Home Stretch.

At first, i thought what am i going to blog about? i'm never going to do this, i don't know what i'm going to say. I didn't want to do the assignment. Well, it turns out i've actually had a lot of fun doing it. I feel like i've gotten to know people a lot better. We spend so much time together, 4 years, same school, 5 days a week, but with sports, really more, so many hours, we pretty much live together. we're a family in a way. west is our home. but arn't your family the people you know better than anyone? we sit in a classroom for the most part, not being able to talk to each other or really no time to get to know one another. That's why writers workshop is different, and i like it. I'm really gonna miss it next semester. I never really used to think about writing. But with all the stress and problems a teenager faces, that no one really understands whats better than to let it all out? who knows you better than yourself? I like writing it down on paper and just letting whatever it is go, it helps you feel better. i kind of got off track, we never get to know the people we're with for so long and writers workshop helped. I feel the closest to my writers worksshop class and comfortable and it actually makes me want to come to school, because i really know them. There are very few teachers that truly care about the student and how their feeling and whats going on in their life, but mrs. flurry has helped me realize how important it is. it makes us feel better that someone cares. I've really enjoyed blogging and while writing about my friends it's helped me realize how important they really are to me, and how great they are. Sometimes you take the good things for granited and i'm lucky to have everyone i have in my life. And i hope they stay. i hope you guys have enjoyed reading about my crazy friends and got to know me better in a way. love you all and don't forget to cherish what you have because you never know when you'll lose them.

Everyone has someone in their life that keeps them looking forward to another day: best friends.

If you saw my friends out somewhere, you'd probably think we're

one of the weirdest, loudest, most obnoxious people you've ever met. but that's us and we love it.

we know how to have a good time and there's never a dull moment. I wouldn't have it any

other way. I'm so lucky to have the friends i have and i really hope

we stick together throughout high school.

homecoming is usually everything the guy wants as far as plans

go right? they bought the tickets, they asked us, we wouldn't be

going without them. wrong. my friends planned everything,

we had to be together so we based the group off our dates and it didn't

matter what the guys thought because if they asked us they'd just have to deal

with it cause we weren't splitting apart. we did have to split for dinner and it kinda

sucked but it wasn't that bad. it's hard to make everyone happy.

Our friends started a tradition where we try to meet up all together,

just the girls and go out to eat atleast once a month. sometimes we go

see a movie, and sometimes not everyone can go, but its nice to get together.

we just laugh the entire time and no matter whats going on in our lives we forget

all about it and just have a good time all together.

So these are my best friends, we're loud we're crazy, we party, we laugh, we live for the moment. yeah it's cheesey but that's us. We're always up to have a good time and no matter what we're always there for each other. I couldn't imagine highschool with anyone else. I hope you enjoyed hearing about our crazy lifes and learned something new about me!

wherever we go, it's not in 2's, or 3's its in huge groups. if one

of us wants to go somewhere we all go. i love having all of them

around all the time and i hope boys or highschool or drama never

breaks our bond.

summer's are busy but we still made time to get all together for dinner

which is always something you never want to miss. i feel bad for everybody else

in the restaurants because we're so loud and never stop laughing they probably all hate us.

but hey, your only young once.

the big time rush concert was probably one of my all time favorite memories.

i have no idea what we're looking at i just thought it looked cool. I went to this concert with my girl friends

from south, and we had a giant sleepover the night before, made these awesome tee-shirts and went to one of our friends dads concerts at the record bar. then we got up super early and went to worlds of fun, road rides and then waited in line for hours to get in. we pushed through all the way to the front of the gate and were by people that were there since like 7 am so we were lucky. when they opened the gates we rushed

in, pushed shoved, i even got punched in the stomach. we all held hands and just charged. cops were everywhere screaming at us and trying to get our tickets. we ran on the grass where no one was to get ahead and got awesome seats. then we decided we could do better. me and a couple other girls walked up to the security guard and told him we got really hurt and trampled and punched and we lost our vip tickets. as you can see in the picture above, we got VIP. no we didn't buy them and it's bad to lie, but hey why not. he got VIP passes for all 6 of us and we rocked it. everyone was exhausted from waiting in line for so many hours but we were so excited. we stood up the entire time and kept texting the dj to look at us and he kept pointing us out and we were just dancing, us 6 in a row, funnest time ever. then we kept tweeting BTR and telling them to look for the 6 girls in the red & blue tie-dye shirts, well they went backstage and waved to us. that was probably the funnest concert i've ever been to and i've been to a lot. we even chased their tour bus.

yeah, i'm a cheerleader. but that doesn't mean anything. you can't tell what a cheerleader

is by looking them. their not sluts, or super preppy or talk like barbies. people that think cheerleading

is soooo easy, just try it. i'd like to see you lift girls in the air and catch them and you go in the air and not fall. in other sports you can do whatever you want with your body except the one hand your dribbling with or the one foot your kicking with, cheerleading is your entire body. you have to be super tight and hit your motions and smile and say words to a beat while doing the moves and jump in the air and be flexibile and you have to look good doing all of this. i hate when people sterotypicalize (<- word?) cheerleeaders and think were all dumb and blonde and whatever, we're not. so don't judge someone just because they're wearing a cheer uniform. or dont say oh its easy, cause how would you know? it just bugs me.

this was at the lake of the ozarks. yes, madisons in this picture but she blends right in doesn't she?

i love going to the lake, and i love my aunt liz who lives there. my family owns a lake house and i've practically grown up there. bagnal dam is always a good time and probably one of my favorite places.

West. v South.

The best part about my life is having many friends, at all schools. My closest friends go to south, but my best girl friends go to west. It's a struggle sometimes. A lot of times i wish i could just go to south but i'm starting to really like west. South people are a lot different. I'm really close with people from east and northwest also and south just really sticks out to me. They don't judge you, they don't care the way west does. If you walk down the hall wearing the wrong thing it's the biggest deal ever. If you rip your pants you get made fun of til you graduate and if you ripped your parents at south they would litterally skip school to sprint all the way home and get you another pair. I love my south friends but don't get me wrong my west friends mean a lot to me too. My boyfriend goes to south but even before that i've been friends with a lot of people from other schools. I like it though, having friends at really any school that i can go to. and when i'm bored, i really have anyone to hang out with. My south group of friends is like my family, and my outlet, it's good to get away sometimes. with people that don't care about the school drama, or anything really, they just want to see you. we do the craziest things. last weekend the usual group hanging out at the usual place (nicks house) walked to walmart, bought random stuff, then walked to winsteads and got a giant skyscraper. as usual, nick devoured it all very quickly and got most of it on his shirt and pants. After we walked to the christmas lights at vince & associates and just messed around. Then michelle (our fav mom) picked us up and drove us in the trunk all around to mcdonalds and everywhere. we just have so much fun together.

Stop searching for forever, happiness is right next to you.

This is my boyfriend zach gerber, but he's not like a normal boyfriend. He's not the guy you like that your awkward and quiet around, or that you can't tell him things. He's my best friend, litterally. Him and madison are by my side daily. We've almost been dating a year and we've grown and changed so much together. I can't believe it's almost been a year, it flew by but at the same time i feel like i've known him my entire life. He's the guy i call and scream guess what!!!! and he knows exactly what i'm going to say. He's the reason i'm always happy. We rarely fight and if we do it's over in 5 seconds, we arn't that typical high school couple that always are seen fighting and breaking up and getting back together, like that's not fun for me. I never write about him because usually girls who write about their boyfriends are like "why did you do this to me" type stuff and i doubt i'll ever have to say that. We trust each other a lot, and you kind of have to going to different schools. It's nice not having to worry like every girl thinking "wow i wonder what zachs doing" I don't have to wonder if i'm being too clingy or if we're about to break up, we're just happy, always, best friends side by side no problems. I have no idea how i got so lucky because honestly, It's the perfect relationship. I don't have to wear makeup or look my best, he doesn't care. We never stop laughing and are our complete selves. I can tell him anything and he'll be there no matter what. He just wants to see me happy, and if you asked him how is he such a great boyfriend all the time that's what he'd say. " i do it to see her happy" thats what he always tells me. I'm not gonna be sappy, i love him so much, i'd die without him, cause we arn't like that. We're both silly so that's just how we are. If he suprises me it's not gonna be a box of chocolates or jewlery, its probably gonna be something that jumps out of a box when you open it and hits you in the face. Don't get me wrong he's no jerk, he opens every door for me, buys me anything and everything, walks me to the door and covers me with blankets when i fall asleep..which is a lot cause for some reason i'm always tired. All those quotes you see girls post like "i want a guy that...." whatever i always read them thinking wow zach is all these things. I don't look at him as just my boyfriend because he's my best friend too. And i'm so lucky to have that and i'm confident that i won't loose that.

Anna Banananana

Anna and I have known each other since 6th grade. Even though now we're freshman in highschool we still act like we did in 6th grade. We laugh at everything, even things that arn't funny. No matter how bad my day is, I can go to her and she'd make me laugh til i feel like i'm getting abs. Its nice to have such a great group of friends that you can go to with anything and always have fun with. Our friend group even has "girls nights out" to catch up and we all just go out to dinner and have a good time. Anna is probably one of my favorite people to hang out with because there's never a dull moment. We can make a good time out of anything. In 6th grade we hung out every single day in the summer with matthew stuart, cole bryant and kyle stonestreet. We did the most random things, one time we had a garage sale, a cookie stand on an ironing board, a lemonade stand which turned into a war with eli and cole. Instead of spin the bottle we played spin the sandle, and kissing on the cheek was the biggest deal ever. Matthews trampoline was where we met and decided what we would do for the day. That was probably one of the best summers and now that everyones changed i miss it. When it comes down to the serious stuff, we're there for each other always. We've probably been through everything you could imagine together. Another memory i have is when we would hang out we would always attempt to cook (yes, all my friends love to eat) we'd always make smoothies and taquiotos and ravioli and orange juice. and we'd always take our fish vitamins. Once we were making smoothies and.....anna forgot to put the lid on..lets just say it went everywhere. It was so funny. We would always say "laugh til we pee" and we weren't just saying that. we would litterally pee our pants from laughing so hard. My funniest memories are probably with anna and whenever theres a party Me her and madison just have to hit it up together, and trust me we make our entrance. Last weekend we brought anna to a south party and the entire time you hear everyone whispering "who is that girl...." I don't know what i'd do without anna, and i'm so glad i met her cause she really has made an impact on my life.

My Best Friend

This is my best friend in the entire world, Madison Nicole Langford. Yes, we have the same name, and middle name too, and pretty much the same everything. We both have older sisters and their practically the same personality aside of a few differences. A lot of people think we're twins, since we pretty much are sisters and go on every vacation together, we like to fool people into believing we are. We always tell them shes madison and i'm mackenzie, although when you meet hot guys and they ask to add you on facebook we run into a few problems. We haven't been like normal best friends, because we arn't like normal best friends. I haven't known her since we were in diapers and we didn't grow up together, but in a way we did. I met her in 7th grade and we weren't that close, we hung out every so often and had like one inside joke and that's all we ever said to each other "i'll get the candles" cause we called "hanging out" a "date" come on, we were in 7th grade. By the end of 7th grade/that summer we were glued at the hip, litterally spent 4 days apart that entire summer. I met someone i could tell anything to, be myself around, and trust. We never stopped laughing. She's the only person in the world i don't have to worry about. I can do anything, talk about anything, tell her anything, ask her anything, wear anything, trust her with anything, i know she won't judge me, She'd never talk behind my back. I'll probably be writing a lot about her. We don't go a day apart and in these couple years we've both grown and change and helped each other form into who we are now, and honestly, i couldn't have done it without my best friend.

If someone video taped our day to day lives, we'd probably have no friends. Our daily routine is usually if we're at her house we walk in, tell jake & gus to stop barking, drop the bags and go straight to the kitchen for food. she's a skinny girl, but man can she chow down. My favorite thing about her is we can be our complete selves around each other, like we don't even think twice about what we're doing. We passed that stage a long time ago. Her mom walks around the house in underwear and I walk around there house in mine, its just typical. She goes to my family reunions and no one looks twice, both of our families just look at us like we really are sisters. I don't go one day without thanking god for blessing me the best friend a girl could ask for, and i don't know what i did to be so lucky but i'm glad i did it.

INTRO

Hi guys my names Madison Moore, and i'm doing this blog for my writers workshop class. honestly, when she told us we were going to be doing a blog about something we love i couldn't think of anything. A blog is all about you and its hard for me to let out all my true feelings where i know anyone can see. I decided i'll write about the most important things to me. My best friends. After reading this you'll learn how important my friends are to me and how lucky i am to have friends like them because they truly are one of a kind. Like all friends, we have our ups and downs, our crazy nights, our laughs and through everything we're there for each other. In growing up i've learned it would be extremely hard to get through anything without friends. I have no idea how i got blessed with the best best friend in the world, Madison Langford and we're litterally family. My other best friend is my boyfriend of a year, Zach Gerber and the two of them have made me who i am today, and the reason i have an everlasting smile on my face. I hope you enjoy reading stories and seeing pictures of my friends and I. I'm sure they will make you laugh because if you know any of us, I don't think we ever stop.
