Snow... goons?

I've sort of unofficially quit hockey. Sort of like me unofficially quitting Runescape. Well, ok not really. Don't get me wrong, hockey is like.. the best thing ever. It seriously is fun. But then, my sissyness kicking in, I just hate the whole "having to play with high school girls who are like much much better than me, and who SPEAK FRENCH and then also having to play with middle-aged/maybe a little younger-guys, who can be sort of cool, but are also better than me and who also speak French a lot" thing. And oh I forgot the part where I stay up till midnight. Fun, right? After being sleep-deprived for several weeks/months, I've decided sleep is actually useful. And good! So there. Now, I could say to myself, "Amelia, you're being a complete... a complete sissy here." and in a way I am. Ugh. Dilemma. 

I actually got an "Amelia sandwich" the other day. No, I did not eat myself, and maybe I should rephrase that. Here, how about... two other girls (I knew them) came up you know, and sort of did that sandwich thing. It was sort of ironic, because the occasion was that "they hadn't seen me in a long time!" Even though it had only been like.... a week. So yeah. And then one of them, Claudia (who's that like tri-lingual girl in my FLE and math speciales classes who I sort of walk home with)'s friend asked who was on my button. It was John Lennon, but Claudia thought it was Harry Potter. "You like the Beatles?" She asked. 

"Yeah. Do you?" 

"Yeah they're cool," then Claudia accused her friend of being weird/rude to me, so they left. They both wear white coats and slightly tight jeans.

I have just been informed, as of a few minutes ago, the following news.

Turns out our neighborhood is getting a little more... hmm hmm ha... which means.

So you guys know the kidnapping? And then the robbery at Champion just down the street a few blocks? Couldn't get any worse, right? Ha. No. Turns out the police were doing an investigation in the phone booth just across the street from this apartment, like checking for fingerprints and stuff. Which apparently means there was a somewhat serious crime. Right. Across. The street. 

Now, this is not to say I'm panicking. Just thought I'd tell you guys about it. I'm not that worried, but I mean sure its a little creepy. 

But, back to the lighter subjects, it's SNOWING! And there's already like an inch or so on the ground. Which is seriously cool. It's sort of absolute slush, (wet and whatnot), but its snow nonetheless. But for some reason this winter just doesn't have the certain... ding to it. No tree yet, no Christmas music really... and plus the weekends don't mean calling over Anthony to walk over to Slauson, probably carrying the Bruiser, and sledding till we can't see or feel our fingers. Or making forts in my backyard, or making movies with Erez and Oren and Anthony and playing video games in the basement with ice water and hot chocolate or getting seriously mad at Zach for throwing a stinging snowball down my coat, and playing that one game where we tackle each other on the hill. HIJACKER! BLACK WALL!!! HA HA. omg.

And then of course when I come back it'll be way different, and/or non-existant. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. But I still have memories.

You know what occurred to me today? I thought it was pretty cool to be even just slightly, a tadbit, "tri-lingual". I mean, I've got English pretty well down, and French is not bad, and then Spanish.. well ok I probably know about 0,4% of Spanish people, but whatever. I'ma feeling pretty confident rights about now. I'ma starting to like this. To a certain extent.

Algebra. Crap. And then my dad's leaving on Saturday to go back to A2 for a week. I soooo envy him. But then again, if I were to go, that would mean I'd be like, "OMG I HAVE to see Becca and Anthony and Jenny and Alex and Miyako and Erez and Oren and Hannah and-" but then if I did, although it would be awesome I s'pose, I wouldn't ever want to leave, and it would just be terrible to leave them again. So that would suck. So I guess I don't want to go back right about now.

So there's the Slauson winter concert tonight? Wish I was there. It'll be at like.. 11pm for me I think. Winter concerts always seem to come so fast. Trumpet's going pretty good though. We'll have a little party with the other trumpeters next week, and then there's this (French) band I can play with once a week if I want. Only one more week of school after this one and then ha ha ha haaaa. And then that will be a third of the school year gone, and yeah!

Just thought I'd tell you guys again that life rocks and all. Not to mention, you guys rock.

Oh, by the way Karina, skiing isn't normally like that. That was just an unusual windy day. But yeah sure thanks.
