Waiting hurts, a lot, and some of the time that hurt is really bad, but other times it can actually make you the happiest person on the planet. And, no matter how it ends, the wait is always worth it when it does end.
40. Quote some song lyrics that sums up your year:
If there’s a price for rotten judgment
I guess I’ve already won that.
Oh, no chance, no way, I won’t say it, no, no.
It’s too cliché. -Won’t Say I’m In Love - Hercules
When you're caught up in the hurt
On the otherside of the earth
Just meet me in the memory
When the waves hit you now and then
You're awash in what we might have been
Just meet me in the memory
So close to nothing
What are the chances that we would collide
And fate is the one thing
The strongest of us can't fight
~Meet Me In The Memory - Sister Hazel
Searching for the answer,
nobody seems to care,
And now I wish that you were here,
beside me,
to wipe away my tears.
*And it's a leap of faith,
when you believe there's someone out there,
it's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh, ~Leap of Faith - Michelle Branch
Somewhere there's a stolen halo
I used to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine wherever she would go
But looking at her now you'd never tell
Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get out of her head. ~Holy Water - Big & Rich
And, more than any of those up there…
All that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like. ~Born to Try - Delta Goodrem
In other news, I'm leaving to head down to Saginaw in about seven, eight hours.
Something like that.
Only I'm not going straight to Saginaw, spending a night in Blanchard.
With my friend Emmy, her mom, and my own mother >.>;
I'm going to try and wear my 'Taste My Rainbow' shirt
But I think it might get removed by force, because my ride down is with a pastor.
The one my mother is determined I should find nice enough to 'go straight' for.
Seriously, could she get anymore off of what I'd go for?
I might very be wishing that I could do what that icon is come tomorrow halfway home.
Ashlee and I think that there will be a total of 200 (or more) twitches from my mother alone.
Oh well, it'll entertain me.
Started writing a short story *nods*
Think that I'm getting sick, or my stomach-area just full-out hates me.
Be grateful, there will probably be no entries from me until Sunday at the earliest!
(Unless something really important happens... which I doubt).
Maybe I'll actually get some sleep these next few nights...
Okay, that made me laugh.
<3 to all.
E.T.A. -...why does the Coca-Cola bottle mum left out have 'love' on it?
o.o
