  • “I fall too hard, I feel too much” -Jan Arden-


     


    My best friend is FINALLY home & I haven't even seen her yet. I suck at life, seriously.



     


    My mom had a nightmare that there was a bloody mass murder at my birthday party- now she’s freaking out & subsequently freaking me out. Thanks, Mom.


     


    21 Marines from Northeast Ohio have died in Iraq within the past 48 hours. I cried when I watched the news today- such senseless deaths, such ridiculously greedy reasons for going to war. I cried & mourned the deaths of local men whom I have no personal ties to & then my grief was replaced by anger. I hate this President- I can only pray that in three years, Americans will be wiser. It’s a tragedy that it’s taking so many painful deaths to get to that point.


    <<<>>>


     


    It’s that time of the summer when lethargy begins to set in- when you’re sort of sick of muggy days & late nights & never having a set schedule. When stores put out their fall clothes & you begin to fantasize about wearing corduroy jackets & dark-wash denim & walking to class amidst falling leaves & other such preposterously uninteresting things. I’m ready for this Kent thing… I just want it to get underway!


    ((()))


     


    I’m also beginning to miss OU- wondering how I could transfer & leave everything I knew… and then I read old “friends’” sites & I remember what it felt like to be left out & alone in a crowd & to feel out of place amongst my own sisters… I remember how it felt to live with girls who could drop me like that... and I remember that I am finally where I wanted so badly so be for the past three years… and that's when it becomes easier not to miss OU.




     


    A lot on my mind… maybe it’s that time of year. Maybe it’s the turning-21-&-feeling-like-an-adult thing. Maybe it’s just my overly analytical mind. Whatever the hell it is, it can go away any time now…

  • i like your new layout thingy. polka dots are always amazing.

    also: over the last four years, i saw kids who were hardcore republicans become more and more liberal. i don't know if it's trendy for kids to vote democrat or something these days, but whatever their reason for doing it, let's hope the trend continues.

  • It's been so long since I've seen Christina.

  • I had known of one that died so far, Daniel AKA Nate Deyarmin. Another is[was] in the same battallion as these men killed, and they haven't updated yet the names of the men from today, so we're still waiting to hear. His name is Nate Ickes; he married the eldest of the children in a family I grew up with; neighbors and family friends. They just married in the fall...

    I hope- I pray we don't see his name as one of those casualties...

    All we can do is pray for these men...as well as Bush, that he may be granted wisdom from God and that he may forgo the most appropriate actions for our country..........................

  • Suck at life? That's a little harsh! I guess that means I suck at life too, lol... I miss you soo stinkin much- when are you free?

  • Let me just say I wish you lived closer so we could hang out, I think our conversations would be very interesting. :) I feel the same way about our president.  That is one reason why I don't like to watch the news anymore.  It's not like I don't care, I just get really upset and frustrated sometimes about his decisions about a lot of things.  I can't handle hearing about my friends' boyfriends or husbands getting deployed to go to Irag.  A part of me sympathizes and a part of me has so much anger about the whole situation.  Dealing with a dying friend or family member is never easy.  I just had to attend a funeral yesterday, and it was so much harder than I thought it would be.  I have known her ever since she was born, she was only 18 years old and her birthday was 12 days before the accident.  She was driving home from Cincinnati and lost control of the car.  It was amazing to see how many people where there to pay their respects and to see how loved she was.  It really puts some things into perspective in my life. 

    On top of that, I am also having the worst week of my life... I guess it could be worse, but it's just been awful.  Take care and I hope to hear from you soon :)

  • Thanks for the book advice!! I agree about President Bush.... It's terrible to see all of our troops going over there and not knowing if they'll ever return... and for what?? Even if the country wises up before the next election, he can't be president again anyways, so I guess there is a good side to all of this... unless he has a son or something... which he doesn't... that would suck... but anyways, to find your books on that half.com thing.. where did you get the #'s from the back of the book? Should I go to Kent and find the books and copy down the #'s... I think I need them to find the books online! Have a great day!!

  • i love your hair long. sorry my comments aren't long and wonderful, guess i don't know you well enough. haha. i feel you on the deaths thing. my brother was in afghanistan for a year. thank God he came home safe.

  • By the way, I love that... "I fall too hard, I feel too much."

  • i know what you mean about the walking to class thing...except i'll be doing it for the first time! I'm very excited :)

  • Thanks so much!!

  • ksu is boss. you will like it.

  • that little hot dog thing peeking up in the back to school picture is odd. but i like him.
    i just may talk to you sometime, im finding that its easier to talk to some people nowadays. i jsut get verbally dyslexic when it ry to express myself.
    i will fshizzle make you a friendship bracelet and some bows. im sorta low on ribbon but i can make a bunch and send em to you. does it matter which kind? and what colors do you like (for your friendship bracelet)? ive got literally a whole rainbow
    my brother hangs out with weird kids nowadays. emo kids. what the...

  • whoaa i like your long hair.

  • Hey, my best friend came to town and didn't even call me (granted, it was because she'd switch phones and didn't have my #).

    I hate this president, too.  A bill is going before the supreme court that will (if passed) okay the use of "Imminent Domain" for economic benefit, which basically means that the gov't can take your land and give it to a developer in order to build the economy (aka: stealing).  The supreme court has typically shot down these kinds of things with a fiery vengeance, but now that he's got his pawns in... I dunno.

  • have they released the marine names of all of them yet? i have a friend in the marines from macedonia and im terrified he's one of them...nevertheless this whole situation just sickens me.
