VOLLEY BALL!!!!

hey u guys!
i'm kinda bummed right now. i had my first volleyball game today with my school team. i am the team captain. we have to call a coin toss to c who serves 1st at the beginning . i won the coin toss (by calling tails) we served 1st.
we lost the 1st game (that one i only played in to serve: my strong suit)
i played full time in the 2nd game and we won! my heart felt like it waz gonna pop out of my chest!
it didn't though. (duh) we went into a tie breaker. you have to call a coin toss for the tie breaker too.
i won that one. we served 1st. we lost the tie breaker by 3 :(
i am ok though. we have a rematch with that team on thursday.
THEY ARE GOING DOWN!!!!
LOL

9-11 :(

my friend told me to remember what had happened 6 years ago. blindly and without thinking i said "what happened 6 years ago?" he told me to tell him the date of the next day and i was like "no way!!!" has it been 6 years? it seems like yesterday that i was sitting in disbelief watching the 2nd plane it the towers. YOU GUYS! as americans we should NEVER forget the things like this. and although i hadn't forgotten the event i felt terrible that i didn't realize how blind i was being. 6 years ago, the towers fell and i continued to live exactly the same way as i normally had. but u know what? some people's lives were dramatically altered! i'm sorry to those who lost loved ones that tragic day. i am praying for you. my worst fear is to lose someone i love. you who didn't lose someone: we need to remember how the terrorists were trying to rip our country apart and how they brought us to our knees and unified us that day. my dad said he remembers that night as the darkest night. and you know what? it was.

we have to remember you guys. this is what our children will learn about in history just as we have learned about wars and the depression and what not. the wars and things seem bad to us but we didn't live through them. we lived through this. now we know how our grandparents felt.

>something to think about<

movies

hey yall waz up????
sorry this is my 1st post in a while...nvm i posted a week ago....
has it been that long since Monday? i guess so.
hey my fav movie as of now is HAIRSPRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i absolutely love that movie
ok i actually like zac in that movie! in hsm1 i didn't like him...i mean the hair didn't match his eyebrows but with the dark hair he is way cuter...lol
hey speaking of zac efron, did u see hsm2?? i did. i liked it i guess but i think i like 1 better... i like them both but if i chose one, id pick 1 for one reason: i have drama coming out of my ears. but this was a little redic. everyone knew troy and gab were gonna like have sharpay getting in and there was gonna b drama...i think it was a little retarded that zac sang that song on the golf course. the coreog was a little weird.

if u disagree (brooke) tell me
and i can argue with u LOL

eyerus

2 years ago at summer camp i had the most humbling and life shaking experience!
the band that was playing was a supporter and a speaker for world vision which is a support group for kids in africa who are terribly affected by HIV/AIDS.
that night when all of our girls in our cabin were meeting together we were all thinking the same thing. we all felt that we needed to do something about the children starving when we can go out to a store and buy a coke for a $1.
that night we pooled all of our extra money we had brought and we managed to raise appx. $160. we funded her for 4 months advance!!!!
this last camp i went to was a family camp in california. there they showed the jr. high and highschool a video called "invisible children." it was the hardest thing besides "the passion of the Christ" that i ever had to watch. it showed how the kids are taken captive and forced to kill people for the rebles who are going against the government. kids were totured until they were brainwashed!!!
the kids were constantly in fear for their life.
now i am dedicated to sharing that feeling of needing to do something with my youth group every month and am going to get in touch with eyerus once more.
