AND i decided to scrunch my hair for tomorrow :)

9:03 pm--LOLOLOLOL ready for the storm rehearsal was SOOO funny!!!!!! rofl. :D AND, i am the voice of...

DIGRESSION! you thought i was gonna say reason, didn't you? because, before now, there has not been a well-known, identified voice of digression. but now there is! and she rules out the voice of reason.
and have i told that i've been diagnosed by some people *coughcough*colin*coughcough* with ADHOS?
Attention

FIDDLER ON FRIDAY!!!!!!! and states. but i dont need to be excited about that.
today what made me happy was...
lazy shower-taking (washing ur hair in the tub... lol)
being able to straighten my hair before my mom left
finally starting to make plans to get a hair cut (i desperately need a trim)
and my review session for AP Euro. thats always sooo much funn, an idk why.

ALSO i had bugles today! i haven't them in ages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

ugh...

im behind again :(

ANYWAS
yesterday was kinda fun.
i had drama, and instead of doing or duets, mr. cummins assigned a 500-word paper, trying to pitch our favorite movie. i did The Princess Bride. :D love that movie. I'll post the final draft when i'm finished.
i took a bath yesterday :) it felt soooooooo good!!!!!!! lol
I had my AP Euro exam review session last night. it wasn't that bad--basically just a second Euro class. BUT it comes with perks. because i'm going to the review sessions, i don't have to do the homework for unit 11 :) i might end up doing some of it anyways... idk tho.

normalities, untiredness and AMAZING PEOPLE!

SOOO...
i am rather untired. i realize thats not a word. but i kinda was tired. but then i perked up a bit. idk why.
organized my presents.
started writing thank you notes.
went to youth group @ hdg tonight! funn. but me ian and caitlin were the only ones there.
and GUESS WHAT?!?

*drumroll*




I MIGHT GET TO GO SEE FIDDLER ON THE ROOF AT THE NATIONAL THEATER IN WASHINGTON, DC ON FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
im sooooo psyched!!!! :)
ian's mom invited caitlin and i to go. im sooooo insanely STOKED!

:D

hehehe... sooo....its 1:50 in the morning, I am at the Tellup's, and I have no plan of going to bed anytime soon. i will soooooooo not be helpful at the LIT info mtg tomro!

anyways, yesterday *cough cough* was ahMAZing!!!
first, i got up and read my book some more. Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. good book. has some cussing and other stuff in it, but the stories amazing. you should read it.
then i cleaned, a bit.
then the tellup girls were dropped off at 1, and we went shopping :D altho, we mostly went shopping for mom. BUT i got a really cute dress. gonna wear it to church tomro (as i have nothing else to wear)
we got back from shopping and picking katie up, and cleaned. like crazy. christine, katie, erin, mitchell, mom and i all cleaned around the house to get ready. people had actually started arriving before i had all my cd's burned... OH WELL!
then the party! it was definitely a SWEET sixteen!!!! =D
we played a little bit of volleyball, thought that didn't work too well.
we played red rover :)
we had a bonfire.
we bounced on the trampoline.
swing danced.
talked.
swung on the tire swing.
and basically had an AWESOME time!!!

then after the party, i went over to the tellups for a sleepover and opened my presents. THANK YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH!! :D i loved them!
then we...
decorated my phone.
gave each other temporary permanent tattoos with SHARPIES!!!! lol. wont post pics, tho. but i have lyrics on my legs :) and words on my back... including SHINY! :D
decorated my phone some more (the cell gel--really cool--takes an hour to dry...*sigh*).

then partying AAALLL NIIIGGHHTT LOOONGGG!!! :D


ohhhh yeaaahhh!!!! im soooooooooooooo psyched!

silver linings

weeellll.....
we didnt really have to do anything in FOT.
and mrs armstrong was in a good mood.
and so was mrs cummins.
and our student teacher in chorus is getting better. :)

soooo.... yeah. thats it.

haha... random quotes! again! :D

"I don't speak Taco Bell. I speak Value Menu."
~William. (taco bell is referring to spanish. idk what value menu is...)

today was great. i even got a gift card donated from island jack for teacher appreciation week!! :D

...and then i slammed my finger in the car door... :(

ill have to tell you the funny story tomorrow, as i am supposed to be in bed right now... lol.

Good Night, all!!
<3 you,
Andee

teachers are insane. offically.

sooo mrs amrstrong (the bipolar spanish teacher) was actually kinda-sorta funny today! -gasp- which made spanish interesting -faint- thats not normal.
not much else happened... got to see vannah an ian an caitlin an becca an beka an sara an autumn and EVERYBODY!!! (almost) :D

OH YEAH!! FOT was actually kinda funn today. we're studying energy because of Earth Day, and today we learned (or re-learned in my case) about potential and kinetic energy. so, to get it stuck in our heads, some guys did jumping jacks and pushups, then one of the guys danced. he is REALLY GOOD!! :D

.::d^_^b::.

so i can't really remember everything that made me smile
except for the TNMT (tuesday night mime thingy)
that was funn.
we did creative worship :D
and erin made fun of me
and we actively squished people.

and can i just say that i LOVE music? i mean, its the best in the whole wide world!! :D

10:06 pm--Ian has OFFICIALLY created an OI!!! AND im his first follower. i feel special now!

sleep :)

i took a nap today :) yay for naps!

and at lunch, kwanisa called me a chihuahua :D lol. but im not just ANY chihuahua, im a HYPER one!!!!!

Laughter

You know your day will be great when...
You wake up laughing, even though you're tired
You see some of your bestest friends
You buy Slim Jim and the Seven Eleven Girl from iTunes
And three more people have positively RSVP'd to your party :D

AND you can make ur bro crack up with two words--MEAT MONSTER!!! lol

music=life

ok, so that may be a little dramatic, but thats how i feel. especially when i find a song that fits so perfectly its insanely cool
anyways, what brought this up is that i have started picking fun music for my party :D
AND mom said i get to go the HdG UMC youth group tomorrow night. i'm really excited b/c, while i love my mt zion family, i feel the need to be more hooked into a youth group. and this one has a cpl of ppl i already know, which helps my issue w/meeting new people all by myself. lol :D
AND im going to dave and busters tonight with my uncle to celebrate my sweet 16! :D love it! ive never been there, so im rrrreeeeaaaallllyyyyy excited!! can you tell?

OH YEAH!!!!! I FORGOT!! how dare i?!? anyways...... *drum roll please*
I GOT ACCEPTED INTO THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY!!!!!!!!!! EEEPPP!!! this is insane!
1) its going to look good on applications
2) i was one of 12 that got accepted. the 12 that were accepted was out of 21 that applied :D

AND i definitely love Cascada now!! thank you christine!!! <3

swing!!!

hello all!
before i start for real, i agologize for the no-post yesterday. i cldn't get on the computer until all my chores were done, and i was really tired and didn't feel like doing them, so i went to bed.

anyways!! today at school was a relief, b/c i didn't have to perform my drama duet for the class (which i didn't have memorized at all).
but it was also wierd, b/c of the Day of Silence (which my drama partner participated in. more info on Just Your Average Teen.
after school i came home and read a really good book that a friend of mine is lending me :)
and i cleaned my room and the bathroom, meaning i could get on the computer!
but then christine and erin got here, and we left for mime.
which was pretty cool, because we performed endless night for Travis and Lorna Curry, who are going to be the new "papa gary" and "mama rebekah" at the COZV village :D we also got pretty far on You Are Loved and are close to being finished All Things New :)
after mime, i got to go to swing!!!!!!!!!! :D i wore my totally cute new dress, and kristina wore a black dress with white polka dots! it was fun. i danced with
David, who spun me around really fast until i almost fell over
Mark, who spun me, but not as much. (he ended up gettin dizzy before i did)
Pat, who asked me to be his partner for the first couple during the Snowball :D which was fun, also!

so, i basically had a great day, with only one little thing wrong. but that won't go here.

happy mood!!!

today was a happy day! i was just in a good mood.
and chris's yawn is sooo cuute!!! lol
(but he thinks its wierd)

but i was just happy :D

*peep*

i love peeps! they are soo good :D i had some at lunch.

and i got to tickle my friend Autumn...(<--happy, Katie?? three periods. it is most definitely an ellipses)
one of her friends described her reaction as 'screaming bloody murder'
and i came back with 'you mean squeaking bloody murder'
it was cute. and funn.

AND we're gonna have ms geri again tonight for drivers ed :D oh happy day!! this should be... interesting!! <_<>_>

:D !!!!!!!!

drivers ed was AWESOME!!!

we had a new teacher. her name is ms geri.
and we talked about the FUNNIEST and most RANDOM things tonight!! (and not much about actual drivers ed stuff...)

sooo yeah. and im tired. so im punchy. and hyper. not good. just ask christine!! i laughed a lot tonight.
so this definitely belongs on my OI.

night all!
Andee

friends

i love my friends!!! :D

and my backpack.. i had a brush in it, so i didn't have to run alll the way upstairs..

oh, yeah.
leave in conditioner=static guard for your hair....lol

=D

i got a new dress today.
mom took me on her motorcycle to the store we went to.
its white with black polka dots, and has little black bows on the straps :D














AND i got new black heels. they're
cute
strappy
and comfortable
and i needed black shoes for Festival and to go with my dresses =D

amazingness

Bible Force was FUNNY!!! (at least for me..)
we sang peace like a river, and at the one part where you sing "ive got peace love joy like a river" really fast.. i messed up. of course. the funny part was that kristen was following me, so she messed up too. and then she glared at me. and stuck her tongue out at me. and i just smiled really big because i couldn't laugh.

hopefully going shopping this afternoon. if not, maybe a motorcycle ride, or hanging with one of my friends, whom i need to have a face-to-face conversation with.
either way, im looking forward to my afternoon :D

3:17 pm--according to my brother, i have a "buff" smile.... lol.

post-kayaking

sooo..... we ran bloomington today. thats usually a pretty fun river. it wasn't as cold as usual :D
but AFTERWARDS we went to a bar/restaurant place,
and i had a really good grilled cheese yumm.
and we listened to funn songs (thanks to one of the kayakers there)
and ive re-established abt a thousand times that mitchell's a dork.
and i saw a really cool vainty license plate-- MUNKEYS
it made me laugh
and i drove for about two hours this morning. around hairpin turns :(
BUT i drove for two hours.

2:34 pm--i also love my insanely awesome friends, no matter how wierd they are. the bus ride was... interesting, to say the least. BUT it made me laugh, so i was fine with it :D

9:28 pm--its raining. and thundering, and lightning :D i love it!

HAHA drivers ed is so much better with a friend :D

rita's, skittles, sunkist, cheesy videos and annoying yet slightly entertaining teachers!

happiness

hello fellow bloggers!

i am happy today. why? i have no clue.
but i am doing my homework on the porch.
and i have figured out what to do with my missing pages.
and i am about halfway finished the design part of my FOT project.
and i am two chapters out from finishing what english hw i have.
and i drew some lines that WILL NOT be crossed.

in other words, i have been productive today :D i like it when i get stuff done. i mean, i don't enjoy the doing. i just enjoy having it out of the way.

warm weather, sunny skies!

sooo today was extremely warm :D

i talked with a really good friend
AND i played lacrosse with mitch (and caught the ball more often than not)
AND i finished half of my english hw (due friday)
AND i just had a happy day :D


...driver's ed soon. will post more about that later (dont know which blog yet... ill let you know later. lol)

conversions!!

i have successfully convinced one friend to make an OI, and am working on two others (one being colin..which we're all working on, i hope) lol.

so, that is my happy news so far!

oh, yeah! im also eating chocolate. *yummy*

AND i made *another* blog. check it out! Just Your Average Teen

1:16 pm--just got back from changing out of my sweats. why? i spilled applesauce on myself. it was cold. :(

10:30 pm (actually the next morning, but i wanna post about what i did last night..)--i...
talked with ian
and colin,
and kaite,
and christine,
and my friend autumn,
and stayed up late(ish)
and took Nyquil (yay medicine to make me sleepy!!)
AND i realized that i am almost 100% over my cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D oh happy day!
*i really hate colds*

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!

ok, i will start from the beginning.
the rigmarole is finished!!!! (yay and boo at the same time)
katie's new blog, the Awesome Possum (just the name makes me smile)
sitting with Katie and Mark and my family for the easter service (altho im sad i didn't get to sit with sarah...)
Ms. Dawn's dance (gorgeous!!)
PEEPS!!
my dad long-term-loaning me his mp3 player b/c mine pretty much stinks
and a chance to earn $10 (for washing the cars)

so today is a happy day!

HAPPY EASTER!!!!! Christ is Risen

2:40 pm--just got back from grocery shopping/home depot shopping with dad. gonna try something new with how eat.... Katie-style!! lol. basically, something small for breakfast, a midmorning snack, a small lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, a not as large dinner, and then maybe something about an hour or so after dinner. all healthy of course! we also got stones for a fire pit!!!! yayz.7:35 pm--Katie found my perfect nail polish!!! its PINK and SPARKLY. lol

kayaking trips

I didn't think this would actually make it on my *happy* blog, but here it is!
we paddled the Gunpowder Gorge today, which is a pretty fun run, especially when you do it all the time.
the water level was a little low, but no big deal.
i ran it with mom in the back of my duck, and that was sooooo cool!! we think similarly, so not that much communication has to happen b/c we're so in sync. of course, that also spoils me, but w/e!
anyways, i used these awesome new dry pants!! they have feet attached at the bottom, like socks kind of, and NO RUBBER GASKETS ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was amazingly comfortable.
i also had new shoes and new glove liners. the shoes fit perfectly :D and the glove liners are made of polypropolene (...supposedly fake fleece, but nothing similar). anyways, they were awesome. i used just those on my hands in VERY cold water, and pretty cold weather and it was perfect. my hands were just the right temperature. :D so yay for new gear!
Easter is tomorrow. a great time to remember what Christ did for us, and His insanely *chill* sacrifice (lol Christine).

happy birthday to me!

Christine was over last night/this morning!! :D
we
made brownies
talked
went to driver's ed (FLUFFY!!!!)

she also helped me figure out how to wear this TOTALLY cute shirt that i got as a hand-me-down that i had no clue how to wear...its a really low v-neck brown shirt with cross-over cami straps.

today, we went up (down, over, w/e) to my grandparents house in DE. i was sooo tired that i slept on the way there AND the way back. :D i looovee naps!!!
