my profile is an idiot

do you guys see that I changed my profile? I changed it twice now but it doesn't show up to me. Everytime it says I'm still 19, but I'm not! I'm SOOOOO 20!

new hair, not much different but we like it

homework now, post later.

I gotsta do math and layouts and drawing, fun fun fun eh? :)

My head hurts... ow

I think I was sitting too close to the tv when I watched Batman Begins (cool movie by the way).

I totally took my bike off a sweet jump today guys. Actually, all I did was jump up a little slope on the edge of a driveway but it was the first time I've ever actually gotten both wheels off the ground off of a ramp of any sort. I am so excited!!! This is just one of the first steps, I already got over my fear of riding up onto curbs, I am well on my way to riding with Logan on cool looking things and maybe even learning some tricks and not just taking pictures at Tim's house. Though that is wicked kickin' fun :D I can't wait!

and now it's time to go to sleep :) yay for sleep, and yay more for not having to get on the bus at 6:45 tomorrow morning because I don't have school tomorrow! YAY! :D :D :D

I've forgotten....

I keep thinking of things I want to post about and then forget what they are... Then forget about blogging.... Then forget that I've forgotten and convince myself that I've already posted about whatever was funny that day.

it's a vicious cycle really...

Picketing the Storm

I rode my bike home on Sunday in the rain while Hayden walked (don't worry I rode slow and he had an umbrella). Well at one point I had to call Logan and inform him of my momentous occasion. The amazing feat being that I rode onto a curb by popping my front tire up, which I was previously scared to do because I figured bike would just stop once I got to the curb and I wouldn't. Anyway, while I was stopped to talk on the phone (because riding a bicycle while on your cell is like riding your bicycle drunk with one hand on the handle bars and one by your ear) Hayden began marching in circles moving his umbrella up and down chanting, "No more rain, it's a pain, no more rain, it's a pain...."

He also said something funny to Courtney today but I can't remember what it was... so.... there.

Hello Saturday

I have two art projects and a few pages of math to do and a few examples of graphic design to find, fun fun silly willy.

We have a new host/carside manager at Applebees. I was worried that he was going to be a real jerk but so far he's been pretty cool... to me anyway. Some of the other host/carside people have gotten some crap from him. I guess we'll just have to see how this all plays out, he's only been our manager for about a week.

Logan is gone again, sigh, it's hard only seeing him on weekends. It's great when he's here though! I love that boy :) it's tough not being able to schedule things like a normal person but I don't think I'd really wish for him to have a desk job or anything. I know he's supposed to be in the Army right now and I can cope with that :)

Starting school

Off we go into the wild... dark... abyss of early morning... haha. I was thinking in my head the air force hymn (is it a hymn? It doesn't sound like one) "off we go into the wild blue yonder" and it was all chipper in my head, but I realized that it's not blue yet... Well sort of blueish. Anyway I don't really think early morning is an abyss but I sure do like saying that word. Anyway I gotta go get some snacks to bring to my long day of school then work :P School from 8 - 1:50 an hour on the bus and then work at 4 until about 9:30. :P :P long day, and I'm starting to feel sick :P bad bad bad. Anyway, I'm off it's the second first day of school! :) :) :)

I may never march in the infantry...

I'm going to be teaching a Sunday school kindergarten class two weekends a month starting this Sunday. I'm really excited, I helped out last Sunday and with the exception of a few things which I already talked to the preschool pastor about, and I'm confidant they can and will be addressed, I loved it. Those kids are awesome, and SO cute and funny! They love to sing the Lord's Army song, it's a fun song. But everytime they sing it I think about the guys who are in the infantry and shooting the artillery. I think someday I may make a slide show or a video or at least draw a picture about it. I think it'd make a cool picture but I'm not sure yet how it'd look... In any case I should be getting next week's lesson in the mail :) Yay! I love kids!

I need a t shirt

I decided I'm going to create a tshirt, I just need to get one. I already got the paper I need and the graphic (thanks to my genius brother) it's AWESOME, check it out! It's skippy from Robin Hood. I'm going to put words on the shirt also. It's going to say DEATH TO TYRANTS!

I have appley tasting candy, yumm :)

I don't work tonight and I have tomorrow and Sunday off... What should I do guys? I feel like I should do something fancy... I'll probably just end up chillin around the house with my family. I think I may rent x-men, that'd be fancy.

I don't... know what to do....

hm.... lets just say life can come at you fast... and I'm not quite sure what to do at this point... I'm completely emotional and kind of dumbfoundedly numb at the same time...

I'm confused.

Shopping list ... extreme

1) Text books
(note: go to ATM, check balance)

2) Flashing bike light

3) the book of coupons accidentally left at church

G) Jasmine
(note: not actual shopping item, expect call around 11:30)

(note again: #3 isn't a shopping item either, just get it, don't pay anyone or anything)
(note once more: ... If anyone tries to get money from you while retrieving said book follow sequence Delta)

........

SEQUENCE DELTA
A) Whip out bike light
2) Blind them profusely
00) Run

ok ok ok, here's my bike

see? isn't it beautiful? I don't look all that excited in either picture but it's a great bike :) also the first picture is me just off work and I'm tired so I look weird. :P Oh well. What do you think Cherise?

ok that's a load of crap...

I just typed up a darn good post and this stupid computer deleted it FOR NO GOOD REASON!! :P Apparently I started typing before the page was loaded, of course the stupid bloody page took so long to load that I didn't realize it wasn't all the way loaded. grr... Oh well :P

The gist of my lost post was I'm excited for but going to miss my off-to-college friends, I'm taking a couple design classes, a math class, and a typography class this fall at PCC aaaand... I wish I was a national guardsman (guardswoman?) so that I could go help people in the south. But really I don't wish that I was in the National Guard because I'd most likely be off to Iraq for a long long time and I'm kinda sorta planning to get married to someone already in the military so joining would probably be a silly idea. In any case I'd really like to go over there and help keep the peace or rescue people. *sigh* On a good note I heard that they sent a bunch of PJs over there :) yay PJs! (Pararescue Jumpers, they're elite Air Force guys)

Here I am!! You can stop looking now :)

Greetings from the mountainous regions of the center of our illustrious state! Sorry I haven't updated in about a million YEARS. I had a wonderful Sisters trip with Logan and I learned how to put pictures on my blog! A couple firsts for me I had whilst in the lovely land of Sisters, I road a bike on a trail, had my first real (good) bike fall with pretty bruises and everything, and I backpacked up a mountain and camped there! :D That was super fun! The cute picture of Logan and I was taken in a meadow next to a little stream. That picture is Logan reading his magazine about Vietnam and incase anyone is wary of his attire he is wearing a pair of army issue PT shorts (which I swear were designed in 1982 because they're TINY and they've got the bit that goes up in the sides :P) Anyway, great trip, lotsa fun. Logan is doing well also... except that he ate too much at dinner or something and threw up early this morning :( poor guy. But he says he's ok so I'm not TOO worried, I'll just let him sleep in. Again, sorry guys about disappearing for a while there I'm glad you still love me :)

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

Logan says I'm silly

just because I'm wearing a tank top, skirt, jeans, an apron and a cowboy hat. Pfft. Silly my foot.

I got you t shirts! .... darn!

Heavy stuff....

How is it that I end up talking about really important stuff late at night when it's just time to sleep? It's a silly time to talk, people are extra emotional. And sometimes that makes me sad, I hate to hurt someone I love.... But sometimes you need pain I think... If we didn't hurt then how the crap would we be able to know that God can heal us? And how also would we be able to recognize the power of God or His love for us in that no matter what the matter is, whether it's our fault or it happened to us, He is there to help us and make it right and turn bad things into good. I love God, I love how He works. I don't understand it most of the time but I know that even if it involves pain and heartache it will turn out to be good in the end.

"...To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified..."
Isaiah 61:3

Sort of bored

I get to work a double today :) huzzah, I haven't worked a double in..... Ever I think, at least a long time. In any case I'm a little bored sitting here at my computer, it's not like I don't have things to do I just feel bored and a little disappointed at a certain webcomic. :P Megatokyo, I like reading it and it's usually cool but the author has been a bit moody or something anyway he launched into a three week short comic that makes not that much sense and now he's ended it without explaining a bunch of stuff. I guess that's how it goes sometimes and you just sort of take it as it is but sometimes a little (or a lot) of background makes a story that much more interesting ya know? *sigh* anyway I guess I'll go get dressed and off to work. Hey! I get to go on a trip on Saturday! Yay! Fun stuff :D

and then the NEXT week I get to go to WALLA WALLA!!! :D :D :D hooraaaay!!!

where's Shupe and the RubberBand?

Apparently Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand do not have any full CD's out, just the single of Dream Big. And no one seems to have that :P maybe Logan will have some luck in central Oregon afterall they do seem to have huge tracts of Sobe lemonade that Portland and the surrounding areas apparently lack. Perhaps they've also obtained a copy or two of the song I want, even if they don't I say three cheers for central Oregon! (at least Sisters/Bend area) hip hip... HOORAY! hip hip... HOORAY! hip hip... HOORAY!!! :D

I like this song, it makes me smile

When you cry be sure to dry your eyes,
cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile be sure to smile wide,
and don't let them know that they have won.
And when you walk, walk with pride,
and don't show the hurt inside,
because the pain will soon be gone.

And when you dream, dream big,
as big as the ocean blue.
Cause when you dream it might come true.
When you dream, dream big.

And when you laugh be sure to laugh out loud,
cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself,
and it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on
when the troubles come your way.

"Dream Big" -Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband
