WATCH OUT SEASON '09--here come Monique!!!

im not going to wait for monique to re-discover the blog, so im just going to tell you all about her first level 4 meet ever!

most people scratched (didnt compete) an event, some people scratched two. monique wasnt sure if she was ready, but she did some of the best routines of her team. they werent particularly good, but the next meet isnt until january 17th, so they have some time. i couldnt compete because i didnt have my floor routine yet, and i am missing my flyaway (back flip off bars), and my back walkover on beam (im not going to try to explain that). i got my floor routine right after the meet and it is AWESOME!!!

so, they started on beam and they had a couple 7's, lots of 6's and two 5's. monique got a 6.6

next was floor, better, she got an 8.05

vault she got another 8.05

and on bars she needed a spot on her front hip-circle, and she got a 7.05

all-around was a 29. something, you can do the math if you really want to know.

1. savannah is the most haunted city and this is the most haunted building.

2. the pirate house. apperently pirates made ppl drunk and then kidnapped them. there is a supposedly haunted room in there too.

3. the only day on the trip that my hair was co-operating.

4. me having a bad hair day on the bus

5. me eating crushed up cupcake with sprinkles and lots of frosting. lol look at my teeth. my hair was working with me that day.

1-4 are on the south georgia trip, and the last one was for moniques b-day.

the first one is ethan the football player!

the next three are all from the apple farm thing. my dad thought that the porta-potty thing was funny. the next ones are us on the tractor ride.

and the last one is me and monique with our new haircuts. i think mine was not co-operating in that particular pic. but o well, its really cute in real life.

Fatsos!

So, my friends Haley and Stela were walking around and they bought some fast food and then went to Starbucks to buy some desserts. The guy behind the register asked them why they were getting so much food and my friend Haley, thinking that she was just thinking it in her head, said rather loudly, "Because we're fastos!" and everyone in the building looked at her really strangely. And the guy behind the register was giving her a strange look and just said: "Do you girls want anything else?"
She didn't know what she had said until Stela asked her why she'd said it.
neways, thursday the eighth grade leaves for South Georgia. Three days and two nights. And Haley cant come (she was my roommate) because she failed Science. :'(

the meet (copied from the other blog)

So, I had my meet today. It wasn't a normal meet, it was just trying to get me out of level 5, I didn't make it last time. Luckily I scored out. there were only five girls at the meet from my team and there were level (USAG) 5, 6, 7, and 10's there. My best friend from the gym Kendy was there, and another girl around my age-Sydney, and another girl who moved here from the Netherlands, but before that she lived in Florida, she is around Moniques age and her name is Crosby. We were the level 5's who didn't make it out last time. And then there was a girl named Rachel who scored out of level 5 last time and was trying to score out of level 6.I felt really bad for Crosby when, on the first rotation-beam-she pulled a muscle. She fell twice because of it. She looked sad when she was walking back, so I was going to give her a hug, and I was like it's okay, you can still make it. But then she started yelling ow, ow, and holding her leg. She started crying and sort of collapsed on the ground, crying. everyone was looking to see if she was okay, and I was kinda ticked off because gyms are supposed to have a trainer at meets and this gym apparently didn't have so I was like yelling, "I thought that these gyms were supposed to have trainers in their meets," and looking around with a glare, but then the trainer ran over and shot me a mean look. She ended up competing on the other events, even though she was obviously still hurt.Everyone on our team in that meet scored out. Nothing else major happened, some falls on beam, including me. BTW, I split the beam yesterday and it hurt soo bad, but it's not the first time I've done it. Umm, I hurt my ankle a little on floor, but I used Crosby's ice when we were on vault. My steps were off on my first vault and I ended up taking off of the wrong foot on my second one.Sydney fell twice on bars and Kendy fell once. I, however, had an awesome bars which I will have to post.After the meet we invited all of the kids who competed with me to a bbq, but crosby had plans already, kendy was too tired, rachel left before she got our address, so only Sydney could come. We slid down the basement stairs on a mattress and ding-dong ditched my own house, which was pretty pointless because my dad waited by the doot the second time and scared me. And we flipped around the house and yard.So, yea, that was my amazing day, and now my scores, which are a lot lower than when I competed AAU, but they're pretty good for USAG:beam: 8.4floor: 7.925vault: 7.9bars: 8.575all-around: 32.8I need a 31 to score out. Last time I missed it by .15...anyway, I will try to post videos soon.

Gymnastics

u guys r probably tired of hearing about my gymnastics, but i have a meet coming up this weekend, my second and hopefully last level 5 meet, and since i didnt get the scores 2 score out last time im really scared. also, my best friend from gym might quit after the meet (she didnt make it out either) and that is just mean. actually, if she wants 2 quit i will try 2 understand, but then id never get 2 c her :'(

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Kelsey!!!!!

in case you haven't heard: Opa's surgery went well (that's what the doctors say) and I'm getting yelled at for wanting the next book in this really really good series, the first book is called Twilight and it's about this girl who is madly in love with this vampire that craves her blood, the whole vampire family ends up saving her life, it's really really good. the end of the book had the fist chapter written there so i read it and the girl was bleeding from a paper cut and broken glass and when she looked up from her bleeding arm there is 6 ravenous (that's the word they used in the book) vampires staring at her, but there are 7 vampires in the room. and i'm not aloud to go to the book store while only dad is here so i'm trying to distract myself, but i'm dying to know what happens.

okay, so this is funny, you guys started school this week, but i don't start school for another three weeks. (and i don't have to ride the bus!!!)

camprock

last week in church i went to the middle school group thing and there was a concert which was very kewl. this week i went (2day) and the same band was there (they're called unhidered) and the theme was just like the movies, and they were talking about camp rock and then they tried to sing play my music. it was sooo funny. they had all the music and everything. but when they got to the mu-sic's in my soul and i can hear it everyday and everynight, its the one this on my mi-ind... music's got contro-ol... that part, he was off key on the mu-sic it was hysterical!
i g2g go watch the olympics, ttyl!

too much practice!!!

practicing 5 hours a day 4 days a week is a little too much for me to handle. im limping around with multiple slight injuries, but soon we'll be done with summer schedule (school starts august 11th) and practices will be shortened. i have a comp. coming up, i am going to try to score out of level 5 so that i can compete in prep. op. 3. the whole level 5 team from last yr. and one other girl from level 4 with me will go to the meet. anyways, i just thought that this blog needed a new post.

These are just a few, but they're the ones that turned out the best.
