A True Friend Is One Who Can Make You Laugh So Hard You Pee A Little...

...OK, it may sound a tiny bit gross, but it's TRUE! Today is my best friend and my anniversary! We have been besties for six years, three months, and twenty-two days! How have we stuck together for so long? And what amazes me the most is that even though after she found out I was missing half of my brain she still stuck around. Does she something in me...or is she just desperate? Just kidding Candace, you're the absolute BEST! That's why we're besties, I'm the best and your the ies. Right? You've been the one that has always been there for me. You're the only one that has ever seen me cry, you are the only one that I ever told, about me having a crush on that dragon geek a year or so ago. It makes me laugh to think of it. I saw him today and it reminded me of the times we would lock ourselves in the bathroom so I could gush about him. I've changed so much. But your still here and I thank God everyday for that. I never could lose you because your my bestest friend.

Even though I wasn't there for you today I want you to know that you're special, crazy, wild, loud, brave, obnoxious, and you kick drama's bodonkedonk! Go Canadace! I hope you're still around when I walk down the aisle with you behind me, get fat because I'm pregnant with my tenth kid, and turn 97. I love you, don't let anyone else let you think otherwise.

Sincerely,
~Your Bestie

Going 'Green'

The eight easy steps to going green:

1. Don't use diapers, that makes ladfields. Have you ever smelled a landfield? It is not pretty!


2. Stop taking 15 minute showers and reform to the luxury of 3 minute cold showers. By using cold water you are saving the hot water for other people. Also you are using 5 times less of the amount of water you were using when you took 15 minute showers regularly. Sure you might not get all the conditioner washed out or have time to soap but who cares? We can all smell bad together while we save the environment!


3. PLEASE do not chuck diapers, ciggies, empty or full beer bottles, used women's personal hygiene, etc. out of your car or truck window when you are driving. Drunk or smoke inhaling plants and animals are NOT happy animals and plants.


4. If you want to save the World do not stick your already chewed gum on other people's cars, the bottom of desks, pavement, etc. Do you know how many 100 dollar shoes are ruined a day because they step in your sticky mess? Also many numbers of animals can become stuck in chewed gum. And we need all the animals we can get.


5. Go vegetarian! Not only do you lose a LOT of weight and begin to understand and appreciate a good salad you save over a thousand chickens, twenty-three lambs, eighteen pigs, and four cows (that's how much meat an average person consumes in their lifetime). Thinks of the lives you would be saving! Also as a bonus the more animals there are that means the more fertilizer there is for the plants.


6. Put pebbles in your toilet. I don't know why you should do this and what it helps but I know it helps SOMETHING! So do it, even though it sounds really weird.


7. Only flush once! That's right, only flush your toilet once a day. The average person uses the bathroom 8 to 9 times a day. That's 40 to 45 gallons of water wasted! Think of all the water you will be saving by putting up with the stink and only flushing at the end of the day. Yeah it's gross, but your saving water so that your great great great grandkids will have potty water.


8. Ditch the car, motorcycle, moped, truck, bus, or whatever kind of vehicle you own (unless it's one of those new SUV's). Gas is NOT good for the air thus not good for the environment, plants, water, animals, people, etc. Walk whenever you can, ride your bike, or carpool. There's so many options out there. Pick one and stick with it while we save the WORLD together!

I hope my environment friendly list helps you. Maybe if we're in it together we can make a difference! Now wouldn't that be cool?

My Star Wars Experience

Last night my Dad, three other kids, and I ran through furious rain to pack ourselves away in his car so we could go watch the new Star Wars film on the big screen.
After the commercials had blared their message and we had spillled our large tubs of uttery popcorn several times the lights faded and the movie we had come to see began.
It was your typical movie magic experience with comfy but scratchy blue seats beneath you, large speakers surrounding you - belching out their 'noise', and the smell of Coke everywhere. Until, He came.

About halfway through the film who should walk into the room but Darth Vader. Well, it was actually an employee dressed up. You know, to add to the experience. It was pretty cool until the girl I was sitting next to whispered in my ear, "I've never seen a potbelly Sith!" also the little boy behind my seat jumped off of his own chair and hid behind mine while he whined, "I'm scared of Darth Vader Daddy!"
What can I say to that?

Candle Drama

Okay, this is so my family at candlelight dinners (except I don't have red hair). When there's candles for dinner you know there will not be a silent peaceful moment through the whole meal until the battle is won about who get to blow them out and they are extinguished. My brothers and sisters and I can fight over anything if you give us a chance. We're so bad.

Flashback 1# (Please Talk Me Out Of This!)!

This Sunday and Saturday I tackled the book 'No One Cares What You Had For Lunch' and it was a complete inspiration! Honestly, who does care about what people had for lunch? Or how people say for their interests:

Reading, listening to music, blogging...etc.

Yeah well, so does everyone! So I decided to go all out and do something that I'm sure no one else has done here on this website. Once a week I will post an entry withdrawn from I very secret Diary. I only pray that no one I know will read them (that would be MAJOR embarrassing!). Alright, here comes the first one:

Dear Diary. Today is November 7th, 2006. [I was 11 when I wrote this]
I am so glad that nobody has read you, ever! If someone did, I would runaway and become a gypsy! And I would never come back! But thank goodness that I shall not have to do that for awhile, at least. You do understand that if anybody read this journal besides me, I do believe the world would end! If anybody read this journal I am sure that I would die! Right then and there!

Drastic, isn't it? Have to go, I think I here someone in the passageway.
As you can see, even back then I was quite ther Drama Queen. But, I suppose I must pack my bags now and runaway for that diary entry is available for thousands of people to read! Wow, what was I thinking? Please talk me out of this mad plan before next week. Please.

Sincerely from a Drama Queen,

My Timeline

If you're anything like me you like to know everything about people. So here's a timeline of my entire life up to here:

• Year 1: I just made my loud and grand debut into the World. Back then I was just a ball of legs, one Alfalfa curl, two enormous green eyes, tiny button nose, and very grabby hands. Oh yeah, and one very big mouth!
• Year 2: Growing everyday in everyway (except heightwise, I was just a tad short)
• Year 3: I perfected my skills at being the most obnoxious girl alive. Also I began to realize at that age that I had a very good arm at throwing rocks at boys. Yes, that was a talent that I mastered when I was quite young.
• Year 4: We had just moved houses and churches. The age four was a year in which I had to adjust to many things.
• Year 5: I began to settle down. I was finally used to my new life in the country and I had started to embrace the change. I also discovered how shiny money was (I was quite your Sylus Marner!).
• Year 6: I met my bff that year. So far we've been best friends for seven years, three months, one week, and six days. Yes, I have been counting. I could also probably figure how many minutes, hours etc. too if I had enough time, but I don't so this will do.
• Year 7: I met my best guy friend that Fall through Homeschool Group. It was also my very first romance. What a big step for me, I was growing up.
• Year 8: Was filled with nail polish, posters, pink clothes, giggles, and secrets. I was rather a Ms. Popularity at 8. I'm ashamed of it now, but back then I pretty much dominated the Pop scene. I wasn't mean, but I definitely WAS annoying!
• Year 9: Was a struggle for me. I gave up my popularity crowd for my bff and was much happier. Everyone still knew me, but I wasn't up there calling all the shots and being followed by a stream of paparazzi. 9 was yet another big milestone in my short life. I started to see what really mattered and got my act together to get rededicated to God. I also started wearing a bra! Definitely a BIG deal:)
• Year 10: I entered the tweenage stage and got my first pimple, on my birthday! What a great gift. At 10 I was still very boy crazy, but thankfully was about to get over that phase. At 10 I thought I was going to be future Mrs. Orlando Bloom so my bathroom door was covered with ripped out magazine pictures of my future husband - much to the annoyance of my older sister (who I shared a room with!)
• Year 11: Was a bit rocky for my family because we had to cope with the sudden miscarriage of a baby. After the miscarriage my Mom was not allowed to try to have kids again for fear of death in labor. But we managed, life went on and I continued to grow.
• Year 12: Has so far been the absolute best! At the beginning it was a little hard. Both of my step-grandfathers died in the span of one month and my entire family was plagued with lice. We found out that the bugs were living in our hair the day before my birthday! Whoop-dee-doo. Year 12 was a blossoming year for me and there were a few confusing patches. I had to get used to what was happening inside of me. But besides that my 12th year was filled with romance, mission trips, chickenpox, and absolute fun! It was my God year.
• Year 13: I can't say much yet about this year since it just started 5 days ago. All I can do is pray that it will be just as wonderful as all the rest, and then some!

Thank you for taking the time to watch me grow from a wailing infant just a few minutes old to a 5'ft. brunette, green-eyed, newly teenager girl. I hope this timeline helps you begin to understand me. But my own family doesn't even know me all that well and they've had to put up with me for 13 years, 5 days, 5 hours, and 42 minutes! I guess my Cell leader is right when she says it takes a lifetime to truly know someone. Well, I got a long way to go if I ever want to know anyone on here decently! So I'll quit typing so I can begin that long process.

Sincerely,

~Indigo
