We the People

We got 2nd place at the state competition so no trip to DC for us. It sucked. Really, really bad. hahahah. I'm such a sore loser.

I hate losing. When I want to win, like I HAVE to win.
I didn't think we were gonna win before but it came down to the competition day and we were doing better than I expected so we all got hope again.
Anyways, I had to be in two units because we were short a person.

For Unit Two the main questions was "How Did the Framers Create the Constitution?" and for Unit Three it was "How Has the Constitution Been Changed to Further the Ideals Contained in the Declaration of Independence?"
Putting in so much work makes it worse to lose.
Oh well. We had fun at the competition I guess. We are still way better looking than the ugly kids from Mililani. hahahahaha. Bitter much?
You know what I think is sketchy? Usually the state tournament is at a Univeristy. But it was at Mililani this time. and oh my gosh. millilani wins for the first time ever. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I hope they all get amnesia. hahhahh

The whole team.

Christmas Break and New Years

Working at marconi

This break was cool. Jeremy came home and we worked alot. haha We went kayaking once that was cool. On New Years Eve we had the Ortizs and Stewart and Malia over for a BBQ. It was fun we sang some songs with stews guitar and played this game called balderdash that was really funny. AFter everyone went home me and Jeremy went to go hangout with some friends. Close to midnight we drove around and found a house that had lots of fireworks. It was crazy they had atleast 20 of those illegal ariel ones. hahah. It was a good house to be at.

Masters of the grill! hahah

Everyoneish

Me, Auntie Susan, Matt, Uncle Ralph, Jeremy

Watching fireworks with the leopard print SNUGGIE! hahaha

Kayaking in front of the Chocolate House.

New Moon

So I'm not really much of a Twilight fan but I somehow found myself at the midnight premiere of New Moon with ten twilight obsessed girls and 6 guys who really had no idea why there were there either. The movie was alright. haha kinda lame except for that hot indian kid and his body. There were some intense fans there I felt bad for them and their pathetic lives. hahahaha jk taht was mean.
There were alot more men at the premiere than I expected. I categorized them into four groups: 1. Men who had been dragged by their girlfriends.
2. Guys who had been dragged by their friends who had been dragged by their girlfriends so they wouldnt be the only ones not screaming.
3. Gay men.
4. Guys who were trying to pick up chicks.

Hilarious SNL clip:
All the ones on youtube keep getting taken down for copyright infringement. hahah so here it is on hulu.

Thanksgiving Day

Yay. Fun fun.

Thanksgiving grub

Thanksgiving was exuberantly traditional at the James house this year. I pressure washed the house, risking my life atop the scaffolding. haha We were hungry so I put on some surfah slippers to appear decent for Thanksgiving lunch. We took a drive down to McDonalds and got a burger and some large fires. We worked some more and after I watched TV. Thanksgiving dinner was chili and rice. hahahah yeahhhh i liked it anyway.

Sadies.

So i decided to go to sadies this year becasue ive never gone and its my senior year so i figured it could be alright. It was my second kahuku dance for the my whole intermediate and high school career. I brought this kid kyle. He is basically the shyest child you will ever meet in your life. hahah seriously.
I wrote and illustrated him a story which basically threatned him to come to me. hahahah I had my friend josh deliver it to his classroom. which probably embarassed him to death. haha Anyways he said yes so we went tp sadies. and it was a lame becasue they played crappy songs. haahaha oh well i tried to participate in a school activity.

Giving Blood for the First Time

We were excited to show off our bandages. hahaha

There was a blood drive at school on Tuesday so I signed up to donate when i heard about it a few weeks before. I was sort of nervous to give blood becasue one of my friends fainted last year. hahah So I went out to that bloodmobile at my appointment time and waited outside until I was called in. I was interviewed and they asked me questions like if I had ever had sex with someone with AIDS. hahah, luckily I passed.
I was seated on a bed and next to me was my friend Nehoa. He made me super nervous becasue he almost passed out and was getting all dizzy and had to stop early. I was like ahhhh. My nurse was this super funny tita so it was cool. The needle was HUGE! hahah holy crap. I didnt look while she was putting it in but i looked after and it looked really big. I wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be. It didnt even really hurt. I was glad.
Giving blood was a cool experience. Dad always gives blood so I guess that made me want to give blood when I could too. Ive had a lot of friends who've gotten into accidents and stuff like that and they've needed blood so I'm glad people donated then and saved their lives. You never know when your going to need blood I guess.

Hallowen

So there's me as the skeleton in the middle. hahah I didnt even know i took a picture with them but i saw it on my friends facebook later.

So Halloween was cool. The night before Halloween I worked at the Haunted Lagoon. I was dressed up as a skeleton and I just had to take pictures with people. I made little kids cry it was kind of funny but I felt bad. Dog the Bounty Hunter came. That was cool but he wasn't even all dressed up, he was wearing like normal people clothes. hahah

Hippie and a Nerd

After that finished a few of us went to the dance. I never brought my camera cause I was all paranoid about my crap getting stolen becasue my of how my phone and money got stolen. If I get them from other people I'll post them becasue there are some funny ones I took with this guy dressed as a Teletubbie. I like BYU dances better, especially their Halloween ones cause then theyre arent any girls whose use dressing up as an excuse to be skanks. hahahah
