I will jump right into the story.
My sister, Katie( We call her KT, how cool is that?) and I were going to see my other sister Emily. While we were driving(or I should say KT was driving) my finger started hurting a lot. When I looked I discovered the culprit for my pain was a miniature sliver.
I began to do what any other normal teenager would have done. I tried to push the painful piece of wood out.
While in much pain, I looked up to see this annoying car next to us who kept blocking us in. This whole event caused my sister to speed up and get out then pass and then it would happen all over again.
Of course, the next thing we see is flashing blue and red lights. KT groaned and pulled over. I looked at the approaching policeman with interest in my side mirror and then decided the sliver was more interesting.
The sliver was almost out when I heard a knock on the window. It was the policeman. I had never before been pulled over so what I did next is completely understandable.
I opened the door. No harm done right? Wrong. That day was extremely windy. When I opened the door, the wind pushed my car door right into the face of the man. I gasped as he stumbled back and rubbed his chin.
All I could think was, "I'm going to prison for assaulting a policeman!"
"I am so sorry Officer" I squeaked, so I'm not sure how much he understood of my mouse impersonation, but he seemed to understand I did not mean to hurt him.
When he came back to give us a warning about speeding, I made sure I rolled down the window rather than opening the door.
Thankfully, we were soon again on our way. We got to Emily's house without any other incident, unless you count not being able to find a McDonalds anywhere!!
After settling down at Emily's house I took the liberty of checking how much the fine was for assault. I was surprised to find it was zero to five years in prison and up to $5,000. I'm glad the law enforcement officer understood I was innocent.
Always be careful when opening a door, you could do some serious damage.

Story of my Life
Hey!!
Ok, so for the past few weeks I have been preparing for finals so I have not had much time to write a post(mainly because I have been busy watching movies and reading books of course, never would I actually study. :) ) I thought I would share a few stories which I found humorous in hope of helping you smile today.
First, I am very blessed to have my married sister and her family living in the same town as myself. This means I have the great opportunity to see my nieces on a very regular basis.
My niece has a doll which she refers to as "Baby". One night we were getting ready to eat when my mom looked out the window. She called my niece over to look outside. This was the view.
I thought it was quite entertaining. "We are lucky she wasn't kidnapped." My mom muttered. HAHA!!
Next order of business, when my mom and I were going to Utah, we couldn't help but notice my window was fogged up incredible but hers was clear as day.
Pictures are as follows:
My window
My mom's.
My mom said it was either because I'm so "hot"( haha my mom called me hot) or I was angry and full of hot air.
Who knows? Have a great 1/11/11!! It should be great. Remember to wish a great wish at 11:11 today!!
Until next time

Welcome 2011
Good Evening!
Let's see, during the past two weeks I have been in and out of my house( LA, my sister's, Utah, and home), I wrote and finished a book(It is a Christmas Story and I really like it!! :) ), received a ton of presents in all forms, and started the the newest year 2011!!
Overall, I believe it has been pretty exciting.
When my parents and I went down to LA, we were going to a traditional Christmas party which was started by my grandparents. We figured it all out, and this party has been going on for 47 years!! How's that for tradition?
We were in Utah for the New Years with my other grandma and it was freezing, though it didn't snow at all( which I still feel cheated about).
My latest book which I'm hoping to edit soon and then send in is, as I said before, a Christmas story. It is the "true" story of Santa Clause. It was extremely fun writing it. I had told myself I would finish writing it before the New Year so yesterday, I was sitting at my laptop for about 8-9 hours making sure I met my deadline.
Presents included my favorite candy in the world: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, a single serve blender(which is AMAZING!!), makeup, a nativity set from Germany, polka-dot pajamas, and many others presents which helped to make this season the best their was.
My sister is on an 18 month mission in Canada, and we were allowed to speak with her on Christmas Day. It was great to hear her voice and learn about all her experiences since she has been in a new country.
Last, we have all moved into a new year: 2011. It will be a great year, I can feel it, full of joy, love, and happiness. And even though it will also be filled with sorrow, we must remember to press on and continue to do all we can to become better people.
Today in 1/1/11. So tonight at 11:11 P.M. will be the time to make the best wish of all. Me? I'm going to ask to become a better writer.
Have a great New Years Day(What's left of it), and a great New Year. Bring on 2011!

Girls reading girls
Good Afternoon!
I was in my German class when I noticed that my friend David was not his usual happy self. The conversation that followed went a little like this.
Me: What's wrong David?
David: My girlfriend Brooke is mad at me and I don't know why!
At this point I turned into my professional girl mode. There was a perfectly logical reason that Brooke was mad and it was my job to discover what that reason was.
Me: What happened before you knew she was mad at you?
David: Well, I was going to take her out to lunch and as we were walking to my car her brother came up to us and said, "Brooke can I come?" She said to ask me to which I said sure. I mean, come on, I don't want to get on bad terms with her brother. That is a big mistake. Then she goes, "Never mind, I'm not that hungry anyway. I'll see you later David." And then she leaves in a huff and . . .yeah.
Ok I felt bad for the guy but it was just too easy to know what was upsetting Brooke.
Me: When she said "Go ask David" did she give you a look?
David(voice turning from normal to hysterical): What do you mean a look. I mean she looked at me, but I don't know what kind of look. What are you talking about??
Me: Did she say "Go ask David" with a shrug or "Go ask David"?
David: The second one.
Me: (sigh). Clearly she wanted you to say no. This was a time that you two were going to have together, obviously not something she wanted her brother to tag along to.
David: (he put his head in his hands and groaned.) Why can't she just tell me? Why are girls so complicated?
Me: Stop mopping, we need to get Brooke to like you again. Have you texted her?
David: Like a million times.
Me: Give me your phone. (He handed it to me and I texted a message to her, something I knew she would want to read; it was just pleading with Brooke to forgive David and how sorry he was. I passed it to David to make sure that everything was written the way he would write it.)
David: (reading the text) I really screwed up didn't I?
Me: You just made a mistake, what is important is that you can learn from it and fix it.
Me: Send this to her and let's see what happens. You were going to take her to lunch today? Take her out to dinner tonight or lunch tomorrow. And you buy her flowers. Do something a little extra special.
David: What do I do when this happens again?
Me: It depends on the look, but if she gives The Look again, just say "No" to her brother with a wink and all will be just fine.
That is my story. Maybe I should start a "Reading Girl's for Dummies" blog. It could be interactive and everything!! Wow, that would be a good idea!
Well, to end the story, David and Brooke are happy again, and every time David sees me, he gives me a big thumbs up and says "Thanks Bex!"
Boys: Good luck with the ladies.
Ladies: Give the good guys a break. They really are clueless. :)
Have a great day!!

Back!
Hello again
Funny story:
Today was my Grandpa's birthday and for it, he treated my mom and I to the most elegant place to eat in town: Taco Bell. As we were going home, my mom started a conversation. Being in the back seat, I was able to witness the whole conversation. you are now privy to my great experiences as an American Teen. It started like this.
Mom: Are you going to make your colonoscopy appointment when we get back home?
Just as my mom slammed on the brakes to avoid getting crushed in the middle of the intersection while running a yellow. I couldn't help but smile and think "yeah, great conversation for a teenager to be hearing. TMI!!"
Grandpa: You know what is amazing about that?
At this point I was slightly worried thinking that my Grandpa thought that it was amazing to have something shoved up your. . . Apparently having to walk uphill to school both ways in the snow distorts one's idea of amazing. Who knew?
Grandpa: Tires. It is absolutely amazing that they can have so much traction on a wet road.
My mom glanced at me from the rear view mirror in a worried fashion obviously wondering if she had misheard my Grandpa. I looked at her as if to confirm I had no idea how he had made the transition from a colonoscopy to a tire.
Mom: How are a colonoscopy and a tire related?
I decided to help my mom realize how my Grandpa's mind obviously worked.
Me: Well, a tire as well as the normal buttocks is round.
This little speech was met by stunned silence. I felt the need to explain myself further.
Me: Not to mention that they both have a hole. Though the sizes are not exactly similar.
It was a moment before my Grandpa burst into a breathless laughter after which my mom started to convulse when her abdominal muscles stated a vigorous workout.
I was slightly worried about my safety given the fact that I highly doubted that my mother could see much considering the amount of liquid which was literally pouring from her eyes. Luckily we made it safely back home and I was the only one who didn't look like I had just drained my tear ducts.
Anyway, here are some pictures. What do you think? Could they get confused? I have yet to come to a conclusion.
See you later!!

Good. . . Midday
I just watched The Lake House for the first time in forever yesterday. I had forgotten how amazing it is. Sandra( I know it makes me sound cooler that I am by calling her by her first name) is amazing as usually. And the chemistry between and her co-actor(whose name escapes me and I'm too lazy to go and look it up) leaves me speechless. I cannot express how much I want a guy who would do everything his character does for her in that movie. I've decided I will marry that character (announcements will be posted shortly)! I haven't seen them together in any other movie but TLH but I've heard they are always amazing together. I believe she is my favorite actress and he is up on my list for favorite actors. He just seems so sweet!! Who are your favorite actors/actresses? And remember, nothing crude or cruel!
Until next time,
Bex
