I don't understand boys....
August 17 2005
okay so I have come to the conclusion that I don't know if a boy is interested in getting to know me or not. It just seems to me that they'll talk to me for a little while and all, and then they go and stop talking to me and get all friendly with some other girls. I just feel kind of rejected by them is all. I mean I would love to have a great group of guy friends but I don't and I just wish I knew what I was doing wrong. I mean, am I just acting too shy around them that they just don't think I'd be cool to get to know. I just am confused is all....
and I want to understand more. I mean I don't have to understand all of it, but I just wish I could have some light shed on this whole thing. I just am right now feeling like a boy-repelent or something.
well that's all I have right now....you all have a great day!

Ok, I'm just flat out tired.. I've done way too much in a short amount of time, and I'm drained. I'll try to get around to everybody( because I care) and check up.
I just got out of an Officer meeting for Y.A.W.S., and If you go to OHS and are interested in the great world of art, see me about joining. We really need peoples support this year; The Celebration of the Arts is in jeperody of not being held at all. Only relatives and close friends ever showed up for our performances, and after all the money, time, and effort put into such a huge performance, we barely filled half the auditorium... This makes me sad because I had to FORCE myself onto that stage: I have the worst case of stagefright and it all the strength I had just to keep myself in sound mind. Y.A.W.S. is really important to us, and we need a few good recruits with a mind full of ideas...
Thats all I got to say right now, I'm exhausted..
By the way, I love you guys.

School/Oath Nite/Band= LONG POST AHEAD!
August 17 2005
Just when you think your life is great, school starts. I love all my classes for the most part. Childcare is gonna be great, minus all the projects because I'm not very creative but little kids will make it fun when they come in October. So far, I absolutely despise my english teacher, Mrs. Jackson. What kind of teacher makes you take your summer reading tests the second full day of school and doesn't tell you over which book? I'll tell you...AN EVIL ONE! Mr. Scudder is HILARIOUS! That class will be fun too. Math is math and my 2 band classes will be fun too, especially Guard class. Sheesh, school really wears you out though. I'm seriously prolly gonna take a nap soon!
Oath night was...interesting. I think I'll write more about that on my xanga , that way this post isn't really long and I can update both.
First football game Friday against Blackman. We chose buses last nite and all the cool kids got on Bus 2. Oh and we're SO not ready for the game either! Mr. Lawson isn't having us practice on the field and all the freshman are gonna get so confused but whatever. If he wants us to look stupid that's his problem, not mine. Just like last night when I complained because he made us go outside in the rain and rain ruins woodwind pads all he said was "I pay for the piccolo!" Uh! Frustrating! If I ran things...hehehe. MYO starts up tomorrow night. I'm so excited about my first practice. I hope I got a good chair and I hope it's tons of fun! Anyways, this is long but it's been awhile.

August 17 2005
Idk if it is that I have an early morning or that I like my teachers, or both, but my school day goes by REALLY fast, and I totally like it, it is so awesome. Well there isn't much more to say, if you have nothing to do you should come to the Oakland vs. Blackman game and see the band during half time, we are so awesome, and I'm so excited!!! Well that is about it...
Life in NC
August 17 2005
So i finally have a day off and just thought I'd update on how things are over in NC. Josh started his job yesterday - but still won't have students for another week. Now that August is here and everyone is starting back to school it reminds me that I'm an "adult" now, which isn't that great - bills, bills, work, bills, ect - well you get the picture. But life here is still good and Josh and I are enjoying the many things to do in a new city. As he wrote on his page, we went to the beach a few weeks ago - we're only hours away!!!!! There's also a state park a few miles from my apartment where we've gone running - not together of course ( I think Josh ran 10 miles and I ran 2!). There's also a lake nearby that we have been wanting to go - and Josh is dying to go kyacking. Big suprise, I know. We've also found some good places to shop with just about any store that you can think of. However right now, we're both BROKE - so shopping isnt all that fun. So there has been plenty to do to keep us busy. As I wrote before, we've been going to a church here and are really enjoying the teaching and worship. The people are so nice and you can definately see that God is at work there. We continue to pray that God will lead us in the decision about where to get involved and where He wants us to be. There are alot of people in my apartment complex that go there and so it has opened up doors for us to meet people. We miss you guys so much and hope to keep in touch! I'm sorry I havent gotten to respond to your remarks you've left - once I figure out more how to use this thing, I'll get better about it - but know that I enjoy getting them and I read each of them! God bless you!

terrible vibrations in this place
August 17 2005
not much to say. actually i have alot to say i'm just not sure how to express it all right now. maybe i should think this one through some more.
i miss my family and friends like crazy.
that's about it.
listening to Pink Floyd:A Momentary Lapse of Reason
On the Turning Away is by far one of my favorite songs by them, or any band for that matter.
definitely check it out if u haven't heard it.

Where the Love Last Forever
August 17 2005
Your mercy found me,
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever Yours I’ll stand.
In love never to end,
To call You more than Lord,
Glorious friend.
(Chorus)
So I throw my life upon all You are,
‘Cause I know You gave it all for me,
And when all else fades,
My soul will dance with You,
Where the love lasts forever.
And forever I will sing,
Lord forever I will sing,
Of how You gave Your life away,
Just to save me, Lord You saved me.
With You, where the love lasts forever.
Take time a read these lyrics. I was at a United concert last night and this song blew me away! By far my favorite. "So, I throw my life upon all that you are"... "When all else fades, my soul will dance for you!"... When life goes to the can, I'll still dance for Him. Because you see, the Joy thats in my heart is not dependant on the circumstances around me. It's deeper than that, I can't control it! I have the creator of the world living in me, taking every step i take with me, and He's not going anywhere. The same one who painted the sunset yesterday, the same one who told the ocean waves where they had to stop, the same one who put the stars in the sky and knows each by name. So, no matter what happens in life, I'll be dancin, cause He is right there with me!

tourist days
August 17 2005
lori has been in the city this week so i've dropped all my work at graffiti and become a tourist. it's been nice to get away from it for a little while. but being a tourist makes me even more thankful that i know i have a job to go to. in a way, the church is a retreat from the city. anyway, we've experienced:
} brooklyn tabernacle choir
} live with regis and kelly
} financial district
} chinatown
} little italy
} soho
} greenwhich village
} washington square park
} nyu
} statue of liberty
} ellis island
} wtc site
} times square
} central park
and she's done a few other things without me, as i had to entertain other engagements. it've enjoyed it and now i'm ready to get some sleep :)

August 17 2005
So the past couple weeks I have been planning a surprise get together for alex and stephen and it was tonight! It went really well, a smaller group than I had planned but still, I think it turned out great. Im sooo glad they are home. After supper we went and played ultimate frisbee... actually the boys played while me and mary sat and talked... I

er, i mean, ummmm....
anyway, hillsong played tonight at rocket town. a group of us went up there. luckily, i was able to eat at sbarro, which was all fun until amy and i got left there. oh yeah. true story. left and forgotten by our friends. tis tis. we had to walk all the way back to rocket town by ourselves at night. but we managed.
hillsong put on a great show!
i was a lot closer than this...check out the picture in the photo box kids. but yeah, we just go back because we had to take some guy from tulsa to his hotel. on the way back nathan made us do some riddle. it drove me crazy. i can get impatient with those, especially when i am tired. but i want to go to bed. i hope everyone has a great night!

August 16 2005
Well, bright and early tomorrow morning I am moving back to Cookeville. I guess that pretty much signifies the end of the summer for me. I have been running around crazy the past two days trying to get everything together, but I think it is finally done. I can't believe I am moving into an apartment... so weird. I wasn't ready to move out of the dorms yet, but God definitely had bigger plans and I will trust in that. Anyway, this summer has been good and I have learned quite a bit by being home. I had a great time with everyone that I was able to spend time with and get to know. I can't wait to come home and see you guys again. Anyway I'm tired, so goodnight and see ya later. :)
I Just Can't Spit It Out
August 16 2005
I have a lot on my mind. I've started three different blogs and I either couldn't complete them because I couldn't express myself in writing or I wrote soo much that it would wrap for several pages. I decided to scrap it all and just sit here and think some more.
The new semester is starting soon. Pray for MTSU, my returning to school, and most importantly for AO. With the lack of a central, permanent leader comes issues that I pray God will work out so AO doesn't implode. I want this to be the beginning of something magnificant, not the end of something cool.

Rather then religion, we need relationship.

Here is something that I saw in my notes from a sermon that I heard this summer....
Gods plan wasn't to be housed in walls in a church. The power of the Lord is in us. Its wherever we walk!

Yellow - Coldplay
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.
I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called Yellow.
So then I took my turn,
Oh what a thing to have done,
And it was all yellow.
Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones,
Turn into something beautiful,
You know, you know I love you so,
You know I love you so.
I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.
Cuz you were all yellow,
I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,

I'd bleed myself dry for you,

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
Darling, did you know that I dream about you? I'm waiting for the look in your eyes when we meet for the very first time. Darling, I pray about you and for you. I pray that you will hold on, and keep your loving eyes only for me. Darling, I dream about life together. I know it will be forever; I'll be yours and you'll be mine. And darling, when I say 'til death do us part', I'll mean it with all of my heart. Now and always, I'll be faithful to you. I know you may have made some mistakes, but I will forgive you and give you a second chance. Just wait for me. I'm waiting for you. I'm praying for you, darling. Wait for me, too. Wait for me as I wait for you.
-paraphrased from Rebecca St. James', "Wait For Me"

August 16 2005
So I am a Senior..A Fuckin Senior..I am still getting over the shock. Schedule is good, except that I feel like a complete slacker. Maybe I should have kept the science class. Perhaps, I’ll feel better next semester when my real classes kick in. I suppose having 6th period with Salty isn’t helping this feeling of slackism. I think that is a new word.
First race this week, I have a feeling that my alter ego, Negative Nancy might want to make a visit. I hate this feeling of being neurotic. I need to just not focus on it. That is it, it is just a practice.
There isn’t much else to say, well except. I am a FUNKIN SENIOR!

Back on the Battlefield
August 16 2005
Classes start back tomorrow. I am praying up for strength, boldness, and guidence. Between the 18 hours of class, two jobs, and everything else, I need to stay focused on my mission and not get distracted by my surroundings. Granted, school is important and it should come before lots of things, but my missionwork comes first. That is how i have to see being here, by seeing my campus as my missionfield. Without that vision, I could se easily get bogged down by other people's expectations, rather than His.

i wish i had something interesting to say...
school = exhausting
but it was fun times, i suppose.
there was a circle of my friends sitting in the middle of the courtyard at lunch.. so of course i walked up to them and tapped each one on the head "duck... duck... duck...." then i got to ashley "GOOSE" and she cheated and ran through the circle. but i totally got to her seat before she could catch me
^_^
haha... i'm so lame..

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love- for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the council of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world."
-Max Ehrmann
golly, i love that quote.

PhuseBox: Greenbox
August 16 2005
To clear up any confusion, "Greenbox" is just the codename for the new site version. When this version goes live, you will not have to update anything or transfer your account... it will all be automatic.
One day, you will get on the site and notice that everything is completely different (but better) and that is when you will know that the new version (Greenbox) has gone live.

PhuseBox Update: Aug. 16
August 16 2005
The new version of PhuseBox is moving right along. I had originally planned to have it ready by the time school started for most of you, however, with all the additional new features and stuff, it is still not ready to go live.
I can tell you that the new site ("greenbox") will be awesome and definitely will run circles around the current version. Everything in Greenbox is more integrated... The Blog Manager is much easier to use and is loaded with features (I am currently writing the post from the new blog manager). There going to also be a new way to browse photos and link between photos that are in the same topic.
I, along with several others, are really excited to go live with greenbox. I am working on it almost non-stop every weekend when I have free time.
We are also planning to move to larger servers soon to accommodate all the new users, space, and bandwidth. Along with the new site design and switching servers, PhuseBox is about to become incorporated. This will allow for greater growth of PhuseBox in the future.
As always, let me know if there are any features that you would like to see in the new version of the site or let me know of any bugs that you run into. Though, I am programming the new version from scratch and so many of the current bugs will be taken care of, still let me know of them.
Continue to spread the word and get more users on PhuseBox!

oh the woe of a heavy load.
so I think it's time for a change. maybe I'll lose 25 pounds, dye my hair blonde, and get a few piercings. Maybe i'll dress preppy. Maybe I'll try to be happier. Shall I paint my face in heavy make-up? Kiss a few boys? Do a few drugs? Anything to escape the monotany that is me.
because me, just isn't good enough right now.

Work Rant. Be Prepared. It's Nothing Interesting, Though.
August 16 2005
Freakin' a.... Work last night was a bitch. First off Janie, the supervision terror, decided to pay a visit, and got incredibly pissed off that I was waiting on half of a near-empty section because I hadn't completed my eight days of training. (We had squeezed eight days into seven, because it was easy.) So Nick offers to put me in section 1. "No, then you can't watch her to be sure she doesn't mess up!" So she puts me in section five. All of section five. All of the section-five, by-the-bar, busiest-damn-section five. I swear, it was filled so much. I was running around for hours. Then a table gets pissed off, doesn't mention anything about it or try to flag me down to fix it, and insults me behind my back to another server. Bitches. I pictured them wrapped around a telephone pole. But no blood. Okay, maybe a little. Them and their screaming, spaghetti-throwing children. But it's all good. Tips were very satistfactory. *Grins* I'm heading out right after this, lol.
Aww crap. Our weather alarm's going off. I better get a-running.
Retail therapy.... I love it. ;D

August 16 2005
I have this pit in my stomach.... which i think is fear and of course anticipation. The fear part all began this morning when my mom informed me that i cannot come home for both Thanksgiving and Christmas... I have to pick one. So obviously I am going to pick Christmas. But STILL. That is SEVENTEEN weeks away. Oh I love having no money. It is amazing.
So now... I think i'll go sit in a corner and cry. not really....
but maybe.................
I dont want to go to New York anymore.
Ok... YES I do.
I know that God is going to work it all out. It is just so weird.... not being with your family for Thanksgiving?
I am so frustrated.

God's little gift to the world
August 16 2005
well, i guess sometimes you don't realize the extend of how important things are in your life until they are gone. i have an aching in my heart to be able to play, laugh with, and help my lil loves. i was looking through a few pictures of them and i just cried and a smile came across my face a couple of times remembering the fun times. being firemen, birthdays, and of course all the fun times with my little "boyfriend". i would tell him i was going to eat his pudding (man that kid loved pudding!) and he would just laugh. i remember the first time i heard him laugh. that made my day. his giggle was something special. i just laugh thinking about it. i was laughing so hard that day, i was crying. his face would light up when he saw me. i never got tired of the little arms that would wrap around me when i came in. i loved being their friend. if that meant playing dress up, building with blocks, sitting next to them, making a band, having an art show, dancing, acting silly, listening to their BIG adventures or maybe even participating in them, or just helping them... man, i miss those kids. but i know God is in control. and everything will be okay and He will help me. it is all for His glory. so i am going to get ready and go search for another job now. i hope everyone has a great day and remember that no matter what happens, good or bad, God is in control...trust Him in every situation.

i wasnt goin to post today cause my lifes kinda boring right now. but i thought i would cause i just heard somethin kinda funny. vanilla ice released a new cd today. does anybody else find that funny. in "ice ice baby" he talks about shells hittin the pavement, but has a guy like him ever heard shells hittin the pavement. c'mon, i think he's makin that one up.
i was watchin super sweet sixteen yesterday, has anybody else wathced that. personally, i think the poeple on that show are just a little spoiled. hold on, did i say just a little. i meant a lot. oh ya, and i also saw a commercial for jc penny, they've come out with a line of "home furnishings", i think thats what they called it. it's supposed to mimik what you see on "Cribs". personally, i dont like copying other peoples style. but i guess some poeple do.

The men in my life
August 16 2005
5 Things that need to be said to 5 important guys in my life:
Guy # 1: You are very special to me. I love the way you love everyone, you have such a big heart. Everytime I see you with those kids it makes me so happy to know that there are still amazing guys in this world. You are the guy in every dream, but right now isn't the right time, and only God knows when it will be.
Guy # 2: I don't know how one person can make one girl feel everyone emotion at one time. You had the love that you are searching for, but it is gone now. I can not wait for that day, the day you realize that I was the one that loved the real you, and not the guy that you want to be. It is nice to know that everything is back to normal for us. I miss you, but I can't be around you b/c that can lead to more unneeded emotions.
Guy # 3: You have grown up so much, and that amazes me. I know that you are tired, and Stressed, but you have resposibilities that need to be taken care of and I hope that you have a new outlook on life after that incident. You really and truely mean a lot to me and I am so glad that God has blessed me with you.
Guy # 4: You are stubborn, arrogant, and you have a part of my heart. We went together like Twinkies & cream filling, Beer & baseball, and a cigarette after good sex : ) (j/k) What happened? I guess life moves on, but I have learned a lot from you. I miss our long talks, listening to con-hoptry, Silly qoutes, Big Daddy & Skeetor, and your hugs.
Guy # 5: You are not right for me at all, but I think that God has placed you in my life for many reasons. I know that you are trying to get your life together, but if I am with you I know that I will fall b/c I am not strong enough, and you could probably be a weakness b/c you are very charming! All I can say to you is Don't be somebody that your not. Do not change b/c I don't agree with your ways, but change b/c you want too!

It Occurred to Me
August 16 2005
It occurred to me that before the attack on Pearl Harbor, we were not trying to get involved in the beginnings of WWII and Hitler's tyranny in Europe. But then when Japan decided to bring us trouble we retaliated.
I understand there was an alliance between Nazi Germany and Japan, but I wonder this:
if our focus after the December attack was on Japan, but then we turned our attention to the Nazi regime, especially in France on D-Day, how is it any different than what our military is doing now?
Our original focus was on the attackers from 9/11, but the "ball was dropped" as Kerry said when we diverted our attention to Iraq. Interesting to me, though, there is much trouble in Iraq, but the media will not show any of the good sides of the war like children celebrating with U.S. soldiers (I have pics for those who do not believe me) or the new government being placed.
To me, a simple citizen with no real knowledge of such things, it appears to be quite similar. To sum it up, we are getting rid of a tyranny ( like the Nazi regime) which was aligned with the same attackers of our Twin Towers (like Japan to Pearl Harbor).
If you agree and are just as confused I encourage you to ask around. Ask your teachers, professors, anti-war friends. Be nice, kind, gentle, and loving though.
Have a good day all,
Josh

Ok, I just had a burst of energy. I'll be checking EVERY friend who has updated since my previous response. It will take some time but, hey, give me a break.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, it is now story time (everybody circle around and listen heh..)
This past weekend I learned of my father's childhood. He took me to Hickory Hollow mall, but afterwards we ended up over near Hermitage, then over by the Old Hickory lake and the DuPont plant. This also happens to be where he was raised through alot of his childhood. He showed me his old house, his favourite hangouts and most of what he hadn't seen in 40 years, and it was a shame of what had happened to it. Once grand and lush farmland was now vaccant, overgrown fields barracaded off from the public with long rusty fences. His old house now condemned and falling down; his favorite tree struck by lightning and incinerated, just leaving a hollow shell of the decaying tree. Afterwards, we drove through Mt. Juliet to Lebenon. We ate at the only Pizza Hut in their town, and It was great. This is because they still have the big dine in restaurant with the salad bar (totally awsome). Afterwards we took Cainsville Pike all the way back to lascassas. Cooincidentally I used to live in this road, and got to see my old house... well, where my house USED to be: its now just an empty feild and lot. It got tore down last year. It didn't matter, I guess. Its a shame how much we phisically we lost of our childhood, but in the same sense, my father and I just realized how great our lives have become and how lucky and appreciative we really are of what we got now.

Its a shame how much we phisically we lost of our childhood, but in the same sense, my father and I just realized how great our lives have become and how lucky and appreciative we really are of what we got now.
power failure
August 15 2005
*it stormed today for a little while... Mike was playing around... and decided to dare God (big mistake)... he said "Okay God... let's see what you got?!" and at that moment... guess what? the lights went out. they were out for like... i dunno... 30 minutes to an hour? we couldn't do anything... except stock... and the back cut lemons and stuff. i'm serious... we couldn't serve dinks b/c the fountain is somehow electrical... we couldn't keep the food heated... we couldn't ring stuff up... we couldn't do ANYTHING!
**so now i'm thinking back on it... and it hits me... just like Chick-fil-A has to rely on the power of electricity... we have to rely on the power of God... but you know what's awesome? God never has a power failure! His power supply is endless!!! isn't that amazing?! nothing is too big for Him!
*Jeremiah 32:27 "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?"

Moving Out
August 15 2005
So this is my last night in my house...weird. I feel like i am ripping 11 years of memories apart as I'm packing up my room! Man, I really hate change. A lot. I move into tomorrow so i hope that all goes well.
Oh yeah, today i had my interview at Eddie Bauer...and now im not so sure that i will like that job as much as i thought i would...
I'm not really sure if i got the job or not, the interview wasn't so smooth...
apparently you have to be good at picking people clothes out and making them match, or some crap like that...
why can't i just fold them and be friendly when people walk in...i would be so good at that.
I hope that things get normal again soon, i don't know how much longer i be able to handle this craziness!
Auf Wiedersehen!!

Too long of a day
August 15 2005
It has been too long of a day for me to describe it right now. I still have to get my notebooks organized, so I give my regards and love to my friends.
I'll update with a story later.
I'll update with a story later.
Batten down the hatches, make sure your trays are locked in the upright position, and hold on tight.
August 15 2005
It has begun.
The school year that will kick my ass.
[Well, the first one to kick my ass, anyways.]
To be perfectly honest, I'm terrified of the upcoming year.
Anyone else afraid of roller coasters? Well, have you ever finally psyched yourself up to ride a huge coaster that you'd normally be too scared to go on?
If you have then you'll know the feeling of how badly you want to prove yourself when you sit down and strap in and the ride starts. As the ride cranks up that first big slope, you start doubting yourself with every chink of the chain. Then you're at the top; you ease over. At the split second between easing over and plummetting down at light-speed you have the perfect view of what you've gotten yourself into:
And it just may be the most terrifying thing you've ever seen in your life.
Once you're past that split second, it's too late. You're free falling and then you're roaring around the track that has been laid out for you. You scream and cry and you're terrified. But before you know it, you come to a sudden stop. You're eased back to the loading dock. You're released until it's time for you to board the next thrill ride.
Just like that, the year's over.
You walk away thinking to yourself, "Well, that wasn't so bad."
Just keep telling yourself that until you once again find yourself looking straight down into your own academic oblivion.
. . . . ?
Ever get the impression that I take school to seriously?

back to school
August 15 2005
hey, we are all heading back to school and that means reading, writing, and everything else.
have no fear people...whenever you sit to read a book or write a paper remember this:
Josh Hornbaker is reading a total of 16 books and writing somewhere around 50 pages in papers, but he fears not because it's all worth it in the end.
so have fun, enjoy, and think of Christmas.

New Thing
August 15 2005
Okay, I am going to start something new, I think. At least for a little bit. I am going to give a daily fortune, either from myself (no likely) or from a previous fortunes cookie, or from the internet. This one today is one I found on the kitchen counter.
As soon as you feel too old to do a thing, do it...in bed.

Everyone is starting back to school this week which means that summer is just about over. 9 more days and it'll be over for good..
I've learned alot this summer..alot about myself and a whole lot more about other people and it's been fun.
Planned on having a cookout or party toward the end of the summer..and I wish I had put more thought/effort into it. I'm gonna miss you guys..especially Lyndi. I love you so much!
This has been the absolute best summer of my life. The first summer I can remember actually staying in town was unbelieveable. I've called the one or two weeks out of the summer I got to go to the beach or on vacation my "week of sanity" which means I was in contact with only one or two people from home and I didn't worry at all while I was gone. These past 3 months have made me realize that all that time I thought getting out of Murfreesboro was the best thing to do over the summer is absolutely crazy. This summer and everything that's happened will be hard to top..if ever topped.
Its hard to say how I feel right now. I'm so excited to be starting college but I'm scared of falling from my expectations. I'm gonna enjoy the football games and the parties but I'm gonna miss my family, friends, and most of all Lyndi. Too many emotions right now..
I always imagined leaving for college as me standing in front of my car..it packed to the brim with everything I could possibly need..saying goodbye to all those who wished to see me off. I'd get in the car, give one last little grin and wave, and drive off only to be seen again at Thanksgiving and Christmas..or when I needed laundry done, hehe.
Friday, the last day here, is going to be one with alot of emotion. Taking Brett to school. Breafkast with mom and dad, making sure everything is packed, sitting at home for a few hours letting it all sink in that I'm not a kid anymore while eating ice cream and playing some classic Nintendo, having a big dinner with the family, and being with Lyndi for as long as we can be together.
I sure am gonna miss this.
NCAA Football 2006 is so unbelieveably awesome..

And I would give the world to tell Your story
Cause I know that You've called me

I've lost myself for good within Your promise
I won't hide it
I won't hide it
Jesus, I believe in You and I would go
To the ends of the earth
To the ends of the earth
For You alone are the Son of God
And all the world will see
That You are God

The first full day of school. I think we'll do nothing in my early day and 6th period, serving as bookends to an otherwise insane schedule. And yes, I have Latin homework tonight. There is simply no justice. But Ms. Tinsley claims that homo doctus in se semper divitas habet. So what can you say?
I want some ice cream, please. Ben & Jerry's Half Baked with Chocolate Tornado.
Yessssss......I have Mr. York again for Etymology!! "I'll take up your homework whenever I feel like taking it up...and we'll be eating in here about once a week."

Is it that I don't listen, or is it that all the information I do have magically changes behind my back just to spite me?!

I'm done ranting now. I think there's a perfectly logical explanation for this.
If not...
Well, we're all human, aren't we?
But I bet is was my error, after all.

DBS, lifeway, and such things...
August 15 2005
so we filmed another lifeway video. this director had a very low creepy factor unlike the other one. good times. we met these cool guys. 4 from franklin, 1 from cincinatti. they were there filming with us. this video actually had a story line. it was hilarious.
i also got rushed for DBS. rush night was fun. and then we had a skating party, a swimming party, a video scavenger hunt (which included 16 people in an armada for a few hours.), and other so-called "sisterhood bonding" times. but sarah moore is my big sister whom i love very much, and we have oath night tonight.
schools okay i guess...actually its pretty good. i have good classes but i have to get one fixed because im trying out for either womens chorale or singers.
my head hurts, i think beacuse im really tired.
but i just thought i would update. i love you guys and ill talk to you later! leave me one.
