Speak Now

I know if my dad catches me writing this, he's going to be angry, because it's late, but I am just so excited! Taylor Swift's new album, Speak Now, is being released in less than half an hour. I know that I'm probably not going to get the album until Tuesday, but it is just too amazing!

It's going to change my life, just like everything else she does. To school tomorrow, I am going to wear my white Taylor Swift shirt, that I bought at her October 9 concert last year. I have never worn it, but I'm excited to. I want to paint a 13 on my hand, like Taylor does, but I don't know if that's going to work out.

I recently found out that one if the girls on my volleyball team is just as in love with Taylor Swift as I am! She was surprised to hear that the only single I've listened to is 'Mine'. I don't know why, but I just want to listen to the album as a whole. I want it to be special.

I'll take a picture when I get the album and I'll probably either write a blog post, tell you on FaceBook, or both.

Peace, love, simplicity, and Taylor Swift. <3

Bahdahdah.

♫Taste you on my tongue, with your lips to kiss like the red, hot sun. You're one big sugar rush. Suck me in, suck me in, hold me down 'til the very end!♫



Life is good. Yesterday was the Freshmen Dance at my high school. For my very first high school dance, it was really great! I learned what juking (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=juking) is, though not by experience I am proud to say. It's really interesting to me how different the dancing is from grade school to high school. At the dance, people weren't holding back or being awkward or anything like that. It was very cool.



The dance ended badly. A girl either popped her knee out or she broke her leg. People aren't sure. Either way, we were evacuated, there was an ambulance, and we get a free dance next Friday. Lose-win?

As for the educational part of school, I think I'm doing pretty well. I have all As and Bs, which quite lovely. :) I'm trying to balance school, sports, clubs, and a social life, and I'm getting there. For sports, I did volleyball and I am going to try out for bowling. I don't think I am going to do basketball because 1. I really don't want to add another activity to my schedule and 2. I think I'd be playing for my dad and I refuse to do that. If I'm going to do something, it's going to be for me, because this is my life.

I've been to Polish Club and Christian Club meetings, and I missed the first French Club, Key Club, and Cereal Club meetings. I haven't heard anything about the Baking, GSA, and Vegetarian clubs. I am not joining the Polish, French, or Cereal Clubs, but I am definitely doing Christian Club. I don't know about any of the others, but we'll see and I'll let you know.

I am very sleepy. Today, I found out that someone who sits very near me at lunch and who told me to add him on FaceBook is the cousin of someone in my graduating class. What a small world, no? I find it to be absurd that I know that particular person in over 4,000 people.

I think I'm a pretty honest person. I like to keep everything in the open, so there is not confusion as to my morals, likes, dislikes, and life, in general. It feels good to have people really know you. BUT, I want to be completely honest. I don't lie consciously, but I want to make sure I don't do so subconsciously. Plus, I want to be sure that my friends know of any skeletons I have. My skeletons like to hang out on the dance floor, not in a closet. So, I would like to post at least one completely honest thing about myself on FaceBook at least every week. That would make me happy.

I'll talk to y'all in a few days. LaYtAh. ♥

Glorious Day

Hey, readers! Since I last typed to you, I started ye olde high school. It is so awesome! I have tons of friends from volleyball and I'm meeting people in my classes. It's hard to believe that I just finished my first 4 weeks of high school!

Last Monday was Club Day for the Freshmen, where all the clubs set up tables in the cafeteria and you sign up for whatever you're interested in joining. You go to the first meetings and, if you don't like them, you don't ever have to go again. Pretty free, no? Any-who, I signed up for Polish Club, French Club, Cereal Club (yes, it believe it will be as cool as it sounds), Baking Club (I'd say about 1/4 of the Freshies signed up for this one), Vegetarian Club (one day...), GSA, Christian Club and, Key Club. I think I might have forgotten one, but, oh well. I'll continue with this topic later in the post.

Today, as you can tell from the title, was indeed glorious. Yesterday, I left my folder (in which I keep EVERYTHING) in my first period class. I went back to get it right before lunch and a different teacher was there and [older] people were presenting something. I ran in, the teacher gave me a really weird look, looked around for the folder, and ran out, because it wasn't in sight. I freaked out about that all day yesterday, but today was a new day.

When I went to my first period class, there it was, with everything still in it. That started my high. In Algebra, my second period class, we were assigned a mini-project. Whoever does the mini-project the neatest will receive extra-credit points on their next test. Drafting was fun, as always. P.E./Health was good and watched a video that everyone else thought was cheesy, but I loved it. Lunch was fine and I got to meet new people and talk to a new-ish friend. Biology. This class is where one of the high points of my high school career so far happened. So, there's this boy... ;) Anyway, it ended with him putting his arm around my shoulders and my putting my arm around his waist. This happened while he was blindfolded, mind you, but he did it deliberately. In French, we were assigned a family tree project that is going to be so much fun and in World Studies, we took a test. This test wasn't necessarily hard, but I know I got a few points off. Eh, it's a give-and-take.

After school, I went to my very first club meeting of my high school career. It was for Christian Club and it was so fun! I met a lot of people who seems like they would be fun to hang out with. :) My friend's friend, who is also in Christian Club, Polish Club, and the GSA, lives near me, went to a school near me, and takes the same bus and train home as me. On the bus, she and a random girl struck up a conversation and they had so much in common! They sounded like they were really good friends, but they were complete strangers. I love coincidences. >

All days should be as glorious as this. My description may not sound very brilliant, but the natural high I had all day was fabulous.

Yet another blog post all.about.me. Eh, it's my blog, I suppose. I'll have something more worldly next time, which will not be 2 months from now. Sorry 'bout that. Love ya'll.

Peace, love, and simplicity. *hearts*
