i realize that i will never have anything incredibly profound to say in a blog. i am not an insightful or deep thinker. i only write because it gives me something to do and it's a way of complaining about my life, which i do a lot. here, i am able to do it indirectly, meaning i don't have to complain to anyone in particular. however, it seems that i've been neglecting my blog writing duties and have found other ways of staying busy. this here is my attempt at re-working my blog so that i actually USE it. let's give it a try!
what's going on in my life that i could write about quickly for bed.
school is normal. not quite as fun as last quarter, and not as hard, though i'm taking more credit hours. imagine that!
i'm still very busy though. hang out with my group of close friends about every day in our friend Fred's dorm room. those boys follow me around like puppies. it's pretty funny, actually. but i love my friends.
church at Legend is going fantastically. i still play guitar and sing a few times month. otherwise i work in the children's area. love it.
most of all ,music. i don't get to play guitar as much as i'd like to, but i love my guitar and i'm improving slowly but i'm enjoying it. i realize now that i don't write music anymore. i haven't written any for quite some time. i think that it's time for me to step back into that becuase i miss it a lot.
currently playing: Family Fiction...this band is a side project by jon foreman, the frontman for switchfoot. i highly suggest you listen to it.
Out of order
Keeping quarters
Yes indeed, it's time to rearrange
What now is normal in my life
Used to be so strange
I remember days when it took
So much more to slow me down
I've been lonely too long
Straining to see through
The fog of all these things
Promises and threats
Satisfaction guarantee's
I remember days when it took
So much more to get me out
Peace. EM.

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
Happy, perhaps, is one word that could describe my Saturday night, as I went bowling with a couple of friends. Actually, it was more like disco/music/colored light bowling! They ended up staying at my house until about four in the morning when my mother came outside to yell at us while we were laughing and talking in the hammock.
Happy, however, is NOT the word I'd use to describe my final Sunday singing at Axis. Anything that could have gone wrong...well, it did. As a band, we just weren't all functioning on the same levels...lots of confusion and misunderstanding and frustration. I stood silently among the arguments wondering if worship should really cause so much discord and strife. We made it through worship okay....after a difficult practice. And Rodney found it necessary to embarass me by thanking me for being a part of the Axis service for so long. I found it hard to concentrate on the sermon...as usual, I hate to admit. But I thought about whether or not I'd ever go back to Crestview. Not likely, I decided. I may visit once or twice, but it's time for me to move on. I am so weary of the struggle I go through every week to worship. I'm glad college can allow me to get away and find a new church. YEY LEGEND! I'm actually thrilled to be leading worship there...not to mention, my guitar playing is coming along nicely. New beginnings. I'm ready for some of those.
Happy is also not the word I'd use to describe Sunday afternoon and Monday. Our power went out during the craaaazy wind storm. So Sunday, I sat quietly in my chair in the living room trying to read in the last bit of cloudy daylight, praying that the power would be back on by morning so I could get my laundry done for college-move-in-day Tuesday. But, just my luck, no power monday. At all. My mom, my sister, and I spent the majority of the morning picking up every single twig and leaf from the yard that had come down during the storm. It was nice to be outside in the cool outdoor air, but my mood was dismal, once again, as I assumed today would be light-less and boring. My phone died Sunday night, too, so I couldn't entertain myself by seeking the company of friends. Again, I sat, unmoving, on my living room chair by the window and devoured the rest of my book. (I wonder how many pages I've read in total this summer. I think I'll count and make a note of it here later!) None of my packing got done. None of my laundry got done. Nothing got done. I was prepared to stay up all night with a flashlight packing my stuff for move-in tomorrow. It upset me to think that I'd have to do laundry my first day at college...funny to think of now, though. The power came back on at around 9:30ish PM and my morose mood was lifted almost instantly. My excitement having returned, I have started laundry and I'm SOOOO ready to move in tomorrow!!! It is finally here. Finally. And, shocking as it may be, I am not nervous at all. Perhaps there is something truly wrong with me because it goes against my nature to be so calm. Hmm. Perhaps it is a good thing.
End.
