Aliens of London

"No; it is not possible you should love the enemy of France, Kate: but, in loving me, you should love the friend of France; for I love France so well that I will not part with a village of it; I will have it all mine: and, Kate, when France is mine and I am yours, then yours is France and you are mine."

- King Henry to Princess Katharine of France (5.2)

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a quote from Shakespeare about aliens??? So then I searched London...no luck. Town...nothing. Finally, village...AHA!!! Victory!!! The above quote...

So much has been going on!!! The reason I haven't posted in a while is because of AP exams coming up...BLAH!!! I will be so glad when they're over!!! Last night was Friday and I felt like I needed to be over at the Sextons for movie night, but alas...no movie night...maybe I'll bring my own movie this Friday...hmmm

I'm going over to hang out with some lifeguard friends tonight, in a few minutes in fact...and we're going to have a breakfast party...YAY!!! I am totally about to check out of school...I have senioritis SO BAD!!! I'm not as motivated to do my homework...but i know I have to...a month and a week until graduation...HA!!! look out world...or at least Knoxville...here it come!!! Armed with a high school deploma!!!

Not very long, I know, and quite boring if I do say so myself, but I'll post longer after May 12th (last day of AP Exams)

The Unquiet Dead

"A walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more."

~William Shakespeare

I know that quote isn't exactly like the title, but whatever.

This weekend was interesting to say the least. It started off by going over to the Sexton's house for a movie night and we watched the Lion King which was cool. Especially because this coming weekend we're watching Narnia!!! Then Lori and I went around flocking people's houses. For those of you who don't know, flocking is when you take some yard flamingoes and put it in someone's yard and they have to pay you to get it removed. I am raising money for a missions trip that i'm going on this summer. I've been doing pretty good so far...but I still have a long way to go.

For lunch, I went to Target and the guy who usually get's us our food wasn't there...sadness...so I asked where he was and she said he was on break. Then there got to be a really long line behind us because the girl who was running the food court area was really slow and so we waited and then...wonder of wonders...Jim came back to help and the line was gone in no time!!! YAY!!!

Also...one of my friends texted me last night at like midnight saying something about some essay that she had to write and so we ended up texting back and forth for a while and it ended in laughter and quoting Fezzik in Princess Bride!!! (One of my Favorite Movies!!!)

~*Serious Note*~

I also found out this morning that the Girl that was killed Sunday and lived in my old neighborhood is the girl that I used to play with when I was little. I knew that I played with a Gabby, and that the Girl's name was Gabby, but I didn't want to believe that it was the same girl. Alicia and I shared the gospel with Gabby when we were little and she prayed to recieve Christ in front of my house one day, I can only hope that she meant it. Please pray for her family and friends through this hard time!!!

The End of the World

"From now until the end of the world, we and it shall be remembered. We few, we Band of Brothers. For he who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother."

- William Shakespeare ("King Henry V")

So yesterday we had a lock down drill at school and I was on my way back to my class and got sent to the main office when I was like 5 steps from my class. It scared me to death!!! But I had a good laugh about it afterwords... :)

Shakespeare is pretty much amazing and so it Doctor Who. I've decided to combine the two and name my blogs after Doctor Who episodes and start everything with a Shakespeare quote that is related to the title. How cool it that??? Anyhoo...

Today at McDonald's, a girl with Downs Syndrome was in line with her mom in front of me. I think she must have been maybe 4 or 5, she was so cute! She waved at me and so I smiled and waved back, and then I asked her how she was and she said good and then gave me a hug. I couldn't stop smiling! She was so precious! I hope that we all find that joy and happiness so that we can give perfect strangers hug (not the dangerous stranger, of which there are sadly so many in our society, but the ones that need a hug).
~*End of Serious Note*~

To understand me you must understand one very important thing...I have at least 10 things going on in my head at any given time and none of them have any particular relationship to another. Like right now, I'm thinking about Homegroup volleyball tonight, flocking people's yards, my missions trip, college, Earth Science, Calculus, prom, a gansta video that my friend made of me for her AP Bio class and tons of facts about Doctor Who and how GREAT it is...like I said, comepletely random.

I love reading, I'm reading Princess Bride right now for AP English and I love it!!! I love C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and lots of other books. I made a new years resolution to read 2 books every month, but unless you include books of the Bible I haven't really kept to that. But, if you count that I have finished at least two books a month, I guess that would work...I read a lot of books at one time and never really understood why until my mom read an excerpt from a book about Ruth Graham...something like comparing books to pickles, if you read (or eat) just one book (or jar) at one time than you loose your taste for it, she read many books for a variety of moods...I like that idea.

I can't think of anything else to say...hmm...oh welll Peace out!!!

Rose

"What’s in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet" ~"Romeo and Juliet", Shakespeare

This is my first post, so I'm just trying it out and seeing what will work out.

A day in my life is usually the same every day. Wake up, go to school, go to lunch, go home, do homework, take shower, go to bed, start over.

As I look toward college and see that graduation is less than two months, I realize how far I've come. 13 years of school [I included kindergarten, no I did not fail a grade ;) ] seems like forever, but at the same time feels like no time at all. All the memories that I have going around in my head; my different experiences, lessons learned, and friends made and lost. I think about all the friends I will make over the next four years and wonder how close we will become. Will we stay in touch or will we never talk again? What about my high school friends? Will we hang out when we all come back to visit?

I want to break the norm. Do something different with my life every day. I want to be a history maker. I want to make a difference in our world.

This blog will be random, fun and most likely stupid. Now that you know what I want to do. The rest of my blogs will break the mold!!!

Until next time...
