Recently, I have felt that I have been slacking off on my 5 year plan. It has been heavy on my mind and I tried to think of anyway I can push myself to get back into it. So, I came up with a 15 year life game plan. I have sucessfuly mapped out the next 15 years of my life; Starting with 2012. To keep myself on that track, I have even written it out on poster board.
The sticky notes around it are to-do lists, success quotes, and a calender. You can't see it but I have written ( in pencil because i might need to change or add things) in every year from now, until 2026 ( three years into working for google) I have the rest of this year, all of high school, and collage until I get my doctorate at 26 ( maybe earlier, Im looking to graduate highschool a year earlier anyways) I have written in all of the classes I need to take, including 3 different languages(4 years for each). This may seem a little crazy, but I think it was a good idea to go ahead and map out an outline of my life for the next 15 years.
I placed this map ( as you can see) on my wall. I hung it over the head of my bed so I see it every time I enter the room, or sit on my bed. I did this because I think that if i look at it enough it will help give me the drive I need to buckle down and get things done. I am very proud of my map.
There are so many things in each slot, for each year, I almost ran out of room. My map gets more shallow and obvious when it reaches about 2017 because once I am into Harvard, I'm not sure what exactly I will need in order to get a job at google. I am doing my research now though.
I know that it will be a lot of hard work and unpleasant work too, but I am willing to do that in order to be successful in my life. I don't want to end up like many people who don't get a proper education to get a proper job.
Lastly, I apologize for not updating my blog as much, but one of my things I need to get are writing scholarships and awards. So I figure blogging can help my skills. I dont really care if my usual 2 people read this anymore ( I dont expect you to anymore anyways) but I'm still going to update it for the sake of improving my writing skills.

I cant think of a title
I dont know why, but I have an urg to watch ^ that! Like really badly too! I have searched online for hourss and I cant find a free version anywhere! Okay, so the first part of that was I lie. I DO know why I realllllllly want to watch lord of the rings all of the sudden. Its because of that v
the movie comes out next december. When I found out about this ( at 3 a.m) I did this v
Btw Fiblert is my friend Cody's nickname. And please disreguard the heart next to his name, he's just a friend. ( Its an inside joke)
Sooo, yeah. That was my random statement of the day. Uhmm. Christmas! Christmas is coming soon! We're having another poor people christmas this year but I dont really care. I made everybody's presents this year so I just cant wait until I see them open their stuff from me. Kristin gave me two letters. One to open two days before christmas and one to open on christmas. So today I get to open my first letter! Im excited! Im just trying to think og the perfect time to open it.
I thinking about posting my blog link to my facebook wall. Im not sure though. I like to think that there are only like 3 or 4 people who actually read this thing. I mean... I dont get too personal on here but idk. I might do it. Then again, im not in a good desicion making time right now. I mean seriously! Its 5:00 am and I havent slept a wink.
Oh! Mac is back! flew in last night around 8. So thats good stuff. Im happy he is here for the holidays! I really dont have much to say about that. Uhmm. Okay. Im going to stop blogging now!
Bye!! Love & Miss everybody! <3

Because I felt like it
So I haven't blogged in a while and I know I should more. Since this is winter break and its insanely long (2 weeks long) i figured I would get back into my normal blogging mojo. I dont have a real topic for this at all. Im only typing this because I felt like it ( and I felt a little bad that I hadnt been updating much) so Im doing this now!
I figure I will just type until something of importance comes out. I hate long breaks from school. I know thats such a dorky thing to say, but its true. I dont miss the work though. Well, i kind of do. Its more about the friends and having something to do all day instead of rotting in my house. Sometimes I even get like this over the weekends. I will get bored and miss school. Im only 4 days into this ( including the weekend) and im already going insane.
Ive tried everything too! After a while, the internet just gets boring and all of my friends are gone for the holidays. Ive watched all the tv I can watch and texted all I can text and internetted all I can internet! Im BORED! Ive even read a few books! Well, Mac is coming into town tomorrow so I guess my boredom will be cured for a few days.
It has crossed my mind that this blog is more of short entries of things that have happened in my life. I think I would like for it to be more of a blog about my feelings and stuff. ( regaurdless of the fact I believe feelings are not real and are irrational) Like an insight into the world of Erin. Or maybe i will just make this a blog of my stupid rants I have ( i.e- why i hate women, why i dont want children, why we should stop exploring the universe, etc.) or maybe I will just do all three! Or maybe I will just do whatever I feel like (like this post!) and not care about entertaining people and just... blog. I dont know. I figure this is a lot of reading to do ( and if your actually reading this all the way through) then your probably getting a bit tired, so here is a picture break for you:
Thats funny and cute at the same time....weird. Its 12:12 am. This is my favorite time of the day because i always like to think of it as what I like to be. Multiple things all at the same time! It can be 12 repeated or it can be 1,2 repeated or it can be 21 backwards twice or it can be 21:21 backwards! It can be sooo many things all at once! Its cool! Well, speaking of the time.. i better head off to bed since its late and I have to video chat with my daddy at 12. soo.. .BYE NIGHTY!
I will blog tomorrow too.

Theifs.
Yesterday, something that made me extremely angry happened. I bet you cant guess it, not at all? Well, I will tell you. Someone on my lovely bus (bus 111) decided that they were to steal my brand new ipod touch ( with inscription on the back)
This all happened fairly quickly. I was sitting in my seat minding my own business when my friend Kristin decided to get into a fake slap fight with me. When this happened My ipod touch fell out of my ear buds. I didnt realize it until the end of our fake fight. I looked all around on the floor, asked all of the people in the seats around mine to look and if they had seen it. I also checked all of my belongings and all over my seat. It was gone. When I proceeded to get off of the bus, I kindly asked my bus driver to let me know if anyone gave her, or if she found my beloveded Ipod touch. No luck.
I guess this was parcially my own fault for being slightly careless with it ( let me remind you it was sitting on my lap as I listened to it) The one thing that angers me the most, is the thought that some little jerk that rides my ghetto bus is enjoying MY ipod that I got for MY 14th birthday that MY daddy gave me. So to whomever has it I just wanna say " Eff you!"
There is a slight glimmer of hope that maybe some one will turn it in, but I doubt it.
Love & miss ya'll, -Erin Michelle

Court Cases?
For my AP language arts class, my teacher ( Mrs.Marr) decided to turn us all into lawyers. We were all put into "legal teams" complete with a leader and the ability to fire anyone on your team ( if you are a leader)
Dartmouth v.s Woodward Case
The Case that my team and I were assigned was the Dartmouth and Woodward case. A Dartmouth is going to sue Woodward for turning their insitution into a public school. ( thats just a jist of it, there is A LOT more detail to it) Since my team is only made up of 3 people ( Claudia, Lauren, and I) there has to be two people against one. I took the liberty to volenteer for the defense position. My team decided already that the defense is going to loose because they have nothing for them. That is was I took this side though, I enjoy a challenge and I personally find myself good at turning "nothing" into something. I did extensive research on my case today and I have found two points in my case, that with the right wording and logic put behind it, That I will win in our simulated court session.
I also find this all a good opportunity to have an excuse to use one of my favorite catch phrases. " You just got lawyered!" It's most commonly used in a situation where you use logic to win an argument. Since we will be "lawyers" with our cases, I can officially say my favorite catch phrase without being completely out of place.
P.s- I challenge you to use my catch phrase sometime before December 1st ( my b-day =] ) and make a mini-post about it! Love, Erin =] <3

Inspiration?
1. Poetry- I completely disagree. That is probably because I hate poetry though.
2. Self awareness- Ehhhh.. I guess. I am more for INTERESTING things though..
3. Emotional Spectrum- No.
4. Life expriences- Yeah. This is a good one.
5. Family Issues- No. keep it to yourself. No one wants to hear about your issues
6. Love- Its depends. Writing about love can be chancy. I dont want to hear all about how you are in love with someone and how perfect they are etc. But in a different aspect, it COULD be okay.
7. Music tastes- This is a good one too. Just alter it to fit your audience.
8. Lists- I like this one, it's fun and easy ;)
9. Anything and Everything- To some extent, yes.
So overall, I think what you blog about should be carefully concidered. Just rember, if all else fails, write about how you have nothing to blog about =]
