Happy late Easter!

Hope everyone had a good Easter weekend! I know I did. :) Nothing but relaxing at home. I even watched a bit of General Confrence on Sunday. And then, for some odd reason that I don't really know, I started remembering bits and piece of The Prince of Egypt. I used to watch that movie ALL the time as a kid. I absolutely loved it. However, so many years had passed that I honestly didn't know what happened in the movie (well... besided what happens in the Bible. :P) So... I got onto YouTube and found someone who had posted the entire movie in 11 parts. So... I sat down and watched the entire thing. :) And now I remember why I loved that movie so much growing up. It's just too bad that we don't actually own it, because then I could watch it from a more comfortable place than my uncomfortable computer chair.

Anyway... nothing else really new. Besides the fact that I changed the Song of the Week earl.y :P

You see, I FINALLY got enough money to go buy myself a nice little present... Danny Gokey's CD "My Best Days," which was released a month ago. I have now fallen in love once again with this guy's voice! :) Then again, I never fell out of love... but you get my point.

I even think that I talked about Danny in some of my blog posts while he was on Idol... yeah, they're there.

Anyway... the new song of the week is "I Still Believe" from the previously said album by the previously said man. It's a really nice, even insperational song. I'm really happy with it. :)

Just be prepared for some more Gokey coming up in the Song of the Week for the next few months. ;)

That's all for now! ♥

American Idol has let me down.

Yes, it's true. American Idol has officially let me down.

On Tuesday, the top three performed. For those of you who have been living under a rock, the top three is Danny Gokey (♥ ♥ ♥), Kris Allen, and Adam Lambert (Ick). Danny sang "Dance Little Sister" and "You Are So Beautiful." Kris sang "Apologize" and "Heartless" (which, let's be honest, has made me start to like him, too. He did amazing).

On Wednesday, Danny got voted off. It was very depressing. And disappointing. I wanted him to at least make it to the top two. Really, I was hoping it would be him and Kris, though of course I knew that was never going to happen.

But, whatever.

He's still my American Idol. ;)

But anyway, now Kris is my last hope. His last performance made me really like him, so if he wins, Idol will have maken it up to me. If Adam wins... well, Idol will have officially let me down. And there will be no way for them to make it up to me. Unless... the person I like next season wins. :)

Seriously, though. For the past two seasons, my favorite contestant has made it so close to winning, but ultimately lose. Last season: David Archuleta. This season: Danny Gokey. Next season: Who knows? Hopefully they'll win. :)

But yeah. Song of the week is "Dance Little Sister." Very fun song. Makes you feel like, um, dancing. :)

Okay. Moving on.

School gets out in... thireen or so days. That's... nine school days left.

Um. What else? I made it into Musical Theatre. :D I'm really excited. Seriously, you have no idea. ;)

But yeah. I guess that's all... so yeah.

Bye!!

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!

Haha. Has anyone heard that song? "Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes..." No? Yes? I've only heard it a few times, on Ella Enchanted, I believe. :P But I have it stuck in my head, and it fits today's post perfectly.

Ah. Changes. What's changed, you may ask?

Wellll...

1) I cut my hair. Not only is it a bit shorter, but I now have sweep bangs.

2) I added a "Song of the Week" at the top of the column to your right. I suggest you find a way to listen to the songs I put there, because I love all of them (or else they wouldn't be the "Song of the Week"). Or at least look up the lyrics or something, kay? I love my songs, and I like to share them. :)

3) I GOT CONTACTS!!! Bye-bye glasses. :) I didn't wear my contacts to school today, because I'm still getting use to them (getting them in and out is a pain). But on Tuesday, when I go back to school, I shall be glasses-less!

So, yeah. Those are my top three changes. :)


Let's see. Anything new?

YES!

I found out what will be the name of my niece (see post below). She'll be born in about three months, and I'm very excited. :) Anyway, her name is going to be Alexa Jade. Isn't it cute? Not exatly my taste, but I will admit it's cute. :) And it's starting to grow on me.

Hm. What else?

Oh. This Wednesday I have a concert. Girl's Night Out. It's going to be so much fun. :) And it will also be part benifit concert for someone in need. Most likely this little three-year-old boy with a brain tumor.

Annndddd... yesterday, three of my friends and I all walked home from school. My friend Ashley's birthday is on Sunday (tomorrow), so us other three (Me, Holly, Kenzie) came up with a devious plan. >:)

So, it's kind of a tradition for us to all decorate each other's rooms for their birthday, even though none of us want it done to our own rooms. If you read my posts in November, you'd know all about when they decorated my room.

So, anyway, here's what happened:

So, we're walking home. Ashley's house is closest, so she'll be our first stop. She says how it's okay, we don't have to walk all the way to her house, but we insist. When we get there, Ashley says she needs to get her backpack out of her sister's car (her sister came to pick Ashley's brother up from school, so Ashley just put her backpack in the car so she wouldn't have to carry it home). While she goes to the car, Holly and Kenzie run to her front door. Ashley gets a bit annoyed, but doesn't stop them. I stay with her, so she won't get suspicious. When we get inside, Holly and Kenzie have already explained everything to Ashley's dad and step-mom and are already shutting the door to Ashley's room behind them. Ashley still doesn't really get what's going on and says, "Please, stay out of my room! It's a mess!" Her dad is laughing as Ashley tries to push past him to open the door, which has been locked by Holly. And then, it finally dawns on Ashley that Holly and Makenzie are decorating her room for her coming birthday. She looks at me with a look of priceless loathing (which will hopefully be gone by Tuesday. :P), and starts beating on her door. Her dad looks at me and goes, "Want me to hold her back so you can get in and help them decorate?" Of course, I say yes. So, a few moments later, I am inside Ashley's room and Ashley is screaming at me. :)

We decorate her room, and finally let Ashley inside. She's pretending to be mad, but you can tell that she absolutely loves it. At least, that's what I interpreted her look as. ;)

So, yeah. It was way fun. :D
Hm. I wonder who's next on our decorating list out of the four of us.... ah yes. Kenzie, August 2nd. And then Marie on August 31st. Muhaha. >:)

So, yeah, I guess that's all. I have to go babysit in about twenty minutes, so BYE! :)

David Archuleta CD

Let me tell you something. My friend Ashley is so nice. :) I've been bugging her for the past week if I could borrow her David Archuleta CD. And guess what she did. She lent it to me for the weekend! :)

Right now I'm listening to Your Eyes Don't Lie. It's okay so far. Not my favorite, though. My favorites are probably Crush (which isn't new), Angels (also not new), and Touch My Hand (New!).

Can't let the music stop
Can't let this feeling end
Cause if I do it will all be over
I'll never see you again

Can't let the music stop
Until I touch your hand
Cause if I do it will all be over
I'll never get the chance again
I'll never get the chance again

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm listening to Touch My Hand again. The lyrics and stuff are okay, but I REALLY love the music. No idea why. I suggest you listen to the song.

Anyway, I think that's all. :)

Woah. History.

Weee. Changed the layout. It probably won't stay this way for very long, this is just what I like for right now. I'll probably change it within the week, though.

Anyway.

Okay. I guess my PE teacher was right. We did witness history last night. Weird.

We now have President-Elect Obama (soon to be President Obama). Wow.
Now, living in one of the most republican states in America, all I heard today was, "Oh no! Obama won." And I was just thinking, "Well, he won't be that bad. It's not the end of the world." Personally, I liked both candidates just the same. They both have their pros and cons. Hopefully Obama can get us out of the mess our country's in.

Okay. Enough with the political talk.

I've been listening to my new CD a lot. Mostly on my iPod, though, since I put the CD on my iTunes, then put my favorite songs on my iPod. And my mom took the CD to work with her to listen to it. So I was like, "Okay... You do that." But now I have "Leave Out All the Rest" stuck in my head. Which is fine with me.

I've been in kind of a bad mood today. No clue why. To add to the bad-moodness, Mr. Brooks wouldn't really listen to anything I had to say during class. When he did, he didn't really give me the information I wanted. So I eventually gave up and wrote on the whiteboard with AC (friend in that class). I wrote, "November 21=Magical Day. (My birthday and Twilight movie)." And then AC came along and wrote, "Chantel loves Jasper Cullen." And so I wrote next to it, "Shut up, AC." And he just laughed at me. >:(

By the way, ONLY 15 MORE DAYS!

And my friends Holly and Marie were fighting. So I told Marie, "You better make up with her by November 21st, or else. That's your deadline. I'm serious." And so she went over to Holly and made up! Call me the peace maker. Okay, I usually cause the fights, but I can end them when I want to, too.

By the way, I'm listening to "I Caught Myself" by Paramore on the Twilight soundrack. Just so you know. ;) It's also a good song. The Linkin Park one's still my favorite, though. This one's my second favorite.
