What is it with the South and their obsession with loading everything in grease?
Ew.

The Countdown Begins
There are approximately fifteen days until Dale and I head back to school, not including the actual day of departure.
Fifteen long, tiresome days.
I don't know the words to accurately describe this summer. It's been an adventure, I'll say. There are moments which I'd rather not relive, and times when I wish I hadn't been stupid and ignorant, but all in all it's been good.
I cannot wait to go back to school. I'm leaving so many damaged relationships behind here, and I could use the chance to start over with my school friends. Maybe, unlike my friends at home, they won't have to forget how much they mean to me because maybe I won't fail to show it.
If you, Maine people, are reading this, please know that I love you. If I hurt you this summer, it wasn't intentional. If it looked as if I didn't care about you, please know that I did. And I do. I can't redo the past, as much as I'd like to, but if you're willing to start over, I could use a second chance.
If you're reading this, no matter who you are, I sorely need honesty. Tell me the truth, no matter how much it may hurt me. If you think I'm an idiot, tell me. If you think I'm wonderful, tell me. If you don't tell me, I'll never know, and I'll go through life thinking that I'm something I'm not.
If you're reading this, and we didn't get to hang out, even though I said we would, I apologize. It was hard to escape the trap that is my hometown, without wheels of my own. I love you, and I will keep trying. :)
If you are reading this, school people, I miss you tons! I'm counting down the days till I get to see you again. <3
If you are reading this, and aren't some random creeper that just happened upon my blog, I love you.

Too lazy for anything but a list.
- I can't wait for July 1st, so that I can start writing my stories!
- People, seriously, stop being mean to lifeguards. We're not babysitters, nor are we the cause of all negative ocurrances in the pool.
- I love my finace.
- I love my friends.
- Sometimes I'm so bored that I start to miss homework. Yes, I need a life.
- "Till We Have Faces" by C.S. Lewis is a fantastic book so far. It's great to have time to read, at last.
- Micheal Buble fills me with sunshine.
- I miss having my own wheels.
- Life is good.
- God is good.

I Exist!
Hey there!
I do, in fact, still exist. Things have been crazy as of late. I've been busy.
Here's what's been going on in my life: First of all, I'm ENGAGED!!! <33
*silly grin* On our one-year anniversary of dating, he took me to the beach. We had a picnic, explored the town, took lots of pictures, and splashed water at each other like little kids. As we were walking on the shoreline for the last time before leaving, he stooped down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I, of course, was ecstatic and didn't stop saying "Yes, yes, yes" until he picked me up and twirled me around on the beach.
Yes. I am happy. :D :D :D
We've set the wedding date for next year. Some people think we're still too young and that we need to finish college first...but I don't really care. Some confidence would be nice, but hey. People have married younger and been successful too. We've been through a lot together already, and I'm confident that God will carry us through.
In other news, I finally finished reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. I don't even really know how I felt about it, mostly because I was foolish enough to see the movie first. If you plan on reading that book, do not--I repeat, do NOT--watch the movie. The ending in the movie was totally different from the one in the book. Key characters were also either left out or "sanitized", so to speak, in the movie version. *growls* I would love for the movie industry to come up with their own stories and leaves books alone for a while.
Speaking of books, I'm planning on writing one. Starting July 1st, I'm going to commit myself to writing one short story per month and then at the end of the 12-month period, put them into one volume for publication. More on that in my other blog, Mask and Unveiling to come soon.

Packing...again?
When I get back to Maine I will:
- Laugh obnoxiously with my friends
- Swim in the ocean, regardless of how cold it is
- Drive with the window rolled down and the music cranked up
- Drink too much coffee and read at Barnes & Noble
- Write a lot
- Daydream
- Enjoy the lack of humidity
- Go to the library
- Work at an outdoor with multiple screaming children *shudders*
- Rub it in my siblings' faces that they're still in school and I'm not ^^
- Visit my church camp and remember the good times I've had there
- Watch my high school friends graduate (hopefully)
- Miss my college friends a lot
- Celebrate mine and my boyfriend's one-year anniversary <3
- Breathe...then get ready to do the school thing all over again

New Blog. The Decemberists. The Final Countdown.
Second: Sierra and Erin introduced me to The Decemberist's album, The Hazards of Love. It's a gorgeous rock opera. All 17 tracks are on YouTube, so I strongly urge everyone to go there and listen to all of them in order. Do it. Now. You won't be sorry.
Lastly, keep me in your prayers as I am preparing for finals.
That is all.
