It's been a while since I've written. 11 days exactly, meaning I kind of failed my once a week quota, oops. Oh well, better late than never. :)
New things:
So, I am in love with poetry. I think this will help my wish to write a book, but make it something more manageable and something I'm actually good at. Specifically, I am deeply in love with spoken word and slam poetry. I would so perform sometime at a slam, but unfortunately I live in corn land and the nearest slams are in Indy and Chicago. I found that there was a slam in South Bend once but I can't find any details on it. More importantly I feel like I can use my poetry at school, specifically Vespers. I feel like I should try and get on the speaking schedule and use my poetry as a foundation to tell my testimony.
Poets I am fond of- Sierra Demulder, she has two books and my favorite poem is "Werewolf", which if I do speak at Vespers, I will be memorizing this poem for it.
Jeanann Verlee, her stuff is legit, favorite poem "Unsolicited Advice to Adolescent Girls with Crooked Teeth and Pink Hair"
Sarah Kay, she is the cleaner of the two and has been doing this since she was 14, favorite poem "Origin Story" performed with Phil Kaye.
Oh I didn't tell you, I'm a licensed driver now :)
Empathicness wise- I've finally been getting things again of substance. I won't go into details, but it's nice to get things again. It's weird that I'm so used to it now that when I don't get things for a long time, it worries me.
It's Fair week! All of Daniel's projects are in, and he did sooo many...not. He did like 4 lol. He did well on his projects though :)
Unfortunately I was able to go down the tin punch isle and see who got grand champion overall. I was furious. I know it's selfish, but all I wanted was one grand champion in 10 years. That's it just one. I am so upset that the girl who because of politics and her name gets to not only beat me out, but also gets to win again. All I wanted was one, and this girl gets at least two. To top it all off, she's not even that good and all she does is bird pictures. I could of done her project in maybe 6 hours and did it better than her.
On a positive note, Liz is coming to visit tomorrow! :) So excited. And, we got our housing assignments, meaning they accepted all of us as roommates. Bonus, we'll be living with a RA and whoever her roommate is. Two more months and I'll be back at school. Half way there.
Well that's all I have for now. I'll probably do a fair update this week as well.
Today I:
Saw- "Bones" the TV show. I am a fan :)
Heard- Some awesome poetry
Smelled- Rain, oh how I love rain smell
Tasted- Daniel's foods project. Soo good.
Touched- The couch with my face as I pretty much passed out from lack of sleep from last night lol.

Ideas? and updates
Hello blog readers!
I want to thank all of you for reading my blog. Even though I don't know who all reads or what they think of it, I enjoy knowing that people at least care enough to see what's on my mind.
Thanks to you, I have reached over 200 blog views in 16 posts.
So, my loyal readers, what would you like for me to talk about?
I feel really lame just talking to myself, so if you have any input at all, it is more than welcome!
I'll take comments, questions, topics, whatever you've got for me.
You can leave comments on the blog, on my facebook posts, or you can message me on facebook. You could even email me at rachelandrews1992@yahoo.com, if that's easier for you.
Anyways, now to you regular programming :)
So what has happened since we've last spoken?
Well not a whole lot. I've been drawing and painting a lot lately which is nice. Definitely a good time passer. At the moment I'm at the eye doctor's office. I'm most likely blinder than I was but that's nothing new. I'm getting another set of green frames. :)
My dad just got back today from a business trip in Colorado. I'm glad he's home...
Tomorrow is my driving test. I'm excited and nervous. I need my license so this has to go well.
Also, a friend from high school passed away unexpectedly. She was hit by a 70ft dead tree while giving a tour on horseback. It's weird that she's gone. I've lived down the street from them since I moved to this house. We used to ride the bus together to and from school for many several years. It's so sad that so many people have died lately. My graduating class has suffered 3 losses since graduating: Amanda, Linden, and now Chelsea. Proves that life is short. What is amazing is that on Chelsea's facebook wall she had posted about 2 months ago this status: "Life is so precious. Sometimes its easy to forget that. Thank God for everyday you and your family are alive and well. You never know what day will be your last." As soon as I read that I got chills.
Today I:
Saw- the roads in Elkhart while driving
Heard- waiting room music at the eye doctor's.
Smelled- Sharpie smell while coloring
Tasted- Granite City food mmm
Touched- Daniel while we were "wrestling" for the couch. He ended up on top of me. It was a great time :)

This is getting annoying. And a Recap
So lately my body has been doing weird things. For a while I would not be able to sleep for a long time and then wake up quite early. This isn't so bad except that I know I need my sleep to function. It's just one of the lessons I've learned with going to school. Now it feels like I'm never awake. Ok, I love sleep just like the rest of us, but too much all the time is getting me annoyed. I wouldn't complain so much if it didn't involve my memory. The more I sleep the more I seem to forget. I can't remember what's happened the last couple of days very well. I remember Yesterday quite clearly, even though I did sleep from about noon til 4:30. Also included in this mess is the headaches and dizziness. Right now I have one of those headaches you get when you cry too much. The headache makes me want to sleep more to make it go away. The dizziness I can handle. It's not terrible, just a little bit annoying when I have things to do, which doesn't really happen, so we're good lol.
Anyways now to recap my day Yesterday (Since it's the one I can remember lol)
Well, first we got up bright and early to head to the fairgrounds for the rocket launch. Daniel has been building rockets for 6 years now. This year's rocket was really cool and pretty big. I enjoyed hanging out there with my uncle and some of my favorite cousins, chillin' waiting for the rockets to go off. Daniel was in the third set to shoot off. Unfortunately, his rocket's engine blew up into the rocket, causing it to fl up a little bit and come crashing back down in a cloud of black smoke. I renamed said rocket as "Drop it like it's Hot". Daniel was kinda sad that his rocket was crushed where the engine is inside it and if he were to turn it in there would be a lot of work to do. But, when getting his scores back, he decided that it wasn't worth it to turn in. If he were to fix it up, paint it, turn it in, and get 100% on it, because of the flight score, he would only receive a White or a C. So now he's happy because he's not going to have to finish it, but he gets to use the parts for next years rocket. There were quite a few great moments that I enjoyed during that morning.
Then we got out pictures taken for fair passes. Yay...
I proceeded to sleep for several hours on returning home.
Then at 7:00 was the Valleyaires chapter show featuring Instant Classic and Vocal Spectrum. OMG love it :) I always find the chorus part annoying and dull, but I've never been a fan of choruses. Instant classic is fantastic. They are an amazing college quartet and will be amazing as a men's quartet as well. I can't wait to see how they do in Portland at the International competition in a month.
Vocal Spectrum is one of my favorite all time quartets. They do amazing vocal work. They were the winners at International in 2006.
After the show is the afterglow, where we eat "food" and by "food" I mean "food-like substances". The afterglow is cool because the feature quartets are more likely to do competition stuff or they're favorite pieces that they don't do on stage.
After the afterglow is the after-party. This is awesome because you get to see the quartets just hang out and sing tags with the chorus guys. It's like watching your favorite band or singer just chillin with the fans and singing other songs. Or your favorite sports star just hanging out with the fans throwing a ball around. Daniel was sooo excited. It's so good to see him finally singing. For years he wouldn't sing in the car or anything, and now he's excited to get in the barbershop game. He could be awesome and take it really far. He's still so young so he has plenty of opportunity to learn and find a quartet to compete with. I'm proud that he's finally opening up.

Life update and another survey...because I can lol
Last night was fantastic :)
I was working on RemedyLive for my normal time slot. It was kind of slow. I talked to a regular who I always enjoy talking to. But then a newcomer came on. We had one of the deepest and best conversations I've ever had on the site. We have so much in common on a deeper "feelings" level. We talked from about 11:30 until almost 4 in the morning. It was almost creepy how God made the connections for us. God is so funny how He does things lol.
I'm going to go get my license sometime next week I think. Should be interesting, but I think I can handle it. If I would have tried to do this when I was 16 like I should have, I wouldn't have been able to handle it. It's better this way. I'll be able to cart Daniel around this summer to school and to the fair and such. And, I'll have my own car on campus for the fall, which will make working at the church so much easier.
Ok Survey time :)

This one is made up of serious questions only. All answers will be completely honest.
1. Would you shave your head if a family member asked you to because they had cancer?
Hmm. I would for sure think about it. I would no doubt die it pink or something like that. I could also do a very very short haircut. But shaving it would be hard. I've thought about it before though.

3. Did the one person who hurt you most in your life apologize?

5. Are you wasting your time on someone?
Not at the moment, but I have in the past.
6. Explain the last time you threw-up.
Hahahahaha. Good times. Last year at school, I all of a sudden got extremely sick. I had no symptoms all day, then got the chills. I made it back to the room to lay down, but felt the need to rid the contents of my stomach. Luckily my roommate's trash can was right in front of me and had a bag in it. I felt bad though. She threw the trashcan away.
7. Last thing that made you cry.
I cry really easily. Recently it was youtube videos. Before that it was myself.

No. It takes a lot to make me mad. Even then it would take quite a bit more to make me show it.
9. Do you think you'll be married in 10 years?
It's highly possible with the marriage rate at school, but who knows. It's not my plan it's God's plan.
10. How many funerals have you been to in your lifetime?

20. ...Your worst enemy?

21. Do you care if people hate you?
Not really, but I'm sure if someone did it would probably affect me whether I cared or not.

23. Think of a random person, and give them a message here. No names:
Umm. I really miss you. You are a fantastic person and I can't wait to see you again. Hope everything is going well. You are a great friend and have a beautiful heart.

28. Name a moment when you sincerely wanted to die:

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."
Hello blog world,
Today's topic: Names.
I've been thinking a lot about names lately, since my ceremoniously naming my car "Gertrude". Names define people for one reason or another. It seems that there should be more people out there where they're name doesn't suit them because their parents picked it out before they even knew anything about their child's personality. Even still that child's name becomes part of who they are.
I don't take names lightly. People who want to be called a certain name should be called by that name. If they want to go by a nickname or whatever, so be it. My name doesn't have a nickname and I personally hate nicknames given to me. People have called me "Rach" or "Rae" and they just don't work for most people. To me, it's not the nickname itself, it's the person saying it. I'm more likely to tolerate a close friend calling me Rach than for somebody I don't really know. I tend to let my best/close friends call me "Rach". It's faster to type and one less syllable I guess. I could see some of my friends calling me that now. Other than that I don't go by many other nicknames, and there are only a few that I allow. Example, There is only one person in the world I will allow call me "Ray-Ray". My roommate from Freshman year is the sweetest person I know, and somehow her calling me "Ray-Ray" works. Sometimes I can't stand certain people saying my full name let alone a nickname. A previous friend would say my name and I would always cringe. Just the way it sounded coming from her mouth bugged me. I'm pretty sure I even told her to stop saying my name when addressing me once lol. I'm pretty sure part of it was because she would always say it whiny-like and like she was trying to guilt me into something. "Rae" was given to me by a short-lived boyfriend. Although I agreed to let him call me that, I regretted it immediately. Even my friends thought it was strange. There are also some people who go by their full name to one group of people, one nickname to others, and another entirely different nickname to others. I commend these people for being able to remember what their name is at any given moment lol.
I'm also very cautious and aware of spelling. Although my name is common and there aren't an awful amount of spellings, my name has been misspelled a lot. It just makes me very observant of how to spell other people's names and usually after spelling it once or twice, I will always have it memorized. And oddly enough there are people's names in my memory that only come out in my thoughts as full first and last names. Instead of thinking "Oh I wonder what Rachel is up to." it comes out "Oh I wonder what Rachel Andrews is up to."'. Same as when referring to celebrities or internet icons of mine. Anyways...back to spelling lol. I get mad at myself if I spell someone's name wrong, and sometimes embarrassed. I also correct spelling of other people's names when I get the chance.
As for fun nicknames, I've been called Shanequa, Pretzel, and Twisted (Sister). I think I've been called "Rachie" once or twice. I also went by "Raquel" and "Marie" for Spanish and French class respectively. I techinically will still answer to those. (But probably only the latter if you say it in a French accent).
I don't know. Names are just something I think about sometimes. lol. Ok enough rambling.
Anyways. Today is my mother's birthday, so happy birthday to her.
uhh more blogposts to come I guess lol.
