three part post

Part 1: Tell the people around u that u love them. Randomly.

I would just like to say how much joy it brings me to call you my friends, and that I could ask for no one better. I am blessed by all the love I receive and I only hope you know I love you too. Life is unexpected, and I beleive it is the most important thing is to know you are loved and cared for. Because tomorrow is not a promise and everyone should live and love everyday they are given.
I love you, KenzieJo.

I sent that text out last night, after receiving some good advice, I just wanted everyone to know that I care for them, because its one of the most important things in life, and can change everyones life for the better.

part 2: school schedule

1.English, Krieger
2.Social Studies, Kooser
3.Sci by design, Lemieux
4. Science, Davidson
5. Drama, Tavern
6. Math, Wolff

I think this has been my best schedule yet, It'll make out for a great semester for sure.

part 3: End of summer

I"m sad that its ending, but its ended in the best way possible, I've gone to my grandmothers and saw my cousins. It's been a great summer all around though. I've hung out with somebody at least once a week. Gone to the farmers market almost every week, and have spent lots of time with my family. and even though school starts next week I'm ok with it, because I've used my summer time to its full extent.

Ps: Our blackberries have come in very well this year, Not even half are fully grown and its still too many for just our family. If you'd like some let me know, they are quiet delicious.

part 1: Departure

She stares into the blue oblivion above her, without the blemish of clouds its pale silk, pulled taunt over the horizon. The sun hung behind her, stretching her shadow until it broke on the white waves. Salt floats on the ocean breeze, overwhelming her senses and blurring her mind; but still all she can think about is him, still under the covers, not knowing shes left.

Her dress whips at her ankles, her curls hurricane off her shoulders. The winds pulling her to the sea, wanting to whisk her away from her life, she can't help but hope it does. But she plants herself, her head pillowed on the white sand, her eyes lulled closed by the rhythmic waves.

Dreams turned to nightmares, his infidelity shaking her awake to see shes still alone on the beach. Her legs pulse forward, to the dock where her boat bobs. The sail finally catches, the bow splitting the water clean. times no issue for her, the note's on her pillow, the boats stocked for months. It was time for her to leave and find something better.

no longer a dream

I got it! I got it!
Its so pretty, and shiny, and fun to take apart! I have no film though it uses 120 film and i don't know where to get it. I love it love it love it, I'm stoked!

Camera dreams

My camera will be ordered, Friday. I'm more excited than I imagined, like there is this growing twinge of it under my skin. I'm itching to get my hands on it, to see the world through it's plastic lens. I've seen the pictures on the site, and I want to make ones that can be presented on the site beside the ones already there.

I have so many ideas already, I look everywhere for them now, I'm very excited for the fair, and the parks, and taking many picture of my friends, both expected and blinding. So when I do receive my precious piece of plastic, and hopefully film, humor me please.

summer vacation, week one

This week has been fantastic. A hopeful omen that the rest of the summer will be just as nice. I learned to ride a bike(yes yes its sad, sue me, I never had anywhere to learn) and since that my father has gotten me a bike from a friend of his. Thank Krista for being my teacher.
I went to Kelsey'es party, a scavenger hunt leading us all around town. I'm happy to say we won, candy for everyone along with a yummy cupcake. Totally worth singing to the cupcake girls. She liked my present, an old queen record, and I'm glad it took forever for me and Krista to find it in the disorganized store.(thanks for that too Krista)
I may also have gotten a job for the summer. Baby sitting a young eighteen month old three days a week. This will be enough for my camera and new clothes for school.
Excited!

no neighbors... no fun?

So when we moved into this house I was a baby, and our surroundings were very different. Across the busy road, a small forest was there to explore. A field next to us held blackberries and animals, both of which invaded our yard on a daily basis. We has a few neighbors, the old man above us, who I only ever saw talking to my dad. There was Jade with her mini reserve, with plants and animals galore. I only had one true neighbor, the house sitting right next to us with a large yard we would often play baseball in. The family with a son, my brother's age, moved away long ago.
After they moved things changed, houses replaced the forest and field, cramped together, so close that when standing between two, you can touch the smooth paint of both houses. The houses took away the view, the adventure, the mystery. I was so confused that morning I awoke to dust in the air and the green trees on the ground. I felt like they took away my land, my childhood.
I got over it and moved on, happy that maybe I would have neighbors again. But I later found it wouldn't happen. The small playground didn't hold new friends, the half million dollar houses weren't inviting; I stayed to my house most of the time.
Sometimes something sparks inside, whenever I watch a movie about teenager best freinds, next door neighbors that spend every day together I wish I had it, instead of my lonely little house that I really do love. I want to be able to walk to someones house, watch a movie and stay for dinner. I doubt it will ever truely happen, I have my friends, and not many live close, not many like living next to the local cemetery, or on a busy street.
I love my house, and I have great friends, so thats all I really need.

PS: Its raining beautifly today, a thunderstorm is here it amazing. Happy Father's Day

five rules when buying a gift card

Im sure everyone has gotten a gift card in their life, a birthday or Christmas, its usually a good idea, but there are some rules that should be followed when getting a gift card.
1. Age appropriate, highschoolers do not want some spongebob gift card, its just lame
2. put the amount on the card, no one wants to call in and ask how much is on it
3. at least think about a store, dont just get the closest card, put at least a little effort in it. If you really don't want to get a mall one, something broad, or better yet, cash.
4. Don't say to "don't spend it all in one place," its a gift card... to one store
5. and last, but the most important, dont put just five dollars on it, get a price that goes with the store. Walmart, ten bucks all fine and dandy, but american eagle, hollister, anything costly, at least enough for a shirt, fifteen perfer twenty. If you dont wanna spend that much, go cash, at least they can choose how to spend it.

So if you ever buy me a gift, follow these, please.
