| July 23rd, 2006Wow. I have not been on here in forever. Last night Myspace was going
crazy & I nor anyone else could use it, then I remember about
xanga, and my love for xanga was renewed.
The most recent thing that's happed was camp & it was the most amazing 10 days of my entire summer, possible
even year. This year I was in a program called SALT which stood for
Servant And Leadership Training. Our main job was to help out around
the camp, we did things like wash the dishes, filled water coolers,
cleaned the pool, stuff like that. Aside from chores we has 2 big tasks
one was to make a Peace Garden and the other was to bulid a new worship
center. For the Peace Garden we bulit HUGE bamboo fences & mixed
around horse poop. Gross. The new worship area was amazing, it started
out as just like jungle, then we cleared it, made a path put in cement,
brought out benches, and all that other stuff that needed to be done.
We got it nearly completed, and I must say, at first it was pretty
intimitdating. Even though we did mostly work, I've had more fun than I
have in quite some time & all 23 of us bonding like we never could
have under any other circumstances. Like one day when my group was
doing watercoolers with Michelle we had tons of fun. There was one
point when we driving though the middle of the woods & everything
was all bumpy & jerking so we were holding on for dear life then
Michelle just stops & yells "CHINESE FIRE DRILL!". hahaha.
We didn't do just work, we also did regular camps things like pool
time, canoeing, FOB, high ropes, etc. The conoe trip we went on was
possibly my favorite thing we did. We went off the camp & spent 5
hours caoneing down the Flint River. I was in a canoe with Robin &
Emily who are probably 2 of my favorite people on Earth! You see, the
River wasn't very high that day due to lack of rain so we were mainly
conoeing on rocks & none of us were all that experinced when it
came to conoes. But Robin was wonderful with the canoe, like whenever
we'd get stuck, she'd just jump out & push us off of the rocks.
There was one point when we just walked & pulled the conoe with us,
we did that for like half an hour, then saw a dead fish & all
shreiked & jumped back in. At another time we were all really
frustrated because we had been flipped 2 times & we had
accidentally sunk our boat (OOPS!) so we all decided to just rest &
take a break, then I said, "good because I don't have an oar anymore".
I had lost my paddle like a minute before (OOPS!). Once I said that we
all just craked up! After that period of laughter EVERYTHING seemed
absoulty hilarious, like even the sky being blue.We claimed we had lost
our minds after that point, which we had, for a time. Though nothing we
laughed about during the conoe ride made us more hysterical than right
after the trip when we returned back to camp. It's a tradition at Camp
Calvin to blast Madonna when you leave & return from the camp
premisis. So there we were in our short bus blasting Madonna with Jeff
driving. Once we got out we looked at the canoe trailer & realized
that one of the tires has blown up! Yet we didn't hear it because we
were playing Madonna too loud! hahahaha.
Picture time!
There's jeff with the blown tire
Late night girl talks & illegal chocolate... great times
That's the trash can that we filled up completly with candy wrappers from our girl talks.
That's my favorite picture of Emily & me
hehehe, Katie got Aaron all wet!
Me & Brad on the high ropes course
And Michelle in the Watercoolers van
After I got back from camp my mom, my grandma, I left for New York. It
was a good trip, I wouldn't say that it was fun, but we had a lot of
meaningful family time. Especially the last night. We sat out on my
uncle's deck in a lightnig storm (no thunder or rain, just lighting)
and a real bonding moment. We talked about everything and laughed a
whole lot. At one point we were talking about one of my grandma's
friends with dylasis
and my aunt just looks up at us with the most innocent expression
and says, "Why can't we catch Ossama Binladin?" Awkward silence. The
she continues, "I mean he's 6 foot 4 and has dylasis 3 times a week."
It may not sound all that funny, but it got us roaring with laughter.
Not all that much has happened here, except for John shaving his head.
Have a wonderful day!
Hopefully I'll be writting in here more!

| June 5th, 2006Right now I feel like the kid from Toy Story when he picked Buzz
Lightyear over good ol' loyal Woody. You see, I just got a Myspace
& that is Buzz & Xanga is Woody. Myspace is pretty sweet so
I'll probably be on there more often, but I'll come to Xnaga
occasionally just to check what's happinen'.
I hope you have a fantastic day, stay beautiful, & come invade MySpace!

| June 3rd, 2 double 0 6Yo peeps!
Last night I had about 50 crazy dreams, and some of them I actually
remember, which is a feet in & of itsself. One of the Dakota was
the main characacter & the setting was some place like gym, but
that's not the amazing part. The amazing part was what was on her
teeth, she had mini guitars placed on each of her teeth, I guess
they were like a white person's version of grillz. Then in another
dream all I remember is that I had left my dresser at school, with my
cothes in it, but I had forgotten to pick it up on the last day
of school, so now for the summer I had no clothes... In yet another
dream that I remember I was having a Halloween party to celebrate the
end of school, I forget what happened in that dream. What do any of
these dreams mean? Maybe Dakota can tell me, she has has one of those
books that analyze your dreams.
On Tuesday we dress rehersal for the recital. I was early for
practicing the Finale, but I was late when we practiced our dances.
That was kind of a bummer, I didn't get the whole rehersal treatment. 
The recital went perfectly though! Allison & Dakota attended, along
with my parents, grandma, & brother. Allison tried to yell louder
than my grandma, but I'm not sure how well that worked...
Then when Thursday came along I went to Allison's new house in Grayson
& we wnet to her pool. That was much, much fun, despite now being
able to open the door....haha.OH! They have one of those little
mushroom things that water comes down & it looks like it's raining!
We skipped around in that for a bit. We also made George
Washington hair, which was a lot more fun than I had remembered
it to be. We also tried Little Mermaid hair, that worked for Allison,
but not for me, I only got water up my nose, in my eyes, etc. Later on
we went to Bruster's & I got Cotton Candy explosion which I now
have a deep love for.
Later on today I'm going to meet Andrea & Kevin at the movies &
we're going to watch The Breakup and eat candy from the Dollar Store.
Haha.
Tomorrow I get to go to the nursery. Yay! Then later on I'll be
going to Dakota's recital, which I can not wait for! Another yay!
I hope ya'll have a great day & stay gorgeous (or handsom, depending on your gender)!
I'm out. Peace.
Much ,
Elisa

| May 30th, 2006Last Friday my family and I left for Arkansas to go to Poppy's memorial
service, it was definetly worthwhile. I learned so much about my very
own grandfather from people who he always treated like family. I
learned that if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have Healthy
Choice, he developed the idea of putting vitamins/minerals into
water, he was good friends with Frank Sinatra, even though he was the
president & CEO of hundreds of companies throughout the years he
never signed on contracts, he relied on a hand shake and a look in the
eye, everybody always had something good to say about him, and he
always had something good to say about other people, he performed
random acts of kindness long before the phrase was popualr, and he was
the eternal optomist. I was just so amazed and completly honored to be
realted to him, as my cousin said, "we have good genes".
Everything about the mass was absolulty beautiful, my cousin did the
first reading, my brother did the second reading, and I did the prayers
of the faithful; it was so special to have all of his grandchildren
each have aspecial part. Then my uncle, my cousin, and my new "uncle"
(actually Poppy's best friend in the world) did the eulogies, there
were no dry eyes in the room. The last eulogy, done by my new "uncle"
was especially touching. Nick had met my Poppy about 30 years ago doing
some business together, they automatically became best friends &
have been ever since. Now this is one guy you would love to met, he's
so carming, funny, and all other good quallites, he's another person
that you automatically fall in love with and his son is best friends
with Ryan Seacrest. His eulogy was just amazing and at the end of it he
sang "My Way" by FRank Sinatra, which was my Poppy's favorite song, and
not to mention completly described him.Nick had the instrumaental
version and sang it & it was the most touching thing in the world!
Like at certain parts he'd start to brreak up & start to tear up a
bit. Then at the end he turned around & flew on Poppy's favorite
silk scarf that he always wore & gave to Nick the day before he
died. Afterwards he started crying.
My Way by Frank Sinatra
And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
[instrumental]
Yes, it was my way
That's my new favorite song & it will always have a sentimental meaning to me.

Elisa
   
   
I love Boy Meets World, it's my favorite show.

| May 24th, 2006This morning when I got on the buss I said at the top of my
lungs, "HAPPY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!" and then Drew asked me I was going
to be one of those girls who cries on the last day of school and I
responded with, "Psssh, of course". Now I'm begining to think that I
lied, most years I cry & get all hyped up about leaving school, but
today for some reason I just couldn't. Today was alomost surreal. Did
it actually happen? Was I just daydreaming & in reality it's only
Christmas? I doubt it, but that's what it feels like.
I think it's because I didn't have closure. Most years I spend a
Saturday out with my mom getting gifts fot my teachers & then I
write them very nice & long letters with merories and the like.
This year I guess I just got to lazy... or maybe busy, either way I
didn't do it. So maybe that's why it feels so... surreal. I even had
everything planned out that I was going to write, but just never got
around to picking up the pen. I could kick myself for that & now I
completly regret it.
I can not grasp at all the fact that today was my very last day of
middle school. I always thought that middle school would be this big,
scary place, but it wasn't, I've loved it and had some of the best
times of my short life occur in those hallways. There is no way that
any of that can be over. I guess it had to end sometime... but why now?
Everyone is growing up; we wear make-up, we have boyfriends, we're all
getting more mature. I love it and I hate it. I love the fact that
we're growing up & moving on to bigger and better things, yet I
hate how we're leaving so much behind. This year I think I've had the
best teachers I've ever had, they were all so amazing at what they did
and I'm leaving them, without even saying a proper good-bye. Poop.
Surreal. Those are the only words that can describe this situation.
(here they're being used as adjectives).
At least summer is here, baby!
Tomorrow I have to spend my day packing for Arkansas. We're leaving for
Poppy's memorial on Friday morning. I'm looking forward to that, so
many people want to come up the mic & talk about Poppy. Plus,
I get to see my uncle, my cousin, other family members, meet peole I've
heard so much about, etc.
Did I tell you about my grandma? Well she has cancer in her lungs &
it was pretty bad for a while & evertone thought they wouldn't be
able to operate or stop the spreading. Today she went in for surgery
& the dorcer said he is completly amazed, all of these signs that
some things were milignant were actaully wrong. What's with my family
and miracles?
Earlier today when I was walking with my dog I figured something out: I
love being outside, I feel infinate & powerful, but when I'm inside
I feel powerless and... I guess you could say unenthuastic. Like when
I'm outside I want to do stuff, but inside I just want to sit around.
Not all that much else to say. I feel very grown up and indepentdent at the moment.
Stay gorgeous & have a great summer because I said so!
Much ,
Elisa
