They're running out like the French!

So everyone wants to hang out before I leave, and they all want to hang out at the same time... choose a different day, people... but do it soon cause my days in this country are numbered (11)!

I can't hang out this Wednesday (24), Friday (26), Saturday (27), Sunday (28), next Monday (29), Tuesday (30), Thursday (1), or Friday (2)... and obviously not saturday the third as I am leaving that day.

13 Days.

It's like waiting for Christmas.

What the?!

This really pisses me off.. not that Dumbledore was gay... but that she waited this long to say anything. It changes a lot about how I would have viewed/interpreted the last book.

16 Days.

I'm going to England.
I'm counting down.
I'm so excited.
I'm gonna miss my friends.
I'm gonna miss my family.
I'm going to England.

You'd think

...that by now I would know how to think before speaking.

Nope. Not really.

Well...

Huh.

Juvenile Delinquent Finch

Facebook graffiti is starting to own my life... and this is how I know that I have waaay too much time on my little idle hands.

The visa app. is in the mail. I find myself not wanting to talk about it. In fact, it makes me so nervous I don't know if I feel like throwing up or crying. Well... come Friday October 19, I should know... so don't ask until then unless you want my tears and/or lunch on your shirt.

I'm pretty confident, but at the same time, I can think of a million things I should have said, done, or not done since that package left my care. I'm gonna try not to think about it... but who am I kidding? I'm a worrier!

Snowden. Check 'em out. I like "Anti Anti," "Black Eyes," and "Between the Rent." They are definitely worth taking a listen.

Dear little boy in my house right now,

I am so sorry your mother somehow tricked you into coming to my house to sit around with a bunch of old ladies eating tacos that talk loudly. I know what it's like to be told something's going to be fun, only to find that gouging your eyes out is more entertaining. I was tricked a lot as a little child; I feel your pain.

Sincerely,
Weird girl who said hello in the kitchen.

On a different note...

Sometimes I cannot wait.
And sometimes I do not want to go at all.
I'm gonna miss a lot.
Either way.
I'm gonna miss a lot.

I love this band so much.
I can't get enough.

I know.

I know I said I knew a lot of things are gonna be hard in life.
Now I really know.

I was talking to Amy Haywood tonight and she told me she was currently learning that instead of searching for God's will, search for God himself because it's God who reveals his will, not us uncovering it. And how am I supposed to let God reveal something to me when I'm not even paying any attention to him.

And I'm just so impatient. I want everything in my life to just snap to and happen right away. Then I remember I'm only eighteen and I have all my life to struggle and to grow.

And I honestly don't want to work at Bed Bath & Beyond.


Two years ago this month, I was on a journey that I would have never expected to happen. I never thought I would ever leave the country, and there I was going to freaking England. It's hard to believe it's been so long. And this is the point where it actually stings my heart to know that I may not be going again. I mean, I know I miss it, but this is the point where it actually hits me that I'm not there... For the past two years this is the time that I'm counting down the days and the hours until my flight leaves making very last minute preparations... but I don't have a flight to count down to anymore. And it kinda sucks.

Micah is Twenty!

Congratulations on becoming an old man!


I stole that last picture from claire...

Augusta was fun. Nothing extremely eventful happened. The car rides were more than enjoyable. Sarah and Curtis are a couple of my most favorite people. Went to the lake on Saturday and that was good. I like some swimming and I got a tiny tan! Other than that we just chilled and watched some movies. Left Sunday after lunch.

Today... well I suppose technically yesterday... was Micah's birthday. We all went to the Old Spaghetti factory... pictures to come later.
