon of the lift had sunk. The right cradle was still holding Tabasco but the boat was leaning really far over. It was leaning on the roof of the dock next to Banana Republics dock (I'm glad we took her out). When Hal got on board to look around, she was full of water. The bilge and most of the cabin had filled from the rain and the lake and now the inside is soaked and the bilge is still full. thusly, the probably removal of the boat.
What a year.

My Monthly Post. . .I Guess.

I haven't posted in a month or so. . .I think. I dunno. I can't remember.


Oh well.


Hey, guess what. I can cook stuff. Actual stuff, that involves spices and crap.


I picked piano back up. It um. . .great?


Dalton = Dalto, which = Balto, the wolf. Remember that movie? I loved that movie. Especially Uncle Boris, the old goose. HAAAA


I have a new friend! His name is Taylor. Anna knows him, they're in the same grade! And I think we both agreed that he has awesome hair. So yeah, I'm no longer "that girl that walks Taylor to his bus once or twice a week". But I don't think he even remembers my name, but hey, I asked him if it was okay to be his friend and he said sure, SO FEED THAT TO YOUR PET GIRAFFE.


I might be tutoring a middle school kid. MIGHT. But you know what was ironic? Taylor told me he got his cellphone taken away because he's not doing too well in one of his classes. Sooo, imagine my surprise when Mr. Smith said that the kid who needed help was Taylor. HA, you should've seen the look on my face.


DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE CONCERT 10/11! I'll be in Champaign-Urbana for that weekend. Staying with Jenna at college!

Oh yeah. Amie and I play chess. My score is six wins and one stalemate, and her score is three wins and zero stalemates. Wooty.


Don't I usually put a picture in here somewhere?


Abby says I have ADHD.


Um. . .


I think I'm done. If I remember something, I'll edit it in.

Sad news y'all....

Wellllll.....Banana Republics is coming out of the water tomorrow. Big day. Got a ton of stuff to do but we got a lot done now. I guess y'all wanna hear why....

Well....okay. all y'all that we're on the boat at the beginning of the year....remember how she sailed fast, turned sharp, and looked (without the lichens) very nice? well....not anymore. Those of you who helped close the year....remember how she went really slow, couldn't hold a good course, had a green bottom, and had the strangest footprint in the water? welll.....lets just say we have some work to do. lots of work.
Work that involves taking the boat apart completely and putting it back together.
And i need all y'all's help.

the weather is here....

well, i could go for Buffett quotes and say, wish you we're beautiful, but i have a more important issue at hand. It's storming. I'm sure the paronia will set in soon for some of you. but here in Hicktown Illinois, it's already raining. actually, it started between when i started this post and now but that just means it started in the last minute. anyway, it's raining, and it's gonna storm. but this is just a nice little garden variety storm so be happy! just some rain and some pretty electricity. you should be careful, some people describe this as 'deadly cloud to ground lightning' but you'll all be fine as long as you don't stand in your yard holding something tall and metal. and keep clear of me too xDDD.
but i just wanted to tell y'all to be safe sooooo....BE SAFE! i hope i see you all tomorrow.....

to be continued....

well that was fun.

Finally my parents came home just when the full front of the storm hit. I feel kinda stupid now cuz it was just really bright lightening. But I guess it's cuz I hate storms and now I don't really enjoy being home alone. The two should not go together xD

Home Alone and Freaked

Again I'm home alone. And it's getting ready to storm. Just my luck. I'm sorta freaking out now but my parents should be home in like, ten or so minutes thank god. I'm just distracting myself with this blog thing.

New Game. . . >.<

I have found the World's Hardest Game. Believe me. I've died about 60 times in the first four levels. David, I know you tried it. Everybody else good luck.

Kampsville

Well, i got this at the regatta a few weekends ago (we ate at Louie's) and i meant to put it on the blog but i kept forgetting. but it's still a ways off so here you go...

OLD SETTLERS DAYS
Kampsville, Calhoun County, Illinois
October 11 & 12, 2008
Demonstrations of Old Time Skills . Quilt Drawing
Food Specialties . Live Entertainment
Children's Activity Area . Fiddle Contest
Mountain Men Activities . Carriage Rides
Riverside Encampment - Area Limited
Marquette & Joliet Re-enactment
Civil War Re-enactment
Admission Free
"One of the nicest, friendliest events of the year."
(Please leave your pets at home.)

That is everything on the flier (except a picture of a steamboat that i would rather not find and add) and it looks pretty interesting.
Something it didn't really clarify, it's not really a civil war re-enactment but it is demonstrations of civil war stuff. The cavalry does a few demonstrations and the artillery shoots over the river on and off all day. or at least that's what happened last year. It's tons of fun and lots of stuff for everyone to do.
It's about an hour drive to Kampsville but well worth it. Calhoun County is probably my favorite county in Illinois and i'm sure many would agree with me. There's plenty of stuff to do in that area and it's well worth it. And, if we work this out right, we might be able to 'shoot' at you as you cross on the ferry. that's what we did to my dad last year. it's really awesome and i think you should all come.

IT'S BLOG-TASTIC!

i've been going a little blog crazy lately. in my latest random action, i decided to do something i think is really cool. HIT 'END' ........ NOW!

Finally got this posted....

welllll......

Florida wasn't just all fun for me.
i did some WORK too.
and it was work to show how much i appreciate you.

click to see what is says.
just to show my appreciation. plus there's a funny story that goes with this that I'll tell you if you ask.

I'M STAYING ON SUBJECT!!!

AND WHILE I STAY ON A FORMERLY MEMTIONED SUBJECT, GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!
I FOUND MY IPOD CORD AND CHARGED MY IPOD!!!!!!!!

haHA!

well guess waht everyone!

SAILING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
don't know who yet.
gotta see how many can come.
Mitch hasn't gone at all yet.
Dalton's been once.
Ally twice.
Anna and Leanne have both been many times.
but if we do buy the Hobie, it might be Anna and Leanne.
and i still don't know how many i can bring.
so we'll see.
and hope.
AND CHARGE OUR IPODS!!! ;]
have a nice week! and email if you can come what times and what days

More on the Hobie 18

I was looking up the specs and i found some cool things.
it's a pretty awesome boat
LOA.........................................................18'
Beam........................................................8'
Draft......................................................2' 6"
Sail area (you'll like this).............240 Sq. Feet
Hull construction......fiberglass/foam sandwich
Cool features:
White hull with blue graphics
furling jib
trampoline
low profile traveler
harken blocks
black anodized mast

altogether, a really awesome boat. I'm not promising the one we're buying has all this stuff but it could even have more. like colored sails. i can't wait to get the boat out to the lake and see!

Wisconsin

I guess i kinda forgot to tell you. I went to Wisconsin. but i'm back now. and i had a good time. though i'm feeling a little 'in-need-of-attention.'
and guess what! my little post about a Hobie...it's happening. a white-with-blue-trim Hobie 18! It'll be fast but even more work than a Hobie 16 because 18s have jibs (goobers). But it also has the wing seats so you guys won't HAVE to use the trapeze. not saying it isn't there. from what I've heard, it's it's a really cool boat.
But we don't know when we're gonna get it yet. soon i hope.

But even when we do, the guy that's selling it to us is still gonna come sailing with us every now and then. just another passenger we can scare.
Altough, i also have some news that isn't to good but is subject to change maybe. maybe.
The news i just got is that we may be going to the QC this weekend. it's been to my plan to have a big sailing extravaganza this weekend so we can brag about it when we go back to school. but if i'm 3 hours away, that'll kinda put the brakes on that. so i'm gonna do everything in my power to keep this weekend open for me and tell me if y'all are open for this weekend.
glad to be back,
happy to be getting a new addition to the fleet,
and i REALLY, REALLY missed you guys.

YAY!!!!!!!

MY IPOD IS ALIVE AND WORKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG DANCE EVERYBODY!!!

OMG!

OMG OMG OMG! It's kinda alive and dead at the same time! LIVE IPOD LIVE!!!!!!!

WOO!

Okay, my Ipod screen is finally here. All that's left to do is install it. Wish us luck. I'm making my Dad do it cuz it's more complicated than we though o_0 cross your fingers!

Fleet Action!

Another addition to the fleet! coming soon, a used Hobie Cat! A classic one-design racer, it's built to be fast, slim, and more fun than one person can handle. it's also slightly more dangerous and demands more crew, skill, and attention. but, it'll, no doubt, be the fastest boat sailing on Lake Springfield. now we just have to decide who's sailing what. now that we have 4 sailboats!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHHEEEEEEEEEY HOOOOOOOOOKEEEEEEER !!!!

I CAN HAVE AN IPOD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I BOUGHT A NEW SCREEN FROM IFIXIT.COM AND I CAN FIX IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment now!!!!!!

I NEED EVERYONE to tell me what they're doing the 15th. Friday, the 15th of august. it is highly crucial. HIGHLY CRUCIAL!!!!!1

Tehehe...my turn again...

DANG IT!!!!!!! IT WON'T LET ME PUT PICS FROM MY COMPUTER ON THE BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can play the picture game, too x]]]

That's my cat ^ she was very squished. But she slept there anyway!

This is awkward. . . . . . . . . But I like it. -- Mitchell Davis

but you think that's something. you shoulda seen me before...

the feeling of stress made me distress.
as my good friend Jim Hoehn says:
Good times, Great fun!
Bad Rhymes, Worse Puns!
i think it's something ot live by

It's so true...

Jim Hoehn ROCKS! Good humor and fun lyrics!

Have you ever decided you want to have all your friends see the lyrics for the a really cool or hilarious song? well it happens to me all the time. this is one of those. it's just, no one feels like taking the time to write out Jim Hoehn's lyrics. so i made it my job go type out the good ones. like this....

Kings of Black Velvet
By Jim Hoehn

On a country corner, Gravel parking lot
Sits the old Ford Econoline van that’s all but shot
From the guts of the rusted out van,
Springs a spiritual roadside stand
Where the saviors of soul and rock and roll
Exchange daily thoughts


They spend all day nonchalantly leaning on the fender
The pictures of cool as the bait of a roadside vendor
But to pass the time away, they talk with each other all day
And wonder about the irony that brought them together forever


I’m talkin’ ‘bout the kings of black velvet,
Jesus Christ and Elvis
The religion of contradiction side by side
Some would whisper, it’s kinda scandalous,
Shout, it’s downright blasphemous!
But you can take ‘em both home for $39.95!


Jesus says every morning, when I see your pompadour hair
It reminds me of something that drives me to total despair
I’m talking ‘bout the TV preachers by the dozen,
Who claim to be the second comin’
We drove the money changers from the temple and put ‘em on the air


Elvis says, my man I know exactly how you feel,
There’s no part of my act, my impersonators didn’t steal
You can’t pray in a public school
But there’s no law against singing don’t be cruel
When it comes to the message, I got the better end of the deal.


Those philosophical kings of black velvet,
Jesus Christ and Elvis
The religion of contradiction side by side
Some would whisper, it’s kinda scandalous
Shout, it’s downright blasphemous
But you can take ‘em both home for $39.95!


Well they bet on every car and who was gonna buy what,
They go double or nothing on the totals from a tourist bus
But they could never figure out if someone stone-cold-sober
Would spend their money on the dogs playing poker,
Instead of a couple of good looking velvet hunks like us


Well they talked to Conal Parker and Judice and friends who failed them
Elvis joked about the farmer’s daughter and the traveling salesmen
About Memphis mafia and movie chicks
How Jesus says but Elvis lives
And if the pearly gates are bigger than the ones at Graceland


those conversational kings of black velvet,
Jesus Christ and Elvis
The religion of contradiction side by side
Some would whisper, it’s kinda scandalous,
Shout, it’s downright blasphemous!
But you can take ‘em both home for $39.95!


Well they talked about the tabloid press
And the first floor scandal
Jesus says I put on some tunes when it’s too much to handle
And Elvis my friend don’t take this wrong
But I always prefer those surfin’ Beach Boys songs
But what do you expect from a guy always wearin’ sandals


But there’s one part of your act that I found particularly thrilling
It was the closing line from the show at the Vegas Hilton
Cause when they rolled that stone away,
It would’ve been cool to have a big voice says,
Ladies and gentlemen, Jesus has left the building!


Those resurrected kings of black velvet,
Jesus Christ and Elvis
The religion of contradiction side by side
Some would whisper, it’s kinda scandalous,
Shout, it’s downright blasphemous!
But you can take ‘em both home for $39.95!
Spend eternity on the walls of the double wide
Hey! hey, hey, hey! hey, heyyy!

I know this is all correct*
*no quite. there are 2 spots i couldn't get so i guessed. i'll fix it later.

Okay, I might have lied.

So I might not post once a month. But I'm not sure if this really counts as a blogging thingy because it's more of a . . . short . . . thingamadookie. . .

Anyway. My dad and sister left for England today. Won't be back for two weeks. -insert huge smily- My mom has given me permission to go where ever I want. She even offered to drive. Just as long as it's better than me being home alone. I got a big kick out of this. I rather enjoy my humble abode when it's quiet. But it still means freedom. And freedom is very, VERY nice.







On another note, Ally is going to help me wrangle the cat I gave my grandma into a cage. He has to go the vet. I named him Nyx when I found him, after my favorite character in a book who died. His name has stuck, but the stupid vets spelled it wrong. I was rather put off. -insert shaky fist- After that, we go to see a play with the Dysons. Is it Dysons? . . . Disons? And which one of the those two boys is which? Yes. They are twins. Yes, they are absolutely identical. Yes, it does get on my nerves a bit. Oh, the plays name? Urinetown. Yeah. That's right. There's no spelling error. Frigging URINETOWN. Ah, well. We'll come back and make fun of stuff, and make all the little boppers on Neopets mad by insulting the Warriors books. It is soooo fun. You should see how defensive they get when you roleplay a Warrior cat and die every three posts. Mm, they do not like it. Not one little bit.
Oh dear, this is longer than I thought it was going to be. I really need ADD medication. . .





Oh, and Mitchell Davis [Livelavalive] is amazing.







Alright, I think we're done.



Oh, and someone needs to help me get you guys together at my place for a pool party. I feel the need to make cupcakes, but every time I do, nobody eats them but me. So I need friends to help me with that issue. No, this was not an excuse to have you guys over. Nobody eats my cupcakes.



Seriously. They're delicious. And if you're lucky, they'll be so good that after two bites you go into a diabetic coma.



GOSH, I keep rambling! Okay, I'm done. See you later.

Joke

Okay, my mom, sister and I were driving and on the back of a trailer, some guy typed up a joke: 

Clinton and Obama were on a boat. The boat sank. So who was saved??? 

AMERICA!!!!

Yarrrr!!!

The pirates will be pillaging this weekend. The Tabasco is going in the water for the first time in a while on Saturday and i need a loyal pirate crew. I know for sure Ally is invited, probably Dalton, hopefully Anna, and maybe Leanne. Tabasco is probably the biggest sailboat on lake springfield. It is a Catalina 25 which means it's 25 feet long and a good boat because it's Catalina. Sadly, it'll also be the fastest in the fleet but the only that can't go under the Lindsay Bridge. So while it has speed, BR has mobility. Tabasco will probably be re-christened and if it is, Banana Republics will be christened also. A big weekend.

Picture

Dear lord when was that?!? What in the heck are we doing holding hands anyway!? And yesh. It is going to be very difficult not to giggle during serious parts when I see it with Amy. This'll be fun

-Insert Snazzy Title-

Heylo, everyone. Yes, it is 2. 25 AM. It'll probably be later when I finish ranting :3. I've been putting off posting for a while. I'm going to post probably just once a month. My blogs are long enough to make up for it, so smile, starshine!
Hmm, now I'll try and recap on the interesting things within the past month. . .


- I've been obsessing over BMTH. Mainly Oli Sykes, because he owns a shirt that says 'MEAT SUCKS!'


- My mother signed me up for Vacation Bible School as her sewing helper. I will say this one thing: do I LOOK like I belong at VBS?! Know what else sucks about VBS? Jesse is there. Yes, the one person Leanne has been avoiding for six months has shown his face yet again. Well, more like I've been forced to come out of hiding. He wasn't there the first day, but the next week I dragged Abby with me. And guess what? He was there. I went to take headcount to see how much fabric I would have to order Abby to cut up [lolz], and then he turned around, and I quick-walked outta that room like Dr. Phil out of an asylum! But what really made me laugh was this: I had a bow tie that I had pinned on with a safety pin. Abby and I were outside, and my mom called my cell to tell me t\o bring the pin back. I made Abby do it since I didn't want to look at Jesse. Or have him see me. So Abby took the pin back, and apparently, Jesse mistook her for me! He walked- no, he WADDLED [like a duck] up to Abby and said, "Hey!" with the most enthusiastic voice in the industry. He then proceeded to bounce from one foot to the other and say, "I don't know why I'm bouncin'!" At that point, Abby shot him an awkward smile and came back over to me. Abby and I have come to the conclusion that Jesse is menatally challenged, especially since he's with the middle school kids, and he's turning 16 soon. How do I know? He told my mom that he wanted to invite me to his party. In the car, my mom gave me permission not to go. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTT!!!!!!!! And he spelled 'double' wrong on a note he gave me. He spelled it 'dubble', and I prefer to stray from people who can't spell simple words OR my name. Plues he shaved his head nad it creeps me out. And he's shorter than I am. And he's an all around creepy person. Sigh. I had to go just last week by myself. I avoided him rather well, but I had no friend to hide behind, so I sat on the floor, turned my iPod volume up, and proceeded to make a 'tornado braid'. I know, I'm a little immature. But I swear. . .I could probably be much worse [xDD].


- Ally and I have plans to go see Twilight when it comes into theatres. We are going to bring the book and a pad of paper to keep track of all the things they do wrong. Oh, and some markers so when the lovey dovey parts come up, I can write 'EEW!' in big letters and hold it up. It's going to be the shizz. Then Ally shall go again with Amy and pretend to like the movie while trying not to laugh during the serious parts. I'm sure we'll get thrown out for being disruptive with our comments and giggling. But hey, It'll be worth it.


- I have realized that when I sit with the laptop on the front portion of my bed, where my head is, I barely get wireless. But when I sit at the foot of my bed, I get plenty of bars. I find that weird. Sorry if you don't.


- My sister threw a party. There was one guy that I found rather odd. He looked like a petite girl. He was shorter than me by maybe two inches, and I swear he wears size zero girls jeans, which is around like. . . I dunno what size boys. Really small though. That wouldn't have been so weird, but he had TATTOOS. So obviously, he's not as young as his tiny frame portrays, but I mean SERIOUSLY! He looked and dressed like a teenager, but TATTOOS??! Augh, it was so confusing. Oh, and I think his skinnies that he cut off at the knees were tighter than mine -.-' It freaked me out. So now I'm puzzled. But I got to see Patrick again! YAYYY, PATRICK!!!!! And I got tons of Oreos! YAYYY, OREOS!!!!!


- Project Runway, season 5. Blayke didn't go home. I was very happy. He's my new favorite.


- I haven't seen Mr. Wriggles in a while. Huh.


- Every morning I get up, and I go out to check the skimmer basket. Every morning I dip my hand in and pull out a handful of frogs. Every morning I have to chase them away because they sit there doing nothing, and I begin to worry that they're schizophrenic.


- I subscribed to TAI tv on iTunes. Very funny, and it's always a joy to have easy amusement right there in front of you. Oh, and it was free. Wooteth.


- My mom and I went to the Muni last night. Hey Davey, remember that big shiny box? We drove past it. It's not as shiny in person.


- My mom and I stopped at the brand new Super Walmart on the way home. aka 11 o'clock at night. It was cool. My mom let me purchase whatever I wanted within sense. I got corndogs, applesauce, Fuze juice, 24 cans of Mountain Dew, strawberry cake mix, icing, and a huge tub of raspberry sherbet. Oh, and a Ratatouille Kleenex box. It is for my room only.


- I got Abby some random stuff from Victoria's Secret for her birthday. One of the items was Soap-on-a-Roap. Was I implying something? No. I don't believe I was.


- I had the biggest headache two nights ago. I couldn't sleep. It was dreadful.


- Last night I slept on my bed in a giant pile of pillows and blankets. I t was very comfy. Surprised that I still sleep with a comforter even though it's summer?


- I went over to Amie's and we used the webcam on my camera to film the most ridiculous clips. Yes, my webcan has sound, also. We re-watched one of them and we couldn't stop giggling. I deleted them though, because some of them were rather dodgey, and we looked like had just risen from the grave. Blehh.


Well, I think that's all of it. These are in no specific order in time. Speaking of time, my laptop's time is off by an hour, so if it says I posted this at 2.08 AM it's wrong. It is in fact 3.08 AM, and I'm trying not to wake anybody. So I bid you all farewell, lovelies!

I like Ally's face in this picture. The quality isn't as good as it could be, but I'm sure you'll get another chance to see it.

Gooonnnnneeeee....

well. I'm away for the weekend. all the way down to Florida. but just for the weekend. I won't have the computer so i won't be on aim but there are other computers i can use to check my email. and I'll take tons of pics for you guys. and I'll probably buy you all souvenirs though it's probably too late to ask you what you want (oops). but i'll get bakc to you monday or tuesday. i hope you all have a spectacular weekend. in fact, i hope it's better than mine. :]

Soooo True

FAIL! NOT GOOD

okay. well now i'm really mad. and so's everyone else. NO ONE got to swim. Dalton has him mother angry at him. My father has got me soooo mad at him. Ally didn't get to do stuff with us. Seirra is on crutches. Anna had to go home. Leanne doesn't have all her friends to come over and swim. and today everything was chaotic.
well now i'm starting to hate this. but i have soltions for most of it. Dalton, you're welcome to stay over the night sometime. like soon. my father is beyond help besides silent treatment. Ally, i promise Dalton will do something special. Seirra (who doesn't read this blog that i know of) willll (back me up on this leanne) hopefully get invited to swim with all of us sometime. Anna, i will....take you to dinner. or a movie. or both. and Leanne, i'm sure we can get everyone physiced about swimming again. i'll se what i can do. and you're all getting invited out to the boat club sometime. soon.
i'm gonna post the other important news later so not to ruin the idea of this post.

Finally Home

We just got home a few mintues ago. Finally. It's been too long of a trip to me. Yesterday was tons of fun (hint of sarcasm). I passed out in Wendy's maybe because of the high altitude. Still feel a little woozy, but a lot better than yesterday. NO fun at all. The rest of the trip was fine though. Although while passing out I hit my nose on the counter and there is a slight bruise there . . .I'll post more later.

100th post!!!! (well...almost)

Congratulations!!! this isn't the 100th post! we passed that one. done and gone. so now i have an ambitious goal for all you ADD and ADHD diseased kids. we are going to try to have 200 posts by the new year. i know that will be easy but you need to help me.

i'd also like to show you a couple pics from the recent (read: 2 hours ago) storm. it was pretty cool here. a lot of weird stuff was happening. lucky, not to much lightning and no severe damage. but the rain did a lot of funky stuff.
nevermind, it won't let me use my own pics. i'll work on that...

IT'S BEEN DECIDED!

I've finally decided what's going on with who is doing what on board my boat. this is a listing of the known positions of those who have told me what they want to do.

1. David- Captain
2. Anna- Foredeck Crew (Goober Operator)
   
3. Ally- Senior Weapons Officer
4. Dalton- Junior Weapons Officer

The rest of you have to tell me what exactly you want to do and we'll figure it out. 'kay? see y'all later!

4th of July weekend!

wellllll....i hope you all had a wonderful 4th of july weekend. i know i did. Leanne helped me clean the boat Thursday and friday. we went sailing a bunch friday. then Saturday, Leanne was out then Anna came out and we watched the fireworks over the lake. we were even anchored the closest, almost right underneath them. it was a lot of fun. we even went for a brief night sail right afterwords. today, we're planning on going out again as soon as we can but i'm still awaiting a call from anna. the wind is pretty nice today so i can't wait to get out there. so i hope y'all had tons of fun!! :]

Woot!

The Banana Republics is finally in the water. It took a loooooong time but she's finally floating in the lake. we went sailing yesterday and there are 2 pretty exciting stories to go with that one day of sailing. But a special thanks goes out to Leanne. she's discovered the dirt and mold on my boat is her pet peeve so she did a lot of work and scrubbed a couple parts of the boat clean. we've decided that i'm going to have a party on the boat sometime in july but i have to figure out when everything's good to go. (including the boat which needs much maintenance.)you should all thank leanne for deciding she's gonna clean the boat. and you should thank me for helping (well, doing actually) put the boat in the water. so watch your phones and give me your numbers so i know for sure. i'll call if we're going sailing. have a fun week y'all!

Vacation xD

I'm leaving tomarrow morning to Utah sometime before 9:00am. I have NO braces now, but I have to wear a retainer at night. We'll be gone until maybe the 12th of July. Yes, it will be that long. THREE DAYS IN THE CAR ON THE WAY THERE, THEN THREE MORE DAYS ON THE WAY BACK. I've forgotten how boring it is. I will bring lots and lots of books and Dvd's

Chigo

i went to chigo (chicago) this weekend. we got lost, expirenced road rage, went to the Shedd Aquarium, went swimming in lake Michigan, got hypothermia, got lost again, cheaked into the hotel, walked 20 blocks, threw napkins at the people sitting near us in the resteraunt, walked 20 more blocks, ate some icecream, and fell asleep. all in the first day. today we went to the Brooksfield Zoo, got lost, and in the car ride home made signs like "Honk to save the polar bears" and " please, Honk! ...please?" no one honked. i saw an okapi, and a giraffe. im so tired and my legs are so sore, but in a good way.

Sailing...again, and again, and...well you get it.

I know i've said this before but we're putting the boat in tomorrow. we might put it in today but it's definatly going in tomorrow. i need to know who can crew and i'll see how many people i can bring. it might be up to 3 or 4 ;] But i'll tell more when i know more.

PARTY

Yesh today was loads of fun. We went to knight's action park from 10:00am-3:00pm. I went on the Devil Ray, and of course, I screamed. Jared laughed. . . He works there so he took time off and my cousins and I went with him. Loads of fun, except a little sunburn and bugbites.

The Civil War....again

Ready the guns! it's time to go to the civil war. i'll be fighting in the civil war this satruday in teh community park in jacksonville. it's pretty easy to find. you can show up about 9 on saturday and there's plenty of stuff to do related to the civil war. The battle starts at 3 so anyone who wants to see the civil war, particularly the first texas artillery. ;] so if you're free saturday, something to do pretty close to home.

Civil War

Passing a message through to Anna ^^ Dave says the Civil War stuff starts at 9:00 on saturday and the battle is at 10:00

wooooow.

i am thoroughly amazed. i looked at the thing on the side, and i'm like the only one who DIDN'T post this week. pretty amazing. and i'd also like to welcome dalton to the blog. in case you didn't know (what rock were you sleeping under) he is DACATSINTHEBAG. so now we'll have even more posts on here. have a happy summer y'all!

DIE U OCTAIDER

kewl it actually worked. but anyway... i hope the death of a thousand spiders comes upon the infedel of a spider under your bed.!.

loooooooolz

Spider!!!

Okay, there is a spider somewhere under my bed and it won't come out. This morning I saw it, but I didn't get a chance to kill it because my feet were bare xD
On another note, I won't be here July 1st through the next couple weeks after that. Utah again. and I won't be here next weekend because we're going to see some play in Branson I think.

I'm Still Alive!

I know, I haven't been posting blogs as regulary as I usually do. . . But I'm sure nobody minds. After all, my blogs are pointless and stupid, but I like them that way!!! So anywhooo. . .I made dinner tonight. Asparagus [eew], rice, hot dogs [HA], and scrambled egss. It was weird. On the bright side, I get paid to help my mom since she has to wear a 'boot' since something's wrong with her ankle. She said she accidentally stepped into the skimmer basket O.O. that would huuuuurt! But anywho, again, I get paid to do this stuff, and I enjoy feeling like I have money. Sooo. Although money and I have a very poor relationship, because he/she never sticks around long enough for us to get to know one another! But I haven't spent any money lately, cuz I was waiting until the stupid webstore I liked restocked. BUT, [giggle] when they DID restock, they sold out in like. . .half an hour. SO. Now I have 55 dollars sitting around, and another 50 dollars in Hot Topic giftcards sitting around too! Because I haven't been to the mall or out of town lately. Pff. Speaking of out of town, my cousins and Aunt from England are coming to stay with us for a bit in October. I'm actually happy to see my two obnoxious cousins! I miss British people lots :[ Yes, I am a HUGGGEEE fan of Europe, especially England. So. I'll be seeing them, yay, and they're lovely accents. And then I will demand that they stuff me in a suitcase and take me back to England with them. My Dad and sister get to go to France AND England. I only got to go to England and Wales x[ I wanna go to France. . .Oh well. I went on a cruise with my mom to Baja California Sul, so I guess we're even. So. Hey, ever notice that I always seperate my topics with 'so' or 'anywho'? I think it's just a bit weird. Any- DANGIT! Well, I just rambled fer a bit. I'm quite satisfied. I just felt a bit guilty about not posting, cuz I know you all love it when I do ;] . . . . . Okay, I was joking. I can be a bit faux-vain sometimes. Hehe.

Alright, till another time, my pretties ;]

Tired and Sunburned xDD

Well, my cousins from Utah are finally here. We picked them up last night, and didn't get to sleep until one or so. We all went swimming at our grandparents noon until four thirty-ish. Most of us got fried cuz we didn't put on sunblock (forgot) xD not fun at all.

nocturnal

its around 1ish and im more awake than i am at school most of the time. i am officially nocturnal, except at night im confined to my room so theres not much point in being nocturnal. i cant sleep, ive been eaten alive by mesquietos (metric spelling of mesquetos), and im being forced to wear headgear that limits my neck movement to the point that im going insane. im gonna go crazy i tell ya! laura says i have to get off the computer now so i hope you night is better than mine.

my upcoming disaster continued

This is becomeing too hard for me, a person who has never been good at planning. so, this is what ive decided to do, if it doesnt work, then sorry cause im all out of ideas. the party will be friday the 20 from 5:30 to 9 and if you want to spend the night, then pickup is at 10ish. its still at my house, the same people are invited, and i still want bubble wrap. RSVP at 726-6782. this can only get better... i hope.

WOOOO!

Edwin reporting for duty -giggle- I said duty. . .

anywho, just posting to tell you that Agatha and I HAVE INDEED made a debate [wow]. It's posted here. Read if you want, we don't really care. We only do it to get things off our minds :D. So read or don't, cuz we're just rambling basically. . .

G'BYE!!!

Duct Tape Sword

Well, I attempted to make a sword out of duct tape. It's actually pretty cool, and could leave a bruise or two o_0 It took up about one and a half rolls of duct tape. I might make another for the co-captain if I have enough left.

FINALLY!!!

All you pirates will be glad to know, the namesake of this blog, our pirate ship, the small yellow boat, is finally going in the water!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know when but it's finally ready to go in. we have the state license finally so the plan would be, find a windy day, set the boat in the water off the trailer, get the gear in the appropriate places, put on the rudder and trolling motor, motor the boat to hal's dock, maybe take the mast down and do an inspection it we're feeling we have time, take the gear out, clean the boat at least a little, get the gear back in, stow all the gear, get the sails out, make sure we have 4 good sails and everything's in it's spot, then hop on, head into the bay, hoist sail, and haul over to the bridge, where we'd get the lake license, head back to the club, and put a whole bunch of stickers on all or our boats. and all this COULD (i.e., probably won't but there's a super slight chance) happen tomorrow. so man your telephones and i'll call if i want help. cause i'll need it when we do put this in. so everybody, email with your family plans for fathers day and tell me if you can anytime soon! it's pirating time!

my upcoming disaster

guess what? im turning 13, and im clueless when it comes to my party. we have the day and the general time, but everything else is kinda fuzzy. im makeing this suff up as i go along, so bear with me: its on Saterday June 22 from 4 pm to 9pm and if your a girl and want to spend the nite, then 8am. its a pool party, so its at my house, 604 old tippicanoe harisson park. every one who writes on the blog is invited. and if its possible, i want bubble wrap for my birthday. this is gonna be a disaster, so brace yourselves.

T'Ain't a car....

I found my car! well not so much. more my VEHICLE. it's small, red, and has 2 wheels ;]
I love it.
This is the one that isn't the truck by the way. i'm still gonna get an old ford pickup truck. but my nice Suzuki motorcycle is only $8000. and to make it better, it's a touring bike. that means comfortable for 2 people, not hard for 1. sounds like fun!

Thursday

Yeah My house most likely. You'll have to come later in the day probably. I'll call you later tonight

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYY

Hey Ally- I believe the correct name is She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Annnd, I went with She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to go see Kung Fu Panda yesterdaaaaay. It was funneh. But two weeks or so ago [LOL], I went to go see The Strangers, and it scared meh pants oof! If you're looking to hide behind your hands and plug your ears, that's the movie fer you!
BTW -- Thursday, yer house, mmk?

Wisconsin Dells (and Lake Delton)

Remember how I've promised all of you you will come to Wisconsin Dells with me some time? Well you'll be interested to learn (or maybe you already know) the beautiful Lake Delton, overlooked by my grandparents condo, had emptied itself into the Wisconsin River. The lake sat RIGHT behind (and 4 stories below) their condo. the building even had an infinity pool that made it look like the pool was connected with the lake. now, where there was a beautiful lake, there's a big mud puddle. fun right? we were even gonna bring the Banana Republics, or the sunfish up next time we went up in the summer. well that plan's off until the lake refills. if you wanna know what happened, go to Google news and search lake delton. i'm just to lazy to do that for you now.

Hmmm

Well, I possibly might not be on as much because my cousins are coming sunday. I already told Leanne about the movie David. Question is when to tell some other certain person whom shall not be named

New, new writers

well i sure know i had a great time yesterday! it seems like we all had a great time! Ally still has to tell Leanne....And by the way guys, Dalton has been invited to the blog because, technically, he is part of the crew. besides, he's not bad, he's just impulsive. very impulsive.

Used Curmudgeon...

Anyone local looking for a cheap, used, good condition, well maintained sailboat? The Curmudgeon is still for sale and we can't put the Tabasco in the water until the Curmudgeon is sold. i'd like to keep the boat local cause it's an awesome boat and it's pretty cool. not to worry if you want it and you're local. if you can put it in Lake Springfield, I'll teach you how to sail. but like i said, we can't get the Tabasco in the water until the curmudgeon is sold. so y'all out there with parents that wanna spoil there kids in a new way, make them buy this boat. i'll even help fix things on it. but please just by the boat. only $2,500 and that's 22 foot boat, sails, and outboard. probably worth at least $5,000. but we need it out of the way.

more travels....

Good Morning! or not. well I'm home again. I went to Bloomington for the parrothead party, Live at the Lake. it wasn't really at a lake....but it was fun anyway. also, i would NOT suggest the Clarion hotel inf Bloomington. probably the worst hotel I've been to yet.
but on a different subject, I've started a travel journal. but this one is different. it's on my computer so i can't loose it. I've been making entries from where i travel but since I've had it for one day, it's not to big yet. but i might post entries on here too so keep your eyes open. i've gotta go but i'll talk at y'all later.

Worst Day Ever

Today sucked. First our yard is practically flooded from the rain, and our canopy thing on our patio is broken. Then we found out we might have to get rid of our old prelude car because there's tons of problems with it, and it's an '88. Things pretty much went downhill from there

Mr. Wriggles

I have a new friend/enemy. His name is Mr. Wriggles. Mr. Wriggles and I have a very odd relationship. You see, Mr. Wriggles is a small, black spider. I have superior reason to believe that Mr. Wriggles will not die. For you see, I have seen Mr. Wriggles four times. I have squished him twice. And yet, Mr. Wriggles continues to return to my line of vision every day. An odd relationship indeed. Mr. Wriggles even travels with me. Today as my mother and I left our house, I saw Mr. Wriggles perched on the bottom right corner of the windshield. And Mr. Wriggles stayed there, before I tapped the glass and he retreated to the inner depths of my mother's automobile. Since then, I have failed to see Mr. Wriggles. But I have no doubt in my mind that he will not cease to visit me again. As a matter of fact, I do believe I have seen two of Mr. Wriggles' cousins today. One just a matter of minutes ago, the other early today around 1.30.

The one I just experienced I shall call Ralph Jr. Ralph Jr was an extremely small, tan spider. Ralph Jr decided to dangle himself right in front of my face as I instant messaged David. At this I let out an 'eep' and typed 'OMGG' into the text box. I then swiftly grabbed a spare sheet of paper, folded it around Ralph Jr, and disposed of him in the garbage bin. Such a short, short life for Ralph Jr.

The other black spider, whom I shall call Big O, was caught in the skimmer basket of my pool earlier today. Ooh, Big O, how you scared me. With a body the size of a peanut shell and legs as furry as my uncles, how could one not be scared? And of course I didn't want to reach my hand in there, for I knew Big O was still alive, even underwater, for I had had a similar experience just a few days ago. But that story shall be saved for a little longer. I forced my mother to empty the skimmer basket, for I would not even travel within a five foot radius of Big O, as childish as that sounds. But if you would have seen the size of Big O, I doubt you'd be very eager to rush up to him and share a chit chat either. But alas, my mother did not kill him. Big O is out there, waiting for the right moment to strike again.

Ah, yes; the other story. A couple of days ago, I emptied the skimmer basket for my Mother. And of course, there was another particularly large spider. But this one was a sandy colour, and not nearly as fat as Big O. And I suppose if I had to name him, I would name his Smittion. I grabbed that skimmer basket [wearing my mother's pink rubber gloves, of course] and pulled it out. Luckily, Smittion was moving slowly. I dumped the basket on the ground and waited for Smittion to come out, a chunk of wood at the ready in my hand. There was no way in high heaven that I would crush such a giant spider such as himself with my flip-flop wearing foot. To know that one inch below my foot, Smittion's guts and now lifeless limbs were being pulverized and smashed? That would be a nightmare. No of course, once Smittion came out, I dropped the piece of wood, and boom. Bye bye Smittion. Of course I felt a little bad. No one likes to kill things. But I was being naive, and shouted, "What?! WHAT?!?!" at the dead corpse of Smittion. I was feeling powerful that I had slayn such a gruseome Beast. Well, Beastling. If I had killed a tarantula, ohh, that would be a Beast. If I had done that, I would have promptly wrapped myself in tin foil and galloped around on a broom with a plastic sword. All the while chanting, "I have slayn the dragon! 'Tis a safe world once more!" But of course, everyone knows that the world will never be completely safe.

Did you know that in a regular situation, one is never more than three yards from a spider?

Yes, I was scared too. Ah, but Mr. Wriggles, the thought of you will never die. You small, spider. Only the size of a small peanut, and with a midnight blackness and two white spots on your tiny little head. Your appearance would remind one of a black fluff ball, you were so small and bunched-up. You always took things on that were far larger than yourself. You would raise those two front legs of yours and refuse to let your opponent get behind you. Your opponent in this case, a stick. a stick that was thich enough to fit three of you in the end. But you took it on, Mr. Wriggles. And you get props for that, my friend and best enemy. The next time I kill you, Mr. Wriggles, I shall say, "Mr. Wriggles, I'm afraid I must kill you again."


Ooh, look. There he is.

Excuse me.

Mr. Wriggles, I'm afraid I must kill you again.

You can help us with weaponry Anna ^^ I think we'll need it . . .

ANOTHER trip!?!

Guess what I'm doing AGAIN! i'm traveling. tonight I'm at Dalton's house and tomorrow night i'll be in Washington by Peoria. we're also going to the farm tomorrow which'll hopefully be tons of fun. Probably pretty muddy. i'm being kicked off though so i'll see y'all later. moi out!

go summer! and i cant wait to go sailing! can i be captain or cocaptain of something?

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

I hope you're all having a great Memorial day. If you see a bunch of matching flags on matching poles that suddenly sprouted up through out your neighborhood, that would be us. I got up at 6 and voluntarily did that work so we could all have a patriotic Memorial Day. I'm also doing a ceremony of some sort at 11. i'll tell you about it once i figure out what it is. but until then, see y'all!

school....is out!!!!!!

well it's finally here. the day that always takes the longest to get here. the last day of school. a half day on tuesday and Leanne, Ally, and I are done with the middle school building. and Anna gets a whole new set of teachers (including Mr. Barrett (lucky Anna)). 8th grade promotion was friday so now Ally, Leanne and I are OFFICIALLY high-schoolers. GO FRESHMEAT! i'll be able to walk to school next year. so while you guys' bus routes stay the same, and you get home at the same time, i don't have to ride a bus, and i get home right after school gets out. so i won't be the last one on AIM anymore. but it's soon to be dinnertime y'all so i'll talk atcha later! toodles!

sailing

Allrighty then. Dalton shall be co-captain. This should be loads of fun. AND Hey, I was allowed to go, I just didn't want to for the last time! I have my reasons, I'm just not going to tell.

Six Flags (over mid-america)

wellllll... i wonder where we went today. some of us anyway. poor Ally didn't get to go and Anna probably won't get to go next year. but hey! what else are road trips for? on a brighter note, we (Dalton, Nolan, Mitchell, Cole, and I) had a great time and didn't fight (too much). on a weirder note, we saw Dakota Sims (almost a past girlfriend but she moved). and we only saw like 2 other people from our school the whole day. but Mr. Mohawk was following us around (creepy). but iz finally food time so I'll add some fun stuff later. taa y'all.

weaponry

Dalton here: ally, as co-captain of weaponry, i suggest we hit Nolan with lots of things. this is gonna be a fun summer....and D, bring lots of soda. D here again: ya see? he put himself as co-captain of weaponry. but you'll enjoy the help. and yes. hit nolan. fun to come, lots of soda, sounds like a great summer to me! :] see y'all

Midnight ramblings...

happy Wednesday to y'all! it be Wednesday now. but only barely. So yeah, Dalton is staying over. we've mostly just been playing video games. I'm amazed my mom hasn't yelled at us to get our butts into the basement and stop making so much noise. but we're concluding our night now. and on a different subject, WOOT! IT'S FINALLY TIME FOR THE 8TH GRADE TRIP TO SIX FLAGS!!!!! it seems my whole middle school career was leading up to this point. but now it's finally here. the two worst things though, are that Nolan's going and Anna isn't. but other than that, it's bound to be fun. soooo... I'll talk to you later. see y'all.

concert

and awesome solo to you to Ally! and while I'm going on, good playing Leanne and Anna!

Sailing

I'm up for sailing! Mainly just captaining weaponry. I'm in need of a co-captain though! Awesome on the solo david! hmmmmm. . . I shall start planning the weapons soon

sailing

I'm up for sailing. Mainly being captain of weaponry, but still! LOL. Solos rocked at the concert. Go us!

wow.

what happened guys? it's been a week and no new posts. 15 one week and none the next. schools almost out! you have plenty to talk about! like sailing memorial day weekend -coughhinthintcough-

yeahhhh...

Collection of funny moments in sailing. All filmed in last few years at practice and international regattas. Snow was in Athens, February 2004, with -18 degrees temperature. Celebration is filmed after winning 420 Europeans by Croatian team I was coaching, Matija Longin and Pavle Kostov.

wouldn't that be fun. not quite what goes on at the lake. -18! not quite.

I hate...weather

D here. continuing L's list for my self.

1. when you plan to do something and the weather changes your plans
2. when that happens but it turns out you could've gone out with your plans
3. when those both happen then the weather changes any your plans get aborted in the middle
4. when you can't make plans because it's to cold to do anything
5. when you can makes plans then it gets cold

in case you didn't get the hint, sailing might have to be postponed for a later date. AND before you complain:
Saturday: Partly sunny, with a high near 66.
Sunday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 67.
so don't shake your fists (or peanut butter) at me, just at the weather. and more info to come...

Psh. Who needs to MAKE a sword?

OMG IT'S SO AWESOME! My dad found this REAL sword in the attic from WW2 we think. It has the swastika and everything! If it could only talk . . .hmmmm

sunday

I'm up for sailing sunday if I remember to ask my parents. I'm pretty sure they'll let me go. .. ya never know. Say hi to daniel for me.

Randomossity

Anna was here. Anna was here for no particular reason at all other than to wright anna was here. So, Anna was here.

More of the ranting you know you love <3

So, I was listening to the rapid chords from the song F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. by The Fall of Troy, and then all of the sudden, I felt like ranting. I suppose the random beat set my mood, that or these cookies I have sitting beside me.
And if it IS the cookies, well I suppose I've created something ingenious, and completely useless, too.

Do you know how many types of Google search engines there are? Well, there are a lot.

1. Google.com

The basic search engine, probably the most used, too. Google has everything you could possibly want in a search engine. An image search, and even a button that says, "I'm Feeling Lucky"- which I have never used, and do not intend to. They have maps, for all the times you feel you need to be reassured that your town is not the last on the face of this crumbling planet. The news is something to keep up with, and, of course, they have that, too. What does Google NOT have, really? They have shopping, and mail, and heck, they're the reason Blogspot is even around! But my favorite part about Google, is that on special days, they change their font on the "Google" title. That, is by far, what makes it.

I have now changed the song to Don't Hold Back by The Sleeping. Let's see where it takes us.

2. Blackle.com

One of my other favorites, and not because it's in black. Blackle saves energy, and that, definitely earns it some brownie points. Although Blackle doesn't have all of Google's outgoing features, Blackle is helping to saving our planet. And that, my friend, is EXTREMELY important.

Now, the song is Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson. And yes, it IS in GHIII version, because a) GHIII is AMAZING, b) this guy didn't miss a single note, c) it had the best sound out of all the others.

3. PinkGoogle.com


All the fun of Google, but with a pink background! The girls have really outdone themselves on this one ;]. It may not have all of the features, but hey! The fun color makes up for it.

The song now? Well, now it be The Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band. It's the new version, aka the version from GHIII. The original version is a country song. So I'll give you two choices: COUNTRY or ROCK. But I must say, the guitar in the rock version is. . .just WOW. As in, I didn't know it was possible to play that fast, WOW. But I have both versions.

OH BUGGER.

My computer is making funny noises, so I'll have to finish this in Part 2, mmk?

XOXOXOXO

Cubs and Cards...

For myself: GO CUBS!!!
For Ally: GO CARDS!!!
I guess we'll just have to listen to that later won't we....
be sure to tune in and listen to the series closer today.

catching up and running away.

mmmk. where to start. okay.

1. no i don't have shun taped to my hat.
2. the dance was tons of fun. (and I'm not trying to make you jealous for not going.) i danced with Anna like 7 times and that's just the slow dances. we also bothered mr smith by dancing right in front of him. he wouldn't look at us.
3. and finally, GO CUBBIES!!! they're bringin' it back. one more game in the series and now it's tied. though the cubs have done better scoring a total of 12 runs in both games while the cards only scored 8 total. but i guess we'll see who's better tomorrow Allyson.

and now that I've caught up, i mean to tell you that yet again i'm in a hotel room over an hour away from ya'll. this one's a stony creek inn. particularly nice. so if you're ever in east Peoria and ya need a place to stay, dig up your trusty phonebook and give this place a call. the softest bedsheets EVER!
D Out!

P.S. guess what!!! the boat might go in next weekend! and i'll need a trusty crew....whose game???

Cubs vs. Cards

Oh well the cards lost :( but hey, cub fans *cough cough* at least we've won some world series in the past hundred years!

So How Was the Dance?

I'm curious to know, since I wasn't there! But my night was kick butt, none the less. Juicy details later, I'm leaving again in an hour and a half!

stupid.

STUPID PARENTS' Birthday part made me not go to the last dance of the year :( I was sad. I tried getting on AIM but that obivously did NOT work. Fine, I'll have it your peoples way and get a good shade of red! By the way D, you still have the shun taped on your hat?

borred

borred.

Plan your next roadtrip with MapQuest.com: America's #1 Mapping Site.

so what are ya gonna do?

D out ya'll

I Hate ... Being Sick

Yes, I was slightly sick today. I went home 30 minutes early and made cookies. They are DELICIOUS, and I'm bringing them to school tomorrow to share with my friends because I love them and I'm nice. SO TAKE THAT GERMS! AHA! AHAHA!

1. You feel like you must kill yourself to make the pain go away
2. You find yourself lying on the bathroom floor to try and make your temperature go down, because for some reason that's just the coldest place in the house.
3. You look like you just got run over by ther Ugly Train
4. You have to ask the teacher to go to the nurse, and any association with teachers is awkward [I had to ask Mr. Smith -shudder-]
5. You feel like you life is "spiraling downwards" [lookup the Emo Song by Adam and Andrew. No, that is not where I got the names for my imaginary friends.]
6. If you throw up, you smell like chunks of rotten potatoes for the rest of the day
7. You have to wear a sign that says, "I'm sick, stay away or you might catch my cold! BLEHHCHOO!"
8. You feel the need to have a 5 by 4 bubble around you at all times so you can breathe
9. You don't want to face the disappointment of not having the right pills to take to make the achey business in your head go away
10. Your crappy moods spreads to other people, and pretty soon you have a cult of cranky teenagers who feel like life is pointless and they all want to go to Stuper WalMart, because that appears to be the only way to cure their "emoness"

Did I feel like this today? Somewhat, yes. Stuper WalMart craving? Ermm, no.
