Family vacations are always fun
You laugh and have as much fun as a gun
You see all the lights
Take in all the sights
And bond until its all done!

Off to Hawaii, so much to see
There is enough for you and enough for me
There we will snorkle with all the fish
And maybe even sample some exotic dish

Facebook

Every teenager knows the expression "creepin the book." It refers to the act of searching facebook and looking at other people's pictures, statuses, and comments. So pretty much you are doing exactly what is said...creepin (but not in a creepy way of course). Facebook is all the rage in high schools all over the place. What is the draw to this? Ask anyone who has a faebook and they will probably have no idea. Knowbody knows. There are even some people, like me, who can't stand facebook...yet probably have it going in the background while they read this. So there really isn't much of a point to this blog, but to simple state...facebook. The drug of the 2010.

Happy Days

There are always those days when you wake up and you think to yourself, "Hey! Today is going to be a good day." Well today was one of those days for me. Even though I was dead tired at school, and I didn't even do anything outrageously fun in any of my classes...I still found myself having a good day. So tomorrow, try to have a good day. It'll be worth it!!

Pretzels

Everybody loves pretzels. They are just such simple little snacks that are great to eat at any time of the day. Each one of those tiny twists contains a salty explosion of deliciousness. Not to mention, they aren't even that bad for you. The pretzel was invented many many years ago, by an unknown monk in Italy. Possibly out of boredom, he took the leftover bread dough and wound it into tiny shapes. After baking the shapes, all he needed to do was spice up his new snack with a little salt and CaPow!! You have a delicious snack that almost every normal person enjoys.

Celebrities

Everybody thinks that celebrities are so amazing, and such good role models...blah, blah, blah. After spending 12 hours with 3 different celebrities, I was able to discover the truth.

The heart throb from mean girls [aaron samuels], turned out to be nothing like his kind character in his movies.

He was a very cocky, obnoxious person with an ego the size of Canada.

We were eating dinner and the whole time he talked about how amazing he was and how everybody was sooo lucky to be around him.

He even reached over and took food off my plate thinking that it was okay, because he is a celebrity, and i must be in love with him.

He was one of the typical attention seekers, who thinks the world revolves around him.

Well, that's just one of the celebrities that isn't exactly who the public thinks they are.

And I know that if I were famous, I might get cocky too.

But honestly this is my opinion, and i'm not just judging him.

I actually sat next to him as he got super drunk and was making fun of the waitors because they weren't him.

So if you guys don't agree...thats your own opinion, but this is mine.

Dance Your Heart Out

Every year, there is this huge fundraiser to raise money for HIV/AIDS. What is this fundraiser you ask? Well, a bunch of people come together at the mall of america to dance for 12 hours straight. No, you heard me right, 12 HOURS!!!! This epic event took place on saturday, March 6th. It was an absolute blast!! However, it did take quite a toll on my body. Lets just say I can't really feel my entire body. A lot of people ended up leaving at about the 8 hour mark...but my one sister and I danced the entire 12 hours. Just let me repeat myself one more time...12 HOURS!!!!!!! That's a lot of hours of straight dancing. In total we ended up raising 42,337, to send an entire group of kids to summer camp this summer.

Not only were there actual AIDS survivors there, such as a 14 yr. old boy named Darrell whom after yesterday I am very proud to call my friend. He contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion when he was only 4 days old. Can you even imagine? I know I can't even begin to understand everything he has been through.

In addition to Darrel and a few other survivors that were there, there was also some celebreties. Such as;

• Jonathon Bennett-Aaron Samuels from Mean Girls

• Robbie Amell- True Jackson VP

• Paris Bennett- American Idol winner (Season 5)

It was really cool, because I got to hang out with them all day. I even won a lunch with them, and then after the event, I also got to hang out with them at the after party. Everything was for a really good cause. It was really difficult, but still incredibly fun and totally worth it.

...Silence...

So many things are going wrong everyday. People can be so warped in the dark confinement of the human mind. When a person reaches a state so raw where reality, and the picture in which they surround themselves, combine...a lot can happen. A person can snap to a point where their own family is fearful of them. I can't even think of the words to describe how that would feel. To have one of your own in such a state. What can you do? ...What can you do when whatever you say to help only gets twisted up to make matters worse? A situation like that can tear a family apart. Slowly unraveling the fine fabric that holds together the tight mingling of the family bond. Maybe I am naeve. Maybe I just don't understand at all. All I know is that in such a situation...maybe the one who says the least feels the most...

Sledding

Today me and a few friends were sitting inside, and we decided to go sledding...in swim suits!! Take a look!!

[temporary problem loading video]

We are pretty crazy...and it was super cold!!

World

Waves roll along above a lifeless sea floor

Tossing and turning as a restless nights sleep

A calm spreads through the land like a wildfire claiming everything in her path

Two different worlds always opposing the vibrant opposite of the other

Beauty takes a form in the light

Rising majestically high above both land and sea

Two become one as the world awakes in a glorious splendor

Colors show through in a blur of perfect tranquility

The day stretches on before a canvas of light

And life goes on...

Never knowing

Never seeing

This paradise is short lived though

For the pictures begin to fade before my eyes

The waves settle down from their childish games

And all the world will once again fall into a deep wistful slumber

1, 2, 3, 4

There's always more than just 1, 2, 3, 4.

In between the lines are the fractions which are only divided wholes with missing pieces.

The missing pieces can be added or multiplied, but greater or lesser they are still just missing.

No matter how you put it, I'm always counting on you, but even by adding a whole when you start with a half still isn't 1.

Colors

People...

Everyday people travel past one another

Never knowing

Never seeing

Everyday people come and go from this world

Nobody knows

Nobody cares

Everybody has their own true colors that they keep hidden from everyone else

But why they do it is a mystery to me...

Why would anybody ever want to keep themselves locked up inside their own body?

We are all just prisoners here...all waiting to be released from their own cages

We all just need to learn how to live....in TECHNICOLOR!!

24

A lot can happen in 24 hours, and Jack Bauer certainly knows what that feels like. Every monday I watch the TV show 24. The entire show takes place within a 24 hour time period. Its an action packed show of super kick ass stunts. Right now, they are trying to find out where some Russians are hiding nuclear rods. Jack was just captured and is being tortured in a cellar of the Russians. It's only a matter of time before some serious action goes down.

For someone who will never read this...

How come its so hard to let go.....
Everything happens day after day
I should be moving on
But everytime I see you I don't want to let you go
I don't cry
But yet everyday I want to lay down and cry for what you did
I knew then that the moment wouldn't last
How could I be so stupid
Its been too long I wish time could heal
But after so long of being hurt by you there is nothing left
Every time you bring up farther than before
But then you just rip me down even farther than the time before
I plunged head first into a dark abiss
You tell me that your sorry but it never sticks
After all this I should just move on
But I can't seem to let you go
I still want to be close to you
So if you were to ever read this....
Just know I won't be here forever
I understand that you will never feel the same about me
but I must tell you one thing...
You never know what you are missing until its gone
And when I'm gone, please leave me be

~for someone who will never read this

Smile

Happiness is a gift, an emotion that sneaks up from behind.

when was the last time you were truly happy?

Every second counts so "live like your dying"
Be happy!

Looking Glass

People come and people go, as you watch them through the looking glass.
They will hurt you and desert you...and all you want to do is hide.
All of those feelings that you just want to throw away...
You can't because they are part of you and by doing so you might lose yourself?
Times like this are when you just sit on your bathroom floor and cry?
Why is it that people can affect us so?
Just a boy or a girl?
Don't ever let your mind keep you from living your life.
Those moments when you experience those feelings...let it out
Don't try to hide them or get rid of them...
They will all pass with time
Close your eyes and take a deep breath...count to ten

Me...

I realized recently, that I tend to hide who I am in many situations.

I'm not embarrassed...no that's a lie, I actually was embarrassed until now.

So I decided I would share, with whoever is reading this, some things that people don't know about me...

• I love the show gossip girl!
• I sing Miley Cyrus music really loud when I get ready in the morning
• I cried like a baby when Mr. Darcy told Elizabeth he loved her in Pride and Prejudice
• I played rockband for 39 hours over the course of 2 weeks
• I'm terrified of big ships and train bells
• I pretend that I do all this cool stuff...but I usually just sit around at home
• I act like one of the guys, and I say it's because of girl drama...but really i'm just intimidated by all the girls in our grade who are so out-going
• I really do understand most of the work in school...but I am too scared of being embarrassed to answer out loud
• I have liked the same guy off and on since 7th grade, and he couldn't care less about me
• My girl-friends don't really like me that much
• I fight with my sister, but I don't know what i'd do without her
• I will never hip hop dance because i have been embarrassed...but i'm actually not that bad
• My friends tell me they are going to come over, but they end up just hanging out with each other at somebody else's house, and i pretend like I don't care...but it kills me
• I purposely distance myself from the ones I care about the most, for fear of getting hurt

I don't know...some of you may know all that, and lets be honest here...nobody even cares about this stupid stuff. But it's just these little things that i figured i could share with possibly the 1 person that maybe reads this blog. And for me it feels good to say them. I'm gonna add to that list whenever I think of something new, haa. Brace yourself for a whole lot more coming at you from a never ending parade of me! :P haha (just kidding about the last part)
