Time for a New Post

Hi...I'm in Regina right now. Hanging out with my cousins...and eating brownies...and playing settlers. Yeah, it's fun...and it's nice to get away because everything is so hectic at home. Mostly because Mandy (my cousin, she's 10) is potentially living with us for a while. Actually, she's been around since the end of June because her parents are not really parents. Which is probably the saddest thing for a kid. I couldn't imagine it.

And my mom is being super annoying right now. Not joking, it's the worst ever. I love her, but man...it's driving me nuts, and right now I am so glad that I don't have to be at home. She just wants me to be like her...and I'm not. I am not anything like her. I sometimes truly believe that I don't have an ounce of her blood in me. She wants me to "do things for other people"?!!? Since when is going to camp or youth something you do for other people??? Someone answer that for me, cuz it should be for YOU and for more importantly GOD. But no, I'm supposed to do it for other people. I'm supposed to call my "friends" because it will be good for them?!!? Ugh, it's annoying. But like I said, I still love her...it's just right now my respect for her is limited. She has been anything but deserving of my respect. She didn't even say goodbye to me, and I'm gone for a week! That kind of irked me. She just said "Carry your bags inside" and then she left.

I want to go back to school. I want to see people. I want to see my "friends". Because I haven't really had many friends this summer. Or this year. I'm trying to fix it...I just don't know how. So if you're my friend, call me up when I get home.

Caroline

Where do I begin?
There’s so much I want to say to make it easier
Tomorrow’s on it’s way
Do you believe I want to take your painful memories?
I know you want to run away
I know that you can’t see tomorrow

Chorus:
Caroline, let me wipe away your tears and give you life,
Make you feel beautiful again
Caroline, don’t throw it all away
I’m here tonight to take away your pain.

Yesterday is gone and everything that made you cry has fallen to the ground
I’m here to bring you home,
I will always take you back
You haven’t let me down
I know you want to run away
I know that you can’t see tomorrow

(Chorus)

And when you’re feeling al alone and you can’t go on,
Remember I am here
And when you think you’ve gone too far,
I‘ll meet you where you are
My arms are open wide

I love this song! (It's by Seventh Day Slumber, by the way). If a guy ever wrote me a song like this, I would love him forever. Who wouldn't?
