I'm moving blog homes!

Hello my beauties! I have just created a new blog for you to follow! http://hernewhorizons.blogspot.com/. This blog is going to be (mainly) thoughts about the future, rants and descriptions about colleges I'll visit/attend, and more! I would appreciate if you followed :)

Random, Pointless Stuff

Hey people!

What a wonderful, lazy Saturday :) Right now I am sitting on a futon, drinking Coke, blogging, and watching my dad play Wii Sports Resort. Entertaining? Very much so.

A very exciting thing happened to me this week: I got all the bandages taken off of my nose!!! My doctor came into the room and said "OK, one more week with the bandages." And then he took the bandage off of my nose and said "I was just joking." and sent me on my way.

So now I just need the rest of the swelling to go down and the purple Sharpie circles to come off and I will be good :)

Other than that, I have had very few really exciting things happen to me. I got some sort of stomach bug on Thursday... but Friday I felt much better :)

Oh, and I went to a party last night and we played Mafia. My brother and I were both Mafias. I ended up winning. It was pretty awesome. ;)

Anyways, that is all that is really new... I hope that you guys have had an awesome week :)

Surgery, Winter Jam, and Follow Me Please!

Hey guys!

Yeah yeah yeah. I am perfectly aware that it has been awhile since I have posted anything. So sorry! Life has been crazy.

So, just in case you are curious, the surgery went well. I was so out of it for the first few days but today my mother assigned me some school to do so, obviously, she thinks I am getting well enough to do that sort of stuff. Ah well. Anyways, if you don't mind, please pray for me as I continue to heal. Thanks so much :D

So, I was looking back at some of my older blog posts. I read the post about how I was upset about missing Winter Jam. Guess what? I am having a repeat of last year. I will not be able to go to Winter Jam this year either. I have been ordered by my doctors not to go anywhere where I am in danger of hitting my nose. Yeah I know, I am at risk to get my nose hit everywhere I go, but a concert is a HUGE no-no. Even if I don't plan to be a part of a mosh pit or anything like that. *sigh* Life does not seem fair sometimes. But I guess that is how the cookie crumbles...

On to a lighter subject, if you wish to hear more from me, follow my dailybooth, twitter, or tumblr. Also, ask me something on my formspring! Here are the links-

Criminal Minds and Tweeting....

Hey peeps!

I know, it has been far too long since I have written. So sorry! Life has been like it always has: busy! But, I am proud to say, I am not supposed to be writing a paper for lit right now :)

One thing I have recently been hooked on is the TV show Criminal Minds. I was bored one day at my grandmother's house and discovered Season 1 of this crime show on DVD in one of her cabinets. So, curiosity got the best of me. I popped in the first disc and from that moment, I was hooked. I am now halfway through season 2 and am loving it.

I do have to admit though, watching these crime shows is making me a bit paranoid! Haha.

To explain about the title of my last post: My brother and I were chatting about how Santa can't live as long as everyone believes he has. He just does what the Dread Pirate Roberts (Princess Bride reference) does: elect a new Santa and hire new elves every time he wants to retire. He calls the new jolly old man "Santa" for a while then goes into retirement, leaving the new 'Santa' to make all the good girls and boys happy until HE wants to retire. And so on....

Hey, you never know.

Anyway, I am going into surgery on the 24th of February. Please be praying it goes well!

I hope to have a new blog post up soon!

Oh! and BTW.... I got a twitter! Follow me if you wish! :)

Love you guys!

"Santa is like the Dread Pirate Roberts"

Hey guys!

I'm laughing inwardly right now. It seems that the only time that I write a new blog post is when I am supposed to be working on a Lit paper. Hehe

Thanksgiving was wonderful as usual. The food was amazing and, of course, there was enough leftovers to last us until Christmas. I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for a little while. My parents made me turn the TV off because I was critiquing every singer though. Haha.

I do believe that I would make a great American Idol judge.

I am going to see New Moon with one of my friends soon. She has to finish reading the books first haha. Twilight is NOT my favorite series by far, but I want to see the movie. :)

As for the title of this post, I'll let you figure it out yourself. :) I will explain it in my next post if I remember.

Sorry this post was so short and scattered today! I will try to write more later!

"If it was a dream, there would be rum."

Hey guys! How was your Halloween? Mine was pretty good! *points to the title of post* Do ya know what movie that quotation is from? If you don't, you are really missing out. And that's saying it nicely. That quotation is from Pirates of the Caribbean. The reason that it is the title of this post is because of all the pirates I saw running around yesterday during my church's fall festival. But the #1 pirate costume that I saw belonged to one of my friends. He came as Jack Sparrow. He had the medallion, the compass, the rings, the whole shebang. It was pretty awesome.

Haha I really want to watch Pirates of the Caribbean again now....

Anywho, I didn't get any candy because I was working. But working was fun so I'm not complaining. Much. Haha. I loved seeing all the kid's costumes. Some of them were so creative!

Sorry this post is so short! I gotta finish my lit paper for tomorrow. Thankfully, it is a really easy paper to write haha ;)

Have a great week guys! God bless!

America, London, and Catching Up.

Heyyyy Peeps!

Sorry I haven't written in so long.... Life has been crazy! So I'll catch you up in a minute

But first.....

Do any of you guys have Qubo on your TV? Man, it's like America's biggest marketing scam in the history of all mankind. OK, maybe that's a little over the top. But really, my sister watches it 24/7 when she is not playing or doing schoolwork. Anywho, half of that station is commercials for stuff that will "make your life easier" and all that Jazz. Like the Snuggie. What the heck? It really is not that hard to reach over and grab a remote or something. Your arm will not freeze in that short amount of time. I promise.

Sigh.....

So anyway... Since I last wrote, we have moved into our new house. It's really nice and all but I have to share half my bathroom with my little sister. We have one of those bathrooms that we get our own sink areas but we have to share the shower and all that. Don't get me wrong, it's much better than sharing a bathroom with my brother but still.... she's 7.

Yeah.

Summer went by in a blur. What with camp, a mission trip, and VBS. Man, they were interesting. I'll just give you the highlights. Camp was pretty amazing. I barely got sunburned (which is a huge accomplishment for me) and all the sermons were amazing. The mission trip was also amazing. We went to this little town up in Ohio. Now, let me just stop right here and tell you that I am from the South and we have as many churches as Walgreens and a lot of those are Baptist churches. The further you travel up north, however, you see fewer and fewer churches and almost none of them are Baptist. So recently, a few families went up to this little town and started a church up there. So we went there and helped with their VBS. In short, we prayer walked in the mornings/afternoons and helped with VBS in the evenings. We went to their service on Sunday morning and they were nice enough to try to make good southern sweet tea. I was really sad to leave. VBS was... *cough* great. I did puppets. I won't go into details, but there was so much drama behind the puppet stage that I was about to scream at the end of the week. But other than that, it was great.

And I almost forgot! You probably want to hear about London!

London was AMAZING! I mean, America seems old to me but London was so much older! It blew me away! We went to Stonehenge, Buckingham, Westminster, St. Paul's, and so much more! I'm pretty sure I could live there. I love the food and the accents and, most of all, the history! I could go on and on and on but I won't. Maybe next blog post :).

So, I went on a "camp out" with my Church youth group about 2 weeks ago. I slept in a cabin. Haha yeah, really roughing it! Anyway, it was really fun. There was no light pollution out there. I mean none. Zip. Zippo. Etc.... So I could see so many stars! It was so beautiful! Haha I seem like such a city chick now.... anyway, the next day we were all really tired so we were doing stupid stuff. Like rolling down a hill in a big plastic pipe. It was pretty awesome. I was so sore the next day though. ;)

I also went to the Casting Crowns concert. It was amazing! The church that it was at was filled to the brim! I really can't describe it. It was just so amazing. Oh, and I saw a guy that looked like a pirate there. No joke.


I have also read the Harry Potter and Twilight series. All I can say about Twilight is that it def. was not my favorite book. But I read the Harry Potter series twice and have watched all the movies except the Half-Blood Prince. They are pretty good. :)

So, now we are back to the present. I am studying the book of Proverbs for my devos. That is one amazing book. Read it. You know you want to.

And Halloween..... I have no idea what I am going to dress up as. Hum. I know that I am going to work at my church's Fall Festival though. Fun stuff.

So now you are all up to date. Thanks for waiting for me! haha
Love you guys and God bless!
