I'm a senior in High School.
I'm in The Band.
I play the flute.
I'm a writer.
Yall don't know much else about me, now do you?
Well, I've learned so much about all of yall over the past few months, I just thought I would fill you in...
When I grow up, I want to be a Marine Biologist. I want to be the girl that rides Shamu in the Sea World Show, be the girl who blows the whistle and the dolphins jump through that hoop.
I want to go to A&M Galveston. I sent in my application, but that was two or three weeks ago and they haven't even recognised it yet... I'm starting to get scared...
I graduate in May, over the summer, me and some of my girl friends want to go on a road trip, maybe to Colorado, possibly Cali, we're not sure yet, but I have a feeling that we're gonna spend the whole summer planning the trip and we wont ever actually get around to going.
I'm a Lifeguard, I love being in the water. Last summer a little girl jumped off of the diving board and pretty soon she couldn't make it to the side. I jumped in and saved her. Her dad yelled at her. Parents yell when they get worried.
I like Coke. Weather it be a Pepsi, Coca Cola, RC Cola, Dublin Dr. Pepper (only real sugar *yumm*), Mountain Dew, any of the above, twist of Cherry/Vanilla Flavoring.
I like going swimming at midnight with a bunch of friends, it's dark and it's just us, no one can come into our little world, unless of coarse we get too loud, then the nice police man comes and tells us we should "Skee-daddle"
I like wearing my hair in pig tails, braided, like little girls and Ellie Mae.
I have green eyes. I like to say they look like McDonald's pickles, other times they look yellowish on the inside, turn brilliant emerald green, light blue, and by the time you get to the outside of the colorful part, there is a ring of forest green there.
My pupils are HUGE
My favorite stone is a Sapphire.
My mom says I wear too much eyeliner, my friends tell me I don't wear enough
I'm a band nerd, I love band, it's an awesome experience, but I'm terribly afraid that that wonderful portion of my life is over. I'm gonna miss it. A lot.
There isn't a band at A&M Galveston, the only sports we have are rowing and crew (sailboat racing)
My dad wants to find me a prom date out of a catalog, he thinks I can't find my own date...
I don't even want to go to prom...
I'm terrified of needles. They freak me out. Even more than Cockroaches.
*shudder*
Did I ever tell you about the time my U.S. History teacher threw a live cockroach on me, I screamed bloody murder so loud that a few teachers from other class rooms came to see what happened and I sat in the fetal position for about 20 minutes crying? Well now I did.
I've been messing up a lot lately, I'm sorry Daddy, Momma, I'm 18, I feel like I need to spread my wings a little bit before I leave so that when I crash and burn, I can just come back home and lick my wounds. If I don't do it now, I'll do it when I leave, and then I'll be about 500 miles away (I think?... how far is it from "Funky Town" Ft. Worth to Galveston?). I don't want to crash and not be able to pick up the pieces... I still need you guys!
Just a few things about me, why I do certain things, and what lies in my future.
Cross my fingers X X close my eyes >_< and make a wish
I'm almost a grown up...

This is Twister, my dog, the day I got him.
Straight from the desk of a freshman in college. These are my ponderings, my important events, my poetry. Please enjoy responsibly.

Quotes
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
that this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
- Pablo Neruda

Yeah, baby, I'm almost grown up too! You hurry as fast as you want to...It'll still be there for you for a long time....and i will to, for what its worth. Luv ya Babe!
You know a lot about yourself already but you're about to find out a whole lot more really neat stuff! I don't think you'll crash and burn...but it is nice to know that you have a soft place to fall in your parents.
I hope you get involved in rowing or sailing....maybe you'll like it as much as Band and it'll give you skills/fitness you can use for a lifetime. Do they have cheerleading? I never tried out in University because I was to big and tall but I did love it in high school.
That story of your teacher throwing the cockroach is so weird..why would he do that? Crazy.
I hope you never become diabetic if you're afraid of needles! I do 6 a day plus 6 finger pricks a day to test my blood sugar!
I hope you get to go on a trip with your friends! You'll still talk about it when you're 50!
Good luck wherever you go and I hope you'll keep us updated at this blog!
What a cruel, horrible thing to do, to chuck that cockroach - nasty, mean teacher shouldn't be allowed!!
It was good to read all these things about you, Waterbaby, and good to know why you chose your name too!
Congratulations on getting into your chosen place of study - and marine biologist? Wow, there was a point I wanted to do this too... to study plankton and diatoms, amonst other things. I also wanted to study microbiology and pathology, and find a cure for some world disease. Unfortunately, I found I didn't like the animal dissections in the earlier part of the course, and gave up before finding out that I could refuse to do them on the grounds of belief. You learn.
As MOI says, you will discover a lot more about yourself, and will have ups and downs, but it's also a time to present yourself to the world in the way you want them to see you. If there's any part of your personality you want to emphasise, you can do it. If there's anything about you you're not so keen on, you can change it. Because of the transition to a place no-one knows you, it's a time you can develop yourself in a way that's difficult at home.
But the good thing is that you've had such a good start, with two parents that love you, and who've been there for you, and will be there for you if you ever need them. That's a wonderful material to sew the tapestry of your future upon!
Good luck, sweetheart - hope you keep your blog up occassionally, and let us know how you're doing!! :-)
Mom- I think im going to try to join the surf team, get them to teach me! I'm pretty sure we don't have any cheerleaders, but we have the Naval ROTC Yeah, she threw it becuase it scared her, it was kind of a reflex thing... lol!
Annelisa- Yeah, I love the disections, I picked Anatomy and Physiology as my elective this year becuase we get to disect a cat at the end of the year, it should be really cool, hopefully we get some babies too!!
Ill be sure to get on every once in a hwile and comment on dad's and post an update, tell yall how Im doing! it will be fun!!
