My Birthday :-)

I had so many plans for my birthday, but some things got turned around. No matter though, because it was still one of the best birthdays I've ever had. I pretty much stayed up half the night finishing City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I'm not going to say what happened because someone might wanna read that book, but the thing I will say is that now, Clary BETTER end up with Simon! I wanted them together from the start!
When I finally did wake up in the morning, which was about 8, I got on Facebook and saw over forty people told me happy birthday. I was honestly shocked. That many people have never told me happy birthday before and I can't tell you how loved I felt! Plus, more people were calling and texting me, telling me happy birthday. It was honestly really great.
For my birthday, I got tickets to go see Eclispe from Twin (plus she's paying for my food, plus we're going to the midnight showing! Thanks, Twin!), a Zune from Bethany (it's her boyfriend's old one, but I promise you I'm not complaining), over $100 (and I'm still getting money!), 2 cards and gift cards, and a big ole candy bar! I love me some chocolate, I tell ya! LOL!!!
That afternoon, I was suppose to go to the movies and out to eat with Chris, Justin, my cousin Justin, and Jesyca. My cousin Justin went to a graduation instead, Justin had to stay home, and Jesyca got sick, so it was just going to be me and Chris. Then Bethany said that she wanted to come along, so of course, I let her! She was my ride! She wanted more people to come, so we called everyone in my phone book, and in the end, only two people could come: Wesley and Taylor, whom I love dearly!
Those two didn't get to eat with us, so it was just me, Bethany, and Chris eating at that restaurante mexicana El Toro's in Amory. (Two years of Spanish Class finally paid off!) Chris surprised me by paying for my food, which was my birthday present, and I can't tell you how much I thanked him for it. He paid for Bethany's also, justbecause her birthday was a few weeks ago, on May 4. Me and her also ended up getting pied, which was fun and messy. I wasn't complaining. I mean, I've seen all my friends get pied numerous times, but I've never been pied. I guess you can say it was a dream come true!
After that was over, we headed over to the DC Cinema to watch Iron Man 2. Let me say that earlier that day, I watched Iron Man for the first time, just so I could get ready for the second one. Taylor met us at the movies and Wesley came later on. We were gonna sit in the back, but me and Wesley wanted to sit in the front. Turns out me and him went to the front and the other three stayed in the back.
Let me tell you now, for those of you who wanna see the second movie, WATCH IT!!!!! It is so great, plus there is a surprise at the very end of the credits for those die hard Iron Man fans!
So after the movie, me and Bethany took Wesley home, which was fun, because now I know where he lives and I can roll him at Halloween!!! JK! Or am I?... After that, Bethany took me to get some ice cream. I can only say one thing about that: It was messy. I was a complete and chocolate mess once I got home. HAHA!!
So that's pretty much my brithday and again, it was, and this is the only time I will ever use this word... fantabalous! Grr, I hate that word, but it's the only thing that can describe my day! So now, I'm 17, a senior, and off to have the best summer of my life. Ask Twin all about it. Ciao!

Growing Up So Fast

Today I am babysitting my five-year-old cousin. She isn't as bad as she usually is with me. I'm doing it for my aunt while she's at work. But my cousin is in the living room, watching My Gym Partner's A Monkey, which I haven't watched in a long time, and I'm putting some pictures on Facebook.
Doing all of this, plus the fact I have to do so much before August, just keeps reminding me that I'm growing up. It truly sucks, you know. I mean, just this morning, I was watching Dora the Explorer with my cousin and I was just reminded so much of how it use to be when I was a kid. Back then, it was so awesome to be carefree. Maybe we couldn't get away with anything, but it was fun to pretend we were riding horses just by sitting on the edge of a bed, or running races, playing Hide and Go Seek and Red Rover. We tried to do something like today, people might think we've lost it!
With my birthday coming up, I just keep feeling older and older. Is that normal? I mean, if you knew me, you would swear up and down I was a little kid in a teen's body. I watch cartoons all the time, I can't stay serious for more than a second, and I reminicse about the past in my spare time. But I don't think the last part has anything to do with being a little kid. Everyone loves to think back to happy times, when it seemed that you just couldn't stop smiling. For me, it's fourth and sixth grade. In fourth grade, I had my best friends in world with me and everything just seemed so normal, plus I was still in Amory, my hometown. In sixth grade, we were considered the Seniors of Elementry School, so we always had so much fun everyday, even when we were just doing work.
It doesn't depress me, getting older. Don't get me wrong because it is pretty exciting. We get to do things that we've dreamed about doing since we were five. We're going to be on our own soon, we can travel as much as we want (as long as we have the money), and for some of us, we can get married. But we'll never have a greater stage in our life like childhood.
I really don't know what I'm going to do for my birthday. I mean, I had so much planned. I wanted to go out with friends and see a movie, and my plan B was to spend it with my family. But most of family is going to be in Jackson and my friends are going to be gone. Twin has to take care of her niece and nephew. I would so help her if I could! Well, I still have five more days. Maybe something will unravel before then.
Before I leave this post for the day, I just wanna say that Saturday, May 15, made exactly one year since Taylor O'Neil Smith drowned at Lake Buttahatchie. It was a real lost for so many people at Smithville and we all miss him dearly. Keep his family in your prayers, please. Ciao.

Summer is here!

I am now officially a SENIOR!!!!!! Omg, I never thought this day would come! I can't even began to explain how happy I am. It's just so amazing and I can't stop talking about it. So now that it's summer, I have so much stuff to do to get ready for senior year. I have to get my permit and license, and a job so I can pay for things like senior portraits, senior trips, and other things they want us to remember from our senior year.

Until I can figure out what I'm going to do, I'm staying with my grandma for a while. Well, right now it's only until Wednesday. Thursday is the Hatley graduation and I'm going for Breanna and Deanna (Arianna and Mariposa). Yep, they are leaving me and Twin and it sucks so much! Me and Twin are so gonna leave right after ALC next year and go visit them!

So besides job hunting and going to get my permit, I don't really know what I'm doing for the summer. I was suppose to go to Disney World (because I've never been) and I was going to go to the new Harry Potter themepark. (Um... can you say every Pothead's dream???? Lol!!!!) My best friend Elizabeth (who's ten and a big Pothead like me) wants to go also, but I don't know if she can. She lives in another state, so if she did go this would be my first time meeting her. I told her that the first time I see her, I'm going to pick her up, hug her, then drag her off to play Quidditch with me! TeeHee! I'm such a big kid that will never grow up!

Speaking of growing up, my birthday is a week from today, on the 22. I will be... drum roll please... 17! I'm sorta excited for it, but then again, I'm not. I just don't enjoy the number 17 for various reasons. I would rather skip 17 and go straight to 18. But anyway, I had to decide what I'm going to do for it, and honestly, I still don't know what I'm going to do. I could stay with grandma and see what they do for me, or I could go back home and hang with my friends. I wanted my cousin MaKayla to be with for my birthday, but she's going to Jackson on the 21st and they won't be back until the 23rd. Her softball time won all of their games and their going to state. As happy as I am for her (because it's such an honor!), it sorta sucks. But you know, you gotta do what you gotta do.

I really don't know what to do with my writing. I'm having so much trouble with Because You Live, Ghost of Me, and Twins after Death. Writer's block is such a freaking drag! I mean, my writer's block would only last like, maybe two weeks. I haven't written in any of my books about a month! Seriously, something must be friggin' wrong with me! But no worries, because this past month surely hasn't been wasted. I've been reading other books, which have given me other ideas for my stories. So hopefully, if God's Will, my writer's block will be completely gone very soon. I'm so ready to write and finish this!
That's it for today, so Ciao!
