to tired to make a title
I am really excited i am going to take tumbling lessons again! Its been several months...like at the end of last year. I am doing it at Oxford. They have a good deal its only $40 per month. And i talked to some other girls who did cheer with me and we opened a private class so its only the 4 of us. It will be nice and hopefully its a good experience for all.
I'm bored....Its late too, Its 11:00 PM
UGH we have to take the WASL this comming Monday. YUCKIE! but if we pass it we get 1/4 of a credit, so if we pass all 4 sections (reading, writing, math and science) we get 1 misc. credit towards graduation! COOl HUH? And if we pass it we will not have to take it our JR. and SR. year of high school. And we will get s 2 hr. late start if we pass all 4, if not, we get retakes in the summer, then Jr. year, summer then SR. year, so you get enough chances to pass. There is really no way to study for it, you have to do your best, have a clear mind, and stay positive. Do not doubt yourself.
Varsity went to Anehiem, CA(where Disneyland is) last week and today they competed and qualified for finals. So tomorrow, we can watch a live broadcast at 12 in the afternoon at varsity.com and watch them compete. GOOD LUCK GIRLS!
Hmmm, what to do, i should go to bed. IDK-
bye.................................................................
Love,
Amanda H.
P.S
Lately i have noticed that well idk how to put it, more responsible? I am able to sort out whats right and whats wrong easily...Understanding others, Listening to myself, Taking care of others, Watching and cleaning up after them. I can not really explain what it is. I appreciate life every second of it. When i see the sunrise each morning and the sunset each night, i know its my Uncle Dick watching over me. I LOVE YOU!
*My hairs long enough now i can put it in a pony tail! YAY! i am debating wether to keep it this length or cut it short to the chin where it crops my face. All the people i have asked liked it the way it is now. hMmmm.
GOODNIGHT!
WOAH- its 11:11 PM thats a song by the "All American Rejects"

Life-Whats Important to me(ooo, Thats a good title for a book! SWET> Or a poem i guess)
(To follow up on my title, this is quick and random, in 5th grade i wrote a wonderful poem "What Freedom Means To Me" and it was submitted in my schools paper! YAY! My teacher gave me an A. I am very PROUD of my writings)
What's Important in Life
*Always Stay Positive
*Say nice things to others and yourself
*Smile at someone, you just might be that one person who made their day
*Be you
*Know your priorities
*Listen to your heart
*Choose the right in any situation
*Take care of yourself first then others
*Always look at the glass half full rather than half empty
*Spend time with family, yet take time for yourself
*Trust youself and others
*Find the happiness with what you have
*Simple pleasures
*LOVE
*Being curtious

I have been sick for the past 3 days- i was sick WED-Fri. we did not have school monday because of presidents day, so really i only went to school 1 day. :p. I did not have the flu surprisingly, everyone around here is sick with that or something else. I had a high fever, chills, headaches, felt hot, sore throat, stuffy nose. You name it i most likely had it. My brother was with me all 3 days. He was sick too. So today my mom left for work later-ish around 1:30 and Steven and i were on are own for a while... we watched home videos, they were so fun.
We watched one in the time line about '02-'03 and my brother was remarking how i talked funny and later on i told my mom how he was picking all these random little things about me that was "wrong" with me. For example i talked kinda funny. I did not realize how much getting my adnoids(ad-noid-i guess its spelled how it sounds. woops) out when i was in like 2nd or 3rd grade helped. I could breathe so much better and i and my communication was better. You adnoids are somewhere behind you nose. I think. I got them taken out because at night i would always breathe through my mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I talked to Morgan and Maddy today! YAY! that was nice, i love talking to them. They are so silly. While i was talking to Morgan i saw this HUGE (well like the size of a nickel, maybe smaller...) spider and i screamed. So i told steven to get it ( He does not like spiders at all...he only killed it so it would not come in his room at night) so he said "Where Is It?" I could not find it. Eventually i did and he killed it. Maddys birthday is soon and shes having a snake birthday, sounds creepy but cool!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDY!
What are these? I never used them before so i will see what they turn out to be.(Hint: they are block quotes)
My dad and my brother are watching LOST, so i am up here being bored. I don't like LOST. It scares me. :) Lots of things scare me.
Wow i can write a lot about nothing, thats funny. Talk to you guys soon! BYE!
A song i want to learn on the Piano is "LOVE SONG" by Sarah Berilies. ( i think i spelled her last name wrong- woops.)

hi-
TODAY WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!! I DROVE MY DADS THUNDERBIRD!!!!!!!
AHAHAHAH! I could not wipe the smile off of my face. : ) i pract. around this
neighborhood by my school and then my dad was like " i have confidence in you,
i'll let you drive it home!" So i said okie dokie, to get to my house there is a
hill you have to go up so i was hesitant to go up it with my daddys car but i
did it, and as we approached our neighborhood i was like " I want to drive
more" so my dad let me drive longer in Ashley Heights ( big neighborhood with
spendy houses...) and after i was finished driving around there i got the mail (
well my dad go it, i stayed in the car.) He said i could drive it home, i was
SHOCKED! Steven was in the back seat the whole time and when my dad said that
hes like " Noooooooo, don't leave me...lol-" so i drove home ( illeaglly, lol- i
only have my permit, but then again i was just in my neighborhood, my house is
like a football feild away). After i turned off the car
and was in my driveway i told my dad i still wanted to drive more, I HAD SO MUCH
FUN! so he said ok- and i drove to my Uncles old house ( he passed away a couple
of years ago) and his house was on a big hill that looked over Vancouver Lake
and i looked at it, it was beautiful~ then i was finished and drove home. So
thats my eventful news!
Heres another little perk from an e-mail that i sent to my friend, sometimes i have little moments flows.
~I wish you the best, even in this mess, the rain is soon to go, You're angel is above you, giving you wings to guide you, because she knows you have the strength.
~Sleep my little child, hear my voice as you dream, i'll be in you're heart and your dream. smile on the inside and the out...make note that there is nothing to worry about. Let you mind flow free, listen to you surroundings, hear the word of love that everyone seems to be mislead by.
~Go down to the shore and swim at the beach, play inthe wavesand enjoy the heat. take a break and share a cake! make a sand castle that you can stand in.( a human sand castle, that would be AWESOME!)
okay moving on, In the last2 weeks the JV cheer team that i am on got to cheer at Varsity games. OMG it is way better than cheering for jv,
The past 2 days i have been sick- that has not been fun. I have had a fever, chills, sore throat and headaches. *sigh* its not fun when your sick.

i dont know what to call this, any ideas?
Everything is goin away
why did we all have to leave
There are people in the way
plannning to stop you and me
They want us to leave and say never---say why
why we want to help and reach out with are arms
willing to let them in
and loving where we've been and where we are now.
As we begin to leave we see people like you and me
Confused and puzzled because they feel Their spirits are below their feet
There is a cloud of heavy rain that falls on their heads
But when it comes to smiling tears rage instead
There is no reason for there freak accidents to happen
So when the surprise comes the people have to think quick
Help themselves before they can help their other
And hope that God won't bring the to heaven just yet but he will protect them
A journey that is traveled with sorrow
only brings happiness in the end
It resembles what we can accomplish
even when the world is dim
When we go away we wish it was only temporarly
But sometimes its the end
When life seems hard and the world suddenly gets dim
try to find a light that you believe in
Wether its a friend, a god, a tangible and intangible thing
Your hope can bring you spirit back to your heart
Even though the world is dim, somewhere in the world a light is on
Continue the path you are teaveling and carry on.
~Amanda H~
If i could be young again and today
So my conclusion is when i have a child i will let them try out sports when they are young and let them choose which one they like. That way they can say that they expierenced all kinds of sports, met nice people and had fun.
Our cheer season just ended and on friday were going to BIG AL's with the cheer team after school. that will be fun!
At pract. on monday our coach told us that most likely there will be pretty much 8 spots on V when we try out. That means i have to get in very good shape, pract. my jumps like crazy and do the best i can! Then again i am still debatinng if I want to do V cheer or get back into competition cheer. Or if i choose to do neither of them i would want to do like a tumbling class.
Life is full of wayyyyyy to many choices.
The only reason i am debating about next year is because most likely the odds will be that i have to be a flyer, and this year i did not really like cheering ( our crowds were so dull, literally there was like nobody in the stands....so that makes it even harder to cheer ) . i don't know.
I stayed home the past 2 days sick, on monday i had this horible head ache and was cold all day, yesterday i had a head ache and got cold every now and then, today i woke up warm-ish (clammy) still have aminor head ache, my throat is kinda sore and yup. thats all i can think of. Its kinda weird because you can't really define what i have... i just have some sort of cold.
I can't wait until my mom gets home, she got me a new book, well its the 2nd book of the series,
Series: The Dawn Rochelle Series
Author: Lurlene McDaniels
Book 1: "Six Months To Live"
Book 2: "I want to Live"
its about a girl who has cancer. i would recomend the series to any one. They are small books and easy to read but they are still really good!
Hope you all have a good day!
Love,
Amanda
My new favrite song is Love is Free By Sheryl Crow


GOOD SONG-( its pretty ) "Lullaby for Wyatt"
I admire Sheryl Crow so much- shes such a good person, she stands strong to her beliefs, has beautiful voice. I want to meet her someday.
The lyrics to the chours are:
Oh everybody
Devil take your money
Money got no hold on me
oh oh
everybody
Making love 'cause love is free
The way i interpret that is even if she lost everything, all of her money, fame, she would still have her family who believes in her. LOVE IS FREE=BEST SONG EVER!

The weekends past up until tomorrow!
Saturday- all of the SHS cheerleaders had to go and help out with a kids camp, it was from like 11-3:30 4 ish, and we taught them cheers, jumps, and chants. They were so cute. And the deal was that when they signed up to do this camp they get to cheer at the V game(Varsity) and be the half time preformance. They were so adorable. I worked with 2nd graders. No offense but i prefer littler kids than older ones. Okay and then after the camp i was really exausted so i started watching HSM 2 because i did not want to take a nap yet and then slowly i drifted to sleep for like and hour, Then at 6:30 i babysat until 11. WOW- what a day.
Sunday- I went with my grandma to Craft Warehouse, and there were stations in the store where we could make our own things. I made a magnet (those are so FUN and easy!), a Card, Colored ( Emily- i wanted to spell color you way in that sentence, i almost did it again now, lol!) a candle, imbroided a piece of fabric and made this flour lookin baloon thing. Its hard to explain the look. Then we went to Nordy's ( Norstrom) to go have lunch with my mom. I HAD THE BESTEST IN THE NORTH WESTEST sanwhich, it was a cali. chicken sanwhich. I htink that was what its called, if someone ever goes there and has it please tell me the name. So my nonni took off and i roamed the mall for 2 hrs alone, i went to AEROPOSTALE, PAC SUN, HALMARK( It is so hard to leave that store, there are so many creative and fun ideas), walked in VICTORIAS SECRET, AMERICAN EAGLE and then got a Dr.Pepper at Auntie Annes Pretzels,- They have the most wonderful strawberry lemonade. yummmmmmmmmmmmy. I was waiting for my mom to get off work and the people got "mad" that i was sitting in their department, so they made me sit in customer service..... lame//////////// i waited for a while and then we went home, On the way home my mom was like " You want to go to target?" and i said sure what the heck.. I saw Alex there! ( she's in my GS troop, and no i am not to old to be in girl scouts.)
Today-
~ my dad just came in and asked me what "font" i was using and it does not say.... All it says is "FONT" funny huh?
At the half time show there was this wonderful girl who was sitting next to me, i had such a good time talking to her, she was in my group. I was asking her like what i should get my mom for her B-day and she said make her something from Ceramics By You. And i thought that was a cool idea. I wish i could send her flowers at work. That would be cool! um, idk yet. but i got her a card thats nice. " ) that was what i wanted to say earlier.
I just listened to Sheryl Crow and her new song "LOVE IS FREE" its good. check out the video on youtube or something. and its almost 11 (Now- 10:44 PM) gotta go. even though its a late start i still need my beauty sleep.
Well because i forgot what i was going to say i will tell you what my webkinzs look like or what they are, (P.S i named them) MURPHY is a yellow lab and Koco is a Koala. ( that word is sooooo hard to spell. LOL!)
Tomorrow- IS MY MOMS BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! so i am not going to cheer pract. tomorrow and i will be home when she gets home, we are having a party for her.
In ASL class i have to sign Work This Out which i am excited about but the only thing i do not like is that our teacher is recording us on a video camera, some how i got ot get pased that. I don't mind being filmed, but still.......... Well i think i can close this up now.
OH YEA- 2 hr late start i keep forgetting.... ha ha
I have a biology test tomorrow. YIPEE!!!!!!!!! jk, actually i really don't mind biology, i may not understand it 100% but i don't mind it. : p
HAVE A GREAT NIGHT~
Love Always,
Amanda Panda
P.S
Today i really missed my Uncle Dick. In History i have to do a CBA (Criculum Based Assement) and we have to do it on a job, i did(earlier we did a career research paper in english and i did it on photography)/doing mine on photographers, and like we have to talk about how photography helps the economy, what laws can restrict it and what do we have to know about the laws, education- and how will it help you becoem successful ya-da ya-da ya-da the list could go on and on(So i will stop. Its due in 1 week, i have FINALS NEXT WEEK! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH). But i really wish Uncle Dick was here, he loved photography, he was a great person and it would be nice for some guidance on my paper, and even just guidance in general. Its so weird how his son ( my cousin) reminds me and looks so much like him. Anyways, i wrote a poem for him, i will add it in later, i think its downstairs at the moment. I can remember in 8th grade for culture fair we had to pick a person we wanted to interview, and the biggest SPARK of HAPPINESS came in my mind. I was thinking i would interview my uncle dick. Then my happiness started to fade away. I realized he was not here any more. Its hard to understand how a person can be here one second and gone the next.
Lately i have been trying new things, such as food, my style of clothing ect. its kinda cool. My mom pointed that out to me and i was proud of myself. I am not a big change person at all.
Tomorrow, i am going to go on a run and go back to that place last time where i kinda freaked out and did "not feel real" i am curious to see if it will happen again. i think i will be fine. What i try to do my best at every day is be positive, i may not always be happy inside, but i do my best to stay positive, who knows maybe i will make someones day or help them realize that even if something is wrong you can always turn you life around.
In PE online i am basically flunking, but thats a long story.
Summary-
In the beg. i could not log on. My comp. would not allow the site
They changed my password on me.
Then i figured it out and had to make up stuff.
I was not getting the required hrs (6) in per week, for some reason i thought it was 3. YIKES!
now he is letting me make up stuff which is nice and i will hopefully pull out an C. I was not happy. So 2nd smister i have to step it up.\
Wehw- i wish this could be my paper, but only about photography. lol, then i would be finished.
Um on my SOPHMORE RESEARCH PAPER i was the only person in my class who got 0% plagerized ( THATS AWESOME BY THE WAY....lol) and i got a 100% on my paper. It made me angry that almost everyone got 100%, he did not really grade our paper, he skimmed it and made sure we had everything that was needed to turn in, and gave us credit for that.
GOSH i never shush do I.
alright i am stopping now. "GOODNIGHT! SLEEP TIGHT! DREAM OF BED BUGS TONIGHT!"-Pumba from the LIon Kind 1 1/2
I recomend everyone to check out this website: He is my hero. http://www.treyfootefoundation.com/index.html
Its for a kid at my school who passed away from cancer. He is an amazing person (even though i never knew him, from all the stories, pictures and knowing his family members you get the sense of Trey.)

tornado and yesterday
~~~~Um so like on Thursday we were supposed to have a fire drill, key word "Drill", and then they decided to turn the power off and then turn it back on. After the power came back on our principal came on the intercom and siad "That will include our drill".... a few minutes later she came on the intercom again and said to get away from all the windows, this is a tornado drill...... All the students went into the middle of their classrooms and then once again she came on the intercom and said there was a tornado warning. I WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SCARED...yet calm. So i tried calling my mom and dad, they both did not answer... so i called my friends in texas but they did not answer either. I wanted someone to talk to , but the only bummer was i did not get much service (like 1 bar) and i did not want to let others know i was scared. If it was more severe i would be scared. Our class just sat there for a while and she( our principal) said we can go about our day, just stay away from windows and once we get home just lay low for the rest of the day. For a second i thought she said we had to stay in 5th period the rest of the day ( 2 hrs to go! YIKES) but i heard wrong. so thats my BIG-ish SCARY news.
Last night i cheered at a Boys basketball game, it was very intense, we lost by 2 pts. After the game i showed mom my school and then we decided we were going to go out to dinner. We could not discribe what our taste-buds wanted so we raomed places and ended up at Baja Fresh ( I LOVE THAT PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and then saw a movie called "THE BUCKET LIST"-ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME! i recomend you all see it.
BYE BYE!,
Amanda
oh i got my present from my cousin, Cassie, and i got a notebook to write my hopes and dreams in it and other things.... and i got a little coach coin purse thingy. It can hold you keys too.
P.S
2 great things that happened to me: I got to talk to my M&M's and......... THE SUN IS SHINING TODAY!

Future-----------Past
*Quick question for EMily: Do you spell pajamas the same as i do?*
We almost got finished, The fabric is thin, but the plus side to that is I can say "I MADE THOSE!" and they are PINK! cool huh? it would be fun to put different patches on them and each patch could symbloize different things. Alright lets move on. Nonni came over around noon so we had about 2 1/2 hours to sew. (Preperations take a long time) and then i had to go to my TMJ appt. My splint broke, so today i got a new one, well its the same one just all fixed up. I did pretty well without it for a day, but it feels better to have it in. ( i think i will still have it in when i get my top braces. I would rather get both at the same time but what ever works best...) And to end the night off we went bowling with our neighbors ( we kinda had a family VS family challenge, they had a batter avg. but it was all fun) after bowling i played some games and just out of one game i got like 300 TICKETS!!!!!!!!! CHA CHING! lol :p That made my day. And on my other BIG AL's Card i had like 400 and sumthin tickets so in the end i had a total of 774 tocketrs to spend. I want to get a ipod nano ( i have a video_, not the newest one that just came out the one before it. the long and skinny one. It would be nice for running, or even a shuffle for that matter, they had that too. SO i want to save ALL my tickets. On the way home my dad stopped at Burgerville and got us ice cream. YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For some reason this did not trun purple...wonder why? sorry about that.
-BACK IN TIME-(NEW YEARS<>
New Years EVE- For dinner on New Years EVE we called around places downtown and they were both packed...so they say. We normally go to Henrys Tavern (soooo good!) or P.F Changs . They are one block away from each other and that was the first time they were really packed so we ( our neighbors and I) went to Chili's. Our server looked like a combination of one of our old neighbors and his son. it was soooo weird. It was really embarssing: At the table

Christmas- WAS AWESOME! IT SNOWED IN BIGGGG FLAKES, but it did not stick sadly, so early christmas morning i went over to my neighbors house to srop off their gifts,(they had their family over) and they invited us in. I was sur
Christmas EVE- Was okay, i was not the happiest camper. For dinner we went down to our neighbors house( this time it was a different neighbor) for dinner. We thought we would give it a chance and try it out. So we had a yummy lasagna lookin thing, but it was not called lasagna. It was goooood! Then i ran home and got my "Polar Express" book and then came back. (Brenda, the mom made us spanish hot choc. which is not my prefrence, but thats okay). When i was ready to read the book i read it to steven and Garin ( have i told you this all before? oh well) and they were not paying much attention, but i read it anyways for myself. : ) the parents were loud too. Then we turned on the movie and because no one was watching it with me Jody sat down with me and watched part of it. Then we went home and opened a couple of presents, ( like 2) and i guess i had a attitude that night, i was tired, and did not seem to appericiate the gifts.
SO i was upset, talked it out with my mom and then went to bed. <- that was a nutshell. lol.
Christmas DAY(Cont.)- WAS GREAT! I loved my presents, so did my brother. My dad got spoiled this year. lol. Every year there is always at least one person that you collect for without thinking over time and then it comes to christmas and BOOM! There it is.
What i got for Christmas:
Lava Lamp(Purple and Orange) Adidias Boots(Very comphy, i wear them a lot, its more like a shoe fit) $15 Itunes card Money from family SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!! I ♥ socks, espically warm ones $10 Blockbuster gift card $25 Target Gift Card Outfit: Vest, shirt, Jeans, Belt and Scarf My mom put the charms on my charm braclet HSM 2 DVD-YAYAYAYAYAYAY HSM 2 DS game Monkey ball DS game Nerf Case(blue like this color, sorta, but darker) It protects it more and i have a pink DS so not i call it cotton candy. get it? blue and pink! *I am running a blank in my mind, sorry....... Its late, its 11:17*
Coach Purse Hand Warmers(THANK THE LORD FOR THOSE, i can use them when i got to the bus early in the morning when its freezing like 46 degrees or lower. It only got down to about 37 degrees at the most though...but thats my guess, i am not a wether woman) Portable speackers that plug into my ipod, and they are not battery operated! SWSWEET!
Thats all i can think of for now. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
BOOK I RECOMEND TO EVERYONE!
Written By: Sean Cover
Title: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
I am almost done and after i am finished i want to read
Written By: Sean Cover
Title: The 8 Habits of Highly Effective people
What i like to do with those books is write side notes and underline then highlight a passage or quote that i like.
He is a very good author and explains stuff well. Last night or the night before i was reading passages to my mom and she said another cool job for college or like um, to study about is phycology. ( Can't spell ) i could be a childrens phycoloigest. I love to be with little kids, They are always fun and have a smile on their face, sometimes i wish i could be one again maybe just for a day.... Another job/career i like also as a hobby is writing poetry, maybe i should take some journalism classes, but the only thing is, is that i do not like writing reports... i am more of a expressive writer.
I am bored.
----------------------------------------------------------
Well heres another thing,
I mentioned before on how i was not "feeling real" and these past few days i have been feeling great. I feel like i am me and i am here for a reason. This thing "Episode" what eva you want to call it does not happen every day. Just sparaticly every now and then. So am very pleased with that. I don't know how i am feeling better about it but i am!
----------------------------------------------------------
Beauty Tip: If you do not like getting your eyebrows waxed,Like me, ( i have done it once, its really not that bad) and you pluck them, put some lotion on them and then pluck them with a magnified mirror. I like the mag. mirror because you can see what your doing. i don't like it when i can't. lol.

P.S
now i am mad, my brother took my ummm SD card out of my camera and put it in his video camera and then he gave it back to me and now i don't have any pictures on it. I AM P.O.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now i don't even remember what pictures i had on my camera.......... i want to cuss but i try not to. It does not make me feel better at all. not even a split second. but sometimes i say it in my head... or very quietly if i am by myself.
-Well i guess part of it is okay now, i went onto his account because i remmebered he wantted to make a christmas slide show, and he had to use my camera tp put the pics. on his side and so now i got them from his side and i have some left, fortunatly.
Emily- i want to call you, I miss you tons. Are you in school? i would be bummed if you were because i am up right now...sorta, and weekends sometimes i am and someitmes i'm not.

Cherish the Angel who arose today
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
This video is a telethon for Doernbecers Hospitial
At the moment i do not have time to write my grandma is going to pick me up soon, I posted this video to spread the awareness of childhood cancer, Boey was one of the angels who got to meet God at an early age. So please spread this video around.
They Byers Family: I send all my prayers and whishes to you. Stay strong.
So far i have known or heard of several people who have passed that are either in my family of close by: My auntie K, Grandpa, Boey, Trey Foote.
Make a Wish foundation is a foundation of my hcoice that i save up my own spare change and in time when my bowl of change gets full i will donate it. I encourage you all to pick a charity that is dear to your heart. Help save a life.
SMILE and HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Love,
&harts;Amanda♥
PS: I dedicate this to Boey, i made this for you.
"Cherish the angel who arose today, she traveled many battles that came her way, Confident was her middle name, Defeat came in last place. Where ever she was you could not see the pain that was hidden underneath her face. A radiant smile shines her personality." -Amanda
PSS
Thats all i could think of for right now, sometime or later i will add on to what i wrote for boey. Sometimes it takes me a while to gather my thoughts and ideas for a special person.
*Hope your enjoying heaven boey. What is it like up there? i can't wait to meet you someday. "
Prayer: "Dear God,
Please keep the Byer family strong and one. Comfort them when they feel they have no control. Show them the lighted pathway that will lead them out of the tunnels they fall into every now and then. Remind them that Boey (your angel) is still with them, she is just unseen. My personal belief is the things you don't see are the most believeable. I also agree that seeing is believing. In your name i praise, Amen."
&harts;♥&harts;♥&harts;♥&harts;♥&harts;♥&harts;♥

So i am just going to add mroe to what i posted earlier today, Um, as of now i am over @ my nonni's house (My grandma) and i am sleeping over. Her computer is sooooooo awesome. it has windows vista, even i don't have that... lol. i like it. Tonight we watched a movie called "Georgia Rule" it was very different than i thought it would be, overall it was a good movie even with all the messed up things that were happening. it was rated R. wow- thats a big wow for me lol, i like never watch those kind of movies. it was okay with my mom though because one night we wanted to watch that movie but our dish ( i recomend not getting dish, i personally don't like it) would not let us see the movie. Bummer huh? so i finally got a chance to watch it. Today i had another 1st i went to IKEA, pretty cool place. its like never ending though. I think i would have enjoyed it more if there were less people. It was majorly crowded. But i only think it was because christmas was a few days ago... and people have money and gift cards to spend. Tomorrow nonni and I are going to sew my PJ's we have been meaniong t sew for the past months and hem a pair of pants. I was going to go to a blazer game with dad tomorrow, but i don't know if he got the tickets yet... he was not feeling that well. We all seem like a run down train. (First thing that came to mind) Plus the weather is sooooooooooo nasty. yuckie, i do not like the rain. That is why i need to live somewhere warm. I figured going to college some place warm will be nice. Well i should get off the computer, i did not bring my glasses either and its not good for my eyes, lol. so, thats all folks! TTFN- ta ta for now.
GOODNIGHT!
Love,
Amanda Panda

1 day till christmas eve 2 more days till CHRISTMAS
Last night i went to a christmas party, it was fun, it was with our family... we took my noni also. we did a white elephant exchange, that was fun because i got to open up early christmas gifts, i got a James Taylor Christmas CD and a small piece of organic Dark choc., A $10 gift card to blockbuster and a $20 gift card to Freddys (Fred meyers). yeah thats all... oh wait i got SOCKS!!! yes!!!!!!!!!!!! i love thm, i am wearing them right now, i got 2 very warm and fuzzy ones and just a normal pair of socks that have grips on the bottom of them. after that we (steven and I) watched REMEMBER THE TITIANS, very very very good movie, i recomend all of you to see it.
THIS MORNING, i woke up ( for the past 2 days i have woken up diagnol in my bed, lol....) i got ready to go to chuch, it was a christmas service, and then went to SUBWAY for lunch and now i am home. : ) Later tonight i get to go to nadenov ( a gymnastics place) and try to tumble i guess and have fun with some other cheer girls. I am having a pretty good week, i am happy i get 2 weekes off from school.
OH YEAH! so yesterday i took my 3rd drive for drivers ED ( highway and country driving) country is not that bad, the highway, i can't believe i did it. Its not that bad once you get going. i have never been past 40mph so it was a little adjustment.... :p so yeah i was proud of myself, i am really good at keeping my cool when it co0mes to stuff like that. Like last year the day we got out of school for christmas break i was comming home w/ my sisters sister (lol, Emily my friend, sarah is her older sister, she is also my friend) and she was not paying attention and she took her foot off the break and we started to roll foward, and i looked out the dash bord and was thinking in my head, okay....we moving? sarah had no idea, then emily and i looked at each other and were like "SARAH!" so we rear-ended this car, I was scared yet i did not cry ( i kinda wanted too) but i kept myself together, which i guess is good to have a strong holding at a early age, you never know what will come of you or anyone else. YOu always have to be ready for the un expected. okay............... i can never wrtie a short blog, well this is good for me.... i will write more later if i feel like it.
This picture was last year, it snowed, its snowed a little this year too, but not enough to stick. : (
Love ya,

Amanda

Christmas/Cheer Information
(okay, few, got that out of my system. lol, its almost here. I love the holidays! MERRY EARLY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!)
Cheer Pract Today:(12/20/07)
I tried 2 new stunts, i am the flyer, and i did a twist up, which is where i stand on the opposite side everyone else does and then i turn 180 degrees and i end up right where i would normally be in a prep.
Another stunt i did was ummmm, you go up in a normal prep. and then i put all my weight onto my right foot and pulled my left foot up by my knee. ( its like balancing on one foot) after i was stable i hitched ( put my toe on this other girls leg, who was in a stunt that was smaller in mine that was infront of me.) It was a pyramid so we are not allowed to put any weight on the other flyers, otherwise its illegal.
-I am guessing i ma confusing you all with these terms, and its mroe a visual thing, This girl on my team, Carley, took a picture of what it looked like, so maybe i can get it form her and then piost it, only in the picture i am not smiling, i look silly. But i would rather look silly then not be stable so yeah. As much as i did not want to pract. It was good.
Like, yesterday i think, i had my first competition pract. we learned 4 eight counts of the dance it was cute. A while ago when i was still @ VCA i was close to my round-off back-handspring, but then i lost it because i have not tumbled since. And coach asked me "well do you think you can get it?" and i said maybe.... i honestly don't know if we have the money for me to do something extra like that.... so yeah. There is tumbling @ Nadeonov every weekend for $7 so i could work on it then, but the onl hard thing is that in High School Cheer its hard to tumble on a non spring floor, honestly my coach knows nothing about cheer. shes never cheered before.
WOW- i have rampaged (sorry em' i think i used your word, lol. I like it. *Tee-hee*)
Well on a different subject my dad brought me up a yummmmmmmy cookie.,
He asked me if i wanted milk but i said no. WHAT WAS I THINKING. i neeeeeeeeeeed waaaaaaaaaaateeeeeeeer lol. oh wait i mean milllllllllllllllllllllllk. i thought i had my wa-wa up with me.Yesterday our whole choir ( A Capella) went to ALKI ( The middle School) and sang the whole day for the classes. idk what my point was for telling you that. anyways........ i'll be right back.
*MILK BREAK*
Okay, i remmebered what i was going to say, in choir this whole week we have been doing Secret santa. It's been fun, but i keep forgetting.... so i am having my mom get something for her tonight.
I am excited i might get to see Morgan and Maddy christmas Break they come down every year to see their mom in seattle. So yeah. its nice, they have friends here too. Burrrrrrrr its cold inside.
What are you all doing for christmas? i am just staying home. Do you have a christmas tree yet? I think this year is like the first out of like years we have taken a family picture.
I talked to my cousin Holly the other day. It was so nice. I miss her, i have a baby cousin names Maile (miley- american way. Maile-Hawaiian way. lol )
I LOVE THIS SONG: Love Song- Sarah Bareilles
Heres a pic. that really had to do with nothing w/ all my subjects i talked about but i love this.
It was last time my Auntie Yolie (lives in Hawaii, shes a flight attendant, so we only get to see her for a couple of hours but its nice) and it was @ Beaches with my momma. I loved my hair that day, its like scrunched. I did that recently, it looked decent, i am not used to seeing it that way. Sometimes if i don't feel like doing anything to my hair it will naturally dry curly, its either cute or all over the place. I am sooooooooooooooooooooo tired, i am making a cd for my secret santa, while its burning i am going to brush my teeth then got to bed. I love you gues.Emily- Have a great christmas, hopefully we can talk, are you going anywhere? let me know so i can call ya! Maybe on christmas we can show each other what we got. that would be fun.....
XOXOXOXOXO
Love Always,
Amanda Panda Mandy Moo! lol. "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOODNIGHT"-Santa Claus

BOOM!
At this moment there is not much to say.
I stayed home from school today just because i
had like a bad feeling thats hard to discribe. Well
One, i am getting sick. There is something going around.
Two:(This might be hard to understand, its an emotion that is almost un-explainable)
Last night i told my mom i was freaking out becaue sometimes i don't feel real. I don't understand how i can physically walk, see, hear and do all kinds of things. Like i went for a run last night and i decided to go a different way and as i was running i just wanted to cry, ( i did not) i pushed through and kept running. I don't get that way very often its just every now and then i do. So i cried last night talking to my mom about it and we both decided we wanted to find someone that can help me not feel that way when i do. And i need to be more happy with myself because i love to please others and do thigns for them. So i think for that matter and pleasing myself i want to start up piano again, i have not done it since the end of the last school year. I miss it.
A little earlier yesterdya i went to this place called Cyramics By You and i painted a piggy bank for my new baby cousin who is going to be one year old. It was fun. I realized ho much a life art. I enjoyed painting. I also life photography,dancing(even though thats not art i still like it), poetry and way way more. So mu Uncle he does these realy cool paintings ( he is a awesome artist) and what he does is he puts a dab of paint on a canvas ( wood like) and he takes like a paint chizel and spreads it arond. Then he mixes different colors in with all kinds of ways it so cool. he said normally when he starts he has not idea what he will come out with!
Ummm, lets see, what else. OH YEAH! THANKSGIVING.
THANKSGIVING was fun. i enjoyed all the yummy food. and what was even better the next day is that we got to have Turkey enchiladas. WOW those were yummy. It was weird not having my grandpa here with us. ( he passed away this year,) but we made the best of it and we had a good time it was just the 4 of us my grandma (nonni) and my uncle (tim). Food is good.
On the day after thanksgiving there are HUGE EARLY SALES everywhere, we did nto want to go to any sale. none of them had stuff we had to have. We went to fred myers and then picked up kendall. We had fun hanging out. and then later that night Danica came over, we have a lot of fun together. She is in 9th grade. ( i am in 10th). We were being silly, theres nothing to explain without pictures. well i could it just would not make sense.
I wrote another poem the other night. i titled it "The Secret of Life" once i type it i will add it on here. Someday i want to publish my own book of all my poems. Which would be like over 150 i am guessing.
Emily i looked on your blog and went to that freerice.com its fun i am still doing it right now only i am stuck on on... Here it is
Over Power:
Subdue
create
Decieve
Go Near
I asked my mom and she did not know, for one thing its not an obvious one. my guess is go near just becaue its the odd one out. let me go check..... I was WRONG it meant SUBDUE. i havedonated 180 grains of rice. Mom mentioned it would not be fun to be the person to count all thosee grains of rice.
A couple if weeks ago i went over to my papas house ( he's my uncle) and for the longest time he wanted me to watch a movie with him and i never had time so funally on day i did it. It was a good movie. I love him. hes funny. Annie grannie ( my aunt, his wife) got us burgerville for dinner I had a bacon cheese burger and i forgot to tell her i liked the Jr. size because its a decent size. Well i sure got my share of a burger it was HUGE!!!!!!! and then with that we had fries and she made us a milkshake. It was cool we got to eat dinner while watching T.V. ( they had tv dinner trays). I don't think i have ever ate that much in my life. I think this is good enough for now i am going to stop and get some lunch. YUMMY! bye!
Love Always,
Amanda

No exciting info+ me being bored+Pictures=a blog that has not title for itself! *(Tee-Hee)*
*Yeah i really have no thoughts in my head right now. If you were to look at my brain there would be a monkey just sitting there eating a banana with no life.....
* I finished Drivers ED! When i took my final the first time i did not pass. I missed 23 and we were only allowed to miss 20. so i took it like a week later and studied for it and i passed only missing 18. I think. I learned that we can also take our written state test 2 months before we turn 16 so on the day we turn 16 we can get our license!! THinking about that drive kinda makes me nervous.
*OOOOOOOO GOOD NEWS! I went to my TMJ appt. yesterday and i will NOT need physical therapy! YAY! GO ME! the first time i had a appt. i could open my jaw to 40. yesterday i opened it to 47! ( IDK what it is measured in) so i think he said i could get top braces and still have my splint in.
I think i am going to load some pictures on my computer and post some later. How does that sound? Well i will talk to ya'll soon. lol.
Emily- If you read this later would you want to talk on IM tonight? Or if you like you could call me. I don't know if i am allowed to call you. I don't know if i used my minutes this month or not....? um, yeah. Hope you day is going well. RIght now its 4:08 AM your time. so i will deff. not call you then. I hope you get this today. That would be cool. If you did IM me and i did not respond i am probally downstairs veggin(V-edge-ing) at the T.V. so yeah. Or i would be at office depot buying a mic. I am still in my PJ's. haha.
LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
Amanda Elizabeth Howsley
OKay so i said i would add more later and now i am. It is 2:38 right now. One thing i did the other day was straighten my broth
ers hair. He's funny. When he was little he always wanted me to paint his nails. What would i do without him?<----------------------------Heres a picture: *So how is everybody? OMG i saw the coolest and cutest sign by this neighborhood my uncle used to live in. This is what the Stop Sign read
. ITs so AMAZINGLY true. lol. and then we saw
a blue harron. Pretty sweet huh?I wish i could just post the pictures whereever i wanted them, It gives you the choices of center, left, right, or none. I am guessing i could do none but idk....

Me at Color WAR! If you diddint guess my color is orange: That is Kendall and ME in the stands of our gym. Heres a picture of my and my neighbors kitty, he's so adorable. His name is Lincon
(i don't know how they spell it though)
Me and my brother when we were little:Awwww were as cute as a button.lol.Here is a picture of me with my choir jwelry. Adn no my ears are not pierced, they are clip on, but those earings really hurt. i have never had clip on earings hurt that bad before. If i touch my
ear lobe it still aches a little. And my concert was a while ago.... Here is my School picture.
I love it. Its not the best lighting on it but at least you can see it....Well is that a overload or what? Well i gotta go take a shower....
Luv ya
Amanda panda mandy moo.

Heres a picture of the Justin Timberlake Tour Bus: That was the greatest concert ever! I did not remeber if i blogged about that or not so i put it in. Some of these are all really pointless pictures, now you can understand how bored and tired i am, lol. i am goign to go and watch some T.V. plus get something healthy to eat so i get better soon.Earlier before i went to take a nap( i did not want to i can't stand feeling like a blob and not being able to do anything, not like i really do anything very often....i am very low key. but she said that we would have fun tonight and that there is some kind of surprise either tongnight or tomorrow. i can't figure it out. that annoys me too when someone says its a surprise before the surprise comes. i like the surprise to be the moment. that is when its a true surprise......lol i don't knwo what i am saying. ttyl. bye bye!
