Get me outta here!

Either I've just been busy or I've gotten bored of blogging. I'm going with the second reason. But I figured it was about time to blog. I wish I had as much dedication to my blog as I know others do. But I feel like it's impossible to keep up with EVERYTHING!!

I've started doing live chats for JTF, and they've been going really well. I enjoy them. Their entertaining, and I think in a way they're making me sane and make me want to continue my work for CHDs. Join The Fight has 2,678 fans. That's 2,600 more then I ever thought possible. Almost 3,000. How many 18 year olds can say they have a site for a cause that has almost 3,000 fans? I don't really think many can.

Lately- I'm been in the grouchiest mood ever. I don't know if it's because all I do is go to school and work, and that I basically feel abandoned by all my friends, or whether or not it's just because I want out of here.  I've noticed I've been tuning the people around me out. I feel like I'm too involved in technology. I'm either on my laptop, texting on my phone, or have my ear phones in. Technology has taken over my life. And I'm starting to feel it physically... I go to placement, come home and get on my laptop, go to my other class, come home and go on my laptop until midnight then go to bed and get up and do it all over again.

Another thing is, I hate my town. It's just.... bleh. I need out of here, I need a change. I just need out. I'm one of those kids who NEVER EVER moved. Not once. I always thought that it was cool that I never moved, because I didn't have to make new friends, but I'm now kind of wishing I had. I need a change from this house, this area. It's like when you hear that song that the radio and T.V keep playing and it become over played.

I'm 18 and I feel like I've turned into an over played song.

I've turned very anti-social lately and I'm thinking it's because, well... I have basically no friends in my town. The ones I do have, well... trying to make plans with them is like explaining Algebra to a brick wall. Useless and a waste of time.

The next two months are NOT going to help either. I mentioned that I'm working and I'm in school, I'm also helping plan a walkathon AND assistant stage managing a school show...

HELLO world of no sleep :) !

I want summer to come... and FAST!

ON A HAPPIER less depressing note - I get to see Aaron Pritchett in 23 days! I'm SO excited. He's an awesome artist and a great person who is crazy enough to put up with my DM's on Twitter. Some of which are just down right pointless!!

If you're on Twitter, you should follow these people (listed below). They have made a difference in my life, and I love each of them for it. They've helped me in many ways, even if there isn't a way that's equal enough for me to help them OR they're just down right worth following:

Cora, Olympics, CHD Awareness week. Unstoppable.

Cora was 5 days old when she passed away from an undetected heart defect. Her Mommy, Kristine has been working very hard, and especially in the past week. Kristine has been guest posting on blogs like a mad woman. she's amazing. I really do look up to her for what she's done and continues to do. I tell her constantly, but words will never be able to describe how proud I am to be her friend.

Earlier this week, in CHD awareness style, I had a Live Chat on Monday night and it was a great success. There was a lot of great talk. It was a little bumpy at first, but hey. It was my first time putting together a Live chat. And we had 15 viewers for our first live chat. Tuesday night, I worked really hard to make the Cora's Story Video. It has had 145 YouTube views in three days and over 60 comments on Facebook.

I must say, Join The Fight: CHD has the BEST fans on Earth. We are currently sitting at 2,255 fans. It's increible what JTF has turned into... I've been told it's a place for families to connect, to get advice, to share stories, to gain friendships, and to help through the tough times, and I'm fine with that. I started JTF not knowing where it would go. What would happen. Would it even be a success? I seriously thought I wouldn't even hit 100 fans. But in the past two and a half months it has sky rocketed into something amazing. Something that I never imagined. I have become friends with many, many different people from so many different places. It's beyond unbelievable.

Last night the 20l0 Vancouver Winter Olympics started. With that was the tragic death of a Luger from Republic of Georgia. I wanted to take a moment and state that my thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and fellow athletes. This accident could have easily been avoided if Canada (and I am slightly blaming Canada for this... mainly the track developers) had of padded up the metal polls and put some type of netting there, the young man killed could have lived. He may have been badly beat up, but he would have had his life, which is the most important thing. On a happier note for the 2010 Olympics. Canada womens hockey team completely kicked Slovakia's butt tonight with an 18-0 victory while setting an new Olympic record. Congratulations to the Canadian Women's Hockey team. One sport I am rather looking forward to is one of the Snowboarding events. One of the females who attends my high school is competing in, I believe, the half pipe. I will indeed be cheering her on.

A ran across a song that's on the USA Team Olympic Soundtack (Just to verify, I am rooting Canada on 2,255%) but I loved it. I thought the words fit how I feel about what's going on with me, and what's going on around me right now.

So, so you made a lot of mistakes
Walk down the road a little sideways
Cracked a brick when you hit the wall


Yeah, so you didn't do your best
Pull you down faster then a sunset
Hey, it happens to all of us
When the cold hard rain just won't quit
And you can't see your way out of it


You find your faith has been lost and shaken
Here's your chance and it's worth taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
You've got the strength to raise the win
Remember what one dream can do
You are unstoppable


You, you can weather any storm
Don't you know that you were born to win
Oh, you'll find a helping hand when you need it most
A lighthouse shining on the coast
That never goes dim
When you're backs against the was
When you stumble when you fall

You find your faith has been lost and shaken

Here's your chance and it's worth taken

Get on your knees and dig down deep

You can do what you think is impossible

Keep on believing, don't give in

You've got the strength to raise the win

Remember what one dream can do

You are unstoppable

Like a river keeps on rolling
Like a North wind blowing 
Don't it feel good knowing

Yeah

You find your faith has been lost and shaken

Here's your chance and it's worth taken

Get on your knees and dig down deep

You can do what you think is impossible

Keep on believing, don't give in

You've got the strength to raise the win

Remember what one dream can do

You are unstoppable

You are unstoppable

So you made a lot of mistakes
But you got back into the game
You, you are unstoppable

Anyways, It's bedtime. I work in the A.M. Hope you all have and Awesome Saturday night and Sunday!
