You don't live unless you do the things you think you can't.

I called Ellie yesterday. It was so fun to talk to her. I miss her so much. I wish she could come home and we could have a party with our little group. I guess this is a learning experience for us. We're all learning how to communicate in new ways. Phone, facebook, e-mail, the list goes on. I've never been a big lover of change, but I've really had to embrace a lot of it lately.

Wednesday was my birthday. It was a really fun day. I drove to school because it was a half day so I went to get coffee. Turns out it was double punch day at Tan-A-Latte so I got two punches on my coffee card and I got a new bakery card for scones and muffins. So that was an excellent way to start the day. When I got to school, there was a whole bunch of people standing waiting for me in the lobby. I was so overwhelmed, they got me presents and really awesome cards. Sydnie got me this ginourmous bear and he's so cute and soft. I love him, his name is Patrick. She's so sweet. She also got me a Curious George and a really cool picture frame with this great picture of her and Shelli and me. Jenna got me scrapbooking things and cupcakes, the list goes on. People were so nice. I still can't believe it. I don't get it. I didn't do anything and they just, man, it was so awesome.

Today was career day. I actually put some thought into it this time. I really have no idea what I want to do with myself. I really don't even have much in the way of life goals. I know I want to go to college and everything and I want to have a careeer, but I also know I want to get married and have a bundle of kids, so I don't know. Anyway, I went to Journalism, Interior Design, Architecture, and Graphics Design. I actually learned some stuff and have maybe a better idea about things.

I think that's about it for the update. Hopefully, I'll get back into the swing of writing posts and write better than the last few have been.

Keep on truckin' everybody!

I would stand in line for this. It's always good in life for this. Oh baby, oh baby, Then it fell apart, it fell apart.

It's quite possible that I am the only one who does this, but do you ever plan something to perfection. You examine every single possibility of things that could go wrong and you formulate a plan that has no chance of failing. Then, it all falls apart because of one little thing, one person's opinion. It's not really a real reason, it's just someone being human, and you not having thought of this one. I know that's extremely hypothetical, but most of you know what I'm talking about. I can apply the same basic situation to several other situations in my life. With this most recent one, I was so mad at myself because I wanted to have some great uplifting thought that would make everything better, but all I could think of was, "Wow, this really sucks." I couldn't come up with some great situation to get myself out of it, it was just so frustrating. I guess it was just the realization that I can't control how everything works out, the thought that just because I plan them well, doesn't mean things will work out. That is probably one of the things that I really need to work on. Just letting go, I suppose is the simplest way to put it.

The talent show was Tuesday night. That was fun. I didn't think I would enjoy it all that much, but I did. I did what I always do. I stood around with my friends and chatted and laughed. It always makes for a pleasant evening. I guess Jordan and Sydnie came to visit me at work, but I got off early so I wasn't there. I felt very bad about that, but at the same time, it made me feel really good to know that they had wanted to come visit me.

Pow, if you can name the artist in my post title, you either know me way to well, or you looked it up on Google, or you are incredible. I hope it's that you are incredible, which I already think you are. Yeah, but guess, just try it. I love that song and I don't care what anyone says.
