Where I'm lost right now: Carbondale, IL
The song stuck in my head right now: Goodbye Earl - The Dixie Chicks

Friday, the 15th: I flew to Cary for a graduation party for all the graduates in the church. I went early 'cause they were having paint-ball, it was really fun, but I got bruised up a little. I've got one really bad on my arm, and about 5 on my legs... only the one on my arm, and two on my leg are still looking bad. One of them on my leg looks like the bad part of a banana, LOL!
There was more stuff, but it was just dancing (we should not be aloud to dance anymore... I think we might have hurt someone :P) and Volleyball (that was interesting... Mr. Rench and I were out to get each other! (he's the dad of some of my friends in church, he's like 48 or something, LOL)

Then Jules and I went to Jake and Rita's (where I am now, writing this), we're having a great time... here's some pictures of some of the things we've done;

Me in Jake and Rita's living-room! (It's not messy, my bag and clothes make it look messy :P) And that's Caleb Whear sitting on the couch, he's cool.

The coolest park ever! Really, if you ever come to Carbondale, you have to go there, it was so much fun to play tag/hide-and-go-seek in that thing!

We went swimming at the Whites Lake! It was quite fun (after I got over the idea of swimming in water that had lots of stuff floating in it!) And I even dove off that diving board you see Matt on! And did a front flip off it too!

Rita taking pictures... I remember thinking "Not a picture now!" but she still got it before I could say it :( :P

And I'll post more when I get home next week... Later!

On a side not: Is it odd that I answer the phone (or at least my cell) by saying "Yo"?

I've found out I have to clean when I get mad, or annoyed... it's weird. Right now, I'm cleaning up the foyer because I just got really annoyed that the younger kids are allowed to get away with a ton more then we were, and our parents are just fine with it... Uggg! I have to go clean.

Where I'm lost right now: Not with you, that's for sure!
The song stuck in my head right now: Boston - Augustana

Tags: memorial gardens , opera

So I feel pretty good! My ankle has stopped hurting since I hurt it 2 weeks ago... I went for a run today and didn't have any problems! I love running, I ran for over 2 1/2 miles, then worked out for about 30 minutes... so I did about an hour of good exercise :D Great fun!

Yesterday, we went and saw The Pirates of Penzances. It was funny. I liked the father best. His song about being a modern major general was stuck in my head for the rest of the night.
Brandee and Stacie were just too much fun to sit next to, Brandee kept making this weird laugh that sounded like someone almost crying (On purpose). Then she'd just break out in laughter at random points... the whole time Stacie helping her along with all this by adding in her own odd things. Comments about the cast, things like He's so not 21, liar! And then she'd tap along to the songs with her feet and we could all hear her... I did a little too but her shoes made more noise than mine.

Oh, about a week ago the girls, dad and I went to the Memorial Gardens here in Concord. Jules took most of these pictures...

Tags: weekend at the duncans

This Friday was the a bowling night with the teens with our church, so since it was in Cary this family with 4 boys and 1 girl, the Duncans, have been trying to have me over for a weekend for some time, they offered to have me stay with them.

Bowling: I love bowling, it's so much fun! The last time I bowled was almost a year ago at Tyler's birth party, and then I bowled like 120-130. So I thought I'd do pretty well, but I didn't :P On my first shot I fell and dropped the ball in the gutter! It got a little better from there, but I still only scored 57... yeah, bad. But I had a grand time laughing about it with Zach, David, Lesley and Micki. Lesley somehow scored 114! And she said she wasn't any good! (we won't talk about what Micky got, her granddad owned a bowling ally, so she was good.)
Second game was much better, I got 96. Lesley on the other hand got 45!!! She couldn't stop laughing for about 5 minutes because of her own scored while we mocked her.
Jules, Bekah, David, Zack, and Jessica were playing on a their own lane, but Zack and David liked mocking me, so they stayed at our lane... they kept taking my seat. I was sad :P

The Duncan's: Almost as soon as I got to their house David was like "Lets see how much he can bench." I wasn't sure what to think of this, but Zack explained that David likes to try and out bench anyone that comes over. I was able to do 160 once, but David could do 165, twice. He's 14, BTW :P But at least I beat Zack and Daniel, 15 and 14. They could only do 155 with a little help. I need to work out more :P
( OOOOOOOOOO, Pick me! Pick me! )

Where I'm lost right now: I will be on the couch in a minute...
How I feel today:

sleepy
The song stuck in my head right now: Flathead - The Fratellis

Heya everyone that reads my journal! Well really I should of said "Hi one person that reads my journal!", but I'm imagining that more then one person reads it ;P

I know it's been quite some time sense I've posted, but really there's not been much I should post about... I mean, I'm only graduating! That's nothing, just normal everyday stuff. (Gosh, if I'd known it'd be such a pain to have a freakin' graduation, I'd have just not had one!) I'm having to think about what I want to do after school, college or not, what do I want to do for the rest of my life... you know, the normal stuff.

That's pretty much it. If you care to know what I'm thinking I want to do for a living just ask, I'll tell. I just don't feel like typing the reasons right now.

Now some random pictures!

I was bored while mom was telling us what we had happening the next day on wednesday. So I took a marker from Zeke and started drawing.

Family and friends at Erin and Danelle's 21st birthday party!

The kids were sword fighting and I had to walk through, I got cut up!

It was a 21st birthday party, gotta get my "crunk" on! ;) (Ty and Tay will get that, sorry to the rest of you!)

Amy took a pic of Tyler this close, then one of me... I hate smiling in pictures, I think I look really weird. I'll take a smiling one later.

From left: Jules up high, Tyler with the phone, Taylor with the tongue, Me in the green, Bethany in the pink jacket, Grace in the black shirt, and then at the Piano; Mitch, and Cindy!

Ok, so I'm sleepy now, so this is all for now. I've gotta get up at like 8:30 to go with Ty and Tay to their grandmothers to clean the attic (I want to hang out with them! And their gran is funny!)

My stupid little sister (Bethany) got up at 5 to see the snow, and woke me up at 6 FREAKING O'CLOCK! <----evil hour! She was trying to wake Zeke up and instead woke me up cause she was jumping on my bed and telling Zeke to look at the snow. So sleepy!

But I'm loving the snow, and I got hit with 5 snowballs before 7:30! Two in the face, but I still had a blast, and still am!

Now quit playing on your comp and go play in the SNOW! (If it's snowing where you are, LOL!)

How I feel today:

Last year I got a speeding ticket on christmas eve on the way home from church, then this year the front right tire of the van (same car I was driving last year) broke while driving to church! It's something about the "a-frame" like snaped or something, gonna be a lot of money to fix, so it sucks. Happy Christmas.

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In January I turned

ladyrita in for spitting (3 points). In April I gave

sirjake a kidney (1000 points). Last month I ate my brussel sprouts (1 points). Last Tuesday I stole

mawwa's purse (-30 points). Last Saturday I pulled over and changed

erinjade86's flat tire (15 points).

Overall, I've been nice (989 points). For Christmas I deserve a Nintendo Wii!

Sincerely,
luketa418

...odd things: I did change Erin's flat tire last saturday, and Jake really could take a one of my kidney's if needed, he's my older brother :P That's really odd that it picked those two for those things out of all my friends. Freaky.

Dec. 16th, 2006 @ 12:10 am Ipods scare me!

How I feel today:

blah
The song stuck in my head right now: Here it goes again - Ok Go

Ipods scare me!

Soooo yeah, the reason for the title is that my ipod, Sean, wouldn't turn off earlier, so I tried to just reset it to get to work again. But when I did that it did something else as well. It'd somehow made it look as if all the songs were gone. So I plug it up to my laptop and it say's that it had 1.7 GB used up out of my 2 GB's. So I freak, this is my third ipod (I traded my brothers 15 GB for my 4 GB Mimi and then the Hardrive died so this is my third one) and I REALLY can't have this one break.
I ended up having to go to the ipod support on Apple.com and see what I can do. The site tells me I can 'Restore' it, which will reset everything on the ipod. So I try this, but I find out it won't work because my computer, for some odd reason, won't install the latest version of itunes. Which I HAVE to have to restore it. Loverly, eh? (I meant to say "Loverly", it's a thing with our family) Then I remember Erin's comp has the latest Itunes software on it. So I try that, and after about 10 minutes of working with the comp and Ipod it restores and now I have an with 127 songs on it that, gladly, will turn off and works perfectly!
You may find this boring, but my ipod is a huge thing to me! So I'm happy it's working again.

I need a new name for it, as it is right now, it's name is "Hey! What's my name, yo?" Yes, I am weird.
Comment with names!

Well I'm off to start putting songs back on my ipod, later!

Dec. 6th, 2006 @ 12:53 am Dear santa, I want a Pony and a plastic Rocket.

Where I'm lost right now: Here
How I feel today:

bouncy and sugared up!
The song stuck in my head right now: Blink 182 - Shut up!

Yo, so lots of stuff has happened in the last few weeks... I'll try to keep it short, but I'm not promising anything!

First off, we had Jake and Rita, and Shelley, Mike and Janelle were here for Thanksgiving/Christmas (we had it on thanksgiving because Dad's gonna be flying on Christmas and J&R, and M&S&J wouldn't be able to come for Christmas). I had a grand time with Jake and Rita being here, they're so much fun! And Janelle

is the cutest baby ever!
Anyways, Thanksgiving was great, we did all the normal things, turky, ham, what we're thankful for, eating too much, etc...
Then we had Christmas (actually on thanksgiving, we did thanksgiving the day before), and that was great! I got the soccer ball I wanted, the pants I asked for, the books I asked for (plus a new titanic one and classic I haven't read yet) and a ton of other things!
Then I went day-after thanksgiving shopping with Tyler and Taylor! That was so much fun, the people are just fun to watch, and the sales rock. I got a few things for myself (since we already had Christmas, it was all about me! :-P ). Sometime around lunch we went to Wal-mart cause Tyler and Tay's dad was picketing because of some thing wal-mart was doing for gays. (I handed out the things and read one but I've forgotten what it was about now :-P ) Then we went to Old Navy, met a really cool girl that worked there. (she tried to find us a scratchy thing that had like 15% off because we kept getting "Try again", she rocked)
I ended up spending 12 hours out shopping and stuff with Tyler and his family. Oh I also played touch football with some of the Neals neighbors, Tay just watched and Tyler cleaned his room up.

Then last week I went to Cary to help Shelley with her house cleaning and helping with Janelle! And she's the best child! She sleeps most of the time, and almost NEVER cries! I got to hold her tons and since Shelley couldn't drive (the C-section and all) I drove her and Janelle everywhere!
On Saturday or something I got bored and went to the Cary mall, it is actually bigger and cooler than Carolina Mall. Didn't see anyone I know from church though :(

So now we're up to now. I'm gonna be in a living nativity with Melanie Nelson and a bunch of other people! Mel needed someone to be Joseph and she called me Sunday night, so if you're going by New Hope Presbyterian Church, in China Grove this Friday, Saturday or Sunday, look for Mary and Joseph walking around with a donkey. That'll be Mel and me.

Oh and today I had my picture taken with Santa at Starbucks! I'll have to scan the picture in and show y'all. I also need to scan in some of my senior photos.

Ok, Pease Love and all that Stuff!

Where I'm lost right now: HOME! For a while finally!
How I feel today:

Bouncy and happy!
The song stuck in my head right now: Sleep - The Black Parade

Ok… so I've been told that I should update, and seeing as I like telling my friends what I do all the time, I'll oblige you all!

Well first off, I had my last soccer game last Monday, we won. And I got to play center-mid for the first 15-20 minutes of the game! (Seniors get to play whatever poasion they want on the last game) I think I did alright, but who knows with me :-P Then the coach put me back in the back line, because he said he'd only guarantee us the first 10 minutes of the game. They made one goal that was total luck, but still the end score was like 6-1 or 5-1. Aaron nut-meged the goalie with one of his shots, LOL, I really would of hated to be the goalie in that game.

Oh some time before that the Hapers had a early Halloween party, and it was flippin' fun! I somehow got it into my mind that it was at 4 and not 6… so I got there at 5 and just helped set up stuff with them. I dressed up as a doctor, lame eh? But that's all I could come up within 2-3 days :-P Mel and Kay had the best customs, Kay was the queen of the night (her prom dress and a cape) and Mel was a Vampire, complete with fangs, and black hair! She looked great!
( I'm not done with the rest of this, but I'll finish it later )

Hey people! I guess I haven’t really posted much lately… I’m not sure at all why not, because I’ve had a sprained ankle and wasn’t allowed to be on it much. So you’d think I’d have posted at least once in the whole week and a half I’ve had be ankle hurt, but no, not me.
Well anyways, I’ll try to make this as short as possible and tell you what I’ve been up to.

Sep. 23rd, 2006 @ 09:54 pm Just a quick update while I'm waiting for my clothes to get done in the dryer!

Where I'm lost right now: Concord, NC
How I feel today:

Bouncy and sleepy! Odd combo.
The song stuck in my head right now: Congratulations - Blue October

Well, umm, last saturday was way to busy for me to put it all down (actually, I'm sure I could but it'd be another 3 pager, so I'll refrain). But here's the quick version of it... My little sisters, Bethany and Grace, my little brother, Zeke, and I went to St. Louis for the day to see our mother, grandmother, uncle & aunt, and their kids.
I went skeet shooting, and that was a blast! I wish I could do it more!
We almost didn't get on the flight back home that night, because the guy was a jerk and didn't want to let us on, (we got there 5 minutes later then the latest check-in) but the plan was over an half an hour late. So it was him just being a git. Then he was sorta ticked at us because we were wearing flip-flops, and non-rev.'s aren't allowed to wear them on plane.

Umm, my soccer team is finally picking up with winning! We've had 7 games and won the last 4 in a row! But sadly I missed the last one, in the game friday a guy fell on my leg during a coner kick and I twisted my ankle. I can walk almost normally now, but running is still out. I just hope I'm able to play monday and tuesday(game). My ankle is still about twice it's normal size. Looks icky!

Then Friday I went to NORTH Lake mall, got two new shirts. (my favorite shirts have been getting short :K) I like these shirts alot, they feel great and look cool!

Today I had my leg up almost the whole day while hanging up all my clothes. For about the past month I've just beed washing them and putting them in baskets next to my bed, but today I took care of that, and also got rid of some old cloths I don't like anymore, or don't fit!

OH! And I'm reading another John Grisham, The Street Lawyer. But it's going slow, I only read it on the way to away games and at breakfast! It's ok so far.

Ok, that's all, this wasn't all that quick, but my clothes still aren't done. And if you want quick read someone else LJ! So blah! (But really, stay, I LOVE YOU ALL!)

Edit: I need a new icon, I'm bored with this one.

Where I'm lost right now: Concord, NC
How I feel today:

sleepy
The song stuck in my head right now: Tomorrow By someone I forget the name- Ask Erin.

Dude, so today has been one really cool day!
First I got to go to Northlake Mall at 9:30 with Tyler and Taylor! Had a blast just joking around and shopping... I got a new pair of jeans that actually FIT! 32/36 are hard to come by unless online for $50. These were on sale, so they were $20! And they were the first pair of jeans I looked at, freaky, no?

Then Taylor and Tyler dropped me off at the school at 2:00 so I could ride the bus to the game. Oh and... WE WON! I'm so happy we finally won a game! And I got to play for about half an hour, and didn't really make any big mistakes! But I did get fouled, and I hurt my hand when the guy hit me, but it's ok, we WON!

Well, that's about it... I also beat Amy, Erin, and Jule at Halo just now, but that's not as cool as winning a game :P Later my people!

How I feel today:

happy
The song stuck in my head right now: Rise against - Swing life away

Dude, so last night was such a blast! I had a flippin’ cool time at the Luau! Even though I was working through most of the day I had a great time! For the first few hours (11:30 – 2:00) I was just moving things down to the bottom area of the place, I had a great time cause one of my friends little brother, Zack, was helping me move tables down the stairs to the bottom area. He was only 4, and he was wearing a little Superman cape and had this cute little plastic ‘S’ on his shirt. So while we were moving the table he’d grab the end of the table and I’d be like “WOW Zack! You’re so strong, I feel like I’m not even holding the table!” then he’d go “Well I’m Superman, so I’m strong”. He was just so funny for a little kid, I kept on playing with him until he and his mom (Audrey King) left.

( To read more about my day at the Luau... )

Sep. 13th, 2006 @ 11:27 am Kids, and Jules trying to kill us driving!

Where I'm lost right now: Falling away from you!
How I feel today:

chipper
The song stuck in my head right now: Such gread heights - Postal Service

****This post was writen on Sunday afternoon, but I didn't get it off my laptop til now****

Sunday: Ah, driving fast is way too much fun!
I did 20 over in a 65 zone :P

Buuuuuttttt, having Jules drive is like the scariest thing I've ever done! And that's saying something… cause I've jumped out a of 2nd story window, gone over 25 miles over the speed limit, and broken into several places.

I swear, if I was as bad at driving as Jules then I feel deeply sorry for anyone I drove around for my first year! The first time I felt like I was gonna die while Jules was driving was when dad let her drive us to Terry's to get hair cuts.

I was holding the armrest of the trucks door for dear life! She almost got us hit that time. Pulled right in front of someone at a green light.

But today was something I've never, ever seen someone do… she was pulling out of the driveway and then she just threw the gear into park for some odd reason… I think she said she forgotten to turn on the windshield wipers or something (there was dew on it still so she couldn't see). But we all freaked out cause it scared the heck out of us, and unsettled us from our seats.

The whole way she kept making odd jerks with the wheel and then almost pulled out in front of a one coming car, but I, being the ever watchful and way cool person I am, yelled at her "STOP! STOP! STOP! THERE'S A CAR RIGHT THERE!!!!" so she slams the brakes again… Gladly she let me take over driving at the first wal-mart! I was so happy when she did that.

On a much happier note; we went over to the Rezenti, and had a blast playing Halo 2 (I beat Amy, Erin, Joseph and Mickey at a few times, but mostly I came in 3ed or 4th), eating, playing with the kids, talking to the adults (although we did play Halo with some of the adults) and just hanging out.

Jon, the youngest Rezenti boy, loves to come up to me and try to stomp on my feet, but when he does I pick him up and tickle him or just hold him above my head, something he loves for me to do. And since I don't mind playing around with the little kids, he, and some of the other kids in the church, try to take me down. But seeing as they all weigh less than 50 pounds each, all they can do is hang on me as I slowly pull them off.

Also I made the mistake of keeping my wallet on me while they did this, so when Jon felt my wallet in my back pocket he took it, so I start chasing him around, but then I remember that I have no money in there, so I just half-heartedly ran after him.

He ended up passing it off to several different people, but I kept catching him and he'd take it again. He even got Amy to help him with it, passed it to her and then she passed it off as well, but grabbing me so Kate could run with it. :P

It was overall a freaking good time! Oh and her cooking is great! I ate twice as much as anyone (no surprise there ;) ), and couldn't get enough of her strawberry bunt cake! (even though I'm like way anti-sugar)

***For monday***: Tomorrow I have a full day, I'm going to this Luau thing tomorrow and since I'm one of the "Teen greeters" I have to help set up. So I'm gonna be there all day tomorrow (2 till 9:30) so later my peoples!
