Baker or Bust? Hardly...

So me, my brother, and my dad went up to Mt. Baker to ski today. It was pitiful. The snow up on chair five was crunchy and icy. I guess three was alright. seven was fine, but everything else was a total failure. We were supposed to stay all day, but after running the Sneaky Pete three times and the Halfpipe four times, we bailed. Two miles away from the ski area, there was no snow in site. The upside is that on the way back, we stopped at Maple Fuels and got some ice cream. I got a single scoop of Fudge Tracks in a waffle cone!

After we came home, we sat down at the couch and watched Saw VI (six) and my mom-who just came back from a bible retreat shinding- went to the gym so she didn't have to hear the death screams, swearing or see the eternal bloodbath. Get this- the box actually said:

Unrated
The motion picture previously was released in a version rated R for SEQUENCES OF GRISLY , BLOODY VIOLENCE , TORTURE AND LANGUAGE. This unrated version contains material different from the original R-rated version. 

What was funny, though, was that the grisly, bloody violence, torture and language was totally true. The people who wrote the rating were trying to be serious but ended up sounding cheesy!

Hardcore stuff...

Tired... And Going to see Holmes!

Well, last night, me and my cousin stayed up late. :P So tired.... we ate tons and tons and tons of sugar thanks to my mother's wonderful brownies. They had peanuts and chopped Rolos on top. Yum!

I am going with my brother, his GF, and My dad to see Holmes, the new movie based on Sherlock Holmes. We probably will eat some popcorn. and candy.

The semester is over! I have a new Elective which is Tech. Art was more fun. but my teacher talked to me and I have a B+ in math. But i re-did some tests, so that should bring up the grade!!

got to go!

Empty

So Today was alright. One of my Best Friends, Josh, wasn't here. I survived, but it was pretty lame without him. I hung with my other friends, so all was fine. But I don't know what it is. I can't put my finger on it, but sometimes, I just feel.... Empty inside. Kind of like something is missing? What should I do?

Homemade pizza tonight! And afterwards me, mom, and my brother are going to watch Gilmore Girls and eat Chocolate-chip cookie ice-cream sandwiches. Yummy!

I hope you all had a fabulous day today!

Encouragement in Tough Times

okay, so here's the Snitch. I've been feeling kinda down and out lately, and I don't know about you, but that's really bringing me to a stopping point in my life. So if any of you are in a struggle, you know, it's hard to get out of bed in the morning, I've got some encouraging words to share!

"Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action."

-Benjamin Disraeli

"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."

-Abraham Lincoln

"No matter how much you think you suffer, how much you think you sacrifice, there are thousands of others who have suffered more, given more."

-Willie Schaeffler

"Success is never final; failure is never fatal."

-Joe Paterno

so take those words and use them to boost your self-confidence and overall emotion. It helps...

School is Blah

Going, Going, going to school.... Blah blah blah divided by blah blah blah times blah blah blah equals blah blah blah squared....

The only good subjects are writing and art....

My First Post!

So here I am, sitting at my sleek new iMac, typing my very first blog post. There can't be anything else I'd rather be doing right now. I'm supposed to be watching a movie with the Fam, but my usual method is repeatedly saying, "I'm coming." Over and over until finally I get out there and sit down and start watching something or other, which by then, I'm not even thinking about what I'm watching, because my mind is somewhere else completely.

But I feel like I've got the whole world at my finger tips. There is nothing for me to worry about, I'm safe at home, eating my brother's Girlfriend's "will you go to TOLO with me?" cake that she made with her own hands. And I'm fine. Not bleeding or anything, Not exactly living the dream, but right in the center. I am safe...

Toodles!
