best thing i've heard in a reeeeeally long time:
My away message: english. blah. then personal wellness. blah.
at least i have both of those classes with you...
David John Bobby Orr's response: DavidJ710 (8:21:30 AM): What! you do! Oh no! I've been cutting all semester!

david you crack me up. you need to hook me up with some directions so i can come visit. or get your butt over here. cuz its been waaaaaay too long since the last time i saw you. like 3 years or something like that??
kelli knows me almost better than i know myself. she knows things that i won't admit to myself. i was in a crummy mood earlier. then i went to bible study. good stuff. even better, i went to starbucks afterward w/kelli, ox, and rachel. OH WAIT-even BETTER!!!! i used kelli's phone to call lacey to tell her happy birthday, and then to get elizabeth's number. i called liz, and everything works!! I'M GOING TO WEST LIBERTY!! in 10 days!!! i CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! i'm gonna see my sis!!! for a whole weekend!! woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ox played his guitar for us in the parking lot before we left starbucks. happy guitar music. he's really good!! i definitely want one of his cds when he gets them done. and he's gonna burn both further seems forever cds for me!!! HAPPINESS!!! if he doesn't remember to do it before bible study next week, he'll bring them to celebration. i'm excited. :) so anyway, after we left there kelli and i had much discussion in her car. she's known me for so very long. i love her. i can tell her anything, and know that its ok to do so. she figured something out about me that i've never told anyone. she also had some interesting insight on it...
this whole guy thing? i'm liking it. definitely different than anything i've ever done. but he's great. i'm still scared outta my mind about the whole thing tho. letting him in is gonna be hard. i hate letting people in. only a few people really know me. heidi, kelli, ali, and travis. i think thats about it. i dunno.... i really like being with him tho. its just gonna take some time.

travis: you're not heartless!! i'm the jerk that twists it around in my screwed up head and then spouts off crap like i did last night. you're seriously an awesome friend to me. you know how i am about letting people close to me tho. i don't say this often, but i love you. you're a good friend. just ignore me when i'm a jerk. or tell me that i'm being a jerk. :)
i like movies. i'm bored. this is a list of movies that i think you should watch.

the saint (val kilmer... mmmm. :-D)
robin hood: prince of thieves (i LOVE this movie. i should buy it. the soundtrack is AWESOME.)
a beautiful mind (my little brain has trouble comprehending it. but i love it)
10th kingdom (tv miniseries. the best one ever.)
fotr (yeah... i'm one of those geeks... haha)
two towers
extreme days (i laugh my butt off every time i watch it.)
what dreams may come (i need to see that again. once wasn't enough.)
alaska (kid's movie.. hehe)
warriors of virtue (another kids movie)
fight club (i only saw it once, but it was really good)
minority report (again, i only saw it once, but wow....)
family man (kinda cheesy, but the idea behind it is cool)
what a girl wants (hehe i LOVE that movie!!!)
gladiator (i'm not much for violence, but this is an awesome movie)
braveheart (if you haven't seen this you should shoot yourself. or go watch it. either one works... lol)
the patriot (i've only seen it once, but i remember that i really liked it)
the last of the mohicans (my mom hates it, but i love this movie. its really good.)
ghost (chick flick i guess, but still great)
princess mononoke (i borrowed that from lynne, and it was the best anime i've ever seen)
x-men and x2 (i have 2 brothers so i grew up watching stuff like this.... its great!!!)
the ring (i'm not much for scary movies, but that one was really good.)
titan a.e. (its a cartoon, but not necessarily a movie just for kids. its great. i have the soundtrack too.)
almost famous (i can't believe it took me so long to think of that one!! great movie!!!!!!!)
the back to the future trilogy (go buy them on dvd. its great. trust me.)
hook (that one needs no explanation. just watch it. :-D)

ok i'm tired of doing this now. but leave me a comment. tell me what movies i should watch. :)
so i had a great weekend. hanging out with brit, lolly, and jess was great. i'm really gonna miss jess and lolly. they need to come back and visit soon. the 4 of us are DEFINITELY gonna hang out a lot during fall and winter breaks. its fun to know that i'm actually gonna have friends when i go home.... haha jk. i have friends. but yeah. here's some random stuff from the weekend....

Lolly: Do farts have lumps? Ooops, then I have definitely crapped my pants!

Lolly: I'm a DAY tripper

Brit (As Lolly pulls on the towel rack): Don't pull my rack! [i wasn't there for this one, but it still cracks me up)

Lolly: I love cauliflower, even if it does look like genital warts

Jess: Lolly, did u really break his day??? I mean nose???

Tracey: I am NOT a girly girl!!!!

Reno: My phone number is Dog-8-kid!

Lolly is the turd (i can't remember what she is... ahhh!!!). Brit is the turd sucker. Jess is the turd eater. I'm the turd sniffer.

Dragging Greta by a string in the Marc's parking lot, then carrying her around in the store.

The claymation videos that we made on Friday night.

Watching Extreme Days-OH THATS RIGHT YOU PILES WATCHED IT WITHOUT ME!!!! *sniff*

My "i am not a girly girl" monologue (that is very unfortunately on video tape.... for NO ONE but the 4 of us to EVER see.... lol)

Anything involving Greta was good stuff.

Making fun of my cheesecake at lunch....

Lolly is in love.... awwww :)

and finally.... JIM TRAFICANT IS A HOTTIE AND A HALF!!!! and he's all mine... you can have your jafar.... haha

good stuff. good weekend. i love you girly girls!!! <3 <3

so my mom randomly came to visit me for a little bit today. her, vicki wining, and mildred grim were on their way home from the ladies retreat and they stopped to see me. it was nice. mom took my drip candle home (*sniff*) since i can't have it cuz its in a wine bottle. that makes me sad....

i need to start studying for my old testament test on thursday.... yuck...

I TALKED TO MY HEIDI TODAY!!!! she was online when i got back from marc's with brit, lolly, and jess. it was great!! i got to "fill her in" on everything thats been happening with me. i'd been wanting to talk to her about it for awhile, and i was so excited when i got to!! i bawled my eyes out when she got offline, but thats another story.... lol
i'm watching contact on tnt. i like this movie. i haven't seen it for awhile so i only sorta remember whats going on, but its good.
katie and alisa crack me up. i'm definitely requesting them to be my campers again next summer.
i have a headache. but thats ok. i usually have one. i'm gonna go now. i'm walking around with reno while he checks computer labs... woohoo... lol
go central!! :)
i'm talking to travis. cuz he emailed me. and we're having a really good conversation. that makes me happy. cuz i knew i wasn't gonna be able to follow thru with what i said the other day, (last sunday) i'm too much of a dork. me and reno are probly going to the soccer game tomorrow. and going to the dariette on the way. cuz thats good stuff. :)

i spent most of the day with brittany, lolly, and jess. those 3 crack me up. it was great. we made fun videos. that no one will ever see..... haha.

i went to church (undistracted). it was awesome. i'm glad that delight was with me tho, cuz the weather was HORRIBLE on the way back and she definitely helped me a lot, cuz i could barely see the road.

after i got back, i went back up to brit's room to hang out. that was when we made our videos. reno came up after he got back. i think that a good way for me to "test him" is to have him around when i'm with my friends, cuz i go nuts sometimes. like last night during/after celebration, i got reeeeally hyper. and tonight was pretty crazy too. i figure if he still likes me after seeing me like that, i'm good to go!! lol

i like him. (and now everyone who knows me is saying "tracey??? like a boy????? she hates boys!!!!" you shoulda heard lolly when we were talking about it earlier... lol) but yes my friends, its true. i like him. it scares the poop (i'm the turd sniffer!! haha girls) outta me tho. cuz i've never really done this before. i've never felt like this before...

ok so ali monnot is great. we just talked for awhile. these are the "highlights" of our conversation. haha good times with my girl in the hallway under the most hideous mural i've ever seen in my life... oh wait no!!! definitely not worse than the one in el campesino's. so anyway. fun stuff right here...

"communication...vidal in this whole relationship thing."
-ali

"ok so i'm just gonna talk and you tell me when to slow down or whatever."
-ali

"this is the God-to-honest truth."
-ali

"all cuddly-on-the-couch-whats-your-middle-name?"
-ali

"do you know my middle name? do you know my favorite cereal? you don't love me!!"
-ali

"first quote i get from the guy is the epitome of his personality."
-ali

"do you know his favorite cereal?"
"no."
"then you/i don't love him"
-ali, me, then both of us at the same time

"the last time we had this kind of conversation you told me i needed to be more Mennonite."
-ali

"do not fear."
"i don't fear. i have you on my side."
-ali, then me

"i'm so glad that we don't hate each other."
-ali

"i piss people off when i talk."
"and he doesn't know that yet cuz he doesn't know you."
-me, then ali

"keep these. live by them.
-ali

"lightbulbs don't ding."
-me

"dudette lets go get some hot dogs!"
-ali quoting ox

"if i was planning my funeral it would be kosher, but its yours so thats horrible!"
-ali

"alright, anything else you wanna ask the guru?"
-ali

"confession is to catholic church as ask the guru is to boyland."
-ali

"you just said boyland."
-me

"you can send me a copy [of the email] if you want."
-ali

ali-i just put them all in there. they amuse me greatly. :) thanks girl-you seriously keep my head on straight for me. it might fall off or something if you weren't around to kick me in the shins, call me a jerk, and get me back on track. i love you!!!

ok stuff to do... paper to write (i have to plan my funeral... haha), maybe write an email, and i need just a little bit of sleep.. :)

quote of the day:

carynpatriciaf (5:35:10 PM): good...im glad God put me here on this earth for some reason...to make Tracey laugh..i do in fact have a purpose! AMEN!
I'll wait a million years to feel
The way that I feel right now.
And I can't say now its figured out
But everything will work out somehow.

maybe its not directed at me, i dunno. but if it is, then it makes me wanna cry. he brings out the "girl" in me. the one that still holds on to romantic hopes and dreams, while the rest of me says "stupid tracey. such things don't exist."
ThisisLeahRo (10:20:50 AM): tracey, I'm with you... cerealology.... actually, maybe I'll do donutology just to be a little different!! Love you...
relientkbandgeek (10:21:12 AM): haha we can open up a shop--cereal and donuts. and we'll analyze them :-)
ThisisLeahRo (10:21:30 AM): yeah... while we read their butts to tell their fortune!!
ThisisLeahRo (10:21:30 AM): hehe

today's convo of the day... that girl cracks me up, leah i love you!! :)

Wednesday, September 24, 2003

so i want to get to know him better, but i'm scared. i don't open up easily. and i know that eventually i'll have to. that right there is enough to scare me away from all this. i don't really know him. what makes him different from the other people that i've known? i dunno... this whole thing scares me. i like him. and i'm scared of it...
i definitely think that boys are confusing too, by the way. guys always say that girls are confusing. well you know it goes both ways!!
I MISS MY HEIDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today was good. haha i just realized that theres sweet and sour sauce on my shirt from the late night meal... all well...

i miss heidi a lot. there's so much going on right now that i want to talk to her about!!! things are happening like crazy, and its so weird to not be able to just pick up the phone and call her. that girl is gonna get a bajillion page letter from me by the time i'm done.... lol.

its good stuff tho. i'm still scared of it. cuz its really different for me to like someone. especially since i've been so adamant about my anti-boys stance for the last few years. so i dunno... we'll just see where things go i guess.

now to bed with me, i wanna read for a bit before i fall asleep...

"The key to having a good relationship is our ability to allow another person to see us as we are. This usually means lowering the masks we sometimes hide behind and being open, honest, and perhaps even vulnerable about who we really are." -Twists of Faith

thats in esther's profile. she told me to read it after we talked yesterday. and lemme just say it kicked my butt when i read it. wow. thats exactly what travis has been saying to me. and exactly what i'm afraid of. i don't know what i'm getting myself into....

way down in the valley o rare bog rattlin bog... ;)

operation
Your operation! Your heartbeating, complicated, and
you need a good technqiue to win at this. But
at the same time you have heart thumping fun.
But you can soon easily get bored of and you
need to move on.


What board game are you?

ok so i've had time to think and can explain myself more now. its not that i don't have an awesome time when i'm in kidron, cuz i do. those guys crack me up. and there are definitely times that are just great. but in order to get to those times, i feel like i have to force them to do stuff. i dunno. maybe i'm not making any sense? i don't want anyone to think that i hate them or something, cuz i definitely DON'T! i just want to let them "initiate" things. cuz i'm tired of it. but i don't hate them!

so... other things are happening now, and i'm a little scared. scared might not be the right word. reserved? i dunno.... i've never really dated before. but i like him. and that scares me. it makes me feel vulnerable. (ooo good word usage tracey! woo hoo!!) ok i'm gonna post this, read for a bit, then i'm done working and off to lunch, then psych....

btw i got a 21/25 on my speech in communications, i was excited!! :)
oh yeah-last night was great. we spent about 8 or 9 dollars each, including a movie, popcorn, dinner, and dessert!! bruce almighty was hilarious. and God wore white chucks!! you can't beat that!!
HAPPY SING SILLY CAMP SONGS DAY!!!! sing a silly camp song to yourself today! here's a list of suggestions from ali's journal.
These songs may include but are not limited to ....
this little light of mine
no no never never uh uh uh
meet me in the river
little white box
stayed on
love the lord your God
riii--- rii-riiide on (boogey down and praise the Lord)
an austrian went yodelling
I am a C
the valley song
Jesus' brother Bob
FRUIT of the spirit (He's a peach of a savior...)
etc

ETC!!!!

and you know what? ali forgot one of my favorites. shame on her. THE MEDLEY!! no week at our little mennonite camp is the same w/out the medley!! (especially when you're a counselor and get to be one of the leaders!! woo hoo!!). so yeah. sing a song. a silly song. a silly CAMP song. make yourself happy. and have a good monday :)
