Is It Something I Ate or Something Wrong with My Brain?

Ok, I don't know how to update everything. I love you guys so much!!! Especially since I'm now down on friends...one girl from my church decided to drop the nicey-nice pretense and I gave up trying to keep her happy. I accidentally said the wrong thing to a friend from camp and she now hates my guts. Emo Shane and I haven't talked in forever. I fell in love with the only guy who doesn't have a crush on me. I'm about to test for my blue belt in jujitsu (fraeking out!) My best friends right now are Sarah the Accident Prone from camp, Caitlin the Angelic, Julianne the Pure, Evan the Guitarist and his girlfriend Kara the Goddess from church, Jeff the Modern Renaissance Man and Jay the Confusing Brace Face from jujitsu and Nikki "Nickle For Your Time" from drama. Thank you for sticking by me guys.

     Writing is going ok. I'm working on a story about an Irish immigrant boy who's made immortal by his Navajo adopted father. I can't wait until summer. How is everyone anyway? I miss you guys. Mili, how's my favorite emo girl? Cassy, played any Green Day songs lately? Paul, is life getting any better? Elessar, how's life in the mystery lane? Lurk, I misseth youeth. And everyone else. I have to go and make sure I'm ready to go to the library then Barnes & Noble then jujitsu and everything else...Love you all always! God bless, Life is good!

“Believe It or Not” by Joey Scarbury

Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
It should've been somebody else

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me

It's like a light of a new day,
It came from out of the blue
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me!

A Thankful Heart

I don't have enough time (the parents stepped out for a minute) to tell about everything. But I wanted to tell you all I love you, God loves you, life is good and

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

May you have the happiest New Year of your life and remember- "It's all we've been given, so you'd better start living right now- 'Cause days go by!"

Thankful Heart from Muppet Christmas Carol

With a thankful heart
With an endless joy
With a growing family
Every girl and boy
Will be nephew and niece to me
Nephew and niece to me
Will bring love, hope and peace to me
Love, hope and peace to me
Yes, and every night will end
And every day will start
With a grateful prayer
And a thankful heart

With an open smile
And with open doors
I will bid you welcome
What is mine is yours
With a glass raised to toast your health
With a glass raised to toast your health
And a promise to share the wealth
Promise to share the wealth
I will sail a friendly course
File a friendly chart

On a sea of love
And a thankful heart

Life is like a journey
Who knows when it ends
Yes, and if you need to know
The measure of a man
You simply count his friends

Stop and look around you
The glory that you see
Is born again each day
don't let it slip away
How precious life can be

With a thankful heart
That is wide awake
I do make this promise
Every breath I take
Will be used now to sing your praise


Used now to sing your praise
And to beg you to share my days
Beg you to share my days

With a loving guarantee
That even if we part

I will hold you close
In a thankful heart
I will hold you close
In a thankful heart

With a thankful heart

"You Can't Ride in My Little Red Wagon"

The title is from a song at camp. "...The wheels are broken and the axle's saggin'." The second verse is "same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse!" We got up to 8 before the counselor's eardrums popped.

I am perfectly aware that no one is reading this, but I don't care.

CAMP WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Our team, the Priests, won! We had the best chief ever and we had a hilarious skit called Judge Jimbo (you had to be there) and the girls in my cabin were way cool and the guys in our tribe were awesome and I got to see my friends Smittie (is that how you spell it Your Randomness?) and Becky (Her Beckyness or Beckage.) I twisted my ankle on the last day (how cliche, I did the same thing last year >.<) and some of the Priests made team jerseys by putting a letter from Priests on the front of their shirts and a nickname and number on the back.One time I was late for a team meeting and Justin (this cool guy I got to argue with in our skit) said I was out flirting with Batman ('cause my name's Robyn.) So from then on lots of people called me Batman and that's what I put on my shirt. The King's team was hilarious because it was mostly girls. Smittie painted himself solid blue from hairline to waistline, even in his ears! One tribe did a wrestling music video for their skit and it was HILARIOUS! My friend Sarah got a concussion and two other people sprained their ankles-- no wonder! It was a freaking hike just to get out of the cabins! BUT IT WAS FUN!!!!!! I could live at camp. I MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carrie had the baby! It's a boy named Jesse Mikel Lydy and he has the chubbiest cheeks ever.  Yes, he's cute, but please don't get on me if he scares me. Babies are more frightening than Friday the 13th will ever be!

I have an article my instructor wants me to send to a magazine...YIKES!  I'm glad, it's just weird. I got the script for Legend of Sleepy Hollow and I have a crapload of lines >.<  :) Two of my friends at jujitsu got their yellow belts (YAY!!!!!!) and i have to go now cuz the parents r bk LOVE U ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I'm Too Tied Up to Come Undone"

Summer is PSYCHO!!!!! And I mean that in a good way!

My dad's in the hospital after surgery. He's good but the recovery takes forever! My sister is due to have the baby any minute (not good on anyone's nerves!) Fourth of July was cool, my new writing assignment is done, I have to practice piano (Argh-- I hate my new books! At least I get to learn cool songs over summer) I get to go to camp next Monday (YAY!!!!!!!!!!) and I'm going to a friend's house later today. Rehearsals for Legend of Sleepy Hollow start in August and I can't wait!!! Pray for the cast, we need all the help we can get! I posted some new stuff on my Deviant site (www.vampire-anakin.deviantart.com) so check that out if you please. I'm almost done with the Life is Good CD. Now the list reads (Sorry for repetition)

"More Than it Seems"

I don't know how many of you are still reading this, and if you're not, I deserve it. My online life is pretty much dead. My real life is too wacked to keep up with both.

Last Monday my dad got whisked to the emergency room at 4 a.m. because of an infection in his intestines.  He'll be back home some time this week. Carrie and Jeremiah found a house and the baby is due in 3 weeks. But the house was a wreck. We have it mostly cleaned up now. But argh- you really get tired of Pine-Sol, dirt, grit, plaster, staples, carpet, masking tape, mops and paint smell after a while. This week really sucked. It's better now, but Monday at jujitsu wasn't so hot. I love everybody, but that doesn't mean I like them, and two people I really dislike were there-- an assisstant instructor who's an ex-Marine and assumes everyone else is too,  and a prissy cheerleader of a brat girl who thinks that the world revolves around her and her whining. I haven't been able to sleep in my own bed for over a week and therefore haven't slept. Everything I eat makes me feel ill.

Ok, enough with the whining. My chores are done, my friends rule, and life is good. Oh!!!! I almost forgot--

I GOT MY YELLOW BELT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I trained three hours a day, three days a week for 3 months for that test, and I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like, phew, now I can die!  I nearly threw up when class started, but the adrenaline worked, 'cause when I'd only ever made it to 20 push-ups, I did 30 in one minute!!!!!!! Maybe that's not much to musle-heads, but to a 173-pound bookworm, it's plenty!

I also finished my writing assignment and I have my piano lesson all practiced. The house is clean (more or less) the yard is mowed, I'm clean from a shower (when was the last time I had one of those? *scratches head*) and I'm watching a cool martial arts movie.

By the way, I'm working on making a CD of mix songs with the overall theme of "Life is good, you're cool, keep your chin up, life is short so live out loud!" The title is-- guess what?-- Life is Good.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know! So far the list includes:
