"It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert...

...but I'm holding you closer than most, cause you are my heaven..."

-Ron Pope

That's a really great song.

This morning I was so cold, I ironed every piece of clothing before I put it on.  It's true.  I even ironed my denim jeans and my camisole!  I was freeeeezing.  It just keeps getting colder, and I keep getting colder.  As I said earlier, I only like it cold when I can get warm.  I can't get warm.  And that is upsetting.  BECAUSE ME MOTHER WILL NOT TURN ON THE HEATER.  ugh.  We're "saving money from our PG&E bill..." man, oh man!

I'd rather not...

Anyway, today was Paul Kevin Jonas II's twenty-first birthday!  So today, I modeled my outfit after him.  I borrowed a friend's fake brown leather jacket, I wore a white tank top underneath it, and I had a black and white scarf that I wore.  I wore some not too skinny skinny jeans. And I couldn't find my black flats, so I just wore some non-matching shoes.  It bothered me all day.  If you were my sister, you would say I have "OCD matchiness." BAHAHA!!!

Long story from Black Friday last year.

Anyway, I'm watching Dancing with the Stars right now and Lionel Richie is performing "Dancing on the Ceiling"...it's alright...not a huge fan.

Okay, I'm going to clean my room because my aunt's are coming tomorrow!

excitement.

:D

peace.

That is also, some very wise advice.  For those of you who are happy that Barack Obama was elected the next President of the United States, I can imagine how elated you are!  And for those of you who were in favor of John McCain, that's some advice you should consider.  Look at it this way...it can only last eight years at the very very most!

:)

Just trying to pour a little sweet sugar on that sour subject...

I really should go to bed, but I wanted to say that while it was still the EXTREMELY HISTORICAL day of November 4, 2008.  Wow, this one's for the books...for real.

And I also wanted to say it before I forgot...because that would happen to me. 

and tomorrow is Paul Kevin Jonas II's twenty-first birthday!

:)

peace.

ELECTION day today!!!

intense.

Of course, I don't have the privilege of voting just yet, but, boy if only I could.

I'm not one to say that I can tolerate politics very well, but I know what I stand for, and I know what the candidates stand for...as far as propositions, and measures (the lettered things that hardly anybody hears about)...I just don't know.  

I reeeeaaallllllyyyy don't like politics.  It ruins things.  Why can't we all just get along?

Some words of advice:

The three things not to bring up in open conversation are money, religion and politics.

good to know...I've seen people get into some pretty nasty arguments concerning any of the three, and I'm pretty sure that's what "they" are supposed to teach you as a child...I never learned it.

But somehow, I've made it this far and managed not to make any of those mistakes...LUCKILY.

:D

Alright, well...we had a mock election at school today that I totally and COMPLETELY forgot about.  :(

but I bet you can guess who won by a landslide...Obama.

I think most young people are pro-Obama and it's mainly adults who give support to McCain.  I'm not saying that no young people support McCain, or that no adults support Obama.  It's obvious that Obama has a very large support group, and McCain is the underdog.  It just seems that youthful people who are not able to vote tend to lean towards Obama and Biden.

Just an observation.

:)

Alrughty, well, I guess we'll find out sooner or later who the next president of the United States of America is!

(and if I'll be moving to Canada or not... :P)

peace.

"Meh...

..."

-a random person.

So it's still pouring outside as far as I can tell, and I feel extreeeeeemely lethargic.  I just want to sleep.  And curl up into a ball and get underneath about one hundred blankets.  I told my mom, "Mom, it's kinda cold in here..."

Naturally, a nurturing person would say, "Okay, honey! I'll go turn on the heater."

BUUUT no.

It was more like this, "Put some more layers on."

and then she walked out of the room.

:(

EPIPHANY!!! hot chocolate.  That will help me get warm and cozy...and want to go to bed even more! hahaa...too bad.  I don't think I have any homework due tomorrow anyway.

Although I would choose that the weather be cold over the weather being excruciatingly hot, I don't actually like, being physically cold.  I have been told before, that I have naturally good circulation, so my body is already warmer than most.  However, I only choose cold over hot because I like to get warm.  Heat is too unappreciated when it's hot a the time.  This is why I like it cold.  I like it cold, so I can get warm...and cozy...and firplace-y...and hot chocolatey.

:P

I know there was something else I was going to say, but as usual...I forgot.

So anyway, I'm about to fall asleep here, so I'm out!

peace.

"When it rains...

it pours."

-William Shakespeare

(but probably more well-known from 50 cent)

I am babysitting right now!  I have no problem with babysitting, whatsoever...it just saddens me that the kids went to bed almost an hour ago, and the younger one is asleep.  The older, however is entertaining herself by singing little tunes and making her stuffed Halloween kitten dance around her crib.  It is quite entertaining...I can't see her, but I can hear her, and it's pretty funny.

She also tells stories, correcting herself when she gets the story wrong...how adorable is that!?!

Anyway, I sit here and write to you from the couch of my neighbors because of one reason.  My friends are at a concert--

AHH!

so Grace just got home from church and came to visit me...of course, she lolly-gags outside of the door while I tell her to leave her dripping umbrella on the outside of the house, and low and behold...the cat that the dog, Tucker, loves to chase is right outside.

Grace says, "There's a cat out here..." and moves aside so that I can have the privelege of seeing this cat...

well that went TERRIBLY bad.  The dog ran in through some bushes, (mind you, it is dark and STILL pouring during this grand affair), makes a squealing noise, and is nowhere to be found.  This would happen to me.

So there I am, standing in the rain, paging throughout the few-house range, "Tucker!  Come 'ere boy!  TUCKEEERRRR!"

and I look back and Grace is standing at the still open door, looks at me, and says, "What?!"

Then my mother yells from across the street, "He's on the neighbor's front porch!"

So, I had to walk down the walkway in the pouring rain with no shoes on, and search for this black cocker spaniel.  I only found him because I identified his glowing eyes in the darkness, and then called his name.  He ran around the car in the neighbor's driveway to yet another bush.  I bet you can guess what he did there...that's right, he marked his territory.  While I'm STILL standing there in the rain!  With no shoes! ugh. 

Next I lead the conveniently un-collared Tucker back to the house, in which he shook several times to dry off.  I told Grace to get a towel from our house to dry him off.

She came back and her entry had slightly improved, but there was still more lolly-gagging than I would have preferred.

Now the dog is dry, Grace is punching a balloon in my face, and I am wet.  and typing.

what a night.

--for the band that was at our party last night, and I don't want to do my homework.

:P

 I was completely and totally going to go to the concert until I decided that babysitting was just an all-around better choice.  I get paid, and I get to do my homework!

can I get a "WOOHOO!" ?

haha...you know you all just did that.

Allrighty, current event which will most likely be about the crazy presidential election, here I come!

peace.

Wow...

talk about technologically challenged!

this is what was supposed to be the last blog...

wow.

the party last night was INcredible!!! The band came, and set up.  The party was supposed to start at seven o'clock, and be seven thirty, there were only about fifteen people there, including the party-throwers!

I was sooo nervous.  I was afraid that no one would ahow up and that would be really embarrassing if we didn't have anybody come and the band was playing just for us...but then they said to just tell them when to play, and once thy started, everyone crammed into the room and it was just awesome.

NO DRUGS and NO ALCOHOL!...success.

:)

I was also really happy that people respected our rules and it was honestly, just some good. CLEAN. fun.

the band was amazing and everyone loved them!  Then Allyse and I were selling CD's after and we sold twenty-seven...that's pretty good...

And, also, after the minimum day, I went over to Allyse's house as I mentioned earlier, and the song "Apologize" by OneRepublic was on in the car, so then I figured it out on the piano and I was really excited...because I don't know why I ever DIDN'T learn that song...I love it so much!

and then, the band said they were going to do a cover song...guess what it was.

APOLOGIZE!!!

It was fate.

;)

But the entire party went really well, and everyone loved the band and followed them around and kept asking for autographs!

awesome...it was REALLY good stuff.

A lot of other stuff happened that was really good, like Kelsi, made so many baked goods and everything...it was amazing.

And that's ll that I can really say, that's worth saying...I'll talk to you all later!

:)

peace.

p.s.  It's POURING rain!

and I absolutely love it.

:)

ahhhhhhhh...
