Dreams

2006-12-09T11:03:00.000-06:00

It isn't fair that I have to keep having these happy dreams about him just to wake up and know they aren't true. It's as though someone is playing cruel jokes on me just to see how much it'll hurt. Some game.

I'm sure the rest of the day will be as bleak as the fog...

2006-11-10T09:13:00.000-06:00

So, I have to go down south tonight... with my dad and cathy... ugh... I don't want to go.

Tomorrow we're going to a craft fair...yippie...

The only good part should be tonight when I get to stay at Mama and Papa's House. But tomorrow night I'm staying at Grandma Audrey's house because they're getting a hotel room.. yippie. He gave me this stupid excuse that because of kathy's hair show on sunday she wants to stay at a hotel to get things ready... I say that's the lamest attempt to cover up the fact that they're horny old people I've ever heard. I think he should stay with Grandma Audrey both nights because even I see her more than he does, and he's her son. He should have more respect.

Anyway, I'm hoping this weekend isn't a total wreck.

Now it really has been a while..

2006-10-31T22:02:00.000-06:00

So, I'm checkin' in again. It's been a while. I just wrote in on livejournal too.

I've been kinda pre-occupied with college apps and preview days and mom getting surgery and journey prep and all sorts of stuff, so I've been rather busy (and full of happy)!

Needless to say.. other people are off my mind.. ^^

I have to go do homework now, so I'll talk to you later!

It's been so long...

2006-06-14T23:33:00.000-05:00

I'm sorry I haven't been on in such a long time! Things have been so crazy! I haven't been getting any sleep, Jess and I have been helping with VBS Decorations (which is the greatest fun!!!), and my car has gotten in another accident this morning (and I'm feeling so guilty for it! I can't believe it happened)! Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............................

I don't want to go into that.

I wish VBS decorating could last forever!!!

So, now I'm going to go to bed. I'm hoping for a good night's rest...

Oyasumi!!!

Better.

2006-06-08T11:32:00.002-05:00

Things are better this morning, other than having an ear infection. I have to go get medicine now, I just thought I'd check in.

I'm sorry.

2006-06-08T00:20:00.000-05:00

I'm sorry for being so negative right now, but it's the middle of the night and I need to talk. I'm tired of crying over this person. I'm tired of losing sleep over him. I'm tired of people siding with him or telling me their stories and complaining over them when they still have fun with their friend and they still get to see him or her and they can still smile at eachother. I just want one look. One simple look from him. A glance. Some form of recognition. That's all. I'm going to stop here. I'm going to blog somewhere else, at another site that no one knows about yet. My next post will be happier, I promise. I just need... I need alot of things I can't get from other people I know. They don't understand and there's no way for me to explain because they don't know. They haven't been with us for every moment of our last 9 years together. They don't realize how close we were. They never will.

$1500...

2006-06-07T11:42:00.000-05:00

Mom took my car to the shop today... there is $1500 dollars worth of damage to it. Uhhh.

Why do people keep reading my phone messages? That's my new question.

I have to go take a shower and get ready. Talk to y'all later.

So, today was an interesting day... It started out at the dentist office...

I went in and, to my suprise, I have a different dental hygenist.

I now believe she was satan...

We then went to get the other car (the one we're gonna buy on Thursday) and headed over to James' office for him to check it out. Afterwards we went to Westwoods lodge to eat lunch. When we got out we found out that someone had tried to back into a parkingspot in an suv and proceeded to scratch up the entire driver's side of my car.... I wasn't happy... mom wasn't happy... the lady couldn't figure out how she did it...

We got home, too the car to shawn, waited at home, got the car, took it back, and went to the police station because we were told we needed to file a report, which we didn't have to do. I wanted to take pictures so we walked around for a while and once we quite a ways away, it started to rain hard. We stopped at one church, but then decided to go to the presbeterian across the street because it was open and I thought I could get some cool pictures... that was a mistake...

We got in there and saw that there was a service starting, so we decided to stay and listen to it... they started talking about the tortured in foreign countries... then about the war... then about the persecuted Jews and Gays and Lesbians... then we realized that we were the only straight people there... so we left when we could no longer hold in our laughter (not offensively, but it was just so serious and weird at the same time)...

When we got ouside mom realized she lost my keys...

Luckily they were on the steps of the first church we were at, but there was a news crew there... and one of them was in a scottish kilt...

So we got back to my car and went around taking more photos and we went to the wing zone (there were some weird people there too) and then we went to cold stone ice cream (which is AWESOME) and once we got out we heard this lady go (about her daughter) "She's eating paper, Eric!" and he went "Well I didn't feed it to her!". With the mood mom and I were on we just started cracking up!

Now were home... watching Shakira videos... it's crazy...

I guess I'll talk to y'all later!!!! Hope everyone else had good days!

Hi

2006-06-06T09:25:00.000-05:00

I'm getting ready to go to the dentist (... *gag* ...), but it's ok. I'm glad it's not the orthodontist!

Mom should be getting her new car today! She says it's a really nasty color... I hope it's not as bad as she says. But there's no radio because it was broken in to. It's a really nice car and it's been sitting in the impound for the last 8 years, so it should be in pretty good condition!

I guess I should go finnish getting ready... but I'm gonna leave you with a few last thoughts...

Hey y'all!

2006-06-05T12:52:00.000-05:00

Wow, it's been four days since I've blogged! I've been swamped though coming up with good ideas for the mission trip ideas (which ed still hasn't gotten back to me on... I had some questions that I needed answered! Oh well, it's photoshop so I can change things easily^^). I have to clean the floor too, but that takes like, what, 10 minutes at the most? I got time to talk to all you guys (well, I'm not sure anyone reads this...)!

I'm watching escape from alcatraz... but it's at the end... but I've seen it before^^. Bad memories though... my parents locked me in solitary confinement there... (they did, but it's no big deal! It was fun for me!)

Guess what! I got to go out at sunrise today and take pictures! I got all the way out past sweetwater too! I've already got fave adds on the pics I took too! I'm glad!

I guess I should go sweep now. My movie's over anyway and I'm still waiting on an e-mail from ed. TTYL!!!

Oyasumi!

2006-06-02T22:19:00.000-05:00

Well, I'm going outside to read before bed. Well, I might finish watching star trek first. I don't remember this one. It's the one where they think Scotty is killing all these people. I don't know. I kinda wanna read my book... it's pretty good. It's Samurai William (I know, history books again... I'm a nerd... I get it).

I think this guy (his name is Angus) is the voice of Piglet. I'm gonna look it up. It sounds like him... oh it is!!! Yay! I must be really good with voices!

Oh no!!! Scotty did stab people!

You know what? That guy even looks like piglet. ^^

They want to kill Scotty... I hope they don't... (I'm sure they won't and I'm sure he didn't kill the people, but I want to pretend I'm just that ignorant... storylines get a little predictable after a while...).

HEY! It was PIGLET who killed everyone! (And he just used this awsome jump kick to captain kurk! I didn't know piglet could do that!). Now I won't be able to look at piglet the same. Well, we already decided that piglet was gay... but now he's a gay serial killer! That's insane.

I'll talk to y'all later, good night!!!

Taxi

2006-06-02T18:00:00.000-05:00

I'm watching Taxi, which features my 2nd fav cover girl, Queen Latifa, my fav snl guy, Jimmy Fallon, my fav girl from spin city, Jennifer Esposito, and my 3rd fav supermodel, Gisele Bündchen! Be better if it had Heidi and Seal in it...

I'm so glad 'So you think you can dance' is back on. I love that show! I found a video of 'sex' too and I put it on my myspace account! I also got a vid of the jewish guy that smashed his head! It's great!

Ok, well I'm gonna go. I'll talk to y'all later!!!
Love ya! Elyse

Yawn...

2006-06-02T10:09:00.000-05:00

I just woke up... actually I've been editing my myspace profile, but I still feel tired. I'm really hungry too. I think I'm gonna go have one of those mini bagles in the kitchen... I had one last night... and it was really good!

Yesterday was a good day for food too because I went to Cici's and they actually had their bbq pizza out (which is my favorite)! It wasn't very good for me, but it was good for my tastebuds!!! Then mom and I went to play the fast and the furious... and I got in 2nd while she got in 6th :) .

I wish I could use deviantart emotiocons on here... that would be great....

Necesito llamar mi mama(I can't add accients for some reason... but I mean my mom). TTYL!

Mario!

2006-06-01T22:21:00.000-05:00

Ah! I love this!

Sorry, I know this isn't really a blog, but I love this game!

Another long day is over...

2006-06-01T17:46:00.000-05:00

So, mom sold her van today... and now she's really sad. She also found a car she wanted... Now she's on my myspace account looking at something or other, or leaving a comment.

I don't know what else to talk about... Oh! I got a new phone!!!! It's a pink razor and it's the nicest phone I've ever had! I'm so excited!!!!!!! ♥♥♥ Estoy muy emocionada!!

I guess i should go. This was a really boring blog today. Oh well. More later! TTYL!!!

"I want my stage name to be 'sex' "

2006-05-31T21:04:00.000-05:00

We just got done watching yet another fine episode of one of my favorite tv shows, 'so you think you can dance'. There wasn't anyone so terribly bad as 'sex' was, except that creepy tap dancing girl, but it was still great as ever.

I love watching the girls! I got some good pictures of them today too, especially this one of Andrea wearing my high-heals. I normally can't get any good pictures of her, it's usually only Ana who will stay still long enough. I'll have to get those pictures enhanced and printed for Mihaela.

I guess I'll go. Oyasumi!

Today's Top Stories

2006-05-31T10:34:00.000-05:00

So, today should be fun... at first. I'm going to babysit the Sexton girls at 2 o'clock, but then my grandparents will be here tonight (but just for tonight only) and sometime (I'm assuming tonight) my dad is coming over to tell my mom he's getting re-married, but mom already knows this so she's going to have him sign the papers to sell the van first, but I still really don't want to be here when it happens... heck, I don't want it to happen.

I have to go pick up my mess before my grandparents get here. Mom and I spent all of yesterday cleaning the garage, so the house isn't near clean enough by my grandma's standards. We don't live in filth or anything, but she sure does of fine job of finding any.

I'm really trying to avoid cleaning... *changing topic* Mom has this giant bruise that's larger than my hand on her left arm right in that crease where your arm bends. It's nasty looking. I can't hardly look at it. She got it trying to start the pressure washer. That stupid thing's always making trouble.

Well, I'm out of things to blog about, and I've already worked alot of sudoku puzzles today... I guess that leaves cleaning. I only have a few short hours till I go babysit anyway, so I better go do it now before it's too late. I just hope my xbox doesn't 'accidentally' turn on or anything like that. You know how those things just happen sometimes... and the godfather is in, and I just can't say no to that... ^^

I will talk to y'all later!!! ^^

My first bogger blog

2006-05-30T13:39:00.000-05:00

I'm going to try to keep this blog as up-beat and positive as humanly possible. My other blogs I use too much as a venting tool. Here I'm just going to talk about my progress with photography and art and my life as I'm heading off to college in a year.

Here's a basic look at all of this....

I recently took up photography... and although I really enjoy taking photos, it's also partly to make up for something that isn't in my life anymore... to make up for a lost love... so I'm really not doing this for profit or glory and honor or anything like that, it just helps me move on.

I'm a senior in high school now and I plan to go to Greenville College after graduation. I'm going into Urban and Cross-Cultural Ministries and will be in Chicago for a semester. Right now school is out and I'm studying to take my ACT's for a 3rd time, hoping to increase my 24 point grade. I'm hoping for more friends my senior year since I have spent the last 4 months relitively alone, and some good friends I've had this year have graduated.

After College I want to attend a SBSeminary in Louisville, KY, and then join NAMB as a career missionary. I love Chicago and I hope to serve there.

Anyway, more later... TTYL!
