Cut it out, cut it out
I know it's what you're wanting to say
Burning up, burning up
I know why you're feeling this way
There's an ache you can't erase
A yearning that you can't replace
And you want Him, and you need Him
But you act like He's not there
Yeah, you know that you're hollow
And something's missing here
So you push and you pull the hole in your soul
But you can't make the hunger disappear
You got a rusted out lock on your door
Getting ready to break
You've held back love long enough
I think it's time to cave
You're waiting for a sign
The fact is faith is blind
Do you want to spend your whole life jaded?
Stuck in a rut that you created
Why don't you break the cycle?
Let love win

Hello all. So long time, eh? Yeah, most definitely. With summer being here and all I thought that I would have no better time than now to update, no?
Alright. So summer has been petty awesome so far. I've been working a lot. Which has come out pretty okay since I got a promotion! w00t! I'm working on being a shift manager. Pretty awesome. I think so at least. I'm going to get a haircut sometime soon.
Also, I went to URCC Summer Teen Camp last week (June 23- 27) and it was absolutely amazing. BG, Ian, Oliva, Emily, Taylor, and Samuel went, also Christian, a new girl who came through connections with Eric Thomson, and her friend Grace. Christian came to know Jesus throughout the course of the week which was really really amazing. God broke a few, very needed (mine is included in that), hearts and brought us to our knees (though it sounds pretty harsh, which sometimes it can be, it really isn't that bad). REALLY amazing week. Neil Hatfield and BJ were really awesome speakers that just seemed to shoot right through me. God knew.
Anyway right now I'm watching really dumb videos for the Bell with some really lame spanish girl. When ever she comes up Maroon 5's "She will Be loved" comes up. Really dumb. Anyway I've got a really long day ahead of me tomorrow and I need sleep. Perhaps I'd remember to do this again later? I hope so.
-Peace Out.

The Secret
The minuscule drops plummeted to the ground.
The drops were dancing all around.
A little ladybug licks a drop on the leaf,
But in doing so it caused her tongue much grief.
"Yuck!" the little ladybug cried.
"What's the matter?" said a beetle that had pried.
'Who is this?' the ladybug though.
Babbling was the beetle blue, "Look what I've brought."
What he brought was something new,
What he brought that beetle blue.
The beetle brought a box to show.
Clang! The snowy box fell as the rain did grow.
The ladybug drew a quirk at him.
"What have you brought my acquainted friend?"
"What is in my box is a secret to me,
If I tell you, quiet and silent you'll have to be."
The ladybug made a quick nod.
"Like a stagnant disease, your secret will nod go abroad."
The beetle smiled and told her,
"I will not tell you my secret, no matter how much the worth."
"It doesn't matter, 'cause I don't care."
"I know you do, way down deep inside there."
He said as he pointed to her gut.
With this she replied, "But but, bu-"
He cut her off with a broad hand.
The beetle thought to himself, 'That's not what I had planned.'
"I told you you're not seeing it."
"The you best leave and quit."
"If that's what you wish my dear lady friend,
I will leave and this is the end."
He picked up the box and walked away.
To him this was an accomplishment on this day.
For only he knows what's in this box.
The beetle let out a quiet chuckle and his neck he did cock.
No one would ever know that his box didn't hold a thing.
Like a black hole, of no good is all it ever brings.
The beetle was a fox, delightfully continuing on his stroll.
He really didn't achieve much, even as a whole.
Seeing as the ladybug didn't really care much.
She didn't care about his box, foolishness and such.
The beetle opened his box and laughed.
He enjoyed this craft,
This making people think.
The beetle stuck his tongue out in the rain and took a drink.
"My day is done for now." He thought in his head.
"I am so tired...I'm going to bed."
So he went to bed and never did see that ladybug ever again.
It truly was the end.
^_^;; Wrote that in eighth grade. So awfully fourth graderish. Sad thing is , I would write something like that today. ^^;;;;
I Love you Kitty.

Don't you hate it when you're someplace you've always known and felt comfortable in, but out of the blue, people there constantly make you feel like an outcast or like you're always doing something wrong? Me too.
Anyway, so things in church are picking up quite splendidly. Youth group is going over rather well with Josh in place as the new Youth Pastor, unofficially anyway. Numbers aren't up as high as when Robbie and Sam were here, yet though. When school starts they should pick up. (We only have like three regular guys that come ^_^;; ) We have divided the youth into four teams for planning things. Red, deals with the financial part of youth and the fund raising, business portion mostly. Brittany G is the Co-Captain. Blue, deals with all of the fun things that we do as a youth group. Kaitlyn Thompson is the Co-Captain there. Green, the service portion. They help plan the stuff that makes us a youth group, the part where we go and cut peoples grass or whatever. Ian is Co-Captain there. And Finally, the Yellow Team. My Team. =] We deal with the deep stuff of youth. The spiritual things like devotional/small groups and whatnot. ^_^ I'm the Co-Captain. I don't know how that happened. (I've gotten a buttload of leadership type of positions lately. ^_^;; Lots of responsibility) But I'm awful excited about getting to have a say in the things that we do anymore. It's going to be amazing, really. Kaitlyn Burroughs is on the yellow team with me. It's the smallest group. Like two or three members short of all the others. I guess I like it that way. The Pastor's wife Wanda, she's lots nice, is the Captain. I'm glad that someone that I don't like that I shouldn't name =) isn't the captain.
Band. Band. Band. Band. Boring.
Tyler called me the other day. I only have band and one other class with him. Like with Will, All of our classes were the same except one, I don't know how I didn't get more with either of the two. =( So lame. I don't know exactly how this year is going to go. I'll be 18 in February. That's pretty crazy. For a while I didn't exactly care to grow up anymore than I had to, but recently I am so ready for freedom from certain things at home. I'm sick of things, one in particular, but that's not the sole reason. Everything really anymore annoys me. Guess I can't complain too much. At least I do have a place to live and food to eat. Some people don't even have that. I'm blessed that much at least.
Oh yeah. And I have an amazing sister that's always there for me around the house.
I miss Kitty lots. I'm not supposed to talk to him outside of band. Totally gay, but even if it wasn't, I think that enough is enough, ya know? Our two year is a little over a week away and chances are, I'm not going to be able to see him except in school.
Man.. I think that I've ranted on and on about nothing enough ^_^;; Don't you?

So band's been a hassle anymore. Farley has his moments where he annoys the crap out of me. Others I seem to ignore him. My entire section seems to think he's gay. ^_^;; I don't know. Could be. Anyone could be really. Wouldn't change how annoying he is at times.
Anyway, if you haven't heard the new song "Running Free" by Coheed and Cambria, get on it. Like now. It's so amazing. I have no idea how many times I've listened to it just since I've been home. ^_^;; It's so nice.
I had cheezy tots for lunch. They're amazing too.
I gotta work tonight. Sucks cause it's Wednesday. The day that I asked off for all eternity for. =) I gots Friday off though. I suppose that's nice. Saturday too. Gotta work sunday after sunday school though. -_-;;

Boy, oh boy. I've started work at Taco Bell. It's boring, kinda. For the most part. I like it though. It keeps me busier that I would be if I were just at home. it's not been too bad. I washed dishes all day yesterday. But I've realized that I've got it better than the other new guy, Ian. He takes out trash and does all the "manly" things. He seems nice. I've decided.
Next week is band camp. That's exciting I suppose. The new director seems to have a stick up his tail half of the time, but overall I guess he's not too bad. Considering what we could have, anyway. But Mrs. Berkley is still there. She's nice. Keeps things in line. Specially since half of the band doesn't seem to respect Mr. Farley fully, yet. Band camp could be okay. I'm not sure if I'm going to like it yet.
Oh yeah. I have this huge thirty-page front and back packet on leadership to read. Holy cow. I'm the slowest reader ever. That was totally due yesterday. ^_^;; I didn't turn it in, nor did he ask for it, so oh well. Daddy was in the hospital anyway. He came home last night. I'm glad he's doing better.
-I love you Kitty.

Today I went to Hot Topic in Lynchburg to get that Hello Kitty blanket that I have been wanting so bad, but just my luck, they were all sold out. -_-;; I did get a really cute Hello Kitty Super Cute wallet and a Hello Kitty necklace though. And they had Hello Kitty toys at McDonalds. Can you guess where we ate? =) I got a Hello Kitty pencil set. I got Kayla's too. She was super nice today. Like, she paid for my gas ($30 worth) and paid for half of the wallet and necklace, without me asking. We went into one of those photobooths and took pictures. I like them lots. 
So that was pretty much my day. I watched Brother Bear 2 since the satellite was out because of the rain. It was a pretty okay movie. Wasn't anywhere NEAR as good as the first on though.

So yeah. Today. A fun filled day of cleaning at home. I got to scrub out the kiddie pool with a sponge on my hands and knees for three hours. Loads of fun. And Mom's brought up the point that I don't have time for a job between now and band camp. And band itself really. So doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon. With my luck we're going to end up going shopping in some mall somewhere on the WV mission trip. No money for that. Bet they'd have a Sanrio store if we did go too. Ah well. Mission trips are always loads of fun. (Not sarcastic that time) I'm really excited. They're only eight youth going. =\ ugh. Way to represent, guys, really. The youth that are going should be fun to hang with though. This is going to be a good chance to bond with some of the other kids in the youth that I don't talk to, Becky and Hannah mostly. Not that there's anything wrong with them. I like them lots. Just haven't really talked much to them. Kaitlyn Burroughs, Samuel, Brittany, Kayla and myself are the others that are going. Aw, Samuel is the only boy going. ^_^ Poor thing. At least he'll be with the "love of his life" ^^ He's crushin' on Kayla. Lots cute I think. But there's also a slight chance that Chris'll be going. Very slim though. He's in South Carolina and they've already sent off the papers for it. I hope that he goes. He's lots nice. :)
Youth is going to be exciting I think. Josh is letting us have more of a say so on things that are going to be going on. That's the way it should be I think. He's pretty cool. He hasn't ministered to us yet. And won't until next Wednesday. Tomorrow is Independence Day. No churchuns.
Oh gosh. I almost forgot. -_-;; The parents want to go camping this weekend. I'm SO planning on being sick if possible. I remember the last camping trip. SO awful. Jay and Nicole might be going though. Eh. whatev. :) (I roomed with Kaitlyn Thompson at camp. I picked up a few things ^^;; )

Went to the Thompson's house yesterday after an Ice Cream Social at church. I saw both Carrie AND Jaysha. (My day was pretty much made.) Anyway, we went over around eight thirty. Stayed up until like twoish. We watched Friends, ate, played hide-n-seek (In the dark), wrestled/pillow fought, played freeze tag at like midnight, and talked a lot. (We don't like Bert anymore :) ) Had to come home around ten though. -_-;; I really hate this house sometimes. I didn't get to do the blood drive like I wanted to either. Sucks. But we did go swimming later that day at Kaitlyn Burroughs' house. Ryan came for that.
Oliva is lots cute. ^^ Specially when talking about Ian and Emily.
I've gotten too big for my bathing suit. I need to loose weight.

Okay, so I've decided to just let God deal with everything. Things work out better that way. (Even though I'd like to do things my way) I've stressed enough over things that I don't have control over. And it's about time to start living like me again. I've been so bleh over this past week. I've third-wheeled it all VBS. So not fun.
Anyway, Camp was a blast. Tim was saved! ^^! And all of us I believe got something out of it. Way awesome.
I miss my Kitty. =((

So I'm home from camp. It was pretty amazing. But then I'm home again. Things pretty much suck right now. Mom hasn't said a word to me since saturday, and Daddy doesn't do anything to help. Mom's just too stubbourn and Daddy doesn't want to get yelled at. I don't blame him. But now, everything is once again my fault. Even if there's two of us. =( I feel like crap.

Holy Crap! December 15th is the last time I posted in this?! Seriously. That's a long time.
Anywho, school's out now. I'm excited. Though that means long boring days of work at Regal and hardly anytime with my boy. =( Band has started again. We had our first official practice yesterday, but yet, we still haven't met the new director yet, oh well.
I have to work with Steve on Friday pretty much ALL day. From like eight in the morning until about twelve at night or something. I've totally found my band camp money. :]
And then I leave for Camp at URCC next week. I'm excited about that, they have paintball. >=] I love paintball. Sad thing is, there isn't a lot of people going since Mike left. People don't seem to have enough faith in our youth group without a leader. Even the ones that have been going to the church practically all their life aren't showing up to church/youth and if they do, it's for a boy. But whatever. It's just dissapointing.

Christmas break has begun. It's good I suppose. I'll be working to recover the money I've recently spent on Christmas things. And with that, I need the water pump in my car replaced. I'll hopefully do that tomorrow. My Granny gave me my Christmas so I'll be set for a little while for things I need, though. =) We put up the Christmas tree today. No lights or anything are on it yet. It's still really pretty. We have a real tree this year instead of a dumb plastic one. Crisco likes it a lot. I can tell now that it'll be a mess by time we take it down. He likes to play in the water under the tree ^_^ He's cute.
Tomorrow is that Pancake thing. I'd like to actually help out with something this time instead of walking around and looking bewildered. =) Though that's fun too. After that, though a little later, is Ally's party. November's Requiem is going to be there. <3 ^_^ I'm excited about that. Well, seeing Kitty outside of a school setting. ^^;

School can be pretty depressing. Today I found it to be a good day. Tyler wasn't all semi-depressed like he has been in the last few days, and I didn't do anything in any of the other classes or get really bad grades back. And to top off my day, I have an amazing boy at my side to make everything all worth while.

Well, ^_^;; I said that I didn't have anything to write about, and for goodness sake, I got it. Our toilet broke. ^^;; We had just finished the flooring not too long ago and took the toilet off to put the vinyl under it. I suppose from that day that something wasn't quite right when we put it back or something and so Daddy was trying to fix it and the entire bottom of the tank fell out. We don't know when we're going to get another one either. My grandparents (The landlords) don't know if they have it in the budget to replace it anytime soon yet. ^_^; At least we have one downstairs. Have to be thankful for that anyway.

Happy thanksgiving to all! It's a day late but whatever. ^_^ I haven't updated this in ages. Thanksgiving break is almost over. I'm kinda getting bored though so I suppose that I can't complain too much. I've been sitting around the last few days doing almost absolutely nothing ^^; But eating. *sigh* Ima gain lots of weight like that. ^_^
Good day it's hot. =\ In the house anyway. I need a shower. When I find something interesting to tell you about I will ^_^

First competition today and man, we did so much better than I thought we would have seeing as we usually think that we did alright and end up sucking the field up. ^_^ Anyway, we were Grand Champion for class A and AA. Pretty awesome for the first competition.
School is so overwhelming. >__>;;
