Utah

Well.

As you can see, I have no will power to blog more than 2 days straight, so here is all of the highlights of my Utah trip:

• Especially for Youth. It was an amazing experience. Definitely want to go back.
• My sister Kaitlin's graduation. Congratz. :)
• Jump on It, part 2.

haha well, there was more, but I really can't think. So here is another really short post. More is coming.

Bellevue School District Strike Day Number: 30

Okay, maybe I am over-exaggerating a teeny bit. But it sure feels that way. I am honestly so over this whole strike thing. The school district said that they want to see all of the students in classrooms, but are "unwilling to compromise your education by giving in to the current offer."

um... i don't know about you, but my B.S. radar is spiking.

what they really are saying is... "we want to get you in school, but we want more money."

screw money. give me more than 6 weeks of fun in the sun.
please?

The Dawn is Breaking

WARNING!! SPOILERS ARE AHEAD!

So, let's just say that one of the reasons I went down to Utah was for the Breaking Dawn release party in Provo/Orem. Let's just say, one of the most crazy experiences EVER. Well, maybe not that crazy, but uhh... it was intense.
So that whole day we had been on the road, driving from Boise to Provo which is about a 6 or 7 hour drive. Ew. Anyways we gt in to Twilight mood of course... by listening to Twilight on tape. MY mom had never read the books so we got her to read Twilight. But, the mission to have all of the Dew ladies in love with the books, failed. Mother was not obsessed. Sad.
So finally, we got there and dinked around for a couple of hours because the part didnt start until like 9:30 or 10 anyways. We decided to make some sweet shirts, so we could win the contest. And I must say, our shirts were AWESOME! Here, take a look:
Kaitlin: Pale is the new Black(front) Vampires SUCK [in a good way] (back)

Melissa: ...And a HOT place

Brynn: STUCK between a rock...

So mine and Melissa's shirts go together so it would be stuck between a rock and a hot place. Clever, huh? So it's like stuck between Edward and Jacob. Don't you just love Melissa's fur collar? Mine had rhinestones all over it. Pretty sweet, huh?
So we got there finally after scrambling to get our shirts done and let's just say, it was a mad house in there. Let's just say there are SO many Twilight crazies there... WOW.
But the sucky part was that we didn't even win the contest! Some dumb girl dressed up as Alice and her shirt said, "I already know what happens". Seriously? Whatever, I'm over it.
So...fast forward through all of the waiting/ANNOYING Harry Potter fans behind us being dumb dumbs, going to Smiths and getting energy drinks and cookie dough, and finally getting into comfy clothes, we opened the book and started reading.

SPOILERS NOW!!!!!

Okay, so after reading the book the first time, I kind of actually didn't like it. Which is so surprising to me since I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Stephenie's books and writing. I was like... what?... through the entire book. I thought that it could not be possible that I wouldn't like this book. I mean, I have been waiting for this book for like... ever.
So, since I am kind of stubborn and I force myself to do a lot of things, I took to re-reading the book a second time. And honestly, I really do kind of love it now. And no, I did not force myself to love it. I only have a couple of problems with it.

1. Okay, so I was so pumped for someone to die. But no one did. Except for Irina. That one was gay. No one knew her really, so why even put her in? And then kill her. Seriously, grow some, Stephenie and kill Jasper. Just kidding, don't kill him. I love him. Maybe Renee or Sam or something.
   
2. Speaking of Renee.... Reneesme? WHAT?! Is that a serious name? Or is she/Bella on serious heavy duty crack? I really do hate that name. Like Russia hates Georgia. I say ReNOsme.
3. I kind of hate the whole part where Paul imprinted on Rebecca. No, Paul needs to end up alone or until he gets into some serious anger management classes.
4. I wanted Leah to imprint on someone! Why is she alone and Paul with Jacob's sister?
5. The Romanian vampires. ... yeah they just kind of creep me out. I wish the Volturi would have killed them or something.
   
6. I thought it was weird that Jessica and Mike still ended up together. Why that bothers me... I don't have a sure answer, but I just don't know about that.
   
7. Bella being preggo was beyond weird. It brought weird images to my mind. Plus sometimes it was over the top how she would like, drink blood. EW. SO. GROSS. Plus, she hated blood. And I hate when it described her belly. Can you say, T.M.I?

Other thoughts? Yes:

1. Bella turning into a vampire... loved it. Her power? Not so much. I wanted her to be like... Super Vampire. Like... be able to have every power, you know? Well, maybe I'll save that for my power when I turn into a vampire. And it will happen, trust me.
   
2. Reneesme's power. Pretty sweet. But she is pretty lazy for a vampire. "Oh, I don't feel like speaking" and smacks her little hand on your face. Mmm, I'm pretty sure if I could talk when I was a couple of months old, I would totally talk all the time.
3. Jacob becoming an Alpha. SO HOT. Like, if I could, I would seriously ask him to love me.
   
4. I LOVE SETH CLEARWATER! He is so cute.
5. I can't believe I am saying this, but I kind of hated Alice for leaving. I'm sorry, Alice. I still totally love you.
6. I really like how Stephenie split the book in three books.
   
7. I love Jacob's book chapter titles. Like a lot. Life sucks, and then you die. Brilliant.
   
8. I freaking love Emmett Cullen. He was so funny in this book.

So, I guess that's it. If I have more, i'll make another post.

could it be...?

YES IT IS!

it's a new update! Woohoo! Aren't you proud of me? Well, I am proud of myself. 

but ANYWAYS....

It's now the middle of August, which is awesome. But that means schools starts in like... 2 weeks. Whoa, that hit me hard. So weird that I am now going to high school, but I am so excited. This summer I have been pretty busy, with being home for a week and a half total in the month of July and still haven't been him since the start of August, because I went to the Breaking Dawn opening premiere party in Provo(Orem, if you know where that is), which was CRAZY!!! But I will have more of my adventures in Utah in later blogs, which I PROMISE I will get to as soon as I can. I also spent a week on the beautiful BYU campus to go to EFY. Again, awesome. And then from that I have been kickin' it with Matt and Kaitlin until Kaitlin's graduation from college. 

Well, that was a brief update on why I have been on blog hiatus, so see everyone later!

Summer Days, Drifting Away

Well, it seems like no one even really cares that I haven't been making any new posts.

Tear, :'( 

So, here is what I have been up to so far this summer:

• I went on my family reunion in Texas. So much fun to see all of my cousins and family on my Dad's side. The weather was so hot and humid, but not as bad as I thought it would be. There, we went to the nation's largest water park, Shlitterbaun (yes, that is the real name of the water park. I thought it was a joke), went out on Lake Austin on the 4th of July, and ate some real Texas barbeque. If you ever get a chance to go down to Texas, look for a Rudy's. Some of THE best food I have ever eaten. 
• Natalie came home and now we are sharing my bedroom. It's nice to have her home again.
• I have literally been counting the days until Breaking Dawn comes out (16!!!!). And to keep me busy and in the Twilight frame of mind, I have been re-reading all of the books and associating with everything Twilight. Like, did you know that there is going to be a Twilight encyclopedia-type-thing? SO EXCITED FOR THAT!
• hanging out with friends, going swimming, shopping... all of that summer stuff.

So that's it. My exciting summer... isn't really happening.

First Days Of Summer

Yikes! I haven't posted in FOREVER! I will become much more better in the coming months since I am officially OUT of middle school and going into HIGH SCHOOL! I am so ecstatic I can barely breathe. But quite a few things have happened while I have been away...

First and foremost, I ACHIEVE PRESIDENTIAL FITNESS! I know, I can barely believe it myself. But I made it with a 7:11 mile. wow.

Second, I spent my last couple of days of middle school looking forward to Thursday, and not just because I got out of school that day... :D Let's just say I was going to see a certain someone at a picnic... but more of that later. I signed yearbooks, said my goodbyes to all of my underclassmen friends, and all of that good stuff with no real reason to feel sad not to come back. It wasn't a real end, just a beginning (I know, SO CHEESY). The yearbooks that I helped create were a real success and were AH-DORED by basically the whole student body, which put me in a pretty good mood when they came out.

Third, it was finally Eighth grade Graduation(recognition as all of my teachers said). It was nice to be honored in all of my achievements. Drama, Presidential Fitness, Social Studies, World Language, and WEB were just a few of them. It wasn't as sad as i  thought, until I got back into the small gym where my purse was. Someone during the ceremony had snuck in and took my phone and the girls that was next to mine. Which was a total bummer, because even though my phone was literally worth about 10 cents, I still practically LIVED off of it, so it was hard to cope with for a few days. But life went on.

Fourth, the Picnic. Oh my goodness, SO MUCH FUN! It was basically 4 hours of hanging out with my Odle friends that I haven't seen in a while. Which meant I saw the boy that I liked. :D so awesome. Kaitlin and Natalie, you would approve. He  is VERY cute. :)

Next was the 8th grade party put on by the PTSA at Highland. It was a night full of dancing and again hanging out with my friends. But this time, I cried because one of my really good friends is going to Skyline next year, so we had a good crying session and I had at least 20 people come up and ask if I was okay. OBVIOUSLY, if I am crying, I'm not. But, we all said our goodbyes and dried our tears so we could have fun.

Then, there was the CAMP ROCK premiere party at my house. It was ROCKIN. haha. It was a lot better than i had anticipated. But I had really low expectations so... But it's fine. For sure won't win any Oscars. :)

And last and certainly not least, I got a new phone to replace my old one. YAY! It is the same number and everything, which is nice. It is a purple Nokia 5310 XpressMusic. SO CUTE!

So that is basically it. 

I will update more tomorrow!

PEACE AND LOVE!

Final...s

I am so excited.

For one thing, there are only 8 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT! I almost can't believe it. But, I really hate middle school so I am glad to be out of it. I honestly don't feel at all sad because I will see everyone next year. 

But, this also brings up finals, which I have in almost every class except English and T.A. Yes, even in P.E. And what would a P.E. final consist of? Well, fitness tests. Sit ups, push ups, sit and reach, mile run, shuttle run, and pacer. Let's just say, I have officially reached Presidential Fitness in every category...! Except the mile run. The time I have to get is 7:59, and my time is 8:59. Impossible.

So, now I must resort to cheating if I have any prayer of making it.

Awesome.
