I SUCK AT THIS

So. HAHAHAH. Hello, dears.

I EFFING SUCK AT BLOGGING.

I love how my new years resolution was to blog more? I didn't even REMEMBER that let alone actually make it happen. I just randomly felt like blogging today. HAH. Go me.

So yeah. I've been confused about...things..lately. I want them to be cleared up, please.

Let's go over my day, yes?

I woke up in a rather good mood for going back to school for the first time in NINE DAYS (ohhh i love thee break). I was all like..awake. That never happens. So I decided it would be a good day. And it was, for the most part. YAYY. I just have a TONNNZOOo of make up work to do for missing three days of school a few weeks ago. I missed a test in every single one of my classes. What the hellz. But yeah. Good day. Then I figured I should probably make up my math test, so I went into the devil's lair (my math teachers classroom) after school to take it. I've always slightly despised her, just because she bores me to death and uses the phrase "crunch numbers" way too often. But after talking to her for five minutes, I realized she's not that bad. I just hate her as a math teacher. HAHAHAH. Mind you I hate most math teachers, math is a ghastly subject. Then I got home and took my flickr photo for today, which was rather boring and not creative at all. Then I started my massive load of APEC terms I have to do, I'm not one, but TWO chapters behind *cheers*.

Also. LAKWHDL;AWKHDGL;KSAJDG;LAWHD)#&%(*@&#%(@*^%#(
I have a volleyball tournament every weekend for the next three weeks. *stabs self*
Me and volleyball have this terrible love/hate thing going on. I don't play it because I love it, I just play it because it's part of me. I can't stop. I'ts basically an addiction. My coach gave me the whole "You keep working your ass off for the next two years and you can play at ANY college you want, you don't even realize how good you are" thing a few days ago. The thing that no one understands is that I have ZERO intention of playing volleyball in college. It's just something I don't want to do. I realized that everyone expects that I want to play college, but I just..don't. It takes up way too much of my time that I'd rather be doing other things. I don't want volleyball to be my life. Sorry.

So yeah. I should probably get back to this mound of APECing I have to do.

Peace homes.

PS--For some reason, sit-ups and brushing my teeth can always make me feel better. Hm.

Fare thee well, 2008.

To be totally and completely cliche, this year has gone by so incredibly fast. It's amazing to just think of all that's happened in these past 12 months...what kind of change has taken place. Going over these thoughts in my mind makes me think of what I was thinking last year, on December 30, 2007. Overall, I would say my 2008 has been better than my 2007. Lets ponder some highlights, shall we? First off, I had such a great volleyball season. Probably the most memorable one yet. I got incredibly close with the girls on my team, and we bonded like no other. Next off, I saw Radiohead. They definitely have the most epic live show I've ever seen--Switchfoot is a close second, of course ;] and even though I was covered in pot smoke the whole night, it was just pure glory. I would say I got a lot closer to my brothers this year, and I can say that I most likely wont at all enjoy the aspects of being an only child next year. Whatever that entails, hahaha. I grew closer to a lot of people this year, and grew further apart from others. I've truly found a spot where I belong, and where I plan on staying for a while. Life this year has been quite the journey. I've had my ups and downs, but I've always come out realizing that I'm loved and that I will never be in this alone. As I look to the future, there's of course some things I want to change, New Year's Resolutions, as you may call them. For one, I need to freaking blog more. I've neglected this thing like no other. I've also just been incredibly lazy this year, and I want to change that. Lazy in school, lazy in sports, and more importantly, lazy in my relationship with God. I want to have that desire to do better again. I want to be more involved in change.

So, here's to you, 2008. Good times.

You see that new header thing I made for my wondrous bloggin? Yeah. It used to be animated. Like, it was legit. but apparently you cant use GIF's for the thing on the top? I was extremely satisfied with the way it looked, but. HAH. Fail, it didn't work. So. You should look at the animated one, because its way cooler. Go crazy.

Yeah dude. Le-git.

I should do homework now. I have a feeling Honors Humanities is out to get me, and my little dog too. If you know what i mean.

Happy November!

Grahhhh. I'm sorry, blog. I have neglected you for too long.
I need to find more time for you. I just want you to know that
it's not you, it's me.

-------

Yes. It's November. Which means Thanksgiving month.
I love Thanksgiving. Everything about it makes me dance
with glee. Especially the leftovers at the lovely home of
Megan. :)

I saw Jason Mraz last night. So. Good. You should make a
point of seeing him live before you die. Just sayin.

Well. I should go. And holler for daylight savings time.

Enjoy your extra hour of sleep, my friends.

Laters.

Numb

Hmm. Haven't seen this thing in a while..
I'm not really sure what to write about.
Oh! So San Diego. Weather is pretty much non-existent
here. It's been SUPER hot lately. Like, quite unbearable
at times. But this morning around 6 am, I was startled
by thunder and lightning and quite the downpour. It
was weird. I opened up my window and my blinds and
just sat there for a while, just watching and thinking.
It was amazing. Real weather makes me so excited, and
makes me think about things I normally don't spend too
much time thinking about. It was nice. Hahaha. After the
rain died down, I went back to sleep, and woke up around
10, and it was typical San Diego, 90 degrees and sunny,
just a few clouds in the sky. I was super weirded out and
thought maybe I dreamed the whole thing. So yeah. I have
NO idea where that little mini storm came from, but boy, was
it nice.

Oh and meep! Gabby's birthday is tomorrow. And I love her face
very much. So you should say Happy Birthday to her and make
her cookies or something. Or give her one of those awkward
crude birthday cards. Because everyone loves those.

But love is dollar that's already spent
And love is a song that we've sung
There's war in my blood
Love ain't the tune in my lungs
-War In My Blood by Fiction Family
