why can't it be friday???

ugg.
i have had a REALLLY long week.
good news or bad news first?
good.
yestday, i ti-died with jeni and the young women, it was fun.
one quote
lucy had just tied a cloth belt that i was waering, for no reason in particular, around mey head. when i took it of a bit later, she said " aww. you don't look like Nephi anymore.'
i responded with ' i didn't look like nephi, NEPHI WAS A DUDE!'
apperently, the others thought that was funny.

memories....

Ive been thinking a lot about friends...all the Friends, the best friends I've had that I've lost, forgotten, drifted away from.
haley, sasha,nora. eden, calvin, mariana. eden(diff person)
do you remember?

haley, do you remember he time eden played dead on the trampoline, and we rolled her off? the day we first met, me on my brothers old bike, you with your new puppy, pepper?
do you remember the stories we played, Indians, farm girls, spies, giant town?   do you remember the novel we were going to write? or the time e fought over the club we were going to make?
do you remember? i do.


sasha, do you remember? do you remember those days we hid in my closet from the t-Rex's of our imagination? or the games we played during recess? or the trinkets we'd trade, a bit of cloth for a bead, a note book for a box? do you remember the notes we would write, in our pretend cursive, the letters that were but lines and dots, as neither of us could read or write?
do you remember? i do.

nora, do you remember? do you remember the unicorns your mother would draw for us? or the time we went to fentons and made bets on how many pieces of gum we would get in our bubblegum icecream? do you remember the time that dog chased us, and we ran all the way down the hill in my yard, terrified?
do you remember? i do.

eden, do you remember? do you remember the time that we took my dads tools and hacked a way at that old cememt block wth the wood? or the time we built a mail box under our desks? or the times we played 'hamster on the loose' in my room?
do you remember? i do.

calvin, do you remember? do you remember the time we saw the first pokemon movie together, at your house, and i started to cry? do you remember playing 'land before time' in my yard? do you remember the games we played in preschool?you were my best friend. do you remember the pikachu pinata? and the time we went trick or treating, me as a frigde, you as a mad scientist?
do you remember? i do.

mariana, do you remember? do you remember the time we caught a ladybug in my yard? or the monday playdates we'd have every week? do you remember the barbies we'd trade? i can still see your old room in my memory.
i remember. do you?

eden, do you remember? do you remember the spy club we had, or the hidden compartment i found in your room? do you remember the magic tricks you taught me, and the ones i taught you? do you remember when you first came to my house to see my cats? do you remember those AWFUL cookies i made you, with honey? (i hope not!)


this was what i was thinking as i left the park this afternoon. i whish i could go back, to see them the way i did before. go back to the fun times we had. the play dates, the bakesales, the sleepovers and movies. the madlibbs and sicks and dolls and tv shows we loved.
none of you are reading this, are you? it doesn't matter. i wanted to say it. i miss you. i miss you all. im sorry for letting us drift so far apart.
the things you gave me i treasuer.
the pig from calvin, with the penny inside.
the clothe from sasha
the drawings from haley
the little toy bear from eden.
the photos from nora.
a  dried bit of grass and a note from marianna.
the 'key' to our 'mail box' reminds me of eden.
i remember you, always.






justy wanted to post this! as mr. mike says, one of the most important words in this world is 'remember' i agree. i agree.

i've been depressing lately, haven't i?

most of my recent posts have been sad and whiny. so, here are some rather funny, life lesions.
enjoy:

don't drink grape juice while in a white shirt in a car.

dropping your cellphone in a bathtub, pool, or other body of water, while it contains water, will kinda kill your phone

your mother/father WILL find out if you die your hair purple

milk crate make really dull and boring pets.

if it hurts, DON'T DO IT AGAIN

that which does not kill you will make you stronger...it just might take a while

all that is gold doesn't glisten. by the same token, all that glistens isn't gold.

when in doubt, duck. when certain, don't bother cause you're already done for.

while driving a car through a gate MAKE SURE THE GATE IS OPEN!

NEVER peirce your belly button in the dark

if your teacher tells you to quit talkingafter a test or s/he'll give you a zero, s/he means it. really.

if you can laugh at yourself, you're gonna be fine

hair is flamable. Very flamable.

sticking things up your nose is not the smartest thing in the world to do.

don't juggle knives unless you are really, really good at it.

you WILL get caught if you set off fireworks in your basement.

these are just a few, rather funny life lessions. have a great day world!
anyway, more later.

my week thus far (counting the weekend)

so much to say..Friday:
went to the ward talent show, had a blast. Mr. mike's song, the Berkeley ward anthem, to the tune of the (, i can't remember the songs name!!!!) you know, the 'glory glory hallelujah..' song!
the 'mine eyes have seen the glory of the'... song, was really great.
Saturday: saw my fave cartoon, went shopping, got library books.
Sunday: the usual. went to church...walked down the hill.... read 600 pages...(hey, i had some dang good books!
uh..
Monday:
had a sub in Spanish. the sub didn't speak Spanish...duh.
went to the dentist at 800 am.
to get a cavity dealt with...
only i got sorta sick..
as i was waiting for the Novocaine or whatever to make my moth numb, everything started spinning...i kept shaking myself and closing my eyes, but i was spinning...
i barfed about then...
so i went home, napped till noon, then was 'well enough' to go back to school...
so i did.

Tuesday.
uh..what did i do today..
lets see... seminary was fun....
school was school..
the evil Spanish teacher from hell was back...
i found out that my cousin is coming from AZ in 10 days...
only 10?! that's how long i have to earn enough money to get out of the state?!
sorry, but C is...a fan of...discussing, for lack of a kind phrase, politics...
she is a Republican..
supports the war.
and...
well, she bad mouths other religions.
yeah... when i went to her house last summer, she would not shut up about politics and kept badgering me about my opinions...
the thing is, i just don't care.
bush is spending us into the ground, i hate war. that's about it.
to me, it is all grey, there is no 'good side' or 'bad side'
but to her.....
Truth be told, i don't care what she thinks of this, if she ever sees it.
now, last week, i wouldn't have dared say this but i was looking at my old diary last night and i spent plenty of time writing down just what i thought of her ideas, and how she made me feel. i was pretty hurt that week...sure, we had fun, but...i don't think it was worth it.. every one's entitled to their opinions, and by golly, i have mine!

if you know me and are ticked of by this, i don't wanna hear it. i learned to keep things to myself, so can you! im only now letting it out, so wait 9 months, then yell at me.
anyway more later.
