blog responce

I am against the action the government has taken to prevent gay marriage. I feel that it is wrong for them to decide what is moraly right and moraly wrong. I think the best way to change this is to leave it alone for a little while because I can tell that people are not ready for something different. Another way would be to show that differences can be okay and help poeple be more open minded. It think that martin luther king would support my ideas because he belives in equal freedoms.

Blog responce

A situation I would die for is if I had a kid and they were in life threatening danger. If someone was to go after my kid I would protect them as much as I could. Even if it ment me dieing in the process.

rumors response

When I heard A rumor I think about the person they are talking about and who is telling you the rumor. No matter what even if I know the rumor is true I wont pass it on. Most of the time the things you hear around school arn't true or are things that really don't matter or effect you in anyway.

NCIS

There have been many shows that I have gotten addicted to and not been able to stop watching, and right now NCIS is my current addiction. I used to love watching CSI, and if you liked CSI I'll bet you'll love NCIS. It's kind of like CSI but the main character is just like house, and the cases are cooler because it's Navy CSI. I would recommend checking it out, its on all the time.

Poker Night

On night when My dad, his friend Kevin, Shay and I were at my dads house the discussion of poker came up. Shay and I said that we didnt know how to play and would love to learn, so my Dad and Kevin got out the poker chips and a deck of cards. It was so much fun! We spent the night talking, listening to old music, learning poker, and drinking root beer while my Dad and Kevin drank beers. After that fun night poker night became an every other weekend event. I love it so much and I'm always inviting people to come play and easy and fun round of poker at my dads. I guess it'sd like a bonding thing.

Next year!

Were going to be juniors! It seems like were growing up so fast! I'm excited for next year but at the same time I'm nervous! I decided to talk both AP classes so I'm hoping it's a challenge, but one that I can handle. And after next year were going to be seniors! High school is leaving fast! But I have had a really great first half with all of my class and I bet next year will be just as fun!

I'm So Excited!

Last summer I put in an application to be a volunteer at Kaiser and they told me that it would take about 6 months before i got a call. So about two weeks ago I got a letter in the mail that said to call if I was still interested and I did, I also went into their office to make sure they knew that I was. Today they called me! The lady who called set up an interview with me and I'm going there on Monday to talk to her and see if I can get the volunteer job! Its like a candy striper kind of thing, I would get to go talk to all of the patients who are there and bring them flowers and stuff. I hope I get it!

Prom

Prom sounds like so much fun! For everyone whose going I hope you have loads of fun! I was going to go but decided not to, and my mom said I couldn't. But I'm most likely going to do sara's make up and Shay and Tiffany may come over to do their hair so I still feel involved! I noticed that this year a lot of freshmen girls got asked to prom and were going to go, some are still going but some aren't. I think it's cool that our school is so open to different things, in some schools people might have felt weird asking a freshmen to prom, I like that about or school.

AP English

I cant decide if I should take it or not. I'v been hearing mixed opinions. Some people have told me its a lot of writing but it is all worth it, and others have been saying not to take it. Im up for a challenge and I love to write but turning in things on time is sometimes a problem for me. what has everyone els heard about it? Is it worth learning everything for collage? Or should I just take it senior year?

Prop 8: Supreme court

Im so upset with the decision! I cant belive that our government would decide to not give equal rights like that! Thus is just my personal opinion, but after prop 8 was sent to the supreme court I thought that for sure it was not going to pass. I really hope the mayor of S.F. keeps on fighting this. I even sent him an E-mail, if you want to too google San Francisco Mayors home page, thats how I found it.

Science Fair?

One of my teachers is making my class do a science fair. I haven't done a science fair since the 8th grade. In one way I'm a little excited because I don't really get a chance to do that many projects that involve a poster. I think the most projects and presentations I did were in elementary school. All of the practice made it fun to do the next project and presentation, but now its just a chore. I keep putting it off and being unmotivated and now when I have to do a presentation I freeze up and get nervous. I'm not sure why that is?

Who Are You?

You can know a person for years without really knowing them. There could be a person, wether it's a sister, brother, best friend, boyfriend, or any other title a person could have in your life who you believe you know down to the core of their being. You may see them every day or every week and you and this person get along great and tell secrets to each other. Then in some relationships their comes a time where one person, or both peoples, realize a characteristic that is strong in that person that you didn't quite notice before. Sometimes its brought on by something happening in your life or the other persons life. For a best friend it could be a new boyfriend, new fiends, or new family situations. For boyfriends it maybe an argument, something mean they said to you, a rumor you heard, or going "the next step in your relationship." Or with family it maybe just that your growing as a person and they're growing as people, and you learn new things about each other that you've never known your whole life.
Whatever and whoever it maybe its always a hard thing to accept that a person you've loved and cared for isn't quite who you thought they were. Some relationships end, but other people are determined to keep the relationship alive and work through it, talk, adjust. While some people never experience this in a relationship and continue having a fabulous one

Woman In an Ice Cream Shop

On Mothers Day I went to Kelly Park with my mom, aunt, and grandma, to go look at a small exhibit on World War 2. We walked through the exhibit and I loved talking to my grandma about things that she experienced during the time of the war. I learned a lot of new things that I had never known my grandma had gone through. 
After we were done walking through the exhibit and talking we went to get ice cream at a small shop in the park. After we had ordered a woman asked "can you pleas had me some napkins, thank you." I grabbed the napkins, looked down to hand them to her and saw and older woman maybe in her 60's in an electric wheelchair with a neck brace on. My family and I went to sit and eat the ice cream and when all of the large groups of people left I realized that that woman come there alone. I could see her sitting across the room staring off into space. I looked at her for a while and noticed that she had the kind of brace you get when you sprain or break your wrist, and she had one for each wrist. She just sat their for while after finishing her ice cream thinking, staring off into space. 
Seeing her made me sad at first to think that an old woman in an electric wheelchair with braces on each wrist and one for her neck was sitting in an ice cream parlor alone on mothers day. As I thought about her more I decided that I admired her independence and determination. To be honest if i was her physical situation I would have sat at home, sulked, and done nothing. But this on woman, who I knew nothing about and said maybe two words to has such incredible strength and will to rise above self- pity and continue enjoying her life no matter what her circumstances are.

Poetry slam

I'm really excited about going to the poetry slam this year. I went last year just because i didn't really have anything els to do and it was really cool. I think the best performances were the ones where people didnt just stand on the stage and read their peom off of a paper but instead they got up and gave a performance. I thought that one poem that that one guy read "there once was a cat.. who got hit by a bat... the end" was funny, but i can't help but ask how he got on the stage. Was there another person who couldn't go up because he went?

dance

The dance was very fun! I didn't really want to go but once I got there and saw everyone I was very happy I went! I think this was the most fun dance this year. The others were fun too but it was just nice to not have to wear a dress. ITs fun to get dressed up but I guess im just more comfortable in normal cloths.

French Projects

I think that out of all of the teachers I have had at Gunderson, my french techer give me the most projects that I have to present in front of the class. All of the information that I need to put on to my poster is usualy pretty easy to find and usualy easy to translate into french. I really dont like persenting it though. She makes me feel so nervouse. Sometimes, when shes in a good mood she will sit back and let you do your presentation while making a few corrections, but other times when shes in bad moods, she'll start asking you questions. Every question that she asks she asks in french and all of your answers have to be in french, as if that wasn't hard enough, sometimes I dont even know the answer to the question because it wasnt one of the things we were required to know! Oh well, at least its a good amont of points that I usualy get B's on and it helps me feel more comfortable giving presentations infront of the class.

Memories!

For some reason this past 2 months is just a walk down memory lane! I'm loving it! All of the movies or T.V. shows that I watched repedidly keep on coming up in conversation. I even found some old VHS recordings of some of my favorites. I was so frustrated though because some of the movies my sister and I watched we rented from the video store pretty much every week so we dont own them and I cant watch them. The only place I can find really old movies that I cant find anywhere els is netflix, but I dont have a netflix account and dont really want one. Darn it! Well at least there are some of the best ones on you tube! I would redomend watching Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumber Land, The princess and the Goblin, or Troll in Central Park.

I completely forgot

I completely forgot about blogging all last week! I dont know why this keeps happening to me! I think that I'm going to start just doing all of my blogs on Mondays that way I wont even have to worry about them during the week. dont you just hate it when you forget things? Its seems like its happening more frequently to me. Is it like that for anyone els right now?

the oscars

I'v never actually watched the Oscars. I'll walk in and see some people walk up to get the statue, but never more then that. Now I'm watching them, and the opening is really funny. I didn't think they would be like this, but all of the people on stage keep cracking jokes. I wish I had seen some of the movies that they are talking about. I wanted to go see most of them but never went, I think that they should make movies come out on video sooner so that all of the people who say they are going to wait until it comes out on video dont have to wait that long.

New

This year has brought so many new friends into my life! I really love it. And for a lot of people that i knew last year, i made closer connections with this year. I starting to enjoy high school a a lot. Its so weird to think that in just a year were all going to have to start looking a collages and in two years we'll be leaving. I feel so old when I think about things like that, and then when I think of all the things I cant do until im 18 i feel so young, weird?

Rain :)

This storm is needed! I love it when it storms I think things are prettier this way and it always smells so fresh outside. I just hate that its windy! I would love to go walk in the rain even when its poring down this hard, but the stupid wind bugs me. When ever anyone goes outside and its raining and windy you always end up getting a bunch of water all in your face and in your eyes so that you cant even see.

Katamarie

My sister is borrowing this game from her boyfriend and we call it the "roll a ball game". This game is a little green guy who is a "prince" and he rolls around this ball thing called a katamarie, I know it doesn't sound that complicated or fun. This game is so addictive. when you roll the ball past objects they stick to it and make the ball get bigger and bigger, also it is much harder then it looks. Eventually you will get to a level where you roll up the world. They have the most weird objects in the world laying around too. I would recommend trying it

Cell Phone

understand why I feel like something is missing right now. I hate it when my parents take my phone away! They For all of you who use you cell phone on a daily basis, for texting, calling or just generally communicating with the rest of the world, or setting alarms for yourself, then you can probably don't take it away often and i have to say that when they do I usually deserve to get it taken away as punishment. But still I always feel like something is missing and I hate not being able to talk to my friends whenever I feel like it. I know I sound totally lame but still I hate it when they have my phone! I always feel like there gonna read all my texts too.

stupid Chlorine

Have you noticed every time you go in a hot tube you come out smelling like chlorine? I hate it. even if you don't go under the water your whole body smells like it. Like the smell just seeped into your skin. it makes want to go take a shower immediately. And in the shower I always feel like i have to scrub myself with some scented body wash or something or else ill still smell like a walking hot tub.

Santa cruz

I almost stayed home alone today and did nothing! That would have been awful especially because its super bowl! I was thinking about going with my mom to Santa Cruz to hang out with my family but i didn't want to go if none of my friends could go with me because then it would get boring. So I text Shay and Tiana and they weren't going to do anything today either! So we went my aunts amazing house and wondered around this creepy school/park where no one was that looked like it could be in a scary movie and took pictures. All and all it was a good day.

Friday!

I had loads of fun hanging out with lost of people that I don't usually hang out with that much. The play was good I thought that Bernard (spike) was a little creep however. Every time that one girl dance on stage and talked he would just sit behind a rock and stare at her like a stalker! I think there weren't as many people in the play as last year? or maybe I just knew more people in it then last year so I noticed them more? But anyways I love the One Act plays!

It's Like A Food Craving

Have you ever had a time when you really crave a food, and you cant get it off your mind until you eat it? Even if you eat something els the you usualy really like it just dosen't satify you enough. Well I have been craving movies like that. Randomly I really want to watch a movie, it could be one that I havent seen in years or one that I just saw yesterday, but either way I cant stop thinking about that movie until I watch it! It only makes me more thankful for websites like youtube and others that let you watch movies for free on them and for late night T.V. that shows little kid movies.

the dance

I had lots of fun at the dance! It looked very pretty good job Carmen and Jasmine! The night seemed like it went by really fast! I never knew until about three days before the dance that we had a place called the fish bowl, I always wondered why that squareish shaped open area was there, It was really pretty out there I loved it!

um manswers?

So for some reason this week when I'm talking to a guy the search engine Manswers comes up. I guess its like a place guys can ask anything they would want to know about? I think its so weird that randomly a certain word will just keep coming up through out your week! Just like how about two months ago the word banana kept coming up. It's creepy like if you haven't said the word or heard the word everyone has been saying they keep hearing I feel like I missed a memo!

Too Much E.R.

I feel like for the past few months I have been having to go to the hospital too frequently. Between the allergy shots I get, regular doctor appointments, appointments for my family and random walk - ins to the E.R. I'm starting to know my way around that part of Kaiser. On new years I had to go to the E.R. because I was running a fever of 102 and now tonight I had to go because my dad cut the pad of his finger nearly off while rotating his tires! I was running around the urgent care center for the past 3 hours doing stuff for him and walking him places! At least he is okay though, they put him on lost of pain killers and antibiotics and sent him home, it should heal in a while, but he broke the tip of his finger too. I feel like people in my family are just destined to get hurt randomly!

Breana- Bella- Donna*

Around my neighborhood there were never kids my age. My sister used to hang out with two boys down the street but I was usually excluded from whatever they were doing because of my age. I was the youngest in my class also so kids, being kids didn't want to hang out with someone younger it wasn't cool for a seven year old to hang out with a six year old. My elementary school did fund raisers, things like selling cookie dough, or chocolate bars, so my mom would walk me around to sell to our neighbors. When we arrived at a house that was just across the street and around the corner form mine, a tallish woman with a dark blond shade of hair and her long dark haired crying daughter, who looked about my age answered the door. When I asked her mom why she was crying she said "her daddy didn't kiss her good bye". After our moms talked for a little while and the girl who looked my age and I stood next to each other in near silence for a while, a play date was scheduled. My mom wrote down her name on a piece of paper and the number on her house so when I walked over to hang out with Breana for the first time I wouldn't get lost.
When I rang the door bell I heard yelling between her bothers before a older boy who made me nervous answered the door. Breana and I just kept finding out that we had more and more things in common after the first day we hung out. Her house set up was the same as mine and her room was in the same place, we both had a dog and loved fruit roll ups. We went to a summer camp together that summer and singed up for all the same camp activities, we were inseparable. summers were also full of lemonade stands and riding around the block on scooters finding different places to sit and talk about what we wanted to do when we grew up and things we were determined to do even if people thought we couldn't, while we balled up fruit roll ups and shoved them in our mouths.
In the fall a plant we called sour grass grew and we would pick it and make salads that only a mother who loved her child would pretend to eat and long cold days planing house inside and staying up all night. I saw my first scary movie with her, I will never forget it, "My Teacher Ate My Homework", a story about a demonic doll that haunted us for two weeks.
I'll never forget the day she told me she was moving. I walked to her house to give her back a lemonade pitcher and boxes were everywhere, she moved to Morgen hill and moved to a school called Paradise. We tried to have enough lemonade stands to earn enough money so that we could buy a house and stay their together and frequently talked on the phone about it, until the house we wanted to buy was sold. We slowly stopped hanging out, and when middle school hit i started seeing her one a year every summer in small town called Groveland. I still see her sometimes when our mos decided to go on a vacation hiking trip together leaving us to talk, but nothing can beat the amazing times we had when we were young kids, never fighting,and always dreaming, I still cant forget her birthday or ever secret she told me.

kind of a girl thing

So this last weekend I had to go wig shopping for my mom with my grandma and my mom and i took Shay with me. When we walked into the store it wasn't quite  what i thought it would be. I imagined a wig store being either like those pawn shops in the movies or some crazy big place. But in stead it was a nice little place in Campbell called "Wing N' Out". The lady there was extremely nice and let my mom try on what ever she wanted, while we were there a man walked in. As he looked at the wigs he over heard the four of us talking and try to decide which one to pick for my mom and he told us that he never realized how big of a deal hair was to girls. That made me think... and hair is really important to girls, it must be such a hard thing for a cancer patient to go through. I mean as a girl you can never imagine yourself without the full head of hair you've always had, and never planed on shaving off.
