Controlled Chaos
My life has been some sort of... controlled chaos. So many random things, good & bad, have been happening.
People I'd grown to trust have walked out of my life. The ones that I thought would be there vanished. Then again, I've met new people and found who were true friends.
I just got my liscense (finally) and the wristlet containing that and the rest of my money also miraculously vanished. From that, I learned that no matter what, I was always going to be the honest person to turn something like that in.
And now in broader terms..
In such an ugly world, how can anyone possibly be happy? With poverty, war, crime, hatred, and all other bad things, how can anyone smile or even laugh?
Guess what? I've determined that I am going to be happy. I am going to live with the bad and sad because there is so much out there that is good. In this world, there is more beauty and love than anyone can imagine.
I guess what I'm trying to say throught this rant is that life is too short to be upset. Just smile, enjoy the wonderful people and life you have, and realize that everything will eventually work out.
"Good things happen to good people."
Here's some of that beauty I was telling you about...

It's Been Tooo Long.
Well, hello again to anyone who reads this silly little thing. my life has been so, so busy the past month with school coming to a close and summer coming into full bloom. With that said.... I'm back!
All I really have to say is that I have the most amazing friends in the entire wide world. Actually, no. I take that back. I have the greatest friends that have ever existed. Ever. Period. Kailey, Abby, & Pinks, I love you dearly.
My swim girls are also way high up there on the awesome scale. HMat, Swiss, Schaep, & Jules, I could not survive everything I go through and everything I've been through without your support and friendship. And our bff bracelets are wicked sweet :D
So for now, I leave you with one other discovery I've made.... Old Greg.
It is confusing, disturbing, and quite frankly, hilarious. You'll be quoting it for days even if you hate it :D

You Can't Break Me.
You have been trying to take away everything from me. My friends, my reputation, my accomplishments, my life. But you know what... you can't. You can do what you would like, but you can't beat me. I will NOT break down. I know what is right, what is the truth, and who really matters.
Unlike you, I have a clear conscience, true friends, and a good head on my shoulders. Everything I've earned has been through my own hard work and commitment. I'm not exactly sure you can say the same thing. I don't use people or have to pretend to be somebody to be well liked.
I also don;t have to get satisfaction and pleasure from bashing you. I don't talk trash about you, damage your reputation, or even think about you. I am a better person than that.
So please, continue your trash-talk, your attempts to hurt me. But I would just like to tell you, you aren't ever going to break me. You will not win. I'm gonna keep my head up, brush my shoulders off, and smile.
Just remember: Good things happen to good people.
I know I will remember that :)

PC's Best Week Ever
Wow, it's been awhile since the last post. Anyways, here's an update on my past week.
Monday was normal. Wake up, school, home, drylands, swim, home, sleep.
Tuesday was lame. Wake up at 4 am for morning practice. Practice 5 to 6:15. Get out and get ready. Rush to school. Get lots of homework. Drylands, swim, then home at 9. Then finally, sleep.
Wednesday started off good. Mom called me in from school to do homework and sleep. Favorite aunt called to take me out to lunch and pick up little cousin from school. While walking down the stairs, I stepped funny onto the wet floor and totally screwed up my ankle. Could barely stand up and felt sick after hearing the loud "pop/crack". Go out to lunch anyways. Come home for senior trip meeting. Ankle is very bruised and about the size of a softball. Four people come to the meeting. By this time, I'm very upset. Friends leave, and I go to sleep.
Thursday was a good day. Wake up, go to school. Both presentations scheduled for today are pushed back to Friday. See really good motivation speaker/assembly about friendships and stuff. Finish school and go home. Drylands to do abs for a solid hour since my ankle was the size of a baseball and was blue and purple. Swim for two hours. Coach was proud that I made it through the whole thing. Finally, I could go home. Sleep.
Then comes Friday, oh wonderful Friday. It was such an amazing day that I am going to write in full sentences for it! I wake up, get ready, and my hair looks really good. I see pretty much everyone that I freakin' love (that goes to my school) and go to my first hour. I totally nail my presentation and get a 100%! Later on, I nail my english project with my partner and everyone loved it. This hour became possibly the greatest class of my life. The people around me, well my friends, and I cracked so many jokes and actually laughed out loud during one presentation. It was amazing. All four of us left the class crying because of the intense laughter. The rest of the day goes by flawlessly. Now on to after school...
I didn't go to drylands today because we were playing ultimate frisbee, which I couldn't really play becuase of the ankle. So I go to swim and actually do really well. I got invited to go to Clutch Cargo's (which is a real club) for teen night with some of the older swimmer that I don't know very well. I was gonna have to have my mom drive me, which wouldn't be half as fun. Luckily, an extra spot in the car opened up, so I could go with them. We go to one girl's house to get ready and then pile into her car to go. On the ride there, we almost got lost in the creepiest area in the dark (Yikes!) We get there and find a really good parking spot. So finally we get inside and it is like really sweet looking, but there weren't any hot guys there, and all of the girls looked like they just got off from their job as a hooker. Like two minutes later, we see this girl grinding on some guy, with her whole butt hanging out. I swear, we laughed for like an hour straight at that. We were all dancing and sticking together and having a blast. My friend and I are both pretty tall, and there were only like short guys who were halfway decent looking, so we instantly became magnets for fat thug nasty guys. (fyi a thug nasty is someone who thinks that they are ghetto, but in reality, are not. more commonly known as a 'wigger') So we had to all bail each other out several times from dancing with creepers, which ended up being really hilarious. So we leave at about 11:45 and decide that it is time to make a run a the border, aka make a Taco Bell run. We were all super hyper and it was just amazing. Like no other words explain. I finally get picked up from my friends house at 12:45 and get home at like 1:30 after picking up my brother form his friends. Morning practice, ahaha.
The past two days have been random, mostly just swim and working around the house since I don't have any homework :)
Well, that was the week update. I'm sure you could not have enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed living it.

Cause It's A Bittersweet Symphony
Aside from being the first song on my playlist, this song truly is a "me" song. The lyrics are so meaningful, if you actually listen to them. From the first time I heard the song, I've been in love with it. It's just exactly what I feel. The orchestra in the beginning and background just makes it THAT much better. Ahh, I just love it. I am such a music person. One of my friends even calls me "The Human Jukebox". There are many songs that I just connect to as well as this one!
Well, I must go to practice #2 for today. Later haters ;)

Case Closed.
So aside from today being the first day back to the stuctured institution of school, also known to some as hell, or to others as prison (because our school has no windows and is completely blank, white brick), it was decent. I actually got to see the awesome people that I didn't see over break. It was mostly a big blur, and I think I kind of just floated through the hallways and class today.
Last night I turned on the tv and started watching "Cold Case". It's basically CSI + Law and Order + Without A Trace - gory details and the "chung chung" every scene. It's about unsolved cases from the past, ranging from the 1940's to even last year. (Most of the plots are fictional, I believe.) Moving on . . .
The episode I was watching had to do with a deaf teenager who had gone missing from his school about a year ago. So the detectives went to interview people he knew at school and his parents. They finally figure out that a girl who volunteered at the school to teach piano and this kid were together before he disappeared. They had to keep this relationship on the down low because her dad thought that the boy would hold her back and all that junk. When the dad said that, it made me think. "How would he hold her back?" and "They should be together." Mostly because... Let's think now... I'm a teenage girl. Enough said. He and the girl could communicate via ASL so, it could've totally worked. He also ended up having a cocchlear implant so he could hear the piano he played, and of course, her. The sad thing is, before he can see her and hear her, he gets offed by his best friend, who is deaf and jealous that this implant would'nt work for him. At the end of the episode, after they solve the case, the girl sees his ghost or an apparition of him, and signs to him "i love you" and he signs it back. With that, I naturally got choked up and almost began to cry.
If I met the kid in real life, I would totally date him, if he could hear or not. He was funny, witty, charming, and OH MAN, HE WAS A CUTIE. (I'm sorry, it had to be said.) But, what I'm trying to say is, just because someone is different should never be a reason to not be with them. If you like them, then go right ahead and go out with them or whatever.
Was that a rant or what? I'm not sure. Ta ta for now! :D

The Doctor Is In...
A lot of people I know come to me with their problems. The funny thing is, I don't mind it. Ever since about seventh grade, I've been a relationship counselor and shrink for so many people. My friends come to me with a lot of things, and they know I wouldn't tell unless it was for there own safety.
If anyone out there needs to get something off of their chest, needs some help, or just an ear to listen, I'm here. I promise, I'll do what I can to help out or make you laugh. (I've been told I can be funny sometimes :P)

Well, this is my first entry, and I'll to keep it up to date. So, I'm basically a normal teenager. Nothing special, eh? I don't drink, smoke, and I stay out of trouble. My friends have blogs, so I figured that I'd give one a try. I'm trying to figure this all out, so hopefully I'll eventually get it. :) I'm always busy with school and swim. I pretty much signed my life away to my team, but that's okay. I love my team<3
But for now, I'm off to mess around with this thing!
