Enough

I'm here thinking about you again
My feelings confused
Have I been misused?
I know you burn through...
What's my heart to do?

These words echoe through my head
Not enough
Not enough
Despite all those things you said
Not enough
Not enough
I know part of me is right
Not enough
Not enough
Couldn't keep you holding me tight
Not enough
Not enough

When ever I see a perfect moment
I ponder reflection
And then your rejection
That wall was protection
For my easy affection

These words echoe through my head
Not enough
Not enough
Despite all those things you said
Not enough
Not enough
I know part of me is right
Not enough
Not enough
Couldn't keep you holding me tight
Not enough
Not enough

I guess you simply lost interest
That's why these sad words insist
Is there something I missed?
What happened to that blind bliss?

That's it.
The bliss was blind
My heart is kind
The answer find
Still, feelings entwined

Enough.
I'll find friendships anew
And happiness too
My head knows what to do
Will my heart follow through?

A new thought rips asunder my flaw
I'm more
More than enough
Despite all those things I saw
I'm more
More than enough
I don't wish you here tonight
I'm more
More than enough
The Spirit and friends hold me tight
I'm more
More than enough

Enough to keep my smile on
Enough to shoo my doubts, they're gone
Enough to still have happiness
Even find that peaceful bliss

These words echoe through my head
Not enough
Not enough
Despite all those things you said
Not enough
No-
Enough.
Enough.
This is enough
I'm more
More than enough.

To the jelly.

The Day of the Wannabe Mermaids

Oh. So, yesterday was The Day of the Iron Turtle.. but we were traveling most of the day so there's not much to say about it. Well kinda. I drove for about 2 hours, but it was all stop go traffic. Easy and boring. AND it's so so funny how dumb people are when all three lanes are going slow. Every space they see they move into it... cause they think that will get them going faster. Really, people? So I left a cushion of space at all times, for all the ding dongs. I gave them all names too, based on either their license plate or some decoration on their car. But most of them we just called DoDo [like the bird, pronounced Doe-Doe. Refer to the Willoughby's.. we listened to that book on tape while traveling. It made me laugh! Good story, weird, but good :)]
Once we got to Danny's we had a very large spaghetti dinner.. then later went to bed.

Now for TODAY! SOOOO FUN! =D
We went to the beach. In the WINTER!! It was like 60 degrees today. So so so nice! It was funny to see people wearing coats and boots.. some even LEATHER coats... you California people don't even know what COLD means. Haha jk some of them really do. Seriously though. Leather. In 60 degree weather?? And BOOTS! Hahaha.
The Muffin and I played in the water. It was so great! I couldn't stop singing "I LOVE the ocean! I LOVE California!!" Because I do. It was amazing. :)
We made another SuperSister video. Yeah a CALIFORNIA ADDITION!!! It was way awesomeness.. like WAY awesomeness... you all should be really looking forward to it, it's.. amazing. :) We are total spaz's I love it :)
We saw a couple really strange things at the beach. Two more memorable ones..
Strangeness #1: The dancing man. He had some old music with a good beat on.. and was dancing. He did the same basic move during the whole song, then changed what he was doing for a new song. People looked really confused at him. I know I was. The Muffin took videos, facebook! Haha :) OH! K, but he was just warming up. After maybe 15 minutes he started getting into it. His 'moves' became more.. interesting, and hilarious, and he did maybe two or three of them repeatedly for each song. The sleeper! Oh and don't forget to fluff the pillow.. now wake up... floss.. and so on and so forth. Holy fun! :D
Strangeness #2: The flock of gulls. Ok, so at the beach there are usually a lot of gulls, right? Well, randomly a huge flock of them came toward the boardwalk, strangeness.. then I noticed something even strangnessER. There was this guy.. and he had CAUGHT one! AH! He was holding it by it's wings and showing off how oh-look-at-me-I-can-catch-a-gull-and-withstand-it's-pecking he was. Emma kept saying "Let it go!" It was pretty cruel. Yeah, so those are the strangenesses.
Another big huge meal at Danny's... oh and we're making cookies. And apple pie. I got to ride in Danny's Corvett!!! Holy amazingness! Actually, it's a restored red Corvett Stingray. He restored it himself and is very proud of it. It's way cool.
Done blogging for now! More as these superawesome days continue :)

Origin of my Last Name :)

I don't know if this is complete, Lemons had to go. Here are his words:

alright then

It began on a dark night, so long ago we dont even know the year. But Other people do.

There was a man dressed in total black, and his eyes were golden. It was the dead of winter and every where you would go, it was covered with snow, and the man loved that sentence. for it rhymed.

but one day the man came upon a most peculiar sight. a sight that no man could even think aobut. Unless youve earned your stripes.

The only way to earn one's stripes is to either eat a ton of frosted flakes, or just be incredibly lucky.

so the sight he came upon, was so out of the ordinary that the man lost his pants that day.

while he was walking through Kansas

he saw a hippo of the floor, sun bathing in the middle of winter

the hippo was an odd color, and it was eating alot of stuff. Not food, stuff. which is quite a broad selection i know.

but the hippo was for some reason....yellow.

The man lost his pants and ran home, and began playing apples to apples, but he had an inspiration! he decided to make a game about colored hippos.

alright so he couldnt comprehend such hippos. when his game was almost complete, a hippo ate him in his sleep, for the legendary colored hippos were very secret to the world.

and the was a man in black next to him when it happened. So he ran to his moms house, where he found many things to behold

bye

Christmas #1!

So I get to have three Christmases this year. Yeah I feel pretty darn lucky! =D One at my mom's house before we go to Cali, one in Cali with my awesome extended fam, and then one with me padre once we get back! Amazingness!
Christmas #1. Small and beautiful :) Straightener, for one thing. Haha my hair is soft :) Awesome hat too.. one of those cool ones that has flaps over your ears.. and it has little fuzzy pom pom's on strings! K, that's just cool. :) I gave my sisters and my mom fun stuff too. Can you believe Mastermind asked for Mascara??? Well, for "playing" but she did. SOO I got her some. Haha :) I got The Muffin bright pink tights! Yeah I know, I'm amazing :) She picked them out. But still!
I need to go pack now. Yes, getting ready for Christmas number two already. Talk to you all later! :)

Dear Heart (again)

I write to you again as my name you seem to call
Remembering the line "If you could only tell me all"
Completely that you did not do, never told me if I really did fall
I now realize too, that order was a bit tall

Echoes of enchantment ringing in my ear
I declare "No regrets" for my friends to hear
And though it hurt a little, I did not shed a tear
Remembering too much is now my only fear

I promise I'm not angry, just a little bit confused
I know I've been replaced, and now should I feel used?
His thoughts and pleasent dreams I may have entered and amused
Soon will disappear this faint and short termed bruise

Half recognizing your song, my hearts plea
For his peace and smiles I find myself asking on my knees
Knowing now it's someone else who holds that special key
She's the one who makes him happy now, not me.

Dear heart, I feel as if I should one thing her entreat
Ask her to try always to keep his joy complete
And let her know not to worry, for him I will not compete.
My only hope for us now is that our friendship will get back on it's feet.

As I think about that day, I know those friends were heaven sent.
That night... I actually enjoyed, it was a time well spent
And only for a small moment did my emotions rent
Any thank you's I now give out are very strongly meant

Right now will be the hardest time, but someone else will come
Someone who will again make me shine, and cause my heart to hum
I will give him smiles, and my words he will strike dumb
But for now maybe a protection, for a while I may feel numb.

I've been trying to decide if I should remove this band
I can no longer call on you to comfort, or take my hand
Something like this, I was expecting, though it's not like it was planned
Now to prevent me from too much remembering,
I let go that gift, and in my world of pages it will land

Thinking on the lines I said when I was back to wishing
I felt a hint of what it would be if you I began *fully* missing
I guess I had prepared myself so you, my heart, could faster take wing
Now faith for a better life, and his *friendship* doth happiness bring

After these days stronger friendships come to me
Especially this one - To the jelly! =D

Thank you so much to Cl~, Sync, Lemons, Gordo, Mr. Smooth, and Jelly [E.S.]. I don't think you'll ever fully understand how much you helped. I love you all :)

VedySmot and the tales of Stripes

Created and told by VedySmot [An~]

Well, ya see... you're on a date with Tardy [VedoSmot's new name for JB] and you're driving on the highway.. and Cherry [A~] sees you. He's standing up on the exit ramp. He pulls out his pistol. He's pretty angry because he was on a date with you earlier that day. So he starts shooting people. And you're like "Oooooh no dude, you are not gonna mess up MY date with MY man." So you push Tardy's leg and you force him to stop the car. And you jump out in the middle of the highway, pull out your rifle, and blast off Cherry's head. And then! You go to jail.. prison.. whatever works for you. And Tardy being the sweet boy that he is, visits you every day. And brings you a rose, every day. For 25 years. When you get out, you get 500 dollars from VedySmot and VedySmot turns on "Open Arms" by Journey as you run in to Potatoe's open arms. Now, where is Tardy, you may ask? Well, he fell in love with your German cell mate, Helga. She has five teeth, they're gigantic.. and a gigantic mole with 10 hairs and blonde cornrolls.. plus she's like 7 feet and size 26. Aaaand they got married and moved to hm........ China and had 72 Asian children... adoption. So you get married to Potatoes and YOU live at the Arctic.. in Antartica.. and you have 1 child, 75 penguin children, 3 walrus', and 126 cats. Um..... and that all happens within a year of your um um um release. The end for now! Clap clap clap clap clap. :)

I love us :)

Dory's Story

Written by Stripes and The Queen... for Snyder's class.
This was SOOO fun! :D

A fish encased is found
From golden tomb we pound
Our tools do clinking sound
We find her there
After stories told
We went in search of gold
And now this character hold
Mem’ry half bare

The fish we found is Dory
She began to tell her story
In random spastic glory
And here’s her tale
She seemed to remember a search
Goggles on a perch
Then her memory did lurch
She spoke in whale

I can speak this way!
Exclaimed with a “Hey!”
Oh yeah! I swam away
I looked back
Ocean big enough?
Trying to act tough
It’s an obvious bluff
Mem’ry attack

A meeting with a shark
Balloons that made a spark
A chase, and now we part.
To the jelly!
Bouncing to and fro
I escaped, I know
Sea turtles say "Like woah!"
E.A.C!

Gliding very fast
Blurred shadows we did cast
Must say, it was a blast
We now shoot out
Encounter with the gulls
To safety, pelican pulls
Over our story mulls
And then a shout

Of our journey he’d heard
From another bird
Coincidence quite absurd
Exclaimed "right on!"
Closed window makes thunk sound
Water all around
Little Orange found
Something is wrong

In the dentist’s lair
Screams of “Fish in my hair!”
I and others stare
Tools flying.
Shrimp cleans the dirt
Such a little twirp
Now let’s not get hurt
A fish is dying?

Remembering dismay
As friend refused to stay
New mem'ries gone away
My mind a game
My emotions flow
Remembering? No.
Meet a new friend, Nemo.
"Nice name."

Marvin for Nemo is found
Then fish “Keep swimming!” do sound
Smiles all around
Friends anew
Of a new story, she told
How she got to the city of gold
Her memory wouldn’t unfold
“Do I know you?”

Back to "I wish"

I know it will be better this way
And I responded "so be it"
Who knows if there will come a day
(Though right now we may not see it)

When exactly what is here now may quit
It may come to an end
Wont we be glad, if right on through it
We can still call the other a friend?

The kind of friends we want to be
I'll be one you can count on, as I know you'll be for me

That wall I've spoken of is down, it's true
I'll clean up the rubble, make a clear path for you
This path will become my way too
I know as friends we'll make it through

What I feel for you has not changed
Only now, it has new perspective
I wouldn't say much has been rearranged
Back, now, to almost my original objective

"True friends", the only thing I did originally seek
Back when my feelings were guarded and meek
So now at the future I begin to peek
Though, to me, my exact feelings my heart refuses to speak

The Origin Of My [First] Name

written and told by - the amazing, one of a kind, absitively posilutely awesome Lemons =]

It'll clarify why popcorn is a leading product in your household.

It began hundreds of years ago. In fact, it began on 700 BC. There was a man. And he disliked butter. For he was Shark Boy. (That was for The Muffin if shes reading this)
and he had gingivitis. A doctor figured out he didn't like butter...so the doctor one day visisted his house. He knocked. Twice. But no one answered. Two answered.

"Hello!" asked the doctor. Shark Boy smiled and the doctor passed out. The boys gums were so red that his eyeballs looked white, when they were.

So shark boy looked at the doctor and licked his passed out face. Then he walked away. Into his living room in fact. He sat on his piano bench. In front of him there was not a piano. There was a large pancake he hung on the wall. He wanted to name the pancake. It was his greatest treasure. He slept with the butter that some day would go with the pancake, even though he didn't like butter.

And he was disgraced for that. In fact he was banned from two sates for it. Yes, the us was back in 700 BC. It died two years later,you'll see. James Madison never made up the Virginia Plan, it was already made. He didn't like butter either.

Anyway, Shark Boy stared at the pancake and realized he was missing syrup. So he went skipping down the sidewalk, as a crowd began to form around the unconscious man on the porch. He didn't seem to care though.
Anyway, as he was skipping, he realized it was Friday the 13. So he turned around, laughed, and stepped on a crack. And he realized he broke his mothers back, but he didn't care, she was a skeleton. So he kept skipping, and was hit by a car the next moment. So he woke up in a court session, where they were consulting his innocence while he was passed out. He objected his own attorney and was sent to jail. For 6 years.
During those six years he mourned for his pancake. He forgot to buy the syrup for it. He didn't want to eat a 6 year old pancake with butter, which he didn't like.

A guard walked up to him, 5 minutes after he was first in his prison cell. And the guard was like,"hey, wanna know how to escape?" Shark Boy turned and answered that that would be delicious. And the guard replied, "you cant." And shark boy passed out.

Meanwhile the doctor came back to life 3 days later and was still on the porch. No body cared he was there. So the doctor began to search Shark Boy's home. And saw the huge pancake. And said, holy gingivitis....ope, that's an oxymoron." And he walked in, and bit the pancake. he was so amazied at the taste, that he was exalted on high, as the manager of himself! Because he ate a pancake, he no longer need to live with his mom!! So he finished the pancake...
and he passed out...on the porch as he was leaving.
when he passed out shark boy woke up. He wanted his pancake really badly. So he bit through the jail bars, and walked home. The guards didn't care. He found the fat doctor on his porch. And ate him, to eat the pancake. The pancake was inside the doctor. And Shark Boy gained a lot of calories. Lots and lots of calories. You cant even imagine. So he decided to go to Dr. Oz, and ask him about his large tummy. But then he realized his last name was Oz... and so Doctor Oz was the wizard of oz, and so he decided to take care of it himself. So he dug to the center of the earth to burn his calories. Literally. And he went and saw on the core, the words engraved on paper, "synthetic aaah ulgh" and he whispered to himself..."stout." huh, and he burnt the paper. Then decided that he wanted to put his own words there.
(If you listened to Gordo's story you would get the "synthetic aah ulgh"
Stripes: I didn't catch that part..
Lemons: geez. It was on a paper on the wall in the center of the earth. It was the key to Jorda's soul, that Genghis Khan established with a fork and a napkin. Anyway)

He wrote in substitution for that, letters that were like this.

KPESELGFKJH

and he said, how grand! And then he opened the door, to the huge flame in the center of the earth, and attempted to burn his calories. The doctor died too, because he was inside of the Shark Boy. And some dude walked down there 3 years later. He decided to re organize the letters. The only managed for it to say K. Then he burned. Then the ugly duckling came down. He wanted to burn his face and become the darth vader of ducklings. But instead, he slipped on his rubber gloves, but on his shades, and wrote on a piece of paper, "lemons." Then he ate it, and was happy once again. Then he pulled out water, and threw it at the paper that said K and he felt like a cow. So he turned into a cow, after asking his mom if she would paint his room purple, like the skittles he used to eat. And he walked down to the center of the earth as a sexy cow.

And decided to fulfill his life dream, and name mother earth something. So he named earth, Irth. He thought he was genius. He was partying with himself all the next minute, when all the sudden a reindeer walked in. And with its super deep voice it yelled, "Goodbye." and he charged at the sexy cow, but right before the reindeer hit it, it decided it was attracted to it. So she looked at it for a minute, then looked at Irth, and renamed it....

And the name was so out of this world that the cow died from lack of oxygen.

The reindeer named it mars.

And then walked up the stairs and was trying to rhyme with mars. She somehow bumped into a rock and died. Your soul (yes, you Stripes. in 689 bc.) then came and looked at the reindeer and laughed. Then went back where you came from.

The reindeer got up and yelled, "THATS IT!" and she ran down into the center of the earth and wondered..."now how do i spell it????" So she went to a professor. when she asked him, he died, and so did the next two professors.

So she made up how to spell it. It caused an epidemic because she spelled it wrong. And a cookie fell from the sky with a name on it. Yes, the cookie said "a name" and the reindeer was inspired to spell the name right. But it died right there. From the epidemic.
And so the name Stripes was forgotten until your mom for some reason remembered it. And now for your last name...

To be continued...

Lemons! This was really really fun. Loves you =]

More little kid stories!

Ok, so when I was little, I had this funny little whimper.. didn't we all? Well, sometimes when I would do it, my mom would mimick me and fakie cry as well. Here's what I would respond:

No mom! Don't you cry then me!
:)

OH OH!!! And there's this one:
Mommy, what's a tantrum?
Well it's when someone gets down on the floor and kicks there legs and arms around screaming. Here, you want to try it? [Proof that my mom is slightly crazy. What parent in their right mind would ASK their child to throw a tantrum?? Haha, love you mom :)]
Little Stripes then gets down on the floor, moves her arms and legs violently and exclaims
AAAAAAAAHH!!!
A couple seconds later, Little Stripes stops and comments:
Mommy, that's stupid. Why would anyone want to do that? This is slightly ironic because a couple years ago I was a reeeeeal tantrum thrower. Not *exactly* that kind, but kicking things when I got frustrated, which happened easily, so pretty close.

Now? I hardly ever get angry.. or at least, it takes a whole lot more to get me mad. When I am angry though it's not a pretty sight....... don't make me mad :) But that shouldn't be a problem because, like I said, I really don't get mad easily. At all.
