Hmm…
Posted by: applebum on: October 6, 2008
So, James started talking to me again over the weekend. Yeah, that was interesting. I hope he knows he’s missed his chance. This ship has sailed!
I texted his mom because I heard his dad was in the hospital and I was worried about him. And then he started texting me (I was okay with this because it was just friendly chat, really). That went on for a while until he decided to call me at about 10:30pm. We ended up talking until 5:15am. It was actually a very nice talk, we chatted about our opinions on lots of important topics such as the upcoming election, abortion, and things like that. We talked like we were best friends who hadn’t seen each other in a while. I was very surprised that we could maintain a conversation without getting mad at each other and hanging up or something like that.
But noe I guess he thinks we are like BFFs because he keeps texting and calling me all the time now. Great.
Song of the day: Litium by Evanescence. My Chemistry teacher was talking about this element today in class so now this song is stuck in my head. It’s a good song, though.
I got my LISCENCE!!

As of August 30th, 2008, I was eligible to take the driving skills road test. This meant that I could go get my liscence! Well, I went yesterday and drove the KY State Police Officer, Mr. Spitzer, through the small town of Greenup, KY. I was sure I had failed when I oversteered my turnabout, but I guess that was alright. We parked and he just sat there for probably 5 minutes straight. I sat in silence and thought, “Well, I can just take it again next week.” But then he pulled out the sheet with all the little orange stickers on it and I knew I had passed! I almost screamed!
The only bad part is that my name isn’t on my insurance card yet, so I can’t drive my car for another week or two. And this isue brings up a conflict between my parents that is not very easy to resolve. The hate each other, so anything that gets between them stays there for a while. Right now they can’t decide who is going to put my name on their insurance cards. Mom said she would do it just because she doesn’t trust Dad to do it. But Dad wants Mom to pay half of the cost of insurance. This would be so much easier if they could agree on something…
Song of the day: Disturbia by Rihanna. I heard this on the radio on the way back to my mom’s house last night. It is an awesome song, and it is super catchy.
Internet Shopping

I just bought 
some new shoes (which I am in desperate need of!) last week off of the Alloy.com catalog. They were on clearance, plus I had a 15% off discount so my Dad let me get them, along with 
a shirt that has a hand on it wearing a sombrero and he says: “Hable a la mano” which means “talk to the hand” in Spanish. I can’t wait for them to come in. I love ordering stuff off of the internet and waiting for it to get to my house. It is so exciting to get it out of the mailbox and rip it open! I’m like a little kid, I love getting mail!
Song of the day: Te Quiero by Flex. This is like a Spanish pop song, sort of. The one I like is the Spanglish version, it makes it easier for me to comprehend since I only have a minimal understanding of the Spanish language.
NASCAR Speed Park
Posted by: applebum on: August 25, 2008
This year my family (ie. Me, Sarah, Dad, Vicki, Courtney, and Chad. Along with Mark, Missy, and Carrie) took a much needed trip to Myrtle Beach, SC. We planned to stay there for 4 nights and then stay 3 nights in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg TN. As of right now, we are spending our second night in Pigeon Forge. The first segment of our trip (the beach segment) was awesome! We spent the days relaxing on the beach, digging holes in the sand, and trying to survive the harsh waves and brutal wind of North Myrtle Beach. One night, we rented scooters and rode down the strip looking for an ice cream parlor. The one we found had frozen bananas and they were awesome!
Pigeon Forge was fun, too. We stayed at the same hotel my Mamaw and Papaw always stay in when they go down. It kind of smelled like mildew, but we weren’t ever there except for at night, and then we just went right to sleep. The best part of the trip was when we went to the NASCAR Speed Park! Our goal for the day was to get kicked out of as many rides as we could. I was the only one to accomplish that goal. One of the tracks is just a circle, much like the real racing tracks and stadiums. Before we had even made one lap, I had already spun Chad and another lady who I didn’t know. Almost as soon as we pulled out of the station Chad was spinning and flipping around in circles. I didn’t even get to make a full circle because the attendants were pulling me over and making me get off the ride. Right as I was turnign into the pull-off lane to dismount my car, some old lady slammed into the side of my vehicle and whip-lashed me! I pulled into the pit and everybody waiting in line was laughing an cheering that I got kicked off so fast. Even the pit crew guys were congratulating me!
In total that day I spun out 2 people, was spun by 2 people, and hit by 1 person.
Song of the day: If I Never See Your Face Again by Rihanna and Maroon 5. I have been singing this song all day. It is great! And it has made for A LOT of dumb things to do in the car. Chad was helping me and Sarah harmonize earlier today, but he just can’t hit the high notes.
It’s that time again!

I cannot believe Camp Tarhe is tomorrow! It seams like I just got out of school last week! It’s also kind of sad because Tarhe always signals that the end of summer is coming. This year summer needs to last a little longer because I have a reading assignment for AP English Language that I haven’t even started on yet. I have to read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Harriet Beecher Stowe. So far I’ve got 4 pages. It’s not the book that is killing me, it’s what we have to do to it. I hate to ruin a great peice of literature with writing or markings of any kind, so it is extremely hard for me to follow my teacher’s rules and “mark up” the book. Maybe if it were just here an there it would be a little easier, but I have to write a little something on every page! And to top it off, I have to write a 5-page dialectical [yes, that is the word she used. Is it even a real word?] journal about it.
Song of the day: Shake It by Metro Station. As I told my mother and sister earlier this morning, I hate this song because every time I hear it, even if it’s just a tiny peice as I am flipping through the radio stations, it gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Happy Birthday Dad! Geez, he’s old…
Posted by: applebum on: June 21, 2008
Yesterday was my Dad’s birthday. He is now 48 years old. His oldest daughter (me) is only 16. My parents obviously waited a little while before deciding to have children. My only sister Sarah is 14. When I graduate high school, my parents while be turning 50. The average age of parents with 16-year-old daughters in my area is between 36 and 42 years. But my parents were smarter than that, and I applaud them for their decision. They were able to enjoy life without the restrictions of children. They got their traveling and partying done long before thinking of ruining their lives and their figures with the prescence of children. Even though they will be elderly when I finish college, start my career, get married, and have children, they will have lived a good life.
As for me, I think I will either have kids late (just as they did before me) or not have any kids at all. This way I will not have to worry about anyone but myself and my partner (if I ever find one). Who knows? Maybe I’ll change my mind. I may decide to have 12 kids later in life. But for right now, I am sticking to the plan: NEVER have children. They are life ruiners and nothing good will ever come of them. It’s not like my kid would be the next Einstein or Bill Gates, Ronald Reagan or Martin Luther King. (Inspiration for this post came from: http://www.snopes.com/humor/nonsense/childless.asp)
Song of the day: Take A Bow by Rihanna. This song has been stuck in my head since I heard it a few weeks ago. It is a fairly decent song, definately one of Rihanna’s best in my opinion.
We’re done.

Me and James have finally ended our long, painful relationship. It might even be over for good, I’m not really sure. I haven’t talked to him since last Friday. I am not as sad as I thought I would be, suprisingly. I figured I would go into a long, deep depression and not be able to function without him. But it’s not so bad so far. I only get sad every now and then when I think of a memory or something like that.
Actually, being single is kind of fun. I get to flirt with anyone I want (like I didn’t do it before!) and hang out with my guy friends without raising suspicion. I know James is loving it (but I hope not, lol)! It is sort of nice not having to worry about him and not having to check in every time I want to go somewhere. The only bad thing is that I have lost my best friend. I don’t have anyone to talk to or hang out with on the weekends now. It really makes me realize how much time I spent with him for the last year and a half.
Song of the day: Welcome to the Jungle, by Guns N’ Roses. I am staying the week at my friend’s house and we just finished this song on Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock.
Love sucks
Posted by: applebum on: May 14, 2008
I’ve been a little depressed lately because me and James haven’t exactly been on the best of terms. And now I think everything is finally coming to an end. We are breaking up. I don’t want it to happen, but I think it must. I know no other way to solve this dilemna. Who knows? Maybe everything will work itself out after a while and we’ll still be able to be together. But for right now I don’t want to think about it. I just want to go on with my life like everything is normal. But I don’t know if I ever can.
Song of the day: Creep, by Radiohead. It has been stuck in my head for like a week. I played it on Rock Band a few days ago and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Song of the Day: Thank U, by Alanis Morissette. This song has been stuck in my head for weeks now! I listen to it every time I get on the computer.
Foreign Language Festival
Posted by: applebum on: April 16, 2008
Last Friday, April 11, 2008, I went with my Spanish class to Morehead State University to compete in the regional [I guess..] Foreign Language Festival. My Spanish teacher asked to take a test and gave me some vocabulary to study before the trip. She gave me a 12 page packet expecting the test to be about 100 questions including words that I had never studied. When we got there, I was happy to discover that the test was only 15 questions long, and that it was all stuff that I already knew. It only took about 10 minutes for me to complete the test.
This morning, about 15 minutes ago, my Spanish teacher Señora Steiner, sent me a message that went something like this: “You received second place and get to go to state. Congratulations!!!!!” Woo! I am so excited I can’t even think. I knew I did well, but I didn’t know I’d get to go to state competition! I have told everyone I have seen this morning and I even tried to call my Mom from school to tell her. My Dad will find out after that, and I am hoping I can get a little bit of enthusiasum out of James when I tell him tonight.
Last night was supposed to be my second tennis match. It was to be the first home match I played. However, my coach scheduled my match [I was supposed to play doubles with Kaylee, who hates me, and who also sucks at tennis] half way through the doubles matches that ended up lasting way past 6pm. By then it had begun to get dark and, since we don’t have lights for the tennis courts at my school, we can’t play after sunset because we wouldn’t be able to see anything. I waited, and waited, and waited for my name to be called, but it never was. By about 7:30pm, it was getting dark and cold. I finally just waked up to the coach, told her that this was rediculous, and left. Me and Mom went to Jessie’s pizza and then went home.
I have been really sad a lot lately and I am not sure if it’s just a regular kind of sad. It seems like I started to get like this around the same time last year and the year before that, too. I looked up my symptoms on the Internet and came up with something called Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder. RSAD is when you get really depressed every time summer rolls around. It is starting to happen to me again, and if the same things that happened last year start to happen again this summer I am going to go to a doctor and find out if there is something they can do to help me.
Song of the day: Cancer, by My Chemical Romance. I was listening to this song while I waited for my match to start last night. It is a really sad song, but it is also really pretty.
