Ahhhhh!!

I have been sick

for like 

a month

and I have had a headache

since...

Thursday night.

My life is a joke.

I hate being sick.

I've already missed two days of school.

Kill myself.

Just kidding. 

My life is just hard.

Boo.

Weekly update

So this week was pretty much...

great.

Yup

pretty much really good.

First of all

Monday was a holiday so there was no school

Tuesday was a B-day

which is just great by itself

but that dancing thing started on Tuesday too!

{by that dancing thing, I just mean my dance classes started}

Yay!

The only downside to that day was Emma wasn't there to go to class with me.

Sad, sad day.

Anyway,

back to dance.

I am taking a new class this year.

Its called company.

Its the highest level dance class you can take at this particular studio.

I'm pretty stoked about it.

But I'm also very humbled and scared by it.

I haven't bee dancing very long..

Well I have but I took a year and a half off

so in all reality I've only been dancing for a few months.

I'm not strong enough

my technique is no where close to where it should be

and I just don't fell very prepared for this class.

But its such an honor

and such a big deal

that I'm going to give it a chance.

Obviously they saw something about me that was ready, right?

Right?

e'er

I'm also taking the regular girl class

 which is just preparation for company.

And the boy-girl partnering class

which is basically the junior company

so that's my dancingness right now.

Wednesday mutual was canceled

technically it was just moved

but there was no mutual nonetheless

I'm just kind of annoyed with the activities

or lack thereof

that we've been doing in mutual

and then I also had a meeting for choir tour.

We're going to San Francisco.

:)

I'm excited.

It's going to be really fun.

Thursday was dance again

and then today is friday

and tomorrow I'm going to closing night of the show that's going on at my school 

:)

I'm excited about that too

I'm going to be writing a paper on

the shows that are happening in the area

so it gives me an excuse to go to them.

Well,

until next time 

sweet readers.

New blog for the group/club I'm in charge of

WWW.ohsauthors.wordpress.com

is it like sacrilegious to have a wordpress link on blogger?

Probably.  

NOOOO!!!

So I , again, forgot about this blog.

I am a failure.

Honestly this only happens

because I don't really have anything to talk about.

I am a VERY boring person.

Maybe that's a lie.

Kind of.

I make a fool of myself a lot,

and I guess that's entertaining...

but other than that..

nothing.

I am obsessed with youtube.

OBsessed.

{You see what I did there?}

{I put the stress on the first syllable?}

I'm awesome.

Anyway, because I'm obsessed with this...thing,

but too afraid to actually do anything myself..

I'm just going to do a variation of my favourite type of videos

here

on my blog.

Either in writing...

or make a video

or both

probably both.

So the first thing I'm going to do is finish this post.

So that I can get started on another one.

But first.

I need to talk about some things

that I won't be able to talk about later.

Namely:

AP Art

Journalism

aaand 

A NEW BLOG.

In my AP Art class we have had the assignment to come up with a concentration.

Basically what this is, is an idea or theme that we're going to focus on throughout the year.

I,

being the fool of an overachiever that I am,

have decided to not only do one

but three 

different

concentrations.

Our portfolio will consist of twelve concentration pieces

That means I will be doing 36 projects

36

freaking

art

projects.

I do not know how long this will last.

I could finish it.

Probably not.

The main concentrations that I will be focusing on for sure

are "Telling a story"

I really love the whole

"Art is the only language that everyone can speak"

thing.

I love the idea of communication.

I love communicating

I love writing

I love stories.

This concentration makes sense for me.

But, honestly, no one else is gonna care.

And so I came up with my second one.

Human passions.

So things like:

The 7 deadly sins

love

joy

despair

and

hatred

These will mostly be concept pieces

Works of art that show an emotion or feeling

rather than a figure

or a bowl of fruit.

And then the third one is just

water

I like water

water is a broad subject

you can do a lot with water

have a very diverse range of projects

with water.

I really am excited about all of this.

really.

I do love art.

I just don't think I'm really passionate about it.

So the only reason Journalism is on here is because:

I have to interview EVERY club president at my school

its club week.

There are A LOT of clubs.

[insert shooting sound here]

And secondly

Its with one of my favourite teachers

who was supposed to start a writing club last year.

It never happened

broke my heart.

But NOW

I am doing everything in my power to make this happen.

which brings me to my third thing...

..

.

A new blog.

You see

this is going to be a very 

anonymous

blog.

Basically I'm just going to start it

to go along with this 

soon to be existent 

writing club.

I really like sharing my thoughts with people.

but I can't do that here

because

one its private

two I embarrass myself far too much for this to be seen by any eyes other that your's

My dear

trusted

non judgmental

readers.

So I am starting a new one.

I will post a link here eventually.

like when this thing actually exists.

Because

I'M SURE

you are all SO interested

in reading it.

But if you do

and you know other people who do too

don't tell them its me.

Bad plan.

ummmmmmmmmm

Yeah I think that that is it.

I am going to go do English homework now.

Hahah if it can be counted as homework.

Oh English

you funny little subject you.

First Day of School, part two

Aaaand the final part to my first day post(s)

is here.

Today was basically a joke.

I have the most pointless classes, that can't even be considered classes

because they're ALL electives.

I really liked all of my classes

but I chose all of them so that was just a given in my mind.

e'er

I started the day off with early morning seminary.

I took this last year and I really liked it,

it just started making me get sick a lot.

{Note to self: take better care of myself}

The reason I like it so much is because basically its a class of really

I mean REALLY

dedicated seminary students.

They're people who want to be there

not people who are being forced.

The only downsides to this year are:

The guy I like isn't in my class

my best female friend isn't in my class either

and a girl who I haven't really been friends with recently is..

but I'm thankful for the opportunity to reconnect with her.

I miss her.

My first actual class period of the day was Journalism.

[insert ecstatic outburst of joy and excitement here]

I am beyond excited for that class.

Its unreal

and the funny thing is I've never even been interested in journalism

or newspapers

or reporting

or anything like that

ever.

But when I got into that class today I just couldn't contain my excitement.

The same girl in my seminary class is in this one too.

So, that will be good.

My second period wasn't even a class.

It was study hall

What a joke.

Then I had A capella

one of the top choirs at my school.

I won't even talk about that class.

It deserves a pot of its own.

Mayhaps I'll do that.

GREAT class though.

Oh my gosh.

Then I had Drama 4

and what's the first thing we did in drama?

auditioned for Shakespeare festival

I wasn't surprised.

Neither should you.

Its drama people.

Don't even worry,

I memorized my monologue

last night.

Awesome.

Well, I just finished my homework.

and now

I'm going to bed.

I'm exhausted.

Sweet dreams.

First Day of School, part one

The reason this is in two parts is because today was only the first A-day

 I only had half my classes.

So that's technically not the only first day of school.

Anyway,

today was pretty good.

I mean I didn't like HATE any of my classes,

I'm not sure I really LOVED any of them either though.

I had:

AP Art {do NOT ask me why I took that class}

English

Algebra II

and 

chemistry

I liked art, I already have homework though.

I guess that's what I get for taking a college level art class...

and not really paying attention to summer homework.

In English I got invited to go to Greece next summer,

I'm just that cool I guess.

No, she invited everyone.

But apparently a former teacher came to this teacher and recommended me.

Guess at one point in my life I actually did something right.

Cool.

I have A MILLION friends in math.

And because the teacher knows; and likes {important fact} us

he sat us all together.

Shveet.

And I didn't hate Chemistry as much as I thought I did. 

Though I have homework in that class {and English, but I don't consider that homework} too.

Gross.

But yeah,

basically that is a run down of my day.

I would promise more about this when I do a "My week" post.

Buuut I can't promise that that is actually going to happen.

But you have this

so

enjoy.

And to all of you starting school as well,

*ahem*

I hope you had a fantastic first day

and I hope tomorrow is even better.

Cool.

Sweet dreams.

PS. Pictures might exist in the near{ish} future.

K,

I'm really leaving now. 

Just My first ever VLOG post. Hahah I'm pathetic.

Wow

This is my third post,

In one day.

I think I have a new addiction.

Really and truly this day just sucks.

I just found out that I need a new battery for my laptop.

Its to be expected

Its a really old laptop.

Okay, like two years.

But I use it A LOT

Like everyday.

I'm in high school 

So I have a lot of papers and research to do.

So I spend a lot of time on my computer.

I need it to be in top shape for the new year...

and I don't want to get a new one until a graduate...

so I can have a nice new one for college.

You know, if I get into college.

No big deal.

I'm only stressing a little bit.

Breath Ashlie,

Breath.

This post is a disgrace.

I should have made this post like...months ago.

But its not my fault

because I only get this a few weeks ago.

BUT

its here and I love it.

Its the Christmas present Isa and Emma gave me!!

Isn't it cute?

Its just a cute little sketch book

But it has our inside jokes!

BEST PRESENT EVER!!

I was so excited

Best day of my life.

I miss them

I want to play with them

but sadly,

Emma has a life now.

She lives on campus.

Boo.

I'm awesome.

I'm getting really good at this updating thing.

Be proud of me.

Today is a sad day :(

My Beeg Seester is moving away.

To college

which is only forty minutes away

but still

its sad. :(

Emma

I love you

and I'm going to miss you.

Come visit me.

Don't forget me! ;)

You're the best.

You're gonna do great at school.

I miss you already

Loves.

Girls Night! :)

We're Adorable :)

Glitter nails!

Hello there! So GOOD NEWS! I am doing glitter nails! Probably only for a limited time..because I have a really hectic time period coming up for me..no big deal. But YEAH glitter nails :) um...you can contact me at sherwoodgiggles@gmail.com or if you know mw {which most of you do..} Just give me a call or send me a text or just show up at my house. Cool. K bye :)
  to the right are my hands with ocean and charcoal as an accent



To the left are my cousins feet with paradise




Below are my feet with T-bird
















I have lots of colours and yeah! So let me know :)

Hahah I haven't used pictures FOREVER! hahah

I have a problem.

Multiple actually.

Most really aren't problems at all...

but its me.

AND everything is a problem for me.

You know,

for lack of better words.

Hah.

K

well

lets start shall we?

cool.

My first problem is my uncle

who is basically like a second father to me

passed away this week.

Honestly, I thought I would handle this differently.

I thought I would be an emotional wreck.

Crying all the time

not caring what I looked like

eating my feelings

Yeah, 

all of it.

But I have been perfectly fine.

And not because of like shock or something.

I just have come to realize that even if I don't understand it

God has his plan.

And He must have a very big need of strong priesthood holders there in heaven.

I am not trying to say that I'm not sad or upset.

I am.

I love my uncle.

I am going to miss him.

But he is happier with our heavenly father.

My second problem.

I haven't even STARTED 

getting ready for school yet.

And for me 

THIS IS A BIG DEAL.

You just don't understand.

I am like having anxiety attacks

because I am getting so stressed out.

I am usually ready for school

like a month ago.

I have twelve days 

TWELVE DAYS

to get ready for my junior year.

suck.

My third problem.

I haven't finished my online classes yet.

I am a failure.

Do I have to explain this further?

Yes?

K...

I haven't finished the online classes I'm taking.

{Because I kind of slacked off this summer...shhhhhh...}

and because of this I am just going to have a HUGE work load

 for the first few months of the year.

I do not need that.

You have to understand

I'm barely going to have time to breath this year.

Because for some reason I like overloading myself with stuff.

Who needs a social life?

Not me

Obvi

So I'm just trying to relax.

Its not the end of the world.

My fourth problem.

I have a million people living in my house.

Okay, like...seventeen.

Okay that's even a lot if you're used to a lot of people.

I'm not.

I'm used to my mom.

and occasionally my cousin.

Stressful.

That's what my life is.

And I know that its not forever.

And I know I should enjoy the time with my family.

But I just want to sleep.

All the time.

That's a lie.

But I don't like sharing my bathroom.

Gross.

And my last problem.

I am addicted to youtube.

PROBLEM

yes.

and when school starts I'm going to have withdrawals.

Wow.

This was a long post.

Be proud of me.

Goodnight. 

My Alarm works.

Its six thirty on a Saturday night,

and what am I doing?

I"M UPDATING MY BLOG.

Lets take a moment and celebrate.

Because I do not know if this will ever happen again.

Well,

now on with the post.

I went to girls camp this week.

It was pretty cool. 

{said in an accent that Emma and Isa will probably only know}

I had some really cool experiences and stuff.

This was my last year.

So it was a bitter sweet experience.

Anyway, I'll probably write more about that later.

But I'm tired, because I had girls camp

and I'm sick.

Because of Girls camp.

I'm going to bed now.

Bye.

Life happens...

...and  sometimes it sucks. And sometimes you don't know how to handle it. I don't know how to handle mine right now. This is a weak moment for me. I'm constantly thinking I'm not good enough or I did something wrong to make the bad things that happen in my life happen. I just never know what to do. And even when I do know, I never have enough courage to actually do it. I want things to go back to normal, I want things to be good again. I don't want to have to go through this, I don't want anyone to ever have to go through this. I just want it to be over.

HEY!

Adorbz

I really need to like...set an alarm to go off once a week to remind me that I have this thing called a blog... Yup doing that right now. *Done* Basically my life has consisted of 

~playing with Isa and Emma. {Aren't they cute?}

~Doing stupid summer homework {asdoanshflsaijgof that loosely translates to "I'm not a happy camper}

~Stalking people on deviantart

~And updating my own Deviantart account. {Hey check it out! http://shlieshelz.deviantart.com/}

I really want it to rain,

 because I want an excuse to go out and act like a little kid and have

 no one judge me,

Yeah.

I'm a really lame blogger, I'm aware and I'm real sorry.

Which is why I don't understand why I have another one.

But,

I do.

And its because this blog is private and I needed a "Website" For deviantart. 

So if you want to keep up with my art work 

{Which is strongly suggested because on day I'm going to be freaking famous :p}

But don't want to deal with Deviantart 

{understandable, its a strange place}

You can for sure go here...

Shlieshelz.blogspot.com

Yup, fun times.

Am I forgetting anything?

Oh! 

I got an art tablet!

Which I'm sure none of you really care about

but I'm WaY excited.

I purchased this one http://www.geniustablet.com/SubPages/ProductStylesMain/OverviewProductsStylePage.aspx?ID=117be198-3b74-4535-a4dc-5af01d4a2210

I also got an instagram Shlieshelz is my nick name {get it its like seashells only with my nicknames? Yeah adorbz.}

Aaaand a tumblr

but I don't really know how to use it yet...so...

ANYWAY I'll be done now, I have things to do. 

Bye.

KONY2012

So I finally took the time to actually sit down and watch the

30 minute KONY2012 video...

and its worth it,

Like really, I was touched and made

very aware of some of the things going on in the world right now.

I challenge all of you to go and watch it because it just

might change your perspective on some things.

It sure did for me.

For example:

Basically for the past few days...?

{Yeah lets go with that}

I've been complaining about how awful my life is.

And even if its a little frustrating...

Its no where near what this video opened my eyes to.

I mean seriously,

I don't go to bed every night terrified of getting abducted

and being turned into a sex slave.

I don't have to live in fear of a war that is happening in my back yard.

The worst I have to worry about is a test in history

and maybe some people I know being rude and

stupid.

I know the video seems long

but there are so many worthless things you could do in a half hour.

Instead,

DO THIS

~Open your Internet browser of choice

~go to Youtube.com

~get a snack

~Once your on Youtube, search KONY2012

~put the video on wide screen

~Press play

~Eat your snack and enjoy.

And once you watch it...

Do something.

Share it with your friends.

Encourage them to share it with theirs.

So on and so forth.

We can change the world with this,

and I think we should.

But we can't do it alone.

The government needs to know we care.

Make them hear us.

Make Joseph Kony famous,

make him a household name.

Let people know your thoughts on the matter.

We can change this.

So...in short...

Watch the video

and make the world a better place.

Uh...sorry?

Okay, I lied again.

You actually didn't get another post.

Because, that thing didn't happen when it was supposed to.

and when it finally did, I wasn't home.

Stohpid.

But, the good news is I am actually updating.

and some more good news is that I basically have straight A's.

Apart from...a C in history and a B in art.

But they're at the bottom,

and if you hold your thumb over them

its almost like

they're not there at all.

Pretty great.

Also, I am currently ina show at my school.

I'm really excited about the show.

The people in it are another story...

You see,
my life is REALLY dramatic right now.

Which normally I'm used to.

But its a really dramatic drama.

Gross.

Oh!

and,

we're starting to schedule for next year.

Basically,

I'm in love with my schedule.

But its also stressing me out, because

if I don't get things in a certain place

basically I'm screwed.

AHHH!

Anyway,

thats basically my life right now.

I promise I will try to update more.

But,

you know things are crazy.

Anywhoo...

sorry for the...stuff and lack of updating...

but I'm trying to change that!

Hahah

Goodbye for nows ;) <=== Hooker girl smile hah...

Woll hello there!

So...I'm very aware that I haven't posted in...a while...

like since school started.

...hah...

Anyway I decided that since it was the start of the new semester it would be a good time to post.

I was thinking a good way to start would be how I originally started this blog.

You know the 'my favourite things' thing?

At least I think thats what it was...

Anyway...

Okay I lied. I just went and actually looked at my blog, I started with

'simple things that make me smile'

Oh well.

So as of recent these are my favourite things:

~Blue

~ABC Family's pretty little liars

~charcoal (I've discovered that I'm actually pretty good at it)

~'Words with Friends' {This is an obsession}

~My Kindle Fire

~The 'Wicked lovely' Well...most of them.

~Disney

~Youtube videos

~specifically 'Jenna marbles' (She's a guilty pleasure of mine...)

~and 'My drunk kitchen'

~And basically all of the hair and makeup turtorials (especially the ones about the pretty little liars)

~Geometry...no really I'm serious.

~English

~Nicholas Sparks

~'The vow' Even though it hasn't come out yet.

So yeah...

These are just a few of my Favourite things.

I'm gonna catch you up on my life now.

So first of all school started,

I turned 16

I got on the varsity Ballroom team at school

I started getting A's in math for the first time in my life

I auditioned for a play

I reconnected with the friends I made while doing plays

I got over my ex boyfriend and we're now sort of friends

I sort of forgot about my blog...

I got a Kindle for Christmas

My sisters Ashley and Emma bugged me about my lack of recent blog posts

I decided I hate Biology so I transferred out of the class

I realized that Ballroom wasn't a good environment so I left

I learrned the hard way that you can't trust everyone

My nephews turned 3 and 1

My nieces turned 3, 5 and 6

Which means I'm old and its weird.

My brother and sister in law gave me my Kindle hahah and basically I'm obsessed.

I am now going to take ceramics, eew.

So thats my life so far, also I'm going to post another thing here today.

Because its a pretty big deal.

...Be patient...

You'll see.
