Dancing~!!

Sunday @ 11:38 AM

Last night i went to a tri-stake dance. It was so much fun. Much more fun than last times where we just sat there, and the dancing didn't even begin until 10:00. But this time, it was really fun. The dancing began at around 9:00. I even tried to go outside my comfort zone and dance like i meant it. It was hard, but it worked out.

The only thing i can complain about dances is when the music slows and you have to go ask someone to dance. It's torturous~!! I have a lot of trouble going up to someone and asking "will you dance with me?" it's really hard for someone as shy and worrisome as I. Instead, i walked around and waited until someone were to ask me. Though no one did. I swear someone almost did though. Oh~! I need to tell you the most scary thing that happened. So my friend, Natalie, told me that the best way to get asked is to make eye contact. It makes sense, so i tried it. Every time i would look at someone, but they wouldn't look back. Eventually, i decided to go and stand with my other friends that are too afraid to go get asked. On they way i continued to make eye contact, and just when i was a few feet away from my friends a guy looked up and made eye contact with me. The only problem was that i started to freak out. He even looked like he was going to ask me, but i chickened out and ran away. I'm such a horrible person~! If only I'd waited for a few more seconds. Ugh~! But it's over now, can't go back. I'll just have to wait for the next dance. Then I'll try really hard to get asked, or even ask someone.

I did dance with one person though. His name is Josh, and he sits next to me in Geometry, so at least i knew him. It wasn't that bad dancing with him because he is a conversation starter, unlike me, so it went well. And he was the only person i danced with, only because i didn't have the guts to ask anyone and nobody asked me because i wouldn't make eye contact.

Anyway, thanks for reading~!!

Saturday morning....

Saturday @ 6:23 PM

Today i had to wake up really really early. For a Saturday, that is. I had to wake up at 9:00... it was torturous~!! It was for a good cause though. Service. Me and my stake were having a carnival for special needs people, and though it was hard, i had to admit that i had some fun. I would've rather spent my day doing something else, but hey, can't change the past. Gotta move on.

After that, i got home and watched my recently purchased Twilight movie. Well, not actually the movie, just the special features. It's fun knowing how they created the movie. And i got to relive being in the presence of Carlise and Emmett~! It was the best ever. And the deleted scenes are awesome, three are a little wierd, but still awesome. Also the extended scenes were even better. I plan on watching it sometime tomorrow.

At around 8:00 i'm going to be going to a stake dance. WOO~!! Can't wait, and i'll update you on that later.

Thanks for reading.

Online Art!!

Salutations Readers of this Blog:

I have news that i feel is worthy to be told to you. For Christmas i got Photoshop which allows me to color any art i so choose, and unfortunately i have not yet had my art (except two titled "Alex Day" and "too lame to think of title") put onto this awesome website that allows you to show your art, can be any kind --- pencil drawing, abstract, spattler... heck, even photography is considered art --- and you get feedback from others that view your art! I have an account on the website: www.misswannabe.deviantart.com and since i don't have that much art on their, i only have pictures i have found on the internet and colored on photoshop with the original artists permission. If you would be so kind as to even check out my drawing i would love that!! If you don't care whatsoever, that will make me sad! *tear* But just to let you know, you can see my drawings and maybe how i improve.. even check out some of my favorite artists out there.

Thanks for reading,
Nikki

P.S. I will most likely be scanning my art onto the computer today, so in a day or two i should have new art posted online. Thanks.

Update on December Events.

I realize that it's been FOREVER since I've actually been on my blog and updated anything.... so I'm gonna put down everything i can remember about what happened to me this entire month. Please understand that my memory sucks, so please remember that...

Friday 12
The first thing that i remember that happened to me was that i had a formal 9th grade dance for my school, meaning everyone was dressed up. I was planning on going to it anyway, so no one had to plead and beg me to go. My shirt was all sparkley and completely uncomfortable, but i wore it because it matched my skirt, which was a very very very dark blue, almost black. I even got my hair done at Evan's Beauty Salon, i thank them, they did an awesome job on my hair, make-up, and nails. My hair was in ringlets that were simply adorable, and my nails were blue!! I still have the nail polish on. ^^ I thought i was so cute!!
I was originally planning on going with Bri, but she wanted to go real early so i waited and went with Allison a half hour after the dance started. I had plenty of time to enjoy myself, so i was content. The second i got there i was in a half shocked, half amused state of mind. It was funny seeing all my school friends and not-so-friends wearing skirts with flower designs complete with a simply purple shirts, or wearing a shirt and jeans with a tie. I felt like the only one that had dressed up... then i looked at Natalie and Alex with their complete prom dress-like dresses and felt better.
I felt like I'd only been there for a few minutes when it happened. The upbeat, cheerful song changed to a slow song. Which means dancing with the opposite gender, which completely freaks me out to no end. I usually look down and pretend I'm doing something the entire song. But i just couldn't say no when he asked me to dance. My very first dance and already he had asked me. The only problem with dancing with someone else it that i have this feeling that i should bring up a topic to talk about, but I'm not one for thinking ahead. And where are my eyes supposed to go? I don't want to have to look at him, it completely embarrasses me, so instead i look at the ground or at an invisible speck of dust on the wall. I did talk, but about stupid stuff like his tie and watch complete with military time. I felt like such an idiot. Then when the song ends, i feel even worse when you say thanks and simply walk away. I always feel this need that i shouldn't leave, but at the same time i feel that i should.
After that though i had a great time, even when Natalie (a different one then the one i mentioned before) asked him to dance with me again.. that wasn't as awkward. I had an amazing time at that dance and can't wait for the "End of the Year" dance.

Saturday 13
My ward had a Christmas party that we were going to attend, but didn't go to because my family was having their annual 'Zabriskie Christmas Party'. It wasn't as fun without my cousins, Katie and Cami, there. Everyone was little and so i mostly kept to myself and talked with my close family. After that, my mom and dad decided that since we were already close we should simply go to Temple Square and enjoy the lights. Not only was it snowing but it was freezing butt cold, not a pretty picture. I admit i kind of enjoyed myself, but not that much. The lights were pretty, but it didn't give me that extra Christmas Spirit that i should get when going.
After we were done sight seeing my family visited my cousins family and got some real yummy hot chocolate. Thanks Uncle Gary!! My cousins had also already invited some friends over, so they came over and i ended up watching Lord of the Rings with them... it was fun.

Wednesday 16
Man! Was this a busy day!! I had to go to TWO choir concerts in the same day one right after the other. It was terrible, but worked out I'm glad to say. My first concert was for my school's AWE choir. F.Y.I. AWE stands for Advanced Womans Ensemble. It was really weird and wasn't very good... but i thought it was adorably cute when i got to watch it at school. My second concert was for that other choir i talked about in a different post... the semi-religious one. I had to change in the car from my AWE dress (it's a maroon-ish looking color and goes to my ankles and made of a shiny material) into a simple black skirt and white shirt. I barely made it in time to sing, it was a complete rush. But i had fun all the same.

Thursday 25 - Christmas Day
Christmas Day!! Woo-hoo!! Finally it arrives... i had so much fun. My little brother, Brandon, woke me up at 7:00 in the morning... which is later then normal. My entire family was up real soon after that. Then we opened presents, which i loved completely. I am going to write a list of what i got for convenience.

- Photoshop!! I was completely happy.
- An "I Love Emmett Cullen" t-shirt! I've always loved Emmett and can't wait to wear it.
- A orange watch complete with M&M man... just like yours Katie and Cami
- Dance Dance Revolution... yes!! Finally.
- Black boots.
- Candy.
- A new i-Pod!! It's pink.
- and i-Dog amped for my i-pod! His name is Timothy.
- clothes!! can never have enough clothes.
- Gift card to Barnes and Noble and Borders!! I love reading, BTW.
- A spider man spoon/straw
- a sewing kit. always need a sewing kit, it's a law of life.
- a Twilight Poster
- The read alongs to Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. No Breaking Dawn, it was completely sold out.
- Balloon Animals Kit. I fail at making anything but a dog.
- and other random items received normally on Christmas Day...

I even got to go over to my friend, Jaycee's house and had breakfast over there. It was yummy and i loved it. They got Wii-Fit and tickets to Wicked. Me is jealous. Anyway... that's all that happened. I had an amazing Christmas.


Now i am officially caught up for my December events and hope you enjoyed reading about my life. I don't know when I'll write again, but i hope it' soon.
Thanks for reading....bye!!

SHAKE IT!

I had the most interesting thing happen to me today... first you have to know that i go to this choir where we sing semi-religious songs. Yes, i admit, i am part of a choir like that. Anyway... we were singing a song that was really pretty and beautiful, when all of a sudden my friends phone came on over us and started to play the chorus of "Shake It by Metro Station" (song is below). It was hilarious!! Any way, i had to tell those that actually read my blog. It was a really funny experience of my life.

THANKSGIVING!!

Yesterday was the day to give thanks for all that we have and to not think about what we want. It's a really fun day where you're family all meets together in one house and gets to hang out for the day! Isn't that fun... i think it is.

When my family gets together it isn't anything you'd call "normal". My entire family is hilarious (besides me... i just listen in on everything)! I always enjoy having my family come over for the holidays.

Usually for Thanksgiving we all go and see a movie... but this time we didn't. Instead we stayed home and watched SpongeBob The Movie on our television. Which is really funny because we watched it about three years ago as a family. ^^ I loved watching it together.

I can't think of anything else to write so i'm gonna end this post with a goodbye:

GOOD-BYE!!!

Edward and Bella... You Guessed It!

Wow! OMGoodness (taken from by my friend)!!!!! I JUST SAW THE TWILIGHT MOVIE!! I couldn't believe how good it was. I had no idea that it would be like that, otherwise i would have seen it opening night. *screams* I LUVED IT!!!

Beware... this contains spoilers. Do not read unless you have seen the movie.

There were some things about the movie that i didn't like. Such as when Edward tells Bella "Better hold on tight, Spider-monkey", or something to that line... it was just, so not Edward. Those of you that envision him as this total gentleman that talks as if he's from the 1600's or around there would understand how much i hate that line.

But when you first see the Cullens as they come through the lunchroom door... oh, how dreamy Emmett was when i first saw him. *deep longing sigh* I just love Emmett! He was so gorgeous and perfect!! But the first couple to come out was Rosalie and Emmett, my appologies but Rosalie wasn't as pretty as i envisioned her. That's being really rude, but COME ON. It's Rosalie. Then the next couple to come out was Alice and Jasper. Alice looked so cute, i loved her and wanted to hug her. She was a perfect choice for Alice. Jasper on the other hand, looked a bit creepy. With his eyes wide open like a madman and his hair looked as if it had been infront of a blowdryer it's entire life. I know it's understandable, what with him being around humans and him being new to the Cullens but still... they could have made him look more, i dunno... normal.

And a very important question that has been asked since i found out Twilight was to be a movie.

How in the world can you make someone look as if they are sparkling like a million itty bitty diamonds in the sunlight?

But it turned out rather well. They actually managed to make Edward look someone normal even though his skin looked really wierd. The only thing i didn't like was the stupid sound that came with it, it was like... i can't describe it. You'd have to see the movie for yourself.

The Baseball Scene was the the part of the movie i think. It was so full of energy and the sounds of the bats making contact with the ball and Cullens hitting into Cullens was simply amazing! Rosalie gives a death glare to Bella in it, and it looked really scary. Then later when she's out to bat i freaked out because i thought she was "accidently" going to hit Bella with the bat (since Bella was the emphire). It scared me. Then James and his little cult came and ruined everything!
*huff* it wasn't fair, i actually loved the Baseball Scene, though i completely didn't care during the book. I was on the edge of my seat paying attention to every little detail. Like how Alice pitches. She completely kicks her leg straight out and then throws it, I thought it was funny yet like Alice.

And then the Ballet Studio. It wasn't as action packy as i wanted it. It took until the part where James breaks Bella's leg to have me thinking 'oh, there it is'. They really mellowed Jame's character down. Which reminds me, i think it's totally unfair how Jacob couldn't wear his hair in a ponytail because that was "James' Look". That's just stupid, Jacob had the look first, he should have privileges to wear the ponytail. He would have looked much more gorgeous if he could get that long hair out of his face. And then i remembered he cuts it in the next book (New Moon) and I got all happy!

Bytheway, their may be a second Twilight movie if the first on does really good. So all you that want to see the second movie out in theaters, go see that movie!! They (the people who write the scripts) already have a script made for the second movie and are starting to make the third one. Hopefully it's popular enough.

I'm running out of stuff to say so, i'm gonna end the entry.

Stay tuned for pics picked out by me for your enjoyment...!


I love the way the picture looks. Somewhat oldish but still quite modern.


Carlise and Esme. Everyone in the theater gasped in amazement when Carlise first came through the doors at the hospital.


These casual scenes between Bella and Edward at Forks High School were hilarious.


This is the scene where Edward takes Bella to dinner.


Carlise at the Baseball Scene. Isn't he gorgeous?


LOVE THIS PICTURE! Taken professionally. Sry i couldn't find one bigger.



To end it all.... Emmett!! I just love him!!
