Confessions of An Awkward Teen

It's time for a change!

2011-08-09T17:00:00.000-04:00

As I look at my blog page I notice something that has been bothering me for a long time; my page really looks ugly and gloomy! I like bright, warm and fun colors, not brown and plain ones. I'm thinking if I looked at my blog page as an outsider, I would find it very uninviting. So I decided that it's time to change the design of the blog!

But the problem is, The templates Blogger has are really unappealing, and they look far too basic and ammeter for the kind of feel I want my Blog to covey. I wish I knew how to make a custom template, but I'm not that tech savvy quite yet.

I think I choose my current design because I would easily fit my header on it, and It was the best looking of the templates Blogger had at the time. Oh well, the most I can do at the moment is to change the best of the blog. Hopefully I can discover a way to download a template onto my site sucessfully, beacuse even i'm getting bored of my color scheme.

Much Love,

Lindsay

Mustache

2011-08-06T16:25:00.003-04:00

So recently I look at myself in the mirror and saw something extremely unpleasant, facial hair. I'm really freaking out the the moment! I don't want a bread, or a mustache! I decided to look it up on the Internet and figured out that my hairy situation might be caused by my weight gain (which I'm going to curb in the fall). But my mom is taking me on my annual Doctor's Check, so hopefully I can find a solution there.

But for the moment being I'm a little worried right now. Does this mean I'm going to grow a full beard I hope not. Then nobody will want to look at me. I already have enough self esteem issues as it is.

Nervous,

Lindsay

Driver's Permit (2nd Try!)

2011-08-02T17:20:00.003-04:00

It's been two years since I failed my knowledge test, and after several months of studying, I'm finally ready to try again. Honestly, after that first test I kind of forgot about getting a drivers licence at all, but hearing about all my facebook friends getting their one by one, and having my little brother talk about studying the driver's manual made me realize that I obtaining a driver's permit is something that I really need to obtain in order to start practice driving. Plus I don't want to want to be like a women I saw at my college (who was around 21) talking about how she was waiting for her mother to pick her up. I really don't want that to be me in several years. I need to start driving in order to make the steps in becoming an adult (more independence).

I feel that the reason I failed before was due to my lack of studying. I had only read the second chapter of the book (which was all about signs) and really neglected the other parts of the book (because I thought the test would be a lot of common sense). But once I started the test, my mind just shut down because I didn't know any of the information on the test.

But now I am very Confident that I can pass my knowledge test to obtain my permit. So,wish me luck next week!

Discovering a Korean Drama

2011-07-18T15:37:00.002-04:00

I usually don't watch foreign TV shows, but I was bored one late night and stumbled upon this Korean drama on Mindtv ( a local Philadelphia station), and I couldn't help but watch it. Now I'm hooked. The story is about a Woman (who is a little slow) named Anna Laker and her son who return to South Korea after years of living in America. Once they return, Anna is on a search to find her birth parents (she was adopted). It's a really charming story, and I'm surprised that I have taken such an interest in it (considering I'm not Asian nor Korean). But it just has a very homey feel that other soap operas don't have (Hispanic and American ones.) I can't wait until the next episode!

I have.... returned!

2011-07-16T11:44:00.002-04:00

Wow.... it's been far too long since I've written a new entry. I can't believe I haven't written anything new in seven months. That wasn't at all my plan. I promised in January that I would write more, but I guess I became so occupied with other events in my life that blogging became simply impossible. I had a full load of class at my local Community College (as a Dual Enrollment Student) which at one point became too overwhelming for me to bear, and I started a academic club just for Dual Enrollment Students. In addition many of the blogs that I follow post multiple times a day, and while I could do that when I had my laptop, writing more than once a day is a little bit harder when there's only one computer in the house. So now I have a new goal, to post at least once a week. I think that is a little big easier to do than stressing out about what to write every couple of hours, so I'm going to try to stick to it and hopefully not disappear like I just did before.

Have a nice day and I hope to write my next entry soon,

-Lindsay

Clap on, Clap off

2011-01-15T20:34:00.003-05:00

I admit when I opened my presents this Christmas I was a little let down. I only received practical gifts such as clothes, a snuggie, socks, and a few ear buds. But a few weeks later my Mom bought me an item that made all of that disappointment go away.She got me my own Clapper, just like in the commercials! For those who aren't aware the Clapper is a device that you plug your electrical lamp outlet in. By doing this you now can turn off your light just by clapping. Of course you have to remember clap to a certain pattern in order to turn the lights "on" or "off". Anyway, over the past few days I have been obsessed with it! I always try to turn the light on and off several times before going to bed and waking up. I if I have to go to my room to get sometime I always clap to turn the lamp on instead of my other light. It just fills me up with excitement. I know it's weird but I just love the clapper. I know i'll eventually get tired of it, but for now it's so fun!

Welcome 2011!

2011-01-01T14:06:00.003-05:00

I can't believe that it's a new year already! I remember when it was January 1st 2010. So many exciting things happened to me last year, and I hope that this year will be just as interesting.I hopefully I can actually keep my resolutions this year. Every year I make a list of goals i plan to reach by the end of the year, but I never actually manage to keep them. Hopefully every one's New Year Celebration's are going well, right now I'm watching the Mummers Parade on TV (for those who don't know the Mummers are basically a large group of people in costumes divided into five division who strut around Philadelphia every year). But I wish you all a Happy New Year!

-Lindsay

My resolutions:
1. Live a Healthier Life
2. Stop Procrastinating
3. To ensure that D.E.S.A will have a successful semester
4. To Blog more often (at least once a week)
5. Become a better Student
6. Become more Organized
7. Develop some sort of Fashion Sense
8. Gain Confidence
9. Read More

Guilty

2010-12-23T21:46:00.002-05:00

Gosh,
When was the last time that I've posted in here.
I feel a little bad that the last time I updated was in August.
But it's just harder for me since I don't have my laptop, so
that means I have to share to computer with five other people.
Also, our desktop is located in the middle of our kitchen, so I really
don't have any time to concentrate ( like right now for example). But I'm going to try harder from now on to post more. So many exciting things have happened to me over the last few months that I will recap:

- I took two classes (Spanish and Psychology) at my local Community College, and I ended up getting a "B+" in one class, and a "A" in another class.

-I'm also planning to take four classes in the spring, so wish me luck!

- In September I started a club for Dual Enrollment Students called D.E.S.A. (Dual Enrollment Student Association). It's been a long and tedious process to form, but completely worth it. And hopefully more people join for the next semester.

-Lindsay

p.s. My new goal is to make a post one a week, hopefully I can stay that diligent.

Petusis

2010-08-13T12:05:00.002-04:00

Over the last few weeks I have felt simply awful. Why you ask? It's because of my stupid Pertussis (Or whooping cough). My eyes are red and puffy from all the uncontrollable vomiting I've been doing, I can't eat anything because I'll just throw it up, and when I cough I start to suffocate and it becomes hard to breathe. I hope I get better soon because I want to be well enough to go to Boston with my dad in a few weeks. Luckily for me my eyes the opthamologist I went to said they will heal soon so they aren't anything to worry about (expect scaring my siblings). And I have been taking plenty of antibiotics drinking fluids, and getting plenty of sleep, I'm confident that by the end of the month I'll be cured. What I want to now is where did I get this from? I guess I really need to clean my room now since apparently it comes from bacteria. Just pray for me guys since I feel horrible.

- Lindsay :-(

Later

2010-05-08T14:48:00.002-04:00

Why do parents have to nag so much? I know that my mom and dad love me, but honestly they sometimes get on my nerves. I was going to write a nice post about my trip to Scotland, but I now have to walk all the way with my sister to a friends house. I normally wouldn't have a problem with this but I just have this urge to write and if I go and come back, I don't think I would be in the same mood. Plus I'm not in the best shape and this walk will tired me out especially with my sister running around. Maybe I'm just being too sensitive today. I should've went to bed earlier.Another thing, why does my sister have to cut all her doll beautiful hair off? Is this just a little kid thing? I anoyes me so much to see her just cut off her dolls hair and turn it into a lobsided short haircut. I brings me back to the time when my little brother Aaron cut off all the hair of my Barbie doll in 2001.

UTCS0410 (or 07)

2010-05-06T20:14:00.007-04:00

Soon this thing will finally disappear from my brain forever.Thank goodness I really hate C-bots, they are such a pain. But at least I've identified what is is and not to let it have total control over me. My mom said it's just a normal part of being a teenager so maybe I will just have to get used to them. But at least i'm better than I was in september. In college I can't be acting like a turtle around these things. And maybe in the future I can transform one into a F-bot without the thought of it hurting.

P.s. I know none of you have any clue what I'm talking about.

A blessing!

2010-03-17T12:35:00.002-04:00

I am in complete shock! So recently I have been going around to post offices asking for donations so I have enough money for my Scotland trip, and today one man gave me $10 and later came back and said "You know, I feel like the lord wanted me to bless you today" And then dropped a $50 bill in my bin! I so suprised tyhat really made my day. I was only expecting around one dollar per person.

Foki!

2010-02-24T23:44:00.002-05:00

One of my favorite bloggers is a 18 year old Swedish girl who runs a blog called "Foki". Her name's really Anchisa and she used to live in Thailand until she moved to Sweden at the age of 10-11. Her blog is so unique because she posts all these interesting posts about Japanese culture and interesting artwork. I wish there were more bloggers like her. The only thing that bothers me about her is that since she was fifteen she had been living with her boyfriend who is about 6-7 years older than her! (They started dating when she was fourteen) I don't understand how her parents would accept this at all. If I wanted to move in with an older man such a young age, my parents would disown me. How can she be so buddy-buddy with her parents after this happened? And she says next year she and her boyfriend are going to move to Thailand (I wonder how that's going to work out).Maybe it's just a Swedish thing.

Four weeks to go!

2010-02-24T11:58:00.003-05:00

Can you believe it! less than a month to go until me and my brother go to Scotland for ten whole days! I can hardly retain my excitement! I'm always counting down the days until the moment arrives! The only part That I'm a bit nervous about is the plane ride (I'm terrified of heights and flying). But besides that I think I'll be fine. I can't wait to try haggis! :-)

Me and My Dreams

2010-02-23T19:12:00.002-05:00

Last night I had such a strange dream! Me and my whole family were traveling across a bridge and all of a sudden these police officers near the end told us to get out of the car which we did, and minutes later they pushed it into the water! This happened for everyone on the bridge and we had to get a bus to take us to our destination. Isn't that strange?

Cooking!

2010-02-23T19:07:00.005-05:00

I usually don't like cooking beaucse I'm not that good at it, but a while ago I gave myself the challange of making something fresh for breakfast, and I think I really nailed it. I made a spinich fritata, and it was amazing! Maybe i'm just a little bit too hard on myself when it comes cooking. I really need to gain some confidence and find things that I would really love to make (like chocolate chip cookies). I can't be so down in the dumps if I want to go to college next year. I need to get some backbone!

P.s. Sorry for not updating as much, i'm so lazy. :-(

Pictures...

2010-01-31T22:36:00.005-05:00

Since my annoying brother wants me to get off the computer soon, i'll just post some of my latest pictures really quickly:

I went to a women's basketball game with my dad the other day, it was Vilanova vs. Uconn, and the latter won. i was so fun spending time with my dad even though the home team lost. I hope we can do this again some other time as well.

Me, my little brother, and my Mom visited Chipotle Mexican Grill after hearing about it on Oprah. The food was just delicious and everything was so fresh too. I will defianitly be coming back there another day.

Also, yesterday me and Aaron went to one of our handbell instructor's (Holly's) birthday. It took forever to get to their house, it was like driving around a maze, so confusing. I was relieved once we got there,and I had a lot of fun playing games like apples to apples and four men on a couch. It made me so excited to for Scotland next month!

Bad Horse!

2010-01-16T22:15:00.003-05:00

Today I was volunteering at Ivy Hill by helping lead a lesson and the horse I was with kept misbehaving. For the whole time he would try to bit at me,run when he was suppose to be just walking and walk in the opposite direction from where i was going. He got on my nerves a lot! I thought maybe he had an issue with me, but the workers say he acts like that to everyone. Eventually I got to help with another lesson and that made me so relieved! Side note: My foot got step on by a horse with shoes, not a very fun experience.

Blonde hair!!!

2010-01-16T21:52:00.003-05:00

A few days ago my brother did what I thought was the unthinkable, he dyed his hair blond! He said it was for a certain swim meet called Wilson's meet the whole team was participating in that he and he didn't want to stand out beacuse all the other guys on his team were doing it. I understand what he means about fitting in but the hair looks so awful, it doesn't match his skin tone at all, and looks too harsh. I really hope he changes it back soon (but he said they're all going to dye their hair blue next!) But I guess this is all about him having a normal public school experience and later in his life he'll look back at this moment and laugh. Even before I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted. I just hope the dye is easy to get.

Avatar!!!!!!

2010-01-15T17:12:00.004-05:00

Okay, a few hours ago me and my brother went to the movies to see Avatar in 3-D and it was amazing. The graphics and visuals were just spectacular, and the story although a little unorignial kept me on the edge of my toes (actually the edge of my feet I mean) the whole time!It was all so beautiful to look at. When it first came out I always wondered "What's the big deal about this movie, and why is it making so much money?" Now I see why people were raving about it so much. And I'm glad I went to go see in it 3D since it really enchanced the movie.

New Pictures

2010-01-14T19:12:00.007-05:00

(The horse stable where I work)

Today I figured that should start posting pictures again since my post seems kind of dull without them, and I don't have to worry about not having a camera anymore.

"Chemistry school work, it's hard but sometimes fastinating".

One of the videos I was watching about chemical and physical reactions, I would not want to touch that!

Toastmasters

2010-01-12T19:20:00.002-05:00

I'm so nervous for tomorrow, my mom signed me up for a public speaking class that's called toastmasters. I was there last week and had to make a speech about some one that I had just talked too and I was so nervous and stiff. It was terrible! But I guess that's what the class is about, to make me get out of my shell so I can present myself in a better way without being too shy. And plus I guess it will be to my advantage went I apply for college or a job in the near future. I was nervous during the first minute, but once I realized that other people were just as nervous as I was and that their parents made them sign up as well, I calmed down internally.hopefully this class makes a huge difference in my life!

My Dream last night

2010-01-11T12:04:00.003-05:00

Okay last night when I was sleeping, I had such a strange dream.
Me and my siblings were traveling to some country on and airplane, and about one hour after taking off the plane started to fail and went crashing down . Luckily for some reason the plane we( me and my siblings) all managed to survived, and minutes later a ship saw us and came to our rescue and after spending quite a bit of time out at sea we were docked in a strange place and Asia and tried to contact our parents. Then I woke up. How wried though?

(miss)understood

2010-01-10T18:23:00.002-05:00

I really love my family, but sometimes it seems that they have a lack of understanding toward me and my feelings. For example, my brothers always pester me about the type of music I listen to (mostly Japanese music). T o answer them I always ask them why they don't like it besides the different language they can't answer my question at all. And if they just saw my last FM page they would see that i listen to all kinds of music from around the world, and they wouldn't generalize my so much. Today I wanted to transfer pictures from a memory card to my external hard drive and they took the mouse from me! I had to try to fight them for it, and ended up bitting Aaron because David kept pinching me under my arms. But mom told me to take a walk to cool my head, I was angry at first but I've calmed down since then and the walk was really pleasant. But i guess it's kind of brothers jobs to annoy, maybe I shouldn't take them so seriously as my parents say.

Happy! (A but bittersweet)

2010-01-09T22:59:00.002-05:00

About a month ago I was taking a tour of cathetral and I dropped my camera and it was completely ruined. I felt so crushed because I took that camera everywhere i went since last Christmas. But just yesterday after looking at my grade for my community college class, Dad got me a brand new one! I was so excited! Actually I had got one for Christmas But it was lacking a lot of the features that the old one had, and this new one has a battery that use just recharge by using a plug in to the wall. I so happy now I have something to takes pictures with when I go to Scotland i two months, But maybe I shouldn't have complained so much about my camera and it's lack of feature since we're kind of tight of money. I suppose I shouldn't make anymore noise about since I have a bad habit of over talking and over anylyzing. But thank you anyway Dad! :-)

Hiatus End

2010-01-07T00:34:00.002-05:00

Wow! I haven't written here for a long time, but I promise that I'll try to write more. I always mean to post but I've been so busy with my outside life, and my laptop's motherboard died. But I've done many interesting things lately such as taking a speaking class, volunteering at a therapeutic horse center ( with I'll explain in the next post) and acting in a small community play. I can hardly believe it's 2010 also, the year went my so fast. In a few months I'm turning 18 too. But I don't feel adult at all, maybe it's just a gradual change. lately I've felt so inspired by this to work hard in my school work so when fall comes I can have many options of colleges to apply for. I can already tell that 2010 is going to be a big year for me SAT'S,getting my drivers license, my Scotland trip,applying to colleges, and becomes an adult. Bring it on 2010!

My Latest Obsession

2009-11-22T01:55:00.001-05:00

I was searching around Youtube and I found this cute electro-pop Japanese girl group called Perfume, Their music just makes me feel so happy and upbeat! This song of theirs is called "One Room Disco".

Cleaning

2009-11-22T01:47:00.002-05:00

Why is it that parents have to be so paranoid about cleaning? I mean,usually I clean my room eventually and the messiness of it is not as bad as they say. There is just so much nagging all the time and it drives me crazy! And don't they relize that one persons trash is another persons treasure and it's hard for some people in keep things in order than other? I'm sorry for ranting but I just feel very bothered right now. And I don't even have time to write what I want to say in full beacuse my mom wants me to turn off my computer.

Till we meet again!

I adore Red Velvet cake!

2009-09-06T23:48:00.001-04:00

My little brother Aaron is such a talented cook! He make this cake all by himself with no help and he's only evelven. He has been cooking since he was five and make food better than my parents sometimes. I wish I could cook as well as him.

Cheap Person

2009-09-05T22:22:00.002-04:00

I'm not sure about you guys, but I am a person who is very cautious about what I spend with money. I seems that every time I receive money I try to hold on to as long as I possibly can until it is absolutely necessary to spend it. For example, I'll hold on to my birthday money until almost a year later. It's almost like I'm scared to get rid of money. I think if I had a steady job and received
money more often I wouldn't be so afraid to spend it because I knew I could always get more. Or maybe I really am just a cheap person? I hope I can break this fear of spending money soon because then I will have a lot of problems when I become an adult. Do any of you have this problem

I'm Back

2009-09-04T16:31:00.002-04:00

Wow, I haven't posted since early August, What a horrible blogger I am.
It's just that i've spent most of my time out enjoying the summer and haven't had much time to post on here. But I have not quit and will blog much more for the rest of the year. I working on a big post summarizing my New York trip and one talking about the Phillies game I went to yesterday. Have you guy's started school yet, I have and miss summer already.

P.s. Does anybody have any book recomendations?

Much Love,

My Recap

2009-08-08T17:07:00.002-04:00

I know it's been a while since I made my last post, so I just want to recap you on what happened while I was gone.

-Last week I went to see the transformers movie with one of my friends, then we went to cold stone ice cream.

- Yesterday I had to go to a party for my handbell group. We ate chicken, had ice cream, and play all kinds of fun games.

-I didn't get my starbucks job that I applied for, but I won't give up.

-I have to send my camera in for repair but I found my USB cord.

-Had a doctors appointment and found out that I lost about five pounds.

-I'm working on building my first website and it's really hard!

2009-07-27T16:12:00.001-04:00

Today was the day of my big interview at Starbucks!Since I yet again went to bed late, I was really tired in the morning, but I was fine by the time we had to leave ( Around 9:45 AM). I really made sure i was presentable so my potential boss could see that I was manageable and hard working, so I even took a long shower and moisturized my hair. At first mom wanted me to drive with her earlier around eight after she dropped off my sister for camp, but I was far too tired to move . At Starbucks I noticed something that I had never seen before, I never relized they had coupons for free songs on itunes (This makes me want to come back every week).

I felt really nervous as my mother left me with my Caramel frappachino on a small table while I read the New York times. It didn't help that I could hear and interview already going on right next to me! I though I had filled in the application correctly, but stupid me! I was suppose to do it in pen! After I finished a brand new application for a moment I thought the manager had forgotten about me, but about 30 minutes later I ended up asking at the front counter. Throughout the whole interview I felt so sweaty and nervous, but I don't think I paused as much and said as many "ums" as I did when I had a lifeguard interview. I felt a little self conscious after hear the last girls interview and how much experience she had. But I will just pray untill Wensday beacuse that's when the manager will call me to tell me if I got the job or not.

Afterwards I felt a since of relief since all I have to do now is wait for that phone call. For about two hours later I had to wait for my mom to come back and pick me up after getting my little sister from camp. Luckily I passed the time by I'Ming on my phone and reading the newspaper. I was so happy when mom finally pull in from the road. I spent the rest of my time out at Barnes & Noble eat a sandwich, reading and drinking coffee. As you can see in the picture I also got quite a few book that I plan to read (I even saw the pride and prejudice zombies book but didn't get it). So i'm going toend this post so I can take a get.

Untill We meet again,
Lindsay

Woah!

2009-07-23T16:54:00.003-04:00

I don't usally watch reality TV that much because it seems so trashy, but I was surfing through the tv channels and saw this last part on a show called "Hells Kitchen".I really think this one contestant named Joseph has a huge anger problem.Now I can't wait for the next episode and hopes he doesn't beat anyone up. All he had to do was answer a simple question, and he couldn't even do that. I can tell this season is going to be full of drama!

Camera issue..

2009-07-22T20:22:00.003-04:00

I love this camera a lot, and I've carried it with me everywhere since around December. But one this annoys me and I keep trying to figure out what the problem is. After I take a bunch of pictures some turn corrupted and end up with a "file error" message so I have to delete certain photos. Know I don't know why it does this, and it just bugs me so much. I hope I didn't do anything to it by accident.

Beautiful Eyes

2009-07-20T15:34:00.004-04:00

I found these on session magazine.com. It's really amazing what you can
do with digital manipulation these days.

2009-07-18T19:19:00.002-04:00

I finally got an external hard drive for my laptop! My Dad ordered it for my birthday. Now I won't have to worry about my computer crashing or being too slow, and I can upload pictures more often! Thank you so much Dad! Hopefully this will last me a very long time.

This is a video post

2009-07-18T16:32:00.003-04:00

I hope me saying "so" too much didn't bother any of you I was really nervous in this video, so that's why my voice sounds a bit squeaky.

Let's Get Physical

2009-07-16T07:30:00.001-04:00

Good Morning!

I have out of shape for a while and today I decided to finally get back on an exercise regime.The program that I picked is call "couch to 5k" and it's suppose to get you from running small distances to running 5K's in nine weeks. The program is nice because it starts off small and then eventually add more work so it build off of your strength. So anyway I just finished the first work out and I can already tell that I have a long way before I start running 5K's at all. I still even have sweat running from my face, so I had to turn on a fan. I can still feel my heart beat fast. But I was prepared because I eat fruit loops and an orange for breakfast and had a nice shower beforehand. Speaking of showers, my mom is telling me that I should take another one.

Adieu!

Little people, in a very Big world

2009-07-13T16:34:00.006-04:00

Little plastic people that is,

Which one?

2009-07-12T23:06:00.003-04:00

So yesterday I got two job applications to apply for my very first job. One was from Wendy's, and the other was from Barnes and Noble. On monday I plan to drop them off at their respected stores and wait for one or two weeks. This makes me so nervous beacuse as I said before i've never had a job before and I don't know what to epect at all. But I hope that one of them accepts me beaucse I think it would be a great opertunity for me to grow and learn. So, wish me luck!

Home, Sweet, Home?

2009-07-12T14:00:00.009-04:00

I was lurking around the internet and I found some pictures of very strange houses. Would any of you want to live in these homes?

Wordle

2009-07-11T14:55:00.002-04:00

I found this tutorial on a website and thought it sounded really cool:

From UKMix, Bhaggers:

Here's this really cool thing you can do to see which words feature the most in your music collection (larger size means more times present):

INSTRUCTIONS:
01 - In your iTunes/iPod library, make sure you only have the TITLE, ARTIST & ALBUM columns up, and then press CTRL + A, then CTRL+C to copy all the words. After you have done that, unhighlight everything.

02 - Go to http://www.wordle.net and click on 'Create'. Press CTRL + V in the box and press go.

03 - Change the preferences to your Wordle using the toolbar

04 - Press PRINT SCREEN on yuor keyboard and paste the picture into Photoshop/Photo Editing Software/ even Microsoft PowerPoint!!!

05 - Crop the photo so only the wordle remains, and then save the picture :
(Photoshop/Photo Editing Software - click on "Save for Web & Devices"; make sure you're saving it as .jpeg/.gif/.png.
PowerPoint - right click on photo and click on "Save Picture", and make sure its being saved as .jpeg/.gif/.png.)

06 - Upload photo to internet using Photobucket / Tinypic.com / ImageShack etc etc. & post link/photo here

Now you try it!

Historical Tweets

2009-07-10T17:35:00.005-04:00

Has anybody heard of this site? It basically combines Twitter and historical events to show what various figures in history would have written if they had Twitter many years ago. It's really funny for people who really are history buffs and/or just need a good chuckle.

Don't Call 911!

2009-07-09T15:25:00.000-04:00

Okay ,so far today my mother took me to panera bread this morning as a treat for cleaning my room, I ordered a breakfast sandwhich and a mango smoothie (Their regular sandwhichs are better). After that we went to Old Navy to get some clothes for me. Mom completly left me on my own, and it was a little hard since I don't have a great since of style. When we got to the regeister some of the clothes I thought were skirts were actually tube tops! I felt so embaressed. At home my sister was getting sick and tired of our little cousin Jax, so she came in my room with me, but Jax came in and stared
cursing at her and hitting her as well. Then I decided to clean the dises so I could get away from both of them. A few minutes later though when my mom came back from dropping my brother off to a class, Jiniah (Our other cousin) told her that Jax had just called 911! My mother was really upset to hear about it, and we didn't even no he knew that number! A few minutes later a police officer came to our house and gave Jax as lecture about 911. This really takes me back to when my youngest brother called the number years ago. Mom had to take a rest after htat and was really angry so she called Jax's mom (our cousin). Now she just took Jax and the Grocery store to get ingredients to majke pitzels.

Up!

2009-07-08T18:45:00.001-04:00

I just got back from the movie theaters, and as you can tell from the title I just finished watching Up by Disney! At first I though everyone was going to that it with me, but since my cousins were visiting and wanted to see Ice Age 3, they saw that with my siblings instead. So I had to watch this movie all by myself with soda and popcorn in 3-D.There were almost no people inside. It was a very nice movie and even had a few funny parts as well. I highly recommend that you see it. The theme of the whole story was just lovely. At the end there was a bin to recycle 3-D glasses, but because I'm a rebel I took them home! ;-)

P.S. I saw a poster for a live version of Alice in wonderland and I'm intrigued.

Very Creative

2009-07-07T18:51:00.005-04:00

I found this video on youtube. It's from a Japanese band named Sour and everyone in the video consist of the band's fanbase from all over the world on webcames. I found it really intresting and creative from a video these days.

Rabbit Tragety

2009-07-07T13:01:00.002-04:00

This morning I woke up to a sad story. My brother David said that he found a rabbit sitting near the shade of a tree around our neighbors house. But as my brother got closer he noticed that this rabbit was very different from a normal one. It's neck was very broken and it was barely moving. At first we thought it was dead, but I think that it was just dying. It is just so sad that this animal is suffering and I wish that it could just be put out of its misery. I just hate to see animals in so much pain, and I don't know what to do.

Figured it out

2009-07-06T15:06:00.003-04:00

Yes! Now I know exactly what I need to prevent my computer from crashing and losing all its memory, a portable external hard drive. These are about the size of your hand and are as easy to plug in as an ipod. So instead of eating up all the space on the laptop, I can save all my pictures and information to this. It's is a lifesaver, Thank you dad for telling me about it! And it only cost about one hundred dollars. This means you will begin to see more pictures on this blog beacuse I now won't be afraid to eat up all the space.

Clothing and Short People

2009-07-04T12:06:00.002-04:00

I'm a girl, and most girls especially teenage girls like to look nice in good looking clothes right? Well its very hard to find the trendiest best fitting clothes if your 5 foot tall and even worse when your a little bit overweight.

Every time my mom takes me shopping it's a huge pain. Most of the clothing stores that I think have nice clothes (H&M, Charlotte Russe) don't really fit me well. Since I gain weight in certain places and not all over a lot of the clothes fit me in some places on my body and sticks out or squeezes in others. And when I go up a size that's the worse because then the clothes make me even look even shorter than I am and often are too long and look baggy. And when my mother actually finds clothes that fit me, I end up thinking they look ugly and are something that only she would wear out. These clothes are ususally from stores like lane Bryant, outlet stores, Chico's, and places that only people in their 40s and up would shop at.

I guess this is a sign that I need to become healthier since I always feel so lazy and week. It seems the only way I would fit into these nice clothes would be to stay constantly slim, or I could dream to grow about four inches. I just wish that I could find some stores that fit small women perfectly and look good as well.

They're Here

2009-07-02T19:03:00.005-04:00

Today we picked up our cousins Jax and Jiniah from the rest stop (their Grandma and Mom were with them), and I am preparing for a week of headaches since with them Shannon is so hyper and loud. Also I have to type quick beacuse we are going to the carnival in a few minutes to watch fire works, its going to be so Much fun. Aaron also made baked Dounuts that didn't taste like Doughnuts, but they were okay.

New Charger

2009-07-02T12:54:00.003-04:00

Yesterday I got my new charger to replace my old one which broke, on the other note my computer only has 8 GB left and I don't know what to do. In other news its summertime and I'm completely bored. But I won't be for long since some of my longer cousins are coming to visit in a few hours (and they are small children).I don't know why my mom invited them though since she already is stressed and they will make her even more stressed, but oh well.

Last Day

2009-07-01T11:49:00.002-04:00

Finally today is the last day of my biology class.
I'm so happy for it to be over. Four hours straight in a classroom is far too much for me. And i'm glad that I will be able to audit it beacuse there was no way I would have passed it. It really dranined all my energy and now I will have time to full enjoy the summer. And as a learning experiance I will never take another sumemer class again. But if it wasn't for this class I would have never used septa all by myself so I have to thank it in that area. Oh, I have to go !

Yay!

Update

2009-06-30T21:32:00.003-04:00

So its been a about a week since I last updated my blog and I wanted to share with all of you what I have been up to lately:

All of last week I was a camp counselor at the Church of the Open Door bible. I worked in the arts and craft department like I did last year, but I'm thinking next year that I might want to work in 1st grade or Kindergarten. was a little bit more tired than last year because I had to leave early for that four hour biology summer class (never taking a summer class again). It was exciting to see all the children so happy and excited (one kindergartner kept hugging me and jumping on me). Shannon (My little sister) was so adorable during the evening program on Friday because she was so into the songs.

Today I went to my homeschooling evaluation and Mrs. Naomi said that I would be able to pass to the next grade (11th) . I just need to work harder this up coming school year so my mom will have less stress and headaches at the last minute. I also missed biology class today but I emailed my teacher afterwards so I hope he understands.

My charger won't charge my laptop so I called customer service and they're sending a replacement that should be here tomorrow (second attempt). After that I will be blogging more and will upload more pictures.

A few days ago me and my sibilings went to the Clift's house for Laurie's graduation party, and I watched Phantom of the Opera with Jenny and Tori.

I also have recently discovered the joy of facebook and found alot of old friends through it.

Much Love!

Dinner

2009-06-21T21:56:00.003-04:00

I'm sorry that I couldn't take a picture, its because my computer memory is almost full. But today was nice and while I was still tired (I stayed up too late), mom made us go to Church since that is a good way to stay sane. The sermon was okay, I think I would liked it better If I wasn't tired. And the minister was very passionate about the lord and yelled a lot (This was a Baptist Church). After the Church we went home and I just crashed on the bed and talked to mom for a while. I have so much to do now until the end of the week that its not even funny. We also gave dad his father's day's gifts (Sorry dad, we'll treat you better on your birthday) .And on the Wii fit it said that I now weigh 113 pounds (right...) So tonight I will make sure that I'm in bed early so enough energy comes to me in the morning.

Today's Dinner:

Seasoned Lamb Chops
Salted Pasta
Seasoned Kelp and etc..
Asparagus
water
Dessert: 7- Up Pound Cake

Hilay And Jackie

2009-06-21T05:02:00.004-04:00

A few days ago I saw this wonderful movie on indieplex called "Hilary and Jackie. I thought the whole movie was so beautiful, it was about two sisters, named Hilary and Jackie who were both musicians (Hilary played the flute and Jackie played the cello). Jackie was the more loved sister and became more famous than her sister but eventually became deadly ill and slowly wasted away. The movie showed each sisters perspective in the time frame and made me cry a lot in some moments, I think everyone should see because its based on a true story of Hilary and Jacqueline du pre and so touching.

Bus Adventure

2009-06-19T23:53:00.002-04:00

So this is what happened one day when was planning to take the bus: It was around 4:17 and after my biology class. Mom was sick and I had some extra money so she suggested that I go to the mall and she or dad would pick me up later in the day. I agreed but I wondered if the bus would take me close to home since I had seen buses pick up people close to my house before.

So I searched on SEPTA.com and found a plan your own trip schedule which I made a plan of which bus to go. When to time came to get on I payed my fare and sat down close to the bus driver in excitement. But when we were my stop I got nervous. "It's just a side walk near the road" (Referring to the bus stop) I said to myself. The bus driver saw I looked nervous and asked me if I was new to riding the bus (I said yes). Then he looked at the schedule and said it was wrong. He told me that I should wait until the end of the line in Chestnut Hill! That was so far from home, I just couldn't call mom, she'd worry too much. After a longer drive we arrived at my next stop. I cringed when I sat down next to a man smoking next to me. "I shouldn't be here, this is practically the city!" Everything there was so cold, old and damp, and it was raining a bit too. Then I signed with relief when my bus showed up just like that bus driver had said. The bus didn't exactly stop at my house, but close to it, and I had to walk on grass close to the road to get home, but it was okay. When I got closer I called my mom to let her know that I was okay and opened the door, everyone wad shocked, and even more when I told them how I got home

What a week!

2009-06-13T17:51:00.003-04:00

Ever since Monday, a lot has happened to me.In biology class we had a few quizzes which I only got half of the questions on.

Later I went to a tutor and she told me that I bit off way more than I can chew, and that maybe I should consider a, auditing the class (taking it without credit). When I told mom, she said I just need to work smarter and stay on task. It's just really difficult because I didn't know that I was going to be taking one of the hardest classes in the whole college.

Also, we had a few labs this week (One microscope, one enzyme, and another one I forget). I lost the e-mail of the person I was working with, so I didn't know what part of questions to work on and I emailed her the questions far too late, and I feel awful, so I have to remember to apologize to them on Monday (I'm not a hands on person). And I also had an interesting bus adventure which I'll tell you about more in detail in another post.

So this weekend I just have to spend most of the time studying so I can pass this next test. I would upload some pictures, but my camera's batteries are dead so I will wait later.

Much Love,
Lindsay

Movie Time

2009-06-08T22:20:00.003-04:00

Now i'm back from class and ready to kick back and relax, at least for a little while. I feel so exhausted and worn out from biology. Mom sugessted that I watch "the curious case of Benjamin Button". So I'm going to take some snacks and go watch the movie in the home theater.

Here we go!

2009-06-08T12:18:00.004-04:00

Hello everybody,

Right now I'm about to go to class and take my test, so wish me luck!
I'm not sure if I got the right amount of sleep last night, but I think that I studied hard enough to do well. Last week I got an F on my first test, but the lowest test score gets erased so I still have a chance to do well. For breakfast I ate cereal and chamomile tea, and we also went to wawa for snacks.

Gone Fishing...

2009-06-07T23:22:00.010-04:00

While I was laying in bed my sister Shannon kept begging me to take her to one of her friends house (an Indian family). I kept refusing untill my mother practically made me go outside beacuse of fresh air. When we got to their house , their grandfather Abraham said that they went for a walk near where the pound was, so thats where we headed toward. To my suprise, the whole family was carefull observing my two brothers search for fish in the water. David said he needed a bigger net, and I wanted to get my camera and some water, so I left my sister with Aaron and took David's bike and rode home. Once I got home I relized that I was out of shape.Once I got my things the other family had left,so the rest of us spent the rest of the time looking for creatures.

Have any of you heard of this singer? I discovered her a few days ago and think shes simply divine. Her music just puts you into a dreamy carefree trance. My favorite songs of hers are "Daniel" and "What's a girl to do?".

Wow, I woke up far to late to get anything on my list done (6 PM ).
But I did manage to get in some study time before bed.

What is this?

2009-06-05T20:00:00.003-04:00

If you live in the United States of America, and have watched NBC for the past couple of weeks, you would know by now that they are trying to push a new show called "the listener. I really dislike this show so much. And do you want to knwo why? It's beacuse the main character abd premise of the show is based off the character of Matt Parkman of Heroes, which is strangley also on NBC! I mean, there are so many diffrent ideas that you could have for a new show, and this is all they could come up with? Where's the orginallity? I'm so tired of having remakes of movies and rip-off, people have brains, use them! I thought NBC would be smarter than this, and whats worse, he has a similar job and looks to the mind reader on Heroes. I for one will not be supporting this and I hope it get cancelled.

My do to list 6/5/09

2009-06-05T07:54:00.005-04:00

Now that its morning time, I think I should plan out what I need to get done today.

1.Exersice in some way

2. Clean my room.

3. Study Biology for at least two hours.

4. Finally complete my Amy Website.

5. Do extra homeschool work so my mom won't be as stressed.

6. Try to help around the house.

Lets see if I can do all that today!

Btw, my little sister lost another tooth:

(the other pictures with her showing her missing front teeth made her look evil).

Strange...

2009-06-04T20:37:00.003-04:00

When saw this at the gorcery store I thought it was really strange. I mean fried ice cream ice ceram ? But then I thought "maybe this could be really good" So I eventually convinced my mom to buy it and I'm glad that I did since it tasted really delicious and much better than I thought it would be. So a few days later I almost cried when I found out the box was empty, and what's worse, mom said we couldn't get it the next time we went to the store. :-(

Yes!

2009-06-01T21:44:00.004-04:00

After days or searching, I have finally found the usb plug to transport the pictures into pisca. So tomorrow I will update with pictures of what I have been doing over the last few days.

One thing I have to say, summer biology class is really hard. After the session is over I always feel too drained to do any homework.Durring class I always feel like i'm going to fall asleep and shut my eyes.I know for sure I will never do summer classes again, it's too streesful for me. But now that I've gotten my first test back and my score was below my expectations, I know I can try harder. I the most important thing that I've learned is that every hour of sleep that you get is very important and you cannot concentrate with just four hours of sleep everyday.

I cannot also wait to upload the picture of my hike in Valley green with my sister and mom. The whole surroundings were beautiful and and lovely. I cannot bealieve how much I have been missing by staying outside. From the sound of birds in the air to the rushing sound of water going down a waterfall and the sight of the sunlight toughing the bright green leaves in the air. Shannon was annoying at first since she kept complaining, but after a while she was fine. She just didn't want her picture taken at all. and The only thing was my chest was hurting for some part of the hike so I don't know what that is about.

I remember when I was younger I would run 2 miles often around this area and compare that to now I feel out of shape. I realize now how the girls of Australia's next top model feel in the exercise episodes. You can stay skinny by just proper dieting, but you need to exercise as too so you don't feel too weak.Well I have to go to study now so goodbye until tomorrow!

Thoughts on McCafé.......

2009-05-24T21:41:00.004-04:00

Last week when my family and I were running errands, we decided to go to McDonald's for lunch in the drive-tru. Also, I wanted to buy a iced latte McCafe drink because I had seen it in commercials alot and was impressed by the McCafé store I had seen in Washington D.C. When the latte finally came to me and I got a chance to take a small delicious sip, it was slightly disappointing. McDonald's really needs to present more options in their coffee if they want to be considered a serious competitor to Starbucks. But I'm guessing that they eventually want to expand this McCafé menu eventually and are just testing the waters. And unlike the Washington store, the coffee was just okay tasting. I don't know, I'm not sure if I would order a McCafé again. But hopefully they improve because it sounds like a solid idea.

Loneliness

2009-05-22T19:29:00.002-04:00

Why is it that when I am often at home I'm very outgoing with my family, but in public I can come across as quite shy? I mean, I am a very friendly person, its just that I often don't know what to say to people, and I don't want to make a fool out of myself. I think when I get older I will be the type of person who will only have a few close friends, rather than many friends in general. Of course like mom often says it could just be the environment that i'm in. For example, in the other neighborhood that we lived in I had a nice group of friends and was very outgoing.But ever since then, I've been so quiet. But I did surprised myself by speaking a lot in the recent college english class that I was in. A lot of the times I prefer to be alone because it helps me think clearer, but at the time I don't want to become a recluse. When I was at school even though there were a lot of people, I still felt lonely and couldn't relate to many people. But I still need some kind socialization.

The Search is over!

2009-05-21T18:11:00.003-04:00

After days of thinking, wondering if I would ever see it again, I finally found the wonderful movie that I had seem on TCM in amazon for sale! The name of the movie is "Au Revoir Les Enfants", and the setting is around the world war 2 period in France. It tells the tale of a french boy whose mother enrolls him in a all boys boarding school. He is very lonely there until he meets another boy named Julian. At first he just teases him, but soon towards the middle-end of the movie they become friends.But he does not know Julian's biggest secret, he's a Jew!. The whole movie is really touch and sad, especially when Julian's secret is revealed. I highly recommend it.Its only twenty dollars, so maybe I should ask my parents to get it for my 17th birthday...

Summer Goals

2009-05-19T22:32:00.000-04:00

I've decided that instead of moping around for three months, i'm going to use this time to improve myself and accomplish thing I wouldn't normally do. Here are my goals for summer 2009:

1. Get my junior's Lisense

2. lose 40 pounds

3. Aim for an A iny Science and History classes

4. Open my Amy website

5. Improve my self grooming and style

6. Master the Art of Crochet and Cello

7. Get a Job

8. Become more organized

9. Get more Sleep

10. Limit computer time

Yatta!

2009-05-19T21:38:00.002-04:00

I am so happy that I made it through this weeks worth of biology classes.
When I first heard this class would be four hours long, I wasn't sure that I would be able to still in it all and stay awake. But I did, and i'm so proud of myself!One important thing that must be done in preparation for next week is to read ahead,and get lots of sleep. I cannot stay up all night and expect to pass this class. The teacher also seemed very and and passionate about the subject, which is a very good thing. The classroom is a full lab and not a small room like the English class (which I got a "B" in!). Lab should be my biggest struggle, as I wasn't so good at them in middle school, but i'm sure that i'll make it if I work smart!

Too much of a good thing

2009-05-18T17:29:00.000-04:00

Star trek is a good movie. And Imax is a great exciting way to watch movies.
So it would make sense that two good things would fit together, right?.
But when me and my mom went to the Imax theater at the Franklin, it was too overwhelming. It felt like I was being squished and the screen seamed stretched.
Some movies are just not made for this type of thing.

Hallelujah!

2009-05-18T17:13:00.000-04:00

The other day I was wishing for lipstick that would moisturize and color my lips. Before I was using only lip gloss, and today I discovered this while searching the net:

Silent movies

2009-05-17T09:14:00.000-04:00

Movies have always been an activity that I have enjoyed for many years now.And I am a big history buff,so it would make perfect sense that I'd love silent movies as well. It's just interesting to watch one and see what the culture was like and how people experienced life in motion instead of reading it from a history book.I just wish that I could have been around during that time so I could watch the other 80% percent of the films that were destroyed and lost (I mean nitrate film, really?). It's also really cute how all the women look that human baby doll, when I was younger, I didn't notice that at all. To add to that I also found on wikipedia that the old films we see today are slow than in the 1910s and 1920s, which really gives you a different feel. I can see why most of the films that people like to watch on TCM are comedy, because you don't need words to make people laugh, just huge movement.

Great Wednesday

2009-05-14T22:03:00.000-04:00

Hello People!

Yesterday was so great because me and my brothers went to the movie theater to go see Star Trek! It was a really good film, it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and was probably one of the best films I have seen this year. My mom didn't want me to get popcorn the last time me and her went to see a movie,but this time I completely needed it!

Earlier in the day I finally got my school books for my upcoming science class that starts next week. This time I have to really focus and not procrastinate anymore because I need to not stress myself out anymore. My siblings also had a homeschool class at the YMCA and I had to workout there. But the only problem was that my sneakers were left at home and that made my feet hurt.

After dinnertime David opened his presents for his 14th birthday, and Shannon even wrapped most of the presents which were a pen, a notepad, his cellphone, and a digital camera.

My new school books:

Well! It such a warm and beautiful afternoon today! The weather was almost perfect here. It was so nice that my mom decided to take advantage of it by running some important errands. The first stop that me, my little sister, and my mom did was look for the ice skating rink. Today was Monday which is usually homeschool day, but since we were late to it, Mom decided just look for it to figure out where the ice rink was so we could possibly skate during the summer. After about 30 minutes, we finally found the place, and it was nowhere near where mom thought it would be.

The next stop was the public library, which reminded me that I should really get back into reading again. Shannon was suppose to return her Dora DVD, but she was sneaky and "Forgot" to put it back in it's case, and on top of that she got to rent an "Alvin and the chipmunks" Movie and keep the other movie for a week.

As food the restaurant of choice was "Peace of Pizza". This pizza place is very cozy and is known for its retro feel and unusual types of pizza. I got "Mac and Cheese" and BBQ pizza. Shannon even got a free cookie just for being adorable. The only complaint I have about this place is that they should actually play some retro music instead of modern. Mom then preceded to take us to a camera store that was going out of business to see if she could find some deals (The effect of the recession!) but nothing there caught her eye.

At the moment I am drinking a delicious cup of hot chocolate and watching an NBA playoffs game (Dallas vs. Denver I think?)

Ciao!

Yesterday was mothers day and to make herself content, my mom cleaned up the house and relaxed all day. She was also super excited when my dad gave her a mini laptop as a present, she had no idea (but we did). Since nobody wanted to go to the movies with my mom to see the Soloist with Jamie Foxx (Too dramatic for them). I decided to go. Before the movie we went to wawa to get candy for the film (I got twix naked juice, water, and some other candy). A great thing that happened was when Mom dropped money at the ATM machine, and a nice man who drove a motorcycle took it up to the cashier to show that someone lost their money (he could have easily taken it).
At the box office, my youthful looks gave me a advantage as the movie worker charged me only for a children's ticket. The movie in my opinion was better than I thought, but it was still no slumgdog millionaire.

A few days ago my Aaron my little brother made some apple turnovers, and they were delicious!

And sometime after that, Shannon iced Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls all by herself!

I'm Going to Scotland!!!!

2009-05-08T03:06:00.000-04:00

Tonight I learned from my mom that the homeschool handbell choir that i'm in is letting my little brother go to Scotland with the traveling choir, and they want me to come to play percussion instruments. I feel so happy inside, i've never been to Europe before!And it will be the first time that I will get to ride in a plane (minus when I was a baby). I still feel a little sorry for my other brother David.

Again

2009-05-07T03:27:00.000-04:00

Oh Great! Yet again I wake up around 4 o'clock and miss most of the day (darn you computer addiction !). Mom has been down my back about doing my math lessons so I can graduate. I mean to but I always feel too lazy to look at them and take notes, plus math is my weakest subject and the lessons are really boring. But I want to pass 10th grade so I should try to put more effort in studying.

Later today, my little brother Aaron was kind enough to make apple turnovers for all of the family (they were very good!) And I thought he had abandoned cooking for sports!

Another thing, on Tuesday I had a cello lesson and we were late because I kept trying to look for my blue cello book which I couldn't find lass week. Mom kept honking and screaming at me to go, but I finally found it in my parent room? When I got the Church my teacher seemed to already have pieces that I could learn, but was relieved that I found my book. I'm kind of thankful that my Mother played lots of classical songs when I was younger because now it makes practicing music much easier since I recognize a lot of the songs. Another note, My teacher told me we didn't even have class last week, so all the running and crying and screaming that I did was worthless(My mom had to call in saying we wouldn't make it).

Ugh...

2009-05-04T20:27:00.000-04:00

Oww!!! My period is on today and the cramps are absolutely horrible.
That's one thing I hate about being a girl. On the other hand I turned in my final papers and I'm officially done my first ever college course (I hope I get a nice grade!). After school, I went with my Mom and siblings to panera bread. I got a turkey sandwich and a mango smoothie (mmmm......). Now I am lying in bed in pain. And my Little brother Aaron keeps moaning about a DS.

Sleepy

2009-05-04T05:31:00.000-04:00

Right now its 5'o clock in the morning, and I am so sleepy.
I'm so tired to mindlessly surfing on the Internet, I should have been working on my college paper revisions, which are due today. Even though the Internet is a great tool I can't help to start thinking that it can make you even more lazy than TV does.
That's why entertainment seems like it is so rehashed nowadays and music is downloaded illegally so often, it's because of laziness. I feel like I have a serious computer usage problem that God and my parents need to help me with. I can bet you a million dollars that when I have children, their computer use will be minimal or only what they need.

On another note, what's really the big deal about twitter? It just seems like facebook status to me. I don't know why everybody would need to know what you are doing all the everyday. This just seems like a waste of time and will soon go the way of xanga and friendster.

2009-05-02T22:20:00.000-04:00

Today I woke up at 3:00 in the afternoon! I really have to go to bed earlier instead of mindlessly surfing on the Internet all night. I tried to make it up a little bit by putting away some of the dishes and vacuuming the steps. I feel that this is making me weaker and miss most of the lovely day and sunshine. I wished i hadn't woken up so late because I am almost starving for food now. Monday I have my last writ ting class and I should probably get chopping on my two papers ! (Film paper and research)

Friday!

2009-05-01T22:06:00.000-04:00

Today was basically a normal day, I had to go to my college class after having class off on Wednesday. I think I should have checked the weather online before I asked my dad to drive me because as soon as we got to the community college, it started pouring heavy rain. Then dad started yelling about me bringing my computer since it could short circuit in the rain. Class actually turned out to be very short ( only ten minutes!). I think the reason for this was not many people come to class on Friday. Thank goodness that I had my cell phone because my parents would had not known I was out early ( there was barely any signal). I can't believe that the day I have money, the cafe is closed! Note: on monday, the last day of class. Later that day dad ordered pizza, and I got a p'zone (A little too much for me). Right now I am watching 20/20 with my brother, and i'm thinking I should go to bed soon.

Yum!

Have you ever tried steak with teriyaki sauce? it taste amazing.
All you have to do is pour some terriyaki sauce on leftover steak and microwave it for one minute and enjoy.

Long time no post

2009-04-30T18:54:00.000-04:00

Hi! it's been such a long time since I've posted here, I just I have been far too lazy about it and try harder to post here at least three times a week. A few weeks ago I went to New York with my Mom to drop off our cousins (They had been visiting us for a week). The visit was mostly boring but the highlight was when my cousin Joy and I went to the movies to see "17 Again" with Zac Efron. I wasn't expecting much but it was much better than I thought it would it be. The worst part of the trip was when my three year old cousin Jax, took my toothbrush out from my bag and brushed his teeth with it!!! I cannot believe that Monday is the end of my first college class ever. In the beginning I was very scared of what to expect, but I've gown more comfortable later on. Also, on Sunday I went to a murder mystery party for one of my friends Jenny. I was Dr. Golden, a Chemist and the sister of the murderer.

GAMA

2009-02-09T00:13:00.000-05:00

A few days ago my mom made me and my family take a personality test and I learned that I am deficient of Gama. So now I need to have a better diet exersice and go to sleep earlier. Later tonight me went to Philidelia to vist my cousin who is in a traveling play. We have not seen him for years so it was nice seeing him only for a little bit. Also I watched the grammys which were boring.........

Lilly Allen

2009-02-08T17:14:00.000-05:00

I really don't care for Lilly Allen that much but I was on Myspace and heard her album on her page.
I thought it sounded realy good and I just might have to buy it when it comes out in a few days.

Raw Honey

2009-02-08T00:37:00.000-05:00

This is interesting, my mom bought us raw honey from the grocery store.
I never new that honey looked like this in its purest natrual state.
I guess it shows how much foods can get processed in the factory stage.

Doctors, I-Hop and CNN

2009-02-04T15:23:00.000-05:00

Hello Blogger,

This day I had to go to the doctor to check my thoat (its been sore for several days now) and the nurse had me take a test for streap troat. My brother was worse beacuse he felt weak and he has alergies so he has to take some medicine to make him feel better. After that we (mom, shannon, david, aaron, and I) went to I-hop to eat. I got the never ending pancakes which at the end of the meal made me feel almost sick. I didn't know that sides were served with it, I thought it was just pancakes. The only thing bothersome was that two men were sitting near us and talking about politics (it felt like I was watching CNN!). - Lindsay

Snow!!

2009-02-03T18:17:00.000-05:00

Yay we have snow again!! Hopefully we will get a lot of it and not a little bit of icy stuff like we got last time.
Today I also had a cello class, I have not been since before winter break but I don't mind beacuse I love playing the cello so much. In our group their used to be two other girls,but now there is one beacuse of a certain something (recession). On another note my room looks like a tornado hit it and it really needs to be cleaned up (much like my hair). And a couple of days ago I got my student I.D. card on which I look horrible.

My First Post

2009-02-02T20:09:00.000-05:00

Yesterday I was watching the superbowl and was so happy when the steelers won (Go Pennsylvania!!!!). The 3-D Commercials were alright, but not as cool as I thought they would be. Also eleven days until Amy Diamond competes in Melodifestival 2009, I am so excited about that, I hope she goes directly to the final! Also Shannon my little six year old sister cooked a taquito in the microwave for too long and this happened :
