Scaring the Sam

After alot of planning and remembering to grab the suit, we finally pulled it off :D

My "contemplating" face :D

I am a lady of many faces(not in any way to be confused with being "two-faced"). I suppose a safer way of putting it is to say that I am a lady of many expressions...?

Tristan's laughter brought me back to earth from the distant planet in my mind in which all my thoughts are processed. "What is it?" I asked him out of curiosity. "You made a face I hadn't seen before, it was so cute!" He said sweetly(as always). "I did?" I asked once more. Apparently I make a lot of different faces without knowing it until he points them out. "Yeah, your nose was all scrunched and your eyebrows were furrowed but only slightly and your mouth was pushed to the side like you were puckering."(he is very good at describing the faces to me.) "Like this?" I made the face once more causing him to laugh again. "Yeah, that's it." "Oh.... must be my contemplation face." I stated with a sigh. "What were you contemplating." "Nothing important...... Say, do you think Toby would care if I took a sip of his drink?" He simply laughed again..

We talk of love...

...when we can't make peace with the person next door.

...when we turn on our friends without a second thought.

...when we can't find anything in ourselves but hate.

...when our hearts are so full of anger that we can't escape.

...when our souls are cold and our heads are hot.

...In times like these, we talk of love.

The Formal

May 21st of 2011 we will once again be having a spring formal at MDT. Alot of people are rather excited about it. I'm not necessarily psyched but I am definitely going. Unfortunately a lot of the kids seem to feel that it's necessary to have a date for the formal. I don't know why they make such a big deal out of it. This will be the third year in a row that we've done this but for some odd reason this year everyone seems to think that it would be very important to have someone to bring with them. I do think that its adorable that all the little boys are wanting a girl to go with I just think it's horrible that there is only one girl around their age. I feel very sorry for that one girl. My friend Samie has already had three different(very young) little boys ask her to go to the formal with her and I've already disappointed two myself. "Why can't you just go by yourself?" I asked him. "Because everyone else has someone to go with." He replied. "Don't you get tired of being like everyone else? I don't have to have someone to go with." I stated quite simply. "So you're not going with anyone?" he asked. "No, not that I know of anyways, and if I decide to go with anyone it won't be because everyone else has a date." I said. I don't know why everyone feels the need to have someone to go with but I wish I could tell everyone that going by yourself is perfectly acceptable and it's stupid to feel weird because you don't have someone to go with. I had fun at both of the formals before this one without having a date and I intend to enjoy this one also date or dateless. :) Enjoy the formal everyone. :D

The Hardest Decision in my life RIGHT NOW

Green Chai Tea or English Tea Time tea. I love this relaxed life of mine, it makes me happy. For a long time I have lived my life the "smart" way, I thought about everything I did and said and the way I said or did it or if I should even do or say it at all, and it got old.... Recently, however, I stopped being so cautious, I don't live my life recklessly or anything like that, but I don't take unnecessary thought to every detail of my life like I once did and I have never felt so relaxed/happy in my life! It might not be the "smart" way to live my life, but I am truly, very happy living my life in this manner. I'm happy to not care and put pressure on myself that is unnecessary, I'm happy to not care about whether this is or isn't the smart thing to do, so if you would like to keep your critisizing to yourself on this one, I would be very, VERY, happy :) Love you guys!

Daffodil Vs. Iris

Take the Chivalry Iris for example, it is in many ways far more beautiful and extravagant than the daffodil. It's color deep and vibrant, it's shape unique and elegant, why in comparison to the common yellow daffodil, it is easily a far lovelier flower. It might make more sense for someone to favor the Chivalry Iris over the Daffodil. It's prettier, bright, much more spectacular than the boring daffodil. But maybe I don't have to make sense.. maybe the daffodil just fits better. :)


This is a very random draft from a long while ago, I assume I simply meant that sometimes what we like doesn't have to make sense to everyone else as long as it makes sense to us :)

Embarrassing stories of Nathaniel Libbeys life by Sharron Brown

PSYCH!

I have however been very tempted to make a blog out of some of your embarrassing stories but since I promised not to tell anyone I won't. But I suggest not mentioning too many more of them to me or it might slip my mind ;) lol!

My life is interesting...

Alot has happened that I simply haven't posted anything about because I haven't posted anything in quite sometime so this is going to be a long one(unless I cut it short). Enjoy :)

At around(I think) the middle of September(maybe it was earlier) my sister started dating this guy Michael. Michael lives in Wolftown Virginia.... Very far from Cleveland Tennessee. He is a great guy, very tender and sweet, a good sense of humor and a very gently individual. Unfortunately it didn't work out between them :( but Michele met someone(just a figure of speech, she already knew him) else. His name is Toby and he is an equally awesome guy. He's kind, funny and perfect for my sister. They make eachother happy and as long as my sister is happy thats all that matters and if anyone upsets her I would probably be the first to take their head clean of their shoulders because I love her to bits :)

They have already been on lots of dates(chaperoned by none other than myself :D). They really seem to like eachother, which is good because I think that they are good for eachother(if nothing else because they make an awesome team on most video games... j/k :P). The fact that they have known eachother as friends for three years without liking eachother means that they know how to be real around eachother without worrying about what the other one thinks because after knowing eachother for three years and they like eachother its probably genuine. I hope everything works out for them because they deserve eachother(something I rarely say so now you know that Toby is an awesome guy cause hardly anyone deserves my sister). I would say now that he had better treat her right, but I know that I don't have to worry about that as long as she's with him.

GATLINBURGH!!!!

Some Saturday in January we went to Gatlinburgh it was Toby, Michele, Jessie(An awesome girl I go to church with), Micah(An awesome guy I go to church with(also Jessie's boyfriend)), Tristan(Toby's friend from work), and me. We went out to eat at T.G.I. Fridays and we also played mini gulf, visited about twenty ninja stores, went to two haunted houses, played in an Arcade for a bit, and ate at Mel's Diner on the way back. It was a blast. The best part of the day however, I would have to say, was the first haunted house we went to. Multiple hilarious things happened in that haunted house....

"Walk in a single file line with your hand on the shoulder of the person in front of you." I heard the worker say as we walked into the haunted house. Jessie and Micah had gone to Ripley's Museum leaving Toby, Michele, Tristan and I to venture into the haunted house by ourselves. There were two people in the front that we didn't know. In the order of front to back Michele was behind the two people we didn't know, than Toby, and than me, and than Tristan. Doing as we were told we made a human chain, hand to shoulder. During some random point as we walked through the dark hallway I felt Tristans hand leave my shoulder. "Tristan?" I said. No response. "Where did you go?" I still didn't get an answer as we continued to walk through the haunted house. This made me paranoid to begin with. As we started to walk into another room Tristan seized his chance, he jumped out grabbed me by the shoulders and I don't know if he made any scary noise because I screamed so loud that it probably blocked it out. "Tristan I'm gonna shoot you after this!" I yelled when I realised who it was. He simply laughed of course.

As we made our way into the next room a faint red light lit up the hallway. Fake body bags hung from the ceiling. Chain-link fencing was placed randomly in the room. Red paint splattered the walls. On the other side of the room a man stood behind a fenced in room with a body lying on a table before him. He took out what appeared to be some sort of innerd(actually just a sock full of beanies and soaked in water) from the fake corpse and threw it hard against the chain-link fence to splatter "blood" across the spectators. Unfortunately I was still fussing at Tristan when it happened so we both missed it. Michele(who tends to lighten the mood on things) looked at the man "That was kool but my friends missed it, could you do it again please?" she asked quite simply. Dumb-founded the employee(obviously not seeing how we could possibly miss it) said "Open your eyes!" he did it again and than sighed. As we left the room I heard him say "I never had a request before..." I couldn't help but laugh.

The next "interesting" room we entered was the hallway with spinning walls and a bridge that goes through the middle. It throws you off ballance and makes you feel like your walking sideways. After spending too much time in this particular room I started feeling sick and walked to the room on the other side of the bridge. After a while Tristan came to see if I was okay. I told him yes and he started to go back into the room when I heard Michele say, "I can run through without using my hands, watch this!" unfortunately Michele didn't know that it also messed with your depth perception. Alls I saw was Michele flying past Tristan and me and running into the wall. I laughed so hard I felt like they would have to carry me out due to how badly my abbs were hurting. This was possibly the most hilarious thing that happened that day. I don't think that I'll ever forget it.

Finally after leaving that room we started back to the entrance. The people who had come at the same time as us were long gone by now. I think we had spent a top of fifteen minutes in that one room. It was so dark that I couldn't see two inches in front of my face. I had to rely completely on Tobys navigational skills as he had now taken the lead and Michele was the one who I was holding the shoulder of. I suddenly felt the walls close in on me from either side, I assume that the walls were actually some inflatable material and we now had to squeeze through them to get to the other side. Behind me I heard Tristan say "Ouch, I just ran into a wall." This struck me as odd since it was physically impossible to run into anything because of how tight of a fit it was.

"THIS WAY OUT" The sign in front of us read. Instead of following the sign, however, we decided to inspect the rest of the hallway. In the back there was a door with a window on it behind the window there was a figure. Toby knocked on the glass. He thought he saw him flench but when he didn't move beyond that Toby thought it was just a manacan. As we started to walk back we heard the door open and turned around. "Can't you read moron?!" The man yelled "What are you retarded?!" He said once more. He closed the door. I laughed as we walked towards the exit. We heard a loud noise like a chainsaw and the man followed us out the exit with a fake chainsaw like a zombie "Here take the small one!" Tristan said as he grabbed me by the shoulders and shoved me towards the guy with the chainsaw. We left the haunted house and the moment we stepped outside the exit we heard pretty peaceful music playing. It was a very, very fun day. :)

I can't think of anything else important but that was the good stuff :)

Confronting your fears! =)

Unfortunately this is something I'm not ultimately good at. I have more the tendency to shreak and run the opposite direction like the coward I am =P. But even so I realise that there are some things in life that are just better left delt with. One of my greatest fears is of loneliness, I'm sure there is no one who wants to be lonely but it's not just fear of never meeting the illusive "right one" either. I have never been so lonely that I ponder if I will die alone(thank God) but even so loneliness can drive people to do many stupid things in life. It causes the mind to wander places that it shouldn't. This is why I refuse to be lonely. I have amazing friends and an even better family, and though on occasion I may wish for more than friends and family(hasn't happened yet), if I remember that my friends and family can be there for me just as much as anyone else, than I have nothing to wish for because I have it already. I do want to one day find my "special someone" but I refuse to get desperate and I refuse to settle for less than what God has planned for me. I trust God enough that if he wants me to meet someone special than he will place that person in my life(if he hasn't already) but I will live my life happily whether with my friends and family or with them plus "the right one". :)
