I’m sure I’ve said is before, but when I was a kid I wanted to be a pirate when I grew up. These guys are my new heroes.

This is not a test…this is a bulletain…yada yada yada.
My sister’s web journal has a place to say what CD you are listening to, and has a little picture. I feel left out!
Well, I can’t manage the picture, but this message is to inform you that I am listening to The Shins. Yay. That’s all.

I am probably the most indecisive person I know. (I say probably because I can’t decide…there are a few who might be more indecisive than me!!!) This is because it is part of my personality that I can see all sides of an issue. It is very easy for my to empathise with people and […]

Torn!
Torn!
All is torn
How can I continue on
With my thoughts and tears
Littered like beer cans
and toys on the lawn?
You are gone
The suitcase clicked
The baby cried
The screen door creaked
The baby cried
The car door slammed
The baby cried
The engine revved off down the street
The baby cried
And I
I crumpled up inside
My heart tore in two
And exploded like a bag of […]

“Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13:8

For a friend.
Ashes
Ashes surround me
On the ground
I’ve found among them
A broken me
A shadow of me
I didn’t know existed
Paler and thinner
Than I remember
Thanks to you
who take revenge in lieu
of love.
My soul an icy blue
I’ve played the fool
Can’t you forgive
Let our love live
I haven’t killed it—
No.
That took you.
I merely hurt it for […]

Today my best friend from the 2nd grade got married. It is so cool to have friends for that long. She’s my oldest friend; summer before the second grade my family moved here from NY, and she is the first person I met, the first day of class, the first day at a new school […]

I like roads.
low roads
high roads
sunny roads
rainy roads
roads through the woods
roads along the sea
byways
highways
parkways
dirt roads
gravel roads
winding roads
roads in Kansas—as straight and flat as everything else in Kansas
roads bordered by texas blue bonnets and cacti
roads bordered by pine trees
roads with a stone wall running alongside
roads with covered bridges
back roads
main roads
roads with stoplights on a rainy day
alleys
turnpikes
dead-ends
one-ways
roundabouts
roads that […]

Yeah so I’m officially in love with the Shins. Yep. Their music is so groovy. Check it out next time you’re at Rohs St. Cafe…I’m sure if you asked nicely enough Les or Jenny would let you have a listen.

I’ve discovered the best way in the world to write a paper: sitting at the Wentzs’ house, with the boys asleep upstairs, eating a bowl of ice cream as I type, with the soft and reassuring drone of Shannon talking on the phone in the living room. It makes me feel very safe and sane, […]

Jackie received an offer of admission to the Virginia Millitary Institute and has now officially accepted it. She wants to go into the Marines when she graduates. I am very proud of her. I am very worried for her. Craziness!
My sweet sister
A little girl
My little sister
Wants to save the world
My younger sister
I’ve watched her grow
She’s […]
