Last night I had a really odd dream, that I never thought Id have.
I was sitting on my driveway doing drugs of some kind. Out in the open and I was so afraid people were going to see me.
They looked like they were pixie sticks or something. And I took alot.
I remeber getting really sick and my brother found out. He said he was going to tell my parents. But all I said is " scott I know what you do "
Then he started crying. All I wanted to do was hug him. But since iv never hugged my brother in dream or reallife land. All I could do was watch him.
And I asked him what it was like.
But anyways. haha. I dont know what THAT means . On a diffrent note.
Its crazy the things you find out about some people if you just listen to them.
Iv found out so many things id never thought id hear by hanging out with people who arent "christian" per say. Iv kind have broken the seal on my "magical la la land bubble" that so many of us dalminites live in.
But lately the most acceptance iv found is in the "non christian" group of people. They are the ones being the nicest to me while the "christians" talk about me behind my back. ( dont get me wrong. Im not saying I dont . Because then Id lie. and that makes me sad...and something im trying to change.)
But iv found the nicest people iv met dont go to youth or church. I find theyre more real. and have alot more to say about life.
Im sure your all thinking. Holy crap Steph is gonna go through her rebellion stage and start doing drugs.
But no. Im not. Iv seen what drugs do to people.
Im just sick and tired of christians thinking that non christians deserve to be judged like that. If there seen on the street on the weekend were all thinking " oh HES hammerd.."" I bet HES stoned"
Iv really come to appreciate those who dont come to youth. I love them to bits. They are some of the nicest. Most accepting. Real people iv met, I just wish everyone else would see that too
( and im not saying all christians do this either. I just have a select few in mind that im sick of their attitiude on this subject so im sorry if you took offence to it.)
Sorry if this made no sense whatsoever I just had to get it out.

[This picture eventually applys. I swear]
So I just got back from the Bella concert ( Woo hoo Dalmeny fame ) And it was incredible. They are so good live and are just a bunch of goofs. I love it when bands have fun instead of totaly looking like they dont belive in the concept of fun. haha.
Honestly though. It was so surreal at the start.
Let me set the mood for those of you who havent been to the bassment
So we walk in this really skinny staircase. Into a Unusually dark room ( well to me anyways. Never really been to a "bar/music club" before )
And theres people sitting around. We go sit at a table in the corner near the bar and I look over the area
I see some normal looking kids, You know. Normal clothes..normal...youthfull age.
Upon scanning over the crowd. I stop at a man whos standing by the bar. By himself. Hes in a tux. Hes older, and hes holding a martini. Im thinking. What in the world?
Then. If he couldnt possibly look stranger. The band that was playing before Bella. Called him up and , Yup. Auctioned him off " for one night "
After a bit of coaxing and guilting the crowd the band got the ladies up to 5 dollars. Yep. A guy who looks like hes worth $800 ( not in looks wise but dress and,...martini wise) Goes for 5 dollars.
All I could do but laugh. And pinch myself because I thought I was dreaming. and there were no light switches around to flick on and off ( If you dont know what I mean by that. Ask me? )
Oh to make the situation more surreal. Yeah. Josh Palmer was sitting behind us. By himself. Looking depressed. So....that was cool/weird I guess.
Oh But the tunes were great. The band first was called....uuuh.....C...something ( someone help me out ) And they were decent, They were like a 7 peice indie band kind of thing.
They had the whole violin, harp, trombone, trumpet, piano, drums, guitar, ( hahahaha does anyone remember that guy who came to sell magazines at our school..."who wants the stuie doll" He was DEFINATLY the drummer which also adds to the surreal...ity)
I loved the music and the lyrics. they were so random. but I wasnt crazy over the guys voice. Although it did remind me of bright eyes
The cool thing was is the violin player ( also he was dressed in like 80s workout clothing) played his violion like a guitar at one point and plugged it in to the...( im risking looking like an idiot here) Distortion? thing. Sorry I dont know what its called. But it sounded sweet
Bella was TONS of fun. There music just makes you want to get up and dance no matter how mennonite you think you are. ( No im not mennonite. im just making a point )
Cam is such a nut it was halarious watching that guy. Pretty much my favorite. And then they all started doing a robot...type thing. Which i thought was pretty sweet if i do say so myself.
They got everyone standing up and dancing dispite Kerris moms attempts to sit everyone down because she couldnt see.
So good job guys. Although I doubt anyone from Bella reads this. Haha.

Some things are better left unsaid. Sometimes I just dont want to know because It breaks my heart to know I have no effect on what he does. Nothing can be done thats right in my mind.
I guess all thats left to do is pray.
[ I wouldn't mind some of you to pray for this as well. Actually, Id really appreciate it.
I know none of you know what im talking about and im not about to post it bluntly on my blog for the whole world to see. So I dunno. Thanks in advance for the blind prayer I guess? Sorry if this whole thing made no sense. ]

Ugh this is one of those times where I feel like I should be saying something profound. But nothings coming out.
Oh well. Ill just bore you again with my crazy antics....
I just watched the breakfast club. One of my favorite movies
It has a scene that is on my top 10 list of favorite movie scenes. Where they are dancing around at the end. You know...If youve seen it im sure you know what im talking about.
Which reminds me. Since its quarter to 2 and im not tired at all. Im going to bore you with my top 10 movie scenes ( in no praticular order )
1. The Breakfast Club - When there dancing around. As I explained before.
2. Waynes World - Where there driving around in the car listening to bohemian rapsody
3. Donnie Darko - Where hes talking to Frank in the movie theatre ( also that scene contains one of my favorite movie lines which is ( Donnie : Why are you wearing that stupid rabbit suit?
Frank: Why are you wearing that stupid man suit? )
4. Monty Python Search For The Holy Grail - tim the enchanter
5. Grease - the ending song"we go together" Except that they fly away in a car. Thats dumb
6. Phantom of the Opera - The mirror scene. Where he takes her into his lair with the 80s music in the background haha
7. The Wizard of Oz - The lady pedaling on the bicycle outside Dorothys bedroom window as the house is caught in the center of the tornado
8. Edward Scissor Hands - The very end scene when she explains how she knows hes still alive or when she dances in the snow from his ice sculptures
9. Donnie Darko - When hes in the psyciatrists office when he sees Frank
10. Almost famous - When they are on the bus singing hold me closer tiny dancer
Well there you have it. Boring enough for you? I hope so.

I hate seeing people after not seeing them for like a year. Someone youve got to know over a certain period of time and you once considerd them a close friend.
its like every little conversation and everything that you have done together has just come undone. all that time of knowing each other has dissappeard.
Thats why I hate not keeping in touch with people I really got to know or enjoyed during the summer. I always say im going to keep in touch. You know. Go for coffee. And plans always fall through.
You know. I try maybe once or twice but after that I completly give up. And it sucks.
Everyone whos reading this from camp or ...anywhere where that I cant keep in touch. Lets keep it up?
I dont want to have another one of those awkward experinces passing you by in a mall and not being sure that you recognize or even know me anymore. Iv had it happen one to many times and its kind of depressing.
Anyways...dun dun dun dun!! heres a boys rant. woo hoo! so if you dont feel like listening to me whine. I suggest you close this box. HA!
I have pretty much decided to give up on guys yet again. It's just not worth getting all excited about. I go to school and I am surrounded by attractive (and not so attractive males) and none of them show a smidgen of interest in me.
I only know a few superficially, and there's no reason to drool over guys that aren't into me or share my beliefs.
I've always been honest when the subject comes up: i'm waiting for a guy to pursue me. People act like i'm crazy when i admit that (that i want the guy to make the first move). They act like, "How can you honestly expect a guy to have the guts to make the first move?!?"
People ALWAYS try to convince EVERYONE that you dont need to date in highschool but why are we supposed to be independent, not need anyone, and act as if we're perfect? I'm not perfect, i hate being independent, and i do need someone. I need God, but i also feel incomplete being single, even when He's overflowing my heart with love and joy. Why should i be ashamed to admit that?
When God created Adam and all the animals He saw that Adam was alone and lonely, that there was no companion suitable for him, and so He made one (Genesis 2:18-24)! And so if God did that for Adam and Eve i believe that i am designed to perfect one man's life just as he is designed to perfect mine. God made us for each other.
Anyways, i'm just so sick of thinking about it all the time. Every time i meet a guy i think: "Could he be the one?" And of course he's not. He's not interested. He's attractive, he's nice, but he's not him.
They always say that you'll find him when you stop looking for him (who in the world is "they" anyway? it drives me wild how they always feel that they're an authority about my life) you'll find him. So i gave up on guys. I didn't find one (i thought i might have, but we never got past the crush stage: he didn't want to be friends even, apparently).
I slowly started looking again as i got more and more lonely, more and more desperate. I still haven't found him and now i'm a whiney damsel in distress. I don't want that. I don't want to be imagining up situations where prince charming comes and rescues me--because quite honestly i don't know that i'd want him rescuing me even if he did come--but i'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that maybe that's exactly who God designed me to be (the damsel in distress).
As much as i hate to admit it, i want to be rescued, too. Not that i want my husband to replace God in my life, but i just don't feel complete being single, either.
Now i know that a lot of people are saying to themselves right now: "You don't need or want a guy, you don't know how lucky you are," and, "See the world while you still can," etc.
F rankly i don't want to see the world alone. Sure, i want to go on the Amazing Race but have no one to do it with. I want to travel around the world, but not alone. ... i just want to at least find a guy to give me my first kiss.
That's not life... it's holding my breath and waiting for life to begin. I'm sick of it. I don't want to find some random guy and date him, but i'm tired of crushes not getting past eye tag and long conversations where we click but nothing happens.
I've never even been asked out on a date. I'm so tired of waiting. I know i'm weak, i know i should have more patience, because yeah. I am only 17. But with all the dating mumbo jumbo going on around me. every corner I turn makes me want to be in that position...just once.
But it never happens.
It's in God's hands and He'll have it timed out all sweet and perfect. But im the most impatient person ever so its gonna be hard but i will wait for God to send ....someone
Ill just have to suck it up and wait some more I guess.

My weekends actually turning around. For one thing. I dont care about the below post. Im done caring. And my day went really well starting last night.
Me and my dad watched hitchikers guide to the galaxy last night. Two words for you. SO FUNNY!
Thats exactly my kind of movie. So random
The following was one of my favorite quotes, although, it is long. so im sorry
The Book: It is important to note that suddenly, and against all probability, a Sperm Whale had been called into existence, several miles above the surface of an alien planet. Since this isn't a naturally terrible position for a whale, this innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity. This is what it thought, as it fell;
The Whale: Ahhh! Woooh! What's happening? Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I?
Okay okay, calm down calm down get a grip now. Ooh, this is an interesting sensation. What is it? Its a sort of tingling in my... well I suppose I better start finding names for things. Lets call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, what's this roaring sound, whooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind! Is that a good name? It'll do. Yeah, this is really exciting. I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or is it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now isn't it? And what's this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! That's it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello Ground!
[Hits ground and dies ]
My favorite character though was definatly the manic depressed robot Marvin

Is that not the most depressing robot youve ever seen?
Haha...Oh man. I know a bunch of people didnt like it but i loved it.
But on with my day today me and my dad went into the city looking for cameras for me on my birthday ( woo hoo 22 days away! ) And I found the PERFECT camera that im going to get. for cheap too! so im pretty pumped.
Also we stopped at starbucks and as I was waiting they forgot to make my order so I had to wait a while.
Most people would think this was a bad thing. but as a result I got a free coffee cupon! woot!
And the fall supper is tonight. hoo-jah

I woke up to my mom singing christmas songs because it snowed last night...That was...Pleasant, haha.I love snow. Well the first snow anyways. It loses its novelty after christmas.
I had a cruddy start to my day today. But my days been good because I got to walk to school in the snow and that means I can soon start making snow angels. Go christmas caroling. push others into the snow. and the most exciting part is i can now start listening to christmas carols as soon as I get home. woo
Oh I know. Snow is going to get old very quickly. But im enjoying it until it gets to that point.
There are a few questions I don’t have answers to, none of them are really important, but I’m interested in the answers anyway.
Why, for instance, don’t many people use pocket watches, cups with the mustache guards, or those handy little walking sticks?
I guess they could be seen as weapons, ok scratch the last one.
But honestly, why do dogs find a portion of flooring and decide to lick it? I’ve seen many a dog do this and I thought, “What could be so tasteful on that specific part of the floor?”
What makes people so grossed out about different foods touching on the plate before eating them? Are they traveling to a different place? Yes, they must be taking a different route to the same exit.
Who invented sporks, and why? Maybe it was to give me another thing to think about, clearly, there isn’t enough.
When and why was it ever established that pink-is-for-girls and blue-is-for-boys?
Is there a time in life when I’ll forget to laugh at myself or remember that taking a chance is not a future regret unless I don’t learn something?
What makes us selfish? Love? Hate? War?
What makes us love unconditionally, forgive and become selfless?
. Am I wasting your time?
