Torrey, we know. We have always known. And don't make us say I told you so.

We didn't start the fire It was always burning since the world's been turning, No, we didn't start the fire (We didn't start the fire), No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

The song, we didnt start the fire (the title) played while i was doing my warmup today, and i really didnt leave my head all day. EVEN during the race. So i loved that course so much:) it was amazing, and im super stoked on life because i get to run on it again at state, and umm,  i hope i slay!! Well i will slay my last time, but actually slaying would be the definition of what mckenna does when she runs 17.30 3 milers. So anyway, the bus ride there was nice, i slept alot.  Its wierd to think that it was this morning that i got up at 4am and got on the bus at 530am. It feels like yesterday! or 2 months ago! anyway i have got to go, but i love you all, and im pretty sure i love koler. xoxo t

Ba Dum Bum Chhhh!

hello ladies:)
sooooo....I am bored. and exhausted. hmm...what a combination! maybe I should, I dont know, SLEEP. yeah, planning on it.
Drivers ed is so freaking dumb. If they want us to learn to be good drivers, they should have class when we are AWAKE.
Why are the teachers giving so much homework this week? tis ridick.
ughhhh....I am so done with this week. It has been long and tedious.
I feel like we need to have a girls night. It's been far too long since we were all together.
I am not that excited for homecoming. I don't really see the appeal?
I dont know what else to sayyyyyy!!!!
that is all.
shhhhh:)
solberg is a fucking psycho. She has cancelled, uncancelled, and recancelled the disney trip in the last two days. Bipolar.
I want an african child.
GOODNIGHT.
Mack
PS. I am in LOVE with the new Pandora:)

starts with a b and ends in a g...with lo in the middle. whats that spell?? haaha figure it out TORREY. Practice was an ass burner. Be prepared for some tight buns tomorrow!

life? what?

Blogging? Friends? Life? Fun? Laughter? Sorry its been so long since i had to remember any of those words because right now LIFE IS BORING AS, well, AS BORING AS BORING CAN BE.  I have forgotten that it may not be healthy for me to completely neglect having a life.  But i seriously think it is just as unhealthy to live life without blogging religiously...which i havent been doing. Better get to that. Anyway, homecoming week should get some giggles out:) I am so excited! Woot woot! Im just excited for the dance pretty much:) oh and the football game a little...even though i dont understand crap.  Homecoming princess? I hope to god mason gets it:) i love her more than you know! She is in the process of drawing/painting an inspirational picture for me and its gonna be B-E-A-utiful (knowing her skills baby!). Anyway, mackie please blog about your life soon:) i miss you honey pumpkin! And someone tell marlow she better hurry her speedybutt up and blog! Okay so for student council its my responsibility to get as many people as possible in our grade to have homecoming school spirit:p So just for reminders, 1-5 at the school:) bring a mirror if possible (very not possible for most:p), old bulldog memorabilia (shirts, ect.) and a picture of yourself to hang from the ceiling:)! sounds like a plan? plan.  I LOVE OUR SCHOOL! (ha. ha.) but seriously, its pretty cool sometimes. Off to do my homework suckers, xoox and lots of torrey love<3

neglection no longer!

alright...im gunna start making this a regular habit again! it's like my therapy, anyway. (and lord knows im in need of it these days!)
holy fuck school has BEGUN.  im a little shocked that summer is gone, and it's like 30 degrees every morning now! so...um FALL? really.  not quite, but thinking about it.
homecoming is a week away, and thanks to our genius student council *cough cough torrey and caroline! we have quite the week too look forward to! from salad dressing to wacky and tacky, im forecasting it to be wildly successful.
thankyou for the beautiful photos, girls.  i would just like to let you know that i have a sign hanging in my room that reads: keep calm and eat a cupcake.  it makes me pretty happy.
you know what also makes me happy? or atleast laugh? my brother thinking the pretty decorated tampon boxes under my bed were my secret stash of candy. haha im sure you can imagine his face when he broke into it and found...TOOTSIE ROLLS? nope, lol that's a tampon. (we're learning.)  jesus.
so my life is a bit of a cluster fuck these days...but im trying to keep things going smooth as possible.  haha it's not really working.  my life is the consistancy of cottage cheese.  METAPHOR! my mother would be proud.
alright. well that's the update.
tata for now.

Gloomy day...

So mackie, those pictures made me happy:) Like the weather today, i am feeling a bit gloomy. Lazy as always, but sorta sad for no apparent reason. I skipped out on helping with the XC float at noon today, because, well today is sunday, and sunday is for my relaxation:)  Koler wanted to hang out, so i may invite him over later to hang out at my house, bake a little, and talk i guess...and i feel bad because poor elias and i have not hung out in a couple weekends, but i guess thats okay because i see him 6 out of 7 days of the week at XC. Pretty useful:) Anyway, the race yesterday was pretty great. I mean i was pretty nervous, god knows why...but then my mommy came to watch right before the race started! so as i was walking up to the starting line, i saw her and i gave her a hug and it made me happy:p The race itself was painful, but i ran 30 seconds faster than i have all season, which is still super slow for me overall, but for the season its good i guess:) 5th on varsity sorta sucks but i guess it could be worse. By the enda the season im hoping to be up behind Nicole. So all day i have just  been listening to music, and doing homework and calligraphy slowly but surely. I miss all you guys so much. Marlow, i never see you! Mackie, i see you alot(ish), but i will be seeing you even more very soon! And you got to listen to my favorite jokes in the world last night. Ella, we are pretty much together all the time now because of XC...and we should start going to youth group with macks on wednesdays when possible. And last but not least, i would like to point out what all of you already know....ITS CAROLINES BIRTHDAY! and yes i know she probably will never see this, but that doesnt matter because its the thought that counts! I LOVE YOU CAROLINE<3 Well i am going to get back to gloomin' on this gloomy day:) kisses and hugs, and lots of love <3 torrey

It takes patience to become the best runner you can be. Top athletes realize that running is a long-term sport. It is set up for people who value delayed gratification and who like hard-earned success.

   "Every day in Africa a gazelle wakes up.

It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
 Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
 It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better be running."

Happy almost anniversary:)
