So on Sunday my mom had the bright idea to invite over her old friend form college or wherever they met. This woman has a super nice and chill husband, but her daughter is interesting to say the least. Her daughter's name is McKayla, but they call her MiMi for some odd reason. So MiMi is in 3rd grade I'm pretty sure, and she just LOVES to talk. She was actually pretty shy in the beginning but once she opened up man there was no stopping that mouth of hers! She is extremely into scary movies, even though she's only nine. It was kind of creepy. I was just sitting there and she starts asking all these questions like, "Have you seen Insidious?! I have it was great! How 'bout Nightmare on Elm Street!? The House at the End of the Street?!(I did tell her that my dear friend Lizzie Prall explained the whole plot to me and she made me tell her, ugh) Paranormal Activity?! BLAH BLAH BLAH for the next like half an hour! She was starting to scare me like what the heck how do you know all of these movies?! What do you do in your free time!? Why are you obsessed with possessions?! And more importantly why are you at my house! Now she knows where I live! Ahhhhhh!!! She is crazy, and not in a good way. She also watches Doctor Who with her friend(I think that's it) and I was like I think someone in my class watches that too! Chris don't you? I was like oh maybe I'll check it out! She was like oh my gosh I wouldn't if I were you. It's super scary, and graphic. I was like oh well I don't know I think I could handle it. She was seriously advising me not to watch this show. I'm like, okay I'm in eighth grade I think I can handle it honey. She asked me if I could do a backbend and I said yeah, and she made me show her. So i went down and then stood up from one and she started to like freak. She is the worst gymnast I've ever seen, she's pretty terrible and she made me try to help her. She like wants to be good but I don't think she realizes just how bad she is. She wanted to do a front handspring in my bedroom! I was like eh well maybe we could try that later.....I'm so glad that night is over, hopefully my mom won't invite them again but she just loves that friend of hers so I don't know....Aw man I will see that girl in my nightmares tonight :0
Man oh man. Lately I have NOT been getting enough sleep!! I end up being ready for bed at a semi decent time, but I'm trying to finish this book Safe Haven(sorry I can't figure out to underline/italicize on my iPod) and I end up reading some of it and I just can't put it down! I really do not read, like ever. But my mom got me this book and my friend, and Marisa's twin, Elaina told me it was really good, so I thought I'd give it a try! It turns out that it is actually really good! I'm really trying hard to finish it by this Monday so I can go and see the movie. I'm already on page 160 and I've only read it for like three nights! That is amazing for me! So I get into bed and I think, I have to finish this book! I have to finish it! So I end up staying up really late because I read as slow as a turtle!! Then the next morning I'm super tired and I regret it! But then night rolls around again and I do it all AGAIN! I can't stop! It's never ending! It is a horrible cycle and I can't stop it. So now I just deal with getting little sleep every night! It is what it is and I can't do anything about it. I am so close to falling asleep right now...It's taking everything in me(not to call you!! Only Taylor Swift fans will understand) to stay awake right now. I know that if I fall asleep I won't be able to fall asleep later tonight when I really need to! Well this is me complaining...I hope I have a dream tonight! Wouldn't that be fun? Okay I have to go.. Bye now!!
I'm not sure if all of you are aware but I have abnormally weak ankles. This is an extremely huge problem for me because of the number of sports I am involved in. I find myself constantly rolling and spraining both of my ankles, but recently my right one. I have super sturdy ankle supports for basketball and volleyball. They don't allow my ankle to roll in the slightest. My ones for soccer aren't as restricting because I have to be able to have more movement in my ankle to shoot, pass, etc. So the Lincoln volleyball team had a bonding hangout thing(I don't know) and we went to Anna's house to watch Pitch Perfect. Side note: that movie is DA BOMB! I was just casually jogging over to her couch when suddenly I collapsed and hit the floor! My and had randomly given out on me and I half sorta sprained it but not really. It was more of a weird snap/bend. That is exactly what happened to me in the Lincoln vs Emerson game when I tore a ligament in my ankle. It was throbbing for so long but I didn't want to put a damper on the party so I sucked it up and pretending like I was fine...for then. I have been icing it and its a little swollen but I'll live. I had a basketball game today and I didn't know if I should play but I decided to anyways because I didn't want to let my team down and my ankle braces did help. I was still in pain so my coach didn't play me as much but I'm still glad I went. After paying for all of that physical therapy and my ankles are still getting injured. Maybe it's because I haven't done my exercises in two months but whatever...maybe I should start doing those again...well sorry to bore you on all my problems week after week but there's nothing else to talk about! Have a heck of a week people!
