it was a warm afternoon, the day before summer school. I woke up thinking how dumb I was for having to go back to school on my break. I thought how bad it was going to be, how many people were going to make fun of me. but instead of not going I made the decision on going not for the popularity contest but for the work I needed to get done. when I got there I found out that there were some of my friends also going and that it was not that bad. the work was easy and I passed each class with A’s. I met a wonderful friend and now we are the best of friends! I love her to pieces, we have both been through alot and both have bad pasts. she took me in gave me a home and pretty much treats me like a sister. I love her like my sister, we fight like sisters, and pretty much know almost everything about eachother…like sisters :]]

I think that since I got up to do what I had to do made it to where I am now. I am so thankful for summer 08! and the people who have changed my life I love you.

Get a Voki now!

as far as i am concerned reccesion is upseting alot of house holds. A lot of American’s are out of their job’s which makes it very hard for parents to pay for groceries, as a teen nowadays it is very difficult to try and apply for a job if you don’t already have one. Personally i knew nothing about the economy presidential elections ect ect.. When it didn’t matter to me, but now as i find it hard to grow up in the state i was born in, it affects me physically and emotionally, not to say it’s depressing knowing our world will end here in a couple years (as people say) and how it looks… It is sad hearing that when my younger brother graduates (which is in 2012) the world is “supposed” to end…which means he will not be able to grow up fully and live a happy life…if that was fully true. You can’t really base an opinion on someone else’s, but it’s just what i have heard. i think that Obama is an okay person, i think that once he is officially president he will do us right. and hopefully…everything will be back to normal. i know several people out of their jobs and it really is hard, especially having to take care of like 3 kids, even more. just imagine how hard that would be if it stays this way. i know a family who just had a baby not to long ago and now both parents (young parents) not THAT young but you know 20′s…anywhoo they just had a baby and now both parents are layed off…it is very sad. so yea this is my opinion about reccesion! :]

Back when i lived in Washington i was about 12 or so i went to my aunt’s house to play with my cousin. we went down into the yard furthest to the house where the swingset had just been built out of my aunt’s boyfriends scrap metal. As i was keeping my cousin occupied her mom went to work in the garden. we were getting tired of just swinging and we wanted to pump things up so i made it more fun by swinging side to side, continuing to make my cousin laugh, well i got a fun reaction out of her so i kept up my good work. i did alot of silly things to make her laugh, well i’m guessing the swingset was being over used or something because the bar on the side of my swing started loosening, i thought nothing of it so i just kept on goofing off. after about 30 minutes of being silly the bar came loose and it smaked the left side of my lower back, everything felt numb for about 15 minutes, i went into the house and layed on my cousins bed for a good 5 minutes. then my body started tightening and i got sick to my stomache so i went back outside to find my aunt. as soon as i found her i told her the problem and she followed me to the house, we got to the living room area and she gasped. this is when i started flipping out asking her what was wrong with me, she told me to settle down and everything would be okay. of course i didn’t listen i screamed especially when she got the scissors out to cut my pants off the wound. she wrapped a small towel around my tiny waste and rushed me to the car. we were going very fast, i don’t remember the car ride to the hospital all that much except for crying, and her boyfriend telling me that he was soooo sorry blah blah….well we got into the hospital and i was carried in by her boyfriend, i was not only in pain but i was very embarassed to be rushed into a hospital in a towel. so we got into the small room i calmed down knowing i wasn’t going to die and my aunt there comforting me. then a man walked into the room telling me to put on this wierd looking shirt that only tied in the back, i thought he was crazy but did it anyways. then he came back in telling me they could not start stitching until my legal parent was in the hospital, this turned out to be the worst part of that day. my mother was MIA. when we finally found her she had been drinking, i told them to calm her down in the waiting room. so they started stitching me up. i was nervous so i just fell asleep. i woke up to a wierd feeling in my lower back then looked behind me and saw them stitching me up. it was gross but cool. then they started talking to me and i was still nervous so i fell back asleep until they were done. when i was all stitched up i got to go home, the best part of this trip! i was happy!. until we had to wait for someone to pick us up. it was cold and i didnt want to listen to my mother. we got home i ate, then fell asleep. and thats pretty much the end. :]

The first time I ever used electronics it was difficult, however I still knew what I was doing.  Even though I dont have that much experience working with high tech electronics I still know what i’m doing when it comes to a cell phone, computer, t.v , ipod, ect… “Teens these days” as our parents/gaurdians say are “too” into that kind of stuff.  I take it in no other way than in this generation us teens know how to work with the new high tech cell phones ipods ect. and very into it at that. I know that my experience with (for example) a cell phone is that I know what i’m doing, i am very well when it comes to a cell phone, I am comfertable and know everything about texting, calling, voicemail, and all of the above.  it may get on alot of older people’s nerves when they are talking to a teen and all they see is a cell phone in front of the teens face. although I am not sure why that is it is still “in” and note passing is heading on its way “out”. so its pretty much the new “note passing” techniqus us teens use today. :]…i personally do not have a cell phone, although my best friend does and im always texting on her phone, and when i get home im always first to the computer…i don’t watch much t.v but i do love music. so those are some things i use personally that are electronic :], some ways i use technology like to get ahlod of friends and parents would be by cell phone, but i also e-mail alot through myspace and msn :], when i see people with new electronics thats pretty much when i learn more about them. the process i go through when finding out about new technology would be that i wait until it crosses my path, like…for instance my friend gets one of the newest ipods then i would mess with it until i figured it out, then probably get one :] the process can be sometimes boring, but always fun to find out what new electronics are becoming, but there are some (phones) persay that are very frustraiting. :]]
