We Are Young!

Heartache by heartache we stand! Love is a battlefield... Aaarrgh 13 Going on 30! Why couldn't I get Thriller stuck in my head instead of THIS?? Yesterday I went to music lessons and then sat outside on the front lawn of the church with my mom, Lex and Lily. Lexie was doing Biology and mom was assisting so it was left mainly to me to chase Lil around. She's crazy! Mom didn't want us to go to the O'Neills' so we didn't. We just chilled. Then we went to legos and mom took the younger girls to the park. We did some things to the robot I think, but I'm not actually quite sure if anything was improved because I was working on the powerpoint mostly. I had to re un purple the slides, the text boxes weren't cooperating and I could hardly get anything on sliderocket to work with me! But eventually we got a powerpoint open which I worked on. Afterwards we went home and scoured the house... This morning we further cleaned the house because our ES was coming. She came and stayed a while and I just stayed in my bedroom doing Geometry on my bed. I was going on lesson 7 when I switched on my radio for a second and out blasted "DON'T STOP BELIEVIN!" I shut it off faster than I'd flipped it on, how had the volume gotten so loud?! It's always loudest when quiet is what you're going for! Math was enjoyable as usual. After our ES left we cleaned up the house some more, this place gets messy again in no time flat. Grandpa Moore came over and snaked our sink out because it's been having trouble lately. It's so much better now! Take it from me, the dish washer. Some Fed Ex guy dropped off a package for mom today, it was her new phone! It's called a backflip and it's soo awesome. It has a touch screen and full keyboard, it goes online and gets facebook updates. I love the thing! I've been playing with it every chance I get. I did not pause to pull out the instruction manuel and read the spanish half in my best mexican accent... This also means Lex and I get an old flip phone we have and they're adding a line for us. We probably won't talk much, as anyone might've noticed I'm not much of a phone person. But there's unlimited texting so I'd love to try that out. My friends, (largely Madison, Rachel and Emily Watson) have consistently encouraged my buying a phone and getting texting soo... Maybe. Mom went to get a sim card for her phone and I stayed at home to wash dishes and watch "Jackie Chan Adventures" with the kids, their newest favorite show. But when mom returned I realized I'd been put in charge of taking a cake out of the oven when a certain timer went off... I'd not only forgotten but missed the timer. The cakes were black! And so I was made to bake another cake to replace the one I'd neglected. Grandma Kathy and grandpa Butch were coming over for dinner since it's grandma's 57th birthday. Mom made enchiladas, which is always welcome here! Then grandma and grandpa arrived and we began to eat. We also watched a movie we got from netflix, 13 Going On 30 sound familiar Em? That's what we watched. I sat next to my grandfather the retired marine and watched this girly chick flick and, as my grandpa announced, "I still haven't seen a ninja." We ate double chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream and grandma opened her presents and we just hung out in general. Then they left and I picked up my mom's phone. I flipped to the facebook update section and it said "Brenten Fillmore updated: I lost the game!!!!!!!!!! 6 minutes ago". I announced aloud, "Oh COME ON! I lost the game." Lexie glanced over my shoulder, laughed, and said quietly "I lost the game." After the kids all went to bed mom called tech support to try and get her phone hooked up to our house's WiFi while Lex and I watched an episode of Monk. Then we switched over to Heroes. We watched several episodes and are still watching it... It's creepy at times, but it gets better I think. My dad used to have like all the seasons and we watched some once I remember. Besides I remember a few weird things about chillin with my dad. I remember once when I was littler he took me to some little convenience store when I was sick to get some Seven Up. We were walking up and down the isles trying to find it and my stomach was feeling worse and worse and finally we had to settle for Twist. And then... I vomited on the floor... Some poor young guy who worked there had to clean it up and we hurried out of there with our bottle of Twist and.. weird that I'd remember but... Jurassic Park 3. It had just come out and we were dying to watch it so my dad bought it. The case was all silvery and I was ecstatic. My stomach felt better immediately but I shall forever feel bad for that poor young guy who worked there... And Jurassic Park 3 was a hit I think. After watching it it was no longer my stomach that needed concern, it was probably my ever more easily frightened little sister Lexie. She was always easy to scare.. Yes I know that because I've taken advantage of it on occasion, why do you ask? I've had "Second Chance" by Shinedown stuck in my head a lot lately.. I always get that one stuck because it has my name in it somewhat lol. Anyways this has wound down into a spiraling ramble so I'll go watch some more Heroes and try to edit the Sherlock Holmes skit which I recently realized mainly consisted of information on various electronic devices and I have to take all that out and touch up the info on Barcode Scanners. I'll probably end up sending it to my email so we can edit at legos tomorrow together and I can go chill... Laterz!
