I've never had an official sneak out before.
I say official because I've had two attempts. I was reminded of them today and thought I'd share.
My first experience with this was at my best friends birthday party. We slept in a tent in her back yard and we all wanted to sneak out. We had it planned way before the party. Anyway, we planned to go chalking. So after her parents thought we went out to the tent to sleep we tiptoed across the grass, through her front yard, and headed to the car. We went to Smith's and then decided what lucky house to decorate with our talent of chalking. But, once we got there we realized we forgot the chalk. So we just went back to her house and got back into the tent. Her dad asked her about it the next day, he could hear her dog barking. We did kind of sneak out, but I don't count it because it wasn't from my own home.
My next sneak out attempt was just last summer. Or around that time. It was a Sunday morning and we had some cousins over who left before church started, they had somewhere to be. We joked about not wanting to get ready after partying with them all night. And so when they left, Julia, Mitchell, Spencer, and I decided to go hide and see how long it took for our parents to come tell us to get ready for church. Julia, Mitchell and I hid in my room between the dresser and the wall. It's a very small space and there was no room at all, but we fit. Spencer closed himself in my closet and we just sat there, waiting. And waiting. Spencer couldn't hold still and kept saying how "squished" he was because of all the shoes. We thought it was funny because he probably had way more room than the rest of us. Anyway, about ten minutes later my dad walked in, looked at the closet door and said a cheesy remark that was meant to let us know he knew we were in the closet. Which we weren't in the closet, just Spencer. But then he left.
We didn't know what to do. Should we give up the game and just go get ready? Should we stay there all day? Or should we climb out my window? CLIMB OUT THE WINDOW!!!! :) And so we did. We climbed out my bedroom window and sat there for a bit, hiding from our neighbor, hoping that he didn't see us. We pretended to be secret agents as we held our hands in guns and crawled around to the back of the house. It was about a half hour later when we decided to take it a step farther. We called the house. We could hear my dad from inside answer and we all started to laugh and just hung up. After about ten more minutes we secret agented again and headed back through my bedroom window. We put the screen back in place and took up our hiding places once again, as if nothing had happened.
When no one came we decided to move. It was a tight fit and rather uncomfortable. We walked out to the kitchen to find my dad eating lunch. He didn't seem too concerned by the fact that we were still in pajamas. I don't know if they ever even found out about us climbing out the window and running around the house like the weirdos that we are (guess they'll find out now since they are some of the few people who read this) so I guess it could count as a sneak out. But we didn't really leave our yard so I still think of it as an unofficial one.
One day I'll sneak out for real. And it will be great. ;)

Lists
The summer before my senior year I went through this weird phase where I loved making lists. I don't know why I enjoyed it so much, but I did. I'd make lists of random movies, of things I could see, of things I should have changed, and of random facts about me or people I knew. It only lasted about a week so I don't have too many lists. But I found them funny and thought I'd put one on here. :)
5 Random things about me right now (August 3, 2009 @ 12:21 am)
1. I think that "golf" is one of the weirdest words ever
2. I need to see the Wizard of Oz to get courage
3. My knees are tanner than the rest off my legs by a lot!
4. My fingernails look like a rainbow threw up on them.
5. I love Reese's!
And that is my list. :) At one point I even got Julia and Spencer to join in on the list making.
5 Random things about Spencer by Sorine (August 4, 2009)
1. He is the 5th of 6 kids
2. He gets a smug look on his face when he is trying to make a point
3. When he tells a story he starts from the beginning - the way beginning that usually has nothing to do with the rest of the story
4. He used to run around in his diapers constantly
5. He is pretty much always wearing socks.
5 Random things about Sorine by Julia (August 4, 2009)
1. She is 6
2. Her 18th birthday is in a couple of months
3. She wants to get married in the Manti Temple
4. She writes in her journal and reads her scriptures every night even when I want to watch a movie with her and she makes me wait.
5. She is the princess of EFY (not queen because she isn't married yet.)
And those are the lists. :) We sat in our front room forever making lists. We are easily entertained. :)
Just for fun, I'll make a list of right now.
5 things I hope to do this week
1. Finish cleaning my room/unpacking (yes, still working on that)
2. Go to the Zoo
3. See my best friend Alora!
4. Get a job!!!!
5. Stay happy. :)
The End. :)

Green Feet
I like to mow the lawn barefoot. It probably isn't the safest thing in the world, but I do it anyway. I love the feeling of freshly cut grass on my feet. I love that it turns my feet that green color. And I love watching the water in the tub turn green when I wash my feet afterwards.
Yesterday, I mowed the lawn. Barefoot. My mom saw I was going to do it barefoot and said "That isn't the best idea, you might cut off your toes." I got to thinking about it, and why the heck would I let my toes get under the lawn mower anyway? I'm not that tall, hence I don't have long legs. When I push the mower my feet are kinda far back there. I think my toes will survive.
While I was mowing, I thought about how when I was little and we'd play with the cut grass. We'd play this game where we'd make bird nests on the tramp. We'd put eggs (rocks) in our nests and then say go and try to steal everyone else's eggs (rocks). Now that I think about it, it was kind of a pointless game. By the end the grass had flown everywhere so we couldn't even tell whose nest was whose anyway. I still want to play again. I want to jump on the tramp and watch the grass fly.
Seeing how we are now longer little (sad) we took the grass over to a family with horses because their horses love it. I decided that I want a horse. Really, really bad. :)

The End is Here
The apartment is empty. (At least it should be).
The girls of B10 are no more.
I haven't seen my roommate in over a week.
My room is a disaster.
Boxes are everywhere. Some full, some empty, some in between.
I feel at a loss.
It's weird, but I really miss Ephraim. Funny, huh? I'd get so bored there, but now what am I doing? I don't have a job, need one, but don't have one. I don't have roommates to hang out with. I get in bed and have no one to talk to. I miss randomly playing volleyball. I miss randomly playing phase ten. I miss seeing my door randomly swing open. I miss it.
But, all things must come to an end. And the end of this year as been one we've all counted down the days for. It was a successful year. It had its ups and downs. Boy, did it have ups and downs. I'm glad to be rid of the drama. Think that leaves when you leave high school? Nope. Drama really has more to do with people, not social situations. I've learned a lot this year. A lot about myself, about people, about dreams and hopes and fears. And I've learned a lot in the knowledge sense too. Isn't that what this college experience was for?
As much as I miss everyone, everything, I'm happy to be home. I missed my family so much while I was gone. And it feels good to know that my family is all within walking distance, all in the same house. Except Whitney. I don't think I'd walk to her house. haha!
College will come again next year. And I'm sure I'll get tired of it and miss home.
So, while you're here, welcome, Summer. Welcome. :)

Funny Conversations
So lately I've found a lot of my conversations super funny. I thought I would share. My humor is weird though, so sorry if you aren't having a laugh-so-hard-you-pee-your-pants fit as you read this. ;)
Me: Ali, I just love your sister. She is SO cute! Can I just take her home with me?
Ali: Do you want to so so bad?
Me: Yes, I really, really want to.
Ali: Okay, you'll just have to talk to my parents then.
Later
Ali: If you don't take Brooklyn, then what about Brighton?
Me: You'd late me take Brighton? I'd take him too.
Ali: Okay, you'll just have to talk to my parents then.
Me: I love these swing set!
Martha: (After an extremely long laughing fit while rolling on the ground) I love these swing set? Oh, Sorine that was a really silly thing to say!
Julia: Has the happy gas worn off yet?
Me: I feel pretty normal, am I acting weird?
Julia: Well, you aren't talking about unicorns so I think you're good.
Mitchell: What other article of faith should I say?
Julia: Five! (While giving him the secret, special hand hint)
Mitchell: We believe that a man must be...heard?
Martha: (After running the race at the Easter party) Okay, now you go get a prize.
Me: I don't need a prize, I already got one.
Martha: Yes you do! Even big kids can have one!
This reminds me of a time that me and Whitney decided that our jeans (yes jeans, not genes) don't mix well because we can't ever just be calm, we are always laughing at something, even if we don't know what the something is. We just have one of those relationships where being near each other makes us laugh. :)
Me and Whitney: Laughing uncontrollably
My aunt: What are you girls laughing at?
Quint: (he spoke, seeing how we couldn't stop laughing) I never know with these guys.
Whitney: (after finally calming down) It doesn't take much to get us to laugh.
Me and Whitney: Start laughing once again.
Julia: I just ate cooked frosting. Like, that was all it was.
Me: Was it yummy? Should we make a special cooked frosting desert?
Julia: A whole bowl of cooked frosting! YUMMY!
Me: Do you care which one you take? (Referring to the drinks we just got)
Whitney: Um, I want to take my car home.
This last one is more of a you-have-to-know-my-family type of thing. We'll kneel down for family prayer and stay that way for fifteen minutes before the prayer is actually said. And this is why:
Me: Mitchell! Your chin tickles! You can kneel on me, just don't put your chin there.
Whitney: Do I stink?
Mom: Spencer, it is your turn.
Spencer: No, it is Whitney's turn.
Whitney: I think I stink.
Mom: Whitney says it every time she is home. Mitchell said it last night, your turn.
Spencer: Mitchell didn't say it last night. Oh yeah, I wasn't here for last night.
Me: Because you refused to join us.
Julia: No, you don't stink, I stink.
Spencer: Mitchell said, "Spencer would you like to join us for family prayer?" And I said...
Mitchell: I invited you down nicely and you didn't come
Spencer: And I said "No." And Mitchell said "Are you mad?" and I said "yes." And then he left.
Mom: It's probably Mitchell you're smelling.
Julia: No, I know I stink. I've smelled myself all day.
Mitchell: Lets say the prayer! I'm tired!
Mom: But Mitchell's been farting. It is probably him that stinks.
Mitchell: It has been a long time since I've....slept.
Spencer finally says the prayer.
After the prayer
Julia: I thought you were going to say it has been a long time since you've farted, and I was like no, it hasn't been. I can attest to that.
Yep, that is my family for you. We put off saying prayers to figure out who the smell is coming from. I think it must have been my dad, why else would he have been silent that entire time? ;)
Me: Ali, I just love your sister. She is SO cute! Can I just take her home with me?
Ali: Do you want to so so bad?
Me: Yes, I really, really want to.
