Best Day

(If that is a Taylor Swift song I'm not referring to it.)

(Also my parents are out of town. So I'm here alone from Friday afternoon to Monday morning. It is nice, but I was also lonely.. until this...:))

1. My amazing friend spent the night last night.

Then I cleaned- got that out of the way.

Then about the time I was getting lonely my other lovely friends picked me up and we went to the nature center! that was LOVELY!! and there was a wedding going on and it made me happy! :D (They had bagpipes- sooo cool!)

Then we came home and I got lonely again.

But then Jesus FILLED me with a GLORIOUS and INEXPRESSIBLE

JOY!!

2. A lovely person offered to drive me to/from church tomorrow. It's QUITE a bit out of her way. I feel soo loved!

3. My amazing friend skyped me!! Hadn't talked to him in a long time!

and then my other amazing friend was on AIM!!! Hadn't talked to her either!!

4. So I was already jazzed. And then I put on some SWEET dancing music and danced. And now I should really go to bed because I need to get up early tomorrow for church... but I'm so happy! What a good reason not to be able to sleep!!

GOD IS SO GOOD TO ME!

new name!

Aspire is no longer Aspire. I am no longer just breathing, now I am becoming. Metamorphosing. I had to mix up some words for the blog address to be able to use it. It's sort of a mix of metamorphize and transformation. metamorphization. It works.

love!

Hope

The End of Tuesday

Two posts in one day. whoo!

Random things I thought of today:

1. I think social security numbers should be social security words. That is much more humanizing. I don't want to be a number to the United States government, I want to be a word! Or at least a jumble of letters.

2. Yogurt makes me gag. I like foods I can chew.

3. The song "Give Me Words to Speak" by Aaron Shust is pretty much my motto right now :)

4. All of a sudden, I really want some tuna fish. On crackers. yummy.

5. Still terrified of driving, but today I did cross some major streets. :) yay!

I like you dear readers, or, nobodies. teehee!

Blahfull Tuesday

If my tuesday must be made of blahs, I will at least write in a bright color.

Today I meant to get up at nine. That would ensure me eight hours of sleep which I think is reasonable. Then I could have time alone before my mother came home from work and be ready to begin some real work by noon. Well. I slept through the alarm and woke up at 11:18. oops. This began the blahs, as it is so hard to get going so late in the morning.

Soon I must leave to go inquire about a job at some fast food restaurant quite a walk away from my house. It would be a good walk, but quite honestly I am terrified of crossing busy streets. Yes, pathetic, I know. I am also terrified of talking to people about getting a job. What do I say? "Hi um, I was told to come here now, um.." Also, it is raining. As I recall, last summer when I was looking for jobs it was raining as well.

After I go on my grand terrifying adventure (maybe I can pretend to be a wilderness explorer or something... that makes me think of Russell on Up. teehee!), I'm going to do some work for my mama in the kitchen. Cleaning shelves. She's paying me for it, I'm not that amazing of a daughter. ha.

Tonight is Glee though, so at least the blahs will lift by nine o'clock.

Have a lovely blahless Tuesday!

For the Record...

For the record, I hate driving. Or maybe I don't hate it. Maybe I'm T E R R I F I E D of it. Yeah, I think that's it.

Also, I'm going to start wearing headscarves sometimes. They're a nice accessory. People will look at me funny and it will DRIVE ME CRAZY, but my southern Ohio town needs to think a bit about the world. I like the way they look, and I'm sure they're very handy for days I don't feel like washing my hair. Also, they're the international way of saying, "Don't bother me" and I like that.

Tonight I'm going to make Key Lime bars. from a box. They might not be any good, but from the package they are the loveliest shade of green-- I couldn't resist.

So that's that. The bajillionth day of cloudiness, a whole week of being apart from my college friends, still no job. ...working on it.

Tomorrow is Friday!

Just thoughts

I can't shake the feeling I'm being ignored. I was so excited...

Does tragedy happen to every group of friends? I've thought of that before.

I hate job searching. I know I'm some dweebey college student looking for a part-time summer job. You can stop looking down on me now. I respect authority.

Jodi Picoult needs to take a rest on her gripping, depressing books and write about rainbows and butterflies for a little while.

Well.

Enough.

I had a lovely strawberry smoothie with a friend today. :)
