24 Days and Counting

As I expected, my time left before I leave for school is dwindling away. The more I think about leaving, the more things I realize I'm leaving behind. I'm leaving behind some really great friends like Tim and Shelby, but I know that both of them will come to visit me. I'm leaving behind my mom, which is hard for me, but I think it's even harder on her. I'm also leaving behind Hendricks Civic Theatre and all that it is to me. HCT is my family and my home. It will be hard being away and not being able to be involved in their shows and everything. I know I have to go, that I need to go, and I do want to go. I want to go and learn and be able to do the thing that I want to do for the rest of my life. I'm just not so good with goodbyes, and really bad with watching other people's lives going on without me as though I was never in them.

I'm determined (or perhaps just hopeful) that I'll make new good friends at school. I don't find that I make new friends easily, but maybe at Ball State it'll be different. I don't know. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Love Monologue from the movie Stardust

Yvaine: You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it; I've seen centuries and centuries of it. It's the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All the wars, pain, lies, and hate, made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves! I mean you could search the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So, yes I know that love is unconditional, but I also know it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable, and strangely easy to mistake for loathing. And, well, what I'm trying to say, Tristan, is.. I think I love you. My heart it feels like my chest can barely contain it, like it doesn't belong to me anymore; it belongs to you, and if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange: no gifts, no goods, no demonstrations of devotion, nothing, but knowing you love me, too. Just your heart in exchange for min...

Monologue: Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, I was the happiest I would ever be, though at the time I didn’t know it. I had three of the best friends in the world: Alex, Lauren, and Kristin. I also had the best boyfriend I could have hoped for. His name was Kevin. Life was pretty magical that last year of high school. I had friends I wanted to be friends with for the rest of my life, I had a boyfriend girls would have given anything for, and it seemed almost certain that life would continue to be incredible for years to come. Life had other plans though, and it changed abruptly when I started college. I broke up with Kevin in a daze of insanity when I first got to college. To this day, I couldn’t tell you exactly why. All I remember is feeling lost and alone, and there was this boy there at school who seemed like he really wanted to be with me. Turned out he didn’t, and Kevin ended up moving on, and I ended up throwing away something wonderful. Kristin… has changed in these first couple of years I’ve bee...

And the Lists Begin...

hahaha before I actually start this blog, I would just like to post this text message exchange... Me: Tim we need to make more memories before I leave for college. Tim: Like babies! And now on to the real blog. Today, I started making lists concerning college (what to buy, what to pack, etc.) because that's what I do, and I decided to make a list of all the things I want to do before I leave for school. So here are the 28 things (28 for all the days I have left before I leave) that I want to do before I leave. They're not in any particular order except for the order in which they popped in my head. Go see Harry Potter again Get my tattoo Go to Kings Island Hang out at the lake with my friends See Grease with Tim and Deandre Teach my mom how to use iTunes and how to do stuff on the HCT fanpage Take pictures at the park with Tim and TALK Sort my clothes and shoes for college Update my digital picture frame with newer pictures Go to the eye doctor Shop for college stuff Buy new cl...
