Taking Sister Act to Heart

:: If you wanna be somebody... if you wanna go somewhere... you better wake up and pay attention... ::

I'm in school, good ole owens computer lab. I have math in about... oh, 12 min. And a test today too... but I'm telling you, I feel like a genius compared to what some of these kids know. So great! haha I am loving every bit of my photography class, and have to shoot a lot this weekend which should be fun since it'll be so psycho with everyone out and about for Labor Day. My english is a telecourse and let me tell you, I am not disciplined... I have so much reading to catch up on for that. My art history teacher is sweet. She's really cute and loves history so she gets excited about stuff and it makes me laugh. I like it. Other than that... trying to get a job, but really don't want one. I have to have one tho, my bills don't pay themselves!

I've been trying to hang out with friends when possible... but with so much drama of late, it's driving me up the wall. I am just ready to be done with it all. We'll see how it goes. Time to run to class. Have a good day everyone :)

What am I doing?
What have I done?
I don't understand

Only One

::
I stand before You now my Saviour
Shouting Your praise
You've changed my world and made my heart sing
And everything I have
I lay it at Your feet

Everything is different now with You my God
You broke my chains of sin
You're always there to lift me when I fall
You never let me go
Lord I give You my all

Now that I've found You everything around me is changing
Nothing will be the same
Now that You've saved me

I'll be the one to shout Your fame forever
I'll be the one to sing Your praise
My saviour
You are the strength inside of me
You are the light that let's me see
My only One

One of those days... I want to crawl into bed and not come out. Lisa's gone. I spent 3 hours last night cleaning the basement and my room. There are 6 full jumbo trash bags.... talk about junk. And classes started this week. It won't be that bad tho. I like photography a lot, my prof is pretty cool. Math sucks, but of course it does haha. It's really easy, I just hate doing it. I don't think my comp class will be bad either. My art history could go either way, but I think it will be interesting. I have that tonight. Other than that, gas prices are eating me alive, I haven't had time to read, my room is clean but I have so much laundry to do it's not even funny, I keep saying I'm gonna work out but it hasn't happened this week, Brittany bought me The Wedding Date and I have been watching it a lot, I have yet to actually spend a sufficient amount of time with friends this week, and I still have to scrub down the bathroom and convince my mom to let me rearrange downstairs. She's not budging. Gotta bust out the mad skills. And I happened to find more great music. I do love music. His name is Sufjan Stevens. Check him out. You will be pleasantly surprised. Total chill music. Okay, I'm out for today. Time for a nap and then who knows. Something always needs to be done :)



Once again I'm drawn to your voice. All I need is you. All my eyes wanna see is a glimpse of you.

Extraordinary

You think that I go home at night

Take off my clothes, turn out the lights

But I burn letters that I write

To you, to make you love me

::

Yeah, I drive naked through the park

And run the stop sign in the dark

Stand in the street, yell out my heart

To make, to make you love me

::

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me

I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary

Average every day sane psycho

Supergoddess

Average every day sane psycho

::

You may not believe in me

But I believe in you

So I still take the trash out

Does that make me too normal for you?

::

So dig a little deeper, cause

You still don't get it yet

See me lickin' my lips, need a primitive fix

And I'll make, I'll make you love me

::

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me

I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary

Average every day sane psycho

Supergoddess

::

See me jump through hoops for you

You stand there watching me performing

What exactly do you do?

Have you ever thought it's you that's boring?

Who the hell are you?

::

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me

I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary

Janelle got me hooked on this song. Thanks :) It's been in my head all day. Oh, and I did steal your away message just so you know :) It's a good one!

::

Lisa leaves tomorrow morning. I have class and can't go to help her move in. I'm gonna miss that girl.

::

I bought almost all my books today. I think I worked out just walking around the bookstore with 50 lbs of paper and texts. Talk about burning fat ;)

::

I have become a firm believer in stating "A nap a day keeps the yawns at bay." I made it up myself, but I don't really care. I have come to appreciate any amount of time I can snatch for sleep.

I am just bummed right now and still need to go do hw and sleep a bit before a long day tom. Hope you're having a good day friends. I'll write again... sometime ;)

A Short Overview Of My Day

Today: Partly sunny, slightly overcast. Chance of thunderstorms later on tonight.
Thought of today: Toothpicks really do make me happy.
Realization of today: God is never early or late, but always right on time.
Song of the day: Farewell, Rosie Thomas
High of today: My hair. lol I am having a great hair day. I love it!
Low of today: Probably my car. It is not doing so well.
Dinner today: Salmon, rice, and green beans... I am one healthy eating girl! (we're not including the donuts for breakfast in this catergory... shhh!)
Funniest moment of the day: Watching Brian do the scavenger hunt I helped Lisa make for him... it's his birthday. He was so lost and confused...it was just great. The highlight was that he showed up in sweats and a hooter's t-shirt. He makes me laugh.
Rest of the day: I'm assuming it will most likely consist of a movie and some R&R. I was gonna wash my car today, but it might rain... so def scratch that.

This was really the most pointless post I have ever written... well, maybe. But it's def up there. I was just wasting time till I had to leave. And that time has arrived. Later!

I Give In

I suppose I have put off writing in this for long enough. Plus, I have some time to spare, and what better way to spend it then telling everyone what they already know?!

I registered for classes at Owens last month. This week I changed them lol. I was gonna take business, but decided on photography. I'll actually enjoy classes this way. Aren't you all proud I'm going to school? My mother surely is. I think I had scared her into thinking I wasn't gonna go... she was close to a panic attack lol.

And what makes it all weird is that my little sister is going away to Kent. She finds it quite humorous that we'll both be starting school at the same time. I can do nothing but chuckle at her. I'm glad she's doing what she wants and not afraid to go after it. I'll help her move in and then I'll have somewhere else to escape to when the time calls for it. Kent is only a couple hours away... just far enough to actually feel like I'm "away" from Toledo. Lisa would agree with that, being it's the reason she picked it. So it'll be a good time. She's psyched, and I am for her.

I've been babysitting for my cousin off and on, reading a lot of books, went to Missouri last week for vacation, eating ice cream in bulk lol.... it's addicting when it's hot out! I've stayed busy despite the fact I really don't have a whole lot to do. I have prayer every morning at 7 in south toledo, and I normally come home and go back to bed, or start doing things and then realize I missed nap time completely and just drudge on through the day. How I make it on such little amounts of sleep at times is unknown to me. My dad is convinced I get it from him. What I am convinced I've gotten from him is allergies. And those are what's bugging the crap out of me lately. I couldn't sleep last night for the life of me. So annoying. But all in all, this summer has been fun, and I have got to spend a lot of time with friends and family.

I can't think of anything else at the moment. Other than good music lately... check out Rosie Thomas and Keri Noble, and Dana Glover. All are very... serene lol. They all do soundtracks for movies and tv series, so most of it is emotional girl stuff ... but I'm hooked at the moment. And if you want some of it, feel free to let me know, I'll send you some of their stuff.

Enjoy summer cause it'll be gone quick! I know I am. Thoroughly.
