Now that I am my favorite number

Hey! Hey! Hey! Its Fat Alex! The first person to say where I got that from gets a special blog suprise. Today(I wrote this on Monday), practice was not fun. We did 2 300s, 2 200s, and 3 150s... fast. For Valentines Day Julia needed help writing a poem for her friend. Of course we helped, so I get to take some credit for it. I actually came up with the line that got the whole thing going. We put it at the end to give it a good finish.

If I were a zebra, I'd be your pants,
so you can wear me while you dance.

If I were a leopard I'd be made into a top,
so your boobs won't go flippity flop.

If I were a racoon, I'd be made into a hat,
so you can wear me on your head, fancy that.

If I were a fox I'd be the scarf around your neck,
to keep you warm, Jiggity Jeck.

If I were an Alligator I'd be made into your boots,
so I could match all your gucci suites.

If I were a snake i'd be a wallet for your money,
to be in your pocket near your big honey bunny.

If i were a horse I'd be made into glue,
so I can forever stick to you.

Comments? Concerns? Words of wisdom?

Today is now Wednesday. I had a great birthday. When I woke up in the morning there were presents on the sink counter and post-it notes that said
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
19
WHOOP
WHOOP
My friends got me some crazy shades to wear to the track meets and some new black converse. Over all my entire day was really good. We went to Applebees to celebrate because it was Keena's brthday too. I had a really great time. After, a few of us went the dorm and ate the cake that Jessica made for me. It was pretty good. I really missed my family and starfish though.

15 days till 19

Hello Hello. I hope everyone is doing well. I went to church this morning, and I trust that you all did the same. Leah(Baptist), Julia(Catholic), Andy(Church of Christ), and I(Methodist) have formed a church hopping group. We take turns each Sunday on choosing a church. last week was Leah, this week was Andy, next week is Julia, and I am last in the rotation. We have to choose a new church each Sunday and go see what it is like. I haven't decided on mine yet, but I have time. This morning it was Mayfair Church of Christ. It is a really big CoC, so it wasn't as conservative as a lot of the smaller ones are. A kid got baptized, and people were actually allowed to clap. Andy said that is usually not allowed in CoC. The music was really good because everyone was breaking out into the different harmonies and parts because the use of instruments will send you to hell.
Friday we left for Indiana. I was in so much pain by the end of the trip. My back was killing me. When we got there, there was snow on the ground. A few of the girls were having a snowball fight. I don't like to play in snow very much. We were going to make a snowman though, but CT told us to come inside, and no more playing in the snow. :( Saturday at the meet I pretty much sucked it up. I only jumped 33' 9" (but i did get 3rd), and my 200 is not worth talking about. My body just had nothing to use yesterday. I was just dead. Both CT and Coach Cain told me to go get my iron level checked. We have a team doctor that I can go to. I hate getting blood taken.
For the rest of the day I am going to study, and then Julia and Leah are going to take me on a outing. I don't know what we are going though... they wanted to surprise me. They want to help me not be homesick. I have such good friends.

Boo Bop Bee Doo

I admit it. I am terribly homesick. I miss Mom and Dad and Danni and Luke and Cricket and Holly and Cookie and Trinity. I hated that they were not there for my track meet this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing my mom in a week at the other meet in Indiana.
I'm about to go take an ice bath. We are leaving at 1 to go to Indiana. I'm not very excited about the drive there... in vans. I have been chosen to sit in the back seat with Julia, Rebecca, and Leah. I'm not ready to be crunched in for that long.
The movie quote from last week was from the movie 300. I actually want to read the graphic novel that the movie was based off of.
I just drank some coffee, and for some reason coffee makes me sleepy.
I need Jana's address so if one of my family members would kindly e-mail it to me I would be very grateful.
I had my RA interview on Wednesday. I thought it went rather well.
Both my history teachers said they really liked my topics for my research papers. I really like them too, so I think those are going to go quite nicely.
I have a new YouTube addiction. I have watched so many videos from VlogCandy to Gene Kelly tap dancing on roller skates. I have never been a big fan of Usher, but after I saw his remake of Gene Kelly's Singing In The Rain scene he has won my heart.
