Harry James Potter

In light of it being his special day, I feel it's appropriate for him to be the subject of this post. I love him, really. If someone had killed my parents, I don't think I would be able to face them like Harry faces Voldemort. He's a loyal friend, to Ron, Hermione, and me. Look upon his eyes, stunning. I think of the quote by Charles Dickens, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..". When I love life, Harry is usually in the mix somewhere. When it seems like it's me against the world, this boy is a comfort. The word "fiction" doesn't ever apply here. WWHD? What would Harry do? Happy birthday to this handsome bloke.

i saw 3 shooting stars tonight

We made a fire and toasted mallows to perfection. Then we laid in the grass trying to find the little dipper and making shapes out of dark clouds. It was nice and peaceful, star gazing is a favorite. I wonder if anybody else made a wish on the same shooting stars as I did, or who was watching the same sattelite move across the sky. God's creations are breathtaking. I love the world.

I really really really really really really really really really really wanna go to Harry Potter World. Really bad.

My mom eats sardines and baby food prunes for dinner.

Next week is Castle Valley pageant, and I can't wait.

I finally finished this awesome huge bad mother bracelet. It rocks.

I want school, now.

Inception sounds good, and people rave about it. I guess I should see it then. Along with Charlie St. Cloud.

Swimming has never sounded better.

I believe Jessie and I are the same person, really.

My hammock broke. I want to cry.

See this babe?

She was the.... Young womens president!

a.k.a. Miss Utah.

Have a good fry-day.

hooray!

Shout out goes to:

Jessie! Thanks for making my day. Jessie is super cool guys, and funny too. She has perfect teeth and a personality to match. Check out her awesome blog, it's the kind of stuff you like to read.

7 things you never needed to know:

uno- I often have incredibly blond moments. I've been working on it.

dos- My favorite place ever is my roof. I go up there to read, write in my journal, or watch the sunset. It's nice.

tres- I'm terrified of aquatic life. Underwater creatures make me squirm.

cuatro- I have a middle name, it's name is Genevieve. (Jen-uh-veev)

cinco- If I don't have my cellphone with me or something with the time I get twitchy and impatient. It's a bad habit.

sies- When I was little, I read "Hello, Mother Goose" 12 times. With my gigantic stuffed animal polar bear.

siete- I can sometimes sing like a black person. Not very well, but I get the whole soul grunt in there.

These three deserve it:

Simple thoughts by Syd. Best friend. Her blog is easy to relate to.

Letters from me. She dedicated a post just to me. Shelb's a sweetheart.

You kinda had to be there. Kassie's sarcastic sense of humor is exactly like mine, so we get along well. She's neat.

Love is a many splendid thing

Pretty Little Liars.

These four girls are the only thing I have to look forward to during the week.

Jenna is so creepy, when she took her sunglasses off.. I screamed.

Aria is really edgy. I like her. And Ezra. Together.

Spencer is always angry, and Alex (her boy) gives off bad vibes. But she has the cutest clothes. I'd like to have the closet of Spencer.

Hannah is a brat mostly, but her and Lucas are cute.

And Emily........... we won't speak about her infatuation with Maya. SICK.

I can't even wait for next week!

But guess what, I already know who "A" is and who killed Alison.

Cuz I read the books.

It's insane!

Also, Happy 100th Post!!

E.S.S.P.

Happy Pioneer Day!... Yesterday!

females, look here

There's this guy, Chad Franz, who takes pictures.
Good pictures.

He does a little bit of these:

Does a good number of these:


And does a whole lot of these:

I like her dress, her red nails, and the puffy white decorations.

Here is his blog.

spotlight saturday.

So I decided every saturday I'm going to put up a picture of somebody and talk about how awesome they are. Kinda inspired by Megan's "hero of the day", thanks beb. Anyways, if you like this person too and have something to add, please do! So without further ado, here's

Ammon Edward Packer

This kid is awesome in every way. He doesn't care what other people think about him if he's being himself and having fun. His standards are set way high and he doesn't settle for anything less than that. He took me to Sweethearts and was such a gentleman. When he hit the dance floor, there was no stopping him. He looks good in green, and keeps his GPA in tip top shape during school. His testimony is so strong, he was even brave enough to stand in front of everyone at a combined seminary assembly and bear it. It was so cool to hear about his experience reading the Book of Mormon and to hear him testify about it. Sometimes he makes really good dinosaur noises. He's basically the 3rd brother I never had. He's real friendly, so if you want to get to know him, go for it. Ammon is, dare I say, the shiz.

my mind thinks that

Spanish kids are cool. Yesterday for a mutual activity we had a BBQ and played volleyball. This one kid, Inigo, basically played with his feet and head the whole time. His serve was a bicycle kick, that's all you need to know. "Who won the world cup?" Another boy named Ebai 6 packed me (spiked one right at my face). It was awesome.

Summer rain showers are refreshing. Especially at night. My little brother and I danced and splashed around in the rain a couple nights ago. When it started thundering and lightening struck, we sat safely on our porch. I love when it's a monkey's wedding too, when it's raining and sunny at the same time.

My room is awesome. I hated my room 1 month ago, and now I love it. I completely redid everything. Repainted my mirror frame, dressers, and bed frame. I got a cute comforter from ikea, and reorganized my clothes and belongings. It's not like those rooms you see in home decor magazines, but it's cute. Pictures to come soon.

I hate makeup. I love the freedom of being able to rub your eye without worrying about your eyelashes sticking together or your eyeliner smearing. This is the life. I basically only wear make up for church and nights out. It's nice.

Humans are annoying. Not all the time, but there are some things that irk me. When people, mostly girls, fish for compliments. "I look SO fat". Okay. First off, your like 100 pounds. And everyone and their dog knows I'm going to say, "No your so skinny!". Or the old "No, I'm not good looking. Nobody will ever like me" manuver. What can I say? "Your right."? Another one is too many smiley faces. :) :) :) :) :). See how unnecessary that was?

Being a teenager rocks. Staying up until 2 every night and sleeping in 'till 11 every morning. Getting tan (or freckled in my case) and going swimming. Not having to be responsible really. High school, I like it more that most.

candwich.

Yummy!

Canned sandwich anyone?

I really really want to go to Tahiti, thanks Bachelorette.

Where do you really really wanna go?

food+bugs= nasty

I have 3 instances where the little creatures dwelled where they are not welcome-- food.

#1- It all started when we went on a Wendy's takeout run. 2 side ceaser salads por favor. My sister was eating one of them and started freaking out. There, nestled right between 2 pieces of lettuce, was a ladybug. GAG. My mom seriously considered driving back there and giving all of Wendy's a piece of her mind.

#2- Brigham City softball tournaments call for Wingers, obviously. A handful of girls met up there and ordered some delish salads. My good fwen, Robyn, was just about to eat what seemed like a pristine bite of sticky finger salad when she spotted a squished orange ladybug. Another one? So she got a new, free salad plus 2 asphault pies. Still, gross.

#3- Instance three happened today. Who loves blackberries? Lisa does. I was sitting outside thoroughly enjoying the weather and picking berries. One was seriously inches from going in my mouth when I saw something wiggling in there. AN EARWIG LEAPED ON TO MY FINGER! I almost lost it.

Now, I can't really eat much without inspecting every bite. Curses. Maybe I'm not the only one?

potato, patato, tomato, tamato

money bags

I made $67 dollars in the past 2 days and let me tell you, I earned it.

In the process I ruined a perfectly good white t-shirt when the baby who's bottom was covered in poop decided to jump on me, and the 3 year old boy spit kool-aid at me. Then laughed.

When one would scream, all would scream.

Kicking, punching, biting, scratching, and throwing your shoes and sippy cups at the babysitter is obviously how these chillins roll. And I've heard the words "Shut up", ''You're stupid" and "I hate you" to last the next 4 years. My arms are going to fall off from pushing them on the swings for a total of 2 hours in the middle of the day. I don't mean to whine, but they were relentless.

No mercy, no respect, non-stop.

Babysitting is fun guys.

the simpler days when

We knew every word to every Hillary Duff song and listened to the Backstreet Boys 24/7. Anyone else have a walkman? Mine was red.


In third grade we made houses for our potato bugs then realized they had families somewhere, so we let them all go.


Conversations on weekends with your Mom went like this:

"Mom, can I have a sleepover?"
"No"
"Well then can I have a late night?"


We'd play dead man, crack the egg, and have knee wars on trampolines 'till our legs ached with soreness and our knees were bleeding.


School was a breeze. Homework consisted of adding, subtracting, and spelling words like "friend" and "outdoors"


All boys had cooties, yet you secretely liked someone but couldn't tell your friends cause, well, he had cooties. So you were mean to him.


Making new friends was easy as 1,2,3. You'd just invite them over to play bratz.


We had Cheetah Girl parties and got dibs on who we wanted to be in the movie. I always wanted Chanel, but Dorinda would do.


Taking naps was as appealing as going shopping.


Holding hands or a kiss on the cheek was SO scandelous. You couldn't let your Mom find out.


Night games every night. Be there. You bring the can to kick.

Life was muy grand.

free at last.

I spent too much time doing nothing, so it's gone for good.

Hallelujah.

music music music

VENUS INFERS

These guys are really catchy. They kind of have an 80's vibe to them, it's rad. My favorite song is 'London's Raining'

Check 'em out.

PILLARS OF SILENCE

I only know one song, 'Guilty Hands'. It'd go well on the Juno soundtrack probably. This is indie rock at it's best.

I think they are good.

INTRICATE MACHINES
They've kinda got old-ish sounding music too, like the whole vibrato thing going on. They have a real great sound. Go on, look them up.
(listen to 'Try Something Else')

BELAIRE
'You Really Got Me Goin''
Love it. You'll be humming it all day, they are neat.

2AM CLUB

Definitely one of my favorites. I guarantee a lot of people won't like them, but if you like them, you'll really like them. They've got a little bit of everthing in them. Give them a chance.

*Some songs may sound like The Backstreet Boys, just sayin.

If none of these fill your musical cravings, well, there's always Lady Gaga.

one fine day with a woof and a purr

Today I found an old VHS with 4 recorded episodes of this on there

and I felt like a 10 year old again.

I even sang along with the theme song! It was SO great.

schoo-el

I can't wait for school to start. Gross huh? Not for the waking up earlier than necessary and homework portion of it all, but for the social aspect and actually having something to do. Football games. Dances. Lunch time. Softball class. Making new friends and seeing old ones. Assemblies. Pageants. Talent show. All the inside jokes made during math hour.
I'll probably love it for the first 2 weeks then get senioritis like every other 12th grader, but for now it sounds pretty nice.

Thank goodness this year:

-KP doesn't teach calculus
-We're gonna "rule the school"
-It's our last year
-Seminary as a senior will be awesome
-John Kurtz will no longer creep on me


It kinda blows that D Lloyd and Dallin Major are peacing out of there. Who am I going to have a stalker crush on now? No, really, I've asked myself who's going to be the "D Lloyd" of our grade and I can't think of anybody. It also sucks that we can't sleep in for the UBSCT anymore.

I'm so ready to be a senior.

AP shmaypee.

guess who got a 1 on their AP Biology test?

this girl.

heck yeah!

get a life lise

I usually can find things to do with my spare time, but look at this list of things i've been doing lately and tell me i'm not a loser.

-reading 3 hours a day
-watching disney channel for long periods of time
-making bracelets to the point where my fingers cramp up
-stalking people online
-playing volleyball... inside. (yeah, it doesn't work)
-taking frequent cat naps. with my cat.

lahu-sahur.

the only cool thing i've managed to do in the past couple of days is see the movie Date Night at 11 in the p.m.. it was mildly inappropriate, but still fetchin hilarious. maybe i'll start doing stuff with my life tomorrow.. or next week..

Espana vive lo!

two words:

Puyol's hair.

it should be insured.

I couldn't help it

I was reading the Goblet of Fire earlier and laughed out loud when I read this:


"'Can't house-elves speak their minds about their masters, then?' Harry asked
'Oh, no, sir, no' said Dobby, looking suddenly serious. 'Tis part of the house-elf's enslavement, sir. We keeps their secrets and our silence, sir, we upholds the family's honour, and we never speaks ill of them- though Professor Dumbledore said we is free to- to-'
Dobby lookes suddenly nervous, and beckoned Harry closer. Harry bent forwards.
Dobby whispered, 'He said we is free to call him a- a barmy old codger if we likes, sir!'
Dobby gave a frightened sort of giggle."

I went to Ephriam and came back with

13 mosquito bites

stiff limbs

a milkshake from the "famous malt shop"

2 new friends

a newfound love for boys who prep fields

and....

a dog tag.

yep, that's what you get for taking 3rd place at the Sanpete Shoot Out.

you're never fully dressed without a smile!

some things that have made me smile recently:

waking up from a long nap, black shorts, the Gospel, easy cheese, Cole, smoothies, summer nights, making up handshakes, movies, Robyn, when my cats catch grasshoppers, snap peas, tents, Ryan, miss moo goo, hotels, swimming pools, pickles, Syd, stuffed coyotes, first kisses, making bracelets, sunburns, the smell of sunscreen, Sonic ice, girl talks, sitting on Wob's porch, long car rides, the smell of wet softball dirt, Allred, headbands, girls camp, turning my phone off, D-I-N-O-S-A you are a dinosaur!, my ipod, and this picture

demon fire

last night me and Sydnee decided to have a fire.

her little brother failed at starting it and we were no good so we just sat there watching the lonely wood. then I stared real hard at it, kinda like Matilda would.

all of a sudden.. WHOOSH

the fire started by itself. and honey, it was the best darn fire I've ever seen.

I learned something about myself and Syd that night..

we are fire benders.

JACOB?!?!

I went and saw Eclipse today.

I really liked all the music, especially the 1st couple songs.

The new bad boy vampire is sooo good looking.

Victoria is extremely pretty with her bouncy ginger head, even with those creepy red eyes

and Jacob said some funny lines

"I kissed Bella..... and she broke her hand..... punching my face"

(to Edward) "just face it.. I am hotter than you"

tehe

Other than that, it was a red-box kinda movie to me
