List up to ten (10) things you want to say to ten (10) different people. Do not state who these people are.
1. I'm so scared, because I don't know what life is going to be like without you being minutes or seconds away.
2. I always thought that a "soulmate" was the person you were supposed to marry, but now I know the latter. You're my Marie away from Marie. That's why we'll never, ever, lose eachother. If I've ever taken you for granted, it wasn't intentional, and I'm so proud to have someone as talented, warm-hearted, and unselfish as you as my best friend.
3. I wish I could be more like you in every way, shape, and form. You have no idea how much I miss you and am going to miss you even more. I'm so scared we are going to fizzle away and only have memories, even though we both know how to keep that from happening.
4. You condemn those who judge you, but all you do is judge others. Your not always fucking right, and your negative attitude against the world will only make you die younger. I don't think I'll ever live up to your standards as a person no matter how hard I try.
5. I've only done my best to be there for you, but you never want to turn to me. It sucks that you will never look at me as a friend as you do others. I'm tired of you being my best buddy around a crowd, but my worst when there lacks a crowd. Either I'm your friend, or I'm not.
6. I don't know why it happened in the first place, and I still wonder what life would be like now if it did. Even though it's for the very best, I think about you daily.
7. It sucks that we'll never be closer because of her. I never let it affect you and I, so you shouldn't either. I feel more like you put up with me rather than want to be around me. Stop putting up a front and tell me what you really think so we can both feel better instead of living a lie. Believe it or not, I want you and I to be as close of friends as you her once were.
8. You have no idea how much you hurt me. And it sucks even more that I can't express it to you, because you will only be on the defense.
9. I'm so TIRED of working my butt off to be that friend that I would want you to be to me, but I barely even get an effort from you. Stop taking my friendship for granted.
10. Even so, I don't know where I would be if I didn't have all of you. You guys know who you are. |

Day 3: More freaking shopping....But I finished today!! I got some great stuff for the fam!!
Had to go to church...but when we got there Jess asked if we wanted to go caroling with Sweet Sweet Spirit (our church singing group) at the Hospital. So we did. It was really bittersweet. Bitter in the fact that all those people are couped up in those rooms so close to Christmas. But sweet, because the family members and patients that did have to be there really appreciated us coming around and singing for them. Somehow we ended up in ICU, and saw a naked man being bathed. Shut those windows folks, for real. We also went to the emergency room to sing, which I wasn't to keen on. There were folks bleeding, and pregnant teenagers ready to pop (not surprising in West Memphis), and I could tell that these people didn't want to be sung to and see all of our healthy selves smiling and joyful. They just wanted some medical help without having to wait. Rick was leading the way, so we just followed where he led. I don't think he was thinking though.
Afterwards, Jess came over and helped me wrap the mounds of presents sitting in my bedroom. Luckily, my room is the wrapping station this year. It was a nice way for us to catch up.
Day 4: Bet you can guess, I shopped again. This time with Mother. We got some cousins taken care of, Marie's all done, and I got to pick out some stuff for me. And guess who I freaking ran in to. DA TWAY. Mother and I walk into journey's, and I hear "Laura Pokorski". What are the chances. I was looking real pretty. I just don't like to get fancied up while I'm at home unless its necessary. Didn't think I run into anyone at the Oak Court Mall. I was hoping we'd get to hang out a little while he was in town. Negative.
Mother and I decided that we wanted to see Harry Potter. We decided to call my cousin Nick (stripper cousin's son) and see if he wanted to go. My cousin is a dorky little kid. He used to be cool when Mother and Marie and I helped raise him while NeeNaw was in the hospital and his Mom had run out on him. I love my aunt and uncle, but they just need to let the kid experience life. We ended up seeing Chicken Little because He can't watch PG movies, and can't watch Harry Potter because it contains Witchcraft. It's such bull. Anyways, it was a cute movie, and short, thank God.
Day 5: I'm cleaning and getting ready to head back to Conway so I can work in the morning. Hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas! |

Home for Christmas....
Day 1: Went Christmas Shopping all morning long!! We scaled the Wolfchaise Gallery, Left to Right and Top to Bottom. We didn't go into every store...but we made it to probably 2/3 of them. And, surprisingly enough, I got pretty much nowhere. We ran into Lindsey Grable, Clarissa Vaughn, and Lauren Minton there. Wierd!! They were just taking a day to go shopping in Memphis, check out a new atmosphere, and drove 2 and half hours to do it! I also saw a few of my favorite former junior high cheerleaders including Meagan my "little sister". That was fun :)
Later we went to my Grandmother's house to help her decorate for Christmas. She only wanted us to do her tree, but we didn't want to stop there. We pulled every last bit of Christmas decor out of the boxes and found SOMEWHERE to put it. She's so freaking hilarious. I put these two wreaths up on this platform, knowing it was tacky as hell, but I underestimated her in thinking that she would love it anyways. She slowly edged her way in the room, peeked around the door, and laughed. She said that was the tackiest thing she had ever seen. My Grandma has great taste, even at the age of 80. She pulled the "girls, if there are any of these decorations you want to have after I pass, I want you to start thinking about it now so we can put your name on them in the next couple of years" card. You all probably know my feelings on that note, so I'm not gonna say anything further.
I'm having trouble finding the Christmas Spirit this year. I do believe it is there. I'm doing everything I can to focus on the giving and family part of it, and I am more than looking foward to Christmas day. I get to watch Keydon open presents for the first time!! I can't wait!
Didn't go to bed till like 2AM. Reasons Avoidable....and scene....
Did I mention Hollister's is my new favorite store??
5 days of Christmas with Mother started last night with watching "White Christmas". It is such a good movie! Bing Crosby is hot, and Rosemary Clooney has a really cool voice.
Day 2: MORE SHOPPING! But I'm done!! We visited a few more stores in Wolfchaise (GAP, Eddie Bauer, Gymboree, Victoria's Secret, and New York and Company), had La La Ree Ree time at Chilis for lunch, and hit Bed Bath and Beyond, Old Navy, Sports Authority, Stein Mart, and Target. I'm so glad I'm done. Tommorrow, I'm not gonna do anything but wrap my gifts.
Day 2 of Five Days of Christmas with Mother included decorating the front of the house with lights. Good times, and cold asses. The house looks so nice though!!
I think Trey is coming to Marion tommorrow! I hope we get to hang out....chances are we won't get iced in again. |

| You Are A Blueberry Martini | 
You are a eclectic drink - liking to change drinks and venues often.
You are usually the first of your friends to find a cool new dive bar or cocktail.
You should never: Drink mystery drinks strangers hand you. Unless you want to wind up in foreign country.
Your ideal party: Is mobile, hopping from party to party.
Your drinking soulmates: Those with an Orange Martini personality.
Your drinking rivals: Those with a Chocolate Martini personality. |

Where do I start. I'm sitting here in my apartment working on these damn readings for Music History that I should have been doing all sememster long that are due by noon tommorrow. God I could kick myself. I feel like I'm right back in that rut that I was in when I was with Neal my sophomore year. I don't want to do anything anymore. I just want to go home. I'm miserable...that's just it. I am...yet I know exactly what I want...but I'm scared to lose what I have. I don't like to make decisions unless I'm sure about them, and I'm positive about one of the decisions, and quasi-sure about the other. The quasi part is exactly what is holding me back. And in the process, I may lose something I want a lot. I can only pray to God that he'll lead me in the right direction. I don't pray anymore. I've lost all sight in turning to God whether it be for help, or even thanking him for what he has blessed me with.
And for some reason, I'm here alone questioning whether or not I have true friends. I know I do, I just wish they were all here with me right now so I can have the motivation to do what I need to do. Yes, I depend on people that much. Sallie knows I love her, and had a blast with her this weekend when she came down. Trey's next door on the phone with Bradley, and even though he's still here, I miss him. Bob isn't far, but he's so busy with his scholarly life that it's hard to see him or stop by his house without fearing you're holding him back from being productive.He doesn't make you feel like that, that's my own personal fear. He does his shit and likes to get it done without distraction. Jeremy's gone to a party with Louis, and well, I just don't feel like I can talk to Louis anymore.
Let me talk about Bob a minute. I cannot for the life of me believe that we have been such good friends this long. Well, I can, but the relationship I have with Bob is one I may never have with any of my other friends. It's peculiar really. He's never opened up to me. Never. I don't really know his inner thoughts about life unless I read them on his LJ. We're very close in our own special way, and that's really good enough for me. Maybe it's the memories we've shared of going through adolescence together. Maybe its the fact that he was my first kiss, and you never forget your first kiss, and how glad I am that it was with him and not some random guy I'll regret giving my kissing virginity to. We have grown up together mentally, emotionally, and physically. I'm just so proud of him and his accomplishments. For 8 years, we have managed to hang around the same people in high school, date in high school, gone to the same college, have the same friends in college, worked at two different places together in college, and live next door to eachother in college. Now I get to watch him walk and accept his diploma on Saturday, and I assure you, the tears will be flowing. I love you Bob!
That's in my mind right now. |

It is taking everything in my physical and mental power to keep my nose in my Music History Book. It's also taking the rest of my physical and mental power to not pick up my cell phone and punch in "Where are you" and press send. This is the longest amount of time that we've gone without speaking.
I want to go home.... |

A huge chapter in my life just ended. A very dramatic one. I can't go into details. God I wish it wasn't today. I always say take things one step a time. Just one. That's what I'm doing. It's time to focus...but this...will always be in the back of my mind and my heart. It never was a game. I never meant for it to go this far. I do hope that it will happen....some day....Please God...someday. I never write dramatic posts...you guys know that. Don't ask questions. I'm ok. I needed to get this out, for my own reasons. |

what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
all of the things that I want to say
just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping inwards
you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
cause it's you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
there's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
everything she does is beautiful
everything she does is right
you and me and all of the people
with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive |

It's been a very nice day. Besides the fact that I can feel the sick coming on (I knew I'd get it sooner or later).
News Break: I'm first chair symphonic band baby! That's a chair away from Wind Ensemble. Hell yeah I'm pumped. However, I'm a little ticked that Mary and company that went to SC this weekend had an extra day and half to practice. Mary is a better player than I am, and she's a practicer, however I practiced my little butt off, so I can't help but wonder if maybe if Mary didn't have the extra day and a half if I would be in Wind Ensemble right now. I'm not gonna raise hell about it, but it just leaves me wondering, and I HATE that.
I got a new ghetto fabulous car. Seriously, I hated it at first. I mean I know I was the stupid one in the wreck and I'm so thankful that my parents got me a new something with wheels, so I was going to take whatever I could get with a motor and that moved. I miss my Accent. It was my car. No one else had driven it. No one else had touched it. It was my baby. I guess I sound spoiled when I say I was a little upset with my pre-owned vehicle. I like want to put hand sanitizer on every time I touch the steering wheel. But, the more I drive it, and look at it, and play with my CD player and 12 Disc CD changer, and pop down the little sunglasses holder, I smile to myself. I feel bad because I had the wreck and I get the car with all the perks (Marie doesn't have power locks and windows), however she's perfectly happy with hers. I'm just so blessed that my parents do what they do for me. By no means am I spoiled, they provide when I need providing, and for that i'm lucky.
I went and got all my crap I had left in my wrecked car. The blessed towing guy pulled it all out for me before it got hauled off to the salvage place. He even took my license plates off! Good to have my stuff back.
I saw Sallie today! She stopped by on her way back to Memphis. Met Topsy (I really like her). It's always good to see Sal. She called me as soon as she got in her car and told me that right when she turned on the car Coldplay was playing whatever song and the first three words that came on from the song were "I miss you". OMG I miss her. I've always known she and I were best friends, but I can see our special relationship has become even more special even though she's far away. I have no doubt in my mind that we will be friends for a long long time.
I made the mistake of going to Wal Mart today. I saw Tory (my Marion hairdresser) and we talked a long time. She is freaking awesome. Saw Penny (Megan's mom, the girl I taught cheer lessons to) and we talked for 15 minutes. Saw Adam and Taylor Clay and called Adam Taylor. (oops) I think I was just in shock of the fact that Adam practically flagged me down to say hi (when most days he acts too cool to so much as look at me). I didn't care, I laughed at me.
It was a nice past couple of weeks, and BTW, Trey's pregnant!! I love you DA TWAY! |

Maybe I shouldn't have turned this song on. Ya know, "Luckiest" by Ben Folds. I had the oppurtunity to go home this weekend and have thanksgiving with my family. I'm trying with everything in my power to not let the fact that my Grandmother can't even walk around by herself anymore get me down everyday. Ya'll just have no idea. My grandmother has allowed me to experience things in this world that I can't even explain. She took Marie and I all sorts of places so we could have a fun filled childhood and was always so eager for us to learn so many things about the world and life. I don't even look at her like she's 80. She's like my best friend. I've told her anything and everything about my life and my experiences growing up. She's never judged me or belittled me. She just listened in amazement at what the worlds teenages are experiencing in this day in age. Now she can't even remember things I tell her 10 minutes ago. She and I were watching Keydon at some point this weekend, talking about how precious she is, and she said to me, "I hope that I'm still around when you have your baby, Laura." How do you react when one of your best friends says something like that to you. Bless Trey's heart, he just came in and saw me in tears. I need to go talk to him.... |

I just don't have the time every night to sit here and tell you all who read this about my every day life! I barely have time once a month! But....
Happy Halloween! God I love this day. I'm not sure why...maybe its the kickoff to the holiday season. Maybe it's the one night that it's actually ok to put on a mask and be someone you're not and people not judge you. Well, they may if you're dressed in a hoochie costume and shouldn't be. There's just no other feeling than stepping out of yourself and being another character in a play or musical. I wish I could be more active in the theater department here. Theater has been a huge part of my life since I was born, and I just don't have the time. I'm glad my friends are so involved so they keep me updated. By the way, Complete kudos to you Bob, Sal, and Trey on the costumes in Liasons. I only saw the first like 7 scenes, but they were just fantastic. The set was fantastic. I wish I could have seen the whole thing.
I've been SO PRODUCTIVE TODAY!! I tore into my Music History Test and ripped it a new one, and I got the balls to ask Dr. Dickinson if he could bump the Theory Test to Monday because of the band people going to Arkansas Tech on Thursday. He said that would be a possibility. The band people in my class were very grateful for my balls. :) After Music History I went to Old Navy to pick up my paycheck and deposited it and paid my parking tickets so I could register. Unfortunatley, I couldn't register today because something is wrong with my loan stuff. I shouldn't have lost my scholarship my first semester in school. STILL kicking myself for that. Now I'm trying to keep the 1000 dollars I got back this year. I'm gonna be in school till the Spring of 2008. Some days, I'm ok with that. Other days, I'm so tired of going to class. Most days, I'm glad I'm not hitting the real world yet. I've got the rest of my life to teach. But I cannot wait to get in a classroom and teach the kiddies music!! Man I'm pumped! This change in my major has been the best decision for me. I can feel it. So what if I'll be paying loans for years to come or will be in school a total of 7 years. Anyways, got off the topic. I did half of my McGamut 5 assignment without any mistakes, and got to watch a Wicked performance on Martha Stewart's talk show. I was disapointed we had to cancel guard bc of the rain. I had this huge urge to spin even though we're all close to being burnt out. However, I got a lot done today during the 3:00 and 5:00 hours. After band me, Jeremy, Trey, Neal, and Ree ate in the student center, and then Ben tutored me in theory. God bless his heart, I'm just not good at theory, but I think he helped me quite a bit, and He had no idea how much I appreciate him helping me. I just get so frustrated with myself. Anyways, I feel much better about intervals.
Guard really has been great this year, minus the three weeks I went home from band almost in tears. Since we had a game the very first week of school, we've just been crazy busy and stressed. We had fantastic performances at the Open and on Family Day. When the crowd gives us those standing ovations, there's just no other feeling better than that. I'm so proud of the band. The band directors that were at the Open just were amazed at the band by word to Dr. Brooks. Tech's got something coming to them. Of course our guard has always been better than their guard. :) I must say I'm SO PUMPED about next year. We've already started talking about uniform ideas for the Pirates theme (hopefully we're still doing it). I'm just ready to be captain without the co. No offense to Christina at all. We've had a lot fun this year, and I just don't think I'm completley ready for it to end. Marching Band is pretty much the reason I get up in the morning. Teaching guard is what I spend most of my time doing or thinking about. We're so doing Winterguard this year. TBS will be much easier for me since I have the education program pretty much lined out already. We won't compete this year, but by golly we're gonna perform. I really hope we get a large number of newbies next year. Hopefully many with rifle experience since we may be losing 3. I'm so happy knowing that all I want to do the rest of my life is teach music and colorguard. I always used to be upset because I didn't have a true passion. But now I really know that I do.
I'll stop rambling....it's been a while! |
