QUICK QUESTION...

how come groups of friends are pretty much all the same? you have..the funny one, the pretty one, the "hot" one, the ditsy one and the one that just kinda tags along...i'm sure if you know me and my group of "friends" you'd know who each person is. but really..that sums up the groups of girls in high school. that's kinda irritating. i'm hoping that when i go to washington i will have one really good friend.

i'm tired of being the one that people come to when there is nobody else.
i'm tired of hearing..oh we have to invite shanell cuz that'd be rude if we didn't...things of that nature are said about me all the time and i'm done.
all they ever did was think about themselves.

but then...would it be better for them to not invite me at all or invite me out of pity..? hmmmm. haven't decided.

the computer is never good for me. i sit and reflect on EVERYTHING. not good. i always wind up in these crazy moods. lame. oh well.

i'm getting really annoyed with these stupid pop-ups. when did this happen? lame. whatev.




peace.

blah blah blah. shanell is bored. i wish i could do osmehting. i meant something. too lazt to change eet. lazy. dang it. wow. that's how bored i is. that i meant to do..bleeeh. my mommy sent me a box. a box filled with stuff. a box filled with stuff such as hot cheetos. a box filled with stuff such as hot cheetos and rice a roni. a box filled with stuff such as hot cheetos and rice a roni and graham crackers. a box filled with stuff such as hot cheetos and rice a roni and graham crackers and beans! a box filled with stuff such as hot cheetos and rice a roni and graham crackers and beans and el pato. a box filled with stuff such as hot cheetos and rice a roni and graham crackers and beans and el pato and hair. a box filled with stuff such as hot cheetos and rice a roni and graham crackers and beans and el pato and hair and popcorn. a box filled with stuff such as hot cheetos and rice a roni and graham crackers and beans and el pato and hair and popcorn and a new celly. and i got some new kicks last night. and i tried calling my mommy and she didn't answer. how rude. im hurt. not really. im sure she was working. im sure...

will you please tell me whether or not i will be making a trip to 6 flags..?

i had some boysenberry punch which put a cap on an super duper day for me. thanks gramma j. i wub yoooou. hollaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

so, yesterday i took a little trip on up to buena park. 'twas a joyous occasion. here's the scary coaster entitled boomerang.

while in line, the operator felt the need to keep telling everyone that it takes you 9 million miles up and drops you at great speeds and takes you 9 million miles up again..this time backward. needless to say, my stomach was in my throat. i wouldn't say i'm afraid of heights, just uncomfortable. i could never be a dare devil...

here's the craaazy coasta from a frontal angle.

i also learned that i am four days older than it. right away i got confident and knew i could take it down. i did. you know it. funny how that works.

we also found a wonderful one called silver bullet. amazingly there was practically no line at all. it was by far one of the greatest coasters. although it did push on my intestines quite a bit, i sucked it up, took it like a man and enjoyed myself. so...i'm confused. it's called silver bullet and yet its colors are red and yellow..? odd.

so, i don't really have anything against wooden coasters, but really? does it need to be huge and ridiculous?!? ghostrider was incredibly painful and of course the first one we rode. here's a picture of how ridiculous the first drop is...don't these people know they are about to freaking die?!? obviously not. we were actually scared. we didn't know the drop would be that intense. the whole ride was intense.

of course, after that, we had to take it down a few notches. i said we should do the hat dance... i was told no. shame. we rode the dragon swing instead. jen was asked to be a parent for some little kids. hahaha.

perilous plunge was suggested...no. just no. go up 5000 feet and come STRAIGHT down in a boat with a stupid lap bar into a large puddle and get soaked..no thank you.

we just HAD to go on the wilderness scrambler. it's clearly a pic of me and jen. clearly. i'm the little boy.

here we are again!!

haha. this one. well, when we were walking over to it..jen made a comment about how it's a baby ride. well, we got in line and realized baby ride it was not. you are beyond parallel to the ground AND spinning. we walked out of line right quick. of course, i had to make fun of her for underestimating the likes of la revolución. funny funny.

all in all, a good time was had. we had just enough money for what we wanted to buy. mostly because knott's doesn't completely rip you off. 3.25 for a burrito..i'll buy it. 12.65 for a burrito...no. take that disneyland!! aaaand...to get in it was, drumroll please, 31.95 how much is disneyland? 57? prolly. the lines weren't bad either. do i recommend knott's? indeed i do. do i recommend perilous plunge? only if you wanna die. oh yeah...pepe-pancho says hi.

praise you in this storm by casting crowns.




I was sure by now
God you would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again,
I say amen
that it’s still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear your whisper through the rain,
I’m with you
and as your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.

And i’ll praise you in this storm
and i will lift my hands
that you are who you are
no matter where I am
and every tear I’ve cried
you hold in your hand
you never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise you in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
you heard my cry you raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can’t find you
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear you whisper through the rain
I’m with you
and as your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth

HAPPY AUGUST AND SUCH.



woot. it is finally august. you know what that means? 28 days and i get to finally see my mommy. :D im super excited.

in other news...why is my shampoo protein shampoo salon formula with moisturizing marine algae extract and my conditioner...hawaiian ginger root conditioner salon formula with lemon complex..? why cant i just have shampoo...and...conditioner?!? why does everything have to be so..tarded? the shampoo and conditioner is a perfect example of how ridiculous people are...why can we only buy or utuilize a product if its name is 5 million words long? i would be perfectly content with shampoo and conditioner. none of this lemon complex...what the heck IS a lemon complex?!? why does an inanimate object have a complex..? does it think it's fat? whatev. stupid stupid stupid.

but enough about me...how are you?

so, i went to the beach yesterday. i had a lotta fun. so, as we all know...we've had some icky weather lately. it's either hot and humid or raining and humid. now, dont get me wrong..i LOVE the rain..just not when it's gross out. and it was...gross out. as we were approaching the beach in the vehicular mobile, i looked out on the water...and saw a beautiful horizon. i was in awe.
this picture doesn't even begin to capture what i saw. oh well. so, we get out of the car and sat around and waited for the other carload of people to get a parking spot. so, we get out on the sand. it was a healthy temperature. nice and warm. so, we all get ready and go out. the waves were huge. luckily they weren't super powerful. but i did get eaten. :D

the waves were seriously like, 12 million feet tall. if you look very closely, you'll see megan standing on her boogie board(she tried for ever to get up on it. go you!) and im on top on my sea doo. :P

so, we had a lot of fun. i loooove gloomy days. i love looking at the clouds. i love the clouds when they are completely flat on the bottom and puffy all around. i just love the color of the sky. it was like, grey and yellow and stuff. it was neat.


we also sat and watched a sandpiper run around. that was really neat.

so, essentially, it was a fantastic day. even the sunset was crazy. tally told us about how right when the sun sets, there is a green flash. i saw it but i didn't say anything.

after the sun had gone down, me and megan went and put our feet in the water. we had a good convo. my hole was totally bigger than hers. haha. the water was actually quite warm.

tally found waldo. we went to the backpack party. well, we almost did.

im done.

Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause." Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee with a caller: "Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor, I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
".......Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
".......Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Ah, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still
have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."
funny stuff i think...

The sun goes down, and then she slips away.
It gets so lonely after dark.
If only we could relive yesterday.
Tomorrow always seems so far.
Ooooh, ooooh, ooh
Ooooh, ooooh, ooh
The end is near; so much is left to say.
The world is getting cold tonight.
The traumatized people are so afraid.
I smile 'cause everything's alright.

if you can care enough to take the time to tell me i'll have fun up there, why cant you care enough to take the time to make sure i have fun down here? just a question...that happens to be rhetorical. which means i do not require a response. so only do so if it's a matter of life and death.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i left a freaking stick of chapstick in my pocket and did some laundry. now i have spots ALL over my clothing. and of course im cool and only have one load of laundry so its all over EVERYTHING. what the crap is that?!?



i love how i really utilize the color option...:D

The Tide by Newsboys
think I'll wait for the tide
seems it's all I can do right now
there must be a reason
I've run aground
I'll wait for the waves
to come
by the moon and the tide
like a man and his bride
I will wait
on you, Lord
and we will run so far from here
to your.........safety in the storm
there is courage for the simple man
to the holders of secrets and scars
learning to stand with reaching arms
we'll wait till the very last
no matter what will be
you're always good
always good
to me

happy birthday.
