still so young desperate for attention

Just the big scary unknown

2006-02-01T18:19:17Z

“People don’t want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messed cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown”

isn't it totally crazy how true that quote is? People are now saying they can't wait to get away from highschool, from chesterfield, from everything they know... because they're sick of all this "HS drama" and the "BS" that goes on behind EVERYONES backs. Yet, it's crazy...when people actually "get away" a new drama starts up.. and it's just the same as the "HS drama"

These young people have done an outstanding job using different commercials
to describe God. You will enjoy this.

Here are some of the results: scroll down.

God is like..
BAYER ASPIRIN
He works miracles.

God is like...
a FORD
He's got a better idea.

God is like...
COKE
He's the real thing.

He gets the stains out that others leave behind.

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet nor ice will keep Him from His appointed
destination.

It's been a while...

Heh.. so mostly January has been AMAZING. Cody & i are still together & I'm very glad that we are. He is REALLY REALLY AMAZING. & i couldn't ask for anyone better.

But...most of january has been spent with Cody & at school.. school totally sucks.. i have a REALLY bad case of senoritis... and it doesn't help when my trig teacher really doesn't teach & have us learn...and when he lets me go to the clinic everyday & check out... But he can get over it.. I think i was doing better in that class until i had to check out for a gov exam & ended up missing about a lessons worth... SO tomorrow when i take that test.. i wont know ANYTHING :)!! Yay for failures!

Sociology ends this week.. Which i must say sucks.. not only because i actually have service on my phone so i can text with cody, but because that class really was interesting.. Maybe it's something i can look into for the future. It's deffinately a fun class.

Hmm.. Ahh!!! This past weekend.. ROCKED! haha. My parents were out of town & so i was able to spend MOST of the weekend with my Cody <3. Other than us both having things to do on saturday night & me having church on sunday... so i think between friday & Sunday we had... maybe close to 40 hours together.. & IT WAS GREAT!! LOL. sorry i feel like Cody is all i can talk about.. but, he really is amazing & he really means alot to me.

well i'm going to go get some peppermint tea & try to feel better.. my throat & stomach have been killing me today and medicine and hours of sleep hasn't really helped...nor did the subway & heaths... haha.

xoxo
Later.

i dont if i should be getting mad at this but i kinda am. Andrea's party. Seriously. PEOPLE HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR OVER A MONTH...

and now ... other people want to have a party.. inviting the SAME people.. & those people are going to leave Drea's party & leave. I dont know if i'm mad at them leaving.. or upset that i don't know any of the other people who will be there.

At least I'll have Cody since everyone else wants to effing leave. Gah. I think i'm more excited to go to Gregs. It should just be really chill. & There won't be drama there like there will with all the church people.

Playing around with our Cameras!

2005-12-30T18:12:23Z

heh. I'm not sure why. BUT I REALLY LOVE these pictures :)

Washington D.C. Temple= BEAUTIFUL!

2005-12-30T18:03:57Z

Washington D.C.

2005-12-30T17:52:23Z

Wow. yesterday started early. But at least it was good :)

My Church youth group & my awesome boyfriend Cody all went to Washington D.C. on a temple trip. But we went early & stopped at the "national Mall"... which girls, let me tell you, IS NOT a shopping mall.. yeah, it's a field. Kinda a disappointment...but we got there around 9:30 & had until 12:30 to do whatever.. every group needed a parent ... but my parents went & said it would be okay if Cody & i went off. [& oh yeah.. it was raining.]

So we went to the natural history & saw dinos & the hope diamond :) LOVELY! haha. Then.. got bored. So we basically walked around with no clear intent then.. decided to go to B&N... so we looked around& asked venders & made our way there. Kinda funny how we're in D.C. & of all places, we go to a bookstore. BUT it was fun & nice & toasty inside :). While we were there we hung out in the window & took pictures of random cars & shops... and people. haha. I'll have to get a bunch of those pics off of Cody's camera. I have a few. After that we went to the temple/Visitor center & hung out there for HOURS. it got pretty boring but.. the temple is SO pretty. I love it. Seriously.. LOVE IT.

My friend Nick who lives in D.C. area came & met us up.. and my mom said my uncle was at the bookstore.. so we went there & i saw him & i got a new CTR ring & bumper sticker. :) Gosh. It's amazing how much i love my church. I really have known in the past that i love it. BUT i mean... its like a renewed love for it. The temple is SUCH an amazing place. Alot of non-members wouldn't understand. But there is a spirit & reverance about the place that really just puts the soul at ease.

after the baptisms for the dead we went out for pizza. haha.. CRAZY. like.. 30+ mormons in a pizza hut? You can say it got pretty loud! Sarah, Keith, & Nikki sat with Me & Cody. ... Keith & Sarah are so so so CUTE together. ahh i just love them. Cody & i think that they act SO much like us. heh. Copy catters! :)

On the way home i fell asleep in cody's lap with my finding nemo blanket... it's SO nice to wake up and see his face. I always get butterflies in my tummy & i can't help but smile.

it was a good day :) i guess you can say!

OTHER.. than not being able to rent Serendipity & From Hell.. because our Blockbuster doesnt have them. Grr.

are dinos gay?

he's eating my BF!! Ahh!

Yeah.. we did that. we threw him into the pit!

Spying outta Barnes & Nobles window!

...this might look a little weird.. but really. he was going to sleep.

kinda sad. i miss E-dawg.

2005-12-29T03:57:37Z

in the past i've asked why can't people just get over things & move on...

and then i read things that friends have written to the lovely Erica Kilpatrick.. and remember how FUN LOVING she was & how straight out halairous she was. I totally miss her. i always will.

i wish she were still here. As with Jeremy.

it almost feels lame to say this.. but we're too young to have to be dealing with this.. but it's real life. Death is part of life.

but i miss the lives that we've lost.

:(

Keys to my Heart

2005-12-28T04:01:08Z

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

He never said it, but girls know this stuff.

2005-12-27T02:21:29Z

Man. Christmas was really gloomy this year. I'm not too sure why. Maybe it was the rain & fog? Who knows.

I didn't get my lap top. But i may have pouted around & bargined enough to actually get one. :) so i'm keeping my fingers crossed & my hopes low. But who knows.

I talked to my dad for the first time in my life. I didn't know what to say. He kind of rambled on. I'm not all too sure about what. I was driving.. and trying not to die with in the mist of thick fog on I-95. He wants to get together with Chris & I sometime soon.. and that should be exciting. haha.. if mom doesn't get my laptop... i know some one who owes me a life worth of ..."being there" haha.

Christmas with Cody was better than christmas with my family. heh.. even if i did get draaaaaged to JT's house. But after a bit there i got over it & actually enjoyed it.

But Cody. You're A M A Z I N G ... Got that? Amazing!

& today i got home & passed back out. Had to go to Beths for hours worth of pictures before Billy goes over seas. And all i wanted to do was shop so i was in a piss head mood for the couple of hours that that took.

After i took my cousin Lauren And went Shopping. I spent over $90 at Old Navy on a bunch of Jeans & a tee Shirt. about ... $25 at limited Too. Yes, thats right. THE KIDS STORE! haha. I got my cousin earrings & i got a shirt for me.. :) haha. What can i say? & $10 at Ulta.. Lip gloss :) for both me & Lauren....and i got "The Truth About Diamonds" by Nicole Richie... and so far it's actually pretty good :)

"...If he got sex out of her, even better. He never said it, but girls know this stuff. Guys are so transparent most of the time. Unless, of course, they're dating you, in which case they are utter mysteries."

But since i got home i've been trying to get my dresser[s] cleaned out & actually get things organized. I know that i've had major distractions & i'm trying to fix most of it before school starts back up. I'm dying in Trig & REALLY have to kick it into gear so i dont fail. And, as sad as i am to say this... i may even have to cut a slice out of the BEST distraction i have. I hope i won't have to do too much of the slicing there. But i really want to push myself to do better in school & just finish it the hell up.

Oh Man. I dont know what else really to blog about.. so I think i'm off to do more room-organizing. And Clothing throw aways. And Laundry..and... and... SLEEP :)

in my awesome fleece blanket. :) i got ANOTHER ONE :) haha. that's love there. Straight up :)

Let it snow

2005-12-24T16:39:18Z

So i believe this christmas is going to be unlike any other. I've always spent it with my mommy, but she has to work tomorrow. BESIDES. it doesn't even feel like christmas to me this year. There just isn't that much christmas cheer going around. People haven't put up lights or anything. I know in my neighborhood they MAKE us do these candle bag things on christmas eve. So i mean tonight it'll seem more like Christmas i guess when the whole neighboorhood is lined with Candles.

Mom went to go meet up with my Dad today. Evidently he IS actually giving Chris & I something. haha... first time in my life. He didn't even send the card he promised for my surgery... WHAT A JERK! Oh well i've learned to deal with it.

Speaking of Chris.. i really miss my brother. I rarely get to see him. His girlfriend Jordon, well i actually like her & approve of her. Usually i haven't liked anyone that he has dated. So i'm really glad he's got a good one :) She, actually left me a comment the other day saying how Chris tried to call me. heh. I'm actually kinda sad that i missed his call. But i called him back today.. Jordon answered.. Chris was in the shower. Funny thing is thats where i was when i missed his call... SO hopefully he'll call back.. or else i'll just try again later.

ALSO. my aunt Cathrine is in town. ehh.. if you've heard of her at all she's the crack whore from NY. But.. haha yeah. I'm kinda excited to see her.. haha. I should call her.. CATHY Oh man does she hate that! :)

I'm going over to Cody's tomorrow night & that'll be something new. I usually spend all of Christmas with my family. But since my grandma moved things are kinda different. Going to Debbie & Marty's just isnt the same as Grandma's for Christmas... i mean.. my granny & pop pop live there.. but it's not THEIR house.. so it kind of lost the over all effect.

...idk. i might go there after church just to see everyone. I believe it might be the last time i'll see my uncle Billy for a LONG time... He's going to have to go to Afganistan. Man does that bite. ... Also, David just got home from Iraq the other day. i was REALLY excited to see him. Man Anna was glowing. I had never seen her that happy!!

Well today is Christmas dinner.. & cookies. haha. I can't wait until tonight to open a present. :) I love that tradition.

...i'm off to do some physics. Then Shower and not stink. :)

xoxox
Merry Christmas Everyone :)

LOVE YOU!

2005-12-22T14:44:09Z

So yesterday was pretty lame. I know it was only my fault but i wish it could have been better.

I woke up around 12, jumped in the shower & had high hopes of spending at least an hour with Cody before i went to an interview...but that didn't happen. Sooo i went to this interview that is up by my aunts house [where i am now] and i totally got lost, and no one was helping me. They only got me more & more lost... Sorry people who helped, but i suck at directions. But i ended up on like otterdale in the middle of no where... passing dairy farms and grain storage thingys it was totally crazy...THEN my gas light came on. HAHA as if it weren't bad enough mom left with out giving me gas money that morning!! So i finally found Hull Street...and what totally sucked is, i came out RIGHT BY THE ZOO. I love the Anderlins Dearly...but i hate to go around the zoo. Just because i know that one of the greatest people i had ever met in my life died right there. And it so totally sucked that i had to come to that spot. While listening to the song that reminds me so much of Erica. While i'm lost. But also, in a way it was almost like knowing that i have a gaudian angel who is looking out for me. I know i should have ran out of gas. You cant go 70 miles on E... [i also ended up in Ptown...i was a mess & all over the place...]

I finally got to my aunts and just stayed put there...and about the interview it turns out Dave said it was next week...but he said "next wed" last week...and so evidenly HE was the one who messed the dates up...not me.

I babysat for karen also. It was really sad. Her husband recently died of Cancer & it was his birthday. So during the day she took Ashley & Amanda to their daddy's grave sight & left balloons and sent a cupcake to heaven. Oh goodness the girls were too excited telling me about the cupcake last night. But... Amanda, i think she really misses her dad. She was really fussy, i had never seen her like that. I just wanted to grab hold of her and tell her that it would be alright. Ashley is still too young to know really the extent to the whole situation.

But i watched FIVE ... yes FIVE hours of desperate housewives...and thats not even half way through the second disc of the first season...and ithink there are ... like...SIX. haha. So i have my thing to do when i go over there now...which will most likely be atleast once a week...most likely on Wed nights. But i really got into the show...if you've watched it i'm where Mrs. Solis is hit by that kid Andrew...After she took the picture. Whoa. Intense stuff. And i'm really dying to see everything that happens...haha with Zack. And everything with Dana. Man. i'm crazy. Only crazy people enjoy THAT much drama on TV.

my phone it totally dead & i'm babysitting until maybe 3 today. My aunt Beth & Uncle John had to go to DC for an apt and yeah. Pretty lame. I need to shop. :)

well i'm off to do whatever. Most likely just chill & check out bands & stuff that people do when they are bored & on the computer.

xoxo

You don't need to understand!

2005-12-17T17:54:33Z

So babysitting last night kind of sucked. I would have much rather of been out with a few people...

The little boy Andrew is no longer shy... he was running around and getting into everything... and he's talking now so he wouldn't sush up during the movie. Mary-Kate had already seen the movie and kept telling us what was going to happen next. Meg... haha. She is always good.

I really wanted to see Cody, but i couldn't exactly go out at 12:15, thats usually the time i'm coming home. :( so it was a major bummer. I really wanted to go. I felt stupid for saying no.

Also this morning i woke up with Ryan knockin on my door asking for a thremas [sp?] that i used thrusday and i mean i havent been in my backpack since then but i gave it to him and then a few minutes later i got up to go to the bathroom and heard Dan yelling about me and being such a screw up. i slammed the door.. didn't really mean to. But it happens. Evidently it's his.. not the families.. and i didn't ask to use it and i didn't RETURN it. Man. sometimes i just.. want to move in with Beth. I've really been condsidering it SO MUCH lately. Esp since the stake break.

Ugh. i hate Dan. i know hate is a strong word. but i couldn't think of a stronger one at the moment.

Well i think today Lindsey & i are going to go to Stony point for the Snow :) and i need to do some shopping.. i'm trying to talk mom into letting me take her card. Hopefully she'll let me.

I still dont know what Cody wants... CODY.. WHAT DO YOU WANT? :( i'm not doing the clichical gf thing and give you a framed picture of myself. Heh.. if i did it would be that picture where you think i look mean.. that i ADORE! therefor... heh.. it's adorable :)

The honorary Title really is awesome. I love that band for sure. & & & ...

idk outta things to say. that happens alot lately. I think i am going to finish making today's plans.

xoxo

you can take the girl outta utah, but you cant take utah outta the girl

2005-12-16T18:20:17Z

man oh man! Spring break seems like forever away. If Sarah goes back to Utah i might go there for SB! Go to OREM!!! SPANISH FORK!! PARK CITY!! SLC!!!

Gosh. i'm excited. I love Utah. it owns every other state.

:)

oh yeah. and i got the puff today :) so it makes me more excited about Utah every day of my life!!

Kiss me on the forehead, angel, before I go to sleep. I can't remember if it's Thursday or December

2005-12-16T15:26:07Z

Well, yesterday was great! Granted, revenge is sweet. And other than two hours next tuesday i'm on break. Dang it feels good to be a SENIOR!! woot woot!

Well wed i was kinda upset and i figured i TRULY hate TRIG! haha. And my Geohle doesn't teach a thing. [ its pronounced gaylie] and so i slept that whole period because i didn't feel like being there. I should have been there today for review.. but why go to school for an hour? No point in it. haha. Same thing i said last friday... that's odd! But oh well.

But Thursday...being, yesterday. I heard of someone talking about me and about something she shouldn't even be talking about or involved in. I accidently spilt soda on her. It's fun. I think i'll brag about that one. I have the right to do just that... Don't I? I was going to do more but it was raining and i had better things to do and a MUCH better person to spend time with VS. worrying about getting even or just being a total jerk!

haha. And since i'm not really one to kiss and tell, i can't really go into detail about much of anything.

erm... Cody & i went to taco bell & we heard soemthing about girls taking pictures of their sisters naked and other guys getting a hold of them. Weird. heh.. and i knew the girl who was talking about it. It's kinda sick if you ask me!

Buttttttttttttt... idk. out of things to say.

& life is good :) So.

CHYEAH!

Sunrise before dawn

2005-12-13T17:41:30Z

Okay, so Cody is just simply amazing :) i love to spend any and all the time i get to spend with him. And i think it's pretty vice versa. We haven't gotten sick of each other YET.. and hopefully we won't.

On a lighter note. I have all A's and B's... :) i think thats a first in a long while... or else the teachers lied & just dont want to give any of us exams :) which is FINE BY ME! So if i'm lucky in Trig, my winter vacation will start on Friday.

I waited a week to write three papers in International affairs.. did them today in Graphics & got all C's.. but most of the class had F's. He said they were like 7th grade papers. But i dont know what he's talking about.. the man can barely spell. but. i can't really say much there, i suck at spelling. But we had to do an outline today and that really helped me plan out my big paper, and i figured i need to start doing that for even the small papers because it really does make the paper 90% easier :) SOoooo.. hopefully i get a good grade on my paper Thursday.

Other than that.. been doing a bunch of babysitting lately. It's christmas .. so the rich ladies and gents in midlo are all going to their lavish parties and supplying me with money. Also, i wrote an e-mail to a photographer in the area today, i was told i'm better than him with computers and digital stuff, so i figured i could be of assistance to him. And also i would get a feel for the field and actually figure if i would like to do it for a living. I'm excited to hear back from him.

I used to wanna work with commonwealth for the benefits i've seen Jami weep. She got a free like $1000 digital camera. I was totally jealous, and she gets to use the computers and professional photopaper/printers for everything. And it really makes me jealous. You can't really go anywhere and get a GREAT quality print around here. Not even Richmond Camera. i was actually very surprised when CVS gave me a good color digital print. So, i've been going there more lately. And heck. i'm glad i went there the day i did :)

But yeah, i'm just basically rambling on. So i'm gunna go do something more important... like myspace. or sleep. or even write my paper. hehe... just kidding. who does that? Homework? Gross... school work.. is left at school for me. seriously. i just dont do homework. :)

but yeah. i'm off.

xox

and what about this time around?

2005-12-10T03:30:16Z

Man oh man. haha can't really put things into words very well at the moment..

but life is great. Last night was great. :) :)

I don't think that i've stopped smiling but twice.
[way to let me down twice today... haha actually three. Sorry, no midnight sightings tonight!]

<3

i feel like an idiot with this blog, but idk what to say. Things are just... amazing! :)
