I'm Not Ready to Say Goodbye

It all started about 4 months ago: gymnastics as usual, but when we got there, something had changed. Coach Jason had shaved his head. We laughed along with him, but we were uneasy. Something was definately up. He told us that it was easier this way, with shorter hair. But we just didn't believe him.

And then we were told: He was joining the army. He was leaving. He wasn't going to be our coach anymore. We thought we had untill March at least, and he was sticking around for a little bit after that. We had time.

But we didn't. He's not our coach anymore. After two years of thursdays, he's gone.

flashback

It was the first day me and Lauren had decided to pick up a second class. I was uneasy. I mean, a guy coach? But he was funny. I fit in instantly. Later that year, I decided to join Advanced Academy, with him as my coach of course. I quit a couple weeks later, but re-joined his Thursday class anyway [even though I was too high a level for the class]. He bothered me about leaving Advanced Academy, but I didn't care, for I was still in his class. I was, up untill today.

The knews pulled the rug out from under my feet. I didn't believe it, wouldn't believe it. But as the class wore on, it started to dawn on me. I had been preparing to say goodbye, for of course the day would come. I just didn't expect it to come so soon. He was one of my best friends. He gave me a stupid nickname. When he bothered me, I would bother him right back. We had inside jokes - about meatloaf >_<. I wasn't afraid to tell him things that would seem rude when directed at a coach. But he wasn't my coach anymore. He was special.

And now I type this, almost recovered from my state of shock, and more depressed every passing minute. I hope that maybe everything will be fine; that I don't quit the class not that there's a new coach, that I don't stop functioning for a little while. But this goes beyond words, and I just hope maybe that I'll see him and be able to say goodbye.

Today's blog is brought to you by paper cranes. Let's make a thousand, let's make a wish.

The Wall Punched Me!!

That's probably what I would get for punching it in the first place, though. But what can I say? I needed to get to math, and it was just RIGHT there IN MY WAY.

Srsly.

You know something is bad when it's worse than the Lucas picture on the wall of the UA building. So this is bad. I like the people are at Irvine High - people to talk to, you know? But the problem is that they're EVERYWHERE. Break is the worst time of all. They crowd every walkway that is needed after the bell rings: just standing there, and impassible wall of death.

And don't get me started about the bushes. Who's bright idea was it to plant a huge bush right in the middle of everything? One of these days somebody will be eating it. I hope it tastes good.

Back to people. I know that we still have 5 minutes to get to class, but would it kill some people to start moving before that? Otherwise, they wouldn't get run into and such. And tripped over. Which is not trippy [really bad pun intended].

So, here begins my rant, about how people just act like punching punchable walls, that prevent you from getting to your next class after break.

That All-Time Depression When the Drug High Wears Off

Too bad it isn't drugs. I could use some of those, just to escape this pain. Maybe I am the stupid drug, that's why I'm always happy. And something that would take me off of it would be...braces.

I spend an hour waiting for them to call me in, wishing I had brought my math homework. They finially did, and it wasn't a bad appointment untill they added the rubber bands. The orthodontist showed me how to put them on, and when I tried to respond, I couldn't open my mouth. I wanted to cry right there, but I didn't. Lauren didn't help, with her stupid little comments and how she laughed at me as I tried to eat a cookie [I coudln't get it past the rubber bands]. My mouth was hurting already.

At home was even worse. We got pizza, and I ate it as fast as I could before it was too painfull, and so I could get my math homework done. I didn't even finish - at 7 I gave up and would do it tomorrow before school. Next on the list was music. I had an assignment due tomorrow that needed to be practiced, and one due the 12th. The first one was easy, I did it in no time, but the second one was very frustrating. I kept getting low scores and eventually gave up like the math.

I wish my life would stop doing this to me. I ride on my Shannon-highs and when I crash, it's horrible. Maybe the braces crash will stop soon. 9 weeks I guess. My dad keeps saying "You're almost done! You're smile is going to look so nice when you finish."

But when will I finish? 9 weeks is too long when I've been doing this for almost a year and a half. And is a perfect smile worth all this pain? For three weeks can I stand having my mouth rubber banded shut? It sure doesn't feel like it.

4 Squids in a Pot

Well I saw it on my DA, because I finially checked it. And frankly, we've come really friggen far. because 1 - now we can actually draw and 2 - we can 321 DRAW (bang!)

I'm going to re-draw the 4 squids in a pot that I made, but this time it will be on photoshop
well it's almost 12, there is no school tomorrow, and I'm sick therefore my brain is only about 1/4 functional [normal brain function is 1/2 of SHINY] so I just had to do SOMETHING. Side note: mochi is amazing I'm going to have to get some.

I wish I had something depressing like everybody else to rant on, but I gots nothing :[ sorry for you sadists out there. Mebbe once school starts on Tuesday I'll come up with something

I Feel Like...

One of those crazy mothers on that TV show, where they do DNA tests to find out the father. Lol that's kinda a dramatic though, because I only caught a cold. Too bad I can never tell who I got it from.
I finially started my homework, got boered and went on Gaia
Right now it's raining -- very rare for down here. I hope it warms up soon, because winter is my least favorite season. I mean, I'ts cold, you're trapped in the house, you get sick, you can't go swimming...
Just one big clump of evil season
