Beauty in the World.

Hey there. Mikah here.

I hope you guys like my new blog backround!! I was getting sick of the old one; I thought I needed to jazz things up!!

Well, you might be wondering why my post title is 'Beauty in the World'. I was reading my friend McKenzie's blog (Hi McKenzie!!), and her post actually inspired it. She was talking about how much she likes to capture the worlds beauty in photographs. I was on my playlist listening to one of my favorite songs, when I relized that it was called 'Beauty in the World'. The song is by Macy Gray, and I love it!! So, if your reading this McKenzie, this post is dedicated to you to show you how much I liked your post!! :) If you want to listen to it, here's the address. I will put it on my Link List too, just in case!!

Love you guys!!

I'm A Runner.

I am officially, a runner! Well, thats what my mom told me...
Here's the story:
My mom goes jogging several afternoons a week. So, on Monday, I asked her if I could go running with her. She told me she was running three miles, and told me I might want to just ride my bike; but I was up to a challenge. So, we left. We jogged really slow, but it makes your muscles work harder, so we did. She told me that everyone can run, but not everybody is a runner. She said a runner isn't the one who wants to get there first to get it over with. She said it was the kind of person who cared about the journy there. I found she was right after a while. I really obsorbed the whole scene. It was nice. When she found me smiling after I was done, she told me she definatly thought I was a runner.

Now, three days after, my legs are really sore. Well, I guess thats what you get when your a runner. Oh, well!!

Locker.

Help! I have a problem! I want to decorate my locker, but I have no idea how!! I was thinking I would do a theme, but is that too tacky? Maybe I'll just buy some cute magnets and a locker mirror and call it good. Maybe throw on a few pictures?
Today, I saw the actual size of the lockers. They're long, but teeny in the width department!! How am I gonna fit all my books in there?! And then, I found out that these lockers are 50 years old, and don't open to well!! What if, on my first day, I can't even get the stupid thing open?! And then, what if I am late every day because I can't get my things out?!! That would be so humiliating!!
I went to the school today to register for this school year. I'm taking AP English, AP Math, Life Science, and Geography as my core classes. Then, for my electives, I'm taking year round Choir, and 3 twelve week classes; Art, P.E., and Spanish. I figured that would help me be well rounded.
So, are you decorating you're locker? Do you have any good ideas? What classes are you guys taking?? Anyway, your answers could really help me here!! Love ya!!

Harry Potter.

Okay, I'll cut right to the chase. There has been hardly anything on my mind except for Harry Potter. About two years ago, I read all the books and stopped on the sixth, because it looked way to long. Then, when I went to see Eclipse [which was awesome!!] I saw the commercial for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; Parts One and Two!! That got me back on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!! I'm addicted. Its all I can think about!! I stayed up several nights in a row to read them, and I love it!!! I don't think about anything else! So, if you were foolish like me, and stopped reading Harry Potter, seriously try reading them again!!!

Family.

I love my family so much. They are the best people I could have surrounding me. But, I have to admit, when I got back from Girls Camp and started a conversation, I wanted to strangle my siblings for inturrupting!! My mom and dad were also going out the night I got home, so, because of those stupid little hormones of mine, I felt like my mom was only glad to have me back because she could have her babysitter again. I broke down in tears -being the drama queen I am- and, I say this honestly, accidently, and I truely mean accidently, made her feel bad. So, she called my dad up and said they would go out tommorrow (today) and that my dad and I would have a daddy-daughter date. Well, this made me feel bad since they were going out to celebrate his birthday, their anniversery, and father's day. I have such willing and nice parents. And here I am, blogging about it. I think I can be so messed up sometimes...

Girls Camp!!

I am so excited!! Girls Camp is on its way...
it'll be here tomorrow!! We are going to a place called Osage Hills. Its still owned by the Indians- they have mineral rights on it and everything!! If you want to stay there, you have to ask their permission before you even touch the dirt!! Luckily, we already got permission, and paid our fees. Apparently, the Young Women did a fundraiser before I came that paid for my fees too!! So, technically, I got in completely free! I got all my stuff packed, well, except for my toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, basically all my cleanliness stuff.
We get to sleep in cabins and have a swimming pool to swim in! We also have a mess hall {I think thats what its called...}. The cabins and mess hall {again, ?} are air conditioned- which is really nice. I heard the beds are kinda nasty, so I'm bringing a sheet to put over it! Its probably gonna rain a little bit when we're there too, so I have to bring a rain poncho and light weight jacket.
Nate went off to Scout Camp today, at 2 in the morning!! It took them about four hours to get there!! He told me about this one thing he has to do there where he has to survive a whole entire day on his own!! Yikes!! I don't know about you guys, but I probably couldn't survive a day all by myself! I know Nate can do it though... he is much stonger than I am.

Bon Voyage'!!

To Burn, or Not To Burn?

'To burn, or not to burn? That is the question. When you swim in the pond, you forget to slather your delicate epidermis with the sweet dripping protection of the bottle thereof.'
That, is just a fancy Shakesperian way of saying that I got a sunburn on my shoulders because I forgot to re apply sunscreen every two hours. It hurts, really bad!! Although, I must say its getting better. Now, I have to say that, because it is doing better, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt!!! 'Cause boy does it burn and sting!! I think the sun hates me. Really! It seems like its cursed me with this blistering burn because I'm just, I'm, I'm...
I can't think of the word!!!
So, when you go swimming this summer...
All I'm saying is that the sun will hate you too, so protect your 'delicate epidermis with the sweet dripping protection of the bottle thereof'-if you know what I mean!! :)
