So, first week of senior year...

was NOTHING like I expected it would be. It just kind of felt like I was still a junior. That made me really frustrated and on top of the lackluster start to my last year in high school, I was horribly misled by my counselor. I thought I was going to be her office aid but, it turns out that the public service class at my school, which basically used to be like a teacher's aid thing, is now an actual class.

I JUST WANNA FEEL LIKE A SENIOR!

And so it begins...

The long, seemingly never-ending interviews for Golden Boy Michael Phelps.



The funniest part: Brian Williams & Michael Phelps calling Lil Wayne "Weezy"



Have fun,

Recap over the past few days...

For so reason, whenever I was away from a computer great comments and thoughts ran through my mind that like a mile a minute and I felt that I should write them down. So now, I have like four sticky notes worth of random ideas. lol. So, please bear with me these are all my random comments and thoughts...
It all started on August 15th,
-SWIMMING
^ Exhilirating Phelps/Lochte match-up in 200m IM
^ Lochte victory over Peirsol in the 200m Backstroke

- GYMNASTICS individual all-around women's
*Liukin was amazing especially with her stuck landing
*Olympic scoring in gymnastics-> SEVERELY FLAWED! Especially in Balance Beam.
*Didn't stop the US girls though. Liukin got the GOLD and Johnson got the SILVER.

- SWIMMING Pt. II
^Is it just me, or did NBC have a little too much fun setting up the Crocker-Phelps match up in the 100m Butterfly? I mean I was watching the set up, and I got chills (I know, who gets chills from that? Well, to answer your question, I do. =]) It sounded like one of those epic movies. Add a catchy title, and you've got yourself a potential blockbuster.
^But, it was just as epic as they advertised. However, not with the who you think.
^->PHELPS GOLD #7-> Was amazing! So close of a race between Serbia's Cavic and Phelps that for a moment, I and probably the entire world, held our breath.

^DARA TORRES QUALIFIES AND WINS SILVER!!! WOOHOO!!
^GOLD #8----> 4x100m medley Relay was absolutely nerve wracking to watch. I was on the edge of my seat!
I WAS AROUND TO SEE OLYMPIC HISTORY HAPPEN!!!!!! YAY ME!

It's 2 A.M. now,so, NIGHT!

And The Pressure Mounts!

Hello all!
=D



[The Cube in Beijing,China]


Well, as many may know,since the Olympics started, I can't seem to stop watching. I guess you could say I've become an "Olympaholic". lol. And the event that I've found so exciting and nerve wracking to watch would have to be the Swimming. Every time I watch that event, it's like a guaranteed heart attack. Especially with the amount of expectations and excitement surrounding the sport because of what Michael Phelps is trying to do (the straight 8 gold medals) and the trash talking that the French were doing before the 4x100 m free relay. And now, the pressure is mounting on Phelps as he goes for his 6th gold tonight in the 200 IM. And perhaps, his biggest competition in this event would be fellow US Olympic Swimmer, Ryan Lochte. I'm rooting for both, but for the sake of the record breaking, I hope it's Phelps. Lochte will go up against Aaron Peirsol in an event before he goes for the gold against Phelps. The pressure is also mounting for the two US Olympic Gymnasts Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin as they compete for the gold in the all around tonight.

Hoping we bring home more gold tonight,

Another one!

Wow! Just wow!
This has been amazing!
Another World Record for America!
I mean, for anyone who saw that, don't you think it was unbelievable how they had to pan out the camera just to see the other countries' swimmers.
The story here besides the amazing world record is that this is gold medal number eleven in his career for Michael Phelps.
He's still got three more races to go if he wants to beat Mark Spitz' record of seven gold medals in one Olympic game.



I'm done for now, more will come soon,
Little Miss Mary Sunshine

I just saw history in the making!

It was amazing!
I just saw Michael Phelps make Olympic history earning his tenth gold medal surpassing many historic Olympians including Mark Spitz. It was absolutely amazing!


More to come!

8.8.08

Friday night, the 2008 Olympics opened with a wonderfully amazing spectacle that ended with someone repelling off the walls of the stadium and lighting of that gigantic torch.
I wasn't really into the excitement of the Olympics until we swept women's saber or fencing. That's when I went into full blown Olympics mode. I think I've seen more olympic events in the past three days than I have seen in my entire life. I mean, I even watched a little of handball. HANDBALL! I didn't even know it was an actual Olympic sport until today.
The one event though, that made me almost as nervous/anxious and obnoxious [as my family would say. I have a tendency to get a little loud.=)] when I was watching it was the 4x100 meter freestyle relay. It was so close by the time Jason Lezak was on his last 50 meters, that I was holding my breath when both the US and France seemingly touched the wall. That was just an amazing win!

Even as I'm writing this, I'm watching mens field hockey, Great Britain v. Pakistan.


I'm sure I'll be writing more about the Olympics...maybe.

Now...

That I am out of my I-just-woke-up haze I have many more things to write about.
First things first,
BREAKING DAWN: I am close to finishing book two which was in Jacob's point of view, and I thought I wouldn't like it very much because I am not exactly a fan of Jacob. [Team Edward all the way!]But I really felt for him and I thought he was really funny. Especially with all the blonde jokes. lol
Second things second,
RED SOX: They've been doing well since they traded Manny Ramirez and acquired Jason Bay. I mean in the last few games (I'm thinking 6 games? I can't be sure) they've only lost once. But, only time will tell.
And finally,
GAVIN DEGRAW: I've been waiting for a very very long time for him to tour around South Florida but no luck. =[
I really REALLY wanna go see him live. REALLY.
I mean look at this --->

I wouldn't want to miss that.

I guess that's all,
Little Miss Mary Sunshine

Fragile Future

I got the new Hawthorne Heights CD yesterday and haven't stopped playing it. I thought from listening to their new single "Rescue Me", they had gone softer in their sound. But, when I listened to it all, they were the same band they always have been with the exception, of course, of notable screaming. [not sure explaining myself well. word vomit= horrible]
My favorite songs have to be:
*Four Becomes One
*The Business of Paper Stars
*Come Back Home

Really out of it today,
Little Miss Mary Sunshine

Stephanie Meyer is an evil genius!

Just kidding about the evil part. =]

But the genius part is completely true. I have been a huge fan of the Twilight series since the beginning of it all and I've loved every book. [Well, maybe I didn't like the second book at the beginning so much. lol] I'm only on book two of Breaking Dawn,so yeah, just to sing my praises.
=]

It's on until the "Breaking Dawn" [I know...LAME!]

Looking on the bright side

Okay, so I come bearing very good news!

The first piece of good news is the RED SOX WON 2-1 v. the Oakland A's. And I couldn't be happier! This makes my first impression of new acquisition Jason Bay so much more favorable. I've got a good feeling about the rest of the season.
=]

And the other piece of good news (Assuming, the rumors were true of course) is that there might be a possibility of a reconciliation between Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams. And I know for a fact I am not alone in this when I say "YAY!!!!". I loved them together and as much as what I am going to write sounds cheesy and like the very teenage girl that I am, They belong together!
