So lately I have been really down in the dumps.
Since my mom is in the military, she has to deploy and live and work in different countries for periods of time. My mom left last month and it has been really hard on me and my little sister. The last time my mom had to deploy was when I was in 8th grade, so yea i as beeen a long time and I am still not used to it. Even though I have my moms friends and my family and fiance to count on, the point is that she will not be around for 6months. Even though she will not miss any major holidays, she will miss me and my two sisters birthdays which really suck because birthdays are big in my family. I think my younger sister is taking it harder than me being that the last time my mom delopyed, she just turned 1 so it really was not a big deal for her. But her knowing that mommy wont return until October, really bums her out. Being that I am one of the oldest, I am trying to spend alot of time with her and do alot of activities just to get her mind off of mom. I really miss my mom but I know I have to be mature about the situation we are in and try to make the best out of it.

LA Gang Wars
Ok so two nights ago i was watching a donumentary on LA gang wars on National Geographic Channel. It was really interesting because I never knew why people exactly wanted to be apart of a gang...but now i see wwhy. the way the gang mambers explained it was because they didnt really have a family. the "OG" which stands for Original Gangster is like a father-figure they never had. I have also learned that gang activity is increasing drasitcally in the Western and Eastern part of the United states. The uprising of gang violence is at a severe high. People are dieing as we speak just because they are rivals. its soo weird taht one can b shot for stepping on "turf" that didnt belong to them...its quite sad.

Spring Break!
Oh wow! My spring break was the absolute best! Even though I did not go anywhere exotic, I still made the best of my spring break as much as I could. Basically my spring break consisted of chillen with all of my close friends, and partying hard! One of the highlights of my spring break is finding out that my best friend is pregnant! OMG I am going to be a aunt!!! To put the cherry on top, Im going to be the God mother! I never thought in a million years I would be a God Mother it is such an honor!
College:Soup
I never knew college could be this hard. Its like high school on steroids!
Some days i feel im not cut out for college...like its not for me. But then I would sit down and just think to myself and imagine what exactly I would be doing if i were not in college. I honestly would not be doing nothing, working full time of course...but other than that just chilling on my couch watching t.v. Right now, my state of mind is telling me that I and suited for collefe, and that if i did not attend college, i would not of gotten too have the opportunity of meeting new people. College is like a huge pot of vege soup... it is made up of different knids of foods and spices...when you put them all together in to a big pot...the end result is incredible/

Guppy and Bob- Happy Words Assigment
There once was a puppy whos name was Guppy who lived underneath a bridge by the lake.
He loved to play, he could play all day; his favorite treat is cake.
His best friend is a frog who name is Bob, I kno how strange that can be.
But they are wonderful friends, who will be friends until the end; their favorite activity to do is climb trees.
The will play leap frog all day long until the stary night appears.
They will sleep side-by-side and do not hide until the day creeps near.
In the morning when the birds are chirping, and the warm sun lights up the sky.
Guppy and Bob will take a moring jog and have a slice of bluberry pie.
They laugh and sing all day long to theie heart-felt summer songs.
Then when the day turns into night and worn out at the sight, they are soon sleeping all night long.

my very scary night at walmart
Last night was one of the scariest nights of my life. Attention everyone!!! Shannon Fant was being followed in Walmart!
Ok so heres the story. When I arrived at Walmart and proceeded to the entrance, I spotted this mad who was very suspicious looking. Heres what he looks like just in case any of you spot him at Walmart again: He was a cacusian male, mid to late 30s, around 5'7; 5'8, a little bit of facial hair on his chin, blonde, low hair cut, when I saw him he was wearing a leather jacket, black cap, dark jeans, black shoes, and he has white ear phones in his ears, lastly he has a tattoo with some kind of symbol on his neck and a peirced lower lip. So heres his description, if you happen to see the perso i happen to describe, do not make eye contact because i believe that was what had gotten in this situation in the first place. Ok so anyways I saw him leaving so i did not think nothing of it, so once i was in, i headed to the hair care section. Once I got there all of a sudden, I see him out of the corner of my eye, he was looking at shampoos...IE: womens shampoos so i had a gut feeling something wasnt right. Ok so after i figured out what I needed, I miskakenly turned his way ans as i was facing him, I saw him slipp some womens shampoo dwm his pants! Yes everyone! if you did not read it correctly...he stuck shampoo dwn his pants! ok so that was enough for me i had to get outta there asap! so he and I both knew what I jsut saw so he started following me. He was trying to make up some excuse like "i had to adjust my belt" or sum bs along those lines. I was like "ok dude." ok then after that he was following me up and down the aisles! I was offically freakd out so I told one of the store assocaites what was going on. She followed him and then he left the store. Ok so then i was really relieved because he was scaring me, then when I was going to the other part of the store, he comes in again!!! This time he was heading towards me! Being completely wiggd out, I ducked behinnd some clothes and waited until he went the opposite direction. When I finally made it to the check out lane, I told the cashier what happened and she called her manager. I had to be escorted to my freaking car! Can you believe that?!?!? Even when I left he was still behind me! until he was stoppd at the entrance. After last nigh, I will NEVER go to Walmart by myself.

Blog Report #1
It is extremely hard for me t oblog in the rough times I am currently in. My apartment was broken in to and my other computer (I do most of my schoolwork on) was stolen along with other valuables. I am not making any excuses but it is hard to focus on my schoolwork when I have alot on my plate. I moved out of course, but my fiance and I are having a hard time finding another affordable place to live. In other words blogging was not a priority at that particular time, but I do plan on being more focus.
I love to write about my feelings, interesting events i have experienced, and just random thoughts. I enjoy reading others blogs and commenting on how I feel about what they have just written, In the beginning og blogging, I really enjoyed reading my classmates introduction of themselves. I can really get a better understanding of who that person is and if we have somethings in common. I have read some interesting blogs so far this semester; even though I have only commented on a couple, I do plan on being more intereactive with my fellow classmates and engage more with the blogging experience

WCW #1
One particular quote that caught my eye was "Rumor can run all the way around the world while Truth is still putting on his pants-Mark Twain'"
This Quote spoke to me because it reminds me of high school. During my four years at Mascoutah High School, rumors travel fast everywhere I go. People are so quick to spread ridiculous rumors that the truth of the matter does not even come to mind until it is too late. I love the way Mark Twain worded this quote because rumors come and go all of the time while the truth is not spoken of.

Chai Tea Latte
just discover this amazing singer by the name of Angel Taylor. After my apartment was broken into i was feeling really stressed and just stuck in a rut. I was actually watching Tough Love 2 on VH1 and she was singing in like a coffee house. The song she was singing was entitled "Like you do" and it reminded me of my fiance and how nobody loves me like he does and no matter if I am mad or sad...he still loves me the same. Well once hearing this song made me want to search for more songs by her. My favorite song of hers is "Chia Tea Latte" and it is saying that you are the perfect guy for me, and i am for you. Just ask me out already. I think of you all the time, and you do not need to be with no one else but me. This song has soo many emotions behind it. It is bubbly and quirky, yet sweet all at the same time. Angel Taylor's voice is so different and the way she pronounces her words just makes the song soo distinct and one of a kind. After listening to various songs by her, I suddenly felt much better, even though I was still upset about the situation I am in, I look at it from a different side now
It's me...Shannon
Hi everyone! My name is Shannon Danae Fant. My nickname is Wiggy lol. My mom gave me that name when i was a baby because I could never stay still! I used to be embarrassed when I was younger but now it has grown on me and it makes me unique! I am very family oriented. My mom, two sisters and I are very close, they are like my best friends. We do everything together. I am very blessed to have such a close net family. My mom raised my two sisters and I by herself so I have learned to appreciate her 10 times more. I am what people my label as a "Military Bratt" I have been to many states but only one country (suprisingly). I moved to IL in 2006 where I attended and graduated from Mascoutah High School (c/o 09').
Some things about myself is that I am 18 years of age and I am engaged to my high school sweetheart, his name is James King. We are currently living together and are planning the wedding for next year in the spring. Many peple may think that 18 or 19 is not an appropriate to get hitched, and that is their opinion. I love my Jamesy Pooh with all my heart; he is not only my fiance but my best friend. We are soul mates. My hobbies are singing, reading, shopping, I love to draw even though i am not that good. My favorite author is Nicholas Sparks. He is the best writer in the world. I love his books because they are about true love, not you average-joe typical generic love, but deep, emotional, heart-felt love. he is just amazing and i love reading his books over and over again. I am your typical girl with alot to strive for. I love to have a good time and I love to make people laugh, I may come off as the quiet girl, but once you get to know me, i cant shut up! I have different types of friends, that is probably why I am the way I am. I and Black, White, Cherokee, and French. I may not look it but if you see my mom they u will get it. But like i was saying, I dont care if you are blue, purple, white, black i love everyone!! my best friend in the whole entire world is white. Yeah we are judged all the time but I love her! She is the cream to my oreo!! lol. I just love meeting new people with different personalities. I am a individualist, I try not to run with the crowd.
My major is Elementry Education so i hope to become a kindergarten or first grade teacher in the near future. I hope to attend SIUE after i receive my associates in the arts here. Ever since I could remember, becoming a teacher was my dream. I do not want to do it for the money because I know teachers do not make that much. I want to become a Elementary teacher because i just love kids, and for some odd reason; they love me back! lol I have realized that kids look up to you more than anyone else, in their eyes; we are like super heroes which makes it that much cooler. Not only do i want to become a teacher, I would also like to double major in cosmetology. I LOVE doing hair. At time my hair may not look all that great, but i can turn a ugly duckling into a swan lol! I like to do hair because even the ugliest hair cut can look amazing with a dash of teasing and a swipe of wax! i just love it!!
