message from the past! O.o

ok so a year ago i sent my self an email to have delivered yesterday and here's what it said:
Dear Future Version of Me,
How is eighth grade? do I have a dog yet? i really hope I do. I love dogs! How was seventh grade camp? Lots of fun probably. I don\'t like peanuts! I still have the expander in. It\'s rather annoying. I\'m so sorry that Cinnamin died. I know that she will be dead by the time I get this. Hopefully eighth grade version of me is smarter and a better musician than the seventh grade version of me. My favorite song of the year is Our Song. give it a listen for me; just for the memories of seventh grade ya know? Well, see you in the future!

Younger version of melissa
p.s. am i still meli?

so now i have a dog, seventh grade camp was really fun, i like peanuts now, i don't have an expander i have braces, cinnamin didn't die we gave her away (she's really old!!! omg! like two years old. well not THAT old, but i wasn't expecting her to live that long), uhm, i think i'm smarter, idk if i'm a better musician, i still like our song but it's not my favorite and idk what is, um i didn't listen to it (i don't listen to myself, oops), and yes i'm still meli.
=)
that was interesting!

CAMP!

i should probably post again, but all the stuff i want to post about will take too long to type and for you guys to read. but too bad i'll do it anyway. even though i have homework to do. lots of it. so the camp was fun and we did lots of stuff like xc skiing, snoeshoeing, tubing (this was really fun because you didn't have to pull your tube back up they latch it to a rope that drags you to the top of the hill! and then at the top you could go down by yourself, or with two people or three or four or five or six... you get it.), and i went to my first hockey game (it was semi-pro and it was inTENSE!!!! there were a bunch of fights and people banging into the walls with only the glass separating me and the person (that was kind of scary since it was so close). it went into over time because both teams had four points! then over time ran out so they did that thing where they take turns shooting into the goals. each team gets five of these. and then both teams had two goals and then traverse city (the team we were rooting for since we were staying there) mad another goal and won! pretty exciting first hockey game!), ice skating, downhill skiing for my first time (i hated this at first because the boots were soooooooo uncomfortable you have NO IDEA HOW MUCH THEY HURT!!!! but then i adjusted them and they felt better. :) and then i LOVED downhill skiing!), snowboarding for the first time (i only went on the bunny hill tho. when we started, we were 1/4 up the bunny hill (which was tiny) i still did really bad. then we went 1/2 up the bunny hill and i did really really bad. the bad thing about going up part of the way was we couldn't use the magic carpet thing to go up. one foot was strapped in, and the other one would have to drag you up. very uncomfortable. and then when you were waiting for your turn, you had to have all your weight on one foot or you would go down the hill and that hurt so much! the way i was angled it just really really hurt. so i mostly sat down. when i went down from half way, the instuctor person held our hands and walked backward with us. that day it was REALLY REALLY icy so it was hard to do anything. when i dragged myself up again and was ready to go down, i had some troubles. first i ran into charlotte. i was trying to turn away from her but it didn't exactly work. she was holding hands with the instructor person. when i ran into her from behind, we both fell and her instructor person caught both of us! it was amazing! he was small for his age i think so it was weird. he was kind of cute tho. =D and when i got to the bottom of the hill, lindsey was just standing there and i still didn't get how to turn. my instructor person told me (after i ran into charlotte) that if i was going to run into someone i should just sit down. i didn't want to run into lindsey so i sat down. i guess i sat down a little too hard because i hurt my tailbone and it still hurts. i didn't really like snowboarding), and ummm we had a new year's party which i told some of you about, and we went shopping down-town, and there was a lot of drama between girls (one girl hated another's guts but the other one didn't know what she did, two girls came together and one said that the other was being different in a bad way and it was because of the girl that the first girl didn't like and blaaaaah.) i found my little clique the first day when i asked if i could play scattagories with them. there were five of us, but one girl kind of pushed herself in after awhile. i didn't mind her, but some other people did. the two girls who came together were in our clique and they kind of stopped talking. it was kind of confusing. they would complain about eachother behind their backs and yea. there were two 11 year olds who seemed annoying at first but they turned out to not be that bad...they were obsessed with the jb's and hung disney poster's all over their room and door. XD our room only had three people in it (the smallest room) and we were really quiet and the counselor's loved us at bedtime. we tried to make mittens one night but mine didn't work out (i couldn't get my hand in!) so i left them there. so the camp was fun and sorry for making a big deal out of it before i went. :( and i'm really sorry for making this post so long but if you read this far, thank you!

winter break so far

on friday we went sledding and stuff. that was fun. it was going to just be grace, michaela, emily and i but ryan and eric were there so we hung out with them. it was fun to go down the slides. i was buried in the snow! we went on the new wave thing (fun) and had a snow ball battle. grace and i didn't have a very good fort but oh well. when we were leaving, we went back to the hill and apparently andy thought that we went there but did't sled... lol. then we walked to michaela's house and had hot chocolate and played apples to apples until we got bored. then we played this one computer game... then grace's mom was being all confusing but she finally picked us up to go to MANGO'S! that was fun. except i was confused. my enchilada had weird cheese. then we all went to blockbuster's and picked out a movie. then some people came over for a sleepover. we watched two movies! after summer left my house, i only had one hour to shower and get dressed to go tobaganing with julia. when we got to the place, we found out that tobaganing was closed! so we rented tubes and sledded. when we got to the sledding hill, eddie and ashwin were there. so that was fun. ashwin and eddie weren't there together so it was weird. ashwin called eddie to see if he wanted to go sledding and eddie said he couldn't because he was going with his family. and they went to the same place! then eddie's family left because eddie was having a sleepover with ashwin anyway.
it got really hot. it was so hard to pull the sled up the hill! my arms are still sore. then julia and i wanted to go down on one sled. we couldn't get it to move so we asked aswhin to push us. that was fun. when we got back up my sled was still there. we wanted to go down together again so we asked eddie to push us. that time when we went back up, my sled was gone!!!!! oh noes!
eddie and ashwin left and julia and i went down one more time. i was reeeeeally tired. julia and i watched the people fixing the tobaning and then i realized i forgot my coat! so then i went back and we went to the lodge for hot chocolate. when we got to the place where you return your sleds, eddie and aswhin were still there. they were waiting for the person to come get their sleds. then we all just decided to go in. we drank yummy hot chocolate. then everyone left and julia ad i and julia's mom went shopping at a store called kean's. that's where she got us christmas presents. i helped julia pick out a vera bradly bag for her sister and then julia and i helped me pick out a present for my dad. then they took me home.
the next day, i went ice skating. that was fun but there was blood all over the ice! it was gross. my sister is learning how to skate backwards which i can't even do.

p.s. merry christmas! happy holidays! happy new year's (which i'm not going to be here for D:)

I am very sad. :'(

i am hating life so much right now. i don't even care that anyone can read this. i just don't care. i cried yesterday because my dad was being really mean and hurting me with his hands and with his words and then later he acted like nothing had happened. he took the door off of this room. it was really weird. so now there's no door... it's so unprivate. :'( when i was practicing yesterday, it was awkward cuz usually i close the door so no one can hear me.
and my friends are not that happy either. some of them are fighting and some of them jsut aren't having the best week.
and anqi's leaving tomorrow! i think i might just start crying about that... no... the last time i got to see her was at the homecoming game and i barely talked to her then! and max is leaving! i want to be friends with max but he thinks i'm creepy... it's so unfair!
and then my mom said that she can't get a refund and i have to go to camp! when i went there in the summer i didn't really like it but now it's going to be in the winter with SNOW!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEW! so i'm going to be gone for NEW YEAR'S! i love new year's!!!!!!! grrrrrrrr. i really hope we're not sleeping in tents. that would be cold... that camp was really bad. don't ask why i signed up for it... just don't ask. i don't know. and i'm going to get back the day before break ends so i won't have any time to recover from camp! or unpack! or anything! you guys have NO IDEA how much i don't want to go to this camp! save me! kidnap me! anything!
and this weekend we have a lot of homework kinda. i don't get the social studies test at all so i'm probably going to fail. i think we have a french test tomorrow but i'm not sure! i have a lot of math homework that i don't get. i have to practice and write my dbe and 3 memoirs and read uglies and UUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!
YEAH!
and i have to do christmas shopping and i don't feel like it! and i have to get my picture taken today!
so lots of little things are making life horrible.
but going to camp is definately the worst.
then there's my friends are unhappy... but idk. maybe they'll be better by monday.
save me from camp!

twilight and thanksgiving and all

okay so i didn't fail my s.s. test. yay! i got a 94% *does a happy dance*

yesterday we went shoppin and it was fun. i was sad because i needed clothes but i didn't actually buy anything. :(

twilight was uber fantastical! that's my new word. it's so long! i don't know many long words... okay so i thought twilight was really good. we (sometimes it was like, the whole theater, and sometimes just us) laughed at some parts that weren't supposed to be funny. like the faces that edward made. so i guess that's why some people say robert pattinson can't act. but i thought the sparkly edward part was pretty good considering people don't actually sparkle! at the end it didn't seem like it was the end at all. the credits came and i was like WHAT?!? it's over!?!? it just like showed victoria's face and then ended... it was weird. but other than that it was good.

happy thanksgiving everyone! i actually celebrated last sunday because my parents thought we were going to holland earlier so they started thawing the turkey and stuff and so they didn't want it to go bad so my mom just cooked it and we ate it and pretended it was thanksgiving. i had blueberry pie from grand traverse pie company! yum! i like pie. except pumkin pie. and key lime pie. and rhubarb pie. and that's about it. cherry pie is okay. the rest are really good. except mud pies! EW! but ya know. the edible ones!

random thoughts

when i was walking to school this morning (earlier than usual so i could sign up for the field trip) i saw a croc foot print in the snow. i was wondering why people would wear crocs when it's so cold out. unless it was the furry kind. a little after that, i saw a duck fly out of the sewage pond river thing and i was thinking "OMG! ducks can fly?" i didn't know that.

a couple days ago if you were sitting at my table at lunch this is what you would hear.
Grace: i'm excited
Ryan: i don't get it
Gabrielle: i dropped my fork
Melissa: sail awaaaaaaaaay.
none of that had anything to do with anything else. i don't know why grace was excited. i know what ryan didn't get. but it sounded funny if you heard all of that. gabrielle was laughing and i asked her and that's what she said.

omg the ss test was soooooooooo hard! i think i failed. i hope i got at least a C!

play and stuff

i'm so sad that the play is over! i'm going to miss everyone! but now i'll get more sleep and i'll have more time, so... it's good that way.

at the saturday performance, after intermission during the time when we didn't have to go one for a reeeeeeally long time, i had to go to the bathroom really really really bad. maddy went with me. when we were in the hall, james was done with his costume change. he was being immature and was blocking my way to the bathroom. i was like, "james! i really have to GO!!!" and i kept saying this over and over. then the rest of the royal navy came out (thomas, hayden, josh, josh, and caban) and i was still saying that and it was embarrassing. finally i got past him. when maddy and i were washing our hands, caban was in the hall and he was like, "what are you guys doing in the women's bathroom?" and we were like, "why wouldn't we be in this one?" and he was like "james why are you in the girls' bathroom???" and i was like, "it's not james! it's maddy and melissa!" and he was like, "yeah right" and he WALKED IN! and i was like caban! what are you doing in the girls' bathroom? and he was like whoa! melissa you sounded exactly like james. and james really was in this hallway. it was weeeeeeeeird.

is it just me or is caban nicer this year? last year he was all like, stay awaaaaaaaaaay from me! and this year during the play he kept coming up and talking to us.

and on saturday night in the dressing rooms, every time sarah and i looked at each other, we would burst out laughing and we didn't know why but we couldn't stop. but sarah looked so funny when she was laughing! i just had to laugh!

the play was sooooo much fun! thanks for all of you who came to see it! this year i got FLOWERS! omg! from vivian and julia and lizzy! thank you soooo much! but i'm really sad that the play is over. i'm gonna miss everyone.

on sunday summer took like 200 pictures! she really likes taking pictures and i don't really but i like having pictures and she doesn't like being in pictures so it all works out.

emily and michaela and natasha got awards! i was totally expecting michaela's and emily's cuz they were so awesome, but natasha's was a surprise.

on friday summer and maddy and i went to culver's with their cousin olivia. we were just like i really hope people we know are there! and max and monique and andrea were there! we really freaked max out. we were like "MAAAAAAX!!! HIIII!! GOOD JOB!" and he was like "hi good job." yeah. we barely knew monique and andrea but we were laughing and talking like we were alll besties. :) so fun.

today was drug awareness day! i actually like the movies they show. they're really sad though. pretty cool for school movies i say. and the classes were shorter so that's always good.

omg the trimester's almost over! this was a reeeeeeeeeally long post. sorry about that. i just had a lot to say.
