Random Blog Time!

Hello again!
Summer here!
Whew, I am exhausted.
I guess this sand volleyball thing is becoming a regular thing now!
I just got back from my second night in a row of sand volleyball and I had a blast!
Won 5 out of 6 games.
I call that an overall WIN.
Considering the only one I lost was by 2. :(
Dang flabbit!

And now... the moment you've all been waiting for..
SUMMER'S RANDOM BLOG!
:D
The votes are in!
Drum roll please....
IT IS A TIE!
Bongos and the Twilight Saga were our winners!
So without further adue...

BONGOS:

Bongo drums

or bongos are a Cuban percussion instrument consisting of a pair of single-headed, open-ended drums attached to each other. The Atlantic slave trade brought the antecedent of the bongos to Cuba from Africa. The history of bongo drumming can be traced to the Cuban music styles known as salsa, changui, bolero, and son, which first developed in eastern Cuba (Oriente Province) in the late 19th century. They have become a popular instrument among soundtrack writers for movies and television. Pretty cool huh?! :D

THE TWILIGHT SAGA:

Twilight

is a series of four vampire-based fantasy romance novels by American author Stephenie Meyer. It charts a period in the life of Isabella "Bella" Swan, a teenage girl who moves to Forks, Washington, and falls in love with a 104-year-old vampire named Edward Cullen. The series is told primarily from Bella's point of view, with the epilogue of Eclipse and Part II of Breaking Dawn being told from the viewpoint of character Jacob Black, a werewolf. The unpublished Midnight Sun is a retelling of the first book, Twilight, from Edward Cullen's point of view. The novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, which tells the story of a newborn vampire who appeared in Eclipse, was published on June 5, 2010 as a hardcover book and on June 7 as a free online ebook.

　

Twilight

Main article: Twilight (novel)

Bella Swan moves from Phoenix, Arizona to live with her father in Forks, Washington to allow her mother to travel with her new husband, a minor league baseball player. After moving to Forks, Bella finds herself involuntarily drawn to a mysterious, handsome boy, Edward Cullen. She eventually learns that he is a member of a vampire family who drinks animal blood rather than human. Edward and Bella fall in love, but James, a sadistic vampire from another vampire coven, is drawn to hunt down Bella. Edward and the other Cullens defend Bella. She escapes to Phoenix, Arizona, where she is tricked into confronting James, who tries to kill her. She is seriously wounded, but Edward rescues her and they return to Forks, having killed James.

　

Forks, Washington

New Moon

Main article: New Moon (novel)

Edward and his family leave Forks because he believes he is endangering Bella's life. Bella falls into a deep depression, until she develops a strong friendship with Jacob Black, who she discovers can shape shift into a wolf. Jacob and the other wolves in his tribe must protect her from Victoria, a vampire seeking to avenge the death of her mate James, by killing Bella. A misunderstanding occurs, and Edward believes Bella is dead. Edward decides to commit suicide in Volterra, Italy, but he is stopped by Bella, who is accompanied by Edward's sister, Alice. They meet with the Volturi, a powerful vampire coven, and are released only on the condition that Bella be turned into a vampire in the near future. Bella and Edward are reunited, and she and the Cullens return to Forks.

Eclipse

Main article: Eclipse (novel)

The vampire Victoria (James' mate from Twilight) has created an army of "newborn" vampires to battle the Cullen family and murder Bella for revenge. Meanwhile, Bella is compelled to choose between her relationship with Edward and her friendship with Jacob. Edward's vampire family and Jacob's werewolf pack join forces to successfully destroy Victoria and her vampire army. In the end, Bella chooses Edward's love over Jacob's and agrees to marry him.

Breaking Dawn

Main article: Breaking Dawn

Bella and Edward are married, but their honeymoon is cut short when Bella discovers that she is pregnant. Her pregnancy progresses rapidly, severely weakening her. She nearly dies giving birth to her and Edward's half-vampire-half-human daughter, Renesmee, but Edward injects Bella with his venom to save her life and turns her into a vampire. A vampire from another coven sees Renesmee and mistakes her for an "immortal child". She informs the Volturi, as the existence of such beings violates vampire law. The Cullens gather vampire witnesses who can verify that Renesmee is not an immortal child. After an intense confrontation, the Cullens and their witnesses convince the Volturi that the child poses no danger to vampires or their secret, and they are left in peace by the Volturi.

　Now I, for one, LOVE the twilight saga! Ecspecially new moon. :) I am a sucker for Jacob. Who would you choose?

Edward Cullen – Edward is a vampire who lives with a coven of like-minded vampires known as the Cullen family, who feed on animals rather than humans. Over the course of the Twilight series, Edward falls in love with, marries, and then has a child with Bella. At first, Edward feels a mutual hatred toward Jacob Black because of his love for Bella, but in Breaking Dawn, he comes to see Jacob as a brother and friend. Like some vampires, Edward has a supernatural ability: mind reading. It allows him to read anyone's thoughts within a few miles radius. Bella is immune to his power as a human, but learns how to lower this "shield" after her transformation to a vampire.

Jacob Black – A minor character in the first novel, Jacob is introduced as a member of the Quileute tribe. He resurfaces in New Moon with a much larger role as Bella's best friend as she struggles through her depression over losing Edward. Although he is in love with Bella, she initially sees him as just her best friend. He and other tribe members can shape shift into wolves. In Eclipse Bella realizes that she loves Jacob, though her feelings for him are overpowered by her love for Edward Cullen. In Breaking Dawn, Jacob finds a (platonic) soulmate in Bella and Edward's baby daughter, Renesmee, ridding him of his heartache for Bella.

　I am proud too say that I am for Team Jacob. :D

That is all I have for today.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Untill next time,

PANERA BREAD! :)

Sand volleyball and other adventures

Ello' everyone!
Summer here.
Since I haven't really posted an interesting blog in a while...
and since I have nothing too do right now..
Here is one!
I hope you enjoy it. :) Bahahaha.


Well, today was great fun!
For one, I got to see some freakin' awesome people whom I haven't seen in a while.
For two (yes I just said that! ha), I played sand volleyball.
For those of you who know me, you know that I can be quite competitive. ;)
You guys just know how this is going to turn out.. don't you. :D
Anyway, back to sand volleyball.
Needless to say, the team of my cousins Jonathan and Ashley, my uncle Mark, and I were ballers to say in the least. :D
After two wins.. we decided to shake things up a bit.
So, being the brave ones we are, we traded my cousin Jon for my little brother.
And guess what... WE WON AGAIN!
How is that for ballers. ;D
That's right, be jealous.
*laughter*'
Now this sand, was no ordinary sand.
It was a little rough.
So now my feet are raw, and they hurt. :(
But it was worth it to have so much fun. :D
You all really should try sand volleyball sometime; You won't be dissapointed.
Now, seeing as I have absolutely nothing to do tomorrow, I will probably post again.
Be ready.
I think I shall write about..... hmmmmm..
Well, I will let ya'll choose.
Vote fast!

Peace and blessings.

PANERA BREAD! :)

I hate it when I am in an awkward situation and I can't find a Twix

I am allergic to chocolate.
So I cant eat Twix candy bars.
And do I like chocolate?
Very much so.
Can I eat it?
No. Of course not.
Do I occasionally go insane because I cant eat it?
Heh, heh.
No..man, what are you talking about?
Well...I dont know..I mean if you dont know what your talking about then of course I dont know.
After all..you are asking questions to yourself.
Thats true.
Very true Hailey.


Today..
I fell.
I fell upon the grass..and dirt...and I fell into love.
It turns out...it didnt hurt as much as I thought it would..
but the thought of it..made me want to run.
And when I did..I tripped.
Over a treestump.
Yes, a treestump.
Quit looking at me like I'm a beaded necklace without the string.
I may have hurt my toe...but that was not at all what my mind was on when I fell.
It was the random guy that I landed on.
I knew I shouldnt have went for a jog today.
I just knew it.
I mean, one minute I am jogging, with my headphones in, listening to Halls and Oats..
and the next minute...I am giving the ground a form of indearing effection..aka...embracing it.
Or rather..Mr... random guy laying under me.
And as my grandmother would say while she listened to this story, "OH DEAR ME!" or "MY HEAVENS"
Okay...my grandmother has never said anything close to that in my entire life.
This isnt Little House on the Prarie, sheesh.
The point is..I may have not been paying attention.
I might have been a little too into my Halls and Oats music.
But seriously....who wouldve thought that THIS would happen.
To me.
And oh gracious me, I am caught without a Twix.
Although, I really should get off of him before unwrapping the chocolate covered monstracity.
I get off of the guy...and immediately start complaining.
Because as I said...I hurt my toe.
I know, I know.
Your thinking, "Hailey! Ask if the guy is okay! And QUIT WORRYING ABOUT YOUR TOE! SUCK IT UP WOMAN!"
Calm down, calm down...
I was very kind about it.
I complained...WHILE I helped the guy up.
Because well, I am a girl of many layers.
Courteousness..being one of them.
As I helped him up..
I saw something.
...................................................
.....................................................
........................................................
.....................................................
...............................................
...................................................
...........................................................
...................................................................
......................................................................
......................................................
...............................................................
..................................................................
................................................................
I know..the suspense must be killing you..
.....................................................
...............................................................
....................................................
............................................................
..........................................
................................................
Okay, I'll stop.
You dont have to yell. :)

What I saw was...beautiful hazel eyes.
And it didnt stop there.
Curly brown hair raveled down his face like an overgrown vine that was given an overdose of Miracle Green.
You know, in a good way.
He had a beautiful chocolate complection that screamed out two words.
Hollister model.
He wasnt dark like a shadow..you could tell that he was only half or less of african american desent.
And get this...when I fell..I must have not hit only the ground..
I must have fell on his ABS.
He was indeed very muscular...but not TOO muscular like a body builder.
You could tell that he works out.
And man has the gym been kind to HIM!

He was a good height.
And he wore Nike tennisshoes.
I complained about my toe hurting...whining...and I think he thought I was kidding..
because when he heard me say "ouch my toe" when he asked if I was alright..
he wipped out the gorgeous smile of his.
Get. This...
He had a smirk.
A hansome smirk.

Now...before you get caught up in imagining your own version of him..I have to tell you how this goes down.
I mumble.
I stumble.
And when he asked me what I said...words couldnt come out.
Something wet fell on my arm.
I have come to the conclusion of the facts that:
#1) Birds are obnoxious..and they should not poop on people..and that God should have created birds with minature toilets sewed to their butts.
#2) I drooled on myself.
#3) Rain!
As much as I wanted it to be number 1 or 3, (sadly) it wasnt.
And thank goodness he wasnt looking.
He appologized..and I did as well for not paying attention.
And..then I watched as he dusted himself off.
Not ever once in my lifetime have I ever thought that the dusting of oneself could be so beautiful.
Until now.
My eyes have been opened.
It wasnt a lengthy conversation considering I couldnt conjour up words..
so I just got his name.
He now has a nickname.
Its McSteamy.
We talked about jogging...a little music..what we were doing for the summer.
You know...stuff.
Then we went on our way.
He looked to be around my age...or a little bit older.
He was just visiting his grandparents.

Love at first sight.
Okay..like, rather.
But thats the story about how I fell into love.
Well, onto love actually.
I swear, this could only happen to me.
I mean, who runs into people and falls down..
I say that like its never happened before...Im dramatic what can I say..
Anyways..
I was caught without a Twix.
And if I had, had one...maybe I wouldnt have met him.
And maybe it wouldve melted in my pocket while I was jogging.
Ah, real life.
It just goes to show you..
life is unexpected.
You never know when it could change.
And maybe nobody needs a Twix in awkward moments..
I'm starting to think you should go with Skittles..you can jog with those.
:)

So enjoy life.
Enjoy the moment.
(whispered) Tast the rainbow.

- Hailey jumps, Hailey kicks, Haileys goin nowhere without her Twix.

When I Die...I Want To Be Buried At The Cheesecake Factory

Dearest blog,
it's hailey here.
And yes..it's been awhile...but chill...cuz nothing really interesting has happened.
Okay, I lie.
A few really cool things have happened to me so far this summer.
First off, I made a new friend!
And...well...there are always room for new friends in your life.
Friends teach you lessons, life lessons, and I guess God sent another one so He could teach me something else in my life.
Another thing is...that I actually got to talk to Nick Jonas.
And you don't hear that everyday from people...
if I had written this blog the day of instead of a week after...I wouldn't be THIS mellow.
Anyways, your probably wondering how this happened...right?!
Well, it was on a live video chat.
And....I would tell you the raw details...but this is the internet folks...
to the people that know me...I will tell you soon. :)
So, as you can see..these are just some of the interesting things that have happened to me this summer.
Besides the fact that I'm going on vacation with my mom and I might get to see the Jonas Brothers in concert.
But, you know....nbd.

Truth time.
Everyone in life has problems.
Everyone in life has difficulties.
People talk.
We all like gossip.
We all say one thing...and mean another.
There are people that stay...people that leave.
Leaders....and followers.
You wanna know my point right?
Bare with me.
Imagine this.
Imagine, that for one month...everything in your life was perfect.
I know.
Hard to conjure up...am I right?
I mean, we all have our own way of looking at perfection.
Some think its the fact that everything is precise.
And in a way they would be right.
Since dictionary.com is SO incredibly handy...I decided to grasp it...and put the site into good use.
Perfect (adj.)- 1.
conforming absolutely to the description or definition of an ideal type: a perfect sphere; a perfect gentleman.
2.
excellent or complete beyond practical or theoretical improvement: There is no perfect legal code. The proportions of this temple are almost perfect.
3.
exactly fitting the need in a certain situation or for a certain purpose: a perfect actor to play Mr. Micawber; a perfect saw for cutting out keyholes.
4.
entirely without any flaws, defects, or shortcomings: a perfect apple; the perfect crime.
5.
accurate, exact, or correct in every detail: a perfect copy.
6.
thorough; complete; utter: perfect strangers.
7.
pure or unmixed: perfect yellow.
8.
unqualified; absolute: He has perfect control over his followers.
9.
expert; accomplished; proficient.



Turns out...
perfection has many meanings and angles.
I like the way number 4 puts it.
Without flaws.

Back to the imagining part.
Imagine having the perfect life.
The perfect house.
The perfect grades.
Imagine the perfect money amount.
Like, if you were rich.
Imagine having a porsche as your first car.
Oh, and at school...having the perfect boyfriend.
A guy that was a gentleman, smart, funny, a killer smile...lets not forget the muscles.
Awww yeauh.
With a 6 pack.
Oh! Oh! And...a smirk..
I'm getting out of control here...you get the point.
Anyways, imagine how your life would be.
Would you be gorgeous?
Popular?

After you've thought about that...ponder this..
would you remain the same.
Would you remain humble?
Would you appreciate the smaller things in life?
Or would certain people fade out of the picture.

If so, maybe thats the point.
Maybe you are who you are...because of that exact thing.
If everything were perfect in your own life...what would there be to look forward to.
Who would still be by your side.
Who would you push away.
What exactly would you learn.

Here's what I think.
I think God does certain things for a reason.
And yeah, we've all heard the better side of that arguement before...
but it's true.
We are all made differently.
We all have different things, we all have different desires..
we all have a craving for different things and want to take different paths throughout our lifetime.
Why is it..that when someone has something we don't...we want it.
And why do we fret when we dont get it.

For example...there was this one girl in my class...lets give her a nickname since this is the internet...
Her name was Wendy Garfunkle.
(Yeah, I just saw a Wendy's commercial...don't hate!)
Anyways,
I used to think she had it all.
The hair, the guys, the brains..
she could even play sports.
I was new to the school...so I wasnt sure how things worked.
When I first saw her...I just knew we had to be friends.
I was vulnerble and naiive.
We started to talk on the internet, and I started to notice that she would leave me shorter and shorter e-mails.
Before long, it became one word e-mails that were being sent back to me...and half of the time..I was the one holding up most of the conversation.
If the conversation were a tent...it would have collapsed.
Horrible right?!
So here I am...pouring my heart and soul out to someone who was probably bored to death...and most likely..didnt care.
But I started to see a pattern.
Her e-mails got longer the more she started to talk about other people.
I have this thing.
Its more of a complex really.
I HATE to talk about what other people are doing...not all together...just in the way of..you know...gossip.
And that is exactly..what Wendy loved, gossip.
When she realized I didnt respond to the way that she treated other people behind their back...I knew I had to stop talking to her.
Immediately.
But I couldnt.
It was like it had some kind of a pull on me...and my soul.
It took me over...completely.
I thought I was so secure in knowing that what she was doing was wrong...but I could be easily swayed..just like anyone else.
One day, I decided to talk to her because I saw that she was online.
I sent her a message..and there was no reply.
I waited for her to answer..but there was no reply.
I refreshed the page..and I saw that the e-mail had been read.
My heart sunk.
I looked at her profile..and she was no longer online.
If you thought that my heart sunk low last time...you would never guess just how low it sank this time.
I was done.
She was ignoring me...and..
since I talked to her and got caught up in her web...I spilled things.
Things about my life.
Things about me.
I was giving in.
I wanted to be friends with perfection.
And the more I wanted to look and be perfect..the more I felt ugly..and embarrassed..
like I should go hide in a hole somewhere.
I decided to speak up.
I asked her why she would ignore me.
I asked her why she treats people the way she does.
And it wasnt that simple of a message.
I blew up. Hailey was gone...Girl Interrupted had taken over.
And it felt good.
The next day..people were asking me why I would act that way towards Wendy.
She ended up telling other people and showing them my e-mail.
There it was...all over school.
Thats when I knew.


Perfection looks good.
Okay fine...its like....putting Lil- Wayne next to Shemar Moore. Big. Contrast.
It looks gorgeous.
Everyone wants it.
Even if its just a piece.
Even if its just for awhile.
But what comes out of it?
A pretty face and other materialistic ventures?
It all fades.
And thats when reality takes its toll.
Wendy was pretty.
She had it all.
But she wasnt happy.
She could have been given Gods green earth and she lived for other peoples things.
She only wanted what they had.
Even if it meant hurting them.
SO..
Heres the jig.
Next time you see something that someone else has that you might want..
be happy for them.
I know it can be hard.
Lets just face it...Its straight up brutal.
But its worth it.
Jealousy and lust brings out the ugly in people.
Take it from someone who knows.
Like God Himself.
I mean...think about it.
He walked around on this earth and people didn't believe who He was.
They all laughed at Him.
Talked behind His back.
Spat at Him.
Cussed to His face.
And He was Christ!
The one who died for them!
How insane is that!?
He kept His composure.
He didnt try payback...He didnt cuss back at them.
Which is something that really inspires me.
There are times when people just want to break down...
lets face it people...there are times when we just LOSE IT.
Ive felt that way...and the more I read Gods word and prayed..
the more He talked to me and made me understand.
You know when your going through a rought patch in life...and the most comforting people say to you is "We've all been there kiddo" or "Your not going through this alone"..oh..and lets not forget "There are people out there who have it way worse, hun."
Lets face it..those are just flat out sad excuses.
Next time...think about this..
God did it.
God made it through.
God has the wheel...and your going to be just fine..He promised to never let you fall.
He's always there to comfort you.
Hows that for a good 'ol pep talk?!
I know, right?!
SO much betta. (just turned my british accent on..heh, heh.)


Dont be so quick to be perfect...God created you...
Isnt that perfect enough?!


-My name is Hailey, muh friends call me Hailer..dude I have asthema..GET MY INHALER!
