went to branson over the weekend...it was raining on the car ride down there:) i love riding in the backseat with my music blaring in my ears..esp. at night or when it's raining - allows a good deal of pondering. silver dollar silly was fun - gorgeous at night with all the lights in the trees. they still have fall leaves...not fair. i was freezing the whole time though..as if you had any doubt. and my parents fought - great. yet relaxation was mastered. there was a hot guy in my hotel...saw him at breakfast and coming from the pool. lol..as if anything happened. i was VERY impressed with my hotel. capaccino and ice cream till 11, swimming pool and whirl pool, big rooms, decorations, delicious breakfast...it was great. *sigh of relief* had a dream about patrick. can't get that kid off my mind....what else is new. no guys for manda for a while - keep me away. i need to get things sorted out first...priorities. "don't follow your heart cause it just seems to get in your way"..what does dashboard confessional know anyway? well i have much to do before finals and before friday so i guess i'd better hop-to. i came back expecting some comments but nadda...where did everyone go? much luv!! God bless guys, *manda*
