Today I took a road trip with brink and her mom. We went to a book signing, and to see Dom! I miss her so so much! it was amazing to see her, and her fam! :)

They don't really currr...

Grad is over. Done. Bye bye Seniors.

Senior Sunrise...
This was just a beautiful mess. It was a mix up of emotion, as well as location. I loved every moment of it.

1. We first planned on going to the lake. No one checked to see if minors could camp at the lake. We couldn't...
2. Next we told people to go to red cliffs, near leeds. We for some reason that I cannot remember couldn't do it there...
3. We moved everyone to leeds, and had the idea of having it in caity's corral, but her dad said no... and I completely understand why haha.
4. then qwe moved it to babylon... up the street in leeds, and the cops came and said something about tortoise territory... o we left there.
   
5. by this time people were pretty pissed... everyone just went out to warner valley and hung there all night.
   

Half of the fun of S.S. was finding it! once we got there... it was kinda booooooring... but whateves. I'm a senior! so FLIPA BIH! as smashley would say. :)

Tell me I'm a wreck.

:Attention All:

This summer is all about change.
Deal with it. ♥

• I have a hard cast.
  
• It's blue.
  
• It goes all the way up past my elbow.
• It's waterproof.
  
• When I hold my arm straight it looks like I'm deformed.
  
• I can itch it with a wooden skewer.
• I can swim and take showers.
• I hate it when people write on it.
  
• I keep trying to pull my arm out of my cast.
  
• It feels a lot better, and I've convinced myself that I'm better.
• It doesn't hurt when I hit it on something... Including people.
• If anyone tried to kidnap me, I would use it as a weapon.
  
• I am super self conscious about it.
• I hate it when people ask me what I did to my arm, and another person near by answers for me.
  
• I try to avoid telling people the story.
• I typed a whole paper with my broken arm.
• I hate it when my clothes don't match my cast.
• I don't like it when people touch my arm.
  
• My parents still won't let me drive...

Eat it up.

A true friend has the guts to tell you when you're doing something wrong. Not because they want to make you feel bad, but because they want you to be come a better person from it.

"Welcome to the real world. " He said to me... condescendingly.

Invisible?

No Regrets.

This week I've been doing things that I'm always too afraid to do.
This week I've done things, just for the sake of doing them.
This week I've been living like I wish I could always live... with No Regrets.

I have no regrets whatsoever from this past week. I'm doing what I want to do, no matter what anyone else says. I'm proving to myself that I'm actually as brave, and strong as I say I am.

No regrets... just LIVE.

Pray for Abby.

I know I'm the last one to make this post, but I need to make it.

Everyone please pray for the Doman Family. Their youngest sister Abby has been having some very serious medical problems over the past few days. Please keep them in your prayers and thoughts. It would be much appreciated.

The Domans are some of the most amazing people I know. If you are a friend, or are interested in learning more about Abby, you can click the link below.

When it rains....

...It pours.

Today just wasn't a very good day, for a lot of reasons. So many bad things are happening to my friends, and just... everyone... I just want it to stop. Everyone who has been hurt in the past couple of weeks... no matter what kind of hurt, know that I love you, and you can come to me for anything.

♥/ Nichole

Five billion things at once.

So many things have been happening lately, and I just don't have the time, or the fingers to type them... so here's 5 billion in one. ♥

Broken Arm : I'm used to it... people come up to me every day asking about my injury, and I'm kinda sick of it... blahh dee blahh yes, I know you are super sad that I broke my arm, but let's move on. P.s. It's still way inconvenient... but I'm getting used to my crippled-ness.

Caity: Caity always posts about how much she looks up to me, but I never tell you about how much I look up to her! Cait is so gr8! Tonight at the awards ceremony she got a ton of awards! Great job Caity! I'm sooo proud of you!

Swearing in: Tonight, we were sworn in as the new exec. council! oh my heck! WE ARE THE NEW EXEC! how scary?? We have some big shoes to fill...

Skype: I love Skype so much. It was one of the greatest things ever invented!

A.P. Test: I take it tomorrow... so not ready. Thanks for helping me study Chandler!

Pirates of the Caribbean: A few of us are going to the midnight showing on Friday! so stoked!

Cheapskate: I asked someone today... but they haven't said yes yet... So I won't say who. :)

Photog.: I miss it. I can barely hold my camera up, let alone focus it... I love manual focus, and now I'm stuck with auto....

Violin: I miss this too... but not as much... haha.

Doman: she is getting surgery tomorrow... AGAIN! Good luck Dom!

Graduation: Already trying to fight back the tears...

When I grow up...

Careers are difficult to choose... especially if it's difficult for you to choose easy things like what to eat for breakfast... The whole time growing up, I thought I knew what I wanted to be. I had my mind made up at four years old that I would be an architect. Ohhhhhh boy do I look back at myself and laugh...

This is a vague History of the things I have wanted to be when I grow up...

• Architect (4-13)
  
• Radiologist (13-16)
  
• Pediatrician (13-16)
  
• Photographer (16-17)
  
• Plant nursery owner [my newest idea.] (Today...)
  

I have come to the conclusion that... I don't need to write my conclusion yet! I am probably going to change my mind 80 more times, not counting while I'm studying my major! I hate change... therefore when I decide on something I don't want to change it! I'm done crossing out possibilities on my list. :)

Tonight was gr8.

Doman, Josh, Chandler, and I johned it up at Iceberg, then we payed a visit to the witch ball, then we went to the pond and talked. It was a very... somber night.


:: facts ::

• Today is Josh's birthday.
• I hate my new phone.
• I'm painting my thumb green when I get my cast.
• Drive Inn has two n's.
• Iceberg's order number system starts over at 100.
• Dry ice is a drug.
• I blame everything on my arm. ("sorry, I didn't hear you. My arm is broken.")
• I like to be different.
• I want to live to be 100.

Also.... This is for Dom, Josh, and Chan.



I loved everything about tonight, and I could blog for hours, and hours... but I have to get up early... so goodnight blog-stalks.

Don't Holler at not being able to type.
Don't Holler at math finals...

Ask me how I'm doing. I dare you.

So... This is the small addition to my arm. soooo fun, right? ha... It's okay:) I'm really not mad... I don't even have to try to give someone a thumbs up! It's already done for me haha.

Yesterday when I went to the doctor He took new X-rays, and found that my Scaphoid (skype :) ) bone is broken, as I posted yesterday. He told me that because my wrist is now broken... he had to immobilize my thumb, and my cast will have to go up past my elbow. I'm really bummed about the length of my cast... but at least I don't need surgery. I'll take a two month recovery over a six month recovery any day!

Also... I want to make note about how amazing my friends are!! I love all of my friends so so much! Doman is broken as well, and we've become Crippled Best friends. haha Seriously I have ditched school twice to go hang out with her at her house. so not mad.

Well... this is my broken arm spiel. Other than the fact that I carry around a useless limb all day, Life is pretty much the same :) I also think I'm getting a waterproof cast (halleluiah!) So that I can swim this summer. :)

Temple walk & talk.

This is soooo late. But i need to post it. This is a photo from when all of us BH 1st Young women walked to the temple. It was so much fun, and I am planning on doing it again!

Stupid Scaphoid.

Anyone interested in learning about my Skype bone? It's yet another little bone that is broken in my hand. It connects my thumb to my arm. Now my thumb is in permanent thumbs up position. It's gr8.

Also... my cast has to be past my elbow. Flip my lid.

Keep your eye on your goal.

Control freak + Broken Arm = Mass Chaos

So I never realized how big of a control freak I really am until this weekend. I am a very Independent person, and i do not like asking for, or getting help. This stupid broken Arm has proved to be my biggest feat yet.

Things I have learned to do with one hand

• open pill bottles
• get dressed
• shower
• hang up clothes
• fold blankets
• clean my room
• type (not well)

Things I cannot do...

• straighten my hair
• write (believe it or not... you do need your left hand for writing. even if you are right handed...)
• put my hair in a pony tail
• wear cardigans :(((((((((( this is possibly the saddest thing on this list.
• make bracelets :(
• wrap presents

there are a lot more things i could add to BOTH lists... but i want to keep the can's bigger than the can'ts list.

Tonight I tried having my sister straighten my hair... it was a disaster. no one can straighten my hair like I can. It drove me INSANE and I had a sour face on the whole time. I feel really bad, because she was only trying to help... but I wanted to do it myself soooooooo badly!

I think I know a couple of things that I'm supposed to learn from this stupid broken arm...

Things to learn

1. I really am not invincible.
2. I need to be open to help from others.
3. I need to learn Patience. (there is nothing more annoying than waiting for an itch from inside your cast to go away... I have one right now and I am going INSANE!)

I am bound and determined to learn to do everything that I used to be able to do.

P.s. I kinda cheated, and unwrapped most of my cast (but i wrapped it back... it's still the soft one...) my arm is soooooooooooooooooo bruised. I haven't decided whether I think it's cool, or completely disgusting yet... haha.

My mom is better than your mom...

This is my mom!
Today is my mom's Happy Mothers Day!

My Mom:

• gave me life
• raised me
• gave me a playmate (emily) ... debatable
• takes me to school
• makes me dinner
• helps me when i'm sick
• takes care of my broken arm
• etc

My mother is the gr8est mom ever!

Happy Mothers Day Mom!!!

Some People. Some Things.

Some people just make you want to hit them upside the head with your cast.

Some things could have been avoided so you didn't get a cast in the first place, and I'll probs drive myself crazy thinking about them. Time travel, anyone?

Casted Arm Bucket List...

• climb a ladder
• drive at least two miles
• make a bracelet for my cast (how posh!)
• have someone famous sign my arm...
• do a cartwheel
• make up funny stories to tell people, about how i got my injury... i.e. shark bite.
• take an amazing photo with one arm
• keep my hospital bracelet on the whole time i have my cast
• paint my fingernails...?
• draw a picture one handedly
• finish the chandler/josh/nicole movie list
• ride a horse with caity
• go to cheapskate
• conquer my new found fear of the high school stage

You're just gr8.

Don't ever forget it!

690♥

"fall" into orchestra.

things i have learned from having a broken arm....

1. people just might start hilarious rumors about you.
2. your life will be ruined for a short period of time.
3. you won't be able to use capitol letters when typing (driving me nutzo)
   
4. people will bring you tons of stuff!
5. you will learn just how good your friends are... mine are the gr8est :)
6. you just might become the laughing stock of the school.
7. you are not invincible. (largest realization.)
8. it is important to remain optimistic.
9. people will obviously hear your name, and what happened to you, at school, then they'll add you on facebook to find out who you really are.
10. you will be bored out of your mind 90% of the time.
    

Battle wound :)

I got in a fight with a bouquet of flowers, & the high school stage.

I lost.

Who are you when I'm not looking?

Even when life seems like it's falling apart, Heavenly Father sends you a sign that he loves you, and everything will be okay.

The land of Ketchutopia.

My Language Arts teacher gave our class the assignment to come up with a short story that resembles the book Fahrenheit 451, in that it includes the element of technology and future possibilities of society. I wrote my story... and I didn't do the best job ever. I had three ideas that I wanted to run with, and this is the one that stuck. I wish I would have had more time, because I could have made a really BOSS story... but It's alright. :)

Anyways... the point is, through writing this story, I started to think about Elementary school.... In fourth grade, when I moved to Bloomington Hills, I got to go to a brand new school, and make brand new friends. It was the only time in my whole life that I've ever moved, and I'm so happy that we did. I made great friends, and I was quite a creative little soul!

I wrote a story called "Ketchutopia". It was about my friend Delon, who LOVED Ketchup. He would put Ketchup on ANYTHING. He said he would even eat it with Ice cream... (I never witnessed this). My story included Delon, as "King Leir" a kid named Lane as "Sir Burgess" and my friend Peyton as "Lady Peyton". It also had a talking ketchup bottle...

I wish I could find the story, so that I could post it for you to read, but I can't. :( I'm pretty sure that I could re-write it, because I remember everything that happens. There is an election for kind of Ketchutopia, a brand new territory on some continent on the world... There was a scandal in which Lady Peyton and Sir Burgess fixed the election so that Sir Burgess would win, and King Leir would lose. Lady Ketchup Bottle was King Liers wife... and she found out about the scandal, and had Lady Peyton and Sir Burgess arrested. King Lier came out on top... and in the end, he was so excited that he accidentally drank his wife! (Because she was ketchup....?)

This is a really long post... and I'll be surprised if anyone reads it. I guess that the point of this post was to let everyone know that through writing my story about the future, and the possibilities of the downfall of society, I realized that It's already happened to me. I think that I forgot how to be creative... I mean I can take boss photographs... but they're images. I didn't come up with them. Heavenly Father put things there for me to capture their beauty. In writing creative stories like this, you can really grasp how creative your mind is.... I used to be REALLY creative... I mean... a land called Ketchutopia? A talking Ketchup bottle? Yeah... I was good. I think as time has gone on, and I've shoved so much knowledge into my mind, I've gotten lazy. I listen to all of the things people tell me to think, but I don't come up with things to think on my own.

None of this probably makes any sense to anyone but me... because I'm really good at not making sense. But I thought I would share anyway. :)

Family: It's about... time.

Summer Bucket List

Chantry the Pantry created, what I interpreted to be, a Summertime Bucket list. :) It was a good idea, and Ms. May says that you can steal ideas as long as you make them your own, so I've been ALL about the stealing of ideas lately. :) Here's my version... of a Summer Bucket List.

Topic: Embarrassing traits.

Everyone has them.
Things about yourself that you think make other people find you AWK!

Lately, I've been thinking about all of the embarrassing qualities that I have, and how I could change them. THEN... I got smart. Why would you change yourself? Embarrassing things are some of the qualities that make you... you!

I have a friend who always teases me about some of the weird quirks that I have... When I realize that I have these quirks, sometimes I try and refrain from doing them... i.e. playing with my hair, and rephrasing things that have already been explained to me "So what you're telling me is...".

The point is.... the weird/annoying/embarrassing things that we do, make us who we are! And you shouldn't ever try and change them... for any reason. :)

State Solo & Ensemble

^Jess and I brought Scooters to ride around on... because last year we had to walk everywhere, and that was just no good.
^Brandee and Ty came to see us!! It was sooo gr8! :)
^ Tian, Jess, and I had a fun photoshoot... thanks Jordan. :) hahah
^Oh yeah... this is what we went up there for. hahahah. Almost forgot.
^This is us watching Kam work out.


So I was looking through my State S&E photos... and I had to decide on five of them that defined the WHOLE trip... to upload. (I don't want 8,000 pictures on one post.) These were the ones I chose! State this year was SO much fun! I don't know why I was so worried about being sick... I barely remembered that I was sick the whole time! I had so much fun and I wish every weekend were like this! We have sooo many inside jokes now, and I made friends with people that I barely knew before! I loved state, and I hope we make it next year! :)
