I promise... I didn't cheat! haha. I prefer the ones where "cheating" is okay. Like the one on my myspace. We were supposed to think of our own songs, not have shuffle. But oh well. Some of these worked out! haha.

I hate nerves.

Awwwe. The sleeping Pokey! This is what I wish I could be like at the show. I know I'm not going to win, so I don't care about that. [seriously, I'm competing against the girl in my barn who is the NUMBER ONE beginner novice event rider in Area V. haha. So, I think she might just take the blue on this one. Unless she takes her untrained horse. Then he might go phsyco, and I MIGHT get it. Might. But really, I don't care. As long as I don't get LAST place, because I'm also competing against my trainer's 10 year old daughter. THAT is the only thing that would irk me. Is letting her beat me. But ANYWAYS!] I just don't know what it is that makes me so nervous about shows! Because [if there is enough room for me in the show - my mom wrote the check late so we had to mail it with a late fee] I'm going to the show April 20. This Sunday. My first combined training show.

Translation: First show to do a dressage test - the fancy footwork without jumps. Which, in my opinion, is harder than jumping. Well, show jumping. Cross country and dressage are kinda tied for me right now.

And to make me more nervous... I've skipped a level! It goes Green as Grass [GAG], Beginner Novice [BN], Novice, Prelim, etc, etc. Well... I've never done a GAG test in my LIFE. But at this show I'm doing BN. *sigh* But, if my trainer's 10 year old can do it, so can I. I think. haha.

I'm going to be disappointed if, after all this, I don't get a spot in the show. Why does Kim tell me about these things late?!?!

So, until next post God Bless!

21

21 was AMAZING!!! I absolutely loved it! If you haven't seen it yet... GO! It's about a math genius [Jim Sturgess as Ben Campbell] needing money to get into Harvard Medical. He's currently a senior at MIT with straight-A's, geeky friends, and a low-paying job. He feels bad that his single mom is giving up her hard-earned money to help him get into medical school. His math teacher has a secret card-counting team that goes to Vegas every weekend to beat the Blackjack system.

*cough* It just so happens that the love interest [Kate Bosworth as Jill Taylor] is also on the card counting team, and ultimately it's Jill who recruits Ben. Jill is just one of the "spotters," though. [At least I think thats what they called them...] Ben is so brilliant, after he learns how to count cards he is immediately bumped up to be one of the big betters, posing in Vegas as a rich kid wanting to use daddy's money.

Jumping back to earlier in the movie, one of Ben's best friends told him he needed some life experiences. This was the day after his 21st birthday. [Coincidence? lol.] So, I think he definately got that! My dad was happy because there was a bit of blood, and there were guns that actually went off! *GASP!* haha. But I don't think anyone actually got shot... the gun was just fired into the air. [I can hear my dad sigh from his office about this one! lol.]

This movie offers betrayal, big money, Vegas, romance, and attractive geniuses. [*coughcoughJIMSTURGESScoughcough* What's not to like? My dad didn't think they spent enough time at the Blackjack tables, showing Ben winning, but I didn't think much about that. It's fast-paced, and is very much an emotional roller coaster. However, unlike in Leatherheads, I knew just who to root for in 21! :D

Go see that movie, and God bless 'till my next post!

Leatherheads

Well, if you're lookin' for a good movie to see, go watch Leatherheads! If you don't like the movie, it's at least worth watching George Cloony AND John Krasinski. Haha. My dad was rather disappointed there weren't any gun scenes, but the fight scene between George and John was HILARIOUS! :P haha. Actually, all through the movie I wasn't sure who to root for. John or George? I'm still not sure, even a day after I saw the movie....

Oh, and John Krasinski makes the perfect puppy eyes.

I also loved the dialogue between George [who played Dodge] and Renee Zellweger [who played Lexie Littleton]. That was great. They were constantly sniping at each other, and comebacks were always flying. They played it perfectly. A review on IMDB didn't put too good of a spin on the movie, but I go to enjoy myself, not see what's wrong with the movie. Haha. If they give me sports AND romance, who am I to complain? :D The only thing I didn't like was the very end scene with Renee and George. It left us guessing about John Krasinski's character, and I hate it when they do that... haha. Because I can imagine tons of things that could have happened, and want to know which one. But anyways... I liked the last football game. That one was great. And the press box at the games was a good source of entertainment, as well.

So, if you wanna see a funny movie about football before professional football was popular, go see this one! Just don't be disappointed about the lack of gunfights, as my dad was. hahaha. But last night [after we went to see 21, which was amazing as well] my dad and I watched Kingdom of Heaven, and he was happy. :P

Until next post, God bless!

Extreme 4:12

I Timothy 4:12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.

My youth group has been having some issues lately with a large increase in kids coming in. We've added fifty or so kids within several weeks. Which is GREAT! But, these kids have never gone to church before, and don't know how they are supposed to act or anything. I believe I've already had one post about this. However, this post will be a bit happier. :D The core youth group kids who have been learning about the Bible since we were very, very little thought that we weren't getting enough out of youth group. Everything had to be simplified for those kids.

Well, now we're going to start something called Extreme 4:12. Yes, it is based on I Timothy 4:12. On Sunday nights we'll be learning the highly indepth version of what Matt [youth pastor, though not for long, which is a rather emotional story for another time] will be talking about on Wednesday nights. On Wednesday nights after the "sermonette" we break up into small groups. Well, the Extreme 4:12 kids are going to be sort of "Jr. Leaders" in the small groups, since we learned about the topic more in depth on Sunday, and we can get down to their level easier than the adult leaders can.

Personally, I'm excited! The more spiritually mature kids haven't been really getting fed lately, and we will on Sunday nights now! And its also a discipleship program of sorts, and we're going to be helping feed the new youth kids.

Well, until next post God Bless!

Straight No Chaser

Weelll... I've fallen in love with another singing group, though none could ever compare to the Haygoods. Straight No Chaser is [I believe] Indiana University's men's a capella group. They are currently taking YouTube by storm, and I found them around Christmastime, via a link someone sent me for their 12 Days of Christmas song, which is GENIUS! :P
Anyway... You need to look them up on YouTube yourself, and watch aaaaall their videos. Their voices really are amazing. Especially for a capella. And, *sigh* if you don't want to watch ALL three minutes, at LEAST watch the last 30-45 seconds, as well as a bit of the first part.

Ohh, Crap.

Crapppp! I'm gonna have to get jaw surgery! Not any time SOON soon... But like... summer, next Christmas-ish. Crap. Yeah.. Jaw surgery ain't fun. They'll saw through my jaw, tilt it to extend it, and 6 months later the bone should be totally fused back together. They say it isn't too fun, even though there isn't a lot of pain [apparently there aren't too many nerves in the jaw], but I'll look like a swollen chipmunk that got in a barfight for most of the week afterward. I said I don't care at ALL what I look like, as long as I can handle the pain. 'Cause I know one girl that got the surgery, [though she didn't have braces on, and they say that having braces on at the same time makes it easier/more comfortable, 'cause they don't have to put bars in your mouth to rubber-band your mouth shut... they just stick the rubber bands on the braces], and she said they put some sort of drain in her gum and it hurt like crap to get it taken out. But, my ortho said it was just an overnight stay at the hospital then I'd get to go home....

I hate hospitals. Hate them, hate them, hate them.
But, if y'all pray REALLY hard, maybe my lower jaw will suddenly grow to fit my upper jaw, and my upper jaw will STOP growing.

Stupid genetics. Some random great great uncle on my dad's side gave me this stupid jaw issue!
Because otherwise, if I don't get this surgery, my teeth will be 60 years old when I'm 30, and I'll probably have to get dentures at 50. I don't want dentures at 50. Thats how old my mom is now! Ugggh. My great grandma has dentures, and uggghhg. *twitch* No. No, no, no.

But, yeah. This july I'll have had metal in my mouth for THREE years. Not braces... This October I'll have had braces for three years. But this July will mark the three years that I've been in the ortho chair. [I had spacers first, then in July I got an expander in the roof of my mouth that I'd take a little key every day and crank my teeth farther apart. I seriously had to re-learn how to swallow water and food. Take a dogtag chain and stick it in your mouth, straight across the corners of your lips as far back as you can, and that's what the expander felt like. My tongue bled almost every night. THEN came the braces. Along with every other month chains, and every month 4 steel ties.] So, yeah. If it weren't for my stupid upper jaw [which is STILL growing. It hasn't stopped yet. But my lower jaw stopped growing about, oh, THREE YEARS AGO.] they would be doing the finishing, tiny adjustments on my teeth RIGHT NOW and they'd be off probably by the end of the summer.

But NOOOOOOOOOOO.

I have to get JAW SURGERY.

JAW SURGERY.

I hate genetics.
