Tyler Ward
I am not really all that much into his originals, they are good don't get me wrong, but I absolutely love his covers. This one might just be my new favorite. If you have never heard of him , you should definitely look him up on youtube or myspace.
Another video that you might enjoy,
This is my favorite cancelled show. It is called Arrested Development, and I am currently watching it. The family is so freakin' hilarious, they have no idea what a chicken sounds like. If you have never seen this show before you should definitely talk to me so you can come over and have a marathon with me. That's what's up!

My new idea
Lately, I have found myself subconsciously finding the negative in almost everything. Doing this puts me into a pretty bad mood, and if you know me at all you know I hate being in a bad mood. So I have decided to take up a new challenge. I would make up a super cool name for it but, my mind has drawn itself to a blank. Anyways for the rest of the summer, as in until school starts, I am going to go around thinking positive things about people, and for every negative thing I think I am going to think of two positive things. Hopefully doing this will give me a change of heart, which is exactly what I need to start the school year. I understand this idea isn't exactly the most original but if it is going to help me then I think it is a pretty fine idea.
On another note, Malia Malo sent me a letter the other day (yes an actual letter that you send in the mail) and it made me want to start writing letters too. I mean letters are just so exciting to get in the mail, sometimes an e-mail just isn't enough haha. So after I am done writing Malia back, I plan on writing more letters to people. A letter could brighten somebody's day, and that will simply make my day if I brightened another persons. So anyways, I am pretty much almost done with Malia's letter, so I want to write another one. Any takers? If you want one you should just hit me up on here or facebook with your full address!
Despicable Me comes out tonight and I want to go see it at midnight with Jenna but I have no money, sad day. So I am going to find a way to earn money if it kills me, not really I am just going to find a way haha.

I have
came across many girls in my lifetime who tend to "fall in love" very easily. They think if a guy likes them then that guy must be the one. I just don't get how you could fall for a guy so quickly. For me, personally, I really have to truly get to know someone before I can even start to like them, let alone fall in love with them. I am not the kind of girl who likes a billion guys at once it really does take a lot for me to truly like someone, the last time I did was like January?
Girls with constant boy problems tend to bug me just a little bit. They are wasting valuable time in their youth worrying if this guy likes her or if you should like this guy or this one. To me it really is just a waste of time. I like being able to have guy friends without having any problems with them. I like being able to hang out with them not worrying about possibly being in a relationship. When your young you should live! Living shouldn't involve worrying, it is just a waste.
One thing I really like about being Mormon is the fact that we aren't encouraged to just date one guy, I don't mean being in a relationship kind of dating, I mean when you turn 16 you ARE encouraged to go on dates with different guys, not be in a committed relationship. The point of this is to find qualities that you might possibly want in a future "mate", I mean I know a lot of people are going to disagree with this kind of concept but honestly it is better in the long run. Instead of marrying the first guy you think you love and then getting a divorce later on, you get to know a whole bunch of different guys and decide what you like and don't like about them and when you find a guy or girl with all the qualities that you found yourself liking then you can be in a relationship with them and see how things go from there. Sounds pretty good to me.
But yes girls who think they are in love within the first couple days tend to be quite annoying.
So on another not, hopefully I will be hanging out with Wenna today, and party it up with Just Dance (heck yes I bought it), me and Wenna are pretty bomb at this game so you should definitely challenge us if you like a challenge because we are the ones to beat. haha.
Fireworks were pretty nice, but they were much more exciting when you are a kid. And plus I was at Disneyland the same week and Gilberts cant even compare to DLANDS fireworks. Thats one thing that Disneyland is the best at hands down.
Airbender was really quite disappointing. I could go on and on with the things I did not like about the movie but you should just go see it yourself and make your own opinions.
I have come to the conclusion that Harry Potter seems to come out either in the summer or the day after my birthday. I cannot wait for part one of The Deathly Hollows to come out. November 19!

Regulars?
So I was reading Jenny Jensens most recent blog, and it really got me thinking about honored people and what kind of people, these days, get honored. In Jenny's blog she typed this:
Back to Jenny's quote I was thinking about her number three point. Who would you say is "everyone else in between one and two"? Everyone has their different opinions on who those people could be, in my opinion I would think these people to be the "regulars", people who go to school with a regular schedule in regular classes. People who aren't the smartest of them all but not dumb. People who go to school, expecting no praise at all. These people to me seem to be honored the least. I mean who wants to honor someone normal right? wrong. Sometimes the most regular people are the people that need to be honored the most. In schools you will see teachers and principals awarding the extraordinary students who go to infinity and beyond with big awards. But what about the not so obvious "regular" people? They get a sticker?
I love it when these type of people really shine through and really voice there opinions or go the extra mile or really make someone drop their jaw with surprise. Sometimes these people really need to be honored. They truly become and show they are honored and regular students when they really shine.
So it makes me think are regular people really regular? Or are the honored students who just aren't as bold and haven't found themselves through yet. It truly amazes me when they do become bold even if it is temporary! In group discussions with my regulars english class this last year I was able to see people truly shine with their opinions and what they believe in. We were able to get really good discussions out of peoples opinions, and I really love discussions so you must imagine how much I enjoyed these days. Regular people are really the most extraordinary people you will ever meet, you just have to give them the chance to be extraordinary. Thats a lesson a lot of teachers need to learn.
So there is my crazy unorganized train of thought for you, sorry if it doesn't make sense but it makes sense to me and I guess that is really what counts. If you don't agree, awesome!!
i believe that when it comes down to it, there are three types of honour students.In most schools you see the smartest being in the senior class being honored by becoming Valedictorian. In life you see scientists and inventors being honored by winning the Nobel prize.
one. the ones that do all their homework, study for test, spend hours worrying about their grades
two. the ones that are just naturally smart and don't make an effort but are just in the honour classes because of their brilliant minds
three. everyone else in between one and two

California / Disneyland
Well this week has pretty much been amazing! Newport Beach was so much fun and I love all the cute little houses that are right beside it! I want to have like a summer house there or something. The negative thing about that beach is that there are no freakin’ showers! So we smelt pretty bad for thirty minutes until we got back to the hotel. Oh but at the beach me and Rory made a little sign for Yoo-Jin.
Disneyland was really fun I got in free as did Rory and McKenzie because we have a friend who is a photographer there and she is allowed to bring in 3 free people! I pretty much went on every single roller coaster there and in California adventure. Oh and anyone who is going to go see World of Color it is so amazing! THe fire was the best part. BUt don’t stand for 2 hours waiting for it to start, me and Rory got punch drunk and kind of went a little crazy! Oh and I went on screamin’ and I love it! And yes that means I went on a looped roller coaster so that is one check on my list of things to do before I graduate.
Did you know it is 30 degrees hotter in AZ than in Cali, it is quite ridiculous!
Oh and Eclipse is really good! I mean they left out a butt-load of stuff and Leah looks ugly but I liked it overall. An 8/10 for me. Now I need to go see the Last Airbender, because there are 5 elements right Jenny and Katti? haha.
Oh I got a coule new shirts from H&M! I am excited because I love H&M, and I haven't been there in forever.
So yeah a pretty short post because there is too much for me to type right now.
P.S HAPPY CANADA DAY! WOOT WOOT!
