manatee cookies!!

soooooo here we go....

the cookies!!!


i made them allll by myself :) hehehe


well...almost all by myself hehe
i had to reassure clifton, my manatee, that these were in fact sugar cookies and not Made of manatee's....oh clifton, you crazy thing


goodness...making cookies are HARD!!! betty crocker gets mad props from me


they's a-cookin...dang ovens are about the most unattractive things ever...and that oven is pretty dang new


the first batch...got a little crispy on the edges...hehe oops...


heres most of them...haha there was more baking but i forgot to take another pic..but YUMM they are certainly GOOD!


manatee cookies yo...
so i basically loves sarahs mom a whole lot for getting me these cookies.
plus the bag was green...and did i mention they are MANATEE cookies :)
too bad little sarrrrah wasnt here to make them with me, boo!
haha...
so tonite was movie night with the mom...we just watched Brokeback Mountain-pretty depressing, but real good, i LOVE focus-feature films tho what can i say...
now we are about to watch the producers, hollerrrr.

haha ok bloggers...that is allll for tonite, comment it UP! :)

the more you know...womp WOMP haha

random fact to start off this blog...but, i was watching NBC tonite...and i saw one of "the more you know" commercials...those commercials, are a little redundant, in my opinion...a little on the conservative side.

in other news, i saw the new dixie chicks video today. and let me just say, i loved it. those girls really put it to the American public...i mean, just because they are famous doesnt mean they aren't allowed to voice their opinions. America has this thing about, if someone is famous, they should do their job and keep their mouths shut about anything else...like famous people aren't allowed to form opinions...one of the country stations here in town even "banned" the dixie chicks music from being played on their station...oh That will get them...thats like when the US got mad at the french, and we came up with "freedom fries" and "freedom toast"...anyway...i think what the dixie chicks did was pretty great, it took a lot of guts for them to do that...read the lyrics...

"Not Ready To Make Nice" Dixie Chicks
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

a change of pace and place

well i've decided that i'm going to stop making this some kind of over melo dramatic blog...its time for a change...

i got home from school about a week ago...and I have to say it is pretty strange. I am slowly readjusting to everything and getting used to not being on my own. I keep praying for patience and to keep in mind that my parents are overjoyed for me to be home. I have to stop acting like a brat, the summer will be over before I know it. I should enjoy this time of not having classes...but I honestly can hardly function without my friends. I depend on them a lot more than I thought I did. I know that once we get back, it will be even better than it was this past semester. My friends at school now that I hang out with I just met basically two months ago and we became closer than anything. I hang out with carl and cameron like everyday and we always get lunch and dinner together...and sarah and I hang out like 24/7 basically, like attatched at the hip. She popped up in my life right when I was beginning to think that most of the girls at school were self absorbed. I thank God everyday for my friends now. I never have any drama to deal with, and if there is any sortof situation that needs to be worked out, we do it face to face without a go between. We aren't worried about stuff like that, it saves a lot of grief in the end. Anyway...I am going to go and finish my frappe' and go back to my house. I'll be updating soon with some pictures hopefully!!! :) a new entry to come soon, i promise!

God Bless!

to live...
to
live
would
be
an
awfully
big
adventure.

awesome weekend

this weekend = beyond fun with carley ...

like....

it was awesome .... the most fun i've had in a while. . . . .

downtown wilmington is amazing ... but when its with you best friend... its that much better.


it helped me forget.......everything that was bugging me .... basically

broken.

useless by: imogen heap

I am a mirror, with no reflection
I am a razor, without my blade
I am the daylight, when the moon shines no
Who will want to make my sandcastle that’s already made

I feel so useless, do you

Speak to an ear deaf to my voice
Look through your fear, still blind to my way
I reach to hold you, but I don’t feel you there, do you
Even realize I'm here am I just wasting away?
No wasting away
Living, inside you play

My dying prayer, sealed in a scream
Unwelcome, and a conscious dream
I am your whore, without a name
I climb to fall, to begin again, to begin again
I climb to fall, suffer, hatred, deceit and pain
Anger, regret, loving in vain

I am an arrow, with no direction
My life your tarot, my picture your fate
I'm your becoming, so ill always be nothing
If i ever break away from you that day forth, you’ll be living
My hate
Oh God help his fate
I'll watch you, watch you suffocate

next...

perpetually a winner of the 2nd place medal.....................










in everything......period.

too much...

i give too much...
i expect too much...
i invest too much...
i try too much...
i think too much...
i care too much...
i mess up too much...
i pursue too much...
i know too much...
i feel too much...
i dream too much...
i assume too much...
i love too much...

when does it end...when is it just enough

small.

look. examine. feel. live.

live.......to live, would be an awfully big adventure.

not the same

i wish you would stay...but its not the same...just go.


just go.

a ship with feelings...but no one to steer it

changes

i remember this time last year...and how different everything was
the people i know now...were not in my life
and i started thinking yesterday
that the people that were in my life, this time last year
arent really in my life like they used to be
at the present

time has really flown, and i feel like im running as fast
as i possibly can and im still not gaining ground
it feels like im on this turntable with a broken record
under my feet.

i think that the more i try and figure out who i am
and what i want out of life
the less i actually find out...
i feel as if my life right now is abridged...but i want
to read the full story...i just cant seem to find it

isn't it odd when you all of a sudden realize
that the people you thought knew you the best
don't know you at all
and the people you thought you knew
were all of a sudden strangers

maybe college is just funny that way...
you get to meet so many amazing people
and you have the opportunity to make so many
life long - lasting friendships...
and they do, last for a while
and then, right when things are going great
a huge cloud moves out and blocks it all
but hopes are high that things will change
the only thing constant lately is
change

i am hoping that as i am growing older,
and as i realize how mature i have truly become
that i will be able to handle situations
more appropriately
i am tired of feeling like the little kid at the dinner table
that's not who i am, so don't treat me that way
for too long i've been pushed around
but, no more

i just for once would like some people
to think of me, just once
i know its a tough thing...but when
you are the family i have here...its nice to know that
when you need a shoulder to cry on, that i am here
and when i need a shoulder to cry on, or just a hitman
then you guys will be here...
not knowing that is the scariest feeling ever

today i felt void of emotion and true friendship
im not exaclty sure what brought it on
maybe it was the rain...
...or maybe its just my issues, overwhelming my senses.
whatever the case, i am going to fightback
the only thing worse than thinking about giving up
is...giving up

i am not giving up...i am changing...i am learning...
i am growing...

some people will never truly know how much they mean to us
until that cloud moves in....

opening night

well, here it is...my first official post.
