With Christmas here and family getting together, I started to think about all the previous get togethers and just fun in general that I've had with my family. A huge part of my fun comes from being with my cousins Manda and Becca. Oh how we use to play with Legos building shops, houses, vehicles for hours on end. Most of the fun came in the actual constructing of the town. Which is similar to the Sims game, which we also loved to play. When we were a few years littler, we would bust out my boxes of barbies and animals to turn the upstairs part of our house into barbie world. And even littler than that, my Grandpa Dame had this game on his computer called the Secret Garden. We use to love playing that game and from what I remember it was about this garden which this giant ruled and there were seasons and games you could play. I would like to play this game again just to see if it is as great as I had thought it was when I was a kid. Another great game we would play is Roller Coaster Tycoon. Oh the many times we used to build roller coasters that were unsafe just to watch people freak out. And making "happy" and "mad" places for people to go where we might drown them or try to make them happy. Sounds morbid but really it was all fun and games haha! Bionicles was another fad we were into which was when Bionicles were actually cool looking. It would almost be able the same as Legos besides we would sort of combine them together. The many hours we would play and create adventures together, laughing and having fun. I, in a way, miss these times when life was so much simpler and carefree. Didn't have to worry about school all that much, driving, working, bills etc. I only wish that there were more memories like the ones I have. I wish that my cousins could have lived in the same town so that we could have hung out everyday. It's too late though and so I just hope there are more great memories to come!
There are so many things that are annoying around the holidays, but I'll only name a few recent ones. A big thing that I'm sure almost everyone would agree with, driving in snow is a pain in the butt! I've fish-tailed, skidded, got stuck, and just plain sick of scraping snow/ice off my windows. Now you ask if when I'm old enough to move out if I'm going to move out of the snowy-winter states, well no because I like the change of seasons. It sort of doesn't make sense but that is alright.
Another recent annoyance is at the Library. Certain patrons feel the need to come into the library and try to fool us with their lies because they did something wrong and wont admit to it. In one instance a patron brought in a book that was two years overdue that had a broken hardcover. We had told them that we wont accept it because it is broken. They persisted that two years ago we had checked it out to them like that, which we wouldn't have since it was in that bad of a condition. In a result they got all mad and hadn't talked very nice to us thus getting themselves banned from using the Library until they make a settlement.
Also another patron came in and owed some money for a DVD that was overdue. If you're late on a DVD it is $1/per day. Well they paid for the charge but wondered when the DVD was due because they said they brought it back on time and that they wanted a receipt. Well I had already cleared it because they paid for it and so I had no way of looking up when they brought it back. So I told them that and they were like, "So there is no way for you to look it up?" well..that is what I had JUST said.. they were like well other libraries can do it. Ok well we aren't other libraries thanks...if you want to compare us to other libraries in a negative way then why don't you just go to the other libraries. So I gave them a receipt and they stood there like they wanted their money back. Obviously they didn't bring the DVD back on time because we also give a one days grace so it would have to of been overdue for four days in order to have charged $3. Ended up just giving them money back when they insisted that they didn't care about paying the fine, well obviously they did because they went to the full extent to explain that they work a low paying minimum wage job. By then I about had it with their stupid why this why that and didn't really care. It isn't my fault that they work a low paying job. So they took back $2 and gave us $1, you know a whole $2 makes a difference.
Oh then another time I was checking On Order slips for Brian and I had just checked the book drop and got a couple books that people had put on hold. Well there was a slip for a book that I had just got a hold for and so I told Brian. He said that the person seen the book that I had in my hand and didn't want it because it was a 3-in-1 book, that they wanted just the stand-alone version. My first thought was well if you want the stand-alone book go buy it your fricken self. There is no reason to buy a stand-alone book when we have a 3-in-1 book with the next two books in the series. And if you don't want to read the next two books in the series then just read the one and return it, simple as that. The stand-alone book was $17.50, which that money could be put towards buying other books in that series instead of wasting it on another copy of a book we already have. It is so aggrivating how people are so stupid towards things like that.

So my Mom asked me if I would want to go down to Indiana with her to go see of some of her old co-workers and friends. Of course I want to go! But not only is that sweet we can go shopping and Jessica wont be coming with us. Call me a mean sister I don't care, Jessica and I just don't get along for long periods of time. Maybe once she gets over her 'I'm a little Princess and can do whatever I want' attitude then maybe we can bond better, until then no. But the whole reason behind going to Indiana besides to see friends and whatever is to go see one of Mom's co-workers, Anna dell. Anna dell worked with Mom for along time and apparently she is dieing of liver cancer. I feel so bad for her and Mom. Other than the sad moments it should be overall fun just taking a road trip with Mom, just us two alone.
School is going alright, Got information on cap and gowns today, what fun(boring). I made a pimp-butt brochure for Chemistry class for the PRMP project, I love it. Studio art has gotten boring because I have no inspiration like what so ever. Advanced IT is majorly boring, this whole week we did nothing. I mean it is completely lame she is making us do HTML. Honestly why do I care? I dont. I rather do Photoshop but nooooooo we did that in Intro IT(our class didn't), pisses me off.
In other news... I can finally eat hard foods now, yay!! I stopped using the rinse and stuff but lately my mouth has been hurting a little so I'm not sure if I should start rising again. I'm totally excited because The Twilight Movie is coming out on the 21st!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that I can go see it if they have a midnight viewing =].

For the longest time it has been hard not having anyone to hang out with. I use to hang out with Britt but we haven't really done anything together pretty much from the beginning of this year. This weekend my family went camping and I didn't really want to go but then again I'm tired of not having anything fun to do on the weekends. So, I stayed home anyways and brainstormed things I could do now that I have a car. I'm kind of reluctant on that though because of the price of gas and if at all possible I could reduce the use of my gas it would be nice. It doesn't mean I'm not willing to do things, just to drive around by myself I see as kind of a waste of gas. Luckily though Mike got on and we started talking, I was bored and really wanted to do something. He said that he wanted to walk to Ryan's work and so I asked if I could go too! He drove over so we walked to Ryan's work and chit-chatted for awhile before Ryan had to start closing. It was nice to have someone to talk to. Mike's my friend and I'm just glad that we did something together tonight to kind of split up the night. Originally I had thought to go to the home game at the High School but do you know how fun it is to go by yourself. Sure I could hang out with Britt and them but I just feel like I don't know Britt all that well anymore so I'm kind of left out. Heather is cool though to hang out with but then again she's with Britt, so that was out of the options. In the end it worked out perfect and also made my day better =D.
Amanda is coming soon and I'm extatic for her to come. Another reason for my social suckage because I don't hardly hang out, depressing. It's okay though, I hope that she wants to go to school with me on Friday because they're coming Thursday, day before Halloween!!! YAY! haha Hopefully I can get that time off.

There's a lot of things that I long for daily. My cousin Amanda is the main one, she's like my twin sister and its amazing that she's not. We like the same things and even seem to have the same problems with friends and personal problems. It might seem kind of lame but when shes gone it feels like I'm only half of me and life is just duller. When we're together we have the most amazing times ever. I wonder if things would be different if they did lived closer, if we would get on each others nerves more or if it wouldn't be as much fun because we would always be around each other. I wish that my Uncle Dave was still alive, which is her father. It makes me think of my own father and how he lives in AZ and I hardly see him yet I am able to. For Amanda she will never get the chance to physically have her father see her in her prom dress or walk her down the aisle at her wedding.
Even though life moves on and you can't go back I think most people long for something that was in the past. Some type of memory that you wish you could still have or something that happened that you wish would have never gone away. Sometimes it's surprising when those moments come back up and it makes you remember how it was back then. When I was a little girl I was in love with Rainbow Brite. I only had a few episodes of it on VHS but I would watch it over and over. I also had this VHS with some baby songs on it and I would watch that almost everyday when I was a kid. I was surprised one day when I found these old tapes and I decided to watch them. My friend Britt was over and she couldn't figure out what the big deal about these silly cartoon movies was.
I’m still trying to figure out where my place in the world is. Right now I just work and get stuck going to school which has become stressful in the recent weeks. Ohhh it’s so much fun let me tell you -.-. At home I’m bored out of my mind and loaded with homework I don’t feel like dealing with. With senior year quickly approaching I’m going to have to figure out what I want to do. I’ve been considering either going into the Air Force or either taking some basic classes at Mid. The one thing I hate is when people ask me what I’m planning on doing and then when I say either something to do with animals or either be like a graphic designer (I love using Photoshop!) then they lecture me on how I should know what I want to do and go on about how they already knew what they were going to do when they were my age, it’s SO annoying! Not to mention it’s my career I have to decide on without really knowing what all I have to do right now. This summer though I plan to find out more about college and the kind of classes you have to take for the jobs I’m thinking about.
