Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 3

 

WOO!!!  You know what ROCKS?!  ROLLER COASTERS!!!  One by one I am vanquishing this fear of heights I have.  I found out today that roller coasters LOOK a lot scarier than they actually FEEL.  So this time we all went to the Island of Adventure theme park which included places like Marvel Town, Jurassic Park, and Harry Potter Ville.  I don't think my body can take much more awesomeness.
In the Harry Potter place I finally got my first taste of butter-beer.  It's incredibly sweet. O.o  Tait got an orange and red Griffendor scarf that totally fits his fashion sense. XD  There were a few rides to go on; most memorably being the first roller coaster I've ever been on that flips upside down.
Me before the ride: "Taitwhy'dyoumakemedothisIhateyouIcan'tbelieveI'mactuallyonherewhyamIon her...AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" *insert terrified facial expressions*
Me after the ride: *total swagger walk* "That's right.  I braved the roller coaster and SURVIVED.  Be jealous." *puts on sunglasses*
Needless to say, when we walked over to the Marvel area and I saw the Hulk coaster, I stared at it with mixed feelings of growing apprehension and shaky self-confidence.

After riding it, I couldn't stop. ;)  I can't wait to see what other roller coasters I've been missing out on. :D

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 2

Whew!  This day was hectic! *throws self on bed in disarray*  Nearly all of today was the Gator Park.  Here's a summary!
- Decided that giant turtles would be super cool pets
- Conquered my fear of heights by racing 40 ft. over man eating crocs on a zip-line.  (I think I'm addicted now)
- Sat on an alligator and pretended I had bested it
- Ended up beet red instead of a Greek godly tan I was hoping for. >.>

Something I learned today: When there is no schoolwork, no peer pressure, and no one else I know but my family; I can get to be pretty darn immature. O.o  I'm serious!  Take a five year old boy and put him in a seventeen year olds body.  Yeah.  Scary.

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Day 1

Aaaannnnndddd we're back folks!
Well Florida has definitely proven itself as tan worthy. ;)  Today was my first full day under the Florida sun!  Really all we did today was go to church and the pool not seven steps from our front door, but that in and of itself was heavenly. *contented sigh*  Our resort is GORGEOUS.  It has multiple pools, a lake, green grass, trees, birds, squirrels, and best of all...no mosquitoes. *fistpump*  Tomorrow we're off to Gator Land!  Maybe I'll get some picts of me wrestling a crocodile. ;)

Super Amazing Vacation of Awesomeness: Prelude

*whew!*  School's over, homework's finished, Winter's done, and SUMMER'S HERE! :D  And 'I' in particular have a lot to look forward to this summer...

1. Florida
When I first won that free trip and condo to Orlando from Nickelodeon, I was pretty psyched.  Then Landon's duck was drawn in the I-Did-A-Duck (it's an Alaskan thing; don't try to understand) for a free resort in the same place, our family knew that this wasn't going to be a trip easily forgotten.  "What is there to do in a humid scorchingly hot place like that?" you may ask.  Well nothing other than Disney World, Sea World, Harry Potter Land, Gator Land, and a beach whose temperature doesn't max out at 60 degrees!  I am SO ready for a tan. ;D

2. Colorado
Cousins, here I come!  I always love heading over to my cousins though unfortunately it's not as often as I'd like. :/  However, when I do visit, I can't help but have fun. :D  They just know me so well!  They have so many of my interests!  They're hilarious!  It's no wonder we're related!  And I really can't wait to see what Cameron has done with his newfound freedom around girls at age 16. ;)

3. Utah
*waltzing around*  Here I hopefully have the chance to take some new ballroom dance classes with BYU.  Hopefully they'll still accept my applications! *crosses fingers*  But even if they don't, it's fine.  Because there are where a ton of my friends reside!  From old Utah buddies I haven't seen in years to buddies from Alaska (Sabrina and Thomas) this will be the hangout state of my 17 years of living. ;)  I might even get a job at the most delicious fry making shop I have ever been to...the Creamery on 9th. :D (yeah, that's it's actually name! pretty spiffy right?)

And there we go!  With the beginning of Summer already underway, I am TOTALLY ready for this to begin!

Embarrassing Pictures

I'm sure sometime in your life you've experienced an embarrassing picture. *sympathetic pat on shoulder*  Don't worry; we all have.  But what strikes me as ironic is what exactly we consider "socially acceptable" and what we don't.  Okay, so what if a lock of your hair was sticking straight up during a group friend shot?  But apparently to some people, this is a sin.  Anything unplanned in a picture is immediately shot down and deleted with hast. However THAT'S the key word!  "Unplanned."  It doesn't matter if it looks halfway decent or not; if it's unplanned, it's shunned. 
What about duck lips?

In what way is THIS attractive?  It's not, but since it was planned, since the girl specifically made duck lips at the camera, she's okay with it being posted on Facebook or Tweeter.  Most definitely this sort of picture is a cry for attention.  "Hey!  Look at me and my ridiculous lips!"  Irony at it's finest. *shakes head in dismay*

And while we're on that thought, here's some results of me being bored and finding the picture taking program on our computer.

Day by Day Confessions

 March 7, 2013

Okay.  So I tried.  And I failed.  I can see why keeping a blog like this is so hard! *headdesk*  Anyhoo, now what you may ask?  Well, I'm not going to stop these posts completely!  I still find it a good idea to keep some sort of journal about my day, however this time it's going to be severely reduced.  Sometimes I may write paragraphs about the great time I had that day and others I might just type a sentence or two.  This time it's all going to be according to what *I* feel like doing!  Deal with it. ;)

However, what have I been doing for this past month?  Well let me summarize...
-Turned 17 (WOOT!!)
-Performed a dance to "Everybody Talks" in front of an adoring audience. (*double fistpump*)
-Wasn't able to try out for the soccer team because my physical expired the day of tryouts. (*throws pillow at wall*)
-Watched Jane Austin's "Emma." (Really quite good.  I suggest it to you all.)
-Went to prom. (Black and maroon actually look quite good on me. ;)

And there you go!  My past month in a nutshell.
