I have second lunch anyone have 2nd lunch!!!

I just heard from the daycare - we got the Tuesday/Thursday slot at the Tech daycare.  I hate that we'll have to pull Daniel out of Mother's Day Out, since he loves it there, but the Tech daycare opens an hour earlier and closes almost three hours later.  This means I can do the class and thereby, eventually get my degree.  To this I say YAY!

So here I am at work.  Finding myself bored and waiting until 4:30 when I will get to leave to go see Laura and Jeremy Vince, my team leaders from Poland.  We will be going out to eat and I am so excited!  I can't wait to see them!  I've been working on my scrapbook so I hope that they will like it!

In other news, Trent made it home safely from London.  I'm glad he came back when he did because of all the terrorist activity in London right now.  It's pretty scary.  Anyway, I did get to see him in London and that was pretty awesome.  Got to see a show at the Globe Theatre and watched part of A Comedy of Errors.  We couldn't watch it all because we had gotten in so late that we couldn't eat before and needed to eat before everything closed.  So we had to eat after intermission.  The play was really good...the part that I saw of it! 

Also, I get to do two presentations on Poland before I leave.  These will both happen on Sunday.  One Sunday morning that has to tie into the sermon and one on Sunday evening that can be a few minutes longer and I think will be more general. 

Well, I guess I should get back to work....but no one is here.  We haven't had a customer in the past 20 minutes and I'm really bored but I figure I shouldn't be playing on the internet.  So later guys.  I'll be online tonight later if you want to talk.

hmmm. went through some of my old notebooks the other day. found this. wrote it last year in 9th. thought it might be nice to get some feedback since only one person has read it. so....read. and comment. or dont. do whatever.

...

Confrontation of Pessimist and Optimist.

"Stop."
"How do you partake in such obscenities?" he asked.
"Scars breed on the soft skin that hugs your kneecaps,
And you are getting wrinkles in the creases of a beautiful face I once loved.
Dark bags are even beginning to hang from bloodshot eyes.
Tell me now Lover, how does it feel to know that your beauty and youth are detoriating even as we speak?
Every step you take brings you closer to the end,
And every breath brings you nearer to polluted lungs.
Stop tapping your toe now before there is no song left to sing!"

"Hush," she said.
"The scars are from falling, but no harm ever came from trying.
The wrinkles are from laughing; always remember to enjoy the small things.
I have bags for life is too short and splendorous to close one's eyes.
Tell me Lover, how does it feel to not know you let life pass you by in oblivion?
Life is a waltz.
Sometimes you fall, but you have to keep on dancing,
For you cannot have ever truly lived without failing.
Keep on breathing until the end and you won't have a thing to regret."
And with that she continued on with her dancing.

I need your help. Seriously.  PLEASE READ.

Last night I shared dinner with some of my friends, including a Muslim Pakastani family who I very much respect and like.  We talked about religion in an entirely cordial, professional, and open manner.  What I heard absolutely shocked me.  Read on.

According to my friend, the Muslims are protecting and preserving a christian church.  According to their own writings, it is in that church that the Muslims expect Jesus to return as King.  IS THIS TRUE?

I can't write down all I heard last night, but was absolutely shocking to learn how much common history and beliefs the Muslims share with Christians and Jews.  What I heard last night made me realize that Muslims are truly our brothers ... sadly there are fanatics and extremists that are giving mainstream Muslims a bad reputation ... which should be a lesson for Christians, that we should always at in love and kindness ... not hatred, bigotry, and damnation.

The following are not credited, to protect the guilty.  Bear in mind, all this happened within a relatively short frame of time.

[On purple] "It's like pink, with blue mixed in!"

"I just have no gag reflex."

"Don't eat salsa off the floor."

"Let's just fast-forward it to the part where Marissa dies."
*Room agrees excitedly.*

"...And we're about to watch Pretty in Pink.  Sorry if it's a little girly, but you weren't here when we made the decision."

"YEAH, CHIHUAHUA MY ASS!"

"It's the sugar.  Wait, we haven't even eaten the sugar!"

"I'm going to spoon it!"

Plus various other quotes which involve spooning something [typical] or someone [less typical].

"[NAME], the apple's supposed to glow."

LATER, in another part of the jungle...

"[MALE NAME], let us put makeup on you!"
"Uhhh... Hold on, let me grab the vodka bottle..." [and a shot glass] "Okay, I'm all set!"

"Well [CHILD] was doing really well, until she put blush on his forehead."

"No dear, that's lipstick, he doesn't need more of that."

"I really like the blue sparkle mustache."

[MALE NAME] "It's not coming off!!!!!  How can a five-year-old put on makeup that solidly???!!"

"I feel pretty, oh so pretty... Hey [MALE NAME [the maquillaged one]], how does the rest of that song go?"
"Pretty, and witty, and ga-- Oh.  Dammit!"

"I was thinking more like Egyptian drag queen."
"So do you think we should do the aqua first, or the gold?"

"Ooh, photo op!  Let's add a sword!"

[Later, in the echoing stairwell near midnight] "Have fun with the porn film!"

Well I’ve just got my VISA,

 

 

witch mean to I will see you all this tear:)

what is there to say about school?  went today. got my schedule. have to get my schedule changed since i have 2 arts and no physics.  the teachers seem pretty cool. i have no great dislike for any of them. and actually think ill enjoy a lot of my classes.

i dont have to baby sit today. so thats a good sign. unfortunatly i have nothing to do since the people i was plannin on doin somthing with either couldnt or canceled on me.  so right now im just sittin here. maybe ill go to target or somewhere just outta the house. i donno.

soccer practice today at 4.  not sure if im lookin forward to it today or not. we did suicides yesterday. which actually i dont mind much.

remarks please?

edit: ok so i just got a call from the air force tryin to recruit people and i must say im actually considering it.  i mean you dont have to go across seas right? there are things to do in the united states right? and they pay for all of college which would be a big help.  and i could work in architecture. i just dont know. its a possibility....anyone know anything about the air force that could help me? 

remarks still wanted.

at the garish break of dawn i woke up and drove to oakland.

only to be barked at by some evil voice coming through the intercom telling me that- yes, i must tuck in my shirts..among other things and- student ids willl be worn at all times..

.somebody save me.

then im informed that teacher aiding isnt allowed anymore...im going to fight.

i'm dissapointed in my self. i was just looking at my checking account and i realized how much money i spend on frivolous stuff. like the most expensive stuff i buy is like clothes (which i dont buy that much of, but i did by an expensive pair of running shoes the other day, but they were worth it, their like running on clouds) and food, and gas. now the gas is understandable right? but i wish i had a different car. a more economical car. the clothes i need cause mine dont really fit. but what really gets me is the eating out. i need to stop it. but it's a good way to hang out with friends. i didnt really get to see that many friends this summer, but when i did, we ate out.

i need to force my self to live on a budget some how or another. it's going to be more difficult i recon since i'm living in an apartment and i dont have a meal plan, but i'll figure it out. i'm just so mad that i spent so much money this past summer. oh well. some of it was worth it. like buying gas for the boat. or when i went on trips or going out to eat. and i guess the clothes and shoes were worth it.

i guess i just didnt realize how expensive it is to grow up.

anyways. i only have one night left to work at nissan. heck ya

i dont like the place, but you cant beat the money.

My schedule for this fall was laid out carefully so that I could take classes and not have to pay any more for daycare than we have to, seeing as co-op jobs aren't exactly lucrative hobbies.  It was all going well until the professor of one class decided to change the day and time of our class three weeks before classes start.  Now, I may not be able to take the class.  No problem, right?  I could just take it the next time around, right?  WRONG.  It's only offered every two years.  That would mean I could next take the class in the fall of 2008, and I would not be able to do my student teaching until the spring of 2009.  Josh will be graduating in 2007 or 2008, and we'll be moving as soon as possible thereafter so that he can get a job.  You see how this would cause some problems.  It would be difficult to take a class if you're in a different city or even a different state.  I am a bit peeved, and also freaking out.  The good news is that without the education classes, I could graduate with a degree and 2 minors this December.  

well....well....well....2day was my 1st day @ skool,,n when i got 2 skool dis mornin' i was lookin 4 my name on da board,,which tells me where my homeroom is,,n then i was shocked 4 a sec cz i cudnt find my name there,,so,,i went to d office n asked them,,n then finally i knw where 2 go,,n then when i got 2 my homeroom,,i finally got my schedule..but then i still not familiar wit d campus yet,,so guess wat???i got lost so many times =p n also i got REALLY..X-TREMELY DIZZY cz i ddnt hv breakfast,,n dats also bcuz i got up late dis mornin'.....well dats wat was happenin' 2day @ my new skool,,bjs 2 all of u dat read dis...

For those of you who have seen the movie "Troy", I really like a lot of the mini-speeches given in that movie.  However, I have recently discovered a whole new level of meaning in one particular speech given by Achilles, because I am, in a way, living what he talks about at the moment...

"Every moment is more precious because we are doomed.  You will never be lovelier than you are now.  We will never be here again."

Moving to college means that a lot of things in my life are ending.  But a lot of things are just beginning, as well.  And some things that seem as if they've begun far too late may be that way for a reason, and perhaps they don't have to end now, if we don't want them to.  I will deal with that in the next week, and we'll decide what to do from there, I suppose.

"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope."--Psalm 130:5

...I thought I'd take a moment to say that my inner thighs near my crotch are chaffing like a champ, and I'd like nothing more than to die right now, it hurts so much.

I edited my profile and added some movies to my list, and the stupid thing automatically changed my birthday to January 1st. I keep having to change it back.

My Senior Pictures turned out way better than I thought.

These are the ones that I like the most:

(The lighting made it look like I was wearing earrings...)

(Pretty much the only picture that I like that I'm smiling in...)

And for the professional look:

Yeah, so there ya have it.

I guess that makes me a law-violator since they're all copyrighted.

I won't tell the police if you don't.

Danny

how can you hurt someone so much without meaning to and then not even know what you did?

how is it that you can make me cry?

y should all this pain be here?

i hate this.

    In exactly 11hours and 1minute the bell will ring,
&& I will begin my Junior year of highschool....super.

So hey everybody, just started up my phusebox and it's obviously pretty sparse at this point....and you all make me jealous with all of your photos and blogs and crap....but I'll catch up soon enough!

Today I turn 11 Months.  I'm really excited about next month because I get a cake with soccer stuff on it.  I like soccer a lot.  Sometimes, Daddy rolls me the ball, and then says "roll it to daddy!" which means chew vigorously.  And trust me-I do!

I'm still working on that walking stuff.  I don't like not having something to hang on to.  I take steps occasionally, but crawling is much faster and safer.  Plus Mommy and Daddy keep chasing me around on the floor, and there's no way I can get away if I'm trying to walk.  It's a lot of fun!  If they catch me, they tickle me, so I really have to stay on my toes (knees?)  Sometimes they get tired though, so I have to roll over and wait for them to catch up.  I guess they're old.

Mommy and Daddy have new friends.  They're named Mr. Thomas and Ms. Summer, and they go to church with us and live just down the road.  They're really nice, and Ms. Summer is pregnant!  She's having a son, and they named him Daniel, too.  Luckily for all of you, you can just remember that I'm the cute Daniel.

I've started trying to use cups and forks and spoons.  Forks and spoons are easy once the food is on them, but I can't really get food up there... especially if it's slimy.  Cups, on the other hand, are awesome!  Mommy got me some real milk!  No formula for me!  And I get the whole milk!  Not just 2% of it.  I don't really know what the means, but I get an extra 98%, so I'm happy.  I found it makes blowing raspberries even better.  Get a mouth full of milk, and let 'er rip.  Fountains of milk!  It was all over me, mommy... I think I saw some dripping off the light fixture.  Well, I guess I'm off to bed.  I'm told I can have a little homemade ice cream on my birthday, so I know exactly what I'll be dreaming about.

I have alot of small things goin on in my life and 3 REALLY BIG ONES!!! i just really hope i can balance this all out. I have alot of confidence about it, but i really would love some prayers! thanks everyone, or anyone that still goes to my phusebox and will read this. lol. Have a great week guys and gals!!

     Matt~~~~~~

Wow its been such a long time.  Summer is almost over and it has been pretty good except for the last like week but whatever life goes on.  Becky leaves in like 4 days and its gonna be weird.  I helped her pack up some of her stuff yesterday and it really hit me that shell be gone in just a few days.  I hope everyone has had a good summer since its pretty much over

i think im starting to like him :D

i think he likes me. :D

i think this was really complicated, but now its not. :]

i think im excited for school to start now.

what a great end to summer :D  

I go home in two days. Yippee!

watz up everyone- so my junior year starts tomorrow!! dang i am not looking foward to that at all! well i guess we (class of '08) only have 72 weeks so i guess thats a plus. i was trying to think of a pro of going back to school but thats all i could think of. so yea this summer has been great been everywhere from st. louis, missouri to new york city this summer has been great. As i look back God has blessed me in so many ways from my first real job pretty much to getting to travel and get to meet cool friends. So yea i am ready, in a way, to head out to school again. I guess the big thing i have to say that my little sister is going to high school. it really doesn't seem like she should be heading in to high school. it just seemed like yesterday she was being born and then being home schooled with her. So yea sorry to get into the mushy stuff but hey its my post and i will do what i want. so yea to everyone out in phusebox land. HAVE AN AWESOME YEAR @ SCHOOL. As we go out remember the words of Charlie Hall as he says, "Send us with fire to go love the world." As we head back will you make an infulence on your school for Christ or will you go back to your friends who need Christ and act like them!! Have an awesome year -hambone

You realize you're completely and utterly lost?

During the daytime it isn't so bad, because I have friends to harrass and I keep my thoughts about everything bad in check.

... But when it's just myself, I find my thoughts straying to places I never want to go back to.

I hate the corporate world.  I hate buisness.  I hate, especially, cutthroat buissness people.  I hate calling people I don't know, to ask questions they don't want to answer.  I hate extension numbers.  I hate Japanese buisnesses in Alabama.  I hate condecending people.  I hate rude people.  I hate how I take EVERYTHING personally.  I hate Human Resources.  I hate Accounts Payable.  I hate 8-5.  I hate electrical engineers.  I hate having to lie for my job. 

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. 

I will never, never, never be in buisness.

Well, what to say. Not much except that football is gonna take over my life. ARGGGHHHH!!!!!  Buts ist cool. Where else am i gonna get to hit people really hard and not get into trouble for it. We scrimmaged Tullahoma last night and beat them 26-13.  Oh yes. The Oakland Patriots are comin so u better recognize. LOL I hope everyones summer went pretty well. School tomorrow.

-Goodman-

Honor really is a tricky thing. There is a fine line where yours encroaches on that of another, and it's an easy line to stumble over. In an attempt to protect someone else's honor, you may end up damaging your own. You step back to take stock of the situation and mend what is broken, and you lose track of the person you were trying to protect. It's a peculiar thing, really. There's obviously a balance point, the  trick is finding precisely where it is. Only then can EVERYONE be safe in their honor.

I miss writing a lot. I keep saying that I need to do it more, but I never can get in the right zone for it. The truth is, though (and dont tell anyone in my family I said this or they'll make me do it, lol), that there is something else that I miss even more. Something that I have missed since high school, since all of the fun times in multiple areas of life for 3 years.

I miss singing. :-(

Hi everyone.

I am extremely bored... gd thing is i go get a new flute today... i always hated the other one! LOL!

well as most of you know i got back from texas yesterday.

it was soooooooo........ hot. and i went to the rodeo!  YAY! 
at the rodeo this bull almost attacked me. i was so scared. LOL

well i am excited about church tonight.
i start school tomorrow ...... (poor me)

oh and for the people in relentless jh do you know whose fusion group i am in well please remark me!

Thanks

Emily
P.S. see ya tonight

*sudden silence in all conversation*

me: "i really wanna hit that . . ."

*everyone turns and stares*

good times . . .

and, uh, there are some things that no one wants to watch in public.

keep yourselves under control or i will have to break out the Flip-Flop of Morality.

and remember: the queen is always watching . . .

guess what?

school starts tomorrow

Why do we constantly worry about petty things?

Why is it that we are more concerned with what the cute stranger thinks of our appearance than we are about what type of person we are becoming?

Why do we worry that we will be remembered as the geek or the ugly kid or something else socially damaging instead of focusing on being remembered for being a good person, a kind heart?

In the end will it matter whether in high school you were a part of the out crowd or part of the in crowd? No it won't.

Will it matter what that cute stranger thought you were hot when all is said and done? Not really.

Will it really make a difference that you were popular and cool in the end when you are alone? Nope.

What difference will it make whether you were attractive or not when people can't stand you because you are petty and shallow? Absolutely none at all.

All those petty, superficial things we worry about all come down to nothing in the end. They will mean absolutely nothing when we are all old and when we are dead and gone. No one in the history books is celebrated because they were petty, shallow, and vain.

So I"m here in Orlando, and today we went to the beach, and it was pretty freaking awesome.
Since we went to the gulf side of florida, we got to see the sun set over the ocean, and it was pretty flippin sweet.  And just being at the beach and everything was a super blast.  O yeah... amazing.
Tomorrow at 11:40 I'm going to do my drama solo, and I"m really not that nervous at all.  I'm just... going to do it... and I guess we'll see how it goes.
Yep, Orlando is definitely an amazing place. 
Tomorrow should be interesting all of my youth group is going to go to universal, but I'm going to hang out with my old youth pastor.  He doesn't get done judging until six, so maybe I can hook up with some of my Texas friends, or just get to watch some hype competitors.
So yep.. GOod times ;)

i think i will write a letter...cause plane tickets to boston are too much money.

So where have Chely and Thasya disappeared to?  They haven't blogged lately ... probably because they are incredibly busy right now.

After many days of testing, interviewing, meetings, yadi yadi yadi, JIS accepted both girls.  This was on Tuesday AM ... and orientation began immediately and continues for 2 days.  Classes start on Thursday.  We will need to give "our regrets" to AIS - I think Decy called them yesterday and I will follow up with an email today thanking them for their patience.

At that same time that is going on, Decy checked out an acceptable (from company security perspective) alternative hotel that is closer to the school but much further from my office.  Given that I don't arrive for 3 weeks, she opts for changing hotels ... and moved last night ... she is at the Kristal, which has a website if anybody is interested.

As if the above isn't enough to do, Decy is house hunting ... or "hunting houses" as she calls it ... sounds funny that way ... like she is going to shoot one.   She's probably looked at 6-7 already ... found two she liked ... and will continue the process and look at some more for the remainder of the week.  Goal is to narrow down this week to where the top one or two can go through the security clearance process.  If acceptable, then serious detailed negotations can begin ....

As for me .... BORING ... work continues.  Thankfully tonight I have a dinner to go to ... that will break up the week.  Plus, this Friday we are going to have a "Full Moon Hash" starting at 7pm ... those are particularly fun ...

ciao ciao ...

You
Should Rule Saturn

Saturn is a mysterious planet that
can rarely be seen with the naked eye.


You are perfect to rule Saturn because like its rings, you don't always follow
the rules of nature.

And like Saturn, to really be able to understand you, someone delve beyond your
appearance.


You are not an easy person to befriend. However, once you enter a friendship,
you'll be a friend for life.

You think slowly but deeply. You only gain great understanding after a
situation has past.

 

 

You Are
68% Brutally Honest

Most of the time, you tell it like
it is. Even if it's hard for people to hear.

Sometimes you hold back though, because you never want your honesty to be hurtful.

 

 

Your
Rising Sign is Gemini

You often feel torn between two
dominant personalities.

Sometimes you're adaptable and friendly; other times indecisive and unsure.


No matter what, you're the life of the party or conversation.

Witty and talkative, you entertain with your stories and gossip.


It's a bit difficult for you to finish what you start - jobs, friendships,
relationships...

There's so much you want to try. You often bite off more than you can chew.

well, i am back. from TEXAS. where dairy queen is their stop sign. <interesting but true fact>. well not much to say now. I've missed every one like crazy and can't wait til school starts <for the friends>...lol. can't wait until everyone gets back from fine arts. Hope ya'll place! in something! anything...lol...jk! well, not much to say now...oh yea...since last school year... i've lost 2 and i proudly say 2 dress sizes...YAY. i would have to say my fave part of gettin ready for school is the shopping! lol. for clothes that is. well see everyone tomorrow... or thursday! love Ya

Today was nice... woke up and surfed the internet while waiting for my cousin to wake up. Once she woke up we took a three mile run with their dog. Went to the beach... made a sand castle, played in the freezing water some, read my book, and surprisingly got a little bit of sunburn. Once arriving at my Grandparents house I then proceded off to get some sandals and sunglasses. Lasagana for dinner and then more internet (now). Nice to relax and not have to be somewhere at any certain time.

ONLY PICTURES!!!!







I'm gonna miss yall..

As I walked to the nursing home from grandma's room in assistant living, I felt like I was about to witness an execution. When I got there, that is exactly what I saw. To see my grandfather so thin, fragile, and frail, sitting in a wheel chair, looking so alone and empty... it was exactly like seeing an execution. A few tears managed to escape from the overwhelming flood that wanted to come out. To see a man who survived WWII, raised a family, preached, counseled, and made us all laugh just a few years before, has now had purpose stripped away from him. I know he lived for purpose, just as I do, and it kills me to see this way. I pray and ask God to take him away soon, out of my love for him. I just want him to be happy and in peace. He doesn't get that in the dark nursing home room that too much resembles a hospital with the lady down the hallway that screams at the top of her lungs. Her cry is the cry that many there feel. No hope, no peace.

As I am here in Mississippi this week, I brought a book to read. It's a fiction book about a girl with schizophrenia (from her perspective). Scizophrenia and Alzheimer's have some amazing similarities, and to witness these two lives and two experiences at once is overwhelming and eye-opening. Mental illness is one of those things that I don't understand... I mean, why would God allow that to happen? I suppose to make people, like me, who witness these tragedies to realize that I am not in control. I can lose my mind any day. My world can simply fall apart within a few weeks, days, hours, even minutes. But it's God that keeps me going. I hope that God is giving my granddad some comfort through our little visits. I hope that when he does pass, that he passes knowing that he is leaving behind a great legacy, and a family that loves him and wants to live full lives such as his. I hope that God gives him those two realizations as he passes from this life and into eternity.

We
fall so we can learn to pick ourselves back up

something crazy happened in that last post. it didnt turn out right at all. i think i pushed tab and then hit enter and it switched forms. oh well. these pics were supposed to be in it.

i wanna go back to florida. any takers?

another day of sleeplessness. kinda sucks. but only two more three more days of work left. heck ya. i'm sad cause i feel like no one wants to hang out with me much anymore. i dont know why this is. whether it's true or just a stupid feeling, i dont know. someone once told me that i had changed, but in the end, it was them that had changed. and in a way, they were really just living a lie cause they had been covering up what was going on in the first place. i think what it is, i have a strong beliefe system. and i know whats right and wrong. but some people know whats right and wrong and dont care. thats why i love MY FRIENDS FROM BELLE AIRE. they have the same morals as me. i enjoy being around them. being around them make me want to come back to the boro piece i wanna go back to florida

I really thought that this pic was amazing because it's so simple.

you comment nazi's!!!

Hey tonight is Encounter at 7:07pm. For all college and career age 18-30  come and bring a friend!

I can NOT find that game ANYWHERE! Of course that's just my luck to start liking a game when stores stop carrying it!

Apparently, Both Wal-marts, Target, Hastings, Rhino's, Media Replay, and K-Mart are all in CAHOOTS to keep me from the game I want so much.

Now I have to go all the way to Wal-mart so I can buy myself a giftcard, then come all the way back to the computer to Shop at Wal-mart.com and spend the money on that giftcard to order a DDR Bundle Pak and another Pad. THEN I will have to wait about a week to get the game, unless I spend money for 2-day shipping, but that's like 30 extra bucks!

Pant. Pant.

So besides that. Nothing much going on.

Okay, when the people that choose music to play on the radio find a good song that other people actually like, they play it way too much.  This is why I don’t listen to the radio anymore.  But I do hear a little bit while switching CDs, and almost every time I do hear it, there is the same song playing.  Now, I know that this song is being overplayed, but since I am not the one having to listen to it over and over, I rather enjoy having a good song play while I search for another CD.  In case anyone reading this is wondering what drove me to write about such random crap, the answer is… well there is no answer.  I’m just that bored.  Anyhow, here are my lyrics for the day:

 

If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that?
Would you like that?

And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

No

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Try to find out what makes you tick
As I lie down
Sore and sick
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

There's a fine line between love and hate
And I don't mind
Just let me say that I like that
I like that

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone
What have I become

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane

 

“The Diary of Jane” by Breaking Benjamin

I cant believe I woke up to go to school.  Ah well.  I hope you all are having a grand summer.  I am gonna go spend the rest of it in bed I think...

It's so sad that we're all going away so soon.  I mean, I'm looking forward to it and all, but it's still really sad....so yeah, night fellas.

ok so @ that conference i met this guy.

and he is joy [my cousin] boyfriends friend.

and everyone is telling me how nice && smart && talented he is && blah blah blah good stuff about him && that he is my age. but i personally dont know him. i mean i got introduced to him a bunch of times but i really dont know him but everyone is like well he is coming down here to visit next time dave [joys bf] comes.

and then joy goes. well when me && dave get married [they have been talking about that for a while now] that im ganna be a bridesmaid && HE ^^ is ganna be a grooms man. so joy was like well u better get to know him cause hes the one ur ganna be walking down the isle with @ my wedding....

so idk if i should like him, or if i do, or if i just think i do cuase everyone is telling me i should.

but then when i got back from camp this guy [thomas] started talking to me.

well, i guess he is a nice guy. he goes to my school and at the beginning of freshman year he dated this girl i know. so he also know a ton of people i know, but i really dont know him all that well. he seems like a really sweet guy though. :]

but idk if i like him or if i like the other guy. cause both of them seem really nice. its just ive heard a lot more about the other guy, but he lives in Penn. but thomas lives in farragut and goes to my school. they are both my age, so that really doesnt matter in this situation. so im just kinda confussed about who i like and who i should like. and why i like him. and stuff like that.

but see im getting the feeling that thomas like me. but idk.

but idk if the other guy likes me or not. but im gnana have to see him everytime dave comes down to tn to see joy. and if he does like me && i just dont know, it will seem to him like im blowing him off or something. so idk. this is so confussing...

help?

wow that was long.

why do you make promises you cant keep?

why do you make promises you wont keep?

why does it still seem i cant get you out of my head?

why is it possible that i love you?

why?

edit: on another note, im pretty sure that im going to go insane.  we're gettin a new roof that people are putting on right now and the hammering is driving me insane.  theres no peace. and right when its quiet and you think you get peace, it starts again. 

It's not even 9am yet, and I'm already on the internet.  And not playing Guild Wars for once.

I can't say I have much to say about what's going on, other than how I wonder my parents will feel about me not going back to school.  I'll probably get kicked out of the house.  I don't know.

My mind is at a complete blank at the moment.  It's as if a giant cloud came out of the sky to become fog, just to annoy me.

Well, anywho.  I guess I'll go back to doing other things.  Yay for random Six Flags trip tomorrow!

how come there are things that you cant controll that you worry about wayyyyyyy to much. things that you cant make better. things that just take time.

i hate seeing people in pain. i hate not haveing anything to say.

its not even going to get better. for the next 2 months its only going to get worse and theres nothing that i can do for him, but be there. its all between him and God.

well school has officialy started. its so weird! it still hasnt hit me that summer is really over....crazy.

anyways. spirtually, ive been going through a lot lately.  its nothing that i can actually pin-point like "so, Lord that's what I'm doing wrong" or "okay that's what I need to do God". ITs just been these ongoing feelings that have really tied me down.  Maybe it's this whole "starting a new year of school thing" ....or maybe i am extremely SAD that summer has come to an end...it's like I've become attached to this season of my life and I don't want to start another chapter.  I've grown so much this summer, I've seen God work in beautiful ways, I've seen God work in ME! a worthless sinner, I've met people and established relationships that I will cherish forever, and I've learned so much about myself and the plan God has for me.  So maybe I JUST answered my own question. Maybe this isnt a spiritual battle (although it very well could be) but its just a part of me that doesnt want to let go of summer and that place of "comfort" that I've grown so attached to during that season.

WOW! Jesus is funny.. I log on to Phusebox think Im writing a blog asking for others opinion/advice on what I've been going through and I think He just answered my question for me. God is AWEsOME! please keep praying ....

ALoha in our Lord Jesus Christ,

Today was one of those days that summer is made of.

You sit at home killing time for a few hours by munching on whatever random food comes to mind and watching whatever happens to be on tv.

Then you go out to the mall to pick up your measly paycheck from your part time job.  While at the mall, you run into two of the three close friends you have that AREN'T at band camp.

Fun ensues.

Today had shirt-buying, house-touring, strip-teasing, DDR-playing, music-listening, pizza-eating, movie-watching, and of course... that good ol' laughing-till-you-cry.

Cameron and Aaron and (later) Megan made my day.

I think it definately falls in the top ten days of this summer.

This is another one of my monologues inspired by recent thoughts, conversations, and emotions. Nothing is quoted from any conversation or from any one encounter. I don't have a title yet, but any ideas are welcome.

How can you look at me as if I have betrayed you? Are you angry, hurt? Because I didn't choose one of  you, country and southern? Is that fair? I chose from my heart, and you know I respect that above everything. So I did something unexpected. I went beyond the farms and the country. I went beyond the horse shows and southern accents. Maybe it's because I grew up. I don't know. Did you expect me to pick one of you because we were playmates, because we spent so many days playing together? It's different now. We aren't ten years old anymore; those days are a bit past us now don't you think? No I don't want to leave them behind and forget them. But it is time to look past them.

We are friends forever, guys; we come from the same backwoods lifestyle and have the same country attitudes, and we are friends. We fished together, swam together, played cowboys and indians together, laughed together, rode horses and four wheelers together. But that makes us friends and family, not couple material. You should know that by now. It won't work; I know it won't. I made a choice. Yankee? Yeah, he is. City? That too. But he makes me feel good, he makes me smile and laugh. I fell in love. And if you can't understand that then maybe we should part ways.

There you go again. Giving me that betrayed, hurt look. You can't make me change my mind. I haven't changed. I'm still me. I'm the same girl. Don't even say it. I know you're thinking that you can make me change. What are you going to do? Take away my toys and throw dirt at me? We're not seven anymore; that won't help you, and it won't hurt me. Trust me for a change. We aren't kids anymore. And you don't have to protect me. I'm a big girl; I can make my own descisions and fight my own fights.

Dear State of Tennessee,


       Do you not realize that some states never tax clothing. and
also, that in the state of florida, food  like @ walmart is untaxed.


I'm glad yall had soooo much fun spending money this weekend


friday = 9 hours @ American Eagle

Saturday = 8 Hours @ AE

Sunday = 6 hours @ Jason's Deli

today = 5 hours @ the deli + 6 hours 45 minutes @ AE = 11 hours 45 minutes

tomorrow = Same as today.


Last wednesday = last day off

Sunday = next day off.


goodnight.

i just recently realized, and this applies to me, it may not to u, but i found this out. 

for me there is no regrets in what has been done or said, there is just learning and growth.  i dont think i regret much, i may be sad or suprised by what i have done, but i would never take back anything that i "regret",  its such a great experience of learning.  Weather u want to go through it or not, u gatta love it.

Ok well, adam and I finished our journey to texas, but now we are in Orlando for Fine Arts with our youth group.  Tommorrow we are going to the beach, it will be a lot of fun.  OK... I'm done. bye

So after many busy days and limited internet access I can now update... I am in New Hampshire, where I will be for the next couple of weeks. I arrived about four hours ago and am staying at my Aunts house tonight. After everything that I have had going on this summer this should be a very good break for me.

As everybody knows, Decy is in Indonesia and I'm here alone in Angola.  Decy always does a good job of stocking up on food for me ... and pre-prepares dinners for me.

So, with high confidence and in recognition that she had been gone more than a week, I decided to do a quick check on the food supply.  Results are as follows:

Dinners - appears to be sufficient for the next 3 weeks

Beverages - appears to be more than sufficient for the next 3 weeks, I will have to give a bunch a way

Lunches - hhhhmmmm,  24 buns (for sandwhiches), 22 slices of cheese, lunch meat for 8 sandwhiches ..... 15 remaining work days.  Yikes, the mathematics don't quite work ...

... running to nearest Safeway doesn't quite work here in Angola .... looks like I will be "challenged" in the sandwhich department next week .... I better start scoping out alternatives.

ciao ciao

So yeah, Siegel had the first day of band camp today. It went very well, we put 15 or 20 sets on the field with music, so it's exciting.

I have tan lines on my feet. :-)

This [today's horoscope]:

"Put aside the routine chores for now. Some extraordinary opportunities are yours to be had if you're ready. It's a win-win situation however you end up. You know how to make the most of the chances coming your way."

Coupled with this [words spoken to me after an audition]:

"Good.  Very good.  We are definitely going to call you back."

=

Happy Kelly.

However... Mum calling during auditions [!!!!!!!!!!!!] + me expressing [what I think to be justifiable] anger that she called during auditions + her hanging up on me when I informed her of the severe gauche-ness that calling during auditions entails + her later speaking to me only in dang-fang-rippin' monosyllables because I expressed said anger = Not-so-happy Kelly.

And other factors too trivial to detail online.

I've been here thirty minutes, and we still haven't seen each other

Phew.  At first I thought she was watching L.A. Confidential, which she only does when she wants to vicariously kill someone [her words].  But no, it's just Witness.

And I don't feel well.

Okay, sorry to bitch.  Today I've done things most people only dream of, and I'm complaining that Mum and I are on the outs.

Sorrysorrysorry.  [I mean it.]

I need//want to get drunk.  You think I'm joking.

and.hearts.

I went to the amazing Murfreesboro , Tennessee.. and everyone is sweet there . They all say its boring, its not that bad. MTSU is great, Gods definately made me feel thats the place for me. And recently I have just realized how great God really is, like I take life for granted  so much. When God has blessed and givin me so much. I couldnt ask more from him , its just like how he did that for us is amazing, not only does he forgive us, but he puts up with us... but it is obviously because he loves all of us.  But I need to give God credit more... its not about US and what we want... ITS ALL ABOUT HIM , GOD, ALPHA OMEGA.. EXC.  He is amazing, and what is prob the coolest thing that happened to me this past weekend, is my last night I was all sad and stuff, but my friend Liz and I were just sitting in our hotel thing ... at like 2 in the morning... and this woman walked up the stairs, and I ended up talking to her for about an hour and ended up sharing my testimony with her... and it made her day  and my whole trip... and she promised me she would visit the Belle Aire Baptist Church one day... so if yall ever met a woman named Rhonda say hey to her for me and see how she is doing. I love how God makes things happen on a chain reaction... and you realize it at the end... its so amazing .But everything I have realized is what God wants not me... so I will pray that I listen more to him .. and not just myself .This summer has been hard , but I have gotten through it  , and  closing it up with some great TN people was fun .. but I am going to the beach in like two days  with some friends so that will be fun too!!!

Well I hope everyones last week and a half of summer is great...and everyone go listen to The Face Of Love by Sanctus Real .. because that song is amazing, and the lyrics have really been setting in me

Love you guys  

~in him~

sarah

i guess i didn't have to write all that up there. anyway.. i want to chop it all off. and i really like how this looks

"Hear Me"

Hear me
Hear me

You gotta be out there
You gotta be somewhere
Wherever you are
I'm waiting
'Cause there are these nights when
I sing myself to sleep
And I'm hopin' my dreams
Bring you close to me
Are you listening?

Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me

Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me

I used to be scared of
Letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
No one to talk to
And no one to hold me
I'm not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening?

Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me

I'm restless and wild
I fall, but I try
I need someone to understand
Can you hear me?
I'm lost in my thoughts
And baby I've fought
For all that I've got
Can you hear me?

Hear me
I'm cryin' out
I'm ready now
Turn my world upside down
Find me
I'm lost inside the crowd
It's getting loud
I need you to see
I'm screaming for you to please
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me
Can you hear me?
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Hear me
Hear me
Hear me

yeah okay this my song to someone but i will never tell and maybe just maybe someone will read this and no my feeling and maybe just maybe God will send us together.

i can't describe how my heart feels right now.....

Just Me

well i am now finally SIXTEEN! i cant believe it! its finally here.. i have wanted this for so long! most of you know the whole deal of how i couldnt do some things untill i was sixteen...dating for example...well i could never imagine someone going through all that voluntarily and putting themself through that..all that just for me. but i found someone who did and i am so blessed for that person and their pacience toward me. it meant so much to to see him wait it out with me and at the end say that it was all worth it. i am so blessed...and for that reason i would have to say my "Super Sweet Sixteen" was wwaayy better than any one of those kids birthdays on that t.v. show.. even if i didnt get a million dollar car or a huge party in some club somewhere.. i think i got something much greater out of MY birthday and  that means more to me than those material things! so thanks so much Ben for doing all you did for me and waiting for me too. NOW i understand where those kids are coming from when they say...

"No one will ever top this!"

oh yeah, if you guys want to know all the details with me and ben's dinner date then just call or ask me.. i would be more than happy to tell you all about it!!! : )

I got a promotion at the recruiting office where I work.

I'm now a spy!

That's right. 

If we don't hear from a buisness that interviewed one of our candidates, we become suspicious that they hired them without telling us, thereby cheating us out of money.  My job is to innocently call these companies and ask for the candidate in question.  I have to hide the fact that I'm from a recruiting company; these corporations hate recruiters calling their employees.  If all is well, I will be told that I have a wrong number or that no one by the candidate's name works there.  That means the company was honest, and just didn't hire the candidate.  If, however, I get put through to the candidate, I still have to try to hide who I am (which is harder in this step, since candidates can be suspicious and even hostile), but I have to try to figure out how long they've been working there, and then I alert my boss, who contacts the company to tell them they're cheating us out of money.

It's pretty exciting.

But I still only make 6 dollars an hour.

Whatever.

until school starts.

how gay.

so school starts on a friday. and its also a 1/2 day.

stupid.

my mom so bought me a full tank of gas today!

that makes me happy

i just downloaded aim triton!!!

Not much to say today, I have to go get new tags for my car soon, which won’t be fun.  But really, I have nothing to do.  Even if I did have something to do, I only have $10.92, all of which is going towards gas.  I’m really feeling the downside of not having a job, but then again I make a good bum, so it’s all good.  Anyhow, my lyrics for today are:

 

It takes some time
you look at me
you don't like what you see
I don't like who I am
I can change, I can change.

It takes some time
in your factory
if there's a recipe
just tell me what to do
and I'll slowly rearrange

it takes some time
so bare with me
you're always there with me
looking in the mirror
it's much clearer now, I hear ya now
echoes in my ear I can change but do I want to?
nevermind...every time...what you say...when you want it

Find myself inside myself and no one else can find it for me
Find myself all by myself and no one else can find it for me

Find myself inside myself and no one else can find it for me
Find myself all by myself and no one else can find it for me

It takes some time
too much time with you
I don't know what to do
taking time is wasting time
and I'm not wasting away mine
someone is telling me, yelling and selling me to their whole crew
rendezvous (rendezvous)

It takes some time
so don't bother me
you don't like what you see
looking in the mirror
it's much clearer now I hear myself
echoes in my ears, I can change but I don't want to
fine the way I am, I can change but choose not to

It takes some time
but watch is gone
and all my clocks are wrong,
so I don't have the time to change
(I can't change for you)
or anyone
I think i'm enough fun
the way that I am and i'm finding new friends and
I'm not gonna change who I am

Find myself inside myself and no one else can find it for me
Find myself all by myself and no one else can find it for me

...You're sitting at a table with two Catholics and one of your chicken tenders looks like a deep fried fetus.

*crickets*

Nah.  Today wasn't that bad. 

(The deep fried fetus thing is true, though.  In fact, due to unclear speaking and bad hearing, it turned into a joke about "I don't want any nuts on my deep fried penis.")

*more crickets*

Latin kids.  Gotta love 'em.

Actually, today was pretty good.  Even if it didn't get interesting until 7-ish PM.  Got my car back.  YAY!  Played KH2 for a long time.  (I'm playing it again on the expert level.)  Hung with the Latin kids at Logans.  Chilled with Mady watching Sky High and the Batman cartoon series.

For the record... Steven Strait... the kid who plays the I-can-make-fire-with-my-hands-and-speak-Chinese-so-I-bus-tables-at-a-Chinese-resteraunt boy?

Sexy beast.

Thank you.

So yeah....... this weekend was full of parties, dotn worry, they are non-alcoholic/drugs parties...... on Saturday I had my pool party, and this morning I drove up to Waverly and went to church with her (first time at a Nazarene church) and we went to her friends house for their joint belated b-day parties............... it was pretty nifty, and I had a blast, especially just having the chance to see Laura again and be able to go for a walk and just talk alone, I really enjoyed that.......... I am so blessed. Well I g2g. God Bless!

In Christ!

Allen

 today was strange to say the least...don't ask why it just was.

i got new cloths this weekend and school supplies.....its weird.....anyways yeah....
