Weirdest Swim Meet Ever

Wow okay first of all championships are in one week and I am freaking out like crazy. Second of all I managed to cut down my time to some where in the 28 seconds [point something I couldn't understand the timers] but a whole second :]

About that freestyle race, [it was so weird]. I'll do a play- by- play:

1.) I was in the bullpen after getting my card and waiting on the bench with these girls who were .3 seconds faster than me [I was freaking out about that one]

2.) I got up to the blocks and everybody started freaking out even though I was in the right heat and event

3.) My coach who was also the announcer was like "Deborah come over here"

4.) He told me I missed my event even though my event was just about to dive off the blocks

5.) My mom started freaking out

6.) I then got my own personal Heat with my name and everything

It doesn't seem that weird when I read over, but let me tell you, when your coach is like "Okay Deborah will be doing a solo swim today, Deborah step onto the Block, Deborah take you mark...." it feels really weird with about 200 people watching you

Not to mention he was talking about me the whole 28 seconds I was swimming, and asked everybody to give me a round of applause, and nobody did [I was glad but it was also really awkward]

Whew,
Anyways In Other News:

-Jackie has a short story contest on her blog, it is a free- write but here is an idea, you could write an alternate ending to Twilight [just a thought coming from a judge :) ]
-Just when I thought spring was coming a huge snow storm came

2.) Queen Of Haartz amazing writing with touching stories. My favorite post by Denise is Twilight Series is Astounding wow I love Edward Cullen, but those of you who have Twilight already know exactly why.

3.) a little bit of my life one of my favorite personal blogs, Jackie talks about her everyday life whatnot with her community- famous family, and skating, and how she really feels about swimming (her dad is a swim coach) However I hope that she will not stop blogging like she says in her most recent post. :[ maybe this award will cheer her up!!

Tessa shares her daily mini epiphanies, shards of wisdom, and daily highlights, and sometimes even her awesome photography. My favorite post by Tessa is disney land... :) hooray. I loved the story about her keeping running into a really cute guy.

And I would like to thank a blog called the Stylista Police, without them I would have never started blogging [even if I did start out of vengance.]

Guitar Hero Meltdown

Well okay maybe not a meltdown, but I kinda got crushed in Guitar Hero a couple of minutes ago. When I say crushed I mean destroyed, demolished, kicked to the dirt (I'm not a sore loser or anything)

(apologies about the short post, there will be a new post soon)

Mario Kart Champion (oh yeah thats right)

J's first guest post!

Today is going by faster than I thought! Except for the fact tomorrow is Monday. The-first-day-back-and-everyone-looks-like-they're-the-living-dead-day. (Well, it’s sometimes true!) And, if your teacher doesn't get their coffee before school starts, you’re going to be dead before the morning even ends. But, hopefully everything will be ok.

Other than school, I might know what I am going to be for Halloween! I either might be an angel, or a devil. Or maybe even an angel with devil horns or vice-versa. Sadly boredom has taken the best of me about every weekend. Although to fix the boredom I signed up for nature drawing classes that are on Monday's from 2:30-3:30. And I am really excited. (Well, its one of the only activities left at school) Hopefully everything works out well.

Sincerely,
J

Obsessions

As I usually do when I'm bored, I was shopping around on the Internet. I went to the Bergdorf Goodman site looked around, and what do you know, Juicy Couture Monopoly. Okay, I know Juicy Couture is big but how obnoxious is Juicy Couture Monopoly? Which is entirely why I want it. Okay so you guessed it i LOVE Juicy Couture, and practically collect it, but hey, we all have an obsession, it might be everything pink, baseball cards, Japanese Soda Bottles, Or Movie tickets, mine just happens to be Juicy Couture. So when I see something like this game in my obsession, I jump for joy (while everybody else cringes). Just wanted to fill you in (and I kind of have to post because of NaBloPoMo). So Toodles!

Sincerely,
J

The Very Public and Unflattering Picture

We've all had it, that all too public and very unflattering picture posted somewhere. When you're least expecting it, the person with the eye for capturing the most terrible pictures, snaps away. Days later (or weeks as the case may be) the picture is there in the limelight for everyone to see, forever.

Recently this picture of me showed up. I was displeased to see a very unpleasing picture of myself in a recent photo stream. At first I was very upset and walked around venting. But after a few minutes I decided that in a few months people would start

forgetting about it. Even though I know I'll still be reminded about it, that I should not

waste perfectly good time that I could spend having fun. Anyways......

Sincerely,

J
