Hello everyone how has your week been going??? Well as for mine i have been having an ok week except for yesterday when there was like a chemical explosion and we werent allowed outside in case of toxic fumes and lots of people were reaally freaked out but it wasnt that bad. but even that wasnt soo bad and i found out that my brother might not be coming home this weekend which would really make my mom upset and on my birthday no less.

if you ask me nothing good has been on tv but as for movies The Bourne Ultimatum was good but left a lot of questions open; and No Reservations was good but a chick flick; and as for promising movies The Last Legion and Stardust and The Nanny Diaries promise to be good.

well there isnt much left to report except i did have a conversation with this man at my moms school and i felt soo smart talking about World War II well i have to go and ill keep you updated

Hows your school

Hey my peoples sorry i havent been on in a while but i have been kind of busy. Its the first week back in school and i have hardly had any time to myself. I have chorus this year and i have French, biology and world history. Chorus is a lot harder than i thought it would be. But my classes are ok i guess. I got to see Josh yesterday he came by and visited us mere students. I had to skip practice today because my mother got sick. My parents are fighting and i'm fearing divorce but i don't think hey'd do tht they are to religious. Which is good hopefully its not that serious. My birthday is in just one week and i am actually kind of excited but i dont expect much. And Big Splash is coming and i hope ill get to go there to. . . . Have you guys ever gotten those really annoying phone calls begging you for money? I just got off the phone with one they are really annoying.Anyways what was i saying ooo yeah i got a job. or i hope i got a job im hoping to start working at this little store on Saturdays and maybe i can start bying some of my own stuff. well i got to go.

Back To School

Hey everyone tomorrow school officially starts and i now know where i'm going. I lucked out i get to go back to Colleton County High which is cool for me. I am not sure how my dad feels about it though. And Big Splash is coming up but i dont know if i will be able to go. I do hope so. And the play is in a little less than a month and i think it will be a great play i just dont want to do my solo. Its only 4 words but none the less. I am glad i got in this time. School is going to be pretty dull i bet but ill get over it. And by the way to all baby-sitters i seriously sympathise this whole week i have been baby-sitting the anti-christ he was terrible and i only got paid $50 for the whole week all day long soo yeah that sucked. And in less than 2 weeks it will be my birthday. Its going to be pretty low key and i dont expect a lot because we dont have a lot of money. But oh well i got to go and ill keep you guys updated.

Hey my peoples
I have been having a pretty good two weeks so far cause i had a friend come over to my house for a week and now im at her house. We also went to the zoo which was really fun and i sunk to my old habits and my daddy bought me a stuffed bear and i named him beatle after the greatest band ever. My friends parents are really very annoying and she knows im outting this in here just to clarify. And my grandmother is out of the hospital and she was with us until yesterday. And finally went home and i am soo proud of my mother she actually cleaned the kitty litter. And ooo yea for you music lovers out there you must check out FlyLeaf there are awesome and i recommend the song Cassie. Well i guess thts about all for now ill keep you updated.

I have had a very long two weeks. First my grandmother went into the hospital and then my aunt was caught in bed by her husband with my grandmothers boyfriend. So we have had a very stressful two weeks. And then i got my haircut the wrong way but other than the whole ospital thing my life has been pretty good. I found a wicked awesome sale on movies and i got 5 movies for $20. I thought that was pure awesome and i even got my mother to watch one with me. Which reminds me my mother and i have been getting along very well lately. I think the week she went off did us a lot of good. Well there really isn't much else to say. Umm we have bible school coming up and oh yea i went over to this guys house to watch movies but we ended up playing spoons instead, and if you dont know what spoons is its a very vioent card game. Its kinda like musical chairs.Say four people are playing you would set out 3 spoons and each person would get four cards and then you would pass out the cards until you got four of a kind. And the first person to get four of a kind grabs a spoon and when you see someone grab a spoon you grab one and the person who doesnt grab a spoon gets smacked in the hand with all the spoons. Well i have to go i'll keep you updated.

Hey everyone so my life is still pretty dull but not as depressing if tht makes sense. We went to the movies yesterday and saw Oceans 13 and Nancy Drew they were both ok. Im starting to wish i had gone to camp because theres a guy there who goes to my church but i really like him and hes not my normal type hes kinda that Corky cute i guess but he sweet nonetheless but i have a friend there whos keeping an eye on him and is going to tell me who he takes to the banquet. I know im pathetic. And next week is going to be like heaven my mom is going away for the week thank God. I think we need a break a huge one in fact. My rehearsals start in just two weeks and i guess im excited but i dont know. I dont have much else to say Oh yea one of m old favorite tv show Degrassi i just found out tht my favorite character died so ive been trying to find i site where i can downlaod it cuz it its not on YouTube by the way my fav character is JT its soo depressing, And i watched a documentary on the Titanic that says there was a huge design flaw and tht Bruce Ismay knew about it and fled the country once he got back. What a coward not only did he take a womans seat on the lifeboat but then he wouldnt even be a man and take the blame. I hate people like that. well i got to go ill keep you updated

Better Day

Today has been a better day then most. I got to sleep late and had pancakes for lunch. It's been a pretty relaxing day which is great. I even slept good last night i had my my headphonein so i fell asleep to KoRn, who knew a heavy metal group would be so relaxing. I talked to Josh yesterday he seems to be doing ok but sounds just as bored as i am but who am i to say. Anyways my friend Ashley knows i like Chris Angel so she sent me this email with a link attached and Criss Angel actually guessed my name and my phone number then he called me. It was pretty freaky, but it was cool to. I sent it to like 5 other people. It was hilarious. And then this guy Bill and his son Josh came over just to look for his umbrella but ended up talking for about an hour or more, but it was ok because Josh is pretty cool and we talked about movies and music so that was kinda cool. Well there isn't much else to say i'm sure my dad will be back soon to use the computer (hes preaching tomorrow) so until tomorrow i'll keep you updated

My New Place

Hey all you guys out there, sorry i haven't been able to post in a while but when we moved our internet got disconnected and it took two weeks to re-establish. And i must say there is absolutel nothing to do in this town and there are constantly people from the church over here to make sure we're ok and we have so many crappy brownies that i am going to be sick. I must say i am seriously looking forward to starting on the play. At least that will keep me distracted. And it has been really weird not talking to Josh. I haven't talked to him since school got out. I might call him soon i don't know. My brother is going to come over to visit soon and he'll be here for i believe 3 weeks which will be cool, or at least i hope it will. It has been so far a really crappy summer, i think i have depression or anger-management problems one, because it has been really hard to get along with anyone lately and i have just been incredibly lonely. I mean when a person smiles its depressing. And next week my cousin is going to be spending the weekend with us to get away from her drunk mother. And my mother is still always sick she tries to be the best she can by doing stuff with me but shes not a good actress and i can tell shes faking it. My dad has been the only stable thing lately but even he can only do so much. Since we've come here he has been pulling away more and more. Or maybe its the other way around? I dont know things are just soo screwed up i can't tell the difference. I know this all sounds totally corny but whatever. If it weren't for bands like KORN and Criss Angel i might scream. Because when i'm mad i just go in my room turn on there music as loud as it will possibly go and scream as long as i can take it. And when i am not screaming i am singing along with them. I can't wait to get out of this place. You would think living next to a church and having a dad as a pastor would be like living in Heaven but its more like a hell hole. I really like what Criss Angel says in his song Mindfreak, " There's no reality, just this world of illusion that keeps on taunting me." It makes a hell of a lot of sense. ANd on Criss Angel: Mindfreak season premiere what Criss did was amazing i wish i had the courage to do something like that. In case you didn't watch it he levitated over the Luxor Light in Las Vegas which is over 500 ft in the air and he dedicated the demonstration to his father. Well maybe one day i can do something to make my father proud but lets face it being a rockstar won't impress my father. Well enough of my depressing talk i think i filled you in enough for now. I'll keep you updated.

One More Day

Only one more day until we move, and only one more day left in school. I have one more exam today and then one tomorrow. The one left today i am not worried about, however i am extremely worried about the one tomorrow. We went to Ridgeland yesterday to drop off another load, a BIG load, might i add. And i hung some pictures on the walls. I have all my paintings on the walls, and about five posters on the walls. All i have left to put in my room is my bed and my tv. I am so ready to get this move over with, it seems like its been taking us forever.
Now on to the season finale of American Idol. First off among the guests, were Smokey Robinson, Gloria Knight, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Rueban Stoddard, Taylor Hicks, Gwen Stefani, Tony Bennett, and the top 12 of the season. They had the global Idols, making 5 or 6 people appear very stupid (im not even going to explain that one) BUt the worst part of the night was to hear all of those guests with the exception of Gloria Knight, Smokey, and Tony Bennet try and sing The Beatles or if you look at it technically The Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart's Club Band. The only person who even did an exceptional job of singing them was Green Day singing John Lennon's Working Class Heroes. Everyone else put the Beatles to shame. And how come no one knows who the Beatles are these days. No one seems to realize that The Beatles were the first band to start so many different things. There will never be another be another band like them. They started so many things and bands today strive to be them people today just don't realize that. Anyways i shouldn't dwell on it it's not my fault that people don't know real music.
And i sent in my camp application and hopefully Amber is going to otherwise i might be very mad. O yeah and note to self i need to call Josh unless he's reading this he needs to call me.
O yeah and no wonder our world is falling apart people are putting their reliance in a set of CARDS, Is this what we've come to???? Come on people we need to do something about this satanism lurking the streets of our nation it is just wrong that no one is trying to stop this.
Our world is sooo depressing.

Hey Peoples

Hey peoples how are your lives going??? Mine is actually going ok so far surprisingly. My room is almost gone now all thats left is my bed. And i had my audition yesterday. I think it went really well. I had a lot of fun to because i actually knew a lot of the people there this time. I won't know if i'm in or not until June 10. A lot of people tried out but they said all the older kids are getting parts. The play is called How To Eat Like A Child. And its just that. It is a play filled with lessons on how to be a child. It is really funny. But then at the end i got into yet another arguement with my mom.
I missed Heroes last night. But i was informed on what happened. And New York did not blow up thank god! but it also left you hanging on whether or not Peter and Nathan survived. And syler was killed by Hiro.
I watched another one of the movies on my list and i have now seen 33. It was called The Best Years of Our Lives. It was the story of 3 war veterans and how they go along after the war, and what had changed in their lives and how they pulled through. It was very good. I was impressed, ihave one more at the house to watch and then i can go get some more. Its called On The Waterfront. Its a mob movie starring Marlon Brando.
I talked to Amber yesterday and she sounds like shes doing better and she is supposed to be going to camp of course i am to but i have yetto send in my application. So i know i won't get my t-shirt but thats ok. O and i saw Nick yesterday he still claims i dropped the dresser. (inside joke) but basically we were doing the play Cinderella and we had to move the dresser onto the stage before they pulled the curtains and NICK dropped the dresser so it made this extremely loud nois that rang out all through the audience but he claims i dropped and i claimed he dropped it. I know i guess you had to be there. Well i gotta go i'll keep you updated i have to go study for my first exam and i have a presentation next period.

On The Road Again

Well you guys it has been a very hectic weekend. Friday we did go to the movies and just let me warn you do not go see Shrek the Third. They even tried to mix in the story of the legend of King Arthur and Merlin. IT SUCKED. But i did watch a great movie when i got back home. It had my favorite actor of all time in it, James Stewart. It twas The Philadelphia Story. Another classic movie, and why do so many people these days have problems with black and white films??? In some ways it makes them better, i mean we just don't make movies like we used to. There will never be another James Stewart or Alfred Hitchcock. Oh well.
Lets move on to Saturday. First we had to go pick up this really crappy table from this antique store. UGH! Then my father and i got into an arguement on where i would go to school next year and lets just say the discussion isn't over yet. Well after that we packed up like 20 more boxes then loaded them all into the truck. THEN me and my dad went to Ridgeland to go unload everything. Fortunately my room is almost finished all i have left to put in there is my bed and my chester drawers with my tv. O and on Sunday we had church of course and my mother got mad at me for some unknown reason. But its always like that. But church was ok then we unloaded moms car and went to lunch with some of the other church members. When we got home i unpacked my dresser then we took the dresser to the dump. Now by the time i get home all im going to have left in my room is my bed. But at least i only have one week left of school.
By the way for all those people out there who dont know who James Stewart is please go rent some movies he is a classic and one of the greatest actors to ever exsist.

Hey everyone. Well for the next week i no longer have any bookshelves or a desk they have been moved to Ridgeland. So my room is really starting to look very empty. Today is all the seniors last day, which sucks. I must say i am going to miss Josh, Charles, Brandon, Demetri', and several others. Even though yesterday Charles picked me up and spun me around i wanted to hit him so hard but he ran off. And i lucked out yesterday because God made one of my favorite things happen he made it rain. I love the rain me and Bean spun around for like ten minutes and then i ran slwoly on my way to the local library. Then it got even better. It thundered. Thunder and lighting is so incredible. Just to stand around and listen to it and watch it. It's beautiful. Well enough of that. When i was at the librar i rented 3 more movies on my list. I got ...
1. The Birth of a Nation (1915)
2. A Night At The Opera (193_)
3On the Waterfront
I have already watched the Birth of a Nation. And it was good but i didnt agree with everything it said or should i say didn't say. It was a silent movie and three hours long. But it made the KKK look like the good guys.
And today has been ok so far and i don't want to sound like a sap but i am going to miss Josh a lot. And i hope i can get Amber down here soon so she can see our new house and we can just catch up.
Well lets see o yea i added some videos to my blog that way you guys can see some videos about the movies on my fav movies list and i will add some other ones on there to. Well i hope you enjoythem. I have to go. I'll keep you updated.

Well everyone i would like to say my day is going easy so far but of course its not. We worked all 1st period which was fine because the work was easy. But then i had to go to Ms. Drawdy's class to sign up for an audition for her advanced chorus class next year. I don't like Ms. Drawdy that much but i really want to be in chorus next year, and she only has three spots available and there are like ten peolple auditioning. So basically i have to kick ass at that competition. And because i was in Ms. Drawdy's class i was late meeting Josh. So Josh accused me of walking to slow to go meet him even though he did the same thing earlier in the week. And now i have to memorize 41 lines by 3rd period for extra credit because in the process of packing and cleaning i completely forgot about it. I have to memorize a soliloquy from Romeo and Juliet. Like that's going to happen. And in 4th period i have a math test the last test of the year. My last chance other than the EOCT (end of course test) next Friday. Fortunately i am only like 1 point from passing and once she adds in my extra credit points. i should be passing. And if i can make a 70 on this test i will pull my grade up there to. O and i have an audition on Monday for the new play. The last one was a ton of fun to work on. I met some great people and had a blast working back stage.

Well last night Melinda got voted off of American Idol, which surprised me. I like Blake better but i was sure that she was going home. But now the Final two are Blake Lewis the beat box singer from Seatle and Jordin Sparks the spirited 17 yr. old from which town i can't remeber.

Well i have to go now and memorize those stupid lines. I'll keep you updated.

Getting Ready To Move

Hey everyone i packed my first box 2 days ago and i have since packed up all three of my book cases. I actually think that i am going to miss that little house. And its going to suck if i don't get to go back to my high school next year, but i think i will be able to; because my mom is going to work in the same place so i'll just ride with her. And i don't want to admit this but i think i really am going to miss Josh next year. He will supposedly be going off to college. And i found out something yesterday about Charles but i am not going to write it on this website because i know some people who read it that don't need to worry about it.

I found out the other day that this guy who i knew that went to Iraq. His humvee was bombed and he is on lifeline now. Which really makes me hope and pray even harder than before that my brother doesn't go over seas. I'll just have to pray about it really hard.

And i have finally finished the first part of my screenplay. It is going to be dived nito three parts.

The final episode ever of Gilmore Girls came on last night. It was a very good ending, but i do wish that Luke had propossed. And it made me sad to i have benn following that showw since the first time it came on.

And American Idol came on last night and Melinda sucked, Jordin did ok, AND BLAKE WAS AWESOME.

well now i have to go i will keep you updated

Well we have begun our movie to Ridgeland. And i have finally decided to live with that fact. At least there are 2 bathrooms. And i finally have curtains. We are supposed to be staying there on Wed. because i dont have school on Thursday and we figured we would go ahead and start bringing some stuff down. I have already gotten some stuff packed. And i guess i like this church ok. Everyone seems pretty nice. And i think Josh is trying to get me to miss him because he says he will be moving up north for college. Speaking of Joshes my brother is going to come and visit us in June but only for 21 days then it write on back to camp Legune. And i hope Amber will be able to come down and see our new house i havent seen her in a while and i wish i could. Well i have to go so ill talk to you later

Hello my peoples

hey everyone i dont believe i have posted in a while but its been very hectic lately. First last weekend i was off on a youth leadership seminar in charlette.It was incredible to the best seminar i think i have ever been to. And daddy got a job at another church. We are once again the pastor's family, but that also means we will be moving again which sucks. I hope that i will be able to go to the same school though. And my mother has been sick again as usual and the other day she fainted and made the whole house shake when she fell. It would have scared most kids to ssee their mother lying on the floor not moving but this is surprisingly nothing new.It took me about 20 minutes to wake her up then i had to take her to the couch. Fun, Fun, Fun. Lets see what else have i been diong o yea we are now doing Romeo and Julliet in my english class which will be really easy seeing as how i have already read the book. O and i gave Josh a book that tells the stories of people who have given their lives for Christ, but he made fun of it. I do wish he would at least consider the idea of Christianity im not saying im gonna push it on him but i do wish he would look at the idea of it and not just write it off.

But anyways i decided to keep watching American Idol and im glad i did cause Sanjaya is gone and their are only four people left Jordin, Lakisha, Melinda and, Blake. Im pulling for Blake because i think hes the best but i think its going to be between Blake and Melinda

And i watched Gilmore Girls to and i am so excited Logan is going to ask Rory to marry him yea yea i am so happy about that. He might have a few bad moments but he is one of the better boyfriends shes had. And i think Lorelia and Luke are going to get back together cause they are talking again and he saw her singing 'I Will Always Love You' and Zac is about to go on tour but Lane decided to stay home with the kids. So i guess we'll find out whether or not Rory and Logan are going to get married tuesday.

o and i have decided to ask our new church if they'll let me get a group together and redo the old building no one uses and make it into a youth center so wish me luck on that one

well i have to go ill keep you updated.

Hello

Hey everyone well yesterday i somehow got invloved in a bet with Josh. not sure how tht happened but ok See yesterday Josh told Amber something and if dont find out what it was then i have to kiss Josh. but if i do find out i get a movie. Josh somehow managed to get me involved in this i swear hes tricky and it gets on your nerves sometimes especially when you get up and realize you have to win a bet. but Amber loves me more than him so shell tell me or at least i hope she will. otherwise i might have to be very mad at her. but i dont know i guess ill figure it out but i dnt know. anyways i missed american idol last night except for the last 2 peforemances which was Lakisha and Haylee i thought haylee was good but i didnt like lakisha this week but she has a good voice so shell pull through.
