So, update...I'm leaving for China in 5 days; that's a little crazy to me. I was selected to be an International Ambassador for Western Oregon U. in a new program, so I get to flit about China with a group and tell people about WOU. Did I mention it's free?...yes, yes it's free. I'm SO incredibly excited, but I'm also pretty damn nervous...I've never been farther from home than Kentucky [and while that's more or less another country compared to the Northwest, I still don't think it counts as real experience traveling .] I'll probably be posting pictures of the MILLIONS that I will take, so never fear! And I'll be keeping a journal so I don't forget any of the amazing things I get to do
Other than that, I'm starting finals week; nothing more needs to be said about that than BARF...yes, that sums it up nicely.
Oh, finally, my boyfriend proposed!! He did an amazing job proposing, and I definitely cried like a little bitch...but I'm supposed to because I'm the girl. We'll be getting married July 18th of 2010, and I'm already freaking out...but again, it's okay because I'm supposed to. I did get my favorite color as one of the "theme colors" so that was rad. It'll be a dark-ish purple/white/silver/some black accents wedding, and I'm pretty excited about the possibilities; one advantage of being artistically inclined is that I can do whatever the hell I want with pretty much any colors and make it look damn good
Really, the rest of my life is consumed with packing and making sure that I'm out and ready to go by Friday, because Saturday is one of my best friend's wedding (which I'm in) and then I'm leaving Sunday morning from Monmouth at 3:00am...so I'll probably not sleep that night, some how stay awake on the 4 1/2 hour flight, and then take a tranquilizer (provided by the school's Health and Counseling Center) and pass the eff out on the 14-15 hour flight. I thought it was a good idea
I'll most likely be writing a trip update when I get back.
Peace

Not a lot, because I had to go to Latin class the next morning at nine...le sigh.
It doesn't seem like it's been 21 years...crazy...

I'm still crazy and taking two languages next term, but I decided to take it a little easy in the English dept. and finish my lower division classes...which I should have already taken BEFORE the senior seminar classes, but I have wiles and ways around trivial things like protocol
Erm, that's more or less it. I'm SUPER stoked for a break, and ready to do some relaxing things that have no scholastic benefit whatsoever
Good luck to those of you who have finals remaining, and poo on you to those who don't

Anyway, I'm back at school, working two part time jobs, and going to school full-time. I'm taking Latin, which is actually really cool. I'm also taking Eng 447, which is a seminar on Dante Aligheri. So far it's really fun, but I'm not excited for the final paper...or any of the papers, for that matter. Um, what else? ASL IV is kicking my ass, but I just need to practice more. Intermediate life drawing is bomb. The first day, we could all definitely tell that we had not done any drawing since last year, so it was a fun day

My roommates are hilarious, so that's cool, but they need to learn how to shut the door during business time in the bathroom. It's disconcerting in the morning because my room is directly across from the bathroom.
-I took two summer classes: Math 111, which was balls, and English 447, which was AWESOME. Let explain why: my course reading materials were all of the Chronicles of Narnia books, and all of the Harry Potter books. Yes, that's right. It's was a special interests, senior/graduate level course on CHRONICLES OF NARIA AND HARRY POTTER. It was so cool. However, the 36+ pages of essays that I had to write was slightly less cool (the last essay, but not final exam, was 20 pages...THAT part of the class was balls, but the rest was cool).
-I'm working in the financial aid office at WOU doing pretty much whatever the counselors tell me, which is mostly filing and organizing. It's not a bad job, though; the people there are mega cool, and I get to listen to my iPod, so all around, it's a fairly enjoyable thing.
-Next year, I'm working for ASWOU as the Gender and Sexual Diversity Advocate, which is going to be amazing. I run the QRC at WOU, put on programs, and attend OSERA (Oregon Student Equal Rights Association) board meetings.
All in all, my life is rad right now. But I am hella bored in Independence...because it sucks.


OH!!! And, I'm a Twilighter, and I was at the midnight release for Breaking Dawn, and, of course, I dressed up. I rationalized it because we brought a couple 13 year olds (my best bud's sister and pal), and they wanted to dress up, so we did as well to make them feel better...but I was going to dress up anyway It was so fun, and the book is AMAZING. I read it twice that weekend, and then passed it off. I think that's all

-One of my classes is all about John Donne, who is my absolute favorite writer, so it's hella bomb
-I hate my intercultural communication class
-Painting is sweet, and never, EVER take two art history classes at once....ever
-I've just been diagnosed with gastroenteritis, so I'm on a strictly clear liquid diet for two days, so I've been eating Jello and Chicken broth like it's my job...and it sucks.
-Other than that, things are pretty chill here on the Monmouth front. I'm looking for a job to work over the summer while I'm taking math and an english class on the Harry Potter and Chronicles of Naria series'...yeah, be jealous I'll probably try to work in the coffee shop here in town, but who know

My mommy took me out to dinner today, and it was very relaxing and chilled.


Now I must do some homework that I should have done earlier

More on this later, but I just realized what time it is, and I have to go to class, because it was only delayed for 2 hours, and I have class at 10 anyway.
Damn.

The first 10 people who post in this journal will be featured. I will go though your gallery and choose three of your deviations I like most and post them in my journal for everyone to see! It's pretty much to show you off. Who doesn't want that?

The catch?

You gotta put this in your journal as well if you posted. and be careful, if you don't post this in your journal, i might just check on you, and then there'll be trouble :smack:

Hope all of your finals went well to those of you who took them, and I hope that everyone has a spectacular summertime.

Peace out

I've made some amazing friends this year. Some that were willing to rescue me from Portland, some willing to bitch out those who crashed into me, and some who are just willing to listen to my ridiculous ramblings about my wedding w/ Ben Burnley.
All in all, I've loved pretty much every moment of my first college experience. I've found interest in things I never thought that I'd be able to pursue, and I've changed my major...a lot. I'm now an art major, art history/ASL double minor.
Learning to make myself do things was the hardest lesson, and one that I hope I've learned. I still flake out on things, but I'm learning that sometimes, down time is nice, and I don't have to have something planned everyday of the week...nor every hour of the day.
I'm excited to see where everything I've done takes me, since I never thought that I'd ever be in Osh Kosh, Wisconsin, but I was there last weekend for a leadership conference. I was selected to be a part of the Western delegation, and I represented on campus students at the UW-Oshkosh. I also presented a program there (MonoPoBy: The Game of Racial Profiling), and I had like 50 people show up. Let me tell you, three Monopoly boards, besides being a pain to pack, are not enough for 50 people. So we played in pairs, and switched on and off. I had a splendid time, and I also got to meet awesome new people. Oh, and I won a hat during my Mafia session for being the 'Best Roleplay of an Assigned Role.' Unfortunately, I won a sailor's hat, which isn't real cool, but it's free
I'll miss people, but I know I'll keep in touch with most. My hall government pals have been amazing, and I'm so excited to be able to work with some of them next year on the RHA executive board.
Peace out, homes

I'm okay, though. A little sore, but nothing major. Just really tired.

I've also been working on learning new songs on the guitar, and I'm working on developing some electric guitar skills, since I've pretty much got acoustic chording down...just let me say that having small hands, and trying to play some Breaking Benjamin songs, of which the lead singer has massive hands, and can easily reach four to six frets, sucks...

But it's making me loads better...I think.

The talent show went well, (I can't remember if I posted how I did in the last journal, or just that I was in it, and I'm way too lazy to check ), but I didn't make it in the final five. My dad said I should have, but I'm not sure if that's because he's my dad, or if we actually did that well. We didn't have a monitor, and I don't know if you've ever tried to sing and play guitar w/o a monitor in a big room through a mic, but it mega sucks...so I don't know exactly how well I did. Oh well...I didn't throw up, and that was my main goal besides not chickening out, so I came out on top in my opinion.

Ciao

Is it over yet?
In my head
I know nothing of your kind
And I won’t reveal your evil mind
Is it over yet?
I can’t win

So sacrifice yourself
And let me have what’s left
I know that I can find
The fire in your eyes
I’m going all the way
Get away please

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You got to fight just to make it through
‘Cause I will be the death of you

This will all be over soon
Pour the salt into the open wound
Is it over yet?
Let me in

So sacrifice yourself
And let me have what’s left
I know that I can find
The fire in your eyes
I’m going all the way
Get away please

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You got to fight just to make it through
‘Cause I will be the death of you

I’m waiting
I’m praying
Realize
Start hating

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You got to fight just to make it through
‘Cause I will be the death of you

I've also been invited to apply for NACURH, which is a national residence hall conference where I would take workshops and meet other on-campus students and talk and things like that. I'm mega stoked.

Hall government rocks. I work with an awesome cabinet, and for our traditional program, Casino Night, we decided to do an "Uncharted Waters" theme...with pirates, sea creature, the whole she-bang.

Also, college rocks. I love my classes, my teachers, and next term, I get to start taking my effing art classes; 2-D design and Beg. drawing.

People rock. I've made some super neato pals, and we always have a good time. I actually haven't been that bored up there...I've actually been bored more at home then up there.

Oh, I'm home for Winter break, so if you're around we should hang...because I'm bored.

I've been able to have some fun, but it's mostly been while eating. I had a picnic last friday, and dinner two days ago with a funny boy and one or both of my roommates. We some how manage to spend some time together with all of our busy schedules; mine being the busiest. Heidi and Autumn, my roommates, say I have lives for them, and I don't doubt it...I have soooooo much to do, but I love to stay busy, so let's see if I can stay busy AND retain some vestige of my sanity....whatever's left of it that is

However, this bliss was not to last; while playing soccer with some fairly attractive upper classmen, she bit it on the wet grass. She didn't think it was a big deal, and it kind of hurt, but she kept on playing. She played for a good fourty five minutes, when she had to go meet with someone to draw a tattoo. That's when she discovered that it hurt like a BITCH to walk; she hadn't noticed while playing on account of the adrenaline, but now that things were toning down, she noticed. She canceled her appointment, limped up three flights of stairs to get to her room, which was the last one on her floor, limped in her room, collapsed on the couch, took off her shoes, and discovered that the arch of her foot now measured four inches in thickness, and there was a nice little bruise forming on the top of her foot. She got some ice, changed into jammies, which was probably very entertaining, sat down at her computer, and started whining.
And so here we are
I'm not sure how tennis will go tomorrow, or if it will even go. It all depends on if I can go
I've got it iced, and I'm hoping that not being able to wiggle my toes isn't life threatening.
Loves, and I hope your day(s) have been better than mine

i was talking to a moth
the other evening
he was trying to break into
an electric light bulb
and fry himself on the wires

why do you fellows
pull this stunt i asked him
because it is the conventional
thing for moths or why
if that had been an uncovered
candle instead of an electric
light bulb you would
now be a small unsightly cinder
have you no sense

plenty of it he answered
but at times we get tired
of using it
we get bored with the routine
and crave beauty
and excitement
fire is beautiful
and we know that if we get
too close it will kill us
but what does that matter
it is better to be happy
for a moment
and be burned up with beauty
than to live a long time
and be bored all the while
so we wad all our life up
into one little roll
and then we shoot the roll
that is what life is for
it is better to be a part of beauty
for one instant and then cease to
exist than to exist forever
and never be a part of beauty
our attitude toward life
is come easy go easy
we are like human beings
used to be before they became
too civilized to enjoy themselves

and before i could argue him
out of his philosophy
he went and immolated himself
on a patent cigar lighter
i do not agree with him
myself i would rather have
half the happiness and twice
the longevity

but at the same time i wish
there was something i wanted
as badly as he wanted to fry himself

Say what you like; Alfred Wes Hamilton is a hero.
When Alfred’s first grade teacher asked him what he would like to be when
he grew up, Alfred said he didn’t.
“What do you mean, you don’t?” his teacher asked him.
“Little boys and adults grow up.” Alfred would reply. “What I want is to
metamorphose.”
“Who taught you to say that?” his teacher asked him.
“Who teaches geese to fly North?” Alfred would reply.
“You’re a clever little boy, aren’t you, Alfred?” his teacher asked him.
“No.” Alfred would reply. “You are just astonishingly dull.”

“Alfred Wes Hamilton,” the principle said to him, “Mrs. Elise only asked
you what you wanted to be in the future. Why did you insult her?”
“She certainly did not. Jenny did not ask me what I wanted to be in the
future, but rather declared what she felt the future must be. Only a
dullard would confuse the two.”
“Alfred, it is not acceptable to insult your teachers.”
“I didn’t insult her. I informed her. And just now I informed you.”
“Alfred, why must you always be so difficult?”
“To counterweight your questions. What kind of silly person needs to ask
what I aspire towards?”
“Evidently these silly people, Alfred. You have kept us all in mystery.
“There is only one thing worth aspiring towards. Why should it be any
mystery?”
“Alfred, what do you mean there is only one thing? You could be a fireman,
or a veterinarian, or a lawyer, or even president.”
“Insipid old cow. Those are occupations, not aspirations. I want to be
beautiful.”
“Oh, but Alfred, you are beautiful.”
“No. You are just revoltingly ugly.”

“The problem,” the principal said to the superintendent and a select group
of Alfred Wes Hamilton’s teachers, “is that there is no procedure for
expelling Alfred. We have a legal obligation to confer with his parents
before sealing such a decision.”
“But Alfred Wes Hamilton is an impediment to a healthy learning
environment. He won’t connect dots, he won’t fill in bubbles, I’m certain
that he makes up words. The other children can’t focus when he’s around:
They are rude and disorderly. Can’t his parents appreciate our situation?”
“At this point it would be impossible to say. No one has heard from or of
his parents for a year now. In fact, although his paperwork is all in good
order, no one has any recollection of ever having seen them or heard
anything about them.”
“Has no one asked him about his parents?”
“Of course we have; but he only starts making things up again when we do.”

“Alfred, how can we reach your parents?” the superintendent asked him.
“You can’t.”
“Why can’t I?”
“Because you had to ask.”
“But you could tell me.”
“You can’t learn how. You just have to know.”
“Well how can I know?”
“You can’t.”
“Well, where are they?”
“Lots of places. In the womb, the air, the grave.”
“Well where are they now?”
“I just told you.”
“Alfred, can you give a straight answer?”
“That depends on whether you can ask a straight question.”
“What do you mean by that, Alfred?”
“Only that tangents are notoriously deceptive. I can give part of an
answer to part of your question, but not without responding entirely to your
entire question. Or I could give you an infinity of straight answers to
your one undoubtedly bent question.”
“Alfred, will you just tell me where your parents are?”
“They are in temporal discontinuity.”
“What do you mean by that, Alfred?”
“I told you, you couldn’t learn.”

“Did you talk to Alfred?” his first grade teacher asked the superintendent.
“Yes.”
“And?”
“He started making things up.”
“Always the same.”
“He seems such a strange little boy.”
“Oh, he is. He is.

So, I finally got my tattoo. We had to reschedule like twice, so the artist dropped the cost to $100. Which rocked, since the estimate was $100-$150. It took an hour and a half.
I'd heard that the line art hurt the worst, and the coloring wasn't that bad, because it was spread out.

That's a dirty lie
The line art didn't hardly phase me, but there were point when he was coloring that hurt sooooooooooo bad.

It looks like crap now, but that's because it's oozing and shiz...

Can't wait for it to look cool!
I might put a picture up later

Well, I got a call from Sacred Art this morning, and the tattoo artist who was going to do my tattoo is sick, and he can't do it. I had to reschedule for next Wed. I was sooooo excited, and now I have to wait another week. That's another week I have to chicken out... Oh well. Not much else has happened. Three of my pals left for college today, two more are leaving next wed; the same day as my tattoo; and I don't actually leave until the 17th of Sept.

It stunk, but we're both doing better, and we're still pals, so that's good We figured with me going to college, it prolly wouldn't have worked too well anyway. He's still open to continuing it later, but I'm not sure.

That's pretty much it...I'm still not looking forward to telling them about Moses...

"They told him don't you ever come around here

Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it

To the title of this entry;
The main reason I'm housesitting, is they have three pets: a rabbit, Lancelot; a guinea pig, Jessica; and a mouse, Moses. Moses is, as you could probably guess, the focus of this story. Lately I've been hanging with one of my roomates for college, and I think as she was leaving last night, she or her bf hit his cage. They are all outdoor pets because of the heat. Well, he has one of those plastic cages with the tubes that you can add on. One of the tubes got knocked off, and in the night, Moses left on an excursion. I got up this morning to feed and water him, when I found out he wasn't there. Keep in mind, this is a neighborhood wrought with stray cats.
So my mom picks me up to do some errands, and I tell her about Moses. I'm kind of freaking out, because they've already lost three pets to the heat, and I lost this one...She respectfully lets me work out what I might do when they get back from Hawai'i. They're coming back on a red-eye, and will get back this thursday at two thirty or so...
So anyway, I called my mom earlier today, and she figured out I wasn't freaked. She said, "Well, I was going to ask you if Moses was searching for the Promise Land this morning, but you didn't seem in the mood." I sighed, and said, "Mommy, I think Moses did find the Promise Land, because I haven't seen hide or hair of him."
At least I can smile about it, and I'm going to get her another mouse, but I was debating about just getting one that was about the same size and looked like Moses, but I think I'll tell her, just in case he turns up later...in less than one piece... ]]> ~MyKie http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/9596716/ http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/9596716/ Fri, 04 Aug 2006 10:22:50 PDT ~MyKie http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/9438052/ http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/9438052/ Thu, 20 Jul 2006 13:37:47 PDT The flights weren't too bad, but on the one from Dallas/Fort Worth to Portland, as we were getting ready to leave, the plane shut off. Very unexpectedly. Then, they thought they had fixed it, so they started to move. And it shut off again. So they call four techs, and they all cram in the cockpit to try and fix the plane. Meanwhile, most of the passengers were feeling a wee bit nervous. It made me think of Ron White: "They announce their having some trouble with oil pressure. By this time, I've had a few drinks, so I'm like' Take'r down! I don't care. Make sure you hit somethin' hard; I don't wanna limp away from this crash.' The guy next to me is just freakin' out.' 'Hey, man, if one of the engines goes out, how far will the other one take us?' 'All the way to the scene of the crash. I bet we beat the paramedics by fifteen minutes...'"
Well, we didn't crash, and I kept my ears from totally freaking out, so all was good. Today, I'm mostly relaxing, and then I'm heading over to a buddy's house before she and her sister leave for Peru. Should be a fun time. We plan on staying up and watching Pink Panther movies, eating junk, and sleeping late.

We're making sure that we're compatible with Tien's cousin, because some time in August or September, he's coming out to Oregon. He'll stay with us for a while, and then find some where to call home. He's pretty nifty; meg and I both like him, and he's pretty much become one of the family while we've been over here. We hiked to the Natural Bridge today, which was about a three hour commitment, and I swear we all lost like ten pounds in just lost water (sweat). It was super muggy, and it's pretty much all uphill to get there. It sucked big time. It was so worth it, though. I'll also be putting up pictures of the view from up there.

Carolina. We passed through Ten. and No. Carolina; eventually stopping in one of those states for a day, and then resuming passage to get to Summerville, NC. We were going to see the midnight showing of the second Pirates of the Caribbean, but they sold out way fast. *le sigh* So now I have to wait until I get back home to see it. Oh well; that just means that the theatres will be slightly less crowded...I hope. We actually are staying in a very nice hotel; the Comfort Suites. We were somewhat forced here, because almost every other hotel was out of smoking rooms, and Mom and Tien don't know how to compromise. There was the EconoLodge, but that screamed Red Roof Inn (but worse), and so we decided to stick with the suites. We even got a four person room for less than a hundered dollars, which I thought was pretty sweet. Sometime or another, we're going to the beach, and then I get to go to a southern flea market...I was advised to keep my wallet in my front pocket, and to not take a bag/purse. Hmm, sounds like it should be a fun time.
I'll let you all know how that goes, and I'll talk to you soon! ]]> ~MyKie http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/9271652/ http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/9271652/ Tue, 04 Jul 2006 13:49:28 PDT )
Travel Log

Day 1- We didn’t actually sleep last night, so a very sleepy bunch climbed into Bryant’s Jeep and we set off for Portland at about three o’clock this morning. Just before departure from home base, I discovered unpleasant news; my wisdom teeth are coming in. I have to deal with that icky stuff on this trip. I will try to keep my whining to a bearable level, though. The drive was fairly uneventful, except for one instance where we clipped the safety barrier. No one was hurt, and we were able to keep on schedule. We got to the airport and made it through airport security without a hitch. Our first flight also went very well. What Mom didn’t know, was that after the San Francisco flight, the plane was going to Los Cabos, Mexico, and therefore dropped us off at an international terminal. We had to scamper to get our other terminal (on the other side of the airport, of course), only to find that we had to go through security again; our flight was leaving about fourty-five minutes after we got into line to go through security. Needless to say, tension was high, but we didn’t miss the flight. However, two of our number wished we had. Mom nearly got sick, and Megan did get sick on this flight. There was a gross amount of turbulence, and on the landing, the pilot kept going up and down a seemingly unnecessary amount. It was very, very sickening. We then waited about an hour in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport in Texas, and then took off for our final flight into Louisville, KY. This flight was on a plane that seated three people across, and had maybe twelve rows. It was very small. Regardless, it was a very calming flight, and it had a smooth landing. I am a very good flier; the only problem was that my ears kept getting plugged or something, and they haven’t unplugged yet. I’m hoping that they’ll pop or something when I go to bed. We had dinner at a Waffle House, and it had surprisingly delicious food. I was very happy. Not a bad end to the first day of the trip, if you ask me.

Day 2- Woke up this morning at a decent hour, considering that time here is three hours faster than back there. It was difficult to get moving, however, and we almost missed the Breakfast Bar. We spent most of the time in Winchester, KY today, getting to know most of Tien’s (Mom’s boyfriend) family. Mostly cousins…actually, I think they were all cousins. And it is true what people say about the Kentucky gene pool; there will be no diving. I met one gal who was dating her fourth cousin, and they were planning on having a kid within the year. “Well, we only recognize third cousins ‘round here, and we don’t recognize marriage as a relational tie at all.” OMG. It was pretty dang…enlightening…? I dunno. I will say, however, their mode of speech is as contagious as…a very contagious disease, and I have regrettably picked it up. I apologize to those of you who will be associating with me after I get back, as I’ll be speaking in a fairly I.Q.-questionable accent. We stayed at Tien’s dad’s house tonight, and will do so tomorrow night. He lives way out in the boondocks, and therefore, I won’t have internet for a while. I’m not sure when, so I’m sorry about late replies, or lack there of, and I’ll get online as soon as I can.

Day 3- Today, we went to Tien’s mom’s house and had a barbeque. I got to shoot an AR-16; basically a civilian-issue M-16. I was surprised at my fair marksmanship; I actually hit a license plate from about 50 feet! Then, we spent some time with Tien’s dad, and his cousin came over to visit. We spent pretty much all night just talking, and at about two in the morning, Tien and Mom went to bed, and his cousin, Meg and I played Tri-Bond. For those of you who don’t know, it’s basically a logic/trivia game where you try to find the connection between three things. I won, and there was only one other piece out on the board; it was pretty much a domination. We went to bed at about four.

Day 4- I got up five hours after I went to bed, and went to Tien’s grandpa’s for a fourth of July cookout. Meg, Poncho (Tien’s cousin), and I played Frisbee and a horseshoes-like game with bean bags and wooden ramps w/ holes in it. Right now, I’m sitting in my hotel room finishing this installment up, and I’ll probably hang out in the AC for tonight. The weather here is super gross; mid to high nineties with a humidity of 60-70 percent. Pretty dang gross…
Day 5- Today, we he... ]]> ~MyKie http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/9132175/ http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/9132175/ Tue, 20 Jun 2006 23:41:55 PDT gen bio + lab

some philosophy class or another

i also had a college writing class, but i took that in HS, so i'll be trading it for an art class or another. not too hard of a schedule, considering i'll be done with class by about twelve noon, and i'll prolly have about two classes a day. that is, however, sixteen credit hours (which is four more than required to be considered 'full-time'). this also leaves me time to make up 1000 dollars in work study money, and find a job.

doing okay other than that. getting ready for a three week long vacation on the east coast. so. carolina, kentucky, and tenessee. i'm pretty excited, because this will be the first time i've ridden on a plane. my sis is wacked-out-scared, but that's just her. i'm stoked.

I'M A GRADUATE!!!!
Yeah, it's pretty sweet. I'm so excited to leave for college, but I think I shall enjoy my summer immensely. I got to see some people I haven't seen in a very long time (like my corvallis pal) and my family was pretty much super nice to me in the gift-giving department. I'm writing this from my brand new laptop and a "borrowed" wireless internet connection.
I got a cell phone, but I'm not supposed to blatantly give the number away, only if someone asks, so if you want it, note me and I shall give it to you.

I just got my senior pictures taken, some of which I will be putting up, but only the ones I like. There are some where the photographer was really pushy and made me take my glasses off, so make sure and check those out, cause I look real different, and you're not likely to see it again....I much prefer my glassed, but apparently they mess with the photos. If it was up to him, I wouldn't have had them in any, but I was my normal stubborn bastard self, and I got my way...ish.

My schedule sucked, so I went in the next day to change it (I couldn't the day I got it because the school is dumb). Scheduling officially started at 8:30. My sister and I got there at 8:45, and there were like 25 people already there. Apparently, they had started getting there at like 7! So I had to wait until 12:15 to get my schedule fixed, then I had to wait another half an hour for Megan(Sis) to get hers fixed. On the plus side, I got to hang out with Robbie and play cards in the Counseling Center until they told us to take it out side because we were being disruptive....like it takes concentration to click stuff on the computer...
Anyway, megan and I roll out of there at like one, because she had to check out her locker and then she was [link] with her friends until I finally had to go get her and drag her away.

Here's my schedule:

Many times I've tried to tell you
Many times I've cried alone
Always I'm surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone
Don't wanna leave you really
I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together

Maybe it's a sign of weakness
When I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit
Do we distort the facts
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
When you say

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together

Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together

We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under

You swore, this time, you’d think with your head
No one would ever have you again
And if takin’ was gonna get done, you’d decide where and when

Just when you think you got it down
Your heart securely tied and bound
They whisper promises in the dark

Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the night
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
All the warnings went off in your head, still you had to give in

Just when you think you got it down
Resistance nowhere to be found
They whisper promises in the dark

But promises you know what they’re for
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before
‘Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure
And so you put up your guard
And you try to be hard but your heart says try again

You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
On the edge is where it seems it’s well worth the cost

Just when you think you got it down
Your heart in pieces on the ground
They whisper promises in the dark ]]> ~MyKie http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/4814873/ http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/4814873/ Mon, 14 Mar 2005 20:38:25 PST ]]> ~MyKie http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/4772455/ http://MyKie.deviantart.com/journal/4772455/ Wed, 09 Mar 2005 19:40:38 PST I'd rope the moon
and put it
in a blender
mix up a concoction
that might
make you surrender
I'd ride the brand
off a buckin brahma bull
rob me a gin mill
I'd fill the ocean full
I'd take on the army
her majesty's marine
your love
ain't just the cover
it's the whole magazine
for your love
I'd stop a freight train
single handed
straighten out the bends
in the rio grande
I'd climb the tower
at the tv station
braodcast my affection
to the united nation
I'd take on the governor
in Washington DC
your love
ain't just an engine
it's the rockin machine

Chorus
For your love
I'd stop the hands of time
for your love
I'd dig a diamond mine
for your love
I'd do it all the time

For your love
I'd walk a tight rope
and wrestle anacondas
jump a motorcycle
over half a dozen hondas
carve your initials
on a forest of bamboo
paint the Brooklyn bridge
baby pink with a broom
I'd take on the press
from Tokyo to Prada
your love ain't just
the hot sauce
it's the whole enchilada
