Vacationing

Hi, everyone!!
Well, I'm here, in Iowa. I'll be here for about two and a half weeks. We arrived yesterday.

So far, we've gone shopping, and visited my grandpa's grave. I also hung out with my old friends, Jayla, Kaci, and Marcel for a while. It was fun.

Later, I'm going to stay with my older sister for a few days. I'm soo excited!

My grandma's house kinda scares me, it's so old, I worry that there's going to be a fire from the out-of-date electrical wiring. The house was built in 1956, and no renovations have been made since. Not that I'm complaining, it's a nice house, but it just needs to be fixed up, which I did. I took a screwdriver to the doors, which don't sit or close right.

Right now, we're just relaxing. But I can't wait to get this vacation started. I'm so bored... I really want to get some hardware for the doors. Some still don't work right...

Oh, yeah. I'm on my mom's laptop, because grannie doesn't have a computer, which means she has no internet, so we're stealing internet from a neighbor that has a wireless router. It' slow, but it works.

Well, I'm going to go. I'll keep writing, if I remember. Maybe if I get bored enough... :)

EVIL. SHE IS PURE EVIL.

So, I have siblings. Five, to be exact. But all of them are civil humaniods. Well, all but one.
There's Annie, Bennie, Clinton. Jackie, me, Rylea, and Joe. But it's Rylea. Rylea who is pure evil.

Like last night. I have a sunburn that covers my body. Including my face. So I make one of my usual funny remarks, and she SLAPPED ME. Not just a little tap, but a full-on SLAP. You could hear it, and even Joe flinched. And guess who got into trouble?? -->ME<--

And now. We JUST WATCHED Camp Rock. And guess what we have to watch again?? That's right! CAMP ROCK. Hiphip hooray. I'm missing my FAVORITE show, House.

And so if anyone thinks they have a rival sibling, BRING IT ON!! My sister will kick the evil child's ass! They'll run away crying. My sister has made my boyfriends cry.

Acceptance

In my last post, I forgot THE MOST IMPORTANT UPDATE!!! GAA! I can't figure out how I forgot it! It's HUGE!! SPECTACULAR!! UNBELIEVEABLE! AANNDDD HERE IT IS!

Gage's mom showed me his baby pictures!!! In the world of women, this is the BEST news in the world. It means the mother has accepted the girlfriend. I'm SOOO HAPPY!!!

For a looong time, I was terrified that she didn't accept me, didn't like me. I tried really hard to impress her. And I did! I'm now okay to date her son! Yay!

Long time, No see.. Or hear, or speak, or read... :P

Sorry, my loyal fans... I've been "busy" :D...
Well, about a week ago, I got my Driver's Permit... YAY ME!!!
Gage and I are going strong, we celebrated our two-month today, even though it's tomorrow... He gave me the most beautiful bracelet. It's silver, with two frog charms, a laptop charm, one that says Flip Flop, a telephone, one that says Angel, and flipflops. It's so shiny :D, and it tinkles when I move my wrist. I love it!
Rylea and I are on our periods, so it's quiet. We both get nicer on PMS, which we find weird.
Sammie's gotten HUGE, and a bigger nuisance than ever.
I've beat my first game, like totally beat it. Finished all the levels. I've never done that before. It was my first time...
I'm now on Myyearbook, in case anyone wants to check me out, I'm www.myyearbook.com/froggoddess . Of course. I AM froggoddess...!
Gage took me on a date last week, as well. We went to see You Don't Mess With the Zohan. We were planning to see Kung Fu Panda, as well, but our ride came about 2 hours early... Grr. So we're seeing it on Saturday.

Prom Pics are in!!! Here's a few of them:

Well, that's about it. For now. See you on the Phlip Syde!

Pay-like-cable internet

So, my completely and totally informed friend has found me something to write about, again.
The Internet providers we all know and pay too much, are deciding that we still don't pay enough, and are going to raise our bill-- but not in a way that we can fight about once it happens.

Here's some more info:

http://ipower.ning.com/netneutrality

You know how like, on your TV bill (for those with more than basic), you buy packages of certain channels? That's how they're going to make the Internet. In packages. As if we, the people, don't have enough on our plates to worry about.

For instance, the price of gas. About a week ago, my mom and I were driving (not casually, mind you), and we saw--get this-- a gallon of gas for $3.58. Yes. The city's LOWEST gas price! And the line was nearly a mile long. We, needless to say, could not wait that long, even for that price. So we ended up paying $.20 more.

The price of food. With rising gas prices, everything that has to be shipped has gone up. Soon it will be cheaper to eat at Olive Garden than eating at your own house!

Worldly issues. Like, how the hell are we supposed to help China? They're clear across the world, and we are having tornado issues. If we keep helping the world, and not ourselves, then we're going to become a third-world country, ourselves.

Mexicans. I still don't feel all-too-kindly about them. I, an able-bodied U.S. citizen, cannot find a job to save my life. Illegal immigrants, on the other hand, could find a job if they were missing their other hand! and if they were 156 years old, with a cinderblock for a left foot. Americans can't find a job if we tried, which I don't. I've given up. There's no way to beat those bastards.

My little sister. My world is constantly in danger.

The '08 election. NONE of the freakin' candidates are capable of making this world a better country. I don't think anyone could. Unless we could reincarnate George Washington, or Abe Lincoln, or any of the other great prez's. Which won't be able to happen for another BILLION years. If we last that long.

My Vietnam Project!

I MADE THIS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Isn't that soo cool?? It's about the Vietnam War. It's even on YouTube! http://youtube.com/watch?v=LCS-0xuUgco

...I think... I have a stalker...

So. I just got the wierdest phone call of my life. Two dudes (I think) had been using helium, and blocked the call on my caller ID, so I couldn't figure out who it was. They told me that someone in my third period (Algebra) liked me, and that they were also in my third period. They said their name was Joey. I don't know any Joe-y's, besides my little brother. I know one Joe, though.
They said they got my # from a friend, but wouldn't tell me who. They also said they'd "see me later on tonight." Okay. That is totally creepy. I'm scared. Like, they could be watching my house right now. And Gage isn't answering either of his phones... :(( I'm scared....


NOTE (6/1): This creepy-ass person is named Sarah Smith. It's a chick. Somehow, she's gotten a hold of my email. *Twilight Zone Theme Song Plays* I don't even think I know a Sarah Smith! But, lo and behold, Rylea does. *sigh* yeah.

Sorry

I know, lately I haven't been putting up the Icons and stuff. But this will soon change. Like, right now.

So, that level I was bitching about? I finally beat it. Now I'm on another level. Grr. Why can't I be like some insane video gamer that can beat any game in a matter of hours. Though if I beat it by the end of tomorrow, it'll only have taken me three days...

Woo random colors! So, I've been talking online a bit today, and I think I may be scarred for the rest of my life... Thank you, Lucas.

This post is just going to be randomness.

Like, I have a coupon here for a Free PINK undie at Victoria's Secret... cool. I wanna go, but I never go to Vickie's Secret.
What is Victoria's Secret?? She is really in actuality a he. Or at least that's what I've heard.

Okay. So I have a few Hollywood Secrets, as well. Like, everyone knows the Titanic theme song by Seline Dion? Well, the song they used in the movie was actually shot in the vehicle on the way to the studio. Yeah!! She was late getting to the studio, and they were recording it. Then they got to the studio, and recorded it again. Well, they liked the one from the ride over better, so that's the one in the movie! Crazy, right?
And then there's the horse from the Wizard of Oz. You know the one, no one can forget it. The one that changed colors? Well. It was originally meant to be blue, and instead of just dyeing the horse blue, they decided to use Jell-O. Well, the horse apparently really liked Jell-O, and kept licking it off. Eventually, they ran out of blue, and had to switch colors. Thus, the color-changing horse.

On Prom night, as I have told you, I fell asleep in my boyfriend's arms, and he was watching me sleep. We're talking about it, and he's describing what it was like. Here are some excerpts:
Makenna: what did I look like?
Gage: when a baby sleeps in its new home
Gage: you just can't take your eyes off of it
Gage: you looked like when you sit on top of a perfect hill and you watch as the sun rises over the horizon, lighting everything that is beautiful
Gage: you look like Oscar when he's sleep in his blanket on the couch
(note: Oscar is his baby miniature wiener-dog, who is absolutely adorable)
And he says he can't write! This is pure poetry! And it's soo romantic, too.
See why I REALLY like him?

The Day I Almost Died, and Another Level Obsession

I almost died this past Monday. Like, seriously. Dead. There was an ambulance and everything. No jokes. I promise.
I was an idiot. And I know it.
It's Monday waaaaay after school, and my friend and I are stranded at the school after a D&D game. My mom and friends with cars can't pick us up, my dad has only enough room for one in his car, and there is NO WAY I'm going to even consider letting my friend, who has saved my life many uncountable times in D&D, walk the (what I thought was about half a mile, but turned out to be more like three) desert alone. We live in VEGAS. We broke records on Monday. It was 109* IN THE SHADE. We both had water. We were together. We'd be fine.
Or so I thought.
I was wrong.
So we start walking, and because of the heat and everything, I figured we'd stop and take breaks. Once again, I was wrong. My friend kept pushing on. HE was in GREAT physical condition. I'm not. We hit ravines. Not like little hills, but RAVINES. CANYONS. Small canyons, but a couple went at least 15 feet deep.
We keep going. Pressing onward.
(May I make another "I'm an IDIOT" comment?)
So, about 250 yards away from civilization, I collapse. Faint. Black out. Lose consciousness. Take your pic. My friend (we'll call him B, because that's sooooo much shorter to write), starts freaking out, if I remember right. I wake, and dial 911 for him. I don't remember much afterwards...
Then, there was this reeeealy cute EMT. He had the emo hair, and a round-ish face. Really cute, black hair with an under-layer of blond, and blue eyes (I don't know why I can remember these things B had my phone, so I never got a pic...).
My parents show up, and take me and B home.
This is after they lay me down in ice packs and poured water over everything but my mouth, which I thought was the driest and hottest place on Earth. And possibly Mars. But they poured so much water on me, had I been wearing white, I would have won a wet T-shirt contest.
I got home, and for the rest of the next week, I've been having hot-and-cold flashes. I'll go from living in a freezer in the North Pole, to living in Saudi Arabia in a bakeshop.


Okay. Now to answer the annoying question in the back of your mind about the second half of my title. I am playing another game. And I'm pretty far, too. And, you guessed it. I can't beat this level I'm on. I have been playing this level ALL F&#*ING DAY. Okay, fine. Since about 2:30. I beat all the levels before it.
To answer the new annoying question. I'm playing Diner Dash. The full version. Because I own it. And if you have played it, then you know how the levels work. I'm on 3-4. And it's f&#* impossible, I tell you! IMPOSSIBLE!!

I would like to congratulate my lil sis, Rylea. She won the Wild Cat Award, THE most prestigious award handed out by her school. All of her teachers voted her "best student in the school." I'm not shocked. A 4.3 GPA, Vice Prez of the student body, and most popular, well, at least, known.
EVERYONE in that school knows her name! And? She has an all-access pass! She can get ONTO THE SCHOOL ROOF IF SHE WANTED. That's freaking crazy!! And even the Principal admits Rylea has just as much power as she does! My sister is almost as powerful as Hitler! Stalin! Cesar! (Actually, that last one fits the best. I'm scared that High School's going to kill her.)

Well, that's the end of this post. Hope for the comments!

Good times. Goooood times.

Once again, my comp crashed. So it took a slight vacation to my Uncle Kurt's house. There, it got an internal scrubbing. My uncle found a total of over 2000(!) viruses. In my computer. My baby was really sick. But she's better now.

Okay. So. LOTS have happened this past... however long ago it was that I wrote.

Let's start with Thursday, shall we?

So. On Thursday, Right after I wrote what happened, I tried on my prom dress just to make sure. Well, it's a good thing I did. I busted the zipper. So, Friday, mom and I took my dress in to the shop. They took out the zipper, and then took out a side. We went to Kmart after that, and my mom bought me a corset, so I wouldn't be able to expand once I got it on.

Saturday. Prom Night.

Wow. Lots happened. I woke up, and called Gage, making sure he was up and moving, like I do every weekend. He was, which I took to be a good sign.

We went to get my hair done at 11, at a wonderful shop at Ann and Simmonds. The lady that did my hair was a little Asian named Jade. She was really cool.

After we got my hair done, we went to pick up my dress. It was ready.

We got home at around 2. Gage wouldn't be there for another 2 hours. Which meant I had to clean. His mom is a neat freak...

So I cleaned the living room with my mom's help. Or vice versa...

Then I had to go play with my makeup, which, might I add, was amazing. Took me FOREVER, though.

Gage was at my door at 4:08 with our friend Mason after that. Mom called for me, and I walked out of her room. I felt like a princess. We took THOUSANDS of pictures. Or at least, it felt like it.

The corsage was perfect. Gage picked it all out himself. White orchids with silver ribbon and wire with white crystal stones. Like I said, perfect.

We got to Olive Garden and waited for the rest of our party. There were 11 others coming. I think we gave the waitresses hell, with all our separate checks.

We FINALLY got to the prom. We were some of the first there, and got our pictures done.

My friends and I were the first on the dance floor.

Gage danced with me. I felt soo special because Gage is self-conscience of himself, and doesn't like to dance in front of other people.

Right before we left, I almost fainted. My corset was cutting off the circulation to my brain, and I wasn't getting enough oxygen. My friend had to drag me to the bathroom and take it off. (thanks Dani!!)

We left at about 9:30 to go to another friend's house (thanks Chelsea!) and watch a movie (Sweeny Todd). I don't think anyone was really paying attention. Well, I don't know... I was either asleep in Gage's lap, or kissing Gage... ;)

We left at about 12:30 to go home. I fell asleep at about 1:00.


That's a lot, so I'll pause here. If you want to hear about Sunday and Monday, then I'll write later.
