Hey Peoples!

My stars, last night was such a blast! I had a Peanut Festival non-acoholic hang-over this mornin', but that's okay. I'm not goin' to the concert tonight, because I'm going to bed around 7:00 or 8:00. I would bleat and pout and twist and shout about the 6:30 leaving time... but c'mon, it's THE BEACH and BLUE ANGELS. I'm so ready.

I learned the coolest things in science today. Stuff about ionic names and formulas and covalent names and formulas. It was the uttmost super element of my school day.

Anyhow, I have love to spread in other places.

I DARE YOU TO MOVE!

Wow, I almost forgot how to do this! Love the new layout.

Well, after lotsa lessons on journaling from Matt t. I'm happy to say that I will be making a happy entry everyday now. (If I can find the time in my oh-so busy schedule) 

So I was thinking, what's up with my downess? I mean, could I make myself undown by being happy? Or at least trying to be happy? Isn't that brainwashing? Or maybe it's just influencing myself to be happy. I've heard that if you fake happinesss, you'll be happy. (Or you could just eat ice cream for lunch, which is my plan for today.)

Okay, so I miss Brandon oh-so much. I've been hanging with Emily, Stephanie, and Jason a lot lately. And I love them to life. But I think Brandon kinda keeps me happy. (Maybe happy should be the word of the day) No, seriously, he does. Stephanie makes me peppy. Emily makes me peppy. Jason makes me... uh...  peppy and aggravated. But Brandon and I are so different and so much alike at the same time that he doesn't make me peppy. He brings out all of my happiness and creativity at the same time. ("At the same time" should be the phrase of the day.) So when ever you get 'round to it, Barbie, you can shed a tear for this tribute to you.

I should be typing endless reports and files and other red baloons, but this is so much more fun. I wonder when we're going to get ceilings in my school.

Well, instead of dwelling on the yuckiness of today, I'll think about Thursday. We go to the fair on Thursday. I can't wait to see all the ceramics and photographs. *Very peppy and excited voice* And ride all the rides with Stephanie #1. We want to be slung around and sloshed around until we can hardly walk. Then we'll take a break and eat a elephant's ear. Then we're comin' back for more! Moohoohahahaha!

Saturday will be a blast also, a really loud and pretty blast. (Plus, it's AT THE BEACH!) I'm so excited I could skip. I might have to pull a *smile and twist* with Brandon and his parents, but maybe I could stand on the beach for more than 8 seconds this time. Just seeing the beach will almost be enough though. Almost. But I'll be back! Becasue my dad still owes me an all-day-beach-a-thon.

Anyhow, I've drained my brain of all it's thoughts. I'll try to think some more by tomorrow.

Peace out (And Rock on for the people with no dying grandpa's in rockin' chairs)

LOVE 2 Steph 1, Em, Jase, Parafyllintinia, and moomy.

I keep trying to find a light on my own apart from You. I am the king of excuses. I’ve got one for every selfish thing I do. What’s going on inside of me? I despise my own behavior. This only serves to confirm my suspicions that I’m still a man in need of a Saviour.

I want to be in the light. As You are in the light. I want to shine like the stars in the heavens. Oh Lord be my life and be my salvation. All I want is to be in the light.

The disease of self runs thru my blood. It’s a cancer fatal to my soul.  Every attempt on my behalf  has failed to bring this sickness under control.

Honestly becomes me. There’s nothing left to lose. The secret the did run me in Your presence I refuse.

"Oh to grace how great a debtor daily I'm
constrained to be. Let Thy goodness like a fetter bind my wondering heart to Thee. Prone to wonder, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love. Take my heart, O take and seal it. Seal it for Thy courts above."
