Democratic National Convention

Last night, while I was asleep, the Democratic National Convention met and debated and discussed. Hilary released her deleagtes and turned her support over to Obama. I must say, out of the three (Hilary, Obama, and McCain) I was a Clinton supporter, even if she does believe in abortion and gay marriage, youjust have to believe that God will come through and out obstacles in the way of those things. Anyway, I am a bit dissapointed, I thought she would be more stubborn than that. I have a suspicion that Obama may have a supernatrual power over her, but I also believe that Hilary is not stupid. This is not the last of Hilary Rodham Clinton, she will be back. And I think.. That just may be a good thing.

I remember being eight years old and seeing girls at Wal-Mart or church and thinking "I want to look like them when I grow up." It went beyond that, of course. I also wanted to sound as smart as them when I talked, or walk the same way. (I don't think that a lot of high schoolers realize how much they impact elementary school kids by simply being.) Now, I have come to realize, I am one of them. It's an amazing revelation. I have, today and yesterday, spent the first two days of the the four years that I will be in that high school. And with that comes a sense of pride and realization.
Okay, switching gears, back to that memory from when I was eight. Only now I'm twelve. (Confusing, I know.) I watched movies and TV shows, I read books that made high school sound like a HUGE deal. In shows like Degrassi, (and several other peices of media that I can't quite recall the names of) there were always different crisises. And that makes me realize.. some point in hgih school.. I will face some kind of major dilema. Whether it's personal.. or at home.. or at school with friends or a boyfriend. It's scary. But at the same time it's comforting to know that in no way is high school the end of the world. That's what the TV shows, books, and movies don't teach you. There is life afterwards, for most. (God, bless those who jhave had the misfortune to deal with school shootings) And it is also comforting to know me, and know that I will survive (cue theme music, *dances*). As long as I keep my eyes on the goal, remeber my friends, and stay true to my Jesus I will survive.

It has been awhile since I've blogged. Well, two or three weeks and I had only posted two before that. But still. I have big news. In that short amount of time, I went to fifth grade camp as a counselor, I got a new computer, went to Warped Tour, turned fifteen, went to a Breaking Dawn release party, and I'm getting ready to go to a four to five day trip to northern Indiana with Elizabeth. Everything was so fun. I will list one or two of the best things from each event.

• Camp-launching water baloons with and without the kids, eating Taco Bell after midnight, (okay, a third) playing extreme spoons.
• new computer- (I know, it IS sad that this is a major event in my life) I now have Vista. which, by the way, isn't as crappy so far as everyone says it is.
• Warped Tour- seeing We The Kings live. They are some fo the best performers I have ever had the oppourtunity to see. And their songs are amazing. My friend and I split up from the rest of the group to see them spcifically and it was by far the best experience of the day. I'm totally buying their album.
• my birthday- spending the day with two of my best friends, Luke and Elizabeth and then getting presents.
• Breaking Dawn release party- haha. It was definitely hiding from the rest of the group with Chelsea.

So that's what I have been up to. Check me out later.
