Picture perfect

You know those days when you realize just how much you hate being under someone's control? Yeah, story of my life for the past two days. Two days may not seem like much, but in this house, two days might as well be two hundred years.
From the outside I'm sure we look like some kind of family that belongs on the cover of "Utah valley magazine". Two kids who are both active in the church, play sports, and are honor roll students. Little can anyone see that living in a house like ours, is anything but easy.
Before you start thinking crazy things, we always get dinner, we don't get beat or anything but for some reason, I can't do this anymore.
The moment your name becomes a derogatory insult, you wanna cry.. The moment you get told to pack up cause your going to go play maid at your grandparents house who live 3,000 miles away, you wish you hadn't left your asics at school so you could run away. Literally. To the end of the world and never come back.
But what kills you most is having your own dad tell you you're a waste and the moment you graduate, he wants nothing to do with you. While your mom just glares at you as if you brought all this upon yourself.
I hate living here. Oh so much.. I can't stand being under the leash my dad wants me on. This is exactly why I hate mexican culture.. Men are not above women. I'm not going to treat anyone with any sort of respect who doesn't do the same for me. Ever.
I don't know why i got delt the card I did, but all i know is that I have one hell of a best friend who I can always call and bawl to. It kinda sucks when the person who you have to go to isn't in your family. That your actual family are the ones that you want close to nothing to do with simply because they don't realize anything other then what they want.
Picture perfect my butt.
Get me out of here yesterday.
I quit.

this weekend when everyone ventured off to another day at school and it's rousing homecoming festivities, me and 43 other kids sat on a charter bus awaiting a rousing 6 hour trip to bosie idaho. why you may ask are 44 teenage kids willingly missing their senior/junior/sophomore homecomings???

well, for the seniors, we're either super duper dedicated to the well being of our team, or we didn't get asked cause boys are noobs.

we were headed to one of the most intense races of the season.

bob firman.

there were 11 states represented and well over 2,000 runners there.

pretty much, this race is a huge deal.

while we were on our warm up, these two boys ran by us and looked at our jerseys and said "you guys are mountain view...? like the famous one..?"

yes weird boys. we are the famous mountain view. jealous much?

then they kept on bugging us about our current team.

weirdos. but i guess it comes with the running shorts.

we ended up doing really well actually:)

we took third again:)

yay jay-vee girls!!:)

i'll post pictures once i get mine back and i'm not mooching time off my parent's..

the night before, as tradition calls for, we bought a goldfish. last year, coach's kid threw him into the lake we race around.. but we took better care of him this time!! he made it almost home..then he died...:( because TWO missionaries (or soon to be ones) didn't give xavier bjorn firman a blessing through the phone:(

but over all, i am SO glad i ended up racing. it was such an amazing race and trip. i heart my team:)

because i'm a girl

because i'm a girl, i have opinions:) 

about everything. 

whether i choose to express them, or not, is a different story. but trust me. they're there

from tampons, to the holy war this weekend. 

being a girl sucks. sometimes. but once we all get that lovely visit from aunt flow, we hate it. 

and by the third day...i really just wanna dance. 

ha. hahahahahahahahahah. 

yes. this is exactly why i spend a dollar more on tampons. because of this commercial

it kind of makes my life. 

and who doesn't want colorful tampons??? it just makes the worst week in the month, THAT much better:) 

now on to the 

HOLY WAR!!!

 

this lovely man had this to say in 09

""I don't like Utah," former BYU quarterback Max Hall said after the Cougars beat the Utes in 2009. "In fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program, I hate their fans, I hate everything ... I think the whole university, their fans and their organization, is classless. They threw beer on my family and stuff last year, and they did a whole bunch of nasty things, and I don't respect them, and they deserve to lose.""

Jerk. 

but now BYU has this man...
