Time for reflection once again

Sorry for the lack of updates..

So here were are, at the last day of 2006. Who knows what this new year is going to bring, just have to live each day to its fullest; hang in there at tough times, and cherish all the fun ones. So much has happened in this past year, and I pray that this New Year coming up will be awesomeness to the extreme! These past few days Ellie and I have been setting up for our 5th annual "New Years Extravaganza" We blew up 264 balloons, all with confetti inside! Today, were hanging up the last of the balloons, getting the decorations together ect Everyones coming over later in the afternoon and spending then night. Its going to be awesome ^.^ I hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year to come!  ~Pics~ We put all the balloons in my room, and it was crazy! Ellie and I were literally swimming in balloons!

days come and go...but where have they really gone?

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

third day off from school, and pretty much loving every minute of it ^.^

Yesterday was crazy! Mom made dinner that could have fed 30 people, for a family of 4. We dont eat turkey on Thanksgiving, so she made chicken cutlets instead, with greenbeans, corn, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing and stuffed mushrooms. For dessert, we had some of dad's leftover ice cream b-day cake from Wednesday. Man, I'm still recovering from last night's dinner!

For today, Mom, my bro and I headed to the mall. Since we needed a new fridge, mom said they'll be sales going on for Black Friday anyway. We didnt really stay at the mall very long or get anything except for the fridge...

Went to K-mart next, were we bought the new Monopoly game. Mike and I played it when we got home. Its pretty cool, with current money values and places such as Disney World and Time Square which you can purchase.

Not sure what we're doing tomorrow, probably more shopping and getting things together of the sort...

Grandma is coming on Tuesday...oh joy...

Dream of demons when you sleep
that make you studder when you speak

~Randomness~

Went to the All American Rejects concert/meet and greet on the 13th!

How awesome it was! Ellie, my brother and I got to meet them in person and watch them do a sound check! There were about 25-30 people in all that went to the meet and greet.

They signed our shirts and Tyson signed my pants ^_^'

All of us with Tyson Ritter! Ellie, Tyson of course, Me and my brother

I took pics seperately with all of them, but i'll put those in a protected post ^.^'

The concert itself was amazing. Of course my camera battery had to die, so I couldnt take anymore pics >_-'

First band was Gym Class Heroes, they were alright. Second band was The Format. I knew some songs of theirs, and they were very good live. Third bad was The Starting Line...ugh they were alright. And Last AAR came on! They rocked for about an hour and a half then had an encore!  AMAZING NIGHT!

We stayed that Tuesday as well (the 14th) and Ellie took me around UCF again. But this time we went into Student Union and played DDR at Wackadoos ^.^

I remember getting home late that Tuesday night

Like a stone on the water,
The elements decide my fate

Why does life have to be so busy? Seriously? I shouldnt have to complain about this every time I type...

Instead of typing a whole spiel, I shall highlight my awesome week :

Tuesday-After school, Kati's mom drove Kati, Michelle and I to Ft. Lauderdale and we got to see Panic! At the Disco in concert! What an awesome night! We paid in advance for floor tickets (not to mention it was my first time ever on floor!) and rocked hard the whole time. The first opening band was Jacks' Mannequin, and the second band was Bloc Party (both were just alright..) At around 9, Panic! came out and played for about an hour.  Their theme was circus, naturally, so Brendon Urie came out as a ring master and conducted the concert from there. The costumes and backup dancers were amazing as well! And again, I wish I had snuck in the digital camera with me! The drive back was about 2 hours, so I wound up getting home around 12:30. Somehow I managed to get up at 5 for school the next day ^_^'

Thursday-Ellie planned to drive home for the long three day weekend, so she didnt arrive until later that night. We chilled, caught up on stuff and whatnot

Friday-Ellie wasnt here for most of the day and evening, she hung out with a couple of her friends. Me on the other hand started another research paper for Psychology.

Saturday-Finished my research paper, went to Ellie's house so she could do some laundry, sat on the couch and played Tetris with Ellie, pretty much just chilled.

Tomorrow all of us are driving up to Orlando because we have another concert to go to on Monday!!!! Ellie, my brother and I are going to see the All American Rejects in concert (for the second time! Whooo!) We have meet and greet tickets and might have a chance to take pictures with them as well! OMG! This is going to be amazing! We'll probably come back later Tuesday afternoon...

Missing two days of school though...*shrugs* this is so worth it!

So much other things to do...still need to get rolling with applying for colleges and stuff. I only have my letters of recommendations and resume done .

You know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky

Sorry everyone I havent had time to comment/post in forever..

So much stuff has been going on...

I'll update about things later this weekend....

I havent dropped of the face of the earth...yet anyways

Getting things together

Pretty short entry:

Today's the first day I've been feeling better in a while...came down with a nasty cold...

School's been going pretty well

Prob and Stat- learned how to graph scatter plots on the TI-84 calculator. Nothing too major. Im actually enjoying this math class.
Pottery- Making whistles out of red clay. It took me four days to make the stupid thing whistle. Think Im going to turn it into a rubber duckie..or I guess you could call it a clay duckie ^_^'
Psychology- Worked in the media center all block to find information on a research paper thats due in two weeks. The research has to be somewhere in the lines of "why criminals do what they do"...so my topic is going to be Psychological affects of a Serial Killer
Art-Starting a new project. Drawing a still life of flowers in a basket, with a tea pot and tea cup. If it comes out well, I'll take a pic and post it ^_^.

Kristen came over in the afternoon to sign up with me for the SAT's (taking it for the second time) and the ACT (taking it for the first time). Both tests arent until November, so we have time to study things.

Man, is it really only Tuesday? Feels like it's Thursday for some reason

Going nowhere fast
