Last Day

Today was a sad, sad, day for me. It was my last day of lacrosse for the season. We had a game and it was awesome. We won 8-4 and it was fabulous. I played goalie for the first half of the game and I only let two goals in. I saved four goals as well.

I really love lacrosse. It's my favorite sport ever. That and if I ever tried soccer I'd fall on my face because I can't run and kick a ball at the same time.

Anyway, in the game, there was one player on the other team, number three. She was scary. She could run really fast and would always shoot. Not only that, but she called out a play.

At one point in the first half, while I was goalie, we got a yellow card. That means that one person on our team has to sit out for two minutes. The other team was rewarded with the ball. Number three sprinted it down the field and brought the ball to our end. Our defense was awesome considering we were playing man down. She brought it to the lower left side of the field and started yelling "Po" Everyone was confused, that is until after she shot. She shot at the goal and made it in. It had been a direct shot since she beat her defender.

After that I looked to the other side of the net and realized what happened. The play was named "Po." It was meant to draw our defense away. Their attack would run to the opposite side of the field than the ball, drawing all our defense to them. It was really smart. It was annoying though.

During the second half, I got to play attack. I didn't score any goals, but I was able to get the ball at one point. It was pretty awesome. So all in all, it was an awesome last game. We played really hard and we won the game. It was cool. Also, we got to wear our white uniforms, which are my favorite.

I'm number 21

Seeing Stars

Over the spring break, I decided I wanted to do artwork. Specifically, spray paint. If you've ever travelled to a large city, you've probably seen street artists. I'm not talking about the kind of artists who do graffiti or put chalk on the sidewalks to do those fricking amazing drawing such as:

Image from Google

I mean those street artists who take their spray paint and paper and stuff and make those awesome space scenes. They do it in, like, three minutes right in front of you. I decided I wanted to do those. So the first thing I did before I started was google how to make those. I learned pretty quickly. After that I went and got all the stuff I would need.

I went outside in the backyard (where my parents told me I had to be) and I started to spray. I think that they turned out pretty kick ass if I do say so myself. 

What do you think?

The only thing I had trouble with at first was the stars. They were pretty hard to do and not matter how many videos I watched, or articles I read, I couldn't figure out how to do them. Then, I figured out a common thing in all of the tutorials. In all of them, you flicked the white paint to make it splatter. Seeing as how I wasn't able to do that, I didn't know I would be able to do it. 

Then I figured it out. I had a paint spatula thingy. I sprayed a bunch of white onto the tip, held it over the paper, then flicked it. It worked pretty well and I soon got the hang of it. In thirty minutes, I was able to make five or six scenes. 

I really enjoy doing this, and who knows, maybe I'll be able to sell them eventually.

Boss Ass Bitch

So recently my boyfriend broke up with me. It was sad, but it inspired me! It inspired some pretty fab art work. I did a painting... Some of you might know those classic and cliche broken heart pictures that have some "deep and meaningful" quote on them... Well I did something like that... Though, it's a bit different...

*Accurate, but not actual painting...*

Ya... So I painted that... It looks pretty fab in real life. I also thought of a really funny way to give it to him if I wanted to. I was talking with Lauren and we came up with this idea. So get some cardboard and spray paint. Then we would make the cardboard look like a car using the spray paint. We would do this since none of us can actually drive...

Every Thursday, the ex-boyfriend goes to Burger King with his friends. So we were thinking that over spring break we get the "car" and go to Burger King. We hang out until he arrives, and when he does arrive, we walk up to him in the car. The entire time we would be playing the song "Boss Ass Bitch". 

So we go up to him and "roll down the window" of the "car" somehow. We look at him then be all like "I have something for you," and hand him the painting. Before he can say anything, walk away in the car. 

*Accurate*

Ya... I kinda wanna do that. I just think it would be really funny to see people's faces when we walked up in a cardboard car playing music like that... I just think that "Boss Ass Bitch" would be really funny.

Fo course I would also have to go through the drive-through in my "car". Why wouldn't I? Anyway, have a lovely day and don't be surprised if you see a cardboard car over spring break next week.

Just an Average Lunch Day...

So the average day at school, as most of you know, is quite boring (no offense teachers). Our favorite time of day (for most of us at least) is lunch. We get to sit, eat, talk with our friends, it's great. While most people have normal conversations about normal stuff, like latest gossip, boys, after school activities, ect. My friends and I, we have really odd conversations about things like sex, how we're married to one another, body modifications, piercings, ect. Also, most people sit at the tables. We personally prefer the stairs. We, to say the least, are not normal.

An average lunch for me includes Courtney sitting over there like:

And I'll be over on the other side of her like:

We'll be having one of our "normal" lunch conversations, when suddenly, a wild Terran appears!

*accurate*

Terran will then sit down in front of me and stick his entire hand in my shoe and proceed to boot rape me, as I so eloquently put it.

*I realize his eyes are blue, not green, sorry*

This has become normal for me. We have also come to the obvious conclusion that I am Terran's misstress and Courtney is obviously our daughter. My name is Sharquisha, Terran will be henceforth known only as Shaniqua, and our beautiful baby girl is Athenashaqueque.

This makes perfect sense right? 

So the other day (yesterday actually) the bell rang for fourth period. I stood up on the steps and tried to grab my stuff, but alas, I was kidnapped by a wild Shaniqua. He grabbed me and hoisted me onto his back and proceeded to run across the lunch room after everyone evacuated.

*again, I got his eyes wrong, sorry*

It was finally after me kicking his knees and Courtney over on the other side of the room like:

Was I released from his hold and sent free to go to class. This, my dear readers, is an accurate representation of my normal day at lunch.

Gathering of the Tribes

I have this lacrosse tournament thingy called Gathering of the Tribes. GOTT is basically when a bunch of high school lacrosse teams get together and battle it out to get into the championship game. JV boys vs. JV boys, JV girls vs. JV girls, Varsity boys vs. Varsity boys, and Varsity girls vs. Varsity girls. That's pretty much how it goes down. We get four games, and the championship game if we make it.

Today we had two games. Tomorrow we will have two games. It was super exciting and fun. I really enjoyed playing. The first game was awesome and we won 11-01. We kicked ass. The second game we unfortunately lost, but that was because of many factors.

The first reason was because the other team was cheating. They would push our girls onto the ground while going for a ground ball. That's very illegal in lacrosse. They would also had a lot of crease violations. A crease violation is where any player, besides the goalie, crosses into the goal crease with either her stick or body. This is how they scored their last point. They would also pull a lot more illegal moves, which was not cool on their part.

Another reason we lost was because the other team didn't have enough girls sign up this year, so their team is pretty much JV and Varsity combined. So I guess it is pretty impressive we only lost by one point.

The other reason was that the referees were being unfair. They would call our team for things that the other team did, such as illegal checking. They would also call us for everything, even if they didn't happen, while they never called the other team for anything illegal they did. It was pretty obvious that the refs were favoring the other team. I just don't think that's cool. Also, after the game, we were running towards out goalie as we usually do, and I heard one of the refs say something that was totally rude and uncalled for.

So the other team scored the first goal and I heard the ref at the end of the game say "Once they scored the first goal I knew they were going to win," So she was basically saying that she knew we were going to lose and she just went and had to be a bitch about. Within earshot. I'm sorry for ranting, but all of this just pisses me off. I hate it when teams cheat and when refs favor. It's not cool at all. Thanks for reading my rant.

This is my baby, Roosevelt.

Teton Science School Trip

So I got back from the Teton Science School today. It was amazing. I had so much fun and I really hope I can go back someday. So I'm going to give a quick synopsis of what happened over the week.

So on Monday we got to school and hopped on the bus at eight AM. We drove for five hours with only one stop the entire time. We then continued on our journey and got to TSS (Teton Science School). We dropped off our stuff outside the dorms, went to the dining hall for an introduction, and then went to the dorms for another small introduction. We put our gear into the rooms, put on our gear for outdoors, and split into our field groups that we were assigned. After that, we got cross-country skis and went out for a little practice. After that, we went to the actual track and we skied for a while. We got back, and sat around and did homework, then went to dinner. After that we went to an evening program (EP) and learned stuff. We then went back to our dorms, did homework, then went to sleep.

On Tuesday, we woke up bright and early and went to breakfast. We ate food then got ready to go out to the field. We were cross-country skiing again. We got on the bus, and drove to our location. When we got off the bus, we all got a nice face-full of bear spray!

What happened with that was our guide/teacher lady, Laura, stepped off the bus without realizing the safety had broken on her bear spray. The bear spray then proceeded to spray into the air and when we stepped off the bus, we inhaled it. It was terrible.

So after that adventure, we grabbed our gear and set off. We went for a while, played some games, ate lunch, dug a snow pit that was five feet deep, and set off again. We made it 2.5 miles before we turned back and got back on the bus to go back to the campus. We got back, showered, ate dinner, went to our EP, did homework, then slept. All in all, it was a successful day.

Wednesday wasn't as exciting with us snow shoeing. We went a little bit, dug two snow pits, and learned all about the snow. After that, we built a snowman. We then headed back for the bus on a different, but effective, route. We then went to dinner, EP, homework, and bed.

On Thursday, we went to a preserve and cut off some willow branches so that in the summer they can plant more willows in places that they're needed. After that, we went to another place and we went cross-country skiing some more. Our group went on a quote walk, where one leader put out quotes and the rest of us read the quotes while skiing by ourselves. Once we got to the end, we waited for everybody, then we started to head back while playing camouflage. it was awesome. We got to the end of the route back and went to the campus. We went to dinner, EP, packed, and slept.

Today, we woke up, went to breakfast, went to a closing thing, cleaned our lodges, and hopped on the bus. We took a five hour drive with one stop back to Park City and got here around the end of the school day. It was a really fun trip. I made some new friends in people I don't usually talk to. If you want to know more, check out the blog about the trip.

This is our Snowman :)

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day can be very sad for some people. For me though, it was very fun. I was able to hang out with my boyfriend and we had a lot of fun. First we went up to Main Street and we went roller blading. We grabbed the rollerblades that he keeps in his trunk (I don't know why) and we went to the city park and we rollerbladed around for a bit. After that we went down to Redstone and got burgers at Five Guys. Five Guys is an amazing burger joint. It's great and I totally recommend it.

So after all that fun stuff, we went to the movies. We went and saw the new Lego Movie. Now let me tell you a thing. I was not expecting the movie to end how it did at all. I won't give away the ending, but I will say you should totally see it. Somehow they managed to get me to ship lego characters together.

Shipping basically means I take two people (or anything really) in put them together in a relationship and I love it. It's weird. I know, but somehow a movie made me ship legos together. It's so odd. It was a really good movie though.

The boyfriending figure also managed to get me a purple stuffed bear. He doesn't have a name yet. I hope that you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day though, even if you spent it alone on Netflix with self-bought chocolate. I would totally do that if I didn't have a boyfriend. So yes. And I love all of you if you read my blog :3.

A poem:

Hella cute,
Hella fine,
Be my Hella Valentine?

This be my new bear :3

HAIR!!!

Hair. Hair. Hair. Hair. Hair. Hair. Hair. HAIR.   In case you couldn't tell, my post is going to be about hair. I had no idea what to post about, and hair, I decided, was easy for me to post about.

I love my hair. My hair is lovely and wonderful. Also, my parents don't really give a crap about what I do to it. Kind of. They freaked out a little bit when I cut it on my own, but they calmed down and they're fine with it now.

I love to dye my hair. I dye it all the time! Except for now cuz of my job. I've had completely black, red bangs, pink underneath brown, purple underneath, purple and blue underneath, rainbow underneath (yes the whole damn rainbow), purple underneath again, blue underneath, then I dyed it boring brown and it faded to brown with blonde underneath. Yup. That was an adventure.

Once I'm done with work though, I'm going to dye the top brown and underneath I'm going to do red and blue. I think that I'm going to do horizontal stripes. That would look pretty cool. I'm also planning on cutting it all awesome-like. Possibly with swooshy bangs and layers. Ogres have layers. I'm not an ogre. I will have layers though. I hope.

Anyway, I really love hair. I love styling it, playing with it, taking care of it. I just love hair.

I can't wait until I can do cool thing to my hair. In the mean time I have to deal with this:

His Name is Robert Paulson

So according to my friend, my life is now like one of those cheesy romantic 80's movies where the teenagers do cool, fun stuff. I don't know if this is 100% accurate, but I can tell you that my life is kinda like a cheesy romantic movie. Mostly last night. See, I have recently acquired that which others call a "boyfriend." So this so dubbed "boyfriend" took me out last night.

He picked me up at my house and drove us (yes he can drive, don't judge) down to Redstone. We went to Walmart and bought chocolate milk, bubbles, and Sour Patch Kids. After that, we went to the parking garage below Best Buy and drank the chocolate milk. After we drank that, we *gasp* did nothing bad! We got roller blades out of his trunk and went roller blading in the garage while blowing bubbles. It was quite fun.

The bubbles look really cool when you're going really fast on roller blades. After a while we went up to the Best Buy and looked around for a bit. My mom wanted to find a cheap printer/fax machine so she had me scout one out. We got bored pretty quickly and went back downstairs. You'll never believe what happened next. That's right. Absolutely nothing. We ate Sour Patch Kids and went roller blading some more.

After we finished the roller blading we went to Kneaders and got a smoothie. The "boyfriend" tipped the lady there with an origami elephant made out of a dollar bill. It was adorable. So we drank a smoothie and he drove me home. It was nice.

Oh! I almost forgot to mention Robert! So apparently this "boyfriend" dude is really good at claw machines. He played the claw machine and won me a teddy bear who I dubbed 'Robert Paulson' afte the guy in "Fight Club" (great movie by the way). So that my dear readers, is why my friend said my life seems like an 80's movie. Oh well *shrugs*

This be Robert.

Be Totally Jealous!!! (ish)

Well hello there! I, currently, am sitting in the living room of a house on Grand Turk island in the Turks and Caicos. It's very warm here and today I went scuba diving. It was quite exciting. I suppose I'll tell you about my trip. Be prepared to be totally jelly!

It all started out on Wednesday night. We left at nine pm and drove to the airport in Salt Lake City. We then went through security, found our gate, boarded the plane, and took off. On this flight, I was rather uncomfortable. You see, we were flying to New York to make a connection to the main island where we would take a small pond hopper to Grand Turk. So as I was saying. I was sitting by the window next to this lady who sat kinda, really, super close to me. I could barely move without hitting her. So eventually I just put in complimentary ear plugs and attempted to sleep. Key word being attempted. I think I slept like, an hour on that plane. Ya... I got off the plane the next day at around six o'clock New York time. We got breakfast, I had a coffee and bagel, and then went over to the Delta section of the JFK airport. Since my daddy-dearest is a pilot, we were able to hang out in the pilot's lounge. It was lovely.

They have reclining chairs with airplane pillows and blankets for the pilots to sleep, so I sat mah butt in one o' dem chairs and read mah book. I read dat shiz fo two hours cuz I am a strong, independent, black woman. And I don't need no man in my life!

Woah! Sorry... I don't know what just happened there... Anyway, so we went there until eight and went back over to the Jet Blue side of the airport and got over to our next plane. This one was even worse. I sat next to the most annoying woman you will ever meet! She had an annoying, nasally, New York accent. I mean, the accent was cool, but the nasally annoying voice? Ugh! Anyway, I just plugged in my Green Day, but not before getting a nasty look for my hair, music, and clothes, and just ignored the abomination for the rest of the flight. Did I mention I was stuck by the window for another three hours? So finally the plane landed and we got off and went to get on the next one... Which was in an hour and a half... So we got food. I had the most amazing lobster wrap! Or, maybe not... I dunno... It tasted amazing, but maybe I was just hungry. Anyway, we got on the next plane and it was cool. It was a small pond hopper, so my dad sat in the co-pilot's seat and I sat right behind him and watched the pilot work his magic.

We got off the plane after half and hour, got a ride to where we're staying, and met up with my parents friends. We ate dinner, and by then I was half-asleep. I wasn't too tired though, since I ate dinner. Before I left though. I realized something. It was terrible. So, so terrible. I didn't even know how it had happened!

I had five bug bites! All on one hand! It was so, so terrible! My mother was able to go to the store and get me some anti-itch cream and I applied it and fell asleep. This morning, (yes we traveled an entire day) I woke up to my family being loud. I got up, only to realize I had three more bug bites! What the Hell? I put on more cream, sprayed myself with bug spray and sun-screen, put on my bathing suit, and gathered my gear.

I walked down the street over to a nice little building where everyone was. We all gathered our stuff up, got ready, and went to the boat. The driver took us a little off shore and tied up. We all put on the rest of our gear and got going. By now you're probably wondering, what are they doing?

We're scuba-diving. My favorite thing in the entire world. I can't even describe how amazing it is. You feel weightless, peaceful. It's so amazing! The only thing you can hear is the sound of the reg when you inhale and your bubbles when you exhale. It's amazing. I would've just fallen asleep and let mysel sink if I could have it was peaceful. I went on two dives today before coming back to shore and eating lunch. I then went back to our little house thingy and fell asleep again. I slept for a really long time before putting on a dress and going to dinner. Tonight, I had shrimp pasta and it was delicious. I finished dinner, had key-lime pie, then went over to our friend's house thingy to bum off their internet to write this damned blog post. All for you Mr. Parker. I hope you're jealous now. Deal with it!

Since I have to include a picture... And don't make fun of me, the salt-water turned my hair into a gravity-defying mess!!! BTW: I miss all y'all!!! Imma try to post everyday or every other day to show you how much fun I'm having and your not!!! Adios until tomorrow!!
