One, Two, Skip a few...

Ninety-Nine, A HUNDRED!

Was I the only kid who used to say that? I hope not.

So, I've started reading Still Alice, which is a book about a woman who gets Alzheimer's. I knew this before I even started reading the book, and it got me to thinking; What if that happens to me? What if I start to forget things that I don't want to forget? What if I can only remember bad things? So, I grabbed my new journal and compiled a list. Well, two lists. The first of things I never want to forget(thus far). And things I'd like to forget, but don't think I ever will.



Dear Becky,
Don't forget these things:

- Losing your two front teeth in the front yard, and getting a two dollar bill.
- Wearing plaid pants, with polka dot shirts.
- Playing Barbies with the boys in the neighbor hood.
- Dressing up in old figure skating outfits, and walking around the neighborhood.
- Being in an Anne of Green Gables look-a-like contest.
- Having hair that went down to your knees.
- Never, not ONCE, breaking a bone.
- Having knee surgery, then thinking you were paralyzed afterward.
- Loving rollerblades.
- Buying your first Comic.
- Having some of the most amazing friends ANYONE could ask for.
- Having one of those friends turn out to something more.
- The day you came home from school, to see your mom with a dog, and finding out it was yours.
- Being daddy's little girl
- Calling your father 'Daddy' longer than you should have.
- Having Curtis as a best friend for the longest time.
- Hiding imaginary animals in the vents on the side of the school.
- Falling in love.
- Your first kiss.
- The first time you rode a bike without training wheels.
- Deciding to stop being so shy.
- Realizing that music means more to you than you once thought.
- That water balloon fight with the whole of the neighborhood.
- Learning to drive.
- Failing your drivers test the first time.
- Graduating high-school.
- Deciding that girls cause too much drama.
- Laughing so hard you cried.


There are more, many more. But for now... that's all I'm going to put up here.



Dear Becky,
Don't remember these things forever:

- Being unhappy.
- Losing Curtis, and what that did to you.
- Having your heart broken.
- Being compared to your sister in most everything.
- How you felt the day your dog died.
- Feeling alone.
- Losing too many people, in a short time frame.

Those are some of the big things, there are little things I want to not remember like, falling on my face at the beach. But for now... that's all.






...Remember that one time we climbed the trees, so we could reach the rainbow?

We weren't tall enough.

Pieces of What?

Doesn't matter anymore.


What's it called when the moon isn't half, but it's less then a quarter? My calender doesn't tell me anymore, and it's throwing me off a little bit. Is it a crescent? I can't remember, but it sure is pretty tonight.

There was an Asian man, and his baby in the park behind my house today. Incase you haven't realized, men with babies are super cute. ASIAN babies are even cuter. The man was just hilarious, he was skipping through the park, having a good ol' time. I laughed, and continued on my way. To be honest, I wasn't really going anywhere, just walking through the living room, sharing my work day experiences with the family.
Really, I'm never really going anywhere. My social life lacks much of anything. Camping soon, with all the people I love <3.
Possibly Halifax in the net weekend with the lovely Colin and Evan :)


I think I like the Jonas Brothers too much for my own good.

When I look to my right, I see the back of my bedroom door.


There are some photos, 3 of these photos make me smile tremendous amounts, each for different reasons.

1. Old Man On Coney Island Pier- This is why: He's got no shoes. He was fishing. He looked at me just when I snapped the picture.
2. Graffiti'd Pole - This is why: It's got asian characters, underneath it says 'Rain In Japanese'.
3. an un-needed reminder.

I find myself looking up there often.


I think I'll go get lost in a fictitious world where tortoises tell the stories, and coma's are comma's.
Yes, this is a world I could get used to.

Pieces of what, I used to call home.

I mean what can I say to you?

So, I read Tinne's Summer List '09. And that girl, is PHENOMENAL. So, I figured, HEY! Why not make one of my own :D
Here goes;
This summer I'd like to

1. Finally beat Ocarina of Time. (Yes, I know... win a game? But I really wanna)
2. Try a food I've never had before.
3. Take more than one trip off Island. I don't care if they're even that far. I just need to leave for a bit.
4. Save my money. Which leads me to
5. FINALLY, send out those christmas gifts, which I've been adding on to since I never send them.
6. Love like I've never loved before.
7. Take more pictures then I've ever taken before.
8. Buy a film Camera.
9. Have the most amazing time with my friends.
10. Try not to miss people as much as I do.
11. Move on.
12. Try to keep drawing as much as I can, which means I should get a sketchbook, and some pencils.
13. Buy more CD's
14. Write a letter. To anyone, or everyone.
15. Invest in some more sunglasses. My collection has been diminishing. I gave some pairs away.


And so far, that's all I can think of. Who knows, as summer goes on I'm sure there will be more things that I plan to as the summer continues.

Well,

I suppose I should reintroduce myself. It's been a while. But I've been feeling that no matter how much I want to write something here, I just can't get the words to explain how I've been feeling or what's been going on. Probably because there was too much going on in my life for words to even comprehend what's been happening.

School's going to be over in a week, I have 5 days left of classes till summer break. This is great, because I absolutely hate school. But, at the same time it's really going to suck because I've grown accustomed to waking up in the morning, driving the hour needed to get here and seeing the people I see everyday. It's going to be weird not being able to see them all the time.

It's weird because I've been thinking about how much I want summer to be here, but at the same time a summer without some people is going to be awful. Absolutely awful.

Spent the weekend at Rosa's which was AWESOME, like probably one of the best weekends of life. Not kidding.
It was phenomenal. Absolutely breathtaking on so many different levels, and I wouldn't change anything about it.
Also we played this game, and it was really hard to understand at first, but then when i did understand it... I totally pwned.

Good time.

And...

Surprisingly, things are getting better.

Spring is in the air.

It was PLUS TEN today!! PLUS TEN

I'm so excited that spring is finally here, and that the snow is melting!.
I had to clean up the yard today, the whole family. It was like a family activity, most people as a family go out to dinner, or something... but is no.. we clean up the yard. It was funny though. Minus mama Hitler dictating to us how to pick leaves up off the ground. We found like 3 baseballs and a football though, so we played a bit o' ball... well me and the boys, the 'rents are too lame, and Lindy is also lame. So we did that for a bit, and mom got mad because we were trying to have a bit of fun, then of course we were pissed, and didn't do jack.

We live right infront of a park, so the whole time I was eyeing it up. The swings looked so inviting. Just there, so alone, swaying in the small breeze.
I took a hop over the fence dividing our now clean backyard, and the ever loving park and ran to the swings. We have 6 swing.
Of which three were broken :c ... Now as a child, whenever we went to the park, we all had a specific swing that we would go on... the one I usually went on was broken. Of course I was mortified, and had to substitute my beloved swing with that of another.

I jumped on, pulled backward and kicked off! It was so much fun! I have actually not been on a swing in years I'm sure.... I went higher and higher, and higher, this is quite an accomplishment for a girl who is terrified of heights. Eventually I had to get off of the swing though because pumping made my knees ache with the pain of a thousand furies.

Thus I ran back to the yard where Nate' bike was also looking super fun. So I swiped that and hopped on... Now, I'm actually not allowed to ride bikes because of that thing in my knees, some sorta muscular imbalance disease. Lame as fuck... but anywho, I really didn't care much and went for a ride :) only around the yard and up the street a couple times, but it was nice. I spent the whole day outside too, I've not done that in a while...


I should go outside more often.

And Swing. EVERYDAY.



Ps. Might I mention when I jumped off the swings. I fell!
