Gotta Get Up

"Sometimes you just have to be saved by your friends, and only your friends. Sometimes they are the only ones who are truly there for you, or the only ones you feel like you can talk to about anything. Maybe they are just those that will truly be there with you throughout all the doldrums of life, and throughout all the hellfire that we are put through in this mortal existence. Friends are the best, and there's no doubt about it." -James W. Facer

Here I sit, nearly two weeks since my last post, not even close to better. As some of you may know, these past couple weeks have been an absolute killer on my emotions, my self-esteem, and my usual attitude. I'm going to just flat out say it now... I GOT FRIEND ZONED.
And do you have any idea what that feels like? I guess I'm just taking it differently than I probably should. Everything has just gone wrong these past couple of weeks... other than the whole being friend zoned by someone I deeply care about...
For one thing, I dropped my iPod for the first time in 4 years, and cracked the screen pretty bad. And now here we sit, about two weeks since it happened, and it's only gotten worse. I tried having my dad repair it, because he's done iPod screens before, and they always turned out perfectly fine. WELL, he apparently may have cut a cable or burned something when he was lifting the screen off, and therefore my iPod is a little bit... in limbo, so to speak.

In other news, I got my finger jammed this past week. And to add insult to my injury, it's on my writing hand. And we just started the trimester, so there's a lot of writing and note-taking to be done, and it's sort of hard to do that with my screwed up finger.

There's four things that I can name right now that seem to release any of this stress from my shoulders and make me feel a lot better about myself.
1. Kneeling down and praying every now and again: I've found it hard to take the time out my life and pray to my Father above. *sigh* I need to do it regardless if I'm having a bad day, or anything.
2. Talking to my friends, Rebekah in particular: Now I know some of you guys keep getting confused as to who I really like, and who I used to like. As to with how I feel for Rebekah right now... I'm sort of confused, mixed, and unsure right now. She's the only one that I'm still able to talk to, and relate to with a lot of things. I mean... we're practically brother and sister, with all of our similarities and our memories and times together...
I love talking to people, and she's just one of those people that truly understands me, and I'm one of those people that tries to truly understand her as best as I can.
3. Minecraft: For some reason, when I start playing this, my OCD turns on, my ADHD completely shuts down, and I concentrate on nearly nothing but this. It's the creativity, the infinity, and the lack of complexity. I can just sit there and pretend, in my mind, that I was really in the game and doing this stuff in real life. Sure, that sounds nerdy, but hey, that's part of me. If you don't like it, too bad.
4. Reading: I just love reading interesting fiction books, and getting lost in the story for hours. Especially when the author puts in great imagery, so I can imagine that I was there for real.

Now, this past Tuesday, or March 12th in simple words, I auditioned for Chamber Singers/Troylairs for the next school year! I was a bit nervous, despite the support from my "brother and sister" being there with me. Alex and Naomi are seriously some of the best supporters for me whenever I need to make decisions about singing. So, the audition seemed to go okay. I always love how Burrows skips sight singing for me, because he knows that I can do it. :D I guess that was one plus for this week.

Oh, and on the following day, March 13th, I went to my good friend Jacob Allred's house to party with him for the last time in two years. He's leaving on his mission soon, and we all wanted to spend one party with him and just have a great time. There was one game in particular that I've never even heard of before, but I dominated at it, and it was a lot of fun! "I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT !!!1" is how it's stylized. It's a top view-down shoot-em-up game where you just point and click with up to four players. It's such a trippy game, and I would suggest it if you have a small group of friends that you want to have a little competition with.

Shout-Out-of-the-Day: Rebekah Phillips
Can I just say you're the best friend ever, and you've never back stabbed me. I'm glad we're still friends, and I see us being friends forever, and always being close in some manner.

Well, I'm sorry I was gone for nearly two weeks guys. I'll try not to let it happen again anytime soon! Love you all!
AS ALWAYS, HAVE NICE DAY!
