Sometimes, it takes the innocence and understanding of a 14 and 17 year old kid to make you realize things that you once have forgotten. Like how important it is to be close to God. Like how that burning flame inside of you to ignite the youth needs to be fueled and lit to a point where it is uncontrollable wild fire. It is so strange to me how God works. I know a lot of my friends don't believe in God or anything, but to me, in my heart, I know He is real. Marcel and Tommy have been such a huge blessing in my life and I truly believe that God has led our friendship together along with my little sister. It's funny to me because rather than me teach them, they have taught me.
Those two boys are so crazy, hyper and loud and sometimes obnoxious but last night, I really noticed something. I've caught this a few times but last night I really noticed it. On our way to drop them off Tommy changed my iPhone and plugged his and he put on a band called Ascend the Hill, a worship band. I was surprised because it is not exactly what you would expect them to willfully listen to in the car. As I was driving, I could see from the corner of my eye and hear them signing these old, old, old hymns and although they were just whispering it, singing it softly, I truly felt the extent of their soft worship. It really humbled me and made me reflect on how passionate I was when I was their age and how God can use this generation to humble an older generation. I remember being in their place, being a teenager, being in youth, playing on the worship team, having "Uh-oh here comes Jesus moments", doing all that I could to let the world know that their is a God.
I know I am only 4-8 years older then them, but even still, they are of a generation that is after me, and as the Word says, "generations to come after will do more things than the ones before...". God is too funny, last night I didn't even want to stay out late, much less with my sis and the kids. But for some reason I did and although I went to sleep late and came in to work late, I think God wanted me to see that. Remind me of the worshiper that I once was, with the heart and love of a child to their father.
Truthfully humbled,
Ellie

I am a 16 year old trapped in a 21 year old's body
OMG! I HAD SO MUCH FUN THIS WEEKED!!
- Friday's house show at Nolan's was chill. Grim played their first "trial" show haha. Good times. Got some funny video of that stuff, I'll post it later.
- Saturday, Went to the Music and Arts Fest for a lil while. Watched the lil broseph's(Marcel) and son's(Tommy) band, On The Brink Of Defeat. I love watching those kids play and just do what they do. I can't wait to see what God has in store for them. Saw EMERY!!! <3 They played all the songs I wanted to hear, well that's 'cus every song of theirs is AWESOME! FAVORITE BAND IN THE WORLD! I hadn't actually rocked out that hard in a while haha.
- After Emery played we all left and went to Chilies where Tommy got told by the lady sitting infornt of us hahah... "HEY CALM DOWN!!" LOL!! Then we went to Riverwalk and played hide and go seek ballon fight in the dark. OMG that was the funnest thing ever! Girls against boys. haha You should have seen Alisha and I HAHAH. We were sweating like no other hahaha. We won of course. Thanks to me haha :p
- Afterwards, we got the brilliant idea of TP Trav and Nick's trucks, since they were hanging out. Since none of us knew where Nick lives, we had to be detectives and figure it out by the clues. HAHA. We all ahd bits and pieces of info and so we creeped around the neighborhood and surrounding area trying to find their trucks LOL!!! When we were about to leave when we finally found them!!! And of course Trav and Nick were standing outside, with the garage door opened and the lights on..... HAHAHAHAHAHA we got CAUGHT LOL!!! Aisha, Ness and I could not stop laughing. We drove by again 2 times and threw toilet paper at them HAHA. I hope Nick doesn't get creeped out haha, it was just too funny. He prbly thinks I am loser, o well, we all still had a good laugh.
Seriously though, Leesh and I felt liek we were teenagers again haha. So tired now. Time for sleep.

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY NOT GONNA PAY ON TIME?!
WHAT THE CRAP!!!!!!
Okay so for the last 4 pay dates at work, we have been paid 1-2 days late. This is beyond crap. I work for an attorney, you would think that an attorney would be the most professional of all bosses, but no, not my boss. I was already late on my Macbook payment and now I am late on my car insurance, all because my boss can't pay us on time. Two days ago when I noticed we didn't get our stub (I have auto-deposit so I get a stub the day before it's paid into my account) I went into his office and asked him what was going on all he said was "ohh sometimes I forget or there isn't enough money"... That is Horse CRAP. How is there no $$??? People pay him $1,000-$3,500 a case... we are one of the busiest bankruptcy firms and you're gonna tell me there isn't enough money?? HAHAHAHAHA. What a LAZY, IRRESPONSIBLE person. Oh and yesterday I get a call from the main office from one of the girls saying that we are now going to get paid on the 5th and 20th of each month instead of the 1st and 16th. I have to rearrange my payments now so that I can pay them on time. This is ridiculous. That means this pay check, that I was supposed to get on the 16th, has to be stretched almost 20 days!!!!!!!!! Are you serious? I am so ready to just leave home and not do anything, I ain't getting paid so forget it. I ain't even gonna trip about work today. If he isn't going to compensate us like he is supposed to, Im not gonna worry about working like I am supposed to. I have been working here for a lil over 3 years, and this stuff is happening? Really? SCREW YOU!! PAY ME ON TIME!! OR DON'T FREAKING HIRE PEOPLE IF YOU CAN'T PAY THEM!! Any one looking for office work or paralegal stuff? I am seriously job hunting as of yesterday.
On another note, I hope this weekend goes well. Free house show tonight and then EMERY tomorrow! (My favorite band in the universe), and playing all 4 services on Sunday at NLC. Also, hanging with my kids Saturday and Sunday, maybe even tonight. It should be fun and busy. I need something to take my mind off of this crap even though I am broke and can't buy stuff or even food. I really don't want to use my credit card.

I told you to be patient, I told you to be fine
This weekend started out good and fun and ended kind of sad. Nothing really happened to me but my lil sis went through something that I know all girls hate. Hearing that the boy you love doesn't know what they want, and never getting a clear answer. I don't think I have ever seen her so sad. I had to be strong last night and not show any feeling because I have to be un-bias in this situation because he is also my lil friend. I don't think he really meant to hurt her, he is a good lil guy. I say lil because... well I am 21 and they're 14-15 years old. This whole situation also made me realize that there really is no age for true heart break. To be honest, it reminded me of my situation from back in the day... If you have read my blog, you can actually see what I am talking about. Anyways, I hope they can stay good friends. It would be real sad if they don't.
On to something not so sad. Hung out with my kids, Ness, Tommy, Marcel and Jessica, this weekend. They keep me on my toes lol. Always so loud and crazy haha. Saturday night we went to Denny's with Leesh and at the end of the night Alisha and I were like... omg.... we are getting old because more that half the stuff they were doing was RETARDED. I know it may sound weird but the way I see it is that I always wanted an older sister or brother that I could hang out with and drive my friends and I around so I try to be that for my lil sis. I rather be hanging out with her and her friends than not know anything or anyone in her life. It's a good way that I keep an eye out on her ya know. Plus, those kids are like my friends too, only they look up to me and stuff, it is actually real nice.
I saw Super 8 today. OMG I hate Alisha!!! I had never seen the previews or anything so I agreed to go. If there is anything that I fear most in the world it's: Dinosaurs, Aliens and roaches. HAHA I know how can I be scared of dinosaurs and aliens? LOL I really don't know but I always have, since I was a child. The movie was pretty good but it did scare me a few times... jumped up alot, spilt the popcorn, screamed, etc.
Well I think that is about all I can think about at the moment. Gonna catch up on Trueblood.

The Past Few Days
Okay so I have been a horrible blogger and have neglected writing haha. Tumblr takes up most of your life... just kidding. So time to catch up. Since it has been like a week or so I will just highlight the events I remember.
- Didn't go to LA to visit Flower :( She got real sick, had to be rushed to the emergency room so yea. She is doing better but still not well enough to hang out and go out and about. Instead I went to magic Mountain with my family. My uncle flew in from Mexico so I just spent time with family. I had a lot of fun. I can't believe my mom actually went on almost every ride we went on haha, even Dejavu!
- Rocking Roots 2011 was actually a lot of FUN. I met some real nice, awesome people and got to hang out with the guys. I feel like I am finally beginning to be good friends with them. Bruce is hilarious, nice dude. Finally met Corey 559 in person haha, real chill dude too. I spent most of RR with Jessica. I missed her! So glad we could hang. It real hard making girl friends and she is definitely a good friend. The best parts of RR was Sean getting knocked out haha. It was funny but sad at the same time. I seriously got real worried when I saw all the guys carry him. I ran up to Sean on the floor and asked him if he needed anything and all he said was "Bring me a girl with big boobs" HAHA. Glad he is okay. The second thing was Chris getting all crazy with the chair haha. If you were there, you know what I am talking about, I don't think that is ever going to leave Chris LOL. Oh there was also crazy hippie knife girl haha. Real psycho girl was trying to fight every guy in the crowd. She ran after Dylon from Taft at one point and Javi started chanting "Meth, meth, meth" and pretty soon the whole crowd was chanting that.
- Hanging out with my kids was fun. Tommy, Marcel, Frank, Elijah, my sis and Jess. haha Those boys are too much!!! Saturday night after rocking roots and Denny's we went to my house and Tommy thought it would be funny to jump into the pool... at 2 in the morning!!! followed by the rest of the crazy bunch haha. Sunday picked up the boys again minus Elijaha nd Frank. Tommy and Marcel were being ratarded lol. What else... oh yea! Lobsterbush! hahaha and Watttahhh! All in all, I love those kids. Is it weird that at times I really don't mind hanging out/chaparoning 15-17 year olds?
- I am moving offices again at work. It will be better becuase it's across the street from the main offices so hopefully that will solve the whole lack of communication problem we were having before.
That's pretty much all I can think of for now. Over all, I am just looking forward to all these new friendships.
