LAX Bro Lyfe

HELLO LOVELIES. HOW ARE YOU ALL FEELING ON THIS LOVELY FRIDAY. LOVELY? LOVELY.

Well I have had just a lovely past few days filled with lacrosse, lacrosse, and more lacrosse. Yesterday we had our first game of the real season. Park City vs. Riverton. I am so excited about this Park City JV team because we rock.

Park City JV team at the Gathering of the Tribes tournament

We won, final score was 9 - 7 ( I think.)  Then, today we had the first half of the Gathering Of The Tribes tournament. We first played Jordan and won 5 - 1, then we played Juan Diego and won 8 - 3. 

I just love lacrosse games. They're so adrenaline-filled and exciting. I mostly play D-Wing which is a midfield position, and low defense. Since, I'm so good at being a Lax Bro-ette, I wanted to share some of my insightful tips with you that I've come up with over the years. 

1. (Tip courtesy of Coach Glee Corsetti) 50% of lacrosse is acting. Girl is running close to you, just fall over. Just over do it and fall on the ground and roll around and be all disoriented and then the ref will be all, "We have a push on number 34 white. Red ball. Everybody give her four." And then you win. Can I get an oscar over here?

2. This is a tip I made up for when I'm on defense. Just get really close to your girl and in a really high, creepy, whisper voice just start telling a story. Like, just start making up a story, it can be about anything you want, and just start telling it. Your girl will be all confused by your weirdness and be like, "what the heck?" and she'll drop it and you win. 

3. The final tip I'm going to share with you also comes from my imaginational brain. So when you're in the game, and you need a little push or pump up, just start pretending you're in The Hunger Games. Like, if you need to catch that girl, sprint like she's about to grab your backpack at the feast. If you're on offense, pull some sneaky Foxface move and dodge that girl and shoot. Works every time. The trick is you have to really be vivid in your imagining, otherwise it's just stupid. Like, what. 

So there you go then. Follow these tips and you'll be a pro like me, Maddie, Claire, and Micaela in no time. 

Text Message Decoder

It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Fridayyyy

Everybody's lookin forward to the weekend, weekend

Friday, Friday-

Ok that's enough of that. 

 IN OTHER NEWS I FEEL REALLY BAD I HAVEN'T BEEN POSTING AS FREQUENTLY AS I SHOULD BE. I used to be way better about it and I'm really truly sorry and I will try to be better about it. 

Today I've come here to change and revolutionize your life. We all have waded through the confusing waters of text messaging and it can sometimes be confusing, but today everything will be cleared up. I'm here to explain to you the meaning behind common text messages we receive so you'll never be left wondering, ".....what?"

Let's start with the basics. 

This was the only picture of a phone that I had

Hi -  This means that they want to start a conversation with you but are a little bit awkward and weird and don't know how to do it. I personally HATE when I get a text just saying "Hi," because, well it just bothers me. Like, I know you're struggling here, but that's not how you do it. 

Hey - Just a normal "hey." Don't read into this one too much. 

Heyy - A friendly "hey." Like what you would get from a friend. You could also get a "heyy:)," with a smiley at the end. This means that they're happy you engaged in conversation and want you to keep talking. 

Heyyy - If someone sends this to you as a conversation starter, that means that they're into you. If you get it as a reply, it's used as a reply to a conversation starter, you're annoying the noodles out of them and you should probably just stop. 

:) - You just said something cute, or funny, or maybe you complimented me, and it made me happy and now I don't know what else to say, but I don't want to stop talking to you. I mean, this could be love! Can we get married?

;) - I think we all know what a winky face means. Don't make me spell it out for you. 

:-) - This is probably your grandma or maybe even your mom, but only old people put a nose on their smiley face.

Haha yeah. - You're annoying but I'm too nice to tell you to leave me alone and I really want this conversation to be over. 

We should hang out sometime - Let's hookup. 

K. - You better seriously watch your back because you just pissed me off big time and I'm probably plotting to kill your family as we speak. Then after that, don't be surprised if you are kidnapped and tortured dying a slow painful death. Then after you're dead, I might come and twerk on your grave.

Sooooo, yeah. (That's also how I end every single presentation I ever give to the class.) 

Emotional Investment in the Media

Happy Tuesday my lovelies! I hope you're all doing well on this fine day that actually happens to be my fourth least favorite day of the week. (In order from 'wow you make me want to drink a bottle of bleach', to 'let's get married', it goes Monday, Sunday, Thursday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, Friday.) 

I feel like I've been absent from my blog for a long time and I sincerely apologize for that. We had February Break last week during which I went to Disneyland. The 11 hour car ride to Anaheim is always a bonus as well. *Sarcasm* 

Then we went back to school yesterday and in third period I all of a sudden felt really sick. I proceded to feel like death for the rest of the day which was especially convient since it was also the first day of softball tryouts. And I couldn't figure out what was wrong because I had every symptom known to man. Like I had chills, a fever, a migrane, felt like I was gonna throw up, dizzy, sore throat, cough, etc. Basically one big super illness. I call it the 'Jackie' and as soon as I figure out how to hack into WebMD and add it, the symptoms list will just say, 'everything.' 

Ok wait what was I even writing about again? Like I got so off topic I forgot what this post was even about. Lol at my life. 

Emotional investment in the media. Oh lawd Jesus. How do I even go about explaining myself to you? I care more about what happens in fictional character's lives than I do about what happens in my own. Two shows in particular are Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars. Like, (Yes, I'm aware that I start 98.362% of my sentences with the word 'like', but that's how I talk in real life, so that's how I'm going to talk on the internet.) I don't even have words when I try to talk about them. All I do is make 'uggh' and 'sigh' noises and think that people will just understand. I don't know how they made me get so attached to them. It's a TV show, like, you shouldn't care that much. BUT I DO. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY DO. 

When I first started watching The Vampire Diaries, I had absolutely no clue what I was about to do to my life. I watched the first episode on Netflix one day just because I was bored and it was both the best and worst thing that's ever happened to me. I don't know what a cocaine addiction is like, but I am 99% sure it's identical to what I have with that show. I watched three full seasons in a time span of five days. Do you know how many episodes are in a season of TVD? Twenty two. And do you know how long each one is? An hour. So twenty two times three is 66. That means 66 hours. Because you can't stop. You think I'm exaggerating but I'm not. You literally can not stop. I swear on my cat's life. (Now you know I'm not joking around cause she's like, my only friend.) 

They get you hooked, and then they think they can just do all these things that they know are going to tear you apart. Like, "Oh you really liked this character huh? Well now we have to kill him." Like, um can you not.

  Oh and don't even get me started on the whole "Toby-Spencer" situation on PLL. No.
