    i'm virtually broke.
    bills, car, gas.
    broke.
    not entirely, but close.
    if something doesn't change....if i don't get more hours at work
    or my business doesn't take off once i get it up and running
    i could be in a wee bit of trouble.

    please pray for me.
    for my current financial situation.
    i feel kind of scared right now.
    i'm also supposed to be saving money for a trip coming up
    and i'm afraid i won't have enough money for that either.
    so please, if you are a praying person, say a prayer for me.
    its greatly appreciated. thank you.

    so...i really don't have much to write about.
    i've re-discovered my love of dancing to techno music in my bedroom.
    my sister and i played basketball today in the rain.
    i've lost yet another sock to the dryer.
    and I don not have a case of the Mondays :]

    hahaha. <3
    oh House. what a lovely show.
    okay. so i have a favor to ask of everyone.
    i don't normally do this, but a friend of mine really deserves it.
    if you would please go here and here that would be lovely.
    its my friend Daniel and his band.
    amazing music and i think you guys and dolls will really like it.

    pea ess. Daniel is on itunes. i'm thinking you should go check that out too :]

    i just read a friend's blog about how she met her husband.
    it brought back something Kourtney had once told me:
    "mandy, you're never going to find love when you're out looking for it"
    and this was very apparent in my friend's story.
    so thats it. i'm done searching.
    why would i want to hunt down my future husband anyway?
    wouldn't it be more fun to just run into him?
    God has him for me, and it'd be so much more fun having it be a surprise and falling for the guy that was planned for me than picking the guy myself and having him be a disaster.
    does that make sense?
    it does to me.

    a good friend of mine recently wrote about how he really likes xanga again.
    and i couldn't agree with him more.
    i feel such a freedom and peacefulness here. i've met great people and i love just spilling my guts in a blog.
    i swear, i'm about to have a mental breakdown from all of the application requests on facebook.
    and the ads on myspace could corrupt Ghandi.
    but i really like it here. a lot.
    and my friends here.
    if you're reading this, you are a beautiful person and i love you dearly.

    road trip tomorrow. joplin.
    thank God. i need to get out of here for a few hours.
    a few days. a few years. forever.
    it seems that this past week has altered everything.
    and i need something new.
    please God. throw me something new.

    90 days til Europe!
    and i don't think i'm coming back.
    i sure as heck don't want to. i want to travel.
    to always be traveling. a traveling artist.
    i can paint and sell my art work in the streets of Europe.
    live in a shabby apartment above a cute cafe.
    fall in love with an Venetian street musician.
    mmmmmmm yes.

a piece of who i am.

i'm a binge eater. soon to be ex-binge eater. which means i tend to hide and eat massive amounts of food. until i feel sick. i also use to cut. a lot. whenever i'd get angry or nervous. but now i wear a rubber band to help stop the cutting. i have panic attacks. almost daily. and very low self-esteem. but i'm choosing to change this. i have to. or its going to kill me. its not going to be easy. i need as much support as i can get. but i'm doing this. i have to. i need to. i want to.
