Haha. I can't look at Hillary Clinton with out getting freaked out. Mostly because one of my friends (who is turing thirty soon) seriously thinks she's the anti-Christ. No joke. So, every time I look at her, I picture red glowing eyes and horns on her head. Definitely won't be voting for her. I had to take you up on that... Hahaha Jesse I love you for that. XD Hilary Clinton scares me...

Oh... I'm sorry to hear this. I bet you get lots more coverage now that Cingular, Bell South and AT&T merged. Yeah. We just renewed the verizon plan though. It was probably less expensive or something like that.

Not true. I think you have written some poems that are equally as good. Thanka-lanks. But in my personal opinion i think they stink.*drops topic* I've only seen one of your poems that I remember, and that one was really good! I can't really way whether mine are good or not, it's all opinion, really. I've had people say the like them, and one person told me anonymously that they're not very good. But I don't really care either way, I write because I enjoy it, and I don't really care who likes it and who doesn't.

Yep, the summer credits made me a junior instead of a sophomore. I don't know what my vocal range is, but I'm an alto. Mm...I forget what else I was going to say. Oh well.

We tried Cingluar for a little while, but we didn't get reception where we needed it.

Okay enough of the quotes. Yeah, I've got verizon and we got the $10 text and pix plan where everything to and from verizon phones is free, and I get 500 for non-verizon phones. Phil I think has cingular. Yeah, I don't thinnk Grandma will outlive Grandpa by more than a few years. Although Grandma on my mom's side is still alive and her husband died when I was...about 4 maybe? But she's losing her mind.

or Homestar lol you know.. i like completely forgot about that for lik years untill i went to colorado and my cousin kept saying "da email da email da da da email" and my brother was obsessed with the trogdor song on guitar hero2 lol Hahaha yes! The trogdor song! My friend Marius has a trogdor shirt.

I like this. It makes you think.

Thank you!

Wonderful!!!!!!!!! How is your summer going so far??? Pretty good, although mostly boring. Working, kayaking, picture taking. I'm home now to help out with vbs. I miss my college friends and internet access. We have missed you! Glad to hear things are good. The lack of internet access really makes you realize just how much you enjoy being online and how big a part of your life it is. After the hurricanes, what I missed most was my internet access. Okay, so, here's my typical journal style entry of what's been going on in my life (sorry it's so long): So far, my summer has been pretty good. I've been working in the Club House (it runs kinda like a hotel) with a bunch of kids about 11 years old. We basically do housekeeping work. I've also been taking tons of pictures, kayaking, and swimming. It's been nice. Ian had more mono complications, was hospitalized, has a surgery, and is now still recovering. I got back home early Monday morning, because I'm helping with my church's Vacation Bible School. I now have a ranger hat that says Ms. Terry. (The theme is "Rescue Zone: Saved by God's Power) They've got me taking pictures of the kids and lending a hand wherever I'm needed. It's tons of fun. My friend Phil came over today. We played DDR, went swimming, and jumped on the trampoline. Then we chatted for about an hour, and he taught me the basic swing step (he does ballroom dancing). And then he tought me how to play Final Fantasy (despite most of my friends being video game/band/anime geeks, I rarely if ever participate in any of those activities). And Phil plays piano (he taught himself). Didn't know that. He might be coming over again on Thursday, or I might go to his house. Which brings me to the interesting parts. Upon my arrival, I found out that Ian apparently has a girlfriend, and incoming freshman. And I'm okay with that, I'm allowing my feelings for Ian to subside because, in reality, he's probably not a good match anyways. I'm only concerned for Ian's sake because last time he dated a freshman, she cheated on him and left him heartbroken. But whatever, it's his life. I just hope he doesn't get hurt. So with that information, it's helped me to get over Ian, which is good. This is what I needed. Interesting part two: I was talking to Lara last night about Phil coming over, and it hit me like a ton of bricks: I might have mentioned earlier that what I need in a guy is a hybrid of my friends Kenny, Ian, and Marius. Duh! Phil matches that description! From Kenny, Phil has the faith, and the slight neuroticism (hey, you take the good with the bad). From Ian, he has a bit of culture. He does the ballroom dancing and plays piano. And he's willing to teach me things. And from Marius, he has the video games, anime, ddr, and j-pop interests (which both Ian and Kenny would likely reject). And Phil was also the one who answered the "do you have a crush on me" question in a 20 questions thing awhile back with that he had a crush on me in 4th grade. Which is trivial, really, but if you think about it, when you have a crush on someone, you never lose your feelings for them 100% (unless maybe, they did something awful to you, but that's never happened to me) And yeah, tonight at VBS when I was waiting for some kids and thinking about the day I had just spent with Phil and all that, I realized that I'm starting to have some feelings for him. But I need to be careful not to rush it or do anything stupid. So we'll see. I need to get back into a habit of praying for God's will, wisdom, and guidance in my life more often. *loves long posts* You will have to post a pic of you in your Ms. Terry Ranger Hat! Your summer sounds like it has been fun so far. Kayaking is really a great way to exercise along with being relaxing for the mind. I hope Ian is back on his feet soon and in the best of health. As for the news of a freshman girlfriend... ohhhhh. You really are doing well in handling your feelings and moving on. You have a great friendship with him and that is something that no one can ever change. I hope this girl does not break his heart. Phil... he sounds like a really cool guy. I like the fact that he is a combination of all your friends. It says something when he will ride his bike with a stuffed duffle bag to see you. Phil sounds like a great friend and a great guy to think more about. You are smart, so I am certain you will handle this at the speed you feel comfortable with and I really can't see you doing anything stupid. So, it sounds like you will be having a spectacular semester. Thanks for filling us in. Hahaha yeah, Phil is really a sweetheart. The only problem is that if we were to pursue a relationship, his college is a good 5 hours away from mine, at least. But who knows? As for the Ian thing, yeah, despite that and the fact that my grandpa is dying of cancer (he's old, in his 80's), I was in a really really really good mood yesterday. I was even in a good mood when I was cleaning the house yesterday morning (I hate cleaning, unless I'm getting paid for it). Haha yeah, I'll have to get a good picture of me in my hat. And kayaking is tons of fun. I recently got an mp3 player, so last time I went kayaking I took that along with me, which was cool. Mmm...that's pretty much it. Today I need to pack up all my stuff for college (I'll be leaving directly from camp) and, if possible, get my room straightened out (it looks like it exploded). And that's pretty much it, I think... Waterproof the MP3!!! That advice is not really for you, but for me. I can see me falling out of the kayak into the river and my iPod losing it's life by drowning. Your grandfather and family will be in our thoughts, hearts and prayers. Cancer is pretty scary. I hope you get to spend some time with him so that you can tell him how much you love him and how he has been a wonderful part of your life. Now for Phil... five hours... oh my. Distance makes the heart grow fonder? As for your room... just get the commercial version of the Mega Hyper Uber Shop Vac and vacuum everything up. The Shop Vac will clean your room fast. lol we have a shop vac, but it's at camp. My mp3 player isn't waterproof, but I keep it in a zip lock bag in my life jacket pocket. And my kayak is pretty hard to tip unless you do something really stupid, like lean all the way over to one side or try standing in it. I doubt I'll be able to see grandpa again, because he lives in FL (he and grandma moved down there from NH when grandpa decided that a man his age shouldn't be shoveling snow off the roof of their house). And yeah, five hours. I guess that's what instant messaging is for. I figure if I ended up in a long distance relationship like that we'd both get webcams. Camp?!?!? Get that Shop Vac home from camp! I would do something stupid like stand on my back legs in the kayak. Please call your grandfather. Before you do, think of everything you want to tell him and please do this. New Hampshire, I love that state, so beautiful, but so snowy. I agree, they do better in Florida. Webcams!!! Stellar idea!!!!! Instant messaging and text messaging... great ways to stay in touch. Hahaha we need the shop vac more at camp than here. As for grandpa, he was was never really a big part in my life, so I don't have anything really to say to him other than "See you later" (not goodbye because I'm pretty sure he's saved and I'll see him again in heaven). But I do take pictures that my dad sends to him on occasion. I'm more worried about grandma on dad's side, because she's an emotional basket case over all this. (They've been married over 50 years, and only slept apart once the whole time). And NH is gorgeous. They had this beautiful log home too, it was so pretty. And yes, IM is a wonderful thing. Sadly, Phil can't send text messages, because it runs up his phone bill.

You're welcome. The first three I wrote at camp, and the last one I wrote last night.

Sounds like you have researched this a bit. A few other things to consider: 1) Will you really still want it when you are older. Tattoo removal is very expensive, very painful, and not always 100% effective. 2) Your religion may not allow tattoos. This may effect where you can get married or where you can be buried. It may not seem like something that is important now, but you never know how you might feel when you are older or have kids. I have several friends who suddenly found religion when they had kids. It does happen. 3) As stated above, make sure any place you go for tattoos or piercings are SAFE. All states do not have the same rules for tattoo and piercing establishments. People have gotten infections and even died from tattoos and piercings done without the proper precautions being taken. 4) Although it is not "life threatening", some of the inks used in tattoos contain large amounts of metal (iron oxide I believe). It is possible for the tattoo to heat up or cause skin irritation if you have an MRI. The high powered magnets excite the metal in the tattoo. Again, not a huge issue, but it is something you should be aware of. 5) Never get a tattoo or piercing without really thinking about it first. This might seem obvious, but I know a few people who got tattoos while drunk or to be "accepted" by their "friends". They all regretted it afterwards. It's too serious a decision to be made on a whim. I will get off my soapbox now. Very well said. Another quick tidbit: if/when your friends have tatoos, ask them where they got them. If your friends' tatoos came out really well, go where they went. If they didn't, don't go there.

Back to Basics Love Back to basics, Things that are true, Not skewed. Have I found love? A new one, more logical, More likely to work? Because right now, I'm so happy, I don't know how, But this is looking good.

Oh It's Okay (re: Ian's finding out about my feelings) I didn't expect it to happen this way, but it seems that everything is okay. It wasn't what I planned, but I don't get to make demands. I guess that's how it was meant to be, for reasons only half understood by me, If that. My feelings now are less passionate, but more compassionate. I have a patience in this formerly unknown to myself. I'm waiting for you to put your pride on the shelf, because you can't do it yourself. But that's fine, all things in good time. And if it's not meant to be, then what are God's plans for me?

My Summer Brilliant blues and gorgeous greens, could I ever explain what it means? The shade of trees and gentle breeze, Water splash and sand castle crash. Thunder rumble, children tumble, Sun shining, rock climbing. Paddle practice, nailing lattice, Phone calls and shopping malls. Children shout and digging out The kitchen floor.

Home Misty mountains and skies of blue, living in a paradise true, but there's something missing, no one's listening. Each day I'm swarmed, my heart is warmed, but still something's lacking, I'm ready to start packing. Home is where the heart is, and the funny part is, my heart isn't here, I'm waiting for the coming year.

Oh and forgot to mention this about Phil's visit: He rode his bike all the way over here (over a mile, with hills) with a huge duffel bag containing his DDR mat and computer. I was impressed that someone would ride a bike that far just to see me. (We drove him home after dad got back from work)

You sing too? What part? My courses for fall: Cell Biology, Personality (a psych class just for fun), Choir, Two education classes that go together (I get to observe classes and eventually teach one), and I think that's it. So it's going to be a light (and awesome) semester.
