Other people don't MAKE you feel anything.
YOU make CHOICES about how you will feel and react.

and yes austin since i know you will ask... that is monner

HAPPINESS is a CHOICE

bling bling
 so with seemingly everyone around me getting engaged
and my already present facination with things that
sparkle
i've been thinking more so about these wonderful sparkly things

and why exactly they do attract my attention
 and i've come to the conclusion
that it all goes to wanting to feel
special
important
royal

i want to be a princess
and have each and every priviledge that comes with that
i mena i like the sparkle all by itself

but i think that what i really like is what it represents
and it is then that once again i am reminded
that i am a princess

a daughter of the King of Kings
He truely hung the moon and the stars just for me
He loves me above all else
I AM
special
important
royal

and He wore a crown for me
so that i
could wear a tiara

After varying degrees of thought i have compiled the following:

• My dorm room is also inhabited by grimlins who move my things and make noises when i am here alone.
  


• Certain people anger me by nature:
     - those who change themselves to make others happy
     - those who complain about things that they are unwilling to  even attempt to change
     - those who think they know more than everyone else about everything and believe it to the their sacred duty to share this knowledge
     - those who take great intrest in their own emotional fits and ignore the emotional needs of others
  


• I am way too mischevious for my own good and the good of those around me
  


• The only good shower on my dorm floor is the 5th stall and is best when used at approx. 2 am to maximize on water pressure and heat.
  


• The average human being does not get enought hugs everyday.
  


• I need more hugs than the average human being.
  


• Sleep is actually necessary to live and live well.
  


• I actually need to vent occasionally but don't like ventiong to other people because i feel like i'm "gossiping."
  


• Life is amazing....

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems,
but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end.
It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing.
It's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it.
- Margaret Thatcher -

Power comes from personality, not leadership ability.

Have you forgotten how it felt five years ago today?

Where were you when you found out?

I was in World History class.
A little too Ironic for me.

Have you forgotten how long the "clean-up" took?

In my opinion there are somethings you can't clean up, or repair, or fix.
You can't really set them right either.
Only One i know can do that...

He cradled us in His arms that day...

and He continues to do so today.

My parentals, grandparentals, bo,amber and the austin came to eat an early Birthday lunch with me! Brently came too!

well... i rear ended a pretty little red sportscar yesterday squishing his trunk up to his back windshield and shoving him into the pathfinder infront of him....needless to say...his car is going bye bye... crushed betwwen two tanks... my jeep didn't look too bad....except the fact it was leaking anti-freeze...so my radiator is busted... it got towed to dickson....it took AAA over 2 1/2 hours to get there. my ankle is a bit screwy since my right foot took the impact of the crash cause i was hitting the breaks so hard...and i was wearing 3 inch heels puting my foot in a bad angle for any amount of pressure.... i find out about my poor jeep sometime today hopefully....
