That's how you know

Posting a clip from my new favorite movie.

I was so impressed by this movie. Basically it's Disney making fun of all Disney princess films. But the amazing fact is that it's the best original music I've heard in a musical in YEARS. It sounds like classic Disney and I love it. Hopefully someday we'll get more good original music, but until then I have this...

Keep breathing, relax.

So my dinner tried to kill me a little while ago.

Earlier today Granny and I went shopping and discovered this uber yummy Asian stir fry (we got samples there) so we got some to make for dinner. Granny added turkey and the meal was tasting quite wonderful.

Until I swallowed what must have been a bone from the turkey. OWE. It felt like a double ended needle going down my throat. SO freakin sharp. I wasn't quite choking but I couldn't swallow either because every time I tried the pain was unbelievable. No one knew what to do. I got very scared very fast though I didn't panic, I just got really tense. Mom and Granny told me to relax and keep breathing deeply and to lean my head far back and take small sips of my pepsi. I did... and every swallow HURT and then I got very hot and started to feel feverish. Finally the evil sharp thing unlodged itself from wherever it was in my throat and went down. Now my throat just feels very sore. I hope it didn't poke anything and cause internal issues.

So that was my dramatic experience of the day. I have nothing else to write about these days so I thought I'd share my scary moment.

FINALLY

Mom and I went shopping in Orland the other day and on our way back (we went home a different way then when going) and I was babbling about something when I hear my mom go "WHOA! Is that for real?!" And I look out of my window to see...... *drum roll* A Sonic!!!!!!!! I've heard they existed, I've seen hilarious commercials for their shakes, I rode past one with a group of friends in Kokomo, Indiana once, but here... there's one HERE! It's new and it's only a few minutes away from my house! I've always wanted to try a Sonic! About a year ago Shane and I were talking about it and wondering where the nearest one was. I jokingly said "Over 2 hours away in Kokomo, Indiana." Then he google mapped it and the closest one was... over 2 hours away... in Kokomo, Indiana. So I"ve wondered for a long long time why we kept getting commercials for Sonic in our area. It was like torture. They kept advertising these delicious looking shakes and slushes and I was beginning to think I would never have one.

But now it's here! YAY! I can't wait to try it! I hope it's everything I dreamed of. (ok so I haven't actually dreamed about it... but it better be cool!)

Breathless

Ok so it's another video.

But this one I made myself with some new software my friend Kevin helped me get.

Of course it's a Hermione/Harry video... mostly because they just happened to be who I have the most clips of on my computer and this video was mostly for experimental purposes having the new software and all.

Anyhoo, enjoy! And feel free to leave opinions.

Church

So this past Sunday I officially became a member of Shane's church... which is now OUR church. Before I did, I had to set up a "get aquainted" meeting with one of the 2 pastors because they just like to get to know all the new members. Which is really nice. One of the pastors... Pastor Stumpf, I had already talked to a lot just from attending the church so I chose to meet with the other pastor, Pastor Stock. And I am so glad I did. I found him very intimidating and kind of distant for the entire year I had been attending the church with Shane.

But I will never think that way again! I'm so happy I met with him and was able to discover just how awesome he is. Often times when I've tried talking religion with anyone or about the bible with anyone, in return I was made fun of. (except with Shane and Christina). But I felt comfortable enough to say how I felt with Pastor Stock and we instantly hit it off and shared a lot of the same opinions. He was also really nice when it came to me not having a job. In my file, he wrote down all the things I enjoy doing... (writing, photography, oil painting) and said he would do what he can to find me a paying job at the church.

At the new members brunch on Sunday he came over and told me he thinks he found something I would enjoy and may be hearing from someone soon. It doesn't pay but he said it may lead to something that does. I don't know exactly what it is yet, but I'm very excited!

Also at the brunch, Don (my former teacher in the new members class) and his wife Alice introduced me to a member that has a lot of connections in Indiana with different dental offices and she took my name and number and said she will do what she can for me!

So needless to say, I've barely been a member for a week and I could not feel more welcome. It's like an instant family. Not to mention it feels just generally good for my soul to be with people who believe what I do. I took so much from that new members class and I don't want it to stop. I'm thinking of attending the bible classes on Sunday mornings that the pastors teach themselves.

I just really love it there and I want to be more involved. As Pastor Stock told me... going from visitor to member is like buying a house. You find the one you want, and it's all great on the outside but when you're actually handed the keys, it's a whole new world.

I have the keys and I can't wait to get settled!

In your FIZZACE, Iphone!

So about a year and a half ago I got this HP pocket pc/smartphone thing but I only ever used it as a pocket pc... for playing games and using the wifi. But recently I've desperately needed something other than my razr... the battery life has been getting worse by the day, I wasn't getting all my voicemails people were leaving me, as well as text messages, and sometimes it would drop calls or it was just plain hard to hear on in the first place.

Well the other day I wondered if it would be possible to start using my pocket pc as a phone. I told this to Shane yesterday and he explained that if it has a SIM card slot, all I should have to do was take the card out of the razr and put it in the HP and I should be set to go. (I don't know a lot about phones so I was not aware it would be this easy) But it was! He put the card in for me and TADA! I now have the awesomest phone ever. If I had known it would be this sweet I would have done it a long time ago.

I also got a free software that my friend Kevin recommended to me yesterday that lets me watch any Youtube video on it.

So basically, after wanting the iphone for months I've discovered that what I already had is way better.

*Free wifi that connects pretty well
*Phone service (I can hear people a lot better now)
*I can play games on it
*Watch youtube videos (in darn good quality)
*It has a messenger program that lets me use anything from AIM to ICQ
*It takes pictures
*Plays mp3's
*Has awesome battery life as long as I leave the brightness on dim (which is plenty bright enough)
*Full qwerty keypad!

*sigh* I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when Shane helped me with that yesterday!

Now I'll I need is a job and a new computer and I'll be all set. :D

The things people say...

While playing Halo on Live.

I was playing on a team with this guy and we were losing but it was still a fun game. Anyway, he got really aggrivated when he couldn't kill anyone and he started yelling this to our opponents...

"Oh man, screw this! Screw it all! Screw your couches, screw your grandmas, and screw your pork chops!!!!!"

I laughed so hard.
