Rockin was awesome

Wow, the Coldrain concert was awesome. They wore masks and had flippin sweet choreography and Jess was so COOL!!! I just LOVE her voice. And then Jesse had some awesome solo's that rocked. Nathan drummed like none other, lol, he drummed my socks off,lol (even though i wasn't wearing any, lol). Isaac was wonderful as always. He's an awesome musician and he suites Coldrain, lol. YAY! and I got a Coldrain t-shirt and had them sign it sooo I am way happy now.

I dressed very prettily this morning for the first part of the day and everyone thought I was pretty. Then after dinner (I didn't go cause I was busy sleeping, lol) I got dressed in my gothic outfit and put on my gothic make-up. I even had a light gold eyeshadow mask that I brushed on. I loved it. And I wore my huge doggy collar and my huge hoop earrings. I looked awesome.

Nothing else happened today, cept the concert. So that's all I got to talk about for now.

Peace out

Another day, another night, lol

Yuppers, I'm here again. Today was a sad day today really. My friend Shannon was kicked out of Central and she had to move out tonight. She didn't know whether or not she would be on the streets or if someone would let her stay with them for a few weeks. On of our faculty here at Central decided that he didn't want to see her on the street and decided to pay for a bus ticket from Columbia, MO to Oklahoma City, OK. That was such a blessing. That's why I like it here because we are like one huge family. But I am sad because I won't see her again.. unless she stops in and visits which I hope she does. I also aquired a new fish. He is silver with light light gold stripes and he is pretty big. He is a goldfish, so I have two now, lol. I love both of them. I think I am going to call my new fish Tiger. Cause he looks like an albino-ish tiger, with his gold stripes and silver body. So pretty, lol.

Other than that, I've nothing else to really speak about. OH!! The Coldrain concert is tomorrow as well as Halloween!!!! I love both Coldrain AND Halloween. Mwahahahahaha :D

Ok, thats really all I got.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

Here :D

I'm here again at my desk just hanging out and being bore. Today was a semi good day. It went by pretty quickly. I got assigned to be a banner person in my schools Christmas musical today in choir and that made me happy. I get to run around with a stick with little banners on it and dance around. It's going to be cool, lol. Then chapel was good today as well. Afterward I came back here to my room and went to sleep, I slept through lunch cause I was so tired. Then I woke up for my voice lessons but when I got to the classroom Ms. Lewis had posted a sign saying that Wednesday voice students didn't have lessons today cause her daughter was sick. I was sorta happy even though I do like voice lessons. I have to memorize my song Lasciatemi Morire aka No longer let my languish. It's a canto from the opera "Ariana" and it's in Italian. I like it, it's a very haunting melody talking about the anguish of love and what not. So when I found out I didn't have the sessions today I came back to my room and went back to sleep until dinner at 5. Then after I was done eating I chased Lucma around, trying to tickle him. It was fun. I scared my friends Isaac and Jonathan though cause I was ducking through and under some thingies we use to make a line for the cafeteria, lol. He escaped but there is always tomorrow. Then I headed back here and went to Jess' room to hang out for a few hours. Now I'm back in my room at my desk just surfing the web and being bored, like I said, lol.

So, that's it for now.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

Tired tired, bleh

Today seemed long. I was tired all day, but I went to all my classes. I fell asleep in Foundations though cause I could barely keep my eyes open. Then I went to dinner and ate and then came back here and took a short nap before karate. Then I went to karate and we got to spar. It was fun. I got a lot of hits in and didn't get hit a lot. I like sparring. Even though I don't have my sparring gear. Like that'll happen soon, lol. I'm a poor college student, lol. But I don't mind.

Ok, I think I'm going to finish my homework and wait for Josh to get on and then go to bed later on... I like to stay up late, lol :D tsk tsk

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

blah bleh I'm here *pounces out* Lllllaaaaa llaaa la

Ok, I'm just weird, lol.

I finished putting up the Coldrain fliers today, and then I cleaned out the two fish bowls and gave my friend back her fish that I'd been fish-setting and then I passed back out until dinner and then me and my friend Becky took me out to Santa Fe and we had a chicken quisadilla ( I know I didn't spell that right, lol.. I can't always be a genius :D) and had chips, salsa, queso dip, water, and we both got a strawberry virgin daquery ( don't think I spelled that right either... jesh, guess I can't spell today.. oh wells, lol ) then I came back and sorta had a stomach ache from all the greasy goodness and then watched part of Ella Enchanted and munched on some really good fried chicken that was from gospel choir tour (they got back today) and then I went and hung out with Jess and Nicki in their room for a few minutes and then went upstairs to watch a little bit of phantom of the opera and I also read some more of new moon, from the Twilight series.

Thats it.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

Here... la de da... :D

Just laying here on my bed singing to the Mamma Mia soundtrack. Which I love. It's awesome. Nothing much happened today. I just went to church and then came back here, so my lovely boring dorm, and went back to sleep until 5. Then I got up and finished re-reading the first book of the Twilight series. I love Edward, lol *sigh* I can't wait to watch the movie when it comes out. Now I'm just waiting for my friend Ashely to get done with the second book tonight and until then I'm reading a romance, lol, called Megan's Mark. It's like my third time reading this book. I always read all my book over and over. I've got a bunch of them memorized, lol. Oh, well. That's a part of my life. It's fun and keeps me entertained. Just waiting for Josh to get on and for notifications to pop up on my facebook so I can do something and not go bonkers. I would be watching a movie right now but all my movies aren't here, they're in Kansas. I wish they were here *sigh* but it's also good that they aren't. I'd prob. not leave my room. I love movies a lot, lol.

Well, since I've got nothing more to write about right now, I'll let you go and continue on with my book.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

What?! I'm heres, sitting and typing, lol

Yup, I'm definitely laying here on my bed blogging again. It's so fun, lol. Nothing really happened today, cept I almost laughed to death again during brunch. I don't even remember what we were talking about this time, but it was funny, I can tell you that at least, lol. After brunch I decided to go ahead and do some work (putting up the Coldrain fliers I'd made to advertise the concert Halloween night) and I was tacking them up for about 2 hours or so cause I had to run around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to find a guy RA to sign the fliers for the guys dorms. Argg, lol. After all that was done I went to dinner and ate with Isaac and Brian. That was entertaining. Isaac poked fun at me cause I don't like a lot of things, like cards and cooked fruit and Cinnamon... But I'm picky sometimes, lol. After that I came back here and surfed the web, cleaned my fishes and the fish, Dorrie, that I'm fish-sittings tank.. again, lol. They're happy again. Then I went back over to Pelfery for a while and printed some things off. I don't have a printer in my room, lol... *sigh* sad sad sad.

Ahhh. So that was my day. Now I'm just laying here listening to the Dixie Chicks and reading Twilight again, lol. Waiting for peoples to get online and what not. Nothing more... boring, boring. But that's how some of my nights roll, lol.

Ok, I'm heading out, so have a good night.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

I'm just here :D

I'm just sitting here again at my computer. I'm currently cutting out fliers for the Coldrain concert on Halloween. It's fun and I'm glad to do it. Jess and Nicki are home, and Jess and the rest of Coldrain had band practice today. I hope it went alright cause Jess has been sick with a cold or something.. I think I gave it to her and she gave it to Nicki. It finally stopped sprinkling today and is instead coldish. I felt sorry for the soccer players and all the fans watching today, cause it was pretty cold. I don't know if we won or the other college did, but I'll find out at brunch tomorrow. Maybe, lol.

Nothing else is happening and I'm all out of talking for right now. But I'll be back soon, lol, like always.

Peace out

At the Cross

Oh Lord You’ve searched me
You know my way
Even when I fail You
I know You love me

Your holy presence
Surrounding me
In every season
I know You love me
I know You love me

At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was she'd for me
There’s no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now

You go before me
You shield my way
Your hand upholds me
I know You love me

You tore the veil
You made a way
When You said that it is done

And when the earth fades
Falls from my eyes
And You stand before me
I know You love me
I know You love me

Today in chapel, Gospel Choir did the worship. This one of the songs that they sang, at the end. It was amazing. This song just gives us so much hope and love and shows that we know He loves us. Nothing is greater than knowing He loves me through thick and thin and He will always be there for every single on of us. It's just so mind-boggling and amazing. I know You love me LORD, I know and I am thankful.

God has already worked so many miracles in my life. Without Him guiding my every step and holding my hand when I cross a canyon, I wouldn't be sitting here blogging to you. I'd be somewhere dark and alone, with Satan laughing at me. I'd have no life, no joy, no hope. God has given me this and so much more. This song just opens my eyes more to this fact. He is a GREAT and LOVING and WONDROUS God, whom my heart will always belong to, as well as every other part, because he knit me together in my mothers womb and gave me this very life to live. To live it and spread His word to the lost, the broken, the weary, the struggling. To EVERYONE!! No one should be left out. NO ONE!! He created each of us and He will sit back and wait patiently for you to come to Him. He's not a God who forces, He's a God who loves and nudges along. You have to take that leap of faith. You have to reach up and let Him pull you into His lap, because He's your father. He's your everything. So don't forget that as you walk around this world, breathing and talking and living. He gave you the power to sustain life. Without Him, you're basically dead and you don't know it. Or maybe you do, but you're afraid or don't know how to take the leap. There are so many people out there who will genuinely help you. There is no need to fear. God will not hurt you, or degrade you, or drag you down into the dirt. He won't beat you, yell at you, leave marks on you. He's the one who'll protect you. Protect you from ALL worldly things. This life is just worldly unless its a life filled with God, a life filled with His miracles, a life where you teach His word to others. Nothing can bring fulfillment like God and His love.

God made a sacrifice. God sent His son, so he could wash away our sins. Will you take that leap into His arms, and make a sacrifice yourself? Will you accept His love? I did and I still do. You can as well.

Oh Lord You’ve searched me
You know my way
Even when I fail You
I know You love me

Your holy presence
Surrounding me
In every season
I know You love me
I know You love me

At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was she'd for me
There’s no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now

You go before me
You shield my way
Your hand upholds me
I know You love me

You tore the veil
You made a way
When You said that it is done

And when the earth fades
Falls from my eyes
And You stand before me
I know You love me
I know You love me

A long long battle that tries to drag me under

Ugh, I just got back from karate and I'm feeling down and like crap now. It's like ya, there are so many couples in my karate class. Or just flippin all over the campus. I walk into my lobby and I feel so uncomfortable, I just want to run to my room and bury my head in my pillow and scream and cry. I want to beat the wall until my fists are freakin bloody cause it just rips me to pieces. And it's a battle that Satan wants to win. I know I have to give this up to God, cause He's got a guy for me waiting, but dern, it's hard. I am feeling alone everyday while I see my friends relationships growing. I want someone and I feel empty. The hardest part is always waiting, waiting for that one special man to come along and sweep me off my feet.

I walk around school and I try to picture myself with the guy that I like at the time. I know that I shouldn't but it's like I want to feel that love, that fulfillment, someone to freakin ask me how my day was, hug me, and spend time together learning about each other and growing in God. But ya, I feel like it's never going to happen. It will if I'm patient, LoL :D

The one guy that knows that I use to like him here doesn't want anything to do with me. And I value his friendship above anything besides God. I don't want to ruin it by showing any feelings, but it freakin hurts to keep it up but I don't care. I want that friendship. I see him differently now, this semester, cause he's beginning to open up and laugh and joke and be dorky. He's happy and that makes me happy. I get this chance to be his friend and see the whole him.... arrg, I'm gonna rip my hair out................ and then there's this other guy that I caught my interest a bit ago, but that's never going to happen cause he's top notch and I'm most likely NOT his type. But he's the sweetest person and I can see God shining in him... soooo ya, I'm going bonkers. And Satan's laughing at me for it.

I'm just going to give it up to God, or try to. Cause if I don't I'm going to go bonkers.
God help me.

Peace out

Just hangin

So ya, I'm just here sitting in Jess' room being like a personal assistant, lol. I've kept up with the event for Coldrain, making sure people are getting invited and there is right info and junk like that. And I get to fish-sit for my neighbor Patty. I had to clean Dorrie's tank cause the water was all gross and there was poo and junk. LoL. It's all better now and Dorrie is happy.

Other than that I'm doing nothing currently. Just hanging out and giving good suggestions, lol. And I've got baked potato/sour cream/ground hamburger breath, lol, cause I just got back from dinner and that's what we had. MmmmMmmmMmmm, lol.

Ok, I guess I'm gonna fly off here cause I don't wanna bore you to much, lol. I'll probably post later on tonight after I'm done with karate.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

just here :)

So, I'm just sitting here blogging about practically nothing really. My day didn't consist of much just the regular.. classes, cappuccinos, eating, talking to friends, watching my beautiful fish, eating some more, laughing, coughing, sleeping, and yawning my head off, lol.

It was chilly and wettish today, I don't think that it rained but it might have during one of the many times I was passed out today. It actually felt good, cause I'm a cold-LOVING kinda person, lol. I hate hot weather, it's grossers, lol :D

Well, I don't think that I have anything else to blog about today, so.....

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

I just wanted to blog and post this event. My friend Jess' band, Coldrain, will be playing Oct. 31, 2008 in front of the Destiny Center which is in front of Cafe 41. The address is 526 W. Reed St, Moberly, Missouri @ 6:00 p.m There will also be two other bands, which I don't know their names. The music will begin around 6:20 p.m so if you're reading this and your close to Moberly, then you might want to come early to get a good view, lol.

I can't wait for Halloween!! I wanna hear Coldrain!!!

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

Bllleeehhhhhhhhhh *sigh*

Ya, sorry I didn't blog yesterday cept early early in the morning, I've been way busy all day. I've been taking care of my friend Jess cause she's got the cold that I still have. I made her some warm tea like I use to when we were roomies our first semester. And then I helped Victoria make a shoe colour choice for the Puma shoes she is ordering. I also had to get my new fish, La'rai, a fish bowl and some pretty blue stones and some extra fish food. He looks so beautiful against the blue rocks :D I love it.

Oh, oh! It's storming as well right now. I love the rain, but I'm scared of lightning. I'm like a bloody lightning rod for some reason. Here on campus I've nearly been struck 4 times. No joke. It sent me into a panic attack each time... ya... so, no wonder I'm scared of it, lol.. It's good a long way away and it's pretty, but not when it's trying to scramble my brains, lol.

So, that's all I've got for now, cause I'm tired and I have to work on my Service and Leadership Training (SALT) questions that are due today, Wednesday the 22nd.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so I was checking up on my mid term grades again cause one of my teachers hadn't put up my grade for that class and I got an A in it. Well that made my GPA go from the amazing 3.37 way up to a 3.40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! Never in MY LIFE!!! WOW again!!!!!! This makes me soooo happy. God has been working wonders in my life this whole semester. I'm amazed each time.

Thank you so much God.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

Sooo, ya

So, here I am, blogging again like I said I would. Open dorms was awesome! All three floors were decorated wonderfully and I enjoyed everything. I have a new tiara I got from a pirate chest and a plastic sword from the punch table, both of which were from third floor whose theme was Pirates of the Caribbean. I got my picture taken with Johnny Depp aka Captain Jack Sparrow! Well a life size cut out anyways... wish it was really him, lol. I also got a beautiful bright orange and silver goldfish from third floor. They had a kiddy pool with 8 or 9 goldfish and I claimed on of them!! I am so happy now. While we're on third floor talk, my friend Bethany made the most awesomist jalapeno poppers ever!!! I was practically drooling over them cause they were so good. I wish there were more left. *cries* Oh well. Second floor's theme was Neverland which was cool. It was decorated like the mermaid lagoon. Very pretty. I didn't get anything from that floor. On my floor, Under the Sea theme as stated a bit ago in one of the other blogs, we had tons and tons of fun. I was in my ex-roomies room, Jess and her sister Victoria. I scarfed a lot of chocolate and played Rock Band most of the time. I even sang on there! They made me mostly sing guy songs, which hurt cause I can't sing lower than second soprano, cause I'm first soprano which is the highest. But I rocked anyways, I got like 97% or 98% each time, so it wasn't that bad. I played bass most of the time when I wasn't singing... I like bass a lot, even in real life, lol. It just vibrates through my whole body and makes me happy :D yes, weird... I know, lol. I also tried drums once... for the first time... I did wonderful! I got 98%!!! I rocked, lol.... ya... sorta, lol. Then in between playing Rock Band and touring the floors and pouncing my friends, I got to sword fight with my friend who dresses as Rufio from Hook... She's from third floor, so that's why. She had a mohawk hair sprayed black and red and had an awesome looking sword. I also got to draw a tribal tattoo on her right arm in black sharpie. Everyone loved it! No joke. Oh, and everyone who passed by my room like it. They said it was homey, clean and really cool. They liked my drawings on my wall and door and liked the way I had my room set up. I agree, lol. It's been this way all three semesters I've been here... grant it this IS my third semester but it counts, lol.

Soooo, that's how open dorms went. Fun, fun and more fun! But I'm exhausted now. It wears you out if you party so long, lol. So, that wraps that up, I think I'm finished with this blog post. I'll catch you all later with more... like always, lol.

Peace out

Done with choir practice

Wahoooooozers, choir practice is finally over. I was there for 4 hours. Didn't dance for 4 hours, just 2 and 1/2, lol. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, my partner made me laugh most of the time, like he always does, lol. We learned the dancing for two of the songs, though I already knew most of the first one, Sleigh Ride, and none of the second on, The best time of the Year. Guh, I can go to sleep now, until dinner in a couple of hours and then I get to come back and wait for open dorms to begin at 6. That will be fun. Our hallway looks totally awesome. My room is clean as well and looks pretty good. I don't decorate the room, just clean it up and make my bed and let my room decoration speak for itself. I've got red and green and blue themes mostly. Red for a set of my curtains and my cover and sheets and the Hawaiian skirt wrap I use as a closet cover.Green for one of my throw pillows and a curtain decoration, and blue for my other set of curtains. I also have a white rug that is fluffy and awesome. The only decoration that I put up for open dorms is the blue tissue paper I put on the light so that it will tint our room blue. To match the hallway. Our hall theme is Under the Sea. It really looks like we're under the sea.

Soooo. I guess that's all I have for right now. I'm pretty tired and my knees are killing me from all that dancing but I'll be back on blogging after the guys leave tonight. I'll probably have some funny stories.. or maybe not. I won't know until it happens.

Peace out

Twilight

Bleh, bleh, bleh, Bleh

Sorry I haven't posted today except for now, I was cleaning my room most of the day and I just got done decorating our hallway for open dorms tomorrow evening. The guys get to come into the girls dorm for 3 hours. Woop!! LoL. Ahhgg. Nothing happened today, so it was pretty boring. I did eat 3 bowls of wonderful chili. MmmmMmmmMmmm, I loved it. Oh! I almost forgot. Something good did happen today. My friend Arthur asked my roommate Beth Ann out... FINALLY!!!!!!!!! Whahoooszers, LoL.

Anywhos, I guess I am done blogging today.. well tonight. I've got to go to bed early cause I have choir practice at 9 in the morning and we have to learn the dances which I already know.. I hate them, lol... but I'll try not to complain to badly. So I'll bid you good night and when I get back from choir practice tomorrow I will tell you more about it. I'll probably be cranky cause I have to get up so early... i'm not a morning person really.... but I'll live, lol. And maybe laugh a bit, or something.

I forgot. Today was my brothers 23 birthday!! He forgot to call me back after getting back from drills. He's in the Kansas national guard. Fun, lol.

Peace out

Heading to my wonderful and comfy bed and going to pass out

Ok, I'm heading off to bed so I can snuggle into my comfy bed with my teddy bear Wall-E... yes, he's named after the robot in Wall-E :D cause I love the robot to death, he's sooooo cute and cuddly and I just want to squeeze hims to death *giggles* Ya, I'm bonkers...

Goodnight and so long, parting will be so much less sorrow :D I'll be drooling until the morrow whence my eyes shall open and I shall wipe away my slumber of heavenly sleep.... twill be horrid that my dreams shall be interrupted by that bright burning sun, but onto the morrow I shall go, whether happy or grumpy.. no one shall know tell the morrow comes. I'll be day dreaming all morrow for the night to follow. Whence then I can sleep and the parting again will be so much less sorrow.

LoL!!!!

Ok, for real. Goodnight.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

Just cause I can

So, bleh. I'm sitting here listening to more music.. like always. I'm just going through my bookmarked pages and deleting old ones and decorating... well tried to anyways... my Firefox web page thingy. Ya, no, not gonna happen, lol. I tried though and that's what counts. So after dinner tonight (dry chicken breast, some funky kool-aid, some small baked potatoes, a huge rice crispy treat and a chocolate chip cookie) I talked with some friends for like an hour or so. It was fun, we talked about a lot of things, some of it which I don't remember cause I am tired, but I'll rememer eventually.. maybe. But ya, no I actually like talking to people once in awhile, which can be a shock to some peoples systems. I'm usually viewed as the recluse, lol.. one of my nicknames is the Black Recluse (cause I wear black all the time and I'm reclusive) and I think it sorta fits me. Maybe, lol. Before dinner though I helped Jess and Victoria with some of their pictures for their wall decoration. I knew how to edit pictures so that was useful to them. It was actually really funny, we laughed a lot and joked about some pics and just hung out.. through I accidentally made the printer in the library go psycho... don't know why, but it doesn't like me. I don't mind though cause I like the computer lab in Pelfrey :D It's a little more loving to me, lol.

That's kinda it for now, I'll eventually blog again later on tonight, I can definetly say that for sure, lol.

P.S - I got a new site I'm on. It's a christian site. http://conversantlife.com/midnightburningashes I don't have a lot on it yet cause I just joined it earlier, but go check out the undiscovered section up in the tabs and listen to the music and stuff. It's pretty nifty :D

Peace out

Results of brunch :)

So, ya, I about coughed one of my lungs up during brunch cause I was laughing so hard. I laughed like almost for an hour, trying not to choke on my hash browns, lol. So me, Isaac, Sarah, and Dustin were sitting at the table eating and we talked about one of our male friends pink sparring gear and laughed at him a bit, just to poke fun, lol. Then we moved onto the topic of midterm grades and how we did. We all did good, lol. Then the conversation moved some how to stop lights and using ketchup (with I ABSOLUTELY HATE!!), mustard, and pickle relish as the light colours. It was quite entertaining, lol. Then we moved to how we've choked on pixie stix and talked about death by pixie stix and how God would be like "How do you die by a tube of sugar?!" LoL. The conversation then reverted to the musical that me and my fellow choir mates will be doing for our Christmas concert and Isaac was like "Is there going to be a baby Jesus? Since it's called the Festival of the King? What is this, a modern production? *laughs* And whats with having a flying squirrel as God's messenger?* We all cracked up over that. I'm so gonna remember that while we work on the drama, lol. Then we joked about the "flying squirrel" and made up some awesome scenarios involving the flying squirrel. Wow. The things me and my friends talk about sometimes. Crazy is just about the only word I can use to describe it. :)

Anywhos - I'm just sitting here listening to some music. It's a bunch undiscovered musicians that are climbing the charts to discovery. One song is called "Afloat" by Caleb and Sol. It's so inspirational and God based. I can't wait to hear more of their music. This is something that I can do homework listening too. Just beautifully made. Wow.

Ok, that's all I got for now. I'll probably post another blog later on today.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

Hrmmm... still awake in the wee early hours of the morning :D

So, I'm sitting here listening to piano music. To be more specific Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio. It's good stuff, I have to honestly say. I love it. You can just sit back, turn it on and let your day just drift away, and let your daydreams come to life. Or you can be sitting here, like me, and work on some homework. It opens your mind and frees those trapped and locked up thoughts you wish would spring forth all the time.... One of my dreams, which is sorta working it's way to happening, is to become a pianist. I compose and play all the time, but I've never been able to record anything. Or write it down, cause I can't read music. Doih! *smacks self* I'm a music major and I can't even read what I'm learning, lol. But God gave me the natural talent of learning by ear, which I am highly grateful for.

I just got done doing some research for the speech that I have due with in the next few speech classes, it's a speech on introducing a speech. Funny, right?! LoL... I also finished writing it out, so I guess I'm ready for it, lol. I really hate giving speeches. I don't like speaking in public. I get soooo scared. Bleh. Oh well. That's why I'm in the class, to help me over come it, and it's sorta working.... I think... maybe... we'll just have to see.

I think that's all the blogging I am going to do for tonight. I'll blog a little more later on in the morning, probably after brunch, which is at 10:30.. we're having hash browns mixed with eggs, cheese, ham, red/green/yellow bell peppers and onions... mmm *drools a little* I can't wait. I love our hash browns. MmmMmmMmm :D Maybe we'll even have the little mini corn dogs.. hopefully :D I love em, love em, love em!

.......................... ???hrmmmm??? ........................

I don't want to stop blogging yet, but what do I want to talk about?

Ok, I know. Autumn. Fall. Leaves. Halloween. Cool breezes... that'll work. So, my desk, well one of them, is by my window. When I look out I can see the front lawn and the drive way and parking spots. As well as the lawn that's in front of Spurling, my dorm. The leaves are turning all kinds of yellows and reds, even oranges. It's soooo beautiful. I love it when they turn. I have a photo I'll put up eventually that I took in between the pictures I took over Fall Break. It's really pretty. That's another thing too, I love photography. Brings the world to life and captures it forever. I love it, love it, love it! Anywhos, back to Autumn. I like it when it starts to get cold as well. I'm the type of person who loves being cold all the time, I'm just warm-blooded, lol. I can't wait for the snow to come either. It's so pure and beautiful. And it's fun to shove peoples heads into the snow, or build Frosty and let some other college students run him over in their truck... ya, fun times, lol.

*Huge sigh* bleh bleh bleh... I think I am getting boring so I'll let you peoples go and bid you goodnight. Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite. If you have to, bite em back :D LoL!!

Peace out

More blogging, just cause :P

Ok, just wanted to blog that we just lost our volleyball game tonight against Ozark Christian College, but we put up one heck of a fight. Go Saints!!

That's it.. for now... like I've said, you won't know when I'll blog again, lol. Oh, and I hope the concert that Hello Kelly was having went well. I'm sad that I had to sit here in my dorm instead of rocking out. But hey, I'll see em again, lol. Never fear! Mwahahaha...... *cough* I shouldn't do that, I'll cough up a lung eventually.. dern cold :(

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

*stretches* aahh, the nap was good :D

I'm awake now. Didn't go to dinner cause the greasy yet yummy fried chicken made me a bit queasy.. haven't gotten sick yet though, lol, thank goodness. So me and my roomie ate a raspberry fruit and grain cereal bar. It was good. Now I'm biting the heads off some gummy bears again and drinking another 7-up. Yay!

Ok, so just a few minutes ago I came upon a verse from the Bible that one of my friends had quoted in response to a note my friend Lisa had made. I didn't even know it existed until now... I'm still reading.. or trying anyways.. the Bible. But as I was reading through the comments I copied it and am pasting it here, because it works for me, since both me and Lisa are struggling with depression, though I am not a cutter anymore. Here it is - 2 Corinthians 4: 16-18 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." - I thought that this popped out to me and gives me the strength to continue living alongside God and giving up my problems to him. He's rescued me from so much crap. Crap the still even now haunts me and makes my life hell. But through him all things are possible.

Soooo, that's all I got again for now. But there will probably be something else to write about in a wee bit. LOL.

Peace out

The beginning of the weekend... Friday!

Ahh, classes are done for the week. Choir went well today, though I couldn't sing worth anything. I sounded like a dying frog. No joke. But I gave my best, like I did in Chapel as well right after class. Worship was awesome, the guy that was singing is always awesome when he sings, and Becky, my friend was playing the piano. She has one of my most beautiful voices I've ever heard. Her passion for God is so evident when you watch her sing, her heart is HUGE too. She's like my second sister. The sermon today was given by my ex-youth pastor, Alan. He's such a great person. He talked about how we as people spend our time. Mostly in Chronos - busy, timed, organized.. instead of Kairos - willinly giving of your time and having a joy of God in your heart. He talked about how we work and work and work and when we have leisure time, we don't spend it with him in our hearts. It's true too, I can see that in myself, I won't lie about it. It is also sad. We need to spend more time doing things in Kairos style and give everything to God. One of the questions that he asked was, "Who are you?" In the heart of reflection, this question is haunting and pursuing. You have to think deeply about who you are, what you're doing with your life and how are you giving your time to God. So heres me asking it. "WHO are YOU?" As you think about it, so will I. I truely want to learn, cause I know that even though I claim to be a Christian, it's always hard to resist sin and temptation, to forget to include God in your life all the time.. instead of just a minute here and there, or a prayer just before bed. God wants us ALL the time, night, day, morning, evening, in the shower, the bathroom, when your sleeping, when your eating or talking.. even while your in class. Thats the big one, well here at Central it is, cause I can look around the classroom and watch as peoples play games or talk on messenger instead of paying attention to the word of God that's being taught. That's why I'm glad I don't have wireless internet, I can't take my computer to class with me. Cause if I did, I definitly know I wouldn't pay attention. I've got bad enough ADD already without that distraction that I don't need anything else. Who are you really? Truely? Completely? Do you belong to God or to society?

Anywho's - I'm sitting here, snuggled under my blanket, wrapped up so I look like a cacoon and listening to music. I was just thinking about the sermon and I wanted to write about it, so that you, my blog followers (if I have any) could think about this yourselves... Oh, oh! I have to blog about this... today just before we got in line for lunch, my friend Brice decided to find out what pepper spray tasted like. Ha! It was soo funny. He spayed like a dime size dallop of it on his hand and licked it. This is what he said - "It tastes like orange.. Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!" and he started to fan is mouth and decided to go get some water. He then went to splash water on his face and got some pepper spray (from his hand) into his right eye. He came back to the table and his face was redder that the dress that I'm currently wearing and he was crying. I can't believe he did that! Amazing! So, me and the other group of friends that were sitting at the table talked about that the whole time we were eating. We had fried chicked and mashed potatoes (mmmmm, I LOVE mashed potatoes!) and I had two capaccino's.. we just got a capaccino machine over fall break and everyone found out about it yesterday, during breakfast, lol. Afterwards I was bouncing down the hallway once I was back here in my dorm and frollicing, lol... something that is funny to see. Now I'm just laying in bed with my fan blowing on me and blogging on here. Nothing else to do currently. Unless I wanted to go back to sleep. But I don't feel like it right now. Maybe after dinner, which is at 4:30 today. Like every Friday. Or I might take a nap before and then sleep after, lol... such big decisions, j/k :D

*sigh* I guess I'm done for right now. I'm gonna head off and check facebook and myspace for a bit.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

*huge sigh* nearish the end of the day

I'm back here at my desk, typing, as you can see. I just got back from karate like almost an hour ago, I just finally got on though. Karate was good tonight, we had two new students. One girl and one guy. I got the guy as my partner tonight... he kicks pretty hard.. and his punches! wwooo, about dislocated my shoulder from it's socket, lol. My wrist was gonna pop off, no joke. But it was fun. We did kicks, punches, uppercuts, and hooks, along with poc-style and another one that I don't remember the name of. I got to practice with our sensei for poc-style and it was fun, we kept up a nice pace and made sort of a rhythm to it. Then we did like 50 or 60 push-ups, and like 80 crunches, wwooo, talk about a work out, lol.

I had three classes today, I had a test in Foundations of Christianity, I hope I passed. I've got an upcoming speech for Oral Comm. that is due like the next class period or something, I think I am going to use a poem for it. It's suppose to be an introduction to a speech speech, so it should turn out interesting... maybe... I enjoyed sleeping in as well, and lunch was good. Cheeseburgers and fries, with a choc. chip cookie, and a glass of water and a glass of tea. I didn't eat dinner at the school tonight either, instead me and my friend called in a pizza (Canadian bacon, pineapple, and black olive!!!!!!) and a large order of cheesy bread... I got sick afterward cause it was soo greasy. I can't digest a lot of grease so if I happen to eat too much I eventually get sick... depends, lol. I also had a can of 7-up and a bottle of Sierra Mist: Cranberry Splash along side my 2 pound bag of gummy bears!! :D I love being able to rip their heads off and chew it, lol.. mean I know, but soo fun *giggles* Ya, I know it, I'm weird... but God made me the way I am and I'm happy being me, lol..... Ok, but before I had the pizza, me and my friend went to Wal-Mart and got ourselves more time for our phones. We decided that with her next pay-check, we'll get a family plan deal and get phones that you only have to pay monthly instead of like every two weeks, lol... or something like that. But it would be better that way.

Oh, and on the way to Wal-Mart I started to get really motion sick, it's why I hate vehicles, lol. But dinner afterward helped my stomach settle down.

Nothing much happened with the rest of my day, just being bored right now. Blogging on here, playing around on facebook and myspace and messaging on instant messenger. I also am listening to music. You probably can guess what playlist it is, lol. I only have one class tomorrow and then chapel so I don't have any homework due for a bit. *sigh* That's week-nite college life for you. Either sitting at my desk online, doing homework, talking to friends, sleeping, blogging, listening to music, sewing and creating things... or reading a lot. I like to read.

Ok, I'm done for right now, my brain is shutting down and I can't think. My fingers are just like jello (I hate jello by the way, it's gross and alive *gags*) So I will blog again eventually. Maybe tomorrow. Since I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo tired, lol.


Peace out

~ Ashley ~

I'm tired *yawns*

So, I'm back at my computer after pouncing on my friends when they got back earlier :D and scaring them a bit, lol. Then I washed some dishes and hung out with both Jess' and Victoria and looked at their new pictures... lets just say they FLIPPIN' ROCK!! I love all of them.. hot too, lol :D I've also been listening to Coldrain's music since after I got done with Linkin Park. I love Coldrain. Jess has such a wonderful voice. I gotta lover her, lol. So ya, her and her sister Victoria are so rockin' cool! I usually hang out with them after classes and have fun times. And the laughing we do! Oh My Gosh! wow, we lose so much weight just laughing, lol j/k :)

I've decided to post the lyrics of one of my fav. songs from Coldrain! I hope you like them, they are wonderful!

****************************************************
~ A Most High God ~

I trust in you
With all of my heart.

There you go! I love that song, it's been one of my favourites since I first heard it sung :D Rock On, Coldrain! I can't wait until the concert Oct. 31. It's going to be the best ever, lol!


Ok, I think I am done blogging for right now, never know when I'll post again, lol.. :D

Peace out

Munchin' on doritos :D mmmm

So, here I am sitting at my desk again and the day has gone by sorta fast. In my earlier blog I said I was going to sleep at 8 or something? I can't remember, well I wasn't able to sleep until 10 a.m *sighs* Then I woke up at 2 something in the evening... ya, not much sleep... well for me anyways, lol. Currently I am flopped out on my chair munching on some nacho cheese doritos (they rock just so you know) and listening to Linkin Park. What?! A major music change? Ya, I've been listening to Hello Kelly all day and I decided to change it up a bit.

Nothing much happened today, I just basically was online all day, when I wasn't asleep and I watched a movie earlier.. Invincible I think, it was a really awesome movie and it made me think back on my days on a football team *sighs* ya, it was a men's team too. So I got to sack some guys pretty hard. I was in Powder Puff football, but they switched me cause I accidentally broke a girls rib :( lol... men can take more than some women can, which makes it soooo much fun! Half way through the movie, I went down to my friends room and made a Liverwurst sandwich *drools* mmmm, I soooo LOVE Liverwurst.. well liver in general, lol :D Then after the movie I ate my second half of dinner ( bag of doritos, two oranges, a granola bar, some hot cocoa, and a couple pop tarts) tomorrow we go back to regular school hours, meaning we get breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Makes me happy, lol.

Other than that, I've done nothing else. I'm just waiting for some of my friends to return back here from break. Cause we got regular curfew tonight - 12:00 - which I don't mind. On Fridays and the rest of the weekend it's 1 a.m, so peoples can't complain too much.

Hrmmmmm........ I guess I don't have anything more to write right now. I'll probably post another blog tonight, unless I go to bed early, though I don't have to cause I can sleep in... my classes don't start until 12:25 in the afternoon tomorrow. First class is Oral Communication, my second is Life of Christ 1, and my third is Foundations of Christianity. I have nothing due in those classes tomorrow, so I am happy. Cause I didn't do any homework this weekend. Was busy relaxing and having fun... *cough* or crying.. oh and hey! That guy I mentioned? He's not with the girl anymore. I'm happy, lol, cause if he would have stayed with her, he would have stopped talking to me and that would have hurt a lot. But, ya, I'm still gonna be weary though. Again.... I'm gonna go for now, but not forever, lol. I'll be back later.

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

In the wee early hours of the morning, this college girl is still awake, lol

So, here I am at 8:14 in the morning and I am just heading off to bed, lol... wow... amazazing :D That's how I roll sometimes though, weird I know, but hey, I like sleeping (ZzzzZzzzZzzz) So I'm just blogging to say I'm going to dream world and I will blog later on today. About what, I have no clue until that time comes.

Goodnight and sleep tight, my blog followers. I plan on sleeping like the dead :)

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

the other poem i said i would post

Ok, so my fingers hurt the other night so I didn't add this poem alongside the other one... it's sadish, but uplifting too... it's what I wrote after the horrible weekend I had. I decided to post it on here, cause it's part on my life as a college student and that's what this blog is following. And I didn't write it just for me. As I wrote it, I was thinking about the other peoples (not just women) who've gone through something like this.. but ya, I hope you all like it... dunno, lol....

~Mending a Broken Heart~

I'm sitting here in front of my computer.
Your words fill my heart with grief.
Why does this happen?
I'm falling now,
hurting deep inside.

You once said you loved me,
You once said you were only mine.
Now? Now you hold another in your arms.

I can't bear it.
My heart is breaking again.
Over and over,
Lost in this bitter-sweet sorrow.

Everyday I watch as couples bloom,
As the seasons turn.
Yet I grow older with no one as my own.
I can't bear the pain again.
You've broken off another piece of my heart.

I can't bear it.
My heart is breaking again.
Over and over,
Lost in this bitter-sweet sorrow.

As my tears fall,
Your laughter echos.
As I curl into a ball,
You hug her close.

You once said you loved me,
You once said you were only mine.
Now? Now you hold another in your arms.

The night grows darker
And I give myself up to God,
Asking for the pain to leave.

Settling in the darkness,
This ripped heart cries for love,
for joy, for anything.

God leans in,
Whispers sweet melodies.
Section by section
He sews my broken heart
back together.

As my tears fall,
Your laughter echos.
As I curl into a ball,
You hug her close.

But... Guess what?
God is my life. My love. My future.
He carries me on His back,
Into this bright melodious fall day.

Leaves are now changing,
Wind now sweeps in.
Snow will be beckoned
And so will my soul. So will my heart.

You once said you loved me,
You once said you were only mine.
Now? Now, while you hold another in your arms,
God takes my hand and leads me
To His glorious paradise.

He's my love, my life, my heart.
Beating and stitched,
Molded by my creator's hands,
My heart beats for Him.

And maybe one day...
The man he's made for me.

Leaves are now turning,
Wind now sweeps in.
Snow will be beckoned
And so will my soul. So will my heart.

So there you have it, my newest poem... I will probably have more, eventually... but until then, just more ME, lol.

Rested and HAPPY!!! Wahoooosers!

Ok, ya... so I literally had no day. Like it started at 7:22 pm this evening. I didn't get up out of bed till then. I slept all day and dreamed :) It was fun. Then when I got up I showered and got dressed for karate, then I headed over there and waited for class to start at 8. Grant it, I was feeling horrible, still got that dern cold, lol. But, I like going to karate and working out so I sucked it up and took it like a man, lol :D j/k.. Class started with 50 jumping jacks (I hate them cause I got anatomy that guys don't and it's embarrassing, grrr.. sometimes I don't even do the jumping jacks and just stand there turning red) then we went into fighting stance and worked on some of our defenses and kicks, then we stretched... I couldn't do the splits today cause my hips like to pop out of joint sometimes (it sucks to be double jointed sometimes) and tonight they were saying to me "mwahaha, just do em and let us pop out!" so I did them just slightly and didn't go all the way down. Bleh. Then we moved onto more defenses before we sat down in front of our sensei. He asked us if we had ever gone back on a promise with God.... yes, we have a bible study every class, our sensei created this style of mixed martial arts to suite us being Christians (Sheng Dao - Sacred Way).... and then he went into the story about how this one group of guys in the bible.. I can't remember them right now... that had been told by God to let their slaves go every so many years and they hadn't been following his covenant, God then sent another guy to tell the leader of these people that God was sending some men to wipe them out... they leader was like "ok, we gotta let our slaves go cause we don't want to die." They let the slaves go and the people who had come to kill them turned around and started heading back home.... but guess what? When they saw that they weren't going to die, they took back their slaves, breaking the rules of the covenant they had with God. God got mad and sent the messenger again and told the leader that because he wanted to be in God's covenant but didn't want to follow his rules, they would become slaves..... So ya, I can look back on that and see that if I claim to be a part of God's life but don't want to follow the rules He's set down, then I won't be under His protection...... then after this message we broke up into groups and worked on a bunch of things like our blocks and our basic defenses and then learned how to fall, for when we get to sparring, lol.. I can't wait.

So think on that when you make a bargain with God and then when you break it, and things don't turn out the way you want, and you look up to heaven and ask "WHY did you let this happen, I thought we had a deal." Your broke the promise you made to him, and maybe you should also think about what you're asking God to do for you. You shouldn't ask for material or worldly things, but things that you need help with in your life, like your sinful struggles or your battle with depression. Things like that. Things that I know God wants to help you with.

Anywhos - I got done with karate and the walked back over here. When I got in my room I turned my computer on and ate some dinner (a bottle of pepsi, bag of fritos, a bag of cheetos, two granola bars, and two oranges - we didn't get any food served today, nor tomorrow.. so I stocked up on some food.. cause I have no money to get anything to eat... but I'm use to that, I use to be homeless on and off for two years... you learn not to complain with the little food you have) Then after my computer was done loading and doing it's updating, I got on facebook and was surprised that I had 14 notifications. They were about comments on my new photos, lol... One of em that got the most was one were I took a flying leap up onto a stump (the final product of that leap is down below in the pictures) and my friend took a backside picture *falls over with laughter* I had my hand holding my shirt down cause I didn't want my bum to show.... after I got done responding to the comments I checked my friend request and found one from my sister. I was happy, lol. I love here a lot. She is at Quincy, Illinois University studying Pre-Law. She just graduated high school this year and it makes me proud to see her following in my footsteps. I didn't think that she would go to college. But she did. I was the first one in my family to go to college on my dad's side. Kitty is the second. My mom went to college for a bit before she worked as a nurse with my grandma. My grandparents when to college and my uncles went too. On my mom's side of the family. Family on my dad's side didn't go to college........ speaking of my dad, I haven't seen him for a couple of years cause he's been in and out of prison. I do miss him. The first time I saw him after 13 years was my freshman year in high school. He just got out of prison and moved in with us. He actually started going to church with me for awhile, which made me happy. But then he reverted back to drugs and alcohol, breaking his parole. Sad. But all I can do is pray for him right now......... back to my day - after I posted a comment on my sisters profile, I smacked some of my friends with the pillow fight application and turned on my music... what? you know what play list it is? Hello Kelly? YA, that's right, lol.... *rolls eyes at myself* but ya, that's what I've been listening to for the past 2 hours and some odd minutes, lol.

Just an hour ago, I went on my student portal and checked my midterm grades and I was soooo happy! I got 6 A's and only one C, I was so excited. And then when I checked my GPA, it showed that it went from a 1.54 and jumped to a 3.37!!!!!! That is soooo flipping sweet! So now I just have to keep getting A's on the rest of my assignments and pass my classes for this semester. God has helped my so much! I came back this semester after summer and I felt a big difference in my mind-set. I had prayed all summer for God to help me pass this semester... I was on academic warning, meaning I had to pass all my classes this semester, or not be able to come back for a semester.... and God's been showing me how to understand what I'm learning. I've even been able to use what I've learned this semester and my past two ones, and share God's word with a bunch of my Christian and non-Christian friends... wow.. talk about God working in mysterious ways, lol.

Anyways, that's all I got for now. I've talked about all that was in my mind... so, bon voyage until the next post... which might come soon or maybe later. I wont know until then..

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

Ahh, the wee early morning hours, lol

Ya, so I am still awake. Just got done with three hours of Guitar Hero. *cracks knuckles* My fingers hurt now, but I am satisfied with my progress. Some one removed the memory card the other day, so we lost a lot of progress and I had to make my band file again, which sucked. But I got really far this morning. I've almost got all the songs. And I'm getting flippin awesome, lol... maybe.

So, I said I would post some poems earlier... I guess I shall proceed.. la de da :D

************************************************************************************
I got these words placed in my head and I just had to write them down. It's like God gave me the words to write.. I've been listening to some of my friends, and they've been going through a lot, and they are hurting... without telling anyone, or sometimes telling someone... but this is for my friends who are going through something right now, or in the future, or just for everyone... i dunno. I'm thinking of trying to write some music for it.. but time will only tell.. cause i suck at it, lol... but here it goes.

As you lay broken
Bleeding and hurting,
Thoughts of you being lost
Drag you down...
Further and further.

You scream out into the dark
But you only hear an echo.
The light is failing.
No one's going to be there
When you finally pass on.

Wait!
Gentle hands reach down,
Pulling and moving you.
Inch by inch you feel the warmth.
The light blinds you.

Looking up,
The light fades
And what you see can't ever be removed.

Person upon person,
Crowded together as one;
Pulling you,
Holding you..
You're broken no more.

As you had lain there
Broken and bleeding,
Silence and pain hide that wondrous truth.

Hope lies there, waiting for you.
You're faith now grows and blossoms,
Building stronger and stronger.

Person upon person,
Crowded together as one;
Pulling you,
Holding you...
You're broken no more.

Standing up, you look down.
White engulfs you forever now.
The sin and hurt washed away,
By the blood of the very man standing beside you.

Taking your hand and pulling you along
God, holy and majestic,
Smiles upon that awestruck face.

As you had lain there
Broken and bleeding,
Silence and pain hide that wondrous truth.

Hope lies there waiting for you.
You're faith grows and blossoms,
Building stronger and stronger.

Standing up, you look down.
White engulfs you forever now.
The sin and hurt washed away,
By the blood of the very man standing beside you.

Taking your hand and pulling you along.
God, holy and majestic,
Smiles upon that awestruck face.

You're broken no more.
You're broken....
NO MORE!

I decided to only put one poem, cause my fingers are sorta like bloody stumps.. not really.. but close, lol

Peace out

~ Ashley ~

The first blog

Ok, so here I am sitting at my computer in my dorm. The school is currently on Fall Break so the place is basically like a ghost college, lol.

I've been sick all day, with a cold or something. Which really sucks cause my head hurts and I can't sleep. Bleh. This past week has basically been crap. Really. It's been good, as in I don't have classes until this upcoming Thursday, but bad as in 1) my cat died Saturday and I loved him so much and 2) ummm... the guy that liked me and I was beginning to like is now going out with one of my friends... and I'm happy for them, but it still hurt. So ya, that was a bloody mess. My heart is shreds, lol.. not a laughing matter but hey, it's either laugh or start to cry my eyes out again.

Ok, onto the good part of the weekend, lol... Saterday, we got a bunch of kids on campus for In Focus. High school students come to visit the college and learn about God and have a good time with worship, messages, and hanging with the college students. I got to host three wonderful girls in my dorm room.. my roommate went home for Fall Break... and the two younger ones stayed up until like 1:40 a.m or 2 something, smacking each other with their stuffed animal, lol. I coundn't stop laughing, even though I was crying. Then Sunday, the college students had a miracle happen, lol.... *drum roll* we got served both breakfast and lunch on a Sunday... that never ever happens, lol... So I was happy, the others were too. After the kids left later at noon, we had some extra matresses sitting in the hall (from the kids sleeping on them if they were on the floor in the rooms) and so me and two of my friends decided to have fun *giggles* While one of em filmed us, we stacked the three matresses at one end of the hall and ran down to the other end (our RA was gone for Fall Break *cheers* and so she will never know, lol) Once we were ready we each took a turn running down the hall so we could jump and fly onto the matresses and go "boing" off of it!!! It was sooo fun... Yes.. thats our enteretainment for breaks sometimes, lol... Next we slid down the stairs on the matresses and I got so scared, lol.. but it was fun, there are no complaints on my side. After we were done sliding we decided to run at each other from opposite ends of the hall and slam into each other, it was fun and I won... mostly cause I've played on a mens football team before and I'm use to getting hit hard, lol.... then I went to sleep until like 10 that evening and the got online for a bit before I started finishing the two purses that I had started to make Saturday of this weekend. I finished them earlier this evening.. well now as I look at the clock, it's already the 14th. Sad, lol... not really. So I finished them "yesterday." LOL.... They are beautiful!
So now, it comes to Monday. I slept until brunch which was at 10:30 a.m and ate some corn dogs, which I absolutely LOVE!! lol... we get served them every two weeks on Mondays. Yup, I got the timing down, lol... anywhos - after brunch I headed back here, to my room, and got online. I listened to some Hello Kelly (I listen to them everyday... No, I'm serious, I do. I have a playlist from myspace that I made. They're my fav band, next to my ex-roomies band, Coldrain.... you should check em out on myspace (www.myspace.com/hellokelly and www.myspace.com/coldrain4) they both are wonderful, God blessed bands with some totally rocking band members.) I got bored after an hour online and decided to go to the library across campus and try to scan some of my family pictures online... ya, didn't work.. stupid scanner *smacks it*.... so I headed back here and just as I stepped down onto my floor my friend Lisa spied me and said she had just been knocking on my door. She then dragged me (willingly) outside and we took some rad pictures, lol. My blog pic is one of the products of this expedition, lol... after we were done, I went back to my room and was online again for about an an hour and a half before I headed over to dinner (4:30 p.m) and had a scrumptious meal... cajun turkey sub, cheetos, fritos, green bell peppers and veggie dip, kool-aid, milk and a chocolate chip cookie... then after I was done eating I switched tables to sit by one of my other friends and one of my other friends who just got his dinner came and sit infront of me... ya, lets just say I about choked on my fritos from either a) being tickled or b) laughing so hard, lol... I love my friends... some of the things we talk about are so random or just totally wierd, lol... Then I came back here and passed out after tagging a few of my earlier taken pictures on facebook.
I was asleep until 10:24 p.m... then I got up, my head still hurting from the cold and my pillow soaked with my drool *sighs* yes I drool, lol... and I got back online after taking a bathroom break and reading the "jon" journal, lol... I've been online since and I finally decided to make this blog.. well finally figured out how too, lol *smacks self* it wasn't tthhhaaatt hard... sorta... maybe, lol... anywhos - that was my weekend so far. Both the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Fun times, fun times.... *sighs* I guess I'll post this blog and wait to write another one... though the next ones might be posted today, probably a couple of my poems from this weekend. Don't know yet, just depends on if I get bored or not.. but I will write another blog post later in the day, after I sleep and get up and go through it, lol... since it's only 12 something in the morning right now..

Peace out and God bless
