Know what the difference between 2009 and 2010 is?
Nothing. Every day is what you make it; you shouldn’t have to wait for a new year to try and change things. Quit complaining and do something.

“I believe in God.”
—
Okay, so at church this Sunday, I couldn’t help but think about what other people might think of me .. faith-wise. This is actually something that bugs me a lot because I get questioned about this time and time again. I know I don’t exactly exhibit the holiest nature, but I do have my beliefs and I think I have pretty good morals.
What really hurts is when I tell people I go to church they reply with a “really?”.
Um, yeah! I’m actually a very very active church-goer, and I sing for my church at least once a month. I’ve read the Bible front to back numerous times, and I’m pretty well-educated in that department. I know that being knowledgable in this aspect doesn’t exactly make me “religious”, but I pray every night, I find myself talking to the Lord almost all the time - outloud or in my head - and I keep everything I’ve learned from the Bible and from church in my mind and apply them to my everyday life. I might seem like a hard-ass who couldn’t care less about anything dealing with God, but that’s just not the case.
I’ve had a falling out with God, and I’ve questioned my own existence and at one point wished to end my relationship with Him, but after attending church and becoming more and more active, I’ve repented from my sins and have put all of my faith into Jesus. I’ve realized what a blessing it is to have what I have and that God is the one who has bestowed all that is good and bad on me. But He has a plan. I know this. Just because I don’t go around preaching the word, or wearing a cross, or doing other things that make one appear holy, doesn’t mean anything. I mean, you can have a strong faith in something without being so public about it. I am proud of my faith in God as a Christian, and I hope that all of you will respect that for what it is. Don’t question where I stand when it comes to my beliefs or my own practices as a Christian. I’m just a very to-myself person when it comes to that. Don’t judge me.
Anyway, I’ve begun reading the Bible again. In in the middle of Exodus.

I posted this as a note on FaceBook:
Earlier tonight, a girl from Kent, Washion on Tumblr (a sort of blog/social networking site I frequent) posted her suicide note on her blog. Within seconds, at least a hundred of tumblr users reblogged it to gain awareness. Using her IP address, they found out her name and where she lived. The Kent City Police Department got over fifty calls from all across the nation warning them about her plans. They got to her in time. A hundred of teenagers who had never met each other in real life, most didn’t follow this girl’s blog personally, saved a life. This is something that blows my mind, and I think that I’m a better person because of it. There is good in this world and on the internet, contrary to popular belief. <3 Thank you for reading this and please keep Haleigh Hess in your prayers.
I am not even sure why, I just want as many people as I possibly can to know about the pure love and awesomeness that happened tonight.
Good shit like this, GMH.
You’re such a baby. Grow up. I know I’m mean. But you don’t have to be immature. Slam your doors, drama queen. It’s like the sweet playing of the xylophone to my ears.
I became a fan of the "Smiling during serious moments (while your getting yelled etc.)" page!
I’m such a bad kid. I do this to my parents ALL the time. It’s just so that I don’t cry. And my parents keep yelling anyways, but with a confused kind of look in their eyes.

Haha. My math teacher, last year, says "thruff" instead of "through."
Because “through” ends in “rough.” So all you have to do is add a “th” to the beginning. I don’t know why I find this really amusing now.

Miss Zooey, Katy looks like you!
It’s not that you look like Katy. (:
Did you know when you dream about a person, that person went to sleep thinking of you? Did you know when the person you like looks at you & and then looks down, they're crazy about you? Did you know that when a person looks at you directly in the eyes they love you more than you think? Did you know when that person looks at you alot they can't live without you? Did you know when they leave, they say bye too much because they don't want to let you go?

Whoever made that spelled “a lot” wrong. :/
70% of everything I've eaten today, has been chocolate.
I'm doing really bad with my 101.
That needs to change really soon. I’m currently working on re-piercing my ears. That should happen in less than a month, hopefully.
I’ve developed a love for toasted pita bread. I can eat that shit plain. (:

I'm tired.
I’m glad my sleeping clock is normalizing. Or becoming more normal.

Who visited your not-practice for ROTC today? -_____-
OH GEEEZ ! COUSIN! OHH SHOOOOOT ! xDDDD im sooo sorrry ! Dx I HONESTLY THOUGHT THIS WAS SOME DUDE MESSING WITH ME. hehehe, i love you cousin <3 hahaha daaaang. i feel stupid… xD
Haha, it’s okie dokie! I was on MySpace and saw you had a Tumblr. I was like, whaaaaaa?! How could I not have known you had a Tumblr. :O I’ve had a Tumblr for like, over a year!
From a girl's perspective.
When you come to me, come correct. Not this high-school-I’m-gonna-text-my-feelings-to-you bullshit.
When you speak to me, speak like an intellectual. Don’t talk just to talk. Substance is essential. Otherwise you’re wasting your time and mine.
Don’t run around actin’ like you ain’t trippin’ over the loss of our friendship when I know DAMN well when it comes down to it, I’m gonna be the one you come to when you need someone to listen. Yeah, I know you guys can talk up a storm, too. Can’t NOBODY do it like me. Get that right.
Get your life together. School or job. One, the other, or both. SOMETHING that shows me you’ve got something going for you. Even if you don’t pursue anything like that, show me you have passion towards something. Some productive. You love music? Do something. You love cars? Do something. You love collecting stamps and coins and all that? DO SOMETHING. Show me your ambitions. Show me you care about your future if you’re trying to make yourself a part of mine. Yeah, I can dig the guys who live carefree but … honestly, it’s not always like that.
Don’t act like you’re high and mighty just because you got a dick and you can stick it in any girl you like. That may be dope to other guys, but it’s straiiiiighhtttttt jank to most self-respecting women I know.
Start kickin’ it with people who will respect me. They talk shit, you stand up and get ready to fight because that shows how much respect YOU have for me. Oh, you don’t care what they say? Then you don’t care about me.
I want to be a part of your life, not another part of your life. I wanna meet your friends and get to know them. Not so I can have your shit on lock, but so I can get to know and love them like you do. On this same point, I want you to be able to kick it with me and my friends. They’re good to me, they’ll be good to you. I pick a good group of people to kick it with and I can only hope you do the same.
Yup. This pretty much summarizes all I need to say. Thank you, and goooooooodnight.
Oh damn, inspiration right hurr.
I like that very much. I’d say the same thing in a different way.

I have a feeling that you’d like (500) Days of Summer.
Best of 2009: Movies
So, here begins my Best of ‘09-ing. I wrote my favorite movies of the year list as part of an article to turn into Artsweek, and the deadline for that was about a month ago. The early deadline means that I couldn’t include any of the movies that came out past mid-November, when a lot of the best ones of the year usually get released.
Top 10 Films of 2009
1. (500) Days of Summer
Love stories told out of order make for excellent movies, as we’ve learned from Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind and Slumdog Millionaire. (500) is no exception and gets my pick for the top spot. The anti-romantic comedy boasts some of the best dialogue the genre could bring, an endearing soundtrack, and appeal to both genders. The undeniable charm of Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt echo that claim.
2. Up
The film very early on hits us with a lengthly dialogue-free sequence showing basically an entire lifespan- and it’s one of the most beautiful montages to ever hit screens. The film doesn’t go down (get it) from there, feeding its audience with beauty, cuteness (Doug the Dog, anyone?), and humor everywhere. Up doesn’t make a children’s movie accessible to grown-ups, instead it makes the grown-ups more childlike to enjoy the movie.
5. Where The Wild Things Are
We’ve already heard the “This isn’t really for kids” claim, and that is true. But WTWTA remains ever so true to Maurice Sednak’s style which isn’t very much for kids to begin with. Add Spike Jonze’s flair for enigmatic meaning through minimalism, and you have a great movie with different levels of accessibility. If that’s not enough, the truly amazing visuals are worth some amazement. You’ll want to howl, and then go sleep in a pile.
Absolute favorites!
In the middle of the night, waking from this dream
I wanna feel you by my side, standing next to me
You gotta, come on, come on, say that we’ll be together
Come on, come on, Little taste of heaven…
