Hello Lolla

"You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book, or you take a trip, and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. and then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death.”

Here I go, blog stalking again... hellololla.com has some of the most beautiful photographs and quotes, and I just love it.

It's raining here in the valley of the sundress and low rise jeans, and I love it.
But something in me is craving summer...




This summer is going to be especially MADE OF AWESOME.
Because....



And





With a dash of






As if there were words.

Mews!!

1. I'm going to prom! Yays!! I'm going with Jeremy Webb, which should be fun, and in a group with Daniel and Laney [oh, the irony gods...] and Victoria and Jacob Hofeling. It should be awesome. Also, I'm wearing my midnight blue and silver dress... I think it's better that way.


2. SIX MORE WEEKS!!! Five, if you don't count senior trip [which I won't.] So FIVE MORE WEEKS!! But who's counting?

3. I got a new notebook! I filled up my blue one, and the new one is bright green. LOVE!

4. I was called as the Laurel Class President last week... Whoo. But I'm gonna learn to love them if it's the last thing I do.

5. My life is pretty boring... Hence the lack of blogging. I go to school, I go home, I usually hang out with Teannasaurus and Ms. Abel, I develop stupid schoolgirl crushes on people I really shouldn't, I seem to be constantly coming up with talks and insights for church and seminary.

6.I wish you would step back off that ledge, my friend. Stupid codependency flaring up... I just want to save everyone. It sucks. You'd think I would've learned something from Lamb. [LOVED!]

7. Also, this is probably one of my new favorite songs... thanks, Hair!
You belong among the wildflowers, you belong in a boat out at sea, sail away kill off the hours, you belong somewhere you feel free

Be Careful What You Wish For...

Because you just might get it.


Stupid gosh darn Pussycat Dolls got that song stuck in my head, and it won't get out.

Ms. Abel Told Me There Would Be Days Like This...
I just kept thinking it while I sat and listened to sad songs last night... I never thought I'd break out my Dixie Chicks CD again, but... Oops. I didn't just admit that.
But seriously, last night was one of those days that you just want to crawl under the covers and NEVER. COME. OUT.

I'm better now... And I've started waking up early. Weird, huh? But I go to sleep around eight, and I wake up at five, and get to sit and light candles and listen to Julie London [Dax, I adore you for hooking me up] and meditate.
Doesn't get much better than that.

But all in all, I'm going to be much more careful about my wishing from now on...

Hell is having everything you ever wanted.

I Am...

Madly in love with Ireland.
I've also taken nearly five hundred pictures... Of course. What did you expect?
But my favorite this far has been The Cliffs of Moher. They're beautiful beyond description.
Also Galway.
Also Dublin.
Also the beds and breakfasts we've stayed at... Even though they're FREEZING.
Also the people... They are AMAZING! So nice!
More when I get home.
Love you, miss you!
CHEERS!

Wa-Hoo!

I feel so good!
Tea and I went to the pool, and just kinda worked out... It felt so good! I feel way... Impowered? New deal, I'm going to do that forever until I look good enough to wear that swimsuit. [Well, I already do, but still. I like FEELING like I look good enough to wear that.]

Today was, in a word, good.

I'm trying to get all the blogging I can out of my system before I leave [IN EXACTLY ONE DAY AND TWO HOURS!!! WHOO!] because I won't have a computer in Europe. I'm going to miss you all so much!

Gotta go pack.
Whoo!
