My Birth
Wow. I'm glad I was too little to remember my birth. Ugh, what if we remembered every single thing from the moment our lives started? Uck.
Anyway, so I was born on September 14 at 9:03 in the morning (thus explaining why I am not a morning person!) I was born about two weeks early, which, y'know, isn't that bad.
One night for family home evening we were watching home videos, and someone had taped just after I'd been born (hallelujah that they didn't record the whole process!!!) Anyway, so they were taping the part when the doctors took me into a room to check me out. And, watching this, any non-blind person could tell that I was not getting enough oxygen. My breathing was too shallow, and not in the right area (more up by my throat) and, I WAS PURPLE!!! And like, a long time later some nurse said, "Uh...Is she supposed to be breathing like that?" GRR!! I COULD HAVE DIED!! Well, the crowd of my family by the window watching me didn't notice either. But, still!
Turns out that my lungs were not fully developed. So off I went to Primary Children's Hospital (by ambulance because the chopper was waaaayy to expensive!)
I was at Primary for about 2 weeks before I finally got to go home. So, I had a very rough start to my life.

PARK CITY!
So today, I went to Park City with the most amazing people ever!!! Ash, Steph, Keenan, Miah, Andres, Erin, Joni, and Alex (the one other kid in the band) yeah! It was fun!
So we left at like 11. I, being Laura, did not get very much sleep on friday (which was a total blast, even though some people hated going to Fools, I had FUN!!!! Matthew totally swung danced with me and threw me all over the place. Haha!!!) So I kinda leaned against Keenan and I was out like a light not soon after that. (though I was concious of the fact that he was stroking my skin and playing with my fingers.) :D!
So we got there, and Keenan was trying to wake me up. I felt like crap when we arrived. (I got kinda carsick) We got there and listened to people playing and played hacky sack and all this grand stuff. It was a great time!!!
So, Depraved Indifference (Miah, Keenan, Erin, and Alex's band) played there today. YEAH THEY ROCKED!!!! (noooo pun intended!) Oh man, and when they played Bonzo (My Brain is Hanging Upside Down) Me, Ash, Steph, and Joni went up and sang back grounds and flipped our hair all over. It was FUN!!!
On the way home, my stomach was being very very annoying and I felt like I was going to throw up, so I leaned against Keenan and he put his arm around me and I fell asleep on the way to Woods Cross. We went to Village Inn and ate food. I was very very very tired during dinner and I laughed at stupid things and all of my words were slurred. It was insane. But the cookies n'cream milkshake was tasty. :)
I was pretty bummed cuz tonight was Woodstock, and I couldn't go (firstly, I'm going to Bountiful. Secondly, I had been gone for 2 days and so I had stuff to do at home). Everybody had a blast without me and I had to stay home and clean and practice my dang sax.
Oh well. I'm watching Dr. Who. :)
Peace!

Hope For FUDGE!!!!
I'm going to get the solo in Fudge Said The Judge. Yes I will! Mr. King is finally going to open his eyes and see how amazing I am. How much better than Josh and Justin and Ryker I am. Tomorrow morning when Justin plays his solo, King will realize that the amazing solo he's been hearing was actually me, not Justin. Mr. King is going to feel like an absolute IDIOT!! Cuz Justin is going to TOTALLYYY slaughter the 2 solo sections Mr. King gave him. GRRR!!
When I try out, I'm ging to put my anger into my solo and totally blow everyone away, quite literally thank you!!

KIDNAPPED!!!!
So there I was, doing my hair and makeup for the day (yeah, it was 5pm) when the door bell rings and I hear my mom shout, "WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING HERE!?"
I can hear my closest, funnest amazingest friends laughing so I sneak down the hall and peek my head around the corner...
Stephanie was crouched on my floor, holding my dogs collar. I thought, "HUH!" But then I realized Steph was holding a gun!!! (well, it was just her fingers but, still! Those things can be LETHAL!!) She saw me and jumped up, seizing me around the neck and began pulling me toward the front door. I could see Keenan, Ash, Andres, Abe, and Daniel through the glass door. I shouted in confusion (Steph was really hurting my neck!) I mean, I needed shoes!!! Still holding me in a head lock, Steph dragged me to my room and I slipped on some flip flops and grabbed my yellow jacket. I was then dragged out of my house.
"Where's your phone?" My mom asked, a little too casually.
"Back pocket!" I said in a daze as I was dragged out to Emma's van.
I had been KiDnApPeD!! And my mom had just watched it happen!
We left my house and were on our way to kidnap Miah and Erin. We got there and everybody bailed out of the van. We rang the doorbell for like 5 minutes before Miah answered the door. We demanded that he come out with us immediately. But he said, "I gotta go get shoes." I was watching him from the bottom of the stairs, wondering why he walked from his room into his mom's. Then I heard the water running.
Andres and I ran up the stairs to find him BRUSHING HIS TEETH! We tried to stop him, almost rammed the toothbrush down his throat, I put some lotion on him. Nothing worked. So we let him be. He finished then, UGH! He had to go put friggin' colonge on!!! His sister had to change and stuff..
THEY FAIL AT GETTING KIDNAPPED!
We finally got them outside and into the car. I was a bit disappointed cuz I was smashed against the window and Keenan was up front. Oh well. Emma began telling us about why we had been kidnapped-WALMART SCAVENGER HUNT! Yeah, that was FUN! I was on Keenan, Steph, Erin, and Abe's team. WE WON!!! wOo!!
So after we won, we went to McDonalds and got ice cream. Emma used a British accent when she ordered the 10 ice cream cones, got mad when the dude only said 2. We drove up and when the kid who was making the ice cream cones rolled his eyes and said, "Women", Emma said, "You're going to bloody hell for that." And drove off. All 9 teenagers were laughing so hard we were about to pee our pants, and Emma was about to crash the car. We went to Emma's workplace and MADE COOKIES! Yum. Most of us went into this waaayy nice conference room and started spinning around on the office chairs. (Ashlee and Miah went and sat on the couch in the other room. -rolls eyes- hehe)
Well...I asked Emma if I could copy my face in the copy machine. Yeah!!! Whoo! After that everyone else started to. Everybody placed a hand on the copy machine. It was GREAT! Dang those cookies were GOOD!! Lol. In the storage room in the office space I found this fold out thing with holes were you put your head. Yeah! It was two HOTT Hawaiian people it!! MAN IT WAS SEXY!!!! Lol.
After wreaking havoc on the office, Emma decided it was time to take everybody home. On the way home, Emma gave us our cover story: We just made cookies, sat in a circle, and sang Kum-Ba-Yah the entire time. Lol. YES!!!
So I was like DOG TIRED on the way home so I just kinda napped on Keenan on the way home. Silly me, I left my cellular device in Emma's car! Emma threatened to sell it on ebay with the photos we'd copied!!! Ahh, so after they finished dropping everybody off, they came back. YES! KEENAN BROUGHT ME FRIES AGAIN!!! WOO! And I got ANOTHER hug. Hehe.
Yeah, I hope all of my kidnappers are that awesome!
