Don't Come 2 Me!

OKAY. Can I first start off by saying to a couple of blog readers and FB friends.. I can help ya'll with ANY problems through chat.. except relationship/asking out/love problems!! I swear, I am not an expert on this topic. Yet ya'll come to me ALL. THE. TIME. about these love advice things. I can try my best to help ya'll out but I have enough troubles trying to talk to girls at the moment. All of my relationships I've done, I've asked out the Facebook. I've dated through Facebook. I've only talked to all of them through Facebook. I'm not a love expert! Guys think I'm pretty awesome. No really, I've had about 2 guys come up to me and just say "You're pretty awesome" hahaha. Tho it might seem to differ for the girls? I'm pretty sure my current crush doesn't even like me back at the moment. (Or at least anymore, at this rate) You want some advice, guys? Don't rush asking a girl out until you get to know her a little more. If you, for example, buy her a special necklace from Florida and haven't even talked to her except for about 2 days.. in 2 weeks, only at church, lets say? Then thats being too fast right there. Then after that, you ask her out. Then say you didn't send that message and you blame it on a friend who you claim to "hack" your Facebook. Then you say your sister wants to know the answer. This is exactly.. EXACTLY what I did in one week..

She'll probably think you're a creep. She'll say "No". Or, she'll say "Maby, I have to get to know you a little more". Then the only thing that leads you to is awkward eye contacts and walking up and saying "Hey" with nothing else that can come out of your mouth. I'm really going to be honest and say this is all from my experience I've had in this past two weeks. I think I rushed things too fast.


My point, whether you're at a public school, church or whatever.. WAIT before you GO.

Adrenaline Rush

Well! I decided to start a band this week. We'll be starting off playing contemporary christian music like.. Brandon Heath, Jars of Clay or whatever. We're doing those kinds of music first because it's the easiest and we'll need to start practicing the easy stuff first before we get more advanced into like oldies, country or whatever. The name of the band is Adrenaline Rush. Our original name was The Fiber Dwogs, but the whole band didn't agree with it. Then, we tryed "The Electric Croxx" which the "Croxx" was supposed to be a cool way of spelling "Cross" but everyone thought we meant the shoes.. so our final one is called Adrenaline Rush.

Let's introduce the band players.. I'm the manager of the band and I'll be playing the keys. My sister, Gloria, is a singer.

-Me (Keys) and Gloria (Singer)

Our drummer, is Gabe Barnette. He's also my assistant manager for the band.

-Gabe Barnette, Drummer



We have two guitarists. One is Cheryl Blaxton, which is my sister's best friend. The other is Christopher Murphy, who is my cousin. Cheryl's also our singer. I'm actually not sure if Christopher is officially in the band yet, but he said if we ever did a band he wanted to be in it.

-Cheryl and Christopher, Guitarists

We're not completely sure if we've found a bass yet, but I have a friend that might be bass in our band. His name is Blane. He goes to my church, and he's a nice/fun guy!

-Blane, Bass

We have one more singer, Mary Kate Conley. She lives behind us, so she's our neighbor. She's fun to hang out with.

--Mary Kate Conley, Singer

Well, at least we have enough people to get started with! We might even have more later on.. I still have two spots open.. The Tech Guy, and a Percussionist. We need a percussionist who's pretty humourus, that can play a cow bell funny during a song! (people from The Cleft only get that insider)

Top 10 Week: Food

Well, this is my 30th post. I've decided every 10 posts I do for my blog, I'll do some sort of top 10 of my favorite things. I'll start off with food. Food is amazing! And whoever hates food is my enemy -.- Be warned tho, I dont like healthy food >.>

 #10 on my list would be Taco Bell's soft tacos. They're amazing! And I don't care what you say, they're delicious!! Taco Bell's food is not the yucky regular mexican (Dont get me wrong, I love mexican (; ) It's AMERICAN mexican! :D

 MMmmmm.. Cookies and Cream Ice Cream. You probably wouldn't expect this on a top 10 food list. But out of my favorite ice cream, this would have to be #1.

 Mexican nachos... are AMAZING! Yes, I know I'm addicted to the worst junk food on the planet. But c'mon, who doesn't like nachos?

 Subway's meatball sub.. I haven't seen many people get this. But I don't like anything else at Subway except this.

 Sbarro's double crust stuffed pizzas are just.... food for the soul! I could eat a whole one... that is if I new I wouldn't get fat.

 Sesame Chicken, I'll usually get with some lo mein.. it's amaaazing

 MUAHAHAHHA!! Chili cheese stuff!!! XD I love em all! Even when Taco Bell did their chili cheese quesidillas!

 I couldn't squeeze all my favorite pastas.. Macoroni, Lo Mein, Spaghetti, Alfredo... sooo this'll just have to do.

 Now let me say this first.. I don't like ANY other kind of chicken quesidillas EXCEPT the ones from Taco Bell! It's that delicious sauce they put in that makes it amazing.

#1 would, by all means, HAVE to be cheesecake. MY all time favorite food, dessert, snack... it's just.. food from heaven.

Mall Buddies

Well, yesterday Colin, Jacob, Gloria and I went to the Westgate Mall in Spartanburg. It was pretty fun. We got lots of pictures in random stores with hats and stuff. Although we did pass several adults that said "These kids should be in school!" When we would shout back "We're homeschooled!" or "You should be at work!" Some people just need to keep their mouths shut. Mainly talking to those adults. They see a group of teens and judge us before they get to know us. We're not like most groups of teens. We're polite, smart and... well.... homeschooled?

I'd post some pictures but that'll have to be later because Gloria hasn't posted them on Facebook yet. Anyways, after that we dropped Gloria off at the house and stayed the night at Colin & Jacob's. We watched Family Guy and played Mario Sports (worst mario game ever). It wasn't until I had to leave that I remembered that I had brought the Gamecube Super Mario Bros with me... oh well. In the morning Colin and I rode down over grown trails on the golf cart. Then tonight me, Gloria and Mom ate supper at a neighbor's house. Considering we have no neighborhood friends, there's a K, two 4th graders and a 14 year old girl. (yeeeaaa 8) jkjk I'm taken...tho I am having 2nd thoughts) They're really nice. I don't really have much to blog about sooo... --This is Milner!

'07 Louisiana Letters

Okay, for these couple of days I want to share with you some letters I got back in 2007 (When I was 9). We were working at one of the schools, I think it was Leo Seaton? I'm not sure. But I found my shoe box and was reading through my old letters when at the bottom I found all the letters that class sent me. I never replyed to any of them, so I believe I'll reply to them through my blog (even tho ya'll will probably never read this)


"Dear Milner,
               Hi, My name is Clifton Escort. You sound like a good kid. It is very interesting that you are homeschooled. I am 9 years old. I like to draw. Do you? When is your birthday? My birthday is Feb. 13. I like to play my Nintendo... Well please send me a letter back.

                     Your penpal, Clifton Escort.

Well Clifton, sorry I never sent you a reply. But I would have been nine as well (I think). So that would make you 13 now? Well that'd be interesting to see what you look like now, considering I'm 13 too. I appreciate that you think I'm a.. "good" kid:3 I used to draw alot, but I sort of gave that up after a while. My birthday is Feb. 23rd. So you would be a few days older than me. Hope you see this soon! --Milner

Dear Milner,
Hi! My name is Colby Glatter. I am eight years old and in the third grade. I think I draw pretty good. But I don't know what other people think of my drawings. I would like to be pen pals with you because I dont have any and I really want one. I hope you will be my pen pal. I have my own website. If you want to go to it go to colby.xbuild.com
                                                           Your pen pal,
                                                            Colby Glatter

Colby, sadly your website must not exist anymore. Which is a shame. The picture you drew looked like you draw manga, and it was pretty good. I wish we could've been pen pals but I was 9 and stupid and never replyed to any of the people in your class so don't feel bad.

Dear Milner,
My name is Kaitlyn. I'm 8 years old. Ihave a 11 year old broth(er?) named Cody. I am a very nice person if you've got to know me. Some people think I'm weird but I'm not! I am very interesting and fun. I love sports and animals! I sit by one boy named Joe. He's really weird and stupid. What about you? Do you like animals and sports? Do you have a brother or sit by a boy? Are your friends weird? Do you like plays? How many teeth have you lost? What school are you in? Please answer questions and write back!

Once again, Kaitlyn, I'm sorry for never writing back. You (sort of?) sound like a nice person. Thank you for that good description of some dude named Joe. I have a fat, lazy, pathetic chinese pug and 7 stray cats. So yea, I guess I like animals. I live in a gym and play basketball about 1 to 2 hours a day. I have an older sister and I'm afraid I don't sit by a boy. (???) All of my baby teeth :D I am homeschooled.

Dear Milner,
Hi! My name is Kenneth. I really hope we can be best friends and I will tell you what I llike to do for fun. I like to play basketball and maby I can teach you a couple of moves one day and I practice so I can do the slam dunk. I like to collect little car hot wheels and make them crash.

Kenneth, I'm sorry we couldn't become best friends. 1 point for basketball fan man!! Yeaa!! And I could've used some lessons on that too.But if I did a slamdunk, my basketball goal would tip over so that wouldn't be the best trick for me to learn. I collected those tiny hot wheel cars too when I was 9 and 10. In fact, I could go to our storage building and find a box of about 95 little hot wheel cars right now that I used to play with (: (and a collection of dinosaurs... :D )

Dear, Milner
                   Hi! My name is Cayce Keton and I have a couple of questions to ask. First, do you like being homeschooled? Second, do you have any friends? And finally, do you know alot? We have Mardi Gras and many other celebrations. I have blonde hair brown eyes. I go to a school. I am 8. I have a good learning. I have a really nice teacher.

Cayce, I enjoy being homeschooled. Homeschooled friends are usually a bit more pleasant to be around than most public school friends. (I'm referring to the stupid ignorant public school kids who live in Spartanburg County btw) I know enough. Nice to know I'm talking to a blonde... picture please?? 8) (jk)

Dear Milner,
             Hi! My name is Karina. I want to ask you a lot of things. When is your birthday? My birthday is August 17th. Do you like it over there? Do you like writing? What is your favorite sports? I want to know where you live in what city. What is your favorite pet? Is it puppies, rabbits, cats, snakes? What do you want to be when you grow up?
                     Your pen pal,
                   Karina

Karina, my birthday is Feb. 23rd. Yea, you come to love South Carolina after a while, those interesting southern accents... I don't like WRITING, but I'll type on the computer. Or blog, of course. My favorite sports would be basketball and bowling. I live in Inman, South Carolina. I'm going to have to say that no pet can get better than an old fat lazy chinese pug named Boogie. I believe I'm going to stay in the acting business.

Dear Milner,
                    Hi, my name is Wesley Giroir. Do you like home school? Do you celebrate holidays? You should celebrate, it's alot of fun. They give you roses, stickers and lots of stuff. Do you celebrate Christmas? You get money, candy, toys and a lot of other stuff. Can you please write me back?
                                          Your pen pal,
                                Wesley

Wesley, yes, I enjoy being homeschooled. Yes we celebrate holidays and Christmas. What made you think that Louisiana is the only state that celebrates holidays? Sorry I never wrote back.
