Indeed, he is a great song writer and singer.

 

"When destiny calls you
You must be strong (you gotta be strong)
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on"

^^^ This line gives me chills every time.

Sorry you got the grumps...so here is some you might like.

 

I particularly like Son of Man, Look Through my Eyes, and Everything that I am. I could listen to him sing all day long.

 

I'll have to watch that when I get home.   I'm actually not the biggest fan of game grumps. My friend Dayne thinks they're hilarious, and she tells me all the time that there's something wrong with my sense of humor. LOL. I just don't find them all that funny.

Alright, so I've completed my first Communication Sciences exam, and overall, I think I did really well. Except I couldn't for the life of me remember which legislation allowed public services to be provided to all impaired children, from birth to age 21. I erased my answer so many times, I almost rubbed a hole through my test. Oh well. At most, I expect to score in the 85% - 90% range... Not bad, but I could have done better. Anyway, now I have an extra two hours on my hands, and there's no one around to talk with. I was hoping to meet up with a friend of mine, but she's busy doing fun things like body painting in her art class. I'm jelly.

 

I could really use a nap right now too. I slept terribly last night. Even though my fan was on the highest setting and I was only using a sheet, (that's full of holes, thanks to Beans), I just couldn't sleep. The bed wasn't cold enough, and that's always annoying. If I had it my way, the A/C would be turned on full blast year round. I like to feel like I'm in an ice box when I'm sleeping. Also, I think I need to get rid of more pillows on my bed. I've already thrown out five of them, but there are still eight on my bed. (I really like pillows.)

 

I'm not sure what else to talk about. /socially awkward

[Slextrem]

"Juice... Juice... How do you pronounce it? I say, 'dj-oo-s'. Look at my lips. 'dj-oooooo-s'." /listening to other CSD students work on their phonetics assignment.    I love this field, and thinking about how strange this must come off to other people.

We met during a Skype call. A mutual friend invited us both into a group chat. You were nervous talking with so many strangers. I was curious about who you were. You made up for your silence by sending funny pictures. They made me laugh, and I thought you were cute. You sent me a friend invite after that conversation. I wanted to get to know you, so I clicked "accept".

 

We didn't talk much at first. We were both still strangers and didn't know what to say. You broke the ice by asking me about cereal. I said I hated Captain Crunch because it was like eating glass. You teased me about it for the next year, Capn Banjo.

 

We continued sending messages to each other. You were always so positive and had a great sense of humor. I admitted that I was shy and insecure about myself. You said that you believed in me. I started to believe in myself too.

 

Neither of us had a date for Valentine's Day, but I was happy to spend the night laughing with you. We agreed that it was an overrated holiday. You joked that you would be forever alone. I suggested we be forever alone together. You were my first valentine.

 

You started having girl troubles at school that spring. You said that you met someone in your art class. She was gentle, and graceful, and cute. You asked me for advice. I had a hard time giving it...

 

You were sad when things didn't work out with the girl in your art class. You felt like no one wanted you. I knew you were wrong. It was hard watching you hurt, and I felt guilty because a selfish part of me felt relieved. I wished that we weren't so far away.

 

That summer, I learned that your university offered a program that I needed to complete my degree. It would take a year to save the money to go, and I wasn't sure how my parents would react, but you were excited when you heard about it. We spent that day making a list of things to do together: Taking shots of hot sauce before eating a full order of blazing wings, walking around the mall at night in tie-dye and sun glasses, driving out to the river and watching the stars... I requested more hours at work the next day. 

 

We found out that we had a lot more in common that we originally thought. We ate the same sandwich at Subway, our younger brothers shared the same name, and we both had an addiction to OMGpop. We spent a lot of time playing "Draw my Thing" and "Fourplay". We agreed that whoever named the games was a total pervert.

 

I realized that I was in love with you in early July. You liked to be goofy on most days, but you showed your maturity when you needed to. You were a hard worker, and always had other people in mind. You rarely complained when things didn't go your way, and you listened attentively when I needed someone to talk to. You taught me to smile when I was feeling down and helped me find the silver lining to all of my problems. You were perfect, and I was counting my blessings. It would be 13 months before I could tell you my feelings in person. I started counting down the days too.

 

We ran into our first miscommunication that summer. You wanted to know what physical quality I looked for in a partner. I said big arms because I feel safe when they're wrapped around me. I was thinking of you when I said it. You thought I meant a body builder. I was confused when you stopped talking to me. Later, you explained that you didn't think you stood a chance. You couldn't have been more wrong.

 

We also liked the same music. We spent a lot of our Skype calls making lists of our favorite country songs. I tried giving you hints about my feelings through the songs that I shared with you. You sent me a link to The World by Brad Paisley. I responded with God Gave Me You.

 

<3

 

On September 14th, our Skype call lasted 10 hours. You wanted to tell me something important, but you were hesitant to say it. I ended up confessing to you. I was nervous and afraid of how you'd react. You said you had been wanting to tell me the same thing. I had butterflies in my stomach all night.

 

We realized that we never specified a change in our relationship. You liked me and I liked you, but technically we weren't a couple. You spent the next week and six days trying to change that. You were nervous and shy and always got interrupted. It was the sweetest thing, and your efforts always made me smile.

 

On September 27th, you got the chance to ask me your question:

 

"...Can I call you my girlfriend?"

 

There was only one answer:

 

"...Yes!"

 

The two years that we've spent together since then have been an absolute fairy tail, and I'm so glad to have shared them with you. We've had our share trials, but we always make our way through them - together. I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you for being there for me and for making me smile every day. You are the greatest blessing in my life.

 

I love you.

I realize it's not quite the 27th yet, but we've been celebrating a bit early this year. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share some old memories on here, so here they are:

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Andrew - 2011:

I know you're sleeping, but I wanted to leave this message for you since my homework got in the way of my time with you (which I again apologize for) :

You're absolutely amazing, everything about you. Your personality, your laughter, your beauty, and even the gentle sound of you sleeping that I can hear as I type this.

The day when I will get to meet you face-to-face and tell you how much I love you will be great, and the day when I get to share that first kiss with you and hold you in my arms will be very special too, I have no doubt.

For a long time, I've been praying to God that He would bring a wonderful woman into my life, and when He brought you into my life, He did more than meet what I was asking. He brought a woman into my life that I feel unworthy of. A woman who loves me, accepts me, and cares for me. He brought you into my life, Lauren, and I couldn't be happier.

I am going to try my best to be the man that you deserve to have in *your* life. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, or even just to lean on, I am here for you. If you ever need someone to talk to or pray for you, I am here for you. If you need someone to love you and to hold you, I am here for you.

Have a great night, and get plenty of rest. I will do what I can to get my homework out of the way tomorrow while you are at work, that way I can give you my undivided attention when you get home.

I love you, Lauren, and I'm so glad that you said "yes."

 

 

Happy Two Year Anniversary

I'm very sleepy right now, so you can understand why I skipped most of the read, but its about love so hey, congrats and I hope that this seed of love keeps growing into that vast and beautiful forest that we all dream about. :)

Thanks, Shadow. That's a very sweet thing for you to say.

Ibuprofen, you're my best friend today.

[Quinny52]

I can understand that statement, I thought the same thing when I had an abscess in one of my teeth a few years ago, though how I avoided overdosing is beyond me! LOL

 

Congrats to you both on your aniversary, you found eachother and came a long way to study to make it work, so I'm sure this relationship is for keeps. Best wishes to you both.

Oh, an abscess tooth sounds absolutely dreadful.   I'm terrified of anything like that happening to my teeth. I was so paranoid after having my wisdom teeth pulled because of dry socket. Ugh... I can't even imagine how painful that would be. Makes me want to puke a little, to be honest.

 

I think I may have taken a few too many pills yesterday. I was feeling a bit loopy by the time I went to bed.

 

Thank you very much, Quinn!   I wonder what we're doing on Friday... He's made plans to go out but he's keeping it a secret from me.

[Slextrem]

My brother thinks he's going to get $300.00 out of his limited edition Star Wars PSP, even though it's been opened and used, the box is gone, the charger is missing, and he stored it under his bed for who knows how many years. The cherry on the cake? He's taking it to a pawn shop...

 

Good luck with that, kiddo!

[MangaReader]

No one like my blog, so I figured I'd stop by XD

 

Saw the love thing and figured (more like remembered) my love life sucks. 

 

But I didn't came here to complain or bring despair...what's up lately, you hardly talk to me on Skype ^_^ Still in College?

[Quinny52]

@Slex -

Take my word for it...

I don't know how I made it through that week waiting for my appointment; I was going through pills like candy, sometimes 3-4 at a time (max 8 a day) to take the pain away because if you ever have an abscess the pain is perpetual. I got 3-4 hours of comfort before it started all over again. I would be woken up in the middle of the night, it was awful.

No one enjoys root canal surgery and/or taking antibiotics, but I was thankful for it a few weeks later when the infection was gone. I had to stop myself taking the pills at one point because I'd become so dependent on them. Thankfully I discovered the miracle invention that is - Floss!. Not to stop it from getting stuck between my teeth...

 

Your brother sounds like an optimistic lad, though I can't see him getting anything near that price. Still, can't fault his positiveness.

 

Well, whatever he's got planned, I say leave him to it. You'll probably end up more surprised that way. Enjoy yourselves all the same.

 

@MangaReader - Keep your spirits up, man. I'm sure there's someone out there for you.

Don't think about it then. There is so much more to life than having a boyfriend or a girlfriend. You should enjoy the time that you have on your own and use it to think about your future. What kind of goals do you want to set for yourself? Where do you want to be in five years? What makes you happy? Finding love does not determine if you've lived a full and successful life. Only you can do that for yourself. :)

 

I haven't really been on Skype. I sign on mostly to talk with my parents, which happens maybe twice in a month, so I don't really get the chance to talk with anyone else. I've been busy with school too. I've got so much homework, I don't even know where to start with it. @ - @

 

How have you been?

I am so unbelievably sorry that that happened to you. The entire experience sounds horrible, especially the root canal surgery. Dentists give me the creeps because of things like that. 

 

I've been putting in extra effort to keep my teeth clean this year. I found out that I have early-stage gum disease, so I've been flossing and brushing all of the time. I spent $30.00 on a waterpik and scheduled four cleanings this year too. Checkmate, Gingivitis.

 

I'm going to step into the protective big sister role and say, "no". I don't want to see him get ripped off, and he will if he tries selling it at a pawn shop. Besides, there really isn't any profit to be made off of it in the first place. I have it with me, so I would have to spend money to send it to him, and he would have to pay money to pick it up because of duty fees. It's obviously not in good shape, so that cuts the value by at least half of what a new one would go for, and I'm sure he'd get swindled into selling it for even less. Even if he tried selling it online, he'd have to pay for shipping on top of everything else, and at that point he's made maybe $50.00. He'd be better off hanging onto it.

Oh, I'm not planning on butting my nose in it. I want to see what he comes up with, and I like being surprised. Though I would be more than happy just spending time with him.

I don't know how I'm going to survive today and tomorrow. I've had so much homework this week that I haven't been able to stay on top of it all. At least I've completed all of my math assignments on time, but I've still got a five page paper due tomorrow at noon that I haven't started yet... *sigh* The plan right now is to go home, take a power nap, and spend the night working on my paper. Then I just have to get through a 9 hour day of school and make it home without falling asleep in my car.

 

Why do I do this to myself?

[MangaReader]

Good to here everything is well

 

Eh, I've been as good as it can probably get right now :)

 

Classes still take as much out of me as they did when I first started 2 years ago (man time flies) ._.

Because procrastinating is fun? Nah not really, but I'm horribly known to do it. Makes my life a living hell and every time I tell myself I'll stop...nope

That's good to hear. :] 

 

Yeah, I hear you on that. My classes are killing me this semester. It's because I have to take English, and I can't stand classes that require a lot of writing. I'm just no good at it.

 

Bolded: I relate so much to that. I can't help it though - the internet is so distracting. I'm the same way with staying up late. I tell myself that I'll be in bed by 9:00 every night, but then I remember to check my e-mail, and youtube, and tumblr, and H&E, and youtube again... Before I know it, it's 1:00 am.

[Slextrem]

I'm sick, and sleepy, and I just want to cuddle.

 

[StriderC]

What time did you crash last night?

[Slextrem]

What time did you crash last night?

 

I was going to go to sleep at about 11:00, but then Andy came in my room and hung out with me for a while. He fell asleep on my bed, but since I was running a fever, his body temperature kept me up. That and I couldn't breathe. Plus the fan was too cold, but I needed it on because I was also too hot. I don't think I passed out until about 1:45.

 

I still feel like I'm dying.

 

Bleh

Damn. I hate those types of fevers. All the quick chills and the temperature practically never being good enough. Hopefully you get well soon buddy! I'll have to check on you from time to time.

Saaaame here. I tried taking some Buckley's earlier and it helped a bit, but damn that stuff is awful. It's like drinking vapor rub. They don't lie when they say that it tastes awful. LOL.

 

Skip to 0:50

 

Thanks. I'm hoping this goes away by tonight, otherwise I'll be sneezing all over Andrew on our date. LOL. Happy two year anniversary~ :'D
