my best friends.

so today, I think I shall blog about my 3 best friends {Alisha, Abby, and Ashleigh}.

First is Alisha. She has been one of my best friends for... two years? Well, a little over that technically. But she's amazing. She's always there for me to talk to her {as long as it's not about Steven anyways. :P} and she gives amazing advice about just about everything. There have been so many times where if I didn't have her, I would've gone crazy! We don't even need to talk, but we still know what each other is feeling, and we say the same thing at the same time a lot. :) She's amazing, and I love her to death! <3


Next is Abby. I didn't meet Abby until about a year ago, but we've gotten superrr close since this summer. She is absolutely freaking  CRAZY, but that's what makes her Abby. She can be a littleeeee mean sometimes {okay, a lot mean. Lol} but she is one of the sweetest girls I've ever met, at least to her friends. She is probably the most unique person I know, just one more thing you gotta love about her. She does some crazy stuff {blue and purple hair} and she's totally random, too. :) She's pretty amazing too, and I loveeee her! <3


Third, Ashleigh. I just met her this summer, and she pretty much hated me, and I could tell, so we never talked. Then came time for our Lotus Leaf bowling day. We talked, and I realized I actually love her. She's only been in the bestfriendship for about 2 or 3 months, but I'm happy she is, becuase she's amazing! She's the farthest thing from fake. No matter what, she will tell you she thinks about you, or anything else for that matter. She's a little blunt sometimes, but that's why people love her. Me and Ashleigh had one day where we just sat and talked, and we just clicked. I don't know what it is, but I love her to death. She's pretty stinking amazing too, and I love her too! <3


and that's why I love my friends! <3

realizing things.

so I realized I only posted bad things, but I have a lot of good things to say today.

even with all the rudeness and jerky guys,
I'm having a pretty good day.

I feel pretty today, and I didn't even do anything with my hair or anything. :)
My best friends are AMAZING.
Tomorrow is mine and Steven's two month {the longest we've ever dated will be in two days}.
I might get to go to the movies and dinner with him tomorrow.
My cousin is coming down tomorrow and staying until Sunday.
Steven and David are coming to youth group on Sunday.

I don't know why I only posted bad things, I have a lot of good things to say. <3

last night.

so yesterday...
after school, me and Steven were supposed to hang out... and then there's Ashleigh... :)
But it's all good, cause I didn't have to go to my grandma's alone.

But then, when my mom came and got us, she made us carry a shelf down the stairs so we could have a shelf to put all of our movies on it. {we have WAY too many} they didn't fit. :(

so we went to Big Lots. this didn't go as planned. we barely looked at shelves. we didn't get one. then, my mom was looking at movies {while we were trying to find a shelf because WE HAVE TOO MANY MOVIES} so me and Ashleigh decided to hide from my mom. then, we started playing "Ninja Pro," as Ashleigh calls it. aka running around the store, hiding from my mom, while she wasn't actually trying to find us. quite fun. :-) it was amazing, actually.

then came Wal-Mart. {also, Ashleigh likes talking in this demon voice she does...} so, we're walking around, playing with cameras, being random. then Ashleigh starts talking in her demon voice every time someone walks by us. pretty stinking great. then we decide, hey, we should link arms and spin in circles as we walk. yeah, that was dangerous. we almost fell, several times.

oh and I should mention that Ashleigh was wearing a headband with panda ears on it. the. whole. time.


but yeah, fun night. :D

Tonight is Brolishaby quizzing/pizza night. Also, our first official Brashishaby night (hopefully!). AKA- Brooke (Br), Ashleigh (ash), Alisha (isha), and Abby (by). Yeah, I have amazing friends, even if they are extremely weird!

And I miss Melanie! :) (p.s. if you're not following Mel, you should! she has awesome blogs!)

Also, I found out one of my friends (a junior in high school) is pregnant...again. Yeah, that's right. Again. She'll have two kids before senior year. Kind of sad, really. So yeah, pray for her please!

So one of my friends wrote a rap in first hour. I'd post it...but it's very vulgar and somewhat inappropriate...okay, a lot inappropriate. Yeah. It's called Physics Class by The Stupid F***'s. Yeah, that's our "band name." AKA Brooke, Mary, Jenna, Sara, and Jasmine. We're cool like that. It's basically about how crappy we are in Physics...we absolutely SUCK. I don't get anything in that class.

Sooo yes, that is all.

Love Brooke. <3

Blog Party ;)

Authentic People Blog Party!

Hey! My name's Brooke! I'm a junior in high school, I have an amazing boyfriend (Steven), and I have three of the best friends a girl could ask for! (Alisha, Abby, and Ashleigh!)

Um, definitely my obsession with making lists. It's really weird, but I do it ALL the time. :)

5} What is your favorite household chore?
Vacuuming cause I can tune out everything, and it's simple.

6} What's your favorite thing to get at Starbucks (or your favorite coffee shop)?
Hot chocolate! I strongly dislike coffee, or anything involving coffee.

7} What is your favorite pizza topping?
Pineapple and ham!

8} Waffles or pancakes?

19} Think fast...what's the first song that pops into your head?
Not Alone by RED!

This was pretty cool actually.

those people you never forget.

I love heart-to-hearts with people. I'm weird like that. Most people have a probably trusting people...not me. I tell anyone who will listen ANYTHING. It can end bad sometimes, but it's just me. I let people in too easily sometimes.
That's why I've started closing off from most people. I don't feel like I can trust some people anymore.
That's also why I now have a small list of best friends.

Alisha B, Abby Y, Makayla B, Kayla C, Ashley J,  Ashleigh J, Katie F, Steven. I think that's it, actually.

Also, Abby Yeary is amazing and she loves her Brookekaka<3

^^^That was Abby, by the way. She failed...it's Barookacka.

Austin is awesome :D

And that was Austin. Austin's pretty cool. He's my "Brother."

 My friends are weird, but I love them.

Anyways, I let people in too easily sometimes, but at the same time, I also make friends very easily. :)

And anyways, back to the heart-to-heart thing, I love them. Me and Ashleigh had a very long one yesterday. :) I don't know why, but I love when people tell ME stuff. I feel included, and that's when I know we're truly friends. :)

november 4th, 2009.

it was two years ago today...
i don't even like thinking about that day, or the previous two or three months...
it was probably the worst months of my life.

i miss you so much...

Homecoming weekend

was ah-mazing!

friday-- me, Alisha, and Abby stayed after school, waiting for my mom to come get us. we hung out with Alisha's brother, Alan, for a little while too. it was fun!! then we went to my house for a little while, then got ready for the parade [gloves, hoodies, headbands]. so we stood outside at the parade, freezing, and got candy from Shawna, waved to Katie and Emily (two of my favorite cheerleaders), and then waved to all my band geeks. :D we walked down to where the parade ended to get Butler, ran so a girl we don't like didn't see us, and, again, froze! then mommy drove us to the Trojan Tailgate, which ended up being me, Alisha, Abby, Butler, Butler's sister Hope, and two of Hope's friends sitting in the bleachers, bored and cold, for an hour! finally, Steven (my boyfriend), Tyler, and Ashley got there, and we went and sat with them, which ended up being me, Steven, Alisha, Abby, Butler, Tyler, Ashley, Bree, Dusty, Dustin, David, Shyann, Jacob, Sarah, Emily, and Peter. fun? I think YES!! After the game, me, Alisha, Abby, Butler, and Emily went to 5th Quarter. Not as much fun, but we got to see everyone. :)

saturday-- we got up, watched Fast Five, Triel came over. Then we had our shaving party in the bathroom, Alisha had a meltdown, did our nails, another meltdown, fixed Alisha's nails and hair, another meltdown....then one MORE meltdown! finally, Steven and Brian (Abby's date) got there. we did last-minute dress changes, and left for Pete's Garage. we got there and all of us had dinner at Pete's with Tyler and Bree (they went together), and Peter and Emily (who are dating). so much fun. then we went to take pictures, my dad came, threatened my boyfriend (typical dad), we froze (I'm sensing a pattern here, yes?). and then, the best part of the night:: the dance! it was amazing. no details, it'd be too long, but here's a couple highlights:: Jessica finally got the hint that I don't like her; Tyler was being a creep, but got ditched by Bree, so I was nice to him; slow danced with Steven<3; Abby and Brian kissed and are dating!!
then we all (everyone from Pete's, minus Bree, plus Sarah, Tyler S, and David) went to Taco Bell, ate, all the guys except Brian left, we went back to my house, Brian left around 1ish, and we watched movies.

sunday-- we woke up, hung out, watched movies, did nothing. then everyone went home. :( buttttt Katie S was at yg for the first time in about a month and a half. :D


so, yeah, Homecoming weekend was AMAZING!<3

what would I do without...

you know, after everything bad in my life, I have to remember that I have my amazing friends, my amazing family, God, and my church "family." <3

I love these people so much. I really do not know what I'd do without any of them!

so, basically, just remember, no matter how alone you feel, there is ALWAYS someone there for you!
<3
