Fair Photos










Sorry to have a super short post, but just to let you know that this thing hasn't been forgotten!
I'll try to jot things down on what to update or whatever, but I have a loooot of things going on this school semester, so I hate to promise it.

These were photos that I entered in the county fairs and they all placed really well.
Hope you enjoy ^^

This descriptive writing assignment from a while back. Like, December or something.

I looked at its bespoke ebony wood as it shined out. Its pearly keys harmonized with the black all too well. I lifted up its roof and set it on the slender and fragile stand. Now the immaculate melody would resonate throughout the chamber. I spun around to install myself on the bench, positioning it closer. With this, I could execute my goal with a higher degree of perfection. The dimension was so surreal, and so exquisite. It wanted to be touched; it was begging to be played. It wanted its voice to be heard. Finally… my hands stretched out and all at once I was in a vivid and colorful world of light.
The passion that was sewn into my fingers long ago was flying out into its melody. My fingers glided without any control as if the instrument was playing itself. The joy of its beauty was exhibited across my face with an ear to ear grin. I had been so naive before of what this instrument could hold. The sound bounced off the walls with such an alluring elegance, such as I have never heard before. The piece was captured with such perfection. My eyes were suddenly wet. This is everything I had ever wanted to do.


The point was to describe something without naming it. I think I accomplished that :P

Let me know what you think

So, we meet again...

I admit. I practically forgot about this thing/didn't really care.
But then, this awesome, bubbly, and drop dead gorgeous woman told me to post more stuff because she found it to be profound. Whoo! XP
So, as you see, that raised my motivation.
But, ya know, I am a human being and procrastinate. And instead of doing what I need to do, I'm posting this at 2 am XD
It was 1:30, and I was still trying to get to sleep. Then a flying cow knocks on my window, and he's all like "You needa save the world!" "No, I'm tired..." "But people are dying!" "fine..." so I beat up the evil monkeys and saved the world, but I got home at 7:45 and I'm like "crap...." And then I was like ah! I needa puke. But then I didn't, but I felt like I was. I'm better now, but I need a 3 hour nap later.
Now, you see, a lot has happened.
I'm not to sure what all I want to share really because a lot I feel is extremely personal. But, I'll share a few highlights.
1) Ms. MM and I are liking ALL of each others stuff.:)
2) I went to the dentist like, 3 times for fillings >_<
3) I had tried expired milk for the first time, ever XD
4) XDD looks like a double chin laughing man.
5) Got new glasses. FINALLY.
6) babegeous is the best term of endearment ever:)
7) I had Panda Express for the first time ever, and I've had it, like, 3 times since then even though I RARELY eat out XP
8) I've had a bizarre orange juice fetish *-*
9) My brother/best guy friend, Stephen... him and his girlfriend had to break up, and he's still more or less depressed about it. BUT he comes home from college tomorrow; he's done for the school year:)
10) The show, Willy Wonka.... We had like, 6 different performances! ><
But I made some amazingly fun friends:) (this was at the end of March)
11) Chuck, the show, is awesome.:D
12) Luke, my cousin, came home from his mission.
13) I spent Spring Break in St. George with my best friend. That had been the best week all year, thus far.
14) I went to Seattle on the 16th and got back really really early the 23rd. Saw Evan, Kyle, Maddy, Serena, Kendall, and Danielle. It was really great, bittersweet in some ways, but definitely the best Seattle trip thus far!!!!!
15) I named my slippers Hop and Spaghetti. I'm so weird.
16) I finished my History course and I'm SO close to finishing my vocabulary course
17) Got really good scores on my ISATS (State Standardized Testing)
18) Dream Theater's new drummer is Mike Mangini.
19) Everyone suddenly thinks I'm super pretty. It's weird, but a good weird XP
20) 8 is always more symmetrical.
21) Dance recital was a week ago; went really well. And this Saturday, my dance troop is going to Lagoon to compete and may possibly go to D-land next year.
22) Pajamas has been born! XP

And today, well, I'll just share the highlights.
23) I went to volunteer today with my dad, Nathan Lower, and Stephen. It was nice seeing Stephen and I'm glad that him and I have such a tight bond.
Cora had a party tonight. I ate 1,200 calories worth of ice cream! >_<
Pretty good though, for the most part.

24) Tomorrow is my middle school project thinger and I feel so unprepared. :|

That's it for now-- I seriously need to sleep. ><

Uno, Dose, Three!

I've just realized how long it's been since I've posted anything. I've just been procrastinating about it.
A few things to hit up on, 1) Seattle, 2) Anna, 3) Other friends, 4) School, 5) Something I might've forgot to post on here, but I want to say anyway.

1) Seattle. Beautiful as always. I love that place more than anything. It's just so magical to me that it's rather indescribable. I saw my family of course, my sister Michelle, her husband, and my nephew, Brayden, 8, and my niece, Katelynn, who just turned 1. Katelynn is an amazingly smart 1 year old, and knows a bit of sign language so she can communicate with you. My nephew is so much like me when I was younger. But he's starting to mellow down a bit, which is great. You see, when I was younger, if someone beat me at a game, I would literally flip over the board and run into my room and pout for 10 minutes. He also, like I was, doesn't realize that everybody else isn't as intelligent as he is, which, you know, isn't exactly a great thing. He also has a very particular sense of style and is hard to shop for. But I understand his style and what he's looking for, so we took him shopping and everything that I picked out he liked. That was fun and all, but I also got to see a lot of friends this trip. The first was my lifelong friend, Maddy, whom spent the Saturday with me and my family. That was rather fun and she showed me some pretty wicked sites (http://senorgif.memebase.com/, http://thinkgeek.com)
  Sunday was a really fun day; my nieces 1st birthday party! Some fun people were there, and I stole an 8 year olds hat, the cake was really cute and yummy, and my niece got one of those cars that you pedal around with your feet. Katelynn LOVED it and would rarely get out of it the whole time we were up there. She's adorable.
Me in Kaden's panda hat ^-^
  Then Monday, I met up at The Golden Corral with my childhood best friend, Nichelle. It was pleasant, but her mom took up most of the talking, which wasn't boring, but wasn't what I expected persay. Just catching up for the most part.
This is me and Nichelle. (She;'s the one with the hat on)
 Tuesday I spent out with my parents having dinner with a good family friend, and then playing a really fun game that I hadn't played before, although the name escapes me.
  Wednesday was spent mostly at home until 6:30, then I went to mutual with my friend Maddy and was back by 9.
  And Thursday I spent from 3:30-7:45 at my friend Evan's house with Maddy and some other friends (Kyle, Danielle, and Tyler). That was the most fun that I had had since.... last summer sometime. And his mom got us pizza! :D haha.





 
The first is me and a giant spider on my head, The second is me with an akasuki cloak on and Maddy behind me. The reason I look so weird? Well, I was going to do a signature super hero pose, and then I was yelling at Maddy right as Evan took it, so... XD The third is me eating Maddy's arm! We were at Tyler's house (which is two doors down) seeing if he could come and play! <3 :) And so, Danielle knocked on the door, and then he came out, and we were all staring at him and we're like "Come play with us...." @-@..... XD
Then the last one is when everyone else except me and Evan were gone (cause it was Evan's house ya know...) and I have a ball of aluminum foil in my mouth. My left hand's fingers look very broken XD


  Friday, I was supposed to meet a friend named Beth, but my parents wouldn't let me cause I had been out too much that week. But it would've been the shortest time out of all, and they could've arranged it too. Yeah, I'm really disappointed about that, but I'll probably be able to meet her when we go back up in June. So that was the day we took Brayden shopping. Then, Michelle and Kris (her husband), went to a lock down with the youth in their church (they're the youth pastors). We stayed home of course and played monopoly. My sister won. Then a little later, I web cam chatted with Evan and Beth for the better part of an hour, and then went to bed.
 Saturday was the day we were leaving, but we went to Burger King for a 4/7 (It was 2 birthdays) year olds birthday party. XD Their parents are good friends of Kris and Michelle's, and we'd gotten to know them quite a bit, so we were invited as well. Then from there we went to Seattle to catch our plane. And, yes, I wore a Burger King crown all the way home!! XD




The first is me and Katelynn, the next is Brayden, my mom, my dad, Me, Katelynn, and my sister Cora.









 
And this is me at home as I threaten you with my power of summoning banana's. X3

Dose, Anna. She's coming next weekend (the 18th). This is the list of things that we're going to do ^-^
1) Kill more zombies
2) Make a music video
3) Send fan mail to Smosh
4) If it's not freezing, another photo shoot
...5) Put frosting and sprinkles on toast
6) Make art out of goldfish, paper, paperclips, and glitter
7) Cover the fridge in post-its for no reason whatsoever
8) And if we go out of town, we're going to ______ and sitting down by random people
9) Ask people at the grocery store to marry us
10) Glue a quarter to the ground and see how many people pick it up
11) Do the rope prank
12) I.G.? :)
13) Tell Ghost stories
14) Wear our pirate stuff while doing it all (and our ninja stuff if we have any)
15) Convince bacon that we're awesomer than it
16) Write a new song (Pasture of Muppets?)
17) Write 'Da Rules'

Shouldn't be hard. Sounds like a normal weekend with my wife :')
 
I know, I know. We're a bit nutso. But we like it that way. So deal.
Oh, and here are my faves from our most recent photo shoot. ^-^

This one is now her profile picture ^-^

This one, a semi-professional photographer helped me edit.
Yeah, I plan on photoshopping a guy in this one. I think it'd be cute if I can get it right ^-^









































And that's my favorite :')

Honestly? I just spent ten minutes working with this thing to get another space to type without the pictures moving. That was EXTREMELY frustrating and unnecessary and I felt like I was about to cry. Just voicing that out. Bleh.....
ANYWAY. I honestly can't remember what I was going to say when I said "Other Friends" earlier, so we're going to pretend that isn't there.
4! School. Yeah, I'm not sure why this is important either XD Well, I've been doing well.... I'm reading a book.... and fluff. Now you know. You can have your eternal salvation now. Congrats.
6! The play! Willy Wanka and the Chocolate Factory is the play, and I pretty much have an extra part, but I'm still really happy with it. Yes, I'm an Oompa Loompa. And a kid. And a cook. I've learned so much about the voice, and diction, that I'm really quite blown away. I didn't realize that there was so much too it. This is definitely the best instructor that I've ever had and I'm soo happy! :)
I made blueberry pancakes this morning. Just thought I'd let you know.
Next week, Valentines. Oh boy :P
Sorry this post is so long.
Yeah, I'm eating goldfish. Be jealous.
That's all I have to say. Now you know. K. Bye. :3

Nana nana!

Alright. So today, I pretty much ate my whole calorie intake through brownie bites. I'm not sure what it is, cause I'm usually not much of a brownie person, but I downed five every time I walked past the plate that they were on!
But beyond that... my 17 year old brother had his Eagle (scout) coronation Sunday which was pretty cool. Good company and the sort.
So, his girlfriend Amanda was there too, and she gave me a late birthday present (that she forgot to grab for my birthday party) which was an Evanescence piano/guitar book for their album Fallen. It's fun :D
Also, my best friend stayed the weekend, which was really fun of course. We didn't to anything too crazy, but we had a winter/outside photo shoot that turned out soo awesome! Lemme know if you want photos or anything.
In relatively 36 hours, I will be leaving for Seattle :D Super excited for that. But I think I'll still be able to post something up there. Faster internet connection...? Yes!
My 1st semester ends this Friday. Just another thing.
Had a spa night tonight with some friends. I thought it was pretty fun and it's always good to have a different color on your nails and the sort.
I heart my wife :D
Not to much else I believe. So, ta ta for now. :)

Of course...!

I didn't post yesterday because I wasn't finished with my post before I had to go to bed. Bleh :(

Anyway. So far, this year has been super amazing. The time spent with my nephew and sister was fabulous. Ms. MM got to come over which was pretty fun. I've newly discovered a chicken on my window? ahaha. I've made a lot of progress in school so my parents can trust me more as well. And I got to see one of my favorite people and have one of my dreams turn into a reality. :) <3
Although, I will not say more on that cause I don't know who's reading this. But, uh, if you wanna know, hit me up.
Also, my ex sent me an invitation to become friends on windows live? It was a little odd and out of no where (especially since he said he never wanted to talk to me again). But after about 10 minutes of thought, I accepted it. Hopefully we'll be friends. I don't want to be anything more. We did chat last night for like, 20 minutes or so. And to be honest, it seemed to go over really well and it felt natural. Maybe I'll get to see him next week when I go up to Washington? That'd be kind of cool actually.
I do have high hopes for this year. It needs to be good so life can pay me back for last year. As I may have complained earlier (forgot if I did or not...) life pretty much sucked last year. Until like October. Then it slowly made it's way back up. Now it's better than the normal and hopefully it will stay that way. :)

That leaves me to invite you to let me know how your year has been going so far and what you hope happens this year. Hopefully happy things and not for something to eat someone or someone to fall off a bridge. That's not so happy. Haha :)

Well, Imma go paint my nails now.

Much love,
Genevieve

Hey..... you.

Yes, you. I believe I've neglected you for a while. And as much as I hate to say it, I don't have time right now to write a lengthy post. But check back Tuesday! I'm booked tomorrow :P
