okey-dokey i'm quite the slacker this year so far. well, for this blog, with everything else i'm fine.
there has been one request for more information about the dance i attend so many months ago. to this, i'm gonna have to say no. instead, i think i'll write about the dance i attended a few days ago.

at my groovy high school, we dance 80's style. what is this dance called? save ferris. that's right, in the dreary month of january, we made up a dance dedicated to everyone's favorite movie, ferris bueller's day off. a group of me and my gurrls went stag. basically the best night of last week.

i had an ultimatum set to ensure that i'd write again soon, but believe it or not, i forgot it. how about the next time i visit this corner of the internet? HA.

Abraham Lincoln died at age 56.

it is time to talk about me again.
so. last time we talked i was basking in the fantastic potential and glory of summer. how'd it go? lets do a quick review and you can decide for yourself.
1. get my hours in. 

totes happened. well, sort of. well, not really. but i managed to nearly kill everyone enough times while driving to be able to say to my peers 'i'm an experienced driver' with a clear mind. 

2. go to disney land.

nope.nope. i got something better. 

BAM! who else has parents cool enough to give me my first car during my 16th birthday? too bad its already stalled out twice on me, both times in the same intersection.

3. turn sixteen.

honestly, the only way i could have not achieved this is if i died, so that was a cheap one to pull on my followers. i had a pretty wicked gatsby party. my heartiest thanks to those who has attended.

4. start dating. 

you didn't think i'd do it, did you? i went to sadie hawkins with a charming young boy, in so many words it was basically amazing.

5. & drivers license.

yes.

6. lastly, start high school.

people are asking me how i like high school. honestly, there are no surprises. it's just like i expected it to be. which is, a slightly less awkward jr. high school.
on a completely different note, i got a job at kangaroo zoo as a party host.
sorry i'm skimming everyone, just comment which stories you'd like me to exemplify and i'd do so gladly.

Porcupines float in water

for my last post i felt like such a poser using other people's pictures, so today i just took my phone with me & took my own pictures.
first off, today's my last day of jr. high. ever. in so many words, it could've been worse. in a few more words it was akward. really really awkward. i started this blog has recorded a bit of it, so any post before this one will be me in jr. high. after this, i'm a highschooler. unless, of course, i drop out, but that's probably not going to happen.
the last day of school isn't really spent at school. i mean, you might pop in to say bye to your favorite teachers or whatever, but its mostly just you and your friends wandering around town & ruining people's peace. since i don't have many friends, i just wandered around with kate & bethany.

Penguins can jump 6 feet

with only three days left at school, i think it's time for me to write a brain twitching, kick bum summer bucket list. bring it on.
1. get my hours in.

i've barely driven at all during the school year as of no one wants me to drive in less then perfect conditions. that being said, perhaps i shouldn't try driving & kissing, we'll all die.

2. go to disneyland.

my family & i are going to disney land one last time before olivia goes on her mission, kate & i go to highschool, anna goes to jr high, and my parents get white hairs. which leads me to my next goal.

3. turn sixteen.

in disneyland. it can't get much cooler then that. with becoming 16 you get certain privileges, such as:

4.start dating.

honestly, i don't think i'm quite ready to date yet, it seems to make people go stupid. that's terrifying. but i think i'll go on one or two dates just because i can.

5. & drivers license. 

defiantly 100% yes please with extra cheese. i will be the first of my friends with a drivers license and it will be fantastic. until i run out of gas.

6. lastly, start high school. 

technically, it's still going to be summer when i start going to school again. i'll practically be going straight in from disneyland. that's alright though.

the rest is going to be spent reading, biking, and eating yummy food stuffs.

here's a bit of unedited report of my friday:
in seminary yesterday we had to make a picture book in accordance to an assigned chapter from Alma. as a bit of motivation, brother seminary teacher promised a prize. the judge was his nine year old daughter at bedtime. as my group & i read our chapter, i found the chapter morbid & couldn't imagine making a good children's book out of it as of a) all i've to work with is a group of socially akward, white, mormon teenagers &  b) you just can't make it very children book like unless you turn all of the characters into llamas & c) that llama idea was already taken.
so i had the fantastic idea to make the picture book really morbid & creepy. no one in my group liked that idea, but they were to robotic to object. of course it was a bad idea, but what's worse is that i got so exited that i read it to the class. yikes.
it paid off when today we won the contest.
