oh the blessed nineties =]

Before the MySpace frenzy. The Internet & text messaging. Before Sidekicks & iPods. Before MIKE JONES. Before PlayStation3 or X-BOX. Before Spongebob . . .

Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid...
I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it!

You're a 90's kid if:

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

Updation of Major Proportions!

Alright, so I'm one day late on my posting. Better than than, what, 58ish? If you're expecting me to do my unsual rant of what happen each day of the week, I'm sorry but I would be a crazykid to do that. So to put it in a nutshell, life has been fantabulous. :]

Basketball has been going swell-ly. We just finished a game up (or down? I should know this, but I don't...) at Canton Timken. I think it was either connected to or super close to Stark State University. But either way, when we pulled up I thought we were at a hotel or something. It definatly didn't look like a High School, especially since we were from Akron :]. The locker rooms where CLEAN!, the toilets flushed, the door stayed closed, and I wasn't afraid to step on the floor with my bare feet for fear of contracting some sort of potentially fatal fungus disease. It was a nice change. In some of the other school's we've played in, we couldn't even set our bags on the ground because last season there was a half dead rat ontop of a girl's bag when they came back at half-time. Talk about discusting. The gym was pretty massive. Well Horizontally anyways. It had a wrap around balcony with actual nets on the basketball hoops. Amazing stuff, eh? It didn't sit that many people, though, which surprised me. Well, we came home with a victory which felt amazing. I slept on the ride home. Let it be known, there is absolutly no possible comfortable position on a yellow school bus. Or any school bus for that matter. I'm sure a magenta school bus would be no different.

Exams are this week, ah! Thankfully we got off today for Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior Day. Hahh. I just wanted to type that out. So tomorrow I have my Honors English and Spanish II exam. I get to leave early because the next exam would be for 4th period, which is my lunch period. Wednesday, unfortunatly, I have to stay for the whole thing. Along with Thursday, which thankfully only consists of 2 tests. Ugh. If we weren't a bunch of poo poo heads, I would get to leave early both days, but NOOOOOO we have to take exams in Choir and Orchestra. Major stupidity right there, let me tell you what.
So today I'm having a study group with some friends to help get us prepared for tomorrow. I especially need help in Spanish. We are supposed to do 4 chapters in the first semester. And since my teacher always goes off on a rabbit trail, usually about how amazing her native country of Chile is, we don't get to the lesson plans like we're supposed to. So at the beginning of last week, we were only half way through the fourth chapter. And there was some tough stuff in there, like just beginning to learn the preterite forms of the verb, tantos....como, and the aquel(la) stuff. See, I'm sure you're just as confused as I am about this stuff. And if not, come help me learn it please!!!!

Hmm. Well Christmas was fabulous. Audrey and I both recieved letterman jackets, which we're ready at the time. I guess that we should be getting them today, which gets me all tingly inside. Everyone at school has a coat, even if they are the laziest babboon to walk through the doors. I see some pretty crazy stuff on their backs. Like Animal Management, CBI (which is the class that the behavior problem kids go to), Team Management, and I'm pretty sure I saw a kid with office helper on the back. Hehe.

Well, I can't think of muchelse to post about. I'll definatly try to keep it up this time. And by the way, the youth group blog sidebar has been updated by Clint and myself. Check it outtttt!

:]

I WILL POST TOMORROW

QUOTE ME ON THAT!

it's just too daggon late right now.

GAME DAYYY !

OH CHEESE !

long timesy no posty ! definatly been too long. i think i was actually getting seperation anxiety for a while there. but i'm back so duh duh dahhh you should never ever fear again in your life.

well basketball season has started up. the practices are killer though. today we had practice from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. it was pretty intense, i'm not gonna lie. physical therapy is over now too huraaay ! but for some odd reason my OTHER knee is giving me problems lately. hmm? this is too confusing ..

school is going fabulous(ly) these days too. =] grades closed two weeks ago and i'm pretty sure that i got a 3.9+, all thanks to that stupid B in algebra. eerg. b's never satisfy me. i'm pretty much a profectionist. like in language arts i always straighten up my teacher's desk and her books and stuff. it's crazy ! in choir we are singing this pretty much amazing german 5 part round that i'm sure you've heard me singing up and down the sanctuary at church. it's pretty sweet, i'm not gonna lie. it's like zing dehm herren alehlooyah alehloohyah alehleebeneem lobehtzih nehm nah mehn zeem geht meht tahmboreen en harfah. dont you just love my spelling :] well that's how it sounds .. not spelled.

well i really dont knwo what to else to say. but ill leave you with this promise to post atleast twice a week :] scouts honor.

Just Think Of That Rad Queen Song While You Read This ..

Woo. Ellet High School is the, yet again, cross country city champions :]. the race weather today was brutal, cold, windy, and i little snowy. even though i was not looking forward to it, i wiped two minutes off my time from tuesday. for me, the season was bittersweet. i hated every minute of practice, especially in the summer, but i'm a bit sad now that it's all over. everybody on the team was amazing. i met a lot of cool people i otherwise would never talk to in my life. i deff look forward to next year :D

cha cha cha charmin

Mmk well i guess it's time for that post i promised. and even though i haven't posted in thee longest time, i honestly don't have anything exciting to write about. high school is going good. cross country ends this week. i ran today in the meet against butchel. it was my first time running in a meet for about 2 or 3 weeks. i gave my best even if the ending result wasn't as good as i would have hoped. but what can i do besides keep trying harder. tomorrow and thursday are supposed to be long and hard practices before our city championship meet on saturday. i told coach cochran i was going to open gym for basketball so i wouldn't be at practice. he said it was ok because i'm not one of the people the team is counting on to win city. that hurt. but it's the truth. i'm on jv, and our result has no say in whether or not ellet high school is the city champs in cross country for 2006. but he did warn me that basketball wouldn't help my knee, and if anything would make it worse. with all the turning and pivoting involved, it could really take a toll on that. but i love basketball. i cannot imagine not being able to play freshman year. but then again, i don't want to injure myself permanatly, or sit the bench the entire season like i pretty much did for cross country. physical therapy is still being looked at (i think?) so i haven't started that. it's just frustrating. uuuurgh !!

well on a happier note, all the preperations for my quince and homecoming were a success. homecoming was good. i had fun and got to hang out with my friends. we, me and a group of girl friends, went out to dinner at TGIFridays. man oh man. that was rough. our waiter dave, not to be confused with the pirate, took forever. he should be fired. i was about to fill out a complaint form, but didn't feel like being more late to the dance than we already were, which was an hour. but yea. it was swellllll.

and that's all i can think to write about. leave some comments my beautifuls !!

wow

i'll post when i get home from school today.

well, i did promise ..

ok. so i deff didn't that i would get that many comments so soon. and i've been procrastinating with the posting. so here it is. :] friday at school was so fun. all the periods were shortened woo. except for the algebra test we had, all the teachers pretty much just were like blahhhh. i take that back. especially science. we had a firedrill .. or should i say that train was a-comin' because that's exactly what it sounds like. we talked to the firefighters but they wouldn't give us jr. firefighter stickers :'(. they didn't even know it was a drill. they actually thought ellet highschool was ablaze in flames. so then we went back inside and mr. gambaccinni promised us the day before that he would blow something up. so we mixed a little bit o' zinc and a dash of hydrogen oxide or something like that and then we created (duh duh daaaah) hydrogen in a ballooooooon. which then we put over a candle and it went kaboom. it wasn't that cool though. we were expecting like the firefighters to have to come again. maybe then we could get a sticker ..

so yea .. then we had a pep assembly. which cross country was in. dude i seriously got goosebumps because those kids are so loud. oh, and because me and janell were talking about the creepy scene in willy wonka where they go through the tunnel. but yea .. audrey was feeling pretty bad to the bone as we walked across the gym floor to go sit in the wooden chairs of honor. or that's what i call them. not a big deal. after coach cochran recognized us i went up to the bleachers and was acting absolutly stupid and crazy with julie and hayley. i practically went deaf in both ears, and mute from all the screaming. but of course sophmores won and got the sing the SCHWEEEET alma mater. i'm so jealous *cough cough*.

then i came home and chilleddd before going to the football game. i had fun. my buddy kiera from st.v-m who i haven't seen in 79 years was there wooo. it was so awesome to see her again. :]. i can hardly speak this morning because of those hot chocolates who do not disappoint on the hot aspect.
