"Curiouser and curiouser..." -Alice in Wonderland

I guess I'm like a bookworm now or something....

2012-01-02T22:17:00.001-08:00

As I have made very clear in my past: I am NOT a reader. Well.... that's changed. When I had to read Fahrenheit 451 for English last year, I had nothing short of an epiphany: Books are good. Actually they're more than good, they're genius. I'm simply mesmerized at the idea that someone can create an entire world through written word. No pictures, just words.
After my light bulb moment, I decided to be a little more open to the reading world. (which was probably the best thing that ever happened to my mom) I know students have a tendency to automatically hate every book they are required to read (which is exactly how I was), but this is a very flawed system of beliefs. Because I decided to bag that whole way of thinking, I was able to enjoy just about every book we read that year, plus some. Fahrenheit 451, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Awakening (not my favorite, but it was still good), The Glass Menagerie, Night, A Streetcar Named Desire and I even ventured as far as starting the Harry Potter series for the first time. Since then I've read/enjoyed more books than I ever thought I would.
The Great Gatsby, The Hunger Games series and Divergent are some that I have finished more recently and I am currently reading the 7th Harry Potter book, The Graveyard Book, The Kite Runner and Macbeth. (and I'm liking all of them)
Let me just say, I am a very fortunate person to have realized how awesome reading is and to have a mom that has the same passion(and a whole library to go with it) Soooo... if you're like me, and you have never enjoyed reading, just remember this: books are genius.

My Best Friend

2011-12-28T17:07:00.001-08:00

I'd like to take a moment to talk about my best friend. She's two and quite small. She's got gorgeous blue eyes and a head full of luscious blonde hair. I love her to death and I'm pretty sure she likes me, too. (or at least I hope) On Monday, I took these pictures of her and I wanted to share them with y'all. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I hope you have a Happy New Year. Enjoy.

A Work In Progress

2011-11-29T20:26:00.000-08:00

All thanks to my lovely aunt Maren and her adorable blog, I remembered that I had one myself. Now if you scroll down to my last post I added on the end there that I was going to try and post a new post 3 times a week.... Well.... that was January... and it's November...... So let's not ask questions about how that all happened and move on... Now I'm not going to be as bold as I was last time and say that I'm going to post at least 3 times a week, but I am going to try and post more often. Hopefully I can stay motivated this time. Since I have nothing else to say, I'll try and tell you as much as I can about what has happened in my life in the past 11-ish months. Here goes:

I've been to Disneyland 3 times since I last posted. (Annual passes are my new favorite)

I still have braces.... (not so happy about that one...)

I became a junior.

And more importantly, I passed sophomore year.

I lived through one of my biggest fears on the very last day of school: I threw up at school... During passing period... Bleh (this may not seem like a really awesome thing, but I'm trying to think of what has happened in my life in the past almost-year and this seemed to be one of the only things I could remember.... Give me a break)

I turned 16.

I went to Homecoming.

I dyed my hair.

I dyed my hair... again.

I gained some friends.

I gained some family, as well.

I came to the conclusion that I truly love the piano and playing it.

I also came to the conclusion that I seriously have no freaking clue where I would be without my amazing mother. I love her so much and she helps me through every single problem I ever have.

I am still in the process of reading the Harry Potter series for the first time.

I read The Hunger Games trilogy. (and am FREAKING EXCITED for the movies!!!)

I celebrated Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, April Fool's Day, Earth Day, Easter, Mother's and Father's Day, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day, Halloween, and most recently Thanksgiving. (and soon CHRISTMAS!!!)

Random bird picture.

Well, as you can tell, I don't have a very eventful life. But I'm okay with that. Have a wonderful week and I'll try to post... more.

Wow, it's been.... forever. I feel that if a blog was a physical, tangible thing, I would be dusting it off right now. So as I wipe the imaginary dust off this thing, I'll tell you a story. Once upon a time, approximately 3 years ago, I created a blog and typed a short, but sweet paragraph or so about my favorite band and then posted it on this very website. The. End. Good story, eh? Well, I'm going to try to post at least 3 times a week. And hopefully, the posts will most definitely be longer than this one.

Happy Birthday Erik!

2010-11-15T19:04:00.000-08:00

Dear Uncle Erik,
It's your birthday. It's weird to think you would be 31 if you were still here. I am so blessed to know that I will see you again someday. And I look forward to that day. Please know you're loved and missed greatly.
With all the love I could ever give,
(your favorite niece) Sage

Summer is.... Ending :(

2010-08-21T22:54:00.000-07:00

Alright, so I planned on having elaborate posts on my amazing adventures this summer, but it didn't exactly work that way.... I guess I was way more busy than I thought I would be. Since I didn't, my first thought was to list all the things I did this summer to recap. But then I thought of something totally better. I'm gonna do something that is (regrettably) quite cheesy and weird, but I'm doing it anyway. I am going to make a list of everything I learned this summer. Please don't make fun of me...

I learned that even if you love vacations, 2 weeks is a long time.
I learned that my grandfather is practically famous in Orem, Utah.
I learned that procrastination sucks.... No matter how cool some people make it sound.
I learned that even though consequences don't come immediately, they still come.
I learned that I can be a super hero.
I learned not to steal water guns.
I learned that all the 4th years (including myself) are awesome for doing the overnight hike.
I learned that fun doesn't have to be expensive but can come out of midnight runs to Wal-mart with your two best friends, your sister in a wheel chair and $10 to spare.
I learned to clean my room more often.
I learned that money definitely does NOT grow on trees, no matter how hard you try.
I learned that I don't need 10 million friends to know I'm loved.
I learned that Elvis still lives.
I learned that I seriously have the hardest time saving money.
I learned that the sun doesn't love my face all that much. (especially my nose)
I learned how to make a friendship bracelet.
I learned that I'm kind of a baby when it comes to ghosts and stuff.
I learned that it's close to impossible to read Huckleberry Finn in 4 weeks.
I learned that 3 three months can go by really fast.

I'm done now, so you can go on and laugh at me... Go on... Just don't laugh at me to my face, okay? Sometimes we need to get all that ewie, gooey mushy crap out of the way.
I hope you enjoy what's left of your summer, and if yours is already over.... I'm very sorry.
Well, stake conference tomorrow, so I must get some sleep. Goodnight, dear children :)

P.S. First day of school = my birthday... Poop :(

My Small Obsession at the Moment....

2010-08-07T23:20:00.000-07:00

I've loved Hey Monday since their first album and now their newest album is about to come out. Here is the music video for one of the songs off of the new album. I'm seriously in love with this song right now and would love to share it with you.
Enjoy the rest of you summer, my dear children :)

SUMMER!!!!!!

2010-06-08T16:32:00.000-07:00

I'm sooo happy! So... I passed freshmen year alive AND with 4 A's and 2 B's, which isn't too shabby if I do say so myself. I guess it wasn't so bad after all, although I do have to say, I'm gonna have to get used to all the projects, but that's okay. So, you guys wanna know what I've done so far?? No?... Too bad! I went to Utah for Memorial Day weekend which technically wasn't summer because I had two half days left of exams. Dumb, I know. It was really fun and I got lots of opportunities to go to cemeteries and being able to see family members from a long time ago. I'll post pictures soon. On the last day of school, my AMAZING mother took me, Savannah and Jessica out to eat at Red Robin and it was delicious. The first day of summer was pretty normal and nothing special happened. I was a little bummed that I had to babysit, but at least they're nice kids!! On Saturday, we had amazing crepes made by my once again, my AMAZING mother. I've had lots of fun lately and I hope to have more. Have a fun summer!!!!!
-Sage
P.S. Here are some pictures from the last full day of school.

Playing Signs in Orchestra.

Alexis, Denise and Nicole. Orchestra buddies.

Taylor and Holly at our last lunch feast.

Cody and Savannah

Taylor, Holly, Kendahl and Cody/ the feast.

My cupcake disaster.

What was left of the feast.

My P.E. buddies, Aubrey and Smaranda.

Aubrey and Smaranda. (with Smaranda's painting of Alberta, Canada)

Me and Aubrey.

The sophomores didn't feel accomplished till they trash"bagged" and stuffed powdered donuts in a freshman's (Erica) face. P.S. She was not really crying but actually laughing.

Picnik

2010-04-28T17:02:00.000-07:00

So, I tried Picnik recently and I wanna know what you think of it. I like it a lot because my current camera is pretty crappy, so it makes my pictures really nice. The only problem is that all the cool editing tools are the ones that you have to pay for. Poo! Anyway, here are the pictures I edited. Sorry for the short post... More to come. I feel bad that they are all of me, but those are the only ones I've gotten around to editing. I wish I would've saved the old ones too, so you be able to see the difference. P.S. Picture #4, yes I'm wearing a white tank top, but you can barely see it cause I'm so friggin' pale.

SPRING BREAK!!!!!!

2010-03-27T19:08:00.001-07:00

I'm so friggin' happy!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally I get a break from stupid school. I guess my life doesn't suck that much after all. I'm so confused about what camera I should get! Help! Serioulsy, if any of you have any other suggestions for better cameras or anything, I beg of you to tell me!!! Anyway, this is a short post. I'm in Utah and at the moment and I desperately need to take a shower. I think I need to spare everyone here the agony of my gross hair. Have an awesome spring break and if you don't have spring break, sucks for you!!! Just kidding(kinda)

My Review: Alice In Wonderland

2010-03-26T19:54:00.000-07:00

So, on March 4th I wen to go see Alice in Wonderland at midnight. I've always loved the cartoon and was really excited for the live action. It was simply stunning! Instead of a remake of the old one, it was kind of the second one.(Through the Looking Glass) I suggest you see it! Here are some pictures...

I Hope All This Sad Crap Will Be Followed by Happiness..

2010-03-25T18:47:00.000-07:00

Guess what guys? If you couldn't read the title or you're just plain stupid, I'm sad. For many reasons. And whether you like it or not, I will share them with you.
1) Long story, but we had a sub for Orchestra since the new year and he is leaving. He seriously was one of the funniest/best teachers I've known.
2) I'm craving the Kodak EasyShare 10.0MP Digital Camera which is well within the price range of what I'm willing to pay, but I just can't seem to keep money in my pocket.
3) I am EXTREMELY sleep-deprived.
4) I wish I would've signed up for photography as my elective next year, but, alas, I don't have any credits for a foreign language.
5) Along with the camera, I've been craving a dog. Which is nowhere in the future. To be more specific, I'm craving the dog called a weimaraner. So friggin' cute!!!

Thankfully next week is spring break so I'll be able to cross off number 3! Anyway have an awesome weekend/break!!!!

My Life is a Little Boring at the Moment

2010-03-20T13:00:00.000-07:00

I know, long title.. Whatever. So lately, I've really had nothing to blog about because nothing's really been going on. Weeks have just been so blah, I guess. Although, one thing that did happen was my dad got in an accident. It was around 8:30 a.m. and he was hit, while stopped, at 50 mph by a drunk driver. At 8:30!!!!! He was pushed into the intersection and he hit two other cars. He was the only injured one. He had 14 staples on the top of his head and he just got them out a couple days ago. I'm so glad he's doing better and that he was in a work truck, too. Anyway, that's pretty much the only "interesting" thing that has really happened. Oh Yeah, I forgot! So on Thursday, my orchestra at school went to festival. And we got a 1 as our rating!!! (1 is the best) So happy!!!
Well I guess that's it! Hopefully, I'll be able to get some better things to blog about.

Back to the Blog

2009-12-31T17:12:00.000-08:00

Soooo, it's been approximately two months since the last post because I'm kind of a loser. Just kidding, I just have stuff going on. Here's the thing: for the first time in a while I've actually been busy.
Just because I feel like it, I'm gonna fill you in on everything that's gone on since October 26. Sainthood(the new Tegan and Sara CD I mentioned in my last post) is awesome and so was Halloween(I was a librarian),
Thanksgiving was really fun and I got a lot of food in ma belly, me and my dad went to Utah together to go and see an AMAZING concert by the BYU combined choirs and the philharmonic orchestra(I went on an airplane for the first time!! Nothing special I guess since the flight was an hour long, but it was still fun),
I got pretty sick right before winter break and missed three days of school(which sucked bootie) and I had a lot of make-up work, but that's okay, I guess,
because of my stupid sickness I missed my Christmas dance recital(I don't think I've ever been more devestated),
Christmas was AWESOME!(I got picture frames for my room(I'm kind of obsessed with picture frames), clothes and lots of other cool things),
our family went to Utah the day after Christmas(we stopped by the Clarks which was super fun!),
my throat was starting to act up and my cough was way worse, so I got to visit the doctor(the appointment lasted approximately seven mintues long),
we went to go and see Avatar and Savannah got chewed out by a cranky old lady who said it wasn't in the "rules" to save seats(interesting/extremely frustrating/amusing at the same time), Avatar was really good,
today we saw The Princess and the Frog(so good!!),
we're still in Utah and plan to play laser tag with the Elison family tomorrow(so so fun) and we're going home on Saturday(tear).
Anyway, now that you're caught up with my life I would like to wish you a Happy New Year!!!

Hola People

2009-10-26T19:41:00.000-07:00

Wow guys! It has been a really long time!!! Soooo....... Right at the moment, I'm trying to write a eulogy for Romeo for English. This is all I have: "Romeo died because of love, and he floated away to heaven above. He once loved the fair Rosaline, But Juliet was the only sight in his mind." I need to have 6 more lines by tomorrow.... Crap. The thing is, I'm not the most serious writer there is so I don't know how I'm gonna read this without breaking out in laughter. Wish me luck.
Who knows what they're being for Halloween?? I do!! Finally!(as of tonight) I'm going to be a librarian. Yep! Anyway... Four day week two weeks in a row!!! Hooray! Sainthood by Tegan and Sara is coming out tomorrow! It's a good week!
Bye

Corlaline ABC Posters!

2009-09-20T19:17:00.000-07:00

As you all know, I'm very obbsessed with the Coraline movie and book. (If you haven't read or seen it, do it NOW!) Savannah showed me these awesome posters that I want more than anything at the moment. So I will share them with you.

"A" is for Adventures - The kind that you fear when other's intentions are often unclear.

"B" is for Bobinski - Seemingly nice until you discover his circus of mice.

"C" is for Coraline - Brave little girl who unlocks the door to a whole different world.

"D" is for Dad - He's sweet but he's boring works all day long while Coraline's exploring.

"E" is for Entrance - To a great world of wonder where a wicked witch hunts for souls she can plunder.

"F" is for Forcible - A thespian master even though her wardrobe's a disaster.

"G" if for Ghost Children - Who are locked far away until someone rescues then, in Other World they must stay.

"H" is for Hands - That crawl on their own trying to steal you away from your home!

"I" is for Imposters - That look just like you, but live in a world too good to be true.

"J" is for Jump - Which certain mice do when blessed with the talents of a kangaroo.

"K" is for Knowledge - Some special cats know about worlds where girls like Coraline shouldn't go.

"L" is for Ladies - In this world they're old, but in the Other they're acrobats, daring and bold!

"M" is for Music - From a piano that plays you attached to your hands with rods and with glue!

"N" is for Needle - That pulls the thread that sews on the Other World buttons we dread.

"O" is for Otherworld - You may not want to leave where the garden comes a live in more ways than you believe.

"P" is for Palace - It's big and it's pink looks like a magical place, don't you think?

"Q" is for Quick - It's what you must be to avoid snapping snapdragons that nip at your sleeve."R" is for Ragdolls - They look so benign secretly watching you all the time."S" is for Spink - Old neighbor lady was once an actress but now crazy!"T" is for Toys - That come alive in a world that's not very safe for one brave girl.

"U" is for Up - Where scottie dogs fly. Anything's possible in an Otherworld sky."V" is for Vehicle - The kind with two wheels, so much cooler than automobiles."W" is for Wybie - Your friend in the clutch as long as he isn't talking too much."X" is the Spot - Just past the flowerbed where Coraline's divining rod led."Y" is for Yum - The food whe was fed by a button-eyed mother with crazy schemes in her head."Z" is for Zanzibar - Where chocolate beetles come from suprisingly tasty if you catch one.

School, Schmool/ Ma Burfday!

2009-08-29T14:14:00.000-07:00

So, this week, I started High School. I'm gonna give you my schedule and tell you what I think about that class/teacher.
Seminary-Sister Rasmussen She is so sweet!!
1-Mr.Gerber(Alg I Honors) Sooooooo boring and I HATE MATH!!
2-Mrs.Hanson(Intro to Comp.) Did this class in 6th grade and she's a wannabe motivational speaker.(I'm not motivated by her.)
3-Mr.Neuman(Concert Orch.) Fun class with Savann and my best friend Nicole.
Lunch-With Savannah, Sam, Taylor and Kayla.(best lunch table!)
4-Mrs.Kern(Biology Honors) Best teacher ever! And I have it with Savannah and my friend Kayla!!!!(We're dissecting a fetal pig next week!! I'm gonna barf, especially because this class is right after lunch!)
5-Mrs.Snyder/Mrs.Tasko(English I Honors) We have a sub for that class because Mrs.Snyder had her baby two weeks ago. The sub is extremely boring.
6-Ms.Francisco(P.E. I) I suck at anything having to do with P.E./sports soo you can kinda tell how I feel about that class.
Sooo, that's how I feel about school. The only time I got lost was on the 1st day on my way to P.E. and other than that I pretty much did okay. It's good/weird to see old friends from elementary school and awesome to have lunch with my best friend, Taylor, who is also a friend from elementary, but we kept in contact.

Anywhoo... Tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY!!! I'm turning 14! I still feel like 10, but I guess I'm not. I'm really excited!!!

See ya later, people!

Curiosity Is What I'm Made Of.

2009-08-17T19:48:00.000-07:00

I had no other title to do with this post, so I just thought of something really random like this post. So, I got new macbeths!!! What I've wanted and saved up for, for a while now. School is starting in a week. Boo. It's almost my birthday!!! I feel awfully random and hyper lately and I'm gonna take it as a good thing. Today I yanked Haven from her everyday PBS-watching routine and put silly make-up on her that looked more like two black eyes rather than eye shadow and dressed her up in a tutu. I also did this myself and got in my Alice dress. By the time we'd finished, Haven wasn't feeling up to taking pictures, so I only got three. I prettied them up for y'all and when you see them, keep in mind, I was extremely bored. After that, I spent a whopping 12 minutes scrubbing Haven's face to get the make-up off. Fun stuff.
Well, keep eatin' those bagels and peace out!!

My new macbeths!

I was bored...

Why I gots such a pretty sis?

My New Obsession!!

2009-08-13T15:47:00.000-07:00

So guys, lately (other than shooting Barbie 2), I've been pretty bored. Until Savannah and I came across a interesting looking show. It's called Glee. At the moment, only the pilot is out, but on September 9, the series begins. It's on Fox and it's amazing!!! I'm soo excited for September!! Watch it here.

Pics!

2009-08-09T16:34:00.001-07:00

If you haven't seen the first one, go to our blog and click on any of the links and you'll get to our Vimeo. There, find the video on the right called, Love, Death and Easter Eggs. Next, I'm gonna post my Utah/EFY pictures for you guys!!! It was an amazing experience for me and I can't wait to go next year!! Lastly, enjoy, my friends, enjoy!

Utah/ Fourth of July/ EFY!!!!!

2009-07-22T11:31:00.000-07:00

Soooo, about three weeks ago I went to Utah with Nat and MRK. My parents then came 5 days later. Then it was Fourth of July!!! One of my favorite holidays!!! Then on the 5th, my parents, Haven and Ryder, Nat and MRK and Tanner and Bentley left for Vegas, while Savannah and I stayed awaiting EFY. We stayed up there for a week with our grandma and grandpa and had lots of fun. On the 13th we left with our uncle to BYU. I can't tell you how amazing EFY was. It was Savannah's second year and my first. We roomed together. We were in the same company as our friends Carly and Marissa. (We also were in the same group as a girl who used to be in our ward and we didn't even plan it!) So, a company is made up of two small groups of girls and a group of boys. There are many companys! Our little groups' counseler was Lyndee. She was so sweet! We also had four super awesome and nice girls from California in our small group! We had an amazing company!!!!!! Pictures of these events are to come soon!

So...

2009-05-29T16:31:00.000-07:00

You wanna hear something? Tomorrow at 10a.m. I have to go to a dance rehearsal and I don't want to. Then... On Monday, it is my last full day at Greenspun Junior High School. On Tuesday I have my first day of finals and my dance recital. Wednesday is the second day of finals(duh) and the second day of my dance recital. (and Haven's) THURSDAY IS THE LAST DAY OF MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooo happy! If you paid me to go back to middle school I wouldn't do it. Worst time of my life!!! Also... My parents are leaving for Europe that day, so should be fun. Then, on June 17-20 is the Trek... (ew) You all are awesome! I just want to express how happy I am to be (almost) out of middle school. The people there are so snotty. (there are some exceptions) And those exceptions are rarities these days. Now, a lot of people have been asking me if I'm excited for High School and here is my answer: Sorta... I mean I'm excited because it seems more fun, but school is school and school is dumb. Bye.

DISNEYLAND!!!!!

2009-05-05T20:44:00.000-07:00

So... This weekend I went to Disneyland with the Band, Choir and Orchestra. (Orchestra rocks!!!) It was soooo much fun! We left at 9 o'clock on Friday morning on a giant tour bus. The ride up wasn't the most comfortable, but we had a lot of fun. We watched The Bee Movie and Hook. When we got there, we had an hour to get ready. Then, we left for festival at around 6. It was at the Placentia Presbyterian Church. (Yes, Placentia...) I think we did pretty well. Choir and Band were awesome! We got back to the hotel at 9, we ate a pizza and lights out. The next morning, we woke up bright and early at 4:30 so everyone in my room could take a shower. We left for Disneyland at 7:30. The whole day was amazing!! I got to hang out with my best friends and I loved it. The sad thing is, we never were able to go on Space Mountain... My favorite ride. (sigh) We had to go to the Awards Ceremony at 4:40. Guess what?? My orchestra got second place in our category by ONE POINT!!!!!! Disappointing... But we still got a SUPERIOR.(the best rating!) Our Band got first place in the OVERALL category for Band. How cool is that?!? We got on the bus at 6 and it was the quietest/coldest/uncomfortable ride home EVER!!!!!!! Everything was blowing cold air and everyone was asleep on upright bus seats. It wasn't very fun. We got home at midnight which was interesting. When we came to school on Monday everyone was zombies!!! I will post pictures very very soon.

Hey!(+edit)

2009-04-27T20:59:00.000-07:00

Hey, all my Twitterbugs who DIDN'T join Twitter. Thanks you guys! You're way cool. So lately has been fun. I went to dance today and I'm sooo confused!! We're dancing to Cotton-eyed Joe for jazz and The Ninja Turtle Rap for tap. Tap is so confusing. Both songs are extremely fast and if you get lost you're lost and never coming back. For jazz we're wearing flannel shirts with denim-looking jazz pants and a cowboy hat which you can decorate however you want. For tap we're wearing Ninja Turtle shirts which Lori is getting specially made. On the front they have the Ninja Turtles and on the back they have "Ninja Tap" and a piece of pizza that has tap shoes on. (because pizza is the only food the Ninja Turtles eat) We're wearing the same denim-ish jazz pants with it. It should be fun. I'll have to post pictures. Except I'm sad because my bestest friend in the whole wide world who I've been dancing with since third grade recently quit so that's upsetting. Anyway..... I hope you guys don't think I don't like to post anymore I just haven't had enough time. Join Twitter and if you do, tell me so I can' follow you.
P.S.Here's my Twitter http://twitter.com/SGelison
P.S.S. Sorry for the annoying colors.
P.S.S.S. If you want me to follow you please tell me your username. (unless you don't want me to follow you.)

Twitter!

2009-04-25T12:19:00.000-07:00

So this one time... I was like talking to Savannah and I was like, "Twitter looks stupid, I'm never joining!" And this other time... I was like on my computer and I joined Twitter.
Yes, I have fallen in the vortex of Twitter and I ask you to join. It's fun!
P.S. I'm not addicted or anything... yet.

I Want A New Phone!!

Goodbye Gum!

2009-03-07T11:09:00.000-08:00

Are you wondering why this post is titled, "Goodbye Gum!"? Well, the reasoning for that is because on Monday, March 2, 2009 I got phase two of braces. They were very painful on the first day and the day after. They haven't hurt that bad lately though. But here's the sad thing: we went and got pizza for dinner at Metro Pizza the day I got them. I attempted to eat pizza and failed miserably, but afterwords we went and got Golden Spoon, so that was good. I ate an entire small cake batter while everyone else got minis. I felt like a pig, but it was the first thing I actually found success in eating the whole way through. They are much better now, though.
I've yet to post some pictures of them and how small the rubber bands they gave to me.
Have a fun weekend!!
(I'm going to the Springs Preserve with my fam and the Reeve's!) Fun!!
P.S. I don't look like this. Thank goodness!

Coraline: My Review!!

2009-02-19T20:57:00.000-08:00

So, two Saturdays ago, my mom, Savannah, Haven, Ryder and I all saw Coraline in 3D. It was absolutely brilliant. Now, Haven kept saying that she was tired and she wanted to go home. Ryder didn't mind, but the occasional "Oh No!" escaped his lips. I have to admit, it was a little creepy, but the idea was amazing! I'm trying to read the book right now, but I'm also trying to read Jane Eyre for English by March 10, so that's my #1 priority right this moment. The picture was great and it was even cooler in 3D.
It is about a girl who moves to an hold three-story house with her mom and dad who never quite pay attention to her. They live on the main floor and a man who lives upstairs thinks he's training a mouse circus and the two women who live downstairs were former actresses. While Coraline tries to adapt to this ancient house, she meets the owner of the house's grandson, Wybie Lovat. She's not a huge fan of him, but he tells her interesting things about the house. He tells about his grandmother's twin sister who went missing there. She later finds a small door that only seems to open in her dreams. It is the entrance to a world beyond compare. Her parents pay all attention to her and everything is her way. The only different part, is that they all have black button eyes. She soon finds out, that her perfect world isn't so perfect and she learns the secrets of the 100-year-old house. I'm sorry if I gave too much away to you. Tell me if I did and I'll delete this post. (Maybe I won't, but I'll delete some of the more revealing sentences.) I must warn you, there is a part that shows an old women who has a very large chest with hardly anything covering. SEE IT!!

Awesome Video...

2009-02-01T21:29:00.000-08:00

This weekend Savannah and I had an idea to make a video out of complete and utter randomness. So, after I bought her a pack of gum(which actually convinced her to make it) we started to brainstorm. Savannah came up with a banana phone conversation with a Barbie and jealously between the two. Then it progressed into a four-minute video. For most of the part, I was the camera... woman. (which was really boring) Then we did an Easter egg hunt. (which wasn't boring) The final product was really good and funny. Right now, it's downloading onto facebook, so I'll have to put it on here another time.
P.S. It took two days to make and it was really hard to edit and get everything right.
P.S.S. Sorry for not posting in forever.

Mid-terms/ Exams/ Finals/ Whatever you want to call them are OVER!!

2009-01-16T16:30:00.000-08:00

So, weirdos, today was the last day of exams!! I'm so happy, especially because it was a half day and we have two three-day weekends in a row! But I like the whole half-days-for-three-days-in-a-row thing. And I found out that Sam and I are going to be helping out an elderly woman in our ward named Sister Hill out for Personal Progress. Which that should be fun, I mean what's more cuter than a really old lady? Ha ha! I love 'em. Anyway... Oh yeah, today my grandma and grandpa Easley and my grandma Kopp are coming into town. Grandma and grandpa are staying at Nat and MRK's house and grandma Kopp is staying at our house and I'm really excited for that. That's all I have to say other than the fact that I'm pretty excited that exams are over.
See ya later, alligators!

Exams Scare me Almost as Much as the Monsters Under my Bed!

2009-01-14T12:24:00.000-08:00

So, today was the first day of mid-term exams. I took English and Orchestra which are fairly easy tests compared to Algebra and Science and stuff like that. On our English test, we were allowed to bring a note card with all our vocab. words we needed to know. I noticed that they were in numerical order so when it came to filling in the blanks, it didn't take much brain. I just had to look at the words in order. Is that considered cheating? Cause if it is, I feel really bad. And in Orchestra, it's the same test I took in 6th and 7th grade. So when we finished, I started reading a book. My friend, Nicole, wrote me a note saying that reading books rot your brain. I wrote back saying that they were good for your brain and TV would rot it. She didn't believe me so I asked her what I should do instead of reading. She told me to write a song that would make her laugh and it had to be about tennis shoe laces. Here is my song...
I like string and things like that
But not just old yarn for a cat
I LIKE TENNIS SHOE LACES!! They're better than braces... for sure.
yes, for sure.
When I was walking down my street
I noticed some shoes from someone's smelly feet
When I saw the shoelaces were still in tact
I almost had a heart attack
I LIKE TENNIS SHOE LACES!! They're better than braces...
The End!!
I'm very proud of this song, so... Thank you, thank you very much!!

I Don't Think I Can Express My Feelings Well Enough To Show You My Hatred For School!

2009-01-03T20:38:00.000-08:00

I don't think the title of this post has anything to do with it, but I had nothing else to put so....................

You are cool if you could read that. Sorry, I don't know what I want to say except that I feel weird.(not like crazy weird, but different) I feel like I should never leave Utah, I feel like sad because almost all my cousins live here and I feel uh... "out of the loop" not that when we're here, they aren't super nice and awesome as usual, but I wish I lived here!!!!! And when I say "out of the loop," I mean like we don't live here and stuff like that. So if you are my cousin and you are reading this, don't feel like bad or anything like that I just wish I could see you guys more often, 'cause I love you guys to death and I hardly ever get to see you. And I have like the best family in the whole wide world.(on my mom and dad's sides) You guys always make me laugh and feel good, and when I'm up here in Utah with you, I never want to go back to Vegas.(cheesy!!!) So I love you guys and am going to miss you more than ever when we go back!
Bye
P.S. Sorry for the abrupt ending. And I feel like way cheesy and sorry, but oh well!

It's 2009! Happy New Year!

2009-01-01T07:40:00.000-08:00

So... it's a new year. All I have to say is Happy New Year and that I'm soon going to go home from a sleepover with my awesome cousins and have some Eggs Benedict. (I don't know if I spelled that right) So Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!!

Boredem is getting to me,,,,

2008-12-27T21:45:00.000-08:00

So ladies and gentlemen, as you can tell... I'm bored. Maybe that's because it's 9:46p.m. and everybody is sleeping. I also spent the majority of my day in the car. Yes, I'm in Utah. Anyway I'm bored so I'm gonna show you some pictures of my computer.............................
I was once again bored and I found this picture of the front of one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie.(which is way too expensive for me to buy anything, but it still cool) They always have the coolest stuff in the front of their store. This is in Rockefeller Center. Those are marshmallows!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-12-25T08:02:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas everybody! I hope your day has been totally awesome because mine has. So for Christmas all I asked for was clothes, a bag for my computer(when I get it), and the sweetest softest black lambie blanket from Bath and Body Works. And if you don't know what I'm talking about the whole computer thing, I've been saving money to buy a laptop. Here's what I got: a computer(which I paid for halfway), the sweetest softest black lambie blanket, and a bag for my new awesome computer. I also got a lot of clothes and The Dark Knight! I'm very satisfied with what I got and hope that you all have a fantastic Christmas!

Thanksgiving is in Two Days!

2008-11-25T18:06:00.000-08:00

So, guys I was just thinking today about the whole "Halloween is over, it's Christmas time!" thing. Don't you guys think that Thanksgiving is pretty important? I mean, piggin' out with family and friends till you think you're gonna either puke your guts out or just explode into a million pieces, therefore die is hard to pass up... Right? Speaking of puking, lately the Elison residence has been hit with some kind of stomach thingy. We've all kind of felt sick. Ryder was first then Haven, my dad,Savannah and then me. I actually had to miss yesterday. (which made my week only two days long... yay!) So, sorry to totally lose my subject, but I think that Thanksgiving is probably one of my favorite holidays. Seriously, how many chances do you get to take a day off to eat? Anyway... I guess that's all I have to say!

P.S. I think I need lessons on how to stick to the subject!

My Review!

2008-11-23T18:16:00.000-08:00

So Thursday night at 7:30 me, Savannah and my mom went and picked up two of our friends and went to Metro Pizza. There, we met to other friends and one of their moms. We ate dinner and left to the Palms movie theater. (this was around 8 something) Then we waited in the longest movie line I've ever seen for about an hour and a half and then decided to get up off our butts and do something. We decided to get some kind of drink. I got a really yummy hot chocolate. After I'd taken, oh, like four sips, the line started to move and I had to throw my delicious drink away because soon we would be in the theater. When we finally got in there we had to sit in the seats for about a half an hour to an hour to wait for the previews to start. Wanna know what movie I saw? Twilight!! (If you didn't already guess.) Even though I had to sit by complete weirdos the whole movie, I very much enjoyed it. I think the did a good job of cramming a 500-something page book into two hours. All I have to say is that I liked it very much and thought the characters were very good and if you didn't like it then that's sad. And I would also like to warn you that if you haven't read the book and are planning to see it, don't see it until you've read at least Twilight.
The End
P.S. I finished Breaking Dawn.(finally!)

Pictures.

2008-10-05T11:51:00.000-07:00

My grandma's front door.
Haven doing... something.
Ryder.
Haven making a silly face.
A bathtub we found on the side of my grandparent's house.

My grandma's flowers.
I didn't notice my little friend until after I took this picture.
Funny.
We found Ryder looking at the pictures on Nat's computer pretty much asleep with his eyes open.
My grandma's flowers again.

That's all I have for you today.

My Wonderful Idea!

2008-09-07T21:07:00.000-07:00

I bet you're wondering what my wonderful idea is. Well, it starts with a commercial. This commercial was for a new Dell laptop. I fell in love with it because you could pick you own color for it. I found that really awesome. So, I went on dell.com and looked at it. It happened to be $749 which is pretty much impossible for me (a girl who almost immediately spends her money as soon as she gets it) to save. So I looked at cheaper ones that you could still customize the color. (If you couldn't already tell, the color thing is my favorite part.) Then, I found the Inspirion 1525 which was only $499. (much more affordable!) I figured out that if I wanted to get this by December I would have to get at least 250 dollars extra. Every month, I get $50 a month for babysitting my two little siblings and my two cousins twice a week while my parents and my aunt and uncle clean my dad's work. Wow, that was really confusing and I'm sorry if it didn't make sense to you, but I need somewhere to put my idea so I can keep track of it. I'll see you later, I guess.

I'm Thirteen!!!!!!

2008-08-30T09:39:00.000-07:00

Ok, so today is my birthday! I'm thirteen. I'm really happy because we're going to go to St. George soon and we're gonna see are best friends, the Clarks. I'm really excited to see them because I haven't seen them in a really long time. I really have nothing else to say and I have to get off the computer before Savannah pulls my head off so... Bye!!
P.S. I thought this cake was really cool!

Bored

2008-08-18T21:28:00.000-07:00

So, some sad things are happening lately. School it starting in a week and I'm going home from Utah tomorrow. I don't want to go to school!! But at least I won't be bored at home anymore, right?
These are some pictures I took while I was bored.
These are pictures I took in my mirror. I thought they were cool.
I didn't feel very well.
Look I found a small ball of light.
Wow, I feel really uh mean putting pictures of my face on here. Sorry.

So...

2008-08-01T12:11:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I haven't posted in a while. (I hope you know since my last post about Batman, I've seen it two additional times!) I have a couple things to say. First of all, for Natalie's birthday we went and saw a Paramore concert! Which was so fun!! I'm sorry, but I didn't bring my camera, but I'm sure Savannah will post about it and she brought her camera. Also, I recently discovered a new band. It's called Mates of State. They are a husband and a wife singing together and I really like their music. I encourage you to check them out. I guess, that's really all I have to say right now.
(If you do go on YouTube to check out their music videos I would suggest not watching the video called Ha Ha. It's an ok song, but the video isn't the greatest.)

Batman: The Dark Knight!

2008-07-22T13:03:00.001-07:00

So, yesterday I went on a Daddy-Daughter date with my dad. We decided to go see a movie. If you can't already tell by the title of this post(and the picture) we saw the new Batman movie. I have to say it was amazing. I think it is probably the best superhero movie so far. Heath Ledger played the villain in this movie, the Joker. He did a great job. Christian Bale did very good, too. The movie was two and a half hours long. It was long, but it was so good, it didn't really matter. I recommend seeing it if you haven't already seen it, but it's not for little kids. Anyway, that is all I have to say.

Pictures from MY camera!!! Finally...

2008-07-17T17:46:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness, you guys. I finally found the cord that connects my camera to the computer and I loaded some pictures on. They're just a whole bunch of random pictures, but the problem is that all my pictures from the concert forever ago and everything after that didn't load. (Including these awesome flower pictures!)
Anyway, since the day before the Fourth of July (when I last posted) nothing's really happened. I mean, I happily celebrated one of my favorite holidays with all of my wonderful family, had the most marvelous two weeks with my aunt and am now very lonely. I'm lonely because today I went to St. George with Maren (my aunt), Savannah, my mom, Haven and Ryder. The reason we went there is so my sister and aunt can go and have a week at BYU for EFY. I did have the choice to go with them and stay and my grandma's house till Wednesday and come back with her, but I asked my mom if instead she would take me school shopping and she agreed. So I shouldn't be complaing. But it's just so dang hard to survive a week with my three year old and one year old little brother and sister and not my bigger sister. We do fight the majority of the time, but she's my sister and I love her and I'll definately miss her.

Ok, so these are all the pictures that I'm going to put today. I can't explain all of them, but some of them are from Easter some of them are from a hike we took and some are just random. I'll put some of the flower pictures from my Grandma Easley's house in a different post.

Utah!!!!

2008-07-03T12:15:00.000-07:00

Right now, I'm writing from Utah. We drove up last night after we fixed our flat tire. And we got here at 1 A.M. which was... not fun because we always get here really early in the morning and it's hard to get back to sleep after sleeping in the car for almost 7 hours. We are up here for (you probably already guessed by the date) the Fourth of July! One of my favorite holidays! Other than Christmas, of course. So yeah! A...n...y...w...a...y... I have nothing else to tell you, but I will have probably really close to a novel of a post to tell you tomorrow.

Wow...

2008-06-29T22:31:00.000-07:00

I am so sorry for not posting in... FOREVER! Geez, I'm a horrible poster. I haven't been thinking about things to post about lately because my summer has been uh... busy. I guess. I've been doing my room, doing my room and some babysitting. I have to be honest, my summer hasn't been so hot. (I guess I can't use that analogy since I live on the sun!) Ok, I'm getting really sidetracked right now, but when I said that I lived on the sun it reminded me of an Eisley song. Only the Eisley fans will understand this next part... "Oh, my love we can live on the sun. And wouldn't we be attractive riding in our tiny (or shiny. I can't tell.) motor cars and eyeglasses full of stars and plenty of paper for scenery painting?..." -Eisley Plenty of Paper I'm really sorry, but I just had to do that. Those words are from the Eisley song Plenty of Paper. Who would want to live on the sun really? Living on the sun wouldn't really make you attractive, it just makes you sweaty. Sorry again for being really random and boring, but that's kinda how my summer's been.

P.S. Sorry mom I know you've been busy. Oh, and I saw that movie Wall e. It was really cute and funny.

Wow, I Like to Procrastinate!

2008-06-16T22:49:00.000-07:00

It has been way more than a month since the concert and I still haven't uploaded the pictures from it. I'm so so sorry you guys. Oh my goodness, people it is Summer. So far it's been a good one. I got a new room! We have a den in our house and we turned it into my room. It is very small, but at least it's my own. I'll have to take pictures of it and post 'em. (if I ever get around to it!)
Sorry my post wasn't very long!

Don't Lose Hope On Me!

2008-05-26T09:32:00.000-07:00

Geez, sorry guys, I haven't posted in FOREVER. I have been waiting for my mom to upload pictures from that awesome concert I went to a while ago. I still will post about it, but it will be really late. I also got some really good videos. I ended up leaving the concert with only 2 minutes worth of room left for videos on my camera. The singer from Vedera has the best live voice ever. I didn't really know who The Myriad was so I didn't take any video of them. Although, my dad really likes them now. Eisley was really good. I took so many videos of them. I'll just have to show you when I get those pictures and videos. Sorry again for not posting for a long time.

I Saw A Movie!

2008-05-17T19:24:00.001-07:00

Last night I saw a movie. I saw the second Chronicals Of Narnia movie, Prince Caspian. The first one was amazing. The second one was amazing, too. I couldn't really compare. One of my favorite things about the movie was the battle scenes. They weren't all gross, but they were awesome. If you saw it then you would know what I meant. I loved it. If you haven't seen it, go see it. If you've already seen it, see it again. If you don't like movies like that or just The Chronicals Of Narnia, boo you.

2 MORE DAYS!!!

2008-05-06T17:51:00.000-07:00

You guys I am so excited it's like not even funny. Tomorrow after school, I'm going to Utah. The day after we get there, my sister, my mom, my dad and I are going to see a concert. Not just any concert, though. We are going to see an Eisley concert! Yes, the people I posted about on my very first post! They are on their tour and they're going to be showing in Salt Lake. That's not the only thing I'm excited for. My cousin is going to get married and that is very exciting. I also get to see all of my extended family. That is always fun.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while and my posts are so short. I just can't write as much as my mom.

Here are some pictures of the awesome people that we are going to be able to meet in only two days!

New Band - The Hush Sound

2008-05-01T19:59:00.000-07:00

So guys, a while ago Savannah showed me a really cool music video. It was "Wine Red" by The Hush Sound. I really love their music and I want you to know who they are... I guess.

Here is a good music video and some pictures of them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r6MFfMEziE - "Wine Red"

P.S. I might post soon about another band, Now, Now Every Children. Because they rock, too. I might not, though so check them out anyway.

I Got a Camera! Woot! Woot!

2008-04-21T18:23:00.000-07:00

For a couple of months I have been saving my money. I've been saving it for a nice camera. I'm usually not very good at saving money, but to keep me away from it I had to lock it in my parent's safe.

This weekend I actually got my camera. It was not cheap, but it was worth it. I got a Casio Elixim. It is 8.1 mega pixels and takes really clear pictures. Here is a picture of it.

P.S. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I was kinda waiting till I got my camera to post or something like that to happen.

I'm Sad... Again.

2008-04-08T20:46:00.002-07:00

As you can already tell, I'm very sad. Not only do I dread going to school, but to make it all worse that once-monthly visitor that we all love happens to be staying in my room this week. Ahhh! I hate, hate, hate it. Sorry, but the only way to truly bring your anger out is to write it down. I also can't get my mind off of the real sad thing. I recently went to the orthodontist. We found out that I needed to get braces... again! I already had them for one year and this is supposed to be for at least 16 months. Oh my gosh! This is not my week. Please don't feel obligated to feel sympathetic for me, but if you have the time go ahead. Once again I'm sorry, but I feel like a piece of junk and I also feel like I don't have enough strength to do anything.

This is me!

Ahh! There's Nothing Like a Weekend.

2008-04-05T12:32:00.000-07:00

This weekend my grandparents from Utah came down here. They also are staying at my house. They take turns with whose house they stay at and this time it's our house. Today we're just kinda hanging out and we might go to lunch or Town Square or something. Tomorrow we're going to have a little birthday party for my cousin Bentley. He's turning 4 and he is very excited. He's having a Spiderman party and I'm excited for that. Well that's my weekend for you. Like the title says, there's nothing like a weekend. Especially with family around you. Everyone have a good weekend!
(Savannah just brought up something that is better than a weekend. Summer vacation which I cannot wait for!)

Best Music Video Ever!!!!

2008-03-31T16:46:00.000-07:00

My sister, Savannah, has a blog, too. She has posted the most wonderful music video created on this earth. You all know that I love Tegan and Sara. Well this video is Sara Quin from Tegan and Sara and the lead singer from The Reason. They are singing to eachother and it is really good. So go to my links of blogs of people I know and go to Savannah. Even if you don't know who these people are just please watch it and I know you will like it. (maybe even love like me) Savannah and I are addicted to it and have to see it everyday. Sad... I know, but we are also addicted to music. Music is Life!

Long Time, No Post!

2008-03-30T10:28:00.000-07:00

Wow people I guess I haven't posted in a while. Well I know it's kinda late, but I hope you all had a happy Easter. I know I did. I don't know what to say, but don't lose hope on me. When I think of something better to post about, I promise I will.

Sad!

2008-03-22T12:24:00.000-07:00

I'm sad today. It is the last day of Spring Break. It was sure fun, though. On Monday, I went to my friend's house and just hung out for a while. I also went to dance in the afternoon. Tuesday, I went to go see Horton Hears a Who. Wednesday, we went to the mall. Thursday, we went to Town Square and I also slept over at Natalie's house. Friday, we went to the mall again. Today, I am not quite sure what we are doing. I am very lucky to have such a fun break. I hope my parents know I am very thankful for everything they took the time to do with us.

Thanks!

Just some pics!

2008-03-21T21:05:00.002-07:00

This week my parents got a really nice camera. I decided to take a couple of pictures. (OK... a lot!)

My little bro, Ryder, eating a pb&j and sandwich.(also shirtless and trying to watch TV)

These are my cousins Bentley and Tanner playing outside. I was only able to take pictures of them because Haven was asleep and Ryder was crying for my parents.

This is my absolute favorite of Bentley.

This is Ryder crying by the door.

And this is little Haven taking a nap in Savannah's bed.

Cutest Movie Ever!

2008-03-19T20:01:00.000-07:00

So, yesterday I went to see Horton Hears a Who. I have to say it was cute. Savannah and I took Haven and my cousin, Bentley, to see it. At one point in the movie all of these little animals that Horton teaches think they have little worlds on clovers as well. One in particular says, "On my world, everyone is ponies and they eat rainbows and poop butterflies!"

Haven found that very amusing and hasn't stopped saying it. It is actually getting quite annoying. It was absolutely amazing! Steve Carell was hilarious. He was the voice of the Who's mayor. Please go see it. (OK, if you truly don't want to, you don't have to)

2008-03-17T13:32:00.000-07:00

Happy St. Patrick's Day everybody! Oh my goodness, I love this holiday. When my sister and I were little the leprechauns used to come and dye our milk green. They would also bring us green yogurt. (Key lime pie!) I thought it was so silly. I remember in kindergarten the leprechauns came to our classroom. They messed up all of our desks and left handprints all over the classroom. They also left "leprechaun dust". We had to follow a whole bunch of clues until we got to the lunchroom to find a cake shaped like a four-leaf clover. Ahh, I miss those days, but they're back! As you may know I have a very gullible little sister. She believes anything you say. We told her if she didn't wear green today that leprechauns were going to come and pinch her. We also got to go back to seeing green milk again and having green pancakes. YAY! I know it's mean to say, but nothing beats teasing your little sister. I guess I got it from my aunt, Natalie, who used to live with us. On a regular basis she would tease me. She still does with two children. Man! I love her. She is like my sister.

Camping is fun!

2008-03-16T11:39:00.000-07:00

So, this weekend my family and I went camping. It was my sisters, my brother, my dad, my uncle, my two cousins, a friend of ours, and I. It was so much fun. We planned on going to our "usual" spot in Valley of Fire. It is really big and in the back of it you turn a corner and there's this really big canyon thing. It's kind of hidden. When we got there our spot was taken and so was every other one in the area. We had to go to another camp ground to look for another spot. We thought it wouldn't be as fun because it wasn't where we'd usually gone. But when we got to our spot we found it was going to be a blast. My uncle and his boys were on the right side of us, but no one was on the left of us. It was only huge rocks you could climb on. I wasn't expecting any fun out of this. I had a wonderful time just that one night and half of the next day. The only problem is that I had to wash my hair twice to get the smell of smoke out of it.

Spring Break!

2008-03-11T20:10:00.000-07:00

Spring Break is coming! I'm so excited and not at the same time. I'm excited because no school! I'm not excited because I'm trying to get used to the time change and I'll have to start all over the week after. I really don't know what to do, though. That is what I hate about days that I miss and I have nothing to do. I have to plan 6 days in just a couple days. Do you like how I'm rambling on and on about my Spring Break. At least I'm posting, right? I think my family is going camping the weekend before. Do you also like that I color coded my letters in spring colors. Well, I guess that's all I have to say.

So...

2008-03-01T20:58:00.000-08:00

Oh my goodness! I haven't posted in FOREVER! I guess I just haven't had anything to write about. I guess I still don't, but I'm kind of ad libbing right now.

I am I'm Utah right now which is pretty much my second home. Almost all of my family lives there. (Actually, the only family that really lives out of Utah is my family, my aunt and her family, my uncle--we all live in Nevada--and my cousins who live in Colorado) So really if I want to see any of my extended family, I just have to go to Utah.

Anyway, today my aunt (who is 14) decided it would be fun to see a movie. I accepted. I was thinking that I really needed to get the last movie I saw out of my head (Alvin and the Chipmunks). We went and saw the movie Penelope. Which is about a rich family who has a curse put on them. The curse was that the next born girl in the family would have the face of a pig. The girl Penelope was the next born girl in the family and like in the curse, she has the snout and the ears of a pig. The curse would only be broken if one of their own kind, a rich person, would tell her that he loves her. Just like myself, all the men she meets run away from her. She cannot find her true love to break this horrid curse. It is just about how she copes with her unique look and how she finds the right person to break the curse. Penelope is played by Christina Ricci. There is James McAvoy and Reese Witherspoon in it as well. I wasn't expecting it to be very good. I was thinking it was gonna be really weird. I thought it was really good. It has a very good storyline and it takes a while to get used to the pig snout and all, but it was fine after all.

My Room

2008-02-18T20:14:00.000-08:00

If you know me well, you would know I have a very very messy room. You might have seen a comment my mother made about us being very much alike as teenagers. She said that only thing that wasn't alike was that I have a very messy room and she didn't. My older sister and I used to share rooms. Every time we had to clean our room Savannah would say, "Sage, I'll clean this side of the room and you clean this side!" I would always reply saying, "OK Savannah!" Also thinking inside, This time I'm really gonna clean it! I never really did. She would get to work so fast and be done in a jiffy. I, on the other hand, would lag on and not even start. She would always get so mad at me.

On Feburary 16, 2008 that all changed. The day before, my dad gave me a "proposition". He said if I woke up at 6:00 a.m. he would help me clean my room. Sure enough, at 6:45 a.m. he woke me up. We got started right then. It took us all day. I have to admit, he did most of the work. But I did a lot of organizing and stuff like that. Now my room has been deep cleaned and if it ever gets messy again, my parents (especially my mother. I once paid her to clean my room) would probably bite my little noggin right off.
Thanks Daddy!!

Five Bucks

I don't know if everyone will love this story as much as I do. I love it because I was there when it happened. A couple weeks ago my sister, Savannah, and I were begging to go to In-n-Out. My parents finally said we could go. I was very excited to get one of their delicious burgers. (Man! I sound like a pig!!) We were all sitting down when we saw a man come in. He arrived on a bike with a sleeping back attatched to the back and the seat was covered in duct tape. He had scraggly clothes on and shoes with duct tape on them. He took his huge backpack off and set it on the table next to us. He took a look and the menu and sort of mumbled to himself as he reached in his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill and some change. When he was done counting it he stopped mumbling and he walked up to the counter to order. With no hesitation my older sister pulled out of her wallet a five dollar bill. She set it on his hat and we walked away. I was speechless. She just taught me a lesson at a fast food restaraunt. We pulled out and waited to see his reaction. He came back and a smile came on his face, he then sat down and started to what looked like praying. Well, I don't know what he was praying about, but I'm sure glad my sister did that. That really did remind me how much better I should be about these things.

Eisley

2008-02-07T16:30:00.000-08:00

My favorite or should I say one of my favorite bands is Eisley. They are not very popular, but there music is awesome. They are all related. Four of the five are brothers and sisters and the fifth one is their cousin. Chauntelle is the oldest and she is one of the guitarists and rarely sings. Sherri is the other guitarist and singer. Weston is the drummer. Stacy is the keyboardist and singer. Garron is their cousin and he plays the bass. I know it may seem like I stalk them, but i only read their on-line blogs and they say a lot in them. If you would like to look at them or any other interesting things about them go to http://www.eisley.com/. I think they are really cool people you should check them out.
