The last few days I've just been realizing how amazing my life is.
Not to brag or anything, I'm more putting other people in front of me here.
My best friends Meghan and Kirsten are the greatest people in the world. I don't even know how I ended up with them for my best friends. It just amazes me. Honestly.
They understand my sense of humor exactly, and that's really important to me. Hehe...
Not only that, they're kind, thoughtful, good-hearted, and outgoing. They don't care about what other people think of them. When I first started hanging out with both of them, it seemed to me that I was the craziest one in public and that they were too embarassed to just let loose. Now it seems I get embarassed more than them! Haha... But that's beside the point. 
Kirsten and Meghan are always there to talk when I need them, and since the end of school last year both of them have helped me out in significant ways. Whether it be advice, comfort, or whatever the circumstance is.

In addition to Meghan and Kirsten, I have other friends! Woohoo! Hehe... I don't feel like naming them, but pretty much, they all know how to cheer me up as well, and they get me laughing pretty hard! I don't have that connection with all of them, as I do with Meghan and Kirsten, but I love them all very much, and I'm happy that I got to know them this past year and summer.

And my family... Of course I don't get along with them 24/7, nobody does, but I've come to realize that I really love my brothers and parents. Though my mom may have a stick up her butt and my brother(s) are selfish when it comes to the smallest things, I know that I can come to them about anything.
Matt (18) is leaving in three days to Whitworth in Spokane. We've had many a-fight, and there have been many times I literally thought I wanted him dead, but honestly, I'm going to miss him more than ever. I'll see him every now an then on the weekends, at Christmas, and all next summer, but I really love that little Mateo and I'm sad to know that his high school years are over. He's had a good run. Hehe
And Jeff (24)... I don't see him that often but I love him sooo much! He's been through alot of rough times, and he's made it through them. He's strong, mentally, physically, and emotionally, I believe. He's a wonderful, kind, loving guy.
I really can't pick favorites when it comes to my brothers, but I have a good friendship with my brother Andrew (22). I don't know what it is, but my mom says since I was a baby I got along with him better than with Matt or Jeff. Andrew is my hero. He's been through alot of hardships throughout his life, when he was young, and when he got older, but he's made it through most of that stuff, and it just shows how strong of a person he is. My parents may not agree with everything good I say about him but I believe it 100%.

So basically, I'm probably the happiest right now than I've ever been before.

I hate fighting with parents.
This is the stereotypical "teen blog" or whatever, but I really don't care.
Every time my mom doesn't let me go somewhere or hang out with friends, I get mad at her. Of course. So we start fighting and all that, then I just get grounded so I can't do ANYTHING. When I'm angry at my parents, that's the time I want to get out of the house the very most. And I just can't, because they won't let me go anywhere.
GAHH!
Like I said, it's a never-ending cycle with them.
About anything. Pick a subject and I'll give you an example.

"If you could be another person for a day, who would it be and why?"

If had had to choose to be a person, I would like to live impoverished in Africa, China, Iraq, et cetera. I think it would teach me alot to be thankful for, because I know I take things for granted. But if I had my choice, I would not be another person. I believe that wishing for someone else's life makes you think that your's isn't worth living, and that if you could JUST have what that other person has, you would be as happy as them. That's not true. I think I would like to be an object. Like a snowflake, passing by kids laughing, having fun as they take advantage of every moment of winter. Or a sunray, maybe helping cheer up somebody's day with my warmth. Or a camera, holding onto happy picture memories. Those are the best kinds. A picture says a thousand words, sometimes more... Maybe it would be cool to be a pair of glasses, and maybe find out how others see the same things differently than I see them. So there's my answer.

First entry. Awright...
So I'm part of my school's upcoming play. I'm not in it, but I might be. I don't know.
I also signed up for my school's swim team, and practices for both are at just about the same time everyday. I know I would most likely enjoy drama more, but there will be more plays I can help out with this year. And swim would be better for me physically. I don't even know what to do.
