I'm Bound to Pack It Up

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

5 days till I start my new life.

Michael's A Stud. The Flamingos Loved Him.

This picture says it all.
-------
We were at West Ed and we stopped to say hello to the flamingos. When they saw his stunning pink suit, they all came out of the water and started staring him down, swinging their heads back and forth trying to get a good look. Then they danced a little and then....
they fluffed their wings and oh how it was amazing!!
-------
The flamingos loved him.
-------
I haven't laughed so hard in years.
-------
I slept in until noon today!
I never sleep in that long!
The stressful times must be catching up to me.
-------
Michael has inspired me to drink more tea.
And in a way he tought me how to read my emotions through drinking tea, which is pretty sweet actually.
What a clever man.

One Night To Speed Up Truth

"I just want to be a travelling artist-vagabond
bound on love and ideals,
floating along with merely lovers and sound."
Why should we live our lives like we're supposed to?
Why not live life like we want to...

Memory's Here To Stay....

Last night was really exciting. Lyss, Eric, Jessie and I went to the park with some acoustics and a camera and just lived the life we figure is rockin. I love them.
-------
We went to McDonalds - my second time this week!! - wait... third!
And it's such an addiction!
Cheese burgers - oh- man.
I mean it just tastes so good. But then like any other addiction, it makes you feel rotten.
But then the next day, or even the next time you're just hungry, you want it again!
<3
-------
I got to see Graham again today :)
He's.... the best.
And I must say... looks spectacular in Aviators ;)
-------
Shout out to Alyssa hOtt.
Love!
haha

Rozalia Bizzare

I was so excited for tonight.
Unfortunately, God had other things in mind... again.
Not that I'm blaming God for the natural disaster.
But come on... give me a break just once... PLEASE!
Really, I was so excited.
-------
Last night Lyss picked me up from work and we met up with Eric and Jessie for a bit.
Then Jessie left us (tear) and Eric joined us for a trip down memory lane.
It was lots of fun... and made me tear at times.
Man. I'm gonna miss em good.
-------
Doesn't it always seem you meet some of the greatest people when you don't have much time to spend with them?
For example... this guy I met a few years back at our bonfire... coolest kid ever! Still think about him to this day.... but I haven't seen him since.
Or going to a weekend event and meeting someone totally awesome, good looking, funny, whatever... and after those few days you split and never see them again.
And now that I'm moving... I'm meeting all these awesome people,
but I'm only here for like.... 3 more weeks and then I'm gone!!
It's sad.
-------
If any of you have ideas of what I could do once I get to Ottawa, please let me know.
I'm stumped.

I Don't Care What They Think About Me

... Jesus I long to see your face...
-------
I will never stop praisin' you... for all the things you've done for me... and I'll be yours forever... Jesus you're everything to me...
-------
Whoaaa life is nuts!!
It's so very confusing when your biggest plans get ruined and you've got no plan b. For example... NOT getting in to the only college you applied for...
When I got my letter on Friday all my plans for my new life (life after moving to Ottawa) suddenly wouldn't work out... and now what? I really have no clue!
-------
But I'm so excited and on a high.... the year is mine! Who knows what will happen... maybe college isn't where I'm supposed to be. Maybe running around screaming Jesus love songs on the downtown streets is more important... or feeding crazy kids who long to know the real meaning of life and giving them something to look forward to in their futures... or painting and taking photos... who knows!!! Not knowing what is going to happen is the scariest, most exciting and adrenaline rushing feeling ever!!
-------
...You are the way, the truth and the light... I live by faith and NOT by sight...
-------
The camp this weekend was so awesome! All the dead dandelions were blowing and covering everything in the camp... the whole ground looked like it was covered in snow and the forest was so mystical! I've never seen so much fluff falling from the sky... like God was having a pillow fight with his angels haha. And the lake was extra pretty for some reason... it was high and peaceful. Camp truly is one of my favourite places ever. I always feel alive there...
-------
Laura Brown. Fil. What a crazy child! Her passion for the Army has always inspired me. We were talking this weekend about how cool it would be to go into uniform..... original style! With the bonnet and the old tunics... so awesome! I wouldn't be surprised if she actually found one and wore it to every event possible... including regular classes haha.
-------
Being an Army kid gets confusing... well, for me anyway. Love or hate? Depending on the moment.... it could be either. Right now... I'm so inlove. The Salvation Army is in my blood... it's my culture and I'm proud. There are times when I want to get as far away as possible, but we all know you can't escape who you are. I'm an Officer's Kid. An O.K. And I wouldn't give it up for anything.
-------
My challenge for you for today: think about where you are in your life, if you love where you're going, or if there's something you can change so that in 5, 10, 15 years, you'll still love where you're going, and where you've been.
