Blast From the Past

So I have been going through some of my things that have been burried away in boxes and drawers. I found a little diary that I wrote in my younger years. I read some through some of the entries which were pretty amusing then I found this hilarious entry that I wrote when I was 13 and thought you might enjoy it. I laughed so hard when I read it. Enjoy!!

I'm in the seventh grade now and I dont take crap from anybody.

Roots Before Branches


So there is this somewhat new song that I have just fell in love with called Roots Before Branches by Room For Two. I love the lyrics. I think they just say everything! Love it! Here they are:


So many things
To do and say
But I can't seem
To find my way
But I wanna know how
I know
I'm meant
For something else
But I don't know how
Oh, why do
I reach for the stars
When I don't have wings
To carry me that far?

I gotta have
Roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know Who I wanna be
And faith
To take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world
For me

Sometimes
I don't wanna feel
And forget the pain
Is real
Put my head
In the clouds
Oh, start to run
And then I fall
Seein'
I can't get it all
Without my feet
On the ground

There's always a seed
Before there's a rose
The more that it rains
The more I will grow

I gotta have
Roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know
Who I wanna be
And faith
To take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world
For me

Whatever comes
I know how to take it
Learn to be strong
I won't have to fake it
Oh, you're understandin'
Oh, but when you come
And do it best
There ain't nothin'
To stoppin' east to west
But I'll still
Be standing
I'll be standing

I gotta have
Roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know
Who I wanna be
And faith
To take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world

I gotta have
Roots before branches
To know who I am
Before I know
Who I wanna be
And faith
To take chances
To live like I see
A place in this world
For me

I gotta have
Roots before branches

My Lucky Charm!!!



As mentioned in the post below. Mini Coopers are my favorite cars. I can't put a date on when the obsession started but I'm guessing around the sixth grade when my teach got one and drove it to school. It was the most beautiful car I had ever seen. Well over the years Mini Coopers have become good luck charms. Whenever I see one I get really excited and scream. Watch out if you are near me when I see one because you just might lose your hearing.


Once I was driving with my friends family in their car. I was behind the driver (her Father) when I saw a Mini Cooper and of course I screamed with excitement right into her Father's ears. He wasn't to happy about it. :)


There are all types of Mini Coopers and colors. I don't really have a favorite, they are all so beautiful, but I really do like the red ones with the white stripes.
At the Mini Cooper website you can learn all about the different types of Mini Coopers, build your own Mini Cooper!!!, and play fun games. Check it out!
