                <description><![CDATA[ Man, I haven't been here in so long, I forgot how to make a journal entry. Nice, huh? So, I'm writing because I found a new art form that I am decent at. By decent I mean I like 1/5 of what I come up with. Oil pastels. If there's a technique, I'm flagrantly ingnorant. But I enjoy it. I might even scan some. Keep an eye out.<br />
<br />
Also, this is a shameless plug, but I have oodles of pics all over Facebook. Just search for Melissa Grace Pedersen. I'm in college. Nothing special. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For all you non-Spanish taking people, that means Facebook. I was sucked in, but I don't mind. Oh yeah, I get a new chance to describe myself!<br />
<br />
I probably can be defined, but that doesn't mean I won't resist it. I believe double negatives exist, William Blake is a genius, and English professors should do their own homework. <br />
<br />
This is also an advanced apology for my dramatics. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ You really do like me! Yay! I have over 2500 pageviews thanks to all of you wonderful people! YAY!<br />
Oh and next Friday I get to go back to school. Yay again. Not. Actually, I'm not that down about it. I go to a great school, I have awesome friends there, & my roommate & I are going to have a kick-butt time together. The only real let-down is no Matt. On top of the old let-downs. I'll be ok, though. We both will.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ The band that my wonderful Matt plays/played guitar for will evidently be having a "reunion concert" coming up in the next future. Isn't that precious. To add to my swelling vanity, he read one of my littler known & loved poems & declared it lyrical. He wants to put music to it. I might have a song with my name on it where the composer's name goes. Doesn't that sound exciting?<br />
For a subject change, I just returned on Sunday from Omaha, Nebraska. My Oma, Mom's Mom, was put in the hospital last Friday because one side of her body was shaking. Turns out she had a tumor in her pituitary gland. The next day, Saturday, we loaded up & drove to spend a week in hot, dry, windy great plains weather. Oma left the hospital on Wednesday. She's going to be fine. God will restore her completely, she's already better than anyone else thought she would be. I knew she would be healed. Jesus' name is above all of that. She won't die fighting. I don't want her to.<br />
I'm going to marry Matt. <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20988468/">[link]</a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Life is wonderful & I'm feeling God right now. If you didn't get my email, I'm going to share it now:<br />
<br />
Hey everybody! I was reading a wonderful book today & I was compelled to call my baby sister Heather (age 13). I asked if she thought having a Bible study for her friends & the girls in Junior Youth at our church would be a good idea. I want to help them face the world & the evil desires presented by boys & girls when they return to school in August. I've never really felt anything like this before! It's a wonderful feeling. I prayed, I got her to pray, we read James 5.7-20 together (since that's the scripture that encouraged me), & we both think it's a great idea. Something like this has to be God, right? I'm convinced. I'm ready. I want you all to keep my venture & me in your prayers. I'm praying for you, as well! Thank you so much!<br />
<br />
Really, this is one of the best feeling I've felt & it's all because God is so loving. I can't believe He wants to use me. But I know it will be alright. These girls will hear of a real person's struggles with living through temptations & fighting off the desires of the flesh. Sure I've failed, but I overcame it all through Christ. I want so much to lead these girls. I pray this will bring us all closer to our Heavenly Father. God, you are beautiful. Thank you, Papa. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So here I am, last week of school being lazy. x 12. As if they thought I'd accomplish something... *mirthful chuckle* Me, get something done? Never... ^_^<br />
Wow did I have a fun weekend! Friday I went home & hung out @ my Aunt Julie/Uncle Paul/cousin Leah/cousin Lorelei/cousin Chris's house. We swam, we ate, we laughed at Heidi's purse/pope hat, we met Lorelei's boy (Ronnie, remember that), & Matt came over. I think my family (who actually spent time with him) approves. We ended up staying the night (my sisters, Ronnie & Lorelei, Matt, & I) & I actually managed to get Matt up before 7. In the morning. He's so cute when he sleeps.<br />
Heather likes him. Whoo! Yay for the approval of my baby sister!<br />
Saturday he shook hands with my mother. Then he took me to his parents's house. His sister is crazy! I love his family to death. I was actually nervous about meeting them once I got in his "vehicle" but they were so wonderful, it wasn't a problem. He took me to O'Charley's for dinner then we went to a Huntsville Stars baseball game (where we first saw each other). Isn't that sweet? He thinks of EVERYTHING! We even went to Sonic for dessert after the game! We ordered the same thing (his was bigger)! Yay for peanut butter fudge milkshakes! Do I sound like I'm in love?<br />
It's not over yet, though. Sunday I went to his baseball game (that's right, he plays baseball!) in Falkville on my way to school. I wasted 3+ hours with him that would've gotten me to school before dark but did I care? Nope. He's great. Can I marry him? We went to dinner after the game & then I was on my sad way. But not before seeing a wedding chapel in Hartselle. Yep.<br />
Anyway, I should get going. Maybe get something done or something crazy like that. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've actually gotten things  accomplished today, such as  straightening up my room (ha ha),  calling my Judson big sis & wishing her  Happy Birhtday, & spending time w/my  Judson li'l sis. Go me!<br />
I was awakened by a phone call instead  of sleeping in till 9. No big really.  But I was totally mean plus I feel like  I lied, too. I think I just wanted him  off of my case. Is that awful or what?  We had talked about it before. Is it my  fault he didn't remember? I feel what I  feel. I can't always be patient at 8:30  in the morning. I'm such a hypocrite.  I'll probably go back & explain later. I  feel like I've been reprimanded. Why?  I'm wild, wind itself. Don't make  demands of me. You may be the sky, but  I'm only passing through... these days.<br />
I'm falling in love again. With poetry.  It opens so many possibilities. For me,  I can open my heart & picture this life  or this life, this opportunity or this  one. I wonder now have I loved. My  thoughts are mostly separated from  emotion, thanks to blessed lethargy. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, here I am, back at school, going  to class, wishing my professors didn't  each think their class were the most  important & the only one I was taking. I  had 2 (count them TWO) at 10 in the  morning every day of the week, now one  is at 9. That at least is Poetry  Writing, so maybe it will keep me  grounded. Never sane. I don't have a  sane thought in my head.<br />
I keep thinking of people I should have  grown out of. Ok, one person really.  Poor Sam. She's too good to have me  drag her down. She's moved on. Got real  people in her life. Some who may come  through for her. Not someone like me  who wants to find a safe, normal, bland  existence. Sam knows that she kept  herself away from me as much as I tried  not to become to close to her. The last  thing I needed to do was to confuse  myself. Or her. She'll find better.  Found better it seems like.<br />
I know I must have hurt others of  course. That is the way with people. We  act or react selfishly, and we hurt  others. I withdrew or I pushed.  Sometimes I didn't realize. I'm far too  unaware or uncaring for the  descriptions I hear of myself. I want  things to go back to the way they used  to be. When someone pretended to love  me. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know it's a sin, but I can't help but  be proud of myself! I totally got a B+  on my first paper for Dr. Cobbs in ENG  102! I barely survived the 1st semester  of Composition w/a C thanks to Mrs.  Whisenhunt not liking my style & I not  liking the subjects I was writing about  but this is my semester baby! Writing  about literature is gonna get me a B!  Thank God I found the better professor &  praise God I can turn Kate Chopin's  unbelievably short piece into 3 pages  of a B+ that "should [have been] an A  paper"! Yay!<br />
<br />
Now for my research paper I will  procrastinate till Doomsday! i.e.  Friday... Bleh...<br />
<br />
Not true! Not true! She gave us till  Monday! I could die happy today!<br />
<br />
Oh yeah & uh I can sorta talk like my  normal self now. ]]></description>

<br />
I'm back @ school & I went to sleep last  nite @ 9~ no fooling... I even took a 2  hour nap this afternoon... I took  toilet paper into my class cuz I had  issues keeping the river of snot under  control... I feel icky...<br />

Btw, I'm so very glad to be back on!  I'll be catching up w/comments &  deviations & the like while I'm running  like mad b/w class & all the other  hassles today!<br />
<br />
~Later~<br />
<br />
I walked into the dress rehearsal last  night w/"Purpose Now," "Hamby &  Hargrave," "Save Your Opinion," &  another one I haven't posted here,  "Alone", all nice & ready to read. W/the  help of the admins Gabrielle(our very  own Ms. Judson!) I'm reading "Purpose  Now" & "Save Your Opinion" I had to do  abit of screening because "Save Your  Opinion" has language in it not  sanctioned by Judson College but it's  cool... I'm so nervous! Goodness,  what'll I do if I win?<br />
<br />
~Even Later~<br />
<br />
Arg! They post~poned it! It's been  pushed back! Ack! Grr! Poo! I'm pissed  off to the nth degree! I'm  exponentially angry! I so was excited  about tonight & they decide to set a new  date! Urrrghhhh! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Is it wrong of me to be ecstatic over  my loverly 600+ pageviews? No? Alright  then! Whoo hoo, I'm a loser w/six  hundred plus pageviews! Sweet! This  must mean you really like me, yes? Eh,  don't bother w/the "of course we like  you, we love you" comments cuz what I  say/type next may shock you... I think  I'm going to get rid of some of my more  visual deviations... Leave some room  for the written ones, ya know?<br />
<br />
Speaking of which, everyone's fave  blonde poet imposter has run into that  damned wall known as AB... I do not  speak of it; I do not say it's actual  name; I can only bring myself to use  initials do refer to the horror of the  block of artist... Even that makes me  shudder! ]]></description>

<br />
Now for my weekend, I had quite an  interesting time. Friday afternoon I  went into Selma w/my suitemate Samantha &  2 of our hallmates: Tiffany & Mya. We  did some lurking in the dollar stores &  Wal~mart... good times. Samantha & I  also bonded over Harry Potter Friday  night & Saturday afternoon~ we played  Where's Wood together! Saturday night  we watched "Where the Heart Is" before I  went & got my heart ripped from my  chest.<br />
<br />
Anyways, Sunday I went to church @ 11 &  stayed till nearly 2. They had service,  a potluck dinner, & some outreach  project where we stuffed bags  w/valentine candy & invites to Siloam.  We're gonna pass 'em out @ JC & MI to  the college kids. I curled ribbon! Then  I went to the Fowlers' (a church family  whose Momma works here) for a Super  Bowl party. Dangit, I was so sure  Carolina would win! & we came so close,  too! Eh, it's just a game, right?<br />
<br />
So this week I've got 2 tests &  a paper  to write. Then Meghan's gonna come stay  the weekend w/me! That means she gets  to see my school, my church, & my band!  Yay! We have a lock~in @ Siloam Friday  nite, so that'll be a great time to  reminisce... + there'll be food & music  so yay! I'm so excited! Pray Meghan  makes it down here safe please! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ O Happy Day! Momma got promoted! For  those of you who don't know me  intimately, my mom was previously the  assisstant director of a private  preschool known as Primrose School of  Madison (it's part of a franchise). Her  former director, Alysha Bellenfant, is  the owner's daughter & is moving to the  Primrose of Research Park. Their  director is going to be a stay~at~home  mom for a while. So... Momma got the  job as director! Whoo hoo! I'm so  excited! She's been working w/Primrose  for about 7 1/2 years & had moved from  being a infant/toddler teacher to AD in  about 3 years. Now she's head~honcho,  w/only the owners & the franchise  directors as her superiors... Way cool!  Better hours, higher pay, more  responsibility. She's gonna work her  ass off, & all of this w/only a minimal  college education! Go Momma! You've  always been my hero...<br />
<br />
Now onto sad news... There was an  accident back home involving the  puppies & unfortunately we're down to 8  now. 2 of the chocolate chicks were  hurt when one of the boards of the box  that held them in collapsed on them.  Being only a few days old, the poor  dears went quickly. Enough w/the  euphimisms, 2 of our bubpies died...  Everyone back home blames themselves...  I wish I could go home... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Last nite, I sat in our hallway~ I live  on the second floor of our dorm~ &  laughed @ everything. Someone wanted my  bag o' chips & I laughed as I tried to  stand up to walk over to give it to  them. Everyone started giving me their  root beer suckers~ cuz I'm one of 2  people on the hall that likes them~ & I  laughed as my cup overflowed w/suckers &  jelly beans~ they gave me those, too! I  laughed when I counted out how many  hours of sleep my roomie had gotten  that I hadn't... This is me when I'm  drunk, apparently also me when severely  sleep~deprived & stressed...<br />
<br />
Conclusion? If I had to be one or the  other, I'm not sure which one I'd  choose. I only have one class today tho  so... I getta catch up on sleep!  Yay~ness! Of course that also means  I'll catch up on messages & comments &  the like... Till then, ignore my random  commenty~ness for I am NOT supposed to  make sense!<br />
<br />
Oh, & while I remember, I want to  welcome my dear Meh~man to DeviantART!  I've known <a href="http://violetdemetra.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/v/i/violetdemetra.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="violetdemetra" title="violetdemetra" /></a> for almost 5 whole years  now! My bestest of the best friend, the  other 1/2 of my brain, & one of the few  people I've touched on multiple  levels... Check out her poetry,  darlings, & be nice in your comments! Or  else I'll get "grr" on you! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" />s to mah big  sis! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Bleh, I hate this last week of  school... Ok technically, today is the  last day of the 2nd to last week of  school & I'm finally noticing how hard  it is for me to keep up... Also,  outside aggravations keep piling up;  one very real & pertinent instance being  the lack of my spring schedule! I'm  only stressin' a li'l, can't ya tell?  Gah!<br />
My overall performance in nearly every  aspect of my life is being affected by  this... this... Man, I need sleep~ yet  it takes an hour to fully relax before  I can sleep. I need chocolate~ but my  stomach protests all I want to eat! I  need my Clay~ but he's about 3 1/2  hours northeasst of me...<br />
Ok, let's stop the bitch before it gets  outta control... I'll be on later... I  hope... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A week ago today, I got sick. The flu,  ya know? The doc didn't actually SAY I  had the flu, but he loaded me up  w/enough meds to make sure I didn't end  up w/it anyway. & still no flu shot. Bad  doc, bad. I got 3 days of sleep tho,  which I needed like you wouldn't  believe. Man, did I hafta work my az  off to get caught up in the classes I  missed. I'm still not exactly where I'm  supposed to be in World History but  then, no one is.<br />
& in doing that, I got behind in my  online duties. My internet obligations  suffered cuz I've been grabbing only a  few moments @ a time to type a comment  or 5. But I've got new watchers, &  plenty of time to get back in the swing  of things now so... I will. Oh, & if I  haven't responded to some of your  comments, I apologize in advance, I'm  losing touch w/my randomness~ hopefully  it's only temporary, tho.<br />
Welp, I've gotta lotta work to do so...  I'ma go do it now...! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok, so the li'l things amuse me... I  deserve a li'l lightheartedness in  light of recent events...<br />
Pbblt~ School gets in the way alot. I  don't have as much time for myself now.  It used to take me hours to think up a  good poem, usually when sitting in my  room alone & lonely. In college that  rarely happens. If I ever really felt  like getting into technical or  professional writing, I would have to  educate myself so much better, so I  need school. I would also hafta train  myself to write daily. My multiple  diaries, 1 journal, & now DA help me  w/that.<br />
On another note, I have poor health~  mostly cuz I can't take care of myself  for shit. I have sinuses that would be  under control if I would take my  medicine daily like I DON'T. Also I  have hypoglycemia~ low blood-sugar.  Probably due to a history of diabetes  in the family, unstable eating habits, &  a quick metabolism. Another blood  problem is my anemia, which I can  usually handle, especially since now  all I eat in the dining hall is salad.  Or, I could take my daily vitamins if I  were responsible... but I'm not.<br />
& I found out how to include icons now!  So... why not go for it? I especially  wanna thank <a href="http://reina-chan.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/e/reina-chan.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="reina-chan" title="reina-chan" /></a> for her hilarious icons  that cause me to reply before I can  think of what I'm saying.<br />
I found <a href="http://kendrak.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/e/kendrak.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="kendrak" title="kendrak" /></a> through reina-chan & vice  versa. Anna & Derrick both are talented  artists worthy of many comments!<br />
Also through Anna came <a href="http://trytowish.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/r/trytowish.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="trytowish" title="trytowish" /></a> who  incidentally is also a Melissa! How fun  is that?! She's a great artist, also.  Check her out!<br />
I want to include <a href="http://alip123.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/alip123.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="alip123" title="alip123" /></a> cuz she found me,  not the other way around.<br />
Soon after AliP came <a href="http://emy13144.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/m/emy13144.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="emy13144" title="emy13144" /></a> whom I suspect do  this often~ find an artist & make her  feel worth her salt by commenting on  her work...<br />
& of course, the first person to + me is <a href="http://opiateburn.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/o/p/opiateburn.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="opiateburn" title="opiateburn" /></a>  & I adore his photography! Go, worship!<br />
I found <a href="http://tim-the-sorceror.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="tim-the-sorceror" title="tim-the-sorceror" /></a> like... the day I signed up...  He's hella good & hella funny! Now go  look, read, now!<br />
I saw <a href="http://lafhaha.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/a/lafhaha.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="lafhaha" title="lafhaha" /></a> while tryin' ta get DA to work  for me. More funny stuff & beautiful  works, too. Such talent deserves  immediate attention!<br />
A fellow 'bama girl w/way more talent  than I is <a href="http://aiyiko.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/i/aiyiko.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="aiyiko" title="aiyiko" /></a> w/her life~like portraits. I  mean, damn is she GOOD!<br />
I've only read a few of <a href="http://milpalabras.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/i/milpalabras.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="milpalabras" title="milpalabras" /></a> poems & only a  few more of her prose pieces, but even  tho my comments didn't go thru, they're  hella good! Read people!<br />
All the above make me jealous w/their  talent & I'm glad to say encourage me to  be better! I <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> each & everyone of them &  will be stalking them forEVER!<br />
& here's my great commission, go find a  random DA artist & comment! That's how  ya make friends, people! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "Spartans, stoics, heroes, saints and  gods use a short and powerful speech."  -Ralph Waldo Emerson<br />
Good man. At least when it comes to the  Queen who sends me 6 quotes every  mother-lovin' mornin'. 2nd time this  week I got an Emerson quote. Must mean  something to someone.<br />
Melissa needs to do her homework. Next  week she's got mid-terms. Tomorrow's  she's also got a Precalculus Algebra  test. Week from upcomin' Tuesday her  World History portfolio's due. Has she  been keepin' up w/it? Crap no!<br />
Hm... I see homework in your future  Missa Grace... so get ta work! I see  you daydreamin' 'bout that crazy boy of  yours... What would your mother say if  she knew you were neglecting your  homework? Behave yourself... Don'tcha  wanna go home, babe?<br />
Thanks for lettin' me rant. Now, go do  your portfolio homework. Or else. So  says the muse. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/poetess.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":poetess:" title="Poetess" /> ]]></description>

After that, do  your homework! & finally babe, do  something equally productive for your  school career! The world is yours if  you have the energy to do. Go claim it! ]]></description>

Um... if I  can make one up, sure. I can tell a  story about how I found religion. I've  got a lot of those. Or I can tell one  about my sisters cuz they're hella  funny. But... if anyone's got any  suggestions I've got till 8am Weds  morning to figure something out. ]]></description>
