I'm in love!

My new found love affair began with my intense boredom caused by being stranded in my empty home. I began by shopping for clothes and I came across a new store. Love Culture is without a doubt my new favorite fashion line. It's great for teenagers because it follows new trends without being ridiculously overpriced. And for once in my life the clothes actually fit me. Finally my disgustingly long legs will be fully covered by a pair of unaltered denim.

Because of my overactive imagination, my mind quickly wandered to the hundreds of things i would change about my aqua room. First, the color. I know I could never live with simply white walls,and then the idea of littering my soon to be bare walls with countless photographs. Although I am proud of one or two of my pictures from Paris, they aren't worthy of a frame and the eyes of the many friends who enter my room. So again, I decided to turn to the internet. I don't know how on earth I found her, but I discovered a blog, which led me to a web sight. Alicia Bock Photography, thank you for making my life!

Stop! It's summer time ~

April Fool's!!!

Today we had a swim meet against Terra Linda. I swam a 200 medley relay, a 200 freestyle, a 50 freestyle, a 200 freestyle relay, and a 100 breaststroke.

Okay so the drama begins ... now.

So I swam in a lot of races today, and Ilija was being really nice and wishing me luck before every race and congratulating me on a good swim (even if I sucked) I was talking to Maddy before a race and he said good luck to me and not her, but I thought he was kidding. After I swam the 100 breaststroke, I was so sad because I did terrible on that race, and he made me feel better. Suzie, Kara, Maddy, and Hannah pulled me over and told me that he liked me. I told them they were stupid, because I could tell by Maddy's face that she wasn't very happy. So the meet ended and Ilija's grandparents were giving Leiska, Mary Bridget, and I a ride home. Two of us had to double buckle because there were only three seats for the four of us. Ilija got in first and Leiska was about to get in, but she said no, Nicole your skinnier. So I double buckled with Ilija, Leiska sat next to me and then Mary Bridget squeezed in. I was practically sitting on his lap, Leiska wouldn't stop giggling. When we got to my house I said goodbye. A little while later Leiska texted me and asked what I thought of Ilija, obviously I was thoroughly confused and she said that he was interested in me, and that Maddy didn't have a chance with him because he doesn't even like being in her presence. I don't know why, but I'm scared... For a lot of reasons, I'm scared that Maddy will hate me, that Joey will hate me (because I told him I don't want a boyfriend in High School) or that I'm not really what Ilija wants. I guess I'll never find out what will happen if I don't go for it.

Rolling Stone Application

To Whom It May Concern:

I am not your average writer. I don’t have any college degrees to symbolize my determination, or any awards to show my intelligence, and I doubt anyone would recognize me in a crowd. My name is Nicole Love, I am currently a freshman at Justin-Siena High School in Napa, California; and at fourteen, my goals are far different from those of my peers. This is not surprising, however, for I am different from them in almost every way. Perhaps this is because of my constant relocation, throughout my life I have lived in Belgium, Singapore, and numerous places in California, all the while visiting countless other countries. This, combined with my pure Scottish heritage, has made me extremely diverse and tolerant of every culture and religion I come into contact with. I think my unique point of view will be a valuable asset to Rolling Stone magazine.

I wish I could say I am a young prodigy, but in truth, the only extraordinary thing about me is my passion. My first memory was watching my parents read the paper together; now my father is constantly traveling and my mother is caught up with my younger brother. The only time we come together as a family, it seems, is when we are discussing world events. Throughout my life, when I pictured my future, the only thing I saw myself doing was being a journalist. Not only do I want to write about the events that affect our society, but also the events that influence our generation; this is why I feel Rolling Stone is ideal for my perspective.

Of course I understand that passion and a unique outlook is not enough to get me far in life. I have always been extremely driven and I have been told I am very intelligent. I have recently been accepted into my high school’s advanced placement classes in both World History and English, and when I lived in Singapore I participated in an exclusive writing course sponsored by an acclaimed author. I have been a member of many school newspapers and some of my stories have been published in my town’s local newspaper, The Sonoma Index Tribune.

I am aware that my age is something to consider, but I have never looked at it as a negative factor. I am extremely determined and stubborn, if someone tells me I can’t do something, I will only try that much harder. If it was too much to think I would be accepted into this internship, then at least do me this favor; remember my name because I plan to apply once more when I am older. You may ask me why I would even bother applying at fourteen, but I expect to accomplish great things in my life, and I see nothing wrong with getting a head start. I do, after all, have one life to live and I don’t want to look back and wonder “What if?” By sending you this e-mail, I don’t think I ever will.

Sincerely,

Nicole Love
