Growing Up Is What Hurts The Most

Sorry to contradict Rascall Flatts and his awesome song, (one of many. Rascall Flatts is the only country singer I can half-way stand) "What Hurts The Most," but growing up is way worse. If you never grow up and have to leave that perfect realm of childhood bliss, then you never have to deal with losing someone.

I house sat for Mom's friend over the weekend, and I got to do a lot of thinking. Being in an empty house does something to jumpstart your brains and your emotions all at once...

So here's what I wrote:

The only time i can really think is when I'm completely alone and it's absolutely quiet. Well, sounds of life: a door creaking once or twice, electronics humming, the occasional bird chirping, other house noises. Plus, that atmosphere is like pounding adrenaline into my writing brain. It's a rush and I can't stop writing!

Weekend: Homework-free and BLISS

No homework this weekend! It's absolutely wonderful! I feel guilty though because all my friends have way more homework than me, and I feel like I'm always the one complaining like a baby--and THEN I get spoiled by having no homework this weekend... :(

So anyway, the result of my current free-time phase (even when i should be working on converting the story into first person.. :/ heh....)???

INTERNET PICTURE SEARCH!!!!!

why not add a little multi-media to satisfy those visual readers?! haha.

The following comics may cause laughter and in some cases, loss of bladder control.

AAAAAND TAAA-DAA!!!! pictures galore! comments please!

P.S. still waiting on ideas for an alias, so post comments with those too!

APOLOGYYYY!!!!!

Dearest most-likely-dead blog readers,
(watch me have spelled that wrong...)

Anyway, I have luckily been informed that my blog sucks.... Sorry guys!!!

I'm not sure the exact basis of the suckiness, so I intend to improve on all parts of this blog!

Sincerely and apoplexically (that's probably not right....) yours,
Meee!

P.S. I'm trying to come up with an online alias to use for signing my blogs and making accounts online just so no one can steal my info as easily as if I had used my own name. So if you have any good ones that sound like me and aren't comPLETELY idiotic (a difficult feat if it is to capture my personality) send them along!

AGH!

i forgot to post for so long!!!!!!!!
sorry sorry sorry my faithful readers! though i imagine you're all dead by now anyway (if faithful readers of this blog actually exist...)

Hello, and welcome to the perpetual pit of boredom...

Super Summer: Team One

My church does this summer camp, four weeks of Bible camp through the month of July. My mom's the coordinator, so I have a pretty good idea of how the camp works. They invite four mission teams up. One for each week. They help run the camp and make sure there are enough people and that everything goes smoothly.



So after an intense month of pre-planning (aka. June) we have now reached crunch-time...

Week One
First Baptist Church, Morehead, SC

Sports week. FUNNNNNNNN

Birthday Wishlist (I DON'T WANT TO BE A SNOB!!!)

My birthday's coming up..... In August....

Well, anyway. I hate asking directly for presents. It feels so snobby and I really hate being snobby. So I decided topost it online instead of being an insensitive jerk and demanding gifts over email (not literally demanding, but that's what it feels like...)

Here goes:

• Ruth CDs (i.e. Ruth, Secondhand Dreaming)
• Barnes and Noble gift card
• Sign up for iTunes (mostly for my family since they're the ones with the same internet connection)
• Medieval dagger (and No. I'm not deranged, I just like pointy old things, preferrably if they're metal.)
• Newbury Comics gift certificate (a music store for those of you who are so unfortunate that you've never been there.)
• CONTACT LENSES!!!!!!!!!! (another one for my parents. i'm not even sure if they read this blog.)
• Anberlin's new "Cities" CD
• Newest Underoath CD
• Rise Against CDs (i.e. Generation Lost, The Sufferer & The Witness, Siren Songs of the Counter-Culture, Revolutions Per Minute, The Unraveling)
• Blood & Chocolate DVD

Okay, I'm done. There's the list so far....

P.S. Whoever's planning on getting me a gift (*cough cough* you know who you are, brain buddy) YOU DON'T HAVE TO!!!!! I'LL THROTTLE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding just kidding just kidding........
