Oh right...

Well. It's been almost a year since I posted in my blog. It was only recently brought back to my attention that I even HAD a blog, thanks to a very kind person who commented on my last post.
Wow. It's been a year. So much has happened. Too much to explain on here, but I'm so different. I've come out of my shell, as it were. I'm more stable, emotionally. I'm definitely more well-spoken. I'm just going to try to get back in the swing of things and post in this here blog of mine. Maybe I'll get some more followers!

Dreams...

Ever had that experience where the dream you had the night before sets how your day goes? Yeah. Me too. In fact, it happened to me today. I had a dream last night that was the kind of dream that you wish with all your heart could be a reality. In my dream, I was with all my friends, including the one who's moved away, and my subconscious had created a girlfriend for me. She was essentially my dream girl (no pun intended) and we clearly had a great relationship. When I woke up, I felt hopeful for those first few delirious seconds, but then I came crashing back to reality. I was demoralized, as I had these vivid, happy memories of a girl who never existed in the first place. It may have been a wonderful dream, but it effectively ruined my morning, and the rest of my day. It also made me realize just how much I want a relationship right now.

Try new things.

This weekend I went to a thing called a UU rally. It's a church event hosted by a different Unitarian church each time, and it's basically a bunch of UU teenagers getting together and having tons of unstructured fun. Going in, I was somewhat dubious as to whether I'd have a good time. It turned out to be the greatest weekend of my life. I made about thirty new friends, most of whom I got to know before learning their names. By the end of the rally, I was unbelievably sad to leave. It made me realize that I need to try new things more often. The time from now until the next rally is going to seem to drag on, even though it's only a few months.

Oh yeah, this thing

So, I've been busy and completely forgot about my blog. Oh well. I'll try to get on more often now that I've remembered. Still not sure how many people are actually reading. To those who are, I promise that the posts will get more interesting as I get more "followers".

Great life experiences.

I'm only 15 years old. I know that's gonna make a lot of you question my credibility on anything I say, but please just hear me out. I know I seem young to be talking about life-changing experiences, but I do believe I've had one. I'm a freshman in high school, and I'm on the Cross Country team for my school. Throughout the entire season, we worked toward one goal: taking the state title. We all grew close together as we worked and worked to attain it. We motivated one another, grew to love one another as brothers. We became a family. That kind of comradery never dies. We went on to win the state title, which brought us even closer. Tonight, we had our season-ender banquet. There were awards handed out, and at the end, there was a video summary of the season. It was very emotional, but in a good way. Everyone was laughing at funny pictures, or cheering on someone's recorded race finish. I've been changed as a human being as a result of this Cross Country season, and I think I've been changed for the better.

Is anyone even reading this?

I know I'm coming off as kind of a negative person, but that's not really who I am. I'm really quite cheerful, it's just a bunch of negative stuff is happening right now. Once it's over and I (hopefully) have a bigger audience, I'll write better stuff! I promise!

Not what you think...

I love living in Oklahoma. Sure, we have the occasional tornado, but everybody is friendly, and the weather is generally pretty good. However, we've had a few earthquakes recently. Personally, I'm tired of them. Not the earthquakes themselves, but the immediate flurry of Facebook posts about the "end of the world". Do people REALLY think that a few weak earthquakes in Oklahoma are a sign of impending doom? If so, I'm worried about the direction humanity is going...
