Day 25 – A first

there are so many firsts out there. i could  never write about just one thing. keep your mind open and experience life. you can do anything.

i want the whole thing upside down

so this weekend definitely hasn't been the most exciting of weekends. i've just been so tired from doing my NLS, like 20 hours in 3 days! but it's really starting to grow on me :) at the beginning of the course i was like, no i don't want to be a lifeguard. but now, i'm actually sort of enjoying it. and the instructor said i had the best eggbeater in the class which made me kind of stoked because that means i'm better then all the swim club kids in my course and even the ex water polo player! wooo! millions of swim lessons are finally paying off. 

this course has been growing on me so much that i actually didn't really want to party this weekend. and plus i was just way too tired! so i went out to a halloween party but i came home by like 1 because i wanted to be in good shape for my class! so i guess that would make this course a good influence on me too? 

oh and i'm kind of pretty excited for halloween tomorrow because 7 of my friends and i are being skittles! :) kind of really stoked because it's not slutty at all, just kind of cute i think! :) and i really want to hand out candy to little kids in their adorable little costumes! yaaaay! :) although i do have piano till like 7:50 so there might not be any little kids out anymore.... scratch that thought i guess! but still stoked! 

lots of love

Day 24 – Something that makes you cry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI-o25K6B-E&ob=av2e Fix You - Coldplay
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9z8NUghpGc Lost (Acoustic) - Coldplay
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MwjX4dG72s&ob=av2e Yellow - Coldplay

okay i know this sounds really weird, but you have no idea how many times i've cried while listening to these songs. coldplay is like my go to band when i'm having a bad day, or something really upsets me. ever since back in grade seven i've turned to coldplay whenever i've felt like i just need to cry, which really doesn't happen all that often but over the years, it adds up. and now those songs just bring back all the emotions from every other time when i listen to them.
also if i just really need to sleep, i'll listen to them. i guess you could say they just relax me?

lots of love

Day 23 – Something that makes you feel better

sunny days almost always make me feel better. as long as it's warm and sunny, i generally have no problems. i just lay out in my bathing suit and sun bathe when i'm having a rough day. it's simple, and i adore it :) just the thought of sunshine makes me happy :) especially when there's beaches involved!


Lots of Love

S and me :) oh  how much i miss summer weather and TANS!

i'm crazy, but i'm not insane

it seems like this week went by so fast, but at the same time it was so incredibly long! just so busy i guess..

so anyways looks like parties so far for halloween weekend are scarce. well i know of some, but it's not like i know the people going/holding them too well. and i'd much rather spend the time with my friends. but tonight i'm going to K's house for a surprise birthday party. he lives in this HUGE, house. it's practically a mansion, and there's not really any other houses around it? and it's right on the lake, so just the perfect spot :) but because of my lifeguard classes i won't get there until around 9:30 and have to be home around 12 :( so lame!

as far as saturday night goes, well i have absolutely no idea what is going on. so we shall see. maybe i'll just stay home alone and watch scary movies by myself.

oh and STILL persuading my parents to take me to a Dirty Head's concert on November 12th in seattle for my 16th birthday. i think the idea is growing on them. and if i can't make that one there's always Mac Miller in seattle on november 30th...


lots of love

love means pressure, and pressure makes diamonds 

but he thinks he got so many problems, he got too much time to waste

my dad got a job offer in... wait... let me make a little dramatic pause here




HAWAII!

oh my god! i'm so stoked right now! i'd kill to move there! ahhhh like even maybe better then him getting a job offer in california. this would be worth leaving my senior year of highschool next year for.

SOOOOOOOO STOKED RIGHT NOWWWWW :)

Day 22 – Something that upsets you

when you try to be so nice to people, even though they're EXTREMELY annoying, yet they still insist on being rude to you!

but you know how sometimes you just try and put this amazing effort, going out of your way to do something nice/say something nice to somebody and they either just

1.completely ignore you
or
2.just shun you from giving the compliment, and instead find a way to make you look stupid

i just can't stand people like this! if i'm making the extra effort to get along with you could you at least make the smallest bit of effort to not be totally assholeish/bitchy. please and thanks :)

lots of love

the circle of life... highschool life that is

Day 21 – Another moment

wow how many moments do their need to be here? well since last time i talked about christmas, i guess i'll go completely different, out on a whim here and talk about the first (and only) time i went surfing.

trust me, i loved the feeling of actually being able to stand up on the board and riding my baby waves :) i would definitely want to learn how to surf well! but sadly, on the island i live on the nearest surf town is about a 3 hour drive, and the road is majorly twisty :( oh and the water's super super cold.. like actually a couple years ago the had the O'neill Cold Water Classic there! mmm nice and chilly. you have to wear a full wet suit there, unlike hawaii. and although i've never surfed there i've heard that they have some great sports. so maybe one day?

and especially since i want to move to califronia so badly i would love to learn to surf. growing up on the beach all my life, it definitely feels like it's something i'm missing out on! i just love the ocean so much and i'd really like to fully embrace it in all ways, plus i'm totally an adrenaline junkie.. so that kinda helps out there.

lots of love

M

there is no plan, there is no end

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO BE FOR HALLOWEEN! and i kind of need a costume stat, but i don't want to look slutty! it just bothers me so much when girls go all short dresses/mega cleavage. just ew. nobody wants to see that! well okay.. maybe some people do, but not me! or anyone else with a decent mind!

also my 16th birthday is coming up like super soon. and just like halloween, i have no idea what to do. why do celebrations have to be so big and elaborate! jeeze people let's just keep it simple!

lots of love

use your mind and not your greed

so for a while now i've been considering going on a volunteer trip this summer coming up, but i'm still not really sure if i want to. it's a lot to take into consideration, mainly i'm worried about how long the trip will be, and i know it sounds extremely selfish, but i don't want to miss more then about one or two weeks of my summer. it's just it's my summer going into senior year, and finally everyone can drive and i can actually really go places with my friends without taking the bus or begging my parents for rides. so this is quite the dilemma i have here. i could also go the summer before university, but that might be too busy of a summer, i'm sure i'd have some time though.

another thing i've taken into consideration is taking a year off before i actually go to university to travel and volunteer in different counties around the world. i think it would really be a great opportunity to really see the world, before i decide what i want to do for the rest of my life.

i've narrowed it down to either Kenya, India or Nicaragua if i'm traveling with free the children. Kenya has always been the one place i've wanted to go in Africa, so i think that would totally be the first place i want to go, but i want to see other parts of the world too! we'll see what the future brings. 

lots of love

Day 20 – This month

well this month has definitely been eventful? maybe.. i'd say both september and october have had a lot going for them so far. and by that i mean i've actually had quite a bit of fun! but at the same time struggles too.

for one thing, i've never partied as much as i have in these two months. i think i went 6 straight weekends in a row? and some of the nights being back to back... and just in october i've had two long weekends. so and that all up and it equals a lot of party time. some good, some well.. not so good. but i mean in the end you always end up having some fun, or doing something funny. 

and i even got to see 'that guy' twice this month when he visited from his boarding school! kind of stoked about that :) since i'm not quite sure the next time he will be visiting/i will be able to see him... hopefully i won't have to wait until christmas. 

and this month i'm also doing my NLS which consists of 20 hours in the pool during my weekends... but two more weeks and i'll officially be a lifeguard :) as long as i pass... which i have enough confidence in my abilities... i think. 

and school, well has been school. nothing to big or exciting. i have straight A's, if that's worth anything. but i actually have a pretty easy semester - Chemistry, PE, Socials and Biology, so i mean no surprise there. 

lots of love

Day 19 –Your favorite TV shows

i'm addicted to reality tv, what can i say.

my favorite would be the real world. but i'll watch anything reality. from 16 and pregnant, to the real housewives of orange county, to millionaire matchmaker, to HGTV, to long island medium, to party mammas, to rich bride poor bride... and the list goes on. basically any reality tv show except jersery shore. i can't stand it! unless i'm super super bored, there's nothing else on and i need a reality tv fix.

but i also really really really love awkward, because jenna reminds me a little bit of my own life. oh and i'll always love two and half men, the big bang theory and how i met your mother.

lots of love 

M

real world Las Vegas was totally the best oneeeee! 

don't care what they're saying, i ain't changing

i've never been to such a beautiful celebration of life ever! even though i've only been to two.. this one was wonderful :) i laughed, and i cried. and most importantly i realized what an amazing man Dan was! there were so many things i didn't even know about him, like he biked across canada! i really don't know of anyone else who's done that. and the football boys that he coached, he really helped them. it was so nice to see 30 guys over 6 foot and 200lbs, all in their uniforms, laughing and crying along with all of us. and it was so great to get so many people together who all loved him, and cared about him :)

so past couple days i've been pretty tired because i'm doing my NLS and it just seems so long! makes me good n tired lifting weights from the bottom of the pool and doing endurance swims. especially since i am NOT a swimmer, i'm a basketball player!

and tonight kyle and brad wanted me to hang out again, but i kind of have this feeling they just want to use me... and seeing as i'm not really into that i had a somewhat girls night with shannon, julie and jess. starbucks and halloween candy :) and then this guy invited us over since kaynon was at his house and we decided to bring them a pumpkin, why not get into the halloween spirit eh?

lots of love

defs recommend seeing classified live, amazing.

and i'll meet you where the sunlight meets the gold

LONG WEEEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOO! :) super stoked. but like i said before, no partying  gotta be there for S. her daddy's funeral is tomorrow, and truthfully i have no idea what to wear/how to act.

oh and kyle and brad keep texting me which is kind of a dilemma because i feel as if they are talking to each other about it.. i don't know!

lots of love

sublime with romeeeee :) 

when i read this my first thought was 'thank god i'm not the only

one this happens to'.

obvs i'm the hottest thing alive..... right...? ... oh awkward  

whatevs.. at least i'm smart.. kind.. ya.. really awkward

i can't complain cause life is good, but

THANK GOD SCHOOL COMES EASY TO ME. otherwise i would have failed both my chem and bio tests today. i just couldn't study last night! i mean S's daddy is gone :( and she really needed my help. i even left school early yesterday to be with her when she first found out the news. so thank you, for whatever sorts of things make me smart without fully having to try!

oh and kyle has been texting me lately quite some... i wonder if he wants more then just some sort of hookup? because last time it somewhat seemed like that's all he wanted, but you never know these days! i mean i really do kind of miss having a boyfriend. even weirder brad has started texting me again. this may get incredibly awkward because they play on the same hockey team...

lots of love

M

p.s somebody from we day just called my house to ask me about being interested in a volunteer trip to kenya, kind of stoked :) i mean it is my summer before senior year.. but it's just such an amazing opportunity!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsIltin4Z7E
i'm driving, down the coastline. riding, with my windows down. i can't complain cause life is good, but man i wish i was on the radio :) 

Day 18 – Your favorite birthday

well i have to say it's pretty hard for me to have a favorite birthday, it's not like i've already had fifteen of them or anything. but actually my birthday is coming up really soon! november 2nd :) i've never really thought birthdays were such a big deal, but all my other friends have been telling everyone when it's their birthdays so i thought, why not, you only turn 16 once! along with every other age... but i mean who's counting right?

so anyways my favorite birthday, let's see. well i've had quite a few awesome birthday, but i think i'd like to say i haven't had my favorite birthday yet. i (well hopefully) have MANY birthdays to come, and i want each one of them to be special in their own way! :) and as long as i'm with the people i love i'll enjoy each and every one of them :)

lots of love

and though you gotta go, we'll keep a piece of your soul

Dan Costello was a great man. I don't think i have ever met a more positive person in my life. He always had a smile on his face, doing good to others and making sure everybody had a good laugh. I never had a chance to tell him, but he was a big inspiration in my life. He showed me that no matter what kind of terrible situation you are in, when it looks as if there is no going up, you can be happy. He loved his family more then anything in the world, and molded his daughter Shannon - my best friend, to be the amazing young woman she is today.

He was loved by many. As a father, husband, brother, uncle, cousin, coach and friend. I will never forget you Dan, you will always be in my thoughts and I hope the best for you wherever you are. I know you are now in a better place, and I hope you realize how much everyone loved and cared about you. RIP.

Lots of Love

A brand new baby was born yesterday
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said "Your tears are like mine"
I heard some words
From a friend on the phone
That didn't sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
I'd give him more if I could

You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

Down the middle drops one more
Grain of sand
They say that
New life makes losing life easier to understand
Words are kind
They helped ease the mind
I'll miss my old friend
And though you gotta go
We'll keep a piece of your soul
One goes out
One comes in

You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

Day 17 – Your favorite memory

Here you leave today, and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy. 

how am i supposed to pick a favorite memory when i have so many amazing ones?! some of my favorite memories though, came from the four trips my family has taken to Disneyland. it actually is one of the happiest places on earth! every single person there has a smile on their face. and i feel as if it really brings families together, and everyone becomes a kid again! 

it's just too wonderful and magical to explain, when i think about it i can't help but smile! :) just all the happiness, love and adventure it brings up amazes me. i'll never be to old for Disneyland, and i'll always want to go back as soon as i leave! i just love the feeling of being there! it's amazing. 

lots of love

"It all started with a man, and a mouse".

its all about the people you love, and the memories you keep

okay well i was too extremely tired/hung over yesterday to post about my weekend adventures.

so friday, lets see what did i do friday. well friday night i was hanging out with D and two other guys when this guy, let's call him KK, texts me. so somehow we ended up going to mcdonalds together, (hey i really wanted mcdonalds! and he has a truck.) and then we went on a walk at the beach.. yeah it was kinda cool :) it's a little weird though cause like i went to the same elementary school as him but other then that i've never really talked to him? it was so random but hey, he's a good guy. and that's what a just really need right now, a good guy. one that doesn't just want to go to parties all the time, or wants a friends with benefits situation.

then for nine hours on saturday i had a lifeguard course. so boring... it was kinda funny though cause this guy (who ended up telling me he was 22) started like hitting on me. he was in for a shock when he asked me what university i went to and i told him i'm still in high school... awkward moments. so then saturday night was kinda lame, but it was pretty chill. just got like a group of people together and went to this guys house and drank. just for reference, i am NOT drinking again for a really, really REALLY long time. i need a break from this whole party scene, it's just getting to crazy for me.

lots of love

Day 15 – Your dreams

my dream future, starting after highschool. 

so when i graduate i would very much like to have an amazing grad trip, get all my friends together and do a road trip from where we live to the west coast of california. we could have so much fun, driving down the PCH blasting shwayze and radical something, sunshine, palm trees, beaches and wind blowing through our hair. i think it would be totally amazing. crazy good times, especially if we get a good group of friends together.. and y'know if i could drive down with 'that guy' it would make it so much better ;) 

and onto university i really really REALLY want to go to university to the states. either some place in cali or hawaii. preferably california, but hey hawaii would be great too. i'm just somebody who need sunshine most of the time! and beaches. i have to have beaches! i grew up right on the ocean, and i'm planning to stay on the ocean. i also like smaller towns, i'm not much of a city girl for living wise, but i could put up with it if need be. not sure what i'll major in, or what my dream job is yet, but i'd really like working outside, especially on the beach. that's why i thought maybe like a zoologist or a marine biologist that specializes in the sea turtles or dolphins, something along the lines of that. but i'm not sure yet. 

at some point, before/after/during university i'd like to travel. travel A LOT. i want to see the world! get out there and do things! i'm love adventure, what can i say!? and i want to also go on trips to africa, mexico, china ect. and do volunteer work and such. i feel like it's important to give back! and i think i'd enjoy doing it.  

I WANT A BEACH HOUSE. of course i know that will be extremely expensive, but i don't care how small or how big it is, i just want it to be on the beach! and if i can't get it exactly on the beach it has to be near the beach! walking distance with ocean view, kind of like where i live now. 

oh and i'm not really much of a dog person, but i'd really like a dalmatian and i want to name him Magnum :) just to keep the energy up around the house y'know. and to have a buddy to go running with on the beach! 

so eventually i'd like to get married, start a family all of that crap, but not till i'm MUCH much older. none of this starting in my twenties business. my dream family would be three sons. two adopted from Africa (one from Somolia and one from Kenya) and one of my own. i even have a name.. how sad is that. but in case you're wondering it's Mac Rome. like not  together, but Mac as the first name and Rome as the middle name. Mac was the name of my grandpa, who i never got to meet but apparently he was a fun guy, always making jokes and just in general a happy person. and Rome after Rome Ramirez from Sublime with Rome. because i would make it Mac Bradley (after Bradley Nowell but i'm too close with a guy named Brad.. plus i know an Eric and Mac Bud just doesn't sound good). 

my dream wedding would be on a beach in the summer. somewhere like malibu, san diego, the bahamas, hawaii, a tropical place. i think the theme colours would be white and blue? but i haven't really given my wedding much thought other then the location. and i won't go into details about the kind of husband i want, because truthfully i have no idea. i just want to be happy with him! none of this getting divorced shit. 

in my dream world i'd own the Los Angeles Lakers. but in reality, i don't think that's going to be happening any time soon... but you never know! i'd at least like to have maybe season tickets? or go to a few games during the year. and i'd like to see Sublime with Rome, Radical Something, The Dirty Heads, Shwayze & Cisco, Mac Miller and many more! 

the biggest thing i want in my life though is to be HAPPY! 

lots of love

M

not exactly the kind of beach house i'd want.. but this looks 

pretty fricken amazing

where they momma's at? nobody knows, nobody cares

so yesterday was pretty cool. i went to this event called 'we day' at Rodgers Arena in Vancouver. it was an earrrrly morning to get there, but it was totally worth it. http://www.weday.com/ i was super stoked to see everyone! and super super stoked about shaq, classified and down with webster being there. they were awesome! and there were so many inspiring speakers. richard branson was even there! and mikhail gorbachev!

the one speaker that had the most impact on me, didn't actually speak. he took a vow of silence and instead, presented his speech with posters. michel chikwanine was a boy solider, and i thought that was really brave he was able to make it through it and take action against it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69JgbJnfUlk. in grade nine a read a book called 'A Long Way Gone' by ishmael beah. it told his story, of being forced to become a boy solider. after that, i took my money and donated it to world vision to help rehabilitate a boy soldier. hearing michel's story, it makes me want to take action. ever since i was a little, little girl it's been my dream to go to africa, to help. now i realize i can make my dream reality, and go on an exchange trip. i think that would be an incredibly amazing experience.

so anyways, no plans for this friday. i was going to take the weekend off from partying, but there might be something going on tomorrow night so there's a possibility i may go. i guess we'll just wait and see. this guy's texting me too, wants to party or hang out.. we'll see where that goes.

lots of love

'that guy' introduced me to the knux, they're not bad at all 

new life makes losing life easier to understand

so here's the deal, S dad has had cancer for a little over a year now, but today she left in the middle of class because her dad was sent to the hospital and only has a couple days left. i'm one of those people, i guess i just kind of see death as a natural thing, something that happens to all of us. so i just somehow can't be sad. i remember him, he was a great man, one of the happiest people i know. and i'll always remember him, even though his time was much too short, there's nothing that can be done, one goes out one comes in y'know?

personally i think death should be more into celebrating life, thinking back on all the good times you've had, the memories the ones you've loved, and still love. and think, there has to be something more out there, it can't just be over like that. there has to be something more to it, the universe is such a complex place. but that's just my opinion, and everybody has there own thoughts on that. i just used to be so afraid of death and dying, not just me dying but also the ones i love, now i just want to enjoy my time, and not worry about silly things that are going to happen in the end. let time run it's course.

this is probably my favorite jack johnson song ever. the lyrics just make me understand more. 

Day 14 – What you wore today

whenever i get home i automatically throw one the comfy clothes.. so although i DID wear a super super cute outfit today, i'm wearing my sloppy clothes now. i mean i just want to be comfy to do homework! and i've officially decided i miss wearing my beachy clothes :( i try to incorporate my style to like winter clothes but it's just not the same since it's so cold out it just doesn't look right! so sad :(

Day 13 – This week

THIS WEEK HAS/ IS GOING TO BE AWESOME.

i mean first of all i got a four day weekend, thanks to thanksgiving and a pro-d. so parties friday night and saturday night like i said before.. which was totally fun.

then sunday on 1 hour of sleep i drove down to victoria with my aunt and uncle to see my parents finish their marathon. it was actually a legit day considering i was incredibly tired and slightly hung over. victoria is a gorgeous city, and there's a lot to do there. we went out for breakfast and lunch which was sosososo good, and wandered around a little bit looking at stores and such, watched my parents finish their marathon which i was so proud about. like 42km for two people over 50, i thought it was great of them :) and my mom decide to run with my dad who's only been running since april and still managed to come in at 4:09! so on the way home we visited a few people that lived down there and such, then i went to my auntys house for dinner and we had indian take out and watched rugby. it was legit!

so monday i slept in, just kind of hung out and then monday night we had thanksgiving dinner at my grandmas. i'm not really the biggest fan of thanksgiving dinner since i'm kind of a person that needs something more like spicy? but it was still good. and i ate so much pumpkin pie it's going to be a while till i can start eating again. but i had a good talk with my cousins and goofed off with my family which is always fun.

so anyways why i'm super excited for this week is thursday! i'm going over to vancouver to go to this event called we day. it's like a big concert but like also with motivational speakers and like it's for children in africa. i'm mostly stoked because Shaq and Down With Webster are going to be there. http://www.weday.com/event/vancouver so yeah kinda stoked :) and also partially because even since i was super little i've wanted to go voulenteer in africa. so i'm glad i get to learn more about that!

not stoked for school tomorrow thoughhhhhh... oh well, it has to be done

lots of love 

M

extremely stoked to see this guy IN TWO DAYS :)

and i'm trying really hard but they forget me

so since i'm fairly new to this whole partying scene.. two nights in a row for me left me ridiculously tired. but it was AWESOME.

so night number one was actually pretty chill, i met up with nicole at her house and we waited to meet up with people. there was only like 7 of us i think? and 'that guy' was there :) i was talking to julie because she took the bus there with him and apparently he was like 'oh montana's gunna be there? i better start drinking now or else this will be incredibly awkward'. i see where he's coming from.. but i'm just one of those people that doesn't really feel awkwardness sometimes.. which i guess makes it even more awkward for the other person. but anyways we had a good time, walked down to the beach, and just chilled. and yeah.. i did end up hooking up with 'that guy' because once we were drunk the awkwardness (not so surprisingly) went away. but i know how ridiculous this sounds, especially for someone like me, but sometimes things just feel right?

anyways one funny part of the night was dustin insulted me so like play punched his arm.. and well i guess i missed his arm and punched his face a little hard then i intended to.. and since we're like brother and sister he went to slap my arm but yeah.. missed it and slapped my face. it wasn't hard or anything but somehow i got the worst nosebleed ever? so i'm like i have nothing to do with all this blood.. so this guy (his parents are like mega super rich) grabs a pair of shorts out of his bag. lifesaver! and after he defs didn't want them back so i guess he just kind of left them on the beach? it probably looks like somebody got murdered there now..

oh and also i have a video of nicole and 'that guy' singing.. well actually i totally forgot about it until the second night when i remembered and watched it on my phone. so funny. and at the end of the night when we had to walk home 'that guy' had his arms around julie and me and we sang some shwayze and some dirty heads and it was all good. it's crazy though because 'that guy' knows all the lyrics to like every song.. ALL of them. and he's not a bad singer. i think music kind of runs in his family though cause his brother is going to berklee in boston right now and he's a pretty great guitar player.

and night two, somehow i ended up having a house party cause my parents were out of town again. it was a good good good good good night. totally made me realize what amazing friends i have. and 'that guy' always kind of makes me happy y'know... stupid private school with stuck up rich kids who know nothing about the real world. so 'that guy' and his best friend who is so funny stayed the night, and that guy put we are radical by radical something on.. you have no idea how stoked i got. like he loves them! it just was like the highlight of my night, i remember being so happy.

so now it's two days later and i've been so incredibly lazy, but i mean it's thanksgiving, you're just supposed to eat turkey, sleep and laugh at your drunk family members right?

lots of love

just pretend they aren't doing illegal things in this video ;) 

you can own the earth and still all you'll own is earth

not the most exciting day today. rather then go through the events of my boring, beyond average day at school i will tell you something i'm actually excited about. I GET TO PLAY SOME OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ON PIANO! :) not that most people would be excited about this, but what can i say, deep down i'm a music geek.

okay so first of all Sonatina in G Major Op.20 No.1 by Dussek
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcNOn73uhyc
i know there's like a really little girl in the video playing it, which makes me feel a bit well out shined? but hey, i just play for the love of it.

and second i get to play a Disney song. i love when i get to play disney songs :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMuq7DBPB0o
the hunchback of notre dame is probably the only disney movie i haven't seen.. but i still love this song

and well my other songs just aren't as exciting. but i'm glad i get to play at least two i like!

lots of love

i've always wanted a room like this to play piano in

i think i'm on a disney listening song spree now... 

Day 12 - What's In Your Bag

well i really am not one of those girls that has a big huge purse i take everywhere. first of all my purse is a homemade hobo bag with a really awesome tribal pattern on it, but i really don't use it very much. all that's in it would be

my wallet
my chapstick (when i was younger i had a chapstick addiction.. so i still like to keep in handy just incase)
my house keys (if i don't forget them)

and that's really about it. i just hate carrying around big bags full of stuff all the time! just not my thing. i do have the prettiest wallet ever though! it's from volcom and it's just such a pretty colour! when i first got it i was like obsessed with taking it out at looking at it because it was just so pretty!

lots of love

another day full of new opportunities, another sunrise, another chance for you to be,

THAT GUY IS COMING TO VISIT FOR THANKSGIVING WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!! and thanksgiving weekend just happens to be NEXT WEEKEND! well for us canadians at least.. but i'm incredibly stoked because i finally get to see 'that guy' again! SO HAPPY! :) we were supposed to have like a party for him or something i think? so that should be fun :) i'm just so stoked to see him, i missed him so much! and not like one of those romantic mushy kind of 'my heart will never be the same' missing. but i miss just hanging out with him! like he's just so great to be with! probably one of the funniest people you will ever meet.

so today's been pretty chill so far.. soccer game in the morning, came home ate some soup y'know nothing to great. but i mean it's a sunday, so there's not really too much going on sundays... well usually at least. i probably won't be doing to much for the rest of today anyways. OH! and i did kind of score today in soccer, considering i play sweeper (last man back) i thought that was pretty dec. like it was on a corner kick too! it was perfect like it was straight and then it had that little curve to go in the net and just to be sure it was going in julie headed it in

STOKED TO SEE THAT GUY!

lots of love

say hello to tomorrow

SO well friday night there was another party at pipers. but this time it got busted :( cause there were WAY too many people.. like throughout the night i don't know how many people i must have talked to but it was crazy. there were just so many random groups of people. like there were the usual kids and then there were like some totally random people. like i saw this guy that i've been family friends with for like ever.. so weird. but it was a pretty good night though, like fun times.

when the cops came though i was with this guy who's really tanned and like has dark eyes and dark hair so people always say he looks mexican. and he's probably the worst person to be with when you run into the cops because they ALWAYS seem to pick on him for his looks. like actually, always. it's just so unfair how police officers can be so racist. but he's a really good guy to stick with at a party since he's like totally jacked so you're pretty much safe with him from anyone else.

so today i mostly just was lazy and sat around the house, practiced some guitar here.. some piano there. no homework got done though.. and tonight i just really felt like spending time with my family so my parents took my sister and i downtown to this lebanese/greek place. the food was so amazing. like actually i don't know how i'd never heard of the place before!especially since lebanese and greek are like two of my favorite types of food! so it was good. and then afterwards i went over to D's and a few other people were there and we just had a fire. no round 2, because i don't think anybody have fully recovered yet. so not excited for school on monday...

lots of love

kottonmouth kings are great.

Day 11 – Your siblings

well my sister O is a LOT like me. like i think she listens to me way too much, so i have to be a good role model... or at least i try to be one!

she's a little.. okay a lot annoying sometimes.. especially at times like now, when she just told me she msgd 'that guy'.. so i'm not exactly totally happy with her at the moment. so this probably isn't the best time for me to write something about her.

truthfully though i know i have to love her no matter what, and i always tell her everything. even though sometimes she gets EXTREMELY annoying.. but i put up with her no matter what. in the end i'll always love her and we'll always have crazy times together :)

lots of love
