Round 2

The first time RCHS girls have made it to Round 2 in playoffs in five years! I was extremely disappointed and relieved about the team we played. They sucked and looked like 10 year old's. Number 15 on their team got a technical, which I called in the first two minutes of the game. I am learning a lot of German and I really enjoy it. To me its amazing how much I love to learn. Anything and everything I want to learn. I want to travel so much I can taste it! So crazy the phases of life we go through.

Pulled Over

I got pulled over on my way home from banquet and it was pretty much awesome! Ironically I really enjoyed being pulled over. Sounds terrible but seriously I love to experience things like that. Things that you hear everybody talk about, yeah it was my turn finally. I hope I never forget my first time getting pulled over. Short story, pulled over because of the left headlight, but he didn't give me a ticket and he said I pulled over quickly and smoothly. Yep I am pretty proud of myself. I may not be an amazing driver but I definitely got through my time getting pulled over without getting a ticket because of my driving! Yes!
Shia LaBoeff. Setting the stage for the next generation of Indiana Jones. In the lastest Indiana Jones at the very end, there was a one-liner that just struck me hard. Oxley at the very end says: "How much the human life is lost in waiting." And those words have stuck with me. I don't want to wait. Not that I am very good at it anyway. But I really feel like I spend so much time waiting and being patient. I wait for the class time to be over, I wait for the week to end, I wait for the quarter to end, I wait for the school year is over, I wait for basketball to get over so I can get a job, I wait for basketball to be over so I can snowboard, I wait for basketball to be over so I can start trainging. I wait for summer to be here, I wait to turn eighteen, I wait till I find the right guy, I wait to become an adult. I wait to make my dreams come true, I wait, we wait, and then time is gone and we wait to die knowing that we were waiting for something to happen to us that we needed to make happen for ourselves. So from now on, no more waiting to turn eighteen to start my life, no waiting for school to be done, no more waiting for God to send the man my way, no more waiting...no more waiting.

Banquet

Half an hour late and counting!

Ironic?

So the Marvel Universe: something I had no idea existed. The Hulk, Ironman, me in my ignorance thought they were just super-heroes! Silly me! A conglomerate of characters in the world created by Marvel. The Avengers?! No idea! I am finding more and more in my life that I don't know which I think is probably a really healthy thing for a teenager, because I don't know how many parents I have heard say, "Well you think you know just everything don't ya!" Luckily, I love to learn and learn I am! I also had my first tutorial about cars. Another healthy thing for a FEMALE teenager to learn about, because most us couldn't change a tire! (lol) Anyway, this weekend i am grounded for staying up past twelve which only on some days bothers my mother. So I am grounded and didn't want to be confined to my house so I asked my mom to go to the outlets to check for banquet dress, which was a mission doomed to fail anyway because I am so freaking picky. Took a shower went to the outlets saw a couple friends and proceeded to look in like 6 stores for anything of interest more specifically for dresses. Saw two in Deb which I tried on of course they were hideous on so I went into the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to ask about a job, then I went into rue 21 and Styles saw a bunch of cute things nothing I needed and nothing I was willing to spend money on, not that I had any money to spend anyway, but of all the things i saw today, all the cute jackets, shirts, purse, jewelry, and boys the one thing that made me stop and yearn was... wait for it...of course... a pair of hiking boots! Ironic?

I Am Back

I find that when I am happy with almost no complaints I have nothing to blog about really. Usually my frustration just pours out but I am not frustrated really. Ok that's not completely true I always have something to say. I started reading Lord of the Flies and I love reading classics that don't make me want to vomit because half the words I have to look up. To be honest that doesn't happen often anymore because of all the vocab Mrs. King is making us do but anyway. I love it so far, there is something elite about reading classics. I have read like 8 this year, I definitely have to read novels in between but reading certain classics that are such experiences.

An Unobstructed View

Last night I read two classics, short ones but amazing ones. Anthem which every person needs to read and Mary Slessor, which made me cry multiple times. Today, Sunday, I drove in to church. Getting there was fun and then I got to sit through a long sermon on listening to God's voice and then proceeded to go 15 minutes on I-5 North instead of south. Dean kept me company but by the time I got home my head was fried. While at church I found a good seat that gave me the perfect view of everyone on stage, and then a nice couple came and sat right in front of me, so without complaining I got up and moved. Then a young mother came in with her son and sat in front of me. SO NICE! I find the phrase that runs through my mind most often lately is, "They are so stupid." That's not very nice of me and not very loving either. How do you stop thinking someone is stupid?

Cracked

Cracked under pressure. By last night I had so much pent up, bottled up anger and frustration that it spilled over and I bawled my eyes out lol but I went home blasted the Rolling Stones, stacked up a bunch of pillows, cried and went to sleep, and of course felt rejuvenated this morning. I woke up after 15 hours of sleep and every single pillow was in the same place, that means I had no dreams and slept really really super deep, usually I move all around in my sleep but not last night. Five days at school and I am wanting to puke my guts out I am so emotionally drained... how is that normal or fair to make kids do something that takes so much energy and unnecessary effort for that matter? People tell their kids that high school is tough, usually they mean that its confusing because of getting hormonal over guys and because girls are mean during high school but high school is hard for different reasons for me.
Tonight was very fun. I drove to Alex's house and it took me an hour because I got so lost. In the end I learned a lot, bottomed out the car on a curb that snuck up on me, and gave myself a lot of pep talks during that time. When I finally got there we played phoozeball, watched Angus Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging, and then Ferris Bouller's day off (which is now my favorite movie). I drove home which took like 15 minutes (big improvement I'd say). And as soon as I got in the car, I rolled down the windows, blasted the Oldies, and let down my hair! O Yes! The high of driving hasn't worn off yet!
