Ode to the Sweaty-toothed Madman...
If you have never seen this movie (The Dead Poet Society) please get off your computer, rent it, and watch it right away. The lesson you learn and the motivation to be better it brings is astounding. Love it.
Go watch it right now. ..Please! :) You WON'T regret it!

A Mother's Love
I am not a mother, so I can't say I've ever truly felt a mothers love. Everyone says it's a different kind of love. (I guess a father would feel it too) but every time I see these little boys-- when I hear them laugh, cry, or do just about anything-- I feel a joy I've never felt before. I wonder what I would do if anything happened to them... so I can only imagine the worry and concern that must go through the heads of their actual parents when things go wrong.
Sometimes it's hard for a hormonal teenage girl to remember how much she owes to her own mother. As I sit and think about the horrible things I've said to my mom in times when I feel like I have no control over my anger, the things I've said even when I DO have control over myself, I realize how much more I need to learn in this life. Sometimes I feel like I say things to mom I wouldn't say to anyone else because I know she'll still love me even if I am not always kind and forgiving to her.
If you know me at all you probably know that I get scared of things easily. I hate halloween because it seems like everyone enjoys getting scared...except me-- of course. One thing I am seemingly terrified of is life. Life is hard!! I'm not saying MY life specifically is harder than everyone elses, I'm just saying life in getneral is HARD! I'm just starting to grasp this concept. School is hard this year and I'm more stressed than ever about grades, doing well with violin, medical issues, but I kknow that's what life is and I'm just starting to learn how to take control of it. Sometimes the only way I know how to stay sane is by finding someone I can take out my stress on and because mom and dad will always forgive me it seems they usually get the brunt of "who I take my stress out on." As much as I hated the movie "Where the Wild Things Are," it seemed to sum up my feelings pretty plainly.
"He doesn't mean to act like this-- he's just scared." That's not to say it's okay, but this is just how I feel right now. I know I can get past it, but we'll have to work through it together. Love you mom and dad :)

The Epitome of my Love
Right now it is like this outside
Which means soon it will be like this..
Which means that the annual competition of this is soon at hand
(for those who don't know what this is a picture of, this is my family and I listening to dad remind us of the official rules of RUNNING CHARADES which is probably one of two things [the other is ping pong] that the Johnson family actually is competitive at.)

Puzzling?
Does anyone else find the whole... Nobel Peace Prize winner deal a bit puzzling?...
I'm not really "mad per say-- I just don't understand what he's done to deserve the award...

Sh-sh-sh-SHOWCASE!
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've made a real post-- sorry. School DOES take priority over blogging. :) but I have an ANNOUNCEMENT!
For those who don't know, I played some of my originals in the YMAD benefit concert Mark Macey and Eded Rabdeau (sp?) put on. I didn't know if people would like the stuff, but I did it anyway. I've now gotten e-mails, thank you cards, phone calls, and texts asking when my next performance is and why I don't play more! I can't believe it! I was actually hesitant about even performing in the first place, but now I'm SO happy I did!
I'm playing at a ward party a week from Wed, which will be great fun, but THEN I'm having a showcase in July! I will sing probably four numbers I've worked on with my teacher, a Norah song (to add some style you know? ;))probably two of my own songs, and come what may from Moulin Rouge with a guy from school. I might put a few more in there somewhere but that's the rough outline right now. Come one come all! It won't cost any money to get in or anything, but I will have a basket by the door at the end excepting donations that I'll give to Eden or Mark for their YMAD trip. I'll post again with all the information of exactly when, where, and all that jazz.
I'm excited! Hope you can all make it!
Peace out chubs :)

Seriously..??
Seriously....
Sometimes teachers drive me crazy.
Especially when they start yelling at you when you didn't do anything.
I'm still shaken up from this morning
