I just wrote a long depressing blog about how I am sad that everyone thinks of me as negative. I deleted it because that is totally ironically stupid. Besides, contrary to popular beliefs, I am hardly every depressed! I am so happy right now I just thought, whats the point of whining over something that i think i am improving? i just want to be known for my hits not just my misses.

Moving on; Carrie and I are teaching cell tomorrow! I am so pumped for it! I love making all the outlines, looking up verses and organizing the information into an interesting facts. I do not feel stressed at all. The Lord totally has his hand on this teaching, I can feel it. I just hope I dont screw it up beforehand. I am going over 2 attributes of God: ompnipotent and love. Have you ever had the feeling when you just realize how amazing God is? It kind of feels like a refresher. Every couple of weeks, God just reminds me of how amazing he really is and what an awesome thing he did for us! I mean, how come I am so selfish when he did this selfless act-for me!! Wow!

I lost my tennis match in tennis class today. It was fun playing, but I realize i hav just gotten worse from starting the class that is supposed to improve my ’skills.’ I am apparently random when happy.

I am happy. I am joyful! The Spirit is in me and I cannot stop praying. I love the feeling of God loving me. I only hope that everyone else can know this feeling too. Including Courtney, Kenni, “Stefanie” lets call them, even J! How awesome is it to have the Body of Christ as a family? Thank you, Lord! i feel as though all of my problems are solved forever except for the fact that my World history book is waiting to be read and the review worksheet for the test is not completed. I hardly know the names of the battles for the test tomorrow and have forgotten to get ads for the newspaper for the past 2 months. I dont mind, as long as i can sleep with this feeling… heck, I don’t think I will be able to sleep!

goodnight!

___ So b i have been told the i am better than you feeling is very common in melancholy temperments. i know i definitely used to feel it all the time. but right now, i wish i was what you guys are. i dont feel better than anyone. i really wish i was anele because she is overall perfect. spriitual, pretty, funny, smart and charming. Adi is pretty, spiritual, artistic and has a good way with words. asta, dont evern get me started. b and kyle’s faith is so strong i would give anything to be like them.

Me and my sister have talked about this feeling too. she tells me how she is more mel than she thought and how she looks down on a lot of people. and when the do you ever feel that way? question omes up, i say no because i am overall jealous of everyone because everyone seems to be better than me. so in that case why not try to work harder and get something your good at so peope could look up to you and maybe someone will tell you that THEy want to be like YOU.

Problem is, im not good at anything in particular. like i know i can write-a little (even though joe doesnt like my style of writing,) i can run and..uh… talk. not even. oh wait, i am pretty darn good at sleepin. no ferreal: katie taught me how to use photoshop and i like to ddesign clothes. but adi can say she is awsome at art, marena is the star runner on track (and she is 14) asta is amazing softball player and all sports player, coutrney rocks at soccer, kyle is a good teacher, jordan plays basketball, katie sings& acts & stuff.. i dunno i have just always wanted to be excellent at something… okay done with that, bad feelings gone, whatever not a big deal but its a blog, right?

torn between two lovers part:

to go to a playoff game would be friggin sweet, which i have probably expressed to a lot of people who are annoyed by now. [and if you are annoyed with reading about they cavaliers, you can stop now, i dont like you either] i dont know if to get tickets you have to buy a 08-09 season pass and thats the only way or what? BUT i had entered this contest for a chance to buy 2 tikets to a game. ha! you have won the chance to purchase tickets!! how redic does that sound?

Well, i got the email and am all like psshht i would never go but i just read it to my mom and she was like, oh wheres my phone? call dad! so actually, my dad is all into the idea and if we get the 33 dolla seats, that aint horrible. (plus you get a free shirt and towel if you go right? sweeet.)

Well we would go to game five round one or the first home game of round two. I soo hope they win the next 2 games to get this round overwith cause i REALLY want to see them play boston (which i am pretty positive that that is who they are playing.) it would be an interesting game with wally and delonte from the celtics previously and boston is good mayyyunn!

and if they win the next two games, the round will end and i will not go to game five on its scheduled wednesday but to a round two game which would not be on that particular wednesday.

and also, after emailing the Q, cavs.com, cavs team shop and this cavs person, someone emailed me back (right before i was going to call them.0 so i am finally going to get a delonte west jersey and hope that he doesnt get traded like larry did a year after i got HIS jersey.

so. this weekend was great i am just being very negatiive about it.

FRIDAY.
i like fridays, you know? almost as good as saturdays! Well this friday was particularily special cause i didnt have to sit at home! yes!! After school, a bunch of us girls went to Katie Dodds house to watch an excellent movie called Rose Red. Cody, BK and Dodd happened to be there but it was still enjoyable. We had many complications with retarded family video DVDs so we did not get through it… it was great though.
After that ‘party’ i went home for about 5 minutes only to get a call from anele telling me she could pick me up for lindseys party… okay. So i changed and went. arriving apon the specific house of the foraker’s, it was surprisingly empty compared to what i had expected. Besides that point, they had great brownies and awesome food. I stayed there till about 10:30 id say and left with tom and anele. Lindsays party wasnt that fun id say but it wa–but i didnt get to talk to lindsay at all–and you know i just have to talk to the birthday girl, i mean its only the polite thig to do. well while there, i talked to cody and NL mostly, it really was great! then jessie (my lil budd) asked if i wanted to sleepover. I had to decline the invitation seeing as though i had a wedding to attend to in the morning.
oh yeah, after leaving with tom and anele, he dropped us off at katie dodds house-yet again! for another movie. This tim ‘the boogie man!’ contrary to what you may think from el title, it was one of the scariest things i have every seen. thinking about it now, im not sure why i was so scared. well there was a lot of drama between anele and cody the whole 3 parties and one thing i learned is that when people ask my advice, they dont actually want it. Everytime cody asked me something and i would tell him what he should do, he did the exact opposite. It is actually really funny.
Arriving home, i went right upstairs and slept.

SATURDAY.
Saturday i traveled to Cleveland with the famm (minus adi who was working) in pursuit of Daiva and Tomas’s wedding. Driving through the streets, i kept a keen eye out for D.West though i knew PERFECTLY well i was NOT going to see him. It was just fun it was. Well, katie, daddy and i had to sit through a whole friggin church thing and i remembered why i hated that church so much. The thing is, not only was it CATHOLIC with the complete SIT, STAND, KNEEL routine, it was in complete LITHUANIAN so i didnt understand a miserable word comming out of the frail old man’s lips! So throughout the ceremony, as my second cousin Daiva sat looking gorgeous, me and dad composed a series of silent games to go unnoticed. One of which involved pushing katie around who sat in between us. Also, katie and dad were playing with these little clips on the back of the pews which dad said were used to hold little kids toungues if they were bad. Outside, i had the pleasure of meeting Zoe, my uncle’s new girlfriend. She was very nice and later (at the reception) my dad had the chance to witness to her and he said it went very well. In between the wedding and the reception, we watched benchwarmers at my Ciutes house. I had to wear a dress then to the reception and sat at table 8 with a man who looked like Bono. Most of the time we were the only ones dancing, adi & i. Well we stayed late and passing heidi, as she proclaimed Kansas’s win and mistaking the year (too much to drink of course), we left. Comming home, i plopped down and slept.

SUNDAY.
Waking this morning with a sore throught and a headache, i wasnt in the mood to do anything. So after sitting around ‘cleaning’ my room, we went to bundle the branches of the half of the tree that fell down in our backyard, poor guy. There was a discussion about track but i dont want to go back. So cleaning my room watching LOTR (look it up), all three, led me here, while mom is gone and me taking a break from doing nothing but throwing away endless piles of receipts, clothing tags, old socks and granola bar rappers in my room. So leaving you to go to myspace and leave a comment on Delonte West’s page, i shall say farewell.

CHAO MO-FOs!

love, ms. elli marie

too bad i TOOK this picture!! haha be jealous of the view, be jealous!

Additional Information

in this picture, if the camera was pointed slightly to the left, you could see me.. well where i was at that very game of course they won and it was DWest’s game–for sure.

that was a good day…
anyways basic doctrine shoved lots of information into my head that i will probably forget if i dont study, and i dont study. I am determined to not fail this class and cannot wait for next time. The only thing i am nervous about are the memory verses.
i was trying to convince jon to go tuesday but he got angry at me (and note, i am ALWAYS angry at him b/c he is so frustrating.) And i tried to again today, he got angry again but i was not angry at all probably because i prayed before hand ))). a very mad sad and rude little man. poor guy.

SOO in J2 we was talkn bout J2 nxt year. Kyle said mike was going to take over sports editor next year and he said it like he was positive and i looked up and wa crushed. i totally wanted to be sports editor! trying to redeem himself once he saw the look on my face (so it seems) he said and elli will be editor in chief. psh, who wants to be editor in freaking chief!?! i said no way, of course and he asked me what i would want to be i said i didnt know. waiting until he turned around, i said sports… whatever i probably wont even do it next year, im just being a bitter old hag. next year for sure i am doing field hockey and basketball. maybe lacrosse but who knows. my mom suggested soccer. truthfully, i hate playing soccer with a bunch of xenos people ranging all shapes and sizes. but playing with a bunch of girls my age, i know i could do (i learned that in gym class.) so i know all xenos people think i suck and i admit it. so i wish i wouldve done field hockey this year so i could try soccer next year. soccer is a very fun sport and one of the only ones i enjoy playimg other than basketball (which indeed my suckyness has increased most profoundly over the span of one year.)

Well, i am excited for tonight because lauren is comming again! she is super stoked and soo amm ii! I have to remember to call stefi or else i will surely die. and i have to clean the bathrooms, and read great expectations.. heck im just making a list here arent i!
oh shit, i have to work on my laX story too!! HAHaAAAAA.. okay, no cavs tonight for me

!hasta manana!

p.s. how do you change the background? the font is way too small, anyone know?

Additional Information

so i deleted my last blog before anyone could read it cause that was pretty depressing so i’m just gonna talk about my weekend like any normal person would do. (*ahem* clears throat and loosens tie…)
“Where to begin…”

FRIDAY
Friday is an awesome day. Not this particular friday but the day in general. I happen to like fridays as any other highschooler does–because you get to party over the weekend. Me, being only to one of these such kind of ‘parties’ was rather looking forward to a birthday party, you know, old fashioned birthday party.
Friday i, of course, had track. Everyday all day (it seems) 2:30 to 5:30 and all i did was practice blocks which was no help at all and my performance took a negative plunge by the end of the 3 hour time period. And the track also dyed my hands black for a couple days.
Upon getting home, i find a voicemail from andie informing me of cellgroup plans to meet at aribica. Calling Indre to confirm, we moved it to my house. I had forgotten why i dont like cell group at my house: whenever someone wants something, they send me running the whole house to get it. whatever, i should probably have a more serving attitude towards these girls.
The sad things this friday were taht i hurt my leg from thursday still and lauren was not able to come to cell. The uplifting thing was that we had 8 girls at cell including fumi, annie, shelby, caitlyn, me, nl, schloe, and shelly. After dressing Andie at glu-ton, the gals left and i was left with adi to watch the nanny diaries. which is a great movie, harvard hottie & mrs x–haha.

SATURDAY
los sabados, ash tave mi lou. (which means: saturdays,–spanish– i love you–in lithuanian definitely not spelled right–). Anyway, i love saturdays. But yet this saturday was a lazy one. I had waken up quite early for me at nine thirty and after reading fallen back asleep. waking again at one forty five to webkins on the computer entertaining my little sister, i lazed around more. All i rememeber is showering dressing and leaving for ct. Ct was cool, i liked the queerdo lithuanian in keiths athiest movie. But after ct was interesting, somehow very depressing seeing as though i am stupid and think about things way too much. To sum it all uup:
-i made an ass out of myself with jeff 9sorry jeffis :[ )
-tom talk ug
-tried to dance with people but couldnt fit in anywhere as usual… (tellling you people, i am not in a certain group, i have my own)
-became depressed after watching the guys friendships and how close they were and realized my two best friends werent there. (asta and adi was dropping someone off.)

SUNDAY…
sunday, im just gonna make a list:
-looked for a puppy (useless)
-farted around
-went to watch the awesome, glorious, fabublous, sexy-ous, awesomeous cavaliers.
1 courtney came
2 we had amazazing seats!!
3 awesome chocolate stuf ))
4 have decided my future husband (delonte west)

So it was good, then bad, then okay, then looking up info of mista west last night to photoshop was great haha just kidding.

AWEOSME taht stefi and tiffany came to word!!

delont west thanks…

then jocelyn just brightens up my day, however frustrating it is getting her to hang out.
shes dating skinner again, hes pretty cute but i dont know the guy.. whatever
so she tried to pick a guy out for me.
about to say #4 DD, i cut her off in explaining that im going to marry delonte west and become elli west. this satisfyed her and some giggles then we ran into jordan.. blah blah blah/
i decided to quit track so i just skipped it. it was nice walking with katie and courtney again… and getting home early, i got to talk to adi.

it was okay.
im still determined to meet delonte
