school and xc

school was fun. =D omg i love my english class. it is hilarious and so off topic but we still manage to get everything done and learn. haha and chris roland is in my class and so is justin and ryan so that always makes everything into a hilarious argument. i finally got to present my spanish project; i couldn't yesterday because my computer ate my pin drive. =P

omg on my way back from my locker to johnston sergio totally attacked me with his vocab book and it hit my hand. and then after i left johnston ashli bent my pinky back, on the same hand that was hit. so now i have a lumpish bruise thing in the middle of my hand. xD love u guys. <3

the xc meet was fun. we got there kinda early so i was sitting down and stretching a little with ashli. and tyler is gonna quit the xc team. =( cause coach phu is being a total jerk and forbidding the guys to talk to the girls. and thats part of what makes xc fun, hanging out as a TEAM!

but the race was good. i did it really slow and easy since it didn't count for anything; the next race that counts is saturday. so i ran with briana and we had fun. after the race we did a cool down jog and then me and ashlynn went and talked to dallas (xc team) race and alex (baseball team)cause they just got done with practice.

lol me, ashli, briana, ashlynn, mom and dad all had to fit into a car with 4 seats... so ashli and i rode in the back.

OMG

omg i almost forgot! brisingr came out! *whoot* i <3 that series!

but i haven't read it yet. and the suspense is killing me! i want eragon to find out that brom was his father. and yes i am 99% sure that this is true even though it hasn't been written in the book. well technically it has... at least some clues. =P okay dont read the part below if u want to figure this out for yourself.

The True Identity of Eragon’s Father
Okay so you might think that since Murtagh said that Morzan was Eragon’s father in the ancient language, and you can’t lie in the ancient language, Morzan must be his father. However, this is not at all true, and in reality Morzan is not Eragon’s father. It is Brom.

First, you must understand that it is possible to tell an untruth in the ancient language. You see, just because Murtagh said it in the ancient language doesn't mean that it's true, just that he believed it was true. When Eragon wrote a poem for the Agaeti Blodhren we learned that it is possible to “lie” in the ancient language. Oromis said it was possible to tell untruths in the ancient language, if you really believed that they were true. Here’s the proof.

Eldest Pg. 456
“No barrier exists to writing fiction in the ancient language. The difficulty arises when one attempts to speak it, for that would require you to tell untruths, which the magic will not allow.” “I can say it,” replied Eragon, “because I believe it’s true.”

So because Murtagh has seen no evidence showing that Eragon could not also be a son of Morzan, and because they do share a mother, he believes that Eragon was also the son of Morzan.

Now evidence about Brom being Eragon’s father…

Eldest Pg. 546
"Son and Father alike, both blind as bats".
Blagden never met Morzan so he could not have been talking about him. Morzan was never blind. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was after power. Brom was the only one who was blind by his insane idolization of Morzan. Brom was blind to Morzan's betrayal, and Eragon was blind to Murtagh's betrayal.

More evidence…

Eldest Pg. 546
"While two may share two,
And one of two is certainly one,
One might be two."

While two sons (Eragon and Murtagh) "may" share the same two parents (Morzan and Selena),
And one parent of two parents, the Mother-Selena, is certainly the same one parent of both sons, One parent, the Father, might be two Fathers (Brom and Morzan) each having one of the sons.

What in the world could this riddle be about if it doesn't support the two-father theory?

There is a chapter in Eldest titled "Inheritance." In it, Murtagh takes Zar'roc from Eragon and claims it as his inheritance. This conveniently leaves Eragon without a sword. In the third book Eragon will get his inheritance and his proper rider's sword (meaning that it matches the color of his dragon). Brom’s sword will be blue because he also had a dragon named Saphira.
We are never told what happens to Brom's sword. It is only mentioned indirectly when Eragon converses with the elf sword maker Rhunon. She mentions that there are only two of her swords left (other than Morzan's and Oromis'), and they happen to each be held by two elven families. One is Brom's, and the other is likely another sword that will go to the rider of the other dragon in Galbatorix’s possession. And don’t you dare think that Rhunon will make Eragon’s sword because she sworn in the ancient language to never make another rider’s sword again. This makes Brom’s sword Eragon’s inheritance, and this is the Inheritance Trilogy, after all.
However, there are some other questions that must still be answered. For example, why, if Brom was Eragon’s father, would he not raise his own son while both live in Carvahall? And why would Brom never tell Eragon that he was his father?
In response to those two questions: there was no evidence whatsoever to imply that Eragon would be a rider in his early life. Brom was there in Carvahall to watch over him, and he did teach his son all about the old ways. When Eragon went to Brom's to ask him questions about the riders Brom answered all of his questions and he often told stories to him. One of the best ways to teach is through stories, and in order to have Eragon learn more he had to be interested in riders and their history. In Eragon, it says that Brom has been living in Carvahall for 15 years, Eragon’s age in that book. (Hmmmm… suspicious…)

If Eragon knew that Brom was his father, he could possibly reveal it when someone enters his head (like the Twins.) If Galbatorix found out that the newest rider that wasn't under his control was the son of Brom, he would have to assume that he was raised by Brom, and was the beneficiary of a lifetime of teaching by Brom. Since we know Brom was powerful and strong enough to have a hand in the deaths of eight of the Forsworn, his lifetime knowledge passed down to his son would make Eragon a much more deadly enemy than if Eragon was raised by a random farmer and never had any contact with Brom. If Galbatorix believed that Eragon was Brom's son, he himself would have flown to the battle at the end of Eldest, and it would have been a forgone conclusion.

And if Brom is indeed Eragon’s father, then how on earth would he and Selena have a chance to "make" Eragon? =P

We don’t know exactly how long Selena was missing from the castle ("many months" is a very unclear length of time.) She could have met Brom and fallen in love with him after running from the castle. Bear in mind that around the time of Selena’s disappearance, Morzan was off searching for Saphira’s egg, which had just been stolen, so would not have been around the castle or seeing Selena at any time. And that give Brom ample opportunity to see her. Brom also tells Eragon that he knew Selena (which Eragon never knew before) “well enough to miss her when she’s gone.”

haha see? i told u he was Eragon's father. xP or at least he better be...

weekend...

wow, long weekend. mostly fun, but long and tiring. u guys need to get on aim. =P and i need to finish up my hw. my grandma leaves tommorow. haha i can't wait until monday so i can see everybody. hmmm this post sounds very random and scattered doesn't it? xD

orlando!!! =D

okay. well me and ashli got out at 2:30 on friday cause we had a xc meet in orlando on saturday. =D which was amazing btw. but more of that later. lol.

so we got picked up by coach simpson and had a super fun car ride up there. haha we were singing and dancing like the whole way. =) we got to the hotel which was extremely crappy and scary but we survived. and then we went out, jogged the course and went to dinner. yummy. =P

after dinner we went to this fair-ish thing which was fun. the whole girls team got on this ride and we were screaming our heads off. and then we all got tatoos of chinese symbols on our wrists.

omg we had to get up at 5:30 this morning... ugh exspecially since we didn't fall asleep until like 12. and my stomcah felt horrible and we had to take the long drive down to the race.

so i ran the race and i set a new pr! (personal record) WHOOT!! i am soooo happy. =D =D 23:10

so basically after that we attacked mcdonalds (haha 21 people entering at once...) and then drove home.

race this weekend

This weekend is the reason I've:

1. Given up hours of sleeping in the summer in order to run 5 - 10 miles a day in the Florida heat
2. I ran while I was on vacation
3. Got up and ran even though I was tired, sore, or both!
4. Logged 300+ summer miles in the pouring rain, 95 degree heat, or both =)
5. Run down the sidewalk and gotten called names by passing motorists because they have no clue what it takes to do what I do.
6. Suffered through 3-5 mile tempo runs, Mile repeats, Fartlek runs, Ladder runs and long runs.
7. Gone through more running shoes in the past year than most kids will in a high school career. =P
8. Pushed my body harder than I thought I could. I run even though you think you can't run anymore. I do one more repeat when you think the last one was all you had. I push through it and when it's all done, I have a great feeling of pride because I did it! I didn't die, nope, not even close. I won't die, I'll pass out first!

Why?

Because I am a cross-counrty runner and I love to run. Its the start of cross counrty season this weekend and I plan to kick the competion and kick it HARD!

lol. umm yah well i have to get myself motivated for the race this weekend somehow don't i? geez im so nervous!!!! =/

VARSITY =D

omg! im so happy. k so in johnston we had to present our project on socrates. and we did fine on that. lol. im pretty sure we got an A.

and then me and ashli had to go cause we had a xc meet. and we went to the meet and the team was there. so we went for a 1 mile warm up jog and then walked the rest of the course. next came streching and strides and all that stuff.

then it was like 2 minutes before the race so the team huddled up and we prayed which was awesome and afterwards we screamed DO WORK (briana's idea) and line up.

so yah, pretty much after that we just had to run 3.1 miles. so im coming up to the finish line and coach and tj started screaming at me so i sped up and i cam in third on the team and 12 overall. =D im so proud!

after i finished i ran the course backwards until i found ashli so i screamed a whole bunch of encouragement to her and she finished 6th. im so proud of her. =P

so everybody finished and then we rode the bus back home. but im like glowing right now im so happy. i cant believe i made varsity! i was expecting to come in 5th behind fallon and briana but i beat them! =D haha okay im rambling so ill go now. <3

funniest day EVER!!

omg wow. today was sooooo funny. like seriously i dont think i went 5 minutes without laughing. =D

the morning bus, for once wasn't exciting. i just listened to my mp3 player and ashli finished her hw. but then comes school..

me and ashli saw emily in the cafeteria so we all walked to our lockers and then went to the gazibo. and kylie comes up and scares emily, so emily who was drinking water turns and pours it all over kylie. lol. and then once kylie leaves ashli pours water on emily to get back at her for pouring it on kylie. =D haha so then we kept on threatening each other with water.

wow.... art. =D okay so me and ashli are all hyper and the pledge comes on. so we stand up and start reciting it and stuff and ashli pokes me like half way through so i like squeak so everyone at our table starts cracking up. so me and ashli were just haveing hysterical fits of laughter through the whole period. haha and i poked her back really hard in the middle of class and she made some weird noise and it was really quiet so everyone heard and laughed. =P and some other time during art today duct tape came up and im like i love how it sounds like duck buts its spelled d-u-c-t and ashlis like WHAT?! nuh uh its spelled duck like quack quack. so she learned something new today. =D okay so then we leave art and we're walking to lockers. so i sneak up behind ashli and (here's the story i was suppoesed to tell u sergio and emily) i stick a goldfish down her shirt. ans ashli's like omg what did u just do. and im like i stuck a glodfish down ur shirt. so me and her start laughing uncontrollably and to julia shes like OMG I HAVE A GOLDFISH IN MY SHIRT. and we're still like cracking up right? and ashlis like omg i can feel it!im still lmao and julia's like are you okay? and im like wow ashli u want to know something. and she's like what. im like i didn't actually put a goldfish down ur shirt. which makes us start laughing all over again.

english... wasn't funny wasn't boring so it was good. spanish- same. lunch- same.

haha in history me and ashli were like cracking up again.

omg and then science. so i guess emily stole sergio's watch (which is amazing btw, it clicks! lol) and he wanted it back. and ashli had stole emily's bracelet cause she loves it. and emily wanted it back. so the three of them get into this huge fight and it was sooo funny. i still dont know how it ended though, last i knew sergio had emilys bracelet and she had his watch.

and then the afternoon bus was amazing random funniness as always. =D

anyways thank you guys so much for making this the most awesome day this year! i love you all and would die without you! <3 <3 <3

random...

geez its not even 12 yet and so much has happened.

yesterday my grandma decided to come down and visit us but she only gave us 1 day to get ready since my mom and my sister are at the airpoprt picking her up. so anyways since my mom and sister were gone i had to clean the whole house. =( it took FOREVER! but its done now. so now our house is squeaky clean (it wasn't exactly dirty before though) and im just waiting for everyone to get back since my dad had to go to the store to pick some stuff up.

i get to sleep in my sisters room for this whole week since my grandma has to sleep in mine. whuch means i probably wont be getting to much sleep cause my sister and i are way to hyper and giggly at night. =D

my grandma is looking to buy a house down here so she can come and visit us in the summer. which is why there was such short notice on her coming down.

oooo there is a cross country race on tuesday! *whoot* i can't wait. its the one that determines wether your going to be on the varsity or jv team so its pretty important. which means ill get to miss most of 6th and all of 7th period tueday since i have to be picked up early. which sucks cause all we ever do in those classes are take notes but i actually do need the notes for studying later on... =(

so anyways im stuck in the house drinking tons of water (because of the race tuesday) and thought id use this time to update my blog before my grandma gets home. and if this post sounds kinda boring and like its going on and on with no point its because it is because im REALLY BORED! lol.

yay! my grandma's her! got to go. see you all on monday! <3

school today

not incredibly awesome not boring. lol.

we worked on our projects in mancera, i have chile. ummm... in johnston we didn't get to work on our projects. =( cause all of the laptops wouldn't work. so we took notes instead. then i went to science but ashli wasn't feeling very good. =( hope u feel better soon. mrs. sauriol was really toughy today for no reason. its her fault she waited until now to tell us that she didn't have all of our grades. and then she couldn't find ashli's paper when ashli turned it in. i hate it when teachers wont believe that they misplaced stuff no matter what you tell them. it took us like half the period to get the movie started so i read sergio's speech and talked to ashli most of the time. =D

we're watching a movie on darwin. ugh. and we were supposed to take notes but that would have made the movie even more boring. so i didn't. =P instead i talked to macauley about rainbow worms that live in rainbow world, kept on turning the wrong way when sergio poked me and asked ashli a kajillion times if she was okay or felt better.

hehe the bus ride was fun. random as usual varying from pokemon to laptop conversations and listening to music.

and then we went to the jv football game that was still playing and then i dropped ashli off and started on my hw.

*WHOOT*

this is my 100th blog post! i feel so proud. lol. of course not many people will actually know this because no one reads my blog anymore.... or at no one comments. well actually sergio commented yesterday (for once!) but still. but thats okay. i can still read my blog years from now and look back on everything that happened while i was in high school. im sure ill spend a good deal of that time laughing at myself. =P

well other than that not much is up. no one is on aim. oh yah... i edited my heros list on myspace and added some pictures. lol. here all post it...

ashli: ashli is the strongest person i know. she has been through so much but is still a strong willed, confident girl i love. she is always willing to listen and cares so much about everyone. she would much rather give than receive. she is also the most amazing song-writer ever. she has an obsession about animals and there well being too. i ♥ u! oh yah, we also has the most hilarious bus rides ever! =D

*picture of me and ashli being crazy*

sergio: i can always count on sergio to make me laugh. =p he is always energetic and fun to be around. sergio has also got to be the nicest person in the world. and he writes amazing poems. and... he has a tendency to come up behind me and scare me when im unsuspecting. so beware =D (don't have a picture)

*picture of a piano*

yasmin: yasmin is a happy, bubbly girl. she is the only thing that kept me from going crazy in spanish and science last year. ♥ but i don't have any classes with her this year. =(

*picture of yasmin*

ashlynn: ashlynn is my twin and also one of my best friends. she is an amazing runner that never quits. she may drive me crazy sometimes *cough cough ALL the time* but i love her anyways.

*picture of ashlynn*

running in the rain!

why isn't anybody on aim? lol.

well i went running as soon as i got home since it was 8 miles and it would be too dark if i went later. but as soon as i got outside and was just about to start it started pouring. i mean POURING. u know when the sky opens up and its like buckets of water are being dumped? yah like that. and it was windy. so i went anyways. =D

i love running in the rain. its so much fun! and it makes you feel like you can run forever. plus i didn't get hot at all cause i was drenched within the first 45 seconds so it was actually kind of chilly.

gah i still have to do johnston hw. ill see you guys tommorow!

Monday, September 8, 2008

AIM!!!

wow. tonight was interesting. i actually managed to get most of my homework done. lol. and a lot happened over aim.

k so first ashli and yasmin were the only ones on. so i was talking to them. then brittany got on and we started to study together. for history. and yasmin wanted to join so we made a chat room. and amber joined. and then macauley. and julia. and ashli. and some other people i think...

so we had an amazingly awesome study group. so now im prepared for history! =D

eventually people had to go so in the end it was just me and yasmin. but it lasted for a good 30 minutes. so then i was just talking to ashli and yasmin. ashli had to go run (YAY!!) and i had to go do some chores so i got off for a little bit.

when i got back sergio was on and it said ashli was on but she didn't respond so i dont think shes was there...

so me and sergio had and interesting conversation. i cried through part of it lol cause i was telling him about this nightmare i had where all my friends died and i was left all alone... =( and i told him about some stuff going on right now. like about my mom's eye and a lot of stress and stuff. (dont worry ashli... nothings changed from when i last updated you =D my mom doesn't need surgery yet as far as we know) but then sergio had to go do homework and i thought i'd update my blog before i left to go running! =D

so basically aim is super awesomely amazing when it comes to studying for johnston tests and talking to your friends. =D

im gonna call u later tonight ashli cause i need some help with a couple of dates in johnston... lol. <3 u! oh geez, sauriol notes. crap. thanks for reminding me ashli! (even though it was just ur name that reminded me and u had no control over it.) ill have to doo those when i get back.....

Saturday, September 6, 2008

movie!

me ashli, sarah and ashlynn went to the movies today! =D tons of fun. we hung out in the mall afterwards too. alot more happened but nothing really exciting and i can't really type much right now since im talking to 3 people on aim which isn't that much but its enough to make this complicated so yah!

football game!

k so yesterday me and ashli went to the varsity football game! and we were beat 3-15 when we left so im pretty sure we lost... bad.

well before i went to the football game i had a LOT of stuff that i had to do. i got off of the bus and went and ran 4 miles with my dad. then i got home, ate dinner and had to get started on my chores. ashli called and told me that she was getting ready to leave and i still had a lot of chores left. so in 30 minutes i had to feed my dogs, scoop the cat box, take a shower, clean my room and clean the bathroom. UGH! lol. my parents decided to tell me all of this after i had gotten ready of course so i was in the middle of aim convos and had to rush off and leave. =( srry i couldn't talk to u guys! anyways i guess while i was in the shower ashlynn started typing to all of my friends cause i had forgotten to sign off. and before i could get back on and say bye to everyone after kicking my sister off everyone had left! =( but thats ok, ill talk to or call you guys later. =D

k so the football game. =) ashli came and picked me up so we met up with my sister and her friend sarah at random times during the game. so we watched some of the football game until that got boring and then we went around and i showed ashli everyone i knoew from my sixth grade class. nicole was there so we said hi to her.

other than that not much happened. but it was tons of fun. =)
