lion face!
You all know those moments. Those moments when you're running on absolutley no energy and all practicality gets thrown out the window and you start acting completly loopy? In other words called delerious? Yeah. Combine that with being an insomniac, just drinking pure black coffee and eating one of the little package things of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and absolutley not wanting to be at school and you get... lion face! Lion face is a.. mission I guess you could call it, that I started this morning in Pre-Cal. We've been having so many snow days and with my car being broken, I'm left stuck at home and with no life. So, for the first time in my life, I'm going to say that... I actually half-way missed being here at school. Anywho, we had a 2-hour delay today so all of our classes are either really easy today, or extremly tough. Pre-Cal was easy. We were given a paper plate, scissors (I know! scissors?!) and some of that old reciept paper stuff. We had to cut the middle of the circle out so that we could find angles in a circle or something. But, I got distracted and noticed that once I cut the middle out of the plate, the rdiges began to look like.. a lion's mane. So I got up and took tape and crayons and began on my creation. After 20 minutes of hard work, I had created lion face! I had to show it off to one of my friends in music appreciation, and had my camera, so I took a picture of him wearing it. I then had a wonderful idea. My mission is to get at least 50 different people either posing wearing lion face or with lion face. And I'm glad to say that I have achieved this. Behold... LION FACE!

How to gain an extra 10 IQ points...
Want a quick and easy way to be smarter? Talk in an accent. Just keep it here in America because trying to pull it off over in England will make you just seem like a typical American doing funny voices.
Step 1. - Listen to BBC. I know how incredibly boring it is, so be sure ot take it in small doeses. You'll end up and start losing brain cells and lower your IQ dramatically instead of raising it which is not the point of this exercise. So, moving on...
Step 2. - Say bloody. It's a common phrase used in England that is used when somebody is exclaiming in surprise. "This crumpet is bloody marvelous!!" could be an acceptable use of the word. And for those youngins or for somebody who just doesn't like to sound as pompous, you can use the word "bleeding".
Step 3. - Pronounce your t's but forget the h's. I was trying to find out a way to make that rhyme, but just gave up. We American's like to subsitute d's for t's. Such as when saying something like... instead of saying "putty" with t's, we say "puddy" pronouncing it with d's.
Step 4. - Don't try too hard with the accent. We're Americans with an American accent no way to really change that. And in my case, I have the hilbilly accent thing going on too. Or I guess I should say, I gots thuh hilbilly accent thang goin arn too.
Step 5. - Best phrases to practice- "Haven't got" (without the H), "That's quite it", "Brilliant", "Daft", "Smashing", "Mate", and "Super". And say "All right?" instead of saying "How are you?" and "Ring me up" instead of "Call me". (all these phrases recieved from ehow.com)
Now, go and have a bloody super time practicing your British accent mates!

sucker for shoes
I love shoes. I absolutley love shoes. Especially heels. Ah goodness... theres nothing like a cute pair of heels to boost your confidence. I went went a couple of my other friends to our mall yesterday after school for I think was the first time in about a year. For those who don't know, our mall really sucks haha it's the simplest way to put it. Anywho, we're having spirit week at my school and the next day was supposed to be safari day. Safari Day? Yeah, I know, it's very odd. But we're supposed to be "hunting panthers" our schools biggest rivarly (Daviess County Panthers), so I guess in a weird way it makes sense. Back to the story. So my couple of friends and I were walking around the mall in search of anything safari-ish for one of my friends. We were on a hunt for some rain boots because they had zebra-print ones at Rue-21 that she wanted to get really bad, but instead we found a shirt. We then proceeded to Payless to try to find some shoes that went with it. Now, usually when I go to Payless, which is not often, I can never find anything. I mean absolutley nothing. But for some odd reason, the one time that I have no money, I find at least 7 different pairs of shoes. And those were just the heels. I found like 3 pairs of boots and just some regualr sneakers too. But it was ridiculus that of all moments for that to happen. We ended up and got my friend a pair of shoes and found myself a fedora. Mission accomplished. Half-way.
Ahh *drool* They must be made mine lol

what causes you to care?
What causes a person to care so much about another? What happens to make you willing to walk to the end of the earth and back for another person? And to accept that heartbreak is inevitable, but to keep on trooping through? Trust is such a huge factor in a relationship, but it's also supposed to be mutual. Along with being honest, to care, love, want the best for them even if it means you get hurt in the process, etc... and what makes us want to share everything with them and for-go what we would usually do in the past and do the most random things that are so unlike us that causes that person and you to be so happy? Why are each others feelings always intertwined? If one is happy, sad, frustrated, stressed, hyper.. why do we jump into that pool of feelings with them just to make sure that they aren't alone? And why is it that when just a simple argument happens or something goes out of line, why does it hurt so much more than it should? And why is it that when we know it would be so much easier to just go ahead and get out of it all, why do we keep pushing through and keep hope? What is the cause behind all this? Simple. You're in love.

Scarlette
Kristin Danielle Severs born on April 4, 1994- still living is a very special and lovely person. She is 5'11, has loooong black (naturally blonde) hair, glasses, blue eyes, skinny as a stick, doesn't like her legs, has braces (for now), and has a big (regular) nose. Her hobbies include photography, drawing/sketching, like to clap, likes to eat loots of yummy food such as salad, cupcakes (chocolate), Rud Bull, Monster....stuff like that. Dislikes! Bad people! She doesn't like bad people! Or mean ones either. And she doesn't like meat. She is a dinosaur. Her animal is a moose and her favorite color is blue (light blue). She loves winter because...it's cold whch means lots of hot chocolate and snow! She hates summer because it is hot and sweaty. Which is gross (in her mind). Her name is Scarlette because we had to come up with what our name would be if we could change it in Psycology. She couldn't think of anything, so I yelled out... SCARLETTE! And she came up with the name of Julie for me =/

jurassic park jeep
Since I was a little kid, I always wanted a Jeep. From seeing it on Jurassic Park, used in safaris, it being modeled in magazines, and this guy at my church having one, I knew that before I was dead, I would do everything to be able to own a Jeep. Finally, my wish came true. I was over at my uncle and aunt's house for Halloween exploring the old farmhouse that's about half a mile away from their actual house. They have this huge junk yard out behind the old house and right in the middle of it sat a glowing 1950 Jeep. It was seriously actually glowing. The whole thing is covered in rust and the sun's bright rays were reflecting off of it. I tried to open up the hood, but it was completley rusted shut. I checked the interior of it and it was a horryfying sight to behold. The seat was completley off with springs poking out in every direction, the dashboard was almost completley gone, no doors, nothing in the back. It was pretty much completley bare. And underneath all of the rust, you could just see the white paint peeking out. I absolutley loved it. I went back up to the house and talked to my dad about it, found out it had a title, and we set up a deal with my uncle. The Jeep is mine. It's under my name, I pay for gas, insurance, everything. In the summer when it's warmer, we'll fix up the Jeep to where it will actually run and fit for human interaction. It's at least 50 years old, it's ghetto looking, can't run faster than 50 miles an hour, and everything on it is manual. I'm beyond excited for it. This is kind of close to what it should look like when it's competley done. When I actually get the car, I'll upload a picture of it.
awake in the nite..
Lately, I've developed the symptoms of insomnia. I'm able to sleep for an hour and be fully energized for the whole day, I'm always still tired, but just can't sleep. When I first noticed this all happening, I wondered what I should do for the next 6 hours that I would usually spend sleeping. The first option that came into my head was that I could do homework. But, I noticed that after for being at school all day and then coming home to do like 4 hours of homework, I was done with anything that made my brain work harder than usual. So, I turned to the idea of just socializing. The great thing is that my boyfriend is an insomniac and so is his best friend and my boyfriend's cousin so we spend pretty much the whole nite talking. A few weeks ago, we spent 3 hours talking just about cars. They're all huge gear heads and love anything mechanical and dealing with cars. I'm still learning, but I've gotten pretty knowledgeable about cars. We talked about different parts, models, companies, imports, exports, what the best car in the world is... It was great to just be able to talk about a simple thing like cars for 3 hours instead of worrying about school, life, or problems. Thank God for insomniacs.
