Wow

I'm posting from the UK! I can't even believe it myself. I would upload pics but I'm not sure I could do it. Everyone here speaks British. It is crazy. Okay here's a list of a few British words we've picked up while here.

1. Posh (how people in southern england speak)
2. Vicor (not sure)
3. Byrd (lady)
4. Bloke (dude)
5. Batty boy or bummer ( not repeatable but i think you get the idea)
6. Pants (underwear-we made some big mistakes here the first day)

There are so many others that i will let you know when i get as soon as i get back. I'm coming to school on wednesday but I have no idea how I will be considering I will have just flown accross the Atlantic. I went to Durham Cathedral today where we stood where they filmed some Harry Potter scenes. So there's many a picture of me in my gryfindor scarf, feeling like Ron. We are going to Scotland on Monday and I should hope to see some redheads there. Pray that we have a safve flight home and that I sleep on it. Also I apologize if any of us sound really annoying we when get home 'cuase this accent thing picks up easy when the people can't understand American. so posh!

Soaring high

So it's finally finished. I had my Eagle Court of Honor today and many of you guys came and supported. I really appreciated that, more than words can express. It was far more emotional than I had anticipated but of course there I was sitting on a stool in front of twenty crying people and I had not one tear in my eye nor anything really to say. So typical! Next time I really feel like crying I going to bring packets of water the squirt in my eyes so that way I can join the normal people who get, what do you call it, oh yeah, emotional. I am so very proud of our forensics team mainly becuase we won 1st in sweepstakes this weekend at the Cookeville Invitational. I am very happy that we have such an awesome team that is not only talented but also good looking. I found the funnies thing since sliced bread. Broccoli on a knife! Try it, you'll laugh out loud. I'm leaving for England in less than two weeks and I am somewhat terrified. Pray for me and our team as we prepare to cross the pond and talk to scary British kids.

Love over the edge

Just an update. Coldplay was stinkin' amazing. I'm just now coming off of the high it gave me, no my friends not pot, Chris Martin. I've got so much tarea de espanol hacer it's redulas. hah. FYI I'm totally shadowing Mr. Seth Worley for career day.

Okay just to update me obsession. Check out this site and watch these trailers. They are freakin amazing.

The Red Coats are Coming!

I'm totally obsessed right now and it's not healthy at all! This year has been an overload of everything British. In English IV, the whole curiculum is based on British literature. I decided to finally get caught up with Harry Potter and it has oficially temperarily taken over my life. Not to metion I just happen to be going to England on a mission trip in October. So I might actually implode from the Rowling, to Shakespear, to Beowulf, to the Goblet of Fire movie coming out in November. What in the blazes is going on here.?

Going Postally Insane!

An update on the passport issue. I went back in to apply again and low and behold the same ladies were there and ofcourse two humans such as mom and myself stick out rather awkwardly with out flamboyent red hair. The ladies remembered us and most likely my outrage and gave us looks of disgust. I then realized I was wearing the exact same shirt and pants I had worn the previous time I was in this post office. So not only does this woman think I'm a snotty teenager, she also thinks I don't bathe or change clothes or know my right from my left. This next part is the best. When signing for a passport to have to take and oath and living in the world that we do you have to raise your RIGHT HAND. Obviously I was too buisy making sure the other lady knew I was still mad at her, to pay attention, so I raised my left hand and said "yeah, what?" I'M LEFT HANDED, IT'S THE ONE I USE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLEDGE AND OATH WITH IT! By this point I looked like a complete idiot and I"m sure my passport with get lost in the mail by "accident." Yeah and hurricane Katrina is a baller!

Now Latoya Jackson will pray for Pitoria.




"Rub a dub dub,
Thanks for the grub
Yay, God!"

----Latoya Jackson everyone

Going Postal!

It is now official that I hate the postal service of America. My mom and I went today to get my passport. You have to go to Franklin to get it 'cause that's the only place they allow you to get it in Williamson Co. so ofcourse it's out of the way. We had to go to Walgreens to pick up my pictures for the passport and that took like 20 minutes. Then we got to the post office and the lady told us very sweetly, "we don't do passports after four" I thought "what the crap?!" she said that although the office was open till five they had decided to only allow passports 'till four. It was only four-twenty and they still would take out application. I told that lady that I had to go to school for seven hours and day and that since the government controlled both the post office and the school system that I would expect a note for the postal service allowing me to miss school for such an occasion. She laughed and said "I have to go to work too" I growled and stormed out yelling, so she could hear me, "Yay for gas prices, yay post office, go government." I am thoroughly upset by all this and I have the government at the moment, or at least the post office branch.

Shrunken Brain

Hey this is what my lovesac looked like when I first got it. It's so appitizing. Now I use it for extensive Harry Potter reading.

VICTORY!

Well, folks. It finally happened. The cable man finally came and my family is now blessed with high speed internet. Yes. It's true I've been behing the times forever. But now i can watch trailors and movies and steal music even faster. Just kidding. I would never steal music. I let my friends do that. And a week of school is almost over and Senior year has begun. But as my dear friend Lauren Sampsell loves to remind me, "No one cares about your life that much." This is how she feels about blogs and the fact that we share pointless information about our lives. I like it anyways.

It's that time again.

I am at work right now which obviously means blogging time. I officially start school in three days which means the end of life as we know it once again. I am thoroughly excited about the theater classes and math(?) but as for english....... well I haven't really finished summer reading becuase Harry Potter has really taken over my life hopefully i can get a pic of me reading in my lovesac. The book matches my cover. No I didn't set that up it just happened by luck. I apologize for the extremely boring post.

Ofcourse I want to share my very own vegetables with you, the world, but I can't becuase of technical stupidity, Hello. SO I google searched veggies and got this wonderful bouquet of veggies to enjoy.

Into the Woods

It's good to know that you always have to people to fall back on. People who are there to build you and and remind you that you matter. Tonight the Chicago team go back together at the infamous Baker residence to catch up and look a pics. It was good to reconnect( in the words of Jay Strother) with the people I had gotton to know so well last week. It is really comforting to know that people in your family care and they are there to be just that, family. I want to let everyone know how ironic I think life is. I believe that God created irony and uses it on a day to day basis just to mess with us. As a four year veteren of the RHS forensics team I have led the raptors in our black and red tees to boo Brentwood, but as fate would have it, I am now increasingly interested in UCLA, home of 30,000 students and the blue and gold Bruin! What are the odds? Apparently better that I thought.

We're Baaaaack!

It is a bitter sweet reunion with home. It is amazing to me how much God can do in one lifetime let alon a week. I now feel better prepared to tackle this last year. And I now know that even though I'm not sure where I will go to school next year I will be placed exactly where I should be. I am also amazed at the sheer grandure of not only Chicago but the world. (once again) For a city so beautiful and so large it is still very small and lost to God. "For I know the plans I have for you, to prosper you not to harm you." And on top of all that I managed to not loose my CD's or my Bible.

LORD OF MERCY AND GRACE. THANK YOU. This is pretty much the best thing that has ever happened to me. After the Sound of Music I was sure to get a picture with my two favorite nuns Catherine and Jordan. I think my life is now complete after I not only posed with nuns but got kissed BY TWO at the same time. Thank you everone at the make a wish foundation for making this lifelong dream come true. 

This is a sad day for humanity. As Seth ends his blogs he ends a little peice of everyones blog. Even for those of us who weren't links on his blog, we depended on his to keep us going. Now I think aliens really will come to earth and extenguish us.

Today is our country's birthday and today is also the day where my family pays homage to its Carni heritage. So we are taking our talents to Crockett park to raise money for the good ole Forensics team. So if Cotton Candy and Sno Kones are your things than come and enjoy the benifites of the Carni way of life.

War of the Bats

What a great Thursday! I saw War of the Worlds and Batman. How awesome? Well Speilberg managed to scare the crap out of me again. Like I might putWOTW a few spaces below Jurassic Park in scariness. Even E.T. scared me! But not A.I. I stood strong in that one. I think it's going to be several weeks before I stop surveying the mountains for tripods. And I just want to say that the basement scene was genious and pretty much the scariest thing this side of the Mississippi. As for Batman, I totally loved it. I apologize for not giving him enough credit. He kicks. But my question is, will there be another Bat movie from this guy? I mean last time I checked there were 52 cards in a deck and we only got one in the end.
