                <description><![CDATA[ Hi deviantart!<br />I'm sad to say that I abandoned art. I've done a few pieces over the past few years but not as many as I wish. The real world has been so... busy. I left school for a while and worked full-time at a job I hate. (still there) I haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up and that was like... 5 years ago. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=(" title="=( (Sad)" /> So I need to be doing that soon. :sigh:<br />I will try to be a better artist. Well, I can't help the talent, but I will produce more and practice more. I'm promising myself!<br />So, hello again my friends. I hope you are all well.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so the last time i updated this thing was in 2005.  how crazy is that?<br />
i was looking at my stuff and deviants with whom i used to be friends, and i realized that regardless of our relationship status i will always love their work.  thinking about lost friends and loves is rough and troubling for someone who hangs on to memories like i do.  i miss the times we had, the laughs, the tears, the secrets shared.  sometimes i wish things could go back to the way they were before, but the i remember the present and am happy and content, for the most part, in my life.  if things hadn't changed would i still be happy now?  i don't think i would be.  <br />
i was out of school this semester.  it wasn't the smartest thing for me, but it made me think about what i want to do.  i definitely like being in school better than real life. lol.  but i want to do art.  all the time.  and working at my crappy dead end job i never have time to do anything.  i have all of these art supplies and no time to use them.  as well i have all these friends and no time to see them.  is that what being an adult is?  if so i want to be something/do something that has to do with art so that it is in my life.  anyone else feel happy or like they can do anything when they're working on a piece?<br />
anyway.  this update was just supposed to be a short "hi again" entry but it turned into a thought-filled ball of nonsense. <br />
i hope everyone is great, the work i've been looking at and catching up on it amazing (as usual) and i look forward to seeing more! who knows, maybe i'll do some of my own.<br />
<br />
miss you guys.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so life is flip floppin' a lot lately... but whatever. I'm worried about something, I'm worried that I may have lost one of my best friends. I don't think she likes me anymore, and I don't think she cares that we never talk or see each other. I kinda feel that her real best friend got home so there's no need for me anymore. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /> But blah.... that's me right now. If you want anymore updates go to my xanga site, there's stuff there.<br />
p.s. MIke... email me ok? ok, good. ]]></description>

I commented  on some, don't hate me if I didn't  though. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> I realized how much I miss  this place and all of the beautiful  things that I get to see from everyone.

                <description><![CDATA[ hi.<br />
so life has been crazy for a few weeks,  ups and downs and back ups.<br />
I feel like I'm pushing all of my  friends away from me and I don't know  why.<br />
I'm scared about the end of this school  year.<br />
I don't know what the summer holds for  me, and I feel like I'm running out of  time to get my grades where they should  be.<br />
Emotions are crazy as usual.<br />
My family is a bunch of nutcases,  nothing new.<br />
I'm getting anxious for color  guard/marching band/some steady nice  weather.<br />
I'm a very jealous person and it's  probably not a good thing that I am. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br />
Blah- I miss my mom but she makes me  cry so much.<br />
Being sick sux.<br />
I hope everyone is doing well.<br />
I like choppy short sentences and such  today.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi kids....<br />
<br />
I haven't posted on here in a while so  I decided to uupdate you a li'l bit,  lol, warning: it's another long'n:<br />
<br />
<br />
Midterms were last week, and they  frazzled me. I was so worried about  them that I didn't go to art for a  whole week so i could study for my math  exams. Then after the math exams I  actually was in a pretty great mood.  They were, to me, alot of fun. I know,  I'm a nerd.<br />
<br />
Last Thursday after all of my exams  were finished and I was hyper and happy  and such, I went with Sam and Heather  to the CAC to work on Becky's guard  solo. (sam's sister) I always have fun  playing color guardy, especially sine  after I play around for a while my arms  are all like toned and shtuff. But ya  know, when Neena came in a did her  normal "rachel's not existent" routine,  my mood plummetted below the ground. It  boggles my mind as to why I care so  much as to how she treats me when I  know why she does it, and I knew in  advance that is was going to happen.  What can i do ya know? oh well-o.<br />
<br />
But after that week of Hell was over  came the ever-so relaxing weekend. I  slept Friday night from 11:30 p.m. to 3  p.m. on Saturday, ah the power of  tylenol pm. lol. I vegged out and  around the dorm, then Heather came back  Saturday night and I went to this  really well performed jazz concert  featuring this tall cartoon looking guy  Conrad Herwig. Apparently he's like  Nationally known and all this. I just  liked watching my outdoor band's drum  major, Shawn Cookus, 30-ish with a  beard, play the flute. hehe. Sunday my  mom came up with Jerry and Joe and  George, but Joe was asleep so only my  mom and jerry came up to visit. They  could only stay for a lil short while  But I miss them, so it was good. Then  later Chase-a-McKhoury came by and we  had dinner with Sam and Heather and  then we just talked for a long while.  That was good to see him, he hasn't  been up here since before my birthday.<br />
<br />
Then Monday came today, it reminded me  of that song on this commercial ...  "Monday morning, came too soon..."  Cause it freakin did. I was up til late  Sunday working on a couple papers (3  am), and then I got up at 7am Monday to  get up, eat, and go to classes. But I  took a nap so I'm okay now.<br />
<br />
Off the chronological b.s. of my life,  some good news that I think I should  post is that Sama Lee and I are gonna  be roomies next year.  I'm excited, and  a li'l nervous. I'm scared that her and  Heather might get sick of me being  around and shtuff and I don't want that  to happen. But I'm happy and hopeful  nontheless. Also, according to my  trusted source KatiePutz 'Harry  Potter''s new book will be out this  July! I know, stupid dorky Rachel, but  seriously- if I could go to Hogwarts, I  would. I love the series and though I  don't like the author at all, stupid  British ass, she knows how to write  some good books. yupyup. <br />
<br />
In other news, Spring Break will be  starting this Friday night for us  Shepherd University folk... and Sama,  Heathers, Amy, and I are supposed to be  heading to Baltimore's Inner Harbor for  2 days/1 night of thunder. lol, good  song-ish. But that will be this coming  Sunday into Monday, I hope everything  works out well- I'm looking forward to  this trip. yupyup.<br />
<br />
Anything else I should be covering?  hmmm....<br />
I'm sad peeps.<br />
<br />
lol, I'm really greatful of the fact  that I have Sam and Heather as such  close friends and that they're here at  college with me- but sometimes I still  get lonely. I miss Thomas, and seeing  them together just makes me wish I  could be with him like that right now.  Blah... It's okay, Our Spring break's  are back-to-back so maybe we'll get to  spend some good long fun times together  then. I hope I hope I hope.... <br />
:sigh:<br />
<br />
Anywayz.... I'm done. I think that all  the importants of my week have been  covered. I love you all, and I hope  that you've enjoyed these couple of  nice days we've had... cause they're  leaving tomorrow.  I was liking this  tank top and jeans weather. Oh well  though... hasta all. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
p.s. I loathe English alot, whole  heartedly with a passion, it needs to  die alot. grr ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ya know....<br />
I don't know why I'm sad anymore. I  know that I lack happiness, but I don't  know why exactly. Is it because the  love of my life is 2.5 hours away? Is  it because I hate school, and dread  classes? Is it because I want to be  with my mom? Is it because my  grandparents, the only solid thing in  my life, are now divorcing? Am I scared  to be with someone because I fear in 45  years we'll seperate too? Is it because  ny mother cries everytime she talks to  me, and there's nothing I can do? Is it  because my only friends at school are  either happily together or never  around? <br />
I'm scared of being with someone. I'm  scared of not being with someone. I  cannot imagine my life without Thomas  in it, but I can't imagine a future  with him in it either. I don't know  whether to let go so he can be free, or  to hang on for dear life knowing that  he loves me.<br />
The only thing I want out of college  right now is guard, friends, and  freedom. I don't care about my future.  I don't care if I go to class or not. I  don't want my mom disappointed in me, I  don't want to break a promise to  Thomas, Heather, and myself that I  would do my best. But in reality, I'm  not doing my best. I'm just doing  enough to get by and maybe pass. <br />
This is not who I am. Rachel Suzanne  Fello cares about her future. She has  always wanted to go to college and make  something of herself. She has always  wanted to do her best to prove to  herself that she can. But I'm not her  anymore. I just want to cry and sleep  and hide from the world.<br />
Why? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry it took me so long to write about  last weekend kids... been a busy week.<br />
Last weekend:<br />
<br />
My mom and brother picked me up Friday  and took me back to my house. We hung  out for a while and got Outback....  mmm, I love outback fooodz. Then my  momma took me up to the high school to  see my KatiePutz baby and Kelly. I gave  Kelly her Christmas/birthday presents  finally- and she seemed to be really  pleased and surprised. A rifle,  equipment bag, and guard gloves. I hope  she's on the rifle line next season  with me, though I don't doubt her  talents. And she gave me a really  pretty blouse for my birthday <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ... i  like it. AND KatiePutz got me peanut  butter candy and a pickle card <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> which,  is in my tummy and on my wall  (respectively) <br />
<br />
So the game was pretty aight, MM,  Katie, and I were being silly at times  and we were goofy- oh, and I kissed  Katie's nose *hehe* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blowkiss.gif" width="35" height="21" alt=":blowkiss:" title="Here's a kiss for you, my love!" /> And then at the  end of 4th quater, I looked up and  there was Thomas walking towards me  with 2 dozen red roses in his hand. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/floating.gif" width="34" height="15" alt=":floating:" title="Floating" /> Do  know, he told me that he couldn't make  it back for my b-day. I was really  kinda hoping that he was lying and  would randomly show up, but I knew that  he didn't have a car or any way of  getting home. But surprise on me: he  found a way.<br />
<br />
After hugging him the rest of the game  and then some, we said night to his  partner in crime KatiePutz- I love you. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" />  Then he was like, "you wanna go to  charlestown?" and i was like "uhhh..."  cause i was floating on cloud 9 there  people, I wasn't registering anything.  So we stopped by my house to grab my  coatcause it was chilly and tell my mom  i was going out and put my beautiful  roses in water. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rose.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":rose:" title="Rose" /> Then we were off...<br />
<br />
We got all the way there, and while we  were walking to the door he asked me,  "you do have your ID right?" and I was  like "oooooooohhhhhhhhhh  shiiiiiiiiiiiit!!" So of course I felt  horrible for making him drive all the  way there just to turn around and go  all the way back. But I liked the  driving/riding with him- talk time and  "be"ing time. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Then, as he laughed at me, and made fun  of me the whole way home- we just went  to his house and watched Pirates of the  Carribean til late and then I went  home. I was so happy just to be with  him, he was the first person I saw/  first person that wished me a happy  birthday saturday morning. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
Then of course I went home late and  slept til late. THEN I went out with  Katie and Kelly and Thomas to see  Phantom of the Opera again. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/popcorn.gif" width="25" height="35" alt=":popcorn:" title="Popcorn" /> I LOVE  THAT MOVIE!! And I highly recommend it,  5 thumbs up ya'll. Thomas also gave me  a really pretty necklace chain for me  to put his ring on. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  Bets birthday I  tell ya.... After the movie Kelly and  Katie dropped Thomas and me off at his  place and I watched TV with him and his  parents for a long time. His parents  are nutz, the good kind though. His mom  makes me laugh alot, and his dad's  snoring makes me double over from  laughing- snorting including. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rofl.gif" width="29" height="27" alt=":rofl:" title="rofl" /> hehe<br />
<br />
But then he had to take me home cause  it was getting late and we were both  beat and had early/busy days. I  definately did not want to leave him at  all, let alone say good bye for another  couple of months. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /> <br />
<br />
I hate saying good bye to him, I always  cry- as soon as he left my driveway I  broke down and cried. Kinda like when  he left my dorm a few friday's back- I  was a mess. But I'm nutz I guess. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
Blah- I miss Katie and Thomas like  nobody's business..... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, a few days before my birthday now  and I get the worst news... my roomie  is moving out. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /> Besides the fact that I  knew this was coming, well not this  specific thing this soon, but I knew  she was pulling away. I loved being her  roomie last semester. This semester she  was just not there, like physically she  was, but mentally she wasn't. She  wouldn't talk to me or sam and heather,  and she wouldn't eat with me anymore.  So I guess I knew something big was up,  but I didn't think it was gonna hit me  this morning.<br />
But oh well, this is what she  wants/"needs". Maybe she will be  happier over in Miller with the other  Honors people. Maybe I didn't study  enough for her roomie compatability  standards. *sigh* <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> <br />
I'll always love her, and I hope she  really is happy over there and knows  that she's welcome back here anytime.<br />
Blah<br />
I need to go do something. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello All....<br />
It's strange being at school again, but  then again everything feels perfectly  normal. I've been back at Shepherd for  3 weeks, it feels like I've been here  for a day and other times it feels like  I never left. This semester is a work  load. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/work.gif" width="48" height="28" alt=":work:" title="I've got too much work to do." /> Even though it a few credits  less than last semester, I feel the  classes take more time. Mondays and  Wednesdays I only have music and  english, but tuesdays and thursdays I  have Drawing for 2 hours, then  Statistics for over an hour, directly  followed by Trig- also over an hour. So  my day doesn't end until after 3. I am  so not used to that.... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/writersblock.gif" width="22" height="25" alt=":writersblock:" title="Argh! Stupid writer's block." /> I haven't had  a real class after 1 pm since 10th  grade.<br />
Oh well though. My first weekend here  was a lil rough. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lonely.gif" width="39" height="18" alt=":lonely:" title="Lonely" /> I was very lonely and  Mandy wasn't here and I spent all of  Friday night crying with the door  locked and the phones off. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/raincloud.gif" width="24" height="27" alt=":raincloud:" title="Grr." /> A few of my  best friends got a little worried about  me though. And so Saturday Katie and  Thomas came to go get me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/airborne.gif" width="49" height="36" alt=":airborne:" title="Airborne" />, and took me  back to J-town with them. I had so much  fun with those two that saturday and  sunday. And after they brought me back  sunday and then Thomas left, Katie  stayed with me til Monday. Monday  morning katie, sam, heather, and I went  to the bakery and had fun. Twas a good  ending to a weekend that started off  really crappy then turned wonderfully  wonderful. The following weekend I  stayed at school and Thomas came up  Friday during the day and we got to  hang out until like 9:30. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> That was an  amazing day, lol, though Mandy and Mike  were also here for some of the time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />  But nonetheless, it was good just to be  with him. And this weekend, I am here  alone. Mandy, heather, sam, and neena  all went home for the weekend. But it's  ok cause chase came to visit me  yesterday, i got to see my mom and joe  today, and chase is gonna come again  tomorrow to do the sunday morning  bakery run with me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> So for the most  part, I think my weekends have been  fairly decent.<br />
On another note: I miss alot of people.  Katie, yep- miss her a whole hell of  alot, Thomas- man oh man do I wish I  could see him everyday,  Chase-a-mcKhoury- I wish we could spend  some more time together to cheer each  other up, my family- i know they get on  my nerves while I'm home, but I still  miss them alotalot, Kelly- I do wish  that I could give her present already,  by the time it gets to her she probably  won't want it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />- and pretty much  everyone else that I don't get to see  or talk to nearly half as much as I  would like to.<br />
But ya know, my birthday is next  weekend <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cake.gif" width="32" height="32" alt=":cake:" title="Have your cake and eat it too" />, and I'll be going home friday  afternoon until sunday to be pampered  by my family and loved by my friends.  I'll miss heather and sam and mandy  though, i probably won't get to see  them that weekend which sux. But I  dunno. Maybe it'll be fun to go home  for a weekend, cause when it starts to  snow and ice all the time i probably  won't get to even if i wanted to.<br />
And kids, so you know- I am happy.  Though I don't have many friends at  school, I have a few really great ones.  I don't know how I'd make it without  sam, mandy, heather, or amy. hehe even  though heather and i are gonna get  kicked out of english together <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /> <br />
Oh, that reminds me.... Heather decided  to drive sam to work last monday since  it was icey and dangerous... so I went  to keep her company while sam worked... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/popcorn.gif" width="25" height="35" alt=":popcorn:" title="Popcorn" />  she took me to see 'Phantom of the  Opera', and that was an awesome freakin  movie <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/clap.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":clap:" titl... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So kids...<br />
I start my first college art Drawing  class Monday. I'm a little nervous, but  so excited at the same time. Though  I'll have 2 hours of art, it'll be  directly followed by 3 hours of Trig  and Stat. This semester will determine  whether or not I want to teach art or  math or both. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I'm looking forward to  working harder this semester, I was  bored last semester and I don't do well  at all when I'm bored. So, *crosses  fingers*, I hope i hope i hope I do  well. I promised Thomas and Katie that  I would try hard, so for my future and  my friends, I will be a good girl. But  hopefully when my art class starts I'll  have more to put in here. Sorry about  not adding new shtuff recently, the  digital camera/scanner I use is my  roommates at college and I've been home  for a month now. Blah.... But I'm gonna  go start packing up my room to go back  Sunday. <br />
It's weird, I can't wait to go back to  see Mandy, Sam, Heather, Greg, Anna,  Amy, and my friends at school <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> ... but  at the same time I'm gonna cry alot  because I'm gonna miss my friends from  home and my family a whole bunch. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br />
*sigh*<br />
Later muh peeps <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smooch.gif" width="35" height="16" alt=":smooch:" title="Smooooch!" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy New Year kids!!!! This is the  time of year that my mother makes her  famous New Year's dinner:<br />
~Cabbage<br />
~Ham<br />
~Potatoes<br />
~Black-eyed peas<br />
Why do they call them black-eyed peas??  They do not taste like peas. They taste  like shiot. BUT the dinner pieces all  have meaning to them for the upcoming  year. Cabbage=wealth, Black-eyed  peas=good health, and I dunno the  rest... I'll give you an update after  the dinner. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
But on today- I got to see my cousin  Robbie and hang out with Jessie. She's  actually a really cool person. She's  funny as crap and silly like me and  though she listens to rap, has a 1.5  year old  while being 6 months younger  than me, is with my brother, and  smokes... she's really cool to hang  around. Although, I feel like crapola.  I've been sick with the stomach virus  since Monday, and I thought I was  getting over it so I hung out with  them... but ya know what? When I was  over there, and when I got back home, I  felt like the worst part was here. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> And  my fever's back up again. Blah, blast  my sick bad immune system all to hell.  But hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow  because a)i don't wanna go to the  quacks b)i have a lunch with chase  tomorrow c) i wanna go out tomorrow  night. I've been either sick, hurt or  depressed the past 3 New Years' nights.  What I wanted to do was watch the ball  drop with my best friend, but that  ain't gonna happen... so I'm probably  gonna go over to Paul's apartment and  hang with Jessie, Robbie, Paul, and  maybe their neighbors, though i hope  not cause i don't wanna be around them.  But I haven't decided if I'm going to  drink or not. I won't be around anyone  I don't trust, Jessie won't be drinking  cause she can't, I don't really care  anymore- I just wanna not be here  anymore for the most part, and why not?  I'm almost 19. Blah. But then again, I  know I shouldn't, I won't feel well at  all afterwards, my mom might kill me,  and if they're smokin j's in the apart.  I'll anxiety attack and heart spasm to  death. Though I don't think they will  cause Jessie can' handle that crap  either. People think of her as a whore  or a druggy, but she just works all  day, makes good money, takes care of  her son, and doesn't drink or do drugs,  and the only guy she's been with is my  brother. Soooo... what's so wrong with  her? I dunno. But whatever. I feel  crappy so I'm gonna sleep now I think <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
Night ya'll....<br />
And if you're partying tomorrow night,  be safe! But everyone have a great New  Year!!!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm sad<br />
Why is it that every time I fight with  my best friend I feel like crawling in  a hole and never leaving it? Somehow I  get sick whenever we're not getting  along. Maybe my body knows that I'm sad  and just goes along with that. <br />
It's cool when people want to talk to  you because they miss you and/or they  have a problem and you're the best  person to listen and offer advice. But  that rarely happens. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
I have a problem kids, I can't put it  in here because only 3 people know  about it... and they don't read this. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" />  I wish I knew what to do. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> It's not  that I'm confused or anything, I just-  blah.<br />
And I've got good present  ideas/presents for everyone but Thomas <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  I think I want to get the perfect gift,  so nothing seems up to par.<br />
I wish things were stable and ok and  easy and not so damn complicated and  grrr.<br />
But yeah.... I love Katie Putz alot. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smooch.gif" width="35" height="16" alt=":smooch:" title="Smooooch!" /> ]]></description>

Today was alot of fun. lol, I did  absolutely nothing in the morning, and  at 3:00 Chase picked me up and we went  to pick up Thomas, and then we headed  to Hagerstown's Valley Mall. The  intention was to see my friends from  school, Greg and Sam, but I didn't see  either of them working while I was  there <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /> but it's ok...

I know I seemed to be a li'l depressed  or something in my last entry, but I'd  like to let you all know that I am ok.  I made up with my best friend, and I  went to kelly's birthday party with my  bestest friends from home <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/party.gif" width="50" height="20" alt=":party:" title="Party" /> I talked to  kelly's parents and it turns out that  her mother was going to get her what i  already got her for her  christmas/birthday present. I can't  wait to give it to her!!! Grr.... it's  getting hard not to tell her. Everyone  else knows, and I hope noone told her,  but yeah- I'm excited. I really really  hope that Thomas, PK, Kelly, and Katie  can come to partay with me in January  for my  mini-after-christmas-late-mandy,kelly,ka tie-early rachel birthday party, lol. I  got everyone an ornament that's gonna  go on a tree for each of them  individually. hehe, and lil presents  and stockings. I'm excited... I'm  probably the only peron who wants it to  be a christmas party but meh- it's my  room!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /> oh well.... know that i'm  happy and okay and mentally sane....  but i'm gonna go finish the million and  twelve things i have to do tonight. bah ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ People,<br />
I am home in Jefferson, Md. for a whole  freakin month. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> But my fears from last  time I was home are surfacing to be  true. I do miss Mandy already, and my  Sam hugs and my Heather 'shut-up  buttfaces' and my Neena 'it's all about  me' shtuff. I miss Greg and Anna and Ed  and the rest of my peeps from guard and  Sabrina (how funny is that?!) and I  don't know.... the freedoms I have at  college. Hopefully this break will be  fun and relaxing and I'm hoping with  everything that I have that I'll get to  see my friends more than once or twice  each. AND I hope beyond hopes that  Mandy and I can go see Sam and Heather,  and maybe even Neena <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />, at Sam's 'Cookie  Party'. I'm excited about it. Sam,  Mandy, and Heather are 3 of my best  friends. Hopefully next time we go to  Chuck E. Cheese's Mandy can come too.  hehehe <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /> But yeah.... I'm better after  finals week. I still feel failurish but  there's nothing I can do about it right  now. So I think I'm gonna go sleep  some. I'll write you guys's later.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I decided that this journal entry will  be to explain the name I hide behind.  lol. <br />
Rankle and vacillate were SAT vocab.  words in my 10th grade english class.  Every time I heard either of those  words in class I laughed out loud.  Rankle reminded me of the phrase "penis  wrinkle" and vacillate reminded me of  vaseline which then made me think of  anal sex. lol, don't ask. My mind is  very silly, especially when I was in  high school. But I told my friends  Thomas and Cody this one day, and they  thought it'd be funny to make me giggle  all the time. So then Rankle and  Vacillate became like nicknames for me.  Eventually the only person calling me  these was Thomas. And in truth, he's  the only one that I will not hurt for  calling me those names today. But to be  silly and clever he came up with  Rankleate. I liked that, it made me  feel special.<br />
Now, what about the rest? you ask.  Well, Dot was my color guard nickname  when I was a junior in high school.  Everyone in guard had to have a  nickname appointed to them by our  "instructor" Leora (pron. Lee-or-uh),  a.k.a. Le'whore'a. I was a very hyper  and animated person, especially during  guard time. So she named me after the  animaniac sister Dot. I liked it,  Thomas hated/hates it. But I will  forever be known as Dot to the girls  who were in my junior year's guard.<br />
And so, in conclusion, RankleateDot is  what I got by combining my favorite  nicknames given to me.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I've just packed up all of my things  for a week at home. I've not been away  from this place for a whole week yet-  it'll probably be really weird. No  mandy, no sam, no class, no heather, no  freedom.... But then again, I do get to  go to a dance with my friends from home  and get hugs from katie putz. Lots of  food with my family, and lots of  sleeping. <br />
Oh, I think I'm going to switch my  major when i get back to school after  break. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cry.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":cry:" title="Crying" /> I can't do this much math just  to teach algebra to 13 year olds. This  place sucks all of the fun out of math <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
Blah... but back to the topic.  Hopefully I'll have time this  weekend/week to see my babies from high  school and maybe see Thomas next  weekend. I have to go to my aunt's  house sunday to tuesday to help  decorate my grammie's nursing home room  and bake cookies with her..... i dunno  how i'm gonna do with 3 days with my  aunt. It's gonna be Hellacious. But  what's gonna be even more tortuous is  when I come back to school, I have  finals. But from today, only 3 weeks  til Christmas break. We get a month  off. That will be nicer for me because  I won't feel so rushed to see everyone  in a week. But still sad cause a whole  month w/o heather or neena or sam?@#$ <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br />
Blah- I need to finish cleaning so we  can pass inspection to leave. lol,  funny huh? No ]]></description>

<br />
"Wait For Me"<br />
<br />
All these miles, haunting questions  linger in my mind. <br />
And all the while, making bad decisions  out of line. <br />
Still I've tried, to let go of the  danger in my life. <br />
It's alright, when that's the only  thing I've left behind. <br />
And there's still time... <br />
<br />
<br />
Wait for me. There's so much more of  life for us to see. <br />
You must believe, it's not because of  you I've had to leave. <br />
Wait for me. I only hope that you'll  remember me. <br />
<br />
At this time, I'm counting all the  reasons I should stay. <br />
Bottom line. I'm missing all the things  I gave away. <br />
I remind, and see your face every  single day. <br />
Still I'm blind. I wish that there was  something I could say <br />
To make things right... <br />
<br />
Wait for me. There's so much more of  life for us to see. <br />
You must believe, it's not because of  you I've had to leave. <br />
Wait for me. I only hope that you'll  remember me. <br />
<br />
Just hold on a little bit longer. <br />
Thoughts and memories will be enough <br />
My need for you is only growing  stronger. <br />
I know you don't understand it much <br />
But it doesn't mean I have to care  about you any less <br />
It doesn't have a thing to do with  that. <br />
There's still so many questions that  are gonna' be addressed <br />
I'm sorry that it had to be like this. <br />
But there's still time to make things  right. <br />
<br />
Wait for me. There's so much more of  life for us to see. <br />
You must believe, it's not because of  you I've had to leave. <br />
Wait for me. I only hope that you'll  remember me. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been such a long time since I've  seen Thomas (my best friend) and I miss  him so much..... and even though I saw  Katie Putz 2 weeks ago, I still miss  her alot. I've discovered that when you  go away to college it gets hard to keep  up with all the day-to-day things that  happen with your friends from "back  home". I miss my hugs and "eye talking"  and walks to the market. I dunno......  I just hope everything works out for  the best and everyone is happy.  Also..... Christmas break is in 4  weeks.<br />
This week - Thanksgiving Break week -  One week - then finally finals week<br />
It's gonna be nutz and busy but I get  to see my babies when I go back home  for a while. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Good thoughts ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm kind of really liking this DA  place. I was feeling really gloomy and  then some nice peeps left some really  sweet messages about some of my  deviations and even my scraps <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Kind  brings your mood up ya know?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ My BHMR babies are all goin to ACC's  today. They've done so well this  year..... first band in the history of  Brunswick to break 90 and go into ACC's  in as high of a rank as they're in. I  am so incredibly proud of them... I  only wish I could have been with them  another year. Katie, Kelly, Mandy, and  I would have had so much fun. But I'm  sure they had fun this season and are  just as sad that it's over as I was  last year. Blah.......... go babies,  kick some butt today- I hope you kill  Walkersville for the .25 at chapters!!! ]]></description>
