Fire!

Last Tuesday was a very interesting Tuesday Morning. Unexpectedly my mom wakes me up at around 5 o'clock in the morning (I usually get up at around 6 or 6:30). She wanted me to wake up with her because she thought there was an electrical problem. I didn't want to get up so then she was like Laura Beth you need to get up with me I'm smelling burning rubber and I think something is smoking in the kitchen. Well, with that information I got up really quick. As soon as I walked into the kitchen I smelled it too. My sister's room is in the basement and my mom said all that she could think about was the circuits and electrical box being down there and so was my sister so my mom made me call Jessica to get upstairs. So I did. My mom was trying to decide whether there was a fire or what was going out- she was freaking out, and by that time I was crying because I thought the house was going to burn down. My sister kept saying Mom, just call 911! So we all went outside and mom called 911. When the firefighter's got there, there were about 6 firetrucks, Lined up and down West 5th Street Road and Dalton Street (my house is on the corner.) With my dad being away in Wisconsin my mom hadn't a clue what to do, so she called one of our old neighbors, Donald and Jennifer, that now live a street over and they came over to be with us. When they got there, the firefighters were already in the house and everything. We were just outside waiting. I didn't have any contacts in or anything, so I couldn't see. My shirt was on wrong-side out and on backwards, so the tag was sticking out on the front. I had on PJ pants and house shoe boots and my hair was in a messy bun on top of my head. By that time I put my contacts in. Then, the firefighter's turn on the big BRIGHT spotlights and I'm thinking, how fun a bright spot light shined on me for all the neighbors to see my when I'm dressed in this, LOL but I didn't care at that point. My uncle Jody, Andy, and cousin Terrill are all firefighters but none of them were on call at the time. One of the firefighters saw a sign in our basement that says "Fiorella's Pool Hall" and he asked which Fiorella lived here and my mom said Jerry Pat and they knew him... of course, haha. Anyways to sum it all up, the problem wasn't our fault. OMU had a break in the lines outside supposedly and no "neutral electricity" was running to our house and our breaker box was like sparking and catching on fire and heating up really quick. The firefighter said if we didn't call within the next 10 minutes or so... the wood floor panels that seperate the basement to the upstairs would have caught fire. Now, we have our electricity fixed and everything, but it shorted out a bunch of our appliances. Our microwave, a refridgerator in the basement, some florescent lights in the basement, and a surge protector for our computer. So OMU will pay for all that which is good and our house is back to normal again (:

Movie Ratings!

Okay so this past Sunday I went to the movies with Alexus, her little sister Maddie, and her friend Sarah. We went to go see Avatar-3D. I was bored at first but as the movie progressed it got better. The movie ended up being like 3 HOURS LONG. The worst part of it was it cussed WAY TOO MUCH! It was rated PG-13 but it shouldn't have been! It said the GD word like 20 times no joke. It said the B word, the D word, and I'm pretty sure the F word at least once. It pretty much said all the words you can imagine! Everytime it said one I just turned to Alexus and looked at her like OMG. There has to be some sort of restriction on which words and how many times they are said. If there aren't then there really should be because I'm sure there are a lot of movies out there that are rated wrong.

In this movie it says: "Moderately strong language used by Military Men"

Trademarks!

Alexus Rae Sinnett: Her trademark would have to be the Louisville Cardinals and her car. When I hear her name these are the two things that I immediately think of. Her dad and her are Louisville fans and my dad and I are UK fans. At her dad's house they have a Louisville flag outside, that's how I know which house is hers, lol. When she stays the night with me she always sleeps in either Louisville PJ pants or shorts. Alexus' car.... That's a very fun topic to talk about (: I loooove riding in Alexus car. We always have fun listening to the CD's that we make at my house. We have fun in her car singing the songs and cruising around. Oh and when I say have fun we're safe too, haha don't worry everyone. Alexus is a greaaaaaaat driver (:



Sarah Caitlin Wilhite: Her trademark is probably her laughter. It's the absolute best thing about her. We always are laughing when we are together. The way she laughs is hilarious too! She like ends up crying EVERYtime she laughs because she laughs so hard. Her face gets all red sometimes and she can't breathe, lol its funny.



Rachel Elizabeth Adkins: Rachel's trademark would have to be duct tape and her keys! She has a pretty cool wallet that she made out of duct tape and she can make all kinds of stuff like roses and stuff haha. All the stuff she makes is really awesome. Her keys are always around her neck or in her pocket. Their on this rainbow string thing and they have her keys and a wooden keychain that says Rachel. I always feel so cool when she lets me wear them (:

Those are just a few of my friends' trademarks- I was gonna blog about everybody but I ended up typing a lot on these so I'm gonna stop.

Names!

The other day in English, Mrs. Matthews gave us a blog writing prompt about words that seem ugly to us. Well, instead of ugly words, I'm going to write about ugly names. My aunt Gail lives in Louisville and she works as a Child Services worker... she gets people to pay child support and stuff of that sort. Anyways she came in town and we were talking about baby names, idk why we just were. I was thinking about it and I really do love my last name and I was like, "When I'm older I think I should keep my last name and have twin girls and name them Ella and Bella Fiorella! Would that not be cute? Lol, but yeah my mom was like "laura beth no, those kids would get laughed at all the time... and i was all, "i know, lol thats cruel." If you think that is bad listen to this. Gail heard what I said and she was telling me about some of the names that people name their kids in Louisville. Some are: Penny Money, Chicken Little, and Marijuana Stoner! Now, THAT is cruel. Those children have to live with that name for the REST OF THEIR LIVES!! Wow, I'd never do that to my kids. Another thing, in Chemistry Mrs. Clarke was telling us about names too. Who in the right mind would name their kids orangejello and lemonjello! It sounds like ORAN-JELLO and LEMON-JELLO. I think they are going for some french sounding name or something, lol. This one is the ABSOLUTE WORST. Shithead- No I'm not cussing- it's pronounced SHI-TAY-UH for a girl and SHI-THEEED for a boy. That is awful! The last one which is funny, but mean is L-a pronounced L DASH UH.

I just though these were funny so I thought I would share with everyone (:

I <3 White Days!

First off, my classes are WAY EASIER than on blue days. Chemistry, Study Hall, Spanish, and Art. On blue days I have Pre-Calculus, AP US History, English, and Sociology. Then, white day lunches are so much more fun than on blue days. My white day lunch "crew" is the best! It's Me, Ashley, Steph, Marley, Shelbey, Shelby, Hannah, Yvonne, and a few other people. Oh & Derek, lol you can't forget Derek. We always have the best of times during lunch.We have made so many memories like Handcuffs, SlimShady, 21! And a lot more but I can't really think of them right now. I like white days soooo much better than blue days! Plus on white days I get to see my bff Ashley twice and NONE on blue days :( And another thing, the school really doesn't want me to be friends with Miss Marley Elizabeth Edmonson, because we haven't had a class together since Freshman Year. Lol, they put us together then and realized that we would cause trouble so they decided to split us up while they could! Haha, but that didn't stop us, We're still BFF's (:
I'm not really sure the point in this blog, but I wanted to blog so Yeaaaaah!

American Idol!

So for the past two nights my sister and I watched American Idol together. Watching TV or movies is like the best thing to do with my sister because we like the same things really. Like Criminal Minds, NCIS, American Idol, The Bachelor, Bad Girls Club, Real World... stuff like that. The absolute best part of the show, or so we think is watching the auditions. I'm not trying to be mean or anything... but do some of those people actually think they are decent singers? I would NEVER audition for American Idol unless I absolutely 100% knew I was good, and well other people told me so! There is no way that some of those people have actually had compliments on their singing. It seems to me that they are setting themselves up for embarrassment... in some cases more like humiliation. But, they have to have a lot of guts to get up their and audition on TV I guess. I just don't understand how they think they are good. Haha but anyways some of my favorites were probably the guy that had a britney spears shirt on that said "britney changed my life" and he sang Oops I Did It Again. LOL, and the boy who sang "cause everytime we touch I get this feeling and everytime we kiss I swear I can fly... now cant you feel my heart beat slow, I can't let you go... I need to you in my life" It's the song that some seniors guys performed at Eagle Fest this year. They did a project with if for GSA/GSP last year and It was hilarious! It just made me think of that! Another one I liked was the guy that was trying to hook up with Mary J. Blige. He was hilarious! Well, those are the No-Talent people that I liked, haha. Some of my favorite singers were the really young girl, I can't remember where she was from or anything but she had an AMAZING voice. There was also a black guy that was maybe 19 who spent his life taking care of his sickly Mother and was a big part of his church Choir. He was really good too. I also like the Country Girl form Volmore Tenessee or whatever, haha. I LOVED her accent. My sister kept making fun of me and said you sound like her. But I don't really sound THAT country. She was hilarious and had a good personailty & voice. That's about all I can remember. Cool Blog, I know (: Haha.

Free Time?!

Okay, so today when I got home I started on my homework like I usually do. Well, somehow I finished almost all of my homework! I did my spanish first because I knew that it would take me the longest. I had to find an article in spanish and then read it and then summarize it. It was about Human Rights. It took me a little while, but it wasn't too difficult. Then, I did some chemistry work that isn't technically due tomorrow but it should be done. Then I wrote another article summary for Sociology. I just finished reading about 10 pages of the reading assignment! This is seriously about the fastest I've done my homework this year. Now I can relax. I'm putting new music on my ipod right now and just texting people. I'm loving this free time. Haha lately I've just been really busy. I'm probably going to Subway to get some food with my sister and then coming home to watch American Idol, fun fun (: and then the new episode of Bad Girls Club. This blogs really just babbling on, but I'm pretty pumped about this free time I have... soooo I decided to blog (:
