unattractive

ya know what is really unattractive?

complaining, not just complaining, but whining boo-hoo-ing about nothing really.


super unattractive.


also, cursing.


sometimes those four letter and five letter words slip out, but listening to other people use them is just super aweful.


yuck.

fearless

i just love taylor swift's newly released "fearless".

/ you take my hand and drag me head first/ fearless..

/i would dance with you in a storm/ in my best dress/ fearless

evan

so i went down to princess anne last night to see kayla, ali, and evan.. who i have not seen in at least three months. we had a grand time playing games etc. it was time for me to leave, and i said my good byes. as i'm walking out the door evan says, " i'll miss you w(r)achel!"

jaw to the floor, heart sunk in my chest.

he should probably never know just how well he has me wrapped around his little finger.

really? really!?

so i'm studying steps to correct behavior in my student. i think its absolutely ludicris (sp?) that they have spent thousands of dollars, years of research and wrote papers upon papers and came up with these psychological self-monitoring crap to correct student behavior. absolutely STUPID! what happened to the respect ofyour teachers, parents and authority? ugghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stupid hippies.

USNA

I went to the Naval Academy yesterday to watch the Midshipmen play the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

Yes they are the Hilltoppers. I wish i had a shot of their mascot. he looked kinda like the purple blob thing from McDonalds, but he was all red.weird.

anyway, it was spitting rain around game time but though nothing of it. (by the end of the game i was soaked! and jeans are NOT comfotable damp)

it was so much fun! i had never been to a live college football game. just fantastic! music blaring through the speakers, the midshipmen (and women) bringing in the air of excitement as they came into the stadium, and the third string players warming up on the field.

the one side of the stadium looks like a side profile of a ship with all its layers. averytime the navy got a touchdown, this horn blew like from a ship, the cannon boomed, and the plebes had to tun out onto the side of the field and so twenty pushups which of course they amde look so easy.

they paraded the live goat (the mascot of the navy) down the side lines. it was quite comical scene the goat did not want to walk, period. he just planted his feet and dug in. he even made a midshipman trip. poor guy.

my friend chelsea and her mama took me.chelsea's boyfriend plays for the navy. go molloy! chelsea wore one of his old jerseys and i was decked out in navy blue, head to toe:)

the moon

the moon looks like the chesire cat's smile from alice in wonderland tonight.
i can picture the cat appearing to match the smile.

it reminds me of bonfires at my aunt's house (across the road). what grand times.

cold cold weather, but we didn't care; we were so little. when your little, you hardly mind how cold or how hot it is if you are having fun. roasting marshmellows, plenty of teasing from "mean dean", and hayrides.

oh the hayrides. pop-pop's tractor and the wagon with lots of hay of course! we rode through the swamp. so creepy! dark woods, trees overhanging the road,you had to look through the leaves (or the branches when the leaves were gone)to see the stars.
even creepier if their were no stars. fun times of scary stories. who could scare everybody the most?

yet no matter what time of the year it was, we always ended up singing christmas songs. thanksgiving may not have passed, but we still sang'em!
