"I don't want to be lonely anymore"

Hi kids.. not much to post about really. I've been uber busy.. and keep forgetting to update. I found out that my mouth will cost $7,000 to make pretty... w/ 2 surgeries. One of which is really a 3 in one deal. I won't go into details but basically metal screws into my jaw w/ some bone screwed to my jaw as well... then just for fun taking out wisdom teeth.. that's the first surgery only.. second they take out screws and mess w/ the other permanent screws...etc..Neways.. I am officially working at Merri-Mac this summer.. I'm so freaking excited! Let's see what else.. I'm gonna go into a theory I had today.. it's hard to understand.. well at least Parker and Brooke thought I was weird... but here it goes.. It seems to be that unrequited love... loves me.. (meaning I tend to fall for guys who have no interest in me in return).. so I decided that I hate unrequited love... so basically I un-requite unrequited love! Hmph!!! Sorry that's my randomness... Anyways I feel I have more to write about..but I am really not in the mood to go into anything else anymore.. I'm in a funk..sorry!

I added this later after New Dawg Nite.. just a story to add that Stephen shared that really touched me!
2 brothers were in Mississippi named Tom and Jerry. Tom was the oldest I believe and Jerry was younger.. Down in the river sometimes silt builds up and causes a lot of problems for the boats.. they get stuck on them etc. So boaters will go and put up a fence around the silt areas to warn other boats of the silt build up, so they won't get stuck. Well one day Tom and Jerry decided to go and play in the river on the silt beds. They found a hole in the fence and snuck in. They were playing when all of a sudden something bad happened. As Stephen put it.. silt sometimes acts like Nestle power when u put it in milk. It will sit around packed up on top, but then suddenly fall below the surface. Well this is what basically happened with Tom and Jerry. An air pocket gave way under them and caused them to fall inside the silt. After a while the parents got worried b/c they couldn't find their children at the house, so they went to the river to find them. They could faintly hear "Help" being called from the river. Jerry's head was barely sticking out of the water, and he had so much pressure on his chest he was basically being suffocated. His parents came around him and were asking "Where is Tom, Jerry?? Where is Tom?? Where is ur brother??" Finally Jerry says.."I am standing on his shoulders!"~~ Jerry's brother realized what was happening when the silt bed gave way, and he grabbed his brother and put him on his shoulders.. Tom had sacrificed himself to save his younger brother.. he gave his life to save his brother. After Stephen said this story all I could think about was.."I'm standing on his shoulders!?!?!" I mean it is so much like the relationship Christians have w/ Christ. Christ knew that he had to give his life in order to save his people, so without even thinking about it he accepted his fate and gave up his life.. to save us! It's just so amazing to me.. I mean Tom could have tried to save himself instead, but no.. for some reason he saved his brother..just like Christ. We can never 100% under the love God has for us, or how it felt to separate from His son on that day... or what it was like for Christ to have his father turn His back on him...BAH! Mind boggling.. and on that note.. bed time!
