I'm currently sitting in a room at Great Wolf Lodge, being lazy and tired while my family is swimming and doing other water-fun-related things. It's been a fun trip so far, although the deathly water tube things are TERRIFYING. My mom forced me to go down them. I think the whole state could hear me scream as I went. It was soooo scary. The beds are soft, the food is delicious, there is a lounge for teens, and overall this place is kind of cool. There's even a game with wands and magical fairies called MagiQuest!
We took a break from the waterpark today to visit this thing called Mima Mounds. Basically, it's a prairie of random mounds that kind of look like giant gopher holes. It spreads out for acres and acres, and there are almost a million of the little mounds! I didn't get to take a picture 'cause I left my camera in the safe at the hotel. =[ If you've ever read Lord of the Rings, think about a very sunny Barrow-downs. If it had been dusk and super foggy, I would have run screaming in the other direction - or maybe crept forward slowly to spy on the barrow-wights and maybe find a nifty dagger like the Hobbits found! (You should definitely look them up on Google Images - just so you can see what I mean.)
I've been really tired all week and I'm not sure why. I also just discovered that two amazing people are coming up to visit my favorite church - MVPC - this week, and I won't be there becaues of this vacation! =[ I can't believe everyone gets to see Travis and Jeannie without me. Not that I should be complaining, since I'm sure my parents are spendng exorbitant amounts of money on us here. Oh, and the song that is my title today? Definitely came on shuffle as I was trying to decide what to put as my title. =D

Hopeless, head over heels in the moment...
I never thought that I'd get hit by this lovebug again.
Well, this is certainly an experience. I've still no real job, but I'm doing some writing on a pay-per-word basis and looking into other stuff like that. Most people do this as supplemental income, and so I'm not making nearly enough to pay for the London trip. =[ I really hope that I can work this out. Crap.
I'm enjoying the writing, though, and have been having a good summer besides my failure on the job front. My friends that are searching for jobs are failing almost as much as me, so I don't feel too bad. There's this site called I've Tried That, which is really helpful in finding scams and stuff so I don't get burnt. I'm hoping that I'll be able to generate enough money to have my parents agree to help pay until I can pay them back. I'm looking into paid blogging, which won't be the super fun posts I normally have, but those will still be here so don't be too disappointed that I'm selling out. I just really need to earn money so I can attend this class. British Culture Through Theatre and Music! =D
Oh, yeah, the new ads that you see are going to earn me some money too, or so I hope. My faithful little readers, I promise that I will return this site to its indie roots as soon as I can afford to live without money. I'm just trying to get by. You can't really blame me for trying to make a little cash, right? I'm still the same silly woman who watches JONAS with her little sister and is trying to get a B.A. in Theatre and English. I'm just writing about diamond engagement rings and making you look at some adds now too. ;] No worries!

Must be the sign on my head that says: "Oh, love me dead!"
I don't want to hide behind it anymore but I've become so lost in me that I don't know who I am anymore.
Why does it seem to be that for every generation that grows up, they watch things get harder and grow more corrupt?
Believe in yourself and don't be afraid to have fun, be crazy, and love everyone as much as you love yourself. Be kind, too. No one likes a bitch. But if you meet someone who is mean and rude, give her the chance she deserves. Smile and be nice until she doesn't deserve your respect anymore, and then continue to smile and be nice. Don't allow her to make you feel like crap, but don't sink to her level either.
I took a teensy step forward and said "Hey...God? You can stop hitting me over the head with a two-by-four. I get it now." And so he put down the two-by-four and picked me up instead.
"Just because we don't ever hang out doesn't mean that I don't still love you. That will never be true."
I don't know how to do it or what to say or when to be there for him, but I have this obssesive need to save him before it all goes wrong.
There are two types of people in this world: those who see the truth and those who stare at it blindly. I'm afraid to be the one staring at it blindly.
I'm drowning, just as fast as I can, but don't reach out your hand, don't throw me a line, 'cause I'm on the brink of something beautiful.
I fall in love every day and I feel like a fool.
I'm a lot like you, so please, hello, I'm here, I'm waiting.
No one's going to realize you're having problems if you don't speak up.
I've been called everything under the sun.
So go ahead and call me names, I've grown used to it.
What can I say?
It's a bittersweet life I lead.
And I guess being who I am doesn't work with who you are.
What am I fighting for? There must be something more! For all these words I sing, do you feel anything? I said I'm okay, but I know how to lie.
After all this time? Always.
Always. In this one word, so much is summed up. There is promise, love, passion, rejection, hatred, pain, and most importantly, commitment. There is an entire life in that one word. =D
This has been my best kept secret for far too long.
the worst thing is that i'm afraid that i can't let go simply because i don't want to - that i find some sort of comfort in this feeling i've had for so long.
I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand.
He would want revenge.
Somehow, [she] always seemed infinitely capable of failing those [she] loved.
Everytime you walk away, I pretend that I'm okay.
Break my heart! Go on, tell me lies. Big surprise.
Tell me something meaningful and real.
You really are my lucky star.
Don't say goodbye, 'cause I don't want to hear those words tonight.
