He had the world...

But he thought he wanted more.

Lyrics from Relient K's My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend. This entry is primarily to recount a story from today and directed towards a certain, special someone ;)

So I've been away at All-State Honor Chorus. And I knew that my ex-boyfriend (the one who cheated on me and just...the majority of people who I know read this know the story, for those who don't, well...our two-year relationship ended VERY badly) was also going to be attending this function. Thank heavens we are in different choirs and it took until today to run into him. I was really hoping I would never have to see him (like I said, we ended on very bad terms and I try to avoid him), but I didn't get my wish. As I walked out of the doors from my rehearsal room, I heard from name from a detestable, familiar voice. And I was staring at the boy a few feet ahead of me...who I'd rather see fall off the face of the earth instead of in front of me. But...he had already seen me and I couldn't be rude, it's just not in my character to ignore people. Thus, I had to suck up my pride and my emotions and talk to him.

Blast From The Past

Stories from the Orlando Airport

Okay guys. I figured I'd share something I'd written about a year ago when I got stuck in the Orlando Airport on a weekend trip to Disney World. So here goes!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't it ironic how a short weekend trip for fun could turn into a huge ordeal?

Isn't it also ironic how flying home is supposed to get me there sooner than driving?
Yeah, my weekend has definitely been interesting.
I'm coming to you live from the Orlando airport, waiting on a plane due to depart at 10:05. Wanna know the best part? The original departure time was 5:30. Yeah, it's that bad. And it's all thanks to Mother Nature and her freakish sense of humor to throw a snowstorm in Atlanta today and make all the nice people stuck in airports. Yay for us!
So...since I'm bored and have nothign to do, I'm going to bring you 'Stories from teh Orlando Airport'. -dun dun duh dun!- Exciting, yes I know, but please do try to contain yourself. I'm going to write a little miniature story about my day here. So, here we go!

District Honor Band

"I write music with an exclamation point!"

Quote credit to Richard Wagner, one of the many fantastic composers whose music I had the pleasure of playing this past weekend. District Honor Band is one of the many experiences that I love in my musical life. Not as fantastic as All-state but it is still incredible.

Valentines Day

How to write a poem

In honor of Valentine's day, I have decided to write a love poem. But to make it a tad more intersting, I went to wiki how for step by step directions :) Here they are, along with my work based off of following these instructions!

1. Write a page of standard prose, as fast as you can, about how you felt the first time you saw your loved one, how you felt the first time you knew you were in love, and how you feel right now about being together. These three moments in time will create the structure of your poem.

How is it that everything can seem so perfect? The way it feels to be in your arms, your smile and all of your charms. Your loving touch and gentle words we share. The joy inside from the way you care. The butterflies in my tummy and the dizziness in my heart. It's all just beginning but it's a great place to start.

Random Facts?

Oh the beauty of being random

Since it's been three days, and I had no idea what to blog about again. I'm going to post random facts that I love!!!! :) Hopefully this acceptable and we will both learn a little something.

Peter Pan

Surefire way to win my heart

This is going to be a short one, but I hadn't posted in over three days so here I am! Wowzers it's been a crazy weekend! My auditions today at the College of Charleston were not as wonderful as I would have hoped. But I shall live and life moves on! All that I can do now is wait and see what happens.

Besides the fact, somebody has discovered the surefire way to win my heart! It is through this amazing video. I have been in love with Peter Pan ever since I was little. I basically have the movie memorized. But every time I go to Disney World, I fail at seeing him. And it is usually that I missed him by about five minutes. It's a terrible terrible thing. BUT! The most amazing person in the universe went to Disney and saw him and get me a special video of him! Now I am an incredibly happy Sam!

Love, Love, and Love (Part Two)

"Love is great when you find

somebody to give it to."

Quote credit to Chris Myrick. Now that I have avoided the topic of romantic love, I actually do want to address my feelings on this. First, let me rant a moment.

I have been used and abused when it comes to love. I have been lied to, cheated on, had my heart broken and stepped on. Multiple times. So when it comes to love, I try to be a little wary now. I told myself I'd take my time and fall slowly, afraid to be hurt again. Turns out that goal went down the hole. (But that's another story for another time. Oh, and just to be clear, I'm currently very okay with that goal not working out. It ended up being incredible <3 )

Love, Love, and Love (Part One)

"A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge."

Quote credit to Thomas Carlyle. Note, the quote does not speak about a particular kind of love. It just states a "loving heart". Let me be blunt for a moment. People piss me off about love sometimes. They knock others down for loving and there's 'rules' set in place and wowzers it makes me mad sometimes. Just wow. Some situations currently occuring in my life and a friend's facebook status (reading "QUIT SAYING UR IN LOVE U CANT BE " IN LOVE " WITH EVERY PERSON U MEET") got me thinking. Cause I say 'I love you' often. I know I do and I'll be the first to admit that. But. . . I mean it every time. That's where my issues with 'love' comes in. People really don't understand what it is and the abundance of it there should be.
