I can't stop thinking about the children and people that are suffering in Africa. My heart hurts so much. I didn't know I could feel so much pain that isn't even mine. I want to do so much, but I don't even know where to start. I want to tell everyone. I want everyone to care. I so badly want to meet these children and tell them that everything will be all right, even if it won't.

There is an cute, old lady that lives across the street from me, and she likes to leave "treats" for my family on our doorstep that I get when I come home from school. (there are usually sweets and breads, and the occasional bag of potatoes). She thinks my name is Brittany, and about a week ago she yelled from her house to mine "Brittany, what size shoes do you wear?" so I told her.
When I got home from school today, there were two bags at my front door. One of the bags had a note on it addressed to Brittany. Inside, I found 5 pairs of shoes!! :) Old lady shoes are darlin'. So are old ladies.


On another note...I cannot play an F chord :( (on guitar)


I also decided that I am not going to get a summer job. I am going to learn some new instruments (like harmonica, trumpet, possibly accordian, and continue guitar).
Also, I might start getting my freshman/sophomore years of college done at NCC because I got a great scholarship.


(anyone know where that quote is from or who wrote it?!?)

Woot

It looks like Whitney is probably going to Pitchfork Fest :) woot. (if Padres allow it).


It is amazing how much happiness a little bit of nice weather brings. Everyone and everything seems to be so much more alive.

I want to have the same last dream again
The one where I wake up, and I'm alive
Just as the four walls close me within
My eyes are open up with pure sunlight
I'm the first to know, my dearest friends
Even if your hope has burned with time
Anything that's dead shall be regrown
And your vicious pain, your warning sign, you will be fine

Hey ooh, here I am
And here we go, life's waiting to begin

Any type of love, it will be shown
Like every single tree, reach for the sky
If you're going to fall, I'll let you know
That I will pick you up, like you for I
I felt this thing, I can't replace
Where everyone was working for this goal
where all the children left without a trace
Only to come back as pure as gold to recite this all

Tonight, hey ooh, here I am
And here we go, life's waiting to begin

I cannot live, I can't breathe, unless you do this with me

Does anyone have a Nirvana-like plaid shirt that I could borrow for a history presentation? I am not going to wear it...just borrow it.

hmm...I like Easter :)

except for the no Sunday night service deal...I like those.


Does anyone else have school off tomorrow?!? Because I do not want to be bored on my day off.

Displace Me

Is anyone else planning on going to this, because you should think about it.

Technology

I am so sick of it. A couple weeks ago the hardrive on my ipod stopped working, my mouse will only double click (which causes multiple things to be deleted and many other mishaps), my speakers are lame and only work when they feel like it, and files on my external drive are not showing up on my laptop. Not to mention the 2 USB drives on my laptop that cause me to have to plug in and unplug constantly, and the wireless internet constantly needing repair.

I think I need a technology fast...or at least a break from my computer.

Asthma & Allergies

I started running consistently in October. And throughout the past months, I have increased my endurance, my speed, and my strength. Of course all of this was in crisp, clean air. An easy run for me was about 5 or 6 miles a month ago.
Now that the weather has started to heat up, it has become more humid, and pollen is increasing, I am having so much difficulty running. I have trouble running a mile and a half without having at least 1 asthma attack, and feeling like my throat is going to close up. I feel like all of my efforts and hardwork mean nothing and now I have to start from the beginning. It is so frustrating.
Today, my throat felt like it was about half the size as normal, and my lungs seemed to be working very poorly, and my nose was running...so I had to take a break about every mile. I had to push myself harder than ever, and I only ended up running 3 miles.

I hate asthma and allergies.
