THATS RIGHT ME:)! lol i am too cool. my quads and ass hurt real bad from lunges yesterday and my wrists hurt from the crab walk. uck. but we didnt hafta run like at all 2day so its all good. i need to get back in decent shape, ive done hardly ne thing since tennis (indoor track 2005-2006 here i come lol )
speaking of tennis, we're possibly having a tourney guys vs. girls tennis teams. i think it would be so fun not to mention we'd totally kick ass. i dont care if im not all that great lol, itd still be fun to do. im excited.
andy has his road test TOMORROW. if im nervous for him then i cant even imagine how nervous he must be lol. im excited to go to his house thursday to watch the oc. however im not too excited for him to be meeting my parents (lucky us, my dad somehow got off on thursday for no reason) wtf lol.
ive had this poem saved forever and i keep forgetting to put it in here but i LOVE this fucking poem. its the most wonderful thing EVER. its so sad:( i get chills everytime i read this. amazing book. i need to go to borders and buy it cuz ive been yearning to read it again sometime.
From: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Chops"
because that was the name of his dog
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
And his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to his aunts
That was the year that Father Tracy
took all the kids to the zoo
And he let them sing on the bus
And his little sister was born
with tiny toenails and no hair
And his mother and father kissed a lot
And the girl around the corner sent him a
valentine signed with a row of X's
and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
And his father always tucked him in bed at night
And was always there to do it
Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Autumn"
because that wsa the name of the season
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because of its new paint
And the kids told him
that Father Tracy smoked cigars
And left butts on the pews
And sometimes they would burn holes
That was the year his sister got glasses
with thick lenses and black frames
And the girl around the corner laughed when he asked her to go see Santa Claus
And the kids told him why
his mother and father kissed a lot
And his father never tucked him in bed at night
And his father got mad when he cried for him to do it.
Once on a paper torn from his notebook
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Innocence: A Question"
because that was the question about his girl
And that's what it was all about
And his professor gave him an A
and a strange steady look
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door because he never showed her
That was the year that Father Tracy died
And he forgot how the end of the Apostle's Creed went
And he caught his sister making out on the back porch
And his mother and father never kissed or even talked
And the girl around the corner wore too much makeup
That made him cough when he kissed her but he kissed her anyway because that was the thing to do
And at three A.M. he tucked himself into bed
his father snoring soundly
That's why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
Because that's what it was really all about
And he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
And he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didn't think
he could reach the kitchen.
something that made me smile today: laurens anger at greg .. it was just funny watching her trying to not laugh when she she was "not talking" to him lol.
