For the second time in 1.5 days, I have been foiled by an inanimate object.

This is depressing.

today was my first day of high school. all my classes are pretty much in the same area, but i still got lost twice. it's way bigger than the middle school.

Time for a fresh new start at MTSU. I don't start until the 28th.

after being in new brunswick new jersey i have returned and i now know what my schedule and everything is
1st  economics           fergusson
2nd chemestry 1 adv. honors   daniel
3rd english 3 honors      farley
4th honors spanish 2      tomlinson
5th algebra 2 honors      Mcclellan
6th honors US history    Sides

i know all about tomlinson but i have no other ideas on how these teachers are
but i do have 2nd lunch so if anyones interested your invited to chill with me just message

    Fine Arts was amazing. We went to Islands of Adventure and I rode 2 rollercoasters. It was pretty fun. I didn't like the standing in line much, because the longer we were in line, the more I tried talking myself out of the rides and the more freaked out I got, but once we were on the ride it was all good. I hung out with Kate, Brianna, and Paul the whole day. It was awesome. 
    I'm leaving for New Hampshire tomorrow. Joshua and Jonathan have been up there for 3 or 4 weeks and Chris left last week. Rebecca's leaving today and Zay, Dad and I are flying out tomorrow. I can't wait. We'll be gone for a week...beach, family, fun, food...mmm good. I'm disappointed that I'm going to miss Pastor Jackson's sermons on Sunday. I love hearing him preach.
    To all of you leaving for Lee this week, good-bye and I'll miss you. I hope you all have fun. I can't believe you people are leaving me. :-(
    School doesn't start until the 29th for me. That's pretty cool. We're going to a private school this year, for those of you who don't know. I'm...trying to be excited about it.
    Well, I've got to go finish cleaning and packing. See you guys later!

Last week while house hunting in Jakarta, Decy had one of her favorite houses pulled out from under her.  Then, recall I blogged her Top-4 ... well, No. 1 the Pondok Indah house was taken before Decy could begin negotiations on Monday morning.

So, not to lose spirit ... Decy and I (primarily Decy, because there are 6 time zones between us) took on piranha instincts and started negotiating on the DaVinci house (No. 2; some pics will be posted momentarily).  Talks are underway, and I suspect that much will happen tonight, while I sleep. Especially when you recognize that the owner will collect 75% of 2 years of rental within 2 weeks onces he signs the paperwork ..... hmmm, $4,350/mo x 24 mos x 75% ... looks like a bit of money.  Hopefully, all goes well tonight. Keep praying for Decy ... this is a challenging situation.

As for me and "boresville" ... I'm still working. Our multitude of Vice-Presidents arrive tomorrow.  They leave on Thursday.  I am told I can go home to pack after they leave ... pray for me that all goes as plan ... I am hoping to leave on Saturday, 26-Aug after everything is packed and I've shut down my work.

ciao ciao

So here I am again...sitting at work....bored.  I mean, I'm answering questions but I don't know all the answers.  And none of them are actually for the real reason why I am here.  It's absolutely ridiculous.  But I am getting paid.  And very nicely so I shouldn't complain...right?

well, i dont think im going to be posting here any longer. no one ever comments...honestly its boring. but i have a myspace and xanga still if anyone cares to chat or leave a messsage. xanga: innocenceneverlost.

seeya!

               

Yesterday my baby boy took six steps on his own from his toy house to his daddy.  He's getting so big and strong!

    Well I'm about to head out for New Hampshire... the plane, I have just found, will be small loud and rough... that should be fun...
    I can't wait to get to the beach.... I absolutely love to sit out and listen to the ocean if there is ever a time where I get to choose where I live, it will be by the coast.

 
Gorgeous
    I'll miss you all. I'll be back monday and I will have internet access while I am there so it shouldn't be too much of a withdrawl :-). Have fun because I know I'm going to :-)

    What God has created is beautiful and I get to go enjoy that creation YAY!!!

I am about to go away to college. I don't want to grow up. What should I do?

Sincerely,

Miffed in Murfreesboro

Yo Freyund,

Ms. Katay Scahlett O'Hayra Hamltin Kenneday Butluh

That was the official name of our trip.  You can look up our route to see what you think:
Memphis, TN to Kilgore, TX
Kilgore, TX to Galveston, TX
Galveston, TX to San Antonio, TX
San Antonio, TX to Garland, TX
Garland, TX to Memphis, TN

That's for the last 8 days.  Fun stuff.  Here's what I learned on the trip: how to say goodbye.  I hit a nice emotional low a few nights ago, so I did a cell phone purge.  I took out all of the numbers of people who I'm in contact with every 6 months or so because I initiate the contact.  I understand that people have busy schedules, but seriously...if I've got a buddy who works 25 hours a week and isn't going to school or dating anyone, how hard is it really for him to call me within 6 months?  So I deleted some people who never deem it necessary to act as if they care about me.  I feel like a brat saying that and doing what I did, but seriously...without the contact information in there, I won't be able to contact them without going through a lot of trouble (which you know I don't do a whole lot of), so, in my way, I said goodbye to some "friends" I've held onto for the past several years.  It hurt and dropped me lower, but I feel better now about the whole thing.  I know I'm an introvert and a relative loner, but I still get lonely when people don't show interest.  Luckily, I've got a few people who do show interest and love.  Those others, though...the ones to whom I've given unrequitably...they're out.  I said my goodbyes to a ceiling in Garland.

Changing gears...

I keep myself in check very well.  Whenever I'm getting particularly spiritual/moral/whatever, I manage to find some trouble in which to place myself.  I keep myself from existing on any extremes, and this is something that drives me to irritation every day I live.  I desire so much to live an extreme, but my survivalist instinct reprimands me for such thought patterns.  In my heart is the desire to throw off the chains I willingly wear, the chains that hold me where I am.  I wish with all of my heart that I could break the chains, spread my wings, and fly.  But these desires are quickly squelched by any number of things: my lack of ability, my lack of confidence, fears, anxieties, others' opinions.  So the question I raise to myself is whether or not I will ever be able to achieve greatness.

Changing gears...

I was thinking the other day that everything a person does is part of an overall effort to be superior to others, however conscious or unconscious that desire of superiority may be.  Even team players strive the be the best team player.  It's insane how we want to excel to the detriment of others.  This is why I've come up with the crackpot idea that man's design is originally for a much smaller population size.  When God finished his creation, there was a man and a woman who were given the charge to subdue the earth.  This command still resonates within the breast of every man and woman on earth, and, in our efforts to so subdue the earth, we focus on the betterment of the individual rather than the betterment of society.  Is betterment a word?  With two people, the focus on the betterment of self could actually more fruitfully contribute to the betterment of the group, but when there are 6 billion people striving for the betterment of self, the group inevitably suffers.  Now, what kind of solution could solve such a dilemma?  No reasonable solutions have presented themselves to me, reasonable meaning practical with man in their current and future terrestrial states.  So I allow myself to detract from the good of society by better supporting my own individual interests.  Is this right?  Wrong?  Neither?  I'm not sure.  All I know is that my fears won't allow me to surrender fully to bettering myself or society; as usual, I have ideas, but I can't allow myself to follow through with them.

Changing gears...

Why do I always have these crazy dreams about who I want to be?  All I end up doing is convincing myself even further that I will never be able to achieve whatever it is that I hope to achieve.  For example - wanting to be a singer.  I have ability, but not enough.  So I end up spending my time depressing myself because, deep down, I know this dream will never come true.  These fears further detract from any chances which I may have to achieve my dream.  Since I know these fears detract from my chances, I devote less and less time to achieving it until it's just another memory of something I could never have done.
But what would happen if I abandoned all in order to follow a dream?  Would my devotion somehow will a success?  These are what have haunted my dreams for the past few nights.  Quitting college and working my ass off in order to fulfill a dream seems great while sleeping, but the cold reality hits when I awaken.  So I stay in school and allow myself to hate myself for not trying hard enough.  I'm sure other people go through the same things, but I'm the one whining right now.

And that's another entertaining look into my mind.

Humorous anecdote:

When I sang at the Baptist church a few weeks ago, the preacher was talking about heaven in his sermon.  He was saying that there wouldn't be any doctors in heaven since there would be no sickness.  That means all doctors go to hell.

Good night.

1 more week til im back at TTU! im so excited i can hardly stand. new year, new faces, new fun times lol. i miss cookeville a bunch, but in a way im a little sad..which is odd for me. but i made a lot of friends this summer who dont go to tech, so im gonna miss them a lot.

we got a new horn professor and im a little worried about that too lol. im going to get my ass handed to me on a silver platter.

*sigh* and then i am going to HAVE to work this fall and spring if i have any hopes of gettin an apt this summer. wow, im gonna get an apt. when did i get old enough to do that?! anyway im poor, and im about to be even more poor when i call verizon in about 5 minutes to pay my phone bill. i hate bills.

I think Life enjoys freaking me out. The most random things have happened for the last week or so. So much has changed already, and there's so much more to come within this next week. I'll write about nationals later. The highlight of it: The Miller Girls won small vocal ensemble.

Somewhere in the midst of that last kiss
and the glow of your tail lights as you drove away,
I screamed for you to stop and come back
and cried out loud because I loved you.

Somewhere between email number eight
and txt message number fourteen,
between phone calls number five and seven
I slowly lost my mind.

Somehow between beginning to fall
and trying to convince myself I hated you
I came to a sudden realization.
I couldn't make myself hate you; I had failed.

At some point between the first sleepless night
and the hundredth day of angry tears,
between the sad walks and tired mornings,
I missed out on some really great days.

Then some time between some very good news
and the first nights of actually sleeping in weeks,
the sun came out, the world became bright,
and I got the thrill of a life time.

And suddenly between reading a letter
and knowing you were going to be gone
I found myself regretting things
I never got a chance to say.

Because somewhere between a history class
and a sad little going away party thrown in a flash
I fell in love with the most unexpected guy.
I fell in love with you.

HOLLLYYY HEELLL!!!! Breaking Benjamin's new CD is AWESOME!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! Creed use to be my favorite band but I think Breaking Benjamin has beaten the crap out of Creed's 3 CDs with only two good ones (Breaking Benjamin's first CD wasn't that good...). School starts tomorrow and if I don't fall asleep soon it'll be today. That's right, I am going to take Latin IV (I am determined to learn that blasted language if it drives me insane). Did I mention that I LOVE Breaking Benjamin!!! Oh, I am going to Buzzfest just to go and see them. Yeah, I am going to it with a bunch of girls from the movie theatre right next to where I work. I AM GOING TO HAVE SOOO MUCH FUN LISTENING TO BREAKING BENJAMIN!!! Then I am going to go to Nickelback's concert. That'll be fun, too.

Tonight was the best. Praise and Worship lasted the ENTIRE time. It was definitely a great ending to Jonathan's ministry at FWC this summer.

I am amazed by Your glory God. You alone are my strength. You alone are my love. You have my heart. I love you.

I'm happy. Things are changing...good things are changing and happening. I'm seeing within myself the person that God is calling me to be.

And for right now....FWC is my home...I know that much for sure.

Busy week this week. Lots of working and things at church.

I got my work schedule for while I'm going to be in college. I work everyday...as soon as my last class ends I have to hurry to work. I'm worried about getting everything done and having my grades not slip. I'm worried about not freaking out like I usually do when I am stressed and under a lot of pressure. *worried look*

I miss you...very very much.

There's only so much pictures, memories, and instant messages can do.

okay so pretty sure i lose a part of myself today with the moving away of my best friend.but the good thing is that i got to go move her into her dorm and meet one of her roommates.her dorm is nice now that we decorated it and the campus is pretty cool to.man i miss her already.it was really hard to move becky into her dorm today and then basically just leave.band camp started today for her so we really didn't have a choice but yeah.

i hate the feeling of losing someone i trully love.that makes two best friends now that have left me and its the worst feeling ever.

I LOVE YOU BECKY!

I started shaving today. I am 13 it makes my face feel weird.      

Nothing yet from the Belcourt on whether or not they found my purse lying about.  So I probably won't ever hear anything from them.  *shrug*  It happens.

Also, there is a huge mother effin' spider that has been camping out next to the door on the airport side of my condo.  I'm pretty sure it's a wolf spider.  Huge, scary looking, jumps high, but not poisonous.  Don't let the non-poisonous bit fool you, though... it's still a vicious killing machine.  It'll just gnaw you to death instead.  Viciously!

Due to the fact that it's just been hanging out around the door and that it disappears whenever my dad goes out to kill it for me... I think it's a spy.  I think it's in cahoots with its spider buddies and it's just the scout gathering information so that they can launch a large scale attack against me.

So. If any of you feel like killing an extremely nasty spider, I would love you forever.  And I would owe you just about until the day I die.

Also, if you hadn't caught on, my Megan got hired at the Cookie Store!  This will make my work experience much more enjoyable, I'll tell you what.

One more announcement in the Cookie Store department.  Virginia, who is now the official store manager here in Murfreesboro, is looking to hire, "another hot guy."  (Besides Mitch, who is extremely fine.)

So.  If you're a sexy dude in need of a job... Apply at the Cookie Store soon.  If you're not motivated or responsible or friendly, don't bother applying because this woman will not hire you.

(Now, I will mock Brian King, who was going to apply there shortly after Virginia started taking over the Cookie Store about a month and a half ago, but was beat to the punch by two other people, and who now has no purpose in applying because he is about to leave for Memphis.  *mockmockmock*)

boy suck

and I'm really.really. mad at [the.boyfriend]

okay, so pretty sure i sang lead on a song tonight in front of the youth group.............alone..............and pretty sure i was FREAKING OUT...lol, but russ made it better. he had faith in me, so i guess it went alright. thanks again russ..   ;]

but yeah, today was an AMAZING day. turning point youth group saw me in a skirt for the first time...ever...pretty sure i got compliments out the wazoo, so yeah...gonna have to go buy some more clothes!! hehe.. then tonight just capped it all off. thinkin about what i'm gonna do with my life has been crazy...but life is good. and i can acutally say that.

but this is from a while ago... not real sure exactly when..te he he.. or who

Somewhere in between loving you and hating you

I lost my mind

Somewhere in between seeing what you want me to be and seeing what everyone else sees

You went blind

I may not be sent from Heaven, but I'm not your Hell

I'm just somewhere in between

piece

go see Talladega Nights.... its sooo funny...  of course thats if you like Will Ferrel type humor.

Just a few more days till I leave for Memphis. Tyler and I spent all of Saturday together, it was fun. We went to the Science Adventure Center and played around there, then to one of Nashville's malls for lunch/walking around. We went back to his house to watch a movie and then make this cute little memory book (we made one for each other) to look at when we're lonely and stuff. I shall miss him greatly. We checked both of our calendars for when we'll get to see each other next, and it looks like we won't get to see each other till my fall break. In September. The end of September. He gave me his grandma's ring. Yay. :-)

I miss him already.

Senior year has started. Here is my schedule

Stage Craft - Salty
Accounting - Pruett (formerly known as Rippey)
English IV Honors - James

"When everything feels like the movies, you BLEED just to know your ALIVE" (thought that was a cool song lyric quote)

Paul says that my hair is uber short. It is above my shoulders. Paul also says it is way too short. I'll post a picture of it soon.

Paul is leaving on Friday. : (

i hate hearing your name anymore.
i'll never see you again.
and maybe that's why this hurts me so damn bad.</3

School started...............

Love my schedule.....

love the people in my classes.....

and oh yeah almost forgot.....

SENIOR!!!!!!!!!

Do you ever think back to the days when getting high meant swinging at the playground? The worst thing you could get from boys was cooties. Mom was your hero and Dad was the only guy in your life. Your worst enemies were your siblings. Race issues were who ran the fastest. War was just a card game. The only drug you knew of was cough medicine. And man was it gross. Wearing skirts didn't mean you were a slut... The only thing you smoked was the tires on your bike. The only thing that hurt was skinned knees. The only things that could get broken were your toys.

Life was simple and carefree, but what I remember the most was wanting to grow up. But now that I’m all grown up I try and remember why I wanted it so bad...

so true.....so true!!!

So, I just found out that the one person I love to death and is like a sister to me got arrested 3 months ago!!! She's lives in Pheniox, Arizona, we were both born in the same country. Our parents met when they were going to Peru because they needed someone to go with. Ever sonce we were little we have gone on vactions with each other! She got arrested for the possion of cocain and the reason why she did cocain was because it was the only thing keeping her from eating. Hint hint she was anarexic too. She also cut herself and she is now in rehab. For awhile her mom oculnt see her and she can see her on the weekends!! Rehab cost $2,000 a day and they are having trouble with money so she can get better!!! So, everyone please pray for her and her recover. Ya'll may see me cry once in awhile but thats just becasue she not likely the person to do that!!!
Thanks!
Stephanie

If you see a guy, or girl, walking around with a denim and green corduroy patchwork purse that has an old navy jeans patch on one side and is lined with a t-shirt from abercrombie and says "Stephen" in stitchwork on the bottom that was handmade and given to me as a Christmas present during my sophomore year, containing:

• a beauty & the beast wallet with about $30 cash and my drivers lisence and insurance cards inside
  


• keys to my house, my grandparents' house, my car, my dad's car, my mom's van, my aunt's truck, my grandparents' car, and the keyless entry to my grandparent's car
  


• 1 tube of burt's beeswax lip balm
  


• 1 ballpoint pen

AND

• 1 elastic hair tie...

Give him (or her) a good swift kick in the crotch for me.

Here's another one that I did. 

Guitars are really hard to draw if you didn't know that already.  Oh, and seriously, if anyone wants to try one, it would actually make me happy.  Or maybe suggest a drawing for another one or another bible verse.

i just want to be with you right now.
i can't explain why. it just. came over me.
i just want to be near you tonight.
i miss being us. i miss how happy i used to be.

i still love you. i always will.


and tonight i miss you horribly.
</3

 not really sure if i even know what i am doing!!

love you guys!!

Aloha from the beautiful Valley Isle,

Well, I finally made it into Maui yesterday. What a trip! Let me tell you what happened….. (read it all to get the full story of God’s glory)

So, the night before I was supposed to fly to Maui, I decide to stay up instead of going to bed. I figured that I’d have plenty of time to sleep on the plane. Man, would I regret that one.
We left Glorieta at 4:30am so that Anson and Van Michael could get to the airport in Albuquerque by 6:30. That’s when it all started.

As I’m sure all of you know, the British police were able to catch some idiots tryin to blow up a plane going to New York. Well, I had not been so fortunate to hear about such and occurrence. So I had no clue that I couldn’t carry on anything that was a liquid. So, I got to security and had to throw away all of my toothpaste, cologne, hair spray, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, shaving cream, and even my guitar polish (I was checking my guitar at the gate). But you know, I just figured that it was a small price to pay to ensure my freedom and personal well being.

So I sat there and waited for my 8:40 flight to Phoenix and just played around on my guitar while I was waiting. I boarded my flight to Phoenix with no problems and arrive there in much the same way.

As I’m waiting for my 10:20 flight, I pull out my guitar again and start to jam. By this time, I’ve been playing all through the night as well as waiting on my flights, so I’ve played about 6 hours collectively all ready.

I get on the plane and fall fast asleep only to be awakened 4 hours later when we were landing. Wait a minute. It should’ve taken 6 hours to get to Maui, not 4. So I take a look out of the window and guess where I’m at… Phoenix!!! WHAT THE FAT?
Apparently, the hydraulic pump in the left wing had gone out over the Pacific Ocean and we had to turn back. We made a no flaps landing and the emergency crews were all waiting on the runway to “help us out” if need be. Isn’t that reassuring…. If we combust into flames, at least there’s a fire truck sitting there already. They tow us to the gate and we are told that they will be sending another flight out at 9pm or that we can stay at a hotel that they’ll put us up at and fly out the next morning.

I figure, “I’ll wait it out.” So what am I supposed to do now? Well, I pull out my guitar one more time. I play for about 3 1/2 hours during my wait, and so that puts me well over 10 hours for the day. MY FINGERS WERE KILLING ME!!!

I get on the plane again, only to find out that after sitting there for an hour and a half waiting for the pilot to show up, that the Auxiliary Power Unit fails after we have taxied down the runway. We have to turn back now and go back to the gate before even taking off. So they put us up in a hotel and I catch the next flight in the morning.

I TOLD YOU ALL OF THAT SO THAT I COULD TELL YOU THIS! Because we were delayed, Gary and I went with his daughter Courtney to the beach on Friday instead of Thursday. Well guess what… We ended up talking to a girl that was 21 years old and homeless about Jesus. And she ended up accepting Christ.

Isn’t it rockin how God would inconvenience an entire plane full of passengers just so that he could position His children in the places that He would want them to do ministry?

Because we were so late, Violette heard the gospel of Jesus Christ and her decision to make him Lord of her life forever changed her destination for eternity. Now, she is going to be able to get hooked up with the church, and it looks as if we are going to be able to help here get into some housing.

To God be the Glory, great things He has done.

Who Do You Believe In

Chorus
Who Do You Believe In
I put my faith in God
Until the day I stop breathing when Im sleeping
Im praying God to cast away the demons

2X

Verse 1
Yo, you gotta keep your head up and never turn back
Through the hardest times in the world
Everyday we gotta pray and hold on to our faith
Cause everything will be a memory when past to a better place
No disgrace only one race, one face
So hear his call cause its never to late
All this wickedness got us on the wrong path
Its got me looking around for a patch
A hole in my heart that will never heal
I need to justify my cravings for the light
But theres nothing in this world that could satisfy
But his love his grace and most of all his sacrifice for salvation
Take me to a higher elevation
Where theres no genocide, homicide, suicide
Baby dont cry wipe away the tears from your eye
I know this world is kinda hard
But ya got keep your head up and stand tall
Cause a single momma can still make it on her own
Its kinda hard being all alone
But never feel hopeless
Cause everydays a new beginning to stop sinning
So believe me when is say this generations over
Revelations, my intuitions got wishin
That I can stop fighting his creations
And one day be in heaven

Chorus

Verse 2
It started out back in 98
We use to kick back and find a way to get payed
On the block with my glock hearing gun shot
Now whens this going to stop with this hip hop
R I P to biggie and Pac and let the guns drop and hit the studio
And let my pass be gone right out the window
No more indow
Im screaming peace to my enemys
And on the streets I still see
my hmong peoples killing each other for cheeder
we all brothers of the same kind
so switch time on your watch cause we all blind
Who got the mind to change this world
Lets make this world a better place for are boys and girls
I said a open your eyes and visualize a place where we could go and
Have funs in the sun shine with are own kind
Picture a life where we dont see no more drama no more crying mamas
Wipe the tears from your eyes next time I see ya
Hoping for better days better ways
This life has got me throwing up the peace sign
Trying to fine a better way
So I got to pray everyday
And everything will be ok when we pass to a better place
Its all love from above
Never get enough
Of Gods love for all of us
Us You and me and together we can do this yea

Chorus

Verse 3
When I look up to the sky I wonder why
We were put into this evil world that were living in
Drug dealers, serial killers, and more triggers
Everybody wanna be thug
But really everybody need a hug from a real G
Catch me Lord Cause I think Im falling
Shield me Lord Cause I think Im on a road to catastrophe
I cant breath its like the devils gotta hold me
Free me Cause I need you back
Show me so I can do your will on this rap game
Cause all the fame its all for you
And everything I do Ill be true to
Cause theres no love thats your love one love greatest love
Youre my best friend, till the day I die
My life is yours to take in the Heavens and Sky
Yea Ill be there

Chorus 2X

Quote of the day:

"I wonder how many Amish people kill themselves a year?"  --Sara Read.  (Or is it Reid?  I don't know.)

Also, good news!

My best friend became employed today!

Also, bad news.

A girl got fired from the Cookie Store yesterday for stealing stuff and giving out freebies to friends.

So no more goodies for yous guys, unless you cough up the cash.

Because even though it's not the best place on earth, I don't really want to loose my job.

Well everyone, we are now back from Orlando.
Is anyone as... man.. this kind of stinks, as I am?
WEll, anyway, I had a blast, it was freaking awesome.
God was so good, the services were great, and most of all:
My friends are amazing!
You guys rock, every single one of you made this trip an absolute blast.
I  had sooooo much fun with every one of you.
Not to mention that I KNOW you all LOVED every minute you spent with me ;)
No, but seriously, I'm so glad to have friends who make trips like this so worth the week, and SOMETIMES venture out into the same level of weirdness that I seem to always walk in.

i guess it's time to move on from that last post..
although it hurts..i'll never move on from that face.

----------------------
apparently fine arts was amazing! my girls allie, laura, mags, and audrey WON with their small vocal ensemble. oh my goodness...i heard through like forty different texts (haha...maybe not that many, but it seemed like it) and was crying all the way back here in tennessee...the first year i don't go, something out of this world happens...ugh... =] it's all good, cause EVERYONE knows turning point now! hah! lol..i still love you guys over at fwc though..it was hard this year not bein with you guys...REALLY hard.

so, school is starting back up. really not looking forward to it, but i'm 1/4 of the way done with it all...then college hits...hehe...

but yeah, i'm doin pretty good.
i've been having major tension headaches...borderline migranes and they've been killing my head. pray for that, and also a friend of mine is having some problems and he's basically been blocked off from everything but school/work...so yeah, please, please, please be praying for him. church is a big thing in his life, and he can't go. he just needs prayer right now...that's all we can do.

well, i must be going.
[specca]

OH YEAH...i need answers...now! lol...okay...

should i...
[   ] wait for my hair to be long enough to donate
[   ] cut it NOW!!!

okay...please, please, please let me know...i'm havin a hard time deciding...ugh

EDIT:
if i did get it cut, it'd look like this:

k so i wrote this a couple days ago. ive been writing a lot recently....anyway, check it out.

no one can see these tears ive shed

in this secret life ive lead

so ill hide behind smiles once again

and pretend like it never began

ill keep my emotions locked in a box

in my heart that should never be ungaurded

because if its ungaurded then i can feel pain

and so i will hide behind these smiles

and hope that tomorrow brings a real smile to my face

until then, sleep tight

and hope that you might

be able to laugh once again.

So....fine arts was really really fun. Friendships have been created and bonds have grown stronger. We not only grew stronger together one on one but as a whole youth group as well.

Personally some of my own walls have been knocked down and happiness has replaced it. I know God reigns supreme in my life....nothing else could ever replace Him.

I have a lot of good memories and A LOT of inside jokes. I think my favorite would have to be the one with Megan McCann. hehe.

I'm going to go back every year as youth staff. YAY. I'm already going to put the money aside for next year and not touch it.

I have more to write but I won't. There are some things that need only to be kept at the center of your heart.

For now...I have two weeks until college starts....something I have been dreading and anticipating all summer long. It's just another step that I have to take and one that will determine a lot about my future.

I'm trusting God with it...my heart and decisions belong to Him. Please guide me God. I'm feeling quite small...

guess who has a myspace!

mhmmm, youre right.

its me.

check it out, yo.

havnt been on phuseboc much, lately.
but ive added a few pictures.

i love you to the moon and stars and back!

Q.o.D.
"Can I look at your Hillary Duff soundtrack please?"
*Shocked silence*
"I CAN EXPLAIN!!!"

[It was just for one song, okay?!  Lmao.]

I smell like self-tanner and cigarettes, and can't quite scrub the Sharpie X's off my hands.  It's great.  Every Friday should be spent that way.  [Minus the whole Jessica's-car-towed-at-2:00-AM, but that's another story...]

And Shakespeare in the Park [ShiP?] is every Thursday-Saturday starting at sometime, all through the month of August.

man this summer has flew by... it felt like summer as just started.. but now it's time to start school again..it was a great summer... from going up north to going to east tennessee... yeah being on the boat... man-o-man this summer was a blast.... it's been a fun and amazing summer and i wish it could stay...but i am also bored of summer. so yeah well i am out soo later

 I was up at three in the morning watching Sister Act 2 at the hotel, and so were several other people. I'm still singing that bloody song!!

I think I missed a lot in the Boro while I was gone... for one, I came home to find 35 new entries, and it seem as if 20 of them were very vague and mysterious... hmmm...

So, I like change... sometimes. But not always. I guess growth is not so bad (though it can hurt), but anything that seems to have the opposite effect, shrinking I suppose, really stinks. Watching my grandfather going downhill just kills me inside, because I think about the way he used to be. Now I suppose all I can do is pray that soon he will be in peace in heaven.

Finding Alice by Melody Carlson is an amazing book. I want to make it a movie.

Decy continued looking at houses through Saturday.  She has a short list of four, in this order:  (a) Pondok Indah house, (b) DaVinci house, (c) Cipete house, (d) Modern house.  We had to give them names just so I could keep them straight.  All houses are fresh, modern, and beautiful ... each carrying its own strengths, each its own weaknesses.

On Monday, Decy begins negotiations on the Pondok Indah house (pics posted).  Current asking rental price, $4,000/mo + tax.  Our allowance is $4,350/mo; we are still clarifying about the tax.

Decy has done an absolutely tremendous job over the last 2 weeks.  Its hard to move, and even more difficult to another country.  Even though Decy speaks Bahasa Indonesia, and Jakarta is her home town ... she has no experiences in the "expat relocation process" .... the time compression and stress is enormous ... school placement, house selection, and car purchases ... will all be done in a matter of weeks.  Hundreds of thousands of dollars in "decision making" all in less than a month ... a challenging task, for anybody ... and I can only help and guide her via telephone. 

We have to ensure the PI house meets security requirements, then ensure it has water purifier, backup electricity generators, yadi yadi yadi .. then after some price negotiations and ensuring the house has all we need ... we can lock down a deal and a move in date (all going well, enshahallah; God willing).

Next step after negotiations is finding temporary basic furniture (beds, couch, dinette) ... so we can "live" while Decy designs and has made our custom, hand carved, teak furniture.  The next few months will be near chaos ... but it should be both challenging and fun.  Decy says that she can furnish the house for US$10k .. I don't think so (not even in Jakarta).  But, I am confident that the result will be absolutely beautiful ... and far cheaper than what can be done in the US ... besides, I have some extra dollars tucked away in case she goes "over budget" ... so, I'm not sweating it.

What about the cars? Hmmm, no progress there. But, that is ok, we have some time as we have a company paid car and driver until at least 12-September.  Besides, I'm not too keen on forking out US$60k of my own money until I can touch and feel the cars.

What about me ... sorry ... my life is boring.  Went on the night hash on Friday ... a VERY small group, only about 10 ... when we normally run 25-30 at night. Many folks were still out on holidays.  What we were lacking in numbers, was made up in energy.  The US Marines let us run and circle up at their house. It was lots of fun - - - these guys and gals have a hard job, we need to show them respect ...

ciao ciao

Well  a lot has been going on in Aaron world.  For starters since it's right in front of me... I'm blogging from my fresh new laptop.  I'm enjoying it very much.  Um, I also got a cell phone yesterday.  (796-8082, for those who want it.)  I'm now sitting here contemplating taking of the US government... only because V for Vendetta has inspired me to want to.... not really.  But that was an amazing movie.  But I'm really sitting here with Cameron who's half asleep and listening to Pink Floyd simply reflecting upon the day.

As far as the girlfriend, things are going AMAZING.  I can honestly say I've never been happier in my life.  Sadly, I'm leaving soon for TTU and it'll be hard... what can I say.. I'm a hopeless romantic...

Well until later.... chow!

My senior year is going to be the best year of high school! I have good classes (at least a friend in each!), great cross country season, and I have a great personality and attitude going into it!

We Ready...'07!

2 hours of my senior year of high school

is all i have experienced.

but..

i'm done.

can i please skip out on the rest of the this year.?

Wow, its been awhile. Our internet at home is not working. Tear*Tear

Anyways, I chopped off all of my hair and I'm pretty sure that by tomorrrow at around 7:32 pm I will start to miss Christopher.

Most of my close friends are leaving for college in a couple of weeks and Chris will still be gone. I will be all alone. I don't want them to go away! *pout face*

Later

Do friends really care for each other? Do [real] dads really exist? It's funny. The proof is there, but I still doubt. I'm like Thomas (the disciple) on emotional steroids.

You know, someone told me that if I don't see what I want displayed in other people, I have to display that trait myself. Too bad I suck at the trait I so desire to see in others (I'm just talking about a few people, not everyone.) Yay...a paradox.

*sigh*

Anyway, I'm pretty excited about my senior year. Four of my teachers I've had before, and I'm on good terms with them. Here's what my year looks like:

French IV Advanced Honors

AP English IV

S1 Psychology Honors/ S2 Business Law 

Virtual Enterprise II honors

Chamber Choir (magically. Didn't see this coming. I tried out at the end of last year, didn't make it, and now Mrs. Gregory says I'm in. Cool. I think?)

and AP Biology.

 Oh, and I finally got a job. Geez, took me all summer. I am now officially employed a Whitt's, the one near Hastings. My first day is tomorrow, and, lucky me, I get to work the busiest hours of the day and on the weekend. It's like they said, "Hey, lets let the greenhorn get completely mauled on the first day!!" lol. Actually, I'm completely pumped about it. I won't be perpetually poor anymore.

"That can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars over the fence, world series kind of love."

Yeah. . . that's what it's about.

I can't wait.

So yesterday was the first day of School.

1st: AP Chemistry II (Mrs. Ragland): Every walked into a class and felt (in the nicest way possible) that you were gonna be the top student? Yeah, that's how that class feels. Blake Keach is in there, so it won't be so bad. Mrs. Ragland seems alot nicer than she did two years ago.

2nd: AP Calculus (Mr. McClellan): This class is a disappointment already. There's no one in there that I don't know. I'm not used to having Brionna and PJ without having Katie and Drew. They'll probably switch their schedule so they'll be in the same classes. I'm glad that Sarah, Aysha, Michele, and Blake are in there.

3rd: Wind Ensemble (Mr. Jessup and Mr. Way): All the band students schedules are messed up right now, so I'm like the only clarinet in there. It'll be fixed soon, but I'm sure that we'll have a really small class.

4th: AP English IV (Mrs. Jackson): This class is also very small. I wonder why.

5th: Chamber Choir (Mrs. Petrone): Every wanted to know what would happen if you put 3 band students in Choir? Well you're going to find out. Danielle, Jacob, and I are now part of the Choir Family. Danielle was like, "I'm glad you're in here, because I don't know any of these people!"

I know pretty much ALL of the Chamber Choir singers, but there's still that feeling of being a stranger trying to fit in a place. And in this place, I have to prove my worth. It's weird when you realize that you're with the BIG DOG singers and it's your first and only year. I mean I look at the guy singers, and I'm like, "There's no way that I'm gonna fit in."

I know it's only been one day, and it's probably just premature feeligns that I have, but nevertheless it feels weird.

I don't have many guy friends who I just "hang out" with. You could probably find me with a group of girls 99% of the time at school.

I expect Choir to be a MAJOR learning experience.

I have no 6th period right now, because apparently, American Business Legal Systems couldn't fit into my schedule. I guess I'll just have to take Government and make an easy A.

This is the year I expect to have to work hard, not only study-wise, but music-wise as well.

I have something to prove, but it's rather to myself than to others.

On another note, Grace can't be in Chamber Choir. So much for spending time during school.

Danny

So this is on a sign coming back into KY from Indiana
"Welcome to Kentucky!  State motto: GO BIG BLUE!"

    At some point I might post my hugely long and horrid birth experience, but for now I will just say that the baby is here!

Currie Alden Dail V (Alden) was born July 19th at 1 in the morning after around 24 hours of labor with 3 hours of pushing.  He was 9 lbs. 3 oz. and 21 inches!  He is doing pretty well, though I think he might be getting colicky.  That would be par for the course.  I was in the hospital a week total and am still slowly recovering.  I am starting to feel like visitors if anyone wants to stop by.  Mostly, Joey and I are just glad that he is here and trying to adapt to parenthood!  I think we like it, at least most of the time.  I might upload some pictures soon, but the really good ones that Joey's dad took are not available yet.  They are the ones I really want to show.

Anyway, that's that.

beach today... took the skimboard, still remember how to use it so that was good. Ran on the beach again... seven minutes straight then on and off for the way back. It was very cloudy this afternoon, that along with the wind made it a cold day on the beach causing an early return to the house. Made some good progress on Metroid Prime (gamecube). That is pretty much today in NH

Proud new owner of an iPod nano.
Currently accepting name ideas.

Graham Central Station tonight, woot-woot.  I'm excited; never been before.

We all need to go see Shakespeare in the Park -- they're doing Macbeth, and my friend//future prof Todd Seage is a murderer!  He is such an amazing actor, seriously.  If you're in a scene with him, you can't help but do better just because he's in it with you.  It's like he has this spark that takes other peoples' work and amplifies it.  It's really difficult to describe.  Even performing an audition scene with him is a treat.  And yes, I have constructed an altar.  Errrr...

Q.o.D
"The trouble with censors is that they worry if a girl has cleavage. They ought to worry if she hasn't any." -- Marilyn Monroe.

im a girl just like everybody else. im nothing special, im just another undecided soul floating around looking for her purpose. i have found hope in my Savior, but its hard for me to keep that in mind to fall back on. i was one of those many people so obsessed with the idea of experiencing that rush of love that i became consumed with a totally wrong concept of what love is truly meant to be. one of those people on the great quest to find love but saw it as a lost cause. but then, i met him. the one that gave me that rush, my love. the one who has entered the part of my heart that no one else gets to partake in the joy of receiving. that part is eternally his & i never want it back. i didnt realize that i could ever feel this way about a person, none the less about him in general. i didnt even know that such a feeling existed. its a feeling i cant explain. there isnt a word strong enough in meaning to grasp the depth of this love that burns inside me.

love hurts so good. thats how i put it. its the most amazing, painful, beautiful, unexpected, glorious things God has created. this adventure called love has been & will be the most difficult journey ill ever have to trek in my entire life. its strange how one moment youre on top of the world & the next your as low as heartbreak can get you. ive entrusted my whole heart to someone & its up to them to do what they please with it. he takes good care of my heart most of the time. theres been a few times where hes crushed it, but theres no other person who holds the pieces so well in his hands as he does. hes the perfect fix for it, but also the worst break. sometimes this fear comes over me that hes not responsible enough to handle it, but its already his; i cant get it back. i cant help that fear. im afraid that hell hurt me. im scared hes going to put me through that state of heartbreak again. i cant go back to that place. its hard, & almost impossible to escape. it seems dramatic, but love is dramatic when you think about it. it makes me think that i shouldnt be doing this. but maybe, im just not ready yet. i need to grow to trust him & learn how to love him with my greatest ability. i know i dont love him to my highest extent. i know im capable of being even more in love with him then i already am, but that fear is keeping me from that. i think its too soon to let that fear go, & that means that im guarding my heart. & once hes ready for us, im gonna let that guard down & show him a love hes never seen before. well teach each other things we could only learn from each other, & well be in love.

its just gonna take time.

(COPY AND PASTE IT!!!)

**random starbucks frap craving**

maybe before work tonite...

so i got a way different haircut and highlights. i am still getting used to it.i miss my long hair, but this hair style is easier to take care of.

So tomorrow I leave for Carson Newman.
My sister will move into my room.
Coming back to the Boro will never be the same.
My running paths will grow over.
My sisters and friends will be older.
As will I.

So you have about 24-hours to try to contact before I go.

For now, Good-bye Murfreesboro.
I had a good time.

Cara

So I was driving to work going a few miles over the speed limit when a trucker flashes his lights at me.  I slowed down to the speed limit, and as I expected, there was a state trooper sitting on the side of the road just waiting for a speeder.  Well I'm very grateful to that trucker man.  That ever happened to anyone else before?  I'm sure that noone else speeds.  Maybe I'm talking to the wrong crowd.  Oh well.  

Come 5 a.m., I pack up my bags and hit the road for Knoxville.

For College.

For the future.

For a long time.

I'll be back here and there, but it won't be the same.


Goodbye to all my friends to whom I haven't properly said goodbye to.


I will miss you all.


::b

not much really to say, just a lot to think about.  u know those days?

Sorry folks, not much to write about today ... have a night time hash this evening, which should pretty much keep me out of trouble.

On the Jakarta relocation front, Decy continues house hunting.  One of her top two has been just taken. I think Decy is going to try to reach a decison on a house by about Tuesday; then, it has to go thru a security review before leasing.  I'll try to post a pic or two on her favorite sometime this weekend.

Decy's also looking at cars for us.  She is leaning towards Toyota's due to quality, styling, and service in Jakarta ... coupled with good resell values.  Her two favorites right now are the Innova and Fortuner; the first is a like a mini-van, the second like a small SUV. We will need two cars and I suspect that we will likely need to pay cash for both as I don't think the financing will be attractive .... ouch

6 days until college...   it's so hard to believe this summer's gone by so quick.  And the funny thing is I'm not even elated, excited, or whatever word you choose to use about starting a new.  What's with this?  It's like life's turned into one big emotion without excitements (except for Joanne).  Maybe it's better this way.  Hmmm.  One thing I know I have to do this year, I have to keep in touch with Faith. Give faith that fighting chance.  I can't tell where I'll be in 6 months or 2 semesters from now, but I hope and hope and hope that I will still be seeking for the Creator.  Life is so meaningless without that.

Went ice skating yesterday morning, Shanon skated circles around me (as usuall). After skating we went to the beach.. it was a wee bit chilly so I was not in the water too much, went running on the beach... I ran for about twenty minutes, I think my calves are going to fall off soon they hurt so bad :-P. Today Shanon and I took J&J to the water park.. Lots of fun there. Grandpa and I went to the Galley Hatch for steak tonight... ohhh, it was awesome, slow roasted for three or four days to a juicy medium rare that practicaly melted in my mouth... ohh it was good. Took J&J to ice cream afterwards, then movie, now here in front of the comp... yep, that is my life in NH so far.

I got all the classees I asked for.

No joke.  The new schedule system at Oakland screwed up at least half of the schedules... people who have multiple third periods or who have no fourth period or who for some reason have more than or less than six or seven classes on their sheet...

But I got everything I asked for.

1 - Economis S1 / Psychology S2
2 - AP Calculus
3 - JROTC IV
4 - AP English IV
5 - Latin III
6 - Photography

The good:

Got all my classes.  I have first lunch.  Actually have a class with Stephen this year.  Actually have a class with Abby this year.  Have a class with Kelsey again.  DID NOT get a freshman class to teach in JROTC.  Latin III actually made for a class... for now.  They let me into photography even though I didn't really have all the requirements.  (I didn't take Art II.  Shhhhh.)  Three of my friends from work go to Oakland.  And there was a run in with one of them (the hott one) that makes for an amusing story that I will tell you some other time.

The bad:

Latin might fall through and move to Early Day, depending on William, Ella, and a few other people. Right now the only people in the class are myself, Andrew, and Sean.  If it moves, it'll probably move to Early Day, which means I have to drag my ass outta bed at ungod-o'clock in the morning.  It also means that I would have to either take seven classes AGAIN or I would have to give up photography, which is the one class that I have with Michael, Stephen, Abby, and Kelsey.

The FUGLY:

I only have ONE class with Michael Thoe.  Sixth period photography.
I only have ONE class with Rachel Hodorowicz.  Fourth period AP English IV.
I have NO classes with Megan McDonald.  Not a single MOTHER EFFIN' one.

you know what i want more than anything?
i want a boy to sing me. "my kind of rain" by tim mcgraw.
while it's raining outside.
and we are walking together.
holding hands.
and i want him to tell me i'm beautiful.
even if its a complete lie.

and i hate to sound cliche, but life, is good.

sometimes in life things just go wrong.

fortunately, i'm generally able to look back on things, take a step back, and laugh.

take last night, for example.

it's raining and jimi's playing out of my radio.

He wants to give me the world
and I'll follow him anywhere
we ruined each other's plans
but at this point neither of us care
but we've agreed...
we're both too young for this
hah. nothing to do about it now..
and I really like it.
really.really like it.
I could get used to this .love. thing

She's in love with the boy
