a haircut, a check, and some lyrics that move my soul

a couple of things to share:

1. the new mars volta album, the bedlam in goliath is rocking my world.
"never heard a man speak like this man before,
never heard a man speak like this man before,
all the days of my life, every since i've been born,
never heard a man speak like this man before."
props to adam for reminding me that this band exists.

2. i have a trendy new haircut. i don't have a camera though, so you can't see it.

3. tommorow is my first day of work, as well as my birthday...party on.

4. i like this new church i'm going to. they really love Jesus and love people. newsong fellowship is a rare jewel among a wasteland of churches these days.

5. i got a big refund from our lovely government today....although, if ron paul was president, we wouldn't have to pay income tax at all. i really love that man.

6. i learned to play the sweet riff from mewithoutYou's "tie me up! untie me!". it's my favorite thing in life right now. "i was swimming through the waves for what must have been days! but could find no relief. then i started sinking down, i thought for certain i would drown, until i saw you in the ocean, underneath. all the bright colored fish tell of a treasure in a dull shell. such subtlety so easily missed. You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love and i'm the living example, of 100% the opposite of this!"

7. is numbering things stupid?

coffee and other potential beverages

well. i'm already missing my friends. make me cry a river.

i just talked to krista, so i have all my knitting girls on the brain. be sure to check out their blogs to view their fabulous knitting creations.

also i got to have some coffee with my ashley friend today! here is a pic of her beautiful face that i stole from her facebook...creepy, i know, whatev. i am so happy she's going to grad school in millersville this summer! woohoo.

in other news...i'm officially on the schedule to work at dutch wonderland. when's my first day you ask...well, it's none other than may 28th, a.k.a. my 21st birthday. i don't mind though, you do what ya gotta do to get the dough. i've heard of a gummi bear martini, this i gotta try...lemme know if anyone has any first alcoholic drink suggestions.

lastly, i have to tell you all that report cards came out. 3 B+'s. are you serious. someone give me an A! please! i'm at my wits end. but i got an A in counseling, so i have good career prospects.

well...til some other time.

and so summer begins

well. here is the beginning of what could be a blog that becomes a great collection of my thoughts or something that will be neglected by me starting tomorrow. i figure since my friends are starting to disperse across oceans and continents and state lines, i could make an attempt to keep anyone who cares up to date. plus i've heard that blogs can be rather cathartic. in case anyone is wondering the title to my blog (here it goes...) is not at all even remotely creative. the reason i used it is mostly because i'm listening to jimmy eat world's new album "chase this light" specifically the song entitled "here it goes". i thought it could apply here. the name of said blog is subject to change at any moment. you've received fair warning, i hope you aren't already too attached.

i'm starting off the summer unpacking a ridiculous amount of things. my first summer resolution is this: get rid of all superfluous crap. and i have a lot of superfluous crap. i really must eliminate it. the stuff consists of mostly books and clothes. the books i need to get rid of mostly because of i've decided it is stupid to hold onto books that i have already read. sell 'em or give 'em away. its my new mantra. like it? it's not that catchy. my clothes are a beast that hides behind the door of my closet and my books are a beast that is enveloping my room. i'm done with this crap infringing on my life. anyway, with the help of my new ebay account and the salvation army down the street, the dragons should be slain in no time. woohoo!

sorry, it's my first blog. have some mercy.
