17th birthday party!!!

saturday my bff and i decided to have a combined 17th birthday party!!
we had everyone come over at 4 to start. we started with a SPLATTER PAINT PARTY!!
we went out into the common-area (grass) and just threw paint at each other.
our shirts turned out really cool! after that, people went home to take showers and then we went to my bff's house for pizza. then we went back to my house to do a scavenger hunt/treasure hunt that my pops put together. it was really hard but really fun! our team came in 3rd out of 4. not bad... then we had the cake that my bff and i made. there were three different kinds. we made ice-cream cake. so one had oreos for the "crust" and cookies and cream ice cream. one had thin mints and mint chocolate chip ice cream. and one had chip-ums (off-brand haha) and moosetracks. sooo good! the mint went the fastest. after that some on us went downstairs to watch Independence Day while the others hung out upstairs. it was fun! and some even brought us presents (even though they were told not to haha) i got lots of new EARRINGS!! so excited!
so yep. that was our party and it was super dee duper fun!

i...am....FRANKENSTEIN!

so as you can tell, i am frankenstein.
not that i'm a zombie-dude made out of body parts.
or that i'm green. or i stick my arms out in front of me and go "uggghhhhhhhh".
but i'm frankenstein because i have stitches like him. that right, stitches.
but no worries! not on my head. on my ankle.
seven stinkin' stitches pulling my skin back together. it's quite fascinating really.
the only thing that really hurt during the process were the 4 numbing shots.
those were quite unbearable. but after that, i was perfectly fine.
this is the process of...happenings:
- numb me (ow)
- cut me open with a little scalpel
- take out a chunk of my ankle and put it in a little plastic jar
- lift UP the skin and sew me together BENEATH my skin. (kinda confusing sounding)
- sew up the top of my skin
- the end
isn't that COOl? and i watched them do some of that.
the only bad thing is that it's on my ankle and the skin is really tight there so it's a little difficult to walk normal and i can't run.
and when i stand for a long time, it feels like my ankle is gonna pop cause the blood is pooling down there. but i like them.
they're so cute! but i'm not allowed to look at them cause i always end up touching them and then infecting them. bad girl i am. :)

-picture coming soon- :)

you have to wait till you're 18. really?

no, not really. that's what i thought for the last 6 years of my life though. i have been constantly begging for pierced ears but always, my mom would refuse. she said i couldn't until i was 18 years old. and whenever i asked her why she would say: "because i want you to make sure you really want to put permanent holes in your ears". (sigh)
BUT THEN ONE DAY
in jazz choir, our teacher handed us (the girls) a gift. and what else would it be but earrings! and, of course, i was the only one without my ears pierced. and the earrings are gorgeous! they're long and silver and sooo cute!
so i get home and i'm begging my mommy again and showing her the earrings and she still won't budge. so i leave and she's talking to my dad.
when i come back, i'm like "daddy? what did she say?" and he was like "well, if you bring me a nail and a hammer, then yes, you can get your ears pierced." he thought he was pretty funny.
so finally i figure out that they're gonna let me and i'm ecstatic!
so on friday after school, we head over to a salon place to get them done. i chose little diamond (april's birthstone) and the lady gets out the gun. this is when i start getting a little freaked. she marks my ears and then shoots them. ow. they hurt. and stung. and were hot. and throbbed. but they were done!
and now i have cute little diamonds in my ears for 6 weeks! how EXCITING!
so if you want, you can buy me some earrings. :)

please don't buy me some like these. i just thought it looked kinda cool. and nasty at the same time.

gotta be violet skyyy....

at this moment, i happen to be obsessed with a song.
i hadn't heard this song until it was sung by Vocal Point in Nauvoo, Illinois.
this is how it goes:

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like me
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

it's sooooo good! here is the link to the music video too. watch it!

and that's how i've spent my day.
the end.

don't you hate the stupid people?

so today i finally got in a crash. if you can even call it that. it was really more of a bump. and it was TOTALLY not my fault!!
so i was just sitting there in line to get out of the school parking lot with my little brother and his friend in the back seat and there is a car in front of me and behind me.
suddenly, the car in front of me has it's backing-up lights on and is just coming towards me. i didn't have time to react with a honk cause i was just kinda like "duhhh, what the heck are they doing???" and then came the 'thud'. that's when i was like "are you kidding? they just hit me?" so i'm straining my neck to see if i know them and whatnot, and they just speed off and leave. luckily, a girl in my grade was right behind them and yelled out the "license plate #" to me. you see, the car was a brand new car, so what she gave me, i hope is the license plate number. it was mighty short but, whatever. i was just shocked that this ... child didn't even bother to look behind her/him and realize that there was a car right behind her/him.
luckily, there was no mark. at least not that i could see. but still, they should pay for my emotional stress and me being late to come home.
butttttt, today is friday!! and it's raining!! what a great combination.

ok, so it wasn't this bad, i just like to think it was a bigger deal than it really was. :)

what day is it?

so i'm really sad right now because i thought it was friday. turns out it's really thursday. bummer. and tomorrow is a stinky day at school cause i have a test i don't feel like studying for. so i'm not going to. you know what would be really good right now? some nice, warm, fudgy, brownies!
hmmmmm. that would be tasty. or reading a good book while drinking something yummy on a comfy couch. oh boy. i am in the mood to cuddle!

rain rain don't go away

Yay! Hurricane Hanna has arrived. Everything is canceled, everything is wet. No soccer games. Just staying inside, hanging out, and watching the beeeuuutiful rain come down. I say that it's flooding because there are a few little puddles on the ground. That's flooding. Supposedly, however, we are supposed to get anywhere from 4 to 10 inches of rain!! I just want to go outside and play in it! In case you don't realize it, I LOVE THE RAIN.
