right now i'm bored

b/c jessica just left and now i have nothing to do except...ahem...read 'the return of the king' which i don't particularly want to do right now. AND NOBODY IS EMAILING ME!!!!!!!!!!! i'm sad. my friends don't like me....jk :) they'll prob all email me later tonight....save the best for last!!! jkjkjk!!! lol :)

anyway, this is driving me nuts b/c jessica changed the resolution on the computer and i want the font to be bigger, but i can't change that unless i have the parental controls password (which i don't have). and right now daddy is busy and my mom is in another room. yeah, so i'll just wait till later i guess. yeah, i like the resolution thingie, but i just want the font bigger on stuff. i guess i'm just used to everything being big.

oh! here's the pic i decided to put on my desktop!!! it's sooooooo awesome! jessica copied it onto my computer.



isn't it soooooooooo cute??? there's a bunch more, but i like this one the best i think :) it's cute!

ok, sooooooooo......hm.....'rebirthing' by skillet just went off. i like that song. now the spiderman theme song is on! i loooooooooove it!!!!!!! it's awesome! it wasn't what i waslooking for when i searched for spiderman music, but it's awesome! i wanted the music from the movies, but playlist.com didn't have that. the spiderman movies are my all time favorites, but now they have some competition! lord of the rings :) haha

today jessica fixed my parents' computer. so now it's working! yay! lol :) we also went to international buffet for lunch. i like that restaurant. it's chinese. i don't like chinese, but this place is awesome! (oooh! i just thought of something! i wonder what my blog looks like....i'll have to look at it after i post this...)

right now the part i'm at in return of the king is where sam is trying to find and rescue frodo. the part right after frodo gets stung by the spider...yuck! that part is seriously nasty!!!! oh! i remember the orcs' names!!! the captains of the orcs. one is named 'shagrat' and one is 'gorbag'. yeah, shagrat sounds totally disgusting! i was picturing him as being one of the better looking orcs (well, NONE of them are even close to being good looking), but he sounds like one of the worse ones!! eewwww! yeah, orcs are sick, but i think i'd rather meet a couple of them than shelob (the spider). i HATE spiders!!!!!! they are sooooooo creepy!!!!!!!! i have one though, that is my friend. his name is walter. well, he's gone now, but he WAS my friend. i hope i haven't already told this story, but if you've already heard it you can just skip over it :) um, so i was carrying symon from the basement back up to the house. and at the bottom of the stairs on the wall, i saw something just like, stuck on the wall. so i looked closer, adn it was a spider!!!!! so i freaked out and ran upstairs and was like "MOMMY!!! THERE'S THIS HUGE SPIDER ON THE WALL!!!!!! CAN YOU PLEASE GET IT OFF??!!" and then she was like, "oh yeah, i squished that one this morning. it's dead." and i was like, "well, can you still get it off b/c i don't want to have to look at it every day when i scoop the litterbox!" and then daddy was in the kitchen and he was like "if it's gonna bother you that much, YOU can get it off!" so then i decided that i would protest this by just leaving it. so i named it and it became my friend. but then finally it had been there so long that it dried up and fell off the wall :( i was sad! walter was my friend! i said 'hi' to him everytime i passed him!!! oh well. there is still a little bit of him left on the wall...hahaha! i know, it's disgusting. but I'M not taking care of it!!!!!!!!

ok, well i have to get off now, so bye!

today i wanted to share

this awesome recipe that i made up! well, ben and i think it's awesome :) but don't even bother reading it if you are the type of person that doesn't have taste buds (like, you don't like spicy stuff; when you go to subway, you don't get hardly anything on ur sub, etc). ok, all the ingredients are 'to taste'. just sprinkle on as much as you want :)

one egg (ok, that's the only one that is not 'to taste :)
hot sauce ("frank's red hot" is awesome!)
taco seasoning (we use "tone's", but idk if it matters or not)
pepper
ur favorite grated cheese (i use some kind of yellow cheese...idk exactly what kind it is though haha :)
two pieces of bread (or a sandwich roll or something)

that's how i always make my egg sandwich!! it's soooooooooo yummy! oh, and i almost forgot, if you want to, you can put bacon on it too! i usually do two pieces. and you could prob put like, red peppers in it...wow, that would be good! and spinach...yeah, ok, i am so trying this next time! at least the spinach part, i don't think we have any red peppers at the moment. and i think i've tried oregeno b4, i can't remember if it was good or not....well, i'll assume that it wasn't that great since i didn't do it anymore! oh! onion! like, as long as you're not going anywhere that day...haha :) green onion is good, i've done that b4. i've also done little cube thingies of ham. we had those in our refrigerator and no one was eating it or anything, so i was allowed to put it in my egg sandwich! it was soooooooooo good!!!!!!! yeah, u can pretty much put anything in it! i wonder if chocolate would be good........jk!!!!
anyway, i just felt like sharing my beautiful recipe :) haha! oh yeah! today i added two songs to my playlist: 'red is blue' by ben folds (who, btw i would not recommend as a favorite singer. i just heard that song on a movie and liked it), and 'the return of the king' it's a ten minute song! it's soooooooo pretty! it even has the part from the movie where aragorn is singing right after he is crowned king of gondor! and it also has the m(oh! he's singing right now! i love his voice)usic that they always play when they're showing the shire. (oh! now someone is 'oo'ing! it's pretty! ok, i think it's about to go to a 'shire sounding' part of the song!!! maaaaybeeee....ok, maybe not)
oh yeah, i've decided that (oh! now it is a shire sounding song!!!!! i love it! for some reason it makes me want to cry even though it's happy sounding!) well, first of all, i want to have a lord of the rings bday party for my sixteenth bday! we (ben and i) get bday parties for our even numbered bdays. so, i want to have my friends that would actually appreciate lord of the rings (so i guess erin is not included...jk! she hasn't seen them yet, and if, by that time, she still hasn't, she HAS to come to my party!) and we'll watch all of the movies (the extended editions of course)!!!!!! that would be sooooooooo much fun! i'm getting excited just thinking about it!!!! i also decided that i am going to have a lord of the rings wedding. that would be amazing! i could wear the dress that eowyn (ok, at the moment i am thinking that symon is possesed! he keeps glancing at the ceiling and then darting to another section ot the room) (OUCH!!!!! i had my headphones turned up really loud so i could hear the lord of the rings music, and then it went to a newsboys song! wow. that was painful!) wore in 'the two towers'. the white one that she is wearing when grima is talking to her. it's soooooo pretty! plus, it's white! yeah, i think that would be amazing! i prob wouldn't have thought of it if grandma hadn't told me that one of jessica's friends at one time wanted a lord of the rings wedding. but she didn't end up doing that. when grandma told me that, i was like "wow...can u say 'obsessed'?" haha, but now that i've seen the movies, i think that would be sooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then of course my wedding ring could have something written in elvish, but it would have to only be visible when it was put into fire. man, that would be amazing!!!!! haha :)
ok, now that you prob think i'm completely insane, i'll type about something else....hm....."WITH SPOONS HELD HIGH, WE BID OUR BROTHER 'CHEERIO' when the toast is burned and all the milk has turned and cap'n crunch is waving 'fare well', when the Big One finds you may this song remind you that they don't serve breakfast in hell!" i love that song!!!!!! ('breakfast' by newsboys) now i'm listening to 'ignition' by tobymac.
hm.....i should copy/paste the email i sent to my friends last night, onto here. that would be funny....nah, it was stupid!!!!!! part of the email was about toothpaste. and another was about plucking my eyebrows, so yeah. i'm sure you don't want to read it.
um......let's seeeee......OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!! i just remembered! ok, so wednesday nite i was talking to matt, and he was like "oh! come here!" and then he ran off to the old jr high room. so i followed him, and then right outside the door he was like "stay there" and then i was like 'okaaaay'. then he came back out with a book and he started reading something out loud and i immediately realized that it was 'return of the king' and i was like "MATT!!!" and he was like 'it's the last paragraph!' and then i was like 'noooo!' and i ran back to base camp. but he followed me and read loudly so i had to hear at least part of it. grrrrrrrr! oh, and guess what? apparently he had started 'fellowship of the ring' on like, tuesday. and then he stayed up until three in the morning so he could finish the whole series. so then when he had finished ruining the book for me, he closed it and was like "and that was the eleventh time i've read it"!!!!!!!!! holy cow!!!!!!! that is like, major obsession!!!!!!!! even though i didn't hear alot of it, i now know a couple things that are in the last paragraph! i won't write them here in case anyone is reading this who hasn't read the series yet (like nathan :). i wouldn't want to ruin it for them :) and matt, if YOU'RE reading this, i'm still mad at you.
ok, complete change of subject here, i can't wait until summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the pool, the reading contest, the absense of school!!!!!!! not having to wear a jacket!!!!!! not having to wear socks all the time (ok, i'll admit, i'm not wearing them right now, but i should be...my toes are purple. i'll go put some on right now.....much better! :)
oh!!!!!!!! i discovered my new favorite store yesterday!!!!!! it's called 'rue 21'. it is soooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!! i'm shopping there from now on! well, first i have to get money.......speaking of which, i also decided yesterday that i am gonna start saving up for a mustang now. that's my dream car, and if i really want one, i should prob start putting aside some money for it now! yeah, i just decided that i want a 2009 mustang! i looked up some pics of it and it's soooooo cool!!!!!!!!! ok, i'm gonna do another post with the pics.
ipml (lol :)

it snowed

yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!! it was awesome!!!! daddy had to stay home from work, and aunt janet did too so she came over. then we all went out in the woods and went sledding! we have this road in our woods that at one point is pretty steep and goes over our creek. so we made a sled track there. it was sooooooo much fun! and then last night erin and her family came over and we went sledding in the dark. oh! when we were about to go back to the house, i had to go back up the hill to get a sled that had been left up there. well, my parents had been standing in front of the part of the track that went over the creek to make sure that no one fell in. so then when i was gonna ride the sled back down the hill, my parents were gonna stop guarding the creek cuz they were like 'it's only one more time, she'll be fine." but they decided to stay anyway, just in case. and guess what! i would have gone into the creek had daddy not stayed there! i was going down the hill at top speed adn i was like "YAY!!!!!!! this is the first time tonight i haven't run into a tree!" and then i was going so fast and it was dark so therefore i couldn't see, adn then next thing i know i'm getting whacked in the face with daddy and daddy's sled cuz i ran into him! i totally almost went in! that would've been bad!!!
anyway, that's what we did all day yesterday! it was awesome!!!!!!
ok, right now i'm dying to watch the whole 'lord of the rings' series again b/c i'm listening to "gollum's song". my family and i just finished watching the whole movie series a few days ago. now i've seen 'the fellowship of the ring' three times, 'the two towers' four times, and 'the return of the king' two times!!! and i'm still reading 'the return of the king' right now. well, this morning reading 'thr3e' by ted dekker. it is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone should read that book! ok, this is my list of books by ted dekker that i want to read:

Obsessed
Blink
Saint
Skin
Black
Red
White
The Lost Books (series)
Sinner
Adam
Showdown
Blink of an Eye
Boneman's Daughters (which hasn't come out yet)

yeah, i can't wait to read all of those! but i have to finish 'return of the king' first. i mean, it's ok, but right now it's just a really boring part! and i'd rather be reading a ted dekker book! i WANT to read about frodo and sam, but right now i'm stuck with theoden and eomer and merry! oh, and of course 'dernhelm' who i'm pretty sure is actually eowyn. yeah, i figured it out b/c of the movie even though that didn't happen in the movie. like, eowyn is a girl, therefore she is not allowed to go to battle even though she really wants to. so right now merry is riding with this guy named dernhelm, even though merry isn't supposed to be going to battle. and merry asked dernhelm who he was and dernhelm is like 'you don't know?' so then in the movie merry and eowyn are riding together and she's just trying to hide her face from theoden (her uncle, the king) b/c she knows she's not supposed to be there. but anyway, i think that dernhelm is actually eowyn. so yeah.
well, i'm gonna work on my story...which reminds me that i suppose i should put another part of my other story on here! here it is:




"Is that your dragon field?" Jacob asked Erin.
Erin nodded, "Yes, and there is my dragon, Rovert. Isn’t he precious?"
Jacob laughed, "Well, ‘precious’ is not the word I would have chosen. But he is a very noble-looking beast."
As they were mounting Rovert, they saw a man running toward them.
"Stop! The king has ordered that no one be allowed to leave the castle boundaries!" the man yelled.
As soon as Jacob was seated on Rovert, they took off, leaving the man to continue yelling at them. When they flew over the area where they had left Elizabeth and Matthew, they saw a band of soldiers, but no dragon.
"Oh, I hope they got away safely!" Erin gasped.
"I’m sure they did. Nomys is a very fast dragon," said Jacob.
Eventually, Erin and Jacob reached the palace in Azmi. There they found Elizabeth and Matthew waiting for them. Erin tied Rovert to the dragon hitching post, and then ran over to them. She hugged Elizabeth and then asked what had happened to them.
Matthew answered, "We saw some Ymbraian soldiers coming in our direction, so we left. It is a good thing that we did, because even from that distance some of their arrows came quite close to hitting us! But it all worked out fine."
Elizabeth handed Jacob the Crown. "I kept It safe for you."
Jacob held it in his hands and looked at it. "I was thinking –"
"That is scary!" Matthew interrupted.
Jacob shot him a look. "I was thinking, I do not feel that it is right for one person to hold the power that wearing the Crown will bring. My father has already told me that he will never wear It, he assumes that I will wear It one day. But I do not think I will – at least not by myself."
"What do you mean, Jacob?" Elizabeth asked.
Jacob looked at the Crown again. "What if it is possible for this Crown to be remolded. We could all share Its power. That way, not just one person would have so much power."
Erin sat down on one of the steps. "Who would you share It with? And what would It be remolded into?" she asked.
"I would share it with you three, of course." Jacob answered. "And I thought we could remold it into four bracelets. Do you all agree?"
Matthew and Elizabeth nodded. Then Elizabeth said, "I think that is a brilliant idea. I agree that not just one person should hold that much power, not that I don’t think you could handle it," she smiled at him.
Then Jacob turned to Erin, "Do you agree with this, Erin?"
Erin looked up at all of them. "I don’t know. Y’all just met me today! How do you know I am trustworthy?"
Elizabeth winced, "Y’all?"
Erin laughed, "Sorry. I talk strangely when I am trying to make a tough decision."
"Anyway," said Jacob. "We can tell you are trustworthy by the way you helped us so much! Neither you nor your father would have risked letting the Crown out of the castle, so it couldn’t be part of an evil scheme. Do you two agree with me?" he asked, turning to Elizabeth and Matthew.
They both agreed.
Erin smiled, "Then I accept your offer!"
A few days later, Jacob had the Crown remolded into four bracelets. The Bracelets looked like miniatures of the Crown. Since Jacob and Elizabeth’s father was still king, they waited until he stepped down to actually wear the Bracelets. The only time they put them on before that was to stop Erin’s father from attacking Azmi. After they had succeeded in that matter, they took them off and placed them in a safe, guarded room. When they eventually became the rulers of Azmi, they were the best rulers the Azmians had ever seen, or have seen since.

The End

shadow

is doing much better now. he's jumping up on our counters and table (which he gets in trouble for), and playing with ben's marbles, and he's going outside every day now. he just comes in at nite. so we're very thankful that he's so much better. =)
right now i'm reading the first book in "the lord of the rings", 'the fellowship of the ring.' it is soooooo good! i can't wait to finish it so i can get to the next one and also watch the movie. i've already watched all the movies, but i did that before i read the books, so hopefully the movies will make more sense this time around lol =)
i can't wait until this weekend! friday we're going to a pumpkin patch/corn maze with our homeschool group. that should be fun. and then friday nite we have fun for all at our church. i'm dressing up in an amish outfit (oh yeah, fun for all is our church's alternative to trick-or-treating). i'm too old for fun for all, but i get to help out with it. (personnally, i think being in jr. high and getting to help out in stuff like this is better than actually doing it). at the end we (the helpers) get to play on the big blow-up bouncy things (i'll have to take a change of clothes since i'll be wearing a dress lol).
so then on saturday i have my bday party. actually my bday isn't in october, it's in november, but we're having the party in oct. cuz it's a little warmer. yeah, we're gonna have a campfire, and play games, and we're gonna eat hobo stew. just in case u don't know what hobo stew is, i'll tell u. everyone brings a can of their favorite soup (or just whatever soup they have in their pantry and nobody is eating) and we add all of the cans of soup to one pot. we had it while we were camping, and it was really good. the first time i heard of it was when ben went to one of his friend's bday party and they had it there. but anyway, i think it's gonna be really good. but i told everyone NOT to bring oyster stew or clam chowder. i cannot stand either one (well, i've never actually had either, but just the thought....ugh). but i won't be surprised at all if someone (especially one of the guys) brings one of those just to tick me off. but i can't wait! i'm just sooooo excited. unfortunately though, three of the girls will be quite late. they're doing a DIA activity together. but so far everyone is able to come (except maybe kat, she might have the flu).
well, ipml!
