Soo, I want some new hobbies. Something fun, to keep me busy. Before in my life, I loved having spare time, but now I HATE being bored SO MUCH. It makes me incredibly grumpy. I'm thinking of teaching myself a bit of piano again... Or starting art again. Just doodling and stuff... And of course there's crocheting, but I was thinking something a bit more like... something I can improve on. hence the piano and drawing. But you got any other ideas? Any ideas would be great. As long as they're not too crazy. ;D Thank youuu!
So let's see. I know I just updated, but why not fill you in on the FUTUREEE?!
This weekend I'm going to the pumpkin patch with Krista and Audrey, where apparently there is a GARGANTUAN pit full of unpopped pop corn. That has GOT to be epic! :) Then I'm going to a beach house for Cassi's birthday. This all should be great.
As far as the FAR future goes... Mom's been lately bringing up college a lot. WHAT!? Why are people thinking about college already!? That's so weird to me. I'm too young for college... Not ready, physically, mentally, emotionally. And some of my friends, like Krista are SO pumped for it, so I feel a bit behind the times...
...Considering I have no idea what I want to major in or have as a occupation. :/

Well, I've finally caught the bug that's going around at school, so I'm home for the day, which is both good and bad news.
My classes at school are really overwhelming me. I mean, I'm surviving, but I've got a lot of challenging classes this trimester, and I don't have the best grades. But I'm trying to not get discouraged. I'm trying to just focus on one day at a time... One class... But I'm not going to lie, I'll be extremely relieved when this trimester is OVER and I get to have my FUN class, digital photo! :)I'm very excited for that.
I guess you could also say that I'm just kind of... bored with school. This year, I can tell it's a lot of busy work, or it's too much work presented in one way. Too bad, so sad. Also, I think last year I was so immersed with new people, and I loved it. I LOVE making new friends, and this year it seems like I'm not making as many, because I already have a large group of friends. So I keep trying to reach out to random people I'd usually never talk to. Success several times though. I've made a good friend named Chris who's grandparents are apparently Mormon and his mom is supposedly inactive. I'm not sure about this, but I'd like to hear more about his family, and it seems like he wants to learn more about the church. He's a really nice guy, and I'm happy we clicked because then I introduced him to the rest of my friends and they all accepted him with open arms - more like flailing, frantic arms... They're girls and he's cute. Haha. Gotta love high school.
So in order to maintain my happiness level, I've discovered I ALWAYS MUST be getting to know a person, or meeting someone new, or just making a new random friend. It's like new people are my drug. They're so... interesting.
What else is new in my life? I'm switching rooms, to Amy's old room! Hope you don't mind, Amy ;). I'll treat it well. I'm also SUPER SUPER excited to be an AUNT to two more kiddos! Ahhh! They're gonna be adorable, I know it.
Woo.

Randomness #4
Once upon a time, I was me. Once upon a time, I could honestly say that I was completely original. Now however, I am many people. I’ve gathered bits of pieces of personalities from friends and families, and created a mosaic of myself. When looked at from afar, I appear to be me, and only me, but if you look closer, get to know me, I am just fragmants of events, memories, laughter and tears. So honestly, is complete originality a good thing? Once upon a time, I was me, and only me, but once upon a time I was alone.
(: ILY.
(: ILY.
The hardships of being in high school...
...is that all your friends do stupid things.
Ugh. Makes me so frustrated I don't even wanna write about it.
But I still hold strong. So ha. (:

SOPHMORE YEAR!
So! Sophmore year is pretty intense! I have World History with Mr. Gunn!, Spanish with Mrs. Moyer!, PE, Algebra 2, and English.
World History- So, I keep hearing so many stories about how absolutely amazing Mr. Gunn is, and he is really funny when he's not teaching, but the class is BORING. And I made the mistake of not taking honors, so it's really easy, which I guess is good, since I have so many other hard classes. But aaauuuggghhh. Boring!
Spanish- This has got to be my favorite class and my worst subject. I'm seriously TERRIBLE at Spanish. However, I have the best. Seat. Ever. I'm surrounded by friends. First off, my good friends Anissa, Dana, and Holly are all in that class, but I don't sit next to them. I'm surrounded by my friends Tyler, Nick, Brandon, Clay, and Jose. We are all terrible at Spanish except for Nick, and we always make fun of him for his smarts! (In a good way. (: )It's amazingly fun. :)
PE- I'm sooo lucky I have one of my best school friends in this class, Stella. I made tons of friends in this class, including my beastly water polo friend, Debbie. She's so cute and nice and thoughtful. We're in a basketball unit. It's pretty fun, actually. The teacher is Rashe, who has the reputation of being a perv, but I think every one is stupid, and he is just very nice and friendly. :) I like him.
Algebra 2- Blehhh. This is a terrible class. The teacher, Mrs. Adnani, is okay at teaching, but she's so so so mean. She calls us stupid all the time and says we're all going to fail our class. One guy almost broke down crying. BLEHHH.
English- Our teacher is so tiny and cute and her voice is sooo high! It's quite a fun class, though we have TONS of homework. The whole class is basically friends with each other, and I sit between two awesome people I always talk to, Katie and Eddie. :)
School is bearable enough, can you tell?

End of Summer Blues...
*sigh*
Summer's almost over.
Boohoo.
But in some ways I'm excited for school to start. Just to see how things are. but anyway...
On the amazingly bright side!
Ryan and Andrea and Jakob are home! Yes yes yes! Yay! It's so fun seeing them again. I may not seem very social, but I really do love having them home. Jakob's so cute now, and Andrea's got a nice little baby bump! Yusss! I get another one! Haha. And Ryan returned with a very European beard. Nice. :)
This has been a very interesting intense summer and I'll miss it! :D

Choir
Festival

AMAZINGLY FUNNN.
Where else can you meet super friendly Finnish people, meet people that actually GET your choir jokes, go on cruises, sing ALL day, explore the "scary" dark basement of a Berkley college, and play Red Rover for two hours straight with people you've never met before?
No where else, my friend.
No where else.
But seriously, it WAS a blast.
I sat next to my friend Kathleen, a girl from Finland named Linda, and Anothony, a very feminine but hilarious Colorado-inian? Every day for three hours we got to work with composers from England, California and Finland. My favorite composer EVERRRR was there, Bob Chilcott. He's such a cute little British man, and is very nice. :)
Then every night we would perform. IT was kinda difficult listening to choirs that are WAYYY better than you. But luckily there were some not-so-good ones there as well, so we weren't totally down.
In fact, in the children's category, we got 1st place in the historical category, and 2nd in folk (AKA REALLY good).
...And I have absolutely no patience for blogging, so now I say buh bye.

Randomness #3
Long time no randomness. (:
I’m drowning. I’m drowning, but it’s a happy kind of drowning. Drowning as I immerse myself in a pool of colored leaves. My eyes are filled with red, orange, yellow, and deep shades of purple. My neighbors stare, but I carry on with my delight. The leaves fly around me as if they themselves are alive. They dance and I join, twirling in circles and doing any lame dance move I can think of. They seem much more graceful than me. I dance on, however, adding lyrics this time. I’m surprised at myself, for the song is a familiar one. One from my childhood. How fitting. I stand there, trying to reminisce and finally realize why I can’t- in this pool of leave, I am there again. How can I look back o the present?
Enjoy.

My Amazing YW Leaders and Homemade Slip and Slides
My young women leaders are AMAZING. I just got back from a trip to "Hawaii" they had planned for us.
First, they picked us up in a "limo" (really a mini van with the words limo painted across) and gave us a lay (spelling?)and a flower in our hair. Then we arrived at the dozier's house, only to receive a CANDY lay this time. It was decked out in beautiful hawaiian decor. we had a WONNNDERFUL dinner, with super cute decorations, and not to mention yummy food. Sister Greco, my second/third mom, made an 8 layered jello creation in the colors of the young women values! WOW! After much talking and goofing off, we went swimming. When we had splashed around for quite a while, our YW leaders came out with Virgin Pina Colatas. :) Of course. In martini glasses with umbrellas and super cute spoons! So we sipped that while talking in the hot tub.
After that came more swimming, and when it was about time to leave, our Young Women leaders let us KEEP the martini glasses, spoons, and super cute coasters in the shapes of flowers. Then they also gave us adorable cupcakes that was decorated like a beach, complete with the ocean, made with frosting, a cardboard palm tree, and a minty beach ball!
THESE WOMEN ARE AMAZING.
I did the dishes for them. It was the least I could do. (:
Speaking of water activities...
A couple days ago my friend Cassi and I had just gotten back from swimming. We wanted to dry off for a bit, so we layed in the sun. We got dry in probably 2 minutes. It was THAT hot.
Then random happening #1 occured.
Let's fry and egg on the sidewalk!
Which failed, and we ended up having a a HUGE water fight, aka random happening #2.
We then got TOOOOOO hot again, so Cassi (random happening #3) soaked her towel and wrapped it around herself.
I then commented on how slippery it was.
Leading to the paramount random happening #4. HOME MADE SLIP AND SLIDE!
Consisting of:
4 wet towels
3 trash bags
1 hose
2 totally insane girls and 1 partially sane one
2 guy friends that laughed at us the whole time
Yes. All of those ingredients are MANDATORY.
I LOVE YOU, SUMMER!

I'm 15! In less than a year, I will be driving and dating! That's a scary thought, isn't it? My birthday party went wonderful. The pictures are on facebook, and most of the people reading this have a facebook. So look there. :D It got a liiittle crazy. We basically got into a HUGE whipped cream fight and... I can never eat or look at whipped cream ever again. Ugh.
SO. School is almost over! Two more weeks, and one week of actual SCHOOL. The last week is just testing. Four more days of seminary, HALLELUJAH! My year book comes in on Thursday, and you have no ideaaaa how excited I am for it. Next time I see you, expect a full run through of everyone I know! Hahaha.
This year's been great. High school is great. Never thought I'd say that, but now I have.
Overall, life for the most part is very good. There are a couple things throughout the summer I'm not looking forward to, but. I try not to think about the negative.
I'm off to have memorial day breakfast with the family here at home! I miss you all!

Randomness #2
I hate waking up. :P
‘Getting up in the morning has never been easy for me. Why should I be the only one to suffer?’ These are my thoughts as I throw my pillow at the unfortunate person who has the death sentence of waking me up. When I hear the footsteps retreat, I smile and full my fleece blanket up around my face. Ha. I win. Eventually I feel guilty and decide to get up and apologize to the unlucky victim. I say sorry to two members of my family before I find the actual one. I the grudgingly get dressed and grab some breakfast. In mid-meal, I realize I’m absolutely freezing, so I grab a think blanket to wrap around me and start heading back to the table but then I stop in my tracks as the couch beckons me. I give in, and drift off into a deep sleep, knowing this time, I don’t have a pillow to defend me from the waking world.

Hmm. Being a teenager is extremely lame and over dramatic and hectic.
Crazy week.
Now I'm just so tired. I'm glad I can write on my blog... It helps me. Sorry for leaving you hanging, but I don't really want to write about what MADE me in a bad mood. So yeah. I miss you guys! I miss familyyy! It's been great being here with just Nikol. I love the parents, but I've gotten to talk to her a lot. Muy divertido. :) So now I'm just making a random post dedicated to how awesome possum you guys are. You basically make up all the awesome parts of me. Love you guys sooooooooooo much!

Tid Bit of Randomness From Aubrey #1
I dunno what this is about... I guess I kinda want to steal Amy's idea of having a weekly thing goin' on. Maybe in will motivate me to post. But I won't put weekly. That's too much pressure. I think for the most part these are things that I've written. I have a lot of these little paragraphs of randomness. Enjoy.
---
“When I was your age…” OH NO. Those words. Those world automatically put my mind on screensaver. Wait- did they even have screensavers back then? I ponder these things as I half-listen to an old woman drone on about the past. How did those people exist without iPods, computers, and idiotic superstars to make fun of? I go through a list of every helper, every electronic device, every this-will-make-your-life-so-much-easier-once-you-understand-how-to-use-it-knick-knack and decide that all the 12-language instructions and do-it-yourself manuals may be a cause of brain cancer.

Robsons! :D
The Robsons came! It was mucho fun!! Not much to say. We dressed up Skylar and Justin like girls. We tried to dress up Jake, but he refused to do it, so we locked him outside for two hours. :) What good baby sitters we are!
We also went to the boardwalk and got sunburned! YUS!
Don't worry. Pictures are to come!
Nothing much besides that has happened... I've just been going around school surviving, having too many test to count... But I now embrace Spring Break with open arms! Sleeping in is AMAZING.
I've been trying to update my blog more often. Aren't you proud? :D

Oh, Amy, I love you!
I love you right now, Amy. I mean, I've always loved you, and I always will, but right now, you're especially awesome.
I was in a really bad mood earlier.
I mean, a really bad mood.
And I was praying I could find something to help me get into a better mood, and I had this feeling to go through that one file cabinet with all my old stuff.
And I found letters.
Letter that you had written to me when I was two years old. And that was the answer to my prayers.
April 17, 1996
Dear Aubrey, It's nothing fancy but I've wanted to start your journal for you. You are almost two. You call Ryan Robbie, Nicole- gaga, Amy- meme. You can point to your nose, eyes, ears, hair, head, fingers, toes, tummy, but your favorite is your eyebrows. When you point to your head, you hit it and say ow. The cutest is when you see something gross you saw "ewww"! You LOVE to play outside and your favorite people are probably Mom, Nicole, and Laura and Thomas Prusso (our next door neighbors). In church you always run to Sister Prusso's lap. You like to say "mea" or "nye" which translated means "mean" and "nice". Sometimes (well actually- all the time) Nicole and I turn on the Disney Classics casette tape and we dance with you. We teach you all kinds of dances like "headbanging", the "cha-cha", the "cabbage patch" and all sorts of things.
You are totally cuddly and love to give hugs and kisses and you never leave anyone out. When someone comes home, you run to them with your arms outstretched to give that person a huge hug. You've cheered me up so many times. I always call you "Babe" or "Babes". You're so much fun. I don't know what we would do without you. I'm so sad that I'll be going away to college when your only 4 or 5. I won't get to see you grow up. But I'll leave his for you to read so you know how much I love you.
Love,
Amy
What an amazing sister you are! You and Nicole and Andrea are amazing influences to me. I feel bad for those girls without older sisters. :) They're missing out BIG TIME.
There are two other letters, and I might type them up when I get time, but now I have to go.

Love,
Amy
What an amazing sister you are! You and Nicole and Andrea are amazing influences to me. I feel bad for those girls without older sisters. :) They're missing out BIG TIME.
There are two other letters, and I might type them up when I get time, but now I have to go.

DISNEYLAND. Stupid guys. 3rd Trimester.
Yes, folks! I went to Disneyland two weekends ago! It was AMAZING.I went on all the big rides. Even Space Moutain. And I loved them all. EXCEPT Space Mountain. :) I'm now a Disneyland-aholic.I loveloveloveloved Splash Mountain and Indiana Jones. We went on Splash Mountain seven times in a row- ten in one day- thirteen times the whole trip! Woo!
We went for a choir competition. We one Silver by a point! Grr! All the other groups got gold. But we did pretty well, especially for a Concert Choir. G (the choir teacher) was so proud of us. I love that man! :) He went on Pirates of the Caribbean with me and we sang our pirate song that we learned in choir.
Oh by the way, here are the links to our performances! (Not the ones in Disneyland, but our Winter Concert.)

Of course, there was drama on the trip. A guy named Kyle being really perverted to me on the last day at Disneyland. However, through a course of crazy, confusing events, he got kicked out of choir and I never have to deal with him again! I see him around campus sometimes, but I never have to talk to him. And he's a senior, so he'll graduate next year. Phew.
The day after we got home from the happiest place on earth, we started a new trimester! My classes are boring, especially my first two, Geometry and Bio. Health is fun though. All you do is talk about yourself. :) And choir is good. For the first week after Disneyland, I kept thinking Kyle was going to come back, so I couldn't enjoy the time, but last Monday it was confirmed that he got kicked out of the class. Since then, it's been great. We're singing a song by STYX called Come Sail Away, and a song from one of the best musicals EVER, Urinetown!
I'm lucky. I have friends in all my classes. One of my very very very best friends at LHS, Cassandra Hiner, is in two of my classes. And, all my teachers are good, except for Mrs. Haugen. But you know, it's alright. She's just boring.
And that's the lowndown of my life right now. It's basically good right now. Lot's of fun with friends. Peter Nyholm and I have a war going on right now. So with that and all the ther crazy stuff me and my friends do, I think I'l be looking back at Freshmen year fondly...
Though I guess I can't say anything yet. There's still two and a half months or so...

I LIVE.
I'm actually writing after... almost 4 months! Holy cow. I've just been extremely busy. I started my 2nd trimester of High School. It's pretty fun. I have too many amazing friends to count. Here's an over view of all my classes:
Spanish- Mrs. Garza is my teacher and she is an amazing woman! She's so nice and funny and knows exactly how to control the bad kids. A great teacher. She gets in all these prank wars though. It's funny. One day we walked into our classroom- or tried to- and there were over 1,000 dixie cup coving the floor, each one filled with water. WE had to clean every single one up. It was a prank pulled by Briant Jacobs and his friend! She loved it and thought it was hilarious. It's a fun class. Also, I have a really good friend, Cassandra Hiner in that class. But I have her in 3 classes, so you know...
English- Ms. Hanson is my teacher, and even though I'm sure Susan Pfiefer is an AWESOME teacher, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ms. Hanson more than anything! She's this cute little lady who has funny sayings like "orange peels" (random thoughts) and stuff. We do daily writes every day (free writes) and I love this. I might write one down later. Cassi is also in this class along with tons of other friends. That whole class is super close.
Social Science- So basically my first three classes are AMAZING. I was stupid and took HONORS SOCIAL SCIENCE, and it's extremely challenging, but it's worth it. This class is like FAMILY. I have all my really good friends in it like Brooke Lari, Anissa Tran, Emilie Weidenmeyer, Nate Preece and Pooja Shroff, and tons of other awesome people. There's also a guy named Christian who is seriously hilarious. It's an aweeesome class! Our teacher is also really down to earth. She handles all our craziness.
LUNCH- funnest thing ever. The end.
Choir- I bet you'd expect for this to be my favorite class, right? Wrong. It's my least favorite! Sadly. I'm a TENOR. The choir teacher is hilarious (his name is "G"), but we are only learning 3 SUPER easy songs, and I don't get along with the people... It's not too great. I'm doing choir next year because I would ranther get a hard class out of the way. I would keep doing it if I LOVE LOVED it, but tragically, I don't... :( At all.
PE- This class was really bad for a while. But then it got better, and then it got really creepy for a while. My PE teacher really scared me for a bit. I would come home to Mom with some stories that probably scared her out of her wits and got her protective mother mode on. But now we've decided that he's just really really really really REALLY friendly... Yeah. But the one good thing is that this class is never boring. For example, today I was walking with my friends to the locker room, and this girl, Kenzie, was saying to my friend Cassi about how we look alike. But then, this guy behind us heard us and thought that Kenzie was talking to HIM. And this guy was a 6'3"black guy with short dreads, sunglasses, baggy clothes and a general scary attitude. So it was super funny. Eventually I started talking to him and he's awesome. Now he's my "bodyguard". :) It's great fun.
So for the most part, school is good for me. I just got a 94/100 on an essay that most people got Ds on and I aced my Romeo and Juliet project. Woo.
