I haven't been sleeping well lately ( Read more... )

home is where my heart

is not, somewhere among everything familiar that I can’t quite

and burning where maybe others have

souls instead I pile books not

What would you do if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ear and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

I look at you all

Still my guitar gently weeps...

Don't make it bad
Take a sad song
And make it better...

Come together

So, I got home from Girls' State at like 1:30 Saturday night/Sunday morning.  It was so incredible.  But I am lazy...so you all get the bulleted version.

• I had to start my first meeting fifteen minutes late, then I had a girl show up late Sunday night.  I also had a girl show up late on Monday afternoon.  I wasn't thrilled--it didn't seem like a ( Read more... )

I should be asleep right now, because I worked 12 hours today and I leave for GS in the morning and I'm not going to sleep next week because it's Girls' State and sleep is never on the schedule.

But I am way too excited to sleep.

Expect the usual, really excited post-GS update when I get back next Sunday...and I'll be a year older then, too!
