yay more things crossed off the list!!

Well, we are at 20 days now. The terror is slowly disappating and the excitement is taking over. I think I'm really ready to go, and that I'm really going to love Ball State. Now the only thing I worry about is leaving my mom. I'm her best friend, and when I left for school last time, it was really hard on her. Maybe it'll be easier this time? idk... I hope so. I hope she finds things to keep her occupied that make her happy. I'm thinking about suggesting that she take some classes at Butler since she can do so for free. I think that might be good for her. She's always like learning.

And now on to the lists! I've now decided THE list into 2 lists. Here it goes.

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...

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...

Inspiration Pt. 4

Today, I graduated from therapy. I began there on March 11th, and I ended on April 11th. The counselors were proud of me, amazed that I was ready to leave so quickly. But I wasn't. I wanted it. I wanted to get better. I was eager to learn, eager to work, eager to listen. I fought hard every single day to get better.  The graduation ceremonies are always bitter sweet. Everyone sits around in the small group circle, and they pass around a pin that looks like a dove, and the members of the group and counselors talk about you and give you words of encouragement. The counselors were the only ones there today who had seen me when I first came into the program, everyone else had started after me. One after another, though, everyone spoke about how positive I was. One of the group members even went so far as to say I had a beautiful, colorful aura around me. The counselor told me I gave thoughtful, holistic feedback that would be missed when I was gone. Most people cry, but I didn't. I...
