Stake Dance--Happy New Years!!!! XD

I just barely got home from my stake dance and I had sooo much funn! (no, you-know-who wasn't there .... :'[ .... ) but I had a blast anyway! I went with my friend Jesse and her friend Angela came with us and Ahhhhhhh it was soooooo much fun!!!! And my friend Garret and my other friend Jared were there and I had no freaking idea that they would be there so I ended up dancing with both of them! It was a BLAST!!!!

Anyways....Happy New Years!!!!

What the Heck?

Who am i kidding about him? In what universe would HE like ME? I am so heart broken by it that i think i'm going to give up completely. :'[

Loves....Haylee

Hilariousness.... :D

Yesterday was church and that means my favorite time of the week *gasp* SUNDAY SCHOOL!!!! It is seriously my favorite hour of the week. I look forward to it more than anything else. The reason being: my class is the funnest thing ever. I love every one in it (yes that means ALL OF THEM!!!) pretty much there are only 2 girls, and like 7 guys. but yesterday, there were 6 guys and me. Yep, just me. :D So....yeah here is what I'm trying to get at:
So my friend (we will call him freddy) and the guy I like (man, i gotta give him a name....lets say....jerry :P) are like really good friends and they go to the same school right? Well they were talking and freddy was like "Oh man ya know [that girl?] Man, she is a BABE" and then jerry was like "awh man she is I'm not gonna lie" and they were just talking about this random girl that they think is a babe. Well the conversation died down and then it was seriously like silent. (that NEVER happens in my class) and then my teacher, Jeff [seriously thats his name] Was like "Hey freddy can I ask you a question?" and freddy is like "sure....?" and so then Jeff looks at ME then looks at FREDDY and says "Do you think HAYLEE is a babe?"

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS I WAS LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF.

Because, well, this 'freddy' has asked me out a few times last summer and I'm like pretty sure he likes me (I don't mean it like "oh my gosh he likes me i'm so amazing and everything", but like seriously....) So that makes it even funnier. What made it the funniest was that when Jeff said that Freddy's eyes got all big and he just stared at me. Ahaha I will never forget that.
But the bestest most amazingest part was what happened after Freddy's eyes bugged out of his head. So Jerry was of course laughing at him, as was I. But Jerry's best friend....erm....lets call him....Marty. So Marty wasn't laughing very hard, but he was looking back and forth between me and Jerry. (Remember: Jerry is the guy I just so happen to have that major crush on) Finally, his voice got really quiet and he said "well....jerry does...." (the answer to the previous question. "do you think haylee is a babe") So then, if I remember correctly, Jerry looked at Marty with a "what the heck are you thinking she is sitting right there!" face. I tried so hard not to squeal when he said that. But on the inside....my blood cells were throwin a hugie ginormous party. :D

Yeah....I love sunday school. <3

Its a better day...

Hey guys! It's been better since my last post, not the best but I'm not crying. -that is a good thing- so I thought I'd share my latest story:

Yes it's about him.

Well I had mutual last night (combined ym/yw's) and HE was there <:-D well no I didn't talk to him... :'( -sniff sniff- but I did catch him staring, yup thats right, staring at me a few times. And it wasn't just like a 'shy, oh look away shes lookin at me!' stare, nope. it was a 'ahh look deep into my eyes!' stare <:-D ahh haha I seriously melted...haha and man, he looked very FI-INE last night.
ahh I also get to see him on saturday!!! :-) -what if he asked me out on my birthday!? ah that would be the cutest thing!!!-

...GO BYU!!!...Man I hope they win on saturday, or else it will be a sucky birthday.

Love haylee
- fake friends are like leaves, found everywhere. true friends are like diamonds, precious and rare :-)

One of those days...

It's just one of those days where I just want to sit down and cry and have someone just come and sit next to me and put their arm around me and whisper "everything's going to be ok. I love you"...But I just need to release it all...I'm not perfect you know...

I hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE Jr. High...

Loves, Haylee

Crap...well this is the crappiest start to the crappiest week that leads to the crappiest birthday ever. Well, here comes the big 14. On saturday... :$

Another story...

So last night I went to opening exercises for Young Womens (the prayer, song, themes, scripture, etc) and I was wearing one the most embarassing thing ever. I was wearing white, magenta, and peach tank tops and a magenta Aero jacket over it. I was wearing BRIGHT turquoise capris that say "PINK" on them (VICTORIAS SECRET) with, the best part, PINK AND WHITE STRIPED KNEE SOCKS. yeah. it's so hot huh.
ANYWAY...so the guy I like was there and I guess he had a friend there and I would look over at the guy I like and he'd be lookin at me. Then he'd look for a sec and turn away really fast and whisper something to his friend and then like 5 seconds later they would BOTH turn and look at me...ahh....it was REALLY WEIRD...

so yeah. tonight is volleyball and it rocks.

Now I get to Boo some lucky souls back! So here is how the Blogging Boo will go: Go to as many friends as you want and tell them they've been "B00-ed". Have them link back to your blog to pick up their Halloween Treat (picture) and tell them to Boo their friends. (Then put the pic in your side bar so everyone knows that you've already been boo-ed and to send the pic to someone else.) So be watching your comments to see if you get boo-ed!

...Peace...

OH MY FREAK!!!!

Oh my gosh! So k Kaylee slept over last night (WE HAD A BLAST!!!) But last night we were scootering down the street, with no hands, not very easy-don't try this at home, we are professionals!- haha but then my crush's brother (NERD! HAHA jk he rocks my socks!) hes like 16, texted me and was like
"k haha i'm home from football"
and so i said "k haha well were on yer street! i can see yer house!!!"
so he came outside. then THE CUTEST HOTTEST KID (his brother of who i have a crush on)
came out too!!!! and he was like
"hey is that [my brother(he really said his name but i'm not going to say it)]???"
and so they were talking and I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!!!! Freak! Ugh!
so...yeah. but ironic, he didn't say anything to me either!!!
But another coincidence, on sunday when I walked into sacrament, The 16-year old saw me, smiled, waved, and then whispered something to the hot one!!! but when I asked him after church, He said
"oh well i just smiled at you"
NO! HE DIDN'T! and so then last night when my crush walked out and started talking to him, HE WHISPERED SOMETHING!!! and the coincidence:
BOTH TIMES WERE WHEN I WALKED UP!!!
THIS makes me so mad. He won't tell me what he said!!! Lauren thinks that he really likes me, but won't talk to me, so the 16 Y.O. was saying something like "oh look theres haylee!" or something. I dunno.
I'm just a freak when it comes to boys. ugh, i hate it.
So yeah, there is what i did last night

...Peace...Love...Happiness...
Haylee

Some things...

Well, Just gotta say that I REALLY like this boy...

And Also...

I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT FOR SNOWBOARDING SEASON!!!!

Another Thing...I already knew this but I've been having a bit of trouble with someone lately, so Here's what I have learned. I've learned that I can't control what other people say or do; the only thing that I can control is my own actions and my own mouth and my own emotions. I can't make someone realize something, I can only try to explain it any hope that they understand. No matter how stupid I think something is, I just have to realize that some other person might be thinking the same thing about something I did. I am not the only one with an opinion, and thinking something bad about someone else is the same thing as them thinking something bad about me. So, next time you are thinking about someone or gossipping, Just remember that it is the same thing as them saying/thinking it about you.

Well yeah...Hope your week has been better than mine.

...Peace...Love...Happiness...
<3Haylee

Pet Peeves...

Hey Sadie--thanks for the idea! She asked what other peoples were, so Here I go:

1. Clothes that are too small. UGH! I absolutely hate when I see someone walking down the hall/street/room/whatever, and their pants are only to their ankles or their shirt is like past their wrists!!! Yeah, well I know some people can't like, afford new stuff but COME ON!!!

2. Singing Off-Key. Yes, sometimes I do, but when I do, I ABSOLUTELY HATE MYSELF!!! It bugs me when someone thinks their so cool and such good singers but then they hit a wrong note (flat or sharp) and STILL think their so cool. Wowie.

3. People who think that their always right. I hate it when someone can't take critisism the right way or defend themselves when someone says something to them that they did wrong. (I only do this on my bad days) But like I'll tell someone about something they did to hurt my feelings or something and then that person gets all defensive and tells me that I'm wrong and that I did everything wrong. This really bugs me.

Well, there's my pet peeves. What's yours???
Peace...Haylee

Sorry...

Hey sorry guys! Haven't posted since last month! haha

PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS

9/11

I've been thinking about today and what happened 7 years ago. I walked into the school today thinking, "oh well it's september 11, and oh well its an important day." But never really thought about it until 4th period. My teacher, Mrs. Hamilton, showed us a movie about the twin towers and the world trade center. Watching all the devastation, people jumping out of the buildings and just seeing those planes collide into the towers, it made me really think, i even got "teary eyed" and was about to cry. It made think of this song, "Have You Forgotten?" by Darryl Worley. It makes this song even more special to me.

I hear people saying we don't need this warI say there's some things worth fighting forWhat about our freedom and this piece of ground? We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in Before you start preaching Let me ask you this my friend

Have you forgotten how it felt that day

To see your homeland under fire

And her people blown away?

Have you forgotten when those towers fell?

We had neighbors still inside

Going through a living hell

And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden

Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V. Said it's too disturbing for you and me It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say If it was up to me I'd show it every day Some say this country's just out looking for a fight After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

Have you forgotten how it felt that day

To see your homeland under fire

And her people blown away?

Have you forgotten when those towers fell?

We had neighbors still insideGoing through a living hell

And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden

Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers Who've gone away to war And you can bet they remember Just what they're fighting for

Have you forgotten all the people killed?

Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field

Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?

All the loved ones that we lost

And those left to carry on

Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten?

I've watched videos, I'm watching the History channel right now, and I'm about to cry listening to the stories about the survivors' stories and how depressing it is for the people in the building who were killed. Mrs. Hamilton was also telling us about how the people who were on the plane that crashed put up a fight when they learned that the terrorists were going to hit the white house. They were saying "don't do it! we will do what ever we can to stop you!" and things like that, but they all knew they were going to die. so they all called their families and said good-bye.

I cannot believe that these people would do anything to do this. I just saw on the history channel this woman who lived in NY and her husband worked in the World Trade Center. She was awaiting his call to tell her that she was ok and then she got ahold of him and all he said was "I'm gonna be ok, just stay calm, and if this doesn't end well, just know that you made my life amazing" and then hung up. She called her husbands friend and was talking to him, and then she said, "i'm just so scared," and then he was about to say something, then on the TV, the buliding collapsed. all he could her was her anguishing, blood-curdling cry, because her husband was directing people to saftey, and his buliding just had collapsed.

I cannot possibly imagine how devastating that is, I did not have anyone I knew in New York at the time, nor do I know anyone who was. But just listening to these stories makes me so sad to think about how much pain everyone who had loved ones in those bulidings and lost loved ones.

I have to come to a close, because I can't write more. It's too much for my emotion to handle. Maybe when I gain control I will write more, but as of now, just think about these stories, the song, all these things.

May God Bless all our lives with peace and may He bless our country

Instead of LOVIN' the first day...ya know...seein all the cutie freshmen...meetin'
teachers...enduring school lunch...seein' all your friends for the first time in ever...all that fun stuff?Yeah. Guess what I was doing? I was at HOME...PUKING MY GUTS OUT. AGAIN.

I am starting to think I'm CURSED. I mean, last year I was sick and MISSED the first day and this year I was sick and MISSED the first day.

I swear, SOMETHING is wrong with me.

ANYWAY...as you thought there would be no point to this post...Here is the good stuff about summer! (BEWARE: THIS IS GOING TO BE A LOOOOOOOONG POST--HOPE YOU CAN STAND READING ABOUT MY BORING LIFE)

1. GIRLS CAMP AND OAKCREST:

Way fun! I just have one thing to say--when you get the chance to go to church camps and stuff, GO! It is NOT a waste of your time! While I was there, I gained New Friends, A stronger testimony, Ways to stand myself not showerin for 3 days, you name it! Oh--haha I met Hailey C. for the first time :] She's real awesome (Call me Hailey! We still gotta hang out!) Can't wait to get to know her more! :] Haha. I also learned how to sleep on a tarp with like...over 100 giggling girls surrounding me. (Not fun but ha) And how to golf. That's right, Golf.

2. LAKE POWELL:

SO fun!!!!!!!!! I went to Lake powell with my Dad, Brothers, Grama and Grampa, and my bestest friend SAM! We had the BEST TIME! Gosh we went on my Grampa's boat and stayed in a trailer (on the land...) and Tanner and Tyson and Sam kneeboarded! My grampa also got out there, but on the coolest thing called the AIR CHAIR! Its like a chair that you ski on. Its cool. But our favorite thing to do is absolutely positively the MOLICULE! Its like a really cool tube that is like..this.Cool right? Except ours is red and grey. But this thing is the coolest thing EVER because it doesn't flip over. we somehow kept flipping OFF, but the tube stayed right side up. hahaha. This tube seriously rubbed our skin right off...just ask me or Sam to show you our elbows and knees. (we rode on it on our stomachs) oww. and kay we got sunburned SO BAD. Like, my forehead was peeling, gross right? Yeah probably too much info there. heh. sorry.

*haylee*

What is it doing?

I was thinking and I read a post on another blog that made me decide to post about this serious problem in our world. No, its not about "green is the new black" or "clean up the earth" or anything like that. No, its about some things you see every day that are seriously having a great effect on human beings!

My first "rant" is about Coke, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, all that great stuff.

Well, maybe not as great as you thought. I read about a girl (I don't know this girl) who was watching her dad clean the engine of her car or something, and he went and got a coke and DUMPED, that's right, DUMPED the coke on the engine. Right away, it started eating away at the rusty old engine. She was in shock. She ran and told her mom what happened and her mom commented on how they sometimes use coke products to clean blood off the roads after accidents.

Another thing I felt the need to mention, I heard about a Science Fair project on caffine and what it does to your teeth. So, this person took some teeth and put one in each cup. After that, this person poured Dr. Pepper in a cup, coke in a cup, orange juice in a cup, and water in a cup, each seperately. Then this person left the cups and teeth alone for about 1-2 weeks. Then at the end of the time period, they took the teeth and saw a clear change in the teeth. The two teeth that were in the dr. pepper and coke almost had nothing left to them. (Talk about tooth decay!) and the one in the O.J. was a little discolored but had no decay to it. The one in the water was just as they had put it in.

Next time you are going to open a can of that 'wonderful' stuff, think about these stories and think about what its doing to you. If it can eat away at car engines, teeth, and roads, just imagine what it can do to your insides.

Does this have any effect on you?

The next rant I'm going to post about is smoking. Every time I go to a gas station, I see all the cigarettes for sale and I think, "Why? Why do people buy this crap!?" and I makes me wonder if these people even know what its doing to them. I just want to point out to you that it is DESTROYING your body. Sure, at school you hear "don't smoke" and you see those commercials about the vultures that sell "smokes" to people and then they eat them and a sign comes on that says "smoking. its a dangerous road." and you think nothing of it. But really, smoking gives you lung cancer, emphasema (or how you spell it) you name it. Why do they do it? Why?

yeah. so think about it.

*haylee*

The Dreaded Countdown...

Hate to break it to ya but there are only 25 days of summer until we have to go back to school. Party it up while you still can people!!!

**student on vacation for 25 more days**

Couple things on my mind...

So...decided to post today...

Sorry this post is so long but I need to get it out of my system and its worth reading :]

(maybe not this portion but the next)
Places I want to go...

• lake powell


• california


• london


• paris


• a cruise in the carribean

Places I'm actually going...

• Hobble Creek Canyon


• my house


• lake powell

as you can see, the only place i'm actually going to end up going is GORGEOUS LAKE POWELL! I'm so excited! but on thursday-saturday i'm going to hobble creek canyon for girls camp. seriously! i just got back from girls camp! gosh! yeah well i think my house is the most boring thing there is on this planet. oh well, i think i'm gonna live.

GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK

this, "green is the new black/pink/blue" thing, is kinda starting to bug me. almost every single girl i see walk by me somewhere (i.e. the mall, movies, walkin down the street with their friends) is wearing a shirt that says "love our planet" or "go green" or "trees are for hugging" and this severely bugs me. YES i do love our planet and trees ARE for hugging (bwahahahahahahahah no i'm not a scary tree hugger) but when i see "preppy" girls walking around in that it makes me think that they are just wearing it because its "in" at the moment. i bet they don't even care about the planet, but the fact that its a cute shirt. i guess what i'm tryin to say...i don't know. but am i the only one that it bugs? please give your opinion on this

Oakcrest!!!

I learned a couple things during the past week up at Oakcrest Girls Camp (LDS girls camp for 7th-8th graders). I learned:

• to bring LOTS and LOTS of food with you!
• making friends isn't hard!
• bugspray is a blessing
• to be thankful for good food, a bed, bug-free homes, and yummy water
• praying is more than just asking for help
• latrines are gross
• "well water" tastes good
• i love my family (more than i thought!)
• bad habits are really hard to break
• being in a cuss/crude word-free environment has taught me to break my bad habit of saying "freakin" and "crap" and "stupid" and all that

I loved oakcrest! It was so fun and I can't wait to go next year! And it was fun meeting Hailey C. She's cool! well yeah!

7 Things...

Well...based off of Miley Cyrus's new song...7 things...here are 7 things that I hate about Miley Cyrus:

1. She changed her name. And now I've heard that she's changing it back.

2. In this song...she is trying to mix country and punk rock...and those 2 styles don't mix well.

3. She gets all dolled up like shes 20! While I was watching the CMA she sang with her dad. She looked like a peacock with alot of showing. They make her look so old but she really isn't that much older than me!

4. When she sings, her voice sounds the same as when she is talking.
5. She sings to low for a girl. Well, at least in my opinion--and you can't argue with my opinion.
6. Her Vanity Fair pictures--which were awful.
7. She took those pictures. Gosh people! She's only 15-16!!!


So, these are the 7 things I hate about her. Hope you found any point to this post.

Good Use for an Empty Plastic Bag

Have you ever gotten like really way annoyed by plastic bags? I have. They just sit around and get no other use. They bug me! So I came up with a new use for them!

You know how I'm into like cleaning up the Earth right now? Well. If I keep an empty Wal-Mart bag or something in the car, I can pick up trash wherever I go and have somewhere to put it when its full!

You should start this too...

Lately...

Lately, my emotions have been all mixed up. Partly because of the guy problem. Partly because I haven't been able to hang out with my friends. Partly because of fights. But mostly because of my brother.

He asked for my help to solve a problem with one of his friends, so I tried as best I could and sent this person an email (pretending to be him) saying that he was sorry and that he'd been acting like a jerk and that he would turn over a new leaf and be a better person. Then I told him that he had to do what the email said or else it wouldn't be what he said he would be. So he said he would. And then I sent him an email giving him advice if he ever got mad and pretty much told him how much I care about him and that he can come to me if he needs to.
Then he was emailing two people and started acting kind of arrogant and jerk-ish. So I told him that that wasn't nice and he needed to change that. (He asked me to be his "problem-helper") But then he got all angry with me and called me a (direct quote) "big really really really literally really fat brat."
So I sent him another email saying that I had really seriously told him that I really cared about him and all he had done is call me a big fat brat and that I didn't really appreciate that. Then I said that I hope all I said to him had knocked some sense into his "thick head" (didn't really mean it) but then he totally took it like i was dissing him and started yelling at me. And I mean...YELLING. So then I got all angry because my efforts had been in vain and that my brother is a mean boy.

Sometimes...he makes me so mad.

If you have anything to say that would lift my spirits, that would be greatly appreciated.

umm...

umm....so....well....i think that *reginald is going to 'break up' with me really soon. he IS going to high school...but i really really really really like him....so i'm kinda sad......uh....yea....if he's readin this...just know....i still like you.....

Ok, I saw this movie yesterday! It is the cutest/funniest/greatest disney/pixar movie I think I've ever seen! Well, I like all movies like that but I really REALLY like this one!

It has a very good message! During the movie, the Captain was talking to the little plant that EVE had (given by Wall-E) and then one of the leaves came off. It was meaningful to me because right there, in my popcorn covered seat, I realized that the earth is becoming (slowly but surely) like the Earth in the movie. Then, the captain said something to the saying, "don't worry little plant! all you need is someone to take care of..." and then he paused and continued, looking at the pictures that EVE had taken of the earth,

"all earth needs is someone to take care of it."

The earth is becoming polluted with smog, garbage, smoke, fire, and lots of other things. But when the captain said that line, it hit me. All the earth needs to be the sanctuary that it is capable of being, is everyone to take care of it. So, next time you see garbage on the ground, just pick it up and put it in the garbage can. Next time you see some people doing damage to something, tell them to stop. Together, We CAN make a difference in this world! So lets get off our lazy butts and make a difference! Instead of sitting and watching some person on the t.v, go outside and jump on the tramp! Instead of moping around saying "i wanna go swimming!" call up some friends, make a plan, and go swimming! WE ARE THE FUTURE AND WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

TOUR!!!

SOOO...As most of you already know, I have been in CALIFORNIA the past week, and I just barely got home last night at like 11! Here's how it went down.

Day 1
We left Monday morning at 6:15 AM to go to the airport. Our flight left at 8:40 AM and was quite peaceful! We arrived at Long Beach Airport at 9:40 AM and chilled there for an hour or so. Then we went to the Santa Monica mall/pier and performed. After that, we just hung out at the beach until like 5, then headed back to the hotel and chilled, swam, and talked.

Day 2
Tuesday we went to Universal Studios! My favorite rides were the Mummy, Jurassic Park, The Simpsons ride, and the Studio Tour (it was funner than I thought it would be!). The shows I liked were the Waterworld show and the Fear Factor Live show.

Day 3
Six Flags Baby! It was over 100` like all day and one of the water rides was shut down! But we lived. I'm here typing this aren't I? Well yea we performed on the HOTTEST stage I think I've ever danced on. But I had a BLAST! After, we went to In & Out Burgers and I got a really yummy chocolate shake. Then we went and chilled at the hotel again. I went swimming that day, and got pushed in by Tyler. Haha, thanks Tyler! Just kidding. But today there was alot of drama in my group, and I mean ALOT. It's called "third day drama" and it hit all of us. dang!

Day 4
On this day, the Young Americans (4-6th grade group) went home and we performed at an old folks home and then went to eat at Subway and then we went swimming again. Again, there was alot of drama.

Day 5
The last full day--Knottsberry Farm! Again, it was over 100` all day but we dealed with it by keepin' cool on the rides! My favorites were X-celleration, Montezuma's Revenge, Jaguar, and the Silver Bullet. They were so much fun! The performance today was probably the best I think we've ever done! Our teacher was talking to us before we went on and he was saying, "You guys, I've seen the awesome stuff you can do and I haven't really been feeling it this week. I know you can do better!" so that made us work as hard as we could for him! Other than that, MORE DRAMA.

Day 6
The Last day to an AWESOME tour! Today we had NO performance and we checked out of our hotel and then headed over to Santee Alley for SHOPPING!!! I think I got the best deals I've ever gotten shopping. And when we went back to the bus to go to the airport, I still had $21 left and more energy, I could have kept going! Yea it was hot, but getting new stuff was totally worth walking around outside for 4 hours!
Funny story...you know that kid Reginald* I like? Well. He spent the week in Washington with his family and I texted him a few times off my friend's phone. When we got to the airport in CA, I was sitting kinda by the bathrooms and I heard someone say "Haylee!...Hey!" and I looked up and HE WAS RIGHT THERE! So I sat there staring at him for a few seconds and then I finally said "Hi!". Then he walked into the bathroom and like all my friends came up to me and were all "Hey who was that!?!?" and "Haylee, Hes hott!" and all that and I was just like "That's *Reginald! He is hott isn't he?" Haha it was really funny! And he was even on my flight! Yea it was really ironic!

That's what I've been up to the past week and I'm going to miss all the people in X-Plosion, Elite, Attitude, and Young Americans! Heck, I'm going to miss EVERYONE!

Swimming, Swimming and More Swimming

Well Swimming has started and I'm loving every min. of it! Yesterday was the start of morning practice and I got up at 5:45am and went to the Treehouse with my mom so she could coach her triathalon class. Then at 7 my workout started! I was crankin it! Heh, but I'm so glad I have swimming to last me through the summer because it is one of my absoulute favorite things to do! Last night was our first meet with PepperWood and we probably lost but I swam
200 yd Medley Relay (me as Butterfly) #7
100 yd IM #39
50 Back #51
50 Fly #61
I think I've never been more challenged. IM, Back and Fly were all like 10 events apart and it was hard to catch my breath before the next event. But, in all my racing, I dropped 3 sec. off my IM time, 3 off my Back time, but gained 1 on my fly. I think this was a good first meet.
Just Keep Swimming!

My songs

Hey guys I put up a blog with some of the songs I wrote and I want to know what you guys think about it! here's the link:

So Far...

Well as of right now...it's a really sucky day.
First, I had to mow the WHOLE lawn. Believe me, it's big.
Then, I come in to talk to my hottness, but my dad tells me I have to drag the mower back into the shed. I tried, believe me. But I couldn't get it in, so i went to get the bags full of grass.
Then I was talking to my lover, but it's been costing him to text me (because I don't have a phone, he's been texting my email=internet=$$) so I can't talk to him for a while unless I text him. So then I asked my dad/mom if I could get a phone sometime this summer and they told me I need a DECENT reason. As If! Isn't the need to talk to important people a decent reason? I also threw in that I'm going alot of places this summer and might need a phone. Then they said that I will have access to them if I absolutely need it, because EVERYONE HAS A PHONE NOWADAYS. Except me that is.
Well after this argument, I'm in the midst of a couple big fights.
One, my best friend is mad at me because she thinks I did something bad, but I didn't because it is SICK and WRONG! And she thinks that I'm like best friends with this other girl that she doesn't like, I mean, hates because during the year, this other girl has done some ruthless things to us. But, the girl was being nice to me yesterday so I didn't want to ruin it and scoff at her, so I was nice back. But she 'latched' onto me again-she does this every time! And I don't really want to be her best friend because she will burn both of us (me and my best friend) again. So I dont' know what to do about this!
Second, my best friend and my other friend are fighting because of a reason I really don't know. I mean, COME ON GIRLS! It's summer! No more school! You guys are really driving me up the wall! Let it go! Whatever you guys did to make eachother mad, just forget about it and don't do it again! CHILL!
I am so sick of girl fights. They are mean, ruthless, lying, stupid fights. If you really think back on why you are so mad, it probably isn't a really good reason! And Sam, it's becoming hard to be your best friend because of these reasons! I still LOVE you to DEATH! But I really just want all the immature, stupid fighting to stop! We're moving up a grade, and that means a CLEAN SLATE! PLEASE!?!?
Anyways, Yea. This is not a good day for me.
<3/eh.

OH MY CODFISH!

OK I'M really having a moment. LIKE I was bawling when our principal was like "SCHOOLS OUT!" and I stayed like an hour after school ended because I was crying and giving people hugs and then guess what. HE HUGGED ME four times! I was really happy but then sad because --sniff-- He can't hug me anymore!!! ]': I was crying and you don't want to see me cry because I have a REALLY ugly crying face. yea well i LOVE YOU ALL AND I HOPE YOU HAVE THE BESTEST SUMMER EVER!
<3/emotional baby

Sniffle, sniffle *tear*

Ok today was field day and tomorrow is the real true last day of school! Today when we were saying good byes (sam's last day was today--she's going to St. George) i was about to CRY! Like, I really had to swallow that huge lump in my throat, the kind you get when you're called a brat by your best friend. And I almost had tears in my eyes. Tomorrow is going to be so hard! and I hope reginald* gives me a hug tomorrow. Or talkes to me. Either one will work. But Oh My Codfish I'm going to break out in tears tomorrow! Like because most of my friends are older (ninth) and their all going to high school. I'm really going to have a moment tomorrow...
<3/emotional freak

Aw Crap.

Well, I know it may SEEM that I'm just copying everyone and writing about the end of school but...well I just have to say this! I'm kinda sad that school is ending! I, unlike most of everyone who actually goes to a NORMAL school, get out on Friday. Lame Huh? Well yea, I mean, sure I HATE the work portion, but pretty much my entire life is school! I mean, I spend almost my whole life there! Heh, but it's true! And I'm really going to miss all of my friends over the summer and especially my 9th grade friends that are movin' on up to HIGH SCHOOL! I'm SO happy for them, High School is ALOT better than Jr. High, but I'm REALLY going to miss seeing them in the halls and orchestra and lunch and assemblys all the time! I'm also going to miss my friends that aren't going back to APA next year. As far as I know, none of my seriously close friends aren't leaving--at least no one has told me if they are--but IF they do leave, I will miss them! AAAAAAND 'Reginald' isn't going to my High School and I won't see him anymore! That is probably one of the biggest reasons that I'm sad this year is coming to an end. I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD SUMMER!!!
<3/haylee!>
OH AND You NEED to call me this summer--I'm going to be on trips for some times but other wise...CALL ME AND WE NEED TO HANG OUT!

Another try at it...

I've been thinking AGAIN (i've heard that's not very good for me--Kidding!) but I really think it would be a good idea to start an advice column! please give your thoughts on this! Thank you SO MUCH!

5th grade math problem

Kay i know this goes against my last post (see below) but i want to see if you guys can solve this:

This is a 5th grade math problem. If you can open the spreadsheet, you'll see the list of people who have gotten the correct number.

This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs.

There are 7 girls in a bus.

Each girl has 7 backpacks.

In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.

For every big cat there are 7 little cats.

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

(The _number of legs_ is the _password_ to unlock the Excel sheet. If you open it, add your name (re-save it) copy/paste it into an email, and send it on to see who else can unlock it)

E-mail me for the page that has the Excel sheet: pop._princess{at}hotmail{dot}com

CAN YOU PEOPLE GET THE CORRECT ANSWER!?!?!?!?!? IF SO, TELL ME I DON'T GET IT!!!!!!!!!!
