u know who i like!?

This, my friends, is weird. I love fun conversations, but I draw a thick line on where you shouldn't go with a conversation. It saves the awkwardness for me and ultimately yourself. Sure, it would be nice (on some level) to know who you like, but going straight for it right from the start is a little tense! You can't just jump outta the box like that. That's, in some way, like if a mother gave birth to a child and the kid comes out like "awww yeah! fresh air hey doc cut this.. cut this.. ALRIGHT i'm ready for school." YOU WOULD NOT LIKE THAT WOULD YOU!? You gotta ease the question into the conversation. You gotta slyly INFUSE it into the text. Just like raising a kid. You don't want him to act the age of a teenager at birth! You want to accept the journey that is parenting and enjoy going through that journey! But this doesn't mean that you should make me run laps around the anxiety pool trying to figure out who you like. Just throw it out there when we've explored into that subject and you're comfortable enough to tell me, if I want to know. Most of the time I will if we spent an endless hour talking about it. Sometimes, all you need is someone to talk to. It'll lift some weight off of your shoulders.

Life's a lot like facebook conversations. You have to be careful.

Yeah I thought of that. Don't quote me (yet) though because I don't know if it makes sense yet either :)

P.S.

anonymous didn't tell me who this person likes. I guessed it. One shot. 10 points to Josh.

Monday Madness

This was posted by me this morning at 8:15 am on facebook. I think my wish has been granted.

Reasons why this Monday rocked:

I finished my science test. (I know. How dare I incorporate school in this awesome Monday-related post. I need to get the nerdy stuff out of the way.)

I snuck into a classroom and was unknowingly involved in a student government meeting even though I am not in the S.G. and I mentioned one thing and it got put into consideration almost immediately. All while I was supposed to be doing my science test.

Dish network (TV service) gave us 2 passes so we can watch any 2 movies for free on pay-per-view.

I found an awesome telescope (Now i have to bribe mom into letting me order it right now and not have to wait for Christmas to get it. 76 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS!)

Weezer came back into my life.

I held down a very loud and whiny dog while Morgan pulled porkypine (check spelling) quills out of its face... wait...

This girl said she loves me.

I reached 99 notifications on facebook...

Thanks to Rylee and Madison. For that last one.

So this all rocked, but the last one was the best. Only because I love getting notifications from those two, and I got 99 of them. It was amazing. And I didn't even finish reading them all.

The "Liking and commenting everything i posted" fest consisted of.. You guessed it. Liking and commenting all of my pictures and posts. But it was legit. Definitely. Well worth waking up to a phone that has been set up to make the same lousy noise TWICE for every time someone gives me a single notification on facebook. I got to hear my phone go crazy for about 20 minutes straight. Even the feeling of having everyone in my grams (grandmas) house stare at me in jealousy as I clumsily got my things together because they never recieved so many text messages so rapidly in their entire lifetime. (Note: I was clumsy because I just woke up from a nap and thought somebody hacked my facebook and made someone mad while they were disguised as my virtual self, while I was sleeping. I was on edge.) I could just read their faces.

"I wish I was that popular...."

But nope. Madison and Rylee decided to help me cross out another thing from my bucket list. They are, what you normal people would call, the Best Girls Ever. Besides my mom. And my grandma. And my other grandma.

My Monday was awesome.

I hope I passed on my science test :)

Telescope

For the longest time, maybe since June, I've wanted to buy one thing and one thing only with my fishing pay. But my fishing pay was abnormally quickly spent, so I've been waiting for my PFD (Permanent Fund Dividend. Free money for Alaskans. Kindof) to get it. And I've been waiting a long time.

A telescope.

One moonlit night on the boat when I was fishing with my uncle John in Pilot Point overseas, I woke up and went outside to the deck to grab something to drink. Then I noticed when I was on the flying bridge (top of the boat.) that the moon was literally the only thing in the sky. No clouds. No stars. (at least i didn't think so.. I was tired. Fishing is not for the weak :D) And it lit up the whole world it seemed like. I thought one thing. I want a telescope. I remember trying one out at one point in my life, but that memory is a little to vague for me to explain. And I didn't have one on the boat that night. And using binoculars just wasn't the same. I don't even think it was good for my eyes...

But yes. A telescope. I want to look at the moon which seems like its been teasing me with its awesomeness at night. I swear its never shown itself like it has during the past week in so long. In Port Heiden anyways. And when I look up at the moon, I think of the movie Apollo 18. Mainly because (IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE AND WANT TO, DON'T READ THE REST OF THIS PARAGRAPH FOR THIS IS ABOUT TO BECOME A SPOILER MARATHON! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!) In Apollo 18, which is supposed to be actual footage from when Lance Armstrong or some other Armstrong went to the moon, they all are left for dead on the moon. And the bodies are still there, if the aliens (the rocks on the moon are aliens...) never dragged the bodies into the craters. I don't want to stare at dead bodies. Gross. I want to see if I can spot a moving rock or something. And to do this, I'd need a freakin' awesome telescope.

I also want to look at the stars and stuff. Peter says he'll stare at the sun...... (sigh)

And my journey in searching for the perfect telescope begins...

Tonight.
