I was this place and that place. I was everywhere. I left home at 7 Friday morning and got home at 9 Sunday night. I was exhausted, I just went to bed but I got up this morning because I realized that I had fallen behind on some things. Like posting here and keeping up in my email box. Lately I just don't have the time or the energy to sit down and read. Oh well I will come up with a better plan.<br /><br />Friday night I went to a birthday party with Nat and Bean which was a bunco party. It was grand. I had never played bunco before. It was so cool. It took me a few minutes but I finally got the hang of it. Shannon was fun that's whose b-day it was. I had only met her once but she wanted me to come. The chocolate fountain was the best. We had to leave early though so that we could make the drive back to skiatook without falling asleep.<br /><br />Saturday we were up at 6:45 and heading to the expo building. I worked my first full day at the fair. And man nobody ever tells you how much work take-in can be. And all the stuff that there is. I have never seen so many photos they were all over the place. But I loved it, the only thing I didn't love was the trip to arby's it was to complicated. And we had to go twice. I will never do that again. After we got of work at 6 we headed back towards skiatook but detoured off to see Bourne. We stopped for food, which took us 30 minutes to decide on and headed to the movies. It was great. I loved it. I want to see it again.<br /><br />Sunday was another early morning but it wasn't until we got downstairs that we found out from Nat's mom that we didn't have to be there until 9:30 but had gotten up at 5:45. Never again, we will ask next time. But I did get to see Ryan and Nikki they had just gotten back from their vacation. I even got an apple. When we did get to work it was easy. My legs were tired from the constant walking but it was okay. I got to pick the brains of some experts on crafts and watch how they work. It was really cool. But the after work of running around and trying to pin things together was not so fun but I know I would do it again.<br /><br />I feel like a slacker because I didn't get any knitting done. I really need to get working on my projects. I feel like I'm falling behind but there is no one in front of me. I dunno. I might just wait until tomorrow and knit with the ladies at knit nite.Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834911783177769872.post-26742988568452336502007-09-13T05:32:00.000-05:002007-09-17T08:26:35.863-05:00Christmas QuestionaireAre you religious?<br />Mhmm.

I have already started a project and I think it will be pretty. I will talk more about it once I figure it all out. [to my secret pal: thx so much it was nice to see something in the mail for me.]<br /><br />other than knitting on my gloves I haven't really been doing a lot in the creative department. I have been reading again and that has been nice. I choose something that would challenge me and something fun. so I have Russian lit and manga. I am content. at least until I finish them I am a bit of a fast reader. actually I just read really fast. but it seems I do a lot of things that way except make up my mind.<br /><br />it has been extremely busy since I last posted. I meant to put my Christmas questionnaire up that night but I was so sleepy. I just went straight to bed and the next day was my brother's birthday so I hung out with him. and then on Friday I don't think I was home for more than 10 minutes. we rounded up Kim and Rori and headed to the movies. and I loved No Reservations. it was funny, I want to knit all the little hats that the little girl is wearing. the movie made us hungry so afterwards we headed to red robin. which was a hoot and the waiter was amazing, he was so great. I wish we could've hung out with him. he was tons of fun. and of course after that we made our evitable trip to Wal-Mart in order to buy some buttons.<br /><br />Saturday was an earlier morning. bean and I met Nat at 10 and spent the day with her. we shopped at target and rue 21 while waiting for Applebee's to open. that was fun too, along with another great waiter. who by the way has a bad taste in food. tell me, who eats gravy on biscuits or ranch on pizza or worse fried cheese on a stick. that is disgusting. I spent most of the fair last year with miss cheese on a stick aka Nat. and here it is again more grossness. after fighting about food and sending one plate back and forth to the kitchen we headed to Skiatook. we met up with the rest of the girls, ate tons of food and played charades for Nat b-day party.<br /><br />Sunday was spent at church and then at Nat's grandma's for lunch. which was pretty cool since I got to meet Jackie and Caleb. I want to hang out with them again. oh and we plan on having a knitting party sleepover type thing. I got a few of the girls that were at the party that go to Nat's church interested in knitting, two of them already knit but want to learn more techniques. not that i am a queen of answers but I definitely know where to find them or who to ask. <br /><br />Monday and last night were the best of all. I spent time and knitting at starbucks and hanging out with bean and friends. and then last night was my weekly panera knit night. and as always i had fun chilling with Rori. love you Rori! there is always something to make me laugh. whether its geico commercial resemblance or just Tracy's niece talking about what a great dad that squirrel that got run over must have been. I love hanging with these girls.<br /><br />well I must run to work or I won't get paid. i am really starting to get the hang off it. I'm afraid that soon I'll know what I'm doing. and Justin won't know what to do with me. ^_^Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834911783177769872.post-81587274393120171702007-09-05T21:01:00.000-05:002007-09-05T21:02:09.085-05:00wow. work is tiring.i apologize to anyone who may have been reading this blog. i will do better with keeping up with it. i am actually looking to buy a laptop so that i can be a bit more mobile. a lot has happened and nothing has happened. mostly work, it feels like a i work a lot but i work the same hours as anyone else. the problem is my personal time hours are hectic so i never sleep. but i'm getting better. i am balancing myself and finding time to enjoy myself. i started my first pair of gloves saturday night and i have finished the base and 2 and an half fingers. i just have the pinky and the thumb to go. i am really enjoying it and i want to make more. i love muttins, arm warmers and gloves. and so far this is the cheapest way to get them since i already have the yarn.<br /><br />speaking of yarn and i'm trying to to fight off the temptation to buy any. i really want something new and pretty. i might go and buy that debbie bliss yarn that i have been eyeing. it a gorgeous red and i want to make a pair fo fingerless gloves with them. and all i need is one ball so it won't cost me a bunch.<br /><br />i have been thinking of names for my yarn shop but i have gotten stumped. the problem really is that i want more that just a yarn shop. its about books and music and food. i can see want i want i am just not sure how i am going to get there.<br /><br />and thinking about getting there i gotta run and post my christmas around the world questionaire. i will post more tomorrow promise. there are more knitting tales i must share.<br />wow. i sound like my mom.<br /><br />^_^Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834911783177769872.post-23775150145696815182007-08-19T23:18:00.000-05:002007-08-19T23:42:30.931-05:00i'm a workin' girl.I just worked my first full time week and I am tired.

I need a vacation after this. I got to get up at 3:30 every morning and be out on the course by 5:30. Once this is over I don't think I could sleep normally again. Oh well I can't really be missing anything I didn't sleep before anyway. This is really just preping me for the fair. Its going to be long hours and with work mixed in. Whoa.<br /><br />Oh and if I don't email anyone until sometime next week I apologize. I am really tired when I get home but I will the best I can.

Almost for a quick second for forgetting that it was tax free weekend. And I say almost because we remembered to go to shoe carnival. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it was still crazy. The male sibling made out pretty good he got 2 pairs. And bean and mum each got a pair. I am still waiting to find something good. I need something comfortable to where to work that is not crocs. No offense to anyone who likes to where them but they are just not me. And I am not sure why... Anyway we went to target and found more shoes but no pants I really need pants but so far nothing as presented itself. Bean and mum found more shoes, I found a pair but they are too big so we are going to take them back. We headed out of target which by the way looked ransacked, I had never seen it look that bad. We made our way to Wal-Mart and I found a really cute pair of shoes and I will barely where them everyday for the next just cause. I even have them on now and I am just going to do laundry. Oh and we also found me two shirts and some stuff for the male sib.<br /><br />I am hoping that we can find some pants maybe at goodwill or salvation army. I have at least 2 pair and a skirt but I am not sure how long I have until payday. So I don't want to run out of combinations. I am hoping to look at JC Penny's today but there is no guarantee that I will find anything. This always seems to be the problem and only with going to the mall or LB is that I can't really afford to spend $40 dollars on pants at the moment.<br /><br />What I would like to spend money on is Wednesday night. Except if I have to work I'd have no way to get there. Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind, and Collective Soul. The first and the last are what I really want to see. They'll be at the drillers stadium, I am going to beg dad for some cash and promise to pay him back. Although I do believe that the answer is going to be a negative. I am still want to try.<br /><br />Well I need to finish my ice cream and prepare to head out. I got to get some stuff done so I can go and play.Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834911783177769872.post-14952716378139347652007-08-04T14:01:00.000-05:002007-08-05T16:03:04.603-05:00She's so graceful, she fell on her face...I've been writing some pretty raw material lately. And it feels really good, its like the pressure is off to be somebody else, to try and make someone else's music. I hadn't writing anything in a long time. At least nothing completely new, just copy cats or new rendition of things I had already written. I realized I was really suffering from writer's block mostly depression. So now that, that cloud is gone I can be me again. I never even noticed that I hadn't touched my book or written a poem in months. I was so focused on trying to get something out of my music. I hopefully pretty soon here I can get my stuff up on my myspace. That would be nice.<br /><br />I had to go to the hospital yesterday and because I had no car I had to hitch a ride with Cod-man. It was really funny, because I pulled up at the front door in the colorful KXOJ van. Man, did I get some looks. HR wanted me to come in and fill out all this paper work. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I wasn't really as prepared for it as I might have wanted to be. Also I had to take a blood test and the drug test. Neither were very fun, the blood test went smooth which it normally doesn't cause my veins are constantly on the move. As the nurses like to put it. And the drug test...well let's just say it took almost to hours and lots of water to complete. But over all it wasn't that bad, the only major issue is they want to verify my graduation with a test. So we'll see how this goes.<br /><br />I got a schmooze award! Ooh something else to put in my side bar. Hmm. I wonder what my mum was thinking of went she sent this out to me. Mhmm. Maybe I should have a talk with her. Speaking of other things to put in my side bar. I got to get a SP 11 button. I made it in! Yeah, I'm ecstatic. I am just praying for one minor detail to get fixed. Oh, and I also signed up for the Christmas around the world swap. I am waiting to see if I am accepted. I think it would be so fun. I love Christmas. And I put my name in to get and invite for Ravelry. It made me laugh to so all the people in front of me. I felt like I was waiting in line for a party...<br /><br />Knitting in public is not to be seen its to make a scene part 2:<br /><br />A lovely lady named Kat so graciously came and took us to meet with the knitting group at Panera's. Btw : Thank you so much. I couldn't remember if I said thank you and if I didn't I apologize. It was extremely fun. Who needs the Friday night knitting club when you have the babes of Tuesday. Yeah, they should write a book about them. Heck, how about a documentary. Forget that make it a reality show. haha. They're so funny they'll put comedy central out of business. Or maybe not but they are still the grandest to be around. And I've got to give props to Taylor my new extremely talented friend and her moms they are coolness. And I can't forget Rori, Kim, Tracy, and Delores. These ladies are da bomb.<br /><br />As to the knitting that I took to this meeting, it was a hat. I had started in my head and was working the kinks out as I went along. The only problem was that I had made it too small. It was more of a back of the head hat and would fit my brother better. But instead of giving up my beautiful yarn I ripped it back. So now there is nothing but a pile of crinkled yarn waiting for me to start again. Not that I mine I will master this hat, I want to be able to write my own patterns and make something beautiful.<br /><br />More knitting: I am currently working on a shawl. It's called the frozen lake but instead of using knit picks I am using lion brand's microspun in leaf. And the way the pattern is coming out it looks like a leaf. It is very pretty. I only have one picture because my camera just died.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0zixQTdV3SPzrmNNMHZ9auwtNNooE98vxCWYsfltQG8WuWwKEHcOtroi24WKO9qSpP2cg7eIq-rz1TGv1csEqrAohS2JU_47Th4dEygTymoJC47zfPMORvYaAm9s7_m1Cw1A_vFJmD3Xe/s1600-h/Shawl.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094936921741115058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0zixQTdV3SPzrmNNMHZ9auwtNNooE98vxCWYsfltQG8WuWwKEHcOtroi24WKO9qSpP2cg7eIq-rz1TGv1csEqrAohS2JU_47Th4dEygTymoJC47zfPMORvYaAm9s7_m1Cw1A_vFJmD3Xe/s320/Shawl.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I want to make this knitted cell phone case.

I am just recovery from being sick and now that my eyelids are no longer swollen shut I can type. Things have been a bit crazy around here. I've done some shows and been visiting places. Like Porter where I got my Porter peaches and Amish cheese. Yum. The rain has finally stopped and most of the flooding on our end is over. For awhile there it seemed like this rain would never go away.<br /><br />I have been doing some knitting lately. I did my first hat on DPNs. I used Iceland in circus that my SP10 partner sent me. I started on a new bag but I ripped it all back. I looked up the pictures again and its hideous. So I am going to try something else. I keep finding all these felted bags but I don't like them. I am going to keep looking I may just give it all up and make another one of the one I did before. Oh and I made a pair of baby booties I am working on another pair. I have at least 6 friends having babies right now. So I got to get started on the blankets and sweaters.<br /><br />Speaking of sweaters I finally got motivated to do some work on my CPH and no w it iw no longer my CPH. My sister gets it. For some reason I even though i got my gauge at least I thought I did its not long enough. Its knitting up really fast I am not going to be bale to where it. So now I am going to find some more yarn and make another one but I'll have to wait until I get paid.<br /><br />And speaking of getting paid I got a job. Yep. I work full time and its not a bad gig. I get to pull files for doctors all day and that's not that hard. It can get really stressful especially if you have a long list and you still have your walk-ins and you call-ins. But its all good especially since you've got us the "Unstoppable J's".(please note that this was said with a loud announcer voice)The three unstoppable J's can do anything. Nothing gets them down. Come what may they said they will fight all of the clutter paper and put a stop to constant blinking of the full voice mail... Okay let me stop I could go on forever.<br /><br />I need to get back to working on the meal plan for the week. Mum asked me to help out this week. And its a it of a bummer because everything I want to make is still at the store. And without a car I can't get there. Oh well I'll think of something.<br /><br />B turned 16, its the craziest thing. I mean it feels like I just turned sixteen. Time is moving way too fast the male sibling turns 15 next month what I am going to do. Soon I won't be able to con them into doing things for me. haha.<br /><br />I wanna see a movie I haven't seen anything good lately. B saw hairspray she said it was okay but she had seen the Broadway show and an earlier make of the movie so she was a bit bored. I wonder what story line they are going to use for step up2? Mum and I want to see no reservations. I think we're going to wait until payday and have a girls night out.<br /><br />Speaking of girls night out. We finally journeyed inside of panera's or the tuesday night knitting group and we had a blast. At first we didn't go over cause that's just not our thing but once we did it was so much fun. And we tried some banana taffy that was delish.

Way too many arguments for my own sanity. I am so tired I don't want to deal with this anymore but tomorrow when I wake up it will be a brand new day. I wanted it to be fun and exciting you get to hang out with dad but I guess you can't get everything you want.<br /><br />Things with the band are amazing and it looks like we might be able to convince someone else to join us. We set up the myspace today and I think it looks awesome. I think we have tons of more work to do but it looks awesome from there. We had picture day...I think it turned out well. We got some great shots I just can't wait to put them up. Its sad when you have to your pictures taken by a six year old because your fourteen year old male sibling is being a fart. I can't believe I just wrote that and I not going to erase it. Hopefully if I don't get to tired I will put the new post up. Maybe I just wait and work on it tomorrow. I am looking working at Movies 8 just so mommy wouldn't have to pay for the website. We are currently searching for some recording equipment. We are so fresh we're fresh we ain't got nothin.<br /><br />Things are okay between me and Miss Sobie. I was really worried about her for awhile I wasn't sure if she didn't like what I said or if maybe she just wasn't into talking to me anymore. I didn't want things to be bad especially since I really value her opinion on a lot of things. I thought I might drop a line in on Jail Bird but I am not sure. I don't know if I want to go through that drama. I think I have had enough drama. I miss her but then again I don't. My dad had forgotten all about her. And I think that is funny. I mean it wasn't that long ago. Oh well, the things that slip my mind. I think the reason that I thought of her was because of lovely Miss A. I am worried about her and talking to Rani didn't help me feel any better. Only more scared that something was going to happen. I will just keep praying.<br /><br />I've been thinking about and way to many kids my age have been dying lately. And it's really scary it's like no one is seeing the signs that people are hurting. I don't want to hear about another funeral that could have been prevented. This doesn't have to be this. It just makes me so mad and terrified at the same time. I mean what if I were to go through a major depression again but couldn't see my way out? Would anyone notice?<br /><br />I think I am going to go to bed now. I've got too much on the brain and I'm tired.Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834911783177769872.post-74273120157696516292007-06-15T21:59:00.000-05:002007-06-15T22:02:49.589-05:00outings, music, and packages...It has been a really busy two weeks and I feel extremely guilty for not posting. Last week I went with mommy to NC for a homeschooling conference. It was awesome I was in my own room and I just got knit and sleep. I don't think I've ever been away just because. It was awesome and I really want to do it again. I finished my bag while I was out there. I don't even know if I mentioned it. But I love it and so my sister. Which in the long run can be a problem.<br /><br />I've picked up the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">cph</span> again. I hope that I can keep motivated to finish it. I really want to wear it and at the rate I'm going I will get wear it just before fall ends. Ha.<br />Other than that I am not really doing anything. I started another bag but in red. I am working on a pair of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">footies</span> and some socks. I want to finish my hat but it so heavy that its too hot now. I will love it in the winter but right now I just want to chuck it.<br /><br />I've been sending and receiving packages from my swap and such. And it has been spectacular. My no sheep package came while I was in NC. And its a gorgeous orange. It's Patagonia nature cotton. I had never seen it before and it feels really cool. I also got my secret pal package. Love it! I was a bad I didn't write down the contents of the box but I promise that I will post them this weekend. And since my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">usb</span> cord is on its way at least I think so I will have pictures. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Yay</span>! I can't wait there are so many things that I want to put up.<br /><br />Oh speaking of putting up. There are some amazing shots of my favorite bands that I would love to show off. Last night we went to Starbucks and The winter wake up was performing. They were amazing. I bought there <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">cd</span>. Its nice. I already have a favorite. We played crazy eights, go fish, and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Mexican</span> train dominoes. Britt and I wrote some fun stuff. I love being out with people it can write some amazing ideas just from other perspectives. I wish we could hang out like that more.<br /><br />I don't remember if I mentioned if seeing Pirates 3. But it was amazing. Orlando was so hot. I swear... My gosh. The last scene after the credits was really sweet. Yes I wish I could live in that make believe world. I want to see it again.Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834911783177769872.post-58584492168611991182007-05-28T02:54:00.000-05:002007-05-28T03:16:00.313-05:00The great thing about this is... Well I haven't quite figured that out.I've had a not so busy week, it actually went by rather fast. I didn't get home from Nat's till Monday. I got to see the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Emmon's</span> again on Sunday and that was fun. We went to see SP3 again since Nat hadn't seen it. It was more fun the second time and I noticed more of the music. The best part of this week was when I went to see Pirates I loved it. I want to see it again just cause. We went to another advanced showing it was awesome. I am not sure if Nat saw it or not, she was supposed to meet us but she changed her mind. So I didn't get to hang out with Nicki and Ryan. Poo.<br /><br />I finally got to dinner with mom and the lovely little sister on Friday. We went to Red Robin and had a ball. The waiter was extremely cute and made us laugh the whole time. We spent a bit of time trying to decide where to go but it was worth it. And we rented Dream Girls and Catch and Release. I enjoyed but probably won't watch them again. I love musicals but I was so bored with Dream Girls and all its drama. And I love Jennifer G. but I am still not sure how I view the movie. Last night we rented Because I Said So and man where we in for a surprise. And I don't mean the good kind. My baby brother was sitting there watching it with me and I almost choked. Yeah the guys where kind of hot according to my sister but all the references to sex was not what I had in mind for that evening.<br /><br />And speaking of yesterday it was a nightmare. I wasn't feeling well and I still don't I am so off. I was supposed to go with Nat to Robbie's graduation but I didn't and I was supposed to spend the night and I didn't. I didn't really feel up to it, I wasn't really in the mood to be company. And then I felt extremely guilty for not going especially since she really wanted me to be there for her. Little sister wouldn't go because she was invited to a party and she preferred that as well as little brother. I was also invited but wasn't interested in the company of 12, 13, and 14 year old kids that evening. Normally I would have gone but I wasn't up to it. So later on in the day when I was feeling better I went with mommy down to the yarn shop and we hung out and got lunch it was fun. I felt so much better. And then that evening I went with dad to the Roberts house and had dinner with them. The whole family was invited but of course the siblings didn't go and mommy stayed home to be there in case they needed something. It was fun we had steak and wine, and we sat out by the pool. I loved it because I just got to relax. And then it got ugly. I got into a little text fight with Rani which turned into a real fight and now we aren't friends. Which by the way I don't mind because I refuse to be treated like the victim and then as if I was at fault. I don't have time for stupid games. I was so mad earlier but I just had to let it go. I came home and went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Wal</span> -mart with mommy, we hung out and ate junk til 3 in the morning and I felt so much better.<br /><br />And then today, I missed church this morning but I didn't feel to guilty I needed my sleep. I got up I think at 11:30 something and service was almost over. I sat around watching mommy look for new yarn and ate ice cream. And at about 12:30 Summer's mom called and asked me to babysit. So I went over there at 4 and came home about 8. And begged and pleaded with mommy until she took me to Wendy's to get chicken nuggets and a frosty. It was yummy I loved it. And then I have spent the rest of the evening writing music, knitting a scarf, reading a few mysteries and watching a bit of television. Over all it wasn't that bad of a day.<br /><br />I am just hoping that tomorrow will lift me up. I have been off all week and I am totally tired of it. I want to be slightly happy again. And I want my family to stop asking wants wrong with me and why am I being to rude. Yeah I'm hoping on tomorrow.Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834911783177769872.post-69710791666205214642007-05-18T01:30:00.000-05:002007-05-18T02:26:54.276-05:00Camera Dilemma and other things I forgot to mention.So you know how I got a new camera for my birthday? Yeah? Well it doesn't have a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">usb</span> cord or a dock. So that means I can't load my pictures. And it totally sucks. I have all these lovely pictures of the kids in my neighborhood and the concert i worked last Friday. Which by the way was amazing. Jackson Waters = love. And lots of it, tons of it actually. Building 429 was great too. Mommy especially loved them. She just thinks that Jason is so <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">hott</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">lol</span>. If she reads this she'll kill me.<br /><br />And back to another busy weekend. Yes! And why I am excited I have no idea. But what I do know is that I get to hang out with Ryan tomorrow. And... I'm going to a Tool concert! Oh yes ladies and gentlemen. I have scored tickets to a sold out show. Uh-huh, uh huh. Yup. Nicky had two extra tickets and she's taking me and B. I am sorry Tommy but I am the new favorite in town. And I can't wait. I am also so happy that my hair is done so that I don't have to worry about it. Although sitting still for 3 hours wasn't what I had planned but it was so worth it. And again I can't post pictures.<br /><br />Blah. I got my new contacts. Yes, yes! And I also got colors. And another saddening moment of no pictures. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Haha</span>. Oh well. I am so excited about tomorrow. Which now is today because it is 2 in the morning. And what am I doing still up might you ask? I have no idea. Oh right I was waiting up with B while she gets the rest of her hair done. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Mhmm</span>. Yeah what was I thinking. Its already been 3 hours. The things we do for beauty.<br /><br />I went to see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Norbit</span> yesterday. And I didn't like. It was okay I mean it was funny but lame. And I was expecting something different. But I guess that's what happens when you expect things. Mommy and I watched music and lyrics last night. I loved it. But then again I love anything with Hugh Grant in it. I love his voice. I totally loved it's perspective on lyrics and melody. I mean you can't dictate what comes first. The funny thing was that I am a lot like the character that Drew Barrymore plays. Yeah I talk to myself and I kill plants.<br /><br />Ah... It looks like b is almost done. Yes! I am aching I need some sleep. I wish I hadn't finished my book earlier that way I could read while I wait. I was delving into another Nancy Drew mystery. I read them over and over. I love all the originals. They are the best. I am not sure about the new series so far it has been okay. I doubt that I will even find the new movie that's coming out even a tad amusing. I hate when people take good books and ruin them.<br /><br />Okay I'm now grumpy. That means sleep is beckoning to me. Night.Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834911783177769872.post-21417300315266623262007-05-10T14:47:00.000-05:002007-05-10T14:49:03.974-05:00Just a second ago.I got my Leeland CD in the mail. Love, love, love! Yes, I am screaming the lyrics at my dog. Who by the way is ignoring me. Oh well I gotta go before the yanked me away.Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834911783177769872.post-4268788946366018402007-05-10T14:06:00.000-05:002007-05-10T14:47:32.442-05:00The cause of this madness has yet to be discovered.So have you heard? The second Batman movie in the Batman Begins series is on its way. It's called The Dark Night. I can't wait! Although I am not sure how well Heath Ledger will do as the joker. I personally think Jack Nicholson's performance is extremely hard to follow. I am so giddy about this I love the first one. The only big cast change is the Katie Holmes isn't going to be in this one. Not that it would make that big of a difference unless of course if the new girl sucks.<br />The family and I went to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">premiere</span> of Spider Man 3. It was okay, not my favorite film of the year. I love the way Toby <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Maguire</span> looked but I dunno the whole suit change was lame and so was the ending. I mean if you are going to follow the story than do so. My brother is hoping on the fourth and that they follow through and do six movies. But that is all still up in the air, it depends on whether Toby comes back or not.<br /><br />I have had such a busy week. The family and I worked at the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">LPGA</span>. And we were always gone. We were the parking and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">concession</span>. It was fun but a lot of work. I got to meet my big brother's best friend and now he is my second adopted big brother. I love him to bits.<br /><br />I had a birthday this past Monday. Yeah excitement, I am a whole year older. Nothing that special but fun. I got some cool gifts. B, gave the Thirty Seconds To Mars <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">CD</span>, which by the way I adore. And we are actually listening to it now. She also gave me this cool mug and a sweet <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">anime</span> poster. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Little</span> brother gave me the new Keane <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">CD</span> and its awesome. I haven't taken the time to really listen to it but my run though prove that is was worth getting. Mom and dad gave me my favorite Dashboard Confessional <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">CD</span>: A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar. I love that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">CD</span> like I wrote it myself. They also gave me Leeland, I have been dying to get that. Although it hasn't arrived in the mail yet so I haven't listened to it.<br />This year I also cashed in on the 7 days of my birthday. So I got a present everyday until my birthday. On two of the days I got Godiva chocolate. And I got body wash and body cream from Bath and Body Works. I also got a teddy bear and t- shirt from Bass Pro. I got a new coffee mug and a new Agatha Christie book to add to my collection.<br />Not to mention that my dad's old boss gave me this sweet camera. I love it man it is so awesome. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">siblings </span>and I have spent most of the morning taking pictures and filming ourselves. It has been <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">freakin</span> amazing.<br /><br />I've got a busy weekend coming up. I work another concert tomorrow and Nat's graduation is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Saturday</span> night and so is Brandon's party and the dinner we were invited to. And of course Sunday is Mother's day. I worked a concert last <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Thursday</span> after I had worked the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">LPGA</span> all day and then I went to see SP3. Yeah the dumbest day I had ever planned. I also babysat S<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">aturday</span> night. And she wants to go back to working nights so I'm back in business. And it looks like I might be taking that trip to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Texas</span> sooner that I had planned and that's a good thing.<br /><br />Well the siblings are yelling at me I got to get back to my camera. I promise at least to myself to get pictures of my knitting up soon.Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834911783177769872.post-61870269616339527612007-04-30T20:05:00.000-05:002007-05-10T14:06:34.164-05:00SP10 ~ Questionnaire ~ Updated 5/10/071.

Yay! It was fun. I hadn't done that in awhile. I think that last time I was at the library. I had a caramel mocha. I had never had one but it was delicious. Along with a banana loaf, although that didn't taste all that great. But it was fun to hang with mommy and work on a washcloth.<br /><br />Church was okay but I could have stayed home. I know its sad that I say that but the bass was so loud that I had a headache when I went home. Mommy and I were going to go down to Stephanie's but she was tired so I went to the mall. B and Heather went as well. We actually went by Heather's mom. We got bored fast but it was still fun. We bought friendship necklaces and watched people get arrested for shoplifting. I had a banana shake from sonic and it was good. Oh I finally got a new eyeliner pencil from Hottopic. And I got to see the extremely cute Hottopic guy. Yay!<br /><br />We went back to church but to life church. It was fun. They played The River by Good Charlotte. It was incredibly funny. Heather thought the music was a little too loud but she enjoyed it none the less. We almost forgot to take the movies back. And the sad news is that I couldn't find anything else to watch so I am without a movie tonight. Poo.<br /><br />Rani called and we chatted for a bit. I hadn't talked to her in awhile but I was so tired I barely understood what she was saying. I also got to chat with Ashley for a bit. I loved it. We kept arguing over everything. But it was so funny. Batman is still by far the best super hero in the world! I started talking to Ash again I think we might actually hang out and that might be cool. I still need to buy Nat a graduation present.<br /><br />Blah.Iamwhimsicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17530929133369372573noreply@blogger.com0
