11:35 am - You have to cross the bridge before you get to the other side.
YEA... So i went and picked up my pictures from Walmart (finally). I was disappointed. The flash was way too bright and i look completely icky. But thats ok. I have the pictures, I might as well have fun with them. My sprained ankle is doing much better. I started walking on it, but I still have to have the brace on it. I have swim practice too, so im just about the slowest swimmer on the team because I cannot kick at all. I have a swim meet this friday (EG Pavilion! 5pm), so I have to sit out of gym this whole week and excersise it in the training room. Also, this Saturday and Sunday, I am taking lifeguarding lessons from 9 am to 5 pm. Talk about long! So yea, instead of seeing you all, i will be kissing a manican. What a trade! I got my quarter grades. Pretty good I must say. I have three A's, three B's, and one D. The D is in science, my most hated subject. The teacher doesnt help much either. He knows a lot about the subject, I'll give him that. He does not teach it well though. He gives soo many analogies(sp?) about what we are learning that we get off topic and our notes are three words long: Notes Chapter __. It gets me really agrivated because I am one who depends on notes. I love taking notes because usually the book does not write in a way that I would understand. Plus, I am a victim of ADD sadly. Today Coach Christine did not show up for work today, so I was told that I had to think of a workout. I am only an assistant coach, and I am not experienced enough to think of something off the top of my head. So all I did was make the kids swim freestyle and kick with the kickboards all hour long. Sure, I taught them some technique along the way, but I felt so useless! I learned that I cannot work for more than one hour. According to stupid Child Labor laws, school + work = 8 hours. Yea, that works out fine, just dandy. Especially since school is freakin 7 hours long! So now I can only work one hour a day, two on thursdays (late arrival). By the way, I totally love the Remember the Time posts in myspace. So funny! I actually went through all 166 posts and had a good evening. My family all just looked at me though because I was just laughing uncontrollably by myself. I really need to watch some movies. Have I mentioned that I really want to see Flightplan? If not, now you know. I have absolutely no time to see it. Really agrivating. The only movies I have watched lately are Fred Astaire ones. Really great dancer and actor. My sister Natalie and my mom are reading the biographies of all those famous old-time actors and actresses. I don't see how they have the time for all this. They must be hiding something from me... Welp, this is a long entry. Nothing more to be said. Actually, I lied, there is tons more, but thats all for tonight. Sleep tight babes!

02:09 pm - I traveled the world and the seven seas, everybody's looking for something.
Hey chicos!
Sorry i havent written in here for a long time. I seem to be using myspace more than this.
Ive been real busy with swimming. I got a new job too! Im a coach for the park district swim team. I coach the youngest group because the previous coach wanted to move up to an older group.
I have bad news too. I cannot join the gymnastics team. I wanted to sooo soo badly. I have to work from 430 to 7 though, and practice is 330 to 6 for gymnastics :(:(:( yea im soo bummed out.
On November 1st, there is an athletic awards ceremony. I will get a VARSITY letter! Also a certificate of participation and i hope, Best Cheerleader award. I got it last year, and i think i totally kept up my rep.
School has been good. Im trying to keep up my grades. im going for straight As. So far, i think i have 3 As and the rest Bs. this is gona be hard, but ihave until about the middle of January to get them perfect.
Went shopping yesterday, got some new clothes. pretty fantastic if you ask me. I still have to develop my pictures. Today i am going to walmart and putting the flims in. I will get homecoming and camp pictures done first. I cant wait for those.
Well, thats all i can think of for now. Ill try to keep this updated. Muah!

10:24 pm - Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.
Hello my darlings
Nothing much happening, except that my heart is bouncing with joy from seeing everyone (finally after 3 weeks) since camp. I missed everyone so dearly. I saw some people on sunday, so that was dandy.
Unfortunately I did not get to chat with a few people i really wanted to, so now theres an empty space in me, but that might be just because im too emotional in some areas.
Well thats all I have to say, Michelle you OWE me (tee hee hee)!!

11:04 pm - The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed.
Wow alot happened to me since the last entry, so I'll try to squeeze things in with as little words as possible.
Camp...now theres a lot to talk about! Camp was AMAZING, as were my roomies Michelle, Becky, Lauren, Kristin, Christy (sp?), Tracy, Bianca, and my lilly sis. Food was ok, acceptable. I got hungry though and spent ALL my spending money on food. I took a lot of pics so when i get the chance, ill add them in here. I lost the film rolls, so its going to be a while. I am so so bummed out that i did, though. I cannot wait any longer for them to develop. B had two of the cameras (disposable) so she already developed her share. I wont get them till after this weekend. I miss camp a lot because i got so used to seeing everyone every day. Now i miss everyone there :(
I didnt make it to Tracy's house for the party. My mom felt bad and couldnt drive me. Thanks for the offer Becky, but as soon as we hung up, i looked at the clock and saw that it wasnt a possibility to still get there, so i just went to bed. Thanks for trying!
OH NO! i have still one week left of swimming! Only now its only in the morning. I seriously think that my sister and I are the only ones that are going to show up for that practice. I just hate to know that I have not missed a single day of practice (except during canp) and i only got a little better than last season (went from a 37 to a 32 on 50 free). I think i have to try harder...
This weekend I am going to Jellystone park...YOGI BEAR!! I am going with Erika and her family. I have never been there so im excited. Its about time i go on vacation. Two camping trips in two weeks. im pretty happy now. I just have to try to squeeze some extra spending money from my parents cause im totally broke...i dont even have any more film for my camera. now im bummed out...
I watched a couple more movies (surprise?). They're not new movies though. I watched I-SPY and Friday Night Lights. I-Spy was ok. I didnt like that one white dude's acting. It started out ok, and was at parts, but other times it was cheezy. The movie overall was confusing, but in a good way. Kept me holding on to find out the rest. Friday Night Lights was REALLY good. I love football movies like that. I was drowning in a pool of tears by the end of the movie though. It was one of those movies that had the disappointing ending. I expected them to win, but not only did they lose, they carried out in different careers, also. I completely thought that some of them would make it to, like, college football, but they didnt. So sad. It was like Perfect Storm and Armeggedon, where the good guys lose. I hate movies like that, and yet i love to watch them.
Yawning alot so ill bounce off to bed. Nite kiddos!

Alright all you sexxy people (and those less fortunate)! This weekend I am going off to camp!! That means I wont have to talk to you suckers for almost a whole week (i also have the meet right after camp)! Life is good. I get a break from swimming and my house. It kind of gets boring after a while, doing the same routine day after day. But not anymore! Ok I'm getting too excited. Watch, I will go to camp and NOTHING will work, everything will be ruined at my touch! hehe... I JUST WATCHED WAR OF THE WORLDS!!! Finally! I was getting so restless! I went to see it with Marie, and it was soo scary! I usually see movies like this with a guy because I feel more comfortable, safer, for some reason...Anyways, Marie and I were holding on to dear life because we were scared out of our guts! I was shaking the whole entire time, some parts I couldnt watch. Over all, I thought it was a great movie, although there was this one very unusual part, where I cannot understand how the script writers didnt catch on to. In the beginning, the narrator says that aliens were envious of the human world on earth. Later on in the movie, it said that the aliens have had their ships and stuff buried underground for years and years before there was man on earth. The thing that gets me, is how could aliens plan this attack built with envy and plots of revenge, if man didnt exist when they first started??? Anyone else who saw this movie, please explain! Today was awesome at swimming. It was Bring a Friend To Swim Day, and a lot, lot of people brought friends to swim. We did warm up and swam a couple laps when Coach Joey was there. We also did some relays and played Sharks and Minnows. Poor Steven got kicked in the next, and I jabbed Bryan in the neck with my elbow when we started. A lot of people got hurt, but not badly, we still played. When Coach Joey left, we played Boys vs. Girls in water polo. It was hilarious, only because no one followed the rules. It was the funnest time Ive had in swimming since I started 2 years ago. Well that is all I will write now, because I am getting tired (it is 12:59 on my microwave). Good nite babes.

Wow ive been listening to rock and punk rock music a lot lately. Some songs are old, some are even from the eighties, but others, like the paparoach one, are preddy recent. I still cant get over the Killers song Mr. Brightside, it still didnt get old for me.
I cannot wait for Sr. High camp. I only went to camp once for a week and that was when i was like in sixth or fifth grade. I went shopping today for shorts cause i didnt own a single pair. Im not a big fan of wearing shorts. Skirts i can deal with, not shorts. I still need to find out if Kim can take me to the Sr High camp and back...if not then i cannot go...
I am sooo anxious to see Dark Water, War of the Worlds, The Woods, Sky High, and serenity.
More later...being kicked off.

07:58 pm - Expect nothing, and you will never be bored.
Soo..
Right now I am babysitting. Abi, the girl I'm babysitting, fell asleep on me while I was typing on aim. I am so tired today, probably cause of the weather change...It's killing me! I had to make three trips to the park cause Abi didn't want to leave. Two of her friends were there and she was running around like crazy, the same thing my head was doing. I didn't know what to do, so I told them that there was a contest of who can find the most leaves. Whoever won got this little toy car I found by the swing set. It kept them soo busy, I regret making them do it. Now she's sleeping soundly on her huge bed. She is like 10 times smaller than it. I am staying the night here because she convinced her mom to make me stay. I used to love sleeping over and watching her, but that was a while ago. Now, theres like nothing to do. Tomorrow, we are going to the water park though. That should liven things up a bit.
I dont know why I am constantly changing the color of the text. I bet it's another bored symptom.
I have to swim the mile at a swim conference (66 laps, if anyone is interested). I really want to do this, partly because I have never swam the mile before, and partly because I already told the coach that I would do it (that means I have, have to do it). I have been working out really hard in practice lately, cause I really want to kill my best times. On Friday, no one was at practice because most of the team was at the Quincy ISI. It didn't suck at all, because the only person from Lane 6 that didn't go was Yuki. I was swimming really hard because I did not want the only other person in my lane to pass me up. Now if it was Andy or AJ or Sarah swimming with me, being lapped maybe once wouldn't be that bad, because they are like missles in the water. I hate swimming with missles in the water...no explanation needed. Bianca and Erika came to my last meet. It was ok. I was in an extremely hyper mood, I just wouldn't shut up. I did well swimming, I beat all my times. Everyone else did very good, too! Erika stayed only for a little while because her uncle needed to drive her home early. She got to see me swim though, finally. I cannot wait until conference. Hopefully my hard work pays off...
I need to be home early on the 21st from the camp. Frontline people, if your reading this, let me know if you know anyone coming back early. Kim is talking to PJ already and seeing if she can drive up there with me and come back early. There are no guarantees yet, so I am dying of the suspense because I cannot go to camp if I do not have a ride. I don't know exactly what it is, but I LOVE swim meets and it just tortures me to think about missing one. I take the swim seriously, I really hate not beating my time. I need a back up plan in case Kim cannot, so let me know!
There is this 6 Flags trip with my swim team again. I cannot wait, because this time there is Hurricane Harbor waiting for me! I hope that this time someone will actually go. I definately will find someone to go with me, even if I hate the person. I went to Great America once, and I fell in love with Raging Bull. I completely love the thrill of that ride. The only ride I dont like is American Eagle, or Flight, or something like that. It feels as if the ride is about to fall apart because of the old wood and screeching of the tires on the tracks. I did not make it on all the rides, so there is another motivation pulling me closer to the park. I need to ride the rest of them!!
I learned sign language! Well, the learning part is still in progress, but I can keep a pretty decent conversation with someone. I am learning from Coach Rhonda and Kristi. Kristi cannot hear, but she can lip read. I am trying to learn sign language so that I won't have to extend my mouth to make out words for her to see (I tend to mumble...). We are both having fun with it. I know the alphabet, numbers, and words like today, tomorrow, nice, mom, fast, mean, witch, and things like that.
I watched Fantastic Four on Friday with Kristi, Karoline, Michael, Niki, and Coach Christine (she's an olympic swimmer, just to put things out there). It was a really good movie, one you couldn't just walk away to get a refill of popcorn. The only thing wrong with it was that the action scenes were very short. Most of the film concentrated on how the four got their powers and their plans to get rid of it or discover how they worked. A lot of the parts were really funny. The action scene with the bad guy were shockingly short. They pretty much just beat him by heating him up with the flamer dude and cooling him off with the fire hydrant. You'd really expect more, but there wasn't. The next movie I want to see is War of the Worlds. I have been talking about that movie a lot, and I still didn't see it. I really want to see Dakota Fanning act again, it will bring back memories of Hide and Seek, a GREAT thriller. After that, this summer there is going to be a movie called Sky High, and it looks pretty darn cool, too. I have to work on my money making methods. They aren't working out very well. I have to find some neighbors who need help with lawn work or car washing. I really hate to do things around the house, but it looks like i will have to start doing that because I still have to pay off my cell phone and get that back, and I have to get 32 dollars for the 6 Flags trip. Life...Ugh... :)...
Stay tuned for more late action in Maggie's world...
