The link I have on Snapvine (voice blog whateverz site) is in the link of the title. Click it, AND DON'T LISTEN TO ME SINGING!!!! BECAUSE I SERIOUSLY SUCK RIGHT NOW! I'm going to re-record me singing and maybe edit it on here later.
Anyway, HIIIIII! I'm really sorry I haven't updated in forever!
If you've recentely read Leah's blog, about the Remedy Drive and Children 18:3 concert, you should. It's a pretty sufficient summary of that AWESOME concert! XD Also, I touched Dave's sweaty arm... heheheheh. Leah and I are going to be decidedly groupie-ish/fangirl-y of Remedy Drive now. XD No offense to Nattie. I love Nathaniel. :)
Well... IT IS SUMMER! I got out on Friday, June 5th, which was a day of pretty much nothing academically related except for the eighth grade graduation, which was hardly anything like that. XD It was AWESOME though. The teachers are HILARIOUS; they filmed skits of how they would remember us eighth graders, and it was loaded with inside jokes, but it was so funny. I suppose I like my small-town school for that. We can all make fun of each other, and just have it be... fun. And everyone can be close enough to their teachers, you know? It's pretty cool. :)
Like I said, I'll be gone this Thursday-Monday. June 11th through June 14. Ella (mymindisagraveyard-deadthingsareinit.blogspot.com) will also be gone then. :) It's gonna be pretty awesome. XD The girl's cabin trip with my youth-y group-y stuffs. :3 :D
Hopefully, it won't be so cold and wet then so we can enjoy our time on the lake and everything. :D I enjoy life. XD :)
Anyway, it's been pretty good lately. Just giving ya'll a little update. I might be posting some fiction/poetry sometime soon. :) Also, I'd like to advise you to visit this blog:
http://thisdreamthing.blogspot.com/
It's Ella's new blog. I know alllll about her dream, so it's safe to say: GOOD DREAM, GOOD STORY, YOU MUST READ IT. :D :)
Anyway, thanks for reading guys! Love you all! God bless! :)

(Anyway, I gave up on singing Say When by The Fray. Here's me sucking again.

Strawberry Swing by Coldplay. Yeah... it sounds like I have a cold or something like that... xP *sigh* Oh well. Maybe you can find the good in this singing suckiness, because I can't. xP I'm probably going to keep singing on my Snapvine today, though... maybe I'll get better with some 'practice'. Love you all again! God bless! :) )

THIRD! Sorry about that. Intro/Prologue-like-item to my story.
Author's Note:Inspired by Leah, I will put up this preface. The story itself may suck, but I kind of like my preface. I might try to summarize it later. It would be nice if someone who is more adult than me can tell me what it's like to be an adult.
“Change”
It’s amazing how much life can change in however many years we’ve been existent. There are a lot of things associated with that. At 20-some odd years, people will still call you young, yet you have lived through over two decades, and so many things can change in those over two decades. I mean, so many things can change in just one year. Or even a month.
A week.
A day. An hour.
A minute.
A second.
Lots of things happen that change us. Although it may be our choice to how we react to those changes, things will happen that will ultimately change us.
For better, or for worse.
People might hurt us; that may make us feel confused or angry or depressed. People might compliment us and bring up our confidence. Or, people will tell us something, and that might get us thinking, that might get us doubting, or assist us in finding something that we might have been looking for. Or make us face something we’d been fighting, or running from.
Changes can’t just be based on circumstances we can’t help. Changes can be from our own choices. How we react to circumstances beyond our control, changes us. What we choose, impacts our lives. Whether big or small, it just may change our life.
Whether a change will be good or bad is based on our own choices. Right or wrong, good or bad, internal or external.
AN: What do you guys think? Just let me know. It's super vague, but here's the story:
There's Ben Errickson, resident dreamer and optimist, Christian, and Marriage Counselor intern, with high hopes for the future and the future of his career. He'd gone through a lot, with his parents' divorce, and his sister's former teenage pregnancy. Now grown up, at around 26, his sister having such a ridiculous success in life with child and husband, as well as his parents' successful remarriages, and really hoping with God in his heart and thoughts, he wants to make things happen for other couples. He wants to work in the field to heal couples, but is well aware of how relationships can fail, and has learned to accept it, as difficult as it is. He is far in his progress from adolescence and those days. And has a strange attraction toward a girl in the workplace, that interests him out of the mystery of her problems and outwardly coarse attitude.
Erin is harder to explain. I still haven't figured her out entirely.
Erin Martensen has a counseling job that has something to do with girls who put themselves in compromising or dangerous situations or used to be in them. Though the job is serious, and the girls are sensitive, she is constantly, loudly, encouraging them to just live for themselves and do what they think is right and get out of whatever bad situation they're in. And not to mention, blames the guys entirely who often give them the problems in her perspective. She almost seems out to get the entire male population at times. She is not at all conventional with this, and is sometimes too loud to listen. She believes that no one should have control over anyone else. She comes on too strong, and acts like she's strong, and seems to not "take crap". And she doesn't let too many people in. But no one at the Center they work at really knows her that well. At one point, she was just like the girls in the groups she watches over, but after feeling guilt and pain and fear, she built up a shell of sarcasm and control and bitterness that she doesn't like to admit she has. And underneath it, she blames the person from her past, and curses herself for never standing up, making it her goal to make sure as many people as possible never have to reach that position again. Ben annoys the crud out of her, but only over time will she soften and open up again, through him at first.
Too cheesy/cliche/unrealistic/stupid/weird/sexist (ha)/dumb/strange/etc.? Let me know. Really. I want as much critque as possible on this because I want to be accurate. Or at least to a point. I know it's my story, but I've gotta write for readers, not just myself.

not-yet-titled Story 'Introduction' to the Characters
AN (Author's Note): I decided that I would write a story based on events that occured between now and January... related to a certain guy I 'went out with' for nearly 6 months. Nothing absolutely horrible occured between us, nothing absolutely incredibly amazing, and nothing all too dull either. This is only BASED on the situation, though... eh, I'm the author, I have the creative liscense to do whatever I want with it. Yet, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stick to mostly 'facts'...
Main Characters
*names have been changed; and are subject to change again...
Kimberlee (Kim, Kimi, etc.)- Main protagonist; goes to a youth retreat, comes home with a boyfriend. She lives in a town near the church, and attends school in her 4000 poplation town, with a k-12 school.
Rose- Kim's best friend who attends the trip with her and is totally amazing. She is insightful, brilliant, and is somewhat obsessed with vampires. She goes to Kim's church, and goes to a school in that city.
Jared- A boy from school Kim used to 'go out with'; one of her closest guy friends. His feelings for Kim haven't changed much since they 'broke up'
Marcus (Mark)- 'Hot emo guy', was the name Rose and Kim once gave him, back when he was just some kid who was a year older than them that went to their church, and Rose's school, was rather quiet, and had awesome hair. Weelll... until Kim went out with him that is.
Kristen (Kris)- Another one of Kim's close friends who goes to Rose's school. A bit of a tomboy and would rather like to avoid guys, due to her having 3 brothers, one 2 years younger than her, one a sophomore in high school, one a freshman in college who visits occasionally. Has a 'deep hatred' for a guy named Larson at her school... mwahaha.
Marsella (Ella)- Another good friend of Kim's who goes to the school of Kris, Mark, and Rose. Once a self-proclaimed 'emo without the cutting', whom still quite enjoys Hot Topic and disliking preps highly. She love writing and reading fanfiction and listening to music. (Kim and Kris introduced her to Linkin Park... once into that, you can't get out. ) Despite the fact that Kris is Ella's best friend... she is currently crushing on Larson.
