I've never been good at Social Studies. Never been a Social Studies nerd, geek, etc. Never wanted to be for that matter. I mean it sounds like a horrible life, actually if you asked me in the beginning of this I would have told you they had no life.

Searching the Internet and books franticly taking anything you could get your hands on doesn't sound like the time of my life. I'd rather be out on the town trying to find the perfect guy. Believe me there have been guys, but never the one you know.

My best friend River Phoebe doesn't believe everyone has a special someone for them. I know her name is weird.

Her mom loved the actor River Phoenix, she swore she would name her son after him. Well, as you can figure she got Phoebe instead. So as long as I've known her River has been playing the bad girl.

She's done almost everything you can imagine. Almost. But actually under it all she's… well she's Phoebe. In honor of Faith Hill she's a wild one.

I asked Phoebe if she believed if everyone has someone for them. She replied "Juliet Weaver the world would be a sorry place if everyone believed like you do."

And yes I'm named Juliet after the stupid girl in Romeo and Juliet. I swear if the story of Romeo and Juliet was true Juliet would make a pretty good screaming horror girl. I'm just sayin.

Anyway, I should have suspected River would say something like that. I mean the girl doesn't even believe John Lenon's dead even though she snuck into the funeral and saw his corpse. The only advice I can give you is that giraffe costumes do not work at funerals.

Now you probably don't know what this has to do with the movie the patriot. But before I jump into this story I need you to know these things you just read.

I need you to know that I was just a normal opinionated sixteen year old girl that lived in a town nobody outside of Pennsylvania has ever heard of.
