i think i have reached that point...
Where i'm probably just going to say what the hell i want.. yup
no one else keeps their mouths shut... why should i right? at least i'll do it publicly... not behind peoples backs.... that way next time i "say" something... people will hear it from me not the idiot chinese whisperers..
cuz around this place it's a constant game of oral twister or Cluedo... Colonel mustard... in the back... with the knife..
Or at least i think it was colonel Mustard.... someone told me thier friend's sister's dog's walker saw him... Therefore... i guess it must have been him riight?

so... just maybe i'm thinking there's this place called... Eff the hell out of my life yeah?
or the place donw the street from that... umm.. oh what's it's name oh.. oh yeah... Mind your own damn business...

I'm trying to remember that i don't care what people say...
but then at the same time i just sit back for the ride and think i won't tell that i know what's been said and who said it... and just be all A ok with ya'll...

I'm actually in the mood for outing a few people for being utter Assholes...
but i'm sure they already know what assholes they are... just not that i know...

isn't this fun?

Maybe now i can hear a couple months down the road about this post?
In case i forget right?

It's far easier to be mad at these kind of situations, Rather than being upset and crying about it...
FYI just because you don't discriminate on which of your friends you bitch about... doesn't mean you're bloody switzerland... it means you're just a bad friend to both people...

oh well...
bad friend, Good friend, what's the difference these days anyway eh?

I actually just want to laugh...
you know that angry laugh where people laugh at them selves for being so stupid and for believing things that come out of people's mouths.

But whatever right?

I just love when people quote my blog back to me as some sort of weapon... Like really? do people honestly think i'd write (publicly) something that they could use against me to make me feel all guilty and sad.. boohoo please.

or maybe i should... that way it'd be a much less redundant conversation when people try using this one against me?

Oh Christi.. bad idea to alienate people like that... Pfft...people that this doesn't apply to know that... and those that do..? well i damn well hope i alienate myself from them... i don't have space in my head for them...

at this stage i'm just rambling

Rambling about how people i trusted with my life pretty much threw me off a bridge
about how people still run around like 7 year olds telling on people...
about how people can't keep their silly mouths shut.. especially when the don't know what they're talking about

Thank goodness for my parents and siblings or i'd have quit this ride
Because it stinks.
It's not like the shock absorbers aren't working and the car wiggles around a little.
no it's more like there aren't any shock absorbers anymore and the handling is terrible and the car rolls too easily on all the turns
That's what you get for installing faulty shocks i guess... never trust dodgy shocks... or faulty friends...

oh and y'all can be bitching an whining about me to your hearts content
i don't give a shhh
because
i'm so over you and i'm over giving a damn that people think i don't know what they say and that they then come at me with their fake little smiles, while they're bitching about me in their fun emails and phonecalls...

i just think you're effing dumb for thinking i'm THAT dumb... that someother idiot isn't going to tell me and spoil all your fun... aww i'm sorry

and now... i'd like to say i'm sorry if i just walk away from you while you talk to me..
But i'm not and i won't be... i may have all the time in the world but i'd rather have all my teeth pulled than waste a second speaking to someone who clearly couldn't give a crap about me and who i have no respect for.. so there... solved... if i just piss off that's why.

I'm fighting the urge to just write f off
but i won't
instead i'll end this with

Go to hell

The end.. Merry Kissmyassmas.

Madey Uppy.

I've totally gotten into doing make up and stuff... so i got some super good make up and just practiced a couple things... i just felt like taking more time in the mornings to fix ma face sometimes.... of course i still have those... no make up days... or just a wee bit of mascara but sometimes it's nice to put in the effort riiight? so tonight i went to the Young woman's activity with Trav... she was doing a home remedies and make up tips night. so i was gonna do the girls make up and give them cool tips and stuff like that. it was pretty fun actually.... One of the girls i just did like the generic smokey eyes thing... but then on another of the girls Trav said i should do some crazy colours... so i did pink and yellow... which turned out pretty AWESOMELY... i was quite surprised at my skilllage! haha... so i've decided now that i'm gonna try wear more colours rather than just the ol' black and dark purples...

Random... lol

Bah

2011-01-24T22:07:00.000Z

So i've decided that i think i'munna break my month long streak (excluding sundays) of only waking up after 12:00 in the after noon... By going running again in the mornings.... Let's hope i don't die or something right?! haha

i think i will go buy some new running shoes tomorrow afternoon! SORTED!

Don’t forget the Lyrics.

2011-01-19T17:36:00.001Z

isn’t it funny how Lyrics stick in your head?

I don’t mean that in a “oh wow.. Powerful words” kinda way…

just that i’ve noticed lately that even songs that you haven’t heard in ages, as soon as you hear them again the lyrics just pop into your head… or mine anyway….

or a simple word can spring up a whole song that you haven’t heard in forever….Random…. anyhoo;…. this song just reminded me cuz i hadn’t listened to it in like a few years and when my Little brother played it in the car the words just popped into my head again…

Also… This song is awesome… I do Love Mr Eminem…

the most Productive 2 hours.

2011-01-19T16:18:00.000Z

So i woke up today at 13:00... I know right... i have no idea how i sleep so much!!!
Anyhoo... sat around for like 30 mins and then went to was me hair cuz it was full of hair spray and i
was hoping to get it cut today... so i washed it, Tied it up in a bun and headed out... went to the petshop for like 10 mins then down to the hair dressers to see if they could fit me in... they could!
so i sat for like 20 minutes and then got my hair cut... i was kinda like.. uuugh about cutting it ... cuz it was like 44 euro... anyway i untied my hair.. it was still soaking wet... Score! so she didn't wash it and got straight to the cutting! just got it layered and my fringe done again.. not much lenght take off at all..
so as i was about to pay... they don't take card... so i run across the road to draw some cash... i get back to pay and because it was already wet and didn't have it blow dried... instead of 44 euro i paid... FIFTEEN... yup! :) SCORE..
so then i walked home... and waited for my parents to get home cuz i didn't bring my keys...
by 14:59 i was already chillaxing in the house...
Like i said.. productive eh?

the world IS ending in 2012

2011-01-17T18:28:00.000Z

... so i have come to the comclusion that the world really is ending in 2012... because i had decided that the world would end when we ran outta new musical note combinations.... and since that seems to have happened... Good bye world..

Ok.. so i might be being a Teeeeny bit over dramatic... but SERIOUSLY!

Ok... Just one more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIH0_O02otY&feature=related

so what i'm trying to say is... the world is ending...(or mine is at least)

to, too, then, than!

2011-01-10T20:23:00.001Z

Although i have Probably failed Miserably at it, Whenever i write large paragraphs of whatever... i like to think i do it with some kind of grammatical finesse... if that's even something people say?!

Anyway... i hate reading things that are like the rednecks of the grammar society... I die a little inside when someone Uses then and than wrong... and although i know what they meant.. i just can't force my mind to read it they way they meant... i have to look away from the screen and repeat the sentence in my head the way it's supposed to sound...

or people using to and too wrong... it makes me go crazy... i mean i don't mind the odd little grammatical error.... but if you really really can't grasp this whole english thing... well... maybe you should limit your writing to txtn ur 4rends hu dnt mnd readin ur crap?! right?

another thing that drives me over the bend is... people writing "could / should/ would (etc) of" instead of could have.... Hello.... Does the phrase "could of" even make sense to you?

haha i'm just having me a little rant.. what's new right?!
I guess for all i know people read my blog and think the exact same about mine ( if anyone even reads it haha)

But at least mine are silly little rants and so on... i'm not trying to stir up any emotions or educate the world...
i just think that something intended for the purposes of information... should not sound like it was written by an uneducated teenager being paid to write their older siblings book report...

Whatever i guess haha

Christi

Country??

2010-12-30T00:39:00.000Z

I just realised something right now.....
if people ask i always say i don't like country music... But when i think about it... i think i just don't like certain country stuff... cuz i was listening to music on youtube... and i went through Shania Twain, Taylor Swift, Uncle Cracker, Lee Ann Rimes, The Band Perry, and some other Random country artists.. and i was like... "am i in a particularly country mood today?" but then i relised it's not just today that i'm listening to them... and i remember My Shania Twain age... haha when my Parents bought her albums i was a little obsessed.....
so i guess what i'm saying is... i just found out i don't dislike country as much i told myself i did... hahaha

And on that note Click here

Lol....
K Bye

Backsies!

2010-12-29T15:47:00.000Z

Whoa... so i went a while again without doing this but i figured it was better than just complaining about cork all the time lol....

so Christmas was good... Besides the damn stomach bug that i had for all of christmas day. I got a Stereo that works with my ipod from My parents... And flipping yay it has a remote.. so i don't have to get outta bed to put my music on... Ok that saounds really lazy but honestly.. it's easier to get outta bed when there's already music playing! Also.. I bough a new laptop YAY.. it's been a long time coming that's for freakin sure!

Tomorrow i'm going up to dublin for 10 days! gonna stay With The wonderful Katja until she goes to australia. her than that nothing really new has happened here... i could complain about what a suckish place is
but then again... That's nothing new right! haha... sorry i'm such whiney baby now cuz i wanna zap myself to being into Utah now!... Sad

On another note... I Like Katy Perry's Voice in This SONG

Christmaaas!

It's awesome to be able to see my parents and Siblings... and I just Looooved the Cuddles and Kisses my spuddy boy gave me, And Niamh is so beautiful and Clever. She got so big and. At first she didn't know who i was.... Until i gave her some sweeties... then she was all about getting to know who i was and wanted to drool her Candy cane spit all over me!!! i Never Loved being Drooled on so much in my life!! :) She's So cute!!!!

But.. I woud be Lying if i said i wouldn't get on the next plane i was offered back to Utah... lol

The Cold is awesome though!! I love how the roads are Iced Like Keraaaazy!!! :)

This Feels Like Death Row.

2010-12-02T18:00:00.000Z

My last Day in Utah.. Sad
It's like... Ahhh tomorrow.. and there's pretty much nothing i can do about it... nevermind the fact that Dublin airport is a shambles So i might Be spending some Unwanted time in Chicago... I hate Deep pan Pizza!

I Like THIS song! I think Saporta is Faar Sexier in Midtown than he is in Cobra Starship... I Do love Both obv.. But eh...

I'm just in one of those annoying Rambling moods.
Because people Irritate me... they think that because you now have mutual friends that they are like... your only connection to those friends... Like really thank you... i don't know how our friendship ever survived without you Coaxing it along... oh no wait.. no it's lasted the last 10 YEARS pretty fine without you thank you...

Oh Christi... Stop being mean and Go drink some milk..

Dammit! i just realised i finished the milk Last night.. Oh this IS a sad day!

:/

Bad hair day

2010-12-01T06:10:00.000Z

Dear Blog, it's been a while eh?! lol

I was having a bad hair day today... Sad... haha

Aaaaah... So i have 3 days Left in Utah... Mega sadness right?!

It Sucks Major Butt... But it doesn't feel AS bad as i did when i didn't know if i was gonna be back here or not.

Buuuuut now i know fir shizzle that Poor Utah is Not rid of me for good... Sorry!

So i had alot of fun with the snow!! it's so awesome.. and White... and Cold!!... Although the cold part is the least of it's awesome Qualities! I took Smurf on a super long walk in it yesterday and today... And i got to feel all posh With my big Scarf and stuff haha...although i think my secret was out the moment i started giggling and Kicking snow at Smurf!! it's ok though.. she liked it.. I'm not mean! hahaha

But yeah.... i must have looked like a 3 year old Throwing snow and Giggling Uncontrollably! And what's worse is i had my iPod on Really loud... so i actually have no idea how loud i was actually laughing... I bet all them kids stuck in class were Jealous though... Secretly.... THey might have whispered "check the creep outside" but what they meant was "i wanna be her" haha For sure!

The Wise Mr. Jack Johnson once said "getting Lost is never a waste of time" so i'm gonna take the fact that i have to go back to cork as like.. Maybe there's something i have to do there Before i come back... Maybe that's it... Regardless... Christi Will be Back With a vengeance! and by "back with a Vengeance" i mean... "a Little Cooler than i already am.. if it's possible"

....Just sayin'

At least there's snoooow at home to further my Denial... :)

ok... Well.... I've run out of things to say...

Happy New year! :)

BLAAAAH

2010-11-25T06:58:00.002Z

"blizzard" what blizzard?? Lol so there was no blizzard but there was snow and it was bloddy freezing today! I thought i had gotten frost bite after scraping solid ice from the car. But then nothing beats getting into the warm car and thawing out your fingers.
And on the drive to provo there was like a pond kinda and there were bijillions of ducks in it and the sun was shining :) from just looking outside you'd never have guessed that it was minus 5 degrees C. And the mountains were so freaking pretty... The way the snowy mountains reflected the orange sunlight as it was setting... This is why i like winter. Last winter in ireland was almost like that! With the exception of mountains of course... And ducks. And slightly more carnage on the road due to pure inexperience mixed with a couple of those "i can do it" drivers who thought ice was no match for their beast of a car..

I must admit... I do love when nature turns nasty. I get all excited for blizzards and floods and lightning storms! Although the excitement dies at tornados... Probably cuz i tend to have these weird dreams about running from like 4 at a time... I can probably attribute that to far too much television and a wild imagination. Which would also probably explain my recent wave of "criminal minds" like dreams. Although they wouldn't be half as bad if Dr. Reid or SSA Hotchner would once in a while make an appearance those dreams... Haha. I'm such a creep.

One day and one week until i go back to ireland.
They say home is where the heart is. I guess that depends on the definition of "the heart" right... I mean if it's where the people you love are.. Then ireland is home for sure my home... But so is south africa then..

But then home can be like a million places... Like what about people who move away from their families... Does that mean they're never home? So i'd like some clarification on this "heart" that the speak about. Cuz technically... That would make my home behind my ribs? Again with these metaphores.... I guess metaphores have a better ring that stuff that makes sense... And they're probably shorter too.... But take far longer to figure out... If you ever really figure them out.
I guess until i figure it out i'm still looking for "home"
that sounded like a terrible one liner that should be said by an annoying red head as he slips on his sunglasses.... Yes mr csi.
Well my eyes are burning from focusing on the bright screen in the dark and me hands are annoyed at texting this much... Cuz i have to hold the phone up with my pinky... Lol
happy thanksgiving :) :)

bubye.

Music and stuff.

2010-11-21T04:00:00.002Z

There is nothing quite as theraputic as ripping up old letters while listening to the wonderful Mr. Adam Lazzara and Taking Back Sunday :)
although i temporarily feel like i'm 17 again every time i listen to them. :)
First song i ever learned to play on the guitar was "Makedamnsure" sadly i probably don't remember how to play it anymore... Except for the bit "we lie we lie together just not too close, too close" other than that.. I fiiirgot it. Although i was never really that good at playing guitar. I never practiced and i hate following music. Christi prefers to play by ear! Which is probably why i found the violin and the harmonica so much easier. Cus you just use your brain and figure out what each string sounds like... Then you pretty much know what'll come out depending on where you put your fingers. With the guitar... Eets not so simple... Although i still would like to master my baby

I remember the christmas i got that guitar! All pretty and blue and wonderful. And it matched my drum kit perfectly! I was so excited :) i think i've missed that alot over this few months. Making music. I haven't played a musical instrument since i've been here. Not even the piano. Sad. Next time i go away i'm for sure bringing some sort of instrument with me... Harmonica's nice and small.... So's my violin... Drums and the guitar'd be a little harder to kart around hahaha. It's kinda weird when i think about how much a part of my life music is. Like when my wall was pretty much wall papered with posters of fall out boy, taking back sunday, avenged sevenfold, paramore, the used, and other awesomeness... I kinda miss being like some crazed fan and having posters everywhere.... Good thing i saved them all hehehe

I love how just waking up to the right song can make like your whole day awesome...
Or at least trick you into thinking that it's gonna be amazing and so you act accordingly... I love it.
Or having that song that you like to drive to when you're pissed off... And you just wanna listen to it super super loud. Awesomeness... Although sometimes depending on the song you end up driving far faster than the speed limit allows.... I'm guilty. I needs me a track to drive around. Nothing feels better than i good drive!! Or beating someone in a race home... Hehehe especially if they've been driving like at least 10 years longer than you... Although the fact that you're driving a bmw and them a corolla... Kinda evens the playing field haha... But still nothing beats a good drive to some good music :)

I guess that's something to look forward to when i get back to ireland... Although Christi will try to keep the speed limit this time lol no really i will.... M'kay
bye.

Lemons?!?!?

2010-11-20T19:27:00.001Z

<3 this song

Aaah! today's my Second last saturday in Utah (for now haha) ... i have the habit of counting down stuff like that... Like before i left i was like.. this is the last time i eat pizza in ireland for a while... or this is the last time i drive... I'm such a douche!

So i woke up with a cat on my Feet clawing the crap outta me... But it was all good cuz i miss having a Kitty to wake me up.. Sad.
And i'm in a sickeningly Good mood today... considering that i spent yesterday thinking "i don't wanna go to Ireland" lol

At Least i got a couple things to look forward to there though right? Like My Little Marky said he's got a huuuge Cuddle waiting for me as soon as i get home!! YAY! and Poco Niamh Is getting so big and Got 2 teeth and Crawling... so i get to see her!! :D :D :D That's good!! and For sure me ma and Pa And Btother und Schwester!! I Lubs them too!! :D
and maybe i'll get to take my stupid test before i leave that way i can drive when i get back here! :D Riiight?

Other than that... I don't wanna leave hahahaha... Oh well... When Life Gives you melons.... you're Probably Dyslexic!

I was Just talking to Me Martha this morning about how i hate all those silly Metaphorical Sayings!! Like The Lemonade one... Seriously...What if you hate lemonade?! and if you like Lemons... Well then that saying becomes completely Redundant...

anyway... i shall Stop ranting now... and possibly Dance on a table or something.... No, not really.

Life has a funny way of Sneaking up on you... and being a little Biatch! lol

2010-11-18T17:46:00.001Z

Isn't it Ironic? eh? Click it

story of my life eh?
I'm so ridiculously indecisive that at soon as the oppertunity to make a rash decision comes along...*jump* i hop on it. Like some douche pissing me off... Bam christi's Dying to go home..... *christi gets time to think about it and have fun* dagnabbit!!! I do that though i force myself into making choices just so i can make them... When i can't choose between 2 things i do eenie meanie just to force a decision and then if i don't like "mo" i choose the other option... Which about 99 percent of the time.... Oh Christi!

Went to a basketball game tonight! BYU won :)
i didn't shout during the game though... Usually i get far too rude and obnoxious haha... Although i found myself repeatedly yellin"pass the ball! Bitches!?" in my head.... I guess it's good that it stayed in my head haha.

It was fun though.
I have come to the realization that i become obsessed with the smallest randomest things in songs. Eg in "cute without the E" you know the first time he says "i won't ever ask if you don't ever tell me" ? Well christi is in love with the way he says "you" just that first time... Although he can never do wrong by me. I've not so secretly been in love with him since i was like 17 lol.....
Oh welllllll.

Tonight is fir shizzle my rambling via blog night haha... I have been awake for 18 hours and still cannot get to sleep... It might possible have something to do with the coke i drank.. Just maybe.... But i think i'm immune to coke lol... Gimme some redbull maybe and it's a whole different story..... A scary one that don't end well (like the time i drank 7 of them and felt like death afterward.... Ended up waking up the next morning feeling more hungover than anyone else that was actually possibly drunk the night before..... Mmmm vanilla Rooibos tea and sunshine! Cured that right up :)

jeez..... I have far too much of nothing to say tonight. It's probably more me being selfish and rambling as some sort cathartic exercise... I guess that's all this ever really was right? Or at least that's why i started this like a year and something ago... So i can put down dumb thoughts but since it's online, not as dumb and nerdy as my journal.... I often read through my journal to remind myself that i could be and one was a bigger loooza than i am now lol. I am a freeeking rockstaa compared to how i was like... A few years ago... Eww!
Ok well this tiny keyboard has taken it's toll on my fingers and i think that 21 text pages worth of blog is enough for one night.... Especially since i gotta try send them in the right order now... Uh oh
good night. :D

2010-11-16T03:41:00.001Z

So i've been sitting for about the last hour.... Staring at a bee on the light... With a rolled up newspaper.

It's quite pathetic that i'm so scared of bees.... Like so scared that even though i hate heights i'll run around on shakey scaffolding to get away from a bee... True story lol.

I think it's because when i was young i stepped on a bunch of dead bees by a fire and i remember it hurt... I just don't remember how much... So they're mega scary!!
I remember being in the game reserve in s.a and freaking oug like crazy if one came in the car. Like the one time when i took the air mattress and tried to hide underneath it.
I'm actually so freaked out right now.... It's like he's taunting me.... Flapping his wings every now and again as if he's gonna come at me.... Oh help me!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

Me no likey. :(

Wha'eva Minga

2010-11-15T18:22:00.001Z

I'm so not in a Good mood today!

So This is My song for the Morning.

Alls Christi needs now is her Drum Kit or a Punching bag and Sorted.. Riight
Sounds like a good idea .

The end

2010-11-15T00:09:00.001Z

So i woke up in an odd paramore mood. It's very seldom that i decide to just listen to only paramore all the way through. :)

i had my first nap today since i've been in america! Sad!! Anyone who knows me knows i loves me a good nap!!
The closer to me leaving it gets... The super sadder i feel leaving lol.... That's christi's luck for ya! Aint no luck of the irish there! Lol

oh wel
sad lol
merry christmas

it's true,

2010-11-14T06:17:00.002Z

So it's Super Dooper Sunny today... Noice Bai!

I'm Having a Seriously Clumsy day today... First i woke up By laughing so hard that i snorted myself awake.. Good thing no one else was home haha.. then i was Doing my hair and stepped backwards and fell into the bath?!?! then i Tried Brushing my teeth with the Toothpaste Tube...
Then i made myself some food... I got all comfy and sat down.. And realised that i forgot my spoon... Saaaad! so while i'm getting my spoon i also got me a glass of water... Sipping away at my water and i got a little over zealous and poured half the Glass Down my shirt.... WTF!?

Maybe it's cuz i woke up too late Although waking up implies that one was actually asleep Lol

Oh wellll What can ya do like!

i Like this song.

Chicks who cook on telly...

2010-11-11T20:19:00.000Z

i have this annoying Addiction to the Food Channel... i mean it probably wouldn't be annoying if i had a huge Kitchen withe Every possible ingredient in it... But since i don't... It's pretty Annoying!! Although... i think i Just Threw up in my mouth... Some Chick is Making Apple and Sausage right now!? That's pretty Effing Disgusting!! Not to mention her high pitched voice!

I'v always hated Woman Chefs! like it's not THAT amazing that you can cook.. you;re a woman... it;s your job! haha..

But really Maybe it's cuz only the annoying ones get their own shows!! i think they Should Give Alex Guarnaschelli her own show... i'd watch that!

Oh well..

I shall Mention the Awesomeness of What Is "Taco Tuesday" I never actually thought it was a
real thing... i always thought it was just a reason to eat food because it starts with the same letter as the day... Oh alliteration..

But no... it's for real! i swear! i was there because Mr. "Elder Gardner" Was Awesome enough to Invite me to tag Along and Bask in it's amazingness! Mmmm Hot Sauce!

YAYs! i'm Having a Chat with Megs for the first time in ages! She misses me so terribly that i had to text her!! haha :P
I think the sun is coming out.... that wasn't a Metaphor for anything though... i mean the sun is actually shining outside! Lol

I miss My little Spud Monkey and Niamh... They are growing up so fast and i've only been gone a month?! i guess in baby time that's Ages!!

Little Niamh already has a tooth! I'm excited for her to bite my fingers off just like Marky did!! Lol

Next thing she'll be running around too... Aww...

And to think she used to be So small... Kerazy!

"Well i'd Like to see our Roles Reversed, To see you hang on every word. I'd Like to See you have your Way"

G'night
or whatever

Snow?!

2010-11-09T20:39:00.003Z

Haha So today was the first time it Actually Snowed While i was awake... And it was like being back in Ireland sitting in class and suddenly it's snowing and everyone's staring out the window and no work gets done... I had this Huge grin on my face while i was walking the dog and then i had tho tell myself to stop looking like such a goof ball because everyone else here has seen snow a billion times and i Am walking around like i just Found santa's village or something! haha.... I'm suck a Dork!

But.. i can deal with being a creep.. :D
MAybe.
haha
Whatever

If i saw myself now last week i wold have Tripped me!

2010-11-08T18:43:00.002Z

So i woke up today... BEFORE TEN!!! WTF?!? i know right!

And i just woke up in a generally good mood....
And the realisation that if people don't think you're worth their time... they're not worth yours!

I also still had the weirdest dreams everrr... That i most likely woke up a billion times during the night.... and as i was falling asleep i fell out of my bed... which just made me have to start the falling asleep process allll over again!

But I still woke up in an annoyingly good mood.
Perhaps it's because it's the first time in ages that i woke up to the sound of rain falling on my window! or perhaps it's that i should get up before ten more often... although it was my unreasonable good mood that made me get outta bed so early... so yeah

Me who cares.. a good mood is a good mood. the only thing that would make me feel Even better is A nice big fire to burn some stuff in... i think that'd be good!! and Fairly Theraputic haha

anyway... Whatever.

The joys of Daylight Saving!! :)

2010-11-07T06:04:00.002Z

So i found out today that in Utah the clocks Go back an hour like... now! Yay!! it's Like eleven pm all over again... Oh Love!~! I have decided that i like weekends. More than i used to too!

I also have a weird Chewing gum thing going on... i bought like 4 giant packs of gum on monday... that makes me happy! especially cuz they're awesomely flavoured!! although i think my Jaws are getting pretty irritated at constantly having to chew and blow bubbles... But Christi Likes that so there.

I woke up this morning feeling like i had some major hang over or something...it was like death... but it's just a silly cold...

My iPod and i have become good friends again! for a while mr Poddy was Neglected and only brought out when i needed a good song to cry to. haha Christi's lame! she knows!
But now we're good again! it's awesome for taking walks or when i'm getting ready... i think i'd die if i didn't have it with me! aaaaaaah... nightmares! lol

Speaking of nightmares... i still am having the most insane dreams EVER!!
This is the most Disjointed Blog post ever... but it's for the sake of me not losing my mind...

It's already november... Holy cow.. i can't believe the year has gone so fast.... when i think about the past year... ugh... Vomit! if only i knew how puke worthy it was gonna be before it was!!!
Although... i'm that lame that i'd probably have said... Eh... i'm down with that...

Although it's always good to know what's coming... so you can be like i knew that was gonna happen... i'm prepared... Rather than... WHAT THE CRAP?!?!!?!
Then again... Knowing me when i do know what's gonna happen i'm still sickeningly positive about it in my head even when on the outside i'm as negative as hell about things. It's cuz i'm weird.

Whatever..

Goodnight.

The weird dreams i dream.

2010-11-05T05:23:00.003Z

Today i woke up about an hour after i usually wake up... although yesterday... it was 2 hours Later.
I think i want to Blame Criminal Minds For my weird dreams and lack of proper sleep... Yesterday morning i woke up thinking i needed to find "ruth's" Diary so we could figure out who would want to Kidnap her... i don't even know anyone by the name of Ruth... but within a few seconds of opening my eyes and stretching out of the ball i usually turn into while sleeping, i snapped back to reality and laughed at my self for letting a tv show Turn me crazy... like that time i watched Doll house and woke up in the night Smacking my self along side the head saying "why are you making me do this" i thought i had no control over my hands and the "dollhouse people" were making me do it... One can't help but laugh at themselves when they awake properly and realise that they are most likely INSANE!! haha Although.. that time i was super sick and had a fever... so i'll blame it all on that!! :D

Tuesday night i dreamed that i could fly... I hate those dreams for the very fact that i always have to wake up to the reality that ... i cannot just flap my arms and fly. Sometimes it's not even Flapping my arms... sometimes i have to hold some random object to make me fly... Like a Playing card. or once i flew on a tennis racket as if it were a Witch's broom. Sometimes though.. i don't fly.. i just jump really high. and in my dreams i'm used to doing it but part of me is still majorly Freaked out at how high i can get.

then there's the weird dreams where i'm drowning but for a few seconds after my head goes under the water i can breathe, i always find myself thinking "Wow this is like that dream i once had except it's real life" and the waking up to find that indeed.. it was just like the other dreams i have when i breathe under water. I'm such a weirdo...

The two types of dreams never go together though.. usually... Except tuesday i dreamed that i was flying over the river in cork city.. and someone was drowning so i stopped flying and tried to help them... then i was drowning... except not really cuz i was breathing under water... i think my face just sometimes gets covered by my blanket and so my brain tries to compensate for what my body is feeling. Like the moments before you're going to sleep and suddenly your foot jerks... and you feel like you dreamed you were tripping.. well i think that you only think you dreamed you were tripping cuz your brains trying to make sense of the random Foot Jerking.

Really i'm just rambling on hoping to keep myself awake long enough to be tired enough to sleep properly.

Goodnight.

Dear Assholes.

2010-11-03T20:46:00.004Z

So 6 Months has turned into like... well not 6 months!

I'm leaving on December the 3rd to go back "home"
I' excited to see my family and My Poco Sinorita and Spuddy!
I'm happy that i will be with my family for Christmas, And i'll see Niamh on her first Birthday.
I'm Excited to drive around again, i miss having a car.
I'm Excited to see Friends there.

But i know that there are people Waiting for me back there, Who, as soon as they see me 4 months before i meant for them to, will sit with That smug look on their Face thinking "i knew she couldn't do it" Those same people that made That place as Miserable is it was, Who if were as good as they thought they were... well they'd have been translated by now... so i guess... well.. ha.

But...
Screw them right?

"don't Gossip" "ooh you can't say that" "ooh i'm telling on you"
I Love it! people who think they have the right to treat people like crap because of their "good standing"

'i guess it got stored someway and we just forgot about it" Oh ok so that's fine then. NOT REALLY!!

Seriously!!! When gossip travels as fast as it does there, do you really think you have the right to treat people like crap, there's plenty Gossip to go around about everyone... and just because you only told people you trust... well that doesn't mean it won't get around. Believe me i already made that mistake. So self Righteous. but it's kind of funny i guess... because you really think people don't know. so it's funny to me when you act like you're perfect and i know you're not. Which is fine! because no one's perfect. but Don't damn well pretend you are either. you look like more of an asshole pretending you're perfect than when you just admit your faults!

"did you hear about Christi"
" Hey Christi! @#$#% told me about..."

"i don't know why they said that.. i never told a soul"

"i never said anything like that"

I'm so sick of the Bullshit! honestly... Get over yourself and worry about your own Lives

Sticking your noses in where they don't belong... not just with me... that's for sure....
Taking stuff you hear on a Personal (non Church) level and Turning it into some International Church Scandal... Boo hoo.. i'm telling. Grow up. Seriously. alll the room in the world to judge other people when it's not your or your family... cuz then it's all "who the hell are the to judge me" Well who the hell are you to judge anyone. and then you still think i don't know. and you greet me with that holier than thou smile.... like "i'm smiling and she's smiling so she must not know, Yesss" but well.. i was just smiling to cover up the fact that i think you're a complete asshole...

And now.... for the Lovely Family Discussions to follow Like that time i did something stupid when i was like 12 and everyone knew before my parents. it wasn't a case of right and wrong... it was a case of "ooh come Listen to this... Hear What Christi did, ok i guess we should tell her parents now that we've discussed it around the dinner table"
Little Emails and texts etc about oh how could Christi Even think about saying that and ooh that was totally aimed at me bla bla... Maybe you can even print it out or forward it in an email... Let's play a game and see how fast we can get Christi into trouble huh? ok go!
"oh no but Christi get's herself into trouble" yeah whatever. let's not talk about people getting themselves into trouble M'kay.

And then we can all act like we don't know where this all came from... and Oh Hey Christi... how's it going. are you ok...
Or we can cut the crap and not waste each others time.
I'm in Favour of the latter. Because i'm So done with Faking smiles for the sake keeping the peace. and just being expected to do so.

And to everyone else. see you when i get home :)

2010-10-15T03:45:00.002+01:00

Well Well Well... Guess who's in Utah for the next 6 months! ... Christi is!

It's a really weird feeling... Like even when i was getting on the plane it felt like it wasn't supposed to be real... and now still waking up every morning (there's a halo hanging from the corner of my girlfriends four post bed) *sorry that was random* back to the point... it still feels like it's not real! i guess it'll start to feel more normal after a while... After all.. it's only been 4 days...

But yeah! Utah's so pretty! i Love the mountains! didn't really get the chance to see them like this the last time i was here for the 3 days....

Anyhoo... That's it for now! :D

So Long Sucker!

2010-08-06T00:22:00.004+01:00

so... this last week and a bit has been eventfull....

I spent like 4 days in Dublin Visiting Katja!! she's back for good!! :D :D

then the tuesday i came back to cork and then went up that night to limerick for a fireside with the Chapmans! :D
It was crazy! it was like Pres Chapman Came there to give that talk to just me!! i think even Heavelny Father coming donw Himself to talk to me would have been More Subtle!! lol

So yeah... i realised there were changes i need to make... Luckily in His Talk Pres Chapman also spoke of blessings that put my mind at ease!

So i made the changes.... That night.... as hard as it was, it was right... Then BAM! 2 days later it was like all hell was loose on me.... this last few days have been some of the hardest ever... i actually considered Killing myself as an option... I felt betrayed and worthless... it sucked big time... then i thought to myself... why the hell am i having a harder time almost from the instant i decided to do the right thing.... i should be blessed... then i realised that Just Like Heavenly Father Speaks to us through people... Satan Does too....

So i'm Kicking his ass out the door..... and the minute i decided to forget the Crap things and people... i saw the blessings that Pres Chapman spoke about... I had a good day forgetting the bad days!

The Church is true

Music.

2010-07-23T01:36:00.002+01:00

Anyone who knows me well at all knows me at all knows that i have such a huge love for music. they will also know that i love a good ol bit of rock music. I'm not saying that's wrong... i still do...

But wow... i was trying to have the spirit with me a little bit more as i was pondering something... a decision... and no music has ever helped me like listening to Hymns sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Tonight more than any night I know that the Church is true! i know that President Thomas S Monson is a True Prophet of God that leads the Church today. I KNOW that Heavenly Father Answers our prayers! maybe not how or when we want them answered... but how and when is best for us and our happiness. i KNOW that the Book Of mormon is another Testament of Jesus Christ. Translated by a True Prophet of God. Joseph Smith. and i now Fully understand why when persecuted and tormented and put in jail he NEVER denied the Gospel. BECAUSE IT IS TRUE.

It is True.

Hair

2010-07-20T00:09:00.001+01:00

i've come to the conclusion that... i dye my hair when i feel depressed... it's back to black hair for me.... haven't dyed it in like 8 months

Movies

2010-07-19T00:05:00.002+01:00

you know the part of thos epic war movies where it's dark and grey and the fight is building up?... then suddenly there's this climactic battle and people die and then it's over and the sun comes up... and the winners walk away victorious, although they'd lost so many on the way they made it to the sunshine and there's green and smiling and happiness?..... i feel like i'm in that movie! i wish the sun would come out and i could stop mourning what i lost in the battle and get on with victory.

although... it feels like i'm only in last half of the battle.
I wish i could skip to the greenery
just fastforward the battle to the scenery

I realised today that i was so busy trying to be angry at the ones that hurt me that i never got a chance to just be.

when i looked up smiling at them, not thinking about being angry, i knew i wasn't angry... i wanted to be, now i'm just angry at myself for being such a failure that i can't be angry at her anymore for ho she hurt me.... Just hurt but not angry.

i want to fast forward the the part where i am something.

2010-07-08T10:20:00.000+01:00

I don't Really deserve Anything Good to last...

Can We Pretend that Airplanes in the the night sky are Like Shooting Stars? i could really use a Wish right now

2010-06-18T00:58:00.002+01:00

But Some People just make living through all that... completely Worth It!! :)

Whatever the opposite of home sick is! Sick of home?

2010-06-17T22:59:00.003+01:00

This Time Last year i was sooo not here!.... and right now i sooo don't want to be here!...

argh!... i'm feeling like such a whiney baby but yeah.. i need to be gone for a while again! As much as i know the church is true... thought of seeing everyone every sunday... just makes the thought of staying in bed so appealing! and then i'm not teaching ysa sunday school... so i have even less motivation to go! Aaaaargh! i wish i was in a biiig ward where no one knew me and i didn't know them... we could just take each other at face value.. instead of having to talk to someone and thinking to myself.. "you're such a *insert word to describe a number of people here*" or thinking... "avoid them... i know what they said about me but if i acknowledge the fact that i know i'll have to kill them but i can't bare to talk to you and pretend it's all ok!!!"

Or wondering why they themself are talking to me when they think so badly of me?

i know it's my problem.. not theirs... but argh! Holiday please?! anyone?!

it's been a long long time!

2010-05-24T14:07:00.002+01:00

well.. hmm.. lets see what has happened?

I finished College... Thank Goodness....
i got a job... starting tomorrow.... pretty suckish... i'm still hoping someone calls me and offers something better by tomorrow.... the thought of it is killing me!!!! i guess heavenly Father knows what he's doing. i just hope his plans don't include me doing this job for too long....

the weather is amazing!!!! flipping roasting... i feel like i'm in america again!... (ha yeah i wisssssh)

this place is driving me NUTS!!! i seriously need to get outta here for some time before i either go insane or kill someone!! AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!

Anyhoo.... That's it for now?!

2010-05-04T23:22:00.002+01:00

today i had my one and only exam.... of course i didn't study for it.... it went pretty awsomely!!

Tomorrow i have to have my final stuff in.... of course a whole bunch of earlier stuff i didn't get in... Why>! ? because i am a huge waste of space! that's why! anyway... i sometimes wish i would stress more about things than to just sit and be like... yeah yeah i'll have loads of time to do it tomorrow... i do stress about stuff... i just don't do anything about it!! why am i so retarded?! hmmm i dunno either?!

Oh well.... i guess tomorrow i can find some other part of my life to screw up since college'll be over right>!

Progress....

2010-04-17T22:13:00.002+01:00

well this weekend was District council and auxilary training... so i had to go to that in limerick and then give a talk at the training... i was flipping freaking out but it forced me to think about how we were doing in ysa in cork with the New Centre For Young Adults that we have going.

January: 2 ysa attending Family Home Evening
3 ysa attending sacrament meeting regularly

April: 9-11 Ysa attending family Home Evening (one of whom has been inacttive for over 12 years, He also brings a friend.)
6-8 Ysa attending sacrament meeting AND gospel doctrine classes
11 Ysa coming out to dinner and Games on a saturday evening.

I'm Glad i was asked to give that talk.. as scary as it was it showed me how the programme really changes peoples lives and benefits us all.

YAY!!

:D

GAH!

2010-04-04T21:23:00.003+01:00

so there's this huge thing going on in South Africa! the Leader of the ANC youth League is telling people to Kill the Boer Farmers. this weekend Eugene Terre-Blanche was murdered. not only was he a White Farmer but he was also Leader of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging. so Big Apartheid Fan.

What drives me insane is the fact that when talking about this they say how he was such a racist man and bla bla bla... but Julius Malema the Guy telling people it is ok to murder White farmers ISN'T RACIST??!?!??!?!?!?!??!??! Does anyone understand this?!?!?!

Anyway.. kinda just a bit worried because my Uncle and his partner are the inspectors investigating the murder... Argh.... Scary but kinda cool at the same time. Deffinately gonna be someone in my Prayers Alot!!!

sorry. Rant!

Got stuck in Traffic for 20 mins... not moving!! and then some woman almost cut me off.. i had to hop the curb... and then i get past everything and i'm just around the corner at the traffic light... and MY BATTERY DIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the heck!! i was sooo mortified!! stuck there at the traffic light in the middle of the road. Thank goodness Gav worked jus down the road so he came and rescued me and some nice guy stopped and helped us push the car to a safe place, then we went back to gav's work to get jumper leads. the mechanic that works next door came with and checked out the car and then towed me to trav's for free.. Nice. i think now that that all happened... i'll be pretty comfy driving alone now... what's the worst that could happen right?! hahahaha

Little Niamh Christina Stapleton was born this morning at 6:20 GMT... I haven't been able to visit her yet because of stupid hospital rules but from the pictures, She looks just like Trav! hopefully i'll get to see her tonight!

Wow! could life get any better?! i doubt it!

Today i woke up in travs bed to spud saying.. Christi!!! Christi!!! are you my mom? (bacause he didn;t know i was gonna be there and in his mom's bed) i was like no baby! Mommy has gona to the hospital to fetch the baby! her name is Niamh! and you're her big Brother! i showed him a picture that trav sent via text. He spent the next 10 minutes lying next to me Laughing and giggling and saying NIIIAAAMMMMHHH!! a little sister! and then giggling again! it was the cutest thing ever!!

He came to our house then to give brendan a chance to nap when he got home (trav had been in labour since about 3 am Or at least that's when her waters broke)
so after breakfast and stuff me and spuddy went for a bath!!! it was so funny! he was splashing and stuff the whole time! and spitting Soapy water at me!!!

Flipping Adorable little boy!!!

Damn People at the hospital wont let me visit trav and Baby!! i hate the idiot who came up with that!!

Yup... i just used a link as a Blog Title!
hmmm well an interesting thing happened to me the other day.. yeah i pretty much almost DIED!
I'd left my camera at Camilla's house and we decided to go through the snow and stuff to get it! (Thank you Mommy :D ) the ice on the road up to millie was like an inch of pure compacted ICE! and we were driving up grand when some dude pulled out infront of us and we had to slow down... then we couldn't go ANYWHERE cuz we had lost momentum and just skidded around on the road. I ran to millies and got my camera and she came with to help.. we pushed and pulled the car pretty much anyway we could... nothing! so me being a nerd out in my socks i decided to hack holes in the ice with the Jack for somne traction since it's rear wheel drive and everything...
So there we are! me and Millie pushing the car... Nothing... then two other girls came and girls came and gave us a hand..... i was at the back of the right hand side of the car pulling it by the open window so mom could reverse... millie on the other side and the two girls at the front pushing... the car caught on the holes in the ice and started Going faster. I slipped. i skidded under the car and back out again just yelling careful careful.. that was pretty much all i could think of.. instead of like.. um stop i'm under the car or something... i'm fine. bruised my knee but that's it. guess i should actually do something with my life now right?!

:D

then we got chinese and then we went back to millie and alans again.. watched tv woke up were almost super late for church but luckily we weren't too late!! early enought for me to conduct the opening hymn!! lol it was an awesome few days really :) argh! in one of THOSE moods again where everything is like... Ladidadidaaa!! :P :p

Night night!!:p :p

christi

Oops.. i did it (or rather didn't) again!

2009-11-25T23:27:00.002Z
Argh! yes i have left it for ages again before writing on this!! shame shame on me! lol

Well.. Hmm Lemme see what's new?

I got called as ysa Rep in cork... I'm trying so hard to come up with some ideas and stuff... it would be so much easier if we had a larger and more enthuisiastic group! but i tells ya! i will have them excited about Ysa Activities yet!

I've seen a load of good ideas! while there are only like 4 of us active a dance is kinda.. a bad idea! especially since i'm the only girl?!? GAH!

But i've seen some good alternatives! :)

also.. still loving college.. starting to feel a lil pressure now for christmas evaluation. but i'll survive it i flipping hope! RIGHT?!? lol

and then once this evaluation is over it's pretty much a free fall til april! i kinda can't believe it's almost over really?! one exam in may right at the beginning... i'm pretty freaked really.. i mean i'm keeping up with the classes and all i'm just like.. wooo i'll graduate next september! :) :)

then i've gotta decide what to do next! for now i'm happy with doing my second year of photography! and then probably a mission in like october of 2011?! scary but i gotta do something right?! anyhoo... that's like a good while away so we'll see what happens til then?!

wow i actually feel like i have sooooo much stuff to say!! Funny?!

I also have this stupid idea that i keep coming back to in my head... but that's about all i'm gonna say about it on here.. That's how stupid it is!! lol

i'd like to think it's do_able but for me?! i dunno! it'd be like pretty much living my life long secret dream! and i'm sure i'd be pretty ok to do it if i got over my nerves?! anyway... now that that rant is over?!

Mom and Dad were asked to go to tralee branch on sundays from now ... dad was called as Elder's Q there and Mom as Primary President... kinda funny since Mom has been saying since before they went... " i just don;t want to be in Primary" haha!

Ah well.. i know everything is for a reason! i just flipping wish i could find out the reason for everything... that way i'd be much ..MUCH more willing to do stuff?! i also wish that there was like Clear instructions for life "Christi in 2009 you must Go to college in st johns and do photography, In 2010 you must go and do what you've always wanted to do.. and don't worry it'll work out, in 2011 ....." people say that'd be boring.. but honestly i think it would be a HUUUGE help! i'd like to know that i'm gonna succeed and not make a fool of myself when i do something?! anyway...

I also moved out to Travice and Brendan's house... For 3 days! lol it just wasn't right for me yet?! Maybe if it had been my own place it'd have been different.....

I'm so absolutely terrified of failing right now?! at like everything!? i have no idea where this came from all of a sudden! flippin annoying is what it is! lol

Anyway... this was supposed to be just a lil short note and ended up being one long ass bugger if a post! hahah Oh well

Bubye!

2009-10-11T21:33:00.002+01:00
Wow!! it has been WAAAAAY too long!!

But i have news!! yes even good news!

Since coming back From america life couldn't have been any better! (well besides maybe finding a cheque for a billion euro with my name on it)
I started college about a month ago! PHOTOGRAPHY!!!!! at first i got rejected because i did such a Horrible interview! really i wouldn't have taken me seriously either!! but luckily someone dropped out. IT WAS MEANT TO BE! i'm loving college so much now! i've become a total different person over this past month! i don't mind talking to people! i've made so many new friends and i feel awesome cuz i actually know what i'm doing at college not like when i was at school pretty much constantly confused about everything! lol

argh! yes it's alll gooood!!

My hair is red! and i've lost weight! and la di da life's just a million times better than before i left for america! Funny right?!

I've seen the other side of a few people that has completely changed my mind of how i feel about them and i think i'm better for it! i don't feel so inferior to them just because they treat me like crap... bacause now they've been where i have... there's nothing to treat me like crap about without sounding like a giant hypocrit.. so yeah!

I pretty much love everything right now!! i don't have everything i've ever wanted but i have everything i need for now!

anyway... i had to come one here for once in ages!! and woohoo i have something besides complain to do this time!!! :) :) :) :)

oh and 1 (71n^ 1 M107( B3 1n 60v3 08 50m3(71n)..... I Dunno?!

2009-08-13T03:27:00.003+01:00
Well....!!!

I'm finally home! i never knew it could feel so damn good to be home!!
almost thought i wouldn't make it though!!
we got to london and although we were catching a connecting flight we still had to go through border patrol!?!? and at the end of july they changed it so that South Africans need a visa to be in the uk! i was like freaked! the woman there wanted to jus let me go but the dude was having none of it! i was like in tears at the desk.. had no idea what to do! luckily the chick jus called her boss and then gave me a temp visa! the other dude was just being a big ASS!! so it was all good!! then got home to the rain!! :) never knew i could love it so much!! i got to give everyone their stuff! MARK!!! he is the cutest little thing on earth! he's now speaking Afrikaans and Irish too! in Afrikaans : Trav asks him.. " hoe oud is jy?" and he answers showing two fingers "twee" or trav says "hoe gaan dit?" and he replies "goed dankie" it's the cutest thing ever!! and in irish.. (excuse any spellings) Trav says "conas ata tu?" and Spuddy says "Go Maith" and then she says "cead is anim duit?" and he shouts out "MARKY" haha i swear so cute! then she says "marky what does mommy say when she wants you to relax?" and he says "tog a Boge" so cute!! and he talks alot too now!! i snuck him some nesquick powder and he was like "mmm Yummy Secret" haha i'm so glad to see them all again!! it's so GRRREEEAAAT!!! :) :) it's now 3:40 am and although i barely slept on the flight... i can't sleep! damn Jet lag!! LAME!!!

Lazy Lazy

2009-07-18T18:21:00.002+01:00
well... i have been super super super bad at this.. so lucky for me Mely decided to update for me on facebook!! lol Thanks Mely! :) so yeah read from the bottom up!!! :)

Verwyder
Mely Torres For a chronological display of Chrisi's adventures in mexico and San Diego, go to the bottom and read upwards. :)

Mely Torres Then after crying and goodbyes I let my girls go this morning.... I will miss you Christi!!!!

Mely Torres Thursday after my conference I took the girls on a tour of San Diego to see the Mormon Battalion Monument, Old Town, Balboa Park, The Embarcadero, Down Town San Diego, The gaslamp quarter, The Corornado Bridge, Hotel Del Coronado, Coronado Island Beach, and eat at Horton Plaza Down Town. I think they went to the pool after that.

Mely Torres No, that must of been a different day because they went to Institute with me that night.

Mely Torres Christi decided to stay home on Wednesday while the other girls went to the Birch Aquarium. After a lengthy massage on my delux massage chair, she finally felt better and agreed to go with me to an IRS Conference. We went and got all sorts of free stuff for her from the vendor booths and she sat through a session on the IRS Earned Income Credit without falling asleep. Then we met up with the girls. Was this the day I found the girls at the pool where I live with a boy from the YSA ward and my single home teacher that has never visited me but wanted to see them? Hmmmmm.

Mely Torres Went shopping on Tuesday to Deseret Books and found that the harry Potter film was coming out so at spur of the moment bought tickets for the premier at midnight. Needed to buy some pants to sit on the floor to wait for the movie and instead we decided to make a pact and purchase PJs. We bought PJs and dressed at the restaurant next door. I played around with the Gay guy at the restaurant and he gaves us all free stuff. We bribed a girl $10USD to save our place in line just to find out they made everyone go inside of the theater to wait for the movie. We penciled lightning bolts on our foreheads and ate while we waited the 4+ hours for the movie. It was funny! Got home after 3 am.

Mely Torres Came back to the US. Had a guy from Institute take them to FHE at the YSA ward on Monday. By the Way - the girls have serious tans!

Mely Torres They moved in with me last Friday. I took them to Mexico where we delivered food boxes to the poor, went to see the place where Liam and I are having our reception, took them to see La Bufadora where Christi and I found a painting of Joseph Smith in all places (christi bought it), went to Ensenada for fish tacos that Melissa wouldn't eat, took a mini cruise of the bay of Ensenada, and they had their first taste of real mexican tacos and other foods. Took them to church and tried to translate for them as everything was in spanish.

Mely Torres misses Christi, Melissa, Keri Ann and Emma already. I will news you up for them:

green to green!

2009-06-11T06:54:00.001+01:00
well i'z in america now! it's the awesomest place ever like! lol

yup that's all

Christi

Should probably sleep....

2009-06-09T01:08:00.004+01:00
well.... i'm leaving in about 13 hrs.... stressing my butt off.... dunno why but i just am.... it's already late and i'm wide awake!!! then still gotta wake up at nine so i can have a nice relaxing bath!!! i hope i don;t have too much stuff in my bag! cuz that could be a problem i think.... ah well my hand luggage is practically non existant so i'll just empty some stuff into that if needs be!

hmmmm this is so crazy! i still won't believe it til i'm actually like.... saying goodbye to my parents!! never been away from tehm for more than 10 days.... weird eh?

Anyway... i think i've finished packing for real now... until tomorrow when i realise i didn;t put something in or something?!? the only thing i'm lacking is SOCKS!!! i flipping don't tknow where all of them went to! probably a lovely sock party going on somewhere, meanwhile my piggies are left almost sockless?!

Stinkin socks!!! (luckily not literally!!)

anyhoo.. i'm gonna end this now so it looks like i went to sleep.... we all know that in reality i'm still sitting right here at the laptop!!

Bubye!
Christi

Hay fever!?

2009-06-08T11:42:00.002+01:00
Well.. i've been having problems with my skin! bought all the masks and scrubs like possible and nothing was working! so i was like GAH!!! i'd been meaning to look up on the internet if it had anything to do with hay fever... just cuz it all started around the same time my dads hay fever started affecting him.... didn't think it would affect the skin though... but. i was wrong!!!! it's so funny cuz as long as i can remember i've always gotten a rash when i sat on grass in the summer.?!?! never thougth anythng of it but when i was looking for what was wrong with my face i found out that that was also one of the symptoms... so it's not like i only just got hay fever or anything/.. i've had it for Ages! weird eh!?!?! anyway// just felt like randomly writing that down!?!?

Gah! leaving tomorrow?!!?! ma belly is jelly! lol...
I packed last night though so idon;t gotta worry about that.. just gotta put the last bit of my washing in and i'm done! then print off my ticket and off we go!!! :) getting excited again now!

anyway not too much happened! randomly decided to go to dublin at like midnight on thursday... it was fun though.. went by the wicklow mountains and stuff... and glendaLOUGH was pretty cool! took some pictures and stuff but i gotta actuall take them off my phone first!

Leaving on tuesday....... i'm pretty damn freaked out and not too sure if i'm excited anymore.... it's kinda annoying... maybe it's just cuz it feels so unreal... maybe i'll be more excited when it actually happens...

Gonna be so weird.. hmm... yeah very weird..

today we had like a broadcast of district conference from england for like the whole of britain and ireland!!! Pres Uchtdorf spoke.. and Pres Monson's daughter too..... you could totally see they were related like!!!
then we had missionaries over for lunch afterwards.... meh

I'm still kinda weird about the being embarrassed thing... just kinda pissed off or something!! i'm not actually sure!?!?

well... i'm leavign in a week!! exciting stuffs!! got so much to do! it's gonna be crazy!!!

Sea Shells! :)

First of all...... i think it's a YESS on the yankee visa! lol You-ess-AY here i comes!

had my thingy today to get my visa... and i'm like 99.9999999999% sure i got it...

second.. we went to the each yesterday!! was cool as! picked up like a bajillion wee tiny lil shells... some were pink and stuff.. way cool!! i'm quite obsessed with them at the moment!! soooo i was wondering.... what the hell makes them different colours.. cuz i know fo sho that it aint cuz they eat alot of beet root or carrots!! lol....

Hmmmm........ i can't find like anything!! some idiot even said they're formed by rock erosion?!?!?!?!? WTFlippp? ..

SO what i've gathered is this so far...

they secret like jelly stuff from their mantle.. (the jelly thing in on the inside layer of the shell) and the jelly stuff has calcium carbonate crystals in it (yeah wee teeny weeny ones) and they grow to form the new layers of the shell!

so some scientists found out that them mollusks have like a butt load of calcium carbonate in their blood cells...(cool thing is that they could see what blood had the calcumb carb in cuz it was like shiny blood!! =]) and they were like.. hmmm i wonder if it's the calcium carbonate from the blood is the same calcuim that's being secreted in the jelly stuff and making the shell... SO... they made a lil hole in the shell to "induce repair" 48 hours later they found that there was 10% more shiny blood at the place where it was being repaired!

Cool eh? but still doesn't explain the different colours?!?!? aaaah!! i found it! ok so it is actually about what they eat.. oopsy don;t i look like a giant dumbass!! lol
in hotter places there are a lot more different coloured shells... but in cold places (IRELAND!!!!) they are mostly the same colour and usually darker! different foods eaten by the lil creatures cause different pigments to be made in the mantle and then they are "calcified" (ooh BIG WORD!) and so that's what gives them thier colour!
also the pattern has to do with their eating too! .. so if the pigment secretion is contiuous the lines will be in a spiral... but if it's periodic then they'll be lil spots or flecks! and.. if pigment is secreted at the same rate the colour will be uniform.. but if not then it'll be all wavy and stuff!

How cool is that! their pattern and colour depends on what they eat and how often they eat it!! Cool AS!

Wow!! i'm like smarter than i was like 30 minutes ago!

MAY DAY MAY DAY!

2009-05-03T21:46:00.002+01:00
yes! tomorrow is may bank holiday!! i flipping love may bank holiday monday cuz we always have a picnic or bbq at church!!! hell to the yeah!!!! fingers crossed that the weather will be ok!

Bubye!

La dee da

2009-04-30T22:30:00.002+01:00
Oopsy!! well.. yesterday i took an unexpected trip to travs.. stayed the night... so i didn't write!! duh!! but yeah!! today was good. went to college with trav.. to "study" lol it was fun!!! got really wet on the warm looking but wet grass!!

getting my visa stuff ready now!! well.. it's pretty much all ready.. i'm just kinda like freaked out about it!! lol dunno why.. but i am!!!

Anyway.. gonna go look up something interesting!!!

nothing to do but flu!

2009-04-29T00:24:00.004+01:00
GAH!! today was insanely boring!!! we were pretty much trapped in the house! lol

Damn county council was digging to put pipes down.. so of course the found the need to dig this massive trench across the driveway!! only filling it up at 3 so dad could go fetch mom from work!! now we have a digger on out lawn! Random!!
and boring!

From 2005 to January 2009, 12 human cases of swine flu were detected in the United States, without deaths occurring, the CDC said. And in 1976, a swine flu outbreak in Fort Dix, New Jersey, caused more than 200 illnesses and one death............... What's the freak out about?!?! it's nothing new!!?!?!?!

Every year in the US, between five to 20 percent of us are infected with the old-fashioned flu; 200,000 of us end up in the hospital; and around 36,000 of us die. ..... hmmmm so this is less fatal than normal flu!?!

............ so far only mexicans have died from this thinga majig.. and i'm guessing the hospitals and medicines there aren't exactly the best.... so why exactly are people freaking out so much!!?
Not saying it's nothing.. but is it as bad as people make it out to be?!?! i think it's just like this "recession" it's all media!! we have a mediated pandemic alert!

Meh!! if i die you can laugh and say i told you so!

bla bla blaaaaaa!

2009-04-27T23:46:00.003+01:00
today.. what a random day!!! went to Trav's for the moring.. then the mib came and helped Brown-Brown (brendan) with the garden.. i think some of them are a few fries short of a happy meal!! lol played guitar hero with Trav... Mark took a bath!! he was so cute!! slipping and sliding all over the place!!
when i got home i tuned the violin and played a wee bit!! lol.. twinkle little star is about all i can do right now... but it's only been one day! lol but it's fun!!
couldn't play drums cuz of course my sticks Broke (oops) and my gayface brother who hasn't played drums in like 3 years (that's not an exaggeration) decided today that he doesn't want me using his sticks... hmm.. after him getting ciggarette burns on my hoodies i lent him i was more than slightly pissed that he wouldn't let me use his unused sticks!! Dumb jerk!

hmm this swine flu thing is crazy.. i was thinking today how i wasn't worried about going to america in june.. but then i was like.. wait a minute... SHOULD I BE?!!? lol but Medic Meg thinks it should be safe... so i'll believe her.... but just incase i die.... this is me blaming her for my death!!! :P

ooh!!! i made this lil ball out of glue that i squirted into my hands and rolled dry!! then i doubled it's size today with more glue!! it's too cool!! lol it even bounces!! i'm trying to think of a name for it... it's a him... hmmmm i wonder if there's like a book .. like names for bouncy balls... instead of babies! DOUBT IT!!

anyway.. yeah it was a pretty random day!! funny though!! Kat gave me a dead leg and i got whipped in the eyes with maggies tail!! i was crying like a baby!! my eyes were open and suddenly.. BAM it hurt like hell!!!

Ok bye!!

CHRISTI GOT A VIOLIN TODAY!! YAY!

how flipping saweeet is that?!?! Dude i'm so happy right now!!!

New South African President... can we trust the papers?

2009-04-25T22:26:00.003+01:00
So.. the NEw president... there were rape aligations and stuff.. trial.. he went free and alot of people were pissed that he walked after what he did... but i'm not so sure if he actually did do it and that he's not one of the good guys...

Sure sure he's had no education.. infact grew up as a goat hearder.. but then again look at all the people who have gone to college and university or even that uni professor who just shot 3 people today... education doesn't make you a better person..

Jacob Zuma is also the only zulu in the ANC... odds are against him.. so was it all true or was it to make him look bad?

Hmmmm...

now he has said a few dumb ass things no doubt! and has become a bit of a joke for them.. like having a shower after unprotected sex with an hiv positive person will stop you from Getting infected.. "During the trial, Zuma admitted to having unprotected sex with his accuser but claimed that he took a shower afterwards to cut the risk of contracting HIV. This statement has been condemned by the judge, health experts, AIDS activists and the public in general."

ummm not exactly smart words... but still doesn't make him a bad person...

The case of rape went to trial but he was found not guilty because the judge believed that it was all consensual...

Fezeka Kuzwayo (Zuma's accuser) Alot of people feel sorry for her and say what a shame it is that a man of power can just do something like that and get away with it..

BUT...

Is he the first person to be accused of raping her?! Ehm nah! not the first at all!

"While Khwezi claimed she was a lesbian and had not consented to sex with Zuma, his legal team called a string of witnesses who testified to having been accused of rape by the complainant."
(www.africancrisis.co.za/Article.php?ID=14938&)

She has since been granted assylum in the Netherlands and is now on the list to get an expensive house, constant HIV care and all her meds etc..

so here's a tip for anyone looking for the good life... speak out against someone of power in your country.. that should make it easy for you to get free living! ha what a load of bull

I haven't made up my mind completely about Zuma but i sure have changed it somewhat!!!

We'll see!

think about it!

2009-04-25T22:20:00.002+01:00
hmmm well.. there's like the big swine flu thing going on in america right... nothing major.. YET... but it's interesting to read this email i got.. scary kinda too.... it says that 40% of the worlds population will be affected.. 50% of that will die... that's 20% of the worlds population!! scary thought eh?

About a month ago a seminar was put on by Dr. Susan Puls, who is a cardiologist appointed by the First Presidency of the Church as the head of the church's pandemic committee. She said she was not an expert on pandemics as this was not her speciality, but in the two years she's been in her position, is fast becoming one. She now works for the church on a full-time basis working on planning for pandemics and trying to get the word out to as many church members as possible. There were about 1400 people at the Saturday all-day seminar.

In her capacity, she works with the governor's pandemic committee and the federal pandemic planning agency.

She also said a pandemic is coming - not 'maybe' but is DEFINITELY coming.

She says the pandemic is expected within the next two years but she personally belives it will be 'sooner rather than later.' The various groups (CDC, WHO, etc..) do not know what the pandemic will be but 'first among their list of suspects is the avian bird flu. It's only one mutation away from being easily transmitted from birds to humans and from human to human.'

She said the World Health Organization expects 40% of the world population to become sick. Of those who become sick, they expect 50% will die. If you do the math - there are over 6 billion people on the earth today - that puts the death rate at over 1.4 billion people - and she says these deaths will happen over only a 3 to 4 month period of time.

Dr. Puls related that when the pandemic hits the US, mandatory quarantine's of all infected and NON-INFECTED peoples will occur within the first 48 hours. Only emergency personnel (Dr's, nurses, firemen, police, national guardsmen, etc..) will be allowed to leave their homes - not even to go to the store, etc.. This quarantine will last during the duration of the 'pandemic cycle' which will last approximately three months.

Her main point was that everyone will need a MINIMUM of 3 months supply of food at home as the governments of the world will be overwhelmed within the first week and cannot be counted on to provide food, medical help, etc..

She only briefly spoke on the 'social disruption' that will occur and did not go into any detail about what plans may, or may not exist, to deal with this. However - think about this - if your neighbors (both those you know and strangers) run out of food how might they react? Then think of all the individuals who already live outside of the law and are only 'controlled' by our current legal system. How might they react when law enforcement becomes innefectual due to illness among the ranks and those who abandon their jobs to stay home and protect their own families. Ditto for the national guard and our own military.

This isn't meant to scare anyone - just to provide a 'heads up' as 'to be forewarned is to be forearmed.'
