"Blue Birds"

Once a little girl wondered, thought and questioned too
Yes she wondered why, oh why the sky is blue.
Mama looked at her and gave a thoughtful smile
And she gave an answer lacking in all guile.

“Many many blue birds flew away from home,
Wanted just to journey ‘til they filled a tome.
Travelled far and wide they saw so many sights,
Only feared adventure when they saw the nights.

When the morning rose they met and found the sun,
Liked him just so well that friendship had begun.
That’s when they decided they would never part,
Now they never wander, partners in his art.”

Now that little girl knew why the sky was blue:
Blue birds and the sun had a friendship very true.
Night had turned to day and the day had turned to night
Where were all the blue birds when it hit midnight?

Hoppin Around the Country Time!

Well, in less than 2 Weeks, I will arrive back home in the good old wonderful state of Texas!!! Shortly thereafter, I leave for a little vacation in the form of a FAMILY REUNION!!!! After that, I may go to Tennessee with my sister! ^_^

After that I've got a couple weeks at home, before it's time to fly out to Idaho for one of my dear friends' weddings! I might just be looking at driving all the way down to California from there with her family to go to the second reception! And after that I will of course come back home to my wonderful TEXAS! until such a time in far far away January 2011 when it will be time to return to good old Idaho ^_^

Capps Family TSHIRT!!!!

how tender and exciting is this??! I really like it.

 

Anxiously Waiting for Home!

Of College

Well, at this point, I really really am ready to just go home. My roommate Kelsey got pretty sick this semester and is going home early, THIS WEEK in fact. So after that I'll be all alone in the hostility that is my apartment. My other roommate has decided she hates me and Kelsey. Kelsey thinks that our roommate thinks we stole some book she lost or something... and we also think she may have heard us talking in a different apartment, complaining about things this roommate has been doing lately... sooooo now she has retaliated by blocking us all on Facebook and pulling stupid stunts like hiding the cable cord for the TV so we can't watch cable.

I have seriously evaluated every action I have taken toward this roommate, and while I acknowledge my responses have not always been the best I could have used... I believe that any mistakes I have made are excusable under the circumstances which I won't detail any further... because that would be an extensive description.

I don't like living in such a hostile environment though. Even people who have hated my guts in the past have told me that it was hard to do so because I was a very agreeable person to interact with. So this one sided hatred she has is something very new to me. I feel like I've done nearly all I can though. I've been trying to make sure her pet peeves are taken care of.. things like keeping the kitchen clean, et cetera.. and I've apologized for how I may have reacted to some of her rude comments.. and still no change from her.. so I dunno. I can only change my own actions, and after that, it's out of my hands... which means I can't stress about it! I think knowing that is what makes me able to deal with all of this.

But at any rate... it's almost down to TWO WEEKS before it's time to go HOME to TEXAS!!! ^_^ And I'm really super excited. It seems weird, like this semester has gone faster than the previous... but I will be so happy to be home, and without drama for at least a little while.

Time to start packing this week!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh random

Oh the randomness of me... and the things I do as I peruse the internet... haha

 

 

Toleration

I tolerate a lot. In some respects I downright let people walk all over me. But if there is one thing I will not allow is disrespect. My worth is just as great as yours. Do not treat me as less. Do not undervalue me. I know I have great worth, and I will not allow you to squander that.

PDA

If you wouldn't do it in front of your parents, then you shouldn't be doing it in front of anybody else either. You should have more respect for those around you. And if nothing else you should have enough respect for your relationship that you would want to keep that intimacy just between you and your significant other. No one else needs to see that. Ever. Ever. Ever.

And if you're going to argue that you would act that way in front of your parents... then I seriously worry for the level of respect you have for your parents.
