It is Sunday. I like Sundays. I love getting all pretty and skipping off to church. Even if they DO keep it like 55°F in there. I think their goal is to keep it exactly half the temperature it is outside. *sigh*
But yes.. today is a good one. I went on a bike ride this morning to the duck pond, like I usually do. Well lately there have been these new weird ducks, they're white and have lumpy pink stuff on their beaks like a turkey. But anyway, today they got all protective or something so they come hauling after me growling and chattering and honking and it was so wierd! They run awfully fast too, they followed me across to the overpass even. Demon albino turkey-ducks.
Okay, well, laters.

Moments - Emerson Drive
I can't tell you how many times I have heard this song.. daily practically, with the repetitiveness of country radio.. but this morning I actually listened to the lyrics, for the first time. I started crying.. it hit me pretty hard.

I was coming to the end of a long long walk
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
Under the E. Street Bridge
Followed me on to it
I went out halfway across
With that homeless shadow tagging along
So I dug for some change
Wouldn't need it anyway
He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed
He said, You know, I haven't always been this way

I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like that plane ride coming home from the war
That summer my son was born
And memories like a coat so warm
A cold wind can't get through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments

I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
Wondering if a single soul on Earth
Would care at all
Miss me when I'm gone
That old man just kept hanging around
Lookin' at me, lookin' down
I think he recognized
That look in my eyes
Standing with him there I felt ashamed
I said, You know, I haven't always felt this way

I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like the day I walked away from the wine
For a woman who became my wife
And a love that, when it was right,
Could always see me through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments

I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight
That old man tells his story one more time
He says

I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
When a young man almost ended it
I was right there, wasn't scared a bit
And I helped to pull him through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments

I've had my moments
I've had my moments

Tomorrow.. well, today that is-it is late enough I guess- is my most dreaded day of all the year I think. Fathers day. I hate having to make cards and give hugs and kisses and fake smiles to my dad, my mom's other ex, and Jeff, my mom's boyfriend. The "other ex", John, is somewhat maybe the only one I kind of sort of have some shred of insolent respect for. The other two, I could really care less.
I still grudgingly made all of their cards and got their makeshift gifts together today.

I guess I should probably be a little more thoughtful of Jeff.. after all.. he DID buy me a closet rod today so I could hang up my clothes and all. *sigh*

Well, I'm tired and shifting into one of those emo-like contemplative moods consisting of too much thinking. That means it's time for Bird to put on some nice, depressing music and sleep. It always leaves me with interesting dreams, however.

Well.. summer hasn't brought me too much to post about really. I'm raising 8 baby cockatiels, all which currently vary between 2 and 6 weeks old. They are very noisy, cute, and very much a handful. Have to be fed every two hours *sigh* I haven't had an undisturbed night of rest since the first day of summer.

I went shopping with Leah yesterday. I got a couple new scents and a pair of jeans. We ate at Mongolian BBQ. It was really good, I love eating there!

The day before that I went swimming with demonsheep. Then we went to YW and set up tents just to take them down again. We also got to write another verse to "If the Savior stood beside me." Ours turned out "If the savior really loved me.." lol it was good, everyone took it the right way though instead of the slightly disrespectful and hillarious way we intended.

Well I had better go feed my birds, they are screaming at me. Laters:)

I must apologize for my erratic behavior earlier today. Yes, it was earlier today and not, in fact, the day that it states. I am posting this the fifth. Not the sixth.

Well.. See.. LEah and I bought a pack of red bulls..

And then I had to sit in a computer lab and be quiet and not make too much noise..

So.. there. That is my excuse.

Kingdom of Spikenard, by the way.
All hail king Spikenard!

*BANG*
time: 10:26

mood: *demonic grin*

song: Sophomore Slump or come back of the year - fall out boy

Well... Now that I am here, typing on a computer at dixie college with a keyboard with very very sticky buttons, I am at a loss for words..
so..

How are you all?

Spear any elephants lately?

Hyenas?

Six-toothed walruses?

How do you feel about that? *eyes you conspicuously*

Well...

Make it a lesson unto you.

Smile.

Laugh.

Giggle in their faces.

It makes them worry about you.

*counts off on fingers*

"6, 4, 9, 26, 90"

YUp, they're all here.

Goodnight.

Take our tears and put 'em on ice, 'cause I swear, I'd burn the city down to show you the light.


Time: noon
Mood: alert, disgruntled
Song: I've got all this ringing in my ears and none on my fingers - Fallout Boy



Well.. this summer is going really really slow so far. I have only been out of school not even two weeks and I am so.. lifeless I guess. I'm keeping busy but it's not the same. Oh my gosh, I got SO used to seeing Leah every day and spending hours with her and driving home and doing homework and then going to her house after school and texting her.. and now she barely texts me at all and I haven't seen her in over a week and it's odd. I've been starving for a friend to sit and talk to, I've spent lots of time at Cyndy's, but I don't want to take up too much of her time or anything. Oh well. I wish I could be in St. George. I have so many friends there now, but even if I were to go visit, it would only cause trouble with my mom or sis because they get ornery when they have to drive me places, and I don't get my license until next year -_-'

My brother got braces this morning. I long to tease him, to call him brace-face and give him hell like he did to me, but I know mom would smack me. It's not fair really. He never got in trouble for it.

Well, I need to go practice tons because I'm afraid I'm not going to be ready for tomorrow.

*sigh*




Time: 4

Mood: Lethargically odd.

Music: Losing Control - This Providence

Quote of the day: It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.



Today was vaguely interesting. I wish I could remember it..

*scratches head*

Oh yes. I spent most of my day at Dixie College. The first 45 minutes.. I got online at the computer lab for a while, then I walked to the new music building. I had my viola lesson with Vicki, which lasted for an hour. Then I went into the practice room next door and practiced the concerto I have to perform on Friday for about an hour. Then Vicki came in and said that if I wanted, we could take a few more minutes to add to our lesson.. so.. I spent another hour and a half with her. She is such a sweet and funny person, I love getting to spend so much time with her. Her kids are adorable too :) She has a little 9 month old named Emma and that girl is so spunky. Really cute.

So basically, I got to spend my day with my viola and Vicki. So it was a good day. I'm rather tired now though.

I suck at diets. I thought I'd give the annoying little special K challenge commercials a try.. it lasted, oh, two days maybe? I love food too much to sit and eat cereal all day. It's okay I guess. I'm not overweight or anything, just a bit too much to fit into my favoritest shorts. They are a couple years old though.. maybe I've just grown. I dunno. I have to talk things out before they make sense to me.

Well. Like I said, I am tired. I just got into another fight with both mom and sister, so I think I might just go disappear for a few hours and rest a bit.

Purple skies and wombats.
Do you ever get the feeling that no one really takes you seriously?

That everything you say and do is.. planned, maybe? As if it is set up as a hoax.

I don't know why.. I'm just feeling like that right now. Like I can talk but it is all in fun and lightness. No depth. Even though there really is.

See? I get in these moods and end up finding myself watching the skittles bunny on youtube. Here when I am trying to get across to someone I am serious..

Oh well. Maybe it is not meant to be. Either way, I am here to rattle off more nonsense, as always.

My enter button is sticking when I press it.

Well. Today was a beautiful day. I think. You never really know. One of those days that the sky is purple. You always thought it was blue, but oh, No. It is purple.

*takes break and watches skittles bunny*

*yawns*

Maybe I'll go dig up some anime to watch. I shall sit there with my swedish fish and enjoy a wonderfully pleasant night with the roaches. We still need to have them sprayed.

Well. On a bright note, I am free of the sick-bug all but a cough. It makes me happy. I think..

Well, I think I am going to go try to sleep. Daddy is coming tomorrow *twitch twitch*

You would at least think he'd have it in his heart to come later in the day so I could sleep. The edacious wombat.

On a final note, If you are easily entertained, as I am, go to thesaurus.com and type in "screwball".

And I was trying to prove to you I was serious.. I am. Really. Ugh.. Goodnight.

Well.. I am sick the first week of summer. Great, huh? Well Sunday was my birthday. I got an iPod and 150$ and viola stuff I think I already mentioned but I don't remember. Tomorrow I get my kitty, Sparticus. I am really excited :)
So I am currently taking care of a featherless baby cockatiel that requires me to feed him by hand every hour and a half. Haven't gotten much sleep lately lol.
