so i was reading one of my way old surveys that i did, and here was one of the questions, and my answers:
THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE:
1. run at least 3 marathons
2. find the love of my life
3. be a rock star
i haven't thought about those in a while. since summer i think. there was more stuff on the survey, but my feelings have changed toward most of those. i love looking back on memories.. it's so cool. just to remember everything. this past summer was so awesome. anyway.. i think that these are still my goals in life. seriously. i really do wanna run at least 3 marathons before i die (hopefully one or two of those being the boston marathon). i really do wanna meet the love of my life, but that'll come when it will. and i really do wanna be a rock star. maybe not like your typical rock star, but some type of musician that puts music out. that'd be so great.. i just gotta get some songs out. that'll come too.. i'm counting on it. i don't even know why i blogged about this. i think i still have homework. oh well.

sunday again. i could've sworn i posted earlier this week. i did in my myspace, but that doesn't count because that wasn't even a real post. haha.
so, this thanksgiving break was probably the best one i've ever had. wednesday i headed over to zack's and then we went over to the airport to pick up B-RAD! oh man, it's been sweet having him over. and it was like nothing changed at all. like he never even moved or anything. of course, that came back to bite us all tonight, because it felt like he was moving all over again. i love you though brad (no homo). you're one of the greatest friends anyone could ask for.
thanksgiving was pretty friggin awesome. i spent it at zack's of course. but ealier in the day we got a little bored i guess. so we headed over to starbucks for like two hours or something, and just sat around and talked. it was cool because i walked up to the counter, right? i got the peppermint mocha, and handed the lady a 20. she was like, "oh crap, i don't have any smaller bills.. do you have any?" i was like, "nope, all i have is two 1's." she was like, "ok, just take it, and don't worry about it. happy thanksgiving." man that was so awesome. that totally brightened my day. then we had the traditional meal, and that was good. thanks ms. susie for cooking! i know you're reading this. haha too bad i told her thank you like fifty million times while i was at her house. she did a lot for us, and i just wanted to let her know everything was appreciated.
friday came and that was cool too. me, nathan, and brad hung out at starbucks and stuff, and then went back to zack's. zack didn't get home a little later because he had to work though. he had to work like friggin all break. except thursday. oh well. no worries i guess. anyway, we had that huge get-together, and everyone came. it was so fun. we had the fire going and everything. i don't even know how to explain it.. it was probably the best time i've had in a long time. i'm really really glad i'm making memories before i leave.
yesterday i didn't really do much. just chilled at zack's till my stepdad came and picked me up. nothing else really happened.
today i went to the early service at church. i really needed it, yet again. haha. i guess you never really don't need church. i cam home, got some hw done, then headed over to amanda's to chill with brad one last time. we had a good time, with our pizza and half-finished game of cranium. then we all went over to lindsey's and had like a fooseball / air hockey tournament. it was awesome. then we had our good-byes, and it was all over but the cryin' i guess. haha.
so it was a good break. hope everyone else had as good a time as i did.

back in a good mood, mostly. nothing really to complain about, but i'm just kind of in that post-bad mood blah. it'll continue to get better i'm sure, till around Christmastime. then after Christmas it'll be like.. "the good times awe ovew!" hahaha.
thursday was 1221.. that was pretty cool. it was a very different service, but it was good nonetheless. nothing happened at school, except me and emma decided that we'd probably be going to winter ball together. i'm pretty friggin' excited about that.
the much needed friday seemed like it dragged on for about 5 years. i swear, it was the longest friday ever. this week has been super long. i dunno why. anyway, nothing really happened again at school. school's gay. then my stepdad rented batman begins and we watched most of that, but didn't finish because he had to go to bed or whatever. then zack came over till pretty late. we took a myspace picture or two, and then he headed home.
yesterday i had the turkey trot on base. HUWOW good thing me and heather scraped everybody. no body worth running against came really. oh well, it was nice to get recognized for once. usually i've got 4 runners ahead of me, and they get all the attention. but that's not what i run for, so i'm not complaining. anyway, i didn't do anything else like all day after that.
today.. was just a normal sunday. i went to anja's for a little bit and hung out. that's about it.
yeah.

ok so. november is making me really mad. i mean, what kind of effing weather is this?! 74 degrees, really? how gay. that's not how it works, november. this is the month where it gets all chilly and whatnot. just to ease us into the cold. but now since it's all hot and crap, the cold's gonna come and like kill us. because we won't be ready for it. stupid november. i'd love you, but i hate you for being stupid.
uhhhhhh. another thing about november. friggin.. alaska is coming so quick. i really have a feeling it's gonna hit me hard before i realize it's here. i'm really not ready for it.. not ready to leave here. hopefully i will be before i move, but i don't know. i'm not saying that a part of me isn't excited, because i am. it's just that it's something that's outside of my understanding and knowledge, so it's really scary. i wish i could say i wasn't moving. but.. that's life.
i've run only once this week. i was supposed to run yesterday and today, but i didn't. i'm already slacking off and it's my first week. why do i do this to myself? i don't understand. hopefully i run tomorrow, i need it for the turkey trot on saturday. we'll see how that goes.
just like i said in my end of the year post: school tends to make us a little bitter. i need a holiday or something. a long one. that won't involve moving.
i hate having regrets.

i'm getting back into the habit of posting like once a week. which means long posts. no one likes long posts, except maybe me. oh well.
so this was the last week of cross country. we had practice like normal up until like wednesday. actually, what am i saying? it wasn't normal practice. monday we had intervals, tuesday we had an easy three mile day, and wednesday we went to rush ranch to run pursuit drills. that was pretty fun i guess. anyway, our race was yesterday in folsom, and i ran an ok race. my time wasn't all that great, but i came in third on our team instead of fifth like i normally would've. that was pretty cool, but i think the guys that normally beat me weren't exactly happy with me. haha whatever, that's their problem.
friggin a'.. lundy gave us the freaking assignment for the essay for "Julius Caesar." GAYNESS. i hate writing papers on books or anything that has to do with academics. i just like my blog. that's it.
so yeah, my mom came over on thursday night. it's been pretty sweet, seeing her again. she has to leave again though on sunday. then for thanksgiving we have to stay here because plane tickets are so FREAKING expensive. oh well i guess, nothing i can do about it. at least i get to see brad when he comes in.. that should be pretty sweet.
i would just like to say that last night was the weirdest most crazy night ever. but i won't talk about it.. too personal.
man.. today at AE i got this player fleece pullover thing. it's pretty clean i have to say. i think that's all i have to say.
"you were right zack.. it is the WEIRDEST FEELING EVER." lol.

it's finally cold. i love cold weather. it's so good to run in. except too bad cross country is almost over. i dunno what to say about that. i guess i'm happy that the season's over, but i can't say i'm totally enjoying the fact that it's almost gone. i'm happy that i won't be as busy and whatnot, but those guys are like my family or something. plus knowing that this is my last season here.. it's really saddening. i dunno.. this cross country season's end only means that alaska is drawing ever closer. i don't know what to think about that either. i mean.. i'm excited about moving. i don't like saying that but i really am. it's gonna be something new, totally different, out of the ordinary. maybe that's just what i need. but man, leaving these people here.. God, i don't want to leave them. i don't think the realization will hit me until after i've left though. i guess we'll see. or i'll see.
anyway, back to what i was originally gonna talk about. not much happened during the week really. i got my report card on thursday. all A's, whatchu know?! i haven't done that since.. 6th grade. i barely pulled it off though. friggin' science. oh well, i did it. that's all that counts. friday was homecoming, but i didn't go because me and zack and sarah decided to go to the mall and the movies. zack bought a sweatshirt and a track jacket. cuh-lean. then we went to jamba juice and the movies. 'Legend of Zorro' was actually pretty good. after that i went back to zack's house and spent the night there.
MRS. SUSIE (zack's mom) IS THE COOLEST EVER!
zack and i got up yesterday morning at like 8 so i could head down to vanden because we had sub-sections at angels camp. the car ride there was so funny. we were listening to dane cook and cracking up like the whole way. the race wasn't all that great though. since osa wasn't there we got 8th place, which barely got us to sections. none of us ran extremely well, and mike didn't run well at all. i dunno what happened. hopefully we do better at the section meet on friday.
which reminds me, my mom's coming home for a few days next weekend! she'll be here for the section meet, so that'll be pretty sweet. then in a couple of weeks (if we don't make it to the state meet. which is highly doubtful right about now), we'll go to houston for thanksgiving and spend it with family and my mom. that should be pretty sweet.. and if i go down, i'll be able to do the downtown turkey trot in houston on thanksgiving morning. should be sweet, but i'm 'bout to get scraped out there. crazy fast runners in texas, you don't even know.
i hope when it rains, it rains hard. none of that drizzle crap. how random.
