I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright


I know I should stop writing in quotes, but it's really all I can do.



I wonder what sort of secrets God is telling all of creation that makes the winds and skies and creatures dance and laugh all about me.

"my foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish
my departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots
at that particular time love had challenged me to stay
at that particular moment I knew not run away again
that particular month I was ready to investigate with you
at that particular time

you knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction
you felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted
at that particular time love encouraged me to leave
at that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me
that particular month was harder than you'd believe but I still left
at that particular time" -alanis

Will I ever be encouraged to leave? I'm afraid I won't. I will be forever shaken by the unreality of bliss.

"To see the darkness, to listen within
To answer in kindness, to ever begin
To ever be gentle, to always be strong
To walk in the wonder, to live in the song
In a place of enchantment where the wild things are known..."

I guess I feel like that place is so sacred, I only want to share it with two people, one of whom is Christ. I wish you could respect that.

Oh, fighting over Xanga. How utterly enjoyable.

In other news: lurvelurvelurve. And interview at the Snite. And stuff.

"You are holy, you are holy, and my life is in Your hands."

I am very very very very worried about getting into college. After not getting the Herron Scholarship, not winning anything at Nationals, and realizing the lack of diversity in my portfolio, I am worried about my admittance. So I've been praying the Memorare like crazy lately. Yiiiiiiiikes. Also thinking I'm definitely NOT going to get into the Snite Museum Apprenticeship.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen!

"Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are

And what you are is beautiful"
-Goo Goo Dolls

Right now I feel incredibly far from beautiful.

I was informed today that I won't get my braces off until just before I leave for college. I now have a bracket inside my teeth and 5 rubber bands. I have the worst headache possible and I hate braces.

And I didn't get the Herron scholarship. Big surprise.

Edit: AND I just got an email from the Snite Museum saying that I have an interview for the summer apprenticeship. And guess what day it is? Saturday, the day of the retreat. Right when I'm supposed to be giving my talk.

Edit: AND in order to go to the interview, I have to have my portfolio. In order to get my portfolio, I have to drive down to Indy Mon-Fri from 8am-4pm. And guess who can't be absent anymore days? That's right. Me.

Edit: AND I think my cell phone has been stolen. I hope not.

I wish I was more of everything. More artistic, more beautiful, more enchanting, more composed, more girly, more sensible, more loveable, more logical, more athletic, more organized, more real.

Whatever.
