So as I am getting ready for bed and checking my email and my myspace, xanga, and facebook for the final time tonight, I have come across a bulletin on my myspace. It is about this girl who lived in Washington state. who was slain for no reason. there is no apparent motive to this all. she was at work, then was stabbed to death. i have never met this girl in my life, but yet i find myself wanting to cry for her. She was just 6 days shy of her 18th birthday, just a month or so from graduation. but that has been taken from her. it has made me think about the fact that i have taken this life for granted. i take for granted that i will be able to talk to everyone tomorrow, but who is to say i will? my life could end just like hers did. I have noticed that others must feel the same, i have seen people who have added her to their friend list from across the country. new york, kentucky, oklahoma, so on and so forth. and people say that the teens of today only care about themselves.  Read More »

I'm not sure if this has been said around anyone else, but I know I've heard it. I have been considering changing my major for the past few weeks, and finally made the decision to change to become a nurse. I was told that I should become a doctor instead, because "doctors can be girls too". this is very true. however, i have heard many people who still live back when only nurses were female.  Read More »

Ok, so I'm supposed to tell you all why I blog huh? Well, for me personally, I blog to get evrything out. I have lots of problems with talking my problems, stresses, joys, etc. out with people. I am a written person, not a vocal person. If I can write things down to clear my head, that is what I will do. One of my best friends has been trying to get me to change, so that I will talk everything out with people, rather than write them a huge letter or email. The change just isn't happening. I have just found blogging to be my out so that I can think things through and be able to actually talk to people easier. Blogging is one of my ways to express myself and my feelings. I haved used one of my blogs to thank a bunch of my friends at once, I have blogged to get other people's opinions on what is going on in my life, and I have blogged to release frustration and anger that way I didn't do something I would soon regret. I know that had I not wrote everything out, I probably would've called the person I was having a problem with, yelled at them, and quite possibly lost a friend. Blogging is just one of those things that helps me get through the tough times in my life.  Read More »
