Rambling

Well I think I need a new post, but I don't have anything to say, really. In conclusion, I'm going to ramble and see how long it takes before my audience of one falls asleep. Maybe I'll even add some pictures, for visual interest.

I guess I'm kind of tired today. And sore. Volleyball camp started Moday {yes, I meant Moday}. It's not an official camp. It's just my school peeps who rent this grody, smelly old gym and go there for three hours each day for a week. The gym wasn't bad this year. {It's the same gym as always, but cleaner (as in the crusty couches, old chairs, furniture that no one else wanted, stage, and buckets of cockroaches were completely gone) and they have AC now! Woop Woop!} Hm...*going to find picture of volleyball* {Did anyone else notice the ( ) inside the { } ? }

And um...that's really fun. Also, I spent Moday and Tueday with Marial and spent the night...so if you emailed me or something and I didn't respond, that's why. Oh! Chair!! SHE HAS A SNAKE NAMED TODD! I LOVE TODD!!! I should make that a t-shirt...in fact...

There. Isn't that cool? Ok. Mo {moving on}. *making popping sound* Um...so....when I get really bored, I either say nothing and get really lazy...or if no one talks to me, I get like...serious...and think about stuff {I don't think normally...} ORRR sometimes, if I've had some sugar or something, I blurt out random phrases. I'm not really sure what kind of mood I'm in now...I'm tired and sore...I want another volleyball massage. Those are fun and feel really good. We do that at the end of practice.

I wonder what it would sound like if a sleeptalker was sore. ... "Ouch! *snore* Ouch! *snore* OH, MY LEGS! *yawn*" Ok...well...that's what you get for wanting a new post when I have nothing to say. Complete randomings. I think I've perfected the art of randoming. Maybe it's a mental condition. I've trained my brain to jump from subject to subject. Which is sometimes good, when you want to think of something un-complicated, or if you're lazy and don't want to think at all. On the trip, I was doing these little journally thingies, and one time I rambled for like ten pages.

Well....I think it's nap time...or chill time....or relax time...or sit-on-the-couch-and-wait-till-you-fall-asleep-or-something-interesting-happens time. Actually, I think that whenever you're waiting for something unexpected to happen....it doesn't...cuz you're expecting it...it's the days when you're not aware of anything that something happens, but only sometimes, because sometimes in the back of your mind, you're still expecting the unexpected, which makes it a least-likely-for-something-to-happen day. *yawning* Well, if you can figure that out, you must be a genius. I myself can't remember what I did five minutes ago. Give yourself a pat on the back. Ciao and have good days, everybody!

PS. OH!!!! Will and Chair, I found these really cool pics of when we were cute {a looong time ago}. Can I post them? I'll email them to you first, if you want.

Bible Verse tag {Short Version}

Mommy tagged everyone who read her blog to blog about favorite Bible verses and blessings. ... That made me think way too hard, but here it is. I think all the verses in the Bible are good ones. ... But someone might consider that cheating...so here's a few recent favorites...

Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

This verse is my favorite now, because it's something I've come to realize this past year and plan to use this coming year {talking in school years}. More recent favorites are:

Psalm 139: 14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

1 Peter 1:6-7
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed

So...those are my recent favorite verses. They've encouraged me a lot. Now...on to blessings... I can't even count that high! Last night, I was thinking about this, and I started writing, and I wrote for like an hour and eighteen minutes. And I barely even started on blessings. I mean, it's hard to express like HOW MUCH I've been blessed. I realized that, and it made me love God even more. Thanks, mom...that was a good post...it made me think really hard, and I needed that.

Well...I guess if I had to name a few, I would say friends, family, church, and school. My family is always supportive of everything I do, and I know I can always ask them for advice or if I just need someone to listen. And my friends...are...awesome.... like.... God has blessed me with really, really, good friends! Again, I'm not able to express the awesomeness of what He has given me. My church is where I've been going most of my life. I've never been to any other church but Covenant {minus churches on vacations and stuff like that}, and I'm sooo glad I'm still there. My school is also awesome. The environment there, of Christian teachers and students...even the curriculum...it's really good. Huuuge blessing. I love my class. We're like one big family, even if we do fight sometimes.

So...I think that's it. Once again, thank you mom ~ I needed to think...haven't been doing that in a while. And, since this is a tag, I guess I tag everyone who reads this. I know Render and Will have already done it...y'all can post it on your blog or re-do comments here. Or not. You choice. So everyone {anyone} else who reads this...go blog! ... wow ... I didn't ramble nearly as much as I thought I would.

More pictwas!

...Yes, I know I spelled "pictures" like a French person. Don't hurt me. Anyway, here are some more pics from our trip:

That's the cabin view...did I show you that already? Who cares. See it again.

This is a building shaped like a corn cob in Chicago...we took a architechtural tour thingie.

Here are a bunch of fireworks! {And no Snailiens; camera mysteriously stopped working when we saw the space ship...}

That one is my favorite... Shiny!!

These are the boats at the Yacht club where we saw fireworks with my Aunt and her boss {and fam}.

This is a view of a um...building....through the ships...I think that building is significant somehow...but I can't remember why...maybe it's the state capital....*blink; shrug* Short term memory loss...I've no idea. Sorry. MO {moving on}.

And that mysteriously wonderful bright glowing light is called a candle. :) I love that picture! FIIIREEEE! Ok, enough of that...I hope you liked the pics. :D Leave comments, but don't go crazy on me. *stern look* Oh, who am I kidding? Getting 100 comments was crazy! I've never gotten that much before! Kudos to all who commented {which automatically excludes the Kidds (sorry guys) but we love them anyway ;)}.

We're baaaackkkkk

We're baaaaccckkkk! *cue Phsycho music*

Miss us?

Well, let me see, in summary, we went to Minnesota, Chicago and Evanston Illinois, and Jackson Mississippi. Highlights of the trip include the ride at Mall of America, meeting up with some old friends twice {in MI and MA}, and seeing the Blue Man Group. That was...really...coll...weird...interesting....it's really hard to describe but I liked it a lot.

Hm....any other news...? Oh! It's almost halfway through JULY!!! AHHHH! *runs around, screaming and hyperventilating* I can't believe it! Where did summer go?! I think it's hiding. Ooh! It must be in my top bunk! It shan't be lost for long! *sends one of personalities to go and find the lost summer*

Hm...other news...? I don't think so... The Moonarrows are back....but y'all knew that. And um... hm ... OH! OH! OH! I got Dragonlight! *proud look* and I'm on Chapter....um....thirty something....


Ok, ciao and have good days!

The Snailiens are coming, the Snailiens are coming!

Ohmygoodness, you guys!! Stay in your houses, lock your windows, and watch your pets for suspicious activites; the snailiens are coming!! Ohmygoodness...ok, so this is what happened: In Chicago, we were watching fireworks go off for like a pre-fourth celebration or something. My friend, *trying to remember code name* Selena Clous and I looked up, and through the fireworks we saw the blinking light of a space craft. We were like, "Hey, that's shaped kind of funny for an airplane..." so we took out our cameras to see if we could zoom, AND THEY STOPPED WORKING! They got low on battery! But then, once the ship shrank from sight, THEY WERE FULL BATTERY!!!! AHHHH! Creepy, huh? The snailiens don't want any proof of their existance....that's why I'm writing this down...if I die tomorrow and no one ever reads this...it's because I knew too much.

So, once the fire works were over, we started brainstorming {and having a great time while we were at it, too} and we came up with a whole species of aliens called "snailiens" that need our planet for a stone to play hopscotch. They look kind of like snake-snail-aliens {I'll post a pic once I get home, but for now I'll try my hand at paint...} and their shells can open up and engulfe their victims, which consist of pets that they steal the bodies of afterward. But it doesn't stop there! After they're stolen a body, they need human blood to retain its form!! *slightly disturbed look* The only hope we have of stopping their brussel-sprout cannon and anti-battery space ship attack is HOSPITAL GOWNS {no one likes those, anyway}. Join with me in the rally of these hated pieces of clothes, to destroy the snailiens from taking over on our freedom day!!!!

Hopefully I won't wake up tomorrow with anmesia and no proof that this actually happened...
