A classic quote by Alanzo

Mrs. Osborne: "Have you guys ever made a homemade gift?"


Fonze a.k.a. long cat: "Yeah....I made an ash tray for my mom when she smoked...she doesn't smoke anymore."

Rain rian go away come again another day.

    I LOVE the rain but I HATE storms. I love to curl up in bed and watch movies all day and listen to the rain hit my rood, but can I do that today ... of course not I have to walk around IN the rain at school. Rain just is not fun when you are miserably walking around in it and have to sit in your class...wet. It is just not my idea of fun. At least I get to wear my cute rain boots.... that is probably the only upside to having to go to school in the rain. ok that is my rant session on rain.

25 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!

"You know what, you can’t see it, but underneath my sunglasses, I’m rolling my eyes."

- Peyton Sawyer

What do you do on bad days?

    Well I don't speak to anyone, I eat... a lot, and I sleep... a lot... oh and cry.... a lot.  Today has just been one of those days. Everything has gone wrong. I have way to much stuff going on in the next two weeks at school and i am stressing out. I do NOT handle stress very well. My grades aren't so hot either. I feel like a crazy person. I just don't function well when I am busy and stressed especially about my grades and projects. If  I am M.I.A. in a couple of days...do not be alarmed I am probably just curled up in a ball under my covers having a panic attack. No need to fret though after next friday I will have fully recovered. :)

Christmas is in the air

 
     I've been pumped for christmas for the past two months, but now I can't contain myself. It's only a few weeks away! All the christmas decorations are up around town, all of the stations are playing christmas music and christmas trees are being sold. This morning I jammed out to my christmas pandora station while getting ready for school and to sunny 93.3 in my car . I seriously can not wait. Christmas is my favorite time of year. The decorations the time spent with family and friends, and the gifts. :) Just the total environment.
  
     The christmas season just puts me in a better mood for the most part. It was also my dad's favorite time of year which is kind of rough. He would always go out of his way to get me everything I wanted. We always picked out the tree and decorated the house and listened to our favorite charlie brown christmas cd. It is definitely not the same without him. It makes christmas a lot harder on me knowing that I cant spend it with him but at least I have the memories and that make it better.
    
     This year is my first year to be home for christmas since the 3rd grade. It's going to be a little weird. I'll be in a new house, and it will just be me and my mom. It could get a little interesting to say the least.


    The countdown to the 25 days of christmas on abc family starts wednesday 12/1 @7c with How the Grinch stole Christmas. I can not wait. It's a classic. My christmas voice recital piece this year is actually from that movie. Kind of a coincidence....or maybe not.


    My last note on christmas is the stress. Oh my goodness I have so many people I have to get gifts for and I have no earthly idea what to get them. This could be a problem. Especially my mom. She always says she doesn't want anything but I have to get her something. It would be terrible if I didn't get her anything. I'll think of something.


    Well everyone get in the spirit. Put up the tree, crank of the christmas carols, and cuddle up by the fire and drink some hot chocolate!!!

"At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes... all you need is one."

"People always leave" -Peyton sawyer

There are always going to be times when you feel all alone. I know I feel alone all the time even, when I'm not. I just have to constantly remind myself that no matter how alone I feel that I have the Lord and that is the only person I really need. There are always going to be people that you know and love that are one day just going to walk away from your life. You will never know why, it just happens. I know I ask myself why? all the time. That question will never be answered. People come and go and that is just the way of life. They may be your best friend one day and your enemy the next. When one door closes another one opens. When one person leaves another person comes, you just have to always keep that in mind. Never ask yourself if it was your fault, if they leave they will never know what they are missing out on. That is their loss. I've definitely learned this from experience. I have lost so many friends with the transferring of schools, joining show choir, and changing myself for the better or worse ... I'm not real sure... but I have gained so many more friends that I love so much and could not live without. Always keep in mind that people can always come back but only you can let them back in and give them a second chance. Wether or not you do is your choice. Just make sure you aren't going to regret it. They can't change the fact that they left only you can change the way you want the relationship to be when and if they come back.  

Give thanks

Happy thanksgiving!

Today I am THANKFUL for my friends and family. I love them all so much. God has blessed me with an amazing supportive family that is always there for me. They are so precious to me. Also for my friends who are always there for me no matter what. Through the thick and thin I know I have so many people I can count on. The last thing I am THANKFUL for is my Tupelo family. Since all of my family lives out of town we have built up a little family of our own in Tupelo and I seriously do not know what my mom and I would do without all of them. There are so many people that I have made such an impact on my life. Some friends newer than others. I would not be the person I am today if it were not for ALL of these people. I love you all so much! I THANK God for each and every one of you everyday. I am truly BLESSED. 

Gods special gift called grandparents

This year my family is sending thanksgiving at my grandparents in Florida. I love my grandparents. They are the coolest people ever. They are always going on all kinds of trips across the world and taking me on trips and buying crazy gifts for all of us. They are so amazing. My grandmother is awesome. She is always wanting to go shopping or do something... it is never a dull moment with momo. She is just one big ball of joy. She is such a special lady. Coach on the other hand gets dragged on all of the trips. He is a lets eat a donut, drink coffee, and sit in the recliner all day kind of person. He is seriously one of the funniest people you will ever met. He is such a sweet little man. I don't know what i would do with out my grandparents. I am so blessed to have them. They would do anything for me. They are precious and I am so thankful for them!

Live life like today was your last

So over the past couple of years I have had a lot of things happen around me that have made me want to always live life to the fullest. You never know what is going to happen to you. ALWAYS take chances. Don't let a simple fear get in the way of enjoying a great time with friends. Just trust God and everything will be ok. Live with NO regrets. If you knew this was your last day to live what would you do? Always keep that in mind. Spend tons of time with your friends and family. I seriously am always with a friend. I just love being around my friends. We can just be hanging out watching a movie or we can be doing something crazy it doesn't matter as long as I am with them. I also love spending time with my family. Since of my family lives out of town I cherish my time with them. I also have my tupelo family and I seriously don't know what I would do without some of them sometimes. No matter what is going on live life to the FULLEST because you NEVER know what day is going to be your last.

Romans 12:2

"And do NOT be conformed to this world but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind..."

Here's my story behind this verse. Every summer I go to a christian kamp called kanakuk. In 2008 I went to K-west which is the junior high kamp.  When you arrive you receive a devotional book (or a divo book as we call them)  that you use for the two weeks that you are there. Every day you wake up and go to breakfast and then come back to your kabin and have your quite time. Well each day you have a different bible verse to go along with the lesson you study in during your divo that you study. You use that verse ALL day long. You have to memorize it and recite at all of your activities. Up until this point my favorite bible verse was Psalm 100 which was the first bible verse I ever learned. When I opened up my devotional and read the sermon with this verse at the bottom of the page as our bible verse for the day, I fell in love with it. This applies to my life in so many ways. It really keeps me out of trouble for the most part. Every time I think about going somewhere that is questionable or whatever I just think of this verse and it helps me to follow the path the lord wants me to follow.

I made this bracelet this past year at kamp and there is rarely a day that I go without wearing it. It is my daily reminder to keep my eyes on God and not the worldly things that surround me.

Lions!

So for all of those people who keep asking why my blog is named what it is, it's named after a line from my favorite song by Lights. yes that really is her name. She actually wrote this song when world of warcraft was really big and that was her favorite game, but anyway here it is!

Give me a disaster, give me an emergency
Stand me at the head of the crusade without a remedy
Show me to the shipwreck, show me how your bones shake
And when I'm at the edge of sorrow's blade, show me how a heart breaks

Be steady on your feet
No matter the trouble you meet

Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

Find me at the bottom looking at the vultures
Standing in the heart of the disease following the hard curves
I'm looking for the thunder, I'm looking for the blackness
I'm learning how to get up off my knees and all it takes is practice

Be ready on your feet
No matter the trouble you meet

Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

I'm not the hunter, I'm not the marked
Just looking for wisdom in the dark

Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

cranium..basically the best game ever.

So tonight I played cranium for the first time. Oh my goodness  can I just say that is the best game. it is so much fun and entertaining. I seriously don't think I stopped laughing from the time the game started until it was over...even though my team lost (it was my fault). It definitely made my night. It is so intenese and you think it's going to be really dumb and boring but it is so much fun to watch all of your friends try to act, hum out a song, draw blind folded, and mold things with play dough. great great game.

Fall is in there air...it's only two months late.

Im getting really sick of this bipolar weather. one day it's 80 degrees and the next its 60. would the weather make up its mind already! this is getting a little ridiculous. I mean its has taken me 4 outfits everyday to figure out what i'm going to wear because i have to think about how its cold but then it gets really hot and so my outfit has to be versatile if I don't want to be miserable. This week the weather has stayed in the 60s which feels great. I loveeeee the cold weather! I just hope it stays like this and gets colder before christmas. Supposedly on thanksgiving its going to be like 75. thats craziness. I love being able to wear my patagonia a scarf and my uggs everyday and getting to wear all of my cute pea coats. I just like being comfortable and wearing "cuddle clothes". that is my favorite weather.

Finally friday!!!

Why is it that whenever you have something to look forward to your week goes by ten times slower. This week  has seriously been the longest week ever. I have woken up everyday this week thinking it was the day after it already was. It's finally thanksgiving break. Im going to flo-rida! I'm so ready to get out of t-town. There is nothing to do. The only bad part is that the rest of my family is'nt coming until wednesday so i only get to spend like 2 days with them and i only get to see them maybe twice a year. o well at least i get to do some major shopping at a decent mall AND the food in florida is amazing!!! Hope everyone  has a great break!

Best friends , sisters, partners in crime ...

So last year (sophomore year) I moved schools. I wasn't that scared i was actually pretty pumped but i was worried about making new friends. The first day of school i met Tori Davis and she has definitely changed my life. We hit it off instantly. She was the first person that said a word to me when i walked into my first period ap world history class...with coach jordan. man was that a class. She made me feel like i had been there my entire life. she never left me out or anything. I remember for some reason i called her my stalker but im not really sure why now. I will say at first I was worried about making a new best friend because I had this girl that i had been best friends since i was four.Tori seriously is ten times better than any friend i have ever had.IShe is always there for me and i feel like she always has been. we are basically inseperable. we literally spend 24/7 together. yes we tend to have our disagrements but when your together all the time that is bound to happen. I seriously don't know what i would do without her. I love her so much and thank God for her every day!

On August 12, 2010 we had been friends for one great year and there are many more great adventures to come!

show choir show choir show choir

great eyshadow right?!?!?!

So it is only my first year of show choir and it has already taken over my life. I love it so much. I have made many new friends and gotten closer to old ones. I seriously don't know what i would do without some of those girls. We have such a great bunch this year. I have been so blessed to be a part of soundwave. Each girl is talented and special in her own way. Now I completely understand why all of my friends love it so much!  I can't wait until january roles around. I have to say our show is going to be pretty amazing ... not trying to brag or anything. On another note we had a makeup and hair class tonight. boy was that interesting. we look quite scary with the poofy hair and all of the makeup on. But i guess we have to "Rock what we got" so that people will "drive all night" to see us. :] 

HP7!!!

So harry potter 7 comes out tonight at midnight. i don't get to go until tuesday BUT the upside to that is that i'm going to see it in imaz 3-d! Im pretty pumped. I think every conversation ''ive held with anyone today has had a discussion about hp in it. Everyone should read the books and then go see it because you def will not fully understand it unless you read the books and the books are ten times better anyway. that's just my opinion though. well the bells bout to ring so i guess it's time for me to jet!

The start of a new obsession...or stress

So this is my first post and i'm already stressing out over this. My dear friends Margaret and Kara forced me to do this. I will probably end up being obsessed in the end but right now this is stressing me out. I'm not real sure what i'm supposed to write on here or do but I guess I will learn as i go. I'm sorry if this is broing you but I promise I will get better as i go.Thanks guys for getting me started on another something i have to keep up with. I'll thank you one day.
