Still Winter?!!!

Ok, so I haven't written in a while, but I'll hopefully be getting back on track because school is almost over, and summer is almost here. Hopefully.
It's not acting like its close to summer. You want to know why? I'll tell ya why. It's because its freakin snowing. Yes, I said it, snowing. Its snowing at the end of May. Rediculous I know, but true as can be. Its very depressing really, having it snow when the flowers are supposed to be blooming, and the winter gear is supposed to be put away. Its supposed to be warm, not cold. I'm just can't believe that it was cold on my Mom's birthday. I don't think that it snowed, but it was cold when it should have been a really nice and hot day. I also feel bad that I didn't get her anything. I am happy for her though, that's she's on a cruise for her birthday. I'm really happy for her. Haha, just wish that I was able to go. Haha... But I'm here with Denali and we're having a great time.

Now for an update of what are now past events....

Let's see here.... It has been nice and warm to start with. And then out of no where someone decides to shake the snowglobe in Lake Tahoe. Then its nice again, and then it decides to snow again. Not fun, and everyone up here wants it to be summer. What I haven't written on here is that I have been secretly dating my boyfriend Ryan. My Mom found out, and I got busted for lying to her; which is something that I'm not proud of. But we got past that, and I'm still dating my boyfriend, and everything's fine there.
My Mom's birthday was on the 20th, so she is in a cruise to Mexico for her birthday, which I'm totally jealous; but she seems to be having a blast. Meanwhile, I am at home with my little sister, Denali, and we are having fun too. Denali has gotten over her fear of dogs, sort of; and she likes cats now, which is really good.
I guess that's pretty much it to sum things up. Right now I'm just trying to get through school and pass my junior year. Oh, I got another job. So, I have two jobs now and they are literally right next door to each other. I work at the movie theater like before, but I also work at an Antique Store, which is a mere 10 steps away. So that is pretty great for me. And I love it too! I have sold some items, which I'm very proud of. But that is about it. I think that life as just been boring, and stressful here and there, but other than that, there's nothing new. Oh I got my  hair cut, if you can see that from my new header up there, and that guy right there next to my photo is my bf, Ryan. I love him, believe it or not. And his birthday is coming up on the 30th of May, so I'm still deciding what I should get for him, and what we could do for his bday. And I'm still deciding what I want to do for my bday as well. So far I've got Sushi for lunch, but I'm still planning everything out, so we'll see how that goes, and who'll come and hang with me on my bday. LOL!
But I'm working at the Antique Store right now, so I better get going. I just haven't updated on here in a while, and just thought that I'd say something.

Out and About

So what am I doing right now? Yes, I'm out and about. Right now I'm hanging out at the library until I have to go to work, or until I can find someone to hangout with before I have to go to work. Very interesting I know. Right now I'm listening to music, talking to friends on facebook and playing some computer games. What ever will I do next. I don't even know. Might read a book or go watch a movie in the corner of the library.
So recently (over the weekend recently) I got food poisoning, and it was not fun at all. Though one would think that food poisoning never is, but whatever. Actually it's not whatever. I spend all of Saturday night in the bathroom, if you know what I mean. Not great at all. Next morning, got dehydrated, so I had to drink lots of water of course, lay in bed, and I ate some crackers. Not a fun day, especially since it was Valentine's Day. By the way, Happy Valentine's Day to those of you out there that care to read my blog.
So back to this food poisoning thing. How many of you have had food poisoning? Crazy uh? And nasty. Just wish that my stomach would feel better already. Though I'm glad that its an on and off thing; but its still horrible. I'm still afraid to eat stuff, cause I don't want it coming back up. But I'll get there. Other than that I'm ok. I'm a survivor. LOL.
I haven't written on here in a while so, here's some news. I entered one of my poems in a poetry contest. Did I mention this before? Anyways, I got a letter back saying that I was going to be in this book along with other young poets that got chosen to be in this book. It's cool! So I got the poem that I sent and was able to make a few corrections to the poem if I wanted and send it back. There is also a possibility that I could be chosen to be in the Top 10 which means that I could win some money or prizes or something. So I hope that I get that.
I'm not at the moment working on my book, but I am writing a few poems which you can find on my other blog: http://www.alearningwriter.blogspot.com/ so check that out.
Let's see... What else? Oh, I made a few friends from my classes online, and they are cool, though they are like 3 years younger than me, but it is still cool. They're good friends. I've connected with them on facebook and stuff, so we chat all the time. It's fun to talk to someone from school, some of them are in like three of my classes which is cool, especially because we help eachother with school stuff.
I'm still reading my books, and staying on top of my school stuff. I believe I have A's in all my classes and I plan to keep it that way.
The weather is getting nice here, but it's still a bit chilly out, so I always bring a jacket. And work is great as always. Right now at the theater we have the movie Valentine's Day playing which I plan to see tomorrow. It looks like a good movie, and I also still want to see the movie Dear John, Leap Year, and Percy Jackson's: The Lightning Thief. I also want to see a few movies that may not even have come out yet, but I'll get to see them, no worries. Well, I'm going to get off here soon, for the timer on this computer is almost up, and I need to figure out what else I can do in this library. I might read or go watch a movie. IDK. I'll figure something out. I might end up writing somemore poems and put them on my other blog when I get back home. IDK.... There are so many possibilities. LOL. I should probably stay away from the free books though, cause when I'm over there I tend to get carried away with how many books I get. LOL. You have no idea how crazy it gets for me when it comes to free books. Well, I better go. But I'll hopefully write soon. I know I haven't written an entry in a long time. Probably since New Years or as far back as Christmas. I just have to find some time.
Ok, well bye now. Catcha later! ;)

Work, Sleep, Clean

Ok, so I haven't completely been following my resolution like I said that I would... But that is only natural for anyone. I'm still going to try though. A New Year = a fresh start... in a word a sort of clean slate. I just have to work out a routine of some sort. I to go to work... sometimes unexpectedly, but that's cool. I have school to do and those good grades that I need to get. I also need to get some sleep and clean my room, and hopefully not be too lazy to help out around the house.
Work-wise, its cool... I'm working.. doing my job and such. It is just sleep that is the problem. I don't know what it is, but have you ever had those nights when you were so tired and you tried to go to sleep but couldn't because at the same time you were just wide awake? Something was keeping you from sleeping and you didn't know what it was? Well, I have that problem right now. I don't know what it is, but lately I've just been having the weirdest sleeping patterns, and I really don't like it. I don't know. Hopefully it'll go away soon; I'll just end up being so tired that I'll end up sleeping throughout the entire night without waking up. I'm hoping.
Next is cleaning and making room for all of that new school stuff. Trust me, it's hard and I don't like doing it either, but it is something that has to be done. It is actually a great thing to do, and one that I should do more often. I now have a lot of room in my desk, granted I am not done yet and I haven't put everything back into my desk, but I have thrown away a lot of stuff that I thought that I would need, but just really don't need at all. I just need to clean more often and stop being lazy about everything. That is a flaw that I possess and I'm trying to get rid of it through my resolution list. Let's just hope that it works at least part of the way, if not all the way.
Ok, more about my life later... I'm going to head off to bed and try and get some shut eye. So goodnight, I hope to write soon and get into a routine where I can write my entries and create more poetry for all of you to read. The first step is working up a routine. Wish me luck, and goodnighters all you bloggers out there!

New Year!!!!

Ok, so it's a new year. A time for making those resolutions that you just hope to follow this year, like you didn't last year. I have made mine of course and I'm hoping to follow it this year. Just hoping to at least follow at least half of the list if not all, because I didn't follow my resolution from last year, I don't think one bit, which really sucks, but is true none the less.
New Years for me wasn't the greatest. First of all, I have barely gotten any sleep in like two weeks and I of course, as usual have no idea why. But hey, what's a girl to do? And no, I refuse to take one of those sleeping pills.... Anyway, on top of no sleep, I get a cold sore because of the lack of sleep I've been getting, and get to stay at home all day when I could have been out hanging with a friend because of the darn cold sore; or as my friend Forrest likes to call it herpies. Yuck... nasty word. Luckily though, it's just about gone.
So..., what else is new? Well, I got a new phone. The battery on my old phone died and when my Mom was going to get a new one, we ended up getting me a new phone. I really like it. It's my fave color: green, and it's eco friendly, which just means that it was made out of recycled plastics and stuff. I am hopefully going to be able to use this phone to put my pictures up, cause it has a camera on it, with memory card; so I'm hoping that I can somehow get the pics uploaded on my computer.
Here in Tahoe, it has been sunny/ partly cloudy. Right now it looks to be partly cloudy, but it could change sometime today.
And right now my Mom keeps going off about how cellphones in ur pocket can give you cancer. Now I don't believe it as well as everyone that I ask about it. But my Mom really believes it, so if you find anything on that send me the link so that I can read it for myself. I also learned how it couldn't be true because if cellphones in ur pockets give you cancer then like every electronic that ur around can give you cancer. Now I can understand getting brain cancer while talking on a cellular device, but having it in ur pocket is just going a bit far. Like I said before, if you find anything that is from something other than a .com website then feel free to give me the URL.
Tonight at the movie theater we are playing "It's Complicated" which looks like a really good movie, but the movie that I want to see even more is "Leap Year." That movie looks extremely good. Speaking of work, it's going great, as always! I love working at the movie theater! Granted it's slow season at work, but it's still great! I just can't wait till summer already. Though I still want to learn how to snowboard for next year... or this year.... You know what I mean. My friend Alec said that he'd teach me. I just hope that I'm actually good at it. Hope that it's easier than skiing.
I also hope that I can get caught up in writing entries because the last entry I think was like a day after Christmas, which was a while ago. So I hope to catch up, or write more entries; however you'd like to say it.
Ok, well I'm hoping to hangout with someone, or have someone come over today; so I'm going to go and try and get a hold of someone. Hope to write again sometime this week: Saturday or Sunday... LOL

Christmas Day!!!

Ok, I know that it was yesterday that it was Christmas Day but still, I didn't get a chance to write an entry yesterday.
So it was Christmas, and it was time to open all the presents under the tree. The only thing that I don't like about Christmas is that once you open all the presents, the tree is empty and the mystery is gone. I still look under that Christmas tree, like I did before Christmas Day, and just at the same time wish I didn't open my presents just because it was fun trying to figure out what lied inside the boxes. At the same time though, I'm glad that I opened my presents, because the suspense of what was inside was killing me. I like all the things I got, especially my new ipod nano, which not only holds the songs and videos, but it also takes videos. There is a video camera on the ipod so that I can take videos, and I can also record my thoughts or whatever I want in this voice memo app. It's really cool and this is what it looks like, though it's not green, it's blue...

See the camera? That's my ipod, and it also has the radio on it, which is what I'm listening to at the moment until my Mom puts songs on it; which will hopefully be today, I'm tired of listening to the radio. That's what I've been listening to before I got the ipod.
I also got a nice warm pink and green blanket, some clothes which are really cute. I really love this sweater that I got, it's probably the cutest thing in clothes that I got. I'll get a picture of it on here when I can. I still have that camera problem (no camera), so I have to figure out how to take some pictures and put them up.
Let's see, I also got some Aquolina Pink Sugar perfume which smells really good, I'm happy that I got that.  My Mom made me a purple scarf, which I love. I love the purple and it is just so comfy and warm. And like every Christmas, got some chocolate.
My boss at work also gave me a box of chocolates for Christmas, with a card and $20, along with my paycheck, so that was cool. Tiffany, my boss is really nice. Though, I did have to work yesterday; and some people may think that that just sort of just ruins Christmas. Having to work on Christmas Day, but it didn't for me. I like working at the movie theater up here, so I guess it was just a weird Christmas present for me and possibly for other people that think that working on Christmas Day is fun.
I got to see Sherlock Holmes though. Even though I was working, I got to see the movie, which was cool, and the movie was really good; and funny. I want to see it again.
Ok, well I am going to mess around with my new ipod, and clean my room so Merry Christmas! and a Happy New Year!!!

Avatar

So, yes I saw the movie Avatar and I must say that it was so awesome. I don't really know what to say about the movie without giving too much or everything away. I guess all I can say is that the special effects were extremely good and the storyline was amazing. I want to see that movie again. Of course the movie was long, but it still was a great movie and worth watching again. The only other thing that I will say about the movie is that I loved the way the Avatars had this really deep connection to everything on their planet. Ok, I'm not saying anything else, just that it was really good.
And I'm looking out my window now and see clouds so it might be possible that we get snow or something, but I'm no weather expert so I wouldn't know.
What I do know is that Christmas is in the air, for it is only one week away now. Or 6 days, which ever you choose. Hopefully I'll put a poem up today, so look at my other blog for a possible poem. And now I am offically on the 7th book of the Sword of Truth Series and the 6th one was just as good as the other 5 that I've read. I still can't decide which of the 6 books I've read so far is my favorite. Hmmm..
Anyway, I made this not so great cleaning list that I can hopefully get done and out of the way today. Just hopefully. So right now I'm going to go downstairs and have so cereal and then watch some tv for a little bit and then get started on that cleaning list. If I do happen to get done today, I'll hopefully still be in a cleaning mood and clean some stuff downstairs for my Mom, but that's only if I get my list done first....
Welp, better go. And yes I know that "welp" is not a word, but it's kind of close to the word "well" except it sounds a little better. Welp, welp, welp. That's a fun new word to say. Or maybe it is already a word. If so I need to discover the meaning of this new word that I discovered or..... whatever. I'll look it up and see if it's a word. Welp, LOL, gotta go and eat something for I'm getting all rumbly tumbly in my tummy. LOL. I don't know if that's exactly what Pooh Bear says, but it's close. Okayss now, going to go and find some yummy food to eat. OMG! I just remembered that there are donuts downstairs. Can't pass those up. Now I really have to go before they're all gone, or at least the good ones. Byeee!!!!!!

Santa Claus

Well, it's getting really close to Christmas. Like one week away, and I don't know what Christmas Eve or even Christmas Day is going to be like, but I guess that's the magic of it; or at least of everyday, you don't know what will happen.
When I was a little girl, maybe like 4 or 5 - something like that - I saw Santa Claus. First I heard that odd sound on the roof and then I quietly headed towards the living room and saw Santa by the fireplace. Granted I only saw his back, but it made me really happy. I remember that I wanted to say hi, but I didn't want him to put me on the naughty list or something so I quietly went back into bed. I don't remember if I heard another sound on the roof of him leaving, but that might have been because I was so excited that I saw Santa Claus.
To be honest, I still do believe in Santa Claus to this day, but I don't believe that he necessarily brings packages for everyone, but something more along the lines of miracles. It sounds stupid, I know; but those are my thoughts. Every Christmas I don't know what I'm going to get or what the day is going to be like. And since my memory utterly sucks I don't really recall having a miracle happen for me on Christmas. I'm hoping however that one may happen this year and that I will remember it. I seriously don't know what kind of miracle it would be, so don't ask me.
Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I look forward to it every year. The snow, the colors, the lights, Christmas songs/movies, and bells; every one of those things I look forward to. It only really happens once a year.... just like Halloween (LOL), which I happen to like too. I don't really even know what I want this year. As I seem to get older, the things that I seem to want decrease. Like when I was little I seemed to want everything I set my eye on, much like my little sister, Denali; but now it's like I just sort of look for things that would be more useful to me, but are still things that I want. I don't really know what else I want other than what I put in earlier posts. I guess I'm going to just have to wait and see what I get......
The wait by the way is torture...LOL, but it's worth it. I just wish that I was able to get my Mom and Denali something like I told myself I would this year; but I guess I'm just going to have to wait until next year or until their birthdays; or even both.
Well, I smell something good and I'm tired so I'm going to go get some dinner and then head off to bed. Denali tired me out today. LOL. Goodnight, and if you've had a Christmas miracle, I'd love to hear about it...

Yikes!!!

Yikes= yes. It snowed so much today that the roads were just extremely dangerous today. My Mom was coming up from Reno and she I guess could not see a thing. I was hoping that she would get home okay, for I was at work at the time; and she did. I mean, we just got so much snow, it was crazy. Over at the movie theater we got like a foot of snow, and higher up, well, IDK how much snow it was higher up, possibly like 3 ft or something. And it's supposed to snow more tonight and tomorrow.
I'm just wondering what I'll be doing tomorrow. I'm not working so.... who knows? Hopefully I'll find a friend thats free to hangout with; and is able to drive down into town or something. Today, I watched some TV, ate food, read a book, and worked a little bit on my poem; oh, and was on facebook. As you can tell I didn't have a very productive day. Though I did do the dishes and go to work, if that counts....
Well, I'm going to probably go and read this book, it's really good. So I'm going to read some of that before I head off to bed. Get some quiet time....
Ok, so bye, and goodnight, and stay warm and safe; and hopefully where ever you are the roads aren't dangerous. Sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite....LOL! Goodnight.

Snow!!!!!

Let it snow! Let it snow!
Right now as I am typing it is snowing outside, and it just looks beautiful. Trying to figure out a poem that I can write to this beautiful but chilly weather. Normally I don't really care that much for the snow, just because snow creates ice which makes me fall, and my friend Forrest laugh. But it is really beautiful and mesmorizing to look at. We already have a lot of snow up here, but it just keeps coming, with short breaks of the sun. My friends invited me to ski with them on Sunday, but because I haven't set one toe in my ski boots in like two years.... maybe more... I politely declined. I wish that I could go though. It seems like it would be fun; but I really want to learn how to snowboard. It looks more fun than skiing and possibly easier. But IDK, cause I haven't tried it before. My Uncle Matt made an offer to send one of their snowboards or something up here so that I can practice and learn; and I might just take him up on that offer.
Right now I am watching my sister dance in her little princess heels and her Gap hat. She looks so cute. She's in her Pj's, a Gap hat, and her little princess heel shoes. I have this music playing, "All Over You" by Kaci; and she is dancing to it. Now the song has changed to New Classic [Live] from the movie Another Cinderella Story, and she just looks so cute trying to dance all cool. She just looks so cute.
It sucks though, cause she's going to her Dad's today and I don't want her to go. But then again, it just makes me all the more excited for her to come home.
It's still snowing, but it doesn't look like its quite sticking yet, but it's getting there..... No worries.
Hopefully I can get out of the house today. I have no school to do so there isn't any reason why I couldn't. I just hope that I have someone to hangout with. I haven't hung with friends in a while, so I'm just hoping that they're still there and want to hangout with me. Today is also my day off, so I want to be able to do something. Though I'm going to try and steer clear of the library because every single time I go there I always end up getting one of those free books that you can take. Can never leave a library without a book, and the books I do have are piling up because they're still waiting to be read.
I also want to be able to learn how to knit. It seems like something that could keep me busy, and I could even sell the things that I would make. I just need to learn how to do it first, and get somethings that I need to do it, like yarn and the needles. I want to do a lot of things, but this is the only thing off the top of my head right now - including snowboarding, but that might be a while as well as take a while.
Well, I better get going. I think Denali wants to watch a Christmas movie. So later. And I'll try not to put too many entries here. LOL. I just have nothing to do right now, so I just feel like looking at my blogs and organizing through them and stuff. That's why I hope that I can get out of the house...... Well, later.....

Finally!!!

Well, FINALLY!!!!  I finished my English class today, and you have no idea how happy I am about that right now. Took the final today. Don't know what I got on the final, but I got the class done today. I also worked again today. Seems I've been working everyday this week, though I don't work tomorrow, at least not that I know of; but I am working on Saturday, then another day off on Sunday and then back to work on Monday. I'm wiped out.
Good news is, is that because I am done with my English class and I don't know when I'll be starting my next class, I can finally get things done. I can read my books, write more poems, actually keep my room clean and play with Denali more, and hang out with friends. I don't even remember the last time it was that I got out of the house for the day to hang with friends or had a sleepover at a friend's house. It's been a while.
It is getting much colder here, so I've been wearing my ski socks around the house because even slippers aren't doing the trick. My purse ends up weighing a little more than usual because I added my gloves and a hat in there, and God knows what else. It's like a treasure hunt in my purse sometimes. No matter how many times I may clean it, it always gets messy. I wonder if there's such thing as a purse organizer; you know like the kind of thing you put in your desk drawer, but it's for a purse and it may not be made out of plastic like a desk organizer? Hmmm.
Well, I said before that I'd say what my sort of personal Christmas list is. Ok, so it's more like a resolution. You know, like you would make at the beginning of the year? Well, my resolution was that when I got a job, I'd be able to get my Mom and Denali great presents, because I'd finally have the money to pay for it. I'm hoping that sometime before Christmas I can get them something special. It is sort of a promise that I made to myself, and I want to be able to try and follow through with it.
And as far as other things on my Christmas list goes.... I was thinking that I want the rest of this "Sword of Truth" Series books. So far I have "Blood of the Fold," "Stone of Tears," and "Temple of the Winds." The other books I would need is "Wizard's First Rule," "Soul of the Fire," "Faith of the Fallen," "The Pillars of Creation," "Naked Empire," "Chainfire," "Phantom," and "Confessor." Come to think of it, I should save up for a book shelf. I have so many books that I'm just trying to find places where they will fit in my room. It's crazy. Speaking of books, I'll be able to work on my book more while I'm not doing any classes, which shouldn't be for long. I could get it tomorrow or on Monday. I really don't know; but this Math class that I'm going to be doing next should be easy. I should hopefully get it done in the 21 days that I have to get it done. Then after that I have Science, though I don't know how long that class will take me. Science is interesting, but it's hard for me to understand and do.
Ok, well I'm getting cold, so I'm going to get under my nice warm covers and get some shut eye. Goodnight, and stay warm and drive safe. The roads are getting really slick now.
