Rough draft of my book, First rough draft so be nice!

"It's seven o'clock on this beautiful Friday morning, the high today is in the seventy's and later on tonight we should be getting some rain in..."the announcer's voice was cut off as brad hit the snooze button on his alarm. He knew that he had to get up, but already he hated today. Most kids his age have been looking forward to this day for 4 years, but he hated the thought of graduating High School. Having to grow up, move on with life. Big decisions were coming up and his birthday was in, No! I'm not going to worry about that today, he thought quickly pulling his shirt over his head while heading downstairs to start on breakfast. As he was setting out mom's med's for the day he noticed that her iron supplements (note i have no idea what kind of medication she's on yet, but this one sounded good, lol) were getting low, he'd have to remember to stop at the pharmacy after... "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" the voice startling him, "this is a big day for you, you shouldn't be making breakfast!" "Oh mom, it's not that big of a deal" He said to her. "Living through four years of high school is a big deal brad." she said downing a glass of orange juice with her pills. He hated that she had to take so many but it was the only way of keeping her out of the hospital.

So that's it my first paragraph, lol it's only taken 4 months, lol tell me what you guys think of it, i'm not satisfied with it yet but it's a good start!

So... I'm leaving...

Tonight. It came up so quick! I miss you guys so much! I'm so excited to go and I'm nervous too but it's a good nervous, you know? I'm going to have so much fun I know it, but I wish you all could be there with me! I'm going to create another mini blog so I can post pics and videos and such on it so I don't clutter this one up. Plus I'm going to use it so others can see the pics without having to sort through our random but awesome posts. I'll be able to link it to this blog so you can just click on it on like the side of this blog.

I'm going to have a webcam with me and I'll be using this program called Skype. If you have at least a microphone you can have a conference call with me using a computer. And if you have a webcam you can see me and I can see you! It's really easy to set up and use. It's completely free and you just download it. It would make my day if you guys talked to me through that and help with the home sickness I'll have for a bit. Here's the website: www.skype.com

I love you all so much! Good luck with work and such when I'm gone! Carlo, Mindy, Hanna, Bret, Kati, and Kit Kat you are so awesome and I am so glad that we're friends.

Love,
Scott

P.S. I'm still calling tonight so don't think you're getting out of it! ;)

For those with unhealthy obsessions with kitties,,,

Ya'll are now a part of the Jersey Shore!

Until the water washes it away... which has probably already happened! Oh well. P.S. if it's a little too small to read you might have to click on the picture and then it'll grow big like a sunflower seed growing into a big sunflower plant!

Six Flags! And my dream...

My family went to Six Flags yesterday and it was tons of fun! This is probably the last time my whole family will be together for a long time. The pics are on Facebook so you can see them all there. The night before though I had an interesting dream. Me and my little brother went to go see Dark Knight again and when we got there at this really big theater and huge parking lot they had added another scene that was acted out on a stage by real people but it was somehow a part of the movie that involved this evil guy who could shoot lightning out of his hands and this other guy who was questioning him. The lightning guy had this helmet thing strapped to him that hooked up to a machine and he was demonstrating his power. The other guy turned out to be evil and he flipped this switch and the lightning guy's brains starting swirling around and then they exploded! We thought that this was evil and we were scared so we ran and so did a lot of other people. The area we were in went into a kind of lockdown and we couldn't get out and monsters came around killing everyone. My dad showed up and we ran around and found an abandoned apartment. The area was fenced off by really really thick woods but it turned out that they were just an illusion and my dad and little brother figured it out but they told me not to open and close the door but I couldn't hear them and did it anyway. We had previously been able to see the road but when I opened and closed the door the illusion came back! :( I don't remember much else but I THINK we got out.

Then my dream shifted into another one. Me, my sister Lysa, and Bret were vampires. Think Twilight and that's what we were. But we were hunting random things I'm not sure what they were. Maybe they were people? Maybe they were animals? I think they were both? Anyway, Lysa and I decided that there was one too many vampires in the group and we needed to get rid of one and well... Bret was the only one to choose from! Me being a newborn vampire (you'll understand this part if you read the books) I was really really strong so my sister and I planned it all out. I was going to take Bret from behind and wrap my arms around him so he couldn't escape while my sister tore him to pieces and burn him. Sorry Bret but it looks like I have a subconcious desire to kill you. But you're lucky because things didn't work out and we didn't kill you. Anyway that's my dream!

P.S. Videos of the rides are incoming but they're taking FOREVER to upload so... we'll have to see. Oh and I'm going to a Maroon 5 concert tonight! Whoop ya!

HEATH LEDGER IS ALIVE!

Okay so he really isn't alive but I wanted to poke some fun at Kati and Bret for their outrageous theory. Now, I can see it happening but I still think he's dead. Yes it's a really smart marketing move but still I think he's dead. Anyway I thought you guys would get a kick out of this so here you go!

P.S. - The phrase "Insha'allah" is arabic for "God willing." Or more correctly, if it is God's will.

Alright everyone, sorry for not having post sooner. I have a bad tendency of disappearing. I miss everyone so much.

I came back and met some cool people on the second flight. One lady that had a PhD in English and taught as a college professor for a number of years. She eventually quit that to work in real estate because she enjoyed that much more. I remember seeing her face around town but, it was really fun getting to know her. I love traveling and meeting single serving friends. She and I have been emailing back and forth keeping the conversation going. Mostly politics and such. She has a different point of view being from France but she and I maintain similar viewpoints. At any rate, she's very nice.

The last time I saw my dad's mom was in October of 2004 when I last stayed in Ecuador. She's spent the last month or so here and it was good getting to spend time with her. I find it funny that she drives my dad so completely insane. I kept telling him, "She reminds me of someone...just can't put my finger on it.... oh wait, YOU!!!" (Meaning my dad.) We just sent her back to Ecuador so she can be back home and with her other son. My dad wants to bring her up here again around November but, I won't be here so I think that this was the last time I'll see her in this life. Insha'allah my friends.

While I was gone a girl moved in with my family. Her name is Liberty and she is about 19 I think. Her family situation is less than desirable and with family being good she began spending time here. However, my family is very unified in certain things. I swear we are like the mafia. My dad and his buddies. We are la cosa nostra. This girl has basically become part of the family. Thats good though. She needs a good evironment.

I've been trying hard to find a job but, at this point I think its no longer worth it. I'll just have to wait till I get back to Idaho. In the meantime, I'm here enjoying the weather. Its storming right now with heavy rain, thunder, and bright lightning. I love this area. Birds, alligators, panthers, squirrels, parrots, etc. Have I mentioned how much I love animals. They make more sense to me than people. Pure. I probably sound nuts right now.

Whatever the case, I miss everyone there in Idaho but, I'm used to change. Time marches on and all we can do is make the best of the moment.

They bring diamonds and rust"

Adieu,

SkyDiving

K so Most amazign day ever!! My mom, my brother and I went skydiving!! It was so awesome. The guy i was attached to was named phil, he was so funny and awesome. I was lucky casue my mom got a really really big creeper! lol His name was Utah (yeah i know....) but he kept holding her hand as they were walking out to the plane and i was like oh heck no bud, and i walked up in the middle of them and started talking to my mom.... i was so about to hit him. pissed me off.. :) but When we were on the plane up in the air it was really bumpy and rocky and it took about ten minutese to get to the drop zone. As we were getting readdy the pilot said hold on and flew us up another thousand feet, right as we looked out the window a dang delta plane went by! But we made it to the drop zone and jumped out!! The force of the wind in your face is so awesome and just falling in the sky was incrediable!! Phil even let me fly the parachute for most of it, and usually you land on your butt when flying tandom but we made it standing up... whoop yeah! lol love you guys!!

Another story about the party!

Well it was my friend's going away party because he's heading to Provo for the fall semester and in his house he has a pool table. I was hanging out with that pretty young thing (Kati you know her, I showed you some pics of her) and it was a blast! Well we wanted to play pool and we finally got our turn but we wanted like 4 people to play but we didn't want to play in teams so we played a game called mystery ball. Basically everyone who is playing picks a pool ball and doesn't tell anyone what it is then you take turns hitting them in and if yours gets hit in then you're out. Anyway we finish that game and guess who wins? :) Then we were going to play a regular game of pool but I had this brilliant idea for a new game! Well you all know I'm pretty weird so I bet you can tell where this is going. There's 4 of us playing and there's 4 pockets we're close too. 2 on each corner and then we use the 2 middle pockets. So in between those 4 pockets we put the balls into a tight circle and we come up with the game "Eat more chicken!" The game is pretty much hungry hungry hippos but for pool. Everyone has to stand by their pocket and try to grab as many pool balls as they can and put it in their pocket! I win the first one. We play it a couple more times and then we decide to make it interesting and sit on a couch like 30 feet away and then run to it and play the game. Then we all lay down on our backs and run to it and play! It was so much fun! I love Eat more chicken! Best game evah!

Can I have yo numba?

Yesterday I was at the mall with my mom and sister. She was getting her pictures taken at JC Pennys and afterward we were going to walk around the mall. Well she found some jeans she liked but for whatever reason she didn't buy them. I then go to Express (which is the most classy and modern store) and take a look around. Lo and behold I see some graphic tees I liked and then I decided to try on a vest with them. I looked hot. But I didn't buy them because it was kinda expensive and the coupons we had did work until August 3rd. THe vest was $88 and the graphic tees were $19.50 each. Anyway we go home and my mom is able to print off a coupon that's $30 off a $100 purchase which is perfect! I was going to go back and get them on wednesday when I was getting my pictures taken but my sister decided she really did want to buy the jeans and she wanted to wear them for the party that we were going to that night so we drove back and went grocery shopping for my parents so it wasn't a complete waste of gas and she got her jeans and I got my clothes! I went to the party looking fine! Plus my goal was to flirt it up with the particularly pretty young thing and I did! I think she wants me! We had a texting convo last night that went pretty darn well if I say so myself. Anyway this is how I look in my new outfit as you've probably already seen. P.S. this is my sister's room so all the hair styling stuff isn't mine I SWEAR! lol
