here's the pattern...long entry retelling about 2 weeks worth of information followed by sporatic song lyrics or stupid shit that i'll write followed by 2 weeks of no writing only to continue the pattern once more.
so the last time i wrote was the night before cities. damn. well, we won that meet by a fairly easy margin. i rocked the video camera taping the starts and finishes and it was fucking cold as all hell. came home and then rushed to work NHS/watch lauren and melissa in the play. shit this really was a long time ago. umm yeah i heard ms zehnter say "no gangbangs" and i laughed. then i went home.
term paper is finished and college apps are all handed in, so that means half of senior year is officially over. i stuck with 9 schools, but at the last minute and took Emerson College and SUNY Albany off the list and switched them with SUNY Oswego and SUNY Geneseo. mostly because 3 SUNY schools somewhat ease the financial woes my parents are having over this whole college process.
played the final dodgeball game of the season against the best 2 teams in the league and we lost. again. we did however continue our streak of not being swept, so there is always a positive when dealing with a negative. the following week however, was the biggest positive of them all. as if playing the 2nd seed Q-boro Killas wasnt bad enough (we were ranked 15th seed, last in the league) we had to play them in front of the entire league in the first round of the playoffs. in the best of 5 series, we quickly went up 2 games to none and the stunned faces in the entire court were too many to count. Q-boro came back to win 1 but in game 4 Continental pulled off the biggest upset in the 2 season dodgeball history, beating the number 2 ranked team and heading into the quarter-finals of the playoffs. later on that night we played our in-school rivals the dan rizz! in the quarter final matchup and lost 4-1. we proved however that sooner or later Continental Breakfast would prove to the league that we are better than our record. last monday was the final 2 rounds and the all-star game. after a painstaking hour long matchup with the blue ballers and LI dynasty, the rizzi! beat dynasty to win the dodgeball championship. it was a good season and next season will prove to be even better. 17 weeks, more teams, bigger court, new team. its gonna be dodgeball at its finest.
winter track and AE have been taking care of afterschool and weekends for me. first meet tomorrow at the armory. a little eljay relay to start off the season. i finished longjumping last year at 18'11'' and im hoping to get up to the 19'5'' range and hopefully flirt with 20 if im lucky. we shall see what goes down.
(this is really scattered but noone reads this so its ok)
7th time seeing the starting line on sunday. im kind of a TSL whore you can say. this was smallest atmosphere ive seen them play yet and being it was at the downtown was awesome. everyone was there which was fun as well. umm yeah. show = good, nothing else really about it.
i promised hotcakes i'd talk about our polar express date the next time i wrote an entry. not only have we not gone on that date, our TSL date she thought it'd be cool to shun me. it happens. but there you go, i promised id write about you. and i did.
i got a car. my uncle gave me an early graduation present. 1999 Ford Contour SE. it seems to be in solid condition, there are just a couple of problems though.
1. as long as im still living under this roof, my mom will never let me drive. why? i dont know, she has issues.
2. even with work at AE, i dont have enough money to pay for gas and my own insurance.
3. my mom has issues.
4. i dont have a licence. i hear you need one of those or something to drive
5. and finally, my mom has issues.
i've been feeling like shit for the last week or so. every now and again i'll get depressed for a period about something in particular and all i do is lie to myself saying that i'll be fine. i keep saying im gonna stop caring because why should i care if you dont. but you and i both know that wont ever happen. for whatever reason theres something that i cant shake and well i dunno what to do anymore. it's funny how things can be 100% perfect at one point and then in one year its the complete opposite. i keep longing to continue something that barely existed, or sometimes, from the feelings i get back from you, never existed at all. maybe im just in over my head. im in too deep to even get out at this point. im not gonna say ive given up, but its getting there, and i might just give up on you all together, cuz well if you really did care, then you'd try a little better to show it.
