Dead End

Fun In The Rain

"I base my fashion on what doesn't itch."-Gilda Radner

My life hasn't been too exciting lately, so there is really not much to write about...
A couple of weeks ago, me and my friend of a decade decided to have one of the funnest times ever! We were bored.... it was dark... it was raining.... So, naturally, we grabbed a stuffed animal, a bandanna, and had a blast! We ran out into their field, and played Marco Polo- (the stuffed animal wouldn't make sense unless you've seen it.. It was mainly lurched around, trying to hit someone)- But not just regular Marco Polo.. It was more like Marco Polo for people on speed.... (Not that I know how you act on it, of course...) We were running around, not breathing from all the laughter, and having a great time! While getting soaked, as well : ) Oh, and his little brother was playing too. : )
What was soooo funny, though, was this: I was the one with the bandanna on, and I finally hit someone... I took off the blindfold to realize why I had gotten him... His mother had sneaked out, crouching and creeping, and being VERY quiet... Right as Ethan (my friend) turned around, she jumped out and was like: "yahhhhh!" Ethan was like: "Ahhhh!" And flew up his arms! It was soooo funny... Although, I really have no idea how I didn't hear the Yahhhhh... or the ahhh for that matter... Anyway, we came in soaked, happy, and exhausted... But it was so fun :D
Just one memory that I want to record so I won't forget :)

Me and my friend, Ethan, when we were 6 (me) and 5 (Ethan) : )

Labor Day Weekend

"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."-Mark Twain

Haha, that's one of my favorite quotes!

This will, I think, be the fifth, maybe sixth, who keeps count, year in a row where my family goes up to our boat on Labor Day weekend :) The weather (quite surprisingly) is supposed to be nice! Not warm, mind you, but nice! Sunny, 70 degrees (not on the water...), and breezy! :D It should be fun!! Although, I wish my friend could come up, too... But she can't :(

I have to leave in about ten minutes to go to drivers training... blah.
Maybe if I hide under the covers I won't have to go...

Saturday... Something or other. (yes, I know it's Wednesday)

"The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them."-Will Rogers

I'm doing this very wrong, I know. You are supposed to do these things on a Saturday, or a friday, or whatever... But, ah, shoot, I'm going to do them now, because they look fun.

I haven't the foggiest as to what this was.. Something about Saturday...

1. Have you ever stayed online for a very long time waiting for someone?
Not for a very long time... I gave up... I think I ended up calling her.

2. How do you eat oreos?
Oreos are high in calories, sugar, and fat, I never eat anything like that. Or.... Maybe just... six... with a cup of milk.... Yeah, that's a little more like it...

3. Are you cocky?
Ha, no. Or.. at least I hope I'm not.

4. Did you have an imaginary friend as a kid?
Little one, yes. He was a mouse. I believe he looked like Stuart Little... Perhaps he peaked my idea... (He always lost the contests I had with him. ;P)

5. What t.v. station do you watch the most?
Gosh... I watch too much tv in general... ABC Family, (no, not really, never mind), TNT? I know the numbers... Not the stations... : P

6. Have you ever seen the ocean?
As I was puking my guts as well, yes.

7. Have you ever been hospitalized?
No. I am a safe, timid person who never gets injured.

8. What's your favorite brand of rootbeer?
Blech.

9. Could you live without a computer?
The horror!

"Is sloppiness in speech caused by ignorance or apathy? I don't know and don't care."-William Safire

Looking at some blogs, I feel rather stupid when I just "journal" on a blog. I have no deep thoughts, (though my title may say otherwise.. frankly, that just sounded cool... Ok, I may have a few thoughts, but not many... mostly just rambles...) No inspirational writings, and nothing tremendously creative to put... What am I doing on here? I'm not sure, but oh well... It's fun...

Below, I put a few pictures that I took up at our boat. We are going up there again for Labor day, and I am quite, quite excited! I just hope it's not frigid. Apparently Michigan forgot that Fall is not supposed to come until September 22nd; it, instead, decided to come mid August. Greatttt.

Eep! First Drive!

"The prospect of a long day at the beach makes me panic. There is no harder work I can think of than taking myself off to somewhere pleasant, where I am forced to stay for hours and 'have fun'."-Phillip Lopate


Aye yae yae yae yae! I have to drive on the "real" road today.... I am NOT looking forward to it! Whatsoever! This is my second week of Drivers' Training, and, so far, I've only driven around our mall, and in the parking lot. I feel sorry for my driving partner! *nervous smile* All I ask is that I don't crash! (And that I can change lanes... That'd be good, too) I actually have to go in... 2 hours! Blech. Then I have to do the boring class time, too.... Ugh. I cannot WAIT for this class to be over.. alas, there are still two weeks...
Ah well.

Spring Poem

"Chess is as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you can find outside an advertising agency."-Raymond Chandler

Spring

The sun rises on the dewy grass.

The last bits of snow in the hidden

Shadows slowly melting.

As the trees are lifted of their burden,

And the birds begin to sing,

Like Aslan comes spring,

Bringing life to the dead.

And as the rains are spread,

Wiping away the sadness of winter,

Does spring come.

A poem I had to write for English. : )

The Poor Swing

This was my first try with my sister's camera... This poor swing has had so many butts sit on it. :)

First Post

Barmoeter, n: An ingenious instrument which indicates what kind of weather we are having.-The Devil's Dictionary

Alrighty, the beginning of my postings on a blog... Yikes... Oh, what to write, what to write... I suppose I can just write about the daily going-ons of my life (they are quite interesting, I assure you ; P)
Firstly, I wanted to create a blog to blog what I've been doing creatively, sort of to keep track of what I've been doing in the artsy, crafty land. Although, with school starting here shortly, my crafts may not come very often, unfortunately. Mostly what I do craft-wise is scrapbooking, but I'm really wanting, and trying, to do some interesting photography! I'm saving up my money (starting like last week....) to buy a really nice camera, like those both my sister and brother have. (I have an older brother and an older sister, by the way) I am soooo jealous of them!! I want one so bad! But.... It probably won't be until next year some time, before I get one... :( So, for now, I shall just have to be satisfied with my point and shoot. :)
I am very scatter-brained, so my blogs will probably be very helter skelter... Oh man, you probably don't hear this very often from a normal teenager, but I can't wait for school to begin! I have been on break since mid-May, and I don't start until mid-September, and I haven't really done anything this summer, so I'm looking forward to actually having something to do!! Although, once it starts, I probably will want it to end! :P
So, I guess I'll end this very random first post of mine with a ta ta!
