Strange Dreams and Ridiculous Heart Attacks...

Ok, so today had been great. I got to see the beautiful faces of my fellow drama club officers (two of them happen to be some of my best friends) at a drama meeting today from 9:00-12:00. Then I go to Ranchito's (BEST MEXICAN FOOD PLACE EVER! And pretty much the only restaurant in E-town) with some of them. Well after that, I meet up with the girl that's gonna be in charge of the "dancers" on the field in the half-time show because she needed to come up with a routine, and it was a lot of partnering, so she needed my help. So, obviously, this seems like an exhausting day. I finally get home around maybe 3:30-ish? But the sleepiness didn't hit me till waaay later. So I end up falling asleep around 5:30. And I had the weirdest dream.

Ok, so I'm with my youth group, and we're on some kind of mission trip. Well, for some reason, we're staying right down the road from my house (which is pointless, because then we could stay at the church) and the house we're staying in is up for sell (I guess we were staying in it because it'd be empty). Well, anyways, apparently there's been a lot of break-ins, in my little community (it's like the biggest community in the town, but for safety purposes, I'll call it Redneck-town). Well, this particular night, there's a break-in at the house like right across the street or something, and somehow, we know the robber is coming to the house we're staying in because it's empty, so it's kind of a smart idea. So, we FREAK OUT. Imagine like 40 teenagers gathering their crap as fast as they can and getting into the bus. And we have police and all kinds of people at this house. So, we're on the bus, and we're on the way back to the church, and we all feel relieved and junk. And so we're back at the church, and it's time for us to go home, and all of a sudden I remember, that I live right down the road from the house that we just fled from. And I am freaking out inside. But I don't bother to tell anyone, so I'm just gonna go home and get murdered or something. Well I never got to finish it, because my mom woke up, soooo yeah.

So you probably thought that was kind of pointless, but it was funny at the time, and I was just gonna mention it a little, but I couldn't do that without explaining all that crap.

SO ANYWAYS

Let's take the clock to around 10:30-ish. So I'm watching Dance Moms (funniest show EVER) and I realize, I haven't even eaten yet! So I wait till a commercial break to fix my food. One finally comes on, and I put my feet on the floor to get ready to go to the kitchen, and then I see it. Waiting for me was a SPIDER! I HATE********* spiders! I LOVE Spider-man, but I DESPISE spiders. So, I'm FA-REAK OUT! Like, I'm and whisper screaming (my parents were asleep) and jumping up and down, and I am on my bed, then I'm a little calmed down, and the spider moves like a centimeter, and I freak out again! So finally I get up the courage to finally get down, and when I go to put on my flip flop, it crawls in it! So now I'm screaming "GET OUT OF MY SHOE YOU DIRTY LITTLE DEMON!" And luckily, I have my converse in my room, so I slip them on and wait for it to come out of my flip flop to squash. After a few seconds, it crawls out, and it takes me forever to walk up to it. Well this thing is FAST! It crawls away, and then runs up the side of my night stand. I stick my foot up there, and it runs down and goes UNDER it! And now I'm freaking out again, because I'm thinking "GREAT! Now it's just gonna wait under there because I scared it, and it's gonna wait for me to go to sleep so it can crawl in my mouth!" So, I finally decide to relax and sit down in my chair for a few seconds and update my twitter so everyone knows I'm freaking out. Then, I take my eyes off my phone and guess who's staring at me. You guess it. THE SPIDER! So, of course, I freak out, just as much at the first time, I jump on my bed, then I decide, "Ok, just jump right on top of him." So I finally do, and it runs, and I'm freaking out because I'm afraid it'll crawl on me. So I start stomping away! AND IT KEEPS GETTING AWAY FROM ME! And FINALLY! I squished it, but I didn't only squish it, I DESTROYED IT! I showed that spider who the freakin' boss is up in here! And do, I'm like rubbing my foot in it until this thing is in to PIECES just so I know it's dead. And I felt like a true warrior! During that whole stomping seen, I felt like I was in the most intense part of a movie! Oooooh!

Well, that's it for my useless stories tonight! I'll update later for more stories that have no meaning! Byyyyeeeee! :D

"IT'S CORNDOG DAY! IT'S CORNDOG DAY!"

Ok, so I know what your thinking. "Is this fat-lard seriously about to make a whole blog post about eating a corndog?" Hahaha well the answer is no. So you may continue reading.

Anyways, yesterday, I came back from a youth camp with the MOST AMAZING youth group EVER! It was called Global Youth Camp. And I think this camp changed my life! Like, it's so hard to explain the level of awesomeness this camp was on! I am SO glad that I got to go to this place. ESPECIALLY with this wonderful group of people! I've grown like 10X closer to ALL of them in just 4 days thanks to this camp! Everyone told me that this camp was so amazing and so awesome, but NO ONE told me that GALLONS of salt water would be coming out of my eyes! ESPECIALLY during the first night! THAT is where it all started. I come to thins camp thinking "I want to change, but I probably won't and I'll just go home and continue my ways" but that ALL changed once they played the bridge part of "Jesus Paid it All" where it goes "Oh praise the One who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead" and right then and there I completely lost it. Through the whole service I cried and thought about all the CRAP that I've done and how he could still love me even though I've done TERRIBLE things! And so I FINALLY stop crying during the service and pay attention. THEN, worship is over and we leave to go to church time (which is obviosly spending time with your church) and they just pour out AGAIN! Listening to people that you love is ROUGH! Then it happens the next night but not as bad.

Now, I bet you're wondering where the crap the title comes into play. Well, obviously, it was corndog day, and there were too staff members (who happened to be two of the FUNNIEST staff members) that were SUPER excited for it! So, they make this rap, and perform it at the variety show! And since then, our youth group has been singing it NON STOP! Haha we were singing it in McDonald's! I wish you could have seen the employees' faces behind the counter!

But anyways, I'm like really tired and I don't feel like typing anymore, so I'll probably post more later! Bye guys! And happy Independence Day! :D

I Hate Everything.

Ok, so, every stinkin' time I try to change up my blog, I get so frikkin frustrated! I hate EVERY single one of those stupid backgrounds! Well I don't hate ALL of them, they're just not "Jordan's Blog Material". I HATE IT! Ugh! And when I try to search for backgrounds on google, those are sucky too! UGH!

I'm so sorry guys. I know I've been on like a blog frenzy but I just need somewhere to post all of my feelings. Twitter doesn't allow that many characters, and I don't want all of my 700 something friends on facebook to watch me gripe and complain, especially if they don't want to. So I turn to here. This is why you guys read it don't you? Ugh nevermind.

ANOTHER TOPIC THAT I HATE!
Shady people! So there's this one particular "friend" that I could just strangle right now. Like when school was in, she was fine, well I thought she was...now that I think about it, she's been shady for a while. But anyways, she'll meet these people that she barely knows and she thinks they're best friends! And she's been blowing everyone off for these "best friends" now! Doesn't even want to invite her friends from her own school to a party. UGH!

Sorry. I'm just angered with this person right now. Well good-bye all! Thanks for putting up with my problems.

A Couple of Things i've Missed...

Well, in a previous post, I said I was gonna play baritone.....well, that's not happening for many reasons.
1) My heart wasn't in it
2) I didn't want to put anything in front of drama (especially something my heart wasn't in to)
3) The drama club will be doing stuff in the halftime show this year, so I'm gonna do that.
And there's more, but those are my top three. But since I quit,the section leader practically hates me now. So I guess I lost a friend because of it? Oh well. YOLO! She'll get over it...

Another thing I never mentioned...(I don't think)
I am going to be the 2012-2013 Elmore County High School Drama Club and Thespian Society Vice President! :D I'm so excited! I have BIG plans for this year!

I need to start practicing for competition. This year, I decided that everything that I will perform, I'm WRITING! yep, 100% original! Now no one can do the same thing as me, and I can make sure what ever character I play, I'll know exactly how it's supposed to be played!

Now for my summer plans! (I know you're thinking HA!)
But, I actually have a few. 1st, this weekend I'm leaving for church camp with my youth group. I'm not exactly sure what all goes on there, but everyone describes it as AMAZING! So, I'm assuming it'll be good!
2nd, the drama club is hosting a kid's drama camp to help kids with their drama skills and what we make from that will go to
3rd, The week after that, I'll be staying at Troy for a week for a like a drama camp/workshop thingy! So there will be a tremendous opportunity to improve my acting! (It needs work!)

And those are my big ones, but I'mma get off now because I can barely stay awake any longer! (I say that, but I try to get in the bed and BAM! I can't go to sleep for like 2 hours!) Soooo adios amigos! :D

My Bittersweet Movie Theater Adventures!

Ok, so after MANY attempted plans to go see Snow White and the Huntsman, I FINALLY went tonight! Before I describe my movie theater adventure, let me go through the previous attempts I planned to go.

First, friend #1 and I were gonna go. But then she texted me and said that she couldn't go unless someone else drove. So then I asked friend #2, but her car only has 3 tires at the moment. So #1 asked her mom if #2 could drive her car. We never heard a response from her until the next day saying that she couldn't go because she had to babysit. So that leaves #2 and I. So then we ask #3, but turns out she couldn't go. So #2 and I couldn't find a ride so we couldn't go.
Second, another friend (let's call her #4) and I were gonna go. We have everything planned out, then about an hour before it's time to leave, she said that the vehicle she was planning on using, was being used to go fishing. So we re-schedule, and I decide to ask friend #2 if she wants to go with us, but she couldn't and asked if we could go the next day. Friend #4 said we couldn't because her sister's wedding was that day. Well I never technically told #4 that #2 couldn't go. So #4 asks me the next day if she can bring a friend (#5). I said sure, but then later I found out that #4 and #5 are dating now! So I asked #4 if I could invite someone so I won't be third-wheelin' and she said she thought #2 was going. I told her she couldn't, so I finally just settled for being a third wheel. So the day comes to where I can finally see this movie. I am SO excited! I get ready and everything. So finally the time comes to when #4 is supposed to pick me up. I call her, no answer. I get a text from her saying that she just woke up, and she has been throwing up all night. Now, I don't EVER cuss, but at this point I just wanted to say FML! (Excuse my language!)
FINALLY! My mom steps up and is like, I'll take you and a friend if you want me to and she'll just drop us off at the movie theater. It wasn't really my preferred choice of transportation, but I agree. I ask #2 if she wants to go, and she says yes. SO WE FINALLY GO TODAY!

When we get there, everything's going great. We got popcorn, good seats. Well we're waiting for the movie start, and I go to get refills so we'll have plenty for the movie. I'm freaking out because the line is long and I have been DYING to see this movie and I was NOT going to miss a second! So I finally get back to my seat and the previews are still going on, but there's this big black dude sitting beside my seat. And I'm thinking to myself "Keep calm. I don't want to get jumped!" So I sit down, and I wish I never did. This dude STUNK! UUUGGHHGHGHUGHHGUGHH! It was HORRIBLE! And I didn't want to be rude because this is the kind that would take everything personally and would want to kill me. You may think I'm being stereotypical, but I'm not. This was one of them dudes that would do it! So I lean waaay over by #2. Then he's sitting with his legs spread waaaay to appart, so I have no leg room either! So here I am, leaning over the opposite arm of my chair, with my legs all bunched up.

Then the movie starts. I think this would make me relax, but no. Him and his chick start talking! And I just want to scream "SHUTUP!" But I don't. So the whole movie, I am so freakin' uncomfortable.

But on the bright side, the movie is AMAZING! Kristen Stewart was actually pretty good! I think she talks better in a British accent than her normal voice!

BUT, there's about 30 minutes left, and I have to pee like crazy! So, I'm even MORE uncomfortable! I try to straighten up in my seat, but I just couldn't stand being so close to that smell! AND my back starts hurting! But I suck it up!

But, I still think the movie was worth all the plan making AND torturing myself during the movie! :D You should really see it!

Well, peace out home dogs! :D

"The Internet Makes it Far too Easy to Creep on Children" A story of frustrating, creepy, and disturbing views from a blogger.

So, this blog can make you really creeped out. Me fellow blogger friend and I found this out tonight. We were chatting, talking about frustration problems with our blogs (choosing names, backgrounds, themes, and what not) and for some reason we decide to look at our blog stats. Apparently I have had 29 views tonight! Thanks guys! Unless you are creepers.

This brings up my next point. I was looking at how people find my blog. Apparently creepers search in the little search thing for my friend's name. Now she's creeped out. But what's really creepy is that people searched for me as well, but they made it a little too specific how they want to see me! CREEPYYYY! So my friend and i have decided to go into the witness protection program. I probably shouldn't have told you that then? Oh well...YOLO! Anyways, for all of you creepers, PLEASE stop searching for me that way!

But! it's turns out, people are viewing my blog from Europe! Hello Europeans! America says hi! :D

Annnnd, a different subject! I mentioned in my previous post that I have made plans to go to the movies on Saturday. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE STINKIN' MOVIES! I have been wanting to see Snow White and the Huntsman for SO long now, and I never get to go! I was supposed to go today, but plans got cancelled! They've been rescheduled for Friday, but I doubt I'll still get to go. Does the world not want me to see this movie?! UUUGHGUGHGUGHGGHUGH!

But, I think that ends this blog post. Goodnight creepers! -___-

It's really a hard life

So, every normal teenager would be like "OH MY GOD! SCHOOL'S OUT!" Yeeeeahhh...that's not me. Most people actually have stuff to do in the summer. Not me. I sit at home and do absolutely nothing. I actually have a routine of shows I watch. (Saved by the Bell, then Boy Meets World, then Friends, then whatever comes on after that.) Sad isn't it? And I bet you're all like "Well why don't you make plans?" BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING! Most of my "friends" are either at the beach or hanging out with other friends. It totally sucks to not have anyone want to habg out with you because everyone else has something better to do or better people to hang out with. Like, words can't even describe my hurt. And also, I can't drive, so I can't meet up with anyone. EVER. And I no one ever invites me to the beach. Even if I didn't like the person and didn't want to go, it's still nice to have an invite. I wish I actually had a true best friend that would want to hang out all the time. And no one ever texts me. I usually have to text other people to see if they want to hang out...and most of the time they don't ever text me back! WELL THAT MAKES ME FEEL FREAKIN IMPORTANT! And my parents are always saying that I'm lazy and I never do nothing...well it's because I'm so freakin depressed that no one wants to have anything to do with me! UUUGGGGHHHH! Why don't people like me?! Am I THAT weird? I always thought I was a good amount of weirdness. I FINALLY may* have plans to go to the movies with Genell and Briona Bozeman...if they would ever text me back! See what I mean? And it was just gonna be Katlyn Eller and I, but she bailed. If only people understood my misery.

Well I'm sorry for going on this huge rampage...I just had to have some way to let it all out, I don't have any friends to tell it to, and no one but Myra reads this thing (Hey Myra!) so I figured this would be safe. Well good night world!
