Christmas is almost HEREEE?!

Oh, hi.
I forgot you existed, sorry.
So guess what? It is December 22nd. Tomorrow is Christmas Adam. Then Christmas Eve. Then Christmas DAY!
It's weird, though. It doesn't feel like Christmas should be here yet. It should be here in a month.

I know, I'll be receiving some wonderful things.. since my family usually has rather big Christmas's (?? don't really know how to spell Christmas's. Christmasess, Christmasez?)

You know, I really don't need very much. I'm content, quite happy. I'm not officially asking for anything, I rather like surprises instead :) One thing I'd really like to be given, though is...

drum roll please...?

TOMS!

I found out about these shoes over a year ago.. and I've watched my beloved shoes grow in popularity and see the cause expand. They've come out with cuter styles, and I love seeing the photos they post of children and adults alike receiving a pair of TOMS.
You see, the thing that makes TOMS so great is that for every pair you buy, they give away a pair to someone in need.
There style is simple, a classic, plain canvas shoe is all I really want.
you know, might as well feel the Spirit of Giving around Christmas time, right?


Anyways, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas time! Hopefully there's a fresh blanket of snow when I'll wake up super early in a few days! Take the time to remember the most wonderful gift of all - the gift of our Savior.

Justin Bieber is in my good books now.

what i've never done: walk to the cemetery by myself, for no good reason :)

well, i can't say that i've never done this any longer. Sunday i had a grand (freezing, but grand) time walking to the cemetery. i was feeling awfully lonely that day, sitting on a bench in the middle of a hundred graves. bounding out of no where, a white cat came , and he became my friend. I call him the 'Ghost Cat' because that's what it seemed like.

we walked around and behind tombstones together, and i saw graves of people i knew - both died young, one just a baby, the other 20 years old.
some graves seemed really sad, but most, i found, seemed hopeful. my favorite tombstone is in my handy dandy collage - "Today is going to be a beautiful day!" it seemed ironic. I was freezing (my hoodie didn't do much) and it was about to snow. i had nothing but a cat for comfort.

there i realized that life is precious, and it can be looked at in so many different ways. i reflected on myself, my life, and there are things i need to change.

i can definitely say that the walk to the cemetery by myself, for no good reason, really paid off.

Busy Life = Pretty Much Dead

let's just say that i haven't been updating this thing JUST because i didn't want to.. my life has been hectic!
i've died from lack of sleep these past few weeks, and look where I am now.. 12:09, updating this thing. But, you know what? Tomorrow's Saturday. I will sleep tomorrow.

Kimmie, I could really use Tito right now.

The end of the quarter always ends up stressful and full of "WHY am I getting a B+ in this class?!"
Well, if you even care, here are my grades. Quarter 1, complete. Hopefully it's good enough to get into some sort of college..

Computer Tech ~ A. Painting ~ A. Humanities ~ A-.  Language Arts ~ A. Algebra 2 ~ B+. World Geography ~ A. Biology ~ B+.

Yeah, I'm pretty proud of my grades (otherwise, i would neverrrr post them on here). My lowest are in Biology and Math, and those are my hardest classes, so in my mind, I'm doing okay.

I'm working extra hard for a 4.0 next quarter, which is the main reason of my lack of sleep.

I stay up every night remembering last-minute assignments, and recently decided to enter the 2010-2011 Inspirations Art Contest. As my mother is PTO president, she encouraged me to enter as many of the categories as I could. I ended up creating a video, writing an essay, painting a picture, and submitting a photograph. I'm fairly happy with all of my entries, especially my video.

The video took many weeks. It is the Pokemon Theme Song, with video clips of my siblings acting out the lyrics. I'm proud of it, but it's really obvious that it was done over the space of time, maybe next time I'll think a little bit harder about my projects.

Every morning, I fight for my life just to stay alive. I'm tired and lifeless during school, which makes things really funny. I die from lack-of-sleep on a daily basis, and I know it's bad, but whenever I get settled in bed I keep thinking "There MUST be something I could be doing right now...". And, usually, there is.

...Like update this blog.

Important, right? Sure. But hey, it's the weekend, give me a break! I can sleep in til noon, and I probably will, thank you very much.

I'm so tired.

lovekimber :)

hives, hives, go away

so i went to the hospital last monday, and i didn't die.
apparently i'm allergic to something, and if i don't take my pills every four hours, i swell up like a balloon.
...fantastic.

what can i say? hives love me.

Romeo and Juliet, except reversed.

Once upon a time I had two friends who decided to be in love.

We'll call them Romeo and Juliet, since that is a fair comparison for their story. Romeo's parents have an opinion. And their opinion is that Romeo is a BIT obsessed with Juliet. That's why when they spend time together, Romeo gets shut up in a large dungeon for the rest of eternity (more like a month and a half).
Meanwhile, Juliet's parents are all for it! They're like, "Woahhh! Look at those roses! Let's get the video camera out!"

Then there is this guy who is the Messenger. He delivers letters and cute presents from Juliet to Romeo, and vice versa. But guess what? MessengerMan betrays Juliet and Romeo - and gives the letters/cutepresents to Romeo's parents! And guess what else? Romeo can't call Juliet via telephone for more than 20 minutes!

Then, bad news.

(This is where it kinda gets intense)

MessengerMan gives a five-and-a-half page letter to Juliet. It's not the nicest letter.

She gets kinda offended. She writes back.
And now it might be over. Or it might not.
Why? Because Jaguar, Squirrel and Sea lion are IN action! They decided to not deliver Juliet's good-bye letter to Romeo just yet. Because Juliet has just possibly lost her mind.

The End.

Meanwhile, in my world, I get to enjoy two full weeks of fall-break bliss. Complete with the Herriman/Riverton game and a trip to St. George(:

Squirrel, signing out.

Oh, craaap. I have a 3-page Book Review due the day I get back. Why do teachers do this to me?? D:

lovekimber

i'm gunna practice me some PLEE-AYYS!

 

you guys don't understand how hard this could be. i can barely balance on one leg for more than ten seconds! okay, the end(:

i don't even LIKE argentina

Well, thee History teacher Ms. Cole decided that it would be okay to assign us all a 12-slide powerpoint "last week" (noooo it was more like yesterday).

Today consisted of Maddie and I working for 4 hours straight on that thingg, and needless to say - I have no interest in going to Argentina anymore.

Actually, yeah, I do.

Speaking of Argentina... (don't know why I thought of this)... FALL BREAK IS NEXT WEEK!!!
I hear the angels singing now. Ahhhhhh. :)
Now, all I have to do is get my grades up a few notches and call it good in a relaxing resort in ST. GEORGE.
Super, duper excited!

Vacations can never come too fast.

well, this is awkward.

i never know how to start blogs. Not that i've really created one before.

Hi, i'm kimber and i like to party. If you haven't seen Hot Rod, you're not missing out on much.

i created this blog mainly to say "yeah... i have a blog" in a really super casual way. you get street cred from these things. i might make it into a book someday, iiiii don't know. i guess i'll write & share anything that comes to mind. youtube videos, songs, stories of my life, you name it.

well, that's all. enjoy your life.
