So today at church, they did the service in candlelight, right? So Ryan, ((The leader)) Had a lighter torch, and he pointed it at me and the thing was supposed to be adjusted on all the way low but he accidentally put it on all the way high

So when he pressed the button, expecting a small flame, he got a flame about 2934809248029 inches long. ((More like, 8)) and my hair caught on fire.

So he was like all ASDJKFJSLDKFJAFKASDJF!!!!! and I was all KFJMDLKJFDAKMSDKFJKLFJDKLFMDLKFJSKFMNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it went out only like, 3 seconds later.

So naturally, Ryan FLIPPED OUT. I started crying...ONly from LAUGHING SO MUCH!!! it was SO funny and Ryan was SO SCARED he'd lose his job, or something....Haha. So he said he'd pay for my haircut. But I donj't think i'll need one. I'll just trim the ends and it'll be fineeee.

ily ryan.

It took out about a good inch in the lock right under my bangs. Now I'm going to have split endssssss.........Dangit. And I always took such good care of my hair...

But you can really tell when I pull it up in a ponytail. Sheeeyahhttt.

There's a picture. It's a side view, and it's my ponytail. The part sticking out is the part that was burnt. So you can see the comparison on what it was/is now.

Picture spreeee....

2006-10-06T22:15:00.000-07:00

Okay, I had a picture spree yesterday...

Boston...<33

2006-09-22T14:52:00.000-07:00

Current song of the week......

"Boston"

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... you said...

You don't know me, you don't even care,
She said
You don't know me, you don't wear my chains...

Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry
When they see you

You said...You don't know me, you don't even care,
She said
You don't know me, you don't wear my chains...

She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice...
Boston... where no one knows my name...

Tennis tourney/tournament

2006-09-01T20:22:00.000-07:00

Okay, so Last night I had a tournament {Tennis} [Which I couldn't get transferred out of :( ] And it was a doubles game vs. Willis and Kara and I were on a team, and we beat them, 8-6!!!

And so I got 2 tacos with NOTHING but meat on them, Lemonade, and a taco with meat, lettuce, and cheese o/n/l/y/ [For Scott :) ] and then Austin and I walked back to the highschool so I could play my tourney...And then Lynsey, Travis, Kady, and Rachel showed up to watch me play. [[Austin gets the 'best friend award' for sitting through the WHOLE tourney{about 4 hours}] And then we won...As I told you...Then we took Austin home...then I went home...And finished World Geography homework...

Yesterday in cheer, my stunt group landed a lib!!! [[If you don't know what a 'lib' is, google it. type in "cheerleading liberty"] and we learned how to doa "show-n-go" today.

Well, this is really long....Bye!

Jorge's party/New phone?

2006-08-07T11:38:00.000-07:00

Hey,

So the other night I went to Jorge's party...It was fun, there was dancing, Jason played his guitar, And Hannah and I stole a golf cart. Yep. It was grand. But me and Hannah were going to take Jason's golf cart, but he said not to because his is messed up and it like...lites on fire...Go figure. So he told us to take the green one, right?

So we did. ((BTW: All golf cart keys fit each other...I never knew that!)) And we went up our street and the one across the street. But on the one across our street- There's this HUGE hill, right? And this cart was like, about to freakkin D.I.E. So we had to like, lean back and forth on the cart, haha. And we made it down the hill. But the BAD part was coming back UP the hill...So we did the same thing...It must have been quite akward for the neighbors to hear two girls out on a golf cart in the middle of the night yelling things l ike "EEEEEEEYYYYYYYUUUUGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Haha...

When I got home, mom and I were talking about a new cell phone...FOR ME! And here are the two options...

The pink phone...It's really thin, like a Razor phone. The only thing I don;'t like about it, is the buttons. I don't like them.

Choice 2...

The black one. But I couldn't find a picture of it with the whole thing... But what do y'all think I should choose???

Concert

2006-07-30T13:28:00.000-07:00

Heyy...

So, last night was the Kelly Clarkson concert...It was so much fun! Katie and Chesney took me for an early birthday present ((My birthday's in September, though, haha))

But, omigosh, her opening act was a band called "Rooney" and Omigosh, I've pretty much fallen in love with them. Yep. Their website is: www.rooney-band.com and/or www.myspace.com/rooney Myspace....Hmm....Who doesn't have one?

Anyway, yeah, the concert was pretty amazing. Her entrance was so cool....It was like, the whole stadium was like, pitch black, right? And what happened was all of the sudden, you see this blue spotlight and in the middle of the light, there's a violinist...And he's playing...And then, all of the sudden, another spotlight, a purple spotlight next to the blue light turns on, and this one is framed around Kelly Clarkson. But yeah...It was trés magnifique.

But this morning we went to church and the service was really good. They had a Pastor from Costa Rica come in, and it was really good. And in Sunday School, they showed a video and It was really about like, how we take things for granted.

Like, a breath, even. I mean, there's places in the world where all they breathe in is poisonous gas. I mean, how horrible is that? They can't get clean, running water, or anything. It just really makes you step back and think about all the wonderful things God has givene us.

Our love, OUR LOVE! Is the best love, THE BEST LOVE! Well your mother likes my style, and you father, he likes my lifestyle, should I aske them what I asked you, to get the answer,To get the answerrrrrrrrr...Cos our love, OUR LOVE! Is the best love, THE BEST LOVE! If it were up to me, Yes our love, OUR LOVE! Is tru love, so just let it beeeee.....It's easy, EAS! it's easy, EASY! It's easy, EASY!!!

That would be Rooney. That song's called "If it were up to me"

Erika + Rooney = Love.

Totally.

Language Class

2006-05-15T10:14:00.000-07:00

Hey, I'm in Language Arts right now. We're in the computer lab doing a project on the Holocaust era. Mine's on the children during the Holocaust. I like, finished it in like, the first 15-30 minutes we were in here. Ughhh....I still have like, 45 minutes in here. I think I might dieeeeeeeee. Ugh....I need to sneeze really badly. *achoo* Ok. I did. Whew...Lol.Ughhhhh.... Hey, go to www.shatteredlives-montgomerycounty.com and look at the Conroe High School one! It's crazy sad. Shattered Lives is a program that all of the high schools in the Montgomery County area did to show the effects of drunk driving. Because of Prom coming up and graduation and everything? Because some people go out and get drunk on Prom night and after they graduate. And it shows what could happen. Haha, Chaz just sneezed...I thought it was kinda funny. Lol. Well, here is my paper, read it and tell me if it's worth an "A" or not! Lol!
Children during the Holocaust. During the holocaust era, many different racial groups were attacked by the German Nazis. But what most people don't know is that children, mainly Jewish, were one of the main sources of attack. Children were especially vulnerable victims of the Nazis. It is estimated that over one million children were murdered under Nazi rule in Germany and occupied Europe. In the ghettos, many died from lack of food, clothing, and shelter. The Nazis considered many ghetto children unproductive to the German cause. They were generally not used for forced work, which increased their chances for early replacement to concentration camps and extermination camps. Jewish children were among the first victims when the Germans and their partners sought to destroy a Jewish community by shooting the inhabitants of the ghettos or deporting them to an extermination camp. Following selection at Auschwitz and other camps, the majority of children were sent straight to the gas chambers. A number of children in the camps, especially twins, were used in Nazi medical experiments. Children also were shot by SS and police forces in Poland and the Soviet Union. Jewish council chairmen were forced to make the painful decision whether to fill expected amounts of children for deportation. One director of an orphanage in the Warsaw ghetto, refused to abandon the children chosen for deportation. So he accompanied them on the transport to Treblinka, another concentration camp. In spite of overwhelming torture by the hands of the Nazis, many children discovered ways to survive. Many children were involved in smuggling food into the ghettos. A number of children in youth movements were active in resistance; many participated in escapes to partisan family camps. Some non-Jews provided hiding places for Jewish children and sometimes, as in the case of Anne Frank, for other family members as well. Children's Transport was the informal name of a rescue effort which brought thousands of refugee Jewish children to Great Britain from Nazi Germany and German-occupied territories between 1938 and 1940. In France, almost the entire Nazi Protestant population hid Jewish children. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, refugees searched throughout Europe for missing children. Thousands of orphaned children were in displaced persons camps. Many fled to eastern Europe as part of the mass group that fled to the Allied zones of occupation.. Through Youth Immigration, thousands migrated to the Yishuv (A Jewish settlement in Palestine), and then to the state of Israel after it was established in 1948.

Yeap. That's it.
