TAGGED!

Ok, i was officially tagged by AREN first, then by CAIT, and then By BLAIR-Bear, so i will follow all of each of your rules (in case they are different) and then i will link 6 fellow bloggers! =]
6 'quirky' about me:
1) my birthday is the same as my moms, so people always mix up whose birthday it is.
2) for some weird reason, baby powder makes me sneeze uncontrollably, but i dont have any allergies, because i was tested, and came back negative.
3) My 8 catz currently control more of my life than i do, which really sucks, because soon my brother is leaving for camp, and they will only have me to annoy.
4) when i was in 6-7th grade, i had this really crappy phone, but i never lost it. now, since i got a new phone in december, i have lost/broken it about 15 times. now, since the first two replacement phones went into the wash, and no longer work, i got a new, identical phone for graduation, but my parents warn me that this is the last time they are paying to replace it if it breaks/gets lost.
5) when i get really pissed, or unexpectedly fall, or get hurt, the first things out of my mouth is a string of french curse words. i dont know why, but im more inclined to curse in french than english, when put on the spot. when i get hurt, im actually more fluent in french than english! and english is my native language!
6) my sleeping habits change based on season. in fall, im asleep early, and awake early. in winter, im up really late, and up really early. in spring its the same thing, but in summer, i get almost no sleep. i go 2 bed at around 3am, and wake up @ like 6am!
ok, thats 6 things about me. Im now going to tag:
1) Jersey Girl
2) em
3) swooze
4) Techie57
5) Sydney Speel
6) *.triple.threat.*

Happy summer 2 you all, because it is now officially summer 4 me!!! today we had our graduation ceremony @ our county center, and now i can never be forceably stuck back into the building that was my prison for the last three years!!! =]

End Of The Year!

ok, I'm in the final lap of school right now. I had to put up with all my psycho teachers for 177 days, and now we're in the final three! on Monday, we have our 'awards ceremony' which is now just an excuse to cut class. on Tuesday, we have our senior trip to lake compounce, which is just an excuse to go nuts while the teachers sun bathe. on Wednesday, we all get out of school early for graduation rehearsals. and on Thursdays, we don't go to school, we just show up at The County Center for our GRADUATION! hopefully, i can get my grades before we graduate, that way i can stop freaking out. i know i got a couple of problems wrong on my Algebra regents (but my teacher is hiding our grades), I got a 96 on my Social Studies exam, and i got a 95 on my Latin exam. (I know it's a boring, dull language, but it's really easy!) But right now, i don't know how i did on my earth science regents! =[ Ive been freaking out about it since yesterday! i think i got some wrong, but i don't know which, and i don't know what that'll do to my grade!!! well, ill try to find out by 2morrow. till then! <=]

So, Bye for now!

softball tournament

Ok, yesterday our summer travel team, WP BLAZE, had our first tournament! we totally sucked and got our butts handed to us in the first two games, and the only reason we 'won' the third game was because the other team forfeited after the rain started. And since Beacon NY was about an hour away from White Plains NY, the entire team was forced to wait in the pouring rain until our other coach showed up with the minivan to take us all home because technically we weren't supposed to be done playing ball for another two hours! so basically my Saturday sucked, and thank god the field in Beacon is flooded right now, because i really cant take another day of embarrassing ourselves in the second day of the tournament! <=[

Summer Heat

okay, now that it's 99 degrees out there, there is no way I'm going outside in my leather jacket anymore. it was awesome all winter, and all spring, but now, it's practically summer, and it's BURNING out! on Saturday, it was so hot out, I thought I'd melt, because my room is on the top floor of our 4 story house and my dad hasn't gotten the air-conditioners in yet. and today was worse because I had softball practice from 11:00-1:00, and the sun was glaring at us. thank god it rained after that, because I couldn't take anymore heat! right now, I'm eating my 4Th sugar free ice-pop with the fan on high, all the windows open, and my hair is wet, and I'm still too hot! =[ If anyone out there has the slightest idea of how to beat the summer heat, PLEASE don't keep it all to yourselves! show some kindness, and share with the rest of the world! <=]

End of the instrumental year!

I take private guitar lessons at my music school, LAGOND MUSIC SCHOOL, and the year is almost over! on Saturday, we have our end of year concert! I'm going to be playing Kelly clarkson's Breakaway, (from an earlier post) and Green Day's Boulevard Of Broken Dreams! I can't wait to go and perform for all the people at the school, plus parents and other random people! Do you guys play instruments? which ones? keep it up, only if your sure it's what YOU love! =] enjoy the end of the school year! (for those of you who haven't finished yet!)

CATZ!


okay, so this morning, my cat, Lucky, has managed to: knock everything off of my dresser, eat my old SS test, chew through the elastic strap on one of my watches, break my alarm clock, and wake my baby sister all before I got up to shower at 9:30! I really dont know what's wrong with him, but he better fix it, because all the things he did this morning didn't include the rest of the family! not onl did he torture me this morning, but he pissed off almost EVERYONE! he's completely insane! anyone have good pet advice here? because we've tried just about everything, and Im desperate!
P.S.- enjoy the picture! it's Lucky attacking my little brother, Gabriel! this was taken years ago, but it captures the insanity that is Lucky!

Random stuff

Okay, I'm really excited because summer is coming, and there is only 21 school days left for me! in two weeks, we have prom, and on the 26Th, I get to leave my school FOREVER! (my dream come true!) so I'm in a very good mood, and in a very crappy mood. on Friday, I got my braces on the top of my mouth, and now, my teeth are so sore that I cant eat anything! it totally sucks! the only thing I have to look forward to about them is that I'm only cursed with them for a year, maybe a little less! finally, its memorial-day weekend, so I get to do whatever I want for the next three days! enjoy your weekends, and I'll try to start posting more regularly, i was just in a 'blogging-block'. (similar to writers-block) <=]

Rainy Weather

Okay. Now, most people think of depression when they think of rain, but I LOVE rain! I love the energy you get before the rain, the smells of spring, and I love when the rain stops and the sun melts the clouds away. I'm writing about this because it's been raining, drizzling and cloudy since Wednesday, and everyone I know is complaining about it! My view on this is with all the people talking about the worst parts of rain, I'm deciding to be one person who writes about the good things about rain. What's your favorite , or least favorite thing about rain?
