You know, some days I wish I cared. It's been such a crappy day. I woke up with 5 hours of sleep (that's not a lot, for me) and went to school. Yey. I had to carry my bass clarinet across from the tennis court lot to the gym then down the A wing to the band room. And I have a bad neck thing already. Oh yey. So, then we're in band, which wasn't too bad, then in spanish where we learned new crap while I just stared trying to comprende en espan~ol. Then Alg II was okay, US History was boring, Chem I asked someone to Catillion, got turned down for someone else, I dunno what we did in Driver's Ed, study hall was weird, and then lunch. Ooodles of fun. I was really tired and I accidentally sprayed diet lemon nestea over myself and everyone at my table. Mucho embarrasing. Talked to Dave which made me more depressed. Hmm..oh I had to hear Mr. Vogel talk. (That's my english teacher, not Carl's dad.) He is such a muffin. (my curseword of..now) Oh, then I went shopping with the madre and she was like, sooooo did you ask anyone to Catillion and I told her that I'm not telling her because whatever I tell her gets spread to everyone else in the world. So she got really pissy and picked out horrible dresses for me to try on. Although I did find this nice dress. I guess I look okay in it. It's all black with a flower (pinkish-white) on the hip. It's cute and it's too showy. Then I worked out at MSC for about an hour which made me feel a bit better and saw Zoog, Taylor, and Alex. Fun.

Nice run-on paragraph, eh? Speaking of which, I really need to borrow Taylor's books. It's called "Eats Shoots and Leaves" and it's about punctuation. I'm thinking of going into editing if the whole science thing doesn't work out. Well, we'll see about it.

Oh, I'm gonna complain some more about the American lifestyle. It seems that we feel the need to please EVERYBODY. And don't get me wrong, I'm there too. But it's out of control. Oh no, yaddah yaddah yaddah will get offended if I say something. Well, screw them. Unless it's not meant to be used in a helpful way, of course. For example, not that I'm in any way against minorities or anything, but look at what it's come too. We're so afraid of acting prejudiced that we'll pick minorities who might not be as good as others (not that this is always that case, and I don't think minorities would be bad) SEE! I did it, too.

Also, this has a direct relationship with people suing others for the most ridiculous reasons. People don't take responsibility for their own actions anymore. AND IT'S PISSING ME OFF.

Okay I'm done.

Hmm..it's been quite a while, but I don't really care.

I've been swimming at Medford Sports Club (what a stupid name..) with Alison as my coach. Ugh I'm so tired from there!! She works us hard, but I need that. And Taylor and Zoog are there too, so it makes it better. I mean, if it was just me and all those little kids I would shoot myself.

Speaking of which, there's this 11 year old who is so intense. I mean, it's ridiculous. And every time I'm swimming in the other lane, if we're doing backstroke or something, she always manages to grab my ass. IT'S MINE, OKAY?! BACK OFF! It's driving me crazy. Well, I'm sure it's an accident cuz it only happened like twice but her little friend who's like 14 or 15 did it once, too. So I'm sure it's a conspiracy against me. Grr..

Swim meet with Shawnee was fun. I did okay..but they put me in 200 IM which is my worst event ever. Okay, maybe 200 breast is my worst. Whatever. So I did that, 50 fly in the medley relay, 100 fly individual, and 100 free in the 4 x 100 free relay. The thing I was most pleased with was my fly. My goal was to hit 1:10 cuz I knew I couldn't do under that, and I did 1:09.87! I'm so happy..I can't wait to tell Alison. But it needs to be lower. This season my goal is unrealistically 1:06, but I think I can definitly get 1:07. So, we'll see how it goes.

Ah our final football game was last night. It's finally over! Although during the game I swear I was so close to crying. Eh..the reason's kinda confidential, but it was a bad night except for the ending.

Well, I'm off to see "It's a Wonderful Life" at Cherokee. Adios.

Marching band competition last night. We got 6th out of like 12 or 14, and it was at Giants Stadium. mUch fun, but I'm mad tired. we got back at like 2 AM. So I went to school around 9 (excused abscence) and I'm exhausted cuz I still had to wake up at like 7 40 to finish my algebra hw. I really don't feel like going to swim, but I really need to get back in shape and burn off all this freakin fat. I was really looking forward to this swim season, but I'm afraid to see all my Wahoos friends now cuz I'm so bad at swimming. I'm thinking of working out more often, but 1. I'm too lazy and 2. I don't really have the time. So yeah. I'm so tired and I didn't get much sleep on the band bus. Don't wanna swim no more.....

 

yes I just used the worst grammer of my life and wrote the longest and incorrect paragraph ever.

It's been quite some time since I've updated. And my comp is seriously pissing me off. It keeps doubling my letters.

Example:

Ii lovme marchinig band. marchining bandn rocks my socks!

See? It's quite annoying. Especially those 'ing' words. And we have a football game tomorrow (it'll prolly rain), paint day tomorrow, and a competition on Saturday. Oh fun.

Hmm..what else to say? Nothing really. Oh, I got videotaped swimming underwater. That was kinda cool. Adios folk. This was a stupid and pointless posting. oH yeaH.

Fly away from the handlebars.

Take a step back and look at life.

Don't you just wish that life was a book that you could look ahead and see if you made it? If the Prince really got the Princess and they had many babies who lead the perfect life? Or if you became a high school drop out and failed in life making $7.50 an hour at the local diner?

 

..and all I could think was that it was the nicest feeling in the world.

that deserved to be the about 3 weeks ago but I never got around to it
