my life's a cup of sugar i borrowed before time began and forgot to return.

i havent updated...
but i have been doing & learning things...
i once felt obligated to write really often... that time is no longer.

picked these next to our house.

my birthday was good.  went and ate sushi in columbus with my family and gregg.
helped out with crossroads youth camp, and learned so much!
found my missing harmonica today... i'd been thinking about it off and on for the past few months.
i have blisters on my fingers from learning to play the guitar i got for my bday.
i have been working painting the outside of the outback steakhouse... when you use sandpaper on the siding, it smells like rotten beef crap. and greasy brown.
i (guess) finished a painting (an atistic one, that is) about a week ago.
i'm going to see charlie and the chocolate factory tomorrow.
i found the most amazing loose leaf tea that comes in teacup bags! so far have tried: indian nimbu, african sun, chinese flower,  & hot cinnamon sunset. all great.
i finally unpacked my car from school abt. 4 days ago.
i went to mohican state park and wandered the trails alone, then sat and read/wrote on the edge of this high stone cliff above a river... beautiful.
i have been on a huge mewithoutYou addiction lately.  their lyrics have tied in like crazy to what i've been reading elsewhere!
i leave for mexico on sunday at 3 am.  i cannot wait.  i am nervous too... it will rock my view of life... awesome.
