I am here sitting on my bed at home, missing a whole bunch of opportunity to learn something because I am sick. I hate being sick! The pain that radiates through your lungs as you cough yet again, how it feels like you ate sand paper and it got lodged in your throat making it scratch the inside of your esophagus every time that you do cough, or the head that feels like it is seriously going to explode and no matter how many Motrins you take it never goes away :P Ugg I really really hate being sick.
Any way, while I am stuck at home sick I have had to time to catch up on much needed sleep and I have gotten to think in the quiet of my room. Something that would never happen at school. Thinking about what you may ask? Everything is all I have to answer. Yesterday, I was on Facebook talking with one of my friends who asked what was on my mind. I answered the same way as I just did. Everything, or a whole bunch of random, useless nonsense. To that they replied: u should try to clear ur mind a bit...it'll make things less stressful someone younger than me just told me that my life would be a lot less stressful if I just let go of all the useless things I was thinking about. You know what? They're right, more than they've been right their wholes lives! I really do need to let my mind rest. Stop thinking about those stupid ACT things all the time. In English class yes, think about them all the time, but outside of class? Forget about them for a moment. Forget about what so and so said, it really doesn't matter anyway. Stop thinking about what you could have done differently almost a month ago, it doesn't matter any more!
Living a stressful life is probably why I happen to be sick right now. All the stress can lower the immune system, therefore making you more susceptible to what ever bug is floating around at the time. The only problem is I can't seem to let go all of this stress. Some of it yes, it's easy, but letting go of the rest of it is going to be the hardest thing I have done in my entire life. There are certain things that are just hard to let go, and I don't know why.
So after all of this I think we now know that living a stressful likes sucks :) Getting out and living your life is so much better for you than sitting around letting your mind be full of useless things that aren't going to help all that much.
Just some stuff that have been on my mind lately :D

Way I see it
The way people view things is always going to be different than yours. The way my mom may look at something is going to be totally different they what my little brother sees. It can be difficult trying to get along in life being hindered by that, but that is what is good about having different opinions or looking at things differently. You don't want to look at a flower just see a rose like someone else may. You want to look at it and see love, passion, fire, ect things that come to your mind when you see a rose or a puppy or anything else.
I hate trying to tell someone something you felt when you know no one else is going to have the same reaction to that certain thing, but when you really think about it, do you really want to have that feeling that meant so much to you being as popular as wearing socks with shoes?? No, I wouldn't. If something was that special to me, I would want to keep it to myself and never let anyone feel that feeling. It wouldn't be unique and it would make things way common and too much the same. Difference is good.
I also think that change is really important for us to see as a good thing. I have a friend that seriously can not take change. It takes him sooo long to realize that it is ok, change is good for you. The most consistent thing in the world is change. Isn't that so true? There is ever going to be change in the world, it is bound to happen. Letting your mind change and your heart change sometimes is a good thing. If you need to let go of something, you can change your mind and heart and say I am changing this, I need something new. I recently did that by changing my hair style and color.:) It was great to look in the mirror and see a new me.
The way I see the world is ten times different than how anybody else sees it. I like the way I see it. You are going to have people in your life that try to beat you down and make you see the world in the way they see it, but no can do with me. It is my life and the way I look at things can be different.
Any way that was just a bunch of rambling, but I needed to get all of this off my mind :)

Well a lot has heppened...
Well how have you all been sense my last post? :) I have been doing alright. I had a birthday not to long ago. On the 10th. I had a very good time. My friends sang to me on the bus the whole way to school, I got a huge pink gift bag with presents inside, and I had to carry it all day, it was really big and hard/annoying to carry it all day but I really didn't mind. It was just that having it by my side all day broad casted that is was my birthday... unwanted attention. They also baked me a chocolate cake with pink frosting that we ate during lunch... it was mmm mmm mmm good!
Well enough with that :)
Christmas is coming up and I can't wait for it! Christmas has always been a favorite holiday for me, as well as millions of others. But that reason that I like Christmas, is that I get to give with out an excuse for it! In Seminary we picked out a name of someone in our class, that we had to give a gift, or many gifts to. I got a boy that I don't really talk to, because we are total opposites. I think that having this name has been good for me. I have prayed a lot more, about what to give him and others, I have gotten to know him better, by just listening in on his conversations... (yeah yea yeah I know I am being an eavesdropper, but how else do I get an idea of what he likes?:)
Life has been good to me. We have a Christmas band concert, and I am playing not only my violin for the classic Christmas songs, but I am also playing the bass guitar for the jazz song my class is playing. :) It is great fun!!!
I will be better at keeping you posted, but I have been very busy lately :)Thanks for coming back though!

Up date! (Marching Band and life, plus writing)
Hello I am have not blogged in a little while and I decided that I would. I am going to do an up date about couple things. Here it goes!
Marching Band: We finally got off the wonderful brake that our band director gave us. It was a good two weeks of sleeping in, and now I am back to waking up ridiculously early. :) We practiced our new song called Patriotic Spectacular for our parade on the 4th this morning like we did yesterday morning. But today our director decided to make us march again down the street from the high school. We marched farther and faster then we did the first week. It was horrible!!!!! The bass drum kept slowing me down and getting me out of line. When we got back from marching I collapsed on the front lawn! I came home and slept for 3 hours.... It was glorious!!! Don't get me wrong I absolutely LOVE Marching Band! It is just a lot of hard work in the early morning :)
Life: I am having a pretty good summer and have enjoyed the more time I have to read and write! I was in a cleaning mood and decided to CLEAN my room. If you have or know any teenagers you understand that their type of clean does not match Parents type of clean... well I turned that around yesterday, at least for me I did. My room is now spotless and no it is not all stuffed under my bed or in my closet. It passed my moms inspection so I am good! All of my clothes are hung up in my closet or are in the dresser. My brothers' rooms are all still pig styes though. I woke up this morning to my clean room and thought that it felt so empty. I think it is better to have and empty feeling room then to have a messy full feeling room.
Some of these pictures of my room turned out crappy, but oh well... All the things behind my head board are blankets not junk :) such a pretty room isn't it? :)
This is my desk... you couldn't even see the surface of it, and I am sure that my turtle was very scared of things crowding the side of her tank, let alone things almost falling in it. Now it only has my books lined up on the side of it :)
This is, or was I should say, the dresser of doom..... I could not find anything in it or on top of it. Now I can see where all of my jewelry body sprays, and other things are :)
Writing: I have come up with some AWESOME ideas for my new story I have decided to write! I have the first chapter and the first sentence of the second chapter. I know that that doesn't seem like a lot but I am proud of myself for coming up with such an awesome, or at least my mom and I think, story idea. I got my writing abilities from my mom, but I also got my passion for writing from her too :)

BFF's
On my mom's blog, she wrote about her BFF. She got the idea from another blog, so I am going to write about my BFF.
Her name is Megan, and we've have been Best buds since we knocked each other on our butts in 5th grade. We were walking/running to the lunch line I was going one way she the other and we ran into each other not really meaning too. We got up and instead of yelling at each other we smiled and started to talk. It turns out she was born in Long Beach California. She has a sister, a huge Great Dane/ Black lab, and I think 6 cats. :)
We are really bad at being quite... the first time she came over we started to dance and sing. Well lets just say we caused some problems with that.
We also liked to roller blade down steep hills in my neighbor hood, and we got locked in the food storage room... we pushed the door shut and my brother hit it so hard that is got pushed in and jammed. We talk a lot on the phone too. My mom gets mad at me for talking to much :)
We can say with out a doubt we are very crazy! We are alike in so many ways but different too. It makes the friendship funner!
Even though I have moved, we still keep in touch and miss each other terribly. I want her to know that I love her tons and that we will be friends forever and ever.
I would also like to thank my other friends that have done sososososososo much for me every day that I am with them. I love them too!

I am red!
Last night I dyed my hair. I am now a dark auburn. It is not permenet and it will wash out in 8-10 shampooings, but hey I am now RED!!! I am naturally a medium brown with blue eyes and lots of freckles. So the red with the blue eyes and the freckles looks good. At leats I think so. I had fun doing it and the dye has a fruity smell. :) yum!

Welcome!
Hello my name is Laurel. As the title says I am a KLUTZ!!!!!! I can't walk over a flat surface with out falling. :) I hope you enjoy this blog and keep coming back for updates!
Somethings about me...
I play the violin and I am the ONLY one in a band, yes I said BAND! I have 5 brothers and no sisters. I just had a birthday on the 10th of December. I live in Utah and have lived here since I was born. I like to bake and cook. I think of it as a stress relief. My favorite thing to bake is Chocolate Chip Cookies. My family loves them and the cookies NEVER stay on the pan for more then a few minutes. I just moved and am getting use to the change. It is a SMALL place and I like bigger places more. I write and just finished my first short story. My mom along with her short story sent it off the LTUE BYU contest. I am all jittery and hope that it does well. I like to talk and when I get going it is hard to stop... hehehe :)
Any way, I hope you like the blog and keep coming back for more!
