Oh. My. Gosh. That is not fair!!! I was playing on the Sims 2, and my Sim, Mark Martin, is an astronaut. This thing popped up saying he could explore the ocean floor, or explore Venus. So, naturally, I said explore Venus. But then his ship crashed, AND HE GOT FIRED!!!! That is not fair!!!

So i had to quit the game without saving. And that was not cool.

Ha funny.



Great.

I have to sit next to Josh in math, and Michael sits across the room. He came over to my desk to talk to me, and flipped my binder around to where this blog address was (i realized a day after writing that there that that was not the smartest thing to do, given the Josh/Colton situation). He(michael)'s like, "This is Steph's blog address."

Real smooth, Michael. Real smooth. Now Josh (and possibly Colton) has access to my brain. Lovely.

......pishhhhh....nyurgle.....

My watercolor fish made it into the district art show!!! Isn't that cool? It got an honorable mention.

SPRING FLING!!!

This weekend I went to Spring Fling at Young Life Ranch (Bueno Vista) with my youth group (or at least the middle school). IT WAS AMAZING!!! We had awesome worship music, good food (Brian our youth leader sucked a peice of spagettii up his nose and out through his mouth! It was so cool!), and CRUD WARS!!!

We split up into groups for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Then they brought out large trashcans full of instant mashed potatoes. They blew a whistle and we ran like heck to grab handfuls of it and chuck it at our friends!!! It was so fun!!!
It gets messier...
Then they brought out trashcans full of moist, soggy, soft, dog food. It smelled so gross. And we got to chuck that at other people too!!! And then some got on my glasses, and i almost heaved (it smelled worse than crap left in the sun).
And it gets even messier...
Then we got to slather each other in shaving cream!!! Caleb made an awesome mowhawk with it.

Then it took about an hour to clean up.
But if you're Christian, and you live in Denver, you should totally talk your youth group into going because it is so flipping awesome!!

Everyone Like Me, by Thousand Foot Krutch

I’ve got a lot goin’ on inside,
Don’t know if I can work things out this time,
I need a little space to clear my mind,
But I’ll be fine.
Don’t slip, it’s not always this cold,
I’m tired of acting like I know,
Am I searching for the answers,
No one knows?
And I must confess,
Before I take another step that

This song’s for everyone like me,
Everyone not afraid to stand alone and lonely
Can you identify with me?
This song’s for everyone like you,
Come and ride with me,
We will not back down.

Wait, it might not be too late,
To avoid the tension we create,
How about I turn and walk away?
No matter what you say,
It’s not a combination,
I’ve tried to figure you out,
I’m lookin’ for a confirmation,
So I can turn this around.
And I must confess,
Before I take another step that

This song’s for everyone like me,
Everyone not afraid to stand alone and lonely
Can you identify with me?
This song’s for everyone like you,
Come and ride with me,
We will not back down.

Every time I turn around,
You’re looking for attention,
You’ve taken all the things I’ve said,
And thrown them away,
Drank them away,
And every time you show up late,
You’re looking for forgiveness.
I must confess,
Before I take another step that

This song’s for anyone who ever took a chance,
Who started out at the bottom to get to the top,
And no matter what you face in this life
You gotta know what you’re up against,
In order to fight back.

This song’s for everyone like me,
Everyone not afraid to stand alone and lonely
Can you identify with me?
This song’s for everyone like you,
Come and ride with me,
We will not back down.

This song’s for everyone like me,
Everyone not afraid to stand alone and lonely, and lonely

If I don't like M&M's...does that make me weird?

Yeah, you got me right. I do not like M&M's!!! They smell gross, they taste even worse, and they come in colors like yellow. Who eats yellow chocolate?? Not me anyway...

I finally correctly learned my kata, Haein Godan. Apparently I was doing it wrong.

I finished Eclipse in three days.

I feel like writing another novel, but i don't have enough time to do it! I wish i did because i have a really good idea for one!!! It goes along the lines of "somebody got shot and i'm following their best friend after they die". Michael is calling me an emo because i wrote a section and it was apparently really sad.

I love having the ability to trigger emotions in people when i write! It's really fun! :D

NYURG!! I forgot what i was going to say!!!

Oh, yeah! Michael ditched class because he was tired after texting my best friend, Ruby, until twelve.

?????? hello??????? she's my best friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just figured out Indescribable (by Chris Tomlin) on the piano. I have this freakishly cool gift of sounding things out on the piano. I figured out Stand in the Rain (by Superchic[k]). It is sooooo cool!
When i was in second or third grade (and obsessed with horses [what little girl wasn't? *neigh*]) i figured out the theme from Spirit on the piano.

Ohmygosh have you guys seen Mr. Bean's Holiday??? It is soooooo funny!!!!

My weekend in a nutshell. [emphesis on nut]
