<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you ever been thinking about someone and they wonder if maybe they are thinking about you at the same time. Maybe you waltzed across their mind as they hit yours. Maybe they are making wishes that involve you while you are dreaming stories about them. Maybe they are smiling at memories you've shared while you are giggling at precious moments that have past. Maybe they are thinking about you, maybe they are not. Maybe they are wondering if you are thinking about them while you are wondering if they are thinking about you. Maybe... just maybe.. its just a huge circle of thought that runs around and around and around.</span></span><div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Decisions are the hardest things in life, when you are forced to choose something or if the right choice is insanely evident you don't even think about the action you are acting upon. But when two choices fairly present themselves, and you are not totally informed on the rating of either choice, you are caught in a whirlwind of complication. I hate decisions, especially when they involve feelings.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Today I am dressed a lot like a hippie, for the second day in a row. My favorite thing about college is that everyone you see is usually someone you don't know so it doesn't really matter what you look like everyday. That means that you can sleep in as late as possible and take the least amount of time to get ready. It really is a great arrangement. </span></span><br />

And since I just got more than half of my to do list done, I am rewarding myself with this.<br />

Dropping off my siblings at their first day of school and saying goodbye was hard but at the same time really cool. I can't believe my little siblings are growing up so fast. I do miss them... but I have been home almost every weekend too so it hasn't been too hard to part!<br />

Hey, I am in college now. I have been meaning to write about it because I am trying to document things but everything has been a mix of me being busy and crazy, to just plain too lazy to write.<br />
<br />
But, I love college.<br />

I love living in Salt Lake and living with my best friend in an actual college dorm. It really is the freshman, straight out of the house life. And it is grand. </div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
I love my classes, college will always be hard, and some learning can be a little lest flavorful that others but overall I love everything. I especially love my creative writing class, and I feel really grown up having class discussions about each others writing. </div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
I love how I found the perfect little place for my heart in a Jazz class here at the U. I love dancing and continuing dancing has been something that I have been a little worried about as I have been moving out and going to a university but I found the perfect thing for me! I also became part of a Jazz company that is so fun and a great opportunity for a freshman. </div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
I love my new job. I work with great people that are really friendly and I love being able to help customers and do well at my job. I also love the fact that I am earning money for myself and I am starting to become more and more independent as a person. That is something that is really important to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
I love the way I can randomly start a conversation with anyone from Rachel, the art major on the shuttle to class, to Bob the old man in a beaten up wheelchair on Trax that inspired me with stories about his life. I have loved meeting new people and I am always excited to meet more. </div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
But most of all, I love how I feel absolutely blessed all the time. It isn't the huge changes but the small ones that mean the most to me. The other day it rained when I was really sad and that immediately cheered me up. The first time I forgot my key to my dorm, one of my roommates turned the corner with her key right as I was getting frustrated at myself. The longest, hardest day at work after a long day of school and homework, and just life stress ended with a Trax ride where the cutest little baby waved and smiled at me and made me probably the happiest person on that Train. </div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
It really is the little things. </div>

On top of all of that wonderful stuff! Football has been amazing. I love football more and more with every game I go to! The Utes really do the student section right too. The energy in the stadium, even when you aren't one of the actual players is unreal! Going to football games, especially the ones where we win have been a huge highlight of my time here at the U. </div>

<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">From being young (only two)
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have seen it grow from a garden.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A small space
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">of my mind, seeing the cheating.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Seeing what happens to the aging truck
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">when it rusts and stops abruptly.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The ghosts, almost not there, start their twirling, whirling waltz abruptly,
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and dance from nine till two.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I run out to dads old blue truck,
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">while destroying my moms perfect garden.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"I looked and she was cheating,
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">in the small add-on space."
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I look to outer space,
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">a star goes out abruptly.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I asked aloud if, like them, it had been cheating.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If the star had really had two,
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">two in it's love, lust garden.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I open the door to the truck.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My mind off-roads and I break off the truck
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">tailgate and it flies into the dirt space.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I uproot the fine trimmed garden.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">He found out so quickly, abruptly,
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">that he was not your "one and only" but your two.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But now you both were cheating
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">me. He whispers, "I saw her cheating
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">in this beat, blue truck,"
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and sighed and carried on, "the two
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">of those in the wrong kind of space."
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"Stoping when they saw me, stopping abruptly."
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Then he went in for the fight, they fought while I tried to mend the garden.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I ponder while I garden.
</span></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One day will I be cheating?</span></i></div>
<div>
<i><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Will I make blood flow so abruptly?</span></i></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I rake, and weed, and truck
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">through my working space.<i> </i>
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">While listening to the two.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Gave up mending the garden, and drove off in my truck.
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">They yell about the cheating, while I ponder the same (words echo in the space.)
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I add speed abruptly, and race away from the two. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">{That was a poem I wrote for my creative writing class. Tune in later for my nonfiction pieces. They should be really interesting.}</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I also wanted to put one of my first singing videos I have ever made on here. It is obviously really choppy and not great... plus I am not really outfitted to be filmed... but it turned out okay and I wanted to start putting that kind of stuff on here so here is:</span></div>

<br />
1. What sport (that you haven't tried) do you think you would be good at?<br />
Easy. Roller Derby. Well, as long as you count that as a sport which I totally do. Ever since I saw Whip It I thought to myself... HOW COOL WOULD IT BE TO DO THAT!!! And because I have recently "re"taken up my love of roller blading the past week that is what is fresh in mind. Fish Nets and ratted hair here I come!<br />
<br />
2. What was your 'high' for today?<br />
Because 1am was still technically "today" I would have to say that my meditation session in the early hours of the morning was my 'high'. It relaxed me a lot and helped relieve some stress. Also the random 15-20 minutes of my life where me and my sister were randomly tackling, slapping, laughing, and being totally ridiculous together was pretty fun as well.<br />
<br />
3. What was you 'low' for today?<br />
I made a foot soak that was supposed to get dead skin off my feet and it didn't work (either that or I don't have dead skin on my feet) and it also had LISTERINE in it so it turned my feet blue for a couple minutes which made me feel kind of like an idiot. Definite low.<br />
<br />
4. What kinds of things get you the angriest? Why?<br />
I think when people refuse to listen to my side of the story or my opinion. I mean, I am not forcing anyone to agree with me or to change their whole life because I feel like I am making some ground breaking discovery but I just wish people would listen more. Huh, maybe if I listened more people would listen to me. TO DO LIST: Gotta work on that.<br />
<br />
5. Which is your color that best describes you or stands for your personality?<br />
Blue. It has all different shades and goes with almost anything. Plus it is my favorite color.<br />
<br />
6. Do you have many friends?<br />
Well no. But the people that I have that support me, and surround me are the best I could ever have. Sometimes I feel like I know lots of people and I even "have many friends" but when it comes down too it. I only have a few true friends.<br />
<br />
7. If you were to be reborn who would you want to be born as?<br />
I think I would still choose to be me, except I would choose to keep all my former knowledge so I would be ahead in life and not have to learn all the same lessons again. Be ahead of the game. But ya, I like myself, I would just want to be myself again.<br />
<br />
8. Do you like to sing in the shower?<br />
Yes, obviously. I also enjoy sitting outside my brothers bathroom door and listening to his renditions of "Gold Digger" and sequence of old 80's music as he sings in the shower.<br />
<br />
9. What's your favorite season?<br />
I like all of the different seasons. I always seem to be ready for them as they come along and I really like it that way. I am lucky to live in Utah where we really do get all the seasons too! I think that is super cool.<br />
<br />
10. What sports do you like best?<br />
Dance, Basketball, Roller Blading, Swimming, Football.... lots of sports!<br />
<br />
11. Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?<br />
Because it gets watery and even if people do already like it when their cream is sour... no one likes it watery.<br />
<br />
12. If you could tell your mother never to serve two vegetables again, which vegetables would you choose?<br />
Mushrooms and Tomatoes. Even though I am becoming more fond of tomatoes.<br />
<br />
13. On a scale of 1-10 how strict do you think your parents are.<br />
Sometimes like a 3, other times like an 8. But luckily never a 1 and thank goodness never a ten.<br />
<br />
14. What kinds of things on TV and in movies make you laugh?<br />
Hahahahahahahaha, uh... funny things.<br />
<br />
15. What animal would you be? Why?<br />
A Sting Ray. Because they get to glide around the ocean and be wild and free and who doesn't want to do that? Also, they have a built in mechanism to sting things that are trying to hurt them so if anyone ever tried to hurt me. I COULD STING THEM!<br />
<br />
16. What are the qualities that make a good friend?<br />
Love. Love is literally all you need, just like the Beatles said. If you have love, all of the other important aspects that build a good friendship come naturally because you always was to be there for someone you truly love.<br />
<br />
17. What would you do if you were invisible for a day?<br />
I would try to go to as many really busy public places as I could and study people. I could follow people around, listen to conversations, watch mannerisms... It would be super fun because no one could see me, therefore no one would think I was creepy, but I could learn more about people and they was they act, especially when they THINK they are alone.<br />
<br />
18. If you could change three things about yourself, what would they be?<br />
For starters I would make myself more thin, I know that I can do this without any magic or anything if I just eat right and exercise more but obviously I am trying to take the easy route, which I probably why I am so fat. I would also change the way I always try to fit in, I would instill more confidence that it is really okay to be myself around everyone and not feel like I have to put on a show. And lastly I would change the rate at which my hair grows, in fact I would change this in all humans. That way I could cut my hair super short and then grow it out over night without regretting my decision to have it chopped short for a day. Yep, that is all.<br />
<br />
19. Are you afraid of airplanes?<br />
I will admit that I do have a little anxiety when I am flying. I always have a moment on every flight I've ever been on where I think to myself, "What if we really do crash and we all really do die?" And I do have a sweep over feeling of relief every time I do land safely. But I honestly don't get over anxious as to where I can't travel because of plane anxiety.<br />
<br />
20. What do you do when you are sad?<br />
I like to be alone when I am sad. I know a lot of people like to help people who are sad and I know that people have tried to help me be happy if I'm sad but honestly, it is nice to be alone. I can just listen to music, read, write, draw, eat, drive, do whatever I need to and get the sadness out of my system and honestly it usually works pretty well. I try really hard not to wallow in self pity and I can get over sadness pretty quickly.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All extra guests, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">intruders that we let lull in the loom of our words. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">lull in the loom of what we say is right, or wrong. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We sieve, slowly, snap and the sight, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">the sight of others doing our work, because that is a lack of order. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We nag, nag, nag, nag, at the runners.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Runners running from the ritual. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Whether is is washing, or tradition, they are running. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All guests, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All extra guests, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All leave, or are sent out to dry. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Then I dry. I dry without the we or the us or the extra guests.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I dry on my own, because I have run. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I dry on my own, because I am now away. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I like to dry, to feel thin after the damp of the dreary event. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Another end. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">To something that never ends. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><u>The Next Steps</u></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am moving on now, to my next part of life. The next chapter as the cliche would say. The next chapter of a book that will never end but will continue to flourish and advance and be the best book you will ever write. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am more of an adult now that I seemed even a few month ago when years told me I was an adult. Adulthood was not given to me by age but by accomplishment and certification and graduation and now independence. I want to be independent but it scares me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It scares me, but i am still taking the next steps. </span>KrisLohnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12410327653929571216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-925244606456564162.post-1778422060238660902013-01-14T00:56:00.001-07:002013-01-14T00:56:17.590-07:00More Poetry in One NightAgain. A poem. By me. Slightly copying. <br />
<br />
Two We's <br />
<br />
Obvious ego can tear <br />
What keeps being redone<br />
A you and a me and a we're <br />
Is what makes our friendship so fun. <br />
<br />
Watching spread out bright screens <br />
And sitting gently close <br />
It's what our likeness means<br />
As we twinkle with our toes <br />
<br />
Missing some deeper like<br />
The two gander away <br />
Get lost on a two person bike <br />
And find destination to stay<br />
<br />
Simple as two can be <br />
And complex as we are <br />
Friends up in the same crazy tree <br />

Hold your head up,<br />
theres a light in the sky,<br />
I know you're fed up,<br />
but you must try to survive.<br />
Each moments precious,<br />
don't let life pass you by,<br />
keep focused,<br />
keep you eyes on the prize.<br />
<br />
You know those moments? Those incredibly happy moments. The ones where you could try not to smile if you wanted, but you probably wouldn't succeed. Those moments are golden. And precious. Save them, write them down, remember them. Share them. Cherish them.<br />

<br />
Still Chapter One:<br />
<br />
Dear Train...<br />
My mother is making dinner like she always does and she told me to tell you to tell your mother that you are all invited over tonight. Don't tell your mother you have to come though because if you do come I will not be allowed to wear sweats at the dinner table. But if you do decide to come and your mother says you can make sure you let me know before you come that way I can be prepared for the occasion. That's all I guess.<br />
From, Me<br />
<br />
I folded the note and continued thinking while my teacher continued to babble something random about derivatives and jerk functions. Something I knew entirely nothing about.<br />
<br />
Grandpa always told me that having a job was valuable in high school because you got to have the social interaction with people, especially if you worked in a job were you were at the service of others. I've never had a job, and that could very well be why I am so socially awkward and I blunder all my words when I try to talk to people. For this reason, this blundering that is, I don't talk to people much. That is why I scared the boy next to me while, and at the same time surprised myself when I leaned over and whispered to him, pointing out that the teacher had chalk smeared down the side of her official pencil skirt that looked so uncomfortable. The boy looked back at my with shock, probably at the fact that I spoke and the low level maturity in the pointing out of chalk. But then he laughed and said something to me. I didn't register that something in my head however because I was so shocked that I had spoken.<br />
<br />
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Your tales, soft.<br />
Fill up the empty in my heart.<br />
Your lies, harsh.<br />
Carry my rage through hurt.<br />
Your thoughts, true.<br />
Laugh at my ignorance.<br />
Your actions, dumb.<br />
Caress my longing look for you.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">My love, leave yourself behind</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You were searching for release</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You gave it all into the call</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You took a chance and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You took the fall for us</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You came thoughtfully</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">Loved me faithfully</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You taught me honor</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You did it for me</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">Tonight you will sleep for good</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You will wait for me, my love</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">Now I am strong, you gave me all</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You gave all you had</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">And now I am home</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">My love, look what you can do</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">I am mending, I'll be with you</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You took my hand and added a plan</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You gave me your heart</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">I asked you to dance with me</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">You loved honestly</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">Did what you could release</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">Ah, ooh</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">I know you're pleased to go</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">I won't relieve this love</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;" />
<span style="background-color: #b8bcad; color: sienna; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;">Now I am strong, you gave me all</span><br />

She tried to help. She really did. Wondering why the other couldn't get a grasp on themselves and decide. She sat wondering what it would be like to be the other. Struggling for safety and looking for some type of humanity in a world that seemed to be rid of it. Then she glanced, and glanced again, and read the message twice more. Her eyebrows furrowed, she never cried, but if she did, this would be one of those moments. Sadness and frustration fell on her like rain pouring from an all knowing sky. She was in a trance to be relieved from the soaking of the liar. She had stood for the other, she had blanketed the other. She had stupidly pretended like the truth wasn't true even though she new, deep inside that it was. Sadness loves company, and she trashed the other, threw her aside with the lashing of a discarded wrapper of a treat that had already been devoured. Two roses lost in one day, and all because of one step in the opposite direction of a previous decision. Complication struck her world, and she hoped that the other felt what she wanted them to feel. She forgave, but was angry, but more than that was hurt. She felt like she couldn't be trusted with anything any more, and the other was haunted at the loss of another affair. The other was on her own, while she thrived out of the sadness. She was stronger than the other, she was braver, she was better, she was loved. </div>

Chapter One: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I heard a bell in the distance, tolling with the unforgettable tune that called us all back into school. I had to go because I couldn't think of anymore excuses for being late and my teacher was bound to get frustrated. I felt bad for that teacher already, she had to teach a bunch of self-centered losers like me that knew almost nothing about anything that had to do with school. I took off with a run not even noticing the landscape or the other bustling students around me. I took five deep breaths at the door to calm myself down before I stepped into the classroom and thudded in my seat before the second toll of the bell rang through my ears. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I heard the teacher saying something in the background of my thoughts but I decided that being on time was my only gift to her today so instead of paying attention to her banter I pulled out my notebook and wrote to my friend instead. </div>

<br />
<ul>
<li>thinking of songs that would play as a soundtrack for a movie about my life. </li>
<li>saying different reasons I am worth something.</li>
<li>getting close to my real friends.</li>
<li>eating food.</li>
<li>encountering and experiencing special coincidences that create interesting stories.</li>
<li>hearing that when you say things people do rational things about what you say.</li>
<li>finding fun in receiving mail, even if its just from colleges. </li>
<li>creating words to write down and edit and rewrite down again more time.</li>
<li>watching movies that make me want to change my life. </li>
<li>realizing just how hard it is to let go of stupidity and dumbness. </li>
<li>hoping for different things to change.</li>
<li>stressing about life. </li>
<li>learning to cry. </li>
<li>and discovering deeper feelings of love, hate, remorse, regret, joy, happiness, and deeper feeling of feelings in general.</li>
</ul>

"I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if is was the second or the third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you." -- Cassandra Clare</div>

To toss around ideas.<br />
To indulge in the sweet taste of accomplishment and production.<br />
It's great to be human.<br />
Having the ability to feel so deeply and so passionately is such an amazing gift.<br />
To have the feeling that happiness will never end, that there is a eternal ring of gladness and well being.<br />
But also to discover that opposition and bitterness.<br />
In fact I have decided that the sad part of life is the part that is the most important.<br />
We have always heard that you have to experience sadness to know what happiness is like.<br />
Not only do I think that this is very true and a very important observation but I believe something more.<br />
<br />
I would want and wish and hope to think that this small insignificant bit of wording is actually something important, though I know it is not.<br />
<br />
I would like to think that we can only experience the same amount of happiness as we have experienced sadness. Which means that the people who experienced the most sadness are the ones with the capability to enjoy the most happiness in fact they are the ones with the want and need to experience the most happiness. In the end, they are even the ones who deserve it. The more and more sadness we experience, the more and more happiness we can experience.<br />
<br />

Just when I am getting old and almost completing high school I decided that, gosh darn, I just don't really know a thing and about anything.<br />
<br />
You know those days when you wake up late because your alarm wasn't set and you check your phone to see the time and then when you see you are going to have no time to get ready you blast out of bed. Then you go into this trance, coma type thing were you blackout for a second and almost fall over, sometimes you so fall over and plop right back into bed. When that happens your brain is yelling and screaming at you to get up and get ready so you won't be late for school. But your body is saying in a soft calm hushed voice... stay, lay a little longer... how important is school anyway? That's when your most important decisions are made... right there. This whole story is kind of how I feel life is right now. Not that I have necessarily woken up late but I have looked at my life and realized what time it is. My prime time. My time to move. Then I jumped into everything to quickly made a long list of goals, of ideas, and of things that I need to do with my life. But now I am getting dizzy, and I am falling backwards, I am slightly blacking out and trying to hold on to something that will keep me standing up from my minor set back. Then I fall... I fall back onto a bed of comfort, a zone where I know I am safe and nothing bad will happen. My head and my heart are telling me to get up and continue my life in the way I want it to be but something is keeping me back, laziness and tiredness are stopping me. So here is where now I need to make my decision. To hike through and stomp through and tread through and push through... or just stop.<br />

To reverse decisions. To reverse pain. To reverse words. To reverse a murder. To reverse anything... <br />
You can try to make up for it. You can try to mend it to straighten it out to forget it to let it go. But it's impossible to go back to how it was. <br />
<br />
I have this pair of old jeans that I love. They are black. One day I found a rip in them and I literally thought I was going to cry. I have, since that time, got new jeans to replace them and I love those jeans now too, but I still have that old pair in my closet. I sewed the hole and even though I probably will never wear them again because it was a crude sewing job I can't throw them away. I can't just get them out of my closet. I mean, who has an attachment to a 10 dollar pair of jeans anyway? <br />

So, first of all, I captioned my pictures... wow. Second, I love friends... another big surprise because I obviously never say how glad I am I have friends. I had such a great night last night that I had to say how thankful I was for my great friends one more time. Please bear with a run down of a few of my favorite people in this world.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">**AUBREY** is a prized gem, she is the perfect person to laugh with because she has probably the greatest laugh I have ever heard and it just makes you laugh more. If you ever hear a funny quote (like on a movie or something) and you want to hear it again, ask Aubrey to repeat it because she is spot on and makes the quote even funnier. She is an amazing singer and an incredible ukelele player. If I could choose five words to describe her I would say... bright, hilarious, benign, ferocious, and hipster. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">#YON SOO# is asian first of all which automatically makes her amazing. She is so very stylish, I seriously love everything she wears. Yon Soo is resourceful and smart... if you are ever looking for an example on how to take notes (like for Psychology or something) she is the one to follow. I honestly don't know what I ever did without Yon Soo. As I sit here thinking, I don't exactly remember how we became the close friends we are but I am glad that we are such good friends because she literally changed my life. Yon Soo is also an amazing advise giver, she always knows the right things to say to help you work out situations and make you feel better! I love the way she writes and I love her practicality. Five words for Yon Soo would be... style, sentiment, perspicacious, embrace, and discerning. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">~TOSHA~ is such a true friend. Besides the fact that Tosha is insanely smart she is also a good learner. Tosha plays the piano like a goddess and she can also sing very very very very very well. Tosha became my friend in German class, she is my entertainment for those class periods that just never seem to end. Tosha is also good at advice and she listens to all of my crazy stories which is hard. Tosha is that person who you meet and you just know they are going to be an amazing mom, so caring and wise that you almost even wish she was your mom. My five words for Tosha would be: buddy, harmonious, caring, leader, and super! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">REE (>.<) is kind of intimidating and scary... and least that is what he wants you to think. :) He really is a sweet amazing person when you get to know him well. I've heard a lot of people describe him as a teddy bear and even if it hurts his dignity a little to say it... he is one. He is also a romantic which is really adorable. Ree is a genius in all sorts of subjects including piano playing. I have only heard him play once but he is so amazing. Ree is also one of my German buddies and I am so happy I got to know him this year! Five words for Ree are: brilliance, softie, entertaining, confident, and well... asian. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In the end, I am grateful for all of these people! I am so glad I met them all this year and I am incredibly glad that they are all going on to such bright futures next year and I want to publicly and slightly awkwardly wish them the best of luck!!!

So I got my blood drawn today and let me just lay it out frankly, It was scary. It hurt a little and the whole time the needle was in my arm I was stressing a little bit. In the end it was fine, I was most worried about getting fait and passing out and that didn't happen so it was okay. While I was getting "interviewed" in the back room the nurse made and interesting comment to me. She said, "It's strange to me how people don't spend the time getting to know people when people are so fascinating." First of all, I love that word fascinating because it seems like a very good word to describe my feelings toward people. Second, I bonded with that nurse at that moment. I was saying it out loud before I could think it when I blurted, "I KNOW! I AGREE! People are so amazing!" My comment must have been a little loud because the room got pretty quite and she let out a little giggle like she was surprised at my enthusiastic response. Even though that conversation didn't go on much longer I felt a special connection with this nurse who I had never seen or talked to before and I probably will never see or talk to again. But I am glad she appreciates people, I kind of wish more people appreciated people.<br />

It takes forever for you to actually fall asleep because you are distracted by your thoughts and then you are constantly awakened by nightmares or you wake yourself up because you are so terrified of the images that taunt your mind. If this type of night was an end to a typical day, that would be one thing, but this night was an end to a long tiring and wildly crazy day. I dislike nights like that.<br />
<br />
Last, I love Dance Company. More than anything in this world. It is great to have friends and the friends I have made this year dancing are the best ever. I have loved this year and I am so excited to make even more friends next year... The End.<br />

I have never screamed, laughed and cried so hard all at once in my whole life... How does it just happen to happen that the Saturday before he goes to Japan we see him cross the street. The extra minute it took to start my car made the difference in seeing him. Crossing the street right in front of me, smiling, waving, looking so happy and perfect and adorable. I love him so much and I could not be more proud of him. The best part was the heart sign he made with his hands, it was such a special moment. I loved it.<br />

The emotion caught in this picture is the reason I love dance. It is the perfect way to convey everything. The other day I was dancing in my room and it just kind of relieves you. There are those times where you dance because you have class or you dance because you are choreographing or something like that, and dance is really fun then. But then there are the times when you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO DANCE... and thats when it is best for you. Those are the moments I live for... and I've kind have a lot of those lately... and I am grateful for it.<br />

I always save my favorite thoughts for last. Today my favorite thoughts are about spring, and beauty, and trees, and waterfalls. Long trails, winding paths, fences, trees, brick buildings, rocks, dirt. Have you ever thought about spider webs, their beauty and their grace. I appreciate spider webs, I like how they shine when the light from the sun hits them. I like how their designs are practically perfect. Have you ever thought about silence? How silence is awkward with some people, and perfect with someone else? How conversations can be had by only saying two words? How silent touches can change the world? Have you ever thought about hearts and how they thump when you are nervous... Have you ever thought about good nervous and bad nervous?<br />
Sometimes I don't know how to describe some things, maybe because they are too perfect to describe. I hate trying to explain confusing things and I hate feeling confusing feelings. I hate wanting something so bad but being to nervous to just grab it and get it. I wish things were easier than they always are.<br />
<br />
Dear World, I love you. You mean everything to me. Love, Me.<br />
<br />
Try hard not to have regrets, they are the worst.<br />

I am not talking about chocolate or sweets that you want to eat but know you will regret later, I am talking about deeper things. More important things, life changing decisions that will effect the way you live forever. First you reject the idea of such a life changing decision, then you can't stop thinking about it, you think of different approaches, different outcomes, different consequences, how it will really effect you, how it will really effect others. Next, you start to reason with yourself. "What is this really going to do?""Who are my actions really going to impact?""Why is this decision so important anyway?" You question yourself, and shoot out any bad thoughts and only think of the good that will come of it. You think of all the wonderful, desirable things that will come of such a controversial choice. Then you pause and think, fine, I will do it. And that's when you start to learn.<br />

Dear Mary Anderson,<br />
Thank you so much for giving us the great invention of windshield wipers. Even though my spring break was a little rainy I could still drive around town perfectly okay and safe because of your great contribution to society. I don't know if you have ever been properly thanked for this amazing idea of a windshield cleaner but if they have internet up in heaven I hope you are reading this because I am seriously so grateful for you. I am also grateful to anyone else up there with you who helped with the idea or advanced it along to greater functioning, so please, if you have some spare time, let them know how much they are appreciated as well. Thank you again, you are such a genius!<br />
Much Love,<br />

Have you ever been in the middle of a terrible nightmare and then realized you were dreaming? Discovering you are dreaming seems like it would be a comforting feeling because then you might be less scared because you know that it isn't really real. No. When I am in the middle of a nightmare, terrified and tired and I realize that it is a dream I just feel worse. Then I try and try to wake up and I struggle with my body to get it to be alert but I just can't. I just feel trapped inside this non reality and I can't get out. It's like a prison and it terrifies me. Like I don't have control of my own body because I can't get it to wake up. </div>
<div>
I hate nightmares. </div>

Sometimes moments happen and as soon as they occur you know that after that moment you will never be the same. There are a lot of life changing moments in a day, things that define you, shape you, create you, but the events that make you sit back and think, <i>My life will no longer be the same</i>, are the truly mind blowing ones.<br />
<br />
The other day someone told me they love how my mind works. What's that supposed to mean? How does my mind work. I mean I have noticed I am different from everybody else but... isn't everybody? I have always questioned how my mind works though. Sometimes I wonder why I over think and complicate everything. I also twist ideas and solutions like knots until they can't be untangled. I hardly forget anything and I am actually rather observant. Oh and here is a secret! Sometimes, when people tell me something they have already told me, I pretend they haven't told me before. I am not sure if that is for my benefit or for theirs but I usually remember what people tell me, especially when they are important to me. And, my brain doesn't shut off. I am usually thinking of five things at once and I can tell you what you are saying to me even when I am thinking about something totally different. And if I have listened to a song once or twice, I have the majority of the lyrics memorized. I like my brain. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; line-height: 15px;">I wonder if my mind really controls my actions, my words, my feelings, my heart, my sounds, me movements, my decisions, and everything else. I feel like sometimes my body get on automatic pilot and just does what is does, my body thinks without my mind... if that makes any sense. You see my mind can over think everything, make a plan and try to carry it out and sometimes have great success because it takes over my body but sometimes my body thinks for itself. It takes over and controls it's movements by forgetting the over thinking and not considering the consequences. I am victim to my own body. Maybe what they say is true, you really can leave the decisions up to your heart instead of your mind. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 10px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">Then there are those times where you have a total out of body experience and pretty much just throw reason out the window and just go for it. Today for instance, I was dancing, which is when a lot of these out of body experiences occur, and I forgot there were other people in the room, I forgot that I was in an audition, I forgot that I was trying to impress people. It was almost like I had forgotten I was alive. Then all of this movement, this emotion, this feeling just kind of came out of me. Automatic Pilot. As much as I wish I could explain, I can't. To sum it up as best I can, its the feeling I get and then know that I am alive so I can create, so I can dance, so I can write, so I can love, so I can draw, so I can live, so i can be inspired, so I can share and so I can do everything I can do. That feeling is what keeps me going everyday, it's the reason I am alive. It's the only feeling I am really sure of and it is the best feeling in the world.</span></div>

"A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances"<br />
-- Douglas Dunn<br />
<br />
Sometimes I feel like I am an extremely mean person. Not because I really am mean, because the more I think about it, I really am not mean. But sometimes I feel like I am. Don't ask me how this makes sense but it kind of does, at least in my brain.<br />
