Cold, Tired, & Hungry

Ok, so like the title, I'm cold, tired and hungry. I just got back from work and it is freezing outside..... Next time I'm bringing my other jacket and a hat with possibly a side of gloves. There was no bear outside tonight, at least not one that I saw. Someone came in though and said that there was a bear trying to get into the trash again, but it wasn't the theater trash, it was the trash farther down in the parking lot. I guess it got scared away though because the movie just got out and everyone was going outside and leaving in their cars.... So yeah....
I saw my neighbor and friends Rich, Candy, and little Cody who I sometimes babysit. They came to go see the movie which was pretty cool. Yes, its still "Where the Wild Things Are" and yes its still as cute as ever when watching some parts of the movie. I actually thought it funny, because tonight I got more tips than yesterday night and yesterday night we had two showings hence more people. IDK, its cool though because I'za gots me somes money.
I'm tired because my Mom woke me up to come down to Reno with her so that I could help Denali after she got done with the dentist today. And might I add she was very brave. I don't even remember everything that she got, but lets just say that her mouth was numb for like the rest of the day, pretty much. I think she got like a root cannel (ok, so I can't spell this, you get the idea..) and/or something and something...... IDK, you'd have to ask my Mom, but she was so brave. Granted she felt a little sick afterward and had to lay down and take a nap, but her stomach quickly healed from the ache. Though her mouth was still numb, at least on the right side, so when she ate, she had to eat only on her left side, and she did a really good job with that too. She's just so smart..... at four years old.... I love her so....
Any who, now I'm hungry, so I'm going to probably go downstairs and get something to snack on or something before I head off to my nice..... warm..... bed. So laters and goodnight.

Lions and Tigers and "Bears," Oh My..

Ok, so I just saw my first bear tonight... Which is pretty sad because I've lived in Tahoe for like 4 years and this is my first time seeing a bear. So yes, I saw a bear at work actually, when I was taking out the trash. It was sort of hidden by this tree so I didn't see it at first, and when I did, it of course startled me. Looking back on that, I kind of feel like an idiot because when I saw the bear, I was prepared to run for it.... But then I saw that it just stared at me and then started backing away a little bit. I wasn't as afraid of it as when I first saw it, but I kept my distance..... I slowly walked to the opposite side of the dumpster and put the trash in. Meanwhile the bear just sort of ran back about 10ft behind the dumpster. So I put the trash in and then just started backing away. And, well IDK if I just really like looking at pictures of wildlife and just the fact that I'm living up here, surrounded by a bunch of trees and seeing squirrels everywhere or something...... Whatever..... But anyway, I just was so fascinated by the bear that I just sort of stood there and stared at it. I mean its not everyday that you see a bear, at least for me. So I thought it was really cool. It was just a medium sized black bear. I would say small, but since this is my first bear and not being able to picture a bear as huge, it would seem to form its own tower, or something, I'll just stick to medium.
Then my Mom drove up and was just like Kayla what are you doing?! Get away from there!!!! She was just freaking out like any Mom would..... But I was just kind of like, OMG Mom, its not even doing anything and its more afraid of me and ready to run off then start clawing me to death or something. I mean, granted I had that in my head, hearing about bears being angry all the time and always chasing you. But IDK, tonight kind of proved them wrong. Not every bear is going to chase you. I mean they are the ones minding their own business, trying to get food, etc. and then we just walk up on then, whether we know it or not and either run for it, or try to scare them away..... Yea, so my Mom called Patrol or whatever, and a cop car came and started turning on his sirens and scared the bear off. Which I was actually thankful for because the bear was right next to my boss, Tiffany's, car and since my Mom was already here to pick me up, Tiffany was still in the theater cleaning. And she was there alone, so I didn't want her to go walking out to her car and see a bear, and not be able to get into her car or something. Cause it was pretty close to the driver door.
Anyway, something that I'm not going to do again. I've seen my first bear, was amazed by it, and now feel like an idiot for just standing there looking at it while it was digging through the trash. I've had my excitement for one night. In fact this could probably last me the whole week.... Hahahaha......
Any who I smell some delicious cookies downstairs and after having a taste of the cookie dough, I'm guessing that some nice hot soft cookies are just going to make it a night for me. So, so long, and yea, if you see a bear, just run for it.... Don't be a dork like I was.

Had A Friend Over

Ok, so I'm writing in the morning, but that is only because I had a friend over last night..... It was actually good to have a friend over. Her name is Whitney and she's just one of the friends that I haven't seen in forever. Though we didn't really do much last night. We watched Center Stage, because she's never seen it before. Then we had ice cream, or rather I did. It was Pumpkin ice cream and it was soooooo gooood. Whitney just had some hot chocolate and some toast. It is pretty cold downstairs. Then we just pulled out the couch bed and watched the last half of Knocked Up. Which sucks because I've never seen it before, so it wasn't really fun to watch the last portion of the movie..... Then this morning we had some yummy french toast, though I don't know how I ate three pieces...... We ended up sitting on the couch and watching TV until she had to go, which was like five minutes ago.
Now I'm going to get dressed and get reading and get going on school before I have to head off to work at 4:15. So I have three hours. And Denali wants me to play with her, so I more so have up to two hours of doing school. So I better get going. I've got a lot of stuff to do......
Tell you how everything went tonight, If I can keep my eyes open. Whitney and I ended up going to bed at like 2:30 in the morning. Yikes..... Ok bye now
Hopefully I have enough money to get some coffee at Starbucks.......

Where the Wild Things Are

Ok, so I didn't really get any school done today. Denali wanted me to do things with her today, like watch something on TV with her, and go downstairs to eat breakfast, etc. Then I went to go get my paycheck at work at like 2:00. I ended up staying there until the showing that night, and that was at 7:15. I actually went in to go see the movie with my Mom and Denali. And guess what movie was playing? Yep, you guessed it.... Where the Wild Things Are. And let me just tell you that it was a really cute and funny movie. So just ignore those reviews that say otherwise. I don't really remember like what the storyline of the book was, but I do remember that I really liked it, just as I like this movie. Sadly to say that Denali didn't even know there was a book, or has even had the book read to her. (She's still four, hence unable to read.) But yes, the movie was great, so go take your kids to go see it, and well, if your a teenager like me, then just go see it.
So, to what I was doing at the movie theater for that long, I did some filing for my boss, and a little babysitting too. But it was ok.... I sadly didn't really see anyone that I knew at the movie theater, but maybe on Sunday I will.
Surprisingly, the weather was really nice today. I was able to wear just a pair of jeans and a tank top. Though I brought a sweater, just in case. And well, since I'm still wide awake (sort of), I'm going to try to get something done in this school work tonight. Next week I'm supposed to be taking my Final, but I haven't even taken my Midterm yet, so I'm in kind of a pickle. I just hope that I can get this done, with only like one more week of an extention. Just hoping. I'm also hoping that my Mom will be able to get me into this new online school program. I'm also hoping that with this new program, there'll be no deadlines, at least ones that aren't reasonable for me.
Ok, well I'm going to say hi to some friends on Facebook, and then go and read some notes.
Go and see the movie, Where the Wild Things Are, because it is such a cute movie. I might just want to see it again. And also look up the movie "The Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock. That looks like a great movie that I can't wait to see. I just love the storyline, or rather just the story.....
Ok, I'm done... Goodnight, and hopefully I'll get a lot of school work done tomorrow. Just hoping..... Still hoping.....

The Christmas Shoes

Ok, I know its a little early for Christmas still, but I just watched this great movie called "The Christmas Shoes." OMG, it was so good, I'm still trying to wipe the tears away. It was sad, don't get me wrong, but it was a great story. I highly recommend that you watch it. And I guess there's a book too, which I'm going to need to add to my never ending book list.
Lets see.... The books that I can remember are on my list right now are:

• Atonement by Ian McEwan (I'm going to read the book before I see the movie.)
• The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne (I started it, but never really finished it.)
• Marley & Me by John Grogan (The movie was so good, and though it was sad, I'm going to read the book.)
• The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory (Never finished it... School, ya know?)
• The Search by Iris Johansen (An author of mysteries)
• East of Eden by John Steinbeck (I have a feeling I'll be reading this one for school.)
• Some Clive Cussler books (Have you seen Sahara the movie? Well it was good, but didn't know there was a book until after. The many adventures of Dirk Pitt)
• Some Stephen King books (No matter how scary some of the movies were, based off of the books that he wrote.)
• The Golden Compass (Again, didn't know there was a book until after seeing the movie.)
• A Respectable Trade by Philippa Gregory (An author of historical fiction)
• Jumper by Steven Gould (Remember the movie? Well, it was based off of this book, and I think that this is the first book within a small series or something.)
• The Books Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr by Christopher Paolini (I have read Eragon, and I think part of Eldest, but forgot what really happened in them so I need to read the first and second books over again before I read the third.)

And that's really all I can remember right now, but this is not even half of the books that are on my list. Right now I'm reading The Sword of Truth Series, which are fantastic books. There are like 11 books and I'm on book #6, Faith of the Fallen. The other books, in order (I think) are:

• Wizard's First Rule
• Stone of Tears
• Blood of the Fold
• Temple of the Winds
• Soul of the Fire
• Faith of the Fallen
• The Pillars of Creation
• Naked Empire
• Chainfire
• Phantom
• Confessor

I'm pretty sure that those are in order. I don't know about the last two or three, but the rest are in order. They are really great books, and I would definitly suggest reading them. They have everything from romance, to wars, to mystery and surprise, and to, well, lets just say that kids shouldn't read these, not that they could anyways. Each book is about like 800 to 900 pages long. There is a TV show called "Legend of the Seeker" but to be honest, it doesn't even follow the book. Not one bit. Though I can't help but watch them every now and then. I haven't had time to lately, I'm sorry to say, for I've still been staring at this screen almost all day. Though Denali got me away from the computer every now and then when she wanted me to hear her sing, or watch something with her.

I'm telling yea, she's going to be a singer or something of that nature someday. She just wont stop singing. She is so cute, my little sister is. Its crazy how fast she's growing up.

Well, during some of my breaks, I've gone through some of my old school stuff. Today it was my art stuff, which I'm still not done going through. Just going through this art stuff again is making me want to draw and paint again. Something I haven't really done since last year at the high school. I just can't wait until I get this cleaning done. I'll have so much space in here now, well at least a little bit more space. Then once I get caught up with school and have a system worked out. I'll just be peachy. I just hope that I can work some sleep out in all of this. Jeesh... Ok, well I'm going to get back to school notes, and going to say hi to some of my friends on Facebook before they all go to bed. Its a school night you know.... Ok goodnight, and I just might try to go to bed early tonight. Not that it worked last night. I still ended up going to bed at like 11:30 or something like that. Ok, goodnight now. Wish me luck getting this all done.

About The Monthly Tunes....

Ok, so I tried to fit this on the side, but that didn't work out so well. So this is about the monthly tunes, so hope that you like it, and give me some feedback on some artists that you may know and would like to share.....

Quotes....

Now there's an idea... I think that I'll find a quote and make it like a quote of the day. That would be fun, and hey, you and I could possibly learn something from the quote too. Yeah, that sounds good. I'll start tomorrow.
And it will show up on the right hand side, under the "Welcome" sign, thing. You know what I mean....

Combining Quotes Into A Poem

So, it didn't rain today, but it sure was cloudy and windy.... You could only see the sky when the clouds parted a little, but then they just covered everything up again. A few times, the sky just looked really beautiful because of the lighting and the way the clouds were..... I wish that I had a working camera so that I could have captured the image. It was amazing.
Ok, so I'm not working tonight, or tomorrow night, so today I, of course, got to stare at this computer screen all day. Just like I'm doing now..... I'm going to try and go to bed early tonight.
And in staring at this screen practically all day, I've gotten like two assignments done, one of which I had a little fun doing.....
It was this Poetic Definition Assignment... and it wanted me to look up three dictionary definitions of the word "poetry." Did that, not really that exciting though. Then it wanted me to combine those three definitions into one definition. Did that, not quite to the cool part yet..... Then I was supposed to find quotes about what other people thought poetry was. Getting warmer..... Here are the quotes that I got:

"Poetry is what gets us lost in translation." - Robert Frost
"Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of dictionary." - Kahlil Gibran
"The poem is the point at which out strength gave out." - Richard Rosen
"Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement." - Christopher Fry
"Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.." - Charles Simic

Those are the quotes that I chose, and for the next part, I was supposed to combine the quotes into a poem. This is the part that I really liked doing:

Lost in translation
of joy and pain and wonder,
our strength gave out;
which man explores his own amazement
enough to sew this poem into a blanket.

I don't know about you, but I really like it. Anyways, that's that.
Oh, and I actually did better today with what I do when taking breaks...... I had a lot of old school papers to go through, so I finally got some out and started working on those. While going through my old english notes, I found some poetry stuff that I was able to use for one of the assignments that I got done today. I also found some essays that I did in middle school and stuff that I totally forgot about. It was cool. I miss middle school. The assignments then were actually fun to do. Now its like, you get this done or you get an F..... No fun in that. The least teachers can do is make the assignments a little fun, even if we're high schoolers. It would be good to have fun while doing these hard assignments, before we get out in the real world and start doing the really hard stuff. Yeah......
Ok, well I think that I'm pretty much done with school for today, so I'm going to get ready for bed and go through somemore of my old school notes. Get rid of some stuff that I really don't need. I was actually able to use some of the old papers that I don't need as note pads. Its a good way to recycle. I just folded the paper in half, cut it, and then folded that again, cut it and stapled a certain amount of the paper together, which formed a note pad.
My Mom does it with hers, and so I thought, well, that's a good way to recycle..... Now I just need to get a blender and like a sort of window screen so that I can recycle the used paper and make more paper without having to buy more paper. Now that's a good way to recycle. Though I know what you would need to make new paper, I just don't know how to do it. And plus, I don't think that it would do very well through the printer. Though it would make a very cool card, if you added some like food coloring or something..... IDK
Ok, heading for more papers, so goodnight. And lets just see if it ends up raining tomorrow.

Rain, Rain, Rain

So, it rained today. And not just your average sprinkle rain that lasts like an hour or something. It has been raining all day today, literally. I heard it rain when my alarm clock went off this morning at 7:00. Still rained when I got out of bed. And it rained, hard I might add, when I was going to work at 6:30. And I don't know when it finally stopped, but when I was coming home, the rain stopped. But when the rain left, it was freezing cold. My nose and hands still feel cold right now. And i guess tomorrow it is going to be the same as today. More rain. I gotta say, I love the rain and all, but too much is just too much.....
Ok, so I got most of my notes done, but I stopped so that I can actually get some assignments done. And I did get one done today, and I was going to try and get another one done, but I'm just too tired. I mean I'll try to blast the music in my ears. That usually works for a little while. But I also gotta say, that staring at this screen all day... the music may not help much. In fact, if I even try to get something done, I'll probably just fall asleep at my desk, which would leave me with a bad neck ache, and possibly back ache; so I think I'll pass on that.
Man, it sounds really windy outside.... and I'm just waiting to hear that rain again, falling on the roof.
Ok, I give in to being tired. I'm heading off to bed now..... Goodnight, and hopefully its at least a little warmer where you are. Just a little....

First Picture

Ok, so this isn't my first picture that I've put on here... so its more like first non-internet picture.

I was feeling in a sort of goofy mood at the time, and I was going to french braid my hair, but it turned into pigtails. When Denali saw them, she wanted some too. Now, since we both had pigtails at the time, I just thought a picture was necessary. So here it is.... Granted its from my webcam, because I haven't fixed my camera yet, but it doesn't seem to look that blurry.....

Of course I don't really know if you can see my pigtails, but they're there.

Anyways, I did school again today. They were just more notes that I had to type and print out though. Nothing really knew. Though, again I'm hoping to stay up a little later tonight so that I can get at least one assignment done. I think that I did get one done the night before. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I did.

I went to work today, and just about finished cleaning a big mess. I'll tell yea, when I stood back to look at the work that I did, I was surprised. Just wowness took over me. Hahaha... I don't think that's a word, but ok. My boss is coming back into town tonight and probably coming back to work tomorrow, so I'm wondering what her reaction is going to be..... IDK. I'll just have to wait and see.

Ok, well I'm going to get ready for bed and get to staring at this screen again. Which by the way, about those breaks.... Still stuck on the TV, but I'm hoping that will stop by tomorrow.

Ok, turning in for the night. Don't forget to bundle up. Its been pretty cold lately. At least up here, so.... Stay warm, and goodnight.

Power Outage

Well, I really don't know what to say.... I got like one assignment done for school today. Of course, it was sort of hard, and I had to look over my notes again. But, yeah. Just pretty much did school. Then I went to work at 3:35.... But guess what?! The power was out. If fact the power was out at T's, 7 Eleven, that building where Fredricks, The Bite, and Rainbow Printing was out too. I went to work with know one to let me in, which wouldn't have mattered anyway, cause we were unable to show the 4:30 showing. I got a hold of one of the managers, and she just told me to go home and come back at 6:30. So I don't even know when the power came back on, but it did, so we were able to have at least one showing tonight, which was good. It was just kind of a drag because of how many people I had to turn away, telling them, mistakably to come to the 9:30 showing, when the next show was actually at 7:15. Oops.... Only one person showed up though at 9:30, which was good, otherwise I would have had to turn the same people away with the sorry for getting the times wrong.
Ok, well I'm going to print these school notes out, and then head off to bed. I'm excausted, again. So, ok.... Bye now.... And goodnight....
Yeah, ok, later..

TV

I got a couple of assignments done today. So I only have minus that couple to go. I'm going to try to work on at least one more assignment before I go to bed. I, well... I took a break from school. Like about a 3 1/2 hours of a break. It wasn't really the best break either. I just ended up staring at another screen the whole time. The TV screen. Thought that would wake me up a little more, which it did, sort of. It just didn't really work to look at another screen. Next time I take a break, I'll just read a book or something that doesn't require looking at an electronic screen.
They were good movies though. We, meaning my Mom, Denali and I, watched A Cinderella Story and My Fake Wedding, on ABC Family. What comes on next is A Walk To Remember. I really want to watch it too. I love that movie. Who doesn't? Anyways, I just figured that it'd be good to get something done. Hopefully I actually get something done. I mean I was going to clean my room last night, but didn't really get to it, just cause I was tired.
Who knows.... Maybe if I'm still as awake as I am right now, I might get to clean my room a little bit. Course I have to get at least one assignment done first.
Again I didn't really wake up at the time I was supposed to. But at the same time, I did go to bed at like midnight last night. Not good. I know that it's going to happen again, but hey I got stuff to do. And I've got work tomorrow.....
Now I'd better go, because this assignment is going to take a while. Well, not even a while, rather a long time. Yeah, that sounds about right...... I have to compare and contrast a language comparison between Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and Common Sense. Two pieces of work that are very long and will take forever to read. Jeeesh. Hopefully I don't have to read the whole thing of the two. I'll have to double check the assignment.
Ok, here I go.... And hopefully next time I need a break, I'll think of something else that might keep me awake longer and, yeah. You know what I mean.
Goodnight, and hopefully its as warm tomorrow as it was today.

Toy Story 1 & 2 (And 3?)

Last night I stayed up until 3 in the morning. And no, I didn't get any assignments done, sadly. I just had a lot of reading to do most of which were on the Salem Witch Trials. Lets just say that it was a long night. So I finally went to bed at like 3, and set my alarm for about 6:30. My alarm went off, but it didn't really help to wake me up. I ended up sleeping in until 10. My Mom came into my room, irritated I might add, that I was still in my bed and not up doing school. I'm just happy that that's the only time she got mad at me today. So today went pretty well.
Today, I of course did more school, and I'm just happy that I got this one assignment done. I've been skipping because it was just hard and a lot more work to put in it than possibly the other assignments that I have to do before my midterm. No, I haven't taken my midterm yet. This is a hard class so give me a break... Anyways, this assignment had to do with a sermon written by Jonathan Edwards called Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God. I gotta say that that thing is long, but I finished the assignment today, and I'm just so relieved and happy to get it out of the way. Granted, I only got one assignment done today, but it was big, at least to me, and just kinda hard all together.
My friend Megan called me today, inviting me to come with her to see Toy Story 1 & 2 in theaters, in 3-D. But alas I had to say no, because I still have a lot of school to do..... She said that was cool and that maybe we can see it next weekend, which would be cool. I think I saw in the preview that there is a Toy Story 3 coming out, and that at the end of the 3-D movie, it'll show a sneak preview of Toy Story 3. I just wonder what this one is going to be about.....
Tonight was kinda hectic... I mean we had a change of the movie from Couples Retreat to The Informant. A lot of people came, sort of at the last minute, which didn't really matter because we couldn't even get the movie started. It took us about a half an hour to finally get the movie going. But within that half hour, a lot of people came out asking for a refund. It just wasn't a good night. We finally figured out that one of the breakers for the projector just wasn't switched on, and that was the problem the whole time. It just wasn't a good night. Though now that we know what the problem was tonight, there wont be any problems tomorrow. I just wish that I was able to stay longer, just because I had more work that I could have done for my boss. I just hope to get it all done before she gets back on like Tuesday.....
Lot of stuff to do and little time to get sleep. I'm so tired.... OMG, you have no idea. I could use a Pumpkin Spice latte from Starbucks right about now. Anyone got one??? No? Too bad.
Ok, so I have more school to get done and hopefully I have less reading and more typing to do tonight for those assignments I have to get done.
Goodnight everyone, and wish me luck. I hope to do my midterm on Monday, and I have 27 more assignments to go. Meanwhile I'm going to get this school stuff done, and watch my baby sister Denali sleep on my bed. She fell alseep reading these Brain Quest cards. She just makes me wish I could sleep right now.... Makes me just want to be a kid again so that I don't have to worry about all this stuff yet...
Ok, nite now.

War of the Worlds

Ok, wow.... While doing my school stuff, I'm learning more about the broadcast of War of the Worlds, and how it stirred panic among many Americans who were big radio listeners at the time. On each of my school pages about War of the Worlds there is a picture of what the book cover looked like, for instance, in 1913....
Like I said before, I saw the movie "9" tonight, and for those who don't know what its about, its about robots taking over the world, and with every human being killed, this scientist is able to make these puppets that he designed to destroy the robots.
Now I'm looking at the pictures of these book covers from War of the Worlds and this one book cover really caught my attention. It had robots on the cover, and they looked almost exactly like the robots that were in the movie "9". Weird, I know, but then it got me thinking.... How would a person figure out a storyline for movies or books? They could get them from scary or memorable times in the past.... What if this movie "9" was written in a sort of way that connected with the book War of the Worlds? What if the writer got some of his ideas from War of the Worlds? Its possible.

Ok, so here is the book cover that I saw. So if you've seen the movie "9", then you know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I just thought that was weird and cool, so I just had to share my discovery. If you could even call it that. Ok, I'm getting back to school, so laters, or..... goodnight it would actually be.

9

Today was a little better. IDK.....
I was able to see my friend Whitney today, which made me really happy. We went to go see the movie "9" (directed by Tim Burton). It was a good movie, though it wasn't really one of those movies that you'd want to see again. I thought that we were going to get "Couples Retreat" at the theater up here, but apparently not. I guess we're getting "The Informant" (directed by Steven Soderbergh). It looks like a good movie, but a lot of people were hoping for "Couples Retreat", but hey, its not the theaters fault when they can't get a movie, so don't blame the theaters. Next week we should be getting "Law Abiding Citizen" which I know I've seen the preview, I just can't remember what its about. I know I thought it was good. IDK... I'll have to look it up when I have time.
As for today, I thought it kind of good. My Mom and I didn't really talk much today..... And Denali came into my room like every 5 seconds wanting me to play with her or do something for her. She's so cute. I wish I was able to put pictures on here, but I'm still trying to fix my camera. I just need to find a small screw driver to take it apart and see if I can open the lense from the inside, cause trying from the outside isn't working so well. So wish me luck with that.
I hope that as the days pass on, my days will be getting better. I'm just hoping. Whitney was able to cheer me up a little today. I just hope that I get enough school done tonight and tomorrow that I can see my friend Megan tomorrow. We were going to go see a movie, "Couples Retreat". But since its not playing, we can probably find something else to do. Who knows, she might be able to spend the night or something... We'll just have to wait and see...
Ok, back to school for me. God only knows how long I'll be up tonight. I just hope that I'm able to get more than one assignment done. Ok, goodnight. Until tomorrow.

A Day...

Today was a little bit better than the last couple of days, which brought me down. I felt really crappy during those last couple days. I still actually do feel crappy, but today was a little better than the last two. Pretty much the only downer, is when I came home from work and my Mom asked again if Ryan tried to contact me today. I didn't even want to talk about it, but she would have told me to tell her, so I just did. I did see Ryan today, and I was so happy to see him too. I just didn't like what I had to tell him.... I had to tell him that I could no longer see him, and it really hurt me, and I could see that it hurt him too.
There is a fine line that people shouldn't cross because it either stresses a person out or it just puts a person over the top. Something like that.... Anyway, my Mom crosses that line daily, and she doesn't even seem to care, which just hurts. I mean if she didn't keep pushing me and crossing that line, I would have told her about the talk with Ryan when I was ready to tell her. But like I said before, I just told her because I knew that she would cross that line and push me to tell her, even if I said that I wasn't ready to talk about it. I just wish that she would stop because it just seems like she thinks too much about being a Mom, than how I would feel, as her daughter, about certain things that would hurt me. This being one of those things......
I just don't really know what else to say, but that I'm tired, feel crappy, which you already know, and am hoping that friends can make me feel better.
This weekend I'm just hoping that am able to accept my friend Megan's invitation to have a sleepover at her house. We might go see Couples Retreat, which plays at the theater up here on Friday; and that movie looks hilarious. Though I don't know if it'll be funnier than The Hangover. We'll see..... Hopefully I'll be cheered up this weekend, because I need it. Really.
Anyway, I'm going to let these drowsy eyes close, so goodnight and let's just hope that tomorrow is a little bit better than it was from the beginning of this week to now. Tomorrow I start doing more school, which I did today, but I'm not working tomorrow, so I'll be staring at this screen all day tomorrow.
Ok, going to bed now. Laters....

Sleepy, Crappy, & Sleepy

Ok, so today was not a very good day at all. And it all started when my Mom said that I couldn't see my boyfriend, Ryan anymore. Who does she think she is? I mean, I know that she's my Mom and all, but she shouldn't be able to have a say in any relationship I have with anyone, no matter what they do or not. It's just not right. I'm going to out of the house in about a year. I'm 17, and she shouldn't be telling me who I can and cannot date. I mean, OMG!!!!!
That is what started my crappy day. And on top of that, I'm extremely tired, so my Mom yelling at me and telling me what I can and cannot do didn't help, at all. It just made me even more stressed out.
OMG, my eyes are just burning through their sockets right now. Jeez.... I'm going to bed after I'm done checking my mail and everything. I mean I was going to stay up and do school but I'm just so tired.
When I got off work just now, I walked through the door to hear Denali crying. When I went over there to see what was wrong, my Mom told that Denali had a mouth on collision with the dining room chair. OUCH!!! She wanted me to hold her, and so here she is in my lap watching me type. She stopped crying, but she is probably going to bed soon.
Well, I'm going to hopefully go to sleep. I just can't even believe that my Mom is not letting me see someone that I really like, and might possibly love. I know what your thinking. OMG, teenagers, they just think that they are in love with just about the first person that they date, or something like that. But IDK, I really do like him, and it just really hurts, like someone just punched me in the stomach a couple of times, when my Mom says that I can't see him anymore.
She just really hurt me and for that I'm not talking to her for a while.....
Oh, wait!!! Did I mention that it snowed today?! Yep, it so did, and it just coming on and off. Though tonight while I was at work, it came down hard and thick, but it didn't stick. It did create ice on the wind shield of my co-worker's car however when she was giving me a ride home. And boy was it freezing. I'm glad that I brought my beanie.
Ok.... Signing out now. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little bit better, but IDK about that.....
Goodnight

Beef Stew

Yep, that's what I had for dinner tonight. And, well, I didn't completely get my wish, but I did get to see Ryan, which is what I wanted. I would have rather gone to his house and watched one of the many movies that he has, most of which I have never seen or never heard of. But, alas, he came over, late I might add, but none the less, he came over and ate dinner with me, Denali, and my Mom. And the beef stew was good too. In fact I could have somemore if I really wanted to. But I'm tired so I'll just call it a day.
Sadly I don't see the stars tonight. I was actually told that it was supposed to snow possibly tonight and all day tomorrow, which would be good for business at the movie theater. I hope. Just because there would be nothing to do outside, in town, so usually people would come to the movies. Yep, I'm also working tomorrow. Tiffany, my boss, is out of town at the moment so I'm kind of lost of what stuff I should do. Because she usually lets me know what she would like for me to do, like filing for her or something of that sort. Now I'm just sort of lost, and trying to figure out what to do until she gets back. And no I'm not the kind of person that just does whatever she wants because the boss isn't there. And I'm not the kind of person that likes sitting around doing nothing, at least when I'm at work. When it comes to school, I don't mind just sitting around doing nothing.
Since there is possibly going to be snow tonight, I'd better bundle up good; cause I don't want to be waking up in the middle of the night because it is so cold. I need to get some sleep, just oh so badly. These English assignments are killing me. I almost got one done today, but pretty much all of these assignments require research, and for me, its twice as much research, because I have a hard time understanding certain stuff. It doesn't always help when Denali comes into my bedroom wanting me to her a book, or come downstairs and do something with her. But hey, she is only four years old.
Ok, I'm going to hit the hay and probably fall asleep in less than a minute. Haha, less likely, but who knows. I'm so tired. Now, I've got a lot to do tomorrow so hopefully I'll get a lot of sleep and still be able to wake up at 8:30 or 9:00. I'm just hoping......
Goodnight, and yea, just goodnight.
(Zzzzzzzzzzzz......)

Just Tired

Tiredness is taking over my body. God, I'm just so tired that I could just pass out right now, but sadly I can't. I've got more school to do. Man, I could really use that coffee right now, or an energy drink. Last night I stayed up until around 1 or 2 in the morning trying to understand these assignments and research them. There is no way that I can get all this done by Monday, even if I worked 24-7, I still wouldn't get it all done in time.
I just got off work, and am hitting the books, so to speak. Really I'm just going to be staring my computer down reading endless notes from the assignments that I have to research. And the only way that I'll be able to stay up, for at least a couple more hours, is if I get my headphones on and turn the volume on my computer to just about the highest it can go. When you have loud music sounding off in your ears, its hard to even fall asleep. But for me, I'll get used to it eventually, and end up going to bed earlier than I planned. Then again, I do need my sleep. If I don't get at least some sleep, then I just wont feel good, and lets just leave it at that. For example, as I said before, I went to sleep at around 1 or 2 in the morning and then set my alarm for 8:30. I didn't actually get out of bed until like 9:30, but with getting like less than 8 hours of sleep..... It just made me feel crappy all day today, so I really don't want to have a day like that again. Though they do come every once and a while, no matter how much sleep you get.
I haven't really seen any of my friends lately, and I miss Ryan (boyfriend). I don't really even remember the last time I saw him, though I do know that it was sometimes this week.
I just hope that I can get out of the house sometime this weekend, cause I'm already going crazy being stuck in this house doing school all day and almost all night. A person just needs to get out and breath, you know? Today it wasn't that cold, but it was still chilly, which just gives me a little insight about how cold it is going to be tonight. Brrrr....
Well, I better get going on this school. I want to get at least one assignment done before I possibly pass out at my desk. That would be an uncomfortable way to sleep.
Anyway, laters. My Mom is making grilled cheese sandwiches and I'm not missing out on that, for I am starving.
Goodnight all.... Until a new day begins. (In like a half an hour.)

One Artist Month

It being exactly as it sounds, I will play one artist for this whole month, whether it be just one artist, or one soundtrack (that is if I'd be able to find one whole soundtrack, or at least most of the songs). This is something new that I want to try out, just changing up the music so that no one has to hear the same music every month. Though you may hear the same song at least every other month. This also gives me a chance to find new artists that I like.
For "One Artist Month" I put Bowling For Soup. I haven't really listened to them that much, but I have been listening to them today, and so I thought, why not? So here they are, and no worries... the playlist is on shuffle so you don't hear the same song everytime you come on this page.
I'm still working out of what I'm going to play next month, but hey, its the beginning of this month so I have lots of time....
(Also, if you are one of those people that doesn't like the fowl language, then I'd advise not listening to some of these songs.)
Enjoy...

Change In the Air

So there is not one cloud in the sky right now, and the sun is shining brightly. The question is, why is it still so cold. I mean I'll admit, its not as cold as it was yesterday and the day before, but I mean come on. Oh, well. I kinda like this weather, though I do need to save up and go get somemore winter clothes.
Right now I'm tired and am actually getting more English assignments than I have in the last couple of days, which I'm happy about. I just hope that I get so much done that I wont need an extension before I have to take my midterm, which is on Monday. Yikes!!!! I'm hoping that I can get all of my assignments done that are before my midterm before I even have to take my midterm. At times like these I wish I could walk down to Starbucks and get a latte. To take because I'm cold, and because I need a sort of energy boost to wake me up because I am oh so tired.
Its a new month, and I have decided that every month I'll be changing my playlist. Just to put something new on so that I, as well as others, don't have to hear the same songs. So sometime this week I'll put some new songs up, so listen for them, and when Christmas comes closer, I'll of course put Christmas music on, which I will love. In fact, I'm actually listening to some Christmas music early. I don't know why, but hey, its cold outside, and did I mention that it snowed two nights ago? It didn't stick, but yes, it did snow. I couldn't see the sky that night, but then that's not completely true. When my Mom told me was snowing outside, I just sprang awake and looked outside, and sure enough there was snow coming down. After looking outside for a while, I went back to bed. A couple hours later I woke up again, and because I was so curious at whether it was still snowing, I looked out my window. It was not snowing, and the sky was so clear, that I could see many stars staring at me from above. I guess that's weird weather for ya. It may have been at night, but its still weird weather.
Fall and winter are coming fast. I just hope that I can get somemore jeans and longsleeve shirts before the worst of the cold weather comes. Well, I'm going to get back to my English stuff, so look for those new songs and I'm still trying to fix my camera. Sorry that there are no pictures up yet, but as soon as you see some new pictures on here, that don't look like they are from my webcam, then that means that either I got a new camera, or that I fixed my old one.
Wish me luck, and start bundling up, cause this cold weather is sure coming fast. I'm seeing orange leaves fly passed my window just about everyday, and it looks so cool. I just wish that I had a camera of some sort (video camera, ordinary camera) so that I could have been able to watch it again.
Bye now. I got some notes to read.....
