Bless Your Beautiful Hyde

Skin:
The outermost layer of a pearl
The outermost layer of a diamond
The outermost layer of our bodies


It stretches when it needs to
And relaxes when it is allowed
It covers from head to toe and only asks for water
It becomes stronger in the places we use the most
And can stay soft everywhere we desire

It looks beautiful in moonlight
And is protection in the sunshine
Water can only penetrate it so deep
Otherwise it dances with the extra beads

It shields us from wounds
And allows imperfections to be found
It curves with our curves
And shows off our strength
It cushions our bodies
And moves with our motions

Skin exists to leave us complete
It lets us be beautiful, it lets us live
Thank God for our hides
Thank your skin for its care
Take notice and cherish it
We are blessed it is there

Pizza Crusts and Old Smoke

I am getting sick again. This will be the third cold I've had in the past two months...I blame it on the snow, the smoke that I put up with, the easily inflamed tonsils, and stress.

Earlier this week I wounded my foot massively...today it's all better. Thank God for speedy recoveries. Country swing here I come!

Samuel has been in town all week so getting to see him nearly every day has brought joy to my heart. I forget about how much that guy inspires me in his moments when he's not trying to show how well he can quote stuff. When he's giving advice or talking to someone older than himself he is truly the ultimate man and I love him for it. Late night conversations with him and the other guys of my life have nearly lulled me to sleep numerous times this week, and these are the things I miss the most when he is gone.

We got a grand total of 8 FREAKIN' INCHES of snow last night...It's March 27th! What the heck!? Stupid El Nino.


Have I told you that my church finally has a home? We aren't gypsies anymore, we now have a beautiful, white church to call our own...it's perfect for us and it is now officially ours. I was just thinking of how awesome it is that we don't have to move around from place to place anymore.. Praise God, right? Right.


Appreciate those that chose to have you around. Love those that make an effort to let you know that they care. Do something for someone else today, live your life the way that would make your parents proud.


Aloha.

An un-tarnished, but kinda cheesy memory

I was walkin' on the side walk of Waikiki beach one night and decided to go down by the ocean on a whim. My mom was sitting on the breaker and I was walking west. The wind was easy yet obvious and the ocean was tepid. The sand gave way under my feet and the bigger waves pulled me into the ocean just barely. It wasn't scary for me, but I could feel the pull of the waves and thinking of it makes me smile still. My hair was being tossed everywhere as I looked up to see the coast line and all the lights that decorated it...Though the lights were man made, it was absolutely perfect. Looking up I saw the tropical stars, looking down I saw the sand and the foam...It was beauty unspoiled in every way imaginable and I remember thinking to myself, "now THIS is a vacation.".


THE END.

This is my exact memory. :)

Ooooh don't you wish you were as Irish as Me?

some clips from the best movie I've seen in a while...P.S. I love you. Since it's has Irish ties to it I had to post it today... here are the lyrics to the song, it's an awesome tune.:

Fairytale Of New York - The Pogues

It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, wont see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
Ive got a feeling
This years for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

Theyve got cars big as bars
Theyve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
Its no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold christmas eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of new york city
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the nypd choir
Were singing galway bay
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day

Youre a bum
Youre a punk
Youre an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy ******
Happy christmas your ****
I pray God its our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Cant make it all alone
Ive built my dreams around you

WOO Anna's Back!

Little boys with british accents

aack! OK, SO, I was on youtube stalking Matt, and I found this on his youtube as one of his favorite videos and it is SO FREAKIN CUUUUUUUTE! augh! I love it, watch it.

Day after night after day this feeling

Anna- going on her first plane ride ever tomorrow
Danny- visiting Sam this entire break...wish I had gone
Katie- working all week
Paul- Who the heck knows, that man has the most random days ever
Meg- Working I bet, too
Britney Spears-hopefully doing something useful with her life.

And then there's me. My resolution for this break is to run each day...I donno how much I'll run or even if I will seeing as how I'm getting sick...But maybe, maybe this break I'll get to improve myself. Maybe this week will be just as awesome as last year...granted in totally different ways, but ya know, happiness is as happiness does.

My major plans include-seeing the sunset every night, running, maybe a day trip somewhere, cleaning my room and getting rid of stuff so that me moving out doesn't take forever, searching vacation packages for Hawaii, and hopefully just learning to finally smile, sigh, and turn away from everything that once meant so much. It's obvious now's not the time to remember so this week I'm training myself to suppress my favorite memories.

Picking at a scab will only leave a thick scar, but if you let a wound heal it goes a lot smoother. Yes, it will itch and if you accidentally bang it against something it hurts, but two weeks later all that will remain is a brand new patch of protection for the next time life pulls you down.

Hmmmm..

This is called "the utter demise of sanity as we know it." because we took it during a dinner before I had to go back to work. Anyways, I'm hopeful tonight.

I'm hopeful to find someone new and amazing this summer. I don't know how this is going to happen seeing as how I'll probably either be in Tri State or being a receptionist every weekday, but maybe...I miss the butterflies and the permanent smile on my face that everyone noticed. One person even said I had a glow. Well, it's March 6th, I'm pasty and without a love...let's get this party started!...The only thing is love only sneaks up on you when you least expect it...AHEM. ugh. NOW, time to go eat junk food with my daddy, peace out chilrens.

And I say aw yeah, alright, every sunset, every sunrise

Hello, my cute hearted loving friendly units.

SO, Today in the paper, and throughout the internet there was a guy that asked a friend to shoot him in the shoulder so that he wouldn't have to go to work...he told the cops it was a drive by shooting and sure enough, he got out of going to work...I'm glad I'm not THAT bad yet...YET.

Is it possible for watching a star to set to be therapeutic? It's definitely hypnotic, but I was just curious cuz right now I feel calm and content and dreamy.

When you dream dream big, as big as the ocean blue. Cuz when you dream it might come true, so when you dream, dream big.

What A Weird...Just...WTF

OK SO: I'm at work and there's this guy and his woman friend buying two reaaaaaally small pieces of merchandise from me and I say, "Ha, you're livin' large today, my friend." and he laughs and says yeaaaah...Then there's a pause. He then says as he points to my shirt, "you gotta little attitude there, huh?" me:"oh ahaha, it's a chili stain, I'm tryin' to cover it up with my nametag." cute" he said, so I was thinkin' huh, k...Then he says, "actually, I really disslike your tone, you're sarcastic and bratty and are coming off as kind of synical and I don't appreciate it." This through me TOTALLY off and I just stood there listening to him tell me how rude I was being then he left... I can't win at this place, I try to be nice and joke with people and THIS is what I get...granted yes, not everyone can take a joke, but he looked like the kinda guy that could handle some friendly banter...guess not, good grief! Anyways, It's windy and rainy outside, I'm tired, I have some massive split ends going on and I think I need to go trim my hair SO, I'll talk to you later.
