gosh it feels good to win. FINALLY.

so i got home from the beach on saturday. it was so fun! i am officially the sandcastle QUEEN! the one i built was beast. and a caught a fishy. it was so cute! i named it herbert and let it go. and i got a fabulous tan and lots of sleep.

today was my first day of school..and like every first day...it was stressful and nerve racking. but whatever. tomorrow is another day.  

special note for tenille: ::trumpets:: they dont want music....

LOL

COMMENT!

yeah so summer is gradually coming to an end.

i was excited but now im sad.

its sad to me because the things that happened wont be "last month" they will be "this summer" urg. i hade the greatest time. and people that you want to stay intact with start to merge back into their old lives. its all so depressing! but then again meeting new people and seeing old friend will be fun.

i wont be here the first week of school and so i went to all my teachers and i already have AT LEAST 3 hours of homework. gag me.speaking of that i am going to start on it.

oh dang.

driving is so fun.

i drove all the way to the Y...and i didnt die.

its an acheivment really.

volleyball is fun. coach is a little intense..but its all for the better.

i did so many pushups today i couldnt pick up my bag. lol. pretty pathetic. so i hope to see everyone at the FOOTBALL GAME on friday!!!! be there or be a loser:)

geez.

being 16 is kindof..the same as being 15, accept you arent 15.

that doesnt make sense. but oh well.

well this summer has been pretty much AWSOME! efy was the best week ever. i met some really awsome people. and byu volleyball was also a very good experience. it was hard work bu it was alot of fun. but let me say...utah...is a very different place. im glad to come back to virginia..which says alot. after i got back i had volleyball tryouts. those were ok but i was definatly glad that they were over. i made varsity so it was worth it. and basically all i havebeen doing these past two weeks have been volleyball.

so yeah yesterday was my birthday. it was pretty good. i had volleyball all day. i was ready to kill someone by the end. i was so frusrated.

so i went home and we waited for my dad to come home so i could open my presents, and his car pulls up and then we put all the presents on the table. then my sister starts booking it to the door to greet my dad.

well dad pulled into the garage and right as my sister was running full speed in front of the garage door, he opens it. she ran smack into it and it flung her backwards onto her back.

it was such perfect timing that it was creepy...and kindof  funny. she cried but then after she got over the initial shock of it she just laughed.  although, she has a really big goose egg.

yeah well i opened presents. i got clothes that i went shopping for and icked out. i guess they were wrapped so i could open them for my siblings entertainment, and i got a paul mccartney in concert dvd...yeah..its awsome. it has all of this beatles in history stuff. i love it. and a queen cd. love it. you cant go wrong with old school.

and then i went to mutual and had a party.ate pizza and cookies. yum.

till later:)

gosh. why do girls have to suck so bad. i mean i move and i want a fresh start but then there is always someone who has to dampen my spirits. i try to be a nice person. i slip up once and a while. i make stupid mistakes. im human. so why, when i make a dumb mistake, do i have to get so much animosity? i tried to be nice. i tried to care about you. but when i realized that you didnt want to be my friend or care an ounce about me or my feelings,  i didnt even want to bother. why should i be kind to you when you would react with a fake smile or not even react at all. it hurts my feelings. when i talk to you or say hi, i mean it. i dont dislike you at all, just how you treat me. i am tired of being stepped on. it happens everywhere i go, and its not happening here. if you want to be treated with respect and kindness from me, then you treat me with the same respect. dont expect me to fall at your feet and ask for your forgivness and freindship. it takes two. you arent the only person in the world and you are not the only person who is getting talked about. think about that.

what win i  if i gain the thing i seek? a dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy.who buys a minutes mirth to wail aweek? or sells eternity to get a toy? for one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, would with the sceptar straight be stricken down?

shakespeare

a midsummer nights dream.

efy wuote..figure it out

especially for youth rocks everyones socks off times ten.

i heart mormon boys....

alot.

and tenille too:) i missed you:)

ok so the harry potter madness this morning...

hmm.

so i remember at 11:30 and my dad takes me to borders and i swear..like 200 people were there just sitting in the rows and stuff.

yeah so we get in line to get the ticket that will get us in line to buy the book, and we are number 697. BAM. so my pops and i have to wait till 1:30 AM to get the book.

im wandering around being amused by the silly people dressed up like dobey and hermione and random magical people. then there were these people that got all decked out in their best. like this was some social gathering to meet boys or something. and here i am in my sheep and stars PJs and a sweatshirt. i felt just dandy.

then tenille and taryn showed up to see if they could snatch a book from somebody that didnt want theirs..yeah..you guys are pathetic..;) i must say, borders hot chocolate is probably THE BEST. i enjoyed every sip.

and some guys were playing the harry potter version of marco polo. so during this whole fiasco you could hear "HARRY!!"...::silence::..."POTTER!!" you people need to lay off the crack.

so after sleeping for 6 hours, i went to stafford volleyball's car wash. that was pretty fun i guess. i was on the corner with signs and a mail truck passed by and i was all "MAIL TRUCK WASH!!!!" and he pulled up to simms..he just passed by tho. it was pretty funny. that didnt happen when i yelled motorcycle wash tho.  GO STAFFORD VOLLEYBALL!

2 more days till EFY aka mormon girl paradise:-D

comment!!!

at the mercy of the slave driver from hades.

there is no hope for a life this summer.

one more week till EFY

and freedom.

please call.

im dying.

girls camp this week ROCKED. rain storms...bug bites...no showers...sleeping on picnic tables. goooood stuff. cant beat it. after i got back i took the longest shower of my life and took a nap. yum. we went to colonial beach to watch some fireworkks. i love it out there it is so pretty. its not really a beach beach..its a river. but it still smells like it and has a board walk. the fireworks were so pretty. i love fireworks so much. they are almost magical, but not really. i dunno. and yesterday was the last time i would talk to my friend tony till he leaves on his mission to brazil! so awsome im so proud of him. hence the "tonys leaving".

so this morning my family rode out bikes on the mount vernon trail for 16 miles. it was really fun. i went ahead of everybody and had fun thinking to myself. i like talk my thoughts and think them over. i think im crazy. well my new seat cover was so new that it turned my butt black. pretty funny. and i met a group of bikers while i was on my lonesome. they talked to me and stuff. i couldnt help laughing inside because of their spandex. it is so silly with the little sticky-outy pad on the butt. bwahahahahaha. so yeah then we went to the pool and chilled. i love pools. they are so very fun.

happy fourth of july everybody!!

TONYS LEAVING!!

:)

sooooooo....tenille is leave for europe tomorrow. for 16 days. i hate you tenille. leaving me to rot in land-o-boring. well all i gotta say is i better get some dang good postcards.

so yeah, nothing much has happened since i last updated. i went to Kenmores concert with kana allie and mika and we were confronted my many a stranger. yeah but the bands were good...some of them.

 i went to gettesburg with my grandma and family. it was so awsome. i loved it.. this guy took us on a tour through the whole battlefield according to the events in the battle. it was so cool. i didnt know a person could know so many facts about one thing. he was crazy smart..like he had statistics on how much waste the filthy men and horses produced..and we had to guess how bad it smelled. ick. 

but that whole thing made me really think. especially about how people here like to wear the rebel flag. i learned what  it represented. and i learned what it was fighting agenst. here is a quote that a read on a memorial at the battlefeild. it was given by a Union (northern) Colonel.  he was trying to encourage his troops so they would fight their hardest in the battle. i think it is something everyone should remember and not take for granted what these men and boys died for.

 Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain: ...We are an army out to set other men free. America should be free ground, from here to the Pacific Ocean. No man has to bow, no man born to royalty. Here we judge you by what you do, not by who your father was. Here you can be something. Here you can build a home. But it's not the land. There's always more land. It's the idea that we all have value, you and me. What we're fighting for, in the end, is each other.

i love that. anyways. im picking berries in the morning...WOO.

comment if anyone wants too:)

i dont know what to do with myself.

i think i might die.

the teeth hurt plus the sores on top of that.

stupid braces. 

well i went downtown today with tenille and company. we walked around ate lunch..walked around had a lollypop. walked around had italian ice. walked around went on a carrage ride and waved at people. MAN THAT WAS FUN! "HI..rude..HI...rude...HI...LOOK HE SAID HI BACK!!" walked around went to a coffee shop and had lomonade and honey straws. that was fun. the coffee shop guy thought we were crazy. like i went up to buy a honey straw after tenille and michelle had bought like 20 of them, and was all AHH MORE MORE MORE! "yes sir, my friends are insane." so yeah then i went home and then went to mutual. went to dairy queen and had a blizzard. yummers. too much sugar. i might pass out. but whatever.  yeah well....no more school. its kindof crazy how fast it went by? i mean it was only yesterday when i found delight in calling other people freshman. being a junior seems so far away yet it is so close.

did it go by fast for anyone else?

so my grandma is here. YIPEE!

my dad and brothers went camping so us girls decided to have a girls night out. yeah so we went to cheeseburger in paradise..yummy scrumbos..and while we were driving in my dads mustang to the movie theater, the air conditioning shuts off and kinda starts smoking, we're like, ok probably something with the air conditioner

.::turns off air conditioner::

so we pull up to the  movie theater and park in the back of the big parkinglot. we get out of the car and there was smoke coming out from under the hood. we are all.."oh crap. dads going to kill us."

so my grandma, being the totally awsome grandma that she is, rises above the panic and figures out how to open it. and to our complete horror there was a fire under the hood. 

mom- OH MY GOSH!!.

Karly- ::bursts into tears::

Grandma- crap..

Me- CALL 911!!!.

pandemonium.

so my grandma starts blowing the fire out. that was kindof funny to watch. my sister was laying on the grass on her belly crying, and i am trying to figure out how to dial 911. well my grandma blows out the fire and sends me in for a bucket of water. i run to the movie theater..almost kiling a couple of people, and go up to the snack counter. i pass up all these people in line and am all..

"my car is on fire i need a glass of water".

the greasy casheir guy goes.."whoa, that sucks"

i didnt even feel the need to answer. this manager lady brings me a paper cup of water. i held it in my hand and stared at it then said. "my car is ..O-N F-I-R-E.. can i have a big cup or something? ill give it back.

she goes" uh..its not standard procedure".

.i look at her and go" MY CAR IS ON FIRE! I NEED WATER!!" she is all "ok i can get you a bucket" so we get a bucket and run out to the car and dump it all over it. and we still had time to see the movie. and we met a really nice tow truck guy.

so ends another adventure of the hansen family. oh when will it ever end...

hermmmmmmm...boys... great movie

"you just got patty slapped"

kasey = in love with skaters

friday.....

friday my mom woke me up at 6:40 and says "youve got 5 minutes im not taking you to school" i was on the verge of tears..(emotional because of the sudden awakening) i hear the bus go by and my mom is all cheery "ok i'll take you to school" . whatever. so i get to school and i can't find my slave...or rather me micahs and kates slave,joey sisson. but i have him in my second period. so in second period he has this shirt on that says "its raining men, AMEN" and he said that micah told him that whenever somone told him to sing that song he had to sing it. i thought that was LAME. so i comanded him to sing it whenever someone said hi to him. AND i had melissa allshouse teach him a dance to it too..complete with butt shaking and body caressing. he had a sign on his butt that said "say hi to joey" (which was pretty effective) and i found this cat outfit too that i made him wear. it was like a cat ear helmet thing and paws. but i thought my plan was pretty good considering the circumstances. we walked out of second period and everyone was all "HI JOEY HI JOEY" he did it like 20 times i swear. it was hilarious. lots of people wouldnt be humiliated by that sort of thing but that was a blow to his rather large ego. made my day. and he carried my purse and took me to class. yay! marie had david howard on a leash. that is a sight i will never forget. so excited o torture tenille..bwahahahhahahahahaha. slept over at graces with kana last night.talked endlessly about various things. wooo. saturday..woke up.ate cereal. grace ate ice cream. yucky.went home and ADOPTED A KITTY! YAY! we bring it home on monday. it is my baby.  cleaned my room and coversed with tenille for a while.good times this weekend. and there is still one more day. oh the possibilities..........................

i decided i was bored enough to update.

well i went home early on friday cause i was sick. i went home and watched a movie with garrett cause he was sick too. and i fell aleep for like 5 hours. it was pretty nice. then i went to his camp meeting and that was pretty cool too. my dad came home from canada too. exciting exciting. uhhhhhhh....my friend got accpeted into BYU. yay for him:) and i went garage saling and found some flippin awsome antiques. im so good at haggling its almost scary. i did my moms hair and its all cool and straight. i had to restrain her from curling her bangs into and 80's poof which would totally ruin the rest of her hair. and then we went to old navy and had a try on frenzy of stuff that was a bajillion dollars..which i dont have..but it was still fun. and yeah. we are babysitting the austen baby..daniel. and he loves my old barbies. and he tore the head off of one. i was very upset. so i put the head back on and now ballerina barbie has no neck. ::sigh:: oh and on wednesday i went to volleyball conditioning and the next day i couldnt move my shoulders and back. it hurt real bad. but now im gettng all toned and muscley. woot. im totally ready for summer. efy,girlscamp, co'ed volleyball camp at BYU (SQEEE) and totally awsome time with mi amigas. well i gotta go..family movie. COMMENT!

so today i went to church..gave  talk...lived to tell the tale..and then watched star wars 4(CH-YES) and national treasure with my fam and then i fell asleep. didnt wake up till now. so. i think i might go back to sleep. because i can feel a long week ahead.  i have been listening to this song all weekend. i lurve it..

Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight,...
Too bad but it's the life you lead
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. you're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize,..Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don't you realize,. Vienna waits for you
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
-billy joel-vienna

and this one too..its a good bedtime song:)

Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be
billy joel- lullabye (goodnight my angel)
