Introverted

I've lately realized that I haven't talked about anything seriously in a while. Truth be told, I get really awkward around serious stuff. 
I can never ever portray my feelings in the way that I feel them.  I also have the hardest time saying what I mean. I could be thinking the of the most eloquent, and the best response to a question, but when I open my mouth, blubber comes out. Literally. I'm pretty sure that I say the word blubber a few times. On top of that, I feel like I'm an awful communicator. If I mean one thing, I say something else. Nothing ever comes out how I want it to. Ever. 


This past summer I went on a 2-month mission trip to Panama. At the beginning of the trip, every time we went out to do evangelism I would semi-freak out, because I knew that whenever I wanted to give a reason for the hope that I had, nothing would come out right. But thank God for his Grace, Mercy, and Unconditional Love. 


"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
   before you were born I set you apart;
   I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
 6 “Alas, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”
 7 But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD.
 9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. ~Jeremiah 1: 5-10

The other day I watching America's Next Top Model cycle 17.



While I was indulging this  guilty pleasure of mine, my sister Candace comes in. 







                                                      (Candace is also a model. click here. But only when you're finished reading this of course)


The show had reached a climax and during one of the girls interviews, Candace casually says, "I was just in a runway show with that girl. What season is this?" 
"This is the current season." I say back to her.
"Aw, well then I guess you now know who gets eliminated." She then walks away laughing. Gee wiz, thanks for ruining the show for me.


I dare say that having a sister who's a model is pretty cool. Whenever we see or get a new magazine containing her we proceed to jump up and down in excitement.  


But still, I HATE it when people spoil tv/movies for me. HATE IT!!!!!  My friend Jessica enjoyed killing the suspense for me on a daily basis. I would always talk to her about my un finished Little House on the Prairie episodes with a great amount of expectation and she would always tell me how it ended even through my protests. But then of course I would proceed to kill her with my heated words and mean faces. So, if you ever spoil a tv show or movie for me, you better duck and hide. :)
Here are some more pictures of candace....just because:





and yes, I do watch and thoroughly enjoy little house on the prairie

My View on High School.....sorta

School is cool, school is the bomb, school I love just like my Mom...............
^That is a song that me and my siblings wrote while we were doing our chores and getting ready for school. 


Well I have no idea what this blog post is going to be about.....sooo......




This weekend I went to my friends carnival at her school. West Minster Christian Academy is a $70 million school. They have 2 practice soccer fields,  8 tennis courts, a softball field, baseball field, a soccer field that they use for games, a football field, a huge pool, practice gyms, basketball courts for middle school and high school....... and the list goes on. I must say that this was my first time being in such a legit school. I was thoroughly  excited, but I must say that I was quite disappointed when the cafeteria didn't resemble that of High School Musical. 


I think that its safe to say that everything I know about high school comes from Disney channel and Degrassi. I average the similarities between the two sources and I have the perfect High School. Complete with baby mama drama, entertaining musical sequences, happy endings, he said she said drama and the rest.


My all time favorite Degrassi: The next generation characters are as follows:


Spinner (after he shot jimmy)
Craig (before he went crazy)
Ellie (just because she was awesome)
Sean (he was swheet)


I'm sure you'll notice that all of these characters are quite old and are no longer on the show. The show has obviously overstayed its welcome by like 5 seasons. Tv producers never know when or how to end stuff! Well I have an idea.
Some disturbed kid can  burn the school down with everyone inside except for Archie "snake" Simpson who is the only original cast member left standing.
Boom. End of Story.

Food for thought......or making

Well i have no idea what my blog should be about.....hmm

Well recently my mother and father told me that they can not give me away in holy matrimony until I know how to cook.

Well me and cooking have a long history. Back in the day, I used to master this giant with the ease of greased lightning. I held it under my thumb and gained the  advantage, it was a breeze. But now in the latter years of this survival game, I have begun to fall into fourth place, my father, mother, and little brother ahead of me. After failing time and time again i began to give up hope of ever finding peace, or food in this case. My lack of culinary expertise has gotten so bad that i have in fact tried to make noodles and literally turned them into mashed potatoes. That was an experience.
But I am ecstatic to say that last night, I successfully made dinner. By myself. Without help. And I got compliments on it.

YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!! JAI HO!! BOOYAH!!!!!! 

I dare say that I am extremely excited about that. Mission accomplished.....now all I need is a husband. Any takers?
