Mexico Elbow.

My dad hurt his elbow in Mexico. He was sawing, and carrying heavy things, and mixing cement and ever since we got back his elbow has been hurting.
I think he's getting old. I don't like that at all. My dad isn't supposed to get old until I move out.
Greg Pense is going to usher this Sunday. That lady at my church would know that if she checked her email every once in a while.

My Little Sister

She just got home! And she is making a lot of noise. And now my dad is too.
One time I went ice skating and this girl I was with fell and someone skated over her fingers.
The skates sliced right through herfingers. It was disgusting. And sad. And it looked very painful.
I haven't been ice skating since.

Red

There is a red marker sitting in front of me. I don't like it. It doesn't work very well.

"Murder She Wrote!" My grandma loves that show! She makes me watch it when I come over. We also watch "Jeopardy" and...... what ever else she wants to watch. I love my grandma, but I do not love her taste in TV shows.

June 14th

Bruce was the shark in "Finding Nemo." He is also my granddad. And my cousin. He is graduating on Sunday from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He will be 24 on the 20th.

So this lady from my church called and left a message for my dad about how we were supposed to usher but we're going to be out of town and she called another guy in the church to usher but he says he's suppoosed to be out of town and what should she do? She doesn't know how to usher! I don't know what my dad is supposed to do about it. I think she can figure it out. It is one of the easiest responsibilities you could ever have.

Clean Your Room!

My room is very messy now-a-days.
I haven't cleaned it in two months. It's crazy! I'm going to clean it next Monday. I hate it when I don't clean my room! And the worst part is that it is my own fault. Oh, well. I have a lot of cleaning to do.

She's Mine!

I don'tknow what I am saying anymore.
My little sis doesn't want to go to football camp, but she does want to to flag football again.
Oh dear.
When she first started out, she didn't even pay attention to the game she was in. When She wasn't in, she would just sit on the sidelines and pick at the grass. She has changed now.

You

You have been rubbed completely shiny.
Did you know that? I certainly did.
If I could figure out a way to stick my tongue out at you with out making an annoying computer face thing, I would. I feeling like acting like a 5 year old today.

Oh, Snarf

"Welcome to Iceland
There is no sunlight
You are on fire
A demon eats your face
Come to Iceland
Give us your eyes!"

I loved SNL's protrayal of Bjork. Although i love her, she is a bit cracked.

Oh oh oh.

Oh! Guess what!
Nothing.
I am running out of things to say.
Oh, snarf.
Iceland makes most of it's money through fishing, dragons, and screaming.

So's You're Mother Trebek.

My dad is always thinking aout nothing.
Except when he is thinking about coupons and reminding us that we have one day left of school, as if we weren't already obsessed with that fact.

Silver and Gold

Fragments from flooded trophy rooms. But really, I want to go work on that project and he is getting in my way. I-O-I-o-S-s-B.
Nonsense words!
Hoda Kotb. That's a name, but crazy Kathie Lee thinks it's a nonsense word.
She's nuts. Kathie Lee, I mean.
Hoda Kotb seems pretty normal.

Dream

Of the places that we've been, Wonderland was my favorite.
Even though my little finger is still healing.
That's enough.
Exept for the part whwere I still had important things to say, and you aren't a part of this conversation, and I wasn't talking to you, and are you leaving yet? Because it seems like you should.

Satellites

"These Satellites don't care for subtle moves
As we push through knee-high waste seafood"

You are either a maze or a myth, but either way I officially am against that cause. Psshhh!
Like I'd ever commit to a crazy woman like that!

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I think that by the time I actually am able to get the paint off me hands, there'll be no hands left!
Really, though, it hurts! It's like I am scrubbing all my skin off! That's gross, but that's what it feels like!
"Fade back into the wall paper
And think about what you've done to her"

Come on Youth!

"Don't give in, like the very last bowling pin.
Do you love to regret
Or forgive and forget?
If you're gonna forgive at all, cold is comfort, and comfort is cold."

Thanks, Jimmy.

Obama came on the Colbert Report via video and ordered a U.S. general to shave Colbert's head.
He also made fun of his own ears!
McCain had a video for them and it was not as entertaining, or interesting.
I like bell peppers. They are probably ythe best vegetable known to man.
Actually, they are for sure.

Spray Paint

It never comes off! I need to use acetone to get it off my hands, and I accidentally got some on the front walk to my house, and I am having the worst time trying to clean it up.
Oh, now the dog is going to go crazy.

Pretty Eyes

She has very pretty eyes. Yes you are wearing pajamas.
Greg Proops from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" is on a children's show.
Not only was he the voice of Bob the Builder, but he is now on that Nickelodeon show about that girl that is the VP of some magazine.

NOW!

It's 5:30 pm. What to do?
How about catch up on my blogs!
Yay! Sounds good. So, that girl is not the nicest thing in the world.
CODE YELLOW! Conference room! NOW!

Global Warming

I think Deshanique and I were just major contributors to global warming.
We just used almost an entire can of green spray paint on something for Mr. Thompson.
And by "green" I don't mean "let's save the world from destruction that we have only ourselveas to blame for," I mean the color. Whoops.

Background Dancers

The background dancers in The Nutty Professor dance awkwardly. I can't imagine a time when dancing like that would be socially acceptable. I was alive during this time, but it doesn't make their dancing any less ridiculously.

Clint Eastwood

My mommy says that he is going to die soon. She didn't mean it a mean way, but he's old, he just turned 79. He's getting up there. My mom likes Clint Eastwood, she'll be sad when he dies, and so will I. I should stop talking about this now, I'll jinx his life. That would be very bad. I don't want to be responsible for anyone's death.

Eddie Murphy Gave Me That Watch!

I love this movie. The Nutty Professor. It's hilarious!
I love the dinner scene where the Dad starts farting and then the kid starts farting and before that the Grandma was yelling at the dad telling him that if he tried to kill her he'd be limping away. Its sooooo funny.

Colbert

That one guy that he interviewed punched him in the face! Well, not really, it was fake, but man, was it funny. I saw this SNL digital short called "People Getting Punched." I liked it. Svetlana! John Madden is co-hosting a bocce ball tournament. Cable cars could soon have space available for advertisments! That's all, goodnight.

Comment Moderation

Two high school students from Gunn High School in Palo Alto committed suicide by stepping in front of a train, on the same stretch of tracks within four weeks. What are they putting in the water? The news is so depressing. Old man died. Kid died. Cal Train is cutting back on stations. Peas are bad..... YAY! Just playing, they are fine now. See? Depressing. Hahaha "Let me show this live picture of nothing happening, just like we always do on the weather."

Rain in June!

Please! I want rain in June! I love the rain so much. I love the sun too. I love going and sitting on my friends roof in the summertime when its sunny and warm and we can just fall alseep. We don't have to worry about everything else, until we wake up, and then her dad has probably come home and wants us to leave or take out the trash.

Oh, Fun!

I've said that I don't have a reason before, it means that I don't have a reason. We were just playing around. Stop making this complicated. Sweatshirt schmeatshirt. I should improve my reading level. Ooooh, I see. You realize how bad that sounds. You hurt me. Wah, wah. Febreze is a major contributor to global warming so you should be the one getting yelled at right now.But you won't be. Because you are ----- King of all conversation twisters. Now you're going to let Gabbie go and yell at me for the amount of blogs I am doing tonight. I don;t need a bio, Chica. He's not the problem.

I am a Rocket Ship

That's not funny! Blah blah blah. SO you have nothing to say for yourself. No. Exactly. Exactly what? That doesn't mean anything. Maybe in crazy trip land where you seem to always be, but not here. Enjoying your summer? Oh, yes. Sorry. Click! Squeak! Flip, flop. I think that's where the name comes from. Jangle. Ding dong! Matt's here. Leaving with Alex. Bah-bye. NO one's talking right now. Gabbie, come here. Why aren't you done with the kitchen yet?

Michelle

My friend Michelle is going to Ethiopia this summer on a missions trip. I am very proud of her. SH ewent with us to Mexico and was on my work crew for the house. I really hope she can go on Youthworks. I like her, and I like how she works. This will be fun.

Cody

I love my doggy. He's so cute. He's nicer than a bird, or a cat, or a fish, or a rabbit. I had a pet rat once. His name was Lightning. He bit me. I also had a pet snake, and his name was slither. I cried when we found him dead. It was awful. Haha, he was able to somewhat "climb" out of his thingy that he was in, so we had to keep clips on the lid, because he could lift the lid up, move it, and slither his way out of his cage. My little sister loved to hold our snake (we all did), and she never remembered to put the clips on so we would find him either in the kitchen, slithering around on the floor(we kept him near the kitchen before we got my dog), or on my bathroom floor (near where we kept him after we got my dog, because my dog would have attacked him if he was near him). It scared the crap out of my mama.

I don't like it when I have to choose between agreeing with my friends, or my friends' parents. Like, I love my friends, and sometimes I disagree with them, but some of them have the kind of parents that you need them to like you or all the sudden you aren't friends any more. I don't like it!

Part Six

Well, this is part six, and I am tired of continuing this, but I made a commitment and it shall go on! Wednesday was cold as well, but still warmer than Tuesday. We used sun showers, which are essentially plastic bags you fill with water that have black on one side, and you stick them in the sun and they are supposed to get warm, but they don't really. And our shower enclosure had no roof so it had wind running through it while we took showers. It was SO cold. On Tuesday we had all the walls up on the house, and the roof, and we had the tar paper up on Wednesday, and the chicken wire. On the last day of work, Thursday, we mixed and put the stucco on the house. It was hard to do, but the good part was that we got a two and a half hour break while the first layer dried. We talked to the hiome owner (she was very forgiving of our bad Spanish - or mine, at least), we bought things from vendors (we promised them we would buy things on Thursday, they came around every day trying to sell things). It was good. The second layer of stucco was much easier to put on.

FIVE!

Tuesday was freezing! I just wanted to get back and sit near a fired and sleep. I sawed more on Tuesday. A lot more. Oh! what I forgot to mention was the fact that we have 10 hour days! Yay! We get to our worksite before eight and we don't leave until six or later. And I'm not even sure if I get credit for all ten hours of the four days.

Deshanique's Middle Name (Part Four)

So, after we set up camp in Mexico (which took forever by the way, camp for 62 people takes a long time), we had wrok crew meetings, dinner, a camp fire, and went to bed. The next morning we got up at six to get ready, make our lunches, and have breakfast to get out of there by 7:30. It took about 20 minutes to get to our worksite, so we were there before 8:00 in the morning. On Monday, the foundatiuon for our house was laid and we started building walls. It was hot and sunny that day; I got a sunburn on my scalp. I spent the almost the wholen day sawing 22 1/2 inch fireblocks for the walls, and my arm was hella tired by the end of the day. But for part of the day I also mixed cement. Mind you, we had no power tools or cement mixers, so the cement job was tiring. Good workout for your legs, if you do it right.

But I Play Football!

I dedicated this blog to Deshanique. She is the go after my bon. She is the dance floor on which I get down. She is the woman that has a hilarious picture in Castaneda's (Sp?) class on page 43 of the yearbook... check it out (and De loves parentheses). She made me laugh so hard today, and the laughs are still going on. I love her.
