~~Even though I may someday wish that I had never gotten a blog~~

So, maybe I *do* like having my say in the matter and keeping others updated about my life.

But I'm moving my blog so I can start over. This blog will still be here, but I just won't post on it.
If you want to look back on these old posts, or play the playlist, the address will be:
18thwannabe2.blogspot.com

Just to keep things convenient, I'll keep the 18thwannabe address (no 2) for my new blog so you won't have to change all your links and bookmarks.

By the way, be prepared for some GORGEOUS photography on the new blog!

Why blogging isn't for me

2009-07-10T11:16:00.001-07:00

I think this is maybe my fifth attempt at keeping a blog.
I can't remember to post, so I think I'm going to just give up.

It was nice while it lasted, though! :)

-- Ethan

By the way, I WILL keep updating the playlist, so if you like the music, you can still load it up.

Than & Lina's

2009-06-10T12:07:00.000-07:00

I went to visit Nathaniel and Lina over the first week of summer, and it was a blast.

FUN!!

We played frisbee-golf, Heroes (computer game), tennis, went biking, and went to a softball game. We even watched The Great Escape and The Fugitive.

It was a blast, thanks guys :-)
But I'm glad to be back too.

Tomorrow I'm going to see Kelly Clarkson in concert at UVU! I know she sounds like a girly artist to see, but I like her music and I think she has talent. Plus, I've never been to a concert before so this should be fun.

I FINALLY finished my Harry Potter logo, after I got Photoshop back on my dad's computer (after almost a year!) last night!! Yay! I think it turned out really well, although maybe a little too blue (click to see larger/higher quality):

And here's a new studio portrait of me. I think it turned out nice, but I used Photoshop to remove a tiny zit and minimize the bags under my eyes. I'm really pleased with my work :-D

An experiment?

2009-05-14T19:13:00.000-07:00

Okay, here's the deal.

I want you to click this link.

When it says column one, type in http://www.google.com/
When it says column two, type in http://www.yahoo.com/

Just a weird little thing, tell me what results you got in the comments and if you like my mischeif ;) If you feel like some more weirdness, drag the bar in the middle to the left or right once the page loads...

P.S. I added this one song from Ratatouille on the playlist, because I like it :)
EDIT: No I didn't, because it isn't working... Grr...

Why I should loose some weight, seriously

2009-05-11T13:43:00.000-07:00

So, the other day I was thinking about just how fat I am... No, just joking ahhahahahahaha!!!

Mom would be very unhappy if I started eating less because she wants me eating more.

That weird chew slower thing from Dr. Bridell really works. I am officially becoming more surprised...

My Weird Food Experiment

2009-05-05T14:31:00.000-07:00

So, I bet you've heard of some kind of miraculous diet book by a person named Dr. Bridell.

Well I read part of it, and it works. If you take tinier bites of things and chew twice as slow, you'll end up half as hungry!

And I posted something nasty that I found out wasn't exactly true about my brother yesterday, although the damage is still done, I deleted it (Thanks for your understanding comment though Lina!)

-- Ethan

P.S. I like pizza!!

So many assignments. So little time.

2009-04-28T14:47:00.000-07:00

I'm dead serious. This isn't because of my procrastination or not getting the work done in school.

I have a super final in Health on the whole human body, and I have to memorize 206+ bones, some muscles, the order of your teeth, psychological disorders, anger management, blood cell makeup, and the body's immune system.

I have a final for History on the Civil War/the war of northern aggression/the war of southern discrepancy. We were told ahead of time that it would be a monster test, and I really need an A on the test because I've never got anything less in that class. I have to know a lot about Sherman's march to the sea, the battle of Gettysburg and Fredericksburg, not to mention the Lincoln assassination at For's Theatre during the play My American Cousin.

Last, by in no way the least, I have about 7 pages of math homework. To review before the state core test, my teacher is giving us old chapter tests from earlier in the year, usually 3 at a time, to take home as homework, and it's killing me.

Oh wait. Did I mention I'm having core testing in Science and English too, and I have to be able to make an improved score (less than 10:00) on running a mile in PE.

On top of it all is choir, where we are all preparing vigorously for the final concert. This is too much. I am SO OVERWHELMED. Everything is just over my head right now.

But I guess I should get off Blogger now and start on all that work due tomorrow if I want to finish any of it (any tips for multitasking in the comments would be appreciated!!)

-- Ethan

I won!!!

2009-04-25T08:16:00.000-07:00

No, I lied. I didn't win an award -- I wish.

But still, that award is pretty nice lookin'! I didn't make it myself, just found it on some random web page talking about design concepts that don't end up being used for stuff. Kinda sad, I think it looks amazing!

-- Ethan

Wish I was bored by spring break again

2009-04-20T17:18:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I laugh at how dumb I sound on this blog. Other times, I laugh at how much dumber stupid celebrities are than I am and how I'm just funny for laughing at them that way.

:)

Being bored over spring break

2009-04-14T11:27:00.000-07:00

I expected that I would be entertained and having the time of my life every living minute of spring break, but honestly, I find myself sitting here and being bored with nothing to do. Am I the only one?

I figure spring break is going to be similar for everyone else, but I still feel like everyone is having a better time than I am...

"Knowing" and the Italian food that wouldn't die

2009-04-11T21:11:00.000-07:00

Knowing was a dumb movie. Really, it was just a souped up horror movie and it wasn't anything like what I thought it would be like. Not a drama movie, a HORROR movie. There is a difference!!

I am no longer allowing myself to eat at Italian restaurants (*cough*Carrabba's*cough*) because I get too full too fast. Sigh.

Happy Easter!

-- Ethan

Happy Spring Break!!!

2009-04-10T17:22:00.000-07:00

I feel so happy right now :D

Isn't this sad??

Have fun everyone!

The math homework that wouldn't die

2009-04-08T15:52:00.000-07:00

Four assignments. No time.

So boring.

GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other matters, have some fail :)

-- Ethan

The Laptop Hunters

2009-04-07T15:02:00.000-07:00

I wish they would pick me to do it :(

I hate corn allergies, and I wish spring was here. Minus the allergies.

-- Ethan

Another month without an update

2009-04-06T19:44:00.000-07:00

Because March was long, boring, and kind of depressing. I'm glad I got it over with *sigh* :(

I'm really struggling with grades this year -- I guess I was expecting 8th grade to be easier than 7th or something, I don't know, but it's really been hitting me hard. I just feel like I give six hours of my life to waste every day at school -- my English teacher is just a mean old grump in general, my math teacher gives too much homework, and the only classes I look forward to are choir and history. Not that all the other classes are horrible, just a waste of time. For instance, I always get straight A's in science, just because I'm naturally good at it -- I understand the concepts, and usually get my work done on time.
But it bugs me all the same, and I'm just freaked out be how obsessively perfect some people are. Not that being perfect is a bad thing, but take my cousin Samuel for instance. I don't get to see him much, and that's too bad -- he's really a funny person, and very bright. According to my aunt Sylwia, he always does his homework and chores and everything on time without prompting. How do these people do it? Am I just not motivated enough? I don't think my core motivation is material reward; that's a fairly selfish thing to ask for treats and/or money in exchange for good grades. I just think I lack the mental motivation to do it -- and I'm sure the main problem is my own attitude, but I just can't think of how to change it. I don't FEEL that the work is necessary, so I don't feel compelled to do it. My experience with school has always been much like this, but never as troublesome as this year has been. I'm starting to think that some of the problem lies in having different teachers for everything. This will never go away, but I just wish that it could be somewhat better. The WORST is when teachers all give you big assignments due on the same day. :(

I wish school would just go away sometimes, because it seems to be the center of all my problems, although I'm sure it really isn't. But you do have to admit, school is a good place for pointing blame -- people generally sympathize and the school can't do much about it. *sigh*

Spring break had better bring relief. I hope it does, although the stress of going on a trip to Arches National Park and staying at a hotel overnight might just be the tipping point. Everything is so overwhelming, and I bet spring break would be a whole lot better if everything in my life slowed down. My guess is that the most stress will be on parents, because they aren't yet ready to have all their kids home at one time for a week. Things just don't work that way, and probably didn't until maybe the '30s or sometime when a spring break from school and such was introduced. All the same I'm awaiting the true arrival of spring, which I have giving three qualifications: 1, it must be consistently 60 degress or higher outside for 12 days. 2, the birds must be chirping. Last, 3, I can't see snow anywhere within walking distance or that is close enough that other people complain to me about it.

Sheesh, people -- spring should have been here two weeks ago. It's about time, maybe some nice trees and flowers will come with it. It was pleasantly warm today, but the greenery in my neighborhood is at zilch, nada, pip!

*sigh* I haven't been a very good person to people lately, and I'm sorry about that. Even my blog posts are selfish, and centered around me, so I'll try to talk about someone else. For instance, Judy is in the hospital for gallbladder complications. I really feel sorry for her, that can't be fun :( Maybe she'll be out soon. I sure hope she will, our house really feels empty when she doesn't come by to visit, and it's very nice of her to do so, even when she has a headache or is really really tired. Tilly misses you too, Judy!!

In closing, my neck hurts, my brain hurts, my schoolwork hurts, and my being a stupdily confusingly confused doughheaded moronic two-faced silly overly happy procrastinating dweebish hobo hurts. And it's time for you to go away now. Not to be mean (another thing I have to work on) but I can't type any more, I have to get back to feeling like blah and procrastinating homework :)

Updates

2009-03-14T08:46:00.000-07:00

So, I saw "Taken" on Monday.

Please don't see it. It's violent, and needlessly horrific. Should be rated R.

But, I also got to see UHF for the first time yesterday.

I don't know if I want to continue laughing or roll over to try to stop!!!

Photoshop Logo Practice, No School, and My Mom's Birthday!

2009-03-08T15:19:00.000-07:00

How do they look? I'm just practicing, so they aren't that great -- the Google one looks a lot better than the Harry Potter one in my opinion. I tried to use Adobe Illustrator on the Harry Potter one, but they have no bevel and emboss filter for the text, so I just stuck with converting the vector lines to pixels at a high resolution in Photosop. :)

In other news, there's no school tomorrow (which I'm ECSTATIC about) and my mom's birthday is on Tuesday, so we get to go see a kids play. Blech.

Happy sunday all!

My Fuzzy Jacket, ωєιя∂ ∂яєαмѕ, and Annoying Japanese Girls

2009-03-05T16:01:00.000-08:00

First of all, I am NOT racist!! Or sexist!! I'll get to the Japanese girl thing in a minute...

Meet my new jacket -- fuzzy, comfortable, and cozy. It's probably the awesomest piece of clothing I've ever owned! It's just... perfect in every way (NOT like Mary Poppins *shudder*) I wear it everyday -- it's almost as cuddly as Tilly!! ^_^

I got it at Old Navy. So go there and get one yourself because let me tell you... They're awesome!

In the name of weirdness, first I had a dream that HomestarRunner.com had been purchased by Disney, and that all the toons now advertised Disney products. Yuck!!

Next, I dreamed that the librarians at my school were kidnapping me and I was stranded in a strange fortress of sand out in the middle of nowhere. I was BEGGING them to let me use the computers to contact someone, but they wouldn't let me, the cruel people that they are. They were too busy letting other students play Halo and World of Warcraft on them.

About the annoying japanese girls... Your ears should be hurting a-right-about NOW!

I still hate math homework. A LOT.

The Woes, Thinkings, and Happenings of Yours Truly Over the Last Four Months...

2009-03-01T11:35:00.001-08:00

*sigh

I'm really depressed at how much I'm forgetting to post on this blog -- four whole months of my life I will never be able to look back on and laugh at just how stupid/funny I was. It's going to be pretty hard to catch all you guys up, but I'll just have to try my best! *Deep breath*

Firstly, I feel like since I usually update/change my blog theme about one a month, I'll have to change frequently over the next week to make up for it -- I'll start now. How do you like it? (Drop me a comment, I actually read them and usually reply)

My life has been so busy lately! Yesterday we went to African American History Children's Fair down at BYU. I'm sorry, but I just have to say I was TOTALLY bored -- nothing exciting for me to do. Basically, there was a little stand talking about Barack Obama for kids to go see, some fishing pole games, and stale popcorn. Towards the end, there was a group that performed a nice spiritual (you know, not like REAL spiritual, just like the baptist churchy ones). So I really ended up spending 3.5 out of the FOUR HOURS that we spent there just wandering around campus annoying the college students. One thing that I did get to do that was really fun for me was to go to the University computer store. I was like a kid in a candy shop -- so much to see!! One of the things that I noticed was that Apple had finally updated their line of notebooks. Wait for it -- the good part: They took the button out of the trackpad. And their MacBook now has a metal look to it. I even got to play around with one!

Also, today I got to register online for the 9th grade. Whoopedi doo. I signed up for: Seminary, Literature, Honors English 9, Geometry, Foods 1, Computer Technology, and Men's Audition Choir (I probably honestly would not have taken it again if the teacher hadn't asked me to when I sang Crush for my voice check.) I will probably end up dropping Literature because I want to be a Teacher's Assistant for a guy in my ward who's a math teacher...

In other un-school related news, I retook the color code test AND the Myers-Briggs. Big surprise, I got the same as I've always gotten on them both: I'm a White INFP. Did I mention how much I hate math homework yet? I went from a B- to a D+ in Algebra, and it doesn't feel good -- I'll just have to work harder I guess!

I thought long and hard about doing ONE LAST post of 2008 on New Year's Eve, about 2 minutes before midnight, but decided that I was much too lazy, although I now think it would have been massively cool if I had. My back hurts right now, I've been starting to have headaches every couple of days.

Music Widget song order change -- also, new poll up, please do it!!!!

-- Eth

EDIT: No new poll, stupid Blogger is having SERIOUS problems ;-(

Blah

2008-11-15T13:02:00.000-08:00

So, I'm updating my blog -- again. Yay! :)

First of all, I added Than/Lina and Sylwia's blogs to my sidebar >>>>>>>>>>> So, go read them.

Nextly, I have a really runny nose. I think November the month is finally delivering on November the sickness. Unfortunately, unless I get anything short of Pneumonia, I can't afford to miss anymore school. And that's pretty much it for this post -- other than this:

ïṡṉ'τ τhατ јυṡτ τhε сυτεṡτ ρυρρÿ ÿøυ εṿεɾ ṡαώ?!!! :D

It's a Maltipoo -- a cross between a Maltese and a Poodle. They're hypoallergenic, so I'm not even allergic either! I want one for Christmas, although I know that rationally I won't get one...

Oh, and Sylwia, yes I have read most of the reccomendations and they were great. I have yet to read Bloody Jack though, being so busy and all.

Comment, do the poll, new post and poll tomorrow!

Post

2008-11-13T16:26:00.000-08:00

DUN DUN DUN!!!!

Yeah, I know. You guys had all thought I gave up on this blog.

Well, surprise surprise! I'm back now. Speaking of which, have an lolcat! ^^^^^^^^^^^^

SO how have things been without me? Boring? Becca hasn't updated HER blog in a while either, I'll have to bug her about it some more. :) Oh yeah, I'm being "babysat" by Heather and Brent while my parents are in the Bahamas. Lucky them; the Bahamas right now sound great -- stellar, even -- compared to *shudder shudder* Junior High School.

Just today, I had a kid call me a freak and a science nerd (I hate science). And my English teacher decided that she wanted to make us all read hard books, so I'm reading Charles Dickens -- Great Expectations. It's well-written, but definitely a slow read. Regardless of how smart you are and how fast you read, you MUST read it slow, or I guarantee it will make about as much sense as Felix secretly running around as Paris Hilton whilst raising a pig farm in mongolia. I know, scary, huh?!

Also, I've decided that I dislike school lunches, so we'll see what happens but I don't guarantee anything.

Make sure to COMMENT and please do the Poll -- please.

BFN, :)

Funny memory

2008-09-23T16:49:00.000-07:00

I found this on OurStory.com, on my sister's story so I though I'd post it here. Also, I might change the music widget down there, which would be a relief.

Genevieve's first sentence - 1/1/2006

by Genevieve Hardman

One day Genevieve was potty training. After one successful trip to the bathroom she said her first significantly long sentence:

"My tummy feels better when the poop gets out."

Very profound for a two year old.

Sunday

2008-09-21T18:23:00.000-07:00

was really fun. I got to visit the Vincent's, and have fun, a be a teacher (literally: 14!)

Poll results are in, and the answer was 9) 1, 2, and 7!

Thanks for voting, new poll next time.

It's OFFICIAL: Phone, Gluten, and Gallblader?

2008-09-18T17:44:00.000-07:00

3 Officials: 1st, I am getting a phone.

Gluten update: I did a test that came out negative for gluten intolerance, but then we found out the test might not be accurate because thanks to a doctor's advice I hadn't had any gluten in my system for days. I may have to retake it whilst eating gluten. Which means I will be in pain in multiple ways.

Gallbladder: Got my blood drawn again, this time to test if I have a gallbladder malfunction.

That's enough for now. :)

- Ethan

Still sick and school-annoyed

2008-09-16T14:04:00.000-07:00

Yep, I'm STILL sick. I had to stay home from school today again, even though I was planning on going. I HAVE to go to school tomorrow though, no matter what, because I can't afford to miss any more. :(

I did two tests today: a blood test, and a strep test. I'm negative for strep, but I don't know about the blood test. I'm taking one so the doctor can actually prove I'm gluten intolerant, even though we already suspect it. I hated both tests, but the strep one was easier and more comfy, so that one gets tops.

Other than the fact that I watched Ratatouille today, nothing else to report except for the fact that I hate homework. Sooo much!

- Ethan

Happy (sick) Days!!

2008-09-15T14:15:00.000-07:00

I think I'll make a shoutout on Becca.

She's my cooler-than-no-other cousin, who has wished me a happy birthday like 5 times today.

And - she's nice! Can you believe it??

Thanks, Becca. :)

- Ethan

P.S. This is the phone I have my eye on - what do you think? I don't have many choices because my parents partnered with T-mobile, but most the phones I really want I can't afford anyway. :) It looks OK though, and hopefully uber thin.

14th and still coming

2008-09-15T09:49:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to me...

Happy birthday to me!

Happy birthday, happy birthday...!!

HAPPY BIRTDAY TO ME!!!!!

Well, well, well... I'm 14, whuddaya know it! 14 years of sitting around at school. Well, okay, not that many, but pretty much *cough cough*

So, I'm still very sick, otherwise I wouldn't be posting this right now. Now I've developed a really bad cough... It's not very fun, especially that *shudder shudder shudder* cherry flavoured cough medicine *shudder*

This morning I got a jokebook, some candy, and a really nice letter from my mom.

That last one was really nice of her. I'm also really excited that I now have permission to get a phone. Yay me!! Just to clarify, that's not my parents are going to get me a phone, it's that I finally have permission to own and use one. Meaning, that most probably I will earn the phone and pay for the service, which for some reason is dicsounted because my parents will be adding a teen (?). It'll be hard, but I've wanted a phone for a while, so it should work out really well...

Oh, and you'll never believe this: Becca's blog actually has more posts than mine and has been open only half as long! Gosh, she's more of a blogger than I am, and I thought that SHE would be a little neglectant... So go check her awesome blog out!

Da Hobo Blog (I'm really not a hobo, you know)

And yes, I just had to be that mean and change my blog address AGAIN. Special thanks to Becca, my totally awesomer-than-ever cousin!!

- Ethan

PS. do you think you know me? Do the poll and see...

Oh yeah and check HomeStarRunner.com for new Lolz!

Sick... for my birthday

2008-09-14T14:52:00.000-07:00

Yeah, figures... Who, in their sub-conscious mind would get sick on (well, a day before) their birthday?!!?

Me, that's who. I have a horrible throat-ache (is that even a word?), a stomach ache again, congestion, a tacky cough, and a headache. Oh wait, did I mention diarrhea?

You don't want to know.

I am 14 tomorrow!!! I'm soooo happy, yay me! *DJ record backwards sound* Oh wait, I'm sick. Depressed again. Sheesh, I might even have to stay home from school (again!) tomorrow, good grief. I already stayed home from church today, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Two more awesomeness things before I go. Scratch that, three. First, I AM JEALOUS. Apple released new iPod Nanos, and they look sooo cool! And you can shake it to shuffle the song - how awesome is that?

Nextly, the poll. The answer is... *DRUMROLE PLZ*
g) A, E, and F!
If you actually READ the about me thing on the side - >>>>>>>
then you would know that I go by eaglestreasure on CoS Forums (a fav. HP site of mine), and if you actually checked my old blog or even just read my oldest post on here, you would know that I'm also ravensheart from Wordpress. AND, it's just super sad for you if you're the one checking this blog and you don't even know that Ethan (me) runs it. I even write '- Eth' or '- Ethan' at the end of all my posts!! Sheesh!

Now, to whoever two people said I was a creepy hobo? I Hate you. That's BECCA already! Can't you even tell the difference? (OK, well we are pretty similar...)

And who said I was Avril Lavigne??!! DO you really think that some wiggett popstar person is going to be pretending to be a 14 year old boy in Utah when she could just use the blog she slready has??
On the other hand, you MIGHT just have a cruel sense of humor...

Yeah. Sorry, it was kinda tricky to put up Ethan as an option. I know that most you guys really aren't too tech-minded, but it DOES have all the answers on this blog to be fair on my part.

Lastly, but not leastly, I think that a nice template change is in order. It's about time to have my blog go green, don't you think?? ;)

- Ethan

P.S. - I recently saw Camp Rock. It's yet another tween-girl-soap-opera 90 minute film about a girl named Mitchie, who wants to go to Camp Rock (a camp exclusively for Rock stars and rich people) but her parents can't afford it. She has a good voice though. Then her mom starts a catering business and the camp rock people hire her to do like 1 1/2 weeks of their meals, so Mitchie can go because her mom gets her in for a discounted price. But, then, when she's at camp she is sick and tired of not being popular (only 1 friend back at home), so she lies and says that her dad lives in London and her mom is president of Hot Tunes TV China and gets in with popular girls. And the most popular girl, Tess, is really snooty and treats everyone like dirt. And she thinks that she's the only person at camp who's good at singing. So then, a big heartthrob popstar guy Shayne Grahy or whatever comes to teach at the camp, and he makes friends with Mitchie, because she likes him for him and not just because he's famous like the other girls do. But then Tess hears Mitchie sing and thinks that she'll be beaten at final jam so she lies to the camp director and he says well then Mitchie and her friend Katelyn (who knows that Mitchie's not really rich, but is OK about it) can't go to final jam, then right before final jam Tess tells every person that her mom is really just the cook there and that Mitchie's dad runs a hardware store, so then everyone hates Mitchie like crazy and Shayne Grahy thinks she really just liked him for his fame after all, so then she shows up at final jam and doesn't win but sings a song and then Tess turns nice magically and everyone falls in love with everyone THE END. *heavy panting* **still panting**

Braces... the horror axe murdering teeth leeches 2

2008-09-08T15:16:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm getting them off next appt. Yay me!

The 7 things I hate about braces!:
shh shh shh I really wanna say this
Cuz at times I get so scared
When I think about the thoothiest
Relationship we've shared

Wasn't awesome, so I lost
It's no possible for me to care more
and with Obama and McCain
Even they know it won't change until your hear, oh fear

The 7 things I hate about you

The 7 things I hate about you, oh you
You hurt, you're sly, you're too secure
You say it doesn't hurt
You make me barf, you make me cry
and I wish I'd hurry up and die
You're friends, they're jerks
And when they tighten you, ohh, it hurts
I wanna be with the teeth I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You murder me too

It's awkward and it's silent
As I wait until the day
When I am safe to part you
Running off without delay
if you were live, I'd make you beat
Or if online, bet I'd delete this
Let's be clear
Oh I'm not coming back
My teeth suffering stops here...
Oh

The 7 things I hate about you, oh you
You hurt, you're sly, you're too secure
You say it doesn't hurt
You make me barf, you make me cry
and I wish I'd hurry up and die
You're friends, they're jerks
And when they tighten you, ohh, it hurts
I wanna be with the teeth I know
And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You murder me too

and Compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I should probably mention the 7 that I like

The 7 things I like about you
I don't, I don't, I hate your mind
You make me want to go blind
I hate you so, there's nothing great
About all uneaten food all on my plate
I hope you die
When we're intertwined, nothing is alright
I wanna be, with the teeth I know
And the 7th thing I like the most that you do ooh
I like nothing that you do, shh shh
You do ooh oooh ooh ooh ooh la la la ooh ooh ooh ooh

Braces free!

Oooooooooh yeah, that's more like it. Who knew that Horrible orthodontics + Miley Cyrus = stress relief?

Sean is baptized

2008-09-07T19:44:00.000-07:00

Sean was baptized today. Everyone has been really excited for this day, and it was a great one.

I'm really tired right now, so as of right now I don't think that I'll write much about it.
Well, I updated the playlist (or more of re-arranged it a bit), so be sure to listen!

Siyonara for now,

Phone, Chrome, and my Birthday (not necessarily in that order)

2008-09-04T17:54:00.000-07:00

Hiyas! I haven't posted in a while. School is tough! Like, really tough!
Some of my teachers throw papers, others never update, some give to much homework.

I wish school was at LEAST less home-workey, but that will never happen. So yeah...

I also happen to need a chiropractor like that nice little kitty up theres. Sheesh, I can pop my back a TRILLIONZ of times a day, and it hurts afterward (although the popping it feels really good)

So, I've been testing Google Chrome (Google's new web browser!) and so far it is faster than NO OTHER, w00tity woot!!!!!!! Like, as in, at least twice as fast as FF, 1.5 faster than SF, and 17 times faster than the -not-really-qualifying-as-a-browser- IE! Holy crap, I'm impressed! And, if you crash a page, it only closes the tab, not the whole browser. Which is nice. If they get Java support, get a firefox quick searches feature (like "g abraham lincoln" to google him, or "w apple" to wikipedia apple), and then just get an adblocker or support a way to use a plugin for one, I WILL SWITCH OVER COMPLETELY~!!!

W00t. My birthday is in... 11 DAYS now! I can't wait till I'm 14, I might get a phone.

Changed playlist, new poll.

Lagoon

2008-09-01T19:48:00.000-07:00

I feel really tired right now, which is no small wonder seeing as I just got back from Lagoon, probably the hugest amusement park in the state.

I went on the Tidal wave (a huge ship hovering above the ground that swings up and down vertically and makes you throw up)
the Terroride (I HATE that spelling) a horror ride,
Dracula's Castle (another horror ride)
The Spider (really jerky roller coster)
THE Roller Coaster (white, rickety and older than no other)
Turn of the Century (huge swingy things)
Rattlesnake Rapids (river thingy)
Puff the Magic Dragon (just for Felix's sake...)
Odysea (pronounced like Odyssey, another water thing)
and the Skyride...

Lagoon was really cool, I hope that next time I'll have enough courage to go on Wicked...

Hey guys. I don't know whether my mom likes it that I'm on the computer on Sunday or not, but she DOES tell us all to write in our journals, and this is my journal, right??

So, I switched laptops. Again. Not that I decided that Vista is better than Leopard (it isn't even close, and crashed and erased this post a minute ago) but because I was sick of being in debt. I owed my parents a TON of money, so I just gave up when my dad mentioned that he wanted a Macbook for business. So, yeah. I just had a BSoD. Microsoft, go stick your head in a pile of rocks.
Vista SUCKS.

I are bored and kinda wandering, so I'll just say that we are experiencing 70-80 MPH winds right now. Sheesh!

Only a few more weeks till I'M FOURTEEN!! Yay me!

New poll up, and I changed the music playlist again. I'll post another LOLcats thing again tomorrow after I get back form lagoon.

Prince Caspian

2008-08-27T21:24:00.000-07:00

I just felt so... touch, and loved when I heard this song, and I had to post the lyrics. I just KNOW God lives and that he loves us all.

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

The Facebook of Mormon: The good, bad 'n ugly & Baby names

2008-08-22T19:54:00.000-07:00

I know. Long post title, huh?! Well, so I sent around an email about the whole 'OMG Mormon-Facebook / Facebook of Mormon / LDS Taking over internet!! / Mormon-book' thing. I'll post it here, fix the playlists issue below, and then I'll post some waaaay cute baby names.

Okay, so most of you may not know that there has been a lot of buzz about the LDS Church buying Facebook, an online social networking site. Well, they ARE NOT, and have never HAD any intention to, but supposedly a sleazy Associated Press reporter nobody went digging and heard from a "close friend" that the Church History offices had made a noticeable bid (to own) Facebook. (Apparently, it was being auctioned??)

So, why would the church buy Facebook anyway?
Family History - if people had links to relatives' profiles, you could find a lot of info on people who may not be on geneology roles/records
Popularization - whether or NOT it would be ethical or whether the church would do it are irrelevant... The church would be popular if it owned a social networking site, and what a convenient way to get converts.
Safe online social activities - many a talk have I heard from church leaders on online safety. There was a lot about it in the New Era and Ensign, and if the church could filter and monitor a cool, fun, teen-approved social networking place, then teens would have a good site to do their thing on without so much worry.
Revenue - I actually would think negatively about this, but face it (no pun intended): the Church would make some money.
Having a voice - this would even give the church a chance to speak out to others on non-religious things, like encouraging humanitarian service, having a 'Do a Good Deed' widget, etc.
Communication - think about it. People "invite" others to either real or virtual events through Facebook's e-mail service, so you could invite an inactive friend to church, remind your neighbor about mutual, or ask someone to help with that Relief Society gathering...

Yeah, so my reasons were pretty lame, but still...
The Facebook of Mormon sounds pretty cool to me!

So. Probably some of you know that I can't read Twilight. Except my mom won't let me, so...

I don't know what to think.

Today I decided to stop with all the LOLs and OMGs and stuff. They hurt my fingers, and take too long to type. It's been waaaayy too long since I blog posted.

School has been OK so far I guess... I really like my US History teacher, and Choir teacher, and also my English teacher. I ARE TIRED. (or so say the cats of I Can Has Cheezburger)

Sunday

2008-08-17T15:26:00.000-07:00

So today is sunday. not that you should be surprised or anything.

I FEEL PATRIOTIC RIGHT NOW...
Well, at least lately I have because of the Beijing Olympics.

I think my post shouldn't be too much work (it is Sunday!) so I'll copy and keep it short.

Sometimes, I just feel sooooooooooooo grateful for Sundays!!!!!!!!!!!! And for the fact that my dad is checking my blog in the other room (I can hear the music) *smug*

So, since I have been redeemed for trying to glitch out my =DF= (DragonFable) account, I will copy my post about the game from my previous blog in case some of you missed it. :D
(I am now level 28 [used to be 19 a while ago] - yay me!)

MAY 26, 2008 -

Today for my tech post, I’m gonna go for more of a gamer type thing. I’m going to tell you about a free online web RPG called DragonFable. It’s kinda like the age-old dungeons and dragons with really nice graphics, a more moving plot, and lots of LOL-style humor. When you start playing, you are asked whether you’d like to be a Mage (magic: staffs, wands, spells), Warrior (phys.: axes, doom-kick, strength), or a Rogue (hybrid: daggers, stamina, speed). The most commonly chosen arch-type is Warrior, followed by Mage. I chose Mage. The game is quite simple; not necessarily easy, though. You go around and fight monsters, do specialty quests, and train skills (like Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Paladin training, etc.). It seems like it would be really boring, but it’s not because there IS a plot (being developed and updated constantly), and it dramatically effects what you can and/or want to do with your character. I picked Sereneth for a character name… don’t ask me why, it sounded cool. And, true to it’s name, DragonFable has a point where you hatch and train a dragon, eventually one big enough for you to ride on. Here’s a screenshot of me trying to level up (because I had just trained my blacksmith skills and wanted a level-specific weapon). It’s the Ghost Quest in the Falconreach Inn (and my dragon is still an infant with attitude :)). In my friends party are Artix Von Krieger (the paladin specialist always battling zombies) and Valencia (the rare-artifacts seller). The little icons are for different specialty attacks, and below that it lists our names. Our levels are in circles by our name; there’s no limit for levels, but higher than 20 or so is rare, as it’s hard to level up.

Be sure to check it (and it’s sister game, AdventureQuest) out!

Today I was playing DragonFable, and tried to hack it, and

Yep, just like that. Caleb did it, but to Harrison Grant, his 7 year old cousin because Harrison wanted a fair-and-square boat race. i know, scary huh!?? caleb just insisted on being the boss, and tried to make everyone but him get out of the water, and when Harrison wanted to set up his little paper boat just perfect, caleb (9, acts like he's 6 when angry) decided to yell shut up, you dork. that made Harrison mad, so he kicked some water at Caleb. Like, as in it's not even FUNNY how fast he (caleb) gets mad. It barely even sprinkled his shirt, and he got really angry. harrison turned around to fix up his little boat and when he looked up again, BAM!!!!! Harrison had been totally wasted, purple and puffy in his eye and a well bruised nose and then he cried for like EvR!!! lol (not really a laughing matter. it was a joke, im not that mean-)

Well, changed the playlist, PLZ-PLZ-PLZ-please comment, FOR GOSH's SAKE(s)!!
By the way, Harry Potter and Edward Cullen would NEVER fight anyway. They are both good guys, both working for world peice (or at least, they're anti-chaotic). But still, HARRY would win!

Now, before i go i'm going to post my favorite FF3 extentions/addons, and the ones i'm using.

firstly, I <3 "ADBLOCK PLUS+"!!! It blocks all ads, flash and animated pictures, even the popups and the annoying '10,o00th visit0r, Lo1' ones. so great, must give it a try!!!!! Adblock Plus via The Mozilla Addons Page. Nextly, I am using "CustomizeGoogle". This one removes ads from google searched, speeds them up a little, and can even show you previews of a page before u go to it.CustomizeGoogle via The Mozilla Addons Page. Then, there's just the same-old same-old GMail Notifier,the PDF plugn... i got 2 go tu dinner, bye!

When you see the lappy
at pre-dusk on the day
we all call monday

thinking of funnyness
remarks and other things
like strong sad
and scented candles...

You know. You are a homestar-runner fan!

Ok, sorry for the poem thingy there, i didn't really know how to -uh- open my post today.
Anyhoo, i want to do this in the order listed up there: Firstly, Magic. As in the latests in HomestarRunner's 'amazing thing' cartoonies. Then, Mozilla. I have a surprise - but you'll have to read on... and lastly, Lupin's Papers.

1. Ahhh, how much I would like to give Mike, Matt, and Missy a big hug... Their toons are better then an anti-depressant, yet more addictive. When in doubt, H*R is one heck of a laugh. And their last toon, Magic, is just a hoot, so go check it out. Go, go on. I even put a pwetty wittle link fouw you... H*R .com

2. Mozilla - as in Mozilla Firefox. FF3. Yes, I know you're just in soooo much suspense right now...........
I SWITCHED!! w00t, kudos, C0ngratz, etc. etc.
When Firefox 3 first came out, sure i participated in the world record thing, and of course i downloaded it to give it a try... But my first impression? horrid. It looked like some zombie-IE5 for Windows 98 returning for revenge. It crashed my mac, messed up my permissions files, and it was not compatible with many of my favorite extentions... it even blocked any 'secure' sites that start with https:// !
But that was a month ago with the new 3.0.0.0, LOL :D Now it's 3.0.1 I believe, and my favorite extentions work fine. Runs faster than Safari, has new inline spellchecking, and has had no bugs, crashes, or permission issues to my knowledge.
Welcome back, Firefox!!

3. Lupin's Papers... OK! So I recently was thinking about the question, who would win in a fight, Edward Cullen or Harry Potter?? Of course, as you may have anticipated, my answer was soooo HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!! Edward, though the charmer he is, would be wasted, shamefully, horribly, effortlessly. And don't you DARE try to deny it.
*sigh*...
It only just hit me what an incurable HP fan I am. Well, back to listening to David Archuleta/Jordan Sparks!

Not so bravest @ camp

2008-08-09T11:44:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! Sorry, I went to scout camp for about six days and as such have
had no access to the internet or any kind of computer - hope u didn't miss me posting
TOO much!

Right now I'm listening to Jordan Sparks - I actually got back from camp around 8 in the
morning, we left Payson around 7.

So about camp. K - first i'll introduce you guys to what merit badges i have.
I earned basketry, art, and geology. I also almost got weather, LOL, but the
camp people were supposed to have some rando meteorologist guy to come
talk to us except he never showed, so... noone got that one at all, except one guy
who had done some stuff before hand.

Our troop is actually undergoing radical changes right now, there are like four new scouts
and three old scouts just left. Everything seems empty and kinda uninteresting without them.
I will even leave in almost a month myself... i can hardly believe I will be 14!

We had a lot of fun, except for we had to pull out moss and fungus stuff from the bottom
of the Plake (pond/lake) and it was really gross. and also the caiboes (or porta-potties)
there are ridiculously bad, some of them are just unbearable...

At the end of camp we had a flag ceremony, and we had pictures of everyone (probably
like 900 people total at the camp) showed as some kind of slidehow on a huge screen
outdoors. about being the not so bravest, one person right next to me stood up and
saluted the flag when they unrolled it, it was as huge as a building, like a Garrison or something.

Anyhoo i probably would have but no-one else was doing it, not even the staff
so then I felt really guilty later when the guy asked why no-one stood up......
Oh well, I'm not a very brave person at all... sometimes I think i am insane, LOL :D

The food was really good, they delivered and we cooked, so yay no food lines!
Everyone got really really dirty if not completely and ridiculously covered
in dirt and mud and dust and trash and bug bites and paper cuts. i had a nice long shower,
so that was kinda nice. I made some new friends, and i hope they made me too
(pun intended)

HAPPY REJOICEFUL NEWS: OMG Destiny Hope Cyrus/Miley Ray Cyrus/Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana
did not renew her contract w/ Disney, so that must mean that her show is done for, yay!

So plz comment, tell me if you liked the news, i check comments and I can talk 2 you all
more about Maple Dell if you guys really want 2.

Tales of Beedle that Bard

2008-08-01T18:40:00.000-07:00

Ok, so you remember my HP-obsessiveness? OK well now I am hopping up and down and dancing all around I AM SO EXCITED!

JK Rowling is OFFICIALLY RELEASING a New Book --

"Even though it's her and Harry's birthdays, JK Rowling is giving us and charity yet another gift. In a press release this morning, Scholastic announced that Jo's children's charity, the Children’s High Level Group (CHLG), will be publishing The Tales of Beedle the Bard.

You may recall last December, when Amazon.com bid $4 million to snag one of seven copies in existence at a Sotheby's auction in London. The books will be printed and distributed by Bloomsbury, Scholastic and Amazon.

Jo had this to say: "There was understandable disappointment among Harry Potter fans when only one copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard was offered to the public last December. I am therefore delighted to announce that, thanks to the generous support of Bloomsbury, Scholastic and Amazon (who bought the handwritten copy at auction) – and with the blessing of the wonderful people who own the other six original books - The Tales of Beedle the Bard will now be widely available to all Harry Potter fans. Royalties will be donated to the Children’s High Level Group, to benefit institutionalised children in desperate need of a voice. The new edition will include the Tales themselves, translated from the original runes by Hermione Granger, and with illustrations by me, but also notes by Professor Albus Dumbledore, which appear by generous permission of the Hogwarts Headmasters’ Archive."

Scholastic predicts the book will generate around $8 million in sales - all going to benefit the CHLG.

The Children’s High Level Group works to make life better for vulnerable children across Europe, where over a million children and teenagers are growing up in unacceptable conditions in large residential institutions."

Yay, that just soooo made my day... Unfortunately I'm leaving early in the morning for scout camp on monday, so my blog should be vacant for a while. I PROMISE I'm not just dropping it, but it should be post-less for about a week. So I guess I should do my round of compliments: RANDOM edition!!

Compliments:
Heather | Wow, hard worker, *sparkly* personality, cheery, and really insightful.
Judy | Amazingly kind, happy, and willing to help others.
Mom | Willing to help me bend around my schedule, LOL
Gavin | Qute, Kyute, Cutie Qt, Cute!!
Felix | A really awesome toddler who throws things. He also deserves a Nobel Keeping Parents Tired award! He also makes me smile.
Hannah | Funnier than funny... couldn't not be funny if her life depended on it

Funeral and memory foam

2008-07-31T18:41:00.000-07:00

Hi, i am once again writing on my oh-so-fabulous blog that I know you all check! :P

Well, today I went to the funeral of my friend's mom. It hasn't been my first funeral, but the last time I went to one was maybe in the third grade, so I don't remember much LOL.

The funeral was ok, but it was about an hour longer than it was supposed to be. I didn't really get a good chance to see my friend though. :(

Also, yesterday my mom got me this huge peice of memory foam at Target for 20 dollars, and sleeping on it has been great so far. I usually wake up at least once a night for misc. reasons, and seriously ppl, I really hate it w/ a passion. The mem. foam is really helping though, the first night i didn't even wake up and the next night I only woke up once because I had rolled off the foam :D
I actually don't think that its real high quality name-brand memory foam, but It still serves its purpose. I would reccomend you get some, as the only downside has been that it's a little too narrow for my bed, so sometimes I roll off of it.

my mom also took me to the orthodontist, i hoped that they could finally make an appointment to get my horred braces off, except the ortho guy pulled a dirty trick on my parents, and so now apparently we need to pay like 90 dollars extra. so my mom is kinda mad about it, and so am i, because they said I have to wait until october to finish up my overbite, which they had SAID was fixed like 3 months previously... Personally I think they are just doing it for the 80$ copay they charge for a visit, so if I were you i would not take your kids to Christeansen and Nord's orthodontic in orem, they do a horrible job and me and my parents suspect they are scammers, or at least really sly in a bad way.

Oh, and even though i like the playlist thingy I am getting real tired of Miley Cyrus (who looks glamorous but is bound to have serious mental issues) so I changed the playlist.com widget. Be sure to check out all the songs, some of them are hidden/locked remixes, like Sand in My Shoes and Reflection... Comment PLEASE - next should I add Lonestar, Marie Digby, or David Archuleta??
