Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas guys!!!!!!!!!!

the absolute worst thing EVER

ok, so maybe not the "absolute worst thing EVER", but just go with it. ok, so yesterday was great. Until 5th hour. I got into class, and about halfway through the class my phone vibrated. I took it out to check it, so i know i had it there. Well, after school, i was walking out the door, and i reached for my phone in my pocket. and guess what. IT'S GONE. so i retrace my steps, and nothing. back up to the classroom, nothing. went to the office, lost and found, and nothing. so i figure that it fell out of my pocket and some kid in my class picked it up. UUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHh! WHY? and knowing these kids, i am most likely not getting it back. sigh. so i finally went out to the car, by this time i was crying, and so tyler went back in with me and we checked everywhere. again. and, of course, nothing. so i go home, we suspend the account, and my phone is gone. i had it for like 2 months and already it's gone. i can't believe that our world is so bad today that you can't even have a cell phone in your pocket or purse or something without it getting stolen. it makes me extremely angry. now i know this sounds kinda pathetic, i mean, you're probably like, so this is the worst thing EVER?!?!?!? but it's not so much that my phone is gone, i mean that's a big part of it and all, but the fact that kids are stupid and dishonest enough to steal a flippin cell phone. why would you steal a cell phone anyway? they're just gonna cancel the account, and it's not like you can use it. idiots. and right before christmas break and everything, and i just got unlimited texting a week ago, and now it's gone. ugh. anyway, sorry for boring you with my little dilemma. and the kids in my 5th hour are getting a beat down on monday. ha ha just kidding.

Amazing!

AMAZING! I got a cell phone for my birthday! I've had it since Saturday and I love it! It's a slider and so cool! My brother is soooo jealous. Having a phone really comes in handy. Like today in English, for instance. I would not have gotten a hilarious pic of this kid wearing a coconut bra if i hadn't had my phone. For more on that subject, see below...

CoCOnUtS

Yep, this is what i wore to school today. It was beach day. Pretty cool, huh? he he. I wore my board shorts, a tshirt, and OF COURSE, the amazing coconut bikini. I got a LOT of interesting looks today. ahh, the fun of spirit week... and here's a kid in my english class that tried it on...no comment.

SUNS VS. JAZZ

Last night we went to the Suns vs. Jazz game. Now of course I have to be loyal to where i "grew up" so I cheered for the Jazz. At first it seemed like it would be a good close game. Yeah, that didn't last long. We ended up losing 101-124. It bugged me because every time the Jazz would shoot a free throw or whatever, the WHOLE DANG CROWD would boo. It made me kinda mad. We didn't see any other utah fans until after when we were walking out and these guys saw my jersey and they started yelling GO UTAH! so of course we knew they were on our side. But I swear that it was only us, the Petersons, and those guys that were even cheering for utah! grr. Oh well it was fun anyway. I didn't get home til 10 and then didn't go to bed til 11 and i woke up at 4:30 so I'm a bit tired. By the way, sorry, no pic from nerd day, but I do have one from beach day. I'll put it in another post, because that is one other story.

monsoon

I figured i should probably post something, since it's been a while... Okay, so going to Valley Vista is really starting to bug me! It's all about our mascot, the "monsoon" and it's getting really old. At our football games, the band plays "Smoke on the Water". And homecoming isn't just called homecoming, NO, it's gotta be Stormcoming. Pretty LAME, huh? I like high school and everything, but when your school color is purple, you go to "stormcoming", and the greatest moment of the varsity football games is when they actually score, it gets annoying. Therefore, I'm annoyed. But I can't do anything about it so I just complained about all that for nothing. It probably entertained you, though, you're probably laughing and glad it's not you. Well, be thankful it isn't. ha. Anyway, this week is spirit week. Monday is nerd day. On Tuesday it's a "beach apparel" day, on Wednesday it's sport apparel day (AND MY BIRTHDAY), on Thursday you're supposed to wear bright colors, and on Friday it's Monsoon colors. Nerd day should be pretty amazing. I'm going to do my hair in a side ponytail like Deb on Napoleon Dynamite and I'll have to figure the rest out tonight. It should be pretty fun! I love dressing up and doing things like that.

15 days!!!

My 15th birthday is in 15 days! I am so excited! Then it's only one more year till I can date! And drive...WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!!! I just love October. It has my birthday, and Halloween, which is one of my favorite holidays. This Halloween I am going to be a hula girl. I am so flippin excited for fall to be here because it means that my birthday and Halloween are coming AND that Thanksgiving and Christmas aren't far away!

Arr! Pirate Dance!

My totally cute outfit

Arr! Me with my "hook"

Last Saturday I went to a pirate dance! It was amazing! I went with my friend Joell. A bunch of guys dressed up and totally got into it-a couple of them brought swords and we had sword fights... then I got to swing dance with my friend Kevin and it was so fun cuz i love swing dancing! I had the best time ever and i can't wait for the next one! I am so happy that they have the dances out here now instead of having to go clear out to Phoenix!

random

Hmm...My sister was taking this test and of course I had to try, especially since I am told quite a bit that I am random. I am just surprised that my score wasn't higher! :^)

But i don't have a middle name!

I was tagged by Sister Gardner AND Sister Chowdhury to do the middle name game but I DON'T have a middle name! And I can't think of one that I would have liked to have...but i'll do my first name, how about that?

H- happy. ask anyone. I AM HAPPY. It creeps some people out, but i don't know why. Isn't being happy a good thing?!?!?

I- imaginative. I am pretty darn creative.

L- laughs a lot. I have a really loud, wierd, annoying laugh. And I love to laugh. It's really easy to make me laugh; I am amused by pretty much anything.

A- AMAZING! if you know me well enough, you have probably heard me refer to myself as "amazing" a billion times. What can I say, it's true! :^)

R- random. that pretty much explains things. I think of the most random things. I'll be talking and then think of something totally random and start talking about that. It drives most people nuts.

Y- uuuh...youthful.(?)I can be mature when I want, but I'm really a kid at heart.

There you go, i didn't play by the rules, but i did it! And I think everyone has already been tagged, but i'll tag Ashie.

Vacation

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...school has been CRAZY! And then on Friday we left to go up to Flagstaff, then to Page on Saturday, and now today we went to the Grand Canyon. We just stayed the night in Flagstaff, and then in Page we went on a river trip on the Colorado River by the Glen Canyon Dam, and of course we saw the Grand Canyon today. I took a TON of pictures, but I can't put them on until I get home tomorrow, so I'll have pictures and stories of everything then. :^)

Ouch

We lost. BIG TIME. The score was about 55-0. TERRIBLE! AAAAAAAAHH!

GO MONSOONS!

Yes, I know our mascot is dumb. Yes, I know one of our school colors is purple. BUT we have a football game tonight...and hopefully we'll win.

This week has been pretty crazy. I'm finally getting used to my schedule: up at 4:30, seminary, school, then homework, bed at 9:00. Hopefully I won't have as much homework as I have had, it's been way too much. Now it's Friday and I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn (actually before that) and I can finally do something with my friends!!!!!!!!!!! I'll probably chill with Ash before the game then I'll do the football game, then probably hang with Ashley some more! WOOT!

~GO MONSOONS~

Okay. Think about it. Who in the heck comes up with MONSOON as a mascot?!?!?!? I mean our logo is a cloud blowing air out of it's nose. WHY?!?!?

Today we finished early and we got to play a game. The game was called Giants, Wizards, and Elves (or somethin like that). It's kinda like Rock, Paper, Scissors, but different. But it's really hard to explain, so that's as far as I'm gonna go. It was so fun, and it was wierd playing it at like 6:30 in the morning. I guess that really woke me up... :^) So my week was pretty fun.

First Day!

Well, today was my first official day of High School! And early-morning seminary. ah. It wasn't that bad actually. It was really fun. I have some of my friends in my classes, so it's all good. :^)
