Reading back three years ago, I seem like an entirely different person. It's hard to believe that I used to spend my free time going to house parties and smoking more weed than one person should be able to stomach at one time. These days, I spend most of my time chasing after a wee little man and trying to save enough money so that I can start school this summer.Life creeps up on you way too...

I feel the need to rant...just to write out whatever I am thinking! So, here goes.I hate it when people give me that look of pity when they have no idea what they are talking about. It's that glance over the shoulder and the whisper to the partner sitting beside them that makes me despise going to this "certain place that will remain nameless". It is not helpful, kind, or inspirational of either...

So, today was...interesting. Spent the day with Betsy mostly. We had a "picnic" at the park in which we ate popcorn, crackers, and vegetable soup that didn't cook quite long enough. Then, a trip to the mall resulted in amazing new clothes! :) After that, we headed back to my place to meet up with B's man-friend, Robert, and then we went to Barnes and Noble and Target and such!So then, my mom...

My mom woke me early this morning to tell me that I had no school due to "possible snow accumulation." In Rome, a couple of flurries of snow ends in the entire city being shut down for a few days. Our stores are emptied of bread, milk, and eggs. And no, I am not exaggerating! lol Back to the story, I rolled over and went back to sleep.I was awakened (for the second time) by a loud crashing sound...

So, lately I've been wondering if I have chosen the right direction for myself. I've convinced myself that I want to be a teacher. However, I know where my heart is, and that's in my music. I just don't know if I can live the life of a starving musician that sings in jazz clubs at night. Maybe I'm just nervous about upcoming college application processes and things of that nature, but what if I'm...

Oh, the trauma! I was discussing some...stuff...with some guys in my AP Study class today. Let's just call them E and W. They explained to me the functions of a "smart guy" and a "stupid guy". Apparently, and this is just hearsay, but apparently, "smart guys" will play hard to get in order to build suspense for the girl so that when they finally give in and screw her, she goes wild and is amazing....

Lately, I have been obsessed with the Fleet Foxes, whose song Oliver James is the inspiration for the title. It started when Sully sent me a link to their video for the song White Winter Hymnal, and I find myself transfixed by the amazing vocals and sweet guitar melodies. If you get a moment and you haven't heard them, check it. :)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrQRS40OKNEI have a question. What...

I had an interview today for an Executive Internship. I seemed to go well but I can only hope! I want to work with the Middle School band kids if possible. Should be fun! Wish me luck :)So, I'm presently watching the new Disney movie The Princess and the Frog. I admit it - I am a complete sucker for 2-D animation. Actually, I am a sucker for 3-D animation as well...anyways, you get the point! It's...

Groundhog Day. General Beauregard Lee, the Georgia groundhog, did not see his shadow! This is easily explained by the fact that today is extremely cloudy and gloomy, but hey! I'll take what I can get! This has been a cold winter for us Georgia folk, doncha' know?Also, it's Betsy's technical birthday! Everyone say "Happy birthday, Betsy!" :)She and I stayed in for the night, after walking a very...

The title of this journal has nothing to do with its content, I just realized. :) Oh well!So, Betsy's birthday went so very well tonight. I'm so tired, though. Yesterday I spent all day decorating and then had four hours of AP Lang homework, and today I went from school to a woodwind sectional to the house to set up for the party. It was a trip, let me assure you! I finished cleaning a little bit...

Today was my audition for Governor's Honors. Stressful does not even begin to describe the process! The writing portion was the worst, because I only had 40 minutes to do my thing - it usually takes me much longer to write with quality. The reading was easy, though, which was good. The interview was...the interview. It went okay, but I've done much better before. So, that kind of stank. Oh well! I...

We have this huge clocktower downtown that's been there since the dawn of time. (Which is around 1880 something, apparently.) Today, while I was waiting for 8 o'clock to come a'ringin, I was thinking about how other people feel about their hometowns. I know that I want to leave Rome eventually, but it IS my home. I suppose I have mixed feelings about this place. I love the history and the...
