I have sort of dreaded this post because it is difficult to write and it is impossible to capture everything with words and scattered images alone. It was better even than the New York/DC trip back in eighth grade; here I was surrounded by friends who I have trusted for years and would not trade for the world. Since a week has passed, I'm sure there will be some details that are disjointed or just plain wrong, but I'm hoping that all of the pictures we've taken will help move things along. I'm starting with ... way too much backstory, I know, but I'm documenting everything! So I hope this isn't too hard to read and that everyone enjoys this. If there are questions, please don't hesitate to ask! :3

( AX '09: the beginning )
( DAY 0 )
( DAY 1 )
( DAY 2 )
( DAY 3 )
( DAY 4 )

I didn't catch a break even after getting home, though. After a little dinner, Mom dragged me off to go watch fireworks since we missed it on the 4th. We set them off on the beach with a group of about ten, and failed miserably at starting a fire for smores. When I did get back from that, I didn't even bother showering. I washed my face, soaked my feet, and that was that. But it was so disappointing to realize after getting home that I missed meeting up with Renee. We didn't know we would both be there!

So um ... that's it, folks! I didn't know how to start this and I don't know how to end it, other than stating again that this was one of the most amazing weekends I've ever had. I miss everyone so much and cannot wait for our next meet-up. I don't care what it takes, I will make it anywhere. <3

<b>1) Who are you?</b> <b>2) Are we friends?</b> <b>3) When and how did we meet?</b> <b>4) Give me a nickname and explain why.</b> <b>5) Describe me in 1 word.</b> <b>6) What was your first impression of me?</b> <b>7) Do you still think the same?</b> <b>8) What reminds you of me?</b> <b>9) If you could give me anything, what would it be?</b> <b>10) How well do you know me?</b> <b>11) Are you gonna put this in your journal and see what I say about you?</b> <b>12) Would you meet up with me?</b>

NOW I sleep. XD

I am in the middle of writing that AX post and it is ridiculous. SO long and I have not even started day two yet. the most eventful one! I've been working on it for over an hour so I will take a break and continue tomorrow today, but I promise it is coming. XD

It is so nice here. I can't remember how this started, but it is tradition for me to spend Sunday nights at my mom's house. I've missed it just once this year. This time, both my sister and our grandma are spending the night at someone else's house. This means no fighting, no screaming, no running around, just .. none of that junk. *_* I also do not have to worry about taking care of the dogs or being smothered in the middle of the night. I love them but things are hectic with Buster. I have a bunch of scrapes and cuts just from him being a rambunctious creature with sharp teeth and nails that need trimming. XD

So on that note I am gonna go to sleep. I kinda feel lame but I don't care. I can chat until dawn some other night. <3

THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THESE LITTLE BOXES SAY? If the context matters, it's a site with a bunch of different hairstyles and these are used to describe what they do/don't work well with. The pages are all like this~ I know there are more on the site but having at least some of them would be awesome!


Uh ... I've been watching What Not To Wear and Dress Me Up, which sucks because I want a makeover and new clothes so bad. The last time I went on a shopping spree was ... before entering high school, so at least three years. The only new clothes I've gotten since then is softball apparel that is included in our softball fees and a few tops from when Mervyns went out of business. I have some hand-me-down jeans from my mother's friends and I appreciate that a lot, but ... I dunno. Sometimes I do have a little bit ($20-ish) to spare, but even when I try to find a nice dress or something I just can't do it. I would need to win a shopping spree before I felt comfortable wasting money on myself. XD It's just, I've lost about seventy pounds since then and everything is so big and unflattering and conservative. The one thing I will change, though, is my hair. I haven't done anything since cutting it all off in January, and maybe I should wait for some more length but ... I'm impatient. SO YEAH.

( there are worse problems to have, but... )

Well, at any rate, life is still hectic despite the last day of school being here tomorrow.
Summer softball is supposed to start Monday but I am not playing until next school year after missing this entire season... I never updated about this, but it turned out to be a torn ACL and I still need several weeks of physical therapy from the hospital.
I am supposed to be off to AX next month to meet up with Sekai no Melody peeps for the first time EVER in real life, but have no idea how this is all supposed to work. GRR. D:

The plus side to all of this is that I decided, despite how terrified I am of auditions and rejection, to try out for our school's advanced choir. And the results were posted today .. AND I AM IN. I'll be dropping one of my APs for that so I'll only have four, not five. YAY ME. 8D

HEY

HEY GUYS

IT'S MY SKIT

I AM GOING TO BE A RABID, MURDEROUS DOG. /re-enacting chapter 18 of Their Eyes Were Watching God

UH APUSH TEST TOMORROW FOLLOWED BY GAME AGAINST LEUZINGER. FUN TIMES. also: picture day at the beach today but I cannot afford even the cheapest, $12 set. I'm just hoping that everyone gets a team picture regardless. D:

Ask me a question and I will tell you no lies.

Ask me anything. Ask me about my life, about how my day was, about what I like to do on my spare time. No matter how personal, I will answer. Or maybe you don't have a question. Maybe there is something you've been wanting to tell me for a long time but never had the courage to. Maybe you secretly hate me or love me or wish we were closer. This is the place to tell me.

Anon is enabled if you so choose to use it.

/GOES TO SLEEP FOREVER ... after finishing this week's episode of Batman

HELL YES WE BEAT PENINSULA ON THEIR HOME TURF. Their school has been the sole competition for the Bay League championship for the past .. oh, five or so years. We're now tied for first with PV, who we've beaten before and can beat again. We should be in first alone, but we lost to Costa last week with like ... five errors. We were awful that game. D:

BUT YES. Sometimes I think about quitting, like I have since freshman year, but then I realize it would be too impossible. XD

IF I WERE A BETTER STUDENT, HOMEWORK WOULD NOT BE STARTED AT 4:24 IN THE MORNING.

But that's okay as long as it gets done. I'm just crashing as soon as I get home. XD
