Alright, so I didn’t start the ABCs yet. I decided to wait until the school year started. Here’s a Meme to hold you over.

Ten Things I Wish I Could Say to Ten Different People Right Now:

1. You have inspired me so many times, and you don’t even know it. You just moved way to far away. However, you’re a huge part of the reason I am who I am.

2. Look what you’re doing to yourself.   

3. I’m proud of you. Some things have made me question you in the past, but now I can see you’re only being as genuine as you know how. Never afraid to speak your mind. I’m you’re one of the only people I don’t have to leave this year.

4. I just hope that you made your decision for the right reasons. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

5. You’re drifting away, and that makes me sad. I don’t understand you. I thought I did for a while, but I’m afraid you may have lied to me. And thinking that kills me.

6. You’ve been one of the greatest brothers anyone could ask for. You’re there when I need advice, you’ve stuck up for me when I needed help, and you keep after me when you shouldn’t have to. Thank you.

7. You are the most jealous person I have ever met. It’s not a bad thing, but you let it get to you at all the wrong times. You think that it doesn’t show, but some of the things you say that you expect to be funny are little hurtful, if only because they are born out of jealousy. However, you are one of the first people I go to for advise, and one of the most practically wise people I know. I’m glad to call you one of my best friends.

8. Your self-pity and jealousy has taken you to the point of being extremely self-centered. One day you’re going to have to realize that you had it REALLY good, and that you aren’t going to get everything handed to you your whole life. I hope it doesn’t end any friendships along the way. Because it shouldn’t have to.

9. You’re no better than anyone else around here. Stop trying to be over-spiritual and insightful all the time. Take a break and be human. It just makes you look stuck-up. 

10. I miss you more than there are words in the dictionary to say. I’m absolutely crazy about you, and it kills me that we’re so far apart. Only eight days left, however. We conquered the summer when so many others failed. I can’t wait to spend the year with you only a few hundred feet away from me. <3

Nine Things About Myself:

1. I’m pretty simple. It’s everything else that’s complicated.

2. I secretly play RuneScape, and I probably shouldn’t. It wastes a lot of time.  

3. I’ve spent years making fun of the cheesy things couples do, and I now find myself doing them. Ha.

4. I’ve lost 30 pounds in the last six months, but if the scale didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t believe I’d lost a pound.

5. I will probably never be able to play the guitar the way I could once, due to the faulty diagnosis of my broken finger.

6. My grades are a lot lower than I think they should be, causing me to constantly second-guess whether I deserve to be in college.

7. I don’t care how much you all want to complain about “supporting the musicians”, I’ll download all the music I want. The only musicians who actually need my money are the ones that you can’t find online anyway. I’ll gladly buy an album at a free show. Providing you don’t suck.

8. I’m generally very easy-going and like to go with the flow. Sometimes, however, I get so frustrated with people that I don’t know what to do. It tends to be around the same time that I lose confidence in them.

9. I love the hours after everyone goes to bed. Where it’s just me and my music, using my computer or even just laying here. I know I’m not going to get interrupted, and I can settle down and think about things, or talk to someone online for a while, or write something. All without having everything going on around me.

Eight Ways to Win My Heart:

1. Don’t worry.

2. Realize I’m gonna say stupid stuff. I can’t help it.  

3. Reassure me.

4. Smile.

5. Don’t put yourself above anyone.

6. Sing to me.

7. Have some self-respect.

8. Give me a shoulder massage– Without tickling me.

Seven Things That Cross My Mind a Lot:

2. Will I be able to pay for school?  

3. Why do I stay up this late?

4. Summer is WAY too long.

5. This is totally not good for me… But it’s SO good.

6. Man… She’s beautiful.

7. I need to work out more.

Six Things I Do Before I fall asleep:

1. Brush my teeths.

2. Check my Facebook.  

3. Plug my computer into my stereo so it will blast at ungodly volumes to wake me up.

An Idea.

So. I was reading a Facebook note written by Bennett Briles a little while ago, and I had this idea. It’s sort of on the same track as what he’s going to do, only perhaps a bit more extensive. Now, I’m making no promises about blogging every single day or anything. I know with my school schedule, there’s no way that that is possible. However, my idea is to base twenty-six posts off of the letters in the alphabet. This may sound dumb, however with my lack of motivation to post recently, I suggested to myself that this may prod me to post a bit more than I have recently. Each post will be about something going on with me at the current moment, but will most likely be about a subject that starts with the letter that I’m on at the time. I don’t know how dumb this may sound, really. I just think it will help me get back into the weblog spirit. Thanks all. If I don’t post for a few days in between, and you actually care, remind me! Maybe give me a suggestion on what to make my next subject. Because odds are, the most difficult part will be deciding the subject. Ha.

Well, back to school in 12 days! I’m so pumped!

Oh, life.

It’s a pleasant evening. I’m just sitting here playing my guitar off and on, and talking to my Lovely Lady. At the moment, however, my favorite song is playing on the stereo next to my bed. The clock says 12:34, and I have my green guitar pick sticking out of my mouth. I’m not sure how sanitary that is, but it’s a habit. Sorry. Everyone has gone to bed except for Nana, who is so very kindly doing my laundry for me, being as that I untidily forgot to do it earlier in the day.

Tomorrow, I am to take everyone to church, for my mother is not feeling well. I’ll probably sit through an uninteresting Rob Bell video, leave sunday school early, and get set up to play guitar in third service. Good times.

On Thursday, Tim and I are driving out to central Ohio to see our respective ladyfriends, and to attend Andy and Tara’s wedding. They’ve asked me to sing during the pre-ceremony, so I will be performing Lost In The Moment by Big & Rich. Pray I don’t suck quite terribly. Then Tim is going home by himself. I’m staying out there an extra week (not that I mind) and then singing in a choir concert on the 8th of August in Canton, OH. Ya’ll should come see us. Ha.

At the moment, however, I’m going to go back to playing my delicious guitar, after taking a CD up to my grandmother. Yes, Nana asked me to make her a CD. Who knew?

I think it’s almost time.

So I started last night. Six weeks with a splint on my right hand little finger. It’s like a permanent dull pain. I can’t type right, my basketball shot has to be adjusted, I can’t swing a softball bat, and I keep catching it on my guitar strings. I haven’t tried doing anything involving grabbing anything yet… Ugh.

Seventeen days until ohio. I get to be in Andy and Tara’s wedding, and then hang out with Cassi for a week or so. I’m excited. I have to make a bunch of money in those 17 days though. I think I’m only gonna spend money on The Dark Knight. Because, I mean, how do you miss that? I’m sure you understand.

I broke a string at the end of service today. I caught my splint on it. My brand new guitar, first broken string. My guitar is no longer a broken string virgin. At five days. Seems like they’re doing it younger every time. Ha.

I just want the summer to be over.

Oh, youtube.

Why spend I so much time on thee?

Oh yeah. That’s why. I had forgotten. Holy cow.

What.
