Idaho Speaks

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.  Of course we want to know all the gossip.  We got constant updates.  They’re celebrities so they can never have privacy.  

People’s magazine claims  they were dating since they were caught holding hands boarding a plane last summer.

Ok! Magazine claims them to be engaged as of last fall.

The Hollywood Gossip says that Robert admitted to dating Kristen, last month.

One website claims that Robert broke up with Kristen and that they havent been together since London.

Sometimes its hard to know when the gossip is right… but its hard to be in the public eye all the time.  So do you believe these gossip bits when you read them, or do you think they are just that…gossip?

Yearbook is more than what it seems to the people outside the yearbook room. When I first stepped into the class… I had this thought that all it was… is just people who take photos and write down a few sentences about the photo but I was surely wrong.

In yearbook you are divided into two groups of two or maybe three depending on how many kids. You each have to work on pages that are called DPS’s also known as double page spread which is two pages that have boxes where you have to place photos and spots by the photos to write a caption and sometimes a story. The pages have a certain theme you must have unless on index and closing then you do the entire school.  On the sports pages its the same layout except now there are scoreboards where you have to write down a certain amount of scores.

There are also deadlines and they must be shipped by a certain day or your book will come out later than the date they you had planned. The advisor sends it to the company and we come back with proofs that the advisor and editor look at for mistakes and if so they send it back or they will have you correct them.

In yearbook, you can’t slack off.. You must be on track or ahead.

…still painted orange this year.  At least the Grizz tried. 

The whole Emotion Bowl kept spectators on their feet.  It was filled with boos and cheers from the first play of the game where the Tigers kicked off to the Grizz, all the way to the last play where the Tigers took a knee.  The final score was 28-13.

The Tigers played great defense and offense the whole game but the Grizz had bad offense the first half, scored in the second half, and only sometimes had great defense.

Overall, it was a  great game even though my team lost.

It’s back to school I go as it’s the beginning of the 09-10 school year. It’s good to be a junior. It just means I’m one step closer to my last and final year in high school. The classes I have are going great if you are out there asking.

I’m going on to the fifth week and already there is loads to cover around the school starting with Homecoming, then the death of our sophmore friend, and this week the BIG picture is Emotion Bowl. Most stores/ fast food places windows close by Skyline are filled with the words Go Big Blue or something along those terms. 

I hoping for my team, Grizz, to win but Tigers could upset us again like last year and keep the goalpost orange. We’ll have to wait and see.

I did not know Christin Shawver.  She was a Skyline HS student.  She died in a car wreck on September 17th.

On Friday, September 25th we had a memorial service at school.  We had a moment of silence and let go of balloons into the sky.  Emotions were very sad even for those of us who did not know her, and we tried to help honor her memory.  There was some crying.

During the week they collected money for her.  I hope she had a good life and I feel bad for not getting to know her while I had the chance.

This week at my school is Diversity Week.

Today was “Show Your Culture” day.

Tomorrow is Tie Dye Day.

Thursday is “Wear the Color of Your Personality” Day.  I’ll be wearing blue because that’s my color.  I’m not a blue person (sad) but I like blue!  It’s a cool color, it’s the school color, it’s the cool school  color!

Friday is “Blue and White” Day, school colors.

There will also be local restaurants providing ethnic food, a diversity of foods, so to speak.  It will be a lunch party.  I’m thinking about eating something from the taco wagon, or the BBQ place.

The Mall is a great place to hang out with friends.  You get tons of stores to shop at like Claire’s, Hot Topic, Bath and Body Works, and more.

You have a blast because you and your friends can get your pictures taken, you can buy snacks, and when your friends are there they help you buy the cutest things. 

So what are you waiting for?  Get off the couch and Go To The Mall!

Two things happened over spring break this year.  I got my driver’s license, and I got a car.  I now don’t have to rely on my parents for transportation. 

And She's OFF!

As long as I tell them where I’m going, I just head out and drive.

I drive by the laws of the road because it’s the right thing to do. 

My car?  Well, it’s only THE COOLEST THING to me.

It’s a red two-door Pontiac Grand Am.

And I love it.

I have freedom.

So last night was the last of the season’s Contra Dances at the First Presbyterian Church in Idaho Falls.  Usually there would have been two more but apparently the interest is dying down, and the money isn’t there any more.  That’s too bad, I think it is fun.

What is Contra Dancing?  It’s a kind of folk dancing, derived from English and French country dancing, in which couples dance in two facing lines.

Many of the steps are similar to square dancing, but the combinations are simpler.  A caller teaches the steps and cotinues to call while the band plays music from America and Europe.

It starts up each year in the Fall/Winter season.  Check it out next time!
