"that's funny," thought horton, "there's no one around."

Mood: I'm okay. I've been bored all week.
Listening To: Seussical the Musical (Yes, I'm stuck on musicals.)
Reading: Nothing. I finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which could have been better, in my opinion. T^T

So, ah...Yeah.

Lindsey's at EFY all week, so I've been so alone. *spazzes* I haven't talked to anyone on the phone since Sunday. So I'm bored and I'm tired and I have a parade on Monday.

I command everyone to go. *uses Jedi mind tricks*

I know I had something to say...

I saw Madagascar the other day... It was an awesome movie. Um.... grah, this was a pointless journal entry, now wasn't it?

I went swimming the other day, and then I go to camp on Tuesday, and now I'm gonna die because I can't remember what I was going to say.

It'll come to me later, I promise. =3

calif. photos

1. This is my me, my mom, and my little brother at Huntington Beach. LOOK AT THE OCEAN! *spazzes*

2. This is my little brother and I at Rose Hills Memorial Park, sitting near my grandmother's grave. He's sitting near the head stone and I'm down at the bottom of the plot, drawing.

3. This is my family at Huntington Beach. I love my family, they're awesome.

(From Left to Right) Top Row: My cousin Rocio (AKA Cheepe), my cousin Jessica, my mom, my big brother Chris (I love him so much), my little brother Brandon, and my cousin Karla.
Bottom Row: My second cousin (Rocio's daughter) Savannah, me, and my niece Elizabeth.

4. This is my brother Chris and his daughter Elizabeth. I think she's freakin' out 'cause they're in the water. I don't know.

5. This is another family picture at Mario's Tacos in Pico Rivera. It's an awesome place to eat, if you're ever in Pico, go there. *dies*

From Left to Right: Rocio, Savannah, Brandon, Karla, me, and Jessica. X3

pioneer trek photos

1.This is me the morning of my trek. As you can tell, I'm a little grumpy, but my dress is CLEAN. *dies*

2. This is me (in the middle, da-hur) with two other girls from my ward (Jennifer on the left, yes, the one whom I helped in the women's pull... and Cori on the right). We were being all hawt and stuff in our sexy dresses. XD

3. This is me the afternoon I came home. See how dirty and sunburnt I am? But I love my dress. It may be from the sixties, but man, did I feel gorgeous. X3
And 4., this is the same day as 3, but I'm standing up and you can see my beautiful apron. Yes, it is the same one as you see in the first picture. And no, that big dark splotch is not chicken's blood, but grape jam. Everyone was asking me if it was chicken blood. XD
Look at the sleeves! I adore those sleeves. X3

like a fire is burning

Mood: Tired still...But still amazed from last night.
Listening To: Myself humming "The Spirit of God".
Reading: Harry Potter 6! *has a spaz* Squee. X3

Last night was the Day of Celebration. For those of you who don't know what it is, it was a huge youth festival thing that celebrated our first prophet (Joseph Smith)'s 200th birthday. And when I say huge, I mean HUGE!

There were around 46,000 people there from the Salt Lake City surrounding area. 15,000 were in the choir, and there were 8,000 dancers or something. And way over 4,000 flagbearers. Holy cow. I saw quite a few people I knew, including Tiffany, Colin, Laurie, Roxanne, Mike (my brother from the trek) and Abree... I can't remember who else, but it was amazing.

Just to hear that choir sing was so powerful... I cried. We made pictures with these scarves that everyone got. You know, in the movies they make words and stuff? Yeah, well, we did that with 46,000 people. The first one said "Jospeh 200th", the second said, "Follow The Prophet" and the third was a mountain range with a sun coming up on the left, then going down on the right, then saying, "Choose Light". It was so awesome.

Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley spoke at the end, and that was also breath-taking. We had a glow stick thing at the end, and that was really cool.

The dancers were amazing, the flags were awesome, the singing was beautiful, and I had a blast.
But I'm running out of adjectives, so I'll end here.

BUT IT WAS AWESOME.

who can say if I've been changed for the better?

Mood: Tired, but doing pretty good.
Listening To: "For Good" from the Wicked soundtrack (I know, I'm obsessed).
Reading: Nothing, still, but I have Wicked and the new Harry Potter on hold at the library. X3

Well. I'm back now, aren't you overjoyed? X3

On Thursday (?), I went to a senior party, and it was sad. Chantelle is leaving Tooele and going to college. So I saw a bunch of seniors, and got to start missing them all over again. XD But it was an awesome Mormon senior party. X3

I had a TON of fun in California, I got to see my brother, Chris, (whom I love soooo much).

And my brother saw my drawings, and he hit the floor. He said that I was really good and stuff. And my brother's one of the best artists I know. I died of joy. X3 And then I drew him a gift. <3 Not a picture of a gift, but a picture of something of his choice. XD

So, I came back on Thursday night, and Friday morning I had Majestix practice, and I forgot that it was freshmen initiation week. So I showed up and found out we had to do the pudding obstacle course. XD So, I was drenched with water and really nasty chocolate pudding, but it was awesomely fun. *nodnod*

And I went to see Dark Water with Nicole (an old friend) on Friday. It wasn't that bad, but it was too much like The Ring.

And I had a parade this morning. It was hot and tiring, especially since I didn't get enough sleep last night. XD But it was still fun, even though I didn't know a soul there. It was Draper Days (don't ask me why Tooele does that parade, they don't have any local bands XD).

So there's what I've been doing.

"The Harry Potter book comes out today! It is truly a 'day of celebration'!" XDD

so if you care to find me, look to the western sky

Mood: Much better. X3
Listening To: "Defying Gravity" from the Wicked soundtrack
Reading: Anyone have book suggestions?

Goodness. I feel so much better. The parade was awesome. I had people calling my name on all sides, but the sad thing was I couldn't look at them because I wasn't allowed. Not proffesional -looking, plus it got me off-step. XD

And there's a little neighbor girl that saw me and wants to be part of the Color Guard when she goes to high school. <33333

We're leaving for California tomorrow morning most likely, because I got invited to a party tonight. It's for a senior whose last day in town is tonight. It feels weird, because I probably won't ever see her again. o-o

*runs off singing Wicked music because she's obsessed*

<3

you know black- is this year's pink

Mood: Bitchy, if you would excuse the language.
Listening To: "Dancing Through Life" from the Wicked soundtrack
Reading: Dangit, I need some good books.

Blah. I've been feeling pretty depressed and mean this past week. I dunno. I keep getting in fights with my mom, I keep feeling down on myself, and I don't know why. It feels crappy. I've been snappish and rude, and the only way I feel somewhat happy is if I'm listening to my music alone. And lately, my music has been the Wicked soundtrack, and that makes me feel worse because it makes me miss all sorts of people, and I feel sorry for Elphaba, but then I feel kinda better. I don't know what's wrong, and I wish... I don't know.

Gah. I sound like a whiny emo girl. Sorry. I hate sounding like this.

People have been getting on my nerves lately, and it's not because of them, it's me. I hate that.

So, I'll be all right later, I guess. I hope.

I've got a parade on Monday (I'm in the Color Guard), and then on Saturday (the 9th), I'm leaving for California to see my cousins, my brother (whom I haven't seen for five years), and my niece (whom I've never met). So, I think by then I'll feel a lot better because I haven't seen my family for a long time.

Mur.
