family;boy;boy.

Here's a very happy late Eater/Passover.

<- There's a picture of me, the cousins, & sister squshed on the couch. Lovely right? Anyways, Easter was fun, had some good family time and that's basically all that I did. I'm pretty good at doing nothing, unlike my mother who constantly has about a million projects going on at once.

In unfamily news, I got asked to prom today. Middle of sixth period. This guy walks in and has about 10+ people with him and in front of the whole class he gives me a white rose and asks me to prom. Cute, right? Wrong. I felt completly bombarded considoring I didn't really want to go to prom with this guy. He's really funny and all but there's just no attraction there for me, oh well. I said yes.

So I just IM'ed this guy I haven't talked to since basically the night we spent on new years at my sisters when she was gone :X Yeah, anyways it's crazy how fast my heart can pound when I wish it wouldn't. This guy should not make me feel like this. He's hurt me twice before so why am I so nervous to talk to him? UGH. I wish I could choose who I fall so hard for-or it would be someone that would care as much as I did back. So Complicated. So Not Worth It. I don't even know why I'm talking to him. I'm setting my self up again and I totally know it. - Prepare for depressed blog in a couple weeks.

So I'm sitting here watching the news with the pops, well, as he sleeps, and it's brought me to realize how pathetic our world is. I don't get how a Sunday School teacher could kill one of her daughters' friends. Or how 4 'pirates' can take over a cargo ship. It's sad. Do people really get that bored to think- oh what could I do so I can get a bunch of money? OH! I know, lets go take over a boat then request 2 million dollars for the captain. No. That's not how it should be. If you apply yourself and work then save up you can get that money. But like other people just work for it and not take people hostage. UGH. It just makes me so upset that this is what it's come to.

Anyways.. My birthday was two days ago and I am now 17. Which means donating blood, driving with more than one person in the car, and rated R movies. Woot. It's not like I haven't drivin with more than one person or seen rated R movies but now if I get carded I can easily whip out my I.D. and be like waBAM, no longer doing illegal stuff. in. your. face. So from the fam I got some tickets to go see Fall Out Boy, MetroStation, All Time Low, Hey Monday, and CobraStarship, I'M SO PUMPED. And what's even more exciting is I also got tickets to TAYLOR SWIFT. Almost peed my pants. I also got some other little things. My friends made me a vid collab of all my friends saying happy birthday and I love it very much.

Things have been super crazy lately. I'm ready for it to simmer.

With Prom coming up the school has been nothing but drama, break-ups, and freak-outs. I'm so ready for all the plans to be made and it to be seven and taking pictures, anxious for the night to begin. However, we still have a whole 'nother month until prom and until then I won't be slowing down. Along with Operation Prom my friends and I are on, I have a birthday, Easter, Retreat, Moms' bday, Brothers' bday, Mom's Emmaus.. (etc). Everything is coming too fast! Where did all my time go?

I've been reminising a lot about how "grown up" I've become since another year has passed. It's so weird to see how much things can change in such a short amount of time. This time last year I had super long, dark hair, a boyfriend I don't even talk to anymore, and I spent a lot more time with my friends. However, the last ones changing. It makes me wonder where I'll be after next year, as I'll be almost done with highschool and getting ready to graduate. Freaky.

Last weekend is really what brought me to reminise. I went on a Jesus Retreat with the sixth graders at my church as a chaperone. I became sort of iffy on it, however, I had more of a blast than I ever thought I would. I never realized how much I missed being so naive. Some of the other girls and I were talking about boys-us being typical girls- and they were saying how this girl was so skanky because her and her boyfriend would actually go to the Chiller (ice rink) and kiss. It's weird to think that at one point in my life I thought kissing was such a taboo topic. Ahh.. the good ol' days..
