As of monday, I'm 17! Yay.

Oh and Katie if you are reading this...




I MISS YOU! :)

"he's just not that into you"

Today. School started back up again. And i pretty much didnt do anything all day.

First period felt like 2 hours, not 55 minutes. i got to sleep the whole time because my friend count in that class = 0. i tried to talk to the geek next to me about the book she had on her desk but she ignored me. haha.

The day seemed to go by so slowly. And thank God Sloane knows my schedule or i would have no clue where to go today.

Biology was probably the worstest of them all. We got a different seating chart, and guess what?
he sat me in front, AND next to the kid who asks really dumb questions.

i think my creepy werewolf teacher sat me there because he knew i was making 10 copies of an answer sheet for the extra credit game and passing them out to all my classmates. But they werent ever really good at hiding it. they would look down about every 5 seconds, giving everything away. Jeeez.

& like ive said before, i have like no friends in this class because they are all sophmores. except for this cool goth kid. we talk. and today i had a head ache so he gave me his last supply of advil...although our ancestors teached us to never take drugs from a stranger. ah well. got the job done.


History of the Movies was probably my favorite class today.
Shelby and i caught up, then fell asleep to the sounds of some ancient movie about prisoners. all i remember about the movie is that the prisoners had a certain way of smoking a cigarette and if they didnt do it right they had to sleep in a box.
hmmm. weirdd..


Mexico was a blast. i still smell like camp fire and secondhand smoke but i'm fine with that. this is a serious question: have you ever met a guy named Wally?


Im looking forward to wednesday. i miss small group :(
and this week im bringing mexican food!! yeeeeeeeahhhhhhh
Be prepared.

(by the way, you will only get the title if your name is Shelby Rae Irons.)


learn from your mistakess,

breakoutss&breakingfreee

Sydney said so. so here i go.

I think i kind of forgot about blogspot. and i forgot my password.

But nothing too exciting has happened lately. School is actually pretty good, and not as hard as everyone kept telling me it was going to be. Except i tend to get annoyed of people. people who have strong opinions or are just mean to everything and everyone.. But i try really hard to be nice to people, even when they arent nice to me. its hard, i admit. but i want to be able to love everyone the same.
Today i played around 100ish games of that small, triangle game that you get while your waiting for youre food at Crackel Barrel. I found it at a garage sale/sail a couple weekends ago and figured i could use it in during history of movies, when we watch lame black and white movies and everyone either falls asleep or textmessages.
and today i only go one peg left ONCE! thats it. but atleast i got better than shelby, who go 6 hahha.
well on another note..I get my license on October 19th! Now i just need a job, which is harder than i thought. I think im just gunna hafta work at albertsons all my life. ahh well.

so my history of the movies teacher, mr.conti, sang to me the other day. to be honest it was pretty embarressing and lasted a good 5or 10 minutes haha.
he was passing out papers when he called me "maria" in stead of "mariaH", which i hate when people do that, unless their name is Sydney Nicole Mullet :)
so i corrected him and said "thats NOT my name" haha and he was like "WHAT??! what did i call youu??" and i was like, "you called me maria and that is not my name"
so then he started singing my name loudly, over and over again. and this was just after we finished watching West Side Story, so i kinda knew where he was comming from..
but then sloane walks up to him, while hes singing, and asks him a question. he gets all mad at her and says"why would you interrupt me while im singing to Mariah??!?"
and went on about how she wouldnt like it if a boy was singing to her and someone interupted. then he was like : "Mariah has probably never had a young boy sing to her,... rightt Mariah??" hahah i was so embarresed, i was like yeahh, right. (sad, but true haha) and mr. conti isint even close to what i would describe as a "young boy". hes like 3493977 years old and probably has an autographed Bible.

so ther you are sydney, hope thatss enough!

merayeuh

6:40

This week is actually going by kind of fast!
& tomorrow is wednesday so i am excited :)

The only thing is that i am feeling sick lately :( I'm not going to mention any names, but some young lady has passed it on to me. (She's tall and skinny)
And you know when you have to cough but your too embarrassed to because the room is quiet?
Yep, thats me. Haha. I dont know, i just hate it when people hear me cough, sneeze, or blow my nose. And i dont like when people do it too. But eventually i have to get over it ha.

Other than being sick, my life is not too exciting lately.
It makes me sad when i see people who dont ever smile. And i've been seeing a lot of them lately. I try to talk to them but its hard to talk to someone that looks so emotionless. But i havent given up, i still have the rest of the year!

sneezes&coughs,

so i haven't been posting very many blogs lately. I've just been so tired and school keeps me occupied.
Not a lot of exciting things have happened so thats why i dont feel the need to post a blog haha.

exceptt...
wednesday night was a ton of fun and i'm glad our group worked out the way it did. We are a great group of girls and i cant wait to grow closer with each one of them and with God. And the best part: Katie's our small group leader!! :)


much lovvve,

Bo-Bo

I love this girll! Last night i got to hear her testimony and in some ways it was like mine. I'm so proud of her for being able to go up infront of a ton of women and share her story. She is such an inspiration. I'm so thankful that the Maples came to C-stone, each one of them have their own talents and they are an awesome family. I love you Bre! :)

Back to school, back to school....

The first weeek of school wasn't so bad. I just didnt like seeing all the teachers again and i wasnt looking forward to having homework for the first week...

BUT..
i have early release on monday, tuesday, and thursday! On monday i get out at 1: something and on tuesday and thursday i get out at 12.

I think the most boring class is biology, because i dont have any friends so i sit in the corner all alone hahaha
(all sophmores are in that class)

so i think this year wont be as bad as i thought it wasnt going to be.
im trying each day to talk to the new kids at school so they dont feel as alone as i did when i came to a different school..

on wednesday shelby rae and i went up to a new kid that was sitting alll alone during break. we talked to him for about 10 minutes and i could tell that he enjoyed our company, and it make me feel good that i could be bold for once and talk to someone i didnt know. (now shelby has developed a little crushh ;)

and on tuesday, i went and sat by a senior that was sitting all alone in a junior class...
my friend always thought he was cute so i thought it wouldnt hurt to try to get to know him for her hahaha.

so anyways that pretty much sums up the first week of school! it was seriously nothing that great.
& i still think my principal doesnt know it was my friends and i who tp-ed and seran-wrapped her car. lol :)


much love!

Untitled.

I can’t sit here and look at you.
I’m out of luck and you’re too caught up.
Wishing for the best,
But ended up with the worst.
Lost and worried, striving for first.
The clock with strike one again;
and when it does, this tedious life of mine will begin.
The growth of hatred sin, it will never end.
Changing and renewing, yet nearly forgotten.
Bitter rotten taste,
sticking with you through a slow and steady pace.
Waiting for a lifetime, without any halftimes to waste.
See in the eyes of the crushed,
and know what it’s like to be rushed.
She can’t live like this anymore,
with you breathing down her back.
and with the statues standing still,
just ready to attack.

SOOOOOO last night was insane in the membrane! Saint Sydney, Shelby, and BO-BO spent the night...

we basically snacked alll night haha and beat the crap out of eachother :)
sydney-boulda
me-dumb as dirt
breanna-rock

sydney found my stuuupid tickle spot and i thought i was going to diee!

hahah then we tricked shelby and told her we went to Castles and Coasters and breanna threw up everywhere!

i love these girls! God has totally blessed me with great people to grow closer too.
Breanna and i were talking last night and it turns out that my world history teacher goes to her old church! It was so crazy to hear that all this time my teacher has been telling me about her youth group and it ended up being breannas same (old) youth group. It makes me believe even more that things really do happen for a reason. ,

why so serious?

Last night was a blast!

Batman was a good movie all though i got a bad stomach cramp from holding my pee for so long...
Sleepoverr with Bo-Bo, Hooty, and shelby wasn't so bad either hahah just kidding :)
we said we were going to do like a million things last night but we ended up going to sleep, which was fine because it was already the next morningg!
there wasn't tooo many accidents ;) if you know what i mean
Best Part: pancakes by Trudy and Nathan Maples!




i think we need to have a sleepover with all of forever faithful soon!!




P.S. DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE I GOT THESE SCARS FROM?

Eli

Last night i got to talk to my brother, Eli, who is in Australia. It made me realize how much i really do miss him. In this picture i was only 7 months and he was 2 1/2 years old. I wish i had got to hang out with him more when he lived with us, but he was hardly ever home. I look up to him in so many ways, He is always putting others before himself. Oh, and he looks a whole lot like Jesus.I cant wait to go to his wedding! ;) haha. I hope that he is doing well in Australia and i cant wait to see him in December.

i think you should all know..

a little bit about myself. 

I've lived in Arizona my whole life. But not in the same house. Our family has moved about 13 times? (we lost track about 3 houses ago) but each house has memories of their own. 

At Tarwater Elementry School i met Leah and Shelby, two of my best friends to this day. I remember they used to make me eat grass because they said i was a lion or dinosaur in the forrest, so i followed their orders haha. We would also cheer for the boys when they played on the field, but we had to stop when the cutest kid in school at the time hit me straight in the head with the football. We have had some amazing times in elementary school, but i knew my life would not always be so easy.

I think as time went by and i became more mature, life became harder and there were more and more hardships i had to get through. I attended Bogle Jr. High for a year, (probably the worst year of my life, you will hear more about it laterr) and after 7th grade i transferred to Horizon Community Learning Center, where i completed 8th grade.

I stayed at Horizon for high school and sometimes i think i should've gone to Valley Christian after my brother, but ahh well. 

Today, I am trying to live for Jesus and give him all that i am. Things will be up and down but i try to stay focused and not let anything get to me. My friends help become a better person, whether they realize it or not. I express myself through art. Painting is how i let my emotions out and i'm surprised when people actually want to buy it! I like writing poetry too, but i have to be in the mood. I can be an odd person, and i'm very good at reading people. You will probably never catch me without ketchup at a meal. I love being around people but i don't like it when they stare. I want to be a good friend to everyone and i want to make people smile.
