If I could spend today anywhere, I would spend it hunting a lion in Nicaragua. You see I am leo in the zodiac, therefore I shall hunt my star sign. It will be like conquering....myself. It's intense, it's for real, it is LIFE. The pride of the lion versus the pride of the leo. Oh yes, there will be bows and arrows, and claws and fangs. It will bring a new age to the land of Nicaragua.

An age of power....

Okay, so yesterday I went on the BEST run I've been on in months. I swear. I freaking sprinted and sprinted and sprinted. When my mom was ready to leave the rec center I was still feeling like I should go for more. I don't think anybody can comprehend how much awesome was radiating from my shoes. My legs got a real workout. I feel fantastic. I think I'm gonna go running again after school today cause yesterday was just so good that I want to extend the fabulousity into today if I can.

Oh yes, that was the run of power.

Dear Sami's Hair, I know you didn't turn out the way you planned this morning, but it's okay. You held your hairspray and tried your best to flip into the best waves possible. Sadly, I did notice the chunks of straight hair in the back that needed some serious work with a Chi. Later, I also did see the frizz that contracted from this morning's cold air laying it's destructive kiss on your near beauty. Despite your pulls and de-tanglings this morning, I know it didn't turn out great. It's okay though, cause Sami's Makeup has your covered. Sami's makeup is rocking so hard today that plenty of compliments have still headed this way. That cute boy from spanish that Sami likes seemed to notice the awesome exuding off Sami's Makeup today too.

The eyeliner's got your back!

If I could have any video game be like real life it would be Kingdom Hearts. I would totally love to help Sora, Kairi, and Riku saved all the worlds and Disney princesses. It would be my jam. I freaking love that game and I want a Kingdom Keyblade!

We gotta help King Mickey!

Journal Entry 12/3/09

I am most like Stephen Colbert from the Colbert Report. We're both able to sum ourselves up with the same word: Awesome.
Seriously, we own the camera and it likes it. We both have amass of just greatness, holed up inside of ourselves. We can't help it. Not that we would. Perhaps one day, I too will have a nation of my own similar to the brilliance of the Colbert Nation.

Stephen Colbert is me to the T. in his middle name ;)

Journal Entry 12/1/09

The song that best describes my life right now is like Visitation of The Ghost by The Brobecks. My life is feeling kinda jumpy and weird, much like the song. At the same time though, it's alright and I think in the end it'll all mean something.

So yeah, I hope I found the right song. This one had me STUMPED!

Journal Entry 11/20/09

So my week has been filled with it's ups and downs. I think Wednesday was possibly the very best day I've had this school year while Thursday was possibly the worst. Isn't that funny? One can have the best and worst just like that...
On Wednesday the boy I like decided to just sit with me at lunch and I of course was just complete smiles and happy butterflies. Next day: BAM! I accidentally snap at said boy because I'm having the worst morning in history. HOWEVER! I think I mended everything this morning with an apology and a Cadbury chocolate.

Gahh....I love boys but dang if they don't make things complex.

Journal Entry 11/18/09

One word: Sweet Potatoes.
NOTHING! And I mean NOTHING, is better than sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is pretty made of sweet potatoes. Seriously, we could forget the turkey so long as we remember the sweet potatoes. I love them. You can eat them with cinnamon and butter, and it is bliss. Seriously, sweet potatoes are God's way of letting us know that heaven does exist and he does love us. He loves us alot.

Yams are my jam!!!!

Journal Entry 11/16/09

I am most thankful for my brains. Honestly, I love that I can see the world from an intelligent view point, rather than being restricted to the limits of some minds. Like, some people think I'm so "smart" and really its just cause they're limited in their thinking. They need to just focus their minds and really work towards an intellectual enlightenment. I know this all sounds vain and very self righteous, and it probably is just that, but I think more people need to work for an understanding. I personally know that I still have a long way to go in this world's scheme of ideas.

I really do appreciate my mindset. It would be awful to trade this in for something lesser.

Journal Entry 11/12/09

I don't even remember the best compliment I've ever received. I used to treasure each compliment individually and I'm not saying that I don't appreciate them now, but ever since I went through that big change where you stop being all awkward and start getting cute, the compliments kind of run together. Like honestly, it's not so big a deal to be told I'm pretty anymore. I know that sounds self centered and prideful, but once you're told something enough you know how people feel and I know I'm a pretty girl. I value compliments on my work and compliments on my abilities over compliments over my looks.

Makeup compliments count as compliments on my work though cause I work REALLY hard on my makeup stuff :)

Journal Entry 11/10/09

If I could have the answer to any question it would be the answer to "Which religion is correct?"
I believe in my faith and I believe in my God, but we are all plagued by doubt. It is of our human nature to have doubts and to wonder. Of course, I would love even further confirmation for myself and society of what the truth is and the answer to the biggest question of all mankind.

God is a thoughtful being.

Journal Entry 11/6/09

So today I came into RHTV and was dancing to "I Don't Care" by Fall Out Boy followed by "Nice Guys Finish Last" by Cobra Starship. Mr. Johannes saw me really getting into it and proceeded to stare at me. Now I don't know if common manners are known to the social studies department but I was always told that staring was rude. Just because some people can't help themselves to dance doesn't mean you should treat them any differently. Goodness. I would have figured after all of the mustache oppression, the social studies department would be more focused on acceptance and understanding to all people.

It's because I'm green....

Journal Entry 11/4/09

If I had to lose one sense forever I would choose to lose my sense of taste. If I lost my sense of taste then I could eat anything and not worry about offending anybody because it doesn't taste good. Also, I wouldn't have to worry about eating too much of something because it all tastes the same.

Losing my sense of taste might actually have more benefits than losses.

Journal Entry 11/2/09

If I could recieve any gift in the world it would be the gift of MAKEUP.
I love my makeup so much. I would love and could always use more. Like some eyeshadow primer. I could use some of that and definitely some more eyeshadow shades. Oh and somebody could seriously consider giving me some more eyeliner and lipstick shades. Serious lack of the lipsticks.

I really wanna try the liquid lipstick from Revlon. Makeup:)))))

Journal Entry 10/29/09

My heart isn't allowed to sing. My heart is on a strict poem regimen because it's tone deaf. And no sonnets! Those things are just singing...incognito. We don't take to kindly 'round here to things being all sneaky like. So no singing for this heart of mine. Now we can write poems, and we shall write poems. We will write poems about love and philosophical mysteries.

Bleh. I'm still sick feeling. Lets go muse over some John Locke's Social Contract.

Journal Entry 10/27/09

It's important to mean what you say because if you don't then people will soon take notice and then they'll stop valuing your words. Or even worse, if people still value your words then if you say something hurtful, like a friend recently did to me, then they'll take it to heart.
Also, I think it is highly important to SAY these things and refrain from texts. Mmkay? Cause that is cowardly and disrespectful. Man up and face people. For centuries that's what people had to do and they were better to cope with reality because of it.

Mean what you say and say it for real.

Journal Entry 10/22/09

So today is a free write and today I feel good. I think, sometimes, that I spend too much time murdering myself with just all these things that I have to do. I never seem to just let myself chill. Well last night I finally had enough time to chill and I used that time to sleep. I slept so good. I came home, I ate some soup, and I was out like a light. I slept and slept and slept.
I think I'll do the same tonight.

I'm Samantha Jarrell and I like sleep. I like it alot.

Journal Entry 10/21/09

I think people should stay young at heart because you don't want to forget the basic lessons we learn from childhood. We learn important aspects to life like truth, honesty, love, happiness, and fairness. When we forget these things, we become like Stalin, and Stalin was not good. We don't want to be Stalins.

Stalin people = not fun!
Lets stay young at <3

Journal Entry 10/19/09

Your attitude has everything to do with success. If you can't have a positive attitude then you'll be stuck in Debbie Downer Land and your success will be extremely hindered. It's not good stuff.
So as we can tell having a positive attitude helps. Though I do understand those times when you really just don't want to have a positive attitude and at those times, it is best to just get it done to the best your ability.

So yeah rock the 'tude.

Journal Entry 10/15/09

A true friend is someone who always has your back but at the same time can be chill enough to jokingly get under your skin. True friends will keep your head on straight without putting you down. True friends are amazing people like your broadcast team :)))))

True friends will also be the people that will let you pull on their sleeve all through a scary movie even if it completely ruins their shirt and their mom calls it the "Tramp Shirt" for forever more.

Journal Entry 10/9/09

Today is a momentous day. TODAY IS MS. MERRILL'S BIRTHDAY!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADY!!! IT'S AMAZING!!

Happy birthday awesomest bcast teacher EVERRR!!!

I have never had a job. I'd really like one. They're kind of essential to living nowadays, unless you're really lucky and all that steady income stuff is taken care of for you. I want to have a reliable flow of cash coming into my pocket so that I can make purchases that I will enjoy, and be able to save up for things that I have long been after.

I NEED A JOB!!

Journal Entry 9/25/09

So I've had a hectic week. I spent ALL week being exhausted and not getting a chance to go running between all of my homework and making room to sleep. I also had to do an awful AP World History timed compare and contrast essay over The Rise And Fall of Acient Rome and Han China. It was some scary stuff. I literally finished when my teacher, Mr. Crowe, called "time".
I also had to write my affirmative case for debate, and that took tons of research and hours of sleep. I think debate knocks time off of your lifespan.

I'm exhausted but I can't wait to get home on this friday night to go running :)

Journal Entry 9/23/09

My favorite holiday is HALLOWEEN!!!
Halloween is the most rockin' holiday, like, ever. You can be so many awesome things for halloween and dress as funky you want. Halloween is also the holiday that lets me do the most with my makeup adventures. I can look downright out of this world and people will think it's just awesome. I love Halloween ;))))

Journal Entry 9/21/09

My dream job is working as a makeup artist. I would freaking love to do the special effects makeup in movies and the crazy insane makeup that one would see on the runway. Makeup to me is art, and it's the best kind of art because you can wear it everywhere. Everyone who sees me will see my art because makeup is just that convenient and awesome.

I LOVE MAKEUP!

Journal Entry 9/17/09

Parents should give their parents enough freedom to make their own mistakes. Often times, parents are too strict on their sheltering of their children so much that their children develop no real understandings for the world because they lack experiences. Its not right for children to have no chances to become their own person and learn from their own actions. When people see, feel, and experience they understand. When people don't do these things, they can't understand.

Journal Entry 9/15/09

If I could take an all expense paid trip around the world, my parents would probably make me take them...against my will.
If I could choose who I get to take then I would take my sister and my best friend Lauren. We would have a freaking blast going all over the world. I could just imagine the crazy mischief and the crazy shopping we would get into. However, since this is my sister and me we're talking about, we would totally nerd out at all the historical places. Yeah ;)

Journal Entry 9/11/09

On September 11th, 2001...

I was in second grade and things were weird. Classes did not technically stop, but regular functions in them did. I remember the teachers let us spend most the day at "stations" (those were freaking funnn!) while they were hooked to each other's computers. When the day finally ended and my sister came and got me from school, I was finally told what had happened. I was too young to comprehend the severity of the situation. To be honest, I was able to shrug it off.

Looking back I wish I'd known. I wish I had understood what was going. I wish I could have properly experienced the grief, not for the sake of being sad, but for the sake of being able o emphasize more with those that lost someone on September 11h, 2001.

Journal Entry 9/9/09

There should be a law against baptism by fire....at least as far as public speaking goes.
I absolutely HATE being thrown into public speaking situations when I have no idea what I'm getting myself into. That happened exactly today in debate. I spent a week on my affirmative case and had three arguments, and Jay, our debate team captain, kicked my butt. He spent 20 minutes during first period on his negative case and had one argument.

2nd period makes me mentally exhausted...

Journal Entry 9/4/09

So, today I have been trying to work plans out to hang with The Saad. It's not going so well. We both have WAYYYY too many schedule conflicts and it's putting me in a very blah mood. I'm supposed to go see The Time Traveler's Wife with him, but I'm a little concerned about whether that is going to work out. He has to go break his fast at a certain time and I have dinner at a certain time. He has a doctor's appointment at a certain time, and I have to be home at a certain time.

Too much certainty on time restrictions equals too much incertainty the actual time to fun ratio.

Journal Entry 9/2/09

Thank you, my awesome sister, Amanda :)

Many of my beliefs and many of the great truths of the world I know, I know because of you. You have taught me tolerance and love. You are the greatest sister a sister could have. You have always given me the right information to shape my beliefs without pushing your own (though we tend to agree!). Because of you I know three important things: I love gay people, I must always investigate something for myself, and I must always stick to what I believe.

I love you for all that you have done. We need another "Asian Food And Depressing Movies" day :)))))

Journal Entry 8/31/09

If I could go back and cover ANY story, it would be the breaking news when women obtained the right to vote.
I'm just enough of a feminist to go for that story and cover it to it's full extent and never get bored. I mean, it certainly TOOK LONG ENOUGH! Ugh! Really, it took all the way to the 20th century? Really? I'm disappointed.

Journal Entry 8/27/09

I would rather live somewhere really hot than somewhere very cold. If it's really hot out then I can do fun things to try and cool off. PLUS, it's like having the delicious summer weather all year long which is AMA-Z-ZING!
I could rock my awesome red polka dot swimsuit like year round. Sounds bueno right? Right.
SOOOoooo as we can see, the hot place is ironically cooler than the cold place ;)

Journal Entry 9/25/09

First day? First day?
Hmmm.....this school year I am most looking forward to trying to destroy my opposers at my Debate competitions. This year, I am also starting on my fast track to becoming a nurse. I could be almost a certified nurse by the time I graduate. I'm really excited for all of this.

Jounal Entry 5/29/09: The Last Journal

Wow. What a year it has been. I'm really going to miss the craziness of this class. It's been amazing and funny, and downright ridiculous at some times. From the random political debates to getting into photobooth and taking kick butt pictures. Freshman year....yeah I liked being a fish.

HERE'S TO THE NEXT THREE YEARS!

If I were invisible for a day I would freak out. I mean, what the buck? I'm invisible? How the heck did that happen?
I would most definitely freak.

The world would be a less advanced and connected place. Methods for and other discoveries that have advanced man would not be as widespread or known as they are. We would not be as evolved.

Journal Entry 5/15/09

If I had to describe myself as a color, I would describe myself as Gray. I am not a black and white person. I see the world as filled with inbetweens and things that we should look more carefully at instead of just believing strongly in one thing or another. Life isn't black and white so why should people be?

Journal Entry 5/13/09

If I could be famous I would probably roll with it. I'd like to be famous for writing a great book that gets turned into a movie or for acting in a movie. I can't really sing so that's right out. Anywho, being famous could be kind of annoying though but I still think I'd roll with it because it is profitable and allows one to have a greater influence over people.

Journal Entry 5/11/09

"Get to work. You aren't being paid to believe in your dreams."

BEST ADVICE EVER. Sometimes you have to do all the crap that other people tell you to in order to get where you want because that is how the world works. You have to suck in your pride and do as you're supposed to if you want to climb the ranks.

Journal Entry 5/7/09

Greatness is popcorn and running. Those two things rock and I love both of them. Running after school is da bomb.

If I didn't have school today I would be at home. Actually, at this very moment I would probably either be out running or eating breakfast after my run. It would be FABULOUS!

If I could be on any reality show I would be on America's Next Top Model. Sadly, I'm not nearly tall enough or anorexic enough for that show. I love taking weird pictures though and wearing strange makeup, so it would be perfect for me because that's pretty much what they do. I also love the runway walks.

Journal Entry 4/20/09

Writing poetry and stories, doing crazy makeup, speaking my mind, running, dancing, sewing beautiful things, shopping for dresses that I'm not really going to buy, thinking about the meanings of the world, analyzing why people do what they do, discovering something new, and learning to do some of he amazing things that I aspire to do.

These are the things that make me truly happy :)

The best thing about being a teenager is not having to be responsible for much. We get use pretty much all the money we earn any way we want. Another cool thing is, when we screw up big time, we get plenty of second chances.

Thank you, Chris Perez

- I'm a total loser and it rocks
- I rock an Nintendo 64 games

-I rock at arguing
-I read a lot
-I am pretty much one of the most amazing people in the world

Yeah, just to name a few ;)

Journal Entry 3/26/09

If I could put something in a time capsule to be opened 100 years from now, I would be like the one chick from "Knowing" and put in a creepy paper with a bunch of random numbers on it because that will totally freak out the people of the future and they will be like "OHMYGOSH! THIS IS A SIGN! OHMYGOSH WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

And I would laugh....in my grave....cause I would already be dead.....yeah....

I do not have a favorite quote because there are simply too many in the world for me to pick. I don't know if my favorite should be something wise, something funny, or something ironic. One that I do like is from a musical called Razia's Shadow.

"An idea is only relevant if it is being though upon. So remember, never surrender. 'Cause the unrelenting constancy of love and hope, will rescue and restore you from any scope." - Forgive Durden, "Razia's Shadow"

My dream vacation would be to Australia. It would be so cool to visit there because going to the outback would be such an adventure.

Journal Entry 3/11/09

The economic changes have caused a couple problems with me. First off, since they have occurred, my family has been more cautious about buying things and my parents have stressed the need for me to be careful because the last thing we need is overly expensive medical bills.
Personally, I have gotten fewer babysitting jobs than last year and I am going out less than before. I have also changed my decided future field of work. Instead of going for a fun, but not necessary, job, I am going to become a nurse.

Journal Entry 3/9/09

Draw this bloated line
Bring upon the marks of time
Cast the years through sea
Unto the paper just before me

Sew the the needle through the thread
Let my careful hands pull the stitch of your head
The fabric of your nimble brain
Where the thimble had been lain

Set the needle on the track
Winding up
And
Winding back

Glue the buttons on your face
Designing the land from that place

We make these dolls for those
To satisfy this dry need to compose

There is so much controversy in the world because people's opinions on everything differ and nobody can seem to find peace with what they have. People are greedy and vicious beings that will go after something even if it means hurting someone else. That's just they way the world is.

Journal Entry 3/2/09

The best lesson I have learned so far was over types of ads. It was fun and interesting to watch the commercials, plus we learned all about the types of ads. Then, we got to apply that knowledge in a good way as well. It was a nicely thought out and fun lesson.

Journal Entry 2/26/09

I would rather have one best friend, because you can't hang out with a bunch of acquaintances. You have to worry about how they will perceive you if they aren't you best friends, and then you have to make sure you keep yourself looking perfect when you hang out with them because they haven't gotten close enough to you yet to accept you no matter what.

Jounral Entry 2/24/09

I see myself alive and healthy in twenty years. I may be a little sad though because I will be 35 and five years from being a 40 year old person which is just blehhhhhh.
Oh well, I'll get over it because I'll have enough money to remind myself that I may be old, but I'm rich.

Journal Entry 2/20/09

The most difficult thing about being a teenager is, in fact, other teenagers themselves. Teenagers are not always such nice people to each other and can be crazy people. Teenagers are often over dramatic or even under dramatic.

Journal Entry 2/18/09

Song lyrics make me open my mind up to different ideas and new perspectives about things. I find that they often give people a view into a highly sophisticated thought, but without compromising it's poetic and catchy sound. Song lyrics help me relate and understand certain aspects about life while they inspire me. Song lyrics conjure up different emotions through their strange approach to ideas and open up an array of new thoughts for me.

Jounral Entry 2/10/09

I think that currently, the most interesting thing in news is the giant bushfire that broke out in Australia. I feel terrible for all of those people who lost friends, family, and their homes.
Australia is probably in a terrible state of mourning and pain because of those awful fires.
I don't know what I would do if a fire like that came at my home and the homes of my friends.

Jounral Entry 2/6/09

If I were locked in the mall I would either live in the food court or I would live in Barnes and Nobles.
I would live in the food court for the obvious reasons that the food tastes deeeeellllliiiccciiiouuusss and I would never go hungry or get bored.
I would live in Barnes and Nobles because I simply love books like the geeky nerd that I am. Plus, there would always be plenty of Starbucks and bakery stuff. It would be like a text based heaven. Which, for me, is fantastic.

Journal Entry 2/4/09

I don't really know what the most daring thing I've EVER done is. I'm sure i is much less daring than I'd like for it to be, but that's probably because I am a somewhat careful person. I try very hard to be so careful because I have an array of careers that I would like to pursue and I can't have something foolish that I've done jeopardizing my chances to go after my dreams.

Journal Entry 1/29/09

No, it is unfair to try and label something as "normal" when all people and things are different. This is also because the term "normal" is relative and the meaning changes to the user's own beliefs of what "normal" actually is. Normal is whatever one wants normal to be.
"Normal" is an ever changing standard designed by whoever uses it.

Advertisements tell about what is available in the world and about who is doing what. In a sense, advertisements may act as news, though probably not intentionally. Advertisements also influence my thoughts and others on decisions and public issues.

To choose something new to learn, requires a certain level of knowledge about what your options are. The next thing that comes to mind, do I like the subject I'm choosing to learn?

Journal Entry 1/21/08

It is important to take responsibility for your actions because that is just the right thing to do. Honesty and integrity are two things that people seem to seriously lack these days. In fact, people should go further than just taking responsibility for what they do, they should try thinking about their actions and consequences before they act irresponsibly. Mind you, it's not something one always immediately does think about or even wants to, but it's something one should strive for.

Journal Entry 1/9/08

To be comfortable in your own skin is to know who you are and to be comfortable with that. It is not being afraid of how others perceive you, because you know who you are and what they think does not matter.

I would ask how the heck they handled the stock market crash of 1929, and then I'd ask if they would so kindly advise people on the current situation because at this rate we will have a major financial problem that could snowball into another crash. This would most definitely effect the future of all current peoples within our country and even other countries.

Then, I'd ask how they heck they lasted so long.

Journal Entry 1/5/09

I can't say that I am overly excited about anything in 2009. My dad lost his job last year so I guess the best I can hope for is a better economy (if we're extremely lucky) and more money for my family. I don't want another awful year like 2008.
Actually, there is one little thing that I am excited about. This year will be the beginning of Barrack Obama's presidency. That is definitely one thing to be excited about.
