I'm really lonely, but I know i'll make it. We'll make it.


Livin' For You
(Boston)

"Livin' without you never could be so wrong
Don't need to say it, I never waited so long
Thinking about you in everthing I do
Love for giving
You know I'm just livin' for you
And I, I never needed to lie
Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying
It's love that you see
You're just the one for me
I'm praying

Maybe I'm dreaming, don't want to wake up now
Baby, I love you, I always knew it somehow
Happened so easy, don't need to think it through
It's not so amazing
Been going so crazy for you

Dreaming and hoping, hoping that dreams come true
You're my religion, girl, I've been living for you
Don't want to fight it, tried everything I know
I won't deny it
You're everywhere I try to go

And I, I never needed to lie
Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying
It's love that you see
You mean the world to me
I'm praying for you

Knew it so easy, don't have to think it through
Love is for giving
I know I'm just livin' for you

Love is for giving
I know I'm just livin' for you"



It's no secret.
I love you.

Warriors of the Truth

I am a fighter
A warrior with a shield of truth
Feared by the underworld
Because of the source of my strength

I am a human
My skin will bleed
And my bones may be broken
But my soul is guarded by an infallible truth
And you will never defeat him

I close my eyes
Fight the pain
Swallow my pride
And smother my fear
Because I know
I am on the winning side.

What is this constant battle we're fighting?
Light against the dark
Fire against the cold
Truth against the lies

An invisible enemy
Dark and deceptive
He is powerful
But when the soldiers come
He runs in terror

Though the shadows in the evening come
There is fire in our eyes
And passion in our hearts.
We stand strong and unwavering
Invincible because of the truth
Silent warriors united on an invisible battlefield

Who are we?
We have been brought up
Out of the fires of hell
The pits of dispair
And the depths of the worst shame
And given hope
For no earthly reason

We had no reason to live
And we were given purpose
No happiness in life
And we were given joy
We had constant turmoil
And we were given continuing peace
And we had no right to be forgiven
But forgiveness is given to us everyday.

Who are we?
We are ordinary men
With an extraordinary mission
Mighty and Powerful
Warriors of the truth
Messengers of love
Receivers of forgiveness

And on our own
We are nothing.

Hey people,

For anyone who wants to know, here is my new address at Calvin:

(My Name)
260 Veenstra Hall
Calvin College
Grand Rapids, MI 49546-4425

My dorm phone # is 616-526-0788. If you need to call then call. I don't yet have an answering machine, but my roommate is totally awesome, and if i'm not there just talk to her, i'm sure she won't mind. lol... or just call my cell. ;-)

My on-campus EM is now LKH4@calvin.edu

So today was "chaos day" at Calvin. For those of you non-Calvin people, chaos day is like an extremely glorified field day... only A TON more fun! Our girls and guys floors (one dorm) placed 2nd out of all 7 teams... and we almost won!! We won one of the events I entered. I'm soooo tired, and now I have no voice. hehe. Last night the dorms who didn't win last year (including ours) staged a jerico-like march around the previous year winner's dorm. It was at 2 in the morning, woot!!

This morning I was rudely awakened by a cow bell.
at 7am.
curses to those who do such deeds.

I pillaged 3 pops today.. I felt rebelious. that's right, don't mess.

BV ROCKS!!! WOOOOOO!
(holy crap i'm going preppy, someone shoot me.)

random quote from the tenor section:

Dr. Ivory: we need to re-distribute the tenor section. Who can sing tenor 1?
Tenors: not it, not it, not it, not it, not it....
Lone tenor: ... CRAP. *walks solemnly to front row*

Well I love you all dearly and I hope to hear from you soon! By the way... Wittwer can you see my blog now?? I miss you love!!

Love,
Kat

hey y'all!

Well those of you who said getting wisdom teeth taken out wasn't so bad were right for the most part. I wore my "Mr Bubble" pj's for reassurance, and I even got a few compliments. hehehe. I'll admit that I was pretty scared this morning sitting in the waiting room. The lady who put in my IV was nice. She and I had a somewhat long conversation about how the nurses who can never seem to get a needle into one of my veins.... She (thankfully) was not one of them, and I was happy. It's wierd sitting in a dentist chair with a bunch of nurses crowded over you, and the only noise you can hear is the heart monitor getting faster as you get more nervous. I wanted to smack the two who were talking about how much they hated their jobs as they walked around getting things ready. The surgeon was nice. He held my hand and told me i'd be ok. *sniffle* I wish they were all like that. The last things I sensed as I was going under were the 4 shots of novicane they gave me and the surgeon telling me "you'll feel a poke". I didn't stay asleep long after either, I felt the nurse taking the IV out of my arm and immediatly woke up. It was trippy man. haha. So I came home and watched some tv and attempted to eat a litle later (i've developed a new appreciation for cottage cheese and spaghetti O's). I feel lots better now! My aunt said I didn't even sound like i'd had surgery. Everyone is being really nice to me too. I get to eat ice cream and watch tv all day! The only thing that bugged me about the ordeal was the fact that they had to stretch my lips to the point of tearing to get to the back of my mouth. That hurts, but i'll survive. Thanks everyone for your continuing support!

I love all 4 of you who read this a lot and I hope to talk to you before I have to leave!

Oh, and thanks for the flowers Love!! They're beautiful!! I never knew carnations came in that color. =D

Love,
Laura

Guess who's back!!
....
That's right, it's me! Didn't y'all miss me? hehehe. Or maybe you were hoping i'd never come back? ;-) I missed you guys.

So I walked outside onto my back porch this morning and was verbally assualted by some strange animal on top of my roof. It had the face of a lemur (however you spell that), the tail of a squirl, and it sounded like a monkey... (no i'm not on acid, this happened). It just barked at me a few times and scuttled away. Dude... talk about a wierd homecoming... Oh, and it was eating my peaches!!!
So after lunch I think i'm gonna do a little peach-eating-alien-monkey-squirl hunting. Anyone interested can join me. Stupid little alien must die.
Oh, and speaking of stupid...
I'm currently without a driver's liscense. It's in Ohio in my boyfriend's wallet. *looks sheepish* He, being the wonderful, loving person that he is, is mailing it back to me. =)
Meh. I've had worse incidents...

There's never a dull moment in this house...
Anyways, i'll talk to you guys soon hopefully. Give me a call.

Next post i'll tell you about my trip!

Hey guys

i'm leaving in about 10min, but I have a little extra time.... I don't wanna drive 12 hours... ack. Well I guess it's time to leave. The lyrics to the song I sang this year at the variety show:

The Boy Why Never Knew

You say that love is cruel
You can do it on your own
But when you look in my eyes
You know you’re not alone

Am I a fool?
Am I blind?
Why can’t I speak
When my heart is crying?

I’ll never tell you
How my heart breaks when you leave the room
Or how the stars dance in your eyes
There may be nothing but these words that I sing for you
And the song to the boy who never knew
Just the song to the boy who never knew.

Don't let your future be your past
I see your pain you're falling fast
Don't hide the face
Behind the mask

I’ll never tell you
How my heart breaks when you leave the room
Or how the stars dance in your eyes
There may be nothing but the words here that I sing to you
And the song to the boy who never knew
And the song to the boy who never knew.

Hi y'all!

I guess it's time for a "happy post"... For clarification, I didn't mean for anyone to take that last post as "woe is me, my friends have ditched me." I just couldn't get a hold of anyone that night. I love you guys more than I can express, and I know the feeling is mutual. =)

So what's going on in my life... hmmmm... Well at the moment I'm sitting in an extremely uncomfortable chair listening to a bunch of Chinese people chatter away nonsensically. Is that a word? nonsensically.. nonsensibly?.. yeah. whatever. I gots a good edjumacation... hehe.

This is officially my last week of skating. My mom and I sat down and had a discussion the other day. Basically we (more her than me) decided that since I am no longer testing or competing.. or even skating except when I have a lesson… it doesn't make sense to keep paying all this money for lessons. So I talked to Jason yesterday morning and now I have 2 more lessons… ever… I NEVER HAVE TO GET UP AT 5AM AGAIN!!!!! YES!!!.. Alright, so I'm not quite that happy. Skating has been my life since I was 8 years old. When I was competing I hardly ever had a social life or a summer… Some of you remember this and were very happy when I stopped... It gave me strength, determination, goals, confidence…. sleep loss, back problems, knee problems, physical therapy, anxiety attacks…. A lot of my life has been affected by it.. So I don't know how to feel quite yet… and I'm afraid of being out of shape…. Meh, I get to sleep in, who cares… In any case, my last day is Friday morning. =(

Random change of subject…

LOOK! A BLUE CAR!!!

hmmm, so I'm curious... Would it be possible to have sex in a tree? Now that's a serious question, don't get perverted on me. *crosses arms and attempts to look serious* Now I know it would be possible in a tree house... but in the branches of a tree? I ask because I accidentally overheard someone talking about it (it gets extremely boring around here at times and we all know what kind of bizarre conversations arise from extreme boredom.. wink wink). But yes... The mechanics of the thing? Ouch! I suppose where there's a will there's a way, but you'd have to be extremely horney, or a gymnast....... or really bored with a lot of time on your hands.

So far I've only heard one other opinion...

creativeoncommand: I'm talking about sex in a tree
teejnits: wow
creativeoncommand: I'm just asking a serious question…
creativeoncommand: is it possible to have sex in a tree?
teejnits: haha... a serious question?
creativeoncommand: lol
creativeoncommand: yup
creativeoncommand: I don't know if that's physically possible
teejnits: I think it is
teejnits: How do you think Tarzan had kids?
creativeoncommand: lol
creativeoncommand: good point
creativeoncommand: no wait...
creativeoncommand: he had a tree house
teejnits: I never saw that in the Disney Movie
creativeoncommand: hehe
teejnits: I think it is possible on a bigger tree, it would just hurt a little
teejnits: or a lot
creativeoncommand: lol
creativeoncommand: it'd be rather prickly
teejnits: a bed of leaves?
teejnits: A NEST
creativeoncommand: a "love nest" haha


So maybe it is possible.... Gosh Disney really needs to take these things into consideration. Tarzan having a love nest? It seems rather wrong... hehe. I don't know where I get this stuff.. ANYWAYS... I think I've had a few too many mountain dews this morning.... Give me your thoughts on the subject...

look!! A shiny thing!!!!!

I'll be back later....
