this week has definitely been bittersweet.

"I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself."

earlier this morning i was writing about my best friend, my dream about her last night, and how shes moving (it was a pretty good and emotional post, and it took me all morning), but my mom got on the computer im using and closed all my windows. now shes mad at me because im mad at her. im also mad at the fact that adults cant seem to figure out technology. ;-) i asked her why she didnt just minimize the windows, and she said she didnt know how to. ITS RIGHT NEXT TO THE "CLOSE" BUTTON. haha. 

thatza pic of me and my friend maria. (not the girl who's moving.) this crappy webcam picture has nothing to do with my post, but it makes me happy and i love it!! im the blonde with the nerd glasses, shes the gorgeous, dark-haired, smiling one. :-))) my bestayy.

okayy, i know the photo's really small, but it stubbornly refuses to get bigger. but thats me in the tiny picture. that's my dress for my solo i've probably talked your ear off about. i lovee it.
i know i haven't posted in FOREVER. im soooo sorry. i give my sincere apologies. life has been so complicated and at the same time so simple. i couldn't find the time to get online and post, even though i had all the time in the world. i don't know why im using past-tense. life is still the same.
im really getting sick of it, this endless roller coaster ride of physical and emotional pain and happiness. the tracks are so different and yet the same, if that makes any sense at all. guys. friends. happiness. family. strength. confidence. those are the reasons why i'm still riding. but if one of those tracks crack, things can get a little bumpy.

despite the fact that it's a monday today, im soooooo happy. i just had a dance competition in san antonio with my team and we did awesome! :-D we were there all weekend. we got to skip school on friday to register at the hotel, go to the riverwalk, and go shopping at the mall. we took a barge tour and our boat broke halfway through the tour, so we had to have another boat come and switch us out.
