lol. yeah my family luvs that one...













on 2 not so great notes, I can't find my camera...and I can't remember what the second "note" was...dang it.

ANBERLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So on Sunday I went to Cassie's house and we did stuff and we were talking about bands and stuff and Anberlin came up. Well I luv Anberlin, and she happened to have their new CD- Cities. so I borrow it and I've been listening to it along with Something Corporate, Jacks Mannequin, Great Northern, Dashboard Confessional, Boy Kill Boy, Fall Out Boy, Rediscover, Blue October and 30 seconds to mars. So I'm not so crazy about Fall Out Boy, but I'm listening to them anyway.

So out of those band the top five are-

Anberlin
Something Corporate
Jacks Mannequin
30 Seconds to mars
Blue October

For those who have no idea about any of the bands I've listed...I'm sorry for you cause they are all great bands.

Great Northern I just found on Itunes. Its the free single of the week. It's not bad.


ok for those who have never heard Anberlin here are 2 songs of theirs from the CD Cities. One is upbeat and fast and the other is kinda slow and if you're not crazy about either of these, I'm gonna eventually put up all their songs...except maybe fin...-



this song is called Godspeed-




and this next one is called Inevitable-(oh and they only have like 1 slow song on the whole CD)






yeah...good songs

THAT IS WICKED AWESOME! so Julia's like whats that? and it was either me or Joey who's like "bekah will post a video" so here I am posting a video of parkour thats wicked awesome! or 2 vids...they're wicked!




CORRETION- NOELLE SAID THAT I'D PUT THE VIDEOS ON MY BLOG.

parkour is not the flips...gymnastics is. Parkour is getting where you wanna go in the shortest time possible

HAPPY MOMMYS DAY!!!!

not quite 2 weeks

ok i messed up. Its not in 2 weeks. Its in June sometime. I dunno the exact date, but mini olympics isn't in 2 weeks.


anyway so last night I went to gymnastics (open gym) and I suffered 5 new injuries. both ankles, my left elbow and both hands. hehe. I'll show ya tonight.

here is Carly Patterson on Beam(definetly the scariest events-




so I borrowed Something Corporate from Joey and this is one of my favorite songs on the CD NORTH..maybe cause it's so dark.. I dunno. it's called "me and the moon

2 weeks my dear, 2 weeks

in 2 weeks(i'm pretty sure thats right) I have mini olympics. I can't mount a beam, and I don't have the energy to do 4 routines in a row. bars. beam. floor. tramp. though I can do my bar routine almost perfectly. I can make my back hip circle on high bar and land my flyaway...not that this makes sence to anyone but me and gia. anyway...a flyaway is a back flip off the bar. I cant mount a friggen beam!!! and I can't do a front walkover on beam to save my life! gosh. and on top of all that-my coach is an idiot and a jerk. his name is Ram(lol) and he's always making fun of me. and showing off. There was this joke with my class mates that he thought I was hot. it was my hair. Red hair to him means fire which means a whole lot of jokes. gosh I don't like him. cyall this friday

The olsen twins

I didn't mean the famous olsen twins, I meant the unfamous olsen twins. There are these 2 girls in my region who's last name is Olsen..and they're twins. it's great. lol. scroll down.

This Far and no Farther

listening to- baby it's fact by hellogoodbye


So I got the title of this post from a chapter in a book called Shadow in the Deep(3rd book in the Binding of the blade series by LB Graham). The chapter has one of teh main characters shouting, "This Far and no farther you shall come!" to the enemy or something like that.

So that was last weekend for me. This far and no farther. Regionals but not Nationals. So is this the end of my public speaking career? haha. HECK NO! For NCFCA, most likely, but for life and other venues, definetly NOT.

Onto what happened this weekend

Thursday early morning we left for FA. Go there, spoke, Didn't go teribly well..w8ed..spoke again, went to the hotel, went into the lobby ofthe hotel only to find a bunch of people from the tourney playing chess or eating or talking or watever. I claimed to be horrible at chess and they wanted me to prove it. I did.(lol) eventually we all went to bed

Friday- Spoke, waited, spoke, played wooden solitaire, mafia, did gymnastics(got injured) and later went to the mall afterwards(where I got flipflops, socks and horrid nailpolish), went to hotel, watched chess games, talked got on computer and then went to bed

Saturday-Sat around, talked to ppl, took pics, sat around..listened to more speaches and debate(which was rather amusing), talked to ppl..comforted ppl who didn't break, congratulated those who did, got hit on by Levi Payne..again, got a very strong urge to punch Levi Payne..again, walked around, listened to breaks, didn't break, walked around..again, took pictures, said "I'm never goin to see you again so bye!" :( or something like that. ate then left.

As Noah Oberlander always said, "Do your best and let God do the rest" Well I didn't to my best this weekend and I know it. But this is how it is to be...

In the grand scheme of things I'm ok..but for now I'll be ok..eventually. I say eventually because I just like everyone else at the tourneys I worked hard and I LOVE public speaking and apparently I'm good at it to. It's one one of those things that I can't give up without a fight.



2 Things I'm gonna miss the most about speech- The adrenaline rush of giving a speech, but mostly all the friends I've made. i have some pretty awesomating friends from speech..The woodruff girls, the olsen twins, JD Farh, Christine orsini, Noah Oberlander, David Umstaatd, Emilie Lewis, Emily Pickering, Emilie Eastman, and I really got to knwo Megan Ring finally..




Hello speech! will you be my best friend??
Goodbye speech it's hard to let you go but I'm glad I met you for the skills you taught me will remain with me and help me for the rest of my life. Thanks

There's a 60% Chance You've Been Abducted By Aliens

Maybe you've really been abducted by aliens... but probably not. Let's face it. You're just a little weirder than most people.

What Are the Chances that You've Been Abducted by Aliens?

It's like I wish I had never gotten involved with it so it wouldnt' hurt so bad but in the long run i'm glad I did. like meeting people that you lose/ Wish I didn't meet them so I wouldn't feel the pain of loss but I know I'm glad I did.

End of the world? heck no. Life has just started. :D

You must make changes".
