Yesterday I was watching a show (Castle), somewhat of a crime/romance/comedy, where the daughter of a famous author who helps at the police station gets kidnapped. The daughter was 19 years old and was only taken because she was with the other girl who was the actual target. I have always wondered what it would be like to get kidnapped. Obviously I don't want to find out the real way, but know what would be going through my mind and maybe the kidnapper themself. Since the daughter, Alexis, had a father who is protective of her and volunteers at a police station, she was rather smart at how she could figure out where they were. Locked in a metal type room, resembling one of those long metal storage buildings, Alexis stomped on the floor and could figure out they weren't in the basement because there was space between the box type thing and the actual flooring. At the end of the show Alexis was able to pick the lock with some hair pins her friend was wearing. Her father had taught her how to do that. When she escaped she found a cell phone in an office type room and skyped her father to tell him she was okay. She then heard voices and was able to make her way to the roof of the building and saw something shocking. No longer was she New York, she looked out and saw the Eiffle tower, she was in Paris, France. The police found this out while tracing the call she had made to her father and next weeks episode will show what happens next and I am freaking out because of it! I will probably have anxiety over what will happen the rest of this week up until 9 o'clock Monday night when it continues! :-( The bad thing that could happen is that she gets taken forever and killed.

Since today is Valentines day I found it only appropriate to write about such thing. Today is nothing but a day of sadness. I am not with any "special" someone this valentines day for the first time in 2 years. It's rather strange to me. It's sad that my dad was the one to get my sister and I the valentines present. I am not complaining though since he got us each an hour pedicure :-) My plans today consist of going to school, going to my aunts for lunch and then proceeding to go to a chick flick movie with a few of my other single girl friends. This will be so interesting as we will be complaining at the fact our other best friends are with their significant others staring at each other all googly eyed because it's the day of 'love' haha. Instead I am spending it with my awesome single friends and we will be going to dinner together and having a fantastic time. I don't see the point of valentines day. Choosing one day out of the year to show someone you care just a little bit more than normal. Shouldn't that be everyday? I guess it's kind of pointless, besides the fact you get good candy and lots of chocolate which isn't necessarily a horrible thing to think about. The only thing that comes out of valentines day is the chocolate and food you get out of the deal. Maybe even some jewelry if you're the girl in the relationship. I feel bad for the guys because all the pressure of picking a great gift rests on their shoulders. I guess they need a little brain activity here and there to challenge themselves.

Last night I went back to my high school so I could see all of my friends and watch the last girls home basketball game. I don't regret my decision to quit basketball my senior year and I don't regret graduating early. I have played basketball ever since i was in 4th grade. I have played all year round as well. I will miss my summer team with all the girls from the surrounding areas coming together as rivals and being so close by the end of the summer. As I watched senior night last night next to one of my best friends who also didn't play basketball this year, I realized I left a friend as the only remaining senior playing basketball. My stomach turned while I watched her be escorted out by her parents, her dad being the coach. They announced her name and her goals in life and I found myself becoming upset at the fact I wasn't down there next to her.

My weekend was probably the best weekend I have ever had in my life. In my last freewrite I explained how I was going to get to see my brother, Tyler, perfrom his first show as a guitar player for the group Gloriana at the Grand Ole Opry house in Nashville TN. We left early friday morning and got to Nashville, got settled at my brothers apartment and then left to eat and go to the show. My brother, being a member, got to go in the back of the opry to get his stuff in. My dad, sister, and I were in the car with him and the guard ended up letting us in because we needed to get our will call tickets anyways. We walked in the back and immediatly met my brothers band manager and sound people. We proceeded to walk by the dressing rooms and found my brothers band mates. We met the two main guys of the group, Tom and Mike Gossin, their fiance's and a few other people I don't even know. When my brother had to go practice the rest of us went to go get our tickets. As we were leaving backstage to go get the tickets a large guard was standing by the door and handed us backstage passes. "You want to come back right?" he asked. We smiled and took the passes and went to go get our tickets wondering if he thought we were on the pass list or something. After we got our regular tickets we went backstage and handed the passes back and asked if we should go get our seats. "Well you can, but you can go sit on stage if you want." We gladly excepted and proceeded the rest of the night to sit behind the artists on stage and go meet the rest of my brothers band and some of carrie underwoods band as well.
