Okay everyone I have one word for you:
VOTE.
Please?
Here's what you do. Go here : http://www.kduk.com/pages/morning_house_party_chino and scroll down a little. On the right there's a voting bar thing. Vote for Rebecca! Multiple times if you please. And yeah, that's all you gotta do! Of course, you can listen to her too if you want, but it doesn't do her justice. Okay. DO IT.
DO IT NOW.
Thanks! :]
Heeey! Yup, it's me. I'm posting again, aren't I a good girl?
Well, let's see. I had training for Camp Harlow Saturday-Monday! And it was all day Saturday and Monday. Yeah, exhausting! I'm still pretty tired but not too much so. However, my little brother very thoughtfully *cough cough* invited three of his friends over. And one of them brought a puppy. And my mom very thoughtfully *cough COUGH* let them come. But oh well! No complaining from me, that's for sure! Hehe.
But yeah, the training was a lot of fun. I got to see friends I haven't seen since last year (or just not for a long time) and some of my best friends are working there for the first time this year! So I'm really glad about that.
What else am I doing? Well right now I'm listening to music. Currently playing is Blame It On The Rain by He Is We. I don't know if anybody cares, but whatever. It has...significant meaning. And memories! :)
Oh I'd also like to say that I was very thankful for the person in my cabin at Harlow who was playing We The Kings while we cleaned and got ready for stuff. I forgot how much I liked them! But now I remember. And it's all good.
Aaaahhhhh! While on the topic of We The Kings, I have recently been informed that they have a free show in Eugene on Monday! Wow, I want to go sooo bad. Doubt it's gonna happen, though. *sigh*
Oh wow, this song just came on...ahhahahaha. Oh wait! Darn it. I'm trying to stop rambling, riiiight. Yeah, I'm going to be trying to make my posts have more...oh what was the word? Point? Yeah I guess that's it. So for now I'm just rambling. But unless people like it, I'm going to try and actually post well. Okay, that's all for now I guess! Bye. :]
Oh, and HAPPY SUMMER!! <3
WHOA! Lookie here, I'm posting!
Yes. I am alive. I am not dead. I am actually doing perfectly fine. I just haven't been in the mood for writing lately!
I know, I know, it's terrible. Especially for someone who considers herself a write. I don't even know if I should anymore! I haven't legitly (yes, legitly) written anything in a LONG. TIME. Ugh. I need to re-find my muse! My inspiration! Or maybe I should just write WITHOUT it. But I hate doing thaaaat...
OKAY!!! Megan. Enough whining. Get yourself together! Let's see. What's up with me? Well, seeing as how I haven't posted since the end of March... A FREAKING LOT. Yup. But for now, I have to go do chores and then watch MONK! Woot woot! So ttfn. I'll try and keep posting!!!!!! :]
(this is a little thing I wrote to update everyone about my trip. it was a lot of fun making it!)
My sunburn turned into a tan!!
After leaving Trent church,
the bus broke down three times
1: not too long
2: found a lodge
3: Yreka Ray's!
Back on the road
we're all friends now
drove through the night smoothly
besides the stinky smell
plus some smoke
but it's all cool.
Oh, and my sunburn turned into a tan!!
Arrived in Mexico on Saturday
a little behind schedule
but still not too late
Sunday morning the worksite was a surprise
there was a still a house
where there shouldn't have been.
We talked it over
and being the kindhearted people that we are,
we couldn't give it up.
Even offering to give up
on going to Knott's Berry Farm.
We just couldn't leave that family.
Helped them move out all their stuff
the old house was a sorry sight
it made me even more thankful
for what we did for them.
Plus, my sunburn turned into a tan!!
Building and building
for 4 days
we really did a lot of work,
more than we expected
and still, we finished the house.
Parting was a sad time,
lots of people cried
I didn't, but then again
I'm not much for crying in public
I felt like crying, though.
When we drove away
Michael was waving
with tears streaming down his cheeks
I wish them all the best
and I know that everyone will miss him
and all of them.
Driving got us back to our
regular happy selves
and soon we were at a church gym
excited to be taking real showers!
We also did devotions
revealed our prayer partners
everyone had nice things said about them.
There was a bit of a damper on things
what with the situation
with John
but still, everything was awesome.
And then the fun day!
Best fun day ever
at Knott's Berry Farm
we didn't need to give it up after all
since we're such hard and fast workers
we built the house in time.
Everyone loved the fun day
and we all wrote about it
in Esther's journal
I'm a wimp and went on the little rides
but my brave friends went on a lot more.
After that, more and more driving,
with lots of fun pranks
on the people who were sleeping in the back of the bus
until eventually we were back at Trent church
with family and friends waiting
to greet us.
they really missed us.
And even though we missed them,
I think everyone was kind of sad
to be home again
and it was a sad parting.
Everyone got to know each other
really really well
and I made a ton of new friends
who I still miss
and can't wait to hang out with again.
But it was a great trip,
and a life-changing experience.
Oh, and
did I mention that my burn turned into tan?
Oh my goodness. I seriously do not know where to start. So many things have happened and I've changed so much, even in just the past week. It's so crazy.
I suppose you should know (SHOULD...) that I went to Mexico over spring break! I got home today. I didn't want the trip to end... I miss all those people so much. Even though I'm going to see most of them tomorrow! Haha.
Anyway, I'm really hungry but I just wanted to explain one thing:
The new playlist (called Mexico Playlist) consists of songs that were played repeated and/or have meaning from the trip. So, as much as I didn't want to put Tik Tok on there, I HAD TO! Okay that's all. I'm done. Bye!
Overcome with grief and emotion
overwhelmed with bitterness and desire
can I help that I'm only human?
Overcome with sadness and longing
overwhelmed with trying to hide
can I help that I'm only human?
Will you help me find my voice?
It felt like summer today. =)
I love days that feel like summer. But nothing can beat summer itself!
Days that feel like summer make me so happy. They make me feel light and carefree, not a trouble in the world. Like I could FLY. Of course I always have to come crashing down to earth, but I don't mind.
I even wrote a poem about it! Crazy, I know. But anyway, here it is.
It feels like summer
My favorite season
When the grass is green
The sky is bright
And all I need is a daydream.
Yeah, not the best, I know. But it's satisfying to write stuff like that down, you know? That's actually why I'm even still posting on this blog, since nobody actually reads it anymore... Oh well.
I live for days like these.
Yeah, right now I'm listening to Two Is Better Than One by Boys Like Girls (featuring Taylor Swift!), hence the title. Yup yup. It's pretty good!
I promised I would be posting later today, and so I am. Yay! I'm so responsible! Anyway. I got back from my sister's house a little while, she invited me over to watch Sabrina. The newer one, not the one with Audrey Hepburn. And not Sabrina the teenage witch, Sabrina the chauffeur's daughter. Know what movie I'm talking about? Anyway, I hadn't seen that version before, and it was good. And it had Harrison Ford in it! :D LOL, he's pretty cool.
So, I've been pretty busy lately. One thing... I'm going to Mexico! Yeah!! I'm going with some people from my youth group and from Trent Church of Christ; going during Spring Break; gonna build a house (AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... inside joke there). Did I forget anything? Well, I'm really excited. The whole trip only costs 250 dollars, and 100 or so of that is for a fun day. So Yeah I'm pretty happy about that. I had two fundraisers that I worked at already; one on Friday, and one on Saturday. I had a REALLY busy weekend, but more about that later. Anyway, yeah, on Friday I went with Mike (the man in charge of our group) and two other guys who are going on the trip, Blake and Kyle. Oh, and Blake is my cousin's evil twin. Yeah. Anyway, we went and helped clean out this lady's garage and back yard, and washed a car, and did stuff. I earned a lot of money from that. Then on Saturday I went to my church and helped make decorations and then went to the other fundraiser with some of my friends who are also going on the trip.... okay, I'll stop putting in all these details. Anyway, it was a car wash and bake sale, so I helped wash cars for two hours. It was pretty fun, actually. And then on Sunday (Valentine's Day, YUCK) there was a potluck after church, and then me and my parents went up to Washington where I got to hang with my awesome (and weird) cousins. OH, and I got to go see The Lightening Thief! Yeah I was SOOOO happy about that. And it was really good to. See it. Do it. Now.
Well, yeah, I've been busy!! That's basically it. More updates later. Toodle-oo! =)
Okay, I'm going to post later today, I promise. But right now is school time, so I can't. I just wanted to share this short story that I wrote several years ago. I wrote it while we were on vacation at the beach, and I was sitting on a boulder overlooking the ocean. I remember being really proud of this story, I even read it out loud to all my relatives who were there with us. Anyway, here it is, more later today. (And I haven't edited this, so there are some problems with it. But I was pretty young)
Living Life.
By Megan, Age 10
The nighttime surrounds me, and I cry for help. My eyes try to make out figures in the darkness, but all I see is black. My eyes scan the darkness another time, but they grow tired. I hear a sound, and jump back. Am I safe, or will my death be soon? I grope around, feeling for a body. I feel a burn, and then something pricks my hand. I gasp, thinking of what could have happened. Was it a mere rose thorn, or was I bitten by a poisonous snake, or scorpion? I am afraid to touch it in case I draw in more venom.
Then I take a step forwards, and trip. I choke on sand, but then I stand up. Oh! I see a ray of light. Thinking good thoughts, I stumble towards the light. Then I step into the ray, and it becomes morning.
The light shines all around me. A soothing voice comforts me. As my eyes grow accustomed to the brightness of the morning, I hear singing, like the beautiful voices of a thousand angels. I take a step towards the music, then back into my safety. Then I gasp, for my eyes are seeing the most wonderful sight known to man: paradise.
As I look down on the unknown paradise, I hear heavenly voices once again. I cannot resist the urge to climb down the bank, and explore. I feel the soft sand on my feet, and hear birds of paradise singing their song. The dune grass is blowing, and I hear the ocean roar. Then, as I turn yet another bend, I see it. Yes - I see the Ocean. The sound is so loud, it seems like thunder. The waves crash upon the shore, scattering the nearby gulls. The colors of the water vary, from blue, to white, to green, and gray. I am so happy that I dance in the pure white sand, singing songs of delight. I finally collapse from exhaustion. I search through the sand, finding sand crabs, and pieces of Jade, and Agate. Then I find a long piece of seaweed and string my many treasures on it, to wear as a necklace.
Then, as I look up, I realize I have been transported to a different place, a tropical island. It is midnight, and I am seated on a cushioned throne with natives all around me. It is late, and I fall asleep to the beating of the natives' drums. Then I wake up, hearing someone call my name. But it is not my real name, Elizabeth. It's a child's voice calling, "Mommy, Mommy!".
Yes, the tropical paradise was all a dream. In reality, I am a mother of 6, not a dream princess. But it is true that life can sometimes be a nightmare, and sometimes a paradise. But, even though the years may come, and the years may go, and I will forget many things, I will never forget my dream, and I will always remember myself as I was in the dream: living, laughing, and loving life.
So, I should have posted on here ages ago, but... I didn't. Whatever. I actually don't really feel like posting right now, either, because my internet time is running out, but I'd just like to say:
I AM NOT DEAD.
