It snowed Sunday night into Monday morning, so no school! And for a legit reason, too. I spent the time mostly with AJ. We messed around in the neighborhood for a while with Sydney, who is apparently extremely hyper when it snows. We had a small snowball fight around AJ while he was trying to clean off his truck, haha. I miss the days when a bunch of kids could have a street snowball fight. Ah,well.

Then we went to Kyle's house, where we learned that everyone had apparently ditched us. SuZZ called AJ, and we were like, "Where are you ?" But they eventually came back, and we watched the second Narnia movie, Prince Caspian. So that wasn't so bad, after all.

AND THEN! Ryan tried to initiate a small movie night, but Kyle and John could not come. I hadn't driven much all day, so I think Mom took pity and let me go even though it was a school night. I brought Katie along, but it ended up being just me, her, and Ryan himself. We watched An American Carol, which was entertaining, and then we watched disturbing videos on the internet, and then I took her home and went to sleep.

Lots of names dropped in this entry, huh?

Hey-o.

All this week the weather guy's been telling us that we'd get snow on Friday and Saturday. Frankly, we've heard this before. So we didn't believe him.

When he changed the prediction to "winter mix" we just laughed because we realized that was probably more accurate.

No basketball game this morning because the roads are icy. Which means no drivings, which means no out-of-neighborhood friends and no movies with pretty girls.

Ironically, today is the first day in my entire life that I've been allowed by Mom to walk out of the neighborhood and down the road. The day when it's icy. Who would've figured. I walked down to the middle school with AJ and Sydney. The school is in some sort of depression, so it's surrounded by hills that make sweet sled spots. The terrible notsnow was actually good for sledding...at first I couldn't stay on the dang thing, but eventually I managed to get ALMOST the farthest. We actually ran into the school itself, a few times.

I was wearing my new MIT hoody because it fits me the best and also I like it a lot, and RIGHT when I was about to leave, I said, "Hey, (AJ's dad,) what if I just jumped onto this boogeyboard?" I mean, it was sitting right at the edge of the slope. Poised. Waiting. So I jumped onto it.

I missed.

So I jumped again, and slid halfway down the hill before I flipped over.

Bad News:
There was a rusty metal stake hidden in the snow.
It punctured a hole RIGHT through my MIT hoody. D:
It also slashed at my elbow a bit. Hello, tetanus.

Good News:
Mom sort of maybe fixed the tear.
Somehow, even though the metal broke my skin, it didn't tear the sweater I was wearing under MIT. (just left a bit of mud, go figure)
I got my tetanus shot a few years ago.

I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow. I have a test to study for...but there's no church or youth group so I have the entire day to fill.

Speaking of which. This whole "maybe relationship" thing (nobody here should know what I'm talking about, so don't feel left out) is bothering me. It's the same old thing again: To be, or not to be? So much to consider...

Oh, and about my last post. There is a nice older lady, who I know of but do not know personally, who to my surprise I found to be reading my blog. Not just reading it, but scrounging through it with a passion. I'm not going to get into WHY she was reading it, but as far as I am concerned it's a weeeeeny bit invasive and really really creepy. I mean, this IS public domain, so I have it coming. But, still, this is for me, my friends, and people who might be interested in my ideas. And she is none of the above. Of course, as egocentric as I am, I couldn't help but gloat a little tiny bit at her because I found her out almost without any help from her. So that's what that was. Me being conceited. Actually that's what I'm doing right now too.

So, if you do read this...um...sorry for making fun of you? Maybe? I dunno. I think it's fair. It's what I would expect from me if I was you.

Wait what.



This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums. Thats right. An entire album that I enjoy immensely. Go figure.

"One voice inside
(I know who you are)
One feeling you hide
(This is the season of denial)
You're in control
(Don't ask me how I am)
Your cracks start to show
(There's someone laughing from afar)

Turn around and face the darker side of you
(The one you hide)
Turn around the face the damage that you do
(In the season of denial)

Too cold to feel
(I know what you've done)
In motion surreal
(This is the season of the hollow)
Who are you now?
(I am for you to name)
You're on your way down
(You're somewhere very close to hell)

Turn around and face the darker side of you
(The one you hide)
Turn around the face the damage that you do
(In the season of denial)

I will remember you
Keep the pain alive
A vision of black and blue
Fading into white

I will remember you
Keep the pain alive
A vision of black and blue
Fading into white

A weight of years... before the storm begins
Saturate the rain-dark sky
Wake in fear and face the dream that might have been
The dream you still deny

You don't remember when, you don't remember where
A faded stranger in a photograph
Half-seen faces whisper shapeless unaware
Silent echoes of what's come to pass

You know you can't return, you know you can't relive
As you wasted wreckage falls apart
Familiar places where you know must have been
In your heart of darkest hearts

I will remember you
Keep the pain alive
A vision of black and blue
Fading into white

I will remember you
Keep the pain alive
A vision of black and blue

One voice inside
One feeling you hide
Turn around and face the darker side of you
(The one you hide)
Turn around the face the damage that you do
Turn around the face the damage that you do
Turn around the face the damage that you do"

Last night we had a lock in at youth group, where basically everyone got together, horsed around, ice skated, watched movies, etc. It was fantastic. Like a big sleepover.

I'm sooooo sore.

First we exerted ourselves in the gym playing dodge ball and the like. My night of soreness started when I slipped on the ground, landed on my knee, slid a few feet, and hit the wall with the same knee.

Stupid golf shoes. Idon't even play golf.

Then, after a few games, we drove to an ice skating rink, where we played broom hockey in our shoes and then just skated around in blades. I sort of quit broom hockey because I kept falling and I got hit in the throat, of all places, with a stick. Don't ask.

The skating was so much fun that I grabbed my camcorder and skated with it in my hand, and I didn't fall once. Took me a few minutes to get back into the swing of things, and my leg muscles aren't used to that particular workout.

THEN, we drove back, and I played four 3 on 3 games of basketball. By the last game, I couldn't jump anymore because every time I did both my calves cramped. This was about 3 in the morning, haha. After that I played a full game of...Phase 10. Whoo!

And I haven't slept since 6:50 yesterday morning. I refuse to take a nap today, so that my sleep is that much more satisfying. Bed early for me!

I dunno if my body will let me, though. Especially my legs. They feel good and dead...
