I will now tell you the story of my yesterday. I liked it very much.
It started with a music competition in the morning, at Missouri Baptist university. It all went pretty good. But my mom/director forgot all of her scores for jazz band, and didn't realize it till a few minutes before we were suppose to warm up to be on stage, and I had to go back and retrieve her bag. so I did, but when I got back and gave it to her, it turned out that they weren't in there anyway.but it all worked out in the end, and all of our groups that competed did really well. Orchestra got a 1+ and jazz band got 1-, which is still pretty good.

So some time between preforming and running around looking for scores, I found Becca! actually, Becca found us. Because she goes to Mo-Bap, and had classes and all. so she watched us preform, and then after we were done, me, her, our mothers and Nog all went to lunch (at a "bistro-like" subway, were we bayed the O-rule).
Then we went and watched choir and God's Glory preform, and they both did great. And I did not know that Emily had a solo, but it was beautiful.

So then me and Becca left, and went to my house, and talked for a while, and then Amie woke up, and then we all went to diner, and then Amie had something to do at her church, so me and Becca rented "The Eye" and it was ok. It wasn't the best, or the worst, and we did origami. (But we are not very good at it)

Also, I didn't go to dare 2 share. I kind of feel bad for not going, cause people thought I should, but in the end I don't regret my decision to stay home. And while were on the topic, the bible study that Amie leads is thinking about doing street evangelism sometime, down in the loop, and I think that I would like to help them.

THE END

Foot note: Sarah is coming back from North Carolina today, I think, And I am happy.

Hey!...Life.

When I was younger I thought my life didn't really start till I was on my own. Till I went to college. That's what I was always looking forward to. and now here I am, getting ready to graduate. It's odd...That's all I can say about it. of course I know now that my life has been going on (sometimes without me even knowing it.) for seventeen years now.
But the thought of being grown up still just doesn't seem quite right.

These last few days and week have been really happy. I know happy doesn't last. but I think it will for a little while, and the joy won't go. That's a bit of comfort.

So here's to a summer or fun, and then whatever comes after that.

Prom Ducks.

I really like today.
Church was normal, which is good. After church, I went to Lunch with Jessica, Anna, Julia, Kelli, and Cody. It was pretty awesome if I do say so myself.(and I do.) I liked the part when Anna accidental said, that Prom cost 20-something "duck" instead of "Bucks". Then an long Discussion ensued about what that would mean. My story was that there would be this tradition were all the senior have to bring a live duck to prom, and then their duck would mate with their dates duck, and they would give the egg(s) to a Junior, and they would raise it for a year, until there senior prom. And also, at graduation, instead of throwing your caps in the air, you set your duck free. The speed and grace of your duck determines how well you do in the future.
somehow, the duck conversation became one about the cruel nature of man. (?)

After lunch, me, Kelli, and Jessica, went to the Martin's and watched Australia. I love it. it was the most emotional movie I have seen in my life. Anna, Jessica, and me were the only ones that stayed through the whole thing. We huddled together a few times out of sheer terror! Yes, it was that intense.

and that's the end. sort of, anyway. The day is not over, but I'm assuming that the rest of it will be rather uneventful.
Goodbye.

umm...this is just my thoughts. Not so exiting.

OK, so... It seem like I have not seen my friend in a while. I did, though. I just haven't spent time with them and that makes me sad. So dose any one want to do something?...because I do! I am also sad that this Idea that Ian had for the dinner/ Communion/ thing didn't work this week, because that would be pretty Ideal now. Maybe it's just me , but it seems that nobody is really exited about the whole idea, which quite frankly, I think is dumb. Because it's a god idea, and I want it to work.

On another note, I think I'm going to write a book soon. I somewhat doubt my writing skills, but I have a good idea, and I suppose it's worth a try.

Anyway, those are my thoughts for today. They are very far from being profound, and for that I apologize. I hope I can talk to you guys soon, and not just over blog, or other Internet sources. Because that is not really talking.

A bunch of randomness that might not be interesting

I have a few things to say. first off, I just got back from the lake. there were a bunch of people there, and for once, didn't mind them being there. I kind of liked it...but I don't know why.
Second, I am kind of obsessed with this song. I love it allot, but I'm afraid that I will get sick of it if I listen to it to much more...but I want to. (it's called A twist in my story by second hand serenade.)
also, I like my friend ALLOT. And I really hope that they all know that.
I forgot to put this on the list of the things I love, but I love white trees.
also, today is Amie's birthday.Shes turning old. It's weird. I recently found out that Sarah (my sister) has a blog. so I started following her. But when I went to read some of her posts, there wasn't a single one. it was a bit disappointing. and Speaking of Sarah, I am glad that she is moving back to St. Louis soon, because I like her.
I might live with Becca this fall, if I'm not living at whatever college I end up at.

Funny thing that happened today: I was going to the lake, and I was about a block or two from my house, and who should suddenly appear, seemingly out of nowhere, but Catarina the 13 year old cat.

I am pretty exited about my next photography assignment. And I need help with it. So if you want to be in some of my pictures, and want to come to a park with me some time soon, then that would be cool.

I recently rediscovered how much I love fairy tails. I read a bunch of them today.

this is the last thing; I feel kind of silly for posting almost every day. Especially when you guys (the ones that I follow that is, which is most of you) WON'T POST THINGS.but don't feel bad. it just means that unlike me, you guy have lives.

FINE.

Hear it comes...what?

The flowers in the front yard bloomed today. I know it was today. there have only been two warm days this year, and their up. Almost like they were waiting just below the surface, waiting for a bit of warmth to tell it that it's OK to come out now. When I think of them like that, I can almost feel their anticipation. I want it as much as they do. Do flowers want?

I played guitar allot today, even though I'm not that good.

I don't know about thing lately. They are so happy. They are good. But they are changing. I don't know if I'm afraid of this change yet. But I am taken off guard at it's lack of subtleties.
I suppose that there is really nothing that I can do to stop, and like I said, things are good, and only seem to be getting better. So I don't need to stop the change from coming...not like I could anyway.

And that is that.

Childhood windows

I think today was a window into my past. ( if days can be windows) Becca came over. We went to the park and swung. then we came home, played with sidewalk chalk, and climbed trees.
For a moment, it was my childhood. as I traced my led onto my driveway, and the sound of Becca laughing with piano music coming from in side...

I can't really find words for today. So instead hear is a poem. by Rilke. He is my favorite without a doubt.


Childhood

It would be good to give much thought, before you try to find words for something so lost,for those long childhood afternoons you knew that vanished so completely -and why?

We're still reminded-: sometimes by a rain,but we can no longer say what it means;life was never again so filled with meeting,with reunion and with passing

on as back then, when nothing happened to us except what happens to things and creatures:we lived their world as something human,and became filled to the brim with figures.And became as lonely as a Shepherd

and as overburdened by vast distances,and summoned and stirred as from far away,and slowly, like a long new thread,introduced into that picture-sequence where now having to go on bewilders us. Rainer Maria Rilke

Its's gone...

...That post I had that was kind of emo, that is.
it's gone, and I'll tell you why. Because it was true, but it was an over reaction. I don't like those, and had no right to post it. it just made it sound like I was depressed, and I'm not. I'm sorry if you guys thought I was. I actually talked to my mom about it, which is rare. That helped, and so did God.

So that's about all. sorry again.
