The Deal

So yeah pretty much this blog has now become obsolete. Ignore it from here on out (unless I had some wonderful insight that you want to go reread, in which case feel free), because I added a new blog...I think. Scroll down, click on view my complete profile (or something like that), scroll down past all the completely useless information about your's truly, and click on the Junior Year blog, and you've got my new blog.
Yeah so this is Zelos signing off of this blog for what may be the last time.
It's been fun, and keep reading from my Junior Year.

Thems Are Some Good DrugZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

So I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and I was pretty much asleep on the couch the whole day after that, until dinner time. I've been in not very much pain ever since I got them out, the pain killer certainly helps, but even without the pain killer I can still get stuff done and not be in agony. I was really nervous that this would take up the rest of my week, and that I would be miserable all week long, but I'm not. I still can't eat much, but besides that I'm doing fairly well for my experience. So yeah that's pretty much it.
This is Zelos still kind of on drugs,
See ya.

AMAZING!!!!

I finished my stake's pioneer handcart trek today. It was pretty much one of the most humbling and amazing experiences I've ever had. I was disappointed that our stake didn't have any devotionals for us, but it was still really fun just getting to have those with my family (especially since I was big brother and in charge of them). The best part was getting stuck with seven complete strangers (nine if you count my parents) and two people I knew, and just having to work with them, get to know them, and befriend them, just so you could all survive together. It was amazing how impressive my siblings were, I felt like such a loser next to any of my siblings (except one of my sisters, who was the trial of the trek)and I felt so humble when my parents chose me to be big brother over them. My Pa ensured me before hand that both he and my first Ma (who left when her son had a seizure and was replaced by my second Ma) had felt impressed by the Spirit to choose me as big brother, which really kind of surprised me a little bit, since I wasn't the oldest there, I've always been little brother, and I had none of the skills that were necessary for the job. The only things I had to run on were a love of my siblings (which had to develop quickly since I'd never met them before), an amazing big sister (who was one of my major support groups for the trek) and a want for all of us to get through trek with minimal injuries. The trek wasn't trial free, but we were able to work through our trials (including a stream, a ravine, and an immense hill), and at the end of the day we were able to kneel together in family prayer, and feel the Savior's love for every member of our family. Our family also grew stronger together through the trek from the pioneer stories Pa would tell us during our breaks, and the games Ma would have us play to ensure that we grew together as not only friends, but as a family. My first Ma said it best at our orientation: "I want this family to be a forever family, and that's just what I'm sure it'll be." We grew such good friendships in the the family, even if we did have some issues as well. I'm grateful for the stake leaders and my Heavenly Father who put me in a family that would humble me and strengthen me. Some day I hope I'll be able to have my own family somewhat like the one on Trek (which is much like my real family), where not everyone is perfect or gets along, but where we all pitch in and do what's needed of us to make the trip easier, and we all work together to draw close to each other and God.

Planning

So yeah yesterday I had two of my friends over so we could plan our combined 16th Birthday party, and it was a lot of fun. We got a lot done, we were able to get almost all of our music together and we created our invitations. We had some issues with what we wanted, but eventually we all agreed on stuff, and it's all good now. So yeah life for now is good.
Oh yeah, and for those of you who care/don't care, I finished my 3rd chapter in my story. Which technically started out as my fourth, but I combined my 1st and 2nd into one, because it works better, and then I added Chapter 3, which is by far my favorite chapter yet...Anyways maybe someday I'll attach it, although the liklihood of that is slim.
So yeah, this is Zelos, actually getting things done,
Gotta get back to work.

Quote them...

Here's a thought for the mind:
"If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off." - My sister (who probably got it from someone else)
Just think about that for a second.
This is Zelos giving you a thought of the day.
Peace.

Productivity

It's sad that every day this summer I've had a plan of productive things I was going to do, and somehow I end up on facebook, or on the computer upstairs playing games... I just wish I knew some secret way to get myself to buckle down and do the things I know I should be doing right now...
Anyways this is Zelos,
Wish me luck.

Why is it?

Why is it that summer vacation seems so appealing when you're in school, but once you get there you aren't ever sure what to do with it...I've pretty much wasted away the first few days on computer, and now I'm bored with that, so I'm not really sure what to do anymore, so yeah...welcome to summer.
Anyways this is Zelos...maybe just a LITTLE bored...
See ya.

So Yeah...

...It's summer time...and the excitement has not quite begun yet. I have awesome plans, but they don't really start forming until about Thursday next week, SOOOOO... So far all I've really done this summer is hang out in the sun, work in the sun, and sit in front of a computer screen and waste my life away.
First off I have had some fun this summer, including a golf trip with my brother and dad, a swim party at one of my friend's houses, and a memorial day picnic with the coolest ward EVER and some of the coolest youth...but on the other hand I have done my fair share of labor (which earned me $38 dollars (which actually only lowered my debt to $17, but who really cares). I spent Saturday mowing my lawn (which paid $10) and weeding someone in my ward's garden (for FOUR hours straight...talk about a LOT of weeds), plus today I spent about 2 hours cleaning my room, (but it's REALLY, super clean now)...but all in all it's been a pretty good summer
This is Zelos...just plain rambling.

10 Things That Make Me Happy

This is random...but I needed to write something cheerful, instead of just thoughts...although these are thoughts too, but they're happy thoughts:
1. Sitting on the beach with someone I adore and watching the sun set.
2. Standing in a strong wind, and just letting the wind blow around me.
3. Sitting on a swing set with my best friend and just talking.
4. Holding my nephew in my arms (even if he does burp up all over me).
5. Going to the temple and knowing I'm worthy to enter the house of the Lord.
6. Doing anything with my family (Nicole, Gary, Ethan, Abby, and Jeff included).
7. Standing on the deck of a cruise ship at night and staring out into the ocean.
8. Getting lost in a good book (reading or writing it), and forgetting all about myself
9. Serving.
10. Finishing something, and knowing that I did it, without anyone else's help.
I actually have a lot of other things, but I think those are 10 of the top just off my head.
This is Zelos...and I can't think of anything else to say...
See ya.

Just Some Thoughts.

I've had a lot of different thoughts swirling around in my head ever since the AP Exam (I think my mind just kinda went crazy without APUSH occupying it 24/7).
It's weird what all this summer is going to bring on...my brother is going to move out after it's over and go on his mission, which, as excited as I am for it, will make me the only child at home (something that's never happened to me before...long term). Also, this summer I'm spending a whole month in Utah with my sister, her husband, and my nephew Ethan. I'm extremely excited, but part of me is afraid to go back for that long, I'm not really sure how I'll handle being so close to my old home, but having so much changed. I also turn 16 in July (the age that from when I was about 5 I always wanted to be), and I'll be ordained a Priest, just two months after I wasn't the only Teacher in my quorum...
I've also been thinking about me. Sometimes I just wonder if I made the right decisions in my first few months here...it's been three years, and I'm not sure if I'm happy where I am. My family is great, and my friends (most of the time) are also great...but I still wonder if there wasn't something I should have done in those months to make sure that I was happier now.
That all sounded a little selfish...but sometimes I don't think I've done anything worth while, or I'm not who I really want to be...I just wonder if there's anything I could have done to change that...
Anyways this is Zelos, thinking,
See ya.

Stress

Well I have a week of TOTAL AND UTTER STRESS!!! It's the AP Exam week which means that I have to STUDY for HOURS, EVERY night...I probably should be studying right now, but I just finished an hour of studying already, so I'm taking a break. Anyways I probably won't update again until the end of this week, and for those of you who see me on a day to day basis, prepare for a totally stressed and unhappy Zelos.
Anyways gotta get back to studying.
See ya.

Because Let's Face It I Won't Remember To Do It Later

I have a goal to spit out two blog entries a week, so that all my adoring fans out there will be able to hear from me twice, but the thing is I know I'll forget later, so I decided to do them both today. I guess I should give an update.
I'm actually starting to feel comfortable behind the wheel, and I am not hitting geese on County Line (unlike one of the kids in my Driver's Ed. car). I pretty much really don't have much else to talk about, unless you want me to get into English.
We are watching the Scarlet Letter in that class, and I think it is the all time worst movie I have ever seen, no joke. The set looks like it's made out of cardboard, the costumes all look like they belong in Shakespeare, at the most boring moments in the movie they have random dramatic music, the actors stink at acting, and the baby (Pearl) cries through the whole first twenty minutes. Yeah, that's what happened today.

Why Yes I Do Have Better Ways To Waste My Time, But I Prefer Wasting It With This

Because I am a good friend I decided to do this

Give Me Liberty

And no I don't mean the jail, or the school...
It should be summer vacation now. All I want right now is to be sixteen and to have two glorious months of freedom from the oppressive school system. This summer will be the most awesome thing since the phrase "Whatever shakes your cookie" (Seminary joke, don't even try to understand). I have a handcart trek for Youth Conference, Scout Camp, and a trip out to Utah to watch my nephew for (hopefully) a month, and a chance to see a certain somebody.
It's almost here, that glorious moment hanging on my horizon, just less than a month to struggle through.
Anyways this is Zelos hoping he can make it to summer,
Don't do drugs, they completely break the WOW (Word of Wisdom, not World of Warcraft, which is a game that I refuse to play).

Jealousy

So I just got the news today. My first reaction was sadness that she didn't tell me about it, and then there was jealousy. This probably hasn't made any sense yet, so here's the break down:
I got an e-mail today from one of my friends in Utah, and she talked about going to MORP (which for all of those readers who never went to that high school is a ladies' choice dance). This friend of mine described how they went and had an awesome time with their group. Then she made a teeny-tiny mention of a mutual friend we have who just happened to be in their group (and who also happens to be a previously mentioned girl in this blog). Now all of a sudden jealousy popped in. It's okay though, I'm good now, I just wish she'd write back...

*Sigh*

The high school's musical is officially over as of today. Now there's a whole year before the next one. After this year's epic performance, I'm not sure how I'll react to next year's. I'm particularly depressed, because I heard today they are taking apart the most wonderful set that our high school has probably ever created. It's a very sad day to anyone who was as impressed as me by the musical. Much sadness.

First Impressions...

Friday I learned something about myself and two other people.
I learned that I am way to quick to judge people. When I see someone hang out with someone I don't like, and who doesn't like me I automatically don't like the first person. It's a sad truth, but it does happen.
Friday in my first block class I had to grade papers with a girl that I have always thought was the dumbest, ditsiest blond ever. I never had much to do with her, but I figured that since she was a cheerleader who hangs out with ditzes who go out of their way to aggravate me, she'd be just like all her friends. I was so wrong. By the end of the block we weren't necessarily friends, but I felt stupid for judging her so quickly. We talked the whole block and joked around, and when she found out I was Mormon, she brought up Savannah and Sam, and we talked about them, it was fun.
The other girl was in my Drama class. She hangs out with the 'elite' (as in the snobs) of the class, but we got partnered together on something the day before. Friday she came up to me in the halls just to say hi. It was really surprising.
I was so surprised at the end of the day at how courteous a bunch of high school students could be. It really impressed me. I had to step back and think about myself for a bit, and I realized I am one of the least courteous kids at school, kinda sad eh?

Isn't It Amazing...

I've been completely and utterly stressed this week, I have had SOO much I've been needing/wanting to do. I got home today in a terrible attitude because on my walk home from school I had to stand on one side of a major street waiting seven minutes for the traffic to die. When I got home and checked my e-mail, guess what, I got an e-mail from one of my bestest friends in the whole world, and it totally made my day! It's not like all the stress disappeared, but the amazing thing is that just getting an e-mail from this person can change my day. Gotta love the power a great friend has.
Anyways this is Zelos.
Peace out!

For All those of You Who Think You Deserve an Explination...

YOU DON'T!!!! BWA-HAH-HAH!!!!
Anyways, that's not what this post is going to be about, don't worry. Today I was a real live TECHIE!!!!! Now some of you might not understand how monumental that is so let me break things down for you.
1. I = Actor with no talent in painting, lighting, or ladder moving (If the ladder exceeds two stories)
2. Techie = Light master, ladder (of two story length or longer) mover, set painter, and all the other cool techie things
3. Me+Paint+School floors and walls=One big black mess.
Anyways that wasn't very descriptive, so here's how it went down:
Our school is putting on a musical. The dress rehersal is tonight, which means that the set has to be competely finished. The set was not completely finished when I went to Beginning Drama today, so that's what the class did. I was assigned to paint some random stuff out in the hall black (with other people). We were pretty successful, minus the new black stains on the floor and wall.
Anyways today I suddenly gained a real appreciation for the fact that I am not a techie, but that there are people who enjoy doing stuff like that.
The best part about being a techie is that my dialogue partner wasn't anywhere near me, which meant that she couldn't get all RAWR!!! when she was blaming me for her screw ups.

10 Things I Wish I Could Have Said at the Pefect Moment

1. I really, REALLY like you, and I want to spend as much of my time as possible with you.

2. Because you were my friend my life became wonderful.

3. How can you blame me for screwing up the lines? Was I the one who missed three lines on the memorization test...no I think I made a 100. (Inspired by Drama)

4. We used to do everything together. Was it me who changed, or was it you?

5. You inspired me to fix my screwed up life.

6. I think I'm falling in love.

7. You think that you're so cool, with that tomato squashed on your face.

8. Should I be worried that you've been on three dates in three days?

9. Does tearing me down make you feel better, because if so, I pity you.

10. I'm sorry.

This post was inspired by Manda, all thanks for the idea should go to her. Although I'm not sure if she reads my blog, so yeah.

Sudden Realization That I Probably Should Have Already Realized!

Today is my oldest brother's (not the one I'm struggling with) BIRTHDAY. I have no idea how old he is...wait add eight years to me, plus another year...23...I think, my math might be totally wrong.
So yeah HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF (although you don't read my blog...so yeah that was kind of pointless. Oh well I wasted someone's time!)
This is Zelos wishing his brother a happy Birthday,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The Swing Side

I've decided for every angsty entry I post I should probably make up for it withs something awesome that happened in my life the same day (starting today, not yesterday)
English today was awesome I have so many friends in that class, it's like lunch all over again (minus my dictator teacher, more like lunch at my middle school). Anyways today we were working on skits (reality TV skits), and I'm in a group with three of my best friends (Louise, Candy, and Dannie) and our idea is hillarious. We lauged all through practicing it (I hope the performance is better). We're doing something where Louise, Candy, and I are all bouncing reality TV show ideas off Dannie, and she's turning them all down (ex. Mime Time Television (all mime all the time), Cooking With Salt...BAM!!!, Living in Alaska...WITH BEARS!!!, and some other things). It's amazing, I'd show it to you, but then you could stalk me, and I don't really like stalkers...sorry.
Anyways yeah this is Zelos who is actually happy (it's amazing what friends do),
Peace Out!

GRRRR...

Two words:
GRADUATION EXAMS!!!!!!!
Currently they are the bane (ha ha Gregor) of my existance (I might have used bane wrong, or it might not be a word...I hate grammar). All they're good for is eating up hours of your life, screwing up the schedule, and (the only good thing) getting me out of AP US History. Now I really wouldn't mind them except the fact you would have to try to fail them (so their pointless) and they completely mess me up. I walk into first period at fourth period time so suddenly I think that school just started and I panic, and then I'm all terrified I didn't do my homework, and then I look at my watch and realize that I really only have one more period to struggle through...it just confuses me. Tommorow is going to be the worst of all though...BIOLOGY!!!! Now let's think about this for a second, before this year they had a science exam (which covered Biology) which I passed, but someone somewhere decided that students didn't have enough to struggle with, so heck let's just add another freaking exam on top that covers everything that these kids have already forgotten. Let's face it what state needs Graduation Exams in the first place??? And then add on TWO science exams, why not make two math or two history (we already have two English, but that makes sense) heck why not make an exam for every stinking day of the school year?
On the bright side some of the Sophmores were asking a Junior friend of mine what the language portion was. He told them that their were thirty Spanish questions, thirty French questions, thirty German questions, and ten Latin questions. The Sophmores all freaked because they hadn't taken Latin, and he told them that he just guessed and passed. I lauged a lot when I heard that, gotta love the Drama kids eh?
Anyways this is Zelos surviving through one more day of exams.
See ya.

Back Up, Leave Me Alone, or I'll Scream!!!

You know those times you love your siblings...this past year those times have gotten fewer then usual. On all accounts I have an awesome family, but when I became more motivated and headstrong and my brother became less motivated and annoying...let's just face it that kind of strained the brotherly love.
Anyways yesterday, and the day before both had those moments when it was just time to go to my room and just rant and rave to the walls, and then avoid my brother for a while. It's all good though, until something else happens. I think we both have realized that the best way to keep our family trial free (well as trial free as possible) is just to stay away from each other for a while.
Anyways I know that 3-12 months from when he moves out(depends on how much he annoys me from now until he moves out) I'll miss him, but for now I just want to tell him: "Back up, leave me alone, or I'll scream."
If you've had older siblings I hope you understand, but then again I don't know if there are many people like me and my brother, so maybe not.
Anyways I'll try to get back to my normal self in a few moments, but I feel you don't know me well unless you understand my relationships with my family.
See ya,
Zelos

Nephew

Okay so I hope the picture was added, anyways this would be my nephew if it got on.
His names Ethan.

Actor

I LOVE DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!
Okay that might have been over the top, but I think I finally found the perfect place for me in my high school. I was stuck in Beginning Drama this year because all my other choice classes were all filled up. I was sincerelly debating changing out of it into Spanish 3, but when I got in the first day I realized how big a mistake that would have been. I'm not saying I have any talent, but the Drama department likes people who are a little weird...and trust me I am weird...so it's all good.
I don't really know how to explain why it clicked, but when it did I was so happy that I had finally found a social group. I always have had friends, don't get confused, and I don't love everyone in Drama, but I spent a weekend with Drama kids, and it was one of the best weekends of my life. I guess when you have a church group that amazes you, a group of friends that are extremely close, and an actual school social group you fit in with, life can't get much better.
Anyways this is the Actor
Zelos is out.

A Change of Outlook

I always thought I had it hard. I have an aweful case of acne, I'm not that strong, I have bad hair, bad looks, I got the worst of the gene pool, my friends and family all know the perfect ways to get under my skin, and insist on doing it all the time. Last night I learned how great my life is.
My mom, dad, and I were at our ward's choir practice, when half way through a man came in and sat in the back rows and just watched. My dad went down to talk to him (he's in the Bishopric, but I don't think that's why he did it), and it turned out he was hoping someone would give him a ride to a town around twenty miles. The man was homeless, carless, and moneyless. He had hitch-hiked all the way to his friend's house twenty miles away. When he got there his friend wasn't there, so he turned around and started walking back. He got a ride down to our church, and then the driver said maybe he could find a ride inside, so he went inside.
My dad and I had the opportunity to give him a ride back to his town. It really changed my outlook on life, he usually stayed at Salvation Army, but it had closed that night, so he told us he'd find a place tonight to stay and then tomorrow night he'd go to Salvation Army.
I can't imagine a life like that. My biggest worries are all lame in comparrison, I don't have to wake up worrying about whether or not I'll have a roof over my head that night, I always have enough food in the fridge, in fact I have enough that I can waste some. I've always heard of homeless people, but meeting one brought the reality home to me. Those are the people that I want to be able to do something for someday. I guess I just realized how blessed my family and I are, and I'm happy that I have my life.
With something to think about,
This is Zelos signing off.

Meh...

My life is pretty much as normal as it ever has been. I just felt bad for not writing in a while, and I know I'm letting down all my adoring fans, but hey what do you expect from me. I guess I'll just talk for a while about random stuff, so here goes.
First off I spent all day at school today fasting (can we say painful?) for my favorite teacher's little girl who has all sorts of health issues, and the like. It was not shall we say my favorite experience in the world (with the peanut butter Cap'n Crunch, Dum-Dums, gum, Choclate kisses, chicken fingers, seasoned rice, and jelly beans all offered), but I did manage to make it through.
Secondly I've finally got back into writing (all though my blog may not prove that), and it's going okay. Someday I might publish on this blog...but for now, sorry I'll keep personal things to myself.
Third I got a letter from one of my best friends in the world this past Friday and it hasn't left my side since.
Anyways see ya,
Zelos

Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here

That's what the sign above the door to my AP US History classroom says... a little scary isn't it??? Well the fact is the sign should read "Abandon hope all ye who enter here without having done your homework." That class is next to impossible to understand if you don't do your homework (sounds like voice of experience, doesn't it?). Lately I've been good about doing my homework in that class, I do the assigned work, plus all the other work I missed early this year...but today was different. I'll confess that last night I did not do my homework (:O) and guess what...I had to sign a sheet that said "I didn't do my homework on the account that I am a LOSER"...talk about major damage to the ego right there...or maybe not, I dunno, it was just kinda sad, and depressing, and maybe kinda sad (yes I know I said sad twice). Anyways that was super random...but that's what Beginning Drama does to a student...
It's a wonderful day to be a thespian,
Zelos

Talents

One day a boy named Zelos was sitting around thinking about how he wanted to have as many talents as everyone else when a sudden realization hit him. In the parable of the talents that Christ told at some point in the New Testament, (you can tell Zelos knows the Bible real well) the Lord of all those three people didn't give them the same amount of talents, it didn't really matter to him, what did matter was how they used the talents. It mattered most to the receiver of the one talent, why was he meant to get only one talent? Did his master hate him, or just love the others more? Zelos doesn't think that's the case, he thinks the master loved them all, but he might have seen potential in that one, thinking if he only tried maybe he could get more then the others. Of course Zelos could have made all that up, but he likes to think that although he doesn't feel like he has as many talents as others, maybe his master saw some potential in him, knowing if he tries harder then the others he'll be able to come home with just as many talents as the others.
This is Zelos telling you a story
C U.

Jeff and Abby

January 2nd was the day my brother actually got married, and for a kid who's lived in the south for two and a half years, going back to Utah is a harsh return to reality in the winter. We drove all the way, which meant three long days in a car with my family, and don't get me wrong, I love my family...but after three days...well it's not such a fun thing. We got out of the car in Logan, and I was so tempted to get back in, and tell my parents we needed to go back south, but I didn't, because that would have meant I wouldn't get to see anyone. Anyways it was pretty awesome being out there, my other sister Nicole was SUPER pregnant, and that was bizarre. We had a few days in Utah before the wedding, which we spent with Nicole, and her husband Gary, and on occasion Jeff and Abby. When wedding day finally did come, we drove an hour down to Bountiful where they were getting married in the temple (since the Logan one wasn't open yet), and I got to spend all that time in the waiting room (which I also did for Nicole). Then we drove around Bountiful for a little before the wedding breakfast, and then we went to that. I learned this fun little game (if you don't mind PDA too much) where a group of people would start hitting their glass with their utensils, and then the bride and groom would have to kiss, it annoyed me at first, but then I thought it was kinda cool. After that we drove up to Brigham City where we spent a little time at Nicole's father-in-law's house where I saw the beginning of Bourne Ultimatum. Then we went to Abby's old ward building where the reception was, and I got to see a lot of people from my old ward including my second family, the Hendricksons. Jeff made fun of me when he saw me talking to their daughter (who just happens to be one of my best friends, and my age), but it was worth it. After the thing was finally over we headed back up to Logan where our hotel was. The next day I went out and gave myself a tour of Utah State University campus, and I must say I fell in love. My brother (the youngest sibling, but older then me, and single) and I went to Jamba Juice after that, and if you've never had a Jamba Juice smoothie your life is not complete. After that day we had to drive all the way back down to the south...and that was the amazing trip we went on over Christmas. I would add more detail, but I'm afraid I've already bored you to tears... so I guess it's time to go.
This is Zelos signing off,
Hasta la vista.
