Go Reverse Osmosis

I learned a lot today, mainly due to the fact that two guys showed up to test our water. Overall, it was pretty cool and interesting.
I learned that water from the faucet, even if "purified" by a home filter, will still hold high amounts of chemicals including lead. We did a small test with a bulb and electric current; filtered water turn the bulb on, and bottled water did not. Yeah.
Somehow, after sticking some metal sticks in a beaker with both kinds of water, our water turned an ugly green with some kind of rust floating. That was disgusting! And it's what we drink!
Here's what they offer: a full system that purifies and cleans water for the entire house. Through reverse osmosis (I haven't yet looked up the process, but it's the same Aquafina uses). The price? A mere $7,600. To be paid in monthly payments of $126.77 I think he said it'd take five years to pay it off. But it is a really nice system and great for every one's health.
That's why I drink bottled water honeys! Aquafina. Fine Water, apparently.

Today I was supposed to go with April to Angie's church. I couldn't, of course, because my dad had to work (on a Sunday!) and we had to drive my mom to church (she doesn't dare drive downtown) for her to be there at 11.
I had plans to go to both churches, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to. I hope we can go next Sunday! (Apie, Angie?)

So I went to my church today with my hot-green Aeropostale shirt and hot jeans on. My hair was hot too. I need to get it cut though, it's getting long at the top.
Also, there was this really hot white dude filming today's Fiesta after the service. His facial hair was sexy and he had the coolest choker on. He was hot. One of my girls took two pictures of him; they aren't great, but they show him, kinda.
I tried to accidentally bump into him but he kept on moving. At one point I lined up right behind him to get tamales but I did it too late and he left. Oh well.
I didn't even get a name! How lame!

My family was invited to go out to eat with some friends so we went to a Chinese place. I was full because I had gotten out of the Fiesta so I had a plate of rice and more stuff and a salad with lime and salt. I was so bored that I had an ice cream and more soda.
I need to stop texting under the table. I need to stop texting as much, period.

My brother had a tennis match to go too so my dad took him in the middle of dinner. Laym! That's why they lost!

After eating, we went to my friend's house (same family as dinner). The, guy, who's also in church choir and a good friend of mine had on a black Aeropostale shirt on and hot jeans too. We almost dressed alike! He's not too bad, either.

I love my little Godsister; she's so cute and she can almost talk now. I love seeing her run around the house and smiling and laughing.

Heh Gurls.

I don't know, I'm feeling real ghetto today. My name's Shmaquanda.

I don't feel like typing as they do though.

OMG! I bought a sweater yesterday, and it was the same style as the gray striped one I always wear. I brought it home and checked the brand! They were the same brand! I was like "Yesh!" for some reason. It's pretty cool, I'll wear it to school.

Ummm, church kind of sucked today because no one in the choir showed up but my brother and a cute little girl. Then another guy showed up five minutes before the service started. I was supposed to have a solo, but I got nervous so everyone sang with me. We still effed it up a little. The rest of the songs were fine though, I got confident along the way.
One problem though: the congregation singing two measures behind the choir really throws me off! So the guitars usually speed up and the congregation doesn't hear because they are too busy singing what they think are the right notes. It's kind of funny, but then it gets old and frustrating.

Later on, after much shopping and eating, we went to a gas station down in Beech Grove. It was cheap! $2.29!!!
So, I don't think there are many hispanics around there, because this white girl got all excited by seeing me. She yelled out "Bye Papi!" as she was leaving. I thought that was funny, so did my mom. Silly girls who thinks all the guys out there are straight. ^^

I Sell Bibles

My parents were mocking me because I dressed up today to go to church. And I apparently looked like I was selling bibles or promoting Jesus Christ with fellow Jehovah Witnesses/Mormons. I liked my outfit though. And I'm wearing it on Tuesday (Homecoming Week: Dress Up Day) with a black tie. I'll look spiffy, I think. It's either that or the gray outfit I wore to Techoir with a gray scarf on top.

I had pancakes this morning. Squee. And yogurt. I made sure to save my "cure" lid to send over so Yoplait can donate money for further research on breast cancer.

Church was pretty cool today. The choir sounded amazing. We've improved a lot, and many in the congregation agree. We learned a new song today too. And we performed it. It used to take us three weeks to learn one song, now we just need 20 minutes. And we can divide into voices! Squee. I love us.

After that, some of the boys had a Boy Scout meeting. Me included. We planned for this month and the following. We are camping the weekend of Fall Break. Fine with me. We are also starting a Venture Group so that way girls in our congregation can be involved too. My scoutmaster says we can invite kids from high school too, and they cam be up to 21 in college. Audrey, April, Angie? Wanna have some wild fun? We do outdoor activities. Hit me up if interested.

After that we went to a birthday party. It was a girl's 4-year-old party. She's so cute. We got her The Little Mermaid. And oh-my-god the food was great! They had shrimp cocktails, awesome pico de gallo, shredded chicken, and much more. Oh yeah, cactus leaves (?). They are awesome. I was full!
Oh yeah, a bunch of Mexicans showed up at the same place and started rehearsing for a Quince. It was so tacky. White people were there too, and I was all "this is so embarrassing!"

Then we came home and left again for Wal-Mart. We bought The Mist and random household necessities.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. When? Sunday. Bring Your Book.
