I believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men... I believe all things, I hope all things, I have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things.  If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, I seek after these things.

Just Once

I want to take one set of finals without my life falling apart.  Just one.  Aren't the stress of finals enough?  Do I really need this added stress every.  freaking. time?

I feel stupid - but I know it won't last for long. You don't know me now, I kinda thought that you should somehow.  I feel stupid but it's something that comes and goes.  I've been changin' - think it's funny how now one knows.  So why ya gotta stand there looking like the answer now?  I feel stupid - but I think I been catchin' on.  I feel ugly - but I know I still turn you on.  You seem colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around.  So are you gonna stand there?  Are you gonna help me out?  You need to be together now.  Now I'm cryin' - isn't that what you want?  At times - I do believe I am strong.  So someone tell me why do I feel stupid?

I need you now.  Do you think you can cope?  You figured me out - I'm a child and I'm hopeless, bleeding and broken - though I've never spoken.

The Northern Lights Will Make You Cry

And people have told me how to be happy, but I find their remedies empty.

Thursday, December 2

I am not the only one who has ever been cornered, and suddenly God splits the sea.
I am not the only one who has needed a Savior and prayed for the one who can save me.
I am not the only one who has ever been friendless and lost in a wilderness place.
I am not the only one who's been rescued by mercy in exchange for my silvers of perfect faith.
I'm not the only one.

And if the moon can turn the tides
It can pull the tears and take 'em from our eyes
And make 'em into monsoons

My Backyard





My life was pretty idyllic this summer. I playied with my little sister a lot, so my days were filled with chalk, bubbles, hopscotch, and swings.


I asked my sister what her favorite kind of flower is. She said "Root beer flowers!" I didn't believe her, but we really do have flowers that smell like root beer!

During elementary school, I planted a tree for Arbour Day. Mom killed most of them, but somehow one managed to survive. I'm pretty proud.

Home

I really hated my hometown growing up. Mostly because I lived here for fourteen years. I don't remember living anywhere else. However, after I came home from college, I realized how much I love this little town, not just because of the memories, but also because it is so green and cute. Other towns have plants, but they look too perfect and planned. These plants seem more natural. I also love the trees because they are big and, again, they seem real. Our city is the perfect blend between small town and industrialized. The center of town has 100 year-old buildings and family-owned donut shops, but on the outside edge are all the fast food restaurants and gas stations you need.

I love this video. It leaves me feeling happy and wanting to be a much better person.

It rocks

I really really love Cake.

I remember the first time I heard Short Skirt/Long Jacket. I fell in love with it immediately. And I think this is the most clever music video in the world.


And I love this song also. Almost entirely because of this video.


Cake has been my favorite band for years. I stopped listening to it when I came to college because I didn't want my roommate to judge me. However, a car ride last night reminded me of Cake's awesomeness.
