Okay..as you may or probably may not know, I bruise easily. I'm not sure if this is because I have fair skin or a vitamin deficiency. I suspect, that it might be both. So I went looking on www.google.come, and found a health website. Off of this, I found this website. Actually, I found this one first and then found the other off of it. Dietary changes that may be helpful: Many Americans eat insufficient amounts of foods containing vitamin C; the disease caused by vitamin C deficiency, scurvy, causes easy bruising. While very few people actually have scurvy, even minor deficiencies of vitamin C can increase bruising. People who experience easy bruising may want to try eating more fruits and vegetables—common dietary sources of vitamin C. The diet can be assessed by doctors by using a diet diary, sometimes accompanied by computerized diet analysis. A diet diary is a written record of what and how much a person is eating, usually divided into sections by meal and/or day. As used by many doctors, diet diaries lasting one week are most common. If such an analysis reveals a lack of dietary vitamin C and flavonoids (related compounds), the diet requires more fruits and vegetables to correct the problem. So, maybe I have a vitamin deficiency? I bet that my mom would agree with me on that. She says that I never eat enough vegetables or fruits. But, even she has to admit that I'm doing better on my fruits. It's not my fault that I can't stand the taste of many vegetables. I like green beans (fresh), raw carrots, okra, artichokes, corn, potatoes...and that's about it. If you have any suggestions for my eating habits, would you please e-mail me? (0) comments 8.22.2001

Lookie! On the left..under links..yeah..under Important websites..I'm going to try to keep a current link up to my favorite thread at my favorite website (0) comments I suppose I should come up with something to post about.. Sorry. Nothing is happening. I'm on a poetry writing frenzy almost, it seems. I just keep getting ideas. Except now. I'm too tired. Um. We're reading Beowulf in class and doing stupid vocab. worksheets. To think..I'm going to have to do those..when I could be sleeping. First football game is September the 7th. It's an away game. Obviously, since I'm pep band, I'm going. I wouldn't give up Horn for anything. (0) comments 8.19.2001
I happen to like volcanoes. I mean, I don't like the fact that they injure/kill people. Or that they destroy homes and businesses and stuff. But aside from all of that, I find volcanoes really cool. I went looking for stuff on volcanoes, and I came across this website. It's a pretty good website. Except that the picture to Mt. St. Helens doesn't work and there are a few typos. I have actually been to Mount Saint Helens. It is creepy there. All the trees near it are still flattened..and that day that we went, it was cloudy. So the entire landscape is gray, against the dark gray clouds. I felt like I was entering the gates of hell or something. (0) comments 8.18.2001
Sorry I haven't written in a couple of days..been sort of boring where I am. More so than usual. But something did happen that made me want to say hi today. I've only got about 5 minutes, but I'll try to tell you story as quickly as possible. See, about a week ago..I was looking for stuff on my high school band on www.google.com, when I came across my high school's webpage. I didn't know that my high school even had a webpage. So, I started poking around and someone managed to find a link to another webpage off of it. It happened to be a page done by a girl that I know. It was some very interesting stuff on it. I thought that it was all pretty good stuff. The kind of stuff you never really know about a person. What she thought of the teachers and how she liked their classes. So I e-mailed her and told her I liked it. No problem there, right? Wrong. She had done the webpage for a class and she didn't know that it was going to be put on the internet. Now I will quote another friend of mine in this..: "If you're going to write something down that you don't want other people to see, DON'T WRITE IT DOWN IN THE FIRST PLACE."He wishes to remain anonymous, so I won't say anything. Anyway, I sent it to one of my teachers that was mentioned on it. Only good stuff about him..ex: "He's like a big brother to us." Stuff like that. Apparently, he sent it to another buddy of his. Who also happens to be on the page. And, apparently, this buddy made some remark about it to her (the girl who did the page in the first place), and she got very pissed at me. Which she showed by sending me a nasty e-mail. I'm running out of time, but today I got an apology e-mail from her. She said that she didn't mean the letter to sound angry, and she was sorry if I was confused. Ah..life in the world of Valerie Hobbs. (0) comments 8.14.2001
I'm happy today For the first time in days. I can't tell you How much it means To hear a kind word He said that he liked me-- Because I was nice And never said-- Anything mean-- To anyone. And I felt the heavens singing And golden light streaming-- Over my face And around my world And smiling peoples were everywhere. And for once Instead of crying-- for sadness I cried-- For joy And my face beamed And all was well With the world. Because of a boy's-- kind words. There were butterflies-- and birds singing too. There was green grass And friends and-- cool air wafting over my face. And rainbows And puppies And good days And music playing-- Everywhere I went. Cheerful music Of happy band people Playing their hearts out On the music that-- sounded delightful. No wrong notes No one yelling-- in anger No embarassment No fear. And I felt-- that I could go on. That I was strong That this was why-- I was created. (0) comments 8.13.2001
So anyway, I was trying to figure out exactly why I don't like our President, George W. Bush. I mean, other than the fact that my entire family hates him and says he's a total moron. You know, other than that. So anyway, I was looking around on www.google.com. And what do you know? I find this extremely interesting website, where this guy is talking about how much W. looks like a monkey. And it's true. It's really funny. So now, I can say that I don't like Bush because he looks like a monkey. Not just because my family thinks he's a total moron. Good, huh? (0) comments 8.12.2001
So I would have responded last night, but unfortunately, Blogger was down. And I was in a weird funky mood last night too. (0) comments 8.10.2001
I'm tired. It's 11:01 pm here. I'm on the internet (obviously). I'm sort of in a weird mood. I don't feel explaining it now. Maybe later. (0) comments 8.09.2001
Quickie So I didn't post yesterday. So what? It was my first day back to school. I was tired. In fact, I just got home about 30 minutes ago. I'm still tired. Oh why, oh why am I taking Calculus????????????????? Help! The last two days have just been review. I didn't even understand the review. Listen folks, that's bad. (0) comments 8.07.2001
I was in this chatroom today..where somehow or another, we got talking about Generation lines. That's generation X and generation Y to be precise. We weren't too sure where the lines went exactly. But I think I've got it figured out, although it doesn't make a lot of sense. Generation X is 1961-1981. And generation Y is 1979-1994. Hmm..some years running together, you notice? Anyway, while I was looking for information on these generations, I found plenty of websites on Generation X, but not that many on Generation Y (also referred to as generation M). I found a website on Generation Y, although I can't post the link because it's copyrighted. Surprisingly, it says that Generation Y (my generation, although sometimes I consider myself more of a Generation Xer), is bigger than the Baby Boomers group. (0) comments School starts back tomorrow Help! School starts back on August 8th, which like I said is tomorrow. My senior year. I'm not particularly worried about this. Well, maybe a little. This is the first year that I'm going to have to take a 0 period. 0 periods are interesting little devices to deprive us of even more sleep and cram even more classes in. They start nearly a full hour before first period starts. That is, they start at 7:05 (they recently changed this, it used to be 7:15. Of course that's AM. And regular class, that is first period, starts at 8:00. It used to be 8:05 though. Why am I taking the 0 period??? Because it's either take a 0 period or drop out of band for a semester. :( I might have possibly considered it (NOT) in my earlier years in high school, but obviously I'm NOT dropping out of band my senior year. And I had to have a second language. I foolishly took Latin 1 in the 10th grade (when I was 15/16). I tried to take Latin 2 last year, but it didn't fit into my schedule. And then I found out that Latin 2 was only offered 4th period (band) and 0 period. So you understand now? I have to get up at the crack of dawn, or the C.O.D. as my mother puts it.

Popular people..in general. I mean, school age. That would be ages 6-18 in the United States. Approximately, anyway. These people annoy me, a lot. There was this thread started up on this website that I visit. The link is below. It was this girl asking everyone what they really thought of popular people. These are major internet people we're talking about here. Smart, intellectual, nerdy types. I want to know what everyone really thinks about popular kids. I've never had anyone who wasn't popular tell me what they really thought about us. I would love to know what it's like on the other side. So of course all these people started telling her how amazingly messed up she is... And she comes back with this: In fact I know that probably all of my current friends will succeed in life. Most of us including me were in honors classes in junior high and those of us who weren't still got good grades. We didn't get in any major trouble. Of course there was that guy who causes trouble and that girl who flirts with and has dated almost every single guy in the group. We would only date our guy friends in our group or in one of the neighboring popular groups, we would only date them because we knew them so well. Grr..talk like this makes me want to smack people.. So my response: ice_princess1326..I don't mean to be rude..but you make me want to puke. (0) comments (0) comments 8.04.2001
Btw...school starts for me (my senior year), this Wednesday..the 8th of August. Which is also waaaaaay too early in my opinion. (0) comments I hate it when skin starts to peel after being sunburned. Especially the first wave of peeling. That part hurts, because the skin is still tender and slightly burnt usually. In other words, ouch! (0) comments The cold, dry wind whips around me As I stand on the gray hill I overlook the cemetary The cold stones stare back at me The dark gray clouds loom before me I look behind me, a break in the clouds The sunlight streaming through a crack The colors streaming through the land The people down there Stop and watch as the warmth spreads Yellow golden waves of light The green, soft grass The sound of laughter The tinkling of bells I turn back around Back to the dead Back to the dry, dead leaves Crumbling stones Hard faces The cold wind whips around me Drying my face, freezing my heart The gray mountain before me The golden valley behind me. I pause, looking behind me I pause, looking ahead. The dry leaves swirl around the ground The ground of cold, gray dirt Of crumbling stones Of dying dreams (0) comments (0) comments I drift through life (0) comments There is this site I visit a lot. It's a message board or sometimes referred to as a bulletin board. You post topics on this board. They are called threads. A few months ago, I belonged to a group on one of those boards. It was a thread entitled "LNPC." It stood for the Late Night Psycho Clan. It was a game, sort of. And it was laid to rest somewhere around March/April 2001. Recently, some other people resurrected the game. I don't feel like I'm a part of it anymore. It was laid to rest in my mind. I moved on. So I posted a message there.. I have decided that I am no longer an LNPCer..I have moved on from that phase in my life. Ironically enough though, if you want to reach me..check with the Insomniacs (another group).

Well...maybe it's time to start thinking about doing something else..I came up with a sort of half joke..it's a friend's questionaire, to see who you are most compatible with as a friend. It's right here. 1. On a typical Saturday, do you mostly spend your time: My answers..were these: 1. On a typical Saturday, do you mostly spend your time: LOL..methinks that perhaps either I need a life..or I need to go ahead and make my internet experience more enjoyable by learning how to put pics on this website..lol.

Okay..I'm pissed again. I wrote an entire article..long one too. I hit "post" and it said my session had timed out. It erased everything. So I'm pissed again. Like I was saying..argh.. As most of you know, the death of Korey Stringer will probably be remembered for a while. He died of heatstroke. On that same note, we figured that since that had happened, Mr. Hendrick would give us more breaks. We've already had 4 people feel like they were about to pass out (including myself), and one girl throw up. But no..we didn't get more breaks. But as I predicted earlier last week, the band is going to be good this year. We have already gotten through our first two songs, playing and marching. See, we were supposed to have band camp all of today and Monday. But he cancelled this afternoon's practice and all of Monday. :) So band camp is officially over. That's good, because I was getting kind of crispy anyway. (0) comments I never realized how much this blog would mean to me. But having to go without posting on it for 2 days just about did me in. I didn't realize how much I already started needing it! I was just thinking about how much I don't know. I still sort of want to be a writer. Not for a main profession of course, but on the side. And I was thinking, that to be a writer, I needed some experiences from which to write about..or better describe things. And I was thinking, you know..I really don't have any experiences to draw from. This is when I started feeling really awful. That's also why I love this blog. (0) comments OMG! It worked! It updated! Praise the Lord! Thank you so much whatever just happened! If my name changes..(it'll be a long story) I could just feel my creative urges being stifled. Oh thank goodness!
