Clean Slate Seems Great Right Now

Happy 2010 everyone! Isn't it weird how its a new decade. This decade is going to be a big one with changes. Starting off this year: Rob comes back from Iraq(Finally), I'm seeing Bon Jovi again, and I turn 18. I do have new years resolutions that I want to get through. Heres some:
1. Finally see Wicked/Next to Normal
2. Get a dress for Prom
3. Pass Junior Year
4. Just pass math in general
5. Take the SATs
6. Do NOT fall so quickly for guys
7. Finally admit that you're over them

I'm saying number 7 right now. I got over Noah. Yes I know shocking but its true. I kind of knew that I was getting over him in November. See I got my junior ring and Noah was one of the first guys that turned it. Although I was both nervous and excited, when I asked him and he turned it I thought Ok this is cool and I wasn't shaking or stuttering. And then later on I realized maybe he and I aren't meant to be. Liking someone for a year and never got to be anything more was a bit of a waste of time. Plus, he's talking to someone and you know if bygones be bygones and he and that girl start dating then I'll be happy for him. I'm going to sound like the biggest hypocrite right now but I still think Noah is a great guy and I MAY still like him a little. But I'm not going to be obsessed with him anymore. We're just going to be friends and that's fine with me.

This decade is going to be big for me as well. I'm graduating High School in 2011, I'll be entering college, I'm going to be 20 :-O, I may find love, I may get heart broken, I may audition for American Idol, I may graduate college. Life is turning fast. I don't want to be a grown up yet and have responsibilities. Granted that I should be excited and I am but its scary and its sad that I can't turn back time and re live the good days when I was 8 and have not a care in the world.

I just want this year to be a great one. 2009 was good but it had downs as well as ups. I just hope this will be a good year for me. Who knows what the future will hold for us?

You Showed Up: Venus in Overdrive

So it's Saturday. I had a week off from school and it's near the end of it=[ It went by fast and I didn't do anything that big. Well except for the Rick Springfield concert(Title of one of his songs is the title of this post) but more on that later.

Saturday was Halloween. It was good I guess. I was a Vampire(Not a Cullen vampire but an evil/Volturi style Vampire). We didn't get much trick-or-treaters because it wasn't that great outside. However, I did went trick-or-treating with Kim, Michelle, Kim's siblings, Manny and Kirsten. It was fun but we didn't get much candy but it was great seeing my friends outside of school.

Not much has happened from Sunday through Wednesday. Wednesday I went Bowling(I'm on a league in Union City). I saw Noah and Dillon Wednesday as well(Well Dillon didn't see me but I saw him driving). Noah was at the Library and he waved at me but he had to go back to doing school work. Wednesday was also victory day. The New York Yankees won their 27th World Series. What. A. Game. It was amazing. I was screaming when they won and my facebook and twitter were flooded with Yankee posts about their victory. It was pretty awesome.

Thursday not much happened. Yesterday was a great day. It was the Yankee parade in NY(I didn't go but it looked like New Years Eve and there was so much people there). Friday Noah was pulled over and he rolled down his window and he waved. I waved back briefly but I had pizza so it was a short wave. I also got my eyebrows done and then that night, I went to a Rick Springfield concert in Englewood. I got the tickets for my birthday and oh my god what a show. It was amazing and it was my first show of his. We had great seats but I snuck away and went up to the small barrier before the stage. I was dancing, singing and screaming. It was so much fun. He smashed roses on his guitar and I got a few petals. I went to reach for them and I see him right there and he looked at me=] I was like Oh My God! and he went back to the microphone and he smiled back at me. He also went into the audience and I touched him briefly before he rushed on stage. At the end of it, I reached my hand and he grabbed it briefly. The girl next to me was jealous but I didn't care. I had a great time and I hope he comes near NJ again. I would see him again in a heartbeat.

But anyways my week was great but it was short. Oh I also got Bon Jovi tickets!!!! I'm seeing him May 27th, Section 113 right off the stage seats 15-18. Bon Jovi is one of my favorite bands. I saw him once in Giant Stadium and I'm seeing him again in the new stadium(coincidence?).

So my countdowns so far:

48 Days till Christmas
67 till Rob comes home
202 till Bon Jovi

Catch Me, I'm Falling...

Did ya miss me bloggers? Well it's been a few weeks since I've blogged. I started my Junior year in September. So far so good. Next semester maybe tough. I have chemistry=O and US History 2 next semester. I'm hoping I'll pass. I set a few goals this year:

1. Pass my SATs/HSPAs
2. Just pass Jr. Year
3. Find a Jr. Prom Date/Dress
4. Tell Noah how I feel and give him the poem
5. See Next to Normal/Wicked

Ok so mainly the last 2-3 aren't school related but I want to try to do any/all of these goals. I think Noah is going to join swim team again so maybe I can tell him then or whenever I see him. In case Noah says no to go to prom with me, I do have 2-3 other guys to ask(no Dillon isn't one of them)

So, anyways Next to Normal is one of my favorite musicals. It has an amazing soundtrack and I really want to see it soon. I love it and the guy who plays Gabe, Aaron Tveit, is a great singer and he's very cute=]. The musical is moving and the director created RENT(which is why I guess it's one of my favorites). It's about this family everyone think its "perfect" but in reality, they're not. I'm not spoiling it but if you want to find out, just search for the plot.

Anyways I'm ending this blog. I'll probably blog tomorrow or whenever.

PS: got my awesome halloween costume=D I'm going to be a vampire hell yeah!!:)

If I Go Crazy, Will You Still Call Me Superman?

So my birthday was great. Started off with a phone call from this girl I worked with Steph saying theres a meeting at 12:30. I was like sure I'll go. So I had breakfast and I went to the pool and everyone at the front gate yelled Happy Birthday. I smiled and thanked them all and went to the shed. Matt, Shauna and Emily(Lifeguards)wished me a Happy Birthday and good luck on my driving test. So I'm talking to Em in the shed and Matt comes in to say that the meeting is starting. Me and Em go into the main office and I see Steph, Shauna and most of the people I work with crowded in the office with a cake with a 17 candle on it. My jaw dropped to the floor and they all sang Happy Birthday. I felt like crying(good way). No one has ever done that for me and I couldn't thank them enough. The cake was amazing and they had cookies as well. I go out the door to see Dillon on training. I get a few cookies and walk over. He wished me a Happy Birthday(Highlight of the day) and we talked for a bit on how my day's going to be. I offer him a cookie but he said that he just had lunch before but he took it and saved it for later=] I told him that they had a party in the office and that if he wanted to he can go get cake and whatever. He said cool and then he had to watch the pool.

Anyways I stayed at work util 3 and then I went home and I helped my mom to make Chicken Parm and it was delicious. We had that with ziti. Afterwords We had ice cream cake and I opened presents. I got a Green Day Tee, A Harry Potter tee, Some shirts from Victoria Secret, A Johnny Depp bag, iPod cases and money. All in all it was a great day.

The day after I went for my driving test. It was a fail. Major fail. I didn't get my license. The instructor or whoever they called was a prick and he wouldn't let me finish the course. I bumped the barrier for parallel parking an inch, not even, and he failed me on the spot. I started to cry because he was harsh and didn't even say anything. My mom's gonna make me wait a while and then I'll re take the test. I'll hopefully pass this time. Cross your fingers.

But anyways my birthday was great. I couldn't thank anyone enough. Well its early but I'm ending my blog. I'll probably blog tomorrow or later in the week.

I have a Ph.D In Horribleness

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head. Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh you make me smile=]


I love Smile by Uncle Cracker. It reminds me of Dillon and Noah. Wait have I mentioned Dillon before? I guess not, well I can start now. Dillon is a lifeguard I work with. He just graduated and he's a flirt(yes I know not to fall for them but I can't help it). He's very cute, funny and drives me to the brink on insanity. He has a hot body and we talk a bit mainly the hi, what's up convos. He drove me home twice but he drives like a maniac and listens to very loud rap music.

So last Wednesday I worked for Martin and Dillon and Noah were both working(My heart never slowed down and I couldn't concentrate). So this girl Emily is like Noah's BFF and was like attatched herself to him so I couldn't give him my poem that I wrote for him. I wrote one for Dillon and decided to give it to him that day. Before that happened, Me, Dillon, Noah, Emily and a few other guys went swimming. I thought it was funny to splash Dillon when he wasn't looking. We had a 5 minute splashing fight. I seriously thought I was dreaming for a while but I wasn't. After that I pulled him aside and told him that I liked him and gave him the poem. He...um rejected me. He wasn't mean about it or rude. He thought it was sweet but he said that he was talking to someone(but wasn't seeing anyone) and he wanted to remain "faithful". I was in shock for a bit and started to cry(not in front of him but in the bathroom). The girls that I work with felt so sorry for me cause they knew I liked him and all of that so they said that there are other guys out there and I felt better.

So Yesterday I worked and Dillon was there(well he works on the Sunday-Tues Shift and I work the Thurs-Sat shift and we switch every other Wednesday). We had our brief convos and everything like that. We were on break and Martin comes over and thought it would be funny to push me into diving. I land on Matt by accident and I got out and pushed Martin into the main pool. Dillon grabs my arm and throws me into diving twice. I didn't mind that because it felt amazing(well him touching my arm and the water was so nice). After that we looked at each other for a few minutes(eye to eye contact) and he had a serious look on his face and I was trying to but I couldn't. It was great. I still think theres a chance with us but you know we're getting there.

And yes I still like Noah. I've liked him since December but I think he's dating Emily or someone. I really don't know. But I will tell Noah how I feel and give him the poem. Hopefully before summer ends *fingers cross*

I watched Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog(Title of blog is a quote from there) for the 8th time. It's pretty awesome but its sad. Neil Patrick Harris is an amazing singer and actor. He performed in a Sweeney Todd Concert as Toby and he's on How I Met Your Mother and Dougie Houser(when he was a kid that is).

Oh and I have sort of good news about my brother. He may not go to Iraq but to Puerto Rico for those 4 months. I really hope he goes there. At least he's in the US area and not half way across the world.

5 Days!!!!

It's Gonna be TOTALLY AWESOME!

August already? Damn this summer is going so fast. I haven't blogged in a while so I have to update this more frequently. I've been too busy with work. I had my first save Saturday!!! It was a little scary but that whole Adrenaline rush kicked in and I dove in and saved this little girl from diving. That's the best thing about being a lifeguard. Knowing that one day you'll be the one saving someone. Everyone clapped after I rescued her and it made me feel a little good(I had to go back in the water though because my glasses were at the bottom).

Saturday was also Kimberly's birthday. I have her present and when she gets back to NJ, I need to give it to her. I know she'll love it. We haven't been hanging out lately consisting she and Michelle are on vacation together and I'm stuck here in our hell-hole of a town working. We need to hang out soon before school starts(Which is in about a month=O)

So it's true. My brother is going to Iraq in September. What the fuck?! Seriously, I thought Obama was taking troops OUT of there. Why must my brother go? I know he signed up for this and I can't do anything about it(If I could I would lock him in his room forever). He's going down the base Aug 15th and then we'll know when he's going and hopefully when he's coming back. He told us he may leave the 4th of Sept. and come back in January. Shit those 4 months will feel like when he was stuck in Texas(only worse and I'll be watching the news 24/7). I guess all we have to do is hope and pray he'll be ok. I'm planning on buying yellow ribbon from AC&Mores and making those little support our troops ribbons and hand them out with Robs name on it. I'm thinking about that but I'm not quite sure if I will or not.

So anyways there's this musical on Youtube called "A Very Potter Musical"(Formally Harry Potter the Musical. Changed the name because of copyrights.) It's on StarKidPotter's Channel and it's probably one of the best things on Youtube right now. It explains HP in 2 hours or so and it's easy to understand. I love it. My favorite characters are Voldemort, Quirrel, Malfoy and Ron. They are just totally awesome(That's where the phrase in my title came from).

So it's 20 days until my 17th birthday!!!(And 21 till I hopefully get my license). I'm hoping my bro will leave his car down here when he's away so I can take it to school/swim team practice. I do need to go driving again. I have to make sure I can park and everything like that.

Anyways I'm gonna end this blog and listen to my music(I FINALLY got a new iPod=]). I have 409 songs on it.

One Day More!

So tomorrow is the last day of school!!!=] It's mainly the last day I'll be a Sophomore and in September I'll become a Junior. I can't wait for Junior year. This is one of the biggest years of high school(next biggest year is Senior). Although we have the SATs, We get to plan the Haunted High School and we have our Junior Ring ceremony(Which I am hoping my brother will be here and he'll present my ring to me) and Junior prom. Wow so it's a matter of time till we see all of this. It's exciting yet scary at the same time.

Anyways this weekend I finally watched all of the Les Miserables 10th anniversary concert. I loved it. It was honestly the best thing I watched in a long time. In the end of it they brought out 17 international Jean ValJeans and they sang "Do You Hear the People Sing?/One Day More" in their own languages. My jaw dropped because it was so awesome. However, I heard the Australian Jean who was there died in October from a stroke so it was a little upsetting=[ I really wished I saw this live. Its still playing in London and I believe theres a tour(but I could be wrong on that) so maybe I will see it.

Noah said hi to me today=] and he came into my history class and sat 4 tiles across from me. I kept looking at him every 5 minutes. Thankfully he didn't noticed that I was so I guess that was good. Tomorrow is the last day of school and I still haven't told him how I felt. What if he's not coming in tomorrow? What if he gets a girlfriend over the summer? Why am I such a chicken? I never acted this way for a guy before. It feels off and weird. Whenever I see those beautiful brown eyes of his my heart just thumps out of my chest and I can't breathe. I've liked him for 7 months now. I'm just afraid of getting rejected by him or having his friends to laugh at me if they hear about this.

Well I'm going to end this blog. I'm getting ready for Swim Team=D I just hope he comes to school tomorrow. I just need to tell him how I feel and show him this poem I wrote for him.
