Hey yall!!
Well, I just got back from the first public showing of our play "It's A Wonderful Life" and it was fab!! We all did really well and the audience really loved it. I do have a point here though. I seem to have a problem with my attitude towards things. I always approach things very negativly saying things like "I can't wait till this is over." or "This is going to suck." the thing is, it usually doesn't.
Take this play for instance. I got to school this afternoon and I was so bitter and nasty towards the whole thing when I should have remembered that acting is one of my favorite things to do and I'm not bad at it. I doesn't matter how bad something is as long as I make up my mind to have a positive attitude, no one can take that away from me.
I'm going to try and approach thigns in a little better light now. Maybe if I switch angles a bit the whole situation could benifit from it.

twelve wishes they were me!- journal 13
Good afternoon...
Well today I have had a sort of no bueno day just because I am so rediculously tired and friends are acting oddly and it's just been....one of those. Between this dad gum play and cheerleading and school and dance and doctors appointments i am stretched so thin. I don't know how I'm going to handle it. In the middle of all the growning I realized that this just might be a lesson =].
Sometimes we feel like we are the supreme being. We handle everything ourselves, we never admit that we aren't hurcules. Very not good. I think God is kinda teaching me to lay down my burdens, he WILL take care of everything. The power of prayer is so much more intense than anything I could do myself. I now know that by me stressing out and trying to fix everything I'm only getting in God's way because his plan for me might just be more amazing than anything I could ever "fix."

yes, i know, number 12
Hola
yes I realize this is two posts in one day but i have two things to say today!! i really hope this counts =]]
so today i was talking with my mom about how suicide can affect someone and you never know what's really inside someone's heart when you say things to them. now i'm a very sensitive person and i get emotional pretty much over everything but this really hits me.
these days you can walk down the halls of a school and wonder if that girl that's walking alone and has a frown will be alive the next day. life is such a fragile thing and it's both a gift and a curse. i really would like to make this journal about how we seriously need to evaluate our fellow earthlings(hee hee). if you see someone having a bad day, tell them how pretty they look, ask them to eat lunch with you. it's a small step to showing them how much God really loves them, even if it may seem like no one else does.
also, if you happen to read this and you have a self esteem problem, firstly, i would love to be your friend =]] but also, you are such a beautiful work of art. you are so intricatly crafted and you stand out among the rest.

jour-jour el eb en (11)
Aey bay bays...
so today I was thinking alot about rules. i honestly look at some rules both in school, and at home and can't understand someof them. today i was really examining rules. thinking about what they're around for. i realized that although some rules really are ridiculous, others are ment to protect you. the desire to do something so badly only clouds your vision from seeing that a rule is there to keep you from doing that because it's not something good. it can ultimatly harm you and may provide the joy in the moment but tears for a lifetime. i challenge everyone my age to seriously think about rules. don't be the narrowminded teenager everyone thinks you are. be open minded and understanding towards these guidelines because we never consider the situation we could be in if they didn't exsist.

diez, ten, dix. JOURNAL 10
Holla homies!!
I'll be keeping this journal short and sweet. Today we had play practice again as our play is tomorrow and I'm ver upset at myself. I tried every last thing I could to get out of it. I litterally spent more time trying to get out of this thing then just hammering through and getting it done. Barzon. I know this isn't exactly what you would call an elaborate blog but you get the point right?? I really hopw I can start to live the way God wants me to. I'm not being so courageous so far.

courage journal nine
life
what??
it slips through our fingers
even sometimes at our own will.
life
why??
why end such a precious gift
a hand crafted work of art
life
where??
where did the love for your family or me go
why didn't you talk to me
life. look at the beautiful workings of our bodies. the way or heart pumps blood at exactly the right pace, the way every blood vesel and nerve is intertwined to do exactly what it's supposed to. why end that prematurely?? god didn't want this for you. god doesn't want it for anyone. we are his children. we should come to him. we should lay all our problems on him.

tell me...what is this journal 8 you speak of...??
And she'll have fun fun fun till her daddy takes the t-bird away!!
Man you just can't help but dance around and look like an idiot when you hear a beach boys song =]]
So today presented itself with a chance at courage through perserverance. I had to spend 7 HOURS at school on a saturday!! I know. I haven't yet figured out how I made it out alive. I was there because our drama performance class has our production "It's A Wonderful Life" in about a week and it's crunch time so to speak.
Honestly, It was terrible. seven hours in a tight skirt, pill box hat (which was permanantly attached to my head by the evil weapon....bobby pins), and heel's was no bueno to say the least. At the end of the day everyone was completely worn out and not one of us was in a good mood. Including Kristen (or my alter ego-Miss Carter).
Just thinking back and wondering if I could have made the whole situation better by being in a better mood and dealing with everything in a more mature and pleasent fashion. It makes me upset at myself because one person being in a better mood could have made everything run alot smoother.
Well, It's off to bed. I'm wiped. Have a wonderful day!!
