Have y'all heard?? Sis2Dog is sweeping the nation! Its the best band since (Insert really old famous band)
Last night Dad, Linz and me formed an awesome band on Rock band! we had so much fun switching off between guitar, drums, and vocals. It was the funniest when Linz was guitar, I was drums, and steve was vocals. It was pretty spectacular.. until we tried medium. we were like okay this is getting easy so we put it on a hard song on medium . we got booed off the stage.
then dad left and me and linz put the mic on a stool in between us and i played g. linz played D. and we were both yelling into the mic! Our record for that song was 38% completed until we were booed off! We couldnt stop laughing just yelling WE HAVE TWENTY NINE FINGERS AND ALL WE DO IS FUN AND ONLY HAVE 6 THUMBS then it morphed into ALKNCOEIHOENO:AN:COENNVUN@ONIWENV*(ERGKIRGUIHWCNWOPJWOEIFJN!!!!!!! Best night ever.

Hey fellow bloggers!! Aka my wonderful wonderful Family!! Stay off the roads because Forever Growing Lily has her LICENSE!!! It is so so so great! the first time I drove by myself was when mom went to the bank and when she was in the bank she let me take the car to McDonald's! IT WAS SO COOL!! I bet the lady thought i took the car without asking cause i was all giggly! oh oh and the best part was when she shut the window and I saw my reflection! Let me tell you, I looked SO cool! then i drove to church that night and school the next day and then Friday I met my friend Brooke at the mall. I'm so happy I feel like quoting Martin Luther King Jr. .."

Okay so my sister is my best friend in the world and we are so so so different..

As I was reading her blog (opinions of a humble sponge) I noticed that every one of her blogs is so positive and cheery..where as mine are kind of depressing. So when asked Linz, are you ever sad and disappointed, she replied..

"Lily, of course I get sad AND disappointed...I just have the wonderful blessing of finding an everlasting joy that is hard to falter."

I admire my sister so much.

"I don't wanna spend this Friday night...(THIS FRIDAY NIGHT) like I had to spend Last Friday night(LAST FRIDAY NIGHT)I don't want to spend this Friday night
dying by the reccord machine (THE RECORD MACHINE OH OH) "

I've been making some new friends in school because none of my old friends are in my classes anymore, so last night I had my new group of friends over to hang out. It was so much fun! Logan came home and brought qwelf with him. So he joined in and it was a blast. My friend Brooke was HILARIOUS! she got a rule card that said she had to act like a gnome that was grumpy because he burned his cookes for the duration of the game and boy did she pour her heart and soul into that job. It was so funny her voice and face and mannerisms..priceless. I wish i would have gotten a picture!

Then today I went with Logan to Levi's apartment and we played this really sick game called world of goo or something like that and it was pretty awesome. then we went to zaxby's with mom and the guys decided they're going to move to New York and be like trip and jenna

Watson family! C'mon!

Last year, my friend Dariana Rivera got Leukemia. She went through treatment and the cancer went in remisson. We were so excited because she would be back at school in January! I was so excited! but then January comes around and she's not here and they told us she was back in the hospital. I went to see her yesterday. The cancer had come back and they were fighting it again but that left her immune system down so she got an infection. Now her lungs are filling up with fluid and the doctors say she only has a couple of weeks left. So please please please pray for Dariana and her family!!

this is a picture of me and my friend Katy visiting her last year before she started her first round of treatment

disastre!!!!!

2009-01-21T14:03:00.002-06:00

Hola mi familia y otro bloggers! Guess what happened to me last night!...I'll leave you some space so you can guess..

...

I got in a car wreck!! What fun! (that was sarcasm) I was on my break at dance and my friend Carly and I decided to go get some dinner at subway like we usually do. Carly asked me to hold her free cup of water for her so i did but then it spilled. We were trying to get it clean and carly looked away from the road for like a second but it was a second to long because she started turning and then over-corrected and we lost control of the car. We hit a tree. hard. the airbags came out and guess what else? air-bags hurt like no other!!!!!!However it was probably good they came out because we were not hurt. I have a huge bruise on my left knee my right thigh and my right elbow and my hands are scraped from the air bag but I'm so so so thankful we are fine! and im so thankful we only hit a tree and not anybody else.
Carly was really upset. We got out of the car and she like lost her mind she was so upset! I started crying watching her fall apart but this nice couple stopped and told me to call her mom so I did and then I called her dad and then I called my mom but she already heard from Carly's mom and was on her way. We were going to not call the police so she didn't have to report it to her insurance but then we heard sirens because some one else called. They kept asking us our ages and whether or not we were wearing our seatbelts. We were, thank God, because I truly believe that if I wasn't wearing my seat belt I would have flown through the windshield. It hurts where the seatbelt was because i was thrust forward so much!
It was THE scariest experience I have ever been through!! I had to give the paramedics all my information because I said I didn't want to go to the hospital.
I was so so so scared!!
I learned a lot though because now i know how easily you can get distracted while driving and how quickly you can lose control of the car!

yay!!!!!!! What a fun weekend!!!

2009-01-18T17:18:00.002-06:00

Okay so this is by far the best weekend ever! We got out of school on Friday because it was cold. (I know its the stupidest reason ever but hey! I'm not complaining!) Friday night Dad took me to J Alexanders and then we went to TPAC and saw the Wizard of OZ! it was so cute!! (flat max enjoyed it too!) Saturday I went to a baby shower for one of the youth group leaders at my church. My good friend Allie got her licence this week so sat. night she picked me up and we went to see Bride Wars * It was so fun to be able to go and not have to text our parents when to pick us up and everything. I was like FREEEEDOM!! Sunday we bought a wii and rockband and I have been playing ever since. My band is called Zebra Converse. Tonight Brooke and Allie are sleeping over.

* Bride Wars- funny but makes me kind of embarrassed to be a girl.

Break Dance update: I've been trying to teach myself. Results: Bruises and Mom coming in and asking me why the house was shaking.

UGH!!!!!!! What a rut of a week!

2009-01-11T16:49:00.004-06:00

Wow okay sorry everyone for not blogging!!!! I've missed out on a lot of great posts! I'm so sad I missed sandra's guess who post!!! I would have loved that! but anyways the first week back at school was rough! I was almost falling asleep in all my classes cause my sleep schedule was all weirded out! (don't worry i never actually fell asleep!)
Friday night I went to this party/get together at my friend sarah's house. I was bored out of my mind ! it was just not my scene! The guys there were so unbelievably annoying and obnoxious! We watched anchorman (which is just not my kind of humor) and ugh it was probably one of the worst nights of my life....
Things are looking up though cause i was looking through the attic and i found this awesome leather jacket that was in the costume box.. I'm so going to wear it! it is THE perfect jacket
Hopefully this week will be better! I'm going to head into it with a good attitude and optimism and maybe it will reflect on the week! Fingers crossed!
Hey sibilings!!! If y'all know anyone who break dances and would like to give me tips let me know!

2009, Watch out, Lily is coming!!

2009-01-02T23:28:00.005-06:00

Happy 2009 everyone! Isn't that so weird? I am going to drive this year. AAH!!! I'm so excited!! Okay so I just wanted to share with y'all my goals for the upcoming year.

I want to learn how to breakdance! (Like the girl in step up 2)

I want to have healthy relationships (Family, friends, any potential guys, and God)

Be a safe driver (no wrecks, tickets, etc.)

Succeed in School (get good grades and join a club to put on my resume)

Grow closer to God and stop trying to control my life. God is handeling it!

Create something! ( I want to actually do something, like write a book, or write a song, paint a painting, or just make something)

Drink more water, eat more protein, and get more muscle

Improve as much as i can in Guitar and Dance

Broaden my friendships

So there you go! Nine for Oh Nine!

Today I watched some videos from past trips to Peru. None that i went on but they made me want to cry. I realized that I'm not done with Peru yet. I want to go back so badly! I miss it terribly and want to help more. Please pray that God has it in his plans for me!!

I love y'all and can't wait to share another year!

Christmas 08

2008-12-28T20:32:00.002-06:00

Okay so I'm going to give a recap of my christmas...

We celebrated christmas with my mom's side of the family first. I was very suprised to see that my Pap-pa bought himself a wii! I thought it was so funny! I got a couple of Cds and Movies and a really great fleece jacket.
On Christmas eve we watched Miracle on 31st street. Then we went to the Hancock's party! Linds found some UT Alumni to talk to . And we sat on the Stairs like always.
Christmas was great! Santa brought me more Cds, dvds, a great guitar case, some knit boots, and Rockband. Unfortunately Logan's Xbox broke! but thats okay, we played this AMAZING game that Logan got called quelf. it was hilariously fun!
The next day we went to Texas! It was so fun seeing all my cousins. Especially Max and Stephen who I hadn't seen in a while. However it wasn't the same without Aunt Sheryl.
Today I went to the Mall with my cousin Sydney and her friend Panda. I didn't buy anything but now i really wish I had gotten that t-shirt i found!!

Perfect Sister Morning, Weird Brother Afternoon

2008-12-23T16:07:00.003-06:00

Today I woke up and made cinnamon toast and hard boiled eggs and coffee and brought it up to my sister, Lindsey's, room. We put on my Pride and Prejudice soundtrack and read our books.

Later that day Logan, my brother, and I sang Mamma Mia for a while in my room. Then we watched this really really wierd episode of seventh heaven!! The dad died and went to heaven but then came back to life.. It was fun to make fun of.

Logan just switched salaries back.

I guess life is not fair

the game of Life

2008-12-22T12:03:00.002-06:00

I am currently playing the game of Life with my brother and sister. I am a superstar, life in a country cottage, and make 70,000 dollars every payday. I also have a baby girl! (i got a life piece for that) I think i might name her Lyla Kherrington.

OH WAIT!! i just landed on the space that says i can trade with any other player's salary! I just switched with Logan so now i get 90,000 dollars!

We are so bored. Lindsey and I really don't want to be playing is right now, but Logan is forcing us. I might die of boredom. I'll write later and tell you if i survive...

Forever Growing Lily

2008-12-20T10:46:00.000-06:00

okay so i haven't posted anything in FOREVER and actually, i was thinking about just not using this blog anymore.. but then a blogging frenzy went through my family the past couple of weeks and they are all pressuring me to write a blog. So i went to go start one, and then I remembered that i already did a long time ago! so I'm starting to write again.
I'm not going to delete all the stuff i put on here a long time ago, but let me just say that i have changed so much since then. I no longer think my life is boring! I learned to appreciate it. The name of my blog fits my life perfectly. My name is Lily, and even though i think I have everything figured out mostly, i most likely don't. I am therefore foreverly growing.

wanting to fight wars and be loved by vampires and werewolves

2008-06-10T18:45:00.000-05:00

I think I get way too into movies than I should. Like when I watch them I feel like the characters are my friends and family and everything happening to them is happening to me. So when I live my actual life... its completely boring. Has anyone else ever struggled with this? I call it struggling with anti-climax. How am i expected to have fun doing nothing when my "friend" Lucy is fighting wars in a magical world and my other "friends" Ron and Hermione are battling the most evil source of evil there is. And its not just movies either... its the same with books! My "friend" Bella is in love and loved by a vampire and a werewolf. Me? I basically sit at home all day gaining weight.

Advice??

(I put "" around friends because I am using the term loosely. I have real friends too!!)

Just Me.

2008-06-09T21:27:00.001-05:00

Okay so I've never had a blog before so I'm not 100% sure what I'm supposed to "blog" about. I think I'm going to use it like an online journal.
The title of my first post is named Just Me. for a reason. I know it's cliche to be all "just be yourself!" but that's what I live by. Or at least I try to live by.

Here are a couple things that define "me"

I am a teen girl, sister, daughter, friend, dancer, and a believer
I am in love with three different guys. They are all fictional characters.
I have a Savior who died for me.
I struggle with anti-climax
I have a passion. It is to dance
I am sometimes the most secure person ever. And sometimes I am so not.
I wish I was a zebra. Or at least I wish I owned one.
I am terrified of home invaders
I speak Gilmore. (as in Gilmore Girls)
I am also a complete and total book nerd!
