Mmmm... Whoppers... =)

just finished the longest practice ever. tomorrow's the pep rally and we were practicing in the LGI room for like an hour and a half. and then we had to spend two hours cutting out and making decorations for the football players' lockers. the LGI was soooo hot and we were sweating and everyone was exhausted. ohmygosh by the end of practice i wanted to take the scissors and end my misery.

i was getting so pissed during practice bc i was srsly standing on the side the entire time. just me. everyone was doing the lift and i was on the side just standing there bc no one gave me anything to do for the routine. i hate how the seniors dont incorporate everybody in the lifts. it's so annoying, it makes me feel like i'm not good at anything so they just stick me on the side. ugh, whatever.

i was so upset after school because i wanted to go to burger king with nicole! it was raining though, and my dad wouldnt let me go =( i wanted a whopper so badly! i still do! haha, i hate those serious cravings you get for that one type of food. like you need THAT food and nothing else. i really wish that i could eat whatever i want and not gain any weight at all. some people are like that, and they are sooo lucky! i reaaallly want a whopper and fries right now. with zesty sauce.

ANGELINA! YOU HAVE ENOUGH KIDS! PUT HIM BACK!

have you ever noticed that there are certain parts in cartoons that are perfect for still shots and putting funny texts next to them? hahahaha i just found pictures from spongebob. i love them <3 but this is my favorite.

i'm trying to mix songs for mrs bramble's book club thingy. she told us that we could bring in CDs if we wanted to because she wants us to feel comfortable. she said we could even bring a pillow hahahaa

for some reason lately, i've just been getting this vibe that everybody is fake. like srsly, everyone talks about everyone and then people get mad when they hear that someone said something bad about them. i'm not complaining, bc i do talk about people, i'm not denying it haha. but it makes you really question whether or not people are forreal or if they're just acting like they like you. it srsly bothers me that i basically have to be careful who i trust. bc at my school pretty much EVERYBODY is fake. like everybody. everyone talks about everyone, even if they dont know who they're talking about haha. the only people who i really trust at my school is nicole, melissa, brittany, and devon. no one else <3

Wanna Have A Social Life Again =(

i cant believe how much homework i had this weekend. i literally did NOTHING last weekend except study and do deliman homework. and i watched pride & prejudice, but that was like right after i finished everything. oh, and i went to church haha =) but i'm so sick of not being able to be with my friends when i want to. i wanna be able to go places on friday nights again, but i cant because i have all this crap to finish. and i know i have to finish work first otherwise i wont hear the end of it from my mother =P

speaking of my mother, she's not speaking to me because she's mad at me because she caught my cold. yeah, i know. she's just... you know, nuts. she's like "YOU GAVE ME YOUR COLD!" it's fine with me though. if she was healthy i'd have to talk to her =D

♫ if we were a movie, you'd be the right guy. and i'd be the bestfriend that you'd fall in love with ♫ hahahaa these two girls, peyton & jessica, were singing that the whole time on the bus when we were driving back from an away game for cheerleading.

i still dont know what i wanna be for halloween. i actually dont know if i'm doing halloween this year. my family probably wont let me anyway because they dont really like halloween. i remember when i was little i hated halloween because i hated dressing up and going out in public haha. i was scared people would laugh at me lol

PS. my extremely talented sister carved the pumpkin in the picture <3

DINKLEBERG...

good news! i'm not sick anymore! well almost. i'm still kinda coughy, but most of my cold is gone =) finally.

nicole and i have this new insider now. it's like hilarious. i love it. most people would probably be like "that's not even funny..." but it is! hahahaha i dont even know why it's funny, but it just is. it comes from the fairly odd parents, when mr. turner is constantly hating on his neighbor, mr. dinkleberg. ahahahah i love it <3

i'm so excited for this book club i joined. wow, i just realized how dorky that sounded lol. but my social studies teacher, mrs bramble, started this book club thingy for 6 freshman girls (like me!) to join and we'd read classics like pride and prejudice<3 and that's what we started on wednesday. it's every wednesday till like 4 PM. we already read the first 4 chapters. it's so funny bc i'm reading with a group of my friends, and it's alottt better than reading it in a class with other people who you might not necessarily like... *coughcough*

ooh! and for cheerleading, i'm decorating football players' lockers! tonight we got to choose which lockers to decorate, and i chose elijah... and this other kid i dont remember. at my school, before the pep rally, each cheerleader picks a football player or football players to decorate their locker. and we're gonna decorate it with footballs and paw prints and it's gonna be so fun! and then for spirit week i'm gonna help the 10th graders decorate their hall! yeaaah.. (=

I'm So Tired of Being Sick!

acck! sneezy and coughy and phlegmy is such a digusting combination. i wasnt this sick last week and then suddenly over the weekend i got all congested and gross. this week's gonna SUCK.

my dad made me stay home today from school. i wanted to go despite my sneezing, because i wanted to see nicole! i havent seen her in days! and i know that i probably missed so much work in deliman today. i probably have a project due tomorrow hahaa. i still have to work on my literary analysis... crap.

ugh, i cannot wait until this cold passes. i hate being sick so much. it's so stupid how once you get a certain illness, you're immune to it from then on, but there are like 60 types of cold viruses that do the exact same thing: sneezy, mucusy etc. and so you get sick with the cold like 50 billion times in your whole life. it's so annoying. i hate getting sick! i'm like srsly so frustrated right now. i hate staying home sick too. because my dad stays with me and he never lets me do anything. he always makes me stay in bed and sleep. all day. i'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but he doesnt even let me up to pee! i'll be walking around in the kitchen to get a glass of water and he'll be like "get back to bed and rest!" it's soo annoying!

HE'S NOT EVEN SPANISH!

blaaah. i gotta sore throat. well it's not really SORE, but it feels funny and it makes me wanna cough =( i hate being sick. i have a football game tonight too. i dont think i'm gonna cheer tho. i mean, i'll cheer but i'll just mouth the words haha bc that would really screw up my voice. yesterday my voice was terrible. i sounded like an old man. like old man jenkins from spongebob. but then my mom bought me 2 packs of those halls strawberry throat drops, and now my voice is soo much better.

today i wanted to kick my spanish teacher in the ovaries. i was sittin next to nicole, and he was playing "millionaire". that's what he calls it, anyway. but he was only talking to one student at a time and ignoring everyone else. so nicole and i just start chatting. we're not talking loudly though, just whispering. and mr cylinder's like "NO TALKING!" so we stop. and then we started passing notes to each other since he didnt want us to talk. then at the end of class he taps me on the shoulder and he's like "i saw that. no more passing notes." wth?! when we're talking we get in trouble, and then when we're quiet we get in trouble. wth do you want, man? he's soo annoying. he's not even spanish! he's pasty white and he's got a gray afro with a monk-like bald spot on his head.

the other day i got a weird message on facebook from this guy i used to go out with. he moved to kentucky a year ago, and we havent talked since then. in person, anyway. on facebook, talking to him is annoying because all he says is "sup" it's so aggravating. anyway he was the one who broke up with me, but then the other day i get a message from him and it's like "miss you alot <3" and i'm not exaggerating. the heart was in there too. i read it and i was like "what the heck?" bc he was the one who made me look like an idiot when he broke up with me and then he's messaging me stuff like that. but even though i'm over him, i still have that sort of feeling whenever i see him or talk to him, you know? idk. but it's annoying how he's always chatting me, poking me, and messaging me on facebook when HE broke up with me and even though he always said he wanted to be friends, he never talked to me. i'm still nice to him of course, but srsly? someone probably hacked his account and did that, like his brother or something, bc that's happened to me before. but still i'm like "what if that was really him?" nicole told me that he was supposed to come back, but i havent seen him. i dont think i'd really care if he came back or not. truth is though, if that really was him and he asks me out again or something, i'm not saying yes. that was a mistake the last time that happened. i was far too young and i wasnt ready for that kind of thing. and i still dont think i am now, even though it's been over a year.

PS. happy first day of october!

I Should Probably Be Sleeping...

mmkay, so if you've read my blog before you've probably read the one where i talk about my friend from church, kyra. and remember how i said before that i have some pretty good times with her and that she's one of my best friends? yeah. well i forgot to mention some things about her... (let me just say that i still love her like a sister, but sometimes i just wanna pop her little head off!)

so today after church, like usual, i went over to her house until around 8 PM. we did the usual thing, you know, play tanks, watch tv, cook etc. but ugggh! she's so childish! at church she's constantly interfering. we have this arrangement with the church where i watch the nursery kids on the even dates, and she watches them on the odd dates. every time i'm watching them, she's always coming back and saying "i came back to blow my nose" or "i had a headache.." agggh! it's so annoying! she's using that as an excuse to get out of church service. i know why. it's cuz she thinks it's boring. welll... suck it up! and even her parents always make excuses for her. it's her mom, really. every time she acts like this she blames it on what she calls the "only-child syndrome". are you kidding me? that worked when she was like 9, but 13? please. and she thinks she's like super special or something. i know that sounds mean, but i really dont know how else to describe it. she's always trying to show me up in front of people and like bragging to me how she has a "job". yeah, i dont think it counts when you're paid in cash by your mother for vacuuming a carpet in the church every sunday. like no offense to her, but if she actually considers that a real job and she puts her mother in the references section of her resume, her employer is going to laugh at her. and since her family is like super christian, they wont even let kyra listen to any other genre of music except christian contemporary. and she's always making me listen to it with her for HOURS. i have nothing against christian contemporary, i love it. but i dont wanna listen to it 24/7. i'm not allowed to listen to my music when i go on trips with her because it's "bad". and i'm sorry, but the way her parents discipline her is kind of pathetic. and it's not helping her grow, in any way, at all. and the fact that her two grandparents live with her and buy her anything she wants is not helping either.

i'm not saying i dont like kyra. but... she can just be really really obnoxious. she can be fun, she has her moments. but the thing that bothers me about her the most is that she's soooo immature. she's only one year younger than me and she watches like a billion of those anime crap shows and something "angel wars" or some type of crap like that. she calls herself an "anime-ist" bc she draws alott of anime characters that she makes up herself. i'm sorry, but i HATE ANIME. hate it. and earlier when we were going up the stairs she was huffing and panting and i was like "we gotta get you into some sports girl!" and she was like "i do sports! every tuesday i go to kids sports. we do jump rope, hopscotch..." are you kidding me? hop scotch? and everything has to be done for her. she's like that bc her mom is always insisting that she does everything for her. she packs her suitcase for her, makes her all her meals for her, she even homeschools her instead of sending her to public school which would give her social skills instead of keeping her unexposed to the real world like a freaking penguin stuck in a snow globe.

alright, i'm gonna stop now bc i dont want you to think that i hate her bc i dont. i just had to type that in a blog bc this was really bothering me and now.. there you go!

I Love This Giraffe!

la dee da dee daah...

so it's 12:13 right now and i'm still doing my honors english homework. FML. ugh, mrs. deliman has just taken over my life! i have like no time to hang out with my friends anymore because i'm always stuck doing her homework and other crap. i'm so tired too, i just wanna sleep and sleep sleep... and right now i just wanna run away to somewhere, anywhere's fine with me, and dont come back. atleast not for a while anyway.

eewww.. i got this mosquito bite on my leg, and idk why but i scratched it once and it just like burst open. i know...! it's sooo gross. dont you usually have to scratch it like alottt for that to happen? i only scratched it once, and really lightly too! and it's soo nasty.. sorry, but i.. i just had to share that hahaa

okay so lately i have been having an obsession with photography. i love going on photobucket and just looking at photography. but i hate it when people just post themselves into the "best of photography" section, as if they're cool or something. i like the interesting pictures. like on my bestie's tumblr, she always has alott of cool pictures. i found one picture that i like. REALLY LIKE actually. it's my favorite out of my entire photography folder. it's a giraffe, but it's really up-close and interesting =)

Any Ideas For A New Nail Design?

today was funn =)

on my way back to my locker from lunch, nicole grabs my arm from behind and i didnt know it was her. so i thought that i was about to get raped or something hahah and the whole way to spanish she was laughing at me ahahaha =D then in science, this guy who sits behind me grabs my hand and looked at my zebra nails and he was like "daaayum giirl! them sh*ts are hott!" HAHAHAHAHAHA. plus for lunch today, i had chicken & broccoli with some snow peas and pork. and i had some wonton soup<3 this morning i actually woke up and i was like "it cant honestly still be september..." but today was actually funny loll. but srsly, i just want september to be over and done with!

i'm finished all my homework, and so i'm sitting here listening to lullabies. i dont know why but i really LOVE them. they're so relaxing and sweet. and i love the two christmas songs sung by becky jean williams. her voice makes all the difference (= and for some reason, lately i've been constantly listening to love the way you lie. i really like the chorus and the last verse. while i'm bored at school i sing it in my head ahahaa.

i'm trying to think of another nail design to try. i kinda wanna do another animal print one, but i'm not sure. i wanna try something fun. like a pink cheetah print? i probably cant do that tho hahaa too hard. but i'm really loving my zebra nails =D i wanna paint other people's nails. all i've done are my own, i've never painted other people's nails =(

Do Your Best & Guess =)

alright, so i'm gonna tell you about someone. let's see if you can guess who it is =)

she's pretty much been there for me through thick and through thin. when i couldnt possibly stand my parents for another second, she was there. when my cat died, she was there. when my dog who i've had all my life died, she was there. when all i wanted to do was curl up into a ball & cry because i hated my life, she was there. we started a notebook. we would exchange it at school every day and write a diary entry in it every night talking about our innermost feelings and desires hahaa. and we would add funny drawings, quotes, and lyrics. but lately we havent been writing in it because we dont get a chance to see each other during or after school )= so i guess we decided that blogs would help that problem lol. she reads mine & i read hers. i can talk to her about pretty much everything and she's so laughy & easygoing and i love that about her. she's obsessed with music (especially all time low) which is great because i love music too. i think we can both be content and have a fun time just sitting at one another's houses, eating and talking. it's one of the joys of our lives ahaha she sounds amazing, right? wait till you hear what she has to put up with...

i'm pessimistic. i get jealous. i'm not very self-confident. even though she tells me that i'm pretty, i always say "i'm not" because i dont think i am. i hold grudges sometimes. every now and then i'm mean, just because i want to be. i'm awkward. and shy. i'm so paranoid. it's only a matter of time before i'm diagnosed with OCD. i get emotional too easily. my face is covered in extremely unattractive zits. even though i'm proud of my religion and i'm not afraid to show it, i'm sure it probably annoys people. i'm an obstinate person. i can be selfish. i've lied. one day i'm gonna get fatter than i already am from how much i love and talk about food. i have $7 on my dresser right now. it's not mine.. it's my mother's. i took it from her wallet /=

so even though i'm all those things, and i've done all those things, this person still decides that she wants to have anything to do with me. thank you for putting up with my crap and being my bestfriend all these years =)

did you guess who it is yet? it's nicole brianne smith<3

Soup Sounds Good Right Now...

yaay! new nail design (= i did white nail polish for a base coat, and then i used black to make a zebra design. i kinda screwed up on some of them. the stripes look too thick, but overall i really like it =D

tonight i made baked shells. it was supposed to be baked ziti, but my mom didnt buy the ziti noodles like i asked her to. she's like "i forgot!" even though it was the first thing i wrote on the list for her to get... >:/ so at the last minute i had to run to the dollar store and since they didnt have any ziti noodles i had to get mini shells. it still tasted good though =) mmm, ricotta and tomato sauce is a great combination <3

i cant believe i already have a major book report thingy due in october. it's like really hard tho. it's not like any book report i've done before. my english teacher's like a drill sergeant and she's having us do this 5-page essay on our independent reading book. she calls it a literay analysis. i'm not even done my book yet. that's cuz it was a requirement that it be over 300 pages! i planned to read some more of it today, but i fell asleep.. hahah

yesterday i had my third varsity game. we won again =) i think it was 47 to 30? or it was 42, i'm not sure. i kinda hate it though because now that i'm a varsity cheerleader i have to spend the entire game cheering and not hanging out with my friends =( i only get to be with them at half-time and that's only for like 10 or 15 minutes. when i say "them" i mean my bestfriend nicole smith<3 i miss her soo much! i dont have like any classes with her this year. only two: career prep & spanish 2. it really suckss.

hmmm, i want wonton soup <3

We Are! PENN STATE!

just got off school. actually i got off around an hour ago, but you know what i mean. it was the usual, nothing special.. just, you know.

math class is actually a little better now. before it was freaking boring, but it's kinda better now because... i think it's because my little group of friends and i are like connecting with the teacher. by connecting i dont mean by asking more lesson-related questions to understand it or whatever, but we ask her other questions and we're always together in the class and laughing about random things. like the other day we called over miss. maziarz (that's her name) and we were just like "how many tattoos do you have?" and she just tells us and doesnt feel awkward or anything and it was actually pretty funny. but my favorite class is still honors english =)

♫ just gonna stand there and watch me burn, and that's alright because i like the way it hurts. just gonna stand there and watch me cry, and that's alright because i love the way you lie ♫ (Eminem ft. Rihanna)

tonight's back-to-school night too. my mom said she was going. so did my dad, but i dont know if he is haha he always says stuff and then changes his mind later. i didnt think he would even want to. he hates all those school event things ahah but i hope he does because then i'll be home by myself! paaartaay! =D nah, i'm probly just gonna chomp on rice & chicken and blast music or watch tv. or both, hahah.

i miss my bestie! she's sick & has been absent from school for the past 2 days. we only have like 2 classes together, and i miss her in career prep! =(

ooh! and i'm excited because in like a little over a month i'm gonna go up to penn state university and visit my sister! she's a freshman, just like me (=

Cheer Practice and Ghetto Ice Cream Sandwiches

blah. i have cheer practice in like 2 hours. i reaaally dont wanna go. just too tired. i dont feel like jumping ahah. but the good news is that i actually didnt have alott of homework today. i finished it all before 3:30 lol. and mmm, i just had a vanilla icecream sandwich <3 i found this picture of a box of icecream sandwiches, and i thought the brand name was funny. maybe thats the kind of icecream sandwiches they have in the ghetto!

yesterday after church i went to kyra's house again. i have some really fun times with that girl =) for lunch we heated up leftover ribs that were like COVERED in barbeque sauce from the church meet & greet. they were soooo good. like beyond tasty. i wish i had some right now. we played tanks on wii play for hours. we had a carwash yesterday, even tho it was like about to rain hahah and got soaked bc she kept grabbing the hose from me and so the water and soap suds were getting everywhere. for dinner her mom made chicken parmesan with noodles and garlic bread (yummmmm!) <3 it's becoming, actually became, a weekly thing when i go to her house until like 8 after church.

Crazy Old Lady At Varsity Game!!

sooo, i had my second varsity game about 4 hours ago, and it went really well. kinda.. we won, 29-12! =D

but here's the real story: it was the 3rd quarter and this random middle aged woman walks up to our squad and she's like telling us what to do and telling us to cheer louder and to jump higher and spread out. at first we thought it was funny bc she was just some random woman and we were having a fun time screaming at the top of our lungs hahah but then she just kept coming back to us and telling us what to do and we were all getting kind of annoyed by it. so the older varsity cheerleaders tell our coach, and when the woman came back, our coach went up to her and, i didnt hear exactly what she said, but she probly said something along the lines of "please leave my cheerleaders alone. you're not in any position to tell them what to do". and the woman said SO LOUD in the nastiest voice everr, "who are you anyway?!" and then my coach is like "i'm their coach..." and the woman's walking away and she says super loud, "i feel bad for you guys because you got a baaad coach." we were all like "what?!" but it didnt stop at that. the woman's standing near the bleachers and as we're cheering, she's booing us. yeah. nice, right? and she's giving us thumbs down and she's telling people that we're bad and sucky cheerleaders. she's pointing at our coach and us and making nasty faces and the whole squad's getting PISSED OFF. later the woman and her husband moved over near the entrance. it was funny bc the older varsity girls told like 2 people what happened and then we look over 5 minutes later and a GROUP of people, like the highschool boys and even guys and girls that hav graduated from my school, come over to the woman and are like telling her to back the hell off. and my coach goes over there bc it was gettin' kinda heated and like 15 minutes later we see a police car and everyone's like "oh no..!" and then our coach comes by later and she's like "i had the police escort that whack job out". HAHA! i love my cheerleading coach <3

just goes to show you: you dont mess with the cheerleaders..! ;D

New Classes, New Grade, New Year /=

so yesterday i started school again, and this year i'm in 9th grade. it's alright, i guess... it's definitely alott harder than last year, or for that matter, any year before that. i still have classes with some of my friends, but then there are these random people sitting around me that i dont know. idk, i guess i'm just used to seeing the same people in every class every day. but this year is definitely going to be a very big challenge bc now i have mrs. deliman. this woman is my honors english teacher and she's like a drill sergeant when it comes to writing and grammar and all that jazz. she's very nit-picky and intimidating, and yet she seems soo nice. however on the first day of school she assigned my class a 5-paragraph essay about random stuff that was due the next day, and she told us that we have to study bc we have 2 tests next week -__- ...wth? sure hope it'll get better in time...

my sister had her class before me, and she warned me that we'd have homework EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. but i actually didnt have a lot tonight. i finished most of it in school, and so i got a chance to go out on a walk with my puppy, brody, and my daddy <3 we went down by a river and threw rocks into the water for brody to chase. and he jumped in and was having fun swimming around and getting all wet (= and i even soaked my feet in the coool water, which felt so relaxing after having just two days of deliman so far.

this night was a very special night for a very special reason... AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL!!!! cycle 15 of america's next top model premiered tonight about 2 and a half hours ago! i LOVE this show. i've been watching it for ages. ANTM's so interesting and fun to watch and i always love watching the judges, well, judge and the photoshoots and everything. the whole concept of this show is amazing, however, the contestants they picked out for this season are not. let me just note that this is one of the best seasons bc now they're not doing seventeen magazine, they're doing ITALIAN VOGUE. yeah. and the whole theme for this cycle is high fashion. so you'd think that they'd get these gorgeous girls with beautiful looks for this amazing cycle, but noooo. apparently ugly is the new pretty. tyra thinks the ones who have the "weird" and "interesting" looks are beautiful. i'm sorry, but you can look interesting, but that doesnt mean you're beautiful. you can look different and interesting and still be beautiful, but you can still be hideous too. and many of the contestants in this cycle are hideous. or maybe a nicer word would be... plain. usually i know right in the beginning who i want to win, but i honestly have no idea.

"Secret" Recipe.

happy sunday again! went to church today and then went to my friend, kyra's house for the rest of the day. i love spending the day with her. she's like my bestfriend out of school. yeah, she doesnt go to regular public school. she's homeschooled.

for lunch, we made her dad's "secret recipe". it's probably the unhealthiest thing in the WORLD. they only have it once a year because it's so bad for you hahaa. you make an entire package of bacon. and when it's crispy, you crumple it. and you boil a pound of spaghetti. and then (here's the unhealthy part) you, like, fry the spaghetti in the bacon grease. and then you add the crumpled bacon, garlic powder, grated parmesan cheese, salt & pepper, and a little mayo. i know... you mix it all together and that's it. it's actually okay. it's not like AMAZING but it's alright. it's very greasy, though. i could feel the grease on my lips as i ate it. and i couldnt eat a lot because i was scared i'd get a bad stomach ache if i ate too much of it. i actually had to mix the secret recipe with plain noodles to balance out the grease hahaha

ohmygosh, i cant believe my mom. she friggin takes my cheer schedule which has times for practices, home games and away games and all this important stuff, and then she loses it. it was on the fridge this morning, and i come home like 15 minutes ago and it's not there. and my mom's like "oh, i was reading it earlier this afternoon. i dont know where it is..." OMFG i could kill her.

i dont know what to do now because i'm bored, so i'm watching everybody loves raymond and munching on potatoes

Home: 40, Guest: 32 !

ahhh, got back from my first varsity game about 2 hours ago. it was sooo great! at first i was a little nervous. i've cheered at games before, but i was so scared because now i'm on varsity, and everyone's lookin' at you and if you mess up it's like "aggghh!" and i messed up. quite a lot, actually haha. but other than that, the unbearable humidity and dust flying everywhere, the game was fabulous =D and we won!

still obsessed with little house on the prairie btw. hahaa i'm watching it right now! it's about a black doctor ahaha

Bean Cakes!

oh my gosh.. there's like 5 days left of summer and i'll be starting school again and my sleep schedule is still screwed up. i'm staying up till like 1 AM because i cant fall asleep any earlier and waking up at like 10 AM or later into the afternoon. aghh!

yesterday my mom came home from work with a bunch of packages of the same snack: bean cakes. they're so good! apparently there's a person at her work who lives near a chinese market and she goes there a lot and gets things like snacks, vegetables, fruits etc. and she brought bean cakes to work and gave some to my mom and she kept giving them to her because my mom told her i liked them =) the outside's so flaky and the bean and rice paste inside and all gooey and delicious <3

A New Month!

yes! september is here! another month closer to some of my favorite months of the year: october, november, and december =) i love the wind and the air, and how all the trees have such pretty fall colors in october. i love thanksgiving and all the days off from school in november. and i love the winter landscapes and celebrating the birth of my Savior in december <3

i'm super excited for my first game on friday! this year's football team is supposed to be really good too. i love football games a whole lot more since i started cheerleading. it's so much more fun that way =D

♫ let's go all the way tonight. no regrets, just love ♫ - Teenage Dream (Katy Perry)

one of my favorite hobbies now is looking at photography. i especially love going on photobucket.com and looking at the "best of photography" section. the pictures are just beautiful. all of the photography categories are really great. i love looking at the pictures and choosing one to be my desktop picture haha.

"Is That Chad Kroeger From Nickelback?"

a few hours ago i came back from my best friend's house =) we watched STD (it means straight to dvd, i promise hahah) and ate nick's cheese fries (my dream come true!), mozzarella sticks, and hoagies <3 a great afternoon it was. it probly would've been 100 times better if there was no humidity. i walked from my house to hers (just a note: our houses are across town from each other) and then back when i came home. i thought i just might die. the second i walked into my house, i turned on the air conditioning and leaned backwards into my bathtub and soaked my hair with cold water ahah =D

tonight at 6:15 i have cheerleading practice. i dont care what anyone says, cheerleading is and always will be a sport. and it happens to be one of my favorites <3 just because it doesnt involve throwing balls around to people doesnt mean it's not a sport =P

♫ Savior, He can move the mountains. my God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save. Forever, author of salvation. He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave ♫ - Mighty To Save (Newsboys)

Dear Summer, Why Do You Always Go By So Fast?

darn it! i really wanted to go to my bestfriend's house today, but her stepmom is making her clean. i havent hung out with her in a while too :( it's alright, i guess. there's always tomorrow! =)

for some reason, all i've been watching lately is little house on the prairie. my mom and dad like that show and so they bought 8 seasons of it on DVD. i watched it before, but never this much. it's almost like there's a never-ending little house on the prairie marathon going on at my house ahah. i actually love it. i mean it's no jersey shore, but it's a good show haha.

♫ this town used to be a pretty place to stay. a place to stop up on the highway. but all of those things changed on the day you packed up your bags and you ran away. all they say is how you changed. every day i stay the same. so you can keep the necklace that i gave to you, i'll keep the sh*tty tattoos ♫ - RIP (3OH!3)

i feel so fat. i've been getting these terrible, unbearable cravings for unhealthy stuff. like cheese fries... (mmmm) i'm such a foodie. i love to cook food, and i love to eat food. i've been helping my mother with meals ever since i could hold a fork and spoon. i've loved every moment that i've cooked breakfast, lunch, or dinner. even if it was something simple, like rice. i just love cooking <3

i cant believe that in one week i'll be going back to school. this summer went by way too fast. they always do =/ i'm kind of excited at the fact that i'm now officially in high school, but i'm also a little nervous. it's gonna so much harder than middle school, and i'm scared i wont be able to handle it. especially with my mom at my throat. if you knew her you'd understand. she's one of those moms who, even if you try your absolute best and you get even an A-, she's still not satisfied and makes me work and study harder. i guess that's good, because even i dont like A-'s. i dont like Bs either. to my mom and dad, B is basic. Bs, Cs, Ds, and certainly not Fs are allowed in my family. i think they'd make me sleep outside if i ever got a D or something haha. no, they wouldnt but they'd probably beat me ahaha.
