America's Got...NO BRAINS!

Omgoodness. Who here watches America's Got Talent? Great show, right? Well it was...until the most amazing, fantabulous group in the world LOST on Wednesday. The season five Top Four included Prince Poppycock, Jackie Evancho, Michael Grim, and the world's most incredible group, Fighting Gravity. Oh, I could've sworn they were going to win it all. But no...third place. Their stunning act took third place to a TEN-YEAR-OLD!!!!!!!!!! Sigh...I was very sad :( I would pay to see Fighting Gravity and I sure hope I get the chance. YOU ROCK GUYS!!!!

Check out this video to see them in action:

It's Shocking!

Hey guys! Okay, well, this happened last Tuesday, but I just now got time to write about it. Well, my best friend Mildred* and I are in PE together, and the freshmen are in the middle of fitness testing (haha...in case you missed it, we aren't freshmen). Well, the freshmen were like, all embarrassed because they didn't want the older kids to watch them do push-ups. Yeah, pathetic, I know. But the coach made the older ones sit in the bleachers on the other side of the wall anyways. So, Mildred* and I are sitting in these chairbacks seats, listening to her iTouch. When coach tells us to come back in, we stand up and start walking. Well, when we got up, I heard a static-like sound coming from the headphone I had on. And all of a sudden..........POW!!!!! The inside of my ear is hit with such an INCREDIBLE amount of electricity that it actually burned. Well, I ripped the headphone out of my ear and looked at Mildred* with a look of such confusion on my face.....she was giving me the same look. "Did you FEEL that?" I said. She was like "Yeah!!!" The weird thing was, she wasn't touching ANYTHING, so it would be kinda hard for a charge to start. Well, this bolt of mysterious electricity came out of nowhere, shot through her left index finger, up her arm, through the right headphone, and into my ear. Yeah, freaky. Well, after a few minutes had gone by, our electrified body parts hadn't gotten any better. My ear was burning and her arm was numb. So, we went to the nurse (who was super fascinated by this) and she came to check out where we were sitting to see if there was a charge in the seats.....there wasn't. Well, she checked us out and we were fine. We were just, you know, a little shocked (pardon the pun) by what had happened. Can any of ya'll explain this? I mean, seriously, people found it hard to believe that I had been literally electrocuted. And I'm not over exaggerating. This was no "oh I touched the car door and it gave me a little ZIP". This was an all-out electrical explosion IN MY EAR!!!! Gosh....craziness. It was definitely an, um......exciting end to my day.

Love to all, Elizabeth :)

Shoeless in Seattle

Hey howdy hey faithful readers! Well, some of you may know that today was the Tom's shoe day where you would go barefoot to represent the children in third world countries that don't have any shoes. Good cause, right? Well, I was unaware of this, along with my BFF. So, we're getting dressed in the locker room for PE, and we hear a voice on the intercom say: "Pardon the interruption teachers, but would you please send any student that is not wearing shoes to the office please." Everyone in the locker room froze and looked up at the speaker. We were like, did we seriously just hear that? Then she repeated it and we were like, uh huh...we did. As soon as she was done talking, every single girl in the locker room cracked up. It was definitely the weirdest thing I heard all day. And apparently these kids got in trouble. I guess no shoes is against the dress code. Yeah, okay, but seriously...it was a sign of passion for something. I really don't think that's fair. But you know...principals. Anyways, yeah...it was definitely a bizarre announcement.

Luv to all, Elizabeth :)

Save the Worms!

What up? So, anyone that knows me knows I have like, the coolest family in the world. If you ever came over to my house, you would see that my parents behave more like teenagers than adults, as far as being dorky goes. And it's awesome. But anyways, my mom, my little brother, and I were leaving to go grocery shopping this morning. You know how, when it rains, you find worms wriggling all over the sidewalk? Well, there were like three on the way to the garage and it was starting to get hot outside. And since I sure as heck won't touch a worm, my mom bent down and picked them up with a stick and laid them in the mud. I won't pick them up, but I didn't want them to die either. So we saved them. Yeah...for some people it's "Save the Whales". At my house, it's "Save the Worms". I know. We're weird. And that's just how I like it!

Luv to all, Elizabeth :)

What up Peeps (haha..get it? peeps...Easter? never mind). Well,first of all, who's excited for Easter? ME IS! Go Jesus! Rise from that grave! So amazing. And my church is going to have the coolest Easter service on Sunday. Can't wait! Well, besides church, Easter makes people think of what? Easter eggs! Well, I found the coolest eggs ever. Who in the world has the time (or patience) to do something like this? Well, obviously someone does. But it sure as heck ain't me. Anyways, enjoy!!

Omigosh. Seriously? There's some ridiculous talent out there.

Oooo, pretty colors.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...KISS!! Ha ha! So cool!

Yeah, those are real beads.

Whoa, seriously. How the heck do people do this?

Pretty, huh?

Dude...sweet. They don't even look like eggs. More like fabric.

Well, that's it for today. Cool, huh? My Easter egg decorating pretty much consists of dunking a boiled egg in a cupp of colored water. Yeah...that takes serious skill. Anyways, hope you liked them.

Luv to all, Elizabeth :)

Quote of the Day- We're all one choice away from stupid.

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!

Well, school was canceled for us today...which seems to be happening a lot lately. Never thought I'd get tired of that, but hey, anything's possible. Laying on the couch, being bored, I decided to go out and play in the snow and take pics. Enjoy :)

Here's my brother's and my snowman. Ain't he cute?

What dorks!

And here's what's left of our snowman. I know what you're thinking...he committed suicide. Yes, it's true, he fell over and bit the dust about five minutes after we made him. Sigh...I barely knew ya buddy!! :(

AAAAAARGH!!!! FEAR ME!!

So precious. Too bad the snow was too packed to actually, ya know, blow delicately out of my hands.

Snowball fight! Never gets old :)

Don't you dare! Don't you, don't you...SPLAT! Argh!

I actually did catch some snowflakes. They were cold. I know right? Unbelievable...cold snow. Psh...ridiculous.

Copycat.

Isn't that purty? That's a tree (well, duh) in my backyard.

How sweet! Snow art!

I think branches covered in snow are so graceful and pretty, don't you?

More trees...or tree...singular.

If you look closely, you can actually see the snow falling. It was coming down pretty hard earlier today.

I just love the snow. Who doesn't? And you are NEVER to old to go outside and toss around a snowball or two ;)

Christmas Cookie Crazies

Before Christmas every year, my youth group bakes cookies for widows and shut-ins in our area. If you know my friends, you know that we're crazy and that baking cookies is not a task we take entirely seriously. Just look...

I decided to totally cover myself in flour that day. It was just sitting on the counter...tempting me. Who doesn't like to get messy? Sigh...old habits die hard ;)

Don't they look yummy? And we got to eat the leftovers!

Those are two of my super good friends, Miranda Mooseberry* and Tabitha Claringtoon*. I love those guys to death!!!

This is my super-sticky creation. Isn't it beeyooteefull? I know, right?

Okay, there is a story to this picture. Miranda was going to be in the Christmas parade later that day as Mary, and this doll was supposed to be Jesus. That poor thing took so much abuse! We threw it up in the air, played soccer with it, and of course...twisted it into the caging on the stage. That picture is right side up mind you. Sad, sad day. But so, so funny! What's even funnier is this video of my youth pastor. Just watch...

Well...uh...erm....yeah. There's not really much I can say there.

What a mess!!

My brother totally stole my flour thunder.

Those stupid wreaths were SO hard to keep together. It's just cornflakes and some green goo, so they totally fell apart every time we tried to put them on the plates. Oh well. We got it figured out.

Umm...what's with the sombrero?

This is Candy*, my youth pastor's wife, Corkie Barnsworth*, and Brundalin Hartfyre*. Three peas in a pod, no?

As you can see, we are no ordinary youth group....and I LOVE it!!

Pigeon Forge

Have any of you ever been to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee? Well, it's only the coolest place to vacation. Over the summer, my family went there for a week. Totally awesome! Check it out...

This is a pic I took from the car of the Nashville skyline. Nashville happens to be the home of both the Tennessee Titans (whoo whoo!) and Skillet (the greatest band on the planet). Cool beans, right?

This is back at the hotel. It only took about a gazillion and a half tries to actually catch him in mid-air.

What a ham! LoL :)

"Go Speed Racer, GO!!"

This drive-in Italian place in Knoxville, Tennessee was actually featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. And it was definitely the best pizza I've ever had.

Sigh...I can almost taste it.

Oh...that's attractive.

This is the owner that they actually interviewed on the show.

Hand over the pasta, and nobody gets hurt ;)

These are from the Sky Lift in downtown Gatlinburg...

Aw, how sweet...a brother and sister pretending to like each other. JK :) We actually do get along really well.

Whoa...in case you didn't already know, I HATE heights. You can ask my brother...I held on to that seat for dear life!

We've got a ways to go...

Hello lovebirds!

These are pics from Smoky Mountain National Park. Gorgeous, no?

That's my bro, Georgio Thittleworth*. Ain't he cute?

Smile pretty!

Aaaaaw! How sweet! Who says parents can't be cute?

Gatlinburg is right by Pigeon Forge. It's this cool little village with awesome shops and attractions.

Is that not the coolest building you've ever seen? It's like an interactive scientific fun spot type thing.

"My, what big wheels you have, Mr. Truck."

This was when my brother and I rode in the back of that monster truck behind us. Which, by the way, was AWESOME!!

This is the awesomest wooden coaster I've EVER ridden. No joke!

This is the outside of the Mystery Mine. Only the most INSANE ride ever!! Check out this youtube link to take a virtual ride (sorry it's kinda hard to see...most of the ride is in the dark):

This is the outside of the Dollywood Chapel...

...and this is the inside. Pretty, huh?

My, those are strange looking owls.... ;)

Isn't that a pretty little scene?

A Ferris wheel at Dollywood...that I didn't go on. But I felt like taking a picture anyways.

It was so much fun! I was sad to go. But, we're planning on going back again. Hopefully sometime soon.
