Editing the dfsjkdsfkljjdfs; out of photos until they don't look at all what they started like.

2012-01-30T18:39:00.003-06:00

This is my life. It's therapeutic. Making something into something else. I mean, really guys, what could be funner than this?

Ahah, oh man. Living the dream.

What I noticed about Darwin.

2012-01-29T20:30:00.003-06:00

My turtle Darwin. He was being so social today. He loves the camera. This is a picture of Darwin angled right up his "Voldemort" looking nose.

I asked Ben if turtles could get depressed, all they do is sit in one spot. Eat. Drink. Walk. And that's it.

Ben told me, "No."

So that's that. But gosh, I do love the turtle. I feel like, he's an innocent baby that needs protecting. Like his shell isn't good enough. He also needs me. It's nice to be needed.

Trusting you.

2012-01-29T15:32:00.005-06:00

When you're little, it's a pinky promise.
Middle School. You swear you won't tell.
When in high school, you can pour your whole heart into someone. And there are no swears, no pinky promises, you just have to trust they care about you enough to not let you down.

It's funny how you can let all your opinions, and memories, secrets, and life goals be carefully recited to a special person, and it makes you closer. It's funny how when they let you down, those secrets can just as easily tear you apart.

You can have a strong comfort level with people, but give it time, and distance, and the bond, kind of like worn string, starts to unravel, until it is just a thread.

Trust.

I feel like as careful as you can be, and as much thought as you put into a person. You can always be let down. But this is necessary. I know what it's like to be let down, and I know I would never want any of my friends to feel this way.

Trusting you.

Trusting you taught me that..
I need to be more careful. That these things happen.

I miss everyone.

2012-01-28T21:04:00.002-06:00

I miss everyone, all my friends from my old school. So I'm making a goal, a goal to see them all more often. And you'd think after seeing them all today I'd be sad because I miss them. But I'm not, I'm excited. I'm excited for the next time I get to see them.

Just made a goal. It's gonna happen, I know it.

I'm getting glasses.

2012-01-28T16:22:00.003-06:00

Just kidding about this picture..my mom's frames from back when she first had glasses. Mine look different. Ahah.

Sitting in the waiting chair, about to get my eyes checked.

I went to the eye doctor, and he informed me that I need a light prescription, for sitting in the back of classrooms, and driving at night.

I always imagined the day I'd be sitting, looking into a mirror, with hundreds of pairs of glasses around me. Even in my day dreams I could never pick a pair of glasses.

In real life, I sat there with hundreds of pairs of glasses to choose from. I asked the man, "How long do people usually take to choose glasses?" He turned the whole thing into a joke and I never got an answer.

In the end, I was ultimately fine with 8 pairs of glasses. Equally okay with all 8. A nightmare.

Just kidding. I picked a pair, and left. I like them a lot.

Got me thinking.

I made a balloon friend. I took nail polish off of my nails. I babysat. I re-painted my nails. I watched a movie. I deflated my balloon friend. I ate a twinkie..more than one. I babysat some more. I did my homework.

Living the dream.

Elementary School.

2012-01-20T20:59:00.006-06:00

On the walk back to school, I met two ducks that are someone's pet. They live in a dog house. I thought that was incredible.

For our Peer Helper program that I'm in, I got placed at a nearby elementary school every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday during fourth period. I am assigned to three kids with different, "needs". And the day she straight up told everyone what our child's "needs" are..I was absent. So I have to figure it out for myself.

My friends came back on Tuesday and had notes they had taken that said stuff like, "divorced parents" or "ignored at home". I missed these notes on Tuesday. So when I saw my kids on Thursday, I was like, "Hi. Tell me a little about yourself?" And these kids totally aren't shy.

My first girl I am assigned to: A second grade girl. She's so intelligent. Her whole family is from Iran. She reads at a seventh grade level. And tells me stories, and thoughts in complete sentences, and doesn't stray off topic. She also proved Santa's existence with solid logic. She's a genius.

She tells me she has a hard time forgiving people. I wanna say, "me too, girl..me too." But instead I ask her why. She tells me that all her friends let her down, and it's hard to let them back into her trust circle, because she doesn't want to set herself up again. Second grade, guys. This girl is in second grade. I mean, the stuff she talked about, is the stuff I think about all the time.

We talk and sit on the swings. When she has to go in at the end of recess, she sticks out her hand and says, "Nice meeting you, Ada." and turns to go inside.

I think she's like the cool little sister who thinks exactly like me, that I never had.

Geek in the pink.

2012-01-20T19:44:00.003-06:00

Conceited photo number 3632469.
HEY. It's my blog. Where else am I gonna be able to post these?

Well, let the geek in the pink take a stab at it
If you like the way I'm thinkin', baby, wink at it
I may be skinny at times but I'm fat fulla rhymes
Pass me the mic and I'm a grab at it
Well, isn't it delicious, crazy way that I'm kissin'
'Cause baby listen to this, don't wanna miss it while it's hittin'
Sometimes you gotta fit in to get in
But don't ever quit 'cause soon I'm gonna let you in, but see

Hey baby look at me go
From zero to hero
You better take it from a geek like me
I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums
Who wouldn't care if you com...plete him or not

So what I've got a short attention span
A coke in my hand
Because I'd rather have the afternoon, relax and understand
My hip hop and flip-flops it don't stop with the light rock
A shot to mock you kinda puts me in the tight spot
The hype is nothing more than hoo-ha so I'm
Developing a language and I'm callin' it my own
So take a peek into the speaker and you'll see what I mean
That on the other side the grass is greener

I don't care what you might think about me
You'll get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be the let down
But sugar don't forget what you already know
I could be the one to turn you out/on
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away

Like the geek in the pink
Well, I'm the geek in the pink, yo pink pink
Geek is the color for fall, I'm the geek in the pink yeah
So I'm the geek yo, in the pink yo.
Hahah, y'all geek is the new color for fall
I'm the geek in the pink

-Jason Mraz

Back in my day.

2012-01-20T19:26:00.002-06:00

I was dozing off into my textbook, and I wake up to see this picture. US History, WW2. This guy is handsome. It didn't actually click to me that guys from back in time, could actually look good.

When I think of history, I think of 'old' 'wrinkles' 'mustache' and 'ew'. But can you blame me? All I do in history is look at George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Kim Jong Il.

But this guy. This guy right here. Is running in a lake, with a bunch of other guys, to his death, basically. And this is real. This actually happened. Not saying that other stuff didn't happen..but I mean, this is something I didn't realize before. The other stuff I already realized. But about all these people, people that look Y O U N G. Like this guy right here, looks like a high school, college guy. And he's running in a lake to fight. Photographic evidence. That this guy right here. This attractive guy, and all his brave friends..fought in WW2.

It just never occurred to me before now.
Soldiers are very brave. Very very very brave.
I don't know why this picture had such an effect on me.

My brain's thoughts right now.

2012-01-20T19:09:00.003-06:00

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
I am so mad I could kick a tower of blocks, or a sandcastle, or a science project, and not feel bad at all.
Why is this happening to me.
I hate everyone.
Even babies.
Stupid babies.
I want to run away, and live in a cave.
People just let you down; so I'm gonna take a backpack, fill it with my favorite things, and run away to live in a cave by myself.
I want to cry, a waterfall of tears that never stops. Like a sink that takes a plumber 30 hours to fix.
Self pity. Self loathing.
Complain. Complain. Complain.

I got a bruise on my leg.

Hahaha, no. That's not my issue. I mean, I did get a nasty bruise today. But that's not it. I just get into a negative whirl of comments inside my brain. My brain can make ME cry. So I can make myself cry with silly negative teenage thoughts..I should probably stop that. But when I get in that mood. I'm in that mood. There is no stopping it. I'll just get in a fight at home, or a stupid thing at school, and woooooosh, off I go. I get stuck wishing things were different, and the whole time I'm wishing, I know that I'm being silly. I know that it could be worse. It can always be worse. But that never makes me feel better.

Spoiled teenager.

Oh wait. ^^
That was a negative comment.

Listen.

2012-01-18T18:13:00.003-06:00

Forever 21 dress. I actually found one with sleeves, which is great..because it's winter.

Sometimes I realize no one is listening. And I'm talking and really, no one listens. I have the voice that blends in to everyone else's voice. It isn't too low, or too high. It's just in the middle and I blend in.

I also make a lot of jokes, I never get serious at school. I mean, I do about school work. But overall I make jokes, and I can be serious to listen to people who have stories, or need advice. But sometimes I feel like when it gets quiet..people turn to me are look at me with expecting eyes like, "Say something, Ada." and sometimes my close friends are like, "Wow Ada, be quiet." Then I get quiet, because I'm always cool with that too. And they revert again, "Ada, talk!! It's boring when you don't."

Please make up your mind. I like being silly. That's always fun. I like listening, it's nice. But don't act like you are entitled to me being the entertainment. When I have a bad day, and all I want to do is cry, but I can't because I'm in the middle of Physics..I don't wanna hear, "Hurry up and feel better so you can tell us a funny story." I'd rather be left alone, or maybe comforted. Ya know, no big deal, just saying.

Everyone deserves to be listened to.

And when someone isn't being listened to, they speak and speak, and they try to be heard. But at some point..they give up. Look around, and make sure all your friends are doing okay. Ask them how they are, ask for a full life update, and make them feel appreciated.

Oh no..

2012-01-15T22:08:00.002-06:00

Took this of the clouds today. They look like scrambled eggs.

I am so stupid. I make stupid mistakes, over things that don't matter. And then I feel sad over them for long periods of time. I also got a big infected burn thing on my nose. So everyone will be looking when I get back to school. My life is a tragedy.

Last Dying Wishes.

2012-01-13T22:27:00.007-06:00

I meant to post this while I was actually in the process of dying a couple days ago. But I mean, I was dying so..I was too weak to make a post.

On Tuesday night, Wednesday, and Thursday, I had the flu. I was shaking, and hot, and cold at the same time. Aches, and no appetite. Headaches, my eyes also hurt.

I started to think the end of my life was nearing.

I composed a short will in my head, and now that I am obviously not dead..I decided to write down my will anyway.

Dear loved ones,
These objects are to be distributed out after my passing.

To be split up amongst my friends:
My slanket, because a blanket with sleeves is a terrible thing to waste.
My perfume samples, I felt so classy in a new way every day.
My recipe to the worlds quickest sandwich when you're on the go, (2 bread slices, no filler).
My green Keds, because I never did wear those..
My stack of Teen Vogue magazines..which taught me that orange pumps and green skirts make you 'fierce' and boys will like you.
My iPod, full of Kid Cudi and Disney music, because I am a rebel at heart.

Mother, I love you. Father, I love you. Brother 1, 2, 3, and 4. I love you all.
Bury me in a coffin made of recycled materials, and put Drake lyrics on my gravestone.

"Everybody dies but not everybody lives."

That was my will.

Allergic.

2012-01-07T11:46:00.002-06:00

Allergies. I spent maybe a measly 23 minutes outside and then pooooof. I'm sneezing repeatedly, I need a whole tissue box. And I just sit down and sneeze until I think I can't sneeze anymore. Oh wait. Yes I can. I dislike being allergic to Earth, I mean, that's kind of sad. That reminds me of that fish in Nemo who is H2O intolerant. A fish, allergic to the ocean. A teenager, allergic to Earth.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTPwcTlLiow

That link is just in case you are that one kid who never saw Finding Nemo. It's seriously a great movie. But that isn't the point. The point is. It's weird that I was born into this world, allergic to this world. And cats. Also cats. But I mean, it isn't a big deal. I can take a pill to stop the sneezing. But I just thought it was interesting.

Hi there.

2012-01-06T20:14:00.003-06:00

Fifty nine followers. Dang. That's a milestone. Look at the bags under my eyes. From all the typing. After 346 posts. I finally did it. I am an Internet celebrity. I'll sign autographs later guys.

Ayy baybay.

2012-01-06T20:04:00.003-06:00

Theodore is playing ball. Living his life. No big deal.

Waiting.

2012-01-05T17:52:00.004-06:00

I've always hated waiting.

For a birthday, special event, a person to arrive, a break, the holidays, money to come, or a letter to shoot through the mail.

What do you do while you wait..?
I find myself thinking of the silliest things. Or worse, I can't stop thinking of what I am actually waiting for. Torture.

So I just sit, and I feel like I can't breathe. I have to move, or talk, or do something. But the only reason waiting is so horrible is because whatever thing that I'm so anxiously expecting..that thing is better than what I was doing at the moment. I always wish that future moment could be swapped for the moment I am living right then and there. I'd rather be in the future than in the present.

I get ahead of myself.
I don't like sticking around, stalling, and standing there waiting for things to happen. I want to get to the good stuff.

Turtle Tags.

2012-01-05T17:43:00.005-06:00

I was roaming the streets with my friend, and we saw these. In separate places, we saw these "turtle tags" and I thought it was the coolest thing. Much better than just a little graffiti scribble.

If I could, I would want to make a tag. I think mine would be a..gosh. I don't even know. Maybe a giraffe. Just to be weird. Like, a tiny little giraffe tag.

What I did this morning.

2012-01-02T10:51:00.003-06:00

I took silly pictures. Not even silly. Just to pass the time actually.

I woke up, and it was bright, and then I ate turkey bacon, (breakfast of champions). I decided, even though yesterday sucked near the end. Today is gonna be a good day.

As far as things go for me, I get way too wound up in things. My feelings are always getting in the way. And then I kind of get trampled up. Like my heart is a piece of gum on the sidewalk everyone keeps stepping on.

But I'm better than that! So I'm scraping my feelings off that gummy sidewalk, and I'm gonna be a little thicker skinned. Because the things my heart and brain obsess over..I'm pretty sure no one even realizes. Like for example (stupid example): Someone says, "You look cute today." I obsess. So they only think I look cute today? So they generally don't like how I look, but today it's okay?

That's pitiful. I'm stopping that. I need to accept compliments. And quit over analyzing my situations. Because being lame is no fun.

Another note.
I took a picture of my eyeball.

Not joking, that's my eye. Okay, that's my blog for today. Bye.

Late New Year Post.

2012-01-02T10:37:00.005-06:00

Happy New Year everyone.
Don't get caught in a slump this year. Let yourself know how amazing you are. Do whatever you want to do.
Don't hold back, and don't waste time. Don't get caught up watching T.V. or sleeping the day away.

I made wishing stars. 100 exactly. I thought about it, and made 100 tiny wishes. Things I can achieve if I try hard, and stay focused. I think if I keep looking back to my "wish" list. I can really go out and get the things I aspire for.

I hope everyone is feeling optimistic about the new year.

Story of my life.

2012-01-02T10:32:00.002-06:00

I bought these shoes at Target. They came pre-tied. In pretty bows. The top stayed tied. The bottom one untied. I re-tied it. It doesn't seem to look the same when I re-tie it for some reason. Oh well.

Nerd Alert.

2011-12-28T13:14:00.006-06:00

Bananagrams. You make words, it's just basically Scrabble in a banana pouch. But I love it. I love the shiny little tiles with letters engraved in them. The bright yellow fabric, and the tiny yellow zipper. This game is perfect. Not to be like, crazy or anything. But I could sit in my room and just make words till forever and never get bored. Everyone should own this game.

I also will spend forever reading books, and playing free education games on my Kindle Touch I just received as a gift from mother. I read "Hunger Games" which was one of the best books I have ever read. The book goes like this. Suspense, suspense, suspense, action, suspense, suspense, emotion, action, emotion, suspense. I loooooved it.

Try looking at yourself as a baby.

2011-12-28T13:06:00.003-06:00

Look at me. At one point. Everyone looked like this. I found this photo, because for some reason I had the urge to find all my baby photos.

To me, I feel like you have different versions of yourself. You are not the same person at birth, or at 2. 3. 7. 11. 14. 16. 20. 30. 40. Your mindset changes, and things happen. And you look back on your past selves, and say "Wow, I was so silly. I can do so much better, I would never do that now." Things like that, are proof that you are always changing.

At the park with Theodore.

2011-12-28T11:06:00.006-06:00

I know what this looks like. But he was having fun, I swear. I'm one of those people, the one percent of people who doesn't have an iPhone or an iTouch, or any sort of phone with apps, or a touch screen. Or Internet. I'm kind of a rarity. I realized most people use that instagram app, and I was slighty jealous. I don't really care about iPhones themselves, but some of those apps seem sort of awesome. So I went to my best friend Google and looked up.."app like instagram but not instagram". Just kidding, that's stupid. But it was something like that. And I found PicYou. And then I made this picture. Which, was still totally cute beforehand. But thanks to Google I found a website that made it so I wasn't left out, and I can be just like the kids with iPhones.

Holiday Spirit?

2011-12-19T19:05:00.003-06:00

I'm kind of having a hard time getting into the holiday spirit. I feel like because of that, something is wrong with me. I'm not that chipper, and I'm not all too cheery. I haven't volunteered in a while. I'm being a little much of a bum. The most festive thing I've done is take a light string and wrap it around my lamp. I feel the urge to wake up early, like, bright and sun-shiny early, and just maybe sing. And eat a cinnamon roll, and then hug all my little brothers, read some children's books to them. Maybe, make hot cocoa, get dressed warmly, and then take some "artistic photos" out in the wilderness..(backyard).

Afterwards, I'll call up a friend, we can go get gifts, come home and wrap them, Maybe even make some gifts. Take skirts from Goodwill and hem them to fit. "Exercise?". Decorate. Clean. Call up people I haven't heard from in a while. STUDY, maybe. Be happy. Because, it's break. Winter break is here now, and I need to quit worrying about everything! Easier said than done. But maybe I can manage some of this.

I very much want a dog.

2011-12-13T18:20:00.003-06:00

I want a dog. Not now, but maybe when I'm sophisticated, and like 34, with a couple kids running around in the backyard..? I'll just throw a puppy into the mix and see what happens. I always wished my family had a dog, because just think of all those family adventures that might have happened.

Dog parks, and walks, playing ball, and making up silly non-sensical games with the dog. Dog getting named and nicknamed by each member of the home. So the dog has like 21 names..or eating dog food with the dog and gagging, because it looked just like cereal in the bowl.

These are things I hope my kids experience. Someday, when I'm sophisticated, and like 34..

WHAT IS THIS.

2011-12-13T17:42:00.003-06:00

What.
This is like the "Inception" of Ice Cream.

I seem to be seeing things like this all over, I saw this sign of Mister Shivers eating his own kind, a sweater knitted onto a sweater. Dreams within dreams within dreams. And then it all started reminding me of this joke that's been going around the Internet: The "Yo Dawg" joke.

Yo dawg, I herd you like cars, so we put a car in yo car so you can drive while you drive.
Yo dawg, I herd you like baking so we put an oven in yo oven so you can bake while you bake.
Et cetera.

It's just something I noticed, but seriously. That ice cream licking ice cream is really creepy.

Babies.

2011-12-08T00:12:00.003-06:00

Babies can rock anything. Tutus..giraffe sunglasses. Pom-pom hats. Tacky sweatshirts. Tiny suits. As long as it's on a baby, it's pretty cute. Also, there is no such thing as an "un-cute" baby. Some people are of the opinion that a baby can maybe be "gross and wrinkly" but hey, babies are a symbol of youth, and life, and new beginnings. I mean, yes, they are wrinkly, but they definitely can't help it.

This photo is of my little brother Abe from a while ago, he's actually 5 now. But he's still just as happy about everything as he was in this photo. Living his little kid life to the fullest, wearing rain boots, and orange shirts, and complimenting everyone on their achievements..such as turning off lights and opening doors. I wish people could sit down and remember what it was like to be a baby.

I wonder what we thought about. Loving our mother, weirded out by strangers, eating whatever was on a spoon that came towards our mouth. Crying when sad, laughing when happy. Being content saying nothing, and sleeping, So much sleeping. Babies have got it going on. I mean, really. They wear whatever, do whatever, and go by the "hakuna matata" lifestyle method. No worries.

Respect yourself, and don't get hurt.

2011-12-07T13:08:00.002-06:00

Mama always gives me advice, and I always ignore it. Then it happens, that thing I knew would happen, and I wish I had taken that helpful advice. I decided to be smart, and take the advice beforehand this time, and I still ended up the sucker in the end. I'm starting to think that you cannot avoid mistakes sometimes, even when you know what is going to happen.

So I decided that ultimately, you need to respect yourself. Care about yourself more, and others less. Keep a good balance, of friends, and family, and school, and fun. You are your first priority. Keep yourself in check, and in the end you'll be okay.

Ronald McDonald: A classy man.

2011-11-21T20:09:00.004-06:00

I took this at a very classy restaurant I've grown to love. McDonalds.

I find the new decor at 'The Golden Arches' to be a little odd, I mean, a chandelier? And a fireplace, a mantel with lovely paintings and "wood" chairs and "wood" tables. McDonalds! Stay true! You are and always will be, a salty, clumsy, fast food chain known all over the world. You will never be a 5 star restaurant. And you know what? I'm okay with that. You should be okay with that too.

Substitutes.

2011-11-20T01:01:00.006-06:00

I love getting substitutes. The various types, looks, shapes, and sizes of them. The misfits, the "unique" characteristics they have that stopped them from becoming actual teachers. Today in ceramics, we looked a pictures of various monkeys in books until we came to a picture of a monkey that looked like our substitute. Short, angry, large piercing eyes, red, bald. Gray tweed jacket, confused frown. We giggled like school kids do, and it just got me thinking:

I really wish I knew the story behind each sub. Why didn't they just become teachers? I have had a plethora of pushovers, and a collection of crazies. So many with minute personality disorders, or interesting outfits, war stories, anger issues, no trust in kids, or screechy voices. I've had a substitute speaking yiddish in class, claiming it was too hot, and she was "shvitzing up a storm in class" (sweating). Some subs just let you know that they hate you at the beginning of class, and let you know that "they have authority, and plenty of office slips". Intimidating. Ahah. Those substitutes that read a book all period. The ones that say, "you were such a good class!" then leave your teacher a bad note. The elderly men that fall asleep in class at the teacher's desk. The ones that claim to know everything, The creepy ones. The ones who do the opposite of what the teacher asks, forget to pass out the homework.

Maybe this is a skewed opinion or something, but you gotta be a little bit weird to be a substitute. Am I right?

LOL @ My Baby.

So this is my little brother, Theodore.

He's my youngest brother of four brothers. And oh man, I love to carry him around and take him places. In my life, whether it was with my baby cousin, or with a little brother of mine, I have been stopped and asked: If he or she was my baby. What is this world coming to? (I'm being dramatic.) But really? At some points I'm actually standing next to my mom, and I get asked if he's my baby, not hers. I was waiting at a light with my cousin in a stroller, a coffee firmly placed in the stroller's cup holder, cell phone and keys in hand, sunglasses, messy bun. I guess I looked like a busy young teen mom out running errands. So these twelve year olds paired into boy girl couples holding hands..they start to whisper, and giggle. Ah, preteen love. I look up, I can't resist. I mean, they were talking about me. One of the braver ones manages to stutter out, "Is that like, your baby?" After being asked by two grown men, and a grown woman, and now finally, some kids, I decided to have some fun. "Yes, yes, this is my baby. I had her when I was 13. Be safe, kids." The light turned to walk, and I stroller-ed away with my coffee, my keys, and my sunglasses. I felt pretty boss. The kids shyly stopped holding hands and watched me go.

But in all seriousness. It's those shows like, Sixteen and Pregnant, or Teen Mom. That make people subconsciously okay with young young young moms. Even when a real mom is standing right there. People would rather believe it was a teen.

What Happened To You, Mitchell??

The State Fair of Texas, 2011.

So that little llama? I got that bad boy at the State Fair of Texas this year. I feel like the Fair is one of the benefits of living in Texas. I got to eat a fried snickers bar and a bite of fried cheesecake. Those little nasty foods did not sit well with my stomach when I got home, and waged a large battle for a few days in my body. Stomach virus, hollaaaa! It sucked, but it was fun while it lasted. I got to see M I T C H E L L M U S S O. He is the most disgusting boy who ever used to be on Disney. He has tattoos now, sings for 12 and under kids, but strips off his shirt at the end of concerts, acne, lots of bouncing, jumping for no reason. And to think, he was on 'Hannah Montana'. Shocking really. But we had fun, pretty eventful day. I scored that llama, some rings for 1$, and we got some pretty interesting photos of Mitchell Musso's anarchy tattoo..wanna see?

Bahaha, oh goodness.

It was a very interesting image I ended up capturing. We giggled for a good solid minute about this photo, me and my friends did. We took a video, lots of footage and we made a YouTube video of our times at the state fair. I always insist on being a part of YouTube videos, because they are entertaining for sure! But then when I watch it I cringe at how awkward I am. But I also like to think it enhances the video.

In other news. Dubstep and Indie are playing on Pandora and I feel like a hipster. Just kidding.

Goody Two Shoes

2011-11-15T19:40:00.005-06:00

The moon through my dad's telescope. Cell phone camera.

I love to laugh. Today I successfully laughed so hard I cried solid tears, over really nothing that spectacular. A silly joke, maybe a child might giggle at. But me? Tears of laughter. I then spent the rest of Ceramics with the giggles and wiping tears off my cheeks. I really need to work on that, it's sort of embarrassing.

Ukulele update; I now have a handful of chords memorized, a few strum patterns, and the makings of a few songs down. Such as, "Best I Ever Had," by Drake, "The F.U.N. Song," by SpongeBob SquarePants, and Happy Birthday. Very impressive, to me anyway. My fingertips look like strawberry jelly beans from all the strumming and chord changing. My wimp fingers can't handle it.

I feel insanely jealous of everyone with a good camera, this year I have had the urge to take pictures of everything so I won't forget it. But unfortunately, with my phone camera, I really don't have much luck with the photo ops! I'm a fan of the new phones with a camera on the front, it can be quite rad sometimes.

Lately also, I have a bunch of kids coming up to me, calling me, texting me about their problems. Or things they are worried about, and I'm always there to help! What I came to realize though was it can be hard to find the right response. I'm not that good with words, advice, but I sure can be awkward, and smile and stuff. And sometimes that's all they might need. If only I could fix everyone's problems!

So in one of my classes, the kids constantly whine and complain about the simplest tasks in a regular class. You really can't get any lower, so I don't understand the complaining. At least it isn't PreAP work, or worse, AP work. It's fill in the blank notes, so fill it out, whiny babies..today a girl spent all period contradicting our teacher and saying his name wrong, doing basically whatever she wanted because I get the feeling no one has ever told her no. It really saddens me, because he works hard to make fun projects and keep class interesting, he isn't strict, pretty social. Again, why is this girl complaining? I'm not. So after a series of rough comments, he says, as a half-joke, "I guess I should just quit." And he looks at the floor, with annoyance, with this very calm seriousness that half the class picked up on and shut up the talking. Oblivious, she goes, "Glad you finally got the hint." In that moment I felt so close to screaming. I promised myself to make my poor teacher a card. A card of appreciation. For being a great teacher, for putting up with the junk he puts up with. I'll give it to him tomorrow, the sooner he sees it the better..!

Maybe that makes me a teacher's pet, a goody two shoes. I just want him to know that someone is listening.

Look at what a cell phone camera can do. No edit.
Rockaway Beach, Oregon, Summer 2011.

There is something about getting away, and just being away from where you were. A fresh slate, clean plate. You can be who you want, do what you want. You get to see if that grass is really greener on the other side. It just got me thinking, about how for me, college is a new start. The beauty in that. The sadness in that! Someone please tell me how bad it hurts to leave a high school. I already left one, after freshman year, but to leave my new high school senior year and go to college? Now there's a scary thought. I look back and thank my father for forcing me into theater and speech classes in middle school, which made comfortable talking to everyone and anyone, and made me the person I am today.

Just so I have it written down, so maybe I can look back on it, someday. I would love to be a Doctor, a Pediatrician. And go to a college in Texas, and a nice med school. I would like to travel to places with exquisite views, while I'm still young. I love the feeling of taking a photo that looks wonderful, no edit. It's just such a beautiful scene that the camera can't help but capture a beautiful snapshot. Natural beauty.

To the girl who thinks Power Balance wristbands actually help you balance. You are paying twenty dollars for a piece of rubber and a tiny magnet. Yes, the salesmen pushed, you, yes you fell. Yeah, you put that piece of rubber on, that expensive "magic" magnet. The man gently shoved you again, and bless your little heart, you didn't fall. Here's why: you were expecting it. You truly wanted to believe the "tripping and falling epidemic" could be cured with the payment of a Jackson, because it was such a reoccurring problem in your life obviously..I mean, falling is serious..people fall and trip all the time. I personally trip maybe 23 times a morning..not. Not a big deal, it's a mind game. A trick. And you, you fell for it. Literally.

"That" Friend.

2011-11-14T17:24:00.008-06:00

Friendship solid like a rock.

Everyone has that friend. That friend you aren't sure how you met, but they are that ever present part of your life. That friend that makes you feel lame, the one that makes that does all the stupid stuff with you, like jump off of high rocks or splash in lake water. Both of which, are really bad ideas by the way.

It's that one person who laughs at all the jokes, and spends all that time with you, but never gets sick of you for some odd reason you haven't figured out yet. The one you have life threatening moments with, no big deal, things happen. You almost get run over by a car, and they can say they were there.

They lift your mood, and toss those bad feelings out the window. It's okay to have a disagreement, it's okay when things don't go as planned. They help you to work things out, they help you realize things you didn't want to, they help you laugh at yourself. Everything is gonna be okay, you find.

It might be an unlikely friendship, like..like..an ox and a lichen bird? Helping a brother out. It's one of those weird things where you're left wondering how it happened. Life's interesting that way.

This person; you can cuss, and sing like Adele, and dance around them. Not a problem. You can be quiet. You can be loud, maybe pretend you are a celebrity, or improvise a rap. Life goals. Favorite foods. Weekend stories. This person is like a sponge, soaking it all in. And you become a sponge for them too.

Your friendship is pretty solid, like a rock. Like sponges? Like an ox, and a weird tiny bird. Friends are friends, and everyone should have this type of friend.

Rest In Peace, Yogurt.

The friendly greeting outside of YoLove.

Want my opinion? (Yes.) Frozen Yogurt on a summer day? Blueberry, Mango, Raspberry, Strawberry, mixed with fruit? Yes please. This place full of sweet yogurt from Heaven was built a five minute walk from my house! I could be sitting at home, and poof, five strenuous sunny sun sun labor filled minutes of walking later. I could be enjoying a freshly pumped cup of frozen yogurt. And I did this often. It was a memorable part of my summer.

After I moved I searched all across my new neighborhood for a cheap/convenient yogurt store. And I had no luck. I visit my old hometown with a friend and we decide to stop by, for memories and nostalgia. Only to find that, they closed!

I spiraled into grief for maybe ten minutes: at first, shock & denial. I refused to believe that the empty, rusty pipes where yogurt dispensers had once been were a sign. I disregarded the "closed forever" poster. I searched through the glass endlessly for the tables and brightly colored spoons. Next was, pain & guilt. I wished I had visited more often, maybe my money and constant support could have kept them in business? I wished for a time machine. I felt anger. It was just a yogurt shop? Couldn't they have kept the dang place open? What was so wrong? I banged on the door. I reflected on my loss, and just how great of a loss it was. I tried to pick the lock, I tried to reach for what I couldn't have. I stood there for a brief moment, until I felt that upward turn. I realized I could keep on living without YoLove. I would do the other things that made me happy, I took one last look. I kissed my hand and put it on the door..sending my love, to YoLove. I reconstructed my life and walked with my best friend to her car. As we drove away I felt acceptance, and hope.

I knew that I had spiraled my way through the seven stages of grief, and found my way forward. RIP YoLove. We will always miss you.

My Favorite Person

2011-11-02T19:21:00.010-05:00

Theodore; Age 2

My youngest sibling doesn't know how to lie yet, he doesn't steal, he doesn't cheat. He knows nothing of world problems or school or childish drama. He only knows his home, and his family. He hugs me when I come home from school, intertwines his tiny fingers with mine and walks me to my room. He worms under the covers with me in a blanket fort. He chases us around the house and would be okay with never stopping. He likes to take pictures. He likes to eat cheese sticks. He has been on this Earth for almost three years, and in that span of time he's learned how to hug, to kiss, to laugh, to smile, to play games, and make jokes, to run, and shout, and mix cookie dough in the bowl. He is perfect, in his own imperfect sort of way. His tiny crooked teeth that years of braces in Junior High will fix. Tiny scratches and bumped knees from intense playing. His choppy haircut, because of his dislike to sit still for them. Theodore Bernard Croft is going to grow up someday, and he will still be perfect. When I am settled into a life of my own, his will just be beginning, and I hope with all my heart that it'll be better than anything he ever dreamed of.

Keep your eyes open in class.

FACT: Teens need about 9 1/4 hours of sleep each night to function best (for some, 8 1/2 hours is enough). Most teens do not get enough sleep — one study found that only 15% reported sleeping 8 1/2 hours on school nights.

How many of you laughed reading that?

I did, I get 5-6 hours. I think that's about the same for other kids, because I'm 34 percent positive the kids in my Latin class are halfway asleep with me by the time we get derivatives and pronoun worksheets out. I sit there and literally hold my eyelids open. Time drags on. Kids start to lose consciousness. Our teacher snaps us all awake with yet another pronoun drill. Then..snoring. A book slams. Snort. "KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN IN CLASS, sir." The poor boy mumbles something that sounded like, "Ohffm Iyyyn sorreym." 23 eternal minutes left to stay awake, to sit in the uncomfortable chair that hurts to slump in. All there is to do is..Latin. I start thinking of interesting ways to leave class and sleep. Like pay a kid outside in the hall $5 to yell "FIRE!" so we can evacuate class.

I need more sleep. More sleep indeed.

My plan? Go to bed at 10:45, and awake at 6:45. That is 8 hours of wonderful sleep. I can do that. But if you notice, even that doesn't fill the required sleep hours. It must be impossible.

Light the night with the fires of friendship.

My best friends and I made that up, because it sounds tacky, and cliche. That's like the best kind of saying.

Anyway, busy weekend. Homecoming is so soon and I'm super-dee-duper excited. Being a junior in HS now, this kind of stuff is getting less but somehow even more important than it was the year before. I mean; a) I've done this whole thing 2 times before. But, b) After this, there is only 1 more left. Something to think about.

I got the date, the dress, the dinner, the dance. Every year is the same, I don't know why my drive to go is so strong. I guess it's a "gotta have it" teen thing.

If it weren't for planners this week I may have died of confusion, I had 3 tests, and 2 quizzes, and lots of reviews and homework. I just make lots of post it notes and to do lists so I actually remember everything that needs to get done. Oh yeah, and top that off with HOCO spirit week dress up days, and baking for surprise parties. It was just one of those dreadfully long weeks you spend staring at your non-existent watch like, "please, hurry up!".

I'm rewarded by this long four day weekend, with which I will be: Babysitting, and visiting the State Fair of Texas, and making HOCO shirts, and chit chatting with new friends, and practicing ukulele, and reading The Scarlet Letter. I will also be geeking out and adding odd things to my Amazon Wish List. Yes, I do that.

My friend and I took shadow pictures a couple days ago, I remember this was one of those things I used to do in middle school, maybe sixth grade? I thought I was pretty fly. I feel like everyone looks back on a past self, and says "dang, did I really do that?" and the answer is yes. Yes you did. But it's okay, because I think everyone feels this way at some point in their life.

I actually JUST looked at a picture of me, before braces, then during, then after. I can no longer remember, maybe just vaguely, what it was like to be a brace face. I remember metal, and pointy edges, the awkward in between each square bracket scrubbing I'd do every night. How flossing was a pain. And eating after appointments was a mix between torture and a chore. It was only months ago. Now, I am a free woman. I can do as I please, (as far as eating goes). Thank goodness for that!

Braces are worth it, Homecoming is worth it, Shadow pictures are worth taking, Cliche phrases are worth it to say. Because they brighten everyone's day.

Mr. Krabs: Attention all employees! Just giving you a heads-up. I'll be conducting a surprise uniform inspection in one hour. Whoever doesn't pass gets the boot.
[Pulls out a boot]
Mr. Krabs: This boot to be exact. It's very stinky, and you have to wear it all day.

To the boys with your hats at a 43 degree angle, with the long shaggy hair, and the stubble you don't wanna shave, with the 'whatever' attitude, not opening doors, or pushing in chairs..nice guys finish first, keep that fun fact in mind!

People that are allergic to cats will be able to pet them without sneezing and scratching. Genetically engineered cats will be produced to help people with allergies enjoy their sneeze-free kitties Allerca, Inc., a biotechnology firm in San Diego, California, says it has bred Hypoallergenic Cats and is now taking orders from customers in the United States.

You really have to stop caring what people think of you, you can't just say you don't care. You really have to stop wondering what other people think about your life and the adventures you choose to take, before you can be the person you want to be.

My ukulele training is going well, I am learning through YouTube and I've got to: strum, learn chords, memorize chords, strum whilst changing chords, more strumming, try an easy song, and so on. I'm determined.

As a little kid at the state fair, you think Big Tex is HUGE, but as you grow older, you come to find Big Tex was never as big as you thought he was!

I'm always annoyed at the giggling teenagers at the mall, except for when it's me and my friends. Then it's ok.

I hate copycats, get your own idea. I spent the time thinking of it, you spent half a second copy and pasting it. Is that fair?

Then please, GO SIT IN THE CORNER.
I always get angry with children in school who say the silliest, insensitive things. You can practically see the steam wooshing out my ears in anger sometimes. Kids these days. No respect for elders, or even kids their own age.

Everyone at school this week has been having a bad time I've noticed. For ceramics, we are making bowl #4 and we get to glaze it. I always picture something great and end with a lump of clay that might resemble a science experiment gone wrong. I want to make a mug next with something at the bottom, but it's easier said than done!

surprise frog in mug at the bottom.

I'll try it. I found an interesting website of brightly colored furniture/boutique things by 'Ada and Darcy'. http://adaanddarcy.blogspot.com/ People or places with my name in them fascinate me. I don't generally hear my name anywhere so that stuff is pretty neat. Like: http://www.howmanyofme.com is simply mind boggling, you get to see how many people have your name in the country. I think there are 6 of my name last I checked, (first and last).

I know I wasn't a "hipster listener" who liked Foster the People before they got popular, but I like them now that I've heard of them. I love when a song gets popular and everyone shouts indignantly "I was listening to [insert obscure band here] before they got big!". Hahaha, congrats. Now everyone else is listening too.

School is stressing, being Junior year and all. And I'm not sure which is harder, trying to get into the college of my dreams, or getting into Pottermore. It's a challenge, I must make it in. Unlike the music and obscure bands, I WAS there, I DID read, and quote, and love and cherish those HP characters, and cry at the end of the books. I think I qualify. I WILL also be sporting the Hagrid Lego keychain from Amazon when I get car keys and a license.

My friends will be so envious.

You walk on streets of gold.

I have so many goals, and I feel like there is not enough time to fufill them. But I think writing them down will help.
I'll tell you all my silly secret LIFE goals. The kind of things that may not all happen, but I do hope they will.

Jane Goodall

To meet a monkey, like Jane Goodall.
To take a road trip with good friends and have a good time.
To remember all the things I've done, and tell them to someone else, saying every detail.
To watch a meteor shower and fall asleep under the stars.
To go white water rafting.
To learn a sufficient amount of yoga.
To decorate things exactly as I want them.
To learn to pay bills, to solve problems, and live independently.
To visit another country; it feels odd to know that some people can live their whole lives in one house, one city, one state.
To fly, in some way.
To be in a band, it doesn't have to be famous. But how great would it be to sit in a weathered old rocking chair with a large photo album of band photos to amaze tiny grandchildren with.
To go on jury duty.
To sing, my family should know: my voice must filter through a cheese grater before it leaves my mouth. But I can dream!
To learn to dance.
To join Pottermore. It's so exclusive, and top secret. I must be in the group.
To plant a tree, a garden, to give back to the Earth that I live on.
To start a volunteer organization that spirals into a worldwide charity that saves lives and makes people happy.
To get to know my neighbors.
To go to college, and med school, and to become a doctor.
To be an extra in a film.
To be the best leader there ever was of my future daughter's girl scout troop.
To invent an ice cream flavor, name a crayon color, and tell a joke that has never been told.
To go to Sea World, to swim with a dolphin.
To live in an apartment up high, with a pool down below, and a tiny flower garden, and a hot cocoa machine.
To attend a major sporting event.

There is so much more.

If only, this lion could be my pet.

Ring ring. Ada: Who's this?
Librarian: The library, you returned a DVD case with no DVD in it. Please turn it in.
Ada: OH NO. OHHHH NO. OHHHHHHH MY GOOODNESS WHAAAT?! -sobbing- I am soo..sorry.

Joking, only joking, but I really felt bad. Plus I only had like a dollar in petty cash to pay the fine he later decided not to give me. I feel like a have a permanent scratch on my spotless library record. A pity really, I was so hoping to keep it perfecto.

JUNIOR YEAR. I'm an upperclassmen. Bahah, I sure don't feel like one. I remember being like 11 and being in awe of all the high school girls. So mature and grownup! I am now what I always was in awe of, a high school girl. But I don't feel mature and grownup like I thought I would. Maybe it kicks in later. I'm short, I get mistaken for a freshman, by most everyone I meet. I'm LUCKY if they think I'm a sophomore instead. Oh well, I guess when I am 30 I'll look 20, and everyone else will look 40. I'm so gosh darn youthful.

Homecoming isn't for more than a month, but it's such a big deal people make plans for it now. The whole thing ends up costing about as much as a red cap fancy goldfish would cost I just figured out, (care and feeding included). This makes me sad. What a waste of money HC is when I could just be anti social, not go, and stay at home with my new goldfish. I'd name it Naranja. I guess I just want to go because I'd hate to not go, peer pressure.

Maybe someday, I will get a goldfish. Just you wait.

Currently:

I'm really liking Freelance Whales. (fave song, 'Hannah') It's just nice and peaceful, quirky music.
I really have no idea what dubstep is, maybe that makes me clueless. I don't know. All I know is that this video scares the jeebies outta me. It's loud and scary and squealy and I don't appreciate it!

This video made me want to laugh, then cry, then have a nightmare, and now, without even knowing what dubstep is, I hate it. I don't know if you dance to this music, or if you nod appreciatively to it, or just go crazy and shake your arms around. Someone please clarify.

I feel a little guilty.

Hi.

I got on blogger after about two years to find, that in a way..nothing and everything had changed. I feel lost. But what I did notice had stayed the same was my followers. After 365 x 2 days, it remained the same. I have no idea what that says about my blog.

In the past two years I have: Moved away from my home, to a new one. I have made new friends, met new people, at a new school. I started a lot of things and never finished them. Got into trouble, got out of trouble. Made a Twitter. Struggled with school. Got a turtle. Learned to choose my friends wisely. I took a trip to Oregon this summer, and learned that trees can be beautiful. I got involved, which made me feel really good. I'm learning ukulele, (a gift from my aunt and uncle).

I took pictures, and tried to stay connected to everyone and everything. I finally realized it's better to be with a close group of few than a distant group of many. I learned that I like volunteering, and being in charge of things. I learned that I like when people confide in me. I decided I like traveling, fancy chocolate, and being polite.

I made it into the Children of the American Revolution. I finally started getting into the swing of things here in my new school. Junior year has started now, and I just know it's gonna be a busy year. I feel excited for the future, and all that it has in store for me.

I decided to start blogging again.

Snow!
Glorious snow!

We, this past week: Celebrated Gabby's birthday with donuts in first period. A dentist trip. A car breaking down. An Asian food mart. A yogurt shop. Photo booth photos. A balsa wood bridge catastrophe. Starbucks. Walmart. 3$ shirt bargains. Father-Daughter dance set up. And then lastly, a snowball fight times 4 and a hot cocoa break/ twister game.

I look around and all I see are snowmen, on the roof on the sidewalk, in the road, in the yard. Crappy, realistic, dog-like, clothed, carrot nosed. The best part about making the snow men was that the people helping you didn't have to know you to help--they just helped. At one point we had adults, parents, and kids from down the blog working to make the biggest snowmen ever built. We came across a problem though when the midsection was to heavy to lift with 6 of us working.

Today is Tommy's birthday! He reached the big double digit age this historic day in time. He got Wii Sports and a Bop it and so we've been Boppin it all day! I know it isn't that cool to just sit at home and try to beat a bop it high score over and over again but---I made it to 46!

Snowmen photos! You'll notice only two photos. But assume there might be more someday.

I want to go to a build a bear party, soon. With all my friends and we'd celebrate a new age with a stuffed animal and I'd make--a brown chunky bear with orange boxers and I'd name it Stanley. All together it would cost $14.50. I think its worth it. That together is cheaper than some of the other bears.

Just go to the Build A Bear website to get your own bear ideas(: It got me all excited.

Wanna toothbrush with that order of fries?

My Idea: I have an obsession with lotion, only the different scented kinds. For instance, if someone told me I could have Sweet Pea BBWorks lotion for the rest of my life. I would get sick of it. But how cool would it be if there was a club where each month they gave you a medium bottle of a different scent BBWorks lotion. So you used up most of the first by the time you got your new one! Maybe that is already around but, cool right?

Math class: When it's not making me learn and get a bigger brain, it's pissing me off. I went to tutorials and asked at least 20 questions a minute, everyone else in tutorials just saying nothing, and most likely annoyed on the inside. It doesn't help when on the intercom all you hear is "Can-Can dancers meet in room C350, Can-Can in C350." I didn't even know we had a Can-Can club here. Haha, my math teacher is a big help though.

When I watched the last part of the Iron Giant, I cried a little.

After a friendly visit with my Dentist--who said I had no cavities and gave me a sugar free lollipop which I love, we went to McDonalds. Dr John's candy website.

My friend Lyna and I made up something for us and our friends called the Sharing Shirt, a plain white shirt with the title of it in black letters on the front. And us 8 or 9 will rotate it out and after we are done wearing and washing it, we sharpie our names on the back to show we were cool and wore the shirt. Feel free to start this trend across America, I think it could be a hit. I claim the fame for the idea though.

Super Size Me was funny, and it's all about a guy who tries to eat McDonalds every day for (a while?) and he goes through some drastic changes.

Book: Harry Potter 3-They don't give Hermione Granger enough credit in the book, they just say she has "mousy brown hair" and make her seem almost ugly. But in the movie with Emma Roberts, she is really pretty. (: , The Color Purple, and Things Fall Apart.

What I want, light light light pink nail polish and a Sonic Ice Maker.

Get those britches off the ground sir.

Tip of the week for myself:
Don't blow your money on each friend's birthday and every holiday, they won't care too
badly if you skip Saint Patty's day to save some green. I feel like I am always blowing my money on
that kind of stuff.

Music:
Train-Hey, Soul Sister
Iron Man-Rooney

Superheroes:
My Geometry Teacher
Shaggy from Scooby Doo

Bought some:
-Plaid Pajamas
-Orbit Maui Melon Mint Gum

Really Liking:
Taking walks with my little brother.

I noted that:
This guy didn't care what people thought of him.

Shout out to this guy, he's just entertaining himself by posing and braving
the oddness of it alone, with no iPod--just...his costume. I hope people come to
get their taxes done @ Liberty Tax.

"Community Service"
On Sunday I woke up at 9 am to help clean a teacher's room simply because it was messy. I got
some cool stuff out of doing it though, like a towel from Japan (SS teacher) and a spiral, pencil bag!
Dr. Suess pencils, and post it notes.

Also.
I have all A's and B's! I managed to slip by this semester!

We went to 1/2 price books to sell some and while we waited we went into a horridly nasty little petshop where the parrots are loose and screaming, the dogs live in cubicles, and the ferrets are held by emos and they both bite. The aquarium was cool though, fishes are harmless--soundless-and don't mind living in cubes.

Way to go you fishes.

Summer's only 5 months away.

2010-01-14T15:16:00.005-06:00

[[click to enlarge the photo a bunch]]

In case you cannot read my scanned notebook paper--it's a summer goals list. It's a little typical but it all makes me excited just thinking about it. Like for one thing. In 5--almost 4 months...I'm gonna be 15! Gonna go from a ghostly white to at least a light light tan hopefully. Get the nerve up to ask someone to stab my ear (ear's pierced). Braces off by then maybe? Train for Cross country next year, not be a freshman. Wave my hair and get girly-er clothes rather than my super awesome sweatshirts(:

Get Facebook, have a lemonade stand, sell things, make money, buy things. Form an electric imaginary band call lightning love for cool kids (just joking) I'm on electric drums and maracas. Go camping in a backyard, eat food. Go swimming! Oh and a 6 day summer camp. So you know--just typical stuff. It's gonna be awesome!

February in itself will be cool too, cookies and valentines. Birthdays, and things. Today I saw a kid jump on top of another kid in the hallway, get arrested, and then it was like--life went on. Hope next month they learn to share the love.

Taylor Lautner? Where!?

2010-01-07T15:49:00.005-06:00

In Alex's room of course. I went to my friend's house and she got a life size cardboard of him. Scared me half to death when I walked into her room. It was cool though, if you like staring at him before bedtime, and when you wake up, and when your doing homework...etc.

Me, and like 6 other girls went to Alex's house and watched the modern Romeo and Juliet movie with Leonardo Decaprio in it. (!!) We ate twizzlers and took pictures of our favorite screens, (what dweebs) like this one happened to make us all laugh out loud. Where it closes in on Leo's face and he's just staring horrified into the camera and it gets quiet. It was like one of those "I see dead people" moments from the sixth sense. Which was a cool movie btw, so was cloudy with a chance of meatballs--thanks to my mom we actually ate spaghetti and meatballs while watching. (: The picture:

So then one of the girls pops out her iphone and goes to facebook. tap tap tap.

"According to face book it's snowing guys!"
We all think to check her iPhone before we look out the window to see if it's true. It is! We have a snowball fight and call it a day.

My best friend Zoe and I, my eyes are squinting in the cold. I took the picture with my phone camera so they are not the best quality but hey. No cameras perfect. That's why I'm blue and Taylor Lautner is green in the pictures.

Hope you had a fun winter break!

I am going to smack the dickens out of you, pencil bag stealer.

2010-01-07T15:34:00.003-06:00

I've lost 2 pencils bags to the pencil bag stealer. In two weeks. I'm running out of supplies quick. I bet your thinking, "Ada must be all kinds of stupid to lose a freaking pencil bag and then lose another one a week later." But I don't do that sort of thing. So I'm convinced that I had the first one, left it in a class. And someone saw all my my markers and took them then did who knows what with the bag. I was upset because i had lost 12 markers 6 mechanical pencils and some random crap inside it. But I tried to put it all in the past and cheer myself up. So I put 10 markers and 5 pencils as well as a 4 buck BB Works Moonlit path lotion, a sign from my friend, and the oh so memorable Great Wold Lodge bracelet inside a NEW pencil bag figuring it wouldn't happen again. That it was just a one time thing. It's gone.

It was on the table in 2nd period. Then after that. Gone. I hate you pencil bag taker. You just cost me 17 dollars to replace 22 markers, 11 mechanical pencils, a lotion, pair of scissors, mini calculator, a sign, and a priceless moment, as well as some stickers, and a random hair tie or two.

I hope someone takes your pencils, you thief.

2009-12-31T22:16:00.004-06:00

It snowed so we made a snowman, simple as that. Except that Mr. Stan the Snowman should have been nice and white. He ended up grassy and kinda crappy looking. We liked him just the same.

iTunes AudioBook Review-Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

2009-12-31T21:44:00.005-06:00

In General:
To me, buying the audio book for $ 6.95 on iTunes was much better than paying about 15 $ and shoving it in the bookcase. It was just the fact that Alice Sebold actually read the book to me. Sometimes I just can't keep my eyes open to read for that long. It was well worth it because it was about 10 hours long so it got me to sleep at night for like 2 weeks. Every time I was about to shut off my iPod for the night, something interesting would be read so I would keep it on for another 20 minutes. Doesn't take very much space on the iPod. Like 5 songs worth.

The Story:
About a 14 year old girl, Susie Salmon who is killed in a cornfield and tells the story while she looks above from her personal heaven at how the people around her cope. What each person does and how they drastically change in the span of almost ten years. Funny and sad, it kept--like on edge the entire time.

Extra Facts:
I rate this 5 out of 5 stars.
Movie of this book came out December 11, 2009.

Butt Calls

2009-12-31T19:38:00.004-06:00

I just got a Butt Call, yeah--a Butt Call. Due to my name Ada, I am usually at the top of people's alphabetical phone lists. So when they stick their phone in their back pocket and sit on it. Their phone will usually call me to have a chat. Sometimes they say the weirdest things.

Ring Ring!
Ada: Yo?
--??--: jdskf;fbfdsk;b grrrrrrrrrns;nfdfd;kbndsf;bf; ahhhhh!
click.

3 minutes later.

Ring Ring!
Ada: Hi?
--??--: ahh, pass the chips....thanks dad! so how is the weather in canada gramps. glad you flew in for new years. fbsakjfb;kdjbzkjbbdjflksbsd AHHHH!
click.

I just assume that they butt called me and I should just get over it. One day I told someone, don'tcha just HATE butt calls? Hmm? No. What's a butt call? She had never experienced this problem as her name started with M. I guess it's just me.

-Ada

Que?

2009-11-05T19:53:00.006-06:00

I always find myself wondering what the heck is going on. I can only follow Spanglish, like half english with some random Spanish words tossed in. It seems like everyone I know is "Half this, or half that" and wouldn't you know it. Me and my family have been full white since forever practically. But people think I am Hispanic (even though I am totally tan-less) which makes for some awkward moments.

Kid: Hola! ¿cómo estás?
Me: bien...
Kid: ...
Me: Lo siento, no hablo español
Kid: Want some chicle?
Me: Gum? Gracias!

So I can usually figure out the Spanglish well. Being un-diverse sucks.

so guess what!

I got in trouble at school for having my phone out, and I was taking pictures of my friends in PE which long story short resulted in me sitting with Kinsey in a quiet room for 8 hours. It wasn't that bad. Because 24 others kids were with me too. And we got to eat food. But I'll never take out my camera in school again. Because thats for stupid people. And I'm not stupid, hahaaa(:
The pictures are of Abe and I and on the webcam. Abe likes pictures. I added family blog links for your enjoyment so you can see what my bubbas talk about too! Its in the sidebar.

as for homecoming

It was cool, we all went to macaroni grill and then to homecoming and the I fell asleep at gabby's. It was way to hyped up over though, but maybe I'm just not getting it. I had a ton of fun though(:

best little boy ever.

-ada

I think you owe me a million dollars.

2009-10-31T11:27:00.003-05:00

Because we lost 7 to 37 last night. Not like I was watching that much anyway. But it was really cool! The first football game I have ever been to. It was amazing to see the packed bleachers and how high up we were. I was with Gabby and Lyna and we stopped and took a picture.

Even in the aspect of how our football players were introduced and how the opposing team did it; they had a band and a fog machine while we had a band and that was it.

The had 3 times the cheerleaders, but we had more people show up on our side to cheer our team on.

Today is Halloween, and Homecoming. I am pretty pumped but honestly, I can't wait till it's all over. I miss the days where I went to school and had the weekend to chill. This week was and is just gonna be crazy!

Monday-Average joe day.
Tuesday-Teachers packed in lots of tests and hw.
Wednesday-Homecoming Court votes.
Thursday-Find out the court people. And a parade that got rained on.
Friday-Was the Homecoming Game and the Mums Garters, and Pep Rally.
Saturday-Homecoming and Halloween
Sunday-Clean up my mess and never do this again.

It rained on my parade today(:

2009-10-29T18:53:00.007-05:00

Parade:
But regardless, today was great. I haven't posted anything spectacular in a while but I figure I ought to. I get the feeling that if it wasn't already...my blog is dead! Today was the Homecoming Parade, tomorrow is the homecoming game, and the next day is Halloween and also Homecoming. I am quite excited for it. It is a really BIG deal here. Homecoming shirts and all that, the saddest part is. I bet you a million the other team kicks our butt tomorrow.

Halloween :
Tommy is a ghoul like thing with red eyes and Abe is Davy Crockett for Halloween.

Books:
I am reading the book A House on Mango Street and I just got done reading To Kill A Mockingbird.

Tid bit:
I have a HUGE want, to go to an aquarium.

Quick fact:
The praying mantis is the only insect that can turn it's head.

Good Websites I found:
Defaced Bills
Future Me, Email your future self.

So I walk to school and so far, I think I am a better person because of it.

I have been chased by a dog and a bee.
I have been asked to smoke 3 times. ( I said no! Then I ran away. )
I have barked at by a dog behind a fence 43242497 times.
Scared to death because it's dark: 29 times
Approached to chat with a random neighbor: 2 times
Neighbors avoided: 3
I have walked to school in the rain about 13 times.
I have walked to school in the rain with a platter of pancakes and managed to keep them moist and hot.
I need a car.

I am so happy! All these holidays are coming up and everything is just a blur of things to do. And we went camping!

It was veryveryvery cool. We went on a paddle boat. And the trees were taller than buildings. Lots of buildings. We were there with a lot of people. It was cold so my mom got an electric blanket. And thick sleeping bags on cots. We made pancakes and ate podered donuts for breakfast with bacon. And for diner we had smores and chicken with potatoes, thank you emily(: it was very good.

Here are those pictures.

On the paddle boat

I think my dad looks quite happy in this picture.

Goodbye for now!

Mad dog disease-im scared!

2009-10-06T15:06:00.005-05:00

Exaggeration: I almost died today.

What actually happened: A dog with out a leash or collar ran up to my back pack in the alleyway and bit it, growled, and ran away. I got the prickly tears of fear in my eyes. I got so close to me, I thought it was gonna jump up and bite me!

Oh the joys of having to get myself together and continue walking home.

The things I am personally looking forward to at the moment are the holidays, all of the good bundle that comes together in the course of 3 months. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then "Snowflake holidays" in my mind. Like Christmas and all that good stuff. Kwanzaa, Humanlight(: haha. I love going to the mini downtown shops and buying gifts for my brothers while they are trying to buy gifts for me and we are all trying to be sly about it.

So in global we have this project on Canada, and I got the cool people group. We made a video and I'll show you in a bit. Just warning you now I may "forget" to post it because I look horridly stupid in each video.

In highschool latley, all the rage is having a boyfriend you don't talk to. And talking bunches to the guys you aren't going out with. Which is lame right?

Girl 1: Who's you bf? Like omg.
Girl 2: I think his name is Dillan.
Girl 1: Wowww(: He sounds great. You guys talk?
Girl 2: No, we text. Which is like talking except we never actually talk face to face.
Girl 1: You are so cool, I broke up with my bf after 3 days.
Girl 2: I'm fixing to break up with...(searches mind to remember name) Dillan...on Thursday.

LAME right? I just wanted to yell, "Talk to your dang boyfriend!" These are the times when I agree with my mom that texting is for shy losers.

Pay me three dollars and I will take a picture of your baby.

2009-09-19T13:05:00.006-05:00

Yeeeah, he's a cutie.

I love him so much. :) Lately he has been eating these things called Mum Mums? Num Mums? Num Nums? I'm not sure, but they look like pieces of foam. Except it's food. Made of rice. I nibbled it. It tastes like nothing.

Doesn't it look like a professional photo!?

In other news.

My mom got me a bendy lamp! I love it. Its on of those lamps that looks like and octopus with bendy legs. Except more like... a lamp. So here it is. clicky.

Oh and one other thing. This year is different due to the fact that instead of dressing crazy for Halloween. I am gonna be dressing pretty. Homecoming is on Halloween for High school so, I suppose I am to go? I think it'll be great though. I've never been to a dance on Halloween so I'm sure if anything it'll be a first. BUT, if I were to wear a costume this year and I was not to be judged-or made fun of for it. I'd wear this one.

I would look like a man/bug wearing pink spandex and I would be free to do as I pleased and rob people of their candy. I got this off of Target.com so if you are actually interested in being a Power Ranger for Halloween, now you know where to go.

Things I used to do or always wanted to do, on Halloween.

If a snotty kid said, "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!" I always wanted to respond by:

a) Slamming the door.
b) Giving him one measly piece of crappy candy. (which is what I would do)
c) glare silently until he/she walks away.

Always organize your candy with your friends before you all eat it. Trade with one another so you each get the most of your favorite candy, mine was the Reese's peanut butter cups.

Hit up houses on busy streets you already went to because they usually don't remember you were there 2 hours before.

Be friendly and they give you more. Never trick. Its lame. Besides. You'd also have a guilty conscience afterward. (Don't egg houses, fork the yard, soap the yard, plastic wrap or TP the house. :)

So because this post is coming to an end. I have some questions for you.

1. Ever eaten baby food as a non-baby? What was it?

2. Homecoming, lame or fun.

3. How old is too old to Trick or Treat?

4. And lastly, ever TP-ed a house or something similar?

Thanks for reading, have fun on these holidays! Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Winter Formals and dances. Loads of fun(:

Today I am a fountain pen.

2009-09-10T17:38:00.005-05:00

In honor of my three hundredth post.

I encourage you to look at my oldest posts, I was so young then.
My writing style and the way I actually thought things out is completely different now.

I yet another picture of Abe, hes so stunning in sunglasses.
As my mom put it, he looks like a
"rebel without a cause"
and to imagine he is only 3. Such potential.

And my best friend's little sister has mermaid eyes.
Little green and blue swirl eyes. While my best friend herself has
blue and white ice like eyes. My other best friend has bright green eyes.

I have brown eyes. Regular brown. But my friends say they have
little gold rings. I like eyes, I like them a lot.

With every kid I know this is true, they all love to act things out.
"Pretend I am falling down a volcano!" When all you are really doing is:
Sliding down a McDonald slide on your stomach.

"Can we be mermaids? I will be Sierra and you can be Cookie, and Sammy can be Sea shine."
The swimming pool is your only inspiration.

I have a picture of me and my best friend in preschool with some My Little Ponies.
We are making them go through the most random things. Trips to the store and parties.
Kidnappings and...more parties.

I don't know why we all do it though.

-ada

I wish.

2009-09-09T16:58:00.004-05:00

Sometimes I wish I was mute for the day, the days I chose. Maybe I was tired and didn't feel like answering questions and talking that day. Only listening and nodding yes or no. Smiling occasionally. It seems nice. But not all the time.

Imagine how nice people could be if we couldn't speak. Sometimes speaking ruins it. Your point I mean, sometimes pictures get it across better. I suppose this is also why they say you have to choose your words wisely. Use them well? Less is always better.

I am horrid at getting ideas across. If you know me then you know I cannot think on my feet as well as others. But I guess that is what speech and debate classes are for :)

-ada

Also: A song I used to love.

You can see it in their eyes, they're having a good time(:

2009-09-07T16:07:00.004-05:00

I went to my bfffl Zoe's house and she has one of those popular iPhones. Which everyone has but me, but it is OK because I am in love with my LG Shine.

Anyway. We took this picture a while ago and she edited it with some app on her phone and sent it to me through her phone to my email. And bam here it is. Magical. NOTE: The two symmetrical random pigs. I suppose they are just there because they are cute. Hahaa.

and mom--I'm sorry i am sticking my tongue out yet again in a picture(:

so anyway. I hung out at her house for a while and it was loads of fun.

On to my other news.

I am trying to redo my room. Lemme give you a good view of it in vague words.
Average, white walls, window, closet bed, desk, lamp, book shelf. Hot pinkish.
Embarrassing little puppy print in the corner of the room I hand painted there myself 5 years ago.
I cover it up with signs my friends make me but I am gonna get rid of it now.

BUT

Minus the the puppy print(: Not much is really changing in my idea of it.
Black and white comforter maybe someday. Zebra print baby(: Just kidding.
Something tells me that is a little over the top. Too odd maybe?
With a rug of some sort. New curtains and to paint over
the puppy print. Some posters instead of hand made signs.

EASY ENOUGH.

____________________________________________________

I also want this shirt from Smosh.com.

I like it(:

Oh by the way, quick question:

iPhone or G Phone?
Smosh Lover?
Any room tips or places I should go?

UNLESS

2009-09-05T21:21:00.005-05:00

"UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It's not."

We went to the Arboretum and they had little story book flower houses. Each with a different story. This one was the Lorax, by Dr. Seuss. I absolutely love that book and the cartoon video of it makes me want to cry. I always feel so bad at the end, those last three quotes of the book.

And it makes me really want to plant a tree and save the Humming Fish and the Swo-mee Swans and those little Bar-ba-loots.

"SO...
Catch!" calls the Once-ler.
He lets something fall.
"Its a Truffula Seed.
It's the last one of all!"

Some were books that I have actually never read before--and admission was 1 dollar. Go flowers. Flower power(:

This little hut had flowers a slide, the "Once-ler's hut" and a little speak and say tube where you hear them on the other end. Abe had fun with it. Tommy is on the right--waiting his turn to try I suppose. It was cool to look around and just see flowers, and fountains, and little story book huts.

"You're in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.
And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.
Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come back."

Camp Quest-Summer of 09'

2009-09-05T12:58:00.006-05:00

I went to Camp Quest(:
There is a picture of my brother--Ben is holding a chicken. I didn't hold one because chickens are freeeking creepy.

I have a bunch of other pictures. It was the first Camp Quest in Texas so there were news reporters lurking around too. Behind bushes and what not--telling us to act natural and pretend there wasn't a team of them with a hundred pounds of equipment on their backs.

Also there was a guy there helping out who is a "Professional Santa Claus" he was hilarious. I took his picture. The place was a farm and also a petting zoo so after a while we got used to the llamas and chickens roaming the place. No joke--there were llamas. There were also a bunch of bunnies, cows, horses, pigs, dogs, cats, chicks, and kangaroos. (awesome right?) We made pottery and my plate bowl thing came out better than a professional. In my mind anyway. We ran around and it was the best ever. Here are some pictures.

New born piglets(:

The REAL Santa Claus!

He could be a model and he don't even try(:

2009-09-05T10:49:00.003-05:00

Abe is sporting the latest winter apparel in 100 degree Texas weather. We even walked around the block like that. He piggybacked rode home because he got tired.

I swear that baby could be a model because he loves to wear either.

a) lots of clothes.
b) barely anything.

It's quite cute. Mmh, guess what?

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

I haven't blogged in a long long time. So now I am trying to be cool on here again. Because I left for a long time I feel out of some sort of loop. Like I totally missed something. So if your reading this. Fill me in and make me feel cool. A lot of my newer posts will have pictures and actually make sense because I know for like the entire summer my posts made NO sense whatsoever.

Explanation:

I got slightly lazy with explaining and just wrote key words for my own reference to look back on. But the problem with that is---I am not gonna remember if I use keywords. So later I am gonna write out all the stuff.

Thanks for reading(:

Things I have learned from highschool.

LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK >.>
I found my mommy's old glasses! I think they're spectacular.

1. No one pushes you in a trashcan. There are no trashcans.

2. Everything your earlier teachers said "No gum--assigned seats etc.
It'll prepare you for high school" Was a lie. I can do much more now than I could before.

3. Walking to school in the morning is fun, even when the neighbors dogs jerk me out of my daze with their annoying barking.

4. A lot of people smoke. But I won't.

5. A lot of things are taken both ways-- as a compliment or an insult. So most just don't say anything at all.

6. Walking home sucks.

7. Everyone is funny.

8. We carry everything in our backpack--no lockers!

9. Procrastinating is not a good thing to do in high school.

10. I have had a lot of fun--its been crazy(:

Oh, remember me? I used to blog. Sorry):

Movies:

The Proposal, a movie about a lady who marries a man so she won't be deported to Canada. Then they actually end up falling in love. Although the story is in like every other movie. I laughed out loud a lot. Most movies can't get me to do that. >.<

Stores to go to again:

Defiantly ---- Dillards, I would request to go there again. I went and saw a variety of clothes and dresses that renewed my liking for department stores.

I would also like to go to Platos Closet although I have never been.

Things I recommend might keep you entertained:

Bounce houses, Pizza, The pool, and a party in your backyard, more swimming.
I went to my friend's house, then after I came home we made orange flubber and homemade ice cream.

Stereotypes and things I believed when I was young.

2009-07-07T13:46:00.004-05:00

There are some mini stereo types and random bits in my mind that I always think about. Never bad, just...past experience.

1. Women with curly hair and their own children are ALWAYS nice.
2. Although red generally is the lucky color in China, for me it is a calming color. Close to home color, you could say.
3. After I get a tan, I stop feeling tan and glowy exactly 2 days after I receive the tan. Even though I still have the tan.
4. When I get a sunburn, I still feel RED even after the sunburn is long gone.
5. I will never eat a hot dog they are made of play-do and puppies.
6. Motorcycles are for killing people, not for riding.
7. Songs are better when you know all the lyrics. No good if you can't sing it.
8. Sequels to movies make me barf.
9. There will always be someone wearing something odd in Subway while I order a sandwich.
10. Ego Sum Nauta -- I am a sailor. (Latin) Best phrase ever.

Hey py-zan-ohs its the super mario brothers super show!

2009-07-04T16:14:00.004-05:00

OK everyone is entitled to at least 1 slow week in the summer. Last week was mine. I didn't do much except read. I went on a sleepover at my neighbor's. 4 corners. We played rock band at which I actually rock at.

The thing about rock band is that it is very...repetitive on the drums. Because essentially all drums do is create a rhythm. Which is this.

Tap tap tap...pause...tap tap tap.
__________________________________________________

Anyway, we don't have cable at our house so whenever I go to her house her TV is on and I am always stealing a side glance at it until I get bored of it, 5 min tops. But when we were falling asleep she left the TV on and I didn't know how to turn it off. And after a while the droning commercials and interesting shows were too much! I had to keep watching, I am obviously not used to cable. I stayed up an hour longer than her just in awe over it. I couldn't turn it off so I just attempted to turn the volume down,

close enough.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Cookies and the pool and a LOT of Myth Busters. The best show ever.

And there were some weird stuff that happened this week though, a bird exploded in our back yard. Don't ask. I went with Ben and Tommy to 4 corners with ten dollars and came back with one dollar.

WEEK IS OVER.

Springy

2009-06-27T10:50:00.001-05:00

A wise man once said, "A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs, jolted by every pebble in the road."

I know some people who don't have springs, luckily I myself am very very springy. xD

I appreciate you and the things you do.

2009-06-26T15:40:00.002-05:00

I found my iPod!
I feel very relieved now.
I found them in the place where it usually is,
silly ada. xD it had me worried sick.

Thank you Grandpa Bob for the:
Amazing iPod, I have been using it every day since
you gave it to me for the holidays some time ago!

BEST EVER! I love you Grandpa!

Micheal Jackson died today.

2009-06-25T19:53:00.002-05:00

Even though I hated him with a passion, it is very surprising that the man died. I saw him as someone who would never die--despite the harm he caused himself and others. I used to watch Saved by the Bell a while back and one of the girls was on a sleepover with a couple others. When asked who she wanted to marry, the girl replied "Micheal Jackson, isn't he dreamy!?" I admit, he was a pleasant person when he was like 15 or so but as time went on. I kinda feel bad, the idol is gone now. He was found at age 50 today, not breathing in his home.

When Britney Spears dies, and Miley Cyrus...I suspect I am gonna have the same feeling.

don't be suprised, it's only a cat 2 inches from your face.

2009-06-24T16:12:00.009-05:00

I was on the phone looking out the window, I was bored.

People have a habit of running in front of my window, it startles me. Yet it is still my favorite spot to talk on the phone. While I sat and talked I saw, 2 birds. One blue and one black. I also saw 8 kids skateboarding all together and attempting a weird form of basketball with a trashcan. And a couple runners. Last but not least, our neighbor's cat which bravely jumped on my window sill. I am allergic to cats, and at the same time...I didn't want the cat to leave because it was funny enough to sit there in the first place. I hung up the phone, explaining to them that a cat was 2 inches from my face.

I opened the window a centimeter to keep the cat interested in my house, and screamed "BEN, THERE"S A CAT ON THE WINDOWSILL!" Ben, and the rest of the family came running. Tommy got it water and we ran out to the front to pet it. I did, even though I'm allergic. I washed my hands and I was relatively fine. Ben on the other hand is massively allergic to cats and took a shower after the encounter. Tommy and Abe had a fun time petting the kitty.

Abe grabbed it's tail and it didn't mind, Tommy hugged it. I took pictures. I don't understand why we got so worked up over the neighborhood cat, it seems silly now but gosh that cat scared the bananas outta me when it jumped at my window.

I found this downright insulting.

2009-06-22T23:11:00.004-05:00

You Are Pork
``````
You like to think you're the other white meat, but many people don't want anything to do with you.You probably smoke. And it's likely that no body part of yours is off limits.

I took the what meat are you quiz and that was my result, I think im more like meat loaf or something.

BUT!

I took the what sesame street character are you quiz and got this:

You Are Cookie Monster
Misunderstood as a primal monster, you're a true hedonist with a huge sweet tooth.You are usually feeling: Hungry. Cookies are preferred, but you'll eat anything if cookies aren't around.You are famous for: Your slightly crazy eyes and usual way of speakingHow you life your life: In the moment. "Me want COOKIE!"

2nd Week Of Summer, Happy Fathers Day!

2009-06-21T15:26:00.009-05:00

Monday, June 15th

I went with Gabby and saw the movie 17 Again, w/ Zach Effron. I thought it would be stupid but it was actually OK, and some parts were funny and others kinda weird. Then we ended up coming home and watching HSM 3 with her little sister.

We got clothes for my dad's trip to Arizona.

We went bowling at Strikz with some friends. Abe wanted to lazer tag with Ben and Tommy but he was too little so the man let him run around in the lazer tag arena with me while the game was playing! We got to run and scream in the dark, everyone was giggling at the fact that a 3 year old was running around, Abe was very happy.

Clean.

Me and Tommy had a TV Plug n' Play Wheel of Fortune showdown.

Dad leaves for his trip.

OTHER:

Here are other pictures from the week.

Right here is where you'll find them.

There used to be this thing at my elementary school, a group of people that called themselves Nana Puddin' and it was high-larious and I was reminded of it when I went to my friends house and she had a little sister with a poster on the fridge of it! I loved nana puddin'.

There is a webcam on this computer so we went crazy. Me and Tommy:

Doesn't he look cute?

Black Eyed Peas, "I got a feeling" is a song I want on my iPod when I find it.

I'm scared of the dark, may I have a candle?

2009-06-11T12:27:00.006-05:00

It was about six o clock pm. We were sitting in the living room last night and the TV flips to to the weather channel by itself like they do when there is an emergency. It tells us that a massively massive majorly major storm will be in our area in like 15 minutes. We look out the window, it is grey but there is silence and stillness. Psshaw we say, and we clean the living room. 10 minutes later it is raining and rumbling, we are going crazy and HOPING the power goes off so we can have a power outage party. Minutes later the siren goes off, then the power leaves our home and hits the road.

No power.

It is dark, and silent except for the eerie siren, we watch out the window at the wind and the rain, thunder louder than ever and lightning. Flashes of white and then a random flash of green.

Green?

Mom tells me that may have been the generator that gives our neighborhood light...exploding. She may have been right been right because we stayed in the dark until 12:30 PM today. What a horrid journey it was. It must have sucked to be a pioneer.

First we watched the storm, that got boring. Nothing worked--No fridge, stove, microwave,TV, Wii, PS2, Gamecube, Lamps, Light, Hot Water, Chargers, Internet, Phones were weird, Radios and Music. So we got a laptop and watched the Hulk on it until it was time for bed. We had to pee in the dark.

Due to scary movies where every scary scene involves dark restrooms and scary mirrors...peeing frightened me. But I got a lamp so it wasn't pitch black, just dim. BUT, it was still creepy. Then I fell asleep to candle light and thunder.

Woke up at 7 AM to only daylight. Still, nothing works. Boring time at home, coloring. Then at 12:3o PM I was lying on the floor asking myself when did the world go wrong and the power beeps on, everything came back to life.

I ran around turning on every appliance in the house till mama got mad. I love whoever turned the power back on.

MORAL: Everything is pretty much rendered useless without power, it must have sucked back in the day.

WTH ROBERT!

2009-06-10T15:15:00.003-05:00

What the heck Robert! Your supposed to be the worlds hottest guy ever and everyone knows smoking is for creeps. HAA. I never liked Rob anyway, and I still don't understand why people grow obsessions over him. BUT THIS!! AHH OOGIE!

Robert Smoking. CREEP.

In other news, I went to the pool with Abe and some other little babies, it was a apartment pool and there was this grumpy old man who wanted the hot tub. He got in with all us kids, we cleared out right quick. Then, one baby wanted back in. He also wanted the hot tub bubbles to stop. So he ran over and pushed the stop button, which pissed off grandpa. He looked really mad and he got out and pushed it ON again, so little baby got mad and said.

"No I want it OFF!" Then he slammed his foam noodle into the water and splashed the old man in the face. I was watching and I smirked, old man jenkins deserved it.

As a result he yelled at the poor 3 year old "Heeeeyy kiddd, don' youu be pussshhhin the button. This ain't a wadin' pool"

I ran and got the kid's dad as I looked back I could see the screaming had not phased the child and he continued to bop the man on the head with his noodle. I thought the old guy was gonna hit the poor baby, old people have unstable anger management and weight problems. Well some of them anyway.

Other than that it was pretty fun, babies are cute. Getting old must suck. I swear I'm gonna be a rich cool granny.

Piggy pigg piggles.

2009-06-09T08:46:00.003-05:00

You Are Pigtails

You are fun loving, sweet, and cute. You radiate happiness and pure joy.

Your idea of style is wearing the things you love most. And you love colorful, happy things.

At your best, you are optimistic and open hearted. You find the good in everything.

At your worst, you refuse to grow up. You are very prone to daydreaming and fantasizing.

What Hairstyle Are You?

And with that i will start my blog. Not like there is any way i would ever wear pigtails. BUT I am optimistic. :) Ben and Tommy got up this morning to go to a day camp thing. I am too old for it now but oh, how i envied them. I wish i had a camp to go to because i remember it being really fun. I think i am taking a cooking class, but i don't know when it starts. Yay, eating food!

Roller Derby/Bar Mitzvah?

2009-06-08T16:08:00.004-05:00

Anorexic Girl? Very tall and very skinny.
Poor chick. ?? She didn't smile the entire time.

I woke up, went to the stupid orthodontist and he put a bracket on a tooth way in the back of my mouth--I didn't even know there was a tooth back there! It hurts. But then we headed to 'Planet Pizza', but it was closed...forever! So we went to Wendy's and then to this place called Thunderbird (Roller Rink). It looked very old and inside it was filled with Jewish People having some type of party or something. They filled the place. Also there was an anorexic person who didn't look like she was having fun and her three friends were. I felt kinda bad for her even though I have not confirmed the anorexic-ness. Then a fatish-40 year old in tie die started to lose his balance and fell on his back. Hope he's ok. The people there dressed funny and didn't act like people I know do. Yet we all live in TX? Oh well, it was kinda funn.

I feel so grown up now. ;)

2009-06-07T14:31:00.002-05:00

In 4 years I am gonna be an adult. Crazy huh.

Mother got me, a mirror set. It has like lights built in like the movie stars have got.
A volley ball. I have been messing with it all day.
Gardening Mama for DS, like Cooking Mama but she gardens now. It is high-larious.
iKaraoke-plug it into your iPod and you can sing to the music, it makes the vocal part quieter for your enjoyment.
MARKERS! I asked for a lot of markers for coloring. :)
Moonlit Path Bath and Body Works Wash
PINK! Apples and Lily Shower Gel
Lavender Pillow Spray from B&B Works
also, i got an interesting gift.

AHEM. Gradual Self Tan Lotion, makes you go from pale to light light tan in a week if used all week. I love it because I always wanted some. Do you know how many times I get made fun of just for being kinda white?! A lot, I can tan but really slowly. And it fades real quick. So I wanna try it but I want tips or something because I am TERRIFIED of doing it wrong. Also you can just smear it on your hands right because then you unnaturally tan the underside of your hand and that screams FAKE, sooo do i need gloves? HA. I feel stupid but it also sounds like when I use it I'll look awesome.??!!
_________________________________________

My mom let me go to Hawaiian Falls with my BFF Gabby. It was really fun, we swam all day.

Friends called in groups to sing me happy birthday on the phone.

So did Granny and Grandpa. <3

_________________________________________

Also, I am saving the most awesome and unique for last. DUN-DUH-DUN-DUNN!
I got a charm bracelet from Brighton! It is beautiful, it has hearts and things that symbolize me on there. There was a book on sort of the history of different types of charms I read that was with it. After reading it I got all pumped up and I wanted to add more charms to it. To symbolize different things. I love the bracelet chain and the little charms on it, how it is all miniature. That all came from my Aunt Heather and my Uncle Mike. Here is the website for the place.

I love all the gifts, they are so pretty. I super cleaned my room so I now I feel like having a party inside it. Because it is so clean and filled with cool stuff. Thank you everyone, I love it all.

I could have sworn I was turning 18

2009-06-05T18:40:00.003-05:00

But no, Tomorrow I am actually turning 14. I will be going to Hawiian Falls with my beesst freeenn. (:

Thank you mother, for making this possible. Because I know I am annoying to you 24/7. Haha, I try not to be though! I LOVE MY MOM! <3>

I didn't go to 4 corners as planned. I felt sick, like sneezing with a headache all day and my throat felt itchy due to tissues maybe? I am not sure, tomorrow is my last day of school with no more exams and even a party. I hope I am not sick tomorrow. I did have a strawberries and cream frap my mom let me get when we stopped by on an errand though. It was good.

I just took my Science Exam, I made a 96!

Tuesday: Tomorrow school lets out at noon, I take my IDS class exam, then Speech (which I can use my review on) then I leave school and go to '4 corners' with my friends and eat lunch, then I go home.

Wednesday: School lets out at noon again, I take my US History Exam and Essay. Then since I aced the End of Course in Algebra, I don't have to take the final in that class along with like 19 other people. Free Class! Then I leave to go to 4 corners with my friends again. Then I go home.

Thursday: School lets out at noon, I go to Theater and we have our 'Banquet' no final exam. We will eat donuts my mother will graciously provide and lots of other food. One of my theatre teachers won't be there because she had a baby girl yesterday morning. Then I go to my slacker class AIDE, and we just hang out in there. No final in there either. Leave school and go to 4 corners with my friends. Then I go home forever because it is the last day of middle school! I will get my report card today. Next year I will be a freshman, ahhh! (:

At 6:30-8:30 PM I will be at a party for my friend! Funn stuff. Then I go home.

Friday: Maybe swim at the pool?

Saturday: My birthday! I turn 14!

Me and Zoe were sitting down at 4 corners getting a drink because it was hot outsidee. But it was a lot of fun, then we went to Starbucks.

I am gonna miss middle school. I am gonna love highschool.

High School seems fun, nerve wracking-- but fun.
I feel like, it is gonna be one of those things where the people hate freshman then when you get to being a non-freshman you yourself hate them too! Ahh!

Obama! Wait Up!! I Love you!

2009-05-19T17:47:00.013-05:00

I went to Washington DC: Here is the Itinerary. Also, I had Kinsey, Kelsey, and Gabby in my hotel room with me. It was like a big sleepover.

4:30 AM-Report to Airport.
Lemme tell ya', driving at 3 am is eerie yet cool because NO ONE is there. The streets are free except for the occasional car or something. We went through security and the entire time I was thinking of this video.

We went on the airplane and the ladies were ridiculously mean. I hated them by the end of the trip, but not like hate..just dislike for their stupid blond hair and angry/nice voices asking me if I want pretzels. We went to Union Station and ate food. We found McDonalds and talked to people from all different states.

We took a group photo at Grant's Statue around 2 PM and looked inside the capitol building around 3 PM. The large ceilings and nicely decorated walls were keeping me looking the whole time. In one room the ceiling is pink white and gold! And if you talk in one spot you can hear it across the room in another spot due to echoes. Then we looked at the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress. We stopped off at the 9/11 memorial. For those of you who don't know it is many benches with water under each and people drop their flowers for them in the water to float there.

We went to Chiptoles for Dinner at 6PM and waved to people and played "I Spy" by the large clear, glass window while we ate.

At around 7:30 PM we were waiting to get checked in to the hotel and were talking on the bus, a little boy saw us watching him and started break dancing for us! He was flipping and jumping and then at the end, he looked directly at our bus and bowed and blew kisses. Amazing. We swam in the hotel pool for like 5 min, it wasn't as fun as we thought it would be. Haha.

We had a party and all that stuff then we fell asleep at like 12 AM.

Friday May 15th, 2009 (Favorite Day)

We awoke at 6:30 AM and got ready and had breakfast which was Waffles, eggs, and sausage. It was pancakes with eggs and bacon, orange juice included! Left at 9AM and stopped at the national zoo! Where me and Kinsey got matching bags that look like this. Everyone wanted one but we slyly didn't tell them where we got them so we could be unique. I got pink lemonade. I took a picture of an emu, zebra, and a chipmunk that wasn't afraid of me.

The National Cathedral was humongous, the pope has been there as well as Martin Luther King and a meteor from space was made into one of the stained glass windows for safe keeping. It is the 8th Largest Cathedral. Everything was watercolor with rainbows and thousands of carvings and artwork. QUICK FACT: Helen Keller is buried in the Cathedral. A life sized Jesus was standing outside of the Cathedral. Standing next to a real guy since the Jesus was made of realistic plaz-teck.

We went to the Air and Space Museum and got Tommy and Ben nerd science toys and some pink polish that glows in the dark white! There are floating airplanes on the ceiling and a McDonald's on the roof of the first floor. We walked over to the American History Museum and it was very interesting. We sadly skipped the Hishhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Either that or I don't remember. I don't believe we did. National Portrait Gallery. National History Museum. We cracked up at the animals stupid stuffed positions.

Lincoln Memorial, on the back of the penny. It was large and almost intimidating to walk up to, I felt as though he was going to stand up and put me in his hand like that movie, The BFG (Big Friendly Giant). I bought a shirt with Obama's face on it. And my mom some bath stuff.

7PM The Hard Rock Cafe, I got Ben some guitar picks because he plays Guitar. Place is great, nice waiters.

Jefferson Memorial, and the FDR Memorial. Both very pretty in the dark with all the lights. FDR has his dog in the statue with him. A Scottie dog. (:

We returned to the hotel at 10 PM and I fell asleep at 12 AM

Breakfast at 6AM, which was bacon eggs and french toast! I bought a I <3 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" size="2">
Our Bus driver was named Daniel, I thought he looked like a nice turtle. We had our own handshake "Pop it, lock it, shoot it, kaboot it" He was in the Navy for 4 years. We went to the Arlington National Cemetery where G Washington was buried, I think I got a tiny tan. It was so overwhelming to see all of the graves. There were thousands, we also watched a "changing of the guards" they practice so hard to do the routine I felt proud to watch it. It goes on 24-7. We stopped by the tomb of the Unknown soldier. I felt like crying. Random Memorial Pictures and Things:

Custis Lee Mansion and Iwo Jima memorial, we climbed on the Einstein statue which is the only statue in DC which is meant to be climbed on.

We ate at Fuddruckers at 6:30 PM. It was really good. I got two cookies because the adults love me, :P. We stopped by the Vietnam Memorial and the Korean War Memorial, the WWII memorial was the most interesting to me because of the statues of people who looked like they were on the move in camo clothes.

10 PM-Return to Hotel.

7 AM Breakfast and we checked out of the hotel and I accidently left behind the I <3 style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K9v_Mwhletw/ShNTHQvppTI/AAAAAAAABTI/AgT8GWnxhuc/s400/WashingtonDC_Phone+051.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337701367583188274" border="0">

We went inside the Holocaust Museum and it was horrible. The entire place itself was very moving. I bawled my face off. The fact that people would kill others because you have something you cannot control, such as a hair color or birth defect. Tricked and starved. The pictures inside were things I will never forget although I am very glad I know about it.

We went into the National Archives. And then stopped at the Baltimore Airport and got Starbucks. We hung out there and took the trip back to Texas. I can say now I have been to Maryland, Virgina, and Washington DC. I got a pair of Aviators and some other sunglasses and a smushed penny.

The flight was awesome back since I sat with my friends and the veiw driving back that night was so pretty. A kid threw up and it was the most disgusting thing ever because planes are just recylced air. We met cheering and welcome homes at the baggage claim and hugged our daddies and mommies.

I had so much fun, Ben and Tommy cannot wait to go in 8th grade.

I haven't blogged in a while but I have been doing great. Although I regret to inform you that this year's 8th grade theme is secrets. Everyone has a juicy secret and no one can keep them. I like this song.

You will notice that Taylor Swift is dressed like a dweeb, she looks EXACTLY like I did in the play. I was a dorky news reporter and I was awesome! The audience laughed very loudly. It must have been pretty good haha.

BTW Theodore is like 3 weeks old! He fell asleep on my stomach. (: It was cuteee. I am going on a trip with 41 others to Washington DC!! In two days. We are going on an airplane and staying for four days. I think it will be very memorable for me and I am so glad I am going. I will take pictures. We all got red jackets that say "Washington D.C. Class of 2013" Here is me wearing it!! Woo.

Me and Abe (hes 3) we were cracking up due to Pee Wee Herman and the Pink Panther. The movie I can watch and never get sick of is School of Rock. I quote it sometimes, but annoying-ly. When the time is right I do. (;

For mothers day we made her a big banner and got her little gifts and things. I love my mommy.
I also went to HMART! Gabby and I took pictures. Here is one or two.

How was your life? Sorry I haven't been on in a whilee. Talk to me, byeeeee. -Ada

Today is like an invisible friday.

2009-04-09T16:49:00.001-05:00

Because, today is Thursday. But no school tomorrow so i feel the same way i do on Friday.

Model...I don't get it.

2009-04-06T18:17:00.004-05:00

Model means to like, give an example right? Well how are you giving an example clothes-wise when you show people this? A model should show what people actually wear.

I mean, not to be rude but ew. Do people really wear this grandma/hobo looking odd ball stuff on a daily basis? Obviously not I assume that this is just an exaggeration but why so pale? With bob cuts? And frowns? And ridiculously skinny? In clothes that resembles a mental patient? Not even close to normal. Models, as well as their designers must be psychotic.

PS: When I am reading a magazine and you are advertising a perfume. You might want to have a sample so I can actually smell what you sell. Otherwise, it is pointless telling me how 'good' it smells.
