Oh how people wish.
Oh how I wish I could sit here forever, cross legged in ‘The Computer Chair’ and write all day.
Oh how I wish inspiration would be my constant companion and friend
To keep me motivated instead of lazy and dumb
Sitting in this chair
Twiddling my thumbs
Wondering what to do next with the precious time I have left
Should I go on the internet and waste the hours
Or should I try and crank out a story about girl in a field and some flowers?
Oh how people wish
And plan to have a dream life
Without any strife
But what would life be
Without those, “No that can’t be”s
Without those hard things that help mold and form us
To be who we must be
Oh how people wish
But those things we wish for are seldom ever granted
So for the time being, make your own moves in life
Until fate decides you’re ready
To take on your dreams and live life to the fullest…

I'm Sorry...
Dear Readers,
So summer is almost over (ouch that hurt) and i'm JUST getting in my beach trip in August! Our days consisted of: after about an hour awake we headed down to catch the rays and brown up, warm and freezing waves, boogie-boards, SAND! walking about a block and crossing the boardwalk on the way to the beach, checking tan lines while washing the sand off of our bodies, watching daily TV (we were so unhealthy last week), evening walks on the boardwalk and coming back on the beach, baking and cooking special food, ice cream every night! second cousins, third cousins, a lot of people i don't know but they are magically related to me! and lots of other strange and fun things :)
Some All of that was out of order but there's the main components of my beach week. Crazily enough, after only three very busy days home, we're leaving again to enjoy a week of sports, discussion time, team colors, friends and horrible food at our church's annual Youth Camp. AND THEN sometime after that, we're going to my first cousins house to spend even more time with our relatives! Ooh this is gonna be one hectic end of a summer!
Post soon,

The Return of the... Girl :)
Dear Readers,
If you're wondering why I posted this so early is because I've got pretty bad jetlag after flying all over the world! No, really, I just visited the continent of Africa for something like 36 DAYS! We got to pass through England twice which was fun both times and when we got to Philadelphia airport i realized how funny the american accent is :)
I would post pics of the whole long journey instead of making you guys read a boring wordy post, but I still have no idea how that whole thing works!
It's amazing to be back where the toilet flushes unquestionably every time you use it, you can eat a plate full of salad and not regret it for the rest of the week, the air (even if it's humid) doesn't smell faintly of garbage and best of all: you can sleep in your own bed and you will never have to check out of again! Unless you're on vacation, of course...
During the trip I learned so much, and I don't mean just manually, it was mentally moving too. You hear about countries in hardship all of the time, it's in the papers and all over news but it's rare that people see it up close and under your feet (except those relief teams that go to places like Haiti and stuff). I definitely realized how much home means to me and how privileged I am to be living where I am. People in countries like Uganda and Ethiopia live on so little but they are some of the kindest and generous people I've met.
I might post a longer detailed-ish post about the trip but, by for now :)

AHHHHHH!?
Dear Readers,
What in the world has happened to me!? Okay, so I am leaving to travel to a far away place in about... 96 hours, and it snuck up on me. MAJORLY. Anyway, I was writing to you guys partially because I haven't really posted anything recently(?) and partly to notify you guys I might not be posting at all for the next month.
The upsides of the trip?
1. I can take notes on the plane rides for a story of mine (Yeah I know, kinda nerdy but hey, I can document it in my story forever :P)
2. I (at-long-last) get to meet my dad's co-workers :S
3. I can (collectively) spend about 32 hours in London, England (I know you all know where London is but, I just like to bathe in the fact that I get to spend a day in England!)
and that's about it, actually...
Please pray I survive and that I can at least attempt to have fun!

Oooooh.... It's Good to Write :)
Dear Readers,
I've decided to write down this scene idea down for you guys 'cause it's actually been lounging around in my brain waiting to be 'unleashed' onto the computer :)
Sarah sighed, now that her rowdy children were being taken good care of she could relax a bit. She initially plopped down on the rarely used sofa, it wasn't worn down because she and the boys were always so busy they pretty much never rested until bedtime; but, she couldn't get comfortable today. Oddly enough, her gaze was drawn to the smooth mac book on the table. She hadn't written anything for pleasure since she had started college, ten years ago. Now, at 31, she had a hardworking husband, three lovely (but loud) boys and two enormous cats. Writing for pleasure had seeped out of her life more and more through the years and as she approached the smooth computer, opened a new Microsoft Document, and sat down in the leather swivel that sat beneath the small table; she felt like she was home. She stared at the screen, on which was depicted the blank page of a fresh sheet. She poised her motherhood-worn fingers inches from the sleek white keyboard and as her fingers descended on the beloved keys, she wrote, and wrote as if she'd never been away from the letters for more than two days. Her fingers danced over the keys making that satisfying clicking music as her thoughts flowed from her fingers and into the document. She composed a symphony of feeling as she told the story of some mystery mother, somewhere in a time that she had made up on the spot. The mother went from hauling groceries in through the door at the very beginning to rushing into a hospital ward to look after her dying mother twenty pages later. Sarah looked briefly up at the computer's clock and was shocked to see it was only 7:39, only a half hour after she'd first sat down. She wasn't as rusty as she'd supposed she would be. Leaning back, she looked over her work, proofread, and then tucked the file away, smiling...
Hope y'all enjoyed :)
