Today a big group of people from my church went to the Mariners game against the Rockies. :) It was much better than the last game I went to against the Devil Rays. Some of us met at church to carpool to the game and we had a little betting contest. You had to predict who would hit the first home run of the game and what the final score would be. I put down Wilson(catcher) for the homer and then 3-2 in favor of the Mariners. Well, it started out terribly for me because Wilson wasn't playing today. lmao Just my luck right? Yeah, well, the game was really good though and the Mariners actually got two home runs. The first was Olerud(sp?) and the second was Sierra(sp? again). There were also two really great plays today too. It's kinda hard to describe them, but trust me, they were both seriously awesome. lol Anyway, it gets to the 7th inning and the score is 3-2 in favor of the Mariners! WOO!! Looked like I was actually going to be right for once! But is that the way it ended in the 9th?? NO! The stupid Mariners had to start giving up and let two runs go in and the Rockies won, 4-3. Gar. Cameron could have caught that first fly ball too if he would have actually ran instead of jogged and then they would have won, but noooo... had to be stupid and lazy and the rest of the team did the same. Blah. I really should have known better than to think they could have actually won. The Mariners have never won a game I've been to and the Thunderbirds(hockey) have never won any games of their's I've been to either. Well, I can't quite remember the outcome of the first hockey game of their's I went to, so maybe they actually won that one, but I highly doubt it. This clinches it... I'm a jinx. I didn't even win anything at the BBQ after the game! lol I knew I wasn't going to anyway though. You know, you'd think that because I'm a quarter Irish, my luck would be better, but there must be something else in me that's causing bad luck with these things. Ah well, God always does nice things for me though when it really matters(like 6th row floor for BSB last October. lmao) Humm... guess that's it for tonight. I'm probably going to go watch a movie in a bit or something. G'night!

All right! Another new Nick song! Keep 'em coming baby! ;) Click here to listen to it on backstreet.net, or there's also a link to download it. I guess It's called "Help Me." I love it. :) The lyrics are really deep too. Anyway, it's some darn good stuff so I encourage you all to go and check it out! :) Oh, and Sam posted the lyrics(or what can be understood from the song anyway, lol) on Come Out To Play. :)
Well, this week has deffinately been... interesting. lmao Mostly because on... let's see, Monday, Autumn and I were chatting on the phone and then this prank call that I got in 10th grade just kinda came up. We were talking about it and Autumn asked if I still had the number since I'd *69ed them after the call. Well, I told her I'd look for it and call her back after she'd had time to eat dinner. So, I search through my room and just as I've given up, I check once more place and what do you know, there it is! lmao So, I do a reverse number lookup on the net before I give Autumn a ring and the last name is different... humm, wonder if now we'll know who the people who live there are. Well, I called Autumn and I told her the last name and guess what? We DO know who it is! So yeah, now I know who did it, but everthing is still completely unclear as to why seeing that this chick only knew me on a passing in the hall saying hello basis and she was friends with my friend Tammy. But yeah, she did, and I've a darn good idea of who the guy that actually called was. Could be wrong though, I've been known to be wrong about things before. But yeah, hopefully at some point I'll find out why. This chick though is seriously messed up because she's done this same type of thing more than once! Tammy told me she did it to one of her best friends and caused her to come to school in tears. Poor messed up little girl.
Autumn spent the night on Tuesday and we watched Young Ivanhoe. :) She said she liked it. On Wednesday we met up with two of the people from our movement class to do another movie thing and we saw Lilo & Stitch. It was cute n' all, but I think I would have rather seen Minority Report. Oh well. Then we went to Target and I was all excited 'cause I was going to get my red hair dye and the purse that I've been wanting was marked down, but then I realized, I didn't have enough money to buy anything at all! *sigh* I've gotta get another job asap if I'm going to have any money to spend while I'm in Cali this summer. At least for the whole first week I won't really have an opportunity to spend any of it 'cause I'll be camping, so maybe I'll still have enough to do a theme park and some other fun stuff.
Tammy came over on Wednesday night. I hadn't seen her for a LONG time so that was cool. She didn't hang around too long though 'cause she had to leave early in the morning, but at least I got to see her for a bit and we chatted some. After she left I went to my room to go back to sleep and slept for half the day. lmao I slept for half the day again this morning too. It's my natural summer habbit to stay up really late and sleep in for a long time. I watched Babes in Toyland last night. lol I hadn't watched it for a while so I figured, why not, right? Man, the acting in that movie is, well, not the best I've seen, but it's old so it's expected. ;) Blah, I think that's it. I haven't been doing much of anything lately. This next week I'm only working one day too 'cause it's the 4th of July week and my boss said it's always dead during that time. That won't help me with getting more money. Gar. I wish there were some more opportunities of places to work around here besides fast food. Okay, well, enough of all of that. Perhaps something interesting will happen today and I'll post more later, but then again, maybe not. lol TTFN!

New layout over at shininstar.net. :) It's really simple. I didn't exactly know what I wanted so I took my fav pic of Kevin and stuck on a grid then some filtered orange stuff and deleted some of the boxes... and yeah, there you have it. lol
My aunt and uncle should be here pretty soon. They're gonna stay here for a few days for a visit. :) It should be nice. I won't see them much tomorrow or Tuesday though since that's when I work. I'll probably see them when I go down to California this summer though. I'm so excited for it!! :D I get to go camping with my cousins and Steven might even show up. I haven't seen him for quite a while, nor have we talked. My mom sometimes tells me that when I was just a baby, he and I had some sort of special way of communicating and we were the best of buds. Anyway, I haven't seen him(or his brother and sister) for at least like three years, probably more than that.
Yesterday was fun. lol I woke up around 2pm, scrubed out the kitty litter box, dusted, cleaned the bath tub, etc. By the time all that was done it was around 7pm and that's when I finally took my shower. Finally logged on to the net around 8pm or something. What a fun day I had. lol Between cleaning and sneezing, how could I not right? lol Nah, it wasn't that terrible, but I am glad that it's all done. Blah, I have to clean my room sometime pretty soon though. We've gotta get our house ready to sell so I get to help with cleaning EVERYTHING. Dang, it wasn't my idea to sell our house and get a new one built! lmao We're only moving a few miles away though. lol Just off the next freeway exit. My mom just decided that she wanted a new house with a bigger kitchen. I'm cool with it all though and the kitchen's going to be huge and there's a big island in it so that makes me happy! lol Not sure I like how my room will be, but I get my own bathroom so that'll be good I guess. You know, whatever. lol All righty, off I go to... to... I don't know, do something! Hehehe. TTFN!

Okay, guess who just spent like the last hour adding members one at a time to the new setup with megabook at her Erik von Detten fanlisting? Yeah, that'd be me. I'm finally done though at least and that thing is all updated like it should be. :) I think there still might be some people that are listed more than once, but at least I got rid of all the ones with the same e-mail and/or site listed more than once... I think. lol
Young Ivanhoe came today so I watched that earlier! :) It's not the most well done movie ever, but I love it. :) It was funny though when I was watching it earlier because I noticed the way that they talked is not the way that people would have been talking back around the time of Robin Hood and the Black Knight. lol I want to learn how to htow a dagger like Rowina(sp?) though! That'd be so freakin' cool! One of these times when I'm down in Cali I'm going to buy one from Medieval Times 'cause they've got a whole bunch of freakin' cool ones. :) I don't think they're that expensive either, just around a couple of hundred dollars(and yes, I would spend that much money on an authentic daggar or sword). I don't think I'll have the money to get it this summer though, but maybe next. Humm... I wonder if they'd let me bring it back on the plane with me though... lol
Humm... that's it for now except for a reminder to go check out All My Love. :) Especially since I just added a new Nick wallpaper today in both 800x600 and 1024x768. :D I think it looks spiffin'. Anyway, g'night all!

I'm gonna give you, ALL MY LOVE, shoo do wap, bop!
First off, just a note that I've moved all the files for everything on shininstar.net to the new server so next time whois is updated you should start to notice things being nice and actually working! :D Exciting, I know. ;)
I got all of my final grades today. They're listed here along with the classes I'll be taking in the fall. I'm all right with all my grades I guess. I was originally slightly peeved about my movement grade, but then it was explained to me why I got that and it's because I forgot to excuse one of my absences. I didn't really think that it would matter if I did or did not excuse them, but apparently it did. Oh well. It's still a B. Oh, and I got my C in history, only it's got a minus tagged to the end of it. Hum... my music grade has a minus tagged to it too. Makes it all seem very negative, but it's really not at all bad.
Okay, I woke up a few hours ago and I haven't eaten yet and I'm starting to feel it. Left-over mac n' cheese, here I come!

I feel like crap right now. Probably means that I should be in bed asleep right now, but I didn't get to play on my comp at all until like 10pm so I need to get it in. I'm sure you all are dying to hear that I've got a headache, have a bit of the chills, and feel like I'm going to throw up. lmao I know some of you will be glad to hear this though: I've finally given up on stupid HOSTurbo and have purchased some new space for shininstar.net. :D All the URLs will stay the same, but nothing will be working again until a few days from now after my account is setup and the DNS settings have been updated. At least hopefully after that I won't be having 50 million problems with my sites being up. That will be nice. :) Anyway, I think I'm going to just throw myself into bed now and get some sleep. G'night.

Wow, look who was bad and didn't post for a long time again. lol Sorry. I remember, but decide I'm too lazy and don't end up posting. Yes, I realize that I'm a dork. ;) lol Humm... I don't remember what happened on Friday, nor do I remember what happened on Saturday. Sunday I know I went to church and we worked on the temple again(we're building a to-scale model of Solomon's Temple) and then I came home and watched Kate and Leopold. That's a very cute movie. :) That's all I can remember about Sunday. Yesterday I went to work and got off early. I came home to find that, shock, both the messages on the answering machine were for me! I was invited to go with some of the other people from movement class to go and see The Bourne Identity. Turns out that I got home just in time to leave and drive to the theatre. lol It was very good and I'm seeing it again tomorrow for Jana's b-day party. lmao I never really liked Matt Damon, but after that movie, I suddenly find that I have a bit of a thing for him! lol He's got the laugh lines on his eyes and I'm a sucker for those. ;) Anyway, after the movie we went to Red Robin's and my table ordered pretty much nothing because none of us were hungry so I whipped out my trusty deck of cards that I always keep in my purse and we played B.S. and then Kings, which I hadn't played forever. Yay for Andrew for revamping my memory! lmao
Holy shoot! I just remebered something! lol I became sibs with Jackie from froggiez.com at 4606.net and her boyfriend e-mailed me. I was like, "Okay..." But guess what! Turned out to be the greatest thing! On my facts page at 4606, I talk about an animated thing I remember, but I couldn't remember what it was called or anything and I thought that maybe I'd dreamed it all up. Well, Nathaniel told me what it was! lmao It's from an old cartoon called Little Lulu(or at least the swinging on a star part). I went searching on the net for it and found some screen caps from the cartoons and I actually remembered some of them! Dang, I was so happy I seriously almost started crying. I mean, when you remember something only partially and it was really special to you and then someone tells you what it was, you kinda feel really happy. lol
I'm listening to a wonderful Nick Carter MP3 that Sam sent to me. I'm not going to put the URL up here though because I gotta see if any of my offline friends will actually read this. lmao So, if you're Ani, Autumn, or someone else I know offline who loves the Boys and wants it, you'll have to e-mail me for it(or Sam may have linked it on her site, so you can go there and check). lol I know, I know, I'm so incredibly evil. ;) Humm... guess that's it for this entry. Ta ta!
Thursday, June 13, 2002
Okay... time for a recap of the last few days! :) On Tuesday, my boss did end up finally coming in, but I still left early anyway to study for my final, but then I never did. lol Yeah, I didn't study at all except reading over my notes a bit 20 minutes before it started! lmao I think I did all right though. Won't find out until the grades are posted in like a week though. Anyway, that makes two finals down and only one(the easiest) left to go tomorrow! :) Then I am FREE!!!!!
Yesterday was much fun. :) Well, after I finished the history final. lol I went and picked up Autumn and we got Taco Bell for lunch and then came to my house to watch movies. :) We watched Newsies first and well... EVERYTHING Spot Collins is just so... HAPPY! lmao Dang, do we love him! Hahaha. I hadn't seen that movie in three or four years... I've got to buy it on DVD now as soon as I get some money, which unfortunately might be a while. lol Then we watched Olive Juice. I hadn't seen it before and it was actually pretty good. :) lmao DJ Naughty... *shakes head* too hilarious! Oh, and we can't forget our carriage driver in training! lol Too funny as well. ;) After that we went to see Star Wars. I didn't get to see it the other night and Autumn hadn't seen it yet so we decided we just had to go. lol She loved it, of course. ;) We decided that we each need our very own lightsaber and our very own Anakin. Oh yeah baby! I told her that we would clone him and that I got the original and she could have the clone and then she said that at least her clone would have both arms! lmfao
Humm... and that brings us to today. It's 90 F out right now!! It is NOT supposed to be that hot up here. For those of you who live outside of the US where you use C, it's 30! Yeah, pretty darn freakin' warm! lol I'm like melting here. I guess I should still be used to it since I used to live in Cali and I still go there every summer, but my body just thinks it's tweaky that it's that warm up here and it's not raining. Strange weather up here right now, I tell ya! Well, that's it 'cept that Autumn and I went to pizza with Danielle(from movement class) earlier. Other than that, not much else has happened today. Humm... I need a popsicle. TTFN!
Tuesday, June 11, 2002
Well, I'm at work now. I'm early so I thought I'd post before it's time for me to start. I managed to come up with something for my movement final last night! :) Which, of course, was good considering that I had to perform it today. lmao I think I did all right. I chose to do a thing that I refer to as 'open your eyes, close your eyes.' It's like a live comic strip. When their eyes were closed I'd move to my next position and then they'd open their eyes and see me and it would repeat until the piece was finished. I entitled mine "A day at the ballpark." lmao Here's what happened frame-by-frame.
1: sitting drinking a soda(note: not real soda, imaginary. I didn't use props.)
2: holding soda to the side a bit.
3: half standing with "soda" spilled all over my pants.
4: sitting wiping off the "soda."
5: standing watching a fly ball come my way.
6: holding up "mit" to catch the ball.
7: hand to forehead where the ball hit me.
8: on the ground grabbing my poor hurt head.
lmao Yeah, that was it, but it at least it got some laughs and I think I got a good grade... or so I hope. Humm... just found out my boss might not be coming in at all today 'cause he got a tooth out this morning. I wonder if I'll be staying or not. There's another guy here, but he's rather new and I don't know that he'll have anything for me to do. Well, gotta jet. It's about time for me to start. TTFN!
Monday, June 10, 2002
Okay, acting movement final tomorrow and guess who's SO not ready to do it... ME! *screams* DON'T MAKE ME DO IT!!!! AHHHHH!!!! Okay, must be calm... must be calm. I can will get through this. *deep breaths* I've got some ideas of what I could do, but I don't know that I can actually do them or do them fairly well. I am so screwed. Then of course, there's the history final on Wednesday... majorly screwed for that too. Zach keeps on telling me that I'll end up doing better than him even though I don't study and he does. Makes me feel bad. :( I'm still doing pretty badly though. I had hopes to pull a B on the final, but I doupt I'm going to make that happen. I'm going to try though. We've finally gotten up to some WWI stuff, which, low and behold, I find interesting, and I think I'm going to force all of that into my brain and then perhaps I'll be all right come time to write for the final. The only thing I'm not worried about is my music final. That's easy stuff. That's not till Friday though. Too bad my harder finals couldn't have been later so that I could have more time for them. Oh well. Somehow, I'll do it. lol I just gotta keep repeating that to myself. ;) Well, guess I'd better jet because I should be working on my finals stuff tonight. TTFN!
Saturday, June 8, 2002
I just finished watching Footloose. That's a pretty cool movie. I think I like Dirty Dancing a lot more though as far as older dance movies go, but it was still cool. Dang, they should have dance classes for those kinds of styles! They look like so much fun! :) I know, I know, I'm crazy... so sue me! lol Blah, that's pretty much it for now. That's all I've done today. I woke up, ate, and watched the movie. lol
Friday, June 7, 2002
Woah! Ok, so I got home almost two hours ago from school and I decided to make myself some Mac n' Cheese for lunch right? Anyway, I'm in the middle of making it when all of a sudden... BOOM!! We're talking shake my house thunder! lol It was GREAT! I love thunder! I mean, yeah, it the middle of the night when you're trying to sleep it can be rather annoying and when you're home alone at night it's a bit freaky, but I still love it! lol It's crazy here though because I live in the foothills at the beginning of a mountain pass and it just rolls along so one boom of thunder is like 5 at least! lol It was weird though 'cause it was just one. No more after that. lol Whatever. Watch, I'll convince my mom to let me go see Attack of the Clones again tonight or something and right during some fight scene in the movie we'll hear another loud boom. lol That'd be hilarious! Ok, yeah... time for Hollers to go work on sites now... TTFN!
Oh, and everyone go and visit Sam 'cause she's my bud and she rocks my freakin' socks!!!!
Wednesday, June 5, 2002
Well, my day started out rather blah, but then I got good news! I don't have to go to my music class until the final next Friday! :) Today he just announced that there will be no more classes held, but that if anyone needed to talk to him they could show up at his office during that time. So yeah, that made me happy, but of course, now I'm aggrivated once more. See, I got a new domain through Active yesterday and there was a specific purpose to me registering it yesterday. The date has a sentimental value to me. Anyway, so I was just checking to see if it was working yet and I find that the last WHOIS update was earlier today, but it's not working yet which means that they've probably not actually registered the domain yet! This defeates my entire purpose of getting it yesterday!!! Grr.
Monday, June 3, 2002
I made a fool of myself in movement class today. There's a stage in the theatre(where we have class) right now so, of course, that just beckoned that we use it. First we had to gracefully go up the steps of it to the top to meet our "love." Yeah, and I had to do it twice 'cause I wasn't doing it right because I thought it was incredably stupid. Anyway, if that wasn't bad enough we had to do solo things where you pick two emotions and start with one and then move to the other. I HATE doing that. I just really suck at it. Off the top of my head I can't just pick two emotions and a whole little piece to do them in. That's what script writers and directors are for! Anyway, so I finally have to get up and do mine and I thought I did all right the first time and then he told me to redo it and I started to shake. Yes, shake. My stagefright tends to do that to me, but it's selective. Like, if I'm comfortable with what I'm doing and there's at least one other person performing with me, I'm just fine and dandy, pretty much couldn't care less. But, if you put me up there by myself doing something I do not want to be doing... well, first my heart starts to beat very rapidly, then I start to feel very warm, then I start to shake. I got half way though it the second time before he said that I needed to overdramitize it more to give it effect and then I told him that I had to sit down because I was shaking. Mind you, the entire class bore witness to this all. Then, to make it a bit worse, he gives this big speach about embracing your stage fright and da, da, da, da, da. Easy enough to preach about, not at all easy for me to do. If I was just in front of a bunch of my friends... no problem, I'd go crazy, but the people in my class and my teacher... no. I'm trying, but I have a whole lot of insecurities that go with my stage fright and I can't just get up there and do something and be cured. It's going to take more than that. I don't know what's going to happen on the final day. Two minutes alone on the stage with everyone's focus totally on me and knowing that I'm being evaluated on my performance... yipes! Lord, please give me strength and courage.

Yesterday I hosted a small game night with some family friends. :) It was much fun! We played BS twice and then I finally got to whip out my .com edition Monopoly! :D I've had it for over a year now, but last night was my first time playing 'cause no one would ever play with me before. It was much, much fun though. :) Yay!
Today at church we had a youth group from another church come and perform a musical for us called Once upon a Parable. It was SOOOOO good! lol A very good laugh while also learning about God(I already knew those stories, but it's always cool to hear them again). :) Such a great system. ;) Hehehe.
Humm... it was interesting earlier. My mom asked me to go to the store for her which is no big deal so I said sure. So, I grab my stuff and go out to the kitchen to get money from her and she gives me her credit card. I'm all like, "Mom, I can't use your credit card. They have you sign." Well, she goes, "Just pretend you're me and sign my name." lmao So, that's what I did! They're supposed to check to see if the signatures match, but they don't, and they didn't. I think they should though because then anyone could get away with a stolen card. I don't think it's a problem though since I used my mom's card and I only got what I was supposed to. :) I didn't want to do it though. lol
Saturday, June 1, 2002
I wrote on here before that I wanted a Star Wars layout right? Well, now I've got one! :) New layout over at 4606.net!!! Please head on over there and check it out and sign the gbook there to let me know what you think. :) TTFN!
