Kyle's B-day party, Martha's Vinyard, and camp

I'm saving camp for last, because I'll be writing the longest about it. Tomorrow is my brother Kyle's 8th B-Day party( and because I am just sooooo talented) I'm hired as the decorator. Well, hired for free, although Kyle offered to pay me 12 bucks,but there was no way that I was going to take money from an 8-year-old! Even though I need some cash, I won't sink that low! Ok, I gotta stop talking about it... because I'm starting to regret not taking that money... I want to go see a movie!!! =D jk, jk.

Next week my family is going to Martha's Vinyard!! My Friend Kelcey(not the Kelcey I'm going to be talking about later)has some family down there who rent out houses, so we're renting one for a week. The people who we're renting the house from own two kayaks, so we get to use them!! WOO-HOO!! I'm sooooo excited, I'm totally fazzing out. I used the word fazz! =D

Camp Berea rocks. Period. It rocks. We all had soooo much fun. It was a superhero theme this year, so of course we had a supervillan, Mr.Bad Guy. Creative Berea staff huh?? =) Anyway, on the first or second night of camp we had a "villian hunt." All of the counselors dressed in black and hid around camp, and all of the campers had to find them. It was so much fun, and the team that I was on found Mr. Bad Guy!! That's a really big deal, trust me. We got sooo many points from finding him our team won the camp contests. Oh yeah, Mr.Bad Guy *coughAndycough* was never unmasked, so he could still be lurking somewhere... DUN DUN DUUUNNNN!!

Jodi (our speaker) was as hilarious as ever. If it weren't for her I never would have pictured ANY of the apostles saying "DUDE!" haha, it would take a while to explain.. Kelsey had some awesome messages in the morning, one which involved her duct taped to a chair, underwater in the lake, and her brother Zack ran (faster than I have ever seen someone run I think) down the beach and dove in to save her. It was basically an example about how we can't save ourselves, Jesus has to. It was really cool. Oh yeah, Zack can sing REALLY well too. haha, during the time when our camp swims across the lake (it's called the Black Band) canoes go across the lake with the campers. All of us who weren't taking the black band were watching the swimmers, then all of a sudden we see Zack, standing in his canoe, singing "I'll Be", and paddling it like a gondola. It was absolutely hilarious. Eventually all of the counselors who were in canoes and kayaks ended up getting tipped by Zack, but eventually Kelcey tipped him over too. GO KELSEY!

This year our cabin was Emerald 2, we had the best porch out of all the cabins. It was right on the water, and we pretty much spent all of our time at the cabin out there. Our bathroom was horrible though.. oh well, win some, lose some. One awesome thing that happened at camp, every cabin performed our memory verse for the week, so as promised, on the last night of camp all of the counselors jumped into the lake with their clothes on. Everyone was screaming their heads off. =)

I have some new fave books to add to the ever growing list!! They're 3 books in a series, they're called The Goose Girl, Enna Burning, and River Secrets. Those books are awesome, READ THEM!! One of the characters,Finn, is so much like Fang from Maximum Ride it's scary. Yeah, Tori and Ashlee READ THESE BOOKS! haha. One of the caracters, Razo, I really liked alot. He was absolutely hilarious, and most of the time he'd think or say something, and I'd want to yell "EXACTLY!!" I read the ending of the third book four times... it was just that good.=D

I figured you guys deserved a long post since I haven't given you one in a while.... but I wasn't planning to make it this long.......

Hey, sorry I don't have alot of time to write a post that this deserves, but I'm going to Camp Berea tomorrow!!! WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll post when I get back =D

Camp Berea, Ranger's Apprentice, and thunder storms

One more week, two words, Camp Berea.WOO-HOO!!!! I can't wait =D Berea, nuff said. I'm also wearing a superman shirt that I'm bringing to camp, so I'm happy right now. =)
Last night I wrote some stuff for the book that I'm writing with Sophie and Rachel, so that's good. As soon as I decide what part, I'll post a little of the book on here. Speaking of books, I just finished the third book in the Rangers Apprentice series. Yet ANOTHER one that leaves you hanging,ggrrr. The author of the books, John Flanagan, lives in Australia. The Third book of the series just come out here in America, but the other day I discovered that the FOURTH book in the series is already out in Australia! That's annoying! I NEED the fourth book, I'm wondering if I can order the fourth book online from Australia... I'll have to look into it. BTW, read the Ranger's Apprentice books people!!! Three words, Rangers are awesome.

I was thinking yesterday, we havn't gotten one REALLY good thunderstorm all summer. All we've had are some really weak ones without practically any thunder. =( I love thunderstorms

The other day me and my family went to this place called Castle in the Clouds. It's this ENORMOUS house built by this REALLY rich guy. Once I get our digital caamera to work, I'll write a post about just the house so I can post pictures. there's also a random one of flowers that I took...GASP! I'm turning into Tori! =D lol, I luv U Tori! I took over 50 pics, aren't you proud of me??=)

Sorry!, Castaway's of the Flying Dutchman, and a few random Lord of the Rings avatars

I am soooo sorry, I havn't posted in so long. Maybe I would more if you guys COMMENTED every one in a while. haha, lol.

I'm almost finished a really good book right now, it's called Castaway's of the Flying Dutchman. There are 2 more so thats good, because Ben rox my sox. :) (he and his dog are the castaway's of the Flying Dutchman, haha)

ok, I've been seeing ALOT of really good Lord of the Rings avatars lately, so here's a bunch of random ones that I like


I think this one of Legolaslooks really cool, its an awesome shot - They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard!!!


Nobody loves Gandalf's fireworks more than them, haha. I <3>Legolas: Lembas! [bites a corner] One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man![walks away] Merry: [to Pippin] How many did you eat? Pippin: ........Four.


Eomer: What business does an elf, man, and a dwarf have in the Ridder-Mark? Speak quickly. Gimli: Give me your name, horse-master, and I shall give you mine. Eomer: [dismounts] I would cut off your head, dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground. Legolas: [draws his bow and aims at arrow at Eomer, Legolas is not very happy right now..] You would die before your stroke fell! (You kind of have to watch this in the movie,it's just way too cool!

here's another one of Legolas, he deserves it :)


Nobody can deny that Eowyn rocks


ARAGORN!!!!!! One of my 2 favorite people in these movies (my other favorite has pointed ears =))


Aragorn definitely deserves another avatar, becuase he just rocks soooo much


OMG IT'S SAM!!!!!!! I <3 Sam. Sam rocks, period. yeah, I know what you're thinking, all these guys seems to "rock"... and that's because they do! =) enjoy my randomness out of desparation because I have no post material... =)

P.S.I had cool quotes for all these guys, and I had an avatar for Gimli, but my computer went freaky and ersased what I wrote...dang

A book...not MY book or anything..haha, MY book, haha thats funny........yeah...it's my book

hey Sophie, once I have 3 things in a post I'm going back to my 3 thing titles!!Back off missy!! ;)

OK, I saw Eric's blog the other day, and he posted that a couple of his friends are writing a book. Basically now I figure why shouldn't I tell?? I'm writing a book, well, me, Sophie, and Rachel are writing a book. I'm not sure how long it's going to be, so I'm not sure how far we are through it. lol. Anyway, it's a fantasy novel, and it's working title is Anasys. That will probably be its final title, but I'm just gonna say it's our working title for now. Here are some of our characters, try to work with me on my pronunciation thingies.

Symeria-(Sim-ear-ee-uh) :[if I have an alter ego it's this girl] freedom loving, slightly sarcastic, a bit like me except cooler, very daring, adventurous, note to Ashlee and Tori: there is definitely a little Max Ride in her. =) She's also an archer, does that rock or what?! =)

Anasys-(ann-uh-sis) : One cool dragon,yeah I said dragon, Symeria's best friend EVER,very wise, loving,not easily annoyed by Kirk(more on him later) ,almost as freedom loving as Symeria, very protective

Quinn-(sounds like it's spelled =) : he's an elf!! Elves are way too cool, he's an elven prince, that makes him even cooler. Kind, Protective, determined, independent, strong sense of justice and loyalty, another note to Tori and Ashlee: there is a tiny bit of Fang in this guy =) He's an expert swordsman, he's like an... elven...prince...pirate!!!!!! He's an elven prince pirate!!! haha,Face it, Quinn rocks

Kirk-(yet again,sounds like its spelled)-basically the book's main comic relief character (kind of the Pippin of my book <3,I love Pippin!!!) Very curious and always with a question(this drives Symeria crazy) takes expressions very literally,example, if someone said,"Go jump in a lake" Kirk would ask why they want him to jump in a lake, then ask them which one to jump in. haha, basically Symeria's little brother, very trusting

Zacaria-(Zack-aar-ee-uh) :Symeria's best human friend, doesn't like violence (she's gonna have to get over this eventually! haha) strong sensitivity towards others, can be adventurous, mostly cautious, she's eventually going to develop the ability of being able to throw knives, Come on, don't tell me that's not cool! lol

Raphael-(ra-fell)- Quinn's evil twin,yeah I said evil twin, very loyal to his father(yeah his father's evil too,) very dedicated to ruling a kingdom, cruel, merciless, basically the total opposite of Quinn.

Well these are my book characters, I'll try to put a portion of the book up here, but now I gotta get some sleep. =) I'm guessing that this post is gonna get a decent amount of comments...

My questions to the world

One of my favorite songs EVER,"I'm Still Here", says "I am a question to the world."
well, I have a few questions to ask the world back. Feel free to answer any of these yourselves, because the world and I need to know! =)

1.OK, in the [game] football the [ball] is called a football as well. That raises my next question. Since the sports rugby and football are kind of alike, and the ball is shaped the same, does that mean a rugby ball is called a Rugby??

2.What is Paris Hilton famous for?? All she's done is be a rich brat who went to jail. I think it's an issue when everythone knows who Paris Hilton is and not many people know who won the Nobel Prize. But seriously, WHO LIKES PARIS HILTON?!?!

3.What will happen if you try to boil a marshmallow?? strange, but I just thought of it and I want to know =)

4.Why do some people in England wear bowler hats?? I don't get it, I think they look strange on people, especially Prince William and Harry. I saw a pic of them wearing bowler hats earlier and almost started cracking up.

5.Why does hail bounce when it hits the ground?? I can honestly say, other than that you never see ice bounce. Belive me, I've droppped plenty of ice cubes.

6.Why was "Leave it to Beaver" so famous?? The amount of times that Beaver says,"Gee Wally" really bugs me.

7.Why does ANYONE need Vanilla chai spice smelling deodorant...? I saw it in Rite Aid and just stared for a second pondering this question.Yeeeeaaaaaaah, ...that is just plain freaky. lol, is it deodorant or a type of tea?!

8.Why can't the national currency be chocolate?? Caitlin ponders this question as we speak.I mean, its valuable and delicious. I think I know why, the melting might be an issue.=)

9.Why is there no movie or TV show production on the east coast? It's all out in California, it's crowded there enough as it is!! lol, and that basically makes it alot harder for us on the east coast to see ANY celebrities, unless they make a "Pirates of the Atlantic." hahaha,I seriously doubt it, and kinda hope that won't happen.lol =)

10.Why didn't they film Laura and Steve's wedding on Family Matters?! I mean seriously, the whole series led up to it, and it ends with them engaged, but they don't show the wedding!! Is that crazy or what?!

11.Why doesn't the Morton Salt girl realize that the container of salt is leaking?!

12.Read Eric's blog and you'll begin to ask the question that I'm going to refrain from outright writing down[go to his blog, it involves thought #5] Eric,what U wrote is making it's way across the internet, and everyone wants to know. haha, jk,jk =)

These are very random questions, but I think they deserve some answers. I would really like to see some of the answers you guys come up with...I'm also slightly scared to see them at the same time =) lol

I had an awesome post, but then it just got erased!!! it was a VERY long post too. That annoys me.
