So...

I WENT TO PARIS.

It was Hardcore RockStar.

The End.

I'm going to make this short. Thanksgiving my family and I went to Chicago to see my brother Clark in his show, Footloose. Overall, it was the most fun thanksgiving break i've ever had. Only 2 of my brothers weren't there. It was so cold and such a blast. I loved the show, and met a lot of really cool talented people.

It's Christmas Eve now, and doesn't feel like it at all. It's like..80 degrees or something crazy like that. I watched 3 of my brothers play football at Klein with some of their old school friends. Then Clay, Spencer, Travis and I went to kroger and  went skateboarding. Personally, i've never been on a skateboard, so i sucked a lot. It was way fun though, i would really like to get a skateboard and practice. We brought the camera, so all in all, we got some magical moments on camera. Last night the brothers and I and some of their friends went to Theiss and played Blind Man's Bluff for about 2 hrs. It was a blast. I was the only girl, but oh well. I'm use to it. lol. It was soo fun, there were some pretty nasty spills from everybody. Blind Man's Bluff is where the person that is it has to close their eyes, and everybody cant touch the ground. So you have to stay away from the person it. It's a really fun and interactive game.

Well, that was me keeping it short. Everyone who comments on my xanga is in my house right now anyways...and they were all there. So...whatever. HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

HAHA, ok. I just read The Scarlet Letter for english...and that is one quote from the book that i had NO CLUE on earth what the meaning was. So, i wanted to share many laughs that i shared with friends on that quote.

Let's see...School sucks. I'm so ready for a break. I get more tired every morning for seminary. Oh yea, we got out "report card" for attendance in seminary... And i had By far the most tardies in my class. Total ended up to be...37. That has to be some sort record. They start perfectly on time instead of 6:15 like everyone else. So I come the same time everyday at 6:15, which to my teachers is a tardy. So i have an 89% attendance, and i haven't missed one day at all. All i did was be a few minutes late.. LAME! I've been pretty mad abt that. Oh well, partly my fault, bc i dont wake up until 10 min b4 i have to leave. Like this morning, for instance, I woke up at 5:50, rolled out of bed, didn't change my shirt, or pants. I put on some shoes and socks, put a sweatshirt over my t-shirt. Then went to school. I was very comfy, and noe one cares anyways.

On a happier note, i'm going to Chicago tomorrow after school. I'M SOO EXCITED! I need to get out of Tetfas, MUCHO. I'm going to see Harry Potter 4 tonight. And i need to pack, and finish all my homework, ect. This is going to sound so stupid, and i've prob said this abt a "brazillion" times, but...I WANT MY BRACES OFF SOO BAD! They are at the point where my teeth are straight, so they really embarass me. I hate them so much. I cant wait to smile and have my teeth be straight and white. It is soo important for me...I only have a few months left. That is good news, but still, hard. Hopefully for my trip to New York City during Spring Break, i'll have them off. OK, i'll stop complaining now.

The other day at church i was sitting in Young Woman's waiting for class to start. That day was also Fast Sunday, and i was sick to top it off. I turn around and look at my mom, i didn't say anything i just looked at her, emotionless and she said
     "Karen, i know.  You're hungry and you want your braces off."

I laughed so hard, she knows me so well. That was the weekend Breanna and Maren came over. Accually Maren and i have hung out the past 9 weeks. So she doesn't count. lol. JK Mrn... I LOVE YOU! We had a lot of fun. Also, on a really exciting note, I found a handful of old Guam friends from Myspace. I could wet myself on how excited i was. I also wrote a boy from my branch on Guam that i knew. He is on a mission now, so i wanted to tell him i was thinking of him and such. I was so young when we lived there, i wanted him to think of me as a person, and not a little girl. I'm waiting for his letter back, that will make my day for sure.

Ok, mine is getting pretty long. It must be a Johnsen thing, except mine def. isn't as interesting as the other members of the fam. SEE YOU SOON, Clarky and Clay. Also, i cant wait for Chricksmix! Clay, that movie idea sounds really good, you know i'd be all over that!

Another Homecoming has come and gone. I have gotten and lot of pictures. Homecoming dress up week was pretty fun too. Every morning i woke up too cold to accually put on something that went along with the schedule of dress code though. Monday was Camo, then Western, then Nerd Day, then Decade Day, then Spirit. I dressed up like Sarah Jessica Parker from Girls Just Want to have Fun. I have pictures.. I need to learn how to put them on here. CLAY... HELP!

Homecoming was fun also, I have been on the verge of being sick for days now, so i was really tired and not very fun to be arouond. So i kinda feel bad for my date. Becky was sooo sick. I'm surprised she made it the whole day. She didn't have an appetite, and she just looked miserable. I'm proud of her, she is such a trooper. Jocelyn did an amazing job again, of course. The dilema this time was that my hair wasn't doing anything Jocelyn styled it to do. It was FREAKING OUT! I dont know what was wrong with my hair that day, it seriouly had its own mind. Jocelyn  stayed over for the weekend, because Jon was in Austin. So we got some bonding time. AKA- She hogged the bed.. but i stole the covers, so it's all good... lol.

On Halloween, I decided that i was going to have a party, bc everyone i talked to had no plans. So i was like.. Ok, i should have a party so all my friends can have something to do. It ended up to be a blast. My mom <<(lol) worked all day, getting decorations and making treats. Which were amazing.... Yumm. Also there was this HUGE storm on halloween. Poor kids, we barely got any trick or treaters. It added a nice touch to the night though. We played a whole bunch of games and just laughed and ate treats. Overall very fun. I have pictures from that also.

Maren and I were 80s work-out instructors. It looked funny. She looked better than me of course! lol. There was a good turn out too, which is always nice. Oh yea.. I watched Goonies for the first time. I LOVEDDD IT! I laughed soo hard at the part where Chunk is confessing to everything bad he's done, and also where he is trying to eat the ice cream, and they take it away, so he trys to put the spoon into his mouth quickly before they take that also, of couse they took it, and he starts crying. I laughed for so long.

Theresa rented this Tap DVD from the library, just for fun. She asked me if i wanted to do it with her, since i am prob the only person that would do it with her. It was SOOO funny.... It's called "Tapping With Ginger." Ginger, looks so funky, and she has such a heavy accent, so you can hardly understand her. The steps she was doing was really cool though. They were very old fashioned, but very flashy and fun. Theresa and I decided that i was going to make a tap movie, just like Tapping With Ginger. I'm thinking Clark and I should do it, it would be hilarious. I cant really explain to you what she looks like, or what her outfit was, but it was brilliant, and we laughed for such a long time.

Ok, i'm done typing.... This is way longer than i had intended. I accually came on here to study ACT, and look what has happened! DANG! "THE GOSH!"

I've had a really fun filled weekend.

Firday night Becky and I went to Peter Pan at the high school. We got frong row seats, which was ZING!! (-amazing) I love when you are close enough to see everyone's faces, and their expressions. After we the play, we went to AMC and saw Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. I liked it. It was very artistic, and entertaining. After we came home, ate dinner at around 11:30. Accually i think i just ate a granola bar. (Lately, i've been eating those a lot. I always have one in my purse) I love them. Saturday was Tomball's homecoming. That was a lot of fun. Jocelyn came over and she did my hair and make-up. She did good, i felt very pretty. Matt and i had a bunch of fun, we laughed and joked, and make fun of people who were bumbing and grinding. These one ppl were doing the same thing over and over... come on! At least do it good! I had a really weird dreams last night... abt freak dancing, i'm pretty good... lol. Enough said. WOW, that sounds really bad. Anyways, overall my weekend was great.

On sunday Becky, Desiree, and I sang in sacrament meeting. It was my first time to sing in public with a really small group, overall i thought we did really good. The spirit was really strong. There was one part where i had to come in by myself and i didn't feel nervous until then.  OH well! Ok.. well i have 2 realyl funny things that have been said to me the past week... and they were those kind of moments where you say... Dang, that is going in my xanga....

Maren and I were watching Made on MTV (dont judge me) abt this fat guy, who wanted to be "fly with the ladies." So he goes to fat camp and what not and ends up with this girl friend. They are like making out... totally disgusting to watch, but i said
 "MAREN! How come even he can find someone to kiss, why cant i find a love interest!"
maren: "Just go to fat camp...."

Lol, good times Mrn. Then today i was working on my english paper and i was looking in the thesauraus, and my dad walks up, sits down. After a while of sitting there looking at me he says...
         "I love watching you read the dictionary!"

It was SOOO random, and so hilarious. We both laughed for a long time. Well Spencer just came over to visit. That is always fun. I love it when he comes to visit us/me. He is such an awesome guy.

 I need to shower out all the hairspray from my hair. Night everyone.
