I won't. . .but i'm ready to come home

the roaches are crazy. they need to leave. like,now

and then, they are coming in under the door just as plain as day. . .as angel said. when did they start paying rent. she doesn't have her key, since when do they get to come in. . .

i invented sunglasses

edit//

obviously you guys arent at all interested that i invented sunglasses (even though i think it was a great invention)

so i guess ill talk about something new. the high school is rather large.

Well here is another blog. YAY. This one is mainly cause of Garrett Haynes.

Well... this is odd... yet another blog for me to be consumed with... oh well... they're entertaining.

i've been doing absolutely nothing really lately. bryan asked me to go swimming with him tonight but i cant go considering it's nine and lord knows how late i'd be out. but anywho

i slept today until 2:30 and been out of it ever since.

i've realized there's a lot of people from murfreesboro on here and like 4 from knoxville... kinda sad if i must say so myself. but hey, most people have a myspace or an xanga.... in which i have both.... i have a ton of people on xanga but about 10 on myspace since i am fairly new. maybe i can get some people on here... i alreayd have one from... guess where!!! MURFREESBORO! gosh i love that place. i'm always there... and plus, that's where my pony is! weee....

Last night was intensely fun! My plans changed about four times and I was vehicleless which made for an interesting combination.

I started out going to the stock car races at Nashville Fair Grounds Speedway. I rode with my dad, brother, sister, uncle, cousin, and grandpa. On the way it rained a little so when we got there, all the races were cancelled. Someone said the jet driers were at the superspeedway for the race today.

Since the race wasn't going to happen, I asked dad to drop me off at the Wildhorse Saloon. Some friends from AO were there (Nathan, Caroline, Jenee, Cathrine (Caroline's sister), Colleen, Mandy, Jenny, and Caroline's cousin. I met up with them and had a great time. We ate, drank (soft drinks :-) ), and danced. Well, some danced... others (me) attempted. It was a very fun time.

I rode with Nathan Mace back to the boro where he dropped me off at Don Pablo's where I could meet up with Justin V., the Bonin's, Sara, and a few others. We went to an old rock quarry pond. It was absolutely amazing! It was also a very long drop to the still water. When we threw big rocks in, you could see the ripple spread out across the whole pond.

After that, Justin V. and I headed over to Natalie and Mallory's house. We just hung out and had a good time. Listen to a few guys sing (they were pretty good). Then he took me home.

One thing that last night stirred up inside me and I haven't been able to stop thinking about since is relationships, particularly one's with girls. It's been almost nine months since I broke up with my girlfriend. When I realized that she was not the girl I was supposed to marry, I began to wean, so to speak, from her and her from me. Amazingly, in the nine months, things haven't totally settled down with that. I have learned from that experience that I'm definately not ready for a relationship, much less a serious one like that. However, I do like the companionship that came with the relationship. I don't know if it's healthy or not, but I liked it none the less.
Since I've broken up with her, I've tried to focus my energy on growing closer to Christ and closer to my friends. When I was dating, I realize now that I neglected a lot of my true friends. I'm now trying to nurish all my friendships and be a true friend to them. I want to be there for them, to listen, to laugh, to cry, whatever. This seems to fill the companionship void almost completely, but there's still a tiny hole. For example, it would've been nice to have a friend to join with on the dance floor at the Wildhorse. Lots to think about. Time to get back to work. We'll talk later.

yesterday was cool. i slept in, but thats only because i went to bed so late and i'm still kinda sick. but then thomas came over about 3:30 i guess and then david came over, then we went to the band performence. i got to say, they were pretty good. i miss, it, it was some good times in the band.

we went to spencers house and swam for a bit, but me and thom didnt swim cause we didnt have swim suits. then we went to my house and had a bon fire. alot of people came, then left. then brandon showed up and me and thom him chilled, that was cool. then whitney came over for a while. all in all, yesterday was alot of fun.

only one more week till college. actually, this time next week, we'll be movin in to the dorm. it's goin to be tight. anybody else think so? i hope i can hack it in college. shouldnt be a problem.

I guess I know who my true friends are. You all know who you are and I love you all!!!

so when people say things about my friends, i take it really personally. yes, i may need to find better friends, but knowing all the people i know, some of them are bound to drink once in a while...so, the next time you judge me or my friends...well, dont...

if its a bad situation, you might as well make the best of it and laugh

1. doing doughnuts in the mtsu parking lot with lauren

2. finding a skirt for $8 at old navy

3. cherry slushies from sonic

4. saturdays, when it rains

5. laughing at lauren saying inappropriate things

all in all its good to be home, meet new people, and have new experiences. not too deep but that was what was on my mind.

me: did i ever tell you about stanley?
cam: no...is he hot?
me: no, stanley is a turtle!!!

so i couldn't think of a creative title. the past couple of days have been lazy. i finished my summer class on thursday and finished work at the nashville opera last night. i feel so liberated!!! i wanted to dance for joy last night after work - never again will i have to set foot in that place and call people!!! WOOHOO!!! i will have a life again! but my marky mark is leaving for KY for grad school and his going away party is tonight...i am very sad! he enriches my life so much! but he'll be back to visit so it's ok. i got my hair cut today...it's really short! it kinda looks like monica's even though that was not my intention...oh well - sorry for stealing your haircut mon!! well, sex and the city is calling my name so i must go....cya after chicago!!!!

OMG! Today was amazing! We met soooooo many famous tennis stars! I'll start at the beginning. First we arrived in Cincinnati at 9 am. We got there an hour before the first match so that we could look around and stuff. Lana and dad ate and I ate a banana as we watched some guys warm up. One of them was sooo hot. It ended up that those two guys would be playing in the match we watched. We cheered for Gilles Simon (a really hott guy from France) who ended up winning. I was happy for him since he is like 11 seeded and really young. He looked about 19. Later while outside Centercourt I went up to him and asked for his autograph. He seemed really shocked and said (in French) that he did not speak English, lol. I'm so mad I didn't get a picture cause he was hott! haha. Next we just waited around so we could get player autographs. I didn't think that all the top guys would be there but to my surprise everyone but Nadal and Agassi were there. I got tons of autographs on my program. Some of the people I don't know but here are the ones I got:
Andy Roddick (omg, he is sooo hott in person), Jonas Bjorkman, Juan Ignacio Chela, Tim Henman (amazing!), Alberto Martin, Ricardo Mello, Tommy Haas, and Sebastien Grosjean. Here are some people who I saw but didn't get autogaphs: I stood about 2 feet away from ROGER FEDERER and we watched him practice but he wasn't giving autogrphs. Lleyton Hewitt was there but I don't think I saw him, Justin Gimelstob was there, and I saw Thomas Johansson. It was like the best tennis related day ever and I cannot believe the people I saw. I'll have pictures up soon. I only have them of Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, and Haas mainly. My camera wasn't working during the first match or I would have a picture of Simon, who is now on of my favorite players but I can't believe he couldn't understand me, haha. Well, I'll talk to everyone later!
-Dana :)

so i just finished putting my new ikea bed together, and i found it surprisingly easy to put together, so i figured i would make fun of nathan a bit because he had a lot of trouble with his bed.

yah, well i was on the last step and i realized i had done step 2 backwards, so i went back and turned around the beams and screwed them back in only to realize that i had put one of the beams in the entirely wrong place, so i had to go back again and change everything around. but i did finish it. and it is beautiful.

the moral of the story: never decide to mock your friends until you are completely finished.

Surrender All by Crosse Clay
(Take a minute and read)
I have wrestled in the darkness of this lonely pilgrim land
Raising strong and mighty fortresses that I alone command
But these castles I've constructed by the strength of my own hand
Are just temporary kingdoms on foundations made of sand
In the middle of the battle I beleive I've finally found
I'll never know the thrill of victory 'til I'm willing to lay down
All my weapons of defense and earthly strategies of war
So I'm laying down my arms and running helplessly to Yours
Chorus:
I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams
Though the price to follow costs me everything
I surrender all my human soul desires
If sacrifice requires
That all my kingdoms fall
I surrender all
If the source of my ambition is the treasure I obtain
If I measure my successes on a scale of earthly gain
If the focus of my vision is the status I attain
My accomplishments are worthless and my efforts are in vain
So I lay aside these trophies to pursue a higher crown
And should You choose somehow to use the life I willingly lay
down
I surrender all the triumph for it's only by Your grace
I relinquish all the glory, I surrender all the praise
Bridge:
Everything I am, all I've done, and all I've known
Now belongs to You, the life I live is not my own
Just as Abraham laid Isaac on the sacraficial fire
If all I have is all that You desire
I surrender all

These lyrics pretty much wrap up the point of surrendering ourselves to God. The line between becoming Christ's disciple or the world's lays at your feet everyday. God asks you to give up your plans so that he can create in us a heart that comes straight from Him. In my experiences, I've noticed that I have set up this wall of refusal in different chambers of my heart. Do you do that? What's crazy is that I set them up because I'm afraid of what it might be like after God changes them. But WHEN HAS HE EVER LED ME ASTRAY?? God only has amazing intentions for my life and for yours. We shouldn't allow our intentions to get in the way of what God has for us. Do you desire for an unquenchable passionate fire in your heart? We just need to go to the foot of the cross, and surrender the chambers of our heart. The ending result will be eternal, something our desires could never fulfill....

I clicked on the "what does your name mean" link on Drew's Phusebox and tried it out myself. The box was being stupid so I decided to just type it out what it said. I think it's quite hillarious:

AMY
A is Adventurous
M is for Mysterious
Y is for Yummy

To my PTT peeps... I got the Shawn McDonald CD! Now I can "na na" all the time!!!

Hey guys, this seems to be the popular thing right now. So I figured what the heck, i'll give it a try. So these were my results.

GARRETT
G is for Godlike
A is for Arty
R is for Romantic
R is for Rare
E is for Elegant
T is for Trendy
T is for Talented

First of all i'm def. not Godlike or arty...but as for the other ones....

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

Hey! I'm new to phusebox...if you could help me figure out like codes and stuff that would be great thanks guys ♥

So I have officially decided that this was the best band camp I've ever had, even better than freshman year. But I'm still glad it's over. I'm really tired.

I got my senior pictures done at 9:30 this morning. I thought I was going to get to sleep in. But no. I got up at the same time I've been getting up all week. And to do something that I absolutely hate. Curse cameras. (You know they steal your soul)

And now I have to go back to my calculus summer work. I really wish I had done this earlier. There are much more interesting things I could have been doing this weekend.

. . . uh, whipped cream, sir.

Who comes to starbucks and doesn't know what the "white stuff" is?

I went on an outing with Cameron and Aimee earlier. We hit Starbucks, Party City, TJ Maxx, Target, and the mall. Aimee leaves tomorrow morning. Kaylei leaves the day after. Zach goes in a couple of weeks. Matt and Shannon left for UT a couple of days ago, I believe. Laura has been in Florida for almost a week. As exciting as starting college is, the whole friends thing going off is kind of getting to me.

We are playing Tallhoma hopefully we do good but the starts at 6 at oakland yall should come and watch it should be good I hope. Well g2g I have to go make some money later

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

i think bethany dillon said it best in her song, beautiful:

"i want to be beautiful
and make you stand in awe
look inside my heart
and be amazed
i want to hear you say
who i am is quite enough
i just want to be worthy of love
and beautiful"

yeah, that pretty much describes it. a longing deep inside me and most girls. too many times we search for approval of our beauty in the world. and many times our definitions for beauty are set by the world's standards. in growing closer to my Creator and reading 'captivating', i am learning about beauty. "every woman has a beauty to unveil. because she bears the image of God...beauty is an essence that is given to EVERY woman at her creation ." how awesome is that?! that quote would be from captivating, but the bible is full of God little messages to us as well.

"show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely" -songs of songs 2:14

"you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes" -songs of songs 4:9

"the King is enthralled by your beauty; honor Him, for he is your Lord" -psalm 45:11

God loves us and finds us captivating. He thinks we beautiful beyond compare. you are, indeed, loved and pursued by the Creator of the Universe. and when you begin to draw close to him, seeking after His heart, he will unveil your beauty. "true beauty comes from the inner parts of us. our hearts". God will illuminate your heart with joy, compassion, and love. your beauty will show through. a great verse for this is, "they looked to him and were RADIENT", go to him with your longing and question of beauty. He is the greatest lover, and the One who whispers the things you long to hear.

that is just something God has been laying on my heart. you are beautiful, you are loved. always remember that. i hope everyone has a fantastic day!

I find it kind of funny that when you take on a massive cleaning project, you usually end up with a bigger mess than you began with. Mon plancher pauvre!

I think a prayer and struggle I've had for a long time is finally being answered and helped. I've really come to possess a much higher level of self-control. I find it much easier to resist temptation. Not just the temptation to sin - though that's a large part of it - but also such temptations as eating poorly and being lazy. This is most welcome, God, thank You.



I have a very weird mind. I'd say I'm half poet, half intellectual, and those two halves don't get along very well. Some days the world is a metaphor and the sky is beautiful and I'm interospective and pensive, and then the next day I'm a cynic trying to understand the complexities of life and being oh so logical and analytical. And I argue with myself and contradict myself and I've still yet to decide which half of me will win.

La vie est belle?

La vie est tragique?

Ou tous les deux?





I think after using all this French I may have to actually learn the language. That or Italian. I'll keep you posted.

later

My Luckey died last night. I miss her so much. She was more than just our dog, she meant everything to all of us! I knew it was coming when I went to visit her yesterday at the vet before i went to work, but i still dont want it to be true. She was the best dog anyone could ever have. Right up till the end, she was faithful to us all and loved us as much as we loved her! I miss my sweet girl, Luckey!

well-- this week has been fantabulous! tuesday morning i got rushed for dbs at like.. 1:30 in the morning! i was so so tired. tonight im going to steak'n'shake with some amazing kids.. then im going to meredith walkup's house for a pool party, scavenger hunt and a sleepover. woohoo!! sunday is the mother- daughter tea and monday is oath night. im super excited. but aside from that, i CANNOT believe school starts monday. =( it was good to see everybody again. i have a great schedule, but the actual "school" part of it.. eh. oh well, gotta start sometime. i had the best summer .. OF MY LIFE!! (haha ben) love yall.

....."And you said I know that this will hurt: But if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse: If the burden seems too much to bear: Remember: The end will justify the pain it took to get us there"

Pretty awesome song I must say!! And I really believe...or actually know that in a little less than 7 weeks this will be a song that will help me out! Because my heart is about to be broken!!! I will be broken!! And God will be the only one I can absoultly lean on!! I can't say I'm looking foward to being broken....does anyone really?! lol! But I am looking foward to having that time with God!! And just being able overcome some things in my life! For a while I was afraid of being totally changed....I mean to absoultly let go of my life....but now....I am ready!!! And something I realized last night...before falling asleep I've became lazy in my walk! You know when you can just feel something isn't right and you can't put your finger on it...but at the same time your so tired of feeling that way!? Well God points out to me that I've been lazy!! And confirmed what He said to be this morning in Hewbrews..." We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised " ......so yes, God told me that and He also let me know that it's ok, just to work on getting back into the race!! Course that's another thing God's working on me with! I know I try to hard to please Him...for Him to be happy with me! But I know He already is! But I guess my mind-set is..that I want to be perfect for Him(and I know I can't) but I just try and try because I just want to do anything I can for Him! But God is trying to tell me to REST in Him...rest and not be lazy!! And another thing He's going to heal me from is doubt! All kinds of doubt! That's a big struggle for me! I came accross some notes the other day, in my Bible, and it said," Even when I doubt myself, God doesn't " And that just made me smile!! Cause even though I really struggle with self-doubt....God doesn't doubt me!! WOW!!
Anyways ya'll!! I gotta go!! My family from Virginia just pulled up! lol!! Take care! I love ya'll!!

Amber: "you're the warrior that i've been waiting for!!! you're my defender!" :o)

Mom : "Man, he's got his motorcycle PiMpEd out."
Me: (laughs hysterically)

*hmm... guess i don't have that much to say... my daddy went to the hospital this morning... i slept through it all... my cousin called earlier to tell me he can take me to work if i need him to... so he told me about it... something about my dad hurt his back... so i dunno... but i think he'll be okay..

*yesterday me and mom went shopping for another formal... i found a pretty one that goes great w/ the shrugg mom made for the othe formal. yay!!! i'm set!!! it was fun just to spend some time w/ mum... i know that this whole college thing is hard on her... but i know she'll be okay... she told a friend of ours that when we were all kids she told herself that we were all "visitors"... haha... i got the biggest kick out of it! how did she know my brother was really an alien?! i mean... i took me a few year to catch on to that one. lol ;) anyways... i need to shut up and go.. love you guys! ~Hope

::::EDIT:::: Tomorrow I'm auditioning for Christopher Fry's play, The Lady's Not for Burning. Any prayers involving "the role of Jennet" and "Kelly" would be highly appreciated. :) ;D [That and prayers that I can pull off high school, college, work, faires, and this play. It's going to be an interesting first semester, that's certain.] :::: DEATH OF EDIT ::::

Holy crepes! I haven't been able to get on here in a freakishly long time. Accept my mostly humble apologies.

Okay, everyone else is doing this, so I guess I might as well. Group mentality is fun, no?

Schedule
1.] Government -- Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh
2.] A.P. English IV -- Already Mrs. Wolff is threatening to chuck markers at Chris. She has bad aim. I sit in front of Chris. BUT.... We're reading two of Shakespeare's works. I'm quite elated.
3.] A.P. European History -- I find it highly amusing that the tranquility ended as soon as we walked in the door and staked out our corner from last year. We're studying predominantly the Renaissance. This proves that this is in fact the Year Of Kelly. I had spasms of joy when Mr. Bryant mentioned our focus.
4.] Environmental Science -- Gahhhhhhhhhhhh
5.] Honours Statistics -- Shall be dropped for bigger and better things. Like Intensive Conversational French.
6.] Aide?!!! Do see above.

Fast tracks were then made to Fazoli's, where we cracked more jokes than were healthy [all of them quite horrible to hear] and ate a significant dent into their breadstick supply. Then Kyle and I decided to pay a visit to the Espresso Shelf on the square. This would have been great, if the place hadn't decided to close for days on end [which prompted me to kneel in a spare parallel parking spot and say something along the lines of, "Why, God? Why?!"] "....What was that you said about the Clay Cup??" Mmm, chai. Excursions to Enchanted Planet ["Put the preserved tarantula down. NOW."] and various jaunts around the historic division of Murfreesboro ensued. After a healthy retaliation to provocation involving the fountain outside Linebaugh Library, I am now fearful of my life. That is all I can say on the matter. Even the walls have ears. *Paranoid shifty eyes*

I learned how to close at work last night, speed version so we could get to some random party. It wasn't a party so much as a bunch of twentysomething scene kids standing around with red plastic beer cups, but hey. [Jeff will feel my wrath, though. He was the only person I knew there, or would have been if he hadn't left so early. Eurg.] Oh well. At least I met Hunter, a lovely lad who I shall unfortunately probably never see again.

I'm rambling. This does nobody any good. Why am I so out of things? Oh right -- no morning coffee. *Weeps*
....And where the hell is everybody??

I'm off to prevent the dogs from breaking down the door. That or the kittens from inadvertently committing suicide. It's difficult to tell which. Ciao!

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

In lieu of recent events...the mourning period is over. I want to date again.I need a cute boy, one that enjoys acting on impulse. because that would be great.


I'm putting out a request. Someone take me on a date. (: kiss me on the forehead. Build sandcastles with me. Go to hastings and just sit down and talk to me. Do something for god sakes.

Now, for some lyrics. They make me really really happy. ♥


In one fell swoop it became clear to me,
that I despise you entirely,
but the good news is I'm gonna keep you around
And so your lust is just convenient now

Crack open a bottle of red
Let's toast to this here bed
Offer up your hand
My one night, two month, three year stand

And all at once it became clear to me,
that you're allergic to honesty
And you don't even have a friend around
And so my lust is just convenient now

I'm on my knees,
but so are you
Unfortunately for the wrong reasons
I keep incessantly believing that you're pure,
but you know it's not true

There's nothing wrong with being lonely


___________________________________

I think he likes me... and If I play my cards right.. we might get to hang out tomorrow.

There once was a dog
Who sat on a log.
There once was a cat
who got really fat.
There once was a fish
who floated in a dish.
There once was a bee
who just watched t.v.
There once was you
who read this piece o poo.

Yeserday, when I checked RELEVANTMAGAZINE.COM, which has come to be a daily read of mine, I was surprised to see their red flame logo in the center of the page with the text AUGUST 12, 2005 underneath.

Was the site redesign finally here? Was Relevant finally going to unveil what was suppose to origianlly go live at the beginning of April? After the Relevant community waited for the new version of the site to arrive at each of the miscalculated launch dates, was it finally time.

I looked forward to this ever since the beggining of the year when RELEVANTMAGAZINE.COM placed a countdown at the top of the page, counting the seconds until the new site launch, which was originally going to be sometime at the beginning of April. Relevant has always impressed me with their sleek, clean, non-cluttered web design. In fact, when we redesigned belleaire.org, we looked at RELEVANTMAGAZINE.COM as an example of what we wanted.

Last night, I checked the site again before I went to bed at around 1:00 AM. The logo was still there... disappointment. And the date had been taken off. The text simply read, "TONIGHT." Uh oh. Was Relevant pulling another one of their now-famous miscalculated launches?

I woke up this morning to a complete redesign of the Relevant site. Mmmmmm... Disappointment. The site looks like any other flashy website out in cyberspace. They might as well have tapped into an artist section and create another PureVolume site. Seriously.

The top menu on the newly released site is created in Flash and is surprisingly easy to navigate, and it does not go overboard on the flash. However, the rest of the main page is cluttered, trying to fit everything into a space constrained by about 900 pixels. It reminds me of the collage of colorful ads posted on New York City's sidewalk billboards. Where do you begin to find content? I get lost in the search fields and newletter sign-up boxes and the large flashy ads and the text sqeezed into some small box at the corner of the page.

Relevant, you have disappointed me. The only thing that I am excited about in the new launch is the Relevant Podcast. This is a great addition to the content in the bi-monthly Relevant print magazine.

All in all, the site is nice, do not get me wrong! It just is not set apart from any other site that has a flashy interface. Also, the site is designed for widescreen monitors, so, if you have a regular monitor, expect to see that annoying horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of your browser.

I am already awaiting the next facelift for the site, but that will probably not show itself until 2012 (and Relevant will claim to be ready for launch in 2008).

Keep up the good work, Relevant. You provide a great print magazine and I am excited about the new podcast, but go back to the simple, easy-to-use, design, please.

so yep...heh...well i guess this is
probably the dumbest post i've writtin
in a while so i'm gunna go

:same as xanga :
so, it has been a while since I last updated.
Well, band camp just ended, and we did a lot of stuff through all the sweat, heat, and everything else. I got to know some of the freshies. tehe. I love getting to say that now.
I liked this guy....but, guess wat.....he has a girlfriend now. Every time I like a guy, he always has to have a girlfriend. geez. I guess it wouldn't have worked out anyway.......
Omg. So I came home last night, and my insulin pump site thing was hurting so I looked at it, and it was really bruised, and I was like OMG WHAT IS WRONG. This has never happened before. So, I changed it out and when I took it off, it was like it had killed all the tissue around it...I don't know what happened, but it wasn't good....
Then, I wake up at 7 o'clock this morning because my bloodsugar was low (I guess that was a good thing) and I had a headache. So, I went back to bed. Then, wat wakes me up the next time??? The grass blower right outside my window. lovely. just lovely. So, I am up here telling ya'll about it. hehe.
So, this weekend, I have to buy a calculator, do my english reports, read spark notes, clean my room, and.......there's prolly more, but o well.
Well, that is about all that has happened. Well, maybe not, but I don't want to type about it. hehe. so I guess I'm gonna go. I love you.

i think i am about to loose it officially... well, i think i already officially lost it.... perhaps i will again. cried again last night;but it DID make me feel better..... i hope i can get out of THIS phase quick...

so-at 2:00 in the morning, (i had only been in bed like 10 mins.) my dad knocks on my door and asks if he can open it.... he does and then he's like," umm.... yea.... i dont know how to say it w/out being corny...but i am really going to miss you when you are gone. i love you. do you thin maybe tomorrow night or something we could go somewhere special; just you and me? " .....this was a big step for dad i do believe... it meant a lot....


well, im in bell buckle running the store all by myself again... perhaps it will go by quickly... i can only hope.

comment people... COMMENT!

maybe not the best, but it's up there.
I love band camp. and my schedule. and I made 4th period band! and ultimate frisbee last night was amazing. and we did an awesome job on performing, as in we didn't mess it up again. and we got to play layla in rock band. so good. so many jokes. this year should be amazing. God Bless.

band camps over and i miss it already!

today is the study session with crutch and caitlin, we are working on our summer reading work.

btw, i found out im a grafitti artist, woot?

look at title and know pain

My dad is 50 today.

I'm thinking that this change of weather hasn't been such a good thing. I think my asthma is acting up because i've been coughing for what seems to be no particular reason since about the 2nd day I was here. and I don't like it. So my mom is sending me a breathing machine.yay!

I'm going to Disney-MGM today. that's exciting. finally getting off my bootie and doing something. that calls for another YAY!

I think that's about it. We finally have a wireless router in our apartment, I think the people whose we were using moved out yesterday, and it caused grief when Samantha and I couldn't get online. . .but Angel could, b/c she's just special like that. ..and has a desktop computer rather than a laptop

you can see Samantha's costume to the right in my pictures. . .it'll be a LONG time till you see mine. . .

friends are funny

drunk friends are funnier

drunk friends who want to make out w/ you are funniest...

especially when they devise a plan for you to sneak out a window and come to make out w/ them...of course none of this would be happening if he was sober, but it was funny...

Love Through Christ
~Rachel~

it's late friday night/early saturday morning...however ya want to look at it. i spent all day friday alone in my apartment. no, please don't pity me, it was wonderful! God is amazing and is always speaking, just sometimes it's hard to hear. i posted the verses psalm 27:13-14. in most places but especially here in the city, it's easy to get caught up in the idea that things have to be moving forward constantly or nothing will happen. sometimes God calls us to just wait. wait for the Lord . another verse i came across dealing with this is isaiah 30:18. it says:

yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;
He rises to show you compassion.
for the Lord is a God of justice.
blessed are all who wait for Him !

i have good plans for myself. but God has the best plan for me if i will just wait for the Lord . i have to wait . i need to wait . i want to wait . i can wait because God is in control.

goodness i am tired. i worked from 7:30-5:30. l-o-n-g day. but thankfully, after about 2 weeks of not being able to, i was able to hang out with some of my friends! yay for applebee's, the park, great people, and great music. yay for summer nights and moments when you feel infinite. oh oh and i got to hang out with my maddie!!! i am so happy to hang out with her again!

some highlights of MY night:
-getting in a boat and going to never never
land
-allowing others to hear great music such as:
{something corporate
andy davis
alexi murdoch
coldplay (till kingdom come!)}
-being an airplane
-wearing a fun belt
-listening to praise music at the park, knowing
God is all around us
-knowing my tears will one day be wiped from
my face.
-and kowing that my God finds me captivating,
and tells me through all kinds of things...when i
need to hear it most, when i need to know i
matter, when know one else seems to
understand, when i am being a silly girl-full of
emotions and inner turmoil, when i feel like i
can't do anything right, when i feel alone, the
God of the universe wants me. He tells me the
things i long to hear.


so yeah, pretty cool night. yeah, it may not be cafe lalo, or new york city (jk jk), but it was fun.

i hope everyone has a great night!

i sure like that edit button...

i know, you are extremely jealous that you weren't there. aw. poor baby.

well i guess im going to try this thing and see how i like it. im really bored today i didnt do much my cousin came over and we just chilled for a while then i went to my dads house. school starts in 3days god thats going to suck but it should be fun! tomorrow is the st. joes picnic thats going to be tight as hell, im excited. in 22 days we kick uk's ass once again! i cant wait haha sid uk sucks and we all know it!!

left my fear by the side of the road
hear you speak and won't let go
fall to my knees as i lift my hands to pray
got every reason to be here again
the Father's love draws me in
and all my eyes wanna see is a glimpse of You.


all i need is You
all i need is You, Lord
is You, Lord

one more day and it's not the same
Your spirit calls my heart to sing
drawn to the voice of my Saviour once again
where'd my soul be without Your Son
gave His life to save the earth
rest in the thought that You're watching over me

all i need is You
all i need is You, Lord
is You, Lord
all i need is You
all i need is You, Lord
is You

You hold the universe
You hold everyone on earth
You hold the universe
You hold, yeah You hold

-------

That sums it all up, my hearts cry. Whenever i feel my focus start to slip away, the Father's love draws me in. The past couple days have been fun, and God is showing me that his plans are not always my plans and his ways are not my ways. Even though it may be a while before things turn out like i hope they will (and that may never happen), I know that God is moving and alive here and speaking into our hearts through it all...and in the end thats what matters...him being glorified above all. Above the plans and the issues and the emotions, that everything points back to him. And it does, and it feels right.

I am SO glad band camp is over...even though i am grounded but long story.

Rhody is such an A** but those who know it is not going to end.

I AM Marching people.. ok

much luv, ashely

These things are great.
-Talk to people you normally wouldnt get to talk to much.
-Tell people who dont care about your problems
-Give you something to do before bed.

These things are so much better than those stupid xanga diary sites.

Yall rock on the comment-o-meter.

Yeah, pretty sure my brother was paying for our high-speed, so now that he's gone....my wonderful, click-and-it's-there, mondo-fast internet is goooooone. *tear*

Band camp really wasn't so bad. Our music for our performance really wasn't that bad (i'm so proud of my freshman!!!) but I know a couple of my lines could have been a loooooot better. So we'll see. Dude, we already have like 40 sets down....that's almost all of last year's show.

I like my schedule, so far....they switched my alg/trig early day math to a regular class because of size, and completely dropped my world history, which I need, unlike the math. So....I'm trying to drop the math, get my world history in like it's supposed to be, and the best part? I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE EARLY DAY ETYMOLOGY!!! Yeah, pretty sure i've been wanting to take that class....yeah, i'm a dork, but I really think it sounds cool.....

See you muffins later!

ok so ronnie and i have been fighting a little lately but all is good. he is going ot get a computer soon so that will be good. but oh well. got to go.

Well...its official. I am back in the 'boro. Moved in and all. Its a fantastic little house w/ 5 other roommates...yep, 5. Meaning 6 total. Its like a frat house w/o the rituals...and the letters. So...its pretty much been confirmed...I am destined to be in NYC next summer for TLJ's summer internship. Paperwork and all that jazz has not yet been completed, but its getting there. I owe alot to this decision to my June visit to the city. Its so great to have complete peace on an issue, ya know. Well this next school year is going to be thrilling...16 hours, YoungLife, a job, some hopeful acting work, and my personal search for a more intimate understanding of Christ. I love it, though. I would much rather have every minute of every day consumed w/ something to do...I seem to discover more about myself and what God wants for me through all the hustle and bustle. So its all good. By the way, we just got cable in my house...so that means internet. So, I am actually going to be able to use my computer to get on the internet...do you know what this means??? More pics to load...and I'm sure Nathan loves that. Well...I am out of things to say...so God bless.

I've had a fun week. Wednesday, I removed stumps. Yesterday and today, I refinished the driveway. It looks good now. I'm tired, but who cares? This all reminds me of my summers as a little boy out in Colorado. I wanted so badly to grow up, now I wish I could be at that place in my life again. So carefree.

In other news, I got my bill from MTSU today. I almost had a heart attack. Luckily they only want half right now, but that's still quite a chunk of change.

I wonder about the state of the world sometimes. Mostly, when it hits me in the face. My mother got dropped from Tenncare. Tenncare's demise was an accumulation of greedy pharmacutical companies, their ties with pushing antidepressants onto any shmo who shows sign of anxiety: just ask my mother. My mother's doctor visits are still covered by whats left of Tenncare, but she has to pay for her medicines. She's in no trouble, but I start thinking about people who depend on these medicines to function and live an ordinary life. Heck, even to live. People commonly dissmiss it as the "equal opportunity" schlock, but they soon forget that not everybody is smart enough to get white-collar job, and not everybody can make 200 grand a year and live in a 2 story house with all the works. I hate it. I hate it so much when I see people living legitimate lives as best as they can suffer just because of a few bills passed through an government office.

this is kinda boring to me now. no one ever remarks and i always forget to come check it. so i think im done with phusebox for now..=)byee.

Just seeing what this is all about
i'll keep you cuhrazy kids updated!

i am still confident of this:
i will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
wait for the Lord ;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord .

It's been awhile since i updated my phusebox! SORRY! I have been kinda busiy and have had nothing important to but down! Well, last sunday i had to say stuff about passport in church! I was so nervous but i did ok! Well i am pertty busiy with field hockey and gettin ready for school...now i have a few partys i am going to and yeah! I have been keepin in touch with my friends from passport who are the coolest ppl! Yeah ohh i never said thanks nat for listenin to mer that thursday! Well, once school starts and church starts up again i will have a hactive life including field hockey! Well summer was great and yeah!!

I love to write. When I can write without stopping for quite a while, it's a good feeling for me. Now what can stink about writing, however, is that you can spend a long time doing it and by the end of it you realize that what you just finished pouring yourself into is a piece of crap that should be burned and never spoken of again. That was yesterday.

And then there's today. That's when you write a while, dream and plan of what you may write in the future, and realize that's it's pretty good. It's being inspired and seeing a vision in your mind. The only thing that stinks about today's writing is that I am totally ripping off Little Women and making it modern day and giving characters new names. I can't help it though. I truley believe that Little Women is the single greatest novel ever about young women and what they should be.

But I don't just want to write the story. I want to make it a movie

That, my friends, is one of many reasons why I am majoring in media production and minoring in English.

I get to see the greatest high school marching band in Tennessee perform tonight... at least they better still be the greatest! ;-)

hey u guy well im writeing in this thing cuz im bored and sum loser told me i need a real entry lol jp well i guess this is kinda real.

What Part of Thanksgiving Are You?


Oh yeah. Got my schedule fixed! Didn't even have to sign a single form. Apparently if you're a reasonably good student, the administrators are just like, "Yeah, okay."

WOOHOOO!

Teacher's aide fourth period for Col. Rector.

APUSH 6th Period with Mr. Huffman a.k.a. "Huff-daddy."

Now I need to go get lunch. Far East! WHEE!

boy... my schedule is soooo messed up. but it'll get cleared up eventually

HECK YESS!!!! i get a night away from the family and i get paid!! YESS!!! i am so happy!! i am babysitting the best kids in the world!! YAY! anywho....

most the people there are preps
goodness...

bummer...
well thats is for today...

B.

I have uploaded some of my favorite pics. Be sure to look at them and tell me which ones you like best. Most of them are outdoor because my indoor ones didn't turn out so well.

i went to band camp yesterday with heath. i saw brittney for like the second time this summer. that was fun. heath and brittney left for UT yesterday and alex left today. i hope they dont die at band camp.

rachel,amy, and elizibeth gave me a cake for my going away present. it was awesome. whitney came over late last night and ate some of it with me. then we watched tv.

i feel like i've wasted today,i mean i've only been up for two hours, but still, i havent been very productive.

everyone here in town started school yesterday, suckers. just kiddin. kyle called me and i have to send an email to UT housing and that way we can get everything worked out before we go up there.

piece

wow I haven't written in here in a while. I've been pretty busy getting stuff together to move in to the dorm on Monday!

*sighs* It's bitter-sweet. I'm gonna miss Murfreesboro and all of the friends and memories I've made here.But I will be back to visit quite a bit...it's a good thing I'm not going far far away to like Harding University in Arkansas, because I think I'd be quite homesick if I did that.
Well with school starting and with starting in another city with new people and all it has gotten me a little nervous but I am very excited. I was quite worried and nervous at one point this summer but now I'm not so fearful. Today I was reading in Isaiah and I saw this passage and it just calmed my spirits all over again about college and everything....

"So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

well that's all I have right now. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! -Kaylei

Hello to all Belle Aire youth (and graduates). I've finally had some time to download my pictures from the last night I was there. I would love to keep in touch with you all. I will try and write on here how things are going over here in NC. So far, things are going pretty good. I've gotten all moved into my apartment and have started my job - which I love:) and its nice now that Josh is here too. He's starting his job next week and seminary the week after that. God is continuing to work in us and guide us as we seek out His purpose for us here. We are looking for a church right now and have found one that we really like. Please pray that we will follow God as He leads. Thanks, and keep in touch:)
