Thinking about all of the food is already making me hungry .
Anyways, I can't say much now because I have to go shower and everything, my boyfriend is coming to the park with my family and I and then we're all having dinner together. =]
Hope everyone has a good one !
Should be a good day.
minus the family phone calls.
edit: hahaha I just saw this one
Polling groups like to track the approval rating of politicians. What's your approval rating for President George W. Bush?
While I don't agree with some of the things hes done during his term, the war in Iraq and the extent to which hes taken it , i'm going to be mature about it and not say "BUSH SUCKS!!!" like most people I know. I don't believe that he is an evil man,that he "sucks", or that hes trying to "wreck" our country. I just believe that we need a BIG change in government and i'm really hoping that change will come at the 2008 elections.
I really wish I could vote.
Today marks the end of my week and the start of a FIVE day weekend!! So of course i'm ecstatic right now :) . I've wanted to blog again on vox for probably the past three days but I just haven't gotten the chance to as i'd usually end up falling asleep every time.
I still don't really have anything to write about...this week has been relatively boring and uneventful. I guess I could tell you about last friday :) as it was the most fun i've had in awhile.
To start off with: I'm surprised I wasn't born a guy because thats ALL I can hang out with. If I have three girl friends that I talk to on a regular basis..i'd be surprised. It doesn't mean though, that I don't like hanging out with girls, its just i've only found one or two in my life thus far that are good, honest, friends who won't stab you in the back.
So anyways my friday nights usually consist of doing something random and sometimes dangerous involving myself , my boyfriend and some mutual friends of ours. The night usually involves fast cars, fast food, running around in the dark, and at one point or another video games (that of which I do not take part in because I get so bored of video games after awhile.
Last Friday I decided to change "being the only girl" in the group ,I invited my good friend liz and we had a blast.
I mean sure, I don't mind hanging out with just the guys as I do it all the time, but after awhile it gets to be a little too much testosterone..and when you're the only girl that can get annoying.
The night was amazing, it started off at the park, and then progressed to driving around..with the loudest music possible (techno, soldier boy at one point(yeahh I know) and then Lenny Kravits's "American Woman" which was the funnest to dance to in the backseat by far lol)
We went to a pizza place, then Jamba juice , the mall, and eventually back to the park where we played a really retarded (not to mention unsuccessful) version of manhunt. Me Liz and two of the guys ended up "hiding" in his car haha. All in all it was just a really fun night and we're doing it again a week from now when everyones back from thanksgiving and such.
I'm hoping to make this Thanksgiving break just as fun as that night was..i'm really hoping that i'll be able to make the most of it because I love days off :) .
Tonight i'm going to the park only with Brian. We were going to go to the school basketball game but we both agree that we don't really feel like doing anything high school oriented tonight. Sometimes I wonder if i'll regret not going to more school functions and games when i'm older..they're just those typical high school things you don't want to miss out on but still I guess i've got time.
My hands are freezing right now.
Anyways though, i'm due to meet Brian down at the park by 5:30 so i'm going to go get ready (brush my hair)...yeah.
I'll probably end up writing later about whatever happens tonight, if I don't though I hope everyone has a fun, safe extended weekend :)
So I decided to get a Vox because its the "cool thing to do"
actually not really haha. Truth is , live journal was getting boring and there was nothing to read except that celebrity gossip stuff..PLUS, It gets rather repetitive when everything is about Britney Spears and her kids.
So whats there to say?
Its almost Wednesday, which marks my busiest day of the week and my self acclaimed "half way" point , which is always something to be happy about. Lately i've been living for the weekends. Thats all there is to do, really. It seems like I just entered Junior year of High School yesterday and suddenly its half way through November. Its both something to be happy and some what scared about at the same time. It just takes me closer and closer to graduation and the fact that I still have no idea where i'm going or what i'm doing looms in the back of my mind constantly..along with numerous other things that is.
Today went by the book, as usual. I have a Literary Analysis paper to write..thats due Thursday..and I haven't started it. A test for Marine Science and Spanish II that I still have to make up as well as two new upcoming tests in both of those classes. Agh its stress. Thank god for Thanksgiving break next week :) , five straight days off from anything academically related sounds pretty good right about now.
So as my day lulled on , something out of the ordinary happened (FINALLY) not that it was a really positive thing or anything but..it wasn't something I normally see. I was walking down the steps after my Marine class and it was a pretty PACKED stairwell as usual. I was looking down (I always look at my feet whenever I walk) and I noticed an American flag spread across a few steps in the middle of the stairway. Of course I wasn't going to step on it because I felt that would be very disrespectful. Anywho though, I step to my left to walk around it and just as i'm doing that "some guy" shoves his way onto the stairs from the opposite direction leaving me stuck where I am and begins to violently stomp on the flag. Everyone was in a "What the hell was that???" state after it happened. Some people cheered him on and others muttered words of disapproval. I just made my way silently to my next class.
This act made me think about the United States though and all of the controversy about it at this time. With the upcoming election and the war in Iraq its really no wonder people may be frustrated with the current happenings. I myself am one of them. However, in my opinion, its not the COUNTRY itself, its the leaders of it and the decisions being made by them. Thats why it angers me when someone chooses to disrespect it in that way. While you may not be happy with the way its being run..the president..laws..ETC. its still where we live you know? Its a place that houses us and gives us more independence than a majority of places on this earth. We should consider ourselves lucky to have the freedoms we do and to me what the guy did wasn't respectful to that.
Alright, ramble about that over with.
Lately i've been trying to be more of an optimistic person. Its hard sometimes though, a lot of things in life try to get you down..some times it feels like you have to be completely ignorant to those things to not be overwhelmed. Feelings of Nostalgia have been present a lot in my life lately( in fact surprisingly I was the only one who could define it today in English. ah) . I'll think back a few years ago to my childhood and how innocent of the world I was. I haven't been through much but I feel corrupted..and I hate the feeling. Its led me to wonder if any of my peers ever get that way. I just can't see many of them being so, everyones so caught up with their cars, boyfriends, and getting into colleges that we're not really taking the time to just reminisce and think about the big picture.
Sometimes I wonder though if i'm the other extreme. Maybe I reminisce too much to let myself get caught up in anything.
What i've realized though during all of this is that this is probably going to be one of the most confusing times in my life and for right now I just have to go with the flow and see where I end up.
I really should get back to reading my History book now though and shower before I fall asleep (like last night).
I wish there were more hours in a day don't you?
i know what you mean. i love hanging out with just guys rather than girls. it feels more relaxed than... read more
on Five Day Weekend!
