Can I even take a breath without God giving it to me...

Interesting couple of days.
 
So, yesterday I heard about this story.  That is so sad.  Any time something like this happens, it's sad, but there's just something about it happening to someone so well known... maybe it's just that people hear about it almost immediately and they identify with who it is.  I don't know.  Maybe I'm just making stuff up.
 
Baseball was good.  They won both games.  I aced my Algebra 2 semester test.  One more to go.
 
I have special music with Andrew this week.  I have no idea what I'm going to play.

The world still turns when you're not around...

This computer is full of old games and files. I'm getting stuff all uninstalled, because I'm clever like that. Actually, it's because the computer is generally one way that I am not so much of a packrat.

I bought Anberlin's first CD with the points I got from the end of my CCM subscription (they printed their last issue in April, so they gave me free music to make up for it), and downloading it has not gone well so far. Stupid online music. I would much rather just go buy the CD, but that wouldn't be free. So whatever. But my goodness, this is complicated and annoying. Our computers are junk.

Hallelujah! I think it just worked! (in order for that to sound like me, you have to say 'hallelujah' phonetically, just for the record)

Today, being mother's day, I got Mom some flowers. They're pretty ones, too. I like them. I hope she really likes them and isn't just saying she likes them because she's my mom.

Snap. I might have messed this download up. Ugh, I am going to shoot myself if this doesn't work soon. Dumb internet.

Mmkay. Well, I'm going to close this window now, and hopefully that will help make this work better. See y'all later.

Okay, now I'm back and I'm going to edit more blogness into this post. My guess is no one has seen it yet, so I don't feel bad or anything. My downloads are finally working, but something is wrong with the audio device, which is probably a result of me uninstalling random things. I'm not really worried, because I read somewhere that you can just restart the computer and it will fix itself, and if that doesn't work I'll just download a driver off somewhere and that will hopefully fix it. Or something. It'll all work out. There are enough computer nerds in the family to make it happen.

My fingernails are black with red glitter. In other words: Awesome.

These downloads are sllloooowwww.

I hope we play something inside at youth group tonight. I don't want to kickthrowrun anymore.

Three more to go.

IIIIII think I want some coffee, but it's too late. Tomorrow morning there will be coffee though. Yes there will. I will make some deliciousness and I will love it and cherish it as I sip it during Algebra.

I should change out of my Spongebob pants into some jeans or something now. We need to leave.

Lurve,
Mara

Don't be shocked that people die, be surprised you're still alive...

Best line from Cassie ever.  Loveloveloveloveit.

Today was interesting.  Here's why:

Website issues.  I am so irked.  That's all I'm going to say about it.

Work.  Did lots of stuff.  It was good.

Tennis.  Good.  I like watching it.  Andrew won both matches.  It was seriously awesome.

Came home.  Didn't miss any American Idol.  Definitely went at least 5 over the speed limit to make it.  Kept getting stuck behind slow people.  Missed the beginning of Jason Castro because I was "doing laundry" during the commercial break.

Someone *cough* hasn't called me back yet.

Still can't find my pink tank top and my awesome hoodie.  I did find my hobo hoodie though, which is good, but it doesn't make up for the stuff that's missing.  Grrrrrr.  So irritating.

Supergroup practice potentially Friday.  6th hour.  Fun times, but if I do something with Sawyer and the gang it means no solo effort, which is sort of a bummer since I was contemplating doing Flyleaf.  I'm into the acoustic version of Cassie right now, as you may have guessed, and I thought it would be a nifty song to play in front of the school.  Albeit gutsy, but who every said that was a bad thing?

So, that's all that I can think of. T here was probably more, but I'm not going to try and remember, because it was probably not a big deal.  Not that the things I said already are a big deal or anything, they're just in the front of my mind.

I am uberfantasticallycrazily excited for Saturday. KNOW WHY? 'Cause I'm singin' in a wedding!  W00t!  I tell you the truth (heh), I am crazy pumped for it.  And!  I get to scratch it off of my list of things to do before I die.  Which rocks you in the face with a bowstaff.  Yessssss.  So. Excited.  For realz0rz.

My fingernails look like tomato soup.
