today i'm going to my cousins 18th birthday party in Batavia
my mom and i were discussing all the different things u can do when u turn 18:
buy cigarettes and cigars, go to R-rated movies, vote, guys register, and the last one my mom could think of.... u can get into strip clubs   haha

i need a new watch.  and a hammock....

a little over a week left of Gomez. thank goodness!

its been such a long time since i've slept in. i miss it.  last week i was at school by 7 everday. then saturday i was at the thing at 7. and today was church.  i'm exhausted...

softball is actually kindof improving for me. i got to pitch in all 3 games last week... and WE WON!  this week we have 6 games... and 3 are on saturday    ughhh  we are now 8-7, not bad i guess.

here are some pics....

ps  20 days of school left!

well its been awhile, once again... haha

softball is going good i guess.  school is school. 
we started dissecting cats in bio yesterday    i seriously about threw up, i am NOT going to touch it!  our cats name is Gomez... hah

o the drama of biology survivor...

'i dont need no cpr, just give me a whipped cream bottle!

so the other day i had a doc appointment in kankakee, so i got to leave school for a little while.  i was on my way home to eat lunch and then go back to school to take a test, so i was trying to get home the quickest way possible...  i got lost twice! ahhh   i was def 30 minutes late to class  eek!

'what if i told u that u have a diaper on your head....

u know one of my dream things to do:  go to a concert at that Red Rocks auditorium in Colorado!  omg maybe i'd see dave matthews, or john mayer, or i dont know ANYONE!  .....   roadtrip!

so me, sally, and alex stalked some cowboy last night. that was pretty funny.  he ended up being some stupid deusch that they know...  hahha

whenever i'm in a bad mood, i listen to music. belt it out. and dance my little heart out....  i suggest doing that. its very relieving. and quite entertaining sometimes 

speaking of moods, this will put u in a good mood....
6 WEEKS OF SCHOOL, THEN SUUUMMMMMERRRRR
here are some pics to remind u of summer...

i think so

just a little update on my life:
volleyball is done
softball has started and my first game is tomorrow (i doubt we will win but who knows)
spring break is only 4 short days away!!
and my friends r still AMAZING, altho i feel like theres something missing and i dont know what it is...

*I have been a xanga member for 390 days!*

omg i love pics
there's no doubt about that, here's a few...

so who else is ready for summer??  i know i am!  i looked through a bunch of pics from last summer and i love them sooo much   anyone remember how i carried my camera everywhere! hah i never went anywhere without it, too bad its broken, now i want a digital   all i need is some money... i need a job
gas prices r soo high and i dont like it one bit

so i'm going through this phase where i'm obsessed with good ol' classic rock n roll. i dont know where the obsession came from, but i do know that I LOVE IT!  i know molly is sharin this obsession with me too  yea girl, ur awesome!

I need a new cd, any suggestions??

GO ILLINOIS!

everyone have a lovely week/Easter/spring break!
(hopefully i will update before then tho...)

i really think i need to go to bed right now..

the weirdest thing...  i have THE BIGGEST appetite EVER after a long day of volleyball. mmmmm  peanut butter  haha
