happy fathers day

since my parents broke up last year … wow that was last year? … it feels like its only been a month or two. My dad has been quite lonely, i call when im not busy, and me and my brother go there for 2 weeks, every 2 weeks, it’s not a problem, well it is a problem. My dad gets very lonely sometimes and i feel like he could use a little friend. I suggested to my brother a dog but her reminded me how frustrated dad got while we were still potty training jenny(my current dog) i think a cat might be a good idea though. they are very tidy, they clean up after themselves, they arent loud and don’t bark. On problem my dad won’t admit he is lonely. What should i do?
p.s. i know this is a sad situation but i would rather people not feel sorry,

I am dreading this May 24

I am dreading this long weekend. I have to work Saturday and Sunday :( I have no plans the entire week-end, somehow I have managed to be too busy to make plans because today I went out today with some friends and they were all talking about what their doing this week-end and I had nothing (for once). I have somehow FORGOTTEN that this week-end is May 24. I cannot comprehend how I managed to forget this week-end. I have absolutely no plans, not even cheerleading (because Sharks is over for the season), I don’t know how I am going to get through this week-end by myself with nothing to do!! Two of my friends are going to my other friend’s cottage and my other friend is going to her dads (because apparently hick parties are the greatest) and my other friends are just busy (I can’t blame them for it though). I do not know what I am going to dooo.

trees, cow manure and fresh air :)

  I am sitting here in writers watching soccer. My eyes have wandered to the scenery surrounding the soccer field and it’s actually really pretty. I sometimes complain about how our school is in the middle of no where and how there is nothing to do at lunch and spares are sometimes too boring to describe but now that I think about it, it’s actually kind of pretty around here. The trees are all green and the brown field across the road brings a color other than green into the scene. Behind the trees are some more trees and a few houses. In the background (faded because of the distance and the rain) you can see some hill’s with more trees and an electricity tower. I understand now why they chose to put a school here. It’s not close to any major buildings that block out the scenery or sunlight. We are able to breathe nice clean fresh air (sometimes scented with cow manure unfortunately). Now that I think about it, I would much rather be going to school here rather than a city school. Our school has space for soccer fields too. If we didn’t live in the country, I doubt we would have 3 soccer fields, a tennis court and a volleyball court. Our sport’s teams probably wouldn’t be as good as they are if we didn’t live here because of all the practise space we have. I like our school for those reasons, even if other schools make fun of us for them.

regrets

  It’s too bad I can’t be wise and think about thing’s before I do them.

3OH3 and starstrukk

I am sooo busy

I used to be one oof those people with no life. I would go home everyday after school, i would just do homework and watch t.v. I didnt hang out with friends often and i wasnt in many clubs.

Four years later i am doing cheerleading 4 times a week(on monday i have it after school and a 7:30 in cambridge) I love cheerleading and i dont want to give it up because it has made me much more confident and social. I only have practise 3x a week now because school cheer is only once but it’s still a lot! When i am not at cheerleading i am at work. I like working but it gets in the way of so much! I have gotten so busy lately that the next ime i am free (other than today) is next wednesday. I am busy the rest of this wek with track and field (which i am suposed to be at now but couldnt because i came home straight away and have been doing homework ever since)wednesday i work till 8:30, thursday i have cheerleading after school then am going out to dinner with the family ( since we never spend time together since we are always so busy) friday i work again saturday i work 10-3 then have cheerleading 4-5:30 (thats my other time slot to do hw and have fun at night) sunday i am sleeping in(from saturday) then i work then monday i have school tuesday im going to see 3OH3! and starstruck yey but im telling you my whole day wow i could be stalked (not that any of you would lol) but im not gunna tell you the rest because im creeping myself out by telling you so much   but yes im very busy and when my friends ask to hang out i have to check my schedule (literally i have to say im free between this time and this time on this day ) its annoying i wish i could have a day without anything sceduled in it but oh well i have made my life this way so i cant really complain.

gum that taste’s like tea !

So the other day i was in chemistry and my friend had some gum. Naturally she offered and i accept a piece of gum. I then tasted and chewed the gum and it was fantastic I forgot about this great tasting gum until tonight. My sister got this new box of herbal/healthy/fruity/mother nature type teas. I was curious so i tried one. While the tea kettle was boiling i smelled the tea bag. It smelled like some kind of wierd aromatic spicy potpourri with oranges or something. I then poured the boiling water into my souvenir ‘I <3 NYC’ mug and took a sip.  IT WAS SOO HOTT! It boggles my mind that someone can actually forget to wait a couple of minutes and wait for the tea to cool! I am rediculous! I swear I have the memory of mrs.wyche (a 200 year old lady) So when i put an ice cube in and it had melted i tried it again. The tea gave me a really wierd version of de ja vu! I was really confused but tasted again and the answer popped into my head. THE GUM! This tea that i’m drinking right now is incredible! No word of a lie, this tea actually tastes like a really good orangy fruity piece of gum! It’s amazing!

p.s. this tea didn’t even need honey (just thought i would let you in on that life saving piece of information)

Blogging

Blogging can be annoying at times I guess but i have come to realize that is a good outlet. I can be angry or jealous and for the most part people don’t find out (except for this class which i hope people wouldn’t go around saying everything I write on here to everyone, not that my life is even that interesting to you guys so I don’t think I have to worry about that ) When I blog I can get my thoughts organized and I don’t have to worry about keeping them to myself or saying things to people that i would regret later. I can be honest and post my actual feelings or just post the stuff we do in class. Blogging can be thoughtful or complete garbage rambling on about absolutely nothing(like this blog) Blogging can also be a way just to pass time on spare, or in a class that you find really boring! Sometimes I am surprised with how much I blog, sometimes I don’t blog enough, sometimes I feel like i’m intruding because of how much people say on their blog’s, sometimes i’m entertained with the stories people come up with using their overactive imagination’s, sometimes I post comment’s, sometimes I dont, sometime’s I comment on people’s blog’s when I dont even really know them, is that wierd? I’ll be surprised if you are still reading this blog because of how much i’m rambling on, but if you are, thanks  :)

Smile, you look sad

I was walking in the hallway when randomly a teacher in the hallway looked at me pointed to his smile and told me to smile because I looked sad. I smiled because he’s a teacher and it would probably look like i’m being rude if i didn’t smile, but why should I? How many people do you see walking down the crowded hallway’s with a dumbstruck smile on their face? Seriously i’m not going to plaster a smile on my face just because it look’s better. If I see friends in the hallway, yah i’ll smile and say hi, but I dont want to smile and be happy ALL THE TIME! I’m allowed to not smile right? Or is there an expectation that students should always be happy and smile all the time? Maybe we have to have a reason to not smile … well here’s mine, i’m at school and I have mrs.wyche as a teacher!

This has hapened a few times now, with different people and at different place’s and i would appreciate it if people would stop telling me how to feel.

My Family

Sometimes i feel like i don’t belong with the family I have. I am very thankful for them and they are such great people but I feel like i’m the only one who isn’t smart! I could probably try harder than i do in school, but for some reason I don’t and I don’t know why. Everyone in my family are very successful and i’m not sure if what i will do will be good enough. My cousin Josh, won Deca last year and is going to National’s again this year, and has the highest average in the whole school, My cousin Tara, got accepted into Macmaster University For Radiation Sciences, My cousin Mark is a fifth year radiology resident at the University Of Toronto and has just been featured in Macleans magazing for creating an app that doctors are using all over the world, my Uncle Felix is a professor at the university of British Columbia, my Aunt Dag is an Optometrist… you get the point i think, but what if I just go to some lame college and get some lame job? What will they think of me? I don’t even know what I want to do with my life yet! Is that a bad thing?    Are they or will they be embaressed of me?
