  • Today was a really good day. My first in a long time. Today Brinton said he liked my hair, I threw up at practice (not a lot) and got a free shirt that's from 1987, and I found out I'm going to the Texas vs. Texas Tech game with my brother! I also found out he's coming down for a visit this weekend!
    This year I'm super organized. This time last year I was already unorganized and forgetting my homework lol. BUT! That has changed. I write down my homework on a sheet of paper and it's been working fabulously for me! School is alright. I had a test in spanish today that i'm pretty sure i passed and tomorrow we're doing the oral part/ paragraph. I'm readyyy! Well I don't have anything else really to say...

  • So I just woke up from a sleepover at Sydney's house. It was super fun! I think it was good for me to go out and about with my girl friends and to just totally let loose. Cassie and I shared a bed and we stayed up until 6:10! Lol I am so tired because the other girls ran into our room at like 9:45 this morning and woke us up. Cassie is so wide awake though. Hahaha! We had these random hyper attacks where we couldn't stop laughing. It was the most fun thing I've done in awhile. Sydney and Cassandra stayed in Cassie and my room until about 4:30 then went to their bed. When they got to our room in the morning they were like, "Oh ya we went to bed at 5:30," and Cassie and I were like, "We beat you. 6:10!" hahhaa! We talked for about 2 hours about like nothing at all. Like we talked about Robbie, Calvin, and one other thing and then laughed for the rest of the time and our conversations were like 10 minutes each. I had so much fun and I love our team. We got matching sports bra's before we came over to Sydney's and they're HOTT! I freaking love my team so much! Lol I really like the sports bras. All About Steve was really good too, I thought. Whoops! I meant the story of my life was a good movie. Lol! "If you love someone you have to be able to let them go, if you  have to stalk them  they were probably never yours." Best line of the movie! Haha well  think that's enough for now because my friends are all upstairs.
    Oh and I can't wait for it to get cold enough so I can wear my grandpa's old Members Only jacket. It's getting a little easier and I know I'll never get over it, but I will try to live with it the best I can.

  • I'm annoyed. I'm jealous. I hate dryland. I hate my life (not really). I hate people. I hate homework. I hate that my grandpa isn't alive right now. I hate not knowing I have the option to call him just to say "Grandpa, I had a bad day." and him say "Tell me about it..." I hate that I can't say I love you to him anymore. I hate that he had that stupid mass in his colon. I hate that both my parents are so busy all the time (my mom's not too busy where i can't talk to her). I hate that I know that I should be doing my English homework. I hate that I can't focus on anything right now. I hate that my shoulders are so sore. I hate that I keep things bottled up so much. I hate the fact that I think I'm fat (don't tell me I'm not. I know I'm not). I hate that my summer was terrible. I hate/love that we have my grandpa's old truck. I hate that it has a sticker that says, "I'm a Longhorn Grandpa" on the back that stares at me as I return home everyday. I hate that all my best friends (err...most) switched teams. I hate that I can't talk to anybody about my feelings because none of my friends have gone through it, they get all freaked out when i try, and they get distracted too easily. Everything is screwed up. I just want to sleep all day in my little bed and never have to see anyone ever again.

    These last few days have been just like a hurricane. I have a bruise on my right hand from shaking so many hands. I'm pretty sure if I shake anyone's hand the words, "Thank you for coming" will just pop out of my mouth. Yesterday at my grandfather's funeral I read the Reponsorial (sp?). Everyone said I did it very nicely and with a lot of poise. I know my grandfather would have been very proud. My dad told me that if I had not told him how much I was shaking before I went up there, he would not have known. He says I should look into becoming a Priest. I think he was kidding. I don't know. During my brother's part of the Eulogy he broke down. He didn't run away or anything. He stayed up there and proved to everyone how much my grandfather meant to him. My brother is a very brave boy. I know I wouldn't have been able to do that. After the Eulogy everyone clapped for him. My grandmother has been to over 50 funerals and she has never heard an applause after a Eulogy. My cousin, Matt, also did a Eulogy. His was a lot shorter, but it started right where my brothers left off and his was beautiful too. He also got an applause. I know my grandfather well and I know that he was looking down on us and he was proud. He was probably bragging to Ted kennedy while they're drinking a scotch and a beer, "Those are my grandchildren. They're doing everything with such class. They love me so much."  I know he doesn't want us crying and mourning. I know he wants us to keep living our lives and to be happy and care-free so that's exactly what I'm going to try to do. He definitely will stay in my heart forever though. There were so many people at the funeral! I always knew that my grandpa was famous in Hondo, but seeing all those people there proved exactly how famous he was and how much he meant to everyone. I'm proud to be his granddaughter and I will wear the title with dignity everyday of my life. The most important lesson he taught me was to always wear my head held high even when I'm at the lowest of my lows and that's exactly what I'll do. I love him so much and he will be missed. It will be hard for a few more weeks, but with time I will be ok. Thanks to everyone who has checked up on me and to everyone who is praying for me and my family. It means the world to us. R.I.P. Grandpa

  • my life is really falling apart. everything is worked out from yesterday. everyone loves each other again. woo.
    my grandfather passed away at 6:45 this morning. we don't know why, but it's over. i didn't go to school today. all i did was take a nap and cry on and off all day. we'll see how i act tomorrow...hopefully i don't fall apart. my grandpa was a great man and he was so strong. why did he have to go? why couldn't someone who was weak and suffering go? why him? a lot of people other than his family loved him. he was a father figure for so many of my dad's friends. i just can't seem to be true. he was supposed to die gracefully in his sleep. not in a hospital being kept alive by machines with people all around him crying. i know he is watching me right now and wanting me not to cry, but i just can't help myself. i will miss him so much. i love him and i know he'll always be with me. i know that he is in a better place and all that jazz, but he wasn't ready to go. he had a lot of work to still do here. he was the best grandpa ever and he spoiled me so much. i'm the only granddaughter and i had him wrapped around my finger. (i never abused my power though.) when i was first born, he was scared of me. he wanted another boy, but he soon loved me as much as my brother and cousin. he will forever be in my heart and i loved him a lot. even though i loved him a lot, i know that he loved me and his family more than anyone could ever love anyone. he was such an honorable man until the second he left Earth and i definitely will never forget him.
    on a different note...3 of my best friends switched teams. i know it was a hard decision, i've been there before, and they will be missed. the team(s) won't be the same without you! i love you guys and i'll see you soon!
