Do You Have…?

I’m on the look out for Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 games. Joshua and I decided to finally hook my old gaming systems up and now we’re interested in getting more games (especiallyN64 games). Let me know if you have any for sale/giveaways.

Birthday Thank You

I had a great birthday week/day. I wanted to thank everyone who came out to Thai Cafe/Broadripple: Kayleigh, Shannon, Suzi, Shawn, Ian, Alex, gRegor, Dale, Jeremiah (and to Kyndall for her birthday wishes), Dan (and to Lauren for her hugs and wishes) and Joshua. It was yummy and a lot of fun. You made me feel very very special. Thanks for the homemade cards and the gifts. I hope you all had as much fun as I did. Also thank you to everyone who sent me a text/called/wrote on my Facebook wall (Joshua read them to me).

Also, thank you to Joshua, who made finding all my gifts fun and who spoiled me rotten (as always). You’re the best gift I have.

I thought it’d be fun to post the someecards I was sent (I think this is all of them).

First from Sarah,

Sometimes…

You just need someone to be a little bit more patient.
To hold you a little bit longer.
To kiss you a little bit stronger.
and to, with their whole heart, love you even when you forget how to smile.

Thank you, Joshua.

Oldie & a goody.

I found this photo of Kayleigh and I in an old email. It is wonderful.

7-24-02 My New School

“My New School”    By Gram, For Isha

I’m going to be a freshman.
How much will that cost?
And that big building!
I just know I’ll get lost.

All these eight years past me.
Four more to go.
Now for good ole BHS South.
What will happen? Well, I know

I’ll do the best I can
And do all my homework too.
Study, study, study
What more can I do?

I’ll be good in all my classes,
good to all the teachers too.
Be good to all my classmates
That’s what I can do.

I’ll make my Mother proud of me.
You can bet on that.
Then pretty soon,
I’ll wear my graduation cap.

-Patrica G. Lucas

For me, as I entered high school.

Today.

I’ve been so stressed out and hopeless. I’m tired and worn down. Words of encouragement are just fluff. I need a break. The past two weeks have had so much turmoil, I lack sleep and the want to even eat. I feel like a burden on other people with my stressed emotions and how they make me react to situations or just my daily mood being a downer. My load feels so heavy.

I keep listening to this song by the Editors, No Sound But the Wind. It’s calming and takes me away a bit.

I’ll help you carry the load
I’ll carry you in my arms
The kiss of the snow
The crescent moon above us
Our blood is cold
And we’re alone
But I’m alone with you

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder

Edit: I’m feeling much better now. It was just a stressful day and I couldn’t see any lights at the end.

Song of the Day

Leave Out All the Rest-Linkin Park

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
