can't read my poker face.
oh well, I feel like I've grown a bit since the last time this has happened to me, but nonetheless, it still sucks. I've been single for a year. It's an either-or thing. It feels good but at the same time lonely in a sense? Mhmm. I feel more productive this way.
Well, I got my license.
Time for those adventures I promised.
Should I just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere?
We should be the change that we want to see.
searching for a leader, but the leader was me.
If you're out there, sing along with me.
I'm dying to believe.
I'f you're out there, stand up and sing with me.
Today, John Legend changed my life.
Won't you come over love, so I can show you love.
Only a month until I get my license, then its going to be like a road trip every weekend.
Screw gas, thats what allowance is for!
I need to catch up with friends in person then rather on the internet as always:P
No one is down to drive any where ever, sooo I just gotta do everythin myselffffff
yargh.
If cupid has a gun, he's shootin
One thing I ask, and it's still too much to ask for.
I have a request.
For once, I would like to be someone's priority
is that asking too much?
I can only just only take so much of being taken advantage of
I do mind, in case you were wondering.
2 days.
She ricochets, you just dont notice.
October is apparently the month where I never have time.
It is approximately a week from my birthday, and things have improved ever so slightly since I last wrote, but I'm getting a bad vibe.
My birthday will be a turning point; It will start to get better
or things will get worse.
Only time will tell.
I hit the main line, Breaking through the night sky.
just dance.
I have too much hope, and set myself up easily for failure.
they say its not my fault
but I know better, i just chose to accept it.
won't speak unless its something worth sayin.
Oh, I want you to know, but then again I dont.
so complicated
i'm so frustrated
i wanna hold you close, i wanna push you awayi wanna make you go....... i wanna make you stay.
should i say it? should i tell you how i feel?
Oh, I want you to know, but then again I dont.
it's so complicated.
Oh, it's so confusing, Yeah, I wish you'd just confess. But think of what I'd be losing, If your answer wasn't yes.
I may have lost my way now
Previous blogs: Taken for granted.
Situation:Friend is mad over nothing, and doesnt care to talk it out
Addtional info: Friend is like a family member to me, and no matter how much shit they say about me or all the times the flake or are just flat out rude to me, I never hold it against them.
Why: Because I'm a good friend, and I dont let trivial situations get in the way.
All I know is, I wish I wasn't right about this.
Life is getting more and more complicated and honestly, I'm questioning the real reason to live nowadays.
NOW dont freak out people, I'm not suicidal, goodness gracious.
I'm just taking steps back and looking at the universal picture and whatnot.
I'm just unmotivated.
keep on keepin on.
Haven't forgot my way home
I got bruises on my knees for you.
WHY is it that I am the key target of taking someone for granted. I swear, if there was a list or something I'm pretty sure I would be at the top of almost everybody's. How can you act like you're having such a good time, then not too long later say something to flush it all into a downward spiral? WHAT makes me not good enough for people? WHAT makes me any different? I've taken so much of this from so many people, but what gives them the right? Apparently, being nice to people, making friends, and doing nothing but good things means that I get everything bad in return. No you say? WELL THAT'S HOW I FEEL. A majority of the time people talk to me it feels like it's more to satisfy their need of eliminating boredom rather then them actually ACTUALLY caring about what I did today. Because I sure as hell care when I ask someone how their day was. Yeah, I'm not the most outgoing person you've ever met in your life, but should people really hold that against me? What have I done to acquire such a title as "You can take her for granted." You know what, you might as well too, because it seems like everyone else doesn't have a problem doing it.
there.
but frozen things, they all unfreeze.

Wouldn't it be nice.
I won't regret saying this, this thing that I'm saying
How do we reverse the chemistry?
take my hands out of control.
I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings.
oh janey dont be hasty.

As the summer fades.
no sunlight, no sunlight.
The wrong piece
I guess this is growing up.
Why would I hitch a ride, I can drive.
you can do better than me.
The space between
I can't let go no I can't let go... holding me back without even trying to.
You can't blame me for trying
Watching my cold dark silhouette disappear
Its not enough just to dream it
Free my mind.
"Ay carumba" teeth
Steady as she goes.

Actions speak louder then words.
Actions speak louder then words.
Actions speak louder then words.
Just trying to cement that in my mind before I forget it too quickly.
Crossroads.
Anyways, back on the road tomorrow. Vacation #2 to Las Vegas, Nevada....for the 3rd time this year? or the 2nd? I dont remember, one of many thats for sure. The more recent times we've been going have been taking a toll on me though. My Grandpa has been fighting cancer for quite sometime now. You can tell because he's becomes more weak everytime we visit, and it's a scary thought to think that one of these boring trips to Vegas might be the last time I'll see my Grandfather.
I'll admit, I am afraid of one thing, and that is Death. It is something that constantly crosses my mind. What will it be like when I die? Will anyone attend my funeral? Will anyone even miss me? I cant focus right now
this is poorly written, I'll fix it later
Vegas, here I come.
Without lifting a finger.
sorry so short.
i'm sick.
My heart longs to sing - Steubenville West 2008
The weekend began a little shakey. First off we we're headed on our way to Arizona at around 7am. At about 8-8:20 am, 2 of the wheels from our bus roll right out from underneath, which ended up setting us back more then 2 hours. The second bus arrived(which ended up being a party bus with a stripper pole included hahaha) and we were back on our way. I believe the trip lasted about 14 hours. The time of arrival was a good portion of time already into the first nights events. This night was the night to give you that push to begin to open your heart to him, but since the girls missed that, we approached the next day differently and a little discouraged. Looking back on it now, missing the first night wasn't as big of a let down as I believed it to be. I believe that if I went to adoration that night I wouldn't have approached it like I did the 2nd night. More then anything I didnt feel like I was even prepared for Friday night, so I used that time to prepare for what lay ahead on Saturday. In the meantime, Friday was used for our first "Girl Talk" which made up for the event that had happend previously in the day. Totally worth only getting 3 hours of sleep for.
GOOD MORNING TUCSON ARIZONA!THIS MORNING AT 7AM WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL 85 DEGREES!Saturday started off with praise and worship with none other then MATT MAHER my future husband. Man can he sing. Continued the morning with Mass then women's session which blew my mind. I've never had such a signifcant sex talk in my entire life. It changed my whole outlook on my life and how I'm going to go about things involving relationships in the future. WOW. Still can remember it all. So all the females finished up and headed to lunch where we all decided what to do for the remaining time before the night session. BOOKSTORE&ENTERTAINMENT. Bought a MATT MAHER shirt and went over for the Roman Collar Comedy thing, which was funny, but put me to sleep. We all went our seperate ways from there, Kev, Andrew, and I went to Family&Marriage. The first session which was family didnt really hit me that much, I tried to relate but at the same time we were late to the session so I must of missed something. Then we headed over to the Marriage session. WOW again. I liked that one alot. I've never seen to indiviudals so in love with each other and in love with Christ. Seeing them gave me so much motivation for my future. I have higher goals for myself and I'm really glad we went to that session.(Ephesians 5:25-27) AMEN.
6:30 pm and again 85 degrees outside.We made our way back to the main auditorium for the night session. More praise&worship! :D Matt Maher=] Then we had a speaker before we went into adoration, and I hate to say this, but I fell asleep while he was talking. I really regret all the sleeping I did during the speeches over the weekend but i was running on 3 hours of sleep each day. I payed as much attention as I could and retained most of what I caught before I fell asleep. After that we went into sort of a pre-adoration thing. Everyone went around hugging each other and showing their appreciation towards one another. THIS is where I saw God. I didn't see him in the Eucharist as much as I saw him around me inside of each and every person in that room. Being prayed for by the chaperones or just opening up to my peers, That in itself is where I saw God, and that was the turning point for the weekend. Adoration was Silent. At first I was kind of confused, normally when we do Adoration we have music going on and everyone is crying and a big emotional sea of feelings comes pouring out of everybody. Not tonight. Tonight was silent. As we got into I started to appreciate the silence more. I wasn't crying, or thinking hysterically for what words to say, but I was actually having a conversationg with God. The silence was calming in its own way, I felt like there was more time to gather my thoughts and even though some people enjoy how we normally go about Adoration, I found this way much more sufficient. Only thing I would change is less time. I was done a good 20 minutes before we finished the night session, but all in all I wouldnt trade it for anything.The night session ended with photos and distrubution of the Steubenville soundtrack. Ladies headed back to the dorm for GIRL TALK. Girl Talk, how do I explain this. I am very thankful that we all came up with the idea to have it. Taking turns to get to know one another. I feel like I can trust all the girls in GL more then I ever could have before and it was all thanks to the Girl Talk =] NEXT TIME WE NEED TO INVITE JILL AND KIRSTEN!
Woke up, showered, packed, and headed to breakfast by 6:30am.more eggs, more golden grahams.Right after breakfast we broke into Mens and Womens sessions.This one kind of disappointed me, don't get me wrong, it was still a very good talk, but I didnt feel as moved as I had the previous day, but all in all it was still a very good talk. The boys met us in the Auditorium for the finals events of the conference. Then, MATT MAHER again. Never gets old. Then the first mass I've ever been excited to attend. That was the most uplifiting and spiritual mass I've been too. Before we started, someone had said "Act like this is the last Mass you will ever go to." So I had that mind frama going into it and it was beautiful. We had an amazing priest. He kept things alive and not boring, I was really interested in what he had to say. A great way to finish out the conference. My blessings are also with Paula, Mike, Rogue, and Steve, the members of our youth group who are considering following Christ by becoming Sisters, Deacons, or even Priests. Way to go guys! We left the auditorium, grabbed our sack lunches then GL HAS LEFT THE BUILDING. Headed on our way home back to California, which surprisingly took HALF the time to get home then to get there >.<
Sleep, Gin, and Sharing as our bus ride came to an end.I didn't get to say everything I would have liked to while sharing, but I just wanted to thank everyone again.The chaperones, GL, and Liwanag. This weekend really opened my heart as well as my mind and I am so grateful that I got to share the experience with all of you, so thank you all again from the bottom of my heart.
Irreplaceable, unrepeatable, and unique
Saving his greatest creative act for last, God crowned creation with the beauty of femininity. A womans dignity is unspeakably profound, her beauty unparalled. What a remarkable gift that God would come to man through a woman. As a daughter of the king, I pledge to live my life in a way that wil guard my dignity, my purity, and my beauty. Bringing honor to both God and myself now and in the future vocation to which he calls me.
Day of fasting
I'm like a book elegantly bound, in a language that you cant read
I sound crazy, this is complicated. I cant even read myself.
Using flowers to brush the dirt off yo' shoulder
They say I'm crazy, nah I'm Janey
You gotta spend some time, love.
On a better note, I love company. I guess I realized being around other people makes me the happiest I can be. When your going on adventures, eating random food, looking for random items in a dollar store, shopping for 3 hours straight, or just staying home doing nothing all day. This summer is turning out better then I expected it to. The thing is I know next summer everything is going to change. The real world is starting to creep up on me, and it's gonna be a culture-shock for sure. A wise man told me, to sum it up, fear denies faith. Funny how a little reality check can change your whole frame of mind. So bring it on future. Think you scare me? Think again honey.
