Spagettios

AGGH! I've been feeling so stressed today. Why? "Stress stinks." What's the use of it? It just makes your eyebrows hurt. I'm very much against stress. I think it was invented by the communists. Is anyone else feeling stressed this week? But I discovered something today. Little kids are amazing at helping you cope with stress. I had three tests today and tomorrow I have two humongous flute thingys in Salt Lake and a piano recital straight after that. I'm surviving now, but last night I just wanted to shoot myself(not really but ya know). But today 2 of my little nieces were visiting and I got to babysit. First we watched,"Odette," then we ate,"espettios," then we made paper bag puppets and read books forever until we all fell asleep on the couch. It was so relaxing. I really can't remember the last time I had a conversation about living in the sky and not being able to get food or use the telephone. And I definitely can't remember how long it's been since I've indulged in a burping contest. Anyway I was just surprised at their power. Being a youngest child I don't always get little people to play with. They're great. They help you relax and forget things. Man I envy all you people with younger siblings! I'm sure they can be annoying sometimes(after all that's their job) but isn't the camaraderie great? Ohmigosh! That word was on a multiple choice practice test in English today! And it has communist connotations! AHH! Anyway I wish I had a younger sibling. Someone to boss around and tease and play sports with. I hate being an only child. I guess I'm just missing my fiancee again. Well, I like fudge and I'm too tired to write anything else coherent so g'night.

Tennis Skirts

Well I'm frustrated. Yes that's right I haven't written a blog forever but when I finally do I'm frustrated. So read this at your own risk or if you're curious about the effects of tennis skirts on an innocent girl's life. So it happened again. I was out playing tennis against my garage today(in a tennis skirt naturally) and I've come to the decision that...well maybe I haven't quite come to any decisions yet so I'll start from the beginning and you can give me advice, or just ignore this cuz it might be kinda strange if you haven't heard one of my nylon or tank-top speeches. So one day I was out playing tennis against my garage(in a skirt) and all of the sudden one of my neighbors who's like 20 and scary and doesn't always go to church starts walking up my driveway. First I thought he was just walking through my yard(people do that because of my yard's convenient location), but then he just kept standing there. So I look over at him expecting him to ask a question about our phone lines(cuz his family kinda ran into our phone box with one of their 4-wheelers) but what does he say?"I don't believe we've met."Argh! It was horrible! I was just trying to play tennis, I had no intention of flirting with some weirdo. He just kept talking. Couldn't he tell I was out there to play tennis with the garage?! So anyway that was episode one. I wasn't going to let that stop me from playing tennis in my front yard so a while later I got out there in my neon green skirt to show my resilience and keep in shape with my tennis. But there he was on his front porch just standing there staring at me. Freaky. Anyway but I stayed strong and continued to play tennis because I like tennis and I want to get tan. So then things settled down for a while. I got busy with school and took a break, but today I decided I was feeling fat and needed some exercise. So I got out there in my plain white and black Adidas skirt and started hammering away. I was doing really good too. But then slowly people started accumulating at my neighbors house. Now you have to realize they're the only people who have somewhat of a view of my driveway so I feel justified enough in wearing a tennis skirt. Plus what else do I wear when I play tennis? Sometimes I get the feeling people think I'm just showing off. So anyway I was there first, but then some kind of group of monkeys started forming at my neighbors house. But I didn't care. I was enjoying myself and it felt,"so good," to finally be out playing tennis again. But then a strange incident occurred. The ball hit the crack on my driveway and I did a terrible swing and the ball went over my other neighbor's fence. So I walked around our backyard into the garage and got another ball. But when I came back, there was a ball just sitting there next to the fence, I was sure I hadn't missed it before. But it was in my yard so I stuck one ball in my spandex and continued hitting. But then the group of monkeys I could tell commenced at trying to get my attention by whistling. Hymph. I was having a good game day and I wasn't about to stop. However, when I heard someone say the word tennis I decided I'd been out there too long and went inside cutting my tennis secession short. So what's the deal? Do I not have the right to play tennis in my own yard anymore? Do I have to wear shorts instead of a TENNIS skirt when I'm playing TENNIS? I'm frustrated. Now I'm scared of going out there. I'm gonna spend the rest of my life cooped up in my house getting fat cuz I won't be able to play tennis. I just don't understand it. Do those guys think I go out there for them? Do you think it has ever occurred to them that I go out to practice my tennis and when a girl plays tennis she wears a tennis skirt?Anyway maybe I've come to realize that tennis skirts can get you the wrong kind of attention. But why? I guess this shows you the power of the way you dress. Maybe that's why girls have so much power...or so little whichever way you look at it. But tennis skirts are wonderful! I don't want to transition back to shorts! They move all over the place and can't hold balls worth beans! It just not fair. I don't want to be whistled at but, I do want to wear tennis skirts! What should I do?! Well g'night.
