GERMANY!!!!!! WALES!!!!!!!!

 GERMANY!!!

WALES!!!!

Well.... Now since i've gone crazy and randomly posted the picture of Wales and Germany.... No, it has a purpose. Because i have finally scored a goal that i'm really and truely proud of. Oh... That reminds me.. My assist goes too...

SPAIN!!!!! (aka Sarah)

Not only did we dominate our recent game against Faribult, i scored a really good goal! (and by dominate, i mean we won 7-0). Which brings us to why i now have three random flags from three random countries that have nothing in common. But they do!! So we played World Cuppie on Monday. And for non soccer players, it's a game in which you pair up with someone, and try to score. And it's hard! But when you do, you scream your country.

Making sense? Sorta? Ok good. So, as you can guess, i was Germany, and my partner was Megan Bos, my bestie neighbor ever(: Rizzo, this cutie freshman, and Kylie, another adorable freshman, were Wales. And yes, when we play this game, there is a lot of debate over what's a country, and what's not. For the love of high school, Sam and Stina, CALI IS NOT A COUNTRY!!!

So back to the game! So Rizzo scored three times. After her first goal, i jokingly told her that she should yell her country. So she did. And hence, the rest of the game was mainly "WALES!!!!" (with the occasional CALI!!!! from Sam on defense). And so when i scored on an assist from Sarah, i turned around and me and megan screamed "GERMANY!!!!!"

We think that screaming random countries helps our soccer game. Maybe... Maybe not.... Skippy's lucky shirt and Stina's lucky bra might've helped.... The world will never know!

And now i write a side note to my mom...... Mama, i don't love Renee more than i love you. I've just been waiting to use a whole entire post in an ode to your hair!! And your singing (: I love you so much mama. Because you buy me chex mix and smarties! Kidding... Sorta. No, it's because you're my mom and you love me the most! And i love you too(:

Silence..... And Reneenayshanaynay!

I love silence. I love it. I live in the boonies(whooooo go living in the town of..... nowhere.) so i'm used to falling asleep with nothing to make noise around me. But it's the most peaceful thing.

On the dance bus, they demand silence at 3 a.m. And, we give it to them, mainly because we are nowhere close enough to wake to talk. But on the soccer bus, don't try to silence us. It ain't happening! We're gonna sing taylor swift at the top of our lungs! (member 7th grade, Cece?)

Adults are so stupid about noise and silence. Why are they not possible of remembering a measly 15 years back, when they were loud teenagers too? So we party. So we get a little loud. Are we bothering you? If the answer is no, BACK OFF! For the love of high school, everyone needs to chill out; about how loud we play our music or how loud we scream.

My favorite silence is the one i have with grace and fallon. i can lay my head on their lap. They can lay their head on my stomach. And we won't talk for hours. Yet, we know just how the other feels. it's friendship in it's truest form. My other favorite silence is the 'renee' silence. I trust Renee. I hope she trusts me.... I'm pretty sure she does because she lets me drive the mini bike and handle lighters(: She's the most awesome survivor I've ever met.... If i ever find the cure for cancer, it's because of her. But we sit in silence, and it's comfortable. We had boundaries.... and by now, we've totally overstepped them! I love and adore her.

so..... Silence and noise... Two totally different things. But we need them both. Silence to sleep. Noise to party. Silence to comfort. Noise to take away the pain. Oh, and noise to annoy the crap out of Jillian.(: I love you mom!

Friendship..... And Grace.

                                             Why does this totally describe my friends?

Hmmmm i have so many quotes and thoughts about friendship that i bet i could blow my computers memory if i saved them all..... But I have one real and true friend, my Grace. who's name, (props to terry and dara) fits her. It's really true! What friends would stick around when i have meltdowns? My friends. But my true friends have a meltdown with me.

Take Megan and Kendell, for instance. What other friends will run around a church with you, at 3 in the morning, sit by you when you're so scared that you might pee your pants at a mosque, be super hyper and random at the mall of america, and sit in a car at 12 at night, begging spencer for some more holister spray because it's the smell of heaven? Only my 'neighbors', i'll tell you that.

Or my dance team friends. Who have your back whenever you fall. Dance is a unique sport because you and your team are one. No one can be the star. No one can be the weakest link. You have to stand by them, equally, because thats what this team is about. We bond over a lot of things, but it's the bus rides at 4 in the morning, the long days of sitting in a classroom, yelling insults and cheers at the tv where someone is dancing, and the moment when you all collide on that floor that turn you from teammates and friends to sisters.

Or my soccer team, who bond despite having a loopy coach. No, Skippy, not you. Yes B-Hill, you! We go through sweat, blood, and tears. And that's one of the strongest friendships anyone can offer.

Friendship is the journey two people take. How you can start just playing soccer together, and wind up one night at 2 in the morning, crying and spilling every single problem out. that's friendship. They have your back. They get it. They can see you smiling and say, oh, she's unhappy because she got a bad grade. Friends come and go, best friends sit their butt down on your couch and ask what's for supper. They sit up with you and let you spill every problem you have. They creep facebook with you and learn how to properly 'creep'. (fallon, i'm free this saturday. Drive by?) They don't care about rumors, they care about you.

Last note on friendship- you can have guy or girl friends. Dear Red Head Kid in the Pink Shorts, you are my buddy! Forever! Casey and i have a friendship, just slightly different than everyone elses...... :) And i have an awkward, yet sweet friendship with Elijah Mark. And an awesome one with Sharon! And my friendship with Marcus, which is more like him sending me mean texts and me making him take me to concerts. (SKILLET!!!!!) But they are my friends and i would give anything for them.

Oh, for the love of high school, i love my friends.

Oh, Minnesota.... Did you take your pills?

Now, i take a vow to never be one of those people who sits and rants about the weather, but i think this one time, it's OK! Because, I LIVE IN MINNESOTA, STATE OF BIPOLAR-NESS! Today, i was at soccer, begging Skippy, (my coach, who shall have no dignity due to his nickname) for a drink because it is a whooping 90 degrees. Yet, just yesterday, the Jensen household was buzzing like a kicked beehive due to my sister Ahnika almost losing my mother's favorite mittens. (Thankfully, to the relief of my ears, they were found). So what gives? For the love of high school, Minnesota, MAKE UP YOUR MIND! I love summer, don't get me wrong, but i really love fall. So someone order my dear Minnesota some pills, and lets change seasons already.

hmmmmmm now for some deep thoughts..... Ever missed someone that you really don't know? Is that normal? I don't know about anyone else, but..... for me, it is. Because i miss Adam. Not in that way, but because he is such an amazing guy. You know, the guy you just sit by, and let him listen to your problems, because he gets it. he gets it. I'm in love with Casey, don't get me wrong. But Adam was, for like four days, the perfect older brother. So, Dear Adam- Finish up collage. don't date crazy girls. Come home and start giving me advice!

I'm obsessed with tattoos. i have an addiction. please call rehab. because the moment i turn 18, I'm going to be shelling out the big money. i blame you, Renee Marcus and Casey! you 3 and your awesome tattoos have made me develop an obsession. because i have a hopeless tattoo addiction. Case in point-

                                                        Kinda the most amazing tattoo ever.

This shall be the end of my rant, about weather and Adam and my tattoo problems. Oh, for the love of high school....

The Starting Point…

Hi… I’m Taylor Elaine. I live Small Town, USA. (No, seriously. My hometown has a population of… fewer than 500.) Most of my time is devoted to dancing my heart out, literally. When you’re done with high kick, it feels like your heart has disappeared. In the fall, you can find me on a soccer field… My sports are my life, so don’t you dare say that they suck. Otherwise, I’m with Casey, my boyfriend of 11 and ½ months. And still counting (:   And if I’m not with him, I’ll be at my second home, with Grace!

My blog is a way for me to write about my life and to be able to look back and see how I’ve changed and grown. I’ll be writing about my sports, my family, my friends, and my lovely boyfriend. Oh, and whatever Worth says I have to do! So, I introduce to you…. For the love of high school!!
