I drew a man of black and white

he was created precious in my sight

I made a girl of green and blue

and she brought joy to all she knew

and these are the colors i pulled out of my crayon box one day

and when the picture was finished

I was told to put it away.

The grass was orange, the sky was brown

the ocean yellow, atop set the town

and Bob knew Jane and Jane liked Fred

but Fred loved Rose, the Rose was red

and these are colors I pulled out of my crayon box one day

and when the picture was finished I was told to put it away

cause in some people's' minds

they've become so color-blind

inside the gold and silver line

that they'll never see the true art comes from coloring outside the lines 

God made men of black and white

they are created precious in His sight

and God made girls of green and blue

and they bring joy to all that move

and we are the colors God pulled out of his crayon box that day

and when He mixed us together, what a perfect world He had made

and we are the colors that's pulled out of a crayon box someday

and if we'd all come together, we'd see a perfect world we'd create.

Hey kids... it's been a while since I've actually written something worth reading on here, so I figured it's time for a glance into the life of Jennie Beth. Life over the past couple months have been, in one word: exingent. It's funny how life can be so taxing, yet so rewarding at the same time. I have my friends to thank for that; there's never a moment that passes that I don't thank God for blessing me with them. I know I couldn't have made it this far without any of them--- i love you guys. Even though the situation is supposed to get worse before any improvement, it's comforting to know that I have all of their support.

On a lighter note, school starts up in only 4 weeks. Uhhh.. blah! I'm not looking forward to the droning taxation of the everyday homily the professors will be dishing out. This semester should be interesting... I'm taking over 20 hrs... half of them are dance/music classes. My butt should be whipped back into shape by the end of this semester. yay.

One priority to cover before going back to school: the soon-to-be tradition of "Waterballoon Mayhem"--- a little diddy passed on from friends at my old High School that involves: war paint, jello-filled water balloons, and training bras (used for slingshots). Fun? Hell yes!

On a more random note: saw "Thirteen" today for the first time--- definitely a movie that every teenager needs to watch. You crazy kids...

Alright... I think that's about as much "spilling out" as I can handle. Hope you all are having an amazing summer.

(P.S.- HAPPY BIRFDAY, ANNA BALLEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

"Sometimes I feel like there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. The moon tonight, there's a circle around it. Sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing... I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know. Maybe I had my happiness. I don't want to believe it but, there is no man, Gilly. Only that moon."

Only the best movie ever...

So... a good friend that dances in L.A. called me today...

And got me an audition w/ a major dance company there...

So I have 2 options

Option #1: Stay here in Wichita- go to Nursing School, be active in my sorority, be close to my friends and family, and just be "safe"

or...

Option #2: Save up money and go to L.A. in March/possibly stay there for a while/be away from my friends and family

I know I'm not good enough to be a professional dancer in L.A.

but there's just something that's telling me to go for it

AH.

This decision would be so much easier if I didn't have friends/family that cared so much about me...
