New Addiction

FelicityI love this show SO MUCH. And it's all thanks to my best friend Charlotte.

So me and Kimberlee watched episodes 1-8 on saturday from 4:00 that afternoon til 3:30 in the morning, with one dinner break and one putt putt break. And let me just say that was a great way to spend a saturday.

This show has it all. it's like real college life. No joke. Straight up. It's the perfect amount of drama but without being over the top or fake. I really do love it. And so lucky to get it as a gift from my friend. I think finals week might just be dominated by us watching this show obsessively. Im ok with that. I think all but one of my teachers, if i showed them this show, would be ok with it too. Haha.

It's so hard not to over analyze the show and be all symbolic about it like- which character is which of my friends and things such as that. I know it's silly, I just love the show.

Next to One Tree Hill, this is the best show I have seen.

No lie.

The many faces of Amy Holden

So, this weekend I was not just Amy Holden. Let me list out for you the many facets of life I chose to embrace this weekend:

1.haistylist
2.toga designer
3.champion bowler
4.witness in a police report
5.bargain finder
6.awkward friend
7.negotiator

And each of one of these has great stories to go along with them!!

1. my lovely roommate Brooke Laws had a party Saturday night that she needed to look HOTT for. And, since her hair is about down to her butt(not really but that girl does have some long hair), she needed me to curl it for her. And might i say it looked great!

2. This party she attended wasn't just any party, it involved TOGAS! So i helped wrap her up in her toga. So presh.

3.this one basically speaks for itself. A bunch of us went bowling for Mark's birthday last night from 12-2. So much fun. And I was a champion...in my own heart atleast.

4.Ruth had a wreck Saturday while we were driving to the oh so marvelous flea market. it was sad. but we are fine and so is Ruth's car. Yet I am still a witness in the report. I felt somewhat important.

5. I always love bargains. And i always love food. So finding food for a bargain is the ultimate. I went to Moe's and got a whole meal for $1.54. I know. Incredible.

6.Well everyone knows im awkward. Best capture of this was last night, while bowling, after Stephen and Kim did a victory kiss I said, "it's great that we have a group where friends kiss in front of friends". 5 minutes later, after I bowled a strike, I offered my cheek to kim for a victory kiss...then to Stephen. HA. He kindly declined.

7. So, despite popular belief, I might be good at business deals. That is vague. And thats ok. Ha. It's not sketch, for the record.

my GIRLS

So today, we awoke and thought "let's lay out!" This turned out to be an excellent decision, not only because of the warm weather, tanness, and sun, BUT ALSO because of the great photo op it allowed for. I felt like I was at the beach for a while today, and that makes me happy. Good start to the day.

WHEW!

So Spanish class has been making me beyond nervous lately. Wednesday we had our Oral Spanish Exam. We were given a partner and a topic and she took notes and graded us while we discussed stuff. A of all, speaking Spanish outlouded and being graded makes me nervous in general. B of all, it was with this guy Andrew who intimidates me and who I can't speak around, C of all....it was just scary. BUT I got my grade on it today....and really I was expecting like a C. A solid C. BUTTTTTTTTTTTT I got a 96 A!!!!!! I know, a miracle. :) it brightened my day though. Here is the day brightner:
I promise it says 96! Even though it's unreadable! I was so happy.

10 inches of snow=fun

We played in the snow from 10:30 til 12:30! This snow playing involved lots of roommate love, including roommate tackling. Lots of sledding down a big hill. Some demolision of snowmen.



A few snow snacks on our long hike to the hill. Some tripping and falling. And very cold hands and ears. BUT it was worth it. Snow rocks. And there was 10 inches of it! It came up to my knees! A ton of fun.

Please let it snow. I'm going to wear my lucky "let it snow" socks. That should do the trick. Here's a quick picture of those fuzzy delights:

Conflicting smells

The smell of flowers and cologne fill my room bringing confusion and uncertainty.

Be patient
Be patient
Be patient


One has to go eventually.

Mystery Solved

I received these beautiful flowers today with a note that said:
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27

It was very sweet. So i called my dad and said thanks for the flowers and he had no idea what I was talking about. Weird. Then I asked my sister if she had sent them. She didn't either. Last option was David-which would have been unexpected. I decided to leave it as a mystery....

Yeah right- I had my roommate find out for me :) they were from David as an encouragement. He is a sweet man that's for sure. I am thankful for him and the encouragement he gives me.

pretty flowers are a pick me up to any day.

The end.

New piercings should be a bi, if not tri yearly event.

Who would've thought you could get a piercing for $5? Well it's true. Jackson, Tn's local walmart folks. That's where it's at.

Grand total of my ear piercings: 6

Addiction? Possibly.
Am I swayed by my friends to act impulsively on occasion? Most definitely.

This is the sounds that's made...

No one ever told me
It would come to this
What began with such a promise
Would end with such a twist

I lean into the whisper
But I don't hear a thing

It's a tear in the dark
All alone in the car
In pieces, in pieces
It's the sound of mistake
As I lie here awake
Sleepless, sleepless

This is the sound that made
When a heart breaks

Everybody's laughing
Maybe that's just me
Does something unrequited
Mean it will never be

I lean into the whisper
But I don't hear a thing

It's a tear in the dark
All alone in the car
In pieces, in pieces
It's the sound of mistake
As I lie here awake
Sleepless, sleepless

This is the sound that made
When a heart breaks

Please don't leave me here

Life, for now, I've come to fear
You've dropped me off and left me here
With nothing here to find my way
But the lights you take as you pull away

Far ahead the brush is moving
There's others here and good is proving
Nothing's wrong, it's in my mind
Nothing's wrong and I'll be find

It's a tear in the dark
All alone in the car
In pieces, in pieces
It's the sound of mistake
As I lie here awake
Sleepless, sleepless

The kids were having tons of fun today.



But me....not so much

Yesterday: My car died because the battery was bad. So I got a new battery.

Today: My car died because my transmission was screwed up. So someone came and towed it. And it's in the shop.

I am very sad and frustrated that I own crap things. So is life.

Thoughts for the night

Well let's see here. I am feeling strange tonight. Not like sick strange, just emotions strange, if that makes any sense at all. I don't know what's up with me. I feel mundane and comfortable and rather bored. It's bugging me. And I'm not sure if I should seek more excitement or just be ok with the fact that when you've been a certain way for such a long time, it's natural to be comfortable and not as exciting as when you first started ok. I just have alot to think through. Is this what I really really want-what I can't see myself without. Or is this just good and comfortable but why change it. I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't think about it as much as I do. I don't want to make a decision that I am going to ultimately regret. But I don't want to waste people's time either. I want real honesty, real communication concerning this. I don't even know my own emotions/feelings right now. I mean I know. I know how I feel. But I don't. That makes no sense. I am a confusing girl. Oh goodness. When I look at my life in ten, thirty, forty year is this what I want? That's what I need to figure out. The fire is gonna eventually die out a bit for everyone, it's just a matter of when. Or is it possible to have it where the fire never dies and there is always that excitement and newness and growing and fun. Comfortable and mundane maybe is a good thing. Its real that way I guess, not just lovey dovey. I'm such a rambler it kills me. Rant is ending now. Ok. I'm gonna figure this out.
