Spring Break

so spring break is next week, and im gonna be forced to either stay in a hotel room w/ my parents for a week or go camping for a couple nights...can someone just shoot me now?? see, we might be going to Virginia to look at houses for when we move in august, which im ok with cuz my dad is horrible at choosing houses, but i would hafta stay in the same room as them the whole time...if i cant stand being in the same HOUSE as these people, how am i gonna share the same ROOM?? not to mention the same BATHROOM!! im gonna DIE!! ive been trying to convince them to get 2 rooms, but they dont wanna pay for even 1 room...see, we can only go if dad can get the people in charge to pay for the whole trip, but they would only pay for 1 room, which doesnt work for me...of course, they really should pay for 2 rooms cuz the maximum number of people who are supposed to be allowed in a room is 4, and there are 5 of us, but NOOOOOOOOOO!! they cant pay for another room...that would be TERRIBLE!! why should they abide by the rules set forth by the hotel?? so yeah, if we dont end up going to virginia, mom wants to go camping or something so danny will be happy, but they wont let me stay by myself so id either have to go with them or stay at someones house...i hate camping and i can only deal w/ people for so long...like a couple of hours...sure, if its for something ill enjoy, like a mission trip, i can do it, but if its just so my family can go camping, no...so yeah thats my spring break...sucks, huh??

This Sucks

ok, so since recruiting my commissioning team, Grace and Shawna, we've been coming up with quite a few ideas for activities to do with the youth group before i have to leave and go to (ew) Arkansas...so anyway, we have a list of things we could do, but the problem is that our youth pastor doesnt want to do anything!! see, every summer we go on a mission trip to kentucky, but this year, they've decided not to do it because the brains of the trip have "retired" from planning the trip...they're getting a bit old to do it, so the torch has passed along to the youth pastor...of course that would mean changes in just about every part of the trip, but none of us expected to not be able to go altogether!! its not that theres a lack of interest...people come out of the woodwork once we start meetings!! but this man is saying that he wants to "take some time off" from the mission trip so that we can do stuff here in pensacola, which admittedly IS a good idea, but couldnt we do both?? you know, have a few more fundraisers, plan projects around the trip...its pretty obvious that we could do it...we always work harder when it comes time to do something we'll enjoy, so as long as we plan things that we can do without the use of much money, we could be a really active youth group!! and my team and i are more than willing to put things together if the men in charge dont really feel like planning things, which is probably a big part of not going to kentucky...they arent the most reliable people when it comes to getting things done...so yeah, i really think we should start DOING something and not just saying we are, because thats happened way too many times in the past few months...its actually been happening since i moved here in 2006!! i remember very clearly a meeting we had with the youth during my first few months here where we basically just planned whatever we wanted to do in the youth group that year, including multiple theme park visits and a few nursing homes and such...none of which actually happened...im not saying that we should go to amusement parks every few weeks or anything, but im just saying that we need to do SOMETHING fun, as well as something that will help other people...seriously the last thing we did as a group that was fun besides anything that has to do with the mission trip was when we went tubing on the day before school started in 2007...yeah, my FRESHMAN YEAR!! that was so long ago i didnt even have my glasses yet!! i mean sure we DID go bowling sometime around last christmas but we only played like 3 games and about 1/2 the people that went tubing actually participated...something NEEDS to be done, and i think most people in the youth would agree with me...i know of at least 2 people who have just stopped coming to church altogether because of 2 things, one being the "incident" on the way back from the mission trip last summer, and the other being the fact that we DONT DO ANYTHING!!
you know, now that i think about it, could what happened last summer have anything to do with this whole stupid idea of not doing the mission trip?? do they want to stifle any other "revolts" we might be planning against them?? i know last summer was a pretty controversial time, but thats no reason to make not only the youth here, but also the ones in Kentucky, suffer!! what some certain people were thinking back then was totally justified...so justified, in fact, that my father and i actually AGREED on the fact that it was justified!! so why are we not going this year?? are we EVER going?? that trip is what most teens both here and in Kentucky look forward to every summer...so yeah, we really need to think about the kids up in Kentucky...are we REALLY going to deprive them of what may be the only bit of the gospel they hear all year because we dont FEEL like going?? its not like we're UNABLE to!! so yeah, just marinate on that for a bit...peace

Poetry

hey hey hey!! check out my amazing poetry on moontowncafe.com so you can read/comment it!! ok, so its not amazing, but im tired of posting stuff and nobody commenting on it, so could you do me that little favor?? my account is under Dunnfan14 but you might be able to find me under my name...idk...if not, just look for some of my poems: Incomplete, Goodbye, Where'd You Go??, I'm Right Here (no relation to last poem mentioned)...so yeah, enjoy!!

Please Please PLEASE Let Him Be Serious!!

ok just like a half hour ago my dad was all "if u guys wanna stay here and send me up to arkansas thats fine with me!!" so i was all "oh HECK yes!!"...hopefully by now, after all thats happened between myself and my father, you can somewhat sense my excitement at this...so anyway, he followed this statement by adding "if it was only for a year, it would be fine, but 2 years?? problem..." so i was thinking...why dont i stay here for another year?? i mean, ill still be homeschooled cuz, lets face it, i just cant wake up in the mornings!! but if i WERE here for another year, i could at least see my friend more than once a week like i had planned!! plus, it would give me another year to practice my driving before i had to drive from arkansas to florida every weekend!! i honestly am LOVING my new plan...another plus is that i could have a cat!! finally!! after about 4 years w/o a cat in my life, i could have one!! the only reason im not allowed to have one now is beacuse my dad hates animals, but if he were in arkansas, that wouldnt be a problem now would it?? yet ANOTHER pro for this situation is that i would never have to start a new school again!! unless you count college, but i dont...i mean, if i like homeschooling, ill stick with it, but if i dont, i can always try to get back into west florida...i obviously cant do that if im in arkansas!! also, what i think is one of the best things about this scenario is that by the time we would have to go to arkansas, i would be 17...for those of you who dont know, almost every one of my siblings has moved out at the age of 17, which automatically gives me the choice too, right?? and if i have the choice, whos to say i cant live here?? this would mean that i will NEVER HAVE TO MOVE AGAINST MY WILL AGAIN!! EVER!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!! just THINKING about it makes me want to burst with joy!! do you know how long ive been waiting for this day!!?? FOREVER!! oh i really really REALLY hope he wasnt joking!! I MIGHT GET TO STAY IN FLORIDA!!

Live Web Chat

ok people ive been thinking of starting either a series of youtube vids or a web chat every couple weeks or something, but i need opinions on the matter...for instance, i would feel weird doing it by myself, so there has to be someone else involved...anyone interested in being my assistant?? it will basically just be a way to keep everyone updated on my random ideas for my "job" as youth group commissioner and to get more ideas from people...its like a way to connect the youth without actually being in the same room...my hope is that other people who want to be involved in the youth more actively will get accounts on blogger or youtube or justin.tv so that they can express their feelings on what grace and myself are going to improve the youth group...dont get me wrong, im not trying to copy that stupid nick show, icarly, or anything!! this isnt nearly as stupid or random and i really dont care how many people see it, its just to get what i gotta say out there, so comment and tell me what u think!!

WinterJam

okay so winterjam wasnt NEARLY as fun as the year before last (my very first winterjam)...first, we had to wait in line for like EVER, which i dont really mind, but still...then, we couldnt find any good seats, and the only good ones we found were "taken"...the reason i use quotation marks is because the whole night we didnt see anyone sitting there after we asked the people in the surrounding seats if they were free, to which they answered yes...it sucked and i was mad because when hawk nelson finally came on, we were forced out of our seats by some security dude!! then, when we found new seats, ANOTHER security dude comes up and is all "ur not supposed to be here" so we had to move again!! this happened like 3 times before we finally gave up and sat behind the stage...it was horrible because it only happened during the part of the concert i wanted to see the most!! how much crap do i have to put up with just to see hawk nelson??!! so anyway, after the whole thing was done, megan and i planned on getting yet another autograph from the guys (this would be like my tenth!!) but NOOOOOOOOOOO!! instead, mr. killjoy, aka my youth pastor, was all we have little kids w/ us that need to get home...who brings toddlers to a CONCERT!!?? it was hardly a place for KIDS!! PLUS, the "youngsters" didnt even ride in the same vehicle as us, so i think dude just wanted to get outta there...and probably the worst thing was that daniel biro wasnt even at the autograph table, and we brought jaren!! overall, the whole night was kinda sucky, but the good kind of sucky cuz it was kinda fun in a sucky way, ya know?? so yeah...the only cool thing about the night was that we think we saw daniel biro in the elevator...heres the vid:

Friday the 13th

well, todays friday the 13th and the first thing i thought when i woke up was "crap somethings gonna catch fire today" because i have a traumatizing memory from friday the 13th a few years ago...see i had just gotten out of school and my sister picked me up...she needed to get something from the place where she worked at the time, so we decided to stop by the barber shop (her workplace) before we went home...sounds simple huh?? of course, so you can imagine our surprise when we pull up to the intersection by the shop and see a multitude of fire trucks near a thoroughly blackened building and a short, weeping asian woman by the wreckage...apparently, mrs. young's barber shop caught fire earlier in the day and now poor little mrs. young was out of work...this has taught me to be very VERY careful on friday the 13th...id really rather nothing burned down today!! but so far, nothing horrible has happened to me today(knock on wood!!) except that the strap on the cami i was gonna wear today broke and all my gum fell out of the pack and into my bookbag...i was only able to find 4 pieces, one of which was covered in pencil shavings...so yeah i am hoping hoping HOPING that nothing bads gonna happen!! on a side note, i am quite excited about going to winterjam on sunday because i will FINALLY get my "gangster picture" with hawk nelson...exciting, huh?? plus this will be my 1st concert in like 8 months, which is totally unacceptable!! i shouldve been to a concert long before now because that is when i enjoy myself the most...who WOULDNT like being in a room full of loud sweaty people screaming at the top of their lungs?? so yeah thats gonna be FUN!! yeah...well ima go charge my camera now but ill try to write later...
