"When I was a young boy, my mother said to me..."
and she probably lives in Tahiti."
Whoa, sorry for not updating last Wednesday. It's harder than I thought it would be... and there was no Worldviews or PATH last week because of Labor Day

Anyway so I did go to Acteens on Wednesday, and it doesn't sound as hard as it did last year, so I should be able to handle it. We're gonna help out with these group that helps out pregnant women in bad situations which, and I'm not trying to sound like I'm mocking it or anything, sounds fun. I like helping people (sorry, it's in my nature), and we get to put together little gift baskets with diapers and baby clothes once a month. And this year, we're only attempting to do 8 challenges instead of the 16 we chose last year. And I lot of them sound pretty fun, so I'm praying that it all goes well.
Lets see, I have a bad short term memory... so did anything big happen? Oh yeah...
Chelsea has a boyfriend.
It seems werid saying that, cause it's (just) Josh, and I've known him for like, 2 years, and he's been around a lot recently, so it's not that much of a difference. But my parents aren't like, taking it badly or anything. They know him really well (him and my mom are like, facebook BFFs) and he's a "good kid."
So yeah, nothing's really changed...
Not much happened on Friday or Saturday... so let's cut to the chase.
Sunday:
I woke up around 7, cause I had set the alarm clock across the room, so I had to get up to turn it off. Sadly, I got back in bed afterward, and feel back asleep. So my dad came into my room 5 minutes before Sunday School started, telling me to wake up. He, however, has no idea how long it can take for a teenage girl to get ready. It's not like I'm prissy or anything, it just takes a while, cause I actually use soap.
So anyways I missed the first hour, which is my Sunday School, but I went second hour anyway, cause my whole family was going and I normally help out with kids that hour. Beth put me in the room with the kids that me and Sedona had last year, which is a really fun group, cause they're at the age where it's still fun to have the big kids come in and play with you, and they're can talk back to you. Not in a rude way, in a "that fish is a messy eater" way.
It was me, and Emily Montgomery, and no adult ever came in, so we basically just played the whole time, which is fine by me. We all fed the guppies they keep in the class room, and built trains and played store. I think everyone should spend an hour a week playing cars with 3 year olds. It really gives you a different perspective on the world. I showed Dylan how to do that lawnmower walk (you know, when one person walks with their hands while someone else holds their legs), which was a bad idea, cause he doesn't get tired like, ever. So I let him down, and told him a was out of steam and couldn't go anymore. He ran off to a table by the door, grabbed some air and came running back. Holding out his empty hand, he grinned and told me, "I got you some steam!"
No adult ever thinks about it that way, but kids take everything literally, so you apparently have to watch what you say around them.After church, we grabbed some pizza and went home. I finished my biology, and watched Gilmore girls until I remembered that choir was kicking-off that night. Chelsea came in my room that second to tell me that we should go. Neither of us were sure what time it started, so we got Mommy to check. It had already been going on for a half and hour, so we ran out the door to get to church. When we got there, we had to fill out sheets with all our personal information (as if they don't already have it) and find a table. I snuck up behind Sedona, scared the living-daylights out of her (it was hilarious) and squeezed in between her and Elise. This year for choir they're combining middle and high school, which all the highschoolers are against, cause it used to be a really cool thing to go on the high school mission trip, something people waited for. Sedona really hates the 6th graders, though I really don't know why... I mean, I get it too, they're obnoxious... and they're invading the sactity of high school mission trip but... oh wait, I hate them too

After that was over, I had made quite indefnant plans to invited Elise and Sedona over to watch the Video Music Awards on MTV, cause those things are always funner with friends. But they didn't really know about it, so after calls to parents, and more calls to parents, we all ended up at our house, on my bed, talking. I love them

Anyways the VMAs themselves weren't very good. Interesting yes. But good, no. We watched an hour of people showing up on the red carpet, and "Sway" talking to people on the phone from in a hellicopter. We were all starving, and my mother was at the grocery store, so we (like good teenagers) raided the pantry for food (church cookies, waffles, etc.). When the VMAs actually started, the host was this annoying British guy, with weird hair, who made fun of the Jonas Brothers' (who were there) and their True Love Waits rings. It was harsh.
And there wasn't enough music. Just Lil Wayne's pants almost falling off, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry showing up in the same car (creepy) and T Pain riding on a elephant.
But Shia LeBouf was there, and that made it better.
Love,
Chloe Camille
