Day 1- To my dear best friend:)

Best friend.
What a weird term. It seems that different people have different interpretations of the term, "best friend". To some, it means that they're the person you hang out with. To others, it's someone you tell everything to, and know that they won't judge you.
For me, it's those and more.
I find that I have difficulty having one "best friend". But, if I were to give that title to any person in the whole world, I would have to say it is you, my lovely Teiglet.
You put up with me so much. Well, we put up with each other.
See, I see friendship as a two way street, as I'm sure most people do. But I find that in my relationships, it seems to happen that I give more than I receive. Not with you.
You're the best.
I love you so much. You put up with me when I'm crying, angry, hyper, calm, hurt, furious, annoyed, sad, depressed, lower than depressed, you do it all. I owe you soooo much.
And you always knows exactly what I need to hear. I don't always want to hear what I need to hear, but I know that what you say, you say out of love.
Our friendship has not gone without it's share of trials. But I believe the trials that we face have made us stronger and closer. I love that I can always turn to you when I feel like my life is spiraling. You're always there to pick me back up, and I love you for that.
You're gorgeous, funny, kind, gentle, sarcastic (good thing, I am too), non-judgmental, strong, and sooo understanding. I appreciate everything you do for me and I love that you let me help you.
I love that I can feel so comfortable with your family. Even with the incessant name calling and such.. cough.. I am so comfortable with you guys and I completely love it! It's a great feeling:)
It's weird to think that two years ago, I thought you were annoying and you thought I hated you.. and look at how our friendship has evolved! Ha. Okay, so we didn't start out on the best of terms, but you can't really blame me for why I felt the way I did, and I certainly don't blame you. It seems that the weird connection that we had was one of the unifying things to create the spark of our friendship.
I love our inside jokes. And I love that we laugh at the same things and feel the same way about so many things, but are totally okay with each other if we disagree about something.
That's so important to me.
You make me want to be a better person. Every day. You push me to become something more than what I am, which is really important for me, I need that motivation:)
I love you so so much, you're an amazing best friend, and I'm so glad to have you in my life, I hope you never leave it:)

All my love,
Sofers

Yeah, about that, I'm gonna start tomorrow. My computer's having a freakout.
So.. Tomorrow it is! :)

Okay. I really gotta get back into this.

Hello! I haven't blogged in sooo long.
I guess now is as good a time as any to start up again.
It's kinda funny, actually, a couple different people have gotten on my case about my blog lately.. I think it's a sign.
Anywho, what has gone on.. hmm.. I'm out of high school! FOREVER! :D HUZZAH! I'm so happy about it. Like seriously, you can't begin to comprehend the joy I feel from being OUT of high school.
And I have this cute little netbook. I appreciate its existence:)
So yeah.
I'm out of high school.
I love university ward already, it's really fun.. We do some cool stuff! Sports night is tonight, we're playing soccer.. aww yeah:) haha.
I have a job! Not the best job ever, but a job is a job and money is money so I'm happy.
I have the BEST friends ever. Like seriously. All of them are absolutely fantastic.
I love my Corvallis friend group especially.
They bring so much spirituality and joy into my life. I love them.
I am so excited for this summer! We have so many good plans made.
We're gonna do a lot of stuff.
I'm so stoked, you can't even comprehend it.
Basically.
The trek is gonna be really cool! And sweaty..eww. But cool! So it's okay!
Ha.
Matthew and I have made a lot of project ideas that we need to put into effect this summer..
We'll see how that goes. Him, Alex and I already made a rocket car! It was really cool. It had googly eyes. It was an alligator:)
I'm going to Idaho next week for a familam reunion, yo. It'll be tight.
YEAH!
Okay.
I gotta go get ready for Sports night.
I'll add more tomorrow! Or later tonight.. remind me!
Okay, love you all, bye:)

Holy Goodness, I'm Bad at This Game.

I was such a good little blogger for such a short amount of time, blahh. Sorry! I guess life happens and priorities are made, and I totally managed to forget about my blog! D: Okay, my life:

I am currently in full swing of my senior project! IT'S SO MUCH WORK. OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS. I am doing a complete remodel of the interior of the band room. Meaning removal of cabinets and such, removal of the carpet, repainting the walls, replacing the carpet, and new cabinets. And there's more! I have to organize everything. AND I have to find a person who can do a mural (Or I'll just do it). I'd rather have someone else do it though, I have enough to do! Besides, that's a new senior project opportunity for someone else.
So basically that has been controlling my life, but when that's not in the way, I hang out with my friends! :D Mainly Geli. I try to see her as much as possible, I love her so much! She's seriously like the most amazing person to ever come into my life. I also hang out with the Carlson boys a lot, they're super funny and great!
Speaking of which: Halloween. I should tell you about it.
So I didn't actually do anything on Halloween, because I'm lame, but I did do something before it!
On the 30th, I had school (even though everyone I was hanging out with didn't)
And so Geli and Ashley came and got me straight after school, (I was already dressed up like Velma from Scooby-Doo, Geli was Daphne) and so we went to Downtown Corvallis, where we were going to meet the Carlsons, and then we had to find Geli's little sister so we could tell her she had Baton practice..? I don't know what it was, but yeah. So we found her sister after running around Downtown for a while, and then we finally sat down at this cafe, and right then the boys showed up! It was SO GREAT. They were Mario and Luigi, it seriously made my life. Hahaha. They pulled it off well! :D I was so proud of them. Hahaha.
So we meandered Downtown for a bit and did some half-trick-or-treating (I didn't do like any, I didn't want to really..) but then we decided we wanted to go somewhere, so we went to Wildcat Park (I don't think it's called that anymore..?) and played Fishy Outta Water (I'm terrible at that game) and it was fun! Minus the fact that if you're it, your eyes have to be closed, and there were tons of stairs and drops on the play structure. Haha.
So then we sat around and tried to decide what we wanted to do for like a half an hour (Power to the indecisive!) and decided that the majority of us were hungry, so we went to Subway (Geli kept trying to make me get something. And I really appreciated the offer, but I didn't feel good.)So they got their food and I just sat there (It was pleasant, I needed a chance to breathe, I felt gross) and then we raced to the Carlson's house, and of course the boys won (considering it's their house). So we got there, and decided we wanted to play a game, so first we played Apples to Apples (I kept winning cards with traits similar to a freshman girl, Michael kept getting ones that were masculine and such, Matt got like 40 billion cards, and they were so random, Geli got a bunch of really pleasant cards, so did Ashley.) And then we played moods (I'm not very good at that game either..) and then we played this game with candy bars wrapped in paper (it was doom, really) and they were hidden in this huge bag of newspapers.. and you had to find the candy and unwrap them while wearing winter gloves.. it was so difficult, and I was terrible at it! Haha. Geli was a WIZARD at that game, it was insane. She got like 8 candy bars(which she later split up among us). And THEN we decided we wanted to watch a movie, and decided it'd be a good idea to go rent one. So we crammed into Geli's car (okay, it wasn't really cramming, but there were 5 teenagers in a Civic, so think about it.) and we went to rent a movie, and decided 1408 was a good idea for renting. So we watched it.
TERRIFYING. It was scarier than I expected. I jumped several times! Geezaloo.
I felt so tired though (I had a longer day than everyone else, ha) and so I kept like half dozing off, and I'm pretty sure I did fall asleep for a bit once or twice.. And for some reason, I was ridiculously cold! I was wearing a knitted sweater and sweats and I was using a blanket and I was right next to Michael, and I was still freezing. I don't even know. It was ridiculous. I think that was the beginning of this deathcold I've managed to acquire.
But yeah, we ended up leaving at like 11:00? Maybe later. I don't remember. I was so tired! It was so fun though, definitely amazing, and it freaked out Geli and Ashley and I for a good amount of time!
Then this last weekend, I stayed the night at Geli's house! And went to church with her on Sunday, it was marvelous! I really like her ward a lot. :) The people are pleasant.
The first time I stayed the night at her house was the week before Halloween, and I stayed there because my parents went up to a lake cabin, and I didn't wanna go (we were going to the Corn Maze.) and so I stayed at Geli's and went to church with her!
OH!
CORN MAZE! It was great! I kept getting so scared! I personally think it cost too much for the amount of scaring they did, but it was still good! I like clung to Michael's arm, I swear I almost tore it off once or twice. Ha. It was Me, Michael, Alex, Matt, Geli, Caitlin, and Scott. It was fun! :D I squealed a lot, it was great. Ha. There was only one part where I think Michael got truly startled (lame) and that was this porta-potty! It was so weird. Like seriously. We walked past it, and it shot out a jet stream of water! And it was terribly intense and pressured water, it was scary. Haha.
But yeah, Corn maze was great!
I don't know what else to talk about, there has just been so much going on! I love my friends, and I love the influence they have on me and make me want to strive to be! It's amazing.

Sorry!

I know, I've gone over a month without bloggifying. :/ Sorry!
So.. what's been going on in my life? Well, hmm. School is in full swing!
My schedule is as follows:
1st-Free Period
2nd-Band
3rd-Senior Social Studies
4th-Senior Project Lab
5th-Independent Study; Math
It's a really nice schedule to have! Especially since my senior project is going to be taking place for the most part this trimester.
I am going to be designing and painting the band room. It's going to be quite the job. I'm really really excited though! It'll definitely have it's benefits. Like, for instance, painting over a certain mural.. Yeah, there's a mural that some random art student painted in there years ago that has backwards music notes, and it kinda irks me.. (That's my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder coming out) so I'm really excited to paint over it! :)
What else is going on? Hmm... There was a stake dance a little over a week ago! So great, minus the fact that I have a death cold. :/ But it was still really fun. I definitely enjoyed it! Then on Sunday there was a Seminary Fireside, and that was rather enjoyable too, minus a few things, mainly the bruise I managed to acquire on my leg.. yeah it's still there, it's like 3 inches by 2 inches.
It's huge.
And then last week was homecoming week! SO busy. So much setup and background work! I am the token female member of the tech club. Haha. But it's actually really fun because I know what Brandon is talking about 80% of the time.. well.. yeah. It's nice. Haha.
Then on Saturday. Wow, Saturday was a busy day. At 10 that morning, I went to the school to help set up for the Homecoming Dance (setting up tech) and Brandon and I had to climb under the football grandstands (DISGUSTING) to get his phone, because it had fallen between the cracks the night before. So then we set up tech, then I went over to Jackson Frisbie's house and we ate lunch and I played with his dog while he got his sound recording equipment. Then we went to Suzannah Doyle's house (She's like, the sweetest lady ever) and we recorded a couple of my original songs, yay! They actually sound really cool, and I was really surprised, because I didn't know that my voice sounded like that.. my vibrato is kinda weird.. that's gotta change. Haha. But yeah. Then Jackson brought me home, and I sat around for a while, did some chores, then like right before I was supposed to leave for Homecoming (I was supposed to be there early for tech) I decided I was actually GOING to Homecoming (I was contemplating ditching the whole thing, school dances are kinda really lame) so I got ready really fast and went to the dance.
WHAT A DANCE. Seriously the weirdest school dance I've ever been to. Very random and eventful but not at the same time. Just so weird. Then a group of friends and I went to Shari's, and most of us got Milkshakes.. (Caramel FTW!) and then I came home around 1:30, 2:00.. and woke up at 9:00 the next morning, got ready, and went to Stake Conference!
I loved it. So great! There were so many good talks. I really liked Sister Gibbs' talk. It was so nice. Then they had a lunch thing for all the youth, and I talked with Nancy and Geli a bit, but mainly Michael. Haha. Then there was a fireside session thing for us, and that was good too. So much goodness! :)
Then yesterday I had a terrible fever. I haven't gotten much sleep. But yesterday was really really hot, and I walked home (I live on hill, by the way) and I wore my sweatshirt the whole time, and I was sweating but I was still FREEZING COLD. It was bad. So I went to bed and woke up three hours later, then I couldn't sleep any more.. and so I was awake ALL NIGHT. It was bad. I just layed there.. trying to sleep.. It was upsetting. So yeah. Today was just a normal day, except I auditioned to sing the National Anthem at school events.. but that's not a big deal. Other than that, yeah. Life is great! I love people, especially Geli. Like really, she's such an inspiration to me, and she is such a good example to me. If you don't know her, you really should. She's beautiful and amazing in every way. She's definitely a person worth knowing. :)
I don't really know what else to say, except hopefully I won't be a blogging slacker and I'll post again really soon. :)

Finally.

Hey. So yes! I'm finally blogging again.
Sorry about the lack of blogging.
I've been really really busy lately!So where do I begin..
I've been hanging out with Geli so much lately! I love it, she's such a sweet girl. So last week I was texting her all week and we were all excited because there was a stake dance on Saturday and the guys we like were going to be there, and then she found out that they weren't going to go, and so we were like "gah buzzkill" but still planned on going.
So then on Saturday I went to Foster Reservoir with my family, because a bunch of them came down and we were going tubing and jet skiing and stuff. So we get to Foster and my bro and I go jet skiing and we flipped friggin' 4 times! I blame him for 3 of the times. He kept trying to do a 360. Like really? Haha. Then I was driving and I was going really fast over a bunch of wakes and it was AWESOME because I was catching a crapload of air, and my bro was freaking out. Haha. But somehow, when I stopped, we managed to flip. It was great though. :)
My brother brought me home with him and I stayed at his apartment while I waited for Geli to get me, so I took a shower because I was all lake-waterified. So then I was sitting at Erik's dining room table when his roommate walks in, and I scared the crap out of him. It was hilarious.
Finally, Geli ended up getting me, and we went to my house and got ready, but I didn't try very hard to look good, because I figured the kid I like wasn't going to be there so it didn't matter. Then went and picked up Stephanie, Michaela and Nancy... lets just say it was a cozy car ride.
So we get to the dance and I find a bunch of Corvallis friends and I'm dancing with them and we're having a good time, then all of the sudden I see the kid I like walk by and I'm like "OHMYGOODNESSGRACIOUSMANALIVE!" I was freaking out, and I look at Geli and mouth at her, "I THOUGHT YOU SAID HE WASN'T COMING."
It was terrible.
So I ended up having an amazing time at that dance, let's just put it that way.
Then I came home and went to church the next day, which was good. Spiritual, as always. :)
Then on Monday I left for camping with my friend Beqi, and Lindsey, and Beqi's parents and her aunt. It was a lot of fun! We camped at Moonshine park and did a lot of swimming in the river. On the second day we got rained on a lot and so we retreated to our tents really early and spent basically the rest of the night in our tents. Then we came home Wednesday.
On Wednesday night I went to a farewell party for my (basically) sister, Molly. She's going off to Utah State. :( We played Charades and Animal and Murder in the dark. It was wonderful. :)
Then today, I spent a lot of time at home, then I went with Jenaye and we went and hung out with Haley and it was a lot of fun. :) We took a lot of pictures and laughed a lot and it was joyous. :) Jenaye and I walked to her house and created outfit ideas and talked.
But now I'm home.
:)
And happy to be so!
I definitely have been running non-stop for a long time. I haven't even included half of the stuff that I've been doing this last 2 weeks. I've just been so busy that I don't even remember it all! But I am so thankful for the ability to have privileges and the trust that my parents feel with me. I know that it is because of the decisions I make and the spirit they feel. They tell me so.
It would be so sad if my parents couldn't trust me. I don't know what I would do. Making bad decisions hurts. It really hurts to see the ones I love do it. I don't know what to do sometimes, but those are the times I know I need to turn to the Lord.
I'm glad I am able to do that.
That's all the rambling I'm going to do now. I gotta go sleep now. :)

Sorry for the Delay!

Hello! I'm back. Sorry about not blogging for like, a week, i've been running like crazy!
Last week was amazing. Spent a lot of time with friends, and went tubing, and dyed Jenaye's hair.. what else.
Oh, well, this week is going to be awesome!
I'm so excited. We are going jet skiing and tubing with some family (awesome) and I'm going to come home early and stay with my bro, and then on Saturday I am going to the stake activity and the seven stake dance.
Geli is going to come over and we're gonna get ready together. Then we'll pick up Nancy and w00t! Hour long car ride!
Hand dancing, anyone?
I love people.
People have so much impact on everything! It's wonderful.
I'm kind of running out of time, so I'll blog more later.
I'm sorry!
