oh lordy....i'm so mad at myself for not updating. SOOOOOOOO much has been going on. okay well this will be a long entry. and i get to start with...NEW YORK CITY! oh man that was just amazing. i love going to the city. I went for my birthday this time, so all of this is a major part of my birthday gift. I woke up early and me and my family went downtown to the bus station. ipod ready, i listened to music the whole ride up. we got up and had a few hours until the show so we walked around. we mostly stayed around times square. we ate lunch at mamma sbarros, which was really good, and i got a cookie at some bakery. i also spotted this music store up there and i ended up buying a billy joel book, and sheet music for the bohemian rhapsody, which, by the way, sounds amazing on piano. we also went in to a bunch of other awesome stores. once it was finally time for the show at 2:00, we went in and sat in our seats. the seats were amazing!!!!!! 3rd row, right of center. i could actually here the dancers sometimes. Incase you don't know what show i'm talking about, it was Movin' Out. All of the music is Billy Joel stuff. That show was SO amazing! i loved it. especially the scene with We Didn't Start the Fire. Yeah I was dying to see that show and i'm so glad i did. i loooooved it. anyway, after the show, we went out for my birthday dinner and Bubba Gumps Shrimp Company. That was really good food. and our table was right next to the window, 3 stories up viewing times square. I had shrimp, of course, for dinner. 17 pieces along iwth some fries. i completely cleared my plate down to the last fry. then dessert, wow was that spectacular. It came in a pan. now the pan, was all a huge chocolate chip cookie still warm from the oven and then there was vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, carmel, and chocolate syrup. i finsihed that all by myself too. i really enjoyed my dinner. by then, it was about time to go so we made our way back to the bus station. we must have had confused looks on our faces because some homeless man who lived there decided to help us. he took us up to the ticket machine, got our tickets, took us to the elevator, and showed us to exactly where our bus would be coming. he was a cool guy. While we were waiting for the bus, we ended up talking to some guy. He was sorta old, and a millionaire. He went to major concerts and shows at least once a week and the stories he had to tell were really neat. on the way home, i listened to my ipod again, and thats about it. i guess theres no more to say...but that was such an awesome birthday gift! sunday, i'm so sure i did something but i just can't remember what the hell it was. well....mayabe i'll figure it out eventually? monday tuesday and wednesday were all just school days, with field hockey of course. thursday, october 6th, was my birthday. I am now 16 years old!! yay! it started off as a normal day...watching the time in geometry turn to 8:04 so i could sing happy birthday to myself in my head. then i was going ot music theory, and as usualy i see erin. but today, erin had balloons for me along with a gaint hershey chocolate bar. the balloons were all neon colors and she wrote all over them. i looked pretty carrying them around. they also got me like..3x as many happy birthdays too. and many of the field hockey girls screamed it across the hall to me which was quite funny. so 4th period rolled along and i'm sitting in trumbles, balloons at my feet, waiting for the bell to ring, when along comes ms. erin gruber once more. as mr. trumble looks at me and laughs, erin runs into the closet and rips out more balloons. (and kit kat bars wich my dog ate, wrappers and all) So i got a bunch more awesome balloons and an attempted singing or happy birthday from mr. trumble. so after trumbles class, i had to walk allllll the way across the school to my locker and found out balloons don't fit in these mental lockers we own. so i walked into wagners room and asked her if i could keep them there. After asking me if they go up, with a series of hand motions, she allowed me to keep them there for the rest of the day. so i continued to lunch where i open up my brown bag and recieve a card, a ton of confetti, and a HUGE chocolate bar from my mom. i shared my lunch and was all happy. yeah the next for periods were the same and then we had biology last. Justin Ponce is in my bio class, and he felt rather special that he remembered my birthday so he got the entire class to sing to me. haha wow...funny stuff. thats my school day. soooo we also had an away game in jackson just like last year. it started to pour during the varsity game, but me erin and paige all loyal stayed out to watch while the rest of the team sat on the bus. they lost. but then it was our turn. and that but must have made you thought we won but don't let it fool you, we lost too. i don't really care though..it was still all fun. i got home, finally, at 7:00 and we picked up my yia yia and da on the way home. i took a speedy shower and then ate my birthday dinner of salmon. then i got to open gifts. my yia yia and da gave me $100 and a cool little beanie baby dude. From my mom dad and brother i got a neat fuzzy soft warm housecoat, a halloween shirt, a bunch of amazingly awesome earings, and pajama bottoms. oh yeah i remeber sunday now too. the bought me a bunch of things for my halloween village. i think that was sunday. i have a crazy halloween village. anyway back to my birthday. i tried to stay awake cause i was VERY tired and i sorta did. after my yia yia and da left, i did my homework, and then (oh yeah, i got a happy birthday call from my nana too) i finally collapsed into bed and slept. friday...school, game against brick and we won 4 nothing. 3 goals by hickey and one by paige! sat.was my mommy's college graduation. it was in trenton and it was in a really neat building. the graduation was really neat and it was coolt o see my mom up there. aftert hat, we ate at mastoris diner and that was really good food. that was basically the whole day. sunday was my family party! my mom dad and brother were there of course, and my aunt, uncle, cousins kelly and tommy, and erin also came. yeah we soo ate amazing chocolate cake from stop and shop too. man o man i loved that cake. we also had cheese burgers, mac and cheese with bacon, chicken, and a ton of other things. yeah my aunt and uncle and them got me a smores maker thing but it was broken so they're gonna replace it, kelly made me some lovely drawings too. one is about how amazing she is and the other one is about getting stoned. i'm so hanging them up in my room. yeah and my nana gave me a really pretty necklace and stationary like stuff and a picture frame. erin also gave me more candy (hershey kisses) and these really cool earrings.we all basically just hung around my house. got a phone call from brittany too. thats about it. yeah so this week is where i am currently at. this week brought tons and tons of rain. so field hockey has been cancelled like..allllll week. there was no school on monday due to columbus day, but there was a field hockey practice or course. tuesday was supposed to be our north game but it got cancelled for JV and freshman but there was still the varsity game. since me and eirn had nothing better to do, we hopped on their bus and went to their game in the rain. yeah..it was actually fun. i also went to the gym cause there was no practice. wednesday, practice was cancelled due to the rain. sooooo i was all chillin at my house, confused with no field hockey to occupy me. oh yeah..there were PSAT's in school too. i failed math. woohoo. suprise suprise. thursday, no school for yom kipur or whatever it was. that jewish holiday. anyway, my alarm went of at 7:30 for 8:00 practice and i saw it was raining, so i shut it off and slept till 12. i basically hung around my house all day. i went to the gym again too due to the lack of practice. friday...look i'm at today!! okay so the game was cancelled due to rain again...and so is tomorrows. and i have a feeling mondays will be too even if it isnt raining cause the field will be muddy. yeah anyway, school was boring. nobody did anything cause it was like..just one day of school. i went to the movies before with danielle, brittany, and christina. we saw elizabethtown. it was long, but good. and for the first time in my life, i could see why people say orlando bloom is hot. yeah i finished! i few tidbits for you though. i got my first letter from a pen pal. it was from my pen pal in England. it was pretty cool. i wrote back. i got a few new shirts. i still have not recieved my FH sweats and i want them. yeah, that secret mentioned in the last entry, its still lingering around. my life is going to spiral downwards with things to do once field hockey ends. i need to find more things to do now. i've been wanting a really good hug from a while now...i'm not sure why. music is amazing. except when i have to sing alone in music theory. i can't sing! i typed a hell of a lot. all done.
