Caleb gave me a purdy neclace today as a gift from when he went on the mission trip to Argentina. it's pink with silver and i guess the stone can only be mined in Argentina so thanks Caleb!!! i love it!!
hmmm.......... what else to talk about........ a couple weeks ago i stayed at my aunts house in Milford and we went shopping downtown and eventually went to fashion bug 'cuz i wanted to buy something... so i searched around and had my 2 of my aunts start looking for cute outfits and Sher visited me before i tried them all on!!!! yay!!! i miss that girl!!! anyways.... i went and started trying on clothes and the lady at the counter even started looking at me when i'd come out in an outfit for the fam to check out and then she asks if my cousin (Chelsea who's 13 years old) and i wanna help them do their fashion show August 20th and we agreed lol so my cousin and i are gonna be models for a day wOOt wOOt!!! haha this should be interesting... i guess we go in there, pick out an outfit (minus jewelery), model it for random ppl in the store, then when it's over if we want the outfit, we get it for 40% off lol sounds like a bundle of fun eh?...
color guard practices have strted up every wednesday which sucks 'cuz i have softball games almost all the time on wednesday's like tomorrow how i have a double header and can't play in it 'cuz i have practice... i have to be able to toss quads on both sabre and rifle, by the end of the summer and i'm freaking out 'cuz i can get doubles and the occasional triples, but NEVER a quad =*-( and i REALLY wanna stay on weapon line this year... i just really haven't been kicking myself in the butt enough to go out and practice.... i mean it's summer for goodness sakes!! i need to be lazy right?!?!....... o well.... plus i really REALLY need to start working out man!! i should have my splits down by camp if i don't wanna have to do some of the stuff they're gonna have us doing BLECH!! anyways..... nothing all that great is going on like usual, so sorry for the louzy update...
to all those ppl that say at the end of the school year... "we should SO hang out over the summer!!" or "OMG i love you!!! this summer is gonna be great 'cuz we're gonna hang out!! i'll call you!!" LET ME JUST SAY I HATE YOU!!! gosh i hate those kinda ppl... if u don't wanna hang out with me... that's fine 'cuz i prolly don't wanna hang out with you either, but don't make some fake plans with me and then never do them 'cuz i'm one of those ppl that does nothing but school work and sports all throughout the school year, so i never have time for my friends.... but when summer comes around, i have NOTHING to do and NO ONE to do anything with.... it's stupid 'cuz everyone gets in my face during the school year about not wanting to do anything when i never can, but then when summer rolls around, all of a sudden the phone is quiet and i guess i don't have anymore friends.... w/e.... i guess i just had to vent....
Dear Libular...
i'm sorry for me being a jerk or whatever i did... i hate how you can't/won't talk to me and can't trust me with anything that's going on with you... i don't know what i did, and i don't know how to fix it... i know i'm prolly coming across as annoying or something like that 'cuz i used to keep asking you if you hated me, but what else am i supposed to think when a good friend of mine just suddenly stops talking to me... i mean honestly i don't know what happened, i'm not just trying to act stupid here... i dunno.... i guess i just wanna know what happened, and to tell you that i'm always here for you whenever that time comes around....
Clay....
it makes me really sad that we have barely talked throughout this entire summer... i mean we used to talk EVERYday, but i haven't talked to u or seen you in close to what 3 weeks?!?! and that sucks 'cuz i liked how it used to be.... but maybe u've been busy or something i dunno, i know i haven't called 'cuz i thought u were busy or something all the time, so sorry if that's y you haven't lol but o well, i guess eventually lol
Jonathan...
i still don't get it... but hey, maybe i shouldn't try to understand it so i guess i'll try and stop right here, as much as i know i won't, but i'll try, so if something changes, YOU have to let ME know....
A "Nice" girl deserves a "Nice" guy... don't you think...?
This is my tribute to the nice girls. To the nice girls who are overlooked, who become friends and nothing more, who spend hours fixating upon their looks and their personalities and their actions because it must be they that are doing something wrong. This is for the girls who don't give it up on the first date, who don't want to play mind games, who provide a comforting hug and a supportive audience for a story they've heard a thousand times. This is for the girls who understand that they aren't perfect and that the guys they're interested in aren't either, for the girls who flirt and laugh and worry and obsess over the slightest glance, whisper, touch, because somehow they are able to keep alive that hope that maybe... maybe this time he'll have understood. This is an homage to the girls who laugh loud and often, who are comfortable in skirts and sweats and combat boots, who care more than they should for guys who don't deserve their attention. This is for those girls who have been in the trenches, who have watched other girls time and time again fake up and make up and fuck up the guys in their lives without saying a word. This is for the girls who have been there from the beginning and have heard the trite words of advice, from "there are plenty of fish in the sea," to "time heals all wounds." This is to honor those girls who know that guys are just as scared as they are, who know that they deserve better, who are seeking to find it.
This is for the girls who have never been in love, but know that it's an experience that they don't want to miss out on. For the girls who have sought a night with friends and been greeted by a night of catcalling, rude comments and explicit invitations that they'd rather not have experienced. This is for the girls who have spent their weekends sitting on the sidelines of a beer pong tournament or a case race, or playing Florence Nightingale for a vomiting guy friend or a comatose crush, who have received a drunk phone call just before dawn from someone who doesn't care enough to invite them over but is still willing to pass out in their bed. This is for the girls who have left sad song lyrics in their away messages, who have tried to make someone understand through a subliminally appealing profile, who have time and time again dropped their male friend hint after hint after hint only to watch him chase after the first blonde girl in a skirt. This is for the girls who have been told that they're too good or too smart or too pretty, who have been given compliments as a way of breaking off a relationship, who have ever been told they are only wanted as a friend. This one's for the girls who you can take home to mom, but won't because it's easier to sleep with a whore than foster a relationship; this is for the girls who have been led on by words and kisses and touches, all of which were either only true for the moment, or never real to begin with. This is for the girls who have allowed a guy into their head and heart and bed, only to discover that he's just not ready, he's just not over her, he's just not looking to be tied down; this is for the girls who believe the excuses because it's easier to believe that it's not that they don't want you, it's that they don't want anyone. This is for the girls who have had their hearts broken and their hopes dashed by someone too cavalier to have cared in the first place; this is for the nights spent dissecting every word and syllable and inflection in his speech, for the nights when you've returned home alone, for the nights when you've seen from across the room him leaning a little too close, or standing a little too near, or talking a little too softly for the girl he's with to be a random hookup. This is for the girls who have endured party after party in his presence, finally having realized that it wasn't that he didn't want a relationship: it was that he didn't want you. I honor you for the night his dog died or his grandmother died or his little brother crashed his car and you held him, thinking that if you only comforted him just right, or said the right words, or rubbed his back in the right way then perhaps he'd realize what it was that he already had. This is for the night you realized that it would never happen, and the sunrise you saw the next morning after failing to sleep.
This is for the "I really like you, so let's still be friends" comment after you read more into a situation than he ever intended; this is for never realizing that when you choose friends, you seldom choose those which make you cry yourself to sleep. This is for the hugs you've received from your female friends, for the nights they've reassured you that you are beautiful and intelligent and amazing and loyal and truly worthy of a great guy; this is for the despair you all felt as you sat in the aftermath of your tears, knowing that that night the only companionship you'd have was with a pillow and your teddy bear. This is for the girls who have been used and abused, who have endured what he was giving because at least he was giving something; this is for the stupidity of the nights we've believed that something was better than nothing, though his something was nothing we'd have ever wanted. This is for the girls who have been satisified with too little and who have learned never to expect anything more: for the girls who don't think that they deserve more, because they've been conditioned for so long to accept the scraps thrown to them by guys.
This is what I don't understand. Men sit and question and whine that girls are only attracted to the mean guys, the guys who berate them and belittle them and don't appreciate them and don't want them; who use them for sex and think of little else than where their next conquest will be made. Men complain that they never meet nice girls, girls who are genuinely interested and compelling, who are intelligent and sweet and smart and beautiful; men despair that no good women want to share in their lives, that girls play mindgames, that girls love to keep them hanging. Yet, men, I ask you: were you to meet one of these genuinely interested, thrillingly compelling, interesting and intelligent and sweet and beautiful and smart girls, were you to give her your number and wait for her to call... and if you were to receive a call from her the next day and she, in her truthful, loyal, intelligent and straightforward nice girl fashion, were to tell you that she finds you intriguing and attractive and interesting and worth her time and perhaps material from which she could fashion a boyfriend, would you or would you not immediately call your friends to tell them of the "stalker chick" you'd met the night prior, who called you and wore her heart on her sleeve and told the truth? And would you, or would you not, refuse to make plans with her, speak with her, see her again, and once again return to the bar or club or party scene and search once more for this "nice girl" who you just cannot seem to find? Because therein lies the truth, guys: we nice girls are everywhere. But you're not looking for a nice girl. You're not looking for someone genuinely interested in your intermural basketball game, or your anatomy midterm grade, or that argument you keep having with your father; you're looking for a quick fix, a night when you can pretend to have a connection with another human being which is just as disposable as the condom you were using during it.
So don't say you're on the lookout for nice girls, guys, when you pass us up on every step you take. Sometimes we go undercover; sometimes we go in disguise: sometimes when that girl in the low cut shirt or the too tight miniskirt won't answer your catcalls, sometimes you're looking at a nice girl in whore's clothing - - we might say we like the attention, we might blush and giggle and turn back to our friends, but we're all thinking the same thing: "This isn't me. Tomorrow morning, I'll be wearing a teeshirt and flannel shorts, I'll have slept alone and I'll be making my hungover best friend breakfast. See through the disguise. See me." You never do. Why? Because you only see the exterior, you only see the slutty girl who welcomes those advances. You don't want the nice girl.. so don't say you're looking for a relationship: relationships take time and energy and intent, three things we're willing to extend - - but in return, we're looking for compassion and loyalty and trust, three things you never seem willing to express. Maybe nice guys finish last, but in the race they're running they're chasing after the whores and the sluts and the easy-targets... the nice girls are waiting at the finish line with water and towels and a congradulatory hug (and yes, if she's a nice girl and she likes you, the sweatiness probably won't matter), hoping against hope that maybe you'll realize that they're the ones that you want at the end of that silly race. So maybe it won't last forever. Maybe some of those guys in that race will turn in their running shoes and make their way to the concession stand where we're waiting; however, until that happens, we still have each other, that silly race to watch, and all the chocolate we can eat.
so i guess i'm a nice girl... that could explain for the lackage of guys... NOT!!!
