competition

  
    Last weekend was show choir competition in birmingham. it was so much fun! We left school at 11 and go to birmingham by 2 and ate and shopped for a couple of hours. then we went to the hotel and got our room assignments freshened up and the had a party with another show choir. It was awesome. After the party we all were well a little hyper. We were running up and down the hall and laughing at everything and some people were dancing in front of windows. It was all fun and games until we found out we weren't the only people on our floor. There was one room that was this little old lady and boy was she angry. She came out and yelled at us.
    The next morning I was woken up at 5:45 by one of the moms coming in my room with a line of girls behind her ready to do their hair. lets just say I was not a happy camper, I am not a morning person to begin with. The next two hours were a rush everyone was running around trying to get their hair and makeup done and get dressed and get all of our stuff together and be down in the lobby by 7:30. It was quite stressful.
    Next thing I knew we were on the bus and on our way to Homewood High school. We were there about 8 and had about 2 hours to kill. We watched our competition and then it was time to go to warm u. We started warmup just like any other time we had done it and then it was time for game time. That is when everyone gets in a huddle and the seniors stand in the middle and get us all pumped up by screaming what time is it? game time. It got pretty emotional after that with Mr. Ellis' pep talk. It was our last show with our seniors and it was really sad.
   We did the best we had ever done! We were amazing. We only came in second runner-up... technically 3rd. We got jipped to say the least but at least we had a good time.
    The rest of the weekend was spent with Mary Holliman, Tori, and our moms. It was great times. We laughed so hard. Our moms had bought so much friday night that we had to send some of our stuff home with some people we knew because we couldn't all fit in the car.
    That was such a  great way to end our soundwave year and I cant not wait till another great year of show choir!

Now that my computer is up and running again its time to blog.

    February 11,2011 I turned seventeen, what a life changing experience. Not really. I feel no different. Oh well the partying was fun. All of my family and friends came over for dinner and then some of us went shopping the day after. It was great times.
    To clear up the confusion technically none of these people are my family but i claim them as mine. All of my family lives a million miles away so we have created our own little tupelo family which I like better then my real family half the time. I don't know what I would do with out them. They are amazing and i love each and every one of them very much.

" The truth is, I don't really like to think about college. Cause that means high school's over. 
After graduation, everyone will probably go play basketball. Or sing or start record labels, -and I'll have to start all over. Alone. I'm sure I'll be fine. But like I said, I don't like to think about it."

"Happiness comes in many forms. 
In the company of good friends, 
in the feeling you get when you make someone else’s dreams come true,or in a promise of hope renewed. 
It’s ok to let yourself be happy, 
because you never know how great that happiness might be.
Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life,
that you expect it to always be there, 
because you can’t remember a time in your life when it wasn’t. 
But then one day you feel something else. 
Something that feels wrong only because it’s so unfamiliar, 
and in that moment you realize you’re happy."
- Lucas Scott

hoes over bros

   Sometimes I just wonder about people. Is a boy who you most likely aren't going to marry, something you want to lose your best friend over. I have been going through this with some of my friends lately. It is really hard being in the middle of it but I am completely honest with both of them. I'm not picking sides, but I will tell you what is right.
   I know there is not technically a girl code but seriously to turn on your best friend. You just do not date your friends ex... especially when it was a serious relationship and it hasn't been over for very long. It is just common courtesy. It doesn't matter how much you like him you don't put your self in the situation and then it won't happen. When e texts you, you don't text back and then things never get started. Unless you are willing to risk your friendship you just don't do this.
    I have been on both sides of the situation and in the middle of it and no perspective is very good. Never turn on your friends and always think of your relationship with them before you go to drastic measures like going to prom with their ex.
    Never let boys control your friendships. When you get a boyfriend don't ditch your friends because when you break up you will be left all alone.

     For a girl without a valentine, valentine's day is a pain. You have to watch all of your friends get valentines gifts from their boyfriends. Do I get anything?... no, unless it's from my mom. Today is always a miserable day for me. I think over the past couple of years I have had one valentine... maybe, unless you count my 3 year elementary relationship. With a recent heart break I was not so sure about today.
  
    This morning I woke up with two choices, I could either let today be miserable or I could make the best of it and just have fun. With these choices in mind I decided I would take the high road and make the best f it. I pulled out my pink heart shirt and went on my way to school.

    This morning was perfect with the sunroof open, my sunglasses, and my Ben Rector cd; my day was made. While jamming out to my cd I had an epiphany... Why can't Ben Rector be my valentine? He can! No one can tell me who my valentine can or can not be. So today, I will call the hot singer songwriter Ben Rector, MY valentine! Who cares if you have a valentine or not make the best of it and just live life ya life!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

" Now is the time for us to shine. The time when our dreams are within reach and possibilities vast. Now is the time for all of us to become the people we have always dreamed of being. This is your world. You're here. You matter. The world is waiting."
- Haley James Scott

"Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied at barely getting by. But, that feeling is a lie and if you just hold on; just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find the way and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes, someone to help us hear the music in the world. To remind us that it won’t always be this way. That someone is out there, and that someone will find you."
- Lucas Scott

"Life is short and opportunities are rare. And we have to be vigilant in protecting them and not only the opportunities to succeed but the opportunity to laugh , to see the enchantment and to live. Because life doesn't owe us anything, In fact I think we owe something to the world."

“Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small like when we do a bad thing for a good reason. Some are bigger like when you let down a friend. Some of us escape the pain of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret because we're looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past, and sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change your own ways.
But, our biggest regrets are not for the things we did -- but, for the things we didn't do. Things we didn't say that could've save someone that we care about. Especially when we can see the dark storm that's headed their way."
-Lucas Scott

No limits

    There are times when I wonder why? why everything always happens to me. why am I always the one that gets left behind, loses someone, a friend family member. why me? I have the worst luck on the face of the planet. somedays it just takes me to where I don't care at all. I don't care what anyone says or does. I have lost so many people over the past few years; family members, best friends, role models... anything and everything I have lost. sometimes I wish I could just sit in my room "the cave" in my bed all day and just write. Write about everything. I love to write. It always makes me feel better. It is a ways of getting things out without having to talk to someone. I can just respond to myself. I don't have to worry about what people are going to tell me, I don't have to have anyones opinion I can just be free and write whatever I want. There are no limits.
     I keep a journal. I got a new one the other day actually. My life is in my journal. Whatever i'm feeling I write about. I write poems, songs, notes. whatever I just write. It is an easy way to vent. I can share anything and not have to worry about that trust being lost and other people finding out. I have a slight trust issue if you want to say that. Over the years I have learned that t a certain extent you can't trust anyone. There are a selective few that I trust and really I don't even tell them everything. They didn't know until just now that i have a journal. It's not really a secret it's just something I have never really felt the need to tell anyone about until now. Without my journal I would probably be really lost; more lost than I already am.

"Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty this hatred. How did it find us, did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us that we now send our children into the world like we send young men to war, hoping for their safe return but knowing some will be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name...is it your name?"

finally a day of rest

    I am to excited about tonight! Tonight is the first night that I haven't had homework in the past 3 weeks. So why is that so great? because I am actually going to be in bed before midnight. I can finally catch up on my sleep. Yes I am skipping church but I have got to catch up on my sleep sometime. My grades are slipping and I do not need that. I have worked my tail off all year and I am not letting all of my hard work go to waste now. Being sleep deprived does not help though.
 
    Now teachers... since you urge us not to sleep in class you should not give us so much homework that we have to stay up until midnight. I mean you bring it on yourselves. Sorry but thats just the facts folks. The more homework we have the later we have to stay up  then the more tired we are going to sleep in class.
  
     On another note I can not wait till block schedule next year! If I get my schedule worked out right I will get out at 12. That would be grand. I could go to lunch and then chill or get a job for that matter. On top of that I will only have 2 or maybe 3 classes so the less the classes th less the homework and since we will be in there for almost 3 hours we will most likely start our homework and then I really wont have much homework. Life will be great. Im thinking it will be the perfect senior year.
