bored... once again

2008-01-14T16:03:00.000-06:00

i've decided to do my random post thing again. they were fun to do and i kinda miss them.
anywoo, closing my eyes.
okay, one, two, three, open
Certificate
hmm, okay, so the word certificate... its on this blue sheet of paper that i got at my baptism. it says "certificate of baptism" at the top. its weird. i can't stop myself from smilling as i look at it. it was a good day. probably one of the best. it was my birthday and my wedding day all rolled up in one...
wow. i can't believe how far i've come this year. actually- more like i can't believe how far God's brought me this year. i'm not a kid anymore. i'm a woman of God. wow. I can't believe how far God's brought all of us this year. you guys have grown a lot too. have i mentioned how honored i am that we all got to be a part of mexico together? i love you guys.

:(

2007-12-10T21:00:00.000-06:00

i miss you guys so much. it feels like ive been pushed away and i miss hanging out! i guess its cause of school and what not.. oh well.. i just wanted to say that i lover you all!!!!!
xoxoxoxox

ha

2007-12-02T15:06:00.000-06:00

hey katie, remember that one time that we commented 119 times on a post? i was reading through it and i can't rememebr what half of it means...

bored

2007-11-30T13:23:00.000-06:00

i am in creative writing class...
i have a feeling this post will not be as amusing as the other ones because there are no amazing memories in this room. but anyway...
i am closing my eyes. okay, open them in three... two... one.
Paintbrush.
all i have to say is crap. because i know very little to nothing about painting. you guys know that i am about as far from artistic as anyone can possibly be...
so, paintbrush eh?
I think i need some inspiration with a picture. wow, there are officially no good pictures of people painting on the internet...
i'm back to being bored.
meh, i guess i'll just have to pretend that i'm painting. on comes the poetry...

The sky errupts in streaks of gold as the brush glides to the top of the page. the image is undefined in my head but my hand seems to know exactly what it wants to see. the gold of the paint makes the flowers at the bottom of the page come to life. The sun kisses the smallest petals in the wide open field. the open to breathe their beauty into the world. the field fills with soft yellows, stingingly bright oranges and pinks, and seductive blues and reds. my brush takes a mind of its own and sets the grasses and the flowers dancing in the wind. i blow softly on the pages drying the paint, imagining the field swaying in the breeze. and lastly, the sky. oh the sky! the gold of the sun is almost lost in the maze of colors bouncing off the clouds. the softest purples, most vibrant pinks echo silently as they fill the tapestry. the blue is clear beyond clear. the world is at peace. as i stare at the painting my lungs fill with a stong desire to find that field, to know that it is real. to feel the sun kiss my cheeks and the soft wind dance through my hair. i set my brush down and feel myself consumed by the color. consumed by the beauty.

another random and pointless post

2007-11-13T15:45:00.000-06:00

i'm closing my eyes right now.
okat they are closed... now when i open them, the first word.
and the word is..........
california.
i have a picture from gracie's b-day where almost all of the mexico girls were present and there's this one picture when we were all around the fire and katie is to my left and janelle is to my right. and katie's wearing a bunnyhug that's blue and it says "california- blue skies, hot guys" on it. lol. she's got the paper rose in her hand that someone made that looks totally insane. i don't know who made it, but it's intense. i've got my pink cupcake shirt on that i haven't worn in a while... and janelle has a blue 3/4 length shirt on and we're all sharing a big mickey mouse blanket. and the picture looks really cool because its kind of distorted because of the smoke that came out from the fire pit.

blah

2007-10-25T14:58:00.000-06:00

i have no idea why i'm blogging here.
and i have no idea what i'm going to write here, so i ve decided to write the first thing that pops into my head...
...
...
...
BLAH! nothing is coming. my mind is completely blank. apparently, i have absolutely no brain.
....
...
...
okay, fine. i'm going to close my eyes and then open them and the first word that i see when i open them, i'm going to write about....

closing eyes now

open eys (yes, i just typed that with my eyes closed_
My word is "footloose"
you know the ticket for Keith and Carly's musical last year? i still have it pinned up on my billboard thinger- wait, no, it's called a corkboard?- ha, cork board! i know thats not what its called, but it that thing that's made of cork that you pin stuff up on. i'm really bad with names, haven't you noticed? anyway, back to the word footloose. it was awesome by the way. i remember that after the show when we were just hanging around i expressed an interest in the guy who played main character to carly and of course she thought she needed to introduce me to him. which, i totally did not want her to do. so i ran away and hid in a bathroom. and then Mylandra and Carly found me in the bathroom and they laughed at me which i thought was very inconsiderate considering they put me in the akward position in the first place. Grrr. he was rather cute though.
that's my random adn pointless story. hope you enjoyed it

LA la LA

2007-10-12T17:37:00.000-06:00

from my prayer journal this morning

2007-08-14T11:26:00.000-06:00

I turn to you with faith because you've never shown yourself to be unfaithful. God. i want to praise you for the inspiration the Owen family is. God your creation is beautiful and they magnify your love, graciousness, and your caring heart. as you care for your people, so they have shown it. I ask you here today that your will be done. God if it is the path you have already chosen, I ask that you let Destiny stay where she is loved. God would you bless her future and where ever her future lies, God would you be a part of it? Surround her with people who love her and even more so, people that love you. God if she does stay with the OWen family, I know she will have a future filled with those who love you and she will be encouraged to be a woman of Christ. But God, you will be done. AS hard as it might be-your will. I have faith that whatever emotions- whether sorrow and confusion or joy and love- they will shape the people involved. Please, God, bless this family. you are good and you are faithful. Pray this in your name daddy. we love you.
God I also want to pray specifically for my sister grace. I was just thinking the other day of how i was so sure that she and leon were totally perfectly in love and they were probably going to get married one day. Which, if it does happen, I'm really excited. But hearing about her struggling has made me realize that only you know our future and only you truly know our hearts. ONly you can heal our hurts and only you can truly understand what we're going through. Father, I'm honored to be grace's friend, sister, and confidant. I pray that you would give me wisdom and a truly loving heart as i stand behind both her and leon and let me be ready to catch them if they need to just fall into my arms. God even more so, i pray that your arms would be around them. God i know how you treasure them. I know that you love leon like a son and grace as a daughter. And i know you are always working in grace's life to make her ready to become your bride. God, would you put on their hearts the importance of seeking you before all things? you said in your book, "seek first [my] kingdom and all these things will be given to you as well." i know you will bless them and give them even more than they ask for; God let them seek you first. Because only you will satisfy. You love us more than anyother person possibly could. Let us answer the call and "remain in your love". God i pray that whatever struggles they go throughor come across, they would lean on you and look to you for wisdom. you said if we call out and cry aloud for wisdom and understnading you will grant it. Just as grace prayed before, grant both her and leon wisdom.
May she also work hard in her realtionship with you. it takes effort and it also take accountability. Father, i'm sorry that i haven't been there to keep her accountable. I know i probably wouldn't have even got baptized without a little kick from trent to read your word. God, let her see how important she is to you and how much you want to talk to her. Mike talked baout it two weeks ago- you want us to be immersed and learning about you in a daily relationship surrounded by love. Would you make it clear to her that the bible is your love letter just to her. You wrote it, you lived it,j just for her. God i praise you for that book and for that love.
God lastly, i want to praise you for this summer. i see my firends coming and going and i;ve been jealous and ungrateful. But now that i lookd back on my summer i praise you. Its awesome to be able to sit down and just enjoy an entire morning with you and i know i could never have that if i filled my schedule. I am SO grateful for your goodness. I love the time i 've spent just sitting and just relaxing in you presence. God i love you and i pray that i would be convicted to center my life around you as i head back to school.
Jesus, be the center
be my source,
be my light, jesus.
be the fire in my heart, be the wind in these sails
be the reason that i live.
jesus, jesus.

summer...

2007-07-29T10:27:00.000-06:00

xoxoxo

need some prayer...

2007-07-09T10:13:00.000-06:00

guys, i got into a fight with a good friend. I NEVER GET IN FIGHTS, so this is weird. we're both very stubborn. if you guys could pray that i'd get some clarity on this things and that both of us would try not to be stubborn and that God would be in control and direct our paths, that'd be awesome. erin is really confused right now.

CAMP!

2007-06-30T12:39:00.000-06:00

heyyy guys... im sitting bored.... ha i just got facebook, that should be exciting, anyhooo i think that our blog was feeling rejected, so i am making it feel better:P ha im excited for camp!! we leave for mdt tomorrow, yay a full week of hard work... no it'll be good. soo im at mdt for a week... home for another week or two then i get to go on vacation for two weeks!! our family is trailering all over bc, it should be pretty good. ha but the day after we are supposed to get home i leave for another week at the wonderful quest. soo yeah, im basically just here for like 4 random weeks this summer... plus i'll be away at retreats and katies cabin *hint hint* lol. ohh i got a "job" too... my parents hired me, 6hrs/day 5 days a week, 8$/hr... i have to pay off egypt... which means that i will be working my butt off whenever i am here... but thats ok... work is good:P anyhoo, i think that me and katie are gunna go have lunch now... buh byes girlies♥

erin being stupid as she is always really good at

2007-06-20T20:04:00.000-06:00

umm, k, beating myself up for this. i guess, i wasn't listening to people or God as well as I thought i was. hope you guys are able to forgive me for this. i got the wrong impression and i thought there was more going on than apparently there actually is. i hope you guys can forgive me. i guess this was a listen to shut my mouth and think before i talk. not to mention somehow a hit at my pride since now i'm on my knees trying to make ammends. i really hope there's nothing actually going on.
i'm really sorry guys and i hope you can all forgive me. i think i'm gonna be quiet for a while and learn to listen before i speak.
i guess, if its okay with ya'll i'm still gonna be part of this blog...

hmm...

2007-06-19T07:59:00.000-06:00

hey guys. well i never knew any of thiswas happening. I'm not gunna take a side on this one and im not gunna say that we have to break up this blog because thats not fair. They can have their own blog too. It doesn't really matter. But if our blog is hurting someone, big deal.. we can deleate it. If its causing that much of a problem that people are fighting we can do whatever. Its better to love eachother and have a simple site on the internet deleated than to cause a fuss and fight with our sisters. Guys, lets keep it cool and just love eachother. There is no sense in fighting, just let it go. I wish that we could all be honest with eachother, we are sisters, and tell eachother when we are having a problem. That way we can fix it. Anyways, i don't think anything else should be said or talked about regarding this subject. Nobody is bad or mean. Keep the love....
xoxoxox

in response....

2007-06-18T18:34:00.001-06:00

k... i for one had no idea that any of this was going on. i really wish that if there is a problem that someone would have some up and talked to us about it. i agree with you erin when you say that we have to love one another, and i really don't want this to split up our group at all. but at the same time, i strongly think that if some one was offended by this blog, they should have said something. this blog has been here for quite a while, it kinda stated up with everyone elses... but i think that we should talk with the "four amigas", man i really dont want anyone to be hurt by this... anyhoo, i'll miss you erin, ur posts have been quite amusing♥ lotsa love to everyone

This needs our attention.

2007-06-18T16:17:00.000-06:00

okay, i want to say this with maturity and sensativity to both "sides" -if you will. so, please, i'm begging you don't take offence to this, because the purpose is to help unification and not hinder it. we as the body of Christ really arren't supposed to take sides, because we are supposed to walk with one purpose and with God leading us. i've been convicted to just bring this to our attention because it needs to be dealt with.
This is something that i've really been working at ever since Trent's talk the first day in Mexico. He said we need to love each other and that the team needs to be unified and when there is some sort of problem you should not go to bed angry with a neighbour. and you need to immediately need to deal with it.
"Let not the sun go down upon your wrath." Ephesians 4:26. "Confess your faults one to another." James 5:16. "Forgetting those things which are behind." Philippians 3:13. "Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32
some other girls within the "oneway" know about this blog and they feel like they are being left out of something. they've decided to create the "four amigas". i hope and pray that it isn't this way, but i think it is made somewhat out of spite because they feel left out. i know this isn't something that any of us have tried to do, and maybe you don't even know it's happening. but i also know that girls are weak when it comes to being very defensive about everything. the reason i'm posting this is just to bring attention to the fact that this is happening and hopefully we can do something before this gets blown out of proportion.
i've tried to talk to one of the "Four Amigas" and i will continue to talk to them about this.
i wouldn't bring this before you if i didn't think that it hurting God to see his body somehow being split apart. this is the Devil's work.
and i know that we all love each other, but small things can grow to be large if they go unnoticed and i think if we can be made aware and take action to stop it before something bigger happens, it would be awesome.
That being said, as much as it partly breaks my heart, i'm going to stop posting here. i know we have a lot of history here, and i 'm never going to forget it, but if it's cause some people to feel bad, i've been convicted to stop. I'm not in anyway preaching to you, telling you to stop and i would in no way be offended if you did. It's something personal that i've been presented with that i need to deal with.
I love you guys and i love this blog.
this is something i need to do. i'm sorry.

feeling ignored

2007-06-18T13:07:00.000-06:00

done deal

2007-06-04T17:52:00.001-06:00

hey guys i deleted that the game post because well i think we were all tired of losing the game!!

By default...

2007-06-01T15:35:00.000-06:00

this blog is getting my post by default. i have nothing interesting to say on my own blog, and nothing good to say on the onewaygirls blog...so therefore i am posting on here. because on this blog i don't care if it's random and pointless. although my blog name is random and pointless...so how does that work? i don't really know. well there is some really annoying music playing beside me...but thankfully they just turned it off!
well right now i am doing the 30 hour famine...we're doing it for school. woohooo!!! no eating for katelynn! lol it's pretty interesting...it hasn't been too bad. i started at 8 this morning which means i finish at 2pm tomorrow.
guess what. MY FEET HURT!!! i wore flip flops today...not a smart idea. there is a little spot on the inside of each foot that hurts. because it's like rubbed raw or something. and it's stupid because it's just this one tiny little spot! but it hurts like a you-know-what. so i'm debating whether i'm going to walk home from school of if i'll beg a ride...who really knows. we'll see how my feet are feeling in a hour and a bit.
darn i just realized again--i can't eat!!!
AHH! I THOUGHT OF THE GAME!
grr.. and yes i just announced that i thought of the game out loud. because you have to.
yeah jasmine and i messed up our drama scene today...jasmine lost one of her lines, then the prompter gave it to her...then we just kept losing our lines because we lost character. how annoying. hate it when that happens. so even though our scene ended up being pretty bad lines wise, our teacher said that we did a good job because our lines and even singular words were motivated...which was pretty much the entire point of doing the scenes!!!
ok 2 minutes until i have to go to the 30 hour famine gang party thing. whoop dee doo. i want to go home!!! boo hoo to me. anyways. guess what. tomorrow at 8am i have to start mulching...whoop dee doo to me again. oh well it will be alrite...it's with my daddy, jeff, and keith, so hopefully it will be fun. although i can't have lunch with them which sucks. stupid 30 hour famine. gotta hate it! anyways gotta go now. hope you enjoyed my random post.

Father God, help each girly on this blog and all the rest of the missions team to trust you this week. Father, we definately need your peace right now because there is sooo much that we could all be worrying about. Help us to get the things done that need to get done and trust you with the things that aren't going to get done. Please god let us take the drugs down and let us have a smooth ride from here across the two borders and back. Help us not to waste anytime this week. Prepare our hearts for mexico. help us to give everything we have to these kids who have so little. let us be a huge shining light in their lives and help us to learn some very valuable lessons from the people we will meet down in mexico. father, without you, we are nothing. WE need you on this trip. touch our hearts with your hand. holy spirit come and rest in our hearts. Let us give up all the stresses we feel this week, give them all up to you. We love you lord. help us honor you in all that we do. Amen.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (philippians 4:6-7)

Soliloquy

2007-05-10T17:15:00.001-06:00

There is a baby curled up
inside of me; starting to grow
unwanted by the father, and a wrinkle
in my entire life plan. A baby will change
my whole life. I’ll be a social outcast,
ridiculed by my peers. I could end
this now. It sounds so easy, so painless.
I would be rid of this problem
and no one would ever be
the wiser. It could be over today
and life would be back to normal.
But abortion is murder! This tiny babe
inside of me has been alive
only a few days—but it is still
alive. This young one’s future rests
in my hands. Should it have a fair chance
at life? Or should I do what is best
for me?
This young life inside my belly
deserves a chance to live. I will not murder
someone who hasn’t had a chance
to live.

POST 200!!!!!!!!

2007-05-04T16:53:00.000-06:00

my existance without you guys in bc

2007-04-23T08:20:00.000-06:00

still bored out here in bc. it's so pretty tho you should see the trees. it's SO green.
k, so this is me keeping the blogsite alive. not to mention i really have nothing better to do. stupid no tv rule. it pathetic how much i use it on trips. hey, youtube, is that tv? cause if it is, i'm going to die of boredom this week.
okay, i'm sorry i sound really depressed how bored i am.
k, so what have i done............
-went on the skytrain all around town- it was kinda an adventure but i was so tired half way through
- went back to the room and fell asleep at 7 and didn't wake up until 6;30 the next morning.
-went to the club to hit
-went to this conference about long-term athlete development which basically said i will never be the best player because my stupid parents got me involoved too late!! grr. i'm kinda kidding but it was still kinda depressing
-openning ceremonies were at a bowling alley. I mean a BOWLING ALLEY? how tacky is that. thankfully they were short and sweet
-went on the computer for a long time
-stole my buddy Taylor's key, (still haven't returned it to him...)
-went to white spot and was blown away by how good their food is.
-lots of pj (prayer journal) and reading alot of every young womans battle.
yeah, that's pretty much it

so ya...

2007-04-22T09:15:00.000-06:00

i don't think i told you guys about this, but anyway, a couple of days ago, wait, actually it was about a week ago, i got invited to my first drinking party. it was with the guys from my rball lesson more than half of which are in college, so it's actually legal for them to drink. I knew my dad would say no because he's not stupid. they kept saying how i'd have a safe ride home and i could leave anytime i wanted and for the most part, I was sure i didn't want to go. but then, there was this small part of me that kept thinking, i'm just curious. it kinda grew until i actually wanted to go. i had no idea why i wanted to go. i've always thought drinking partys are stupid and pointless. i always thought i was smarter than that. and then i realized it wasn't really about the drinking that i wanted to go. I just was excited that someone had actually asked me, that i was part of the group. I wanted to be a part of the group and i was a little scared of what they would think of me if i didn't want to go. that night, guess what i found, "I, yes, I am the one who comforts you. So why are you afraid of mere humans, who wither like the grass and disappear? Yet you have forgotten the Lord, your creator, the one who streched out the sky like a canopy and laid the foundations of the earth. Will you remain in constant dread of human oppressors? Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies? Where is there fury and anger now? It is gone!" Isaiah 51:12-13
It' s so hard to be different. I feel like the only one in the entire club who doesn't drink. I feel prude. and it's hard.
God, give us strength to be different and realize the world hated you first. Help us realize your love is all we need.
anyway, just some thoughts that i got from my prayer journal that i thought i'd share....THE BLOG HAS NOT DIED!!!!!

2007-04-15T19:56:00.000-06:00

guys... i think the blog has died.

2007-04-07T21:25:00.000-06:00

God has chosen you and made you his holy people. He loves you. So always do these things: Show mercy to others, be kind, humble, gentle, and patient. Get along with each other, and forgive each other. If someone does wrong to you, forgive that person because the the Lord forgave you. Do all these things; but most important, love each other. Love is what holds you all together in oerfect unity. Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking, because you were all called together in one body to have peace. Always be thankful.
Colossians 3:12-16

bored outta my mind

2007-03-27T19:27:00.000-06:00

hey guys i'm really bored right now...i'm home alone, with pretty much nothing to do...violin is done, no homework, no one is e-mailing, don't have anyone to talk to on the phone, can't watch tv or movies...so basically i'm really bored. i already responded to every e-mail i had, even the ones i didn't really have anything to say in. annnd i made a new playlist in my music...the only thing i really have to do is randomly e-mail people (which gets old after you've already told everyone all your stories) and to update blogs, but i don't have much to say right now. oh i guess i could clean my room...i should do that. or i could read this book i'm reading for english...but it has a lot of big words and it's not that interesting. and i already read my other book. this no tv thing is kinda bugging me, because i always watched tv when i was bored or something. oh well. not watching tv is pretty easy. but then again, i have had a year of experience...haha! and it's for a good cause...yeah. so well anyways i'm getting pretty frustrated with my music, even though i'm listening to my fave playlist (aka i'm not supposed to have to hit skip) i still am skipping from song to song. hey here's an idea i'll steal from erin--i'm gonna hit next, and talk about the next song that plays. so it better be good! ok here it goes...do you remember by jack johnson. oh man i love this song! it's so cool. it's him talking about him and memories he's had with his girlfriend...and i think she becomes his wife...i think. but yeah he's talking about her bike having flowers on it...lol it's such a cute song. there's things in it that i love. it's such a love song...and i love it...i just love love songs i think. they are so cute. i'm such a sap...and i love it...such a romantic...gotta love being a sappy emotional romantic junky! haha. hmm song is still going on, and now i'm all sappy and lovey-dovey which i'm only semi-enjoying...somehow it's just not as enjoyable being lovey-dovey when you really have no reason to be like that. ok. next song! treasures by the rocket summer...haven't heard this song in a while...mmm piano intro. nice. oh they're singing! ahh this is boring let's try one more song. ooh it's a violin song by leahy! ok guys if you hav never heard of leahy they are so cool i love them so much. they are this family (their last name is leahy, haha) and they all play instruments and sing...like piano and guitar and drums and VIOLIN!!! and they have all these cool songs (most of which they write themselves) and some of them are like just instrumental with like dueling violins, or duets with violins, and sweet harmonies, and all these cool melodies and stuff that get stuck in my head...haha or some of their songs actually have lyrics. and some of them are kinda sad...one of my favorite ones by them is called borrowed time and it is a song they wrote about...hmm i think it was about someone's mom dying from cancer??? something like that. anyways it's so beautiful i absolutely love it. leahy's pretty cool. i've seen them live twice...they are AWESOME live. especially if you really appreciate music, especially with violins. yeah pretty neat stuff. ok that was a fun song to talk about. right now in the song by them that i'm listening to, theres a lot of violins. oh i forgot to mention, all the leahy's riverdance! so at their concerts they all get up and riverdance and it is pretty neat to watch. and kinda loud haha. oh! blessed be your name by tree63! this song always makes me think of yc...because we sang it there with tree63 haha. and the lyrics always really make me think and get to me in a good way. and it always makes me think of robyn, because this song is bittersweet for her, or so she told our worship team. that's why we don't sing it anymore. yeah. ok well i think this is a long enough post for now. maybe i should clean my room...and work on my prayer journal...i haven't done that for like ever...bad katelynn!

EDMONTON... the whole story.

2007-03-19T16:32:00.000-06:00

okay first of all, the trip to edmonton was amazing. i don't really care if you don't want to hear about it, because i feel like talking about it and so there.
first day, we slept alot on the bus... and talked and ate and then we watched monty python. I LOVE THAT MOVIE!! it's really funny. a little derogatory at points, but sooo funny. i shared a seat with mylandra.
there was a jazz band workshop and they are awesome. i love jazz music.
we went to the West Ed mall and shopped for like 4 or 5 hours straight. It was so much fun! i ate bakin-robbins for i think, the first time ever. i was shopping for a dress because we were going to go to a fancy dinner theatre the next day. i tried on a dress that was 110$ it was pretty, but i had half that amount to last me the entire weekend with food. i found one that was in between fancy and not-fancy and most important, it matched my shoes. the dress was from old navy. i also got a HAT!! i have a mini obsession with hats, but i've never had one. so i decided to get one, because i've really alway wanted one. ayy- yo.
then the next day the band had a workshop and then we went to an elementary school and sang and played for them. those kids were insane hyper, clapping to the jazz band way off beat. thay were too cute.
that night, we went to a dinner theatre. IT was amazing! i can't even give justice to how amazing, fun, awesome, funny, ETC it was. it was monty python themed and i got to be in a congo line and half the choir/band got to get up on stage at one point or another during the songs to dance to them. there was this guuy at the table behind me from our school called Russel who we kept challenging him to eat the worst stuff ever, and i have got to say, i'm impressed. he ate pure animal fat and horse radish dip stuff and didn't even flinch. Do you have any idea how disgusting that is? all of the servers had their own crazy, fictitionous personalities and they made them so believable it was amazing. our table had a hunchback and by the end of the night, we were like, feeling sorry for him. it was fantastical. it was one of those nights i wish i could live over and over again. not to mention, i looked pretty good. i had these at least 3 inch heels that were SO painful that i was almost limping by the end of the night. we had to walk through the entire mall to get back to the bus and there was this one boy, curtis who was like, they can't hurt that much. and all the girls turned on him and were like, okay, you wear them all the way back to the bus and if you complain once, we get to paint your nails. so i walked all the way through the mall barefoot. it was amazing and hilarious watching this tall guy stumbling around in heels. he actually was really impressive though. he was almost better than me in heels. which actually isn't all that hard considering how bad i was, but anyhoo.. where was i? o yeah, so its like 11 and outside it's really cold and we have a long walk back to the bus, but the challenge was for this guy to wear them all the way back to the bus so i'm stuck outside trying to go barefoot across the parking lot. and then mylandra runs up to this band boy, named Russel and she's like, "we have a lady in distress, come give her a piggy-back" and he's the guy who will ate the disgusting stuff and he's actually a gentleman. anyhoo, i GOT A PIGGYBACK!!! for like half a mile. i haven't been carried since i was like 10 or something. i was so amazed that he could actually carry all my weight, because i'm not light and he was actually running too! it was fun. we listened to millie's mp3 with a whole bunch of Relient K and Hawk Nelson songs on the way back and sang our lungs out and danced on the bus. it was hilarious. by the time we were all ready for bed, it was like 1 and we were absolutely exhausted.
the next morning the choir had about an hour and a half workshop with this really good vocal director. we learnt alot but everysingle one of us was half asleep not to mention the band members had to sit through it. after that, while we were still in the church i started spinning people around and i never fell, but i think i bruised the other two girls who i practically threw. then Cody Binner- you know his mom, and i jive danced. he's kinda a cutie, but he's a bit of a player and he doesn't respect that some girls don't like to be touched, if you know what i mean. anyhoo, the ride home, i slept halfway and then i played rock paper scissors- slap with three boys, beat one of them and have the bruises to show how hard i tried.

2007-03-05T20:35:00.001-06:00

heyy guys, just to let u know i found my purse.. check out my blog for more details...

2007-03-03T19:41:00.000-06:00

Hmm,
I really wanted to post, because i guess.. i haven't posted in a while... and you guys were probably getting mad at me. or not. but anyway, here i am.

i have No idea what i want to say though.....
but i'm bored and i actually want to write something...
okay, i'm going to turn on the radio, and the nexst song that comes on, i'm going to wirte about somehow...
okay, this song sucks and it's stupid and there's absolutely nothing to write about it... the next song i'll write about...
"Cry out to Jesus" by third day. i got the last two lines, so i didn't hear most of it... wait for the next song...
"I wonder why" by someone...
k, this isn't working. i'm not gettting anythoughts. AHHH!! i'm thoughtless.
this is a stupid post, i shouldn't even publish it. your now probably mad at me for writing such a pointless post and wasting your time. grr, there's something wrong with me.
oh, there is actually something i did want to say to y'all a while ago. God kinda laid it on my heart and i haven't dealt with it yet so i guess later is better than never. so anyhoo, this is kinda what i wanted to say.

a couple days ago in my prayer journal i wrote something and i learnt something from it and i need to tell you guys something. i was feeling really stressed and tired and all that jazz so before i wrote anything else, i wrote out all of my worries with the intention of giving them all up to God and just trying to find peace. And, i wasn't really expecting one of the things that i wrote out; "-friends think i'm not worth it because they think they're not important to me" and one thing about this one thing is that i wrote this right after i found out i couldn't go to Steph's birthday. i guess, God was kind of laying it on my heart to make that right with you. First of all, even though it was a while ago, steph, i'm REALLY sorry i couldn't make you birthday. I'm almost broke so i couldn't get you a present. i wanted to show you support right before your baptism and i wasn't really there for you and i'm really sorry. I really wanted to go to your birthday and to buy you a lifejacket as a joke about your baptism the second day and all that jazz.
all of you girlies have to know that you are SO insanely important to me. even though I haven't really had alot of time to just talk with each of you. just knowing your there and you love me gives me a lot. I need you to know that you are important to me.

lonely

2007-03-02T18:50:00.000-06:00

i'm home alone...and i'm lonely...
"alone, i'm lonely, alone, i'm lonely, tonight" song lyrics by pink...haha kinda a bad song i don't really suggest it...although for a couple bad words, i do really like the song...is that bad? it's really catchy, and while i don't generally like pink, i really like this song...

i updated!!!

2007-02-28T22:58:00.000-06:00

Mood Rings by Relient K

2007-02-22T15:51:00.000-06:00

we all know the girls that i am talking about
well they are time bombs and they are ticking
and the only question's when they'll blow upand they'll blow up; we know that without a doubt
cause they're those girls, yeah you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them
and i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
so we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking
cause what they're thinking...
she's so pretty but she but doesn't always act that way
her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost every days
he said to me that she's so happy it's depressing
and all i said was "someone get that girl a mood ring"
if it's drama you want then look no further
they're like the real world meets boy meets world meets days of our lives
and it just kills me how they get away with murder
they'll anger you then bat their eyes; those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize
and i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
so we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
cause we'll know just what they're thinking
cause what they're thinking...
she's so pretty but she but doesn't always act that way
her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost every day
she said to me that she's so stressed out that it's soothing
and all i said was "someone get that girl a mood ring"
cause when it's black (it) means watch your back because you're probably
the last person in the world right now she wants to see
and when it's blue it means that you should call her up immediatelyand ask her out because she'll most likely agree
and when it's green it simply means that she is really stressed
and when it's clear it means she's completely emotionless (and that's all right i must confess)
we all know the girls that i am talking about
she liked you wednesday but now it's friday and she has to wash her hair
and it just figures that we'll never figure them out
first she's jekyll and then she's hyde....at least she makes a lovely pair
mood ring oh mood ring
oh tell me will you bring
the key to unlock this mystery
of girls and their emotions
play it back in slow motion
so i may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind

oh how true somedays hey...i mean, i'm a girl, and i'm saying that thinking that other girls shoudl wear mood rings!! haha but then on the other hand...for us, i think it should be GUYS who are wearing the mood rings. i mean, raise your hand if guys confuse you sometimes! seriously, sometimes i just can't figure them out.
here's something that erika wrote a while ago...she took mood rings by relient k and changed it so it's about guys! i took the liberty to steal it from her...haha thanks erika! (even though she's probably not reading this...)

We all know the guys that I am talking about
Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
And the only question's when they'll blow up
And they'll blow up, we know that without a doubt
Cause they're those guys, yeah you know those guys who let their emotions get the best of them.
And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow woman:
Let's get emotional guys to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
Cuz we'll know just what they're thinking
He's a good person but he doesn't always act that way
His mood's out swinging on the swingset almost everyday
He said to me that he's "so happy it's depressing"
And all I said was, "Someone, get that guy a mood ring!"
If it's drama you want, then look no further
He's like the real world meets Boy Meets World meets Days of Our Lives
And it just kills me how he gets away with murder
He'll anger you then hold you tight, hold you tight with all his might
He's a nice person but he doesn't always act that way
His mood's out swinging on the swingset almost everyday
He said to me that he's "so stressed out it's soothing"
And all I said was, "Someone, get that guy a mood ring!"
Cause when it's black means watch your back because you're probably
The last person in the world right now he wants to see
And when it's blue it means that you should call him up immediatelyand ask him out because he'll most likely agree
And when it's green it simply means that he is really stressed
And when it's clear it means he's completely emotionless
And that's alright, I must confess...
We all know the guys that I am talking about
He liked you Wednesday but now it's Friday
and he has to wash his car
And it just figures that we'll never figure them out
First he's Jekyll and then he's Hyde...at least he makes a lovely pair.
Mood ring, oh mood ring
Oh tell me, will you bring
the key to unlock this mystery
Of guys and their emotions
Play it back in slow motion
So I may understand the complex infrastructure known as the male mind...

how true. kudos to erika for working that hard.

STEPH

2007-02-21T20:37:00.000-06:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR STEPHANIE!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YU!!!

more bordom from me

2007-02-20T22:05:00.000-06:00

well i'm bored again...at least this time it's not because i can't sleep! thank goodness...nah i'm just bored because i don't really have anything to do. and yeah yeah it's 10pm and i COULD go to bed...but what's the fun in that? i'd much rather stay here and blog. haha we all just know i blog when i'm bored. which i am. hence the blogging. anyways. i don't really know what i want to say here. which is pretty much annoying me. i should go work on my prayer journal...considering i haven't started that yet. *gulp* oh well you can't totally blame me, i was gone for a while..haha. anyways. what y'all up to this weekend? my mom has company this weekend and my sisters have stuff up so i'm just basically waiting around for somebody to call me and say let's do something!! haha darn my daddy just said it was bedtime...guess that means i better go. talk to ya girlies later.

2007-02-19T19:51:00.000-06:00

haha erin you changed the top part again...lol it's pretty good haha love how only us 2 can do it lol

I'm Ba-ack!!

2007-02-19T19:46:00.000-06:00

hehe back from maui! idunno i don't really have a lot to say about it. you'll probably here me talk about it in person though eventually. but...i did buy...AN AMAZING DRESS THAT MAKES ME LOOK SO AWESOME!!! ok normally i don't "toot my own horn" pardon the expression but with this dress i just can't help it!! it is amazing, and i can't WAIT to wear it!!! somebody get married or something so i can wear it...

well not you guys...like an older person or something...gee don't think that guys!!! lol haha i know what y'all were thinking...anyways. awesome dress. definately.

ok yeah i'm done ranting and raving about the dress now. go back to your lives. haha lover y'all.

oh yeah...

I MISSED YOU ALL SO INCREDIBLY MUCH WHILE I WAS GONE YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!

oh yeah other thing. while i was gone this one day, i was writing in my journal, and all of the sudden i had this urge to pray for people. (more specifically a list of people that i had written down for other purposes). and it was kinda wierd. because it wasn't an "i should pray out of duty kind of thing" it was an i-need-to-pray-right-now feeling. kidna odd i know...but yeah so i did pray for everyone on that list, and in fact those prayers are written down. but just wanted to let you guys know that you were (obviously) on that list and that i was praying for you...and still am...always am...anyways. there now yuo can all feel special. because you definately are!! much ♥

feels a little bit like the death of a dream

2007-02-19T19:22:00.000-06:00

maybe i'm being dramatic
maybe i'm still kind of in shock.
maybe i don't know what to believe
maybe i don't know how to pray about this.
my coach for racquetball just dropped a bombshell on the people in my lessons and I. the club closed early today because of the whole family day thing; but the people in my lesson (most of which are on the national team or are by some other means gettting funding by racquetball canada) stayed after for pizza. we thought it was just a little break from the hard core training session we usually had. so anyway, we were all having fun but he and his wife and Roberto, my other fun coach, were all being a little quiet.
then he said he had something he needed to say. the club hasn't been making enough revenue to outweigh the expenses and he'd had many offers to sell it. and i guess, a little while ago, he sold it. we have until April and the new owners have agreed to let us practice up for nationals but i guess next year, we're all going to have to find somewhere else. we're probably going to set up at the Y.
it just... made me sad and disappointed. there's lot of memories and comfort in our old club. i'm still going to train and everything, it's just not going to be the same. there's not going to be the same members, the tournaments will be different, it's farther away from my house... just a whole bunch of little things that i'm really going to miss. and the little kids aren't going to come play and the older members are going to stop playing, and soon enough, there's going to be no one else except for our group. it feels like the death of the sport is practically imminent.
how sad is it that i'm crying over a building?
it just feels like i'm lossing my dream and there's nothing i can do. i mean, rac8ball is some of what really makes me me. i'm just disappointed, and i needed to write. i don't know what to pray for because i don't know what God wants from all of this.

Habitat For Humanity

2007-02-17T18:02:00.000-06:00

k, well, on my list one of the things to do is help build a house. and then i just read another Nicholas Sparks book, and the main girl in the story is working for habitat for humanity like every summer. i keep seeing ads for it, so i went on the website and, maybe not this summer or anything, but i was thinking i might want to join. but i don't want to go alone, so, now i'm kinda wondering if anyone is remotely interested.......

2007-02-12T12:20:00.000-06:00

heyy guys.. well last friday i asked my friend riley to come to youth group. he said okay, but then a few minutes later he said he couldn't cause he was having a sleepover with his friend brandon. He said but i'll make it up to u. I didn't think anything of it. Then yesterday my mom told me while i was at leons that there was a package dropped off for me by two boys. I was so confused and i asked her to open it. It was a big package of skittles from Riley with a note that said im soo sorry i couldn't come, i told u i'd make it up to u. I was like uh oh. I told leon or he more or less heard my mom talking to me on my cell. He thinks that Riley likes me. As much as i don't want it to be true i think it might be... Riley idirectly asked me out in grade 9 and hes one of those guys that can't take a hint at all. Oh and knows about leon, hes even met him. Its weird.. but yeah, any advice ladies??

first of all, the sponsor's costumes are pretty darn cute! who does mike think he is tho? he should be a sheep. how'd he get a main role like a wise man? assuming that's what he is.
what'd you guys get for the gift exchange? and i guess, from the gift exchange. did keith like his gift? that's what i'm kinda curious about.
my arm's dying! ahhh. i need my arm!! thankfully, we have a physiotherpist so, so far i've gotten three massages. woot. i've never had a professional massage before in my life. there so relaxing. the only thing that's kinda crappy is that i always have to take off my shirt. she covers the window with a towel and everything, but it'd still be horribly embarassing if a guy walked in with me just in my bra or something. i'm guessing you all agree.
i'm not playing today until 7;10. and then arg, i have to play at 9:10. if the draws are behind schedule, (which - in case you didn't know- would mean i'd be playing even later) i'm gonna be angry.
anyhoo. hugs and kisses.
wait, scratch the whole kisses thing, i lover you but... that's just a little too queer for me
HUGS.

2006-12-18T07:58:00.000-06:00

2006-12-11T13:42:00.000-06:00

heyyy guys...ok so obviously if you are reading this, you have read gracie's last post on here...cuz it's right below it...lol oh wow
anyways. ummm yeah i realize that i have probably seemed out of it and points this weekend...and i'm sorry, i'm not trying to put a damper on anything or rain on anybody's parade. life has just been kinda...interesting for me lately. and honestly i have been trying to hide the hard stuff and only show the good stuff, cuz...well that's what i do. not maybe the best method...but it's just my way usually. but in saying that...i'm not ready to come out and talk about what i'm thinking. i'm sorry. it's nothing personal, it's really not. cuz if i do tell people, you guys are among the first few to know. but i'm not ready to tell anyone yet. i'm not ready to be open right now. so i guess all i can really say is pray for me and give me a hug when you see me (erin, i'll settle for when you came back...but you gave me lots of hugs yesterday so it's all good)...it'll come out eventually. i'll break eventually. i always do. well most often. anyways. dont worry too much about me. i am mostly fine, and i will be fine. it's nothing really really major, i mean, it's not like i'm dying...don't fret it too much. don't lie awake at night trying to figure this out. say a prayer for me and get some sleep. it'll come out when i'm ready. like the picture says...the sun will come out tomorrow. i just don't know for sure when tomorrow will be here.

2006-11-28T19:10:00.000-06:00

k, well, this is kinda just cause i haven't posted in a while...
umm, k, well, it's been kinda busy, as usual, but i'm not gonna get into that. because lately to kinda keep myself sane i keep on having to remind myself of all the good things and blessings that have been happening.
did y'all know it was robyn's b-day like last week or something? and my other friend jaylin had her birthday on mon., katie made the b-ball team, jeff got asked to play at this fancy type party with some specific people selected by the teacher and he got all fancied up with a tie and everything. my friend, who quit r-ball, decided to come to the last tourny just to see us all again and see how we were doing and all that jazz. keith's musical is this weekend. Josh is getting baptized. millie's got a new crush on a guy from youth- but i'm not allowed to saying who. apparenty one of my best school friends came to youth last week with millie. i found out my teacher's a Christian and we had a little discussion that made me really think about some things. spencer and i are pretty tight right now. we all made it through that thing two sundays ago.
it's good to think about good things isn't it? tell me if there's anything i missed from you guys' lives...
oh that reminds me, i heard a rumor going around- you know spencer martenson? i heard next year he's going to go to the "soccer academy"aka- centennial. is what i'm guessing. i will confirm this rumor before y'all get too excited.
