goood weekend.

pretty boring weekend overall, but nothing bad.
friday night..hung with my sister.
saturday...went out to FINALLY get a christmas tree. of course, i went to the place where all the milton soccer team was working! britain and bridget def helped me pick out my tree, it was sweet. (might i add eric snacked on the food..the whole time. hahah. but i got to see maria! yay.) came home...sat around until 5 when i had to go babysit..2 sets of twins, wahoooo. they're actually very sweet.
sunday..got woken up by buglette, then did homework. kristy came over whooo!!!! bunch of fun. watched the OC, our weekly tradition. then we went to kristys and listened to her sister complain and made christmas cards and read 1984. (which is still the most awful book over.)



please, tell me what to write.
because i have nothing.

`Tis The Season To Be Jolly

so another friday night where i sat at home with my sister.
YEAH. i'm my own hero.
oh well, been on the phone for a while. and been having a lovely conversation with my love zach on im for a bit...."zach: every day i wake up thinking..i wish i could be kristen sooo much, and when i look in the mirror and im not im like "FCK!". wow what would i do without my swimming children?
random pictures from tonight.

(slightly?) infamous sock picture.

BUGLETTE!!! omg.

don't ask.

yeah okay. so basically bug cant take pictures

YAYY my sister.

yeahhhh..okay.

after standing on your head for 5 minutes,
your head hurts like no other.
don't believe me? try it.

jealous.



up up and awayy?
okay. so i'm mental&stuff.
but i was bored.

BUG

oooh. pretty.

(semi-demented) peace + keyboard

YAAA NIGHT TIME TYLENOL COLD.
that's what i'm talking about.

YEAH OKAY. so maybe if my family actually BOUGHT a Christmas tree. we're probably the most un-festive people on the block. my mom even asked me if we could "play Jewish" this year and not get a tree. (which i did not find particularly amusing?). the only place in the whole house with decorations is my room. wait..mine and my sisters. thats how we roll.
kay. this was a stupid entry. oh well.
night<3

16 days until christmas.

okay, so i'm home sick,
and i've had nothing better to do all day besides look at xangas, read 1984 (wow. just..wow. i pity whoever else reads this book. the overall message isn't bad, but if orwell would just condense everything so it was maybe comprehendable...), and watch a billion consecutive hours of americas next top model (which, contrary to my ideas, is surprisingly a very entertaining show). hope everyone had fun at school today. my mom keeps trying to feed me soup, which does not make me feel better. soup=no good. unless it's chicken and stars (yeah, immaturity is cool).
so um, basically i have nothing to write about. had to miss weight training this morning for lax, blah. i actually was looking forward to waking up and going to school at 6:30 (no, i'm serious.) had to miss swimming last night because of sickness, and not sure if i'll be well enough to make it there tonight. i hope so!
random pictures from today...i got bored?

jealous.

out the window?

out another window.

so i basically rock at putting up christmas lights while being on the phone.
(sarcasm.)

favorite thing in the whole house, my heater.
it looks small...trust me, it's a beast. burned me a few times.

piano? sure.

yeah for snowman lights

this is what happens when i get sick and decide to clean out my backpack.
yeahhhh.

why yes, 1984 and Animal Farm both deserve to vanish off the face of the earth!
yeah, so thats what happens when i get bored.
10 minutes until everyones out of school.
more later!
<3

What does it mean to be a swimmer?
Someone who swims down and back in a pool a couple of times is nothing more than someone who swims. Even if the person has a coach, attends practices, even races now and then, he or she is still just a person who swims. Being a swimmer means much more. Swimmers are fierce competitors, almost obsessive perfectionists, suckers for punishment, role models, teammates, and hundreds of other things all in one. The question is, why do some people simply go through the motions of swimming, while others embrace every aspect of being a swimmer - from the solitary hours in the pool, to the thrill of laying it on the line, to the rush of victory and the agony of defeat. What drives us to wake up and roll out of our warm beds when the alarm starts to screech, rather than hitting the snooze button or simple turning it off? We all have our own reasons, but in the purest sense, we are committed - to ourselves, to our teammates, to our coaches, and to our goals. For me, the honest answer is that I am in love with the sport. There is no place I feel more comfortable than in the water, as it swirls around me, holding me suspended, propelling me forward. Water is my element. _Dana Kirk

okay. well i don't have anything eles to write.
CANT WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS JE:LRKYJE:RUKLJLKERY!!!!
