American Idol-my opinion

Well-I have to say it:



I really truly dislike Jason. He kind of scares me!


Syesha has captured me-she has a very powerful voice and range.

David A. is going to win-I'm pretty sure!

David C. kind of seems stuck up and full of it. Don't get my wrong-he's pretty cute!

We're down to the top 4 and I think either Jason or Syesha will be off next week. If Jason's on one more time-I think I'm going to DIE! I'm entitled to my own opinion but I want to hear yours. COMMENT!

News

Well-first-today was the soccer game that determined whether we moved on or not. We're not. We lost 3-1. Not cool. Those girls on the other team were abusive too. Abusive is my new word. I like it.

Also-me and rach figured out that Gatorade should have a label that says:

'Warning! Steroids in a Bottle!'

Haha! We were SOOOOO hyper-my "teacher" (he's not really my teacher-we call him mike) got waaay mad at us for yelling 'MIKE!' it was funny and now we can't call him mike anymore.

Next-APA IDOL WAS TODAY! I'm very excited. The top 10-Me, Rach, Ashlee, Sarah, Rachel, Emily, Janessa, Garret, Joe and Jared-all sang and the public (jr. high) voted on who they thought was the best. The results were:

1st place: GARRET!

2nd place: EMILY!

Runner-up: ME!!!!!

I was sooooo happy! If I could vote-I would have voted for garret as choice #1 and Rach and choice #2. They were both reaaaaaally good! After-I got SWARMED by my friends and they were all screaming. It was pretty funny! :]Well-that's all for now. fun huh? I'll post more later. For now-I'm done.

I believe

I just felt like I had to share this:



I DO believe in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I DO believe that Joseph Smith DID restore the true church on the Earth, and it IS here today.
I DO believe that Thomas S. Monson is the real prophet, seer and revalator (if that's how you spell it)
I DO believe that the Book of Mormon was translated correctly and that everything in it is true.
I DO believe that the Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father are 3 seperate beings.
I DO believe also, that if you need to find an answer if you are doubting any of this, that if you read this scripture: [James 1:5]

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

then you will know for sure that the church is true and that if you are in it, you will be blessed.

Thanks! I just had to share that and make sure you all knew that I'm not just saying I believe. I REALLY DO BELIEVE!

ME AND MY FRIEND Sadie (vmk name-SadieLadySadie) ARE GOING TO EAT THE PEOPLE WHO EVER THOUGHT OF DOING THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And everyone is fighting the system! like, on MAIN STREET, there was like a real protest going and there's even a site set up for a petition!

Apple Trees...

Ok so girls I got this forward from one of my good friends Mikell and Mckayla-just wanted to share it because it seems totally true!

Girls
are like apples
on trees. The best ones
are at the top

of the tree. The boys don't want

to reach for the good ones because

they are afraid of falling

and getting hurt. Instead, they get the

rotten apples from the ground that

aren't as good, but easy. So the apples

up top think something wrong with

them when in reality they're amazing.

They just have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all

the way

to the top

of the tree

You are all the apples at the top of the tree. If it seems like the guy you like or nobody likes you, they are just intimidated by your gorgeousness! Just wait for the right guy to come along and be the brave one who is willing to take the chance and climb to the top of the tree!
