Hey Everyone,
I was on Allen's blog, http://www.shishkabloggin.blogspot.com , and it really got me thinking about abortion. I've always wanted to do something more than just going to the life chain and the walk for life . I know they are really good programs but it just doesn't seem like enough to me. I mean after seeing that picture of the babies all piled up in a bag like animals, it's disgusting. It makes me so mad when I talk to people about abortion and they try to defend it as "just a choice". I don't see how anyone in their right mind can call mudering their child a choice. It really is disturbing. I agree with Allen that we should do something, we can't just stand by while a whole generation is murdered. Abigail succeeded at 4:26 PM.

Vote. And encourage people to vote. Protests are relatively powerless, though there is some good in them. But campaign and vote for representatives who will pass a pro-life amendment. Campaign and vote for senators who will pass a pro-life amendment and confirm pro-life judges. And campaign and vote for a president who will support a pro-life amendment, nominate pro-life judges, and promote a pro-life foreign and domestic policy.

Well today has been an all around miserable day. Today I woke up and started getting ready for school but I decided I really didn't feel like going today, so I took a "mental health day", unknown to me, it would turn into so much more(ominious music playing). So yeah I ended up puking my guts out the whole entire day. I guess that's what I ger for making myself believe I was sick. I did find it irionic because when I had first woken up I was like "I wish I could just throw up and stay home" Silly me, I had forgotten how awful it is, future bulimic (sp) I am not. I guess I got what I deserved. Heh, so yeah now everyone in my family is sick except Eleni. She's cowering in a corner of the room, afraid to breathe, hehe.
But I'm happy to say I feel a lot better now, and have pigged out on Gatorade, Chicken Soup, and Saletine crackers, so I really hope I don't throw up again, that would be a big bummer. Acutually the day didn't turn out to be a total flop, cos my family got some really really exciting news. Yipeee. To bad I can't tell anyone yet, but I'll post it the minute I'm aloud. So that about summed up my day, I guess all I can say is thank goodness for crackers:O) Laters! Notes of interest: The Dave Matthews Band: "Oh" Abigail succeeded at 8:17 PM.

Hope all of you get/stay well.
Did you hear that the Dave Matthews Band got in big trouble in Chicago recently?
ugh. that sounds like me. I got up, looked at my breakfast and was just like, I don't feel like going to school today. Then I started throwing up.

Today I had to work from 9-3, woopee. Heh, that's a funny looking word. It was a very busy,rainy, smelly day at Goodwill. Funny how people treat Goodwill like the neighborhood dump, grrrr. Here's a little advice if any of you should ever feel the need to donate to Goodwill do not donate: big rusted pieces of steel, old potty chairs, bags of clothes filled with cockroaches, just to name a few. Urg. Whoops, gotta go.

Hey hey hey, and all that junk. How is everyone? I am happy to say I'm good! It's strange how easily you can fall into a routine. And that's what I've done with the new school year, and I can actually say I'm starting to enjoy it a tiny teeny little bit. I'm actually understanding what's going on in my math classes, for the first time ever.
So on a different note, how about those Olympics? I swear they are ruining my life. Everytime I sit down to do my homework I hear something going on and I run out to the living room. I'm paranoid to miss anything, cos you never know when you're going to witness an olympic gold moment! Hehe. I sound like a cornball reporter. Oh well. Okay and does anybody else fall into hysterics when that Paul Hamm guy starts to talk?! I seriously can't keep a straight face...he's like mickey mouse on steriods, heehee. That would be funny....okey doke, talk to you later... Death Cab for Cutie:Lightness Abigail succeeded at 10:00 PM.

Well, the first week of school is officially over! My anlysis (don't make fun of the spelling!) of the whole thing is that at first it really sucked. But now I am starting to get into the "groove" hehe, of everything so it isn't that bad. Plus, I dropped 2-d art cos I've already taken it twice, and now I'm taking Music Appreciation. I love that class! A whole period devoted to listening,discussing,h and learning about music, what could be better? It doesn't really seem like it should be aloud in school, something that fun. So now everyday I'm excited to go to school . I just needed to find that one thing to put a little sparkle in my day:O)
So having music appretation has really made me stop and listen closely to the music I listen to it. It's cool. All week I've been analyzing (there's that pesky word again!) all of my cd's and I think, maybe just maybe I've come up with a top 5 or 10 not sure yet favorite list. It is sooo hard for me to pick my favorite cd's but I'm giving it a try. So now, for one night only, I present to you Abby's fantastic five (or ten depending on my decisivness tonight) with commentary by Abby Elder,hehe. Oh yea, not in any specific order, btw. 1) Postal Service, Give Up, this cd is so great. I don't know, the lyrics are so awesome and the vocals and everything. This could very well be one of the most perfect cd's I own. It's so upbeat, yet at the same time emo. I don't know really how to describe it. Just go out and buy it, then you'll understand. 2) No Doubt: The Singles, okay, I don't exactly own this put I've listened to it enough I feel like I do. Gwen Stefani is one of the best female songwriters I believe of our day. Especially "Just a Girl", "Ex-Girlfriend", and "Sunday Morning", such great "girl power" songs! 3)uh trying to think oh duh, Damien Rice "O", This cd literally rescued me. Okay that sounds weird but last year when I was going through some hard "emotional" problems, every night I used to put this cd on and just cry. It's so great cos now everytime I hear this cd it reminds me of that time. That may sound weird but it's so great to have something that close to remind you of something so raw. I don't know why, but I like to listen to it and remember that time and makes me feel fulfilled. Hehe, this sounds so weird. It's just a really great cd...there. 4) ok I can definatley not do ten, oh yeah...The Smashing Pumpkins Meloncholie and Infinite Sadness, what else can I say beside it's the pumkins, I bow to their abilities. Okay I thought I could do 5 but I could only do 4. It is so hard to pick out favorite cds. At least for me it is. So often my favorite cds change with my mood, which changes all the time. So maybe I will have more later. Okay sorry this so long-winded and dorky. Maybe someday I'll be cool...he..he..he, haha okay byeee-Abbs Abigail succeeded at 10:09 PM.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson Heh, does anyone know what that means, cos if they do, well I need to know. Yeah, well today was the first day of school. It went um okay. Okay so it didn't go that bad, but if I didn't have anything to complain about what could I write, heeeheee. It is kind of pathetic how it's only the first day and I had THREE homework assignments. And they weren't even those fruity getting to know you essays, they were the real deal. Oh well, I suppose I better get used to not having I life right now. Siiigh. GOOOD BYE SUMMER!!! Ok, I'm better. But I do have to admit, it's nice being an upperclassman. I don't feel like an upperclassman, but I know I am, so it's kinda cool. Heh, tonight when I was washing my face, I was trying to hurry so I got soap in my eyes and under my contacts, so I was freaking out and try to get it out of my eyes. Then I felt my nose starting to run, and I cracked my eyes open and started to freak out cos it was blood. So I was stumbling around my bathroom trying to get some toilet paper to wipe my nose, but I couldn't see anything cos I had soap in my eyes. My little sister finally came to my rescue. But not after calling me a "very weird person." Pssh, she doesn't know the first thing when it comes to weirdness. Hmm well that about sums it up, have a good night.... Abigail succeeded at 10:13 PM.

You know Emerson and his transcendentalist beliefs. He's bewailing the prevalency of people giving purchased gifts to one another. He says that such a gift is not a real gift, just an expression of you giving your "compliment and love", as he says. On the other hand, Emerson thinks that gifts such as gems from a miner and shells from a sailor are okay, because these gifts are evidence of the giver's effort. Thursday, August 12, 2004
Ah what a glorious fall-like day. Even the weather is ready to go back to school...how charming. Seriously though, it's just about 68 degrees outside, and the clouds look like those great dreary winter january clouds. It's kind of weird but I almost enjoy gloomy days more the sunny days. There's something about a nice rainy day, especially when all you want to do is curl up and stay indoors. Gloomy days give you license to do that, whereas on sunny days everyone is like " Go outside and breathe in the semi-fresh air, it's sunny, we're all going to die from skin cancer, but who cares at least we're making the best of it!!!" Heh, I think my mom poisened me against nice weather, anytime there was a glimmer of sunlight she would push us outside. Oh well...Well that's about all kids...laters...

Today I:
-Got up - Decided to go back to bed -Couldn't cos Charlotte reminded me we had to register for the s word at 11 -Had 15 min. to make myself presentable -Went to school and registered -Got depressesd -Came home and tried to overdose on Oreos to cure depression -Came to conclusion it doesn't work hmmmm. So I've basically decided that school is so miserable because of all the drama. Right now there is a lot of drama going on in my circle of friends at school so it's going to be peachy!! Seriously every time I think about school starting I get this sick feeling in my stomache and I get all panicky. Is that normal? It's not that I mind school all that much it's just that the first couple weeks are always weird. Maybe if we could just start like we never stopped. I dunno. Okay well I have to go to work pretty soon. Laters. Abigail succeeded at 1:20 PM.

Heh, okay well I'm bored again. Oh I found my school schedule, I think I shall post it, not that anyone should care, no one cares....
1. Algebra 2 2. U.S. History AP 3. Adv. 2d Art 4. CB English 5. French 1 6.Geometry 7. Anatatomy and Phy (what that stands for I couldn't tell you...) so there you have it. Pretty darn exciting right? This year is going to be really hard. I have to double up in math because I'm really bad at it so to make it to Pre-Cal I had to take both Geo and Al.2. I know I'm going to die. Then I have AP history which you get gobs of homework for and it's a college course so it has to be relativley hard. Then there's college bound english which has never been to difficult, it's just about the only area I was blessed with knowledge in. But still it's college bound so you're usually expected to "work to your potential", something I'm told I rarely do. Blah to potential..Just how do people exactly know what my potential is anyway, for all they know I'm working triple time over my potential. I don't know where people get the idea that I'm some closet genuis just waiting to emerge when I get the courage. Besides I have a grossly disproportioned brain. On the Psat's I scored in the top 2 percentile in the country for English and the bottom 40 percentile with math. What is up with that?! I mean dont' you think it just could have all kind of scrambled around and evened out up there. Just enough so I could actually understand intergers and how to subtract them. Blah, okay anyway I don't know how this ended up being a tirade against my brain. Or such a long post. Geeeez , but to sum it all up I just wish I had a study hall, and 10 extra hours in the day...poo. Abigail succeeded at 11:22 PM. Tonight the stars look really pretty, you should go look at them. So school starts in a week. Blah. It totally seems like yesterday I was celebrating the end of Mr. Young and sophomore year, I'm not ready to go back! I still have stuff to do. I'm not ready to see certain people and I just don't want to go. I'm in a deflated mood. And I am very very tiiiiired. I keep pressing all the wrong keys and spelling words totally wacked, it's kinda funny. I just got the sudden urge to watch Gone With the Wind, such a great great movie. Anyone who doesn't like that movie is just silly. Did I mention school starts in a week...? I feel bad, I'm in a poopy mood and my family just got back from vacation and I'm already being mean. Why do I do that...I don't know. Okay I feel like I have a lot to say but I can't say it..sorry
Scarlett:" But Rhett where will I go, what will I do??" Rhett: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn..." ahem, sorry but I just couldn't bring myself to edit out "damn" it's too great a line. So to all you kids out there, don't say what Rhett says!! I think I've officially seen Gone With the Wind 10 times. But I never get tired of it. It's so comforting, maybe I'll go watch it now....

Okay I'm back. I have to admit something. When I got on here to blog I intended on talking about something that happened to me last night, but I chickened out. But now I'm back cos I really feel stupid about the whole thing. So yeah last night I was at this family's house from church for this group thingy called "truth group". And during the course of the evening a gross misunderstanding occured which caused me to totally loose it and get mad at my older sister and just about all of my friends. It was so pathetic, I was totally bawling in the back of my sister's car and everyone was gathered around it trying to talk to me, but me being the dork I am could only cry. It was so awful I had all of this snot and stuff dripping down my nose, with no kleenex in sight. I am so pathetic when I cry, it's really loud and I start to get the hiccups and start breathing really fast, I don't know why I'm saying all of this, but yeah I had to get it out. And I just wanted to say to any of my friends who may read this, I am not mad! I understand that you guys weren't trying to hurt my feelings I"m just still kinda messed up from that whole situation, I guess still pretty raw about it. Sorry I'm being cryptic, but those who need to know will understand. So yeah, hopefully none of you have had to witness me crying and if you have I"m sorry. Heh, okay bye bye....

I understand what you mean. I've shed a lot of tears over silly things. And gotten upset for ridiculous reasons. You were probably tired from Calvin too. Ok, here's my story, it doesn't involve as many tears, that's two million other stories I don't need to mention. Well, anyway, it was at the camping trip. I was tired. I had left my backpack and some other stuff on a table and Rebekah had asked us to move. I wasn't paying attention until she called out she was going to auction it off. That made me mad. I threw my stuff on the ground and was like, THERE! HAPPY? I just about screamed in her face, I was so upset, but for some reason I didn't. I'm glad I didn't cuz then all of the sudden I realized I had hardly any logical reason to get angry at her, she was just trying to get people to move her stuff and wasn't intending to hurt people. And then I realized how terribly mean it would have been for me if I had yelled in her face and I started to cry a little. It was very upsetting.

My story's different, but I think its encouraging to know that we all have these terrible angry teary moments. We're there for you, God's there. You know, sometimes, it feels almost good to cry, like letting loose your emotions to the wind and ridding the frustrating feelings that you're holding inside. Don't worry about crying, sometimes it happens, and sometimes it helps! Hey everyone,
I'll skip the formalities and admit I'm lazy and haven't really had anything to talk about recently. But as usual I'm up to late, with no one to talk to, so yeah...Heh, I smell really bad. I had soccer practice today for 2 hours in the blistering heat and I haven't taken a shower yet,haha. I'll just take one tommorw. So yeah, that's about it for now, sorry for the boring post, but hey you gotta start somewhere... music: No Doubt: Sunday Morning Abigail succeeded at 2:10 AM.
