words of wisdom*


There is this wall in my bedroom, the wall that my bedroom door is on, and above my door is a space, about a foot high (to the ceiling) and comes out about five or six inches.
Anyways, on this wall, I have a bunch of quotes. Quotes that, if everyone lived by, the world would be a much better place.
Some of them are just quotes from songs, and there's only a couple so far.. but I just love them, and I haven't looked at them in a while, but seeing them today, made me want to share them with you.

"We may not have it all together, but together we have it all."
-is a quote that I memorized once at John Waller's old house in Fayette City. He had a picture on his wall that said that, with pictures of Amelia and the baby. Me and Jenevieve read it once, and I just remembered it, and added it to my wall.

"Actions speak louder than words."
-is an old, but a good one. You can say you're going to change for the better, you can say it a million times, but it doesn't matter how much you say it, if you never act upon it.

"There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that play hopscotch and sing in the shower, and those that lie alone at night with tears in their eyes."
-is a quote from one of my "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Journal" books. I love this quote. It's so sad.. but it can be so cute. It is supposed to give you a greater outlook on life. You don't want to be the one that lies alone at night, so make the most of every moment. Play hopscotch and sing in the shower!

"If you have love, you don't need anything else, and if you don't have love, it doesn't matter what else you have."
-I think I stole this quote from Jena, actually. But wherever I got it, I added it to my wall, because.. I like it. You haven't lived until you loved.

"My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me, so won't you kill me, so I die happy?"
-I so stole that from Hands Down, but I love that line.

"A person can live a month off a compliment."
-Another one from my Chicken Soup Journal. It just is proving the point that a compliment can go a long way, and that's true. People really do remember compliments. It can turn someone's day from being a bad day to a good day. Just imagine if it were the other way around. Picture this: You are having the worst day ever. You woke up late, didn't have time for a shower, had to throw on any old outfit. Your hair is an absolute wreck, you woke up to find you broke out over night and nothing will cover it. You are dropping everything, you're wearing two different socks. Ugh, it's just, one of those hasty mornings. You get to school, only to find out you have a test in like, every class, and you were prepared for like one. You are trying to get everything together and notice that, in your rush to get to school without being late (which, I might add, you were late anyways, because there was that one rrrreally slow car in front of you that you just couldn't pass because you never had the right opportunity), you forgot your homework.
Yuck. An awful day so far, right? Then.. someone you pass in the hall, someone you don't even associate with, not because either of you dislike the other, but just simply because your paths have never crossed, stops you to tell you that the eyeshadow you're wearing looks SO nice today.
You say thank-you, of course, but then all day, you're just thinking, "wow.. i didn't even spend 5 mintues on this make-up.. in fact, i did it on the way to school...," and you just feel that much better.

...Well, that's all for now.. I'll add some more in next time, I just wanted to throw in an update.

That was more of a section fo quotes than an update, so if you want your update, here it is:

School was school today. First period we finished watching off Finding Nemo. (that ending was exhilerating!)
Third period me, Covol, Jenna Gira, and Ludwick all sat around sharing memories, while Vicky and Julie Lacey listened and laughed along with us. We were all having a good ol' time, and we sure were laughing.
Seventh period~art II, I just decided what I was going to do for my letter R, and I drew some vines around it, some thorns on it, and I am maknig these corner things with roses on them and vine type thing to tie in with the letter.
Eighth period~I went down to the nurses to get my finger bandaged up and cleaned and some cough drops.

After school I went to Cody's. We were up in his room and his mom was downstairs yelling at us, we couldn't even hear what she was saying, but when he went downstairs I heard her yell at him, and when he came back up, I asked him what he said, and he said she was like, "if you guys are gonna screw go in the woods! i don't want that shit in my house!"
We took Cody to work, and since he lied and said that she was going to the mall (the reason he asked me over was so I can go to the mall with her), when we dropped him off, she asked me if I was going home.. hey, I thought we were going to the mall? I was all confused, and she told me she had no idea she was ever going to the mall.
So.. she took me home, that means, my homework is at Cody's house, and since this is all his fault, he's doing it for me... even though he doesn't know how to do Accounting.

I went home, and then at 5:15, my mom took me tanning. We went to get Subway, I came home ate it, and then sat here.

I really have to take a break from all the eating, I'm getting really fat. I don't even do exercises anymore. I'm going to be a monster over the winter, I know it.

Anyways, that's about it.. I think I'm going to go call Cody and yell at him, because since he got off work at 7:00, I think, being it's 10 after 8, that it is time for me to call him and yell at him for making me look like an idiot when was all confused in front of his mom when she said she never even had plans to go to the mall.
