English Hippies

Hello. It has been a while; two weeks. My apologies for not writing last week. I was feeling fastidiously lazy if I remember correctly. It had been a very long week. As has this one. I do not remember much about these past two weeks. Just that I got to be the first student to put a picture on the yearbook at my school. I was pretty happy about it. I also made a time sequence photo of one of the boys in my flight on his bike. It took me hours to figure out photo shop, but it looks pretty cool I think. (I cannot show you because it is in the yearbook.)  Yesterday I got in a fight with my friend. I don't know when he will speak to me again to be honest, so it looks like I will have to make some changes to my schedule. We usually eat breakfast and lunch together, walk to fifth period together and do science together. But now he is angry at me so I guess I'll eat breakfast alone or with someone else, lunch with Cowboy and Courtney, walk to fifth alone or with someone else, and do science work by myself. Cowboy says that he will come around eventually. Colonel says that there is something bigger going on. (My friend blew up at me for something small. He says he hates me though so yeah.) It hurts a lot to be hated by someone you care about, so let's not mention this to me in person. My friends Amanda, Cowboy and Courtney are good though. They love me even though I'm "random" and "weird" and "a nerd" and "lame" etc. Just thinking about t makes me chilly. Colonel loves me too. And the boy's soccer coach, who earlier yesterday offered me a job on the team. (Actually, it was the job my friend has so yeah...we might be working together. Awkies.)
In English we had a Socratic Seminar. It was like...a hippy convention. It was silly but you know what? I needed the distraction. The whole class sat in a circle and discussed Martin Luther King's letter from Birmingham jail. We read between the lines and honestly I felt really silly. MLK alluded to Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego though so I had the opportunity to tell their story to the entire class. A boy named Josiah told the story with me and I was like, OMG YOU KNOW THE STORY TOO! YOU'RE AMAZING.
I didn't say that verbally but my eyes and smile might have expressed that sentiment. I do not know much about Josiah. He hangs out with the pacifist in the class, he talks super smart sometimes and he has a verse from Job on the back of his letterman jacket. Sometimes he watches me from across the room. I don't know why. I'm afraid to talk to him  because when I see him, I see a boy who used to be my friend but was a jerk and that ended badly...(Totally different person; similar faces though.) Also t seems like when I make friends I end up meeting people that are just broken and they end up hurting me because they have issues. I don't know if I end up with broken friends because I look for them, or if they look for me, or if it is Divine Providence or what. But that's what happens. Mom is always like stop making friends with broken people but you can't tell they are broken until it is too late to decide not to be their friend. What's a girl to do? I should write a poem. But I don't know what to write. So I guess I will just post this and be outta here. If you guys have any poem Ideas, let me know and I will try to please you.

First Post/ Finding Inspiration

As This is my first ever blog post, I thought this random writing rather suits the situation.  Enjoy. 😎   Here I sit, trying to find some inspiration for my pen to express on this page.  I close my eyes and let my thoughts sink into the depths of my soul in search of emotion.  All is pitch black, yet I can see; no, feel the dread beasts nearby.  Anger breathes down my neck while Ignorant Joy juggles knives in an effort to comfort Self Conscious who is weeping in the corner.  The more dangerous emotions I prefer to keep locked in steel cages.  To my left, Fear growls and tries to convince me to let him out.   Behind me, red hot Anger still heaves his fiery breath, singeing the hairs on my neck.  To my right, are Love and Trust.  By far the most dangerous of the group, yet also the most inspiring.  Together they conspire over an intense game of cards how they will soon rule the world.  I boldly approach them and twist the key...

Master's Camp 2018

Hey, all. I know that has been quite some time since my last post. I have had a lot going on. Even now, I have a lot going on in my mind. But let me tell you about camp. We went to Master's Camp at Alto Frio, (Which btw means like Cold River or something like that in Spanish.) On the first two days we learned/discussed how God is bigger than our tiny minds can fathom and how He can provide for our every need. Tuesday afternoon the entire camp was told not to use the water. There was something wrong that caused the camp's water pressure to go way down. At first they thought that it was a busted water line, but soon we learned that it was the drought. The wells where the camp got water from were nearly empty. Over 800 campers, no running water. All of the leaders met together to pray, our church group also met together and prayed, along with others. We knew God would provide. (After all, that was what we had been talking about for two days, was it not?) Sure enough, within hours,...

Caroling and Christmas Parties

Hello Humans. That is how I have been greeting people since last week. You would not believe how many offended looks I have gotten. It is pretty hilarious. So you guys remember how excited I was that I was going  to put up Christmas lights with my friend on Saturday? Well it rained the night before, so we didn't do that. But! Before I get ahead of myself, I did get to go to a play at my school with LTG and his mom and my sister. It was pretty great, the play was fantastic. It was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and my friend-quaintance Daniel Oriano was the main character. I didn't know that he could sing and was left quite impressed.  After that we went home. It was pouring rain. Like so much rain. Saturday came. I went from sleeping to suddenly being awake. Which was fine. I believe that was the night that I had a terrifying dream. I shall relate the first half to you, the second half is just confusing.  It began with me in english class, which is 8th per...
