I'm on the field hockey team and it sucks because I'm goalie. I hate it. Cross country might be my choice next year.

We were playing ultimate frisbee to warm up and I try way too hard. I ran into another girl on my own team, fell on the ground and burst into tears. I limped over to the coach and told her just how much my knee hurt.

"It's probably just a bruise. Tough it out. You'll be fine. Go run a mile as fast as you can."

That's when I could walk. By the time I got home, I couldn't walk. I was on crutches for three days and they say my knee cap (the bone) is bruised and I strained some of the tissue that holds it in place. Yay.

Speed Skating season started last night. I can barely walk.

Summer means no school
But also
It means muggy, humid, heat
With sweaty, nasty, smelly people
And taking two or three showers
At the Olympic Training Center
Or training in Rochester

It means summer camp and family outings
And being away from the one you love
For days and days
And not being able to even hear his voice

It means late nights
Sneaking in or sneaking out
Secret co-ed sleep-overs
And climbing up balconies

Summer means friends
But few and far between
Being left out of all the pool parties
And trips to air conditioned homes

It means planning for a birthday
No one will remember
Hoping that maybe
He will bring sweets

Summer means waiting for school to start
Waiting for the rain to come
Waiting for the phone to ring
And waiting for the cold front from Canada



...I am crazy

Summer is going good so far. There's a new litter of kittens down at the farm and one of them is truely satanic. I've lost my iPod and almost lost my cell phone. The minutes have been piling up so high from phone calls at unreasonable hours in the night. My sunshine came to visit me the other day and it was amazing.



I don't think anyone cares.
