Allyson Nash and Apples to Apples

Today was a good day. :) I met Catie Alfaro for some good ol Golden Harvest and later I got to see my GIRLFRIENDS from high school. I miss you all.

I realized from my conversation with Cate how important friends and family are. We should all be grateful for the friends and family we have because I actually know people who don't have friends, and there are tons of people out there who don't have family.

"Who gets to determine when the old ends and the new begins? It’s not on the calendar, it’s not a birthday, it’s not a new year. It’s an event, big or small, something that changes us. Ideally that gives us hope, a new way of living and looking at the world, a way of letting go of old habits, old memories. What's important is that we never stop believing we can have a new beginning, but it's also important to remember that, amid all the crap, there are a few things worth holding on to."

on a sidenote, here is to you Melissa Rumrill. I miss you [soulmate]

First blog ever... eeeeeeekk!

Why look at what time it is ladies and gentlemen, good thing it is Christmas break so I don't have a bed time! (And for those of you who know me, this explains why it is pointless to contact me before noon on any given day.) Anywho, I've never ever ever..ever ever ever..gotten into writing. But I think that by writing my best friend on a nightly basis, along with the fact that I'm just changing in general, has inspired me in someway to start writing. I have poor grammar and sentence structure. I write how I speak. I don't care.

And this is it. I can write about whatever I want. Wow.. Who wants to hear me rant and rage about my beliefs? Orrr about drama? Or gossip? I don't really like the sound of any of those things, not tonight.

Let's talk about my day. I went to church, it was good. Then I headed off to work as I usually do on Sundays. Today I worked with Tad: red head. 23 years old. likes Coheed and Cambria. likes video games. likes tattoos of weird characters from various comics and games. We get along fine, so work wasn't as unbearable as usual. Here's my best story of the day: A table comes in with 5 people, they proceed to sit and eat for a couple hours, clearly racking up a bit of a bill. For those who are prejudice, this is for you. The table of 5 jokes to the table next to them (a table occupied by two young black females) that the girls should get their bill. ..And these two young women actually did. They kept it a secret and paid the tab of the 5 people next to them, which totalled over $100, and they paid for their own bill, and left a $17 tip. I was blown away hearing about how generous these young women were, because these girls were my age. How cool is that. I challenge whoever reads this, that today you do a random act of kindness for someone else. I'm not saying you have to go pay $100 for someone to pig out, but be conscious throughout your day of others, and do something nice for someone else.

I'll keep this short because it is my first post, and it's late, but here is a little scripture for you before I go.
But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and give his life as a ransom for many. - Matthew 20:26-28
