Day 17: An Art Piece (Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Etc.)

I'm not in touch with the "arts", honestly. I was trying to think of any contemporary art, and fortunately I remembered molly jenson. she's awesome. she sings, she has a lot of interesting dreams, and she's an artist! lookit!

it's so cute.

Day 16: A Song That Makes You Cry (Or Nearly)

not so much anymore, but this one usually did it.



and then for a couple days after I watch titanic, this one. hahah. ok fine all the time, if I watch this one because it has footage from the movie. :'(



okie doke. bye.

P.S. have you checked out my VOTW page yet? this week's video is hilarious. believe me.

Day 15: A Fanfic

Ok, so I've never read any fan fiction. well until like 5 minutes ago, but I only read half a page of it. it wasn't very good. but if someone finds any good fan fiction, let me know. anyway, here's a site with tons of fan fiction on it. woo! fanfiction.net

Day 14: A Non-Fictional Book

yep. so basicly the title explains itself. I'm pretty sure I really liked this book...I need to reread it because the last time I read it was 6th grade maybe? I saw this guy speak at the revolve tour, and also he's how I pictured Jacob Black when I read the twilight series. true story.

Day 13: A Fictional Book

I'm seriously too lazy and in a bit of a bad mood today [due to certain parts of the school day and the fact that I'm hungry] to think of a better book than this. plus I haven't read many books lately. this is a good book, though, in my opinion. I'm sure many beg to differ. oh well.

Day 12: Whatever Tickles Your Fancy

I love this song, besides the female's tendency to trail off her voice. you'll probably understand what I mean if you listen. that's all for today!

Day 11: A Photo of You Taken Recently

I took this about 10 minutes ago. it's all 365 photo-esque.

Day 10: A Photo of You Taken Over Ten Years Ago

here's 4. badda bing.

Day 09: A Photo You Took

1...2...3..."awwwwww"

I took this saturday night. we were eating and this little bulldog was randomly on our porch. so cute. I think this is a rather good picture considering it was taken through a glass door, am I right? course I am.

in other news, remember these posts? yes, the helium is coming back soon. I don't know when, but when it does, I'm gonna be up in the air big time. oh yeah.

come back tomorrow, my friends!

Day 07: A Photo That Makes You Angry/Sad

ok. here it is. it's a photo that makes me sad-ish.

because I miss pin!! sad. and we didn't even take a picture at the bro-am. and that makes me angry! so I met the criteria. sad and angry. I don't like this post! it made me sad and angry.
I'm gonna buy new music now. bye.

Day 07: A Photo That Makes You Happy

this 'un:



this is a photo from my first switchfoot show which was exactly one year from tomorrow. but technically it would've been today because it was on a saturday. anyway, I was extremely blessed to have been able to meet them at my very first show! they are so amazing for making that possible.

this photo brings back memories...

waiting in line--the guy in front of us was at the fiction family show and remembered me because Jon wore my fedora. then during the show Jon took and wore HIS fedora. it was so awesome! when we saw each other after the show we were so psyched and hi-fiving and all. it was the coolest thing ever.

the actual show--my first live viewing of guitar screaming. epic!!!!

the meet & greet--I got to give Chad the letters that some boardies wrote. he really enjoyed and appreciated it. it was so so so cool to get to meet all my heroes. and andy barron took that picture. HOW COOL IS THAT! oh, and I'm not sure who that random lady is, but that's ok.

the aftershow--I asked Jon if he was gonna do an aftershow, and he said he'd do one in the parking lot in like 30 minutes. I remember we still had to eat, so we went to subway, and I was freaking out the whole time because I didn't want to miss the aftershow. I scarfed down half my sandwich and sat there all fidgetty til my family finished their sandwiches, then we headed back to the parking lot. we talked to Romey for awhile--he still remembered my name from the m&g, which is impressive considering all the people he met--then Jon finally came out and we walked with him to Wild Wings for the aftershow. I'll never forget the look on some people's faces when we walked in there with Jon Foreman. hahahah. he sat in a highchair and played us some tunes. I was right in front of him, and it was just the most insane thing ever.

I don't think I ever blogged about this show, so there it is, one year late. hahaha. come back tomorrow!

Day 06: Whatever Tickles Your Fancy

I like today's post because I can write about whatever I want. I choose school, since it started wednesday.

sooooo I don't like it. duh. you knew that. I do like some of it, though. so far I really like 5 out of 8 of my classes. so that's good.

but OMG 2 days of geometry, and I'm already lost. I don't get it. I can't even finish my homework. math help needed. I guess I'll ask someone monday, but bleh.

and english...I'm pretty sure I did my summer reading double entry journal wrong, so I might've failed that. that's bad.

and comp and research is not going to be fun. we got assigned a 5 paragraph essay on our first day in there. what? yeah. it wasn't hard, though. I wrote it today. and we don't have to revise it or anything. not too bad.

I'm so tired though, after only 3 days. D: wahhhh. I hope I survive. I guess I will.

OKAY so that's it for today. tomorrow's post will be A Photo that Makes You Happy. yay! I like that.

oh. P.S. I realize that I sound very complainy, but there have been good things about school too! like the other 5 classes that I like. media is my favorite. so fun. and so far every day I've laughed really hard at least once. so school's had good parts too. ok bye!

Day 05: Your Favorite Quote

well this one won't be easy either. I don't really have a single favorite quote, but I have a bajillion random favorite quotes from random times in my life.

here are 3 of my many favorites.

"DO IT LIKE FREDDIE!!" -alex

"wait so who is this justin bieber chick?" -andy barron

"see this one even comes with a phone, see, so he can break up with other dolls..." -taylor swift

she's so funny. here's the video that it came from. if you know anything about her and joe jonas, this will make you laugh. ignore the random selena hahaha.


check back tomorrow! and remember again to look at alex's blog. her quote is heftier than mine. haha.

Day 04: Your Favorite Book

this one is SO HARD. okay. so I'll just tell you my favorite series. seriesesesesesses. more than one series here.

the christy miller series
the sierra jensen series
the christy and todd series
the katie weldon series

all of the above series basicly tie in together, and you have to read them in that order!! you must. these books are great!

and the twilight saga. sorry, but I love those books. the movies, not so much. but the movies are gradually getting better. they have 2 more shots.

an individual book that I read lately that I really enjoyed was How to Save a Life. watch the movie, then read. or vice versa. I think it would be fine either way, because the book was written *after* the movie, so there aren't many differences.

alright. come back in the morn. or afternoon. or night. I'm not sure.

Day 03: Your Favorite Television Show

I think that currently my favorite tv show would have to be iCarly. I'm watching it now. it's really funnyyyyyy and wonderful. I was going to post a video, but I really couldn't find a good one. sorry.

unfortunately, due to the fact that school starts tomorrow, I won't be able to watch television very much anymore. BOOOOOO. I don't wanna go. orientation was last night, and seriously, I was about to cry several times. but that was probably because I was sleep deprived. that always happens. ok. well I have to go finish my summer reading now. procrastination.

Day 02: Your Favorite Movie

before I get down to the nitty gritty, I got some boots today at kohl's. they're not the exact ones I wanted, but they're close enough. and they were fifteen bucks cheaper. they look exactly like this:

so yes. I also tried on TOMS today for the first time, but they really didn't fit me right. I found my size and everything, but I couldn't walk in them without them slipping off my heels, and my toes were all squished in the process. it's all good, though.

ANYWAY. favorite movie time. I'm into the christmas movies. my favorite used to be Elf. but then I decided that my favorite is actually How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I can quote you most of that movie. it's hilarious and wonderful and christmasy and jim carey-y. plenty of reasons to love it.



alright. come back tomorrow.

Day 01: Your Favorite Song

for the longest time, my favorite song ever was "Yet" by switchfoot. but not the studio version. it was a live recording that someone got at an aftershow several months before the album came out and I LOVED it. but I didn't like the studio version as much, and honestly I don't think that it's even my favorite song anymore.

so. I will proceed to list some of my current favorite songs.

in no particular order:

won't turn back - needtobreathe

so tell me why I should run for cover

at the sound of the calming thunder

when all I hear is the cry of my lover

so take your shot

I won't turn back

breathing - lifehouse
cause I am hanging
on every word You're saying
even if You don't wanna speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me

cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside heaven's door
and listen to You breathing
it's where I wanna be, yeah

from where you are - lifehouse
so far away from where you are
these miles have torn us worlds apart
and I miss you
and I wish you
were here

war in my blood - fiction family
I had a girl
I know precisely what made her run
her skin was like the sky
made my heart beat itself like a drum

good intentions - paper route
I wanna be your silhouette
I wanna be your tv set
I wanna be your one solution
I just got no execution

fearless - taylor swift
and I don't know how
it gets better than this
you take my hand and drag me head-first
fearless

and I don't know why
but with you I'd dance
in a storm in my best dress
fearless

yeah huh. I have too many favorites. there are more than that. but whatever!

I got back from camp today and I'm dead. so bye!

reminder: make sure to check out alex's blog every day because she's doing this too!

I'm ready! I'm ready! I want those boots!

OMG I WANT THESE! can someone in europe buy them for me??? I've looked all over the internet for them, but the black ones are only on european sites. WUT. that's stupid. they have them in like pink and white and yellow on zappos, but NO I want BLACK. and oh yes, I posted this on facebook, so I can pretty much guarantee you that sometime during the school year some rich spoiled girl is going to have these. "DADDY CAN YOU GO TO EUROPE AND BUY ME THESE BOOTS THAT LEE POSTED ON FACEBOOK SO I CAN HAVE THEM FIRST???" "sure, darling, whatever you want." yeah. awesome. but I still want them. I wish TOMS made ankle boots. I don't like wearing long shin/knee-length boots. they don't look good on me. they look fabulous on others, but I'm an ankler.

wellllll I'm going to camp tomorrow, and I'll be back sunday to start the 30 day challenge! whoooo.

list numbers 5 and 6

10 reasons why I am not looking forward to going back to school:

1. because this summer was just too awesome to let go of it. really. it was amazing. last summer was amazing too, but this is a different kind of amazing.
2. having to deal with 3 months of inside jokes from the volleyball team. I love you guys, but let's face it. if you're not on the volleyball team, you don't exist or know what the heck anyone's freakin talking about until the season's over.
3. some people get on my nerves and make me all stressed.
4. I haven't finished The Scarlet Pimpernel yet. oh boy. hahaha.
5. I don't want to wear the navy polo and khaki pants! don't make me!!!! at least it's only once a week, though. I'd die if it was every day.
6. all the cool seniors graduated last year. they were my favorite seniors ever.
7. chemistry and geometry. I'm slightly scared of them. they sound all big and scary.
8. I hate waking up early. it's not pleasant.
9. some of my favorite people aren't coming back next year. it's so sad man.
10. no computer this year. that was one of the best classes EVER.

10 reasons why I am looking forward to going back to school:

1. no history this year.
2. praise band! music is win. and I want to play piano some this year.
3. it's certain that I'll not have to deal with certain people as much this year.
4. and I got nothing... I hate school, okay?

goodnight, friends.

what are you looking for with red eyes?

yay. i like that song.

i am tired. we had a crazy hard hill workout last night [1 mile warmup, 1.5 miles hard, four 500 meter hill repeats, then 1 mile cooldown] and i ran literally 12 hours later this morning. and it was so hard. but i'm done now, so hoorah!

after i get back from camp on sunday the 15th [timmy's birthday!!] alex and i are going to start the 30 day tumblr challenge. i know this isn't tumblr, but get over it! i hope we can keep it up, because school is going to start while we're doing this. gross!

meanwhile, i've added a couple new photos to my photostream. check 'em out?


stay focused:



the waltzing swinger:


adios!

YAY!!!!

READ THIS NOW! this is my bestestestest buddy alex's blog! yay. hehe!

this school year...

i'm making a list of goals for my sophomore year. i'll also put this list on the sidebar of this blog so that you can see which ones i've accomplished, if you're into that kind of thing. so here goes. i may add to this list too.

• attend a sweet 16 party
• get my restricted liscense
• get all A's on a report card
• play piano in chapel

lame list, huh? i thought i had more goals than that. oh well. hahaha.

aw man.

i'm back from tennessee. i lost my favorite worn down guitar pick in dollywood though. it's sad. i think it flew out of my pocket when i was riding this baby. [i was wearing basketball shorts, so it's possible, ok?]

it can't be replaced. but i'll just have to start over with a new pick. it's a material possession, though, and i'll eventually convince myself that it's ridiculous to become attached to a piece of plastic. OK BYE.

we are the grapes of wrath, so stay out of our path!

I'MLEAVINGBYE.

headaches! you give me headaches!

i have a headache.
and today is just one of those days.
where it seems like everyone is on the other team.

i MUST see this movie.

i'm pretty sure like 2 months ago mellie [i think it was mellie] posted this trailer. i think! but anyway. it doesn't seem like a movie i'd be allowed to watch, or even a good movie for that matter, but i have to see it. and for the record, i totally would've picked alot of these actors over the ones in the real twilight movies. especially edward and bella.

dear _______: 3rd edition

welcome to the 3rd installment of dear _______:. [i'm currently craving grilled cheese because gibby just made some on tv.] here are the first and second editions if for some reason you'd like to see. first edition//second edition and the people are different people. well they're almost all the same people, but in a different order.

dear 1: i miss you! duh. i'm still hoping you'll come ba-ck *singsong voice*

dear 2: you're the best friend, song writing buddy, performing buddy, and weird conversation buddy EVER.

dear 3: oh wow. hah. i don't think this is gonna work out. i think i'm gonna write a song about you and that'll be the end of it.

dear 4: i kinda like you. but it doesn't seem like it would ever work out, plus you don't seem to fancy me much. it's cool. oh wait, no. it's not really. oh well.

dear 5: you are so COOL. you remind me of me, but way more COOL. and more pretty and confident. ahaha.

dear 6: stop being in my mind! and why do you keep looking at me. it's annoying. because it makes me feel like an idiot all over again. i need to move away.

dear 7: leave me alone! please?

dear 8: you're the coolest kid ever! hahahah you entertained me so much today.

dear 9: i hope you're not in many of my classes this year. that would be grand.

dear 10: i respect you alot more now, and i hope to be like you someday.


i think i wanna do one of them 30 day blog challenge things. like nova's doing. i'll start tomorrow.
