Nothing

Nothing is a strange word. It can mean one of three things:

1. absolutely nothing (in it's bare form)
2. something that's barely anything
3. something really important (normally that is either none of your business, or is your business, not the speaker's)

If those definitions confused you to death, here are some examples of the three types.

1. Miss Chi walks to your desk and peers down at your clean, white peice of paper. "What have you written so far?" she asks, even though it is obvious. "Nothing," you sheepishly reply.
2. You see Elisa laying on the grass, her legs crossed, hands behind her head. "What are you doing?" you question her. "Nothing," she replies.
3. You walk up to Jordan and Luke talking intently. As soon as you appear beside them, they quickly stop talking. "What are you guys talking about?" you ask suspiciously. "Nothing," they reply, blushing and trying desperately to look innocent.

(all incidents are purely fictional)

It has such an all-encompassing, widely used word, that holds many meanings. Without it, the devoid, the dull, and the suprisingly interesting, would be without testament.

Awesome day!

I'm not gonna go into all the little details why, but I assure you it was fun!

One thing wasn't so great though. In English, I was just sitting there minding my own busines when Miss Chi announces that we are having the book report oral presentation. "WHAT??" I thought, gazing around at all the perfectly content and relaxed students. I freaked out. Quickly opening my book I flipped the pages loudly, and hastily scribbled out an outline. I winged it, but it turned out all right. Well, other than the fact that I was informed by Miss Chi that my presentation was "boring". Thanks a lot.

ANOTHER THING - I'm not sure if this is considered good or not but Miss Rina enlightened me to the fact that I look like a Japanese cartoon caracter. Um, ok? Here's a pic of what I think she meant.

Is that a good thing to look like her? I'm unsure.

Well, it was a fun day overall. I hope yours was just as um, informative.....?

I LOVE YOU OWL CITY!!!

And yes I am yelling.

I think.

Today I started playing Hello Seatle and doing algebra. Suddenly, something came over me and I leapt out of my chair and started jumping up and down and kind of dancing. Or whatever you wanna call it. For like the whole time, and the next song, hot air balloon (they are my feel-good songs).

I can do nothing but smile now. =D

AHH!! Life is good.

interesting....

I just found out something yesterday!!

I like this guy in school!!

hmmm.... didn't know that.

I'm sure that infomation will be helpful in the future

that was sarcasm. One thing I hate about highschool - apparently it's neccessary to like someone.

GRRRRR!!!!!!!

song lyrics for:
Not Alone

I raise my face to the falling rain
I cry out to God to help me
I know He can
But will He, will He, will He….?
Fix this broken heart
shattered like glass
broken, tattered, torn


look at this mess i've made
all the friends i've betrayed
I can't go on this way
i've lost the grip on life
that

Oooh, I'm soo alo-o-o-one, alone

im tryin to hold on in this rocking world
i feel as if im gonna fall off
turnin', turnin' turnin' so fast
I can't keep up
i cant hold on - no longer
my hands are slipping'


look at this mess i've made
friends that i've betrayed
I can't go on this way
i've lost the grip on life
that i never had

Ooh, I'm soo alo-o-o-one, alone


tha' dawn breaks the silence
i hear a whispered word
why are you trying?
to hold onto the world?
I'm your World, and I'm holding onto to you!!!!

But I say -
Jesus, look at this mess I've made
the friends that I've betrayed
I kept on in that way
i lost the grip on life
that i never had

But he still whispers back at me,

My lovely child - your not A - LOOOOOOO-O-O-ONE
ALOOOO-O-O-ONE
not alone

Today

Today was a super blonde day. I did a bunch of blonde stuff, but I think one of the worst (IF you don't count the "raw meat" episode) was when I was walking back to the farm with Andrew and Cassandra. Cassandra was talking in Romanian to Mr. Cosmin (they are both Romanian), and I happened to hear him say "Da" several times. I asked Cassandra if that meant yes, and she said that I was correct. I then promptly replied, "That's funny, because "da" is yes in Romanian too!" Andrew and Cassandra just stared at me for like 37 seconds, until I blushed and sheepishly said, "You WERE speaking in Romanian, huh?" to which she wordlessly nodded. DER-TA-DER!!! DUH!!

I'm dumb.

And blonde.

Ok, I'm going to bed. I need the beauty (and hopefully brain!) sleep.

Goodnight. Sleep tight.

Funny mistake

Ok, so I was in line with Canada last night, with Maria also. Canada was talking about how we were having chicken noodle soup for dinner and how excited he was, because he was craving noodles!! Ok, not too abnormal. BUT just wait. then he said he wanted some microwaved raw meat. I'm sorry, but personally I think that's abnormal. And gross. I wasn't sure why he said that, maybe thats what they eat in Canada or something......or maybe he was just a little.........let's just say unique. Anyway, we talked for like 5 miutes about how much he loved it, even though it was unhealthy because it had so much sodium in it. Inside I'm thinking, sodium!! You're worring about sodium? Raw meat can kill you!!! Well, he asked me if I had any, and I'm like, yah right. I carry raw meat with me whereever I go. No Canada, I have no raw meat on hand. Then he asked if I could get him some. I said ummmmmmmmmm........... anyway, it was getting quite awkward until Rachel saved the day! She asked me what Canada asked me to get for him and I said, "Raw meat." And Canada started rolling on the ground, tears streaming from his eyes. After 7.8 minutes he finally stopped laughing so hard, and managed to squeak out - not raw meat! ramon! omigoodness did I feel stupid. Then he asked - how stupid do you think I am don't answer that. for your information, I was rolling on the ground also. Not crying as much as Canada though.


I'm an idiot. It makes a great story though!!!! =P

NEW LOOK

you probably noticed, I changed my template for My BIg LIttle World. How do you like it (be honest). Can you read the font and colors? Does the template draw you in, do you want to keep reading? OR - is it distracting?? Does it make you want to never check this sight again?? (I hope not...)

PLEASE COMMENT with your critique. I repeat - PLEASE COMMENT!!!

Please be honest. I need ya'lls help!!!!!!!

Thanks!!!!! <3 you guys!!

*Elisa update*

Well, I probably should have told you much sooner, but Elisa didn't tear anything after all. She knocked her kneecap out of joint (ouch!!). She was supposed to have the crutches for 7-10 more weeks, but praise the Lord, she's off of them (thanks to MANY prayers!!)

Thanks for praying for her! We love you, Shortstuff!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to catch you guys up! - SPECIAL: crashing off the couch

****my blog is back to normal, no more previous posts :D****

Haha, it's been a while! I've been sooo busy!! Let's see......

Mmmm..... I love this song!! (i'm listening to mighty to save) lol random

Aanyyyywaaaaay, two Friday nights ago, we had family home vespers. You see, at my school, we get these "parent teachers", and so we get to have friday night vespers with them. Ms. Lorraine is my parent-teacher (I call her my over protective mother!! :D), and I'm in her group with Tarryn, Lizzy, Evan, and Roy. All the awesome people. Also all day students except for Evan (poor guy). So, we had our worship at Mr B.'s house with Ms. Rina's group also (she was in Korea at the time). Basically, Levi, Chloe, Sophia, Stanley, and Jaemi were there too. AND don't forget Ms. Lorraine's 2 bros (Jesse, and something or another....sorry). So, we split up into groups and I was with Tarryn, Chloe, and Evan. We got this slip of paper with a BIble story on it (ours was Elijah and the priests trying to get fire to burn up their sacrifices). We had to make a "news broadcast" on the subject. Evan was the anchor, Chloe the anchor assistant (whatever they're called), me the reporter, and Tarryn the innocent bystander. It went pretty well. Buuut, here's the hilarious moment: Mr. B, Mrs. B, and Ms. Lorraine were on a team. They did the story of marching around Jericho. Well, halfway through the thing (JUST when Mr B was talking about people falliing off the wall), um, I guess I was in Chloe's way or something (she was videoing), so Tarryn pushed me over (not very hard either!) and I went crashing off. Not sure why.....I guess I was just off balance.......and I landed almost on top of Evan!!! It was sooo funny!!! Mr. B tied it into his story in his usual witty way, but I was laughing sooooo hard I didn't really hear what he said. It was a CRACK UP!!!!! Anywaaaay, the night was fun, and the reason I told you all that pointlessness waaaaaaaas: this song ROCKS!!! I'm listening to By Your Side now.

mmhm....in case you haven't realized, I'm weird.

Well, the rest of the week was pretty normal.....if you don't count falling over chairs in choir.........and almost falling off the bleachers..........and a bunch of other awkward moments........

On second thought, a bunch of awkward moments are pretty normal for me, in case you haven't noticed. If you read my blog, I'm SURE you realized that.

Yep, also in case you haven't noticed (I'm sure you have) I'm about the most graceful person on Earth. And that not including my AMAZING sense of balance.

ALSOOO, in case you haven't noticed, I'm pretty sarcastic. UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!

Yah, well back to mockey business, last night I had my first concert with the choir!! It went well!! Well, other than getting there late (I swer they said quarter to 7!!!), singing off tune, and almost falling off the bleachers.........................lol

Well, all's normal with me! :P

today

Ok, so today was weird. English went pretty went, except for the fact that when I sat down in my desk, I kind of almost knocked it over!! A little emabrrassing, totally something only I can do. Talent, peoples, talent! In algebra, Tiwe told me that I left my pencill bag back in the computer lab, so I ran out of the door on the wat to the computer lab, because I only had 2 minutes until class started. As I flew out the door, and ran STRAIGHT into Luke, almost knocked both of us down. It was soo funny! Everyone was rolling!!
At supper (like I say, weird things ALWAYS happen at supper, although at MY school, weird things are pretty normal), I sat down at this huge square table where Luke, Random Asian, Smiley, Josh, Canada, and Joel were sitting. Yes, all guys. I sat on one side table and ALL the guys squished into the other, with only Random Asian and Smiley on the sides. And they all stared at me. It was slightly uncomfortable, but I didn't really care, I'm used to guys, I'm pretty much a tomboy. Well, I guess the girls felt sorry for me, because they all just at one time came and sat down with me. They hilarious thing was, ALL the guys just got up and left, as fast as possible, making up weird excuses that didn't make sense. Wow! Every single one!!!! I was laughing soo hard!! Us girls are INTIMIDATING to guys!!! (the funny thing is, I wasn't intimidated by the guys. I guess guys don't effect us girls like that!! :D)
Wow, weird things happen to me. Is that normal? Or am I just blonde and clumsy? Lol, probably :P

wow i need to keep you guys updated!!

Yah, I haven't written anything about what's going on in a while! So, Saturday night at school the girls had a spa night. It was a surprise, nobody knew except the staff. It was amazing!!! We all got pedi's and mani's and got a facial. You should have seen our faces! Jannet and England looked like they were from Mars, Rosie looked like she was asian, Lizzy looked.....um never mind, and I FINALLY had a tan!!! Haha. It was soo relaxing, thank you staff!!
Monday was an absolutely TERRIBLE day for me. I got four 0's in English, I wasn't getting along with one of my friends, Dee and Gina were expelled, and Elisa tore something in her knee. Bad day........
Tuesday was better, home-leave started after work. Elisa is staying with me, by the way. I rode Silver, and had a group lesson with Tes and Silly (the pony, not human :D). It was fun!
Wednesday wasn't so great either, because Elisa had to go to the orthopedic surgeon and get her knee checked out. We waited in that waiting room for two hours - AUGH. We found out Elisa might have to have surgery (I hope not!!!). After that Elisa had an MRI. The only good thing was we had Chipotle!!!
Yesterday (Thursday) was a little better. Elisa went to the clinic and got crutches, and then we went to the music room. We met up wth Chloe and chilled for a while. Then we went to the caf, and met up with Marcel, and had a HILARIOUS time!!! I don't have enough room to tell about that though :). Then, Ellisa went with Chloe to hang out and eat, and I had a rinding lesson. I jumped, it was fun other then the beginning, when I was lunging Silver, she crashed through a jump. Not good.......
Well, today we are house-hunting. Please pray for Elisa and me, that we don't get too bored!!! :(

my day yesterday

Ok, so yesterday at supper I was sitting next to Elisa, and across the table from England, Smiley, and Josh. I wasn't paying attention to what they were talking about before this—too busy concentrating on my half smoothie half peanut butter—but I entered the conversation when they were talking about Finding Nemo. Haha, we have dumb conversations. I also had a hilarious and embarrassing moment we wont talk about. Actually, I wasn't too embarrassed, I was laughing too hard.
We had outreach and I partnered with Blondie. We got the Lukens house and were walking down to their house when I realized I had NO idea what we were doing and why we were doing it. I asked Blondie and she didn't know either. We were just given a name—the Lukens—and told to go there. Well, we arrived at their house and found out Ashley had given Celis and Gina the same house. So, we asked them what on EARTH we were doing and Celis (being an experienced Senior who knew EXACTLY what do, unlike us down in the dust Freshman) informed us that we were asking the family a random, interesting, exotic thing (I've only heard of exotic fruit, so inside my head I'm wondering what fruit has to do with this) about themselves. I asked Celis why, and I guess her Senior wisdom only goes so far, because after 48 seconds of fumbling around for an answer, she admitted she had none. Thanks a lot Celis. Anyway, she importantly cleared her throat and notified us that we also were going to ask for prayer requests. We also notified her that SHE was the one asking for the random, interesting, exotic (I still don't get what it has to do with fruit...) thing and the prayer requests. She said ok, and rang the doorbell......and knocked on the door........and rang the door bell 3 times.......and knocked (ok pounded) again. We decided they either weren't home, or they didn't want to talk, so I gave them the great idea of going next door to the Jackson's. On the way there, we decided we were going to ask them how Mr. popped the question. We got there and rang the doorbell, and Adam promptly answered. We asked for his parents, but they weren't home. So we decided to "outreach" to him. Thinking that he probably hadn't popped the question to anybody yet (and wouldn't for a WHILE), Celis asked him to give her an exotic fact about himself (for some reason she left out random and interesting......I'll NEVER get Seniors). He couldn't think of anything except that he was from Tasmania. Unfortunately though, because Gina thought that was SOOOO cool, and wouldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the night (don't worry, we still love you Gina!). Talisa (Adam's sis) walked up than and we asked the two if they had any prayer requests. Talisa asked for prayer for her MCAT (please pray for her, I'm praying!!) and school in general, and Talisa informed Adam he needed prayer for his mission trip. After Blondie prayed for the MCAT, school in general, and Adam's mission trip, we awkwardly made up an excuse to leave and left.
We had to talk up front about our "outreaching", so we walked up and Celis related (in her important "Senior voice") about our experience, and Adam's random, interesting, exotic fact about himself. Blondie told the people about the MCAT and the mission trip prayer requests. As we left I also had to (or my conscience would kill me for the rest of my life) tell that Adam also wanted prayer for "school in general", so I awkwardly called out as I was going back to my seat "and school in general!". Ahh, my conscience is happy.
That night we played dare-base. Ok, they played dare-base, because I just stood in the field and tried desperately to find someone who would tell me how to play. Nobody would, so I still don't know how to play.
Draw your on conclusions, but my personal opinion is Weimar Academy is weird, but it rocks.

Weird things always happen at supper

****the next four–i believe–posts are from previous days from my other blog*****

Ok, so at supper last night Luke threw this piece of plastic on my tray. To get back at him (cause that's what I do....) I threw the plastic in his cup of milk. He glared at me and said he was gonna get me back good. He leaned over and whispered something to someone and that someone started laughing, along with Elisa. That scared me BAD, cause Luke knows something I don't want people to know (let's not go there), and I thought he had just told that person. I knew I had to get out of there, so I pretended I needed to go to the restroom and walked out of the room (ok, maybe not as slowly as I implied). I stayed in bathroom for about 10 minutes, swearing I wasn't EVER coming out. Elisa and Jannet were acting like they were about to cry, they were going to miss me soo much (really they were probably verrry happy.....). Finally I decided to face the world so I slowly walked (ok, not THAT slow...) pass the table and ran out the door. After vainly trying to get Lizzy to tell me what makes Luke REEEALLY mad, I finally came back in. Luke told me that that's NOT what he told the person (to my relief) and that he hadn't even thought of that (I dont believe him!!!). I looked down at my tray and there was this bowl of popcorn filled with milk. I told Luke I appreciated the popcorn (it wasnt mine, I dont like caf popcorn) but no thanks. After graciously giving it back to him (well kinda graciously), I continued eating in peace. Well, until I pulled a piece of tinfoil out of my soup.......and finished my soup........and pulled a SHEET off tinfoil out from my bread........and decided I was too scared to eat anymore........and left the caf. I saw Lizzy and Elisa rollinig on the floor laughing, and since I REALLY needed a laugh about then, so I asked them what they were laughing about. To make a long story short, Luke had dumped the WHOLE THING OF SALT IN MY SOUP!!!! And I ate all the soup!! And it finally tasted good-around here they dont believe in salt!! Well, this probably goes without saying, but i am SO getting back at Luke!!!! Any ideas?????????????????????
