Shiny Bright

These past couple of days haven't been the best, but I've survived far worse.
Yesterday I arrived at school late because my mom had turned off my alarm clock. Figures. I had a very long discussion with my history teacher about how I'm brilliant but not focused, capable but not willing, blah blah blah. He always seems to talk forever. He went on about my mother, too. I guess I'm starting to understand why she's the way she is sometimes, but she really can't accept that I'm not a small child any more. I also talked to him about my aspirations to be a youth minister. He referred me to my anatomy teacher, a former youth minister.
Unfortunately, I had missed my curfew last night without calling my mother, so my car has been taken away from being used for recreational purposes for I have no idea how long. I'm starting to understand, though, so it seems kind of fair. I've decided to start caring a little more, just for her.
I was late to school again, but I really don't care. I had lost my keys and spent the first two hours of my morning looking for them. It's the end of the year, so it doesn't really matter.
We had a fiesta in Spanish class today and no one really ate the chili I stayed up to make last night. Oh well.
Tomorrow exams start. Fortunately I'm exempt, so Zach and I will probably check ourselves out early to go get Taco Bell or something. I think I want to start practicing teaching the Bible on Zach. Might be fun. Though, I do need to get together that group for the summer. I'll get phone numbers tomorrow, and I should get a hold of Marcy! Hurrah!

Vinyl toys and Ima Robot are the best.
I look weird in pink nail polish... or rather, anything girly.
Getting closer to finishing the sock creature.
Daisy buttons!
Sleepy me.
Night.

I Wanna Be A Joel When I Grow Up

Yesterday wasn't all that epic, but it was still good. I drove over to Jensen with my mom and our first stop was Barnes & Noble, where they had crazy amounts of cupcake, baking, sewing, and origami kits and books that I wanted. Amazing. But we ended up getting a dang cool book about how to make neat things with cookie dough and this sock-creature making kit. The latter is my favourite; Zach and I started on one today and I'm stitching part of it now as I wait for Joel to get on instant messenger.

Then she and I went to the mall to return my birthday/Christmas gifts from my cousin at Hottopic. Yay for amazing Slayer and Iron Maiden (it has vikings on it!!!!) shirts aaaaand the Early from the Squidbillies toy by KidRobot x Adult Swim. KidRobot is the best. EVER. Wetzel's Pretzels and the gumball machines at that mall are my new favourites.

Here's stuff I got Saturday.

And here's the anklet I finished for mom.

Today I stayed home from school for feminine reasons. It was pretty great. As I was writing a paper for my a.p. history class, God told me what he wants me to do with my life. It's kind of weird that he just put it in my head the way he did, but it was perfect timing. Youth minister. Although I don't know of any female youth ministers that exist, or if it's even possible, but I'll make it happen. Just call me Francois.

(self portrait Tuesday!) Anyway, being a youth minister would allow me to be as creative as I want, and still use psychology, which my mother is still making me go for. I guess she won't be happy unless I'm making more money than her. Oh well, this idea is better than any of the ones that I've had. I'm so excited and I know I could put all of my talents and new found loves of certain hobbies to good use. It's funny to think, though, I used to hate kids and talking. I'm glad I'm getting over that so quickly.
But that was the highlight of my day. I spent the rest of it taking Zach to the doctor and watching him be baffled by his sewing machine. I love hand-stitching though. He and I have tons of ideas for our Etsy and I can't wait to get it started. We'll probably have everything set up within the next couple weeks, or at least I'm hoping.
Anyway, back to sewing!

“However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.”- Acts 20:24

I never cleaned my room and I don't know where my mom's anklet went to. I still haven't finished it. Though, my mom gave me some of her old clothes. They'll all come in handy.
Today we went to Downtown West Palm Beach. I got a pair of shoes, an 'instant cup of flowers' (daisies!), some 'complaint' and 'just thought you should know' sticky notes, and tea tree therapy anticeptic cream and shea butter with lavender for my hives (which are working out pretty well so far). I really want some type of patchuli incence for my room.
I've been having some sinus problems, and I probably should've picked something up for that too. Yesterday I had some pretty bad nose bleeds, and I'm not sure why.
Zach and I are coming up with some pretty amazing ideas for our Etsy account. We need to make a paypal account and I've decided that I want to take pictures, acting out major happenings in my life; my way of coming out with some things I went through without having to explain anything.
I've been pretty bummed out today. I miss a lot of things, a lot of friends. Things are a lot different now, and I'm starting to see why I do and say the things that always seem to mess everything up, even more so now than I did before. Somehow, everything always leads up to my parents, haha. I looked though my old photobucket account, and 2006 was a good year. I miss it.
I'm really starting to lose who I am again due to my complete lack of motivation to do anything. I don't really know what I want right now.
I'm hungry and I'm tired and I hate having an unkept room. I think I'll sleep it all off.

Isle Of Her

Yesterday was pretty cool minus the heat. Everybody was pretty excited about class day and before the dodgeball tournament, there was some wierd belly dancer girl dancing to Mexican music. Zach and I decided that Cory would look so much better doing it. I'm excited to finally be a senior, but I don't think I'd want the end of the year to come. I have a feeling that next year has a lot of surprises waiting for me.
My mom had her first "date" with her "boyfriend" of 2 years, so she was gone from about 7 last night until 9 this morning. I decided to go to Zach's to hang out with him and his mom and watch a couple movies. I enjoyed it and I'm pretty amazed with myself and my sneaking out skills. I'm always able to get so much past her.
It was rainy all day today so I literally laid in bed for the entire day. It was good to catch up on my sleep, but it felt kind of wrong not being productive. Hopefully it'll be enough to get me through this last week and a half of school.
I think I'll use the rest of my day to clean my room and run a couple errands, maybe make a couple bracelets too. They'll probably be the first things that Zach and I put on our Etsy. We really need to get that going.
I also need to find a camo shirt to make a 'seniors '09' shirt for Tuesday. Exams start Friday and I won't have to take 3 of the 7. Yay! This week, I really need to get together the beginnings of a group for Bible Study club and meet with Mr. Matchett. I think I'll make a list.
Well, more later.

Good Song, Amazing Video

I hope this resembles my summer.

High School Low

It feels later than it really is. I didn't do anything worth noting today other than turning in my paper and making a shirt of which I'll post pictures of tomorrow.
Zach and I found little boys Spiderman pajama pants to make into sleeves and sew on to a shirt that'll be dyed red to mach. Hopefully Zach will have the courage to do it soon.
I'm pretty excited about tomorrow, this summer, next school year, the future.
Tomorrow is class day! I'll officially be a senior and miss a bunch of my classes. Definitely something to look forward to.
I asked Mr. Matchett about having a Bible study club next year at school and he said he'd be happy to support me, but due to the separation of church and state, I'd have to run everything myself. I don't have a problem with that though.
I've been pretty confused about something for a while. Why are there different Church denominations? I mean, I understand that each one holds different beliefs, but 1 Corinthians 1:10 says “[Divisions in the Church] I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.” It all seems to be based off of ignorance.
Anyway, today's verse is:
You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.”- Galatians 5:13
Bed time.

Getting Better All The Time

I don't really remember much about Monday or Tuesday. I've really been slacking.

All I've really been doingis running errands and making this shirt:I really like how it came out. Also, I never posted pictures of my art club shirt. I need to go back over the flowers again.The larger sizes on my Flickr look better. I think I want to make more ones with verses. I'm really enjoying it.

Hmm... I caught a spider yesterday. That was pretty epic. I also stood in line to buy one bag of cat litter for 40 minutes at WalMart. I ended up buying more bubblegum and a cooking magazine that I had enough time to entirely read, as well.

I'm going to start cooking as much as possible. I think I want to get a lunchbox next year and make myself lunches... and not boring sandwich ones either. I want to make a salmon thing this weekend. My mom should make me biscuits and gravy.

Kathleen's going to teach me how to make some pretty sweet bracelets, too.

10 more days left of school! I'm so excited. I really haven't been keeping up with anything schoolwise. I need to wake up early tomorrow and write a paper for my AP history class. I had a test in that class that I'm pretty sure I failed unless everyone else did poorly. Curves can be pretty amazing. I wish my anatomy teacher curved test grades. I think I missed quite a few on that test today too.

Yesterday I took a few pictures, when I was dyeing my shirt, that are all on my Flickr. I think this one is my favourite.

Zach and I are going to make some masks to match the leopard, lion, and she-wolf that are in The Divine Comedy. Zach checked it out for me from the public library since I've never had a library card and I'm not old enough to get one. On my 18th birthday, I want to go to get a library card, a blockbuster card, and a checking account.

I can't stop colouring and I need to go to bed. Pray for Zach, he's sick.

Night.
