Ahhh! i'm havin a freakin AWESOME christmas vacation!! i hope y'all are too! i got an iPod, and sims 2 for PSP...those 2 r my favorite gifts, and like, yeah...a bunch of other stuff! it's awesome! i miss everyone so much! and i won't even be able to see y'all on thursday for band, cause i'll be out of town...:( yeah, so that's about it. have an awesome break...or what's left of it! call me!!

I've decided that i am giving up on my crush, he likes someone else, so i decided to stop liking him(easier said than done) so i wouldn't get hurt if he ever started going out with her. i still want to have him as a friend, but i'll just have to stop liking him...

::screams in excitment for 2 minutes straight::...there are 2 reasons why i'm screaming in excitement...1.)...2 words, ROSE BOWL!!!!!, and the second one is my PSP finally came!!!!!!!!!!! :) First thing tomorrow morning, i'm going out to buy either a game or a movie for it!!!

i don't kno why, but i'm thinking...i kno, pretty dangerous, huh? yeah, and i'm really starting to scare myself...see my dad is going in for a major surgery on the 20th, and i have been thinking myself through all of the worst case scenarios that might happen...and i'm really starting to scare myself...like wut if the anesthesiologist...sound it out, i don't kno how to spell it...gives my dad too much, i mean he misplaces the decimal or something, ppl die from that, or if he gives him too little, then he might wake up during the surgery and find himself still in the middle of it, then his heart rate would race, and he could die from that...i don't kno...and that's only 2 of the ones i've thought up of...ok, i guess it would be best if i just stop thinking all together...but it still scares me...

think about this one....


"...and if you wanna hear god laugh, tell him your plans..."

~Van Zant, Help Somebody

morning quote:
"Good morning sunshine, the world says hello"
~Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate factory

Thirsty quote:
"I am like 99.9% parched...i could really use a cola."
~Just Like Heaven

Way to judge a person's honesty quote:
"Me?, i'm dishonest, and a dihonest man u can always trust to be dishonest, honestly, it's the honest one u want to watch out for, because u can never predict when they'll do something incredibley...stupid"
~Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Carribbean

Anti-School quote:

~Oscar Wilde

Survivor Quote:

~Greg, former player of survivor, talking about survivor.

Think about life and living quote...this is the last on, i swear!:
"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
