Earlier today someone sent me a file over AIM. When I opened the folder that the files automatically download to, I looked at all the things people had given me. I started just browsing through randomly and came across a picture I hadn't seen for quite a while. It's a picture of Lindsay, Ali, and another girl I didn't know. Ali was a girl who ( Read more... )

Someone asked me the other day if I believed ignorance is bliss and if so if I'd want to be left ignorant or know and maybe have to deal with that knowledge. My answer is was yes, ignorance is bliss, but would I take that ignorance over knowledge? Not at all. Although knowledge can hurt sometimes, and can be hard to deal with, I would much ( Read more... )

So Frankie IMed me the other day. I haven't spoken to him in a couple months. He was one of Lindsay's friends that I met last summer in Massachusetts. He's actually a pretty cool guy, we just kinda drifted apart. I really only knew him for about a month, so that really isn't too surprising I guess ( Read more... )

So I performed for Spotlight this last Saturday. Wow. What a feeling. It was amazing. I could hear the crowd clapping to the music and then the applause at the end...indescribable. I've been getting compliments from all my friends the past 3 days and even from people I don't know! We've been practicing 1 and a half to 2 hours a night for over ( Read more... )

I suppose I could write an entry about the war, but I don't know how much I could say that would be anything different then anyone else has already said. Instead I'll talk about another thing that's been on my mind. I came back from spring break and have been spending a lot of time with my friends despite the busy week. Well, actually mostly just ( Read more... )

Another night of drinking Jenga.  I've never had so much fun.  It was awsome, just like last time except with more of everything.  Plus we added candy necklaces.  Man oh man did I have a great time.  We had at one point almost 20 people crammed into (although a rather large, still only) one dorm room.  Some people left a little early and we kept ( Read more... )

Someone asked me the other day "How are you such a happy person?" She basically said I'm very genuine and asked me how I got to where I am. It made me stop and think a little, both because I wasn't expecting the question and because, well, how did I get here anyways ( Read more... )

What a day it was. And one of the greatest nights I've ever had in my life. I joined a bunch of friends and played drinking Jenga for the better part of the night. That game just never got boring. My friends had written things on the bottom of the blocks like: make a rule, remove an article of clothing, kiss the person next to you, guys drink, ( Read more... )

My friends probably have never heard me talk about my grandpa. My mom's dad that is. Most likely cause he died 4 or 5 years ago at the age of 98. If there's one thing that sticks out in my mind about him, it would have to be the feeling I got from him. Well, maybe feeling isn't the right word, more like, presence. For some reason or another, I ( Read more... )

So I was asked to pick a song for our tennis team that inspires me. We're all going to pick one and burn it onto a CD. As I was scanning through my music and listening to snippets of a few of my more inspirational songs, I'm struck with a sudden flashback. I'm sitting alone on a bed. It's in the room I slept at while I stayed with a family in ( Read more... )
