We are getting closer to another year at Bethel. Just a month and 4 days until it's move in time for me :)
I have sooo much packing and cleaning to do. You'd think it would be easy to pack since I would say half of my stuff has never left the bag or tote that it was packed in originally, but that is not the case. I am so excited to move into the Lodge with my closest friends.
Do you think it's ironic that I have a horrible memory when it comes to certain things, but in my dreams I can see a friend in clothes that they actually own, eating food in the manner that they usually do, and even speaking (or sometimes signing) exactly how they would if we were talking in person? Do you? because I find that ridiculous sometimes lol.
Gah I can't wait.
Recently I've:
Met a new friend in person
Had dinner with an old one
Driven aimlessly to a new destination
Written some new poems
Pondered more tattoos: one of the symbol for empathy, which is this, and one of quotes from my favorite poems, still deciding on quotes.
Packed a couple boxes
Waved at some old friends.
Some favorite things:
Organizations:
Promisetoamanda.org- an organization dedicated to Amanda, with whom I graduated with that died 2 years ago.
projectunbreakable.tumblr.com- a support site for survivors of sexual assault in which victims are photographed with posters of their attacker's quotes
twloha.com- a support website for suicide and self-injury prevention.
Poets:
Sierra Demulder
Jeanann Verlee
Sarah Kay
Katie Makkai
Phil Kaye
Today I:
Saw- a weirdly painted PT cruiser lol
Heard- some hilarious slam poems
Smelled- Granite City food
Tasted- Root Beer floats :)
Touched- I hugged a guy from my dad's work awkwardly lol

Katy Perry and other fun stuff.
Yeah, I know it's been a while, but honestly, my life is not that exciting.
So where were we last...Oh fair was over and I was planning some things. None of my plans really happened, go figure lol. Still have not cleaned, still have not packed or anything. Oh well. At this point, I have a month and 10 days until it's time to move into school anyways.
I did end up videotaping one of my poems and putting it on youtube, but I hate watching myself on camera haha.
Lately, I got back into drawing some more portraits, which are my favorite things to draw :)
I've also been playing a lot of DDR. I forgot how much I used to play and how much I enjoyed it.
Yesterday I went with my mom, Daniel, and Paulette to go and see Katy Perry in her movie Part Of Me. *If you haven't seen the movie and you don't want to know what happens don't read the next part*
Can I just ask that one time can I go to a movie and not feel every emotion that happens in it? But, I have a lot of respect for Katy for putting as much as she did in this documentary movie. You watch her start the tour all excited and playful. Then, you watch her fall apart. She falls in love with Russel Brand and then gets divorced. It goes through how she was raised in a Pentecostal home and how her parents accepted her no matter what songs she sings. I could feel her love for her husband and it was real. Then as their relationship got strained it became extremely hard to watch. There was a point where she completely broke down and I almost lost it. She was completely depressed. She felt, to me, as if she was done. She didn't want to perform that night and knowing that there are thousands of fans nearby waiting on you to be happy is awful. But she pulled through. She did have a moment on stage where she started to cry because all of her fans were chanting that they loved her in Portuguese. I was a fan of Katy Perry before to a point. Now, I appreciate what she does so much more.
Other news: I applied to tutor for a couple classes at Bethel so we'll see if that works out. If you know of anybody who needs a tutor or someone for study help keep me in mind ;)
Today I:
Saw- Big Brother- love that show :)
Heard- rain and thunder. It stormed all night long.
Smelled- Nothing interesting
Tasted- left overs from trivia last night
Touched- my new wrist band for Amanda's memorial organization called promisetoamanda.org.

Fair is over.
I have returned now after a long week of fair and heat.
Fair week was ok. I used to love fair soo much, but after not being in it for so long, it's lost its funness. Daniel and I used to walk around all day and such, but this year with the heat, that was impossible. On the bright side, I got a lot of driving time in :) I like driving a lot. I just wish gas didn't deplete itself when I do it.
Yesterday Daniel and I had a good night :)
We went driving around to Disc Replay and Wal-Mart. On our adventure we picked up some PlayStation2 games and new memory card. Meaning Kingdom Hearts fun! We are hilarious when we narrate, so I really hope we can work out a Let's Play series for youtube. We ordered pizza and had some bonding time. It was lovely :)
Today I was planning on playing some more KH, which I have to say is the longest most frustrating game ever. But, mother is sick and came home early. I had to go with her to the butcher and drive home. The smell of the butcher shop was enough to make me want to be a vegetarian. Sadly, I am not fond of vegetables, but it's not out of the question entirely. Also, being around her makes me sick because of my lovely abilities...yay.
Tomorrow's plans: sorting, organizing, and videotaping. I really need to clean my room and such. Plus I've been flirting with the idea of vlogging. I've made a promise to tape some of my poetry, since it's supposed to be spoken word poetry, paper doesn't do it justice.
Today I:
Saw- a "Corner Cafe" which was not on a corner
Heard- the lovely music of Kingdom Hearts, it's one of the best video game scores.
Smelled- a butcher shop, indescribable
Tasted- leftover Papa John's :)
Touched- the steering wheel
