10 Years Ago

Sorry about the lack of posts I have been swamped lately. Anyway, Kelsey tagged me with so here it goes.

10 years ago I was 5 years old going to first grade. I had Mrs. She was a very angry old lady and I got her the last year that she taught. We had a student teacher the 2nd half of the year. I hated doing these little eskimo diagram things we did back then.

*5 things to do on my list today*

1. Sit at home doing homework
2. Make journals for trek
3. Talk to an extremely cute girl
4. Think about how I am going to do horrible in some of my classes this term
5. Eat pizza

*5 snacks I enjoy*

1. Popcorn
2. Cookie dough ice cream
3. Snickers
4. Suckers
5. Cheesecake

What would I do if I were suddenly made a billionare?

Well I have already written about this today. I would start out by buying an extremely nice car, like a Lambourghini Revolutón. Then I would by a ginormous house with a slide that I could go down from my room to my kitchen. Once in my kitchen I would have a tongue scanner that would tell what the perfect meal choice would be for the day. My maid would then fix it for me and I would be able to party with all of my celebrity friends in the pool and jacuzzi sitting out back.

*5 places I have lived*

1. Farmington, Utah
2. I guess my cabin at Bear Lake
3. Farmington, Utah
4. Farmington, Utah
5. um... I think I've lived in Farmington, Utah before (have I said that yet?)

*5 Jobs I have had*

1. Bangerters Farm :'(
2. Raking leaves
3. I have run a lemonade stand before
4. Babysitting
5. Nothing else really

*5 things you don't know about me*

1. I have a birthmark on my left eye (yes on my eyeball)
2. I am WAY afraid of heights
3. I consider myself shy even though most other people don't
4. I have a lot less self confidence then most people can tell
5. I almost died at 2 weeks old.

New Experiences

New experiences are... interesting. Some of them are exciting to have and some of them you feel like you can live without. I have experienced both in an extremely short amount of time. So here are some of my experiences.

1. High school drama- Does anybody want it? No. Does almost everyone end up involved in it? Yes. I just had a big dosage of it and it was more drama than I need for the rest of my life.
2. ............- This is a very important one and there are very few people that will understand what this one is. It was a great experience and one I would like to be able to have again and again.
3. Teamless- You all know that I love playing soccer. I have just found myself teamless (most likely) for the spring season. 8 of the 11 players on my team that go to Davis made the high school team so that makes things tough on me... maybe I should have tried out after all.
4. Stuffed puffin shopping- Those things are hard to find! ;)
5. Codenames- This isn't exactly a new experience, but it is the first time I have experienced it to this degree. Marmolet, falcon, swan, goose, etc. (Idk whats with the bird theme)

There are more but I am too lazy to put them down so I hope you enjoyed reading about these.

Lack of Postage

Sorry about my lack of posts lately. I have been extremely busy, but I will try to make up for it... not right now though. I have to go do ID cards for AP Euro :(

My Story(Part 5)

Daxton and Parker got out of the car and walked timidly to the front door. Daxton rang the doorbell and a few seconds later they heard the shuffle of feet and the door opened. Kim stood there with the door open and beckoned them in. Looking around Daxton's thoughts started rushing through his head like a river just before a waterfall. 'So this is what it feels like to hang out with the girl you like... Wow, this is a really nice house... Ali looks really cute tonight... I wonder what we are going to do... What's Parker thinking right now?... What's Kim thinking right now?... Man, why didn't I ever talk to girls in jr. high?' As these thoughts raced through Daxton's head he introduced Parker to Kim and Kim, in turn, introduced Daxton and Parker to her dad. Then, they went to the basement to wait for Camille to come.



Downstairs, Daxton and Parker saw the pool table and quickly racked up the pool balls. They invited Kim to play, but she politely declined and sat on the back of the couch. After a couple very evenly matched games, they started wondering what was taking Camille so long and Kim text her to see if she would be coming soon. Shortly afterward, Camille showed up and they all decided they should order a pizza. While they were waiting for the pizza they went upstairs and picked out a movie to watch. Hitch was the movie decided on and they filed down the stairs with the movie. 'I watched this movie last night at my house,' Daxton thought as he sat down. Lines from the movie wafted through the air. The night went on with no significant events, but Daxton thought it was tons of fun spending time with his new friends. He need to hang out with them more often.

My Story(Part 4)

Several days went by and Daxton was overjoyed with how things were going at school. He had just walked out of math and was talking to his new friend Camille as they walked down the hall.

"So do you have any plans for this Friday?" Camille asked Daxton.

"Not that I can think of," Daxton replied.

"Oh sweet, well do you want to come hang out with me and Kim then?"

"That sounds great I will have to check though."

Ecstatic about this new development in his recently made friendships, Daxton plodded down the hall to his next class. Later in English, Daxton was talking with Kim and Camille about their plans for the weekend. They decided to all go over to Kim's house Friday night even though the time would have to be determined later because Camille's family was going out to dinner. Camille and Daxton exchanged cell numbers right as the class was about to end. Before everyone left, though, Daxton made sure he got Kim's cell number [for more than one reason ;)].

Friday finally rolled around after the days had dragged on. While Daxton was waiting to go to Kim's he headed over to his friend Parker's house. Daxton told Parker his plans for the night and right as he was finishing summing up his plan for the next day his phone "had a seizure". His phone vibrated so violently that it wouldn't have been too surprising to see it burst into flames and then blow up completely everytime someone text or called him. He looked down at his phone; the text was from Kim. 'Hey camille is still at dinner but she will be done soon. when can you come over?'

'Anytime you want. Just tell me whenever but i have to find a ride still.' Daxton's fingers speedily typed in.

'Ok well you can come over pretty soon. are you bringing over any friends?'

'Is that ok? If it is then my friend Parker might come with me'

'Oh yeah that would be great!'

'Alright cya in a bit then.'

Daxton hurriedly presented the idea to Parker, and Parker relayed the information to his brother and dad. Reluctantly, Parker's dad agreed to let him go (without knowing they were going to a girl's house). Parker's brother had the obligation of watching the younger siblings thrust upon him and Parker's dad took an extremely hyped Daxton and a somewhat excited Parker to Kim's house. . . TBC

Readers' Choice(Answers)

So here are the answers to the (very few) questions that I got asked in comments for my last post.

When are you going to finish your story?
I want to finish my story, but it probably won't happen in a couple of posts. I will most likely add to it pretty soon, but I am guessing my life isn't ending too soon and the section I am writing about probably won't end too quick either.

Do you mind having a girl you have never met comment on your blog?
Not one bit! I would like to get as much input as possible and maybe you can help catch up on the slack from the people that I have met.

The "important" one: BYU or Utah?
I have debated over this before and when I was little I liked BYU because most of my friends liked BYU. Then, I kinda decided I wanted to get in good with my brother-in-law and switched sides to Utah. After that I realized that I didn't really care what went on between them. I just know I would rather go to a college back east like UNC.

What is your favorite part about high school so far?
My favorite part about high school so far is definitely all the new friends I have made. That was the hardest thing for me at first because, as I am sure you have all heard me complain about, most of my friends go to Davis, but it is still the best thing by far.

What are you more for: dating or driving?
This is a very tough question. I would say dating, but then most of my friends would say I already have done that by going to the Christmas Dance. I would also have to think about how I would get to and from dates. So I have to go with driving because I am sick and tired of planning around another person's schedule just to get a ride.

If you were deserted on an island, and you had everything that you needed to survive, what 3 things would you want to have?
Ok so this is going to be kinda religious and I don't know if one the things counts but... I am going to say I would bring my scriptures, a good friend (Jamie would be counted in this category), and plenty of duct tape.

When are we going to go snowboarding??
This is a question that I don't think I have an answer to. Anytime that would work for you would probably work for me. I don't have anything going on, really, and I need to learn to snowboard so this is kinda up to you, Ali.

Comment Please

I have got a couple comments, but most of them don't even relate to the post. So this is a short and sweet post. PLEASE COMMENT! (K maybe not so sweet, but it was short and to the point.)

Readers' Choice

K so I liked that idea that Josh did for his last post, and since I have copied him so many times, I decided what would it hurt to do it once more? So any questions or anything like that, that you want me to answer just put them in a comment and I will do my best to answer them unless they are extremely personal or something. Maybe some of you will comment for once... or maybe none you ever really read my blog so this doesn't really matter. Please comment, if you can't tell, it really bugs me that none of you comment on mine, but everybody else gets comments on their blogs.

100 Things (again)

I noticed everyone else was doing this so I decided to do it again :) Oh and I have noticed the commenting has gone down on my blog again. I don't know why it seems to only happen on my blog, but please comment. I wouldn't tell you almost every other post if I didn't want you to comment.
