I just came across this video clip and I thought I'd share. It's about Dakota Fanning and how far she's come, and it talks some about the movies she has coming out in the future. You can see it here: http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1584008&vid=218418
Well, I've got the most shocking news about my admirer, Jared. I kind of guessed in the beginning that he wasn't exactly a goody-goody, but you won't believe what I found out yesterday. He was talking to me and two other people in my class, and he said that he was in jail for three months last summer. The other girl he was talking to asked him what he did, and he said he stole a car!!! And I thought to myself, "omg, there is noooooo way I am going to date an ex-convict!" I mean, I wasn't even considering dating him before, but I know for sure that there is absolutely no way I'm dating a car thief! I'd take Shaun over a car thief any day. :) But yeah, I suppose I have a really good excuse to not date him now, all I have to say is that I'm not allowed to date someone with a criminal record. haha. But still, I can't believe I got asked out by a criminal! Scary.
Well, not much else has been going on. Today I went to dance and I'm getting ready to watch the American Idol results show that's coming on in about 40 minutes. I don't know who will be getting voted off, but it better not be David Archuletta or Michael Johns. They're my favorites. lol. But they're both really popular so I think we can be pretty sure they're safe. :)
And tomorrow, my grandparents and my mom's aunt and uncle are coming! They pick the most random times to come down here and visit, but we're still happy that they're able to come! At least they'll be here over the weekend so I won't be in school all the time that they're here.
Well, guess that's all for now. Later!

Yay! I'm finally on spring break. :) So far I've had lots of fun already. :) My brother came home from college last night, so he's here now. This morning I had a doctor's appointment, because my doctor's office closed and I had to get a new one, so today I went to get signed up and everything, and the doctor asked me questions and stuff. And I found out something amazing- I have apparently grown an inch! You know how before they take you back to the room, they check your weight and height? Well, that's what they did, and the lady said I was 5'1"! I thought I was going to be stuck at 5 feet forever. lol.
Then later, I went shopping with my friend. Her sister and her friend, who are in 6th grade, also came. We had a lot of fun, and luckily the mall wasn't crowded- there's nothing I hate more than trying to walk through an overcrowded mall. But anyway, I bought two shirts. Here are the two that I bought, if you care to see. lol

(I got this one in the navy blue color- I absolutely loved this one- it's sooo pretty!)
http://www.limitedtoo.com/detail/3132746 (I bought this one in the black stripes)
I told my mom that I am officially done shopping for clothes for this season though, since I've looked in all the stores that I like and seen everything. lol.
Oh, and of course I have to give you the update on Jared! haha. Well, after Tuesday, which was the day he asked me to date him, everything finally sank in and I don't feel so shocked anymore like I did when I wrote my last post. Well anyway, I did tell him that my parents are really strict and they still won't let me date, so that at least settles it for now. On Wednesday he kept harassing me about when we were going to be able to date, but I just kept telling him I didn't know, and by Thursday he finally let it go. lol. My mom says she thinks he's a little too aggressive because he kept asking me when we were going to be able to date! I kind of agree, and I think it's kind of weird how he's so determined to date me and he doesn't even really know me! lol. Oh well. At least I don't have to worry about anything anymore, at least for now.

Wow....well, I don't know what to make of what happened today at school. I am still sitting here in a state of shock like I have been since English class. I guess I wouldn't really say it's a bad thing....but very awkward. I'll go ahead and get right to the point.
Well, we had a sub today in English and we were basically just doing busy work. Well, there's this guy named Jared that sits by me. I don't know him that well, I've just talked to him a few times. But anyway, he asked me if he could borrow a sheet of paper so I gave him one. Then all of a sudden, after he wrote something, he gave it back to me and asked me to answer him. He had written "Are you dating anyone right now?" I wondered why he was asking me this, but I wrote "no." So, to make a long story short, he basically asked me if I would date him. I can't describe how completely shocked I felt. No one has ever asked me anything like that! I think I just sat there for a minute trying to figure out what to say. What's really weird is that I really don't know this guy very well. So I did tell him how I'd have to get to know him better first, and I'd also have to talk to my parents. There IS one other problem though...lol. Having to admit this to my mom wasn't easy, considering she's been teasing me about being friends with Shaun ever since I first met him...but I do sort of, um, like him. I don't even know if he likes me that way, because he's friends with a lot of girls and could like any of them, so yeah. I'd be totally fine with him going out with someone else. I'd still be perfectly happy just being friends with him, but of course if he wanted to go out, I would be fine with that too. :) Now I'm wondering whether I should have told Jared about this, but I just wanted to be honest with him, because I figured once I got to "know him better" like I told him I would have to, it would be bad to have to tell him then. But anyway, I told my mom what happened and she agreed that I shouldn't date him now if I barely know him, so she told me to tell him that my parents said they weren't quite ready for me to date yet. So hopefully that'll settle it for now...I'm just worried about the future, because IF something did happen between me and Shaun, I don't know how I'd go about telling Jared. Even if I did just stay friends with Shaun though, I'm still not sure that Jared would be right for me anyway. This is just so strange for me though! I never in a million years thought that I was going to be dealing with this until I was like, 20. lol. But what do you know, here's some guy asking me out already!! And, I don't think that he would do this, but I really hope Jared doesn't say anything to Shaun, because unfortunately he figured out who my friend was. I did ask him not to say anything to Shaun about it, so I know that he obviously wouldn't be a good boyfriend if he did. I really don't think he would, but I just reaaaally hope he doesn't! He seems like he really wants to date me and I certainly hope that he wouldn't talk to Shaun to see if he likes me. For one thing, it'd be pretty awkward, obviously, especially if he liked someone else. Shaun isn't even allowed to date till he turns 16, which will be this summer. I was never planning on saying anything to him- I just figured, if he ever wanted to date me, great, but if he never said anything to me, then fine, we can just stay friends. But, if we ever did end up dating, that would be bad now because of the whole Jared ordeal. I also really don't want Jared to say anything for Shaun's sake- I'd really hate to get him involved in this, and I wouldn't want him to feel bad if he liked another girl. So please Jared, if you happen to be reading this- don't say a WORD to Shaun!!!! lol. Ahhhh, I never realized how complicated love really is until this moment. I just hope everything works out and my life doesn't turn into a dramatic soap opera. Ugh, just when I got my Spanish project done and did my driving test and thought that I was finally stress-free....

Whoo! Grad exams are over! lol. Sadly, once I finish writing this post, I'm going to have to work on my project for Spanish class that's due Monday. We have to give a speech on a famous Hispanic person and also make a "visual aid" for our presentation. I've gotten most of the research done already, but I still have to make a poster about my person, Salvador Dali. *sigh*. But at least I'll feel really relieved once I get it all done. Plus, this week is going to be my last week before spring break! =D
Well, I couldn't believe my eyes when I woke up this morning- I looked out the window and there was snow on the ground! It wasn't much, but it was still a miracle nevertheless to be able to see any snow at all. Although I am a bit miffed that it had to happen on the weekend and not on a school night. lol. My mom thinks that if it had been a school night, we might have gotten a 1 or 2-hour delay at school. All the snow is melted now, but it's still freezing outside! But luckily, after today it's supposed to get warm again. I'm pretty happy about that, because I sure am ready for spring!

I'm back! I know it's been kind of awhile since I've written anything, I guess I just lost all of my energy to type because of all these graduation exams I've been taking all week (and we started them last week).
Well, I believe I left off saying how the basketball team won again and we had another day where everyone was gone. Well, then on THAT day, they won AGAIN, so then the next day they went to the state finals and we got dismissed from school early! So that was pretty awesome. :) But sadly, now all that is over so we're back to normal days. lol. But, like I said, last week we started graduation exams and I've taken 5 tests in the past week, and I have one more tomorrow! Lucky for me, it turns out that I don't have to take a math one this year (I already passed the Algebra one last semester). So far I've had writing, history, science, reading, and language, and tomorrow I have biology (different from the other science one I took). The ones I've taken have been pretty easy, but I'm kind of worried biology won't be quite so easy. lol. So hopefully it'll go okay. I'll be so glad when all these exams are over. I've gotten quite tired of walking down to the auditorium in a huge crowd of people, and then having to make my way to my assigned seat. Then we get to listen to the teacher giving the test go over the same directions and rules as they do for every single test. I am usually a pretty slow test taker (luckily the tests aren't timed), so I have to sit there for a looong time. My neck always starts to cramp really bad from having to lean over so far, since we're sitting in the auditorium seats and have to use lap boards to be able to write. Everyone seems to get very restless and bored, but we actually had some entertainment a few times, like when someone sneezed extremely loud during the test, and then another time, someone apparently forgot to turn their cell phone off and the song "Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston rang out in the middle of the test. But thankfully, all the testing will be over after tomorrow. :) Yippee!
