My first entry of 2008...will be good. :) I hope. Well, I'll start by saying I updated/altered my mini-profile over on the left hand side. I like it more now. ^_^ I had a terrific New Years and my mini-week back at school had been great. I mentioned in my last entry that I was spending New Years with my two superly friends and I did just that. The hours leading up to midnight we spent dancing to "Pump it Up" but after we got too hot we stopped and spent about three hours talking. I love when we talk like that, and it can't be forced. We call them "talks", [ha, yeah, good name] and we had a great one the day I had them sleepover my house, and we had a nice one that night too. I don't think I would have wanted to end the year any other way. We talked a lot about college and our plans of what we might want to do, and what our parents keep telling us, and how we're unsure/sad/scared, and it was pretty serious. The best part is how closely we can all relate though. We had a long moment of silence when Nicole brought up that next New Years will be out last in a way, and a lot of "lasts" are going to make us really sad. I'm sure we could have all cried if we let ourselves. :P It's tough. Even the people that don't care for school, the work, or the building/people itself, you're going to miss something when you leave, and you can't tell me otherwise. :P Even yesterday, when I was in study hall for gym with Nicole and 1 other friend [the rest of the class was who knows where], well the other friend was talking with us about graduation and the whole "wow I can't believe it" sort of stuff, and life after it. Going to grade school and whatnot with these people our age who we see every single day are family in an odd-related way. If you think hard about it, the memories of funny teachers, scary teachers, tough assignments, goofy recesses, world events, and pointless secrets are shared among everyone. We all share the same memories, and very different ones at the same time. We went through things together, grew up together. It's just going to be different when it's all gone. Especially if after high school you're moving out of state to another school on your own. Those people have to make new friends from scratch, it's like a new life. I'm excited for the future but sad at the same time.
Anyway, by the time we finished our conversation it was time to watch the ball drop. I like watching the ball drop. I want to go to NYC and see it in person some year. That is one of my life goals. That and also going to NYC for one of those Macy's parades, because I love parades. I've only been to New York once, so I'd really like to go again. :P After those festivities, my friends and I went downstairs to Abby's sister's room until it was time to leave for the paper route [oh yeah, we went alright!] Her sister is a Psych major in college, so she was quizzing Nicole and I [psych class takers] on Psych. I think I got a little too excited when I started answering questions and stuff. I mean, it had been over a week since school and classes, and I loved remembering Psych stuff at 1am on New Years day. =) hehe.
Paper Routing was a blaaaaast! As always. This time, since it was my second, I got to deliver papers like the rest instead of just fold. It's fun and you have to pay good attention to directions/commands like "On the rungs! Between the doors! On the stoop! In the tube!" :P And it's good exercise for 2-4 in the morning when you're jumping in and out of a car every block. xD Haha, wow, love it. We stopped at the gas station again too, as routine. When we walked in Abby showed me the High School Musical display they had there with Zac and other things all over. [yeah, but it was sorta expensive:P] It was like 3 bucks for Zac's face on a pin, and I wasn't sure if his face was worth that much, because it's worth much more actually. :P They had book sox, locker poster stickers, and folders too. I bought a High School Musical folder and I loveee it! It's light purple with drawings all over/scribbles and stars, and on the inner pockets it has the cast names. I had money thanks to the very generous payment I receive for paper routing. I feel it's unneccessary and very kind, yet we really get paid. :o
I slept maybe 4 hours that night and not enough the next for I had school to wake up early too. It wasn't bad though. :) I have a Spanish Skit due Tuesday, a scene in a restaurant. I think it will be fun. I have to memorize my lines though. Yesterday I went to my friend Nicole's house and spent the night. It was last minute and fantastic! =) Hehe, love her. I had a lot of fun. She got Guitar Hero for Christmas, so I got to try that out. Once I got the hang of it I was really getting into it. It's so fun! :) Then we sang karaoke, and Nicole has a beautiful voice, so when I sing with her I feel more confident and just went for it and sang. I didn't do horrible like you'd think. xD It was incredibly fun. I mean, reallly fun. =) We then watched some of the show "The Office" because Nicole got season 3 on DVD for Christmas too and that show is really funny if you've never seen it. It can have some, I don't know, inappropiate humor sometimes, but it's so random, so in my city, and so like my friends. :P We watched a couple episodes since they're short. Haha, but pretty funny. :) My English teacher raves about that show a lot and one day she made us do the chant from the show and dance. It was embarrassing, but hilarious. xD I'm guessing this entry can be about over now. Hopefully I can write again real soon. Have a good one. :)
Happy New Year's, fellas. :) Technically that's a bit early, but I bet in places like Australia it's only a matter of hours for them now. Hours for us too...sorta. Yeah, you get my point. I haven't gone too many places the past few days, mainly because I haven't been feeling too great and was a bit sick. Everybody seems to be sick though. I spent a lot of time reading instead. Finished two books, working on starting a third. I missed that feeling of having a stack of fresh novels home and being able to get lost into them and binge-read. xD With school keeping me busy on most nights, I lose time to read like that. The first book I read was about a girl named Remy and her summer between senior year ending and before she left for college. I liked it a alot, even though the ending left things dangling, which I actually sort of like. The second I finished today was about a girl with an eating disorder and whose father died. It was interesting and cute, yet short. The third one is about a teenage girl who apparently has died but the reader reads from her point of view of her seeing how her friends, family, and boy act with her gone. Sounds very different and one I can't wait to get into. ;)
I think it's time I give a quick kitty update. My cat, Cyber, is really starting to adjust and I've been around him enough to really pick up on his personality. Throughout the day he has moments lasting a good hour or more where he is extremely active. He'll run and jump from couch to couch, scratching his way up things and down others. He'll follow people around and sort of, I don't know, like knaw on your ankle or scratch at it playfully or something. Once that phase wears off he finds a comfortable spot to lay and sleeps for a bit. Once he wakes up he is incredibly calm, sweet, and gentle. This is the best time to pick him up and cuddle him. He likes to pet your chin with his paw if you stare at him a while, or lick your fingertips. It's really cute actually. I have to say I thoroughly enjoy having a cat. After all these years of wanting one, I wasn't let down. Hopefully I can always have a dog and a cat that live with me. It's lovely, to say the least! :)
Moving on... [haha ironic, the song playing off the radio just sang that same lyric.] My plans for New Years are to spend it yet again with my dearest girls, Abby and Nicole. We're all looking forward to it so it should be a real good time. :) I plan to bring my new camera, my phone, everything. I hope I can snap some hot pics of us dancing our butts off, since that's the plan. I think we're going to be dancing to "Pump it up" by Joe Budden. Which if we do, it's a pretty pumped dancing song, haha. I can't waittt. Some late night paper routing in C-dale might also be involved...just have to wait and see! Pretty funny to think that the first thing I do in 2008 might be riding around in a small car delivering newspapers at 2am with a paper route song cassette sung by Abby is blasting and the car does doughnuts in an empty lot as I sit in the middle and have my two best friends scream& squish me to pieces. Ahh, that's the life, hahaha. =)
I have a big urge to mention you know who again in my blog, because I had some pretty adorable dream about him last night, woke up with his voice in my iPod, and got a new poster of him today. Obsessed? Barely. :P I don't know what in the world it is about me lately. I was 10, 12, 14 years old, whatever. I never had such a crush on a movie star, music star, nobody. Neverrrrr. And isn't that the teeny bopper age time for that to occur?! Haha, I told you people, I am a late bloomer in every possible way. xD So I am going to be 17, and I have the biggest crush in the world on, yep, a movie star. =P It is fun to have this crush though. Mostly all my friends know by now how this has developed and grown, and they tease me and play along like he's going to be my boyfriend someday. Aw but my dream was really cute, like cute in a 10-year old's first crush kind of way. [Maybe I'm regressing? :P] Anyway, I'm already this far into it so I may as well share it. [You can stop reading if you want.. :P] All I remember is that it was snowing and everybody from school was at this park, Ze [I'll use Ze for these purposes] and I included. The middle is a bit fuzzy, but of course I remember the end as it was the best part. It was like a field trip maybe, and I was with my friends and other people until I saw Ze and he waved me over and smiled. I proceeded to run off with him and man, I wish I could remember whatever was going on, but I guess something bad/scary did because everyone was running to get back on the school buses before they pulled away. Ze and I were kneeling behind a brick behind, like sort of hiding, and peeking around at everyone else running. [So weirdddd but really cute too!] He kept telling me to stay calm and everything would be alright because he was there. All I remember is the foggy breath coming out of his mouth when he said that [because it was cold and snowy], and his face was so close to mine his cheek was brushing against mine even though both of us faced forward. Then all I remember next is getting on the bus late, out of breathe, and just jumping in the first seat, crouching down in and breathing really heavy, my cheeks flushed red and my heart pounding. Then the bus started to move and I look out the window and saw Ze standing there again, shyly smiling at me maybe? Then I woke up I guess. It was cute and the most unrealistic dream ever. It certainly was just a DREAM. xD But aw, so cute. :)
Skimming through my last entry of last year, I wrote about a lot of firsts that had happened to me. This year there was not too many things I'd call "firsts". The biggest exception being my going to Warped Tour and meeting Family Force 5. ;) That will probably be one of my favorite memories of 2007. I'm surprised I don't have a whole lot to say on 2007. It was a nice year overall, no complaints. I guess I'm just feeling excited more so for 2008, which can't be a bad thing, right? Man, it's hard to know that 2009 is really close, my graduation year. Every year I always just hope that the upcoming year will be even better than the last!
Merry day after Christmas! =) Hi everyone. Blog's been pretty active these last few days, that's great! Well, I just went to login on World of Warcraft when I got the message my prepaid time of playing was up. :( No more free trial. No more WoW. I was hoping after today it'd be up, not actually 
I had a very nice Christmas, I really did. I think it was even a little bit better than I anticipated. On Christmas Eve I was losing some holiday spirit for a little time [not sure why] but then it returned. :) Yesterday was a good day. I wish it had lasted a little longer.. [because today is just totally downhill around here =/]. Anyway I suppose I could list the gifts Santa brought me as that is probably what would interest most readers. ;] Actually no. First I have to mention that I always feel like I don't deserve all the things I get because really, maybe I don't realize it all the time but I'm extremely lucky. I have a friend or two who just make it by well enough. I was talking to one yesterday and I felt a twinge inside telling her the expensive electronics I got when I know she's been wanting a working cellphone for years. I guess the point I'm trying to make here is that I am 
Now I just can't keep my excitement hidden any longer! I got a digital camera, iJam, cellphone, HSM2 DVD, makeup, some clothes/socks, pen, watch, and $175 all for Christmas. ;D Ah! Ah! Two big surprises were the camera and cellphone! A few weeks back when I was asked what I wanted, I explained how"my iHome is broken, I love High School Musical 2 and Zac Efron, I sorta want to pick out this makeup thing, and maybe not now, but for my birthday, I'd love to have my own camera to snapshot future events." That was pretty much my exact words. And that was all I said. ;) So I was certainly surprised in a number of areas! First off, the cellphone!? Omg? Um. :P I don't know where that came from. I never asked for a cellphone ever because I don't like phones that much even though I get called regularly for homework help or chitchat [which I love, don't get me wrong], and I still have this shy problem of dialing someone else first and waiting for them to pick-up. [Lol, this sounds silly but really, I can get like nervous or something? -shrugs-] and I figured what do I need with a cellphone? My parents felt it a great idea to buy both my brother and I new cellphones so we'd have them for emergencies and rides and all that stuff. And well, alright, lately I've been using other people's phones when I'm somewhere more often so I guess it will be useful there. ;) I was reallly surprised though. Chase and I were opening it at the same time, unaware, but he beat me to it and I saw the cellphone box and said aloud "OH MY GOSH! WHAT!?" and tore the paper off like crazy to see my own cellphone box but a totally different kind than his. I was honestly just so surprised! I guess I felt it came out of nowhere and usually I have an inkling as to what may be hidden for me, but a phone huh? Niiice. =) I really do like it though. I love the teal color, and I like that it's different looking than all the other cellphones because it's a Juke. [I'll show pictures in a second.] I set it up yesterday and while writing this entry it rang for me and was my friend so how exciting huh!? =) Haha, I have to say it does make me feel excited and more grown-up if you will. ;P I think it will come in handy too and will give my home phone a rest. ;] Now here you have some pictures of it and my other gifts below [not taken with my digital camera yet, sorry :P]. It flips out and up to be completely open, but it doesn't have to be flipped open to answer the phone. It has a camera on it too, and a music player. I added like .3 of a GB of songs to it yesterday to see what it was like, pretty cool! :) [Click for larger views of all pictures]. ;)
