I've been racking my brain looking for a stupid story to put up here (because i know i have MANY of them) and while talking to John Austin tonight one came to mind! So everybody can thank him for this story!
Stuck in a tree
When I was 8 years old my big brother, Jonathan, decided it was time I learned how to climb a REAL tree!!! (I had climbed other trees..but they didn't count cause i didn't have to climb on top of anything to reach the lowest trunk or whatever). So we climb it, and he jumps down..and i freeze. I couldn't get down!!! So Jonathan runs inside to get Mom. Now, My mom was VERY pregnant at this point and DEFINATLYcouldn't hold her 8 year old daughter, and to make things even more fun...Dad was out of town. So here we are, I'm stuck ina tree, Jonathan is having a blast, and Mom is freaking out cause we dont' know how to get me down!!! So she has this wonderful idea, she was gonna call one of our friends to see if he was near an could come get me down. Best part is, he works for teh fire department. So he comes, and brings the BIG truck with him! So its the middle of the afternoon, our quiet neighborhood now has a firetruck in the road...great..how much worse could it get?? Mr Ronnie climbs out of his truck, walks over to teh tree..and starts laughing. "Donna, when you said she was stuck in a tree...i figured she was STUCK in a tree". Mr Ronnie held out his arms, picked me up, and put me back on the ground. i was at the MOST 6 1/2 feet above solid ground. *sigh*...only me!!!
Pride goes before the Goat Trailor
**names have been changed to protect the "innocent"
You know how "Pride goes before the fall". Well Pride also goes before crashing into a goat trailer!! Ok...first let me say..IIIII didn't crash!! It was my lil bro. **bob. A few years back, when Bob was about...10 or so..we had this mini-dirtbike. Now it was rather spiffy....and Bob absolutly loved it. Now he had this thing about impressing the ladies..and there was this girl who rode her bike in front of our house every single day! She was like 17 or something. But hey..Bob didn't care! I mean...come on..7 years isn't much of a differance! *snicker*. Anyways, One day Bob was out on the dirtbike and he noticed she had stopped to watch him ride. Now, being the smooth (and slightly chubby boy he was then) guy he is...he took off his shirt and threw it aside, he revved that mighty engine, and took off!!!! Not a few seconds later....*BBBAAAMMMM*,. Yup...right smack dab in the goat trailer *sigh*. You think he would have learned too huh?? He ran into our fence the same way about 3 more times after that trying to impress my friends.
Late Night Fright
A few months ago..as i was sleeping in my bed, Mom and Grandma came bursting in my room. That scared me enough...THEN they said "We have to take your dad to the emergancy room..get up now!!!" I was out of bed in a flash and rushed into the din. It was 3:45 am...I looked up to see my dad walking around bending quite a bit. I could tell he was having alot of problems breathing..it looked like his chest was hurting him. My lil bro Josh was awake too..I asked "whats wrong!??!?!?!" but mom never answered me. They left a few minutes later and said they would call me as soon as they knew something. Now...for those of you who know how i handle situations like that...i was completly, 100% TERRIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was shaking like a leaf thinking my dad was dying and there was nothing i could do about it! So what do I do in my time of trouble?? I GRABBED THE LAPTOP AND GOT ONLINE!!! Thankfully Andrew was still on..and i freaked out to him about it all. finally...i calmed down a bit and realized it was 4:20..they shoudl be at the hospital..so i logged off and waited for their call. At 4:45...i saw my mom walk into our kitchen door..which is EASILY visible from our room. She looked VERY distraught...and the first thing that came to my mind was 'DADS DEAD AND THEY LEFT HIM ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".....its amazing how weird my mind can get. not 2 seconds later dad walked in the door..i sat there on the recliner...with a movie on the tv....looking like a deer caught in the headlights!!!!!!! I sputtered a few words..probably something like "what?? how... you...here...huh??". All mom said was "your dad made us come home!!!!" He sat me down and told me it was his galbladder again..but he stopped hurting so they turned around. WHEW....but seriously...how many ppl woudl think "DADS DEAD AND THEY LEFT HIM ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!!!"
Kates Party- Part 1.
I should have known the INSTANT mom asked me if I would drive the Wilkins (My Pastors family) van to Kates party that something would go wrong. But I decided to play "positive" and told myself numerous times it would all be GREAT!!! I arrive at the Wilkins house about 3 that day, we were going to leave at 3:15. Mrs Wendy goes on to tell me that the inspection sticker expired in May of last year, so just tell the cop they went to get a new one but have to fix their windsheild first if I get pulled over. Then she told me about how the steering wheel has alot of "play". Uhh...Ok...I could still do this right? I mean, just because I haven't driven a van in what...6 months...uh...ok..I was getting nervous. But did my best to keep thinking totally positive. It ended up being Charity, Anna Lynn, Anna, and Katherine in the van with me. So we are heading out. We dead end at Arkansas road to make our 2 turn. A few moments later I ask Anna the name of the road for our next turn. She told me "Stansburry". SO we drive, and we drive.....we enter a differant parish. WE keep driving...and keep driving....another parish. Hm..Ok...getting a lil bit nervous. We keep driving...and I see a sign for "Vienna". I SCREAMED "OH MY GOSH!!!!!" Everybody asks what and I said "We are in Vienna, we are in RUSTON!!!!!!!" Ruston was WWAAAYYY far away from where we were supposed to be. We kept going for a few more minutes then all screamed with excitement because we saw a gas station. We pulled into it and went inside to ask for directions. Just incase we hadn't passed it yet. I go to the lady at the register and ask her if she knew where Stansburry road is. She said "No..why dont' you ask them?" I turned to see about 10 people in the gas staion. So I say, and loud enough for EVERYBODY to hear me "does ANYBODY know how to get to Stansburry Road??". They all looked at me like I was insane. But a nice lady came over to help us and told us we needed to turn around. So we did. We travelled 30 minutes in the wrong direction. Just to found out the next mornign on the way home...Stansburry road was about a minute away from the Arkansas Road turn of....DOH!!!!!
Kates Party- Part 2.
After finally making it to the Lake House where the party was, we had an absolute blast!!! Loads of fun!!!! We were playing murder in the dark..and just getting EXTREMELY goofy. WE all had WAY too much sugar in our system. Katherine and I were doing kicks and just being goofy. She showed me one of her highest kick, so I decided to show her how low my high kick is. Now, I soon discoverd that Socks and Rugs dont' do well together on Kicks. As I FLUNG my right leg in the air....my left leg decided to join it. I flew straight up in the air just to land on my butt/back/head. I couldn't get up, I'm not sure if it was because I was in so much pain, or because I was laughign so hard. But I had the whole place rolling in laughter! When I finally stood up all I could do was say "leave it to me". And walked over to Mrs Hill to see if I was the murderer or not (I wasn't).
The Quotes
My best friend, Jordy, Lives in Idaho now. And I beleive it was my 2 trip to see her 2 years ago that this little event happened. We were getting ready to go to sleep one night, just laying in bed talking about all kinds of stuff. Then we started talking about movies and funny quotes and I so GENIOUSLY said "I want to be a quotes-person". Jordy asked "Do you mean a play-write?" and I said "No...I just want to write the quotes. Not the whole script..just the quotes". Even in the dark I could sense Jordy giving me one of those "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?!?!?" looks! That is somethign that will forever remain in both of our memories. Ahh....where does my brain go sometimes??
Karate- 1.
So tonight is Karate night! ALRIGHT!!! I absolutly LOVE my Tae Kwan Do Class. But it never fails I do something REALLY stupid! I was doing pretty well tonight, except for the fact that the airfreshener was making me sick to my stomach and a bit high. But other than that, I was doing pretty well. Then my instructor, Mr Barry, comes up to me. He says "You and your brother look SO MUCH alike". So I say "I KNOW!!!! Isn't it weird??? He really takes after me" and Mr. Barry then says "No...you take after him." I didn't know what he was talking about! My little brother Jacob and I are almost exactly alike, so I once again argued "NO...he takes after me! I came FIRST!". Mr Barry got a confused look on his face...then after a moment asked me "Which brother are you talking about?".....I look at him...and I am TOTALLY confused and answer "Jacob". Thats when he starts laughing and says "I was talking about your OLDER brother!". Did I feel stupid...YES INDEED! But Jacob and I do look alot alike...and I didn't know Jonathan had been there earlier..so after a while I figured those were good excuses and didn't feel so dumb anymore.
What happens after working at our store all day long.
I want it to be known, Calen gave me permission to put this on here! hahaha :)
After a hard, hot, and LONG days work at my family store. Grandma came to get supper orders. We were getting subway. Calen, one of my best friends, was graciously helping us out that hot summers day. As Grandma got to us, she asked Calen what she wanted. Calen replied, exhausingly, "I want a BLT, with Lettuce and Tomatoe". My Grandma just kind of stared at her for a minute, then asked her again what she wanted. Calen replied "I'd like a BLT with Lettuce and Tomato". Grandma, with the same look on her face, just walked away. After a few moments Calen realized what she had said. "Kat...a BLT comes with Lettuce and tomatos already" she said....I couldn't help but laugh.
This is just something I wrote out of the blue today while waiting for my food at sonic. Kind of a "no thinker"...just wrote it and haven't touched it. so..enjoy! haha
Forever- Tabby (me)
She stood there shivering, even though it wasn't cold.
So much confusion and pain in her heart.
She was 17, so young and pretty.
But she fealt weak and tired, she fealt so old.
What happened to the love he promised?
What caused his word to bend?
What turned him against her?
When did forever end?
Her home so familiar before, now a labyrinth to her eyes.
She fell to the floor, without the strength to rise.
Mother helped her to her room, and tried to calm her down.
"Don't blame yourself for Father, you did nothing wrong!"
What happened to the love he promised?
What caused his word to bend?
What made him turn against them?
When did forever end?
5 years have passed, since that heartbreaking day.
Both she and mom have replaced the love, that Father threw away.
Uncle walked her down the aisle, as she looked in her grooms eyes
A love she never knew before, Father....in my heart you have died.
She doesn't need the love he promised.
Or the word he bent
He left them on his own.
Forever was about to begin.
This is something I wrote not too long ago. I'm sure you can guess what it is about. Good ol' Jad put music to this one actually! THANKS JAD!!!!
I Can't Wait- Tabby and Capt. Canada
I showed my awsome canadian friend a poem i wrote, and he put music to it. and this was the result :)
I saw the stars tonight,
I haven't seen them in a while.
I saw the moon tonight,
I couldn't help but smile.
I wanted to lie down
To take all of it in.
I wanted to stop time
I didnt' want it to end.
When will you be here
Right by my side?
When will it happen?
Where do you hide?
I can't wait to meet you
I can't wait till you are here.
I can't wait to hold you
I can't wait till you are near.
Where are you now?
Are you near are you far?
Do I already know you?
Can you see the stars?
When will you be here
Right by my side?
When will it happen?
Where do you hide?
I can't wait to meet you
I can't wait till you are here.
I can't wait to hold you
I can't wait till you are near.
