It's my last day.
I just wanna know you still care.
I fly out tomorrow for 20 days [or forever.] Let's take a guess and I'll be back once more to say another goodbye to my good friend Glenn. After that, who knows.
I love you and I'm sorry for every damn thing.

pray for me. things are so confusing right now. I know God will get me through it though. He is all I need.

If you haven't heard go to cnn.com and find out about the bombings that occured today in London.

Hi! I have been busy the past few days! How was church last night? I wanted to go but i had to help out a friend! I heard the food was good! I also heard that the Concert rocked!

Well i have to pack and clean out my car and clean up around the house!

I heard this saying today and i thought it was the cutest thing:

Party Hard, Rock 'N' Roll were the class you can't control. The guys are hunks, the girls are chicks were the class of 2006!

Then i revised it to make it fit my school! You will understand if you know where i am from!

Party Hard, Rock 'N' Roll were the class you can't control. The guys are hunks, the girls are HICKS were the class of 2006!

Yall tell me what you think!

Ali May

no way! i don't feel that old, and i desperately want to be cool. jk. hopefully my super smart hubby can help me figure this out. i just can't keep my thoughts to myself any longer. i wouldn't want to deprive the world of such things.

I obviously have nothing better to do than update my sites and e-mail people...and do these "isLove Generators"...ah...well, life is only as boring as we make it. Like now for instance-I'm only bored because I'm not making an attempt to do something of interest. Like jumping off the roof or something...I don't know...
But I tell you what pisses me off. London was pretty much attacked this morning. Innocent people died. Very soon, there isn't going to be any safe places anywhere. People are going to be afraid to go anywhere or do anything...just like they are in Israel now. Except it will be worldwide.
It's a scary thought.

Yeah so I went to the toby mac concert yesterday and it was so cool let me tell you one of his dancers did a flip! off the speaker it was so cool and the rapping and the songs they did were just so much fun.. I went with ben, olivia, alex, and his mom and it was so coool because It started raining and his mom was like hey If you guys wanna stay I will get wet with you so we got to stay... and then today I just got back from running errands and I pretty much am home for the rest of the day because I have been gone every night this week and my mom wants me to stay home tonight so I guess I will be here all day but besides that i hope everyone has a great rest of the day and god bless

camping was pretty miserable....rained every day, tent got flooded, decided to come home early
leave for m-fuge at 6 on saturday, hope i meet some really cool people, and have a good time

this is kinda stupid...

my spoon is too big. my SPOON is too big. my SPOON is too BIG!

and You said
"I know this will hurt,
but if I don't break your heart,
things will just get worse."

i am very saddened. not only because of my situation, but the situation of the others involved. but i am afraid it is out of my hands. i am relinquishing my hold...and if people want things fixed, they are going to have to come to me. i cannot keep running after them. i only have so much stamina. i am here to talk, but i will not try to initiate anymore. oh how i long for them to come to me....

please don't let a misunderstanding ruin what we have

~remy zero


oops.


dci is soon. fun.

I need to write again... I'll edit this later and right more. But for now, leave comments!

So, this is my edit!

Work today was amusing. I spilt an entire gallon of paint on me. They had to pressure wash me off. It sucked... and was really wet.

Me and Kelly Jo went to The Underground and to Hastings today. I saw Rachel Rounion and some others. It was cool.

Thats about all, so, I'm going to go. Dont do drugs!!!!

i'm nearly done with these dumb classes!! i just took one final and i'm sure i did oh so well on it...or something. actually i'm mad at this class because i've had a surprising streak of As for a while now and i think this is the class that will ruin it for me. stupid class. but anyway, i have another final in a couple of hours then i'll be done! yahooooo! and then tomorrow i'm going home. yay for home! oh how i miss it. it's gonna be tons of fun. well it's time for me to go study. and when i say study, i mean eat.

I love my boyfriend, but boys are stupid. They are clueless, girls. They have no idea. If you want something to be done or NOT done, you really have to just tell them. They can't read your mind, and they can't just magically understand everything. I think that if you learn this, your life with men will be all the much easier.

Oh Lord, give me grace towards others. I am so ungraceful when it comes to others mistakes. Allow me some kind of divine ability to give grace like you do. Thank you for always loving me. My worth in You so far exceeds anything I could ever fathom, and I can confidently say that it doesn't matter if other people in my life care about me even a little bit, because You are my hope, and You are my confidence. Restore my joy today, Lord. You are so worthy to be rejoiced in.

And with that, I'm out.

"...empty handed but alive in Your hands."

yay! sarah changed my profile picture! i love her!
she also added more pictures...she rocks

So everyone (unless you live under a rock) knows that line from the movie Spider-man. But really... do we live it out?

I'm not exactly a fan of war, but I know sometimes it's necessary. After 9-11, most everyone was ready for us to give the terrorists a piece of our mind. How soon we forget. Now most everyone grumbles and complains about the war... "why are we there, nothing's getting accomplished""... "it's all about the oil"... "Bush is an idiot and doesn't know what he's doing"... they totally forget how it all started.

Now, before all my Democrat friends think I'm totally dissing on them and refuse to read the rest of the post, I'm not so please hear me out.

So a couple of days ago I mentioned Live 8, which was to raise awareness for G8, a conference of the world's eight richest nations to discuss helping the poorer countries. Live 8 especially emphasized the AIDS situation in Africa. England, among the eight countries, has been an ally to America in many ways. Tony Blair and George W. Bush allied together to fight against the Iraqis. England has several troops helping us in the war.

Then today, London is attacked by terrorists.

Why? Because THEY ARE A THREAT.

I hope and pray London will not wimp out like Spain did last year and remove their troops to appease the terrorists. I hope that London will band together, stir up some righteous anger, and be more determined than ever to fight. Now it's personal. Now their reason to fight should be greater and more personal than ever.

England and America are two of the richest nations in the world. We hold a lot of power in this world. "With great power..." We have the great power, so what is our responsibility? To fight for what's right. Whether that means providing money, food, and healthcare for Africans or warring with terrorists, we should be responding to the call of great responsibility.

*EDIT*
***PANIC FROM A REPUBLICAN*** Why are my adverts allowing people to read about Bush lies and Anti-Bush stuff?????

hooooooooooooly cow, i am so sick of rain! apparently there is a tropical storm somewhere around us, and it is wreaking havoc on the blackmountain area. not really, it is just pouring. i want to be able to go outside and sit on the rocking chairs, or go play volleyball, or go play ultimtate frisbee, which, by the way, is a new favorite game of mine.
i've been playing a lot of games this summer. one, in particular, is killer. it is a mobile version of mafia. there is a killer and a detective. we usually play in spillman auditorium. it's pretty big and it's got annex buildings back behind it. so you run and hide, the killer kills, the townspeople yell "dead body", everyone comes running, and the detective asks questions to the townspeople. after a while, he/she is able to make an accusation and the game is over. it's a blast. the fun part is being the killer. which reminds me, it's about time to play another game of that.
so i have recently purchased seasons 3 and 4 of saved by the bell. yesterday evening i was in the "i don't want to be around people right now" mood, so i went and got dinner, went to my room and watched saved by the bell. it was a glorious occasion.
i just want to go back to bed....

haha yes..i FINALLY have a phusebox..... Thanks to AIMEE :)

This summer has been absolutely amazing.

pictures to come soon
~possibly with a summer update entry..much to tell :)

"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business. Time was still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to hapiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Hapiness is a journey, not a destination." ~souza

As if today wasnt already planning on sucking as it is.

I now find myself with a gaping wound. A trust that I held reluctantly against my better judgement has been shattered. Certain things will leave me paranoid forevermore (which is a retardedly sappy ensemble son which might actually make me feel better right now), especially when I'm away. And weather permitting I will be away this weekend. Bloody perfect timing.

Not only are Wednesdays the day that things always happen (a comment which Amy Bonin might remember with slight amusement from a few summers ago as well), but every time one of my favorite songs is played in worship things go bad. The first occurence was the night that Matthew announced to AO he was leaving. Of course, no offense to our previous college pastor, the result has been beautiful. Once more it played with a much lesser annoyance occurring. And again tonight. The specific line that always jumps out at me and builds fear in me will not be spoken for fear of speaking things into being, lol, but "Blessed be the Name of the Lord" is at times a bit too ironic for me to handle.

I got in bed at 12:15. Got up at 1. Was on the phone until 3:45. I doubt very highly that I will be getting much more sleep tonight, and that shall make my long day even longer.

I hurt. Yet in the midst of that hurt, several things bring odd amounts of comfort. For one thing, my ridiculously twisted sense of humor rarely fails to pull me out of a bind, even in the case of making a joke out of my own hurt. Honesty. I never really thought that simple honesty would go as far to make me feel better about a dreadful situation. The simplest virtues really can go a long way sometimes. So can a humble, sincere apology, even if it lacks a change of behavior.

God knows that I've been quietly praying to Him for hours now. And as much as mine are constant, all of your prayers would be great as well. More than evereverever. For me, my friend, and the fool who has all of this twisted up right now.

I know I shouldnt worry. This time I'm not worried about what is going to happen with everything. No, certainly not worried.

I am positively terrified.

It's like arguing with a brick wall, but if there is some chance in revealing an opposing side and making him think about it for at least a minute or 2, I guess its worth it...

So, dose andybody like cake? I sure do!

Today was a great day...a group of us went to the Toby Mac concert at the People's Church in Franklin, where it about poured down rain

After the concert, we went to the Cool Springs Mall and ate. I managed to spend more money than I have,but oh well I needed the stuff I bought.

Then after church, we went to Chilago's *sp* in Woodberry, then went to watch a movie at my house. Today was busy, but loads of fun.

God revealed something to me today that has dramatically changed my life. To understand what he told me, you have to know the situtation: I am not dating anyone until God reveals to me my wife and the direction he wants my life to go in. That said I have been having trouble with the dating thing, because I thought that I was being disobedient because I am interested in a girl, but He has told me that it is natural for me to be like this, but I have to respond to it using his wisdom that he taught me. I have decided that I am going to develop a friendship without anything getting in the way of that, and continue to keep my focus on him. I just had to get that off my chest...

I hope y'all had a good night....


Random thought of the day:
Do something good for somebody that they dont expect...


Peace

well anit shit been going on really.. leavin in 2 1/2 weeks so thats it and then in november im going ot florida again buht thats it im out holla
i love u megan

Right now, I'm sick of this thing called life.

Oh and I'm home.

so i have found my dream mp3 player. its called the iriver h340. check it out here it holds 1200 hours of music. it hold pictures. it records music and voice. the battery lasts 16 hours.

lets think about this, say a cd lasts one hour and has 10 songs. if this was the case for all your cds, that would mean this thing would hold 12,000 songs!

so i am currently working on how i am going to get it and $9,940 for a car!

should be fun

hmm...today was kind of a boring day. I babysat and went out to dinner with the church group, that was fun i guess.

Our youth minister is leaving which sucks, but he is going to seminary to become a minister so that is good for him. I just hope our youth group can get through this tough time.

Camp in like a week and a half which I am very excited about. Its on the beach which makes it even better and I will get to see some people who I dont get to see very often.

Well this is getting long and pointless so I won't babble anymore. Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!!

Well, I'm at my dad's house... Yup, and I'm DYING to play drums! My rists actually started hurting yesterday from lack of playing so I've found a practice pad and sticks and I've been workin' on guitar stuff with my dad (for those of you who don't know before the divorce he was an AMAZING guitarist...).

So yeah, I'm ready to be home and I'm ready to see friends but other than at RYM and band camp I'm not goin' to get to do that till school starts (ick) but in a way I'm ready for school to start again, just gotta finish that darn Ethan Frome....

Music is good..... mmmmmm mmmmmm.....

*so yeah... i've never really had any real bills to pay... until now... today i wrote a check for 1000 some odd dollars for my first college payment... umm... why didn't anyone tell me that it hurts to write that big of an amount? why didn't anyone tell me that you seriously reconsider college? lol... but it's okay. i'm proud of myself *uh-huh*

*Your love has captured me
Your grace has set me free
Your life the air I breathe
Be glorified in me

Your love has captured me
Your grace has set me free
Your life the air I breathe
Be glorified in me

You set my feet to dancing
You set my heart on fire
In the presence of a thousand kings
you are my one desire

I stand before you now
With trembling hands lifted high
Be glorified

ok update... sprained my ankle on june 27.... still not healed.... camp in a week and a half......and still can't run on my ankle!!!! grr well thats all.... love ya ~Anna

So yah something is gay with phusebox. I think somehow something happened that will embarrass me. I can't say what it is beucase I don't know how it happened or how to get rid of it. I am so f'n scared and freaked out right now. I need to talk to either Anna or Tony or even both would be nice. So please log on!!! Or Anna call me! I am so freaked out!

On another note my parents are yet again fighting. Not sure if I like it or not. That sounds awful, but yah...it's true.

AHHHH! But I am still freaking out!

well i screwed up my profile pic....rawr....
one would think that the technology you buy might actually work once in a while (sigh)

got home from drivers ed today only to work until 6 nuking the house with every substance known to mankind. yes....even cocaine.

but now i have to go to the store on my cute little bike to buy some coke and milk....my favorite thing to do....leave the house.


entertain me with your witty remarks, best joker gets a cookie.
until next time........
later

^This Day and Age^

Jason's Deli + Marble Slab with Katherine Clarie = Love. [driver's ed. driving today].
I drove in the pouring rain for the first time. And I drove to Woodbury. And let me just say, KC did wonderful!

I got a really cute shirt, Garden State and Mean Girls at Target

wow......i am soo incredibly bored......i don't even know what to think.....actually i've been thinkin a lot lately but i choose not to disgus that on here cause that would be nothing but rediculous....notice that i'm using large and proper words on here....and i can blame Charles Dickens for that!! he jsut had to write that hideous book called great expectations!!!
ugh it's soo long! so pretty sure i'm still bored so call me! oh ya !! how do you get to be "friends" with ppl on this phusenox thing?? sumbody please tell me!!

I wish he would understand that he's everything to me.

This can't end, it just can't.

I have nothing sentimental to say

AH-HAH!

VICTORY!!

Actually, more like an Act Of God.

The estate auction is NOT, as I had feared, THIS Saturday, but NEXT Saturday. I'm ecstatic.

But what else was I suppose to assume when the email reads, "You'd drive up there Friday, the auction starts at 8:30 on Saturday, then come back Sunday morning." ....That's what I thought. :]

I'm developing a bruise on my foot. What have I been doing with that foot to merit bruising???? Absolutely nothing. Gah. It at least could have been something cool, like I was scaling the Capitol building to save Pope Benedict Insert-Number-Here from certain death and when we were safely on the ground being applauded, he stepped on it. But he's the Pope, so since he's holy would he neccessarily cause bruises?
Ponder this while I go eat dinner and tango.

Go to church.

Well today I made pudding with Katie it was very interesting. Then we made milkshakes then katie poured heer milkshake into my pudding then I poured my milkshake into her pudding and then it got all over the table and my dad got mad which was very funny now we are doing nothing but sitting at the computer well g2g

i totoally drove today whaaaaa!!

=]
i actually did good! -people are really mean to student drivers.... we went to Woodburr' and stopped at a sonic and got yelled at by some hicks in a truck:

:drives up and pulls in the place beside us at sonic: "siegel su-uuuucks!" :drives off:

hahah they didn't even order or anything.... it was stupid because none of us in the car even went to siegel... the teacher isn't even from siegel :laugh:... idiots.

but yes.. i did fine (especially for my first day in traffic of any kind) :smile:

abby

i DROVE today. not as bad as i imagined. our teacher is much more likeable when you get her by herself. and she's not yelling...

i've decided that i would like a Nissan Sentra when i get older, seeing as the first vehicle i'll probably acquire is a MANUAL '94 Ford Ranger. blah on my mom for promising me her car when i was little.

my driving partner is splendiforous. miss katie schneider did wonderfully in the rain, even though she says that was her first time in it. we had to sit in the parking lot of some doctors office for 15 minutes, so i was messing around with the car, and managed to find Michael's info card, and turn the overdrive off in the car.

we ate at Jason's Deli and Marble Slab. mmmm

ooo and i'm really excited because we worked our driving times out so that we don't have to come back EVER after Monday!!! yay for us!

      the yeah yeah yeahs are lovebrought to you by the isLove Generator

Well...not everything goes as it's planned. But everything turns out right, doesn't it? So I don't need to worry. I just wish things weren't so hard...but soon everything will be set right, and...ah...yes, everything will be fine...

Well I'll be leaving for Canada tommorrow, which as everyone knows, is a magical land full of French Liberals, Moose, and Rush fans. Wish me luck and observe the deppressed monkey with the squid hat. Bleeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee! Take some Prozac!

what a fuun 4th...i went with Emily W to Lena, MS where the whole town is related to her..which was extra cool...they have 125 total people there...they also have a Post Office, a tiny old bank, a library thats only open on Saturday mornings, and a small church...it was adorable..sweet little old homes and sweet country people!..heh...anyways the 4th of july is a huge deal there in Lena and almost 10,000 people showed up to see the huge firework show, i was impressed!...anyways..it was so fun..i hope yours was too!

remember that although there arent anymore fireworks in the sky theres always stars..:-)


oooohh man i forgot to tell you. Blagh, my car broke down on me..i know, how sad, but we think itll be okay ..it wont go into gears like reverse and park which isnt too good...pray for my baby!

mmmkay thats all folks.

rooney^

yeah, i need that cd. good good music on it.

fantastic four this saturday. score, people need to have birthdays more often. im tellin you.


pretty sure my mom will pay me $25 a week to clean the house. score, thats like the easiest thing for me. you just drown the whole room in cleaner and vacuum. muahahaha

so i have $60, i only need like $9,940 til i can buy a car! i am totally almost there.

anyway, only like $4,940 for a stick shift. i'm good to go.

i would say by freshman year of college, like the end of freshman year college, i should be able to get it.

well im out playas
stay cool

So my wife and I along with Trevor and Keva Atwood and little Micah Atwood, Josh and Jessica Miller, Daniel Patterson, James Alfonso, Amber Sutton, Chase Larson, Ben Brown, Brittany Dove, and Jeff Joslin went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee Saturday and returned yesterday around noon. It was a good time to get away and be with friends and relax. On the ajenda was an all time favorite of mine...NOTHING! A little background on the people Rachel and I went with.

I have been going over to Trevor and Keva Atwood's every Thursday night at 6:30 since my first semester here at MTSU (spring 2002). It has provided me a chance to get away from school and stress and hangout with fellow believers. Over the past 3 years there have been as many as 20 people over their house on a Thursday night. Trevor and Keva are incredible people. They give so much of themselves, time, and resources. All the guys that went to G-Burg I have known since I've been here in the' Boro...except for Jeff and I met him this semester. All the guys went to my wedding and we all play AO flag football together. There is a bond that exist between us that most people groupd of friends never find. Why? Because we are brothers in Christ and have experinced the taste of God together, worshiped together, prayed together, cried together, and been there for one another. I would be surrised if I fiond friends like these after I leave MTSU. The girls are amazing. I have also known them since my stay here in Mur-frees-boro. They are godly women who are true testiments of what a "real" women should be about. My wife being at the lead.

We stayed in a cabin just about 3 mintues from the "strip" in G-Vegas. Our cabin was nice. Air conditioned and cable tv just waiting to be used by us! We grilled out chicken, burgers, and dogs...not real dogs...hot dogs...ballpark hotdogs. For entertainment we played mafia, cranium, and phase 10. Speaking of entertainment... we watched Micha's The Wiggle's video tape. I still am lost for words by those 5 dudes dancing around in their respective colored turtle necks. Regretably, I find myself reciting some of the dialouge I heard from The Wiggle's.

Fourth of July 2005 was one not to forget. Friends, jokes, The Life of David Gayle and Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, seeing more than my fare share of UT fans littering the strip, The italian restaurant we ate at, nightmarish bunny rabbit mascot suits, the intense game of mafia we played, the blair witch house we saw on a trail, and asking a Chick-Fil-A employee if her boss was Christian. Unforgetable.

My digital camera just came! I jsut have to get a memory card for it. I am so excited!

ehhh. Pretty sure I'm not in a good mood thanks to a certain someone. Hug ?


Last post was just to see what y'all would say. I like coffee though. I'm not in love with it like some people. Crazy people. It doesn't make me sick anymore. =) *Sara, you lost*


Good news: I'm in love...................jk.............
We found that crazy guy's phone number so we can report him. Dumb perv.

hmmmmm.....4th of July was good. I saw fireworks with a lot of people.yaaaaaaay. I feel like having a "get together". I know I can't though- that blows.

i loooooooove you.

I am going to Ohio!! Kings Island trip is tomorrow...that is gonna be sooooo much fun! I will update when i get back! love you guys!!

The Toby Mac concert was a lot of fun. I went with Anna and Patrick and we met up with Amy B., Aimee, Rachel B., Robin, Jason, and Alex. We had a blast! Anna and I screamed and jumped around when Toby started singing "Jesus Freak"... we were so afraid he wouldn't sing it! The people in front of us looked at us like we were nuts! Ha ha! It started getting real fun when it started sprinkling! I enjoyed the rain but I was glad it didn't start pouring.

Church tonight and then we get to go eat Mexican... yum... I'm hungry just thinking about it...

i was goin to say how this had been workin and i liked it, but now it's not workin for me any more.

I wanna make it work.
I'd kill for this.

Hey everybody!

That's right, I am online and making an entry on a website!!! Isn't that cool.... don't you think.... anybody....well, I guess since I never posted on anything else no one is expecting me to post on this. But get this, in two months I will be at UTM with unlimited internet access and I will KEEP YOU POSTED, believe it or not. This makes me happy. I will be able to stay in contact with you guys even while I'm gone. YAAAY!!! Anyway, I will be sure to talk to you guys later. Maybe this time you'll see I'm serious about my postin'. Oh, yeah!!

Love In Christ,
Zach

me and elizabeth danced in the rain... twas beautiful... i love the rain... do you?

ok..i lied..at first i did put a new pic up..but i decided i didnt like it..so i have my oold pic back up..haha

hey..well i got a new pic up..no it isnt the best..but it will do..lol..so whats up? i am supposed to be readin but i really dont wanna..i already finished rocket boys..and am dreading ot read rebecca..o well..if i wanna pass highschool..i should start doin my work..well myriah is leavin for cali..actually pretty soon..i think she said her plane leaves at 2 so that is about in 40 minutes..its gonna be borin without her..lol..last nite i slept over at her house and it was fun!..jenn did too..and we swam..and stuff..and then we took a shower and jus hung out and stuff..and we were like textin til 3 in the mornin..o well..well i guess i should go..

So as one day fades into another, most of this day is gone. And where did it go? I feel like I ask myself the same question everyday. It's usually around 9 in the evening and think on all that I need to get done and by that time it's over.

Everyday I find myself faced with the reality that most of my friends are getting engaged or married or having children. I don't think that I am ready to do any of these things. And for one thing, you usually need a boyfriend to do them anyways. But the more I am surrounded by this the more it gets to me that I don't have it. I don't think that watching chick flicks on a regular basis helps either.

Oh the woes of being 25 and single.

OMG! It's raining really hard.

I wanna go play in it!!!

Can I please?

Who wants to come with me?



I really really hope it storms!

will someone please do a storming rain dance for me?

I lost my rhythm and can't do it anymore

I would appreciate it very much, thank you

so disregard the other phusebox 4runners4hott I cant type and I dont like it so i dont know how to delete it bc im stupid but my new is I

WOW. That hurt.

So this morning I took Nathan and Elizabeth to the airport and I was surprisingly sad when I left. I thought it would be easy to transition into Nathan coming home to visit and leaving to go back to New York, but it was still kinda sad. I am also sad because I am not going to see Elizabeth until like August. I am leaving on Sat before she comes back and will be in East Tenn on a mission trip until the 16th. She is leaving on the 16th to go to the beach and is coming back late on the 21st. I am leaving on the 22nd to go to New York and won't be back until Aug. 2 at the earliest. Crazy. At least we are making the most of summer and traveling! Yea for traveling! Boo for doing it with Independence Air! It is absolutely amazing that Nathan had a flight home today. If the first 4 people I talked to at Independence Air had anyhting to do with it, he would still be sitting in the boro. Luckily, I finally found a girl that wanted to help instead of be a jerk. Yea for Meredith that works in DC! Hope you are all having a good day!

Wow I miss all of my friends back at home. I never used to get homesick at all, but of course that was before I made sooo many awesome friends that I am so accustomed to being around for a good portion of my time. Vacations are great and i'm having fun but to be honest i'm not much of a beach guy, it gets old fast. I would have gladly traded my place for somebody who wants to be here but couldn't, b/c they would enjoy it much more than I could. I am trying to talk my family to going to New York next year for vacation...and so far they like the idea! The only problem would be a place to stay...Well anyways just thought i'd let yall know that I love and miss you and can't wait till I get back home. Untill then...

This entry is dedicated to the lovely lady right here with me and is the one and only Miss Molly Kumpf! We werent best friends for the past 4 years, but she knows more of my secrets and aspirations than almost anyone. She played clarinet with me and I well shes like a sister to me and today I realized I havent called her since graduation. We promised we wouldnt lose touch. And yet here its been a little over a month...It makes me sad, cause if I am failing on keeping in contact with her, my lunch buddy, my fellower clarineter, my partner in crime at most band practices... then whats going to happen to all my other friendships... *sigh*... yes I realize Im being overdramatic, but thats what these things are for :-P

I'm leaving for my granparents house in Georgia so i wont be back for a while.
*Amy Beth*

As I sit here for what seems the millionth time
Wondering of past days gone by,
Of times you might have called out to me.
But I was to busy to see.

Did you call? That's my fear,
For those times I didn't hear.
Did you tell me to think,
In a situation that I didn't seem to think it through.
Or did you tell me to come to you?

Did you warn of how little I pay attention
To the simple ways of life?
Or tell me to take the time to pray more often
Because I haven't lately?

Or are these just meaningless thoughts?
Or did you send them down to me
So I may take the time to see the simple things
In all the stressful situations of everyday life.


Isn't that true? I mean its just something i wrote one day and didn't think anything about it, but its true.

So are you having Meaningless Thoughts?

Ok. Seriously. Check out The Dog That Won the Title For the World's Uglist Dog Contest...

Well, I am leaving to go back to New York City in a few minutes. It was really good to see the people I saw while I was in town. It was good staying at my old house even though I felt like a stranger in my own room.

I loved spending time with my friends and family. I really miss people while in New York. I will see some of you at the end of July for PAINT THE TOWN (It's going to be a lot of fun)... For the rest, I will be back in Murfreesboro at the beginning of October.

I apologize to the people that I was unable to see/hang out with while I was home even if I had made plans to do so.

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! Continue to spread PhuseBox!

i sleptover at sydney's houselast night so we could go shopping today. yesterday, we cleaned outthe attic just for amusement. it is now very clean. i ambored and sydney's space bar doesnot work everytime! nothing really to say, i am the bridesmaid for the wedding skit at church. i get to whear sydney's mom's prom dress and run off with one of the ex-boyfreinds. i have decided to have a masquerade for my sweet sixteenth, baced off of the phantom of the opera, but i don't know where i will have it.

www.TerriClark.com

You can listen to the song my aunt wrote, it's the first link.

Now I'm going to go babysit some more.

While my sister is recording a book on tape?? Yes. I have a strange family.


Oh, and I found out I have connections at Pac Sun, and I could get a job there - but nah, I think I've lost all desire for employment. I already make about $50 a week babysitting.

I'm reading a really interesting book on Heaven - I never really had a grasp on the concept but it's amazing how much is really there in the Scriptures. But I don't have time to discuss it now, I need to go. Maybe later.

wow last night was pretty...oh what's the word im looking for.....AWESOME!!!!

Went to Fazoli's night and had alot of fun but it was kinda wierd because like all the other people sat outside and it was really rude but you know what...whatever if they wanted to be that way so what....we had fun without them....so therefore it was Me,Jenna,Becky,Megan and Sarah inside and those other people outside.....around 9:30 Becky and Jenna left then Me Meg and Sarah where fixing to leave and...the AMAZING Michael appeared...lol...and we had alot of fun went to a gas station and got kicked out and then after that Me and Michael went to Sarah's and had a blast.....yeah i love those people they are totally awesome and totally my coolest friends ever....lol...

so here i am, sitting at the front desk. there's not much to do today at all, so i will probably just read/play on the internet/look over bible study material.
i keep thinking how i am super excited about the fall. i'm excited to be back with the amazing friends i have. i'm excited to get back to belle-aire and kick off the semester. i might even be excited about writing english papers. i guess i should be, though. i'll be doing it for the next 589 years. will school be over soon?? (sigh of impatience)
i have made some priceless friends here at ridgecrest. we all went out and saw fireworks the other night. we got as close as we possibly could and just laid on the ground and looked up. amazing bonding time. i got some great pictures of the fireworks. the finale was great. i couldn't handle it. i got too excited. one right after another. (if you know me well, you know how true this is.)
ooh, saturday a group of us went to Paramount Carowinds in charlotte, nc. it was amazing! perfect weather. great roller coasters. i'm never good at putting memories or emotions into words. i've been reminded how much i love people, deep relationships, and quality time. so, this summer has been amazing so far. i'm not quite ready to be gone from here nor gone from these people, but i am also excited about the fall and the people and tasks that await me there. here's to what's now and what's next. i love it. love you all.

So many people come from absolutely nothing but a dream to having everything they'd ever wanted.

Someday I'm going to become a king.

I'm back. Enjoy it while it last. Lol

phusebox. huh.

*so before work today i prayed that God would help me to take a new step of leadership... whatever that was... and guess what i was put incharge of? back! yeah... i was actually upset about it at first... but then i realized that God was answering my prayer. lol. the night went really well and everyone was so encouraging. and we got out at 10:40. i know that it was a God thing.

*so i've been struggling in this one area just lately... and like... i'm just like... i've been praying that God would change my desire for a relationship... and everything... and one break tonight i was reading "Every Young Man's Battle" (the girls are suggested to read it... to see why modesty is important and all...) anyways... so i'm reading it... and there's this part about how when there's a struggle in our lives we want God to take our desires away... but in most cases He doesn't. in example the only way for a guy to take control and have victory in his thought life is for him to step up... be a man (not just a guy... not just a boy but a man) and do whatever it takes to fight wrong thoughts. and it hit me... the only way to have victory in this battle is to stop thinking like a teenager (you know the "but how can i not follow my heart?" or "but it feels good" attitude) and be an adult... but real about this. i have to look at exactly what's tripping me up and stay as far away as possible. when i'm tempted to flirt i have to be real and refrain. i have to trust God and obey what i know is right. i dunno... you prolly think that i'm nutts... and that's okay. i'm not trying to impress anyone. and no... i don't think all relationships are bad... but 1. i'm still on my year of not dating and 2. i'm not ready. anyways... that was long. night, guys. ~Hope

I want to die.

End of story.

I ate lunch with Carla and Laura-Anne at Applebee's... fun stuff. AND I did not have to pay $3.00 for refills... so I got like 3 refills.

I go back to NYC tomorrow morning. It was definitely good seeing everybody for a few days. I will be back at the beginning of October for Chris Madison's wedding. So, until then, keep Murfreesboro alive for me. I will miss everyone...

today is daddy's day.

birthday cake is yummy...
who agrees.

i just love cat naps with you.
i miss the we in us...
someday. someday.

i love cycling. i have for the past couple of years. i don't know why, but i am addicted to anything having to do with it...strategy, equipment, riders specs, crew leaders instructions. i love to read up on it and watch anything that i can about it. there is something cool about a sport in which 9 guys act cooperatively, sacrificing their strength and bodies for the team leader to win. it's not an individual sport as so many of us think, because all we hear about is Lance Armstrong, but what you don't hear about are the George Hincapies, Jose Azavedos, and last year the Floyd Landis', but we would not know who Lance was if it wasn't for these people and the others who make up his team. it is these guys who take the wind in the face and let Lance draft off of them. i just love that. i get so selfish sometimes, but what would happen if this became a part of my everyday life. laying down my strength and time so that someone else might succeed. that no one would hear my name, and yet there is still such pride in someone else succeeding. i want to lift Jesus high all day every day, lay my pride and self aside so that he might be glorified. if i am good, it is only because he is great. he is so beautiful.

ps...you know what i am going to be watching for the next three weeks. OLN every night. and bytheway, lance took over the yellow jersey today. rock on discovery channel team.

So it hit me today that I haven't spent hardly any time with my friends lately..I don't even really know what they have been up to or anything..it is really sad..I think I am in need of a girls night!! REALLY BADLY!!!!!! But yeah..just had to get that off my chest...

God has been showing me verses lately that are important in my life right now... He is soo amazing at how he just has these certain things that he can do and they just smack you across the face and say "hey..LOOK AT ME!!" it is amazing!! I love GOD SOO MUCH!!!!

So my sister and I took a walk around the neighborhood tonight!!! We talked about so many different things...From college to family situation to sorority issues...It was great!! I love being able to just talk to someone so freely and not have to worry about them judging me!! She is almost like one of my best friends..

I am finally gettin my hair cut tomorrow!! I am sooo excited!! It hasn't been cut in a while and it needs it very badly!! But yeah..
Well I am off to bed..another exicting day at work tomorrow.. NOT!!!!!

Hey yall. IM just sitting here, chillin. 5 comments. Very nifty. UH...I just got back from MIssissippi. It was pretty cool. I saw War of the Worlds. I agree with Nathan, the ending was abrupt. But I talked to some old people and they said thats how the old one was. So Speilburg didnt do that on his own. Well Im out

Peace

yay take a look at my new pictures!

The best feeling in the world is seeing someone, or thinking of someone, who totally takes your breath away and makes you melt inside.

"Why do you care so much?" he asked
she replied, i was to know
where i belong
what froup shall i enter?
who will accept me?
"no," he says, "you are you
you are no one else
be you. you need no one to tell you who you are
he doesnt understand.
to find oneself, you must embark on a treacherous journey
a journey she fears to take...


stella smith was probably the best english teacher i have ever had. she was encouraging and she was like a friend, someone i could tell anything too. she reminds me of elizabeth. i wont ever have elizabeth buts thats how i envision her as a teacher...anyway...she is not stella smith but has gone back to stella wood and she will not be teaching anymore, she is back in jackson, mississippi doing who knows what...sad that someone who was so gifted was unhappy doing what she was amazing at...

Everybody say hi to Michael and Leah!

"Hi Michael and Leah!"

^That's what you're supposed to say.

Say it.

RIGHT NOW!!!!
