Not Again

Once again, today, another guy tried to walk into the woman's restroom. He realized what was happening before he went in but it was really funny. NO MORE SCHOOL!!!!!! And we made it safely home before it started snowing.

Oh wow.

Just now, in the library of Shasta College, a man just walked out of the woman's restroom. Just now, truely. As he walked past he saw for the first time the men's room and voiced his mistake. It was funny!!! ^_^

New Snow

Well, one more day after today and I will have no more school for this semester. Lots of stuff happened, well sorta, and I was able to sleep in today. Even though Jacquie woke me up around three with her blowing her nose like a fog horn in the living room.(she's sick) These pics are of the new snow that is at our house. Also the Christmas tree we got, more snow, and the cats...I love my cat, she's the black and white one. OMGOSH, it is only one week until Christmas!!!!!!!! This year has gone by sooo quickly, I don't know what to do with myself.

UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh, four projects in the next four days...and all of those in History. 1.5 things due in English which I love, Mr. Bailey is the bestest ever!!! Earth Science is really fun and soon to be over. Only one and a half weeks left of school!!! I can't wait until I am able to get 12 hours of sleep. I love sleep. And reading. And writing...I can get to writing my little stories now.

Good Grief

Well, here I am saying that I will now be able to update more often and what happens? Nothing. Geez. Well, I guess that all I can comment on are, the holidays coming up, yeay!! My car is still running even though I have traveled over 200 miles a week in it, and gas here is 1.75!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!! I no longer pay 50 dollars a week to gas up, only about 30. My sister is pregnant again and my younger sister is going to go to school down south and stay with her, and I just realized that that meant she will be around the Wii for a whole semester!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
Oh well, at least I will be able to work on getting my own room. (I have to share with my littlest sister, she is 12 and messy)But if I can get things to work, she will have the room to herself to clean (he he he he) and I will have the basement once again, and share with the mice...DECON!!!!
I am very excited for this coming Christmas, no one is coming over and I am getting only one present, but it is something I really really wanted for years. And I really don't need anything but I could use some money. (Duh) Well, until I get my present for Christmas, none of you will know, it has to be a surprise for someone right?

Halloween

Well, Halloween this year was a little wet, it sprinkled on us and we didn't get any candy. It was kinda boring actually since we really didn't plan anything ahead of time and by 8:30 all of us were tired. My costume was made from things I bought, borrowed, and my mom made (i was too lazy to get on her really nice, old machine and make the skirt)(i was worried i might break a needle)(i do every time)anyway, i got pictures of what i looked like for Halloween so Kristie can see. Oh and the cat is there too.

School Again

Hey there again, I am typing from a VERY fast connection at the local college library. I have to wake up at 5:30 in the mornings of Tuesday and Thursday, and stay here until 7:00 at NIGHT!! Very long days ahead. So far the classes seem good, I still haven't gotten to my English class yet, so we'll see.

Finally

Sorry, this is a long time in coming, but with all the smoke around from the fires it's been hard to connect to the internet. So now i have some pics and info about what's going on. We have NO summer! With all the smoke it is an amazing site to see beautiful blue sky, maybe once a month, if we are lucky we get a couple of days of it before the smoke sweeps back in. All the smoke is coming from some fires that have been burning since JUNE!!!! And it gets worse when the forest service starts back firing 2 MILES away from the blaze. So MOST of what has been burned (and escaped many times) is from their back firing and NOT knowing the terrain and weather conditions for this area, some of the fire fighters here are from states where the hill I live on looks like Mt. Everest!

Well anyway, I've started making my FIRST quilt ever, and I think it turned out quite well, I still need to get the backing cut for it but I have the top DONE!!

We also went to the coast a few weekends ago and I got some pictures with my sisters jumping the waves and looking out of a cave.


Also there was a herd of elk that we stopped to take pictures of, I didn't really realize how BIG they were, they are HUGE! I also couldn't resist taking a picture of the sign they were standing around.

New Hair

Well, I know you guys liked the hair from the last post, but I decided to get a hair cut yesterday and this is the result.

Cat and Hair

Well, we have a better name for my cat, Nervous Nelly, but we just call her Nelly. She is getting bolder now, she gets up on my parents bed and sleeps with them, she doesn't run every time the other cat chases her and she lets you pet her if you are laying flat on the floor.

Now about the hair, i have done something that i have never done before, curled my hair...my mom helped me with it since it is soo long and i've never used the curlers before...i like it but i think i need to use more curlers and put less hair in them.

New Junk

Well, I've recently received a new cat, she is about 3-5 years old, bobtailed and terrified, she had been living alone for 3 months because her owner died and no one took her in, then I hear that they are thinking of putting her down so I adopted her. She is soo cute, but she hasn't left the cat carrier, not even to get food so I put the food in there, and now I am going to move her cat box closer. Poor Baby, no one knew her name so I named her Baby.
In other new things, I borrowed 1080 Avalanche from my friend and my sisters went crazy on it! Not that I mind because that means that they will catch up to my level soon, even though dearest Sibling has beaten me in the tricks department.
Sibling is my sister closest in age to me and Midget is my youngest sister, though I don't have a nickname for Kristie.

SNOW!!!!!

We've gotten so much snow recently, the total is 17 inches but I have the measurements from one snowfall. Then it snowed again. I think another front is coming in tonight or tomorrow. (hope NOT, I've already shoveled out the driveway twice...and a half).

Rabbit Surgery

UGGGG!!!! Our rabbit had been growing this THING on the side of his face for a few weeks now, it was about the size of a golf ball and a half. His eye got swollen closed and we were afraid that we would have to put him down. But he scratched at it today, popped a hole in the THING and it started to ooze and gush and be ABSOLUTELY disgusting! It seemed to take for ever to drain out, even with us helping it along. My sister was hiding in the room and my mom hid herself in the kitchen, so it was only me and my dad to help him. I almost puked. Even now, hours later, the mere thought of it makes me gag. I am chewing gum right now so that is helping settle my stomach. At least the rabbit seems happier and more lively.

A New Year and More Sleep

Oh wow, it is a new year already and I am now a year older...scary. Not only that, but it means a new semester of college! This semester I am able to take all my classes from my home town, instead of waking up at 5:30 in the morning to catch a bus to drive an hour and a half to the college, then stay there until 4 and have a long drive back home...Now I can wake up at 9 (not that I do with my sisters getting ready for school at 7, but still almost 2 hours more sleep)spend 45 min getting ready and take my class...the only one that I have at 10 is on Friday, and I have another one at 2.
All my other classes start later then that, one at 11 one at 3 and one at 6, and I have Monday and the weekend to work, and do homework, LOTS of homework. But at least this time I enjoy both my English classes that I am taking. Gothic Literature and Creative Writing.

I want to share the first exercise that we did in Creative Writing, since it was the only one that was greeted with a silence at the end. The activity was to choose an Abstract word from a list we created and a Concrete word. The concrete word was passed onto the person to our right, then we had to make a sentence with it. I ended up with My DARKNESS is a MOUNTAIN. The capitalized words are the words that were chosen. Other people got ones like, my rage is sand, my vengeance is mars, or my rage is a shovel. Then we had to write for a few minutes on how it was a mountain, or sand, or what ever we got. Here is mine.

My darkness is a mountain. It weighs me down but is not as heavy as some. Sharp and jagged in places, then slippery and smooth in others, split by valleys of emotion or thought. Then peaked by attitude and actions.
Falling apart and crumbling, settling and hardening. But still not as heavy as some. Bumpy and confusing, I get lost in it often, until I stumble into a part I've already been and begin again. Neighbored by others and yet standing alone.
Eruptions make it grow, the soothing winds and crystal rain break it down. But still I am lost, until I find my path again. My darkness is a mountain, life itself. I forge new paths that take me to new ends. Some final at a cliff, or open in a valley. I get stuck, have to retrace my path, going back is new too. I see things from another angle. Only me to contend with myself, no clear path to take.
Secrets riddle the mountain, mine to keep and discover. Confusing at best but exciting as well. I get lost easily, the longer I go the further I get, until I find a way to get back on track where it is familiar.

All the other writings got some murmurs and "that's good"s but there was a bit of a silence after mine and it made me a embarrassed. But as I read it over I really like it. And that is what counts.
