The Yellow Umbrella

Life's a garden, Dig it.

What a corny but cute quote, Both Positive and creative,, The world definately needs some positivity going into 2010. Mental and social breakdowns are reoccurances, bringing in the new year. Lots of scary things are happening and bizarre ones too.

So for my socials class we have to write an 3-paragraphed essay on which country we would vote for in the fight for the Arctic.
The Arctic is an unclaimed property which no one was interested in until "global warming" started to melting the ice. Under the Ice of the Arctic there are millions of resources, the most faught over would be the natural gas. The Arctic has 30% of all natural gas, as well as 15% of undiscovered gas in the ENTIRE world.


  The only people who can set claim to the beautiful ice-covered ocean are the country's that have some connection to the area. That would mean; Canada, USA, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway. 
 
A Preseident of somesort proclaimed that there should be a treaty, inwhich as soon as signed you have 10 years to reasearch all you want, find out everything you need to about the arctic, and prove that you are connected to the arctic under the water. Russia was one of the firsts to sign therefor their 10 years has passed, Whether they came up with evidential claims, no one will know, until everyone's 10 years has finished. Canada is next up to the plate, they signed to the treaty  and i THINK we are due to admit our claims in 2012?

To me, it just seems like a race, to be better than the next country and even thought most of the countrys have good reasoning, I still find that alot of it might be just to prove that they are the Alpha-Country.


Over And Out
:]

Well hey again. :]

You know those friends you've lost your "Groove" with? We all ave them.. Well i do atleast. It's almost as if when i say something she doesn't like she becomes SOUR almost mean.. okay really mean.. The worst part is I realize it... I notice it! and i dont even freaking stand up for myself!! Well thats going to end [hopefully] No more Pushing me Around!

FRIENDSHIP PROFILE

Name; Drama
Height; SHORT.. to say the least.
Personality; Seems as the she worships boys.. Not literally, but whatever she does boys are somewhere in it.. Shes a Boy Addict.. She gets all over boys when she sees them uber flirty and huggy.. and its annoying for the rest of us girls who have to deal with that when we like the boy.. ontop of that.. she is a major actor.. and i think it really has become her life..literally.. She takes things the wrong way ALL the time.. and she makes giant dramatic fights.
Habbit; Drama.. and teasing me and my bestguy friend about liking eachother.. [its been almost 1 and 1/2 years since she started.]
Bible Verse that Relates; Luke 7: 47-48
Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little." Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
My Verdict; Alot of rough stuff has happened between us, but the real thing we need to focus on is keeping our past in the past. Some people say to Forgive and Forget. But i think to Forgive is a good enough thing to work on. Forgiveness is such an important thing in any friendship so as i am still working on fixing our friendship and trying set out boundaries again, i hope to be still forgiving.



On the other side.. How about the friends that you would die without? The friends that have a trampoline at the bottom of the building when you want to jump? [if that makes sense to you] The ones that know, that can just tell how you feel. That want you to be the happiest person alive.. even if they aren't. I love those friends.. It's sad how you never really get to say how much they mean ot you..

FRIENDSHIP PROFILE


Name; Peter Pan
Height; 5''4
Personality;She is seriously my bestfriend.. almost sister. We've been neighbors since she was born. And moving away never stopped our friendship.. although we dont hangout as regularily as i wish we could.. [we are about an hour and a half away now] we still find weekends, and other times to hangout. i dont know what i would do without her. i tell her mostly everything.
Habbit; she texts WAY to much.. her phone is seriously her baby!
Bible Verse that relates; Proverbs 18: 24;
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than  a brother.
My Verdict; It's hard to be a perfect friend, and being just a normal human person.. we can't be perfect. But we can try.. We be there to catch said person when they fall or to bring them from depression into happiness.. to share your memories with. to share your raging emotions and confusions.. It's hard to find someone who you can trust literally with your life.. it may take until you are 50.. maybe 80.. or maybe when you are 1.. like me. But when you find them you have someone you can fall back onto.. someone who loves you because you are you, who cares about you so much they would offer up their own life.. I hope you Find the joys of a true friend.

                      Until tomorrow reaches the sun;
                                  Over and Out
                                          <3

Well Hello There,

My God is the most CRAZY and UNBELIEVABLE God. When you stereotype christianity... [come on we've all been there!] you think; "Well they are just goody-two-shoes-no-fun-all-day-party-poopers." Think about the morals of a christian.. Even if i wasn't christian i would still do the same.. It says to respect your body as if it were a temple.. no sex before marriage. im sure you enjoy your sexual fun.. but seriously? There was obviously a reason for this statement and that might be STDs or teen pregnancy's! You can keep going on and saying.. "Oh that won't be me.. im way more careful." Well its happened to people thinking just what you are right now.. And Honor your father and mother.. Dude! I know they are bossy and want to control your life.. but with good reason! i mean they are protecting you from all the bad stuff that once you graduate out of school will be faced with! Drugs..Drinking.. Pressure.. Terrible Co-workers.. Painful experiences... cut them some slack!
some People think that if you sin God punishes you... i guess no one realizes jesus died for you..? I mean think about it as if God was a human. He saw that people were going to be in DEEP pain.. and he let his one and only son for you.. When he sees you.. he doesn't see you.. He sees you for jesus.. his son. Think about the pain of a crucifiction for a second.. The  process was like this;

1. Whipped bare-backed with a 3 knotted leather whip, until bone was shown.
2.dragged through town socially embarassed as people scorned you and threw stones.
3. then having to carry a aprox. 50 pound cross.. which was splintery on your raw cut back a few miles.
4. And the most famous part.. Being nailed at your hands and legs.

That all just gets me bad.. I mean we cry when we get minor papercuts and maybe had to get stitches for something.. This man.. as many were in the olden days.. Was stabbed through the wrists, and legs. Through all the veins and blood. And all together with that.. he did it for you! for me!
You know.. I believe in jesus christ, and God.. and if I'm wrong and what i believe is a lie.. i have nothing to lose.. What about you?

Yup, Highschool is jungle! Minus the vines... and tarzan of course.. More or less attitude wise. People can be.. so weird.. :l

Is it so bad to want to get good grades? To get to class on time? I'm not homework obessed or anything, but gosh! i do try.. unlike some of my medlied friends.. [yes i'm aware medlied isn't a word.]

friendship is an odd thing. It can be the most thrilling and amazin thing.. But it can also tamper with your life, being with your friends everyday, all day.. No alone time.. I think honestley we'd all get tired of eachother. Now don't go about telling your friends you are in need of a 'break' thats totally not what i mean. Although you feel totally low sometimes.. ith a certain friend.. you can feel ONTOP of the world. Just Be wise with who your trust is given too.


FRIENDSHIP PROFILE

Name; Smiles.
Height; maybe.. 5''4
Personality; She's sweet and funny, and she is happy beyond words infront of people but when she is alone or not hiding with her mask.. She seems to be the most unhappy girl in the world.
Habbit; to make mean comments but mask them with JUST KIDDING.
Bible Verse that relates; Proverbs 26 Verse18-19;  Like a madman shooting firebands or deadly arrows, is a man who decieves his neighbor and says "i was just joking."
My Verdict?: Smiles is one of my bestfriends, and i love her to death. I think the just kidding thing is just too booste herself into confidence. i wish of someway to bring her into happiness. D; Boosting her confidence might help her to really feel full of life like she acts at school.

Now many people think 'Oh, highschool drama.. it's all the same.' to that... I totally agree!  Teens are just so caught up in who did what, that they don't focus on anthing else. Over gossip, friendships are made [oddly enough], and they are broken.. Mainly broken.. But live isn't about a lie.. A faker... A rumor.. Or a secret.



   Welcome To My Life!
I have bundles of friends.. with so many different personalities.. not one is the same.. although some are very similar.. I have a nice and close friend group.. or a clique as some people would say, but i would just call it good friends hanging out.. Because personally, i dont find that the word clique works well for my friends..

Clique; : a narrow exclusive circle or group of persons; especially : one held together by common interests, views, or purposes

You see my friend group... Well we have hardly anything in common with everybody in the group! Let's call it the Knit group.. With great reasoning... Knit like a sweater are our friendships but if someone tugs on it.. lets just say that corny christmas sweater your aunt bertha nit... Yeah its not in its 'Glory Days' anymore.

AnySuch.. So i have jock friends, who are inlove with hockey, soccer, and basketball.. who also can't stop talking about Family guy. Then there are the girls i've known since grade 5. Basically Pure Girly Girl.. Stillhetto's and Gingham.. what shade of blush and lipgloss... you get the picture..I have a few nerdy friends, who absolutely adore school.. and some friends who i feel the most in common with.. And in the medley of friendships... there is Me.

Me you ask? I apparently have amazingly soft hair.. Alot of people tell me i'm gorgeous.. that i have a model face.. well mainly girls.. because boys are just not couragious down her in the town of sun. It's hard to compete against supermodels i must say. like my friends since grade 5.. Gosh. They are all beauts. Lastly.. God Shines through my veins like no other.. I love jesus. i am a baptist christian and love it.

I dont know how this will turn out because its my life.. my views.. my pains.. my success..my thoughts..
but i hope you enjoy!
Without further ado.

OVER AND OUT.
