Don't touch, I may snap

The clock's ticking down...

YAG (Youth and Government) Model is officially starting tomorrow night. I leave for 4 days on Thursday morning. I'll be honest. I'm so nervous right now. This is my first year for everything and I don't even have any of my outfits picked out yet! I have to be completely packed by tomorrow night!!! My dad's taking me to get a dictaphone (all the hardcore reporters have 'em!!) tomorrow after school. Then I have to leave for the capitol before 6. AaaaahhhHHH! I'm shuddering just thinking about it. (Or is that just a draft?)

Thanks for your comments--sorry I moved. I just felt it was a bit necessary...again. And the comments regarding clothes? Even more helpful. I think I just need to relax a bit--"confidence is the best fashion accessory," right?

About the homicidal ex-uncle...uhhh, well, I'd prefer not to talk about it. It's a whole "Desperate Housewives" sort of situation, which my family is getting dragged into.

School, on the other hand--I've been working pretty hard to get all my crap tied up before Model. It's proving not a difficult as I thought it would be. I just have to keep up my own morale, since it seems to be working.

Don't even ask about softball--my sister's unhappy with it right now, and told Coach not to expect me until next week. We actually have 3 games the rest of the week (Wed, Thurs, Fri). I get to miss all of them! Yaaaaay! I'm also missing my dad's practice on Thursday and Opening Day for my Dad's team on Saturday. I don't want to miss Opening Day (It's long but fun) but Model's been planned for months. I'm not about to miss it.

Okay, as I wind this post down, I want to explain why exactly I changed my URL. Well, the main reason is that one of my friends from around here (aka school) was reading this blog. Although I didn't mind, recently I figured I wanted to talk about things that would make talking to her in person very awkward. That's all. so expect a bit more open-ness in the coming weeks.

I wanted to say something about Virginia Tech...but I can't. I'm still a bit upset by the whole thing. I didn't know anyone from there, but it's been making me feel bad the past couple hours, and all I wanted to do was try to take my mind off it.

I might not post tomorrow, I've been busy in computer class, and I won't have any time after school. If not...WISH ME LUCK AT MODEL!!!

PS- FOREIGNER'S COMIN' TO TOWN!! (w/Def Leppard, Styx) YEAAAAHHH!

Busy busy busy!
GOOD LUCK at YAG. That sounds weird. Like "yack" or something. Can't wait to hear all about it. So you want to be a journalist? That's freakin' awesome.

And yeah, the VA Tech horrors... it makes me sick to my stomach. Uughh.

Foreigner, huh? Sounds wicked.

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: ...
