Self-Respect, Racism, Random.

Ok. One day I am going to do this:)



For a dance possibly??

Who's in?

Yessssss:):):):):):):):)

"A 50- something year old white woman arrived at her seat on a crowded flight and immediately didn't want the seat. The seat was next to a black man. Disgusted, the woman immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a new seat. The woman said "I cannot sit here next to this black man." The fight attendant said "Let me see if I can find another seat." After checking, the flight attendant returned and stated "Ma'am, there are no more seats in economy, but I will check with the captain and see if there is something in first class." About 10 minutes went by and the flight attendant returned and stated "The captain has confirmed that there are no more seats in economy, but there is one in first class. It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to first class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a person to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person, the captain agreed to make the switch to first class." Before the woman could say anything, the attendant gestured to the black man and said, "Therefore sir, if you would so kindly retrieve your personal items, we would like to move you to the comfort of first class as the captain doesn't want you to sit next to an unpleasant person." Passengers in the seats nearby began to applause while some gave a standing ovation."

Pretty great huh?

Ya, I find random things on Facebook sometimes:)

Oh yes.

To ALL girls out there:

STOP worrying about your body.

And Stop reading stupid "glamour" magezines.

I was sitting on the bus one day and I saw an over weight woman,

She was reading the cosmopolition magezine.

Guess what was on the front?

Yep. This is the EXACT cover.

Do you know what I thought?

"Why on earth would you spend your time reading about/looking at things that make you feel bad?"

Granted I don't know her situation,

But c'mon.

Who really feels good about reading those things?????

No one last time I checked.

C'mon.

Please don't.

We are ALL daughter of a King.

Do you really think He would want us to be doing this to ourselves?

No.

We all struggle with it.

I do A TON!!!!

Trust me.

But we need to look past what the world wants us to see.

Thanks:)

Loves ya!!!!

Oh yes.

Certain BOYS just need to move on and get it over with.

Many who know a CERTIAN girls drama would know.

He just needs to get it over with.

No more time for waiting.

Just rip the band-aid off. No need to keep it on.

{{ew. kinda a gross analogy}}

But seriously!! We talked about it Thursday.

And guess what.

You STILL haven't done it.

Bah Humbug!!!!

Oh yes,

 and another side note for boys,

PLEASE don't lead girls on.

We take things more seriously than you realize,

so when you give us false hope,

We DON'T appreciate it!!

Thanks.

Get Worse for the Better.

Well,

Shelby is in the Hospital.

She has been in there since Friday Morning....

She almost died..... :S

A normal woman's blood level should be at 30,

well hers was down to a 9.26

They were surprised she was still able to walk.

They were also shocked that she was still alive!

She went through 5 bags of blood (O Positive)

and She has been in the ICU ever since.

She is doing SO much better though!!

I just miss her, and so does my dog Sadie,

She just roams around the house and is lonely because we have all been gone this weekend.

Oh yes,

I LOVE my madre!!

She has been staying with Shelby from 8 AM to 10:30 PM EVERY night since Friday.

She is missed around the house,

But she is so loving!!!

I love her to death:):)

 

Oh yes,

One more thing.

My Grandparents left on their mission today:)

They are going to Serve in Amsterdam!!

I think I've already told you this, but I love them!!!

 

Can I also say, I know that Shelby is supposed to live.

If she was to die, she would've,

But she is one of the most spiritual people I know.

She just started to work on her mission papers this past week

And I know that the Lord is looking out for her.

Imagine what would've happened if this happened on her Mission?

I am SO grateful to know that We have a Loving Father in Heaven who watches over us,

He protects us,

Loves us,

And is always there when we need him:)

 

Pearl Harbor

I feel bad that I didn't post on Wednesday...

December 7, 1941

Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan without warning.

It only lasted 110 minutes.

7:55-9:45

2,335 US Military Servicemen were killed.

1,143 wounded.

2,335 Men and Women would not return to their families.

Their families would never get to see the ones they loved.

2,335 White Crosses would be added to the solider cemetery.

Adding to the death total of WW2.

Then again,

Families would have a great lesson to tell their future families.

When people ask "Where is your father?" or "Where is your Mother?"

They can reply,

"My Father [or mother] died while serving my country. They were not afraid to die,

They were willing to die to save the US and protect me and those I love. Including you."

They could proudly say that.

Never being ashamed to say their parents died serving the country.

They truely will be blest.

And if they put their trust in the Lord, They will be protected and not afraind.

"And it came to pass that we did contend with an army of thirty thousand against an army of fifty thousand. And it came to pass that we did stand before them with such firmness that they did flee from before us."

 Anything is possible with the Lord.

Thank You Military!

Thank you for protecting me and my family,

Thanks for protecting and serving my country,

and Thank you for being amazing!



messages

Oh ya,

one more:)

Me and Sabrina talked to a certain person,

It went rather well.

Yes, I'm stealing Janelle's idea of calling them

THEM.

[just cause we are talking about the same person]

Well them was listening when we were explaining why we weren't gonna text them anymore.

Them didn't really seem to be listening.

Them was kinda off in their own world.

But towards the end,

them seemed to finally understand the seriousness about what we were saying.

Hopefully them will understand.

And maybe them won't bug a lot of us anymore.

Too much emotion.

Good luck to them:)

And we only did this out of Love for them.

relationships.

Yes, sadly all the things I am thinking about at the moment.

I love my friends and all,

but sometimes you just want to

hurt them....

It is very painful to even think that.

I really do care about my friends,

and every day I think what my life would be like if they weren't there,

and every day I think what it would be like if I still went to AF,

but it usually always comes up to things I HATE thinking about.

I have recently gotten rid of a huge burden in my life.

This burden has actually been a person.

I hate to sound rude,

but ever since I stopped talking to this person,

I feel so much happier and less sad.

They were constantly bringing me down

and I would cry over them quite a lot

because I didn't know what to do for them.

This person has also led me to write this:

***I Sydney Marie Ward, on this beautiful Thursday morning of November 3, do make a promise to myself that I WILL NOT get a boyfriend until I graduate high school in the year of 2014. By making this decision, I will still date my peers and enjoy my high school years with lots of friendships instead of RELATIONSHIPS.***

Edmond Tanner Durfee has been my *motivation* and *inspiration* for me to make this decision. If he can do it, I can do it. Due to a conversation we had back in August-September.

Even if he caves and gets into a relationship, I will still stand strong in my decision.

I have been making this decision in my mind for a while now,

but this just makes it real.

So if I ever have the chance to while I am in high school,

I will have already made my mind up.

I am not saying anything bad to those who do have boyfriends or girlfriends,

I am just simply making this decison for myself.

Thank you:)

Family Show

Success!!

Tonight just made me one happy girl.

Seeing all my AF buddies,

getting super sweaty hugs from them,

watching the most amazing AFMB show...EVER,

But me and Gabbie didn't get any of our studying done.

We sorta fail,

but we won't fail our PoliSci test tomorrow...

Hopefully:)

Basically,

TONIGHT WAS THE BEST!

the adventures of gingerboy

Oh yes, I am just writing a short little story for a friend:)

*ps, everything is in code names, but this is a "trueish" story*

Seth woke up and looked in the mirror only to see his hair flipping every direction. He wasn't going to let this bother him. He smiled as he thought about the activities of the day: eating breakfast, babysitting his siblings and oh ya, going to Bailey's birthday party. Bailey was a gorgeous girl who Seth had had a crush on for ages and recently they had shared secrets:)

They weren't a couple, just really good friends. They would always talk and hug each other, nothing more, nothing less. Seth was going to do something outrageous at her party though, he was going to attempt to hold her hand--he was so scared he almost peed his pants just thinking about it. He had been very tempted to try before but he figured it would be a very good birthday present to give her.

Once six thirty rolled around he combed through his hair one last time and brushed his teeth before he headed off into the strange world of boys and girls.

He arrived at the laser tagging arena right when he was supposed to. To his dismay however, he spotted Alvin leaning against a wall admiring Bailey as she walked around and greeted her friends. Alvin and Bailey had once liked each other, but since he lived so far away they just couldn't keep it up. Luckily he was in town and could come to her birthday party. Seth knew this meant trouble, but he still gingerly went up to Bailey. They hugged and he whispered "Happy Birthday" in her ear. She giggled sweetly.

* * * * * * *

Once they had been evenly distributed into their teams they went into the prep room and received their vests. Each vest has a gun and to keep track of the scores, the gun has a name to it. Seth clicked his and Ginger appeared. Great, he thought, a gun that matches my hair color. Once Alvin finds out, he won't let this go. Rolling his eyes, he carelessly walked around and listened to what his other friend's names were.

Bailey had coincidentally been given Aphrodite. The perfect explanation of her beauty, so Seth thought. Alvin on the other hand, was Hades, the perfect name for the evil boy.

Seth had been paired to be on Bailey's team, something he was more than happy to accept. Alvin had gladly taken the opportunity to be on the opposite team in order to flirt with Bailey as he tagged her constantly. Seth had a feeling though that Alvin had some other things on his mind too. Pushing the thought aside, they suited up for battle. 3, 2, 1, GO! shouted the employee guarding the door. Charging into the arena, they almost trampled the poor boy. Pushing and shoving ended quickly after they had cleared the doorway. Once you were inside you ran any where you could get a good shot from.

Seth waited before the doorway had cleared before he cautiously stumbled in. Entering a whole new world, he didn't know where to begin. Immediately thinking of Bailey, he began walking around. Keeping his gun ready, he got a few good hits before he eventually could hear Bailey laughing. His eyes always stayed on her--not in a stalkish way, but a loving way--just to make sure she was safe.

Loosing himself in the game for a few seconds was all it took for his eyes to drift away from her, giving Alvin his long awaited chance. Sneaking up behind her, Alvin covered Bailey's mouth and took her to a far corner away from everyone else. Sensing her absence, Seth spun around, only to find blackness. The smoke that filled the arena was still lingering in his eyesight as he darted around the arena trying to find Bailey. Seth began to feel frustrated. He knew something fishy was going on with Alvin, he knew Alvin was behind all of this, the only thought that crossed his mind however was, he needed to find his damsel in distress.

Frantically looking in every nook and cranny, being careful as not to make is presence known immediately, he searched for her. Feeling overcome with emotion and thoughts, he almost gave up. What could he possibly be doing with her? Am I being a retard for even jumping to conclusions like this? Where is she?!

Thoughts danced around in his head uncontrollably, he was going crazy over this!

Turning a last corner very slowly, he spotted the prey. Disgusted by what he saw and heard, he had to fight with himself not to barge over and punch him in the face right then. All Alvin was looking for was for Bailey just to give him a little kiss, nothing too bad. After all, they had liked each other once and they had never had the chance to. Seth stood by eavesdropping, slowly losing his control on his furry. Bailey told him that she had liked him, then she had realized how much of a jerk he was and how she didn't want him to make her do this. Despite her pleads, Alvin would not let her go.

Losing all control, Seth came around the corner, trying to keep his voice soft and calm, he said, "Alvin, let her go. She said she doesn't want to. Don't you have any respect for her?" Breathing very deeply, he gave Alvin the best death glare he could conjure up. It's working! Thought Seth as Alvin began to slowly let Bailey go.

Speeding towards Seth, Bailey encompassed him with a big bear hug. Alvin stared, disgusted. Seth's heart was pounding and he was surprised it hadn't burst out of his chest.

Alvin slowly walked away, the color on his cheeks truly showing his embarrassment of what he had just done.

Continuing to hug Bailey, she whispered softly, "Thank you Seth, Thank you."

All Seth could do was stand there, not daring to say anything for fear of ruining the moment.

After several minutes, the employee came on the loud speakers and stated that the game was over. It's now or never. Seth thought. Slowly pulling apart, he grasped her hand and they walked out of the arena. Oh ya, I'm the hero:) was Seth's last thought before entering the world again.
