Prom 2010

So this year is my first time going to Prom. It's going to be a masquerade this year which makes me really want to go, but at the same time i really don't want to go. I've never had a date to any dance and I don't think that will change this year. All of my friends have already gotten dates for Prom and have old me, "You're welcome to tag along with us if you'd like." Well, in my opinion, the word 'tag along' means you can come along as a third wheel but we'll be ancing the whole time wth each other and won't have time to notice you. So I'm definitely not taking that route. I've done it before and it sucks. Prom is every girls dream to be a princess. They have a guy and a beautiful dress that makes them shine and allows that feeling of 'I feel so beautiful' to come along into their head. Personally, I don't feel like I should get all dressed up to feel like a princess just to end up sitting there not really having any one to dance with and end up having a crappy night. Who knows, maybe it will change and I will get a date. I really hope I do. As of right now, I still have no idea if I'm going to go or not.

The Scarlet Letter

So if any of you guys have ever read "The Scarlet Letter", you will know what I am talking about very well. In today's society, I believe things would be much more balanced if everybody had to go around with a letter of some sort for telling the sin/crime they had committed. It is my belief that people judge others on the things they have done to cover up for their own guilty conscience. Imagine how much more peaceful things would be around towns if people had to go around with big letters embroidered on their blouses and jackets. M = Murderer. A = Adulterer. CL= Compulsive Liar. S = Stealer. And so on down the line. Sure, it would be very embarassing and may hurt some self-esteem for a while, but as every one's secrets got released, people would get used to it and eventually feel content. no one would be able to judge another because they, themselves, would have a reminder standing bright and true on their chest.

It's just a thought I had and felt the need to share it. If you have not read "The Scarlet Letter", I highly suggest getting it to read if even in your spare, to non-existant, time.

Free Credit Report . Com

So for real, I love those free credit report . com commercials. I know the words to basically every single one of them. I've also realized that old lady shows up in almost every single one of them with the exception of a few. I do love me some good commercial singin though! I have also taken the liberty to type up all the lyrics for those who would like to sing-a-long. :)

Commercial 1:
Well they say a man should always dress for the job he wants
So why am i dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant
Its all because some hacker stole my identity
Now I’m in every evening serving chowder and ice tea

Commercial 4:

Commercial 5:

How bad reality hurts

Commercial 6:
I was getting depressed cause of all the stress I was feeling at homeHad a poor credit score and the number would haunt me wherever I go
But I moved to a place where my credit could stink and nobody would careI just wish that somebody had told me that place was a renaissance fair!
Free credit report dot comTell your friends, tell your dad, tell your mom
Never mind they’ve been singing our songSince we first showed up with our pirate hats on
If you’re not into fake swordfightsPointy slippers and green wool tights
Take a tip from a knight who knows free credit report dot com
LET’S GO!!

Commercial 7:
Buckle up everybody cause were taking a ride
It can strain your relationships and hurt your pride
It’s the credit roller coaster and as you can see it kinda bites so sing the lyrics with me:
When your debt goes up, your score goes down,
When you pay a little off it goes the other way around
It’s just the same for everybody every boy and girl,
The credit roller coaster makes you wanna hurl.
So throw your hands in the air, and wave ‘em around
Like a wannabe frat boy trying to get down
Then bring em right back to where your laptops at.

Commercial 8:
Wanted to get myself a new cell phone
So I could hear myself as a ringtone
Who knew the store would go
And check my credit score?
Now all they let me have is this dinosaur!
Hello hello hello, can anybody hear me?
I know I know I know, I should have gone to
FreeCreditReport.coooom!
That’s where I shoulda gone,
Could have got my knowledge on.

Commercial 9:
We were stuck in a basement apartment
Tiny rooms where the sun never blessed
So when we needed space for a family,
Set our sights on the wide, open, west.
Well I thought we’d see sierra vistas
And breathe air pure as new-fallen snow
But my poor credit score was a sinker (or stinker?),
Now we rent by the week in Reno.

Making a change.

"Isn't if funny how day by day nothing changes, but when we look back everything is different". A quote that I will soon change the meaning of. I've been thinking for a pretty good time now, that it is time to make some changes in my life. Many of the changes I am going to have to make will be quite difficult, but I know I will never fully be alone. I'm going to have one last talk with a good friend on Sunday and decide if Sunday will be my first day for change, or will I continue going on how I am now. It's going to be a tough battle from here on out either way..

Reminiscing about the time I'm missing..

On Christmas/New Year's break of 2008-09, I got the privilage to go to London, England and march with others from the FHS Marching Admiral Band in the 2009 London New Year's day Parade. For one week, I got to live as a british person would and go around seeing all the different attractions and landmarks. Below is a picture of one of the very spiffy guards in his big black, fuzzy hat.

Another really cool contraption I got to see was the Tower Bridge. Tower Bridge is a neat little bridge in which cars can drive on when the light is green. Once the light turns red, all cars must stop so the bridge may come up and a boat/ship may cross underneath without hitting the deck.

Big Ben. One of the clock towers that is known throughout the world. He has the sweetest ringing of bells I have ever heard. I took many pictures of him because I loved him so much.

Normally I am quite afraid of heights, but after riding on The London Eye, I have pretty much overcome that fear. The London Eye is the biggest ferris wheel in the world, and I got to ride it. :)

We got to go tour Windsor Castle, but sadly, the Queen was not in. :( It was still a magnificant place though.

Windsor Castle

I have so many other pictures to help me remember the good times I had over in London. Hopefully one day I will go back..I miss that place dearly.

Fantastic Day!

Oh how things are so grand! School has been cancelled tomorrow for a big snow storm that is to pass through this weekend! Hope everybody drives safely and gets through the cold days ahead all right. Keeping an eye out on the weather reports that are coming in..things are looking like it can get pretty hectic out there!

Much pain had come, but now it is gone!

This past week has been very interesting and way eventful. My stomach had started hurting after school on Monday and my dad took me to the doctor. The doctor told me it could be either earliy signs of appendicitis or gastroenteritis (a type of stomach flu). He prescribed some medecine that should help the pain go away. On Tuesday, my pain got a little bit more irritating. I stuck it through the day and tried to get to sleep early that night. When I woke up on Wednesday I had a searing pain shooting through my right lower quaderent. Around 2:00, I went into the ER and they hooked me up to an IV and started running some tests. I spent about 9 hours there, but am definitely feeling better now. The doctors concluded it was a syst that had ruptured near my pelvis spreading liquids all around. Appendicitis is not evident, but to keep on looking for it if my symptoms progress. Am feel much better today and thankful it's gone!
