  • "This is my life/ It's not what it was before/ All these feelings I've shared/ And these dreams/ That I'd never lived before/ Somebody shake me 'cause I/ I must be sleeping
    "Now that we're here, it's so far away/ All the struggle we thought was all in vain/ They all finally start to go away/ Now that we're here, it's so far away/ And I feel like I can face the day/ I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed/ To be the person I am today . . .

    I was listening to that song (by Staind) on the way home from the Stake Beach Party. Now I'm sitting here in the basement listening to the Zone because they're promised me over the last hour that Nickleback's "someday" was coming up . . . There! Finally
    "How . . .'d we wind up like this?/ Why weren't we able to see the signs that we missed?/ Try to turn the tables. . . Lately, there's been too much of this./ Don't think it's too late.
    "Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that Someday I will
    "Someday, some how I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now. I know you're wondering when. You're the only one who knows that/Someday, some how I'm gonna make it alright, but not right now. I know you're wondering when.
    "I hoped that since we're here anyway, we can end up saying things we've always needed to say. [*sigh*]
    So we can end up staying./ Now the story's played out like this, just like a paperback novel./ Let's rewrite an ending that fits,/ instead of a Hollywood horror.
    "Nothin's wrong just as long as you/ know that Someday I will..."

    Anyway . . . my family left around 6:45 this morning to see the air and water show on a private beach . . . I stayed home to work on AP. I tried to find directions to the Beach Party, it wasn't going so well, so at like 1:15 I decided just to anyway and hope I eventually found it. I found it at like 2:10. The party was definately over at 3. I definately wasted my time going so far west for less than an hour. I was kicking myself the whole way home for not listening to those who tried to tell me *cough Heather-Dana-Megan*

    FRIDAY Aug 15, 2003

    I had some people over from Church . . . it was a lot of fun . . .

    I was surprised to see Andy show up at 6:25- in more ways than one. Considering when I asked him if he was coming or not he said, "it's possible" "it is 3 days before I leave" and "I will at least try to stop by." So when he was the first one here I was surprised. 'Course, it helped that he came in through the back door, jumped on me when my back was turned, and scared me half to death . . .

    Eventually everyone else came. I had fun eating pizza on animal plates, hacking into my dad's computer, listening to music, talking with Heather and Andy and (wait, I'm not going to list the people I talked to because that would be rambling), and watching Charade, and watching JP and Adam break my sister's toys . . . etc. Everything went well, except when I was attacked several times and tickled to death. Well, that's pretty much it . . . lemme know if I forgot anything.
