Update on Life

2012-01-08T16:55:00.000-08:00

I don't know if anyone even reads this blog, but I'm going to update on the goings on in my life anyways, because I haven't done that in a long time.

First of all, the only two things I do on a regular basis lately, are 1. Going to work, I work a LOT. And 2. Watch TV. The amount of TV that I watch would probably scare people, and all parents would scorn me.

So 1.) Work's been pretty intense, I work a LOT of hours, and honestly, some of the people at my work drive me INSANE. But, I know I need to learn to live with that, and hey, they can't work there forever right? Maybe all the annoying people will move away.

2) Television. It is a miracle that netflix was invented, because it is so much better than regular tv.

Another thing that I spend a lot of time doing lately is my Church Calling. I just got called to be on the "Heart 2 Heart" committee, it's pretty cool. It's based on the book A heart like His, by Victoria Pearce, it's an amazing book on how to open our hearts to people, and in turn our hearts will be opened to the savior. One of jobs I have is creating and running the Palmhurst Heart to Heart Committee Blog. The address is here: http://palmhurstheart2heartexperiment.blogspot.com/

If you want to learn more about this amazing book, and the experiment our ward is doing to draw closer to each other and the savior.

COOLEST THING I'M DOING: Today I signed up for my first 5K, it's called the Las Vegas Color Run, you run 3.1 miles, and the whole way they throw handfuls of color all over you, it's awesome, here's a picture from last years, imagine that these pictures have me in them, being super cool and awesome. Because that's what it's all about, oh, and getting cool pictures.

SO. ONE MORE THING, PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER!!!!

CALEB OWENS COMES HOME IN FIVE MONTHS. I just want you all to know how exciting this is, Before Caleb left, and we were talking about how hard it was going to be. Truthfully, it was hard in the beginning, but I reached a point where it started to get easier, and now we're in the final stretch. Love this. I will NOT be updating ever day on how many days he has left though. Because there's a girl at my work who does that, and it's driving me insane. So, just so you know, it's coming up, and I'm happy about it. Thanks. :)

Funny Thing About College

2011-10-09T01:01:00.000-07:00

Yeah, The funny thing about college is... I hate it. I can't pinpoint one specific thing about college that I hate, it's really just the whole thing in general. I can't decide if it's just that I stayed here in Vegas or if it's just CSN in general. All I know is every time I walk into my English class I want to punch my teacher in the face and that every speech I hear in Communications makes me care less and less for the people around me. Maybe it's just because the people at CSN are idiots that give speeches about how to make whiskey and I have to read papers about how ghetto someone thinks they are and how many times they've been to jail. I could possibly be hating how I'm paying for a math class that doesn't count toward any Major at all but is required for me to move on, and the teacher teaches for thirty minutes and I leave feeling as tough I'm still paying for another hour while not learning anything.
Something is wrong with this whole college experience. Hopefully I can think positively from here on and not get caught up in how bored I am and how I'm wasting my time.

Haven't been home all day!

2011-10-07T23:38:00.000-07:00

Today was a busy day indeed. I left for work at 8:30 and I got home at ten, just to leave again for an hour and a half before coming home!

I ate the most delicious cookie in the world today. Made by a lady in my war and after work I went straight to her house ate my weight in stuffed cookies! (Figuratively) But the stuffed cookie part was NOT a hyperbole. That part was real. And I ate chocolate cookies stuffed with caramel, peanut butter, and peppermint while that sweet sister was perfecting recipes. It was awesome. This is her sign.

It's so cute! And they are DElicious!

After eating like fifty cookies I went and babysat today. And two of the three kids were sick, so I wouldn't be surprised if I wake up tomorrow with the flu. But hey, I was babysitting for my boss, and saying no just wasn't an option.

Birthday. So, Some birthday stuff going on last week. Last Friday to be exact.

It was my birthday and we did some pretty exciting things. Mainly we went to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. And it was a-MAZ-ing! I seriously enjoyed every second of it! We also went to Olive garden and my Dad and I had a contest on who could eat more endless pasta bowl.... He won.

Here's a picture of Jackie and I after the show.

A sideways picture of Jackie with a Phantom sign

I did get a surprise at work on my birthday that was pretty exciting! Flowers!

Yes flowers from Caleb Owens. He had his Mom get them, and he made sure that she got white roses because they're my favorite. How awesome of him to remember

So as you can see. Life is going going on. And maybe I'll get around to writing more on my blog now that I have no social life.

Lunch Time

2011-08-17T13:07:00.000-07:00

It's my lunch hour here at work, and as I can't make any calls until about 1:30 when I know that other offices will be back from lunch, I thought I'd take this time to write a post. Here's an update on what's going down lately.

I work every day, and actually got in trouble on Monday for working too much. I worked too many hours and was violating labor laws because I'm only a part time emplyee... Somehow even thought I work 7 hours a day! I actually got in trouble on Monday for working too much! I guess I was violating Labor laws!

School Starts on the 29th! And then I'll be juggleing School and work together! But I've set it up so I'm taking some night classes, and I really only have one hard class (Biology) everything else should be a peice of cake! I got my Biology class! If I didn't get this class I would have sadly been a whole semester behind on my Dental hygiene goal, and luckily I got in, and am very pleased with that!

So that Kid Caleb, Yeah, I'm still you know, writing him, waiting for him, whatever you want to call it. And all is well, so Now I'm going to go and finish work, Have a good day everyone.

New Job

2011-08-03T20:42:00.001-07:00

It is true, I now have a new job! At Hutchison and Steffen Attorney's, and it rocks! Of course, my duties are copying... I do a lot of that, about half my time is that actually, and then rest of the time, I'm staring at a computer screen and printing out even more papers! But it's awesome, really! I'm a paralegal's assistant, and I have my own desk that I will decorate any way I want, and my boss is the second counselor in my ward. He's a really nice boss, and I'm glad I get to work with him, even if he is totally crazy. The other day he said his mutant powers would be "Awesomeness and Sex appeal." So weird. But funny. And, I get to sit on a rolly chair when I'm not making copies, and wear fancy clothes, AND they have free donuts and bagels on Fridays, I think this job was meant for me.
Also another sign that my childhood is over, I got a calling this last week! I am the liaison between the young women's, primary, and the Relief society. So, there we go, a real calling, set apart and everything.

DFTBA

2011-01-22T18:28:00.000-08:00

Don't forget to be awesome.

Day 30! :)

2010-12-29T14:13:00.000-08:00

I took this really fast... and it's not a very good picture, but anyways, three good things that have happened since I started this 30 day challenge thing.
1: I got to talk to Caleb and see him... that was awesome.
2: Christmas happened, and I love Christmas!
3. I knitted some pretty skillful hats. :)

Things to Do:

2010-12-27T23:01:00.000-08:00

1. Figure out what's going on with the Stupid BYU Independent study course I'm taking because it's all too confusing for my liking.
2. Call CSN and find out what's happening there... because I'm so in the dark of what I need to do.
3. Do the giant pile of homework I have for Mr. Mast and Trig.
4. Write a good, thoughtful, and exciting letter to Caleb.
5. Give Maren, Raquel, and Luisa their Christmas presents.
6. Put together the cool video I'm making about Zeus because he's a cool little guy.
7. Think of some resolutions because the new year is coming faster and FASTER!
8. I need to start being less stressed about things, because when I'm stressed I tend to get even less done than when I'm slacking off. Not cool.

Day 29!

2010-12-27T18:04:00.001-08:00

Something I could never get tired of doing.
If I could keep knitting... forever, I would be very Happy. It relaxes me and makes me forget about anything that take up space in my mind and stresses me out. Thank you Sister Owens for teaching me how! :)

Day 28!

2010-12-27T18:02:00.000-08:00

My favorite movie... Hmm, This one is hard because I like so many movies! I went and saw Tangled today with Jackie so I will say that Tangled is my new favorite movie! It was so cute, and Zachary Levi played Flinn, and I love him!! :) It was good for all ages, and I liked it just as... Probably more than old Disney movies! :)

Day 27!

2010-12-23T16:44:00.000-08:00

Me last year:
.This was a picture of me on Christmas day one year ago! I have changed a lot since then, my hair is longer and I have different glasses (even though I wasn't wearing them in this picture anyway.) Caleb's gone, and I reallllly don't care about school as compared to my just a little not caring about it. Other than that though, nothing has really changed, but if you look at like, the two things that changed, that's basically my whole life different. Odd what one year can do.

Day 26, Where I've been.

2010-12-22T18:49:00.001-08:00

This is definitely my favorite place ever! EVER! You used to have a whole year pass a couple of years back and we went like once or twice a month, It sure was the happiest place I'VE ever been to! :)

Day 25! What is in my purse!

2010-12-21T18:51:00.000-08:00

Nothing.... my purse is completely empty! I can't even find my wallet! Not really a cool thing.... but hopefully I will find it, and then I will have one thing in my purse. What kind of girl am I? A I don't have a purse type of girl, usually I only carry a purse like, at church and even then all I have is my scripture and my wallet. There we go. :)

Day 24

2010-12-19T14:09:00.000-08:00

Something that means a lot to me is:
The temple!! I try and go at least once a week to do baptisms! I love it there, it's the most peaceful place I've ever been and I want to be able to go there for the rest of my life! :)

Day 23. 15 Facts about me.

2010-12-19T14:02:00.000-08:00

1. Harry Potter. That's it, just Harry Potter.
2. I have no feeling in my right pinky toe.
3. I write a letter every day.
4. The only reason I go to school is for my English class.
5. I have a cool hedgehog who I love.
6. Apparently I'm finally back to my old self. (Took long enough)

9. I like redvines! ;)
10. I practically live on the computer even if I don't really like it anymore.
11. I know three chords on the guitar.
12. I wish I could sing.

15. My Christmas tree is at least half Harry Potter.

Day 22!

2010-12-17T14:50:00.000-08:00

Dear Money,
I'm really sad that you ran away from my wallet a couple weeks ago, especially so close to Christmas. Today in Government we watched a whole video about deficit, and it made me really sad to see you running off with those Chinese diplomats, can't you just stay with me a LITTLE bit longer! I hope you're enjoying yourself taunting all of America. Please be nicer to us, and maybe I'll stop writing mean letters to you!
Alley

Day 21!

2010-12-17T14:47:00.000-08:00

Something that makes me super happy is!:

WHITE ROSES! These are from Valentine's Day this last year. They were so pretty, and they are my favorite, I have two that I dried and keep on my dresser and I love seeing them every day!

Day 20!

2010-12-15T12:15:00.000-08:00

The meaning behind my Blog name Iceteamagic. Well, my last name is Lupton and Lupton sounds an aweful lot Like Lipton and they make iced tea. It's been a long running nickname since softball Freshman year that my nickname has been Iceteamagic, like the brand name, and because well, I love Harry Potter of course! ;)

Day 19! Another Picture of myself!

2010-12-14T05:25:00.000-08:00

Day 18!

2010-12-13T15:27:00.000-08:00

Something I crave a lot, is..... Hershey Kisses. They are SOooo Good. I would eat them every minute of every day. They are like heaven in a bite sized little chocolate awesome kiss ness. :) mmmmmm

Day 17!

2010-12-12T19:08:00.000-08:00

A picture of me and my family, the first one is supposed to be a fun one.. But it really is a bad picture of basically all of us, the funny thing, Jackie didn't have to pretend to make that face, she was so mad at us, I can't remember the reason why. And the second one is just another picture of my family.
.

Day Sixteen!

2010-12-11T08:20:00.000-08:00

My celebrity crush is.... RUPERT GRINT! I absolutely LOVE Ron Weasly, and the fact that Rupert Grint plays him... my favorite character... it's just fate right there. He's just so dreamy, and his eyes, his big dark eyes! (That's a Harry Potter reference by the way... Don't think I'm too creepy!)

Day fifteen! Something I don't leave the house without!

2010-12-10T13:03:00.000-08:00

I never evvvver leave the house without my locket. I seriously have left my wallet keys and phone at home many times, my locket that Caleb got me for my Birthday last year is the one thing that I won't leave home without! It's pretty, it's special, and it's shiney!

Day fourteen!

2010-12-09T12:21:00.000-08:00

A tv show I am addicted to: Modern Family and Psych. No I'm not going to put pictures up, frankly I don't feel well, and I'm really tired, but those are my shows. I love them, the characters are so funny! and Phil on modern family reminds me of my Dad... And Shawn off Psych.... My hero! :)

Day 13!

2010-12-08T15:59:00.000-08:00

My Favorite bandS are One Weezer, and two the Killers, they are so good, and I absolutely love both their music! They Make me feel happy and inspire me! :)

Day 12!

2010-12-07T05:11:00.001-08:00

This is the City I live in. Las Vegas. It's not a very clean town, it's not all the times a very friendly town, but it's the town I call home. Thank you Las Vegas for not kicking me to out to go live somewhere else. And thanks for never getting actually cold, because I wouldn't be able to do that.... Just saying. VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Day 11!

2010-12-06T05:06:00.000-08:00

What's in my makeup bag?
Honestly.... nothing. I haven't worn makeup for an every day occasion since May. Pretty Intense. The only time I think I put it on was for senior pictures, so I didn't look terrible in expensive pictures! And that wasn't my makeup, it was my Mom's. The only makeup I did have, Jackie has now taken over with no intent on returning it. There you go, An inside look at one part of... what I lack in a daily routine.

Day 10! My favorite place to eat is.....

2010-12-05T19:02:00.000-08:00

BJ's Brewery, It just is, I love eating there, and if anyone asks where I want to eat, this is it, this is what I want to eat!

Day 9!!

2010-12-04T21:36:00.001-08:00

Day Nine is an item I last purchased. And the last item I purchased was a Dr. Pepper, for my Mom! She asked me to get her one at 711, and I spent $1.49 and it was really nice of me to do, and my Mom loved me SO much. You're welcome Mom! :)

Day Eight!

2010-12-03T12:53:00.000-08:00

A song to match my mood. Across the sea- By Weezer. Because I got a letter from Caleb today, and I really miss him. Sorry for complaining, but that's my moody world today.

Day 7! My ideal wedding!

2010-12-02T16:38:00.000-08:00

Ok, This post is actually something that I've thought about. I won't go into too much detail or this post will be two pages long! But Navy blue and light green, a really pretty dress, an even prettier location... the temple... and a pretty normal reception. So, Anyways, I don't won't it to be super extravagant, and I not too expensive... but that's obvious. Basically just a normal wedding... With a candy bar, and Christmas trees. Because Christmas trees are the bees knees. So there.... My dream wedding in a very general and basically telling you nothing except that it will be a typical wedding.... With candy... Hope to see you there! ;)

Day 6!

2010-12-01T05:25:00.000-08:00

For a pet I would LOVE to have a hedgehog... But wait... what is this? I DO HAVE A HEDGEHOG! His name is Zeus and is Zeus and I realllllly love him... He's the coolest thing in my life right now. :)

Day 5!

2010-11-30T05:14:00.000-08:00

A picture of me two years ago!
This was Christmas two years ago... I loved that coat! :) For a while I used this picture for EVERYTHING, It's even on my blog to the right... Right now. Man I've had this blog a long time!

Day four!

2010-11-29T05:02:00.001-08:00

My Favorite picture of my best friend! Ok, So this guy, he's seriously awesome, and he stands by me in every way even though he's more than 2,000 miles away, he's the best, and here is my favorite picture of him... Probably because he just looks kinda... crazy (Not as in insane, but like... different, I miss different.)

Day 3!

2010-11-28T13:48:00.002-08:00

My idea of a perfect first date. :)
Ok, The perfect first date is actually to do something, go to a dinner and then something fun, like the zip line at fremont street or having a marshmallow war, not sitting around watching a movie, that's for dates later on. It could be argued that Mine and Caleb's first date was a movie night watching princess bride, that was a good date too, but it would be cool to like... Go bungee jumping or something really cool like that. :)

Something I ate today!

2010-11-27T11:38:00.000-08:00

2010-11-26T21:42:00.000-08:00

Here is a picture of me... It's a senior picture of me because my camera is going pretty crazy right now, here it is!
My Day, Today we went up to Utah to see my grandparents. Honestly... It wasn't a very good visit, my grandparents are kinda on the end of their rope, and it's getting really difficult, and it looks like my Mom and her sisters are going to be trading off weeks to take care of them, pretty sad. And my day was full of a really smelly house, long car rides, and knitting. Yay knitting... Not yay to the rest of the day!

2010-09-29T16:30:00.000-07:00

Yes readers, tomorrow is my birthday! And Let me tell you.... it doesn't make any difference. Going up one number doesn't change the facts of life. I will still go to school and do my homework last minute.... as usual. I will still wake up at 4:30, and go to seminary, and drive to said building, and talk to the same people, Which is fine, for the most part I like those people. :) I will still leave school early, and check the mailbox, and I will still drive back to the school to pick up Jackie and hour and a half later! I of COURSE will still go onto facebook and the only thing to change there is that in my info, it will go up to 17 instead of 16. I'm not cynical here, I'm just sayin' I'm still going to be the same. So happy Birthday to me, Happy birthday to me, I'm another year older and I'm still a big dork! Happy Birthday to ME! :)

Love you all!
Alley

Dear Maren,

2010-09-18T20:15:00.000-07:00

I don't know if you even read my blog anymore since you're at college and I hardly ever write on here anyways anymore, but I wanted to tell you I miss you and school is SO boring. And there is so much drama going on in my life right now, and I miss YOU! So Hey girl, let's talk tome time, You're freakin awesome! :)

Alex

Happy Birthday Harry P.

2010-07-31T22:54:00.000-07:00

Yes, Today is in fact Harry Potter's birthday! I KNOW he isn't real. People keep talking to me like I'm crazy. I'm not crazy, Just a super fan. So, Please EVERYONE, I am SO Not Crazy. Thank you.
Hapy B-day Wherever you are Harry. :)

Where is my Summer Going?

2010-07-08T21:02:00.000-07:00

Summer seems to be going by so quickly! Which is all good with me, I hope time goes by fast even AFTER summer! :) I want to wish everyone a happy July, and I hope your Independence day was Good!

Now watch this video!

June is almost over

2010-06-28T18:59:00.000-07:00

June is on its way to be finished. Yes, this IS the most exciting news I have to offer. My life is SO boring right now.... No job. I sleep until like noon every day. And then I watch TV and sit on the computer. I am So lazy. And I have no money, so I can't do anything. I went to the adventure dome with Maren, Ari, and Jordan. That was cool! And... probably the coolest thing that will happen, until I get to go to Drum Major camp.... Wait, that's not cool... That's like the nerdiest part of my summer. That's like... More nerdy than BAND CAMP, because I'm actually VOLUNTEERING to go to this camp. Wow.... I'm the leader of the nerds, and I'm going to a camp so they can help me be an even better nerd leader. Haha... Man, I crack myself up sometimes. :)

Back from Camp

2010-06-20T14:04:00.000-07:00

I am back from girl's camp! It was fun but very cold! I froze up there! I learned a lot about the girl's in my ward, and I am very pleased with the way camp turned out!! :)
Summer is now on well on it's way, and I am ready to just relax now that camp is over and I have no responsibility for it anymore! So call me guys, and we'll hang out, and have a grand old time I'm sure!
I missed facebook for a week. And.... I didn't take a shower for six days.... Don't judge me.... You wouldn't take one either. I DID wash my hair under a hose. That's as clean as I got.
I missed Maren, but we're hanging out tomorrow, so that's awesome! I love her so much! Yay Maren! :D

Phone call and camp

2010-06-14T06:04:00.000-07:00

This morning, an Elder on his way to Connecticut. And in-between his flights, he was allowed to call his parents... and me! It was 5:09, and I was asleep! But, I woke up the second he called. But, I thought it was an alarm! And I almost just turned it off! But I didn't, and I talked to him for an amazing six minutes! You may not think that's a lot, but hearing his voice was so great and it made up for how off I've been the last three weeks! So, Now he's off to Connecticut!
Camp is this week. I leave in a like two hours, and that phone call was exactly what I needed for an awesome week at camp!!!! See you guys in a week!!!! :D

One Week Down!

2010-06-02T22:51:00.000-07:00

So, It's the end of the first week of Caleb being gone! This is going by pretty fast! I like it!
School ended today, which is good because nobody likes school... Unless you're crazy! :) I'm hoping to have a good summer... We'll see how that turns out! Friday I'm going with all the fourth years on the fourth year hike. Canoeing down the Colorado River! Should be exciting! Hopefully nothing will go wrong, because I'm not a good swimmer!
Today for mutual We had a movie night and watched the RM! I love Kirby Heyborne. He is my favorite actor... Even out of regular, non-low budget movies! He's just so funny! AND I had an EFY counselor who looked JUST like him! It was So cool! In the movie, he had a girlfriend who left him one year and 11 and a half months into his mission. FIRST of all, Why would you every leave a missionary in the mission field? That makes me so sad! If you made a commitment to him, Keep it! And If you are going to leave him... Why do you wait until the VERY end... That is so rude and insensitive! I do not get it!
Also, Weezer has become my new best friend! Just so you know!
MAREN darling! I love you! Great year! :)

Accident

2010-05-28T14:16:00.000-07:00

I got in an accident after school today. It wasn't a bad one, but I'm still shaken up! She was in my blind spot, and while I was pulling out I backed right into her door, and now it won't open. I'm going pretty crazy. I hope everything turns out ok!

Work Work and Not Work

2010-05-24T16:44:00.000-07:00

School is lame, and procrastination is even lamer. I have forgotten about like... three projects and papers, but it's ok, because I'll just cram them into a couple hours, make a couple mediocre things, and get good grades on them! Ok,Off to forget about my missing mission man, and just think of Weezer blasting in my headphones!

Gone

2010-05-23T14:59:00.000-07:00

Caleb is gone. It's really hard, it's only been a day... In about two hours. I'm having a hard time remembering he's gone, I keep picking up my phone to call him, and then remembering I can't, and it hurts all new, which is really sucky! Church today was good though, all about missionary work and such, I know I can make it through these two years, because I have to! Going on a mission is the most important thing Caleb will ever do, and I get to be the girl supporting him back home, So, Even though he's gone, and it's REALLY hard, I can do it. Because two years from Wednesday he'll come home, and everything will pick up where it was left off. :) Happy

Shut out

2010-05-19T21:18:00.000-07:00

I feel like I've been shut out a lot lately. I don't know what's going on with everybody. But it's probably just me. It's close to when Caleb leaves, three Days, and I get in crazy different moods every five minutes. So I shouldn't complain that nobody seems to be there, I'm the one shutting people out. And I don't mean to hurt anybody. I'm just handling this the best I can, and nobody will tell me what's really on their mind. Seriously, what's on your mind? Please tell me??

Too Soon to tell

2010-05-09T17:10:00.001-07:00

Caleb Owens leaves in 13 days. Bleh, It's still too soon to tell, but I'm about a hundred percent sure that I'll be a WRECK for at least the first two weeks. I'm not ready. But I'm being thrown in without a say in the matter.... Let's get this over with!

Maren dropped by on Friday, and we had an awesome talk! I am so glad she's my best friend. I love you Mare, I'm always here!

Alley

Time soon?

2010-04-21T15:10:00.000-07:00

Will I have time anytime SOON!? Seriuosly, it's insane how there is no time to do anything. But, pretty soon, I shall be done. No more plays, Saturday is the end. The very end! And then I will not have to do anything else, for a while. I really don't have anything important to say, just that I seriously miss haveing time, and soon, I will have endless time. 35 days from now, I'll have as much time as is possibly needed. It's crazy, but true. And What I want to say, is... HELLO TIME! You were missed!! And I'm glad to have you back!

Just another Manic Monday

2010-04-19T15:15:00.000-07:00

So, Things are.... complicated right now. And I'm looking for a part time job now, my Mom says I don't NEED to get one... But I feel like I have to, if anyone knows of anything availabel, please let me know. Thanks for reading everybody!

Even when you think I'm not thinking of you, I am!

2010-04-12T19:44:00.000-07:00

No, this post is NOT directed at Caleb, This is directed at my best friend Maren Bayles! Because of Maren, I have one of those girlfriends I've never had before. I mean, I've had friends who are girl, but not until Maren have I been a real best friend. Who I believed were my best friend had other best friends... Above me on the best friend scale. Not so with Maren, and that is much appreciated. Maren... I don't exactly know when you're leaving me. I guess, Since you haven't given me a precise date, or even a month, I'm holding out, hoping you'll just stay here with me, even though I know it's not true. You're my best friend. And you know exactly how to make me feel better. What am I going to do when I need to feel better? When I feel so lonely, because my boyfriend is over two thousand miles away and the ONLY OTHER PERSON WHO COULD HELP ME FEEL SPECIAL AND OF WORTH IS GOING TO BE IN THE NEXT STATE OVER WITH ALL HE NEW BYU ROOMMATE FRIENDS.... Maren, You are not forgotten, and you never will be, you've touched me more than anyone has. You're the perfect example of a best friend, which makes me feel terrible, because while you're there being MY perfect best friend, the most important and significant friend I've ever had, I'm being the opposite example to you. I love you Maren, And even when you are away at college with your new friend, and putting me in the back of your memory as a high school memory, I will remember you, as that friend who showed me that I never had a real friend until you. I'll remember ten minute rambling YouTube videos that were to long to even put up on the site! I'll remember Dying of heat at numerous band activities. I'll remember staring up at my ceiling at Harry Potter and you getting TOTALLY freaked out! I'll remember the way you made me happy even when you don't know that I've been having a bad day. I'll remember the time we were walking in the cafeteria my Freshman year, and realizing you were my best friend! Maren, Even when you think I'm not thinking of you... I am, And years from now when I'm old, with old people diseases and I can't remember your name let alone my own.... I'll remember that the feeling of love from someone other than my family FIRST came from a my best friend with giant hair, who loved stars, and played guitar better than anyone I've ever heard (Maybe I'm biased.... But I still believe it.) And don't think my grand kids won't hear stories of riding bikes in Toys R Us, and MARENCON 5! Because those types of things are things that I never want to be lost... Even when I'm gone.

I love you best friend... Don't forget it.

Happy Easter!

2010-04-04T17:55:00.000-07:00

This was a pretty Awesome Spring Break Week. I hung out with Caleb everyday of Spring break. It was REALLY fun. Nice, to get to hang before he leaves for two years.
So, yesterday We went to St. George, to watch conference and to help my grandparents move. Well.... They're moved. It was a lot of work. But, we got it done. And It was worth going up... I think. I really didn't get to watch a lot of conference... like... the last hour of the last session. Other than that we were cleaning and moving for the rest of conference. But, the next two months after conference are all about conference, so I'll just get to learn it now.
Happy Easter! I love Easter, not because of the eggs or the Little bunny pictures everywhere. I love Easter because we celebrate our Savior and the sacrifice he made for me, as well as everyone else, that I may return to him and have the atonement. I'm thankful for all my family, and those who care about me and who have accepted the gospel and know that Jesus is their redeemer, they are strong examples to me.
Happy Easter everyone! Jesus loves you!

2010-03-29T17:53:00.001-07:00

It came. His Mission call. Yes, Caleb Owens will be leaving us for two years beginning on the 26Th of May. He has been called to be an outstanding Missionary, serving in the Hartford Connecticut Mission, and I have NO DOUBT that he will fulfill this calling. OK, So... Here's the scoop. I've known Caleb for... well, over a year, I took him to Sadie's, we are attending the Formal together, and well, I kinda have a thing for him. I KNOW! Crazy. But, he has been called to serve, and serve he shall. If it hurts, well, that's life! And where the Lord has called, it must be answered. Two years seems... Well, long, and, it is. But, Caleb will come home two years and two months from now, a better person, and someone more prepared for this world. I'm very proud of him, and am VERY glad he has accepted the Lord's call.

Two Years? Eh, That's nothing! Congrats Caleb, Return With Honor. <3

Midway through the week

2010-03-17T15:28:00.001-07:00

So, I was sick yesterday! So, I stayed home. That's it... That's all I have to say. Boopboopboooppp....

2010-03-14T14:50:00.001-07:00

Blue. Cup. Brown. Sweater. Ugly. Scratches. Uglier. Couches.
Broken. Lamp. Dusty. Vacume. Dirty. Bowl. Black. Speaker.

What's been going on?

2010-03-07T16:23:00.000-08:00

Weeks seem to be slurring together now. Wasn't it just barely Sadie's... No, That was two weeks ago! So crazy!

It was the BEST weekend of my entire life.... so far. It was seriously awesome!

(I think I look a bit like a model in this picture)

Friday night we took awesome pictures at Mikael's house, we went to the adventure dome. We went to eat at California Pizza Kitchen, and we went back to Mikael's house to watch a movie! The whole Group

It was really fun! We got to know the other couples there... well, A lot more than before, seeing as Caleb didn't know any of them.

On our way, in the car, A little squished, but well worth it!

Saturday, we woke up early and headed to California with my Friend Maren and her date Jordan! It was SO FUN! Magic Mountain doesn't have the same atmosphere as Disneyland, and that place will always be my favorite, but Magic Mountain definitely has a lot more rides that are teenage friendly! IT was so fun. All of us agreed that X2 was the best ride! I mean, it had FLAMES! Caleb got a little sick on the way home. And throughout the day, at least one of us was feeling a little off color, and even with that, it was still COMPLETELY awesome! I have never had more fun in one weekend! Our sweater vests were totally awesometastic! We looked like cool little studs, and Caleb was really rockin his!

At the opening of the park/ With A bear!

Caleb looks so good in this picture!

All of us with that 6 flags guy!

The end of the day!

at the beginning, it was hard to get us all in the shot!

There was a wet right, and Caleb and I got SOAKED!

The End... Moral of the story, Magic Mountain is AWESOME!

Leave the Women out of this

2010-02-16T14:39:00.001-08:00

There's a kid. He's a member of the church, and in my stake, and his Dad is pretty high up in the stake. But he is SO RUDE. Today he joined in my group for a project in my first period class. And He drove me crazy. Every five seconds it was like "You can't do that you're just a woman" Or "Women never know what they're saying that's why I always ignore them, they aren't as smart as men." We started talking about college and he said "Women are wasting an education we could be giving to a man. I think they should all just drop out of college and become stay at home moms where they belong, cooking food and cleaning house." I personally have set a goal to ONE DAY, hopefully (But not as soon as I'm married) Become one of those moms. But, I HATE when people say that. Does he not realize that an education is more than ONLY useful for men? And how is he EVER going to get a wife, with this crappy attitude toward women he has. I swear, he has got a lot of growing up to do before his mission. The little freaking baby. He made me soooo angry when he did that, You have no idea. Bleh, I'm just getting so tired of his attitude toward women.

As of right now things are good

2010-02-10T17:24:00.000-08:00

So, I can't complain (Except for the razor burn I gave myself this morning) THings are going good. I love my best friend Maren, She is so awesome and nice. I wish she would be my friend forever, thankgoodness she's my BEST FRIEND FOR ETERNITY (BFFE) Without her, I would be lost. THanks Mare.
Love
Alley Walley

Let it be

2010-02-05T18:40:00.000-08:00

Has been stuck in my head all day since seminary. We sang a scripture mastery to it. So, today hasn't been the best Friday, it just felt like a waste of time. I slept a lot. And the only good thing was seeing a friend I missed for a little bit. But, Overall, today just sucked. And I want to do something, But Maren is out of town, and Caleb is at home... Not hanging out with me. I don't really know why, he said he couldn't think of something to do. So.... my Friday night consists of listening to music and vedging on the couch while eating apple cinnamon oatmeal (The best kind)

Here's a little poem I wrote right now

Fridays

Some fridays are fun
And you party and jam and have a good time
But this friday is a flop
And my face looks like I just ate a lime (Because I'm upset that this friday wasn't awesome)

Springtimes are springy
Winter is dry
And my summer is empty and dried.

Yuck

2010-01-27T05:25:00.000-08:00

Hmmm, I don't know why i titled this post that way. I'm really tired today. I think that I'm not going to go to softball today, we'll see, but most likely not, bleh, bleh bleh bleh! The sweater vests for Sadie's came in yesterday. I took Caleb his, and it looks really good on him, no kidding, it looks really awesome! I'm glad we went with red, and he looks really cool. I'm going to go in and confirm all we're doing today with the girl running the day. I'm am so excited, it's going to be a really boss day!
I haven;t finished my English book yet, I'm almost done, literally ALMOST like, less than fifty pages to go, but it's got to be done my Friday, and I don't know If I can do it, we'll see, If I don't finish it... Then i WONT finish it. So, I'm hoping to finish it. Bleh. OK, I'm gonna go to seminary now.
Oh, BTW, 10 months?

No school today for Alex

2010-01-26T07:05:00.000-08:00

I got up at 4:30. And I went to seminary. I got there, and felt like death. So I came home when It was over. And I am about to go drift off into a deep dark sleep. Thought you should know. I miss you already. Be safe, and well. And Happy and lovely. And............I love you.

Weeks of Order Yet confusion

2010-01-24T19:48:00.000-08:00

Jackie is yelling at me and I don't know why..... Now she's saying that she's not even yelling at me, And to stop typing everything she says. Now she's gotten milk everywhere from trying to ease what I was saying about her. She's being so rude and out of control. She's saying I', being racist!!!
So, this part of my year is always very scheduled.
4:30 Wake up call
4:30- 5:00 Get ready for the stupid day of school ahead.
5:00- 5:25 Blog, eat, relax, Facebook
5:30- Leave for seminary
6:10 Seminary starts Yes, It starts 40 minutes from when I leave the house. (Stupid Secretary Position)
6:40 Go to Stupid School
7:00-1:25 STUPID SCHOOL where on most days I don't learn anything. And Sit there bored writing in my journal and reading books.
1:45-5:30 (This length of time tends to change depending on the day) Softball practice.
5:30 Go home
5:45-8:00 Sleep....
8:00- 8:30 any homework I do have
8:30-9:00 Veg
9:00-11:00 Phone

That's the majority of my week days. In some ways I'm thankful for them. Everything is the same every day and they make the days go by quicker. I like that. :)

Making some Brownies

2010-01-24T14:03:00.000-08:00

I'm back from church, and I'm making brownies to take to a two sets of people, I had a friend who had A really crappy week, and I want to make her feel a little better, I'm writing her a card right now. And Also as A thank you to the Owen's for taking me out to dinner the other night with them! It was really nice.
My mum is down stairs watching something on BBC, and she is Screaming with laughter! I literally ran downstairs thinking someone was killing her, it sounded that bad. But no, she's just laughing! So weird!
I feel like a leprechaun, All dressed in green. Yesterday Caleb came over and watched a movie, that was pretty great. I like it when he comes over, since I don't really get to see him at all, I wish we had milk, but we don't milk would make me all nice and happy and cool right now, but no, it's hot, because of the brownies! Bleh!
Here's is some REALLY awesome news! I got an invitation today to go to the formal! I'm so excited to go! I can't wait! They announced it in relief society today, And I just about exploded from the excitement building up! But I won't explode... Or I can't go! :)
Anyways, You all rock so much, Thank you for reading my blog, you make me feel special, Thank you. BYE!

Two Important Days I forgot!

2010-01-03T09:50:00.000-08:00

OK, So In that last Post, I forgot two AWESOME days! OK, So, My mum's Birthday was on the 28Th, I won't tell you how old she is, but the day was really nice. At first it kinda sucked, we went to Blueberry Hill which was awesome, but my dad wanted to take my mum somewhere she didn't want to go. Then He took us to Costco, I don't know why, but he did, we went to Avatar. It was SUCH a good movie! I loved it! Definitely one of my favorites in theatres! Caleb went to that also, Then we all went to dinner at Bucca Di Beppo, I love that restaurant!

Then On... Hmm, Wednesday? We went to Gift of lights, It's a tradition we do every year, and this one was really cool, Aaron brought his Girlfriends, Abby, My cousin Shelby, Jackie, Me and Caleb all piled in the back of the truck bed, then Natalie My mum and my dad were in the front. It was cold! But also way fun!

Winter break 2009!!

2010-01-03T08:50:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone! I had a pretty Rockin' break! The Tuesday after we got off I held a "Christmas Party" At my house. We watched movie, we ate food, people won prizes. It was pretty awesome. And I think people actually had fun! I know, It's CRAZY! Christmas Eve we all just sat around watching a Christmas Story, like usual, it's one of my favorite traditions. Christmas Day we opened presents. I've been collecting TV shows (So In the future we can just watch that instead of buying cable) So, I got a few seasons of some shows I like. I got a digital Camera, Which is coming in way useful! I also got some awesome Moccasins... Those things are legit! So comfortable! After we opened presents we got dressed and went over to my Grandma's. We were there pretty much the whole day, we opened her presents and then sat around for a couple of hours. Then my lovely friend Caleb came over and met my family. He made it past my scary uncle and my teasing Dad. And we had fun playing Wii and Yahtzee (Caleb is Very good at that game)

Caleb stayed for a few hours, then he had to go back to his family. We had a huge Dinner, but I couldn't eat half of it, because it hurt to chew! The next day I went over to Caleb's house, and Played games with his parents, And his sister Rachelle's Family. I have to say, we ate some of the BEST Lasagna I've ever tasted, and I've tasted a lot of Lasagna (It's my favorite food!) It was very veryyyyy good!

This Monday we Tried to go to the Dentist to see what was wrong with my tooth, but... Sadly, they were still closed.

Tuesday I actually DID go to the Dentist, They took an X-Ray and referred me to someone else. So, Basically nothing happened. My mum and I went Shopping, ate at port of Subs, and then shopped some more, We came home, and Caleb Came over to watch some episodes of Chuck, Which I got for Christmas.

Wednesday!!! Possibly my favorite part of Winter Break All together. I went on a DATE! But it wasn't a Date... but it kinda was. :) Caleb and I went to Applebee's and had Lunch, then we walked around to a bunch of stores and looked around, (Borders, Petsmart, Best Buy) It was WAY fun, He's a really funny guy, kept me laughing the whole time! We went back to his house afterwards to take some pictures, I needed some of Foxy, so I could show my mum, so we just decided to take pictures of us there.Thursday we went up to the Worthen's Cabin, It was really fun, I learned to Ski, we went Tubing, and i relaxed a lot. Seriously, a really fun time, even if I thought it wouldn't be.

Anyway, I'm pressed for time now, I've gotta go get ready for church! It was a great Winter Break, I wish it could last longer, but thanks everyone for making it so swell! Bye!!!!

2009-12-31T16:36:00.000-08:00

OK, Quickly, since theres no time. I got a root canal today, I hurt like CRAZY! AUGHHHH! And now I'm about to be on my way to go to Brianhead for new years even though I dont want to be.
YEsterday I went on an AWESOME date with caleb, but it wasn't a date, but it was. He's such a great guy, And I'm thankful for him. Oh, and Maren, You rock, wish we could hang out but my parents are basically draging me to this cabin. I miss you tons. See you when I get back. Anyways, Happy New Years everybody. Hope this years a good one! BYE!

Let's just pretend I'm someone else

2009-12-23T18:37:00.000-08:00

So everyone, It's true. I have to have a root canal, the Dentist said at my last appointment that if it started hurting, then It would have to be done. Ay carumba! And Yes, It hurts, It's like... i can't chew anything on that side, and I can't drink ANYTHING (not even water) On that side! Or it hurts so bad, and when I'm not eating it's just throbbing. Like right now, and It makes me sick! And I have to wait until after Christmas I think, because, well, It's Christmas, Who's gonna do it? I dunno! UGh, Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh. UGH..... Owwww.

Last week of School Before Christmas break

2009-12-15T17:19:00.000-08:00

As this week grinds slowly on, I am faced with work of several kinds. I have an insane English project on Friday. I'm doing all the visual work and It is HARD work. This is like... The first project I've had to do that I'm actually trying. I have A C! So, I need to make it higher. The pinata is full of Candy, my posters are nearly done and Right now I'm taking a break.
I have a band concert tomorrow night at seven in the new theatre at bonanza, So, I've been stuck in rehearsals for that! I have Mormon youth symphony rehearsal Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and a concert for that on Sunday. Plus, it's the Christmas season! Yay Christmas! But presents take thought and Energy, and so today, I bought my mum's present. And now... I need to buy presents for only one person! WoohoO!
Anyways, I better get back to my project. And stop procrastinating finishing it. Later!

Sisters and their annoying friends

2009-12-09T15:39:00.001-08:00

I was supposed to drive today. But Jackie brought her friend over because her friend can't do her OWN PROJECT BY HERSELF. So... Now that I'm on the insurance, I still can't drive, I'm mad, and I really shouldn't be because her friend didn't do anything except need help. But I'm upset, because my mum said I could go... I was looking forward to it. I like driving, just because I can get everything off my mind except the road, and that's what I really need right now. All these things are rushing around my brain, I just want them to go away, even if it's just for fifteen minutes... Anytime without them would be a blessing!

2009-12-08T15:05:00.001-08:00

Depression hurts

2009-12-08T14:53:00.001-08:00

So, All my friends were depressed today. I don't know why, and none of them would tell me the real reason. But, it's ok, because tomorrow, is another day, obviously.

I'm writing a poem, here it is, it's titled
Sugar is sweet

Your head is giant,
and you like the giants (Caleb says I can't do this... He doesnt know anythingt)
Your feet are green,
Because youre a green bean (And again, He says I can't use this! Too bad!)

You wear shoes on your ears
and elaphants have bigger ears... Than you.
Roses are sprinkled with moonlit dew,
and in the morning on the grass there is dew... ish water

Boys are so mean
They say you cant write poems even when you KNOW you can, and they just don't know ANYTHING! MEAN!
Orange soda is delicious
It's refreshing sodaddddda door hinge

I'm a winner!
Nobody loves me though
Because my friends are depressed
And they make fun of my laugh! And make me more depressed

The end

This is the best poem in the world. And by best I mean Worst and by poem I mean earbleed, Thanks for reading, even though it wasn't... really anything. Good bye!

OH! Today I learned how to make snowflakes out of paper! I learn something new every day!

The Monday Blues

2009-12-07T14:32:00.000-08:00

This Monday Day Has gone by at a extremely slow pace, it has been gross, and it has been..... Just... Bad. I don't like Mondays, Better than getting a limb torn off by a shark (Analogy by Caleb) But they're still worse than have your fingernails ripped out using tweezers.. Slowly. For me anyways. I don't like Mondays, If you couldn't tell.
Today, Started out... OK, It seemed like I would be able to get myself out of that crazy pit that I always seem to fall in, and actually have a decent Monday. Then... It all changed, with stepping into the dreadful DREADFUL Stanky, stinky, Stunk that was my Zoology class. BECAUSE! We dissected gross frogs! They were nasty! And there were beetles in the froggies stomach! And I had to pull them out of the gross smelling tummy cavity, and dissect them too! Gross... That's all I have to say! Gross. The day really didn't go anywhere from there, nothing exciting happened, and it was just slow, and boring, and it made me want to beat up a hobo with a stick. I have band Practice tonight, That makes me want to... I don't even know, Band practice is just boring. BORRRING! But, Hey, That's the life of a teenagers... And unfortunately, that's me.

Long time No see

2009-12-05T10:31:00.000-08:00

I know It's been a while since I've actually wrote a real post, I'm sorry everyone... What, One person who reads my blog maybe? It's OK though, Because you rock!
Here's whats been going on... School... Church... More school... Band... Step Team... And Quidditch.
I've been working on lots of projects, like Quiddich, I'm excited to see if they'll let it be a club. I hope they do, I mean, it's not like it's exactly the most "realistic" club, but I know it'll be fun, extremely fun! That's just the way it is! We have an advisor, and I've got a lot of people who want to join.
Anyways, on to Somethings that are less dorky.
Have you ever wanted to be something, but it seems way too hard, or you know if you do it, people are just going to think it's a lame idea, and they put you down for it. I've been feeling that a lot lately. Thank you friends who actually think I can do things, you mean a lot to me!!!
I got my license, and no, I'm not a terrible driver, if you talk to my parents I'm the worst, but I'm actually a good driver, don't listen to what they say. They're crazy!!!

2009-11-18T14:14:00.000-08:00

It's really annoying how I'm trying to do more things on my own and be my own person, and people won't let me. Like, I'm trying to take on more responsibility, but if I do ONE little thing wrong (not even really wrong, but a little odd) People come down on me angry and upset and wanting me to change. I can be what ever I want. And I have agency to do what I want, it's not like I do anything bad! Let me be myself and stop trying to control me. You barely even have power over me, I listen to use as advice, SOMETIMES. But you're really not that powerful, so stop making yourself out to be that way.
I'm not five years old, and if I'm bossed around too much now, I'm just going to rebel, and do the opposite of what you want. Seriously. Cut it out, it's making me angry. Things are stressful enough, Stop making it worse. Who am i?

Sometimes you just need to relax

2009-10-30T16:44:00.001-07:00

Sometimes you need to take your time off, and Just breath. You need to Lay on your bed and lay under the covers with them over your head, and sometimes... Sometimes you've just got to cry. And things aren't fair, but Sometimes, You have to take it and sacrifice, because that's what it is sometimes, and you've got no power over it, and the only thing you can control is the way you handle it, and yes, sometimes... A lot of the time, it's hard. And I don't know how to explain this any differently, Because it's pretty straightforward. Sometimes, You've got to open the fridge and eat everything that tastes REMOTELY like it has sugar in it, and If it doesn't... You put sugar in it anyways!because sometimes things happen that you don't want and sometimes, All You need to do is follow the heart. And in these time, pray, and read your scriptures for guidance, because only in heavenly father will things get easier, And you re not going to be happy with out him. And SOMETIMES you just need your best friend to sympathize with you, even if she knows your wrong, even if she CAN say things that will make you want to cry. It's OK, and sometimes you're going to cry in public, and at school, and sometimes you have to go to that hour of weight training that will make your arms sore for about a week. And Sometimes phone calls make things worse, but you can't tell the person that, for fear that they won't call again. And sometimes, your family just doesn't believe you, and won't listen to your pleas and your reasoning, and you've just got to take it and forget about it, because one day it'll be better, and this won't matter, and they'll be sorry. But right now, things are hard. And Sometimes, relaxing and even breaking down is the only way your gonna make yourself feel better.

Football game tongiht In my Marching Uniform

2009-10-16T05:15:00.001-07:00

Tonight will be the only game where I get to march in my band uniform, It isn't going to be good, It will actually be terrible. But, It's OK, It really is. Because, Nobody listens or watches us anyways, Tomorrow is our band competition. I'm excited for that. I hope we do better there, Because, I don't want to be embarrassed. It's a little different there. I'm sad Maren doesn't get to conduct her song tomorrow. Hopefully she'll be able to next week. Poooor buggy. Oh, I need to ask Maren something about drum Majors. Do I keep my hat on when conducting? I thought I remembered they took them off, But I can't remember.... At all, So, I'll ask her today, since i need to know for.... Tonight! alllrighty then, I'm going to get on my shoes and get ready for seminary. Goodbye everyone! Have a wonderful day!!!

WE slept in

2009-10-11T10:54:00.000-07:00

We have slept in. And We have now missed Sacrament and Sunday School. I'm waiting for my parents to be ready, so we can go to Young Women's and the other Ward's Sacrament. But, This is way slower than if we had actually gotten up to go to our wards. It's insane. I had some toast that was really good. The weeks seem to melt together, which is fine with me. I want this year to go by as fast as possible. Hopefully the rest of the year goes by as fast as the beginning has. So, I am ready to go to church now, and I'm going to try and get everyone else to go now. Bye everyone! You guys all rock out!

I'm diggin this new arrangement

2009-10-05T10:54:00.001-07:00

So, my family decided to rearrange the living room. And the new Way is so comfy, I love it. Thought you should all know.
So, There was no school today, there IS no school today. I have a dentist appointment, which I'm not so excited for, NOT! Stupid cavities! Bleh
Anyways, there's four days of school this week, When am I actually going to go to school for a full week? I don't know!
I got this really cool hat when I was in Salt Lake, actually Park city, It's my favorite hat ever. Some have even said I look good in it! I like it though, it's very very good. People are nice, thank you people.
Now for some randomness:
I write poetry, but I haven't put up my most recent one yet, I need to.

At night time my voice gets raspy when It's time to go to sleep

Lately I've been avoiding bedtime, like a little kid.

I wish high school was over.

My fingers are cold, Because my house is cold, It isn't fair.

I'm now taking drivers ed on line. I should be doing that now... I think I will actually. I'll talk to you all whenever, bye!

General confreence day one

2009-10-03T19:58:00.000-07:00

And I watched maybe ten minutes. WE got up at six and went to Utah, we were almost there, my mum called grandma, and they didn't want anyone up there, they didn't want to be sick. So, We turned around and listened to the first session on the radio. Then We got home and I watched the first talk on the TV, then I fell asleep, because I was so tired. But I need to take notes tomorrow, so, it's all good. WE can do this.
There was a football game last night, but it was suspended due to a fight. It was against Western, of course there was a fight. SERIOUSLY. Yes, I know, I don't blog as much lately, I need to make that up. Yup I do. Umm, I'm on face book a lot. You can see me there. For reals. Later my homies.

Monday Again

2009-09-21T17:20:00.001-07:00

Today was a Monday. Let me tell you about Saturday.
Saturday I went to the lake for the first time. It was way fun. I'm glad I went and I'm also glad I LEFT when I did. Everyone else is sore and sunburned. But, seriously, it was way fun! Then Saturday night I went to the Killer's concerts. IT was so great. And about two hours before the show started Sister Day leaned over and said "I have two extra tickets, Do you have anyone you want to invite." And I called Maren, And we went and saw the killers, and it was SO amazing! Thank you Sister Day!
I went to church yesterday... That was it.
I went to school today. It was borrrrring. It went by semi fast though. I'm tired. And band practice in a couple minutes. So, I'm gonna go have my dad take me. Bye everyone! See you all when I see you. Goodnight and travel well. Brownie points for the reference!

Can't sleep

2009-09-17T00:11:00.000-07:00

It's past midnight, I can't sleep. So terrible, I swear. Ugh! So, I almost died today.... Just so you all know. I had a bad reaction to the anesthetic at the dentists... And My heart was beating way slow, I couldn't breath and I passed out. WEIRDEST thing ever. But they gave me oxygen, and everything is cool now. Well, except that I can't sleep. I have a lot of homework I should be doing instead of blogging, but I'm really just not in the mood. Maybe I'll listen to some harry Potter to get me to bed. Because I am so tired, but I can't sleep. I've written some poems, and I will probably continue writing them. They will go up on facebook. Just because it's easier, maybe I'll put a few up here, maybe. Just... be on the lookout. Also, Grant wrote a REALLY good poem a while ago that's up on facebook, be on the lookout for something like that on facebook later on in the month. He's a really cool guy, you rock Grant. So, Band is going... interesting. I think I've finally hit my breaking point. I act really mean and just try and get things done. Lots of people hate me now... And call me bad word names, but it's OK. Because... It's to the benefit to the band in the end... I guess. There's a football game tomorrow. And Friday there is band practice.
Saturday We're going to the lake with the ward. I'm allowed to go.. But I don't really want to. We're going to see the Killers Saturday night. So awesome, and I am mucho excited. You guys are so amazing. YOU are so amazing. I'll talk to you all later, contact me if you want to know more about me almost dying! Love you all!
Alex

I get so busy during the school year

2009-09-13T12:15:00.000-07:00

So, the school year is was busy, at least I think so. Because of band mostly, And then when I want to blog the computer is locked so I can't blog... Really not very fair, at least I don't think so.
Everything is fine. No need to worry. Something was kinda stressing me earlier, but everything is resolved, so... YAY! Thanks for the help... Ummmm, Actually this one kinda was just worked out on its own. ANYWAYS, we did this every 15 minutes someone is killed by a drunk driver thing this week at school, which was way sad, and I cried in the Assembly on Friday... I'm an emotional baby, I can't help it! Haha
There was a football game on Friday, and we smashed Clark, because.... We're that good? Haha, Don't know if that's really the phrase at all, lol. OK, Well, Costco pizza is almost done. I'll talk to whoever is reading this later... K? Ok? OK... Ok! BYE! Haha

Tired of school already

2009-09-09T14:09:00.000-07:00

So, I'm done with school, we should petition to just end it all together. I seriously find MOST of it to be a waste of time, sure, there are a select few classes which I would enjoy going to, pretty much only English and history, everything else is a waste. First through fourth period are a seriously waste of my time. I learn absolutely nothing in them. Other than band all it is, is busy work, which is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves, why even have us sit in the class if all you're gonna do is sit at your desk and make us do something that isn't teaching us anything? I like English and I like history, because those classes don't give me busy work, and I ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING. I think that classes that are all busy work should just not be a part of school, if you wanna take it, do it on your own time, but I am so sick of those classes, and I have to sit through them DAY AFTER DAY. I'm not taking them next year, when I CAN have shortened classes I WILL, because these retarded classes where I don't do anything are SUCH a waste of time. And I could be doing something more productive, like actually learning, or getting ready for the future in some way. I'm just saying, if you're not going to actually teach us something, we should have the right to drop the class or just not have to take one. POINTLESS.

Today is Saturday, and I am ill

2009-09-05T11:42:00.000-07:00

So, I woke up this morning with no voice. Then I got in the shower and ate and I have half a voice back! Yay! ANYWAYS! I'm going to a baptism today today at four. Good times. This post won't be long, because I don't have much time. My nose is all stuffy, and I need blow it. SO, If you'll excuse me, I'm off to explore the vast cavity that is my nose!

Not gonna lie... I hate school

2009-09-03T05:11:00.000-07:00

This is boring... School I mean. It's way too long, and I slept in today, but My hair is a big wild mess that cant be tamed... Just wanted you to know. And I miss my friends, because even at school we hardly hang out. We have to be EXAMPLES, which I am purty bad at I guess since nobody even thinks of me as a drum major! And you're always... Idk, doing something Baker asks, which Is good, just... doesn't leave much Alex you time, ya know? Ah well, we'll work it out. And I would've come make crowns yesterday, but I wasn't feeling well, and my throat really hurt. Plus I'm not a senior, and you guys all are, I'd feel weird intruding on your friend time. Budding into an activity that I don't belong in for another year. ANYWAYS< hope you had fun, Aaron wasn't gonna let me go anyways... He told me. OK, I'm gonna go finish getting ready for school. Bye guys!

Standards night

2009-08-30T17:41:00.000-07:00

So, there's standards night tonight. My tummy hurted this afternoon, and I feel better... a little bit now. Just a little bit. Standards night is in forty five minutes, I need to go get ready. Because I'm in my icky pj's.
Does anyone remember the movie Eloise. I love that name, That might be the name of one of my kids... Just a heads up to you all, Then I'd call her Elli. Cute I know! ANYWAYS, I loved that movie. It was one of my favorites as a kid. I think I'll watch it tomorrow, during the Disney premier. If I remember, Oh, wait, no I won't I have band practice, now I'm sad. I Am... Ha ha, OK, I need to go now, Goodbye everyone!

Going to School, I'll talk to you afterwards

2009-08-27T05:31:00.000-07:00

So, I'm off to seminary, today is gonna be a happy day, well, after school at least. Bye everyone, I'll talk to you later, miss me while I'm gone, like you KNOW I'll miss you!

Love Always,
Alex Lupton

So, Go school?

2009-08-26T16:40:00.000-07:00

No, Well... Maybe. I just woke up from a nap, I think I'm going to do that everyday, It's perfect, now I can do my homework, which is just Reading and studying for a test tomorrow. Which is perfectly fine. I did good on my reading quiz today in history, not Like I wouldn't... Why wouldn't I? Who said I would do bad? YOU?! Wow, you suck. Wait... No you don't, you rock. More than anyone I'll ever know. I need to go read some more for history, so I can pass another one... What's that? You don't think I'll pass? Wow, that's rude, can't believe you. JUST KIDDING!
So, I'm still kinda out of it. But I'm gonna go now, have a good day everybody.

Sleep is Welcomed

2009-08-26T05:22:00.000-07:00

These days are too long, way too long. It's is so lame how long they are. I've talked to people and they've said: NO! It's way shorter than block days! But I disagree, I can't wait to actually START work in class! Because as it is, the classes drag on forever, it's so lame. I get cold in some of my classes too, maybe I'll bring a jacket today or something. I like my history class a lot, Mr. Eubank was Indiana Jones yesterday, so much fun,
My mum is telling me how in her dream she was on a beach in RIO.... RANDOM!!! lol
My house is cold... As it always is. I'm going to SO take a nap when I get home today, these long days sure do drain me! So, Ya, I'll take when when I get home. Jackie stays at school really late, because she has choir after school, I come home as quick as I can, and I'm not in my classes ONE minute longer than I'm forced to be! I'm going to go cuddle under a blanket with the couch now... And try and be warm before we leave. By everyone, have a good day doing your work and such! Bye!

First day of school part 2

2009-08-24T13:58:00.000-07:00

School was so long... I do NOT remember school being that long! What the heck!
I went to homeroom, and that was just lame, nobody sat next to me, and only the weird teacher talked to me. I went to first period which was stupid zoology, I took that so I would be with my friends, and only Michelle is in that class with me, it's so lame, and Mr. Johnson gets on my nerves, but I think I can struggle through the class, it won't be hard, it'll just be very lame and boring, lol.
OK, this next part might offend some people, not gonna lie, so if you are of the Hispanic race... You might not want to read on for fear of being insulted, not on purpose toward you I promise.
I walked into second period Algebra two, and I was the ONLY one in the class, it was completely silent, then the bell rang and I was still alone, all of a sudden about 30 kids show up.... And none of them are white. Every single one is Hispanic, and I was like... "Am I in the right class?" Because none of them were speaking English, they sat down and it got INSANELY loud, and it was like... Spanish on EVERY side of me, EXCEPT for the stupid swear words, those were in English, and they were also like.. Every other word, it was so annoying... I wanted to scream like... halfway through the class.
Third period was Photography two, that was decent, it's the only class I have with Chase, I'm gonna miss having all my classes with him. Fourth was band, and that was OK too... Ugh I have practice tonight, I'm not excited... AT ALL!
Fifth period was AP history, that is probably going to be my favorite class, I love history, and the teacher is awesome! He's so funny, he called Price a "Tall TALL chunk of sexy" lol so funny.
Then Lunch, which I was totally cool with. Then I went to AP English, I like that class too. I have to do a six words that describe me thing... I've got a few ideas. Which sounds better?
"Painted my own picture of happiness"
or
"I struggled; then reaped the rewards"
Think hard.. Because I NEED TO KNOW, for an assignment. Thanks guys, you all rock. :)

First Day of School Today

I've got some new Chapstick... It's Blistex medicated mint! It makes my lips tingly! lol
Yesterday was the Bengal Bash. It was really fun, there are SOME pretty cool freshman coming in! I like them... Well... Some of them! It was way fun hanging with Maren and Aaron and Tyler.
