Post-Xmas

so merry christmas/happy holidays/happy december. so xmas was good this year. i got Tegan and Sara's Sainthood album, new headphones, a big book of countryside Ireland, and a rockin black and green pinstriped vest from Hot Topic. my brother gave me this rad sticker that says TOLERANCE. it's one of those that has a differnet symbol for each letter [T is a cross, O is a peace sign, A is the star of david, etc etc]. i love it.

The Ireland book is amazing. I am over half Irish and I'm at a point in my life where I feel a great pull towards Ireland and I desperatly wish to go there, so the book is that much more amazing.

I am a huge Tegan and Sara fan, but I only discovered them about a month ago. I started with So Jealous, moved on to The Con, and now at Sainthood. I wanted to take it slow so I wouldn't just be hit with 50 songs so I am just arriving at their latest. The Con is my favorite album but Sainthood isn't bad. I especially love love LOVE the song Arrow. Paperback Head, On Directing, and Red Belt are a few other of my favs. Tegan and Sara are stopping my way in March on their tour and my mom initially was going to take me. Now she's not sure but I will go one way or another ;).

I just got my pink slip which means my permit is coming up! I'm 16 so I am so ready to hit the road.

Well, the alumni game for school is on Tuesday. We are going to get creamed. The seniors from last year were extremely talented with 4 of them in college soccer. Seeing as over half the team this year is sophmores...uh oh :)

The Beginning

I've decided to take a crack at blogging. I'm a junior in high school and I play soccer for the school team. Preseason began in late November and I was named Captain of the team. At practice tonight, I was stripped of my Captain's Band because I don't speak my mind to my team. I'm not the most talkative person [my Dad's favorite adjective is 'laconic'] so I figured I'll start with a blog and see how it goes.
