Today was one of the best days of my life. it was the start of the winter x-games. 4 days of shredin, broin, crazy tricks, and unpredictable events. Shaun White, Louie Vito, Caleb Moore, and Levi Levalle are some of my favorite x games participants because they are freaking amazing! They are some of the most talented athletes that i can think of and my idols. I look up to them because they are dedicated to what they do and practice so hard at it and obviously enjoy it. I honestly wish there was one thing that i was good at like them. I have so many friends that are good at things they do. I have 3 friends who are amzing soccer players, 2 friends who are great cheerleaders, 1 wonderful dancer, 2 amazing tennis players, volleyball playes, basketball players, and others. I want to so badly be good and passionate about doing something like most of my friends are. If i could be good at two things, they would most definitely be snowboarding and swimming. I’m not god awful at either one but i could get better. Swimming is probably more realistic for right now because i can do that any day i want to. It is so hard for me to get better at it. It seems like the more i practice i actually get progressivly worse. For the past 3 years i start out the season with pretty good times, and as the season progresses it seems that i get slower. I want to so badly be like some of the girls o our team and be able to be good at more than one stroke and be able to swim down and back in 29 seconds, im pretty sure that will never happen no matter how hard i bust my butt trying. Snowboarding on the other hand would be much harder since i barely go. Everytime i go i try to get better, i try new things that will help me get better and try my hardest. My best friend is an amazing snowboarder..i actually envy her for how good she is. I always watch all the different snowboarding and swimming events that i can because they are fun to watch and i look up to all of the people who have made it their careers, who enjoy and are so good at doing whatever they do. Maybe someday i will find that talent of mine and make it into a career or something…
Absolutely in love with this song
As i’ve been told before, it takes 23 days to break a habit. However, i am 10 days into my 11 day deal wih my friend of breaking a habit. I think that after these 11 days i will finally be a better person and not have to think about you, or have the need to talk to you. I used to think tat i couldn’t get through my day without talking to you…but then again that was back when we were friends. Hopefully i can be strong through this time.
Ask we whatever you would like.
best days
so weekends are the best thing known to man. they allow you to relax and just take a break from your everyday life for awhile. this past weekend was the first good weekend i have had in awhile. Friday was the first fun basketball game that i have ever been to. I think i cheered moreat that basketball game more than any other one. it was just all around fun. saturday i got my ass kicked. i hate swim meets. they make me sick, i feel so sick when am about to swim and they make me so nervous the moment they start. to make everything worse i raced in one of the slowest heats and still got second..and then got second (or last) in my 500. the girl who i ws racing against lapped me, and i saw it which made me feel not so great about myself. but after not practicing for a few weeks, overall, it was a good meet. i saw avatar on sunday…quite possibly the longest movie i’ve ever seen. i love the people that i saw it with..those 3 boys are the funniest guys i have ever met and i am so happy i met them. i am always so happy when with them and seem to always enjoy myself wheni am with them. monday..another woderful day. i spent the majority of it with someone that i am actually starting to like and can see myself with.
11 days until my life will be back to where it was almost a year ago. i just hope i can last that long. my best friend told me that i can do this, and im believing her. hopefully these days fly by..
where did the time go?
Biology 4th hour..quite possibly the greatest class in the world.
Why can’t i be this happy? it seems like i am only this hapy when i am on vacation somewhere, or on a “spiritual high.” im sick of this boring life of mine. What is it about Colorado that is so amazing? The fact that it can snow almost everyday during the winter and then be 70 degrees during the summer, and have mountains? Why can’t Oklahoma be like that?
I wish all of these people didn’t leave me and go off to college. I honestly feel like i don’t even know them anymore, when just 5 or 6ish short months ago i spent every waking moment with them it seemed like. If i could, i’d go back in time and maybe appreciate them more and the great times we all had together.
I have so many pictures from this past summer that just make me want to go re-live all of the memories.
Pray for all of the people in Haiti
Waaayyy past due
A lot has gone on in my life since i’ve last written. I probably shouldn’t even be writing right now because i need to be doing homework, but i am in the mood to write so i suppose i will just catch up on what has happened in my life.
This past summer was quite possibly the best summer i have had in a long time. I didn’t do much, i went to Winter Park, Colorado, and that was very fun. Colorado summers are sooo amazing. It is just great to get away from the people you are normally around (i went with church) and it was overall just an amazing expereience. I made a bunch of new friends, became closer to God, and had fun while i was doing it! Other than going to Colorado i didn’t do anything. just worked..
SCHOOL…that awful 6 letter word. we all dread whether you say you do or not. Those Monday mornings waking up early after you’ve just had the best weekend of your life. Staying out/up late, hanging out with friends, sleeping in. But then it’s ruined by that horrible thig that will help us out during the rest of our life…college…the real world..jobs..it scares me thinking about how i am only a year and a half away from moving almost all the way out of my house and living without my family.
HEARTBREAK. That word makes my stomach just turn and makes me sick, dramatic possibly? yes, but it is very true for me. I had my heart broken at the end of November. I never thought i could hurt worse than i did. One minute you think everything is perfectly fine, and then 3 days later the person who you’ve been dating for months and had some sort of realtionship with for almost a year breaks it off with you. I guess that’s life, and why people say life isn’t fair..If only i hadn’t done some things, if only i hadn’t broken up with him twice, then maybe, just maybe we’d still be together and it’d be the “same” as it used to be. Instead we are now merely friends. He was my best friend, and now i hardly get to talk to him. I honestly want my best friend back…the one i could tell everything to, the one i could call when i was pissed and vent to, the one i could talk to about the problems i has with my girl friends and with my family. that person isn’t there anymore and it saddens me. Hopefully soon i will have good luck with someone, it’ll be a miracle if i do.
SWIM. Maybe my favorite thing to do? The best sport ever. Something i have been doing my entire life. Michael Phelps and Dara Tores, two of my idols. If i could be swimming in the Olympics when i was 40 years old it would be great. If i could make it to the Olympics or even make State my life would be complete..lame, i know. but most definitely not happening.
FRIENDS. I love all of my friends. even if they do make dumb decisions sometimes i still love them with all of my heart. They are and always have been there for me and i thank God everyday for that.
FAMILY. Can’t live with them, but can’t live without them. They are some of your best friends and biggest fans you will ever have. It’s taken me some time to figure that out but i have learned that.
Not really a recap on my life and what has happened, more just thoughts.
let’s be illegal
i kind of have a new obsession with things that are orange. i love the color orange and anything that is flavored orange is amazing! this all started a few weeks ago, and i don’t know why im suddenly obsessed, but i am! so yesterday was a pretty good day i guess. i woke up, got ready for school, then did the whole school thing. i’m so annoyed of doing the same thing over and over. i want some excitment in my life. after school i came home for a while and then i went with some friends to get a spray tan, that took forever, and we didn’t even get them when we wanted them. so then we had to drive downtown to go to this rehersal thing for sweethearts.. tlak about a waste of an hour. it was so pointless, whatever. then on our way home we stopped at taco bell. that was yummy! my friends rachel, abbey, cameron, and i decided we were going to get arrested, then break out of jail, get arrested again, then try to hop the border and go to mexico and go to panama! that’ll be an experience if we ever do that! so then we go back to at the beach and wait an hour to get spray tnas, we finally get them, then i went to my friend abbeys house, we went to pick up nick, went to the basketball game (boring) and then i went home! talk about a fun friday night… I know! i kind of have a boring life…
hurry up summer
oklahoma weather is officially really annoying! i think we might be the only state where we can experience all of the seasons in one week. i guess that’s good at times, but it just gets so annoying! i hate it being cold, because we can’t do anything when it is cold. when it’s cold it should snow, and that should be the only thing happening when it’s cold, nothing else. but no.. in oklahoma the weather decides to be freezing and not do anything, but it’s sunny on those days and you look out your window thinking it’s a nice day but little do you know it’s actually freezing outside. i hate that.. I can’t wait for summer to be here. summer is one of the best seasons because one, ther’s no school. two, you get to hang out with your friends all you want. three, you get to stay up as late as you want without worrying about getting up early in the moring. unless you work..then that just sucks.
well im supposed to be wrting about my friend katie, but i can’t really think of anything to say about her… i guess she’s pretty cool. we’re kind of friends, and we like taking pictures together, showing our 6th grade sides in us. we have some pretty fun times together.
A day in the life
Sooo this is my first blog, and this thing is pretty cool, I’m glad I’m doing this even though no one will read this…At least not that I know of. But, I hear this is a good way to vent and just get your feelings out, so I’m doing this. Well as I said.. It’s my first blog. My friend Sicily told me I should start one, because it’ll me good for me. I sure hope so!
So I guess I’ll talk about my day because I dont know what else to talk about.. So I woke up this morning thinking it was going to be a good day, and it was at the begining because it was really pretty this morning. But then I got to school and I was getting breakfast and when I opened my wallet I noticed that I was missing my drivers license and a gift card and my visa card. I was so mad when I saw that they weren’t there. I thought of when I had them last and I remembered I had them Sunday when I went to carolines party. Immeditely I thought of where I had put my purse at her party, and I remembered that I asked the bartender to put it behind the bar for me…along with other peoples stuff too. At one point I went to the bar to get some water and I noticed my wallet sticking out but I didn’t think about anything. So I’m thinking it was the bartender or one of the waitors that stole my stuff. But honestly, why the heck would they want a sixteen year olds license? Like what can they so with that? Nothing… So I was pretty upset the rest of the day. But I did get to leave school early, it was for an orthodontist appointment (not that great) but I still got to leave early. I’m happy thought because I only have 2 more weeks with these horrible things on, they’re probably the worst thing anyone could ask for. Oh well. So my plan for after school was to go to the orthodontist and then go to the tag agency to get a new license. Well my appointment was over so I made my way to the tag agency. I got there and told them what happened, and they told me that the drivers license machines weren’t working and they weren’t working statewide so I would have to go back tomorrow. I was sooo mad because my mom told me if I didn’t get a new license then I couldn’t drive, so here’s to a few days of not being able to drive!! Yay…
But I got home and saw that my new phone came, so I got happy again. Then I was activating it and the stupid lady on the phone was telling me to do the wrong things so it took my 45 minutes to activate it when it should have taken 15 max.. So then I was mad again.
I’d say I’m pretty content with life right now, even though it doesn’t seem like it from what I wrote. But I am. Partly for two reasons… One, my friends are being nice an accepting me again. And two… I am liking a guy, and u guess be has been telling people thy we’re talking, and I am perfectly fine if he tells people that, because he is so nice and he’s why I’ve been looking for! I sound like a loser for saying that but whatever.. I’m just getting my feelings out there.
That’s it for now.
