| It'd be so much easier if I updated with my daily life, but then again "I did schoolwork...and went to work...and then did something else..." would get quite boring right? So instead I opt to update every so often with random (pointless) thoughts such as my current paranoia. Somewhere I read that you are more likely to die from your appendix bursting than from al-qaeda. Now instead of calming my (non-exsistent) fears about al-qaeda, it instilled intense fear into me about my own body. That's why I shouldn't watch the news. Which I have been doing a lot of lately. On the same note (terrorism), everyone needs to get over bill clintons outburst. Everyone's entitled to their own angsty days (even horny stupid liberals). You can't have too many of these angsty whiny days though because that just gets annoying. It seems as though everyone is having way too many lately. Here's a little advice for all of you suffering from the "pity-me" syndrome...get over yourself and SMILE! It's not that hard and it makes life a lot better. Trust me babes. =)
Random things on my mind:
+Brett Dennen is amazing. He's a mix of paul simon & dylan - you should listen to him!
+Fall is the best season.
+I should probably get more sleep.
+I need to get a new job this week....
+I've decided what I want to do with my life - Mood:thankful

| Wow, it's been a while since I've updated this thing. Nothing exciting has happened really. Life is pretty good although...I feel like I'm now living for something in the future that I can see, but will not be able to reach for a very long time. It's hard. There comes a point when the wanting gets really old and you can't wait for the having to begin. It's a shame I don't know exactly what it is that I want, but I do know that it's not this. So, having is pretty much impossible at this point. It's good depending on how you look at it. If you are completely happy and content and sixteen then what do you have to strive or hope for? Maybe the not having now will make the having later on that much better! My optimism is coming back to me! I'm still frustrated though. I dont know what it is exactly...maybe myself? That's good because I can fix that. However, I cannot fix the situation that may or may not be bugging me. You will never know what that situation is because it's stupid. Oh well, I'll just learn to deal. It's alright to be unhappy sometimes though, right? It seems as though I'm always happy or maybe tricked (by myself) into thinking I'm happy. I just need to remind myself it's alright to feel. Yep. On another (random) note...I love kids (not the bratty kind)- but when they are cute and stuff like this!

| School started today. Mind you, I am only taking one class, but it still feels like...going back to school. That doesn't really make much sense written, but it my head its perfect so you'll just have to deal with it. Anyways, a lot has been going on, yet nothing at the same time. Again...that made sense in my head. I give up so I'll post this "interview"...=)
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
Questions from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=88.8) muffyinmadras
1. What is your favorite book? Why?
My favorite book so far would have to be Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom. It's simple yet remarkably beautiful. I read it each time I feel myself losing sight of what really matters. It reminds you of what life is really about.
2. Where is the first place you drove when you got your license? (if you haven't gone anywhere, where will the first place be?)
Sadly, the first place I drove was to the car wash. What can I say...I like clean things?
3. Would you rather have a mullet or a rat's tail?
A rats tail...simply because I could tuck it into my shirt and pretend it didn't exsist. Lame answer...but what logic! Man oh man.
4. What is your favorite scent?
I'm not good at picking favorites - actually horrible because my mind changes constantly, but a few would have to be laundry detergent, apple cinnamon candles (they remind me of christmas), rain on pavement in the spring & boys...
5. You 24 hours free and can do anything in the world (money is no object, but you only have 24 hours). What do you do?
I would get a globe, close my eyes, place my finger on it and spin and wherever my finger ended up would be the place I would by a plane ticket to. I would then spend the day meeting new people, seeing new things, doing new things, reading, and having fun with whoever I brought along.

| I lied in my last entry. It wasn't actually a fact that I was going to fail. It was more of an educated guess and guesses are only right approximately 50% of the time. Mine, luckily, was not right. I passed my driving test! To be completely honest, I shouldn't have. He probably just passed because I wimpered like a little girl and he was extremely nice.
This is a bit off topic, but who declared that you must be in a relationship to be blissfully happy and why did they have to drug me into believing that notion? It's a lie that you have to be in love to feel completely whole. I think. I wouldn't know though. That's only a guess...and if we look to the past it will show that my guesses are often incorrect. In this case I hope my guess is right. Maybe I've been listening to too much Snow Patrol. Why do their guitar lines have to be so haunting & addicting? Plus they're Irish - I'm screwed. The disgustingly sappy lyrics get into your head and make you feel lonely...for instance "Chasing Cars" (extreme sappiness is underlined for your convenience):
I don't quite know
how to say
how I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes,
they're all I can see
All I can say is...EW! (Um..kidding?) I want that kind of love, but I can't admit it. Oh wait...I just did. Darn. Oh well, I doubt anyone really reads this anways...
My jaw is still sore. Should it still be sore? Oh well. Yay for vicodin!
Reminders for self:
+ Go to secretary of state (get license - yay)
+ Mr.Heim it up and pick up schedule
+ Clean Clean Clean
+ Pack
+ Leave for mini-vaca with family!

| This morning I woke up to the sound of my mother freaking out on the phone. I get up and come into the livingroom as she says "You'll never believe what happened". She's shaking so I'm assuming someones..dead, maybe? I, of course, start panicking until she tells me what happened. That's when I burst out into laughter. It turns out that, this morning, when my father went to get something out of my mothers car he found something a bit odd on the floor. What could this odd thing be, you ask?
...It was a MAN! There was a drunk dude passed out in the back seat of my moms car!
It made my day. However, I do feel bad saying that because it obviously did not make my fathers. It actually "scared the hell out of him". Haha.
Here's a life lesson kids: Lock your doors!
In other news, I've quit facebook! It's pointless & counterproductive. So much valuable time is wasted on it...so I've stopped using it. Oh dear - now you shall have to rack your brain to find some other way of contacting me. =) - Mood:sleepy

| Yesterday I was reading through some of my old journals and was amazed by how much I have changed. That's when I decided that I should start writing in one again...so in years from now I can look back and laugh at how ridiculous I was (or am).
Now I have to think of something to write about...
Um..I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday! It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Actually, the worst part of it was the pain meds. Ironic, huh? It turns out that I'm allergic to T3, so much so that I ended up passed out on the bathroom floor. I have never experienced such pain, but it does make this whole sore mouth thing a heck of a lot easier. lol.
It almost seems unreal to me that class starts in a little over a week. I've been slacking on my studies this summer, but I've been busy enough to justify it. Actually, I lied. There is no justification. I just got lazy. Lame.
I'm taking choir this year. I can't really sing, but I can fake it pretty well and that's all that matters - right?. It really is better for my mental health though. Orchestra would have driven me insane. No joke.
Well, it's time to go back to icing my chipmunk cheeks. =) - Mood:sore
