Birthday

So, today is my birthday. It's like five twenty five in the morning, so I haven't done anything. My hair is not cooperating. That stinks! I'm going to baptisms today. That's exciting. And band practice after that. So, my b-day. Hopefully enjoyable!

Nap

I totally just woke up from a nap. I was so exhausted. I still feel like sleeping, but Jackie woke me up with her stamping upstairs and screaming into the phone to her friends because she can't talk regularly! So, I'm a little grumpy, and she's trying to sing the song below from the bravery, the time one. And she's hurting my head. I'm still a little tired, so I'm just going to hang out up hear by the computer, maybe stretch out and sleep a little more, heroes is on tonight at nine, as long as I'm awake by then it's all good. But then again, my mom was thinking of going to dinner tonight for my birthday, it's cool with me. So, there you are, I'm tired, and I'm rambling on and on about a subject that should have taken two lines!

The Bravery again, "Time won't let me go"

This is an amazing song. I've heard it before, but again, I didn't conncect it with the band's name. So enjoy, awesome song!!!

Sleeping over fun.

Yeah so, last night I went over to my amazing friend Maren's house! It was awesome we watched UHF, and then some Mr. Bean. We stayed up for awhile after that, Maren got us water, and there was this GIANT cup that she filled to the top for me. It took me forever to drink it, she finished before me!!! Then it took her mom like five tries to get us out of bed. WE were about ten minutes late to Mormon Youth Symphony, so very fun. Thanks Broth and sister Bayles for letting me spend the night to celebrate Maren's birthday. And thanks Bay, because that was totally awesome!!!

The Bravery, Believe

So, Phillip told me to check out this band. And I actually think they're kind of cool. I like this song. And I like some other ones they have too. I especially like their song, "Time won't let me go!!" Awesome, and a really cool video! So, thanks Phil, you rock. But I can't remember any other bands you told be to look up. : (

For Her

So, tonight I'm staying over at Maren's house for her birthday. I'm excited, I hope she's excited. It's going to be a lot of fun. And, I don't know, maybe it will relieve some stress I've been under lately!

The office, tonight, so excited!!

Homecoming 2.0

So, again with the homecoming. We were talking about it today in the car on the way home. Almost all my friends are going with dates now, so I don't know how this me going alone thing is gong to work. Anne's got a date who's really a "friend", but they're still going together. Maren with Trevor, Aaron and his girl, I don't know about Michelle I don't think she's going with anyone. Aileen and her bough, Phillip's not going, I don't know about Zack, and that's pretty much all my close-knit friends. So, yeah, that's me, maybe going to homecoming.

Shout out again

So, I didn't know what to write. So i talked to my friends today at lunch and asked for advise. They told me to write about my friend Aileen, she has a funny face when she's squinting or trying hard to think of something. Most of them also didn't know that I had a blog, so shout out to them. You rock, Anne. Phil you're super-cool. Aileen, keep up the cool face stuff!!!

News

So, the news I was hoping for, yeah, not the news I got.

Band Practice

I'm actually kind of excited for this band rehearsal. And of course it's because I'm super hyped to learn the last sets of Beethoven! And hanging out with my amazing friends. Also, I should be finding out some exciting news today. So, band practice. I've got a couple hours, how to kill the time? Hmmn, I could always blog some more!!!

Confusion

I'm so confused, lately. I have no idea what the truth is in certain situations that I've been put into. My friends have been helping me out. But I don't know what to think anymore. Maybe it's truth, maybe not, but I'm just one of those people who don't think that cool things can happen to them. I mean, this is like mondo awesome, and I just think that it was maybe misinterpreted, or just flat out not true. I mean, I would LOVE it if it was for real. But I'm just not that way. I think it's safer for it to be untrue, even if it's not what I want. So, this is it, I'm a total unbeliever. I'll just wait for conformation, and then maybe I'll be truly happy about this whole situation. For now, I'll cling to this bit of hope, because right now I'm confused and am kind of in need of a hug. So, if you see me, I need it. Thanks.

Sleep

I slept so much this weekend. I've slept a full twenty-four hours, and that's not counting my Sunday nap or the sleep I'm going to get tonight! I feel fully refreshed. And ready for this week ahead. That is, until I have to wake up for seminary tomorrow!

Happy

Yesterday was so amazing. That game, we won. And then, Oh My Goodness, man, those who were there know what I'm talking about. I almost cried from that glorious news, but it was also a little sad. And those who were there also know why it's sad. I know there are some of you who have NO IDEA what I'm talking about, and you probably won't ever know, but it makes me happy, so be happy. Thanks, oh, and Maren I really need to talk to you about this. Maybe tonight, but it's hard to talk about with some of my other friends, since you know me the best. No offence to anyone else, but Bay, you, me, talk, later.

Cartoons

I write notes to my friends, and they're like a cartoon strip. I think they enjoy reading them and I think they're hilarious, just to write! And today, at lunch all my homies were telling me how I should make like a comic book, and split it up so that they each had a piece of the story, but I had the ending. So I wrote it today, and I'll hand it out tomorrow. It's funny, I think. But it's all what they think, since it's for them. Way cool, so, gonna go. Very Viscous!!!!

Phillip

I know, another shout out, but I need to write about my friends. SO, this one's for Phil. Phillip Easton is a friend of mine, he eats lunch with us. He made me a spy, and he's one of the gang. He's really funny, and is always making everyone laugh. He has a bad back, but that doesn't stop him from doing crazy stunts anyways. He's one crazy, afrohaired, Funny, Ninja-spy guy.

Shout out

Hey, this is a shout out to Anne Aoki. Anne, Super Anne, A o k I, Fumi, Fumiko, Blue tree. She's a cool ninja friend, who helps me out with difficulties I have. She's in my Band and Chemistry classes. And although I sit next to her in neither she is awesome. So Anne, Way to go, you rock. This is a shout out. Cool, I know!! :)

Homecoming

So, a lot of my friends are going to homecoming, and MOST of them are going alone. A lot of my peeps from band, it sounds fun. I didn't go last year, so I don't really know what it's like. But Anne says it's fun, and I was thinking that I might go, we have a band competition that day. But we're coming home from our first band competition early for the dance. So, it sounds way fun, and if I go then I just want to encourage all my friends to go, and then hopefully I'll be there too!!!

Photography

So, I got a camera for Photography. I'm so Happy, It's a nice camera. It's like a $150 camera, and my dad got it for 50 BUCKS. And it is amazing. I couldn't stop playing with it today!!! And my teacher said it was a really good camera, Film 35 mm. Awesome.

Band, Band, more band, and Mormon Youth Symphony

So, band is like a week long thing, it's making me feel like I have no time in between Band and church, and now Mormon Youth Symphony is starting. First rehearsal will be Saturday, unless this lady calls me back and says otherwise. So, I'm a busy person. I don't even want to think about what it's going to be like when softball starts. I have band tonight. And we just had one Friday so it feels like it's a practice just about the day after the last one. Not excited, and the only perk I have is hanging out with my buds. Today is Rebecca's birthday though, so that's pretty cool. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECCA!!! You Rock!!! Wooohoo Becca!

Missig You

So, this post is for Maren, because I'm missing you BAY. I have absolutely no classes with her. And I miss her at lunches, too. It makes me sad, because I never see her. And she's sad because I'm awesome and no one wants to miss out on Alex time. So, we've been trying to spend as much time with each other as possible. And it has been OK, but I still miss her during school all the time. I've been trying to write her notes, but she keeps forgetting her, but, I shouldn't complain, because I';m really grateful for the time I do have with her. You rock Bay.

Michelle Phillips

Hey, So this a shout out to my friend Michelle. She's awesome, she's in my band and English. She is a really amazing friend. She know my secrets, and she lets me call her Shelly. She's older than me, and she's one of my friends who tries hard to resist swearing, which I really appreciate, and although she may poke fun at my beliefs, I know it's all just messing around. She and I are in band, which seems to go on forever, but Tuesday night rehearsals don't seem to be as long with her. She's a rockin' friend, and I'm glad to have her in my life. Shelly, you rock, told you I'd write about you.

Maren showed me this band, and I've actually heard a lot of their songs before, I just didn't know who they were. They're called Death Cab For Cutie.

"I will follow you into the Dark"

"Soul meets Body"

"Someday you will be loved"

Mutual

So, yesterday we went to Orange Pear; for mutual. It's a frozen Yogurt joint that would blow your ,ind. Seriously, that good bub. After we got our great yoga rt (I got Pomegranate with Kiwi toppings, sooooo good) we went back to the church and played getting to know you games, since all of my miamads are pretty much new, they all cane in within three months of now. But only Me, Jenna, Michelle, Adie, Kay Lynn and the leaders came. We were missing Alisa and Ashley, they were busy but we missed them a bunch, Now, I'm writing this at five Am, and I'm starved, it 's about five twenty five, and I have to get ready for school!!! Bye,

Alex Lupton

Secrets

So, Friday, some of my friends found out a secret I've had for a while that kind of flipped into a lie. I thought they would be upset, but most of them were OK with it. One of my friends was actually really happy. Michelle. I thought she would have been one of the angriest people in this situation. But it seems like Maren was the angriest, for all of a minute. Anne swore she knew all along. I'm like a book, so easy to read, and unable to shut it. I thought I was being good about my secret, but I guess I suck at that kind of stuff, seriously. But, man, that secret was eating at me, I hadn't told anyone for forever, and when it finally got out I was kind of relieved, though I still regretted it, because now they all now. And they're all friends with the secret, can you say awkward? Because I can, and I seem to be sticking my hands out with three fingers wiggling about, the most awkward a turtle can get. And it just keeps coming. It wouldn't be so bad, but my secret keeps coming to me for advise about other girls who are quite close to me, and it's kind of hard not to take that and not have a stab to the heart, but what can you do? A secret is a secret, I'll live. Some how.

Schedule

They retarded my schedule, it's retarded, I'm so angry. They wouldn't let me keep my geometry honors because of the class was for freshman. And the administration said it was mandatory for me to be in a sophomore class, which is stupid since we're learning the same exact thing, so I had to drop jazz band to take it, because it's only available for me to take then, because Baker doesn't want me to miss concert band. So I had an open class, and I didn't want to take anything else, so they put me in HEALTH, retarded I know. I'm really stressed and angry, and the stress is making me more angry. I swear, I almost cried today, I had to walk out of band fifth period for like five minutes and try to control myself, seriously. Third period was the only class I had with Maren, and that made both of us sad, because now I'm not there, and my new Geometry class is so annoying, Between Dillon Davidson laughing at me, and Caysen wanting me to sit right next to me, I can't concentrate, and health, I was going to take that through BYU. Now, no need, but it's a stupid unnecessary class, so, I'm stressed, I barely see Maren, and I'm going to cry.

Standards night

So, I was in charge of standards night. It was yesterday, and the theme was to run away from temptation like superman runs away from Kryptonite. I thought it was OK, could have gone better, I messed up the order we were all supposed to go in, and it sounded like I had marshmallows in my mouth at times, but other than that it was OK! People seemed to like it, like sister Barns, Young women Stake president

The Beach

The beach was really fun, yes, I got burned all over, and my tan is so farmers you wouldn't even know, but I really bonded with the girls, not so much with the boys. I was buried, I buried others, Almost drowned a couple times in the waves, and even though I put sunscreen on like four times, I still got burned to the bone. And we didn't see any sea turtles, Very sad.

Football Game

There was a football game on Friday, pretty fun, not the game personally, I loved hanging with my friends. That was the fun part. Maren and I got a picture with the Bengal mascot together, it was way awesome, we ended up losing the game, but that didn't matter. Then we went to Denny's, after, ate lots of food, and had a Rockin, time!!!

Free Fallen

Awesome Song.

Favorite Scripture

My favorite scripture at the moment is Doctrine and Covenants 6:3. It says...

Behold, the field is white and ready to harvest; therefore, whoso desireth to reap, let him thrust in his sickle with his might, and reap while the day lasts, that he may treasure up for his soul everlasting salvation in the kingdom of God.

And I believe that means, that the gospel is there for us to take while we're here on earth. I mean, it's there, the lord put it on the earth for us. And since it's "Full" and ready for us to take, why not thrust in out sickles and take as much as we can. That is one of the reasons we're here. To learn as much of the gospel as it is possible, and then return to the lord, so that we may have everlasting salvation!! If you love the lord, and want to return unto him, then seriously, why wouldn't you want as much of the gospel in your life as absolutely possible. The lord wants you back, and the stronger your spirit the better, GO, get the gospel, be strong and steadfast, treasure your soul, it's important to the lord. Nourish it, strengthen it with the gospel, and go back to our father in heaven with the strongest spirit possible!!

So, I don't like the video very much, but this is a cute little mormon girl song.

Beach trip

So, the young men and young women in my ward are going to the beach this coming weekend for everyone who's read the book of Mormon, as of right now, I have 39 pages to go. I'm going to finish. I have to read seven pages a day, but I'm going to do it!!! Then I'll be spending the day with the peeps from my ward. The ferni's, Dawnalongagous, all my miamaids, and some others, including my newest bud, Jenna ( who doesn't read my blog anyways!) So, that's be fun, even though my BEST BUD, Maren will not be in attendance. I will miss you Bay.

And my trip is not going to boring like this picture, I just thought it was beachish, and funny.

Ashley

So I was looking on my friend Ashley's blog, and she has one of those playlists on her blog, too. And she has some spiffy music on there. I guess I didn't realize that I listen to a lot of 80s music. But it came to me, that I listen to mostly 80s stuff. So Ash, you're not alone in listening to that genre of music. Seriously, I listen to her playlist more than I listen to mine!!! lol, I know, it's hilarious!!!!! Here's her address, so you can look it, up. Don't worry Ash, everyone who reads my blog is cool. And if you're not, than I need you to get off my blog right now, because you're spoiling it with your icky uncoolness. Just kidding guys. rhinobubbles.blogspot.com

PS: That picture is an 80s song right?
