Trek

So, I just got back from Trek. It was FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!! I LOVED IT! It was incredibly cool, and really spiritual. We had crazy up and down hills though :P, and crazy rocks :P. I think, personally, for me, the hardest time was the Woman's pull (where all the men leave to simulate the Mormon Battalion, and the girls pull their hand carts by themselves till a certain point) it wasn't hard physically for me though. It was hard mentally and emotionally. I'm not going to lie, I had trouble to keep tears from flowing. And then, watching the women struggle up that hill, it was all I could do to not go down and help. I had to turn away sometimes so I wouldn't go down. From that experience, my respect for women (which has always been fairly high) shot up like no other. I was so impressed, words can not describe it. Then we, the men, sang 'Come, Come Ye Saints'. It was a very spiritual moment for me, and, I could tell for almost, should be all, more than likely, men. Then, us men (we had taken our hats off as we sang) saluted the girls with our hats. That was a very touching moment for me. Then, we hiked through the worst part yet. Hills galore, rocks galore. Up and down, down and up. But, we made it, and I learned so much. I have gained such a respect the pioneers. We went 12 miles in two days, the pioneers went about 20 A day! I can not understand.
I got pictures, so, I promise to show them to you when they are developed. So, yeah.

Chickenz- A webcomic

Well then

I don't know, I just felt I needed to do a blog post for some reason. So, as you can tell, I have changed the background of my blog. So, here's a question: What do you think of it? So, if you will just scroll your page down like so, to the comment bar, click comment, fill all the info out, and you're set! (As long as you comment answering my question). So, life's going good, I guess.
 Summer Marching Band: Started last Monday, found out yesterday I actually can do it :D. So, I'm starting Monday. So, my good friend name Geoff Gentry told me that on Thursday, all the band members and instructors got together, and the instructors told the band mates to bring their friends, and if they couldn't play an instrument that was in Marching Band, they'd teach them. So, this means I get to do it. So, then Geoff offered to let me borrow his Tenor Sax to learn, and to practice (which is what I will REALLY need to do) and that means, I get to be in Marching Band! :D So, moving on, there's only one other Sax player, and that person is Kayla Allred (who is actually in my ward) so, I have kinda a big thing looming over me. I just hope that I don't fail as bad as my imagination says. But, that's usually the case. For some reason, I seem to imagine worse case scenarios, and then, when they don't happen, I'm not to disappointed, but, that's off subject. But, hey, is there really a subject right now? So, I guess that's it. So, until next time my great friends of which luck played a huge role in supplying!
(Meaning, if you didn't understand, which wouldn't surprise me, that I am very lucky to have great friends like YOU!)

Piano Recital

As the title says, I had my piano recital today. I guess I did ok (even though everybody said I did great). People where telling me that I had one of the hardest songs, and I did one of the best. I don't really care what they think, I just think I did ok. (Warning, my brain is half dead, so sorry if I don't make sense). So, today was a long day. First day I didn't hang out with a friend. I could have hung out with Mason, but, I would of have to have left in about 20 minutes, so, it really wasn't worth it. Wow, my brain is loopy right now. Hahaha. So, yeah. Thinking of what could happen, what I could do, who I could be. I was reading Rachels blog, and decided to try to do the same goal as here. (direct quote from http://purstiltski.blogspot.com/ Looking Backwards, looking forwards post) "I have to stop being so shy. I have to start talking to people more." For some of you that know me well, you may not think this applies to me, but, it truly does. I am pretty darn shy. I have the worst time with strangers, even people I kinda know. I hardly ever talk, until I really get to know you and become a good friend with you, then, it seems to me that I can't stop talking. I guess I'll expound on Rachel's goal, and say, I want to work harder at being a better friend, and to make more friends. I know I all ready have great friends (whom of which I am not very deserving) but, I want to be a better friend in return, and expound my friendship circle even more.
Right now it is 11:20, so, I'm pretty loopy. Wow, I'm spinning my head in circles with my eyes close as I type, it's kinda a weird. *Yawn* haha. Maybe this is a sign I need more sleep.... Nah, I think I'm good, for now. So, I guess that's it. Comments are welcome, even if you just feel like saying something random. So, I guess, this is it, for now, and I'll just post this... Maybe. DANG IT! I's lost the game of loosing of which I lost while winning but, loosing and winning are neither here nor there in the long run, and all that matters is (no I'm not going to say 'The climb') but is finishing, and making it the whole way.

Yada yada yada

So, I guess Summer is here, and it's going great. I have enjoyed myself thoroughly so far, and it has been enjoyable-go figure- So, something find is interesting... haha... So far (not counting today, and definitely not Sunday) I have spent time with Ryan every day. :D Speaking of Ryan... he's starting his blog up again... So, just clicked this little link and yousa will find yourself happiness. Maybe. So, on his new post, he brings up the idea of Andor Gillian. But, doesn't tell much about it, because he's a crazy...
So, I'm figuring I should at least tell you a little:
Andor Gillian, the serialized web drama video show. Andor Gillian was the one to be given the marble. Now he must be the one to protect it.
That's what it says on the facebook group. You can join or whatever if your interested. Just go to the search bar in the top left hand corner. Then type in 'Andor Gillian' press enter, should take you right there, and likify!
So, days have been good, but, yeah. I guess that's 'bout it. I've decided not to wear my watch at all this summer, and get rid of the tan line it has made.
Oh, I almost forgot Two things then:
1) My good friend Jeremiah Pena has made a new blog, for his own personal self. Clickify Dis if you will
2) Owl City: A band pretty much everyone has heard of. One that I like. Well, he has a blog, and I've been reading it, and might as well tell you of it. It seems personal to me, not like a business thing, but, just a be yourself thingy. I enjoy reading the posts (2 so far) and I think you will too. [If you like Owl City] so, Cliky Disy Linky
So, I guess I'll end with a quote (I made it up, but, I didn't put my real name I guess, so, it's just my fake name thingy)
"When you have to take a leap of faith, remember- Do it feet first. There just might be some concrete at the bottom" ;) -Gareth Torakson

That quote came from me at Marriachi, and that brings back good memories. Which brings me to one more thing The Game. I have lost the game, and if you know what the game is, so have you. If you do not know what the game is
CLICK HERE NOW MY MINIONS!
And then you will lose the game. You're probably saying to yourself 'If I'm going to lose, I don't want to click it' Well, you will always wonder what you are missing out on... Then one day you will click. Why not this day?
So long!

Periwinkle Starchaser

That is my new name. Yes, it is. I forgot my old one (Though I think it was this) and then a good friend of mine (Names will not be mentioned but Rachel) helped me remember. Then I saw Garrett Matthews, so, I figured that would help, so, therefore Periwinkle Starchaser aka Garrett M. is what I am known by. But I will answer to Periwinkle Starchaser...

Lagoon Day/ Last Day of School!

So.... yesterday was Lagoon Day, and I had a blast. I had never been on a roller coaster (I had only been to Lagoon 1 other time, and no other amusement parks) and, it was an... interesting experience. I enjoyed it though. I had a blast hanging out with great friends, Jorgen, Jordan, Bryan, Dallas, and Mason. I had bunches of fun. No bunches of bananas that would have prove odd, to say the least. I was surprised though, I didn't really get sunburned (I get sunburned Supper easy. No joke. So, I only got sunburned slightly on my face, and where my collar didn't cover my chest. Which is incredibly lucky for me. And none of them hurt... yet.... So, yeah, that was fun. I didn't really see Jarom, Ryan, or Jeremiah and their group. Or Hunter and his group... or Caden, Cody, or Jake. But, I met up with a friend I haven't seen since 6th grade, and, my, he's gotten tall. Man, I've missed my friends from 6th... Oh well, I enjoyed 6th grade, but, I won't explain why, that's for another time perhaps...

Also, today was the last day of school. My last day as a 9th grader. My last day at West Hills. I had a good time at West Hills, made some great friends, had awesome (and not so awesome) teachers. I enjoyed my stay there, and I will look back on those three years fondly. But, I'm excited to leave. I'm ready for Copper Hills, and I'm going to make Highschool the best time of my life! As I close, I have this one thing to say: GO GRIZZLIES!!!!!!!!

9th Grade Award Assembly

Today was our 9th grade Award Assembly (As the title says). So, I got a medal of 'Nerditude'... hahaha, I was hyper in the assembly. So, I got a medal for Honors Geography, awarded for academic excellence and such, so yeah. I also got the presidential academic award, and they said 'It's the most prestigious award out there' what I want to know, is, if it's so prestigious, why where there so many of us? (For those of you who weren't there, there where at least 40 of us... probably more) And, so, to close, I say congratulations to all of you out there who where awarded something, most likely you deserved it, but, some of you... hahaha... jk.
