Tim Ward told me to update my blog,

so here goes...

I found this lake by my house the other day when I was on my bike ride. Its super nice and quiet there. I sat there for like an hour the other day just thinking about stuff...about everything. I could easily say its my favorite place in the world right now.

I love writing and receiving letters. Its just exciting to get something in the mail other than bills and pointless stuff. I wrote one today. Kind of. Half the page is a whole bunch of pointless doodling. Still a letter though.

Goose, expect a letter in a few days!!
They have such good fries!!

After skating vans for four hours, I was pretty hungry. A new Denny's opened up by my house. A trip was needed.
I got a piece of pumpkin pie.
 When I got home I made sushi. Veggie dogs, soy sauce, white rice and nori.

I love going to Vans. I hate the fact that I'm comfortable skating there though. It makes it so I'm lazy to look for another place to skate. I went today. It was great. Today was one of those days were I actually felt like I belonged on a skateboard. I don't. Not really. If I was I would've been born with one attached to my feet. I wasn't.
Sometimes I seriously consider quitting. I'd finally be able to wear kewt dresses and skirts and not have bruises and cuts all over my legs. I wouldn't have cuts and scrapes all over my elbows. Coaches and teachers in high school used to think I got beat at home. No more hip and butt pain. No more wrecked shoes. No more busted ankles. No more spending money on boards. I don't think I could ever quit though. I love it too much. It keeps me happy. I seriously wouldn't know what to do with my free time. Maybe I'd hang out with girls and do girl stuff. Maybe I'd spend more time at the mall. Maybe I'd watch more tv, read more books, sleep more. Ehh.
The dudes that work and skate there just make it that much more of an awesome day. They're so..so..nice. Mike gave me wheels. Kyle keeps me laughing. Yoda is amazing at skating and is friends with everyone. Bryan and Brentley are just...awesome dudes. I fall alot. Always have. Always will. I fall, and there they are making sure I'm okay. I usually don't like it, the whole double standard thing, but it's starting to grow on me. Anyway..its pretty cool to have those dudes around.
Everytime I go skate vans I try to learn something new or learn how to do what I already know how to do on something bigger. I think everytime I've gone I've been able to do that. Today...fifty fifty all the way across the ledge back into the bank.
I fell alot today...a pretty normal thing for me. Sometimes it sucks. Most of the times falling is the way I know that I'm learning. My arms hurt from running into the wall, legs and shins hurt, my butt hurts, my head hurts, my hands hurt. There was one fall where I thought I was going to be done for the night. I don't know what happened. I slipped out, bounced off the ledge and landed on the rail. My ribs and knee felt like they were going to explode. They didn't. Obviously. I got it in the end though. It was good.

Today is a beautiful day! I actually got sleep last night. I didn't have to listen to music to sleep. I just slept for a long time...longer than usual. I got home around 2 am and went straight to bed. I woke up at six to feed my cat and went back to bed til 9:30.  I woke up (not tired), got ready for work, ate a delicious breakfast with all the food I got yesterday and still had time for a bike ride. I feel like my life is finally getting back to normal.

Blog Moved.

Maybe. I don't know yet. Maybe I'll do two blogs? Who knows? Who cares?!

Wheatgrass

I drank wheatgrass for the first time today. It definetly wasn't that bad.


One of the reasons I love still living at home.

 Mommy and Daddy remember to bring me dessert. I love these guys.

I'm this excited about my bike ride.

I made a wish.


Oh ma gawsh

Albert Nyberg



I love my days off.



Goals for next week

1. Find another skatepark. Vans is awesome. The people that work there and skate there are super cool. But...I don't want to pay seven bucks everytime I go skate. Or wear a helmet.
2. Sleep at least 7 hours a night. I'm sleep deprived. I'm physically and mentally exhausted.
3. Ride my bike everyday for at least an hour. Having a car again is going to make it really hard to want to. Why ride a bike when you can just drive and get to where you want to go ten times faster? Excercise. Duh.
4. Eat heatlhier. More fruits and veggies. Less smoothies and ice cream.
5. Start reading a book.

Denny's after skating

Grandslamwich and hashbrowns.
Pants not rolled up = Weird

My lunch 2 days in a row.

Avocado sammich with tomato, lettuce, cucumbers, sprouts, mayo, mustard on whole grain. So good.
Sometimes there's days were I get home so rediculously exhausted that I just plop myself down on my bed and fall asleep. Sometimes I don't even fall asleep. I just lay there, too lazy to get up, even though I know I should get ready for bed. Even though I'm all sweaty from skating. Even though I need to shut the light off. Even though I need to do a whole bunch of stuff before I can actually go to bed.

Today is one of those days.

I'm in lub

The Thermals - Let Your Earth Quake, Baby

Noah and the Whale - Shape of My Heart



For your heart is like a flower as it grows
and its the rain not just the sun that helps it bloom.
And you don't know how it feels to be alive
until you know how it feels to die.
Sleep more.
Work more.
Talk more.
Bike more.
Skate more.
Read more.
Laugh more.
Smoke less.
Eat less.
Cry less.
Miss less.

I want the fairytale.

I watched Pretty Woman today. I cried and laughed. It was really good. It was good enough to say that it is my new favorite movie.

Congratulations Ema!!

My best friend's sister recently got married. She looked gorgeous!

I woke up super happy this morning. I had super good dreams. Maybe it has something to do with the song I had on repeat all night.

61 Days until Christmas

"But Mom...

Coinage

My savings. There's more.

Busy day ahead

I have so much stuff to do today. I know I'll be exhausted before my day is even half over. I'll be waking up at 8-ish, after most likely not that many hours of sleep becasue I'm a total insomniac. Not really. I just stay up really late...or really early. Whichever.

1. I'm finally getting insurance for my car!! Totally excited for that. Once I have insurance, I can get my car registered.

2. I'm getting my car registered. Long lines at the DMV, here I come. I'll be driving by the weekend. Finally have my own set of 4 wheels again. It's about time! I had two wheels for a while. Two wheels are awesome if you want to do exercise, but arent very functional when your job is about half an hour away.

3. Calling Utah State for my transcripts. I'm not really looking foward to starting school. Kinda dreading it actually. I dread the thought of having to go home after a day of work and school to sit at a desk and do homework. Skating is definetly going to suffer. I skate maybe twice a week (if I'm lucky) and all I do is work. Imagine adding school to that. Yeah...total bummer. Not really my idea of a great spring. It'll pay off someday. Hopefully at least.

4. Then I'm off to work for five hours. Joy. Serving ice cream and making smoothies. Its not a bad job, sometimes it just goes by a little slow.  I get paid tomorrow though. Definetly something to look foward to.

5. I'm getting a haircut. Finally. Just a trim though. My hair's been kinda lame lately. Too many split ends.
Why? Stupid highlights, that's why. Everytime I decide to get highlights, I end up getting split ends. When will I learn?

6. Bank. Need to deposit that first paycheck so I don't spend it, even though technically it's already more than gone. I need to pay my car and get gas. I don't know how much I'll get paid, but I'm hoping it's alot. I need money. I have to pay my car, gas, skate sessions at Vans, cell phone payment, saving for my Arizona trip, saving for school, car insurance. So many responsibilities make me wish I was still a kid.

7. Bike ride. Maybe. Maybe not. I don't think I'll get home in time to go. I hope I do. I haven't been on a bike ride for almost a week. I miss it. I like just putting my headphones in my ears and just going. Wherever. No plans necessary.

8. Cooking dinner. I think I'm making sushi. I don't know yet. I'll figure that out tomorrow.

I have a day off Saturday. Thank goodness.

I love food

Anyone that knows me, knows I love food. I love it. I don't know what else to say. I love it. I love eating it, I love making it, I love watching people make it. I love a nice warm bowl of pasta with delicious, creamy alfredo sauce. I love pizza. I love sushi. I love seafood. I love pastries! I love mangos. I love sweet potatoes. I just love food! Theres not much I don't like. Today I went to Whole Foods and got so much amazing food! If I could eat it all today, I probably would. I won't though. I have control. I can't wait to eat it though.

The best place ever.

The picture kinda sucks..I know.

I was Italian

in another life. If I could get a slice of pizza and a bowl of pasta everyday, I would be the happiest girl alive.
