The only bummer is that now I have to try and get in shape for soccer tryouts...in less than a month...after almost a year and half of nothing but PT...I shall do it anyway! I'm really excited to have the chance to be back for it. I've missed playing so much.
Since it's October, we're in full swing for the play The Man Who Came To Dinner, a comedy about a radio personality (Sheridan Whiteside) who slips on ice outside of the Stanley's home after dinner, confining him to the house and all its strange characters with a back injury. From there it gets even better, but I'm not giving anything away...we open November 5 at 7pm btw if anyone wants to come. Just go to showtix4u.com (I know, I'm a walking advertisement, but theater stuff is so much fun!).
This Sunday is the annual beach night my family and a couple of other families have together (we always do stuff with these families on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and during the year every year so they're basically just family), and it's sure to be a great experience. My two friends are bringing their guitars, and I'm going to take my little djembe drum that I got this summer for our "band." Anyway, stuff's been good so far. A fair share of depressing stuff has happened, but I'm sick of it so I'm going for optimistic. Speaking of which, a few years ago I came across a really funny quote that says, "Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back." Gotta love it.
With this I leave you
deinde tempo....

I look most forward to English and AP Bio (love the teacher and the class). It was so funny when I walked into English because Mr. Summers was his typical self and tried to scare everybody (he succeeded ) We had orals on summer reading, but I think the best thing about it is that I found out he's teaching CP 9th grade english--yes, CP. I personally think that, though he claims he's "taking one for the team," he enjoys torturing freshman haha. The other best thing is that, as payback, I scattered cotton balls on his desk (don't tell or I'll murder you, Oaks ppl!). For those of you who don't know, Mr. Summers hates them and it's kind of a joke.
Anyway, school had more tidbits, but I doubt you're interested in hearing (reading) them...
Hope your week is better than mine...

Oh, and exciting infor: I got my drum!!!!

It's on its way and I'm beginning to get really excited because it means the band is actually happening. We have about four songs written (lyrics), but only one almost completed instrumentally. It will be so amazing to see what happens with the band. Oh, and may I ask your opinion on band names? We're still brainstorming, but we know we want "anthem" in it. Right now two proposed names are "A New Anthem" and "The Dying Anthem." Please please PLEASE let me know if you have any ideas...I won't reject any (unless they're from jenna...jk I love you).

Weird Discoveries:
I've said it before, but my two friends decided they want to start a band with the three of us. They nominated me to write a song (the attempt is currently posted). Little did I know that last week at a movie night we had (and have every year) they would analyze it, scrutinize it, and show it off. I was very nervous about that....especially since it was the first song I've ever written. Anyway, it ended up being a really fun night. the movie Rat Race is hilarious. You should watch it.
The weirdest thing I discovered, however, is the fact that it is impossible for me not to take notes on school stuff. I was working on some ap bio work and told myself I would only take notes on what I needed to write my FRQ. I was wrong. I lasted about five pages (if that much) before I could go no longer. I promptly sprang up, gathered paper and a pen, and jostled down notes. I cannot not take notes. IT's a very sad conviction.
Sister yelling for (at?) me. See ya!

I'm starting to get rather bored just sitting around though, which is a huge bummer. I guess I'll continue my schoolwork for now. I was planning on watching the videotape of the surgery to see what my doctor did, but unfortunately it didn't work and there was only snow when I tried to view it. He smoothed my cartilage, but he also did something to these bands I still had in my knee that are supposed to go away when I'm younger. i go back to the doctor in nine days so he can check up on me and get me started on physical therapy (pain!).
Amid all this my sister's birthday was Friday. She ended up shopping with my mom for a bit before coming home, and we all relaxed at home before going to dinner at Macaroni Grill. As always, it was quite tasty. Her big present was going back to Seattle to see her college friends and spending time with them. She comes back Wednesday.
That's my news. Hope you're all doing well!

My pre-op appointment is the 16th at 2:40. Yeah so that's basically my big news.
It's been great the few times I've been able to hang out with my friends so far, and I'm still working on the whole job thing, but it's hard since no one is hiring right now.
I can't believe I almost forgot to mention that I received my AP score today! I was so nervous that I kept checking the mail every five minutes once I heard my friends received their scores. I'm happy with my score (especially after all the stress and sleepless nights I spent on that class). It's what I expected. I only wish I could see what I got on the FRQ, DBQ, and multiple choice, but it doesn't really matter. I'm just happy it's completely over. Now for next year...


It's all good, and in the words of Rise Against, "Swing life away."

I usually run into friends and people I haven't seen before, but the second best thing about the event is the cake. July 3rd is also my mom's birthday, so we take the cake with us and enjoy it in the park. yesterday I spent the morning making the cake and frosting (from scratch). We call it crazy chocolate cake. It was fun
In other news, the surgery that I thought I was going to have and ended up not having is now a certain thing. I am not allowed to partake in any more cross country practices until I have the surgery, so I've resolved myself to riding my bike for exercise instead. Yay for unpredictable summers.
Until next time...

P.S. It was really funny because when I went through the drive through at In-N-Out this guy recognized us from when we went for the first time since my sister was back in California and she was really excited (they don't have In-N-Out in Seattle). I was laughing

And if I don't, let's hope it's because I found a job.
Oh, and can you believe my sister just saw the first transformers movie for the first time? How ridiculous is that?

Enjoy summer! There's only one a year

I hope to have something more exciting to talk about next time. I was just sick of my old journal.

Yay writing!

We're going to have a blast. It's game show themed so we're technically leading Price is Right 1st grade. I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen, but I know it'll be a ton of fun to be with my friend, especially since I have at least two other friends working at vbs, too (they're working with 2nd grade).
To change topics...this year and this week I've done a lot of thinking (some welcome and some not so welcome), and I realized that what we hear ourselves say in the silence, in the smallest corners of our mind, in our dreams (hehe Jenna gets this part ) is what we know is true but don't want to accept, or can't accept, for various reasons. This is completely random, but i think every once in a while everyone needs to just sit and think...

I'm so looking forward to summer and can't wait! I'm kickin' it off with a KH2 party with pony and poingy ferret, and then a party Saturday. I love summer!!!!!!!! Unfortunately I leave Tuesday, but it's to go pick up my sister in Seattle, so who knows what will happen (especially since I'm spending a night and morning with her in her dorm just the two of us...we're not to be trusted...). Anyway, summer will pretty much ROCK!

YAY SUMMER!!!!!

In other news, I got a tracking MRI yesterday (finally), and now get to wait until an appointment to find out what's happening with my summer because my knee condition basically dictates my summer activities. If I have to get surgery the MRI will hopefully tell the doctor what surgery I need, and if I don't have to have surgery it'll hopefully tell the doctor what is actually causing problems so we can fix it. I'm holding out for the best.

Good luck with finals (you know who you are)!
Oh, and we have to have our end of the year party-thing

Last night I took part in the most amazing kidnapping ever. Myself, some others who are awesome ninjas, and our Persian terrorist leader banded together to kidnap two friends yesterday. Clues to what was going to take place led them to a certain spot where we surrounded them. Obviously, we then seized the opportunity by attacking and putting a pillowcase over each of their heads while trying to shove them into a car. The rest is history...

I just found out from my friend today that a group of them are filming a video about the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius tomorrow afternoon. This may sound boring, but it's not. You see, we translated it in Latin class and, in doing so, have many jokes regarding what people did, thought, and how things were described (like a pine tree shaped cloud of ash and people putting pillows on their heads to protect themselves form flying, flaming rocks). Anyway, it'll basically be the funniest thing ever. The best part is we're going to watch it in class when it's finished (they're doing it because my friend has to do a video for his film class). I'm so looking forward to it.

Oh, and CIF boys volleyball game at Oaks at &m Tuesday!

Peace out

I chose vicodin because I will most likely be on it if I end up getting surgery so I figured I might as well know about it.
In other news I have been having tons of problems with home and my dad. I just really don't like being at home or around my dad, but particularly at home when I have to be around him. I'm fine if I'm in my room or something, but other than that I just really don't like being at home. Is that weird? I'm also veeerrrryyy annoyed because my dad always makes these extremely hypocritical remarks, yells at me for no reason, and makes me feel like I want to crash his car when I'm driving just for the sake of crashing something of his. I've felt like this for a while, but it's gotten even worse since my sister left and he tries to get used to only one daughter and the change at work. It makes everything more difficult. Anyway, enough boring stuff.
Sorry this is very sporadic this time around...I'm kinda in that mood

School has been a bit better friend-wise also, and I've gotten to spend some more time with theater people because i worked the Middle School production of Seussical the Musical (which, btw, really gets on my nerves because everyone starts rhyming and singing in rhyme...it's almost nauseating after a while). So that was fun.
Sunday, since it's Mother's Day, I'm singing in church with my mom. We had planned to try and go to Seattle and spend the weekend with my sister so it was the three of us, but since my ap test is in the afternoon Friday and money is tight we unfortunately can't. Singing will be fun, though, and we'll still have a good time.
I was sooo excited because I actually got to just sit and write for about two hours Sunday! I haven't had time to do that in a good while, so it was sooo much fun to finally write...I didn't want to stop!
That's all my exciting news...after Friday my life will become much more interesting because it won't revolve around ap, so stay tuned

Other good news: I didn't mess up my scene. I love everybody involved and I'm sooooo excited for it again tonight! The only bummer is that we have a show at 2pm and another at 7pm so it's going to be a long but fun night. Unfortunately I won't be able to go out afterward either because my sister is going home this afternoon (while I'm at the matinee show, of course)so my mom will be a wreck and clobber me with "love." She always gets in such a down mood when Sarah leaves to go back to school. Little does she know Sarah will be back in about two weeks to surprise my parents at Easter! So yeah basically if you live in the Thousand Oaks-ish area in California, go to Oaks, or know someone who goes to Oaks you should come see Thoroughly Modern Millie either today/tonight at 2 or 7, or next Thursday, Friday,or Saturday at 7pm. You won't regret it (and yes, I'm advertising).
Have an awesome week (even though it can't be as awesome as the show). Oh and Alfie, don't kill anyone or brain wash anyone...I know it's hard for you And everyone else needs to hide the cats from her, too
Ok that's all I have time to say, so I'll be back to brag about Millie more and talk about the stupidities of school later.

Rehearsals are going to get longer, and I'll have to finish homework, so I probably won't have time to come on, but I'll do my best. I found out this weekend that my friend who is in a performance of Grease at her school (the musical) has also been rehearsing. The bummer is that the shows are on the exact same nights at the exact same times so I won't be able to see her Either way it will be fun. The craziness of the play is always bittersweet because once it's over everyone is sad--but it also means we get sleep

The show is going GREAT though, and we are wayyyy ahead of schedule, so it's even better since we'll have more time to nitpick, etc.

I discovered, however, that it isn't so bad. Yes, it's not the best situation, but it's not horrible either. My friends who are also working the Dance Concert at school (which is super good) helped me a lot. They are so loving, and I was able to talk to someone who I know understands what I've been going through. She helped me a lot, and made me realize that though it's heartbreaking, sometimes things happen with friends and friendships that I have no control over, and all I can do is get up and move on but still be there. The same applies to my history group. It's no tthe best, but all I can do is move on and take it one step at a time. It leaves me the chance to lead and define a stronger group. There is no way I should feel this calm about everything now, but I know it's because God has surrounded me with these people who care for me and want to help me. Without them all I would still be thinking about these things and dwelling on them in misery. It's true that God is awesome and can do anything. Without Him surrounding me with the love and help of my friends I know that I would be overwhelmed with everything because when I think of the drama and everything that happened I still get a faint flutter of anxiety and loss, but it is calmed sufficiently and doesn't overwhelm me anymore. Things will still be hard, but I have new strength and resolution.

Unfortunately this weekend is also the weekend of Winter Formal for my school XP I am so glad I'm not going. I might end up going to broomball tomorrow night with my church high school group, though. Supposedly there are prizes for whoever dresses the tackiest...I might only end up being a ref because of my knees, but either way it'd be waaaayyyy more fun than Winter Formal. My friends and I are having our own little party next weekend instead and I guarantee it'll be at least ten times better than the dance.

So this weekend will be fun and better than last weekend and week. Yay!

Still having some issues, but trying to work through them.

Have a fantastic weekend/week.

The first is that I found out I don't have to have surgery (at least for 5-6 weeks)!I went to a doctor my trainer and coach recommended and he wants me to do physical therapy for a month, get orthodics, and he gave me new knee braces. Needless to say, I'm happy about that. I'm also happy because today was symposiumat school, which meant no classes. I'd love to stay and write more, but I'm being kicked off because my mom has to use the computer.

Perhaps it's a good thing I havent' been at school, though, because apparantly some extremely annoying and unnecessary drama popped up that I don't really think is that hard to solve. At least I haven't had to put up with that while I'm sick...
(please resolve, you guys, whether for good or bad).

I think I had the most fun Sunday after church...I went to Barnes and Noble with my friends. We talked, had coffee, and hung out. It was a great change of pace and very relaxing. Even better, after they left I used all but $5.46 of $57.66 of my gift cards there. It was awesome...I got tons of books and just finished Jane Eyre yesterday. It was alright...I was expecting much worse.

A new year approaches as this one ends. Looking back it's been a year of growth. There have been changes with my sister going to college, milestones with me obtaining my permit and being able to drive, and personal growth. There were some rocky times that were difficult and created unwanted drama, but I think in the end they helped me as a person. At the same time I've had to make some tough choices about my athletic life, having to give up club soccer and trying to work through my knee injuries and asthma. This is especially difficult because for so long part of who I am has been sports (soccer), and now I have to trust God that He knows what's best and has a plan for me. All I can do is trust in Him.

Even though some stuff this year has been immensely stressful and dramatic, it's also been a fun year with my friends. Some of you (you know who you are) introduced me to the game Kingdom Hearts 2 and now we have a blast playing it together and you enjoy mocking my ignorance of it . I've become closer to my friends who I've known forever, and I've been able to keep in touch with a couple of my really good friends who either moved away or go to a different school now. This year has given me some fantastic memories, especially watching the Euro 2008 tournament when on vacation in Hawaii. SCHWEINSTEIGER!!!(German player)

A new year is a new slate, clean and untainted, for everyone to make of it what they will. Here's to a new year!

I have aquiet, subdued Christmas this year. My mom has to work so we're opening presents and everything after she gets home in the afternoon. My cousin is back from Portland after having to spend a couple days in teh airport there, and it was nice to see her. My family is going to my aunt's house next week sometime to celebrate Christmas with them. Usually we go over Christmas night, but they have plans. Instead I'm having a small family dinner and quiet Christmas...and I'm watching the movie White Christmas because it's the best Christmas movie there is.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

However, the approach of Christmas means finals I'm not very happy about that any time, but everything else is better. My friend will get her cast off, I'll be done with some of the hardest stuff for AP Euro, and a bunch of my friends have birthdays this month (happy Birthday to you!).
To keep you updated with my life, I just recently got an MRI of my left knee because my doctor says he knows for sure that I tore the superficial (thin outside) layer of my MCL, but he wanted to insure it wasn't anything worse. Unfortunately that means I can't play soccer for about 2 weeks However, I can't wait to get back in the game. It's left me a bit conflicted about my future pertaining to sports, but I'm super excited aobut playing this season.
I hope you all have a stress-free December and enjoy yoursleves!!!

I had a fun time hanging out, and yes, trick-or-treating, with my friends who I don't see a lot anymore because they go to a different school. I was the Phantom (yay Phantom!!!). We played this game called Bigger and Better, but people didn't seem to understand that you trade for something bigger and better, so we kept acquiring things. It was fun to hang out with my friends, and then of course I had an embarrassing moment when I went ot open a 2 liter bottle of 7up and it squirted everywhere...yeah that was fun
On a different note, now that it's getting close to showtime for A Midsummer Night's Dream at my school (2 weeks away form opening night!), I won't be able to come on for a while. I know it seems like I'm always saying that, but it's mainly just for updating my journal. Somehow I still manage to respond to comments, etc. Anyway, I'll basically be living at school for the next few weeks, and rehersals start going longer Monday; all next week rehersals go until 8pm, and possibly longer for me since I'm crew and we have tech rehersals (which are just so much fun) that will take forever, but hopefully not. That means I'll be combating my time between rehersal and homework, which leaves little or no time for dA unfortunately. However, the play is going to be fantastic and it's definitely worth it.

Hope you guys all have an awesome next few weeks, and if for some strange reason I can't update my journal until then, which is highly unlikely but possible, Happy Thanksgiving as well.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blesseda re the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you becasue of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:3-12

Anyway, this week is going to be much better. Friday is Hallowen, and I'm going to hang out with one of my good friends who doesn't go to my school anymore, and another who I've known since first grade. However, before moving on to Halloween, tonight I"m going to Fright Fest at Magic Moutnain for the first time. I don't really know what to expect, so I'll tell you all after. Getting in the Halloween spirit . Friday is going to be so much fun, though. In honor of my sister, I am going to make a shout out to T.O. High, who has a Halloween Homecoming this year. (Don't try figuring it out...you won't).
Right, well life is ok at the moment. It's not too overwhelming or dramatic. The stress level this year is almost a shadowing personage accompanying me everywhere, so I'm getting used to it. Apart form that, the play at my school is giong to be incredible. I know this because I'm the assistant stage manager. The play is Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and the cast is great. In the play we actually have a first. The stage is equipped with a fly rigging system, but this production is the first in which it will be used. It was exciting to build it, and the person is so light who is flying that there is a superflous counterweight. It's so much fun to work on.

All of you have a fantastic week and Halloween!

Actually, today I was in Latin class and the fire alarm went off because smoke had found its way into the vents. It was a bummer bwecause we had to wait outside in the smoke-filled air for almost forty-five minutes. It was okay, though. We were allowed in and the schedule was changed, etc.

Wednesday is a bittersweet day. I have to take the PSAT at school, which is always a bundle of joy, but the good news is I have a half day. Yay for testing???
Besides all that, this week and this weekend is crazy. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I have to go to this College Knowledge thing at school, but at least I can't get homework assigned . Friday is a football game, so I'll be at the away game (Go Lions!. Saturday I'm going to San Diego to see my nieces play soccer, and also to see family. It's going ot be a crazy day of driving there and back. I'm really excited for Sunday because I have a soccer game, but then my family is going to Faulkner Farms Pumpkin Patch with other families that we've known since before I was born. It's super fun and a tradition, so I'll ignore any retorts against the pumpkin patch because it rocks. The day all of us kids can't fit in the wheelbarrow is the day we're old, and that has yet to happen.

Hope you all have a fantastic week. Keep your heads on straight.


I finished reading Inkdeath Saturday and it was AMAZING!!! Buy it. Read it. Or I'll find you and kill you.

The freshman had 150 points and we all had 400. I guess that my class will get second or third. For sure our downfall is the float, but whatever. We had fun and were much more lively this year. Tonight is the Homecoming dance, but I am not going. yes,, I said I'm not going, at least this year. I don't feel like it, and it's not really my idea of fun anyway. I have to go next year, though, because my friend will be a senior and she wants me to come. Even among all the stress of my schoolwork and minimal sleep during the week, Homecoming week was awesome and I hope you all have one that's just as amazing.

On the other hand, this weekend I go to Stanford for a cross country invitational that I unfortunately have to race in because I make the cut (which is good, but I haven't been feeling too good physically adn emotionally). It'll be fun to be away with the team, away from everything that's been happening at home and school, and away from worries that gnaw at me. I was told, however, by sources that everyone is always sick after this trip, so I have to be careful. I cannot afford to be sick and miss school, no matter how much I may want to. Overall I know I'll have an awesome time.

So for another sad bit of news. One of the teachers at my school was involved in the train crash last week, and he passed away a day later. It's been really hard on the family. I knew them because of cross country, and he was always a super nice guy. Please keep the family in your prayers as they continue to struggle with this.

On a lighter note, homecoming is next week! I know it's really early this year, but I'm looking forward to homecoming week. All week we have special dress days, and here's the list: Monday--superhero (where that idea came from I don't know), Tuesday--Twin Day (with a friend), Wednesday--Theme dress day(?), Thursday--School colors day (wait that's Friday...)...I forget what Thursday and Wednesday are for sure, but Friday is school colors day. And yes, Saturday is the dance, but I don't feel like going so I probably won't. It's so overrated...all my friends want me to go, but I don't know...I'm not that into it...
I guess we'll see whether I go or not.

Hope you all are doing well.

On the other hand, I'm going crazy from all the confused thoughts my mind is throwing at me about certain things in my life with friends, relationships, and family. It drives me crazy when this happens because I can't discern my own self from my heart and mind. It's confusing and utterly unbearable, which only adds more stress to the stress I have over my schoolwork and grades. Not to mention the fact that all this means I barely have time for myself anymore since I'm also running cross country and meets start next week.

Hope you have a good week.

There was, and I kid you not, a five minute wait for Jurassic Park and a ten minute wait for the Revenge of the Mummy ride. I sat in the front on Jurassic Park and got absolutely soaked, but it was fun. It was literally a wall of water. It was fun. Apart from Universal, my weekend was actually a little dull. Saturday my sister and I watched five movies, two that we ahd rented. We watched Rush Hour 3, Sydney White, Peter Pan(on Wonderful World of Disney on ABC), Men In Black II(TV), and 10 Things I Hate About You(with Heath Leger!!!). It was an entertaining night, needless to say, and I was really tired when I had to get up to go to church in the morning. After church my family went out to lunch[yay.(sarcasm)] at Applebee's and we saw Mamma Mia. The movie was ok, but not fantastic. However, I made the mistake of going to bed late again, so I was dead for practice this morning. My legs literally would not work and resisted movement by the time I was done. I am therefore going to be wiser and sleep tonight, actually sleep.
I'll try and come on one more time before I leave for running camp. See ya!

Oh, and yesterday I found a vhs copy of this really old Disney movie called Tron that my friends told me I have to watch. What's it about anyway? It's funny that I found it. Super old and stuff. haha

My knees are killing me after today's run. Note: don't do cross country with knee injuries; it's painful.
I have to get a ton of summer reading done for school, so I probably won't have time to come on. I'm not as far as I'd like to be, and I have 5 books to read with 4 assignments, one due august 15th. summer reading...agh!
Not much is new, except that today I'm super happy (for no apparant reason )
Hope your day/week is better than mine. Oh and please check out my recent deviations. I'd like your thoughts. Thanks!

Oh and I posted a new deviation that I'd like you to check out. It's called "Three Parts Empty" and I just wrote it--got the inspiration last night. Enjoy!

We took a wrong turn, but luckily it led to where we wanted to go. It was funny really. Somebody always gets lost on that trail. That was my adventure for the day.
For the rest of the day I haven't done much. I did a few chores around the house, but otherwise I've been here posting stuff, etc.
