Just A Thought

"Sometimes it's better to be alone. Nobody can hurt you."-Meg (Hercules)

An interesting theory/philosophy and I'd say one that I agree with, but, honestly, I avoid people because I don't want to hurt them. If you avoid people you don't have to worry about accidentally offending somebody or yelling at them because of something stupid they did and then in the end feeling hurt and stupid yourself. So when you are alone, really, nobody can hurt you.
When nobody knows who you are it's impossible to hurt them. Though, sometimes you ultimately end up hurting yourself. You put those hateful thoughts into your own head and you bring yourself down. All those mistakes you've made and the person you are, nobody knows what that's like. So why bother trying to explain it to them? Besides, after you've revealed those secrets to them they might end up leaving you anyway. Unfortunately, in our society today people are quicker to be angry than to forgive (I'm definitely guilty of this too) when it should really be the other way around. But, being slow to anger and quick to forgive is something we must do for ourselves, not just for others....
It's hard to know sometimes who you can trust and who to put your faith in. It's hard to know if you should be honest with a person when they ask, "How are you doing?" Do they really care or are they just trying to be polite? That's why God created the "fine" emotion. When you say, "I'm fine," usually what it really means is, "My life sucks right now! But I know there are other people who have it worse than me so I don't want to complain or have you pity me. Things could always be worse."

Oh Brudder!

So this weekend I was going through some of my older posts and I realized that I have written about why I love each member of my family....except my brother. Since that didn't seem very fair or nice of me here are some reasons why I love my brother.

I appreciate that when I would have anxiety attacks and when I was being a hypochondriac he was always very nice and understanding and would check my heart rate and bp for me.
He is the epitome of hard work. Career and academics.
Yes, you were mean when you picked on me and ~~broke~~ my leg, but I still appreciate that you were meaner to Christina than you were to me. :)
Though I've never experienced this you always say you're willing to beat up bad boyfriends.
You picked me up from the train station and helped me unpack for May term.
Even though you had to work on my high school graduation you did try your hardest to be there by making your partner come to graduation with you.
You actually missed a lot of important moments in my life like my confirmation but you always showed your love in a card and gave me however much money you could afford to give me.
You help make beautiful children. :)
You let me be a part of your wedding (aka the most important moment of your life). :)
You are a wonderful provider and role model for your family.
You were willing to drive me to dance class and go with me to the Fox Theatre to see SYTYCD when no one else could and you didn't even live at Mom and Dad's anymore.
You take responsibility for your mistakes. Very admirable. :)
You always wanted a career that was exciting and helped people and you never gave up on that. You would take anything you could get.
You always tried to help me work things out for myself and not depending on you to do it.
Growing up and looking up to you I learned what I should do and what I should NOT do.
Besides the heart rate and bp you would try and fix other minor problems I had.
You're good to Mom and Dad. You'll take very good care of them when they're old. :)
When teachers knew that you were my older brother it could get me bonus point. :P
You work well with what you have.
Despite me being annoying to you, you love me anyway.

I don't have any pictures of Tim and I together so I'll use him and Grace because the picture's adorable anyway.

Addiction

Even after many seasons (are they on 12 now? I have no idea), this dance is still my favorite. Mia Michaels is an excellent choreographer! When she talks about the background of this dance and how she's portraying addiction, I think she's dead-on. We've all experienced wanting something that's not good for us...maybe not to this extent, but whether it be drinking or drugs or food (I'm not gonna tell ya mine :P ) we've all been there. That feeling where we want this thing SO bad because it makes us feel better but ultimately that thing starts to control us and it doesn't feel so good anymore and we want to let go of this addiction, but we can't because we're so drawn to it It's not that we don't want to stop, it's just that we can't. We don't know anything else but that addiction and we're afraid to not have that crutch to get us through life.....

Whelp, that's my schpeal for today.

Oh...And the song Gravity goes so well for this dance. :)

Oh the Joys of an Unemployed College Student

Whelp, it's been a while since I've posted anything. Sorry to all my loyal followers out there who really give a damn about what I have to say, but my life over the summer hasn't really been that interesting.
-As I predicted I've got no job this summer. My mom does pay me to clean the house once a week but that money goes by too fast.
-Finished a couple of books this summer, but I can't tell you what they were because I completely forgot. lol.
-At the end of June my mom and I went to go visit my grandma in MICH. That is never a pleasant trip. My grandma has cognitive problems so that's annoying enough, but when you add in her critical, no filture, pity me, complaining personality she becomes unbearable. So that wasn't any fun, besides spending a day up at school visiting Rachel for the day. :)
-Throughout the summer I've been addicted to the T.V. shows Drop Dead Diva, Law & Order S.V.U., and Veronica Mars. (That's what I spend the majority of my days doing, watching T.V.)
-And my family just got back from an Eastern Carribean cruise that our grandma paid for all of us to go to. It was a fun experience since I've never been on one again and it was nice to have something to do and to spend time with my family, but I hate traveling and I am definitely too claustrophobic for cruises. Hopefully the next vacation I go on I will have choosen and paid for.

There's been other things going on this summer but it's none of y'alls business. :P So as I said my summer's been pretty boring, but in just under a month I'll be going back to school and be one step closer towards graduating. Yay! It's gonna be so scary and stressful but I'm really looking forward to classes and seeing my friends again. :)

Some TidBits

So...while I was on facebook yesterday facebook stalking :) I noticed that a friend of mine was doing like this 30 day photo thing and I thought it was really cool. So I thought I'd blog about it, but since I don't feel like putting up a new picture every day for 30 days I thought I'd just do it now and give you guys a little LizBits...maha...totally just came up with that. :)

Photo 1: A picture of yourself with ten facts

1. I'm a pastor's kid which I don't really enjoy being.

2. I'm a very random and interesting person. My mind or mouth don't really have a filter

3. The fact that I'll be turning 20 soon kind of scares me. I don't want to be a grown up yet. :(

4. I'm a mommy's girl and not really ashamed of it either. More girls should have closer relationships to their mothers, but a lot of girls have close relationships with their fathers that I'm pretty jealous of.

5. Never been outside of the country. Well, I've been to Canada but I was an infant so that doesn't count.

6. Sometimes I am so lazy that I have to force myself to shower and brush my teeth before I go to bed.

7. If my work space is messy and can't work.

8. I LOVE reading. Most of my money I spend on books...or movies because the movie is better than the book. :)

9. The youngest of three.

10. I hate being alone but I hate being around people.

Photo 2: A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest

This is my besty Brittany. Known her since 4th grade. Love her so much!

Photo 3: A picture of the cast from your favorite show

Love this show. THE NANNY. So funny and good memories from my freshman year with my roommate. We would fall asleep watching The Nanny.

Photo 4: A picture of your favorite night

This is a tough one but I would love to see what life was really like for Miss Jane Austen.

Photo 7: A picture of your most treasured item

My family of course! But this was still a hard one. :)

Photo 8: A picture that makes you laugh

Haha...This was an easy pick. Fun times! And I am not ashamed to admit that when my sister and I are bored we dress like men. We like to freak our mother out. :)

Photo 9: A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most

Wouldn't be here without my mommy! :)

Photo 10: A picture of the person you do the most craziest things with

Again refer to photo #7. If I were to lose anybody close to me it would hurt. Thank God I haven't lost anybody yet.
