---------------------------------------------------------

Every one gets their words mixed up every now and then.
It happened to me just yesterday.

Me and my little brother were watching TV and an annoying obnoxious commercial came on: "EVERYBODY BEATS MITCH!"
And of course, I always mimic everything
I say:
"EVERYBODY MEETS B*TCH!"
It was very entertaining.


Now, on to a different note!

This Christmas was very odd and not like any other I've had before..but I find it probably one of my favorites and a memorable one.
And on top of all of that.. I got a keyboard!
and Logic Studio!
:D

I love it

---------------------------------------------------------------

Over the last few weeks I've realized how many people I'm going to leave behind in order to start my new life.
I will get to move out of my house and stuff..that's always fun...
but what about the few friends I have that are actually friends??
I just have to leave them now??

This part of growing up sucks.
I don't really like it.

I know I'll have to go through more eye opening experiences..
like BILLS!!

ugh.

-----------------------------------------------------------

So, on Saturday I received the most wonderful news I've ever heard.

I was just about to get ready for work when my Dad calls me down to the kitchen [great, I was in trouble :)]. Then he hands me an envelope from NAU, a small envelope.
[Earlier I had applied there and was waiting for a response.]
I open it, it was very nervous-making especially since I had my dad reading over my shoulder. I was expecting it to contain no happy-making news...it was a small envelope after all.
But it was a good small envelope!!

I'm accepted to start fall of 2009 as a music performance major. :D

It's so scary to think that in less than a year, I'll be moving out of my home that I've lived in for 13 years and go live on my own. [with some fabulous room mates of course!]
But I think this is what I need. I need to live a new life in order to create and start my new life.

What the H?

Thought of the Day:
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world"

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The other night I had the most disturbing dream.

It was set a year in the future, and the president [I guess was Obama] made this new law that starting in December [2009] we couldn't eat junk food, bread... basically anything of taste. He also made a no music law. The U.S. was slowly turning into a hell.
I was walking down Albertson's Halloween isle and all over pumpkins, bags of candy, bread, were the words "NO" and "EVIL", even "EU" [ which in my dream meant "no" in German...but is really a prefix in anatomy meaning "well"..] Then I accidentally started to eat a Halloween delight...I had to throw it into a jack-o-lanter so Obama wouldn't find out.
And if that's not bad, he made it mandatory that we as citizens had to attend these "haunted houses" which scared us into obeying him.

It was the worst dream ever!
I think it's the future Me telling me not to vote for Obama in 2012.
What do you think?

So Sad

Ignorant people are my biggest pettest peeve. [yes ignorant people are now considered as a pet peeve.]

For example:

London: Part Duex

Thought of the Day:
High school dances are overrated.



-----------------------------------------------------------------

So I've recently invested in a new Ipod. I call her London II [I know, so original]
but she's just not the same :C
but I still love her!

With elections coming up..tomorrow!..I'm so scared that Obama is going to be our next president. If he is, I'm moving to London.
If he wins, its a sure sign that the world is coming to an end.

This year has been going so great. I have a fun job, have great friends [at Westwood and EVIT], super easy classes, and I'm going to graduate. This last Halloween had to be the funnest Halloween I have ever had! My evening consisted of:
-Trick or treating
-Getting free food at Wendy's and Chick-fil-a
-Acting totally crazy and laughing a ton

It doesn't sound like that much fun. But it's the people that you're with that really make it memorable and fun.
I hate how people [especially in the high school world] automatically separate the "nerds" and the "geeks/losers". Why do they do that? Personally, I choose the nerds and the geeks over the "cool popular people" because honestly, the cool ones are the most boring.
They care about how they look and they should act a certain way. You can never be yourself. The really cool people are the nerds/geeks [who aren't really nerds/geeks], they're real.
The "cool ones" just jealous of my friends who are real and don't care about what other people think...that's the way to live life!

In Loving Memory Of

Thought of the Day:



------------------------------------------------------------

So this week was the most stressful thing I've had to endure this whole school year!!

But the most saddest thing happened on the 2nd of October..
My poor little Ipod was stolen...I called her London.

As first hour [Orchestra] started we were in instructed to leave all our belongings in the room and to go rehearse on stage. So I did just that..and I put my school bag in a little corner away from everybody else's. As orchestra came to an end I put my cello away, got my school bag, went in for my Ipod...

and she was gone!!

But not only did someone steal my ipod...they stole another person's too!!
:C

I'm soo sad..
Poor London.
:C



stupid ipod stealing bastards

Yay!

--------------------------------------------------------------------
SO last Wednesday I went to go see Vampire Weekend.
First of all, they are great on stage! But not so great at meeting their fans. :C
It was here when it was confirmed to me that I am destined to be in the music industry. I don't care what people will think of me for going to college to become a music major. It may sound wimpy to them, but to me it's amazing.

enjoy!

Friday the 5th

"That which does not kill you makes you stronger"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So tomorrow I might die.

Not really, I just thought that would be a great attention grabber.

Tomorrow I am going to get my wisdom teeth pulled out. I am not looking forward to it at all... except for the extra sleep I'm going to get and the DRUGS!

..So wish me luck...
and some good icecream.

:D

Who Knew Seminary Could Kill You??

Thought of the Day:



---------------------------------------------------------------------

Life is full of experiences. And we learn from almost all of them right??

Experience #1:
Yesterday, I almost died. After seminary I started making my way back to school, which involves crossing a little street. Before I cross I look to my left..all clear. I look to my right...just a car passing. After the passing car [which took approximately 2 seconds], I stepped out on the street. I just got a text message, so I looked down to read it...and all of the sudden I hear this HONK!!!!!!! I look to my LEFT and there was this huge suburban literally 1 foot away from me! Then I did this man scream...which made even more people look at me.
Lessons Learned:
1.) Look before you cross any street. Then look AGAIN!
2.)Don't text and cross a street before you get hit..because when you do, you look like a stupid careless teenage girl.
3.)Man screams coming from a girl + a car horn draws attention.


Experience #2:
When I came to seminary this morning I saw that my teacher had a seating chart on the board. I find my seat, then look at the name of the person sitting next to. It was a boy..I wasn't too enthused because with my luck, he was just like any other not cute guy in my school. As I was thinking this, he sits down.. and says:

"Hey Brittany,"
Me: "Hello!!...[looks at the board]..Spencer!"

Let me tell you...He was not only was he the cutest guy I've seen in a long time but he was nice too! These kind of people are rare at Westwood. So anyways, class starts and during the hymn I discover he has an amazing singing voice.
Hott.
We talk a little. I find he has amazing eyes and a killer smile.
Then the lights turn off.....for a movie!. I find myself having trouble breathing. I felt like I wasn't getting enough air. So I'm trying to control this...panic attack. My heart starts to hurt and I feel faint. So I started telling myself, quoting Charlie Bartlett "You are having a panic attack. You will not die. In 15 minutes it'll all be over." It got worse! Then my gorgeous partner stands up and leaves for the bathroom. My breathing got better.
Lesson Learned:
Really hott guys make me hyperventilate!

Not good.

It Better Be Worth It

Thought of the Day:
Bella: "Should I be afraid?"
Edward: "Terrified."

-----------------------------------------------------------
OK..seeing that it's one in the morning, I can technically say that Breaking Dawn comes out tomorrow!
I've heard really bad things about this book...from all the cheaters who somehow got it online! I'm so scared..I'm going to be pissed if it's as bad as everyone said it is. Worst birthday ever.
No matter what...I'll always cherish the first and third book forever. :D

So I've recently invested in a newer iPod..that I love!! I bought an 80 gig and I don't know what to do with all the extra space! Help me out here people.



Oh and guess what...



I'm happy!

All Done!

So now as summer comes to an end, mine comes to a start.
I'm so relieved, I've finally finished my summer class at Mountain View. [With an A!!]
EVIT finally came to an end. I've had 3 clients so far! My first gave me a 5 dollar tip..she was nice. :)
So now all I have to worry about is work..
and getting ungrounded. :C

OK.
Worst pet peeve:

I hate it when people complain about things they can't control [except gas prices..because I do that] but it's even worse when it's things that I can't even control. This usually happens when I'm working. Some person will come up and order a whole bunch of gross movie theater food nearing the $30 mark. And when it comes time for me to get their money, they complain at ME, making ME feel bad for wasting all their money. You're the one who wanted all that food. Stupid fat bastards.

OR

when people come up to the counter with a year's supply of free coupons, they whine when they end up having to pay one insignificant dollar to fill up their refillable cup. It sure beats 4 dollars to fill up a cup that same size!

I just love it.

:D

Thought of the Day:

"He who hesitates is lost"
- Proverb



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry for being such a slacker lately... I've never had a busier summer.
I've been taking some classes at Mountain View ...
Evit has totally opened my eyes. I'm now a senior there. We get real live clients who actually care what their hair looks like. Unlike those fake heads we get. I haven't had a client..yet. But I pray that he/she is nice and forgiving.
And work is a whole different story...maybe I'll blog about that later.

Just the other day, out of boredom, I was watching Music&Lyrics.
I got to the part where Alex was recording him and Sophie's little song for Cora and putting it all together...and then it just hit me! I want to do that for a living. I would love writing songs for people.
So, now when my parents ask me why on earth I want to study music in college...I'll have a straight answer!

All I have to do next is marry some awesome musician that has a heavenly voice, and we could be millionaires.

It's Worth It In The End

This summer hasn't been off to such a great start...
It's been work, work, and more work..
But I guess it's ok..I'm getting paid finally!

My best friend lover has been having so many boy troubles. Me and my Mimi were helping her out last night, and alot of the information we gave her helped ME out a ton!
On to a different note:

This past year I couldn't wait to get out of highschool. But now that I'm technically a senior...I'm scared. I'm going to have to apply to colleges, save money, and grow up. I kinda AM a little grown up..but still.
By this time next year, I'll be graduated with a highschool dimploma AND a Cosmetology Liscense. Whoa, this came by real fast for me.
Don't get me wrong, I still can't wait to get out of the hell-hole called Westwood...it's kinda gay.

I'm going to actually have to decide where I want to go with my life..my head is telling me one thing, but my heart wants to do another.
Will I be happy with a butt-load of money, and hardly see my kids [if I have them]??
Or will I be happier with a lower-paying job and spend more time with my kids that most working mothers don't do these days??

I'm so confused.
Theres only one thing I'm not confused about:

Moving AWAY for college.
:D

Vampire??

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



There has been guys that make me get butterflies. There has been some that make me nauseous. Some guys even make me completely crazy. But never in my life has there been one that makes me completely dumbfounded.
Last night at work I had the...privilege to serve a gorgeous guy. But this was no ordinary gorgeous guy, this guy was ENGLISH!

While I was taking his order I guess he made me really giggly, because he asked me why I was laughing at him. I didn't know what to say! His accent was just so cool and sexy, it wouldn't be right just to say 'I love your accent'. But for some strange reason I thought it would be better to tell him:

"I just really love your voice."

It was just embarrassing, I think it earned 'The Most Embarrassing Moment' award for the rest of my life.
He took it ok though, he even laughed a little..in a good way I hope.

I think English men have magical powers...kinda like vampires.

...Maybe he was a vampire.....

NOTE: This picture has nothing to do with my thought..I just wanted to show off my MuseBaby
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am something so vital,
yet truly I do not exist.
I am a measure of fun and happiness, and gloom.
I sometime seem slow, oftentimes fast.
I easily change at the drop of a hat.
I start everything as well as end everything.
Without me your lives would cease.
Oh look at the time!
I must leave.

This is the result of extreme boredom.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is only one way for a teenager to move out after high school and pay for their own schooling...get a job.

Shelby and I have 'tried out' at Cinemark. And guess what? We got called back for an interview!
Oh yes...they'll love us. It has been a while since my last job. I wouldn't really call it a job either..I picked my own days, my own hours, and no one would know if I didn't show up to work that day. Above all, it was easy. Who ever said coaching girls basketball is hard..is wrong.

Lets hope that it's an easy transition. I hope that the job isn't too demanding. As long as I get to work with my fellow fiends I'm content. [But it better be worth it!]

I'm exited. I hope me and Shelby win.

It's not that embarassing..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other night Mimi and I were at Walmart. As we were passing the 'girlie' isle we saw a man standing there, on his cell. He couldn't have looked more uncomfortable. We bet that he was on the phone with his girlfriend asking what kind of feminine 'tool' to get. It was hilarious..we had to turn back for a second glance. He was done and bolted out of there like the devil was on his heels. Poor guy.


On a different note..I just want to say that I'm so happy that I didn't 'waste' my first kiss on just anyone. That's all.

The only bad thing about spring break is that you can't get to bed at a decent hour. So thats why I've decided that:



Anyways, last night I did some heavy duty dreaming.


For some reason the bathroom stalls consisted of 2 or 3 toilets each. When I went to pee, I happened to choose the one with the cute 8th grader that I accidentally flirted with [funny story].
He was sitting, doing his business, and I didn't realize that he was even there until I was commited to that toilet! It was very awkward...and after a while he began to call for his mom.
I think I lost all respect for him now. He was a nice kid too! You can't see a person on the toilet and not look at them differently after words.
Now, I will fight back rolls of giggling and laughter the next time I see him.

Yesterday I found a quarter in Mimi's car.
A little quarter can mean alot when your wallet is full of receipts and no cash.
I have to admit, I did take that quarter. Then the better side of me convinced me to give it back. I put it in her room.

This morning I was trying to find a good church jacket for this windy, cool Sunday. I pulled out one that I hadn't worn for one or two years. I put my hands in the pockets, and low and behold...I found a dollar!!

This afternoon I was telling Mimi, casually, that I considered taking her quarter. Mimi gave it to me! [Paying me for the bracelet that I let her borrow today]

The quarter may seem little and insignificant, but I learned a good lesson today:
I should always be honest because in the end, it pays!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was listening to Muse earlier today with Mimimiers. It caused me to reflect on old, precious memories...I was supposed to kiss Muse. What better way to spend your first kiss?? I couldn't, there were too many buff security guards..and because I chickened out.

But I'm positive that he would kiss me if I just told him that I wanted him to be my first..dang.
Maybe in August, when he plays in London with Travis!
Anyways--

This year my school musical is Brigadoon..I play the cello for it! But over the past couple months I have learned a lot of things.

a.) I learned how to play hard music
b.) I learned how that musicals are okay
c.) I learned that delicious hugs are awesomely delicious.
Ya, it was an awesome experience.

It Has No End!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This year - my junior year- has been especially busy. Tests and quizzes in Trig almost every single week. A piano teacher with high expectations for me. Training to be a Cosmetologist. [Don't think we sit around primping our hair all day. It is hard. I'd like to see you take our chemical relaxer/perm written test..it's a doozy] A house that needs constant cleaning..but somehow I hardly get [make] the time. An online class that absolutely sucked... preparing to re-take the AIMS to get and exceeds..[why do I care so much?]

I just thought that after this year, I would be free of this stress..and the migraines. Then I realized, this will never end. After high school, there is college. After college I have a career. During my career, you have take all these classes yearly in order to stay on top of things!

Who knows..maybe I'll have a bunch of kids to worry about and take care of to top it off. [ I love kids] This is just the beginning Britt. The only time I'll actually be free would be..when I'm retired.. and old.. and with a husband - hopefully. [preferably Justin]

I'll live...don't fret.

So, this weekend was supposed to be grand and chalk full of plans.

Then I got pink eye. With a side of camps.
Great.

Last night I was a teenager. Me and Shelby went and spooned someone [their yard of course]. Then we dedicated more that an hour to prank phone calling our friends. It was awesome.

So, while I'm home bound..I might as well read, play piano, study....all the stuff I should be doing. :C

[That includes staring at JT.]

The other day, Mimi and I went to go take Alex-jandro to his cub scouts thing. Lazy me didn't want to go anywhere, or do anything! Plus, I had a killer migraine.
I thought out loud:

"Why can't our whole houses move?? That way, if we're not ready yet..we can just shower on the freeway!"

Just a thought.
But wouldn't that be awesome?
Lets not think about the fact that our homes can get stolen though.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today in seminary, my teacher asked us one of 'those' questions. Not really thinking about it, I was forced to share my answer basically. I told him how friends really do make a difference in your life. In a spiritual kind of way.
Good friends = good spirit.
Bad friends = bad spirit.
Simple.

Then later, I threw in how parents are always right!
It's true! It took me till 9th grade to finally realize that.
But what really threw me off was that the teacher was impressed. Impressed that I had already learned that lesson. huh.

I'm just so grateful for mi familia. If it weren't for them, I would be one of those girls. The ones that have no clue about what life is really about. Not that I do, but I know it's more than running around malls with your little boyfriend. Or sneaking behind your parent's back. (What's the point of that??)

Are you sorry now??

I was reading a poetry notebook I had started a couple years ago. I was heartbroken and obsessed with boys.

Thinking of You

'As you clasp eachother's hands

YOu tell me

"I was thinking of you"

I don't know if I can tRust you anymoRe
I am going to leave You now
But Not withOut saying these last few Words

I was thinking of you.'
