a new YEAR, a new LOOK, a new ME

Dude if you haven't noticed it is 2009. Oh my goodness.  Who would ever have thought that 2009 would come so fast. I remember when people we so excited for 2000. Ha ha that was about nine years ago. 

My New Year: This year wasn't the best of ringin' in the New Year. On the 31st (of duh! December) I had my friend Lindsay over. I had kind of invited her over like a month ago because I knew that her family wouldn't do anything (and I know how much her Mother dislikes her and I wanted to hang with her at least once over the break.) But I kind of did it with out thinking about what my family would be feeling. I found out a little to late that they were not to thrilled about it. In fact they were okay with Lindsay but when Lindsay said that she was bringing Becca, they were a little upset. Okay a lot upset. I completely ruined their night. Anyways. Lindsay came over (Becca was out to dinner with her father) and we chilled for a bit. Then we went to Katelin's house. It was a mistake. Why was it a mistake: 

1. They strongly dislike Lindsay.... (and yet I told her we should go. Again I was only thinking of myself. 
2. Spencer and Rachel were there (I have gotten over the whole thing between Me and Spencer but he still acts like I am the worst person. And Rachel was giving me dirty looks. I like her, but i guess when you piss off the boy you piss off the girl too) 
3. They all had their inside jokes and tight friendships.
4. I felt awkward. 
5. I sat to the side and was quite. A wall flower. 

Then we left with Sam to his house and just chilled. It was pretty boring. I also had to deal with Becca and Sam flirting and more inside jokes. We came back to my house around 11:30. (We= Lindsay, Becca, Sam and Me.... aka much more then me or my parents wanted) The ball dropped we celebrated. I tried to look happy. The minute they left I went to apologize to my Mother. I ended up running to my room and broke down crying. (what I was crying bout is not a story for everyone to know) My Dad came in and tried to make me feel better and then my Mother too. It didn't help.  I cried for the first hour of 2009. 

My New Year Resolutions: 

• Exercise more (aka lose weight ha ha) 
• get straight A's and pass Mrs. Story's class with flying colors
• Eat Healthier
• Write more Thank You cards
• try harder to get involved with a group of friends so I am invited more often and feel more a part of something then I do now
• Write on this more!!! ha ha

Random quick Notes: 

1. I'm going shopping tomorrow and seeing Marley and Me with my sista
2. I really wanted to hang out with Joe, Patrick, and Ryan over the break but I never did
3. I think I like someone, but I have a feeling he wont talk to me as much after break (We don't go to the same school either...) 
4. I don't want to go to school on Monday.
5. I need help on my biology.
6. I need to work on my presentation for English
7. The Utes are WINNING!
8. I re-did my room. I put new carpet in (brought to me by Santa) and cleaned and organized
9. My Father left to AUSTRIA  for 18 days today to run a world cup ski event
10. I made a cork board with like 200 wine corks today. We have been saving them for a few years and I finally did something with them. Ha ha Its was cool to see all the designs on the corks. I mean  most people look at the label of a wine bottle but never the cork. Check them out next time! 

I think everyone needs to smile more! 

Love you.

ITS THE LAST OF 2008

Good Morning to all you beautiful people. I haven't typed a few words on this ol' blog for a while so I thought that it would be swell to entertain you with my lovely life. Yippie. I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday break and that Santa was good to you. 

Mood: I feel really wonderful at the moment. Its going to be a great last day of 2008. I am excited for tonight because my best friend Lindsay is coming over and we are going to have a party! (and maybe Becca... and a few boys but I'm still thinkin about that one... hee hee)

Listening Too: "Can't stop movin' " By: Sonny J  

Quote of the Moment: "I wanna be just like Sponge Bob (chop chop chop chop (hand motions up and down) You know with the crabby patties!!"- My dear sister Gabrielle. Oh how there is never a boring moment with that one. :) 

Just Wondering: How come when you find out that when some one has a crush on 

you, you start to kind of like them too? (Even though when before you never looked at them like that...) Curious stuff man!! 

Headlines: 

• Christmas was wonderful (as always!) I received many amazing gifts that i really wanted (except my vans shoes... oh well) My favorites were a peace necklace from Gabrielle, Berret from Santa, and this lap top (MAC BOOK BABY!!!!) for me and my sis to share from Santa. It was truly amazing. The food was great and I'm sure i ate too many mash potatoes. I loved spending time with all my family too. 
• my sister is sleeping on my floor at the moment... don't really know the reason. 
• My father leaves for Austria tomorrow. :( 
• I love to ski! It
  

 is an amazing sport. The feeling of the cool breeze in you hair and the sun hitting your face giving you that goggle tan you try to workon every year but yet it doesn't work but yo feel like there is hope for this year because a goggle tan is all you really want at the moment!!I ski at the wonderful Deer Valley Resort. I have season pass tickets because they come out of the my Dad's pay check when he runs the World Cup ski events and stuff up there. (He's pretty important... no Konrad no event) Yesterday the sun was out and my sister and I went out just by ourselves. It was amazingly fun. And guess what is even more amazing. . . . I haven't fallen once. (I bet i just jinxed my self. Uh oh) 

• MY computer is being weird. i have to stop. 

Ok: So this is annoying. It keeps changing sizes and spacings. GAH. I hope it looks not to bad for you. 

Have a great new year! Love ya! 

All I want for Christmas is You.. Baby!

Goodness readers! I have not shared my rambling thoughts for many days now. It feels god to finally have the time (and a computer) where i can just spill out my feelings and thoughts. Relief. Ha ha Life for me has been quite busy lately between school, homework, and family stuff. I feel i never stop running or doing something. I'm feel like the energizer bunny. 

Mood: I feel worn out and sleepy. I also have this terrible sick feeling to my stomach. I am excited for the last day of school before the Holiday Break tomorrow. Yay! Tomorrow will be a party. 

Listening Too: "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (the newer version movie) *I know so Christmas spirited!*

Quote of the Moment: "And the Grinch, with his Grinch feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came with out tags. It came with out packages, boxes, or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'til his puzzler was sore. The Grinch thought something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. " - Dr. Suess 

Just Wondering: Is is the right thing? My friends are plotting revenge against this boy in my  grade. He is a huge skeez and is playin' many girls at the same time. (including my good friend) His nick name is John Tucker. (because it fits him so much if you have seen the movie) But anyways- they want to do stuff to his locker or his house. Maybe even create a facebook profile of him and use it against him. I just think its wrong. I mean do we really need to punish him like that. No man, no matter how much of a man hoe he is, or woman deserves to be treated like that. I think we should just stay away from him and ignore him. If we don't play to his wants he wont hurt one of our hearts. I don't know. My friends think I am nuts. But if they go through with this, they are taking chances. I personally would not feel right about doing that to anyone. Its not right. And if they are caught. Suspension and they will be lower than him. I don't know.. . . 

Headlines: 

• My Father is in Winter Park Colorado
• I am done with drivers ed and only have to do my drivings and observations
• I still don't have my sister's Christmas present
• I want to see the movies: Changeling and Nick and Nora's Play list (again) 
• I know this may sound weird but I am craving to hang out with Joe and Patrick. They are my friends and they are just so much cooler than  most boys I know. I kind of feel accepted when I hang out with them or even just talking to them. 
• So Wiley and the Harry Man has been going great. We have traveled to two school so far and both have been amazingly fun. Since I am the student director, I am not in it, so i have been running lights and just helping out it anyway possible. The last performance we went to Hillside Middle School. I sat up in the booth running lights. As I watched the performance I was so amazed and thrilled. I know this is lame, but as I listened and watched and I saw a moment that was perfect or when one of the characters get the line they struggle with the most I get this feeling of like proudness. Its a wonderful thing to watch a show grow from the beginning to end. I think I am going to miss it. 
• I need to music. I want new songs. If you have any... please share. 
• I hate math. Except for that cutie that walks by and sharpens his pencil. Goodness.
• I found out today that most men prefer something sweet smelling like vanilla as a women's perfume instead of something fruity. This made me happy cause Warm Vanilla Sugar is my scent! Ha ha I love that smell from bath and body works. 
• No school for two weeks after tomorrow!!!!!!

Random Fact: We took our family Christmas photographs on t

he day that it snowed so hard. Here is the one we chose for our 

cards: 

Funny Moment: The other day in French we had a bit of a misunderstanding. The conversation went like this: 

Audrey: I don't want to go to Health. 

Lauren: Audrey,I don't think your going to hell.

Audrey: ha ha huh? 

Well at least it was funny when we said it! :) 

Oops I forgot: Happy Christmas! (If I don't write again till then.... :) 

Off Limits

The weekend is drawing to a halt and I don't want it to stop. My weekend has be busy as can be and I wish there was more time. I have a feeling this up coming week is going to be quite crazy. Like a roller coaster: you know that down hill is coming as you inch you way to the top, you just don't know when until your heart rams against your rib cage and your there.

Mood: Goodness. I am stressed out a bit. I have been going going going and I'm afraid that it wont stop. I am sleep, but don't want to sleep. I am nervous, but i don't know what for. I am sad, for some odd reason. And I am happy, because I just got a text.  

Listening too: "Some kind of Love"  By: Velvet Underground 

Quote of the Moment: " Never rush in love for it never runs out, Let love be the one to knock at your door, so by the time you start to fall, you know your feeling is for sure." 

Just Wondering: How do you get the hiccups? I have them right now and they are very annoying. How do we get them? Something with our breathing and heart stopping? Any answers?** HICCUP**

Headlines:

• Friday night I went to Drivers Ed. and sat with Ryan during the class. He kept doing this cool thing with his pen that I am determined to master. 
• Also that night was Becca's Birthday and we played kissing rugby. That game is quite dangerous but really entertaining to watch. I do not play ( I mean honestly can you imagine me playing.... PAIN would be on.) I helped Amy call out numbers and letters, but it was fun.
• Saturday morning i was supposed to drive and observe as part of my driving hours. I woke up at 7:00 in the morning and went to the driving place. For two hours I sat in the back seat with this dude that smelled like smoke while this tall kid drove with the instructor. After he was done I was supposed to drive just like I had registered for online. When I went to ask he told me I wasn't on the list and to just go home. It made me sad. Even though i was really nervous I wanted to drive. 
• Today I made ginger bread houses. The smells, the tastes and the family made it wonderful. 
• I don't want to go to school tomorrow. :( 

Random Fact: I took some abstract photographs for my class. Tell me what you think: 

The Wonders of Note Passing

Hello Dudes and Dudettes! 

Mood: I am doing amazing. I am happy. I feel loved. Isn't it a good feeling when you someone tells you a compliment or something that makes you smile (even if he has a girlfriend)? I love it. Ah i love texting. ha ha 

Listening too: "All I want for Christmas is You" By: Mariah Carey  and "Great DJ" By: The Ting Tings 

Eating: Well actually I am drinking warm lemonade with honey. It is such a calming drink. YUM!

Quote of the Moment: "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I can't stand it! It's too easy! The child is in love with a human. And not just any human. A prince!" - Ursula (The Little Mermaid) 

Just Wondering: What makes a sunset so beautiful? I love sunsets, everything about them. The way the colors melt together or the cloud "puffs" sprinkle

d through the sky. No sunset is the ever the same. Its like a snowflake, each one different. Every fairy tale dream I have had involves my 'prince' and I on the beach with a beautiful sunset. You get the most satisfying feeling when you take your camera and capture the perfect moment that is spread across the sky. AHH. I love sunsets.

Headlines: 

• I think today should have had the name of "The Day to Piss Aud Off!" because goodness... everyone seemed to to do something that made me either want to cry or get mad or something. (being the nice person I am I tried not to let it get to me)  That is probably why I am in such a good mood at the moment, cause I had such a bad day. Listen up: 

1. Today was Sarah's 18th birthday (she drives me to school along with my other neighbor) and because I love her oh so much i made her cookies. Well skipping ahead: the other girl in my car just told Sarah she was taking two cookies and just took them and put them in her lunch with her other cookies her mom packed her. It bugged me because I had made them for Sarah. 
2. Okay so in English we had to write a rough draft of a paper under the prompt "What historical figure would you want to me and what one question would you ask them and why" My draft was I guess not long enough and when my teacher asked me why my essay was too short I told her I must have misunderstood the length requirements and I said all I needed to say in one page instead of a page and a half. She then said "boo hoo" and brought her hand to her eyes like she was crying. Grr. Then when she asked me who i wrote to and I said Martin Luther King, she went off on a rampage about not being creative and choosing a trite character. I told her my my question was to ask King what he thought about the change in history and electing an African American for president. She said "okay" and walked away. I just thought that my question was really creative. Ahh. Who cares I guess. 

• Anyways: tonight in Drivers Ed. I got all courageous and passed a note to this cute boy sitting in front of me. He wrote back. I wrote back. Blah blah. Then afterwards he officially introduced himself to me and we realized that we had been at the same Halloween party. I felt bad that i didn't recognize him... but he remembered me. Ha Ha. Well that made my night. 

Well that's all I have to say! Peace.

xoxo,

Audrey
