i got it now!!
ok, so i went to washington, DC for five days. it was AMAZING!!!!! i really did not want to leave!! we went to the manassas battlefield, mount vernon (the home of george washington), the national museum of american history, the national museum of natural history, the national air & space museum, the washington monument, the capitol building, the outside of the white house and the blair house, the jefferson & rooselvelt memorials, and a lot of other places. have i mentioned it was amazing?? anyway, i roomed with kelsey, daisy and this girl named lydia. it was pretty interesting... let's just say you learn A LOT more about people that you didn't know before when you're forced to be with them pretty much 24 hours a day for 5 days... ugh. it was painful and annoying. but at least i had susie!! she always kept thing interesting. haha.
(and of course i missed you jordan, allie, and gloria!!!!)
anywho... on the stuff you probably rather hear about. i'll just give you the story:
ok... so i have been friends with bob for like 2 years. he's a nice guy and i always have thought of him as my friend. during the dc trip, he tagged along with my me and my friends almost everywhere i go and talks to me all the time, etc. you get the picture. then when i was at the pentagon city mall (which is amazing! it had like 4 floors and it was chock full of crazy awesomeness).. anyway at the mall i saw it. and i was like 'omg sally! i think bob likes me...' my other friend had commented on this a few times and i was like 'oh.. no way! we're just friends!'
anyway, so i told sally everything he's done (which can be found at the end of this) and shes like 'awww...he does like you!' and then she yells over to someone who told 2 other someones until i told them all to shut up and keep it quiet. so then the next day, i was vaguely trying to avoid him because frankly, i was a little freaked out. THEN that night, his friend joe comes up to me and said 'hey would you please talk to bob? he's really upset because he thinks you're avoiding him or something.' and then i denied it b/c i really didn't want my suspicions to be confirmed. then joe said 'yeah he was crying a little b/c you weren't talkng to him. he's really upset..'
and then he started to say something else but then he was like 'nevermind. he wouldn't want me to tell you..' (and of course, i had to push for it so i was like 'no! tell me!!' and joe was like 'well.. he really likes you and he was going to ask you out...' and i didn't even hear anything else. i was like WHAT?!?!?!? it hit me in the face. it was like i had been running and a cold marble wall dropped in front of me and i ran into it. i didn't even see it coming!
so then on the bus home that night, i started thinking.. and i picked up on these little things that have happened...
*he bought me a necklace...
*he bought me something on the dc trip when i complained of running out of money (and when he offered, bill and ron walked up and bill was like 'what are you two goin out or something?' and was like ummmm... noo. and bob didnt say anything. abd then ron saud 'yeah! i can really see it!they would make a good couple!' ugfhh..)
anyway..
*he also offered to buy me a like $15 tshirt
*he invited me to his house for his superbowl party
*he offered to teach me how to dance (and i must say.. he doed look good in a tux..)
*constantly texts me
*when i joked about seeing a chick flick with him, he said 'no, i wouldn't mind. if it was with you, i would go along willingly."
and idk what else, but trust me, there's more. but the thing is, i don't really like him like that. he really is only just a friend to me! anyway, so i'll see how that goes. the funny thing is that he has no idea that i know all of this or even talked with his friend, haha.
i would appreciate if you do not talk about this with other people. i haven't told the one person you probably think who would have been the first to hear. but that's another issue!! ttfn

i know life isn't perfect, but should it really be this hard?
my life is full of many, many great things. but seemingly 'normal' peope don't have to go through most of the stuff i do. i'm not complaining. well, kind of...
anyway, relating to what was stated above, some 'stuff' happened again this morning. we didn't go to middlesboro this weekend. i was really, really bummed about this b/c i would have gotten to see you know who and do who knows what. (no, nothing bad lol)
i didnt get to see my grandma either. or go hiking. or 4 wheeling. or swimming. or just messing around. or whatever.
i didnt get to do ANY of what i had mostly mentally (but some things verbally) planned.
why?
because of something that i didnt do but am hopelessly involved in until a miracle happens. i continue to pray, so my wish will be granted soon enough.
so today i ended up immersed in the 'orange and white game' traffic. oh no. i didn't go to the game. i ended up fishing off the dock of a marina (where a friend's boat is parked) i caught a largemouth bass! it was pretty cool and i applaude the being who decided to engage us in this activity as a distraction. it worked! kind of...
then i came home to another surprise- which stirred up mixed feelings.
so i have been home for maybe an hour and a half and i've been out shooting. oh! (and i just thought of this yesterday)
whenever something goes wrong and i HAVE to escape, i either take off on my bike or i go out and shoot. in short, let's just say i have gained amazingly better shooting skills and i have gotten stronger, faster, and have more endurance. this says a lot.
anyway, sort of movin on-
around a month ago, i found a favorite song. they usually drift in and out, but before this, there just weren't any great ones. until miley cyrus came along and handed me something that i could finally relate to. i know, i know. but i'm not just another miley zombie fan. i really admire her. i mean seriously. look at all she's accomplished! and shes only 16!! shes amazing. so heres the song. life's a climb-
"the climb" by miley cyrus
I can almost see it that
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head saying
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
I Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always goona want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes i'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
Cause...
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes i'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
(guitar solo) Yeah...
There’s always going to be another mountain

It’s the climb
yeah...
Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
Whoa...
i know that everyone has their problems. and i don't think that one person's problems are any greater than another person's. it may seem that way to an outsider, but a person's issue is their issue. i dont know if that makes sense. "kinda-sorta-almost-maybe?" guess where that came from?!?! lol

RAWR means i love you in dinosaur
my action packed life!!
i looked at my huge dry erase whiteboard calender on my wall and realized that my weeks are completely packed until the end of school! whoa! i know right? i usually don't do much, but then i look up and WHAMMO! i am suddenly booked!
so here's the dealio-
this weekend, of course we had off school for four days. yesterday, i went shopping pretty much all day and then i went 2 olivias bday party. then today, we went 2 church (happy easter by the way) and then we came home. my dad, landon, and i went frisbee golfing. it was such a gorgeous day! and then we came home, i chilled for an hour or so, and then ross and tyler came over and played 2 on 2 with my brother and me. and then- prepare yourself........... I UPDATED MY BLOG!!!
anyway, 2morrow, they're probably going 2 come over again.
this week, we have tcaps. i, personally, do not AT ALL mind them!! i mean come on! it's easy stuff and we don't have to have all of our classes, we get longer 'recess' time, and only 1 special area! it's pure awesomeness!
then after tcaps are over on friday, i go home and pack. yes! i am going to middlesboro (yay) to visit my grandma AND the bowlings. i am so ready!
THEN we get back on sunday and i have to start focusing on DC. by then, i won't have ANY packing done, anything organized, etc.
THEN we LEAVE FOR DC!!!!!! (wednesday) and i don't get back until sunday (so i get back at 9 or 10 and then have 2 go to school the next day. not b/c i have to. my mom will be trying to get me 2 stay home, but of course i have to go back because i'll miss everyone too much!!
then after i get back on my feet that week, i'm probably going to miss school friday because we're heading up to louisville, ky to my grandparents' house because IT'S DERBY TIME!!! yes, the kentucky derby is back again!! woo! in case you didn't know, i spent the 1st 8 years of my life in my ole' kentucky home. (thats the state song btw) so of course we absolutely MUST! go back for the derby! we usually have a derby party and one of my uncles will be there, along with meme (my grandma), papa (grandpa), and nanny (great grandmother).
so i am totally PUMPED for the next few weeks!! bet you wish yours were this busayy too!!! it will be interesting to see if i can pull it all off!
so, in the words of the great Tigger, ttfn!! (ta ta for now)

the irony of dr. phil...
recently, i saw the front page of a magazine that said "dr. phil betrayed by wife"
you would think that the one guy who everyone looks to for relationship help and life guidance would have at least his own life straight. he's dr. phil! people refer to his name when describing their good friends' ways of comforting and advice giving! (if that makes any sense...) heck, he should be the one who's the most well off! well, he's not apparently.
and if you've noticed, i usually tell a little anecdote to open a post, then link it with something in my life. so here's the link:
sometimes the people who you think have no problems are the ones with the most. don't judge people based on their reflectance (is that a word?) in every day life. for example, there might be a guy who's the best basketball coach ever! but he absolutely sucks at basketball!
oh wait, let me put it in terms you can understand. umm.. the best conductor might not even know how to play an instrument. (though highly unlikley)
anyway, dont judge people. period!!
well, tomorrow i'm going to see the hannah montana movie with some friends. it will be interesting... don't ask.

this is for the violinists who think that they're actually pretty good...
to all the so called 'talented' violinists... WATCH THIS VIDEO AND THEN COMMENT!!!
http://video.yahoo.com/network/100063489?v=4257022&l=100063517
I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU DO THIS!!! $100 says you can't. WITH the dance moves. there are so many lame concert violin players out there.* no variety! just the same old lullabies and sure, sometimes there are great intricate performances, but really. they all sound the same! sure, keep your shrill on with mozart and beethoven and whatever. but once you can do this, i will really respect, admire, envy, blah blah blah, your skills. peace out.
*i promise, i am not trying to imply anything. there are great musicians out there!! i'm sure you're an amazing violinist...
Chopstick_Girl said...
we are definitely polar opposites >_<
i watched the video and the dancing and hip shaking is utterly ridiculous in my opinion.
since i am a violinist myself, we are accustomed to standing still and we still produce marvolous music (beyond hers) without the dancing and hip shaking.

i think that standing still is BORING!! at least she threw in some flavor and variety. sure, you can stand still and make great music. but, the level of your performance all depends on the audience. if i had to sit through your standard vioilin solo (standing still, shrillin it up) i would fall asleep. she keeps it upbeat and interesting.
