It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all.

All day long I can hear people talking outloud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all...

There you go changing my plans again
There you go shifting my sands again
For reasons I don't understand again
Lately I don't have a clue
Just when I start liking what I see
There you go changing my scenery
I never know where you're taking me
But I'm trying just to follow you

It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands

There you go healing these scars again
Showing me right where you are again
I'm helpless, and thats where I start again
I'm giving it all up to you

It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands

Move me, make me
Choose me, change me
Send me, shake me
Find me, remind me
The past is behind me
Take it all away
Take it all from me, I pray

It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands

-Out of my hands, Matthew West

I should be...but...

I should be doing schoolwork so i can graduate by the end of this month without a big rush, but i'm not, because i dont feel like it, and i'd rather lay on the couch with blankets and Sherbert...why? because i'm in pain, i have a sore throat, i feel feverish and my whole body aches...

I should be showered and dressed so i'm ready to go out, and buy some sherbert ice cream for my poor throat, but i'm not, because i dont feel like it, and i'd rather lay on the couch with blankets and Sherbert...why? because i'm in pain, i have a sore throat, i feel feverish and my whole body aches...

I should be doing barn work, or playing with the new baby goaties, but i'm not, because i dont feel like it, and i'd rather lay on the couch with Sherbert...why? because i'm in pain, i have a sore throat, i feel feverish and my whole body aches...

ok, enough complaining for now...

Winter recital song

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again

I give you my destiny
I'm giving you all of me
I want your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs
I'm giving it all i have

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope

-Only Hope,
by Mandy Moore,
from A Walk to Remember

. . .

I call, You hear me
I've lost it all
And it's more then I can bear
I feel so empty
You're strong,
I'm weary
I'm holding on
But I feel like giving in
But still You're with me

And even though I'm walking
Through the valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Whose love will comfort me
And when all hope is gone
And I've been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will ever need
He will carry me

I know I'm broken
But You alone
Can mend this heart of mine
You're always with me

And even though I'm walking
Through the valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Whose love will comfort me
And when all hope is gone
And I've been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will ever need
He will carry meHe will carry me

And even though I feel so lonely
Like I have never been before
You never said it would be easy
But You said You'd see me through the storm

And even though I'm walking
Through the valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Whose love will comfort me
And when all hope is gone
And I've been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will ever need
He will carry me
He will carry me
He will carry me


He will carry me

You Know You're Addicted to Lord of the Rings When ...

. . .

You start quoting from the movie as part of regular conversation.
(I do this half the time)


You like to tell your mom that you are hungry by quoting: "Merry, I'm hungry."
(I have done this before)

She used to just laugh, but now she says, "What would you like to eat, Pippin?"

You continually ask your parents for second breakfast.
(have done before)

All the staff at your local cinema knows you by your first name and even before you open your mouth to speak, they say "Ticket for 'Fellowship of The Ring?'"

You hate Burger King food, but you ate nothing else for a month to get the toys.

You've crammed up your computer's memory by downloading every single screensaver from www.LordoftheRings.net

You wander around the house in a knee length nightie, pajama trousers and an unfastened dressing gown (to give you a train). You are trying to be an elf, and actually manage to forget that the nightie is blue with dolphins, the trousers have teddies on and the dressing gown is tartan.
(no...but it sounds like something i'd do if i got bored enough)

Your Lord of the Rings shirt has not yet met the washing machine.
(ewwwwwww that's just disgusting!)


You don't have enough money to buy groceries for the next week before payday, yet you charge $50 on your credit card to get a three year charter membership in the official LOTR fan club. Who needs food anyway?

You refer to parts of your town as parts of Middle-Earth.

You wear hobbitish clothing as part of your normal wardrobe.

You sometimes let your hair go curly after a wash, and then run around the house in bare feet yelling "I'm a hobbit!"
(haha no, but that would be fun...besides, my hair doesnt go curly...at all)

You hate it when Elves are only thought of as 'Santa's little helpers' and have tried to explain the difference between Santa-elves and Sidarin Elves to your 5-year old cousins.
(no, but i do hate it when they're only associated with santa)

You speak in Quenya just to annoy your friends.

You refer to regular elephants as oliphaunts.
(YES!)

While buttering a piece of bread, you suddenly think of Bilbo (remember when he was talking to Gandalf about feeling tired) saying that he felt 'like butter spread over too much bread.'
(ALL the time!)

You renamed your car the Wraith-mobile.

You have a replica of The One Ring.
(....from Monopoly)

You are beginning to resemble a panda due to the fact that you've stayed up until 2 am reading and re-reading the great books.

You actually managed to read the Silmarillion without being tempted to give up on this whole middle earth malarkey.
(i gave up after five minutes

You haven't removed the soundtrack from your CD player since you bought it.

You have sssudenly developed a hisssing lisssp every time you sssay the letter ssss.
(occasionally)

You have begun calling your husband / wife / girlfriend/ boyfriend / animal or kid my precioussss.
(have done before...siblings and pets)

You happily traveled over an hour to the next town to see "it" because that theater has a better sound system than the one 5 minutes down the road.

You have called every theatrical or specialty makeup company in town looking for pointy ear or hairy feet prosthetics.
Or posters...

You've worn your plastic "one ring" that came on your Legolas bookmark so much the gold is completely worn off.
(my Monopoly one isnt really gold anymore...)

You've begun drafting a letter to the Webster's dictionary people requesting that they include "Ringers" in their next edition.
I have added the MiddleEarth Language into my PC.

At Christmas time relatives find you chatting with the tree and sharing eggnog draughts

Single ads with the description," short plump and big hairy feet" seem much more appealing.

You know The LoTR history better then your family history.
(most of the time)

You have a mouse named Frodo, a bird named Gollum, and a dog named Gandalf. And that cat that keeps coming around to be petted is Legolas.
(haha! too many animals to name like that)

You know Elvish better then English.

Whenever something goes wrong, it's Sauron's fault.
(occasionally)

When you sing in the shower, it's always about Gil-Galad or hobbit walking songs...

You know everything about Middle Earth geography, but you can't get someone from your house to the ice cream parlor. Now the nearest movie theater, that is a different story.

You think the names of the 7 dwarves from Snow White are: Gimli, Gloin, Thorin, Fili, Kili, Ori, and Bambour.
(yes)

You have developed your own special Tolkien handwriting. "A firm, flowing script..."

Whenever you get a chance, you burst into song. Preferably one that has more than 20 verses.

You change your name by deed poll to a Tolkien character and seriously consider naming your children after LOTR characters.

Every time you see birds in the sky you have the urge to say "Fly you fools!"
(YES! And "Crabain, from Dunland!")

When someone knocks on your door you grab them, pull them inside and ask "Are you frightened?... Not nearly frightened enough!"
(i have done this before)

Your computer's screensaver is a marquee reading, "Ennyn Durin atan Moria: pedo mellon a mino" and the password is actually "mellon".

You cannot see a beer without blurting out "It comes in pints? I'm getting one!"
(YES)

(YES)

You wash your face in the sink and expect to see things that are, that have been or that will be.
(haha, that has come to mind before when i've washed my face)

Your wedding band has started to weigh you down with it's evil powers.

Spending $35 at the grocery store seems expensive but its Perfectly fine to spend $70 on the Hardcover LOTR book with Alan Lee Illustrations.

You start keeping a LOTR Journal to write poems and inklings in.

You face every difficult decision with the thought "now what would Gandalf advise me to do?"

You know what Entmoot, Ent draught, or an Ent is for that matter

You've gained 20 pounds because you've started eating a "Second Breakfast"

A walking stick... you never leave home with out it.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to Lord of the Rings.

My current song obssession...


You know where to find me
by Matthew West

I saw your sky fall down today
Suddenly turn from blue to gray
'Til one by one the raindrops
Turned to tears upon your face
Wish there was something I could do
Wish I could ease the pain from you
But I've never felt so helpless
It's like you're drowning right in front of me
And I'm reaching out but you can't see
There's something holding on to you so tight
So I guess this is all I'll say to you tonight

If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I will be waiting
Where I've always been
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I have never left you
I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side

If the whole wide world is on your back
If the strength you need is the strength you lack
If you're in a crowd but all alone
If you can't stay here but you can't go home
If you can't answer all the whys
'Cause you're too tired to reach that high
I want you to remember

If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I will be waiting
Where I've always been
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I have never left you
I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side

If the whole wide world is on your back
If the strength you need is the strength you lack
If you're in a crowd but all alone
If you can't stay here but you can't go home
If you can't answer all the why's
'Cause you're too tired to reach that high
I want you to
I need you to remember

If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I will be waiting
Where I've always been
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I have never left you
I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side

"A friend is a man who knows all about you, and still likes you."

-Elbert Hubbard

. . .

...Something for you all to think about before you, yet again, bring up your stupid...pesty...annoying..."Go to college, or you'll never be anything" remarks...

Should girls go to college?

"...In society today, very few people give a second thought after graduation to whether or not they will go to college. It is usually just a given. You graduate from high school, you go to college.

Though this may be the widely accepted pathway, is this God's route for us as Christians? If you were stranded on a desert island and all you had was the word of God to base your decisions upon, would it change some of what you believe and do? How has the world's methodology influenced your thinking and practice?

In the past few years, we have seen many young people who appeared to be wise beyond their years go away to college and seemingly lose everything their parents taught them. We have seen them turn their back on God and break their parents hearts. After witnessing such things, we began really thinking through the whole college experience in light of God's Word.

God created women to be the a help meet for men (Genesis 2:18). Women are not only created to be the help meet for man, they are created to be under the authority of a man (Ephesians 5:22, Colossians 3:18, 1 Timothy 2:12). Scripture is clear that fathers and husbands are to be the heads of their household (1 Corinthians 11:3) and that wives are to submit to their husbands (Ephesians 5:22). How does college prepare a young woman for any of those things?"

...No, I am not going to college or furthering my education in any way after I graduate...No, I do not know what I am going to do after I graduate, and yes it does bother me...and you all being idiots to me isn't helping any.
Now leave me the heck alone...before I really tell you what I think about you all being pests...

Some funny stuff...

Used Cows

LOTR Funnies

Random things

I just had a random urge to blog..but then i realized, that i have abosolutely nothing to blog about. . . so here's a few random things that I have discovered with the Chetballs. . .


Bugs are evil.

Sonic just needs to get rid of their weird drink menu because... I don't know about you, but Chocolate Blue Coconut Dr. Pepper just sounds freaking disgusting to me.

Ducks like to chase wesome people...they dont like oweo ice cream...and old men like to sit around on picnic tables and talk about zucchini bread while they're being yelled at by said ducks.

Wendy's oweo ice cream isnt good, and neither is McDonalds.

Wendy's employees don't really like it when you make bombs out of oweo bags...then explode them all over the table.

Earrings and a red beard on a guy....don't look good. . . . .

Football is pointless.


...Chet secretly wants to be a biker...he just doesn't know it yet... :D

...We are wesome hooligans...

. . .

wow...am I ever behind... :D

*just as a note to all who read this..and even if you don't, you're expected to know what this says* . . . Do NOT! *I repeat* DO NOT! Ask me what I am doing after I graduate, or where i'm going to collge, why i'm not going to college, and dont badger/yell/give lectures/scold me/anything else...about college, or anything that comes after graduate... (you all waaaaay overkill those topics, and i'm tired of it) I might know what I'm going to do, and I might not, and if i do, then i wont tell you, because you've bugged the heck out of me about it for so long... :P

lol


Dollar General
ok, so....I am not working at DG anymore. That turned from a part time job...into almost a full time one...so needless to say I wasn't getting much schoolwork done..I ended up with three times the work load that I should have had, along with running the register...and to top that off everyone there was absolutely horrible to me..so after a long story short, I got fed up with it. *shrugs* what to do?


School
I've been massively behind *see above*, but I'm pretty much caught up...and will most likely be finished in 2 1/2-3 months...depends how much of hooligan laziness comes up.... :D

Medical...
After a long drawn out medical story and long stories about dumb doctors..I have Pleurdynia...a virus that attacks and kills the muscles in the ribcage area...
The dumb doctors couldn't do anything *rolls eyes, of course* except give me a medicine that could barely cover the pain. So Terphs mom, furthermore known at Auntie G...who is a license natural health specialist (..or soemthing like that), found some medicines to help me..and castor oil packs for the pain. Which are totally working. :D


Saturday
...We (being the family and I) went to Lexington to Calens hospitals annual cancer survivor picnic...yeah...I was bored, but I let the sibs drag me onto the big blow up slides and toys they had, and that made them happy...and the wesome called me..so it was ok. I also managed to talk calen and zachary into getting face paint, on their arms...but the catch was that I had to do it also, so I got a butterfly...after that we went to Michaels, where I bought some canvases, then to the hobby store..Then came the trip home, we were almost to the highway..we stop at a stop light...and SMASH!!!11 Someone decides to smash into the back of Vinny...poor Vinny...and poor mine and moms necks...ouch.

Hmmmmm
ok...*thinks*...
I just realized that there hasn't been much mention of the Wesome on here... *wont' let me upload pic....* Anyway...Wesome hooligan time comes on the weekend, and is spent going to the park, getting chased and attacked by ducks, getting oreo ice cream, skittles, making fun of wierd peoples, killing off stupid people, and making oreo bag bombs in wendys... haha
...Tuesday was the first piano lesson back from the break... yeah.
I have lots of pics to post...whenever blogger will let me...*sigh*

. . .I think that pretty much sums it all up. . .

*off to bed now* yawn...
