¿Que pasa contigo, mi hermano?

Man, I've really been battling through my Chemistry and Algebra 2 work lately. And the good thing? I'm getting more confident about my work. Yay. I'm happy. Nah, happy's a yuppie word. I dunno. I'm feeling good. Not as lost as I was. It's all thanks to some awesome friends and really smart YAG kids that will help with anything! Thanks again, guys.

We had a softball game today. And although it'd be appropriate to give details about the game, I don't see why I should. I DIDN'T PLAY. I hate being on JV.

I'm slightly put out that I can access my blogger account on the school server, but I can't see my own blog or several others because they've been blocked. But I can view Steph's, so you should go and check hers out.

Topic of discussion today, kids? Well, I figured we'd talk about smoking, since a bill against smoking in public places came up tonight at YAG.

I can't stand it.

I don't care how old you are, how long you've been addicted, the stress you're under--it doesn't matter. Smoking is a DISGUSTING habit. My mother's been smoking for 20+ years, and she is the most inconsiderate smoker ever. Not that smokers are bad people--they're not. It's just...butts....nasty...UGH! I can't even put my frustration into comprehensible sentences! Try living with my mother for 15 years (this May it'll be 16!) and CONSTANTLY have to ask this woman to move her ashtray away from your food in the kitchen, or out of the way of a cabinet you're trying to get to.

Cigarette smoke is like a snake, and your nose just happens to be its warm place. No matter WHERE I am in the entire sitting room/kitchen, a wisp of smoke finds its way up my nostrils until I feel like I have a sinus infection.

And did I mention...IT STINKS?

I can barely spend more than an hour in the areas my mother frequents, the odor of her Eve Light 120 Menthols is so strong. It sticks to every surface in the house. When I was younger and exploring the ways everyone's houses smell different, everyone always told me that my house smelled like cigarette smoke and candles (my mother is a candle freak due to the fact that she tries to mask the pungent smell of smoke).

I know I've said this, but I JUST. CANNOT. STAND. IT.

I hate smokers and their annoying habits. They stink, they make me stink, and they're slowly killing me. I agree with the kid with the bill on banning smoking in public places. I don't want to have to hold my breath to eat my cheeseburger in a god damn restaurant! Sure, smokers have rights and all that bullshit, but I think that first and foremost, I have the right to breathe clean air. It even said that in my red Kermit the Frog book I read when I was little, which I can't find right now, but I think I may have just quoted. (It was called
For Every Child, A Better World)

Anyways...that's all she wrote. :)

You know, if you lived in CA you could just live in your car because they're passing a law here that you can't smoke in cars with minors in them.

I hate nanny laws. I really do. I wish people would just use their noodles instead. I mean seriously, how are they going to enforce this one???

Kick some serious ass, and don't forget to take names

Holy shiza. I can't believe we did that. I won't keep you in suspense...but today...(Dramatic pause)...I quit fastpitch softball. I'll start at the beginning. Yesterday we had our first official slowpitch game (aka for my father's team). I went, because honestly--how can you not go to your own father's game? Not to mention, the fastpitch game was a make-up that we didn't know about until last week. So we--my older sister Devyn, a friend of mine named Ashley--went to our slowpitch game. After all, my dad needed us and we would've had to forfeit if we didn't have enough girls to play. So we sort of ditched the fastpitch game. But it was NBD, seriously. Ashley NEVER plays in a fastpitch game. She sits the bench EVERY game, yet shows up for every practice, all the time. So naturally she's going to go to the game where she gets a chance to play, and not to mention she's good at it. My sister, on the other hand, is a senior. She's paid her dues. S...

Just another Monday

I took some pictures today, figuring I knew that I wouldn't feel up to posting something gigantic. And I'm not. We had another softball game this afternoon, and even though I played for about...3½ minutes, I'm still wiped from having to spend the entire game on my feet (and add that up to my day and school, and it's cause for exhaustion). My 3½ minutes in the spotlight was when my coach decided that we were losing bad enough (We lost 17-10 or something like that) that it wouldn't do any harm to put the Junior Varsity Princess (aka moi, if you're that thick) into the game. The batter's box, to be precise. I guess I wasn't good enough to defend the field. :( Whatever. So, I must've been a lot more nervous than I thought I was, because everyone kept telling me to relax. I didn't feel nervous, but when I struck out (I went down swingin', ya bastards!) and returned to the dugout, I realized that my hands were shaking. Well, here are the pictures.....

Go on and lose it

"Everybody makes mistakes/Everybody has those days..." -Hannah Montana Yeah Miss Montana? Well, I doubt you've had the day I've had. Enter: Wake up at 6:00 in the morning on a Saturday. Get in the shower, dress, and eat breakfast. Wonder why I'm up so early? I have a Youth and Government shindig. I get ready to go, and then wake my dad up at 7:30 and tell him we should go soon. I have to be there by 9 am, and it's about a half-hour away. That translates to an hour or so with me driving (still on my permit, so Dad has to come) and the fact that we don't exactly know where the Anita Tuvin Schlecter building is. I drove fine on the way there, no one died. =) We get there, and we were kind of lost--but that wasn't that big of deal. We were still early and we found the place all right. I also found my friend from Y&G who had told me what was going on today. We stood outside the ATS building...and it was locked. There wasn't a soul in sight. Me: ...
