Fencing - and The Game

Today's FAIL:

Ok. . . hmmmm so what's been going on today?

Well, since there was the Mitty Open House today at 9, and I didn't go to church yesterday, and my parents just HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH EVERY WEEKEND, I had to go to mass at 7:30 in the morning.  Yes, 7:30. Then, my whole family went to Mitty. Now, Mitty's cool and everything, the academics and sports are hella good, and they've got a hee-ooge campus. But I came out knowing one thing: I want to go to St. Francis. Yes..... Mitty had good presentation, but I didn't feel really comfortable there.... haha, and I should be saying this, the girl who wanted to really go to Mitty and used to not even THINK about St. Francis? Yeah, it kinda happened at a High School Info night I went to in September. Anna and I saw both Mitty and St. Francis, and St. Francis was actually really good. And then we went to the Open House. And realized that St. Francis was awesome. I'm sorry for not liking St. Francis. Really.

Now, after that, I went to see the guys' tournament at Stanford!!! I was a bit late, and I got there to find Matt, Sergio, Andrew (who I didn't know was fencing), Jonathan (rawr, I forgot to call him 'Jonny' again, apparently a bunch of ppl do, AK and I were talking about that), and Josh taking their break after the pools. Sergio was hugging people. Again. Scary. I know.

But anyway, so yeah, I saw their DEs; then Jonny and Marco went to fence in Juniors. I had to go after Juniors started, and when I left, Jonny was about to fence Brian H. He's apparently really good. Rawr, I didn't get to see the result of the bout... Oh well.

Well, what else was I gonna talk about? Oh yeah, The Game.

I'm sure many people know about The Game, and if you do, you just lost it.

If you don't know the game, let me explain, cuz it's very simple:

There's only one rule: If you think of the game, you lose the game.

It took me a while to get it, but I did eventually, last March (i think it was March). Anna introduced it to me. It's changed me. Literally. But it's not SO IMPORTANT, but it's pretty damn hilarious.

So, you know how we humans think, right? I hope so.... but anyway, you think of things, but of course, they fade from your mind eventually. Now, The Game: you're always playing it, and when someone says "The Game" or something like that, it'll come back into your mind. That means you just lost it. So The Game basically has to do with remembering stuff. You're always playing, even if you don't know what it is. You're just winning. And the best part? If you lose The Game, and you say, "Damn, I just lost The Game," everyone else around you loses too!!!! It's sooo funny. I told people at fencing about it last summer (2009), and it's become a HUGE "inside" joke. Like, we'll randomly say to each other, "You just lost The Game," and everyone just hates it. But it's fun.

Then, I (being me, if you know how I am) bought a shirt from Target. It was genius. I wore it to fencing one night, on our Coach's birthday, when everyone was hanging out, having cake and Coke. People took one look at me, and "hated" me. It was HILARIOUS. Why? Well, when people looked at my shirt, they would see the phrase:

"I ♥ THE GAME".

I just love Champion (the brand)..... :D

I just took that picture, actually....

Wellwellwell. . . I guess that's it today.

Came home sick!!! tons of poems

waaa! i came home sick at like 12:30 today. HUGE stomachache. lol stomach cake. anyway i've been really tired/ bored. just finished emailing a ton of people cuz i have so much to reply to. k, since i have a ton of time i might as well rite a poem. btw this is gunna be completely copyrighted under my name like as soon as i finish writing so NO COPYING!!! mmmkay . .

LOVE

Love is that thing that puts you to sleep

when you're still afraid

Love is the thing like a rose that's red deep

on your front porch it has been laid

Love is what helps when life is steep

when hate has raided your soul

Love is what cheers when your tears creep

when sadness has taken its toll

Love is the fire that burns always bright

Love is the bird as it takes its first flight

Love is the mother caressing her child

Love is the ocean, fearless and wild

Love is a diamond, cut to perfection

Love is the lost one, needing affection

Love is a flower, vibrant and growing

Love is safety, where fear isn't showing

Love is the sky, abundant and blue

Love, if you listen, is speaking to you.

THIS POEM WAS FINISHED BY ME AT 1:49 PM ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16th, 2009.

ok yes, i like riting poems. this is the first one i've done that has to do with an emotion, and i think it turned out pretty good, considering it took me like 10 minutes.

Rarr i'm so mad at jeremy for dating tatiana. i can't believe he would date someone like that! u can always tell if a relationship will last or not depending on if he calls u hot or beautiful. A real guy would call you beautiful. jeremy called tatiana hot. i wuz there when he asked her out. he wuz all "ok. you're hot-" her best friend screamed here. "do you wanna go out?" and it all went wack from there.

Currently, i kinda-sorta enjoy being single. just understand that i don't wanna ruin me and the guy i like's friendship. it would be TOO weird to date him. which is why i'm not asking him out. yet.

aurgh i'm so bored! k, here's whats called a "couplet":

Time is fleeting

and you are still reading

tada! haiku:

A flower steady

in the vase alone just there

when is it blooming?

limerick:

There once was a man from canada

he could barely even stand up

he had chicken legs

for better ones he begged

till he met a man who instead had stirrups

COPYRIGHT BY ME AS OF 2:05

hope you enjoyed those! can't you tell how bored i am? OMG my computer project is due tomorrow and i can't work on it! :((

ugh my stomach still hurts . . . haha i just read over that limerick again! it's actually kind of funny. except i feel sorry for the guys. one with chicken legs, one with stirrups instead of legs.

luv that quote. also:

"They say disneyland is the happiest place on earth; i guess they've never been in your arms."

i don't know who that ones by but it's so sweet!

i'm looking at my sister's biology book right now. according to her it weighs 6 pounds. WOW! at least she doesn't have to carry it in her backpack EVERYDAY. her school has a block schedule, ie. periods 1-3 on one day, then 4-7 or wtvr the next. she gets TWO DAYS to do homework!!!
