There WAS a kitty on my lap and I was happy. :P
Wellum. I'm pretty sure I'm going to our Capitol City (or...village?) for College. Yuppers. Affordable, small, close (ish), and not freeeeeezing. Also, I've got options over there. My mom just told me that her friends parents live there, and they have a small apartment attached to the house - where they live cause they can't go up stairs anymore. Annd thier kids were thinking it would be nice if someone stayed at the house..and made sure "they weren't dead, once in a while." 8|
So...I'd have a house (for free) that was only a couple blocks from campus. OR I could live ON campus. My choice. And there's many complicated pros and cons to both. :\
Too much to think about.
Yeah. ANyways...I felt like sharing. It's just dawned on me and I'm going to forget tomorrow, cause it's late. So yeah. :) Small update.

More updates. Yay!
Alllllrighty! All of my teachers are pretty awesome, as far as I can tell. And I'm already procrastinating...soo school has begun! :D
A Teacher Recap:
1) Math Teacher. Name: Luc (Luke) Ups: Looks like Hugh Jackman; Downs: ...it's distracting. :) Ups: He's also really funny. Also, being beginning Algebra, I have a vague, if not somewhat limited, concept of what's going on.
2) Argumentative Writing
Name: Sharon. (its weird like Sarah's school. All the teacher's want to be called by their first names) Ups: We listened to a really hilarious podcast in class; Downs: Not every class will be like that. We also talked about Cereal and Sex....an interesting combination...
Least favorite teacher from the bunch. But it's only been one day...we'll see.
3) Psychology
Alright. I already pretty much fail this class: if grade is determined on how to spell "psychology". I just spent like, 4 minutes trying to figure it out.
Name: Rosanne.
.....my first thoughts were "Get me out of here." She's very...I don't even know. Like...gah. I need a face to face description. She's very unique ...But I liked her in the end. She's funny in her own way, but still...her. :P It's really hard to explain.
4) Photography.
Name: Tim
Someone told me he was grumpy. And I expected, you know, figuring the odds, that my last teacher would end up being awful. But, he's really nice.(YAY) I need to buy a camera (yay!/and no!) and he referenced some good, reliable, cheap (Student Discounts!!) sites to buy from. Soo awesome. But since it's digital, the class focuses on heavy editing, which I don't really like. I like...just plain, good, raw pictures. The way they were shot. But *shrug* I can handled it. It would be good to learn the program and use it when I need to, but I think for my own photos I won't use it.
Awesome. SO - classes tomorrow. Math and Writing. I'll probably give you all a schedule of some sort so you know where I am and when, in case you need something or what not....Maybe not. :P I hope you guys are having a good school..days...year. and I can betcha this: College is waaaaaayyy better. :) I love it.
Now I just need to stop procrastinating. ....graahh.
Oh! And Kosy!! Could you post some pictures from camping on Facebook (<-- haha...an anphiboly*) and tag me in them? Or send them in a message? Awesome. :) I might want a profile picture out of them.
-A
*Critical Thinking Lesson of the Day:
Anphiboly - an argument/statement that commits a rather humorous fallacy. My favorite type. :)
Example:
Mr. Wilson shot an Elephant in his Pajamas.
...it can be interpreted lots of different ways. :) hahha. They always crack me up...

The first day of college has begun...
The Ups and Down's of my day.... :D
Down: Sitting in the hall waiting for the door to be unlocked and watching all the Early Honors people pass by into another room. All of them asking: "What class are you taking?" and having to answer: "Elementary Algebra", whilst they walked into the Calculus Class...ahh...the curse of un-intelligence.
UP: My teacher could be Hugh Jackman's younger brother, or a younger version of Hugh Jackman himself. 8D He also says "Super" really, really funny. He's half French and Half German...
Down: My argumentative writing class was switched, thus, my books were switched as well. SO - new books! :( Which are expensive...
UP: I bought the wrong book just yesterday, and didn't use it, so the bookstore gladly accepted it back and I bought my new (but USED!) books for way less and with the return money. :)
Awesome. Now, a haircut, new comics, and homework (<- Down) !! Overall, a pretty good day. :)

Trying to salvage what's left of my brain....
As we all filed in for class, the first words me teacher said to me were
"this is the expectation in this class: to spend every waking moment working on your homework".
And I didn't take him seriously.
Critical thinking is hard and I'm already behind on my homework. 50 questions in the first section, 80+ in the next section, and it's already too late and I'm too tired to do the next four sections I'm supposed to do.
I am going to die.
no more procrastinating for me… Just homework. It is already evident that I don't have enough time for a job anymore. Unless I get into the groove of things and speed through my homework like Flash. Which is highly unlikely.
So yeah, that's my update.
On the upside, I'm actually doing work and stimulating my brain ( while also killing it). And I can actually enjoy my textbook when I don't have to worry about doing five other sections after it.
I know it's only the first day and that it will get better… Or maybe not. I can't wait for my other classes!! Sarcastic/excited
Signing off, senior/part-time college student, you're now brain-dead friend,

New Year
College orientation went great! Hung out with K.H (student's name removed for safety reasons) almost the entire time (cringe), but met some new people as well. :) And it wasn't entirely unpleasant. Very confusing during the registration process, and now I am taking Psychology, Critical Thinking(Required), Math, Photography (apparently the teacher is "grumpy"), annnd Argumentative Writing (*sarcastic* YAY!). I get to argue. In writing. Fun stuff. And they're teaching French next semester sooo....hehe. I was thinking about that. No German, sadly. Sniff. Anyways. Lots of fun! Got soaked from the INSANE rain and lots of comments (nice ones) about my Batman shirt. :) teehee. Interesting bunch of people. AND THE LIBRARY HAS A PENDULUM!! YAY! I was a little *TOO* overexcited about that apparently. It just....facsimiles me! (haha...typo, and it corrected it to...facsimiles...hopefully it doesn't mean anything bad). It FASCINATES me. :) (Sarah...it's the thing on LOST...the swinging ball). Soo....definetly going to spend time just sitting in the library...looking at a swinging ball and trying to wrap my head around it.
it's awesome.
AND I'M A SENIOR!!
....I'm a senior.....
Yikes.

P.S. I AM EXCITED!! And terrified. WOW! YAY! yikes...Awesome!!

The Past: A Huge Chunk of Time
So while nobody's been posting, we've been doing several different and highly-time-taking things. K was out and aboot in Michigan and Canada doing awesome stuff that she'll post later; S was doing school work and working and being extremely self-disciplined; A was... I don't exactly know what A was doing, but she was doing something! Anywho, I (as in the pronoun, there isn't another person who's joined our acronym) was just recently employed with family. You see it was my Gma's eightieth birthday and for a surprise, my mom's entire side of the family came into town. It was really nice and the look on my Gma's face was priceless, however, I have a big family. And while it was grand and fun and exciting to see them all together, forty five is a lot of people to fit into one house for any amount of time (Luckily the weather was fantastic so the big family reunion was outside on my aunt's yard). We did several things like eat and play games and eat and go to the zoo and eat at the zoo and then eat some more. Honestly, I don't know how my mom did it. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a night when we weren't all together having dinner. Oooo!!! and A and S and I went to the Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows Part 2 premier. We dressed up and everything. It was pretty epic. Anyway, that's about all that's gone on around here. Now I have to start really buckling down and doing my summer AP school work. XP ew.

Feelings
Well. Here I am. And you guys are gone. My first blog post in a while. Yippee! Too bad though, that most of the stuff going on right now isn't rainbows and butterflies.
Tensions, and emotions, are running rampant in my house. It's hard to watch my mom and grandma talk about what to do for the memorial. You can just see that it's killing them inside.
They shouldn't have to do this.
I miss you guys.
I feel like an emotional barrel. A barrel that's buried in the middle of the earth. It's SO buried that it's come out the other side of the earth so that it's not buried anymore. But it is.
This post represents a small bit of what's inside that barrel.
My emotions. What I'm feeling.
I feel like, if I put my feelings, my emotions, the things I keep hidden, out there for people to see...then I make myself vulnerable. They're out there. For people to comment about, to criticize, to judge, to think about, to KNOW.
I'm going against every fiber of my being by posting this.
I feel helpless. I'm strong in front of my family. I'm strong in front of myself. I'm strong in front of you.
But in front of my computer. My words. I quake.
I have to watch my family go through this hard time. It's painful, for them and for me.
I want it to be over.
Wow. You guys wanted me to talk, you got me to talk. And you aren't even here. There's some skills right there.
Sorry it had to be so depressing.
Donald Trudeau died on November 30, 2010. He was the best grandpa I could have ever had. He was always happy, always smiling, and I've never looked up to anyone like I looked up to him. There were so many things I wanted to say to him. But never did.
"Grandpa Turtle", as we used to call him, will be forever in my heart.
And one day I'll see him again.

All I ask is that you pray for my Grandma and Mom. They're taking it super hard.
Thank you.

Quote
Well now that I've posted once might as well keep going :) Here is a quote from a book I read recently (in an hour!!) that I liked about companionship.
"First of all, Jesus sends the twelve out in pairs (Mark 6:7). We keep forgetting that we are being sent out two-by-two. We cannot bring good news on our own. We are called to proclaim the Gospel together, in community. There is a divine wisdom here. 'If two of you on earth agree to ask anything at all, it will be granted to you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three meet in my name, I am among them" (Matthew 18:19-20). You might already have discovered for yourself how radically different traveling alone is from traveling together. I have found over and over again how hard it is to be truly faithful to Jesus when I am alone. I need my brothers or sisters to pray with me, to speak with me about the spiritual task at hand, and to challenge me to stay pure in mind, heart, and body. But far more importantly, it is Jesus who heals, not I; Jesus who speaks words of truth, not I; Jesus who is Lord, not I. This is very clearly made visible when we proclaim the redeeming power of God together. Indeed, whenever we minister together, it is easier for people to recognize that we do not come in our own name, but in the name of the Lord Jesus who sent us."

WHOA
Ok wow. So...we went to the homeschool prom which was pretty awesome, oriental themed. We danced and stuff... :P Yeah.
And me and A went camping and then we went camping again but with S that time and a bunch of boy scouts. And we planned the next medical TV drama.
And I took my AP tests, and S got her lisence, and summer came and we finished school (except for S) and we did a bunch of fun stuff outside and me and A went rafting with my family and I helped cook for Kids Camp bootcamp and M and S are going to be group leaders this year (wooooot!)
Aaaannnddd....we watched X-Men last night ("beautiful man....") and we watched Madagascar 2 this morning (amazing movie).
On Wednesday A and I are going canoeing for 5 days. Tomorrow M and S start Kids Camp. Summer is here and it is blissful. Trigger and Solomon are very strong.
Me and M are done teaching preschool...I bought a swimsuit on ebay. Calvinism is different. We're trying to buy Les Miserables tickets for this summer (BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!!!!)
And that's all I can think of now.

Pomp & Circumstance
My sister graduated today :) I don't want to go to school anymore....bleh.
I got new shoes and it was raining earlier, I don't look good in yellow but then again like nobody does. I can't wait until school is done and I can read books all day long. Or sleep. I don't get why people play Sudoku. I might have to get a job next year to raise money to go to Europe with Mr. Brown because that would be so cool but then I would have no money for college and we'd never be able to go camping because I would be working...hmm....

Just postin'
I have a zit like right on my ear and it really hurts.There are a bunch of strange men in my back yard...one of them is pretty cute but most of them are older with beards and they're covered in mud and smoking and scratching and spitting and other man things and it's kind of creeping me out. I can't wait to go camping....Lalalala. I had to write a paragraph about myself for this Facing Your Future program to be shared with the whole group, and I didn't know what to write so I can up with this:
"My name is Kosette Isakson and I live in Anchorage Alaska. I live with my parents and sister in our igloo with our two polar bears. My sister and I share Snow Ball, the older of the two. She is, like me, nearly 17 years old. We also have a dog named Steele who wards of grizzly bears during the summers, though we have to keep him indoors during the daylight hours due to the mosquitos. Each morning during the school year I ride my dogsled team twenty-two miles to the community school where I am one of nine students K-12. My favorite meal is moose meat chili, and no, I don't eat whales-- that's just a silly rumor that people made up about Alaskans."
I just thought I'd share in case you guys have any suggestions to add to it.

Nulato April 14-17, 2011
Oh my goodness, my brain is fried. I had a really amazing trip. We did alot of new things this year and changed it up a bunch. We didn't do any mimes and didn't share any testimonies or anything like that. We just played games and ran around. It kinda made me feel like we didn't do anything... like we did present the gospel in any way. But God can do anything and we put lots of pebbles in peoples shoes, so that's good. I love those people. I couldn't stand to say goodbye to all the kids, then later to all the teens. I'm going to miss them so much. I really just hope that they're all there next year.
Something that really tried me was that it felt "lighter" spiritually, but it felt really apathetic. ya know? also, that there was so much fighting, all the time. All the fast kids who were really good at basketball made fun of the little kids who were slower. I didn't notice it last year, and i'm sorry i didn't. These kids, these teens are hurting so much that they feel the need to say the ugliest things to each other. i had crying kids come to me for a hug more than once. But it's still amazing. They're so fun to hang out with, and since we did alot of games and stuff, we got to connect a whole lot better than last year.
We went on a walk, went to the rec center every night almost, played endless amounts of bball, watch "To Save a Life", and just sat with each other. I honestly can't discribe it. The only word that I could use to discribe it would be indiscribable.
There's no place like it. There's no place like Nulato. It is so gorgeous there, and the kids are like little sponges that soak up all the love you could possibly give them. AH! I miss it so much, and i've only been gone for three hours. I could easily live out there for the rest of my life.

Izi and the A Peeps
Once upon a time…there was Izi. And she was very special. There was a prophecy about her but she wouldn’t know that because no one ever knows when there’s a prophecy about them. And her mom drowned in a lake because that’s what people do sometimes in lakes and her dad fled to earth to live in the mountains and Izi was like “hey, I’m a horse” and then her dad went back to Armasia and saw the lake and there was a flustern which is whisper in French but it isn’t a whisper in Armasia it’s an emotion flaring machine and so he drowned himself in the lake…sad. And so Izi was ALL ALONE. Until she met Riddle and Riddle made her happy because he makes everyone happy and they were friends once he left the city and they traveled together. And then there was Shayla who had basically the most depressing life ever and she was wandering around wallowing in self-pity but not really and she was a pica and Riddle was hungry and you can see where this is going but then Riddle was a raven but only because Shayla was a falcon first and then Shayla was a human and so was Riddle and the Shayla fainted because wow. And then Izi was like “cool, can I keep it?” because she is so funny like that and then Shayla woke up and she was like freaking out so she went on a walk but of course with her luck she almost died in a rock slide but a mysterious stranger with muscles like TREES saved her and Riddle found her and was like "dude, get a grip” but she woke up and told them about him so Riddle was like “fine, I’ll go stalk him like a creeper” but Trigger- the tree guy- caught on and was like “go away!” and Riddle was like “Uh- I don’t think so!” but then he did because of the tree muscles and then Shayla was like “ugh!” so she made them talk to each other like toddlers and they were kind of like “uhh- this is weird.” And then they decided to be friends because it was some kid’s birthday which made Shayla cry because her kid never HAD a birthday because it died inside of her And Izi had to be the peacekeeper because everyone else was so dysfunctional. So then they found Armasia and these funny elf people told them that they were prophesized to rule Armasia and then gave them tea and Riddle was like “hahahahahahaha” and then they went back to earth and continued life as awesome shifter people who find things that come out of Armasia and say “go back in there right now” and then one day they went in there and the bad guys were getting really bad so the A peeps gathered an army- RAWR- and fought the bad guys and ruled as kings and queens which is a really scary thought to think of Izi as queen but that’s what happened. Then they were like immortal and they lived for a long long long long long long long time and then they were like “hey, let’s go do other stuff” so they lived in different places for a long time until they met up in earth and were happy to be together even though they were super old and Izi used a walker and chewed on random stuff with her gums because her teeth were gone because that’s what happens when you’re 14,000 years old. Then the S peeps found them and were like “save us!” so they did and they died but they were happy. The End.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
OHKAY. Well. WOW. Uh...
I CUT MY HAIR!!
Like....by myself. And I...love it. But it could be the adrenaline still RUSHING through my blood. No....I LOVE IT. And I don't care what anyone else says. I adore it. And I promise I will continue to adore it, since...I did this to myself and well...it would kind of stink if I went to all this trouble and then hated it anyway. Well. WOW. I loveit.
Well...I was feeling really depressed...and it's kind of a long story, anyways, I was feeling more depressed then I usually am about my hair and I had just washed it and it was curly except for the last two inches...which were rod iron straight. Well, that bugged me so I covered the straight part with my hands and thought about how it would look short. And...to me, it looked good. So....I...hesitantly...cut it. And screamed. How could I have done such a thing? I felt like Rapunzel in Tangled..."This is the best bay ever!!" and then "I am a dispicable human being". And well...since I already cut off a huge chunk...nothing for it but to cut the rest!! So I did. Thankfully, it's pretty even, and I like it soooo WIN.
I have never felt happier about my hair in this moment. I've been fantasising about chopping it ALL off before...but this is better. Now, I don't know what you guys will think...and that's OK. You don't have to like it. :) But I do. And...aah!! I'm all shaky. Little JJ is all supportive. HE likes it. :) haha. Ok. Well. Wow. Cool. Awesome. Can't wait to see you guys!!!
I shmuv you all!!
_A
P.S> Oh! Look! I can put up a picture! Cool!
P.S.S I know it's been this short before..but I forgot how much I loved it! I do look younger though... :)

Life
Hehe, I've just had an extraordinary great day. It has hit me that in 10, ten, ten , TEN days I will be sixteen. Since the others have already crossed this milestone, I look at this with eager vigor because, as Brook thinks often(but never happens to her), I will be has old as them(well... mostly...). ;D I have the feeling you get when just getting the tiniest sniff of a beautiful smell, I can taste freedom on my tongue. The ability to grab a pair of keys and go somewhere without having to thirty minutes preparing to get everyone/thing in the car so i can leave twenty minutes later will be so foreign and amazing, I'm looking forward to it like my dog begs for a rawhide.
In other great news of today, the library has a wealth of comic books and I'm pretty much in heaven just looking them all up and seeing what they have. hehehe.
Ok, and the final and best news is I'm going to prom with Amanda. (K, I promise she'll return non the worse for wear, I'm not stealing her from you ;) ). I have been feeling really, really down because, as i explained in my post a while ago (I think...)I'm planning prom and everyone planning it was going with someone (most good friends, a few full on legit dates) and,from my best estimation, I was the only one who didn't. well, today Amanda dropped by and officially asked me to go to prom with her :)
Today was ten times better then I thought it would be. I wrote my essays last night and only had to edit them today. Church was great. I'm going to be 16 in 10 days. I'm going to prom with Amanda. Today was WIN!

Tangled
It's the most adorable movie ever. Almost. Except for Totoro.
And it has amazing music- better than Totoro. And I love it. A lot. And own it. So as Ryan would say, "WIN".

EPIC.
Yesterday was...amazing. Baisically. We went to see Source Code (LOVE). And then I came home and watched Tangled for the first time, which was super cute and kind of surprisingly intense at the end. Aaand then I watched Bones, the one where the Grave Digger captures Booth and puts him on a giant navy ship that is rigged to blow up. So then I was really exhausted. That many amazing, epic movies in one day is almost unbearable. Almost.
...so yeah. Source Code was beyond words.
Chemistry blows. I hate it.
I WANNA GO CAMPING.
I bought face wash pads today and they came with chapstick. I win! And I bought a new shirt. And preschoolers have WAY too much energy on Sunday mornings.
It's like no matter what I type on here my mind keeps going back to Jake Gyllenhaal...
Ok bye.

Justin and the B Peeps
Once upon a time…there was Justin. And he was a freak, but in a good way. And when he first met his cousin Andy he bit him on the ear and Andy was like ‘waaahhh!’ because they were babies and then they were older and Andy was like “dude, this kid is beast” and Justin was like “hey, I could do so many experiments on him” so they were bffs. And then they lived together and they were like brothers and then there was Taylor because who wouldn’t want to hang out with Justin? And then Andy was gone because he had to go fight bad guys like Indiana Jones except not really because he was in the army and he wasn’t afraid of snakes or looking for ancient artifacts. And then Taylor and Justin were still friends…………and then Andy was back but he was all messed up but then he was better and he was like “oh my gosh Justin has friends” and so he was friends with Taylor because you have to respect somebody who is friends with Justin for that long. And then there was Kayla and she was housesitting for Taylor because Taylor was her cousin and I don’t know she probably asked her to or something or whatever but Andy and Justin were housesitting too because they can because they know where Taylor’s key is so Kayla freaked out because she has a man problem so she locked them in the closet with the brooms and called 911 but before the cops could take them away Taylor was like “wait…oops” so it was all good. Except is wasn’t because Kayla still didn’t like them but then they slowly all became friends and they all became obsessed with the idea that an ancient myth of the civilization of Bryazoa was still out there somewhere. What nerds. So they spent all their free time researching it in the library and at their house because they all lived together which is slightly awkward but how would we know that? And then they went on epic adventures to find the missing pages and did cool stuff like Indiana Jones again and Andy was like “hey, this is familiar” and then they went to Peru and Justin was snoring and screeching funny sounds and Taylor was like “shut up” but then these creepy tribes guys were like “no YOU shut up” but they didn’t actually say that because they don’t speak English. So they took the b peeps to their home which was Bryazoa and the B peeps were like “yaaay” and they started talking in Bryazonian and the Bryazonians were like “hey, these guys can speak out language, let’s give them magical water” and so the water made the B Peeps special magic scars glow and the Bryazonians were like “THE CHOSEN ONES!” and then they lived there for a little while but the Bryazonians were sick so the B Peeps went home and searched for a doctor trustworthy to handle a trip through the Andes with Justin because Justin is a lot to handle when he is excited and they found one named Steve, or maybe he was named something else but Justin called him Steve, who helped find a cure for the Bryazonians sickness and fell in love with a native and lived happily ever after but the B Peeps had to go home and when they tried to come back they couldn’t because it was like Narnia so once they saved Bryazoa they couldn’t go back unless summoned or whatever weird stuff like that…so yeah. They went home and stuff. The End.

In which, that all has been before, I write...
WOW. Can you believe we started this in December? 2009?! Wow. We were so young!! haha. ;P
Well, anyway, I decided to post something, since I hardly do, and I figured I'd better get my share done. :)
Well, not much to talk about, sadly. So I will speak whatever comes to my mind. How's that sound?
Oh goodness....this can't be goo-
Once....and only once, there was a musly old man. And he was oldly, though kind, at once. And all he did, though for to find the day that he did not, he was often found staring, quite plainly in his manner, at a rather large and unkempt mold of branches and leaves. Of course, this was just a bush. But, in the fact that all things will and will not be in entirely, the ways in which he looked at such a bush, made it all the more, if not less and extremely so, another. Why, in that place which he found himself residing, that of course was not where others were, he had not much to occupy himself with. This oldly, musly old man was, in fact, very particular to that bush of his, which lounged quite comfortably in his neatly, never-growing yard of grass, dirt, stone, and ruggle. Of course, in that time of when all was never as it seemed, he couldn't be quite certain what it was. But, with hardly an idea to this, it was, just in fact, a bush. The scraggly, twisted, yet stunning, bush stared at the oldly man with contemplation. He was, at those moments and in all moments of his, quite fond of this oldly man, sitting, staring, his eyes narrowed like a shallow canyon of water and clay. The sun, like all its days, passed them overhead, waving a breezy, if not welcome, hello before parting untoldy behind the thick mountains of Yul. The man, oldy, yet kind, and the bush, twisted, yet stunning, watched eachother until, in that passing day that all much to be will come to, died.
The End.
Well. Wow. that was interesting.
IN OTHER NEWS.....
Source Code comes out soon YAY! And we're hoping to see the premiere. It's got Jake G in it *giggle*. So yeah. Teehee YAY! Hopefully!! dn <- My little brother did that. He wasn't looking, and pressed two buttons. I'm itching for a new Halo game, I've been getting up earlier, school stinks, S's teachers give her way too much homework, K's teachers give her wierd books to read, M's teachers....teacher her stuff...(I hope). Batman still rocks (duh) and JJ got a bow and arrows for his B -day - whoa boy! Watch it! That should be interesting. My dog is adorable, my socks are dirty, I need to make my life more exciting, we're going to do tons of hikes this summer (finger's crossed) and S will be able to drive!!! Herself...
Well. Wow. Ok, I guess I'm done. :) Today my mind fast-whirled to the future in a desperate attempt to skyrocket my happiness. I thought that May was next month and that we'd be going camping this weekend......
*SIGH* No such luck.
Wow.

Eva and the Shifters
Once upon a time…there was Eva. And she was beautiful. And her last name rhymed with her first name. Eva Consuela. Ha. And she had 4 million siblings and two parents because it would be weird if she had more than two parents and her family didn’t have enough money so they were like “GO WORK” and she was like “ok” so she ran to work because she is super-fast like a cheetah except not just LIKE a cheetah, A CHEETAH because she was a shifter. And then she met Austin and she was like “hey, this guy is cool” and he was like “Hey, she’s fast.” So they were bffs. And then she met Solomon and he was like “RRRAAWWWRRR” and he beat all these guys up like a beast and she was like “dude, what the heck?” and he was like “whatever” because he is too cool to talk to other people. So then he went to stay in Austin’s inn and she saw him there and was like super curious because she is also a squirrel and because you’d have to be curious about somebody who beats people up like that. In the rain. So then they met Leviathan and he was all calm and cool and they were like ‘hey, this guy is cool”. And then these bad people came and arrested Solomon and Austin and Leviathan and then Leviathan escaped and went to Eva and was like “let’s rescue Austin!” and he puffed out his chest like Superman and she was like “Yeah.” So they did. And then Austin and Leviathan left but Eva had to stay behind to make money for her 4 million siblings. Then Solomon showed up and Eva was like “WHAT THE HECK! I AM SO ANGRY AT YOU.” And he was like “I’m sorry, where’s Austin?” and she was like “They left” and he was like “NO!!!!!!” so they went to save them and then they found them and they realized how bad the bad people because they hurt Leviathan even though he is a lion and then the bad people were trying to break into earth and Solomon was like “that’s bad” so they tried to shut down the portals but the A Peeps were like “HEY! Don’t do that.” So they didn’t and then there was a price on Solomon’s head and Eva was like “MONEY!!!” so she was going to turn him in but Shayla was like “Don’t do that….” So she didn’t. Then they were looking for them in earth and they found them and they were like “bad people are doing bad things….come help us.” And the a peeps were like “ok” so they saved the day but sacrificed themselves because they are so noble and the s peeps were like “nooo…” but they got over it and lived happily ever after. The End.

The Story of Titus and the E Peeps
Once upon a time…there was Titus. And he was amazing and solo but then he met Darius and he was like “WHOAAAA!” and then they were like “GRRR!” and then they were like “Oh, hey, I like you, ok…” And then Indigo was all like “LET ME LIVE HERE” and they were like “ok”. And then they lived there, and there was on the island and they were all pretty cool…but especially Titus because he is so misunderstood and he looks like Jeremy Camp. Win. And then they went to town for some unknown stupid reason and then Indigo saw Brook and she was like “WHOAAA!” and Darius was like “Duuuude…” and Titus was like “ew”. But then they all lived happily ever after on the island. Just kidding. Cuz they didn’t. Then there was Slater and he was super evil and he was like “Give me your powers so I can be powerful…muahah.” And they were like “Uh-ha-I don’t THINK so” so he was all like Phantom and was like “Then…let it be war upon you BOTH!” And by both he meant all because there’s four of them. So then he was all evil and torturing them and they were like “ouch!” but then they forgot about each other until one magical day when they all went on a boat and saw each other and Titus was like “BROOK!” and Brook was like “TITUS!” and she cried because it was so emotional to see him again because he is amazing. And then the boat went by their island and they went there and lived happily ever after like super heroes. Then end.

Adventure for a living
Heyyy.
Last night me and A and M went to the Banff Mountain Film Festival (holy cow you coul totally figure out where we lived based off of that information...creepy) and it was good! As usual. Haha.
And as usual, we decided that we should do more amazing adventurous things. And the brilliant plan is: Not go to college, get a job at REI and get discounts off of gear, then take a little time off each year and do something epic. Then when people ask us what we do for a living we can say "ADVENTURE". Haha.
..OR, we could go to college and try to save up enough to do some cool trips :) I think we settled on an extended hikking trip in the Sierra Mountains (Yay John Muir!)
So yeah. That's it.

+1 life expirence
Well, hello all!
Duess what?? I finally have something to talk about on here!! Isn’t this exciting?!? Haha Just kidding!!! I’ll let someone else tell the Phantom story, for I truly do have another to tell.
Anyways… as the title says, I feel I have done something slightly risky and have had a totally knew experience. Thus, +1 for life experience in S’s world. ;D As you all probably know, today I had that all day drivers coarse classroom portion thing, starting at 8:30 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon, lunch NOT included. This, being my first real foray into the complete unknown, not expecting to know anybody was very intimidating and I felt vulnerable, but yet, confidant. Well, thankfully Keelie was there, so we talked when we could, but we were not able to sit with each other. This gave me the opportunity to sit between two people that I did not know all. A guy and a girl, both around my age.
During the course of the next four hours this boy talked to me a lot. His name was Todd and he was very friendly, respectful and inquisitive. It became kind of hinted at toward the beginning that he might have been flirting with me. Anyways, once it was lunch time, he asked me where I was going to have lunch, I told him, then went to talk to Keelie. Keelie and I talked for a little while, and then walked over to Arbeys for lunch. Todd showed up in line behind us a minute later. He ate lunch with us where I found out a lot of stuff (if curious, call me). To make a long story short, we continued to talk after the class was over and he asked for my cell phone number so he could text me. I was feeling very confused but decided that I’d take a risk and I gave it to him. Da, da, dumm…. So, we’ll see.
But the real reason I feel so happy about this whole thing is that a guy ( I am know completely sure) flirted with me and I was wearing a regular tee-shirt and jeans, hardly any makeup and did nothing special to my hair. Who knows, I will probably not ever see him again, it might have been a God thing, reminding me of who He made me, that we ARE his children and he loves me, and all of us.
You are all beautiful, Love,
~S

Basket Weaving and Seal Translation
Hahahaha, who put seal translation down as our occupation? :P hilarious. I own at that. But unfortunately, I'm not paid for it.
And also, Tenth Avenue North isn't listed in our favorite music...we should fix that.

Bestest Friends ever.
Basically I know the best, most awesome, amazing, talented, blessed, people ever. I am surrounded by them on all sides. Two days ago was Valentines Day and I was feeling really depressed. Sunday night I was up until 3 doing homework. wait... lets back up a little and I'll tell the story.
A week and a half ago:
My parents 18th anniversary was the 13th (the day before Valentines Day) and my dad usually tries hard to make it an epic weekend for my mom. So, for the first time ever, my parents decided that I was old enough to stay in the house alone, by my self with R(my sister). They would be gone for two days. But they wanted my friends to come over so R and I wouldn't be alone. Fair enough. I was slightly elated to say the least.
Here comes my first praise to all my wonderful friends. Now most parents, when going away for a weekend, will say "No parties, don't have anyone over, you hear?" But my parents didn't do that. They said "hey, your fiends are responsible, why not have them over while we're gone?" (real quote!) .
Back to the story...
That Friday I had a Prom planning meeting(BTW, I AM planning the High School Prom 2011, its all very exciting.) and friend J is on the team, so my parents drive us there and back. J and I had an awesome time and lots of stuff was decided it was great! Lots of laughs and memories were made in those few hours :)Thanks J!
Going back to my parents praise and weekend alone: thus was devised this amazing evening of watching Justice League and everyone getting to know a new friend of mine, C(who's real name begins in a K but that's K's... so.... yeah.). R and I had soooo much fun! (She is still asking to watch Justice League even though we don't have it.) Saturday was fun too. R and I watched JL with A and K most of he day, then after they left, we took a small break got all of R's homework done then went back to watching JL while we cleaned up. haha. A root beer float and a few more J L's later R went to bed and I set off to do my homework. Well that did not go to far and I was left to do all of it on Sunday. Well at 2:30 I had study group because of a HUGE biology test that Monday. We studied for two hours and then went home. Rachel got upset because my parents decided to hold off on the special dinner we usually give them for a night(Valentines day is still a special occasion) so that I could get all of my home work done. It was 6 o'clock and I hadn't done any homework. This was a problem. That is why I was up until 3 that night....
Monday(Valentines day) was just horrible. I hadn't looked back over my Biology and Chris(Geometry teacher) got mad at us because the tests we had taken the week before was an epic fail, so he assigned a very significant amount of homework due the next meeting. I already knew I had a lot to do(usually I try to do Wednesdays homework over the weekend, but (for obvious reasons) that did not happen)and an essay was part of that work load along with lots of Government(which is a minimum of 5 hours work on a good day). So I was swamped, ridiculously tired and felt horrible. What do you do when you feel swamped and melancholy? Put it on facebook of course! haha. :) So that's what I did. K noticed my less then chipper mood and did something about it. She wrote me a poem!!! So, with her permission here it is:
My best friend’s name is Sarah
We like to call her Sabrah, because she is cherished.
There are no probras about Sabrah’s personality,
Indeed she has quite a flare.
But if you see any probras, if you dare,
Then you had better bring it up with Barak Obabra. And he’ll eat you.
My best friend’s name is Sarah. She likes to talk a lot.
She talks and talks and giggles and sings, to people and dogs and cats and things.
She talks with her voice and she talks with her hands,
Whichever one the situation demands.
My best friend’s name is Sarah.
She’s really pretty cool.
She always is there to comfort me
Even when I look like a fool.
She’s cheerful and wonderful and the most selfless person I know
And if you take one look at her you can see that it shows.
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and Sarah was feeling blue.
So I wrote her this poem, to make her day feel new!
I hope that it makes her smile, and feel like running a mile.
Because my best friend’s name is Sarah
And I love her very much
And I hope she knows that by being there
My heart she always will touch.
She totally made my day and I love her soo much for doing it!
So now I'm happy and feel like I'm back a new person all thanks to my friends. :)
ALL this to say I have amazing friends and I really don't deserve them. I want to write so much more, a few more stories I want to tell about how amazing these people are, but I have to go, so I'll(hopefully) get to tell them later :)
Love you all!!!

P.S. K, you were right, I DO write really long posts...
A week and a half ago:
My parents 18th anniversary was the 13th (the day before Valentines Day) and my dad usually tries hard to make it an epic weekend for my mom. So, for the first time ever, my parents decided that I was old enough to stay in the house alone, by my self with R(my sister). They would be gone for two days. But they wanted my friends to come over so R and I wouldn't be alone. Fair enough. I was slightly elated to say the least.
Here comes my first praise to all my wonderful friends. Now most parents, when going away for a weekend, will say "No parties, don't have anyone over, you hear?" But my parents didn't do that. They said "hey, your fiends are responsible, why not have them over while we're gone?" (real quote!) .
Back to the story...
That Friday I had a Prom planning meeting(BTW, I AM planning the High School Prom 2011, its all very exciting.) and friend J is on the team, so my parents drive us there and back. J and I had an awesome time and lots of stuff was decided it was great! Lots of laughs and memories were made in those few hours :)Thanks J!
Going back to my parents praise and weekend alone: thus was devised this amazing evening of watching Justice League and everyone getting to know a new friend of mine, C(who's real name begins in a K but that's K's... so.... yeah.). R and I had soooo much fun! (She is still asking to watch Justice League even though we don't have it.) Saturday was fun too. R and I watched JL with A and K most of he day, then after they left, we took a small break got all of R's homework done then went back to watching JL while we cleaned up. haha. A root beer float and a few more J L's later R went to bed and I set off to do my homework. Well that did not go to far and I was left to do all of it on Sunday. Well at 2:30 I had study group because of a HUGE biology test that Monday. We studied for two hours and then went home. Rachel got upset because my parents decided to hold off on the special dinner we usually give them for a night(Valentines day is still a special occasion) so that I could get all of my home work done. It was 6 o'clock and I hadn't done any homework. This was a problem. That is why I was up until 3 that night....
Monday(Valentines day) was just horrible. I hadn't looked back over my Biology and Chris(Geometry teacher) got mad at us because the tests we had taken the week before was an epic fail, so he assigned a very significant amount of homework due the next meeting. I already knew I had a lot to do(usually I try to do Wednesdays homework over the weekend, but (for obvious reasons) that did not happen)and an essay was part of that work load along with lots of Government(which is a minimum of 5 hours work on a good day). So I was swamped, ridiculously tired and felt horrible. What do you do when you feel swamped and melancholy? Put it on facebook of course! haha. :) So that's what I did. K noticed my less then chipper mood and did something about it. She wrote me a poem!!! So, with her permission here it is:
My best friend’s name is Sarah
We like to call her Sabrah, because she is cherished.
There are no probras about Sabrah’s personality,
Indeed she has quite a flare.
But if you see any probras, if you dare,
Then you had better bring it up with Barak Obabra. And he’ll eat you.

Bruise
I have a bruise on my knee
and this fact has filled me with glee.
I slipped and fell but I feel quite well
because this tale I now can tell.
I slipped and fell in the driveway
just at the end of the day,
I dropped my purse which made me curse...except not really.
I slipped and fell in the driveway
and now my knee hurts to touch,
yet for some reason I continue to do it anyway.
The End.

P.S.
I am considering mutany and taking over this blog unless someone else decides to say something...anything at all...really.

Valentines Day
It's me...again.
At my school the swing choir does a fundraiser for valentines day. They sell singing valentines for $10 a piece and you can buy them for people and then the choir goes to their class and sings to them. And I got one today!! :D It made me very happy. They sang "Kiss the Girl" from the Little Mermaid. So cute! That's all...

Justice League
Friday night we all spent the night at S's house with her little sister (R) and her other friend K...but we will call her C because she isn't allowed to steal my letter. Anyway, she brought her seasons of Justice League and we watched that...a lot. And it was baisically amazing. Like, a lot. :)
So yeah...that's all I have to say, I'm just waiting for some one else to say something....anything really. Anything at all.

Kbye.
Hahaha! Ok, I supose I will elaborate a little more than that. The trip was great, I really like that school but will most likely never be able to afford to go there...so yeah. Hm.
It was nice to just get outside and breath, I am counting the weeks until Mother's Day Camping (13). We did lots of fun stuff with E (A's sister) and we got to visit my sisters and my cousin which was very fun for me. We made a new children's nature show...I'm pretty excited about it.
Let's see, what else...Moose Munch chocolate bars are the best thing that was ever created...I learned how to change a flat tire, college is going to be so much more amazing than highschool, I can understand Spanish way more than politics, Seattle is amazing, people do weird thigns for "art", I like bookstores with cats in them, and yeah. That's about all the information you need probably...except that Batman is the best superhero. And I wish I had my very own Totoro.
What a stupid bucket...ha!!
Alrighty, seeeeee you later!
Oh- there has been a new edition to my family. Chuckanuka. He's pretty cool. I baisically have to hide his face because everytime I see it a burst out laughing and can't concentrate.

Hm.
Soooo...we've been doing all sorts of fun stuff that just...hasn't been posted. :P
We went sledding on the mile long hill and make our own AWESOME journals at M's sister's house and we...did other stuff too.
This past weekend we found out some pretty horrifying truths about the facts of life. For real. You never know what you might find at S's house.
Me and A finally finished our story (46 pages) and let M and S read it.
I am at school...I haven't been paying attention to anything today :P My mind is all fuzzy. And I would like to go and talk to A but I don't think she is here because it's not even 2:30 yet...lalala. I like Bones. Not like actual Bones, the TV show.
I lay dying in a pool of broken dreams... :P Just kidding.
Ok I'm leaving.

Theatre Life
Well, it's not going how I expected.
Don't get me wrong, I like it enough, but it will definitely take time getting used to the way things work. It's pretty tough on me, and I wake up every day feeling like I need to throw up, and I spend about an hour trying to think of an excuse to not go. But then I DO go, and I feel TONS better afterward.
So, mostly, this is a "please pray" post. I'm getting really nervous, and I hate feeling like my insides are going to implode every. single. day. I'm praying and reading my Bible more (part of a little promise I made with myself this year) and I listen to Tenth Avenue North in the car on the way to rehearsals, but I can't seem to grasp that peace and "okay-ness" that I'm searching for.
I just want to go act and feel confident doing it.
So yeah. There's my bit. This is where I'm at. Now, do your awesome stuff and make me feel better. :)
