random stuff about life

ok do you talk to yourself? I DO! Majorly, like all the time, it's the only way to get an intelegent conversation going! Lot's of people do it so you shouldn't be embarressed when someone catches you, but we are, why. It's human nature I guess, especially when you think your the only one around then you turn around and someone is watching you! When I was 7 or 8 maybe 9 I was watching ZOOM (a awsome PBS kids program that used to be on 4 or 5 years ago, it showed kids how to make awsome crafts and food, play fantastic games, put on hillarious plays, work exciting science experiments, and showing what other kids were doing and going through) and I put one of those cardboard tubes they wrap wrapping paper around on my arm and started pretending I was on the show and telling that I had lost my arm, and I turned around and my dad was sitting there and he started LAUGHING at me, it was SOOOOOOO embarrasing. I used to pretend that I was on ZOOM all the time, when I cooked I always messured out stuff and put it in seperate bowls then tell my "audience" (aka the microwave) what I was using and how to make it. I still do sometimes... don't tell anyone!!
I teach a sunday school class at church and I love it. If I didn't have to go through such hard schooling I think I'd like to go into Child Psychology, maybe I will anyway. Anyway I guess I could do my own studdies. Have you ever noticed that the oldest girl in the family is naturally more attached to her dad? And the oldest boy is usually more attached to his mom? Sure they still act like a girl, or a boy, and they enjoy spending time with eather parent, but when both parents were home on a saturday when they were little if they got hurt, sure they went to mommy, it's natural, but the first little girl will want her daddy to hold her, or when her get's home from work she shows him immediatly. Oldest girls will often get into sports to spend time with their dad. The relashionship isn't just feelings but they often look and act more like the parent of the opposite gender, I'm an only child. So of course I'm the oldest girl so I am a lot like my dad, I love doing things that let me spend time with him. Through the years we've been into soccer (which I still LOVE), astronomy, amature radio, and all sorts of other things. I suppose I'm boring you with this... leave comments if you have anything to say about how this whole parent-to-child relationship works in your family!!! i'd love to hear!

I must be trippin'

Well my post yesterday was really long!! Well as I said I'm going on two youth group trips and I'm supper excited. Excited like a little girl who just got a pony! OK maybe not, but I am pumped for them. I went to the doctor today, found out I don't have problems with my ears, it's my jaw, how screwed is that? Last night at youth group Mr. Mac taught, sure durring school I hear him teach everyday, but youth group is kinda a little different, it was good. I'm taking a big bag of suckers on the trip (the kind you eat not the kind that are born every minute Ü) I might make some cookies too! YAY the timer went off!!! And you're like "What?" Well I went to the dentist too, and you know after the floride stuff you can't eat for 30 min, and I was STARVING, so now I can eat-- the chips I was supposed to save for the trip... ooooops, oh well we can get more! Ü I love the little Ü thing!!!! Well I want to come home to a clean room so I better go work on it, *sigh* I'd rather go swimming or something...

Just Talking

Sunday I and my friend abby went to the pool, FREEZING, so we just sat on our towels and tanned, well she tanned i more or less, more or less. Monday?
