In my opinion, best song to serenade your boyfriend or girlfriend with.
If I was serenaded with this song, I would cry.
So sweet.

So many interesting things occur at Cups.
Yesterday, I came here and there was this creepy man who kept staring at my two friends and I, well he's back again today. And of course, I get stuck in the "quiet room." The quiet room is the place where if you make even the smallest noise, everyone glares at you, I usually try to avoid it, but there were no open tables in the main room. But back to the creepy man. He is sitting in the quiet room right now, with me, and when I walked in he stared me down, again. I don't know why, but he just truly scares me. Along with the creepy man, there is this guy wearing a shirt that says "Fukudome." Now, I don't know much about sports players names, but I'm pretty sure that's not someone's last name. Well, at least he's expressing his opinion. And then there's the one person out of everyone I know. Only one! And when I walked in I completely avoided him, that was probably dumb because now I'm awkwardly sitting alone. Lastly, my favorite Cups employee isn't here. I have no clue what his name is, but he's always so nice, to everyone. Well, that was my rant, maybe I'll get some studying done. Oh wait, here comes the creepy man, what is he doing.......don't worry, he just wanted to know what I was writing, which only made things slightly awkward since I happened to be writing about him. Haha.

Also, I wanted to mention that I found an interesting blog to read yesterday! This guy is pretty interesting; it's amazing what awesome blogs you can find just by typing in a location (that sounds strange, but I just meant I typed in my city because I thought it might be cool to read someone else's from around here.) His blog is called "Life as a Desert Nomad." You should check it out. But some advice, which I obviously didn't follow here, try not to "follow" bloggers that you don't know. Once again, another good one is "The Apocalypse is Looking for a Few Good Clowns."

I felt the need to share some snapshots of my life. :)

Another picture of mine.

A hobby of mine.
Photography.
I'm not the best, but I enjoy it.

My sister and I.
Oh how I love her.

Symbolic meaning?
Does everything truly have it?
I'm sure complex things do, but some things just don't.
Last night while I was eating my Golden Bowl with Veggies at the Grit (best restaurant existing), I overheard some girls talking. Actually, it was kind of hard not to hear because they were really loud. I swear, they were like a movie babbling on to each other about nothingness. But, then we get to the good part of when one girl starts talking about how when her friend graduated, his graduation symbolized money, and the money represented free will, prosperity, and a new beginning. Okay, really?!? Money to a graduate, if it does symbolize anything, symbolizes freedom, parties, alcohol. (Not saying I think that it's the right thing to do, but it's true.) So yes, this was my experience with symbolism.

The reason I am awake right now is to get ready for church, so I obviously wanted to share this because I'm taking time out of the 20 minutes I set aside for myself to get ready. And yes, this was extremely important for your well-being to know how my night was.

Maybe the apple symbolizes nothing. But the apple always symbolizes something. Oh wait, it symbolizes that Marian hasn't changed and she is untouched by the event! Wow, that's right.

You know those things/people/places you build up in your mind to be great and then they don't live up? Well, I'm really not trying to be negative, but I think I'm doing that!
I do believe I watch too many movies.....about love.
All of the perfect men and happy endings.
I'm not saying I don't believe in either of those,
but I doubt it my ideas of how and what will happen are exactly what will happen.
I'm a hopeless romantic.

This is my perfect date:
Be told where to meet him, but I don't know what exactly the place is.
Wear really nice clothes and get all dressed up.
Walk inside a dark place with just a few small lights,
then see him come out of nowhere with a single red rose.
After that, we dance.
Music or no music;
it doesn't matter.
Then we look lovingly in each others eyes and know it's love.

Who knows? Maybe this could actually happen?

And I, to your dismay or content, have a quote.
It's from one of my favorite movies:
Never Been Kissed (I think it's a favorite since I have yet to be.)

That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky you found it and so scared it will go away all at the same time.

This time of year can be very stressful,
or not! I've chosen not to make it that way.
Even while studying for midterms, I'm making the best of it.
Cups Cafe is such a great place to study at.

Yes, I am giving some props to Athens right now.
It has a good cafe, that's an achievement. :)

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like it might snow this year.
Every time I step outside, I can just feel it.
Or
Maybe I'm completely wrong.
Only time will tell.


I feel quite silly about this, but I've never even mentioned my church as a place in Athens!
This just shows how jumbled my brain is, especially since my church's name has "Athens" in it.
Yes, I know what you're thinking, "When is she going to stop babbling about not mentioning her church and actually mention it?"
Well, now:
Life Church of Athens.

It's a really awesome place! We worship the Lord like it's going out of style. :)
We're a Southern Baptist Church, but anyone is welcome!
Services start at 10:30 and we meet at Barnett Shoals Elementary.

If you ever get the chance, join us!
I'll be there.
So if someone recognizes me, say "hello."
I LOVE to chat.

Until next time, here's my quote of the day:
Because a sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free.

www.swoutfitters.com
know about it.

This place is probably the most incredible place ever.
It's a Christian camp in the mountains of Andrews, NC.
Every time I go there, I come back with a new meaning of LOVE.
Love is Christ.
You know, that man who died willingly for us so we wouldn't have to receive our punishment?
Yeah, him.
The most incredible man to ever exist.


And while I was there, I think about 10 people asked me if I was in college.
Craziness... ;)
But, in case anyone was wondering, I've narrowed my options of colleges and majors down to:
CofC
Gainesville State College
Faulkner State Community College
Houston Baptist University

And then majors:
Forensic Science
Physical Therapy
Religious Studies

Yeah, so that's pretty much it.

"Father, hear me when I, call Your name. I need you to answer me now. Father, here I am, weak in Your sight. Can you rescue me now? I'm crying out, can't figure it out on my own."
