talent
harry potter

of course that isn't all; it's just what i know are dominating button clickers in my mind. all of those things have side notes...the side notes have side notes. if i took claymation...wallace and gromit..england...british life on a rainy day....the borrowers....clocks...peter pan...alice in wonderland....old disney....my great grandparents...their old maze of a backyard....the giant footsteps...imagination....summer night adventures....tropical flower scent in the air....california driveways....laughter and my family...good food...warm beds...memories...being terrified of thunder storms....it doesn't end. inspiration is in so many things and in different ways. one thing might inspire you to create something artistic, another might inspire you to call somebody to talk. it's all different, but it's a great personal subject. inspiration is like my favorite thing 

I would LOVE to be a part of something like this

2010:
my new years resolution was to run a 5k. i did! other goals included getting my hair white, and getting my license/car. i wanted to finish my room perfectly to my imagination, and i did it. i was accepted into dental assisting, and i went to every concert i was dying to. i drank all together about a gallon of soda and learned things i never thought i could keep up with, like my medical terminology. with all little things included, my year went very well in sequence to my goals.

2011:
this year i want to keep up my streak of accomplishment. i want to build my running endurance and choose which college to attend. i want to grow out my hair without killing out my pigment and just be healthy. i want to gain confidence in snowboarding, which is already happening, and not sweat drama. i want to save money. i want to reread all seven harry potter's, and get into a new hobby. i want to complete my extern-ship and high school with pride. i want to have good relationships with everyone around me and make other people smile. i want to write more poetry to expand my English vocabulary and self-enunciation.  i want to stay on top of my life at every moment. a break will be good to take every now and then, but i want to leave procrastination out of my routines. i want to go on more hikes than i ever have, and buy the camera i keep stealing from my best friend and my mom. i want to give to others, and create something new. i want to have the best experiences and travel. i know as i stay true to myself, this could end up being the greatest year yet.

Punctuality

man naturally loves delay,
and to procrastinate;
business put off from day to day
is always done too late.

let every hour be in its place
firm fixed, nor loosely shift,
and well enjoy the vacant space,
as though it were a gift.

and when the hour arrives, be there,
where'er that "there" may be;
uncleanly hands or ruffled hair
let no one ever see.

if dinner at "half-past" be placed,
at "half-past" then be dressed.
if at a "quarter-past" make haste
to be down with the rest

better to be before your time,
than e'er to be behind;
to ope the door while strikes the chime,
that shows a punctual mind.

- Lewis Carroll

Harriet! Harry-it,
hard-hearted harbinger of haggis...
Beautiful, bemuse-ed, bellicose butcher.
Un-trust... ing.
Un-know... ing.
Un-love... ed?
He wants you back, he screams into the night air like a fireman going to a window that has no fire...
except the passion of his heart.
I am lonely!
It's really hard!
This poem... sucks.

Your argument for atheism is this: "There was a time where the church ruled and everybody believed in God, these were called the Dark Ages." Okay, people believed in magic and witches, and technology was hardly advanced, right? Well just as technology has advanced, so has religion, and the relative belief in God. Remember when the Earth was flat? That was quite the discovery. Remember when African American people weren't allowed into the LDS church? Remember when the effects of cigarette smoking were actually a punishment given to you by God? The idea of a higher power is not primitive. Certain beliefs and ideas are, and they evolve as the Earth does. There is nothing valid about using the religious beliefs of hundreds of years ago to try and prove a point. We, as humans, grow and become more intelligent as the years go by. We leave beliefs behind and conjure new discoveries. I am not a religious person, but in my life spirituality is a key. I keep in tune with the universe, which is my higher power. I'm a strong believer in personal power and realization. I believe in living in peace and acceptance with the rest of the world. I really have nothing against atheism, I'd just like to hear a better reasoning. I've also heard the case of "Kids are starving in Africa and people are dying of cancer, where's God?" That's an even worse argument. Miracles happen everyday and so do tragedies. Part of living on Earth is that there is good and bad. If everything were perfect that would completely destroy the point of being here.

my conclusions from tonight:

in junior high there were parents who said i was "rebellious". i was in the way of having boyfriends when i wasn't allowed, but i never did anything bad with them, only enjoyed their company. i never snuck out of my house, went past kissing, vandalized, or did drugs. i never even swore.

Jim Gaffigan can make me laugh very hard, and it hurts when I've just had a cup of lemonade and a cup of tea. Cory tickling only adds to the pain.

boys are my favorite gender when it comes to fun. i love their energy and what they choose to focus it on. boys, however, are not my favorite when it comes to personal relations and emotional subjects. they sicken me and i just want to punch them all and never let one in on my feelings. i do have the best conversations with boys. they always make me think and they always make me smile. i appreciate them.

drugs really gross me out...but i already knew that. i'll take that adrenaline high thank you. boarding, running, hiking, laughing..
