You were always hard to hold, so letting go ain't easy...

75 days.

Going to Ohio fell through.  I'll reschedule it to some other time, but yeah.  That was a bummer.  Hopefully it will happen soon though.

Phil Wickham was really good!  We had a fun time and the music was great.  The amphitheatre was really pretty once it got dark.  I'd never been to a concert at Simon Estes so it was really cool to be on the river with my friends, listening to some music.

I bought a really nice guitar on Saturday, and oh my golly does it sound good.  It's a Martin DC-1E.  It's beautiful, and it sounds amazing.  I love it.  It needs a name though, so feel free to shoot out any suggestions that pop into your brains.

I'm digging on this thunderstorm that's happening right now.

I am feeling terribly unproductive.  I am generally not motivated to do anything today.  That is really a terrible way to be.  I don't like when I feel like that.  So, tomorrow will be better.

I'm not even motivated to finish this blog.  So bye!

I'm out of touch, I'm out of reach...

80 days before he leaves.

I am going to Ohio in two weeks to see Hans, Lara, and Sarah, my three good internet friends.  I love them all.  I am very excited.  Today is Hans' birthday even, so everyone should say hello to him and tell him they love him dearly.

Tonight I'm going to see Phil Wickham with some friends.  I've only heard a few of his songs but they were really good, so it should be a fun time.  Music is just awesome any time, so I can't imagine it will be lame.

My last time on worship team is on Sunday.  It's also the day of my last special music.  I'm going to sign Come My Way by Skillet.  I'm kind of melancholy about the whole thing, but it will be good to just get it over with and then move on to the next chapter of my life, or whatever it is they call this awkward transition.

My car has been backed into twice.  Both by the same person.  It is getting fixed soon.

My hair needs to be cut.  It is currently burgundy.

I miss my boyfriend.  He's out of town for a wedding.  I have a 5-day weekend and no one to take me on dates. *sigh*  Oh well.  I'll just sleep instead.

I don't have anything else to say at the moment, but I promise to write something more interesting later.

Love,
Mara.

Here's my kiss to betray, desperate to brush the lips of Grace...




Do you feel hollow when you think of how I've lied?

Seriously, Underoath and Aaron Marsh, could you have made a better song?  No.  This is my favorite song.  Number one favorite.  I mean, I have lots of songs where I say "Hey, this is one of my favorite songs!" But this one is different.  It is my number one favorite.  That's a big deal.  I don't have many number one favorites.  Stop by iTunes and buy Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape if you'd like to listen to a piece of me.  Or come to my church on May 30th and hear me and some rad people play it.

Sorry that I haven't blogged in forever.  I've been lacking inspiration in the blogging realm.  I am stoked enough about this song that I had to tell you all about it.  Anyway, so if there are things that I said I'd tell you about and haven't that you want to know about, I forgot about them so go ahead and comment or something and tell me to talk about it, because I will.  I really just forgot.

I am sleepy and tired and I have yet another busy weekend.  I desperately want to sleep in, and it isn't going to happen this weekend, yet again.  That makes me irritated, but that's because I'm kind of a lamewad.

That's all.
