Why, hello.

I haven't done this since October. I'm frankly a little embarrassed that I was ever obsessed with these. Computer Apps 1 boredom got the best of me, okay? But right now, I'm insanely bored & need something to do as an excuse to not start packing. We leave for Evansville, Indiana tomorrow. My dad's parents live there, and I haven't seen them since June. But I'm honestly dreading going. We always eat meatloaf cooked in water, play so many board/card games you will want to commit suicide, and this is the worst part, so get ready for it. They're carpet is, literally, the color of PUKE. Me and my mother always make fun of it. Wow, we're bad people.

Anyways? I don't feel like talking about all that has happened since October, and can hardly remember, or even giving highlights. So, I'm just going to say how my life is, as of now.

I'm single. Big surprise, I know. Kidding. I've kind of found a guy that's absolutely perfect. There are a few complications, but I think it's all going to work out. I just need to tell myself that friends are a million times more important than guys, no matter how perfect the guy is. Which is extremely, in this case. Ugh. :| But ANYWAYS, at least it's more exciting than my usually DULL love life. Yay for that?

OH. One new thing in my life, is my involvement in my youth program at my church. I go to Journey every chance I get, and IT. I feel like I belong there, which is an amazing feeling. Having a great place to go to worship God & be with others who want to be closer to Him is spectacular.

It's the end of 2009. WOW. I feel like just two seconds ago I was blogging about the end of 2008, on Myspace I think. (Which, by the way, I'm a Facebook gooroo now. Sorry Myspace. I had to move on.) Every year passes like the blink of an eye, which sounds extremely cliche to say. But it's the honest truth. I've met some amazing people, continued relationships with even more amazing people, and made memories that will last me forever & a day. I don't want this to be a blog about the year ending, because I will get carried away, ramble, and type until it's midnight. But, even though the years are flying by, I'm enjoying this passage of time, in every stage of life. <3

Yesterday was Christmas, which was magical, as always. On Christmas Eve, which is also my brother's birthday, we (as in my family, Allison, Christopher, & their dad) went skiing at Sugar. It was fun and exhausting, and just enough to make us want to fall asleep while opening our traditional "Christmas PJ's" when we got home. We slept soundly, and did Christmas in the basement this year, which was cozy. We had a fire in the fireplace, one of my favorite things ever. My "big" thing this year was a new TV for my room, which was definitely something I needed. Farewell to my little white TV that I've had since my 1st grade arts & crafts birthday party in my garage at my old house in Hidden Creek. I had all the keys on my remote memorized. BUT, although it's sad to depart, my new FLAT SCREEN fancy TV is amazing. I'm going to watch "Away We Go" on it tonight, which was one of my stocking stuffers that I have yet to see, even though I have to wake up insanely early to get in the car for a lovely 9 our drive. WOO. :D Amy spent the night last night. I know it was Christmas and all, but after around 6:00 when we had our dinner, we were done with our festivities and my parents didn't mind. And neither did Aims'. So, we had a night of laughs. "Goodnight my Japanese warrior, Ezum." Wow, maybe it was the spirit of Christmas that brought out Amy's hyperness of the days of 6th grade that I so dearly missed? Or maybe not. But I loved it.

So, I should probably start packing, considering it's almost 10:00, and I still want to watch a movie tonight.
Loved catching up & all. <3

Sincerely,
Liz.

off.

this is stupid. no one reads these. i'm off for a while. i don't care about this anymore.

sincerely,
liz.

special needs kids acting as janitors at lunch? comment/read.

woww. oh my goodness. it's been so long, and so much has happened, since i blogged last.

i don't even remember every weekend since then? so umm. i guess i'll just list some highlights/updates.

• me, ashley, my grandma (nanny), & my mom went to blowing rock in the rain, ate kilwin's, ate more, shopped some, and laughed the most i've laughed in one day..ever.
• HAH i went to ashley's neighborhood party last weekend, we had some fun. <--definitely a night i'll never forget. ;) :X :O
  
• i read & finished the count of monte cristo in english class! hah. i sound like a nerd for putting this on here, but it's actually a good book. and having to read like 70 pages every two nights makes you think about it all the time. haha.
• as for guys, i don't like who i thought i did. just got a bad vibe from him, even though it may be in my head. :|
  
• have so many guys i flirt with. and i like it that way. :) if something more comes out of that, then so be it. but i'm more happy single, than i've been in a while.
• started a new project in art. i'm drawing this dog/coyote thing. mine SUCKS. hahahaha. whatevs.
• i think i may be pulling up my grade in english? score. but tomorrow will most likely ruin that, since we have a HUGE test on the count that i have yet to study for (at ten thirty the night before). haha.
• mom went to vegas AGAIN. me & dad had fun chilling, driving around, going out to eat, and watching movies in the basement, as usual. <3
• going to church with amy sometime last week made me realize how much i need Christ back in my life. i have him in my heart, no doubt, but i miss the strong relationship that i've felt before. :/

ANDD by the way. amy brought this to my attention. and now i've noticed it & felt true sympathy about it since. okay, so special needs/E.C. kids clean up after us in the cafeteria every day. they wipe down the tables, take out trash & stuff, and mop/sweep. i think this is RIDICULOUS. they already feel out-of-it enough, why would you freaking make them be janitors at lunch? i think you'd try & make them feel as normal as possible. they are, after all, teenagers in high school too. even though they have learning disabilities or mental ones, they have personalities, social lives, friends, and feelings too. amy was saying that her sister, when she was in high school, asked the principal about it, & she had replied that these activities increased their skills so that, since they wouldn't probably be able to become things like lawyers, doctors, etc, they could at least have the abilities to get jobs such as janitors, & so forth. that is RIDICULOUS. that makes me so mad. i personally know 2 kids in the E.C. program, and they are hilarious and bring joy to my days. these two specific girls don't have to do the whole lunch-clean up thing. it's always the same ones every day. i don't know how they pick which kids? but umm. i think it's horrible. someone needs to do something about it, no lie. leave comments with what you think on it. some of my friends i've talked to about it agree with it, and think it's giving them something to do. tell me your opinion. :)

write sometime soon hopefullyyy?
sincerely,
liz.

another 'best weekend ever.'

i now have weird, strange, feelings for someone i never expected. ;) it's fun.

i am OVER a guy. thank goodness. hahahahahhahahaha and it makes me laugh.

anddddd. there are still two guys that i think are amazing, and they have no idea.

this weekend was GREATTT. haha, i went home with ashley, hung out with caleb & bryant, then went to the gameee. it was funnn. then i spent the night with her, then saturday. we...had some fun. hahahha. :X :O :)

wowww. hahah ANYWAYS! saturday night was a blast tooo.
i'm being very vague and stuff b/c amy's on her way to pick me up. we have to go get some stuff for a quick, last-minute twin day fixup! hahaha. because...

TOMORROW STARTS SPIRIT WEEEK! <3 which is prettty exciting. i think it goes:
monday-twin day.
tuesday-gender-bender day.
wednesday-sports day.
thursday-wacky tacky day.
friday-spirit day.
:D :D :D :D :D :D

i'm in a really "i love my life" kind of mood. even though it's not that great.
I'LL WRITE LATERRR.
sincerely,
liz.

jealousy.

so. today was like a closure day to me, in the best way possible. i'm done. i'm over it. i'm moving on. finally, and once and for all. hallelujiah that i heard just what i needed to hear to make it a done deal for me. thank goodness i'm no longer involved in something/with someone that would force me to change my morals to please this person. i thought i had more respect for him than he actually deserves from me. i care about him and will be there for him, but am SO glad that i now know his true intentions, and what really matters to him. if he truly cared about me, he wouldn't want to change me. goodbye. new chapter in this part of my life. :)

i know that made absolutely no sense to many of the ones reading, but hey. that doesn't matter. it felt good to say. so thanks, blogger, for listening. bahah, i'm pathetic.

ANYWHO.
today had a lot of exciting events. the top paragraph pretty much sums up one of them. another one, was that i got bitched out just for trying to stick up for my friend. hahaha. it makes me laugh that someone would be so insecure about themselves and so pathetic that they'd have to sit there & talk about people and say that they wish that person was dead. you just don't wish that on people. how immature, if only knew what she was actually saying.

other events of the day..civics, we played review games. art, we had a sub & we drew. (WOW, what a surprise! ha.) english, we had a sub & read and answered questions. spanish, we had a quiz & did arts and crafts pointless stuff.
boring day over all, in the "classes" category.

lunch is now not enjoyable really. i'm getting so close to bethany, because we walk from class to class together & talk about everything under the sun, and i sit at lunch with her. :) since ashley, sterling, hayden, zach, all themm..think they're so cool and don't want to talk to us even? haha. soooo. me her & luke and logan moretz have fun by ourselves. idk why that pisses me off so bad. but it does. they think they're so cool. whatever. haha.

SOOOOO. so many feelings/emotions in one day. tomorrow, is friday! hallelujiah. i'm going home with ashley, hanging out with caleb & bryant i think :D, going to the game YAYAYAY, then spending the night with ashersss. then saturday, i think we're going to nick's house, hahaha. so i'm pretty excited to meet him. then i'm spending the night sat. night AGAIN with ashley. hahaha, this is going to be such a fun weekend. i can't wait. <3333 :)

sincerely,
liz.

BYEEEEEE

tests galore.

so, LABOR day was good. (in my last post, i accidentally put memorial day, shut up)

me & my dad went to the lake with the jarretts. i ended up not tubing, because i didn't feel like getting KILLED. haha. and i'm a wimp. oh well. but it was fun riding in the boat and all that jaz.

today was a pretty good day too. i LOVE my classes this semester. like, i don't mind school at all really, besides the waking up early part. tomorrow i have 3 tests. :/ an art test, which should be easy. a les mis big test that i'm probably going to fail considering i forget everything from there, and a spanish test, which should be okay, at least.

i found out some of that news tonight where the person tells you, then says, "but you can't say ANYTHING!" haha. i hate that. :(

oh and BTW. i HATEE when people over-analyze things like texts and stuff. like no shut up, i just said it because i felt like it. it didn't mean anything. haha.

randommmm, i know. $#%!^!

-elizabeth grace <3

God's good.

SO. lots to catch up on. i've had a busy past couple of days. amazing, but busy. :)

thursday was school, ashley's house, jv game at home (where brian morrissette made me pee my pants almost), & home. pretty good day, i'd say.

friday, school, home for a second, went to see time traveler's wife with amy, ashley & her mom, then went to the game at west lincoln, then went to meredith's for the night! fun day.

saturday, i came home from meredith's, ate lunch, went to bojangles with my brother (who decided to come home again this weekend), then me and my dad randomly decided to drive up to blowing rock, which was amazinggg. we ate at kilwin's ice cream, which has the BEST ice cream ever, then walked around and stuff. then we stopped off of the blue ridge parkway at this place called "rough ridge." it was only like a 10 minute walk up there. and me and my dad went out on this rock that was off-limits and got some AMAZINGLY pretty pictures. (like the one above) it goes down as one of the most amazing views i've ever seen. so pretty. God's good. :D

today, i went to church, went to ernie's to eat with my daddy, then we went to get some keys made at home depot, got a CUTE license plate that says life's good with a flower on it for my carrr, & went to best buy for some x-box controller? now i'm at home. i need to read the count of monte cristo (sp?) and & clean. so i better get off of here. it's been an AMAZING weekend.

tomorrow we're going to the lake for memorial day with the jarretts. so that should be fun. :)

WRITE LATER!
-elizabeth grace <3

today, i...

random thought- i can't stand dishonest people. not saying i'm not guilty of this ever, but those who know EXACTLY that what they're doing is hurting someone, yet continue doing it, DISGUST me.

ANYWAYS! on a lighter note, today was a good day. :) i love it being just me & my dad. my mom left at like 4 in the morning for the airport, to vegas. i mean, don't get me wrong, i'll miss my mommy, but hanging out just me & my dad is the coolest thing ever. we always go out driving (now in my NEW CAR! what whatttt.) and go out to eat somewhere, or watch movies. ha, it's fun.

so, back to today..i drove my car to school today. ha, obviously with my dad in there. but uh, i drove! ;) civics was great, as usual. in art, i had to tutor people. WHAT. i know, i'm not even good? and she assigned me 2 people to help draw shapes and stuff. and i had no idea how to help them? i was like..uhh andrew, you may wanna help these 2 also, because they're probably learning SQUAT from me. in english, we did grammar & vocab, then discussed more of les mis. then we started watching the movie, which i've already seen. YAY he postponed the test until like friday, or maybe tuesday. (considering we don't have school monday, because of labor day! SCORE.) then in spanish, it was boring as usual. but me and chris always laugh so hard in there. but the people sitting in front of us like NEVERRRRR shut up. i'm sorry, i mean, i know i like to talk in class & all, but mrs. iriarte doesn't even like try to shut them up, she just goes on teaching while they're just having a full conversation and all. UGH & neither me or chris can hear anything. we're going to tell the teacher to move us. ha, that sounds way kindergarden, but it realy is ridiculous. believe me. after school, i went home with jenn today. :) ha, we just chilled & watched tv and stuff. then i went to fuddruckers when my dad picked me up for dinner. since i got home, i've just been chilling. YAY i got my homework done at jenn's, because she's the kind of person who does it right when she gets home (which i, um, NEVER do.) hahaaaaa, so i don't have any.

that's a pretty good description of my day. as far as boys and such, i'm confused. :O so yeah.

writeeeeee soon.
-elizabeth grace :)

my first car, etc.

random thought- i really don't like the aftertaste of coke. it's like, i want to drink it, then the taste should be gone once i'm finished with the drink.

so, tonight, was a monumental stepping stone in my life. why? I GOT MY FIRST CARRR :D to be honest, i'm so nervous about driving it once i get my license. it's so cute that i don't want to wreck it. ha, and knowing me. i will wreck sooner or later. just don't tell my parents that. :p but ANYWAYS! i don't get my license until, well march? but my dad thought this was a really good deal, and it's a toyota which seem to be really reliable? so. we went ahead and got it. it's the same one that i showed a picture of on my last blog (or it may have been the blog before that). sorry, don't remember exactly? but YAYAYAYAYAY it's so cute. i loveee it. and, it's the perfect size, is really cozy, and driving/parking it is sooo easy. i love the steering wheel. ha, it's the opposite of driving the freaking HUGE escalade.

i'll try to cover what i haven't wrote about. monday night, the football game, was fun. :) all of my friends & me kind of sit in the copas crazies section, i don't even know if you could call it that, but on the end of it at least? it's fun. football games are always the freaking shiznit. i spent the night with amy that night. ha, i was so tired by the end of the night that i couldn't help her on her algebra 1 part A homework. today at school, i had a pretty good day. i watched a move in civics, still worked on shapes in art (and am getting A WHOLE LOT better, SCORE!), discussed les mis in english, & did a quiz and like nothing else in spanish.

then, obviously, tonight i was gone for most of the evening. the dealership was like an hour away. so we went up there around like 5, got there at 6. didn't get home until like 9:15. it took longer than we imagined. because one of the locks or something is broken? ha. it's definitely used. but HEY that's okay. it's still SO cute. :) and i'm definitely excited about thattttttttttt. which is making me in a super good mood right now.

love life wise, umm. football games equals hanging out with friends, which means flirting, which means, uhh. i kind of "rekindled," if you want to call it that, feelings for a guy. i try not to use names & such on these kind of things, because that will cause nothing but DRAMA. but uhh, what's new? i'll always have feelings for this guy. but i really have no idea what to do. so right now, we're just keeping it kind of chill. not dating, not even really talking. just, like, idk. putting a relationship on postpone until further notice i guess you could say? so we'll see where that goes. :D plus i still kinda like two other guys. bahahaha.

WRITE SOOOOON!
-elizabeth grace <3

play that funky music white boyyyy.

so, wow i had one heck of a weekend. :) lemme share it with ya, as if you actually care! kay thanks.

friday- i had a really good day at school. i know i say this in every blog, but i LOVE civics. we do like nothing in there. but MEREDITH WILSON made me say the founding father of America was Abraham Lincoln! hahaha. :) art is surprising me even more. ha, spheres & working on our greyscale stuff was pretty cool. and michelle got moved to our table, so i have someone to talk to now. YAY. ha. english was okay, but grammar is NOT clicking with me anymore. last year, mr. woods was really good at explaining it, but friday i did NOT get it. haha. but oh well. hopefully it'll come back to me some? me and finley CRACKED upppp in spanish. hahah, long storyy. after school, of course it was supposed to be the first friday night football game. :O but thanks to lightning and rain, it got canceled. we ended up going to buffalo's, which was fun. :) ha YUM i love their wings. i just went home that night. oh yeah and stephen randomly came home? he just showed up at our door friday night. ha, it's pretty obvious he wanted to see allison. haha, but it was still nice to see him. it made it feel a little more like he was actually still on this planet. he thinks college is boring so far. i can tell it's been a little bit of a disappointment to him. hopefully he'll start to like it more? guess it's just a big change to adjust to.

saturday- it felt amazingly wonderful to sleep in again. i did nothing until the afternoon. then i went & got a snazzy pedicure with my mommy at future nails. ha, the people in there know us now we go so often. but anyways, she wanted nice-looking toes for vegas. yes, my mom goes to vegas to see barry manilow quite religously. get over it. :p then we stopped at jason's deli to get me some food, & at molly malone's. i love that little cute store. check it out. it has CUTE purses & jewelry. and shoes sometimes. i went to ashley's after that. i honestly don't even remember what we did for a while? haha. we just hung out i guess. later that night, her dad had all these guys from their neighborhood over for the UFC fight, so jake bechtol came over, since his dad did. :) oh and amy did too. so us 4 hung out in ashley's room for like EVER. haha and we gave jake a stripper tattoo. hahaha. then we had a dancing party in their living room with jake's drunk dad. it was a blastttt, i'm not gonna lie.

sunday- woke up at ashley's, hung out and did nothing. came home, and have been EXHAUSTED because of last night. i've taken like 4 naps. haha. but YAY good news. my dad found me a car that he thinks is a really good deal. :) i'm so excited. it's a Toyota Rav 4. and it's like a metallicy blue color. i'll get a picture of it..

and i think me & dad are going to look at it tuesday after school. SCORE. :D

tomorrow night, i'm excited for the home game (it got rescheduled to then). even though since it's a monday, it won't be the same, it'll still be fun. :)

overall concincus?
school's going great. i love my life right now. except my love life is still nonexistant. fml.

write laterrrr.

bad moods on thursday.

catch me, by demi lovato is on repeat right now. i love it. i never like her songs, but this one is an exception. check it out, listen to it, & love it.

the previous two days of school were pretty good. honors english II with williamson has definitely earned some points in my book. it's not too bad anymore. even though williamson is a control FREAK. ha, but oh well. i still love civics, and rucker. :) art is ehh, okay. we did a grayscale type thing today, i suck at drawing. hopefully we're graded on effort? spanish is okay. i made a 95% on a quiz today for putting the definition of contestar is "ask" instead of "answer." so yeah. fml.

sometimes when i come home from school i'm just in a HORRIBLE mood. ha, and today is one of those days for some reason? everything is getting on my nerves. like i hate being a bitch but i just can NOT help it this afternoon. i think i'm going to the JV football game with ashley, if she can go. and tomorrow's already FRIDAY. score. still haven't had any major homework. hallelujiah. i'm positive that will change before i know it.. :/

but ANYWAY. love life is boring, as usual. i'm just waiting for some one to surprise me. but i'm getting very impatient.

-elizabeth grace <3

first day of sophomore year.

random thought- you're just, familiar..ughhh fml. :|

ANYWAYS! first day of school today!

it went pretty good. i'm still sick. and have the WORST cough and stuffy nose/cold i think i've ever had in my life. i went to the doctor yesterday and got antibiotics. which should help. but today i was pretty miserable. because of course, the first day of school is all awkward and silent and so i'm trying to hold in my DISGUSTING sounding cough. ha.

for the classes side of things. honors civics- i can tell is just going to be a lot of notes and worksheets. but the people in there & the teacher seem good! i think it'll be fun. :)
art 1- i know like NOBODY in there. ugh. it's going to suck i think. idk. at least it should be kind of easy? even though i SUCK at drawing. haha. wow.
honors english 2- seems okay. but like it's going to be a lot of work/reading/tests. but i have good people in there. so that means friends for lunch, YAY!
spanish 3- will be fun i think! i have some fun people in there, and i'm pretty good at spanish. plus it counts for honors credit, yayay.

OH and homeroom is going to be the amazinggg. i have ashley & rachel in there. haha. and i have mr. blevins as my teacher. who i had last year for hon. geometry. i love him! ha. so that will be good, even though we only go there like once every 2 weeks. oh well :O

i'm starting to ramble now, and ashley is wanting to talk on aim, gotta gooo.

write sometime soon i hope?
-elizabeth grace <3

laughter, and a hilarious video of my cat.

makes hard times seem like the best. :)

so, yesterday, we were up at Virginia Tech all day, setting up stephen in his dorm. my mom kept kind of making us linger, and didn't want to say goodbye. it was a hard thing to do, and i don't even know why? i know he'll have so much fun there. haha, and college just seems like the shit. i can't wait to go, ha. but it was just like, it will never just be the four of us again, in our little house on the hill. ha, this is sounding WAYYY gay, but idk. i got a little teary saying goodbye, i'll miss him. but i get to see him on labor day! :D surprise surprise, my mom won't. she'll be in vegas seeing barry. :|

anywaysss. so my mom's kind of depressed today. i'm just bored & procrastinating doing notes for summer reading. & my dad leaves for business and doesn't get back until wednesday. :/ he'll miss my first day of school. ha, but i don't care. me & him watched dances with wolves last night. <-- suprisingly, a good movie. it's an old western, which is usually not my taste, but it was really good. :) so, watch it sometime!

but anyways! back to the theme of laughter.. if you know me, you know i have a WEIRD sense of humor. but somehow, this video keeps cracking upppp me and my mom. this is the extremities of boredom at the bell's house today. bahaha. hope you enjoy!

almost a month's worth of life.

random thought-i wish i lived in the sixty/seventy's and was a hippie.
yayay i have a reccomendation a good song: "i will sing (along to this)" by shane piasecki.

ANYWAYS. how is everyone? gosh. it's been so long since i've done this.
i have just not been thinking about blogging, & it's been a good break for me.

there are too many things that i would never be able to think of or name that have happened since the last time i blogged. umm, i've had some good times with my friends, movie nights at meredith's, youth week, another trip to carowinds, many nights hanging out with dad, found meredith a boy, been to the lake a few times, became a better driver, got my schedule, quite CVYSA, got to spend time with grace!, went back to school shopping, went to the club alot, completed most of the big things on my summer list, etc.

i have been doing great. summer is almost over. for the first time i'm surprisingly ready for school. i want to see all the exciting people at school that i haven't seen all summer. it's really exciting. i've been finishing up my project. i'm almost done with my paper, but still have to some notes for the awakening. les mis was actually really good at the end, which was a shock.

OH! i better post my schedule on here. by the way, i only know my teachers for first semester, so yeahh. so here we go..
FIRST SEMESTER:
honors civics/economics- rucker
art 1- ennis
honors english II- williamson
spanish III- iriarte
SECOND SEMESTER:
honors algebra II
parenting/child development
honors biology
computer apps II

if you have anything with me or know anything about my teachers (if they're hard, etc.) then please post a comment telling me. :)

SOOO. i've mostly been hanging out with friends & family, what's new? haha. i've had a good summer. i'm thankful that i made the most of it, for the most part. oh i did a cool new blog, actually on myspace. i got the idea from some rising 9th graders. um, i pretty much just put down some stuff that i've wanted to say to people but never did, for whatever reason. and it's really a good feeling to get it out, and there's no names mentioned. and idk. it was just a cool thing to do. my brother leaves saturday for college. he's going to virginia tech. i'm going to miss him more than i'm expecting, probably. but i'm trying to accept change.

for now, comment me, & i'll post a new one, soon hopefully?
i'm going to try and keep up with this again.

until next time,

12 days.

random thought-i haven't blogged in 12 days. wow, that may be a record. :O

okay, so like i was saying, it's been quite a while. i definitely don't remember every day since the past almost two weeks, but i shall try as best as i can to outline the time we've missed.

umm, well. on the 18th me & ashley left for the beach! we went to Charleston, South Carolina, which is so pretty. i love that place. we stayed at a resort type thing called Wild Dunes in this condo. it was really nice. me & ashley had our own room & everything. we had a freaking blastttt. we went to downtown Charleston, shopped at the slave market (a flea market type thing), went out to eat almost every night, even though ashley hates seafood & orders bizzare things like pasta & chicken fingers at a crab house? hahah, anyways. we rode our freaking bikes EVERYWHERE, and tried to find cute guys the whole time, haha, went to the boardwalk and ate ice cream all the time, layed out on the beach (more like i layed out while ashley texted under the umbrella, haha), freaking played in the waves and picked up sand dollars like 2 year olds for hours, went on a ghost tour (A-WHOLE-NOTHER storryy, hahah), and "much, much more." <-- just had to put that.

the beach was a blast, but too short. we came back on the 22nd, which was a wednesday. so right now i'm looking at my calendar on my phone, trying to recall what i did every day, but i have no idea? so, here are some things that i've done since:

• me, amy, and ashley went to see i love you, beth cooper. it was a VERY funny movie. haha. then we spent the night at ashley's house. went over to brian's to swim, hahaha. that was an interesting night. the next morning i had another freaking ortho apointment, to get my bracket fixed.
  
• went to the club a few times, and also had a dentist appointment! no cavities :D
• me & ashley went to a crawdads game, and also a christian concert afterwards. we met up with sarah, mitchell & timmy. it was quite fun. and then, we went home, were in like a crazy good mood for some reason (;D) lost her mom! haha, had to drive around the neighborhood and try to find her, hide in a bathroom while ashley's brother was holding a bat, hahah, ends up she was at a friend's house praying. leave it to mrs. lisa. :D
• went to see the ugly truth with jenn, ashley, and mrs. lisa. it was HILARIOUS. went BACK over to brian's to swim, just chilled out. ate some amazing spaghetti that mr. steve cooked. haha.
• had an overly-burnt nose that is like scabbing up and peeling and being raw and being disgusting. ugh. it's horrible :/
• helped ashley with all of her guy issues and had some tears, productive tears. hahah.
• started les mis, and HATE it.

SO i can't think of anything else that's happend. tomorrow, i'm going to spend the night at meredith's & then we're all going to carowinds thursday! YAY. i'm excited.

i'll write sometime soon!
-elizabeth grace <3

rambling.

SO!
i haven't posted in a while,

i've just been chilling since i got back from virginia tech, which was pretty cool. it was BORING for me, but i think my brother is really going to love it there. it seems like a really cool place, like a little community or something, haha. i loved it.

but, i got back tuesday night, & spent the night with ashley that night. hah, we hung out with brian, watched silence of the lambs, and just chilled. it was a blastt. wednesday, i had an ortho appointment (my teeth hurt SO bad right now), then ashley came over for a bit, and later on we got ready & went to outback to eat dinner with mere & sarah. i spent the night at meredith's that night, and we hung out with finley (GAH it was gooood to see that kid! ha) and just talked & chilled. it was fun. today, we slept in late. i came home & watched SO much TLC. i'm burnt out now. haha. and i found out that BIG BROTHER 11 IS ON! me & my mom missed the first week, but YAY i'm so excited to start watching the new season. hah.

SOOO. i don't know what to talk about? i'm blogging less & less. and i may take a break for awhile. i have nothing to sayy.

-elizabeth grace <3

51st post.

random thought- i just got a faceboook!

so. i didn't actually realize that my last post was my FIFTIETH POST! woohoo. and so, i decided that i should celebrate my 51st post instead :) so, happy 51st post to me!
wow i have no life. i should quit blogging, i really should.

but oh well. it's fun kind of.

so. thursday night, ashley, jenn & sarah came over. we went to coldstone, teased sarah's hair, took tons of hilarious pictures, and did nothing in my basement. what's new? hah.
friday night, amy came & picked me up, and we went to chickfila. it was cow day :) which means you can dress up as a cow & get free chicken. but i didn't know about it, or i would've totally done it. gay. then we just went to marshalls & old navy for the heck of it. then i went back to her house & spent the night. today we went to ernie's to eat lunch & we were going to swim, but amy (RETARD) got two bottoms of a swimsuit. so, i just came back here to pack.

yes, i'm going away AGAIN tomorrow. to virginia tech for my brother's orientation. but i'll get back tuesday, so it won't be for long. but i haven't done anything with meredith in like FOREVER. and i miss the hell out of herrrr. & her making me laugh. haha. so i may like go to the movies or something w/ then tonight, if i can.

but i'm really excited about the beach, & it's getting closeee. we are only staying for like four days? which kinda sucks. but oh well. it'll still be fun. :D

i just got a facebook. add meee!

i'll write later/tomorrow/whenever i get the chance.

random daily blog.

random thought-i love the whatthebuckshow, on youtube. & adding random people on myspace with sarah. hahah.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
i haven't been blogging very frequently lately, because of all the trips/busyness. but today is going to be very chill. it's 4:13 & i'm still in my pajamas. which feels amazing. i want to go layout, because i need to keep up with my tann. & i think ashley and jenn are coming over later. because if i don't do anything with jenn today, we won't see her for another likee, 2 weeks? since she leaves for the beach sat., and me & ashley leave for the beach the day she gets back. we'll probably just chill at my house, but i REALLY am out of the loop on the new movie thing. i still haven't seen transformers, or my sister's keeper. and everyone else has. so i kind of want to go to the movies. but i know jenn can't. so um, i guess that will be another night? i think i may go with my mommy.

i've decided, keller, texas is too perfect of a town, & one day there will be a reality show for that town. kind of a laguna beach type thing. bahhh, shnarkle.
PHONE'S RINGING. it's ashley. :) she always calls my house phone for some reason?
we found more random pictures when we were little. they're amazing. i would put one on here, but i forgot to save them. :+| <--these are my new smilies.

I'M DONE!
-elizabeth grace <3

home again, again.

random thought-oh my goodness. i love me & rachel's greatness. it just reunited & i love it. :)

i got home from west virginia at likee seven? it was an amazing trip. very chill & laid back, but fun and hilarious. wow. i'm done with my adjective fiesta for the moment. anyways. to overview the tripp..

umm, the first day which would've been friday, we got there, set up our tents, went down to the river, & just hung out by the campfire. second day, the big fourth of july, saturday, we went tubing down the river (shannendoah) with everyone, which is like a big tradition type thing. hahah, me & amy had fun with that one. then everyone got there, like all my other family that wasn't camping. & we had dinner, listened to corny USA music, and had the most amazing fireworks show everrr. i'm pretty much not sure what all happened on what days the rest of the time. but some things were: me & amy did animals (my aunt weewee is a petsitter) with my aunt, and went in spooky old houses of people we didn't know & saw a picture of a dead lady on a wall :O, went to the movies with stephen & allison and my dad and saw public enemy, (AMAZING movie, but sad) ate like pigs, sat around the campfire like all night & had long conversations, swam in the freezing cold river, hiked up the bullskin creek thingy, watched more movies at my grandparents house, gave stephen a makeover, got to know my brother's girlfriend a lot more, swam in my grandparent's pool, had smores every five seconds, and much more. haha. wow. didn't even realize we did that much. :)

i'm tired of typing & can't keep up with my conversations on aim while blogging.
so, i'm glad to be home & be in my bed for tonight, but i'm going up to virginia tech soon for an orientation type thing for my brother, which should be super boring for me, but who knows, and on the 18th, to the BEACHHH with ashley, so i won't be too bored for long.

i'll write laterrr!

"agnostic."

i was curious, when i saw this word on a few people's myspaces, because i didn't know the exact definiton. so this comes from dicionary.com,, and i have a few things to say.

agnostic--a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience.

this just shows, that you don't get it.
the power of Christ isn't just something you believe in, and something you know the facts about. not saying that these two things aren't important. but there's so much more to it.

& you know what that is? it's experiencing it. which isn't hard to do. experiencing the power of Christ & the power of the Holy Spirit is all around us.

i recently went up to detroit, michigan for a funeral for my uncle phil. i bring this up because this is the most recent time i've witnessed & experienced the power of Christ. my uncle had been battling cancer for a year, and through out this year, the cancer had spread from his tongue to other places. the conditions of his living grew worse & worse as this happened. he eventually was told that he didn't have much time to live. he ended up coming home from the hospital & living at home, while nurses & his wife and family cared for him. during this time, many people came to visit him and tried to comfort him. but even in the hardest circumstances and even in these horrific trying times, phil & his wife continued to comfort others. they reached out to others in their time of need, and never quit serving God. phil wrote many poems and things to leave behind, and some of them were shared at the funeral. one of them, that stuck out in my head, that his wife (my aunt) read, mentioned that he felt like he was chosen by God to be put in these circumstances, so that he can share, through his situation, the power of Christ, and His Word. he also mentioned that he wasn't sure why God chose him, and why He chose cancer, but he knew that it was his responsibility to influence others and bring others closer to Christ by what he was going through. somtimes i feel like i'm going through something hard, but then i look at phil. i can't imagine knowing that my time on Earth is limited. i can't imagine knowing that i'm going to have to leave behind my family & friends. and i can't imagine being in so much pain, yet believing firmly that the situation is yet a way to serve others, and to witness to others.

if "human knowledge is limited to experience," then so be it. then let's experience amazing miracles like these, and know that the cause to these miracles is unknown and unknowable other than the power of the Lord.

just something to consider & think about, just be open-minded. lord, how many times have I been told that? well, us Christians are not the only ones that are sometimes close-minded.

home, sweet freaking home.

random thought-i never realized how much i say y'all until i spent some time up in the north and got criticized every time it slipped out.

so, i just got home from detroit, michigan. (not the city part, just like, suburbs mostly.) it's SO great to be back in my room, which sounds weird. usually i'm so bored at my house, but it just feels great to be here now.

an amazing quote from the movie Juno:
"i never realize how much i like being home unless i've been somewhere really different for a while."
such a true, true statement. well, for me at least.

so, sunday we got up early early and left. it ended up being a 10 & 1/2 hour drive. on the way up there, it didn't seem like that long, surprisingly. we got there late, and went to applebee's for dinner & had the most annoying waitress of all time, & then went to a viewing, just the very last part of it. it was open casket. i've been to alot of those, but sometimes i just don't want to go up there. i like to remember that person as the fun & outgoing person they were when they were alive, not the image that will no doubt be stuck in my head of the person's body in a coffin. freaky. anyways, we went back to the hotel and went to bed, exhuasted from the drive.

monday, we got up early again & got ready. four people in one hotel room isn't fun. oh well. and we went to the funeral. it was a beautiful, amazing service, in a way. i cried my eyes out, and not even because i was that close to Phil, but i just could not stand to see his daughter, son, & stepdaughter & wife being so torn up. i just couldn't imagine being in their situation. i can't imagine losing my dad, or husband, or anyone that close to me. i don't know if i could do it. but alot of pepole stood up & told their memories of Phil, or stories they shared with him. it was so sad, but in a way, it showed how much glory his life gave to God & how much love he gave to others.

today, tuesday, we got up early (once a-freaking-gain) & started the drive home. we stopped in ohio at one of my mom's barry (manilow) friends' house. & i met her. and then we went to lunch with her & her husband. it was nice. then we came the rest of the way, and it was agonizingly (idk if that's a word, & idc) LONG. i justttt got home. & that brings us full circle. hah.

tomorrow, i may go to kool park with some people. i want to in a way, b/c it'll mark off one thing on my list, and i like the high dive. but in a way i don't, b/c it gets boring fast, i'm exhausted from the trip, the slide there gives me bruises on my hip bones, and i really want to see amy holder. hah. so yeah, i haven't decided yet.

i'll write tomorrow maybe?
-elizabeth grace <3

michigan, here i come.

random thought-i think i'm starting to get a cold. :/

okay! so wow. like i say all the time it seems like, my summer has been busy. and i haven't even gone anywhere? hah. but it's still been a BLAST so far. to catch up of course?

thursday- me, mere, jenn, sarah & bethany went to lake hickory with mere's dad. she has the coolest boat ever.. and this is my third? i think, time wakeboardig. i did reallyyy good :) i got out of the wake! lord i love it so much. we had such a great timeee. jamming to boom boom pow on the boat. b/c jay loves that song so much. haha. it was a blast. that night i spent the night at mere's, what's new? her house is like a second home to me lately.

friday-woke up at mere's, hung out. then my mom came and got me. jenn picked me up later on, and we headed BACCKK to meredith's for a pool party.. it was funn. ;) haha. we all spent the night, and i wasn't feeling too good later on. so i went to bed early.

saturday-my dad picked me up. then i went out to eat & to get a pedicure with my mom. i drove. we didn't get in that many fights. hah. i went through some OLD pictures today, and put alot of them on my myspace. it brought back some amazing memories, to be honest. then i packed for michigan and stuff.

which brings me, to say. my uncle, my dad's sister's husband, died yesterday at like 5:30. he was in a lot of pain, and i know that he is in a much much better place now. he has been battling diseases, including cancer, for a while now, and i know it was time for him to go. he was too young, and we will miss him so much. i wasn't as close to him as some of my relatives, but i will always remember the great times i did have with him. <3

so, tomorrow, we are heading up to michigan, (ELEVEN HOUR DRIVE :|) and the funeral is on monday, and then tuesday we'll head home. i know it will be quite a depressing trip, but i can't complain. there are others in alot worse of a situation than me right now, including my aunt & cousins. i feel so bad for them.

i was telling my mom & dad the other day recently..i have done ALOT of traveling in the past few years just for funerals. i hate it. it's like, oh yay you get to see everyone, but NOT in a good circumstance at all.

on a MUCH MUCH lighter note, friday of next week, i leave for west virginia with AMYYY :D i know its not that much of an exciting place, but me and amy will make it funnn. we'll be there for the fourth of july, & that will be interestinggg. i'm sure it will be a blast.
then, in later july, i'm going to charleston, SC with ashley & my family. which will be amazing also.
so july is going to be a very very busy month. but a fun one. i'm excited, & i'll keep blogging throughout it of course.

write when i can, probably not until we get home.
-elizabeth grace <3

busybusybusy.

random thought-ashley, i think, is coming over tonightt! :D woohoooo!

uhh. i guess i'll review this BUSY week? hah.
monday, me, meredith, jenn & sarah went to zumba. it was so fun! and then we went to meredith's. we just hung out and stuff. me, bethany & meredith stayed up till like six, just because we couldn't go to sleep. hah. tuesday, we slept in, then all of us went to the club. then later that night, i went to jenn's house! hah. we dressed up like we were going camping, & then took picturess. like before and after. & idk. you just have to know kirsten jarrett. haha. :) then we went to sonic & just chilled. and today (wednesday), we went to the club AGAIN, and then i came home & like fell asleep in my pool. hah. now i'm on the phone with ashleyyyy.

i REALLY want to get my hair really short. and i'm going to. my mom was supposed to schedule an appointment for me today. i hope she did, i wanna get it real short.

i have nothing to talk about now, BYE!

father's day/the hangover, comment please!

random thought/song recommendation-can't go back now by the weepies. <-- check that stuff out. it's great.

so today would be father's day! i went hiking with my family at mt. mitchell. it was as fun as hiking can get. hah. and then we stopped on the way back & got some ice cream from this little place. it was fun. :) oh & this morning i made my daddy breakfast in bed. and gave him a carddd. homemade bytheway. hahh.

I WANT TO SEE AMY & ASHLEYYY :D now that they are home. hah. i miss them so much. they are my bestfriends of all time.

saturday-i pretty much hung out with my dad the whole day. went out driving & played guitar hero. then jenn came over to get ready. we had some trouble taping her fake boobs on. hahh. [long storyy.] and then we went to the movies with will & cody. we had to sneak into the hangover since it's rated R. [another thing off of my list for the summer! :O] it was HILARIOUSSS. most i've laughed in a movie in a longgggg time. but VERY raw and very bad. hah. awful. but oh well. it was so funny. me & jenn almost cried laughing in some parts. i love phil in it. if anyone else sees that movie, comment to this blog, and tell me your favorite scene/character/part/quote. :) kthanks.

just a quote/line from In Her Shoes, starring cameron diaz & another chick that has funny teeth. forget her name. but i was searching quotes from movies the other night, and came across this quote that i have always lovedddd. it's pretty long but for some reason i love it.

"i carry your heart with me. i carry it in my heart. anywhere i go, you go, my dear. and whatever is done by only me, is your doing, my darling. i fear no fate, for you are my fate, my sweet. i want no world, for beautiful, you are my world, my true. here is the deepest secret no one knows. it is the root of the root, and the bud of the bud, and the sky of the sky of a tree called life, that grows higher than the soul can hope, or mind can hide. it is the wonder that keeps the stars apart. i carry your heart. i carry it in my heart."
(this is also a poem, and idk the author, so sorry. hah, and i have that memorized. :F)

just a little note- :F that smiley, is a smiley me & ashley always do if we wanna say like, FREAK! to eachother. idk. it's just a thing. so yeah. memorizing that long ass paragraph is definitely a ":F" moment. i'm weird, but i know it. :p

uhh, this is my longest blog in a while. just needed to type i guess.
gotta go, talking to ashley on aim & neeed to catch up!

write later/tomorrow/anytime i get a chance. :)

-elizabeth grace <3

up all nighttttt.

random thought-ughh i hate mosquitoes! :|

sooo. me, mere & bethany are up. we've been up ALL night & we're staying up all today. it's one of the things on the list. earlier in the night, jenn, sarah, lindsey & shelby, & mere came over! we swam for a whilee and talkedd. then shelbs & lindsey left. we all chilled for a while. me, mere & bethany made up the greatest dance EVER to boom boom pow & have been videoing it all night. then we went outside & jogged down my longgass driveway, touched the middle of the road, came back up, stripped, ran threw the sprinklers & skinny dipped in the pool! then we sat in the grass & watched the sun rise. this has been the besttt night/day EVERRR! i love summer again. :) hah.

and now i'm trying not to fall asleep, so yeah. i figured i'd blog.

peace out girlscout. :]
i'll write later today!

-elizabeth grace <3

bethany, you meat-loving carnivore!

random thought(s)-i'm in the mood to texttt. hah. oh & survivorman is a REALLY good show! & i miss amy and ashley. alot.

so, last night's party was okay! it got boring towards the end, and some random drama came my way? hah. wow. so gay. but the slip & slide was fun, and it was great to see some people! i realized how much everyone is changing & growing apart, like. i really didn't even feel like i knew a lot of the people there. i felt kind of out of place, but it was okay. that's how high school is..everyone has their own group & such. so yeah.

JENN & MEREDITH think me & sarah's blogs are gay..you know what? then DON'T READ THEM! hahah. ;) i'm only joking, but i know they are a complete waste of time. but oh well! they're fun to ramble on and just get stuff out. so whatever! hah.

this morning, i got up & went to church. everyone left early this morning, before i even woke up. but they all came up to my room to say goodbye. which was a little awkward. hah. but i'm going to see my mom's side at fourth of july soon. :) so that's good! church was all right, i really loved the music today though! something i learned/needed to hear.."reconciliation is the only way a relationship can grow deeper." and also, "my heavenly father loves me, and is proud of me, and i don't need to live up to the expectations of the world." that just feels great to hear.

later on around like two, i'm going to the lake with the jarretts! yay! that's going to be fun. :) tomorrow, i think cody's coming over to chill for a while! & i'm really excited about thattt..hah. i'm real real reallllll happy with that part of my life right now. :D
& i may have some friends over to spend the night monday, & i think we're chilling at the club tuesday!

AND yayyyy! at least one thing off my list..bethany ate meat last night! haha.
don't ask..

i'll write later/tomorrow!
-elizabeth grace <3

catching up.

random thought-I LOVE C.M.W. <3

ok. so the last time i posted was teusday? wow. okayy. cody's party was fun. :) i met his grandparents. and cousins. and it was just fun to see him excited. hah. amy spent the night that night! we just hung out (did i mention i love her so freaking much). wednesday, my grandparents & grace got here! amy left a little later. we went to the super market, & swam, etc. thursday, weewee got here! long story, but that's what i call my aunt. so get over it. :p oh & my dad's side of my grandparents got here. that day was graduation! we all went. it was really sad in a way, but just exciting too. can't believe only three more years for me-i better live it up man. (wow, that sounded so retarded.) oh & we watched jaws! hah. that movie is scary, no lie. friday, i swam, hung out with amy & went to wal-mart (and got in trouble for not texting my mom when i got there), and swam, & hung out with ashley later on.

soooo. i've just been chilling with grandparents/family and swimming/eating alotttt. because my mom made the most amazing chex mix you'll ever have. and all the food from graduation. i've been pigging out nonstop. summer's still really great, but i need to get OUT of this house soon. amy & ashley are leaving for the beach tomorrow for a week! i know they'll have fun, but i will misss them, considering i usually see them/talk to them like every day. but tomorrow i think my mom's gonna let me go to nichole's! which will be fun. i really want to see everybody. and i need to knock out some things on my list soon! it's already june 12th. :O i need to get on it. i think i'll read it again..

anyways! this is just a blog to catch up on what i've been doing the past few dayss..
my life will get tons more exciting when i don't have constant company at my house.

i'll write tomorrow maybe?
-elizabeth grace <3

today-i woke up late, yumm. then i found out, we're having a surprise birthday party for cody! :D well. his sister & mom got it together. but umm, i'm going to that around 6. i'm exciteddd! because i felt bad b/c my mom wouldn't let me have him over. but uhh, yeah. he'll be surprised, i'm sure.

i know this is random, but i love how things always seem to end up how they're supposed to be, in the end. <3

my grandparents are coming down tomorrow. and my little cousing graceee! :D gah i love that girl. she's only in like third grade? but we have so much fun togetherr! and my aunt, and everyoneee. i'm kind of excited. except idk if i can go to nichole's party sat. b/c of them being here. maybe!

random thought-shelby thinks i look like lady gaga? hahaha. <3

SO. yesterday i-hung out with aimster & ash all day and swam/layed out. then they left. later on amy picked me up & we went to a movie (dance flick which SUCKED & was a total waste of $8.50) & the rest of the world ended up going to. but it was fun. then i was on the phone for like 3 hours with cody talking about the most RANDOM stufff. then i went to bed.

today i-got up at like eleven (parents didn't wake me up for church for some reason) and then i just hung out for a while. then i went to ashley's. we went running like 2 miles. which was HOT as hell, and then we swam in brian's pool. hah. we ate muffins, played some guitar hero & just hung out. hah. i love her. :) i've been at home for like two hours just chilling now.

morals are definitely harder to stick to when they are challenged let's just stay. but i'm trying my best. lord help me..hah. but i think i can do it. we'll seeeeee.

but for now, i wanna get the geometry exam out of my way tomorrow. and it's "for real" SUMMMERRR after thattt! :D woohoo. so far, summer has been AMAZING btw.

plans for this week-geometry exam, maybe carowinds again?, doing something for cody's birthday, swimming galore, graduation, BOTH sets of grandparents coming down, maybe nichole's party, and who knows what else...busy week. i'm stokeddd.

i'll write tomorrow maybe!

the three musketeers/the tres amigos.

random thought- me ashley & amy are like the three musketeers. i love them. <3

so. it's two in the morning. amy & ashley are asleep in my bed. and 'm not tired. so i'm sitting on my computer & texting cohutta. :)

TODAY. i: -got up at like eleven thirty & ate some cinnamon rolls. -went to the grocery store, marshalls, old navy & target with my mom! i got some cute cheappp stuff.
-& then went and got amy & ashley and hung out with them & swam all day!

I SHALL WRITE TOMORROW.
-elizabeth grace <3

P.S. i'm just going to change my font randomly now. so my blogs aren't going to match. how awkard. wait, why would y'all care? hah.

carowinds/chat rooms.

random thought-i want a rice krispie treat right now!
i'm going against everything my mother taught me! haha. just kidding. but tonight, me and meredith were in a weird mood. and we were just like, let's find a random chat room online and talk to random people. (aren't we so smart?) haha. well. i found this random one, and me, mere & sarah ended up meeting all these people. it was SO fun. :) shout out to twistz from australia! hahhh.

anyways! its summer now! basically. even though i have to go to school monday, to take the geometry exam. still. it's pretty much summer. i want to go to the club tomorrow again. i need to get tan. big time. hah. & fast.

oh, goodness! i almost forgot..last night, i spent the night at ashley's. we went to carowind's todayyy! :D
it was SUCH a blastttt. we rode thunder road like ten times and took pictures on it. and it hurt my boobs so bad! hah. and we rode the borge twice (once in the pouring rain), top gun twice, went to the water park & did all the water slides, carolina cobra (the new one), the log ride twice, & got soaked on the observation deck thingy, ricochet, runaway reptar, & probably some more. but ummm. it was such a funtime. we met all these random people. this tour guide/survey guy, john from top gun (hahahha), & the kids on the water ride. hahhh. and we got the BEST picture ever. we bought the one from ricochet, with ashley's mom in it. hahahah. i would take a picture of the picture with my camera & put it on this blog, but i left it at ashley's house. so once i get it back, i'll upload it on here. it's the best thing ever. mrs. lisa's face is the definition of HORRIFIED. hahah.

so now it's two in the morning, and me & mere are messaging on myspace. nobody will text me back. because most of my friends have exams tomorrow. & i'm exhausted but don't want to go to bed.

NEW FOUND OBSESSION! just by the way. i absolutely LOVEEE nevershoutnever! :) just saying. my myspace song is them, and i downloaded a lot of their songs on my itunes. my two favorite so far are on the bright side & trouble. if you ever listen to them/love them, comment me & let me know!

i'll write tomorrow probably!

last day of freshman year/looking back/numero trece.

RANDOM THOUGHT- i ammmm in computer apps right now. :)
so. this would be my very last day of freshman year..
it's VERY bittersweet. i couldn't be more excited for summer, the days at the club, the sleepovers, completing all the things on my list, going to the beach, riding around & being crazy, and all the other things that come with summer, but this year has really been quite a journey. and there's only three more years left of high school.

cheerleading- football & basketball. was a blast. now i'm not cheering. who would've known? but i really think there's a reason for that, i mean God has one. i know He does. so yeahhh. but i have SO many memories with those girls, all the games & practices. <3

soccer- i didn't even know i was going to play, and now it's something i'm focusing on. it was a pleasant surprise this year to go back to playing soccer. :) & i LOVE the girls i met, it was a complete honor to be on the JV team. we won our conference, & i just had so much funnnn.

friends- i'm proud to say that i kept all my bestfriends this year, i didn't lose anyone on the way. and that's hard to do, believe it or not. there wasn't MUCH drama. which is good. i'm not the kind of girl who always has to have some kind of drama in her life. thank goodness. i met alloootttt of new people too. upper classmen mostly, and people who i just never knew in my grade. some of those amazing people that i got close to/met just this year are: shelby lail, brittany bramwell, emily beam, candace robinson, angela lo, megan grindstaff, jameel owens (all my spanish people), scott raby, bethany shafer, hayden albert, timotei!, erik ware, vang yang, paco, (& everyone in p.e.) brian morrisette, jackson hanigofsky, evan denzer (& everyone in geometryyy OF COURSE!)
& of course, the people who have STAYED by my side this year: ashley stinson, amy holder, jenn jarrett, meredith wilson, sarah cline, rachel stewart, cody winn, kirsten jarrett, & adele jarrett. <3

family- woww. my family is definitely my backbone. i'm kind of sad going out of the last day of my freshman year. i can't imagine my brother..this is his last day of high school EVER. wow. that's so amazing. and soon it'll just be me at home. but it's change, there's always something good that comes out of that. but back to what i was saying, my family has been my backbone, i tell them everything, they know ALL my weaknesses and mistakes but yet still love me. they keep me strong & i love them. i couldn't live without them. i don't know what i'd do. <3

school/grades- hahh. all the times in my classes. spanish 1: was like a family to me. i loved it so much & i was introduced to senora ford! honors earth science: wow. i laughed SO hard in there with bethany, scott, & chris. i loved that class. and met new people. ;) bruns: a hard course, but it was fun. it was def. a challenge. wood's honors english: we had some fun in there. & mr. woods definitely got me thinking about things. computer apps: okay. well. this has pretty much been my blogging class. i met nobody. and it was boring. boo. spanish 2: hah. i LOVE that class. i love having a class with kirsten, and all the new people i met. & our video was amazing! honors geometry: definitely without a doubt my favorite class this year! i love mr. blevins & all the people in there. we have so many good times & inside jokesss. even though it was HARDD as crap, i loved the people like no otherrr. p.e.: was so much fun. bowling, running the mile YAYY, playing all the sports (football, BASKETBALLLL, softball, soccer) it was just alot of fun.

just me- as a person. i really grew. i now know what my priorities are. i know who to trust now. i like where i stand. and i know that i can trust myself to never back down from my morals & stand up for what i believe in. and i love it. & i know i still have a lot of maturing/growing in my walk with God. i know i'm not where i should be, but it's a process. so i'm getting there.

so. another grade gone by. wonder if i'll still be blogging next year at this time? i hope so. i had some amazing experiences & memories i'll never forget or regret. this is just my way of keeping track of them. wonder what summer has in store for me?

-elizabeth grace <3

excited & ready.

random thought- workin' by young dre the truth is an amazing songggg. got it from my brother. hah. :)

i've started to realize that i blog ALL the time. it's so stupid really, no offense. but it really is. i wonder who all reads this? i know there's probably people i don't want to that does. but oh well. i don't care, honestly. it's addicting.

I AM SO EXCITEDDDDDDD & ready for:
-summerrr. tomorrow is the last "regular" day of school! then exams start, & i only have to go to third period, on monday in geometry. so yeahh. i'm SO excited.
-CAROWINDS! which is thursday w/ ashley! ahhh. it's going to be a blasttttt.
-the beachhh! which isn't till july. but you know what? time flies. and it'll be here before i know it.
-doing all the things on my list. & i will, believe me.
-staying up all night tonight. :p

AHHHHHHHH. someone needs to take a chill pilllll, & that would be meee. i'm so hyper.
I LOVE playing basketball in p.e. with shelby, holly & jenn. hahhh.
"are you looking for me?! because i'm right here. NO YOU AREN'T! YES I AM!"
hahhhahah i absolutely love meredith wilsonnn. <3
i swear, we're from a different planet.

write tomorrow?
-elizabeth grace <3

numero doce/listen to me ramble.

RANDOM THOUGHT- i wonder if mr. shook is still doing the whole surprise party for mr. blevins in geometry today? i hope so! :D
soo. in computer apps, for the 12th time. (for those of you who don't know spanish.)
we just took the second part of the field test. it was retarded.
& this morning, i had to come in early like 6:45 early to retake that 75 that i made in geometry. i think i did really good on the retake! it made me happy. that's the first test in a whileeee that i've gotten done with & been like, "i did good on that." hah. believe me, that's a very rare occasion. ANDDD, more importantly, that was the LAST EVER honors geometry test i will take in my entire life. hallelujiah, holy jesus THANK YOUUUU!

my computer in here won't let me do ANYTHING today for some reason. 2hide isn't working, and kefche.com (some turkish website) is like under construction. so no games for me today :. they must have done something to strengthen the firewall..boo you whores.

i was SO excited last night. because i switched back to profile 1.0 (the original kind) on myspace. :) it felt SOOOO good to just be able to make text different fonts/colors/sizes/bold,italic,underline. lord i love it. and i miss being able to get cool layouts. so yeah. i'm so excited to have the old myspace back now. i mean, nothing against 2.0, because the whole drag & drop module thingy is pretty cool, i must admit. but 1.0 feels like homeeee sweet home again. :)

i had a fight with my mom last night..because i didn't know what time i was supposed to come in for my retest. anddd, it was like midnight & i still didn't know. and she's all like, "fine i don't care, i'm not taking you in, you can stick with the grade you got the first time!" & i was so upset. butttt, in the morning she still got me up early & we guessed the right time. GO US.

soooo. last two days of school=pure bs & amazingnesssss.

i'll write later/tomorrow!
-elizabeth grace <3

numero once/RANDOM.

RANDOM THOUGHT- i just took my field test in computer apps. it sucked.
eleven posts in computer apps, wow. we've come a long way. :) haha. i'm thinking about changing my blog font to arial. I CAN'T WAIT TILL SUMMER! i have to retake two tests in geometry on the same day. i don't know if im physically or mentally able to do that. that may not end up happening. i need to find out my grade in there, i think i'll ask blevins like tues. or wed. stephen's graduation is obviously coming up too. it's really sad. i still remember him as like a little kid with all of his old friends, playing outside in the yard. but, i am definitely excited for him! he's going to virginia tech. well i mean, it's really going to be SO much different being an only child, even though we fight some, i will miss him alott. i know i've already wrote about this before, but it's really a lotttt of mixed feelings. i don't like mixed feelings. :/ i like things to either be good, or bad. black, or white. and that usually doesn't happen. oh well. i'm starting to get a little tan! YAYY! i wish i was going to the beach more than once this year. but, heyyy that's okay. because while i'm in hickory, i am going to make this summer a blast. and how do i know that? becauseeee, last night. me & sarah came up with the most amazing idea EVER. later on, we went in a chatroom with mere & ashley tooo. but umm, we made a list of alllll the things we want to do this summer. i think it ended up getting to like 36? and we HAVE to do them all & have photo evidence if possible. i'm SO excited. i was going to put some examples of some things on the list on here, but uhh. a lot of them i just wouldn't.. ;) i think i'm going to just blog for the rest of the class. so this will probably end up being a quite lengthy and a little pointless. as of my love life, starting to spice up a little! hah. but, the guy a like. we agreed that we will just be like, friends that hang out & sometimes kiss this summer. which is amazinggg. b/c i didn't want to be like tied down or in a relationship. but then after the summer, we'll see if we actually want to date. so yeah. i'm really excited about that. :)

but uhh, i changed my mind. i want to go play bubble struggle. (i put struggle in italics b/c it's not the usual bubble trouble. it's like an old version, that let's you pause and go back to levels that you haven't completed. which is good for playing in class. a.k.a., when the teacher walks by you can just pause, whereas in bubble trouble you can't. and you lose a life most likely.) so YEAH.

write laterrr.

weekend before summer.

random thought-i love ham & cheese sandwhiches, & i also love the show ace of cakes. <3

so, today has been a veryyy sunday-like day. i woke up at jenn's, went to church, came home & ate lunch. then layed out by the pool & swam with mom all day. and then i came back inside, and just been hanging out with my family. and we're having pa's pizza tonight! YUMMM!

this weekend has been the best ever though! seriously. i've had so much fun. friday, school was a joke pretty much. found out i got a 75 on a test in geometry. kill me. :/ then, amy came home with me! and we just hung out for a while. then, we went to amy's house for the night. we hung out & signed each other's yearbooks. hah. it's always fun with her.

on saturday, we hung out for a while. then went to the country club & ate at ernie's. then we swam & layed out by the pool. we both got burnt, esp. amy. hah. :) but it was really fun! it reminded me of all the times i've had at that pool, & it was the first of MANY MANY days at the club with the girls this summer. i'm so exciteddd! then, we went back to her house, and went to the mall, just me & her. :) hah. it sounds gay, but it's SO fun her having her license, and just being able to go places by ourselves. ah, it's amazing. so we went shopping. i got a cute summer dress for american eagle for stephen's graduation.
then. i went home, and later went to coldstone with the jarrett girls. :D
i ended up spending the night with them. we went out to sonic, then went putt-putting. it was so much funnn. i woke up at jenn's today, & blah blah. already said the rest :] haha.

so. that was SUCH a fun weekend. only three more days at schoooool! & then i only have to go monday for the geometry exam. then i'm DONE for summmmerrrrr! YAYAYAY. i'm so excited! oh and thursday, i'm going to carowinds with ashley! i'm stoked.

i'll write later.

numero diez.

random thought- it's the 29th of may, almost to june, which really SCREAMS summer. :)

today's the senior carnival! everybody is all dressed up and with their cap & gown. it's really exciting, even though i'm a freshman. haha, i'm excited for them, including my brother!

yesterday was an academic awards thing. i got a pen for 3 nine weeks of straight A's. lucky me, b/c this nine weeks i will break that streak and make a B in geometry. kill me. :

LAST NIGHT I WATCHED THE INTERNATIONAL SPELLING BEEEE! wow. it was great. :D the girl who won was hahahah great. but i wanted this chinese guy to win. lord those words they spell are CRAZY though.

in comptuer apps now, have to go to quia sites & geometry. :] then we're going to homeroom to watch a movie! yayy. this is going to be an easyyyy day. AND we're going bowling in fourth period for p.e. today! hallelujiah.

write later!
-elizabeth grace <3

numero nueve.

in computer apps.
yearbook day was AMAZING yesterday. i think i failed a geometry test, even though i studied like CRAZY the night before. oh well. there were some i didn't even know how to do? ughhh :/

we're doing review in like all my classes, which is usually easy. :] and in spanish we're going to rancho viejo today! or it may be another mexican restaurant. but it's in 2nd period. i'm excited!

freshman year is pretty much over. it's kind of sad. but i do enjoy high school so much more than jfms or whatever. i love it. :) but SUMMER is almost here also! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY.

i'll write later!
-elizabeth grace <3

longest blog ever. read the whole thing, comment me.

random thought-i love the song addicted by simple plan! & i don't care if it's old. whatever.

so. good news! i made cvysa :) woohoo! i think everybody did maybe. but whatever. i was still excited! they moved everybody up an age level or something? idk. i'm just happy to have something to do this fall. and to get better at soccer.

we got progress reports today. i'm making an 89.9 something in geometry. it rounds to a 90 i guess. my parents aren't going to be happy. i know that sounds gay, b/c most parents are just like "yay, you did your best." but, i've never gotten a B on an official report card. so, my parents know i can do better, supposedly. but that class is really hard. and the exam is easy (so everybody says) and that's like 1/4 of your grade. so that can bring it up MAJORLY. hopefully i get an A. i don't want to ruin my record. hah. and shut up if you're making fun. hah. :)

school-wise today, i:
computer apps- did geometry. hah, i'm always either doing that or blogging.
homeroom- got help on geometry homework from jack & hayden!
spanish- watched zorro, and did more geometry.
geometry- did a practice test. me, mere & emily took forever to do most of the problems. i have to do that for homework tonight. :|
p.e.- we played volleyball. i'm on a team with jenn & mere. yayyy!

overall, my day was pretty average/boring.

i guess i'm talking to someone? i don't want to be like those girls that are like.."oh my gah, this is his name, and i'm in love with him, or i may be. idk, blah blah blah. we're meant to be." because that's gay & annoying. but umm, we've had a thing for a while. anddd. who knows? we'll see. right now it's just texting/sort of talking. which is fine with me. :p

i want to call ashley to see if she heard from cvysa, and to talk about carowinds next week. TOMORROW IS YEARBOOK DAY! yayyy! i'm not sure if i even bought one? if not, i'm still getting one tomorrow. i don't care if it costs extra or whatever. it's so worth it. i'm the kind of person who wants EVERYONE to sign & stuff and right longggggg books in the back of your bestfriends'. it's just so great. i've always loved yearbooks.

OH MY GOONDESS. i just remembered-i was supposed to turn in this thing for Honors English II for next year, for summer reading LAST friday, but i forgot. so i got it signed & i was going to turn it in today, but i forgot AGAIN. lorddd. i hope they still take it up? goodness. :/ now i'm going to worry about that the rest of tonight. lord. i'm a freak.

my brother & his friends are downstiars working out doing some major work out tape? hah. it's supposed to like get you ripped in 90 days or something. he's gay. i'm going to miss him when he leaves for college though, and that's weird to say. but i know i will. it will be SO different being an only child, even though we aren't as close as i'd like us to be. but we've gotten closer. we fight sometimes, and he says i'm a bitch for always complaining in the morning for being late. but whatever. sometimes we hang out, and it's nice knowing that i can talk to him. and his advice is truthful, and usually right. it affects what i do, even when i don't want it to. b/c most of the time, i care what he thinks. even though it's harsh. okay. wow, if he ever read this, that would be embarrassing. so yeah. hah.

this is just a LONGGG rambling random blog. but i have a lot to say today!

a lot of people have been dying lately. that's really sad to say. but i know a lot of people going through some hard times. and i feel so bad for them. but i'm here for them, and they know that. <3

i'm so ready for summer. i'm so ready for no-school, for laying out, for going to carowinds, for going to the beach, for going on trips, for going camping for the 4th of july, for spend the nights with my bestfriends, for amazing memories, for love?, for laughter, for anything summer 2009 brings. i'm SO ready for it all.

i'm pretty sure this is the longest blog in the history of my blogging. i wonder if it'll take up a whole page on my blog? hah. mayyyybbeee. we shall find outt. when i hit that little orange "publish post" button. but for right now..i'll keep going. i wonder if there's a limit to one blog? hope not!

i'm still worrying about that paper to turn in for English. ughhh. hah, that just reminded me of fourth grade, mrs. bolick calling me & zachary holland "worry warts" all the time. i hated it, because i hate the thought of warts. my brother's thumb used to be like infestedd with them. and ever since that, i've been like terrified of them. hah.

i need to re-do the pictures around my two mirrors. i may do that tonight, but i'd have to like e-mail them or something, b/c i can't print off of my laptop. or maybe i can, i'm not sure? i'll see though. b/c all of them are from summer 2008, almost a year ago. i need to updateeee.

i have a missed call from my mom. hopefully it's nothing important. she's out signing some papers at the bank with my dad for something with the house? idk. but i don't feel like calling her back. i'm calling ashley right now. because i didn't see her at all today, and as i mentioned earlier, i want to talk to her about some thingsss. she's probably not going to answer her cell, so i'm going to be obsessive and call her house phone, muhahaha. ;) YAY she answered her house phone.

she's psychic. she knew i wore her shirt today. AHH. she's a stalkerrr. :O just kidding. she just told me something about the guy i like that made me smileeeee. YAY. anddd, i just talked her head off about how depressing jon & kate plus 8 was last night.. which reminds me..

yeah. the season premiere of jon & kate plus 8 was on last night. and it was SO sad. it left me with the impression that they are prettty much going to get a divorce. it think they need to go to counseling, and that kate needs to forgive him. i mean, i believe him that he didn't "cheat." he may have been at the wrong place, at the wrong time, but he didn't cheat. and i think jon needs to forgive kate for always giving him a hard time. idk. for the kids at least. they're saying they are there for the kids, & that they'll be friends and come together for the kids. but it's SO hard on a kid that's parents are divorced. i've talked about it with many of my friends, and i can see the toll it's had on them, i mean imagine with EIGHT kids. and how would they split up, or take turns seeing each parent? it's just horrible. they need the idea of a "family" in their lives. wow. i know obviously, jon or kate or the 8 won't read this, but they should just listen to me..hahh. ok. so that's MY take on the whole jon & kate plus 8 ordeal.

ALSO. i balllleeddd during the hills last night. and i don't even know why? i think it was just because i've ALWAYS wanted heidi & lauren to get back together. and how spencer finally apologized for all that he's done. and heidi wants lauren to be at her wedding. obviously, they spoiled it with the previews & after show, and lauren decides to go. but still, i think she should have definitely just went back to being best friends with heidi. or at least try? just because she loves a man that spread rumors about her, doesn't mean she can't forgive. he said he's sorry. now she's the only one holding them back from becoming friends again. spencer did his part, so she can't blame it on him anymore. and i swear i will cry on the finale. i will miss lc. but i heard that kristen cavalari (sp?) is becoming the main person, or joining the cast next season. wowww. i used to love her, and hate lc on laguna beach. back in those high school days. hah. so THAT'S my spill on the end of lc's time on reality tv.

i'm talking to miss shelby lail on aim right now. this is SUCH a long blog. i hope nobody reads it, because you have no life if you got this far.

but i'm going to go. mom just got home, & i need to do homework.

love you all, mwah mwahhhhh. hah.
