High School Horrors #3

So I was sick all day yesterday.

Ten minutes into seminary and I knew that school was out of the question.

So I missed all day Monday, and I'll also miss all day Friday for my Grandpa's funeral

(post to come)

If you can recall from the first installment of High School Horrors, my schedule this year is not one that allows many absent days.

So missing school today (Tuesday) was not an option.

My mom convinced me to sleep through A hour so I started my day off with Trig.

I'm taking a quiz and suddenly

all Hell begins to break loose in my body again.

I hastily ask if I can step outside and begin gagging and coughing.

Gagging and coughing inevitably lead to throwing up what little I had in my stomach.

And who happens to mosey on over about this time???

None other than Mr. Gates.

The foxy assistant principal on whom I have a HUGE crush.

"Natalie?"

BLAST him for knowing my name!

"Are you okay?"

"Y-y-yes, I'm fine.

"You need to go to the nurse."

"No really I can't go home I can't miss any more sch-

*insert vomiting noise here*

Yeah. Real convincing Nat.

"I'll call you in to the nurse."

Can I just say that I HATE school nurses??

It's like they're purposely mean so you won't come back!

So anywho, after getting my stuff and trying to ignore the stares I slowly make my way to the nurses office where she proceeds to snap at me and make me feel about two inches tall.

After taking my temperature (which was only about a 97) and listening to my sob story about not missing school, she orders me to lie down until second hour.

So all day long I meander around feeling like a truck ran over me 87 times.

In Anatomy, my pregnant teacher made me feel like a leper that was going to contaminate the world.

In choir, due to my not having a voice, I sat there like an idiotic mute.

All in all, not one of my greatest days at Westwood.

Dude

By writing this post, I'm breaking my personal rule of

"no computer until homework is done."

But not posting regularly here at EverybodyNose feels like child neglect!

And not reading and commenting on all my friend's blogs feels like....

well the first phrase that came to mind was animal cruelty...

but that makes no sense.

ANYWHO....

A Picture's Worth 1,000 Words

We go to different high schools so we don't get to see each other very often, but when we do...

IT'S A PARTY!!!!!

"No Need to Say Goodbye"

My best friend since birth is moving to Texas on Sunday.

Her name is Julie.

That's her on the far left in the white jacket.

I can't even tell you how much I'm going to miss her.

So I'm not gonna try, instead I'm going to show you some pictures of our good times and tell you why I love and adore her.

A big part of it is that we've just been friends for so long....

"In the Beginning, there was Natalie and Julie...."

When we're together, we're not afraid to be ourselves, so sometimes we sorta...let loose!!
Through thick and thin we've been there for one another!

We understand each other's (Read: She understands my) Craziness!

Some of my favorite nick names have come from our six and a half million inside jokes!

(ie: Batman, Little John, Theresa, Peanut Butter, Kharma ect. ect.)

We sing songs.

And dance crazy dances.

And think we're awesome.

Cause we are!

Duh!!!

Julie has always been the best example to me!

When I cry, she holds me till I get it out, then makes me laugh.

We've made so many plans together!

Some of which we've actually carried out!!

She lets me make up her life story!

(I've probably rearranged her marriage about 980 times)

We're basically like the Dynamic Duo!

She's tough! Beneath that cute, sweet exterior is a girl tough as nails who can do anything!!!!!

She has the most beautiful smile! It seriously lights up the room!

She ALWAYS has a positive attitude!!!

She's one of the few people I'll listen to when I need to calm down, relax or stop my rubbish.

She's one of those people that you can't not like!

She makes the best facial expressions EVER!!!

These are just some of the amazing things that make up the beautiful amazing Julie!

I sure love ya girl!!!!!

Thanks for the last 16 years of absoloute fabulousness!

Here's to MANY MANY more to come!!!!

A Date, Two Dares, and an Internal Bruise???

Tuesday night was Fabulous! Two of my girlfriends and I decided to plan a triple date! We did a progressive dinner which started with Salad at Susannah's house. We also did a game at every house. The first one was How Well Do You Know Your Date. And ALL the boys won!

So at the next house, Katie's, the boys got to eat their scrumptious spaghetti first!

Then we played Apples to Apples and headed to my house for.........

PIZOOKIES and swimming!!!
And that is when we started a ridiculous game of

Team Truth or Dare.

Basically the truth option became void and you HAD to a dare with your date.

Well let me just say that Tyler and I got the WORST of the dares.

But before I tell you about the first dare, here's a little background information.

My dear friend Tyler and I met in Karate. He was the only boy who would actually try and fight me. All the other boys didn't want to hit a girl. But Tyler WOULD NOT be beat by a girl. So naturally he kicked my trash every time we fought. And I loved it! How was I supposed to get better if no one would try???

Exactly.

So anywho, the other boys on our date, Jacob and Sam, knew this. So all night they'd been bugging us to fight each other. And when it was our turn to do a dare they got their chance. They made us get out of the pool, get on the trampoline and fight.

Take down, tap out.

I looked at Tyler and was like

"Let's just get this over with."

So within 15 seconds he had me down and in a choke hold.

Like an

"I can't breathe, let go or I'll die choke hold!"

As we got back in the pool I was doing my best to breathe normally and not cry...

And I suceeded!

No tears!

I'm a tough girl!

PSH!

Anywho, too soon, we had to do a dare again.

And it was ridiculous.

"Act out the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Nope.

They weren't.

So there we were, me on top of our slide with Ty on the diving board, confessing our love to each other in Old English.

Sam and Jacob scripted us.

Me: Tyler Oh Tyler, thy muscles are rippling.

Ty: Natalie Oh Natalie, thy beauty is comparable to the moon in al its glory.

Then they spent five minutes trying to get "Romeo" to kiss me.

I could practically see the battle going on in Ty's head.

Everyone in the pool was staring shamelessly like it was a movie!

Finally, after minutes of goading, Ty leaned up and kissed me on the cheek.

It was PRECIOUS!

After everyone left, my neck was still hurting from the choke hold.

And Wednesday it was worse.

I got really paranoid, thinking I had a bruise on my neck!

AH WHAT ARE PEOPLE GOING TO THINK!!!!!!

But then multiple people told me they couldn't see anything.

Which meant that the bruise is internal...

Which is why it hurts so much!!!!

So there you have it, A Date, Two Dares and an Internal Bruise.

You Know You're At A Mormon Party When.....

1. The first game you play is missionary tag.

2. The worst thing in the cooler is Mt. Dew.

3. The dinner is a potluck

4. Everyone leaves by ten thirty and goes straight home.

Ya gotta love it!!!!!!!
