Well I was just looking at a post from last may and I had a "15 weird things I've done in the last 15 years." So I think I should make a new one! 16 weird things I've done in the last year. :)
1. Put fake cockroaches in the dorm shower
2. Put grease and salt on the dorms toilet seat
3. Sprayed someones room with axe
4. Dressed Muslim in the airport to see what reaction I got
5. Climbed a coconut tree in Hawaii
6. Fell out of a coconut tree in Hawaii. ;)
7. Ate dirt in the carrot field
8. Dyed part of my hair green.
9. Drove a bobcat and hit a trailer with it.
10.Drove a riding lawn mower and hit a tree
11.Drifted around a corner on a lawn mower, then it got stuck...
12. Got my leg stuck in a tree while pruning it and had to have my boss pull me out.
13. Got stuck on the dock in the pond cause I didn't want to jump back in the freezing April water, then got "rescued" by Mr James and a guy in my class. Ended up just jumping in out of pure embarrassment.
14. Joined a country band and went around campus serenading staff homes.
15. Was running in snow on a camp out and fell in...all the way with my hands sticking out.
16. After 6 years of growing my hair out...I cut it all off.

This should totally be an all girls school...
Had the most AMAZING weekend ever! There was absolutely no guys on campus! Girls free time all weekend!!! We had a blast! We made a little band with all kinds of impromptu instruments including a jug of popcorn, a Jones bottle, and a breadbasket made of chicken wire and a spoon. I'll post a picture later, :P. Then last night Rosa suggested a "fashion Show" I deceided that it was suddenly past my bedtime until she explained the rules. She would make a bunch of wacky color combo's or prints and then number them off and we'd all get one. And we only had 15 minutes to get it all together, the object of the game was to be wacky. I drew all black so of course I HAD to play! So I put on a leather matrix style trench coat, a fedora, sunglasses, and black shirt and pants, then for effect I drew on a mustache and goatee with eye liner. Everybody said I looked like Johnny Depp and was extremely freaked out! Bur Rosa made me wash the mustache off...:( But not to fear! I have a picture! :P We had quite the weekend! And I still managed to clean my room and write 2 essays today! And now I'm off to practice my 90 minutes! I bid you farewell!

I miss being a mom!
Well I was just thinking today how sad it is how many people I've lost contact with since coming to Fountainview! Like my childhood best friend that I'd had since I was a baby, anyway I decided to reminisce! I WANNA BE A KID! It was so darn fun! Right now I want nothing more then to be in 8th grade again, in my kitchen making a sandwich with mustard, pickles and cheese, with my little brothers screaming in the background about Mario kart. And going for motorcycle rides with daddy, and playing in the sprinklers with my dogs, and having all my girls follow me as I do the shopping for their lunch. I miss my kids! I miss being a mommy to 50 girls!

Utter insanity
Ya know what I really want right now? Cookie dough....I'm craving that yummyness like crazy! It's raining outside, and I'm working campus....that should be um...fun in the rain. I'm not really sure why I'm blogging right now since I clearly have nothing dreadfully important to say but I'm just so darn bored! We're in Bible class but Mr hinds is in a meeting so we have a free period to work on our essay and changy is supervising us. I've spent the past hour looking at cookie dough recipes with Saraiah and looking at weird news articles about some guys robbing some presidents grave....like I said weird! And then I googled weird laws! Did you know that it is illegal to get a fish drunk?! It's also illegal to let donkeys sleep in bathtubs! And when I was thouroghly fed up with weird laws I made a yahho vs. Goggle war! I typed in Moriah is___ in both and this is what google said: Pregnant, fat, having twins, and amazing. Yahoo said: Mt Moriah Golgotha.....I think even though Google was slightly offensive it wins!
Ok I must apologize for the utter randomness of this blog post, I'm going through cookie dough withdraws!

What If I Died Today?
A thought came to my mind today, what if I had died today? Not to be morbid or anything, but what would I leave behind? What will people say about me after I'm dead? Am I a person who has made a difference in the world and in peoples lives? Or did I just live for myself and whatever was fun for me.
Here's a scenario, not saying it happened or didn't happen.
Lets say I was taking a walk right? And I go down by the sawmill right after it rained and stand on the log right on the cliff edge, the log was kinda slippery because it was wet. Lets say I slipped and caught myself just in time.
I think I have a pretty good grasp on reality as of lately. I dont want to leave behind the legacy I currently have. It's not that it's bad, but it's not really the best either. I keep thinking to myself all the things I'll do after I graduate, or after I get a better job or later in life. But what if I had died today? None of those things would have mattered because I never would have done them.
I need to live in now, I want to make a difference today, I want people to remember me as someone who loved Jesus with all my heart and did my best to share with others about him.

Growing up
Today was an interesting day to be sure, I worked science lab planting the garden. Then for the next to classes we took our class pictures at the bone yard, then for the last class Johnny taught us how to make rope and I made a fire in class by rubbing a stick! It was awesome! Then the ABC truck came and me and Saraiah bought veggie meat!
Yesterday me and Morgan were talking during study hall about growing up, it just now hit me that my childhood is over! I've left home for good, there's no going back, no more blissful days of fishing, playing tag with my brothers and picnics with my dolls. I wish I could go back, it's weird how when your a kid you look forward to growing up and "doing whatever you want" but then when you reach the age you've always wanted to be you wish you could be a kid again. I remember saying to my sister that when I turned 16 I was gonna drive to walmart all by myself and by a bottle of sprite and a container of whipped cream and eat it with a spoon. That was my definition of growing up, doing what I wanted. But now that I can buy what I want I've discovered that I hate spending money! Now that daddy's magic money tree died, I guess I just realized the value of money, and the wastefulness it would be to buy whip cream with my money. I also learn to make my clothes last longer, when I was younger I would rip every pair of jeans I had by climbing trees or jumping off barn lofts or riding my horse and falling off! I still do those things, and i still rip my pants on occasion :P but the difference is that now I have to patch them myself. SO now I'm a lot easier on my clothes! The most important thing I've learned in the past year is the value of Bible study. I always read my Bible before but I never actually studied it, I just read it so I could check devotions off my list of things to do. Where as now I find myself excited about what I'm learning, and actually anticipating the next time I can find a quiet spot to read it. It's so amazing how God has been changing me! I'm not the same person I was when I came to Fountainview, I still have a looooong ways to go, but by Gods grace I'll get there slowly, day by day.

For Mom
HAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPYY MMMMMMMMMMOOOOOTTTTTHHHHHHEEEEERRRRRRRS DDAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! :)
I really wish I could be in Turkey with you guys, it sounds a lot funner then Canada. Anyway, I wanted to give you a song I wrote for you but I guess I'll wait till this Summer. So for now I'll
I almost remember being born I've heard the story so many times, I remember being little and asking to hear it again and again because I was so sure I was adopted because I looked nothing like Megan. I remember how you and Daddy tried to get me that mean ole Emu for like my 4th birthday, and then a llama. I'm not sure how you guys thought up those wacky gifts but I loved every one of them! Like when I was 12 and you guys planted that donkey in my room with a big red bow.
I also remember the discipline though, I think I got quite a few spankings in those 13 years! I'm sure I probably deserved it most of the time, and you probably didnt know this but when I was about 3 or 4 and me and Megan both got a spanking I put on about 4 pairs of pants and I remember she was crying her head off and I let out a small whimper and you thought I was such a good little kid and told Megan to look how well her sister was behaving! Hehehe...
And I remember how much you put up with when me and Todi were in 6th grade, all the noise and neopets, letting us have a graveyard for all the dead lizards and mice in the backyard, my noisy barking dog who caught that hedgehog, me and Megan making that boat to float down that gross sewer river. And then in 8th grade all the web shows you let us do, I never realized how noisy of a kid I was till just now! And I remember watching the olympics and telling you I wanted to be in them some day so I started running up and down the stairs and around the house during commercial breaks at mima's house. And you told me that I could do it if I trained hard enough. ANd rememebr when I was into ballet? You came to every "show" me and my dolls put on and dragged the rest of the family along with you. Or when I wanted to be a chef and made those chocolate noodles with raisins and cinnamon! You were the only one who would try it.
There's a really stupid bird bouncing off the window over and over again right now...anyway!
But you know the thing that impacted me most, is after that last thing happened with the you know who in Albania, when I told you I didn't want to live like this anymore, and I wanted to be safe. I was totally expecting you to say that I was safe in the house and that I was overreacting or something. But you said OK, and told me I could go back with Megan to America. And that day when I left, April 21 2010....I wasnt expecting to cry, it wasnt a big deal, I was leaving just like Megan had 4 years before me, but then you cried I wasnt expeting you to cry either, I guess if I would have thougth about it I would have expected it but I didn't. And when you cried I suddenly realized what was happening and that I wouldn't see you again for who knows how long. ANyway what I'm trying to say I guess is that I love you lots and I appreciate all that you've done for me even the spankings, I know I always said I would never say that but I do appreciate it. I really wish we would have had more time together growing up, you were always so busy since I turned 9, you were still there but not as much as I wanted. and then I left when I was 15 so you didn't get to deal with most of my teen years. But I'm still glad I got to spend most of my 15 years at home with you. I never was good at presents, I gave dad a toilet paper tube with noodles stuck to it that said pirate for fathers day, and I gave Megan hairspray one Christmas. But I hope that this was a good present, and that you have a great mothers day! And you still have Megan there so at least you'll have one of us!

What a LIFE!
Oh my word! What a day! What a week! What a life! :)
Lots of weird things happened today...like for example, me and Julie were cleaning the guys bathrooms and she grabbed the feather duster and hit me in the head with it, so I grabbed the plunger and we had an awesome duel! But sadly christian came along with his camera about then and....yeah. Then one of the Juniors came out to tell us that they were taking a test and could hear our screeching quite clearly. That was embarrassing....
But on the brighter side of things I just finished my English test! Which means I have NO HOMEWORK! For the first time in months! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Oh by the way festival of rejoicing is this sabbath night at either 6:30 or 7:00 my time, and it's gonna be streaming live on ustream so if you wanna watch type festival of rejoicing into the search bar. :) But then again....might be a bad idea....hehe I'm singing with a group of my friends and we haven't started practicing yet and it's tomorrow so...yeah be warned! But I'm confident that if need be God will shut your ears! :) Anyway I need to get going because it's Friday and I have a ton to do! Luv ya'll! Pafshim!

My prince charming!
Today was a really fun day! :) We got all morning off since we were on tour this weekend so I got to get some homework done. OOO! And we took the campus picture today! *grins* And they rearranged the caf it looks SO good! We had a bible test today and I aced it. :) Praise God! And now I have homework due on everyday this week plus a presentation in class on Wednesday. But my theory is to get all the homework done tonight so that when everyone else is stressing I'll be able to go to bed early. And Mama and Daddy are in Turkey right now so I really hope I get to talk to them soon!
I made a new years resolution...except it's a "starting May 1st resolution!" I need to look on the positive side of things more. When I'm homesick I cant go home so I might as well make the best of it here. I guess I just realized that I need to stop worrying about things that are out of my control.
On another note, Craig brought his puppy's to choir! THEY ARE SO CUTE! I got to hold one of them! He was wrinkly and tan and adorable! Officially my prince charming! But I had to give my prince up pretty fast cause he was popular! In the first minute I had him there was a 5 person line to hold him! :P Guess that's the price ya gotta pay for having the cutest prince charming in the world! ;)

Bye Bye Hair! I'll miss you.
Oh my goodness.... I did something that I'll either regret or love for the next 3 years. I cut my hair. I dont mean like last time where I got a little trim, I mean I cut it... I didn't mean to! I was just getting a trim but then I tilted my head or something and it got cut shorter on one side so she had to even it out and it just kept getting shorter! I haven't had it this short since I was 11. I'll post a picture this afternoon. I couldn't decide whether I liked it or I was gonna cry, so I decided since there's nothing I can do about it now I might as well like it! SO I do! :) It's a lot easier to handle....I have'nt gone to school yet with it so I think I'm gonna get some....shock. :P
