Missing some ppl...
I need some new places...and some new faces...same ol' streets...too many memeries...*sigh*..need someting new...Signing off for a while



"Slipped Away"

Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh

Na na na na na na na

I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't

Oooooh
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh

I had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by

Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere your not coming back

The day you slipped away
Was the day i found it won't be the same noo..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that i found it won't be the same oooh...

Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you

my speech( long post...sorry)
Hello all! The reason for this post is for my sis....I was thinking about her and missing her today...and that reminded me that she wanted me to post my speech from the grad ceremony...and also for my other sis who is going through a hard time right now..hopefully things are getting better for her now ( ok both of them). I don't know I've just been thinking of them lately..a lot! One I've been missing like crazy...and really just tempted to make a road trip and go see her...to talk , to hang, to whatever...I've just been missing her. And the other , because she's been worrying me like crazy... she's been going through rough time..with everything and we haven't been getting along like we used to...I guess thats part of growing up too , but it bugs me when I can't help her out..or can't undersatnd her... even if I can understand where she's coming from... I still can't always reach her...and I guess that made me almost think abpout steping back from her life a lot more ..but then I relized something or thought of something ..." Live together or die alone" ...I love that quote from Lost ... probably because how true it is in life ... We need God in our lives...without him we wouldn't exist...without him we would be nothing... but we also need eachother... sometimes we need more then God to sustain us in our lives, we need friends... and sometimes if we're lucky and well blessed , we get friends who are more like family..and who are always there ,and who get us through our worst and best times...and don' give up on us...(even if we want to give up on ourselves). I have been so well blessed to have ppl in my life like that ...and I really know now..that I can't ever turn away from her (or anyone I care that much about) because she has been such a blessing in my life (though I don't think she know's it) no matter how fursterating life can be...I want ...and need to be there for her , as well as others...

oK wow..I just relized how long winded I can be without trying...so I'm going to post the speech and go to bed...

Well first of all I’d like to thank every body for coming here tonight. Our lovely and amazing MC. Mrs. Schlatter ,Our parents our instructors Our Family, Our friends,…and fellow graduates

It’s graduation day. It seems like it took a long time for this day to get here. But yet somehow it all went by too fast. We’re all here to celebrate our achievements , the fact that we’re now, educated… somewhat… mature young adults, ready to move onto the next step in our lives. Whatever that might be for each of us. Whether that is , leaving or staying home, going to college. missions work. finding a job. Taking time off , traveling , back packing thru Europe

(I wish) or doing whatever else God has planed for us.

One thing is for sure though. As we’re getting ready to move on, People are starting to give us more advice. Which got me thinking. What is advice? My answer. Peoples experience and observations summed up and passed on. So here’s my advice for the Class of 2007. And anybody else…

If you see an opportunity for something you want to go for in life. Take it!

It will leave you with a good or bad experience. In the end it all adds to your life, and helps make you who you are. So go for it! But if you find that you’ve let that certain thing for whatever reason , slip by you , or you find regret by some other way. DON’T beat yourself up about it. But rather learn from it. And know that regret can become a powerful motivator in life for wanting to…Carpe Diem(Seize the day)

Hold onto and fight for friendships and any other kind of relationships that mean anything to you. It might be hard to do at times. But you won’t regret it. Because after all we’ll still need the people who are there for us , who love us, who keep us where we need to be, and help us find and get to where we want to go. So take the time to keep in touch with the people who matter to you.

And my last bit of advice is very near dear to my heart.

DON’T procrastinate! If you don’t do it today , thinking you can do it tomorrow , or later that your just too tired or lazy to do it now , that you’ll be better able to , or more motivated to get it done later , believe me it won’t happen. Take the time today, right now to do it . Because you might not have later. Things happen on Gods time . Not ours.

So we’ve made mistakes and we’ll make more. Hopefully not the same ones.

We’re young yet. We’re still learning…. ,about life, about ourselves ,about what all we believe in and stand for. We haven’t got it all figured out yet. We’re not perfect…..just about , but not quite . We have new opportunities a head of us in life. Let us ,continue to learn, use what we have learned and learn from our past, to embrace and fully live the life God has planed for each us.

Thank you to our parents, our family, our instructors, our friends. For giving us, love , support , and guidance .For helping build the foundation of , who we are. And for giving us the building blocks for who we are becoming , for who God is planning for us to become. For helping us to find our light and let it shine.

Thank you.

And

God be with you

Night all!

update?...
Well hello xanga...and other sites this going to *waves* been a while since I've done a "normal " post so here's an a stb at it, I do have a cold...and my head is very stuffy so...hopefully this will make sense

Well I started School today, so I guess I can say summer is now over...*sad sigh*...*inhales the air of fall and is excited though* lol..ok so I'm only taking just the math class this sem...but next sem I fully intend to go full time . So baiscaly study hard ...work ...save...goof off a BIT , are my plans for this fall.

My summer however ROCKED!! ...mostly anyway...working a bunch!! atleast on the weekends...oh and the Plazza ROCKS!..atleast working there does : ) hehe... maneged to get in a few airsoft games( lavely scar from the last one) ...open house }:) ( and yes thank you notes are on their way ) ...GOT TO HANG WITH MY BIG SIS AND NIECE FOR A WHOLE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!! oh and finally got to go swing dancing hehee made up a dance with my dancing buddy Andy Disterheft (sp?) hehe the a..d.d a .j or the add a J to your everyday...and things will go your way ...or atleast it will brighten up your day sorry the cool little rhyme he made up to go along with our lil dance hehe I love it we keep adding things to it...heck we have sound effects with it .

I know I'm a dork!!! and I love it ...hmm someone at work said "droks make this geek stuff look charming and cute" ...so true....oh which brings me into the next thing I wanted to ...state on...

My rating, and classifacation system;

Dorks - those who are into/interested in all that "geek"...or other stuff, find it all cool and fun , make it look charming and cute to others who are not into it or otherwise ignorent about such stuff ....just have fun with it and don't let it consume our lives.

Geeks- those who are more serious then dorks about the things their into...still know how to have a good time...and intouch with the world around them...most of the time......

Nerds- the people who are full blown into whatever, it has consumed their lives...it is their lives....yeah..

haha...now this I thought up umm I think around Christmas time....thanks to a lovely inspriring conversation at Stake and Shake

Hanging out- pretty much how it is...just hanging out doing whatever , causual ...just friends

Non dates- doing something less casual...more formal ...or something more one on one base that most ppl would consider a date...but isn't i.e only just friends...or just doesn't feel like a date

Dates- well..I think we all know that one...and plus getting really tired....starting to losse my train of thought....

So goodnight to all out there...or goodmorning...and fairthee well summer till next year...and welcome fall.

*ihales the fall air, thinks of all that lies ahead* "If I take one more step , it'll be the furthest I've ever been from home"....Be careful...steping outside your door...if you don't keep your footing..there's no telling where you might get swept off to... * steping out with a *

God be with you~

I smile now, I laugh now... I want to live now..only cuz I turned my back away from the past long enough to see some light in life...back is turned , echos of the past call to me make me see what I don't want to face...want to forget..., wish had never happened...I watched you go through hell...I've seen you and couldn'r help...you couldn't see what I could..I couldn't make you...I didn't undersatnd how or why you could see and be what you were .I love you have always and understand now from glimpses from wha I ' ve seen ad your own words that make me fall & cry, I wish I could hug and rreach out to you ..erase that hell you lived and I seen, heal the wounds that that were ignored ...and tried to be forgotten...so that we might oneday turn our backs on a past that shouldn't have been, but was... Let the darkness go, let the hell fade ...conqur them so that they may nolonger call out....and run in life so that they might be small spcks to where we are now...or one day will be

Update
Ok so it's been a long time since I've updated. I don't know if it's cause I've been to busy or just didn't feel like writing , or was just tooo lazy. Ok so it's all of the above.

Anyway, yeah let's see here what all's happened lately...

Well I don't think I ever said I went to prom.(wow that was a long time ago I need to update more) if any of you ever get a chance to go to a prom ...take it, even if it sucks.(my experience didn't suck, could've gone a bit better but it didn't suck) I had fun.

Had my last Concert with the WMHSB ( no I'm not going to say the new name of it) bittersweet , went out on a good note (atleast a good piece...Pirates of the Caribbean )

My last band trip. Went to Olivet...again bittersweet..that was a fun trip reminded me of D.C in a lot of ways . I am soo going to miss the girls bus( lol well kinda). Got to ride there with a really cool girl that makes me wish I'd gotten to know some people better when I was in band when I had a chance to, and makes me realize just how much I'm going to miss my band people now that I'm not in band anymore....*sigh* oh well I'll live...God puts you where you need to be, and I'm ok with where I'm at right now.

What else...oh yes... the Graduation Ceremony!

That one was cool! I like'd our Senior class it was fun geeting to know them and planing the ceremony with them. Sure it was a small class, but it turned out well and I 'll stay intouch with at least 2 of them .Three of us gave a speech , Owen, Alexis and me . Mrs. Schlatter was our MC and we even talked Mr. Stiles( our band director ) into speaking . So I guess I'm done with highschool and band .......HERE I COME COLLEGE!!!

Oh and ...the big news ........I have a JOB!!

Yes the Cinema hired me! I like it a lot there , I like the people I work with , the floors back in consession, the free movies...just pretty much everything about it I like, or atleast can stand .

So yeah , theres been other things here and there too , but thats pretty much about it .. For now anyhow.

God be with you

Ok wow! Right now I'm at my local libary writing this cuz our internet/ cable is have some major problems..... this is sure bringing back some interesting memeries.....the "good ol days"

Anyway I really have to go soon so I'll try to write the going ons of my life last month and this month as much as possible, and hopefully that'll explaine the last few posts, or not w/e.

Well the whole month of April has been crazy/wounderful/ emotional,growing expeince( and filled with many realizations). My last last Concerts, the fun I had at the Choir concert sitting next to some my wonderful and best friends , and thinking about the honestly awesome times we had, that when your living thru them you might not appreicate / understand just how important they are to you , but looking back , you value them much more then you ever could have thought.Then I think it was that night I went for a walk that I think every one should take someday . A walk alone(no one around, and by yourself) at night on the beach. That night was sooo prefect and clear. The stars &moon were out , the beach seemed like it could have gone on forever and time would just stop so you could walk it, think, or not think and just loose your thoughts to the waves and beauty of the night. A prefect night for reflection,for looking back, trying to think ahead , and when all your thoughts get overwhelming, you could just , stop thinking and walk , enjoy the sand , waves and stars and forget everything! So I have to go ....closing time hehe

But I hope someday everybody gets that chance to walk alone at night on the beach , or at sunrise (not as great in my oppinion ), but still awesome.

~God bew ith you~

The Road..........
Somehow practically living in my car has been making me think about this song a lot more.....


The road goes ever on and on
down from the door where it began
How far a head the road has gone
And I must follow if I can........

a real update...
Ok it's time for a real update here real quick.

I'm feeling/ doing A LOT better then I have been lately...Drum Major tryouts were yesterday, that went pretty well, about 11 people tried out (in cludding mysefl) I'm not holding my breath for anything, everyone did pretty well and we won't know who all got it till Monday night . Prom is this Saturday!! Everything is all set for that, well atleast I'M all set, hehe , shoes, dress is all cleaned and altered (thankyou so much Mommy S, it's perfect!) have all the accerises and all that. Got the cap and gown yesterday for the Graduation ceremony (silver) hehe I love my tassel , just have to *cough* work on the speech I have to give on...er...advice, which is a lot harder then I though it'd be to write and slightly more umm intimidating when thinking about having to stand up and give the speech *shakes head and wonders what she got herself into *. Anywho and ofcorse there is still job hunting that I am doing, umm two weeks since the last bach of alps. were dropped off so now I'm thinking of where else to apply at...hmm anybody want to hier me??? So long as it pays, I'll do just about anything!

Oh well I think thats it for now. Good luck everyone at the concerts!

p.s. Getting the Senior pics taken went really well, cold but well and I can't wait to get them! (thanks so much, Mommy Waters )

Wow. I've tried to write this post for a while and havent been able to write it,for reasons... too many questions about life , (no questions about death though)and just the crazyness of my life lately.

Well, St. Pats day,we said our goodbyes to my Aunt Mary. The next day she passed away...today was her severice .

Name:Mary K. Jacobs-May

Date:May 28th, 1951 - March 18th, 2007

Death Notice:

Mary K. Jacobs-May, age 55, died Sunday afternoon, March 18, 2007. She was born May 28, 1951 in Muskegon to William and Ida (Greiner) Jacobs and had lived in Shelby for the past several years. Mary enjoyed her family and the arts. SURVIVORS include her son, Ethan May of Muskegon; 2 step-children, Bryan May and Kris Johnson; her mother, Ida Jacobs of Hart; 2 brothers, Joe (Raitanna) Jacobs of Spring Lake, Jim Jacobs of Montague; sister, Carol (Bill) McVicker of Pentwater; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by a sister, Linda Jacobs. PRIVATE FAMILY SERVICES WILL BE HELD.


And I think what my cousin wrote probably sums it up the best;

We will miss her quick witt, her flare for drama in telling a story like no one else could, her courage and strength to take on the world and fully expecting to win and of course her sense of humor. She touched all of our lives in so many ways this world will never be the same without her and then again Heaven won't be the same with her! We feel blessed to have known her and loved her for the time that we did- she will be missed.Laura ,Scott

She was the breath of freash air that smelled like an ash tray most of the time (she smoked since before I was born, really gave it up almost a month before she died) She was full of spunk and spirit defintly did things in her own way, she was fighter thru and thru, part of the wonderful ,fun and crazy (in a good way ) family that I love so much(can't beat em join em, just go for the ride, you won't regret it no matter where you end up)

Nov. of 2005 she was diagnosed with Leukiema, she put up one hell of a fight. Kemo, all nautral stuff and the family really helped, got behind her on all of it. I say this with pride "Doctor death(one of her docs that kept telling her she was going to die, because of the cancer) you lost! Not too sure of how she ended up where she did , but I do know this for sure....IT WASN'T THE FREAKING CANCER THAT KILLED HER!

The day we said goodbye I just slowly felt like the walls of my life were just closing in and crashing down on me all I wantted to do was runaway from....everything and everyone...

The day we were waitting for the news I just had to go to the place my feet & heart call home (the GH bordwalk ,pier and the lil park by it) The place I always go to when I need to be alone,to think to pray, to reflect , to sort things out, thinking that I really needed to be alone and just idk find some sorta peace, just breakaway from everything and walk( and boy did I!) I just know that I ALWAYS feel better when walking down there.For a while now I've been feeling like my horizines are shrinking, and home isn't quite home anymore or that it still is and I just don't need it quite so much anymore, that I'm ready to move on from the past and what I needed then, and move on to where and what I need now.Don't get me wrong I still love it, but it's just not the same(or I'm not) , and I'm redy to move on to what God has instore for me and my life now (no matter where or what that might be ). So both yes and no , I found some peace and some answers,and now I know for sure I'm not just running away, or wanting to run, but more like my life is leading me away (or getting ready to) ,but I also have many more questions, ones that have no answer in the forseeable future , and also a lot of anger of how she died or to what led to her death, and also my faith in so many things have been shaken, where once I second guessed myself, and everything else ,I now tripple guess everything.

*sigh* I walked as far and long as I could. the snow was melting, spring was here ,I almost made it to the end , just that last lil bit right at the end was COVERED in ice, so I couldn't go all the way out t listen to "In to the West " whch is something that I love to do on really crapy days, and great days, just walk the bordwalk all the way out to the pier and let the waigh/joy of the day just melt with the song , sunset and waves.There was never time when that song was as fitting ,helpful, and meaningful as to me as then. After I listened to it I was ready to be at peace with her dieing and to be there for my family.

I'd like to say I stayed that way since then but I've just been going through wave ,after ,wave of emmotin since then and only just now do I really think things are going to actauly be calm(er).

There is soo much more I need to say about her, and evything else,but I can't tonight..I'm tired and this post is already quite long as it is so... To Aunt Mary We love you and we'll miss you.

Goodnight

~God be with you~

....
Well folks I guess you guys want to know about the interviews huh? and yes there were two, same job different places. Well the first one was Thursday for P.J. .......my first interview and I'm glad it's over I sucked, crashed, and burned! wow two guys, barley any eye contact(them not me) and just about ready to cry afterwards.. idk I'm just glad thats over, still a chance I might get it but, I'm not holding my breath. Then there was today the one @ GH state park I actually walked away smiling , it went well, I won't say really well because apparently he had me down for 1:15 but I had it written down as 1:45 (thats what I heard!) but other then that it went much, much better then the first one. I went for walk afterwards, I just felt so happy and at peace with my life,and no matter what happens it'll be ok, things happen for a reason, my whole life has taught me that. Come what may...I'm ready for it! no matter what....

So thanks guys for the prayers , I really appreciated them!

well ttyl

My weekend.....
*sigh*.....I got a great night sleep in my own bed after sleeping on a very hard floor all weekend, and now I feel like writing about my weekend.(although I still think I'm alittle brain dead, and def *cts*)

First off before I get too wrapped up in what I'm about to type,I just want to say that HPA's Suessical rocked!! (thursday's show anyway)You guys were awesome, everyone did a great job, the costumes, the hair, everything was awesome,espically all the boys who missed their calling and should be in color gaurd So congrats HPA on another great show! and I hope yall liked the rubber bands



Well I was at the Gvsu HSHB since friday night*sigh* it was awesome, fun , exhausting, horrible, exciting,educational,interesting, motivating ,did I mention fun and horrible(?) all at the same time (pretty much my range emotions this weekend) not to mention a sore throat from all the laughing , junk food , and lack of enough sleep *sigh*

Lets see, Friday night I get there check in nothing too exciting ,a nice little practice for about 2 hrs then getting to walk in the freezing cold to our *cough* "rooms" more like really, really hard classroom floor and sadly a lot of people only had like sleeping bags myself included, although there were afew smart people who had airbeds (wish I was one of them) anyway they had like a lot of junk food for us *cringes* I don't even want to think about how much junk I ate this weekend, or see or smell junk food again. and then kinda got to know some people " Hi whats you name, what school do you go to, what instrument do you play?"nice to meet you" *walks away* that really cracks me up,uz everyone did that although there were a few really cool people I kinda hangout with *smiles at all the inside jokes and good times* andAlexis was there too which was really awesome to hangout with her all weekend.

Hmmm this is going to be really jumbled but, thats how it's in my head anyway. Breakfast of college people, doughnuts and juice,2 hrs of sectional, which was actually kind fun I think t's going to help me o alot better in my overall playing and I really want to go to their "clarinet day" now (now that I don't want to chuck my clarinet at a wall which was something I felt like doing most of the weekend) then *cringes* more junk for lunch, pizza and chips with pop *gasps for water* then more practicing for about 2-3 hrs, then diner which was REAL food! oh sweet water!! a salad never tasted sooo good then more practicing for about another 2-3 hrs.Oiy! by the time we got done (and a few hours before )everyone face was about to fall off from playing so much, even my teeth were hurting! I really need bracises cuz I think my mouth is getting claustrophobic,ok that was really random and didn't make much sense but oh well. *sigh* It's kinda sad too because I think this weekend has really brought it home to me that , even though I love music and it'll be apart of life in some for the rest of my life, I REALLY don't want to pursue it!I can't see me ever going pro with my clarinet even though I still love it I just don't have enough discipline or deep enough love for it to go though what it takes. anyway after practicing all our faces off we got a lot of down time to just hang and have fun ( till 1 :00 am!!) sadly more junkfood, although I have found out that Lays Pickle flavored chips are awesome! and then haging out with and Alexis and bubble group talking about pants and - pants dance , dacing, swimming in the salty chlorine water ( I would like to know someday as to why it's salty) playing basketball in the water,we are band geeks for a reason so more like trying to play,(although we did get a few good shots in) diving off the diving board ,which is something I haven't done in years it was total blast even if it was only the little board cuz we were all kinda scared of heights, taking pics in the lockeroom trying to see if one someone actually could fit inside of one (for the most part they can if thy really wanted to) just having a blast and laughing our heads off. We actually slept alot better that night, but we were all still kinda zombie-ish in the morning but with a very interesting conversation that now makes me want to get a kangaroo or some other type of unusual animal and just go thru drive thrus and freakout the the people that work there }: ) , then the same breakfast of zombie bands ,doughnuts and juice again!*they need a smile that looks sick* then more rehearsal, an actual luch!! and the greatest find....a vending machine that had water!!!! then getting dressed for the concret and our picture taken as a group, killing time (we had about 1-2 hrs before the concert) taking more pics with Alexis and bubble group with us actually looking nice in our uniforms, goofing off in this one really cool room where all the arm rests on the chairs came off and getting a ton of pics of us just goofing off, oh and I have come to the conclusion that that all band people , if they're not def already will someday be. I'm just really glad that i'm not the only one who hears something really dirty when some one said something really normal like," I need to get my lint roller", we hear " I need to get my lip whore" and " what you think I carry a marker in my dress?"we hear.....ok maybe I won't say this one , personally I blame the Brass and percussion for our loss of hearing (no offense to some of them).making a star out of all of us, a lil more goofing off, then it was time for the concert. GVSU's actual band went on before us , I just wish I had been more awake to really enjoy it, then our band went on. We made it though ok I guess, it was actually the best I played all weekend, which is really sad cuz I still sucked, but I was not that only one. apparently a lotof people didn't really go over the music that much before they got there, so that made me feel better.Well there is this one piece of music that I will probably never be able to get out of my head (although ll the music is now just so jumbled up in my head they now all sound like just one song).

Concert got over, only got a chance to say goodbye to a few people, got my stuff and got dinner and came home

So all in all, fun and horrible. The campus was beautiful,I can't wait to go there( for Film) and if any of you guys ever do the honors band there I strongly suggest you bring an Airbed water bottle , and carrot sticks , sleeping mask and ear plugs.

well tis all for now.

my hollidays and the many days after...
*sigh* the Holidays are all over now......Ya!!!!! sorry but I'm all warnout feels kinda like a ummm holiday hangover hehe.

I kinda meant to write this a lot sooner oh well.

Well I'll make this as short, simple and to the point as possible:

Afew days before, Christmas totally rocked!! I went to crazy bounce with a few friends. Man I love that place! and then afterwards we went to arbys


My Christmas eve was....well for those of you I haven't told this too (cs I'm sure I missed afew). Well we went to my brothers house in K-zoo. I woke up feeling like crap but I was determined that my niece would have a good Christmas (I didn't really have a whole lotta "Chritmas sprit" stupid lack of snow just didn't seem like winter even) We get down there, open presents have a wrapping paper fight(that rocked!!)after much confusion and much running around we finally ate. Only just before we left I kinda got this feeling like "oh I think i'm going to upchuck" and then did. The thing that got me down wasn't that I upchucked but that my niece wasn't feeling good either.That really bummed me out. Anyway after we left I was actually feeling better and my dad and I have talked about going to Midnight mass for years (no we're not Chatholic my dad was raised that way he no longer is though, just something I was curious about going to ) So we finally go. The first Church we go to "Saint Marys" apparently had mass at 10. Who the heck has Midnight mass at 10?? so went to "Saint. Patrick" instead. Got there, it started off alright then about 20 mins in we were standing up and then I get hit with that "I think I'm going to be sick" feeling again so I run off towards the bathrooms. Well apparently it was the hall to the mens room I was running down. If I had just looked over to the left side of the room I would have seen the hall to the womens room.But nooooo I didn't do that. so I get to the door and I see that it's the mens room so at that poing I keep going down that hall looking for the womens room or just a garbage can even, my dad comes after me checks the mens room for me make sure there's no one in there, says "go in here" . I get done come out the same time some other kid comes out and he just has this look like" OH NO!!! girls are everywhere!! why God why?" I know it's wrong but on the inside I was cracking up.Well atleast I can cross that of my list(to be posted later)and I can safely say I'll never convert to Catholicism! Not that I would have before either. Anyway My Christmas was good slept in a lil opened presents.Trust me I was shocked I got anything seeing how I already got what I ask for before (Dress and Gi) the only thing I didn't get was the rubber band gun but I'm not going to be whinning about that seeing how I got some really cool stuff B&N giftcard dvd of Willow (my favorite movie as a kid and I still love it)some makeup and some blank cds and a "Lost" Calender. and then we FINALLY had a fire in the fire place!!! it was awesome
My new year ROCKED!! It was my best newyears ever I went to a newyear non sleep party hehehehe.Rubberband wars, DDR, Movies, playing video games,and me and my happy lil trigger finger (Just be happy I don't own a gun ) clicking away like mad, and a TON of fun!
And then last Friday went to the party I've been looking forward to going to for MONTHS!It was an oscar thymyed 21 st Birthday party for one of my best friends. Great food, cool decorations ,Awesome people, got to finally wear my dress.Even had Willy Wonka there hehe.(or was it Mrs.Willy Wonka, Holly?)Got to use the Birhtday girls beautiful camera "Mr. Night" afew times ,stayed the night and actually got to sleep Turned her into a browncoat hehehe (you gotta love Serenity). All in all had a great time at one of the best partys ever!! oh and I got like one of the best Christmas presents ever!!! A "Samewise Frying pan"I love it!! Thankyou sooo much Holly Golightly!!

Oh and found out I made it into GVSU Honors Band!!!!!!! (as did Alexis ,congrats!)Well now I'm off to go practice my clarinet and clean my room. Have a great day everyone!

Tuesday; DRESS SHOPPING!!!! *jummping up&down* hehhehehe. I must have tried on about half the store or so (it was going out of bussness so everything is like 50%/75% off)I actaually liked/ was considering like about 7-12 dresses and they were wide ranging from black and strapless to light bule with a black design at the bottom of it (I have to find something now in that color patteren cuz it rock!) but it was the last goup of dresses and it was the 3rd one I tried on I zip it up and fell in LOVE with it!! it was like WOW this is the one!! this is me this is perfect! I LOVE IT! it's a beautiful dark blue full lenth dress with....a high back! wich is one of the things I LOVED about it not really showy and then met a friend a and saw a movie with a group of people and on my way home stoped by the laurens houses cuz I had to show them the dress and then get home and show the parents the dress. you know for a while I was begining to think that the schock of seeing me in a dress just might make my mom keel over, glad to know I was wrong (and no my dad didn't either)which is good.

Wed. extra symphony practice and then a wwe practice (everything seemed backwards) oh and trying to hunt down Mr. Mach to give him his Christmas presant (btw Joshy2 I loved that you did that for him! hehe) and then I agreed to do a photoshoot thing for a friend (a day in the life of thing) for his photo class. That was soo much fun! I had to grab some luch and then get something at store on 28th street and he needed film (yeah not even going to comment on that!) so that was fun running around on 28th st but i gotta say once you acept the fact that everyone's crazy and you take it from there your stress leavle goes way down. and then going about 80 on the highway to get back to GH which is something I NEVER do (and probably won't again unless it's on a motercycle) went to PJ down by the beach and pretty much lost all feeling in my hands (lack of wearing gloves) he took some shots and the I whiped out my camera and started shooting wich was soo much fun! even got a couple of him (hehehe )i love doing that taking pics while their taking pics. and then went by the ymca up that huge hill bejhind it, well lets just say it was a bit a hike soo much so that he very nearly came close to a very bloddy and sandy end. but I decided to show mercy and let him live(that and the parking lot was packed soo too many witnesses)

Thursday. Symphony concert!!!!!!!!!! and then afterwardss staying the night over at Hollys! omg! I had soo much fun! ooh wow trying our dreses, eating tortais and cookieshehe! watching the last part of Pride and Prejdice (the only one worth watching!!hhehe Colin Firth rocks and is the ONLY one who can play Mr. darcy!) then watching charade omw! that was an awsome movie!! I LOVE Cary Grant!! and Adury hedpberen was soo awsome in that! til aout threehehe.

FRI. slept in til abot 11 ish which was soo nice! watching Lord of the beans &eating breakefast and cookies hehehe then watching the dead poets socity which is an incredibale beautiful movie I LOVED IT!! then hitting a few stores on 28 th st around 3 ish. B&N I love that store and my list of books to get have now grown quite a bit and cds and dvds... Oh i love that store we were in there there for hours but still not long enough.... then Lynches liar found it very hard to leave that store.... and then the World Market wich is another cool store,and then a perfect ending...ARBYS!! hehehe good food and cheep well their 5 for 5 thing... and not getting lost!! thanks to the wonderful beautiful directions I got from her and her father otherwise I would have been freaking out slightly see ng how it was really dark by the time I left.

Sat.Boned with the parentil units and now going to bed

thankyou sooo much! I love this song!:)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ?9...Wear sunscreen


If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked...You’re not as fat as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing everyday that scares you

Sing

Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss

Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind...the race is long, and in the end it’s only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what to do with your life...the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.






Get plenty of calcium

Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary...what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either - your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can...don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.

Dance...even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

49 second break in speech -- Quindon singing

Get to know your parents, you’ll never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, price will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time it’s 40, it will look 85.

Be careful who advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen...

this is just something that I can't get outta my head .... there was this song in the late 90/earily 2000 that kinda had all this really cool advice and then went into something like..." but the best/only thing I can say is ...use government recomened spf 15"...any does any body remember it?...or knows who sings it ...or the name of the song? if you do plaes,please,please let me know!
thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Ok I know I've been hinting around about this for awhile,and I actually might have said something to some of you but.........I HAVE FOUND MY DREAM JOB!!(not career,major diff) I really want to work as a park ranger at P J Hoffmaster or GH state park (leaning more to PJ) and even if *shudders* *inhales* I don't *winces at the mere thought of it* don't get the job at either place i'm going try at the cinema Carousal same place where my brother worked for years!! (if can't get a job there I can't get a job anywhere) but I'm really hopping /praying for P J! It just seems like it's time/been time for a while to get a job and right now everything seems to be going good and the right time to finally get a job ( I've really wanted one for a long time now) and above all else it's my dream job!! its one of those 18 and up job positions and I wanted this job since I was like 17 or 16 so yeah...it seems like everything finally coming together for this to happen

it's just time for me to get a job and I am really looking forward to it! Although I won't be moving out of my parents house until I'm done with college,or actually have a plan/ idea of where I'm going (hopefully I will....)

Anyway yesterday was an incredible day absolutely beautiful! the perfect day just to go aroud some of the parks around here...like Tunnel ,Holland,and GH state park . I was just going to go out to tunnel,(cuz it was a possibility of going there to get my senior pics taken there) I went out there (beautiful park by the way )i go down to the beach area and I'm looking around and I see the holland lighthouse and it dawns on me that I haven't been down there before (not that I can remmber anyway) so I take *cough* some.. more pics and then hop in my car and drive down there get out and take*cough* some....ok you all should know I have a trigger finger (just be glad I don't own a gun) well after taking about a million pics there I head home and it's getting to be about sunset and what kinda person would be if I didn't get shots of the Gh beach at sunset on such a perfect day? I didn't want to find out! so I had to go.*sigh* I've lived in Gh my WHOLE life ...and I love it! the whole town,the streets ,the buildings, the beach,the boardwalk!,the peire!,the dunes, sometimes even like the people too.but on such perfect days it's hard not to be inlove with it
well anyway off to bed

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

~God be with you~

AJ

p.s.I think I'll have the pics taken GH state park....

I don't like to complain about my life. I konw my life is going a lot better then has been in a really long time,but for some reason I can't escape feeling /thinking like.......I'm stuck/left behind and lost! and I hate that feeling I just really want to run/runaway... I'm tired of everyone I know moving away/on and me just being stuck and left behind I hate that feeling and feeling that way esp. when they want to move on/away and the worse thing is it always comes in waves it hits me that they're no longer going to be there, just when you get used/liking something it changes on you or even worse they/it's been around forever you think it's always going to be there, that they're always going to be around and then they're not. it's like the foundation of my world is just slowly coming apart (sometimes not so slowly). then I start to feel better truly better,then something reminds me about it or some one else goes and then I get hit again.

*sigh* I'm saying all this cuz I just want to move on from it, and cuz I can't get away from thinking about it or feeling it i just wanted to state it in hopes of being able to move on from it really move on. I felt like I'm not really living,just bidding my time waiting to live my life and I'm tired of that! it's just really frustrating knowing that at my age my bro and sis were living out on there own had jobs and etc. and i'm still in hightschool and am living at home with no job(for the moment tee hee he ) I'm not trying to compare my life with theirs, I know I am/want to be different then them, I'm me ,not them and am happy about it, but still.....

anyway I want to move on to some thing else for this already long post, but before I do....

I've been mad at some one for a very long time,I been really angry at this person, I was kinda close to this person at one point but their actions (which were kinda dierceted at some body/ cuz of some body else ) hurt me(i wouldn't even admit that), I couldn't think about this person without getting angry, I took what they did (and didn't do) very personally (I shouldn't have but I did) I had cut (or tried to cut )the person out of my life as much as possible (which wasn't too hard I even wanted to forget them) not too long ago though I could actually understand why they did what they did (I wouldn't do it but I could understand why they did)which has really helped me to forgive that person, to let go of all the resentment,anger and let that person back into my life and actually have a good relationship with that peson (ok that and afew other things but still...) and actually having fun with that peson, going to see things, bonding ,getting to know that person better,then having that person move out of state. that part kinda sucks but it's what that person want's and I'm not angry....just miss that person.

Well here's to all the people(and even things/places) I've been thinking about and miss;

The Gand, GH as I've known it though the years (blast you, stupid development!)( I still LOVE GH though )Sean(I thought somehow you'd still be working at the cinema when I'm like 30) a very familiar face and some one to pick on and talk to when I got there early and even after words, The formentioned person, I love you and miss you very much

and to all the ex band people; from... Holly,Gwen, Carla, Michael, Drew,R &R, and a whole bunch of other people, the list could go on and on forever! to... well from this year;

Torri, I salute you ,you are definitely one of the coolest people I know, you were the coolest roomy in DC cuz of you i now have a very deep fondness rubberbands te he I know God will bless you in whatever you do,love ya like a sis! and then last but defiantly not lest....Seth the pillar of band (well just about).... one of the first people I knew in band and again one of the coolest....band just seems sooooo deserted without you there ....actually to all you ex band people, infact if it weren't for the actual playing of the instruments ( and Mr. Stiles)it woudn't be band at all anymore!

well getting late I'll write about the good things in my life tomorrow but I leave you with some songs that have been on my mind (at least part of them)

.~............That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe.... ~


~......Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars.

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares.

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me.~

~....look around you .look down the bar from you at the faces that you see. are you sure this is where you want to be?

these are your friends but are they real friends ? do they love you as much as me?are you sure this is where you want to be?....

but look around you take a good look just between you and me are you sure that this is where you want to be?.....~

Well goodnight

~God be with you~

I meant to do this a LOT sooner so um yeah the last few weeks;

Mon. end of editing classes in Holland! (woohoo) and not getting hurt in aikido major plus!

Wed. Going to Wendys for a frosty just before band ,Torri ,Andrew and me all in my car,(and we didn't get into a car accident)
I had a challenge in band so I might not be first anymore, ohwell what will be, will be ,and then a lot of sight reading music in wwe (no Alexis there to make us sound good)
And how about this for a sign of the end of the World.....few weeks ago Mrs. Shoup (orchestra) takes over concert band for Mr. Stiles ....and last week Mr. Stiles takes over Symphony for her....so you have a orchrastra teacher directing a band,and a band teacher directing a symphony orchestra

And After Band I went to a Friends house visited for a while. *inhales* twas lovely, we talked , and talked, lotr ,hp , old Band days etc.... if only we lived closer to eachother,watching lost would sure be interesting

Friday, went with a friend to take pictures for photography class (my friend's class,not mine),then after words went bowling(I have not bowled in YEARS so that was interesting ) I had a blast !

Sat. went to Holland hung out with....some more friends! we went to the mall and tried on dresses. Yes I actually was looking for one ! (more on that later) again had a blast!

Sun. went up to my Grandma J's ,visited with her and my Aunt Mary the perfect end to a great week !

Tue. Went to visit my brother & my niece ,my niece has a rubber band gun!! and I brought my ummm rubber bands....and well teehee teehee elts WAY TOO MUCH FUN!! for her, for me and I THINK for my brother, (soo he has a few bruises he still enjoyed it).
I ended up making a pumpkin pie for them too,which my niece helped with ,and then got hold of my camera and started clicking away and when my brother was trying to get us to leave my niece got on his lap and said " please dad just 5 more mins" if that isn't just the sweetest thing in the whole world or what!

Wed. another frosty run *cough* ok more like two ,we now have a frosty club at band! and I lost my chair by 1 1/2 points I'm so challenging again! and after band....Light saber fight!!! didn't have tape in my camera though

Thurs. came close to rolling correctly! (Aikido)

Fri. Sore throat and wishing I was in IN visiting with my sis and other niece (without the sore throat)

Mon. feeling better,raked leaves, did ok on the rolling ,got whiplash from a move done way too fast! cliped my sensei nose with my fresh cut nails (I cut them so this wouldn't happen) and drew blood , not too bad though, oh and aparently I have a major tell when I'm about to hit somebody,I shake my head like I shouldn't be doing it , thats what he was looking for instead of moving his head out of the way when I cliped him.

and thats it for now
Happy Halloween everyone

~ God be with you~

You Are From Uranus

You shine with brilliant creativity, and you're more than a little eccentric.
You love everything unusual and shocking. You're one far-out chick or dude.
Anything unconventional excites you - and you have genius potential.
Just don't let your rebel side get the best of you, or else you'll alienate everyone.
Your original thinking and funky attitude is all you need to be you.

It's a good sign if you can laugh @ yourself...
...it's just a bad sign if you can't stop

Ok well for those of you who don't know(and do know) I have my arm in a sling

*inhales* I hurt my left shoulder in a self defense class,I've had a torn AC joint for almost two weeks now and it's getting a lot better.

Well I'm taking Aikido it's on Mondays & Thursdays, and the first class was Last week Mon. I get there , and not only am I the only girl there (on mondays,there's another girl there on thursday) I am also the only one who is completely new to Martial arts (oh joy).Anyway the first thing they have us do is roll onto the mats,about the third roll or so, somehow I end up rolling the wrong way on my shoulder....I didn't hear a popping,or any other sound like I broke or dislocated something. *btw it took my "Sensei" personally 6 months to learn how to roll.

So I kept going on, thinking that it was just kinda sore, shake it off ,keep going you'll be fine. Well long~ish story short I kept going on with classes,it just got progressively worse, so by the time we were done I was ready to go home. Well you never really understand how much you use your shoulder til it's so sore you can't move it without a whole lotta pain. That was the longest & most painful 10 min drive in my life! oh well only myself to blame.

*sigh* I can't wait to go back to classes,I mean other then that whole hurting my shoulder thing ,I loved it! By the way aikido is a "causing pain, without causing harm" kind of Martial Arts.

Anyway the whole month of September just kinda flew by so here are the highlights(all that I can remember anyway ,I did also hit my head on the mat too that night)

Band started ( got first chair again), School started, got sick & lost my voice for a day,my brother turned 28, gave my mom what I had,went to the Hoedown and actually danced! (ok so it was square& line dancing, but it was still dancing,and talking with Lauren & Michael the rest of the night as well as played monkey in the middle with an almost empty pop bottle. Jolly good fun) then almost getting rear-ended on the way home (didn't, but almost did) starting self defense class, torn AC joint got X~Ray, arm in a sling and thats about it.

Well I need to go to bed so...Goodnight all !
