You have a good sense of self control and hate to show weakness.

You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.

Your friends tend to be a as quirky as you are - which is saying a lot!

You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.</font></td></tr></table><div align="center"><a href="http://www.blogthings.com/howdoyouliveyourlifequiz/">How Do You Live Your Life?</a></div>

Wow, it's been five months since I updated. In that time, the year changed from 2004 to 2005, and my life changed in more ways than I thought possible.

High school is now a memory of the past. A blur in my life. Four years seems like an eternity when it begins, yet seems like a day when it ends. Hours upon hours spent studying, stressing, doing homework, laughing, crying, smiling, getting angry, getting excited, making memories, and just living. For every bad memory, there are 3 good ones. I now understand the truth behind the saying that the best years of your life are spent in high school. I wouldn't trade a thing for the memories I've made through the years. And I can honestly say I have no regrets, because if I had done anything differently, I wouldn't be the person I am today. One little thing done differently would've changed everything: the experience, the memory, my life. The friends I've made truly are a blessing straight from Heaven. I always have this fear of making the wrong friends. Getting to know people that I later find I don't want to be associated with. I really lucked out in high school. I've never found such a wonderful group of people who understand me. People who see my flaws but love me anyway. People who stick by me no matter what kind of day I'm having or what kind of mess I've gotten myself into to. People who give me a shoulder to cry on when I need one. People who give me a hug when I'm down to make me feel better or give me a hug just to remind me that they care. You guys really are irreplaceable, and I can't tell you how much I'm going to miss you. College just won't be the same without ya'll, no matter how many new people I meet or how many new friends I make. I know we're all promising to stay in touch right now, and I know that it's still really difficult for us to see the time when all of this is really over, so I just want ya'll to know that no matter what happens, even if we lose touch and go our separate ways without another thought about each other, please know that I will cherish every memory and that each and every one of you will have a place in my heart forever. I love you guys and I thank ya'll for everything.

As high school officially comes to a close in a few days, other chapters of my life are coming to a close as well. As I face turning 18 this coming fall, my childhood comes to an abrupt end. With its end comes new responsibilities, new adventures, and new people. College is something that I'm really excited about but really scared about at the same time. All of these "what ifs" plague my mind. Looking back, I wonder if it was like this when I was starting high school. I'm sure it probably was, but I honestly can't remember. I wonder if I'm going to look back on this time in four years when I'm graduating college and wonder the same thing about my feelings entering college. Will I miss the people I meet in college as much as I'm going to miss the ones from high school? Will I be in a relationship? Will I be engaged? Or will I be single? What kind of things am I going to be scared of four years from now? Will I be graduating with a degree in what I plan on majoring in right now, or will I have majored in something completely different? So many questions, so much uncertainty. But that's what makes life so great. That's why we get up every day...to see how our life will unfold that day, what kind of experiences we will have, what kind of people we will meet. Life would be boring if we knew what to expect when we woke up every day, or what our future would be like. Even though I was uncertain about high school and how my life would unfold in those four years, I can honestly say that I think everything turned out perfectly. The moments weren't always perfect, the memories weren't always perfect, and the people most certainly weren't always perfect (especially not me), but everything turned out exactly like it was supposed to. And that's what makes it perfect.

School needs to die a slow and painful death. Next week is gonna be awful. I'm sitting up enjoying my last few hours of spring break before we have to go write research papers, do two sets of comp checks, and get back to the old grind. Blah. Oh well, I'm looking forward to prom and the Bahamas so there's some major good points to this utterly shitty month that will be upon us in 2 days or so. May God have mercy on my soul...just gotta make it through the first week of May. :)

Saturday-Woke up, cleaned my room (gah it was such a junkyard in there), and took a shower. Becky came over and ate some food and my mom brought me Chinese :) We ate then pondered what to do and finally decided on a movie night at Becky's. Me and Becky drove down to her house (I beat her again! muhahaha I don't care how fast you go down Todd Mill Becky, Bailey Cove is faster and I will always beat you there ) and then went to Movie Gallery to rent movies. We ended up getting Bringing Down the House, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and Shattered Glass. We stopped back by my house to get her jacket then went back to her house. David, Laura, and Jonathan showed up and we chilled for a while while we were waiting on Lionel and Chad. Spider solitare raped me and so did pinball :( I usually own those games but I was sucking at them majorly for some reason that night. The double stuffed Oreos made everything better though. lol We finally started Bringing Down the House at 9 and I got dumped over in that damn chair twice! lol I gave up and just sat on the floor with Lionel and made fun of Becky who kept laying on David's wet socks for some reason. lol Jonathan left halfway through the movie and Laura and David got hungry and got off the bed to go find food so me and Lionel made a mad dive for the best so we could get off the freezing cold floor. The movie finished, we tried to watch Shattered Glass but decided it sucked after watching a minute of it, and put in Once Upon a Time in Mexico. It made no sense, just a bunch of Mexicans running around yelling stuff in Spanish, shooting each other, and some hot latina girl running around in a skirt. Your typical Mexican action movie. lol I have to say Bringing Down the House was pretty good though...really funny. I would recommend that one. Laura and David came back in and Ben, Alan, and Dan popped in at one point when they got back from Six Flags but they only stayed a minute or two because they were so exhausted from their trip. I left at 11:30 and came home and talked online for a while then went to bed.

Today-Got up at 1...the earliest I think I've been up the entire break when I was actually in town. lol Took a shower and drove over to Lionel's. We watched Old School...such a great movie. hehe Blue's the man! Alan and Laura showed up right after we started the movie and Alan was giving me crap about "ripping Lionel's shirt off" because Lionel had on some shirt that had gotten ripped while he was playing football. Laura finally dragged him out of the house, but I was so tempted to cut a piece of Lionel's shirt and take it to Alan at school tomorrow and be like, "Heh, this is all that was left of Lionel's shirt when I got through with it..." LOL That would've been funny. Hmm I may just do that sometime. Anyways, we finished the movie and chilled out. Becky called a few times to harrass me so Lionel finally turned my phone off. lol I'm surprised I didn't play the guitar...hmm...something must've been wrong with me to have not been going after the guitar today. Oh well...I'll get it next time :) My mom called and bitched me out for not being home yet so I left and came home to her in a bad mood. Fun stuff. I got to eat taco taters though, so all is good! Becky came over and we watched the Britney concert on Showtime...I got my pics back from the concert and they came out pretty good. I got the pyro flames in some of the pics!! Ahh that made me so happy :) lol Becky left, I got online, talked to some people, and did my trig hw. Yea now I'm taking a break...(it's kind of been a 2 hour break...oops ) and I'm about to go copy some human phys notes and go to bed. Damn...I should've listened and gone to bed at 1 tonight. Argh. Oh well, I'll go to bed early tomorrow night. Later yo.

On a random note...when I took the trash out around midnight the stars and everything looked so pretty. I'm such a night person. It was so peaceful and quiet out there...if only it had been just a little bit warmer and I didn't have school tomorrow...then I could've really enjoyed it. It was still gorgeous though.
