This is the story of the latter half of a girls week.

Wednesday
Wednesday, If i remember correctly, was a very good day. I wanted to come home and write an entry about it but I forgot on more than one occasion.

On Wednesday, the weather was a bright and sunny 74 degrees, lacrosse practice was only an hour, and i got to go home and do nothing since i had a field trip the next day.

Also, it was lab day and i didnt do my lab, but the lab report was so easy! so, i actually got it done. and this week he didnt even assign one! Yea. so basically that caused the lab period that followed to be uber dumb. we turned lead upside-down 600 flipping times! So me and mike had a sword fight with meter sticks while wonderful karol did most of the math-work.

Thursday
Thursday was the field trip!! you can see wonderful pictures of that (with captions!) here. It was a blast.

Friday I got to sit home and do nothing.

Today was Saturday! Well its after 12 now so its sunday, but, Saturdays rock! I got to go to Moore and sort of hang out with christian, but he had to paint benches today so we didnt get a whole lotta time. Me and liz went shopping after class and got killer matching purses and lots of clothes =D. And pizza. Pizza is gooood.

Kristen is confused by lacrosse being lots of fun :D

what-EVER! I lied again!

Practice today was a lot of fun. Or, it wasn't a lot of running after the first 25 minutes of running. This girl Elyse kept trying to piss off one of the captains by being her best friend. And instead of sprints we played leap-frog!

It was cool. I'm so surprised that lacrosse is being consistently fun. I know I'll miss next week because ill be in Hawaii, but Coach Diane has bowling day and a pizza party scheduled. I know! Wtf, right? megan never did that!

Im not letting my guard down though, because at any minute she could just decide to make us run a lot.

Any minute now.

Thats right.

good night <3

Rugby in the Rain!, Prom, and other stories to enhance the imagination

So Friday was the Prom. And it was sorta fun. Not memorable, but sorta fun.
I willll be posting pictures. probably in my Livejournal?

Saturday was awesome! I went to art school where Christian proposed to me and gave me a ring pop and everything. So we're getting married <3 Then we hung out in the city and ate pizza on the wall in Rittenhouse square. Then we met up with his mommy and went to Urban Outfitters and looked at clothessss (in the mens section)

After I came home on the train I slept until around 8:00, and i only woke up then because my mom came in saying "i got us some chinese food" :] so that rocked.

Todayyyy I played rugby in the rain! it was fun fun fun. Now im tired.

By the way, Lacrosse was awesome again on Thursday. Coach Diane gave us candy =D
Therefore, tomorrow's practice will probably suck.

Thats all i suppose<3

I lied.

I seriously felt like I stepped into a time warp that took me back 2 years at lacrosse today. Diane was.... Megan. Megan, the reason I thought I'd never play lacrosse again after my ankle broke.

We ran 1 and a half miles today....twice! and the second time it was timed. Oh, and she decided today that some of us are getting cut. Great.

Yea, its been awhile!

Freshman year I had a blog.

Spring of freshmen year I used my blog for one specific thing: complaining about how lacrosse sucked so much and was the worst thing ever to happen of all time.

But today lacrosse was so awesome! Honestly I never thought i'd say that. But we have 2 new coaches who really relate to us and dont just yell at us all the time. its so cool. I cant stand it.

So i actually like going to lacrosse now. Rugbys bothering me though.

...I guess i just feel like i need something to constantly complain about ^_^

Oh well haha, im back on xanga! thats something, right?

Killer Tofu

my brother is 10 today. 10!

I dont know why 8 and 9 didnt make me feel old, but 10 definitely does. Hes not my baby brother anymore. And when the hell did I become a junior in high school?? This is rediculous.

Last night i got to hang out with my friends!! We went to the battle of the bands which was cool cuz we got to see The Wars End win the prize, and Jim's band do their Killer Tofu cover. And the other band's modest mouse cover was amazing.

And, we went to a diner afterwards where we did our usual diner stuff, like not ordering anything over 2.25, AND I got to hang out with jim which is cool because thats only happened like 2 or 3 times ever. And andrea brought colored pencils! And Amy has a lover.

Also My dad just told me that all these people are transferring to PVI because they hear how awesome we are. This is moderately confusing.

Sister Elvira wont be in school Monday.
But neither will we, maybe. Personally I dont care. But Snow days are always fun.

Have a nice dayyy<3

I love lamp.

Todaaaaaay..... was sunday!

But I'm not worried, because of a man named Martin Luthur King Jr, who was amazing in that he single-handedly stopped me from going to school tomorrow.

Last night I hung out with Nikki. We went to Sam's house where we met up with Andrew and Fhil. We watched Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, which is really funny, and then Garden State, which is really amazing. We also drank lots and lots of sparkling apple juice.

Then I called my dad to pick me up at 1:30 and he flipped crap. I would have too, tho. It was stupid.

Today, I woke up around 11 and ate breakfast. Then my family went bowling where we watched the beginning of The Eagles kicking Minnesota's ASS. And my mom kicked my butt in bowling because she's from South Dakota. You know how they do.

Later we went home and watched some more then went to IKEA where we got nothing and then we went to church where I saw Mike Mcmullen and also my baby cousin Natalie. :) I said hi to both, but I think I kinda ran away from mike to see the baby. im pretty dumb like that.

Oh yea, and my art teacher called me today.
Just wondering if I was ever going to DO my art project.

THE END.

I BURNS PASTA

This week has been very cool. Except for yesterday. Yesterday Sucked. But I think all the good things that happen this week cancel out the bad things!

And one bad thing being:
ART HOMEWORK OWNS MY LIFE.

But somehow today I turned the worst hair-day of my life into a good hair day. I curled half my head, then ran out of time. So i had to straighten it all out again real fast..... resulting in........FRO. So i braided it second period and then it was all better.

Things people said my earrings looked like today:
-The old light brown M+Ms
-Skittles
-Oranges?
-Thumb Tacks
-Chain Mail.

Chain Mail? hahaha that was Phil.

Also, my mom gave me a dehydrated orange. There was a small slit in i, and all the water had evaporated out. So we used it as a WEAPON!

Okay well i think my moms pastas burning. I was supposed to turn that off, but instead i wondered why that beeping noise wouldnt turn off.

Gotta BLAST!

I wanna stay up all night and eat cookies.

Today I drove my dads truck. before we got in I said "dad, I cant drive a truck yet!" I wanted to take his car instead, but we were going to home depot so I had to. He said, "Dont worry its just like driving a Hummer!"

Dot Dot Dot.

But I didnt die. But my internet did. Only 467532 times. My stupid internet made my evil twin sign off! My internet is dumber than Kwanzaa. And Kurt Halseys 457th painting of the same thing.

That entire paragraph made no sense.

But thats okay because tomorrow I get to eat pizza for breakfast. <3
