Very frequently, my friends and I devise our devious plans to execute our deranged but fun ideas. We just so happened to have two of these instances in one day.
Yesterday, on my SECOND trip to Sams Club that day, Elizabeth called me and said she has a devious ploy to make it so that me and Corey can eat lunch together even though he has closed lunch and goes to a school on the other side of town. You see, Elizabeth's mom actually works for the school both she and Corey attend, and she has many connections. There is a restaurant on grounds that supports the Culinary Arts class (which Liz is in) and this restaurant is open to the public... and I am public! So, Lizzie's mom, in all of her devious glory, is going to pull Corey from his lunch and get him the proper permission to eat with me at the restaurant! All of this came about because Liz's mom wanted to eat lunch with Elizabeth and Liz took it from there!
Last night at my weekly youth group, my pastor announced our next party. Elizabeth, sitting next to me, devised a devious plan to get a bunch of people to come. Pastor Chris said that the price was $8 and if you brought one guest who had never been to our youth group before than you have to only pay $4 as well as your guest. With two guests you all get in free! So, Elizabeth's devious plan involved getting all of the names of all the students who get emailed the announcements since they aren't actually at the High School to hear them, like me and Elizabeth. There are about twenty or so name, Juniors and Seniors, on this list. And all we have to do is scan in our party invite! Then we can get a bunch of people there and get in free. Now it's only a matter of actually doing it.
So devious.

Retreat
I've been gone for a leadership retreat and now, I am home... and nothing has changed. Shocking.
The little trip of mine was a good way to relax and ignore the world around you. I always love going out to Camp. It was hosted at the same camp I go to every summer and winter, and each time I always wish it would never end. But, now I am back, and ready to type in my blog! Sadly, nothing exciting has happened that would be worth of writing. So, you, dear readers, have a job! Give me some ideas on what I can write about.

2009
It wasn't too long ago that I watched the New Millennium roll in with all of it's splendor. Sadly, the next eight years went down the crapper. Y2K, George W. Bush's election, 9/11, War on Terror, "Axis of Evil", Dubya's re-election, more war, more terror, economic meltdown, recession, and now we're back to where we started: a new president-elect, and the masses scared. Only, this time it is a Democratic president and the population isn't scared of technology, but rather the people who use it.
What do I think will happen this year? Not much. President Obama (yes, he will be the president, any skeptics will have to just deal with it. Denial time is over.) will start a slow but desperately needed turn-around for the economy, but won't have it attributed to his name in the history books because it's too massive to fix in one term. There will be more terror, and the financial crunches will tighten in the world, even though people continue to purchase Apple products valued in the $500 range. More people will accept Global Warming and realize that the miniscule degree adjustments really do make a detrimental difference. New trends will grip the US. And people will still be dying in third-world countries of diseases for which we have cures abounding in industrial areas. So, yeah, for the most part, everything will stay the same this year.
This does't have to be the case, but we all know that and I digress because that's a rant for another day.
For me, 2009 shall be a good year. And if it isn't you ask? --- Then I'll make it one. From what I can see, I've got school beyond the clutches of the High School Monster, amazing (-ly crazy) friends, a family who loves me, a boyfriend who (unexplaibly) adores me, and the outdoors to calm my phillosophic, hyperactive, overanylizing, and obsessive mind on the days when things take a down-turn. So, yeah, I pretty much demand this year be good despite the bad.
As for the "new years resolutions"... I don't need a specific time of year to make me decide when to better myself, I can do it when I please, thank you very much.
