umm...

I keep waiting to blog until I do something of importance.
But nothing's happening.



Must.
Do.
Something.



Here's a piggy bank I colored, and star I made.
My first homemade something.
I was/am proud. :]


[the other side has a sun and rainbow c: ]




I start at Pudding House on Tuesday.
Hopefully.



yay stuff!!!

Everything's changing.

In a way I'm okay with that...
I mean, that is what life's all about right?
Learning, growing, changing...

Although another part of me misses
what used to be; the friends that I've lost
contact with, the way I looked at the world
like all was good, and evil was just a fable.
Not to mention the lack of any major responsibility.


But to be honest... when it comes down to it,
I wouldn't trade this for anything.

back home

it's strange how easy it is to adapt to a different schedule-- a different routine. and how once you leave that routine how hard it is to fall back into the norm. because once you know what it's like to live that different life, you don't want to fully let it go.

it's been a weird past day and a half. everything feels different somehow. i still haven't fully unpacked, except for my clothes..which still aren't put away...

i feel like i have to get back down there and do more. i need to do more. don't get me wrong, though-- i love being home. i get to be around my family, friends and all of the crap i've accumulated in the past 18 years. i got to catch up with people and it's been nice. ...but there's just something different that i can't really place.

....i don't know. maybe it's just the gray skies getting me down.

Tornado hits downtown Atlanta.

and another storm is about to hit within the next hour. they're predicting grapefruit sized hail-- although i'm kind of thinking that's an exaggeration. Last night was crazy. Windows were blown out of tall buildings and billboards were ripped down. That rarely ever happens in a big city-- a tornado, I mean.


Today was Dedication Day. The Mendezes finally have their home. Although there's still some work to do, that's how it always is with builds. But it looks amazing. And they are so incredibly happy.


I got numbers and e-mail addresses and tons of hugs. It was nice. I'm going to miss these people so much.

i wish i could describe every single feeling
that is rushing through my veins,
but i can't.

sorry.

aahhhh...

my mom's driving down here tomorrow, and we're leaving on Sunday =]
i'm exxccciiitttteedddddddd :D



anywho... :-)

I had to work an extra day at the house yesterday so we could catch up. It was snowing and freezing last saturday, so we couldn't get any of the painting done outside. But we're all caught up now and the house looks so great! It seems like we'd need another day, though. =\ We still have a bit to do, or so it seems. i 'unno.

Yesterday was nice. It was 67 degrees and the sun was shining and it was just perfect. I had to get on the roof... which was terrifying. I didn't think it looked that steep. but oh my. I also got to take pictures that looked like they turned out good. but i haven't been on my computer to really look closely at them. [i'll post some later if i like 'em.]

i'm going to the store in twenty minutes for my last day, Friday i need to pack and make sure i have all of my math caught up, saturday is the Last Build =[ and sunday i'm leaving.

good-bye, sir

I can feel myself clawing to hold on to every detail--
every word spoken; every face.

but it's impossible. and it's leaving
this raw, hopeless feeling in my gut.

and i find myself dreading the day i leave
behind all of these incredible people.

i don't want to.

i don't want to forget one single thing,
yet i'm already struggling to remember
that one joke that one guy told that one
day oh-so-long-ago.


not only that, but i know that
i, too, will be forgotten.

and if everybody forgets,
who's left to remember?

[i just realized that all three pictures
are of dogs.... >.> oh well]

Bleck...

I'm tired now.

We went to D.C. this week. That was fun. Some plans fell through, but that's okay. In the end eveything was good and I had an overall great time. We left on Saturday after the build, rushed to the airport, got back last night. i worked the 9-4 shift today, and get to wake up at 6 tomorrow so i can build! Woo! =]
...

Except we're supposed to get flurries and the high is 30. That's our coldest day yet. oh well..

I also saw Free today. He gave me a hug.

Man... I miss hugs =[ I don't get near enough now a days.

And when I do, they're just puny little side hugs... Not full on

let-me-crush-your-lungs hugs.

But only 1 more week ^.^ Hurrah!

I'm ready.

i got 4 letters yesterday =]
they were good letters.

I don't really like that picture...
but the tree was awesome.
