Due to my long absence, I thought it would be appropriate to open up the new season of Krista Hardy's live journal with a tribute to graduation. With the end of the oppressive reign of Coppell High School, I'm sure many can relate. This is for you ( Read more... )

As we cruised blissfully down the road, no woe troubled our minds. It was a beautiful day. It was a beautiful day for laughing, a beautiful day for crying, a beautiful day for breathing in the sweet, sweet air and feeling alive for once... And then it hit ( Read more... )

They wait just under the surface. There are millions of them waiting. And while they wait, they become stronger, mutating. They bide their time until the rains flood the dry earth and the sun warms the air. Then they emerge.

So today started out boring... and weird. I knocked my camera off of my bed, and it made this huge crash sound. Yeah, scared the crap out of me... wonderful way to wake up, huh? It's hard getting used to having my grandma around again. I forget that she has to know everything that's going on with me all the time. Like when I tried to put the pepper ( Read more... )

Oh yeah... so music camp was a total blast. I made a lot of great friends there, and I got to perform mucho. For those of you who dont know about it, the camp was called Music in the Mountains, and we stayed in the Fort Lewis College dormitories of Durango, Colorado for 3 weeks to hone our music skills. Our activities included: making fun of our ( Read more... )
