Yes. That's right. This 16 year who thought she was invincible apparently now has an allergy. Not the kind that means I have to sneeze and cough and have watery eyes. And fortunately it isn't the kind where my throat swells to the point of no breathing either. No it's the nice allergic reaction of swelling, hives, welts and non-stop itching. :( Ever since Tuesday night, I have had red patches of welts all over my body and I have baking soda/water soaked paper towels covering my legs while I am typing this. My face is swollen, my left hand is very uncomfortable and I have my own cocktail of drugs I get to take every 4 hours. And the best news ---- I have no idea what I'm allergic to.;):roll: It is either the brownie that my mom brought home Tuesday night (it was made from this flour-less stuff) or I didn't get all the chlorine off of me Monday after I went to my mom's water aerobic class. Either way, I'm homebound until I look human again. My top lip was swollen last night and I looked like a cross between Rocky and a Who from Who-ville. :roll:. But of course there is good news. I got to miss co-op today, and I look just freaky enough to miss work tomorrow. And I get to live off of ice cream for the time being. I'll have to work it all off once I'm better, but I get to enjoy some chocolately goodness. And best of all--- I'm on steroids!!!:lol::lol::lol: And no, they don't work.:|:( According to my geometry teacher, I should get a real buzz from them, but I'm only going to be on them for 5 days so apparently that isn't long enough to feel the high.:? and this coming from my geometry teacher. I'm still waiting for my benedryl to kick in so... I'll be sitting here for the next hour or two looking for a way to skin myself before the rest of the drugs knock me out.:) Love ya'll! Julianne

I was looking at my ballet companies web site, and found this. I busted out laughing.:lol: That's me doing Algebra (:?) during spacing from last year's Roar. ;)

OMG! OMG! OMG! *is spazzing* *hyperventilates* Okay. So we have this huge performance each year called the Roar of Love. It is based off of the lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It is our annual big ballet. But we do it performance style not that little recital way. If you were a ballet dancer at my studio, Roar casting is the meaning of your existence. My friend just called me and told to check casting and --- I'M THE WHITE WITCH!!!!!!! I was screaming over the phone! She is like Odette in Swan Lake. She is like Sugar Plum Fairy in Nutcracker! Only meaner. I could not believe my eyes! I think I blasted my BFF's ears out. :oops: I am not kidding you. I have never been this scared casting wise EVER. I mean, I have to do al these crazy lifts and do forty billion piourettes and I am on pointe the whole performance. My feet will be bleeding by the end of the weekend. I. am. going. to die! I'm gonna throw up. And then I'm gonna die!!!! I don't know whether I'm excited, or simply suicidal now!!! This is huge. The biggest role of my life!!!! I really don't think I can do, but the Good Lord has surprised me before. help!

Muahahahahahaha! I can do this! So far!!! Ya'll are going to have to poke me to make sure I stay awake in this. Endza's friends are the nicknames to what my BFFs are in real life just in case you are wondering.:) Chapter 3!

I'm writing another one! Which may contribute to my downfall! I did dedicate this to you guys! I thought I had typed it in, but it didn't show up. But this is for my SMackers, and D/Lers and Flack and Angell...ers.:P Enjoy! It gets intense! One's Own Purpose in Life

Okay. I would love to make "trailers" or music videos from my ballet DVDs.... if knew how. So, here's the deal. I have a Mac computer and I would like to use imovie on my Mac. Does anyone have any idea how to take clips from my DVDs and make place them into a specific order on a Mac? Anyone? If you do, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase tell me! I shall forever be ......... sending you chocolate!:lol: Thanks! Vave

I got a new puppy!!!!:D He is the cutest thing. If you read my blog last week, you know that my other brittany, Mac, had gotten hit by a car when he and his sister Kimi got out of the car last Saturday. So Friday, my dad and my siblings drove to VA and got a new puppy from the breeder who breeds brittanys. And we got Chester.:) He is 7 weeks old and as cute as a button. If only he didn't pee every five minutes.:roll::P

Today, when my mom picked me up from ballet, I found out that my brittany spaniel Mac had been killed. He was hit by a car around 4:00. He and his little sister, Kimi the akita mix, had gotten out when my dad was cutting the grass and apparently headed for the busy road we live by. My parents drove around and then drove up the road that leads to the busy street. Two sheriff's officers were pulled over and directing traffic. One was holding Kimi, while the other was carrying Mac out the street. Kimi was fine, but Mac was already gone. The police pulled over when they saw Kimi darting from the side of the road back into the middle of the street--- were Mac was. She wouldn't leave him. The officers looked at the tags and tried calling my parents but of course they weren't home because they were out looking for the dogs. But some how they went on to busy street and found the officers. The police men were very kind and very sorry for our loss. My mom took Mac home and my Dad dug a hole in the back yard. He asked my mom if we should get him cremated, but my mom made a point by saying that the backyard was his place. After I got home, I went into the backyard and visited him and said my good byes. Kimi came by me and seemed to be waiting for her brother to get up. I don't know how long I was sitting out there, but long enough to examine how he died and to realize that he wasn't going to get up. I don't think it occurred to me that my puppy wasn't going to get up when I petted his neck and I realized that I couldn't grab all the extra skin he was supposed to grow into. It was stuck and unmovable. I know the CSI in me had kicked in a while ago but I wish I didn't know any of it because it didn't make it any easier. Nothing that I knew of was broken but he had urinated on himself and he was bleeding from his stomach. Internal injuries obviously. I don't care how he died as long as he went quickly. I was the one to bury him. My eight year old sister tried to help but couldn't. My mom was crushed and my dad wasn't home. I didn't lose it until I had to bury his head. I'm going to miss my baby. He wasn't even two yet.:( And Kimi won't stop whimpering. You remember this picture? This is when we got him only a year and a half ago. Mac and Kimi This is when he fell asleep in my moms arms. It was really funny.:P

America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, just got a new president, as I found out at 9:00 this morning. My friends, at 9:00 this morning,.....I lost my freedom. And no, I am NOT over exaggerating. But I won't stop fighting. I can only imagine what communist ideas Barack has in store and I won't let my country go down without a fight. Of course one girl can't do much, but I know that there are others out there who feel the same way. America has gone through hardships before. I'm just scared that I have to face one so young. But even through all of this, I will continue to say "GOD BLESS AMERICA!" (I think if you all were allowed to bash on Bush for the past 8 years, I think I'm allowed to voice my opinion on Obama.)

Okay, I am 16 years. I have just started my life and even though I can't vote yet, I am not willing to give up my freedom to Socialism and communism. Obama will bring change, but not the kind we need. He will snatch the troops from Iraq, thus more 9/11 will occur here in the US. He believes in infanticide, the killing of babies. It is murder. It is not a women's choice of what to do with her body, the baby is a separate human being from the get go. Just remember that you were at that stage of life once too. A baby is a not punishment for a woman screwing around before getting married. Abortion has worse affects than having the baby.
He will raise taxes! Even though I work at McDonalds, I still work hard! And I don't want to look at my paycheck one day and realize that half of it was taxed off! He says he will lower taxes for the middle class--- who don't even pay income taxes. All the people who pay taxes are the upper middle class and further-- the people who worked hard in school and got a degree and got a real job and know how to manage their money---like my parents. The money earned by the people who worked for it will be given to people who didn't. I choose McCain because he will lower taxes. Lowering taxes give people more freedom when it comes to spending it thus the economy will get stronger. Not to mention that the unemployment rate will be lower. Bush had an amazing economic plan, but the media would never let you know. The reason that he is getting blame is because he is in office but he is trapped by Congress which is democratic. They bullied banks into giving unreliable people bad loans on purpose because then by this bailout, they pretty much control the country.
McCain will also keep us in the war. No, none of us want it, not even McCain, but the people serving over there love their country and didn't sign up for nothing. They have worked hard and we have succeeded in many achievements that you will never hear on the news. Did you know that since we have been over there, that 90%, if not higher, of the children have been vaccinated for polio? That is wonderful news. McCain has the experience in this field. He is a war veteran and a war hero. No, he is not the candidate I would have picked first, but I'm sure that he can get the job done. If this still hasn't convinced you, think of it this way. A poll was taken a few months ago among TV actors and celebrities. Almost all the actors voted for Obama and Hillary while all the producers, directors and company presidents voted for McCain and Romney (this was before the definite candidates). Now why was this? The actors were getting paid by simply acting. They don't care where the money comes form, just as long as they get paid. (This isn't to sound mean at all. There are many TV actors that I adore) but who is paying the actors? The producers and company presidents. If taxes go up, like they will if Obama becomes president, the budget will go up. Thus people will have to be cut. Think of every one of your favorite actors/actresses being cut from a show just because they network doesn't have the money to pay them. We will have more actor strikes and more writer strikes and I KNOW that that is the last thing any of us want. This is the top country in the world for a reason. We have only had one 9/11 attack for a reason. Because of Capitalism and avoiding Socialism. Don't vote for Obama just because he is the popular guy.
When you vote on Tuesday, think of all the people who gave their lives at the birth of this great country. McCain believes in everything that they did. When we first started this country, we immigrated from Europe to get away from high taxes and a controlling government. Our founding Fathers had a dream. Now let's keep it going. I want to stay in the USA, not feel like I have moved to China. Now I leave you with this: 'Twas the night before elections And all through the town Tempers were flaring Emotions all up and down! I, in my bathrobe With a cat in my lap Had cut off the TV Tired of political crap. When all of a sudden There arose such a noise I peered out of my window Saw Obama and his boys They had come for my wallet They wanted my pay To give to the others Who had not worked a day! He snatched up my money And quick as a wink Jumped back on his bandwagon As I gagged from the stink He then rallied his henchmen Who were pulling his cart I could tell they were out To tear my country apart! ' On Fannie, on Freddie, On Biden and Ayers! On Acorn, On Pelosi' He screamed at the pairs! They took off for his cause And as he flew out of sight I heard him laugh at the nation Who wouldn't stand up and fight! So I leave you to think On this one final note- IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM GET OUT AND VOTE!!!! Yes, I may be 16. Yes, I may only have been alive for 2 presidents. But I'm not ignorant. I know how blessed i am for living in this country. People form Mexico are sneaking in here just to work in fields ion California! There is no pure bread American. We came from all over the world so we could have a better life. My great grandparents survived the Armenian massacre and came here to escape. A country that goes to war with us, becomes free in the end. Now tell me, Have you Forgotten?
