Yesterday was a much needed get away from the stress I've been under. Snowboarding pretty much is always the one thing to look forward to each week. Yesterday we went all over the place, but it was sorta hard going fast because there were soo many people. I kept using the excuse of being slower than everyone else because I kept getting cut off. Sometimes this was true, and I would lose so much of my speed trying to avoid dumb people, but I think the guys, especially Jared are just getting a lot better than I am, lol. Jared is flying this year, it's nuts. Ahh, well, that's ok I guess, I'm getting my board tuned up today, so maybe if my edges are sharper, I'll go faster, more control. Cuz that's what makes me slower, I freak out when I can't dig into the hill to slow up, so I have to go slower to make sure I don't wipe out and hit somebody. But speaking of wipe outs, I was on this black, made it all the way down pretty much with out a problem, but then got to the end, caught an edge on a washboard, and did a face plant. I hit so hard I cracked and chipped my goggles. I think it was Krystal who was making fun of me for wearing a helmet, but I'm not exactly laughing. That was a nasty fall, it hurt too.
So my birthday is less than three weeks away!! I really wanna go tubing up at Keystone, but the problem with that is I can only bring like three other people. It would be really cool if I could have one of those Sweet Sixteen parties like on MTV, just not that fancy or snooty, lol. You know, rent a hall, get a DJ and invite everyone and just dance. It would be so sweet. Lol. So yeah, I dunno what I'm gonna do.
Mmmm, yes. Bye!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in so long. It's been such a hectic week. I was up until like 1 AM for three days straight trying to do AP homework. Never had we ever had so much to do all last semester and she springs it on us in one week!! Gawd. Basically I wore my self out, and yesterday I was so sick and so tired I woke up, threw up, and went back to bed, end of story.
So I really don't have much else to say, so I'll tell you about all of the nutty dreams I've been having. Well, not all of them....lol. The first one involved me running around my elementary school in search of the love of my life, his name was Issac. I don't know any guy named Issac. Anyways, I was hunting this guy down, had to stop in my music math class, taught by Mrs. Ester, my 7th grade math teacher. And for those of you who attended Devinny, it was in between the art and music rooms. Anyways, I'm in music math, and Ariel tells me that Issac is deeply in love with me. And I go "OMG!!! I *heart* him too!!!" So I jump up and chase him down, and I find him standing by his dad, and I'm all "Issac, I looooooooooooooooove you." And he's all "I love you too." Then his dad cuts in: "You can't marry my son because you aren't rich." O_O I woke up then.
Ummmm, another weird dream, this was yesterday afternoon, had a fever, was delusional. My parents re-bought our old house (Which was in Littleton) but this time, it was in Grand Lake, it was sort of a house boat. Well, it was weird, I remember asking my mom for a couch in my new room, and I was remeniscing with Hannah about memories that never took place. They involved cherry trees and lightning...That's all I can remember, although I really want that house it was really sweet.
The dream I had last night.......oh. dear. god. It was by far the strangest I have ever had in my life. Pretty much when ever I hear James Blunt, I start cracking up. Hahaha. If you wanna hear it, lemme know, I'll tell you all about it. xD

Another day of Eskimos!!! Woo hoo!! Last night I went to bed feeling way crappy, and woke up feeling pretty much the same, so I wasn't so excited. But after I got up to the mountain it was a lot of fun. Jared and I went to the Jane all day together since Ryan had to be "classified". I got kinda cold, and sorta sad that he was faster than me all day, so we got hot chocolate and ate some lunch. I went to lessons, didn't kill anyone, yay! But we spent like twenty minutes waiting for Jared since he sped ahead and we all just got on the lift, lol. On the way back we stopped at Starbucks and got something to drink then headed for home. Ryan and I listened to the Fray and sorta payed attention to School of Rock. It was rather uneventful.
We dropped everyone off and such, and when we got to my house.........................................I saw that..................................................................... I GOT A CAR!!!!!!!! AGH!!!!!! It's sooo nice, it's an Acura sports car!!! Tecnically it's to "share" but a. Neither my mom or my dad is gonna want to cram into a car like that, and b. my sister's only 14!!! So it's mine baby! WOOOOOOOO. I told Caitlin that right now I'm too happy to be upset that my parents always do this. They say no or something just to "surprise" me later. But right now, I'm alright with that!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

Wind's Nocturne:
Wishing on a dream that seems far off
Hoping it will come today
Into the starlit night
Foolish dreamers turn their gaze
Waiting on a shootin star
But
What if that star is not to come
Will their dreams fade to nothing?
When the horizon darkens most
We all need to believe there is hope
Is an angel watching closely over me?
Can there be a guiding light i've yet to see?
I know my heart should guide me but
Theres a hole within my soul
What will fill this emptiness inside of me
Am I to be satisfied without knowing
I wish then for a chance to see
Now all I need,
Is my star to come...

I went snowboarding yesterday, holy cow, it was amazing!!!! There was very little traffic, the temperature was about 20 degrees higher than it was in Denver, and the snow was fantastic!! Jared, Mitch and I spent the morning in Marry Jane (hehe) and for a while it wasn't that crowded. We decided to go to the summit, and it was so much fun. The first run was really nice it wasn't windy but it was snowing kinda hard, but that was ok, more powder! When we got to the top of the lift the second time, the clouds were sooo cool!! It was really neat. After lunch we went to a lesson and was relatively uneventful, until I hit some ice and lost control of my board and slammed into this kid in the group, who then ran into Mitch who ran into Jared. Oops!! I felt sooo bad. I wanted to like, throw money at this guy, I felt like such a jack ass. Sorry! Umm, after the leson ended we got on the bus and went home. The movie was cars, and it took us 1 and a half hours tops to make it home!!!!! Yay!!!! All in all it was a fun day.
After I got home, I took a shower, ate dinner and went to Lana's house. We read quotes and watched internet cartoons, and some stuff was so incredibly rediculous we were lauging about it for 30 minutes non stop. It was nuts, and sorta pathetic when looking back on it. Heh.
Ummm, I spent today in my pajamas and did homework for a very long time, I just finished and it's 12:30 in the morning. But that just means more time for relaxing tomorrow! Woot. Well I guess that's everything, bye!!

Hrm, so second semester started today...gotta love alliteration. Nothing was too new except for my math, but most of all my French classes. My new math teacher is...quiet, I can't hear anything, and I sit right in front of Krystal, oh dear, it's going to be a long semester. It's definitly not that great having math first, it means I have to do my homework at home!! *Gasp!* I had AP next, and I was able to pull through with the grade I wanted, yay. Seminar wasn't anything new, Caitlin was showing off the EnV she got esterday, and we went to get food...joy. French is now wayyy messed up. Lana is in my class (good thing) and she sits directly behind me. We are writing a fan fic, do not ask, and it was lots of fun, the ideas we came up with, jeeze. But we also combined with the AP kids (bad thing) I don't know how a teacher like Mrs. Henningson will be able to teach her two uppermost levels simoultainiously. It doesn't seem like it would work to me. Ah well, more goof off time I suppose. I have English 4th now, oh dear god. I hate the class, and it's right in the middle of the day, very hard for me to concentrate. Lunch next, had a rather........embarassing moment today....band then colorguard. Sweet. We get to start spinning flags tomorrow. I waited all 7th hour to have a lesson with Gaylene, but she spent the whole time talking to Mr. Gleason who hates all things breathing. I was going to go to my locker and get my stuff so I could go home, but noooo, the damn security guard was being all bitchy "You can't go in there!!! Class is going on!!!." Not for me a-hole. Besides, I always go in to that hall when class is going on, I just grab my stuff and leave, it's not like I was going to light of fireworks or anything. I tried to get Gaylene to give me a pass, she forgot until three minutes until the bell rang *rolls eyes* I guess I can't blame her, she's married to Sullivan and her children are Brandon and Ryan...Ah well. On the way home, I met Mitch and Haley's older brother for like the first time, lol.
In other news, the school has a new match maker, called a computer. *gasp* Last semester we took these surveys to find out who we were "compatible" with. I didn't know we could get them today, nor did I have cash to get the results, lol. I know I'm on one person's list, so that's somewhat....something. I'm just kinda curious to see who showed up on mine.
Oh I'll tell you about my "law breaking actions" that happened last night. I went to go pick up my letter jacket last night, it looks very nice by the way, and as I was parking, I didn't know where the edge of the car was, and I bumped the other one. Let me explain. I normally drive my dad's car, which is an SUV but last night we were in my mom's, a sedan. So obviously there are some constricting size issues, and I didn't know where the corner of the car was. So I hit it, my mom fixed the parking job, we went in, grabbed the jacket and after arugeing I drove home. As I was pulling out I came very close to hitting the damn car again!!!! ARGH! Then I made an illegal right turn trying to exit the parking lot completely blocked by tons of snow and construction. It was very scary and I drove 5 miles under the speel limit the whole way home...oops.
Well, thanks for reading, bye!

Heh, so finals ended today, since they got postponed on account of the snow. (I love how everyone who reads this goes to the same school, yet I still have to let them know we had finals today. But I suppose it's more of a journal, eh?) I had a hard morning, I just could not wake up. Didn't hope I guess that my dad took all the coffee and we had no food I wanted to eat. Ah well, when I got to school, I was still a bit groggy, but that was ok, I didn't have anything to worry about in second period. Although now I know that there are a bunch of assignments Tamby never put into the grade book, so I'm somewhat worried about my grade in that class. My multipal choice test brought it down considerably, and I'm .2 percent from an A. Crap. Well, since it was a "work day" I brought my iPod and towards the end of class, I had the urge to just get up and start dancing. O_o? I suppressed that urge, but it was odd. Honestly, I've always wanted to learn to ballroom dance. I know that sounds pretty girly, but it's true, I'd love to be able just to move like that. It's mesmerizing. Lol. But I like to dance, if I'm not completely alone, although sometimes I'll make a fool of myself. I was sorta thinking of Winterfest, but I don't think many of my friends are going, so maybe not. Argh, random rant, lol.
After AP was over, I took my science test, which was ok. I didn't do as well as I should have, like my history test. The extra credit helped, and I checked my grades, I did fine with the EC. My math final was a breeze!!!! God, algebra is a hell of a lot easier than geometry. *phew* Well, at noon I went home! Yay!
A little while ago, Rachel and Nick, tho I didn't know he was coming, stopped by and I gave Rachel her way overdue X-mas present. Good thats out of my closet now. And my letter jacket is done, yaya!

If you mention the word "bus", I'll have to slap you till your face is blue. I spent somewhere around 10-11 hours on one yesterday. It was the first Eskimo trip (Yay!) so I had to get up early, then we drove to the bus stop and sooch. It was late of course, so we just kinda sat there for a while. Finally we got on, I was able to get a seat next to Colleen and we left. The movie was Angels in the Outfeild. Ugh, not to mention Matt, the leader of the druggies, kept walking around begging for money to get high. And traffic was a b****, it took us approx. two and a half hours to get to Winter Park. They also changed the place where all the buses park, and the driver got lost trying to find it, then we had to walk a very long ways, I don't think anyone was happy with that at all. Finally, after first waiting for Jared and then for my sister, and a very long line. The snow on the other hand was really pretty good, they had just gotten 5.5 inches, veddy nice. Since we got up there so late tho, we had about an hour before we had to go to lunch at the base, so combined with lift lines, that meant maybe 3 runs? While at lunch I ran into Kevin Bodkin, we talked about school for a while, then he had to go. I got a voicemail informing me that there had been an avalance!! God, of all days. Although then, no one really quite understood the turmoil that it would bring later. As we left to go to lessons or whatever, I reached across the table and grabbed my water bottle, but the little kid it was next to was all "Umm....that's my water?" So I was sorta confused, thinking where the heck is mine?? I found it, felt like a dumbass, and then we left. Of course, our instructor was Pink. Not the actual one, but the crazy wannabe. She seriously is nuts. Halfway down the first run, our group got separated because as Mitch later put it she "took off like a bitch." (Lmao, I thought that was funny). So Jared and I were with the other instructor. Near the end the a-holes from our el buso found us, Hayden started talking to me, but thank god he was the only one. He's an ok guy sometimes, he's funny, and I'm not gonna say he's ugly, but he can be a jerk too, don't get me wrong. So Jared and I went down, found Mitch, I bought a brownie, and we walked the very long way back to the bus. We sat there for a while, then the most irritating thing that whole trip happened: Jared's uncle came and took him off the bus so he didn't have to ride back. Oh I was so mad! So we sat there for an hour and finally left. Mitch and I conversed for prolly about half the way through by texting, even tho we sat three rows apart because everyone was being sooo loud. The trip back was nothing short of hell. Matt and Hayden and other kids were being really annoying, Colleen kept friggin groping my face and and just annoying me, lol. She would not let me sleep at all! My phone died around 8:30, so I couldn't talk to anyone that way, and just agh!! We were gonna stop some place in Silverthorne to eat, but Mike wouldn't let us, so then I had to listen to everyone whine about that too. It was torture. By the time we got off of the bus, it was ten till eleven!!!!! 8 hours on that bus just coming home! Uggggh I'm gonna stab Jared. When I finally got home, I ate some spaghetti, because my parents were shocked they couldn't order a pizza that time at night...O_O. I just fell asleep and didn't wake up until twelve this afternoon. And that was my ordeal, only didn't feel like reliving it and telling you all of the details that occured between 3 and 11 PM. So ttyl! Bye
LE*A picture of the avalanch that caused all that pain and suffering on mine and my friends' parts.

Somethin' freaky was going on with my internet connection, so I haven't been able to post for a few days. Sorry, so anyways, here's what I did on New Years!
I woke up and did nothing special whatsoever. I guess I just sorta lounged around for a bit. Lindsey called me and asked if, after we left Ben's if I wanted to go spend the night with the rest of the girls. I had to beg my mom, since she's all uptight and hates sleepovers, but she let me go. So again, waiting to leave, I played lazy. My mom had to drive Hannah to her friend's house, so I went with her because I needed to get some stuff from the store. After we dropped her off, I went to Safeway and picked up all the things I needed, along with a Venti coffee!!! I figured I'd need it. I got home and made guacamole to take to Ben's, that no one ate! Oh well, I thought it was good anyways. Around 8ish, my dad came home from his New Years party to take me to Ben's house. I had to drop off some stuff at Lindsey's and she seemed a little surprised I was there, even though I called her about 1 minute before I left my house. I arrived at Ben's, only after stepping in a giant mound of snow, and we hung around a bit for Lindsey and Audrey to arrive. We were going to trick them when they got there, so we turned out the lights and ran outside, on my way out however, I slipped and fell. I don't know exactly what happened, I just toppled over. So then we turned off everything, and hid in the kitchen. Ben said that if he knew Lindsey she would just let herself in regardless of if the lights were out or not. As soon as he said that, she and Audrey just walked in. Lol. So after they got settled we played the game Dirty Minds. It was a lot of fun, except the rules were so confusing we just decided to read the clues and see if anyone could guess what it was. Tee Hee. I played Mario Cart on Ben's DS for a little bit and then it was like ten till twelve. So we got out the last of 4 bottles of the sparkling cider, since Lindsey had convinced us to drink the rest all before hand, and ran outside. We had just a few poppers, but that was it, Molly had left everything at Brandon Shadley's house. But that was basically it. We helped Ben clean up then walked to the McSwain residence. Once we got to Lindsey's house we stayed up talking until 5:30 in the morning! We were in her room first and played a game called Scategories. We were going to chalk Ben's house, since there was too much snow to actually do much else, but her mom wouldn't let us leave since it was too icy out. However around 1, the guys "silly stringed" the McSwain house, but it was sooo lame. Alex claimed they had two points to the girls' one point when they teepeed Ben's house last year (Sadly I wasn't there.) But we told him that they had .25 points, since the Hershey kiss incident doesn't count, it was like 4 years ago, and the silly string job was soooo bad, it was only worth 1/4 of a point! Lindsey also bribed her sister with a quarter to clean it up. Around 2:30 we went down to the basement and talked for the rest of the time. Audrey fell asleep early, but Amy, Molly, Lindsey and I were wide awake. Finally it was time for everyone to go to sleep, but I just couldn't it really sucked. Oh well. Later in the morning we all got up and ate coffee cake, watched a James Blunt concert on PBS.
I arrived home to my mom taking down the Christmas tree, and I took a nap for like 4 hours. Woke up later and ate some food, and then watched a bunch of television. Around 10 I tried to go to sleep, but I just couldn't. I eventually feel asleep at 2 and woke up at 6 to go skiing. I was sooooo tired all day yesterday, I had been running on 9 hours of sleep for two days, then added a large energy requirement. Driving home I almost had to just pull over and make my dad drive, but I made it ok. Went to bed at a better time last night!! I have some pictures from Ben's, here you go:
This is Alex's celebrity smile, we just can't figure out who it belongs to.
Heh, yeah, forgot to rotate this one, lol
Molly: I'm gonna break that camera
Ben sees eggnog for the first time!! And Amy's here too...
Amy: OHHH!! It bubbles!!!
I think Lindsey should model for the Martinelli company, don't you?
Oh snap!
Audrey and Lindsey
Amy and I
Molly prefers lime chips to cranberry sparkling cider
Girls with the *fake* booze!
