Luke Skywalker was a cool cat.

I must admit I am rather obsessed with this picture.

First of all, its young Luke. He's my favorite.
Two, his hair just makes me so happy. I mean, its BOUNCING!
and Three, he's just so dang hot it makes me want to scream!

So, I'm hanging with my friend Megan in the cafeteria. We had some fun eating contradictions.

je n'aime pas les maths.

once upon a time....
oh, who are we kidding? math is no fairy tale. 
in fact, nailing spikes through my knees sounds less painful than factoring trinomials. seriously. 


maybe not seriously?


okay. definitely not. i need my knees to row. 

procrastination

so, i should probably be doing homework. i guess that isn't going to happen. 


meanwhile, check out these pictures i snapped on a recent field trip. 

such a cutie pie. 

it was a good day. 

how classic. 

i would do this. 

jumper's knee? and some favorites

Happy beginning of March! For many of you on the Northern Hemisphere this means Spring and sun! I'm not quite sure what happens on the southern half of the world, but have a great day anyway!

So, a couple days ago, when I met my friend, John, I was at a party, with, maybe six other people? It wasn't big. I guess it wasn't a party. More like, a festive gathering among some friends. So anyway, John and I were on the same team for Apples to Apples. He was on the couch and I was on the floor. So, as I stood up to sit next to him, him being my teammate and all, my knee cracked. I'm very worried. I have never had a knee incident that didn't go away within twenty four hours, and I has clearly been thirty-six hours. Therefore, each time I put pressure on it, and it shoots pain up my leg, I get very nervous.
          1.) I have crew. If this turns out to be something serious, I'm out for the season. I would rather row and LOSE then be out for the season.
          2.) Injuries suck. Whether you pulled a muscle or broke your foot, it still hurts. Nobody likes to be injured. But, if you are a runner, and need the answer to why you keep getting hurt, I suggest that you read this book.

Now, being the insightful (what?) child that I am, I decided to research my predicament. I have come to the conclusion that I could, in fact, be suffering from Jumper's Knee. I am confused about some things, though. Why is it, that, after I run, my knee feels fine, and then later it kills? I do not understand this. But then again, I am only fifteen. There are a lot of things I do not understand. (Maybe its the blood flow? I don't know. )

and now.....
       drumroll please.....

my favorites of february (there are a lot.)

1. The New Yorkers, by Cathleen Schine. 
2. Clinique's Naturally Glossy mascara in jet brown. 
3. The best blog on the internet: Sea of Shoes.
4. New York, New York.
5. Thin Mints.
6. my guitar (don't have a link)

I think that's it? I'll probably put up some more faves later.
