Abortion Methods

Currently, I am in my English class researching abortion methods for a paper I was writing.

Prompt: If there was one issue you wish the President would send more time and focus on, what would it be and what is your stance on it?

Thesis: Abortion, no matter what trimester the pregnancy is in, should be illegal in the United States.

Anyway, I found this site that gives the different types of Abortions, how they are performed, and what the negative side effects on the women who receive them are.
This site gave detail into the major methods, and it's disgusting to think people see this as acceptable and their right to do.

I really hate this modern day society...

Boredom and the Internet are a leath Combination.

Your score on this personality test was 78%

 

Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural lead, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

As of late...

"Night came and I broke my stride,

I swallowed hard, but never cried.

When grace was easy to forget,

I'd denounce the hypocrites,

casting first stones, killing my own.

You would unscale my blind eyes,

and I stood battered, but more wise,

fighting to accelerate,

shaking free from crippling weight.

With resilience unsurpassed,

I clawed my way to You at last.

And on my knees, I wept at Your feet,

I finally believed, that You still loved me."

This week.

I start my new schedule this week. Although I'm extremely excited about my circumstances and how God has set a path for me, I am going to miss my Blue Days. I loved my PE class. I'm going to miss getting to hang out with Shelby and Allie all second period. And I'll miss Myrna, Sue, and Brandi in the main office, but it's all for the best. I'm so overjoyed with what I will be getting to do for the rest of my high school experience and am very excited for what's going to happen. Just please keep me in your prayers.

P.S. I might be switching over to Wordpress soon. I have an account created with them, and have had one for quite a long time, but I haven't messed around with it too much to see if I appreciate it's features or not. We'll see!

Annnnnnd..... I'm back!

Awe, blogging, MySpace, Facebook... the lack of online communication has been painful. But, the semester is over, so it's back to my normal life. I will be downloading AIM shortly.

I really appreciate this break for the last two weeks. It forced me to find other things to do with my time besides being on MySpace and Facebook. Along with instant messaging and what not. I do have quite a bit I'd like to talk about, but I don't want to type them all out now. I'm currently enjoying my first pepsi in over 2 weeks. Mmmmmmmm.

Hmmm, maybe I should get to work on grooming my arm hairs... or, as Trebonte would like, go braid my nose hair... Either way, I wont be posting.

Microsoft Vista's Power Point Program...

Pretty much the more irritating software I have ever had to use.



About a week before Mid Winter Break, Mr. Fountain assigned two guys from my class, along with myself, to do a secret project for him. Seeing as we would be excused from all other assignments in his class, we were willing to take on the task.



By the end of that week, we were almost in tears. None of the software given to us that was supposed to help, worked. We left for break with a chip on our shoulder, and a monkey on our backs.



Now break has been over for almost a week. And now were have all come to an agreement: scrap the video, and go for an easy powerpoint.



I'm currently rethinking this. Power Point is just as horrible for me as the Digital Video Creator was. It freezes, closes out, and takes several minutes to show the text, so revising any mistakes is almost impossible to do in a timely manner. I hate it.


Errr.

So, Trebonte introduced me to a new comic strip site. This one protrays what goes on in my household when my brother gets a hold of our computers.

Zombie-Tastic!

I have found the gift I will give to every male I know next Christmas.

Creation 2008

So, my mother has made it apparent to me that I need to start making a list of the people I would like to bring to Creation 2008. she wants to buy tickets soon, plus she wants to a book a hotel for the wimps (And for those who would like to use the pool...) So I need to start taking bribes . Extortion is a beast.

Last year's way of deciding the quests was a joke. I invited people I wish I hadn't, and almost didn't invite those who I really wish could have attended. We basically just sent out an open invitation: "If you want to go Creation, we have tickets for free!" but this year will be much different seeing as I will be hand selecting those who I want to come. It will be hard, seeing as there will be more people than space, so I'll just have to examine who I actually consider friends and who I see more as acquaintances.

But, I should be officially decided by the start of February, but I wont really confirm it with everyone until a later date. Hopefully I wont have to hurt anyone's feelings, but we'll see. I have good ideas about who I'm thinking of having join, but I'll have to get it written out and then narrowed down.

I'll have fun with that.

The Federal Reserve: Does Money Matter?

So my dad brought up the fact that my mom's father (who died in '70) did a documentary on the Federal Reserve, and that he had to watch it in school when he was getting a business degree. My dad never knew my grandpa made a film, but at the end credits, it showed "Produced by John C. Sutherland." The conversation went on for a good 30 to 40 minutes when my dad mentioned that he was never able to find the film after that day. He researched trying to find it in libraries, on the Internet, etc. ever since that day. Ha, so I searched in Google "Federal Reserve Documentary John Sutherland." Oh my goodness, after 10 pages of results, I finally found, on Berkley's website, a list of the videos they show in their Economics class, and "The Federal Reserve: Does Money Matter? A John C. Sutherland film." Sadly, though, it did not let you order the video. So I kept researching, and found another website that offer the video for sale. But when I went to order it, PBS (the site selling it) had retired that page. They did supply the number for them to still order it. So, again I continued to search the Internet for any type of info on it. As I looked at the web addresses, the majority of them happened to be universities. I'm wondering if the UW's library might have the tape. But, not one person in my family actually attends the school, so I guess I wont be finding out.

If I ever find myself in Japan, I will be stopping here...

To go along with that.

Hello Kitty takes over World of Warcraft.

The water is "filled with Hello Kitty love!"

Hello Kitty "Believers."

Bahaha. I in no way, shape, or form, have anything against Hello Kitty, at all. In fact, I like the cute little kitten. Well, in all actuallity, I really like Badtz-Maru... okay, I like them all... I'm a long ways away from my New Years Resolution.....

The life of a man married to a 'Hello Kitty' fanatic.

A Little Late

"I feel my insecurities,
are haunting me like ghosts, this sinking quicksand.
And then with thunderous praise and lofty adoration,
a second passes by, yet nothing changes.
I hate my skin, this grave I'm standing in.
Another change of years, and I wish I wasn't here."


Five Iron Frenzy has a way of just expressing me, and I don't have to do any work for it to do so.

I pretty much have been apathetic about the whole coming of 2008. Don't ask me why, I just feel scared and anxious about what's to come. Something inside of me is stressed and causing endless head aches and upset stomachs. I feel like I've become a child again, and I'm terrified my parents will find out I broke something very expensive and important. The worst part is that I can't even put my finger on what's been bothering me. It's probably just Satan trying to attack and bring me down, so that I don't enjoy my life fully and how God intended me too.

Like most years, I've made my resolutions... and you know what, I never keep to anything. It doesn't even have to be a New Years resolution, anything I want to do never follows through. It's one of those things I hate about myself and I just hope I'll be able to overcome it sometime in my life. I don't have the normal ones like those of "Lose weight," "stop swearing," "Spend more time with the family." I just want life to go smoothly. I don't care if something amazing happens anymore, as long as it goes smoothly. As a child I always wanted the "dream life." You know, lots of money and glamour, to be an actress or to be a princess, or something fabulous. And, even until recently, I've realized that if I can make it through life content and comfortable, I will be more than happy. And if God so desires to bless me with any of the above... all the more reason to praise Him. I just want to trust Him to have a smile plan for me and my future family. That would be a dream come true. So, my New Years resolution: Prepare myself for what I someday want my life to be.

If I want a simple life, I need to learn now to not count on the physical and the materialistic. I've always been looked at as this spoiled little child who is ditzy and doesn't have a clue about anything going on because her parents take care of everything for her. I'm tired of that false stereotype. I'm tired of the jerks trying to figure out what I'm all about when they only talk to me once or twice a week, and every time they do, it's a negative comment (sometimes multiple.) Now, I guess I can see why they would get that impression. But that doesn't make any thing different. I will not defend myself on here, for only I and my Creator know the real me, and if other people want to jump the gun and decide for themselves how God has designed me, they can go ahead and deal with that themselves.

I do want to begin my journey of becoming the woman that God wants, that I want, and what ultimately my future husband will want. This year I turn 17 years old. That will lead to 1 more year until adulthood. Only 2 more seasons until I will, hopefully, begin college. There is absolutely no way I can enter that world with the state I am in now. I wish to always keep my child like heart, and to lose that would be my biggest disappointment.

But, for those of you who actually know me, I'm very loud and in your face. I love to yell and run around. I love to have fun and jump around and just have a good time. Haha, Ryan told me that if I got drunk at parties, I'd get myself kicked out of places. But I love the energy of that. But, I really need to work on toning it down a bit. I don't need to yell and goof off every second of my life. Parties... eh, even then, I need to learn to control myself. I can have fun, but in a more feminine and mature matter. Plus, I realize it gets old very fast.

I need to learn how to rely on myself, and not my family to get ahead. I've taken some of my own responsibilities. Buying my own clothes, buying my own gifts for people, and when I'm out, using my own money for food and fun. But, I know I'm still not financially savvy yet. I also have used my family to help with things. Say, I need to make an appointment for the doctor, or to get my hair done, I still go to my mom to call for me and schedule everything. I'm only digging myself into a whole, and as of now, that shovel needs to be taken away.

I'd also like to stop using text messages as much as possible. Along with IM and emails. Honestly, if someone really needs to get a hold of me, they can call me. Besides, I much rather hear the voices of my friends, rather than see line after line of typos and not understand anything going on. I honestly believe that email, IM, and texting has led to my introversion. (Yes, I actually used to be more extroverted and outgoing.) So, to all my friends, if you actually care to have a full length conversation with me, CALL me. I'll still be on AIM because that's an obsession that I'll deal with in 2009. BUT hopefully it will be a lot less... but it would be greatly appreciated if people would just call me. I'd love to hear your voices!

Finally, I want a larger vocabulary. Hahaha, I just really really do!

We'll see how things go. I'm excited for the direction God has for me. be it whatever way He wants.

So, I watch E!'s The Soup almost every week. Joel McHale is VERY big on making fun of Britney Spears every second that he has the chance (Her along with Tyra Banks.) Anyways, they constantly show snipits from Britney's VMA performance, along with soundbits of hers. Also, they refer quite a bit to her recently released CD "Blackout." I'd laugh along, but never actually heard her CD. Hahaha, I now know why.

Tonight (Okay, this morning) I looked her up on MySpace's music feature. It has four of her songs up, and I listen to each. She took a more technoish turn with this CD, which normally would be very awesome by my standards... too bad Britney Spear just has a way with making every thing she does uber lame.

The first song came up, and I thought "Eh, it's not terrible..." but then "Gimme More" came on and I couldn't stop laughing. First off, the only part I could actually understand was the very beginning, which is only "It's Britney, B****!" then the rest was a mumble of random words that I doubt she even knows herself.

Then her other two songs were equally as bad and I can't believe I spent 15 minutes of my life listening to that headache.

Eh, oh well, at least I can laugh even harder while watching The Soup now.
