Finding A Christmas Present!!!

So, this year, I have become really great friends with some boys and girls in my neighborhood. We hang out at least once a week and we usually do the same thing every time we hang out! We play murder and give back scratches :). The back scratches are a long story, made for another blog entry. But one of my friends that I'm going to keep a secret had an incident where we saw his underwear. Ha-ha, that’s another story too, but that's not one I'm going to share with you! But for Christmas we girls thought that it'd be funny if we got him some new underwear for Christmas! So, I'm going to tell you about the embarrassing moments we went through to get them to him.
First, we had to get my mom to take us to Wal-Mart to buy them. My mom by the way thinks that our idea was brilliant. Ha-ha. Once we were there we went to the men’s section for underclothing. We guessed the size he would wear by opening one of the packages and me trying them on. They were a little big but since he's a guy he should fit in them better. And if you know him then you would know that he is very muscular and small. After we determined what size he would be we got one of every kind that there were there. We wanted power rangers but they didn't have any. We also wanted hot pink, silky boxers but unfortunately they were out.
We were laughing so hard that we couldn't contain our feelings and we were soon jumping, screaming and laughing at the top of lungs. We didn't want any men to see us carrying around thirty bags of underwear so we got a cart, tossed them in, and got clothes to pile over them. We then went to a deserted aisle and laid them out so that we could decide which ones best fit him. He and my other friend are really close and we joke around that we are all married, so we are polygamists. Since we didn't have any rings to signify our relationship with each other, we got matching boxers to all have!
We were in the self-checkout line when we scanned one of the bags twice, we pressed the cancel an item button and to our dismay, it read: 'Please wait for assistance.' My friends and I freaked out and an overweight man came to our rescue. He laughed and we all turned bright red with embarrassment. After he left we just about died with laughter. That day couldn't get any funnier.Once we got back to my friends house we wrote all other the underwear saying, "LOVE WIFE 1 and LOVE WIFE 2!"
It really was the funniest thing ever. We called our "hubby" and told him that we were giving him his present so he had to be ready! After he opened it, he wasn't embarrassed he just laughed and said: "At least I don't have to ask Santa for them!" We laughed together and left. A pretty boring ending I know...but it was hilarious!

Picking Classes for 10th Grade :)

Just this past week I have had the wonderful opportunity to meet with one of our great counselors at our school to discuss my progress and my plans for my future. They call this meeting an SEOP. I first sat down, not wanting to hear what he had to say because I am not quite sure what I am going to do with my life after high school. I'm thinking about teaching and nursing and child care. They would all be great things, but they would take up a lot of studying and school work. My counselor gave me a sheet of paper; on it were all the classes available to be taken. I picked out all the required ones and now it is time to choose the other ones. I asked my mom what she thought I should take, and let me tell you, that was a bad idea. She went off about which classes I should not take because it would never help me in my future life. I sort of agree, but I want to take some fun classes in high school.
So, obviously, there are some pretty big decisions that I have to make in the next couple months. I need to choose classes that will not only help me in high school and college but classes that will help me when I am graduated from college and married and have a family. My mom wants me to take the stupid classes that are college’s classes right now. But I am not sure if I want to do that because I want to have fun in high school and not work hard. But if I want that, then that means I am lazy. And that is not a good thing at all!But then again, hard classes will help me get done with college faster so that I can be free sooner. Do I want to do that now? Am I ready for all that responsibility?
Someday, I want to be known for my knowledge, responsibility and funny personality. So maybe hard classes are what I need right now. Man, who knew that picking out classes would be so hard! I will have to do some really hard thinking for the next months so that I know exactly what I am to do. Do I sound smart? I think I might, but I am not meaning to, so sorry. Ha-ha.
Hopefully, I will know what I am to do and when I get to college it will all work out for me because I made the right choice in high school. Sometimes, I admit, I just do not want to be successful and I just want to get schooling over with. But, that is not a good choice! I know that I am to go to college and get a good education, so that is why I need to pick the right classes to take now

Trying to Pull and All Nighter

Have you ever tried to pull an all nighter? It's harder than you think. Especially when you have the two people who love to sleep in all their spare time. Usually I'm not like this but lately I have been. My best friend for life has been staying with me and we were planning to pull an all nighter. We had three main things to help us stay awake. They are: Do Batman in front of our friends house, go toilet papering, and going into the hot tub.
Doing batman is really fun and it is kind of a tradition for when my bestie stays with me. What we do is we get dressed in the darkest clothes we have. We do our hair and make-up all funky and then grab a big blanket. Since it is cold outside we wrap ourselves in the blankets and walk the half mile to his house. When we are there, we ring the doorbell and run back out to the street. Once he answers the door we pull up our blankets so it is like a cape and run around chanting, "Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na! BATMAN!" We do it a couple times and then just run back to my house.
Toilet papering. It is also known as T.P-ing. I do not like to use that slang because it just does not sound right. We were going to toilet paper our other friend Harry Potter. (That's his nickname because of an experience we had with him...but I do not think I should share that with you…sorry!) It is not that we dislike him because really, our lives would be so boring without him, but we were going to do that because Toilet Papering is fun! Even if it is illegal.
I have a hot tub and a swimming pool in my back yard so in the summer, my house is never boring. But now that it is winter we only have my hot tub. And it snowed all over the top of it so we could not clean it out yesterday. Pooy I know. I love getting in the hot tub because it gives you something to do and it keeps you awake...you cannot really fall asleep in a burning hot, hot tub now can you?
If you were wondering if we actually pulled the all nighter, the answer is no. We did not even make it passed one in the morning. Well, I did. I made it to four, but it is not fun staying up all night by yourself, so I fell asleep. But if we did not watch a movie we probably would have stayed awake. Maybe next time we try to pull an all nighter, I will make a list of everything we should not do. I really do want to pull an all nighter; it is just hard to do. Because you get so tried...someday I will do it. I’ll be happy that day! :)

Night full of Fun

So a few nights ago I had the opportunity to go hang out with some people from my neighborhood. I hate to admit this but I wasn't really looking forward to it. What I really wanted to do was go hang out with my bestie, who I haven't hung out with all weekend, but instead I went to hang out with the people in my neighborhood.I first got there and we ate some dinner, by the way I ate twenty five burritos and four chicken nuggets. But knowing me, you shouldn't be too surprised about how much I eat. I might be really skinny but I could eat everything we had in my house within a week, no joke.
My friend, let's call her Bettie, was so stoked that the guy she like was coming over. He was going to be there any minute and she was about to jump out of her skin.My other friend, let's call her Lizzie, was really excited for the guy she liked to come over. I felt a bit left out, knowing that I didn't like anybody that was coming, but I got over it and was excited for them. The guy that Bettie liked, let's call him Ginger, showed up and we all got into the hot tub. It was a bit awkward because of the way they act around each other, Lizzie and I were in one corner trying to entertain ourselves until the guy she liked, let's call him Hairy, came.
Hairy was going to be late because he had to meet with one of the church leaders in our neighborhood so we didn't stay in the hot tub long and we got out and ate hamburgers. (I know, I just ate but I'm a growing girl and I was hungry, as a matter of fact, I'm eating right now.) Lizzie and I went downstairs after eating and turned on the movie Superstar, if you haven't ever seen it, I recommend that you do because it is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen!
After that movie we put in Elf. If you haven't seen Elf then that is just sad. It's my favorite Christmas movie!As we watched Superstar and the first half of Elf, Ginger and Bettie held hands and cuddled. Lizzie and I almost gagging at the thought, laughing quietly we slowly starting falling asleep. There was about twenty minutes left of Elf when the doorbell rang and down ran Hairy. Hairy is the life of the party and after he arrived the fun began.
We finished Elf, not really paying attention to what was going on because we were laughing and joking too much.Hairy chanted these exact words, "Kiss her! Kiss her!” to Ginger and Bettie but knowing that they wouldn't do it, he gave up. Hairy acted himself and made us all laugh. He showed us how to fake kiss, and let me tell ya, that was probably the highlight of the whole night. Hairy knew that I danced and asked me to show him some cool moves.
Let me tell you something, that boy is like a board, he is not flexible at all. He may have an amazing six pack and a great body but he cannot, I repeat, cannot bend. For the rest of the night, we girls taught him something new that he could try, but he only ended up failing.
I thought that this night wouldn't be fun but it turns out, it was a blast! It was filled with embarrassing moments, scary moments, funny moments and last but not least just plain fun moments. I hope that everybody gets a chance to have a fun night like I did!

Visitor

I was reading a book when I looked up. There in the window I saw Travis. He was the most popular boy in school and everybody just adored him. It’s like he was a superstar or something. And for some reason, I wasn't surprised that he was standing outside my bedroom window tapping on the glass to get my attention. I should have been surprised because me, coming from the Jones family, is somebody who wouldn't be caught dead with someone that beautiful.His curly blond hair dangled in front of his emerald green eyes. Oh why did he have to be so perfect? I caught my breath and sighed when he waved me to come and meet him outside. Was this a joke? If I went outside was I going to be embarrassed for the rest of my life? I shut my book, not even marking what page I was on, and went out to the front room to let myself outside.
"Amber?" He came out from the dark and a warm smile came across his face. I took a moment letting this moment sink in.
"Travis?" His name smoothed over my tongue like hot melted butter on a fresh roll.
"I didn't know I was actually going to do this, but here it goes." He sighed and grabbed my wrist. "As you know Kate and I just broke up, and nobody knows why. I want you to hear this before it gets passed around the school, because once you tell somebody something it's like wildfire."
"Are you okay?" I muttered, still half amazed that he was on my front porch.
"Amber I broke up with her because I told her I wanted to see other people too. And that other people that I was talking about is you." My mouth fell open. "Greg said these exact words to me, 'The Jones' daughter is a fine young lady, are you sure you want to go messing around with her?' I wanted to punch him, because first of all, you're not fine, you're beautiful, and I wouldn't go messing around with you because I find you much too delicate for rough handling. I'm serious about you."
"Are you asking me out?" I was shocked more than anything.
"Yes, and I completely and totally understand if you say no, because I've been a jerk to you before."
"Travis before I answer I want you to know that I think that you are an amazingly good looking person, but I couldn't be caught dead in public with you. You're selfish and rude and obviously you have some problems. So, no I will not go out with you because I don't date jerks." I covered my mouth with my hand, had I really just said that to him?I pulled my hand from his tightening grip and marched inside to my safety. Who knew that boy's could be such losers.
I heard a barking close to my ears. I flinched and opened my eyes which were tightly shut. The clock read five o'clock in the morning. It'd been a nightmare, I had no worries. My brand new puppy wagged its tail and whimpered. It was time to let him out.
