Here

Well, I'm home now and I can't get online with my computer, so no pics for awhile. So anyway, here's a Garden State quote:

Andrew Largeman: "This hurts so much"
Sam: I know it hurts. But it's life, and it's real. And sometimes it hurts, but it's life, and it's pretty much all we've got."

Well it's my last few hours in Boone, a place that I once hated and now have come to love. It's about 20 degrees outside and sleeting, but I don't care, the ground is white, so I'm happy. This semester has been tough, but it's over and I still havn't made a C yet in college (meaning all A's and B's, not all D's and F's). It's weird that I'm going to miss this town so much, I'll only be gone a month, and what a month it will be, but I feel so reluctant to leave. I once said that Boone would never be home to me, and it's not yet, at least not exclusivley. Jamestown will never not be home. But it will never be my only home again.

Jesus, Mary's Flippin' HUGE!!!!

Whitney - Mary's unfortunate donkey, Britty - the lamb, and I think Keeli's and elf
so yes, you all know this is pretty much par for the course for Marshall. The weird things were, Marshall (Mary) actually rode Whitney (the donkey). Even weirder, Whitney could not stop rubbing Mary's stomach, she said it was "comforting". When Whitney left for the whole fiasco with the guy who got his earing stuck in a car door, which of course ripped it out, and Whit ended up in the emergency room around 2 that night, Britty took over belly rubbing duties and she went with both hands and staired straight into Marshall's face while she was rubbing his belly. Oh, and then there was the advent of my "walk". And Dave's burning battery packs. Matt's spare tire, and the like. And such was the New Life Christmas party.

Confessions

Yeah, I'll admit I didn't take this one, although I really wish I had. Anyway, this is my blog and I can do what I want, I can be as weird as I am, this is inspired by a certain Jamie Harris, and her extremely weird dream, if you don't know what I'm talking about read her blog a few posts back. Anyway, I am here to admit that there is someone in this picture who I am rather taken with. This is my new "celebrity" crush. And she's my number one, yeah she beats out Keira Knightly, all the Dupris, and Natalie Portman is all but forgotten as is Kristen Kruek. She lives in Tenessee!!! And right now she's making it very difficult to study for my two exams tomorrow. I mean her favorite movie is A Mighty Wind!!! It's meant to be. Oh, by the way she's the lead singer of Paramore. This is a picture of the band, but who cares about the other members? Not me that's for sure.

"Love is not an emotion, it is a commitment, a sacrifice" - Kyle Stout
I've been trying to figure out what love is for awhile now. And what it means to love people, and all the different kinds of love. But mostly how to love. Kyle certainly has something, but not all. No one can truly know what love really is except that God is love. So the only way know love is to know God.......well that was obvious.

You're More Than Welcome to Sing Along...

John Bingham, at the rock quarry, jamestown nc
Because I believe that the music someone listens to says a lot about that person, and I have been known to dislike a person based solely on their musical tastes, here is my top 25 most played songs on my iPod.

Someone Else's Arms - Mae
My Heart - Paramore
Moshi Moshi - Brand New
A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me" - Fall Out Boy
Crooked Teeth - Death Cab for Cutie
So Cold I Could See My Breath - Emery
Listening to Freddy Mercury - Emery
Here We Go Again - Paramore
Never Let This Go - Paramore
You're So Last Summer (acoustic) - Taking Back Sunday
Cute Without the "E" (Cut From the Team) - Taking Back Sunday
Timberwolves at New Jersey - Taking Back Sunday
Waste of Paint - Bright Eyes
When Paula Sparks - Copeland
Pin Your Wings - Copeland
You Have My Attention - Copeland
Your Heart is an Empty Room - Death Cab for Cutie
Of Angels and Angles - The Decemberists
I'm Ready, I Am - The Format
Something Isn't Right Here - The Juliana Theory
Whoa - Paramore
Still In Love Song - The Stills
Photo Booth - Death Cab for Cutie
Soul Meets Body - Death Cab for Cutie
Playing With Fire - Emery

Now a lot of these are just on here by coincidence due to the fact that most of the time my iPod is just on shuffle, but obviously the fact the Paramore got on here four times, and I only have ten of their songs in all must mean something, and Death Cab, TBS, Emery, and Copeland are definitely some of my favorite bands. Anyway, here's a really easy trivia question for you, my vast reader base, and this is on the honor system not to just google it. Who can tell me who Freddy Mercury is? First one to get it gets something.

Destiny

The blaze in your gaze is drawing me into you, I'm being chased by the very one that I pursue.
