ok today was cool. i woke up around 10 cause bobby called me and we decided that we would chill. we did. he came over to my house around 11 or 12. poor kid got to meet my family. yeah we were going to watch a movie upstairs but erin overtook the tv even though i told her that i get it once he got to our house. whatever. she is kinda mean that way. anyways he came over and we hung out in my room listening to some awesome ragtime jazz, and some swing music on my new record player. we got his sketch pad out of his trunk and started drawing. me i was more so just sitting there with a pencil in my hand while he was sketchin something cool.
then at two i got the opportunity to go to work. horray for me. i thought that is what you were thinking. it was all fine and dandy. i was tired and a little slow on my work but whatever.

Christmas

Christmas with the relatives. What can I say. I bummed a ride home early with my brother. Then he had drive me from his apartment to my family's house. Poor kid had to drive a lot today. We had some prety good conversation though in the car on the way home. His girlfriend fell asleep in the back seet. We talked about church, school, college, and a lot of other things.
Then when I got home I walked outside with the dog and made sure she went to the bathroom. Then I went over to Bobby's again. He is a fun one to hang out with. There was a group of us there. We watched a movie then sat around in his room. cool huh? yep, for sure.
Today I was woken by Jason. He is quite a funny, cool kid. Yeah. I then got out of bed and went to Northtown, the mall area, and went to some thrift stores and a book/record store. I was looking for some good jazz, swing, and so on. . . records. I found some good ones which is cool. Oh, I recieved a record player for Christmas from my folks. I have wanted one for a long time so it was awesome to get one. I'm very thankful for it. I will use it to its fullest extent. I hope you all had a fun or at least interesting Christmas. I'm off to go clean off one of the walls in the kitchen so that my father can paint it while still on break. Later! I'm rockin out now, heck yeah.

one memory to add to the others

Today was prety awesome. i woke up, i dont even rememeber when. i think around 10. jeremy called me and i told him i would call him back when i was actually ready to get up for the day. like always, i couldnt fall back to sleep. so i ended up getting up and took a shower then played game cube then super nintendo. that was all cool. sometime while i was doing that i called bobby and he said he was at a buisness meeting but we could get together later in the day. so that is how it went he ended up calling me back later and i drove over to his house and hung out.
we talked to tracy, his sister who is a year younger than me and a cool girl, for a while. its kinda funny to see how different siblings treat eachother. then bobby asked me what i wanted to do and like always i cant make a decision, i hate that i am that way! we then went to calebs house. his parents, g-ma, and drew were frosting christmas cookies. funny to watch. they made some prety oddly decorated cookies. after that we went with drew to northtown mall for his last few presents. drew is not one to shop with. it took him forever to decide what he wanted to get and then he would forget it. we tried to keep him in line. then we went back to bobby's house and hung out. sat in his room watched office space, then talked, then played sega, then talked some more laughed, had some good words. he is a really cool guy. i wish that i would have go to know him before he graduated. yeah anyways its late, 1:11, crazy. i better get to bed. i have to work tomarrow. yeah that is sad that i have to work christmas eve and christmas. i get double time though so im fine. k enjoy your sleepy time. adios

dating

ok what do you think about dating. so i was talking to one of my friends about it and i guess truthfully i havent thought about it for a while. i havent had to. a while back i prayed to God that he would take the crushes and "fake" feelings away from me. and he listened to me and did.
so i was again thinking about it and remembered about a few years ago while i was still young and somewhere in junior high or a freshman i decided to "date God" i am not going to date until after i graduate from high school. it is a promise i made to myself and God. i have kept my word, even if i have liked a guy i havent let it overcome my promise to God. I'm not going to break it. I dont like making promises if i am not going to be able to keep it. so that is why i dont normally promise anything.
i was then reminded of what i look for in a guy. (this i looked at i wrote it 3-4 years ago and i still feel the same way)
to have integrity and ambitions, love God and be seeking a relationship with Him, be respectful and responsible, to have a urning for Christ, love my family and friends, show the fruit of the spirit, have the same understanding as me and the same morals, we need to be able to lift eachother up, to be able to talk about anything with eachother, not keep anything hidden, trustworthy, dependable, and it would be cool if he was cute but looks dont matter.
what i am not going to compromise, GOD!, my goals and ambitions, my family, my friends, a life, my dreams, my daily walk with God, and I'm not going to compromise myself.
there ya go, its just a bit of what i felt like sharing, maybe i will share some more later, i have to finish my homework of Macbeth for english and go to bed, i have to work tomarrow night so i need to get sleep tonight. alright tell me what you think about dating and what i said if you would like, i would love to hear what you have to say. : -) enjoy your night!

last Christmas band concert of high school

alrighty well today was all fine and dandy. school was ok. after school i went and volunteered like every thursday. cheryl, the activities director, told me that they are looking for a receptionist to work from 2:30-4:30 every weekday. that would be awesome. so i am applying and if its God's will i will get the job otherwise i will stay at holiday. anyways on to the good stuff.
tonight we, meaning the high school, had our Christmas band/choir concert. we started out bad cause the trumpets kinda messed up a bit. as the night went on we got a little better. and it was going all fine and stuff. then when the band was about to play after the choir. mr. R didn't come up. on the screen came up a part from, Rudolph the red nose reindeer. with the abominable snow man. mr. m started reading a story that was made up about our practice charts and so on and how it made the abominable snow man. and such and such. anyways I'm not makin much sense here so this is what i wanted to come out with. mr. rudzitis came out dressed like the abominable snowman. he looked more like an white gorilla. we then played our next two songs with him dressed like that. indeed mccs is a crazy school. i looked over at ben and we just totally agreed. we are ganna talk about it later. then i look over at his bro Nathaniel, who i am tight with too, and we just shook our heads in disbelief. yep.
after the concert i hung around with Nathaniel talked to a few people. i showed Nathaniel the senior table which now has Christmas lights all around it hanging from the ceiling.

chemistry

woohoo! the test is now over! i am so happy. thanks to micah and a select few i am understanding it to a certain extent. which i am happy about. oh i didnt pull the alnighter that i had thought i would do last night. i ended up staying up till midnight. i read the ch. about 3 or 4 times and did some of the ch. pack and couldnt stay up anylonger. the energy drink did no good.
i wish the sun would come out from behind the clouds. that would be all nice and dandy.
oh today in chapel the bands played and the choir sung. i dont think we did the greatest. we got to concert band 4th hour and mr. r got on our tails about some things that we did horridly wrong. other than that the day was prety ok. nothing much else to say. :) chow!

colorful soul

Near the billowing oaks
Growing on the grassy hilltops
On the ground soundless
Lay a soul gazing upward
Towards the blue sky the eyes reached out
The mind longed to hold the color
Overhead the sunlight began to fade
The horizon grew to a striking hue
The heart began to beat faster
Racing to catch the sunset
Colors bled from high above
The black night sky captured the souls dream of color

everybody was kung foo fighting

hey man waz up slice? not too much here. just got home from school which if i do say so myself isnt that cool. yeah i see micah made a blog. that is awesome. blogs are cool. i have some homework to do so maybe i will come on later and write something interesting. oh well enjoy.

off my rocker

yeah im tired. i woke up today and yesterday at 5:45 to get ready for work at 6. crazy. i think im ganna take a nap. hey i went to see alexander with my friend jeremy yesterday. not a bad movie. i didnt like a few of the scenes. i saw a little too much. its fun to chill with jeremy, i dont know what he thinks though. im kinda a boring kid. oh well nothing i can do about it.
yesterday while i was at work my family was at my grandparents house. i was told i didnt miss much. yeah its kinda sad i havent been to one of those functions for a year or so. when i see them next time they will be all like "oh my carrie, how you've grown" and then i will think "yeah outward, i am getting prety fat." Nah, im just kiddin but yeah.
ok so i find it prety rockin that whenever i come online jon is on and we always chat. funny kid. its sad he is oh so far away at rocky mountain college. oh that reminds me i put in an application to the Black Hills State University. i have always liked it there. and jon was telling me not to worry about how other people want my life to go and how i think about pleasing others too much. he said i should just think of how i want it. which is kinda bad but i guess it is true, this is my future we are talkin about. so yep. oh yeah, he called me the other day. i was quite supprised and nocked off my rocker. i didnt expect him to call. we talked for a few hours and it was quite enjoyable. he is one that if i dont talk to him for a while and then we talk its like the friendship just takes back up we didnt miss anything. i suppose thats what best friends are for. awesome!
