Okay... I'm a 16 year old with a wonderful boyfriend, and a bunch of friends (some of which are better than others) and a love to play hockey. I have NO clue what I want to do in life besides play hockey and be with my boyfriend. But that's beside the point.. I don't know what the point is, maybe by the end of this I'll figure it out.
Let's see.. Hockey... hockey is my life, it is my favorite thing to do in the world. If I didn't love it so much, I would have quit by now, guys are such jackasses, some coaches too. Don't get me wrong, not all of the guys are jackasses, just some of them, but they annoy the hell out of me, and then there's coaches that sit girls just because they have two boobs instead of a weiner (I guess two isn't always better than one) and earn no respect for me. I like playing on a guys' team though, as much as some of them treat me like shit, I love it when they tak me out and I just get back up and skate off. Last year my league team was great, I had so much fun with that team. This year I'm on a girls' comp team, and we're so crazy, it's hella fun. I'm in the middle of my 8th season and lovin' it.
My boyfriend- he's the greatest. We "met" in 8th grade (for me, he was in 7th), but I'd known who he was for a long time, he was my friend's little brother (at the time I had no clue he was just her step-brother, but I still knew who he was) We were in the same gym class for first semester, but at semester they switched from one co-ed class (which was really really fun) to a girls class and a boys class... anyway... he was one of those guys who went out with a different girl every week/couple days/whatever... he told me that once he went out with like, 3 or 4 girls within 2 weeks.. I always thought he was cute.. but I didn't really "like" like him.. he was just kinda cool. Then track season started and we were together every day after school. That's when I started to like him...we flirted a lot, his girlfriend broke up with him, and he still didn't ask me out (I had NO clue why, his sister told me he liked me a lot) and so I went out with another guy who I liked and he liked me and all that great stuff. Freshman year... we go to a Jr/Sr high school so we were still in the same school. I still liked him a lot, and I eventually broke up with my boyfriend, not because of him, but because nothing was happening. 2 days later Daniel asked me out, and I'd like to say we've been together ever since, but we haven't... we went out, didn't talk much, and I broke up with him... a couple weeks later, I couldn't stand it and asked him out again.. we went out... didn't talk much, and he broke up with me. I still REALLY liked him, but he didn't seem to be returning the feelings.. We almost went 3 months without going out, but after he got back from California for the summer in the end of July, he called me and asked me out again... of course I said "yes"... we're a LOT better now than we used to be.. we talk ALL the time, my mom yells at me for being on the phone/internet so much (I'm always talking to him) and we love each other so much... it's been 1 year and almost 5 months almost now (this time, 2 years 3 1/2 months on and off) and we are SO in love. :) He moved to California in September, and things got a little iffy sometimes, but we're working it out, and I think we'll stay together. We might not though, but he'll be here in the beginning of January :) and we'll decide from there. I'm probably boring you with talk about him... I'll go on to something else a little more interesting perhaps.
I also play soccer. I'm not very good, but my ball-handling skills have gotten a lot better since last year. I can dribble around some of the guys at practice (who cares if they're the freshmen that have never played before? ;)) It's really fun, last year we went on a road trip and we had the guys team and girls team on one bus. 47 people including coaches and it was a blast :) we were a bit crowded, but hey... doesn't matter. It was fun.
Cross-country... our team re-started a cross-country team my freshman year. Over the summer I wasn't planning on doing anything until hockey started and the track/cross-country coach called me and asked me if I'd be interested in running cross-country. "I'm a sprinter, I can't run distance" is what I said. And he told me it would make me a better sprinter, so I thought..maybe.. it'll get me in shape for hockey. So I tried it. It was fun. I almost died after my first race, when we walked the course, he neglected to show us the HUGE hill in the middle of it (for a good reason) but it was pretty fun, we had a really small team, but we did okay I guess. This year, I was usually our top runner, it switched between me and Sarah. I missed state by about 3 feet.. Top 15 in the region go to state and I was 16th by about an arm's length. I coulda pushed her over the finish line. I always kept thinking.. if only I hadn't slacked off and almost given up at the top of the hill.. I was dead, so I was just like.. screw it... I'm not going to state, then when I realized the 15th place girl was about 20 yards ahead of me.. I fired it up.. if only the finish line had been at the end of the football field instead of the 50 yard line.. dang. I'll go next year. and I WILL make it.. hehe...
My life...kinda sucks right now.. it doesn't really, but then again, it does. I don't know how to explain it.. my life revolves around my boyfriend and sports pretty much. Most of my "best" friends have abandoned me. My "Best Friend Forever" hardly ever talks to me, quit the soccer team (when she was a soccer FREAK) always says rude stuff that she meant to be funny but really wasn't, is ALWAYS mean to my boyfriend (and not like, just mean stuff some of the time, but she has NEVER said anything nice about him except once I can remember) and didn't even come to my Sweet 16 party yesterday. (she was shopping for prom shoes) so there's my little vent about that... my mom says I'm immature, irresponsible and have no priorities... that's all I'll say, it would take too long to explain the rest... I guess I should have a happy little life, but it's not really.. all the time, I like it enough.. I just need to start doing what I want to do instead of what everyone else tihnks I should do.
