Typical writer, and all that romantic jazz (Original Written Feb. 16, edited the 21st)

So I just got back from hanging out with one of the coolest cats, and he suggested I write a blog. I informed him I had one. True I haven't posted since November. Eek! Well not on this one. So, sitting at my desk, writing a blog, and drinking tea, like one of the true writers, I will muse on love.
Although technically they would be in a coffee shop, pen and paper. I'm still that old school.

But before I get into that, I usually do my theological or just random talk blogs on facebook. Here updates and poems. So I'm due to post one on here. And I'd rather type than be behind a pulpit.

Romantic love. It sucks. It's hard. Sometimes you wonder if it is worth it. I never really dated, there is no love life for me. And talking about sex makes me uncomfortable. I have had an unofficial relationship, but let's save that for another time. Haha, oh if you had seen me in high school. I was always obvious with who I liked, was an idiot about knowing love, and a bit of a stalker. Not full time, just part time. =p Yeah I pretty much did the creep. (If you haven't seen it, look at the tube).

But I have grown in that regard, although yes my obvious side is dimming, but traces still rear their heads. Love. Such a big word. I'm sorry, but I have a hard time fully believing you can fall out of love. Divorce means to me, you had puppy love, or a small or no trace, and then boom! There goes your marriage. I will always love David. I will always love Forrest, my love interest last year. But note the always. I just feel that if you really love someone, you can't fall out of Love. You just fall out of love. Capital letters always point to something big.

Love= Looking beyond faults, you will always feel it, worthwhile. love= We love each other. Oh, messy split, turns out I don't have feelings for you no more.

I have a cousin who is only a few years older, and getting married a second time. His first marriage, he did something, and the girl left. The worst part? She wasn't interested in saving it. And no, she was not abused, she I guess became someone else. I feel like that just showed love, but not Love. She didn't fight for it.

I love Love. It's wonderful. Not always easy. But wonderful regardless. It is painful. I Loved Forrest, but he didn't love me. But he treated me well, listened to me, he came and visited a lot. Has an amazing voice. I enjoyed every minute I was around him. At first, I was jealous he was dating someone, another friend. love. But then I realized I wanted nothing more than his happiness and strived for trust. Love.

Right now, I am going heads over heels for someone I'm getting to know. I'm giddy. Just ask my cool cattish friend, he saw that today. I care a lot about him. He's honest, he listens, and talks (which surprise surprise even a talker like me likes to listen) to me. He encourages me, and has a good heart. His eyes are amazing, he's handsome, and he has a warm, fun smile. We joke and laugh a lot. It feels natural. But it looks like once again it might lead to my fragile heart being broken. Sometimes I just want to give up on love.

But my friend Willy said something I'll never forget. He told me that I shouldn't give up, because then whomever I'm meant to be with will be lonely. He'll get into bad relationships, or worse. I don't want that. I don't know who he is yet, but whomever he is, I Love him, already because I have (with the exception of a few friends, parents and hospital people) had to take care of myself mostly throughout my life, more so recently. I just want someone to take care of me, and to have someone else to care for. To love. Everyone tells me, stop looking, cause once you do, you'll find them. Sorry, but that's probably not gonna happen. So if that's true, I might just want to live alone.

Someday my prince will come,...

Updates for October

*Disney carnival! You could win prizes by tickets or for an awesome costume. I was a Newsie! The only one. Quite a few people didn't know the movie!

* Salsa dance. I didn't dance much cause I didn't have a date. I did look fly though!

*I was in another photoshoot, done by my buddy Tyler. Luckily I was already dressed up! They turned out wonderful.

* Saw Avatar for the first time! Sooooooooo good!

(I don't remember the rest)

Update for September

*Another awesome 80's dance!

*I turned 22

* We had our annual movie on the lawn, this year, emperor's new groove!

*I shot my first film for Intro into Video class, it's on my facebook or youtube!!!

*Went with my "brother" Alex to ice cream for a late birthday thang!

*Serve day we worked for .... some organization doing yard work, etc. I worked at the office because I am not good with yardwork, and I got done super early. The serve fair was fun as always. There was this oddly dressed band playing and they had me and some others do background vocals! Tehehe.

*Slip n' slide on the Quad!

* I was upset for a few days, so one night me and my buddy Sarah Cadd went to Blockbusters, I got two movies, and we ate at Red Robin!

* Main Event again! Our shirts were awesome! The front had the word Apartments in the shape of a cow, the back said, "Udder Destruction"! We got third again. I had to eat a napkin for a event, ewwww!

That's all I can remember!

Update for August

* My oldest sister Kristin got married! She is now Kristin Marie Edwards! The wedding was gorgeous, and my sister and her bridesmaids (both me and my other sister Katie were bridesmaids) looked beautiful, especially the bride. I am happy to have Jake as a brother.

Low points: Beer getting spilled on me while people danced with beer on the dance floor, taking pictures with the sun in our eyes, heat and standing on sore feet in heels, starting late, people super stressed

High points: The dresses, the ceremony, THE FOOD YUM, dancing, the special dance for Kristin we learned (When Kristin was in high school, she and her fellow lifeguards made a dance up so we learned it and surprised her after the toasts), the toasts, my awesome French date, seeing people I hadn't seen in a while, the smile on both my sister and brother-in-law's faces, watching them dance, my mom and dad dancing a dance because it was on their anniversary, the pinata (Thierry has been staying in Mexico so he brought an authentic one).

We also got Team Kristin or Team Jake shirts!

*Went to crater lake with dad, Katie, and Thierry our French exchange student (he came down for the wedding, and was my date)

* Moved into Woolman apartments and starting my senior year at Fox.

*Hoedown y'all! It was good to see everyone!

I'm sure there's more, but I cannot remember.
