Christmas Time!

It's nearly Christmas! YAY I'm so excited haha the thing that really got me excited was when it started to snow I love the snow :D In fact I am SUCH a dork that I went and took pictures :) Yes, I am actually that sad haha








Also coming up soon is my BIRTHDAY
My 16th birthday to be exact ;) tomorrow. It's driving Mom INSANE hahaha
That's all I wanted to say
Have a great Christmas!!! Love you all!!! :)

It's been AGES!

I know, I've not actually posted anything for absolute ages, but one of my friends has now reminded me that this blog exists, and now I feel guilty for neglecting it haha.
So, what's happened since I last wrote...
EFY!!! hahaha but that's too awesome to put into words :)
Oh, Prelims ¬¬ those evil things. I've JUST finnished them (YAY) but man did they drain me. I had 9, the last of which was art (which I am SURE I'm failed) and you will not BELIEVE which part of the RE exam I failed. Christianity. That's right, I failed that part of the exam. And the ONLY reason was that the stupid teacher won't allow me to answer those questions MY way. I have to answer them in the form of "mainstream christianity" so basically the Church of Scotland. Ugh. Oh, and I managed to pass my Chemistry WOOP :D
I actually CAN NOT think of anything else to say, so I shall go ^^ bye!

Summer!!!

It's the summer holidays now :D and i just got back from camp on Saturday. It Was Awesome!! I loved it, the best camp yet! The food was great (thanks Mom and Penny ;) ) and so were the activities. The first day we spent most of it setting up our campsite and stuff (did I mention it was kinda a joint camp? the YM were having their camp at the same time and place as the YW) so we didnt really do much else.
The second day though, we had a hike. I LOVED the hike it was awesome. Although, the YM got to go swimming in the resevoir and we didn't (I love swimming). So, we walked past the YM trying to show off their amazing jumping-into-the-water powers, and ended up at a shaded, grassy area on the other side of a second resevoir...if that sentence makes sense haha. So we settled down and were silent for 30 minutes. Absolutely silent, we just wrote in our journals, took in our surroundings and prayed. UNTIL (dun dun dun) who should appear? The YM :O. Laura and I were sitting quite near each other (and yes, we were actually not even looking at each other till the YM appeared) and we could see them on the other shore walking up the path. Who else should we hear but one of our friends say something about "If YOU were attacked by a polar bear, what would you do?" That started me and Laura giggling. BUT THEN we heard an 11 year old boy (I'm 15 in case you didnt know) say "I'm gonna ask Kaitlyn out" (and yes I was the ONLY Kaitlyn at camp). That was enough to send me and Laura into a maaaajor case of the giggles, we just couldnt stop :D
after that...we did crafts, and later on in the day we had a campfire...ok it was pretty much night haha.
So, the campfire...first we just sat and sang hymns. That was lovely, all the youth and their leaders singing...it sounded beautiful. At some point we stopped singing, and we moved onto a testimony meeting. Absolutely brilliant, i loved it. Although at one point, there was a girl named Natalie who fainted at the campfire, and that kinda disrupted the meeting. I finally got up (after natalie was gone) and bore my testimony (ummm is it bore? i dont know haha). I cried. Then i went and sat back down. And cried some more. Then someone else bore (???) their testimony. And I kept crying. I cried lots haha.
So, after that was finished Laura, Kirsty and I were dragged up to the kitchen where we reaceived (YAAAAAY) hot water bottles!!!! they were nice and toasty (we froze the first night). So we went to our tents, and we heard...I think it must have been Jamie (the priesthood leader at our camp) go "Man by day...WEREWOLF BY NIGHT!!" and then he howled. We laughed at him ^^
OH on the second day we also had a water fight, we got SOAKED it was fun ^^
Ok, im bored of writing now, and not really much happened on the last day...we learned the YW theme in signlanguage, it is so cool!!!!
Anyway, I shall leave you now :P Adios!

RME

I loooooove taking RME but sometimes it's just such a pain! I normally enjoy being able to debate on the existence of God and stuff like that, but yesterday we had to watch a video, and not just any video, a video on the life of Jesus Christ ¬¬ Yes, thats what I said. It's called Jesus of Nazareth I believe, and I was a bit worried when he told us we would be watching it, so my friend Alix checked what rating it was, and it said PG. SO we thought we weould be safe. PG my foot, it was unbelievably graphic, and it actually made me cry to have to watch it. Actually, I didn't watch it, I stared at the desk or the teacher BEGGING that he would notice me and tell me to leave or something. I would have asked to leave, IF a certain person hadn't been siiting right behind me. If he saw me ask to leave he would make sure I saw pictures the rest of my days in that class.
Anyway, what's been going on so far...weeeell my mom made a surprise visit to America to see my aunt and her family sealed in the Temple ^^ soooo funny, my aunt had nooooo idea my mom was coming, so she had a huge surprise. It was one of those moments where a picture just HAD to be taken RIGHT at the time my mom appeared on the doorstep.
I was at the Preston Temple on Saturday and I LOVED it. I did baptisms, and then kinda wandered around the grounds and the pond until we went for a tour of the MTC. That was cool, The Elders and Sisters sang for us, and it was beautiful, I loved the song they sang. Did I mention it was a stake temple trip? Our whole stake went...well, the whole stake was INVITED, going is something else all together haha.
Let's see, what else...OH, next week is the last week of school, and me and my friend Grace get to spen the WHOLE week painting a mural in the 1st year playground, it's for our Eco-School council thing haha, the mural has an Eco theme. There's another mural in the same playground that we painted last year and it looks AWESOME ^^ a girl named Slava (how cool is her name?) designed the first one.
I can't really think of much else, other than I am driving my RME teacher INSANE by refusing to use the Good News bible and bring my own small quad to school with me when I have an RME lesson :D
Adios!

Swimsuits

What is up with swimsuits now?
Me and my family went swimsuit shopping today for me and my little sister, and there was a slight problem...
Hardly ANY one-piece swimsuits. I found 3 that could have worked...and thats it...and they didn't even work becasue they were all too low and didn't fit properly. We even tried Tankinis (cause some are modest) and there weren't any modest ones. What is up with the world? all that there is are bikinis, and they just make me uncomfortable! WHY?! I swear they want to torture me, cause I really REALLY don't like tankinis or bikinis...at all.
I seriously think this is something retailers need to think about, cause I need a new swimsuit haha.

Up till now...

Haven't written in ages, so i thought i'd give an update :D
Last weekend my family went to vogire with two other families, and it was sooooo much fun :D I absolutely loved it
Today was not as fun, but I still enjoyed it. Today was the Easter Fayre at my school, so I showed up at 8 o'clock to set up and stayed there until 12:30. And I got to do the best job, face painting!! The little kids were so cute, they were so shy until you started to talk to them and then they just talked and talked and talked. :D
I have to admit though, painting a butterfly on someones face got kinda boring after the second thousand one :D
Oh, and I got a ton of free books :D I'm such a bookworm haha

Kitty Litter Mask??

Haha, I know this is really super girly of me, but this was just so cool :D well, not everyone will think so, but I did.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-x6hCI9X0g

go here and watch it, seriously, it's about making your own facial mask out of Kitty Litter. :D (NOT used stuff obviously, don't do that haha that would be bad.

I kinda went on a search for homemade scrubs, because they are super expensive :P and I found a bunch of stuff, and then I tarted to look for masks and I saw this, and we had 2 bags of unopened kitty litter, cause our cat is now gone, so I thought I'd try it, and yes I have tried it.

Boredom...

It's amazing how much boredom makes you miss school...
Anyway, do you like my new template? I think it's cool, I need to fix it a bit, and I have noooo idea what the tabs at the side are for. you know, the ones that say 'undefined' but I'll figure it out eventually. oh, and if you have any idea tell me haha.
Sunday was ward conference and sister's conference (busy day) and both of them were really good. I enjoyed having the stake presidency talk to my ward at ward conference and I also enjoyed sister's conference, even though I had to sing (aaaahhh!!!). We were pretty good though, at least I though we were. After sister's conference, me and a few of my friends went a bit hyper :D Ok, alot more than a bit, poor Laura...hahaha, if you knew what we were talking about *sigh* alas I can't tell you, it would be too mean to Laura. Although, us being teenage girls, chances are you'll have it all figured out by the end of this sentence at the very latest.
My psycho cat, Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, is going to the cat shelter this saturday. Yup, we still have him even though he was supposed to be gone a couple of weeks ago. He's crazy though, so I can see why we have to get rid of him. He's shredded the wallpaper in our living room, and my mom is not at all pleased with him. We'll have to redo the walls before we move out (hopefully we'll be moving into a house :) )
Well, that's really all I have to say at the moment, adios!! Have a good week!

Sledding :D

Or sledging as they call it here I guess. We went to Glencoe and went sledding with the Pollok ward. It was so much fun, we went up in the ski lift, and it was so pretty and quiet. There was a stream that was below the ski lift, and there was a couple of mini waterfalls, and it was iced over in places. The cool part was, the ice was so thin in places that you could see the water running underneath it. It was beautiful. The ski lift ride was really cool, the mountain was so high, going down was fun when you could see just how high you actually went.
Once we got up there, we walked a ways until we were away from most of the skiers and climbed up the hill a bit. That's when we started to sled. It was so fast. In fact, I couldn't actually make it all the way to the bottom, I kept crashing before then and then I would slide down the hill on my back. there was a ton of snow. In fact, Paul kept falling through it up to about his hips :D That was funny, no offense Paul. Oh, and we met some of Paul's family. I specifically remember his brother Joseph. Laura has a huge crush on him now. We teased her all today about it.
Anyway that's about all that I want to share. I got something today, but you don't get to know about it HA! Unless I tell you specifically :P
Adios!!

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Stress, stress, stress! I'm in eco schools right, and we have organized a Trash Fashion Show (you make the outfits out of recycled material) and it is NOT going well. Half of the 'Models' are too scared to walk down the runway right, AND I have to get everyone ready for it then run down and sell stuff. AHHHH! I had two tests in a row today, I have two more tomorrow, I need to finish my letter to Africa for tomorrow at break, I need to go and get my results at break for my physics test, I've lost my memory stick, and the fashion show is TOMORROW!!! Can I go smash my head off of the wall please?
OH, and I forgot to mention, I now have a group of about 10 guys that are determines to get me to go out with them, and when I say no, they trip me over or kick the back of my knees so I fall over. WHAT IS THE POINT!? I'm just glad I know a few decent guys, otherwise I think I would go insane...
So as you can tell, this is a stressful time for me, and I'm sorry if I snap at you :P

:(

Ok, I know I said that i had a psycho cat who hurts me, but I love him and now he's going away on Wednesday. Andrew is coming around after he has finished his exams and he's going to take him to the shelter :( I don't want him to go!
So, to cheer me up, another little kid story YAY!


The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.' A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And
there's the teacher, she's dead."

:D :D :D I love little kids, they are just great.
Oh, and this is one of the sweetest songs I have ever heard in my entire life, I love it


Well, other than my cat being thrown out life is actually pretty good, I have great friends and I love them all, and I hope they all know that.

BLAH!

Everything is a bit blah at the moment, although it does seem kinda funny. :D
At school, because I took fast-track RME we have to go through everything a bit faster than the other classes. Unfortunately our class doesn't seem to be able to focus on what we're supposed to be doing. This means that we end up having more discussions on why God can't possibly exist. But, as you probably guessed, I don't argue on that side, I argue on the other. It's me against the whole class including my teacher. The funny thing is, I keep saying things that either they haven't thought of before, or that they have no idea how to answer to. :D It's so much fun to do that, that's why I took RME.
Oh, and don't get me started on Ryan, he's just being stupid as usual. He's easy to confuse though, and once you have him confused he shuts up.
It snowed this morning!! YAY I love snow. It's melting though, cause the stupid sun came out.
OH, and the latest on my psycho cat. I have a cat that will climb curtains, run in circles, normal kitten stuff. Except he is NEVER cuddly for long, he'll curl up on your lap and purr then latch onto your arm and not let go. Kirsty and I have found he is afraid of fabric so when he tries to chase us (Which he usually does) we just shake a piece of clothing and he runs. That didn't work last night. I now have a total of 6 new scratches covering my arm, one of which was very deep. Anyone want a cat??

Hello there

Hi...anybody who is reading this :D
Where to begin...
I'm not quite sure...
What do you think?
:D I'm obviously hyper, because it SNOWED today. I love snow so so so much
We didn't really get it where I lived in america :(
Let's start with school today, I managed to annoy the RME teacher. Well, not really annoy but fluster. He kept saying things about how God can be found more often in evil than in good, and I pointed out that this was because WE as humans tend to blame him for evil and not thank him for good. :D However, he wasn't in a mood with me after I told him this story :D :D

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."

haha, BRILLIANT :D I have more, but you'll just have to wait.
Oh and English is at this point almost like RME when I have Ryan sitting in front of me -_-
Our conversations are usually started with him telling me I am stupid, because of what I believe in. Although one time, he decided to try something different and told me that Noah did NOT part the red sea. :D I had to agree there, and pointed out it was Moses who did that, not Noah.
Well, that's all for now, adios!
