She wants to go home
One of the few Avril songs I like...
But nobody's home
That's where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go
To dry her eyes
Broken inside
So I finally finished unpacking today. (I almost left it all in my suitcase - I mean, I'm leaving again in two weeks!) I stuck my hand in the front pocket of my backpack just to make sure nothing was in it - I hadn't put anything in it this trip - and I found a card-thingy. Sorta a business card I s'pose. And it had Benjamin Mann's info on it. :-P So uh, is this one of THE Manns? And if it is, is it one of the sons? And... hoooow the heck did it get in my backpack?!
Just a leeeeettle bit creepified...
Don't it feel so good
I'm baaaaack! Have been back. Since 5 PM Saturday. It's sad, but at the same time... I do love my bed. ;-)
Flying high without a net above the neighborhood
I love to cross the line
I get a running start and I go five steps at a time
Oh wouldn't it be scary
Just being ordinary?
The conference was so absolutely and completely awesome, and not just because I got to see all my friends - including Bekah Koch, who I haven't seen in years! *hugs Bekah* But man, all those wonderful sectionals and sermons... that gooorgeous cathedral... dang, it was just an incredible experience. Colorado Springs, here we come! ;-D
Well, not much has happened since we got back... Pookie came back with us, so dodging him and Bekah's flirting has been... interesting. ;-P I can't see too much or I miss Tim really bad. SPEAKING of which!
I GET TO GO TO TIM'S HOUSE IN AUGUST. :-D I'll be gone for 16 glorious days, August 13 - 29. That's only two weeks and 5 days awaaaay!! *BOUNCES* It helps to have something to look forward to after coming home from something you miss terribly...
Well, I can't think of anything else to blog about... and Pookah (that's Pookie and Bekah combined - I'm tired of typing out both names ;-P) wants to watch The Forgotten. Yay, scary movies late at night. ;-) PANTS, everybody!
Ooo life's so sweet right here in the passenger seat
Ooo yeah life's so sweet
When I look to my left, see his suntanned hands
His muddy river hair and his thousand-acre plans
I'm all shook up like a quarter in a can
Ain't life sweet in the passenger seat
So I'm just about packed! And we're LEAVING TOMORROW!!! :-D I'm sooo excited. I absolutely adore road trips.
My aunt's coming to house-sit... but I'm still kinda worried, 'cause Laddie sometimes throws fits when we leave. Oh well, I s'pose he'll be okay... I just hope Hurricane Emily doesn't decide to hike up to Galveston while we're gone, either. ;-P
If you need to contact me while I'm gone... well... tough cookies. ;-) We'll have all our cell phones (mom's, dad's and mine/Bekah's), but I have no idea who reads this, so I'm not posting any numbers. ;-P If you REALLY need me, email/IM Tim and he can give you my number. ;-)
We'll be back Saturday afternoon or evening sometime, so talk to y'all then!! :-D
Someday baby, you and I are gonna be the ones
Keith Urban is reallyreally good. I just sort of realized that after Hanna got his Be Here CD. ;-) Time to burn a copy!
Good luck's gonna shine
Someday baby, you and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on
We're headed for a better life
So today is laundry-and-cleaning-house day. I cleaned the downstairs (minus the bathroom, Bekah's room and the kitchen - those are Bekah and mom's responsibilites, respectively ;-)), and of course my room I did yesterday. My room is very sparkly now. :-D I moved posters and stuff around... I still need to move Aragorn over a couple inches and put up my Battle of Geonosis poster. I also shoved my bed back up against the wall, instead of angled like it was... my room looks so HUGE now! Dang. My furniture is so dark and heavy that it's always made my room (the biggest bedroom in the house besides the master bedroom) look tiny. But now with the bed against the wall it's... yeah. Huge. ;-)
I'm JUST about done with laundry, upon which blessed event I can begin PACKING! So. My project after I finish this post is to make a packing list.
So yesterday we went to Wal-mart and got a bunch of stuff we need for the trip... and I found these REALLY nifty "mounting squares" to stick pictures to the wall with. They don't hurt the picture and they don't hurt the wall paint - can you get any better than that?! ;-) So now I've plastered a bunch of pictures up by my comp desk. Which, btw, is new - I bought it with some of my graduation money a couple weeks ago. :-D
Tomorrow the Borghardts come over! :-D And then there's only TWO DAYS until we hit the road! YAY! By the way - we'll be getting to St. Louis around 2 PM Monday. We're leaving Sunday after church, spending the night just outside Little Rock, and then heading up to St. Louis. :-)
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid, turned it blue
So the symphony was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTICALLY INCREDIBLY AWESOME. :-D $56 seats and it was worth EVERY DANG PENNY. I love the symphony soso much. I must go more often! So yeah, if any of y'all get the chance to see the LotR symphony, TAKE IT! ;-)
Not much happening... just gearing up for DtbL. :-D I've *almost* got my sectional stuff figured out. I burned a bunch of CDs to take with and organized my CDs... Friday I'll get my suitcase out! Yay! I love packing. ;-)
So today I cleaned out my closet. It was very ew. It's all nice and organized now; I boxed up a lot of stuff and threw a lot of other stuff away. Taught piano today... oh! I called Anna (her phone line finally resurrected after Dennis) and talked to her for 40 minutes! :-D They're fine, just a couple trees down. Which is beyond good.
The BORGHARDTS are coming over Thursday for supper!! :-D That'll be fuuuun. :-D Rachel, you should be warned: Pr. Borghardt heard about your singleness and how everybody's trying to set you up *innocent look*, and now he wants to set you up with the youth leader at Zion (in Tomball, Texas), Landon Reed. ;-) Landon's really nice though, 25, cute, Texan... ;-) Okay, I'll stop now. *giggles*
So tomorrow I'm going to clean my room! I'm also gonna move some posters around and semi-redecorate. I need to find a place for all my bunnies... I collect Boyd's Bears & Friends rabbits, and after I changed my room around and got a new comp desk most of them got displaced. So they're all sitting on my radio and they can't stay there.
Eeee... I also need to watch Into the West! We recorded it, as usual... I love that show!
Okies, time to pay more attention to the chat... which, surprisingly enough, is still going! Gasp. Pants and socks! :-D
"Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend", she said
LOOK LYNEA'S POSTING OMG EVERYBODY FREAK OUT NOW.
And you can hear it in my whispered cries for love
I need your blissful touch to carry me away again
So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just...
Run away, run away tonight
It ain't no victory, but I don't care,
I don't care if it's wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It ain't no victory but I don't care,
I don't care if it's wrong or right
:-D
Sorry for the hiatus, y'all. ;-) So um... I changed the template... it miiight be temporary because I'm severely tempted to learn CSS and mess with the layout myself. But we'll see how that goes. At the moment I have absolutely no desire to relate my life of the past several months, so perhaps I shall do that tomorrow. ;-P
But. :-D *BOUNCES AROUND ECSTATICALLY* I GET TO GO TO JONES HALL. AND SEE A SYMPHONY. Specifically - my once-in-a-lifetime-chance to see the LORD OF THE RINGS SYMPHONY. I cannot BEGIN to describe how absolutely THRILLED I am. I begged and pleaded both my parents to go with me, but neither one is exactly a symphomaniac (haha). But then mom had the idea to ask Grandma! And Grandma said she'd go! :-D AHHHH.
Okay. I'm calm... really...
OH YEAH! AND IT'S RAINING! Praise the Lord! I love rain soso much... plus we're in a shtoopid drought. Pfft. BUT, it's raining and thundering and yay. :-D My mom got the van washed yesterday. I told her it'd rain today. And it did! Hehe... thank God for costal showers...
