20-22 June 2010

Sunday I went to see Toy Story 3 at the movie theatre and it was FANTASTIC!  I totally cried.  But it was really good!  Everyone go see it! 

Monday I was just kind of wandering the house...so I took a picture of our dog, Indie (short for Sir Indiana Jones) outside our garage.

And yesterday, Tuesday, my mom, sister, and I were out at Ruby Tuesday's for dinner.

You Are a Corn Dog

You are lively and carefree. You are playful, and you enjoy food that is fun! You are easily delighted. The smallest pleasures in life make you quite happy. Whenever there's a party, you're not far from it. You live for the good times. You are an engaging and interesting person. You make an excellent impression and find friends easily.

You Are Rebellious

You make seem sweet at first glance, but appearances can be deceiving. You are a total rebel who likes to do things your own way. You're really quite subversive. You can get what you want through charm and grace. When people are around you, they don't know what hit them. You tend to have a pretty big agenda, but you hold your cards close to your chest.

You're Sweet Because You're Zany

You've got a little zing to you, and people appreciate your edge. You would never use your wit to hurt anyone, but you never pass up the opportunity for a good joke. Your take on the world is a little unconventional, and you don't mind entertaining people with your observations. You may not fit perfectly into the mainstream, but you wouldn't want to. You like being different.

18 and 19 June 2010 and the creation of the Stefon Tribute

So, this update will cover two days, because I haven't had a chance to get to the computer much recently.  Too much fun with the Murchols! 

This is on the 18th when we all headed up to Heritage Square to ride the Alpine Slide, play mini golf, and ride some epic go-karts.  On our way to the go-karts, we stopped to take this picture and it just happened to be 6:43!

And this is on the 19th, where upon our return home from Idaho Springs (and a terrifying drive on Oh My Gawd Highway) we all took a nap, including me.

Not long after I finished my nap, we began to write and film a Murchols tribute to Stefon (from SNL).  Here are some photos taken while we were rehearsing.

I'll be sure to post the video once it's done.  :-)  In the mean time, check out this awesome video!

You Are Driven By Self-Improvement

You believe that if you're too satisfied in your life, you're doing something wrong. You are always trying to better yourself, and that means putting in a lot of hard work. You want to be the best you can be, and you hardly ever rest. You are a type A person for sure. You are always trying to make your strengths more robust and your weaknesses disappear.

What Drives You?

You Should Live in a Modern Home

You are a very modern and sophisticated person. You are on the cutting edge of style. You gladly adopt new trends, and you're the type of person who's always interested in the latest gadgets. You don't like your life (or your house) to be too cluttered. You are a bit of a minimalist. You strive for perfection and balance. You want to be seen as a success.

17 June 2010: America's Got Talent On Demand

So...around 6:43-ish I was watching America's Got Talent On Demand.  Boring, I know, but I was tired from a day at Water World.

16 June 2010: Boulder Dinner Theatre

So, this is where I was at 6:43 today!  Sitting at Boulder Dinner Theatre to see Peter Pan!  Was surprisingly good, actually!  Had loads of fun!  This is before the show even began, while we were all finishing up our dinners.

Your Summer Sense is Sight

You are very visually oriented. It's likely you're an artist - or at least a good photographer. You are good at taking in a lot of visual stimuli at once ... the more the better. Your eyes love the bustling scenes of summer. You could spend hours at a crowded beach people watching. You are equally moved by the sights of nature. You can be endlessly entertained on a quiet hike.

15 June 2010: Film on the Rocks and The Northern Way

Okay, even though this post is coming from the morning of the 16th, it's about the 15th. First of all, I have redesigned...I hope everyone likes it. And now, for the photos of 8:36.

Here we have the Murchols in line at Red Rocks for The Princess Bride (part of Film on the Rocks)

And here is the view from where we were in line at Red Rocks. 

 Oh, and I also got to meet the opening band, The Northern Way.

The Beginning of 6:43

So, I haven't been posting much because I don't really know what to post, but recently some family friends have been staying at my house and apparently one of them has a blog where they post a picture of wherever they are and whatever they're doing at 8:36 (or something like that), so I decided that it would be super cool if I did the same thing!  I was trying to think of a time, and my first thought was 2:15, because that's my birth date, but then I realized one school starts, I'll be in class at that time, so that would be a really bad idea, then I thought 13:13, but that would also be me in class on a school day, so I was trying to think of times that add up to 13, such as 14:08, but I would be in school for that, too, then I stumbled upon 6:43 pm, which is a good time where I would most likely not be at school, and adds up to 13!  So from now on (hopefully) I will be posting daily pictures of me and whoever I'm with at 6:45 pm.  Voila, the first one!

This first picture is taken in the parking lot of Lakeside amusement park, where I spent most of the night with the
Murchols, the combined name of our family friends and my family, the Nichols and the Murleys.  It's of the sign that used to mark the enterance of the former Lakeside Speedway, that no longer operates.  Oh, and by the way, if anyone plays Silent Hill, Lakeside is the amusement park in that game.

but anyway, I really need to go to sleep right about now, considering I'm waking up at 5:30 to try and get ready and leave the house at 6:45 (my gosh!  It's like a school day!)  So, good night everyone! 

Star Trek!

So, just two days ago was Zachary Quinto's birthday, and for those of you who don't know, ZQ is one of my FAVOURITE actors, if not my favourite.  So, to celebrate, I watched one of my favourite movies (that he happens to be in), Star Trek.  Other than that...I've done pretty much nothing these past few days except watch Star Trek multiple times and quote it relentlessly on Facebook and Twitter.

You Are Cloudy

Like everyone else, you are human. You have your ups and downs. You try to be resilient and weather the storm. You usually can find a silver lining. You struggle to be happy, and so far you are winning the battle. Make room in your life for a little fun every day. It will do wonders!

You Shine Early

You're the type of person who does well both in the early afternoon and the early evening. You thrive with a routine, especially if this routine means waking up super early in the morning. You love to be cozy and calm. Too much excitement tends to drain your reserves. You have the most energy during the fall and winter. When everyone else is winding down, you feel inspired.

Long Overdue Update...

Well, it has been a while since I've updated...I'm terribly sorry...so I'm just going to highlight the most interesting parts of my life since then...



Well, Millie rehearsals have been coming along, and I think the show will be awesome. :-) But, it's summer, and I'm out of school!



Of course, my last two days of school were finals. Friday consisting of my Earth Science, Intro to Literature and Composition Honours, and Geography finals. My Earth Science final was terrifying...I had a B+ in that class and that test would determine if it stayed a B, or became an A. Luckily, I felt it went pretty well. My Lit. and Comp. test was also scary, because it was a huge portion of my grade. I wasn't so sure how well I did on that one...then my Geography final, which was super easy for a number of reasons, and didn't even count for a large portion of my grade. Monday I had the remaining finals. Integrated Mathematics Program 1 followed by French 1. Both wouldn't really effect my grade at all...



My dad, who is now down in Alabama helping with clean-up and the stopping of the BP oil spill, was back for a few days on vacation and was able to pick me up early on my last day. So far, my summer and generally consisted of nothing...just working out, watching tv, and occasionally visiting the pool by my house. Also an epic shopping spree at Forever 21. Oh! And loads of sleeping in.



My grades were finally posted, and once again, I managed straight As. SKILLS!



So...hopefully I'll be posting a lot more from now on.
