Love his music

Picture this: September 19th 2012, homecoming week at school, a bus full of sweaty and tired cross country runners pulls up outside just a boys volleyball game starts up inside, and two teenage girls get off discussing a musician that had been at the school earlier in the day when they look at one of the painted doors of the school and see that he's playing at the Reif in half an hour. That's how I stumbled upon Jacob Fannin. Truth be told, I didn't want to go, but my best friend Bailey did. Why did I not want to see him? Simple, I was mad that he hadn't been there to see the marching band. Yes, it's stupid, but when Gundy told us at practice that morning (this year we offered marching band as a class, this way we could practice every morning in edition to our regular practice) that we'd have some musician here who'd watch our show, and play some music for us. But I went, because Bailey had heard him during choir and her and Autumn loved him, and I didn't feel like going home. I sure changed my mind about him once I heard him sing, plus I found him attractive ;). 
Ever since then we have been infatuated with him. His voice is amazing, and the best part is that it's his natural voice. He doesn't edit it or anything like most "stars" these days. His songs mean something, there not about getting laid, drinking, drugs, or anything of the sort. They're about life, love and not letting things get you down or keep you down. At least  that's how I interpret them, maybe you interpret them differently. That's the beautiful thing about music, not everyone who listens to it will have the same opinion about it. Music effects everyone differently. For example: his song Bullet Proof has, at times, made me cry, and my friends haven't (well, as far as I know).Another reason I like him is that he loves what he does. How can you not like, if not respect, someone who pursues their dreams?
It turns out that it was his birthday when he came. We wished him a happy birthday. Me and Bailey went up and talked to him after wards and it was so funny, because I introduced her as my ginger best friend Bailey, and she introduced me as her black best friend Julianna. We're riot us two!
I'm currently planning out a thing for this summer where he comes and does a house concert for us. See, it started with me sending him a message to see if he's be able to come back again, and he told me he'd only be able to if he it was for the school again or a house concert. I inquired about a concert and I've been discussing it with my friends. I think we're doing it, though I told him I couldn't give him a definite answer until  Sunday (tomorrow). At this point even I don't know if it's a go, I'm waiting for everyone to get back to me on whether or not they really are in. So I guess we'll find out tomorrow!

JNQ at Mt. Itasca

Yes, I did another JNQ race, and this time it was at home. The day before the race I had a high school one. It was our first (and only) pursuit of the season and man was it a sad one. Most of the time either couldn't make it or was sick. Maggie showed up and wound up just going home. The two of us went out to do a warm up/see the course ski and after the first hill she was dying. That weekend she had an uber high fever and was just sick. I went and did the first race and just had to puke the entire time. Afterwards I did wind up puking a couple of times, and decided that I just shouldn't do the second race. Even though I was sick Friday I still decided to race on Saturday.I did the women's 5k and think I did decently. It was a tough course, well mostly it was just a tough beginning. This is what we did; the right horseshoe into the swamp loop, up the switch back climbed all the way up the way, did a loop up top, went down part of bunny hill connected to the service road,...

Breakups

Well this is a sad a post. I'm sorry for that, feel free to just skip this one. Go on, move on to another happier one. It's okay with me. Just get out of here. Go find a love story. We might as well start with Autumn and Calvin. They dated for over a year and were the first one's in our group to actually date. They made a cute couple with their every Saturday dates, and nicknames, and whatnot. We all thought they'd be the next DAndy (Dan and Andie, a couple from our school who started dating in 8th grade and are still together going into their second year of college. And yes, they go to the same college), but apparently not. Calvin started being a real jerk, and Autumn wasn't putting up with that. The rest is history. Then there was the double whammy of Bailey and Max, and Jake and I. Both in one day...ya... It wasn't planned, and neither knew about the other until later. The weirdest part is that both happened at the same time. The day started out with me a...

Mother's Day

So today is Mother's Day, but my mom just went back to work. (She's been on medical leave because of a stress fracture in her leg. She couldn't wait to get back to work and so on Thursday when she got the go ahead, she got herself scheduled for 12 hour days all weekend. It's like she was never here again.) So instead if the usual breakfast in bed, which she winds up throwing a fit about anyways, I've cleaned the house. That doesn't sound like much, but the boys are such pigs that the house is always nasty. My mom is like OCD, and can't stand it. So coming home to a clean house will be much appreciated. If it stays clean that is. Not even 5 minutes after I finished cleaning the living room/dining room area it was somewhat messy. Squirt had dumped out the entire sock bag all over the living room, there were a pair of dirty shoes on the arm of the couch belonging to my 21 yr old brother Josh who should know better by now and a jacket on the ground. Normally I...
