Peanut butter

hello people.

This weekend I went shopping and then saw The Princess and the Frog with a couple of friends. it was pretty fun and the movie was good =]

Lots of my friends have decided to change their profile pictures on facebook to Pokemon. This was the last straw; i just started watching the pokemon series. yeah that's right. I didn't watch it as a kid. I have no childhood.. ha. So i'm 7 episodes in when Mom decides to let me know that she didn't let my older brother watch it. I guess that's a hint I have to stop too. NO clue why, but this is so lame. =[ (By the way, should you want to watch Pokemon, use Myspace videos, not youtube. the quality is much better and they don't have any streaming trouble)


White elephant gift exchanges. I've done one already and have two more to go. phew...
for one I threw together two old CD's (one Kutless, one Shaniah Twain.), a coloring book, and a stuffed animal.
for the one with my family, i got an action figure of the Dread Pirate Roberts. If you don't know who that is, you're a loser. (It is available at thinkgeek.com, which, by the way, is a highly amusing site with amazing merchandise.)
And I have one on Wednesday, and i do not know what i am going to do about it. i'm thinking maybe the one issue I have of Shonen Jump. or another stuffed animal. the stuffed animal would probably be better...

One more thing. Do you remember the days where you would jump up and down and gaze into the sky everytime an airplane purred into view, and keep watching until it was out of sight? And wonder how it stayed up there? Wished you could fly?
Remember the days where you could look at the sky and marvel at its blueness?
Where pill bugs and lady bugs and snails could mesmerise you for hours?

Go back to that attitude in life once in a while. It'll make it so much more worth living

With that, I shall conclude with Lyrics of the Dayyyyy:

as I went down in the river to pray
studying about that good old way
and who shall wear the robe and crown
good Lord, show me the way.
o, brothers let's go down,
let's go down, come on down,
come on brothers let's go down,
down in the river to pray.

-Down to the River to Pray, Allison Kraus. (from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou.) OLD hymn.

cookies, sailor moon, and everyday life

The above image is of some cheap copy of oreo's. I decided they are my favorite cookie. Why? Read the label. "Twist and Shout." OH YEAH. Beatles reference, for the win. Whoever designed this package is my hero.

hello, nonexistant readers. how was your day?

today i'd like to talk about certain awesome things in my life. A bit of a testimonial. But I just typed out three enormous paragraphs about it, and then I decided, nobody's gonna read all that. so. here's a few concluding thoughts that i have learned from my experiences;

1. God tested Job immensely, and then paid back double. I got the same thing; intense testing, double rewards. God loves.
2. everything the Bible has to say about fools, mockers, hot-tempered people, etc, is TRUE. Believe it.
3. Listen to the friends whom you know have purely good intentions.
4. be careful on who you rely on
5. pick your friends wisely. Only let super close the ones who you KNOW won't hurt you.

I could think of some other nuggets but i'll leave it alone for now.

so in other news;

1. One of my best friends had been in the hospital for a bout a month. She was supposed to be in there for a lot longer but now she's doing great, and is home already! Woo! She deserves a high five.

2. the boy I like is now single. nuff said? nuff said. yup.

3. I'm watching Sailor Moon. I'm twelve episodes in and can't stop! it's sooo cute! haha! Luna the cat is ADORABLE. Btw, if you watch anime, its good to watch it on Myspace. easier than youtube. anime is the only reason I get on myspace.

4. I know what i wanna be, career-wise. I really wanna be an Editor. I'm already proofing and editing for a friend of mine, and he says i'm good at it. I've talked to my writing teacher about stuff like scholarships, and shall do more interwebz research. I just love writing. Whenever i see a poorly written paragraph, i just look at it and twitch... MUST... rewrite... paragraph... haha.

it looks like it's time for today's Lyrics. Let's go with some jazz. oooooooh yeaaaaaaaahhh.

sunday morning, rain is falling
steal some covers, share some skin
clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable,
you twist to fit the mold that I am in
but things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
and I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
that someday it would bring me back to you
that someday it would bring me back to you

~Sunday Morning, by Maroon 5.

And that's all for now! if you read this please subscribe and comment!

much love,

boulders [first draft! critique please?]

[Okay, so I wrote this last night. It's a songpoemsomethingorother. Not related to real life events, just a random rush of imagination. it's a story about a boy and a girl (obviously). the boy just lost his grandfather. that's why hes in the hospital. this particular boy does not like crying. at all. he thinks its a sign of weakness. All his friends and family left him alone, because that's what this guy normally likes. he's a lonerrrr. Except there's one girl, who happens to be good friends with him and also has a crush on him. She takes it up as her responsibility to be there for him in his hard times; to teach him it's okay to let go and lean on others; and also that he can trust her. He ends up cryin on her shoulder, obviously. Enjoy? ^_^]

She sees you in the hospital
head down, hands clasped before you
it seems you've lost it all
and she's been put there for you

you're glad the room is empty
because you're losing control
cuz when you keep it to yourself
it's hard not to let go

your friends left you alone
thought it'ss what you'd prefer
you might've thought so too...
...if not for her.

sometimes you gotta cry on a shoulder
there are times when you've got a boulder
times when you feel far older
far more weary than you need to feel

cuz she wouldn't leave you alone
not at a time like this
when a man becomes a kid again
there are chances he might miss

and she said I'm here for you
she said that it's okay
just do what you need to do
don't let me get in your way

sometimes you gotta cry on a shoulder
There are times when you've got a boulder
Times when you feel far far older
more weary than you need to feel

^ the above photo is, obviously, strawberries.. On a styrofoam plate. I am pleased :] haha fun times, we had this and a bunch of food worthy of dipping in a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN! =] one of the greatest sleepovers.

Today I made a dent in my homework, well isn't that ordinary. But I feel accomplished so I'm mentioning it.

My friend is coming over any minute and we're gonna go to church at sixish. that is always fun. Speaking of church, later i'm gonna post some thoughts about the first few paragraphs of james chapter 2 and some other passages connected to it. Hope you look forward to it =] it's a bit more than what I normally post [so far] haha.

Halloween is this weekend! What are YOU dressing up as? Post some fun pics and i will too! I'm going as Johnny Cash, since he is awesome and all. Not to mention an easy costume. All you need are some black cowboy boots, a black cowboy hat, and a back button down dress shirt. Well, I guess that's easy if you know girls who are into country and live in Texas. I borrowed the hat and boots and bought the shirt myself :] it's gonna be fun.

So my writing assignment this week is to take these five Aesop's Fables and rewrite them in my own words. I did the same thing a couple years ago in a different class, but it's gonna be fun anyways. And easy. ha. I already got two of them done. Woot woot! Maybe i'll post them after all the revisions. =]

Allrighty. Song lyric of the day! I'll make it shorter this time... ^.^;;;

Take all your problems
And rip 'em apart
Carry them off
In a shopping cart
And another thing
You should've known from the start
The problems in hand
Are lighter than at heart
Be like the squirrel, girl
Be like the squirrel
Give it a whirl, girl
Be like the squirrel
- Little Acorns, The White Stripes

looooooooooooove,

First post!

Happy birthday to mee! Or my journal, rather. In case you're wondering, the drawing above is of a campfire. In Gatlinburg. Yeyuh. Fun times =]

So yeah. I'm really, really into drawing. i'm in a class :] but that's all just still lifes, which are fun, but you can't be creative :/ later today i'm gonna practice drawing lips & hands, just 'cause they're so hard and I wanna get past that, haha.

I decided I need a Song Lyric of the Day here. To make things more interesting, and to find a way to connect with any readers I might have ahha yeah right. Since my friends are currently brainwashing me with country music, you're gonna see a lot of country mentioned here.
[coughcough Country isn't all I listen to Coughcoughcough]

song lyric of the day;

Well, it's a long, hot night
And the stars are shining kinda extra bright
Sitting on the back porch glidin'
Whetting my appetite

Well, I'm a six-pack high
Ans start missing the light of my baby's eyes
Wasn't it beautiful, the kind of a soul they said would never die

Well, ti's muggy in the shack
And the backwoods are black
'Cause the clouds hid the moon away
The light from my cigarette flickers in the dark
The only way she knows I'm here
Then suddenly the sounds of the fiddles and accordions
Sweetly begin to play and I can almost hear her sweet voice say...

Come on Joe, just count to ten
Pull yourself together again
And come on Joe, you gotta get hold of this mood you're in
Come on Joe, You gotta be strong
You're still young and life goea on to carry on
'Til we're together again

--Come On Joe, George Strait

Since my day was boring I've got nothin else to say currently, so see you tomorrow! or the day after! Hurray! haha =]
