u

u is for...

un. which i have decided is always negative. and those words are the only ones that seem to be coming to mind. for the letter u.

uneventful. some nights i like to be uneventful. i dont always have to have something going on. or a place to be. or someone to hang out with. i have always enjoyed. and can entertain myself. and some nights. the more uneventful. relaxing times. are the best. so there is a spin on a negative.

u.c.a. the universal cheerleading association. i used to think thats all i wanted to do. be a cheerleader. i spent almost every summer during high school at u.c.a. camps with my squad. we would cheer. dance. smile. kick. jump. do stunts. have spirit. all day long. for a week straight. at the end of the week. we then would all compete against the other schools at camp. there was also a chance. for seniors only. to become an u.c.a. all-star. girls would try out one by one for the chance to walk in the macy's day parade. (if you paid the 'small' fee). i mean i guess there was more to it. the blue ribboned medal. the patch for your letter jacket. and the pride to say you were selected. my good friend. and captian of the squad didnt make it. that was kind of uncomfortable. i really did love camp. and looked forward to it all year round. and of course when i made all-star that last summer. i thought it was the ultimate. i was on a good squad. and we won almost every competition. every year. i dropped out of cheerleading after football season of my senior year. i was more interested in being yearbook co-editor n chief and student council president. yeah. i was a real go getter. a regular tracy flick from election. funny how your perspective can change so quickly.

i do not have a picture electronically of my high school days. but found this picture. at my first wedding for a friend from h.s. i find it especially funny. if you look down by my waist. you can see the bride's face peeping through.


this weekend i am taking a rode trip with some friends. we are driving down to bentonville, arkansas to protest outside wal-mart. no. not really. but we will probably drive by and take some cheesy pictures. its a nice weekend getaway. and i just so happened to be offered some complimentary nights at a hotel down there. so we thought. eh. why not. spring break 08 here we come. girls gone wild. arkansas style.

GF08: i couldnt do anything tonight. it was a new episode of the office. and although i have dvr. there are just sometimes when you have to stay home.
