Weakness
April 23 2007
"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
Yup, I like this verse. I decide to really kinda read my bible and I came to this verse. When we come to God weak, scared, and whatever else that is when His power is made perfect in us. Man, I wish I would have to known that before. Ok, so maybe I did...I just forgot. btw, thanks grace : )

Tonight was the Desert Theater for Fine Arts. The Ensemble
was alright (better than last years by a long shot), Choir was great, and the
Human video absolutely PWND!!!!!!!!! I made people cry, and I didn’t have to be
violent to do so.
Now I’m coming off the adrenaline rush and am rather tired.

Good Book
April 22 2007
I'm reading this really good book called In Search of Eden. It really shows how small our world really is and how even if we don't know it, we could effect people's lifes on the other side of the world. The author writes Christian novels.
This teenager has a baby. (Which is bad, but it's still a great book.) She goes in search of her. But what she doesn't know is she has found her daughter already.
Everyone should go and read it. Now.
your real friends
April 22 2007
i guess...i mean, i know who my real friends are.
you find out who your real friends are when you are the one being a pain, and they stick by you. they help you through the darkest storms, pray for you, and are always there when you need them. but, sometimes, you have to let go. sometimes, you NEED to move on. and occasionally, you'll find someone better. there are only a few of these people in your life.
this has really been hitting me in the face...pretty hard lately. like, i find out who God really is...when i let go of my burdens. even when i'm not being very Christ-like, He won't ever leave me nor forsake me. I've found that when i just let go, i am so much more joyful. i can see life's true beauty and really understand what i need to work on in life. This isn't, like, super deep or book-worthy...but it's what i felt like i needed to share with people. God's there even when people aren't. In life, I won't be reliable, but God always will be.
Sanjaya and God's Will for Your Life
April 22 2007
I'll admit it...I'm a sucker for things in the entertainment world that are so bad they are actually, well, entertaining. It's the train wreck effect I guess. You want to look away, but you just can't. Something keeps you glued to the screen or the page - bonding you with the love/hate horrors that are appallingly bad and yet strangely good attempts at some form of art.
The latest for me is the phenom named Sanjaya Malakar. The fauxhawk sporting smoldering eyed American Idol contestant has brought more excitement to the show than it has had in years. There are myspace folks who are on hunger strikes for him to get kicked off, and millions of others who have worn their little fingers out by voting for him week in and week out. Love Sanjaya or hate him, it's hard to look away - right?
But my all-time favorite form of train wreck art is bad writing and poetry. Why? Because writing and poetry are such amazing ways to express feelings and thoughts - so when they are poorly composed, it sticks out like a pimple on the face of life. For example, one of the key skills in writing is the use of good metaphors/analogies/similes. Good ones inspire the imagination, and bad ones mystify the mind (or turn the stomach). Let me share a few of my favorite 'train wreck' *examples to see if you agree.Speaking of poetry, did you know that you are actually a poem yourself? It's absolutely true. You are a living, breathing, work of art that each and every day appears in front of the world as a masterpiece or a train wreck...and it's completely your choice. Here's how God's word describes what I'm talking about:
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.
Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
Every minute without you feels like 60 seconds.
Her parting words lingered heavily inside me like last night's Taco Bell.
For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10)The word 'masterpiece' used here is the Greek 'poema'...sound like any word you know? Of course it does - it is where we get our word 'poem'. In other words, every Christian is a living poem, adding new lines to the story every day!
So how do our lives end up being masterpieces instead of train wrecks? Easy - Paul tells us in the rest of the verse we looked at:
He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Eph 2:10)
Think about it - long before you were even a sparkle in your parents' eyes, you were a complete story in your Father's mind. Before the earth began He already had pulled out the heavenly paper and wrote your name at the top - and a smile came across Jesus' face as He envisioned what your life would look like if you decided to live out the 'good things he planned for us long ago'.
In other words, when you trusted Christ, God gave you a pen and the freedom to 'write' your life poem however you choose...but here's the great part. He also gave you a pattern to follow so your life will be a complete masterpiece. He offers to help you design your living story so that when you get to heaven, you'll look up at God's refrigerator and right there above the living water dispenser will be your 'poema' with a smiley face and big gold star for all to see.
I don't know about you, but that's what I want for my life. That's why each day I try to write good poetry into my life by asking myself how Jesus would handle situations and looking for ways to touch other people's live with the love of God and the gospel of Christ. It helps me to remember that each day, the lines are already there for me...I just need to fill them in.
And when I don't, my life takes on a train wreck quality that looks like a soggy rat making its way through a dark and stormy night.
So if that sounds familiar, remember that you are not some random being who is the product of random chance. You are a masterpiece...God's living poem...His work of art.
Ready to get writing? Me too!
man, i felt stupid
April 22 2007
so this weekend we had a race, it was two day event. it was great, we had awesome weather, met some new people, and saw some other people that we knew from other teams.
the great thing about rowing is you kinda get to know other teams pretty well even if you dont know the actual individuals, you still kinda know them, make sense?
anyways, there's a tradition in rowing that the winners of the race gets the team shirts from the everyone else in the race. well, our team doesnt really participate in that cause we would spend a fortune in t-shirts. haha. but another thing people do is trade shirts with people. so my friend matt and i were walking around going to different teams trading shirts. well, i saw a group of people walking towards the virginia tech trailer and they had blue shirts on with orange V's. well, if you take notice, tech's colors are maroon and orange, and UVAs' colors are blue and orange. so ol'smart patrick was like "hey virginia tech, wanna trade shirts" and the guys were like, "we would except we're not virginia tech, we're university of virginia...hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaah"
ya, i felt stupid. and my friends laughed a lot too cause matt was in the process of telling me that they werent tech. and we wanted virginias shirts too cause they were cool. oh well. needless to say we didnt get either of their shirts. but their still cool guys. the coolest teams we met, were wakeforest, michigan, and south carolina. south carolina is definately the coolest of them though.
anyways, the races went well. we beat the teams we set out to beat, but didnt win any medals.
school is going good. i found out that i could possibly make all A's except for math, which i'll probably have to retake. but thats ok. i'll just understand it really well.
and how are ya'll?

Things Most Beautiful
April 22 2007
As I said, this isn't always true, and in most cases for most people, likely isn't. However, for many people in certain areas, it rings truer than any other words. For example, a theologian may think that God is the most beautiful thing because God cannot be understood. I as a musician think that music is incredibly beautiful because, though I can wield it somewhat, I don't think I can every fully understand it.
On a completely unrelated note, I recently got back into writing little fiction short stories, and I'm a little optimistic about what I've come up with so far. My only problem is that I like to toss in a lot of my own personal philosophical musings, so my stories don't make sense to a lot of people. They are a nice diversion, though.

Virginia Tech
April 21 2007
As my wife and I watched the news about Virginia Tech this past week, there was almost non-stop discussion about the "warning signs" and how the police could have prevented more killings by shuting down the campus - and so forth. Seriously, why do we look to blame everyone but the person actually responsible?
Yes, the Virginia Tech shootings were a tragedy... but THE SOLE cause was a duranged college student... not the faculty that should have caught the warning signs, not the police, not anybody except him.
Warning signs are just warning signs... they are not 100% indicators of anything. There are hundreds of students across the nation that probably act in a similar way to how the VA Tech killer acted... quiet. reserved. inner conflict. anti-social. Just because someone possesses warning signs does not mean he or she will do something crazy. And if they do in fact carry out some tragic event, it is not the fault of the ones that "should have caught it sooner."
There are always things that could have been done differently - things that could have prevent any given tragic event. But the thing is that hindsight is always perfect. We can analyze all the events and determine what may have helped the situation, but lets stop pointing fingers at the faculty and the police and recognize that the shootings at Virginia Tech were the climax of how a duranged college student wanted to be remembered. It is just sad.

Well I am Extremely exited about going to camp this year. I went last year and it was great. I feel like this year will be even better because *someone* gets to come lol jk well kinda but not really.
Anyway I feel like God is going to move me in an extreem way at camp and I feel I really need it.
I just hope everyone gets all their money raised for camp so we can all go :P :)
I just got home.
April 21 2007
And I can't stop smiling. I look like a complete goofball. For the first time in a long time, I let myself be myself and I had such a good time. It doesn't make sense at all to me right now. God knows what He is doing and right now I am actually okay to just go along for the ride.

Life before exams
April 21 2007
I got a keyboard for my birthday, which makes things superfantabulastic if I have free time, which I don't. So late at night when I should be sleeping or something, I play keyboard and guitar and try to work towards being the awesomest thing since sliced Elvis bread with bananas and iced tea or something.
Anyway, I'm enjoying those fleeting moments of realization that I have lost a lot of my musical prowess (I didn't have much to begin with) since Easter. EASTER! Three weeks ago! I can't have lost it that quickly, right? Maybe it's because I haven't been sleeping. And that I'm crammed into a dorm room in such a way that I have to reach a couple of feet (yes, that's about fully-extended arms) to play the piano.
Incidentally, I am improving on the guitar and have written a song inspired by the ongoing crisis in Darfur. I put together a slide show involving propaganda pictures of children starving to death or burnt and scarred by bombs or such things. Yes, I am going for an emotional reaction. Anyway, I'm going to see if my church will let me do the song with the slides; I know they won't, but I can at least ask, right? So that will be an interesting conversation.
Anyway, I'm tired of blogging at the moment. Check ya'll later.
To those who have made a difference
April 20 2007
First, My parents. I know I don't seem like I listen, but I do. I'm storing all you say for when I need it most. You taught me the best things in life aren't having the latest and greatest but God, and family. thanks.
Ok, now there are some that I don't want to name.
You made me think in a new way. You taught me what it means to replace untrue thoughts with the word of God. thanks.
You're the one that makes me smile for no reason. Just because you are you. Yup Grace, I'm talking about you.
You are always there to talk. Even when we aren't talking about deep things. but, just life in general. It always make me feel better. thanks carmen.
You're the little brother I always wanted. Ok so you are taller but that doesn't mean you better then me. I'm glad that we can be friends and not have to treat each other like creeps. You make me laugh when I don't feel like. Thanks tyler.
Man, I wish I could get you to stop picking on me!!! : ) J/k You're ability to know when to be serious and when to be goofy is a reminder for me. thanks austin.
You made me stop and think about what I truly believe. You made me stronger in Christ. And kept me from going insane. : ) thanks.
You always challenge what I say to make sure I'm thinking straight.. Thanks big brother. Yup, that means you jarred.
Your presence just makes me feel better. Makes me think that I'm not alone. thanks elizabeth.
You taught me that different doesn't mean weird. Just because we don't have the same backgrounds and we haven't experience the same things, doesn't mean we can't be friends. thanks kaelynn.
You always keep me accountable every time I talk to you. I need that. thanks amelia.
Just because we don't talk all time doesn't mean we aren't friends. I feel like when I'm around you that things are just going to be alright. thanks neely.
You are the one that makes me feel want to hug you every time I see you. btw, did I mention that hugs make feel better?? thanks lane
You are one that I know is there to call and talk when I'm feeling lonely. thanks courtney

TCAP
April 20 2007
Wow.........i haven't been on hear for so long.........this is my first entry in what seems like years..........my computer privlages have been limited lately................... Anyways, this week has been pretty ok-cool. We took TCAP a.k.a TCRAP, witch is like a huge test that every 3rd-8th grader in Tennessee has to take. Anyways, I NEVER HAVE TO TAKE IT EVER AGAIN EVER EVER EVER!!!!!!!!!!
As you can see, Im happy. TCRAP sucks. A guy also farted in my face this week. it didnt really bother me cause' it didnt stink........but he was kinda like flirting with me, witch is DISCUSTING because, even though he's popular, i think he's about as attractive as cat vomit.
Right now i'm reading a book called Peeps, and it is so good!!!!!!! Yes, it's about vampires. (Why am i naturaly drawn to good book about vampires and love????? Curse vamps and there wonderous abilty to create great plots!!!!!!!!)
p.s. Go read Twilight, then Peeps
Random cool quote from Peeps: "So stock up on some bottled water and a few cans of pasta sause, maybe the kind with extra garlic. Set aside a few good books and DVDs, and buy a decent lock for your door. Try not to watch TV for a few months-it will only upset you. Don't take the subway,
And leave the rest to us vampires. We've got your back"

There Is A Dramatic Story Reeling Through My Mind...
April 20 2007
But this morning I realized just how fortunate we are everyday.
I was going my usual way to campus this morning, but I didn't go very far because I was blocked by a school bus and emergency vehicles. I called my mom, who had left shortly before me, just to make sure she wasn't involed with the incident. Thankfully she had not. And I thought about it. Today is the eighth anniversary of Columbine. A similar tragedy struck Virginia just Monday. A wreck happened less than a mile down from where I live. Anyone could have been involved. No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Anyone I know can go at any time.
And they have. Ellen Dent left us on January 9, 2004, and Bruce Gilley left us August 20 of that same year. I didn't know either of them extremely well, but what interaction I had with them was meaningful, and their passings grieved me. I don't know anyone near VA Tech, but I mourn for them. I empathize with them. Shortly after Columbine I read books about a couple of the different victims and felt a connection with one of them that made me feel as if she was a long lost friend.
I hope each and every one of you knows that I love you. And I mean it. With all my heart. Maybe one day I will take the time to tell you how much and what about you specifically. But today just know that you are loved.
I don't know how much longer it's going to take me to write my novel. But I am very inspired now. I hope it continues. But without tragedy. Instead I would like a constant reminder running through my head, how very fortunate we all are to be here today.
You had to have it all, but have you had enough?
April 20 2007
I have that particular song stuck in my head today, it's alright until you start on the last bit. Then, not so much.
Now I'm in a borrowed classrom. It's senior week and wouldn't you just know that I'm one of 6 juniors in the class. That's alright because I'm one of 2 in my first class, then it's straight junoir classes through the rest of the day.
I finally got my hands on Spindle's End today, I read it last year and I've been wanting to read it again. Yay! For those of you that haven't read anything of Robin Mckinley, I advise you to do so now. She's amazing!
just a little rant
April 20 2007
another thing that is sad is that younger girls may look up to the characters on these shows. and that is sad because those characters, like izzie or meredith have no self-respect or concern for others. they both went after married men and think everything is great in the world. and those men obviously are dirty pigs (hahahaha like most men, right?) and have no respect for anything other than themselves.
oh but anyway... that is my rant on that.
so, phusebox friend, how are you doing?
i just dont understand

Honor and such
April 19 2007
reading it I considered more than once how unfortunately true it is. It
is pretty blunt, and amusingly, it is written by a Democrat and is
largely a critique of Democratic policies on Iraq and war. He doesnt
have much good to say and wont make very many friends in the part he
sometimes supports.
http://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/2007-04-01-1.html
The
whole thing really got me thinking, though, about how easy it is to
give up things such as personal honor in so many different ways. For
example, I was talking (semi-arguing) about a complicated issue with a
friend of mine earlier. And in the end, I ended the argument, said that
a decision had to be made based on what people were comfortable with.
This
is so true, but at the same time, I was either totally wrong in what I
was saying at first, or I was right and I just gave up. What a crappy
way to go.
I think back to the topic of evangelism in this
regard, since Jerel was talking about it last night. Do we really worry
so much that people will think we're nuts that we wont share the gospel
anymore? I hate so much to admit that I absolutely do at times. What an
honorless pig I am to stand before the Holy, Sovereign, Awesome God of
the Universe, claim the name of Jesus Christ and a relationship there,
and then spit in His face saying that I will claim to believe something
that Earth shattering but that my being comfortable is more important
than His Great Commission.
Go and make disciples. Oh how often
we totally screw that up. How often we'll let someone raise a hand,
walk an aisle, stand up, or whatever else, then we shove them off
merrily on their way to do the same thing for someone else. Yeah, they
might make some converts, and those converts might make some, and such
forth. But my WORD, how WEAK is that? DISCIPLES, people. We're not
handing somebody a stack of insurance cards, and it is as sure as
heaven not a "take one and pass it" (I hate that phrase in all possible
ways, but it works).
The greatest thing that this leads to is
a lot of shallow, lukewarm Christ Followers who know nothing about the
name they claim. And that is assuming that their "conversion" is a true
one, which is a whole different can of worms if they arent being
discipled.
The Word of God is a huge thing not to be taken
lightly. It should absolutely be spoken with conviction, and it should
absolutely be spoken as a 100% God-breathed truth from Heaven, and
anyone who looks down on an accurate teaching of Scripture JUST BECAUSE
IT STEPS ON SOME TOES is treading on the dangerous ground of the likes
of Joel O'Steen and Friends that refuse to preach about the truth of
sin, Hell, and Satan, and want to talk about the squishy
warmandfuzzies.
I'll tell you something totally nuts. If there
is a ministry that is bleeding people, everyone is disappearing, and
big changes have happened recently, you can have a pretty good clue
about them; their pastor is almost certainly preaching the absolute
truth of Christ in a profound, honest, and accurate way and people dont
want to hear it. WAKE UP! People loved Jesus when he was all Miracles
and Fun! But when He got to the Gospel Truth about Himself, the fun and
games were over for His followers. They werent impressed anymore. They
wanted to be entertained, nevermind eternal Truth.
They didnt want Jesus Christ, they wanted a magician, parlor tricks and Red Rubber Balls.
It
seems just the same that people dont want Dean Sisk or Jerel Olsen.
Some people dont want Fritz Games. I absolutely love all three of them
and the passion for the Word and the Lord that they share in common.
But that is me. Some people want the wishy-washy, health-and-wealth
Word of Truth crap from people like Joel O'Steen, Benny Hinn, and TD
Jakes. Some people want the EVIL of hateful people like Pat Robertson.
If you look at Scripture for EITHER of those, you are looking in the wrong place.
The
Word isnt there to make you feel good about yourself. I absolutely LOVE
what Fritz has been saying about the Old Testament this semester, that
the stories arent there saying for us to be like those people, it is
there to tell us we ARE like those people. There's a little bit of
David arranging to take Bathsheba and have her husband killed in all of
us. I bit of Jacob, looking for love and acceptance in all of the wrong
places. A bit of Sarah, not trusting God to do exactly what He said. A
little bit of Moses, disobeying out of frustration with dreadful
consequences. A little bit of Jonah, running from our HONOR and
RESPONSIBILITY to God out of hate for a certain group of sinners.
If people are in sin, they need to know it. They also need to know the truth.
Tough cookies folks.
Jesus
Christ is not politically correct in today's terms. People seem to
think that it is intolerant to call something wrong that God clearly
calls wrong wrong. Unfortunately, people look at a condemnation of such
things as homosexuality as homophobia, because as much as we sing the
old song of "hate the sin, not the sinner," MANY OF US STILL HATE THE
SINNER AND WE WONT ADMIT IT. That isnt cool. Not a bit.
This
is really long and really incoherent and definitely chased rabbits from
the original topic. I really dont feel like I'm done, but I've hit a
wall. If anyone has comments or a sharp rebuke for me, feel free to
send it my way. I'm open to correction :-)

Today Was...OK
April 19 2007
Today started out OK. After finishing TCAP (for the last time in my life, thank you) we went outside to play the quiet ball game. (My friends didn't. We talked.) We made a star with out feet,and Ms.Murrel took a picuture. We talked about music and listened to our iPods. I tryed flying. It didn't work.
My day got bad in music. It was good at first because Keri and me were looking at her book, Peeps. I was reading the weird parts in it. Then this obnoxious guy Joe (may I add he's popular) threw his pencil over near us. When he bent down to pick it up he put his butt on me and farted. It was really embarrising. All his friends were laughing at us. He did it to Keri next and then back to me. He even sat on me. Everyone was saying that it was really mean, but they weren't doing anything about it. Sometimes I feel like trading all my good friends in so I can be popular so nobody would make fun of me. And yes I do get made fun of a lot. And then I get even more embarresed because I start to cry. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I just can't handle it anymore. I can't wait till' high school so I don't have to deal with those people.

The Greedy Wolf
There once was a wolf who was very greedy and wanted to be rich and famous. He was a sneaky wolf and always got into trouble. One day the wolf walked by a pile of gold he ran as fast as he could to get to it and then the gnome popped out. The wolf said, “this gold is mine I saw it first.†the gnome said, “no this gold is mine I’m guarding it for the king of the enchanted forest.†The wolf got mad and started to think on how he was to get this gold. The wolf saw a duck swimming in the pond few yards away. The wolf trotted to the duck and asked if he wanted to be rich the duck thought about it and said, “yes.†So the wolf started to explain what had happened. The duck said that he would think up a plan. The next day the duck snuck up to the pile of gold and quickly shoved some in his beak. The gnome noticed that the duck was stealing and then ran toward the duck. The gnome asked, “Why are you stealing from the king?†the duck said the wolf said that if I stole this gold he would give me some. The gnome said that if you don’t steal you will be rewarded 10 golden coins and just this one time. The duck agreed and went of to his quiet pond. Later that day the wolf saw the duck and asked if he had stolen any coins? The duck said, â€no he gave me 10 coins if I didn’t steal so your on your own.†The wolf got mad and stormed off to the pile of gold. The wolf saw the gnome and said, “why would you give the duck 10 coins to not steal the gold?†the gnome said, “because he did the right thing and left the gold alone just like you should.†The wolf said, “well I wanna be rich and famous not poor and slum.†The gnome said,†I will give you 20 coins to leave this gold alone for the rest of you life.†The wolf agreed and made a promise never to bother the gnome again.

School violence is something that has really stuck with me since Columbine. Not too long after the instance I begin to write a novel about a high school shooting that I am still struggling with as I try to give the message of the story justice (although I am resorting to writing a screenplay since I find that much easier and would rather make a movie). Now, it seems more personal because I am a college student just like these kids that just died. I know many of you feel the same way, so let's just continue to lift them up in our prayers.

So...
April 17 2007
So today was a good day. We went outside today, and that was a lot of fun. We probally looked like a bunch of fools though to most people. (We are very loud.) We were keeping Keri's lucky puppy and feather away from her. Sarah was singing very loudly. We were just being our normal selves. One bad thing about going outside is that I keep seeing him. Most of yall don't know the story behind it, but if you were on my hall last year you most likely know. It just frustrates me so much. I'm going to end up 50 and not married. Nobody's ever going to like me for real (except losery elementary and sixth graders.)
WOW
April 17 2007
So, my day was interesting. my ankle hurts....ow. If you didn't know this about me, I peel my bananas upside-down. I did that at lunch today and my friends call me wierd. I AM NOT WEIRD. (but i can't spell wierd.) I like the band Everlife. I also like TCAP week. But, I hate TCAP. (A.K.A. TCRAP) I also wish COREY would check and reply to his stinkin' messages every now and then!!! (hint hint) Mime was fun lastnight. WOO! So, tell me about your day unless you just don't want to. WOW...bored! I want some ice cream real bad...

April 17 2007
Thanks Becky... all I know is it can't be on Thursday. Chaos will reign supreme on Thursday, stupid Thursday.
I have a dentist appointment at 8:30, then salsa practice after school (we'll be in heels, eww or better yet OWW), and then I have to go straight to the church for a two hour drama practice. That's gonna suck so bad.
We had practice drama practice last night, and I'm all sorts of bruised. The carpet in the Planet Kids room is not the softest thing to land on, and neither is Kristas' knee. You just have to keep reminding yourself to sacrifice for your art. I just wish it didn't leave you so sore...
I'm hungry, maybe I'll drop by the vending machine and see if they have anythng edible. They usually do. School food can be hazardous to your health if you actually ingest it, so I basically live off sugar and Cheese-its during the day. I stuff myself silly after school when I get home, and we have leftover lasagna waiting for me in the fridge ^_^
There was a senior breakfast thing today during first period, and I'm one of two juniors in the class and the other junior was on a feild trip. So it was just me and the teacher until I went and kidnapped Leslie from her class. We sat there and takled about random and serious things for the entire class. I miss when we could do that, this year was the first time we didn't have any classes together, and last year we had lunch too. At least I see her in between almost every class. She made me choke on my drink today, and then she tried to kill me with it!
*EDIT* No Salsa on Thursday!!!! WOOOOOOOTTTT!!

I feel so stupid right now. Why didn't I try-out for cheerleading. I was just saying the other day that I feel so lonely without it and now I won't try-out because I don't think I'm good enough. I totally chickened out at the last minute. I'm so mad at myself right now. Oh, well, I still have dance.
So we had TCAP today. It was boring and easy as usual. They put some of the easiest questions on those things. I really don't see how people can get below profiecient, when they are so easy. Well I got to go so I can get some rest before tomorrow's tests. See yall.

I Changed My Mind...
April 16 2007
I have changed my mind.
If I am truly passionate about a project and feel confident about it, I think directing and I could get along.
Meanwhile... editing is tough... ha ha... I still like to a degree, I mean, it's really neat to put everything together, but it sure is super frustrating. So maybe that isn't the direction I want to head.
I'm starting to think the writing/producing thing is really for me, and possibly some directing... but not so much editing... I just have these stories in my head that I want to share...
But then again, I do like the control... hmm... well I guess I have some time to figure it all out. I might turn a couple of my summer projects to other people for editing and see how that works out for me.
Speaking of summer projects, I think the first one I'll be working on is a soap opera based on the drama of Facebook. The second will probably be a spoof of various movies. After that or between those two I might try a serious music video.
Oh yeah, and does anyone know a super flexible place I could work at for a second job (for the summer only)? I would want to work only like 10 to 15 hours this week, want a few weeks in the summer off, never/rarely ever work weekends, and avoid food and retail at all costs. Yes, I am asking for the impossible. So do have any ideas...?

April 16 2007
Haha, I think I'm going through a song title phase. Sadly they're the only things I can come up with when I want to put up a title.
Yesterday was the first time we had Fine Arts practice in three weeks, and I amazed myself. I remembered my drama, our large emsemble has managed to suck again this year, the choir is great but it feels like it's over to fast.
The human video on the other hand...man we pwn. Before service last night we worked with Alicia on a flip and even though I was wet from my knees down, IT WAS FREAKIN AMAZING!!!! Then everyone discovered I'm a very light person and spent a few minutes tossing me around like a salad.
I played wing-man for Krista on Saturday after practice, boy that was a trip. I found out she hates sushi, and I had some fun with that! Not a whole lot is funnier than watching someone turn green when you shove a piece of raw fish in your mouth.

Life
April 15 2007
Life for me right now can be so odd and interesting at the same time. So much is going on that sometimes I can't even wrap my mind around it.
My grandmother is having knee replacement surgery on April 24th and is staying at Adams Place for therapy. She could be there for three or four months because she is almost 84 years old. I pray for her constantly and she is always on my mind. I have a feeling that when I am not at work I will be there this summer keeping her company. I can't stand the thought her of feeling all alone.
I've posted new and updated pictures of my nieces. I can't believe how much they are growing. I love them completely. They bring joy to my heart.
School is finally almost over. This week will be tough to get through but I have some nice distractions planned for this week. I am excited because hopefully I will have a 4.0 this semester. :)
I've been offered another job. *smiles* I am somewhat excited and somewhat wondering how I am going to manage because more hours have been added on at my work now. It will all work out.....I have faith. Daniel is determined to help me have a life this summer, so hopefully I won't ruin his plans too badly.
Isn't it interesting sometimes how things turn out? I catch myself smiling sometimes because when I look back at moments in my life that were growing experiences, I am so thankful for it all the same. It hurts but I'm stronger and more mature for them.
I will be 19 in about three months. Weird.

So, it turns I'm helping my little sister with her drama solo, and it's harder than it looks. While badgering her to memorize the skit solidly, I fear that I won't be able to guide her in the right direction. The biggest issue, right now, is editing and adding motions to the drama enough to involve the audience throughout the entire drama. I think we can do well though.

My Weekend
April 14 2007
My mom and me went to the movies today and saw Disturbia. It was really good, but it was one of those movies were you don't know what's around the next corner. After the movies, we went to Goody's to and got my dressy day outfit for spirit week. It's really cute. I can't wait to wear it. We also got my prom dress. I like it, but I just wish it wasn't some cheap $90 dress that I got from Goody's that probally 10 other people will have. I really want to go to prom, but I'm really nervous. I've haven't went to one dance all year and I'm afriad I won't know what to do. I just hope my friends come. I'm going to call Sam and see if I can get ready at her house. So did yall have a good Saturday. I did. ;) Well I got to go and practice my presentation for tomorrow's People to People meeting.

am i bipolar
April 14 2007
sadly, 'tis true.
RESULTS: (i just took this test! lol)
Do you have Bipolar disorder?(Different types, and some other type of Disorders)
Bipolar I. Considered the classic form of the illness, bipolar I causes recurrent episodes of mania and depression. The depression may last for a short time or for months. You may then go back to feeling normal for a time, or you may go right into a manic episode. Maniac which by the way pertains toObnoxious,provacative, or intrusive behavior,racing thoughts, or restlessness. Like one month you could be feeling a little depressed then the next, normal, then mania occurs...but this is type is healthier than some.

In other news, We have are presentation on the 28th and I haven't really been able to practice for it. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if it wasn't for the fact that Lane is not going to be there so I'm filling in for her. Which means I'm doing the Courtroom Narrator for her, and I haven't done that part in a while. Oh, well.....I get around to it.

Okay, time to tell you about some more stuff about me.
Well, ever since I was little, I've wanted to sing. It's my dream, my passion, and my talent (or so i'm told). But, if this doesn't work, my plan is to be a literature teacher. I love to write and I also have a passion for teaching others and a passion for literature. I really don't like algebra...I'm in it right now...SOOO looking forward to Gateway, not! But, I'm not that bad at it. I have a brother...I think he's human. I love to dance...it's one way to get my confused bipolar feelings out. My favorite sport is by FAR volleyball! (But, sadly for others, I have NO athletic ability WHATSOEVER!!!). I play the piano, my forte, and have been playing for 6 years. I plan to double-major in Literature and Music and minor in Art or Musical Theatre. Which, by the way, brings me to another interest of mine, art. I will try to get some of my pictures I've drawn/painted on here. Tamara has one of my paintings!! : P. My favorite medium...is...I don't know. I like it all...except watercolors. HATE THEM. I make jewelery. As you can see, I am quite busy. No wonder I'm crazy. WE GET TO TAKE TCAP ON MONDAY!!! (Teacher's Child Abuse Program) If you have any questions for me, feel free to message me. (Gosh, I sound like a nerdy brainiac...don't say anything about that...you know who I am talking to!!!) I am, contrary to popular belief...haha, a blonde!!! I am ditzy a lot...but I occasionally say smart things. People underestimate me quite a bit and, golly gee, I hate it. My hero is my Sunrise. (You might just know who I am talking about...) But, see, he didn't change the world...but he changed mine. He inspires me to do better in everything, and everything I can't do well, he can. But more than anything, he gives me strength, the chills sometimes, and the constant freedom to be myself and not be judged by him. And against all odds, I can fight the battle...of middle school or whathaveyou. I love GOLF!!! It's so much fun! My favorite golfer...I'll have to go cliche' and say...Tiger Woods. I was watching the Masters on Easter...and he didn't win. OH WELL!!! I like to photograph random things...and un-random things, as well! I could go on about my cluttered mind, though it's empty! lol. I never realized how much there is to know about me. I'm a complex person! Well, I hope your day is so AWESOME that you just HAVE to write about it. And if your day isn't awesome, I hope you have the Faith to know that tomorrow will be better.

I am so happy... and satisfied with my life and time here... its beautiful and undescribable in this blog leaves me speechless...
