Dear world.

I am regretting this.
So. Stinking. Much.
Today, I was planning, on going to the Stake Dance.
I have been waiting for this dance for soooo long.
(Well. Since after the Halloween Dance.)
I was planning on going.
But...
I have no phone, so I wouldn't be able to tell my mom/dad where I was, and when I was planning to be home.
I have no ride. And it is about..... single digits outside.
I really feel bad about this.
So. Everyone tell me how fun this dance was.
I would like to know.
Was Del Taco amazing?
How was the DJ.
I will be sitting here.
Spending quality time....  With nobody...
(No, really, tell me how the dance was, those who went.)
Love. Spencer.

The day after Christmas

After listening to the Mormon Tabernical, I have decided.
I want to be in their orchestra.
Playing my cello of course.
But, I will have to wait a few years to be able to do that.

This is the start of the second week of Christmas Break, 2010-11.
This is the last week that you can say it is Two Thousand and Ten.
This has been the best Christmas break ever.
I have not done any homework.
This is the last Sunday that I will go to church at 1 for three whole years.
I am very exicted for that.
Church at 1 is lame.
You have to fast for like...  The whole day....
Chruch at nine on the other hand... You just have to fast throughout breakfast.
Christmas yesterday was amazing.













I got hot sauce. Six of them to be exact.
It is the best hot sauce you can get.
Ever.
Mango Passion fruit flavor.
This hot sauce clames to be....  "Excellent in grilling marinades & glazes and as a splashing & dipping sauce.  Great on chicken, pork, shirmp, Pancakes, French Toast, Waffles, & Ice Cream."  Hot sauce on ice cream?  Sounds amazing.  They also taste amazing on Del Taco Taco's.  Just to let you know...

I got a new set of badly needed Scriptures.
They have my name on them and everything.
I have had my old pair since my bapthism.

I got a new Taylor Swift Calendar.
It looks pretty amazing.

Then Santa...
He is the man.
He always pulls through.
















( For the people that read my blog, this belt buckle was made famous my Special Agent Seeley Booth.
For those of you who don't know who he is.... Stop reading this right now and watch Bones. )
It is the cocky belt buckle.
The most amazing thing. Ever.
So, Santa, if you are reading this...
I.  Love.  You.

I hate some of my dreams...

Last night, I had a dream.
I have this dream about three times a year
And what happenes in it is people that I have seen that day...
They say my name.
Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.
I hate it.
Waste of a dream.
Why can't I be normal and dream about sugar plums or santa? But no.
It is random people, saying my name...
Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again...

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

I will win this contest.

What I will do with the snow.

Bring it Emilee.
I am ready for this.

Saturday, December 18, 2010

Coincidence?

So, early yesterday, I think yesterday, the Prove Tabernacle caught fire.
It is pretty sad.
As they were fighting the fire, they knew that pretty much everything in there is a compleate loss.
Millions of dollars of equiptment for the Christmas Program that was going to be held their that night was lost.
When firefighters were cleared to enter the building, they were surrounded by burnt everything, paintings, wood, pretty much all of it is was a total loss.
But, on thing they found, was this.

As you see in this picture, they found a painting of Christ's Second Coming.
All around it is burnt.
Except for Christ.
How amazing is that?

Best day of the year?

Dear Taylor Swift.
Hi, my name is Spencer Merryweather.  I would like to say that I am your biggest male fan. Don't listen to your other fans that say their your biggest fan.  Because I am.
I would like to wish you a very happy birthday.
You are now 21 years old.
That's only a six year difference between you and me.
I wish it would work out, but I don't know if that will happen.
I would just like to tell you happy birthday.... again.
Love. Spencer Merryweather.

My hero. Whoever it is...

Some nice people took my last status post into consideration.
I said, "hey, why don't I have a fan club."  or cometing to that extent.
And when I did my nice midnight facebook check.  I found this.

I was overjoyed.  I was thinking... Whoever made this....  They are now quite high in my rankings.  But I am still wondering....
Who?

I couldn't crack this dang mystery. (I've always wanted to be a detective.  But not this kind, maybe the kind Booth is.  Finding who killed people.  That would be awesome.  Flippen awesome.)

Then, I get a random friend request.  It was a 'man' by the name of Taylor Pilgrim.
Before I looked at him information, I told myself, 'Dang, I would LOVE to have that name.  It's like a mix of Taylor Swift and Scott Pilgrim. Then, I would change my middle name to Julian or something.'

When I looked at who it was.  I got this informantion.

By this point of time, if I had cancer, it would be cured 10 fold I laughed so hard.
This made my day.

So, my blog post is almost done.
I know most of you out there, probably all of you, think I made this myself.
But, I didn't.
You probably will still think that I did it.
But, ya, whatever.
(I didn't do it.... For reals...  Am I really that creative enough to pull this off?)

And the Taco prevails.

Today in woodshop, I wasn't able to work on my project.
I just finished making my wonderful napkin holder/salt and pepper holder work of art...
(Ok.  Maybe I exaggerated on 'work of art'.  It's is pretty ugly....)
And I forgot to pay for my next project.
So, I got to sit in the classroom and work on my math homework.
While I was in there, These two kids got into a little fight....
Guess what it was all about.
Some kid was just about to leave to go and work in the woodshop.  He told his group of friends that they could eat the rest of his chips that he had.  (You can't eat food in the woodshop.  Duh)
((And there were only about 4 chips left.  And they wern't salt and vinegar chips.  So, they wern't worth fighting over.))
One kid, that goes by the name of Albert, grabbed the chips and started to eat them.  (Albert belongs to the Mexican part of the world.)
One of the other kids, with the name of Alex, wanted some chips.
But, Albert would not share.
They tussled.
There was shoving, pushing, and very rude words exchanged.
Then, they said, 'let's take this outside.'
When they returned, they both took a shot to the face.  But Albert clearly hit harder.
That is when someone that was watching broke it up.
I was sitting in the classroom wondering who would have won if they would have kept fighting...
I was thinking it would go down just like this.

(You are going to have to click me)

Orchestra is the bomb.

Just to let you know.
Orchestra is pretty awesome.
We had our christmas concert today.  It was combined with the band.  Like every year.
Mr. Beck is pretty much the most unique person I have ever met.
You will never meet anyone like him.
He is funny.  (Well.  He tells jokes.)  ((Some of them can be quite lame))  (((But we still love him)))
Anyways.  Our class learned our songs very fast.  So, he decided to have us memorize it.
And we would performe it memorized.
And choreographed.
When we heard this we thought.....  Haha,  Good one.  That isn't possiable.  We can't dance with our cellos silly.
Well.  We were stood corrected.
For all that went, you witnessed it.
We danced.
At one time, we slow danced with our cellos.  Most comical thing ever.
When we started to do it, everyone laughed.
It was just the best.
Orchestra did good.
Besides the fact that you mess up a lot when you play songs memorized.
And you mess up even more when you don't have the songs.
Everyone did great.
As far as I heard.
After I was done performing, I went to our special needs mutual.
They said, I think, the best closing prayer I have ever heard.
Today was a very good night.
Can I have more of these?
And, just survive a week more and a day.
Then, you will be free from schooling until next year.
Excited?
Yes!

Tisk Tisk.


I can't believe he would do such a thing. That darn Julian Smith. It took him two years to come up with it.
This post has no title.
I couldn't think of a cool title.
Anyways.
Orchestra tour has been cancled.
Yes.  I am quite mad.
No Denver.
No snow....
And worst of all no touring a beer factory!!
Ya...
Kind of sucks...

What's on your list?

Christmas is coming up.  (in case you haven't noticed.)
My list consists of:

Salt and Vinegar Chips.  Best type of chips in the world.  

New headphones.  My other ones got...... misplaced......

I would enjoy a new set of scriptures.  I am getting tired of taking them to school, then bringing them home.  Sometimes......  I'm lazy.  

http://www.districtlines.com/juliansmithtv/T-Shirts/Reading-Lips       I'm pretty sure everyone wants one of these.  

And last on my list.  Is this.  (for those of you who do not watch bones..... I am sorry for your loss.  But you would know why I wanted this.  Booth, is total awesome.)

The results are in....


Yes, I have made it into the PGHS Phantom of the Opera Pit Orchestra......
As an alternative.
I am proud of myself.
The other 2 cellists that were chosen are in Chamber orchestra.
Which it about a billion times better that any other level.
But, notice how my name is before Kevin's.
Therefore I am 1st reserve cellist.
So, I do feel accomplished.

*insert creative title here*

Dear world.  
While you spend your friday after Thanksgiving killing others over underpriced Christmas Items, I will spend it at my house.  
Babysitting. 
Yes.  I know. 
Lucky me.  
I will be here.  
Eating what little leftovers that we have, sleeping in, watching Psych.  
I enjoy that show...
Anyways.  
I will be watching the news tomorrow. 
There will probably be reports of deaths across the nation about people being trampled because they wanted to get that 5 extra percent off of that one item.  
Have fun spending your money.  
I think Black Friday is overrated.... 
Correct me if I am wrong...
But can't you just go in the day after Friday and get the same deals?
An answer to this question would be nice.  
But I probably will be corrected.  
Have fun tomorrow.  
From.

Phantom Auditions.

For those who do not know, I tried out to be in the pit orchestra.  
((((((((((This is the solo I did. ))))))))))
It sounded pretty amazing. 
Then....
They asked me to sight read something......
My.  Heart.  Dropped.  
I loath sight reading....
Loath it with a passion.  
That is why they have something called 'practicing.'
According to Mr. Beck I did 'pretty good.' 
I didn't think I do so hot...
I am still trying to decipher if he meant it like, 'you did pretty good,' or if he meant, 'I have to say you did good so you don't go home and cry yourself to sleep.'
Hopefully the first one.
So.  
I find out on Monday if I make it. 
I think that it is a toss up if I make it.  
I was the first to play from the cello's, so hopefully I set the bar high.  
From.

Excited?

Harry Potter Seven Part One is coming out this friday.
I was looking at someones blog and I found this.
I thought it was cool.
I totally forgot what happened after book seven so this helped me remind myself...
Anyways..

Harry Potter married Ginny Weasley. They had three children, James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna. He became head of the Auror’s Department under Kingsley Shacklebolt. 
Ginny Weasley played quidditch for the Holyhead Harpies. After deciding to raise a family, she retired and became Senior Quidditch correspondent at the Daily Prophet. 
Hermione Granger married to Ron Weasely and had two children, Rose and Hugo. Hermione went back to Hogwarts and sat her NEWTS before working for Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and helping house elves. She then moved to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement where she eradicated pro-pureblood laws. 
Ron Weasley went to work with George at Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes until he became an Auror for the ministry.
George Weasley married Angelina Johnson and turned Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes into a lucritive business. They had two children, Fred and Roxanne. 
Bill and Fleur Weasley have three kids, Victoire, Dominique and Louis. Victoire seems to have a romantic interest in Harry’s godson, Teddy. She was named after the victory at Hogwarts, since her birthday shared its anniversary. 
Charlie Weasley stayed single and continued working with his dragons. 
Percy Weasley married a woman named Audrey. They had two daughters, Molly and Lucy. 
Arthur Weasley went on as Head of the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects. 
Albus Dumbledore had fallen in love with Grindelwald at one point when he was younger. He felt he had lost track of his morals while with Grindelwald, so after this he led a celibate and scholarly life. 
Dudley Dursley went on to be married and have children. Harry occasionally went to visit with him, but did not maintain a relationship with the other Dursleys. 
Rubeus Hagrid continued to work at Hogwarts and would have young Albus Potter to his hut to tea. 
Neville Longbottom married Hannah Abbott. He went on to be the Herbolgy professor for Hogwarts. 
Hannah Abbott ran the Leaky Cauldron. 
Luna Lovegood married Rolf Scamander much later than Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny married. They had twin sons Lorcan and Lysander. She became a famous naturalist. 
Firenze was allowed back into the herd. 
Dolores Umbridge was arrested, interrogated and imprisoned for crimes against muggleborns. 
Rita Skeeter kept writing. When asked about what happened to her, JK Rowling laughed and said she probably wrote a book about Harry after he defeated Voldemort. 
Severus Snape ’s portrait was not put in the headmaster’s office at Hogwarts because he resigned before he died. But Harry told everyone of Snape’s innocence.
The Defence Against The Dark Arts job is no longer jinxed. When Voldemort was killed, the jinx lifted and the school can now keep a D.A.D.A teacher for more than a year. 
Draco Malfoy married Astoria Greengrass (younger sister of Daphne) and had a son named Scorpius.
Cho Chang married an unnamed muggle. 
Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom (Neville’s parents) never got to leave St. Mungo’s. When asked about them, J.K. Rowling said “The damage is done.” 
Hogwarts is led by an an entirely new Headmaster (McGonagall was getting a little old). 
J.K. Rowling lives wealthy ever after. “I’m dealing with a level of obsession in some of my fans that will not rest until they know the middle names of Harry’s great-great-grandparents,” she said in an interiew. But she also said “I love it. I’m all for that.”

These past few months.

These past few months....
I have been working on something.
It has taken a while.
It is called an Eagle.
Highest award that scouting can give out.
And it is dang hard to get to.
It all starts with 11 year old scouts.
You start off in that wondrous place.
Usually you earn your Tenderfoot, Second, and First class that year.
Then.  When you earn the title of 12, you move up with legit scouts.
Not saying that 11 year old scouts are legit....
Anyways.
Over the next few years, the Star and Life Ranks can be earned.
In order to receive these awards, you would have to earn a whole bunch of merit badges, and some other stuff.
Merit badges, for those of you who do not know, are items that you earn by completing a set of requirements.
There are many much merit badges.
121 to be exact.
You don't need to earn all of them.
Only a handfull of people have earned all 121 badges.
Which is amazing.
Way amazing.
After doing a whole bunch of stuff, you then get to start working on your Eagle Rank Advancement.
Do be awarded your Eagle, you have:
A total of 21 merit badges (piece of ice cream cake.)
Show leadership in activities with your troop.  (Pretty darn easy.)
Then a lot of other Misc. Stuff.
Then....
The Biggie.
While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or your community. (The project should benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) The project plan must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your Scoutmaster and troop committee, and the council or district before you start. You must use the Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook, BSA publication No. 512-927 , in meeting this requirement.

This, has taken me almost 11 months....
My project was with the Food and Care Coalition of Provo.  
I met with them.  
I asked what I could do. 
They said, "Hygiene drive."
I said. "Deal."
They gave me a list of items that were in need and ideas how to get them. 
I gave them a handshake.  
Then left.  
At the Food and Care Coalition, they require what is called an "Onsite Project."
In order for you do an Eagle Project for them... 
You have to serve in their food kitchen sort of place.  
That place.... 
Is...
AMAZING.  
For Teacher's next combined, we are going there.  
I will make it happen.  
That place is amazing.  
Awesome. 
Crazy cool.  
Way fun to work there.  
I got my group of people there and we helped out. 
Did I mention that place was amazing?
Well.  It is.  
We got there and served.  
Here are some memories from it.  
















The amazing food we served to the clients.


















This picture beats all.  
Every picture I have.  
This wins.






We all decided to clean.  
All except Bridger.  
He decided to supervise.  





















There was rejoicing after a good days work. 
Or a good 2 hours work.  

That was that part of the project: Finished.  
That was the easy part.  
Trust me.  
It was.  
After that...
Was, what I call, the Hygiene Drive part.  
I started off with going from door to door throughout my ward and hand delivering flyers.  
Yes.  
Hand delivering. 
We didn't do the lame, "put the flyer on the door" gig.  
No. 
We knocked, and physically shoved it into their hands.  
That took a few couple lots of hours.  
But, I think it was worth it. 
We got a lot of donations that way.  
I set a date to pick up the items and they were picked up. 
Pretty flippen good haul.  
After that, I set up a booth at Walmart. 





















Yes. 
There is the booth. 
I was there for 9 hours.  
I have....
Amazing friends and scouts to help me.  
Better than amazing.  
If I could give out an MVP award for helping me, that would go to...
*drumroll*
Noah Shumway.  
I would have probably not have finished my project without him.  
He was there whenever he could be there. 
FGNMBFBTHMWMEP.
If you can guess this acronym, I will buy you a dinner wherever you choose. 
Anyways.
Yes.  
He is a saint.  
We got a huge deal of donations from Walmart and from my awesome Ward members. 
I also got money donations....
I will not discuss how I got to spend these money donations...
But you can read about it here.
After buying the.... "items" I got to sort, count, and cross out all of the barcodes on all of the products.  

You want to know how much there is?














That plus more that we bought at Walmart.
That is a hefty load.  
We sorted, counted, and crossed out barcodes for about 3 Family nights. 
I less than three my family. 
I set a date to drop off the items.  
About 10 months have passed after I started on my project. 
And I can see the light.  
Yesterday. 
Wednesday. 
The Tenth. 
We loaded up the van with Tampons, Pads, Shampoo, and pretty much anything else you could thing of.
And we were on our way.  
We got there and we unloaded it.  
There was a lot lot lot lot lot of stuff. 
They have you weigh it.  
They have a pretty darn big scale there.  
Found out that I have broke 110 pounds. 
Just barley.
Don't worry.  
All of that is pure muscle.  
All together. 
We collected a total of 2837 dollars worth of items.
Umm.  
Yes. 
That is a lot.  
We concluded with our closing meeting. 
And, then I left.  
That was it. 
After of almost a year of work, it was over just like that. 
It may have been the best feeling that I have ever felt in my life. 
Thinking of how many lives I have changed. 
The main reason I am posting this blog is the say thanks to all of the people that spend hours and hours of their lives, to help me complete my Eagle. 
138 hours to be exact.  
138 of other people's time to help me complete my project. 
All I can say is wow.  
Thank you so much.  
From.

Things you may not know about me.

Mondays and Fridays seem to be the best and worst days for me.
Sometimes...I see dead.... Buttermoths.
Before 1 week and 2 days ago, I had never been to a dance.  Of any kind.
I was almost abducted.
When I was sitting in my mothers van, this random guy walked up, opened  the door, and put the van into reverse. I was scared out of my flippen mind.
And I was like seven.
I didn't know what to do.
Sidney saved me.
What a saint.
I have never held a females hand.
I have a rock.  Impaled under my skin.
We have tried to dig it out a few times.
But, we have failed.
It is about half a darn inch down there.
I cannot text with a phone that has numbers.
I need a keyboard.
I have been told I have very long and luscious eyelashes my many people.
My sister pops all of my pimples, zits, and blackheads.
I have perfected only one multitasking skill.
I can take a shower, brush my teeth, and wash my hair and face at the same time.
Pretty darn pro if you ask me.
I enjoy my ward.
I enjoy my ward a lot.
I am finishing my eagle this Wednesday.
I have sworn once.
When I was sleepwalking.
I called my sister a pretty rude name...
I have no memory of this incident.
I don't feel right when my phone isn't in my pocket...
I feel kind of naked....
I once got banned from Facebook chat.
I really don't know how.
I like brushing my teeth.
I take very hot and long showers.
I am blamed for the high electricity bills because of it.
I want to go to some tropical place on my mission.
Or somewhere in Europe.

Yes.
So, now you might know a bit more about me.

Daylight Savings and Many Much Other Stuff

First off.
Merry Christmas.
In a month and then in 3/4th of a month.
Anyways.
Usually I am Oober excited for Daylight Savings in the Fall.
Fall=Back
Spring=Forward
I don't like it in the Spring.
But this year.
This year is different.
Fast Sunday, Mixed with church at 1:00, And the clocks set back an hour means that we get to pretty much not eat for an extra hour.
Anyways.
My English 10 Honors class, yes, honors.
I am such a good student.
For that class, we have to write in what we call, A Writers Notebook.
I can never write in journals.
I always try, and always fail.
I stay on it for about a week.
Then maybe skip a day...
Then say, "I will do it tomorrow."
And then, It is never heard of ever again.
So.
I asked her if in the stead of writing in a notebook, if my blog would count.
She said yes.
So, everyone say hi to Mrs. Gallagher.
She will be reading my blog on and off.

I am enjoying my new CD.
It is quite nifty.
I like it.

This Wednesday.
My dang Eagle will be finished.
Three cheers for my eagle being done.
"Cheer"
"Cheer"
"Cheer"
So.
My unofficial "Done with my eagle party" will be at Thanksgiving Point.
At Midnight.
On the 19th.
At the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, PART ONE
That will be my party.
I have decided.
This eagle has prevented me from many things.
Getting a chance at money income.
Getting my permit.
(When you go to get your permit, be sure go bring a full size birth certificate.)
Yes.
I do feel pretty darn bad for you Olivia.

For orchestra "tour", we are going to Denver, Colorado.
I am so excited.
We are touring a beer factory.
We get to see how Coors is made.
The only thing is...
Why does band and choir get to go to Disneyland.
Last year, band went to Disneyland....
Orchestra went to Salt Lake City....
But still.
Get what you get, don't throw a fit.
Tour will be awesome.
The only problem is...
How in the craps will I come up with 500 bucks when I have no job/money income?
I will figure that out later.

I babysat yesterday.
This was the first time in a very long time.
I got there.
Their mom warned me.
"My girls have a big crush on you."
I did my "good joke, haha" laugh.
They left.
She was telling me the truth...
So...
The girls wanted me to play barbies with them.
I... decided to play wii with the male in the house.
His name is Dason.
He is pretty cool.
It comes at around 9:00 and the kids have their bed time.
I read them a story....
A few stories to be exact....
About five.
They went to bed.
They gave me permission to watch the television when the kiddos fell asleep.
They have a.... about.... maybe 62 inch T.V.
It was huge.
I was enjoying it.
They also have the food network.
Double enjoyable...ment...
Food always looks better when it is about 10 times it's original size.
They said they would be home around 11:30
They got home at about 10.
So, they paid me.
I went home.
I looked at how much they paid me.
They must had made a mistake.
They paid me 45 dollars.
I babysat for about 2 hours.
And an hour of that the kids were in bed.
So, looking back...
I got paid 45 dollars for, playing wii, reading some stories, and watching people cook really good food.
Easy money?
I must say yes.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World comes out this Wednesday.
Excited?
Yes.
Very.
I will have to spend some of my Denver money to go and get that movie.
I am going to get the cool combo pack that comes with the DVD, Blue ray, and a Digital Copy.
That will probably be a big blow to the money so far earned.
Worth it?
Oh baby yes.
I think of it as, "It will keep me entertained on the bus ride to Denver."
So, it is helping me get to Denver...
That is how I will think of it.

I would just like to say, my thoughts and prayers are with the Johnson Family.
Blake Johnson, a student of PGHS, passed away on Wednesday night.
Pray for his family and friends.
No one should die that young.
No one.

This is my blog post.
From.

This post has no title

Today, I finished counting the rest of my eagle stuff.
I am officially ready to give it to the Food and Care Coalition.
I will be in need for some help.
I have to bring it to the place, put it away, then, I am done.
Send in my paperwork and I am done with my eagle.
I will probably rejoice in song and prayer like they do in the Book of Mormon.
So, I am pretty sure you don't want to miss that.
Tonight is combined mutual.
Best mutuals are combined.
Yes.
Like ice skating.
And dodgeball.
I am quite excited for tonight.
Yes.
I am disliking school right now.
There is too much school work.
And I mean really.
When am I ever going to graph a rational number in my life.
That is why they invented graphing calculators.
For reals Larson.
Don't make us suffer.
Let us use calculators.
Did I tell you tonight is Combined Mutual.
Just thought I would let you know.
From.
Spencer.

My goal this year.

My goal this year?
Well.  I should say this school year.
The year is almost over.
You can tell because it is freezing.
And my siblings are starting to watch Christmas movies.
But anyways.
My goal for this school year.
I am going to finish the Doctrines and Covenants.
Yes.
They are starting to get a little boring...
But, they will be finished.

Today at Walmart

So.
For all of you who don't know.
I have been working on my eagle.
For some time now.
About 10 flippen months.
It is getting a little old.
I did a Hygiene Drive for the Food and Care Coalition.
For full details, click it.
Anyways...
I got a whole bunch of money from people who wanted to donate, but they were too "busy" to go out and buy items so they gave me some cash. 
I went to Walmart with my mom to go and buy hygiene items...
I get there.   
We go to the medicine isle and get some pain killer.  
Then we go to a place that I really didn't want to enter.  
The Wall of Feminine Hygiene Products
Ya...
Never want to see that again. 
My mom grabs about 150 dollars worth of... those and puts them into my cart.  
There was a cart for my project, not for me personally, and a cart for her stuff she needed.  
I was thinking to myself, "what is going to happen when someone I know sees me..."
We see right after I think that, we see Sister Gover... 
She doesn't see us.  
False alarm. 
We hurry and collect the rest of the stuff like razors, toothpaste, ect...
My mom needed to pick up my brother from pre school. 
The last time she was in a hurry she accidentally bought an extra 100 tickets, but that is another story...
We get to the check out line, she leaves me to buy the stuff.  
So.  There I am.  
In a line.
I was texting Emilee.  She keeps telling me to be strong.
It is kind of hard to be strong with 300 dollars worth of Hygiene items and half of them are specifically for women.
There is a person in front of me, eyes my cart, and starts to talk to me.  
She first asks me if those are for me, gesturing to the surplus of pads and tampons in my cart.  
I say "ha ha, no.  They are for my eagle project."  With a friendly smile.
She gives me a lecture about how buying pads in bulk will save me money.  
I agree and she leaves. 
FINALLY.  
It is my turn.  
The casher looks at me... 
Study's my face, probably so she can make fun of me in the future, and asks me what I needed these for.  
I give her the speech about my eagle project.   
I leave.  
I never want to enter that store again...


Today is Monday. Minimal to be exact.

Today.  
Today is Minimal Monday.  
I quite enjoy these Mondays.  
Minimal Mondays means an extra hour of Starcraft 2.  
Yes.  
I quite enjoy those kind of games.  
And I know that today is going to be a good day. 
I woke up at 6:20
And just stayed in bed.  
I checked my facebook.  
Nothing that cool has happened.  
I went to get some pants.  
And I said, crap.  
They are all in the laundry...
I went to the laundry room. 
Some nice saint was cool enough to put them in the washer for me.  
But, probably due to sleep fatigue, didn't put them in the dryer.  
So I get to wait about half an hour for them to dry.  
Strolling around the house in boxers.  
Yes.  
Today is going to be a good day. 
A very good day.  
I can already tell.

Thanks to the 6 hours of reviews that I went to, I got that grade.
I will improve next Term.
How were your grades?
From.
Spencer.

Halloween: 2010

It all started out when I was sitting at the computer.
Wondering what I should be this year. 
I am usually what Jim Halbert is off of the Office.  
Last year, I was facebook, year before that, three hole punch. 
This year, he was Popeye.  
I didn't own a pipe. 
I am mormon, so my family didn't own a pipe either. 
So, I couldn't do that. 
Then.  When talking to Olivia, she gave me the idea.  
Julian Smith. 
I quite liked it.  
Actually, I really liked that idea.  So, thank you for the idea.  
I got a box of waffles, and went on my way with a V-neck shirt and glasses.



















There is me and a picture of the guy I was supposed to be.  Can you tell who is who? 
I went on my way to trunk or treat.  
Five minutes into this joyous occasion, it started to rain...
And rain harder...
And harder....
And then just a constant downpour.  
It rained until the ground was wet.  
My mom was in need to go to walmart.  
I exchanged some money with her and she came home with this.










Oh baby yes.  
The new Taylor Swift CD, Speak Now.  
Probably the best one yet.
The only bad parts are that there are two songs, that are really slow... REALLY SLOW, that go on for almost seven minutes.  

Really.  


For the first time, I was halfway through it and I had to skip it.  
Sorry Taylor.  
Couldn't stand it.  
At about 7:15 I went with my parents to my grandpa's.  
I love my grandpa.  
He is the best. 
He got all decked out for Halloween.  
It was amazing.  
He made his driveway all spooky and whatnot, and in his garage, he had all of his amazing toys that he gets out of magazines.  It was amazing.  
He also wrote down the WHOLE process of photosynthesis.  
I so wish I took a picture of it.  
It was the most complex thing I have ever seen.  
It was awesome. 
Next, I get a call from Noah Shumway.  
He asked me if I wanted a ride to the stake dance. 
I said ok. 
I haven't ever been to a stake dance.  
We got there about right as it started.  
Yes.  We don't believe in arriving fashionably late.  
Just right on time.  
When we got there...
No one was flippen even there.  
I turned to Noah and said.  
"Wow.  This is fun.  Best dance I have ever been to.  I could stay all night."
(For all of you who don't know me, I tend to, sometimes, be very sarcastic.  I enjoy sarcasm.  I just like it. So I am a sarcastic person.  Just for your information.)
But as the night went on.  
The party grew funner.  
((I should say 'more fun,' but really,  who cares about english grammar anyways.  Too complex.))
I got taught how to dance, thanks Olivia Petty
I got made fun of because I sucked,  thanks Emilee Keele.
Hey.  First time. 
Give me a break.  
So.  That is how my Halloween ended.  
How was yours?
From.

Best Report Ever.

So, this essay.  Report.  However you want to say it.
Only report that I have ever gotten full credit on.  And I had no help whatsoever.
So.  Here it is.
Enjoy.
I know you will.


How The Merryweather Family Got So Dang Ripped.

One day, a few years back, there was a man.  This was an ordinary man. He was 
what you would call a modern day redneck named Billy Merryweather.  He was out working in the fields one day when he stumbled across an injured weasel-dog.  He was about to put it out of its misery when he heard it say, “Wait. Don’t kill me.  If you can heal me I can make your life awesome!”  So, he took the animal home, and healed it.  When the weasel-dog was all better, he told the man, “Thank you so much for healing me.  For this, I will grant you 3 wishes.”  Well, the man thought this was almost the coolest thing that has ever happened to him, except for that one time he won a years supply of rice pudding.  He thought that was pretty darn cool too, but that’s a story for another day. 
He thought about what he could wish for. It could be anything he wanted.            Maybe a donkey to ride into town? That would be sweet, but because he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, he used his first wish for a gallon of ice cream. 
The weasel-dog looked at him with a stupid expression.  He asked him if that was what he really wanted to waste his first wish, but before Billy the redneck could answer, there appeared a gallon of  Rocky Road ice cream in front of him.  So, Billy sat there for the next 28 minutes and ate himself some ice cream.  He enjoyed it very much. 

For his next wish he wanted to not be so hot when he was working in the fields.  So, he wished for a way to make it not so hot when working in the melon patches during the day.  He slept and had the greatest dream.  He dreamt of himself, working in the field, and he had no shirt on.  And that is why rednecks don’t wear shirts too often.

His third and last wish.  He didn’t know what he should wish for.  He used his brain, which rarely happens, and he though of something that would make himself happy, and his great grandchildren after him.  He approached the weasel-dog.  The animal asked him if he was going to wish for something stupid and worthless again, but Billy said no.  He had thought of the perfect wish.  He went up to the weasel-dog and said.  “I wish that myself, and all the Merryweather’s who come after me will be very ripped.  Ripped as in strong.” 

So, the weasel-dog granted him his wish, and left to do whatever weasel-dogs do.  And Billy, he found a girl and had a few kids.  And that, is how the Merryweather family got so dang ripped.

It's a little long. 
But you know, it is awesome.

My Mother's relationship with Harry Potter 7 Part 1.

So.
My mom must love Harry Potter a lot.
So.  She went and bought about 98 extra tickets to the Midnight showing.
So.  You want one?
I know where you can be hooked up.
It's 9 dollars and 50 cents.
It is the on the 18/19th of November.
THURSDAY NIGHT EARLY FRIDAY MORNING
Lets not mix that up.
It's a school night.  But really.  Who cares about school when Harry Potter is coming out.
Like really.
We need to sell them.
With love

Sept. 30th, 2010.
The world lost the best grandmother in the world.
You may think you have the best grandma.
But you don't.
I do.
You don't know this because you never had her as a grandmother.
I love you Grandma.
My grandma loved everyone.
Everyone loves grandma.
It worked out that way.
I love her more that anything else.
I have never had anything like this happen in my life.
I have been lucky to have all of my grandparents.
I love you grandma.
I love you.

Facebook.

I should really quit getting on...
Facebook is a disease.
That spreads the second you click log in....
I hate Facebook.  Big time-waster.
I don't know if I could quit cold turkey.
I don't know if I could even try...
But I will.
Bye Facebook.
Maybe...

Eagleness....

No.  Not that kind of Eagleness.
But I must admit, Nacho has some pretty flippen sweet Eagle Powers.
But, alas, I am talking about my Eagleness.  My eagle project.
For my project I did a Hygiene Drive for the Food and Care Coalition of Provo.
It was quite long. On March 24 to be exact.
 I started this project with a meeting with Nancy Willes at the Food and Care.
And I will end it with another meeting at the Food and Care Coalition... Hopefully in the next few weeks.
Yes.  Eagle, you have been quite the experience.  Not being able to get my Learner's permit... Restricting me from getting a job...  Banning me from serving my community....
Stuff like that.
I am sad that your leaving.....
Yes.  I do too love sarcasm.
I am glad to get this out of my way.
Now I can put this on my job resume
(No,  I didn't mean that to rhyme)
Well.  You are almost done.  All is left to do is spend the cash that I got/am going to get.
I may enjoy doing that.
To the three people who read my blog, remember.
It's not too late to donate.
The end.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.


I quite liked this show.  
Very much.
At the start of the movie... I didn't know if I would like it.  When I first heard that Scott Pilgrim sounded like Justin Beiber... I was scared that I wouldn't like this movie.
But it ended... And I told my mom that we should stay in the theater for the 10:30 show.
She didn't like it as much as I did.
(I could find like the movie cover....  I was too lazy.)
Best Character award goes to Wallace Wells.
So.  That's about all.
Good movie.
I want to see it again.
I finished the biggest part of my eagle project.
So I am going to be getting my permit soon.

Youtube.... My Best Friend.

Youtube is quite possibly the greatest thing ever invented...
I love it.  
Almost as much as I love food.  
But food still beats out Youtube.  
And the church just flippen owns. 
Anyways, back to Youtube. 
I found some really "interesting" things.  
First...   Carl.
Carl is amazing.
Carl is the best.
Next....  I am amused my some dude named Fred.
I like it.
Last, but really not least.  We have some guy named Antoine Dodson
Yes. I think he is my hero.
