wow guys! i guess it's been awhile, huh? well i'm happy this isn't broken anymore, that's for sure. but anyways, a lot has been going on! i've been working a ton more, everyday, which is really nice. i realized that it's my lot in life to just work at a daycare or babysit. i just love it! and i got sick too, lately. i can't really swallow right now. my throat hurts a lot and i'm sad cuz i just wanna eat like cereal, you know? but milk's so bad for sore throats! so i'm totally bummed. but this week's been pretty fun i guess. last night me, james, and jaci went to jenna & rachel's grad party. it was fantastic! i got to hang out w/ some people that i never get to, so that was awesome. and it was the last time i'm gonna see jaci for TWO weeks, so that was a little sad, too. but i feel like i have so much to do this summer! i guess it's not any different than any other summer, but it just seems like i'll be away from people more. regardless of what's going on w/ everyone, i'm gonna miss everyone. it's so awkward not hanging out w/ them all the time cuz all of us have never been this busy collectively. and don't even get me started on not seeing james! that's so weird too, but it's gonna be something that will test us, i feel like. and it's so weird to be graduating! like when shawn&marlena and jaci gave me those collages i wanted to die, b/c i felt like everything that's become so accustomed to me is like gonna be gone. and not that i'm scared, cuz i'm totally not-- i'm really excited--but i'm really upset that i'm leaving everyone i love. like everything has been awesome w/ my family lately, and it's gonna be so hard not seeing them every day. i guessit's a good thing i'm only going to houghton, and not messiah, cuz then i'd be freakin far from everyone. idk, this entry's really not meant for anyone in particular. it's jut what i feel. which i guess is what the point of a journal is. love you guys, k?

man, it's been so long since i last updated! lol i pretty much haven't even had any thing to update about, so i haven't. track's almost done.. that's crazy! it's been a good season. i would like to do better in the pentath before it's done, but so far, i can't complain. ball's really really soon and i couldn't be more excited! it's gonna be amazing. boston was a good time. i got to hang out w/ a lot of people i don't usually hang out w/, so that was kinda cool. i have to say, the dance pretty much topped off the trip for me, cuz it was super duper! i mainly just hung out w/ maynard and steph, but that was awesome cuz usually i don't see them a lot. im getting really excited about camp, too! it's in like 2 1/2 months and i can't even wait! the only part that's gonna suck is being away from everyone that i wanna hang out w/, but i feel like if i've handled it every other year, i can deff handle it this year. anyways, i don't relaly have anything else to say. life's prety awesome and i have a lot of stuff to look forward to. if you could leave me lots of comments, that would be sweet. have a super duper day guys! i love you! love, me ps you are awesome x 902387489738.67 :-D

jeez louise, what's even going on? i know this is what God wants me to go through, i know i need to, but i can't do it. i hate this fact of knowing that the 3 people i shared almost my entire life w/ in the last 3 years are almost the farthest thing away. and people say crap, like it's my fault, but how can it be? did i push myself away? did i judge and comment on everything i said myself? i feel like i wanted the best of both worlds. like, i wanted to have the best friends in the world, cuz everyone needs friends, but i also wanted james. cuz they all mean the world to me, really. but then i just felt like they all expected that i would ditch them, so they like pushed me away before i could push them away. but i never would've! i promise! i need you guys, for real. but if i'm just gonna feel judged and attacked every time i try to talk to you about something, i don't need that. you guys were never like that. and it's probly true, i probly did change. but i think it's a combination of all of us changing. cuz now i feel like we all want different things from life and we used to be on (almost) the same page. and now we're in different books! like i've never, EVER felt more distant from you guys. we might as well may not even be friends. and i just wanna know how you guys feel, cuz i can almost guarantee that i'm not the only one feeling like this. i think i'm just saying in words what everyone else is thinking. idk guys, i love you and i want you in my life, but i guess i just feel like you guys don't want the same? like i feel like everytime i try to talk to you about what's going on in my life, it's put on the back burner. and i really don't feel supported in my relationship w/ james at all, i just want you to know that. idk, talk to me, please?

well guys, it's been a few days. & the sad part is that nothing is even new! lol! actually, i visited messiah, as you all know, because only 2 people read in this and comment. and both of you i talk to every single day of my life anyways. but i'm a little more confused about where i'd rather go to college. i guess i'm gonna need to make a list of pros and cons, cuz they're really comparable. so last friday was the lock in at rcs and that was a really good time, i must say. saturday was fun too, although i don't really remember what i did. idk, this is kinda boring. leave me lots of comments i guess, so i look love. :-) love you, peace out! :-D

this makes me really happy, so i'm sharing it w/ you guys. i did once before too, but thats ok. have a super day, cuz you all deserve it. 1. At least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. If not for you, someone may not be living. 8. You are special and unique. 9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. 11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world. 12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it. 13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. 14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know. 15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

yo what up? how's everyone doing? i'm pretty good. i feel really blah though. like physically. my throat hurts and crap. but i'im guessing i'm just super duper tired, cuz i've gone to bed past midnight every day this week. this week was CRAZY! i feel like it was 3 weeks squished into one. which is kinda sad :-X but yea, i've had a TON of fun though. sunday & monday (which seems like years ago, btw) i was at my grandmas. it was really awesome to see her. then i got home and cleaned and hung out w/ james. i think we watched x-men 2, but i don't remember. tuesday i had young life and it was pretty sweet. wed. i had practice then went to the wrestling meet, and it was so intense! & they won, which is pretty sweet. then we went out to eat and i got home late, but it was totally and completely worth it. thursday i did a bunch of random crap. and friday too! haha so now i'm frickin tired and i totally just watched random tv shows for 3 hours. which was awesome, might i add. so as much as i'd love to stay and tell you guys every single thing about my week, i have to go get some sleep. have a super day, and i'll see basically all of you tommorow at the meet! :-D wahooooo! i heart you guys, briana "the best" dawson

yea, so christmas is frickin close! and i'm pumped! not b/c of getting presents, b/c honestly, i'd be fine if i got no presents. having no school and having awesome family and friends is enough for me. and i'm not a materialistic sort of person, really. contrary to popular belief. but i'm just excited cuz i love the whole atmosphere and the whole season, like it makes me really happy. and the fact that we have no school and barely any practices is sweet too. and hopefully the joshua rev won't be dumb, as horrible is that sounds, b/c its takinga up a TON of my break. ooo one gift i am excited about, however, is my novel note from jjames. idk why, but i'm just super pumped! :-) anyways, a lot has been going on, i guess. irealized that i have a crapload of stuff to pay for this coming year, like trips and stuff, and so i'm in desperate need of a job. but i'm totally and completely enjoying all this free time. like un-healthely so. b/c i've had like 3 free nights this week. and now its like 9 and the kids are already in bed and idk when the parents are coming home. but i don't think until like 11, which is cool. i'm probly gonna do some humanities and maybe color. mainly cuz i can. oh yea, and i got gum stuck in my hair tonight and i totally had to get it out w/ peanut butter. ;-) buttttt... i love you guys a lot, and have a super christmas [and new years] if i don't see you before then! but i hopefully will since you'll all be calling me on a regular basis. 'kay. done!

so emo.

do you guys ever think about when everything was awesome? not to sound cynical, but sometimes i just htink back to all that. and i miss it a lot. i miss being able to talk to who i want, when i want, w/o that pissing someone else off. its one of those things where i'll love you guys no matter what, but it just doesn't make me wanna be w/ you very much. and i mean that in a totally sad and regretful way. cuz i was just thinking the other day about how much i love you guys and how much i just wanna give you a big kiss and hug. but then i remember how much all this is hurting me. and i guess i don't really know how to explain how its hurting me. its just eating me away inside, almost, and causing me SO much stress! cuz as much as i say i don't care, i do. you guys are my best friends! & the fact that everyone keeps talking to me about crap is making it 028409328 times worse, i think, because then i dwell on it, and i get caught up w/ sides (which there shouldn't even be, btw). some stuff like this just confuses the heck out of me.
