Flocking

            
Today was so blah it was a half day, i went in at 10 took my Spanish III final and went home, slept for about four hours and then got dressed in all black to go flock my teachers house. flocking is kind of our school's specialty, normally someone pays us to go to someones house and take like a million pink plastic flamingos and stick them all over the yard, then they will be all like "omg where did all of these come from?" then they will see the flier on the door saying something along the lines of "you've been FLOCKED sucka! to get these flamingos off ur yard you have to pay the small price of... to the winterum..." its really fun, but because it is Christmas time we decided to do "striping" so we do candy canes instead, except we couldn't afford giant candy canes, so we got the lil ones and some candy cane wrapping paper and decorated his whole car all the trees and taped candy canes every where, and all that before 10 o'clock. if you would like to "stripe" someone you know E male me it is only $10 and all we need is the mon$$ and an address.  tell your friends!

modeling

a while ago Savannah and i were asked by a few guys in a photography class if we would be models for their assignment, so naturally we agreed to helping them out, they ended up turning out pretty nice, although i now wish that we could take some more so i could wear an outfit where the strap didn't continuously pop off.

so it was a fun experience any how, they did a fantastic job i must say. they made us look like friggen angels. anyway, i got to go and study, finals are this week *yuck* i hope i can make it. and i am so looking forward to mu 17th comin up on the 21st i cant wait not to be 18 another year!

Creative???

I'm not really a fashion blogger (though i wish i was) but i can appreciate creativity when i see it, what am i talking about? you may be asking... I'm talking about these........

I found out about them from my friend Davis who wanted me to watch "Fashion Orgasm" with him.

they look like bee hives...... and very uncomfortable to walk in. And I know that fashion is not about comfort or practical-ness but come on!

I mean, yes they are kinda cool, very creative, it makes me wonder what Alexander McQueen's inspiration was... maybe Firefly? not the band, the show about the future. 

so even though they are strange, they are unique, and I will never shut down a creative idea when i see one.
Admittedly, I do like them a little more because of Lady GaGa.

updates!!!!!

1. last year, when spending time at home, because a doctor told me i had something (that i didn't) he put me on some medication that made me a little, well, crazy, I couldn't concentrate in class I cried about every thing and became very depressed. This made me stay home for a week, when i was at home, I was told to keep busy with things that make me happy. I enjoy crafts, scrap booking, jewelry making, and i stumbled apon a web site that told me how to make head bands. I made a lot, this one on my baby sis i made especially for her, (I told her that she could have it if i could take pictures of her in it to use as my "prototype"). So this is the first of many to come and appear on my blog.

2. At the Farm (where Savannah goes to school) they make all the Ninth Graders participate in some thing called "capstone" it is a project that involves every subject, when i was attending the farm my capstone was ceramics. Savannah also went in the art direction, and chose photography, (we both like to find beauty in ugly).   

3. This is my beautiful cousin, who i try and spend a lot of time with. she gets bigger every time I see her.

4. Third time's the charm, Nov. 30 is the "big date" im taking it in Banning, so hopefully i pass this time. (fingers crossed).

5. i just got a hair cut, i have forehead bangs again. i was afraid to go to school cuz i thought i looked like a boy, but every one said i look cute.

Thats all the Ashleigh update...

                                               until next time, XOXO ash

Nope, Davis, Im sorry, i cant pull it off "xoxo ashleigh bachar" it dosn't sound as good as yours :(

Balated Halloween

This Halloween, Savannah was Robyn the side kick of the all too amazing Bat Man! i was Pocahontas or Sacajawea or some kind of other Indian. and dad was some kind of serial killer i think he was trying to be Dexter form the popular show on Showtime.
                                                             
 Savannah and my night consisted of "trick or treating" with a fairly large amount of friends, then back to Jamie's house to watch a crappy movie that no one was invested in about cannibalistic hobos and we decided to turn off not even half way through the "film" if that's what you could even call it that. Then Savannah and I spent the night over at Mariah's house (that's our Black sister) all in all,  it wasn't too bad of a night.

Haloween (Homecoming) Dance

over all this dance was my favorite, everyone danced there was no drama, and by drama i mean some girl crying in the corner cuz the boy she liked is dancing with someone else instead of her. i would have to say that it was by far the best Grove dance that i have ever been to wayyyyy beter than last years prom.

we danced, we laughed, we sang at the top of our lungs we took lots of pics

hung out with the new friends we have made over this new year (this is Chelsea she is my best friend)
the lion and the mouse :)

and hung out with old friends (Landon)

and of course, cool down with a nice cool soda outside.
all in all i had a fan-frickin-tactic nite. props to the 09 ASB they did well
they did well.

yesterday was a hard day, i took my drivers test, and, i didn't pass. i was so sad; and humiliated, i had to tell everyone who was praying for me that i failed, how embarrassing! any way, i was so nervous that i got an automatic fail, i finished the test and the instructor told me about the fail, she kept talking, but my heart was pounding so loud in my ears that i didn't try to listen. i felt mortified!  i stept out of the car to my mom behind the camera, documenting the worst part of my day. i couldn't smile i couldn't hear, all i could do was walk and shake my head back and forth indicating my failure to my mother. i don't know how long i cried, but i could not talk for a long time. but im ok now.

every second counts.........

this has been truly a full year, my schedule is booked, it feels so chaotic but you wouldn't see it on the outside, because i can pass it off by looking better than i feel ! oh, the beauty of make-up! so, i have been so busy that i have barely had any time to  blog, and that makes me sad :(  because i love to write ! about anything ! i am in the middle o writing my second Novel right now, i know I'm just a "rookie" but i write because i get really great story ideas and i need to get them on paper so i can remember them always! i love writing with many characters because i can decide what they do,what they say and why they say and do those things. one i ge in to a story i have to write more, its like I'm reading a book i enjoy, but i control everything when i want drama i get it when i want romance, i ge it. it is really very thrilling. my latest book is about a girl named Aimie who is in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend of four ears (Keith). i think it is progressing well. other than that, my days consist of school, volley ball, practice, games, SAT prep, PSAT tests, and passing out on the couch around 8:30. i am a senior citizen. besides my youth being taken, i am having a great time with my old and new friends i have made over e past few weeks.

                              love,

now the summer is over and the good times continue in the new school year and our new grades and our new classes. Savannah is now in ninth grade, and i am entering the most difficult year of high school, junior year. and though were excited, we are also nervous, we no longer think, "which boy is cutest this year?" no. we think how many credits do i need to graduate, my mind has been focused on how im going to pay for my car and hen im going to get my license. and Savannah's mind is full of friends, school, and now, money raising for her trip to Uganda. so this year is going to be quite full but we are going to make the most of it and seize the day.

hi, i havnt blogged in such a long time and its killing me, so here i am. its hard to blog when you are bouncing around frome place to place, i have been home for like two days in between week long stays in other places. it really makes you miss sleeping in your own bed. after Forest Home, Mexico, Oklahoma, and Forest Home again; my days at home consist of laying around doing nothing and watching tapes of Friends, that's right, TAPES. i really enjoy my much needed relaxation. and to all my girls from camp week 9 who may be reading i miss ya and im glad we all became friends and im looking forward to seeing you all real soon.

-love ashleigh

beach trip and sad days

to day was the beach trip day, every year we (all our friends) go to the beach after graduation. but this trip was special because its the last one Eva can attend, why its so sad is because i had a driving lesson which caused me to miss out on all the action. that is ok as long as everyone had fun, and since i didn't go, there couldn't have been any near death experiences. my sister came home completely sun burnt but then again, she always comes home like that, and she doesn't put on sun screen when she is told. hope you all had fun. love you.

Agriculture at its best

the "farmies", though we are separated by campuses i still feel close to these girls. the help me when i need it including stupid videos that get me A's in class. there is never a dull moment with these girls they are always in the mood for fun and they are always themselves. they have grown so close to eachother that when one of them are missing it feels empty. it wont be the same next year unfortunately, Eva, the pretty one in the middle, is moving to vagas at the end of this month. Kalie, the pretty one in plad inbetween Eva and Savannah, is, as on this next school year, attendind REV. Mariah (M&M) the pretty one with the lollypop in her mouth, is going to the high school next year to be with me. that leaves Tyler (ty baby) the pretty one in the white sweat shirt, and Savannah, the pretty one in black, all alone next year with the 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. it will be different, but im sure that everyone will make the best of it. we will miss you Eva, Kalie, and Mariah.
i love you all
(my eyes just flutter in the mist of your lookin)
-love always,
Ashleigh Love

Mariah, my black sister. i have so much fun making videos with you, watching videos with you and everything else we do together. thank you for being such a great person and such a good friend. thank you for working out with me and thank you for pushing me when i cant push myself. but mostly thank you for always being true to who you are, you are always your self in every situation, thank you for being the fastest runner at our school, and thank you for your burst of energy, you are a breath of fresh air. and i love your laugh :)

HAIR

Finger waves, i want to start wearing my hair in this fashion but i am still learning how to do them.
i tried to do them on my little sister the other day but its not easy to do with straight hair, that is why i find it so difficult to do on myself.
so i will continue to practice and seek help from my aunt until i master this art. i cant wait 'till i graduate high school so that i can get an education in cosmetology!

the splender of period movies... A.K.A pride and prejudice

if you want a movie that makes your stomach turn (in a good way) and make you heart throb and make your lungs feel like they are going to explode than pride and prejudice is the movie for you! trust me when i say that you can watch it over and over again and never get tired of it. i know this because i have watched it at least two times everyday for the past two weeks. please rent it and watch with an open mind and an open heart and you will see i promise.

this is Amanda (Mandy) and Jenni they are so cute and should be "fashion icons" they are both incredibly beautiful yet they are never boastful. they are the sweetest of girls. with Jenni there is never an awkward moment and she constantly makes you laugh. and with Mandy, it can be totally silent yet somehow you still feel comfortable. i love you both and im glad that we met this year.

summer & beach trips

i was just thinking about how much fun our little beach trip was, even though i almost died, and Davis and i got in a fight, we still all had fun and i can't wait for our trip this year! its the last one with Eva before she moves to Vegas. we will miss you!

my friend chris, who has been a friend of the family for years, is doing a photo shoot of me and savannah to day, should be fun. ill post the pictures if i can have them.

Zack's last episode :(

it was Zack Braff's last episode tonight and many people are very sad and i am one of them. this post goes out to all the scrubs lovers.

photo shoots and old memories

this is my friend Cassie we grew up together, and i looked up to her till i was... well to be honest i still look up to her. i love her to death and i was so sad that we moved so far away from each other. but i loved to go see her on stage!

you see Cassie is a very talented girl, she sings beautifully, i have been lucky enough to see her in action, more than once! in fact l just got to see her in the production of beauty and the beast. she played bell and her boyfriend played that really conceded guy that wants to marry bell but she doesn't love him, you know? that guy. it was really good. there were even some people that whispered in the audience that she was the "good bell"; because their were two bells (they took turns).

any way Cassie, if your reading, i love you very much and i hope to spend more time with you in the future and i had fun with you and Zack and your mom and reminiscing with your brother about old times and Hitler.

LOVE YOU CASSIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Toms Shoes

anyone who knows me well knows that i am a huge toms supporter (thanks to davis, kinda) i have known about toms shoes since they began but i thought that stores were the only ones who sold them. any way davis and maranda did a report on them for cas and i told my mom and now we own lots of toms shoes. eir go my mother told me that their was going to be a toms raly at cbu so we went with a few other of our friends who are big toms supporters as well. so we ( my mom, Jemma, merel, saskia) went to the raly and had a great time. we watched the cbu students decorate their shoes, listened to a live band, and ate delishous food from wandas ( the on campus diner). it was great fun.

my mom, Jemma, and saskia were talking about this combined "MIR and Grove toms shoes raly" or a "style your soles" as toms likes to call it. so if you hear that there is going to be a toms raly in Redlands make sure you order some shoes and come decorate!
