The Force is Strong in Slytherins.

2011-03-12T15:31:00.001-08:00

Alright, so I haven't posted here in... a while. But that's because I'm lazy. And I haven't had anything to write about. That you people can read anyway. But now I've finally found something! Now you ask, what is this subject that I have chosen to write about after months and months of a blog hiatus?

Clubs.

But not just any clubs, school clubs! Or more specifically, Red Devil SHS Clubs. You see, I've never really been a fan of clubs. Yeah it's cool to hang out with people that have your same interests and it's good to get involved and yada yada yada... but I've never really gotten into it. I also haven't really been in any clubs. Well I've actually gone to the first couple meetings of multiple clubs (PTSA, FCCLA, Interact, and Key) but nothing's really stuck. Now I've finally found out why!

Our school just doesn't have any interesting clubs! In good ol MMHS (MMmmmmHS) they have Harry Potter Club and Jedi Club and other awesome things. I guess Springville kids are just to cool for that kind of stuff. Which is lame. I want to be in the HP club (as long as I'm in Slytherin) and I've wanted to be a Jedi forever (who doesn't, I mean come on)! Not cool man, not cool.

So that's my new excuse for being an anti-clubist. Well it's either that or I just can't do clubs having to do with service, which makes me a horrible person. Hmm. I think I'm just gonna blame it on the lack of cool clubs. "I'm trying to be good, life's just not letting me."

Freshman Year is Over!!

2010-06-01T11:07:00.000-07:00

All good things must come to an end. My Freshman year has definitely been a fun one, with some not-so-fun things thrown in there for good measure. The last day of school was soooo sad! Future SHS and MMHS students were crying and hugging each other. It was really depressing because I probably won't see a lot of my good friends going to MMHS every again. But instead of this post being filled with all the sad moments of the last day of school, I want to fill it with some of my experiences and things that I've learned over my three years at MJHS.

My List of Life Lessons (in no particular order):

1. Finding other people that love Psych is a great use of time.

2. Don't ever go on Facebook for a "5 minute break" when you're working on an essay.

3. Not everyone picks up on sarcasm.

4. Lockers are the most useless thing in the world when you are OCD about not having anything you could possibly need/want in every single class (including lunch).

5. Procrastination isn't a solution, it's a way of life.

6. Always find out which teachers actually read what you turn in and which ones just give you an A if you did the assignment ASAP.

7. Baby turtles can end wars. (shout out to Mr. Nielsen!)

8. Make sure that you have at least one friend in each class because group work is a staple in Junior High.

9. Don't get hooked on a book series that isn't assigned for school or you will never read the one that is assigned.

10. Keep a daily/weekly diary so you don't forget everything that happened during your Junior High years!

Colts Own!

2009-11-27T11:18:00.001-08:00

Hey, long time no see! For your information, I'm now a 100% Colts fan! I love them and not just because my boy Collie is on their team. Manning is my favorite quarterback... ever. He's so cute! Collie is having a great time with the Colts and is definitely making a name for himself! The Colts are now undefeated and I hope that continues and leads them to the Super Bowl. That would be so cool! That's pretty much it... I haven't blogged in months and my sister has been giving me crap about it. Go Colts (and Cougars)! Collie #17 for Rookie of the Year!

Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince!

2009-07-16T12:31:00.000-07:00

I LOVED IT! I thought it was AMAZING! It killed all of the other Harry Potters easy. They just keep getting better from the last ones. It was really funny, but at the right time. Like when it was supposed to be serious, it was serious. When it was funny it was funny.

One of my favorite characters, Bellatrix, was in fine form. That actress amazes me. She hadeverything from "I killed Sirius Black! Try to come and get me!" to her dancing on Hogwart's tables breaking all sorts of things. Seriously, I love to hate her. And I also welcome a relatively new and freaky member of the cast, Greyback. We don't know this yet, but Greyback's a werewolf over all werewolves. And no, I'm not talking about the stupid 'if I get mad watch out' shape shifting wannabes of the Twilight world. Nope, I'm talking full moon, bite you and you turn into one, can't control themselves, werewolves. It's refreshing.

And can I say FINALLY!? Finally I get some Draco Malfoy! This was his biggest part by a long shot! He is definitely my favorite character! Tom Felton is such a good actor. When he was crying I almost started to tear up! Then stupid Harry ruined it by interrupting him about how evil he was for cursing that chick. Doesn't Harry see how hard Malfoy's life is? Malfoy was crying about it! Malfoy's just trying to protect his family. But when Malfoy attacked him, I was so happy. He should of had him, but then Harry did the whole Half Princes' curse for enemies on him without knowing what it would do! You idiot! Don't they teach them in Hogwarts to first know what a spell does before cursing someone with it? (If you didn't know, that spell cuts threw you like a invisible blade. Sounds fun huh?) It leaves huge gashes everywhere and basically you bleed to death really fast.If Snape hadn't been the one to have actually created that spell, Malfoy would have died. Snape was the only one in the world to know how to fix it. What if he hadn't been there soon enough? Then how'd you feel Harry? Mr. I Wont Even Kill Wormtail Who Lead Voldemort To My Parents. Yeah Harry! Then you would've KILLED Malfoy. And then I would've thrown the book up against the wall and never have seen the movie or read the last book.

Of course Snape was amazing as usual! It's fun how the people who haven't read the books don't know what Dumbledore mean when he begs "Please," to Snape when Snape's about to kill him. Most people would think he's pleading for his life. We, on the other hand, know otherwise. So basically, I love that movie! Plus I got to see a teaser for The Lightning Thief! Score! The dude who's playing Percy seems perfect for that role! Anyway, Harry Potter 6 rocks!

Girl's Camp!

2009-06-19T15:30:00.000-07:00

About a week ago I went to Girl's Camp at Heber Valley! It was just our ward since we went to our Stake one last year. Another Stake was there and it was awesome seeing my friends from that Stake.

A really fun thing we did was going on a Scavenge Hunt type thing. All three teams were running all around and trying to find scriptures. The scriptures were the easy part, the hard one was remembering the theme thing for each value. After those we also had a challenge which were the most fun part!
I actually came over a fear of mine! That's usually impossible, like I say I am fine living within my fears. (i.e. spiders... and that's about it!) The one that I actually over come -for the time being at least- was my fear of heights. Seriously, it's kind of pathetic, but true. I'm fine with riding on roller coasters or going in a tall building. My issue is with being strapped into something and having to trust the person that if I fall they wont let me die. I'm not even close to as scared of heights as spiders, but still. But I did it! I climbed the tree and walked across another tree and went down the zip line! I think the only reason I did it was to go on the zip line... I don't care how high up those are, they're fun! It was actually really easy after you just let go of the tree. It was a piece of cake after the first couple steps. And seriously, don't look at your shoes, look straight ahead and it's much easier! Also the belayer was talking to me at first when I wouldn't let go of the tree. I think that helped to like know that she was there or something.
We did many other smaller (and much lower) activities at the challenge course. They were all fun (except the one that I fell... kinda embarrassing). I was on the log thing trying to switch my position just as the person was saying for people to get ready and catch someone if they fell. I kind of zoned out for some reason and then all of a sudden the wood chips were rushing up towards my face. I was glad no one had taken the direction to get ready and catch yet. I don't like to be caught! If I fall, let me fall. I was like dying of laughter as everyone else was pretty much just concerned. They like thought I was seriously hurt... what, from the like two ft drop? Yeah, that'll do some damage! Anyway, we completed the challenge still, so everything was good!
Another great thing about camp was the food like always! Seriously, we have the greatest meals there! I don't know how they make it so good, usually the food sucks when you camp. (Or so I've heard... yeah, like I actually go camping!) We all take turns cooking, but I guess the leaders are just really good at it so I can't even do anything to mess it up!

Time always flies at girls camp! Seriously, I look at a clock and it's 3:00 and the next time I look it's 7:00! We just have so many activities to keep us busy. It's so much fun! Even though some of the hikes are killer, just think about the calories we burn! And we are just getting ready for Trek, which I can't wait for! It's so soon now. Even though I do need to make another skirt... and finish my first one... and find some button up shirts... and maybe a bonnet thing... and I'll probably die walking that long. But who cares right? I still can't wait! We get to meet our "Ma's and Pa's" on Saturday. Total strangers... yeah cause I'm great at the whole first impression thing!
The crafts are yet another great thing about Girl's Camp. They are so much fun! This year we made things out of clay, made a bracelet, and made "Live Like You Believe" blocks. The clay didn't really do it for me. After my horrible basket/vase, flower that supposedly looked like a pom tree, a piece of paper and pencil, and just random shapes half done, I gave up. So now my clay is just molded into a dis figured circle. My other projects turned out better though! My LLYB block is the perfect blue that fits right in with my room. The bracelet I did was a blue and white pallet like thing. I'm no Bethany, but I like it.
Also, another great thing about Girl's Camp is all the games! I played Ticket to Ride with Di, Mary-Anne, Laura/Kylee, and Randie. It's was a lot of fun! Another game we played with the Bishop was Signs. He's like amazing at that game. He always gets up and makes up stuff to say to fool the person in the middle. The two games that are by far my favorite (and the ones I am the best at) are Whoo! and Snorta. Even though Bishop does give me a run for my money in Snorta. In Whoo! Miranda and I are the champs. It's great with a lot of people.
Besides all the fun stuff, we also have really spiritual experiences there. Like Testimony meeting everyone is crying all the time. Even me, and I don't cry in front of people ever! Hey! I just realized I faced another one of my fears! Ye-ah! Sweet! This was my first time actually baring my Testimony at the meeting. I kind of have a fear of speaking in front of people. I'm totally fine when I'm acting, that's easy! You aren't your self, I guess so it's really easy to be in front of people not being you. But when I'm myself, it's really hard for me. Like I'm deathly afraid of giving a talk. (I've done that twice though.) So yeah, I bore my Testimony for the first time. Sure I didn't really say everything I wanted to say because I could feel myself getting choked up and there was no way I was going to be actually crying while I bear my testimony. That's where I draw the line. So, yeah. Testimony Meeting was great with everyone bearing their testimony and all.

Anyway, Girl's Camp is just a great experience! From all the fun times to the most spiritual. It's always been something I look forward to! It's only my third year, so I still have many to look forward to. I can't wait until next year!

P.S. I totally hate my story right now.

Writer's Mood-Swings

2009-06-04T18:44:00.000-07:00

So, today I decided to write about what I like to call, 'Writer's Mood-Swings' catchy title huh? Basically, at least for me, as I write a story I have many different phases or moods. Some phases are more like impulses to write something with a certain theme in my story, based on my mood usually. Like if I wanted a fight scene or something. Then the next day when I'm in a calmer mood I end up deleting the whole thing. It's a great use of my time. I think all writers have different mood-swings... mine are interesting.

They consist of:

1. When you reread your story and all you can think about is how crappy it is. And how no one would ever want to read it.

2. When you get inspiration at like midnight, role out of bed, and find any scratch of paper to write on barely legible on. (My scribblings have been found in the morning on lint roller wrappers, an actually lint roller, candy wrappers, colorful paper, on top of other writings of mine, and more.)

3. When you have a great idea but can't quite get it into words or how a character would say it.

4. When you want to introduce a new character, but you don't know how to show his/her personality like you want to. (Maybe that's what happened to Stephine Meyer when she wrote about Jacob. She wanted him to be nicer, and cuter, and just a better person, but didn't know how to show it!)

5. When you can't think of the word or the right sentence! That probably happens to me the most, I hate it!

6. When you look at the very short, incomplete story and ask why do you even try? Why don't you just give up?

7. When you love your story so much you stay up all hours of the night until the computer actually freaks out. (Seriously, word hates me now. It doesn't let me type if I go on to long.)

8. When you can't decide which way you want the story to go. I then end up writing two or more completely different options. That happens to me on a daily bases!

Bored of Summer

2009-06-01T13:24:00.000-07:00

Isn't it sad that I'm already bored of Summer? Yeah, craziness! It's been what, three days of freedom and I'm sick of it? It's not even like I don't have anything to do... I just don't want to do any of it!

I've decided to take a new approach at writing a book. Force yourself to start at the very beginning and just write all the way threw. It's working out pretty well, if I do say so myself. That's what I'm devoting my Summer to since I don't want to leave the house. I already did my end of the year stuff on the weekend, so why do more?

Also this Summer, I'm going to watch all of the great movies coming out! Isn't it a superb time for movie right now? I just watched Star Trek with Matt. It was AMAZING! I am now a Treky and will be doing the live long and proper sign to everyone I meet. Yeah, I DO know what that freaky hand thing Trekies do means! Spock said so... I love Spock so much! He's so cute and different! Oh and Captain Kirk is just a little hot! I really loved that movie and I recommended it for everyone! This isn't your parent's Star Trek. (Yeah that was like a promote quote on one of commercials and it's so true!) Or was it grandparents? How old IS that original Star Trek?

Anyway, I basically just wanted to Blog again since Emilye has been harassing me about it and she gave me the computer to do it. It was basically a scheme to get the computer. So this boring Summer is all about me actually finishing and not just doing bits and pieces of a book and movies. Should be fun...

Oh and I promised Em I wouldn't but, it wouldn't be a Brittanye's Business post without a little Twilight! The New Moon trailer came out!! It was crazy with Jacob changing into a werewolf and Jasper attacking Bella! The party scene was tight. That's all, nothing more!

Vampires VS Werewolves

2009-03-18T16:03:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while and I want to again! (Plus I want to procrastinate doing school stuff.) Anyways, I would like to blog about my latest issue with the Twilight world! Okay, so the actors they have chosen for the werewolf pack are just a little... HOT! It's especially going to be hard to hate Sam so freaken much when he is one of the hottest men I have ever seen! Now, my issue is not that I would ever change into pro werewolf or something... it's not like they're FINE or anything ... it's just that my fellow hate Jacob and pack (except Seth, who I adore!) people are going weak!

People are saying that the Cullens are going to have some competition! Which is so not true!! The Cullens let me remind you, are perfect! Just because some big bad wolves that are extremely good looking come to town does not mean that we will love them! It just makes me mad the New Moon is making Twilighters think and love the werewolves! (Just because they're the main characters or something! I didn't really pay attention to the pages without Edward so I wouldn't know). It's apparently the year of the werewolf, which is so dumb! Cullen lovers will live threw this I know it!! You stupid werewolf lovers can have New Moon... we get the rest of the series! Ha Mel! Read it and weep! Hahaha! Victory will be ours!! Okay, so I went a little overboard, but I'm very emotional right now!

YOU'RE The Rotten Tomato!

2009-02-05T18:11:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I haven't blogged in, well... a while. So basically I haven't really had anything to report. The only thing I could think to update you on is my lack of sleep, but that's a little boring and my love for Health, but that's a little weird.

But, I have thought of something that I can blog about! My hatred towards Rotten Tomato! For those who don't know (I love saying that, I feel superior) Rotten Tomato is a website with reviews and stuff on movies. I check it whenever I want to see a movie and all, but that is stopping now! I have had many disappointments in their "Rotten Meter"! When I get bored I just look up random movies on the website, but I wont anymore! I've come to the conclusion the the "Top Critics" are all seventy year old men that don't know what love (Twilight, The Notebook and The Lake House), action (The Day After Tomorrow and Eagle Eye), comedy (27 Dresses, Night at the Museum, and SPACE JAM) or just a good movie (August Rush and so many more) is! So, yep I'm banning that stupid website! You can tell that I hate it when people bash my FAVORITE movies. At least The Dark Knight had good reviews or I probably would have killed someone.

What's in a Name?

2008-12-23T09:56:00.001-08:00

Okay, so recently I have started two new series of really good books. I love them! But the annoying thing is how stupid their names are. Seriously, I can't tell people the names of the books it's to embarrassing! They are really good books and I love them to death but I really want to rename them! So, I bet you're wondering what the names are. Fine, fine, I'll tell you but don't judge me on them, I know the names are retarded. The books I was reading before the library decided they wouldn't get any more in that series (So sad what will I do now?) were called the Clique books. The first one was called The Clique, then comes Best Friends for Never, then Revenge of the Wannabes, Invasion of the Boy Snatchers, The Pretty Committee Strikes Back and the one I'm trying to get is called Dial L for Loser. Yep. I know, the worst names ever! Remember don't judge them until you've read them! Now, the books that I'm reading right now also have a really bad representation of the books. I finished the first one, I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You. Now I'm reading the second one called, Cross My Heart And Hope To Spy. I know right! I'm not making this up! These are seriously great books with horrible names! Also I just found out the next book of those I'd Tell You I Love You books is called Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover. Which kind of goes along with my theme!

Parties, Springs, and Football

2008-10-12T11:56:00.000-07:00

So this weekend has been crazy! First on Friday I went over to my friend Lucia's house to get ready for a party we were going to. We got all party ready and actually did some homework we said we were going to do for Drama. We arrived at 6:00 at Tori's house. The birthday party was pretty fun. We had barbecue and played games.

Lucia and I had to leave early at 7:30. She had to go to Cheer party and I had to go to a hot springs place with Emilye, Ana, and Ana's boyfriend Danny. He's really outdoorsy and all so he wanted to take us to a hot springs. We had to leave at 7:30 because it takes like and hour and a half to get there. For those who don't know a hot spring is a like a 30 ft deep pond with warm water. We just sat on mossy rocks in the water or waded around. There were two guys there when we came and after like an hour a group of people came, one even scubadived. After a couple of hours we decided to leave. Em and I fell asleep as we rode home.

On Saturday I went to the BYU against UNM. It was sweet! I got all sparkily and had Y on both my cheaks with blue glitter. I had blue eyeshadow on my eyelids and another Y on my nose/forehead. It was an awesome game. I remember #88 made two touchdowns and my boy Collie, #9 made one and some sweet catches! The only anoying thing was when two Ute fans came and sat a little ways away. But it was fun glarring at them and smiling when we did something good. All in all it was really fun, and anyone who was disapointed with the 21-3 win, I really don't care. A win is a win. So be happy! (And Dana after this post is old I swear I will do the Tag.)

Photography Class

2008-09-24T18:04:00.001-07:00

Here some picture's I've taken and edited into Photo shop. Please comment, but don't judge to fiercely, I'm a beginner! (Plus I do see some sloppiness that I'm not proud of. But I have a time limit so I can't make things perfect! But I am going to fix them tomorrow because I'm a perfectionists.)

We'll start with a very simple out of focus.

Now for some noise.

Some color shapes
Some Cool Tricks

Always cool, just fooling around not that great.

Always cool replace color, sloppy job.

Hey a game! This is called picture in picture, try to find the three objects that don't belong! (Sloppy, I know I just wanted to get it passed off!)

This one was fun! It's sloppy, but I was running out of time! It's called color replacement.

So that's all I'm showing for now, I got more but this thing is already to long. Oh, and by the way: These pictures are the property of Brittanye Messerly and Mapleton Jr. Highschool. Any saving, copying or selling of these pictures will be punished by law.

My Life Is Complete

2008-09-10T15:28:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I just finished the Twilight Saga yesterday. The last book was AMAZING! Even though I don't know how I feel about the whole Jacob and Renesme thing. At first I was totally grossed out and wanted Jake to leave and never come back. From that I went to being okay but wanting him to stop being obsessive and go home once in a while!! But now I guess I'm okay with him. I still think that Twilight was the best book I've ever read. Breaking Dawn comes in a close 2nd and Harry Potter and The Uglies Trilogy neck and neck for 3rd. If you haven't read one of those series read them! So Yep I'm pretty dang happy about life now!!

Sorry, Sorry!

2008-09-06T22:18:00.001-07:00

I'm sorry, I haven't updated in a while. Probably because I got sucked into Twilight a week ago. Yep, I'm a Twilight Vampire freak now! I did it so my friend Lucia would read Harry Potter. Now I'm on Breaking Dawn and I LOVE it! I have always hated Jacob to death! But in this book I'm not hatting him as much. **Spoilers Ahead** I actually kind of like him!! It's because he's not being a total jerk like normal, he knows more about vampires and isn't so mean to them. (But I'm only like on page 320 or something so he could do something to make me hate him.) I also love Seth! He's so cute and funny. I love that he's best friends with Edward!

Anyhow, I've just really got caught all up in school and I've been suffering from a cold. I hate colds! But the plus is that Lucia feels soooo bad about giving it to me she's been nursing me to health. In Drama if i do so much as to blow my nose she grabs a halls. If I cough she goes about how sorry she is. I try not to say anything about it around her to make her think it's left! She keep saying that I should give it back to her. Hopefully I'll get over it. She's a really great friend though! See ya!

Greek Mythology

2008-08-23T16:00:00.001-07:00

Okay here are my basic views of Greek Mythology. If I don't mention someone that just means I don't care about them. I don't like Hera (Zeus's wife). She stands for marriage, children, and family. But not really! She's madly jealous and sneaks around in disguise messing up other god's lives. She says she's loves family and children but she only loves a perfect family. She even threw her son Hephaestus of Mt Olympus when he was a baby because he was deformed. I really hate her. I like Apollo a lot. He's the god of light and truth. He's also the twin of Artemis. I don't like her since she turned into a Huntress. But I like that Artemis is all for girl power. I of course don't like Ares the god of war, who does? Hephaestus is okay but a little bit of a hot head. Who could really blame him? He's gotten so mistreated. His wife Aphrodite (Goddess of love, beauty etc.) cheats on him with Ares all the time. She was forced to marry Hephaestus and hates his deformities so that's why. I kind of like Hermes. But he's the god of stealing, so not the best guy. But he also is the messenger god and the god of travel among other things. I really like Poseidon but that might just be because I'm reading a little about him in my book. He's the god of the sea and he made the horse out of sea foam. (So Bethany should like him.) Just to make sure you people don't freak out, I don't actually think Greek Mythology is real. I just think it's interesting. So thats my basic view of Greek Mythology.

School Blues

Today was the first day of school. All of my teachers a pretty cool and I friends in almost every class. But I still hate school! 1st period I have Algebra Advanced. The funny thing is that last year I had Prealgebra Advanced. And this year we have the exact same students in the class! So that's pretty cool. My teacher is awesome for the class as well! 2nd period I have Drama 2, then 3rd I have Science. I like my Science teacher she's actually nice. For 4th period I T.A (Teacher Assistant) for her. So I don't even have to leave. She's awesome to her T.As. She lets us eat or drink whatever. Then I go to lunch! 1st lunch!!!! With all the 7th graders!!! But I have Lucia, Jenny and Emily to get me through. Then after lunch I have US History, and 6th I have Photography. I absolutely love photography! My teacher is a little cucucachoo though. My last period is English. Which is nice. But I have a guy that likes me in that class. He's whatever, I wouldn't ever like him though. So yep that's my day!

Mini Flood

2008-08-18T22:18:00.000-07:00

Okay so today we had a mini flood! My mom left the dripping hose that waters her garden on and forgot about it. Well the soil got flooded and the water ended up going into our window well. When it got too full in the window well, of course it spilled out into Emilye's room. By the time my mom remembered it had been many hours. The window well was full pretty high with water and a circle of the carpet was soaked. My mom and sister, Ana worked on dumping out the water on the grass. I was on damage control for Em's room. I put towels on the window ledge and towels in trash cans to grab the water falling. I made a circle around the wetness with towels to make sure it didn't spread. I was running mad up and down the stars with new towel and stuff. The trash bin idea was genius by the way. My dad came home and got a WetVac from a neighbor. Right now the carpets ripped up and fans are airing out the pads under them.

The line shows how high the water came up.

Well how could you go wrong with an alliteration? So this is me writing about me and my life. I'm writing especially because I moved from California to Utah 2 years ago and I want my friends to know what I'm up to. You also have to know that I hate it here in Utah or you wont understand my blog or my life. But my now favorite saying is that, 'You can take the person out of Humboldt but you can't take Humboldt out of the person.' (Courtesy of Hannah Medley) That's where I grew up, Eureka California. Oh and one other thing you have to know about me is that I love animals and I'm obsessive over Greek Mythology.
