Have a holly jolly christmas...

Winter is here my friends, and I don't see any signs of it leaving....so what's a girl to do but buy hello kitty earmuffs?!

Christmas is a month away, which seems so unreal! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me, Victoria, and my mom and step dad and brother went and got pictures with Santa Claus!!!! I'm very excited for Christmas, like so excited that i want to put up my Christmas tree NOW!!!!!I've been thinking about it....and i really really want to do a blogger Christmas present exchange! I know it might be creepy to like give out your address and stuff....but you should get a PO box! haha i realize that this probably won't happen.....but i waaaant it to :)
Yesterday i went to my friend Hannah's swim meet, and let me tell yah folks it was great fun! First off, Hannah is amazing. She's the one that keeps me awake through my first four periods of school, and the girl has the ability to make me laugh un-controlably, which is something i admire in a person! The meet was great and her swim team friends are awesome, they were very very excepting of my friend Cole and I. I've noticed that most kids are the hi and bye type. Who will say hi when they meet you then just not acknowledge your existence, but oh man swim team kids are so totally not that way. Not to mention that swim boys are sexy....dead sexy actually!

Cole's a dweed!
So I have to write a paper on Nelson Mandela...
it's due on Monday...
And i need to get off blogger and work work work!
hope you all have had an amazing week! Comments are love my friends

xxoo,
raigan












p.s. i still don't know what's up with these big ol' gaps!

There is a pair of panties in your toilet...

LOL um....Analiese had a pair of panties in her toilet....so i really needed to make that the title even though it's completely irrelevant....but geez it was hilarious!

i burnt my left hand on my straightener...
and although it's a funny story....
it REALLY hurts

I also went shopping today and got oodles and oodles of new stuff!!! Sweaters, zip-ups, a scarf, NEW UGGS, and dresses! It was quite the trip my friends, quite the trip indeed!

I'll post pictures later...cause I'm a lazy bum and i don't really feel like making this post all that excellent.

This week has been pretty good, my step dad had surgery in saint Louis so my mom, brother, and him went there all week for that and my grandparents stayed here with me. I went to two basketball games that were great fun!!!! I definitely missed basketball season and yah know just being with my friends cause without football and basketball games the only other thing we really do is go to the movies....and that just gets flat out boring.

I cleaned my room, it is SPOTLESS! OH OH OH! i finally got a full length mirror, that's a definite plus!!!

I have this armoire in my room that houses my television, and on top of it are like thousands of beanie babies (i was a cool child) and teddy bears of all varieties. This Thursday i took them all down, and although i know that,yes,they most definitely needed to go, i sort of felt like i was getting rid of my childhood. A couple tears were shed, nothing to major though haha.

We started playing this game at recess (oh yes, we still have recess in 8th grade, we're cool kids) called the oracle and oh man it's great. I'm gonna take full credit for introducing it because I'm just a brat like that. And I started off wanting to explain it to you...but now I just don't feel like it. Like I said, lazy bum!

Wow...i sound really conceited in this post with all my "yeah I'm just that cool"s and "I'm a brat like that", i promise that I'm not conceited....not even in the slightest bit.

I bought the new Taylor Swift CD called Fearless and my god, you all better get out there and buy it because let me tell you it is WORTH IT! It's beautiful, and can speak to pretty much everyone! I cried, no joke. I don't know if it's just me, but when she sings i feel like she's talking to me.

I also got the twilight soundtrack and I'm SOOOOOOO excited to go see the movie! Not to sure when that'll happen cause I think that on the 21st me and Victoria and Analiese and maybe Melissa might go see The Plain White T's, Meg and Dia, and The Cab!!!!!!!! I'm uberly excited for that, yes UBERLY!!!!

This post was kinda fun....i like filling y'all in on my not-all-that-exciting life!


I do need some post ideas though cause I'm pretty sure you guys are kind of getting tired of this kind of post...suggestions?

xxoo,
raigan

Oh Geez...











So...I've been a crappy blogger. Yeah, I'm sure you're fully aware of this. But i DO have excuses!!!

I went to visit my dad's family this weekend,thank God i did not see that man, but yeah it was nice.

I pretty much screamed with joy for about 3829572958723985 minutes when i learned that Obama won the election!!!!!! TAKE THAT NARROW MINDED CATHOLIC SCHOOL!!!! wootwoot!!!! The only downer is that kids at my school have decided that assassination would be the best option for our country, psh I'll assassinate them if they lay a hand on my beloved Obama's head!!!

I got my camera back....PICTURES! haha

I have been tagged by the ever so lovely MARY (http://hailmary-fullofgrace.blogspot.com/), and i just thought I'd mention that she is a very lovely girl with amazing fashion sense! And amazing hair!


kay so here goes it with the tagging!


1. Link to the person that tagged you
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.


1.When i was a little girl i was convinced that our car would not go until my seat belt was buckled, my mother trained me well!


2. I buy a lot of shirts, i only own 3 pairs of jeans and oodles and oodles of shirts. It's a severe problem, but the highlight in it is that leggings are a common part of my life. And everyone loves leggings!


3. I often lay in bed at night and think about other people, like...Paris Hilton (just an example, not a common one!), and think about how somewhere out there he/she is doing something at the same exact time as i am thinking about them.
4. I'm one of those people that masks pain with humor, I'm learning that it's not the best way to go about life.
5. I went on a twilight reading binge where at one point my views on fantasy and reality got twisted, and i actually started to believe some of it.
6. Getting text messages makes me like EXTREMELY happy, it's kind of un-real how excited i get when people text me.


now you know just how much of a dork i am! I tag...



1. Sydeny (http://sydney-speel.blogspot.com/)
2. Alyssa (http://highschool-confessional.blogspot.com/)


3. Elle (http://ellebellerambles.blogspot.com/)

4. Ellie (you really don't have to do this, cause i get how hard it is for you with the characters and such) (http://elliencompany.blogspot.com/)



i really can't think of anyone else, and I'm tired....and this post is just awful but...but....i'm sleeeeeepy haha


xxoo,
raigan






i'm sure you are loving this huge gap
cause i am too




i hate blogger






i cant fix it....so find the bottom and comment.....that's a command

McCain't and Nobama...

I'm going to try my best to not let my personal opinions get in the way of this post...but I'm also in need of some serious venting so...if you're not in the mood for a rant, then this most definitely is not the post for you.

At my school, when you're in eighth grade and it's an election year, you have a mock election with people pretending to be the candidates. This involves voting, campaigning, making commercials, and having a debate. It's supposed to be an educational experience, and it's supposed to help us learn more about the candidates and about how an election works.

It's turning into fights and yelling and people like flipping out at other people just because they support a certain candidate.


The people at my school are very narrow minded and set in their ways, it's a catholic school in which the majority of the students base all their political knowledge on their parents beliefs and on what they see on television commercials, and not the cold hard facts.


I don't' care if you don't agree with me, but to go around calling me a terrorist and a baby killer, it's completely un-necessary, ignorant, demeaning, and frankly it makes you look like an idiot.

I really do loving hearing people's opinions, I love hearing about the topics they view as important, and I really am open to others opinions....but when you express your opinion in a way that is degrading towards others you are not making the candidate you support,or yourself, look anything but ignorant.


So what that I don't agree with you? I'm sure that not everyone who reads my blog agrees with me, but guess what you guys don't go around calling me a baby killer and a terrorist!

Hippie? oh yeah...I'm that also! Who knew that I killed baby's, smoked weed, crashed planes into national monuments, and sold our country to the Middle East!!! Sorry that I forgot to fill you guys in on my little escapades!

I'm not going to sit here and pretend that i know everything about the issues, I'm not going to pretend that I'm the most educated "voter" out their, but I'm also not going to sit around and let the person I support get verbally abused by a bunch of incoherent, ignorant idiots who seem to think that they have all the facts and know everything about life and everything about the candidates.

You're a McCain fan? THAT'S AWESOME! Because guess what, you get to tell me how you feel!You're an Obama fan? THAT'S AWESOME! Because guess what, you get to tell me how you feel!I don't care who you like...this is what it comes down to....You're an American. People died for your rights. Get your butt out there and vote!!!

xxoo,Raigan

p.s. barack the vote ;)

p.s.s. I'M GOING TO SEE OBAMA SPEAK TOMMROW NIGHT ON CAMPUS, IF YOU GO TO MU YOU MOST DEFINIETLY SHOULD GET YOUR BUTT DOWN THERE!!!!!!

Whats wrong with diggin the backstreets???








I dont know smashmouth, why dont you tell me?

I've been kinda bummed for a bit, long story short i went to visit my dad's family and well frankly all i could think about was how he doesn't care about me. Which is deifnietly enough to send a girl's emotion into wack.

Which would explain the lack of blogging, sorry about that. I really am trying to not let personal issues get in the way of this blog. But i've been really wacked out lately, and you wouldn't of wanted ot hear my whining. Promise!!!

I'm uberly excited for halloween!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm being batman, a very girly amazing version.

And today i was introduced to a very amazing local restraunt, best salad and grilled cheese EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOO and brownies, cant forget the delicious brownies!!!!

another thing that i'm excited about? photo contests! because guess what, i was Victoria's ("big sisters") model for one! http://www.wgsn.com/ you should go to that website, becuase it's awesome....and that's what the photo contest is for!

I'll put some pics from that up later, and i WILL comment back, i'll do it i swear!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL DO IT!!!!!!

Saturday, October 4, 2008

i wouldnt read this if i were you...

Not to sure what this post is going to be about, I'm just bored....and haven't really been the best blogger lately considering i don't have pics up of the new hair or anything

it's just been a really......blah week. I haven't been in the mood to do much but hang out in my sweat pants and sleep. At school we had all our standardized testing this week and it just totally sucked the life out of me, im in need of some fun.



Which is why i went shopping yesterday with Victoria to get some flippin sweet clothes...wootwoot



American eagle is the bomb, Victoria's secret has amazing sales....and target is just amazing



I got that dress at American eagle, except it doesn't have the bow on it.......and i had no idea it was supposed to have a bow on it till i found this pic haha

Um....geez i hate this post like a lot i sound so depressed, which I'm really not....just a bit drained.....ahhhhhh make me happier with comments :)



xxoo,

seriously???

Alright for starters.....the pictures in the below post are of BEFORE the adventure in hair dying, the pink is fake (i fooled u, i know). Although it would be wicked awesome to have a pink streak, my school would make me cut it out, or do it themselves, so i didn't risk that with permanent dye and opted for an extension....that is now out.

Onto the next point....my hair is brown. I'm a brunette. Woah...words i thought i would NEVER say. It's a nice sandy blond sorta brownish color...i will have pictures soon i promise but really i don't feel like taking any right now (yes, this is a first)





Now onto what this post is really about...opinions.



I believe everyone has the right to their own opinion, but you do not have the right to express that opinion in a way that will CLEARLY hurt and/or offend others. I know that you can never please everyone, but let me give you an example of the comments I'm referring to



Me: guess what, it's national hug a vegetarian day, YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO HUG ME! *laughs*

Science Teacher: you're a vegetarian? uh....why?

Me: well, i do not have a problem eating meat but i do have a problem with the way the animals are treated before and during they re slaughtering, which is why i choose to not support an industry which tortures animals (note: this is a re-hearsed line used almost daily)

Science Teacher: ew...i like meat in my belly *gives a death stare*



REALLY? REALLY? Are you seriously that close minded, rude, and impolite to express this in front of a whole entire science class????

Couldn't you of just said, "oh, well i eat meat"! When you tell me you eat meat, i don't jump all over you for not being a vegetarian...



onto my next example...

This one comes from talking about gay and lesbian marriage, gay and lesbian relationships, etc.
I go to a catholic school, and although i do see myself as catholic, i do not agree with everything the church has to say....and i also do not think that the topic of homosexuality should be brought up in school considering the fact that almost always SOMEONE is going to get hurt...on we go



Me: I really don't think it's bad, God intended us to find love, at least that's what I've been told since i was five, and i honestly don't think he cares whether that's between members of the same or opposite sex

Gage: oh my god i can't believe you! That's disgusting! Two guys kissing, ewwww! That's nasty!


I do not care if you don't agree with homosexuality, i really do believe that that's something that is up to you, but when all you have to back that up is "ewww yucky!!!!" i have a hard time trying to take you seriously.


As much as I'd like to say I'm a strong diplomat who likes to see both sides of a story or opinion...it's hard for me to do so when those presenting the points have no legitimate reasons for their beliefs....

So if you're going to make a comment, be tasteful...it really isn't that hard, think about how YOU would want to be treated and how YOU would feel in the other person's shoes.

And have something to say other than "ewwww yucky"....you end up looking like a narrow minded (not to mention un-educated) jerk.

And guess who bought skinny jeans that are actualy the appropriate length?! MEEEEE! being the 5 foot (yes, exactly 5 feet but only when i take an extremley large breath in) freak that i am, this is a hard hard task! But finally, my loverly PacSun has graced me with the awesomeest jeans in the univerise.
