Weekend Assignment

Weekend Assignment #27: There are 12 months in the year. Which is your favorite? Give us one good reason why.

Extra Credit: Which month comes in second?

 

How do I choose just one!? Umm.... I think I like October best because October has Halloween (and I still dress up) and is very fall-like. I love the way the trees look and I love the crispness in the air. The coolness just feels so romantic to me. Hot summer nights are great but I prefer the cool nights of Autumn. (If only a guy *cough* my escort for the homecoming game *cough* would serendade me under the autumn stars and then, before I had time to protest, kiss me gently on the lips. my first kiss)

Extra credit: February because Aunt Lori, Gumpy, Uncle AJ, my older 1/2 brother, and I were all born within just over two weeks of each other. Also, Valentine's Day! I'm such a romantic that Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays. Oh, yeah... I get a week off from school!

That's all for now. Great assignment, John.

Thanks to Danielle (opps! I had put down Heather for a while. It's not Heather's journal. It's Danielle's!) for the questions.

You're a Summer. You're just a ball of energy that is constantly going on and on!! You're kinda like the energizer bunny. lol. But your probably really athletic and even if you're not, you'd be good in sports because of all your energy. You're enthusiastic about everything you do and find it hard not to be happy. You're usually pretty optimistic but can be realistic when needed. You always hope for the best to turn out and many times they do. Sometimes though, you let your temper get the best of you but you apologize as soon as you can because you hate people being angry with you. You're friends love how active you are and you make them feel like they can do anything crazy if they want to.

 

 

And many thanks to Kristina (sry if it's spelled wrong). I was starting to wonder if anyone reads this. (as is shown in my last entry). Thanks for all the links, Angel. And John Scalzi, for all the weekend assignments. they may be challenging but, they keep me busy. Oh, and Patrick. Thanks for keeping my Saturday's busy! And thank to you.... for reading this!

very confused

One of my female friends is dating another girl. I have no idea how to feel about this. Though I knew about her sexuality before, we're both Christains and it's against what the Bible says. But I don't think that gays/leisbians/bisexuals/transgenders should be treated any different. Do you understand that? Ever been in the same situation? Comments would be appreciated.

Saturday Six (and it's actually Saturday!)

Well, this computer is stupid. All the entries in some journals I'm trying to read are showing up extremely small! Perhaps I'll just throw the computer out a window. After I finish my Saturday Six, of course! Here goes nothing!

1. Who is the last person you took a photograph of?

2. What decade do you hold the most dear and why?

3. Take the quiz:  What mystical creature are you?

4. What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?
 
5. What do you normally wear to bed?

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #24 from Cherie:  What movie character do you most identify with?

1. My mom.

2. Currently, the 90's. Reason: I was born & had some fun times w/my family & friends. I did a lot of changing those years. (From age 0 to 10, you tend to do that!)

3. You're like a fairy. Fairies were the little pixies that usually lived in the forest with wings like butterflies and perfect little faces. they had brown or blonde hair and pale skin with freckles. They were entergetic, joyful, playful, very smart, and peaceful. Fairies are deffinately the most famous of all fantasy creatures. (the picture is so gorgeous! it wont insert & the link doesnt work. sry u cant see it)

4. Can't drink yet but, I cant wait to try margaritas. For now, Shirley Temples work.

5. depends on my mood. sometimes a T-shirt & sweats/shorts, sometimes a negligee, sometimes nothing.

6. Wow. Interesting question. How about I think about it well I go eat breakfast/lunch (it's already 12:19pm! I got up just over an hour ago!)? Well, that was a very productive break. ::sarcasm:: Hmmm... What movie character do I most identify with? I still have no idea! I guess I identify with...... ummm.... gosh! I have no idea! I'll stop wasting your time & go think for a while. I think I got it. Perhaps Lola from "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" because she's unique but, on the other hand, she doesn't have much of a romantic side. I guess my character hasn't been thought of yet. I need someone unique & confident, romantic & loving, and so many other things!

Well, that was an interesting Saturday Six. Maybe the next reader question will be a bit easier! LOL. g2g be pointless for now.

Love,

XO Vickey XO

Weekend Assignment

Weekend Assignment #25: Share a favorite story that features you and a sibling.

Hmmm.... Let's see. What could I write about? Well, I do have two siblings. I could write about my brother or my baby sister. Which would make a better story? Which HAS a story? I'm gonna go think and I'll get back to you in a few.

{a few minutes later} Well, I'm still havin' trouble remembering a story! Perhaps I'll write about the time my cousin hit me in the head (on my mind b/c of John's story). Oh, I got a story about my baby sister! Not a very good one, mind you, but a story nonetheless. For those that aren't satisfied with it, I'll include the one about my cousin.

My half-sister, Samantha (aka Sami), lives with our mom. I didn't see her until she was two weeks old. When I did, I was holding her for the first time and trying to decide what I should call her (ya no how certain people call you certain things? that's what I wanted to do with her) and she started to cry. So, I give her back to Mom and I'm still thinking. *lightbulb* "I think I'll call her Pixie." Well, this little girl (TWO weeks old, mind you) shot me a dirty look! Fast-forward to today: I still call her Pixie! Perhaps in spite of that or perhaps because of it. One day, she'll ask me why I call her Pixie & I'll have this great story to tell her! If my digital camera would hook up to the computer, I'd put a pic or 2 of me & her on here. That'll b on of the first pics I put up when I figure it out.

Not satisfied? Here's the one about my cousin.

We were having a garage sale at my gramma's old house and there was a carnival that night. Gramma promised to take us if we behaved. Jeff (my cousin) misbehaved and his mom (my aunt Donna) refused to let him go. He got mad at went around back & was chucking sticks at the tree, breaking them. I didn't know what was going on so I want back to see what was wrong. He threw a stick about as thick as a quarter is wide at the tree. It cracked and hit my right temple. I screamed (as nine-year old girls do when something hits them) and ran inside. My cousin was in deep trouble and I got to sit there with a rag on the welt he gave me. He didn't go to the carnival but, I had a great time. :)

Well, I gots stuff to do (like Thankful Thursday). TTYL.

Love to all my J-land buddies!

Vickey

nothing much

Well, life is rather slow and boring right now but, J-land misses me (or so I like to think). I wish I was 18. I wish I was living on my own. My brother is such a pain in the butt! But, two glasses of white grape juice later, I'm feeling fine.

{five minutes later} Not anymore. My dad is idiotic. He's making jokes about how I PMS twice a week. :( That's so inappropriate! I can't believe he'd say that. Anyhow, life is messed up so, too bad.

Well, I gotta go to bed so, ciao for now, babe.

Love ya!

wings

Well, this isn't working but, my wings are black.

You have Black Wings! Your feathers are dark, raven
black, which can also be spiny and scaly. No
one really knows why your feathers are this
dark, because you always conceal yourself with
a bubble. A great sadness surrounds you, and
you take it out on others and the world. In
Spite of your beauty, your inside is twisted
and dead, because you were hurt so badly that
youre heart couldnt take it. Before, your wings
were white, and slowly, when your life was
changing, so was the color. You have no
friends, because you cant let anyone get too
close to you. Grief fills your heart, though
anger blinds your eyes.

You should go take this quiz. It's pretty kewl.

To get the link, go to What color are your wings? This is an entry in Angel's journal. (Happy b-day, Angel!)

Saturday Six

1. If you could give your journal a content rating, which would you select:  G, PG, PG-13, R, or NC-17?

2. Are you left handed or right handed?  Do you wish you were the opposite?

3. What is the last play you saw performed live in a theater?

4. Your bank gives you the opportunity to send them a photo which they will make into personal checks for you?  What single photo would you most likely send?
 
5. What character from the original "Star Trek" do you most identify with?

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #23 from Heather:  What secret urge do you have, but never act on?

Well, this is late but, that's okay cuz I was grounded yesterday & I wasn't here. So, here's my answers.

1. I'd rate my journal PG-13 because it's mainly free of sex and language, etc. but occasionally, I slip.

2. I'm right handed. I've never thought about it but, no, I don't think I would change to be a leftie.

3. Oh, gosh. I don't know. Something at the local theater. I think it was about the daughter of the woman who married Otto Frank after WWII ended.

4. I have no idea (seeing as how I don't have a checking account, it doesn't matter.). But, if forced to choose,  I'd choose a picture of me and my bestest friends.

5. Used to watch but, not anymore. Can't remember anyone except Captain Kirk and Spock!

6. Great question! I would love to be able to do whatever I want. Too vauge? Umm.. well, I'd love to be able to take off wherever I want at the drop of a hat & I'd love to be able to tell people exactly what I think w/o fearing consequences.

That's all for now. Write more soon. (BTW: Patrick, you're forgiven.)

Well, I'm back!

First of all, I haven't written cuz I was grounded. Don't ask. I'm sick of explaining. Next, the Weekend Assignment (it is still Sunday!).

My son John wants people to write down the first song played at their wedding reception.

Well, I'm not married (nor do I plan to be anytime soon but, eventually). The first song played at my reception should be something slow and romantic so my husband and I can dance to it. Perhaps the first song we danced to. I'll tell ya when I get married.

Thirdly, I'm going 2 read the rest of my e-mail. I'll write later. XO Vickey XO

Quick Saturday Six. (Yes, it is Monday. Opps!)

1. With about 50 days left until the election, you suddenly have the chance to recast the two presidential candidates.  Who would you want to replace Bush and Kerry?

I have no idea! I don't pay attention to politics much.

2. What color would you never wear in your wardrobe?

I would never wear puke green! 'nuff said.

3. Other than a journal, what was the last website you visited?

Umm........ The Sarah Hudson music player. I love Sarah!

4. Have you ever had the exact same dream more than once?  Have you ever had a dream one night pick up where the last night's dream left off?

Can't say that I have.
 
5. Which is more organized:  your kitchen, your medicine cabinet, your computer desk, your office, or your car?

My medicine cabinet. (14=no car or office)

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #22 from Robin:  Are you a native of the state you currently reside in?  If not, how many states have you lived in since the state you're a native of?

Native of NY. I've lived in this area my whole life. Made 4 moves within the area, though.

Well, I g2g now. Love y'all.

Freshmen Friday rocked!

I'm so hyper! Well, to start at the beginning, I was late for school. Oh, well. Great day. Voice-didn't faint (yay!) German-blah Math-blah Science-more blah Choir-blah Lunch-sat w/Jordan Global-talked about 9/11 and watched a CNN video on what happened that day. had never seen the collapse of the tower. saw the plane hit the second tower for the first time on Wednesday (on PBS). on the verge of tears. English-hard 2 concentrate on the test on October Sky due to the video Study hall-got most of my homework done. Stayed after for announcer's club. Don't want to do it any more. It's televised every morning on the televisions in every classroom. Missed GH (oh, well). Got online. Talked to LIndz & Jake. Incredibly hyper. Sorry about the sentences. It's a result of hyperness. ran around the complex singing loudly & high. lindz might sleep over. liz la is having some fight w/emma (again). hope she doesnt SI. well, nothing left to say.

~hyper 14 1/2 year old signing off~

heart break

My heart is breaking. This sucks. No, it's not about a boy. Or an animal. Or my family (for once). My bestest friend (as you may remember) moved to RI. She said she wouldn't change. She said she'd stay the same person, the same girl that I love. She's not. She's been gone less than a month and already, she's not Liz. She's the girl that says "lolz" and "bibiz" and won't let me call her "hun", "babe", or "sugar". She's doing great in school (yay for her) and she's gained confidence (bigger yay) but, I want my Liz back + those 2 good qualities. I want my bestest friend back. I want her to stay Liz. I get she had to move but, she could at least stay somewhat the same girl. The girl that stays up until midnight talking with me about guys and life and everything, the girl that sings the elephant song from Moulin Rouge! with me as we skip through the halls of school, the girl that begs me to come over at a moment's notice to talk, the girl that loves tacos and somehow manages to choose the "bad boys" to date when she herself is a good girl, the girl that needs reassurance at least once a week that she's smart/gorgeous/amazing/thin and that her hair/make-up/clothes look fine/great/hot (that i could live w/o lol). I want that girl back. This sucks. I'm going to go to bed now. Good night all. May God bless you.

Thankful Thursday!

Well, let's see. Thankful Thursday....

1.I'm thankful for all my J-land friends and the wonderful thoughts I get from them. I'm thankful for the activities I get from them to occupy my day's. (Weekend Assignment, Saturday Six, Thankful Thursday, etc.)

2.I'm thankful for my faith. I know God is there for me every minute of every day. I know He can help me solve any problem and He is my rock, my Savior.

3. I'm thankful for the friends I have in the real world that help me through tough times and rejoice with me through the good times. They are my support system to get me through everyday. *cheers for the girls & guys*

4. I'm thankful for the soliders who are risking their lives to defend our country. I am anti-war but, I am thankful that they are willing to risk their lives (1000 of them have given their lives in the war on Iraq :( ) in order to protect us.

5. The firefighters and policemen that save the inhabitants of this country on a daily basis recieve my thanks. Not only those in duty now but also those retired and beyond. Those men and women risk their lives daily (as they did three years ago Saturday) and seem to be underappreciated.

6. I'm thankful for my family. My parents gave me my morals and my early start at reading. I'm very thankful that I discovered books so early (3 1/2 years old!) because they're a companion that can go anywhere and can take you places you'd never go otherwise. They don't depend on your age. If you can't read, someone can read to you. They're great. I guess I'm thankful for books, too. My grandmother gave me my faith. She's the one that took me to church when I was little.

7. I'm thankful for the roof over my head, the clothes on my back & in my dresser/closet, the food in my stomach, and the luxuries such as the computer I'm typing on right now that I get to enjoy.

Well, this made me feel a little bit better but, I'm still heart broken. It's irreverable. :(

Uh-oh! Weekend Assignment again!

Weekend Assignment #23: 100 years from now, your great-great-great-grandchild has been assigned to write a school report on your life and times. Help him or her by putting five things in a time capsule. The five things could include something personal or something that typifies the times we live in. One catch: It can't include a version of your AOL Journal (because that would be too easy, that's why).

Extra Credit: Put something in the box that would believe would be completely puzzling -- something they'd look at and say "What the heck is this?"

 

Well, I had better get to updating this more. I'll add it into my evening routine (or my late afternoon one). For those that don't know, I'm a FLYbaby. www.flylady.net Marla (FLYlady) is amazing and I thank God for her mentorship. Well, on to the assignment.

Well, I'd put these five items in to show how my life & these times are going.

1. My journals. I write in it every night, as in pen to paper (not fingers to keyboard). It's far more regular than this journal or my Xanga. (Does this count even though it's a journal? If not, sorry. I'm new at this. To defend myself, you never said not to put in a version of ur AOL Journal. I'm tricky like that!) It shows my thoughts and feelings and what I'm doing with my life so far.

2. The letters I write to an older version of myself and to my future husband. They show how I expect people (men esp.) to treat me and anyone I love and what I expect my life to be like at different ages. My journals show how my life was. I think comparing and contrasting them would be interesting.

3. A mix CD of all my favorite songs (yes, I did borrow this from other journals. I hope you don't mind! It was a great idea). Shows my music taste and reflects the times. Music tells what's happening in the world. Vietnam, JFK's assassination, the crash that took the lives of Richie Valens, J.P. Richardson, and Buddy Holley, and so many more events are reflected in the music of those times. Why should this time be any different?

4. My Bible. It shows my spirituality and belief system. It also has notes in the margins and underlined verses that show how I feel about them. It would give my g-g-g-grandchild a view into my mind on religion.

5. pictures of me, my family, my friends, my crushes, my house, etc. They would know what their ancestors looked like, who I hung out with, who I liked, where I lived, what the world looked like, etc. It's good to know your family.

Extra Credit: my tinkerbell pen. I'm obsessed with Tinkerbell. By that time they probably won't use pens so they'll be like, "What the heck is that?". Then again, we know about how our ancestors used quills to write so maybe they would. Who knows?

Weekend Assignment

Hey, y'all! Well, this is my first Weekend Assignment. For those of y'all that don't know what a weekend assignment is, go to http://journals.aol.com/johnmscalzi/bytheway/ (I hope this isn't illegal or anything. I didn't write it. It was written by johmscalzi@aol.com. If you'd like me to take this link out, I will just ask.) Well, here's my picture. If it's not here, it's because the computer I'm on is incredibly stupid so I'll describe the picture. It's me with a bottle of hairspray aimed at my head. This sounds stupid so let me explain the significance of the photo. I was away at camp and I never wear hairspray except when Lindsay (my bff) makes me. On this occasion, I willingly picked up my hairspray & aimed it at my head befor Lindz could even notice. She gasped when she saw this and made me pause to let her take a photo. This is meaningful to me because it reminds me of camp (which is amazing and I love it) and it reminds me of laughing with Lindz. This is my weekend assignment.

life

I'm feeling so down right now. My bestest friend moved to RI and I miss her very much and I feel so sad right now. RI is a very long way away. ::tears:: I miss her. Well, last night, I felt so awful. I wrote for, like, an hour in my journal (handwritten journal not this). For now, I'm never going to get this done because timmy keeps making me laugh and I can't be properly depressed when I'm laughing so, I'll write tomorrow. Love always, moi
