Respect...

Respect. Yay... What an exciting thing to blog about.

You know it's just going to end up being some random thing about how us young whippersnappers are rude and disrespectful.

Grandpa Eddie, I'm looking at you for this one.

And actually, I like being disrespectful. Not to nice, innocent adults. But to the bratty old ones who are crabby.

Lady who rear ended me, than left.... Looking at you!!!

So yeah. Respect your elders. They are old and wise and wrinkly. Yada yada yada. But can't an old did learn new tricks? Can't young people be wise too?

Yet, where's our respect? Does it cone in the form of disaproving old farts who naturally assume that if I'm fifteen with twins boys on my hips, that I'm a mother? Do they not stop to pause, question that I'm an innocent babysitter?

Adults ramble on about how teenagers have no respect. Maybe they should take a taste of what they're dishing out.

If you don't respect me, I don't respect you. Simple as that.

Why blog?

I have no idea.

Seriously. None at all. Mainly because...

1) Mr. Worth says so.

2) My grade depends on it so...

3) My mommy says so.

4) It's surprisingly fun.

5) It allows me to express my emotions and no one sees it.

And mainly, because Mr. Worth says so!!

Some people do it because they have too. (me!)

And some do it because they're honestly good at it and enjoy it.

Point is..... Why do you blog??

i am hai... Or Oliza?

so i just finished this series I've been reading since 6th grade last night. it's amazing. It started with hawksong in sixth grade, snakecharm in seventh, falcondance in eighth, wolfcry in ninth, and finally, wyvernhail in tenth. You could say these books brought me up through the awkward beginning teenage years. And they have. I loved the idea of living in this world where the princess Danica could escape into the sky as a golden hawk, where her enemy was a scary and mysterious prince from the land that her people had warred with for a thousand years. Zane, who can disappear as a snake. Of course, they find love in an achingly sweet tale.

For awhile, i thought i was Danica, quiet, reserved, and graceful. But i was always Irene, rash and loud and flirty and headstrong.

But now, these days, i feel more and more like Hai, the half blood falcon-cobra child. Unable to control the magic she weaves. She can see into the future, with her sakkri, a dance. She was to walk a deadly, careful line between ice and fire. She tries to save the place where she lives, and Zane and Danica's child, Oliza.

I'm dancing on a deadly thin line. Between my parents. Between the boys. Between crashing and burning.

I wish i lived in the hills and valleys of Wyvern Court. But would i be a snake, hidden and hooded in the shadows? My personality is very much that of the serpiente.

But my ache to fly and get away and be free and soaring is so much more avian.

Perhaps i'm Oliza, for she too walks a thin line above a vast cannon.

I am both, I am one. Am I a wyvern, a dragon?

Oh, and three more words that made my jaw hit the floor.

"I'm getting married."

Good luck to you, little strawberry. I hope you two find more love than i could with mine.

"Taylor Elaine Jensen!"

I miss you, mama bunny. What i wouldn't give to come back to your arms...

Those 3 words....

It's funny, how words have the power to make or break you. How 3 simple words can throw your life into uproar...

"He's being deported."

That scared me. That made my cry. But even as that day gets closer and I get more worried, I know that those words don't hold power over me anymore.

"I love you."

People say this all the time. And yet not enough. It's scary, the thought of putting your heart in someone else's hands. These words give them power.

"I trust you."

For me, this is harder than I love you. I can I love you jokingly. I don't have to mean it. But trust... Knowing someone has your back through thick and thin... That gives them more power than anything else.

And lately, the scariest words I've ever heard,

"Open heart surgery."

Can I go have my panic attack Now? Jeez kid, at least you know how to surprise me! Uff baby bug:) at least I get to go with!!

Finally, the 3 words ever....

DANCE STATE TOMORROW!!!!!

Whoo!!!!

The cutest boy I've ever seen!

So I went up to the U of M yesterday to watch my sissy poo and the rest of my babies swim. And they all did great! And I'm very proud :) but there was this little adorable boy, no older than five years old, standing on the high dive looking down. He was so scared his knees were literally shaking. He was so cute- he stood there looking down for almost five minutes, so scared. You could see his little five year old brain weighing the pros and cons of jumping off this high dive. And pretty soon the whole pool is watching him.
And he jumped.
And the whole places just starts cheering and clapping.

That's the story of the cutest boy I've ever seen.

You make me smile.....

Funny thing, karma. It's weird. You make the universe mad, and it responds with karma. What goes around comes around. When I was little my mom would tell me to always do the right thing, because one bad deed would come around and bite me in the butt. She's really wise in that way I guess. I learned that lesson. But what rocks is watching karma come around to bite someone else. But I'm not dwelling. Lesson learned, love lost, trust shattered. But it's slowly coming back. I've let go. In fact, I've fallen in love with the idea of being single. All i miss are kisses. But, if I have my way, I won't have to worry for long.

He makes me smile when all I want to do is cry.

I am so lonely..... I have nobody.... To call my own!

How long ago was that?! 3, 4 years? Way too long...

I'm not one to get lonely actually. I'm fine with being alone, and also being thrown into a crowd. Doesn't bother me.

I love people. I love being surrounded by all these people and colors. When everyone is yelling and laughing and fighting. When I can't hear myself think straight.

But I also love being alone. Peace and solitude. Where my thoughts are my own.

I've never been truely lonely; where I haven't had anyone. I have a huge family(and they are willing to bail me out whenever; thank you aunt Judi!) so ive always had someone to catch my back.

Friendship is.......

Randomly walking around Walmart looking for lotion.
Being totally right when guessing on car spaces.
Calling Sky and making him give us directions to the textile factory.
Listening to rock music 24/7.
Running around Jo-Ann's fabric wildly.
Making the Wendy's girl think we're awkward sisters.
Watching crazy smoking lady drivein circles.
Getting stuck in the car.
Sitting in the Walmart parking lot, listeningto Rob Zombie.
Spontaneously piercing your ears. Why? Because you can!
Being together for seven hours and not getting sick of each other.
Having EPIC moments together.
Being really excited about records.
Having the same color rooms.
Driving like manics.
Having road rage against old people.
Jumping off of the roof of the van than screaming really loudly.
Yelling and pointing dramaticly.
Being trusted!
Here's to us, dance buddy. Many more?:)
