Well, I'm in Pittsburgh! Heading out to Station Square soon <3 I gotta tell you though, this week has not been my best. Monday I can't remember what happened, but it just wasn't anything great. Tuesday Mr. Brad almost left me stranded after I woke up at 9am and was running a bit behind schedule, then yelled at everyone in the studio, and afterwards called me into the office to lecture me on how i'm too fat, getting lazy, and on the verge of being "too old to dance". Awesome. He's right though; I am getting fat and am SO close to being too old =[ I thought I was working hard though! It's just killing me that I'm trying my best and they say I'm not doing anything. So I try harder, and they still say I'm being lazy. So I step it up even more till my feet are bleeding, my lungs feel like they're going to collapse, and i'm losing toe-nails and guess what; it's still not enough.

Wednesday (yesterday) I went in, worked harder, guess they were somewhat happier with my performance level, and then left. Mom took me to an urgent care center though cause I hurt my leg doing a leap. Now I've got a stress fracture in my shin ='[ It hurt so bad to walk yesterday. When the savelli's find out they'll just tell me to "suck it up and keep working". Then my sister and I left for pittsburgh. Guess what; we got a flat tire 45 minutes into the drive. Yup, so we got to sleep in the car until a place opened up at 8am, got a new tire, and finally were back on the road. Did I mention we broke down around midnight? fantastic.

But I'm here now, and it's wonderful <3 And besides, my week wasn't all bad; I had the best 4 days I've had in a LONG time this past week; Saturday through Tuesday. I went out with a friend, and we went out the next day, and the next, and the next. He's leaving for college on Thursday, but I'm REALLY glad for the time we hung out this past week. We're going out on Tuesday, too.

I miss Monica! I haven't seen her in weeks! =[

Okkkk so it's been quite some time since I've posted. Sorry about that. I was gonna wait until my room was finished and post a picture, buttt that's taking a lot longer than expected =[ Uhmmm basically you haven't missed much; all I've done for the past week is dance. 45 hours last week, and already got 11 in today. So yeah, basically that's been my life. Today I my knees gave out on me a couple times, my hips wouldn't let me kick high, and my toes started bleeding. Yay? Seriously though, I really am enjoying myself, strange as that may be.

Haven't talked to Jon much lately =[ I miss him and have been so busy. I feel like I should force him to hang out with me soon... just for old times sake =] I guess I owe you a picture of me and some friends. Here, you get me, Mike, and Monica on 4th of July. I miss them so muchhhh! <3

I think I'm going to bed soon. I'm in rediculous amounts of pain and doing it all again tomorrow (from like 10-730). I need to give my body a break =[ Luckily I get one when I go to Pittsburgh and Virginia this week! Wednesday-Monday I'll be gone <3 I'm SOOO excited! I've been looking forward to this trip since may/june 2010! yeah, over a year. Kinda sad, but I've got good reasons =]

Ok, bed time. I'll try and be more consistent with blogging.

Ok, so I'm slacking off. But who can blame me? In the past 10 days I've moved into my new house, painted my room, finished work, gone to CP, barely slept, gone to a concert, been keeping up with my classes, and now i'm doing dance camp. Suffice to say I've been busy.

Well the concert was amazing! May I just say The Decemberists put on the best show i've been to in a LONG time?! Gah! so much happiness!

The new house is pretty much the bestest ever! It's so big! But my room is ground-level and my sister forgot her keys on saturday, so she started banging on my window at 3am. I almost peed my pants I was so scared. But hey, nobody died so I guess that's good, right?

Saturday I went to Cedar Point with Patrick, his brother, and Moira. It was so much fun! however I've discovered that wearing converse is a bad idea. More support is needed on a dancers feet. Oi!

Speaking of dancers feet, I'm exhausted! I danced non-stop from 10-7 today. Talk about being active!  But I'm loving dance camp <3 Tomorrow I wont be able to move, I'm sure of it! The cost of dancing is pain though. If it were easy and meant for the weak, undedicated population it'd be called football, or golf or something like that. But it's not; it's DANCE!

I saw my recital video today. May I just say how awesome it was? I mean, yeah, I hated like half of my time on stage but it really wasn't as awkward looking as I felt doing things =] I miss recital so much <3 it majorly bums me out that I dont get another performance until next spring! =[ Oh welll, just more time to improve! =D

I'm really friggin' tired, so i'm going to go eat and text Nick and what-not. peace out!

OMG! I can't believe I haven't even posted in almost two weeks! WTH?! Life kinda got busy =/ Summary of the past two weeks;

Sister moved out.
I'm moving on saturday officially and completely
It's really friggin hot!
Dance started up again, and I feel whole again <3
CHANDLER'S HOME! FOR GOOD! <3 SOO HAPPY!
Virginia in 3 weeks! <3
Waxed for the first time; not a pleasant experience
Spent forever getting sponsor letters out, but finally did. hopefully it pays off (literally) or I'm screwed.
I have entirely too much dance stuff
My room is soooo empty! (due to moving)
Phone died. got a new one. repeat 3 times. waiting for my blackberry to arrive in the mail =]
Saved over $400 for a car in the past 2 weeks
Sister disappointed me beyond belief today. NEVER trusting or relying on her for anything. it's "good" to finally see completely where her priorities lie, and how I dont fit into her life.
Severed some ties to certain people
In contrast, also restored a couple broken friendships.
Work is almost done

K, now you're more or less caught up with my life. Ta-da!
~Rocky

Well now, it's been a while since I've had an actual post, but even longer since i had a picture with it! I apologize for slacking off! But hey, the important this is that I'm blogging now =]

Let's start where I left off; on the 3rd my family had our 4th of july celebration since daddy worked then next day, and that was awesome =] Went to fireworks in Avon Lake. Saw some friends there! Maureen, Sarah M., Mike O., Monica (<3!). And then it came time to settle down and watch the fireworks. Who do I sit next to? You'll never guess! CHARLIE! @!&#*$#!!!! Of all the fireworks displays that night, we ended up at that one. of all the seats that night, we ended up next to each other. Of all the people to run into, it was him! I almost died. in a bad way. And then what does my dad do? He invited him over for the 4th the next day!!! All I wanted was to slap him and crush him and tell him how horrid I really think he is =/ BLAH!

On the 4th I spent most of the day layin' out catchin' some sun, trying to convince nick to come visit. Failed miserably. However, I did get to go to Bay Days with my friends Monica and Mike, and I had a great time! Saw Vanessa, had about 100 awkward run-ins with people from mine, mikes, monicas, and other people's pasts. It was a night of awkwardness. I still had tons of fun =] Met this fun guy, Ian. He seems pretty nice. Now he has a ukulele obsession that he developed that night when one of his friends left the uke they won from a carnie in the car. But hey, whatever floats his boat, eh? =]

Started work Tuesday. I was totally prepared for screaming kids, profane language, nobody's clothes to stay on, things to get thrown, biting, licking, just general all around bad behavior. To my delight and surprise every single one of my students is virtually perfect! I mean, sure, a few are a little withdrawn or have speech issues, but they all do exactly what they're told, and are a lot of fun to be around and are well behaved =] I'm having the best week of camp I've ever had.

I painted my nails pacman last night while Skyping with Sharon. Yup. It's pretty awesome.

MOVING ON, LIKE, MONDAY! AH! =D I'm soooo excited! I just really cannot wait to go to my new house <3 Yet as ready and eager as I am, I'm kinda sad about it. I've lived here for 8 years. This has been home for 8 years. So many firsts, birthdays, graduations, holidays, parties, sleepovers, movie nights, bonfires, so much sweat put into making this place a comfortable environment. It's so strange to think that in a week, I wont even be here. The other times I've moved I never felt like this, but I'm older and have better comprehension of what it really means now. I'll adjust I'm sure.

Dance starting on monday! AH! YAY! so friggin' excited!  and this I'm actually ONLY excited about! no apprehension, no mixed feelings, just pure joy and excitement =] It's been far too long (3 weeks!) since Ive had a class, and I start pointe on monday!!! For now I'm going to pack some boxes, and try to come up with plans for tonight. w00t. peace out!
Rocky

~Rocky

Sooo a few things have changed in my life since Wednesday. First off, I'm finally feeling stable again. I feel like I'm living my life, and it's not living me. Let's see how long it lasts this time! Second, I can't discuss details, but one particular situation that was causing mental problems for me has been worked out, to everyones satisfaction =] Wont be moving until the 20th, at the soonest. I'm so bummed! I've been soooo excited but it's just not happening yet =/  oh well! In good time I suppose.

I went to my friends birthday/birthday/grad/grad/grad party today. It was great to see Rina and Moira today! Played frisbee, volleyball, more frisbee, chilled on the beach, ate watermelon. Normal summer beach party stuff =] It was nice. However I'm now covered in sand and incredibly dirty ahah! But I enjoyed it, and made a new frienddddd xD Also, I LOVE Rinas grandmother! She reminds me so much of Grandma Pfeiffer! I miss her so much!

Well tomorrow after church i'm supposed to get coffee with Grace. I'm looking forward to it. We haven't really talked in a long time (since before she left for college, i think) so it'll be good to catch up for realzies. Afterwards; FRISBEE! Yay! thennn it's home for family night. dunno what we're doing. For now I'm REALLY tired. it's been a very long day. I really need to get back to taking pictures for this so-called photoblog. it's lacking in photos lately haha! oh well, life happens right?

Work starts on tuesday. I'm really looking forward to it! I like the teacher i'm working with, and i'm eager to learn about the kids! Wish me luck!
