Hookie

So I get to school and then coach calls and tells us that the tournament was canceled.

I have only bits and pieces of my homework done and my book bag is at home, let alone dressed in my golf gear.

He explained that he would e-mail the teachers about our homework and to go back and change and get a pass.

Well...instead of doing that I told my Mom I didn't want to go to school so we went to McDonald's for breakfast and ate together before I went back upstairs to sleep for 4 more hours. =)

Good idea?

Most likely no.

But I feel better than ever right now. It's like all of a sudden my confidence came back. I was able to look in the mirror today and think "Wow, you really are pretty" for the first time in ages.

After my 'nap' I got dressed and picked up JJ from the middle school (he leaves early because the doc doesn't want his foot down all day) and I treated him to Wendy's. On the way home Stevie Nicks "Edge of Seventeen" came on and we were dancing to it. =p

Watched Scooby Doo Spooky Island and when Dad came on went with him to walk the dog. He was very surprised and happy that I was going with him. =)

Headed over to Jackie's house where we did some homeworking together before running up to CVS and getting ourselves each a Betty Crocker Warm Delight Brownie.

We thought that all you did was take the bowl out of the box and then stick it in the microwave.

WRONG!

They make ya work for it.

First you need to take the brownie mix and pour it in the bowl and then add water, and then stir it up and THEN you put it in the microwave for 45 seconds before squeezing the chocolate fudge on it.

In all our hard labor we also decided to crunch up ice cream bars into the brownie too.

It's was the yummiest thing in the world. =)

Won't be in school tomorrow, actually golfing this time! =D

Then Friday I get to miss a Spanish test and ton's of other shit!

Whoop whoop!

(Starting to regret me staying home a tad...)

I Was Pondering...

This may come to be a touchy subject for you, or this may even well surprise you.

But.

I've been meaning to get opinions from all of you (even the close friends I see at school everyday) in the comments section regarding this.

Ready?

What if you needed a license to be a parent?

Does that sound wrong? Would you fight against it? Or would you agree?

Pretty please comment, don't come to me. Put it in writing.

Homecoming 09

Was a blast.

I actually started dancing as soon as we got into the gym which was something I never did in the years before.

And here are the lovely pictures my Dad managed to take:







I think that last one is a keeper. =p

Despite the fact of me hating this year it made it seem somewhat better.

But only somewhat.

May I also say that the lovely woman and dear friend dressed all pretty in pink did my hair?

She's a talented little devil. >=)

(Also note that the man with the brown hair wasn't looking at the camera in any of the pictures. Shame on you Ryan. =p)

After homecoming Andeth, Ryan, Jackie, Mike, Billy, Dev, Gerber, Tom and Ed all came back to my house for some pool, video games and chicken fries! =D

Gerber did some magic tricks too and Tom was good at pool (Andeth and Mike had already impressed upon me their skills last year. =p)

That's about all for now. Too tired to blog anything else. =x

ZOH MY GOSHIES

I am.

The happiest person.

Alive right now.

First of all, I shot my personal best today. A 41.

THEN

I found out I beat Kendra. A girl on the Stow team who NOBODY likes (even her team mates). Stow, Falls, and us have made an anti-Kendra gang, we have an imaginary tree house.

But I digress.

THEN

I found out I did 2nd best on the team.

THEN

I found out I beat Stow's number one player.

THEN

I found out that our team all together beat Stow by one stroke.

They beat us by one last year.

Revenge!!! Revenge!!!!!

Did I also mention we beat a school record?

AND

Coach bought us frosites??

Hellz to the yeah.

It's been a pretty awesome week.

Adventure

So Gina had set a 10:35 tee time today at Fox Den golf course.

Mapquest said it would only take me 25 minutes to get there. I left at 9:30 so I could get there early.

I got there at 11:10.

Why?

Because the dumbasses had the address wrong on their website.

Everything was fine, I got off the right exit, I made the right turns yadda yadda. Then all of a sudden when I'm supposed to be turning into a golf course there's a retirement home (that's not even the right address I might add.)

So after driving up and down a few times I pulled over and called Gina and asked her where it was. She told me to keep going up the road and go onto Fish Creek which would be on the left. She also told me to keep driving up past the Hudson Stores and under a train bridge.

So I did and I kept going till I hit Twinsburg and called again. They told me to drive back, I went too far, and that it should be on the right now.

So I dive all the way back to where I was and still no Fish Creek.

Since their directions aren't working I decide to try and wave someone down on the road.

1st, a woman in her car:

I wave.

She waves back.

-_-

2nd, a group of local kids:

"We dunno."

YOU FUCKING LIVE THERE YOU SHOULD.

3rd, jogger:

I stop the car, wave at him to come over and yell excuse me out the window.

"Hi!" *jogs away*

...

Seriously.

There was no where else to park by the Hudson shops and it's bumper to bumper traffic so I called them back again and have them give the phone to the starter.

He finally gets me there. Turns outs even though I told them I was heading North they thought I was coming from the South and the directions where backwards. Fish Creek was really on the right when it should have been on the left and then left when it should have been on the right.

Did I mention all this time I was driving with the light on because SOMEBODY (*cough* Dad *cough*) didn't fill up the tank the last they took the car?

When I finally got there and was paying in the club house everyone was like "OMG ASHLEY'S HERE!" Not just Gina, Ashley O. and Lauren, people that worked at the place.

I made a name for myself and I wasn't even there.

Skills?

I think so.

After we got done playing (did I also mention we got golf carts?!) Gina rode in my car and we got gas and Burger King!

Drove her to 2-Club and then went and gave Rachel her "Get Well Soon!" balloon that I tried to give her yesterday. =p

Watched the beginning 5 minutes of the Browns game, became disgusted and came here. JJ and I are gonna play Left of Dead now! =D

So Today...

Yeah.

It was a bad day.

Very bad morning.

Somewhat good afternoon.

Horrible evening.

Great now.

This morning my Mom told me that JJ had to go to the ER last night because his leg pain was so great and his dumbass doctor won't give him any more pain pills.

But I digress.

I've had a lot of weight on my shoulders for the past few weeks, and I guess I just needed to...let it all out?

As soon as my Mom told me about my brother I started bawling. I cried on the bus, I cried at school, cried some more, cried at golf to the point where I was shaking and nearly cried after golf because I was freaking and saying how much of a "horrible sister" I am and how I "hate myself."

Which wasn't the main reason it was just the last thing that set me off ya know?

But the good thing about today is that I got lot's of hugs and I'm happy now. =)

AND NO GOLF TOMORROW!!!!

*back flips*

And may I say I just love you guys so much?

Hug tackles will be given on sight tomorrow. So watch out. =)

Oh, and this Dane Cook skit reminded me of today (sorry it's not the actualy footage...yt didn't have it...):

He's A Supa Freak, Supa Freak!

Woke up and went to The Range today instead of 2-Club because it's free there for me.

It wasn't very crowded. In the end there was only two guys left when I was just about done hitting my second bucket of balls.

When the guy behind me was leaving he asked me how long I had been playing and told me that I had a really nice swing and to keep it up.

So, ya know, of course I felt pretty damn good. =)

I couldn't finish hitting the whole bucket of balls though because my arm was hurting really bad. When I was leaving the older guy (he was like, maybe 50? =/) that was hitting further down suddenly just swung at the golf ball and turned around and went:

"Oh my good! Look, look at that!"

It was a terrible shot but I told him it was good anyways and the rest continued as followed:

"Ya see, I knew it would be a good shot! It's just cuz you're such a pretty girl and all and that good karma just effects people! Have long you been playing golf?"

"Since I was 8."

"Ah, wow it really shows!" *stares at me rubbing my arm*

"Yeah, I just gotta get this arm fixed and I'll be top dog on the team."

"Oh, ya hurt your arm? What's wrong with it?"

I told him how nobody knows for sure, and that it could be from typing and golf and all that.

*claps* "Oh yeah, yeah, that makes sense! It could also be because you've been playing golf for so long, which sucks because you're such a pretty girl! But I bought all of these tapes and they taught me this really good type of swing- oh! Here! Lemme show you!" *grabs a club out of his bag and swings*

He kept continuing on about the swing and then he shoved the golf club in my hands and was like "Let me see your grip! No, see, you're too tense! Take you arm and relax it!" And he started grabbing my right arm changing it around and then tried to stand behind me.

So I swung the club and grabbed my car keys and tried to make a move to go but he stepped towards me and was like "So where does your arm hurt?"

*holds out arm a little* "It hurts here, and up my arm. And I really should go now to ice it-"

"You mean here?" *grabs arm and runs finger up and down it*

"Yeah, yeah, I really need to go now-"

He then went and grabbed his golf club and hit another golf ball and went "YES! That's the swing ya gotta do! Nice shot huh?!" *holds out hand for a high five*

So I went to quickly tap it and run and he grabbed my hand a little bit and took a deep breath and went "Such a pretty girl" really softly.

"I NEED TO GO NOW! BYE."

I grabbed my stuff and started leaving and he kept talking and almost kinda following me so I took out my cell phone and pretended to be talking to someone. I was so freaked I didn't even want to stay and tell the owner and high tailed out of the parking lot at 45 mph.

At first I though he had a mental problem or something like that because he was talking really fast and somewhat shaking. But after all the pretty girl comments and staring at my chest and legs and trying to grab me shit, he screamed pedophile.

He even had like, those classic pedophile glass.

And what was even scarier was that I was there ALONE with him.

I drove to my Grammy's house down the road and told her everything and she said if I ever wanted to go to there again to bring her and that she'll bring her gun.

Dad told me that if he's there the next time I go back to tell the owner.

Honestly, I think I'll waste my money at 2-Club. I feel like he fucking stripped me with his eyes.

Friday Night Lights

First home game of the year!! =D

Had a pep-rally at the school for all the varsity fall sports. The cheerleaders didn't make the girls golf team a paper banner to run though.

Bitches...

=x

Then we had dance offs between each sport's team and the boys and girls golf team got the chicken dance! Mya, Jenna, and me went out for the girls team and kicked ass! xD

Golf practice was very bad today since we were all pumped. We kept hitting all the balls waaay too hard and getting like, 5's on every hole (we should be getting 3's or lower so that's very bad).

So, to try and improve our game coach decided to bribe us. He said that if all 6 of us got a total score 20 or under he'd buy us all frostys from Wendy's.

Not even a fucking frosty could save our game.

So then coach changed it up. If we get 20 or under we get frostys. But if we get over WE have to buy HIM Chipotle.

We kept on getting 20's then.

But we had lots of fun, we were screaming and jumping up and down and everything. =p

Hurried up and got ready for the football game. Ryan picked me up after Andeth and then we got Jackie and headed to Apple Bee's! Food was very yummy. =)

Got to the game and had tons of fun with everyone. Larry even came back too (he had moved)!

Played a prank on Caramel and then left towards the end of the 4th quarter; this time with Ryan's little brother Eric as well (he's in 8th grade and funny as hell =p).

Went to Giant Eagle to see if they had any doughnuts left. While walking in Jackie and I spotted this little kid in a shopping cart.

Upon this discovery we completely ditched the guys and ran over to ask the little kid's Dad if we could hug him because he was the most adorable thing we'd ever seen!

His name was Evan, and he was 15 months old!

=)

Ended up going to Wal Mart for doughnuts and ate them at Jackie's house.

Cleaned my room a bit when I got home and then got my stuff ready for Valley Voyages.

6:30 rolled around and in my fear of being late to the school I cut the 20 minute driving time there in half.

Kayaking was very fun! My arms feel great too. =p

I'm really sure everyone had lots of fun because I know I sure did.

Still, nothing can beat this VV trip.

Ah, seagulls. =p

Day Off

Ah, today was a lovely day off (and we still have one more to go!). =D

In the end Jackie, Ryan, Andeth and I all got together and had a picnic in the park!

Then after that we headed to my place for dinner (yes I know, after we just ate basically =p).

Everyone enjoyed the food (I hope) and seems to have a good time.

We played Nazi Zombies and Jackie and I huddled in a ball next to Andeth because of how high it is on the creepy scale. After that we watched "Without A Paddle", one of Ryan's favorite movies. =)

Spent at good hour and a half just laying around talking and getting fat off of my mom's chocolate chip cookies before it was time for everyone to leave. =p

Golf practice at 3 tomorrow. =)

Love List

Sooooo, "Love List" huh? Lez dew eeeet!

I Love...

1) My Imagination
My mind is never still- which is probably why it used to take me a long time to fall asleep quickly. I was always just just thinking and imagining the most random things, situations and stories in my head. Now I have them under control a little bit...

Sure in hell helps me at school. =p

2) My Sarcasm and Sense of Humor
It seems to always keep that type of comedic spark going in my life and hell, if you're able to laugh at one thing or group of people you should be able to laugh at them all. It also helps on those rough days. I especially love cheering my friends up with it. =)

3) My Music Tastes
There really isn't any type of music that I've found I completely hate yet. It annoys me when others refuse to listen to something because it's too "slow" or it's "country". I love that I have a lot of variety.

4) My Eyes
I love the color. Green with little flexes of brown is what they are and when I wear the right outfit everyone seems to notice them too. =)

5) My Body
At least most of it. Especially when I get time to work out regularly. Abs=love!

6) My Goofiness
I'll do just about anything to get a good laugh out of people. Plus, it's just no fun being serious and practical all the time!

7) My Ability to Stumble Upon Strange Happenings
I've seen and had many weird things happen to me in my life so far. But what I also love is the fact that just for my own humor I'll find the most ridiculously positive sides of it all.

8) My Height
Tall enough to look down at the freshman, yet small enough to beast you at hide and seek. And what the hey, good things come in little packages!

9) My Boldness
Yes, I do color outside of the lines. What now bitch?

10) My Strength
Not so much physically, but mentally. At least I think I'm pretty strong minded. I've been through quite a lot in my life, especially when I was young. I've had to play many roles in my life to keep everything stable, and once I stumbled a bit. As much as I still want to do it again, I know I can't. That in itself is a big battle for me because I know that if I do (as dramatic as this may sound) everything, and I mean everything would be extremely royally fucked in my life in every aspect possible.

This is why I'm going to add a bonus to this "Love List":

11) My Friends and Family
No matter what has happened you guys (and you know who you are) have been with me through this and thin. Through everything, at least one of you has been there for me. Thick and thin, big and small. Even if you don't feel like you're there for me, even if you're only able to say "I'm sorry" or "I hope it get's better" that's help enough for me, because I know that no matter what you wish there was something more you could do.

I'd be happy to give everything good I have to all of you in exchange for anything bad or evil in your lives. In the end I know all I really live for in life is to see all of you happy.

How's that for fortune cookie sounding Jackie? =p

Rayy I'll have your To-Do list you requested soon too!

ily.

Ash and Jay Day! (Plus Love List)

Cyrus came over for a bit to visit, other than that JJ and I spent the whole day together! =D

First we danced crazily to the ring tones on our celly's because we were bored and then I decided that we were going to go to the park so I can try and get some pictures for my photo class.

In the end I didn't but we drove around that then ended up at Network Video and bought Sweeny Todd! =)

Had dinner at Panini's and then visited with Jackie, Anthony, Double D, and his wife (who's name I never caught =x) for awhile.

After heading to Giant Eagle to get Mom some things for dinner tomorrow, watched the movie, and then headed to bed.

All in all, it was a pretty good day. =)

Also, I'm going to break another promise and have to try and do Jackie's assignment tomorrow.

It's 2 in the morning and I've come up with 6 out of 10 things in the last 3 hours. I will not post it up until it's finished.

Beep beep! Hoot hoot!

So I got my license yesterday!

On the way there I freaked out at my Mom for starting a cigarette in the car and I threw it out the window.

She wasn't exactly happy about that... =p

When we got there I parked and went inside. The lady at the desk asked me for my temps. and license plate number (which I know, hahaha!) and then she asked me where the car was parked.

So what do I answer?

"Oh, um, in the parking lot." *points*
"Well yeah, I kind of figured that..."

Guess I was still a little nervous/excited. =p

After the chaos of getting JJ out of the car and racing around to the front the driver lady checked the car to make sure it was legal to be on the road, and then got in and I was off to do my maneuverability.

She told me to go on the right side, and I did and then that was it. This whole time I thought you had to go through both sides. =p

The actual driving portion was simple. Despite the road being small, with no edge or center lines, and 25mph I did great! =D

Failed at trying to make a little humors small talk with the instructor. She was like my Dad's GPS (which we call Lola) the way she gave me directions. =p

After that I parked, passed and went in to get my license.

As we were leaving JJ very loudly stated that I was the shortest person in the whole room....

....

Everybody looked down to see.

Blah. =p

Mom wanted to take me to Red Lobster to celebrate, I didn't want to go but she was all excited so in the end we went and came home with a ton of left over food.

Drove over to Andeth's house to drop off the cones for him to practice with and then headed on over to the Twist and Shake to see Jackie and Sandy.

It was weird driving alone. Although I've done it a lot before I guess I felt a little....safer? I guess since I was legal and all.

Retrieved some banana's for them so they could continue making their Sunday's and then I was off for home to study and do homework.

In the middle of it JJ calls me and tells me to come downstairs and on the deck. So I do and I find my Dad out there making this weird noise over and over again.

Why?

There were screech owls (at least that's what he said what they were) in the trees in our backyard and every time he called out to them, they called back.

Thus, my Dad can speak bird.

Had a 'panic attack' around 3 in the morning because I couldn't find Melvin before going to sleep. =p

School was...bleh.

Math class was so boring that I fell so asleep I had some weird dream.

That class tires me out the whole day because it's so uninteresting... *sigh*

English was alright today.

For photo Mr. Naujoks wants us to take 25 pictures or more over the weekend. I'm actually gonna put some of the one's I've taken in the past that I really love too along with more current ones. =p

Here's one that's really cute:



My dog Shannon is on the left and that little guy on the right is (what JJ and I dubbed as) Little Peanut Butter!

I love how Shannon is all like "What the fuck is this thing?? DEFENSE MODE!" and Peanut Butter is all like "Oooooh, biiiiig doggie!"

At least that's how I interpenetrated it...

I miss him. ^-^

For once I picked up Ryan and drove him to the Twist and Shake. I also got Jackie a pizza. =)

Watched part of Cloverfield before JJ wanted to stop and go upstairs.

I figured I'd take the time to go blog. =)

Jackie, I'll do your 'assignment' tomorrow! Promise!

ily.

This Whole 'School Thing'

Is seriously cutting into my blogging time.

For now I will give you in one sentence the events of today:

I got my license and my Dad spoke bird.

Yes.

Things that make ya go "Hmmmmmmm..."

More details tomorrow! =D

After Staying Up (Way) Late...

I finished all the homework that would have been assigned tonight last night, got through the school day, did well at practice, and practiced some more driving.

All in time to play Nazi Zombies (a.k.a Call of Duty: World At War) with JJ.

And let me tell you.

That game?

Fucking. Creepy.

<3
