Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011

Dear Someone,

Tomorrow is New Years Eve meaning 2010 is coming to a close.
I looked back on the year that has just slipped by and it was a good year.  It makes you realise how things can change so drastically in such a short amount of time. It's crazy to think about honestly.
Also. I realise I'm pretty much ending and starting this New Years holiday the same way I did last year.
Going up to the mountains with my best friend, going to a big fancy cabin, having amazingly delicious crab legs and clam chowder for dinner and being with the same crowd.
I am now getting a sense of comfort in that.  I mean look how my 2010 turn out! I made the friends I know I will be keeping for a really long time, I made some silly mistakes that made me a better person, I.... I got a car and my license :D That's last one HAS to be the coolest one(:
So, this going to the mountains thing might be good luck for me(:
I wouldn't change that at all(:
So, Goodbye 2010, HELLO 2011!!

Just Thought I would Let You Know

Dear Someone,

I miss someone.
No. Not you.
Another someone.
That someone probably wont read this ever...
Well, on the off chance you do.
I just thought I would say that I kinda sorta miss you.

Wow, I love how that got all cheesy towards the end.  You know with the rhymes and stuff. But it's true. Very LAME but very true.

Writers Block Sucks...

Dear Someone,

SO! I'm in Indiana at the moment to spend some quality time with my cousins during Christmas(:
Me and my family. We drove here. All one thousand miles from Colorado to Indiana. Fun right?
Wrong.  I hate long car rides... I wish we flew.
I mean it had its fun moments like singing along to the radio with your sister and having a good laugh with every one.
Everything else kind of sucks.  Like the part were you find your self waking up in a twisted up fashion and your whole body is sore... Yeah that's not fun.
But what I personally think is worse then ALL that is when you can't sleep and you are just sitting there looking mindlessly out the window, watching the world pass you by at about 74mph... And you cant think of anything to write yet you're in the writing mood.
See, I like to write on any scratch piece of paper I can find (seriously during the school year I have a very big notebook devoted JUST to that every thing... I know not good but hey, I don't need to know about what the gooey stuff on the inside of a cell is called to be the writer of young adult novels. . .)
ANYWAYS,
I always think that oh hey! Maybe driving long distance, getting out of that same rut and being around the same people every single day might change the fact that I have MAJOR writers block.
...It doesn't.
Lame right? I should be able to think of maybe a young attractive prince riding on the back of his horse set out to go and find his princess.... OR maybe... a girl is going across the country to go see her older sister the in process runs into some guy (soon to be the love of her life) and get mixed up in some crazy thing and... SEE I can think of SOMETHING when I'm just sitting here, in my cousins house where I can't really write all that well, but not when I'm sitting in a car for over eight hours in the day bored out of my mind.
Crazy how writers block works huh... :p

Call Me Beep Me If You Want To Reach Me, But I Sugest You Call Me.

Dear Someone,
Today I realized that no one really calls anyone anymore. It's all texting, or chatting on Facebook.
But do y'all realise how importaint proper talkng-on-the-phone-skills are??? I guess I am one of the very few people who some what get it. Alright I can still work on it but hey. My talking in general needs some help. Sad huh. I talk all the time and I need help with that still. BuT over all, I try to sound plesant on the phone.
You know how awkward it is that one time you call someone and they just sound utterly bored or pissed off? Well. I find it very awkward you end up just cutting the convorsation short because you just want to end the awkward feeling that is hanging there though the phone line. (well... I guess it's not a phone line because cell phones don't have cords anymore... I think you get what I'm saying though right?)
anyway! I am gonna say that we all just chill with the texting. Give your thumbs a rest and actually talk to someone. Besides that is the only sure fire way to know EXACTLY what they mean because, sometimes in texting or chatting you can't tell if they were being scarcastic or sad or angry in what they said. So. Phone call , try it out! You might be suprised as to how much you like it.

Ok... Maybe Just a Little More Then a Tiny Bit.... :)

Dear Someone,
Short story. Jason's perspective.

"So.. Do you think Stella would um. Go out with me?" Adam asked as we walked down the main stair case at the school.
I stopped and spun around on my heals to looked at him, "What?"
"You know," Adam took a few more steps, reaching the bottom step before me, "If I like. Asked her out."
I was shocked. I had no idea he even liked, "Um..... I'm not sure dude." and honestly. I wasn't. I had no idea what she would say.  Deep down I think she would say no, but you can never be sure.
"Do you think you could find out? Cause if not I might ask out Bailey instead."
"Uhh.... Sure no problem." What... Why was he suddenly trying to get a girlfriend? What. I'm confused.
"Alright. See ya later man." Adam said as he headed down the hall way to get down to the locker room to get all geared up for football.
"See Ya."
I pushed the glass door open and walked out side.  I swung my key's around my finger thinking about what I have to do before tomorrow morning comes around.  
"JASON!" I stopped... I looked to my left. No one.  I looked to my right.  Still no one, "Behind you smarty!"
I spun around.  Stella was sitting against the brick wall. Her jean covered legs streched out in the grass.
I laughed, "STELLA!" I walked over to her and stood by her feet.  She was smiling at me.  I smiled back.  I probably looked so lame.  Normally I would try to be cool and give that head nod then the easy goin smile but, with Stella I just can't help but immediately give that goofy smile.
"Well hey Stella. Didn't see ya there."
She laughed, "Yeah I could tell. You walked right past me."
I got a little embarrasses, "So. What are you doing?"
"Oh you know.  Just getting ready for my take off  in my rocket ship to Mars.  You know I'm gonna be there first human girl to ever go there." She gave a sarcastic smile.  A piece of her wavy brown hair fell from behind her ear.
"Ha. Funny." I gave a fake chuckle, "Why are you still here? Your car in the shop again?"
"No it's here. I drove it today." She shrugged her shoulders and looked down at her legs.  Her eyebrows were slightly pulled together, "Eh I'm just...," She paused for a moment then looked up at me, "I just didn't feel like going home just yet.  So, I'm just sitting here... By my self.  Pretty fantastic huh?"
"Oh well here," I tugged on the straps of my back pack and it fell to the ground with a muffled thud.  I sat down next to her, "Now you have me to sit with."
She gave a fake smile, "Greaaaat...." She said through her teeth.
"Oh. Ow."
She looked back and elbowed my side, "Kidding."
"I know I know."
She looked down and picked her phone up from off the ground.  I pressed a button and looked at the screen, "Ugh..... Stop texting me please." She said under her breath.  She put the phone down with out replying to it.
"Who was that?"
"Adam," She sighed, "He keeps texting me.... Honestly. Kinda getting on my nerves."
"Oh... You know. He wants to ask you out."
SHe blinked at me blankly, "....What." a mix of shock and nausea was clearly visible on her face, "He's ACTUALLY gonna ask me? He's not just saying that?"
I nodded my head, "He's actually gonna ask you."
"But... Why?!"
"Because," I tugged at the end of my shirt, "He likes you."
"Ok... He liked/asked me out last year.. Don't you think he would be over my by now? I'm not that special.."
"Oh Stella don't say that. You are special. You're awesome and amazing and beautiful and fun and pretty eyes and nice smile and," I realised too late that I had said slightly too much. . . Way to go Jason. . . . Just totally made it obvious that you like her.. Alot. But here is a huge list of things why anyone including Adam would just fall for her and never be able to get over, "-you know Adam. He never seems to learn anything involving girls."
"Oh... Yeah this is true. Adam is like that... But I don't like him."
"Ah. Is there another guy who has caught the fair maiden's eye?" I asked.. Why I suddenly started talking medieval. I have no idea.
She tilted her head, one eye brow raised curiously at me, "Maybe." She gave a smile, showing off her teeth.
"Ah. And who might the lucky fellow be?" I joked, but I got that nervous feeling in my stomach.
She didn't say anything. She just blinked, "Ok. Promise you wont laugh?"
"Of course I wont. Unless you say Larry Turtleman... Then I automatically get to laugh."
"EW! No.. He's too weird for me. That and he wears green every. freakin. day... Ick. But. Ok." She paused and messed with the ring on her finger, "I kinda, sorta, have a little bit of a crush on you. Maybe," I blinked. What. No. I'm still in English just having an extremely vivid day dream. This is too good to be true. She bit her lip and looked at me, "Yup... Actually. Its maybe a little more then a tiny bit." She admited, her cheeks turning a light pink.
I looked at her face.  Her hair was getting pushed by the slight warm breeze, covering the left side of her face.  I lifted my hand up pushing some of the hair out of her face.  I started to lean in slowly.  She gave a faint smile and bit her lip, she came closer completely closing the space between us. Our lips lingered there for a moment. Nothing too hot or anything. We pulled apart.
"Stella, if that didn't make it obvious. I'll say it as well... I like you too."
Stella smiled, "Yeah I think I got the hint." and she leaned in again.
