I need a life!
Well, here I am, nobody to talk to, and Im feeling a bit lonely! But I guess that's what happens in the middle of the night, isn't it?
Yesterday, my parents and I went to the White Mountains! It was a nice trip. I think it was a little too much togetherness, but I survived it! You know what they say! What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger! hehe jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk!!!
We went up through Safford, and Morenci, and when we got to Morenci, oh you'll never believe this! (jk) There was a BIGHORN SHEEP walking around one of the PARKING lots for the mine workers!! It was crazy! It was awesome! It was just walkin' around, not a care in the world! I have pictures, so I'll show y'all!!
We also went to the Tonto Natural Bridge State Park! It was SOOOOOO cool!! go to: http://www.azstateparks.com/Parks/parkhtml/tonto.html You should look!! You should also look at: http://www.glenwoodnewmexico.com/catwalk.htm or http://nmwanderings.com/catron2.htm for sites about the Catwalk! It's a great place! It's located in southwest New Mexico. Everyone should go there! It's an awesome place! You drive into this canyon, the scenery a desert, as you wind your way back further, and further, it starts to get a little greener. Soon, you come to a parking place, and you can stop here, at one of many picnic tables by the creek, shaded by trees, or continue up by foot. As you walk up the trail, it seems to be a normal trail, with the creek on your right, but thinking this, you would be mistaken. It starts to get steeper, going up and away from the creek, before coming back to the creek. The are a few more ups and downs, and then you're there! "The Catwalk" awaits! The Catwalk was originally for the miners of the Mogollon Rim. These brave men had a hard job to do. So, eventually, I would think, to make things a bit easier, they built the Catwalk, only naming it this after it had been in use for several years. The Catwalk is, basically, a metal suspension bridge, mounted into a narrow cayon by now rusty bolts. It is quite safe though. As you walk along it, you can look down less than a dozen feet and see the creek that was your companion on the trail, because the Catwalk has a metal mesh for its bottom. At times it is a bit scary to look down, but once over this fear of falling through the mesh, you can look down at this wonderful creek, and think 'Wow! this is really cool!' I have not been all the way to the far end of the trail, but several times have been about halfway up the Catwalk. Awesome experience! You should go!


Well, so my dearest Karen and I are... what you might call a little out there, let me demonstrate this phenomenon! Feel free to skip this part!


Mine:
So, you didn't like my "plunging" of the "banana knives into our broken hearts"??? [I wrote an "Ode to Chris", Chris being (at the time) one of our regulars at DQ(long story)] Gee, that was my favorite part! Of COURSE it's over the top dramatic!! That's the whole point! :-p
So, what's this great news???? Tell me!! Tell me!! I wanna know!! I wanna know!!
So, Sat. night, you didn't miss anything good. AAHHHHH!!!! Guys are STUPID JERKS!!!! I mean that in the WORST way!!!! Levi, Jesse, and Ryan, "the guys", then Kristina, and me, we went to Denny's, right[bad idea]? Well, they thought it would be funny to make us girls walk home. Ha. Ha. Funny.[sarcasm if you couldn't tell] uhhh NOT!!! So we just started walking... They drove by us a few times[stupid guys]... and then Jesse stopped in his car[he and Kristina were a little thing for a while], and we all went to Wendy's. So Kristina and I were sitting at one booth, and "the guys" were sitting away from us, talking to two Sheriff's deputies. The deputies even remarked that it was kind of strange that they should be sitting way over there, away from us... They need to learn some gentlemanly manners. Open door for the lady, walk in AFTER, it will get them a heck of a lot farther than acting like a bunch of cavemen! "I am man[should be little baby], hear me roar!" (see me act stupid!) Grr!! So, of course, now I'm not happy with any of them. Well, I take that back, Ryan is ok, wait no he's not!! He was driving the dang car!! AHHH!!!!! [hence my stand that guys are dumb, no offence Nate]
So, anyway....On to more pleasant things.... I will probably[maybe] meet Nate over Christmas break! Since he'll be out of school, and the rest of his family lives in Tucson, he'll go down for a couple of weeks probably[*sigh*, it'll be so soon!]. And the girls here [at DQ] will be out of school, so I can take some days off, and go to Tucson, and do something with him, and -Gee whiz [what a concept] - meet him!!
I might fail my class. I have to redo my mid-term paper I think, cause I guess it wasn't as persuasive as it should have been (it was a persuasive essay)[by the way, I rewrote that essay, and I got my highest score yet on it!]. I have Wed. off though, so I'll be able to work on it then. I'm kinda worried, I don't want to fail, but I might anyway. Ahh, life goes on, right? :-p
Anywayz....I'm gonna go now!
See ya!!!
Love,
Rachel


Karen's:
Dearest Rachel Dawnathon Matthews,

My heart is heavy, yet, I don't know why. I do want a chevy, but do not have enough money to buy. Oh the pain in not seeing thee every day, is wearing me down, or wearing me away. How can I live without seeing thy face, thy charming appearance and beautiful face. Oh remember dear rachel, I do love thee so, even if all the time, to you, I do not show. And now I must go now, and say goodbye. Like a big fat cow who likes to sigh.

Love Karen (My name is not Sharon)

How do you like my poem? Wasen't it lovely!?! I agree. So how's life? Did Stephen get that job? I do hope so. how's bensonite? and hows your mom? Why is your dog named Danny[it's really Dani]?

love Karina Maria Wootenski ( The weird mooder)

So, as you can see, our weird factor is way high... you should see us together...(wait, no you shouldn't).......bwuahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahaahahahahahaha!! We're not horrible or anything, but....yeah...never mind....
Hmmph! Why is life just so danged complicated?? EVERYTHING about life seems to be right now, but I guess that's a normal teenage response, isn't it? There's my job, should I find a new one, stay at my DQ, take off a week or so, work extra days if possible, or just not work for a while? Or a car? Do I have enough, should I wait, and get a better one, should I just NOT get one for now, should I get a car, truck, what?? Friends are crazy too! Karen, and Shirley are just fine, but everyone else.... *sigh!* Then there's Rocky, yes him. He's going either to Nevada, or New Mexico for probably 9 months for work. It's a great oportunity for him, so I'm happy, but yet, he's kind of a part of my life now, and then he'll be gone, so I'll be UN-happy too. I feel kind of guilty also, 'cause I know he likes me WAY more than I like him, and I've kind of made it seem like I did, because I'm a chicken. I guess that's life though, right? Oh! The saga that is my life! (dramatic huh?) hehe jk! It's really not that bad when I don't think about it, so that's what I'll do!
Wow! this is the longest one I've written so far, I think...crazy huh?
Wwwwweeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, much as I enjoy writing at times, I should head off to bed! I'm going to Tucson for an eye app. tomorrow, and we're leaving at 8, so I've gotta sleep! 5 and a half hours should be enough, right? :-p See ya!
