---------------------------------------------------------------
whoa where have the times went? looks like i missed hecka stories and such since this morning. i missed the whole day because of that stuff we had to move. heh.
anyways...im pretty tired and stuff. congrats to scoot for his earnings...keep at it. SoOo i was driving my uncle's pick up this afternoon and i tried my first shot at a manual...andi gotta say its not too bad. i was okay at it, but at each stop sign in my neighborhood you can see little tire marks from me...heh. its pretty hard to go from stationary to moving in a manual sometimes...it tends to jerk forward and snap your neck back into the seat.
my gramps finally got his okay to move into the new apartments around the Sutter Solano area. the apartment is very nice though...and very roomy. it was a good catch for someone living alone. but of course im going to visist at least once a week...heh.
anyways...the scariest thing happened yesterday...which was pretty much the only thing keeping me up last night. my sis and i were going down Sterling in my mom's Avalon and i decided to go get something from the pool before i treated her to some Jamba Juice. SoOo i drove down until that left turn lane into that one street i cant remember and i decided to make a u- turn. the street was wet since there was a faulty sprinkler on the way so it was kinda moist on the road. i made my u- turn but ended up screeching out a 360 and hit my tires up on the sidewalk...
ohhh man...i was shaking hella hard. its a good thing my tires were fine just a little scratch on the hubs and stuff....but man. it could have been worse.
Yesterday, I was walking home, when, at the intersection of Redwood and Oakwood, a car comes out of nowhere, hits the curb, and makes a loud popping noise, almost like the tire popped, but it didn't. When I see who it is, it's my friend David from Hogan. The last time we had met was during the SAT 1 testing. He gave me a ride home, and we hung out for a while. He sure seems to have changed since our middle school days, just as pretty much everyone has. But him tremendously in ways. Great to see a friend. Today, I might be able to go to his birthday party/ his sister's graduation party for graduating from Berkeley party. Just after I finish this slave work of sanding down and stabilizing chairs and benches. But I do feel accomplished of what I already did today:
Earn the Engineering and Sculpting merit badges! Woohoo! Now I just need to earn about 20 more....
I really want to finish the auto mechanics merit badge, although it will take a really long time to complete it. I got requirements 1-5 done today. The rest is hands on stuff that is going to take 8 hours a day over 2 days. Damn.
Lately I've been really thinking about life in general. Why ARE we put on this Earth? I think that we all DO have a reason, it's up to us to seek the reason why we exist through the period of our lives. FAMILY and FRIENDS are put on this Earth with us to keep us strong through tough times. Family was made for the moral and emotional support -- they keep us doing what we're supposed to be doing. Friends were made to keep us even stronger, but mostly to keep us happy and to give us a reason to look forward to each arriving day. So, family = love and nurture; and friends = more love and support. I think that in a way, us humans are kind of like a seed planted in the ground. The planter plants the seed in hopes that something beautiful will arise from it. Now, the seed cannot grow unless it is surrounded by some Earth, which in this case represents our family. The seed cannot grow without water or sunlight, which represents our friends. The planter, is of course, our Heavenly Father. The seed does not know its purpose until that actual hour it arrives. So like the seed, we know not what we are to become. So, as a young seedling, I ask that you, my friends and family, care for and nurture me with your love. Wait for the right time I'm ready to blossom. Because if you don't, like a neglected flower, I will wilt and bear no fruit.
Just some thoughts from this dorky girl...
About The Names | to scooter
Hey there buddy! Well to change your name to "the runner" you have to first sign into blogger. Then you'll get the options of where to sign into. And yehno those folders where you can see the journals you manage? You'll see a folder that says "Update Profile". Click on that and you can update your profile. Change your First Name to "the" and change Last Name to "runner". Okay? Tell me how it goes!

Right now I'm eating lunch, well actually, I'm done. This weekend I'm probably gonna be busy. On Saturday I'll be at a merit badge shindig. You guys don't need to know what that is. On Sunday I'll probably go to the classic car show at the waterfront, earning some community service hours hopefully. Yeah...
I want to go see Finding Nemo. It looks so cool.
Meet me at midnight
At the broadcast tower
High above the hollywood sign
You bring your guitar and I'll bring my radio (radio)
Everyone will come from miles around
To witness this beautiful site
We'll set bonfires and pretend its the 4th of July
This is the starting of a brand new revolution
Bite the hand that feeds
Stand up and fight against messages that they're sending
Stop their frequency
The Ataris: "Radio #2"
Thursday, May 29, 2003
I figure I gotta say something else in this blog. I've been on a lazy streak lately unless it pertains to chemistry. This will be my happy, positive blog. I guess. Well, what has happened that makes me overjoyed now?
Nothing really.
I should go do some homework and clean my room now.
And from now on, any lyrics I post are probably how I'm feeling, or the song is just so kick ass!

haha man that took me very long to interpret...im just kidding. anyways....so, as i expected we got our asses worked at practice today. pool water was nice and very cold though but coach made us do very hard stuff. my arms hurt and i am barely typing all this stuff...haha. whatever. it was fun though because after we got to work on dives and stuff. finally im back in shape.
well, went home to one very hot and stuffy room. cut my prom pics which really didn't turn out too bad. i mean, i was alone and stuff, but it didn't matter. haha. went ahead and cut them for later... our group pics had major rockage though...they came out really good. haha and katrina made a joke back in second period where you-know-who looked kinda constipated...haha it sorta does though once you think about it...heh. but anyways, they came out very nicely.
SoOoO....now i have two journals to take care of...grr. o_O... haha oh well...i think ill have to retire the life's ups and downs one because this one is just waaaay too cool. anyways...that old one was really bogus (joe D term haha). whatever..oh yeah and trials are finally over!! yay! and ms. brum brum isnt in for another two days!! YAy again! alrighty guys i think i've said enough...heh.
