Good day overall save for a almost crippling headache for a large portion of the school day. Finally went away a bit before school ended. Left after school, dropped Caleb off at home, picked up Alex's book, dropped it off at the library, picked Alex and Kyle up, dropped Kyle off, dropped Alex off at the library, picked Andrew up, dropped Andrew off, dropped Hair Salon Shop application off. Then headed over to Sweet Spirit to chat with Caitlin who was on break. Very fun time. Filled out an application there too. Ugh... starting to get discouraged. >_< Then started to head home to get dinner before remember it was Tuesday and had Drama Improv. Went to church. We all lagged tonight, but even in our slowness, we were pretty funny. Not amazing, but even if we're all dead tired come Feb 13, we'll still get some laughs. =) Then finally went home and got ready for school tomorrow.

God, please help our country. Oh, it is in such need right now. Strong leadership, active decision makers, and doing rather than talking.
Today was again good. Again had another headache. Got it in 2nd. Probably Ms. Johnson's fault. XD Got Jafar for Aladdin, so I get to grow out a really long bead. Joy... XD Anyway, drama club was fantastic. Got to do a Simon Cowell impression as we had a panel of four "judges" for the monologues people read. They get better each week! So impressive. *sniff* So proud of all of them! =D Went to Miranda's youth group. Fun. Barely pulled off 41 pushups to top Warrens 40, but I had to rest a time or two for a few seconds and he didn't really... well, maybe once. One day, that 100 number will happen. ;) NEED to get a new profile picture of Miranda and I... hm... Also, Sundae is really pushing me playing Jesus for their Easter play, meaning I get to really grow my hair out and grow a beard. Which means I REALLY need to get my Senior pictures done. Like... Friday. XD Uuuuurgh. Well, God will provide. Provide me a spanking so I get my booty moving. >_<
=P
Rather than a poem, I want to share a piece of writing I did a while back when I was feeling down. This in no way reflects my mood tonight, just a more extreme version of a feeling I had a while back.
"Rain waxes and wanes in a slowly increasing beat as the heavens cry on the earthy clay. You lean against the window, breathe slowly coming in and out of your lungs, silent and slow. The pane of glass fogs up, clears slowly, only to fog up again with exhaled air, almost as if to copy the falling water pounding on the other side of the diamond wall. Pitter, patter, pitter, patter, pitter, patter, it goes on and on, ever repeating. Tired eyes trace the gray trees, gray year, and empty gray driveway. Head seems so full, and yet so lacking in its empty hollowness. Behind the eyes rests an inescapable pressure, building, shrinking, building shrinking.
Hope it didn't bring too many tears. =D
Heading to bed. Night!

so who was on the phone? or was that an alarm clock?
ReplyDeletei am so proud that you were cast as jafar! i so want to try and come to the play! you are going to be great!
i love that you are journaling everyday. tonight, as i read your blog i was thinking about how my husband nate kept a journal through college. i love it when he reads to me the parts of how he perceived me and our friendship and then dating relationship. please keep a journal when you get older. listening to nate read his journal is one of my all-time favorite activities.
I wanted to leave who was on the phone up to the reader. Depending on their personal experiences, they could see it as hopeful, the right person calling. Or just another wrong number. I dunno. Just felt it worked better with an ambiguous ending. ^^ I really love that word... Ambiguous. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI do keep what I call a diary since I see this as a journal. And haha, maybe one day I'll read it aloud. At the moment, there's so much that's WAY to personal to share. XD I think only one person has ever read something out of it besides myself and that was Jeff because I gave him a page to read. But yeah, it's a good way to get emotions out. I see it almost as a prayer and talking about certain things and areas. Trying to keep updated, but doing this and that is really time consuming so I've only written in it once since New Years. Hmmm...
