ZOMBIES ARE ATTACKING!

Eeeeeek! Run! Zombies!

Ok, now that I'm done with that. Hello everyone. How are you all today? 

I have many things that are mucho excitamundo to talk about. 

Topic 1: Georgia! Ok, so Stop in the Name of Pants, the newest Georgia book, comes out in...crap...hahaha, came out the 1st. Ach! I must call Sophie, and we must have a Georgia-type get-together. Because Georgia is our guiding light in all things girl. We refer to her delightful novels as the "girl bible". Totally heresy, but whatever. Who will she take out of the cake shop of love: Massimo the Italian Stallion, or Dave the L, her hornmeister and all-around go-to guy? We shall see, shant we? And also, assuming it does indeed come out in the U.S, the movie version of ATFFS comes out July 25! Woot!

Topic 2: Breaking Dawn!!!! So, the last book in the epic tale of Bella and Edward and company comes out August first. I already reserved my copy. We, being Caroline, Sophie, Pratima, and I, want to have a party and read all of them together. Yes yes.

Topic 3: Zombies. Yes, zombies. You read correctly. Now, before you go lock me up, I must explain. Patrick wanted me to write a story for some zine he's making. I don't ask questions, I just follow orders. (Thinking about it, blindly doing anything he asks might not be in my best interest...) So now I'm writing a zombie story! It's really cool. I based it off this dream that Kiki had, and I'm really excited about it. The end is sort of dying on me, but I think it'll work out well. I'll send the first, un-edited version to Packy when he gets back Monday from OB, and we'll see what he thinks. 

Topic 4: Last, but certainly not least...Michael. Yep, him again. So, he's finally back from his never-ending camping trip. And he was at the Outlaws game/fireworks last night. So, after months of not seeing him, I finally got to. It was really exciting. That kid makes me laugh. I like him a lot.

So yeah, that's about it. Unless you want me to talk about work. I can do that. My official rescue tally is up to 3 now. 2 in the slide catch, and one at the drop slide. Why parents insist on sending children who can't swim down slides is beyond me. But they do, and that's why we work. It's interesting, that's for sure. Hahaha, Mclovin (AKA Stephan) and I have this thing going, where we sub each other a lot, and have a count down of shifts left. And if we end up closing at Lagoon 1 and 2, he tries to get us to switch. He's a funny kid. We give each other such crap. And apparently Michael knows Pat and Kevin. Kevin is pretty much my favorite head guard ever. Cept for maybe Sarah. Or Josh. But those are my top 3, no questions asked. Although Mike is awesome. 

Hmmmm, P.S. I saw Sweeny Todd. Amazing. 'Nuff said.

I Love Life... XD

Life is wonderful. Wanna know why? Good, cuz I'm going to tell you. So sit down, children, and I will tell you a story. 

So, essentially, last night, we had the Olssons over and made s'mores over the fire pit, which was pretty much amazing. I love fire. 'Cept then Andy and Billy put leaves in the fire, which made it smell funny. But it was still pretty darn amazing. We talked about work, and weird people, and old music. I love nights like that, just sitting outside with people and talking. It's great. 

This morning life wasn't so hot, because we had a swim meet, but the idiots who ran it took for-ev-er. It was painful. It was 2:30, and they were on the IM, so they just cut final relays. So all I swam today was the 50, the 100 free, and the IM. Joy, eh? But, at long long last, we got to go home. And that's when the real fun started.

Basically, I finally got the chance to go play 40K and Dark Heresy. Despite ridiculous parental concern (honestly, what's going to happen in a basement with like, 2 of Patrick's gamer friends? the answer, nothing.), I managed to con my way into a ride up to Patrick's house. So I got there, and honestly, Packy's family is so sweet. Especially his mom. So I traipse down to the basement, and there's Packy, Nick, Nik, Nik's little bro (Nik 2.0, as Nick calls him), and Erik. And they were all playing Warhammer 40K, which is really complicated if you don't know what's going on. But they kinda explained it to me, so it was all good. I got to command a Baneblade tank, but my dice-rolling sucks, and I killed about 1 person. It was pretty sad. But then Erik had to go, which sorta killed the game, seeing as he owned like, half the models. So we cleaned up, which took about 400 years. But we succeeded, and then we played Dark Heresy. That was fun, and I knew what to do. Plus, I was the least pathetic shot, since I killed this one guy with my shotgun, while Nik missed entirely, and Nick took aim. But then Nik missed killing this other guy and like, stabbed himself, and then Nick stabbed him, and then I hit Nick with my club (mind you, all these injuries were inadvertent), but eventually we killed him. But then we encountered a deamon, and I freaked out, and again, the rest of the lot failed in the whole attacking bit. So Packy made it disappear, but then his brain died, so he couldn't think of what should happen next. So we went and ate pizza. And then went back to the basement and played some random video games until my father came to pick me up, which was the tragedy of the century. 

But yeah. I finally got to meet Nik, who I talk to all the time, and I got to see Nick, who I haven't seen in ages, and I got to see Patrick again. So it was pretty much a grand old time. I was in one of those moods where everything is funny, and no matter how hard you try, you can't stop laughing. So that was fun. Oh, and over dinner, we had this great conversation about what if life was really all a dream, and you woke up and forgot everything, and then went on to live a completely different life. Like you were an alien or something. And then one about how what if it was actually post apocolypse, and we had just created the working world in our minds. It was crazy. I love those boys. 

Ok, nighty night!

~the supreme ruler of the universe :)

ADD Much?

Hahahaha, I'm layout ADD. I wish I could find cooler backgrounds for my blog. The ones they have make me sad. Well, not sad, per say, they just aren't a whole lot of fun. Quel domage! 

Yeah, so right now, I'm taking a break from cleaning. I tried to tackle my desk. Without a plan of action. BAD idea. So, in the course of an hour to an hour and a half (not actually sure how long it was), I managed to pull everything off and out of it, wipe it down, sort through some of the crap, and put some stuff back in the main drawer and two or three compartments. However, because there's still massive amounts of crap on my floor, my room looks even worse. Again, I ask, Why does it have to get worse before it gets better? 

Yep. I took the day off from swimming today, but I only slept til like, 7. I have 2 days a week where I don't get up at the crack of dawn, and I STILL get no sleep. Waaaaah. 

Ok, well, I'm thinking I'm gonna go take a shower, then walk over to Old Navy and such to look for a present for Allie. And then I'm going to nap and clean a little. Or come back and talk to Patrick again. We have such stupid conversations. I love it. 

Bye all!

Running on Iced Chai

Hello world! Today is a good day thus far, although I have only been awake for 3 hours. Yes, I did get up at 5:40. Nice math work, geniuses. I went to swim practice. What a party. Trish decided that today was going to be IM work. Yippee! So first we did a bunch of 25s IM order. That wasn't too bad, especially since they were on the 45 seconds. Easy peasy. But then it got gross. She decided we were going to do a ladder of 200 IMs. So we start with a 25 fly, then 50 fly, then 50 fly 25 back, then 50 fly 50 back...and so on and so forth. And after we got to a whole 200 IM, we decrease, so it goes 50 fly 50 back 50 breast 50 free, 25 fly 50 back 50 breast 50 free... etc. At least she let us do fly drill when we were dying. God, it hurts my shoulders to even brush my teeth now. I'm in such miserable swimming shape. Saturday is going to be fun. 

So I got back, and Billy still has school (sucker!) so I had the house to myself. So I decided to take a trip to Starbucks for fuel. So I got a lowfat blueberry muffin *yummy* and and iced chai. And now I'm home, and I made myself another chai. And I'm going to drink more when I finish this one because I boiled waaaaayyyyy too much water. But that's ok. Chai is tasty! Hmmmm, I needed to steep that longer. It's not very flavorful. Oh well, it's still delicious. 

I have to work rental again tonight. Maybe Alex is working. He always keeps it funny. He was singing Abba and Sound of Music last time. That was a party. He's a funny kid. 

So, assuming I don't have to switch with Rachel, I get to go to the 7th grade end of the year party tomorrow. Yay! Playing with Billy's friends is always fun. Yippee skippee. Actually I'm really excited to see CJ. Did I ever mention the terrifying dream I had about him dying? It was awful. And then I had another dream about him. Is that really weird and creepy to have dreams about your little brother's friends? But CJ and I are pals. So are Greyson and I, and Julian and I. Hahah, and Phillip. I love Philly! He's my favorite. Wow, I sound like such a pedophile. But I mean, it's only a 2 year difference. And they're cool. So whatever. It's not really any different than Sienna hanging out with Senior boys. So it's all good. Right? Back me up here, people! 

So Adrianne is on my case to watch Code Geass now. I tried, but the site she wanted me to use was down. So I'll try again later. 

Ug, I have to start cleaning my room today. Yich. I should probably start in my closet. It would be so much easier if half mom's belongings weren't in my bloody closet. I would have all those shelves and whatnot to use for my crap. I should suggest that... She doesn't even wear anything in there. It's not fair to use my room to store her crap and then yell at me when my room is messy. Mostly it's just clothes on the floor anyway. And my desk is a  nightmare. But whatever. It's all good, right? That's what I thought. 

Ok, well, that's good for now. I'm gonna finish my chai, make another one, and start on my room. And then come back to talk to my loser friends online and watch Code Geass (hopefully!).

~the supreme ruler of the universe (haha, I haven't ended like that in ages!)

Zzzzzz... *snore*

*Jolts awake* I'm awake, I promise! Really truly I am! Isn't summer supposed to be for sleeping in and chilling out? Yeah, that's what I thought. Now tell that to the rest of the people involved in my life. So, swim practice. Yeah, it's a party. Every morning at 6. I was so NOT awake this morning. It was crazy. Probably because I had to work until 9 last night, and it took forever to get to bed after that, so I got pretty much no sleep last night. Eeeeew, and I have to work the 8-hour shift today. Not that work is that bad, but 8 hours is a long time to sit there and stare at the water. So yeah, thus is my life this summer. It's going to be a party. All my friends are threatening to come to the pool to pretend to drown. Grrrrr.

So guess who I saw again on Friday. That's right. Patrick! A bunch of us from school all went to see the new Indiana Jones movie on Friday after the last final, and I  coerced Packy into coming with us. So he did. I adore that child! 

So, speaking of the movie...as an Indiana Jones, it wasn't great. I mean, it was an entertaining movie, but it just wasn't Indy. For the sake of you who may not have seen the movie, I won't spoil it. But honestly, the ending in this one made Temple of Doom look believable. Ridiculous or what? And, honestly, Harrison Ford looked old. But they played that well. Still, he was too old for the amount of time they claimed passed between movies. And I'm not a big fan of Shia LeBoeuf. He's not really attractive. At all. But he did make a good greaser, I'll give him that. 

Ok, so the other day, we bought a fire pit. You know, the ones that are just big bowl-shaped things on legs that you light a fire in? Yeah, so we lit a fire in it Saturday night. I don't know what it was, but sitting there watching the fire made me feel so alone. Mom and dad were right there, and they were talking, and we had music and stuff, but I was just so lonely. And I really missed Michael. I don't even know why. But I did. It was awful. I was so close to calling him and leaving him some sort of angsty message, but I didn't. It was the weirdest thing, being that lonely, especially with everyone there. But it also really made me want to go camping. I love camping! 

Ok, well, I'm gonna go ... do something. I just don't know what. Probably get ready for work. 

Oh, P.S. Julia is in freaking New York, and she went to see RENT! I am so beyond jealous that it's not even funny. Grrrrrrrx.

SQUEEEEEEEEEE

Guess what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

I saw Patrick today!!!!!!

That made me so happy. You have no idea. I adore that boy. I really do. And....his hair was still blue!!!!! He's the cutest kid too. I get to see him again on Monday. And maybe tomorrow. How do I go so long without seeing him?

Ok, well, as promised, I'm going to post lots of Fruba (fruits basket) pictures!

Here we go!

Yuki! He's the rat, and he's adorable!

That there is Kyo. He's the cat, and he's even more adorable. But very, very angsty.

This here is Hatori. He's the dragon, and he's also a doctor. And probably the only Sohma guy with any sense. I love him.

This here is Shigure, the dog. He's my second favorite (Hatori is third), and he's SUCH a perv. But so very very adorable.

This is Hatsuharu, or Haru. He's my favorite. He's the ox, and he's got a split personality. He's normally super sweet, but occasionally he turns into "Black Haru" and then and then he's a total badass. 

I'd add more pictures, but I really have to get back to studying. Bye everyone!

Haru..... <3

Yeppers...

I feel kinda silly posting while Julia is reading this, but what the heck. She'll just get to read this post later. Speaking of... I forget if I talked about Pops. So I shall talk about it. Again, possibly. But basically it was amazing! Rives, Goody, Paige and I all went to Julia's Pops Concert over the weekend. It was fantastic! She and the rest of the orchestra did "1812 Overture," and she had to dress up as a peasant. That was funny. And so did Jeff, her BF. That made me laugh. OOOOHHHH, they used confetti cannons, too. Confetti cannons! That amuses me to no end! And then Tay and the band did a P.D.Q. Bach piece called "Grand Symphony  for an Awful Lot of Winds and Percussion" or something. It was so entertaining. And he, of course, wore the fuchsia tux shirt. That made me happy to no end. Their choirs were fun. Their boys group was so fun, and their select group's a capella pieces were FANTASTIC! It was all just amazing in general...

So, today was my official last day of classes as a freshman. Woot! I'm so excited. Today was supposed to be a review day, but Putka (geometry) wasn't there, and we didn't really have anything to do, so we watched music videos on Ben's iPhone. And Nick's. Which was a party. But then Ben and Spencer and Matt had to go and be asses in LST. Poor Mr. Burnham. He tries to be nice to them, and they're such jerks to him. And Ben's such a sweet kid, but he turns into a moron with those boys in that class. So he got kicked out of class. Granted, Mr. Burnham did kind of single him out, and he was kind of the scapegoat for the three of the boys together. But still. Mr. Burnham put up with them all year, and they couldn't just hold it together for 40 minutes. Why are boys such bastards? 

Fruits Basket...I'm in love. Momiji is soooooo cute! And Yuki and Kyo are adorable. But my favorite is totally Hatsuharu. And tied for second are Shigure (only because he's older, and Haru's cuter... but I adore Gure.) and Hatori. Hiro's a jerk sometimes. I think next post, I'll just use it all posting pictures. YAY!

 

*BAM*

Hahahaha, so Adrianne sent me the lyrics to her happy birthday song. It's by the Arrogant Worms and it's very funny. 

Once a year we celebrate

With stupid hats and plastic plates

The fact that you were able to make

Another trip around the sun

And the whole clan gathers round

And gifts and laughter do abound

And we let out a joyful sound

And sing that stupid song

Happy birthday

Now your one year older

Happy birthday

Your life still isn't over

Happy birthday

You did not accomplish much

But you didn't die this year

I guess that's good enough

Yeah.... So that prompted me to go look at the youtube video for it, which was funny. But then I clicked on the "Ontario Sucks" song once the song was over, and that was really funny. Basically it was a Canadian band bashing all the provinces except Alberta. And then they said that Calgary sucks! Hahahah, BAM! What now, Flames?!?!? Ba ha ha ha. 

So, for the last 3 days I've had lifeguarding stuff, which has been interesting. I'm starting work Sunday. I'm a little scared, not going to lie...

Hahah, yearbook signing party today. Wow, we had fun. Darin is so funny. I adore that kid. Even if he does write crude, vulgar things in my yearbook. Ben signed mine too, which made me laugh. He wrote, and I quote "Emily - (insert Rise Against sign here)" and then some crap about how much fun math was and how he can't wait to see me again. But the "insert Rise Against sign here" made me laugh. He pulled out his iPhone to look at a picture of it, cuz he was going to draw it, but then he was like, "Screw that, I can't draw it." So he just put the "insert here" bit. It made me laugh. Hahahah, we put sooooo many inside jokes in there. Like latex allergies, and short shorts, and G-nut, and Michael! How you doin'? Oh wow, quality...

Yeah, ok. Off to go read more Fruits Basket. It's my new obsession!

High On Life Day

I hereby proclaim today *drumroll please* NATIONAL HIGH ON LIFE DAY! Or at least, a high on life day. Because I so totally am.
Wanna hear why? Course ya do! Here goes! So first, we sat out in the hall by Adrianne's locker, and we talked about prank phone calls. So Adrianne tells us about this time when she and Tasia called this random kid and pretended to be at the hospital. Tasia was giving birth, and Adrianne was the frantic mother. So the call went a little like this:
Adrianne: Where are you? You need to be here! How dare you abandon my daughter?!?!?!
*Tasia screaming in the background*
Tasia: Steve! Steve, the baby's coming!
More screaming, and more of the same basic thing.
That poor kid. He never knew what hit him. We were laughing so hard. Pratima was crying she was laughing so hard, I was in fits, and everyone else was positively shrieking with laughter. Quality.
After that, Pratima mentioned that her parents had been at a luncheon with Brendan's (and Emily likes Brendan). So she tells us this, and then was like, "I could have said so many awkward things. Like 'did you talk about...pants?'" Oh, wow. Yeah, long story behind that, involving Brendan and baseball. Don't ask, please.
So that was all fun and dandy. So then I came to the library for my double off, and I sent Michael this huge e-mail, because I was really bored, and also high on life. So yeah, that was fun. It was the most random thing!
Oh, check what Juls sent me! This is the funniest thing I have seen in forever! It really added to my day.

Yep. And now we're going to Dairy Queen after school for Track. Yay! Oh, wow, it's going to be a long day.
<3

Bwa ha ha

I'm totally running out of things to call these posts. If only something worthy of a title would appear in my rather dull life. Alas. 

So anyway. That whole meet that I was supposed to have on Friday? Yeah, that never happened. We drove all the way the heck out there, and then sat in the freezing cold for a while, and then they sent us home. It was quality. But that's ok, because we had a quality time on the bus. And then we went up Saturday, and talked music, and played catch with the shotput. That was fun. Every time she picked it up, Ellie was shocked at how heavy it was. That made me laugh. Mhhhhhm. But now track is over! Hallelujah! I can actually train for the BB now!

Speaking of, we had a training run today. And it was about 45 degrees, and really windy. But we ran anyway, dammit! Cuz we're just that dedicated. Hells yes. Julia and I had fun talking about Paige and Markus (her new boyfriend, whom we're not sure we approve of just yet), and also awkward situations. Quality, no? 

Ok, I don't know if I've mentioned Beau's band yet, but even if I have, I'm going to again. Essentially, he is INCREDIBLE! Seriously, you would not believe it. His band is called "For Love of Ivy", but you buy his music on iTunes under Beau Osland. I really want to add the music player from his myspace page onto my blog, but I'm technologically challanged. I know it's in HTML, and I also know you can add an HTML object, but somehow it just doesn't work. But you should all go look for his music. My favorite songs is "Heart's Desire", but I also really like "School Girl" and "New Vitality". Oh, and they're going to be in a movie!!!!! It's called "Text", and the band makes an appearance, and they're also on the soundtrack. I'm so in awe of them, you have no idea!

Ok, well, I'm off ot kill time on the Twilight lexicon...

lurve!

~the supreme ruler of the universe

Hello, World!

Hey all! Long time no...um, encounter? Whatever. Point being, I haven't talked, or typed, for a while.
Essentially, right now, I am sitting in Western Civ, in a tomb of silence. It's kinda nice, actually. Today is "Day of Silence" for GSA, so I, along with a number of my friends, aren't talking all day. It's really cool, actually. Although, it's kinda killing me not being able to talk. Yikes. I would die if I couldn't talk. It's been 3 and a half hours since I took the pledge, and I've been so tempted to talk. But I'm not going to until I get on the bus to go to track.
Basically, I have a two-day track meet this weekend. We're leaving school at 1:45-ish, and we've got a meet til like, 7. Unfortunately, I'm ditching in the middle to go to YVC rehearsal at 6. So I'm going from short-shorts and a singlet to my sparkle top and palazzo pants. To top it all off, it's about 43 degrees right now. We're all going to freeze at this stupid meet! Bloody heck! So tonight, I run the 800 and possibly do shot, and then tomorrow, I run the 4x2 (200, for those of you non-tracky types), and the 400. Wow. It'll be fun.
Tonight I have a two hour rehearsal for our concert tomorrow, and I'm wondering how I'm going to make it. Cuz I'll have come from freezing at a track meet, and I'm not totally sure how the food situation is going to work. Cuz I'm not usually hungry after meets, but I don't know if I can last 2 hours. Then tomorrow, after my meet, I have a short break, and then off to the Newman Center at DU to go sing in the concert. And of course, as is expected for any concert, half the people don't know what's going on, and furthermore, Jena's going to freak out on us. It'll be fun, I guarantee it.
So, Nick is convinced that Michael is my boyfriend. Every time I go online, he asks how the bf is, and if I'm talking to him. Of course, I never actually said that we were going out, Nick just assumed that. And, well, I can't say I told Nick he was wrong. I talked to Michael last night. He was packing for some huge camping trip he's going on tonight at the sand dunes. I love the sand dunes! That's where Billy is now, on the 7th grade Colorado trip. I'm so jealous. Of them both, really. I LOVE camping! I want to go camping again soon. I think as soon as I can drive, assuming the parentals are down with it, I'm going to get a bunch of people together and go camping. It'd be awesome! That's my evil plan.
Wow, I am really hungry. Wonder if our managers brought any food? Well, I'll find out, because I'm going to Ms. Baker's office anyway to pick up my letter for swimming. I'm so happy! I get a letter! And then I get more pins for track, even though I am for sure the worst runner on the team. It makes me sad. I used to be ok at track. I think being sick killed a lot of my season, but still. I should be able to run faster than I have been.
Ok, I think I've blown off class for long enough. I should probably go do something, despite the fact that I have nothing to do... Oh well. Wow, I almost used too many dots in my ellipsis! Patrick would have killed me! He's so funny, he yells at me for using to many dots, and when I do, which is always inadvertent, he calls me "Emiiiiiiiiiiily." His point is that just cuz I like dots doesn't mean I can use them whenever I want. Sort of like, he can't just throw in a million "i"s. However, I like being called emiiiiiiiily, so whatever. It's the only time he ever uses my name. Silly boy.

Ok, well, I'm going to go do something "productive" with my life...
~the supreme ruler of the universe

A Limited View into My Strange and Slightly Confusing Mind

Hello, lovely, lovely world! Actually, the world isn't all that wonderful, I'm just really happy. So the world looks pretty fantastic. Anyhoo, to business.

First off, I just saw (finally!) Juno. It was AMAZING!!!!!! I'm officially obsessed with the soundtrack. I've had it for all of like, 3 days, and I know pretty much all the songs. They're so good! And um, Paulie Bleaker is my hero. And I now have this thing for orange Tic Tacs. I've always liked them, and now I have a reason. Hahahaha. Quality, man. Quality. 

Ok, the next order on the agenda. Um, track. I can't tell if coach is sadistic, or really cool. She made us run sprints in the blizzarding snow yesterday despite the fact that no one had pants. But then today we did a really fun out-and-back. It made me really happy. I was still slow, but it was awesome! Once I got into it, it felt great!

Hmmmmmm, what now? Oh, um, Michael. Yes yes. So, (again! argh) my lovely friends, whom I adore so much *cough, cough* decided to steal my phone. This time it was Darin. Lovely. Lovely lovely lovely. However, following his rather awful phone call (here's a hint. it started with "hey, snugglemuffin". typing that word makes me feel a little nauseous.), I called Michael back. So we talked on the phone for about and hour and a half, which was really entertaining. And then, now we're going to see Superhero Movie on Saturday. I'm really really excited for this. I can't wait!

Hahahaha. Choir concert was Tuesday night. It was pretty good. Jekyll sounded so good! And everyone liked our lollipops. It was way fun. So anyway, we took a trip to Starbucks today to celebrate. I love Ali. Seriously, I want to be her when I grow up. But yeah, we listened to the "Spring Awakening" soundtrack in the car, and talked about how Emily's dad calls her fat. Despite the fact that she probably weighs about 105 lbs. . . Yes yes. 

Okays. Well, I should probably actually get some work done on my Galapagos project, which I've been "working on" for the last 45 minutes. Aren't I such a good girl?

 

Blerg. And Other Randomosity.

Hey! Hey hey hey! Guess what? Sos, I went to the doc yesterday, and finally they listened when I said that I wasn't getting better. So the doc listens to my lungs and all that jazz, and I cough up a lung in front of her, and essentially she has proclaimed that I have walking pneumonia, or something like it. It's lovely. So now I'm on serious drugs. Every morning and night, I take my antibiotic, 3 different nasal sprays, cough meds... I think that's it. I also take an inhaler every 4 hours, and I take benedryl to help me sleep. I am a walking medicine cabnet, no? How do you spell that bloody word anyway? Bah. Who cares.

So, I went to track today, despite being sick. I managed to run at the meet Tuesday, even if I sucked. So I went to practice. We played ultimate. (frisbee, for those of you who don't know). It was awesome. My team was Riley, Ellie (who couldn't catch. the boys decided not to pass to her; it was sad, but needed), Coach Baker, Jack, Michael (not my lover XD), and Beau. Beau is my hero. For those of you who know music, he's friends with Tickle Me Pink, and he opened at their concert. I'm so jealous - I wanna be in a band!!!!! But anyway, we had so much fun. I love ultimate. Definately the most fun game ever. We shoulda won, but what ever. We played well, and it was way fun. That's all that matters. Oh, yeah, and we didn't have to run sprints. 

So, um, I had something to say, and I am drawing a blank. It's Friday, I'm entitled. Darn, I have this feeling that it was vaguely important. Blast! Oh! Hahaha, I remember. I am officially obsessive re: the Twilight series! Those books are amazing! August 2 cannot come fast enough! (That's when Breaking Dawn comes out).  Yeah, so Sophie, Pratima, Caroline, and I have this massive e-mail about the books going. We just talk about how much we love the books, and how much we love the characters, and how we would marry all the Cullen boys, and have lesbian flings with the girls..... Ok, stop giving me funny looks. I'll shut up. 

Bolder Boulder training is starting up. Mayhaps I'll be well enough to run. That'd be nice. I was such a good runner during XC. Ok, not good. But better than I've ever been. So I was all psyched for track and the BB, but now I can't run much without dying. Being sick for a month, and not running for 2 weeks really gets you out of shape. I was in such good shape, too, after swim season. Blast damn. 

Ok, well, there's a new Numb3rs on soon, so I'd best be off.

Ermmmmmmmuuuurrrrrrrgggggg

So I decided to change my background. I got bored with the old one. It was too.....I dunno. Mature and professional and normal. And you lovely people reading this blog (SPAZ!!!!!) can plainly tell that this blog is anything but. Yes yes. 

What shall I entertain you with today? Well, Hillary left. We had a lovely weekend filled with Guitar Hero (wicked awesome game!) and Dance Dance Revolution (even more wicked awesome. wickeder??????). Yeah, so that was a party. And also, I drove up to Red Rocks. That is the coolest place ever. I don't know if you out-of-state readers know what Red Rocks is. It's basically a natural ampitheater. And it's made out of naturally occuring red rocks. Hence the name. It's way cool. Here's a picture I took in 6th grade on a hike. And next to it is a picture of the actual theatre part. 

Yeah. So that is the wonder that is Red Rocks. Cool place. Check it out if you're ever in Colorado. Concerts there are so much fun. 

Ya know what pretty well sucks? The fact that I had this awful respiratory infection for over 3 weeks, and just when I thought it was almost gone, it's getting worse. It's really the most dreadful thing ever. Except for maybe not seeing Patrick today. I was going to go chill with him at Cherry Creek today, but then Hil wasn't leaving til 3, so I wouldn't have been up there til 3:30. and then I had rehearsal at 5, so I didn't end up going. And of course, he won't get on the bloody computer, so I can't see if we can hang tomorrow. I haven't seen him in AGES!!! I miss that boy! 

Ok, well, I'm sleepy. Imma go to bed. Night everyone. 

Love to you all!

Where Do We Go?

As promised about a month ago, if not longer, here's the poem I wrote for Patrick. I know he's not going to see it, and I'm really not sure if I want him to. But here's the poem none the less. It's kinda hella long, but that's irrelevant.

Where do we go

When our time here is finally over?

Do we pass through the gates of heaven;

Frolic in Valhalla?

Spend eternity in happiness

However we chose to spend time?

Or do we wanter purgatory?

Do our souls spend all time

Trapped in that black hole

Of neither life nor death,

Not heaven, but not hell?

Doomed to wander until judgement

Do we roast in the sulfurous pits

That we perceive as hell,

Forever trapped in misery

For all our earthly sins?

Or maybe

Do we simply disappear

Our existences wiped from the slate?

Are our souls, so dear to us

Lost in the expanses of space

No longer there to love?

Our passions lost to time

Like a candle doused

Without so much as a trail of smoke

Left to remember by?

Is death a rebirth

Into eternity

To face forever happiness

Or endless torture?

Or is death the last frontier

The point of no return

The supernova of existence

From brilliance to nothing

With no in-between?

After life

Will we live forever

Or vanish without a trace?

Jeeze! Now I'm all depressed again. Sorry, loyal readers.

Only the Most Exciting Thing Since Ever

Hey guess what loyal readers? I finally have someone who not only reads me, but leaves comments! I have no idea who she is, but she left me a comment, and I love her for it. So I went and read her blog. And left her comments. And I'm going to be cool and keep doing that. Because it makes me happy. And also because maybe she'll keep reading my blog. That would be fantasticismus. I love Georgia. 

Speaking of Georgia, I cannot wait for the movie!!!!! Georgia and Jaz and Sven and Libby and Angus.....amazing. Sophie said the movie only comes out in England. That would be trés tragic. But then I would just take Paige and Sophie to England and we would go see it. Getting the money for the trip, and permission and whatnot....well, we'll not think about that. 

So, I'm finally getting lifeguard certified. It's not til next month, and the class is every Sunday in April, but I will be certified. And hopefully I'll get a job at the "club." For those of you who don't know, the club isn't actually a country club. It's just a pool that happens to have a golf course, so they decided to call it a country club. But yeah. 

Funny story. I was at Allie's for a random, just-because sort of party, and my "friends" (I really truly love them.) stole my phone and called Michael. Can you say "awkward"? Yeah, but anyway, whilst I was in the other room cringing - it wasn't worth trying to rescue the phone - they asked him all sorts of really random and weird questions. And then Adrianne said she was with the Mafia. That was just bizarre. But I got my phone back in the end. So today I call to apologize and he picks up and goes, "Hey! No Mafia this time?" It made me laugh. Mostly he makes me laugh. I like him. A lot. Paige wants us to date. It's funny. After we called him from the bathtub in Snowmass (I forget if I mentioned that earlier), she says, "Please date him. Please date." I told her if he asks me out, I'll say yes. But I'm not going to ask him out. I'll admit it; I am a coward when it comes to romance. I need Georgia's help. And Paige. 

So I'm working on my old story from 7th grade, the one about Lydia the girl warrior. It's going...interestingly. I'm revamping it. Paul says it's getting better. It was really funny - Julia sent me a copy of part of a story, "Hands", that I wrote a while ago, and she told me that I was such a good writer. I don't think that story was all that great. Oh well. If people like it, I'll keep doing it. Eventually I may actually finish something. And maybe it'll be good!

Hillary is coming this Friday. I love my aunt! She's so cool. Alas, she wants to do something with "just me." If only I had something to do. I'm thinking we should go see Juno because I haven't seen it yet and I can't think of anything. Grrx. 

I'm so tired

I haven't slept a wink

I'm so tired

My mind is on the brink

I wonder, "should I get up

And fix myself a drink?"

No no no

I'm so tired

I don't know what to do

I'm so tired

My mind is set on you

I wonder, "Should I call you?"

But I know what you would do....

The song's context is a little different, but the point still stands that I am exhausted. If I wasn't talking to Patrick about this RPG he's roped me into, I'd be in bed. And also I want to talk to Nik if he gets on. I'm such a silly girl. But I love talking to them!

~the supreme ruler of the universe

Oh, Shame Shame

Look at how long it's been since I've written! I'm such a horrible person. Caitlin actually brought the whole not writing thing to my attention. No, I didn't forget you! Really, truely, honestly! I didn't!

But anyway, what shall I tell you about? Well, I went skiing with the Ace Gang last weekend. It was pretty fun, seeing as there were 11 of us in this tiny little condo. But yeah. I was sick as all get out though. I missed the next 3 days of school. And the snow made traffic so bad that we actually left Monday morning instead of Sunday night. That was.... a new experience. A little weird, too. What ever. 

3rd quarter report cards came out yesterday. I was a little worried, but I managed to pull my French grade up to an A-, which was nice. I was afraid it had plummeted. Guess not. THat was nice, though. My Western Civ grade went down from a high A to an A-, but what ever. We actually had to work this quarter, so that'd be why. Yeah, so that was exciting. So to celebrate (God only knows why my parents have to celebrate a good report card in this manner) we went out to breakfast. So we went to the Egg and I, which was fine. Their eggs aren't really all that good. So I sat and ate mediocre eggs and coughed a lot to "celebrate." Gee, don't you wish you were me? (Oh, look! I used the subjunctive.)

I went to go see Step Up 2 yesterday with the Veras. That was fun. There was minimal plot and character development, but the dancing was frigging awesome, so it all worked out. Yay! I wish I could dance like that. However, I can't even dance the Cha Cha Slide properly, so no such luck. 

Ok, well, that about summs up my life for the last little bit. If anything else occurs to me, I'll let you know.

If Only I Had Something to Call This Post...

Hello there, world! I know no one actually reads this, but I thought I might as well wright. Or write. Or however you spell it. I'm in no mood for spelling. Not that I ever am. 

Oh, hey! Yesterday and Friday were league meet. It was exciting. I swam PR's in both of my events (200 free and 100 breast). And I placed 8th in the 200 and 11th in the 100 breast. Then yesterday at finals, I moved up to 7th in the 200 and 9th in the 100. It made me happy. I added a second in my 200, but I moved up a place. And I took off a second in the breast and moved up...2 places. So it's all good. Alyssa got 15th in the 100 fly. And she definitely swam it about as fast as I do. That was exciting. Pratima got.... erm, I don't remember. But she did well. So it's all good. 

Hmmm. You know what I hate? Valentine's Day. Yep. I hate it. It is a stupid, pointless holiday. Basically, it's an excuse for people to get gifts. It's so stupid. Frankly, if I have a "significant other," I'm not going to prove my love by buying a cheesy card on Valentine's Day. And if I don't, I don't need a stupid holiday to rub it in my face that I'm single. Meh. What a waste of, well, everything. Yeah. So there's my anti-Val's Day rant. Hope you enjoyed it. I'm thinking I'm going to wear all black on it just to show my contempt. Muah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. <- that was an evil laugh, if you were wondering.

So Michelle had her birthday party last night. So we stayed up ridiculously late watching "She's the Man" and talking and playing stupid games like "Never Have I Ever" and the like. It was quality. We are so loud. And also we tell inappropriate jokes more often then I thought. And also, we're really loud. Seriously, there were 10 of us (I think) and we were loud as all get out. It was lovely. And deafening. 

Ok, well, I'm hungry and bored. And tired. And talking about my love life, or lack thereof, with Nick is getting old. And I'm jealous that he and Patrick are going to the Chimaira concert. But it's 16 + and there's no way my parents would let me go even if I was old enough or managed to keep that detail from them and procure a fake ID. So I'm thinking food and naptime are in order.

Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite, or Julia, acutally

Hello everyone! I haven't written in AGES! Sham shame. But Julia has requested a post, and a post she shall have! 

Well, I suppose I could tell you all about Sadie's. So basically I went with Michael. I told you about him. He's the one we met skiing. He's lovely. And tall. Aneke (Annika for those of you who don't know how to read that) noticed that. Well, we all did, but she commented on it. Anyway, so we all went to Emily's house, we all being Emily, Michelle, Sophie and I, and got ready. Then we went to Annie's Café and met up with Michael (yeah, he was the only guy. . .) for dinner. It was so much fun. We all laughed SOOOOOOO hard! Then we all paraded off to the dance. First thing Michael says when we get in the door:  "This has to be the lowest-budget dance ever!" That made me laugh. So we kinda danced and talked and did whatever it is you do at dances. It was lovely. 

Oh, I spent the last 2 Sundays doing the on-street driving with Masterdrive. It's been lovely. So yeah. 

Ooohh! We had a swim meet on Thursday. Avery came, which made me laugh. But I swam really well! I got second in the 500 free - I swam a 6:49 - and 3rd in the 200 IM - it was under 3 minutes, a 2:51 I think. So that was fun. 

Ok, I've run out of things to say. Hope you liked it, Juls. NIGHT!

Death, Filming, and other Mildly Interesting Things

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!

I hope you all enjoyed my hit-man for hire post. I'm not actually attesting to my sanity at the time of the post, because I am a rather crazy person, and remember being way too amused by it. So yeah, sorry if it scared you or anything.

Patrick is going to be the death of me, I swear! I don't think you people understand. We were talking, and I had to write poems for English. So we start swapping poems and whatnot, and that starts this conversation about how we want to be famous. That, in turn, turned into a talk about death. Oh, my god. That kid is so depressing. And so damn smart and emotional and passionate and... like I said, the end of me. He starts going on about what happens when we die, and whether or not there's a heaven, and what happens if we screw up life. So I start telling him my RENT philosophy about living life to its fullest and making every day count, and he's like, what happens if we just disappear? I can't love and write without my existence! Oh, my God. I thought I was going to die. I just lost it. Totally lost it and left. I went upstairs and sat in my bed for a while and wrote this hella depressing poem, which I shall post at a later date. I'm going to do a poetry post. But anyway, I did that and cried myself to sleep. And then I had this terrible dream that he died, and woke up crying. It was not good. In fact, it was quite terrible! And now I can't stop thinking about stuff like death. It's killing me! Killing me, I tell you!

Speaking of killing, my feet are killing me. I just wore the Narnia Night gold stilettoes for like 4 hours for the new Strategy Pictures film (visit the Strategy pictures site). They're doing a spoof of National Treasure; National Treasure 3: Case of the Missing Lipstick, or something along those lines. It's highly entertaining. I'm Britney. You can guess what sort of character I am. That's right, the blond bimbo. And boy, do I look like a prostitute in costume! It's impressive, really. It should be an entertaining movie. 

Hmmm, OOOOHHHHH! Kik is back from Europe. Let's see, what adventures did she have? Well, she was stuck in DIA for about 12 hours, got stuck in DC for a while, where the airline put them up in a lovely hotel and gave them a tour, and then passed out in an Austrian airport. At least her doctor had a sense of humor. While he was examining her, he told her, totally deadpan, that she wasn't pregnant. That made me laugh. Then she taught her friend two German phrases: "Hello," and "Come away with me!" So she and her friend wandered through the streets of Austria and Germany and her friend called out "Hello, come away with me!" to all the cute German and Austrian boys. Sounds like fun! :D And also a drunk Italian pinched her butt. There's a story, eh? Yeah, but I'm frigging jealous of that trip!

Okey dokey. That's all for now, folks!

Hit-man For Hire

Hey! Does anyone out there need a hit-man? Because I am putting myself out there as a hit-man. Why? You will ask. Why is such a lovely girl hiring herself out as a hit-man? Or woman, as it were. Because I need money to fund my impending gaming habit. 

Impending, you ask. Yes, impending. Because I still do not actually own World of Warcraft. However, I will be purchasing it some time in the near future. And since it requires payment to keep playing, I need funding to keep that going. Hence my hiring out. So yeah, if you need a hit-man, get in contact. 

Homophobia is Stupid!!!

Hello everyone. I know this is sorta weird for me, having an actual purpose for writing. But today I do. Because it's just something that needs to be said. And I'm going to say it. If you don't agree with me, well, that's your problem, and I think you're an idiot for it. But I digress.

Today, I'm going to talk about homophobia and such. Now, if you don't know me, you're going to look at this and go, "oh, she's about to come out of the closet." I'm not. As far as I know, I'm not in the closet. But I still have feelings in this matter. And I want to talk about them. 

Basically, in the U.S, we're all about equality and freedom and individual rights. Or, at least, that's what we're supposed to stand for. For years - decades, centuries even - we've been fighting to get various groups acceptance and equality. Women's suffrage, racial equality, religious tolerance. The people of the United States have fought for all of that. Sure, there is still the occasional idiot who thinks blacks are inferior, or that women are weak and helpless. There are stupid people out there, and I'm afraid that's not going to change. However, we have accomplished a lot.  Still, there's one more group that faces hate. And it's time that that ends. Now. That group is the Gay community. Various religions condemn being gay as sacrilegious. I want to know how anyone can believe in a God, or Gods, who would condemn a person just for being different. What happened to the God who loves all his children? Frankly, I find that disgusting, a religion condemning people for being different. That seems to me to be sacrilegious. The condemning of gay marriage because it's "destroying the sanctity of marriage"? Ridiculous. Marriage is the eternal union of two people who love each other. Then there are the people who see being gay as wrong, perverted, and disgusting. How can they say that? It's love. Love cannot be wrong. Love is the only thing that is always right! The fact that a person would hate another just because he or she loves somebody of his or her own gender is terrible. There's nothing wrong with it! The worst part, though, in my humble opinion, is the fact that there are people who are against gays just because they're different. Those people who have no reason to hate gays, but choose to anyway. That is absolutely disgusting. The terrible things people say about gays is enough to make anyone sick. 

Do you people get what I'm saying? Am I getting through to you? I can only hope so. If I am getting through to you, thanks. 

I have a book for you to read if you want a beautiful story relating to this. It's called "Keeping You a Secret", by Julie Anne Peters. You'll be enthralled if  you're at all like me. I read it all in one sitting. 

If you don't agree with me, how can I get through to you? Would it help if I found a group of people who decided to make life hell for everyone who, say, played a certain sport? Or people who listened to a certain band? Would that make it penetrate your simian skulls that it's wrong to hate someone just because he or she is different?

I have a mission for those of you who are reading this. Get rid of anti-gay speech where you are. Make people stop saying things like "that's so gay", or "he's a fag" or whatnot. Do the right thing. 

Happy New Year!

Happy 2008, everyone! I hope you all had a lovely New Year's Eve. Hopefully it was slightly more exciting than mine. Of course, I was going skiing the next morning, and that involved getting up at 5:15, so I went to bet at 10. At least it was 2008 on the east coast, right? Come on, people! Work with me here!

Anyway, skiing yesterday (it was yesterday, wasn't it? The 1st.) was pretty fun. It was sooooo cold when we got there. You would not believe how cold it was. It was *drum roll please* NEGATIVE TWENTY when we got there. That, my friends, is COLD. (note the blue writing suggesting how cold it was!) So we hung out and ate muffins and Skittles and talked. Also, Paige's friend Michael met us there. But more about him later. Anyway, once it warmed up, the boys went out for a "test run," and then after a very troublesome procedure, Paige and I got out lift tickets and met up with them. We did a few runs and then hit the A Club for lunch. I love Winter Park. After lunch, we watched Zoey 101 (yeah... but there were little kids there watching, and we weren't going to change it) and various Bowl Games. And then we went on a few more runs, and then went to the Merrill's. They have a steam room! That was fun, being in a hot, steamy room with color-changing lights. Especially since it was me, Paige, Nick, Alex Port, and Marchel. AWKWARD! But it was fun. And we had a water fight with the shower head. Party. That was basically my excuse for New Years because I didn't do anything on the 31st. Which was Packy's birthday, incidentally.I adore Packy. And both Nik and Nick Sommers were trying to hook Paige and Packy up. It worked well, let me tell you. XD

Anyway, Michael! He's really tall, has green eyes (Paige was pretty excited about that), dark hair, and is a Regis boy. But he doesn't know Eric, Nick, or Curtiss. He is friends with Marshall, though. He's a football boy. And also plays long-pole D in lacrosse. He's pretty much adorable. And he boards. Which was nice, because he's kinda new at it, so he sucked about as much as I suck at skiing, so we stayed together. And Paige was totally trying to hook us up, which was okay by me. XD But then, we were watching TV at the A Club, and she kept taking up more and more room on the couch so I was all but in his lap. Not that I cared. 0.0 I'm a terrible person. But then, when we finished skiing, he asked me for my number. I of course had to have a blond moment and totally forget the last 4 digits of it. That made me feel lovely. So then Paige leans over me and mouths to him, "You like her! Ask her out!" or something along those lines. And she he was doing something, I don't remember what, his hand "dropped" and he managed to touch my butt. He was SO embarrassed. He hugged me when he left, which is more than I can say for half my friends. Yeah, and Paige talked to him last night, and he says I "have potential." Boys. 

We had a Secret Santa party at Goody's today. It was so much fun. Good food, funny friends, lots of pictures, presents. What more could you ask for? I love my friends!

Olivia and I are swapping friend pictures. It's pretty exciting, let me tell you! Okay, that's it for today.
