Age is Just a Number.

Or so it would seem.

BUT

At 15 can you get a legit job? NO.

Can you get a license? NO.

UGHHHH

I'm so jealous of everyone who has those two things.

Is it crime for a young girl to want to work? No.

Oh well, for now I can work on grades.

Yeah right....

I hate school. Well, I hate homework. And school work. So I guess I hate everything about it.

Except for friends. And cute boys. :)

Today Sara, Blake, and I hit up the gym. Haha apparently Blake does NOT do well when left alone.

She is hilarious when she freaks out.

We are making this a daily routine. Hoo-Shaw! :)

Frosted Flakes are delicious. And they are yummy on casserole.

Oh man

I think I'll go grab some casserole...

I have such big plans for life.

I cannot wait until I get older. Life is so....exciting. So much more is out there besides high school. But we all must pay our dues.

I think I just may pass algebra this year.

I mean, I still suck at tests, but I am actually doing homework. Except for tonight. I'm not doing that stupid worksheet. And the group I sit by doesn't make me want to kill myself anymore...haha Some freshman I can handle. Some I cannot.

I love sweat pants.

My body is kicking itself's ass lately.

Seriously, I don't understand why the cold/flu was invented, but it needs to leave.

I know like 12 million bajillion americans probably have the cold right now, but this cold feels extra-crappy.

I complain too much I've recently realized.

I had a dream I was on Gossip Girl last night. Pretty sweet dream. And I had an iphone...

Well, I guess I am rambling too much. I feel like I never have something meaningful to write about anymore.

I really want to become an author. I think that would make a wonderful career choice for me. 

Ta Ta America

My nose is broken.

Well, that's not true.
But my nose is running alot today.
Plus a reeeeally bad cough, and headaches and bodyaches.
So I'm doing swell.

Today has been so tiresome, and I did almost nothing.
And I really want nothing more than a hot shower and my bed, but of course I have homework.
Woooo

I need to change the wallpaper back on my phone, but Gundy's foot being there is pretty funny, though.

Music is great.
This is just about the lamest blog I have ever written.
So, what a great time to post it.

Growing up is great.

Really, it is.

And I am completely not being sarcastic, either.

It is so crazy that in a few short years we will all be on our own, leading our own lives, and making decisions that will forever be with us.

I spend so much of my time planning on what I will do in college, where I will travel, what my career will be, but I never really take time to realize that sooner than I know, high school will be over, and real life will start.

Although I cannot wait for that day, it also scares the crap out of me.

But as of today I have decided to treat every day as an adventure.

And trust me, it's hard to do this when you are in WASL week. Standardized testing can do some crazy things to the brain...

Seriously, though, life is so exciting.

We are all so young. We have 70...80... heck even 90 years left of life, and we are just starting.

Some of us could be millionaires, movie stars, peace activists, authors, or life-saving surgeons. 

It is really completely up to us. I don't know about you, but I want the best life I can possibly lead. And even though it seems like you have the worst life, just remember, no one can technically stop you from reaching your goals. 

Right now I have no clue where life will take me, but I know it will involve travel. Lots and lots of travel.

It's just this feeling inside I get where I know I need to travel the world.

I know what I want to do with the rest of my life has to do with the rest of the world.

Backpacking, traveling abroad, semesters at sea... you name it, I want to do it.

It's just nice knowing no matter what I do, I'm gonna make something out of my life.

But I am starting to realize how important a hometown is, and how great my family and friends and home are.

Battle Ground may be getting bigger, but it was defiantly my very first hometown. After moving 11 times, it's nice to have someplace where I know everyone.

SCUBA diving is another thing I just want to do with my life.

I have been looking at marine biology schools, and scuba places and it just works for my life.

I also love that my parents are supportive of my big plans.

So, on that note, I hope you all do what you want in life. There are so many opportunities available to us, and you can't just let them pass by. Think of your biggest dream, and go for it.

Seriously, it may sound corny, but you are going to regret not living it up.

So what if you take a year to go backpacking in Europe, and come back broke? At least you will have great memories.

Do what you want and what feels right.

Watch out world, the new generation is coming in.

 

Summer Fake-Out is Wonderful.

It's almost 80 degrees, sunny, and awesome.

Sure, it may not be summer, but it feels like it.

What a great welcome home present from Mother Nature.

It feels good to be home. Even though it seems I am always trying to leave, I do love Battle Ground.

But, there is no doubt in my mind I am going to Hawaii as soon as I am done with community college, or whatever.

I was talking to my dad about it at lunch today and he said he really wants my sister and I to go there during college, and he said there is a good possibility of my mom and dad moving out there when we graduate, which is awesome.

I need some more 80 degree weather.

And all I can think about lately is the ocean, sharks, and scuba diving.

Call me a nerd, but if I could live underwater, I would. (As long as I had Greys Anatomy and Lost on DVD)

The ocean was great this weekend, but I need something I can swim in.

So, cars. They are wonderful. Almost being sixteen means almost getting a car.

Which is exciting since most of my best friends have one.

It kind of sucks when both of your best friends are 17, since you get left behind in the whole car thing.

Whoa, It just hit me Brooke is 17, and I met her when I was 12.

Growing up is crazy.

Anyway, back to cars. I am addicted to getting stuff for my car, and I don't even have one yet.

This weekend I bought one of those tacky, "I heart my Pomeranian" bumper stickers I swore I would never buy. But what can I say, I'm a sucker for my dog.

I think it will be a nice addition to my, "I brake for Jake the Alligator Man" bumper sticker.

:)

I was reading at Marsh's Free Museum that some lady started this Jake the Alligator Man fan club, and anyone she sees with a Jake bumper sticker, she will give $5 to.

It pays to love fake alligator people.

So, we left mystery hot skateboard boy at the beach. But it was for the best. Haha

I don't even really like skateboarders.

Well, not the gross emo, skinny pants, slicked over hair type. 

I don't even think I have a "type". Well, that's not true. I'm a sucker for nerds.

Seriously, I don't know why. I HATE HATE jocks. Sports are fine with me, but big-headed  (and big shouldered) football players are such a turn-off.

I just like boys who are funny, smart, nerdy, and cute.

IS THAT SO HARD TO FIND? Not really, it's just I cant talk to any boy I think is attractive, since I am lame.

It would just be nice for me to be good around guys for once, or for just have ONE guy like me.

I wonder if it is possible to be single until you are 112...

Well, I have an eye twitch, so that's great.

Probably from stress, which I didn't think I had, and the fact that I have a had a piece of hair near my eye for like an hour.

I hate eye twitches. 

I used to get them really bad 2 years ago, like they would last for a month or two.

No fun, no fun at all.

I think tonight I will listen to music, daydream, read, and not do homework.

Sounds swell.

Ode to the Beach.

I've been in Longbeach, (Well, technically Ocean Park, in Surfside) now since Wednesday, and let me tell you, I am having a wonderful time. My family and I have come to decide we are beach people, there is no way around it.
Probably since my parents have always lived near a beach of some sort, and my dad did grow up in Hawaii...

Today I went go-carting again, which is one of my favorite things in the world. Seriously.
It was my dad, sister, and I against 2 other teen girls, and 5 boys our age, that came in from 2 different groups.
I was neck and neck with 2 boys who came together like the whole time, but I was behind most of the way. Then, one of the kids carts died in the middle of the track so I just laughed and passed him, but the other kid it wasn't so easy. Every time I would try and take a corner, he would swerve in front, but it was funny because he kept looking back. Finally, he cut a corner too sharp and hit the tires, and I sped up in front of him and kicked his ass. Final Score: Men-0 Women-1.

We have also been to Marsh's a bunch since that place never gets old. There was some little 4 year old girl in there, and I just wanted to smack her upside the head. Some kids really do need to be told to shut up. And her little brother looked like the kind of kid who would kill you in your sleep if you weren't careful. I know that sounds awful, but these kids were weird.

There is some gorgeous mystery skater around town, and Sara and I are in love with him. He has blonde, curly hair, and he is super tan, with really hot facial hair.
Oh my God, we were like dying. And we have seen him in 2 different towns, which is crazy. He is soooo yummy oh my. He looks like he grew up in Hawaii as a surfer. (Need I mention any more reasons why I decided a while ago Hawaii is where I will be going to college??)

The pool here has sooo much chlorine its intense. The first night some guy at the pool told us his kid was crying because the hot tub had too much in it, and everyone got burned, and people's swim suits were ruined. Although none of that happened to us, I do think I will have that smell of chlorine permanently in my skin. But it is a great smell.

Well, I think Sara and I are going to go watch a movie or something, and enjoy our wonderful beach time.
I miss everyone in Battle Ground.
By the way, I hate the shift key on my mom's laptop. SO MUCH.

Smile, It's a Short Week.

For me, anyways.

Watch out beach, here I come.

I'm only going to school for two, count em, two periods tomorrow.

Photo and PE which I can totally handle.

Then, It's beach-bound for me.

Speaking of photography, I love the picture I developed today.

It was for our group project, and I was developing the one of Sarah from our group blowing a pinwheel, and it was perfect.

I don't even remember if I took it, but it looks great.

Probably too gray, or not enough black, but whatever, I love it.

Photo isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Plus, I get to keep the camera from Wednesday to Monday, so there will be plenty of photo opps.

So, life has been pretty great this week.

Except for the freaky foot/toe cramp I have had for like 4 hours.

I think I may have frostbite or they may need to amputate.

Either way my foot hurts so bad.

Diet Coke is delicious, by the by.

Today at CASEE went by super slow compared to yesterday.

But Blake always seems to make the time go by faster seriously

I would die without our notes and Ed and his "love belt" and cough drops.

And we always always talk about boys

and how they are dumb, and gorgeous.

I'm liking her suggestion a whole lot about Mr. Fabio.

:)

Seriously I love this asian.

Boy update time I guess.

Still single.

But I now I have a kinda new crush

Well, I barely know this guy

and I never talk to him, so how would I really know if I like him?

It's just kind of lame.

I seriously am soooo over just having crushes.

Would it kill anyone to just let me have a freaking boyfriend for once?

My toe is still cramping...

Someone get the saw...

I guess I'm kind of just rambling, so this is probably where this blog entry should end.

Have fun being stuck in Battle Ground, I'm headed to the Beach.

:)
