Shopping in the neighborhood

2004-01-12T01:08:16Z

i went shopping today in all the little stores in hillcrest. like MINT. they have the cutest shoes there. and theres this store with a whole wall of superman stuff. from there i got: magnets for my mini fridge, a superman pin ball game, and an address book. so give me your address and cell number and email address and i will love you forever hhee.
I went to buffalo exchange and got this cute purse too. its hard to describe so you'll just have to wait until this friday to see it hehe.

Then i went to subway and got the same type of sandwhich i always get. how boring am I?

then i went home to watch some bball games on tv.
Duke vs. Virginia. it started off as a good game, because the score was fairly close, only four and AT most six apart. but after halftime, it went downhill for virginia, and duke gained a twenty point lead.

Now i am watching the Georgia Tech-North Carolina game. so hopefully that will be a good game.

Its ACC sunday hehe.

Matt Lottich and Cory Violette are my cutey bballers. hehee. #33 must be the best number!

I've been messing with my journal a tad. Making it more basketball themed.

omg yesterday we beat bishops. 29-22. yeah iknow. we havve really low scoring games. haha. we still won.

the Jv boys game kept me on the edge of my fucking seat. so fucking close. adn we so had them. we DID have them through the entire game, until the last few horrible seconds. oh well. nice try guys.

Varsity girls game was tough. GOod try though girls. IT was hard and you played tough. sorry for the loss though.

Varsity boys game was exciting. so fast. i love it. omg so fun. i loved it. So intense. hehe. i dont remember the final score, so if anyone knows, let me know. IT was great. I really want to see pat dunk. i really really do. austin told me that james, gio and pat have all dunked in a game (pats was called as a carry so it didnt count) but i really want to see someone dunk.

it was a fun fun day. Justin hehe. just so many wonderful people went, and so many wonderful people playing haha.

oh yeah..anyone know whatt the foul was that was called against luke for?

omg the Stanford-Arizona game was embarrassing. Arizona #3 and Stanford#4. it was supposed to be a close game. instead:
Arizona was nervous, and Stanford was taking advantage of that. So it got as big as a 20 point lead for Stanford. But Arizona brought it back to only a 10 point lead for Stanford and ended the game : 82-72.

I love: Matt Lottich. hehe. sharp three point Stanford Shooter. not to mention hes cuuuute.

some say that you can achieve anything you set your mind too. so why are people telling me to stop trying?
they may not realize it but its like them telling me to give up on my dream.
sometimes i want to, but then i know i will regret it later..

me=tired

2004-01-02T03:37:39Z

last night was new years eve. i stayed up until 6:30 in the morning before i decided to go to bed. then i was awoken at 10:30 so that i could help clean up seans house. gee thanks.
then i went to see Cheaper by the Dozen with Vincent and Taylor. It was so cute, and good. i cried a couple a times. hehe. Me like Tom Welling. Then we went to starbucks and i got a carmel macchiato. It was really good.
I cant beleive how well im functioning with only four hours of sleep. i only went to bed about 12 hours ago. lol.

Omg! my little cousin Jack hes so cute, hes only like three. and he started playing tee ball. Hes gonna be a damn good baseball player, i can tell. its so cute tho, cuz hes left handed, but all the other kids on his team are right handed so he always tries to have his glove on the same hand as the others, but it doesnt quite work out. I have a pic of him i just dont know how to paste it on a livejournal. so if someone knows, fill me in here.

Last Year. the game that precedes sweet 16 (aka the game where the winner of that game will go to the sweet 16)
Arizona Wildcats vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs

There were things that I wish not remember. But they are the things I simply cannot forget. They are what make me cry. They are what make me smile and laugh. They are what make me want you. They are what make me want to hurt you. They are the both the ups and downs, and everything in between. I can't live without them, yet I don't want to live with them either. It's hard to move on knowing that I am leaving you behind. It's hard to move on because I want to bring you with me. These two contradicting desires leave me broken, and alone. I cannot choose between them. It's impossible. When times got rough for me, you would be the one I would run to. But now, who would I run to? And how could I run to you, if you were the one causing all my pain? I feel so alive around you. Yet my heart is still hurting. You're the only person who allows me to feel pain, happiness, sorrow, joy all at the same time. You're the one who taught me to believe. How can I believe, when you're also the one telling me to let go?

independence as an individual. Wants to make up her own mind without interference,
to draw her own conclusions and arrive at her own decisions. Detests
uniformity and mediocrity. As she wants to be regarded as one who gives
authoritative opinions, she find it difficult to admit to being wrong,
while at times she is reluctant to accept or understand another's point
of view.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Circumstances are such that she feels forced to compromise for the time
being if she is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full
participation.

Trying to calm down and unwind after a period of
over-agitation which has left her listless and devoid of energy. In need of
peace and quiet; becomes irritable if this is denied him.

Willing to
become emotionally involved, but demanding and particular in her choice of
a partner and in her relations with those close to her. Needs
reassurance and is careful to avoid open conflict since this might reduce her
prospects of realizing her hopes.

Your Desired Objective
Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom
from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and
its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a
fine eye for detail.

Your Actual Problem
Wants to be valued and respected, and seeks this from a close and
peaceful association of mutual esteem.

Your Actual Problem #2
Does not wish to be involved in differences of opinion, contention or
argument, preferring to be left in peace.

i want my big brother back....hes slowly coming back to me but i still feel hurt from earlier...

2003-12-23T05:27:30Z

nothing new has happened in the last few DAYS.

do you know that feeling of emptyness?
where you arent sad or depressed, but nothing makes you happy either.
where your old interests no longer make you happy like they used to.

sure, i still love basketball, but im not hyped up over it anymore
sure, i still love rootbeer, but i dont get excited when i see it
sure, i still love smallville, but i havent been dying to see it anytime soon.

people say this is regular and that this will pass. i just wish it would pass a lot faster.

lately, ive gotten this older brother. someone who looks after me, makes sure i am okay, helps me with whatever is wrong. Someone i could talk to. someone i look up to. not necessarily an idol but someone who would be there when i needed them. I try to make sure that hes proud of me, and that he believes in me and that i meet his standards. but now i feel like ive upset him, and that everything i do to try and please him just digs me deeper in this rut. i still try and make sure that im up to par with someone he would associate with, but i keep failing. For awhile, ive been dusing off my shoulders and trying again, but now i dont know. i Know one thing. he is trying to help me, but while im in this stupid rut, nothing is being processed and i just keep on digging deeper. i miss my older brother. the one i could talk to about anything. i miss my older brother. the one who would feed me advice. i miss him.

Which Jake Gyllenhaal Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

too drained of energy to even HAVE a mood~

2003-12-17T04:42:49Z

first of all i got a 94% on the geometry quiz. thats hella awesome

basketball sucked. WE HAD THEM GODDAMIT then we let it go. GAAHH. o my fucking god..on thursday ( the game that EVErYONE SHOULD GO TO) im gonna rip people apart..

ima go in hard for every basket, hopefully getin the basket and the foul shots. and when im on defense ima not let my person get the ball and if they DO get the ball, im not going to let them penetrate at all! im goign to rip the ball down on rebounds (defensive and offensive) and if its offensive ones, im going to power it back up. Hopefully ill get some steals and power lay up them.

IM GOING TO BE THE HULK of our team. Piss me off. YOu are GOING DOWN! DOWN I TELL YOU. DOWN!!

no more shit.

play every offensive play like its the last 30 seconds of the game and you are down by 2 and you HAVE TO MAKE the basket to win.

play every defensive play like its the last 30 secongs of the game and you are up by 2 and you CANNOT let them pass and score.

play every quarter like its the last.

play every minute the best you can.

basketball rants:
i wish i was point again. being center is okay. but even though i post up i rarely get the ball. when i was point, it was in my hands and i can shoot from practicly everywhere on the court (except threes). i would score like 12 points a game. i know i should be able to do that now, but i hardly get the ball so its kind of hard to score without the ball. oh well. as long as my team does well, its all that matters.

If anyone has any "post player" or center tips/secrets, let me in on them.

if you can:
come to the game on Thursday at 3:30 in the FH. we will most likely lose, but it still means a lot.

GaH! and YAY! i get to go to LA on saturday for the Mich STate - UCLA game. I told coach that my fam was going to LA para Hanukkah cuz i AM going with family up there but not for hanukkah. and im kinda skipping the saturday game against Coronado. SORRY GUYS. but SHHH!!

And if you have nothing to do on Saturday, watch the Gonzaga Stanford Game. Root for GOnzaga cuz they can tear up the COURT.
Cory is my forward/center HERO

#33. so look for him. hes 6-8 God damn! and #1 Ronny Turiaf Baby! DAMN now theres a guy who can rip you to shreds. and #10 blake stepp, hes my homeboy. Love him to pieces. hes finally getting play time ever since Danny got drafted to the NBA. I LOVE DANNY TOO. he used to be #21 on gonzaga and damn he had THE coolest hair. and now hes #12 on the Hawks. Hes a really good perimeter shooter.

Thanks luke for that random cup of coffee before school. it was nice and warm and yummy. and from my secret santa who i still have no clue who it is, gave me ROOTBEER and SOUR PATCH kids the bestest things EVER!

and damn justin. I MAY LOVE YOU TO PIECES> but you win too much at pickleball lmao. omg we have SO MUCH TO catch up on since you werent here yesterday. cuz you were "recovering" from your vball tourney.

Things that made me laff today:

josh as a hUGE yellow BananA

ME boxing out on some clueless girl and have her yell WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? at me.

me yelling DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD and having a different girl saying "whats your problem"

justins constant "I HAVE THE BEST XMAS GIFT FOR YOU." stop taunting me. GRRR. hehe.
