Hey hey!

Ok, so it has been quite a while since I last posted. I probably should have looked to see what was going on at the time. Oh well, I will recount what has been going on to the best of my ability. So, I went through my first term at COCC in the massage program. It was fun, but the massage that we were learning was somewhat dull. I got to meet a lot of people and will be continuing the program with whoever does not drop out (there has been a few so far). The classes are great this term and I get a massage every other day because we have to practice on eachother. Though it was somewhat interesting in the beginning when half the class had to be nude on the tables (course we have sheets, but still). Some people have already been exposed in class--thankfully that has not happened to me. This next week we are doing blind folded massages, lol that in and of itself brings embarassing images of the poor people on the table being groped or exposed as the practicing therapist tries to find their way around. I am excited that this term is almost over! I can't wait for summer to come around, so many things to look forward to! I do need another job though because at the rate I'm going once I buy a car I will be broke. I'm still working at the college library and that is fairly slow. Ummm...I'm all healed up from surgery with no issues except my lovely scars. Leah may be moving to Kansas--I say MAY because I don't know if she will stay there. I've met a lot of great/interesting/weird people in the months from the last time I wrote. Dang, I had more to say but nothing is coming to mind. Oh well, long enough for now, catch ya'll later!
~Sunshine on the window makes me happy like I should be...." retarded song, but that is what came to mind

Sunday.....

I'm going to update! Not that anyone cares, just keeping up with things. So, I started school in September--massage therapy which takes two years. The work load is keeping me busy, but I'm getting more comfortable with the schedule as I continue. Other then that, there really is nothing new. If I wrote for every day on every detail then this thing would be a whole lot longer, but seeing as there really is no point in this thing anymore--I keep it short. The one thing I dislike about this month is the cold weather is setting in and it's just going to get worse :-(. Oh well, gives me an excuse to buy more coats :-P. Well, we have company over, so I should get going.......
~What must I do?"

Ah man!.......

Well, for the sake of nothing else to do and trying to avoid people at the moment I am in my room doing this. I picked Leah up yesterday from the airport, went on a bike ride, had friends come over, and watched the rest of a movie. Not in that order. It's nice to have Leah back home--though her time so far is spent sleeping and talking to a guy from the south. Ha, and just to think, she used to get on my case all the time for talking to a guy and not her. I leave well enough alone--as long as she doesn't take up space in my room. Dad is once again gone for the week, but this time in Klamath Falls. Mom had a brilliant idea and decided to invite the Tocis' and Rich over to make salsa. I think I'll go ride my bike again and find a good book. Need I say, not to social today? I guess the big thing that has been on my mind is be careful what you say--never know when it might have a negative effect on someone else. Or how you act. Yes, I've had both happen recently and I was the recipient. I hate that when all is said and done-the other person who has done whatever or said, has completely forgotten about it and I'm still sitting here with a bad taste in my mouth (so to speak). Yeah I know, move on and forget about it, but some things run deeper then the often petty insults. Ah, oh well--guess I should just talk to the person. So, anyway, I should probably read or something--clear my head. I'll get back to ya'll later....
~You tred on dangerous ground...."

Oh right.......

OKAY, for all of you who don't read this, great! Lol, so we went to convention and man did it go fast! Kind of starting to like Saginaw actually. Can't believe it's over though and we have another year to wait for it to come around again. I'll be 20 years old by then, yikes! Well let's see, I'm looking forward to school and work (if I don't get into one class though I have to wait till winter term, hopefully not the case), get togethers that are coming up, and Hawaii (hopefully) in January for 2 weeks!!!!! Can you say "to much time"? Ha, way to pass the days. So, Leah is in Alaska till next Monday and dad is going to be in Lakeview till Friday, so it's just me and mom holding down the fort. Oh joy, heh. Other then all that....I did have a lot to say earlier this morning, but now I got nothin. Reading another good book, not inspiring, but a good read and another fairytale love. Haha, don't you just hate those? Mom was trying to set me up at convention, lol way to be. Staying in the tent with Heidi, Jerry, and Tom was fun though. Late night chats, group dates to the bathroom--all part of the convention experience. Ummmm...........right. So, I have nothing else that is coming to mind at the moment so I shall catch ya'll later.
~When you find you, come back to me..."

Yup...

I don't see the point in actually writing on this thing anymore, but for those of you that keep up with it, I shall try to make it :-P. Anyway, things haven't really changed all that much. I'm all healed up on the outside, now the inside has to catch up, but I am doing good. Only got to work four days and then it's the end of the summer term, so I wont have work till the fall term :-(. I'm looking forward to school and being somewhat busy. Conventions are coming up fast and I am super excited about that! This next weekend we (me, mom, and Leah) are going to Portland for my grandpa's birthday, so we'll get to see a lot of family!! Leah is going to Alaska to visit our grandparents from the 4th of September to the 14th (lucky!) and yeah. Other then that, I can't think of much at the moment. Had a lot of fun last night going to the volleyball gtg. Didn't play of course, but I got to talk to friends. Out of all the sports known to man, I hate volleyball the most, though I suppose that since that is the only game that the friends like to get together and play--I maybe should suck it up and really learn how to play and be somewhat decent at it. Reading a good book which is somewhat inspiring in its own way, but I guess it would depend on who you are. It's kind of nice to be getting some enthusiasm back for life and the things in it. Anyway, I've run out of things to say, so be seeing you :D

Another day in paradise

Ok, soooo......today I started working again in the library. Thankgoodness I can sit for some of the time. Couldn't find anything good to eat at home so by the time I'm done here my stomach will be a shriveled grape, wonderful. Well, let's see--the Kings came to visit and I exhausted myself trying to keep up, but it was nice to see them again. The weather is seriously hot! Though for the last two nights there have been thunder and lightning storms, which are great! We went to the fair this last weekend and got there when it started pouring down rain. So we met up with the Maricles and hung out in the sheep barn after making a mad dash to get there. Lights went out and we were watching the rain. "This must be what it felt like to be on the ark." I was looking around at the stalls and such with the animals, but Frank took it another way, lol--"Yeah, it sucks!" haha, guess it would....But anyway, the rain finally stopped and we walked around and sat down to talk and scope out potential, lol, joking. The rodeo was canceled, but we went the next day when it was seriously to hot to really sit outside and socialize. I don't know how people in places with 120 degree weather can stand it! Then the other night we had another thunder and lightning storm. So I sat in my room on my bed with the laptop to keep me occupied, while mom, dad, and Rich stood/sat on the porch watching it all. At one point all three of them were standing outside my window looking in. I was eating at the time--"Ooo, she's hungry." "Ain't she perdy?" "Wow, look at the storm". Lol, weird to be the object of interest. But anyway, just been keeping busy with cleaning the house, reading, writing, trying to hang out with friends, and talking on the phone. Now it's back to work and bringing in a little money. Much needed! Conventions are in about 3 weeks I think, so I am looking forward to that. And then going to Portland to see relatives--not sure when exactly in the next couple weeks...THEN back to school and a crazy work load. Oh boy, other then that--yeah.
~I don't know if we all have a destiny....or we're just floating along accidental like on a breeze..."

Another day

Alright well, I should be doing something other then this, but that is the way it goes. I don't feel like getting up right now. Apparently everyone has umm....disappeared on this thing. Ah well, my phone is dying. SO--dang, I should have checked to see what was going on in the last post I wrote, but I guess things are basically the same. I've been getting better and walking around more. Mom is thrilled to have more help--when I do help that is. Feeling more like myself which is a good thing, have my ups and downs, but nothing to big. Lets see, this weekend our friends from Alaska are coming down to visit, like they do most every summer (we'll see what the heck we're doing this time around). Larea moved in for about a week and a half before she decided that she was going to spend another year in Bend and got an appartment. Lol, probably couldn't stand us is all :-P. Hmm.....what else is there? Oh, some of our cousins from Texas--that we have never met--are wanting to get together. We haven't seen my dad's brother and his wife and kids for about 11 or so years, maybe more. We never did see the kids, so that will be something. Let's see--mentally, doing good, physically getting better, spiritually--standing still. It's amazing how things and perspectives can change after you go through tough experiences. After having everything from last month happen, it's taken a bit to actually start caring about certain things again. But anyway, better do something productive
