Texting

It seems like my generation has become obsessed with texting. No one talks anymore. My sister cannot even go 10 minutes without texting someone. I know all of the texting language, but I don't text very often. I just call my friends on the phone! To prove my point, my mom was looking over the phone bills. We have unlimited texting, but she just wanted to see how much my sister and I had texted. It turns out my sister had sent... 3373 texts!!!! That's absolutely crazy. I sent a total of 22 texts. Your probably thinking that you would have to spend all day texting to reach that high a number. Well, my sister texts all day for sure. She also usually texts until about 10 at night, but she sometimes goes longer and texts until 11 or later. The craziest part is that she will be texting tons of people at that time of night. All of her friends are awake at that time and texting! My grandma said that when kids my age are in college we will all be typing our essays will our thumbs. Maybe that's a little extreme, but people do text WAY to much! Why can't kids just, oh I don't know... TALK!!!!! It is seriously annoying when instead of just calling me, people send me really long texts and since our phones can only send 160 letters at a time they will have to send me many short texts to have a conversation which actually takes longer than just picking up the phone and calling me! I can't stand it! So, if you are reading this and thinking about texting me, ok, but don't send me a bunch of short texts to tell me a long story!

Chain Emails

About midway through the school year I gave a bunch of my friends my email address, not knowing that they send emails ALL the time. They mostly send me chain emails. Most of the emails are pretty lame, but occasionally I'll get a good one. This is one of those ones that I like:

FAKE FRIENDS VERSUS REAL FRIENDS

FAKE FRIENDS: Never ask for food.

REAL FRIENDS: are the reason you have no food.

FAKE FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. / Mrs.

REAL FRIENDS: Call your parents DAD/MOM

FAKE FRIENDS: have never seen you cry

REAL FRIENDS: cry with you

FAKE FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back

REAL FRIENDS: keep your stuff so long they forget it's yours

FAKE FRIENDS: know a few things about you

REAL FRIENDS: Could write a book about you with direct quotes from you

FAKE FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing

REAL FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds butt that left you

FAKE FRIENDS: Would knock on your front door

REAL FRIENDS: Walk right in and say 'I'M HOME!'!

FAKE FRIENDS: Are for awhile

REAL FRIENDS: Are for life

FAKE FRIENDS: will talk bad to the person who talks bad about you.

REAL FRIENDS: Will knock the person out that talked bad about you

FAKE FRIENDS: Would ignore this

REAL FRIENDS: Will send this to all their real friends and hope to get it back!

If you were killed today, I'm sorry I wouldn't be able to come to your

funeral, because I'd be in jail for killing the person who did it.

Hey There Khalilah

One of my mom's friends, Nathan Crook, left a comment saying that when he went to the blog "Hey There Delilah" was playing and it reminded him of a video on YouTube called "Hey There Khalilah". If you havn't heard "Hey There Delilah", you can listen to it on the music player on the side bar. I looked and the video and thought it was pretty entertaining, so here it is:

Vegetable Garden

A little while ago my family decided that we wanted to grow vegetables. We havn't been able to do this before since we pretty mush just feed the rabbits, birds, and other animals that live around our house. We are still not sure our little project will work, but we built a planter box and planted stuff in there. To make this "easy" project more difficult, all of the stuff we planted is out of season, so we are just hoping that SOMETHING vegetablish will grow. We planted spinach, lettuce, zuccini, carrots, peas, tomatos, and maybe some other stuff that I just don't remember. I don't have any pictures of it yet, but it's pretty much just dirt right now. I'll post some pictures when they at least start growing.

Rubix Cube

I know what your thinking if you read my post from yesterday. How am I posting if I am at Girls' Camp? Well, I didn't want you to get bored so I scheduled some posts to publish while I was gone. Anyways, my post is about Rubix Cubes. Does anyone know how to do a Rubix Cube? I can get one side, but after that I am clueless. If you know an easy or at least sort of easy way to solve a Rubix Cube please comment and let me know!!

Girls' Camp

For church we do something called girls camp which is when all the girls ages 12-18 get to go camp. I'm not 12 yet, but if you are going into 7th grade you still get to go. It's going to be so much fun! we are leaving tomorrow to go up to the beach. We pretty much just hang out and learn about first aid, the outdoors, and other stuff like that. We are going to go horse back riding, swimming, and performing our skits about this year's theme, Life is Swell. I promise I will post pictures when I get back!

Kelsey and Brookelynn

On the 20th, we had my cousins Kelsey (left) and Brookelynn (right) over. Kelsey is three and Brookelynn is turning two in a week. As you can imagine, they did some pretty cute stuff while they were here. The first of these things was when they wanted to perform the song "God Bless America" for us. Just in time, my sister grabbed her camera and started recording it.

After Kelsey was finished singing, we got a second performance from just Brookelynn. She only knew some of the words and kept repeating them over and over, but it was just so cute!


My mom has been saying that we need to figure out a way to keep exercising over the summer, so My sis and I figured that having our cousins over was a pretty fun way to do it. How is this exercise? Well, between whoosh (hold them by their arms and swing them into the air), swing (hold them by their arms and twirl them in a circle), horsey rides (sit them on our backs and walk around on our hands and knees), running around for hide and go seek, hot air balloon (wrap them up in a towel and carry them around in it), and pulling them up and down our long hallway on a towel, I think we got a pretty good work out! Here are a few pictures we took of the day's activities:

This is me and my friend Marcea carrying Brookelynn down the stairs. For some reason, the girls only liked being carried up and down the stairs. (The guy in the background is Jonas, Marcea''s brother.)

This is us holding Brookelynn again. This time she wanted to look out the "window" in her hot air balloon for the picture.
This one is Kelsey, happy to finally get her turn on the balloon. She had been waiting very patiently and watching her sister.
Unlike Brookelynn, Kelsey wouldn't look out the window no matter how many times we asked her to, but the back of her head is pretty cute too. :-)
This is the only picture we got of the towel pull. Kelsey is still trying to get onto the towel. We put them both on the towel and pulled at first, but got tired after about two times, so we made them go one at a time, which they didn't really get until we started pulling when only one was on and the other was left behind. Then they got what we were doing and waited eagerly for their turn.This is me giving a horsey ride to Kelsey.
This one is my sister giving a horsey ride to Brookelynn.

This one's me and Marcea giving Brookelynn another Hot Air Balloon ride.
They are SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Fathers' Day!

Dear Dad,
Thanks for being such an awesome dad. Considering I turned out so fabulous and awesome (and humble) I guess you did a pretty great job. I can't imagine life with any other dad than you. I hope you enjoy your special holiday!
Love,
Sierra

GIANT Pumpkin

Yesterday I got seeds for a GIANT pumpkin. They grow a pumpkin that is 400 pounds!!!! That is ridiculous! What do you do with a pumpkin that big? If it is big enough by Halloween I want to put it at the top of the driveway, although it will have to grow pretty fast to be 400 pounds by then. That's over a pound of pumpkin a day. I'll be sure to keep you updated on the progress of this monster of a pumpkin.

Summer!!!!!

School finally ended yesterday and today was my first day that I got to sleep in! That's pretty much the thing I look forward to most about summer although the fact that there is no homework is pretty nice too. The point is that since there is no more school I will have more free time. Since I like math, here is my equation: no homework + no school= more time to blog. In other words, I can get back to blogging. I promise I will try to blog more than I usually do (which should be easy considering I don't usually have time to blog at all) for the next three months.

Bill Gates' Rules for Life

These are Bill Gates' Rules for Life. My favorite is number eleven.

RULE 1
Life is not fair - get used to it.

RULE 2
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world
will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel
good about yourself.

RULE 3
You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out
of high school. You won't be a vice president with
car phone, until you earn both.

RULE 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a
boss. He doesn't have tenure.

RULE 5
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
grandparents had a different word for burger flipping
they
called it Opportunity.

RULE 6
If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so don't
whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

RULE 7
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as
they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,
cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about
how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest
from the parasites of your parent's generation, try
delousing the closet in your own room.


RULE 8
Your school may have done away with winners and losers,
but life has not. In some schools they have abolished
failing grades and they'll give you as many times as
you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the
slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

RULE 9
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get
summers off and very few employers are interested in
helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

RULE 10
Television is NOT real life. In real life people
actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

RULE 11
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for
one.
