I'd forgotten how much fun it is to blog!

So, I've officially decided that myspace is stupid. It's only a matter of time before I delete mine. I used to blog all the time on myspace, and then I slowly stopped...and now with this stupid blogger thing that I joined because of someone, I'm blogging again.

Not that I'm complaining. Like I said, I'd forgotten how much I like to blog. There's something so freeing about writing out all of your thoughts for the world to read, and yet, more than likely only a handful of people ever will. So, I know you're all just dying to know what's on my mind tonight besides blogging and the stupidity of myspace.....so......I'll move along to give you a taste of what's going through my mind at the moment:

I'm so glad that some things in life never change. As much as all people change and grow or change for the worse, there are some friends in my life that despite how much I've watched them grow (and, honestly, struggle at times) deep down inside our relationship hasn't changed a bit. And, words don't even have to reassure me of that fact - it's in their eyes. In the warmth of their smile. In the way their voice STILL softens when they talk to me after all these years of friendship. And, it's so comforting to be able to understand them better than most people do. It's so nice to be so familiar with them that I really truly can tell you what they meant to say or what they're feeling by the look on their face. And, I also love the fact that after years and years of friendship, there's still that tender place in my heart towards them. A soft, mushey spot, if you will.

Yes, in a world full of things that change all the time, it's so nice to know that some things still haven't changed. Heck, narrow the focus of that statement - in my lifetime, my affections and my mushieness towards people has changed so much, coming and going and coming and then going again...so it's so refreshing to be around the few friends that my heart has never let slip away...the friends that I think will forever hold a soft place in my heart...friends who can say everything and so much more with one smile and one look from their eyes. :)

I'm only posting because I'm bored

If anyone tells you that a life of leisure is the best life possible, do me a favor and SLAP THE HECK OUT OF THEM!!! I've been jobless since I got home for the summer (I am NOT jobless on purpose, I've been looking everywhere for a job and haven't been willing to settle for food service jobs) and it's been driving me absolutely insane. I've been doing my best to keep busy and be productive, but you know, life with nothing to do day after day gets to you after awhile. Here are some things I've resorted to in order to keep me busy:

- I have read (I kid you not) 15 full size books in the month and a half that I've been home.
- I have cleaned the entire house once by myself
- I have created two HUGE collages of pictures to hang in my new apartment
- I have helped both of my sisters pack up their things and move
- I have filled up one and a half paper journals writing about whatever comes to mind
- I have re-memorized the books of the Bible
- I have memorized an entire chapter in the Bible (granted, it was 1 Corinthians 13, not exactly the most difficult passage in the Bible to commit to memory)
- I have written, edited, or improved upwards of 30 poems
- I have done a better job keeping in contact with friends than I ever have in my life, writing at least one facebook message a day and calling and texting way too much
- I have gone to the lake almost four times in the last two weeks
- I have actually googled and saved to my computer pictures of places I am going to travel to one day.

And that's just the start! I've absolutely refused to turn into a mindless drone who sits and watches TV all day. I avoid turning on the TV like little boys avoid Michale Jackson (Oops - did I just say that? Certain guys in my life are rubbing off on me more than I thought) because I've so wanted to keep active and productive.

But, as time marches on my list of things to do grows smaller and smaller. I'm hoping to find a job to finish out the summer with so I don't feel like I've wasted my ENTIRE summer...it's even harder when I get made fun of for not being a "real adult" because I'm not working!

All the cool kids are doing it...

So, I heard that all the cool kids are getting a blog on blogger...so here I am, trying to be cool yet again. You would think I would have learned my lesson about not trying to be cool when I jumped in the pool at that party...oh wait, that wasn't me - that was that girl on Boy Meets World...which brings me to the real point that I just now decided to make:

How many times have you experienced something in real life and thought "wow, that was just like that scene from _____" ? Shouldn't it be the other way around? I mean, I think it is now my official goal to live my life in such a way that I watch a movie and comment "Hey - that's just like the time I ______" (Blank to be filled in later, lol)

Anyways, that's just a little insight into the way I think. Hope it didn't scare you off too much. I'll write more later! Be blessed!
