Yay, Mike, you win the award for actually writing in your blogger! *hands Mike the award* Enjoy. I tried downloading some Mr. Bungle songs but my server could only find a couple and they won't dl. Found it funny how you said a lot has happened and it takes the cake but then you go on to say you have nothing to write.
I really want to go alpine skiing. I even wrote a weird poem on my desire and how it's 'my escape from the confines of school'. *sigh* Damn summer. Never thought I'd say that... Later.

Hehe, I'm So Catty
Ok, well not without reason. Since I last wrote I've joined track and it's going ok but not without it's struggles. The shin splints I've acquired from years ago that were worsened by ski team have now reached a peak from constant running in track. They have kept me from doing my best but I'm still very happy to be part of such a wonderful team of very friendly girlies. They're all so nice to me... even the girls who join as cross-trainers like dance team and gymnastics- Kim Mehring and Robin Knauf are both major sweeties and have only been wonderful to me.
On the other hand... girls well just one girl whom I was getting closer to in a friendship has gone the other way. Job warned me too... his sister. He told me that she was a lying brat (well his choice word is wench) and I guess he wasn't far off. Ever since I joined track Beka's gotten more bratty towards me and now I'm glad she quit. Not only can I enjoy Beka-free track but I can potentionally do an event she left open like high jump.
I also have to laugh since last I visited the Moving Side Walks' website was more than a few months ago... Beka and Sadie quit the band because I guess it no longer interests them, that 'it isn't fun anymore' even though Beka said she'd 'Come back and sing with them from time to time'. Now this comment made me giggle more than ever... being part of a band (doesn't matter that it's school band, in theory they're close to the same thing with practicing and gigs) you can't just quit and decide to come back when you please... You'll never be at the same spot and emotionally you'd never fit into that bond you had before. Now what about this doesn't she understand?
Probably the emotional part because she's bashed friends uncaringly and actually convinced me to back her when I later found she was lying. Being the person I am I'm one to give friends or acquaintances multiple chances because we're only human and to be human is to error. After that little lying stunt which left a rather sour taste to back her and find out it was a lie (especially when she was adamant that she was right and truthful) I found her tendancy to "show off" and try to impress people or act stupid and unknowing for attention like after my event when my leg went numb from the splints' pain she decided that while I was looking the other way (watching events) to kick me, repeatedly. I only found this out after I realized my body was moving when no one was touching me until I turned and caught her kicking my leg from behind me. I pretended not to care and it didn't hurt (at the time) because my leg was numb but it was disrespectful to take advantage of my... "handicap"? if that's even the word for excessive numbness.
Now, even after this I continued to hold a neutral even more of favorable approach towards her but her last exploitation was just recently when I approached her after school about a rumor I had heard from a reliable source.
Me-"Hey, Beka, I heard you quit track" B- *rolling eyes* "Yea, why?" Me-"I was just wondering why" B-"It wasn't fun anymore. Marissa quit too!" Beka went on to talking to Sadie, trying to ignore me. Me- *contemplating* "Well, ok, I guess I'll miss ya then"
Later I received a call from Job and his first words were "You shouldn't talk to Beka anymore" and through my curiousity he later went on to explain that Beka had come home and complained to her parents that I bitched her out for quitting track. After this I was pissed off. First she convinced me to believe a lie and back her up to a friend only to find out later she admitted to it, in front of me to the friend! Then she uses me to "show off" and completely disrespects and undermines me. Lastly she miscontrues (contorts/falsifies) what I said to her parents furthering their conception of me as a person. I hope they realize I would never antagonize Beka, even if I didn't like her. If anything I'd stop talking to her (executing), ignore her (executing), and write nasty-venting blogs (executing).
One last note, hehe, nice pun considering what I'm about to write... I checked out the Moving Side Walks site and there's only like six pics or so left of Beka, they're being replaced with the new ones of Kaitlyn... their new lead singer who's tons better than Beka. Well now I'm off... http://www.themovingsidewalks.com/news.html ...
