Ordinary Day..
So.. School was lame today, and now I'm sitting at home avoiding my homework at all costs. I have to be at ACC in like 3 hours. Oh yeah, I planned a suprise birthday party for Marinda upon Leslie's request, so somehow I have to get her to Kobe Steakhouse at like 8:15. Everyone I invited thinks she has no idea about it, but she totally knows. Haha. It's not my fault our friends are awful at keeping their mouths closed. Whatever... she'll have fun. I have to go to tumbling tonight to get ready for Mobile... PARTY!! Haha. I'm so excited.. it's time for another weekend away. Alright, well I'm gonna do some homework before I have to meet Squeaks. Peace.

I love starting over...
Wow.. It's only been a few months since I last posted and so much has changed. I'm sad to say all of the fish are dead. I know right? I bought like three within a good 2 weeks and they all died. It wasn't as tragic as Alice's death, I mean, Betsey and Johnson weren't around long enough. Haha. Okay... so update. I'll start with a quote:
"I love the moments in life when you realize how little you actually lost and how much you're able to gain"
That's been my facebook status for at least 3 days now.. lame, I know. It just fits my life so well right now. Here's why...
So at the end of January me and Bradford broke up. We had dated for a year and it was pretty hard I'm not going to lie, but it happened for a reason and I'm better off now. Friends have been good. It's amazing how much closer you can get to people when you invest just a little more time into their lives. They didn't like Bradford very much, so when we broke up they had like 10x more time for me all of a sudden. Which I understand.. he was kind of a jerk to them. Family has been awesome. Tyler's in Tuscaloosa and I miss him like crazy... as for everyone else, still here and crazier than ever. Typical Steeds and Barkers. :] School has been kinda insane.. Everything is getting a lot harder. I guess that's what I get for taking like all honors classes. It's slowly killing me, but I can only hope it will be worth it in the end. Cheerleading has been amazing!! School cheerleading is finally over; this season seemed to drag on forever and it just wasn't as fun as I remembered thinking Varsity would be. However, I started All-Stars at ACC this year and I'm loving it!! I've gotten so much better and I've made so many new friends. That's what I feel like breaking up with Bradford gave me, and if you don't know him or the whole story then this won't make any sense and you'll wonder why I'm posting my life story on the internet, but it gave me so many new opportunities to make the most of life and spend more time with people that will value my time and friendship. I just feel like this year will be so much better from here on out. Woohoo. :]
Okay well it's almost midnight, I think, and I have la escuela en la manana so I should probably go to sleep. I'll try and keep updating this thing, but it's kind of just one more thing to remember to do...
With Love,
EricaJean

Oh the Beginning..
Okay...so, I've had a lot of time to think today. Why more time than usual? Well, boyfriend is out of town hunting with no cell phone service. Mom is decorating the house for Christmas and refuses to be a part of "Black Friday" shopping. My friends all suck. Haha. So the result- me thinking. This could be extremely dangerous.. ;)
Lately life has been so rushed. Between school, all-star cheerleading, the holidays, school cheerleading, I haven't hardly had time to think of anything other than Hamlet and high v's. Every week seems like it drags on for years, and it feels like school will never end. Then, at night, when I finally have time to collect the little thoughts I have, I realize how fast time is actually going. I remember when I just turned 12 and that Christmas I got a mini-classroom in our basement. Now, I'm 17 in two weeks and I'll be lucky if I get the $400 camera I want. I just can't believe how fast it has all gone by. Sad.
Last week, my fish, Alice, died. I was like really upset because he was a beta fish and was supposed to live for like... ever. I cried and all as he was going down the toilet- it was dramatic. So today I went shopping for a replacement fish and found the cutest thing ever. Her name is Betsey. She's like a puffy goldfish. Oh my goodness she's adorable. After I got her, of course, Baret -my little sister- had to get one, and I kind of wanted to get her a friend. The pet store was closed. We decided to just go tomorrow and then went to Wal-Mart for MORE Christmas decorations... The beta fish there were just sitting on a shelf in little plastic containers dying. I started freaking out and my parents were like super embarrassed. It's just not fair. I mean, you can't sit things with life on a shelf next to the dog food.
Let's just say PETA will be hearing about this one...
