I do not dress up for Halloween anymore. My five nieces last year were M&M's and the year before that they were fairies. I wonder what they will come up with this year. They should be clowns but I think there Mom would not love that idea.

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 27

2011-10-03T14:23:00.000-07:00

Day 27: A problem you have or have had in the past

I think my problems are pretty small, but one issue I have is socially I am slow. In middle school I fell asleep more than I was ever awake, so I really missed out on all the social practice. I think I have dealt with my problems for a long time, so I really have no clue what it is like to be normal. I talk really loud, that is just a fact. I think it might have something to do with being the youngest in the family, and having four other siblings to compete with to get attention. I really do not understand females, they are so needy. Although I guess that is just part of friendship, my friend asks me, "How her hair looks?". I think to myself as long as it is attached to your skull what is the possible problem. I have never been so needy, at least I do not believe I am, my favorite thing to ask my father is, if I am ugly? Because I know I am not but the fact that he will answer something like, not too ugly. Just makes me laugh at myself. I mean who really can say they are normal, we are all Cuckoo For Cocoa Puffs, just depends on the amount of crazy.

Day 26: If you had a $1,000,000 to spend, how would you spend it

I do not think I would want to ever be put it this position. I would give all of it to my father, I trust him to do something amazing with it and not to hoard it for himself. An elaborate plan is not something I have ever done. With big decisions, I take a lot of time thinking things through and do not believe I would handle just going with it very well. But maybe I am just underestimating myself.

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 24

2011-09-30T10:15:00.000-07:00

Day 24: Your favorite movie and what it is about

FIGHT CLUB

This movie is amazing! Basically the main character has everything he seems to want, and Tyler Durden comes along changes everything. Tyler is played by Brad Pitt, he sure looks so fine. The narrator is played my Edward Norton. Edward's character meets Tyler and some finds himself without a place to live so he calls Tyler. Tyler helps the narrator by changing the way he views the world, through creating a under ground Fight Club. Tyler is sleeping with a women who Edward despises, named Marla Singer. Fight Club becomes a mass gang of men who perform crimes around the town, under the leadership of Tyler. Tyler leaves the organization and Edward follows him to different cities, trying to find him but he is always a step ahead. In a hotel Edward calls Marla and asks her if they have ever had sex. Which she confirms that they have. This helps Edward see that Tyler never existed and that everything that Fight Club has done was because it was ordered by Edward. Edward tries to send Marla away to protect her, after he finds out that He Loves her. At the end of the movie the narrator is trying to stop the organization from killing Marla Singer since she knows too much and blowing up all the credit card companies in order to erase all the debt. Edward is sat down to watch the buildings blow up, and Tyler is waving a gun at him. Edward knows that since Tyler has a gun that he really is holding the gun. So to get rid of Tyler, Edward shoots himself in the head. Marla walks in all mad at him until she notices the massive hole in his head.

Her mom thinks that is her having fun, since she is really comfortable with our family. I normally sing a lot of songs and dance to entertain her, I have yet to try the I like Big Butts song. She will start squawking like a dinosaur.

This show is amazing. It's so hilarious. Level-headed son Michael Bluth takes over the family affairs after his father goes to jail. But the rest of the his spoiled, dysfunctional family are making his job unbearable. It is a unbelievable show and really is awful that the show got canceled. There is always talk about their being a movie.

Day 15: Write 15 interesting facts about yourself

I am the youngest out of four sibling
I read a lot. During High School I would read and walk.
I love to save money.
I make up crazy diseases like lopsy when your sheets on bed are too heavy on one side.
I have been to the best narcolepsy doctor, who at the time confirmed I am a Bitch. Talk about great discovery.
I do not drink alcohol or smoke.
I have a very active imagination.
I can be quite a blond.
I had the highest GPA in High School and the Lower ACT score in my family I think.
Narcolepsy has it's perks I have very real dreams. Last night I was kissing someone. Guess who he is a celebrity? I sure hope it was not the dog I make lay by my bed, eww If people start guessing I will give some more clues in the comments.
I love to Bull Shit. Life is too dark to not have any fun.
I love to be inappropriate, like in church there was a bass player and I will insist that the person is playing a oboe.
At church, I will not repeat what the pastor says to tell your neighbor, last time I checked I am not a drone. Nor will I clap, not going to happen. I tell my father he is clapping for me.
I love to talk about my church where everything you do is, "That's how they get you" Like do not put your hands up that is how they get you. I compare church sometimes to a cult.
I hate when teachers presume I can help my falling asleep in their class. Like hello how about you try to be LESS BORING!! If the normal people have trouble staying awake of course the narcoleptic will fall asleep. They expect some miracle suggestions from me where I say shooting rubber bands, blow horn, or shock collar. I am leaning toward shock collar.

2011-09-20T15:46:00.000-07:00

Day 14: Your earliest memory

I used to love sorting. So when I was little, I would sit in front of the refrigerator and organize the condiments from tallest to smallest. When I was out with my mom at the store I would sit in the cart and organize the things that were put in the cart. I would get angry when my mom kept on putting more food into the cart, therefore ruining my organization. Not sure if this is my earliest memory but it is what I remember.

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 9

2011-09-15T11:42:00.000-07:00

Day 9: If you could have any job in the world what would it be

Paradise Island Caretaker

Wow this job sounds amazing! This job purpose is to explore Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef, while promoting the area through writing a blog. This person gets paid $111,000 for a six month contract to serve as caretaker of a tropical Australian Island. This person who is selected now gets the privilege to live rent-free in a three-bedroom villa, complete with a pool.

This person beat out nearly 35,000 applicants from around the world. Before getting the job he had to spend four days on the island for an extended interview process, which required applicants to snorkel through crystalline waters, gorge themselves at a beachside barbecue and relax at a spa. He also had to demonstrate his blogging abilities, take swimming tests and sit through in-person interviews. Sounds like a piece of cake, although seems like you should be in your best shape.

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 8

2011-09-14T14:00:00.000-07:00

Day 8: A moment you felt the most satisfied with

I would say overcoming narcolepsy. Although I still have this disease, it does not really control much about my life. I graduated high school with the highest GPA out of all my siblings. When I am really deeply interested in reading a book, I can finish it in less than a week. I feel that most people that I have classes with; do not even notice that I have any sort of neurological sleep disorder, or would be surprised to learn I do. Sometimes I fall asleep, but I don't think anyone really notices, like last Thursday I did and when I woke up there were a couple of notes in complete gibberish. I enjoy that aspect of people not really seeing my disease. And honestly I think I shine more in spite of my narcolepsy.

Now I think my mom needs to get one of these so we can try it out, if the baby has been delivered. Please don't make it look like it was not.

4. The Hair Bib

When you want an excuse to make your child look like a astronaut. It is probably a cheap Halloween costume, just saying.

5. The Baby Hanger

Seems like just a way to put children in front of the telly. Or to forget that kids were not meant to be hung up like a coat.

6. Baby Perfume

This is not meant to replace bathing, not should it be used to opt out of changing the babies diaper. Why tamper with that fresh baby smell.

7. Baby Bathrobe

Unless your rocking this as an all day outfit, it is probably not worth getting out when a towel will work just fine.

8. Padded Baby Helmet

Your child should not feel like it lives in an insane asylum.

2011-09-13T10:36:00.000-07:00

Day 7: Your favorite childhood toys.

My favorite childhood toy was dollhouse. I loved to play dollhouse when I was little. I always played alone, because on the occasion I let my older sister Tara and Kyle play they would mess up everything. A tornado would hit, or the babies would jump off of the banister. I still have all my dollhouse stuff I have two big houses and some other smaller building. I always had a lot of fun playing dollhouse all though it was a big mess in my room at times.

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 6

2011-09-12T08:00:00.000-07:00

My zodiac sign is Sagittarius. I would say I have some of these traits for this sign, and some traits are completely inaccurate. I believe I share these trait which are for a Sagittarius: good-humored, honest, plenty of food and drink, enjoy giveaways, and being too safe. I think some other traits are completely inaccurate. Optimistic, I am not at all I should try harder to be optimistic, but I am now a glass half empty type of person. Careless, I think I might have a touch of a I don't care attitude but I know on specific things I care too much. Irresponsible, definitely not I am very responsible, I do all my work for class. Superficial, I mean who does not like to look good, but I don't think I am superficial. I most certainly am not shallow, or easy, which I think some females today do whatever they want and morals are completely missing. I would rather be one in a million than just another woman who does exactly what males expect of woman today. Being on the move at all times, I am not on the move at all times, but I am trying to exercise more. Perfumes and make up, I do not use perfume and hate the awful smell of any perfume, I have some make up and do not really use it. Flirting, I barely flirt but if I had someone to flirt with I would as of now I have no practice in flirting.

I think these zodiac signs are a joke, of course with Sagittarius traits, some traits are accurate while others are inaccurate.

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 4

2011-09-10T11:00:00.000-07:00

My Views on Religion

I believe Jesus died on the cross for everyone's sins. That we are all sinners. No amount of good works is going to get any person into heaven. The only way is to accept the free gift of eternal life which is only possible through Jesus. To ask him into your heart and believe in him.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that

whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 3:16 NIV

Imagine for a minute that the bible is not true that all the stories were just inaccurate. The reason Jesus was attacked so much was because the other people in that time could clearly see all the miraculous things Jesus was doing. If he was just another normal human who was a sinner, they would not have batted a eye. But because he preformed many miracles he clearly showed how abundant his power is in history. Like all the books of the bible would have been written if there was really no Jesus who sacrificed his life for us. That the perfect lamb, died for all our past and future sins. So we can have hope in him through the gift of eternal life. The highest form of sacrifice to lay down your life for mankind, with knowing that God could have saved him at any moment, but his plan was to give the world hope in him.

Can you really reject the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ?

Five Question Friday

2011-09-09T11:02:00.000-07:00

1. What ring tone do you have on your cell phone?

On my cell phone I have old ring as my ring tone.

2. What is your favorite memory from this summer?

It would be watching Javey last Friday, she is so cute. She will be 9 months in 4 days. I had a lot of fun making her laugh, and kissing her chubby little cheeks. I love holding her like a infant, I know soon enough she will be walking around, and eventually she will not be held very much at all.

3. Paper books or ebooks?

I do not really have a preference, I get any books I want from the local library. So weather it's a paper book or ebook, as long as it's the book I want. I don't think it really matters.

4. If you could have one home upgrade what would it be and why?

I live with my parents, so I would say a upgrade to the kitchen is what they need most kitchen upgrapes normal give you the best return for the money the investors spend.

5. When was your first serious boyfriend/girlfriend?

I have yet to have a serious boyfriend.

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 3

2011-09-09T11:00:00.000-07:00

My top 5 pet peeves

1. Smells

Perfume is the worse. I feel people put on way too much like they are trying to cover up the fact that they never shower. Or that even their belly button needs to smell great, or else someone might notice. I think soap and deodorant is enough to make you smell good, and perfume is over kill. Not that I do not understand wanting to smell good, but it's like they broke a bottle of perfume and are using the whole thing to make them smell better. Paint is another very irratating smell, but I do not have wet paint drying a lot so that I have to smell that awful scent.

2. Repeating Myself

I will not repeat myself, unless it's actually important. But normally will not because I feel people should have listened the first time.

3. People who specifically Don't Listen to A Thing I Say

Really annoys me, to feel I can talk but from one particular person can not even get eye contact. Or anything so really makes me want to do the same to this person. Another person will talk and this person actually acknowledges the other persons existence. But with me I am just a buzzing noise this person needs to drowned out, not that it's like that all the time but really you cannot even raise your eyebrows. Like Hello, I listen to every little thing that comes out of your mouth, but you can not do that for me. I guess I should just be happy I ever notice people listening.

4. People who do the things I was just told not to do by said person

I said the word bloody, and was told that it's a swear word and not to say that, okay sure thing your completely right. Seriously that's a swear word. Like are you kidding me, I think said person was just on a power trip. Like tomorrow moist panties will be added to the list and then weird, ignorant, stupid, freak, and delusional. We will be left with a few words that only mean something positive. Then next day said person actually uses an ACTUAL CURSE WORD not panties or moist, and hey that's alright only I have to watch what I say. I guess you don't even notice since it's probably a habit, and you can blend it in with all your other words. Why stop there let add positive words to the list, BLOODY is a swear I must have missed that day at school thanks for the improved education.

5. People Who Don't Get It's A Joke

I am very lucky to have one parent, one brother, and one sister, who have the same sense of humor as I do. Life is dull and the world is going to hell, not literally, but disasters are so common along with wars and other frightening stuff. I like to be unexpected, life the time we have goes by very fast, and I will just quote Marilyn, "I would rather be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

30 Day Challenge: Day 2

2011-09-08T10:32:00.000-07:00

I found this fun 30 Day Challenge to participate in, if you want to join in this fun challenge feel free. I look forward to reading about you if you participate. Please leave a comment if you are going to start the 30 Day Challenge, with a link to your day 1 post.

I am single. I am one of those women who does not need a man to be complete. I know myself very well and right now do not mind not being in a relationship. I am working on school and friendship. Although, I do think I am not too busy I will be waiting for the timing to be right, even though at times the waiting really sucks, I guess I will take it one day at a time. If I have to wait that long, I might learn to some patience. I hope that I do not have to wait too long.

Grey's Anatomy Premiere

2011-09-05T14:03:00.000-07:00

Grey's Anatomy will premiere on ABC on September 22, with a two-hour premiere. This will be Patrick Dempsey's last season with the show. It's kind of sad for him to go since the show is centered around Meredith and Derek since the start. I wonder if this will be the last season of Grey's Anatomy or if it will continue on without Derek. All shows come to a end at some time so I would rather it end on a good note than struggle for viewers after Derek is gone. Would you stop watching Grey's Anatomy if there was a Season 9 without Patrick Dempsey's character Derek?

Spoilers Ahead Stop Reading...

SEASON 8 SPOILERS

If you are interested in knowing some spoilers about the upcoming season 8 here they are:

Shonda Rhimes shared these spoilers. Here is a quote from her about Meredith and Derek

"We open the [first] episode with Derek working on their dream house, and I would love to have them moving in around the end of the season. Baby Zola is transformative for Meredith, and what happens will be painful, unexpected, and wonderful." Shonda Rhimes

We'll know by the end of the September 22 season premiere whether or not Cristina will keep the baby.
A giant sinkhole opens up in a Seattle street during the two-hour premiere.
New chief resident April will likely lose her virginity.
We'll meet Jackson's mom; Debbie Allen is cast for the role.
Alzheimer's-stricken Adele will continue to decline.
A Shepherd family reunion for Derek and his mother and sisters is in the works.
Mark Sloan will be mentoring Jackson, as he once did with Alex when he was dating Lexie; so it's more of a situation that if you break her heart, I'll break your face.

Happiness seems made to be spared. –Jean Racine

To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with. –Mark Twain

Happiness sneaks in through a door you don’t know you left open. –John Barrymore

To my friend-

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you for not only what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good, and more than any fate could have done to make me happy, You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it by being yourself. Perhaps that is what being a friend means, after all.

Remember to always make the little decisions with your head and the big decisions with your heart.

I always see better with my heart.

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. –Proverbs 23:7

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or the red fire of a long winter’s evening.

Silences make the real conversations between friends.

Not the saying but the never needing to say

Friendship makes a fair day out of the storms and tempests of affections and brings daylight to the darkness and confusion of thoughts. –Mme. de Lafayette

Small Talk Six: Those School Girl (Or Boy)

2009-08-29T19:40:00.000-07:00

There are many things that I like about school and some that I dislike.

Here is my 6:

1. I loved the structure in school.

2. I loved homework.

3. I hated tests.

4. I loved that I have normal parents who don't pressure me about my grades, and they normal reward me for my effort.

5. I loved getting to know your different teachers and what they are about.

6. I hated when a teacher will tell me to put my book away. Like I only walk around with half a brain, and cannot follow what they are saying and read. Onless they are speaking in another language then I would not be able to follow nor would I even try.

Just a little ranting and remind myself, one year left of high school.
