well, i went to church tonight with austin and jordyn at st. anthony's.  we had fun, to say the least.  (i just found out that we have bullets now!  so i can bullet all the funny things from tonight!)

• austin, i can't believe you SLIPPED!!! 
• jordyn...this is GOD'S house!  behave yourself! 
• head and shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes.
• our nice little kickline.
• i PROMISE i was popping my ankle the first time.
• you're setting a bad example!
• i have to pee.
• why do they get to leave and we have to stay?
• i'm trying to pray!
• uh...i didn't know that Catholics believed in that sort of stuff...
• "i'd like to tell you a story about shepherd boooooys."
• jordyn, just jump over the top. 
• what's the point to having a convertable if you don't convert it?

THEN on the way home from sonic (because we went to get food from sonic) there were some STUPID teenage guys behind us who were swerving all over the road and literally riding my tail.  i think they came within a foot of connie's rearend.  then we went back to the chason's and watched charmed and the end of ocean's eleven.  then something else...but i don't know what it was called.  aaaanyway...yeah.  i had something else to write about, but now i've forgotten it! 

oh...i didn't write about the rest of my day...  ok, so apparently my dad came in to wake me up for church this morning and when he told me i was going to 9:00 mass with the rest of the family because we were greeters i said no and that i was going with the chasons that night.  yeah...my dad said something about it during lunch but i don't remember that at ALL!  interesting... 

my mom made me make a list of everything i have to get done before the bridal shower that's taking place here on saturday.  i have 4 pages of things i have to get done.  at least i ordered the skirts today, so that's taken care of...once they come in and jessica and i decide which size we want.  jessica and i are getting together tomorrow to get decorations and then mom and i are going out tomorrow night to look at paper for the rehearsal dinner invitations and other "shtuff".  then tuesday after i get out of class we're going to "hunt" around for someone to print the invitations out for us.  that's totally exciting, right?  ...we'll see about that...  and i have to figure out what food we're using and how we're serving it, on what, when, when i'm preparing it, etc.  i didn't want this to be so difficult.  *sigh* but it's all good, i love jen!  :-D 

i'm SOOO glad that schlitterbahn is this weekend!  i can't wait for this week to get finished so i can party on saturday and then chill sunday, monday and tuesday!  YAY FOR VACATION WITH SOME PEEPS FROM THE TEAM!  6 days, jordyn!!!!  get excited, ok?! 

Let's Be Us Again Lyrics
Artist: Lonestar 

Tell me what I have to do tonight,
‘Cause I’d do anything to make it right.
Let’s be us again.
Sorry for the way I lost my head,
I don’t know why I said the things I said:
Let’s be us again.

Here I stand with everything to lose,
And all I know is, I don’t wanna ever see the end.
Baby, please, I’m reaching out for you,
Won’t you open up your heart an' let me come back in?
Let’s be us again,
Ooh, us again.

Look at me, I’m way past pride.
Isn’t there some way that we can try,
To be us again.
An' even if it takes a while,
I’ll wait right here until I see that smile,
That says we’re us again.

Here I stand with everything to lose,
And all I know is, I don’t wanna ever see the end.
Baby, please, I’m reaching out for you,
Won’t you open up your heart an' let me come back in?
Let’s be us.

Instrumental break.

Baby, baby, what would I do?
Can’t imagine life without you.

Here I stand with everything to lose,
And all I know is, I don’t wanna ever see the end.
Baby, please, I’m reaching out for you,
Won’t you open up your heart an' let me come back in?
Oh, here I am, I’m reaching out for you,
So won’t you open up your heart an' let me come back in?
Let’s be us again.
Oh, let’s be us again.

you know a feeling that really sucks?!  having 2 screennames and finding out that one of your friends blocked you on one of them (because he doesn't know the other).  yeah...that would explain why when chris told me to look at jacob's away message i couldn't find him online even though chris said he was on.  *sigh*  oh well...  thanks, jacob!

(brought back for a second appearance--from may 20, 2003)
 
I missed the best opportunity because I was too scared
I missed the best guy because I wouldn't take a chance
I missed the best time because I was too late
I missed the best odds because they just don't fit
I missed the best friends because I didn't know what I wanted
I missed the best life because I didn't know which way to go

game day was oodles (of noodles) of fun...sometimes.  well, i thought i was supposed to be at the pool at 10 this morning because that's what austin told me because he thought if he told me to be there at 11 i would show up late.  no...i was there at 10.  i left my house this morning at 9 so i could stop by jiffy lube to drop off my oil (chris, i still want to know what they said) then went to walmart to get pie tins and batteries and another flashcard and buckets.  yeah...i was at the pool at 10...  thank goodness austin drove by and picked me up cuz i would have been there all alone with no idea what i was doing or where everyone was. 
 
i went to the chason's, we picked up everyone else over there and headed up to the pool to decorate for GAME DAY!  crazy crazy crazy stuff.  a popcorn machine, a snowcone maker, a moonwalk, a slip-n-slide, watermelon, a crisco rope, whipped cream pies, mardi gras beads, pennies, a penata...what a day! 
 
ok.  so, to get to the good stuff, we were going to have a pie throwing contest for the kids.  yes, they were going to throw pies at...vanessa and myself (is that right?).  well...as luck may have it, i was sitting down in my chair but they made me take off my shorts so i wouldn't get them ruined and when i went to sit back down...well...the chair kinna hit uneven ground, fell over backwards and broke; with me kind of in it.  WHAT a great thing for the whole neighborhood to see!  THEN we're having our pies thrown at us and vanessa got one smack-dab in the face and i'm not exactly sure what happened, but she fell over backwards and broke her chair as well.  (at least it made me feel better!)  nicci hit me in the side of the head with one and it got in my ear, some little kid walked up and shoved one in my face, JEREMY MISSED ME! and so did elton!  after the pie thing vanessa and i did the slip-n-slide but i kinna slipped and slid too far...and ate mud at the end.  so not only did i have whipped cream in my ear, i also had mud.  then vanessa and i did the moonwalk and almost killed ourselves getting in, out and jumping around inside.  what a wonderful hour.  too bad that wasn't all we did.  j/k  it was from 12 to 9 and...that's a really long time with lots of kids. 
 
jordyn, her friend (dang, i wish i was better with names) and i  had to go get ice twice today...16 bags...it was cold...and i think i got frostbite...  (complain, complain, complain)
 
ok, so chelsea and i were "guarding" in the deepend and she looked over at me and was like, "hey, what are those guys over at the playground staring at?"  i hadn't even noticed them before she said anything, but she said they'd been there for almost 30 minutes.  they were at least 15 and were just standing on the playground equipment staring at the pool area.  (probably at her, but i wasn't going to tell her that.)  then, since i guess they'd been "caught" they tried to hide in the equipment but still stare.  thank goodness guy went out there and talked to them!  hehe...that was just...creepy!
 
after game day was over, all the guards and others went to champps for some "dinner" and dessert.  well...more like $140 worth of dinner and dessert.  i LOVE the messy sundae!  if you ever go there, get it.  it's really cool and REALLY good!  hehe...but the mile high thing was pretty good, too.  i don't think i was too crazy about the chocolate cake or the cookie thing, but the other two were pretty incredible.  we were supposed to be going to the chason's after champps to watch pirates of the caribbean since that was today's theme, but...yeah...didn't happen.  maybe tomorrow after church with austin and jordyn, at the CRAZY church, we'll watch it!?  we'll see...
 
today consisted of too much lactose for a lactose-intolerant person...

i'm getting bad about forgetting things while i'm blogging.  ok, so while we were out changing my oil my mom came out.  i had a story i wanted to tell her so...

me-what?
mom-your momma

today was loads of fun.  so, i thought i was going to have to wake up early enough to be ready to leave by 8:30 because that's when vanessa and austin were supposed to get here...but they didn't come until 9-ish.  so, they came and we left to go to arne's downtown.  i printed off directions then told austin to sit in the front seat (vanessa drove) because i'm a HORRIBLE navigator.  we're driving down kuykendahl, almost at rankin when THIS conversation takes place:
austin-what's that?
vanessa-the park and ride
austin-your MOM'S the park and ride
all-wow, that one was good
austin-i knew there was a reason we said "your mom's a [fill in the blank] after everything"
 
maybe you had to be there, i'm not really sure.  vanessa and austin, thanks for informing me about woowoos and weewees!  i feel older now. 
 
ok, so we're getting downtown and austin's giving directions (because i'm horrible at it) and the mapquest directions are sending us the wrong way...and we got lost.  so, brilliant vanessa says "just give the map to miree.  she'll find it!"  yeah...i had to figure out which way we were going first, then find us on the map (i can't read maps) then find our way to the stupid store.  i, amazingly enough, found it but then austin took full credit for it...just because he saw the really big sign from the street that he couldn't find.  inSIDE arne's, we were really disappointed in the selection of stuff...until we found out there's an upstairs!!! :-D  they've got crazy good stuff there.  vanessa and i are going to go back to get stuff for next year for swim team.  YAY!!  $144 and 2 piñatas later, we're out of the store...and off to costco to get the food part.  yeah...  we got a little lost trying to figure out how to get onto I-10 so we could get onto 249 so we could get to costco and that was adventure enough for me.  since we were all famished, though, we stopped at chammps to eat lunch.  good food...GREAT dessert...austin cleaned the glass for us!  AAAAND, we got umbrellas.  "um, what do we have to order to get an umbrella?  cuz we want some!"  austin put lots of salt, a little pepper and spit in vanessa's iced tea, so i had to order one because we didn't want to tell our waiter that we were immature...even though we are...  costco was WAY too much fun.  i don't think we've figured out what to do about the pie tins yet because i was supposed to go to the chason's tonight but got a little...sidetracked instead.  i'll get up to the pool earlier than expected tomorrow and then i'll do everything i didn't do today.  :-(  $250 later, we're out of costco and trying to figure out how on EARTH we're going to get all this stuff home...then remember that we need the keys to get into the clubhouse to put everything inside.  so we drive BACK down 290 to mr. chason's office to steal his keys...and he lectured us about how much we spent...even though he doesn't know how much we've spent yet...  WE'RE ALL GUNNA DIE WHEN HE SEES HIS CREDIT CARD BILL!!!! 
 
uh...i think that's all that really happened with vanessa and austin.  then i came home and chris came over and then my family came home and we changed connie's oil and then changed tracy's oil and then he went home and then i called david since he called me earlier and now i'm here getting ready to post this so i can go brush my teeth and go to bed.  i should say more...but i don't know what to say.  austin's going to kill me tomorrow when i see him...but i'll be there early... 
 
i have such a low self-esteem...i just want someone to like me... *whine*

yeah...so i TOTALLY forgot to write about the kroger excursion with jordyn.  ok, so we're going to kroger to get some allouette and crackers.  well, we get there (in kroger) and her mom called to say that she had brought some up to the pool for austin already, but i wanted some so we went inside to look for it.  crackers were easy to find, but we had a little trouble when it came to the allouette.  so...we go to where the creamcheese and grated cheese and everything is, assuming that that's where it will be.  wow...you'd think i'd learn about assuming.  anyway, it wasn't there.  we looked ALL over the place, i raised my hand like i was lost or in school (no one came to my rescue, if you care) and then jordyn saw a kroger worker at the end of one of the aisles.  i never really know what to say to people like that because they don't see me approaching and i don't want to scare them or anything, but i really want to ask the question.   this is kind of how the conversation went:
 
me-excuse me. (he turned)  do you know if you sell allouette cheese spread?
him-did you look in the cheese section?
me-we looked over by the creamcheese.  is that where it would be?
him-follow me.
(we walk)
jordyn-oh, yeah...i guess that IS where my mom usually buys it from.
 
thanks, jordyn!  make me look stupid...again.
 
OOOOOOOOOH...and i went over to the chason's tonight to give austin directions to my house and austin pulled me over to a mirror.  "we are beautiful people." *smile*  "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!"  THANKS, AUSTIN!!!!  i feel better about myself now...  your story about your stupid, ugly choir teacher didn't make me feel any better...

I DON'T GET IT!!!  and, yes, this has many meanings... 
 
FIRST of all:  WHAT DID THEY DO TO THIS SITE?!  i don't even understand it anymore.  i feel like i'm writing in Word, but it's not correcting all my errors for me.  why can't they just keep this site NORMAL!?  everytime i get used to the changes, they change them again.  so...i was going to try to post a picture, but can't seem to figure it out...probably because i'm really stupid, but...that's way besides the point...
 
SECOND of all:  since i don't seem to be catching on, why don't you tell me when we're allowed to be friends.  i mean...i thought i asked if things were going to be ok between us and i could hav SWORN you said they were...then called me back over to give me a hug.  so, why tonight when i asked you for one did i not get one?!  did i miss something?  wait...it's me...i had to miss something.  but...do you think you could fill me in...just MAYBE?!
 
THIRD of all:  i just don't get it.
 
today was a FUN day...up until the end.  i woke up kinna early and had enough time to straighten my hair for school.  not that i had any reason to, but it was fun either way!  then i got to class JUST as the prof was so i didn't have to sit on the ground waiting for her.  then when we all got in there, we were talking while she went to get something copied and the girl sitting in front of me asked if i remembered her from the Y (which i kinna did...i knew she looked familiar but thought it was because we had swum together long ago) and so we started talking a little bit...then she asked where i went to school.  i told her that i went to klein and some other guy in the room was like "i'm sorry!"  haha...WHY!?  it wasn't that bad...then we got to talking about that.  he graduated in 2000 (btw doug and richard) and when jessica told him that we graduated in 2003, he was like "wow...now i feel old!"  aaanyway...  so the prof came back and took up our papers and took role and then kinna looked at us and said, "i'm having a bad day today...i'm in a really bad mood.  do y'all wanna have class today?"  haha..."NO!!!"  so jessica and i went to the mall instead of coming home.  i got some stuff for the rehearsal dinner and some sunglasses (actually 3 pairs) and some jewelry for my mom...if she wants it. 
 
then i went to work...with austin...  'nough said!  austin is a HOOT to work with.  goodness...  austin, we're going to hell.  i just hope you get there first (no offense) cuz then i'll have someone to talk to.  everyone else hates me.  i'm soo glad we're co-presidents of the "low self-esteem club".  i told my mom about it and she said that she would love to join!  hehe...WE HAVE OUR FIRST MEMBERS!!!  i'm sorry that you thought you were seeing things tonight...i'm pretty sure it wasn't lightning outside, though.  and WHY did people come at 8 and stay until 8:55?!  someone explain that one to me.  i really do wish i could remember everything i was going to write about.  the day was just TOO long...  and those floatation devices...you know how they kinna screw with my mind sometimes!! 
 
and jordyn...  jordyn, jordyn, jordyn.  i love you, girl!  i still can't believe that we tipped some guy $3 (2 in quarters) SIMPLY because he looked cute...from the little bit of him we got to see.  WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?!  now, had he been really excited about it, i can KIND of understand, but...i don't usually tip sonic boys...no matter HOW they look. 
 
man, i can't remember what else i was going to write about.  stupid brain farts...  *sigh*  i think i'm getting too old for this.
 
COUNTDOWNS:
schlitterbahn: 9 days
richard home: 23 days
wedding: one month (i think that means 31 days)
move-in: 34 days
school: ...i'm, actually, not very sure.  i'll have to look that one up!

well...i went to get my hair cut and highlighted yesterday...and came back with it a LITTLE lighter than i had anticipated, but it's no big deal. IT'S ALL EVEN NOW!!! *hehe* i straightened it today cuz...well...yeah, i'm not sure why...

yesterday i went swimming at, like, 2:00 and swam my mile! YAY for swimming a mile. i think my mom's mad at me because i can swim and she can't. not that my mom can't swim, but she never has time and i don't do anything so i do...and i think that bugs her. :( I'M SORRY, MOMMY!! i doubt i'll be able to swim a mile today, though, because i'm going to work today!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!! i miss being around these people. and i get to do it TWICE this week! hehe...after class i'm going to go be a lifeguard at londonderry and then on saturday i'm going to work the "game party" at londonderry. yay for that! hehe...

maybe i can get someone to go swim with me tonight...?! if you're interested in going to the Y tonight to swim, give me a call...i'll probably leave londonderry early and then head out to the Y. i'll call you too...just to see what you've been up to...

jen decided yesterday about our skirts!!! i'm SOOO relieved, actually. i feel better, now, knowing that it's almost totally taken care of. now i have to call nordstrom at the galleria and see if they have the skirts in stock so we can try them on before buying them...incase we don't choose the right size, that is.

well...i gotta read before class...have a good one! i'll write about today when i get home! YAY FOR A TAN!!! :-D

well...i did it. i've got RED highlights now...it's CRAZY!! hehe...no one's gunna like it. mom didn't, dad's gunna freak, rob's gunna die and david's gunna give me the "disapproval" look. but...they'll get over it. I LIKE IT!!

6:48 PM


|  

well...it felt good! i swam another 1650 (that's a mile for those of you who don't know that). it felt GOOD!!! :-D for the first time in almost a week, i actually feel good!

goin to get my hair cut!!! hopefully it won't be too short...

4:20 PM

ok, so i thought getting rid of sarah was going to make this semester better...NOT! i think i've decided that there's going to be one of them in every class. there are three girls in my class this time who have something to say about everything. the guy sitting in front of me, tom, disagrees with almost everything they say, but i guess he can't decide whether to say anything about it or not because he opens his mouth like he wants to argue back, but then just kind of looks at them like they're stupid. it kinna makes me laugh. jessica and i give each other looks, too.

so, yesterday we were talking about one of the poems and all of us but one girl thought it was a boy narrating the poem. just...the way it was written, made it sound more like a boy was saying it than a girl. she, however, disagreed saying that she could totally relate to it because that was how her life used to be, or something like that. then we pointed out something about the "sunday shoes were polished" and she said that in "black families" that's how things work. or something like that. she proceeded to say that black families go to church every sunday...almost insisting that "white families" don't go to church or something. jessica and i were both getting a bit...offended to say the least since both of our families go to church almost every sunday...with VERY few exceptions. *sigh* it just pissed me off. i really wanted to raise hell on that one, but decided it wasn't worth arguing about since it was irrelevant to the poem...which SHOULD have been the major topic.

so i guess that's it. i'm waiting on my phone call from zach telling me what we're doing for lunch, but am starting to doubt that it will come. i'm HUNGRY!!! i haven't had anything to eat all day (except for the yucky chocolate i just ate) and...I WANT FOOD!!!!

12:28 PM

oh my GOODNESS!!!! i can't believe i totally forgot to blog it... until reading erin's LJ, i forgot i had even found out. well, i checked my grades online 2 days ago and managed to pull an "A" in that stupid class with that stupid professor. i'm thinking he didn't even look at our research paper except to make sure that it was 5 pages and that it had 5 sources on the works cited. i don't know how i could have pulled off an "A" otherwise, since i had 2 "B-" and one "A" but the "B-"s were worth more than the stupid "A". aaaanyway, i think that's it. now for this new class...i better get studying for the poetry test... *sigh*

9:01 AM


|  

hey, chris...thanks for starbucks tonight. i think that's something i've really been needing...some good, old fashion, quality "chris and miree time"! why don't we ever do that anymore?! for the life of me i can't seem to remember. and thanks for always telling me you like my papers even though we both know they suck major straws. i think you're probably the only thing getting me through these stupid summer school classes. just wait til november of 2005...it's gunna rock your socks off!!!! :-D (can you tell i'm excited about it?!) we gotta go party together sometime! *hehe*

MAJOR gastralgia and cephalgia tonight. i just took some meds, but they're not working...not fast enough, at least...

ALMOST finished with this stupid paper. thanks again for editting for me! *sigh* just 4 more papers, 4 more weeks, and we're finished...for a week or 2...

oh yeah...i think i burned my face today when i was out "tanning". kinna sucks that the rest of me didn't seem to get any color at all, but i have a nice sunglasses whiteness...and my cheeks are RED! *hehe* i kinna like it! maybe tomorrow i'll sit out again before i go get my hairs cut and colored! (i'm such a fake!)

ok, so i'm outside on the deck trying to get a tan. like always, i HAD to have music (i'm not very patient and music usually makes the time pass faster). well, i was listening to the radio and a commercial came on so i pushed play (on the tape player) because i figured there was probably a tape in there. sure enough, there was, and THIS is the song that was playing... it's an oldie but a goody! hope you all enjoy it!

(Everything I Do) I Do It For You

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Every Light In The House lyrics
by: Trace Adkins

I told you I'd leave a light on
In case you ever wanted to come back home
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture
I took your every word to heart
'Cause I can't stand us being apart
And just to show how much I really miss ya

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
Thr front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

If I should ever start forgetting
I'll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree it's over
But until then I want you to know
If you look south, you'll see a glow
That's me waiting at home each night to hold ya

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
Thr front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

ok. i thought this was really funny and just HAD to share it... well, first of all, i went to the Y and swam a 1050. not too much...but it felt good...for the most part. (i'm not going to complain!) but the lady that's the coach-ish-person told me that i bring my head up too much on freestyle when i breath (causing me to bob...which i've done since dirk) and that my breaststroke and butterfly look really comfortable and NATURAL! haha...ok. butterfly, ok, i can understand that. i mean i WAS a butterflier for almost 12 years BUUUUUUUUUT, breaststroke?! i've NEVER been told that my breaststroke looks comfortable. USUALLY i hear that i look like a dying cow or something. hehe...so...that was nice to hear. i have to wonder if it looked comfortable because i was doing a drill with breaststroke arms and butterfly kicks. hmmm...makes me a little curious! oh well...mommy needs my computer, so i guess that's all for me!

i think i'm going to watch 50 first dates tonight. yay for that!

YAY FOR KATIE AND MIREE TIME!!!! katie e and i went to lunch today and spent around 2 hours together. it was nice to catch up on things. i hope that she doesn't feel all weird and uncomfortable around me or talking to me or whatever, but if she does...i still love her. guess who's thinking about going to txstate!?!?!? YOU GOT IT!!!! hehe...if she goes to txstate then i'll be in a house and she'll be on campus and she can buy me FOOD!! *wink* j/k, katie! no, but seriously...that'd be really cool! hopefully we'd talk more than katie wynns and i talk, though...or that'd be really sad and pathetic... I LOVE KATIE!!!!!

vanessa and austin called me today asking if i wanted to go shopping with them for stuff for the pool party (pirates of the caribbean themed) on saturday. of COURSE i can't pass up a shopping trip, so i hopped in my car and met them at wal-mart on louetta and 45 and we went to the dollar store ($60) and wal-mart ($50). ...and we're not finished yet... yay for decorations! i went to party city tonight (without them *gasp*) to look for stuff and they have some cute pirate stuff. (ps-i need to call vanessa later and report my findings!) so that was lots of fun! caroline and gary met us there and then we went to taco cabana and they all ate (i had just eaten with kate) and then we went home. i miss those kids. they're loads of fun. i'm glad i'm working thursday and saturday with them...too bad kim won't be there, though...i think i just might cry *tear* she's going to be at the olympic trials (watching, not participating) so she won't be there...but she IS going to schlitterbahn!

what else...class was alright today. it took the WHOLE 2 hrs and 10 minutes...the WHOLE thing... we talked about love and sex today...what an interesting conversation... *sigh* i think i hate love...it doesn't work for me...ever... oh well... i'm getting ready to head up to the Y to get some laps in. i'll write more if more comes to mind...

been thinking... (actually, i know a few of us have been thinking this, but i think i need to get it out...since my stomach hurts, my head hurts, i can't sleep, etc...)

i want to find love. i want to find love like doug and jen have. i want to find it and know it's "the love". i keep thinking i've found it. too bad both of us don't always feel the same way. maybe that's a sign. i mean...if you think you've found "mr. perfect" and it doesn't work, what does it mean? maybe i'm going to be alone for the rest of my life. haha...wow...that's a really pathetic and lonely thought. but, what can i say? maybe that's the truth. you can't tell me that once you've felt SOOO strongly for someone, that it can get more intense than that.

looks like it's all just in my head. i guess i should stop following my heart and be more cautious with what i do, what i say, who i say things to, etc.

good luck with...stuff...

well...what can i say? at least now i know, i guess. sucks to think that's how it has to be, but...well...at least now i know. you don't have to lie anymore or hide the truth anymore or anything. it's all out. i'm sorry that i couldn't be it, but...if you change your mind...you know the rest...

as for sleeping tonight, i think i've just given up. i can go all week on 10 hours! i did it during swim season so why should now be any different. 2 hrs last night, maybe an hour tonight...we'll see how it goes.

shit happens...that's life...

i can't sleep. i wish i knew what it was that was worrying me so much that i can't sleep. i just...need to know, i guess. why can't things be easier?

i wish people were totally honest with me about how they feel about things. if that would happen, then i'd know whether to stay in or out of your life... but now, i'm really not sure.

i'm soo confused. won't someone PLEASE unconfuse me?! yeah...that'd be really nice right about now...

thanks erin and karen for listening...richard, i'm sorry i didn't listen to you more...i think you were right; you know what you're talking about...

yesterday was SOO much fun! after my first day of class (for the second semester), erin and i went to galveston for the day...just the two of us. it was really nice...and really relaxing. we talked ALL the way down there (top up most of the way) and then when we got to our "destination point" we went in the water for a little, tried to "catch waves" and then tried to get a tan...with the nice big, grey cloud that seemed to ONLY be over us. oh well, it wasn't hot and there was a really nice breeze. and even if i didn't get a tan yesterday, it was really really nice to be able to get some of that stuff out with erin. i just...needed to talk to HER about it. i've noticed that she always knows what to say... yesterday she made fun of me (again) for fighting with myself about something or other. i'm not even exactly sure what it was, but she was like "yeah...no...well, maybe...no...well, yes. i suppose that's it"... i do NOT fight with myself that much...do i? we ate dinner at joe's crab shack then took down connie's top and drove home listening to music until we got close to houston then we yelled over the noise to talk...then talked some more when we got to her house. i think we got into katy around 8:00 and i left to come home around 9:00. thanks for yesterday...it was really nice...i'm glad we can still do stuff like that...and i miss you! too bad erin's not going to the DCI thing tonight. mina really wanted to meet her, i know, but she's got other obligations to take care of. hehe...i know, i know!

ok...so ONLY in texas can you find cows next to the beach. erin and i were driving to the beach yesterday and notice that there are fields of cows...there are COWS in galveston right next to the BEACH!!! COWS AT THE BEACH!!! *sigh* only in texas...

tonight's the DCI thing...and i get to see some of my kiddos from swim team again! YAY!!! and i'm driving bertha, apparently, because instead of only taking the 2 people i THOUGHT i was going to take (since mommy decided she can't come), i'm taking, like, 10 people...and poor connie can't hold that many people. so, bertha it is!! mom and i are switching right now (since i'm at her office trying to get directions...but i can't make the printer print...).

well, i suppose that's it for the day...

OOOOOOOOH!!!!!! i can't believe i almost forgot... the plummer had to come today... our sinks in the upstairs bathroom were filling up by themselves so my dad tried to fix it (cuz he's "mr. fixit" and everthing) but it didn't work and now there's a big mess in there. anyway, so i'm outside vacuuming all the sand (i think half the beach came home with us either in my suit--another story i forgot--or in the car) out of connie when the plummer came. there was a funny part to that story, but now i forgot it because i want to tell the OTHER story...so...yeah

ok, so erin and i were goofing around burrying our feet in the sand and stuff, trying to build "mud castles" and stuff like that... we dug a big hole and she was like "hey, do you think your butt can fit in that hole?" yeah...you got it!! we burried my butt and legs. YAY!!! it was lots of fun. it wasn't even with sand...so we were getting a GOOD workout trying to the mud out of the hole. but...anyway, it was lots of fun. once she got me all good and burried...yeah...it was fun. i guess you had to be there, but HAHAHAHA!!!! YOU WEREN'T!!!! (and neither was andrew *tear*)

well, kids...i think that's all i have to write. hopefully our internet will be back up and running again tomorrow and i can talk on AIM again, but if not...yeah. have a great, safe weekend!!!

IT'S OVER!!!!!!!! thank goodness. ok, so i went in, turned in my paper, took the final, we went with ben to sign up for next semester, mina and i went to smoothie king (my treat) for an "end of the semester" celebration drink, then mina went home and i took ben home. now i'm home...alone (david left at 1:40 to go on his trip) and i should probably clean, but i don't want to... i'm soo lazy...but i'm SOOO glad that the stupid semester is over. NO MORE SARAH!!!!!!! (...unless mina jinxed me into having her in my next semester class...) well, i think that's probably about all i have to say right now about anything. i'm gunna go clean my room, wash some clothes, read a book and CHILL!! (maybe i'll go outside and read/tan?!)

friday night at 8:00 DCI is coming to rice stadium again if anyone's interested in going. student tickets are $12 and adults are $20 plus parking (but i can't remember how much that is). give me a call if you're interesed...or leave me a message here!

I'M FINISHED!!! i just finished my FINAL paper (1543 words) of this stupid english class. it's probably not the best paper i've ever written (and i really need to get an "A" on it to get an "A" in the class), but i just don't care anymore. it's pretty hard to give a flying monkey's butt what happens if the prof reads it and "gets a vibe as to what the grade should be" instead of reading for content. in other words, he doesn't like me because he can't pronounce my name so i get bad grades. THAT MAKES SENSE!! but all i have to do now is turn in this stupid research paper, take the 40 question final and i'm OUTTA there! (...only to start the second semeseter the next day...)

on a little better note...well...i guess i don't really have anything else to say. i went out with jessica to see if we could find someone to make our skirts for us and the price ranged from $55 to $85...both more expensive than we thought it would cost. *sigh* it's alright, doug's only getting married once so i suppose i can spend that much money on it...since i'm not the one paying for it... we didn't end up going to anyone yet. we're still looking around and waiting for a final decision from jen about what she wants us to do.

RICHARD CALLED TODAY!!!! i'm picking him up from the bush airport on saturday, august 7th at 1:20 in the morning. i'm soooo totally psyched!!! i can't wait to see him again. it's been almost a year since the last time we got to hang out and...YAY!!! hopefully this time he'll get to meet karen!! ;) (love you, girl!)

my room's a mess... i should clean, shouldn't i? dutch is sleeping at the head of my bed...inside the sheets...where i have to sleep. it's gunna be full of dog hair when i try to get in. NO FUN! but i love him, too.

david's leaving tomorrow to go on his trip. he's gunna be gone for 10 days...i'm gunna miss the baby. hope he's got everything he needs for the trip...

i'm outtie! matt wants to talk about stuff, so...we'll see...

well...i finally did it. i finally put some pictures on a website to share with everyone! if you haven't found it yet, it's under erin's link on the left hand side of this blog. *duh*

aaanyway, i went to the movies tonight for david's "birthday". (his real birthday is on saturday but since he's going to be traveling with our uncle we're not going to be together to celebrate and movie...) we saw dodgeball. ok...i'm not going to say i didn't like it because then i'd be lying quite a bit. i thought it was really clever and rather hilarious, HOWEVER, i'm not quite sure how it was rated PG-13. it seemed rather "R" to me. i dunno...maybe that's just me. too much...something in there. and i thought if the "f-bomb" was dropped it had to be "R" but obviously not because it was "dropped" and the film is not too highly rated. but, hey, whatever! it's a good movie and i think you should see it!

as for the cruise... scott did all the homework and found out that you have to be 21 to be able to go on a cruise without your mommy and/or daddy along with you. since i won't be 21 until november of next year this causes a TEEEEENY bit of a problem. not too big, however, because i suggest we just move it back one year. david was excited about that because he'll be 18 and assumed that meant he could go...not too excited when i told him the bad news... so, now you have 2 years to collect enough money instead of one! hope you decide to come with us!!

we went "car shopping" today. not that my mom or i are getting a new car, but we both drove the ford escape and, i have to admit, i'm rather interested in said SUV! robert's looking for a 2001 (or newer) manual ford ranger. i don't think he's particularly picky about the color but i know he wants that much. apparently, manuals are not carried on the lot like they used to be. it seems to me that you now have to "special order" something that was at one point in time standard. crazy how that works, eh?

as for me...i should REALLY be writing my research paper (1500 words arguing my side of the abortion topic...i have 200) but you see how motivated i am to get that going, right? right... i hope chris really meant what he said about helping me write it cuz i have a feeling i'm going to be calling him out of the library for some MAJOR ideas for this stupid thing... I'M SOOO READY TO BE FINISHED WITH THIS GARSH DAGNABIT ENGLISH "PROF"!!!!!!! last week of classes then i'll never have to see this guy again!

TODAY MY BLOG IS 2 YRS OLD!!! 
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BLOG!
 
here's the first post i ever put in here:
 
Hey! Well, here it is! The first day for me to try to use one of these. At first I figure I'll do an okay job keeping up with this, but sooner or later I'm going to forget about it and leave it. But until then...
 
So, I think I really don't like boys! (No, I'm not a lesbian or anything.) Boys are too much to handle. Y'all are the most confused, confusing creatures ever created! Even though guys can be really cute and really sweet, I think they try to hard sometimes and it ends up just confusing me to death! The only boys that aren't confusing (or so I've decided) are the ones I work with and my brothers and cousins.
 
Since it's only 2:00 on Friday morning, I can't really tell you about my day so far so I'll tell you about my Independence Day! I went to Kingwood to visit with my cousins. Yes, these would be the same people I just spent seven days on a ship with. Strangly enough, I'm not sick of them or anything. It was relaxing to see them again because it kind of made me forget that I was back at home with clothes to wash, work to do, and lesson plans to write. We got there about 12:30-ish and didn't get home until 11, I guess. Didn't do too much while there besides eat and I attempted to teach my Uncle Mike the butterfly. Have any of you ever had to see me trying to teach someone to swim something? Yeah, I get paid to do it, but I can't do a very good job of it. My mom, Doug and David all had ot get in the water with us to show me how to show him and we were all trying to instruct him. Dude, that was BAD! Anyway, I think Mike got the stroke down after a few demonstrations and a few mess ups and me arguing with my mom on how to do the "bump". Not that any of you care about this, though! So, yeah, that's kinna all I've done today! Have a great day and I'm going to try to write in this again tonight!
