Poem~

Blossom, blossom, fall away

Think of hopes from another day

The sun that used to shine is all gone

So keep your head down and let the rain fall upon

Hey guys, this is gonna be a short post. Hope you liked the poem! 

Keep being happy. (:

Woah.

I just realized how long it's been since I've posted! This is definitely going to be a new year's resolution. Honestly, I have no idea where to begin. Well, I suppose I'll start off with school. I go to a charter school called Sage. (Ever heard of it? They have a middle school which I go to.) The people are... Well, they're crazy. TOTALLY INSANE. Oh, how I love my friends. The teachers are a bit off-the-wall as well. They came caroling on Wednesday! At my house! Apparently, they chose a few "colorful" people's houses to go to. (Did that make any sense?) I will admit... I do miss my bestest friends terribly. Middle school is much different from grade school. (HA! Look at me talking like I know everything. And in a British way too....) Meh! I always get so off task! So, I guess I'll be ranting random things below.

I miss you Abby, Emily, and Colton. Come back to me! 

I'm in love with Robert Downy Jr. Sherlock Homes? Yesss.

Thanksgiving was awesome. The food was fantabulous, (Hehe, I stole that from my friend Nate. Love you Nater-Taters!) but we didn't talk much. I guess everyone was too busy stuffing their faces. Oh, how the time flies. 

Speaking of Flies, we read a book called "Lord of the Flies". It was themed for the "Outsiders" portion of learning. It was kind of hard to get through... 

IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS AND THERE'S NO SNOW! Is it cold? Yes. Is there frost? Yes. But is there snow? No! Now I cannot sing 'White Christmas'! What is this witchcraft!? <---- (Influenced by Tristan, Dylan, and Corbin, I now say these things.)

I'm mentally dating Jeydon Wale. Since he's a Wale, I'm his Dolphin. See how logic works? 

My kitty is on my lap as I type this. She's jealous that I'm typing these things and she's not in it. (There you go, Buttercup!) Yeah, that's her name. Isn't it pretty? It was inspired by The Princess Bride. My cat thinks she's a princess. Well, I guess it's my fault since I treat her like one. Huh. Go figure. 

I'm going Christmas Caroling tonight with my best friend Lucy! I've known her since I was two. Three, my mom says. But I say two. When I see her today I'm going to yell, "I love Lucy!" You know, like the show? Never mind... 

I'm off to church now. Hopefully there will be some snow sooner rather than later. Enjoy your break everyone! I'll be posting pictures and writing each day of the break. Hopefully. Don't let Santa scare you when he breaks and enters your house. 

Bye!

Gimme your tots, man!

Recently my mom's friend Cathy visited from Moscow, Idaho. The hometown of my homies, the Vandals. (Save jeering comments for later, please.) We had a BLAST when she came over! She brought her niece, Kiya, over as well. My little sister calls her "Mini Me" and Kiya calls her "Big Me". All and all, the visit was quite entertaining. We went to the zoo, (shout out to Brandon! I saw your cousins there.. They really are funny monkeys.) but the best part.. Was going to McDonalds on the last day with Cathy to pick up hash browns! We ordered TEN, wait, let me size this up bigger. We ordered TEN hash browns. I don't know about you guys, but that's a LOT of hash browns. Yeah, of course we shared with the family! We gave them two hash browns... Just kidding! But of course, it was because we were watching Napoleon Dynamite. I think we scared the poor McDonalds guy. Haha, it was worth it though! I know about every line to that movie. Yes, I'm a nerd. But I'm PROUD of it! Watch this video and I will forever love you. I probably love you anyways, but I'll love you more! PICTURE TIME!

 I'm the blonde on the left. The one on the right is Cathy. :D

Last but not least, derp.
       

Summer

Hello my loyal followers. I apologize for my not posting and such! I still love everyone. So! Updates on the life!

 Unlike many joyful hooligans, I'm not happy summer is here. :( I'd rather be with ALL my friends instead of about to be going separate ways  for junior high. I'd rather be with my AMAZING teacher Mr. Bellomy, I'd rather be in an air-conditioned hallway getting yelled at for not paying attention. 

Yeah, it might seem pretty sad to all of you who are ecstatic to be away from that bottomless hole of suckishness. But to me White Pine was my other home. It was a place of love, inspiration, encouragement, and drama, yes. But all of these things are what make a family. We have our differences and that's what makes us unique. To all the kids my age, I think we'll regret not acting like kids; because we are. We need to be childish sometimes instead of constantly looking at guys or girls, always wanting. We should just let loose and have fun. Maybe that was why we won't miss White Pine. Yes, this is a very cheesy post, yet you should listen to it. I know I'll miss White Pine, and hopefully all my classmates of 6A, 6B, and 6C. I'll miss our little fifth graders, our code languages, and the sounds of the duties' yelling. Yeah, this is the sound of my home. The little kids' screams of joy, the sound of the guys playing football, the girls playing jump rope or laughing at the guys' failure at catching the football. Just kidding, the guys weren't TERRIBLY bad. 

I could rant about how much I miss the school, but it would make this post SLIGHTLY boring. :) On the recent updates, I got a hair cut! I'll post it as my picture soon. But I'm off to my friend's house, everyone wish her a big, virtual "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Thanks for reading my bright green rambling today. :)

WOO! YET ANOTHER RANDOM POST IN THE LAST TWO MINUTES!

Okay. I need to get some of the random out.

Firstly... I LOVE YOU GREASE! (The movie.) And my confessions... Okay... I WAKE UP IN THE MORNIN' FEELIN LIKE P. DIDDY! (No offense, Mr. Diddy.) As for the real ones. I often wake up with messy hair, (WHO DOESN'T?!) I'm obsessed with Napoleon Dynamite (if you hadn't already guessed), I love rainstorms!! I am a Shopoholic... Sorta. Haha. Not really. I DO, however, enjoy going to the mall with friends AND SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. My favorite song ("Lucky" by Jason Mraz, just came on!!!) Haha, anyhoo. BACK. ON. TOPIC. ASHLEY! Hehe. That is somewhat hard for me, yet another one of my imperfections. But hey, our imperfections make us unique and human, right? Another confession.. I am NOT a Twilight fan, nor am I a side choose-r. But.. If I was forced to choose between "Jacob" Or "Edward" I would choose... RILEY! Way cuter than those other COUGH dorks COUGH COUGH. Oh, sorry. Nasty cough there. I'd like some advice and expertise on.. HOW TO MASTER THE GAGA FORM. Woo! She's not my idol or the best person in the world, but I like listening some of her music. (My current favorite pop song(s) in general are 1)"Less" than Perfect- P!nk 2)The Lazy Song- Bruno Mars 3)Animal- Neon Trees 4)Love Like Woe- What's-His-Face 5)Yeah!- Usher and generally anything by Linkin Park. 

This kinda expresses my feelings right now. I feel oddly off-color and not blending in. NO, I am *NOT* emo. Just a little concerned about some things right now. I'll pray for things to get better. Thank you for reading this post! Oh, and in addition to all of your OTHER painstaking homework given by me, I'd like you to tell me what favorite songs of yours are. Thank you my lovies. Woah.. Did I just sound like my mom right there or what!? Haha... SCARY!! D:  
LIVE LONG AND EAT CHOCOLATE! <3

California!

Again, my apologies. But.. CALIFORNIA WAS AMAZING! I came back (somewhat) tanned with the experience of a beach girl. For exploration of surfing waters, that is. I went to a museum and saw Aztec ruins, I went to the beach and found a HUGE shell (With some research, I found it was a snail shell. WEIRD HUH?!)  Seeing the amazing sights, sounds, and smells was amazing. I came back changed. Firstly, (physically) I was tan. Secondly, I am now a vegetarian. I need your encouragement to keep it that way! NO MORE LOVELY BUNNIES MUST BE HARMED!!! Hehe... Anyways. On topic Ashley! I took great interest in the sunset. Maybe one day it would make a great writing topic. Speaking of, I also need ideas on what to write about! It would be very greatly appreciated. Thanks once again for wasting your time on my random posts! <3

RAAHH!!!

Hey everybody!
Where to begin in my hectic life.. (JUST KIDDING!) I've mostly been bored as dirt. (If dirt can be bored.) ... Wait.. can it? ANYHOO! I did go to the mall, though!
I bought neon glasses, black pants, and AMAZING GLOW-IN-THE-DARK-SOCKS! (I have a very strange obsession with socks. Do not judge me.)  If I could find light-up socks, that would be awesome..
So, I want SOMEONE to PLEASE comment below and let me know what their favorite item is that they have an obsession for. I don't care if it's cats, dogs, mustaches, etc. Except Pedro's mustache is mine. No exceptions.

School has been absolutely AWESOME! My teacher is seriously so supercalafragalisticexpealadosiously AMAZINGLY AWESOME, it's a wonder he's not in jail for it. I'm not kidding. WHO DOESN'T WANT A TEACHER WHO RELATES RANDOM TOPICS TO NAPOLEON DYNAMITE? You're ridiculously disturbed if you don't. And if you haven't seen the movie.. You have not lived.

To all my boys out there... GO BASKETBALL! WOOT!

I'm so sorry about this post. It's a bit random, but... I hadn't posted in a while and just wanted to express my "feelings" in.. something. Besides the usual, stereotyped diary.

THANKS FOR READING!
