A Bit of Verse from the Depths of My Mind.
June 25 2006
Hang me from the highest branch.
Scorn me with your sharpest words.
Leave me, trailing, days on days.
Feed my body to the birds.
Rip apart my memories.
Mock the works of mine own hand.
Tell all my love was simple lying.
Sear me with the traitors brand.
Slash out my existence.
Ensconce me in obliging ground.
But know this if ye think to try:
The truth wont die without a sound.

im sittin here in the library wondering what in the world i have to say that would grab your attension...something that will make you laugh or simply make you think...
i guess ill start off by saying that i miss all of you so much... God has reeeally been showing me the huge importance of being surrounded by people that know why they are here...know that this life isnt about nothing...that we have a definite purpose. I am completely surrounded with teenagers that have no idea what they really want...but they are also all very nice people..and i enjoy so much meeting people...its one of my favorite things to do..especially people that are so talented..
ive been so lost in thought today just about the people here that ive met and the people that i will meet throughout my life...and i dont want to sound pessimistic but so many of them seem so very lost...happy but lost...like they are searching and searching for anything to fill them up..also..ive been trapped in thoughts of rain..i know, that sounds kinda lame..maybe..but i love it..i truly do...the other day it poured down big fat drops of water...i watched them fall from the edge of a building until they landed on my face..so very beautiful..it rained only a few minutes ago..everything is cooled off and greener..and dont forget that my hair is soaked..
we had parent day yesterday ...that was so very surreal to me. it went by so fast..we walked through the gallery..i did a painting all for keato-burrito...my mom of course was like aww kelseey!!!...i think they all miss me:-) i was home for a little while too and mom made my favorite homemade soup and i packed up a bunch of it...had it for supper tonight too...anything is better than mcallie..ha. i didi my laundry...and layed on my bed with emily...she left for ecuador this morning and i pretty jealous..she will have been and come back and also be on her way to ireland while im still here at mtsu..how crazy is that?
so...something interesting that happens almost everyday here in the lovely mtsu library is STORY TIME..ha..its halarious ..our latest book was...Do Little Mermaids Wet the Bed?...talk about funny stuff...my friend john reads them to us..all he has to do is open it and ill laugh for 10 minutes straight..i put up a picture of him reading..
all in all governors school is an amazing experience...very mind opening... new fresh outta college teachers that are pretty awesome..new friends..and lots of junk food and dance parties:-) love-kels

another interesting day for me! which is good cuz this is the most exciting weekend ive had in a while. i went to church today for the teen party which was really a thing designed to get more people to help get vbs ready. but it was fun. i spent that time with sierra and jen and a poor unsuspecting girl of the age of almost 12 who had no idea what she was gettin herself into and came out with the nickname ABO (awesome bag opener) due to her skills of opening those tricky bags. and we also put up paper palm trees. we tried to put the top of one on the ceiling as a canopy but it didnt really turn out so we ended up turning it into a flying monkey....
so of course after that we just had to make some friends for our little spider monkey who we named ralph
first there's raoul
and rodriguez (hes the one i made, so of course hes better! lol)
so its been a pretty crazy day for me.
heres a funny pic of sierra
heehee
so pretty interesting day. talk to yall later!! leave me many remarks!!
Oh its on like Donkey Kong baby!
June 25 2006

I Confess
June 25 2006
Ok, so I'm not a poet. But, this moving thing from one 3rd world country to another is such a HASSLE (I have more descriptive words, but I have chosen not to use them). Anyway, step by step ... all 135,462 of them .... key challenge is to get everything in the house straightened up, all trash and low value items discarded, each and every sheet of tissue inventoried. And, if there is any spare time ... say goodbye to some friends that are leaving soon, and won't return before we leave.
Ciao ciao.

I have an announcement to make...
June 25 2006
I... am employed!
Maja, I owe you the world's biggest favor. ^_^
I start Wednesday. Whoo! Cookies, ahoy!
::edit::
Also, my Dad told me that with our mobile phone service package, we have unlimited media messaging. And I realized what that meant... I can send as many pictures from my phone to my email as I want!
So, I realized that I do in fact have a very limited use digital camera! It can't do anything too complicated, but if you look at the pictures I just recently posted, you'll see that it's not impossible to take a good picture with a camera phone.
And for those of you who wanted to see my new do: Voila.
::edit again::
Let the record show that for the first time in human history... Sarah Vermillion has the most remarked entry in the past 24 hours. Whoo!
fearlessSAMV: Hey, my last entry is now the most remarked on phusebox!
fearlessSAMV: *throws confetti*
ohsjenny07: awesome!
ohsjenny07: i've only ever had a most remarked picture
fearlessSAMV: Unless of course... perhaps it's running on EST and "the last 24 hours" is really only since about 10 minutes ago...
ohsjenny07: lol
fearlessSAMV: Hmm. That would be disappointing.
fearlessSAMV: Oh well, I choose to believe that it's because I'm better than everyone else.

This is definitely an improvement over Xanga. Thus far I have not run into any unwanted porn, which is a very good thing. Not to mention the fact that everyone here seems to get along with each other rather well. I haven’t discovered any comments about someone wanting to rip someone else’s throat out, but I can’t guarantee that it isn’t there somewhere. These and many other conveniences offer a very peaceful time reading blogs and making a few friends, even if they’re already my friends and simply can’t figure out who the heck I am. But they will eventually… at least I hope they do.

((i wake up to find its another four aspirin morning and i dive in. i put on the same clothes i wore yesterday. when did society decide that we had to change and wash a tee shirt after every individual use? If its not dirty, i'm gonna wear it. i take the stairs to the car and there's fog on the windows. i need caffeine in my blood stream, i take caffeine to the blood stream. i grip the wheel and all at once i realize my life has become a boring pop song and everyone's singing along))

June 24 2006
Highlights from the past few days....
-- Going from pyjamas-and-last-night's-makeup to office-worthy-presentable, making a Starbucks run, and the drive to Nashville in under 90 minutes {{no small feat for me, particularly the zero-to-presentable aspect}}.
-- Making phone calls and pretending to be a wise, benevolent god of finance at a title company. {{Just use your first name when calling, which implies that they should know you by that alone. Oh yes.}}
-- When asked details I don't know, scrapping the deity concept. "Let me double-check on that ma'am//sir, I'm just a temp worker."
-- Not quite sure if this is a highlight in the Joy-Elation sense, but a gaggle of girls stalked me around the Forever 21 store in Opry Mills examining the racks I touched. It's a tough call between Freakishly Scary or Cute In A Stalker Way.
-- And this definitely isn't a highlight in the Joy-Elation sense: a kiosk worker at Opry Mills stopped me and I first thought he was trying to sell me something. "You wear a ring?" "No thank you, I'm not interested." "No, no, you wear a ring?" Man holds up left hand. Mine is firmly inserted in a pants pocket. I look at my visible right hand.* "No, I'm not wearing a ring. I'm allergic to the metals." Man grins. "Noooo, a ring!" Points at my left hand, points at the ring finger of his own. "Uhhhhh.... I have to go now...." Perhaps not the most eloquent response, but I doubt anything more would have been understood, as his English was a bit spotty. Trauma.
-- A run-in with the unknowing love of my life {{granted, there are many of these}}, Capuccino Man.
-- Prix-Saint-Georges dressage riding at Miller Coliseum. Oh, sweet heaven. Never have I seen more beautiful riding. The freestyle to music routines were all right, but the seven-minute tests where the horse seemed to be floating above the ground were my absolute favourite. Beauty. Almost makes me want to climb back on one of the beasts. Almost. Hmmm....
Camping...
June 24 2006
so camping this week was muy bueno. we had a pretty good time. i will have to tell ya all about it.
the impossible tent
but we accomplished it =)
We tubed 11 miles...but it was fun.
we wanted to go so bad we even tied 3 tubes to the top of my little car...okay not really...only 2.
we jumped off those rocks if you can see them...okay maybe not..but we thought about it....
we got pulled over because apparently your not suppost to have people riding in the back of a moving vehicle in camping chairs...who knew?
Cades Cove
Well it was a very good trip. =)

Florida is amazing.
June 24 2006
I will never forget the car ride i just took back to my Grandmother's from my Uncle Tom's house. I am riding in the passenger seat of her ridiculous manual everything brand new Spectra down some never ending boulevard somwhere between Wellington and Palm Beach. The windows are down, the music is up, and my seat ever so slightly reclined. Allof my senses are ablaze:
The breaze whips through my hair and around my face and arms as Norah Jones sings of the aimless sea on the radio. My nostrils flare excitedly with the lingering smell of my uncles vanilla cigars. In my mouth remains the fading taste of white zinfandel, which also remains, just barely, upon my mindset. My eyes are closed as i dream pathetically of that silly asian boy who has claimed so much of my thoughts lately that it makes me uneasy. Have i the urge to, or if my overly exhausted body would allow it. I could open my eyes and look up to a beautifully black, cloudless, and star-strewn sky.
...i will die in ecstacy.

As much as I can emphasize without getting the improper message across that I am in a personal life and death situation ( as in me backsliding ) I want to do so in saying please pray for me.
I'd appreciate it.
.I must put this in here, what I am saying is that MY WALK WITH GOD IS FINE. Don't worry about that guys, there is just a situation going on around me, my life, whatever, that I really need prayer for. Trust me, you don't need to worry that Adam Rodrigues is questioning his salvation, as one person was concerned about. PLEASE don't think that.
Just pray ;)

So I'm having a conversation over AIM with Graham last night, and I'm right in the middle of saying that I wish I knew what God was doing and so on, when I decided to check my hotmail account. There was a message from a guy I don't know, and I started to delete it, but something told me to open it, so I did. It read:
"Faith's victory is not grounded in the act of believing but in the character and work of the One in whom we believe. We don't have to know all he knows -- we only have to trust that he knows. We don't have to be able to see all he sees -- we only have to gladly trust his vision. We don't have to morally achieve a certain standard -- we only have to trustingly commit to the standard to which he alone attained. He is our faith! His heart, his vision, his faith, his achievement -- these are the nature and essence of our faith and that is why our faith conquers the world (1 John 5:3-5)." Jim McGuiggan

Countdowns!!!
June 24 2006
So here are my summer countdowns...
Today is the first official day of Dead Period (2 weeks where we can't have contact with our coach...therefore no mandatory practices!!)
2 days till I leave to go to West Virginia for a family renioun! (very excited to see my cousin and go on many adventures)
16 days till my seventeenth birthday
22 days till the team leave for cross country camp...a bunch of fun minus the running.
Now I feel like leaving pictures of last summer activities...
rafting in West Virginia
Eating chinese and playing with the chopsticks with my CRAZY cousins.
Cross Country camp in Brevard, North Carolina...beautiful!
I love grandparents!
June 24 2006
Any agreements on that one?
My grandparents and my cousin are in town today. It's always fun when they come down. Dad and Pa go do their manly male-bonding thing, while we (me, Cami, Mom, Nana, and Jayda) go shopping.Great Fun, eh?
DANG!! This massive thunder clap just made me jump out of my seat.
We played in the rain at Krista's birthday party. That was some of the most fun I've had in a while, sure I got pegged with some hail but it was fun getting the lump on my head. We even splashed eahcother, me and Amanda even layed down in the mud!
Return of the King
June 24 2006
Daddy went on vacation, and I got to spend a week with Mommy, Grandmama, and Grandpa. I had a good time, and received the appropriate level of attention and snuggles. It was fun to see them, and we all had a lot of fun.
When Daddy returned, we went home. Daddy started work, and Mommy and I got to spend a lot of time together. Daddy has to go to work before I wake up in the morning, but he usually gets home about 5:00. I miss him during the day, but Mommy takes very good care of me. We play a lot, and I get to talk to Daddy when he calls Mommy.
Mommy has also started taking me to "Mother's Day Out" at church. I go once a week, and I LOVE IT! There are a lot of other kids to play with. I get lots of attention, too, because I smile all the time. Mommy says something about shopping and housework, but I just care about the cool toys and the nice people. This fall, I'll get to go twice a week because Mommy will be taking classes. I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Once again, Mommy and Daddy have been keeping secrets. This whole time, I thought I had to hold on to something when I stand up. Come to find out, it's just a rumor. I can let go of everything and stand just fine. I think it's part of a secret conspiracy to keep me small forever. Oh parents, agents of repression, dark are your hearts. Your pro-crawl beliefs have no place here. I have conquered our home. Next I shall conquer gravity.
I'm cutting tooth number 5. Teeth are fun, because when I bite with them, people make more noise. Now they think twice before attempting carpet fuzz extraction.
Right now I'm visiting Grandmama and Grandpa again. It's a lot of fun here. I also just got a bunch of new clothes, because there was a rack with a bunch of clothes for 50 and 80 cents. I got some cool stuff.
I suppose I'm off again. I will try to keep you all entertained. Perhaps I will steal Daddy's nametag again and hide it in my secret hiding place. I'm quite sure Mommy and Daddy haven't found it yet. They looked for the nametag for hours last time. Perhaps I'll steal Daddy's wallet and keys next time. That way, he'll have to stay home and play with me.
im home!

Job...
June 23 2006
So I got a job working with special education kids in the laundry room of NHC as a "job coach". I have one girl on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the other one Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Just a little bit of advice....don't call me until like 12:30 or so on M, W, F....it is possible I'll yell at you or say something awful. To say the least the job is interesting...never boring! However, I'm beginning to wonder if it will be the death of me. It takes all the energy I have, which is sad considering it's only 4 hours. Yet despite all the stress I enjoy it. Some days more than others. Today was definetely not an enjoyable day, but that's part of the job. Besides, tonight made up for it. As I said a few days ago....life is amazing.
change of command
June 23 2006
so padre's change of command was today. pretty spiffy stuff really. i just think military ceremony is neat... even if my dad hates it. but i got to stand in line & shake hands with like 100 people i dont know & will probly never see again. pops, nana, aunt cindy & uncle jimmy came down from mississippi to surprise him at his ceremony, it was really nice.
but my grandparents have given upon me becoming a dentist & at least stopped harping on me about how i will never make a living teaching band... whatever. they arent the only people who dont support me in that, but i just dont care. for once im gonna do what i want to do.
Tomorrow...uhhh!!!!
June 23 2006
Well...tomorrow is gonna drag on FOREVER!!! I have softball practice from 8:30-12:30 then another practice from 1:00-6:00. Then, on top of that, Andy wants me to come over and ride go-carts. SSSSSOOOOOOOOOO LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGG!!!!!! I'm gonna be so tierd after softball, I'm not sure if I even will go to Andy's. He's like my big brother and I love him to death but, I'm gonna be extremely tierd. Austin...call me on my cell tomorrow sometime after 6:00. I LOVE YOU!!! (Be Good!!!)

also, i am currently very confused. if God were calling me to be single, why would he put such a love in my mind and heart for this one person? maybe i'm just exaggerating in my mind. who knows? i'm nuts. i think i should just go ahead and become a nun. ha. not that being Catholic is a prerequisite or anything...i'd make a great Baptist nun. ha. well, i'm obviously quite tired, so i should go hit ze sack. g'nite jiggaboos. much love ----Cari

They don't call it the Big Apple...it's "THE CITY"
June 23 2006
So several people have asked if I was planning on doing updates from
NYC like I did when I was in China...i really hadn't thought about it,
but figured it would be a good idea. if you don't want to read them,
let me know...but i can assure you they won't be sent too often, so ya
might as well, right? Right.
Anyway, this past week has been good. I need a job, for
survival reasons of course, but more so because I'm bored. I'm not
skilled at sitting around the house. Free time hasn't been this easy
to find in a long time. I think I've read 6 books...maybe 10...I've
lost count!
I'm living on the upper west side (sounds swanky, huh?!) with
my friends maria and ellie, but this is just a temporary situation. at
the end of july maria is moving out, ellie is moving to back to TN, and
i...don't know yet. i've heard that you shouldn't start looking for an
apartment until 2 weeks before you need it because they go so fast
here...so i'm trying not to jump the gun.
As far as a job...i had an interview this morning and i think
it went well, but you never know. it was for an administrative
position assisting the president and the general manager of a company
that makes documentary films on education issues...mostly k-12 schools.
sounds like a good job for me...but again, we'll see. i'll keep you
posted.
last weekend i got to play tourist (because i still feel like
one) and we went to the east village, soho, and noho. i really like
that area. last night a friend and i went to the upright citizen's
brigade theatre to see a show called "we used to go out" which was
hilarious. it was a fun night in the city, and i was (still am)
grateful to be here.
the next few weeks will consist of diligently searching for a job and learning my way around this giant place!
prayer is needed and much appreciated...here are some specifics:
- job and apartment (obviously)
- current living situation - 3 people in a 2 bedroom can be
difficult - it isn't yet, but there's always the possibility, so let's
pray that we will be wise with our words and actions.
- The Gallery
Church, the church where maria and ellie work and i am now attending -
it's a chuch plant. pray that people will get and stay involved, that
the staff/team there will be encourged, and for the 7 (SEVEN!) interns
from all over the country who are here until the end of July.
...and i think that's it. thanks for reading!
P.S. After i wrote and sent this, I got a job interview with HGTV and I'm REALLY excited! Keep me in your prayers on Tuesday!

That thunderstorm today... hella scary. Especially if the "rain" is actually in fact a single wall of water continuously falling on your car. And especially if your AC is non-functional so your windows fog, making it even harder to see. And especially if you try to remedy the above mentioned situation by opening your window an inch or two and the rain is falling so hard that it hurts when it hits your face.
I was skeert.
But I was only about 10 minutes late to my hair appointment. Woot! I likes my new do. It probably won't look this nice tomorrow, but then again, I don't have all the junk my hairdresser put in it to make it behave and look pretty.
So, not worried about my hair.
As for those dental strip thingies.... holy bajeezus.
Did anyone else know that the 7 day kit of crest dental whitening strips costs $40.00? Because I didn't.
My heart almost burst outta my ribcage at the pharmacy today. Don't get me wrong, I had the money. It's just that the money happened to belong to my Dad, and I had no idea it was going to cost that much.
Anyways. I gotta thing to get to. Ciao, homies.

June 23 2006
It's the way you feel when the phone is ringing in the dead of night and you suddenly realize that it's him... when your grouchy feelings melt away because you hear his voice.
It's the way you hold onto a bottle or a pressed flower just because it reminds you of all that is good.
It's the number of times you read a letter or a message or an email just to make sure it's all not just a dream.
It's that feeling of absolute electricity every time you kiss, hug, or even touch.
It's choosing a two hour wait to see him for five minutes because even the shortest moments together mean so much.
It's spinning around so fast you fall, just because you can smell the scent that belongs only to him.
It's scarey, but it's beautiful... and it's what makes you lie awake at three in the morning just thinking.
It's everything you can't explain... it never makes sense, and it leaves you confused and lost.
It's love.

Dancing
June 23 2006
Sometimes life gets crazy... but you can always dance when you know Jesus!
A huge storm... crazy lightning
Job 38:35 (if you can't see it there) Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, 'Here we are'?"
yeah... we goofed off, got wet and had a whole lot of fun... but there was more there... more than what just meets the eye of cool pictures... the stuff a camera could never capture
stuff inside a heart that scream "DANCE!", "you have something to celebrate", "that lightning bolt that almost killed you... You know the guy who designed and commands it and HE LOVES YOU and HE IS FOR YOU!"
"That desire to dance in the middle of a huge lightning storm... HE GAVE IT TO YOU!"
"RUN WITH IT... go LIVE!"
sometimes life can be no fun, sometimes life can be a lot of fun... but no matter where you are Jesus is holding and HE will NEVER let you go!
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
your perfect love is casting out fear
even when im caught in the middle
of the storms of this life
I won't turn back, I know you are near
and i will fear no evil
for my God is with me
and if my God is with me
whom then shall i fear
whom then shall i fear
OH NO YOU NEVER LET GO
THROUGH THE CALM AND THROUGH THE STORM
OH NO YOU LET GO
EVERY HIGH AND EVERY LOW
OH NO YOU NEVER LET GO
LORD, YOU NEVER LET GO OF ME
I can see the light, that is coming
for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
and there will bean end to these troubles
but until that day comes,
well live to know you here on this earth
You keep on loving and you never let go...
I'll keep on singing!" - Matt Redman
...
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither anfels nore demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither HEIGTH nor DEPTH, nor ANYTHING ELSE IN ALL CREATION, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8:37-39
Can you dance?
Honestly... ?

Yesterday was very eventful
June 23 2006
Had a lady faint when I was putting groceries in her car. Turns out she was pregnant and hadn't been eating and was dehydrating...
And so I go buy her a bottle of water, and then some other lady approaches me while I'm putting someone else's groceries away, and yells at me, saying how I always walk away when she needs package help and is sick of it and sick of me and blah blah blah.
She so she stands there yelling at me in front of Dylan who is trying not to laugh, and she calls me a "little black bitch" and walks off to her car. Why she included "black" in there, I don't know. She is black too.
Thanks be to God that I do not have a temper. First, it cannot be me that she's talking about for 2 reasons. (1) I've NEVER seen her before. I remember the faces of people that I've taken groceries out for. (2) I've NEVER walked away from somebody with groceries when they needed me to bag them except for once, and that was because I was trying to buy for THE PERSON THAT WAS DYING OUTSIDE THE STORE, so I told Dylan to buy them for me.
Gah-lee. I think that the Angry lady was talking about a guy named Patrick for two reasons. (1) We're both black, and he's almost my height and such. And (2) he is known to walk away from a package help.
So yeah she comes back inside, and talks to the manager (Tommy), who tells her to write down her complaint and he'll give it to the head manager (Eric). As she walks out she saying some other stuff, but I don't quite catch it. Of course Tommy and the rest of the workers in the store take my side, because, well, It's ME. I'm not known to cause any trouble whatsoever, especially with customers, who I treat with all the respect I can.
So yeah, Eric's gonna have some words to say to me when I get there Saturday, I suppose. But he's not gonna believe it either.
It's summer fever.

I enjoy variation but I like knowing about things in advance and having a chance to process and plan. I know, you're thinking it's just because I'm old. NOT! I was the same when I was a teenager. Even with my love for the predictable I don't think I've ever been called boring...
Have a peaceful, enjoyable day everyone. I'm off to my usual job at my usual place at my usual time...
See ya when I usually see ya!

I miss the moutains..and living in the valley
June 23 2006
I miss Montana and every person I grew up with there. I miss the things I once use to do with them like steal construction cones at 3 in the morning or tell stories of days old because we were romantics. Sadly I know that even if I went back it wouldn't be as I had left it. Those who were left in Great Falls continued their life as much as I did. They aren't where we use to be together...so much has changed.
Herschel and I want to go up there together...I think we will once we're engaged so that Uncle Lee can meet him...

tralalalala summer is boring but it
June 22 2006
I had an interview at the Cookie Store earlier this week. If I get the job I might get to work with my buddies Maja and Amanda, so that'll be neat.
Urgh. My senior pictures are next friday. I'm nervous. Know why?
Because I'm doing all this stuff to prepare and I'm afraid that I'll just make it worse. For instance, I'm going to use those whitening strips on my teeth. They seem pretty easy not to mess up, but I am the girl who almost gave herself chemical burns with Veet.
I'm getting new clothes in the few days before, because that's the only time my grandmother can take me shopping. Shopping isn't exactly my dad's deal, and my mom doesn't exactly have a healthy bank account. So there you have it. I'm afraid that we won't be able to find anything in the right size or that looks like decent human being might wear it. Because you know, that's the sort of thing that tends to happen to me when I go shopping.
I need to get a tan because I'm still pasty white. Knowing me, I'll lay out too long or not use strong enough SPF and I'll turn myself into a human lobster.
My biggest worry is that I'm getting a haircut tomorrow afternoon. Now, only once in my life have I gotten a seriously traumatizing haircut - I was nine years old, and the dumb girl cutting my hair thought "shoulder length" and "ear length" were the same thing.
Anyways.
I'm afraid of mutilating my hair and not being able to do anything about it before my pictures.
Also, I can't go get my hair done up all perdy the day of the picture because my session is at 8 A-friggin-M. I can't think of any salons that are open at 8 AM, let alone before 8 AM. I'm not very hair savvy myself, and I'm only remotely reasonable at putting on my own makeup (I wear it maybe thrice a year).
Bottom line, I'm nervous. I'm not exactly the world's most photogenic person and I'm afraid of making myself even less photogenic.
AGH.
No fun.

Last School Day in Luanda Int'l School
June 22 2006
No doubt, Chely & Thasya will be flipping out happy and flipping out sad. So many kids are leaving this year and never returning. Of course, C&T are not returning either ... regardless, saying goodbye is difficult.
As for me, my butt is dragging. I am so tired, especially after working until 1215am the other day. Can't get my groove back ... so I will just drag myself through Friday .... have dinner at Bahia (means bay in Portuguese) tonight with my lovely wife and then come home.
Ciao ciao

but on a more spiritual matter i have just started the barbarian way by erwin mcmanus (compliments of my big bro) and it is awesome. it really calls out the type of life and faith that i have been living lately one that is civilized and churched. it says that we should revert to our primal uncivilized pure raw faith. we have to overcome our proper churching and live by the faith that we had right when we started to believe one that is all for losing everything and not caring about onything but serving the heart of our king!!!
barbarian is to be a member of a people considered by those of another nation or group to have a primitive civilization (or faith)
live for the heart of our king!!!

Musings of Lucky's Craziness
June 22 2006
Current mood: stupid, annoyed, excited, a little sad
Countdown to Florida has now reached: three days!!!
Personal problem of the day: I can be so stupid.
Current wish: All I want is to be able to sit down with him and talk for a change. I want to be able to see his face and actually tell him that I love him face to face.
Current read: Memoirs of a Geisha
Quote to describe how I feel: "Self realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said 'I drank what?'" Chris Knight, Real Genius
Current thought: I do really stupid stuff sometimes and if you want proof ask the other half of my brain. For the most part I think it is because I miss him so much and occassionally I lose my mind. It's just that sometimes things feels wierd, like out of place.
Current rant: It's unfair that life has taken us so far apart and that I don't get to talk to him often or see him, and I don't know when we'll get to be together.
Well the last two days....
June 22 2006
Have been "HE" double hockey sticks. Like wow I couldnt imagine anything to get worse, this has never happened to me in my life, not to my mom or dad. And they are so mad, my dad was like I want to give that person a piece of my mind. My dad was like he should be happy I dont live in the same town as yall ( my dad lives in VA).... all I have to say is pray for an anynomous(sp?) person, and pray for me. Because everything just piled down on me. And it was so scary. Lets just say dont tell someone that someone is dead, its not a joke. Especially when u were there crying for 3 hours, your sick and I dislike you with a strong passion. And for the other person I will miss you , and I dont know why because your true colors show. Your a SLIMBAG, and I guess it is goodbye, ha good thing this person doesnt have pb. But anyway I am more sad , than angry ... and I have cried to much , and I dont want to anymore. I want to come see my beautiful friends in TN, bc yall are so sweet, and Lizzy and I cant wait !!!! But yeh , if ur my friend , then I will eventually tell u what happened...

I decided that I hate my life from after kindergarden until the second semester of sophomore year. Before that I wasn't really alive. wee!
I now have the best boyfriend anyone could ever want. He's awesome, he's sexy, he's perfect. I love him more than anything, /ever/.
I could go on and on, but I'm going to spare the 4 and a half people that are going to read this. :]
I'm so happy.
and kinda delirious, I didn't sleep any last night.
I didn't feel like it.
and I got to see my boyfriend one last time before I leave for camp for five weeks.
I DON'T WANT TO GO

June 22 2006
So I'm in Memphis this weekend, for a marching band meeting and then orientation on Monday and Tuesday. I'm staying at Abby's house and we're being nerds till Saturday.
Today, we played duets from some kids at a camp, I think they liked it. We used the stanard duet book that all of the high school players have. They liked the little duet that sounded like pirate music. We also let them try out our horns, it was great. I'm told that the camp is Christian based for kids that live in not so great family situations, it made me feel good that I gave them something to he happy about.
But yeah, I deleted my profile on myspace because it was causing me problems, so if any of you are on there...that's why I'm no longer on your friends list.

You reflect the journey of the spirit. The journy of life as we
grow, learn, face our everyday trials. You strive to accomplish tasks
and rise above. This is where your spirit finds its strengths. Your
journy is sure to have a happy ending, in whatever small form it my
come.
Perfection will bring you the happiness you long for.
Well,well...you sure are a dreamer. Whatever you do...you want it to be
flawless and brilliant, you just refuse to settle for less. Falliure
isn't an option,it can only make you more ambitious, strong and capable
to overcome any kind of difficultty for the sake of your dream.However,
your dreams are a bit utopic, you should really cool down your
fantasies and limit them with reality, after that (the hard worker that
you are..)it'll be just a matter of time until you reach your goal.
Your gretest gift is your imagination. You're artistic, probably like
to draw/write/sing/dance.
You notice details that usualy don't catch the eye much.
In love - happeness can be brought to you only by that ONE special
person you'll be looking for all your life. He/she'll be romantic,
mysterious and fun to be with.( yeah i know it'll be hard to find
him/her, but if you would only widen the range of your search, you'll
be quite surprised with what you'll find )
