Random Rambles

'Ello World,

Today we had registration for high school. So I went to the school, met up with friends, blah blah blah, completely ignored MCSG (if you didn't read my previous post this stands for Mr. Creepy Stalker Guy) when he tried to catch my attention... Okay hold up.

BOYS LESSON #4: Personally, if I see you do any of the following in an obvious attempt to get me to notice you I will see your obvious signs of interest (unless I'm being a normal girl/guy who can't (ever ever) take hints which is often) crack up laughing and/or think you're a creeper and/or totally see right through your tendency to "play it cool" (which by the way is SO annoying): a) roll around on a chair with wheels screaming, "WHEE!" b) saying hi to a group of friends I'm in that you've never met in your life, c) SHOUT SUPER LOUDLY ABOUT YOUR PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS FROM ALL THE WAY OVER THERE! ! ! d) stand 3 inches away from myface while dramatically staring into my eyes for 20 seconds, e) pull off the old fashioned sideways head turn directly towards me, f) etc. So if you're trying to pass unnoticed, don't do these things haha.

BOYS LESSON #5: If we girls pretend to not notice you and are successful, we win. No if, ands, or buts. So, either boldly run up and directly to our face say "Hey ___(insert name)__!" to get our attention or back off, you lose, and you are only making a fool of yourself by stalking us. (In my opinion of course)

Anyways, I've been going to rigorous soccer tryouts this week, and I just signed up for my dance lessons and a trapeze lesson this weekend. I'm excited! As far as school goes, and summer coming to an end... Well, I still have a week to live like a princess.

I feel like taking life as it comes is much easier.

BOYS LESSON #6: We girls have a right to act like a princess with these conditions: It's our birthday, we are playing pretend, we are in our own little world, and if you're being a jerk. Ha, well, we should be able to anyways.



So school starts in a week for me and guess what? I haven't even started my back to school shopping! There's one advantage to this: Waiting until after school starts to shop means that you hit all of the sales. But unfortunately I only have about 3 new outfits to wear for the first week of school. Don't ask why there is so much pressure to always have new clothes at least at the beginning of school. Apparently... Welcome to High School. We should really rebel against this.

Hey so turns out, I've already started to make a new identity for myself (as far as attitude and... well you know how people classify you in cliques at school? I've just dodged that train). I thought it would be so much more difficult. I just like shaking things up. So generally, I always strive for a new outlook/inlook (is that what they say when somebody is looking at you instead of you looking at the world?). The only bad part about this is many people struggle to figure out if I'm really acting like my true self or just being a little bit different.

And here's a little something I made. Originally I think I was going to use it to cover my binder for school but I decided I didn't want the world to see me as emo (which I must say this isn't a pleasant read). But you can look at it of course!


OH. Originally I was going to make a word art picture of the lyrics to a Taylor Swift song but I got sick of working so I put in different words. This is why you see the words Innocent and Haunting (Innocent and Haunted being 2 of her songs). Speaking of Taylor Swift, her concert is coming up and I finally found a buddy to go with. Yay!

CS Poem: Children's Eyes

Hey everyone it's Sadie! Here's another poem...although, I didn't write it myself. I love this poem...and thought you might like it too! It's from the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Series.

Children's Eyes (All credit goes to Tom Krause)

What kind of world is it my friend

that little children see?

I wonder if they see God first
because they just believe?

Do they see strength in caring eyes
who watch them as they play--
or maybe love through gentle hands
that guide them on their way?

Do you think they dream of future times
when they would be the king--
or just enjoy their present life
while with their friends they sing?

Do they see the acts of kindness
done for people who are poor?
Is the very best in everyone
what they are looking for?

And when the day is over,
as they close their eyes to sleep,
do they look forward to tomorrow
with its promises to keep?

If this is what the children see,
then it should be no surprise,
the world would be a better place
if we all had children's eyes.

I hope you enjoyed the poem! I read this one (among others) in the book and instantly fell in love with it. :)
Here's a quote: "Obstacles are those frightful things that you see when you take your eyes off your goal."

Poem: Listen. Can You Hear it?

Here's a poem I wrote called:

Listen. Can You Hear it?
The Other day
I was wisked away
to a land that very few know
I stopped just to lay
beneath the bright stars
glowing brightly
but just too far
too far to reach
too far to wish
too far for me as one
It's always me
but never you
will I ever understand?
I want to say
so you will know
the facts about this life
my life has crossed
the path of yours
I hope you know that's good
the connection we have
is special indeed
but only if you notice and lead
I've been to this land
so please take my hand
I'll share all is new
the time I have with you
will you please join me
lets go to this land
just you and me-- friends
I've know you forever
but yet have nothing to show
so tomorrow we'll go
to the land very few know
and this secret to you I will show.

Dream. Believe. Imagine

Hey everyone reading the blog!
Dream. Believe. Imagine.
Such great words..but, I feel like they're often overlooked because people focus too much on the small things in life that aren't going right instead of the things they have to be able to look forward to...I'm guilty too though.

You need to have dreams, believe they are possible, and then imagine the ways you will make them come true.

I remember the time when I was little and my friend who's almost like a sister to me said: "You'll never be able to do THAT (be a teacher) since you can't even read that well; are you CRAZY?!!!" and it made me really think. I've known for over half of my life that I'm 'different' in more than just the typical ways, but when my friend said this to me after I claimed I was going to be a 5th grade teacher when I was in 3rd grade; I wondered why she would say something like that, but over time I've a. forgiven her for 'killing my dreams' as I saw it at that point, and b. realized that being different makes judgement from others come quicker, but it also allows you to see the world in different ways. Despite the fact that being a teacher was my dream and I had been planning to go that 'route' when I got older, I've realized that being a teacher is definitely not what I want to do with my life...and that something else is....Marine Biology. I'm fascinated by the ocean and marine life, so now that I'm older, that's my dream. I believe it's possible. and I've definitely imagined a variety of ways to make that happen... ><>

EVERYONE should read this...my Mom showed it to me a few days ago and it's all so true (even if there are some that don't really apply directly to me...I still love it.)

"I am thankful...


.. for the husband who complains when his dinner is
not on time, because it means he is home with me, not
with someone else.


.. for the teenager who is complaining about doing
dishes, because it means she/he is at home, not on the
streets.


.. for the taxes that I pay, because it means that I
am employed .


.. for the mess to clean after a party, because it
means that I have been surrounded by friends.


.. for the clothes that fit a little too snug,
because it means I have enough to eat.


.. for my shadow that watches me work, because it
means I am out in the sunshine.


.. for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need
cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it
means I have a home.


.. for all the complaining I hear about the
Government, because it means we have freedom of speech.



.. for the parking spot I find at the far end of the
parking lot, because it means I am capable of
walking, and that I have been blessed with
transportation.


.. for my huge heating bill, because it means I am
warm.


.. for the lady behind me in church that sings off
key, because it means that I can hear.


.. for the pile of laundry and ironing, because it
means I have clothes to wear.


.. for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the
day, because it means I have been capable of working
hard and using those limbs.


.. for the alarm that goes off in the early morning,
because it means that I am alive.

And finally


.... for too much e-mail, because it means I have
friends who are thinking of me and are trying to make
me smile even when they are out of touch.

Thanks for reading!! :)
