So I have came to the conclusion that I have made it pretty far in my 14 1/2 years of my life. I am definitely not what I expected myself to be when I was five. I used to think I would be a child star like the Olsen twins or something. I definitely wouldn't think I would be living in the freakin' hot Arizona when I was 5. I thought I would forever be in Calgary, Canada, and I sometimes wish I still lived there but I have grown up so much from living in Arizona and I can't even think of how my life would have turned out if I ended up staying there. Even though I sometimes don't want to live here in AZ I am happy I did because I wouldn't have made the great friends that I have made or made decisions that I have made here. I feel like I have matured so much since last year even. High School has been such a good thing for me and I just finished my first year in it. I couldn't imagine a better life for me right now. I am very proud of how far I have come. I feel like I can be dependent on people but I can be independent when necessary. I used to be so dependent I could hardly function without the presence of at least one of my friends. Nowadays, I like to be alone but I love to go out as well. Sort of like the best of both worlds (sorry to go all Hannah Montana there). I have come to a point in my life where I am simply confident. I have confidence in who I am and what I believe in. I can do things on my own and make my own decisions without receiving the approval from the popular kids like I did in grade four. Or now how I can dress however I want without worrying about what people have to say about it like I did in grade seven. I remember in elementary I would do anything to be in the "popular crowd" I thought that I was just a waste of air if I wasn't popular. Now I don't even want to be popular I could care less about it. I like being with the friends I have now even if we aren't the coolest kids around. I have changed so much in the past few years. I feel like I have finally formed into the butterfly that I have been waiting to become for the longest time. I know I am not done changing and maybe I never will be but during my journey I am going to find the positive in everything I do and what I become. I am happy that I have broken out of my little shell and gotten to know new people from different religions, cultures, and even social groups. I used to only like to hang out with one kind of crowd, but now I like to have a huge variety of friends that I know I can always turn to. I know it is strange that I am writing a blog about how I am proud of my life when I am so young but I could care less personally.
Now I just want to say thanks to everybody that has come into my life and helped me realize things.

Note: There are a lot of people I am forgetting please do not get offended. not all my friends are even on this list.

simply complex
good oxymoron eh?
truth is everything is complex, nothing is simple
"The complexity of things - the things within things - just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple."
well complexity was mine and jenny's conversation of about ten minutes ago.
it was brought up by how mankind tends to hear what they want to hear.
the it evolved into how we love complexity and how it is somewhat two faced.
what i mean is that complexity is fascinating and thrilling, it leads to questions that we are eager to be answered. but on the other hand with all this complexity come frustration which is definitely the negative aspect.
everything is complicated nothing can be solved with a small action. for things to be figured out and solved you have to get the fascinating questions in and get the frustration that is in the packaged deal.
mankind in one word can be described as complicated.
mankind is still not completely figured out.
there are so many questions that have been unanswered and so many questions that will come after those other questions have been answered. complexity is endless.
and i am sure that this blog is very complicated for some of you but that is good for you. and as jenny would say "it is good for the soul" and it truly is.
and to add another random comment in here revolved around this subject i would like to say that mankind can't be fixed to what one person wants it to be like. people have the choice of what they want to be, do, believe. everything we do is complicated as humans and it is hard for some people to comprehend that. though some people don't always agree with others we should respect what other people do and who they are.
well there is all my mixed and complex feeling that i tried to pour out onto a page.
p.s dear _______, things are different now and maybe it is for the better but i am done with all this stress and hope for something that isn't going to happen.

dance , dance
last night i went to a stake dance with becca blomquist and it was one of the dances that are really lame every time i go to one. but i had nothing to do so i went with her. when we first got there, there were literally 10 people there. it was me becca tyler kj truman jordan jordan alex cody and alyx. it was so boring because it was just my little group that was there and we did absolutely nothing. then time continued on sydney baugh showed up with chandler and her friend kayla. and thats when the dance started to fill up slowly including kyle and zach (and some of the girls that i do not particularly fancy). then my buddies blake troy and jake came and i pretty much jumped from different groups the entire time. then sydney went and got me some watermelon slushie from sonic and everybody started to consume it (watermelon is the best flavor i understand why everybodywanted some,;)) one reason i really love dances is the line/group dances because me and becca and sydney are always in front being spazzes (yes that is so uncool but at least we are having fun). i do enjoy dancing with the new guys that i have never met before but i do have a problem with the way some guys dance at these things.
The Hip Hurting Dance
this dance is quite painful for girls. its for the guys that i call "swayers". you see swayers only sway back and forth and never pick up their feet. this is very painful because only your hips are moving for the entire song. anyways there is this guy who remain nameless that is really good at this dance. at first i thought it was just me (because i was on my period and i thought it was just my cramps) but then sydney and becca danced with him too and all our hips hirt for like ten minutes even after the dance. So here is a heads up for all guys who could possibly be reading this DO NOT SWAY (:
so becca decided that she was going to pretend to be lesbian with me. and this guy was taking it a little too literally, every time she danced with a guy he came up to me and he is like "she is ditching you for a guy how do you feel?" and he said that with all seriousness. so hilarious i kid you not. and he always popped up around me whenever i was alone for like two seconds. he was EVERYWHERE!
So yeah i had a lot of fun last night i danced with cody, alex, blakex2, jake and others that i have drawn a blank to what their names are. I also learned that I am really good at kicking. me chandler kyle and becca were doing a line dance that involved kicking really high and chandler kept purposely kicking me so everytime i was behind him tried to kick him but he would get away, when i finally kicked i guess i kicked him really hard which i am proud of because i don't necessarily look like the most intimidating person in the world.
so now it is summer and i am looking forward to the bucketlist and whatever anyonelse wants to do. oh and maybe disneyland? if my family can earn some mula.
thats all for now i guess.

finals.
today i took two finals, and had one party.
luckily i passed both of them.
math - C (my grade maintained the same grade)
i leave a freshman with an A in math
french - A (i am very happy about that one)
i leave a freshman with an A in math
and my party was in theatre but i have an A in that class as well.
tomorrow i have my finals for biology and english.
i am only really worried about my english one because for some reason i am really good at english during the year but when it comes to tests it goes downhill. no idea why.
biology should be easy i think.
so it was the second to last day of school today and it doesn't even feel like the end of the year to me. i feel like i have a month left. lame. hopefully tomorrow will feel the way the last day of school should feel.
so graduation soon. me and my mom are decorating the house for the party. fun fun.
speaking of my mom. she passed out today in dillards. my dad said she had a shortage of food in her system. hopefully she will get to feeling better and the baby is okay too. she keeps trying to clean so me and my grandpa are trying to get everything done so she can lay down and relax. poor mom.
anyways, in french me abbey and erin and sort of martha (who was eavesdropping at the time) got to talking about friends and summer. how we feel like we are all drifting away from our closest friends. we were talking about how easy it is to grow apart from friends in the summer. and how you can tell when someone really wants to stay your friend they will make the initiative to actually hang out with you. i know i am not necessarily the best at hanging out with people over the summer but i think i am going to try that this year. to make the initiative to hang out with the people i plan on staying friends with. then we got to talking about my mothers pregnancy to which apparently i had not told any of them that my moms eggo was prego haha. oh speaking of pregnancy my french teachers baby is supposedly due next week but it could be coming any time soon. hopefully she will be a lot nicer next year because she won't be pregnant. i guess we will just have to wait and find out for myself.
well video chat soon hopefully.
come what may summer!

start of
the last week of school.
I technically only have 3 days of school (adding the two 1/2 days together)
I have 2 finals tomorrow. 2 final on tuesday. none on wednesday and 1 on thursday. so its a pretty even mix.
not quite sure how i am feeling about the whole thing.
I am totally ready for summer but i don't think i want to let go of a year that has turned my life upside down.
I know this summer is going to add to this whole rotation in my life. I can't wait, but a little too anxious.
This year started out pretty shaky i honestly used to miss the jr. high at the beginning of the year. I have drifted away from TRPWSITMOTCAD (The random people who sit in the middle of the courtyard all day) they were like my closest friends and they all had 4th hr lunch while me and jeannie had 5th hour. But I also met a lot of new people this year like Katti and Kyra and Jenny. I have also gotten a lot closer to people this year like Gunnar, Kayla and Jenna. And others have drifted away. sad but thats life i guess.
I cant wait until summer, I want to hang out with a lot of new people and meet new people. I want something new and exciting to happen. i NEED this summer to rememberable.
Well my aunt and grandparents are over from Canada for Rory's graduation. Which means I got canadian chocolate bars and ketchup chips<333 they are my favorite things in the world.
I might bring some chips tomorrow. I don't know.
Postscript : I bought Moulin Rouge on DVD so someone should come watch it with me sometime.
Postscript 2 : Jenny+Jenna; @ blockbuster all kids movies are 99 cents so we should have out movie night soon.
Postscript 3: We need to schedule the new date for chalk night.

disappointment
yes that has been happening a lot lately.
disappointment in people - the things they have done lately
disappointment in events - things that didn't work out as well as they should have (talent show)
disappointment in school - finals and not doing more
that is one thing i sure don't like to be very often.
it usually takes a lot for me to get disappointed but for some reason lately it has become a lot easier to become disappointed.
on a positive note i guess you could say this disappointment will make me stronger. that i will learn from this. disappointment cannot destroy me, thats for sure. disappointment could only lead me to new adventures with different things and/or people.
also from disappointment you gain a sense of hope. hope that things will turn out well. hope that it will never happen again. hope to be able to overcome any more disappointments along the way.
off of that note.
i realized something today i thought i already realized.
we aren't the same. we don't act the same. we most likely couldn't get back to the place that we were at. we had fun, and i am always here for you. but things just aren't the same. and summer will most likely be the end of it. i hope that things will get better in the far future but the time a part we are having will strengthen us. it will make us realize some of each others faults. for now, we are too different, too different to bring us to a common ground.
and off of that note.
officially only 4 more days of my freshman year left.
this year went by so very quickly. to think i only have three more years to go.
it may sound long for some of you, but to me that seems like in a blink of an eye i will be graduating.
rory graduating helped me realized this. it wasn't so long ago that he was a freshman and his high school career went really fast for me at least.
i cannot wait until summer. this will be the start of a great change in my life.
and off of that note as well.
Katti Smith - thanks for being there, for everything during lunch. you are one of the very few people i can trust with my life and i hope you know that
Sydney Baugh - i'm not quite sure what i am going to do without you. a piece of my life is leaving with you to gilbert. i can't believe you are moving and i don't want you to but i will live and so will you and we will still see each other a lot. you and your family have been my sanity and i am more that grateful for all of you.
Jenny Jensen - even though i haven't even talked to you for that long i know i can talk to you and you will be there to listen. and that is strange because it normally takes a lot for someone to get me to talk to them about my life. (i guess your special) my ears are open for you always. i can't wait until summer. concerts.movienights.chalknight.summer'10!
and now i bid thee adieu

dissection
for the past two days in biology we have been dissecting frogs. at first it was a pretty bad idea to pair myself up with bella (we are both squirmy) but yesterday when we started observing it and stuff it wasn't as bad. today was the day we had to cut the frog and surprisingly bella wanted to do it. funny thing is, is that bella wanted to cut elliot (the name of our frog) but refused to touch any of the parts, and i didn't want to cut him but i was able to touch all the parts. mr sherrill said he was proud because i was one of the few girls who would actually touch with my fingers the organs and what not. anyways ill get up two pictures.
The frog cut open!
Me and Bella (not the best picture haha)

Beauty
Jenny's new movement got me thinking about beauty and the lengths people go to obtain it.
Think about everything girls do to make themselves... suitable for a guy or confident about how they look.
Some pretty girls like to cake their face on with make up
Others only wear a little mascara cover-up and eyeliner.
Some girls can't go to school without teasing your hair or adding volume.
Others can go to school with their natural hair and on adding a little style on another.
Some girls dress to impress (boobs, butts, legs)
Others wear what they are comfortable with wearing.
Sometimes the way people (guys or girls) dress or make themselves appear is much different than their personality.
True beauty is hard to find, but in the end its worth your time.
I know I am not the physically prettiest girl in the world but I make up for that with my personality, and I think that is worth a lot more.
I came up with a few things girls do that I don't particularly find "good looking"
*Teasing your hair until it looks like a tumor
*Wearing so much foundation it looks like you are a cake
*Wearing so much make up, your neck and face are two different colors
*Showing your bra (only one person can do that) i find it to be very trashy
*Showing your boobs; only cocky self-indulgent guys are looking at you
*Wearing short shorts to an extent where I can see you butt hanging out
*Wearing a lot of DARK make-up to an extent that I cannot see the color of your eyes
*Wearing clothes that look really uncomfortable; i don't know why it just bugs me.
Those are just a few things. I would make a list of things that makes a girl pretty (physically) but there are so many. I wouldn't have the time.
Well time to eat some pancakes for dinner!
Chalk night is officially postponed, we will figure out dates later. We want lots of people to come.

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”True beauty is something that not a lot of people see. Sure what you wear or how you look makes you "beautiful" but only to an extent. Maybe it's good for the two weeks that your dating "your soul mate" but in the long run its true beauty that counts. True beauty goes far beyond looks it is much deeper inside of you. Personality. Personality is beauty. A good man will not choose his wife by the physical beauty (but yes physical beauty does play a role) a good man chooses his bride by the way she acts around him, how she is compared to when she is with her friends and her boyfriend. A woman should be comfortable around the people they want to spend the rest of their life with. They should be able to wear no makeup and have their someone think they are even more beautiful.

Spectacular, Spectacular!
Well I haven't had too much to blog about lately but now that its the end of another week in May I figured I would blog a little.
So any ways, first things first I had my french oral exam on Friday. I was so so nervous I kid you not. But luckily I did well I got a 99/100. That is so much better than what I thought. I am relieved that I got it over with instead of doing it tomorrow. And plus since I did it on Friday I don't have to do a project at the end of the year, which is really good. Hopefully I can maintain my A!
Friday night, I went to my Church's girls camp "over nighter" at Belynda's house. We made some really cool camp shirts and pants. We played tether ball, mafia, we swam, made smores, practiced our skit. And then at about 2 in the morning me, Sydni Frost, Kyra Baugh, Kinley Garr and my sister played Skip-bo. It was fun because I won one of the two games:P Anyways after we played that we went to sleep outside on the grass. Worst mistake of my life. I got bit by so many bugs. Well technically yesterday I only had 4 red spots on my face but when I woke up this morning, there was way more than 4. And my sister has like a huge cluster of them on one of her cheeks so it looks like she has one big one. That picture doesn't even show how bad it is. Luckily my bangs cover most of it.
Saturday I went to visit my Uncle and Grandparents in Tucson. Well my dad was sick so he didn't come. And apparently they didn't care to see me or anyone else except my dad, so they were all in a bad mood the whole time. It was so rude though because they asked us to come visit them THE DAY BEFORE and my dad is a pretty busy guy and they expect him to drop everything and come see them. And then when he is SICK they all are in a bad mood. To make matters worse when we first arrived there my step-grandpa (who is such a creeper and he bugs me) is like "Look you guys Sydney is getting boobs" I was appalled so I didn't even talk to him the entire time. Adding to that, I was supposed to go to Jenna's party at the right time but I was nice enough to go a couple hours late to come visit my family and when my mom told them we had to leave they are all like "Sydney doesn't love us she doesn't even want to spend time with us, she would rather go to a party" AT LEAST I CAME IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Saturday was way better. I went to Jenna's party until midnight and we played wii and watched Horton Hears a Who. Haha Katie is so hilarious. Oh yeah we also watched silent library on MTV and I resent that show its so mean and horrible and the host is so ANNOYING!
Yeah so that was my weekend.
One other thing I would like to add to this blog is that I love going through yearbooks. They bring back so many memories it almost makes me want to cry. I was looking through my sisters 6th grade yearbook and it reminded me of how much I loved 6th grade! I can't wait until I get old and I can look at all my yearbooks from the past, it will be so much fun. I do wish that my elementary school in Canada had yearbooks because there are so many memories that have probably lost so many memories and it would be so good to reminisce (if that is how you even spell that)
++Can't wait until friday, Chalk Night!
It won't be that good but it will be fun(:
So any ways, first things first I had my french oral exam on Friday. I was so so nervous I kid you not. But luckily I did well I got a 99/100. That is so much better than what I thought. I am relieved that I got it over with instead of doing it tomorrow. And plus since I did it on Friday I don't have to do a project at the end of the year, which is really good. Hopefully I can maintain my A!

It's Gone!
I did it! I got my hair cut! I am so happy. I feel soooo relieved, haha I love it! My sister says I look like Selena Gomez? I think otherwise. I am really happy because my dad and mom really like it (they thought it would look bad, so they wouldn't let me for like a month). Yeah so I am going get some pictures up on here. I don't really have much to say rather than that.
So here are some pictures:

mckenzie
got her bangs cut as well(:
P.S Happy birthday McKenzie Richardson and Erika Shaw!!
Your so old(;

What I learned today.
Today was a pretty fantastic day, except after school that was sort of lame.
Well I learned some new things today:
1: When you like someone your eyes subconsciously dilate. But I think I am the exception to this rule because my eyes dilate all the time! But me Katti and Allie tried it today on someone who will remain nameless, and it totally works! But note to any guys who could possibly reading this: don't be fooled by my dilating eyes.
2: Also when you like someone you subconsciously mimic their head gestures. Like if they tilt their head you will just automatically tilt your head. Quite interesting if you ask me.
3: In Afghanistan it is polite for men to kiss each other as a greeting. To us western people that sounds pretty strange, but for them it is totally normal.
--I get so fascinated by different cultures and different things they do to women, men or children. I find it so fascinating that even though we live on the same planet we can do totally different things that might be acceptable in one country and totally insulting in another. Goes to show how different everybody is in the world.
4: I sort of already knew this but eye contact can change the outcome of a conversation. For example, if you are in an argument with your mom, you should look her straight in the eyes and not loose focus, this will get her to listen to what you are saying and possibly makes you win the argument. On this topic I also learned in a country (I can't remember the name) it is disrespectful to make eye contact, it shows you think you re better than them.
So yeah, those were some of the few things I learned, but I also learned a lot more about body language I don't feel like typing. I am very happy because I think I tagged Jenny twice today (almost three but she said no tag backs right before I tried to tag her) I also got Jenna today. I am very happy. I also got my yearbook for this school year, I had to wait 2 hours to get it but I got it. Luckily I got a ticket that assured that I got a yearbook, but for some reason the lady wouldn't give one to my brother so he wasn't able to get one:/ But thats okay we are going to share it. I get the extra pages for people to sign and he gets the covers. Its a good plan to me.
Now I am home, blogging with my orange soda and my yearbook next to me. I wish someone would get on skype so I could video chat with them.
I can't wait for:
May 12, 2010: I am getting my hair-cut
May 13, 2010: McKenzie's real birthday.

Happy Mothers Day!
Happy Mummies day Mom! You are one kick-butt mom(;
Well yesterday was fun, but hectic.
We first went to buy Angel for my moms present at chandler mall
Then went to my Wards baptism because me and Sydney had to sing a song.
Then we went over to the Baughs for lunch
Then we came back and got ready for McKenzies party
Then Mckenzie's friends came over and we went bowling.
It was pretty fun. I did really well the second round and Rory was very mad that I was beating him. (He hates when I beat him)
I took lots of pictures for McKenzie but most of them were a fail, so I will post a couple of them.
this first one, vi would never let me take a picture of her. this is at the very beginning of the party.
the second one is at the bowling alley. Vi still wouldnt take a picture. and thats mckenzies tongue, not her lip.
The last one is mckenzie blowing out her candles. she ended up with 5 boyfriends. I wonder who...

Life = Risk
If you want to be somebody in this world you have to take risks. Nothing will be handed to you on a silver platter. Risks make you who you want to be. Playing it safe doesn't cut it. Be spontaneous, risky, random. People like that are the people that we all look up to.

Blah Blah Blah
I have noticed recently how tired I am of school nowadays. For most people this would be normal, but it's not for me. You see, I usually love school and I am always happy for summer and stuff but I miss school. And I normally don't get tired or anxious for it to end. But this year its different. I cannot wait for school to be over, for some reason I feel like I have done what needed to be done. Blahh. On the plus side I will only be going through this misery for a few more weeks. I really can't wait for summer. I am going to make this one worth it. I know it will be. From concerts to pools to having picnics at the park, this summer will be just dandy.
Another point I would like to get to is that I am done. I am done with all this misery this situation has brought into my life. I am done, and I am not going to be the one trying anymore. Maybe this will be better in the long run. hopefully.
Katti, I don't know where I would be without you this year. Lunch is bomb.com with all our little adventures.
So, here is something for you all to think about for a little while.
"You should never hate anyone"
What do you think? Do you agree? Tell me why. Give me proof.

Inspiration
I think inspiration is one of the biggest aspects of my life. I don't know where I would be or what I would be doing without a little inspiration. In fact if you think about it, the whole world wouldn't even be the same.
So maybe for some people who need some inspiration I am going to post quotes and people that inspire me, and maybe they will have an affect on you too.
"You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left"
-Dr Suess
"Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law"
-Boethius
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same".
-Ronald Reagan
“One person can make a difference and every person should try.”
-John F. Kennedy
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different"

-Valerie Poxleitner
"You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid"
-Valerie Poxleitner
"I'm not here for your entertainment, you don't really want to mess with me tonight"
-P!nk

-Barack Obama
"I want to live my life, not record it"
-Jackie Kennedy
So maybe for some people who need some inspiration I am going to post quotes and people that inspire me, and maybe they will have an affect on you too.
- E.J Richardson - Everything I have done, he influenced me to do.
- Rory Richardson - He makes me be strong and to believe in myself
- Audrey Hepburn - She cared and wanted to care
- Michelle Obama - With all the bad things going on in America she sure does shine a light
- Elle Degeneres - She has confidence like no one else. She can always put a smile on my face
- Valerie Poxleitner - Her lyrics to her songs are so easy to be inspired by
- Jackie Kennedy - She changed the way I look at the fashion world
- John F Kennedy - The greatest president.

Last Night
I went to Rachel Bamrick's house for a little movie party with K.J, Jeff, Syd, Chandler and Becca. Well I gave in, I watched Avatar.
Jenny- I will say that it was better than I thought it would be
But that movie wad ENDLESS there were so many points during the film that would have made such a good ending! But noooo they had to continue on for 3 WHOLE HOURS! But on the plus side it had a pretty good story line going. The special effects were so unreal at first it bugged me but then as the movie went on, I got used to it and it was pretty cool.
Well me and Becca had fun making fun of K.J and Rachel who were being watched by Jeff.
hahaha AWKWARD.
On another note,
so much has been on my mind lately and I have really only been able to talk to a few people about them.
Jenny Jensen: Thanks for all the advice and just listening to me. I couldn't have made it through this week without you. And anytime you feel aggravated or lost. We will reverse that situation and I'll listen(:
Kayla and Kyra Ponkilla: I don't know what I would do without you two. You guys have helped me so much, thanks for all the advice.
Jenna Armenta and Katti Smith: thanks for being there to put a smile on my face!(:
