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!
Last week on Monday the 10th it was a pretty cool day. For our Chemistry final exam we had to go over to the Elementary school and do a presentation to the little kids about the Scientific Method. Jessica is in Mrs. Kolb's classroom and that is the one Briana and I went to. The kids loved us, we brought flash paper over and bomb bags. Did a few of those first and then lit some elements on fire to see what color they burned. I used the overhead to put down how many kids thought what element was going to burn what color and so on. Took us about 35-40 minutes? Mrs. Arnold was kind of pressing us for time but Mrs. Kolb didn't mind =]. It was kind of nerve racking but Mrs. Kolb helped keep the kids under control and it was overall fun. I'm totally glad it is done and over with though!!
I know I've said this before but Amanda is coming for Thanksgiving and I'm excited. Twilight is coming out tomorrow night at midnight but I'm not going to see it then. Going to wait until Amanda comes here =D. The plans that Mom told me was that they're coming up Thanksgiving Day around 11 a.m. and that they were going to go home on Saturday. Suuuucks! But Manda convinced Aunt Debbie to let her drive up following her and stay until Sunday, yay!!!!! It's one more day but still! I can't wait =].
Last night I stumbled upon my old journal that I wrote before I started this blog and it was fun reading some of the things I wrote about. Maybe sometime I'll put an entry on here from it or something!~

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.
