give this guy a dropje

quick question...

Templeton's wedding anyone?

unbelizable

swing life away...

I've been here so long I think that its time to move
The winter's so cold summer's over too soon
let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
I've got some friends some that I hardly know
But we've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave 'til the end
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
-Swing Life Away by Rise Against

I couldn't help it...I absolutely love this song and I had to put the lyrics on here. Everyone who reads this must download it, listen to it, and tell me what you think about it. For me, it has so much to do with what our whole team has been going through here...and honestly...I love it here guys. It can't compare to all of you at home, but this is a very different situation. I love all of the people I'm here with. There are occasional problems of course...but I'm learning from these people and they're hopefully learning from me. You know what's crazy?? I'm talking...so much! I'm opening up to people...I'm learning to love people I didn't think I'd ever like. Honestly...Belize is incredible. Just check out my photos from facebook which I'm finally adding because I have a NEW LAPTOP finally! It's so pretty : )

God doesn't seem as distant here for me...in fact He's very near : )

[drumroll please...]

Attention all who still faithfully read my not so consistent blog posts...I have news for you! I have made for myself a blog dedicated purely to my Belize trip. In case you don't know what the URL is, I will tell you now.

DAA DA DA DAAAAAAAA....

http://underthemahoganytree.blogspot.com

hurray!

So yeah. I'm going to keep that up pretty consistently. I'll put up pictures and talk about my daily life there...so yeah I hope it'll be an interesting read! You're welcome to post a comment or two, just keep in mind that most of my church congregation will have access to it too so...yeah. : P
I'm hiding this blog from my profile because I'd rather that they don't discover this one.

I like secret blogs!


Random Fact. By the time I come home from Belize, it will almost be a year since we took a lovely day trip to Wonderland! I think that is crazy. It was definitely memorable for many reasons. Any of you girls up for going again this summer?

Nope

yes I'm putting some poetry up here...some of you will get it, some of you will not. For those who are confused...mwahaha i'll never tell. Someone else probably will though.
It was just...fitting. I found it at my grade school in a poem book very very VERY randomly.



Nope

I put a piece of cantaloupe
Underneath the microscope
I saw a million strange things sleepin'
I saw a zillion weird things creepin'
I saw some green things twist and bend-
I won't eat cantaloupe again.

AMEN TO THAT.

...this is weird.
Blogger is...dead.
...and I am creating a new one. IRONIC.
but i have to. it's not my choice...
...it's for Belize. To keep people updated on my daily life there...but it depends how often I can get to a computer.
my last job...is to think of a good name for it...ideas anyone...?
...maybe someone will realize in about ten years that I've posted...it's crazy how dead blogger is...
I just have nothing to say...

Sometimes I like going back in time, and I look at some good ooold family pictures. This is what comes out of those boxes and boxes of photos...wishing, in a way, that I could go back to this.

But sometimes in real life, I do feel like I'm back here. Possibly because I'm immature...or it could be that at the odd time I just feel free to do what ever the heck I want. Things change from day to day lately...there's a lot to get used to/to get ready for/of people to somehow say goodbye to for three months. You tell me how to do it.

update (hurray!)

I hate how fast time goes in between my posts, especially when I have no new ideas. So...I'll give an update on my life.

My passport came in the mail yesterday. I don't totally hate my picture, but I don't like it. Who would like their passport photo though...we all probably look pretty scary in them.:p
I think I broke my record of how short it took me to watch the entire Pride and Prejudice mini-series. Less than 24 hours...i'm/we're insane!
It's sad enough that there's seven people playing DS at our lunch table, but it's even sadder that the rest of us are sitting there WATCHING them play.
I just may be staying at this school for almost eleven hours today.
I'm having a little Damien Rice phase right now...he's basically all I listen to.
One of the people I'm going to Belize with added me to facebook. Somehow that makes it a little more real that I'm actuall e doing this. AAAA
I witnessed a robbery. I hate it when I lose respect for people...but I can't help it when they do that.

I'm confused on many levels...

what a pointless post. at least it's not one line this time. be happy all you people who should be:p
