Cheer!

well cheer is over officially. just thought i'd give you maybe a quick overview of how it went.

i started after the football season was over and right before basketball/wrestling season started. First of all, we had to make signs to decorate the school with...

My first sign! It was a hit. :)


Then there were some wrestling meets...

My first cheer event. No, the car was not in motion when this was taken.


Our school has kind of been lacking in spirit, which kind of pissed off Mr. Luce. He was so sick of it in fact, that he decided to give us some shirts and leave the rest up to us. So this year, Mr. Luce took the initiative to buy shirts for the student body to replace their Student ID cards. So if they wanted to still get into the games for free, they had to wear these shirts. You probably can't tell, but they say "REGULATORS" above a cowboy on a horse and underneath, it says "Mount Up". Nice work, Lucey. Nice work.

Our bad-a cheer crowd. It's not a very good picture, but you get the idea... we usually look more excited to be there, but we were losing, so we're pretty unhappy.


Then there were the trips...

Can you blame me?

Déjà vu!

speaking of which, i just realized that i'd really like to know what that phrase means and in what language. someone help me out?

anyways, i bet you're wondering what in the heck i am doing up so late blogging... again. and if you weren't wondering that before, i bet you are now. and if you're not wondering now... please start, because if you don't then i'll just feel ridiculous. the answer is that i so brilliantly just watched the scariest episode of "Psych" i have EVER seen, and i watched it right before i'd planned on going to bed. it was a purposely cliché horror movie kind of thing, with the crazy psycho killer at the summer camp that kills off anyone found alone, but it still got to me. the thing is, the show started with a girl watching a slasher movie by herself at night during a storm, and i said out loud "oh yeah, THERE'S a good idea. watch a scary movie alone and everything will turn out great." then there's me, freaking out about a horror episode on a comedy show. go figure. so when i went upstairs to take a shower, i naturally pictured everything happening to me that happened in the show. but can you blame me?! one girl got killed right when she got out of the shower! and the other guy died when the killer shoved his head into the sparking circuit board (is that the right term? i mean the box with all the breakers and switches. it was sparking.) with a wet mop. aaaaah!

i'm sorry, that turned out longer than i'd meant for it to. my point is that i'm too scared to go to bed right now, at least until Dad gets home. but since that probably won't be for like another hour or so, i'm trying to distract myself to get my mind off of Clive the psychotic serial killer/camp counselor.

i guess i'll make this kind of an update. like i said during my last insomnia attack, all i've really been focusing on lately is school, cheer, and prom. i did end up getting a dress, but i'm not going to put a picture up, because we still have to alter it. i promise, i'll fill you in on all that grandity (ha! i invented another word!) when the time comes... after March 21st. but for the fun of it, i'll put up some pictures from my adventure to the prom dress store with my almost-sister-in-law Kristen, my cousin Jordan, and her boyfriend Pico a few Saturdays ago!

Possibly the ugliest dress i have ever seen. But it came in my size, so i tried it on!

Aww... i wanted that dress SO dang bad!


in other news, i am almost done with cheer for the year. this weekend was state wrestling, but we ended up not going for several reasons. 1: only 5 boys went, and there would be like 4 hours between each match. 2: we wouldn't be allowed to go down on the mats at all. 3: we'd be so far away from the mats that no one would be able to hear us. 4: if the cheerleaders went, we'd have to take a bus. but since we didn't, the boys were able to take the school district's Excursion. however, i did get to go to region wrestling last week, and that was pretty fun. i got a TON of pictures from that, but only because my friend Kayson stole my camera and got a little... "trigger" happy. :)

i have some other pictures, but i'm too lazy to put them on here. anyways, the basketball season ends officially in 2 weeks, on the 28th. hurray! i would feel bad for saying that, but i happen to know of a few basketball players who are ready for the season to be over, so i can't blame myself for feeling the same way. once it's over, i fully intend on doing a post all about it... but we'll see if that holds up.

school-wise, things are going pretty well. i'm passing all of my classes, even if just barely. my Computer Literacy class is kicking my butt, and i do not appreciate it. i also do not appreciate the project that i'm doing in Earth Systems. we're learning about the water cycle and water conservation, so from today until Tuesday the 17th, i have to keep a "water log." which is where i keep track of when i use water, what i used it for, and how much. plus, it has to be cute and believe me, mine is! i'm totally bragging about it on here when i get done with it. (i keep saying i'll blog about things, but do you really think i'm going to? i don't think so either.) oh! but i do have kind of some good news. ever heard of Girls State? well, i've been involved with trying to get accepted into that, and this last Wednesday i, along with the other 7 girls going for it, had an interview to determine which 4 girls get to go. it was a horrible, horrible experience. there are the initial 4 that get to go in June, then they choose 2 alternates (in case someone gets sick or can't go for whatever reason). but apparently the Legion is trying to get more funds so that 5 girls can go, but that means that with the 2 alternates, that leaves 1 girl hangin out in the cold. yikes! we were supposed to find out on Wednesday night who got chosen, but they couldn't decide, so they asked for another day. and another one. i heard they were supposed to come to our houses today, but i'm pretty sure that didn't happen with anyone, and it sure as heck didn't happen to me. i hope i get a call tomorrow... the suspense is killing me!

speaking of which, i think i've gotten over the whole Psych thing now that my father is home... and he has a gun. he told me so after i told him why i was so scared. haha now, i realize that this was a really scatterbrained, ridiculously vague post, but i just can't seem to be able to think straight when my brain keeps nagging at me to do stupid things like sleep or blink. even this little paragraph is havin a hard time sorting itself out in my head... but whatever. i'm off to bed to dream about serial killers and the water cycle. i hope you have better dreams than i do.
