Hihi!!! Sorry I've been gone for so long, I got moderated and suspended for a week :(. But, anyways, I've got some great news!!! Ok, so Holly, who is like the best 5th grader EVER(!) is on the 11/12 Softball All Star Team! And, guess who else is on it?!?! ME!!! I made the All Star team again, for the third time, I think. But, there's still another great thing! CHLOE AND CLAIRE, the awesome twins I kinda told you about before, MADE IT TOO!!!YAYAYAYAY!!! Now, we're all on the team together :D!! You see, it wouldn't be that cool if it was just me on the team(it'd still be pretty cool, considering me and Holly are the only 11s out of the 11/12s on the team, which I think is a lil weird personally, but getting off topic :)) but now it's all of us!!! It's gonna be so much fun!

Ok, but there's also some bad news. Sedoo, my bestest friend ever, is moving to Texas!!! Her daddy got a new job, and they're moving. The good thing is that her family is really really well off in Texas. It's not like they're starting totally over. They're gonna have a 3 story, 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath house! She's pretty rich to begin with, but she's gonna be very happy and we won't forget about her here.

So, that's really all that happened. Oh, and my braces don't hurt anymore, finally! And that really is all that happened since last blog. Feel free to comment!

Ok, I'm keeping my promise!!! So, tonight we played the Stars, and we.... WON!!! We won by one(try saying that 5 times fast :)) according to the score, but we won before the game began because they didn't have enough players. Anyways, I caught for the first inning again, and I did okay. Not great, but ok. Then, I was leadoff(as always, it's been that way for 3 years now.) and I got a leadoff double! It was a pretty nice hit, from what I heard, because I couldn't watch it cuz I was running! Anyway, we got our 5 runs back and we were out in the field. I played shortstop, which I am beginning to love again, and I made a couple plays to first. Skip ahead to the 4th inning when I pitched and....I TTLY SUCKED!!!!!! I couldn't pitch a strike if my life depended on it. So they got their 5 runs, almost all on walks :(, and we went back in and hit. I got hit by a pitch so I got on base. Then, I stole 2, 3 and home before the next batter(Kenna) got on! It was pretty friggin sweet. Yadda, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah, I went back out and pitched and sucked it up real nice again. Now, it must be time for... AN OPEN INNING!!! A CHANCE TO MAKE ALL THE RUNS WE CAN!!! So, we rallied, which is really what we're best at, and ended up making 6 runs out of 5 runs that we absolutely had to make. So, we won!!!

That's softball, now this is school. Remember my speech I told you about? Well, I got a 6 in ideas and content, a 5 in organization, a 5 in language and a 4 in delivery. The benchmark is a 4, so I passed in every aspect. But, I got a 4 in delivery because I talked too fast, like I said before. My teacher is pretty dumb, though. She thinks that I may have talked too fast because I had just gotten braces on. WTF? How does that work? Wouldn't it make me talk slower? Idk, I just talk fast normally, so DUH I'm gonna talk fast during my speech!!! Also, it was a little hard to follow so I got a 5 in organization. Language, nobody got a 6, so I'm actually above average in the average range(idk if it makes sense to you guys, but if you don't get it, it's rly not that important). I also had a social studies test on Afrca last week, and I got 24/27, so not that bad. I still have an A, so it's REALLY not that bad. I'm probably gonna get a 4.0 again this quarter, last quarter was the only one I didn't get a 4.0 (I got a B+ in math, so I ended up with a 3.82).

That's pretty much it, I just wanted to make sure I kept my promise. :)

OMG!!!! I really am extrememly sorry for ttly forgetting about you and not writing for a long time. Ok, first of all, I got my braces yesterday. They're "screaming pink" which is kinda a reddish hot pink(actually, they're almost exactly like the color of this text). They hurt pretty bad, but the spacers were waaaaaay worse because they moved my jaw sooo much. Last night, I had what was supposed to be my last softball game. I played catcher for the first 2 innings, which I haven't done since I was like 8, and I did a lot better than I thought I would. We lost, 17-7 but still, it was against the best team in the league. I pitched the last innning, and I was the only one who didn't get 5 runs scored on them per inning. I gave a speech in Language Arts today, and apparently I did like really awesome. My teacher said that the only thing that I did wrong was that I talked too fast, but I talk too fast anyways so, that's not gonna change anytime soon :). I'm just glad that I was understandable, considering that I'm learning how to talk again :P.

Sooooo, that's all that happened recently, now let's go back to when I left you guys. The first thing that happened since May 17 was me getting my spacers on the 28th. They hurt rly frikin bad, and I never would wish that on anybody, if they had teeth as compact as mine were. My teeth were frikin messed up!!! I have like 3 teeth growing out of the sides of my gums because all the rest are so close together that there isn't any room for the others. Then, on Saturday the 31, my softball team went up to an inter-league tournament. The first team we played was really lazy, and they weren't even good enough normally to be lazy so we kicked there butts. The second team, however, wasn't as easy. In the top of the 3, we were down 10-1. But, then we RALLIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got our 5 runs and we were back in the game! Jamie Dailey, Miriah and Chloe all hit doubles, I got walked (:cry:) and we scored our five runs AGAIN!!!! Then, I went out and pitched a THREE UP-THREE DOWN!!! 3 K'S IN 1 INNING?!?!?!? It was like the most intense moment of my life: 2 outs, full count, all up to me. I pitched my circle change almost PERFECTLY(good time to perfect a pitch u usually have trouble on, huh :P) and she went all out for it! Then, we went up and got our 5 runs, AGAIN!!! But, we ended up losing by 1. That doesn't really matter anymore, though. Nobody remembers the score when they think about THAT PARTICULAR game. They just think about our awesome rally time, and how well we played later on in the game.

That's really all that happened since I wrote last. On Friday I have another game, but it's against a team that doesn't have a chance. They have pretty average players, but they can't play as a team worth crap, so that cancels out the good players. And, I PROMISE to write about our next game sooner!

The moral of this blog post is: Keep focusing, even when you're down by 9, one innning before the 10-run-rule takes effect B-)

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I've always known I was gonna need braces. I have a milder bite than my brother, but I have the same problem. My lower jaw is ahead of my upper, yet I have an overbite. You can't really see my bad teeth, but I can feel how screwed up my jaw is. And, my teeth first grew in without any enamel, so when I was 2 they took out my top 4 front teeth. THIS SHOULD BE AN INDICATOR THAT I'M GONNA NEED BRACES, RIGHT? I guess my parents(my brother agreed with me the ENTIRE time) don't know how to connect the frikin dots!!!! I wanted to get them last year, cuz I lost all my teeth, but my mom said that I would probably never need braces. The only problem is that she was thinking COMPARITIVELY to my brother, so of course I wouldn't need braces in that mindset! So, now, in 6th grade, I have to get separaters on the 28 of May(Oh, yeah, I have a really bad problem with compact teeth. There is a hole smaller than a Tic-Tac that is supposed to hold a full grown tooth. i also have pretty big teeth, so that doesn't help!!!) and I'm getting braces on the 3 of June. THE DAY OF MY LAST SOFTBALL GAME!?!?!?!?! I'm not gonna miss it, but still!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna have to wear braces until at least half way into my freshman year, which could've been avoided if we had gone back in time and listened to Jamie Lynn!!! UGH!!!!!!!

Ok, I feel a lot better now, you guys have no idea. I just needed somebody different to rant to. So, thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooooooooo, I'm back again!!! Today at school we had a home track meet so we got to leave after 6th period and go and watch it. The only problem is that my sunscreen wore off by 2, which is when it started, and right now we are having a MAJOR heat wave so I got a really bad sunburn!!!!! It doesn't really help that I am a red head, fair skinned, freckle faced Irish girl, so I'm prone to sunburns even when it isn't frikin 90 degrees!!! O, well. My friend, Spieg(Jimmy Spiegelberg, but evry1 calls him Spieg) did AWESOME!!!! And so did Maya,and Jenica and Erik and Tessa and Ashley and everyone else!!! My school won the track meets, but that's no surprise cuz we(literally, I'm not exaggerating!) win every single track meet! So, ya, I just kinda wanted to whine about my really horible sunburn and stuff. BIBI
