Not yet

Yep, no matter how much I hate it... I'm not an adult.

I hate being the youngest ._. It is what it is.

Wow...

I need to calm down, I'm extremely hyper for no apparent reason. Just randomly running about doing absolutely nothing. The sad thing is I haven't touched sugar or caffeine today ( Not that it really affects me) which surprises me. Maybe I can go outside while it's still light and hack away at weeds with my machete... Blarg ._.

From reviewing my old/fairly new posts, I've noticed two things... My writing has dramatically improved and all my posts are way to hyper. I assure I'm much calmer off the computer.

Yes Yes yes!!

I'm not usually this happy about physical appearance, but!! Drum roll please... I was 146 lbs, now I'm 138 lbs, I built muscle AND got Taller! because muscle is heavier then fat... bwahaha. Der... sorry for that little bit of useless info. I shouldn't get so personal eh? lol I don't care if people know how I much I weigh. Well, maybe there is one person I do care thinks of my appearance inward and outward... but guess what! I aint tellin who NAH NAH.

*Clears throat* Sorry for my lack of good writing up there. :)

I went for a swim by myself today, belly flops don't hurt as much as they used to. Don't worry I did it on purpose, I do in fact know how to dive.

People of the HSG: if I seem upset during a kickball game, I'm merely excited not angry. I might make snappy comments that I don't mean because of it, so please don't take offense I truly don't mean it.

Just a thought

I might not be good at sports mainly because I have totally the wrong build for it, I know I'm more of a physical labor person.

Maybe I'm not supposed to be good at sports? Is that how God made me?

I'll still do my best. I assure everybody I'll be at my best friday. I don't care what anybody thinks of how good I play :) Anybody can do anything if they put their all into it.


Who is for making this last game of kickball a bang? say Aye and or Wootzorz. ;)

Kickball today

Kickball today was intense, my team at the beggininng was getting slaughtered. about half way through we stepped it up. I don't know about any of you, but my kicks were Junk. COMPLETE AND UTTER JUNK, I don't beleive it. My defense was pretty good though, although I will say... being sucluded in a little corner without being able to run to the side was very frustrating, I'm not tryi ng to put the whole game on my shoulders, but I feel that some runs of the other team would not of happened if I had the opportunity to catch them.

I acually need to get new shoes too, mine lost their point and were flat. I'm not making excuses though, my kicking was misrible. My defense was improved.

I totally didn't see Sophie on second base that play, I don't know what I was thinking but I decided to run. I'm totally sorry Sophie.

I wouldn't of jumped the fence if I didn't think I saw a car coming, it turns out when I got out there it was a parked car.

I had a really good time though, I need to work on my kicks. Give me the oportunity to play next week and I promise I'll do better. Thank you.

Catching up on life.

Back home from the Coopers, see Eric's blog for some interesting things that we did (I'm too lazy to hyper link, Link is on the right side). Before we left, Mr Coop had us do some exercises some strange exercises I've never done before I will say they were very effective though. Working on my handsprings almost got it, need to keep working at it. I know that many people think that me and Eric trying to see who is the strongest is probably Immature, I hope this isn't considered too competitive and frankly I don't care, but I will say that I strive to be the best if somebody shows me something they can do, I try to do better not for personal glory but for my own self. Immature it might be, but seeing what peoples strength is and striving to be better is acually a good thing. I fully understand that I can't do everything and it's been proven to me time and time again, and I need to accept it. But I feel unless I've given something my all I can't admit that I can't be better. I have an interest in technology, it started when I was 4. Christine was playing a game called "Chex Quest" on MS Dos/Windows 3.1, Christine would not tell me how to open the game which bugged the daylight out of me. Nobody in my family knows that, but I read the whole windows instruction manual and learned about the windows operating system. This completely opened doors in the technology world for me. Thank you Christine.


I doubt anybody gave anything about me much thought, I feel I've done a pretty good job at hiding it. Not many people know '
Me' too well. Enough about me. Don't be shy to talk to me, maybe you'd be fascinated, maybe not, Time will tell.

Slightly strange post

Yesterday my cousin Andrew and I went to the grocery store both moms told us to go with our grandfather to grab stuff. After we were done and in the checkout, the cashier ( A girl like 17-18) was staring at me I didn't really think much of it. When it was my turn to pay she was still staring at me, then asked "How are you today" with a different voice then the other customers, I said "I'm doing well thank you, and yourself?" she said "Wonderful!" then she said "I love your hat" (MY hat was just a green cap! solid green!) and she started blushing. My cousin Andrew was behind me the whole time. I don't know what happened there, and didn't think too much of it. Andrew thought it was the funniest thing though and started poking at me.


WoOoOtZoRZzz.

Funny stuff

Today I was talking to my sister Sarah, when she randomly said "I need to go soon, do you have a scrunchie I could borrow? I'll give it back when I come home." (she was dead serious might I add) I looked at her and practically couldn't speak laughing. I know she has 3 other sisters, but I'm not one of them! I decree!

Todays Message.

I very much enjoyed the sermon that our pastor gave today, it was about having things to look forward to in the future. The most important thing to look forward to is the day that we see our Lord God in heaven, just the idea is wonderful I doubt I could ever realize the magnificences of it.

I'm planning every Sunday to put a brief summery of the message I heard and put my thoughts about it. This is shorter then the ones I'm planning, but please stay tuned. :)

Kickball

Todays kickball was excellent, everybody was playing at their best. Probably because the first game was warm up, second game was learning how to play better and todays 3'rd game was us once we've mastered it. I know that the first game I played I could easily tell what I was doing wrong, as I stated before... My kicks were always to long and didn't really hit the ball with a burst of power, today I noticed that I did much better then any previous week.

Eric kicked the ball way into outfield, Johnathan got under the ball and caught it. (The balls that Eric kicks are pretty hard to catch)

Andrew L was on first and the ball was kicked in the middle of the field, he was able to run all the way home with everybody scrambling to hit him. (There were some technical issues, but in the end he made it home.)

Sophie was on first base and I was up to kick, I was able to kick the ball way on the far edge of the field and get Sophie and myself home. ( home run) Where there any other home runs this game?

Concert

My family today convinced me to go to a classical concert, the pieces that were played today were Schubert's. I forget the names, but I found many of them to be all over the place I wasn't able to tell what was going to be played next. Oh well Twas cool though. ^-^

Culture culture culture.

My Father is Lebanese And my Mother is American, changing cultures between grandparents and relatives from each side is slightly difficult. I just got over a weekend from having my fathers relatives from Germany and then some from southern USA, the greeting and goodbye isn't shaking hands... it's hugging and giving a kiss (on the cheek, although I rarely do this.) I did that so much last weekend and as a result I gave my friends at church a hug without even thinking about it >.< all week the middle eastern part of me has been here. Today after kickball I randomly gave a couple people hugs without even thinking about it (no kisses don't worry lol)

Me? Shy?

It's so easy to talk to somebody by commenting on their blog, but it isn't so easy for me in real life... am I too shy? Usually the person that starts a conversation is the shy one, while the other enjoys that somebody talked to them. I know personally, that if somebody starts talking to me I'm not shy at all. Is the Shyness one sided? would it be possible to push it aside and 'Really' talk to somebody? assuming that they don't mind being talked to?

Oh well.

Peaceful Music person.

Thats me, might I add non-biased of parental preference. AKA because they like it isn't the reason I do.

I don't have a problem with some sorts of music, I just think it fits my personality.

My new mouse. "Razors" Products are unbeaten. Well done guys.

Sisters graduation/Obervations

Yes! my sister Christine and brother in law Nick finally had their graduation ceremony yesterday, It was a good time!
I was looking at the wrong camera in that pic, but I chose it because it was the only pic with Nick and our family.

I was surprised how many foreigners where graduating, it disappointed me to see how true the "American Way" is in todays society. How people never go to college and hope to work at Mcdonalds (I'm exaggerating but it's sometimes true) and support a family while under the stress home mortgages and car loans. Maybe 20...30...40 years ago only the people who wanted to be rich got college educations, but I'm learning more and more that in todays society it's more stressful then it needs to be. I truly don't mean to sound obnoxious, but I think the main problem is people get selfish and decide to get married right away, putting off going to college (and or some form of higher education) with the thought of continuing it afterwards. Which wouldn't happen because now they're trying to support a wife, don't have the founds to pay for college and find themselves with a child on the way. I'm sure my opinion is slightly ignorant.

Let me make this clear that I'm not talking about anybody specifically, I'm only talking about the "American Way" I am American which gives me the right to talk about it. :)

kickball examination

From looking at the pictures and video's my sister took, I know what I'm doing wrong >.< when I kick I get my foot up to my head, which isn't really necessary... I probably should keep it low and focus it into a short burst of power.
