Sorry, it's been a while...

Haha sorry i haven't actually blogged in awhile (not that too many people would miss me, i only have two followers xD) I was too busy starting my freshman year of high school, sorry for any inconvenience... (that was a joke. haha.)

So anyway, i don't usually have time during the week to get on my laptop because of soccer (more latter) and homework. I was actually a wreck the first week because I was so stressed, I wasn't getting enough sleep, and I got sick, and people kinda make me nervous xP
But today I got online and saw I got an email notifying me that I got a comment on my Maximum Ride User Casting wall, from someone congratulating me on making the top five in the Nudge auditions. I only have one audition video up, so i was like whaaat?? And it wasn't even a Nudge monologue.. it was an Ella Monologue... (I mean, I have more audition videos, but I haven't put them on my computer yet.)

Also, on Wednesday, I had my first soccer game of the season. Probably the worst game I've ever attended. I can't say that I contributed to the loss, because my coach never put me in. I give away half my summer to her, and she doesn't even put me in. And it isn't because I'm a sucky player (I'm like fourth from the bottom...) it's mostly because this coach is new, so she didn't want to make cuts, but there weren't enough players for a JV and Varsity team, she just kept all the players and put em on one team. Not smart. There was like ten of us that never got to play. Including my friend, Kat, who was like a great starting midfielder last year. Still pretty pissed. But I'll get over it. If she lets me play. Eventually.

I'm Back!

Stereotypes... one of those things that you believe in, or say you don't believe in to be "one of those people that don't care about what people think about me" kinda people. Truth is, stereotypes are unavoidable. Unless you live in a cave all by yourself I guess... Cliques, too. Just feeling kinda thinky cuz I start high school next Tuesday. Well I guess in a week now, cuz it's 12:03 in the morning. I know, I've been saying I'm excited, but now that it's really right around the corner, I'm a little nervous. I didn't get to go to orientation because I was at Holt Camp (aka, best camp EVER, i miss my cabin girls! also, it's kinda weird being surrounded by white people again. idk... maybe it's just me) but I have an appointment for like 12 something today. Hopefully I'm awake -___- but most of all, I MISS MY FRIENDS!!!! one of my BESTEST guy friends, William, has been in Vietnam ALL summer! He gets back like three days before school starts!!!!! D'x I haven't seen him at ALL this summer, and I miss him so much TT_TT

And first day back at soccer today, and I got punished along with the team because they left trash. 2 minutes of team pushups. may not sound really bad, but trust me, even the seniors were hurting a little. and there was this new girl that must've just shown up for tryouts (which I missed, but they're not making cuts) and not conditioning, cuz I've never seen her before in my life.... and I don't wanna sound rude, but she's not the best. She had her toe under the ball and was flicking it up, and she asked me, "Why does it keep going up like that?" -__- well, according to physics, if you use force while moving in an upward motion, that thing's probably gonna go up too. Just sayin'. But she has the coolest glasses, and seems pretty ok.

It's been a while... I feel like I haven't awkwardly blogged in a long time... i miss you.

Oh, I started watching Shane Dawson videos on YouTube, listening to nevershoutnever, and I know the first few words to a Justin Bieber song. Yes. How one can change in a single week of being gone.

Sorry the last post was a BUM-MER!

bummer. summer. haha.
I know I've said this a THOUSAND times, but I want to go back to school.
Since soccer started, I guess I see some of my friends more often, but while getting hot and sweaty. (but I got out of doing suicides today because I had work done on my knees today. the metal tools of DOOM... I had a bruise before I even left the hospital.) And soccer is fun and all, but I don't get to see the all the people I want to see... plus in high school the teams aren't co-ed. xD
I don't have to much to say today, I'm just doing this because I'm pretty bored and can't sleep. I just wanna apologize for being such a DOWNER yesterday.

Preseason Begins...

Preseason started today. To be honest, it felt nice taking orders from someone other than Emily. And if it weren't so FRIGGIN hot outside, I probably would've enjoyed it more. n_n
I mean, the practice itself was better than running around in circles. But man, I wish there was a tree SOMEWHERE near that field for at least SOME shade.
We just started practice with dynamic stretches, then moved on to a whole bunch of passing drills and... not games, but... anyway, afterwards we started juggling (I got 4.) and by then, we were all sweating buckets. After that, though, everyone thought we were one because a lot of parents started showing up. So being as hot as we were, a lot of us drank a whole bunch of water. And then coach made us do sprints. Haha, so funny. We had to run the length of the field in 20 seconds and back in 40. It sounded really easy, but that heat started getting to all of us. we all started slowing down in the second round. But, I swear, no one in the world is slower than me. By the third round, (we were SUPPOSED to get a 10 second break, so I started tying my shoe, but the assistant coach told us to go while I was in the middle of tying the last knot. so i fell even further behind. Let's just say, I cam dead last. I was only a slight step above power walking. And just as everyone was leaving to go get more water, (I was like yes, I'd rather them not watch me come in last) the coach told them to stay and cheer for me. God, who does that? Like it was bad enough for me to come in last with all the parents onlooking from the hill, she had to make my friends (and people I haven't met yet) cheer me on, like I was some sort of pity player or something. you know, the one that never runs fast enough, juggles long enough, or contributes and put in as much effort as everyone else. I don't need any of their pity. Just because I can't run as fast as them, doesn't mean I'm not as good as them. gee.
So now i feel like shit, (because even after that, we still had to do more dynamic stretching) and I won't go list all the parts of me that hurt, but let's just say I am not looking forward to two more weeks of this.
I don't want to sound like a brat or anything, but I really wanted to go shopping today. I haven't gone shopping in the longest time, last time I actually went clothes shopping was in early June. And I haven't been to a Goodwill since March!
sigh I'm sorry this is so long.

I want to go back to school

for the record, two of my favorite days in the school year is the first day and the last day. all the other days in between are a roller coaster. but it's better than being stuck inside cleaning your room or just waiting to die. (Which, is almost a step up from what I've been doing this summer) Tomorrow my mom is going to make me spend the day cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. which is definitely not my first choice of how to spend my day after soccer conditioning. since no one ever shows up, those that come have to run. how's that fair? it's not. Emily (the senior that works us a little harder) says she doesn't give a damn about people who don't show up, as long as she's in shape. I don't know about her, but if I were the senior in this picture, I'd be nicer to all the new freshman who probably haven't been forced to run like this ever in their lives. In all my years of playing soccer, I'll admit to never having to run this much. And this isn't even official practice. It's run only by the seniors. I guess it is completely optional, but come on. the least the others can do is show up once a week.
So, so far my summer is a total waste of my time. I mean, yeah, I've gotten a lot done compared to some of my peers, like I've almost finished a complete book series, drawn and painted more in the past two months than usual, and started learning a third language, but still. I'm not... como se dice.. a social butterfly. Usually, the only social interaction I get is from the people I hang out with or talk to at school. Which, again, I'll admit is not very many. I've had friends that call me antisocial to my face. It doesn't really phase me, to be honest, but you know, it's one of those things that you just blow off until times when you actually realize it's true. I spent the entire summer after sixth grade cooped up in my closet. Yes, my closet. And it wasn't even a walk in closet. Just a closet with my clothes and stuff pushed to the side so I could sit. I usually talked to myself while doing miscellaneous stuff, like doodling or cutting paper. Well, actually I put posters of people on my wall and pretended they could hear me. So technically, I wasn't talking JUST to myself. Isn't that sad? I even read my old school notes when I get bored sometimes. I mean, I guess this blog is a step up from talking to myself, but I tend to get a little bit rant-y and completely oblivious that someone can ACTUALLY be reading this. Oh well, now that I'm aware of it, I guess I'll go rant somewhere else.

My Hair is Officially DYED!

So instead of bleaching my hair, (which would've been a TERRIBLE thing) and instead of getting BRIGHT red, I went with a brownish red instead. it looks like someone dipped my hair into cherry cola. and my bangs, which are a bit brighter than the ends. But I'm happy with it, because it will be more permanent than what I had originally wanted to get done. It still looks pretty cool, if i do say so myself. While i was in the salon, my dad told my aunt "Just wait til after four practices, she'll probably sweat it off." and my aunt looked at me and said "Oh my gosh, we forgot to tell him this was permanent!" and i almost died laughing, but I wasn't supposed to move. but it was pretty funny. And in the middle of all this, I acquired my second poster of Avan Jogia. Yes, I've had a pretty fantastic day.

But now that that's over, i have pretty much nothing to look forward to for the rest of the summer besides Asian Adoptees Camp, and soccer preseason (which if you think about it, probably won't be too fun.) Well, I guess I can look forward to getting fang... (yeah, I still haven't read it.) I kinda just want to go back to school. I don't get enough social interaction during the summer. I'm always one to be sitting all alone at home doing geeky things while everyone else is at the pool. (For the record, I hate the pool and wasting my money there. I only go because my friends really like wasting money.) But on the plus side of being totally antisocial, I drew a pic of my FAVORITE combat boots:

It took FOREVER because they were so dark, and all i had was a mechanical pencil. But yeah, I like it a lot n_n

Christian Nobel Roderick

have you ever heard of this dude? I found him on the maximumrideusercasting.ning.com site, and he was voted as Fang (one of the HOTTER characters) then I stumbled upon him again when i was looking for vids of Avan Jogia on YouTube (you know how i be) And he had like 4 videos, two of them where of him doing all this ninja-like stuff! it was really cool, and I've always wanted to learn how to do all that... i remember almost breaking my arm when my friend, Kristen, tried teaching me at recess in the second grade -___- but nonetheless, flips of any kind never cease to amaze me! and then there was another video of him playing piano, which I thought was really cool. a dude with awesome hair, great taste in music, the ability to flip around, play piano, and likes MAXIMUM RIDE??? All equals up to one thing if you ask me. (and even if you don't ask, its HOTNESS, just sayin')
I don't really know, just another useless post before soccer conditioning tomorrow. did i ever tell you i hate running? I'm more of a practice what you need, nothing excessive. I don't need to run laps around a soccer muddy soccer field with my new shoe inserts, to practice defense. That's right, I'm a defense player. And I'm one of those people that hates running without real purpose. Oooh, let's run around in circles and get all wet and itchy, so you can learn how to defend THAT goal! it's all a little pointless to me. I feel like we should scrimmage. at least we could get bruises that way. xD

^Maile! Orr^

p.s. if no one has figured out, those are wings. get it... like ^j^ wings. maximum ride? yeah.

So here I am... the psychic.

So remember when i said i probably wasn't going to post today? hahaha well, I lied. Well not entirely, because i showed up to practice, prepared to face the mean senior head-on, (here she's the realistic metaphor for reality) but no one showed to practice except me and my friend, Maya. We waited a good seven minutes (cuz here, if you're not there within 7 minutes, you're not gonna show.) and then decided to leave.
so i was thinking, if the mean senior represents reality, then what are the other players that were a no-show? Are they the dreamers that don't want to face reality? Or were Maya and me all to willing to face reality? I don't know, but I'm feeling glad I didn't have to face reality today... I mean i didn't even have breakfast. (We're out of Nutella and noodles... two of the things i like to have for breakfast.)

So I probably need to cut it short here, because my brother also got a laptop (he actually had to pay for his. I earned mine.) and he wants me to go check out his "awesome speakers". I prefer to use headphones personally, but whatever.
