Ike Yikes!

September 11th.

Least we forget.

They played a bunch of memorials and stuff that was so sad they made the rest of us depressed that we survived.

But non-the-less, it was definately one of the most signifigant moments in history.

Some historians say it lasted 106 minutes.

Yesterday was my sister's birthday. 7 years ago on this day we got the news of "My fellow Americans--there was an attack on our nation this morning." It just was ironic that it was on 911. Erriieeee!

Today is also a friend of mine's daughters 1st birthday. Kinda cute.. but sad, considering what day it is.

In the midst of all of this though, the people of Texas have almost forgotten the date, well at least the people close to the Gulf--stupid hurricane. Destorying everything.

My town is under curfew. Can you believe that? some people wanted some ice cream..

We decided not to evacuate. We didn't evacuate for Rita a few years ago. Stupid I guess. I was acutally outside when it hit. Took some pictures too I believe.

I don't know though, I heard this one is supposed to be REALLY bad. IF I die, whoever reads this knows what was on my mind last.

Trapped--we aren't allowed to engage in any activities. All I have is the tv and what's left of my sanity. Not much under the circumstances.

Watched "V for Vendetta" yesterday, then slept for 10 hours. It was good, just too much for me to take in.

All the schools are closed and evacuated. Imagine that, all the teachers gave us homework.

The church is boarded up. The preacher and his wife left waay earlier this week. They were prepared. I guess no church this Sunday.

Planning to go to Costa Rica in June. Pretty expensive although it's going to be worth it I hear. $2,210 dollars? It better be.

I need a job. NO openings though. Hmm, I guess I'm not trying hard enough.

I wasss planning to go to the beach on Saturday but guess I can't now because of the Hurricannee.. Jeez Ike.

Life-Support

I'm alive!

It's a miracle!

Last week is over, and my face is clearing up. Haha.

But in sad news, keep "Nikki" in your prayers; she is a woman that goes to our church, and she is on acutal life support, and they are going to take her off tomorrow morning. Hopefully she will be alright. She has been struggling at a chance for life for over 10 years. I believe.

She has some extreme case of rare... uhh something. Either way it's bad, and she's dying as you read this.

Did someone say "SCHLITTERBAHN?"

Yes yes, I went again! That was sunday, but I have to admit that the one in Galveston is SO MUCH BETTER than the acutal one in New Braunfels. Seriously, it might be bigger there, but at least Galveston's rides are FUN.

I almost died on one! JEEBUS!

At first it was fun going down a giant water slide 30 m/ph, but then it started getting faster, and I almost flipped off the edge, and then I turned over, and that's so dangerous, because you land in water, and you don't want to be face down, and then I started freaking out because A. You can't stop, and B. I was flying outta control. Then amazingly I got myself turned around in time to land.. and I sooo landed in the water like a stuffed doll.

To finish it off, I inhaled about a gallon of water.

Yuck.

But my friend Alyssa and I had a nice chat in the pool. We found one. It was good.

Some weirdo kids playing with waterguns and then shot me in the eye...

But other than that, it was good.

Monday, I forced myself to stay home and just.. TAKE IT EASAAAY. Seriously, last week was so crazy. I slept for almost 12 hours on Monday, and it felt goooooood.

I am dying for summer to be here.

WOO SUMMER! [That's "WOO" not "WHOO" Pastel. Got it?]

Gymnastics tonight was bad. I was doing good 2 nights in a row, and then here comes tonight. I sucked baad. Stupid stupid. I mean, I got harped at by my coach for landing on my head!

I had to take some retarded mouse exam today. No worries though, I passed, and I get a certificate that certifies that I know what's what with Microsoft Office 4.0.

Smothering

The tension with the family is at it's climax. There is abosultely NO way I can make it to the reunion, or even see them before I leave on Saturday or before they leave on Sunday.

Concert tonight. It's gonna suck, I can feel it.

We are still preparing for State Solo and Ensemble on Saturday.
