Stanky Leg, Depressing Robot Sluts, Mascots

So its been forever since any of us have written in here, and I would rather write this than my paper so I guess I'll just pretend like someone cares or reads this. but I'm probably actually talking to myself. That's embarassing. But I'm doing it right now. It's like one of those things that is never-ending- like apologizing for saying sorry....
So, question of the month- toothpaste: liquid or solid?
I definitely vote liquid. I mean it's in a tube and travels through the narrow top. totally changes shape. anyway, that's one of things we talked about on the car ride to New Orleans. Spring Break '09! Wooo! Other things we did on the van ride- make fun of Brad- we played "this game where you like think of something, like it can be anything, and y-you just guess what it is. like you can only ask yes or no questions, like a certain number of them, like say 20." while playing 20 questions, we just made lots of jokes such as these: Do you use it everyday? no, most people do. Is it your brain? Is it a tool? pause. Is it Brad? everything was followed by "oooohhhh" and then we just decided to not say anything for 30 minutes and all dance in unison. oh and in reference to the title, for some reason, Dallas ozone like really liked the stanky leg. so it was kind of the theme song.
But seriously, the mission trip was freaking awesome. I think we all learned a lot about what it really means to serve and love people. The highlite was for sure the barbecue we had in Hollygrove. We just walked around this crazy neighborhood inviting people to our cookout, and then got to hang out with some awesome people for a couple of hours. It was one of my favorite things ever. I mean at one point, Maggie was having dance offs with everyone, there were like 5 girls braiding tina's hair, we were all having piggyback races, and Connie had 3 precious girls following her around and calling her mom. It was beautiful.
Another thing that blew me away was how friendly, genuine, and all around baller the people in New Orleans were. It just reminded me that we can't judge or ever even really understand other people's situations, but at the same time are not that different.

After the Mission Trip we went to Taylor Swift for Amy's birthday. She flipped her hair about 4,000 times and was extremely sassy. I'm mentioning her because I just stumbled on her blog.... yall should probably check it out.
And just in case she doesn't write on it soon, Julie is trying out for Mascot next week and is going to be the best mascot in the history of Memorial. and vote #10- Linda- for cheerleading!

Peace, love, friendship.

hello and demotivators

hello to the probably one person (most likely me) who reads this blog. It has been a long time since an update, and it is probably because I don't have any awkward, useless, or unnecessary stalking stories to tell you. You see, We have moved on to the status of "hallway hellos" therefore I feel as if it is no longer ok to be completely occupied with my stalking because of the fact that he has a slight idea of who I am and the knowledge of my name. If he were to discover the fact that I was rather stalkerish (which would be quite impossible with my skill) then it would be creepy if he did not have any clue who I was but it would just be insanely awkward if he had a good idea who I am. I must say, it does not seem like that realization would lead to any progress, in fact all communication would most likely be cut off. So I will probably only discuss this again if there is major news, which will probably consist of more importance than the way I interpret the new way that he waved to me in the hallway.

Anyways, I was thinking today about the encouraging posters that teachers have in their classroom..usually about reaching for your dreams and giving effort that typically tend to have some kind of picture relating to an animal or some cool feature from nature..possibly even a shadow. Well, those sayings are rather overly positive, but from the website despair.com comes examples of things called "demotivators"..which although very depressing are also humorous

This one especially relates to something that applies to me at this very moment...

"Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few."

How this relates: so many people (including myself) are entertained by writing down their daily lives, I talk about nothing of any importance that will not benefit the reader in anyway but maybe make them more awkward when associating with members of the opposite sex, and last but not least...nobody reads this blog.

Other Demotivators:

" Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now. "

"Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it."

"It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others. "



"If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style."


"Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else."

"When your best just isn't good enough. "

"It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black."

"For every winner, there are dozens of losers. Odds are you're one of them."

I am sincerely sorry if I just made your day worse. My apologies.

Julie

greatness and 23 awkward situations

ok, so greatest thing of my whole entire life happened today. Well, this part isnt the greatest thing, but its not bad either.. so I was just hanging out at lunch and thought, dang im hungry.. So I went to the vending machine to get a treat..just as I approached it though, guess who else did!! yes, book (code) did. yeah, we had a moment as we were both selecting our snack choices. I mean I got a rice krispie treat, and he got goldfish wich are two pretty compatible snacks, so ill take that as a positive sign. Anyways, thats all to that part but now here is the good part..get ready, its crazy...ok so guess who I met today..I never talk about this person so it could be a trick question..but yeah, its book. I was talking to my friend (we will call her A) in the hallway who recently met him, and he was just strolling by..well A calls out his name and says hi to him and he stops to talk to us..then A introduces me to him and he gives me a fist pound...so magical, im never washing my hand again..I got kind of awkward though and spilled some of the water I was drinking on me which probably wasnt the best first impression..but i dont care!!!! now that I met him we can finally fall in love(well probably not)..but a girl can dream...


awkward situations are the best..and my life, they are quite humorous.

1. walked down the hall and someone you know is really far away but you dont want to make eye contact too soon yet you dont want to miss it so you look at them then look away

2. gone in for a hug and had your arms the wrong way or your heads both go the same direction then you bump heads

3. kept bumping in to someone... they walk right you walk right, they walk left you walk left etc.

4. messed up a high five; theres many ways to do this believe me... high fived it when they went for a pound. high fived someone when they ment to highfive the person BEHIND you and so on.

5. waved to someone when they were waving to someone behind you

6. grabbing someone elses food [i.e. drinking someone elses smoothie...]

7. someone spoke to you in bad english and you just smiled and nodded yes when the question wasnt a yes or no question

8. awkward silences.

9. calling somones name when its not them.

10. calling someones name and they dont hear you so everyone stares at you when you look like your talking to yourself

11. awkward conversations in general

12. stuck talking to someone and you both slowly start walking different ways

13. saying bye and then walking the same way as that person

14. talking really loud when loud music is on and then people turn it down and you say something really loud

15. Walking down the hall and being at the point where you know them but you are not sure if you know them enough to say hi yet, so you dont

16. joining in on a random conversation followed by stares

17. when you're at a restaurant and the waiter says "enjoy your meal" and you say "you too" only realizing later that they aren't going to eat anything

18. told a joke that no one laughed at (or one that only YOU thought was funny)

19. told a story that people respond with "here we go again" or "that was the most worthless story i've ever heard"

20. sang REALLY loud and then someone changes the station or whatnot leaving you singing REALLY loud for a second or two..

21. on facebook you think your writing back to someone but then a day or two later you realize you had written it on your own wall.

22. laugh when you onlook awkward situations and no one else is laughing at the sheer awkwardness making it even more awkward

23.walked into a class late, where your desk is at the other side of the room, and as you're walking to it there's a dead silence where everyone, including the teacher, is eyeballing you

pick up lines and letter boxing

why hello there, its just Julie checking in again, like always. So nothing too exciting, or exciting at all for that matter. Oh, except for that Mallary and Kate came to lunch today (Mallary was the one who truly inspired this blog..happy mallary?) Well the only news that I have is that tomorrow after school Paige and I are going to try to stalk the boy..like legit follow him, so we will see if I make any progress in that area of my life...anyway, while browsing the Internet at 12:04 AM I decided to search for pick-up lines (completely normal) that may possibly be useful when I need to approach a guy, and I came across christian pick up lines..they seem pretty good actually, I might need to store a few in my membrane for future use..


my personal favorites are bolded


-I would like to pray with you.
-You know Jesus? Hey, me too!
-God told me to come talk to you.
-I know a church where we could go and talk.
-How about a hug, sister/brother?
-Do you need help carrying your bible? It looks heavy.
-Oh you are cold, Ecclesiastes 4:11.
-Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?
-What are your plans for tonight? Feel like a bible study?
-I am here for you.
-The word says "Give drink to those who are thirsty, and feed the hungry"; how about dinner?
-You don't have an accountability partner? Me neither.
-You want to come over and watch the 10 commandments tonight?
-Is it a sin that you stole my heart?
-Would you happen to know a Christian man/woman that I could love with all my heart and wait on hand and foot?
-Nice bracelet. What would Jesus date? I mean "do".
-(For the ladies) Excuse me, I believe one of your ribs belongs to me.
-My friend told me to come and meet you, he said that you are a really nice person. I think you know him. Jesus, yeah, that's his name..I plan on using this soon.
-Yeah, I predicted David over Goliath.
-What? Friends listen to Amazing Grace in the dark.







so yes, that was as productive as I managed to be tonight







oh, and also I am pretty excited about letterboxing. Josiah told allie and maddie about letterboxing and we are going to start doing it asap..I researched it(which was another productive thing that I did) and I am ready to begin this quest..


LETTERBOXING is an intriguing pastime combining navigational skills and rubber stamp artistry in a charming "treasure hunt" style outdoor quest. A wide variety of adventures can be found to suit all ages and experience levels.

a letterbox find


well ttyl, lylas-jules

p.s. Mellisa Ramsey is kewl

oh well hey!

Oh well hey there!

So for the past two hours i have been just sitting here crying from watching A Walk to Remember...oh what a movie. And i just took my ADD medicine and i think i took too much because i am kind of shaking and i am really HYPER right now...but anywayzz
like jewls said i brought my videocamera to school today and got some really awesome videos so i think that is a great idea to start filming our adventures. Sadly i dont have any stalker news like some creepers but anyways i gotta go study for my tests, its gonna be a long night so i might be back just to tell a silly joke or something like that.

PeAcE SiStAs

$$<3 HBUTT <3$$

Well im in study hall again today, and I have got some updates..not too exciting, but oh well..

-Im quitting school. seriously, its the worst. 2 1/2 days left

-Hannah and I have decided to start filming day to day life and posting it on the blog. sort of like a reality tv show remix type of thing, good thing our lives are interesting enough for that.

-UPDATE(boyz):

-ok so more things that I know are..

 *he likes chocolate milk 

 *he eats cafeteria food

 *he reads cool books

Not that great of information, but at least I have discovered more things (which might not necessarily be a good thing, in fact, it is just quite creepy)

GUESS WHAT ELSE... well I detected a sort of well sign from god I guess you could say today at lunch...this is what happened.. I was just staring at him, like always, and he looked rather contemplative, then i saw him hold a small piece of paper in front of his face and unfold it and read it, then stow it safely in his pocket of his black zip up hoodie( another popular clothing choice)..well you know what that piece of paper was....a FORTUNE! remember in my post yesterday when I talked about my fortunes..yeah, well this was basically fate. in fact, we probably got the same exact fortune. wow our relationship is growing so fast, can you imagine how quickly it will grow when we actually talk to each other for the first time...well, like they say, a girl can only dream......

                                    Peace, Love, and Friendship, Julie

ps. stalking trip to whole foods asap.. I need to seriously analyze this guy.

jchamp=lyfe

bestieeeeeeeeeeeees. paige here, just being a blogger.
i know all of you jchamp(ers)...minus real sista...from the incomparable place. so that part makes not a fun post. instead i will give you a high and low of the day:

high: lots and lots of fudge being made at my friends house, goodies in my stomach, delightful. duh.

low: got a little bump from the car behind me at a stoplight, but we were too hungry to care, so we didnt pull over. ooops. nbd guys, nbd. we were just victims of a hit and run. kind of.

also, caroline- you should get julie to go to whole foods with you so she can teach you how to properly stalk. maybe jchamp outing to whole foods? maybe i am obsessed with all of you?
