When Gambling...

When gambling be careful not to risk everything. Some things are too precious to be taken lightly. Man...I need to stop this impulsiveness, huh?

Giving up, Giving In

When I started this blog, I promised myself that I wouldn't get too mushy all over the entries, because I have a tendency to do this. But I'm giving in for today.

I miss you goddamnit, and I don't know how to tell you. Why can't you do this for me?

Miss-Will-iam

I Miss...

• summer (camp, no school, pedicures, flip flops, swimming, traveling, camp friends)
• Natsuki (best friend, Japan, long distance)
• myself (irrationally happy, shopaholic, creative, nerdy, irrational, lazy, selfish, fun loving)

I Will...

• get all of the above back very soon.

I Am...

• scared
• excited
• nervous
• anxious
• ready
• happy

Here I am, Miss William. Here I am.

Attack of the Family

There are currently four people in my house that do not live there. They came with swiftness, eating our food and installing a new toilet. Yet, now they remain. They interrogate about college and have strange naked woman bumper stickers on their vans. They abhor church and are too busy paying off their motorcycles anyways. They wear Harley gear from all over the country. They prefer pop and pizza to milk and salad. This is my extended family. Like me they are not. But I tolerate, and sometimes even like them. They keep me from Quiz Bowl, and yet, it is okay.

Alien or not, I can relate to them. Sexist bumper stickers or not. Family is family, and blood is thicker than water. I guess.

Rules are Made to be Broken

I've never given myself a set of rules to live by. Not permanent ones anyway. I suppose there are the basic ones like not killing your neighbor and eating their dog and stuff like that, but I think that's kind of a given. Maybe that's why I have such a problem with the Commandments and religion. To me, if He really is an ever loving God, then why would he care how I live my life as long as I'm happy and not harming other creations? I suppose I get it, but some of the inferences from the Bible are dumb. I'm not going to go to hell if I become a lesbian. And certainly not if I take the Pill instead of having ten kids (no offense to those that want that many).

I don't get along well with rules that affect how I personally live my life. School has rules, society has laws, those I'm okay with. But when someone starts telling me what to do, things get more sticky. I have a mouth, a lot of people say. Some tend to use some more colorful words before mouth. Maybe it's just because what they are suggesting is stupid/nonsensical/racist/sexist.

End of story, I'm not going to listen, at least not without offering my opinion on it. Leave me alone, or put up with my mouth. It's been with me for 16 years, and it's not going away any time soon.

QB Summer Camp

A Quiz Bowl Camp. I had no idea such thing even exists. Well, I guess I did. But it didn't really occur to me. I may go, to the one in June in Missouri so my mom can visit her family I dunno. I already have a lot of things going on. And then Costa Rica. Okay, unless I come up with the money myself, maybe not.

Anyone else thinking about it?

So I Found...

Many eggs at Easter. Because they are awesome, and I love them. And I kicked my cousins' asses! Yay.

I found a website. Kinda like Threadless, but for bags. And it looks pretty cool too. Bagstab!

Other than that, I'm just waiting out this scheduling issues. I don't understand how three elementary schools got millions for additions when the entire district is millions in debt now. Well, actually I do know, it is a special mileage that was passed. But it still seems so stupid. I want to be on the Board of Ed. Or there should at least be a student rep on it. Or a teacher or something. They're all old, I don't think they know what's best anymore.
