High Time for an Update
5 years ago
WonderPickleNews
I haven't been on here in a while. Anyway, I like to flatter myself by thinking some of y'all still care, so here's what's new in my life.
+ Switched majors from Music Performance to English with licensure (to teach) and I'll be adding History as a second major this fall.
+ Not doing marching band this year. :'( Too much time for too little money. Gotta work, work, work, and save, save, save, so I can do it next year.
+ Still with my wooooonderful boyfriend, Dakota. He's moving up to U of A this weekend.
+ I've gone deeper down the rabbit hole of the Supernatural fandom than I ever thought possible, and I don't even care.
+ I've expanded my crafting to include rudimentary friendship bracelets, painted bottle lamps, knitting, and shrinky dinks! I loooooove my shrinky dinks!!! I'll be making a lot of my own Supernatural jewelery with the kit I have.
+ I've become a huge fan of classic rock thanks to SPN.
+ I got a job waitressing this summer. It was really fun most of the time, but when it sucked, it really, really sucked.
+ I got a big girl apartment! It's brand new and really close to campus. It's four bed, four bath. Two other girls live here with me. They seem pretty cool. My bedroom is tiny, but it's mine! And the walk-in closet is heavenly. I love this place.
I think that's about it. I'll probably be back soon to rant about SPN. I'm tired. -

If any of my friends on here are part of Kappa Kappa Psi? I just got my Big Bro today. I'm super-dee-super excited about the ed period next semester. I don't really know what else to say, so comment if we're brothers! :D

Sounds like you packed a lot of fun in!! Beach-time would have been great, but it's hard when you're in a group to do everything you want to do.
It took me a while to acquire a taste for coffee, but now I can't survive without it.

I'll be thinking of you Thursday (or Friday here!) - I didn't do many plays st school, and although I probably would've been horrible, I wish I did. It would be super-scary and fun, all at the same time!
Good luck! 
I'm sure Dakota told you that many times though. 
Escargot? No thank you. The idea of it disgusts me!
I would be horrible at salsa - I'm sure you've get s good laugh if you ever saw me try!
I'm happy you had such a great time, with all your great friends. It sounds like it was action-packed, but a lot of fun.
Life with me is busy, but not as much fun as yours!
I love your new photos of you and your man on FB - you both look so sweet. And Samantha - you look STUNNI-AMAZING!!

I did the Chichen Itza (not chicken pizza!) ruins when we got to Progreso, bought way too many bracelets and junk, had wonderful junk food that was filled all the way to the top of the bag. that was so awesome. And on the ship, I tried lots of different food, which led to my discovery that escargot is absolutely amazing, as is pepperoni pizza with pepper flakes at two in the morning, and that I can't find a tea that I like. Or coffee, either, really. The hot chocolate was good. I learned how to salsa, and got to dance with a stranger. Talked to him later that week, and it turns out he's a music major and a nerd like me. I wish I could find him on Facebook, but oh well. In Cozumel, I really wanted to go to a beach and just chill, but the people I was supposed to be going with ditched me. That sucked some huge balls. So I was stranded for a while, and then just went shopping with some friends. Also, the room was tiny, but the comforter and pillows were fluffy and wonderful, and the rocking of the boat lulled me into a deep sleep every night. The few times I did wake up in the middle of the night, though, were totally confusing. For about a minute, I had no clue were I was.
All in all, the trip was suuuper fun, and I'd love to go on another cruise in a few years, but with Dakota. Much more fun.
And I promise I'll put up pictures soon. I've just been crazy busy with drama and band. But band's almost done, and Romeo and Juliet is this Thursday. I'm nervous. I have trouble with lots of my lines, and I'm not familiar with a few scenes because we haven't done them very many times. Oi gavolts!
So how are you? :P

Glad to hear that you had a great time at prom. I was suppose to get leave in May but they re-did everyones leave dates. So I got screwed and not coming home till Sept. Sucks, but there is nothing I can do about it. Thanks for continually praying for me.

Of course I'm praying for you! What kind of friend would I be if I didn't? It sucks to hear you have to wait so long to take your leave, but maybe you can make more of your time over there in May. There's a reason you're not leaving then. Remember that, and maybe it'll bring you some comfort. I'm so sorry to hear about your friends, and I hope they'll make a full recovery soon. Keep your spirits up! You sounded rather down in your last message. I know it wasn't much to go by, but you just didn't sound like your normal cheerful self.
Here's one of my favorite songs about God's might. It's Aaron Keyes's "Song of Moses", inspired by the first song in the Bible, in Exodus 15. Just remember the truth of these words, and feel better. :)

I miss you too! Gosh. There's so much to tell you. I can't talk about some of it right now, though. It's so good to hear from you. I had been getting worried about you. I hope you're doing alright. You get your leave soon. May, right? That's when I'm graduating! But not at Ashdown. Our DI team made it to global finals and graduation falls on that week, but they have a graduation ceremony there. I'll still get to go to my baccalaureate. Prom was so much fun. I'll be putting up pictures soon. Dakota looked so cute in his gray tux. :D
I really miss getting to tell you stuff as it happens. You're still in my prayers. I haven't forgotten ya, bud. I hope I hear from you again sometime soon! Keep safe. <3

That happened to me in Morocco - I haggled and haggled, and NEARLY got the guy to the price I wanted to pay. I told him I'd go for a walk and come back later - two minutes later, he chased me down on his bike!

Sounds fun. My band director walked away once because the guy would agree to his offer, and the guy caved and chased him down.

Haggling IS a lot of fun - I had a great time doing it in Guatemala, although they can be friendly, but ruthless!! One lady tried to sell me a blanket, but I didn't have any money - I even showed her my empty wallet! Then much later, she saw me go to the ATM, then wouldn't leave me alone for the next hour until I gave in!!!

Hey there, sorry it has taken me a while to respond.

Dude, I am so sorry for all of that bad luck, especially your dog dying. I've been there a couple times, and it sucks. I have a particular weakness for animals. College isn't all that hard to get into if you find the right one, just send out to everyone! As for your personal issues with apparently talking too much or too little, I highly doubt either is an issue. People will act as they will according to their personalities, and yours just happens to be extra social- that isn't anything to be worked up over. It just sounds like you build up a lot of emotional baggage then unload it all at once because you only like to speak your mind to certain people. That's how many people function, not just you.
Don't worry, things have a way of sorting themselves out. you can text me if you ever need to, I'll work on being more responsive (sorry i sometimes don't reply, I am so busy this semester!). Keep your chin up, It can't rain all the time

The only thing up with me is RvB. I'm on it every waking minute (we are on impossible deadline right now). And when we wrap the season, then I get on to the soundtrack CD, which we are committed to having ready when the DVD is ready. So.....insanity here for another 6 weeks or so.
So....tired.....!!

It's the most heart-wrenching of all instruments!!!!!!!! Hard to play too. My kid plays in school....our town (which sucks in every other regard) has an amazing strings program. It's basically a small town with no low-budget, but we have pretty decent arts in school. In spring they have an "all-town" strings concert. More than 600 kids in the strings program! They start the concert with the highest grades (so it sounds pretty good), then they keep adding younger and younger kids to it, till all 600, including the tiniest kids, are playing (so it sounds really awful). It's fun, and crazy to see soo many kids playing strings at once!
