Lyrics....Friday. O.o

Yep. But hey, I wanted to post. And these lyrics came to mind....

{Go hit play on the video before you read...}

Well I sat down next to a photograph
Tried my best almost made her laugh
She was my toughest crowd
There in the way was a moutain up in the clouds

Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love
I can't speak without messing up
Eyes tell of what's behind
And hers showed the way to a long and lonely climb
But through failure I'll proceed
And she'll see how far I've come

And it's you and me in the sun and sea
I'll offer my arms to yours
It seems to me, no mystery
it isn't
So I'll try hard to speak

Well I sat down next to a living hell
Tried my best until I struck out
Movement is not mine
I stood in the way pretending that I was the vine
But no failure will proceed from a mouth that drinks it's wine 

And it's not me
Not my sanctity
These aren't my words to you
It's all clear when it's not from here
So clear
So I'll try not to speak

 

~~~~~

{Seriously. Listen.}

It's been a long week. 

*sigh*

I'm looking forward to it being over. 

I need a new week. 

Anyways.

Senior photos, you said?

Heyo! 

So I've had some requests for a Senior photo post, so here goes! 

Before I post them, though, I'll just tell you I am never *ever* fond of photos of myself. lol. I feel silly looking and awkward. I'm posting these for y'all, and I hope you can at least enjoy the gorgeous photography of the beautiful and talented NoniJoy! <3 :D

enjoy. ;) 

annnyways. lol. There are those. the photography is beautiful, isn't it?? Noni is the best. 

It's gonna take me a while getting back into the groove of this blogging thing. lol. :P I feel like I've been gone for forever. 

What do you guys want to hear about? questions to ask me? anything you're curious about? lemme know! <3

Just finished work for the morning.....

I'm sitting up in my bunk bed with my tiny lamp on listening to the rain on the roof, the soft thunder and listening to gentle folk music. 

*sigh*

It's so pretty right now.

*happy dance*

Hey, you guys!! I'm finished!

That's right. 

Finished with Highschool FOREVER. :D 

I graduated yesterday. 

It was pretty much the best day ever.

Emilee and me. :D <3 Em has been one of my best friends since I was about three years old. LOVE her.

Me, Micah (brother), Joshua (brother), and Kathy (orchestra director and former private teacher)

My sister Joanna accompanied my solo pieces on the Piano. :D and Jonni turned the pages for her.

My Daddy and me after diploma presentation

Friends!

Games and hangin'. :D <3

 Of course, I was scared to death at the actual ceremony. I always am right before I perform. I did kind of a mini violin recital, with two solos and a quartet piece. And after that was my party and it was a ton of good friends and we just had a great time hanging out, playing games, and laughing our faces off. Afterward we all went to Andy's Frozen Custard for ice cream and a good deal more laughing, but I don't have any pics from that. :( 

It was SO much fun. 

The only thing missing was my Bestest Bestie. :'( 

I missed you like crazy soup NoniJoy!!! <3 <3 <3 

Thursday was pretty amazing too. :D We and a bunch of the same friends, plus a few, all spent the entire day at Silver Dollar City and had an AMAZING time. Noni was there for that. Which made it perfect overall. :D lol. <3 

(I have quite a few pictures for this post. I hope you don't mind!!)

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with or commenting on all you guys' blogs! I have to take the ACT in about a week that I'mma be studying for during pretty much ALL of my free time, and I have work most mornings....So, hopefully in a week or so I'll be back more regularly. Life is crazy beans right now. lol. <3
