Famous Person

If I could meet any famous person that I wanted it would probably be Chris Barnes.  He is one of the best bowlers, and I feel that if you would meet him on the side of the street he would be the same person and have the same character qualities as if he was bowling with you.  He helps out a lot with youth bowlers and gives quite a lot back to the community from what I have read.  It would be quite an honor to meet him in person.

March is Reading Month!

My favorite children is I'll Love You Forever.  It is my favorite children's book because my mom used to read it to me as I fell asleep each night, and it would always calm me down if I was having a bad day.  Going back and reading it today makes me really sad and choked up because of all the memories that are in that book for my family. 

Teenagers today just do not like to read because it is not something visibly entertaining like a video game or a computer.  You have to actually use your IMAGINATION while reading, which is something that children of today's society has lost a grasp on.  I admit that I am one of the those kids, partially because I do enjoy video games, but also because I have no time to fit reading into my busy schedule.  To get teenagers interested in reading once more I believe it would take all parents to take away game systems or buy magazines or books that are involved in what these kids play.  I know for a fact that there are books that incorporate video game characters.

My biggest Pet Peeve

My biggest pet peeve is when I am at the bowling alley and people do not use common courtesy when they are on the lanes.  What I am talking about is when people rush up to the lanes and do not wait for another bowler that was previously up to bowl.  I get very annoyed and upset, but I just sit back patiently and wait for this rude person to be done with their frame.  Nothing grinds my gears more than those instances.

Friends

When I usually make a friend it is because they have the same interests as me.  They would have to play video games, possibly play the same sport, joke about the same things I would and generally be nice to me.  That is how I have always met my friends and it has worked out very well so far.  There is not a set number of friends that I have, everyone is usually my friend because I am friendly to them.  I only have a couple of best friends though that know me very well and it is that way because I am not a very open person, I am usually quiet around a crowd of people and open towards friends. Not everyone on Facebook is my "friend" it is just the idea of adding acquaintances around the school that you pass in the hallway everyday.  It is not uncommon for someone in the school to add everyone, because it is just a friendly gesture.  Who knows maybe they will become more than acquaintances after you add them. These Facebook 'friends' can really be friends if they talk to me, share with me, write on my wall, ect.

Homecoming

Another winter homecoming come and gone, it is also bittersweet because it was my last high school homecoming ever.  A week that I always look forward to, their is so much spirit and everyone seems to be more relaxed the whole week. My week was pretty exciting and stressful with a conference tournament win on Thursday and a trip to MSU on Tuesday.  I did like the theme of the mini floats being video games and all, but no one really put any effort into the float except the freshman ( Who I thought should of won, they put the most effort into their float.)  The pep assembly could of been a little bit better also, the winter pep assembly always seems to be cut short and uneventful though.  The bowling team was mentioned though and that made me happy :)!  I was disappointed in the fact that we didn't have the tradition of the Sand Creek cheer at the end.  Our senior class has probably been the only class to miss that cheer twice in the same year.  I was looking forward to it!  Nick Howard did deserve to be crowned king in my eyes, he is a pretty cool dude and a good friend.  I thought it was funny that the morning announcement crew was crowned both king and queen ( Nick and Kimmy :) ).  I did my best to dress up also, some days were very hard though, I have no animal print clothing of any kind.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is tomorrow the one holiday that people are allowed to share a full day of love with everyone.  I think that this holiday is exactly built up for the Hallmark cards and the conversation candies, it is not blown out of proportion at all.   I think it is important to have this holiday even if you share it alone, because their is always someone that will love you, a brother, a sister, parents or grandparents.  Even if you don't have that someone "special" you will always be loved on this holiday and for a day to show that, it is just awesome. If you want your mother or father to be your valentine then you can.  There is no rule that says your parents can't be a valentine.

The Sand Creek Rock N Bowl

Well, as you can tell by the title the Sand Creek Bowling fundraisier was this past weekend! It was an awesome turn out and everyone that went had an awesome time.  The highest game was rolled by myself with a 286, not bad but it was also a 300.  We had food from ZZ's and pop, door prizes were also given away but unfortunately I did not win a single one.  After Lenawee Recreation took their portion of money we were left over with probably $800, which I will call a good night!  All in all it was a very fun time and anyone who did not go missed a great time!
