I received an acceptance letter
from Oakland University today. My mom came in the house with the mail and stuck this letter from OU in my hand and said, “This little letter came from Oakland in the mail today, but since it’s so tiny, I don’t think it’s your admissions letter. You can open it though, and let me know, just in case it is.”
Right away I pretty much knew what it was, I just didn’t...
SO TRUE!
Me: There are a lot of older bands that are coming out with new albums this fall.
Dad: Oh yeah, like who?
Me: Umm, Heart, Alice In Chains, Aerosmith, and there's tons more, but I just can't think of them all at the moment. Hah.
Dad: That's because most of the music you hear these days is awful.

Boy B- I probably will never ever mention him because he pretty much fell off the face of the earth.
The kind that just kind of fall off the face of the Earth are the best kind though. :P

It's with deep regret and sadness that I post this
Oasis broke up the other day. :( I signed on to my computer this morning, happily drinking my orange juice and ready to plow my farm on facebook, when the Yahoo! news section popped up. The story was one of the top 4, and of course it was partially responsible for wrecking my day. I say partially due to the fact that my day wasn’t fantastic for another reason, but I’ll reach that...
The poem that inspired my blog name
A few people were wondering how it was that lead me to name my tumblr with the name I did. It was actually inspired by a poem by Theodore Roethke. I had read it once before, but what really made brought it to my attention was when we read it in my Honors English 11 class this year. Mr. Hanley passed it out and said he found it at Roethke’s grave. He wasn’t sure who had left it there,...
For reasons still unknown
I was in a nostalgic mood earlier, so I decided to go through last year’s school yearbook and read the comments people wrote about me. To be honest, I didn’t pour over them in the same manner that I normally would in previous years, so this was only my second time reading them thoroughly. And the thing is, it really started sinking in for me that I’m going into my senior year,...
Life isn't always so easy, you know
In addition to being asked about the genres of literature I read and where I want to attend college after graduation, I’m often grilled about what I want to major in. As I’ve indicated before, I have a huge desire in studying English/Writing/Literature at Eastern. There is even a major that is combined as the three I listed above, so it’s perfect. But whenever I tell people who...

I’ve been trying to accomplish a good amount of AP Psych homework before orientation on the 25th, and for about four days I wasn’t really able to go online more than ten minutes because the basement flooded. I’ll start going back to tumblr fairly regularly.

OH YEAH AND I TALKED TO CHRISTIANI TODAY
I miss her! She just got home from her mission’s trip and decided to call me and tell me how it went. I love talking to her on the phone. Our phone conversations are rare, but they’re always an hour and a half of catching up. And you can always tell it’s her on the other end when you answer, even though I never recognize the number. Her voice is so happy and it literally makes me...
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
Megan went off to band camp early this morning. She was crying when I said good bye to her, and I guess my mom said she cried the whole ride there too. I feel…well, bad for her. I know “bad” isn’t a specific mood or word, but I really do feel bad for her. A friend of mine that’s up there said it’s exhausting work, and that already twenty of the freshmen have...
Just a general update, I suppose
Tonight I’ve been feeling really nervous and anxious for some reason. Usually I have an explaination behind having a clenched stomach, being unable to focus on one thing for more than five minutes, and sometimes even the pacing. But tonight I have no good reason to supply at all. I tried listening to my iPod, but I change the song twenty seconds in. I tried reading, but I’ve...

I love babysitting the little kids at church
Josh: I love Transformers!
Me: That's neat! Have you seen the new movie?
Josh: No, that's for adults. I watch the Transformers cartoon instead.
Me: Ahh, good point!
Josh: And I like Monsters Inc. too. I watched it last night. That's not a movie just for adults.
Me: I like Monsters Inc. too, it's a cool Disney movie.
Josh: You like Monsters Inc. even though it's not for adults?
Me: Umm...yeaaa?
Josh: ...Ohhh!

Time for a weekly update
Right now the house is still and quiet for once, but it’s because my mom, sister and brother are at Dairy Queen, so I decided I should take advantage of the peace and update this.
You seriously have no idea how close I come everyday to deleting my tumblr. I have nothing interesting going on in my life for right now, or nothing worth noting in an online blog anyhow. I figured I should keep...
Stolen from facebook: My Life According To Nirvana
Using only song titles from ONE BAND/ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to 15 people you like and include me. You can’t use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It’s a lot harder than you think! Repost as “My Life According to: (band/artist name).”
I KNOW THAT A FEW OF THESE ARE COVERS, NOT ORIGINALS. FOR SOME I JUST PUT IN WHATEVER WORKED.

Random things to do before summer ends:
1. Visit Record Times with Melissa and Caitlin. 2. See “My Sister’s Keeper” at the movie theaters. 3. Have a movie day with Caitlin and Melissa. We’ve been putting it off since April or May because we’re all so busy. xD 4. Hang out with Christiani, Maria, and Julie at the same time again. This might be hard considering how busy they can all be a different times...
Recap from Tuesday until this very moment
On Tuesday I went swimming at Julie’s house. Her pool is heated, but we were still cold, so we just floated around for the most part. After we got out of the pool we wanted to play her brother’s Wii, only she had to pay him 2 dollars to get the pin code just to play the game. I still say I wouldn’t have paid him, but ah well. Then we looked through her music library on the...
Those truth blogs everyone is doing on myspace:

Sometimes I wish
I could get everything over with, once and for all. Like getting up every morning and washing my hair, and drying it. I can’t stand looking in the mirror at my hair, especially my bangs. They grow too fast and they always look stringy and greasy, even though I shower every single day. I wish I could dye or highlight my hair too, but money does kind of make the world go ‘round in this...
This is what the conversation consists of when I...
Me: So how long would you last in a fight against Chuck Norris on that facebook quiz?
Brandon: I got 45 seconds!
Me: Hah, I got a full minute somehow.
Brandon: BS! What the eff!
Me: Gee, thanks.
Brandon: We're gonna fight soon!
Me: We can use the Wii boxing game I have.
Brandon: Pick a time and a place! And isn't it past your bedtime youngster? It's 10:30!
Me: YOU'RE YOUNGER THAN I AM!
Brandon: But I look older!
Me: Says who?
Brandon: Meeee.
My tumblarity
just shot down from 35 to 20 in about ten minutes flat. How is that even possible?
My new iPod came in yesterday!
They called it in while I was still sleeping, and I woke up to my sister saying, “Your iPod is hereeee.” For once, I didn’t mind waking up to that shrill annoying voice. My mom took me to the Apple store after dropping Matthew off at school. The lady handed it over to me in (and I kid you not) a small little baggy just big enough to hold the tiny pink iPod. And, in case there was...
Eeek
Life would be easier if It didn’t require unnecessary drama =/
Someone emailed this to me today
And I thought it was so funny and want to share it with everyone on here:
FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THE PHILOSOPHY OF AMBIGUITY

A lot has taken place in the past few days. If you’re on my MySpace, you are aware that about a week ago I posted an honesty blog titled, “What do I REALLY think of you?” All it asks for is for someone to leave their name, and I reply with what I truly think of them. If you know me at all, you know that on the Internet or not, I’m never afraid to...
Facts about myself I've only recently discovered
A good portion of them aren’t exactly positive qualites, I’m embarassed to admit:
1. I can be very impatient, and I’m no longer the laid back, “go with the flow” kind of girl I once was. I always have to be out the door early, and I feel like I’m wasting my life by just sitting around… 2. Which could explain why I’m so tired sometimes. It...

Just finished,
Going through my library. Stephanie deleted more songs than I thought she did, and most of the good ones are now gone. I am in deep need of some CD’s from anybody. If you have any music from any of the artists under my music section on myspace, please help me out! I would really appreciate it. I’ll return the favor somehow when my playlist gets built up again, or with the little music...
This life;
elizahbethhh:
I’ve always wondered why I am I living. I mean like what am I living for. God, my family, friends, I’m not just going to commit suicide because I’m bored with this life, music, art, photograhy, writing, thinking, and then I started thinking about my future…Live to love. I’m living to love.
I’m not living to hate. I’m not living to be hated. I’m living to find love, be love, and to...
There must be
something I can do. I feel like my words are so repeatitive though. I say them with meaning but words only go so deep, and they heal wounds slowly. I just wish I could wave my arm and take all the pain and hardship away. You don’t deserve it, at all. I would switch places with you if I had the chance. I would change the situation if I had the power. I would erase the scars if I had an eraser...
My iPod isn't working well
So I have to take it in to the Apple store at Partridge Creek so they can determine the official problem tomorrow. I’m hoping they don’t take it and ship it off to be fixed. Melissa said her brother’s DS had that problem and it was gone for three weeks. I can’t handle not listening to music on the go for three weeks. The thing is I listen to it at home too: in my room,...
