Friday: Hoedown/hayride. It was alright. Hayride was cold. Fire was hot. Marshmellows were yummy.

Saturday: Mom and I went to Target and Books-a-Million. Took a nap before Garrett picked me up for the MTSU game. I enjoyed this game more than any other this season, even though we lost. Then Mom and I went to Bath and Body Works and Hallmark. Bath and Body Works has a good marketing strategy... they suck you in with a coupon deal, and then you buy into all their other deals. Yeah, we went there to get some free lotion with the purchase of any item, but also ended up falling for "buy three, get one free".

Today: Church this morning, then Garrett's grandma's 80th birthday party. Now I'm trying to bear through A Raisin in the Sun for the second time of my life. The basic plot: people who whine about their lives and how much they hate it.

When I have more time I'll be sure to upload pics from Friday!

*EDIT* A conversation (condensed version)...
Graham: You're bad at life.
Garrett: That would make the opposite of Leslie who is, according to Gabe, good at life.
Graham: I'm ok at life.
Garrett: And Amy just spills things.
Me: Yeah I do.
Graham: I don't think my girlfriend does life... she just does her own thing.
Me: I think you're right.

i would like to meet a girl
that is so amazing
that i will learn to play guitar
so i can serenade her

i don't really want to go to school tomorrow.

pictures for the guy who turned 16 today!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STU! hope you have a great one
haha edited monday the 14th!!

haha happy birthday to you kk! hope you have great one & i hope you loved your locker!!

Well, I went to the Vandy vs. Kentucky game last night! It was pretty bad! I still can't believe Vandy lost to UK of all teams y UK! It was Jays last game! I never did get to say by to him but oh well1 I really hope he makes it to the NFL, but if not o well!! He was a great quarterback even if he did make stupid plays!

My break from xanga/phusebox wasn't helping, and it was just frustrating me, so I'm back (very) early.

Today is beautiful outside.  It doesn't feel like it should be November.  It's warm but breezy and the air is delicate and clear.  The trees are their usual faded green and gold with sporadic bursts of red and orange.  The grass is dying and on the wind is the sweet stink of rotting leaves.  Life is winding down, quieting, waiting for the winter, even as it's still warm as the early summer.  It's so lovely - so quiet, with a contaious peacefulness.

I've decided I'm going to marry a painter or a piano player.

last night was amazing...and so much freaking fun!!

look what happened!! i met pat summitt!! i was happy.



yeah...that's about it...for now at least...
mucho love!!
[becca]

hey,

 i just thought i would get a phuse box b/c i knew some people from church had one!! that's about it! so...yeah i may need some help so...i'm asking you for some tips!!

love ya,

sarah

i feel like i've been popped and deflated

i talked to shannon peterson the other day, it was nice.

sometimes i wish..... it was still going on. if i had really believed everyone that told me that life flies by, i probably would of done some things differently, but who lives in the past right.

some people think they know whats going on and why i act the way i do sometimes. but they dont ask why, they dont seem to truly care, assumptions are made, and thats not cool.

On Friday, I worked 1-6, grabbed dinner from Blue Coast, and watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Mom ((who feel asleep)), Jeff, and Jennifer, then went to bed at 9:40. Saturday, I worked from 8-7:30. Yeah, you heard me. Taevan is doing a car clinic today, and he wanted the place spotless. Working over wasn't all that bad, especially since we got paid for it, and one of the guys had music other than stuff on 105.9 playing.  Today, I woke up to the sound of rain, then had the glorious realization that I'm off of school AND work. Hallelujah, what a feeling. I went to church, ate lunch at Chef Wangs with Aunt Darlene, Nathan, and his friend Stephen, and now I'm here.

And what am I going to do on my day off?

LAUNDRY!

Aren't you all jealous.

I think there comes a time in everyone's life when they are just content. I am content. I love my friends, my life is going somewhat smoothly, and I couldn't really ask for more.....

And then you mess it up....

I messed it up

Friday night was SO much FREAKIN FUN! The Play went great, and I hung out with Emily.

Saturday was GREAT! Hung out with Emily, had a blast doing random and pointless things.... *here comes the point where I mess it up*

The Cast party... I am just not a "party" person... large groups sincerely scare me... and I got pissed off for some odd reason and took it out on Emily. Poor thing- even though what I said was completely true, I said it completely wrong and without a cool head.   UGH UGH UGH... then there was that awkward- I know your mad but we are both going to pretend everything is OK!!

Yikes.

I love her, she's my best friend. I hope she knows that. And we both need to work on our ISSUES/PROBLEMS together.

wow...COLLEGE is AMAZING..Last night was probably one of the best nights, I have had all year.....I love my gurls...emily, candace and brittany...and you cant forget our boys...well thats all I have to say about that..School is going good I guess...Its almost over...We have like less than 2 weeks left I think and then exams...I got good news I dont have to write my 4th english paper and we dont have an exam in there...well this was probably very pointless...but I just wanted to say LIFE is going GREAT>now I am going to catch up on sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when something is deemed a "spree", there is usually 3 of whatever it is right?If im on an injury spree, and ive only been hurt twice,(see below for second injury)am i destined to mutilate myself again in some freak kitchen accident???? funny thing is, i might be setting a trend, i hurt myself quite badly 3 TIMES, 10 years ago. maybe every 10 years, i **** myself up a little more.

(second injury)-opening aluminum can lid, slid and gashed my middle finger very deep, deep enough to be stiched, but i didnt feel like it.
later

well hey i did it.. yay-rah

anyway.. i go into training today. i'm excited!! mooooney =D

So, I post this every once in a while to provoke some feedback for PhuseBox...

So, what are the things that need to change on PhuseBox? What would make it better? What do you like? What annoys you? What would you like to see on the site?... etc.

Here is your chance to voice any ideas to make things bettre or anything that needs to be changed on PhuseBox... Have at it... remark if you read...

One of the readings in church today was a parable from Matthew 25:14. I totally don't get what I am supposed to take from that scripture. The way I see it, it's pretty bleak, so I must be missing something. Anyone wanna help a girl out? :)

edit to yesterday:
i also found out that Anastasia's on the square now sells guys' clothes! they're "trying out their customers" too see what kind of things and sizes they need to get in, so i have to go back a lot. ^_^ the (hot) guy that was working was really nice <3

anyway... i'm kinda confused... cause the person i thought ditched me doesn't know that they did. so maybe they didn't... and i saw her today, and it was weird... cause like, i had gotten mad at her, and she didn't know why... i dunno. it'll prolly be one of those things that we talk about and then it'll just be like it never even happened.

ah well. love to my nickles.

My cousin's wedding was last night.

It was really cute..my feet hurt really bad by the end though.
Me and livvy had to dress up, which was crap,
but it wasn't too bad,
we ended up going to Kroger and running around,
just cause we thought it was funny cause we sounded like horses.
haha. School tomorrow...kinda lookin forward to it(weird right?)

I didn't feel like smiling..haha
There is a kid on Figure it out with a mullet.
I love old school Nickolodean.
Okay well that's about it...
here is a picture of my feet:

Ow.

well another day... probably watch more movies today...but hey well i have to go cuz i am probably about to leave sooooo yeah i'll update later

            meg

**EDIT**

well today was awesome got more shit today...got new converses...lol they look like bees lol.... yes yellow and black.... lol well thats me tho and some new shirts and jeans and and..... some undershirts.... and a  book^_^

hello  i just got this thing so give me a couple of days and i will have it all set up

Hey yal Im happy to say I have a new sister- in-law and a whole new family. And my brother and Dovota are really happy. Great wedding. they are in the Deminacin Republic ( misspelled it but oh well dont matter they're there thats what matters) but well g2g to bed to try to go to church tomoorrow bye

So yea, I woke up this morning, put on my new shirt

and planned out my day; go to drama practice, then go to cool springs and buy some neat stuff, and do all of it while listening to sexy music. Well as I was driving to drama practice. I was listening to some sexy music and then a sneeze came upon me. [so when I sneeze, its big, and I sneeze out of my mouth because I wont let it out of my nose, and I close my eyes the whole time] So I sneezed, and heard a huge pop and crunch sound, I open my eyes and and I'm on the curb/sidewalk going down siegel road. I flip out. So I pull away fast and as I drive I heard this horrid crunching sound. So I pulled into the middle lane to see the damage, I was expecting some scratches on the hubcap. I mean its not the first time someone has hit a curb. But no...It looked as though someone had took a knife and ripped my tire apart. It was completely shredded. I was rollin on pure rim. And yea, it was a sneeze, not my fault [but while we're mentioning the sneeze....WTF!!!! I mean come on, a freaking sneeze!!!] but what makes it worse is that my "stepdad" had bought me my new tires a few months ago. Bleh, I felt horrible. So yea, He came and gave me his truck and he told me to go on to practice and he would put on the spare and drive it home. So after practice. My mom is waiting by my car at the end of siegel road. The spare tire had been flat, and thats as far as it got. Damn. *sigh* so a tow truck came and towed it the whole one and half miles home.

But yea, I still went to cool springs with Andrea. Who is only a friend.

Hah, I love this picture. She reminds me of a bunny.

We ate at the food court, and watched people, and had very good conversation, and  I enjoyed it.

We ate noodles.

Then we had to book it to make an appearance at every store that I wanted to go to. We stopped by Express where my Erika will be working soon. I was very disappointed. I only found two items. And I desperately needed winter clothes. The last ten minutes was like a movie, it was Andrea's mad dash to get ice cream.

 I then came home, talked with my mom, and I'm going to get some sleep.

I know its not too ghetto.

You know those people who seem happy enough to see you when they see you, but never really make the effort to do that?  Like if you happen to be there with the group, that's well and good, but you'll never be quite as close as the other seven people in the room, and it's apparent.  Like you're asked along because it's nice, or you're good for a laugh, or it serves some purpose other than pure company.  And you wax between being really disgusted by such a phenomenon, and making plans to see these people again.  Kind of like bulimia, what with the bing(e)ing and purging and all.

I'm going to bed.  No idea where this spike of depression came from, but I'm sure it's nothing eight hours of sleep can't distract from.  Never is, after all.

She leads the most charmed of lives
She dazzles and astounds.
But stands, when audience has gone,
In figures hunched, eyes to the ground.

She has no major problems --
Or none to which she will admit.
Her smiling laughs will fog the mind.
That glass slipper's a narrow fit.

Okay, off to make good on that eight hour distraction.  But dernit if I can't leave a post 100% angsty.  It's like I'm OCD regarding this, or something.  Merde.  Okay, here we go.... Verse 1 of Amish Paradise.  Watch and be amazingly amused, foo'.

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain,
I take a look at my wife and realize she’s very plain,
But that’s just perfect for an Amish like me.
You know I shun fancy things like electricity.
At 4:30 in the morning I’m milkin’ cows,
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... Fool.
And I’ve been milkin’ and plowin’ so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone.
I’m a man of the land, I’m into discipline.
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin,
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine,
Then tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1699.

Teehee.  I love it. 

So Im all dressed up with nowhere to go! Plans for the evening fell apart.

Life is slow at the moment which is a great blessing.

I finished my application to Spring Lake Ranch in Vermont today so I just have to mail it out and then arrange a flight up there for a on-site interview to get on staff!

Boredom strikes!

i only called him about
a thousand times, today...

so my first day back to work for the Holidays was grand. i decided that i, in fact, do like working at Hot Topic, even if i don't always fit in there.

it was super: this woman, maybe in her mid- to late-40s came in with her husband. she was getting ready to go see Gwen Stefani in december (which i REALLY wanna go to) and she wanted a hot outfit to wear! it was super! so we hooked her up with this low-cut white-and-black polkadot shirt with a lacy collar, a black, just-above-the-knee skirt, these HOT ASS pumps with lace and a bow (they're EXTREMELY Gwen) and these lace gloves. she said she's gonna come back for accessories. she was THE coolest old lady i've ever met!! and i told her that if i go see Gwen and if i see her, i'll hollar. ^_^

AND i found out that we now carry guys' XS!!! so i tried on a blazer... and it was PERFECT!!  YESSSSS!

so... i had a good day. although, i didn't get my hair cut, cause Timm wasn't working today... =\  ah, well.

<3

Listen to this...it's really funny!!
The Llama Song

welp..... life's good...... what can i say.......
Watchin Laguna Beach... don't really know why....
welp.... how are you guys????

oh my gosh...I've been so busy. I haven't been on the computer in a week. My sister is on constatly so i almost never get on anyway.....

.....between dance practice, hanging out with my youth group, school, homework, and who knows what else, i barely have time for anything else. Anyway, I'm having a great time with JV Dance and everything...It's so much fun. I've made eight new wonderful friends. I went to my first highschool party at one of their houses... They're great. Our choreographer is cool too. She's got a cool new dance that we may get to do at one of the pep rallys...AWSOME

Love You Guys,

Lizz

am i wrong to say that everyone can be overjoyed, it's just the act of finding it?

(( i'd have to say life is pretty sweet ))

Have you ever had a friend who is near and dear to your heart really hurt your feelings? Have you ever left someone messages only to never receive a response? Have you ever been hurt that they were spending time with other friends, but not taking the time to spend with you? And then that hurt is escalated by the knowledge that they are aware you are moving across the country but still take no steps to contact you back.

I wrote a letter to someone like this who I love dearly in class on Monday as part of an activity. I expressed my feelings of hurt and anger. After I wrote my letter to this person, I felt a lot better and not so angry anymore. I am sure they have their own reasons for the way things have turned out and the fact that they still have not contacted me.

But then I came home and changed my clothes and it hit me like a ton of bricks. That is how I have been in my relationship with God. I keep telling him I am going to "call" but then I don't. I make time for everyone else but not for Him. God has been leaving me all these messages but instead of calling Him right back, I erase the message and tell myself, "I'll get back to Him later." But then I don't. I just let it go until it seems I've forgot and don't care about Him. I cannot even imagine the hurt that He feels when His children's hearts are far from Him.

That's a really cheesy metaphor, but it just had a profound impact on me this week.

We've gone a month without a win.

That is..until today.

Lackluster? Yeah.
Should've been a blowout? Probably.
Boring? You're kidding me, right?

20-16. We're 4-5 and if we win our last two games, we'll be bowl eligible..which is something we're fighting for no matter if we like having to fight for it or not. Let's recap this year up until this point.

Got worried by UAB, won anyway.
Put up a fight against Florida in The Swamp. Lost valianly.
Campus wide riot after the 30-27 comeback OT win over LSU.
Lackluster win over Ole Miss. 3-1 is good, right?
Put up a decently good fight against Georgia. Lost anyway.
Defensive battle on the Third Saturday in October. 6-3 loss on last second field goal.
The most hated man in Tennessee: Steve Spurrier, leads S. Carolina to a 16-15 win. Lost 3 straight, first time under Fulmer.
Pridefully lost against Norte dame 41-21. Very proud of the boys..really. 4 straight losses now.
Homecoming week: Walking on Memphis. Nothing special, just a 20-16 win.

So here we sit. 2 weeks left in our season we all wish to forget but won't because it will stick like a thorn in our side until we prove (next year) we're worthy of being called a championship contender.

Is 4-5 alright with me? Not a chance in..yeah..not a chance.

Will I take 6-5 and a trip to the Music City Bowl?

At this point, I'll take anything with the word Bowl on the end of it. That..

..and a few more wins. :-)

Ok, I was just tired of seeing that stupid North Texas State Fair entry at the top, so I'm entering this just to push that one down until I can think of something good to put up here.

-out

omgosh... i had the WORST time @ the movie.. i didnt even talk to thomas.. omgosh we have NOTHING in common.. n i dont know what to say to him.. everytime he said something to me.. i was just like "yeah..." n then i would talk to somebody else... omgosh... then my dad was like so who was that guy?? i was just like no one dad.. trust me NO ONE.. theres nothing.. now i know how casey felt about ryan.. he was annoying n would stop talking to her.. well thomas.... we just dont talk.. omgosh.. that is all i have to say about him.. n then everyone w/ a camera phone where taking pics of me since they never see me.. n he tried.. n thank GOD FOR COURTNEY!! she is my new hero!! she would help me cover up my face so HE couldnt take a pic of me.. omgosh..

It's Saturday night and i'm at home...i'm kinda tired but then i can't sleep. I'm just hoping that someone will call so i won't feel so out of it. Do you ever just really need to talk to someone but everyone is busy? Oh well...i guess i'll watch t.v.

Alright. You guy's will not believe it, but UK actually won a football game today! I know, I can't believe it either. Ya know what, we might actually have a chance at going to a Bowl Game! ( That is if we beat both Georgia and Tennesse.) But I seriously doubt that would ever happen. But ya know it was an accomplishment today because that was pretty much the only Road SEC Win Kentucky has ever had. So, ya know today wasn't to bad for me.

Do you know the joy of the simple things in life??  I try to enjoy them as often as possible!  I'm going to have a list on here of some of the simple things I enjoy...I want you guys to leave a comment or comments with some of the simple things you enjoy...Thanksgiving is coming up you know!

Finding a piece of candy corn that is entirely white...since white is the best part!

Having a slumber party...and being in college!

Being able to sit on the couch with your parents.

Being able to call someone to let them know it's Ryan Gosling's birthday and they don't think you're wierd!

Taking a BATH!

Eating lunch with your grandmother and best friend!

Coloring!

Magnets!

LSU.

i really having nothing to say

Woohoo!  I have a date tonight with Jeremy.  Yay!  He's bringing me dinner and I got a movie.  I have KTA tomorrow and should go to bed really early tonight but I'd like to spend some time with Jeremy.  And I've cancelled a couple of times on him this week because of the show so I don't want to cancel again.  Plus he just called me and he's having a horrible day.  So maybe I can brighten up his day a little.  Maybe...

I haven't really written a real entry in awhile. You know one that actually is over 4 lines or isn't a quote or a picture.  So for everyone's enjoyment(or pain) I will write a real live breathing( though entries don't breathe) entry.

This week everything has  gone in very slow motion. I suppose it is due to Cross Country being over. It is the oddest feeling for me. Every year around this time, I am looking forward towards the next year and running with my friends(though they feel more like family, one big fat italian family), There is no next year, well not with Siegel. It is gone, four years of running long distance is over. This year was by the far the most amazing. I did so many silly things; getting lost in the woods, getting lost at Barfield, well getting lost pretty much everywhere. I got closer to people. I miss so badly my afternoon talks with Nicky, Anne, and Malorie. Well, this was if I was able to talk while I was running. I love Siegel Cross Country, and it feels like I got dumped by a longtime boyfriend. Isn't this sad, the closet feeling I have ever been to having a boyfriend is having Cross Country.

Track starts beginning of the next year. I can only count the days.

I seem to be very focus this year. I really don't know where this new sense of being older has come from. I feel like I have grown up, but I don't why. Maybe, I finally ready to go college, all I have to worry about is learning to do the wash.

Cara

I'm not sure exactly why, but some of yall were like "yea, you're a jerk for ending it so soon" I don't know if you were joking, but we've been going out for 3 & 1/2 years.
 

So we went to Logan's where of course I got fried chicken and macaroni and cheese--what do you expect me to get?--and the Little Jew made so fun fork art so here it is:

That picture was taken by the Little Jew.


That one was taken by Dani Westerman.  It's a better pic!! haha!!
I'm not really sure what the thing on the fork is.  I'm guessing its either a fry of chicken.  probably chicken...

yeay. im go glad i get to go tonight!! i dont even know what we're seeing.. lol.. just know that i need to be there around 7:0o.. lol.. aww i feel so bad for JJ.. his cat died yesturday... him n kayla where crying n i was just kinda bummed out for a bit... buts i guess he's fine now.. since there ganna buy him ANOTHER one.. gosh.. think he can have enough pets?? 2 dogs and another cat?? too much already for me.. lol.. wow alots been happening lately.. uhh.. i kinda am excited to see ______ but yet its like... i kinda dont wanna see him cause i just like talking and flirting.. but i kinda... idk.. life is so confussing.. and has so much DRAMA involed... wow.. too much on my mind.. maybe ill update a little later!!

Here's something I wrote guys.. Tell me what you think..

-------------------------
'Jimmy Bellan'

Here goes the story,
Watch close as it unfolds...
A road off in the distance,
And where it goes, well nobody knows..
New discovery, or new existence,
Well, it's been waitin' there all along...
Been waitin' a long time, and it's come...
Its moment's come, and gone..

Jimmy Bellan's gone gun-ho,
Blowin' holes
In old six-four - (Yeah)
Jimmy Bellan's gone gun-ho
Blowin' holes
In old six-four

Well, Left here on a long trip,
Been gone a very long time..
Quite sure, I'm not the same...
But nothing is wrong inside...
See my homefront in the distance,
It's really sparklin' in my eyes...
I feel a thought brewin' my mind...
Let's burn this town of mine..

Jimmy Bellan's gone gun-ho,
Blowin' holes
In a quarter-inch skull - (Yeah)
Jimmy Bellan's gone gun-ho
Blowin' holes
In a quarter-inch skull

My brain's fried from bloodshed,
What's done, it don't feel wrong...
I feel like I'm the only one,
But I've felt like this way all along..
"What home to come back to?!
Son, don't you see what you have done?"
I look up, I say, Officer.....
I know I had some fun..

Jimmy Bellan's gone gun-ho
Kid went crazy
When he came back home
Jimmy Bellan's gone gun-ho
Kid went crazy
When he came back home

Jimmy Bellan's gone gun-ho
Jimmy Bellan's gone gun-ho
Jimmy Bellan has gone gun-ho
Kid's gone crazy
And he shouldna come home......

is there anything to get me out of this sophmore slump?

Ayu's music video for her new song Bold & Delicious premiered in Japan yesterday! ^^ w00t! you can watch it here: http://s26.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3TL6UTT69MGRW365W5GKGEKH85 please check it out! itz amazing! ^^

here's a sneek pic from it:

 

i think she shot it in New York. which makes me even more excited! lol

anyho, still no news on what we're doing for the spring musical... but we know Richard won't be there so we're getting a knew choreographer...

well,  i should finish planning my birthday party today so i can give invitations out at church tomorrow. i do kno that it'll be Nov. 20th, after church we'll go out to eat at Camino Real or sumthin and then go somewhere that'll fit at least 30 ppl (call me if you have any ideas cuz my house is too small) and have cake and hang out and have fun! ^^

but i need you guys to pray for me cuz i'm having some issues w/ myself lately... i'll be ok but i could use ur prayers! thanx! ^^

...not my real life!  yeah, that's exactly what i was thinkin last night as the events unfolded.

so last night was interesting...but really fun.  took jessica and jasmin to a christian hip hop concert in the bronx.  got there mad early and ended up helping set up.  which the girls absolutely loved wearing the backstage passes and getting to talk with cross movement (that's one of the groups from the night.)  and that's really all that needs to be said about the evening for now :)

I ust filled out a survey for the new student center they'll be building at MTSU. . .I don't think they'll like my answers since i'm *kinda* living off campus this semester. . .

but(for anna) I said I'd definetly eat at panera bread if it were on campus!

it all makes sense now. castro had JFK killed, and the government knows it. they just didnt do anything because if they did we would of started WWIII with russia. even until this day they would come after us if we invaded cuba on a major extent.

about to go to the game, it'll be fun. going to a play tonight, that'll be cool.

piece

You didn't hear about this from me, and I didn't hear about this from anyone else...   CLICK.

Love Through Christ!
~Rachel~

hey all

well you guys life has been going awesome and it's been pretty cool.not to much has happened but still it's awesome all the same.

you know the little things that we take so much for granted are the things in the end that we need the most in our lives.

im graduating this year and that scares but at the same time it's soo exciting.but what am i taking with me?i just don't know anymore.i wish life was simple again like life was when you where little and everything just got solved by a game or a do over.i don't understand why life gets so difficult sometimes.life was so much better when things where easy.but i guess it's all part of growing up.

talk to you guys later.....

God Bless

...Leah...

I'm going to Miss Nicole's Sweet 16 today and that should be some awesome fun!! Gotta love the girl..seriously.

Ended up not playing our game against Santa Fe. Our schedule is so messed up. This is the third time we've had to cancel a game. The sad thing is I was really pumped up and ready to play.

So I have to make a really big decision. It's whether I want to go to Africa or back to Asia this summer. I really loved Asia and I felt that my team did alot work, but I've heard wonderful things about Africa. I need alotta prayer about this one. Also my dad went to the doctor this morning and my mom just called and he had to go to the emergency room. That's another thing to pray for. These past 2 weeks I've been really stressed. Hopefully I'll be able to get destressed over Thanksgiving. I can't wait for Thanksgiving!!!

Yep can't wait =)

Now what?


.....what do I do now?

happy birthday to me!!

i'm 18 today!

Jump.

[Mother may I?.]

Today is one of those days. One of those days where endless emotion just came sweeping through me and is swirling around inside of me. On the surface, you cannot see much. Just that distant glazed over look in my eye, the vague expression on my face, and that quiet voice that provokes a string of, "what's wrong?" from everyone.

Nothing's wrong. I've just got things on my mind. And I'm brewing in the silence of my own personal chaos. I find it somewhat comforting. I'm in my own world. Thinking about things I have learned lately.

I've learned that there are plenty of things in life that I'm better off simply not reacting to. But I always seem to fall victim to my short temper, and it always ends up steering me in a backwards direction. I need to learn to hold my tongue. I've picked up on when it becomes necessary to separate myself from almost any situation, which is a good thing. People who meant everything to me in a time which seems like forever ago, seem to mean less to me now. Well, no. That is a lie. I'm pretty sure it is me that means little to them. and as much as that is difficult to accept, I've learned to respect the distance placed between us

and I pray that it never fades.

Am I a jerk?
***edit***
I broke up with Linda... For good

I just signed up for phuse, thanx to my friend chad, who hasn't accepted my friend req. yet. This is the first of what is to be few and far between blog entries. I can't be bothered with writing stuff down.

ehh for the last week I've been grounded for breaking curfew, it truly sux but oh well, I can get some stuff done that i've been meaning to do.

Halloween was totally awesome! The most fun I've had in a while man.

And I am happy with my class ring..it looks the way I wanted it to be, but if I ever get another fancy ring, you bet your bottom dollar I'm going to Wal Mart instead of Jostens..400 bucks?! oh well...

Everybody have a good weekend....

So, i finally got my new Tat2 yesterday.  It was way more painful this time.  It says

JESUS CHRIST  FOLLOW ME

guys. so much has been going on this week. so many ups and downs and what nots. lol well i guess its only neceassary (sp) for me to rant about the predators in my first paragraph:

HAT TRICK?!
sullivan made his second hat trick has a predator last thursday night aganist the stars in a 5-3 win. boom. it was pretty sweet. jordan summed all his goals up pretty well. "that was a goal scorers' goal." i like it. but i mean erat is on fire. were doing pretty excellent right now. we rally alot, we were talking about how teams around the league have had games like 9-1, 8-, 6-0. and how we've had to pretty much kill ourselves every game for a win, and i like that about us. listen to this stat. dallas was 77-0, after leading after two periods. lol so of course we had to end that statistic. we own the nhl.

work was pretty cool last night. im glad i didnt have to work the late shift. because i dont know, people are insane, i thought i left all the fifth grade drama behind but it seems to find you again, if youre theyre as much as me i guess. lol. but i laid down the line, clooose call. im going to have to give some props to sean. whose become a regular at the rink. lol.

well the car issue. bleh, i got an estimate on the damages, and well it doesnt look pretty. for now im just going to get the mirror fixed, and roll around with it busted up, as much as that kills me, i cant comprehend that money. it sucks. but im in a good mood. and i know why this time.

so the predators play at home tonight aganist the blues, and its not televized of course. lol so im looking into some other things. i work till 3 today though. so everyone take it easy. do you all realize how close we are to getting out for Christmas break? its crazy.

It's going to be a good day.

James Blunt is amazing.

"you're beautiful"
 

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

THINGS I WANT TO DO OR TO HAPPEN BEFORE I DIE:
-Get married to a foreign or northern guy and have a family cause thats my standard (I so doubt that will happen)
-Go to some of Europe and South America
-Get to live in New York City
-Go on a Road Trip (with someone special)
-Go to a Rave or a Foam Room (I heard they were fun)
-Dance In The Rain (I live for romance)
-Be Happy For A Straight Week (Never Have Been)
-Go to a Drive In (with someone special)

I thought the Hoedown was just a blast indeed! Props to whoever's idea it was. I always enjoy making a complete fool of myself, especially dancin'. Definitely check out some of the other pics from the hoedown!!!

So honestly, I'm struggling tonight. I have a major self-worth problem to tell the truth. Somedays I just really hate who I am and I really hate that I try to be someone else. I don't typically bring this on myself, it is typically brought on by my friends. Because somedays I love my friends, and other days I wonder if they just pretend to be my friends for my sake. So yeah I'm struggling tonight. I just want to feel loved. And this would be one of the nights that I don't.
Lord, teach me to not desire the world's approval and affection, but only Yours. Because You love me like no one else ever can, and in my heart, I know that's good enough for me. Just help me remember.
Ok just thought I would share the depths of my heart with phusebox land tonight, because I usually don't share the depths of my heart with anyone. That's what's in my heart tonight.
peace to one and all

Not something to complain about. . .everyone wishes for youth.

but like. . .I seem to attract older people, this is not a general "i attract older guys" type thing, more of, I have friends in general that are older than me. . .

this always causes me to feel like the baby of the group when age is brought up. . .

which is almost strange. . .because with my family. I'm the oldest. . .could this be the cause of me attracting older peers?

basically the guy I like right now or, "is in my life" right now, is 23. . .and thought 19 and 23 is not a massive age gap. . .I have a feeling he thought I was older.

this post had no point. except to tell you that I like a 23 year old, and I think he likes me back. and I only have 2 months left. . .causes for issues

oh, nathan, I enjoy the new toolbar. a lot.

so. overall, today has been pretty darn good. kinda blah, but nice. school tends to be a bit disheartening. but that's ok. i'm really starting to like school. like, i even kinda enjoy my classes. I'm already involved in more clubs, like Model U.N. and applied for Key Club. but i don't know if i got in yet. i'm really excited about how my life's going right now. i'm still working on some things, but i am really growing. now all i need is to lose 80 pounds and i'll be fine. j/k. pretty sure life can be sxtra ironic sometimes. Fall Retreat was kinda that way for me. oh the lost opportunities. but even in the so-called lost opportunities, i can see that God protected me in those times. And the irony actually boosted my self-esteem. so after next Sunday, i will officially be a Delta Beta Sigma member, if i can just pass the dern Constitution test. but i'm really excited about the fact that it is almost over. Basketball season is about to start, which is fun. i miss friday night football, but w/e. my double detention was pretty freakin hilarious. like for instance, i'm sittin in there, and there's this one kid who keeps mouthin off to the teachers. now normally, i would just find that annoying. but the teacher is not a very nice lady, so it was pretty funny. so she told this kid that if he made one more sound, she would kick him out, which means another detention. so right as she turned around, he went "AAAAHHHH" and we all started dying laughing. it was great. but i never felt more outta place. oh well. Bruce has really been on my mind lately. i dunno why. i think maybe it's just the Fall-ness. and the fact the me and this guy have become good friends kinda reminds me of him alot. So like yeah. life's goin aight. i'm currently babysitting the most awesome kids in the world, Alyssa, Travis, and baby Clayton, whom i LOVE! they are all so cool and sweet...such a breath of fresh air from the other kids i babysit. it kinda makes me laugh to think of what a nerd i am. my friday night is spent eating dinner w/ my family, doing laundry, and then babysitting. alot of my friends are out drinking. but i relish my nerd-dom. at least i don't have any regrets. anyways. yeah. i'm feelin good. much love to all of you! ---Cari

Song of the Day: "Heard Em Say" --Kanye West

p.s.---Anita burned me the new Kanye West CD, Late Registration, and i love it...i only wish it were edited....Quote of the Day: "Hmm, remember that?
Eating all of our cereal with forks because we wanted to save the milk, do you remember that? Hmm? Do you remember all those Christmases when your Mama walked in the room and pretended she was the tree, huh? Remember that?" ---Skit #3 --Kanye... dang....i love my school.

So yeah, I have 1709 dollars left over from scholarships after my first semester in college.  Freaking owned.  Not to mention that means that I'll probably have around 3400 left over after my first year, and that money, my friends, shall go to my next three years, when things aren't as generous.  It is quite awesome to know that if I keep my grades up, I'll only have to work for barely any money at all in comparison to the thousands of dollars it takes to go to school here at Lee.  But yeah, to people like Paul, be good students.  It means money money money !

and i think im going into that state.
where i fake everything
and i smile and pretend
and i swear to you i should get an oscar
i think this will be the scene in the movie
where my mom has to take me to the doctor
because i need to save myself.
but then again
im happier than anything
and i feel sempiternal
wow. uhhhh. lol

so i want lots of things.. mehhhh

i hate friday nights

with nothing to do

I may end up in Juvenile in the next few days.
I'm not in a good attitude kind of state,
and my mom is a phsyco.
I need to get out of my house,
but i have very little chance of having a ride anywhere(sucks right?)
so pretty sure someone either needs to come get me or something..
o well...i have a wedding tomorrow afternoon.(ick)
but yeah, that's about all.


I know, i have the talent of drawing in sand...

I didn't know Kyle Lake, pastor of UBC, Waco, TX (David Crowder's church) but have been deeply grieved by his tragic death - electrocution in baptismal waters, the morning of Oct. 30, 2005. Story

Kyle Lake, Ben Dudley, David Crowder (Jan. 2005)

Found this at Christianity Today:

"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28 NRSV

The New American Standard translates Romans 8:28 in this way: "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" (emphasis mine). In other words, the passage has a different feel because, in the verse, God has been placed before "all things," rather than "all things" being placed before God.

"Good" does not always mean "good" by our standards. Instead, "good" by God's standards has to do with the continual process of becoming a learner of Christ where our lives are being formed into people of humility, compassion, self-control, respect, patience, contentment, etc. It has to do with learning the very best way to live. If we open our eyes and our hearts during the most difficult times in our lives, then even in those times, God can bring about some of the most beautiful things within and around us.

So in light of chapter 8, I would interpret Romans 8:28 as saying this: "Disappointment, failure, and suffering are simply facts of life. But for those who are actively following God, He can turn disappointment and tragedy into new life."

from Understanding God's Will: How to Hack the Equation Without Formulas (Relevant, 2004) by Kyle Lake.

Manuscript of the sermon Kyle was to deliver that morning:

I think God is saying to each of us, "Abandon your plans of escape. And Be where you are. Plant gardens and live and live well." I don't know what your planting gardens may look like but let me end there by trying to provide a glimpse into what that may be like: 

Live. And Live Well.

BREATHE. Breathe in and Breathe deeply.
Be PRESENT. Do not be past.
Do not be future. Be now.

On a crystal clear, breezy 70 degree day, roll down the windows and FEEL the wind against your skin. Feel the warmth of the sun.

If you run, then allow those first few breaths on a cool Autumn day to FREEZE your lungs and do not just be alarmed, be ALIVE.

Get knee-deep in a novel and LOSE track of time.

If you bike, pedal HARD… and if you crash then crash well.

Feel the SATISFACTION of a job well done—a paper well-written, a project thoroughly completed, a play well-performed.

If you must wipe the snot from your 3-year old's nose, don't be disgusted if the Kleenex didn't catch it all… because soon he'll be wiping his own.

If you've recently experienced loss, then GRIEVE. And Grieve well.

At the table with friends and family, LAUGH.
If you're eating and laughing at the same time, then might as well laugh until you puke.
And if you eat, then SMELL.
The aromas are not impediments to your day. Steak on the grill, coffee beans freshly ground, cookies in the oven.
And TASTE. Taste every ounce of flavor. Taste every ounce of friendship.

Taste every ounce of Life. Because-it-is-most-definitely-a-Gift.

yup, my computer is back.  and it is still as slow as crap. so we are ganna get a new one, and we need some suggestions of some good ones. so lets here it!

so tonight is gonna be fun. <3

Abbi's over and we're gonna go to Subway with Carissa later, and then to Starbucks to meet Carly... then to the play at Riverdale! ^_^
