To the girl I told to run away
The ghost I saw a hundred times a day
You weren't like me no you weren't afraid
You are elements combined
Earth, air, fire, wine
Someday you'll be mine
Elements combined
You stuck around, but we didn't fly
Weighed down by all I hid behind my eyes
I only hope that you realize
You are elements combined
Earth, air, fire, wine
Someday you'll be mine
Someday you'll be mine
I'll bury all excuses
Burn all the reasons why
I cant be everything you want
And everything you need
You're elements combined
You're elements combined
You're elements combined
We talk a lot but it's always small
Tiny bricks that make a giant wall
I hope these words are a wrecking ball

2008 in retrospect
This seems to be a trend...
sorry for all the lists lately.
Here are the highlights from my last year (with help from my journals):
Spring
- I resolve to lose weight and not spend excessive amounts of money. (didn't lose weight til aug/sept, gained it back by december)
- I am confused by the fickleness of man.
- I realize that I either like guys for less than a week, or years at a time.
- 1 year anniversary.
- I struggle a lot with some theological issues.
- I realize that this semester is a good time to learn to work in groups of people that I find hard to deal with.
- I believe it cannot get worse (in nov, i am proven wrong)
- I deal with things in the wrong ways.
- I participated in a Dave Barnes music video.
- I realize even more that I am not a night owl.
- I fancy myself a runner.
- I learn that sometimes people's families are cooler than the people themselves.
- My cat died.
- I fear to fail some classes, only to find out that I have made all A's and B's and thus made it onto the dean's list.
- I am considered proficient at piano by belmont's standards.
Summer
- I attempt to recover from burning out.
- I am lonely. "This isn’t a summer of love or optimism. It’s a summer of fake optimism. It’s a summer of suck."
- My sister gets engaged.
- I wonder about sanity.
- I survive a tornado alone in the basement a chocolate store with no electricity.
- I finally read the last two harry potter books.
- I have a nervous breakdown, smoke a cig at church, and play for a perfect wedding all in the same day.
- I visit Nashville instead of living there and going to school. I decide it is a nice place. I also decide to truly appreciate the friends I (still) have.
- Goodbye's suck, even if its only for 2 months.
- I helped lead a high school girl's bible study with my sister. I try to make high school suck less for them.
- I spend most of my time trying to communicate across the pacific ocean and 13 hours time zone difference.
- I cut my hair short for the first time in like 9 years.
- I fancy myself a songwriter.
- I get my wisdom teeth out and eat steak the next day.
- I finally get used to living at home, only to have to go back to school.
- I wish Nashville was closer to a beach.
Fall
- I learn that it is rare to have too much time to prepare for something.
- I successfully perform in a solo classical recital.
- I suffer through two flat tires in two months.
- I realize that I struggle with depression.
- A "friend" kicked me while I was down, and I realized she was no friend.
- I decide that I do not believe in Carpe Diem.
- One of my closest friends got her heart broken, and it hurt me almost as much as it hurt her.
- I go to Alabama with two wonderful, beautiful, godly ladies, and get to know them better.
- Dressed as a witch on halloween, I fell on my face in front of President Fisher and his wife. They only gave me one pixie stick.
- I feel as if I have stuffed two semesters into one.
- I discover that I can graduate in 2 more semesters rather than 3!
- I realize that I don't truly know what I want to be when I grow up.
- My dog died.
- I fancy myself a rock star.
- I made a wonderful new friend.
- I voted for the candidate I disliked the least. I decided for myself, apart from anything anyone told me.
- Thanksgiving was wonderful. It is lovely to finally be considered an adult!
- I decide that I want to learn too many things in life. And that if I had the money, I would switch my major and study more things.
- I stalk a cute freshman all semester, and lose interest as soon as I find out his name.
- I highlight my hair for the first time.
- I wonder how much of my life is all in my head.
- I am .07 short of having a GPA high enough to be on the dean's list again. Alas.
- I fancy myself a writer.
Overall
- I learned a lot about myself.
- too many people got engaged.
- I have become a feminist.
- I started and did not finish writing at least 5 novels.
- I am in love and practical. I realize that the two can most certainly go together.
