Jordan's on his third/technically fourth day of tour. When boredom sets in, I realise that he's my best friend. It's not fun to take a break from being best friends. I honestly don't know how any long distance relationships have ever worked without infidelity involved.
ohhhh I just dont have anything worth saying. I have to get a crown put on my back molar, most likely on a week. A money tree would be nice. Saving up to get Jordan a netbook to take on the road so he can book shows where ever he goes. Also would like a computer myself. Thought about going for an HP, but a few more months of saving could get me a MacBook pro. Oh, to have enough patience! I want to be more understanding. I wish I wasn't raised to be so judgmental, so materialistic. My mum gets to me, gets under my skin sometimes. I want to move out soon so I can practice being an adult. Maybe I should start by getting a full time job. But I don't wanna! Days off are too nice. Flexible schedules are just what I need. Recording soon, I hope. Got an acting gig as an extra for vampire diaries, a CW show that's filming in Decatur, GA and Covington, GA. I expect it to be gruelingly boring. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

my car would not crank today between my real work shift and workshift-to-be (surprise, surprise). sooooo, i sat in the tanning bed salon beside the publix at lake dow and waited for my mum to rescue me. we looked at a jeep off of 81 and then ate thai food. we then came home and i started the car-hunting process.
i found this on the side of 42 at a jiffy lube. it looks freaking awesome.
and there are only 500 of them in the world. and they go superfast.
buuuuuut i dunno. i'm kinda looking for a jeep.
kinda looking as in i may have found the one i'm looking for.
it's a black 2001 jeep grand cherokee with 90K on it.
and in my price range, praise the lord.
so yesh. i would love it. and perhaps i will have the opportunity to love it. for life.
or at least like 4 years.

i think i like this place because i can write down my agenda and not feel ... so... dumb.
i like reminding myself that i have things to do. it's comforting. i used to have no life. now i have an abundant one! praise the lord.
antyways. i thought going to eddie's attic on the 21st of may was to be the only highlight of my spring/summer.
oh but no. it was probably the second best day of my life that i can recollect, but i have a lot that i'm doing. elsewhere.
this weekend is the feist concert at the variety playhouse in little five. sooooooooo excited!
father's day is next sunday, there is sure to be a party at mum's house.
the monday following father's day, [june 18], i'm going to the braves/red sox game at turner field. wayyyyyy excited. we have passes to the 755 club. we as in me, seth, adrienne and brian.
oh i made a new friend! a whole family of friends, actually. seth is my new buddy that i met via hannah parden, his sister is her best friend. and i work with his mum. and his brothers are ... basically, pretty fly. so it's nice to have friendly people that live nearby you! you as in me. i live about 8 miles out of the square on 81. it's a u-haul, but it's lovely! i'm so glad to be there. i mean, right now i'm at my mum's [MY house], but i've been sleeping at hannah's. um... yeah. hannah mueller. the woman that asked me to sing at her wedding. i live with her. we have so much fun. when we're there simultaneously. oh and i asked seth to go to hannah's wedding with me. and he accepted. and we're just friends.
okay so next weekend i'm going to destin with matt ford and family. that will be interesting to the max. and hopefully fun to the max. i want my skin cells to recieve an ample amount of sunrays to make me look halfway decent for my big [third] debut at hannah's wedding.
and after florida is the wedding on the 30th. the rehearsal dinner is the 28th. aaaaaand. yeah. it's basically wham bam thank you pam.
farris's bday party is the third of july. fuuuuuun. can't wait. it's some fancy formal thing. kind of. i can wear a mask if i want.
forward2007 is july 12-15. aaaand i'm taking the whole week off to help with michelle and the ... crew. as well as meet United and Phil Dooley, if i so choose. i mean, if i have time. i'm gonna be swamped. and i really want to pick up shifts at the starbucks in gainesville while i'm up there. i think that would be fun stuff.
so after that. i have nothing. oh wait. matthew bought tickets to a modernskirts/bain mattox/(insert other artists performing here) on july 27. THAT WILL BE a life-changer.
ok so that's it. i'm writing. not very well. it's hard for me to put music to words. but i'm writing. and i wrote a reallllllllllllly cute song about having false pretenses about a relationship. about going into one wanting it to be romantic and then having the boy gently inform you that 'this is not the way that friends are s'posed to be'. and then being content with friendship. i'm putting a violin in it. somewhere. i hope it's spectacular.
oh and i fell in love with a guy that comes in starbucks. his name is ... crap. Noah. and i know what drink he gets. he's adorable. i think he came in with his mom today. heheheheheh.
"how embarassing. my mom came into starbucks."
ahhhhheh. i'm going to dry my hair now. and go to my happy hannah home. i love today. i love its maker.

I. eddie's attic.
A. lyndsey mac strapped a cello to her body and played it guitar style.
1. freaking.
2. amazing.
3. freaking.
B. tin cup prophette looped violin melodies &&harmonies and pizzicatos.
1. i nearly fell out of my chair. for the second time.
2. she came over to the bar to get a drink &i tried to tell her that her looping made me happy, but she didn't hear me. i think she was a bit drunk. she's really fun, though. from the looks of it.
3. she married a freaking amazing man.
C. baine mattox.
1. looks a lot like chris martin.
2. i stared at him all night because of #1.
3. can sing quite well, especially quietly.
4. has a really cute bassist/keyboardist (named michael) : ].
5. basically wants to come to my house &&play a concert for me.
>> i bought his new cd, therefore entering my name into a raffle to win a house concert. winners to be announced march 5th. monday.
6. still looks like chris martin. and it was beautiful.
7. is married to amanda, [TCP] and looked at her sweetly and admirably while they were both on stage and she was talking. it was really cute. made me want to marry a musician.
ok it must be just me and my wild imagination, but every show i go to, i feel like the people on stage look directly at me. all the time. do i just imagine it, and therefore when it happens my mind blows it out of proportion? or do i surround myself by really pretty people, so when i'm in the middle, i feel like they must be looking at me, and not at all at the beautiful people i'm juxtaposed to.
man, it's late. and i loved tonight. and i work tomorrow @ 6. wah wah. it was my fault. oh well, i work at a caffeine oasis. haaaaaha. i love it. tonight was beautiful &&it felt so good outside! i heard baine's voice as we walked out the doors of the attic onto the streets of decatur [ew, that wasn't very poetic! haha.]. i'm gonna sleep pretty well tonight...

i am sitting down, sitting down, watching my seat.
i am tan as a freaking jamaican man... in a cold, sunnless winter.
i'm singing for jothemanchan at a church off of 155.
and i'm so excited about singing for his wedding.
the song is beautiful, and i believe i have found a suitable key.
i'm so nervous though! all of this public confrontation and such.
i almost feel like it's a drain of my personality. i can't tell when i'm
faking a smile or when it's real. it's usually real, but all of this
'it's just business, don't let it get to you,' is about to hit hard.
i'm so tired.
and i get so scared about my insides coming owt
and it makes me nervous to think you'll discover what i'm all about
but i have to look at things again when i'm alone
and see that i can't make it on my own
that's me and relationships. not very confident or sure

i made a sleeping lessons cd for me to fall asleep to.
it's lovely. i listen to it even when i'm not in the mood for sleep. i'm going to see leeland again tonight, in alpharetta.
i'm so happy because of my friend brandon. he plays drums for steve fee, who is opening for leeland, so he's getting me&katie belle in for free!
hook-ups are so beautiful. just like... a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. with crunchy peanut butter.
last night i went to dinner at zapolli's and to great escape to see music&lyrics [cheesy but okay; i mean, c'mon, it's hugh grant] with farris &friends. and it was... great. although i did come down with a fever, it broke overnight. goh, fevers are horrible. my head felt so heavy and i just wanted to be warm, but my body was so hot. it's weird being sick, it's hard to understand what's going on inside myself when i can't see it. if i was God, i would have made humans with transparent skin. how cool?!
i'm cultivating a penchant for relationships. i've heard it will help me learn about myself, which sounds selfish, but a bit inevitable, if i want to notate my development with my relationship with God, i must be assured that i am reflecting Him in my social relationships, thus beckoning me to commence them often. and i love to learn, so this should be fun.
i'm wearing my new shoes--so comfy. forgot i had them on a minute ago.
'what if' has been the beginning of a lot of my thoughts. i have to remind myself that worrying has never added one hour to a man's life.

today was lea's birthday. she said it kinda sucked. my eighteenth birthday did too.
we have matching wallets. so that's another thing that we have in common.
i bought a pair of tennis shoes in order to better equip myself when i run or walk.
they are proving themselves to be in a state of excellence. i do have nasty shin splints, though.
dad says that walking backwards prevents, slash, helps relieve shin splints. not working
so far. danielle wants me to send a cd of mine to ... someone important. in order for them to
listen to it. and think i'm wonderful. and let other people hear me. and pay me to play
more music. therefore inducing myself into a dreaded routine of labor for currency.
what else does life offer? that's basically what it is reduced to. labor [of mind or body]
for currency [money, fame, love, emotion, etc.].
i wish i could say i don't want that.
but would that make me inhuman? would it make me disgustingly humble? i do want it,
i don't deny that. that desire is most likely the drive of my existence. the drive to justify my
usefulness, my deeds, and my earnest efforts. i just can't put my finger on what "that" is,
lately. sure it has many facets, but according to life's seasons. i might have found a new
friend. that lives nearby. that makes me happy; i call her farris. or fna [future nancy of america;
sounds funnnier when you say effin a]. she likes my music. and my self. and i like that.
i'm not good at serious speeches. i should have thought about that when i commenced the
introductory paragraph [?].

after band practice last night, i didn't really want to go home.
home has been pretty boring to me lately. it hasn't been a refuge, like it's connotation would assume it to be.
i stopped at *$ to get a drink, then i went to best buy. i was in the mood for a new cd.
i was actually looking for ben harper's both sides of the gun, in able to hear&learn a song for a wedding.
but it was stinkin 23 dollars. just for one song? no way. i don't like ole ben much, so i didn't think it would be worth it. [twas a double disc]
so yeah. i ended up buying the shins' new cd, wincing the night away. and we are scientists' cd, with love and squalor.
i am thoroughly enjoying them both, i am happy to report.

britany has appointed me to an assignment concerning the iraqi war expenses, based on a cnn video that i cannot find. it's due friday at 8:30 am. great. i'll be in gainesville. so i have to have it done before i leave wednesday morning. hah. i was explaining aggish to ms. karmen, & she said i should be in college. i was like, no kidding. so this is my compensation for lack of an education. selling coffee and taking homework from britany. now i wish i had that laptop that i was planning on getting...
so i was totally 36 minutes late for work. supposed to be there at five. yeah. woke up at 5:17. yeah... i got off around 945 last night and blindly went to gabe's house to hang out and play pingpong with some of his friends. like an idiot. but it was nice. i slathered ryan with defeat at pingpong while the others conversed. and then we had a chill time with God. gabe is very focused when it comes to bible study meetings. overall, he's good at making God the central figure at any rendezvous with people. that's really cool to me. so i left around 1140ish. yikes. and i craaashed when i got home to all of my dirty clothes that were not getting any cleaner because our washing machine is in repair [hopefully. just had to quote john]. woke up at 4am to my alarm. must have gone right back to sleep. it was bad. i was so certain that i would arrive on time, too. it was bad. just... bad. but then. in came the beautiful man that katie, farris and i adore so. much. and i swore to put him in the thankyou credits of my life.
my eyes just want to close but i won't let them. my muscles are so sore but i continue to use them. my thoughts are so empty. and my mum's telling me to clean her house.

hmph. i guess God's trying to say something.
like don't lose your brother's blockbuster card.
hah. ok, just nine dollars. but. it's fun.
lea always tells me about pulling money out of the toilet
and i'm like, man. does that mean i'm super responsible and i don't lose my money [but spend it all instead], or does that mean i'm just missing out on a super exciting part of life? err... something.
but antyways, i gotta go to lovejoy starbucks to pick up some tips.
and then to cbc for the 1130 service.
matt brad brody and tim and ... jochan? are all playing for the two services this morning.
soooo yeah. but i am definitely playing tonight

i'm about to mail in a driver's license renewal with my second official check.
the first was made owt to target. i bought a lovely green grandma sweater.
and i wore it that very night. with a new headband, too. it is just great.
i also called gsc and told them that i was looking forward to a fall
semester with them, and basically they would not get the pleasure
of seeing my face until then. unless i choose to randomly take a hike
on the campus around the lovely lake. i rented superman and high fidelity
last night. and i saw some strange people. one of which was mike cameron.
an outfielder for the san diego padres. lemme do a little research and let
you in on his exact position. born in lagrange, ps. and his bday is in three
days! how bout that. ok, he plays center field. so he lives nearby and i see
him sporadically, like in publix, starbucks drive-thru's, and the like. and now
blockbuster. hmm. he was on his bluetooth, wearing a yankees cap.
so yeah. that made me happy. i called matthew ford and informed him of
my adventures. and theeen. then. i saw a friend from high school that i
had an unhealthy crush on for like two years, justin askew.
ok weird. he looked basically the same, longer hair, very frail looking frame.
and kinda hunched over. but with a cigarette in his mouth. go figure.
he actually said hey to me, otherwise i really would not have seen him.
he asked if i remembered him [dumb question] and i asked if he was
alive. haha. not really. he did look half-dead, though. it was scary ish. but
antyways, that was nice that he recognised me. i thought that he thought
i was a freak. or just a little innocent girl who knows nothing. about being bad.
which is the reason ... never mind. so that was justin. and then i went home
to watch superman and mathu calls. so i chat it up with mathu, he had
had a rough day at work due to inexperienced newbies, so i consoled him.
hah. who can console mathu herring? i mean, seriously. he's a... character.
but yeah. then i watched superman and it was wonderful. except i was
falling asleep, so i chose to pause it and resume this morning. which i did.
and it was still great. he's such a gentleman. i love that about brandon routh's
role. he never seemed very emotional or anything, but he still portrayed his
spirit. i mean, the guy was walking in front of a machine gun, he's pretty
dang tough. ok. yeah, i just talked about a fictitious character for like
seven lines. that's scary. i'm sorry. ashley abney called me this morning
and we confirmed plans to live together [as in i residing with her] in ...
two weeks? not next wednesday, but the wednesday after that.
oh holy crap.
hannah mueller asked me to sing at her freaking wedding.
freaking.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
how.... COOL?! WEIRD?? AMAZING?!? i haven't even told LEA! because she's been at passion freaking.
but yeah. how about that.

twice the amount that a medium cup of tea would
have been. isn't that dumb? [that's what she said]
two medium cups of
tea is roughly the same amount as a whole gallon

how do you spell the words that leeland sings in his sound of melodies song at the end when it's just a combination of l's and i's and d's? i wanted that to be the subject of this entry, but i was stumped as to how on earth to be grammatically correct in spelling and spacing.
so yeah. my car is basically going to die or be miraculously healed. soon. i might have cracked another cylinder head of the engine. another, yes, one was cracked before and i replaced it. rather, i paid my grandaddy to replace it. it's at his house this morning, i watched painfully as he towed it on the back of his truck out of the driveway. and this is one of those moments where i should cry, i NEED to cry, but i don't. i laughed and felt sorry for myself and my car and my family that will be driving me around to necessary locations for the next x amount of days. well, perhaps no crying is needed. i felt the need because i'm a girl, stereotypically very emotional and fragile, and clueless as to the mechanisms of a vehicle.
all i'm aware of is the dire danger that my car could be in, should it need engine replacement, and my first year at college that is at stake. if i have no car, i have no college. because my college is an hour and a half away from me right now, and there is no way that ashley/eric would be able to drive me to school&work. there's just no way. that i'm aware of. God, however, is aware of all things and makes ways for all things that are a part of his humungous and amazingly stupefying plan. so yeah. i'm at a loss. if the car is fixed, i can use bank money for college, go w/o a computer, and be fine. if car is not fixed, i can use bank money for car, not go to college, not have computer, stay in jonesboro for another seven months, and hope with all that i have that i will be competent enough for a fresh start.
ok now i'm crying.
