La Di Doo Do Da

heh- shelbs you get my title:)

So. Quite frankly, I don't know why I'm blogging... I should probably do my homework that's due tomorrow.. but I don't want to, so I'll just find time to do it at school tomorrow. Yeah, thats the best option. Blogging is mucho more fun. It's quickly eating up the time I waste on Facebook. But I'm more than okay with that, I deem blogging a much more productive waste of time. Basically its journaling which is more than fine in my book!

So I've read 136 pages. Of what you might ask? Of Fablehaven: Keys to the Demon Prison of course! AHH! Man Alive(<= one of my favorite of my grandma's phrases. I decided I'm going to let them crop up periodically)! It's quite the nail bitter already! I can't wait to get back to reading it... in approximately 33 more minutes. My little sister pagina(okay fine, her name is Paige, but I call her Pagina, pronounced paheenah, it means page in spanish. So basically I'm calling my sister a page of a book. Oh hilarity.. k fine, not even funny. What's with me today?! weird mood) and I bought the book together so I got to read it from 4-6, she gets 6-8, I get 8-10.. or whenever I stop reading. It's a great little system.

So. I love blogging, most ardently. (replace "blogging" with "you" and say it in a british accent, you have a quote from Pride and Prejudice kiera knightly version... just a fun fact) Its so great! I love being able just to sit down and type, and get my feelings out there, however dumb and boring they may seem. And I also love how many people are my age are blogging these days! I just keep hearing about people who have just gotten a blog and I get so excited!... am I a creeper? I don't think so, I just love hearing about the lives of my friends and stuff. It's great!

So I end this post.
It was for you janey, you wanted one today that was "longer than like two lines, 'I got a haircut. yay.'" so here ya go:)

Fable-freakin-haven!!

Oh its coming.. it most definitely is!

March 23, 2010 Fablehaven 5: Keys to the Demon Prison comes out, the last installment of the series! I don't even think you understand my excitement. I just pre-ordered it from Walmart.. yeah its that important.

For all of you that don't know, Fablehaven is only the best series ever written. Its up there with HP(harry potter) and if you know me, that's a pretty big deal! Fablehaven is written by Brandon Mull, a mormon author from like Provo or something. But really, if you haven't read this series let me know you can borrow my copies of the books;) I don't know anyone that has read it that hasn't absolutely loved it! Even my science teacher last year was obsessed.. for real.

Basically its about these two kids, Kendra and Seth, who go spend part of a summer at their grandparents house. Soon they find out that it is a magical preserve for mythical creatures like satyrs, niads, fairies, golems, giants, demons, centaurs, astrids, phantoms, imps you get the picture... then there's TONS of crazy ridiculous things that happen and there are so many twists in the story its soo good!! GAH! so I don't want to give anything away, but I will say- its incredible! Really. I know it sounds soo stupid.. thats what I thought at first but just give it a chance.. you will not regret it!

Oh and did I mention they're making the series into a movie. Well they are. And Avi Arad, the producer of Iron Man and Spiderman bought the rights to it. It'll be so good.







don't those just look ammmazzinnnggg! because yeah, they are

Can It Get Better Than This?

Really?

So I love pictures.

Let me just throw that out there. So two summers ago I saved all my money so I could buy myself a camera. and i succeeded! but then the most tragic thing happened. Let me recount the event.

So I was up in Oregon, headed to the beach:) oh love. So I told everyone in the car that my camera was in the pocket behind the drivers seat. But then my little sister needed somewhere to put her capri sun, so she put it in there and I said "oh no you don't" but she promised she'd keep her eye on it so it wouldn't spill on my camera. So I trusted her. As we arrived at the beach I took out my camera and guess what. It was completely covered in a sticky, sugary fruit juice.. UGH!!! really? So I proceeded to clean it off and by some miracle it still functioned perfectly. Praises. So we head down this quaint little trail to the beach and I have my camera and a boogie board in one hand and a million other things in my other hand. Finally the ocean is in view! oh beaut. And there was the most beautiful picture opportunity so I nimbly took my camera and took some stunning pictures. After that I put my camera away and I got ready to continue down the final sand dune when suddenly someone ripped the boogie board out of my hand and sent my precious camera tumbling to the sand. power still on and everything. Pause: bear in mind that it is still sticky from the capri sun accident. Resume: oh dear. My poor poor camera was then covered in sand so I blew it off gently but the damage had been done. There is sand all inside my camera. It works just great, except for the fact that the lens won't focus or open very well:( tragic I know.

So I have yet to fix it, but I plan on taking a look at it tomorrow so I'll let you know how it goes.

Now the reason I brought this whole thing up is because I'm feeling a lack of pictures on my blog. I'm quite depressed over it... But no fear! I'm getting on the problem:) I feel bad, I have a camera, yet I have completely failed to capture my sophomore year through photos. ugh.. oh well.

oh fyi, my fixing-the-camera-plan-by-blowing-the-sand-out failed.

I'm A Fan

of closing my eyes. laying on my bed. blasting a song over and over and over. and thinking. I think so much better when I'm listening to music, I don't know what it is. At the moment I keep listining to Be Here by Parachute. Quite frankly, I don't even know what it's about but I love it. Every once in a while I find these gems of songs. I just listen over and over. It helps me think. I don't even really know what I'm thinking about.

Maybe I'm being grateful for my realtively easy life.
Maybe I'm thinking about my friend and the hard time she's having at the moment.
Maybe I'm wondering how I can be a better person.
Maybe I'm acting.
Maybe I'm asking why its just not working out.
Maybe I'm wanting to go for it.
Maybe I'm worrying about getting hurt again.
Maybe I'm trying to be more compassionate and judge less.
Maybe I'm feeling jealous
Maybe I'm hoping it won't end.
Maybe I'm wishing things won't change.
Maybe I'm believing in things that won't happen.

I don't know. But I do know that music helps me sort out this brain of mine traveling a million miles per hour.

Its late, I should go sleep.
I just needed to spell it all out in words.
Thanks for listening.

look a likes

So yesterday I was told that I look like both of these girls. Brittany Holmes, "Darla" from Little Rascals, and Selena Gomez. K so thats first time I've heard Darla, but its weird, I've been told that I look like Selena Gomez multiple times. Probably the weirdest time was when my grandma was like "Mechale, you look a lot like that Selena girl on Disney Channel." "Uhh... thanks grandma" How does my grandma know who Selena Gomez is?!?! That was a weird moment. But seriously? I don't even see it. huh. I guess I really should take it as a compliment, so thanks everybody who thinks I look like Selena Gomez:) Haha..

Two posts in one day? This is a new record for me! But since I'm on the computer waiting for some cds to import might as well not facebook stalk and blog:) much more constructive. Much more.

So today as I was sitting in math at 9:57:50 a.m. I started vibrating. I had received a text message! Who was it from you might ask. It was from Gomez.. a.k.a. Chris my brother Maxwell. And this is what it said:

Make sure you come home for lunch i'm opening my call

AHH!!! WHAT?!?!?! It came. Today it came. My brother's mission call came. So I arrived home for lunch anxiously wondering where my brother would serve the next two years of his life. His envelope was half opened as he toyed with it alllll morning. So finally he began reading

Dear Elder Maxwell

You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Washington Seattle mission.

YAY!! oh soo happy! The northwest is incredibly gorgeous! He's going to have the best time.

My brother Chris is one of the best people I've ever known. He truly is incredible. He has such a strong will that takes him places. He is the best older brother I could ask for. We never were really that close when we were younger, but after he came back from Oregon in December I feel like I kinda have a connection with him. I absolutely love this boy! He is extremely kind and considerate and generous. He's amazing. He is so easy to talk to and even if he's annoyed, he'll listen and pretend he's intersested:) I'm so happy he gets to serve the Lord for two years. He'll be one incredible missionary. And I'm going to miss him. I'll miss his smiley face, his enthusiasm, everything. It's been so nice having him home full time for the past few months.

I love you Chris
Have the best two years of your life.. beginning June 2. The people of Seattle are so lucky to have you serving them.

Did You See The Sky Today?

Talk about blue!

If you can name that movie you win.

But really, blue skies today!
I'm so ready for summer. yeah, I am.
Honestly, I know spring has just sprung, but on Monday my alarm's(yes, alarms, I have 3) were set for late start time from last friday so needless to say, they didn't wake me up at 6:30. So I'm just enjoying my sleep like a teenager should when I hear my dear father walk in the room and say "mechale, you coming to school today?" And I kid you not, I almost said, "uh hello.. its summer. There is no school."

Seriously this is NO BUENO! Cero divertido.

I'm so ready for summer its not even funny!
My skin is as white as the melting snow and is just itching for some rays of sun to attack it.
I have looked at swim suits like 17 magillion billion gaboollion times. In case you were wondering, that's A LOT! I just want to go swimming outside in 97.461 degree weather. Is that really to much to ask? I want to be at flaming gorge with my neighbors this weekend! I want to be on the Oregon Coast boogie boarding, and laying on the sand. (I realize that last statement is slightly contradictory to my whole heat position because the Oregon Coast is fuhriggeddd! but still...) I'm dying here! I recently decided that spring is my absolute least favorite season because I'm so ready for summer, therefore spring feels like an eternity. ugh. Oh and another reason is that everything is almost too happy and giddy. I'm sure you probably don't understand what I mean but think about it. Spring=springing, bouncing, finally-winter-is-over-so-lets-be-overly-rambunctious-and-crazy and summer=ahhhhhh,lets-just-relax-and-be-lazy-and-love-being-outside-where-its-hotttttt. I'm such a sun worshipper right now. I love it! I'm ready to get burnt and feel my skin get all tight. I'm ready to throw away every care in the world and just read a good book outside in the heat. Need I say anymore? The scorching summer sun is more than welcome right now!

okay, now let me hop off of my soap box.

So the BHS basketball team won their 2nd round state game last night!!! I was quite the stressed coaches daughter over in the student section, but those boys are incredibe and of course pulled it off:) So we play Mountain Crest manana at the Dee Events Center at Weber State. This is the best week of the whole year in my opinion. Fo sho. There's nothing like sitting in those purple plastic arena seats watching game after game witnessing all of the crazy happenings of high school state basketball tournaments.

Well I'll let you know how it turns out.. keep your fingers crossed for a win! and a loss by Provo.. yeah, that'd be grrreat!

Over and out
