Nick-names

I have a bunch of Nick-names. Here are some.

Rebekah (this is like my second name I respond well to it.)
Peacock (don't know why I have this...)
Chuck von chuckles the third
Snooze bug (cause I am always tired)
Francheska

Some others too... But I can't think of them.
I went through a phase where if someone didn't answer me I would call them something else untill they did. And then it stuck. One is Kirby, Ahbrigayle, muhlahnie (all said like they are spelled) and ya.
That's it for today!

Fundraising

Can I just say that I hate fundraising? Okay, I hate it. You're probably thinking: then just don't do it.
And if I didn't have to earn like 1000 dollars this year by myself, then I wouldn't.
Here is how it adds up:
Choir tour: about $500
ASL silent weekend: $50
Wood shop: at least $300 (a very low guess... seeing as a pen is 5 dollars...)
Quilt (this is something i chose to do...) Probably about 200 ish on the low end
So I have to walk around selling/trying to sell Starving student cards. For a total of 30 dollars each. And Krispie Kreme cards for 12. And if I didn't have to earn all that money then I wouldn't be doing it.
So (sorry to ask) does anyone want to help buy buying one or donating? Also if you have scrap material or would like to help sew the quilt that would be appreciated!
So if you have questions let me know! (sorry for asking you guys...)

Sensitivity

Have you ever noticed how some people are super sensitive? I have. And not always about everything?
I have noticed that once you or a close one have gone through something, such as: Cancer, Death, War, etc. nothing is quite as funny about that anymore.
I have a friend who's uncle is at war. Some kid at her school was talking about how soldiers were pointless. She didn't like this and stood up for it. Didn't laugh.
 I was like that with cancer the other day. Some guy was like you're cancerous! and I went from being goofy, to serious and let him know that I was not okay with that.
Other people are like that too. And I think we need to have respect for them, and watch what we say. We could have a huge effect on someone by saying something simple!

Special Request and Some Other Stuff

Special Request:
So I found out today that one of the seminary teachers at Provo High has a son who was diagnosed with Leukemia. If you could keep his family, and especially his son, in your prayers, that would be great! Thank you!

Other stuff:
I will tell a somewhat embarrassing moment.
So this one time in ballroom I was goofing around. I had on knee high socks that were super slippery, and I was running across the room and sliding. Then I tried to turn around and ended up falling down, In that breif second, I thought: cry, or laugh? then thought it through again and started laughing. It was super funny, but embarrassing. Anyways! thats it for the day!

Insomnia

Today is going to be a random post!
So I have something called....

INSOMNIA

DUN DUN DUN. See, last night it really kicked in. Like really. I was exhausted after conference, but couldn't fall asleep.
So after about an hour of just laying there, I decided to play on my iPod. I ended up on YouTube. For quite a while. Then I decided that I would practice guitar. In that process I ended up cutting my nails, and a bunch of other stuff. Until about 3 am

I got about 3-4ish hours of sleep. When this happens its like I am on a sugar high. Ask my friends.

Here is what happened today:
I ran around at lunch with no shoes on
Tried to slide down a railing that has no slope
Acted like I was a Unicorn
Sang (well, which never happens around people) Songs like, Lou Lou skip to my Lou while skipping
Skipped
Yelled awkwardly while running away from Kaylie
Fell asleep in US gov because I had seen that movie we were watching.
Tried to push that football thing, but ended up hurting myself
AND THE LIST GOES ON.

So my question is, will I be able to sleep tonight? Will I be tired enough? NO! No matter how tired I am, I can never sleep.
Another question, If getting 3 hours of sleep was not a bad thing for your health, would I do it more often? Yes! Because life is just more fun when I am on that 'no sleep high'!

Cancer

So you know how they have that cancer awareness time for breast cancer? Okay, I understand that, but what about all the other cancers? Why don't they all get a special month, color, sign, and what not?

I just think that its not fair to the people who have cancer. How many of you could name off cancers other than Breast cancer? Here are some. Lets have a quiz shall we?

Ovarian cancer
Cervical cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Leukemia
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Esophageal cancer
Liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer
Colon and rectal cancer
Prostate cancer
Breast cancer

What ones do you know?
What percentage did you get?
What are your thoughts do you have about cancer?
Anyone else think other cancers should have more attention?
