HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JAINA!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! :)
(it seems like everyone else already got to this, but i'll say it anyways!) i hope you had an awesome day!! love ya! :) (yeay for purple!)

you're so kidding o_o

this is insane, i don't have school today!! o_o the reason why this is so insane is that we've only had 1 snow day this school year, so it's rather surprising that we wouldn't have school day. soooo, i now have a whole day ahead of me, and no vocab quiz!! yeay! :) i don't know what i'm going to do with myself! sooooo, you know what would be really funny? if it didn't even snow. ha. that would be crazy. but my mom assures me it will snow, so, we'll see! it hasn't started snowing here yet....
today's the famine (hopefully!)!!! yeay! i can't wait, and hopefully we'll still have it even with the snow...i hope so...
anyways, that's my random story for today, hope y'all have a wonderful day! :)

meghan and my's club from camp...

soo...last summer at camp, meghan and i made up the most awesomest club in the whole world. and so last week i finally got around to making a graphic for it...so here it is, and the explanation...















so, i'll start from the beginning. it was chill time at camp, and meghan came to hang out with me on my bunk, because her bunk was right next to mine on the top, and we're just cool like that (btw, my bunk was just the most amazing bunk ever. i loved it, it was in the most perfect place. *teartear*) anyways, so it started off as the unwanted people's club, and then got many things added on to that. so, we started the unwanted people's club because we are unwanted by the other gender (yes, rather depressing, i know. but jaina and sophie were [and still are!] wanted and we weren't, so we needed a way to express our sadness...). so that's how it all started. i quickly became the fat unwanted people's club because we were just sitting on my amazing bunk eating chocolate and being sad, so we figured if we kept that up, we'd grow really fat pretty quickly. then we added the "watchless" part because neither of us had a watch and we had to keep asking other people what the time was. and we added the "who love archery" part because we just love archery! :) also, the "our dads love us but i don't think that really counts" part goes with the "unwanted people" part! :) anyways, that's just my random story for y'all right now, hope you enjoyed it! :)

pictures and songs

go check out more pictures from the "photoshoot".

my 2 favorite songs are now "You Never Let Go" by matt redman and "From the Inside Out" by Hillsong United.

from the inside out (the whole movie is great, the lyrics are simply amazing!)


"you never let go"

:) lol

i thought this was really funny--

You Should Play the Accordion

You are eccentric, funky, wacky... definitely one of a kind. People have trouble putting you in any one particular category. You definitely have your own thing going on. You are a born entertainer. No wonder you'd be perfect as an one man (or one woman) band. Your musical influences likely cross all genres - and blend together in a very unusual way. While you are definitely offbeat, you also enjoy tradition and influences from the past. It's just your style to take an old fashioned instrument like the accordion and make it uniquely yours. Your dominant personality characteristic: your total inhibition Your secondary personality characteristic: your interest in obscure activities and subjects

What Musical Instrument Should You Play?

:P

i'm kinda bored right now...just waiting at school to be picked up...i probably should be talking to teachers about the famine...i've raised at least $500 now, so i'm half way to my goal!! do you want to help me reach my goal of raising $1,000? please leave a comment, i need all the help i can get!! :) random famine facts: $30 can feed and care for a child for 30 days!! here in the US, $30 might get you a dinner and a movie. every day, 15,000 children, that's 1 every 6 seconds, dies from a 100% cureable disease called hunger. and you can help stop those appaling numbers from rising!! anyways...go check out sophie's blog, she wrote a really good post...

happy valentine's day!!

happy valetine's day to everyone out there!! :) hope you all had a great day! even if you didn't have a significant other sending you flowers (i didn't...but i did have an awesome mom leaving hearts in my lunch! thanks mom! :]), i hope you had an awesome day and remembered that God's love is so much better than any humans!! even if you don't get flowers or chocolate, you already have been given something so much better--God's love through Jesus!! God gave us the best valentine's day gift ever and showed His amazing love for us through sending Jesus die-showing us His love in the most spectacular way! and all He wants is our hearts and lives and love Him back! :) may you realize more deeply God's deep, deep love for you this valentine's day! :)

"how great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! and that is what we are!...this is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." james 3:1, 4:10

prayer and meghan's fanfic

sooo...i would just like to ask for prayer for me. i'm coming down with something, and mom thinks it might be the flu, but i really hope not. throughout school today, i had a big headache, sensitive skin (everything felt really rough), i was freezing and shaking, but my head felt like it was burning up from the inside out, my stomach felt funny, and my leg muscles ached and were sore. i had a fever, too!! in physics, i asked lauren if my face was red, and she said no, but when she felt my head, she said it was burning up. i'm feeling better now, but i think just because i'm on drugs (you all know what i mean...) so, if you could pray i get better soon, and it won't be the flu! :/ i'm so glad it's friday, so i can just sleep all tonight and tomorrow!! (and if i was acting a little weird at school today, that's why).
also, y'all need to go check out meghan's fanfic! it rocks!! meghan's a really talented writer!

random quizes...

i saw the post on mrs. b's blog about names, and i thought i'd check it out...i took a couple other of the quizzes, too, how accurate do you think they are??

my name...

What Tori Means

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

prayer, please

ashlee's going to shadow someone at my school tomorrow, and she's also doing an interview, too. she's in the process of applying for my school, so if you could pray for her, that would be awesome! pray that she wouldn't be nervous, and that she and my parents would have peace about her education, and just calmness knowing God's in control of everything (we definitely learned that with my education!)!! so, i'll try to keep y'all updated with ashlee's education, but for now, just pray for her! God is totally in control! :)
