Bridge to Terabithia

SPOILERS!!! (DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE YET!!!)

(3/22/07) Well, we went to go see "Bridge to Teribithia" last night and I have to say, that was the most I have ever cried about a movie. It started out pretty good but about a 1/3 of the way through the boy (Jess) is invited to go to the art museum with the kids' music teacher. Before that he was just some nobody without any friends who always got pushed around. Then Leslie (AnnaSofia Robb) moved next door to him and she noticed his drawing abilities. They become friends and create the imaginary world of Terabithia. (Picks up at intro)When he and the teacher are pulling out onto the driveway, he takes a long look out at her house and the teacher asks if there was anything he forgot. He turned and said no. When he got back home, his parents and 4 sisters where having a fit. They thought he was dead. When he asked why, they told him that Leslie had drowned in the creek when the rope that they had used to swing across broke. He flipped out and was acting as if she was still alive when they went to pay their respects. It didn't seem to sink in yet.

When his little sister Maybelle, tried to follow him to Terabithia after Leslie's death, he shoved her down and she went crying to their dad. When he was there, he saw the "dark master", chasing him. It was his dad and then it sank in about Leslie and it all being fairytale, but he still believed. After he saw that her parents where moving, he asked if he could have the leftover wood. He built a very nice looking bridge (hint, hint) and made it up to Maybelle by taking her to Terabithia, she was made the princess and he was the king. END SPOILERS!!!

Once you started crying, you couldn't stop. I cried for at last an hour. Just really depressing. I am pretty 50/50 about it. It was a good movie, I just don't like crying, so yeah...

I got the contacts in in under 10 minutes!!! WHOOP!!! YAY!!! We are getting the goats, my mom refuses to have anything to do with them and I've official lost count of how many times they've both said that. ;p I WILL take care of ALL MY pets. (This excludes Jake and Misty; I take care of them too! Mom feeds my horse and dog though, so it's even.) I get to scoop the litter box, feed in the evenings, and fill the food bowls when they are empty. Who says I don't help with my pets? I've been spending a lot more time with my horse. We've been getting along better too!

Well, I'm gonna go build a hutch thingy for the goats. I will get pictures of them soon. Promise. So, talk to y'all later!

God Bless and be safe!

Yes, I'm alive...

(3/21/07) Well, it's been a long time since I updated, and looky there, it's time for diner.
*15 minutes later ad stuffed* Well, that was good. We had mashed potatoes, carrots, meatloaf (yuck) and bread. It was pretty good.

Well, all is good with Two Bit (my horsey) and we've been riding quite a bit lately with my BF who's b-day's coming up, in like, a week. I hope he likes her gift. He he. One the subject of animals, guess what I'm getting. I've talked and presented my way into getting Mrs.Dubs permission to get 2 baby pygmy goats from my neighbor. He is so awesome, he's actually giving them to me. He's awesome. We got our barn for the horses from him too.

I hope I didn't offend anyone with my comments on my parents blogs when they tag-teamed me with that teenage daughter stuff. I was being rather hot-headed.

Well, good news, I finally got contacts. The only prob is their a pain in the neck to put in. I'm getting better though. It's only my third day with them on, I have to say, they are very nice.

Well, me and the grandparents are gonna go see "Bridge To Teraithia" tonight. So, I'll let ya go for now, I can't wait to post abut the movie.

Be safe and God Bless,

Paybacks' a Mother...so don't mess with the daughter...

Well, I'm sure that you've all read my mother's stereotypical, degrading blog this Thursday morning. I would like to get a few things strait. That was all lies excepting #'s 3&4. I'll tell you what I think about those accusations towards your average teen. Here's my question; when have I ever been average?

In response to:
1.)I do NOT wear an over excessive amount of make-up, I DO wear clothing that covers me, I do NOT ask to borrow money without paying you back, and I do NOT sleep in a burrow of dirty clothing.
2.)I act normal; you're just paranoid
3.)True
4.)What does "shutdown" mean? It's not in my dictionary...
5.)I do NOT take a shower more than 25 minutes long and do NOT use all of the hot water. You are the one who bought me the soaps in the first place, it wasn't my idea. I like them, of course, but you can't complain. That was your own doing. I DON'T use the same shampoo as you because you have to have your own kind, I just pick out whatever. I don't need to deal with hair loss/ and or gray hairs...
6.) You CAN be seen with me in public IF you look nice and up to my standards for your age. I am terrified of your cooking, therefor, it's drive-through. Get used to it! ;p
7.) When have I ever dressed like a"lap dancer"? I don't even show skin except for an occasional low cut blouse with a tank-top underneath. I pick out my own clothes, you'd be the one trying to coax me into something, "cute". Remember the whole age difference? Yeah, that effects style.
8.) That'd be "Ultra-High"...
9.)Just remember, I had to get it somewhere. And the fingers' being pointed at you. I can't imagine what you where like. Poor Nana...

And so, who still thinks that teenage daughters are that horrid? Just remember, you used to be like that, if not worse...

Be safe and have a good day,
and remember, be nice to teenagers, you've told us your embarrassing stories...

Opperation; Expression!

(1/29/07) Hey everybody! What's up? Well after we finally got back into school, after 5 school days out, I made a new breakthrough in my boring computer schedule. Yesterday, my dad, Sgt Dub, gave me a challenge; to draw a picture of him in my "style" of drawing.

I finished the pencil draft last night in about an hour. Tonight I will be trying to transfer it to paint. It won't be easy. But, I like a challenge. I can't wait to see how it turns out. So, it's safe to say that it will most likely be posted in a few days.

I have a challenge for YOU! I want you to click on the link bar over there and go to 'Miss Dubs Stories'. I want you to read and review my stories. I would love it if you commented on every chapter. Writing is one of my passions and the style I use is modern with a little descriptive 1900's writing techniques. I hope you enjoy them! Sgt Dub does!

Be safe and have a good day!

Ara Kami-sama! When Will It End?!

(1/19/07) To translate that into English, it would be; Oh My God! When Will It End?! It's now day 8 of sheer ice, tonight we are expecting around 6-10 inches of snow, Yay! Not. The only reason I haven't gone insane with chill is because I was out busting my butt running on the ice like a mad person (when no one was looking ;p ). It's cold. I don't like cold.

Well, we've been out of school for a week now. I've been out since Friday. It was amazing, during 3rd hour English, at least 5 kids got checked out of my class in a time span of 7 minutes tops. So, we now have to stay with school an extra 4 days. Not fun! I don't wanna be stuck there till June!

Not much else going on, watching 'Memoirs of a Geisha' on my new portable DVD player I got for Christmas. Come to think of it, where was all this blasted snow at Christmas time?! I swear if that stupid groundhog sees his flippin' shadow...[insert death threat to poor defenceless mammal]

Ugh, it's so cold. It does make you think though, while I'm in here, nice and warm, there's people out there who have to stay outside in it, who don't have family or friends to look out for them and to help them, who refuse help because of arrogance or pride. That's what the care houses are for, but so many of them refuse to go. It's bewildering to me why they can't go and stay at these places where a warm bed and a hot meal can be acquired. I know that they probably fill up fast during weather, but the ones turned away, how do they make it?

After thinking about that, it makes me refer you to go a see a very good movie that illustrates just that, I want you to go and see, ''In Pursuit of Happyness' (spelled that way). It's such a cute movie that really opens your eyes. It'll make you laugh, and smile, and maybe even cry. It's a must see.

Be safe and have a good day,
Miss Dub

Geography Bee outcome

Well, let's say that I refuse to ever go to Guatemala. I didn't win the geography bee, but I did, however, get 3rd place. My friend's sister is my hall's rep. and she will be going all the way to compete in Tulsa for the state rounds, if she wins there she gets to go and compete in Washington, D.C. I hope to go there one of these days.

Well, Monday we got new electives and I have beginner keyboarding 6th hour and it's so not cool. This creepy guy next to me keeps looking over at me and will not shut up! My guy friend told him to leave me alone and he sat somewhere else today. Thank you Brice!

7th hour I have vocal, nothing new there, I've had it all year The new thing is--we got a new teacher--she's so cool and has got the quirkiest outlook. She's cool and young, maybe around 26ish and from Alaska.

Not much happening on my end for now. We are about to head on over to have a birthday party for my great grandma. She will be 85. Don't think about hearing from me till about Saturday. I have to clean my room. It's bad--I can't see my floor anymore...

Be safe and have a good day!
