Say one extra thing about yourself: I'm feeling kind of restless today. . . but happy.

Dreams

I love dreams.
It's strange that dreams can make everything seem so real.
It's interesting that you can wake up from a dream and have such strong emotions towards whoever was in your dream. So strong that you might be mad at them, uncomfortable around them, and/or twitter patted.
It's frightening that I can wake from my nightmares and still see the horrible images standing in my room for a few seconds.
And more then anything, it's freeing to have wonderful stories and tales conveyed to me through my dreams that become the inspiration for my books.

All of this sparked because of a wonderful dream that will probably never come true.
But even if it still was just a dream, he reached for my hand first.

Shot Down

Well, I took a chance and told the guy that I like that I was interested in him. . . no go. Pretty sure I cried my eyes out when I got home. He's cool though and says I'm a really good friend so we're staying that way. He was very nice about it so that made it easier too. The thing that made it harder was he was so hot when he turned me down. . . suit, black stripped shirt, and an awesome tie. *Sigh* Stupid jerk lol.

So! In response to the heart break and repentance process I've been through recently, this poem was inspired!

Broken Willow

Apr. 18, 2010

*For those who sin and feel heart break*

Weeping Willow droop down,

Let your vines touch the ground.

Don't reach for the sky,

Don't bask in the sun,

But hang your head

And pray to overcome.

Pray to God for patience and strength.

Know that this pain He will take.

And always look to the time,

When you will become a Heaven reaching Pine.

There we go! What did you guys think? Other then that, for those who will worry, (you know who you are ;D ) I'm fine. Just a little sad and trying to stop crushing on a guy who doesn't like me. . . wow, that just made me depressed lol.

Moroccan Belly Dancing

It's official, next semester, when I go back to school, I will be taking a Belly Dancing class! I went to this lady's demonstration last night where she taught a bunch of girls the basics. She's a professional Belly Dancer, has been dancing for 17-18 years, and she learned from a Moroccan Princess. She was very funny and super fun to watch.
Maybe being a graceful Belly Dancer will help me become more feminine since my martial arts scares all the boys away! lol

Doki Doki!

It's inevitable.
I'm as awkward and shy as a little girl.
I honestly don't think this will ever pass . . .
I'm worried that I might never feel comfortable.
I'm really nervous and over analyzing ever move I make.

And it's all his fault!

. . . you'd think I'd be better at this since I've done it before.

My nephew rocks!

Kail was reading my graphic novel version of Twilight and described a great interest in the way Anime Edward's hair was. So I offered to do it for him :)
He walked around the house saying: "Your nephew, Edward Cullen style!" About 7 times. He's so cute!
