I love my cat...soooo much.

it snizzled yesterday.
[snizzle = like drizzle, only snow] 

i made a faint shirt.
& watched ren & stimpy.

& ate yummy food at calypso cafe.

the end.
...back to putting my records on my computer

*disclaimer: the following statements are not intended for EVERYONE at Siegel...just the jerks...!

AHHHHHHHHH! WE SO TOTALLY WON! IN YA FACE! man....i can't believe how good it felt to whoop 'em. dag yo. i mean, that house was packed. figures that Siegel gave OHS a tiny student section, so a buncha people had to stand on the floor...and yes, some of us did act pretty gangsta, but for the most part i was rather proud of the class we sorta showed at the game. man. it was awesome. i also got to sit w/ Jared for most of the guy's game. he's so cool. yay for friends. i just still can't believe we won! that's right ya'll! we don't need to be perfect, we don't have to have gobs of money...WE'RE JUST THAT GOOD! much love to you all. (even you siegel folks)...Cari  

I have "The Wheels on the Bus" stuck in my head, only I can't remember any of the other verses, so my mind looks pretty much like this:

'The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round.  The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, aaaall over the town!  .............The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round.  The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, aaaall over the town!  ........Dammit......... The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round.  The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, aaaall over the town!  ...............The wheels on the bus go....'  Et cetera ad nauseum.
Bloody hell.

Well, the OHS vs. SHS game was certainly entertaining.  Imagine what it's like having one member of each school standing on either side of you, asking pointedly where you're going to sit.  Cripes!

Kelly (RHS): "Either way, one of you is going to kill me!"
Nemanja (OHS): "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
Brian (SHS): "I will...."

I just referred to myself in third person up there.  Scary.

So according to our illustrious Economics teacher, Earth is heading toward impending ecological DOOM, because the Asians are procreating (dammit, Frank).  This woman is paranoid.  Each day she has informed us of various disasters, stating that she has to do this 'by law.'  At least it'll keep things interesting.  If you call death predictions 'interesting,' anyway.  (Professor Trelawny, line one.)

The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round....

here I am just heard about phusebox....thought Id give it a shot...

doop do do do do

life is good?

Well I suppose siegel lost  last night but I am still really proud of our team. Everyone needs to remember to keep Rebeka in your prayers in hopes that she is alright. Hope everyone has a great weekend! <3 Brittany

It just seems like this place needs an update.

So here it is.

[insert update here]

yay!

I'm never doing that again unless I'm in a moving truck! (hmm... never say never.) 

here's a few things that made it not so awful.

1. my ipod and the first season of lost until the battery power i had ran out. (which was like 5 episodes)

2. at 8:00 am we saw this church sign when we stopped at sonic. I have a question for this church of christ somewhere in east tennessee, are you proud of this? REALLY??? someone thought they were being very clever. (I'm sure this sign attracts droves of grateful givers)



3. being with two good friends and laughing really hard

4. beth moore and her believing god teaching cd's

5. InStyle magazine's January edition

6. finally seeing the city skyline again and being really happy :)


I think i'm becoming David Letterman with my lists that i make on this thing :)


on a completely different thought I just read this:

MAT KEARNEY TO PERFORM ON CARSON DALY!
On Friday, January 13, set your TiVo or DVR and tune in to watch Mat perform on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly! This will be Mat's first national television appearance, don't miss it!

that's really really cool - he's awesome
make sure you check it out

Well, the first week of school back from Christmas break is over, that's extremely surprising. I seriously cannot believe how quickly the school year has gone by. I mean, it's already 3rd freaking quarter, and I can remember swimming in my pool over the summer break of '05, just like it was last week or something. Crazy stuff pals, crazy stuff. Anyway... for Christmas I got a few gadgets that I adore, including my new cell phone, and my new digital camera. Other then those things, I got my Chanel necklace that I also adore, and a new coat and scarf, some $$, some gift cards, hmm... a couple of movies, some perfume, a new sweater, a tote bag, some really good smelling stuff from Bath and Body works. I pretty much hit the mother load.

TOTALLY!

Hmm... I spent all of my Christmas money already too. I bought some new undies, a new purse, and some pants. I still have about $10 left on a card, I plan on getting some hawt beads from Claires with that... The break was relaxing, and I cannot wait until summer vaca.

fOR sURE .. ...

mmhmm, yeah boi. Well, I'm not sure what else to post, catch ya later.

<3 marissa.

This past week I was able to attend Passion '06. It was amazing. I posted earlier this week on how I was even able to attend, first amazing thing. And the worship and the speakers... wow.

So I think I realized God's purpose for me being there Wednesday afternoon. There were breakout sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday. Basically this meant you chose a speaker you wanted to hear and went to the place to hear them. On Wednesday I went to hear Beth Moore speak. Before then, I had not had the opportunity to hear her speak to a group of young women. She is one amazing speaker and woman of God. So many things she said pulled on my heart. I heard God speaking to me through her.

She spoke on the pits we get ourselves in. Ones that we either get in innocently, by slipping in, or just plain jumping in. I will be honest and say I am in a pit myself. One that I have been in for many years. One that I got thrown into at a young age. One that God revealed to me that I came to make my home. It has become so familiar. I have come to accept it as normal. There is also one that I slipped into, but by the grace of God, am getting pulled out of. But the one I was thrown in is the one He spoke to me about.

I learned that I don't belong in a pit. This is not my home. Jesus came to pull us out of these pits that we get ourselves in. We can get out, there is no pit we cannot get out of – no matter what it is.

I also learned that you will live out your belief system, you live out what you truly believe. Wow. That one slapped me right across my face.

Because of the many different situations in my life, some how, over the course of time, have shaped me. I came to believe what those situations told me personally. Lies about who I am and who I will be. My worth...

But those are lies. Satan comes to steal and destroy. And he has stolen much from me. But God came to give that back. And He is restoring me. He is helping me overcome these lies that were instilled me through the course of my life.

I really can live victoriously. Freedom.

So, all in all, Passion was awesome. If you ever get the opportunity to go, you better take it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

I have been in Tennesse since just before Christmas and have not really
had much time to blog lately. In addition, I was trying to get this new
server thing solved so PhuseBox could get back online. All that to say,
here is the "Catch-Up" blog, where I will take you through the
entertaining events of the past 2 weeks:


First, there was Christmas. I had a pretty good Christmas... visited
family, gave gifts, that sort of thing... When Rachael and I exchanged
gifts, I was very surprised. After opening about five different boxes
that contained an even smaller box inside, I finally got to the wrapped
gift. Having no idea what I was about to receive, I ripped the paper
and, there in my hands, sat a video iPod... and not just the 30 GB,
no... the 60 GB. Wow. I did not see that one coming. It was the best
gift I got this year and the most surprising. My fiance must love me
very much... hmmmm...





So then, because of my new gadget, Rachael and I got sucked into the
world of LOST. I download a few of the first episodes on iTunes and on
Christmas night, we got bored and decided to watch one... thus, it
began. Yesterday, we finally caught up to where the television show is
right now... that's right... we watched all of season 1 and half of
season 2.


Then, came New Year's. Rachael and I decided last month that we were
going to through a New Year's party. And so we did. And it was good. It
was a cocktail-less cocktail party... everyone dressed up and
everything. It took us all day to decorate... and even then, the light
strands that we hung from the ceiling kept falling down, but all in
all, it was a great party... And we even rung in the New Year with
sparkling grape juice... mmmm.



the decorations


glowing orb of light (redundant?)


















Next, PASSION. Passion is a worship event/conference that was held in
Nashville, TN this year. Awesome. Enough said. Photos below:
















I guess you could say I have had a pretty nice time over the holidays. I leave tomorrow night to go back to New York City... all is well. I am just looking forward to the wedding in May...

Until Next Time...

So, since phusebox came back I haven't really had an entry, and I don't feel like writing one right now, but I'll fill you in a little on what's been going on.

Christmas was okay I guess. It was the first x-mas with my stepmom. So therefore, it was the first x-mas not just my dad and I. I hated it now that I think about it. I didn't get to spend any time with him. When I got to his house, he hardly talked to me, and then he left after fifteen minutes. and so I was upset. It was the frist x-mas without being buddies like we used to be. And it was the first year we drew names at my grandma's, which was completely awkward and strange. But whatever. I got money for shopping, clothes, DVD recorder, and bed sheets and comforter :)

New Years...went to Marylane's house with some friends and stayed the night. It was fun, but I got in a fight, and I was sooo pissed off. But thats in the past now, and we have reconciled.

School's back in cession and I'm not going to procrastinate like I have been. Actually I cant procrastinate like I have been, because I cant have another semester with three B's. Blehhhh

So, our spring play in drama is called You Can't Take it With You. Its like Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The role with the most lines and stage time is probably the character of grandpa, which is now grandma and is played by Jackie Fowler!!! but like meet the parents, its centers around the two people who are getting married and have comepletely opposite families. Well I got the Romantic Lead!!!  Oh yeah! I'm so happy! I really didn't think I would get it. But I did!! So yeah, my characters name is Tony. And he falls in love with Alice, but her family is psycho, and his family is rich and proper, but he loves her family but Alice just can't except how different they are and doubts how their marriage will work. Ashley Marshall is Alice. Yeah, that means we'll be getting pretty close together on stage ;) . We practice a lot, but I'm ready to start rehearsals!

Well we lost to oakland last night for the first time. Mmmm...shame. If you are a true nation fan like me, you were extremely disappointed. But, I am not gonna sit here and make up garbage about the game like the refs won it for them. B/c that is crap, they beat us fair and square. But wait till districts, because Oaklands little victory will be short lived. So Oakland people, if u read this, don't forget who beat u 4 times in a row last season. But I guess you guys were due for a win. The game itself, was nothing short of amazing. The 4th quarter had me on the edge of my seat. After the game, it was absolute chaos. I almost ran over like 3 black guys and a skinny white boy who decided to run out in front of my moving vehicle and give his girlfriend a hug. You can bet that I lost all sense of christian behavior and gave that guy a honk and told him to read between the lines! But Shelby, who was in the car with me, stopped me before I did or said anything too stupid. Anyway, that was my friday night. A little disappointing to end on, but it was really alot of fun. Enjoy the weekend guys.
~Garrett

"I've been too chicken shit afraid to live my life so I sold it to you for a lousy three hundred dollars a week."

I've been thinking about my life and where it's going.  I firmly believe that God has a plan for everyone.  Maybe I'm missing something.  Everyone, but me sometimes, seems to know where they are headed. I don't know. 

Hello Lovelys

*edit*
to anybody i offended with this entry.. i'm sorry...
i've edited out all the mean parts....
just last night was CRAZY..
& us oakland fans just wanted our respect...
for beating yall...  & not any of this "oh the refs won it for yall" stuff..
so if we get our respect.. then i'll be happy to give it to yall..
but again, i'm sorry...

okay so-- NO words could EVER describe how i feel right now.. & i dont think i'm going to even try...

for anyone who doesn't know... but i'm pretty sure everyone already does--

OAKLAND BEAT SIEGEL.. 61-57

& to everyone who is saying "oh the refs won it for yall-- they blew all the calls" freakin bull crap.. Oakland won that game FAIR & SQUARE.. we put up solid defense in the 2nd half that just basically shut siegel down.. we came back & won because WE wanted it that bad.. that's TRUE spirit... thats a TRUE nation...

& to top this amazing night off... beating siegel means that...
WE'RE UNDEFEATED & NUMBER 1 IN THE DISTRICT & WE BEAT THEM AT SIEGEL
ahhhhhh! it feels SO good to be on top!

hahaha picture shawn made for me.... & the part about "Were the refs looking at ______ butt?! is an inside joke.. haha & i had to cover up the name

Retardedme4eva: they dont suckk..its just..they will never step to our level..even if we lose we are always winners and thats why they are so jealous

               Siegel's Garbage
I'm pretty sure Oakland beat siegel sure it was close but who really care and we were at "Siegel Nation"! Which is getting less impressive everytime I go! but they gave us a tiny fan section and I'm pretty sure we had just as many fans so we kinda had to wrap around the gym and they kept on having to tell us to keep off of the court! I guess Siegel's just not good enough to contain us! And everyone said they were better! Ha what a joke! you can read some other stuff on my xanga if you want!

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok so iv never been this excited ever that was the best game ever i mean totally nerve racking i was spazzing the whole time

screaming my head off

taht game was a blast

GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

life is good. eternal life is better.

-milly

pretty sure one of my SHS friends(who shall remain nameless)  called me after the game he tried 4 times @ like 11 oclock (much to the dismay of my parents) and i finally called him back and he did this just to tell me about a "fight" that was allegedly started after the game by some oakland kids dude i love the boy tons but come on i didnt call him to tell on his students.. o well its all good i suppose

lets all be nice

*so i was at church the other night... and for some strange reason i was reading the bulitin (strange... b/c everyone at church knows that i always politely take one... but never actually open it)... and i was reading over the prayer list... and i saw my name! which was also strange... it was a request to pray for my freshman year... i thought that was sooo sweet.... that my church family loved me enough to put me on the list... and then it hit me... their prayers for this last semester were answered... b/c all that i got accomplished sooo wasn't me... and the fact that i wasn't home sick... and how much God really blessed me... God blessed me soo much and gave me all kinds of grace... mainly for the reason that people prayed for me. awe!!! that really choked me up! ahh! it's soo awesome!

*thought for the day... "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." (Romans 8:6) this was in my devos today... and i really made me think about how as Christians.. when we focus on the world... and we focus on material things... or we lust after what we don't have... it kills us spiritually... but when we focus on the things that can't be touched... when we seek to serve those around us... and just seek after spiritual things insted of worldly things... we become spiritaully alive... and we find the peace. how awesome is that? and it just made me take a step back... and think about all the things that just kill me spiritually. it was really just a good heart check for me... so i thought i'd share it with you guys... maybe it means nothing to you... but maybe it's something you need to hear to. anyways... it's late. night guys! ~Hope

I think I've lost all respect for the Oakland student body. 

in case you didn't here....

OAKLAND WON
61-57!!

OAKLAND DOMINATION

lindsey

Have you ever really hoped for something, something huge? And thought you knew when it MIGHT happen and somehow got all excited about it and caught up in it, all w/o knowing if it would happen? Yeah it SUCKS. I dont' even like that word but it describes this. I just dont know, blah, blah, blah. I feel like crying sorta but really its my own fault. If I could just learn to not hope things would be so much better.

MEW

Yeah, so pretty sure I can't wait until a Disney Channel Original movie comes out!  High School Musical looks pretty AWESOME! 

Yeah, so I may be a goob, but it looks good!  :)

Actually, it looked good when I only saw the 1st advertisement of it.  I'm totally into the small portions of the songs they play on the commercials.  I even have my own dance (if u can call it that...cause it's pretty hilarious!) to "Get My Head in the Game."  :) 

...gotta get my, get my head in the game...gotta getcha getcha getcha getcha head in the game...

Ha.  LOL!  :) 

And, I spent some time on the website...yeah, the movie has a website... :) 

Wow...so I am pretty crazy, but loving musicals may be a part of that.  And hopefully this one turns out to be as good as it looks to be. 

Oh!  ANd Cats is coming here!  I'm totally excited and so going.

Well, gonna stop now!

I love you and so does Jesus!

Well, it's been a while since I've actually typed anything on here...  not much to say really.  Oh well.  Life goes on.  Things seem to be going pretty well though.

Wow, I just realized that I am really boring, and I really do have absolutely nothing to talk about now that I think of it.  hehe.  That's actually kind of amusing for some odd reason.  Yes, I'm weird, get over it.  Anyway, I got a laptop for Christmas.... yay!  Wait a second.... why the heck are the neighbors shooting off fireworks right now????  Sorry... random distracted moment.  Yeah.... so I got a laptop... happiness... maybe I'll be able to keep up with this thing better then.  Oh, and I went snowboarding in Yosemite in California....  I had a blast!!  It was crazy though.

Ok, that's all for now.

Oh, and Nemanja:  you better keep in touch with me on this thing now, since I no longer have 1st period with you, and I rarely ever get to see you now!  *frowns*

Well, I'll yackatchalata!!  ~Elaine

Passion 06 was Indecribable.....

 God really gave me peace about something and i Praise him for that!!! i was really worried and stressed out about it!!!

i met some amazing people!!!
i love it when you have just met someone and they ask to pray with you and for you!!!

i have the greatest friends!!!

Love Through Christ!

I feel like such a sucky hornist comming off from breaks. Like, I practice over breaks, yeah, but I guess I don't practice enough for the amount of playing that I do during the school year. I should change that. Like, in a normal day I have the horn on my face for 5 or 6 hours, and during the break I only play for half that time. Oh well, I'm not concerned about my low range, because I just got where I could play below low C a two weeks ago, so that still needs to be developed, but my high range that I used to be praised for is slowing comming back, and I need it back now. Lol. Oh well, I just have to get back into my normal routine and all will be good.

I updated my website today, so you should look. To view, click here.

So I can't stand AP English. I actually came out of there nearly crying. The only class I can't drop, I really want to. The following are the reasons for my mental breakdown.

1. I studied for two days for the Middle English passage, and made a terrible grade.

2. That woman decided to change what our term paper was going to be on. I am one of those kids who has had their book picked out since freshman year. Now, instead we have to write a term paper on a Canterbury tale. Goodness, we have been studying this it seems like forever, do we really need to go more in depth.

3. I do not feel like I am going to prepared for the AP exam. We have only written one paper in thier this whole year. Then all sudden she wants us to start preparing. So basically, we slack off the whole first of the year, and try to cram everything in at the end. She isn't a good teacher, and only seems to care about the yearbook.

I really wish I could drop this class, but I need to take the AP, and to do that I have to be in this class. Really, I made a 36 on reading on the ACT, isn't like I can't pass this. If I am going to be made to jump through pointless hoops for grades that don't even count, I might just loose.

**EDIT**

Did anyone else notice the Oakland domatation group? So they win one game in five by four points and thinks they dominate us? Hello, we beat you in football, and well pretty much everything else. So one game isn't that big of deal.

yo

I very well may be the oldest person in this blog group. My daughter knew I needed a way to vent, so she sent me this way. More later when I get mad about something.

so we have a choreographer... Brandon is amazingly awesome and SO HILARIOUS!! but he makes me nervous about the audition workshop i signed up to do w/ him... this'll be harder than i thought... since we're taking so much more effort in just even casting the show, hopefully it'll be a phenomenal show (better than Blackman and Oakland and such lol)...

Phantom of the Opera will soon be the longest running Broadway musical in history, beating out Cats. I've been to NY three times and still haven't seen it... or any Broadway show for that matter. So who wants to take me to go see it? It'd be fun. I'm sure Nathan wouldn't mind us staying with him... ha ha...

I also want to see Beauty and the Beast and Little Women. I'm such a girl...

The Phantom of theOpera is here
Inside your mind...

remember when we had our innocence?
I miss those days
especially when I see what's happening to
people so close to me
I just want to slap them
but I guess I cant do anything about it

hope you like the new profile picture?

oh, the questions of the day is--
if you could do something special,
I mean REALLY special, for someone
what would you do? and why?

ps;; I like the new ketchup packet. random, I know. but have you seen those things?

T0dAY iS O-DAY......

SIEGELS GARBAGE
DID YOU SEE THAT TRASH?? DANG!!!!
^^not original, but hey, neither are they.

randys refs;;always the right call -->100%.. OOO-RIGINAL

oakland domination all the way, babyy

Here's a few questions for you and I'm anxious to hear your responses:

If people don't believe that the Holy Spirit can dwell inside of them, are they christians?

Do you believe that the holy spirit can dwell inside of a person, but the person can refuse to let the spirit transform them?

Tell me your opinion.

Am I really that ugly?

How can it be?
That you're too good for me.
Why Can't you see?
In your arms is where I want to be..

Your smile is radiant.
Your touch is sweet.
Your words are true.
Your view is distorted.

So...life's not too bad.
School is OVERLY hectic.
I've stopped thinking about *him* so much.
Yet, on days like these, it doesn't seem real.
He's gone--and he's not coming back.
But I'm really at peace-
With my life.
My family.
My friends.

Anywhooooooo

God Bless Texas.

Screw you USC, screw you.
Vince Young should have won the Heisman for being a freakishly awesome football player. I mean come on..467 total yards of offense to Reggie's 150? Hah.. 

This is for Reggie Bush:

Watching you win the Heisman Trophy - saddening
Watching you win 2 straight National Championships - upsetting
Watchiing you rush for 82 yards, not be in to score the winning touchdown, and seeing you hanging your head after you lost to Texas - priceless.

Matt Lineart said after the game that USC was still the better team, Texas just made more plays. That could very well be true but look where you play and look where Texas plays. Pac-10 vs Big 12. USC in the Pac-10 is like Tennessee, Florida, or Georgia playing in the Sun Belt.

The better team might or might not have been on the losing end of the game the other night but it all comes down to who wants it more. And that's exactly what happened..

Texas played with nothing to lose.
USC played not to lose.

The season is finally over and I'll post some more thoughts and reflections later one. Right now it's another game for the ages..ok..it's an exciting game. Oakland / Siegel anyone? Eh, why not.

sightreading can die. die die die die die die....!!!!! die!

yes...mr. medford told me i could have been 1st band 4th chair...but NOOOO sight reading sucks butt!

I'm on the outside looking in again. Oh well...

so it seems i have a stalker! ;) but in a good way! a stalker that i do not mind :D anyways, life has been going great! i am soooo ready for people to be back in the boro! they are coming back slowly one by one and that's great, but i want them ALL back! minus the school part - that can stay away!

Wow so it's been a crazy break!! I am definatly not ready to go back I have been having way to much fun! Well my christmas was great and so was New Years got to spend it with my best girl Sarah...we missed you Lauren!!! Well through this break God has really been showing me a ton of stuff. I have a huge problem with patience and waiting (same thing haha sorry) and He has really been showing me how everything will work out in HIS perfect timing. I have always loved Matthew 6: 33-34 where it says "But seek first HIS kingdom and HIS rightousness, and ALL things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
God really laid that verse on my heart these past couple of weeks and really has been showing me in my life that He will take care of me and won't let me face things that are to big for me to deal with. He knows  me and He knows what I can handle and what I can't.
Well hope everyones break has been as good as mine has been. Mucho Love!!

"I haven't actually done my nails in God knows how long. And I haven't had the will to do anything to my hair in forever. I've just been resorting to the old stand by of a pony tail. 'You look tired.' That's what they say. Well obviously. What was the first clue? I haven't had the energy to really laugh. And I haven't had the same enthusiasm for anything. I put on my Prom dress just to see if it still fit and suddenly discovered I didn't care. I desperately tried to get it back and I put up the dress and I put on my shiny pants. That didn't work either. 'You look and sound tired, hun.'

Well Hell yeah I'm tired. I haven't actually slept in all of three or four weeks. Do you know what it's like to lay awake in your bed crying your eyes out? To lay there just thinking and crying and feeling like there's something wrong with you? Well that's what I do, every night. I can't remember the last time I actually went to bed and just dropped off like everyone else. And when I do fall asleep I dream. I dream of you. Sometimes I wake up crying because I've had a horrible dream of losing you.

Look at me. I look like hell all the time. I lie awake at night trying to figure out where the hell I went wrong and where I screwed up.I try to figure out what I did that ran you off, that made you stop answering me. Some nights I hate you so much it's not funny, but I don't really hate you because I can't. I cry and I cry and I want to scream because I love you and you don't know it or you don't get it. It's not fair. I miss you most of all. And some nights I feel like you lied to me. You left me with a kiss and a promise that it wasn't forever. You made me promise that would call you, that I wouldn't lose touch with you. And I just can't feel anymore sometimes. I want to stop crying and start sleeping again, but I can't.

I know why I don't sleep and why I'm tired. It's because I fell in love and then I let you go. I let you walk away because I was afraid. I'm still afraid. I' m afraid I lost you and I screwed up my chances. I'm scared out of my mind. I love you. I always have."

So yeah I wish could say this out loud and get it off my chest, but I don't have the bloody courage to do it.

So someone told me that I needed to do this name thing.... tell me what you guys think... that means you have to comment!!

guess who is getting a new cell phone!!!! we ordered it last night and i did overnight so it should be here either by the end of the day or saturday.....yay! i'm excited. i'm actually gonnna have txt messaging!! excitedness!!

Hey guys.....I am still completely and utterly speechless....

GOD...the creator of the universe wants me...He cares for me...He cares for you...He loves you

God has shown Himself to me in ways that I can not describe in text nor in speech. My prayer tonight is that each of you experience the love of a fogiving, perfect, loving, gracious, fantastic, merciful, TRUE Savior.

As I stated in the title, this is Part 1 of ???. Pretty much the ??? means that I will continue to type until I dont have anything to say, which for those who know me, maybe a very long time.

This is the first of many, treat this like a trailer to that to come, when I am not sleep deprieved for my savior. Maybe as early as tomorrow afternoon.....I love suspense....

This feeling has come over me a lot more than once over the past month or so. I'm really beginning to feel like I have absolutely nothing to offer my friends when they seriously talk to me about things in their lives that I can't relate to. I want to be there for them and encourage them, but sometimes that just doesn't feel like enough for me. Something else to pray about I guess.

-James

Hey guys... Yep... I felt inspired to write more. Have a great day.
-----------
I wish I could go,
Where dreams come true
On a daily basis,
or when you need them
Because life's not havin' it...
And I crawl into bed
I pray to God
Who listens to my every cry
I know He'll help me
Yet I feel abandoned
And left to figure it all out
Down here on my own..
------------
I feel there are days, where
Love doesn't matter,
For in all my experience
All I've ever loved, has
Not been a waste,
but sent out to sea

And never returned,
simply left to be a cast away..
-----------
Life as a teen's
Not great for me
Seems one day's good
Next, screwed as can be
Though I keep my head up
It's hard to stay strong
When next problem strikes
and you feel life's so wrong
------------

Yeah, today was rather uneventful...even though it was...evenful. In English we did definitions for Macbeth...which I'm excited about.We took a test over V7 chords in music theory...I took a nap. In Government we took notes. She's a really fun teacher, I'm going to enjoy her class. In band we played some nifty music. It was modern, so I liked it.

I copied music during 5th period for jazz band, I played some Gustav Holst music, it was good. Mr. Medford scared the pee out of me! He came in there (I left to door open) and said "I think I'm going to buy this music for us." I literally jumped up on the copy machine. It was sooo funny. He laughed at me and walked away. He scared me one time while I was sleeping, I didn't talk to him for a few minutes. I played on the merimba (sp?) during 6th period w/ Beth, it was fun. I was playing Faure melody (his Pavane) and she was improving a harmony part, it actually sounded pretty good.

In jazz band Vinnie just told us about how he got drunk at this gig he played on TV, it was really funny. Vinnie is one of those guys you should talk about anything with, and he wouldn't judge you. It'd be so cool to have him as an uncle...actually...I think I called him "uncle V" one time. He told me never to call him that again. Lol.

MYO was so boring tonight! I almost fell asleep. I really with I did Curb, it'd be so much more fun. Why? I'd get to see Sarah Todd and Hannah Tilton all the time...so I'd be in an amazing horn section, and I'd get to see all of my Goveror's school amigos. Oh well, my loss.

It made me so happy when I went to get my Chinese food tonight. I played a game with the lil Chinese girl, she's so cute. And the lil boy was playing games on some little toy. I <3 Asians.

it was a really good day..

Well there's a dreamer in my dreams,
Swing from the beams,
With a light shining off the snow.
Well there's a singer in my heart,
Burning up the charts,
With songs about things we all know.

I hate working!

woah...this is like myspace and xanga combined. weird.

...but a good weird. lol 

since ths site is really confusing i think i'll just post my songs and poems up here.

i really have no clue what exactly you do on here. oh well. lol

     So I am new to the whole internet blogging thing; however, i do sometimes like to express myself through the use of the English language. I feel personally that even a light grasp on the language of your country can help you in your everyday life.

      So today I realized that school actually depresses me, especially my school. Firstly, the school itself feels that because it is a Catholic(but more importantlly a private school) school it needs to make its simpler subjects in a sense harder than some of the honors or AP courses. Secondly, most of the rich kids(or richies) as i like to call them are ungrateful and rude. Finally, the girls at John Carroll are insanely hard to read and although the hottie ratio of guys to girls favors the boys(3girls:1guy) the girls just decide not to date anyone. I somewhat good looking, I try to be nice, I even have tried actually asking a couple of girls out... To my dismay I discovered the simple fact of the matter i go to a non-loose Catholic School. Now I do not mind a challenge but some of the girls are not even to be considered a challenge more like an insurmountable(spelling?) obstacle.

   Such is life...

♥ ♥ ♥
So nothings been going on.
I'm trying to get a job for West Side Story,
I signed up for Stage Manager
*crosses fingers*
but there are alot of
Older choir members
she might pick..
If I can't do that
I'll be a dresser again, or something.
You know what sucks,
when you have crushes.
Oiy. But it's fun.
I have about 2 1/2
&& none of them seem likely.
but it happens.

haha well yep, i've said what I had to say.

Let's make a scene♥
then blame it on our parents.

Today was a no good, terrible, horrible, very bad day... things happened that weren't even that big a deal, but I hadn't updated in a lllooooooooooooooonnngg while, so I thought I should...

I love everyone + wish I was in Omaha.

cXh

hello everyone,

(or the few ppl that r reading this. lol.)

well i just got my phusebox thing, and so i don't have ne pictures to put on it right now. but i prolly will soon. well i hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

<3,

lindsey

really upset & i don't know why.
emotions are raging,
confusion is making life miserable.
i just wanna get away.

<3 that song.

Mom and I got into a big ol' fight earlier. I said I was going to move out ((HA! Way to bluff)), she said she didn't care. I left and sat in my cold car for about ten minutes before coming back in to eat food she'd bought me. I ate, got on here, listened to music, calmed down, and now we're fine. Crazy how she and I work.

At first you may see clearly what God's will is-- the service of a friendship, the breaking off of a business relationship, or something you feel is distinctly God's will for you to do. But never act on impulse of that feeling.  If you do, you will cause difficult situations to arise which will take years to untangle. Wait for God's timing and He will do it without any heartache or disappointment.  When it is a question of the providential will of God, wait for God to move. -Oswald Chambers

I read that last night before going to bed. *Was hit by a ton of bricks*.

Oh yeah. . . I'm having severe issues with my phone. The sound won't work-- meaning, if you call, I can't hear you on the other side. If I call someone, I can't hear the ringing. If you leave a voicemail, I can't hear it. Text messaging IS working, so use that for right now. Or my house phone. If you need the number ((because like, no one has it)), then message me.

hey! well i am off to get our butts whooped by the basketball team that could put up a good fight against siegel's varsity!!

ok, guess what? my 2nd replacement ipod mini isn't working!!!! >.<

but on the plus side, I checked Drake Bell's message board and he left a message about how he's getting better. and he sounds really optimistic ^^ so w00t!

I know weird title. But it is all about to make sense, I hope.

So I own two pieces of clothing that make me look more attractive I suppose. One is a short teal and black school girl skirt that I bought on sale at Aeropostale for like 5 bucks (I was thinking about a particular person at that time and thought the skirt was cute), and the other is a pair of shiny black pants that I bought like two years ago cause they were cool looking. Anyway I wore the skirt one day and noticed the reactions I got. And later I was thinking about those pants I wore to school while a certain guy was still here.

I realized that I could turn more heads in that skirt than I ever did in my usual clothes. I understand that it is a short skirt and all, but the fact still remained that guys opened more doors for me and helped me with stuff  more often when I wore that skirt. Girls on the other hand sort of gave me remarkably dirty looks. I'm not extraordinarily attractive and I can admit that. In fact at the moment I look like crap at the moment cause I haven't slept much lately. But what I noticed was that aparantly showing more of my legs made me more attractive to people. ~shrugs~ I however feel rather skanky in it so I have yet to wear it for a whole day.

Like I said I have a pair of shiny black pants that I wore several times when a certain guy was still here. I used to get some pretty good reactions especially from him. They were sort of tight because my butt has gotten big (I know too much info) and they were very slick and glossy. I just thought they were cool, and I have a crazy sort of sense of style. But most people  (guys mainly) thought they looked good. Again guys opened doors for me and looked at me differently when I wore them.

The whole point of this was the fact that sometimes I think that people only notice me when I wear stuff like that. Which is part of the reason I don't wear those things very often. I just don't want that reason for people noticing me.

As a life-long WVian, I want to say that my heart truly goes out to the families of the 12 miners who were killed this week in Upshur County.  It is a tragedy that these men died doing their job, nobly trying to put food on the table by working unlike so many in our lovely state today.  My prayers are with you.  God's peace be with you.

Meanwhile, I have a bone to pick with national mass media.  I suddenly understand why all those so-called "backwoods hicks" want to be left alone by the outside world and why they are suspicious of outsiders.  I don't condone it, but I understand it.  I am apalled that the news media is actually pressuring the families--the already bereaved and distraught families--of the deceased miners to sue the mine company.  As if this state isn't sue happy enough as it is, first of all.  Has anyone noticed the exodus of doctors from our borders.

Secondly, anyone who has grown up in or near a mining town knows that it is a dangerous business.  It's right up there with deep-sea fishing.  You don't see the families of the victims depicted in "A Perfect Storm" suing the makers of the boat they used or the retailers of sea food that cause such businesses to be lucrative.  Those men knew what they were getting into when they signed up for the job.

As for the OSHA violations, it's the nature of the beast.  All mining companies receive scores of OSHA violations every year.  It's not a good thing, but it's a fact.  And it's not like they're not trying to fix them.  However, the deadlines they are given are just not realistic.

Furthermore, there are few other ways to obtain that coal.  And until someone comes up with a more or equally efficient way of mass producing energy, someone has to obtain that coal.  That, and as long as people like flipping a switch and turning on their light, or their television, or their computer.

Oh, and maybe this will change some people's tunes about mountain top removal.  I really see both sides of the story, because I LOVE the mountains in WV.  I fully intend to climb some of them this summer and thoroughly enjoy hiking on them.  But what mining companies do to the landscape is no worse than shopping centers. In fact, I'd rather it was the mining companies than the shopping centers, because the outlets and malls have more options for location than the mining companies.   They have to mine where there is coal. Shopping centers can be located anywhere.  How about some of those rat-infested former crack houses in Huntington, or some of the abandoned downtown buildings in Charleston? No parking?  Tear down one of those condemned buildings and add a parking garage--not a parking lot.

Those of you in the media: get your facts straight.  Live here before you cast aspersions and ill-got opinions.  And the last time I checked, journalists were supposed to be watchdogs informing the public--objectively--of what is going on.  Stop pressuring the families to sue.  If they feel the need to do so, believe me, they will.  But it is not your place as the reporters of happenings to decide how a situation is handled.  Leave that up to the public.  Keep your opinions to yourself.  That's why I got out of journalism.

With that, I'm putting my soapbox away. 

things are still pretty dang crazy. i dont know what the heck to think anymore. oh well.

got my hair cut today. poker night tonight, should be fun.

going back to school tomorow. dont really want to. well, in some ways i want to, but in alot i dont. oh well. i'll live.

Ok so I totally love my new job description... but oh my... i think my head might explode with information overload.  BUt hey i got to have Thai food with my friend Sid today.  THai food makes me smile really big!!!!

SO not only am I learning a new job, i am continuing much of what i did before as well as training a new staff member on the other aspects of my old job... Not good for this ADD brain but i think i am going to love doing what i am doing. 

I hope all of you Passion kids are having a great time. Thanks for the call reminding me of what i am missing.  That was nice... HAHA...

"I know, O Lord, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for a man to direct his steps.  Correct me, Lord, but only with justice-not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing."   --Jeremiah 10:23&24

be blessed...go with God!

SWING DANCING

When: This Saturday, January 7

Who: A special event with the Capitol Swing Big Band.

What: Group swing lessons (beginning and intermediate levels) are from 7:30-8:30, with dancing until 11:00.

Where: Living Word Community Church in Brentwood, TN

How much: $7.50, since they have live music.

How to get there: Get on I-65 South. Exit Old Hickory Boulevard (it will be the second exit option for that ramp; just take my word for it). Turn LEFT onto Franklin Road, which will be labelled as Franklin Pike. The church will be on your RIGHT, and is just before the 'Brentwood Country Club.' The gym (where the phenomenal dancing will be) is to the right and behind the main church building.

I'll be there, come hell or high water.  Will you?
