My hair is so dark. Isn't it? It used to be just medium brown (well actually it was blonde when i was little) and over the past year it's gotten dark. I started realizing this when people i know began asking questions like, "Did you dye your hair?", "Wow, your hair is different!" and stuff like that! I guess i didn't REALLY realize it til like a month ago when i was looking at old pictures of me and my hair was lighter. I love/hate having dark hair. It makes me look emo (which i obviously don't like), and yet, it's pretty (when i'm having a good hair day lol). So yeah, now that this blog about hair is done, i'm gonna go brush my hair. ^.^

This Is So Unorganized!
I feel like crying. I have NO clue why though because nothing sad has happened!!! haha! it reminds me of last night when me, Tonya, and Amanda were wanting to watch a sappy movie that would make us cry cuz of it's sweetness! haha! yeah, last night we were really...weird. haha!!!
So last night after lots of planning and confusion, we had a surprise birthday party for TONYA!!! it was awesome if i do say so myself...and i especially loved decorating, even though we weren't able to decorate much! it was great! Tonya loved her presents which was a relief haha! And then we played a bunch of games and watched hilarious videos and all that jazz!
And today me, Tonya, and Amanda went to the MALL!!!! it was soooo much fun! we went into weird stores, scary ones (Hot Topic....*cringe*), and then we tried on dresses which were very pretty! ^.^ Overall, my weekend so far has been GREAT!
I really don't see why Tonya thinks i'm a germaphobe! Seriously, she thinks anyone who dislikes being sneezed on is a germaphobe...-_- i mean, is there anyone who likes being sneezed on? Really?? Yuck....yuck yuck yuckkk! Ugh! even the thought of it is disgusting!
Tomorrow i'm goin to church to sing my in the quartet with the Dooleys. i think we'll do good...if, ya know. i dont screw up that is! which is likely to happen. T_T
I miss people too much. Pretty much as soon as i say goodbye to one of my friends, i miss them. It really sucks at times! lol! But i guess i just love them that much! haha!
I guess that's gonna be all for tonight! Hope you enjoyed this tid-bit of useless blabbering! haha!

Boys...T_T dumb, i know.
So as i was talking to a friend, she said something that really made me think about something i never thought of before!!! When a teenage girl likes a boy, then she thinks about that boy ALOT! i remember not that long ago when i didn't like anybody...and i felt so free!!! like idk how to explain it! just like you weren't so consumed by them!
I especially like that feeling...alot! That's all i really have to say (since i HAVE to get off now...puh! parents!) Toodles!

*sighs dreamily* Raoul...
For those of you who have seen "The Phantom of the Opera", then i hope to hear your point of view on this subject. I have gathered the opinions from some of my friends and they disagree with me. You see, i think that Raoul has a MUCH better voice than the Phantom, who sang too huskily, and was much too moody for my taste! Raoul's voice was gentle, sweet, and just dreamy! So all in all, Raoul was the MUCH better singer! :]
That's all! :]
Sincerely,
Jo
That's all! :]

Convention *cue the dun dun duuuuun music*
In less than a month i will be at the ACE Convention.
The ACE Convention is a competition where our school (UCA) goes to Bowling Green for a week and competes with other schools for stuff in Athletics, Music, Smarts (don't know what it's really called), Art, and something else i can't remember! It's supposed to be really fun! This will be my first year so i'll see how it all is!
The downsides. #1: Us girls have to wear skirts below our knees and shirts up to our collarbone all week long (excluding at the hotel, of course. it would be weird sleeping in skirts!). #2: There is to be maintained a 6-inch distance between the girls and boys at all times, even if it is brother and sister (so what, are the sponsors gonna be walking around with measuring sticks, making sure we don't break that boundary?). #3: I HAVE to wear high heels for all performances. So on the music day, my feet will be killing me since i have like 4 performances in music! And last but MOST CERTAINLY not least #4: For all the athletic competitions, the girls are to wear culottes. -_- if you don't know what those are, they're like skirt/pants. ugh.
There are many upsides, though! No parents for a week, good awesome food, free bowling at the campus, and all this other cool stuff! Plus i'll be with my friends all week long!!!...Although that could be a good or bad thing. After a while of being with friends (minimum of 3 days) they get quite annoying, I know from past experiences. Not elaborating.
At Convention, so far i'm gonna do the Large Ensemble (big school choir), Small Ensemble (smaller choir), a Female Quartet (with Ashley, Naomi, and Ali), a Mixed Quartet (with Ellen, Ben, and JP), i'm entering something in for drawing, and i'm doing 3-person volleyball with K-Bob and David A. Lots of stuff!
So anyways, i'm looking forward to Convention!!! I think it'll be an awesome week! :]

Jo

Songs
So i am listening to "Only Hope", the song that Mandy Moore sings on "A Walk To Remember" and it made me think about how i really wish that i could write awesome songs like that! I've always wanted to be able to write songs. Like last night i was listening to "Name" by Fireflight, and it's like such a sad GOOD song!!! now i'm listening to it lol. Whenever i hear a song that is really good and inspirational then it gives me such an urge to write a song that will affect people!!
Well i guess that's all i wanted to say. If you haven't heard them, then look up those 2 songs! They are really good!

Random Things I Would Like To Accomplish Soon
Here are a few things which i would like to accomplish now and later in life.
#1: Getting more than 3 followers on my blog.
#2: Inventing a machine that controls the weather so i can make all this blasted snow stop.
#3: Going through a week of wearing only skirts (at Convention) alive.
#4: Having a boyfriend before i die.
#5: Getting a job which i enjoy.
#6: Convincing my friends to stop watching dumb vampire shows (not gonna happen).
#7: Getting at least one of my cats to like me. (Even though we already have like 7 (more like 5 lol), all of them despise me.)
And finally, #8: Keeping my room clean for a week. (Probably not gonna happen.) ;)

This Funny Event Came To Mind. . .
Okay, so when i was a little girl, i had a huge knack for getting lost in Wal-Mart when i went shopping with Mom.
I specifically remember one incident when we were in the card isle and me and my Mom were looking at birthday cards. I found a really interesting one and since i wasn't a very avid reader at that time, it took me a while to finally read it. When i put it back, i turned to tell my Mom what it said, and she was gone. I panicked and started crying, running through the isles looking for my Mom. When i finally found her i always said, "You loseded meeee!" and then she'd have to carry me throughout the rest of the trip through the store so i would stop crying.
But this wasn't the incident i recalled earlier. I got lost again on a later trip and after crying and running through isles again, i saw my Mom walking the opposite way in the front of the store. I ran to her and grabbed on to her thigh, where i stayed for about 20 seconds. She wasn't moving and i looked up to see that it wasn't my Mommy. I was probably the most embarrassed i've ever been, even though i was only like 5. She was giving me this odd look, and that worsened the embarrassment. I finally found my Mom, and all was well. I don't remember if i ever told my Mom or not.
So yeah, that was a funny yet embarrassing moment in my life. I hope to never be embarrassed like that again, even though i probably will be here soon. I mean, teenage years are mostly filled with embarrassment, right?

Jo

Boys Boys Boys! (And No, I'm Not Talking About My Non-existent Love Life)
Since everyone is already posting stuff about children after last night's ruckus, i guess i'll do it, too!
Okay SO. . .even tho last night's little doozy was completely brutal and ridiculous with all those children, i still want to have 3 or 4 boys! haha! even tho last night, all the boys were loud, obnoxious, wrestley (word or no?), impatient, and weird. . .they still had a cuteness to them! ^.^
So yeah, 3 or 4 boys is my preference! :]

Valentines Dayyy. . .and the previous day.
Happy Valentines Day peoples!!! :]
Last night i went to a Valentines party at the church to watch some little kids with Amanda, Ellen, Chelsea, Hannah, and of course Ryan!. . .boy oh boy kids are a handful! There were about 15-20 kids i'm guessing there! There was this absolutely cute little boy named Alex who was so sweet and after i helped him with his paper hearts then he hugged me! He was so sa-weeet! And VERY polite, too!. . .Anyways! Back to the matter at hand!
Today i just woke up forgetting all about the fact that today was Valentines Day cuz i was almost SURE that yesterday was Valentines Day. . .until my Mom told me that it was today. Well anyways, i walked into the kitchen and i saw a card with my name on it (in Ryan's handwriting) and some almond Hershey's Kisses! I was sorta expecting to get a card from Ryan cuz i knew he got one for Mom so i was suspecting he got one for me too. But anyways, it was cool, nonetheless! That is probably the only Valentine i will be getting, sadly. lol
Well i just thought i'd share with you that little tid-bit! Happy Singles Awareness Day! ;)

I FINISHED!
So as i previously spoke of in yesterday's entry, today was the 5k race. I should just state now that last night as i was going to bed, my chest started hurting every time i took a deep breath. I just thought it would be gone in the morning. It wasn't. This morning i was rudely woken up by my father and i was grumpy until the race began. I ran with my Dad, my Mom, and my Mom's friend, Stacey.
So we got there an hour early to register and all that, and it was FREEZING! My hands and toes were literally numb even before the race started! I warmed up, stretched, and was ready to start running! The plan originally was that i would run next to my Dad because my Mom was gonna run/walk with her friend!
So i was all ready, standing next to my Dad, when they said "Ready, get set, go!" So off i sprinted (first mistake)! I sprinted for about 1/4 of a mile before i slowed down and my Dad caught up to me. I was still going at a light jog before my chest started hurting from taking deep breaths. My stomach started hurting a little too, so i just told Dad to go on without me, and i started walking for a little bit.
I thought my Mom and Stacey were way behind me when all of a sudden i turn around and they were almost right next to me! In my mind i was thinking, oh great. if they pass me i'm gonna feel so stupid! . So i stayed with them for about a lap (each lap was 1 1/4 of a mile i think) before i couldn't keep up with them anymore!
By then i was feeling like i was gonna puke and i thought i would just keel over dead right then and there! So i walked then ran then walked then ran off and on for a while. At the time, i had no clue how many laps i was supposed to be going! So i ran and caught up to this 30-ish looking lady and asked how many we were supposed to do, and to my great surprise, i found out that i was on the last one!
So after walking up that blasted hill, i jogged until i found my Dad waiting to run with me the rest of the way to the finish line! We jogged together until about 0.2 miles away (i'm guessing that much) from the finish line before i sprinted to it. I felt so proud of myself for actually finishing it because on the beginning of that last lap i was so close to just walking up to the workers and saying that i couldn't finish it!
My Mom and Stacey were waiting there for me and i felt just about dead! I was supposed to fill out some little card and when i went to write my name and stuff on it, my hands were shaking so much i had to wait about a minute until they stopped shaking! lol!
So all in all it was a pretty good experience, though i do not wish to do that again any time soon!

Jo

Running. . .is horrendous.
Definition of horrendous: Horrible; Dreadful.
Those words could be found in "Kirstin's Thesaurus" by the word "running". I hate running.
Me and my Mom started training for a 5k race over a month ago. The race is tomorrow morning. I dread it for two reasons. 1-It will be cold and it's hard to run in the cold cuz your throat gets really dry. 2-Because of the cold, my nose will be running like crazy while i'm running. (i'm thinkin i should bring some kleenexes to stuff in my pocket ^.^ )
I'm actually looking forward to it for two reasons! 1-I'll be running with my Dad so it'll give me motivation knowing i'm not the only one who it's hard for! 2-After the race...NO MORE TRAINING!!! :] i'm especially happy about that last one.
Training is a pain in the butt!....Literally >.> . Me and my mom, when we first began training, couldn't run for 5 minutes without feeling like we were gonna die! Now i'm pretty proud of myself for being able to run 3 miles...even though i still feel pretty hurt by the end of it. It's worth it!
I love knowing the fact that i can probably outrun all of my friends. Maybe not by speed but by endurance! I'll be in great shape for soccer season which starts in THREE WEEKS!!! :] Yeah, i'm pretty pumped about soccer starting! I didn't think i would be, but now i am...mainly cuz i know i'm already in shape for it ;) . But another HUGE reason i can't wait for it...is cuz Amanda is on my teammm! :] yay!! Manda, yeah, she is a BEAST on defense! Mhmmmm! *nods head*
Well that's all i can think of to write for now! Adios!

Jo

I'll be in great shape for soccer season which starts in THREE WEEKS!!! :] Yeah, i'm pretty pumped about soccer starting! I didn't think i would be, but now i am...mainly cuz i know i'm already in shape for it ;) . But another HUGE reason i can't wait for it...is cuz Amanda is on my teammm! :] yay!! Manda, yeah, she is a BEAST on defense! Mhmmmm! *nods head*
Well that's all i can think of to write for now! Adios!

Jo

My Weekend Adventures...
My weekend was probably the most eventful weekend of this entire year probably!! So beginning with Friday...
I had been really wanting to stay the night with Emily for a long time, so when it was all suggested, i was ecstatic that i would probably be able to....so after a long talk with my parents, i was allowed to go!! so i was actually getting to go to Emily's house after knowing her for almost a year! what was even better, was that i wasn't the only one staying the night! It was me, Chelsea, Amanda D., Amanda C., and of course, Emily and Kaitlin! So when we got there we had loads of fun, watched creepy, disgusting, horrifying, and hilarious movies! After the movie watching, we talked for a few hours about school, boys, other girls, boys, and other useless stuff. lol. at about 6 AM, some of us started wearing down and falling asleep. Me, the paranoid one stayed awake out of fear that Chelsea and Amanda D were going to prank me. Kaitlin went upstairs to her room to sleep, and the rest of us were downstairs. Amanda C and Emily were already asleep, so me, Chelsea, and Amanda D got up and Chelsea got out....the makeup!! muahahahaha...okay sorry. So Chelsea got out some lipstick, Amanda D got out her FlipCam, and after a looong time of hesitating and such, Chelsea made her first mark on Amanda C.. Surprisingly, she didn't wake up or even move! So we made a couple of more marks on her face before Chelsea knocked something over and woke them both up. They fell back asleep after about a minute, and neither of them saw the marks on Amanda C's face. Me, Amanda D, and Chelsea were cracking up! Emily had her hood over her head and the blanket pulled up so we couldn't really do anything to her. That pretty much concluded the pranking that night. That night i only got about 30 minutes of sleep, but when they all woke up, Amanda C had already wiped it off on her clothes or on the blanket, so when we told her about us writing on her face, she didn't believe us! At 11:00 AM that morning, Tonya came and picked up me and Amanda D to go to the movies and then to her house.
We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 with Darcy and DJ, and on the way there we learned that Darcy MIGHT be pregnant! We were extremely excited about that!!! The movie was hilarious and cute, and afterward we went to Subway and then to Tonya's house. There we just hung out like normal and did stuff. I actually got 7 hours of sleep that night which were heavenly! The next morning I just went home, and it was all normal.
Or so I thought. I had the choice to either go to church that night or go to a superbowl party at a friends house. I chose the superbowl party and we went over to Abby's house. We had fun, played hide-and-go-seek, watched the superbowl, cheered when the Saints won, and overall had a good time. We went home, i got on the computer and everything was normal. Until about 11:15.
I was just watching GI Joe when Mom comes in and tells me to get ready to leave. I'm really wondering what's up at that moment and i walk into the living room to see Ryan gasping in pain and hunching over. Mom tells me that she thinks his appendix ruptured (exploded basically lol), so we go to the hospital in Hendersonville, the entire way Ryan is groaning and stuff. So we go to the ER and i had to wait in the waiting room for like 20 minutes while Mom and Ryan were in some room. When Mom came to get me i was extremely worried and she told me he was drugged. I walked in and yeah, he was drugged all right! He was saying some hilarious stuff too! Here's some of them:
*Looking at some stuff he had to drink for a CAT scan* "Is this beer?"
*later, talking about the stuff he drank* "All it is is lemonade and beer!"
"Will I have to wear a hospital gown?"
"Will i have a scar?...cool....i didn't pray for a scar!"
"They'll see my intestines, won't they?" "Yeah" "Ew..."
"Will i still be able to like....play sports?"
"My crotch itches." O_O
"I wanna be in a musical...so bad."
"I feel like i'm on a cloud"
Me-"Ryan do you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?" "Mhmmm"
"I don't like the feeling of peeing myself."
"I feel so lazy it's like i'm fuzzy (our cat), but i don't have hair on my chest..."
My almost favorite-"Maybe i'm having an appendix attack because i eat my chapstick..."
My ultimate favorite-"You two are the best mom and sister...even though i don't say it..." ^.^
So yeah...after all that drugging and CAT scans and such, he had to go into surgery to get his appendix removed. The surgery wasn't until like 10 or so in the morning. I was up the entire night. After the surgery when we got to see him he was unconscious still so he wasn't exactly the life of the party! The Andersons came to visit him and i got to go home with them and sleep! :] Ryan was home that night, alive and sore.
That concludes my rather eventful weekend!!....oh and by the way. we found out yesterday that Darcy is, in fact, pregnant! ^.^

Jo
