Puppies

As some of you may know My dog Heidi had seven puppies christmas night. Unfortunately out of those seven only four lived through the night. In the 14 years my family has been breeding these dogs we've only lost one other puppy besides these, and that was due to circumstances beyond our control (the pup was born outside and we didn't find out about it until the next day). As such loosing so many was a real blow to all of us, especially my mom. To make matters worse, my mom took the remaining puppies to the vet for their checkup, and the stupid vet gave them dewormer. As a result, one of the females died last night, and one of the males is acting exactly like she did last night, meaning that we may end up with only two of the seven alive and healthy by the end of the day.

You Were Nice This Year!

You're an uber-perfect person who is on the top of Santa's list. You probably didn't even *think* any naughty thoughts this year. Unless you're a Mormon, you've probably been a little too good. Is that extra candy cane worth being a sweetheart for 365 days straight?

*laughs*

Two Days Late

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I know it's late, but I wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of each and every one of you. I love you all so much and appreciate your friendship. I hope you have a very happy holidays!

Bloody sacrifice gone to waste

Well the good news is, I should be safe from vampires now.
Yesterday I spent 7 hours volunteering at my stake's (hehe) blood drive. All was fine and dandy; I spent my time watching to make sure everyone signed in and ate something before they left. About an hour before it was supposed to end I decided to go ahead and give blood. I filled out all the paperwork, took the necessary tests, was pronounced fit to donate, and watched as the nurse stuck the HUGE needle in my arm. After the bloodletting was over I went back to work. A while later when my dad came in the nurses discovered that neither of us are supposed to give blood, meaning that my "donation" will most likely be thrown away *muttermutter*.
On the plus side I now have a completely legitimate excuse to stay far away from the needles, at least until I have been out of the house for a year.

*is beyond words right now*


Everyone, right now, has to go and read this article.   It has got to be one of the funniest things I have ever read.

Sunday, December 4, 2005

After a long and in depth conversation, Bethany and I have concluded that there are certain people whom we have absolutely no idea what to get for Christmas. As such we are requesting a wishlist from everyone (posted on livejournal so as others as lost as we are may read and enjoy). It doesn't have to be all that long nor does all of it have to be completely within a normal teenager's budget (I, for example, will be asking for a car^^;) but please help us out and give us some idea of what we could possibly get you.

I'll be posting a list shortly, as will Bethany, so please put your modest, unselfish desires behind and give us a your material wishlist.

Now back in Utah I am appalled to find snow on the ground. It wasn't there when I left and it shouldn't be there now dangit!

...

So yes. Shelli and I are the only ones in my house at the moment, and probably will be so for the next week. The rest of my family is still at my grandparent's house, while shelli and I had such things as school to worry about...which I should probably be working on now...

And la last word before I do






the Wit
(71% dark, 34% spontaneous, 31% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK

You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.

Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion.

You probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.

thanksgiving adventures

Earlier this week I thought I was going to be having a nice, quiet thanksgiving at home. No such luck. I am now in Cali staying with my crazy Mexican relatives (for those of you who have met them, the same ones that were at my house for a while). They just barely moved into their new house about two days ago and, as such, lack certain essentials, such as shower curtains and a kitchen table. My parents have taken this all in stride and are going to be spending the next few weeks helping them make the house livable.
The ride up was rather entertaining, to say the least.
We left yesterday, stopping in cedar city for dinner (as Shelli and I could direct my mom to every possible fast food place within a mile radius). When we'd finished eating I went outside to flag everyone to the car (meaning that I opened the door to the car, stood outside it and waved all of the kids from the bathroom to the car and hoped that we didn't loose anyone). As children poured from everywhere, the guy parked beside us sat and watched with a confused expression on his face, then asked where we were from (bear in mind we were still in Utah at this point). I replied that we lived near AF. With a look of dawning comprehension he said "ahh. Utah County" then went along his way.
Last night we stayed in the Lady Luck Casino in Vegas (not my first recommendation). Unfortunately the casino does not allow dogs. As such my suitcase was commandeered and emptied (it being the biggest and least complicated of the lot) to form an "inconspicuous" carrier for our rather unhappy dog Heidi. After coaxing her inside and leaving our Mormon War wagon (thank you whit) in the hands of the valet parking people, I picked up the rather wobbly suitcase and booked it for the elevator, past all of the hotel security and casino operators, with 8 snickering children following behind. Fortunately Heidi wasn’t moving too much, and we made it to our room with no one the wiser.
The wait in the morning however, proved to be a little more difficult. Heidi was once again returned to the suitcase and we all went down to wait for them to bring the car around. The valet guy looked positively tickled pink to be driving the huge van. My mom and siblings distracted the guy around the back, while I went to the front, got Heidi out, and gave her to Kaiti to walk. When they came around the corner Mr. Valet looked like he'd had whiplash from the double take, assuming that the dog had been in the car that he had been driving only moments before. As I recall mom laughed about that one till we reached the freeway.
Anyways, Shelli and I will be here until Saturday, then we'll be driving home Sunday in time for school on Monday, but I'll be checking the journal frequently until then.

Weekly news

*sighs* last day of break. I shall miss thee UEA.
Craaaaaaazy week. Actually make that weeks. School has been running me into the ground, though fortunately it's not as bad as last year. Last Tuesday the new debate teacher organized a mock tournament for the novices, which had all of the JV and Varsity judging rounds till about 8:30 that night. In all actuality it was probably more benificial for us than it was for the novices. Turns out that I had some pretty accurate assumptions about one novice as far as speaking style. He'll do really well in the events as long as he can add more of a humoristic elemnt to his speaches. Stacy and I went on a food run (with an order list a page long) in the middle of the tournament, which was all fine and dandy until we tried to drive back. Alisha's truck, which up until that point had been working fine, suddenly decided to leave us with a dead battery; which left stacy and I stranded in the middle of the kohlers parking lot, with no phone or any numbers to call, and no knowledge of the car we were driving beyond basic operation. With the rationale of "this is Alisha's dad's truck. It's a manly truck, meaning that there has to be a fair amount of tools and such, meaning that there has got to be a set of jumpercables somewhere." I searched for such, while stacy, dubious of my reasoning, watched with a grim expression on her face. Not two minutes later I found the cables inderneath the back seat (at which point gloating ensued) and stacy and I set about connecting them. Fortunately the owner of the car in front of us came out and gave us a jump. Once back at the school food was handed out and hungry people were saved. *strikes a pose*
...yeah. Wednesday, due to the late run of the tournament, was not met with the greatest preperation and I nearly died my first two periods. Gov & pol was glossed over rather easily, but drama was a nightmare. We had monoloques due to be preformed and mine was a sad sorry excuse for such. PE on the other hand was actually a welcome relief. It's a rather small class and the teacher, Mrs. Hansen, was burried in homework to be graded and had not slept the night before, so we managed to convince her to let us all have a relaxation period(ie. she puts on some soft music, turns off the lights, and we sleep the entire period), in exchange for us helping her grade the remaining papers.
After school Becka and I went to kohlers and got horchata for us, Mike, and Adam. After we delivered them we hung out fro a while watching them rehearse for Les Mis (which is going to be incredible). After a while I went into the drama room and listened to Cam play piano, tried to figure out a crazy riddle that the insane old janitor gave us, and generally fooled around until becka came back.

gotta go, I'll finish this later

Soo... I'm turning 18 on sunday O_o
yeah, it's weird for me too.
Anywho, I want to have a big party/get together thing as I haven't seen everyone in ages. I'm thinking of a friday party followed by a sleepover for all those who can (unfortunately any guys interested in sleeping over are out of luck). I'm deciding between this weekend and next weekend. I really want to make it so just about everyone can be there so please tell me which weekend will be better for each of you. Also, I am compiling a memory book of sorts so if you can think of any odd or funny or memorable times (such as the time Austin snorted pixie sticks at a halloween party, or the time jenn was a cheerleader, etc.) I would love to have your additions.

Sadies

So yup^^
I just got back from our sadies day activity (and yes I am aware that today is thursday)which was totally awesome. We have a huge group (7 couples) and we all piled in my van and went to a corn maze. We spent maybe 15-20 minutes actually in the maze, and then spent the rest of the time doing the little side activities. I got almost completely buried in corn (which I ended up shaking out of my clothes for the next hour), we all rode pedal cars, Sam Coons (my date) and I figured out all of the no left turn mazes, and we all sat in the cow cars. After that we all stormed Kohlers and sat in the parking lot drinking hot Kohlers chocolate and eating donuts. *grin* We still have absolutely no idea what we're going to do on saturday for dinner though. knowing how our group has been handling it, I don't think we'll know what we're doing untill about noon on saturday.
In other news the spirit bowl is tomorrow and I'm doing the flour toss contest. I just know I'm gona be white all day. I was supposed to go to a meeting tonight for all the competitors (imagine that, organization in the administration for once), but I couldn't make it. this is going to be both the principal and vice principal's first spirit bowl, meaning that it will determine whether or not we do them again. It was pretty funny today as someone (assumedly from AF) burned, then spray painted a red A on the football field, much to the outrage of certain people who will remain nameless. Dr Coop strongly discouraged any physical retaliation, but gave us all permission to verbally bash AF as much as possible at the game. in all reality I assume both will come into play, but it was nice of him to take time to warn us about it.
anyways-to bed

life update

I finally have the chance to actually post. The past month or so has been really busy/chaotic/tiring/emotional/extreme/add any appropriate word here. School has been going relatively well, and my grades have fortunately remained high. I tell you what Mrs. Woolsey is a saint. Were it not for her 2:45 homework policy there's no way I'd ever get any sleep. The past 2-3 weeks Cory and I had been working on our scene (Hamlet, a.4 sn.3) in any spare time we had. Which, considering Cory was involved in ensemble and in Les Mis., and I was involved in debate, MUN, and home stuff, was quite a problem timewise. Cedar city was awesome as always, though there wern't quite as many DTR's as we had predicted. Competitions sucked and we all got pretty screwed over by the judges. Cory and I got scores of 3rd, 4th, and first for ours.
And now life would be back to normal except for the addition of my grandpa's family coming to stay with us. For clarification, my grandpa works in Mexico a great deal for buisiness and met and married a lady named Maggie, who has 4 chilrden ( Chris-14, Ana-12, Chewi-10, Maggie-8). They're living with us fro a while while they buy a house in Cali. The only problem with their stay (besides clashing of personalities and rooming issues) is the fact that Chris is the only one of the children who speaks English. Maggie (the mom) understands a far amount of English while my dad speaks Spanish, so we fortunately have a fair amount of interpreters. On top of that I'm remembering words from 8th grade spanish, and have started (by no will of my own)speaking in a spanish accent while at home. Such has been really weird, especially as I have pretty much no idea what they're saying to my face, let alone behind my back.
And on that note bed calls and sleep is of great importance right now.

Thursday, September 15, 2005

For once I actually have the time and energy to post. Hopefully I'll have time to post more, but I'm not promising anything.
This week has been absolutely insane as far as school goes. So far I have stayed after school every day this week for debate, club stuff, and Shakespeare practice, except for today and I am absolutely exhausted. I'm really looking forward to this weekend as I might actually have a chance to sleep. On the other hand I'm really liking my scene with Cory for shakespeare. We're doing
Oh, and I've also found a singer that I've really liked as of late. Eva Cassidy is absolutely amazing. I tell you, I could listen to "honeysuckle rose" on a nonstop loop right now.
Also, the stork just came to my house. Ok, so it was a foster care caseworker, but the package was the same. We're taking care of this 3 week old, 6 lbs, baby boy named Parker while his family works out custody issues. It'll be weird having a baby in the house again, particularly one this small (smaller now than any of my siblings were when they were born) but it'll be a neat experience.
*crosses fingers*

gnar...

Yeah...7 days into school and I still haven't adjusted to doing homework. Which I should probably be doing now...
This year is gonna be a killer for me. I'd be fine if it was just my classes and homework but, unfortunately, I felt the need to become heavily involved in a bunch of clubs. As of today I am now the co-president of MUN, the President of Mock Trial, president (?) of ethics bowl, Secretary for Drama counsel, and Interp and Oratory captain for debate, as well as mommy to several novices, not to mention any others I sign up for this week.
All this also means that my cost of living is dramatically increasing, with no time to get a steady job. At this point I will most likely end up selling stuff off of eBay (fabric and jewelry for the most part) starting sometime next week (wish me luck).
On the plus side I am actually really excited to be back in school. I absolutely love Lit with Woolsey. I don't know what Lone Peak would be without her. Smith's class is also a joy to behold, particularly due to the amount of friends I have in that class. I'm Uberly excited for Shakespeare this year (tryouts=tomorrow). Smith was talking about doing an all female Julius Caesar catfight type scene and I hope he does it. Mike and I were joking that it should be a in catholic schoolgirl-esqe style, reasoning that we would win over any male liberal judges that happened to be there^^;
In other news we might be foster caring for a newborn little boy sometime soon. We've been short on news as far as where and when we could come and get him but hopefully we'll know in the next couple of days.

Summer stuff

Quick announcement;
My family and are going up to Echo Lake to go jetskiing this weekend and my mom suggested I invite people to meet us up there. Echo is absolutely perfect at this time of year and would be an awesome place to spend the weekend. If you have a PWC license you are more than welcome to ride on the jetski's we have (unless you are 18 or older) but it would be awesome if we can get more Ski's or boats or such if your family is interested in coming. My family is planning on heading up there either thursday or friday and are planning on staying till saturday night. I know not everybody reads this journal so feel free to invite more people to come if you're interested.

*prances* I got my AP results today! Surprisingly I actually managed to pass two of them. Psychology was pretty much a given, but I never expected to pass AP US, especially not with a score higher than a three. For art a scraped up a two, but I really didn't expect to pass that one anyways. So yes, Ani = muchly happy.

In other news, I got distracted and this came of it.

Report From Nationals

So I'm sitting here on the bed typing this from Delaware. It's been a weird trip so far. We left Utah at about 11:00 Saturday night and arrived in NY at about 5:15 (3:15 Utah time)in the morning. Sunday was pretty miserable driving around. I've also come to the conclusion that I HATE humidity. My hair has been frizzing like no other and I can't breathe. We left Addison, Clark, and his dad in philly yesterday, then we drove to newark Delaware, just about 45 minutes from our rounds, versus staying in philly like most everyone else, a 2-3 hour drive.
We had our first rounds today. Some of the HI's were absolutely amazing. Unfortunately for me standing wise, one of the guys in my last round was the 2nd or third place winner in HI last year (for those of you who have seen them, it was the guy who preformed "click clack moo, cows that type"). The only problem was that there was no air conditioning in the rooms that I was in, so I nearly died of the heat. For prelim rounds we only have three rounds left tomorrow, but it should be interesting to see if any of us make it into qualifying rounds. From what my dad heard from Addison's dad today, they have a pretty good chance of making it into qual rounds. I just hope for all of our sakes that there's air conditioning tomorrow or we may not last another day.
We also spent time up at my grandparent's place (who live in delaware) and have so far preformed my HI for them three times. Madi, the little girl my grandparents are taking car of, loves goldilocks and the three bears and kept asking to see it again. I felt much like a dancing poodle in a circus.
As for right now it's time for me to head to bed but I should be able to post/answer e-mails tomorrow and after that if we can get internet connection in philly.

Numb

I really don't know what to say or how to feel right now.
I don't know how many of you know the Banta family (Chantelle, Devon, and Zach were all at lone peak last year). Mrs. Banta was good friends with my mom in High school and they have remained friends to this day.
Earlier today my family got a call from a very frantic Mr. Banta, desperate to talk to my mom, who is an RN. My parent's weren't home so I asked for a message. I was told that Ammon, their 5 or 6 year old, had been in an accident and was really hurt. I called my parents, relayed the message, and thought pretty much nothing of it until my parents called back. my dad informed me that Ammon had been riding a go-cart down their very steep hill and had crashed. I was told that he was being flown to Primary Children's and that his was not breathing and did not have a pulse when he was picked up. My dad said that he and my mom were heading up to Primary and asked if we would go over to their house and make sure the kids were all ok and see if we could do anything to help. We walked into an empty house. Chantelle had apparently driven all the kids up to Primary (which, knowing Chantelle and how she reacts to traumatizing stuff, must have been a very rough ride)
I just barely received a call from my dad telling me that Ammon had died. Apparently he broke his neck when he hit and died almost instantly. And all I can think is that he's my little brother's age, who I can easily see in the exact same circumstances. I don't know how I would be able to handle it if it had been Samuel, or Miri, or Thomas, or Joseph in that situation. To top it all off my parents and I are supposed to be leaving for Philladelphia tomorrow for the National Debate Tournament, and I don't know if my mom will be coming with us. It's scary for me to think that instead of attending a graduation party tomorrow, I might be attending a funeral.

So yeah. Today was not a good day. I signed up for packets at ALLC on tuesday, pretty much finished one today, went to finish it/test at ALLC and I didn't have time to test. not good. My mom reamed me good about having a whole weekend wasted as I didn't get another packet, plus I was stuck in rush hour traffic on the way home, plus I hate ALLC. As I have to do 28 packets this summer in order to graduate next year, it's highly unlikely that I will be able to spend time with anyone. Gnar.
I feel really bad about not hanging out with everyone. More than half of my friends just graduated and I will likely not see them much in the coming years, if I see them at all. I wasn't able to make it to graduation as I didn't have a working car at home, which I feel horrible about. *sighs*

Personal Philosophy

For my final in US history I'm required to write up a personal philosophy. I've just spent the last few hours doing it and am actually pretty proud of it as a rough draft. Any corrections would be welcome, as well as comments on whether or not it is "me".

At first glance I am 17 year old girl with blond hair and green eyes. Surrounded by people and looking like a whirlwind in all the activities, friends, and individual pursuits. In a word, I am eclectic. Every compassionate word, supportive family member, generous gift, willing help, and tolerant friend I have ever been gifted with has been tornado-spun into who I am today, and who I will remain throughout my life.
Like that self-same tornado, I am constantly in motion, and most likely will be until the day I die. I love seeing the world from every angle I possibly can, wether it be through the window of a tall skyscraper in a busy city, or looking up at the sky, lying in the long soft grass of a mountain meadow. I live in a state of constant wonder at the world, then riotous insistance that I can do anything it can do. I believe myself physically invincible and am sure to declare a rematch when bested in any trial of strength. When told I cannot do something it becomes my highest priority to prove that statement wrong. However, when a pursuit loses its challenge I soon become bored, running off to meet my next adventure with open arms.
I thrive on tension and believe I work best under pressure. I cannot think of a big school assignment that was not done in the haste of a frantic burst of energy right before its due date. I procrastinate like no other, and can constantly be found in the middle of the night by my computer, typing away. Somehow I manage to scrape while remaining in a constant state of crisis.
In my youth I had a dress up box containing every possible costume you could imagine. If I didn’t have a specific costume for the person I wanted to be, I made one up. Though my dress up box has been passed down to my younger siblings, I have never grown tired of becoming something else. I feel at home on the stage, whether preforming in front of thousands of people, or sitting by myself, looking out into an empty audience.
In my life I have dreamed of becoming an Olympic Gymnast, a Nurse, a Military Officer, a Dancer, a Stand Up Comedian, an Astronaut, a Firefighter, a Politician, a Psychiatrist, a Lawyer and a Motivational Speaker. For the future my life will most likely fall into one of two extremes. One, I go off to college, meet the man of my dreams, live as poor as church mice, forsake my career to raise a family, and look back on that choice with no regrets. Or two, I become an old maid, growing older and richer every minute, delighting in saying whatever I feel like, while knowing that my family has to put up with me so I will generously pay for dear Suzie’s piano lessons.
The latter might be a bit of a problem as I am not what you would call cultured. All the fancy appearances and the hierarchal games of society matter nothing compared to the tiniest tear shed by a loved one. No sprig of parsley or fancy arrangement of a plate of food makes a difference to me unless it tastes as good as it looks. I believe that no person is too far gone to be loved and to give love. I’ve seen the face of a relative on the news in handcuffs, accused of being a villain, and now can see the world of the media with more objectivity.
It is my ultimate dream, regardless of whatever else happens in my life, to one day, after my death, pull down the book of time and see how my small whirlwind life changed the course of a universe. Chaotic and strong, joyful and blunt, I hope to have truly lived.

I had my dad read it to editi it before I finalized it. He had tears in his eyes as he told be that I've gotten a lot of my personality from him. A chip of the old dust devil in a way.

The Keys to Your Heart



You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it.

In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.
