Hey ya'all!

WEEOOO! I'm happy again! Don't you just love the feeling of getting over something that's been bothering you for a while? I do!! Hey, everyone write about their favorite class, and why you like it so much! (or at least better than the others ^_^) I'll post a comment on it, don't worry :D

Some things to think about (at least for me to think about)

I was watching John Bytheway in sunday school. (I guess he may be kinda funny...haha) anyway, he said something that really caught my attention, for some reason. He was talking about the 2000 stripling warriors, and about when the Captain says "What say ye, my sons?" and he said that the stripling warriors thought "If we die, we'll be with God; if we live, God will be with us." He didn't even put much emphasis on the phrase, but I really thought about it for a long time. Later in the video, he was talking about Alma and Amulek, and he said that if we're still here, that our work is not yet finished. A lot of really hard things have been happening to me lately, and it's made me sort of reckless, which gets me into more trouble. I played around with the idea (not really seriously, of course) of what it would be like to get into a crash, and have everything just be over. To get to be let go from all the responsibilities and the hard things, and be able to just do missionary work on the other side. I guess I was looking forward too much to the being with God part. Of course, I was reckless because of my being so stressed out, and I got into a crash really soon after that, and so now I know I really don't want to be in any more. That's not the point, though. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it really put things into perspective for me. A million times I could have been in a different car crash (or maybe that same one) and been seriously injured, or worse. I think that I was supposed to be in that crash before I did anything that would have gotten me into a bigger, more dangerous one. A million times I could have gotten cancer, or fallen from something, or gotten in a jet ski accident, or have died from a heart problem I didn't even know about. But it wasn't me, and it wasn't me for a reason. I still have things to do here, and I know because I am here. I guess I just kinda realized why I have to keep trying, and why I have to keep holding on, and why I have to keep on caring. But as long as I live, I know that my Heavenly Father will be with me just like he was with the 2000, and all the other people living and dead. Anywho, maybe this is too spiritual or just too much of my ramblings for this blog, but here it is.

hi

Hi guys! I don't really have anything to talk about, but I wanted to post something to let you (Noelle) know that I finally responded to your emails to get on this blog. :) Anyway, you guys are creative, so post something w/ a fun topic, and I'll comment/post something. I'll see most of you tomorrow!

*Hannah (By the way, I need a cool "cyber-name." Any ideas?)

Homecoming Game

woot! That game was so much fun! Even though we lost horribly :( oh well, I think that the Oremites must have become accomplished Voo Doo practicers. hehehe Still, being there was dang fun, eh?

Mr. Wealthy

hahaha or Rich. I think that it's funny how he wants us to be putting our innermost feelings out into cyberspace...but maybe that's just me lol I think I'll analyze why I didn't get asked to homecoming :D I like that smiley in this font :D :D :D hehehe Anywho...I think I'll invite peoples again to this one now that they already have other stuffs...So, you both have to post stuff about your dates and how much they make you giggle (or chuckle) inside hehehe :D

So freaking sore.... *twitch*

You guys should've come lazer tagging last night, it was soo fun!! Haha well, probably because that was my first time going, and it would've been your 2nd? 3rd? I dunno. But it was a par-tay!! I'm so sore though. I really need to get off of my butt and do stuff during the summer because I hurted. Anyway, we really should bring this back to life because it's a brilliant idea. Maybe we can bring in more Bruins.

Hey ya'll!

Hey guess what! We're back from band tour! Hehehehe. Did you guys have fun??? I had a BLAST and I can't wait to do it again!!!!

Oh golly gee

Hallo everyone!
Just checkin in to the thing...y...I find myself extremely happy, all the time! How about you guys? Are your lives going well, or not so well, or...just going? I find that when the beautifully tragic and the tragically beautiful combine, it can either produce an effect that touches you temporarily sadly, or eternally upliftingly. So just keep that in mind. hehe. Cya guys later!

Orange

WOOOOOHOOOO!!

Mountain View won! Yay! I am a very very very very very very happy person right now!!! See you tomorrow!!!!

How's it hangin?

Hey ya'll!
Halloween! wee!! UEA! WEE!! lol nm, I know I'm insane. So, what's up? What books are ya'all reading? Are they good? Have you guys seen Wait 'til Dark? I think it's the scariest movie I have ever seen in my life...it's a good scary, though. I definately reccomend it. What movies do you guys think are scariest? well, g2g!

Knock.... knock?

Hey everyone... hehe all two of you. Just wondering, how's ya'll doin'? School? Extracurricular activities? Political points? Did either of you see the Sean Hannity talk/show thing here at UVSC? It was pretty interesting and it's times like those that I wish I was more politically inclined so that'd I would know more of what he was talking about. Who's going to be elected? It looks like it'll be another Bush-Gore thing again, but the result may be different. I think I'll be surprised if either of them win for some weird reason... The Marching Band is going to Pocatello on Saturday! And then we come back and perform at MV all in the same day. Is Rachel coming to see at us MV? Just wondering, are other local marching bands going to come and play at MV also? Is it a competition or just a show? Anyway, go Pep Band! You're both going to the game tonight right? BTW does anyone know if there are more people out there that we might be able to suck down into our little forum type-thing? It'd be fun to see how many people we'd be able to get blogging. Unless we just don't really want to make the effort or don't really care... which is ok too. I might know of a few people. Well, see ya'll either tonight or later! Have fun and good luck.

AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

School starts tomorrow, see ya'll there! Oh, and post your schedules! I would but I don't know it yet....

Hehehehehehe

Nice quotes you guys...... I thought I'd throw in some I've come across:

"I think there's a difference between appearance and image. An image is not how you look. It's what you do. It's what you portray. Your personality, the example you set, and that's huge for me."

"The greatest glory never comes from falling, but from rising each time you fall."

"It's important that I make a difference in some way. It's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do."

"...as long as you're living right, then you don't have to worry about what people see."

"Half my butt is mac & cheese and the other half is Krispy Kreme..."

Hehehehehehe, I bet you'll NEVER guess who said all that.....

I've seen the future, and the future is orange

Haha, just kidding. Anyway, I just thought I'd check in, and tell ya'all...something. I was just reading, and I came across a couple quotes that I liked. So, I thought I'd follow Sir Radish's grand example, and post them. Well, here they are:

I would rather be in company with a dead man than an absent one. For, if the dead man gives me no pleasure, at least he shows me no contempt, whereas the absent man, silently indeed, but very plainly, tell me that he does not think me worth his attention. -Lord Chesterfield

We should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend.
-John Henry Newman

Help thy brother's boat across, and lo! Thine own boat has reached the shore. -Hindu Proverb

I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not hwat I think of him, it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self esteem is a sin. -Antoine de Saint-Exupery

A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not what ships were built for. -John A. Shield

If you chase two rabbits, both will escape. -Unknown

I know no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. -Henry David Thoreau

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world. -Alfred Lord Tennyson

Well, I hope I didn't bore you too much. Remember, it was your choice, not mine to read them, if you did lol. Well, cya'all later!

Quote by Christian Larson

I kinda liked this quote and it might be of some use to other people.
"PROMISE YOURSELF ... to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as your are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have not time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy for permit the presence of trouble."
- Christian Larson
I know it sounds somewhat cheesy, but it does have some good points. Hehe, in other words "Have a good day," ^_^ .

In the life of me! The Orange!

Well, today, I managed to use the mousse my mother bought me, and to bring out my natural curls. People wanted to know if I had gotten a perm. I said "Heavens, no! These are my natural curls!" In not so many words. They said that it was cute though. We weren't late today, but just on time. We even managed to acquire a cushioned pew. I was very pleased. When we got home, I finally remembered to email my Easter talk to Sister Pheysey. She's been begging me for months. I really am not sure of why my talk impressed so many people so much. They're still complimenting me about it. Oh well, Mine is not to wonder why, mine is but to do and die. After a few events that I admit I may have overreacted in, I am now forced to think of and participate in an activity with Almond. I think I may be able to avoid it, but if not, oh well, it can't be too bad. I practiced for nearly an hour. A lot of it was improv, but hey. There are some times when you CAN serve two masters. My mother and myself. Well, in the background, I can hear my mother hinting about how much she dislikes my situation, and how she wishes I was like any other child. *sigh* Life is just a package stuffed with foam peanuts. You have to sift through the annoying to find the enjoyable, and sometimes you just have to make do with the bubblewrap at the bottom. I read some from Fellowship of the Ring. I wish I could read faster. I really need to buckle down and just read the thing. Oh, I got emails today. Yesterday I just decided to tell Van Tan the truth that I don't like him, and never have, but that I really don't want to lose such a good friend. He wrote back saying that he actually hadn't been avoiding me, just that he'd been busy. I just decided to believe him. He also assured me that we were still friends, which made me glad. Anyway, 2 of the other emails were from The Radish, telling me about his family reunion in CA, as well as congratulating me about telling Van Tan the truth. The last email was from The Watermelon; it was about my confession as well. She also wanted to know exactly what the truth was. I told her that the truth was that I never liked him, and that I'm a dork. Well, that pretty much covers my day.

Happy Pioneer Day!!

Happy Pioneer Day! Today is Saturday, July 24, 2004! Anyway, I'm so bored, I just got through saving 170+ pictures, just to find out that at least 1/2 of them were the same pictures!! I'm never going to do a montage for Girl's Camp ever again. What a waste of my precious time when I could be lazying around doing nothing whatsoever! I'm waiting for 4:00 to come around so that we can start our Ward Pioneer Fun day. Whatever that is. Ergh. So what's new in the life of YOU?! Yes you! that's who I'm talkin about!!! I feel so selfish using this. Quick, someone else post...........................NOW!

Oh my gash! Nemo's swimming out to sea!!

Muahahahaha! I'm so bored right now! I just wanted to say HEY YA'LL!!! Is there only three people that have posted/commented? Cuz that's booooooooooooooring!!! Anyway, I'm having a pretty good summer! I found out that the puppy's gonna be gone for my birthday! Happy birthday to me!! Camp was fun, I saw good things *cough*CLAY*cough* and ate good food!! Well, someone else post now!!

So it Begins...

Hiya! I think that it'd be safe now to try to decide what kind of stuff we'll talk about, and exactly what we'll be doin. Should we decide just how many people contributing to the posts we'll allow? Because anyone, whether they're a team member or not, can comment to the posts, but I think it might be a good idea to limit the # of people able to post. Just a vague limit though, not like "only 15" or something. Also, I've noticed that no one has posted as of yet, only commented. So, if this is a matter of not knowing how, or something, I can answer most questions you have, and those can either be written to me, or put here as a comment, or whatever you wanna do. Also, the subjects of discussion...we need to decide whether we'll just be talking about our days, or if we'll have open discussion about current events, opinions on music, movies, whatever. I think it'd also be fun, later on, to have like an election thing to decide who should be "president" or something, so we can have some organization...blah blah blah. Anywho...yeah. Comment, please :D
