Tumblr

Yes, I have delved into the murky world of cyberspace.  Here's my tumblr!

Feel free to explore, comment, or even give me some ideas, pictures, thoughts, etc.


I am now on winter break.  In one sense, it has been long overdue.  In another, I cannot believe how quickly this year has gone by.  I really think that all the sports I am playing make my time fly! 

Any of you have a Christmas wish list?  I have one! Here is a couple of my wants/needs/got-to-have-em's
1.) Riding Lessons
2.) New Soccer Ball (My last "virgin" one unfortunately has a presumed hole and is leaking air)
3.) A vacation to somewhere warm!

It has been sooooo cold in CA!  Definitely not Cali weather.  At our last game (we won, 2-1!) it started pouring and thundering.  Been a while since I have played in the rain.

Another update:  I went to a party whose experience definitely needs to be shared.  I will write more on that later! 

Everybody Seems to Have Problems, But Me

Let me tell you now, stop reading this if you value your time and would like your life to remain peaceful and happy. 

There, if you're still reading it, you must be bored, stupid, or feeling like a bitch.  And oh, yes, this will contain profanity.  I usually try to limit myself, but I need to let something out before it explodes (that's what she said).
> Yes, that is what even 15 year old girls think when they hear stuff like that.

People love to complain to other people about their problems.  I GET IT!  I do this all of the time.  Doesn't matter if it's the creepy hobo on the street corner or my dog, I tell everybody.  But I usually tell them what the problem is.  I hate it when people say they have a  problem and complain to you for an hour straight and then tell you that you would not understand their problem.

I think I would.  I just listened to you complain FOR AN HOUR about it.  I think I would get it, I truly do.  

However, I rest my case.  Our football season ended.  No championships.  It was the first time our team made it to the playoffs, which was nice.  I truly think that next year our team has a real shot at winning the championships next year.  It makes me pretty sad knowing that we won't have some of our seniors next year.  I am so happy that I played on that team. 

I also ran the Spartan Race this weekend.  I did it at night.  It was cold, bruising, and an incredible amount of fun.  

Now, here's a song to remind me to be a teenager (even if I do not go out and smoke weed, this song relaxes me...)

Our soccer team has been finalized.  I am not really happy with the selections made for varsity, but I'll work with what I've got.  Since my sister has a concussion, I'll have to play sweeper and let somebody else take my right-wing striker position for not until she comes back in January.  I'll talk more about the team in the next post. 
We have a scrimmage this Tuesday against Community Charter, whom we beat 4-0 last year if I remember correctly.  Our season starts in January or February, so this is a pre-season warmup game. 

So, despite tests, homework, problems, and the occasional hormone shift, just have fun!  Doing the Spartan Race made me happy and have fun.  I didn't know if I was in shape to run it before I did it, but I got the ticket for free and ran with some people for the football team.  I had an incredible time and know not to worry about being in shape unless I do the timed heat instead of the Hurricane Heat.  We had to wear headlamps, but I will definitely try to talk about this tomorrow.

Schedule for this week:

Fill out Earthwatch application (Due Nov. 30)
Monday: English SAT Vocab Test, Flute Lesson
Tuesday: Scrimmage
Wednesday: HUGE Bio Test, Band Test
Thursday: Thanksgiving (almost forgot about it!)
Friday: Will be in a happy-food coma

Sloowww

Things have slowed down a bit, which is extremely nice.  This Tuesday was a 12:30 dismissal, and our school had food trucks that came out.  They had a Kogi foodtruck (korean BBQ), a shaved ice truck, and a french fry truck that made exotic french fries.  I ended up getting a short-rib taco from the Kogi truck and a watermelon and lemon-lime shaved ice.  My sister and I took the Orange Line home with one of our friends.  As we were sitting down, a kid with a skateboard came on the bus, pulled out and X-Acto knife and tagged the plastic panel of the bus directly above our heads.  With a few quick slices, he sat down and got off at the next stop.

But still, I just watched in awe over his ass-holish-ness.  Every time his stupid knife bit into the soft plastic with a "schick" sound, it made me feel sick.  What kind of jerk defaces property like that?  I'm still pretty mad I didn't say anything, even after he got off the bus. 

My football game this week is on Saturday.  Luckily, I have practice Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.  I really need to work on my punt and on leaving the floor with both feet.  I know I have a better kick than the one I'm putting out.  Same with my kick-offs.  Unfortunately, I might have to wear my helmet in practice, b/c I felt horribly off-balance when kicking with it on.  I haven't worn it in practice for about a month. 

Ooh, and Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up (yes, I know, Halloween just happened, but I get excited!)  I'll probably post a Christmas list soon.

I Am a LIAR!

I know that I said that I'd write on Thursday about two weeks ago, but what can I say?  This week is crazy, but I'll try to write as much as possible.  Here's why it's crazy:

Math Test (Today)/Football/Soccer
Football (Tuesday)/English Project Due/Soccer
English Project (Wednesday)/HUGE AP Bio Test/Soccer/Football
Football/Soccer (Thursday)
HOMECOMING!  (Friday!)

If I survive this week, it will be a miracle.

Oh yeah, and I'm super sick.  Woo-hoo!

Poor Pimp Fabree-zay!

Unfortunately Pimp Fabree-zay did not make it through my post practice shower yesterday.  He will be very dear in our hearts.

On another note, I have the day off from school tomorrow!  Once everybody hears that, they acted like today was Friday and proceeded to fall asleep on the bus.  Speaking of the bus, there are overcrowding issues, so some people that are usually on my bus are not this year.  Or in one particularly spectacular case, one girl was on the bus roster while her brother was not.  This concluded to the whole bus watching her brother standing at the bus stop while the bus drove away.

I promise I will write tomorrow, since I have nothing to do (but homework, flute, practice, etc).  Get ready for tomorrow.

Whoo! Another Monday! 9/26/2011

I was going to do a great explanation of my blog and everything else I could possibly think of, but when I got home, I was so tired that I ate my dinner in my mom's bed while flipping between Monday Night Football (Cowboys v. Redskins--Cowboys won), Jersey Shore, and That 70's Show.  And then, I took a bath.  Exciting, huh?  I almost never take baths, ever since somebody told me that it is like sitting in your own filth.  Which it kind of is, and kind of isn't.  Plus, baths take so much longer than showers, but I did my math homework and read Allure while sitting in the tub.

Also, on a completely different note, my sister drew a monster on my leg.  Hopefully I will get a picture of it up tomorrow, but for now, you will have to stick to my very poor description.  She drew a little monster-teddy bear on crack with a pimp cane that has a sparkling diamond on the end.  She named him Fabree-zay, the best little pimp bear.  Oh, the things we do when we get tired...

Root for the Underdog- THE VERY BEGINNING!

Well, this is my first blog, blog post, and online pondering.  I have toyed with the idea for some time, always shooting it down, saying that I had too much schoolwork, sports practices, generally something along the lines of never having enough time.  To be honest, I still do not have the time, but SCREW IT!  This is my blog!

I swear, I am actually excited!  Since this is my first post, I will keep it short.  In the near future, expect to know what this blog is like, why it is called "Root for the Underdog", and much, much more.  In about a year or two, I will probably look back and smack myself for such horrible writing, but until then...
