It’s so weird. If i ever moved away from my family i’d be so heart broken.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;Not to say that I won’t. Cause eventually i will... I am 23 so i’m sure moving away at one point in time in my life will be a healthy grown up decision. Honestly, when i was 16 i couldn't wait for day i was able to move out on my house. But i was definitely in a different place then as far as my heart and mindset towards family. Just this past year has my family been able to truly get past all of our differences and love each other. It’s a great feeling especially being that my mom was sick for so long I had forgotten what it was like to have a mom. That being said you may understand my “heart broken” dilemma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;Any who! I’ve yet to unpack. Maybe my room will stay cleaner if i just leave everything in boxes. Although i’m missing my favorite BDG skinny jeans... I should probably unpack. Currently only 5 items in my closet are hung up and i don’t even remember the last time i wore them. 4 out the 5 are long sleeved shirts i keep as under sleeves for when i’ll eventually go snowboarding again. Which reminds me did that obama law really pass? Cause if i can get insurance i definitely want to start skating/snowboarding again. I couldn’t even begin to describe how much i miss skateboarding. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;I used to wake up at 5:30am head to Ripon skatepark and wouldn't leave until it was too dark to see the park. That was like my saturday ritual back in the day. I had the sweetest board set up too. I’ve never been too picky with my decks but i really like size 8’s for when i’m carving and if you’ve ever been to ripon skatepark you’d know the transitions are some of the smoothest in cali. I rode pink krux that had been broken in so they were as smooth as the bowls i was carving. China bones bearings and 53mm spitfire wheels. I miss that board. It was stolen a while back at a church gathering in a park. Hopefully the person who took it got as much use out of it as i did. What the heck is up with me and stuff getting stolen?! I need to attach velcro strips to everything i take outside of my house. so that if anything is ever taken i’ll hear that annoying detaching sound and be able to apprehend the thief with my fine set of ninja skills. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;hmm... i should learn karate. Or what ever it is that white hair asian dude taught Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill. *adds to list of things to do before i die*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;There are somethings that give me the feeling of being absolutely free and detached from everything. I don’t do these things as often as i’d like. The 3 being Worship, Skateboarding, and hiking in yosemite. Sounds crazy but i feel at home when i’m doing any of those 3 things. not all at once. but if that were possible THATD BE AWESOME! I digress, I get a peace knowing everything is gonna be alright maybe more so the reassurance when i’m worshiping. Being able to talk with god at any given moment makes him feel less distant and when i worship him i feel closer to his heart. When i’m skating its the closest i feel to flying. Gravity always makes sure i don’t leave the ground for too long but when i’m able to be in the air, even if its only a split second, i’m flying. When i’m hiking in yosemite i’m inspired by every beautiful thing around me. Reassured that if i’m captivated by what God made so effortlessly how much more time he put into making me, his daughter, imperfections and insecurities are written off when i’m reminded of those things. Like i said. it just feels like home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;You would think film would be under that feeling of being home but its way different from that. When i think of an idea for a video there is something that takes me over. I seriously can’t think of anything else until i see that vision come to pass. It’s like my mind goes crazy until i’m able to see in front of me what i could only see when my were eyes closed. Its a passion of mine. Definitely an artistic outlet. I’ve also always enjoyed making others laugh. My minds all over the place right now. I just haven't written anything in a while and wanted to. I think i’ll try going back to bed now. I technically went to bed at 9 something but no matter what i do i always wake up at 2am. My body is weird. Possibly as weird as my inconsistent sleeping patterns.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;KIRK OUT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3711884806754514673-2597834709163150861?l=strawburry17.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/feeds/2597834709163150861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3711884806754514673&amp;postID=2597834709163150861' title='17 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/2597834709163150861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/2597834709163150861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/2010/11/moving.html' title='Moving'/><author><name>Strawburry17</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805956203444149727</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SmV0ojIy5fI/AAAAAAAAAIc/zK-2Ra8YEls/S220/sb17.jpg'/></author><thr:total>17</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711884806754514673.post-8951444916864839156</id><published>2010-06-12T17:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-12T20:49:15.002-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Be in MY NEW MUSIC VIDEO!</title><content type='html'>Hey Everyone!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I KNOW WHAT YOURE THINKING!

I usually just hang up a sheet or small blanket! When filming the camera should be 3 feet away from you [so youre awesome face will be up close and awesome looking for the video] and position yourself in the center of the frame like this:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;LOOK I'M IN THE MIDDLE!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://s963.photobucket.com/albums/ae115/meghancam/?action=view&amp;amp;current=IMG_0432.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae115/meghancam/IMG_0432.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;LIGHTING:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;my shot set up:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://s963.photobucket.com/albums/ae115/meghancam/?action=view&amp;amp;current=photo-5.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae115/meghancam/photo-5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;any type of lighting source you have would be good if youre filming indoors. A desk lamp, flood light, lamp, whatever you got. Try and make sure your face is evenly lit so theres no hard shadows. Like this:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;SHADOWY LIGHTING&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://s963.photobucket.com/albums/ae115/meghancam/?action=view&amp;amp;current=IMG_0433.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae115/meghancam/IMG_0433.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://s963.photobucket.com/albums/ae115/meghancam/?action=view&amp;amp;current=IMG_0436.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae115/meghancam/IMG_0436.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;NOT SHADOWY.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;SCRIPT:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Heres the downloadable script for when youre filming!:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://www.box.net/shared/9shkv7arhq&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Theres 10 different scenes!

I don't know what changed. But i do know i feel better when i'm not the only one inside my head. If that makes sense.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To be honest, putting how i feel in words is sometimes a struggle because it can't always justify how i feel. I don't strive for eloquence (obvious) but just honesty.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My heart. Whether i'm talking about a book, my hair, a video, or my life. It's honest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think i'll start writing more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thank you for the encouraging comments, emails, and tweets in regards to my last post. There are some things i keep private. Not for always. But for now. Vague. i know.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I guess to say the least, things are better now. More so then i could have even imagined. My emotions really took me for a ride. I let them of course.

Not always but often times can be based off a stereo typed conclusion influenced by appearance, first impression, religion, sexuality, wealth, ect. A noun held in such high regard it has the ability to persuade the human mind into believing its factual even if it’s unsupported by actual fact and confronted by truth. It has the ability to destroy years of built up dreams, character, integrity, confidence and hope in only a matter of seconds of being uttered. Its presence can linger for many years without being noticed and is also capable of resurfacing without warning. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;But when surrendered to the right foundation it can be a wonderful building block in person’s life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Opinions are given with a choice.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;1.

Not to say I don’t get discouraged from time to time by my plentiful critics. Cause I do. I’m human and far from perfect. But I’m striving to be something more than average. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Which, isn’t the easiest thing to do in a world controlled by the media and over rated, highly valued opinions that are distorted by lust, greed, and the illusion of happiness.

I'm not nieve to think things like this don't happen. I'm fully aware. Just, never prepared for how it would feel when I heard it in regards to someone I &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;love&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt; could be &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;selfish&lt;/span&gt; and say, "I'm not ready for you to leave" "I'm terrible at goodbyes" "I want my kids to someday know you" "I don't know who I'm gonna go to when I need that special hug, only you can give" "What'll I do if youre gone?

This week alone i've went from 2300 subscribers to nearly 3000 and my VlogCandy video was featured in Peoples and Vlogs at #2. Not to mention, VlogCandy got asked to be partnered the same day i got rejected. A bitter sweet [pun heh heh] moment, but none the less i was still incredibly excited for VC.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hopefully in the next two months i'll be able to get partner. No more use of copyrighted material, thats for sure. i mean if i really feel an itch to do a sing-a-long video i'll post it to my response channel to be safe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And Holy Cow!!! Thank you so much to everyone who suggested a book(s)/author(s) you have no idea how incredibly excited i am to venture over to the local used book store and stock up on some good reading!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3711884806754514673-8756401614545721485?l=strawburry17.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/feeds/8756401614545721485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3711884806754514673&amp;postID=8756401614545721485' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/8756401614545721485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/8756401614545721485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/2008/12/wow.html' title='WOW!'/><author><name>Strawburry17</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805956203444149727</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SmV0ojIy5fI/AAAAAAAAAIc/zK-2Ra8YEls/S220/sb17.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/STeXIADCB-I/AAAAAAAAAEw/5w6s-6goHek/s72-c/Picture+593.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711884806754514673.post-1025055723507631244</id><published>2008-12-02T13:05:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-02T13:06:18.482-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Youtube Partnership</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;   font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Dear Strawburry17,&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your interest in the YouTube Partner Program.

It will be a sad day when i finish the last book. But hopefully i can stretch it out as long as possible! But yes, if you were wondering, that is why i'm juggling so many books at one time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hm, any suggestions on new books to add to my "must read" list?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3711884806754514673-8201544846562666006?l=strawburry17.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/feeds/8201544846562666006/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3711884806754514673&amp;postID=8201544846562666006' title='25 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/8201544846562666006'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/8201544846562666006'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/2008/11/november-has-not.html' title='November has not'/><author><name>Strawburry17</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805956203444149727</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SmV0ojIy5fI/AAAAAAAAAIc/zK-2Ra8YEls/S220/sb17.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/STMEhPdPhII/AAAAAAAAAEo/ydpXh-mr3vM/s72-c/Picture+590.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>25</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711884806754514673.post-5467288508636301977</id><published>2008-11-22T23:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-22T23:57:09.399-08:00</updated><title type='text'>youtube live</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SSkMr2KnZ9I/AAAAAAAAAEY/Z9zUfzw3kqY/s1600-h/Picture+562.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SSkMr2KnZ9I/AAAAAAAAAEY/Z9zUfzw3kqY/s320/Picture+562.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271758786227824594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;was so awesome.&lt;br /&gt;enough said.&lt;br /&gt;time to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3711884806754514673-5467288508636301977?l=strawburry17.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/feeds/5467288508636301977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3711884806754514673&amp;postID=5467288508636301977' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/5467288508636301977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/5467288508636301977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/2008/11/youtube-live.html' title='youtube live'/><author><name>Strawburry17</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805956203444149727</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SmV0ojIy5fI/AAAAAAAAAIc/zK-2Ra8YEls/S220/sb17.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SSkMr2KnZ9I/AAAAAAAAAEY/Z9zUfzw3kqY/s72-c/Picture+562.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711884806754514673.post-4848990505231024688</id><published>2008-11-21T23:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-21T23:31:27.514-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Slippers</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SSezM4f4U7I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/i_hMx-_KnnY/s1600-h/Picture+560.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SSezM4f4U7I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/i_hMx-_KnnY/s320/Picture+560.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271378922766357426" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;My dad bought me new slippers.&lt;br /&gt;[as shown in the picture above]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Random.

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't cry i promise.&lt;br /&gt;Oh, silly emotions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, one of the girls i used to mentor threw a bit of sass my way and of course i crumbled in to tears. It sucks seeing people take different paths in life, that used to be so close to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and slowly having to watch them turn into a different person, hurts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But tonight,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As i was crying, i asked God why he'd place people in my life that I'd learn to love so much, if they were only going to be taken away and turn  into someone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and he told me, because you're the only one who will cry over them. I gave you a burden so you'd never stop believing in who they can be.

My first initial reaction was that this person was a dirty liar just trying to get my number, so i ignored the message and made nothing of it. Turns out, it really was MTV. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong id="user-profile-username"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The707Juveniles &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;actually followed through with email and wound up on TV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong id="user-profile-username"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong id="user-profile-username"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Picture350.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/Picture350.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong id="user-profile-username"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;so i emailed this Lauren person and told her if anything new was going on to let me know and a couple weeks ago i recieved a message telling me about this webcam video show, similar to american idol, and tomorrow i'll be like a member of the audience or something. Honestly, i'm not certain. But i do know one thing i cannot sing! Now i'm terrified. Because, what if they chose me to sing? Imma crap my pants and die right there.

It was a nice feeling.&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;My trip was overall nothing short of amazing. i was awake +30 hours and experienced an amazing amount of inside jokes with two awesome friends and my lil brother.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Thank you Jesus for this trip!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;amp;current=IMG_7773-2.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/IMG_7773-2.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3711884806754514673-7861773954608964072?l=strawburry17.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/feeds/7861773954608964072/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3711884806754514673&amp;postID=7861773954608964072' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/7861773954608964072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/7861773954608964072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-trip.html' title='My trip'/><author><name>Strawburry17</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805956203444149727</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SmV0ojIy5fI/AAAAAAAAAIc/zK-2Ra8YEls/S220/sb17.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SP-R2z4lRXI/AAAAAAAAAC8/0CXtHYpMh60/s72-c/Gather%21+027.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711884806754514673.post-1228724588760057832</id><published>2008-10-16T22:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-16T23:47:29.393-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fin</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SPgtZCyvZhI/AAAAAAAAAC0/nxOh_vxVZ1c/s1600-h/Picture+294.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SPgtZCyvZhI/AAAAAAAAAC0/nxOh_vxVZ1c/s320/Picture+294.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258002473224726034" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Picture caption: [insert your thoughts here]   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So i finished reading&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt; Looking for Alaska&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; by John Green&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I must say he is a very talented writer. The story was well worth reading although i probably wouldn't suggest it to my mentoree's. Just based off of the vulgarity in the content at times. But, that is just my personal opinion/taste in reading material. I am going to pick up a copy of Paper Towns. I'm curious to see how his writing style varies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Picture333.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/Picture333.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I also finished reading &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Magicians Nephew&lt;/span&gt; by C.S. Lewis (i think i already mentioned this..) and it didn't take me long to finish. It was amazing!!! If you liked the movie The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe you will definitely love this book. It ties in all the missing pieces of how Narnia came about who the white witch is and so on, and so on. I enjoyed it very much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Picture336.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/Picture336.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I enjoyed it so much, i went out and bought the rest of the series in one huge-mungous book!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; Which i'm reading at the moment. I'm currently on the second book &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;and surprisingly it is still very interesting even though i've already seen the movie. Reading the book is totally different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Picture338.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/Picture338.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Picture345.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/Picture345.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Oh and i'm still reading &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mere Christianity&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Screwtape Letters&lt;/span&gt; by C.S. Lewis. Now, I've made improvement on &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mere Christianity&lt;/span&gt;. I'm in chapter 4 of book two and its getting easier to comprehend because it's less "cheesecakie" (ha) but still I'm taking my time with this bad boy. i want every chapter to soak in. I'm also learning sooo much, alot of the pages are highlighted and marked up with lil post it's of notes. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Screwtape letters&lt;/span&gt; is also very good, but i'll be honest, I've been neglecting it. I'm only on chapter 4. Not that the book isnt worth reading, i just havent gotten around to it as much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Picture348.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/Picture348.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;My last "Also"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I'M LEAVING FOR LAGUNA/LA TOMORROW!!!

I look away and close my eyes to see what type of picture might form if I close them tight enough. The outline of the bulbs resembles an animal, or a distorted smiley face, or even a butterfly. I'm not certain, the size keeps changing. I quickly open my eyes and the white shapes start to fade. I turn on my side restlessly, in hopes that I'll find more comfort in that position and might be able to fall asleep. Unfortunately, no matter which way I might lay, sleep is ultimately unattainable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div id=":wg" class="ArwC7c ckChnd"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;p  style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;You see, my body is utterly exhausted but my mind never rests. My thoughts keep me up at night, they strangle any possibility of assurance, equanimity, or peace. They walk me through the repetitive occurrences of my day, week, and hidden conflicts within myself. Every conversation, situation, and circumstance is replayed in my mind, only to make me question my own judgment and social abilities. Sometimes, I'm very constructive in my reasoning and encouraging depending on the situation but other times I'm my worst critic. In all honesty, I do very little to try and prevent these these thoughts from strangling my much desired dreams. I only encourage them by giving unnecessary attention to the seeds of doubt, worry, and insecurity that take deep root in my mind and are ultimately responsible for my lack of sleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Ah yes, it is not my thoughts that kill my peace, but it is my free will that destroys it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p face="trebuchet ms" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The battlefield of the Human Mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;"For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.

So, I went to the park and brought my soccer ball to kick around. I kind of just wanted to be alone.. Not that I always like to but this was a time where it called for it. Sounds depressing, but it was actually a lot of fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After ten minutes of a few soccer drills i threw in the towel for my "activeness" for the day and collapsed on the grass. I didn't really want to go home just yet so laid out on the grass and looked up at the clouds. I had some sweet worship music going on my Ipod so it made for a real serene moment. The crazy thing is, I totally lost track of time and stayed out on the field for 45 minutes. It was nice knowing that i didn't have to worry about the time i was losing because who i was spending it with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Note to self:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never get too busy&lt;br /&gt;where you no longer have the time to&lt;br /&gt;stop and smell the roses*&lt;br /&gt;get lost in the clouds in the sky&lt;br /&gt;fall asleep in a warm bed of grass&lt;br /&gt;or take in the true beauty that God has made as a gift for you&lt;br /&gt;His way of letting you know He's all around.&lt;br /&gt;and never too far away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3711884806754514673-6245771090311925048?l=strawburry17.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/feeds/6245771090311925048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3711884806754514673&amp;postID=6245771090311925048' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/6245771090311925048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/6245771090311925048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/2008/10/mmbeats.html' title='Captivated'/><author><name>Strawburry17</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805956203444149727</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SmV0ojIy5fI/AAAAAAAAAIc/zK-2Ra8YEls/S220/sb17.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SOVlW7BWLEI/AAAAAAAAABs/W1u8QJP6oXE/s72-c/Picture+245.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711884806754514673.post-5917801923941155520</id><published>2008-10-01T13:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-01T14:13:10.163-07:00</updated><title type='text'>If I could</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SOPnEgGzkeI/AAAAAAAAABk/W900sdh05YM/s1600-h/Picture+241.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I feel renewed and like I've taken in a new wind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last entry i was so broken. Thank you for those who prayed for me. It helped so much. God's word is so true when says he will never give you more then you could handle. So i feel encouraged and really wanna seek a deeper relationship with God and truly go after his heart like David did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;observation:&lt;/span&gt; Back in the day the prophets didn't have a bible to go by like we have now. They went purely off of their relationship with God. (There's Power in Prayer)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another Observation:&lt;/span&gt; We not only have the Word, but we also have the Holy Spirit. How much more are we capable of doing then the prophets who called down fire from heaven who had less then us now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has to be more to believing in God then where Christianity is topped off at right now. We're the generation that is supposed to be doing signs in wonders in his name. Healing people who are sick and raising the dead.. I'm sick of stories. &lt;br /&gt;I wanna see reality and Be apart of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Side Note: &lt;/span&gt;I finished the 1st book of Narnia. Rocked my world. Unfortunately I'm still on the 3rd chapter of Mere Christianity... That book is so amazing. I don't wanna read through it.. i really want to understand it. even if it hurts my brain!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3711884806754514673-6224369688855457774?l=strawburry17.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/feeds/6224369688855457774/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3711884806754514673&amp;postID=6224369688855457774' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/6224369688855457774'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/6224369688855457774'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/2008/09/encouraged.html' title='Encouraged'/><author><name>Strawburry17</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805956203444149727</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SmV0ojIy5fI/AAAAAAAAAIc/zK-2Ra8YEls/S220/sb17.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SOH31tut_PI/AAAAAAAAABc/50UyH4AdAio/s72-c/Picture+227.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711884806754514673.post-4478482271507387305</id><published>2008-09-27T01:29:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-27T01:46:22.984-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Burdened</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SN3yxuSTLWI/AAAAAAAAABM/EPSBS9knrMg/s1600-h/Picture+219.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SN3yxuSTLWI/AAAAAAAAABM/EPSBS9knrMg/s320/Picture+219.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250619676636163426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked God to make my prayers like his..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to have a bigger burden for the lost, unloved, suicidal, confused, forgotten, and abused..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've noticed that sometimes, the very thing i'm praying for is similar to what I'm going through.

My first thought, are these huge white walls, very similar to drywall, with no ending point. They are roughly 8 feet wide and are connected at each corner to take on the shape of a pentagon. The look of it is sturdy, but with the right amount of applied force, the thin plaster layering, can be penetrated. These walls are flawed, and will not do. If I were to settle with this type of protection, it would only be a matter of time before a boy with eloquent words and charm might discover the obvious weakness and have found his way closest to my heart. Only to mistreat it of course, on account of how easy it was to obtain. My weaknesses will be apparent to him, due to how close he was able to come in such a short amount of time. In moments of vulnerability he'll point them out to maintain control and take up ownership of my heart in the process. When he is done and has had his fill, he'll leave. Only to puncture another whole in my false sense of security I once called a wall. Leaving the treasure that was at one time inside, shattered, beyond repair of human hands, bleeding from wounds of rejection, insecurity, self hatred, depression, and inadequacy. Oh, this wall will not do. It may have sustained my heart for a short time in my younger years, but the durability needs to be solid and fortified, in order to contain this restored heart of mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me close my eyes, once again, and rethink this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time, there is not one wall, but multiple walls built of dense metals, welded together with only the finest craftsmanship. I take a closer look and notice the shape of the walls have changed. They no longer are in the form of a pentagon, but have now taken up the appearance of a sphere. With each layered wall there is an actual place of entry, unlike the previous one, allowing access closer to the heart but at a cost. The cost for entry is labeled above each door with the titles of friendship, trust, loyalty, commitment, covenant, Christ, love, and other key terms the foundation for a relationship is built upon. With each door that is passed through, entry for the next becomes harder. Unlike before, it's something to be work towards and not taken for granted. Access is not allowed by force but by patience and understanding. Mind you, character and integrity will be checked at every door, just to test the intentions of the seeker. Only one truly after my heart, not selfish emotions or desires, will get close enough to hear it beat.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I'm very fond of these walls. They're much better then the one built before it.&lt;br /&gt;I would hope &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;the one&lt;/span&gt; seeking after mine would have similar standards for his heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considering only a Prince marries a Princess&lt;br /&gt;And a King marries a Queen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Proverbs 4:23&lt;br /&gt;Guard your heart above all else,&lt;br /&gt;for it determines the course of your life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3711884806754514673-2972633248012500713?l=strawburry17.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/feeds/2972633248012500713/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3711884806754514673&amp;postID=2972633248012500713' title='83 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/2972633248012500713'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/2972633248012500713'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-guarded-heart.html' title='My Guarded Heart'/><author><name>Strawburry17</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805956203444149727</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SmV0ojIy5fI/AAAAAAAAAIc/zK-2Ra8YEls/S220/sb17.jpg'/></author><thr:total>83</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711884806754514673.post-798287158744242013</id><published>2008-09-23T01:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-23T08:16:14.254-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Honors?</title><content type='html'>This sounds so lame but nothing gets me more pumped then seeing that cute lil baby ribbon at the bottom of my page... even if it is only for a day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;current=honors9-23-1.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/honors9-23-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ahh, youtube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other breaking news.&lt;br /&gt;I started in on my second book &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magicians Nephew&lt;/span&gt;.

type='text'>Photo Shoot?</title><content type='html'>Today (technically yesterday) i went to the park and got my picture(s) taken. It was quite a lovely spot with a wonderful scenery and great lighting. The only thing is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a bit of weirdo when it comes to getting my picture taken.&lt;br /&gt;I kid you not. Every single one of my school photos I look like a doofus.&lt;br /&gt;The only picture that turned out decent was probably my kindergarten picture, only because I was adorable, and my senior picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I swear! It's like I can't relax and just get my picture taken. My whole body has to spaz out including my face. I remember thinking to myself "Meghan, keep a serious face! Quick! Think of something sad!" Then i'd think of something semi funny that was sad and i'd have a retarded half smile half sad face on. Bosh, pure madness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out of 700 pictures taken, I kept 17.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Possibly this will just be something I need to practice at.&lt;br /&gt;You know, like normal body posture and regular smiling.&lt;br /&gt;Opposed to awkward arm positions and over excited smiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a few sweet ones from the collection. Unedited of course:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;amp;current=photobucket1.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/photobucket1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;amp;current=photobucket2.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/photobucket2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/?action=view&amp;amp;current=photobucket3.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b103/Strawburry17/photobucket3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I know what you're thinking already. "A Youtube shirt? Seriously Meghan?" I have an explanation. I had way stressed my self out about this photo shoot and when I got home I only had enough time to grab one outfit, which was the obvious, then had to leave. Also, I couldn't think of another one to wear...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still pumped about the awesome blessing.&lt;br /&gt;The whole photo shoot was free.&lt;br /&gt;I'm excited to see the edited pics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a lighter note. I had a really good day at work. I was entertained, for a good portion of it, by a friends crazy story of an orphaned mini mouse.&lt;br /&gt;Baha, Good Times.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3711884806754514673-4103843774486039252?l=strawburry17.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/feeds/4103843774486039252/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3711884806754514673&amp;postID=4103843774486039252' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/4103843774486039252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3711884806754514673/posts/default/4103843774486039252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://strawburry17.blogspot.com/2008/09/photo-shoot.html' title='Photo Shoot?'/><author><name>Strawburry17</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805956203444149727</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f49GLs5w64c/SmV0ojIy5fI/AAAAAAAAAIc/zK-2Ra8YEls/S220/sb17.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711884806754514673.post-1309003240874710385</id><published>2008-09-10T13:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-10T14:14:26.240-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dream</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Had a dream i went to the store and purchased, C.S.
