Three Things from the Chatt State Library

Well more than three, I lied.
Projects list-expect it tomorrow, and Mrs. Mindy, I have not finished the pillow yet. *blush* (I'm hanging my head in shame) I'm pretty sure Micah is going to get that sometime in the summer...oh well.
Okay on to the things:
1) I'm in such a folk music phase it's not even funny. Seriously. Not funny.
2) I'm wearing a Courtney Marie Andrews T-shirt! If you don't know who that is, look her up and listen to Oh the Blue or It's okay I understand. Those are my favorites.
3) I'm wearing a cozy sweater and rainboots. There's nothing like that warm, dry feeling when it's chilly and wet.
*bonus* I found a tripod in my house, it might just work for my camera. So yeah, solo picture adventures may commence asap (act swiftly awesome pachyderm)

And one last thing.
I've been hankering to go to Arizona. I went there November of 08. But I feel like it's home. ASU is the one college that I would be tempted to move far far away for.
Okay. Have a great day. Keep it sunshiny even thought it's grey outside.
Well that was cheesy.

curly top.

Right now, you cannot see my head.BUT if you could, you would see some curly hair sticking out from under a hat. and if I took off that hat. Boy oh boy. You'd see an absolutely Annie-like fro.
Prom is this Friday, and since my hair is shaggy and BADLY in need of a trim, I decided to curl it. So I tested it out. And after it relaxes...which takes...a while, it looks quite nice. So we'll see.

ANYWHO
I am in the Chatt state library again today because my dad and I have started to ride to school/work together in the mornings. I quite like being up before the sun is.

I happen to have my journal, and I found something to share. I'm not quite sure if I want to develop it as a story or leave it as a short snippet of poetryishness. What do you think?

Sometimes she would pull out the sweet letters of the months and years gone by.
All the while thinking, This is our love
Every note felt like a specter from the past.
They reminded her of a happiness she had not felt since he had left this world.
Ghosts of things that had been crowded into the small bedroom.
Two cold tears fell from her eyes-"Calm, wondrous eyes" as described in one letter.
They rolled down her cheeks.
One was caught in a crease on her face-a crease made from countless smiles and frequent laughter.
The other tear slid over her lips-lips that once held a welcoming, friendly grin, but now were continually pursed in thoughtfulness.
The clouds rolled into the sky as she stared out her foggy window,
And a soft pulse was created by the falling rain.

Do you like it? I'm not quite sure how I feel about it...
Have a nice, sunny Thursday!

Oh, three things from Chatt state:
1)yesterday I had a lovely time at Starbucks with two friends. One new, one old.
2)I'm seriously considering getting a perm.
3) If I don't get a perm, I'm going to cut my hair like this

Sigh

today didn't start well...

I had a crazy dream, where in my dream I was talking about how loud my crickets were in the back yard...when in fact, that was my alarm. That I slept straight through.

Oh my stars.

So when at 7:20 (when I usually leave for school) my brother knocked on the door and came in, I immediately sat up and uttered (oh-so-gracefully) "OH CRAP". I threw on clothes and grabbed and apple and a box of triscuits (breakfast of champions) and jumped in my father's car.

I hope today gets better.

Actually I know it will. I just got onto my math homework site thing, and I'm going to finish a section before class-that makes me happy. Ah and later, I'm going to covenant to look at my teacher's artwork. That makes me really happy. So there, my day will get better.

anyway, here's three things from the library:

1) THIS is one of my favorites of Walker Evans. He did a whole series on a subway and if you ever see the book "Many are Called" that's where you can see them. They're great.
2) I got to go to starbucks this morning with my dad. =)
3) I love Grizzly Bear Go listen.

Alright lovelies, have a great day.

A few thoughts from...

you guessed it, the Chatt state library...why am I always here?

Thought #1) I smell like developer, stop, and fixer combined. Yuck. but it was so worth it!
#2) I've been thinking (oh no...) Okay, so this morning my youth pastor randomly (what's new? =]) spouts out "Oh, by the way, my sister's dying."

WHAT? By the way!?

So apparently, she has had many many problems in the past and was put in a group home for mentally impaired people. She had a brain-tumor removed, and a cyst (sp?) grew where the whole was. She's having a brain surgery next week. My youth pastor told us all this at starbucks this morning, completely honest, completely normal, unflinching. We prayed for him and Faith 9the name of his sister) when it was my turn, I teared up and it was all I could do to not cry...how is he dealing with this?
The thing I've been thinking about is, is it better that a person like that dies? What is God going to do with that person if they live?
Thought #3) our computer is slowly but surely completely dying...I hope it lives a little longer.

Anyway, have a great rest of the day...and please pray for Faith.

3 (fast) things from the chatt state library

okay, thing numer uno, I (basically passed but) FAILED a math test, AGAIN! What the heck?! is this going to be a regular thing for me? There WERE only 16 questions...but still....UGH. so I have to study like CRAZY so I can retake it tomorrow, before the chapter is closed...UGH.

#2, I woke up this morning with a super super super bad headache and couldn't go to sleep. I still have the headache.....UGH

#3. Wade Johnston & the Navigators (his band) had a photoshoot. It's pathetic and uncreative. The band's great, the photographer's stupid (check it out for yourself HERE )

Okay I'm late for Math...I am so confused about this class. I sit in class forever talking about super easy stuff, then I go fail tests.

Adios

Some thoughts from the Chatt State Library

Ugh, well today started off not so good. First of all, remember when I flunked that test last week? Well, I get a chance to retake it! I was going to study and take it today but I forgot my student Id...so....yeah

Ah I'm also completely exhausted due to some incredibly late nights and early mornings for the past week.

Oh, ( last thing...sorry) I'm also wearing this ridiculous necklace that I got from my friends. They dared me to wear it...so I am. I look pretty eccentric today.

Alright, I'm going to do some math. I'll review and study and such so that on Tuesday, I will TAKE my test. And it will be great...I hope.

Talk to you later, dears.
