Funny moments today with DK

We were sitting on the couch watching Indiana Jones with Josh and Sanya and it was getting to parts where I'd say, "Sanya don't watch!" cause it'd be blood or something and then DK would put his hand over my eyes...

• Sanya: "Rachel why are you using your FOOT to cover my eyes?"/Me: "Cause I can't reach with my hand." (what I really meant---I'm holding DK's hand and I'm NOT letting go! ;D)/"But...your foot STINKS."
• We were all on the floor eating dinner and there was another icky part so DK put his hand over my eyes and I said: "I can't eat with your hand over my eyes! I can't see my mouth!!!...WAIT..."/DK: "I can't see my mouth either."/"...you know what I MEANT. I can't see my FOOD."/"Uh-huh, sure..."

Another blood part came up so I went in stood in the corner (I felt a lot like Shep ;D), and my phone was there so I grabbed it and decided to text Cara about how I wasn't watching the movie cause it was all bloody...later in the car when we're driving DK home...

• DK: "Oh I got a text message." It was quiet for a moment and then he leans over and shows me what the message says..."Hi Cara! Right now we're watching a movie and it's at a bad part so I'm not watching. :)" OOPS.

Later on in the car...

• DK: "So what were you talking to Cara about yesterday that you PROMISED you'd tell me today?"/Me: *sigh* "She was checking in and seeing how long I was refusing to hold your hand..."/"...ok?"/"It was payback for the prank. Guess you STILL haven't learned your lesson..." I crossed my arms and shifted away./"Oh I learned my lesson."/"Okay!" I shift back over and put my head on his shoulder./"That was easy..." ;D

Then checking the whole dominant thumb thing...HAHA!

And also my many bowls of peanut M&M's...told you they were my weakness. :P

MY STUD MUFFIN!

So I was talking to my Stud Muffin and I realized...I dunno how I met him!!! So me and Stud Muffin talked and this is our OFFICIAL story (oh, sidenote, he calls me vanilla cupcake, that's my nickname):

In a previous life I was really a vanilla cupcake and he was a stud muffin and we were in the same oven being baked in a bakery and we were created out of the same ingredients by the same baker. That is how we met. And then we were sold and eaten and reborn as Rachel and Richie!!!

HAHAHAHAH!!! That story is ALL Richie! He is a GENIUS. ;D

The answer below IS NOT correct!

So Cara's over at my house right now and we're working on our PreCalc. packets and uh...we were having some trouble so we went to the all-knowing computer, and guess what? The computer doesn't know everything!!! Read this:

The problem to solve is:
1/(x-2)>=3/(x+1)
First, let's work on the left hand side of your inequality, the 1/(x-2)This means, for instance, to see if it can be simplified at all.x-2 evaluates to x-2
Sorry, at this time the divisor may be a monomial AT MOST (e.g. contain only 1 term).
The answer below IS NOT correct.
1/(x-2) evaluates to 1
So, all-in-all, the left hand side of your inequality can be written as: 1

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Good times... ;D

Cheat! Cheat! Cheat!

DK is cheating on me with...chocolate layered CHEESECAKE.

S

It's kinda nice when you get an unexpected email from an old friend, start up a really good conversation, and find out that people really DID care, and that they still do.

It's a nice feeling. :]

Worry=Anger

Sorry, that post came off rough.

My worry is coming out as anger.

I'm worried that Shep's gonna stay P.O.ed at me for something this silly.

Burst my parade...

Well ya know, I was having the time of my life with that conversation. I was laughing SO HARD. The whole pretending to be serious thing with the agents and all of that, but let me have my fun? OH NO. Culprit 002 in question has to go and get all P.O.ed at me and burst my PARADE. Well right now I'm just as P.O.ed back at him. I'm mad that HE'S mad. I was having fun, I didn't want anyone to get UPSET over it. I was playing around, thought I was being funny, having a good time, I wasn't trying to get all up and personal about ANYTHING.

Ok, I'm really not being fair here. I guess from his perspective you could take the conversation the wrong way or get offended or upset by it, but honestly? IT WAS A JOKE. Yeah, ok, I'm sorry you got all touchy about it, but right now I'm mad that you rained on my bubble.

So I'm sorry if this isn't a totally sincere apology, cause you know what? I had fun, and I'm not gonna apologize for THAT.

I will apologize if I made you upset though, cause that's not what I was trying to do. I was having a little fun.

Sorry, won't do it again. No more fun for Rachel, it hurts people's feelings.

Agent 008

Agent 008 and I have...a SPECIAL relationship. Which is why I was greatly disturbed tonight, while in my office, I had the unfortunate pleasure of reading this...

Me: Tell him I say, "May the force be with you"

Oh yeah, we're just that AWESOM.

You know...

...sometimes when you're typing certain things it makes COMPLETE sense and you go back and read it and think...would it be possible for me to be a LITTLE more confusing???

Me: Yeah well, it's usually not too bad unless you're trying to be distracted but then what's supposed to be the distraction ends up distracting you to what you were originally trying to be distracted from. Very frustrating.

Inutil

"I will do what it takes, or all my work, all my life...everything I've sacrificed will have been useless."

JFKLAS;F

"yeah, but it gets OLD. Seriously Rachel...he didn't take a breath"

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Justifiable

Peanut M&M's are totally justifiable. There's the yummy chocolate goodness with a little crunch of health in the middle. YUM.

Sidenote: this is my 200th post. :] :] :]

Catchup!

Yes, catchup. Not as in ketchup or catsup (why is it even called CATSUP? If you put a space between the words it sounds gangsta or something like that, "Cat...sup!" Ok, who in the world is Cat??? I for one would like to know. And then if you put the space AFTER the 'S' it sounds like, "Cats...up." And that makes even LESS sense cause it sounds like the cats are up for something...like they're up to bat? And who has ever heard of a cat up to bat? NO ONE!!! Or it sounds like some sort of ninja commanding their ninja cats to jump up on a roof or something...goodness, stupid catsup). Catchup as in CATCHUP on all that I haven't been writing about.

Ok...well, to start, did I EVER write about HERSHEY???? Me thinks no...which is incredibly uber depressing. Ok, quick sum up of Hershey: it was beyawesom. Wind Ensemble did pretty good, bus rides were incredibly fun, it was HYSTERICAL to see Maria's reaction to changing on the bus---she's an exchange student so when all the girls got back on the bus and just started taking their clothes off she had a mini heart attack. Coasters were great (not as good as Six Flags though), running around the park was AMAZING (no one could keep up with me and DK, we were SPEED DEMONS!!!!!), food was good, bus ride home was even better. ;D

Well I just condensed what would have been a 1.84 mile long post into a paragraph. A+ for the girl who thought fishing involved straw hats, overalls (one side broken of course), and flannel shirts.

Let's see...what else am I missing...uh...OH. CONVENTION. Uh-oh...dunno if the amazingly short human can condense this one...

Ok, it was...to infinite and beyond beyawesom. There you go. That covers the entire week. Yup. Monday was waking up at 2 in the morning to get to church at 3:30, then amazing bus ride (I am just the luckiest person alive, the most amazing people in the world decide to hang around with little ol me, emphasis on the LITTLE), then CEDAR POINT. AHHH. No adults...no NOTHING. Just my group of homies (me, Kassandra, Julianne, Selene, and Anna) and the coasters. I fell in love more than once that day, those coasters whoop serious butt.

Then Tuesday was the 1 1/2 hour long epic game of Uno. Me, Ryan, Jason, Jordan, Nate, and Danielo (COOLEST NAME, he's our intern) played some of the BEST Uno I have ever seen in my life. And I've seen a lot of good Uno. Trust me.

The week was just....EEEEE!!!! (that's my uber uber uber excited noise sound)

Worship twice a day, great meals, amazing friends, awesom times, fantastic volleyball games (I got quite good at that Matrix backbend, let me tell ya), goofy pictures, and insane ab workouts in the middle of the convention center where everyone walking past thinks we're complete lunatics...which we are.

Great times at the hotel too, I met a Canadian! His name was Jordan, and was pretty good at playing guitar. We (me, Ryan, Julianne, and Selene) met him the first night when we were playing Cud (LOVE THAT GAME) in the conference room. He became instantly infatuated with Julianne and followed her around like a puppy the rest of the week. It was A-DOR-A-BLE.

One of the best weeks of my life.

And get this...one of the PASTORS, at a MENNONITE CONVENTION, taught an entire stadium how to do the Booty-X. It is this AWESOM dance move. Basically, you just move your hips in the shape of an X. Ask me to show you sometime...it's so much fun!

That wasn't quite a mile...was it? Few paragraphs...I'm pretty proud of myself.

Oh! HAHA! My vacation! I should probably right about that, huh? Well it was pretty good. Didn't really feel like a vacation though, cause the place we went you had to pay BIG BUCKS to do anything so we just stayed in the house most of the time and played bunches of games. But we got to go mini-golfing twice and got to go on this mountain coaster twice, which was pretty awesom. And then we went in the lake, and it was FREEZING.

I have tons of pictures up on Facebook. I think everyone who reads this has a Facebook, oy? Ok, well, go check em out.

Especially the elephant ones. ;D

3 Realizations

I had a realization tonight...next week my family is going to experience something they've never experienced before. They'll see something that is rare and incredibly uncommon---they will witness me on texting and IM withdraw.

Tonight is my last night on the computer until next Sunday night...and I'm not taking my phone with me on vacation. I wrote down some numbers so I could call people using my parent's phones, but no texting, I'm already way over. This will be interesting... ;D

Now here's the random part of this blog post. This was on Cara's blog and I really liked it, so I'm copying and pasting, hope she doesn't mind. :]

"Ok, today in the sermon, the speaker said this quote that has really affected me: "You love Jesus only as much as the person you like the least." And I'm thinking to myself..."No I don't! I LOVE Jesus." But, you know, that REALLY makes sense. Because God is love. And if God is love, than you can't really be close to God unless you love your 'enemies'."

That was my second realization, thinking about all that.

And I had a third realization. But it's a little more personal. Just know that it was REALLY good and it kinda amazes me.

Next post will be next Sunday!

Laughing Breakdown...

Me: My family had a laughing breakdown tonight...
Me: We were all downstairs watching TV and after the show was done...well, we all had a laughing breakdown. My dad was crying, my mom was crying, I was crying, Josh was snorting, and Sanya was...laughing along even though she had NO IDEA what was going on.
Shep: what was so funny?
Me: I have absolutely no idea.
Shep: hahaha!!! That makes it even funnier

...yep.

CONVENTION PICTURES!!!!

Ok, I don't have time to write all about Convention (gotta eat a very late lunch) but I wanted to put these AWESOM pictures up! SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES. :] :] :]


Me and Ryan's feet!


Me and Kassandra being weird...with Ryan in the back, HAHA!


This was pretty much our group for the week. It was me, Kassandra, Ryan, Troy, and Tyler. Max and Cody were also usually with us.

My homies! ;D

Uh...yeah, we were having fun. :]

Uh-oh! Haha! We have like TWENTY PICTURES like this! ;D

Troy and Tyler!

Me and Kassandra! LOVE this picture!

ROLLER COASTER!!! Haha, it took Kassandra like 100 million tries to get this!

Me and Kassandra on the way to our service trip. :]

A big group of us in the back of our UBER nice coach. :] It's Max, Cody, Anna, Emily, Troy, Tyler, Kassandra, Me, and Ryan!

Our group of girls at Cedar Point!!!


The gazebo at our hotel, LOVED IT.

Group of us waiting for our first seminar. SO MUCH FUN!

And I'm sure I'll find more pictures later. :] :] :]

HARRY POTTER WAS AH-MAZE-ING!

WOW. SO GOOD.

Hehe, to quote DK, "It was the funniest and darkest one yet."

WHICH IS SO TRUE. THAT MOVIE IS NO WAY JOSE PG.

But it was HYSTERICAL!!!! AHHH!!!!

*whispered* "Harry!!!"/"Sirrrr!!!" I died...

But I feel bad for DK....haha. So I was holding his hand (due to mother's orders...HAHA!) with my left hand (the order was my mom, him, then me). And so at the freaky freaky freaky part where he's getting the water from the lake and the THINGS come up and grab him...well, I kinda screamed and jumped and squeezed the life out of his hand and with my right hand I grabbed his arm and cut off his circulation and then on his other side my mom accidentally smacked him. :P

But I TOTALLY agree with you Jenny---"At one point, Harry and Ginny kiss (duh) and I was very upset that it wasn't a make-out scene as it should have been." True dat!

And then the car ride home...WOO!!! Haha, it was HYSTERICAL. First my mom took the wrong exit, then she drove down a "No Outlet" street, then she realized she was in the wrong town, then she couldn't find his house. But it was all good! Me and DK got more time. :D :D :D

I won't see him until AUGUST. GAH GAH GAH.

Very upset...I was in Ohio on our one-month and he'll be on vacation on our two-month. :'''(

But last night was amazing...at least we had that. ;D

HARRY POTTER

Cara, Shep, and DK are coming over today (SOON, I GOTTA GO SHOWER, GAH) and then after dinner me, DK, and my mom are going to go see Harry Potter (Cara and Shep are going back to Cara's house to watch a movie since Cara can't go to Harry Potter)!!!!! I am SO excited!!!

If Jenny said it was good then it was GOOD. CAN'T WAIT!!!! :] :] :]

Ok, shower time... :P

Me...

Ok, well, I'm exhausted but there's some stuff I've been thinking about for awhile that I just need to write about.

How to start...uh...well, let's start with ME. I'm not happy with me. I mean...I AM, but at the same time I'm not. I love who I am and all of that. But let's see...how to explain...it makes perfect sense in my head but it's tough to type out. :P

Uh...ok, a few years ago if you asked me if there was one thing I wanted to change about myself I would have said nothing, or maybe if I wanted my hair longer at that point I would have said longer hair...I dunno, you get the idea. But now...yeah, there's something I would want to change...

I'm not happy with my body. I'm just not. Not like, "Oh I hate myself"...just like, "There's things I want to change".

I just realized that I'm not that healthy right now (as in foods I eat and all that) and so I've thought more about that. About how much I really do eat and how much of it is bad and then I'm like, "Woah...what is that doing to my body?" and then I guess you just start thinking about it. Wishing my legs and arms had more muscle, wishing smaller sizes fit me, that sorta thing.

I'm not gonna go starve myself or anything, it's just a realization that I'm not happy with my body. I wanna eat more healthy foods and exercise a lot more. I LOVE that sore/tired feeling after a great workout. But sometimes after I eat a lot I just feel fat...and I absolutely hate it.

So...yeah. That's about it. I wanna be healthier.

Home...and exhausted

Yup...title is self-explanatory.

It's been a long week. Physically and emotionally exhausting.

Just watched the lastest episode of Make It or Break It, it's a new show about gymastics and all that, I really like it.

Gonna sort through emails, and then get on IM. Then SLEEP...

NOTE TO SELF

Ok, well...bad news---I'm leaving, AGAIN. I'm heading up to New York with my mom and Josh and Sanya so we can help clean our grandma's house so it's ready to sell. Then do whatever other odd jobs my grandma needs us to do. I'll be gone from Thursday until LATE Tuesday night...yeah, it's gonna be a longuh couple of days.

I have my phone, but I am running WAY low on texts (Shep, I'll probably be texting you the most when I get bored cause I have unlimited to you), but hey, if you get a random phone call from me sometime during the week, don't be surprised. :]

So this is my official NOTE TO SELF post: I NEEEEEEED to make a post about my week in Ohio sometime when I get back.

I have NO IDEA when that will be, seeing that the Wednesday after I get back me and DK are probably gonna have an all day get together, then go to MB, then go see the new Harry Potter movie (WOOT WOOT!!!!), and then the Thursday after that I want to have a get together with Jess, and then that FRIDAY I was thinking of making plans too with some other friends...WHEW.

Ok, well, off to eat my uh...mucho late dinner. I should be on AIM tomorrow morning...8ish? Dunno when we're leaving, probably around 9:30, so if anyone wants to get up and talk...I'll be here!!

Miss you all!!!!

Sidenote for DK: we were pulling around the circle and my mom suddenly said, "This is the last you'll get to see him for a WEEK!"/"Yeah...I'm gonna miss him..."/*swerves car around*/"What are you doing?"/"Get out and give him another hug!!!!!!!!!"

Ahhh...love my mom. :] :] :]

Quick Little Story! :] :] :]

So here's a quick little story about convention. :]

I forget which day it was...umm...Friday? Me thinks so...ANYWAY. Every morning after lunch there were three blocks of seminars. One from 1:45 to 3:00, then 3:15-4:30, and 4:45-5:00. Every day we had to go to at least two of the three seminars. So on Friday, me, Kassandra, Julianne, and Selene went to a seminar in the first block and then our next one was in the third block. So we had awhile to just hang out in the convention center and do whatever we wanted. All of us were EXHAUSTED (late night before) so we decided to head upstairs and just rest.

We got upstairs and there was like no one around, it was a part of the building where the adult seminars were and they were all in session. So we laid down on the floor and I laid down on Kassandra and then Selene laid down on me and we just ended up lying on each other's stomachs, like in the "HAHA game". Well...before any of us knew it we were ALL asleep. Like COMPLETELY KONKED OUT. It was actually very very comfortable...somehow Kassandra woke up and she was like, "Oh my gosh what time is it we have to go to the seminar!" so we all jump up (well...more like stumble up, we were sill kind of groggy from sleeping) and we look around and all the adult seminars had let out...and they were ALL staring at us. I mean a LOT OF PEOPLE. One of the women asked, "...where are you guys from?" HAHA!

It was SOOO funny, but rather embarrassing. So anyway...later we went up the four of us with two of our small group leaders to have a group talk (just about stuff, it was SUCH A GOOD CONVERSATION) and we showed them how we were sleeping and they decided to take a picture. So here is the picture of what we looked like when we were asleep upstairs in the convention center...

I'm in the black sweatshirt (DUH), sleeping on Kassandra (pink sweatshirt), she's sleeping on Julianne (blue sweatshirt), who's sleeping on Selene (black sweatshirt, blonde hair), who's sleeping on me. :] :] :]

New Post!

Well DK told me I needed to make a new post to have at the top of the blog cause yesterday's post is too depressing for today. :]

Sum up of yesterday: sometimes I just need to shut up and listen to people, they can actually be right sometimes, SHOCKING. ;D But yeah, things are straightened out, WOO HOO!

And quick sum up of today: woke up around 10:38, ate breakfast, went on computer, unpacked, showered, ate lunch, and then went to DK's from like 4:30 until 8:30. I was SO tired, felt so bad. We watched POTO...well no scratch that, he watched POTO, no wait...scratch that again...HAHA.

Then we ate dinner (IT WAS SOO YUMMY!!!), and then we finished POTO and watched Beauty and the Beast. That is a GOOD movie right there...MMHMM... :] :] :]

And that banana bread (with chocolate chips!) was soo good too!!!!

And Shep, just in case you were wondering, we talked about how adorable you are. :D

Good day. :] :] :]

I'm home...

Well I'm home. AMAZING WEEK. PHENOMENAL. I'll post about it later, promise.

But I got home and I was in a great mood, SO happy to see my family (I have a bit of a headache though...four hours of sleep for a week does that to you), to be home, and all of that, and I got on the computer and now I'm in a HORRIBLE mood. H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E.

SO not happy right now...
