Internal Conflict

Lately I've had a friend of mine follow me around more than necessary. Actually a lot. I didn't know what to say to her because I didn't want to hurt her feelings. It had been going on for a while and I was past the point of getting fed up with it. Finally, I just sat down with her and explained my situation to her. The entire time I felt like the biggest jerk in the world but to keep my insanity I had to deal with it. The last thing I wanted to do is hurt her feelings, I acually did end up doing that, but I needed my own space. Most of the time I put other people before me but now was not one of those times. I needed to put myself first.

The Perfect Boyfriend

My idea of a perfect boyfriend would be something like this: he has midnight black hair and the most amazing green eyes. He is 6'2" and weighs about 145 lbs. He isn't too built because I've got to wrap my arms around him and give him a big hug. I have to be able to pick him up since we will take turns giving each other piggy back rides. Like a typical guy he loves cars and other manly stuff. But I'd want him to like to read and every once in a while agree to go to a chick flick with me. He loves to run and play basketball. He isn't good enough to be on the basketball team but he likes to play anyways. He has to suck at tennis, that way I can always beat him whenever we play and then tease him afterwards. He fixes up cars as a hobby. He loves to be outside doing stuff, mainly sports. He is a whiffleball star and I always have him on my team whenever my family has a cookout. His pet peeves are shopping, the movie The Notebook and the show America's Next Top Model. He hates it when I watch that. I could care less about what ethnicity they are. It doesn't make a difference on who the person is. He is a nice guy but the thing he needs is to have a great sense of humor. Surprise surprise, his name would be James because that is my favorite name in the world and it is just a coincidence that I am already dating someone named James. That would be my idea of a perfect boyfriend.

My Movie

In the story of my life the important characters would have to be the people I am with the most. That would be two of my sisters, my parents and my boyfriend. The actors that play each of those people would be my sisters, Danielle would be played by Amanda Bynes, Christine by Hayden Patteniere, my mom played by Julia Roberts, my dad by Richard Gere, James played by Zach Braff and myself by Rachel Adams. The plot of the movie go something like this, I'd be an ordinary high school girl who goes through her everyday life. It is in the summer of my junior year and I was on a family trip to the Grand Canyon. About 10 minutes into the movie though the plot would have a twist. As the result of a practice test for nuclear warfare, a renegade bomb turns lose and is lost in northern Arizona. It made worldwide news. While on a hike in the Grand Canyon my sister, Christine, notices something caught in the rocks. Turns out it is the nuclear bomb. We didn't know it at first because we had no idea what it looked like. But when we show it to my dad he figures it out and rushes us out of there. He tries to call 911 but our phone network does not work out in the middle of the grand canyon. We get ready to leave the Grand Canyon but someone's missing. Danielle is still down there. I immediately run down to get her. I trip over some rocks and they roll down the side. One of them hits the nuclear bomb. A timer in the bomb begans. Countdown from 2 hours. The ending of the movie is that I figure out how to disable the bomb and in result, save the world. That would be my story with an interesting twist.

Regrets

If there is one thing I could change it would be when I had a myspace. I got one in 8th grade because I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. But my parents had different views. They hated the whole idea of myspace with a passion. Now I don't regret getting a myspace, I regret lying to my parents when they asked me if I had one. I came up with the great idea of lying about it and then deleting it the next day. I still don't know how but they already knew about my myspace. So when I lied to them about it I got in a lot of trouble for lying to them. I have their trust back now but I didn't have it for a while. I was also grounded for a month. It was a long month, no cell phone and no computer. I wish that I had the sense to not lie to my parents and just tell them the truth. That would have made my life much easier.
