yesterday i had an orthodontist appt. in the morning, but all day i just finished packing, played guitar &piano, listened to music, cleaned, and mowed the lawn. then i went to the camera shop to get the pictures from washington dc &pittsburgh. my mom deleted basically the ones i wanted to see. ie: my nature pics &the cute boys from pitt, &my photogenic self in washington haha then we went to pick up my paycheck and visited granny &grampa. then picked up bonnie and she came over. we went to ritas &rite aid of course. then came back here &talked for a while until mom took her home at 1030 on her way to work. i didnt go to sleep til 1 !
today i woke up and got onlien for a little until i heard dad's truck come up the driveway. i put on my massachusetts tshirt and ran out to zach. my brother is home. life is [almost] complete. ((once my family is together again in arizona then it'll be complete hehe)) so i showered &got ready &packed up my cds; just been hanging out all afternoon with zach and mom and karen, a girl from wildwood who's staying the night or something. i leave at 330, not 430.. which is like now.
i will be back the 22nd of august. <33 i love you guys. miss me lots

GOD HAS PLACED A CHOICE BEFORE ME.

     My life can be one that breaks my heart or breaks God's. Will I choose to protect my heart, shield my eyes, and close my ears to the great suffereing of this world? Or will I follow my head who never asks me to go where he has not gone before. If I allow Him to pour His love for the world through me, it will break my heart. How could it not? It broke His. And if I do not allow Him to teach me what it means to love the world, then I break His heart, a heart that has been broken many times by those of us who name His name.
     If we allow love for this world to break our hearts, we will want to respond.
     We do not naturally love the world, nor do we care for His church as He defines it-- every tribe and people and tongue and nation. May God open our eyes, enlarge our hearts, expose our small world views.

anywhoo. so this week has been fun so far.
sunday - went to church &all that jazz. then stacy, holli, &charlotte came to my house. we walked to kfc to eat lunch &then went to ritas. when we got home we left almost right away for the movies to see.. ANCHORMAN. that movie is funny yo, you hafta be in the mood to see it i guess 'cause i heard from other people it sucked but it didnt. so we hung out after the movies til my mom came. stacy got picked up by her aunt &we dropped off holli &charlotte at holli's house and i went home and reeeelaxed.
monday - didn't do much, just laid around &talked online all day til madre oesch &i went to CVS and then visit grampa in the hospital for a while. (for those of you who dont know - he has an infected foot so he went to chesnut hill hospital to get antibiotics 'cause he stepped on somethin but he gets out today so its allll good ) after we left we ate dinner, ian &i picked up holli and then he dropped us off at stacy's house. it was crrrrrazy 'cause at around 10, zach came with his friend mike on their bikes and knocked on stacys door with a plastic bag over his head. holli &i were crackin up but stacy was freaking out and when we said WHO IS IT no one would answer plus we couldnt lock the door 'cause zach was holding it on the other side. so it ended up being him, scaring the living daylights outta stacy &matt hahah. then we hung outside for a while until they left, putting on a show of fireworks for us while we heard zach saying PEDDLE PEDDLE to mike as they rode off on their bikes ahah. then we settled down &watched Meet the Parents and then just talked til around 2.
tuesday - woke up around 8; stacy was up with matt &kristen was already at the house so holli &i got ready. then we dropped matt off at his art camp thing and we went to burger king for breakfast, then headed to the church to meet up with everyone who was goin tubing ! we got to the tubing place around 12. turned out to be soooooo much fun ! basically just hung out with ben, his cousin matt, mitch, &graham the whole time so it was cool. got back to the church around 545. mom picked us up and we dropped stacy &holli off at holli's house. when i got home i got the message that bonnie was home ! i ate dinner &then she came over and spent the night. we just talked for hours &ate &it was wonderful. at like 1230 or so we popped in A Walk To Remember but i fell asleep to that pretty quick
wednesday - somehow woke up in my own bed. i guess during the night i mustve gotten up &went up to my room to sleep. i just got online til bonnie woke up &we listened to music and read magazines til her madre came at 12. i just practiced the piano &showered &then went to my lesson at 3. then went to the library to pick up the summer reading book for school , cvs &visited grampa for a while and then went to genaurdi's. just relaxed all night.

this purchased rebellion has been outbidded,
denounced and rescinded and left to die championless
i begged you not to go
i beggd you, i pleased
claimed you as my only hope
and watched the floor as you retreated

so.. this week was awesome.

wednesday i was supposed to have a piano lesson at 230. only when i went up to my room, i saw the usual asian guy teaching his violin/cello lessons he does on wednesdays. so yeah. my teacher wasn't really there.. so i didnt know what room to go to.. so i went downstairs and asked the lady at the front desk where she was. she had car trouble. but we somehow didnt get the message at home. oh well. so we went home and i just talked online til holli came over around 4. we hung out for a bit. then company came over from mom's work at 530. we ate and hung out outside, mostly with meghan &ali, who's aunt works with my mom. also did karaoke, which was tons of fun. oldies rock. they all left around 830 so holli &i just chilled inside til mom took her home when she left for work at 1030.
thursday ian took me to work at 1130. mom picked me up at 3 &i came home, made a few phone calls, and hopped in the shower. then she drove me over to joel's parents' office and we waited around for them. then his dad, him &i went to papa johns to get pizza &to TWO blockbusters.. only to find they dont have The Bourne Identity. so we're bummed, but get Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King. now i have seen all three lotr ! finally hah. dont laugh. but it was fun. we just talked during like the whole movie. then they took me home around 930.
friday - yesterday - i did absolutely nothing ! it was a blast, i must say hah. i cleaned &i ate &i went online &i had a dandy ole' time by myself. well.. actually, i think i did something at night but i cant remember. maybe not. *shrugs*
today - saturday - i woke up &got ready. then mom took me over to mcdonalds &the bank to cash in my checkkk. it was beautiful check, i must say. thenn she took me to rebekahs &we waited til her mom to take us to the mall; i got some stuffff &we ate lunch and scared people. only rebekah knows. gooooood times ! they dropped me off at my house at 4. i fed the dogs &called jen and her mom came to pick me up at 430. when i got to their house nickie was already there. so we caught up for a bit, then ate dinner. afterwards we went outside &put our legs in the pool and talked for a while. it was nice. then we came inside &watched How To Lose a Guy In 10 Days. i just got home about a half hour ago.
for the rest of this week... im not sure. until then

ahh. and i see hardly anyone has remembered that TWO DAYS AGO, on JULY 29, 2004, MY DEAR BEST GOOD FRIEND BONNIE ELIZABETH OLIPHINT HAS TURNED FIFTEEN. but she is in texas, sadly, not with us now. but soon she will be home

hope has sprung a perfect dive
a perfect day, a perfect lie
a slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat
