I believe- that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I believe- that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I believe- that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I believe- that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I believe- that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I believe- that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I believe- that you can keep going long after you can't.

I believe- that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I believe- that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe- that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

I believe- that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I believe- that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe- that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I believe- that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe- that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe- that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I believe- that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe- that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe- that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe- that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe- that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I believe- that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

I believe- that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I believe- that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe- that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

I believe- that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

I believe- that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I believe- That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in.

I just did.

Kristen is a piggy!

I made icing today for my cupcakes since I figured I wasn't ever gonna get to the store to buy some. It's the reeeeaaaaally addicting icing with vanilla flavoring. So yummy! Thusly I've been eating a lot. ^.~

Hmm...what else is new. Finally joined facebook! It's pretty cool. And yeah, soon I assume I'll join the mob of people tackling other people to join.
So far I've been poked to join (beforehand and by those who didn't know) by: Leah (she won!), Amanda, Lauren, Tom, and Sam

I need to find a picture now...

This week is the doctor visit week. Today I had to get up eeeaaaarly and went to the eye doctor. Went better than usual, my eyesight is only a fraction worse and the bumps that've been under my eyelids for years have mildly improved.
Finally asked what my eyesight was against the '20/20' scale.
She said mine is less than 20/400.
Legally blind without correctional help - been that way for a while.
I can't even see the big E. ^^""

It's pretty sad and rather disheartening. Good times.

Tomorrow I get to go to the dermatologist. My skin's been...better.....but eh.

Wednesday is a shot. Ow. :'(

AND Mom told me that the way the allergy shots are setup wasn't how dad and I had thought....that was just how it fit in with school. Actually I can go any day of the week, they just close earlier on Monday and Wednesday. Isn't that great? Now there's no reason for me not to get 6 shots a week! Yay! *dies*

I hear Madagascar is a cool movie. There are so many on my list now. Hmm, I need to see Hitchhiker's Guide still. And Mr. and Mrs. Smith. And War of the Worlds.

I saw The Longest Yard. The funniest movie in a long while! Definitely a good one to see.

With love..

How many people,
Are going to have to die?
Before I forget you?

Why has every day,
Been almost exactly the same?
Will I forget you?

The final word for this year's National Spelling Bee was appoggiatura. For those who don't know music theory, it's a type of nonharmonic tone going from one harmonic tone to a nonharmonic one step above the next harmonic tone. I think it's kinda cool that I both knew how to spell the word, and that when I was watching the news with a few people I could explain what it meant before the lady on TV read off her little card saying what it meant. Go me!

All you do is bring me down, and wait for me to fall
Get back up for one more shot but it's over, it's over

First week of no school. And I went to school. Took Katie so she could help the teachers pack. And I passed around the thank you cards.

I'm enjoying my summer. Not as eventful as I'd like, but the rest is amazing. And the lack of stress. However I've been reminded of an aspect of summer I've forgotten over the year: the lack of food. I have breakfast. That's about it. Usually junk or such through the day and late at night to cover me. No lunch. No dinner. I was wondering today if my parents even ate something. I don't remember it becoming a fend-for-yourself you'll-never-know-if-there-was-food type evening.

At least I got myself a tub of Coldstone's icecream.

What else is new? Events I guess. I've been told it's because they think I'm hiding something? Who isn't? I'm glad people can see the pain and trouble involved in talking, can recognize the advancements made, can forgive for whateverthehelltransgression they're holding against. It gives me hope for the people in the world and the future of humankind to know that generosity and understanding are abound in the youth.
Tell me you've never hidden something from me. Tell me you've given me reason to trust you. Tell me I made a huge offense to you that is completely unforgivable. And then tell me what that offense is so I can finally comprehend why I'm being punished.

I really like The Killers. And Anberlin. I think they're my two favorite bands for the month.

with love

I will. Believe me I will.
I'm bored. Neopets is down and I can't find something else to hold my attention. Hmm...maybe I'll go read...

Excpet that we left my book in the auditorium after the awards ceremony. -.-;; Oops. The Life of Pi. Good stuff.

I feel very senior-ish. It's scary. And weird. I came back on campus Tuesday and it was like I didn't belong. Which I didn't, and the soldiers at the gate didn't make it any friendlier, but still.

I walked around the campus like I owned it, which I did given the senior right. Every place I glanced at a memory hit me. I sat and talked with my teachers. Spent minutes just hanging out in places, no place to go. I sauntered down the halls after the bell had rung. I passed the APs without a care in the world. I hugged the nurses. I chatted with Ms. Kelly about her leaving with us.

I went back to the band room and just walked in, middle of class. I passed the snares with a smile and went for my basses. I fed them doughnuts, like I'd fed everyone else who crossed my path. I played Singles with them and gave them encouragements and said a prayer. I hung out with Cameron and Austin and helped them plan the stuff. They asked when I'd be back.

I looked around the campus....and felt like it was completed. I had learned what I was to learn. Accomplished pretty much everything I was supposed to accomplish. Witnessed. Experienced. Felt.

I guess you could call it closure. Not something I usually get.

With love...
