it's roughly two o'clock in the morning.  i have to wake up in about four hours from now to shower and finish some packing for the camping trip i'm going on with jon, cory, zack, and shannon.  we don't really have any idea where we're going or what we're doing, but i'm thrilled about how liberating tomorrow and tuesday will be.  it could ( Read more... )

i applied to tech, mtsu, and utc this week.  i filled out my senior directory today during second block.  i just finished working on the page that has my senior ad on it.  and it's all just weird ( Read more... )

though this is a completely random statement, and it's completely unrelated to everything, i feel the need to share:  as i was driving home i noticed that the grasshopper that jumped onto the hood of my truck in the parking lot was still there.  once i noticed it, i couldn't stop paying attention to it.  that little thing was quite the trooper, he ( Read more... )

for some reason, when i do random tasks for ms. pruett, i often move about quite fast.  i'm never really in a hurry, i always have plenty of time, and even if i didn't get everything done, it wouldn't be an issue.  ms. pruett just appreciates the fact that she has an aide to help her with such tedious tasks that she doesn't want to have to do, so ( Read more... )

i feel like i'm being judged too quickly, and too inaccurately.  most of it is just teasing, which is completely understandable, because i tease myself about this more than anyone else does.  there's just something about his shyness that is so utterly endearing ( Read more... )

here i am, grounded as fuck, trying to find anything to occupy my time.   i spent a lot of time at the school the past few days, working on yearbook things.  i got a lot done, which will be extraordinarily helpful once school starts.  i knocked out a huge chunk of the workload.  so, i come home today, with nothing planned to do.  i clean up my room ( Read more... )

i'm so happy these days ( Read more... )

i love how everything is right now.  it's so far from perfect, but i'm not in any way striving for perfection in my life.  the only thing i was concerned about is now at rest.  if only i had you at my side to tell me that it would have been all right either way, then it would have been significantly less stressful.  not only that, but how hard it ( Read more... )

i'm in the middle of painting something.  it's turning out much better than i thought it would, but i'm still not satisfied.  i'm at the point where my plan is finished, but it's just not right yet.  i want for it to be something you keep forever.  it seems so lackluster to me right now, though, and i don't want that at all.  it has to be perfect ( Read more... )
