My Own little Island.

I am tired of drama.  I am tired of people making big deals of things that are insignificant.  I am not a people person, not anymore anyways... There are so many people out there who die everyday, every minute, just because of someone thinks they're all big and bad... So, what makes you all big and bad?  Pulling a trigger, and taking someone's child, or someone's parent away from them?  In my opinion, that makes you sick and sadistic. I don't understand why violence seems to be the only answer these days.  Crime is at an all time high, and when I hear my friends talking about who they hate, all I hear is "I'm going to beat him/her up" or "I just wanna kill her/him!"  Why there's so much drama and so much violence is beyond me.  I would love to live in a peaceful country, where there isn't any violence.  If I ever become so rich I don't even know what to do with, I would buy an island, out in the middle of the ocean, where nobody could get to it without a boat.  The laws on this island would be simple, SHUT UP, and GET ALONG.... It'd be pretty amazing dontcha think?(:

Persuasive Speech Techniques

The persuasive technique I would choose for my speech, is to appeal to the audience's emotions.  My topic is dogfighting, which I'm strongly against.  If I show my audience the effects of dog-fighting, and make them aware of the rewards, possibly it could help them decide not to do it, or maybe even turn someone in that does do it.  Dog-fighting is very serious, and animals are harmed because of it.  I could relate their pets with the pets that are being pinned against each other in these sadistic events.  Photos would also be a great way to appeal to the audience's emotions.  The HSUS has some great pictures of dogs that just look so depressed.

Goals, Stress, Soccer.

Junior..When I was little, this sounded like it would be such an accomplishment... Yet, now it seems like just another small goal.  Next year I'll be a senior.. I've been through a lot in my years of school.  There's so many things that I've learned, there's things that have made me a stronger, better person.  I love being able to say "I'm almost done!"  That statement is false though.  After highschool, I still have years of college to go through.There's so many things left to do in life, it's like a never-ending to-do list. I'm ready for college, yes, but that doesn't mean I'm not nervous!  There's many things in my life that make me nervous... Snakes, airplanes, chickens (when they aren't cooked), math problems, essays, and incredibly complicated things!  I want to scream somedays!  There's just some things in this world that I wish I could hide from.  Like graduating? I'm scared! That's the final step of my high-school career! I really shouldn't stress as much as I do right about now, but I do.
Anyways
Last night, I did amazing during our game, I don't mean to be all conceited and whatnot, but I was.  I've never been so proud.  I loved it(=
The only things I have time for these days would be school, soccer, work, chores and other clubs... If I'm not doing one of these things, then I'm doing something else.  I barely have time to sleep these days.  I go to bed around eleven, and then wake up at 7! I can't wait for socce to be over to be honest, that way I have more time to do other things!

It may not be my Birthday but...

I'm hoping for a win tonight.  Going into a game with no idea the skill or talent of the other team? That might just help our team win tonight.  I'm so stoked! We just need to go in there like our bottoms are on fire, and then maybe we won't be so cold!  It's FREEZING!!! I do not understand why it must  get so gosh darn cold outside.  Danielle says it's perfect soccer playing weather, I beg to differ.  It's more like perfect campfire weather.  Campfires... That sounds amazing right about now.  I would love to go to a bonfire!  The soccer team was talking about  having one, but we just aren't completely sure about it yet.  I love marshmallows, and I love campfire foods!  I just don't like the cold part.  I hate when I move away from the fire because I got to hot, and then I freeze my bottom off! Really?!  Does it have to be this cold!!!!!!
Anyways, Winning this game would be a perfect LATE birthday present for Danielle, Kendall, Morgan and me.  Kendalls' was a couple days before, Danielle's was yesterday, Morgan's is the nineteenth and mine was Friday.  Oh, how I love birthdays.!!!
-Stephhh!

My birthdayy(=

Today's my birthday.  I'm in a pretty decent mood, but then again, I'm still not completely happy about the break-up, yes he deserves it with having a side-girlfriend and all, but I'm just not all there right yet.  I like this new boy.  I've known him for a while, but never really talked to him before this year.  He's prety cool, and he's a decently nice person.  He isn't like most of the boys at this school.  He actually cares about stuff, not just (insert 3 letter word), and things that relate  to it. It's a secret who he is...for now(;
