Yeah I know, weird title right?Don’t worry I’ll explain soon. Last night I saw the creepiest movie ever, Black Christmas. Once I got home I was convinced that someone was going to break in and eat my eyeballs, (its from the movie). So I called Jesse and he came over and stayed until about 4:30 in the morning. We made omelets, listened to some Frank Sinatra, and watched lots of Disney Channel. It was so fun. But this morning definitely was not my cup of tea. I woke up to the demon voice of my sinister little sister. “Keri I’m hungry!Keri, Keri, Keri!!”She is so annoying. Anyways, I had so many chores to do today. But once I finished it was time to go to my cousin Jeremy’s bday supper at Outback. It was fairly pleasant, but I didn’t know most of the people there. After that, I went back to my cousin’s house and hung out with Amy, my younger cousin. We invited some of her friends over to jump on the trampoline. It was so cold and slippery. I probably fell a billion times because I kept asking Amy’s friend Jimmy to double bounce me. Im quite the dare devil on the trampoline. That’s where the title comes in. I kind of went to high and almost fell off the trampoline. Luckily I landed on Amy instead. Poor girl, but she survived. Now I’m home and getting ready to pop some popcorn and watch that good old Boy Meets World. Later, (now humming BMW theme song to self).

Thats right, im now 17 years old, and so freaking happy. To celebrate, Im goin to see Black Christmas (because it’s rated R). Anyways, Christmas was great. All of the family came to my aunt’s for dinner and we opened gifts. I love seeing everyone together and enjoying themselves. It’s a much better feeling than opening presents. But I’m not complaining, my gifts were amazing. Jesse got me a record player with Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, and Beethoven records. I also, got a few posters, lots of makeup and clothes, some new shoes. But now, Christmas is over and life is now slowly drifting back to “normalcy”. Now it’s time to begin all of the wonderful homework my loving teachers gave. Thanks guys!!!

That’s right, only 4 more days until im at that magical age! The big 1 7. Ok so maybe its not magical but its going to be awesome knowing im closer to having total and complete freedom. I don’t know why i care so much, im happy just the way things are now. I don’t need that much freedom anyways. Im always at home, but by choice. I love spending time with my parents and other family members. Its where I feel the most comfortable. Ever since I was little, I never was big on hanging out with kids my own age. They always seemed much more immature than I was. That sounds like I think of myself highly, i don’t. It’s just that I grew up with a parent in college and she would always run home and teach me everything she could think of. She was going to be a teacher. My dad had also just graduated from mcneese when I was about 4. By that time I knew how to read and write and i knew the quadratic equation by heart (not that I knew how to apply it). My favorite thing to do when i was little was to do practice math tests my dad would make up for me. Math was so amazing to me then and still is now. I always loved hanging out with my family because i felt so much older. They would always include me in their conversations whether it be about work, their budget, or gossip about other family members. No matter what it was they would always give me a chance to have some input, I guess they thought it was cute that i wanted to be so grown up. I actually don’t want to be a “grown up” yet, i just enjoy being so included in the “grown up world”.haha,im such a nerd. And this was such a random blog, but o well. I’ll end it with ………………. 4 more days baby!!!

So i recently read a new blogger’s blog (thats sounds funny), and it made me mad.i don’t why, but it did. it sounded so….”why me.” i hate that bs.ive been through some shit in my life. grew up on food stamps, moved 15 times, uncle shot himself, dad manic depressive and almost died of alcohol poisoning, grandparents are potheads, and now my aunt buys most of our family’s needs.While all that may sound like a cry for attention, i call it building blocks. I believe God put obstacles in my way to prove that i can overcome anything, and thats exactly what i can do. i believe all of that has made me a stronger person.And even though i just shared my life’s story through my blog, i definitely didn’t do it to get people to notice or feel sorry for me. i don’t feel sorry for me. im proud of who i am. i know im goin places and no one’s stopping me. i know that im gonna change the world one day, its why God made me.So heres to all the whiners, “shut the f*** up and move on and amount to something.Prove yourself.”

Today was exceptional. Last night Charlotte and my cousin spent the night and we saw Charlotte’s Web, which was amazing. We woke  up this morning, or afternoon i should say, at about 12ish. We had Mcdonalds for lunch and then i had to get ready for my bday party at the house of tomorrow. It took about 2 hrs to straighten my hair, so i was really stressing out!!!!!but i made in time and all of my best friends showed up and i got the greatest gift of all. A very shiny penny from my best friend Kelvin.haha, he’s so mean. Afterwards I hung out with my friend Matt who just got in from LSU for the holidays and we talked and ate popcorn. While it may just seem like any other day, today was the most fun i had in a long time. Thanks everyone!

Today was great. I got to school early to pass out the christmas gifts that i bought for my friends and i got some in return. They were all very nice. Then in Eng. i was on a roll. I helped fix a bunch of thesis statements (pats self on the back). I then proceeded to make an A on my chemistry test and a 100 on my spanish test. YAY! After school, me and jesse hung out. We went to his trailer first to just chillax, then he took me to Casa Ole a.k.a Heaven On Earth, then we went to Bed Bath and Beyond to purchase christmas gifts for mi familia. i love spanish. But now im here, typing away. Tomorrow should be fun. Im hangin out with sam after school. Smoothies here we come! That’s all folks!

You know what i realized today? I realized that life is full of surprises. Seems like thats pretty obvious, but I dont know. Feels like im just noticing it. I love surprises. For example, I was freaking out about an algebra test, but when i got it, i was so surprised at how easy it was. Then i went to sam’s house to do eng. hw. SURPRISE. Today, i realized who my real friends were.These past two days are just non stop surprises. I can’t wait to see whats in my future. Wait, nevermind, i  wanna wait, i wanna be surprised. wow, im a dork. Oh and mrs. a, if u readin this sorry bout the terrible punctuation, grammar, and spelling. My bad!:)

What makes a person fall in love? Why can you never actually pin point the things u fell in love with?Why does a person become so important that they deserve all your attention? Why is breaking up so hard? Why do you fall out of love? Who thought up this whole love thing? And last but not least, Why is that mind blowing feeling you get when you realize you love someone so gosh dang mind blowing?lol. thats all folks!

Paranoia strikes parts of lake charles, lousiana today. Streets lights go out, homes are filled with darkness, and small children shudder in fear while hiding from the bedroom monsters. Parents bring their kids to school, thinking it’s only temporary. The halls are empty. The cafeteria and the commons are packed with loud noises. But at Barbe High School, these are not the noises of scared students, its the sound of cheering and clapping with the hopes of leaving school. And that’s exactly what happens. Today school was dismissed due to a power outage. Most amazing day ever, filled with hot chocolate, frisbee, pizza, ping pong, boy meets world, and the piano. What more could you ask for. Non stop smiles all day. BEST DAY EVER!!!

Today was a very good. The best part was the surprise party our english class threw for Mrs. Allan and her many years on this earth. When I firsted entered into the AP world, i was terrified but after noticing the changes it’s made in me as a reader and a writer, I am very happy to be in that class. Mrs. Allan has inspired me to become a teacher, and an advanced english teacher at that. I believe that the world is in desparate need of help and I plan to change the world, even in a small way, through teaching. I would also like to open a center for mentally handicapped children, much like the Youth Leadership Center, for I have a cousin with down syndrome and even though he is not fully developed for his age, he is the most caring and hilarious person i’ve ever known. So if one day down the line, Im writing a book or getting an award for an amazing accomplishment, it’s all thanks to Mrs. Allan.
