One day I looked out my window and saw a little squirrel digging a hole in the ground. I named him Trevor. Whenever I walk by a squirrel now I say "Hey, Trevor!" just in case it's him because they all kind of look the same.

Dear Jay Cuntler,
Oh, hey there! Offended by the nickname? Don't be. It means I like you. I thought it was pretty clever actually. Yeah, well, about that game yesterday. I wouldn't say it was bad buuuuuuuut, yeah, it kinda was. You're like the reincarnation of the Sex Cannon! That's a good and a bad thing, I think. I did see a few glimpse of the Sexy Rexy fastball which again is a good and a bad thing. Oh and did you see Hester? (Of course you did). He's like the lovechild of Predator and Manny Ramirez! Crazy hair. Oh and tell Earl Bennet that he's a creeper because it's true. Well, VaJayJay, I really don't have anything else to say to you. If you wish to make me fall completely in love with you, you must
a. Throw less interceptions
b. Be more like Sexy Rexy (minus all the interceptions)
c. Get some awesome drunk pictures of you on the internet ASAP (I understand Kyle Orton's affection for Jack Daniels makes for heavy competition but I have faith that you'll think of something)
Love ya lots,
Emily

Indians Tigers game was a lot fun!!!
Progressive Field is really nice (*cough* I may like it better than the Cell *cough*).
The bleachers are always a fun place to watch the game. They guys behind us were great. "Toronto": Goooo Grady! He's on my fantasy team.
Indians guys: Wow, you have a .229 hitter on your team?
"Toronto": Hey, I picked him when he was still on steriods.
Indians guys: Well if he's on steroids, then we're getting jipped!
Tigers fans: LET'S GO TIGERS!
Indians fans: 14% UNEMPLOYMENT!
Indians fans are awesome. They were losing 2-1 in the 9th and Asdrubal Cabrera started off with a triple! So awesome! He's my favorite. They tied it up and went into extra innings but ended up losing. Oh well. It was a good game. I love the drums they play!
Grady Sizemore was right there in center and we had a few balls come our way but no luck this time. This game makes me not hate him anymore (though I still don't like him very much). Yes, I actually cheered for Grady. First and last time most likely. He seems alright though.
CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ;D gooooo tribe! but just for tonight :)

First off... LOL TWILIGHT.
Correct Answer: NONE OF THE ABOVE! Most vampires are evil and not at all sparkly like Mr. Edward Cullen. Take it from the Supernatural boys, Sam and Dean, you do NOT wanna mess with these guys. Once you find out that they for sure are killing human beings (yes there is a such this as a vegetarian vampire aka they eat only animals) make sure you get some dead man's blood to weaken them and then use a machete to take their head off!

THE FIVE WORDS MEME from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) miss_trombone
Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!"
I will give you five words that remind me of you.
Post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.
1. BBML!
I love baseballmanlove (for all of you not in the know XP) for so many reasons. It’s just so adorable and really shows the camaraderie that players have with the others on their team. Baseball guys are with each other of such a huge amount of time, it’s inevitable! Plus teams that get along well with each other seem to play better as a unit. Oh yeah and two hot guys hugging=totally adorable.
2. Track
AND I WAS RUNNANG. Track is fun because the training and hard practices are so worth it. I feel so much stronger and in better shape than I ever would have been without track. Plus some of the best friends I’ve met have been runners with me. We’re alike because we all commiserate about the torture of running and yet we love it and wouldn’t give it up for anything.
3. Freddy Garcia
I’m not even sure why or how this happened but I love Freddy Garcia. Those questions don’t really even matter because my love for Freddy will never die or waver no matter where he is. I have his jersey, I cried all night when he got traded… I even have a picture of him by my bed. I seriously ask Freddy for good luck if I have a big test or something the next day. I know it sounds weird, but he’s my guy and it honestly makes me feel better if Freddy blesses me with his good luck and wisdom. :P
4. Schaumburg
Schaumburg is my hometown! I’ve lived here (in the same house) my whole entire life and even if I complain about it, I love this place and wouldn’t trade my childhood for anything. It’s a great place to grow up in, I’d just rather not stay here my whole life. Oh and I absolutely love the Schaumburg Flyers… and they’re only ten minutes away! <3
5. Art
I’m majoring in art and hope to become an art teacher one day! I feel like art is just as important as any other subject. It teaches so many things that taking tests can’t. Intelligence comes in all forms, art being one of them. Art is everywhere! Everything you are see is designed by someone, somewhere which just goes to show you how far-reaching an artistic mind can take you.

Meme from sfgiantslove51.
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...
1. Do you wear glasses? I only wear them when I'm lazy and at night. I wear contacts most of the time bcuz I can't run in the glasses I wear.
2. When did you become a White Sox fan? It was definately during the World Series run in 2005. Makes me sound like a bandwagoner but I promise I'm not! My dad has always been a White Sox fan but pre-2005 he wouldn't watch because let's face it, the team was pretty shitty. He started watching again when they played decently and we ended up watching a bunch of games in 2005 together. VIVA LOS CHICAGO WHITE SOX!!!
3. What's your favorite childhood memory? I have many but one that sticks out is playing with my friends Megan and Becky and my brother, Wyatt. They lived in the cul de sac behind us so whenever it snowed, the plows would make huge hills by their house. We built some pretty badass forts back in the day. :)
4. Have you traveled to Hawaii? Never! I wanted to go to the U of Hawaii for about two days... but that's all it lasted. Haha.
5. Who will win the World Series this year?! Ohhh that's a tough one! Though it's hard for me to say at this point... I'm fairly certain the White Sox aren't gonna be it. Def a rebuilding year... hopefully they'll drop some people next season in favor of the younger talent! Now let's see. If I had to pick a team, I'd go with the Brewers (yes, those Brewers) bcuz they are a pretty decent team and I feel they have a good chance to win the NL Central (and I'm biased bcuz this is the team I would like to see win if the White Sox don't win it).

GREAT WEEKEND!
FRI: Track meet at Wheaton-Warrenville. Not the best meet for me but I had a great time with my fave track girls! I'M IN MIAMI BITCH!
SAT: Drove to Milwaukee in the early afternoon. Our hotel was freaking sweet! It was like a crazy maze with all these creepy staircases and basements and stuff haha. "OMG IT'S DARK" *run away*. We walked around Milwaukee a little bit and ate at JC'S (Gay?) Bar and Grill. I had a Chicken Ceaser wrap and it was delicious. After that we took the bus to Miller Park. What the effff there was a Cubs fan on our bus?!!! They cannot be escaped. There was a bunch of drunk yuppies too. Miller Park is really cool from the outside. They have these cool statues of Hank Aaron and Robin Yount etc. I'm a big fan of statues and HANK AARON of course. The game was fun. Brewers fans are a lively bunch. The stadium was weird being a dome and all. It was weirdly humid. The Brewers lost 4-1 but that's okay I still love them. Melissa and I ran around the hotel after we got back. SWINE FEVER!
SUN: Woke up late and went to the Milwaukee County Zoo. It was pretty fun. There was only one zebra though.
We're most likely going to Cooperstown, NY this summer to see the BASEBALL HALL OF FAME! We're driving out there so we'll be stopping at places along the way. We'll probably see Niagra Falls, the Catskills Mntns, and possibly Canton for the football Hall of Fame (for Wyatt). I'm also hoping to stop in Pittsburgh to see a Pirates game, Cleveland for the Indians, and Toronto for the Jays! :P I may be pushing it a little but we're likely to go to at least one or two of them. Pirates hopefully bcuz ROBERTO CLEMENTE!
( And my new favorite person ever (after Brent Lillibridge of course!)... )

( GO GO WHITE SOX )
Last home track meet today was alright. I didn't do so good in the 400 bcuz I've missed a bunch of practices because of doctor's appointments. It's a lose-lose situation. I run practice and my shins hurt, I don't run practice and it's hard to finish my race. Hmmmm.

[18 Apr 2009|11:48pm] |
Wow. So I never write anymore.
Second to last home track meet today. My shins are still killing me so I'm taking it easy and I probably will the rest of the season. I ran the 4x200 and the 200. My birthday is tmrw! I'm just having family over for a small party.
( compatible, you know, big word )

OMG there are SO MANY! My favorite game system of ALL TIME is Nintendo 64, forsheezy. Super Mario 64 was one of the best games... I remember taking turns playing levels with Wyatt, Megan and Becky. The scary eel guy was always our favorite. Wyatt and I bought one off Ebay and we finally beat it! Yep, all 100 stars. It was pretty epic. I also loved Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong 64. I was always Diddy because he was obv the coolest. Snowboard Kids 2 was great too. Slash my guy bcuz was always the coolest. KOBE BRYANT'S NBA COURTSIDE! Me and Wyatt lvoed this one! I was always the Lakers bcuz they were the best, and he was the Raptors. Ellllden CAAAAAAAAMMMBBBEEELLLLL... Rick Fox with the assist. My starting lineup was always the same, Kobe, Shaq, Eddie Jones, Rick, and Elden. It was funny bcuz you could make your guy run into the pole of the basket and watch him fall down in slow motion OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! So funny! Pokemon Snap, Mario Party, Kirby 64, and Star Wars we always good ones. Mars Guo was my Star Wars dude. Wipeout was the first game we got... it came free when we got our N64. :D

IT'S BEEN A WHILE! :)
I guess I've been sort of busy, but mostly my life has just been un-exciting. Only seven more weeks until I'm a freshman again! Yay! I went on a field trip to the Art Institute on Tuesday. It was a lot of fun. We got to see the Edvard Munch exhibit which was really exciting. I wish I could paint in an expressionist style... mine always end up being really sharp and bold. First outdoor meet on Tuesday went well... it was really cold and windy though. Our meet on Saturday should be a lot better. School is pretty much torture... it just seems so pointless now. Biology is gonna be hell for the next few weeks. I just can't wait until the AP tests are over.
BASEBALLLLL!!!!! It was great to finally see some real game action. Sox aren't doing too hot yet, but hopefully they'll get it together.
BTW.
Krod Mandoon is hot! XD

Meet on Saturday was mixed for me. I was srsly pissed off at my medley relay team bcuz they barely even tried and so I wasn't close enough to catch anybody at the end. Grrrr. We got 5th... out of 5 teams bcuz one got disqualified. Anyway the 4x400 was much better! I ran second and got my PB for the year. I'm excited for Proviso aaaand our conference meet bcuz it is at CARTHAGE this year !!! Soooo cool. We got second place at the meet therefore we got to take home a plaque and it's pretty sweet. I got medals... yes, one for getting fifth out of five teams. LOL. Not much after that until later I went to see The International with Melissa, Ellen, and Kari. It was a really good movie! Clive Owen is srsly badass. We bought candy at Walgreens and went to Garis afterwards.
Today I went to breakfast with my mom, grandma, and aunt at The Standard. The food was delicious as always! We spent some time at my grandma's house and then picked some stuff up at Target. Checked out my painting that's up at the library and borrowed some books. I decided that I'm becoming a vegetarian (once track ends)! It's been a long time coming but I didn't want to do it during track or cross country seasons just because I need to overload on protein and carbs to function. Once track's over I can start! I'm excited. I'm not gonna be crazy and like never eat meat again... just on extremely rare occasions... and I won't give up milk and eggs... and maybe fish (not that I usually eat much anyway). Also I plan on running at least one mile every day for an ENTIRE YEAR! Maybe next year. I'll have to see how it goes. That's gonna be very hard for me bcuz I get lazy with running a lot. Lol. But if I run every single day then maybe... just maybe... I won't get fat during college. I don't want that to happen!!! But yeah. I took a nap and didn't get much hw done. I hate Bio bcuz the answers to our study guides aren't even in the book!!! GRRRR.
