Girls Night

Lately I have been spending a lot of time with Ethan (my boyfriend of almost 4 months). We go out to eat, or we watch a movie at my house, or we yell strange things at hoodlums in the walmart parking lot. We have a lot of fun. But because of the time spent with him I haven't had much girl time.

Last night. I decided to change that.

I had four girls over at my house last night we rented some movies, bought a thing of cheesedip, some brownie mix, and a 2 litter of Mountain Dew. We were set! The first movie we attempted to watch last night was a zombie movie, Land of the Dead or something. We were hoping it would be a ligit, brain-shooting, rotting guts, zombie's in wells, kind of movie. But we couldn't make it past the first 20 minutes of a cheerleader zombie and one with a trombone.

We watched The Haunting in Conneticut as it began to get darker. My house is already creepy enough to people who aren't used to it. So watching a movie about a house made of dead bodies didn't help our case much. Espicially when it is based on a true story.
Tara and Alexis screamed so loud. And to freak them out Katie just screamed at bizzare and awkward moments. I ended up going outside to the window by our TV and jumping out at them and scaring the living watermellon out of them.

At a party, when all fails, play Truth of Dare. No party is complete without at least one person doing something stupid. I ended up gargaling and drinking a concoction of pickle juice, apple juice, and red wine vinngegertte and Alexis had to belly flop on my trampoline, without a shirt on, in the cold.

So girls, no matter how wonderful and amazing your boyfriends are don't forget about your friends!
And parents, if you are going to let your daughter have 4 friends over and 5 acres to be stupid don't expect a little havic not to occur.

Thanks for reading! Leave me a comment!

O and by the way....I hid under your porch. Because I love you >:)

LMS

LMS-Like my status. This translates in my mind to, "I am self absorbed and want more attention".

For those who don't know what I am talking about, many people put their status's on Facebook LMS if I have ever made you smile. Or LMS and I will tell you one truth about you. And man this bugs me.

With the like my status if I have ever made you smile, or if you are really my friend I think the condescending teenagers just like hearing how great they are and how many people like them. So the people who put those up are 1 of three possibilities: self absorbed, under appreciated, or bored and out of ways to entertain themselves.

The LMS and I will tell you a truth is just as bad if not worse than the other LMS's. When you like a status saying that it is basically saying, "Hey! Come hurt my feelings! I don't mind." No matter how well you know a person, if you ask somebody to tell you a truth about you there is a very large possibility that the comment won't be nice. People of this generation find "the truth" to act as an outlet to be rude and get away with it.

That is all I have to say on LMS. I hope you stop your silly habits of posting them because they're also insanely annoying! Now my fellow fools! Go enjoy your life because well who wants a sucky life?

It Ticks Me Off! My Boys Desere Better!

I know it has been a while since I have written. Sorry about that. But since I am back I am more inspired than ever!

I want to address this blog to all those insanely pretty girls out there. You may be gorgeous and phenomenal in every way but no matter what, you aren't that important and you have no right to treat all of my close guy friends like poop! It isn't nice and it ticks me off! So cut it out! Lately a friend of mine, *Bob* has been coming to me asking for help, advice, and my famous comforting hugs. Poor Bob is sweet, handsome, and only wants the best. He could honestly get any girl he wanted. The one girl his heart is set on, however does not seem to care at all for him. He continues to text me asking me what he is doing wrong and all I can do is reassure him that it isn't him. What it seems to me is his girlfriend is too full of herself and too immature to think about Bob's feelings. It breaks my heart to see Bob going through this. In the long run no guy will ever stay with you if you continue to think you are the biggest thing that came out since the iPhone. If you aren't nice to the people that do like you, you won't get very far in life. Treasure what you have because every time you are mean to them there is a good chance you are pushing them into another girls arms.


Moral of the story. BE NICE! O, and no matter how purple the rock, it won't run a 5K.

Justin, the Twitter Bird.

Today I was told to write a blog about my friend Justin Gunnoe. I didn't think I was actually going to do it, but here I am, writing about Justin Gunnoe. He was telling me how addicted he was to Twitter, the Hunting Channel, and cheese sticks in 3rd period today. Those are terrible things to be addicted to! I told him this and to my surprise he was actually offended. He began to explain the reasons why he loved all of them. He told me Sonics cheese sticks were the best, and that they were like love in his mouth. He couldn't explain to me why he likes the Hunting Channel, all he said was he blamed his dad. But Twitter caught my attention the most. He went on telling me about how often he is on Twitter and how it runs up his phone bill. All I could say was, "Really? Twitter? That is a stalkers paradise. What is so great about Twitter?"
I have a Twitter but I am rarely on it because I find better things to do with my time then to Tweet all the time. But then in 5th period I realized how often I have incredible, brilliant, and world changing thoughts that I forgot before I had time to tell anybody about them. I suppose that is what Twitter is for, to get your thoughts out before you forget them. So I guess I will get back on Twitter, just so I can share my knowledge about life with all the unfortunate, lousy, losers out there who are no good at thinking so they decide to follow me.

So there you are Justin, a blog about you. Now stop head-butting me!

I'm no therapist, but I like to think I am pretty smart

Ok, so I have had a past couple of crummy days, eh...weeks. But, I have discovered some really good ways to get yourself together when it seems nothing is going your way. And although it may not cure your problems some things can just change your mind set completely.

First of all, you can change your day before it even happens. Whether your day is good or bad can be altered by a different mind set. When you wake up and you jump in your steaming shower, instead of dreading the test 2nd period, think about having a good day. Convince yourself it is going to be a good day. That can have a large effect on the outcome of your day.

Ok, now imagine you find out your boyfriend of 3 years was cheating on you with your best friend. Some girls find that the best solution to heartbreak is stuffing your face with chocolates as a comforting substitute, watching sappy, gross, love-dovey movies (which I don't understand), and crying on your mom's shoulder. In my experience, a great way to get any anger emotions out is throwing eggs. I have gone through 3 dozen when I had to deal with a dumb little girl who decided she wanted to ruin my life. Luckily, I threw the eggs instead of punching her in the face like I wanted to.

I LOVE to sleep. If I could, I would eat and sleep all the time. Unfortunately, I do not like being fat. But other then making you fat, sleeping is a great way to blow off steam. I do a lot of my best thinking sleeping (if that makes sense at all). I do this all the time and it drives my friends NUTS! If am in a "text argument" and about to blow up on somebody for their ignorance or lack of common courtesy I will simply ignore the text and go to sleep. Yea, it is pretty childish but I think most people would rather that then the other choice which is me blowing up on them like nobodies business.

Last but not least, take your I-pod and go for a walk/run. Not only does the exercise release endorphins, but listening to your I-pod lets you hear other peoples problems that they have decided to sing about. I love sweating when I am upset. In my mind it lets me rid my body of the sad and upset toxins. Even though I know it isn't logical at all, it still gives me a mental excuse to burn off the chocolate from that break-up.

So! Recap! Throw eggs, sleep, run! And there you have it, a happy human being! Isn't that better then paying a load of money to have a therapist tell you your days have just sucked? I think so. Your welcome!!!

Excuses Excuses

Dear excuse makers,

This one's for you.
Did you know that excuses don't fix anything? If not then this blog may be an eye opeaner. People that continuously make excuses for every little thing are just annoying! And it isn't just parents and teachers that it bothers (although they are the ones that gennerally get onto you for making excuses) but as a friend I can't stand to hear lousy reason after lousy reason. If you are twenty minutes late meeting me, instead of saying, "Oh my goodness I had homework and I forgot, the traffic was terrible, and my mom kept getting onto me for every little thing" All I want to do is tell you to shut up and apologize. I think that is the worst part, when somebody makes all these excuses and dosn't apologize! It drives me absoulutly nuts. I just want to hit them with a sledge hammer!

All excuses do is make you look immature, pathetic, and irresponsible. Sometimes people mess up, it is just part of life but not having the nerve to get over yourself and fess up. I mean come on.

Well I hope this blog changes your look on life and everything else you ever thought you knew. Glad I could help!
Look at this new cute face ---> !.! it's like a little robot face! Thanks for reading leave me a comment would ya?

Bad luck

Guest written by our friend Mason Abbott

I am probably the unluckiest person alive. I do not know why I am so unlucky. I try not to dwell on it, but sometimes it starts to bother me. For example, last week I was enjoying reading a book on a pleasant, rainy day. The storm was very relaxing and I was enjoying my book. Then, all of the sudden lightning strikes a tree outside and it bursts into flames. I guess the electric current traveled through the ground and into the house because the next thing I know the alarm is going off. I have read all the alarm system saftey guides and I know electricity is dangerous. But I needed to turn off the alarm, I hit the correct buttons, but the current shocked my fingers so bad I was thrown to the ground. How does this happen? Why did a relaxing day turn into a nightmare? The only explanation is that I am unlucky. I honestly cannot think of another excuse. Perhaps I should go get a horseshoe or a lucky penny. Something needs to change because I am not sure how much longer I can take bad luck.

ADVENTURE TIME

Hey you guys I'm sorry it has been a while since I have posted. I have had a crazy busy schedule lately!

But today I want to talk to you about something REALLY important!
ADVENTURE TIME! Yea, I said it. Adventure Time, the best cartoon out there! The subject came to me when Ethan (my incredible boyfriend) bought me the Jake the Dog hat at Spencer's yesterday. The reactions I got on it were insanely diverse.
From the adults I got "Why do you have a dog on your head?", "What's up with it's eyes?", and a whole bunch of awkward chuckles. Parents didn't seem to be too fond of my incredible hat!

But anybody that was under the age of 30 thought it was the coolest thing! They asked me where I got it, told me Ethan is the most amazing boyfriend on the planet, and told me they were planning on stealing it. Now, I know that a lot of those kids were Adventure Time "posers" meaning they don't really keep up with the show they just think the characters are cute and the sayings they read on the shirts are funny; like "Shmowzow", "Algebraic", "Flip what the zip", and "Slam a cow". But ,that is OK with me.

Ethan brought me home last night and my mom just flat out couldn't take me seriously with it on and it was even worse seeing Ethan wearing it and imagining he got nine tackles the night before. It got me thinking what is it that ages 7-28 love the show but any "real" adults just don't get it. It doesn't bother them like screaming Sponge bob, they just don't see why we all love it.

The reason I love it is because it is so bizarre, it has an insanely simple theme song consisting of a ukulele and vocals but then the show is just out of the blue. One of my friends tried to describe it as going on an acid trip without having to. Between the unicorn made up of a rainbow, little candy people who live in a candy city that giant women try to eat, and bad guys that will turn poor people into a foot just to prove to them that he is a good for nothing jerk, and how delicious tofu human is I guess the reason we like it is because it is like the story books our parents used to tell us, just to more of an extreme.

Well comment your opinions! I'm curious to hear what you guys have to say about it!
Go be wonderful and amazing like Ethan, then kick a cardboard piano out of jealousy.

Why do people like me???

I have so many friends. I have the most amazing and incredible friends! They are fun, and kind, and more then I could ask for! My biggest question is why do they love me? I don't understand it.

I mean, I am narcissistic and pretty sure I am the best thing on this planet. I am crazy bossy, so much my friends call me Rachel after the motherly like figure on FRIENDS. I am notorious for being anti-romance. I have the hardest time sitting through any Nicholas Sparks book/movie.And the list just goes on and on. I guess my friends are crazy. O and I also have this problem where I don't understand something I tend to blame everybody else.

My boyfriend loves me. Lucky me! He loves me just as much as my friends do. That weirdo! He puts up with me even though I am more violent then a teenage boy. But Ethan puts an end to that quickly because anytime I try to beat him up he just throws me over his shoulder. He deals with my insane competitiveness, I am probably worse then the average NFL coach. And he somehow listens to each and every word I say to him. Or at least pretends to listen. And man do I talk a lot (hence me beginning a blog).

I got this trait from my mom where we just want to fix everything. Whether it is our problem or not. Like if I am at the movie theater and the movie is too loud or too quite, I am the one that goes up to the people behind the counter selling the popcorn and lets them know. I guess that can come in handy eventually in life.

So to all the people that know and love me, please don't stop loving me because I would be no where without you guys.

Why We Love Homecoming

I am so PUMPED! Homecoming at my high school is tomorrow night! I got a real pretty dress, a shiny pair of shoes, and a whole bunch of dangle jewelry. I didn't have to go out and buy new clothes, I just wanted to. Most of my friends are actually going in jeans and t-shirts. There will be a whole bunch of muddy boots on the dance floor and that is perfectly OK at my little Arkansas school. The dance won't be big and formal, it is just for fun! We will all have a great time at the football game before the dance. The homecoming maids will be all dressed up in the middle of the turf before the game,looking gorgeous. Everybody will laugh and cheer on their Cobras. The entire event will bring the students closer to one another, we will all get to dance and hang out together til midnight and it will be wonderful!

My boyfriend texted me and was so excited because he cleaned out his truck for me. It is a little thing but it just put the biggest smile on my face. So if little schools like Fountain Lake have taught me it's just to enjoy the little things. Not everything has to be a big blow out party where everybody is dressed up and everything runs smoothly. Enjoy the "Walmart Moments" because life is full of them!

Thanks for reading! Leaving me a comment telling me how beautiful and brilliant I am!

It Makes Me Feel Pretty!

I want to start by clearing something up for all of my readers.
Make-up is (or should be) used to enhance your appearance, not cover it up.
If you interview a group of guys no matter what age or personal background, I promise you, over half of them will say they like little to no make-up, over the "raccoon" look. Who wants those teenage girls roaming the mall who have black eye liner down to their nose, layers of foundation that makes them 3 shades darker, and eye shadow the color of the sky up to their eyebrows.

Cosmetics are great, I love them they make me feel prettier and I can use it to cover-up my flaws or to bring out my good features.

If you have blue eyes why would you spend hours applying tons of dark colors all around your eyes? That hides your natural beauty. If you have naturally thin long eyelashes, don't put a lot of mascara on. I mean why use bat poop when you already have the lashes?

Most make-up is meant to be put on in little proportions and in the correct manner to make you look better. There are a lot of woman out there that are anti-make up. I get where they are coming. I get that that is "who you are" and you shouldn't have to change, but I don't see what is wrong with enhancing looks. It is just like wearing flattering clothes. They don't change your body any more then sweats do, they just bring out your natural beauty. Hey, I look better in jeans and a cute take top than I do in overalls. That doesn't make me a sell out.

So thank you for reading! And keep reading, I like the attention.
Now go and read a neon sign, o and check out this website :)

Can't Sing But I Can Wiggle

For a while I have had a saying that I use probably about once a week.
"Life would be a lot easier if I could sing." And it is true! So many things would just come easier and be really nice if only I even had a moderately pleasant voice. But no, I got my voice from my mom and it is no good. Just today I experienced 4situations where I thought, Man I wish I could sing!

This morning when I was in church I was standing in the pews and began singing the hymn along with the rest of the church and my mom just started laughing at my voice. It was depressing! And back behind me I have this mother daughter duo with matched voices that were right on key. And here me and mom are, tone death losers.

This afternoon I was in the car with mom, my younger brother, and Sandor's friends brother (one of my good friends) who just has a wonderful voice and Adele's newest song came on. I love this song and know every word to it but can I hit those notes? Of course not!

And tonight I had youth group and I was trying to teach some members in my church the beginning verses to the song Hallelujah and it was so embarrassing. My voice sounded terrible. Life would be easier if I could sing.

Last I tried to sing happy birthday to my mom today. That didn't go too well, but luckily I was surrounded by a bunch of loud, off key, vocalists.

So to all of those cool cats with the killer voices. Shut up JERK!
And to all those out there like me. Keep with the band!
Now my fellow shoe wearers, go drink some coffee, put on some booty shorts and dance like you can't sing! :)

Why I Love Zombies

So out of the blue in the past year or so zombies have become very popular, and I am perfectly OK with that. Zombies are just the greatest. End of story. There are so many reasons to love them that you just can't help it.

The first reason to love zombies is there is a type of zombie for every kind of person.

There are the cute zombies that are in "zombie love". They're the one's holding hands with hearts all around them and their organs falling out of their body.
There are the gory zombies that the mega gamers want to shoot in the head so they can see brains, and eye balls cover the refrigerator.
And then there are the original zombies. The ones that are in the classic black and white movies that are slow moving, disease ridden, flesh hungry and generally in suits. I wonder if the epidemic began in an IRS building.

Another reason to love zombies is unless they are right there locked in the same room as you, you can't be afraid of them. They aren't like vampires that will track you down and can out run you. They aren't like werewolves, astounding, animal senses. They just want to eat your face. Can you really blame them for that? I mean just look at you!

And finally, zombies don't try too hard. Unlike vampires, and werewolves, and Frankenstein. Zombies just let it all hang out. They don't try to be super sexy and win the girl. They aren't going around searching for the villagers approval. They don't try and stop their human craving. They are just hungry.

So I am in full support of zombies! I hope you are too. And remember if you see a zombie eating road kill.RUN OVER IT...TWICE! Rule number 4 in Zombieland's 32 Rules of Survival,Double tap!

Go hug a zombie!

Come here Sparky

I'm back!
Sorry it has been so long since I have posted.

Here is a story my wonderful, beautiful, amazing, momma told me about one of her friends.
Alright so my mom's friend George and his younger sister Veronica everyday would walk up their drive-way after school and see their pet horse, Sparky. The two kids would bring Sparky sugar cubes and apples, and brush his hair, and pet him, and all that good stuff. One Friday afternoon after school Veronica went to pet Sparky and out of the blue he bit her hand. This was very out of the ordinary but it didn't hurt too much. The horses bite drew a little blood but George wasn't too worried. The next week the two kids went up to the fence and Veronica held out an apple and called Sparky. Made the clicking noises "Sparky come here Sparky". When the horse got close and began to reach for the crisp red apple, BANG! Veronica punches Sparky square in the face and says, "Now we're even Sparky".

So, the moral of the story is be cautious of the hand that feeds you.
Hope you have a wonderful night my fellow dummy's!

GO NERDS!!!

OK. It is time I write about something that isn't about me. What I say may surprise you. But this is about the kids that get "bullied". At Fountain Lake and around this area it isn't the scrawny, nerdy, or intelligent kids that everybody makes fun of. No, to tell you the truth, it is the obnoxious, rude, arrogant kids everybody laughs at and wants to beat down, simply because they are super annoying, especially when they go on and on and on about how cool they are.
When guys continually talk about how manly they are, and how they can get any girl they want by showing off their "hard core" fighting skills we rol our eyes and want to throw chairs at them in English. And usually these guys can't fight at all. When they do fight, it's ugly. pathetic and embarassing. Hearing those guys brag just makes everybody want to beat them up because we don't want to hear it!
The kids that are class president and make straight A's, well, we all love them because they are generally nice, they don't brag all the time and they don't walk around talking about how killer their basketball skills are.
The classic teenage movies make nerd look like they are always at the bottom of the social food chain but at Fountain Lake, it is a little different. And the bullying isn't how it used to be. We don't put kids in lockers or trip them in the lunch room. It is a little more verbal, even with the guys.
I don't know if it is like this at other schools but I sort of hope so. These days kids don't bet bullied just for showing up in math class? Personally, I am against bullying, but if you want to make fun of somebody, pick on the "big and bad" kids who brag, they obviously have ego to spare.

Thank you for reading, and remeber, MEAN PEOPLE SUCK!

Recall

So, it seems there has been some controversy about my previous blog, Lexie the Flawless. I want to just clear this up for everybody now. I do not actually think I am flawless and perfect. That blog was written as a joke making fun of myself. I thought the picture of Charlie Sheen would have given my sarcasm away. But I suppose that problem is my fault, I should have been more flamboyant with my criticism on my own personality.

I watched an old home video of myself and MAN was I obnoxious. I spoke like I was a the queen of England, but I didn't have a shirt on! I was sitting there with my big buck teeth in blue sweat pants. I was five and had a voice like I have been smoking cigarettes for the past 45 years. And oh my goodness my speech pattern was just wacko! I told adults it was a pleasure to meet them. How everybody put up with me I have no clue.

I caught myself doing this today in the halls. I don't walk, I strut! I walk like I am a Cheetah Girl and to make it worse because of my 2 years in marching band, I roll my feet and am in time with anybody walking near me. I AM SUCH A FREAK! My amount of flaws is crazy and my ego is just a cover up it seems. So please don't be fooled, I am not as great as I say I am.

So my friends, foes, and that one person from Russia that reads my blog. Stay happy, humble, and keep a good sense of humor.

Things That Brightened My Day

This morning started off just plain awful. I stepped into a cold shower, I couldn't find anything to wear, my hair wouldn't behave, I stubbed my toe, and the list goes on. I just had a feeling that today was going to be no good. After my shower I hobble my way back to get some more sleep because I had plenty of time before the bus pulled up.

The first thing that made my day just a little bit brighter was I had the most bizzare dream. It had dragons and ballerinas and dancing taco's on sticks. It was just weird and insane. It was my kind of dream. So I woke up with a little smirk on my face.

Another thing that put me in a good mood was that there was a cold Fresca (no calorie, no sugar, amazing soda) waiting for me in the fridge. Fresca's can put me in a good mood no matter what. They are just so refreshing and wonderful!

On the bus my friend Tyler was telling me about a three foot Jamacian stuffed bannana that he won at the fair this weekend and attacking me with a stuffed sea turtle he had won.

Last but not least this morning right before school had started there was a fight between two guys. Both in a grade higher then me and one of the boys I have had a few conversations with and I like. He is a pretty good guy. This fight hit the ground and the civics teacher at the school and my bus driver ended up throwing both of them apart and getting nailed with a punch square in the jaw. From what I know he is ok. But the reaction of all the kids this morning just from one fight was crazy. People were acting like they had never seen anything other then lollypops and sunshine. I love silly people that over react. They make me happy.

So that is how my pretty crummy morning got turned around by some really stupid stuff. Hopefully the rest of the day goes well. Can't wait to see what else lies in store.

So my fellow internet users, continue being silly because it makes me happy!

Tara the Terrible

Actually she isn't that terrible.

My beautiful, wonderful, silly best friend is tied with two other amazing girls for homecoming sophomore bride. I am so happy for her! On the outside she is a tall, long legged curly headed beauty. But man does she have a background story, Tara has a 6 foot daddy named Ted (more commonly referred to as cowboy) with a giant mustache, giant belt buckle, and giant cowboy hat. When you put it all together he looks about 8 foot. I have been friends with Tara Mak for a while now and we gone through some wild times. Four wheeling at her mommas, fish fry's at her daddy's, beating up boys at the taekwondo school, jumping on the trampoline naked in the middle of the night. She is one crazy cookie but she is hard not to adore. She is the kind of gal that when you go down town with her she will sing the Elmo song with you on the top of her lungs and then three minutes later get a guy's number. Tara isn't afraid of ANYTHING except spiders which she has an awful fear of, like hard-core arachnophobia. So making her watch the movie Arachnophobia about a whole lot of exotic spiders going around killing everybody probably wasn't a very nice thing to do, but to tell the truth it funny to watch her freak out. Tara is just a doll, she will help a friend in need and has helped me through a lot. She isn't judgemental or rude, which is hard to find in a teenage girl now-a-days. Another thing about Tara Makenzie is she is a massive nerd not the pocket protector and runny nose kind of nerd but the Ninja Turtles, band camp, Dragon Ball-Z nerd. She is going to be Bulma, a blue haired anime cherry bomb chick for Halloween, and yes she still goes trick-or-treating with me. She cried when Micheal Jackson died and listened to Man in the Mirror all night. She blamed her daddy for eating her pig Festis when he disappeared for a week. And she dressed up like Steven Tyler and sang Dream On at Relay For Life.

So, vote for Tara for Sophomore maid 2011!

This blog was NOT approved by Tara Broughton, but she can deal.

Now to my readers, go out into the world look outside and feel the wonder of the Earth, just don't get struck by lighting.

Ethan Gets 10 Boyfriend Points in 1 Day

Ding ding ding. My boyfriend is officially the best. No question about it. I hope all his big ole' football boys read this. They may give him some hardcore crap about this blog. But I feel I should put it out.

Point 1- Came and picked me up at 6 a.m. for my tournament in Bryant (45 minutes away) after getting four hours of sleep last night.

Point 2- He was totally happy with my almost one month again anniversary present (wrenches and camo seat covers for his truck)

Point 3- Was wonderful in the car even when we got lost and had to stop and ask two old men working at a hardware for directions. We took the directions and they were correct but man those men seemed very confused and out of their wits.

Point 4- Looked all of the intimidating, muscular, and crazy high ranking martial artists in the eye and gave them a good handshake. Kept up conversations and didn't act like a dumb teenage boy bored out of his mind waiting around to see his girlfriend compete.

Point 5- He ran all over the place doing elaborate errands for anybody who asked, whether getting mom money from her car or keeping score during a sparring match.

Point 6- He danced with me all silly like in public.
(I had to write it with a redneck accent, I felt it was necessary)

Point 7- He was sweet and supportive even when I was furious because I got confused about the judging and thought I lost both sparring and patterns.

Point 8 & 9- HE TOOK ME TO GO SEE LION KING IN 3D! (That is amazing enough it deserves 2 points)

Point 10- As soon as he got home he texted me to let me know he had a great day and that he already missed me!

Goodness he is the greatest. Thank you Ethan Joseph Obear for the incredible day. <3

And to all my guy readers out there, learn something for him and maybe you too can receive 10 boyfriend points in one day.

Another Friday Football Blog

My younger brother Sandor (pronounced Shawn-door) just started his first year of tackle football. He's not the biggest boy on the team and most of the boys did it last year but MAN, does he try hard. He isn't afraid to hit a big ole' kid three times his size. While the other boys will run up and hesitate and maybe push them back my little brother runs over these guys. he made three kids cry! That's a lot of little boy tears. Where did this steam driver come from. Where did he learn to run over these kids? Maybe it's from growing up with three older siblings. Maybe it is from me letting him try and tackle me in the yard. Maybe it is from his mix-training in ju-jitzu. I don't know where it came from but did the coaches faces light up when they see this giant redneck kids hit the ground.


Mom is so excited that the Hampo family will finnaly have a school athlete. Somebody we will get to watch run around on our turf and hear his name called over the intercom. Finnally one of our's that we can ring the most annoying cowbell for. Not one on the sidelines in the band or the one filming it but a kid actually playing in the game! I am so proud of my little, big headed, brilliant, kind, and apperantly athletic younger brother.


So to all my readers, go tackle somebody, make them cry. It builds character!

PUPPY!!!

This morning I was sitting in this cold little corner, curled up in my oversized hoodie talking with all my buddies about crazy football fans, the Deadliest Warrior , and how dumb vegitarians are when this mangey old white and brown spoted pup comes and crawls in my lap. He just plops down and lays in my lap. This poor dog is shivering and is so beat up. I had no clue what to do. I wanted to just hold it and cuddle it, but we were at school and well, it was a really gross dog. It smelled putrid and was old and gray but the look in it's eyes was sad and lonely. I was in a pickle. Should I take it to the administration and see if they can find it's home, should I carry it around to class with me and see if anybody notices.

When the bell rang to go to first period the little dog jumped out of my lap and scurried away off to find a new high school student to beg off of. All day I have been thinking about this dog. What breed it was, what it's name was, where he came from. I am just wondering what this dogs story was. What all it has seen, and been through. I think that people underestimate animals. But of course, that is just my opinion.

So, in the words of my EAST lab teacher, "Go do something great!"

They don't want that!!!

It happens. Your boyfriends truck dies and you are stranded in the middle of no where so he calls his friends and they are NO help. They come and horse around and only make him more stressed. They pee in the bushes and pretend they are being eletricuted. So you, being the girlfriend, call up your dad who comes and saves the day with his handy dandy tools.

The next couple of days he won't stop apologizing to you and saying he will make it up to you but in complete honestly you don't care. You were just glad you got to see him. But still he feels the need to continue on with the "I'm sorry's". The ultimante solution, go out and buy him the part he needs for his truck. Spend that five dollars and buy him a new terminal.

When you buy him something he dosn't really want like a braclet that says "I'm hers" he will lie to you and say he loves it but he will loose that after you break up. He dosn't really want that. Go get him those tacky camo seat covers for his truck. Don't get him a new pair of American Eagle jeans, get him a new video game that he has been wanting.

And this goes for guys too. Trust me, we don't want that fake gold necklace in the shape of a key. Get us a new pair of shoes! That would be wonderful! You know what buy us some Asprin. We need it with the head aches the men in our lives give us. (Justin Gunnoe gave me that line). But for real we don't care about roses. They die anyways, spend that money on buying us something we actually want.

If you get him that part for his truck or that stupid xbox game he will love you three times more. And she will want that pair of cute Toms over the roses. ---<@ (that's a rose)
Have a wonderful day!!!!

:D --> Justins face.

That Was Just Mean!

This is a follow up to my blog Punk Be Nice!

First period and we are just sitting around talking about anything and everything. A close girlfriend of mine says that there was a piece of glass in her foot and that she was planning on digging out with a knife but then she decided against it because, well, she thought about how bad of an idea that was. When an eavesdropper in our class asks if she had a pair of tweezers. She replied no and what happened after that took me by complete surprise. Another one of my best friends whom I love looks and says, "Well obviously not, have you seen her eyebrows". I was in shock all I could think about was how rude, unnecessary, and completely untrue that was! I looked in astonishment and simply said "Well that was mean" she smiles and responds with a classic "I was just kidding". Why was it she was the only one that seemed amused? I didn't think it was very funny and I don't think my now self conscious friend did either. I love both of these girls they are wonderful people but somethings just come out that shouldn't.

This is one huge difference between high school and the real world. No adults in a work place would dare say something offensive and uncalled for in fear they will be fired or sued. Things like that just don't fly on past high school. So when is it these brutally honest girls learn what to say and what to just keep inside their head? I can not wait til that day.

So! To all those students out there that go home and read my amazing blog after a long day at school. If you didn't know learn anything today, just remember
BE NICE!!!!!!!!! (look I even changed the color and bolded it!)

That is all! Thank you for reading oh fabulous blog readers! Keep it up!

Lexie the Flawless!

Lately my self confidence has been sky rocketing, which means I am perfectly capable of defending what people claim my "flaws" are. To be honest I don't have any. And I am not cocky because being cocky is a flaw and I said before. I have no flaws. This weekend seemed to be a bash Lexie kind of weekend. Mary and Mom just kept throwing out new things they think are wrong with me. This is what I think of that!


Mom says I am too competitve but I get it from her. We were sitting in church Sunday going through the bulliten when mom comes across "Casorole Contest!" in big bold print she nudges my shoulder and circles the page. My mom has never made a casarole she just wants to beat out those poor old church ladies who have been following family recipies for decades. She begins to jot down ideas for casoroles like barbeque chicken with mashed potatoes and something crunchy on the top. So what if I challenge everybody at everything I do. I'm not a bad winner I just like winning. I see nothing wrong with that. And I don't think my mom has any room to talk.



My boyfriend loves to tease me about how I am anti-mushy. He could poor his heart and soul out (which by the way isn't where emotions come from) and I would more then likely laugh not the mean, "you suck" kind of laugh but more of a "you are such a doof" kind of giggle. I am not big on the lame romantic movies like The Notebook or Dear John. But some people seem to think that I am twisted like a twizzler. I just think they are jelous of my awesomeness and stability.


Like I said my self confidence currently is at an all time high. My catch phrase is "have you met me?" as in if you have you are the luckiest sucker alive. Everbody wants to meet me and that is just true. There isn't a way you can't love me! I don't see how people can consider self confidence a flaw when obviously they are just envious of my bright glow. And to all those "haters" envy is a flaw.



So now you have met my not so humble side. Hope you arn't too intimidated and stop reading my posts. Leave me a comment yo!

The Crazy Life of My Sister Mary Part 1

O Mary! My sister is probably one of the most bizzaro people on the planet and I was lucky enough to get to grow up with her. This is the sister who has a pet dog named Cal (like Calvin Kline) that I swear looks like a little white fox and acts like Paris Hilton. Most dogs seem to want to please their masters but not Cal, he has this "Screw you" look in his eyes. This snooty little inuit refuses to sit down outside because he dosn't want to get his pristine white fur dirty but when he came over to the house Cal peed on my younger brothers foot. Now what I don't understand is my sister also has a cat. A cat which Mary and her boyfriend Richard managed to toilet train how in the world they pulled off that magnificent feat off is beyond me . I think the shaddy neighborhood my sister lives in was all the motivation Mary's cat needed to learn to pooooooop in the toilet (gotta love the word pooooop). I know I would, considering Mary's little Asian neighbors actually got robbed at macheti point. Yea, macheti, like the huge ninja sword. This intruder held this massive sword to the Asian mans belly and stole all their stuff. Because you need a license to carry a gun but any bad guy can buy a fricken macheti!


So, that is the story of Mary this time. My beautiful, wonderful, crazy, brilliant older sister.

Leave me a comment please! I'm lonely and I used the word poop!

No More Butt Songs!

Man! You know what I think the radio now is missing? Songs with a meaning. It is so difficult to find songs on the pop radio stations that arn't about drugs, getting drunk, or bootys. I miss the songs like Where is the Love by The Black Eyed Peas. If that song dosn't get you thinking about the world around you I don't know what will. This song is beautiful no matter what kind of music you listen to. And it was performed by a "cool" band. The Black Eyed Peas really were on to something when they released this song in 2003 on their album Elephunk.

After I heard this song on my ipod another song with meaning came on that I had never really payed attention to is the the song Secret Crowds by Angels and Airwaves. One of my favorite lines out of this song is:

"If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence"

To spread love like violence, what a great line! If everybody out ther could think like Tom DeLong, famous from being the lead vocalist in Blink 182, sings the world would be a better place.

So if by chance any lyricsts out there. Write something about saving the children and the people of the world! No more butt songs!!!

GO COBRAS!

It's friday! And here at Fountain Lake all that means is GAME DAY! In the fall it is all about football. Everybody loves coming out and supporting our cobras! It is a lot like the song Boys of Fall by Kenny Chesney. Just as country and dedicated. All the girls wear the boys jersey's around the school on Friday. Our goofy, muscular, boys stand in chairs at lunch and chant about how great they are. The cheerleaders dance around the cafiteria and well, it's adorable. The fans wear torn up, oil stained, jeans with an old t-shirt and a baseball cap. The cowboy boots clomp on the metal bleachers as the parents in the stands jump up and down when "their boy" gets an interception. The dads of the crowd go on about how nice our brand new turf is and how much turf burns must sting. It is hard not to be happy on a Friday night down here. But one thing that gets me, is every night before and after the games a prayer is said. Not saying that our beloved cobras win, but that nobody gets hurt. That everybody is safe and plays with good sportsmanship. I love it. So for all of those people out there that say country songs are over-exagerated and there isn't really a place out there like that come take a visit to little ole Fountain Lake because we really are exactly like the songs say we are. Just a little country school in a little bitty town that loves us some high school football!

So I wish all the boys luck tonight against Boonville!

Leave me a comment and let me know you care :)

RLLY??? >:(

A few weeks ago I came to school and a friend of mine came running up to me so excited because a guy she had been crushing on the past two months asked her out. She is jumping up and down with a smile bigger than Alaska on her face. Being the everyday teenage girl that I am I ask for the details. She whips her phone out of her back pocket and shows me a single text from him that said, "Hey cutie! Wanna be my girlyfriend?? (;" (Yes, with the winky face). I held back my mocking laughter. I mean really? You are going to ask her out over a TEXT?! And girlyfriend? I mean come on!! At least make it seem like you won't treat her like dirt. Put a little effort into it. I wanted to tell her not to accept it because all that shows is he dosn't care enough to do it in a meaningful way but instead I hug her and give her the classic "If he hurts you, I will hurt him three times worse" Which in this case, I was dead serious about.


But wait! It gets worse! Last night another friend of mine called me furious as can be because his girlfriend had broken up with him. I tried to be comforting and kind until I heard that this snooty, stuck-up, dummmy's desion was over facebook! She didn't even have the guts to break up with him in person. She changed her relationship status on Facebook to single. If that isn't a low blow I don't know what is. I mean, way to be a coward. Breaking up is (or should be) an important descision. Not something to be dealt with over facebook. Technology is playing such a large role in teenagers lives now, and honestly I am ok with that. But I mean really chick? Have the guts to do it to his face.

So please if you have anything important to say. Say it to them in person. Wait until the next day when you see them at school. It will give you a little more time to think about what you say and you can at least make them think you care. Because if you are going to do something via text or Facebook. That just makes you a painsy baby.

Leave me a comment! I promise, I won't bite!!!

Punk! Be Nice!

I was walking through the hallway today and I realized that some teenage girls are just brutally honest. They say the harshest things and then say no offense in front of it and thinks that puts them in the clear. It is insane. I don't care how close of friends you are with a person you NEVER tell a girl she is fat, or too skinny, or has an awkward face. That's not being a good friend that is just being rude.

A good rule of thumb is If you can't fix it, don't' diss it . I know it sounds lame but if you keep that in mind you may save a friends day. If a friend of yours is having a bad hair day and you can take them in the bathroom put them in front of a mirror and fix it, then yea, it's great to let them know so they aren't walking around with huge birds nests in their hair. But if they decided to wear an outfit that looks like it is off of Ugly Betty and it just looks tacky. Go along with it. Don't tell them they looks like a blind artists easel. All that will do is make them self conscious all day and make you look like a jerk.

Another rule of thumb is if you have to start a sentence off with "No offense" or "I don't mean to be rude" you are probably going to sound rude or offend somebody so just don't say it! Saying "no offense" doesn't put you in the clear to say anything you want. But some people treat it like that is a pass from the heavens to insult at will.

BE NICE!!!!

Turn up the Heat!

My newest pet peeve has been discovered.
I despise cold classrooms. I understand that most teachers have heard that keeping the room cold will keep students awake and it is more sanitary but it just makes me want to curl up in a blanket and sleep as an attempt to control my shivering. I don't understand how teachers expect us as students to learn about quadratic equations or the Civil War when we are worried about getting hypothermia. Because honestly I am more concerned about my fingers turning blue and falling of rather then what an hyperbole does and how it enhances writing.

My last period class I hunkered down in my boyfriends jacket with the hood up and it zipped up to my neck. I put my head down on the desk and slept and I wasn't the only one! Cold class rooms just make for grumpy, whiny, and shaking kids. And who wants to teach them? So teachers, it really isn't that much to ask. Would you please please please turn up the heat in your rooms. And who knows, maybe the class average will go up.

Mean Girls are Stupid!

Movies about high schools have been driving me nuts lately. High school is not as bad as everybody makes it seem. Although there are the hard core jocks, and drama queens. Most of the school is in the middle. Sure! Things happen, people fight, and lie, and cheat, and steal. But generally I come home in a good mood with the same friends I had yesterday.

Last week I got so ticked off at girl because she hits on my boyfriend and messes with people in the band. The band is a family whether other people like it or not. I made my Facebook status "I just want to punch everybody in the face". But unlike in the movies, I didn't set myself up for drama by putting her name or anything specific about our argument. So most of the school had no idea! There are so many stupid mistakes characters in movies make. My goal for the year is not to become the average lame teenager blogger that hurts people's feelings in order to make themselves feel stronger but instead somebody who writes about her great friend, family, and all the silly stupid stuff around her. Thanks for reading!
