Exciting News For Tonight - Plus, There's Gonna Be A Party Up In Here!

I am so pumped! Lara's coming over and spending the night tonight, and tomorrow at 11, I'm having a party! Wanna know why? JUST BECAUSE, THAT'S WHY! *squeals with delight* I'm so excited!

I've been having to clean the house, because, as usual, my house resembles a pig-stye in more ways than one. My house may be small, but at least it's fit for company now! Ha Ha! I have been trying all morning to get William to clean up the hallway, and he hasn't done it. I know, gasp. Finally the parents got home so now he's actually doing something.

John got a new bass today! It's awesome! George had some problems with the wiring and was acting flaky, so we took him in to get repaired. Well, they ended up sending for a new one, only it turns out that George is a discontinued item. So John has been playing with this rent-a-bass for a few months now. My parents took him today to go and see if he could get George back, and if not, to get him a new bass. I like the one he has now. George had a place in my heart, but this one (I don't know the name of it yet) is likely to have a place of it's own.

Random thought...is a girl pyro a pyra? He he he. I'm a dork. And I love it. So it's all good.

Well, I still have people to invite. Until next time!

Recovering From Prom Still - Plus, the Pictures Have Been Delivered

Yes, as my newsheader said, I am still recovering. It's tough, but I'd do the whole thing over again given the chance. I had a blast at prom and at Ali's and I'd do it over again...several times even. I still haven't developed my prom pictures...I can't wait to see them.

Speaking of pictures, I dropped of the pics of T.J. at his house tonight. I did just as I said I would...I put the pictures in an envelope, enclosed a note, and took it to his house and delivered it. The enclosed note read: "Here. I thought you could use something to rip up. Just, before you do, show your mom so that she can be reminded of how handsome you were that night. Actually, just rip off my half and give her your half. Then you can rip my side into as many pieces as you like." Then I signed it.

When I got to his house around 10, I checked his bedroom window to see if he had gone to bed yet. His light was on. I give the envelope to his mom, then I went back to the Beast. I looked at his window, the light was off. I look back at his window a split second later and his light was on again. I don't know if his mom took it straight to him or if he was just going in and out of his room. Anyhoo, I don't expect a response back, even though it would be wonderful to hear from him. Ah well. Don't look at me like that! I can dream can't I?

Well, nothing exciting has happened recently...other than dropping off T.J.'s envelope today. I'm going to Josh G's paintball birthday party on May 1st. It'll be great. I've never been paintballing before. I'm so excited!

Oh, I put comments on Lara's blog. I'm pretty pumped about that.

I guess I'll end it here. Until we meet again, goodbye and God bless.

Prom Was Incredible - Plus, Recovering From Prom Isn't As Incredible

Oh my gosh. Prom was SO worth the $79 I paid for it. I had a BLAST! Throughout Saturday and Sunday, I only got 2 1/2 hours of sleep, but I don't care. It was so much fun and way worth it. I only got asked to dance by two people, one of whom is my best friend/date. The other was Chad. He had to do a fair amount of convincing to get me to dance, but he finally got me out there. Lara would ask me, I'd turn her down and she'd walk off. It was funny actually. Chad's date abandoned him, and my date abandoned me, so we hung out together. Chad actually knew some people though and talked to them. It's all good. I had a blast and I'm sure I've got lots of great pictures from it. ^_^

Mom woke me up Monday morning at 9 so that I could take a shower, since our water would be turned off all day, starting at 10. After my shower, I ate breakfast and then napped for 3-4 hours. I woke up about 2, ate lunch, then wanted to nap some more, but made myself stay up since I was babysitting that night and I didn't want to be all hyper that night when I was to go to bed. I'm still recovering, but I'm sure I'll be back on a normal sleep cycle by next week.

Shaye and Chad both got baptized on Sunday!!! I'm so excited!!! YAY!!!

I don't really have anything else to say. I'm tired. I hope Lara's there when I pick her up later today. She wasn't there last week, but all has been forgiven. Until we meet again.

Just About The Only Thing On My Mind - Plus, Good Talk With A Good Friend

I'm pretty positive about sending T.J. his pictures. Not so much for his satisfaction alone, but for his parent's as well. You never know, maybe he'll see me and 1) miss me, or 2) his bitterness will rush over him and he'll be twice as mad at me as he is now. Either way, it doesn't really affect me. If you have any opinions on this matter, just comment.

I ended up talking with Chad on the phone until 12:30 last night. He's a good friend. I found out last night that he's going to prom. It'll be interesting to see him all gussied up. Yes, I just used gussied in a sentance. Gotta problem with it?

Well, I'm going to bid you all adieu...after I tell you that prom is in 2 days!!! I'm so pumped! Plus, I get to go watch Kyle play soccer before I get all dressed up and girlish and stuff! WOOT! Ok, I'm done.

Here I Go Again - Plus, New Friends On The Blog Channel

I think I'm going to try and write a happy journal entry for a change. I had an awesome time at TND last night. Chad and Shaye were there! Yay! I talked to Kaylah a lot, I had an awesome time in my small group. I talked to, played and laughed with Nancy and Michelle all night. It was great! I can't wait until next year when they're in highschool! I hope Nancy keeps coming. I connect with her on a level that I don't really connect with anyone else. She's my opposite, yet she's not. I don't really know how to describe it. All I know is it's cool, and it works. I'm so HAPPY!

If you look to the right, you'll see I have added Lisa/Leza and Kaylah to my other blogs list. Check 'em out! They're awesome!

I have a Starbucks date with Aundra today. We're going to talk about my little problems. Hope all goes well. I am guessing that Aundra is a fountain of information...you just have to tap into it. We'll see how it goes today. You'll most likely hear about it in the next couple of days, depending on when I get on next.

I haven't talked to Crowder in forever. He seems so distant lately. Do any of you feel that too? I don't know what he's been up to, he's not around much. I miss him.

I haven't talked to Gunter either. I wonder how he's doing...

I haven't talked to Chris lately. She hasn't told me about the break up yet...I'm wondering if she ever will. Come Sunday I'll find out. She doesn't call me and she doesn't come to Bible study all that often. It feels like she's never around and then she wonders why she doesn't have any friends. Go figure. "Girls. Can't live without them, pass the beer nuts." - Norm Peterson, Cheers I miss Chris.

Hmm...I got my progressive dinner pictures developed finally. There are some great pics of T.J. and I, and also of Lara and I. There's a good one of Everett and Shaye as well. I think I'm going to take all the pictures with T.J. in them and put them in an envelope, enclose a note, and either mail it to him, or put it on his window. On the note I'm going to put something along the lines of, "I thought you could use something to tear up. Make sure you show it to your Mom first so she remember how handsome you were." Something like that. I'll sign it this time, to prevent more pain infliction. I made that mistake once, there ain't no way I'm doing it again. Can ya blame me?

Oh! This weekend is going to rock! Prom is Saturday, and Shaye and Chad are getting baptized on Sunday! I'm so excited!

Well, I think that's all for now. Bible study is tonight. All of us are bringing our prom dresses, putting them on, and taking pictures at Mrs. G.'s. It'll be fun. Until we meet again.

Unexpected Travel - Plus, Maybe There's An Answer To My Problems

Good morning all. I realize that it has been a lengthy amount of time since I last blogged. I trust you all survived? *howling laughter spouts from the author's mouth* YEAH RIGHT!

I went to Grandma's house. We really did go over a river (the Red River), but we didn't go through any woods to get there. I had a surprisingly good time! Church was different. Normally John and I just sit there in the C.I.A. building (the youth builiding across the way, stands for Christians In Action) and get spoken to by the adults and recieve ignorance and glares from the youth, thus sitting there in silence. This time, we sat there recieving handshakes from the adults and glares from the youth, but a guy said hi to me, and John and I sat on the couch in animated conversation. Then everyone splits into groups and goes into a different room of the used-to-be-house and has a lesson. Previously, said lesson was taught from a quarterly, or a curriculum book. This time, she didn't use the "curriculum." She acutally taught from the living Word of God! *gasps from the surrounding invisible audience now audible* I was proud of her. She even gave me a bit of information that I had never thought of before. It escapes my memory as of late, and I'm to lazy to go into the other room and refresh my failing memory. Big church was ok. The preacher, as usual, had his best sained-glass voice, and told us everything about Easter that we knew already. Overall, I had a good time visiting my Grandma. She's the awesomest Grandma EVER! She made the best roast I have ever tasted...now I know where my Dad gets it from! Lol. I only hope I can inherit the cooking gene from my Dad's side of the family.

I drove on the way home from Grandma's, and I ended up talking with Josh G. on my cell for the last 30 mins. of the drive. He's an awesome friend. Easy to talk to, fun to be around. Anyhoo, enough.

I sent an e-mail to Aundra speaking of my problems this morning. I really hope she can help me.

Well, I'd best be off. Talk to you all some time or another! Until.

I Don't Care About Headlines Tonight - Plus, What I Just Said

i am so overwhelmed. i feel like everything's crushing down on me. i feel like i can't breathe...

i am so worried about school. i can't stop thinking about t.j. i don't know how to study the Bible the way i want to. i feel like i'm going to cry again. i need a hug.

i'm talking to josh g. about this. he's a real friend. he's trying to help me when i need a friend the most. it's not that he knows what to say, it's that he tries his hardest, and you know he really cares. i know you don't read this josh, but i thank God for you. thank you!

for now, i'll just keep praying and hope that my time lines up with God's. good night all.

Getting Better Maybe - Plus, God Never Said It Would Be Easy, He Only Said I'll Never Go Alone

I didn't want to go to Tuesday nights again, but this time when I forced myself to go, I had a good time! It was amazing! Maybe there's hope for me yet!

I'm still trying to find a good day to go applying to jobs...I have 7 veterinary offices/hospitals that I want to apply at, and I've been trying all week to get my Mom to go with me...We haven't found a good day. I want my Mom to go with me for moral support, and to help me make smart decisions...to know what things are good and so-on. If she can't go on Friday (Thursday she's having a Hide-A-Scan done), then I think I'll go by myself on Monday. I could go Saturday, but they close early and I have 7 different places to go...one of which is in Justin, a 30-minute drive. The rest are within 15 mins. of my house, so that's good.

Lara got a job at the Bridlewood Stables. Yay! Maybe she'll get enough to buy herself that car she and her dad want! Lol.

I'm worried about school. I'm afraid that I won't be academically adequate enough for vet school. My plan (which is most likely to take effect) is to go to NCTC, take all my basics, then once my GPA is high enough, transfer to the vet school at A&M. I really, really, really want to go there, and it's hard to get into. They forget about your SAT's and worry about your GPA when you transfer, and I figure if I work my butt off, I can get my GPA high enough.

I'm still worried that I'll bomb my SAT's and not be able to get into NCTC. You should see my PSAT scores. They suck! Wait, I'll retrieve them for you. Here they are:

Verbal
I answered 31 out of 52 questions, 21 of which were correct.
Overall score: 45
I scored higher than 39% of juniors in this section.

Math
I answered 19 out of 40 questions, 11 of which were correct.
Overall score: 38
I scored higher than 17% of juniors in this section.

Writing Skills
I answered 33 out of 39 questions, 16 of which were correct.
Overall score: 47
I scored higher than 39% of juniors in this section.

My overall score is 130. My Percentile is 29. I AM GOING TO FAIL AN IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL TEST!

I am having frustrations with TND worship - I'm flirting with the idea of quitting...AGAIN. There are so many problems...the female adult "leader" is NEVER on time; she's more concentrated on making it a performance, making it sound good instead of making it simple sounding yet worshipful; there are more, but you don't want to get me started.

My family can't figure out what to do for Easter. We don't really want to stay, but we don't know where to go. Dad voted for his Mom's house (in Oklahoma), and I have nothing against that, it's just that there's nothing to do there aside from watching football on tv (around the house), and it's not football season! But, my Grandma's days are numbered, she's 85 - soon to be 86. There are things to do outside of the house - she lives right next to Fort Sill, there's a Wildlife Refuge in the Wichita Mountain Range not far from her house. But, she's old and she doesn't get around like she used to. She wouldn't be able to tromp around on mountains with us, and we can't just leave her at home alone! Don't get me wrong, I love my Grandma, she's the only one I have left! She's a great cook - that's where I get my pancake recipe from - she has a cool history, she's gone to Japan a few times...she's just down-right awesome!

Well, it's time for me to go now. Mom has to start work, and I have to get off so she can do it. Oh, I wish the computer in my room had internet access available! Oh well. Until next time!

A Small Mishap - Plus, the Sunday Events

It turns out that Josh G. forgot that Saturday was his Grandpa's birthday, so his family went to visit them. Josh called me at 5:30 (we were meeting at 7) informing me of this. We simply rescheduled. So I'm going to meet him at 12:30. We're going to see Hidalgo. He said it was a good movie, and he didn't mind seeing it again, so we're seeing that one. I think it looks good. It has potential.

I hope Mom lets me go with the group tonight. I really want to go. She's still on her "There's-Nothing-Wrong-With-The-Friends-You-Have-Just-Expand-Your-Circle" kick. I can try again, but I've tried before and no-one would accept me...at least these people tolerate me, I mean, come on! He he he.

I'm feeling better...not so depressed anymore. It has the possibility of swooping down again come Tuesday, but I'm going to do my best to counteract that. I still don't know who to talk to to fix this. Maybe I can just ride it out and see what comes of it. God works in ways we can't imagine, after all.

Well, I think I'm done with this post. Until we meet again!
