Before that day, I have never been in a similar situation. Standing there, I didn’t even remember a time when I actually rode one…except for those kiddy rides that were not scary at all. Believe me when I say that it was not as scary, as high, or as monstrous as the one that stood right before me, casting a big shadow over my face.

 

Despite my fear I had to go. I knew I did. The others were counting on me, so in my quiet mind I harbored all my anxious thoughts. I couldn’t back out, I couldn’t be a chicken.  

 

But it looks so scary, I tell myself. How am I going to ride that? It would be best to get out while I can. 

 

I told myself so many things that before I knew it I was next in line. I gulped real hard and walked up taking my seat and fastening the bar before me. My heart was pounding by then. I felt as if everyone could hear the beatings of my heart.  

 

Suddenly, the cart began to move, ever so slowly, almost like a snail. I remember wanting it to go fast, just for the sake of getting it over with. Alas, though, it didn’t change anything as it crept up and up, higher and higher into the sky.  My hold on the bars tightened and I shut my eyes praying to God to spare my life, praying that I wouldn’t die. I was sure that I would. Finally the cart slows down even more and with my eyes still closed I know it is coming.

  

WHOOSH— the cart flew down and jerked my body left and right, side to side, going up and down. I screamed at the top of my lungs, and now shouted my prayer to God, to spare me. I went faster and faster and then before I knew it, the cart began to slow down. I opened, my eyes and then as the cart finally stopped, only one feeling came to me…relief.

 

I had concurred the roller coaster.

Hope you enjoyed the little writing thing. I was bored and thought I'd write about my experience riding "Goliath" at SixFlags. (:

Today was hard... my uncle luke got buried.. :( i sad my goodbye.. i know where he is hes in heaven!!! Then shortly after that i walked up the hill were my poppy is buried .. my grandmas husband my moms dad... i went to paiges grave.. and broke down . i was soo sad her grave is soo pretty... her stone thing has a picture of her of her on it.... i coulnt stop crying it was really hard on me.. i love her soo much.. :( after that we went to her house... and i hug her mom and sis... we talk for a while... keep praying for me and my family we are leaving tomarrow from here to go to alabama to go see my aunt.. she passed away... pray for me. 

It’s so hard these days, to keep my chin up and smile, to pretend the distance isn’t killing me. Because it is. It’s driving me crazy all the time. I miss him, and I can’t change the fact that we are 567 miles apart. And yes I’ve calculated the distance. It’s not that far, but it feels like he is on the other side of the world. He’s coming to visit in October, or at least that’s the plan as of now, but that’s months away. It hurts. It hurts so damn much, and I can’t show it.

If I show it, people doubt, and people question. And I don’t want that. I can’t stand it when people constantly question him and our relationship. I swear, I’m so sick of people asking me whether I believe he’s true, because if I didn’t why would I stick with him for over two years. And I’m tired of being told that I need to find a guy in this state. I have a guy, and I love him. Distance or no distance, I love him, and I’m going to wait for him. Why can’t people just have a little faith and let things be?

We were in Sunday School when somone said that Evan Almighty is making fun of God. I kind of agree, but I also kind of like the movies. So I wanted to know what you guys think. Do you think it's just a harmless movie for enjoyment, or is it mocking our God?

the title doesn't really have much to do with the post...but i like these...so read them.  tehe...i like number 8

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.

FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.

SIX.. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.

EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.

NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.

TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.

TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.

THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"

FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

FIFTEEN. Say "God bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.

SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson .

SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.

EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.

TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

A mousetrap, placed on top of your alarm clock,

will prevent you from rolling over and going back to

sleep after you hit the snooze button.

 

Daily Thought: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES , NOT REALLY GOOD FOR

ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

 

 

I thought these two comments were pretty funny.

Have you ever felt like as soon as summer hits your whole active/non-active schedule is thrown off balance? Like, you can sit in school all day and not be that bored, but when you're at home for more than five minutes you go crazy wanting to do something. Anything at all. And you CAN'T sleep! No matter how hard you try you keep getting up to check your e-mails or instant message. Even when you know everyone else has been alseep long ago. (Except not really. Well at least not my friends anyway.) This is also probably the reason a lot of us sleep until noon during the summer. You also can never get full. I'm always hungry and looking for something to eat. And why does it seem like there is never anything to watch on TV during the day? (Well, it might be that I still watch Disney Channel. So it's mainly kid shows that I don't want to watch. Don't they realize there are bored kids out there that are above the age of five looking for something to watch?) Well maybe it's just me, but it always seems to be the same way every summer. I'm just glad this summer I get to be doing something totally fun that lasts more than two weeks. (Australia, here I come! I can't wait. It's going to be so much fun!)

i thought late nights at the library were reserved just for midterms and finals. apparently it's also for homework during summer school. this place is packed with people. i can rest assured in the fact that i'm not the only one. haha

 Blow Me Away- Breaking Benjamin  (Pretty much been rocking out to this all day...)

 

They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose
We've got to move
Steady the hand
(I am losing site again)


Fire your guns
It's time to roll
Blow me away
(I will stay, unless I may)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way

Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, will we die
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all


There's nothing left
So save your breath
Lying awake
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown
No where to go
Only your fate
(Only I will walk away)

Fire your guns
It's time to roll
Blow me away
(I will stay, unless I may)
After the fall
We'll shake it off
Show me the way


Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, will we die
I am the shadow on the wall
I'll be the one to save us all

Wanted it back
(Don't fight me now)

i wish some of my friends would believe in my dreams a little more.  i know that my biggest one right now probably won't happen, but i have faith that it could.  And just because something happens the same way the first few times, it doesnt mean it will never work.  i mean look at Abraham Lincoln.  he failed more than a lot of us ever have.  and he was one of the greatest presidents ever elected.  so right now i'm hoping and praying and wishing and dreaming that this one time this one dream will work out in the end.  because my wishes might come true.  i believe it.

 

I went horseback riding. It was fun. I got annoyed but yeah. Don't say a word Grace! I'm happy. Just thought I'd let ya'll know. : )

Hey my fantastic people :)
Not much is different. I am still working with the Bakers with their Horse-Camps and i am taking summer-school! Ok whoever thought Summer-School was a good idea should go to the bad place.... GRRR summer-school. Anyways, we finally opened our pool :P So i went swimming with Sam I Am (my sister, i call her Sam I Am) and then Seth got home with one of his friends *Jake* so i got out b/c they are.... a pain in the rain in spain if you know what i mean. Other then my brother driving me craZy, camp is only 6 days away :) Woo Hoo :P Oh yeah and i am getting tanner :-) I am pretty much not albino anymore ! YES!!!! But you fantastic people dont care about me becoming tan or me not being albino anymore so i suppose i shall go :-)
~ The One....The Only..... ME

It looks like I am going to buy a car sometime before the end of the week -- just lining up the insurance and need to pay the dealer.

 

You heard it here first.

 

1997 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight. 127,608 mi, blue. In very good condition. New brakes, newly-installed used-tires. Not cheap, but I think I am making a decent deal.

Sorry i haven't updated this thing lately. I know a few of you messaged me and asked me about my uncle and what not a while ago so I do apoligize. He's doing fine now and recovering from his back surgery. He's still in a lot of pain and is still in a wheelchair but he's expected to recover in a few months and starts his physical therapy soon. Grandma says he went out fishing with my other uncles and friends yesterday and ate catfish all day (one of his favorite pass times! lol.) so I'm glad he's getting out of the house and all. I'm just so thankful he is okay and God blessed his surgery!

 

I still haven't been able to land another job so I've decided to enroll in Goodwill Career Solutions. Its a free service to the public and they give classes on how to make a resume and provide job leads. I'm also looking into some internships within the social work department as well so wish me luck!

 

By the way if any of you know someone who is looking for an apartment in Murfreesboro or is signing a lease at Campus Crossings please let me know (even if you already have roommates in mind, I would pay the transfer fee and we received a discount so my rent is cheaper than if you sign up now). I am considering leaving MTSU to move with my mom (to South Carolina) for the Spring semester but if I can find someone to take over my lease I could leave the apartments at the end of this summer and just live on campus or something.

Tomorrow I leave for Europe.  Italy, Greece, Monaco.  3 and a half weeks.  It's pretty crazy, and I'm nervous and excited at the same time.

 

It's definitely going to be an experience!

Wel as most of you all know my uncle luke died..... this morning we got some news and my aunt w/ the brain cancer passed away today.... we are going threw alot right now.. j/ keep my family in your prayers..... :(

 

I truly think people were meant to come into our lives for a purpose. A purpose greater than ourselves. And to somehow change us.....impact us in ways that will forever change how we view ourselves. And then as suddenly as they came.....they go and their importance isn't as great as it once was. And I realize that no matter how grateful I am to God that they came, I am even more grateful that I am standing alone....by myself....nothing attached but the sharing of memories between us.

 

There becomes in itself a difference between needing someone in your life and wanting someone in your life. And it is at this point that I find myself.

 

I am finally free. Free to be my own person not trapped into lost memories and feelings that should have been locked into my past a long time ago.

 

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to throw away;

A time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.

 

 

Okay well i seriously miss my dogs they have been gone ever since thursday and the last time i got to see them was a week ago from today.... i am crying now.... and worrying about how i am going to manange with out them... and somethings are going on in my family.... okay well anyways i will go....

Yup im still relly exited about camp. Its only like a few days away!!!!!Last year was a lot of fun but im sure it will be even better this year. I wish that Carmen and Lane and . . . anyone else that cant go could go but. . . i cant always have my way 

I just can't seem to remember why God decided to create things like boredom, dysfunction, familes, reality TV, and stupid people.

 

Anybody out there care to refresh my memory? 

you kids, i swear to god...

 

a free trip to six flags where you miss class to go around with your friends at a theme park? i swear if you can't appreciate that because the theme park "isn't good enough" then youve got to be spoiled rotten.

 

honestly, when i was in high school (hell, even now), i would've KILLED for a chance to stop my daily routine to go ANYWHERE, especially a theme park. how you people manage to be incabable of appreciating this kind of thing is beyond me...you just don't understand how freaking good you have it.

ok so everybody's getting mail... and packages.... and funness from home..... except me! lol! drop me a note sometime!

this is my third post OF THE DAY...but i like these quotes

"If you love somebody let them know, don't go off doing stupid things and letting them go."
"Never question if you are in love or not, because if you were you wouldn't need to ask."
"The best way to love is to love like you have never been hurt."
"If I love you this much, and I'm not the one for you, then the one for you will be everything I am; and everything I'm not."
"You and her that's what you want. You and me that's what I dream."
"You know when you're truly in love, when all you can do is just be speechless and stare at nothing 'cause you're just amazed that you just found this incredible person."
"I'll surrender my world to you if that is the only way I could become a part of yours."
"I may not be your first, but to be your last would be perfect!"
"Don't let false love fool you, but don't let real love pass you by."
"If you want me to fall for you, you have to give me something worth tripping over."
"You fail to see the one who loves you standing right in front as does she fail to see you love her in turn. Don't wait to tell her, because it might be too late then."

I mean obvioulsy God has a plan in store for us that's going to be great, but why must we have to go through so many down falls along the way? I mean it seems like I'm losing all my friends over a misunderstanding. I mean does God really want me to lose a great friendship? What could possibly come out of this that's good? I don't see any silver lining to this cloud yet. I mean maybe there could be one, but the only thing I want to come out of this is I want my friend back. That's all I'm asking for. How hard is that? Apparently a lot harder than it looks because I'm still friendless.

okay GRACE now are you happy GRACE you are now my friend GRACE along with other people GRACE!  i have friends now GRACE, ya happy?.....GRACE

hahaha

okay there you go

so, i'm pretty excited about today...i get to spend the night with a friend tonight...woo.  and we have mime.  and it's rainy!  sorta.  i know, that's weird, but I love the rain.  I love sunshine, too.  but rain is pretty.  i just got this new cereal...yum.  it's special k chocolatey something or a nother.  i can't remember.  but it's good!  lol.  i had a great dream lastnight.  i wish dreams came true ; ).  i want a car...and a phone.  i went swimming yesterday.  it was really cold and then my cousin dropped her phone in the pool!!!  it was bad...she was absolutely hysterical.  *YIKES*  i don't want to start reading for high school...it's the summer!  but i have to.  I decided that in high school i'm really going to try.  maybe i won't end up with a bad grade in science!  i'm excited because my aunt is starting this store and for her fall line, i get to be a model!!  woo...i've always wanted that. k bye

i really need someone to talk to.
and someone who'll lend me their shoulder to cry on.
someone to at least listen.

guess what?
no one's there.

go figure.
story of my life.

I've decided I'm  just going to let God handle all my problems. Friend and dad problems. I've done all that I can humanly think of, and I'm really tired of trying to fix things that apparently don't want to be fixed. I should have gotten used to that things just go wrong for me. I mess the best things up. I can't keep a friend to save my life. I guess I'm just a horrible person or something. I don't know. Well I'm just going to have to pray long and hard about it. Maybe things will get better. I really want them to. I really do. Just be praying for me that I can handle all this and get things back to normal.

so we decided today that if Bruce Lee and Andrew Jackson were to have a baby, it would come out as Chuck Norris.

 

i was watching the news today and saw where presiden Bush went to Albania and he was greated like a... a national hero. it was pretty amazing to see our president, who seems to be hated by alot of people in out own country, to go to a predominately musilum country and be treated this way. i'm not saying we should be throwing parades for him, but we should show a little more respect. when people talk bad about our president i always say "i'd like to see you do better, or get the support of the nation twice in a row to even have the chance". to talk bad about our government is undermining the security we have in our freedom. lets respect it and be willing to do what has to be done to keep everyone safe.

 

anyways, enough about politics, i dont like talking about it.

 

i had alot of fun this weekend. it was great. whitney and i had a blast.

photo from

 

there wasnt any snow, but there was some country music, dancing and, well, some good fun. thats right, we went to tootsis orchid lounge. it was great.

 

summer school is, well.... about as fun as going to school during the summer time. haha.

 

so on that note, i g2g do some homework. blah.

 

piece 

1.I hurt one of my best friends feelings.

2.I can't change that.

3.I want to work things out and move on.

4.I want to crawl into a hole and die, but I know that's no way to fix any problem.

5.I don't know what to do anymore.

6.I losing all my friends FAST.

7.I feel so stupid right now.

8.I'm sorry for everyone I've hurt.

9.I want to make everything right, but I have no idea how to even begin.

10.I need to let God take care of all of this.

 

so, i haven't done like, an "update" post in a while...so i think i will.  my life has been sorta cooky lately.  i'm having some disagreements with some people.  i'm tired.  i'm bored.  and so on!  So, what's up with you people?  I'm really excited about saturday...i get to see my friends *one of whom i haven't seen since summer started ;)* that doesnt seem like that long...but when you are at home...with nothing to do, it really is!  I'm learning some awesome new songs on the piano

1) "Desperado" by the Eagles

2) "Amazed" by Lonestar (such a sweet song)

3) "It's Your Love" by Tim and Faith

4) "Set Me Free" by Casting Crowns (is that right?)

5) "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith...AAAH I LOVE THAT SONG

something I discovered this week is that the lead singer for aerosmith is really REALLY ugly.  and old.  So yeah, how's your summer been?

~carmen loves austin~

(and if you have a problem with it, please don't talk about me.  thanks)

 

Well im in kentucky right now.. my uncle passed away yesterday we left the hiuse as soon as we heard he wouldnt make it and will die in a day or so.. we were an hour late.. no i didnt get to see him... but yes i did after he was gone.. :( i will not be coming to mime practice to jarred .... sorry keep me in your prayers.. yes he was a christian!!! SORRY  to those who called me jarred, carmen etc i dont have my cell at this moment my mom does.... so sorry... thanks to all

One of the things I hate about this thing is....you NEVER know what the people are talking about lol :P It gets kinda annoying  :)

 

LUVS

I always love driving out to the country...

 

You know, as long as the car in front of you does not hit a bird.

 

Happy Brithday, Ben... even though you killed a bird. 

SO, I went to Lanes this weekend and Tamara was there as well :) lol it was fun... i'm not sure i can put it all into words so i will put up some pictures with side notes :P lol

Ha, we rode kid toys on the porch!

Lane and I eat a LOT of candy that night ( no sweet~Tarts though *sad face * )

Lane had 3 personalities going on!
1~ Evil
1~ Ok/Good
1~ Fat guy with pink hair who juggled
lol it shows what lack of sleep can do to people :P

Tamara was singing some random song and i thought it looked kinda funny :P

We were REALLY tired

Tired me

OMGosh we were talking, and Lane says "My dad just put a chair with an unbrela on it in the middle of the drive-way" i thought she was j/king but he really did. In the END her granddaddy was picking it up.

So yeah it was a fun weekend :P

What do you do when you've hurt one of your best friends? How do you show them that you're extremely regretful for all you said and all you did? How do you ever regain their respect and trust?

For you who know I'm talking to, I'm extremely sorry. I hope you don't hate me forever. I'd like the chance to talk to you and explain everything. But if you don't want to, I understand completely.

So I am fixen to hit the road tomorrow...please keep me, and my family in your prayers :) it'll take us about...5 days to get to TN .....it's so AWESEOMELY CRAZY lol :P

I've got my doubts and I've got my questions
It's nothing new 'cause I've seen them before
I've had my share of false revelations
It always seems they're knockin' on my door

You said that I should see the light
But sometimes faith is blind

How do you know, how do you know
What I'm suppose to be doing
Why do you go, why do you go on
Thinking you know my fate
So many times I've lost my step
But never lost my way
How do you know, how do you know
When I don't know myself

You're thinking that you've got all the answers
You've got my situation figured out
But you're only seeing part of the picture
There's so much more that you don't know about

And here you come to speak your mind
But I'll say one more time

 

How do you know, how do you know
What I'm suppose to be doing
Why do you go, why do you go on
Thinking you know my fate
So many times I've lost my step
But never lost my way
How do you know, how do you know
When I don't know myself

Have you ever wondered who your "prince charming" charming would be? I guess not many do. I don't speak for all, though, becasue I know there are some who probably think about it too much...lol.

 

I was reading a book, "Courting Troubles" by Deann Gist (great author by the way) and it's basicly about this woman who is 30 years old, and has not married, and has not had anyone take interest in her. She then decides to take matters into her own hands by picking a guy and pinning him as her future husband. Well, I won't spoil the story but many can guess what happens. She later gets into a big trouble and does something that could ultimatly destroys her future as a possible wife. Some can guess, but again, I will not say what she did.

 

Anyway, that story got me thinking how there really is a PERFECT person that God has set out for us. We can imagine who our future husband is and fanticize him being a certain person, but ultimatly we don't know until we meet them and God shows us. We have no clue who our "prince charming" is, when we are going to meet them, and when we are going to fall in love. That is all a mystery.

 

In today's society with Fastaccess DSL, cell phones, jets, etc, we are accustumed to having everything at a rapid pace. I guess when reading this book it got me thinking a lot. Do I really want to wait years and years for that RIGHT person or do I want to "settle" and be miserable? I'd chose the first, as many would, but that is sometimes really hard to do.

 

What inspires me in this wait is the example that my Youth Leader set. He was 35 when he married, and had known his wife, Emily for around ten years. Things brought them apart, but they waited for their perfect mate and in God's perfect timeing, they married. Sure, waiting is hard--and I can say that I am not the most patient person-- but when brought in persepective it is better to wait for that person than be miserable. Better someday than now.

 

"For what is seen is temperary but what is unseen is eternal"

I feel amazingly... unproductive. An acquaintance from High School is in LA auditioning for whatever he can. He is taking a risk and pursuing his dream. He was going to play it safe and be a pharmacist, but he is doing what he loves because he can't not do it. 

 

And what am I doing? I am working at Blue Coast Burrito-- where I get treated like crap by the owner's wife-- and sitting on my dreams. Roosting. I am roosting. I am not going to auditions. I am not even writing my story I was SO excited about.  I am still excited, but I just can't seem to get past this block.

 

So, I have to ask the question: Am I actually talented? Could I make it? I have answered myself in this, and because of my answer I am not looking for auditions. I don't see a point.

 

Please, reader, don't answer the above question. That would mortify me. Just think to yourself: If God gave you a talent, even one that is weak and small, is it a sin to not do anything with it because you have tried and failed so many times you feel depressed at the thought of getting rejected again?

 

My friend and I have coffee every week and plan our big breaks. How he will write a character just for me and let me be his star, and he will achieve his dreams. Will it happen? Oh God! Will it happen? 

I think I'm becoming an insomniac! I can never fall asleep anymore. Its 1:07 am and although I am sleepy something inside of me keeps wanting to stay up!!! ( I have a job interview tomorrow or I shall I say today so that's not good!).

 

Its weird. It really sucks though because if I stay up late, I'll be tired and feel "hung over" or sluggish the next day. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. My sister sugegsted I take sleeping pills but I really don't feel comfortable doing that. I don't want to get addicted or randomly fall asleep while I'm driving my car or something. lol. I guess I will have to continue forcing myself to go to bed. :(

it's technically not the 8th anymore . . . but i haven't been to sleep yet, so i suppose i can still wish you all a happy tennessee secession day.

 

happy holidays!

This is a great little saying. Learn it and live by it. Remember the past, but live in the present because you cant control the future.

So like all my friends are going to be gone over the next two months while I'm sitting here bored. Well I guess I'll be having fun in Austalia too. But I'm still bummed. I won't be able to talk to my friends for like twenty days. That is a very long time. I mean I freak out when I can't talk to them for like a day so I have no idea what I'm going to do. I'm going to have to work something out. Got any suggestions?

Hey Kids !

 im back from camp , i sorta missed mckennas wedding !!! thats hilariously sad , i wish i couldve been there , but i was exhausted and i sorta fell asleep , or sleep fel on me .... lol.

well, im back .. Yay! ... but then not Yay ! i loved it there ~ i had to much fun .....

 heres the most important thing i learned

your talk talks , and your walk talks , but your walk talks louder than your talk talks ... lol... seriously write that down and think about those words!!!!

 well, i missed you guys , but right now i miss my Kollin boy!!!!!

He was a real sweetheart , held the doors open for me , threw away my trash , held my bag , im serious , guys thats really attractive , especially when its a dudely guy , he had some muscles , and he plays post , and he loves God !!!!!!oh , and he had pretty eyes , im telling ya ....

  this is my second year w. him ,and e really treats me like a person , and some of you guys need to learn to treat your girls like that!!!!! i am sooo amazed ... i think this relates to how god treats us in away think about it!

Yeah i'm back from camp. It bit. Seriously, we weren't even allowed to prank!! AHH!!!

 

Not I'm home, I've taken a real shower, I've had real food, and I'm watching "Good Burger". I haven't seen that movie in years. Strawberry jacuzzi!! 

 

Haha, it makes me happy. I love it... Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, may I take your order? 

 

 

one more day,

and i gotta say...
gahh, i gotta stop writing in rhyme.

I used to have this confidence; it rarely wavered and made me strong. I used to not care about the scars that mark my body, said they gave me character. I once didn't worry about the callouses on my hands and the roughness of my skin in places. I wasn't bothered by the tanlines and I didn't overstress about the weight I'm desperately trying to lose.

 

But it's gone now. I worry and dislike my appearance. The scars and tanlines bother me more now. I'm self-conscious about my skin, my weight. Sometimes even my accent, which I adore, bothers me. I hate this, the worry and the stress. But the confidence is all but gone now, and I can't find it anymore.

So things are awesomely CRAZY here lol!! So yesterday we got my dog shaved and he looks soooooooooooooo wierd cause his hair...oh excuse me "fur" is usually about 3 inches long, but since we're moving back to TN it would simply be torture for him to have such long hair at a much warmer climate...the summers here are 60 degrees, and people die of heat stroke lol :P

 

anyway I best be going :)

 

LUVS :)

you know, i've felt pain FOR someone...but never felt it WITH someone...until now.  It hurts when you see someone you love hurting.  I really don't know what else to say except that I don't understand

"Summertime"

Summertime is finally here
That old ballpark, man, is back in gear
Out on 49
Man I can see the lights

School's out and the nights roll in
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain't seen in a while
And can't help but smile

And it's two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard

Perfect song on the radio
Sing along 'cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss
It's a sip of wine, it's summertime
Sweet summertime

Temperature says 93
Down at the Deposit and Guarantee
But that swimmin' hole
It's nice and cold

Bikini bottoms underneath
But the boys' hearts still skip a beat
When them girls shimmy off
Them old cutoffs

And it's two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard

Perfect song on the radio
Sing along 'cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss
It's a sip of wine, it's summertime
Sweet summertime

The more things change
The more they stay the same
Don't matter how old you are
When you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Yeah baby when you got

Two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle rollin' on the floorboard

Perfect song on the radio
Sing along 'cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss
It's a sip of wine, it's summertime
Sweet summertime

Funny Videosoh my gosh this is hilarious!!!  they spelled "rhapsody" wrong though.  i think this guy's got some problems...

Ok. So I absolutely love these new ads from Apple... and not just because I am an Apple fan (I am kind of getting sick of the iPod commercials).

 

I still have note decidd if I am going to fork out $500 for the iPhone when it comes out, but I must say, these commercials make it look pretty slick. 

wow.

so i talked to hunter for the first time in weeks.

i guess it was a good thing.

all the feelings i thought i'd have, i didn't.

it really surprised me...

because i wasn't quite sure if i had completely forgiven him or not.

but i now know that i pretty much have.

 

yeah, it's still really weird talking to him as friends.

i can guarantee that's not gonna change...for a while at least. 

but i'm glad i have one of my really good friends back..

 

and all i can do is hope he feels the same way.

yeah, i did like him a lot, and yeah, he did hurt me a lot.

but somehow i was willing to forgive him and move on.

and it feels good.

and even though there will always be feelings for him somewhere,

and if it means i have to let them go to get my friend back,

i'm willing to do that.

 

hmm.

yeah.

i'm done. haha.

 

love you all.

So, for those of you who are interested in the life of adam, here's the info:

I'm working for Mattress Gallery Direct as a delivery guy.  It's a pretty sweet job.  I get forty hours a week, eight an hour, always off on sundays and one other day a week (which is soon to change to two other days off a week :) ).

The only problem is, I can't get off for youth camp this year, which I found out today :(.  The first time I've missed one of the best weeks ever in like five years.

 

The most important thing, in my mind, I'm doing this summer is I'm in charge of SHIFT, the name of the drama team specifically for upcoming freshman that I'm over for the summer.

I have Katie Ramsey, Zack cambell, Morgan, Bekah Lewis, Nicole, and Alex Mulane under me, and as of right now we're working on a super awesome human video, which should hopefully be done by the end of June or early July.

 

Other than that, God is really telling me a lot of things this summer, though a lot of it is really confusing.  but it's all good though, I suppose, God is good :)

 

And at the end of the summer, a bunch of us guys are going to Florida for a few days, then I'll be going to Knoxville to see my awesome Mentor Pastor Ronnie, then moving in to start my

JUNIOR YEAR AT LEE UNIVERSITY!!

 

God is good, that's my life,

Comments anyone?  I don't seem to get any of those anymore...

So today was the LAST day of the camp of all boys!!!!!HALLELUJAH Thank You Jesus :) It was a camp i wont forget.
I have some pictures...

Thats Coco and Brago on our trail-ride

I had to stay with Coco and Brago the whole time b/c Brago ( the horse ) hates all the other horses and all the other horses hate him... so i had to get in between any fights that broke out :P fun job right there :P

Me and Jo just hanging out while everyone else was playing a game :P

Ok now this is a long story! They had sweet-tarts :P haha so they said if i wanted the sweet-tarts they got to soak me with the hose. Now Rilee had the same choice but she had Chocolate! :P SO we did it :P haha it was fun

Then Rilee and i got Lane all nice and wet! :) lol it was a fun day! Next week of camp is going to be ALL girls. So thats going to be just as fun! :P Anyways yeah thats all i wanted to talk about... Bye
                          *** The One The Only... ME ***

Just for the record, no it was not worth it. 

Ya so right now i am at my aunts house on her Mac its awesome. Austin is on the couch behid me sleeping. So far the trip is good. I have had a lot of fun.  We have some *suprise* for us on Saturday and I am kinda curiouse of what it is. Plus my Aust told me shoud would get me a Mac if i go to colledge and i will get a camera . . . because i told her i dont have one. She is te coolest ever. Well not only because she will get me stuff but because she gets it for me because she loves me. I have never heard her yell or scream or tell me what i can and can't do. Well I think i shall go. 

okay wow.

is it possible to be in love at 13?  because if it is i really honestly think i am

i know i sound stupid and all but...i dont know what else to do.  well lets just say i'm in LIKE.  a lot.  a whole lot.  i get nervous when i think about the person i get butterflies when i'm around them...it's getting hard to talk to them...AAAAAAAAAH.  i think i'm going crazy.  but right now i'm just really happy...happyful.  woo.  thanks for listening to me ramble

I don't think I can feel anymore peaceful than when my baby niece falls asleep with both of her little legs on either side of me and her head on my chest.

 

It is one of the most beautiful and precious moments in the world.

 

 

I basically use this for good lyrics now. haha.                 

 

you told me 32 ways
to make you smile
i did 31 within the first hour
you stood amazed
in your delighted shoes
bewildered but willing
didn't know what to do
so i grabbed your cold hand
pressed it to my beating heart and said
isn't it neat
how our bodies tick
and we can move our feet
whenever and however we please
you stared blindly while i waited politely
in the doorway by our school
some cars passed and i noticed someone was singing
"us" by regina spektor
you know how i had a crush on her
i know you don't like grey skies
we know our multiplication tables
you got straight a's while i was writing fairytales
and looking out window seals asking why
the sun shine liked my eyes
and kissed my cheek
when it knew i was in love with the moon
and of course with you
well i sped it up
'cause you don't like slow songs
you're more of the literal kind
yeah you're more like the ocean's waves
you get closer at the end of the day
when you know i can't see your face
when you're sure i'm already lost
love is oh so lovely
but it also comes with a cost

Have you ever had the feeling that some cosmic joke was being played on you? Like as if the Almighty not only had a sense of humour, but even more twisted than your own?

 

Hosea was an interesting 'minor' prophet. But an interesting question: Can you love someone without being faithful? Yet she said she loved him.

k not sure how i ffel about all this newness-- won't have much time to play with it - i'm in the smoky's working for Smoky Mountain Resort Ministries until Aug. so yeah... no internet at dorm.... brent... can you still confirm my pix request?

I am so tired, BUT the good thing is I actually like being tired lol...no not really :P Once at a speech/debate tournament (those things are 3 days long) I wanted to see how tired I could get myself...yeah not so smart...I ended up not doing so great at that competition...oh well :) ANYWAY moving is tiring BUT I am sooooooooo happy to be moving back to TN YAY! Then I can be the country girl I really am....going from the middle of nowhere to the middle of everything is a hard change...that I still haven't accomplished :P

 

so yep that is what's new with me :) I will hopefully see all o' yall sooner than later :)

 

Savannah

So her birthday was a lot of fun. We went to the mall and shopped and stuff. Then we went and ate at the Aquarium Restraunt. We actually fit five people into a picture booth. It took forever to get situated, but in the end it all paid off for a wonderful pic of us. Right. ;) When we got back to Batey's house, I think we had the most fun. We went outside to play truth-or-dare and ended up singing worship songs. It was a lot of fun. When we got back inside we had to go moth hunting. Yes, moths were attacking us. ;) This morning we had chocolate-chip pancakes that were really good. Especially since I haven't had them in like forever. Well I should get going. I talk to you guys later.

So lately, my younger sister and I have started watching this anime series "Death Note," and honestly, it's turning out to be one of the best anime series I've seen, despite the lack of drawn-out fighting.  It's really surpassed my expectations.  Ya'll should check it out if you're into anime at all.  I watch it a veoh (like youtube, but better).

I'M LOV'N THE NEW PHUSEBOX....GOOD WORK NATHAN

So today is June 6th. It is the 63rd anniversary of D-Day. And so I bow my head in prayer and thanks for the men who lost their lives on those beaches and the men who succeed and survived.

I Love This Song :P

"Me and Charlie boy used to go walking
Sittin in the woods behind my house
When bein lovers meant a stolen kiss
And holding hands with nobody else around
Charlie said he wanted to get married
But we were only ten so we’d have to wait
He said we’d never let our love run dry
Like so many do these days

So we treat our love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar
With holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin
That’s just me and Charlie talking

Charlie always said he’d like to leave here
So he turned 18 and left our sleepy town
Letters came and went and I kept waiting
For Charlie to come back
And bring the life he’d found
Funny how time and distance change you
The road you take
Don’t always lead you home
You can start a love with good intentions
And you look up and it’s gone

So we treat our love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar
With holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin
That’s just me and Charlie talking

Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie
How we thought we knew it all back then
Now I’d give anything to feel love
From a child’s heart again

So we treat our love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar
With holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin
That’s just me and Charlie
Me and Charlie talking"

Hey, Just keep me and Austin in your prayers

we are flying to FL by ourselves tomorrow

we are leaving at 11:30 and getting there at 5 so just be prayin for us

thanx 

This morning around 10 my granddaddy, Luther Stephens Litchfield, passed away. He has suffering from Alheizmer's for about two years and my family and I have been praying that the Lord would bring Him peace, and He has. Despite the suffering he has endured, his passing this morning was quick and very peaceful; he was sitting in his wheelchair and in an instant slouched over, dead. This is my first grandparent to lose. I am so proud of all he accomplished as a Marine, a WWII veteran, and as a pastor, but most of all as my grandfather and friend. He was an amazing man of God and I know that right now he is running on those streets of gold of heaven, rejoicing. We are still working on funeral arrangements and are uncertain how soon my aunt and uncle, who are currently out of the country, will be able to make it, but it looks like the funeral will probably be on Sunday. I had plans for next week that unfortunately will probably not work out, but that's ok, because I trust in God's Will. Please pray for my grandmother and mom at this time especially, as well as everyone else in our family.

The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. -Isaiah 57:1-2

Life ant always beautiful.. who agrees b/c people has ther up and their downs and kids more than likely had a fight w/ there parents.. and trust me people have their bad days... so no one has a perfect life...

photo from nathan  

20 Euros (it is London, afterall) to anyone that can give me five solid reasons why this design for the 2012 Olympics logo is a good idea...

 

This is about the worst logo design I have ever seen... and the design firm got $800,000.00 for it... almost 1 million - for that... that. A 5-year-old with construction paper would come up with a similar design.

 

London reports that they wanted something that did not look corporate and spoke to a younger generation... hmmmm... kind of like kids from the 1990's?

 

I hear they also got MC Hammer as the Olympic spokesperson. 

 

 

I understand my mom loves me and all. But why do parents ( or in my case parent ) have to be so... how should i word it so it doesn't sound bad... Uptight? I mean every little thing i do, she thinks i am doing something wrong. For instance, if i'm on the computer or talking on the phone SHE FREAKS OUT "who are you talking to" "what are you talking about" "do i know this person" "why are you talking to them"????? OMGosh why not for once trust me and let me live a little. Because if she keeps it up the way its going now, when i can drive i will never be home! I will be out finding something ( not bad ) to do, just so i dont have to be home.

I know the next few months are going to be... how should i say.... Bitter-Sweet. More Bitter than Sweet but i'm used to that. Anyways I am just so tired of all this! I want for once to be happy, forget about my past. The only time i forget about my past and just live, is when i am on my horse running as fast as she can run through open planes and woods. Unfortunately i can't be on my horse 24-7.

Something Happy :) I am home alone for a little while and i got nothing to worry about ( at the moment ) BLAH! Suppose i'll talk to you people later

Well i j/ got my hair cut... and now im home im about to go and get my permitt!! we went up there but it was pack. so we are gonna go back up there later. ive been studing for a while..lol we j/ got a convertable bmw.. yeah i know i spelt that wrong but i dont care.. but thats what im gonna be riding in to mime practice monday!!! yeah

Much anticipated, I know.

I'd make it a link, but apparently phusebox won't do that anymore.

I dont know if they play this in the US or not. I've never seen it. Anyway, it's hilarious.

TIME FOR SOME POETRY (I wrote it!)  ick maybe don't read it...it's all sappy. that's what i do on bad days

So softly and gently do the tears fall, as I sit here with thoughts of him gracing my memory. I wish that he was forever mine to hold...to say "I love you" to and to worry about...but he's not. She's perfect, that girl he's crazy for...and so is he. So, I guess they are a match made in Heaven. But I don't want to believe that. Not now, and not later. He doesn't know how bad I want him, and he really doesn't know how badly I need him...my heart longs for him; it's uncontrollable. His words chase away my sanity, day by day...his smile makes me melt and when he says my name...my heart stops. Slowly but surely, as the sun rises and sets, my love for him and carelessness for others is growing. For only when he is mine will I be satisfied with my heart. The heart that cries constantly for him to grace my presence one last time. I want him to hear my last words...I want him to be my last words...I want me to be his last words...

============whaddya think============

this is one i wrote quite a while back.  well not really that long.  no, it doesn't have any significance

oh who am i kidding??  of course it has significance...hehe

=======time to apologize=======

Well, I want to apologize to nathan.  I’m sorry if I offended (is that the right word?) you in any way.  I know that some of the comments I made about the new version were a bit harsh and for that I’m sorry.  It’s just, people like me get confused really easily.  And its not that bad.  I know you worked (and are still working) VERY hard on this and for that, I thank you!

 

I ordered eight CDs for $52. I am very proud of myself.

 

Chris is gone to camp, and they hate media there. Thus, I am quite alone. You know, because none of YOU PEOPLE call me and invite me to things. I am the black sheep unless attached to one of the Chrises.

 

That's too bad, because I am a lot of fun.

Well, I don't know exactly what to say...I love to write. That's quite obvious from my title. I suppose by now, you are wondering what I am so distressed about. It's more complicated than one might think, but I feel writing it out would be helpful.

 

Ever since I was around 9 I have written stories, though never finishing them, never even getting past the first chapter somtimes. This never bothered me too much,  becasue though I did love creating stories, I knew I didn't have the drive...at least not yet.

 

I didn't get the "drive" to write until I met a certain friend with a binder holding a 600 page hand written story. I was so inspired by her dedication, that I vowed to finish a story.

 

It is my pleasure to say that after two years I have been true to my vow and finished my first real story, "Faith Will Lead You On".

 

Ok, so now I will be getting to my main point. While writing my I started off real slow, writing here and there, and I was doing fairly well. Then, I decided to post this story of Fictionpress.com, a site I recently found. I imediatly was consumed by this site, reading other people's stories writing my own, and even getting on the computer almost every few hours just to check if I got a review. My mind was filled with thoughts of "did I get a review?" or "what should my next chapter be about?" or "I wonder what will happen next in that person's story?". It was the first thought in morning and last tough at night.

 

As you can tell, I was engulfed, and my grades slipped just a little. My parents approached me about this and I told them I would try to back off a little. This helped but I still constantly thought of it.

 

Ever since I made the vow to myself, I felt God tugging at my heart saying, "don't write this certain story" (I had started more than one story before I wrote "FWLYO"). I was distressed becasue I just COULDN"T stop. I would break my vow, my friend (the one who inspired me and has in turn looked up to me for spiritual advice in her own trials), would not understand why, and plus I didn't WANT to. The former may be my biggest downfall.

 

Then I started playing mind games with myself saying that God didn't want me to give up writing, he just wanted me to give it up to him. This was reasonable enough and I gave it to him, at least I thought I did. Deep down in my heart, though, I knew that it wasn't true. 

 

As of now, I decided to refrain from posting another story until it is finished. I found that part of the reason that I got so engulfed was becasue I had the drive that I needed to please the readers and update as soon as possible.

 

Even upon taking this step, I still struggle with the same question as the summer starts. With all the time on my hands, it is so easy to fall into temptation and become even more engulfed in my writing. My question..."What is God's will for my writing?". I want to write for God, but I don't exactly know how. When I write I don't think about God...I only think about the story. I know you all are not God to tell me what I should do, but I just wanted to ask your honest opinion.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that four months after writing my last entry that God take me on a beautiful, indescribable journey that has brought me to an entirely new place in life.

 

God has placed a wonderful man in my life that encourages me to find God in so many situations, and that is such a blessing.

 

I no longer work for the Extended School Program; leaving was so hard, but God has beautiful things in store with my new job. What is my new job? I'm working for John's parent's with a business they are part owners of. The hours are good, and the pay is great so I will be staying with that during the summer. I'm not entirely sure what I'll be doing job wise once school starts, but I'm not too worried about it.

 

I'll be 21 in twenty six days!

My aunt lost her baby. She was only 10 weeks pregnat, so we don't know if it was a boy or a girl. It's so sad. My 3 year old cousin,Brayden, dosn't understand and still thinks he's gonna be a big brother. There probably going to try again, be it scares me because my other aunt had my cousin Ben, but then she had 3 miscarriges. 2 of them where really early in the pregnacy but the 3rd was a stillborn. They arn't going to try anymore. Anyway, pray for my aunt, uncle, and cousin. I can only imagine what it must be like to loose a child.

This is my all-time favorite ad. Skittles rock!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so the new Phusebox is interesting. :D

 

I'd give some eProps to the maker if this were Xanga, but I think he will understand my appreciation just given this "Thought" was posted.

 

Seems like the text box is running slowly, but that just might be my computer or IE. :: shakes fist ::

 

Regardless, I migrated all my remotely important files from my host computer over to my primary-operations computer. I am gonna switch some stuph around, make my computers are little bit more efficient.

 

I saw a car on AutoTrader.com. It looks like a steal. The problem is, a) it is like 60 minutes away and b) things tend to not be true if they are "too good to be true"... The soonest I can get down there will be this next weekend, so if it really is a steal... someone will probably get it first.

 

I think I will try Lindsay. Slowly, but consistently strong. Then people will look at her feet, as they are swept off the floor. Okay, I joke. But I'll try.

I want to represent so many things. I want to be so many things. And I've noticed that as I am growing older who I want to be and what I want has changed drastically...especially the closer I get to God. I desire to be in His will more than anything else.  And my prayer has been for God to mold me into the characteristics that I desire to be. And slowly I can see the changes He has helped me to make.

 

I want to be godly, wise, slow to speak, committed, responsible, willing to sacrifice what I have to for the betterment of something else, kind, slow to anger, thankful in all circumstances, honorable, trustworthy, respectful, submissive, gracious, humble, a helper, virtuous, prepares for the future, mature, supportive, encouraging, faithful, pure in both mind and heart, patient, and obedient.

 

*smiles*

I think I have a lot of work...

favorite picture ever. ^_^
gotta love those kids.

Finally a senior!

i have been going through alot here lately. i am so confused about what i truly want out of life and who i am. lately i have been doing some deep soul searching; still nothing. i mean i somewhat know what i want like for example the obvious things, success, indipendence, acceptance, security. i am talking about what i want more out of life like what is my purpose here on ths earth? anyways i know for sure that i cannot just give up, i must move on and one of these days i will find the answers. i am just going to take it one day at a time.

We are having our church luau this Saturday (the 9th.) It starts at 4:00 and goes till' 8:00 at Liberty Baptist Church in White Bluff. It's on White Bluff Road, and it's the last church right before you go over the rail road tracks. Any of yall' who live near there should come. I'll be working booths, so stop by and say hi. It will be a lot of fun.

Work it Carmen :P

Tamarra and Carmen :)

Tamarra and I

Tamarra eating my FAV candy

LOL nice Carmen nice

It was a fun night

So as you all know :) I am going to be moving to TN this summer...however, turns out I'll be moving sooner than I thought lol I am getting in the car, and pulling out of this drive way...the 10th of this month....wow my life is CRAZY but I like it that way so it's cool :)

 

I am really excited about it, and yet a little torn....gah it's def. a bitter sweet thing cause I am moving back to my home, but I am leaving a lot of people here that I love and care about...but God is helping me there :)

 

AND we're DRIVING to TN lol that'd make it the 6th time for me...WA to TN is approx. 2,750 miles...that's a lot so it will take about 5 days plus we're taking 4 dogs lol whew I am so excited :) :) :) :)

 

LUVS :)

So... my wife reminded me of one of my other favorite creative commercials on TV right now... I laugh every time it comes on... and then rewind my TiVo and watch it again. Hot Juicy Burgers... for the first time in my life, I actually want to go to Wendy's.

I'm so confused right now. I don't know what to do. I really like this guy, but he's not really in the same group of people I'm in. (He's popular.) Carmen thinks I should call him, but I don't know if I should. I have planned out what I want to say, if by chance I do call him. Which I really want to. I mainly just want to get to know the real him. What do you think I should do? I mean there are advantages, but there are also some disadvantages. Carmen thinks I should not even think about the disadvantages because we not even in school so it's not like his friends can laugh at me for the rest of the year because he thinks I'm totally stupid for calling him. Maybe she's right. I want her to be. What do you think I should do?
