Wake me up Wake me up inside. I can't wake up Wake me up inside. Save me Call my name and save me from the dark.
I love the Boulder County swim meet! It really is a good meet- especially when you swim well, like I did. Best times, all the way around, and a super fast split in the 4x100 relay at the end. Super super fast- 54.2 I think. That's really fast, in case you were wondering. "Tenacious" is the adjective the Daily Camera used to describe it. Too bad I didn't swim that fast in my individual, or I would have won. I admit, I wanted to win, if only to have "Bo Co Champion" on my banner, but second is perfectly acceptable. I lost my Champ hat, though, I certainly hope that it is at SBRC, because if it isn't, I'll be most distraught. MY CHAMP HAT, alas! Woe is me. Why did I lose it?
Heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be alright Heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be alright
I am so terribly bad at being mean to people. I can't even attempt to describe it. Well, actually, I can be mean, that's a lie. I can be mean in the insulting people jokingly/not-really-a-joke kind of way. But I can't command authority and force people to do things. Which is completely different than being mean. SO I retract my previous statement
I tried to call Carey last night and yell at her to do her story for newspaper, and it ended with me feeling terrible and on the verge of tears and Carey coming up with a perfectly good excuse for not doing in the last month. I really should work on this skill. How am I going to get anywhere if I can't be authoritative? I just don't know.
I drove my sister to school today, even though I have 1st off. So I slept in the back of my dad's van this morning. It was pretty great. I have such crazy dreams when I'm napping/not staying in REM for very long. And recently, I've been having these dreams that I fall out of bed, and wake up because I spazz in bed. It makes me feel like an idiot, but what can I do? Not a lot. Not a lot at all.
Say this 10 times fast: I neither say neither nor either, either That doesn't really work when you write it down. But prounouce one neither one way, and the other the other way. You know "neether" or "nIther" and "EEther" or "Ither".
The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other's welcome,
And say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was yourself. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.
Derek Walcott
What a great poem. The best we've read in LA. Especially after all those Shakespearean sonnets. "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" No. No, you shall not. I like spring days better, anyway, thanks for asking. =) That's what I would say to that darn William. Not that I dislike him. Hamlet was great. Kinda. I'd rather read, well, something else.
And a soul for every cowboy. And a star to guide him home. And an angel to bring him, A song to sing when he's alone.
Remind me again how much I love cruises. Oh wait! I know already! Is it possible I've only been in school for one day since break? It seems like weeks.
School wasn't all that bad, besides, of course, the fact that it was school. We didn't do anything in my classes besides review of everything I forgot the last two weeks and talk about finals. Seeing the people I'm used to seeing every day, but hadn't seen for 15, was nice. Carey and Joy and Emily and Kels and Meghan and Billy and Justin and Lynn and Bonnie and Eryn and Devon. So I had a bit of fun. Still a bummer I'm in Boulder, not the Cayman Islands. =) But, I'll get over it in a little bit... maybe.
I should really stop complaining, shouldn't I?
Tomorrow is dress like a pirate day for our swim team. Because we have a meet. Against Cherry Creek, nonetheless, which is the best team in the state. No one can touch Cherry Creek. They've got two girls nationally ranked, and four All Americans. We've got four Academic All Americans. HA! Beat that you lousy Warriors. Wish us luck. I hope we don't get creamed.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne?
Happy New Year! Gosh 2006 already? That's kinda scary. I graduate high school in 2006. yips
People should remind me every now and then how much I love cruises! We went on our first one today- it was one of the best vacations I've ever had. It was amazing. The food, the people, the sunsets, the ocean!, the scuba diving, the waiters, the movies, the shows, the games, man! It was great. I was so depressed yesterday when we were leaving. Mags and I came up with multiple ways to stay on the ship, but for naught- we got off anyone, and loaded onto the bus back to the airport. It was very sad. BUT I HAD SO MUCH FUN! EVERYONE should go on a cruise. It's amazing. One of the best things is eating at the same time and table every night. We had the same waitress, Sara from Romania, and junior waiter every night. It was really cool to get to know them. Granted, it made me feel like a spoiled, ungrateful pig, but they were very nice. Ah. I'll miss Sara and Allan. Angie and Maggie and I commented how we didn't make any friends besides the crew- multiple waiters, a few cruise directors, Maggie and I claimed we were friends with the entertainers- but we never talked to them. Oh well! I love crusies. I really really want to go on another one!
And thanks to Maggie, Ellen and Ang for making me laugh SO much!
