"You don't wear makeup?!"

Oh wow. What a day. Not exactly the greatest. Although I did get some laughs, so it wasn't all bad. Lunch pretty much sucked, and so did the beginning of guitar, but then Jared got me laughing, so it was all good. :D

I told Jared that he should pass off my songs for my in guitar (I had to pass off two today). He told me that he'd need a wig, we'd have to change clothes, and he'd need some makeup. I told him "I don't wear makeup..." Oh man, I just had to laugh! You should have seen his face! It was classic! I loved it. He was like "What?! I totally thought that you wear makeup. You look like you do, that's why I said that..." It was great. I really don't wear makeup, I wasn't just saying that.... alright, so maybe you just had to be there. :D Or maybe you just had to be me. :D

I'm going to Disneyland tomorrow! Look out Cali, here I come! ;)

Oh wow, I'm really behind in work. Still. And I'm no where near done packing. And I have to get up at like 4 tomorrow to finish. Oh boy.

Annnyway, I thought I'd post one more time before I leave. Have a wonderful week, everyone! I get back Saturday night!

Sing a Song

I am in a really good mood! Despite the fact that I should be doing homework right now. For some reason, I'm just really happy, and I don't know why! I love feeling like this. :D I'm totally singing along to my stereo and stuff. It's good time.

The bad news is, it's end of term and I feel terribly behind. :( That's ok. I'm going to catch up. I know it! I have to! But I'm feeling really optimistic, it's going to be very good.

I am very much a daddy's girl. Tonight I got to go to dinner with my dad, and it was just us two. We haven't been able to do something like that in a long time, and it was really fun. Hopefully we'll get to do it again soon.

I really love how light it is outside. Totally makes me happy.

Tomorrow is Friday! Who loves weekends? Me! Me! :D Region dance Saturday! All the cool kids will be there. :D I'm so going. ;) It's gonna be good.

Oh man, sorry for the hyper randomness. :D

I'm going to Disneyland next week. I'm pretty excited! People make fun of me for saying this, but I haven't been since July. My mom is a total disney geek. I actually don't mind it. Disneyland is fun. I love the rides. And I can totally scope out the hot Californian guys. ;) lol. jk.

Alright, well I'm gonna get some homework done. This post was fairly pointless, but I had fun with it. :D
Talk to you later!

Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, which most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be wonderful, talented, gorgeous, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest God's glory within us. It is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we automatically give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence liberates others.

My dad gave me a copy of this quote. I'm not sure who said it, but it's amazing. And it's true!
There's the thought for the day! ;)
I'm out.
*corky*

Happy Day

Good morning everyone. I just woke up! Stake Conference is today, and it's really going to be a great day! I'm very happy and very optimistic this morning. :D

Nathan asked me to Prom this week. I'm pretty excited. It's going to be really fun! And I already know how I'm gonna answer him. I figured it out on Friday night. I was just messing with him earlier when I told him it was gonna be bad. ;) But now that I actually know what I'm doing... oh man, it's gonna be classic. :D I would tell you what I'm doing, but since Nathan is one of the like... 3 people who read my blog, I'll wait until he posts about it. :D

I love boys choice dances. There's SO much less work for me. :D

Oh! I got my sweethearts pics from my uncle finally. I might post one of them. I really really like them! I think they turned out really well considering how dark it was.

Well, I have to leave for church in about an hour, so I should probably start getting ready now. :D Have a great day, everyone!

Awww...Cute!

"She's Everything" -Brad Paisley

She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody

She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowing
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving

[Chorus]
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
'Cause she's everything to me

She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy

She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing

[Repeat chorus]

She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for

And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me

Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me


Alright, this song is cute! I love it! It's country, so I know a few people won't like it. But you have to admit, the lyrics are good. :D Oh man, I love music! This is seriously good stuff. I love getting itunes gift cards for my b-day. :D
Anyway, I better run. You guys rock.
*corky*

Is this a pick up? 'Cuz I've gotten better lines from boys in my high school lunch room.

I know Spencer might not approve of this, but I think it's hilarious! These are all pick up lines, and they make me laugh. :D They're all pretty cheesey, just a warning. Would these actually work on me? A few of them might. ;) You'll just have to try them out for yourself!

Do you have a Bandaid? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you.
Let's make like fabric softener and snuggle.
There must be something wrong with my eyes, I can't take them off you.
Girl, you better have a license, cuz you are driving me crazy!
You make me melt like hot fudge on a sundae.
Can I borrow a quarter? I want to call my mom and tell her I just met the girl of my dreams.
I must be in heaven because I'm standing next to you!
If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.
You must be from outter space cause I can see the stars in your eyes.
If you were a booger I'd pick you first.
Can I have directions? To your heart.
Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
When I saw you from across the room, I passed out cold and hit my head on
the floor...so I'm going to need your name and number for insurance reasons.
You know what? Your eyes are the same color as my Porsche.
Do you have a map? Because I just keep getting lost in your eyes!
Is there an airport nearby or is that my heart taking off?
Do you have any raisins? No? How about a date?
A song from your lips is an aria from heaven.
Are you a parking ticket? You got fine written all over you.
Are you a tamale? 'Cause you're hot.
Are you accepting applications for your fan club?
Are you an interior decorator? When I saw you the room became beautiful.
Are you as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside?
Are you going to kiss me or do I have to lie to my diary?

So there you have it. :D They're hilarious, right? ;) That's my bit for the night.
Adios, Amigos.

Just A Line In A Song...

Ok, I really love music. It's amazing... I just love it! There's a song for every mood. Different songs strike me at different times. These are just a few lines from a few songs that made me think. Maybe they applied to my life at the time, or maybe I just like the lyrics. Anyway, here ya go. :D

"I'll be your crying shoulder, I'll be love's suicide I'll be better when I'm older, I'll be the greatest fan of your life." -Edwin McCain, I'll Be

"Our song is the slamming screen door, Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window When we're on the phone and you talk real slow Cause it's late and your mama don't know Our song is the way you laugh The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"And when I got home ... before I said amen Asking God if he could play it again" -Taylor Swift, Our Song

"He said the way my blue eyes shined Put those Georgia stars to shame that night I said: "That's a lie."Just a boy in a Chevy truck That had a tendency of gettin' stuck On backroads at night And I was right there beside him all summer long And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone." -Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw

"I'm falling even more in love with you letting go of all I've held onto I'm standing here until you make me move I'm hanging by a moment here with you." -Lifehouse, Hangin' By A Moment

"Cause it's you and me and all other people with nothing to do Nothing to lose And it's you and me and all other people And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you" -Lifehouse, You and Me

"Maybe I'm not but you're all I got left to believe in Don't give up on me I'm about to come alive And I know that it's been hard And it's been a long time coming Don't give up on me I'm about to come alive" -Train, I'm About To Come Alive

"Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you baby" -Alicia Keys, If I Ain't Got You

"And all the perfect words they seem so wrong, She's gone You wish that you could learn to see, The door is closed and you wish you could be Alone with you, alone with me What can I do, I cannot breathe My heart is torn, for all to see Alone with you, alone with me." -The All-American Rejects, One More Sad Song

"Do you believe in magic? In a young girls heart How the music can free her whenever it starts And it's magic if the music is groovy It makes you feel happy like an old time movie" -Aly and AJ, Do You Believe In Magic

"He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do." -Taylor Swift, Teardrops on My Guitar

"there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live" -Five for Fighting, 100 Years

"she laid her heart and soul right in your hands And you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans She never even knew she had a choice and that's what happens When the only voice she hears is telling her she can't You stupid boy" -Keith Urban, Stupid Boy

"I'd rather be anything but ordinary please" -Avril Lavigne, Anything But Ordinary

"Closing timeYou don't have to go home but you can't stay here ... Closing time Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" -Closing Time, Semisonic

"I want a little something more Don't want the middle or the one before I don't desire a complicated past I want a love that will last Say that you love Say im the one Don't kiss and hug me and then try to run I don't do drama My tears don't fall fast I want a love that will last" -Renee Olstead, A Love That Will Last

"Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day The camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day" -Daniel Powter, Bad Day

So there are just a few. There are so many more! I have so many favorite songs! I would love to post them all here, but that would take forever and be WAY too long. :D I really liked this idea, it was really fun to look at the lyrics to these songs. Hope you like it!

Random Ramblings

Hola. I've been having an off... month, I guess. But for some reason right now I just feel really happy. I'm not sure why, exactly, but I feel happy. It's a nice feeling, and I can't get the smile off of my face, not that I want it gone or anything. :D
I haven't done much work lately, homework or otherwise. I decided to do some today. I think that's a good idea.
Nobody is home, I'm here alone. And I like it. It's fun to have the house all to myself. I've got my music turned up nice and loud, and it just feels good. Strange, huh? I like it. :D
Well, I really need to finish up a bunch of stuff. I have some people I want to email ,*cough*Spencer and Nathan*cough* ;) and I need to clean my room and do a bunch of homework. :D

Have a fantabulous night, everyone.

Sometimes, when you love something/one... you give up what you want for what's best for them.

Best Day of My Life!

Wow. Sweethearts was just... amazing. I swear, yesterday was probably the best day of my life. I can't even begin to explain how great it was. :D It was just... oh man. :D The funny thing is, it started out ALL wrong. I won't lie to you, I stressed about it all week. I was worried because my date (Scott) isn't from Taylorsville, and he doesn't really know anyone here. All week I was worried that he would have a horrible time, or that he wouldn't show at all. It wasn't the best of weeks anyway, and this worried just increased the all over crappiness. At about 9 yesterday he texts me to tell me that he's going to be about an hour late. Which is really no biggie, because I had told him to be here a half an hour earlier than he needed to be, anyway. But the fear of him blowing me off increased with this text. He finally got here, and I breathed a major sigh of relief.
First we went to pick up Autumn, then we ventured to Marissa's house for lunch and let me tell you, Scott knows how to make a pizza!!! Each couple made their own pizza, I basically let Scott put whatever he wanted on ours. I'm not picky. It was an awesome pizza. Very yummy.
Our original plan for our day date was to go to the Boondocks and play miniature golf and laser tag; but because of the lateness (and Thatcher's basketball game), we had to move to plan B. We went to Hollywood Connections instead. Thatcher and Wilenys decided they didn't have time before the game, so they went home and the rest of us went to Hollywood Connections. Autumn, Jon, Scott, and I got there before Marissa and Jared, so we decided to buy tickets while we were waiting. We decided on laser tag, and we wandered around like idiots for about 10 minutes trying to figure out where the laser tag was. When we finally found it, we were told that the next available game was at 3:40. Yeah, that'll work. Not. We were now on plan C. So mini golf it was. Marissa and Jared finally got there, we paid for our mini golf tickets, and proceeded to stand in line for probably another 10 or 15 minutes before we actually were able to start our game of golf. I was kind of worried that Scott wouldn't like my friends, but he seemed to be getting along with everyone perfectly. He didn't care that we teased him, in fact, he teased back. He even laughed at all of Thatcher's weird jokes. We finally got to play, but it was taking forever. I was starting to get worried. It was after 3, and I had told Sarah that I would be at her house BY 4 so she could do my hair. PLUS, my uncle was taking our pictures and West Jordan Park at 5. We were cutting it close! Despite the time issue, we all had a ton of fun. We made fun of each other, cuz none of us were really that good. We skipped ahead of a couple of people in front of us, because it was getting really late! We left Hollywood Connections at about 5 to 4. Scott went with Jared to his house to get ready, and I booked it over to Sarah's.
You should all be proud of me. I got ready in less than an hour. That's hair, make-up, dress, and jewelry. All in less than an hour. Heck yes, I'm good.
Too bad we were still almost an hour late to pictures. It's a good thing that my uncle loves me.
We took our pictures at West Jordan Park. You know, the one with the big wooden castle. It was amazing. We got pictures on the swings, the slides, the tire swing, and in the castle. We did both group and single shots. I hope they turn out well. :D I'm sure they will. It was pretty funny, tho. These 3 little girls were following us around. Watching us, and playing with us.
After pictures, we came back to my house. My dad made dinner for us, and it was delicious! After dinner we sat around and talked for awhile. It was so much fun! I laughed so hard. Actually, everyone laughed. :D
We went to the dance around 8:30. I think that was the best dance I've ever been to, region dances included. The music was pretty good, I don't think there was a song I really objected to. It ended at 10, and the cops herded us out of the school. But seriously, when there's about 500 people trying to cram through one door, they kind of need to chill. We had decided on Arctic Circle, but it was closed. Weird, huh? I didn't know Arctic Circle closed so early. We grabbed some ice cream from Albertsons and went back to my house and played Wii. Everyone had to leave around 11, because my dad left again today and needed to get to bed.
I was so worried that Scott wouldn't have a good time, or that he wouldn't come at all. I'm so glad he came, I'm glad I asked him, and I'm glad he had a good time. Yesterday seriously was the best day of my life. And I didn't even tell you everything! I left out a lot of details, some because they weren't necessarily important, some because I just wanted to keep it to myself. Oh wow, it was a great day. :D
Now that I've bored you all.... ;)
Have a wonderful night.

Trippy

Ugh. I feel yucky. Something trippy is going on in my stomach, and my head just might explode. I came home early from school today. I guess I looked as good as I felt, cuz I had about 20 people ask me if I was ok. At lunch today, Kim and I were talking. All at once I got dizzy and hot. She took one look at me and kicked Alan out of his chair so I could sit down. It was a good thing, too. I was pretty close to passing out. I can't afford to be sick this weekend. There's way too much going on. I'm pretty sure this is a one day thing, tho. Hopefully it doesn't throw off my weekend. Annyway, there's my post for the day. See ya'll later.

Estoy Loca Por Ti

Happy Hearts Day.

Yup, it's finally Valentines day again. The day that every teenage girl without a boyfriend hates. Guess what. No boyfriend here. However, my inner hopeless romantic will not allow me to completely hate a day that celebrates love. However, if you don't want to celebrate V-day, you can celebrate Singles Awareness Day. But that's just SAD. lol.

Valentines day is sort of like a chick flick, especially for girls. All girls love a good chick flick, but if you ever watch a chick flick with a girl, you will notice that afterwards all they can say is how much they hate chick flicks in general. Why do girls watch chick flicks if they hate them? Well, girls don't necessarily hate chick flicks. Girls hate that their lives aren't like the lives of the girls in the chick flicks. We don't always get the guy, and if we do get the guy, he's not perfect like the guy in the movie. Sometimes girls feel worse about themselves after viewing the chick flick. But we still love them. Just like we still love Valentines day. Even if we deny it. Even if we profess to hate it, we still love it. Cuz we're saps. Cuz we're hopeless romantics.

Annyway, I better run.
Oh yeah, the title of this post means: I'm crazy for you. Appropriate, huh?
;)

Pointless

Do you ever find yourself just doing something, and you wonder why in the world you're doing it? It's some pointless little thing that you don't even like doing, you get nothing out of it, and it's basically a waste of time? Yeah, I was just doing that. I'm sitting here, basically just chillin'. Checking some stuff out online, and I wonder: why am I even on the computer? I'm not having fun, I'm not talking to anyone, I'm not doing homework. So what's the point of me sitting here being bored? There's so much I still need to accomplish tonight, and I haven't done anything in the past half an hour because I've been on the computer. And I find that I enjoy being on the computer more when every thing else that I have to do is completed. I have homework, work, and plenty of other things to take care of. Yet, here I am. Typing away. I don't even have music playing. So right now, I'm pointless. I'm gonna go fix that.
I'm out.

10 Things I Hate About You

This is a good movie, even though it is a bit crude. It's a chick flick, and I can't resist chick flicks. Here's my favorite part, it's kinda been my theme lately:

I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick — it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh — even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it that you're not around and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you — not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Well, that's it for now.
*corky*

Not Even Good

Soo... yeah. I didn't do my homework last night. Or the night before. Or the night before. Nice, huh? Getting behind so soon after the new term starts. I decided today that I was gonna kick school in the butt and get caught up. But my doctor's appointment screwed that up. So I came home and did nothing, again. I tried to clean my room, and I did make SOME headway, but it's still not done. I hate getting behind, but I hate working. I hate how much homework I get. It totally is not even good. Not at all.

Today I decided that I actually like Harward. I just don't like his homework. He's super nice and really willing to help us as long as we just ask. I really wanted to get a lot done tonight, but it's already 8:45 and I haven't done anything. Maybe I'll just stay up late and get it all done. Then I'll probably be cranky tomorrow morning. But at least I'll feel good tonight... yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

So I'm gonna get goin' on that.

Oh yeah, one more thing. There's an "I Hate Courtney" Club at school. They're currently taking applications. You should check it out. ;)
I'm out.
*corky*

Unnnnh

You know when you first wake up and you're no where near coherent and the only thing you can manage to say is "Uhnnnnh..."? Yeah, that's how I am right now. It's actually pretty fun. I'm just warm and sleepy. I feel kinda bad tho, cuz I'm talking to people and they probably think I'm being rude. I promise I'm not, I'm just drowsy.

You know what's a good song? Dream Big by Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband. It's awesome.

Oh, we're going to my grandma's house now. So I'll see ya'll later.
*corky*

Sick of Sad

Ugh. Alright, here we go.

Everyone is allowed to have their emotions. That's totally true. And I think it's good to feel a variety of things. BUT I hate it when my friends are sad. Seriously. And I feel like I have to fix it. I feel like I have to make it better. When someone is sad or angry, my first thought is "Did I do something?" My second thought: "What can I do to make it better?" And when the answer to the second question is no, it KILLS me. I hate not being able to fix things. I'm a fixer. I can't help it. My dad's a fixer. I guess I learned it from him. I hate knowing that anyone is sad or hurt (physically, emotionally, mentally) and that there's nothing I can do to make it better. I guess that's one reason I want to be a doctor: I can fix people, at least physically. Even if I don't know them, or their family, or what they did yesterday, I would be able to help them. (Was that a comma splice? Oh well.)
I'm beginning to learn that, most of the time, I can't fix it. Whatever IT is. And you know what? It doesn't feel good to figure this out. It seems that lately, when one of my friends is having a bad day, or feeling sad, there's nothing-ABSOLUTELY NOTHING- that I can do. And it hurts. So I've started to avoid people when I know they're sad. Horrible, huh? Doing that completely goes against every instinct and nature I have. Because when I'm around someone, and they're sad, especially if I can't fix it....well, it makes me sad. And I hate being sad. So I have to choose between being with someone and being sad, or being without them. And that's a hard choice. Either way, I'm not as happy as I could be. I hate not being happy. I try my hardest to stay happy, and I like it that way. Even when I have a crappy day, I still try to find at least one thing to smile about. And I've gotten pretty good at doing this. But when I'm sitting next to someone, and they're sad, and I can't fix it... it's hard to find anything to smile about. (I have a feeling there are a bunch of comma splices in this post. Curse you, Harward.)
I don't know. This probably isn't making any sense... :S

I just know that... Well, I'm sick of people being sad. I'm sick of not being able to make people happy. I'm sick of people being sad because of me or something I said or did. I'm sick of not being able to laugh and smile because people are sad. It's stupid. I'm a happy robot, and I like it the way I am. But it's becoming increasingly harder to stay a happy robot when everyone around me is sad.

Annnnnnnyway, on that happy note. ;) I'm outta here.
*corky*

EOT

End Of Term. I'm way behind, so I probably won't be blogging much in the next few days.

I don't know if I'm going to blog much for the next little while, anyway. I think I'm just going to take a break. I really have nothing to write about. And there are like, 2 people even reading.

.....yeah.

So I'm out, for now and for a awhile after.

Epic

Today is the 4th day of 2007. Now, I could do a simple review or 2006. Or I could be a loser and completely follow Nick (Great job, Nick, btw. That was an awesome post.). OR I could be Courtney, and come up with something completely new. So I decided to do that. Technically, it's still a review of 2006, BUT instead of hearing how I feel now about something that happened in March, you can hear about how the me in March feels about that thing that happened. Does that make sense? So basically, here's what's goin' down. I'll go month by month, describing an event taking place in each month, AND I'll include a quote from my journal, talking about that specific event. So even though I might feel differently now about something that happened a few months ago than I did when it first happened, you're going to hear how I felt then. :D Just know, most of the things I'll write about aren't huge events. They're little nights watching movies with my friends, or at dances, or things like that. They may mean nothing to anyone but me. But I had fun, and they do mean something to me. So read on. Ladies and gentlemen: This is going to be Epic.
Let's start at the beginning, shall we?

January:
I celebrated the New Year with Tania, Valerie, Thatcher, and Kyle at First Night for Youth at the Conference Center. It was AMAZING. You have no idea. Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband was awesome. Kelly Duhan was as entertaining as ever. It was a wonderful night, we had dinner at my house, although because Thatcher was late (as always!) he was rather rushed in eating. Then we took Trax downtown. Afterwards we returned to my house to play Catch Phrase, and pop some poppers at midnight.
On January 26, I wrote:
New Years Eve we went to the First Night for the Youth at the Conference Center. I took Valerie, Tania, Kyle and Thatcher. It was a lot of fun even though we missed the region dance.

February:
The region dance in February was awesome.
On February 19, I wrote:
Last night was the region dance. It was a lot of fun. A little bit into the dance, we (meaning me, Stuart, Seth, and Peter) decided to go outside. It was snowing and there was a ton of snow on the ground. The ground was cold and wet, so of course I went out barefoot. Seth and Peter both freaked out. I was laughing and teasing them. I was perfectly fine. A little chilly ;), but fine. I even walked through the mounds of snow, with snow up past my ankles. I ignored the protests of all of my friends. Finally, they made me go back inside.

The funny thing about that, is that there were little puddles around my feet for the next 15 minutes until all of the snow melted off my feet and legs. ;)
Then February 28 was my birthday! I turned 16, and had an awesome birthday party. This deserves to be in here, because it was a big deal to me. I don't know if anyone else cared, but I had fun!

*Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Today has been the best birthday ever! On Friday I had my birthday party. Too much fun... Thatcher got his coat stuck in the Tanner's tree. Crazy kid."

March:
In March, Taylorsville City Youth Council went to Utah State for a few days for a leadership conference. I made a bunch of new friends, and had a blast.

I just had a great week! I went to USU Youth Council Conference. I made some amazing friends! Hannah, Isabelle, Nate and Joel. We had such a great time. And they're from River Heights! They know grandma and grandpa! So the most amazing thing about this is that I'll get to see them again! It was really sad when we left today. I got cell phone numbers and everything, so it's going to be so great!

And I have seen them since! It's amazing, I love making new friends!

April:
The band, orchestra, and choir went on tour. It was a lonely week.

The past few days have been good, but strange. The band, orchestra, and choir went on tour. School has been so empty. Usually there are about 20 people around my locker. On Wednesday-Friday there were 2. Everyone was gone. Stuart, Becca, Melissa, Peter, Kenny, Sarah, Kyle. There were some people still at school, like Thatcher, James, Levi, Valerie, Tania, and Hope. And it was fun to spend more time with them, but there were a ton of people gone. I've talked to Melissa a lot while she's been gone They went to the zoo and the beach and Sea World. I talked to Kenny yesterday. It was a lot of fun.

I also started hanging out with Jaron and Alan more. And now they're my best friends!

I've been hangin out with Jaron and Alan a lot lately, too. They're so funny! They make me laugh so hard! "I'm unarmed!" Hahahaha!
On April 9, I wrote:
Jaron and I... decided to make up our own country. It's called Cjaron. It's awesome! We even have our own "language." It's so cool! ... Jessica and I decided we're gonna double w/ Jaron and Alan. We're gonna go bowling. Jaron says he'll teach me, which is good cuz I can't bowl!

May:
I didn't write anything in my journal during May. I'm sure whatever I was doing, it was great fun!

June:
Girls camp. Ugh. If you know me, you know I am NOT a camper. We'll leave it at that. ;)
On June 7, I wrote:
Kill me now. I'm in a van with 12 other girls. Most of them are beehives, and VERY loud. Lynsey won't shut up! She's singing and gossiping and annoying me. ... I swear, someone is going to end up dead before we get to camp. Either me or someone else! And it'll be my fault!

Now you see that I have little patience when I'm cramped up in a van with 12 12 year olds who are singing Rascal Flatts songs at the top of their lungs. And it's probably not a good idea to wake my up at 5 AM during the summer, either. ;)

On June 8, I wrote:
Alone at last. I don't get much quiet at girls camp. ... All I know now is that I'm very cold.

It rained, snowed, hailed, and slushed. That's right. Slushed. I gained about 40 pounds and 2 inches in height from the mud that stuck to the bottom of my shoes. It was... an experience.

July:
Alan was in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Murray Park. I went to see it, talk about fun.
On July 27, I wrote:
Wow. Today was great. What a turn around. It started out crappy, but ended up great. This morning I told myself that I was gonna have a good day, and I meant it... until my mom told me that I wasn't going to Alan's play. I was so angry. I turned up my music, really really loud, and stayed in my room. I didn't want to talk to my mom, and it was easy not to, since she was doing yard work all morning. At 10 I went to summer seminary... When Alan got there he asked if I was going to the play tonight. I didn't know what to say, so I explained why my parents didn't want me to go (Murray park isn't the best place to be alone at night..especially for a teenage girl). And of course, Alan had a solution. "You could go with my mom. She's going tonight... I might even have a free ticket for you." Alan was awesome.

Summer seminary rocked! On the last day, we had a barbecue. It was a ton of fun!
On July 27, I wrote:
Seminary was great today! It was a barbecue, so we just got to mess around. I hung out with Alan, Jaron, and Silvia. Alan left at noon, and Jaron took me and Silvia to EJH. No one was there, so we went to McDonalds. From there, Jaron went home, and I took Silvia home.

August:
I went to Utah Business Week at Utah State. At first, I didn't want to be there. I missed my friends. But by the end of the week, I didn't want to leave!
On August 1, I wrote:
Maili is my best friend here. We've been sharing food and the funny thing is, our attitudes are a lot alike. We get annoyed at the same things, we make fun of the same things. It's good. Kris, Tyler, and Brenton are my other good friends, although I'm closer to Kris and Tyler. They're so funny. The food here sucks, and both me and Maili have family near, so we've been having our family bring us good food.

On August 2, I wrote:
My room mate went home, so Maili moved in! Yay! lol. There was a dance tonight. It was so much fun! I LOVE dancing. I met this kid named Sam. He reminds me of my friends at home.

On August 3, I wrote:
Oh, wow. Today has been the best so far. Mainly just this afternoon. This morning was filled with boring speakers as usual. This afternoon Maili and I came in to nap for lunch again. I actually got to sleep. Yay. We were late for our company meeting...again. We thought Scott would be mad, but he wasn't. I learned a new game today. It's called "Baby If You Love Me..." SO FUN! I HAVE to teach everyone at home.

September:
The dreaded school begins. The dreaded Junior year.

On September 28, I wrote:
I know, I know. It's 7:10 and I'm already at school. I've been here for 40 minutes. Isn't that insane? Early morning seminary. I love it, but I do miss some things. Like sitting in front of my locker and talking before school.

Early morning seminary is going to be the death of me. I love it, I really do. But it's getting so hard! And like the quitter that I am, I'm switching into seminary during 1B. It'll be better for me.

October:
My little sister had a birthday in October. Kortney and Jaron came over, we messed around with the karaoke machine, and basically had a good time. After Jaron left, Kort slept over. We went through our old journals, and ended up writing for awhile.
On October 6, I wrote:
Hey! I'm sitting here with Kortney. :D We're having fun.

Descriptive, huh? ;) Unfortunately, I didn't write any more about what we did that night, or the next day. You'll just have to trust me. We were having fun. :D

I also asked Alan to Sadies
On October 16, I wrote:
I asked Alan to Sadies last night. I put an alarm clock set for 3:52 under his bed with a poster that said "Wake up! Who knew? It's me, It's you. Get a Clue! Someone wants to go to Sadies with you!"

November:
Sadies! And getting Answered!
On November 20, I wrote:
He trashed my room. Glitter and streamers and balloons everywhere. I had to pop the balloons to see if he said yes or no. But Alan wasn't very sneaky. I totally knew that it was coming.

If you really wanna know about the rest of it, you can read my post on getting answered. And my post for Sadies, for that matter. ;)

On November 21, I wrote:
So yeah, Sadies really wasn't too bad. And after we left the dance, I was mad but I did have fun. I think overall, it's a good memory. I really can't wait for the pictures. I'm super excited for them.

And Thanksgiving, of course!
On November 27, I wrote:
Gotta love Thanksgiving. Lots of food. No school. Sweetness.

December:
I didn't write in December, either. :S Darn. Oh well, I went on a bunch of dates downtown to see the Christmas lights. Christmas break was amazingly fun, and amazingly short. I spent a ton of time with Alan and Jaron, and just had a great time. Life is great!

So there's my review of the year. It was a great year, and I'm totally psyched for the new one. :D It's going to be great, I know it! Thanks to everyone for being my friends. If I didn't mention you up there ^ it's not cuz I didn't want to. It's just cuz, come on, it's my journal. I'd prefer it if my WHOLE journal wasn't posted on the internet. ;) I just picked stuff that wasn't too personal. Anyway, I love ya all. You're all amazing. And I can't wait to hang out more in '07.
