Amazing Posts!

1. Never be awful to anyone, that person you were awful to may teach you the most.
2. Always remember...you are a somebody, God didn't take the time to create a nobody.
3. Always smile, you never know whose day you might be making.
4. Never 'forget' to say hi to anyone, never miss the chance to laugh or smile, never get too caught up in yourself that you forget to help others.
5. Never forget that you aren't the only one with problems, and most of all...never forget that when you feel like you only have one friend, that friend will remind you of all the others.
6. If you forget about all the bad things in life, the good will take over.
7. If fear is staring you in the face, close your eyes so you don't have to look at it.
8. Be yourself, you can't be anyone else...The best you can be is you!

“ …it’s okay to not be the girl who parties too much and sleeps around; it’s okay to be the girl who wants something solid. I believe in that. ” - Kelly Clarkson (via tellmetonight) (via delicious-ambiguity)

“ Sometimes when our friends ask us if we’re okay, we tend to lie, because we know that telling them the whole story is just going to break our heart once more. So we might as well just lie and say we’re fine. ” - (via runawaytrain)

“ I’m sick of meeting all the wrong people. I’m sick of being lead on to believe it could be right. I’m sick of being told “lets just be friends.” I’m sick of people saying “it’s going to happen” when nothing happens in the end. Its not that I’m impatient, but really, just when will I meet the one who’s truly meant for me, and who wants to be with me as much as i want to be with him? ” - (via runawaytrain)

“ Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other? ” - Morgan Freeman, Evan Almighty (via anniesheart)

Coffee Grinds

It's raining again. Ah how calming.
Yet The Fly From Hell (numero cuatro) is flying around my head dive bombing me every chance it gets when it decides it would rather not go to the light.

Anyways... school. Ah yes school. Back into the daily grind (I always think of coffee whenever I hear that). I already have way more classes then I had last year. Okay fine, another class plus a private music lesson. Woah.

I think I should be freaking out waaaaaay more then I should be with all these classes, new faces (well a good freaking lot of new ones), more work, higher expectations, and profs hoping for people to share their ideas every single moment of the class' proximity.

Yet I'm not. I actually feel quite at ease with the number of classes (it just feels weird being at school for so long), I feel like I should make some new friends (or connections ;D but really I just don't want to be lonely and if they're in the same program and for the same length I'm going to see them for another two years), I feel like the work won't be a problem (if I finally stop procrastinating since I know the due date from the beginning of the term), and I feel like I can finally just voice my thoughts whether right or wrong (well, hopefully my spoken thoughts will be the right ones...). The only thing I feel like I am freaking out at is the higher expectations. Yeah maybe I am a _____ major. But that doesn't mean I freaking care about it to the point of dying (well maybe that's just me and yo would die for it)

I don't know. I think I'm a little stressed from work too though. I don't want to work there any longer. But with the economy in the shape it is now I'm lucky to have this job giving me any money (got my paycheck tonight ;D). But does anyone know of any place that is hiring and may be desperate enough to hire someone (aka: me)?

I'm looking forward to youth group/ college and careers. It's a combination of the two now... so is it maybe called young adults group???? I'm getting ready to pick some songs for the first worship night. PETER: you should come to (whatever we're deciding to call it) and help lead singing! The few guys we have would be way more likely to sing (I'm thinking) if there's another guy who's actually leading singing.....


Right-o. Beam me up Scotty. There ain't no intelligent life down here.

Things, Oh Marvelous Things!

I'm house sitting in two weeks starting Saturday.

The dog that's there (that I can say I am dog sitting, haha) only understands Spanish. Excellent chance to practice and not get lip back. Bwa hahaha!

School starts in T-minus 3 weeks (from tomorrow). Semester ends in T-minus 3 months and 3 weeks.


First it was all babies popping up in our church, now it's weddings! Craziness!

Tasha's wedding is in a month's (give a few days) time!!!! And then Jessica from church is engaged! And it will be no time before Anna's engaged, I'm sure. And what about Mark and his girlfriend? Yeah, soon enough, soon enough. There's going to be no singles left to talk to soon *insert scream face* Horror of horrors!!!!

This Life Here

So maybe, just maybe I should actually update anyone who actually does read this blog about my life, huh? Wait two minutes as I actually go back in time and try to find my last blog update about my life and update from there.

Okay. Two similar updates. One after each other. March 16th and April 6th. Check 'em out if you need a quick refresher.

~~~~~

Short things: hair cut = love. reading more books = forgot how much I love to read. slowly writing more songs = wish I had more inspiration lately. sarah coming back = amazing. no joke. i've missed her so much and haven't seen her in a year and a half. is it a wonder i've missed her?

Okay, longer things: school has been done since mid-April. LOVE IT. High school is a complete joke and waste of time compared to University. You avoid the drama, live your live, schedule your schedule how you want (for the most part depending on classes) and so on. 2nd year? No more Sociology EVER. No more night classes. More freedom. Love, love, love. I have a bit of a problem with one of my music classes so I have to figure out how to rearrange my schedule without changing my minor. Pain in the butt because I think I figured out what to do but I have to pay a nice large sum of money for that. Ugh. Per Semester = double ugh. Worth it? I'll find out after this year.

So, next thing. Life seems like I'll have more freedom. More time for friends. I expect only to work what I worked last year which was 3 times/ 4 times a week absolute max. With every evening free this year (minus Friday's) it is a super bonus for me!
Work is dragging on and on. I am in the process of looking for a new job but in the recession my hopes aren't that high and I'll continue to hold the job I have right now.
My summer vacation is pretty much over though, in terms of good times and not work. Worked a week out at camp that was rewarding and then went to BC the next week. Good times.

Love life? Bah whatever. Nothing's happening there right now and it's not progressing at any speed. Which may just be a good thing. We'll see what happens this coming year.

Surprises are in store, that's for sure. Good and Bad. For Better, For Worse.

Youth Group seems like it's shaping up to be a good year. I am so stoked for it already. I talked to Mr.T (the head youth leader, duh) with an idea I had for the first YG kickoff. Stoked about that if it happened. I totally wish! But I should put it past Brandi too and see what she thinks since she's doing the planning. Speaking of the planning, she has asked Mel, Steph, and me to do music for the worship aspect. STOKED GUYS. I have like a billion charts floating around so even if it was just an acoustic set sometimes. I really like it because this way I can improve my playing and if we have just a piano some nights, I would still be singing so an excellent way to improve that and get more comfortable singing in front of people!!!
I have an exciting idea in regards to YG but I have yet to ask the person yet about some circumstances. We'll see...?

Tasha's home for the year and Matt is coming on September 1st! So I get to meet him at church on the 6th and then their wedding on the following Sunday!!!! Ah! Matt's going to Carmel for the year. So I guess we get to get use to him for a year. I wonder if Tasha and Matt will come to some YG events???

Anyways it's almost 1 o'clock in the morning. Guess I shouldn't have had that 2 hour nap this afternoon. Haha oops.


Ephesians 3:12
1 John 5:4

3 x 3 x 3

Woah, woah, woah
Hang on baby.
Did you just say you love me?

~~~~

Pop, pop, pop
Goes my head
It is like popcorn in the microwave

~~~~

Bang, bang, bang
Your finger, the trigger
Wave bye-bye to the world

~~~~

Higher, higher, higher
I seem to be gone
Floating somewhere on cloud 9 mayhaps?

~~~~

Sigh, sigh, sigh
This isn't anytime soon
What a boring life I lead.
