Bandaids have the best slogan ever.

Do you even know what it is? They don't use it often and I don't know why. But on the box of Band-Aid brand Bandaid there is a wonderful slogan. Go and google it. Actually I don't know if it will come up. Let me check. OHH if you just googled that you would have gotten the wrong answer. You would have gotten "I'm stuck on Band-Aid and Band-Aid's stuck on me" which is cute when if a two year old says it while swinging on a swing. goodness. i like the one on the box i have.

after i went to the barn i was ready to break down. but what did i do? i endured. and i think i will be just fine. maybe a bit tired tomorrow but i'll make it. i'll make it just fine.

and this time tomorrow i'll be in Virginia. how cool?

and yes i didn't tell you the slogan of the Band-Aids on purpose. just to put you in suspense. maybe you didn't even notice because you don't really pay attention to what i'm saying, you just read it. poo on you. i just showed you up. ooooh. maybe i won't tell you the slogan now because you didn't even notice that i didn't tell you. cause you don't care! nope i'll tell you anyways.

You're going to be just fine.™

the only exception.

listening to Rachel from Glee, or Lea, sing that to Finn, or Cory, made me want to cry. but not sadnesses or happiness, with emotion. do you know what i'm saying? i wish i had a Finn to sing a song like that to. you know if i was an amazing singer like Lea.

death bed test.

ask yourself "how will i be remembered?" if you only had one day left to live and are you happy with that answers or do you need to make a change?

today was the first day that i ate dinner while doing history homework.

i'm sure i'll do that again. but today it was because i went to the Big E.

Abby and I are going to have a fall/winter/whenever-we-get-around-to-it party. and it is exactly what it sounds like. we have no idea what it is going to be like other than it's going to be a party and we are going to host it and invite whoever we want. so if you want to come to this party you better be nice to us. because this party is going to be awesome once we figure out what this party is going to be. other than awesome because that's obvious.

today when we were driving home there was one patch of sky that was all lit up from the stadium lights from the soccer game. it was the coolest thing ever. i wish i was there watching it, even though it was raining. maybe Abby and I can go sometime, or Dana and I. Dana can drive people in less than three weeks! wooohooo! and then at one point when we were driving back we could see the tops of the lights over the tree line and that was so awesome. if i was thinking i would have taken a picture of it but i wasn't thinking. now i'm going to go look up when the next home game is. yeah i'm like that. okay they have home games Friday October 8th vs. Monson High School and Friday October 15th vs. Holyoke High School and Monday October 18th vs. Hopkins Academy and Thursday October 21st vs. Belchertown High School and Tuesday October 26th vs. South Hadley High School. that's the boys. i am liking the two Friday games but I would like to go to the Monday one verses Hopkins because I believe my old babygroup buddy is from Hopkins and he plays soccer so he may be there. anyways, Abby free any of those days? I know you work a lot of Fridays. anyways let's move on to the next subject.

the Big E. the best parts: quick change! the group Quick Change from America's Got Talent was at the Big E! They were in the circus! we didn't know that when we went and it was soooo awesome! I was so shocked they were there. the guy was the ring master for the day but i didn't recognize him until i saw him next to his wife. they were the same outfits they used on the show but it still so cool. and seeing them there as a surprise i mean so awesome! and another wonderful part was the 10 day old baby Alpaca. oh my goodness. he would go over and loving to his mother then run around his little pen. he was so adorable. i want one. and that's all that sticks on in my mind right now. so there you go.

OUR DEBATE TEAM WON! i'm very happy. it's not like i would have been devastated if we lost because i didn't really care but it feels good to say that we won. and we were down a member. but still that was awesome. and my opening went so well and Mr. Dewitt even called me out on how good it was. ahh. it was wonderful. i even took up a rebuttle which wasn't the greatest but it went fine. and that was fabulous. but i'm glad we won or else i would have felt bad that i didn't do enough. but apparently i did because my opening was much better than the other side. but i'm happy.

and just in case you were wondering my team consisted of, and will consist of for the next debate when we will be defending slavery: Cindy Morton, Steven Cowley, Dimitri Rizos, and Emily Larkin, who wasn't here today. Dimitri was wonderful during his argument. He had written on a peace of paper in red and blue the word "FREEDOM" and then during his argument he tore it in half and crumpled it in a ball showing on Britain had destroyed our freedom. it even made Mr. Dewitt laugh. Dimitri is one of those guys that i would like to talk to and know better but i probably never will (but i do realize he is on the varsity soccer team, yepyep) but hey AP may give me a chance to get to know all of those people in that class better. it's only September you know.

overall i had a pretty good day. yeah i'm happy with that. especially for a Monday. i'm smiling now. but now it's time to go to sleep so i can have another wonderful day tomorrow.

when you were little.

how come you could be so different? you had different morals and things had completely different value to you. you weren't worried about the spanish quiz that you messed up because you didn't have a spanish quiz. you didn't talk sarcastically because you didn't know what sarcasm was. you weren't asked questions about "what do you think about people being gay?" because you had never heard the word "gay" before. you didn't worry about if that guy liked you or what would happen if he did or why he doesn't talk to you, is it because he is nervous or does he just not want to? you didn't worry because either someone was your friend or you didn't care about them. they were either nice to you or they weren't. it was simple.

when does that change? when do we suddenly know what sarcasm and gay mean? or maybe some children have known it since they were little. now i'm going to go into some uncomfortable territory here. but for some reason my exhausted brain thinks i should talk about it just in case this blog does go someplace that way it's here. now i just made a big build up for something that doesn't need a big build up. but when do children know what sex is? do their parents tell them? or are they like me and some kid on the bus tells you and you are seriously grossed out. then sometime later in your life your parent reads you and your sisters a book about "your body". but when do you seriously get the meaning of it? and the whole relationship part? and how you are supposed to have a relationship with someone based on something other than sex? your parent doesn't tell you stuff like that. or at least mine didn't and still doesn't. we don't talk about that. it's just something we avoid completely. and that's why it's uncomfortable to me. and this wasn't the point of this post.

when does it become fixed in our mind that the sky is blue and the grass is green and everything else is weird? is it because we see it like that all the time so everything else is ordinary? so a white child growing up in a community full of white people would think that black people are weird? a family full of blondes would think that a red haired child was weird? probably not. they would just think that because of society then call them names such as "ginger" in a derogatory sense.

when do children start to not say what they really feel? when does "i'm fine" become the standard reply when you feel like crying? when does making a friend become a complex system of talking to people, trying to be too interested, how much you should talk on facebook, and if you should do this or that? why does going to a party full of people you don't know become awkward? when you were little you would have made friends with everyone in that party, except for that one that stole your lemonade.

random note. i remember in ninth grade when Stephanie hated Matt Cabral. really hated him. and i'm sorry to admit that her feelings towards him sort of influence mine. i'm actually kind of glad because Matt isn't the kind of kid i would want to be hanging out with now that i have seen him for more than two years. but now she seems like best buds with him. what's up with that? now back to that deeper stuff in life.

now i can't think of anything else. so. sorry for such a deep post. but i still want to be on dancing with the stars with Derek Hough. i probably wouldn't be that good at dancing but i would have so much fun. i'm sorry Derek if you wouldn't win again. i know you won last year, did you any other times? wikipedia! you know you have made it big time when you have a wikipedia page that you haven't contributed to at all. ohhh he's won twice. whoa. the first season he was in was season 5 and he made it to the semi-finals in week 9. season 6 he made it to week 7. season 7 he won. season 8 he made it to week 9. season 9 he made it to week 9. season 10 he won.

OH. he has a sister. Julianne Hough. I know her from Dancing with the Stars too. ha. yeah she was with Cody Linley! i loved them. and the two of them sing. how wonderful. now i really need to go to sleep. this blog kept me up an extra half an hour. good night. and hey Derek if you are reading this, hi.

now i'm going to have to do that whenever i mention someone famous in case they read this. how about i cover this now. if you are reading this right now i say hi. and if i actually know who you are i say hi even harder. if i don't know who you are, i would like to get to know you so say hi back. but if i do know who you are i would like you to say hi back as well.

hi.

edit: i just watched a performance of Derek dancing from 2008 and i didn't even realize the person he was dancing with was this sister. yep.

my new life plan.

1. become a celebrity very quickly.
possible ways to do that: have my mother run for vice-president and then get pregnant. star on a reality show and have fabulous abs. have a tv series. star in a movie. become a comedian. sell million of records. or just you know become a celebrity.

2. get on dancing with the stars.
because now i'm a star so people would love to see me dancing.

3. have Derek Hough be my partner.
or maybe Marksim Chmerkovskiy or Mark Ballas. but i would prefer Derek Hough even if he is nine years older than me.

4. win the show.
or at least not get eliminated on the first night.

i guess that isn't really a life plan but i would like that to happen. this is the first year i've actually watched Dancing with the Stars. too bad when i'm on Dancing with the Stars Kyle Massey won't be on. or Bristol Palin, i like her after watching that show.

being sick sucks.

but i still do my AP history homework.
