Love Story Meets Viva La Vida

So I haven't been on here in forever... to make it up to you check this out :)

Im Here!

I'm back! Sorry, been really busy and such so..

Um.. I thought I'd get on and write a QOTD for you. I forget where I heard or saw or read this but I heard or saw or read it somewhere so...

"You are nothing, you have nothing. You don't believe me? Then do something, make a difference, and prove me wrong."

Just thought I'd let you in on that awesomeness, your welcome.

Storm Chaser

So I haven't been on here in a while...

Rhythm Express had our 2nd competition of the season last weekend. It was so much fun!! We left school early on Friday, performed that night, got Grand Champs again, watched Pure Elegance kick butt and the Choraliers also win Grand Champs (big surprise :]) the next day, and then left on Sunday. It was crazy...

Um... I put everything basically in that big sentence above and now I can only think of one more thing to say. :(

The Rhythm Express techies, aka me (rrandom), chia, and newbie, finally got our tech shirts!! Since our theme this year is storms, ("riding the strom out" is our opener, "blue skies" is the ballad, "the thunder rolls" is the boy's number, "it's raining men" is our girl's number, and "this joint is jumping" is the closer) our shirts have "Storm Chasers" on the back. They've got a little tornado and some stars and stuff too. :)

So now I'm a Storm Chasing, two time Grand Champian, techie! :p

Facebook

So I have wanted a facebook for a while now and last night at approximately 9:57, my parents cracked. :)

My mom decided a while ago that I had to wait until my birthday to get one. Then last night, randomly she says that if it's ok with Papa I can get one. So I got one. Last night.

That is all. :]

Favorites

So a little while ago someone asked me what my favorite song was. I had to tell them I didn't know because I didn't know. I hate that. It's so annoying when someone answers that and it's been bothering me since.

After a lot of thought and listening to a lot of music, I decided that I still don't know. Which sucks. :( So I will be doing a ton of blabbing until I think of it because I decided that I won't end this post until I am jammin to my favorite song...

Let's see...

On the 16th Rhythm Express, the Middle/Freshman School show choir, had our first competition. It was soo much fun! :) We won a lot of the awards (best choreography, best male/female vocals, etc.) and got Grand Champs!! The trophy we got is huge, taller than me, which I guess isn't that impressive.. But it's also taller than Taylor, the tallest kid in Rhythm and trust me, he's tall.

The Lemons visited Ohio for almost a week and were staying with us. I tried to steal Brookie and Ian, the youngest two, but they have some pretty tough security. (haha, that was a joke but I seriously wanted to kidnap them) It was fun having them here and we got some pretty yummy bread out of it.

A whole bunch of people had a James Bond night yesterday. It was awesome. We hung out at Claire's and watched Casino Royale. I met someone from Barcelona!! I love his accent, actually I love all accents. :) Then we went to the cheapy theatres and watched Quantom of Solace. It was good but it was also really late so we were pretty tired. Plus, there was a bunch of sand in the movie and it was putting me to sleep. I had a dream that I was sleeping in the desert. Seriously.

Um.. Ryan's almost ready to turn in papers. It's going to be so cool. I really want him to go somewhere foreign. Not because I want him super gone and away, but because it would be oober exciting and amazing.

So... I've babbled and I've thought and my new favorite song for the moment is Blue Skies, which is Rhythm's ballad this year. It's basically adorable. :)

Just Think About It

Alma chapter 7:

11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.
13 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.

I guess this is my Quote Me for today. :)
