I think this is probably one of the most true and saddest things I’ve realized lately. Outside of Christ, there is no life.

take the plan, spin it sideways
can you tell you love something just by titles. or a very small portion of it. i can usually. i think first impressions are generally correct. this year i wasted a lot of time going back on a first impression and then figuring out i was right in the end after all. but really in my life i think i’ve done that. a lot of time is spent giving all these chances i feel. “when i really...

todays.a.hard.day. but i’ve accomplished a lot of healing on today. which makes me feel in some sense like i’m countering the dark ties of it. does that make sense? i don’t really care if it does, it makes sense to me. i watched dedication last night. it was the best film of my life. not kidding. i just want to watch it over and over again so that i can have all the important...

i thought this article was fascinating and truthful. the ad referred to was actually for acquire the fire, which although i did not go to, i heard tons about. i think this is a wake up call not to take everything at face value.

spring 08
has started. so that’s kind of weird and on my mind. doesn’t it seem old? i guess fall semester never seems weird cause i’ve already had eight months to wrap my mind around the present year. but spring it’s like BAM new year BAM new semester. so far today: my teachers actually decided to teach on syllabus day, and i did not leave one class early i bought lovedrugs new...

little reminders that you're out on your own

i have really really REALLY been loving 2008. i just think it’s going to be a really great year. the only kind of bad thing that was happening (ie. my christian beliefs class) i transfered out of. so no big. this was the first year that i didn’t get absolutely so depressed on new years eve that i couldn’t handle life. in fact, i actually had a really good new years eve,...

everyone had a little too much wii
dad on the phone: we seem to be missing a wii remote
me: oh i thought i was supposed to take it (to my brothers house) to play with it
dad: well when is it coming back?
me: when i come home tonight, what do you want me to drive home and bring it back and then drive back to ryan's
dad: let me check (whispering in the background) no that's okay, but what time is it coming home
me: i don't know, do you need me (their twenty year old daughter who has not had a curfew since highschool) to be home at a certain time
dad: hold on (more whispering) no, just bring it home when you do
my family just can't get enough wii.

one thing that i have always been down on myself about is that i really don’t think i am truly original. it seems that i am always taking bits and pieces from other people and combining them into my own. stuff i read, listen to, see, i tend to combine these things into what i consider to be my own style. i have really struggled with this especially when it concerns my writing, drawing,...
