hanging out in the fancy bars, with the boys who play guitars. thought that I had to warn ya, she's gonna make it out to California.

bottom drawer is top of my heart.

with straw-like hair
and chlorine sweat,
she hasn't felt this
beautiful in years.

the sun shines through
her heart, like a laser
on a fish.

too long she has wondered
what it'd be like to go
back to that life,
for too long
has she missed it.

it used to be an obligation,
something that must be done.
it used to be just to see
friends, the only true ones.
it used to be to not disappoint;
everyone was counting on her.

now she realizes its part of
her, it's whats been missing
for years.
its what makes her happy.
its what makes her, her.

I feel like I'm an apparition's pet.

I've finally been assigned a graphic design project that I really liked. We were allowed to pick any cd we wanted, and we could redesign their album cover. It took me a while to pick one, which this should have been my first choice, but in the end, I'm very happy with what I came up with. The image itself is a painting that I did last semester for Brandon's birthday, that I scanned/photographed and used digitally. That was in interesting process in and of itself. Brandy even called it gorgeous, which has NEVER happened. :)

And on top of all that greatness, today was a wonderful day. We had the ResEd brunch this morning, which was really nice, and they gave us a bunch of fun things. My mother then came up and took me, Kat, Anna and Alyse to Ellie's for lunch, and we just all talked, and had good food. Then I was productive for a few hours, then went to Kim White's house. She is so awesome, and I'm so lucky to have someone like her in my life. She's such a blessed person, with such great insight about so many things. After that I had my program, late night breakfast. It was pretty successful, and the pancakes weren't half bad.

I hope that my life will just keep improving like this. I need to take things day by day and appreciate what I have in my life. Stop worrying about the future, and just live in the moment. Oh life. ♥

get down from your tree house, sittin' in the sky.

my new favorite place. :)

I've been walking for a thousand miles, one last time, I could see you smile.

This is my beautiful friend Anna, she has a wonderful heart.

stay with me, you're the one I need.

I just had to write a paper about how to "improve decisions about wealth", meaning material wealth, and planning for retirement. I'm very proud of my paper, and here's my closing sentence:

Money comes and goes, but there are things, opportunities, chances in this life that come and go, and we can’t pass them up because we are worried about our financial future and where our next paycheck is coming from.

My teacher is going to hate me. :)
