So today was when I went to the Field of Screams near my house and it was sooo much fun. I tried to explain to my friends and parents why I thought it was so much fun and they were like "OH, okaay" but I do not think that they totally understood. In my freshman year in highschool I didnt know a lot of people that well and didn't really have any good friends, but once I started doing sports such as softball, golf. I became closer with a lot of other girls and guys that I know have my back when I need them. When I did golf I became friends with one girl that I still talk to, and with softball I think that I have made great relationships that have so far have lasted longer than the 2 month softball season. All of the texting, calling, telling jokes to each other, helping each other out with personal issues, and having special team bonding (making shirts, and dinners) made my whole softball team a lot closer. For a team like a softball team to work cohesively, everyone needs to be supportive of each other, because the littlest comment can mess up the whole game for the team.
I have become closer friends with one girl. She tells me all of her issues with her ex boyfriend, what's going on in her life, and just stuff that she trusts me with ( and I am quite the trustworthy person). A while ago she posted on her facebook that she was glad that she had such a good friend that she could turn to with her problems, that would listen and provide moral support. Knowing that from freshman year to now, I had no friends in the beginning and middle of the year and I would walk down the halls and no one would say hi to me. But now I can't walk down a single hall with out someone saying hi to me, and I have no problem with that.
So back to the Field of Screams, after going and getting home I feel like I have now had a literal high school experience. On facebook I see friends of mine at parties laughing, posing and at bonfires doing the same exact thing. And while I would look at those photos I always think "Man that looks like a lot of fun, wish I could go to parties like that." After the trail at Field of Screams was finished I noticed something while sitting around a bonfire with friends, chatting, drinking, eating, and taking photos that I am doing exactly what I have always wanted to do.
It made me feel independant, grown up, and like a real high school student.
And the plus side is that I came home smelling like a bonfire! My dog still hasn't stopped smelling me!.

School Sports. Favoritism?
Hello blog world. This is the first time I have done a written blog like this, so please bare with me. :) If you would like to know, this blog will consist of things going on in my life, things I have noticed, vents from me, and movie a tv show critiques. I fucking love doing those.
Well the point of this post is about this past couple of weeks in my life.
Im on the golf team at my school (yea golf, what im a girl that plays golf! get over it, and im not gay either. I love gays.) and this week and next week are the weeks for districts for co-ed(not really, just a bunch of guys and one girl), and girls. At my school im one of two girls on the team and it actually really sucks. The other girl is this loud mouth that never knows when to shut up, and on top of it she's like the definition of obnoxcious (sp?). She gets chosen over me all the time for co-ed matches when the team has qualifying rounds to go to the co-ed. For example a week ago we both shot a fourty nine (which is pretty good for all you non golfers), and on the last hole i made a fifty. FIFTY foot put, damn it was awesome. all of the guys on the team were cheering for me and saying how good of a job i did and that felt great. It felt great because they dont really talk to me, and they're older than me and better so it boosted my confidence up like a bagillion. Funny thing is that they other girl was so pissed. So back to the story, we both shot a 49 so the coach had to decide which one of us was going into the co-ed match. All the rest of the guys wanted the other girl and i to redo the hole, or do a putting contest, i wanted to but the other girl was like no. flat out NO. Our coach decided to choose her cause she was the captain, god that made me fucking pissed. Our coach constantly plays favorites to her b/c her dad gives the team things, (hats, jackets, bags). Stuff like that can really get to me. not sure why. it just does.
another thing that happened last week was when i had a girls match. and i was expecting for the other girl to play with me and instead of coming to school dressed up like me, she came in with sweatpants and she told me she pulled her shoulder and wouldnt play in the match, BUT she was going to play in practice. Made no fucking sense to me, oh well. OH! and that same day when she dropped her clubs off with me she said in such a condisending (SP?) tone: "Did you get my calls? Coach isnt coming today". I was the very last person in the team to find out that the coach wasnt there, and i had to find my own ride. Took four hours for me to find a ride. Really annoying, oh well. And i did really bad in that match to....SOOOO BAD. When my mom picked me up all I did when she asked me "What did you shoot?" was cry, and not a little cry, but sob uncontrollably, i was so dissapointed in myself. My mom helped to reassure me that the only week that i should really be only worried about/concerned about is districts. I cant remember, but its either a week from tuesday or a week from wednsday this week from girls districts. So excited. and will keep you all posted, and with other things going on :)
