Tomorrow, we are going up to West Virginia for my cousins bridal shower. There's something about weddings that makes every girl, little or old, fantasize about the dress, the wedding itself, and most importantly, the groom. In movies you see these big, white, perfect weddings, everything is just right, then the ex-boyfriend shows up, the brides still in love with him, so they run off to Vegas and get married by a Elvis impersonator, while the ex-groom stands there like a blinking idiot. Yep, that's definitley only in the movies.
The dress is one of the most important things. I've already started designing up dress ideas, not that I'm going to make any of them, maybe.
When the bride starts walking down the isle, everyone turns to look at her, and hopefully, they have a stunned look on their face. What I want you to do is when everyone turns to look at the bride, look at the grooms face. When you do you'll know why I told you to.

Hurricanes and Window Pains
Everytime that there's a hurricane coming, everywhere I look, (tv, computor, weather channel, my phone,) There are pictures or videos of people boarding up windows. That really confuses me because with the technology we have today, shouldn't we be able to make hurricane proof windows. I know that it would be very hard, and boarding up your windows might protect them from protect them from breaking, it just puzzles me.
Or better yet, why don't people just move out of the states that are hurricane prone! (is that used correctly) Seriously why would you want to live in a place where fercious storms rage through your towns, a couple times a year. This is only my opinion, but I couldn't handle worrying all the time about if my home is going to be destroyed, if my family is okay or not, if we loose our home, where will we go? I feel so bad for the people who are in the path of Hurricane Irene, just pray for them and their family.

Drama
What comes to mind when you think of that word. For some people they might be thinking about plays and theater, Wrong kind of drama! It's probably someone you know who likes to stir up, well, drama. We all know someone like that, the world just wouldn't be the same with out them....
Here's an example; If we killed Justin Beiber, (YES!) sure one or two people would be sad, but they would get over it... the only reason it's not dead is because killing is illegal. But if there were no dramatic people in the world, it would be so uninteresting and dull that we would all die of boredom and nothing to talk about. Which brings me to another subject.
Gossipers: I have to admit, I have gossiped, it's fun. But I definitley watch what I say, because it's never fun to be the subject. It's like it's programed into girls, to gossip, I'm not sure why. If we hear something about someone, one person might tell everyone, and another would keep it to themselves, until they find out if it's true or not. I'm kind of in the middle. I keep it to myselves, but if my friends are talking about it, I just listen, and then ask the person about it. Unless it's something really bad, then I just stay out of it.
Drama is one of the reasons that I don't really look forward to going back to school, all it takes is one girl, who thinks that her life is a soap opera, that the world is her stage, and that the people around her are other actors. I feel so bad for her target, even worse when it's me. That's only happened once, I just avoided her, and it stopped. Although, I know this is kind of mean, but it just cracks me up when I see someone on a mad rampage, like a tornado, tearing through the halls going looking for an unfortionate soul. When I think about it like that, it's pretty funny.
Most of the drama that I see is in books, and that's Romeo and Juliet, and from what I know, the drama that I'm talking about is NOTHING like that. By the way this isnt about anyone in particular, so no one take offense to this post. All that I want is a drama free, but entertaining and funny year.
A girl can dream... can't she?

Back to School
I know that you probably hate my guts right now for even bringing up this subject, don't worry, I hate them too.
Every where you look it's; back to school commercials, shopping, school supplies, countdowns, you name it. Have you guys seen that commercial, I'm not sure for what store, but random people start break dancing in the halls. In real life no one is going to bust out break dancing at school because they got new clothes. Get real.
To be honest, I actually really enjoy back to school shopping, why? Because I get a ton of new things, and more, because my birthday is September 5th, and school starts August 29th. I know that seems like quite a few days, but it's only a weeks difference. So more shopping, YAY! I just find it fun to get all the new school supplies, a new Vera Bradley bag, binders that I've already drawn on... actually I put a bunch of random quotes. My favorite part is decorating my locker! For some reason my locker NEVER shuts, I don't know why. I don't have that much stuff in it, thinking about it, I don't know what I have had in my locker, I feel bad for who ever gets my old one this year.
By the end of summer, I'm always ready to go back to school, I'm not sure why. I guess it's because I've done most of the things that I wanted to do, and I want to see my friends. Although, I still hate the bus, I usually get driven everyday, but not until we assign our seats... 8th graders get the back!

Music (continued.)
I had wanted to put a picture in my post, but I forgot, whoops! That's my guitar!
Music
So as many of you probably know, or don't know, I'm very musical. I can't sing for my life, but I do play the guitar, piano, and violin. Thinking about it, that isn't very musical...
I started guitar two months ago, and I'm getting okay at it... not really. I've always wanted to learn how to play guitar, and in 3rd grade I got a pink electric guitar for Christmas... (Its a piece of crap) and I promised Santa that I would take lessons, I lied. So after 4 years of really wanting to learn how to play guitar, I finally got one for Easter. This time I was able to pick it out.
I took my electric guitar to one of my lessons, to see if it needed fixed or anything, my guitar teacher pretty much hinted that it was a piece of crap, and that I should just get a new one. So I've been looking online, and my neighbor, who has like seven guitars, has been showing me his, so that I can see what I like. I ended up getting a Epiphone Faded G-400 something electric guitar, in worn cherry. I'm pretty excited about it! It was 299.00, which was pretty expensive for me, since it was my first electric guitar, that I bought, but I'm sure it's going to be totally worth it.
I've got to go practice!

Empire, Michigan Empire Beach
my mom and dad
The really nice lot that we stayed at after we extended our stay for 9 days and we got moved.
The thing that looks like a "shed" has a full size refridgerator, sink, table, chairs, counter, bar, and has sliding metal doors that open up the outdoor bar table. Yes that is my dad's motorhome.
Sunset at Empire Beach. If anyone is in Michigan, and they love beautiful sunsets, this is the place to go!
Our last day, well at Indigo Bluffs, we still have to go to the Shrine of the Little Flower. ! :'( On the isolated beach!
Walk way down to the isolated beach.
Me with my dad on the Empire Beach.
My mom and I somewhere, I'm really not sure.
The sandcastle we built at the Tee Pee camp.
Before it was crushed RUDELY!
Me by the pond at Indigo Bluffs.
My dad and I, trying (unsuccessfully) to hide behind a tree. My dad and I always take a picture with trees on our vacation.
A really cool tree that we saw. lol it kind of looked like the one from harry potter that hit everyone.
A steep drop off from a sand dune. Those are people down at the bottom! Good luck getting back up.
Pretty
Biscotti, Mia, and Bella think that they own my bed, hate to break it to them but... they don't
Fourth of July sunset before the amazing firework show! I didn't get very good photos.
