My perfect dinner date…its hard to think about considering I’m not really a dating kind of girl. I mean I like boys and everything don’t get me wrong but I just don’t go on a lot of dates. But anywho.. My perfect date.
First, he would ask me out on a date for Saturday night (because of course, its date night!) Then on Saturday afternoon a dozen roses would be brought to my door, just so I knew he was thinking about me. Then he wold pick me up at a little after eight, because he can’t be right on time. Then he would be a gentleman and open the doors for me, tell me I look beautiful, and do all the things guys used to do in the oldin days. :-). He would take me to a candlelight dinner at a place that held meaning to him. It wouldn’t have to be the most expensive place in the world or even at a restaurant , just as long as he wanted to be there with me. We would talk about everything because at a perfect dinner date I would have the most perfect man! Then after the dinner he would take me on a walk and we would hold hands underneath the moonlight and look at the stars. Lastly, he would take me back to my house and walk me to my door and give me a kiss on the cheek and say, “Goodnight, not goodbye.” And then we live happily ever after.
But who am I kidding that will never happen to me. Because I have the worst luck ever and I have given up on boys. So poop on dates I am just going to stick with staying home and watching One Tree Hill. Nathan is all I need.

Some people say they are content just the way they are. Not me. I mean I am confident in myself and love me life and everything about it, but there is one thing that I wish I had, an incredible singing voice. I wish so bad that I could sing maybe just one note like Carrie Underwood. Have people’s jaws drop as you open your mouth pouring out a sweet sound that gets stronger with every breath. When you get onstage everyone waits to hear your first note, surprised even though it’s what they expected. Unfortunately for me that’s not how it happens. It’s more like when I open my mouth for a note everyone heads for the hills so they don’t have to hear what sounds like a thousand planes crashing into the unknown. The first time I knew was at my church talent show. I saw everyone’s face in the crowds as I belted what I thought was a monumental high note. I thought they were just making those faces because they had a really bad stomach ache. Oh well. Lucky for me I have parents who think I am the most wonderful singer in the world. At least that’s what they tell me to my face. I have learned to deal with the fact that I can’t sing. Now when people ask me to sing for them I wail at the top of my lungs and laugh at myself. Little do they know that’s actually my real voice. It’s just something that I am going to have to live with for the rest of my life. I dedicate my time to athletic now-a-days and that seems to be working out pretty well for me. It’s probably because it has nothing to do with my vocal stylings. 

oh my gosh. thats all i have to say.
so, my story begins on a cold, autum, Monday morning. I cam to school and thought that it would be just another tipical day. Then alex happened. She came up to me and ask if i wanted to go to a concert with her on wensday and i was like ok…..what concert? so she said. “JASON ALDEAN AND LADY ANTEBELLUM!!” and I was like no freakin way! of course I will come with you I would be crazy not too!!
Then a couple days past and it was finally here. The day I had been waiting for!! I couldnt hardly sit through my classes. I was so antsy just to be with my friends and listen to the loves of my life!
The bell rang. It was 2:45. The time had come.
Alex, Meagan, and I went to eat at Ceilito Lindo at 6 o clock then proceeded to eat until 7, and after that, we were on our way. We arrived at the Shrine and walked through those beautiful doors. We were inside. There was about a 15 min. wait until the opening act came on. That act lasted about 30 min and then Lady AnteBellum came on. The beautiful sound of their voices swept across the room. Their chemistry was wonderful onstage. I wanted to cry. It all happened to fast! It was like they teased me with their voices and then ripped it out from under me! I was crushed. But then the main act came on. Jason Aldean came out with his swagger and strut and made all the girls woo. He sang his most popular songs and was of course wonderful. And then came the tear jerker. He had just got done playing a Johnny Cash song and began to put down his guitar. Jason made his way to the center of the stage and began to speak. He said, ” This is to all of you high school and college graduates (which is me by the way), these are the best times of your life, I want you to go to a beach somewhere and get drunk and drink a beer for me (which we wont ) and I want you to all have a blast because these are the best years of your life and make sure you laugh til you cry.” Then he proceeded to sing the song Laughed Until We Cried, my heart sunk. I was sad of course because I knew that song was meant for us. But then I realized something. I was in love. I was in love with that sexy man on stage singing to me at the top of his lungs and I could of sworn I heard him say, “Marry me Sarah Lanier Skinner, Marry me!!!!” And I wanted to scream, “Yes I will Jason, I will!!!” But i figured that people all around me would think I was cray. Of course how would they know, they were all crazy drunk. They were 21 of course :-). So the direction this story is going is that if you Jason Aldean, ever see this page I was wondering one thing and it would make me the happiest grl in the world, Jason Aldean will you marry me!!!! I’ll be waiting……

Homecoming is just around the corner. And the sad part about it is the last one the seniors will ever go too. High school has gone by so fast and it hit me that this is the last year that its going to be like this. Its the poops. But I guess everything has to change sometime. Im sorry I’m just in a really depressed mood because i don’t want to go to college. i want to stay right here and be in high school forever. And that is my first blog of the year cause if i write anymore i am going to cry and i don’t want my make-up to run….

From now until seniors graduate is about three weeks. Its sad. But yet happy. It sucks because I have built relationships with them all year and then with a pass of the diploma, they’re gone. But then again, in three weeks, we are gonna be seniors!! I’m not gonna lie I’m pretty dang excited about that! We will be the rulers of this school! Yes! The time has come!
On the other hand this is the point where I start to realize that we are growing up. I don’t want too!! We have to start planning for college, get a job, start being responsible, and I say no!! I am holding a strike! I don’t know how I’m going to do it yet but I’m going to, and no one is going to have to grow up and everyone will stay young forever and lick lollipops and sing songs of bubble gum and rain drops! But until then I am going to sulk about having to make all these future plans.
So thats my blog for this week. I am getting really bad at writing these. I don’t want to and I am being forced against my will!!! So you will read my blog and you will love it!

This Spring Break was not like the rest. I wasn’t bored, I didn’t sleep till 12 o clock, and I definitely didn’t wish to go back to school. Do you know why? Because I was in Hawaii! Oh the glorious Island of Awesomeness!!
When we first arrived I knew that it was love at first site. It was dark when we got there, but I could see the ocean and trees blowing in the wind. That’s all I needed to convince me that it was paradise.
We arrived at the school we were staying at about ten. They were all eager to party but we just wanted to get to bed after our 10 hour plane ride. So we stayed up for a little bit and then hit the sheets. After surviving nearly freezing to death under the beautiful Hawaii stars, we woke up( for those of us that could sleep ) and ate breakfast. After that we looked around and did the activities that they had planned for us. That first day was the most fun I had ever had. Some of us went surfing, boat surfing, went to see dolphins, went crab hunting, and basically anything else possible that there is to do in Hawaii! Then after a fun filled day we headed back to the school to clean up and eat dinner. They prepared a Luau for us and had dancers and fire throwers come perform for us! It was amazing.
After we left the school we went to Waikiki for the rest of the week. That was fun too but I don’t think anything could top those first few days at Wianai. But nevertheless it was a blast and probably the best vacation I have ever taken! People got lei’d and memories were made!!! ( and I mean flower lei’d…..)

I am so sick and tired of this weather. It is so disgusting and gross and i just really hate it. That is why I am excited to say that I wont have to be dealing with this weather for very much longer. In about exactly two weeks I am going to be on a plane going to Hawaii!!!! YAHOO!!!!
I will be going with HTV of course and It’s going to be a blast! We leave on Saturday the 15 and get back on Easter Sunday….. which sorta sucks but what can ya do?
I have never been to Hawaii before and I heard that it’s beautiful. Another reason I’m pretty dang excited is because I get to wok on my precious tan and I get to be with the sun again that I have been deprived of for so long! Oh the wonders that it will do with my skin! (not in 20 years) but whose counting? I can barely wait to go! I think I’m going to start packing this week because I am so ecstatic. GEE WIZ. Well I guess I’ll talk to you again after I get back and I am so tan and you will be so jealous because I will be so tan! HA!

Its the holiday season, and also my favorite time of the year. Everything is so beautiful, its most lovely when it snows. I just don’t think that you can not be happy during this time of year. Except when you get up at 4 o clock in the morning to go shopping…. holy heck. I made the mistake of telling a few of my friends that I thought it would be fun to get up with the millions of other people that get up to rummage through all the stores. Boy was that a huge mistake, but, I ignored all the signs telling me not to go. For instance, while I was out with a friend the night before, we were just out seeing a movie and decided to take nice drive on Thanksgiving. But then we got to a best buy and there were people lined up around the perimeter of the store waiting to get in and it was only 11 o clock at night!!! Those crazy hooligans were going to wait outside for 6 hours! I just couldn’t believe it! And then just as we were going to let them be in all of their cold misery, some stupid teenagers drove by the lines smacking people in the heads with cups of water!!! I wanted to say, “Hey you crazy faces! Stop throwing those!”, but they were too speedy and drove off. So not only were the people waiting in an endless line, but they were soaked in water in 25 degree weather. How horrible. May those teens get smacked in the heads with cups of water so they can know what it feels like. Well anyways back to my shopping story, basically, I went to the mall, I hardly found any sales what-so-ever and lots of people were mean. Probably because they didn’t have their coffee. So I got back to my house around 8 and felt like I didn’t accomplish anything. I went to bed and dreamt of what it would of been like to sleep in past 4 that day…what a day….what a Black Friday.

Fall is here. The perfect season. Its just the right tempature outside and everything looks beautiful! But the one huge thing that sets fall apart from all the other seasons………..is Thanksgiving. Oh my goodness. I love Thanksgiving, and I know that I should probably love it because of what the pilgrems and indians did, but I mainly think it’s about the food. Cause all I think about is eating and I don’t know why, I mean I don’t want to eat but I can’t help myself everytime I see food I just eat it all. Sometimes I make myself sick thinking about eating all the time.(Derek Jenkins wrote that, about eating) But anyways…..My thankgiving feast. It consists of a four or five course meal. First I start out with the eggnog and the little finger foods. Like the deviled eggs (a fav). and then I munch on some other goodies. Second are the foods that are a little bit heavier but still dont quite amount to the main course. Like the mashed potatos, oh my, i swear those clouds of puffy white lushousness rain down from heaven. Then comes the turkey…..God bless the turkey. Oh that glorious bird that gives its life…..wait….that lets us take its life so that we can make our bellies full wih its goody goodness. The 3rd course is the pumpkin pie, apple pie, green bean casserole, and the gramdma cookies to die for. thats my thanksgiving for ya. yep

Normally when people talk about their embarrassing moments…….they almost start crying and their palms get sweaty just remembering that time they did something stupid….but thats not the case wih me……actually i didnt remember one of my most embarrassing moments, and that might of been because i was only about 12 hours old. I was at St. Johns hospital and looking quite nice for just getting out of my mothers womb. So just to make sure that i was all healthy and clean they took me away for my big presentation through the big glass window. I was laid in my warm incibator and everything was fine and dandy. All my friends and family were admiring how cute i was and how perfect i was…i mean who could blame them. (just kidding)(not really). And then with thier heads plastered against the window……i let it all go…and i mean…all of it…With one swift lift of the buttcheek, i exploded all over my nice little home…not so nice anymore….And my borther and sister have never let me live it down…unitil next time.
