What time is it?

OK, so it's really 11:28, but my blog says it's sometime after 9--somethings not right here...

Funny Story Really

Last night was the boys first regional basketball game in Wakefield. My parents were going so I wanted to go. But, I couldn't ride with them, I had to ride the pep bus. Stupid school rules! They are trying to keep cars off the road, but if my parents are driving anyway, making me ride the pep bus does not reduce the number of cars on the road, it just puts the people in them in different locations. But riding the bus wasn't all bad...

The game was good, the boys won easily. I was going to ride home with my parents after because they drive faster than the bus. But they wanted to stay for the next game. So I decided to go home on the bus to take my own car home after all.

Wakefield is only 25 minutes from Randolph, so it's not too long of a ride. But there was one problem with my plan. The bus was just pulling into the parking lot when I looked up at my friend Lauren and realized that I shouldn't have taken the bus home after all!

I didn't have my KEYS!! So I came all this way to get home early and it doesn't matter because I can't drive home! So I called my parents on their cell phones and left them messages. My savior, Taellor, took me to her house so I wouldn't have to wait in my car alone. So when my dad finally came to pick me up, I was playing Texas Hold Em with Taellor, Bailee, and their dad, Jeff. I've never played this game before, but I raked in the cash with a straight in the second round when I went all in for the heck of it!

I got home a little after 9 and stayed up for the rest of the Olympics--Japan won its first gold women's figure skating metal! So when I explain what happened last night, I usually start out with, "Well, it's a funny story really..."

random

valentines day is overrated
balloons filled with flour are really entertaining
christmas day should be the longest day of the year
high school boys can be just as dramatic as middle school girls
don't ever try a school lunch if you don't know what it is
Swedes have the best food
girl rock singers usually aren't very good

"...so far away from everyone, and everything starts today..."

Those are the lyrics from the song Keep It Together by Guster. The inspiration for my blog title. So I'm writing finally because my brother Jason has been nagging me for a while. Well, a little about me...

this past summer I went on a scholarship program to Japan through YFU (this is some great advertising!)

i'm completely bored with school in general, but those who know me know that i'm a great student and wouldn't be able to take a bad grade for long

i have a lot of random thoughts

my best friend thinks i'm chronologically challenged because i can't tell a story straight through without adding something in that happened way before and doesn't have anything to do with the story in the first place

i've got tons (and i mean tons!) of letters from colleges telling me, Come here, because we're so great!... blah, blah, blah...

i have very little patience with stupid people and dramaqueens

i've been independent from most everyone since 7th grade

i think No Child Left Behind is stupid--it left me waiting on them to catch up

i DON'T have an eating disorder, even though the school nurse thinks so

so all you people who have to diet to stay thin--i'm the one to hate :)

i enjoy spending time with my family (all you rebels will never come back after reading that)

and i just looked at the length of this and i have decided it's about time to stop! So Jason, enjoy your reading.
