And a Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Scrooge.

Good morning! I hope you're having a good christmas... Though most of you are probably asleep.
It's sad, i fell asleep (finally) at 10, woke up at 12, layed on my bed trying to get to sleep, but couldn't... I went and checked my stocking and GUESS WHAT I GOT!!!
1. a Sylar action figure <3 Because i'm basically in love with that man.
2. monster suspenders!!!
3. an orange jacket and a shirt that has a smiley face on it with headphones on (like my skull candy's).
4. A really pretty orange journal that i named Spylark <3
5. earings that are totally MY style!
6. A usb drive
7. an Itunes GiftCard
and many more things! yay!
So yeah, i was pretty much about to SCREAM when i saw the Sylar action figure. It was AMAZING. But i couldn't get to sleep after i messed around with everything, so i put in my new Wall-e movie. I haven't let go of Sylar since i opened him... Well, except now because 1) i'm typing and 2) i had to put him in my stocking because i was taking a shower. DUHH.
lol.

So i hope you're having a very merry christmas this year as i am today!

But we musn't forget the true meaning of why we get together and celebrate this holiday.

Relief Next to Me by Tegan and Sara

I miss you now,
I guess like I should have missed you then.
My body moves
Like curtains waving in and out of wind,
In and out of windows.

I can't untangle (Tegan background: I can't untangle)
What I feel and what would matter most.
I can't close an eye, (T: I can't close an eye) can't close an eyelid.
Now there's just no point in reaching out for me.

In the dark, (T: in the dark) I'm just no good at giving relief.
In the dark, (T: oh, in the dark) it won't be easy to find relief.
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.

I'll tell you now,
I guess like I should have told you then.
That thunder moves like dang drawers slamming in my frame,
Slamming in my framework.
I can't untangle (T: I can't untangle)
What I feel and what should matter most.
I can't close an eye, (T: I can't close an eye) can't close an eyelid.
Now there's just no point in reaching out for you.

In the dark, (T: in the dark) I'm just no good at giving relief.
In the dark, (T: oh, in the dark) it won't be easy to find relief.
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.
But I promise this,
I won't go my whole life telling you I don't need.

Never Think by Rob Pattinson

I should never think
What's in your heart
What's in our home
So I won't

You'll learn to hate me
But still call me baby
Oh love
So call me by my name

And save your soul
Save your soul
Before your TOO far gone
Before nothing can be done

I'll try to decide when
She'll lie in the end
I ain't got no fight in me
In this whole damn world
Tell you to hold off
You choose to hold on
It's the one thing that I've known

Once I put my coat on
I coming out in this all wrong
She standing outside holding me
Saying oh please
I'm in love
I'm in love

Girl save your soul
Go on save your soul
Before your too far gone
And before nothing can be done

Cause without me
You got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on
Without me you got it all
Without me you got it all
So hold on

LOVE THIS SONG.

P.s.

So you know like a month or two ago my brother brought my bike over to someones house and never brought it back?

Well, it's back now! Lol...
we got it back like 2 weeks ago.
silly jake.

Citywide Rodeo <3

Citywide rodeo, you set on the stage
Where all the clowns will go when they feel their age

(chorus)

I know that you think you're not good for anything
The world makes you feel so small
Get on your wooden horse
This is a ride, not a fight
No need to save face, say goodnight, Grace
"Good night, Grace."

There's dust on the stadium seats, there's dust in your hair
You wonder how fast you'll go when you hit the air

(chorus)

And oh, isn't it strange how things can change you?
And oh, isn't it plain that some things unname you
So don't ask anybody else.

Citywide rodeo, step into your car
Look up at the indigo and pick out your star.

(chorus)

"Citywide Rodeo" by The Weepies

This kind of explains how i feel right now. It's a very slow song, and the chorus explains me right now so well.

I don't know where i'd be without music and friends. Really.
I think i wouldn't be the person i am today... I know that isn't much, but i appreciate everything my friends do for me.

And i finally found a friend who understands me!!!
She's amazing, she goes through everything i do, and somehow we still manage to be happy around each other.
Miranda rocks. :) <3
I'm so happy for her and the good things that are happening in her life. She deserves it.

bye.

I have 2 turkeys.

My friends made me hand turkeys! I feel so loved!
WOOT!
Thanksgiving break started today, and guess where i'm going with a bunch of friends!!!
TWILIGHT! I'm so flipping excited! ^_^

Did anyone watch house last night? It was amazing, no?
Yo Queiro leer un libro.

Yeah, i did just speak spanish.

okay, so you wanna know what a good band is?
The Weepies. They're amazing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4sa2HoXpsE
That's one of my favorite songs. Yep.

another good band is Tegan and sara.
they're good.

LATER!

WAKE UP!

It's 4:57!
Time to get up and get ready for ballroom!
Of course you're tired, but YOU HAVE TO FACE IT!
Woot!
Why am I so peppy, you ask?
Well, I got up at 4:30 and i. am. hyper!!
Just getting reared up for another day in ballroom (where they call me Energizer Bunny)!
WOOT!

I'm glad i got to sleep, or else I WOULD BE WOOOORSE! *runs around, waving arms in a fluid/hyper motion*

I feel loved

I have so much fun sometimes!!!
lol
Like sunday, David made me (on accident, it was mostly my fault but yeah.) smack my head against the wall. It was so funny! and then ashley and i always come up with half-baked ideas of nonsense. It's so fun!!!
haha
And don't forget our twilight spoof me and lauren are going to do soon.
we're so excited for twilight, it's not even funny.
AND PLATYPUS READS MY BLOG!!
I love that monotreme.
lol.
yeah, i need to go write in my dournal then go to bed. I have ballroom tomorrow and i don't want to be grouchy!
:)
nighty night!
<3 Rickkie.

Monotreme-an egg-laying mamal

Dournal- A journal that is not a diary, but not a journal because you tell it too many secrets to call it a journal... But it's not a diary!

Random post in the month of November

Hey everybody!

I've been feeling very discouraged lately.
Other than the fact that my hair is now red, i have THE coolest hat ever, and i got more skull candy headphones (!!!!!!!)...

I've been feeling very discouraged because of this:
(yeah, it's kind of stupid, but deal)
I know who practically likes in my little (big really...) group of friends, yet no one likes me.
It's like

COMPLETELY stupid, but
COMPLETELY true.

Bahh.

And i haven't been having dreams lately...
*sob*
The one thing i looked forward to that i knew would come has left me. WTC IS THAT ABOUT?!

i have to go to ballroom now.
Later.


-Courtney: the girl with the hat.

Wooot!

Yay! The Night of Shakespeare went AWESOME!
It was great. I'm so happy.
I was also on Pride TV!!!
WOOT!
Haha.
Yeah.

So...
Yeah....

Oh my gosh, I love The Notebook.
I watched it last night, it was amazing.
So is Made of Honor. I watched that last night too.
^_^

I'm bored.
Are you?

I'm waiting for 2 so I can watch General Conference!!!

I'm going to work on my hat, or sleep.
I don't know yet...


So I might do the school competition Reflections this year. Maybe photography... Maybe drawing.
Idk yet.
:)

Yeah.
So i'm going to go now


BYEEE!!!

Yo.

What's crackin'?

I'm sick. Blech. But i'm going to school tomorrow. I love english, gym (how can i love gym? I used to hate it... odd), ballroom, spanish, AND drama.
And I can't miss it because we have NIGHT OF SHAKESPEARE tomorrow night, and my group that i'm directing really needs to get it polished :)
and now i'm in the scene, so yeah.
:)
Speaking of scene, i need to go make holes in my jeans for the other scene i'm in. :)

DUDE! I played Amped 3 all day today. It was so much fun. I beat it about 15 minutes after my brothers got home from work/school. I started it 2 days ago, and had NO time both days before today. But now i'm really tired from staring at a TV all day. It's also because i'm very sleep deprived, and it doesn't help that I can't sleep past 8/9 on weekends. This sucks. :(
oh well, i like getting up early, actually. I love riding my bike at 10. It's just so refreshing... Even though my brother brought the white bike over to our neighbor's house and never brought it back. WTC?! Oh well.

So i have to go do the jeans now. So have a wonderful evening!

Changes.

So there's been some changes.
Some for the good, some for the worse.
I think the good ones are immensely smaller than the worse ones.
Like, my best friend in fifth grade has change SO much...
and i miss him...

But I know i'm going to have a good bday morning. I'm in ballroom and i LOVE it! I'm finally getting better at following and not leading myself.
It's great ^_^
Maybe i'll try out for the team.
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME
I kind of want to do fencing though.
Who knows... :)

Hi!!!

I'm really bored.

I should be doing homework, but I don't feel like it.
So I watch this Youtube guy named Dan Brown. I think he is the funniest guy on youtube that I have seen. (Keyword Guy :D)

Uhm... There was something I wanted to tell you.
OH YEAH!
So we had family dinner last night, where we have the cousins (or aunts and uncles but they don't live here) over and we eat dinner. :D Pretty obvious. So anyways. I had my AMAZING skull candy Headphones on the coffee table and my cousin Brian came in. And he saw the Headphones and he asked "So do you like skull candy?" and I said "Heck yes, they're amazing." And he said "I'm best friends with the guys who created them, so I should bring some buds over for you." and I was like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! He said he gets hooked up with a bunch of gear and that he'd be happy to give me some. It's awesome.

AND IT RAINED TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy.
My best friend (okay, that's starting to offend people. One of my best friends) and I stood out in the rain and smiled. We were so happy :D I love rain.
You have no idea.
See, I come from a state where it used to rain all the time (I'm not talking about washington rain, just more rain than here) and I loved it :D
And today, it was cold rain. And it was amazing.

:D I'm so happy now. My day's just been good.

Do you like rain? Do you like the sun? The Snow? How about the leaves falling? I would LOVE to know :D

There's a chello player in my room.

And her name is Ariel.
We're having a sleepover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha we went riding bikes today at like 7, and we decided we were going to go hang out with david because he never came over (it turns out he couldn't), so we were like "we're coming to visit you." and he was like "cool, Derek's here so come over." and we did. Then we jumped on the trampoline and I almost kicked Ariel's head off. Oops haha. it was actually really fun.
Then we had hot chocolate and watched Avitar. That show is so demented... Ha.
When we got home we watched Baby Mama.
I fell asleep but I've seen it before and i LOVE it. Yeah, Ariel kept waking me up by laughing... and Derek was texting me.
Haha, i didn't tell this to ariel yet, but when I was nodding off, i kept hearing the sound of my phone and the alert when i get a text. So I got all paranoid that I was missing a bunch of texts and that my friend was going to kill me.
ha.

I'm so weird.
Now ariel's drawing something and she won't tell me what it is.
Sad.
Before she was drawing a chello.
But now she's done with that, and moved on to something else; with my awesome headphones (thor) on top of her head with no music, because my ipod's in my Found Ihome.

Did I ever tell you I found my Ihome?
Yeah. i did.
It was on the other side of my bed for some reason.
It was so flipping weird.
wow.

Hellogoodbye is a good band. :D

Yeah.
So, I just realized that my blog is pretty bland. it has no pictures or ANYTHING. So maybe I'll add pictures randomly. :D That would be amazing. :O

Okay, so, yeah, i'm going to go mess with facebook :D

later.

Yo.

Spore=amazing.

And i thought music could be my only love in life, but spore proved me wrong. 

P.s. If you read this Platypus, I LOVE YOUR FAMILY TREE!

YAY!

Okay, well, sorry this is so short, but I'm gonna go watch my shows.  :D  Later.

SPORE.  Check it out.

Seniors!

I think I have the most fun hanging out with Seniors.

Like, they have the funniest jokes ever...
and I laugh at them, even though they're about Sophmores... :D

And I'm a sophmore.

Oh oh oh! Did I tell you i'm really happy today!!!
Except, I still need to find a song for the FT. (Fox Trot)

I gave my bestie my Idea for it because it's his favorite song, so I need to find one now.
I just don't know what he's looking for. If I'm lucky, It's not till next week that I need to have it in, but I still need to look for something.

GW! (Guess what!)

I'm directing a scene in drama 3!!!
I'm nervous, scared, excited, happy, nervous, confused, ecstatic, and pretty much every other emotion I can't think of right now.
I'm so excited to do it though. I love Shakespeare, and I love acting.
And I'm not just directing.
I'm also helping out my friend on his scene by being a small part, since I have no roll in mine :D Which I'm absolutely fine with :D

Yeah, the "Night of Shakespeare" is on October 1st so we have a little bit more than a month... And we have some great people in our group that I know will get it done.

I hope.

But I'm SO excited!!!
And i'm also auditioning for the Shakespearean festival (aka the "blood bath") on Sept 9th. If i can memorize my monologue.
:D
I hope I can.
If I make it into the Shakespearean Festival, I think i'd have a heart attack because I would be so happy! Oh my gosh, now i'm hyper.
Go cookies!

Owie.

My seperaters hurt really bad.

I had a good day though :D
It was fun.
and picture day.
Which i didn't know about till last night at like 10.
so I was all freaking out and junk like that.
It was pretty depressing.

Seperaters...

Eww. I don't feel good, my gag reflex is going OFF the charts, there are rubber bands in my mouth, and that means i'm only getting closer to my braces...

Rubber bands are very annoying. I really want to die right now.

Any help?

Goodbye Olympics

As the flame goes down, another year of Olympics is over.


You know, it's really sad to see the Flame go out. This year is the first year I've watched a huge amount of it.
I wasn't really into the Olympics before.
This year was just really cool to me.

Michael Phelps did a phenomenal job at swimming, 8 medals: all gold.
Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson Rocked the Gymnastics.
Hyleas(is that how you spell her name?) fountain winning Track.
Both Volleyball teams beat all of their competition.
Gold, Silver, and Bronze for the US in Fencing.
All the countries that got a medal, and the ones that tried their hardest.
And China, for Being a great host (and building the awesome Water Cube :D)
And all the other ones Just did Phenomenal.

I love the Olympics.

And not just Summer Olympics!
Winter, too.

I like Curling, and Speed Skating.
And everything else.
I want you to tell me, what's your favorite Summer Olympic sport? What's your favorite Winter Olympic sport?

But I have to go and sleep. Getting up at 4:30. :D

Why does this always happen to me?

So, I go out of my room to see if my mom's home, and I see my brother with a HUGE nerf gun, and then I see a package on our coffee table, and my sister's like "There's your hair straightener." So I freak out because i'm really happy. And I was getting really aggravated because i've been waiting for 2 weeks. Then my sister's like, "But mom says you have to do groceries first." So i run into the kitchen and put the groeries away in Record Time, and When I sit down and grab my box, and open it, i pull out the box, and it's blue, so i'm like "okay, maybe it's just a blue box." But i was a little skeptic because on the pictures they show, the box is orange. So i push the inside part of the box out, and the straightener is blue. And I say to my mom "This isn't my straightener." And I got really mad.
I'm so mad, it's not even funny.
The sad thing is, when I was putting away groceries, i thought "Wouldn't it stink if my straighteners the wrong color?"
And then it is.

GYAH!!!

3rd day of school.

Hey friends!
It's the THIRD day of school! I've no officially been through all of my classes now.
I'm actually getting ready right now. Haha. I'm almost done... I just have to do my makeup and put my shoes on... and switch backpacks (long story)... and find my lunch (yum. Chinese)... and finish this blog... and find my headphones.

So it turns out, I don't have time to write on my blog today. So I have to go.
BYE!

Oh p.s. Good luck to all the highschoolers (like me) who are nervous for the next year...

And the middle schoolers.

Junk!

Swimming is the best thing created on earth.
Well, that is, other than Reading...
And music...
And friends.
And orange hair straighteners.

Speaking of orange hair straighteners, I just bought one off of Ebay! New in the box for $30. Well, $40.50 if you count s&h. It comes TOMORROW! I'm so happy. My brothers BEST friend is coming all the way from Virginia tomorrow, too. He and his girlfriend. It was a gift from her. She's pretty awesome. :]

Okay, so who's read Breakinig Dawn?!
It's AWESOME.

I love it so much.
I love that series.
But not as much as I love The Spiderwick Chronicles. Those are the bomb-diggity. HAHAHA.

My sister and cousin are going to see The Dark Knight tomorrow.
*hangs upside down* I want to go SO BAD.

But I won't bother their "Bonnie, Ben Bonding time." Instead i'm stuck here cleaning. my. room.
Eww.
Double eww.
Infinity eww.
EPIC eww.

It's all because the friends that visited us last week trashed my room by dressing up.

And it doesn't help that my trundle is out, and my nightstand is NOT where it's supposed to be. Nor my fan!!!!!!!!!
Agh! OCD(cdo) kicking in! GYAHH!

Okay, before I freak out anymore, i'm going to go clean my room, move my bed (it's by a wall that juts out, so I can put my nightstand there, BUT WHERE IS MY LAMP GOING TO GO?! AGUH!), take a shower, and make a hat(heehee, i'm working on a "Popcorn Bobble Hat" on the loom. It's really time consuming... I'm pretty close to being done, though).

"So goodbye, adue, parting is such sweet sorrow, doors over there, avertierszen, and farwell, goodbye." *slams door* -Willy Wonka(I don't know if that's all of it... or... right... but, yeah, you get the picture.)

Seriously, I'm about to flip.

MY IHOME IS GONE!!!!!!!!!! That's right, my beloved Ihome of 9 months is missing, including it's Ipod... My dad woke me up to walk my dog (because obviously, my brother who gets the money to do the chore can't wake up to do it.)(My mom says it's "too much of a hassel to wake him up.... psh) so I reluctantly get out of bed, and walk my dog. So while she's doing her business, I think to myself "I didn't hear my music when I woke up. Maybe somebody turned it off when i was asleep the FIRST time Mom woke me up. I'll have to investigate." So i get to my room, and si, my music is off... But my Ihome isn't there either. It's coard is. But not him it's self... So I go look in the bathroom (because i like to take showers listening to it)(but, i didn't take a shower last night, and i clearly remember falling asleep after putting down breaking dawn next to my Ipod) and then I take a shot at seeing if my sister had it. She was awake so I ask her, and NO. She doesn't have it.
So I go back to my room and investigate more.... And to make things worse, MY PHONE IS GONE TOO! oh my gosh... I'm so not happy right now. See, i'm not as mad about my phone... Because I can live without it... But i CANNOT live without my music.... It's the only thing that keeps me sane, lately... WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!

I may be sad, but I'm not weak.

MY CHUCK TAYLOR CONVERSE ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's unfathomable to you how happy I am right now.
OH MY GOSH!
I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!

They're awesome, red, green, blue, purple, and white, and black!!!!!!!!!
they're amazing.

Fireworks outside my window.

Howdy! Okay, that was L-A-M-E. Let's start over.

Hey guys! It's Rickkie Swan. I'm really happy! My friend invited me to ride bikes with him to the high school tomorrow. Haha. I love riding bikes. Too bad my mom's broke. It's a really nice red one with really cool wheels. Right now I'm using my dad's. It's good, but I like my mom's. Once my dad fixes it, my brother and I can go riding around. Oh well.

Anyways. So my friend invited me to go ride bikes to the high school. I'm pretty excited. I've only been to the High school twice, so it'll be a new experience to RIDE BIKES to it. My brother and I will probably be doing that for a few weeks next year. Haha. He'll probably hate it, but I think I'll like it. Well, I've never actually ridden a bike with a backpack on, so I think it'll be something fun to try out. Haha.

Speaking of bikes, I love beach cruisers! I've been looking for a beach cruiser for like FOREVER. I want one so bad. Especially an orange one :P
Orange is my favorite color, if you haven't noticed. :P

Okay, I need to go to bed now.
Later, hater.

Sunday-Night Slam Down.

Hey guys!
I don't have very long to talk because my Home-Teachers are coming like, now.
haha.

So I'm writting a story called One Word. It's about this guy who's twin sister was kidnapped and they have like this physic connection with each other. They can feel each others pain, emotions, and best of all, they can like, talk to eacother through their minds... do you know what I mean?
Eh, anyways, they can only "say" one word to eachother though.

Yeah, after i fix it, i'll post the prologue.

Bohemian Raphsody

I love this song. It's just amazing how Freddie used all of the beats.


Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

Umbrellas on a Sunny Day.

Hey everybody.
Usually by now, I would've neglected my blog, and never written anything. But I really like this blog. It's pretty awesome.

It's because I like to talk. And tell people things. I also like hearing about peoples days. I like knowing they're happy. And trying to help.

Here's a deal, tell me what makes you happy. What gets you up in the morning. It could be anything. What are the 5 things that just makes you feel good inside?

I'll tell you what makes me happy.
1: I love rain. I love the smell(even though that sounds odd), the noise it makes, and just how wet it is.
2: My friends. They are my life support. I don't know what I would do if I lost my friends(again)! There's never a day that I wish one of my friends WEREN'T my friends. Period.
3: Laughing. It's the best thing to cheer anyone up, I think. I love how no matter what happens in life, you will always laugh again.
4: My family. They know what I like, and Know what I don't like.
5: Someone telling me I look beautiful. Not just beautiful, maybe even Pretty, or Cool.

So go ahead! Share what makes you happy.
It can be from, Wearing a helmet, to drinking soda. Running around with friends, to using an umbrella on a sunny day. Whatever makes you happy, I want to know. Maybe we'll have something in common, who knows!

Lyrics To Tree Huger.

Hey guys! This is one of my favorite songs.
I know most of it, I just need to find out the French part :P

Here it is.

TREE HUGER by Kimya Dawson.

The flower said I wish I was a tree,
The tree said I wish I could be
A different kind of tree.
The cat wished that it was a bee.
The turtle wished that it could fly,
Really high into the sky.
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.

(chorus)
And in the sea there is a fish.
A fish that has a secret wish.
A wish to be a big cactus,
With a pink flower on it.

And in the sea there is a fish.
A fish that has a secret wish.
A wish to be a big cactus,
With a pink flower on it.

And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,
So dry and lonely,
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort.

Et le chacalot a dit:
"Je voudrais être un yéti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et m'envoler loin d'ici"
Mais le yéti a dit:
"Je veux être un monstre marin
Pour pouvoir sauter dans la mer
De tous les requins"

And the rattlesnake said,
"I wish I had hands so
I could hug you like a man."
And then the cactus said,
"Don't you understand,
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
A hug would be nice,
But hug my flower with your eyes."

The flower said, "I wish I was a tree,"
The tree said, "I wish I could be
A different kind of tree,
The cat wished that it was a bee,
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.

And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.

And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,
So dry and lonely,
That the creatures all
Appreciate the effort.

I should probably be sleeping right now.
But there's been SO much on my mind that, I can't sleep. I'm not going to talk about it, but I still need to think about stuff other than what's keeping me awake.

So, I'm going to girl's camp wensday. Oh, i need to pack for that... It's going to be pretty exciting.
Other than the fact that my ordered chucks won't be here till the DAY I leave for it. How cruel is that? I mean, I'll have to wait 3 extra days, and who knows if my family will keep them closed. You know, I shouldn't be this mad. I'm really excited for it. I should be thinking about how happy i'll be to see Platypus for 3 DAYS SOLID and eat yummy camp food, and talk all night about the fun things we did in camp.

I really shouldn't bother about what keeps squeezing back into my mind. I have so many more things to be thinking about, it's not funny. What with school, girls camp, all the family and friends visiting, church... Everything. It shouldn't be so high up on my list of things to think about. Ever. I mean-- augh!!

Please don't ask about it.

About girls camp. I'm so EXCITED. It's unfathomable how excited I am. Honestly. We also get hoodies that are RED! I would've been happier if they were orange, but, oh well. They still must BE AWESOME!
We made shirts for my last year (insert smile here.)(where is smile?)(gosh dang it.)(I hate my life.)(Scratch that, I hate being distracted.)(Gyah!! i'm being distracted again.)(bye.). It was pretty spifftacular. TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

The sad thing is, my friend Tiffers(Rambo the first) is leaving sunday. I'm pretty much absolutely depressed. I'm going to miss my Rambo friend. We've actually never seen rambo. We just always wear bandannas like rambo did, and Dicky called us Rambo. So we were like GO TEAM RAMBO! and it stuck. I'm sorry, we're weird.

My sheets are like, spazing out. I leave my house with a nice sheet(as in put on all the corners, if you understand what i'm saying..) and come back and the sheets halfway off. L-A-M-E.

I think i'm so bored i'm going to write a list of all my best friends.
Girls:
Platypus.
Weser.
Adnarim.
Manager.
Rambo I.
Rowdy. (ray ray)
Fairy Mae.
Guys.
Charlie Brown. (Day Day)
5.
Max.
(uhh....)(I can't think of ANYONE.)


I guess that's all...
I think I can truely call them my BEST friends. Really. My whole 8th grade year was, bull, you could say.

Okay, so I guess you should know, that i ABSOLUTELY ADORE Grease. The musical.
It's amazing.
I've never seen it, but I love Wicked, also.
I'm kindof warming up to Les Miserables.(is that how you spell it? Idk... augh. Where're my musical-loving friends when I need them?)(only heard songs.)
And, though i've only heard a couple songs, I really like Jekyll and Hyde.

But my non-musical favorite songs are:
Almost Lovers.
I hate this song.(title of song.)
7 things.(It's miley cirus, but it's the only song I like of her.)
The whole entire Juno soundtrack.
Sugar, we're going down.
Roots before Branches.

There are others but I just can't think at 12:30 anymore.


I really should be sleeping...
Eh. Whatever.
I don't give a batman.

Oh oh oh!
The joker is AMAZING!
"I can make this pencil disappear."
SLAM!
haha.
"Why so serious?"
That's actually really morbid.
And gross.
I almost screamed really loud.

Augh.

Here's a quote that my friend gave me, and it makes me happy... Really happy :D

"So much of me comes from what i've learned from you, You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart. And so whatever way our stories end, just know you have rewritten mine by being my friend... Who can say if I've been changed for the better? No, i've believe i have been changed for good." -Wicked.

I can't explain to you how awesome that makes me feel. I don't care if he's said it to a bunch of people, I just care that he sent that to me.
He's really my best friend, I can honestly say that. Him and P.




Yeah...

I guess I'll go now.

Have a good day, my friends.
-Cor Cor.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Chuck Taylor Converse!

Are the best thing ever created in the fifties. Well, other than those late fifties dresses. :D I have been known through the year as the girl with the orange chucks. ORANGE! is the most amazing chuck color ever! See, i'm not known for my Awesome writing skills, or my singing(ha!). No, I'm known as the girl that wears her orange chucks with anything. No joke. I'm always wearing those. Sometimes I wear flip-flops when it's not the day to wear chucks, but Oh, well.
Do you think it's wrong that you don't want your friend to get orange chucks after seeing your own? Is that like, really mean? Because, what if they're your thing? Please, write your beliefs in a comment.

Batman=<3

Though Creepy at many times, I absolutely LOVED Batman: The Dark Knight. I've never enjoyed such a freaky movie. See, I'm not one with the Scary movies. They just make me have nightmares. But this movie was amazing. Heath Ledger and Christian Bail(how do you spell his last name?) are the best Joker/Batman pair ever used. Ledger had that twisted, freakish Joker character down to the dot, and Bail knew how to work it as batman. :D Too bad Ledger died. He would've been a great Joker if they made any other ones.
My brother doesn't think there'll be Joker in the movies now that Ledger's dead, but I think they'll just find someone who can do what he did. Have you seen all the Batman actor's? There are so many, why not just get a new joker! They should just do that... Yeah.
Speaking of Christian Bail, He's in terminator Salvation!!!
Oh yeah! I'm so happy! I love terminator and he'll be a great John Connor. I hope it's not rated R like the other ones. Heehee. Don't worry, I watched the edited ones. :D Haha, my other brother and I were joking that they should have Arnold Shwartzinegar Clones through-out the whole movie. It was hilarious!
Well, I'm going to go now.
Later, hater.

Swan Central

((Props to max for the awesome title today))

By reading this blog, you are taking yourself into a world only known to my family, and few of my friends. You will hear of many things that i think are funny though you might think is very random. So, if you dare, go ahead and read.

Ello! My name is Courtney, but please, call me Rickkie. I am pretty much the weirdest person you will ever meet.
My hair is never down.
Unless I feel like I want it to be. It's usually in a bun. I am member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I pretty much FLIPPING love it.

My favorite word is Flipping. I have a fetish for anything orange. Especially my orange chucks. :D But sadly, they are becoming old and wearing out. But don't fear, I customized new ones and they are one their way. But they're not all orange, even though when I have the money, I'm totally making new orange ones :D

I hate it when people wink at me. It's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. So please, never do it to me or I will scream. Just ask my friends.

I have the most AMAZING family on the face of the planet. And the best ward ever. And don't mind me if I flip out once in a while. It's just what I do.

So, I must go, Max is waiting for me to post it.
Later!
