Cancun Fri-Mon

We are in Cancun!

We left cold Seattle on Friday morning. When we got to Mexico, it was very hot, but since it was nighttime, we couldnt really see the hotel very well. Our room is very nice. Dad and mom dont like the beds, because they're very small. There is this random column in the middle of the room, so i havent attempted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. There is a jacuzzi though. haha. My favorite part is the hammock on the balcony.
Each night there is a performance. The first night was a pirate performance. It was pretty cool. I was expecting a weird play, but it was mainly gymnists.


Sunday, i went to Isla Mujeres with all the credit union people. I went snorkling, which was very short, but we saw plenty of fish. Mom bought a cute little scripture bag type thing. She bargoned for some hammocks, but Dad convinced her not to get them.




We mainly sat around and swam on Monday, but it started raining really hard last night. It only lasted about a half hour, and i went and ran around like i was ten years old. I even attempted a few cartwheels. :)

We went to a Micheal Jackson show, and it was really good. The mexican guy who was Michael looked very authentic and lip-synched well. :) Mom and Dad really liked it.

I've read two books so far. I read Anne of the Island, and am looking forward to reading the next book, and I read Persuasion, by Jane Austen. I actually listened to that on my iPod, and was extremely disapointed that it was abridged.

Sadie Hawkins

We met at Jocelyn Chang's House and made pizzas, and then we went and took pictures at the high school.

After, we went and played Lazer Tag at Laserquest. The first game, Christian took second, and i took fifth (out of 25).The next time, we all decided to form an alliance, and no one did very good.

Then we went to the dance. There was rockband in the cafeteria, and so we played like one game, and then me, sean, stephanie and brandon went back to the dance. A half hour later, everyone else came to the dance, but Sean and I and Stephanie/Brandon were still like the only ones who danced.

Then we went back to our house, and make gingerbread (graham cracker) houses. Sean and I made an outhouse. It rocked.

Prince Chaming?

We had our winter sports assembly on Friday. They do this thing where you can ask for wishes for your friends and then they grant them at assemblies, and they always try to present them in a clever way, so this year, they brought out this golden retriever and it had wings attached to it. The two girls brought the dog out to the middle of the floor and told Prince to sit. When they thought he was sitting, they started talking, but i noticed that the dog wasn't really sitting... i told enrikson that my dog "sat" like that when she went to the bathroom, and sure enough... two giant logs of poop came out onto the middle of the gym floor. Everyone started freaking out, and the administrators didn't even try to stop everyone. Mr. Albrecht sat down on the couch and dug his head into the pillows and Mr. Anderson was super red in the face. At least three people around me were crying. Sadly, they didn't bring Prince out for any more wishes. :(

My Attempts at Art and Creativity

So this is how I asked to Sean to Sadie's. Unfortunately, a lot of the letters came off because he doesn't know how to solve one and so he barely understood the message by the time he finally got Payton to solve it for him. Ah well- i liked the idea a lot. He answered by giving me back my pillow and blanket that he had stolen about a month ago.

For Gianna's birthday, Stephanie and I took her to Color Me Mine. The venue was in North Seattle: Queen Anne. That is the cutest little town I've ever seen. I really liked it. The shop was really cute. Making them was really fun. Gianna and Stephanie both attempted to use a stencil, but they didn't really work. I started out really ambitious, but then realized the absurdity of my hopes, and settled with a goal much easier to obtain. However, I was really pleased with the result. Lesson. Tape=Good. Stencils=Bad.

For a couple years, I have been saving my movie stubs and dance pictures and some other random things, and I've been taping them onto my dresser. After this last dance, I finally ran out of room, so now i have to use the sides of my dresser. Not really that important, I realize, but i was very excited about it.

In graphic arts, we've been working on garage band music. Then we voted on the best one from each class. The person who won got a shirt. I didnt win. Mine was very musically organized, but it didnt have a lot of cool synthesizers, so i had no chance. However, my teacher loves me, and so she gave me a shirt anyways, although it didnt say winner on it. I proudly wore that tshirt for the ten minutes left of school.

Roadshow

So I found out there is going to be a 24 hour roadshow in January, and we need seven themes. I've never been in one, or have even seen one, so does anyone have ideas for themes?
thanks!

Date!

Last night i went on a date with Adriel Johnson. The other couples were Anders Bostrom and Kartina Slaugh and David Hinkley and Arielle Holmes. I was really excited to go, because all of those people are really fun. We first went to the Family Fun Center and played mini golf. It was fun, but I lost my ball somewhere along the course, because we stopped and took a bunch of pictures, and i forgot about it. Some lucky kid will pick it up probably. Katrina was going to Homecoming that night, so we took her to her friends house in Belluvue.

Then we went to their ward's Halloween Party. Their ward is able to do so much more stuff. At our parties, we have like face painting and that fish game, but they are actually allowed to have a spook alley. Some of the stuff was pretty scary. The young men were in charge, so I was the only girl in the alley (Arielle was an escort). I had borrowed a robe thing with a really big hood from Arielle that could cover my whole face and so i was in the last room. In my room was this jail thing they made, and the bars were made of rubbery stuff, but looked really solid. There was a kid in a gorilla suit and he would run around in the cell and then go through it and ran at the kids. It looked super freaky in the strobe light. The first group of kids were screaming through the entire thing, but then they went and told all of their friends, and so after that, when they came into that room, they would be like "Hi Gorilla Man, I Love You" to calm themselves down. I hid under a table and scared David twice, but didnt scare Adriel at all.

They had a break, and so the guys were fooling around in the gym, and Adriel did this cartwheel thing that went into a full back flip. It was crazy. I was talking to Anders at the time, and he was like "Its because he's a ninja". So then we did all of our human tricks, and i did the arm thing, and they all tried, and Adriel got super super close to doing it. I've never seen anyone else get that close. It was crazy.

After the party, we went to Adriels house and played DDR, and David's twin Jeff and another girl came over. (Jamie and Callie-- you would love his house, it's like completely Japanese, and thats all he and his mom speak.) We played spoons, and his mom fed us, and then we played Egyptian Ratscrew. Then they took us home. It was an extremely fun date.

My face in type.

In graphic arts, we had to re-draw our face, only using letters. It was hard because we had to keep manipulating the type. This is my completed project. I was supossed to use mainly letters, but i used mostly parentheses. ah well.
