Birthday
Today is my birthday. yay yay yay. Not really. I guess this is sort of the beginning of the end in a way. I guess when we were younger it was like we thought the world had to stop on our birthdays. But it doesn't haha. But I still get to feel like I dont have to do anything. And I get presents.
This morning was practice. Dumb. But I talked the mother into picking me up a little early, jus cos i didnt wanna stay. ha.
I just took a shower. I asked my parents to hide some of my gifts. I've found 3. There are 2 more hidden.
Now Im gonna eat McDonalds and get a mani/pedi. Tonite I will dine.
Glad not to be a shrimpy little 13 year old anymore. 14 is such a better age!

My dad's horse died today. The big one. The best horse he has ever had. I'm so unbelievably sad. She only had one year left to race then she was gonna make great babies! But now, she can't. I feel sooooo bad for my dad and his partners. I'm so upset right now. Ughhhh. She was such a sweet horse too.
Soccer was my biggest concern up until now. It was good today. Now it's hardly an issue.
I can't wait for the Yankee game to take my mind off of it. It's just too sad to think about.
I know there are much bigger things in life. It's just a horse. But it's still sad.

LiVin On A pRaYeR!
OoOoH...I have had a very very fun few days. On Sunday night I went to a Bon Jovi concert with Meredith! It was awesome! Soooo much fun.
Yesterday was fun too. I went to the track. My dad won his first race at Saratoga for the summer. It was so funny. Toward the end of the race, it started like torential downpouring! So we had to go to the winners circle to take the picture and we were all soaked. UGH that picture is gonna be disgusting haha.
Last night I got a major burst of homesickness. I started like aching for my friends. Thank God tomorrow Elise is coming to stay for a couple days. She'll keep me in line. And I'll get to see everyone who is home this weekend. And...Joanna is coming home from camp in ONE WEEK. ONE WEEK I get to see her. It's only for 1 day (i leave for miami on wednesday the 13th) but its something. I cannot wait.
Today I saw Seabiscuit. It was a great movie. If I didn't know anything about horse-racing, I would have been like "jigga wha?" but since I knew what was going on it was a lot more enjoyable to me.
I'm having a lot of fun here. There is so much to do. But I don't know. I want to go home--at least sometimes I do. I don't know. I'm so confused overall. It sucks. ((sigh)) only a few more days. UGH then next wed. I go to Miami ahhhhh. It's too much...I want to stay home. Im always away ahhh.
Today is the 41 anniversary of the death of Miss GlamourPuss...Freaky Deaky.
I need my friends uhhhhhhhhh...tomorrow....tomorrow...always a day away. Love*
~Just*Gabi~
(thats the name of one of my pop's horses... im not trying to be like all metaphorical)
AHHH I just remembered Last Comic Standing and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy are on tonite....see i already feel betters its all about the attitude...

if only we could all be so smart...
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
--Mother Teresa

Im in my pjs. I dont feel glamorous at all. But it's all about imagination.
As you can see I've changed my user picture from Miami to the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe. I find her so incredibly fascinating. She was so glamorous and beautiful. (and she was married to a Yankee hehehe) I think she is the epitome of old style sexy Hollywood glamour...I love that Audrey, Marilyn look. It's so...........i can't think of any other word, but glamorous. I would do anything to go back in time and be Marilyn Monroe for a day. OK...that's just me ranting. Im gonna start doing that more often. No one cares what Im doing during the day...I have many opinions which could be a good topic of convo.
Leave some comments if you have any thoughts on Ms. GlamourPuss Monroe...

fionna apple - never is a promise
You'll never see
The courage I know
Its colors' richness won't
Appear within your view
I'll never glow
The way that you glow
Your presence dominates
The judgements made on you
But as the scenery grows
I see in different lights
The shades and shadows
Undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch
I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still
Too proud to mention
To you
You'll say you understand
But you don't understand
You'll say you'd never
Give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise
And you can't afford to lie
You'll never touch
These things that I hold
The skin of my emotions
Lies beneath my own
You'll never feel
The heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper
Than I've ever shown
To you
You'll say
Don't fear your dreams
It's easier than it seems
You'll say you'd never
Let me fall from hopes so high
But never is a promise
And you can't afford to lie
You'll never live
The life that I live
I'll never live the life
That wakes me in the night
You'll never hear
The message I give
Youy'll say it looks as though
I might give up this fight
But as the scenery grows
I see in different lights
The shades and shadows
Undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch
I see from greater heights
I realise what I am now
Too smart to mention
To you
You'll say you understand
You'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up
Knowing how or why
I don't know what
To believe in
You won't know who I am
You'll say I need appeasing
When I start to cry
But never is a promise
And I'll never need a lie

:: Mood: listless
WTF does listless mean? I like to pick very strange moods for myself...
Today my dad's old college roomate and his 4 kids met me and my dad at the track. It was fun. They are so nice. They have a 5 year old girl. 12 year old twin boys (who have major hotty potential lol) and a 16 (i think) year old boy. I've always thought he was really hot. He still is really hot...and he's nice...and not a womanizer/pothead. He doesn't look like a junior though. He looks our age. But thats okay beacuse I look younger than I am too. UGH I wish they lived closer or we saw them more. Why dont we have more guys like him in our grade/school??? Why? Why? I know all you girls feel my pain.
Me and my dad just went to the harness track. Hahaha its hilarious. Its really nice at night and stuff...but its not as exhilirating/big/popular/normal as the regular track...There are really seedy people there. Its so scary. The race purses are like only $700 haha. It's still beautiful though. (Harness is like the jockeys who sit in the little carts and the horses are way smaller)
It really pisses me off that my summer is going so well. My summers usually suck. Now I just so CAN wait to go back to school. Im totally dreading it. Soccer is gonna suck. But im glad im playing b.c. a lot of my gal pals are playing...Id miss out on a lot. But that still doesnt take away from the fact that it sucks.
And it gets closer each day......
I just have to live for the moment...focus on each day.
Watching Selena
Waiting for the Yankee game
Hope everyone is having a great vacation!
*g*a*b*i* (dont mind me im working on new siggys)

elderly woman behind the counter in a small town
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former
It's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream... hello...
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade... away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade...

So I got to Saratoga Friday. It's been an awesome weekend with my cuzzies. On Friday we just hung out, had dinner. Then we went to town. My cousins are usually such party animals but they came home fairly early. I dont understand how people can hold their alcohol like my they do. Its unbelieavable to me. Obviously they are older, but theyre also 1/2 Irish, im not. So I think that has something to do with it lol. I will never be like that. I have one teeny glass of champagne and Im like seeing things.
Anyway, Sat. we went to the track. I love the track. Then we went JET SKIING...It was awesome, I didn't get to drive but I might be able to tomorrow. Yesterday we went to the track casually. Dammmmn, if anyone is ever broke, trust me, go bet on a horse it pays well!
Sometimes we go to the track fancy, like in a box and all dressed up. But we can also just go casual and wear what we want and eat regular stuff. I like both. It depends on my mood. Today we also went to the barn, and fed my dads horses. It was wonderful. lol.
Yesterday one of my cousins left, one more is left. Tonite were going to the drive in ...yeah baby.
My summer is going really well...surprisingly. I dont have the best luck with summers. I just still really miss everyone. But the summer is more than half way there so ill be seeing them soon soon soon! Im just totally dreading school and soccer. UGH UGH UGH...
Im sorry this was another long post...I hate long posts...They suck. But I had a lot to say. It makes me happy when im having fun somewhere.
ahhhh I just found some live savers gummies in my bag yes yes yes these babys are the best...i gg enjoy them

There's nothing much to say. I babysat this morning, I'm babysitting this afternoon. I am getting paid tomorrow. YES!
I really really am missing my friends BADLY. Yesterday I wrote 3 of them a joint letter and wrote out every single thing I missed about being with them lol.
In the past years I've always found best friends that I thought would last, but of course nature takes its course, people change, ive been hurt, theyve been hurt. It sucks but its natural. Theres only a couple girls who from day 1 ive been close to and still am. But this year I think I really found my nitch. Theres a few girls who I dont think I could live without (and im having to do that this summer, but theres a couple i dont habe to do that with phew) Thats never happened to me before. I usually like being away from my friends for a couple months, but nope, not this time.
I think the following seperates friends and best friends from true sisters:
1) It's hard to live without them
2) You can 100% be yourself around them, and you can have the weirdest or nastiest habits or questions and not be embarassed to share it.**very important**
3) You never have to lie to them, even the smallest whitest lie. You can be honest, cos you know they'll understand and vice versa (see 6)
4) When you're with them you dont wanna leave
5) They're nice and thoughtful
6) They never lie to you or betray you and never have before
7) You dont need to keep reminding them that they are your bff, they already know. Vice Versa. And they don't pressure you to answer things you dont want to. They respect privacy.
8) They know when something is wrong. V V
9) You've never laughed harder than when you're with them
10)*I really like this one: Even when there is silence its never awkward ever. Its never like "Uh wat do u wanna do" "uh i dont know" you know what i mean? Everything is always 100% comfortable
This is my criteria and i have a few that totally fit the description and i think that the girls im thinking off will be my friends forever. Dont get me wrong i love to make new friends but i also like to have a group i can always count on for the 10 criteria.
Well ony a month or so left! I cannot wait!
More later*Gabrielle
