"Stay Beautiful"

Heyy! I was asked what my favorite song was the other day and my all time fav is still "Stay Beautiful" and then I thought of you when I said that cuz the whole nicknames with Taylor Swift songs thing...Cory, Stephen, and Drew! :) And when we were like what the heck does it mean that his smile is like a radio? Well, I'm still wondering...

Speaking of Taylor Swift, have you heard her new songs? They're pretty good...

Well, I just thought I would randomly post that haha.

Love, Blonde

PS: Are you hiccuping as you read this?

mine (just cuz thats the new amazing taylor swift song!)

sorry its been a while i have been really busy! haha okay this is really random but i keep thinking about this when i read ur post for some reason. k remember when i got my braces off and u were like pointing at my teeth with a thumbs up in english? well i honestly had no idea what u were talking about and after a few times of being like what? i just thought oh well so i mouthed thanks back and then i was thinking about it and a few seconds later i totally got it and i was like ohhhh. hahaha okay sorry that was random i just thought of that for some reason.

anyways.

well your posts have been very insightful and mature and deep, but i cant think of anything like that at the moment. im sorry that ur year was so full of bad stuff :( but it sounds like u have grown from it at least. thats always good. my year was fairly easy, no conflicts and really very few negative things happened to me. hmmm.

i cant believe summer is almost over and school is starting again! wow! just a week or two left now. well post back soon :)

loooove, blonde :)

happy :)

DISCLAIMER: AFTER READING THIS POST, I REALIZED THAT THIS IS ANOTHER MATURE SOPHMORE POST. YIKES!

Hola!

Yes, running is simple...:) And swim is HUGE, which I don't like. But oh well! I am having fun on the swim team that I'm on right now, anyways. :)

Oh, well that's good that you are friends with Gianna now, I think I thought of that because you said that some people hate you and you always used to say Gianna didn't like you. Anyways, that is good. Amd what do you mean that it is awkward cuz of what happened with you and Johnny? What happened? Haha you forget that you and I haven't talked since like Decemember! It's kind of ironic that you said that about Johnny cuz I just saw him with his football friends (or baseball idk!) yesterday haha random moment. He is always so personable and says hi even though we don't really know each other very well at all.

The swim team I'm doing right now is nice cuz it is little. There are seven people in my lane cuz there are only seven highschooolers. And five of us are SM sophmores: me, Ashley, Nicole, Julian, and Erin. There is a guy that is gonna be a freshman and doesn't know where he is going for sure yet and a guy named Troy that I know pretty well cuz we are family friends and he goes to Mission Viejo highschool. It is a fun group!

I am having a fun summer and I hope you are too! Post back soon!

Love, Blonde

(PS yeahh coryyy that's embarassing hahahaha there we go at least my "ps" isn't mature hahahaha)

Hi there:)

Okay so now I get what you're saying about swimming...like I think running might be the simplest sport there is. You can do it anywhere - you don't need a pool or a field or a court - and all you really need is yourself. So yeah. Probably why I like running...as you know, I'm not exactly THE most coordinated person out there:) But I'm happy to hear that swim is going well! The SM swim team is sooo big. Like it seems like half the people at our school are on it. Cross country on the other hand is, well, the lowest of the totem pole as far as sports go. But it don't matter none:) (<---- English Honors student right there....oh Bluebarry, you taught me well.)

Hahahahahahahahaha Sean........I liked that little comment you slipped in there about liking his friend. Uhh...Cory? Yeah. Hahahahaha that made me laugh...good times, good times.

Hmmm it's interesting that you thought of Gianna, cuz I've been seeing her pretty much every day this summer - including today! - cuz of xc camp. And to be perfectly honest, she's really not that good. Just mediocre I guess as far as the running goes. But she does her best haha:) But to answer your question...she and I are friends now. We have been for pretty much the whole year. Maybe not the beginning so much, but idk. Things were pretty awkward with her for a while - still kinda are - because of what happened with me and Johnny. Ehh. Yeah...but I don't know. The problem is that they both talk to me about each other, and I can't really choose "sides". I mean, if I was going to choose a side, I know who it would be with. But I can't do that...I just have to deal with both of them at the same time.

What else? You're right...we really haven't been posting all our embarrassing stuff lately! Now that we are sophomores, we are soooo much more mature about these things. HAHA no...that's a joke;)

Post back soooon dude! We're on a roll here!

Love and rockets,
Brunette

water

heyy! <3

Yeah, I'm doing swimming. I don't mind swimming itself so much, but I hate the whole ORDEAL of it. I mean, to run, you just...run. For swim, you have to have the cap and goggles and UGLY one piece bathing suit and you're being immersed in chlorine which, (if you are blonde like me) can turn your hair GREEN and you get out and you are soaking wet. Other than that, it's really nice. :) It is definitly a good sport when it is hot. And I like the Coto Summer team because I like most of the people in my lane :) There are four other SM sophmores woo hoo! :)

I'm glad that you can run!! :) I know you like that. Hope your run went well! That was fun last year :)

Well, I guess that is good that you are over Sean...almost everyone has a crush on him at some point or another, idk why haha (I don't think I ever did for some reason. Maybe cuz I liked his friend hahahahaha). And the worst thing is he totallllllly knows it. Not that he's not nice. But still. :)

The new blog wallpaper is so cool! I went on the blog and I'm like woah! cuz it looks so different! It's so cute :) I like how everything, (like the font and placement of things) is totally different!

Does Gianna do the summer xc thing? She must be pretty good if she made the team this year with the tryout and without doing the summer camp. Do you like her better now? I hope she has been nicer to you lately...woah I don't know how I just thought of Gianna hahahahaha. I think cuz of the whole xc thing...oh well. haha randoooooooooom.

You know what Brunette I think we are becoming more normal people because we haven't posted anything embarassing or weird for the last couple of posts! Woo hoo look at how mature we are! hahahahaha. :) yeah right.

Okay, well I can't think of anything from your post that I did not answer and I am off to go shopping with Lindsay and Christine. So post soon!!!!!!!!!!! :))))


Love, Blonde

unwell

Hey Blonde:)

For some reason I thought I posted back to your last one...but I guess I only wrote it mentally? Hahaha typical me, sorry:) Okay so here goes:

So about the "bubble" thing...haha yeah I just randomly remembered how we talked about it a long time ago. So I'm glad that you seemed to have sorted things out...at least I would assume so, considering you can't even remember who it was that you liked? ...Which must mean that there is a new non-bubble person taking the place of the other three? Hmmm? Do tell! Hahaha:)

Sean:) No...that kid and I are just friends for now. I actually have barely seen him this summer, which is weird. I miss him. Oh well, I'm sure I'll see him soon. But no, I don't like him the same way anymore:) Good thing we never actually named him...that would make things a little awkward now hahahahaha...

You're doing swim? I thought you hated swimming? Or maybe you USED to hahaha. I know that you don't like soccer...hahaha I feel the same way as far as that goes. And I'm really bad at swimming...I'm not much of a water person. So I stick with running. Yeah, I still have some shin problems - as a matter of fact, I just iced - but overall I'm surviving. Camp this year has been really good. Sooooo much less awkward now that we're sophomores and not freshman!:)

Hmmm what else? Ohh. I have to wake up before 6 tomorrow (SATURDAY) cuz I'm running in the Sarah DeMille 5k for the second year. Blehhh. The whole xc team is supposed to go. But it's okay cuz by now we're used to the lovely sights of each other in the morning, considering we've had morning practice all this week. At least it's better than running in 102 degree weather with no shade whatsoever...hahaha the second week of camp wasn't too comfortable. Summer is nice when you're in the pool, or if you actually tan. It's not so nice when you're running 6 miles in the middle of the day. I guess all xc runners really ARE insane...it's probably due to the huge amounts of protein and gatorade we consume all the time. AWESOME!

I feel like I should write some more, but I can't think of anything right now. Gotta go and get hydrated for tomorrow. Post back soon!:)

Love and rockets,

Brunette

summertime by kenney chesney

BRUNETTE!! :)

No, drama isn't cool. Haha.

Okay the thing with the two, (three?) guys...I kind of remember something like that but that was so long ago that I honestly do not remember who I was talking about. So I think I can safely say that I don't like any of the two (three? I'm hoping I didn't like three guys at once. Maybe I didn't know which one I liked. Oh well.) guys anymore. So forget the whole two (three?) guys thing haha that obviously hasn't been going on for a while. I totally remember the bubble thing, but idk which guys I liked or if I liked them or what the whole thing with the guys was haha.

Um, excuse me, speaking of guys, I never got an answer...do you like Sean? Or no? I'm curious! :)

Track...well like you had, (have?), I have shin splints that do NOT go away at all, (I get them EVERY time that I try to run). So running is sadly not a sport for me, although I loved xcountry once I got the hang of it :( So I'm going to do swim and I am currently in a swim team this summer.

So, wait, you're in xcountry? I thought you were still hurt? How is that going?

And, yes, there is always drama although i have had almost none this year which is amazinggggg!! :)

How is your summer? I'm going to Florida and N. Carolina in August. I've been hanging out with friends ALOT at the pool plus swim, my hair will turn green yikes! And shopping a ton too! haha loveee it! Remember that penpal from Florida that I have had since I was six or seven and haven't seen since I was nine? She came to my house for a week this summer. It was really fun. What have you been up to?

LOVE, Blonde :)

PS: woah blondes song was a christmas song haha shows how long ive been away from this! i'll change it soon but i gtg now! :)

anywhere but here

Dear Blonde,



I'm glad you posted back! And I'm even happier to hear that your year was good...as I recall, eighth grade didn't end with quite as good a feeling for you. So I'm glad everything worked out this year. :)



So in answer to your question...no, Sean wasn't the reason that some parts of second semester were bad. It was more of just a ton of drama and weirrrrd stuff going on, mostly other people's drama that I kind of got sucked into because they're my close friends. It was mainly girls' problems for some reason (not like mean girls or bullying or fighting or whatever, just other weird stuff). It seems like all drama is caused pretty much by girls in the first place. Which is why I find myself mostly hanging out with guys. I mean, I obviously have girl friends and whatever, but now all my best friends are guys. I feel like I can trust them more. I've never had a guy friend stab me in the back, unlike more than one "girl friend" has. Plus, I think I just get along better with guys. Idk why, it's just how it is.

SPEAKING of guys....did you ever figure out your situation with those two (three? I can't remember the number haha) guys that you cough cough never told me the names of? The ones where we were talking about the bubble and how sometimes it's all comfortable and great inside the bubble but all of a sudden the bubble pops and you don't know how to get it back? Yeah well you said that there were a few guys that you had that with....hahaha so I hope that worked out. Maybe you've been hanging out with one or all of them this summer? You gotta fill me in sister! Hahahaha:) Summer's weird in the sense that you don't see the friends you might normally see in classes but you wouldn't hang out with them outside of school...I guess summer is where you find out who are your close friends who are willing to make the effort.

And MISTERRRRR M! Ahhhhh! I am so furious at that man for ruining the last part of my freshman year. Ughhhh. It's not acceptable. I love him. He can't leave. @(*&#$(^$@(&# NOT COOL MERC. If I don't get him for my religion teacher this year....well, it won't be pretty.

Soooo yeah. I can't believe he did that...but at least we got free seating once he left hahaha;)

Okay I have to go run...cross country calls....hey that reminds me, what sports are you doing?! I heard you quit track? That's not good. Fill me in! Gotta go run, post back soon:)

Love and rockets,
Brunette <333

Dear Brunette,

First of all...yes, his name was Michael. :)

But more importantly, yes we're SOPHMORES! woo hoo! :)

Next, freshman year. Well, I can't say that I remember the first sememster more than the second one...but I had a really good year. :) It's kind of funny that the two classes you were in were the two classes I was really really quiet in because I didn't know anyyyyone! I had friends in all of my classes but those ones! Well, except in religion I became friends with Kerry. But still.

Speaking of religion, wonder what happened to Mr. M? That was so weird. I liked him, but at the same time it was kind of nice to have him gone too because he could be really awkward and creepy about me...yeah. Idk what it is with me and teachers. Haha my Spanish teacher told me that she had a dream about me, Mr. Stark loved me, and Mr. Mercer and...well, pretty much every other teacher. Anyways! Moving on!

Haha so I'm sorry you're second semester was bad :( Mine were both good...Did the whole Sean thing possibly have anything to do with that? (for you, I mean, not me hahaa). Do you still like him?

And about people hating you...I have never heard of anyone hating you, if that makes you feel better. And yuppp friends are good :) haha I'm trying to answer what you said in your last post, but I can't see it at the same time as I write this so this might sound a little random cuz I'm trying to remember all that you said! Woah talk about long sentence.

How is your summer? Mine is great so far! :)

Poat back soon :)

<33333333333333333 Blonde

the more things change, the more they remain the same

Dear Blonde,

Wow. I'm not really sure how to start this. I just spent a good hour re-reading this entire blog from the beginning...and I can't believe how much has changed in a year and a half. It's kind of insane. Like I started off with that guy at Biola...I think his name was Michael? I honestly don't remember. He will be forever known as Stephen hahahahahahahahahahaha (WOW I AM SO MATURE IN MY THINKING). I wrote about how I was SO NERVOUS trying to talk to him or how I got SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED when he happened to sit 5 feet away from me at lunch, and only because his best friend wasn't there. Yeah, I'd see him once a week...and sooooooo much happened between us. Ha, joke. Absoloutely nothing did, which is why I can't even remember his name. It's so weird how things change...hahaha but it's so embarrassing reading those old posts of mine. Oh my goshhh:)

Well, neither of us has posted in more than 6 months, so you could say that we're a little behind. So, I guess we should attempt to catch up? Alright, so as far as the more "prevalent" issues on this blog go...

Sean went out with K...yeah. Then he broke up with her...yeah. No comment.

It's kind of funny how Johnny was mentioned in a few of these posts. Like even the one right below this one. That was back when I didn't even know him, and now...hahahahaha well. Things are a lot different. Hahahaha yeeeahhhhhh. A lot different. Obviously? Anyway.

What else? Ahh I feel like I can't even sum up what happened in the past 7 months...because I really don't know. That sounds weird. But honestly, the last maybe...4 months? of freshman year really kinda sucked. Well, some parts were fantastic and amazing and I loved every second of it (hehe....). But the rest just sucked. Too much drama and conflict and bleh. But the good news is that all the drama and gross stuff isn't really bugging me anymore. Summer is nice in that way - you get a break from all the stupid stuff that goes on at school EVERY DAY - and you can finally take a second to breathe. So that is why I'm not going to try and explain everything that went on since I last posted...cuz it's impossible. It's been a blur. I remember the first semester more than I do the second. Is that weird? Idk. Everything just seemed happier and brighter the first half of the year. Then there were some definite rough spots after. But overall, I guess the year was good. I really don't know how to explain it other than by saying it was nothing like I expected. But I suppose that's good in a way. I never expected to meet the people that I did, to form the relationships I did, and to change the way I did. I think I have changed. But not because I feel the need to fit in or have people like me. I know there are some people who hate me at school, for whatever reason. There are some people that I...uh...STRONGLY DISLIKE. But I'm over it, if you know what I mean. I'm completely comfortable with who I am, and I think that's the only way you can have TRUE friends. I learned that. If you're completely honest with being yourself, then you're bound to be completely honest with other people. And there are going to be some people who don't like you for who you are. But you know what? None of them matter in the end. In fact, they never did. Your real friends are the ones who love you despite your flaws. And they are going to be the ones who are there when you need them the most.

Babbling much? Yeah. Kinda. But hey...I have a right to babble after 7 months of utter and complete SILENCE! I think I'll post again soon. I forgot how much I liked this little blog. Even though we don't really talk anymore, I still care about you and I hope you're doing great. Post back?;) I want to hear what you thought of freshman year too! Oh hey, guess what? WE'RE SOPHOMORES!

Love and rockets,
Brunette.
