I'm about to start getting ready for Juliann's New Year's Eve party. I'm excited, for the party, and for 2009.
I think I'm going to wear this new plaid shirt I got in Evansville, and my favorite skinnies, and my new black boots. It's a lot cuter than it sounds, lemme' tell ya.
;D
I'm spending the night at her house after the party. So, the next time I write it will be 2009!
♥
You'll be in New York City, at Times Square, for New Year's Eve. I wish I could be there too. Happy New Year; hope it's even better than last year.

New Year's Resolutions
- Play guitar and piano more, and practice a ton. I want to be much, much better at both.
- Read more, especially the Bible.
- Help out more around the house.
- Stop ignoring people, even though they really annoy me by sending really weird MySpace messages, all the time. Even if it is only a "hey", I will respond.
- Stop holding onto people who are only hurting me.
- Pray more, and go to God with all my problems.
- Visit Alora in Georgia, or buy her way down here.
- Make a YouTube video of me playing an orginial or song, or even a cover.
- Make straight A's next semester.
- Drive more.
- Get a job, and manage my money and time better.
- Write in a journal.
- Write more often.
- Stop biting/picking nails.
- Where whatever I want to school. You know how there is things that are so stylish, but no one will take a risk and wear them to school? Well, I'm going to.
- Talk to Alinane more.
- Save up enough money for a MacBook.
- Chill with Morgan; take a road trip in her RV.
- Buy concert tickets and go with Amy Jo.
- Work out with Mom.
- Actually start going to bed.
More coming, if I think of any before the ball drops.

What do you say to taking chances?
Well, I say let's take 'em. I have to. I have to be strong now and move on, as bad as it hurts. I'm going to take a chance and let go of your hand. I was attached to your hip, and now I am a free person. I miss you, and I may always miss you, but I can't say I'll miss the person you are so rapidly becoming.
---
Today was an endless bore. I finally fell asleep at 3 o'clock in the morning, after watching Pearl Harbor and crying for a good bit. I must say, Josh Hartnett is quite the hunk. When his character dies in the movie, I cry for two reasons- 1) It's obviously sad, and 2) That beautiful face does not deserve to die or even pretend to die.
Anyways, I woke up and everyone was gone. I was home alone and I couldn't get my papa's humongous tv to work. It does all these cool, techno things like let you watch two things at once, but I couldn't find a way to simply get the remote to switch it from playing a DVD to watching cable. I was frustrated, to say the least.
But, I've missed reading lately, so I picked up 'Silent to the Bone' by E.L. Konigsburg and finally finished it, for the second time. It's a great book, I recommend it. Now I've started on the #1 New York Time's Bestseller 'The Shack' by WM. Paul Young. My dad finished it yesterday, and he never reads- he loved it. If he took the time to finish it and he loved it, I'd say I'm going to definitely enjoy the book, as well.
My phone's been dead all day, and I haven't wanted to use it enough to walk upstairs and put it on the charger. Honestly, my cellphone is not that important to me, like every other girl my age claims it is to them. I mean, don't get me wrong, I use it an awful lot, you could say 22/7, but when I forget it at home (which happens a lot) or it dies and I'm somewhere without my charger, I don't freak out and I'm not normally too disappointed. Unless, I was texting someone special.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and Juliann is planning on having a semi-big party. Well, for a town as small as Washington, it ought to be kind of big, I'd say. I'm excited about it and I'm excited about 2009. Whatever the future holds, I'm ready for it. I'm scared to let go of my past, and I miss my past, but I'm recognizing that I can do things on my own and make things happen for myself.
A new year, a new beginning.

Wii
Well, I guess I have somewhat of an interesting story to tell. Two nights ago, the day after Christmas, we decided that we were going to go get a Wii for all of us. So, we get to Walmart and they're out of them, but they tell us that they're getting a shipment of 6 Wii's in at midnight. It was about 9 o'clock then. My dad wanted to go home and go to sleep before midnight, so he suggested I ask Amanda to come pick me and my three little brothers up so we could all go chill in Walmart until midnight so that we would be the first ones to get the Wii. So, I did. She came and got us and we went there, and we played Guitar Hero and saw Cody Zeller! Hahaha. Juliann came too, but she hadn't gotten permission, so she went home. We eventually got the Wii and went back to my papa's, and set it up and played. Juliann and her boyfriend, Danny, met us at my papa's. Juliann snuck out and Danny helped her. Apparently, they "do it all the time"? We all just hung out and ate snacks and talked and played Wii! It was pretty fun. The people at Walmart were totally sick of us though, haha. Because my brother's are the loudest and most hyper kids on the planet. And there's THREE of these crazy animals. And it was MIDNIGHT.
We're crazy. (:
Then I went home and spent the night with Amanda, after we had all stayed up at my Grandpa's house until 4 A.M. We got to Amanda's house when I realized that I left my phone and money at my (papa's) house. So, we went back. (I'm really not sure how anyone slept through all of this action!) I got in there and I couldn't find my phone or my money, and I was getting worried, because it was a lot of money. I found my phone, but still couldn't find my money. We ended up going back to Amanda's, but I couldn't sleep. I was really worried about that money, haha. My body couldn't take it anymore, so I did eventually fall asleep, at like 6 in the morning. Hahaha. Then I woke up at noon, and called my brother to see if he had found it, and he had. I was so relieved. So, we went back and got it and then we headed up to Evansville for the day. We chilled in Barne's & Noble's for an hour or two, and I finished two PostSecret books! (: Then we went to the mall and I got this amazingly cute shirt. Then we went to Target. Then we went around the world trying to find these pair of boots that I wanted. We had planned on going to see that new movie Seven Pounds with Will Smith (LOVE HIM!) in it, but my dad texted me and said he wanted me home. Of course, just my luck. We went to Shoe Carnival and finally found those boots, and when I got up to the counter they were cheaper than what I thought they were. I was excited, haha. (:
Then we went home. And I stayed up pretty much all night playing Wii with my littlest brother, Josiah. He's freakin' good at it, too! I'll kick your butt at bowling and possibly golf, and if I get lucky tennis, too. Other than that, I kind of suck. Just a tad. But I'm in training, so watch out.
Now I'm just sitting here writing this blog. I need to go take a shower, so I'll maybe write later. So you can hear more about my "interesting" life.
;D
XOXO, Emily

Drops of Jupiter
I haven't written on here in awhile, so I decided to give it a shot again.
I'm in Indiana right now, and I'm loving the time away from home. I needed to be away from everything and everyone there for awhile, but I miss Samantha dearly. Unfortunately, I'll be back soon.
I guess the biggest paragraph in this entry should be about Christmas? There's really not all that much to say. Since this world is so into material things, I'll go ahead and list the things I got, although I feel that Christmas is about so much more than tangable things such as: $200, a locket, clothes, books, the part missing from my keyboard to fix it, and piano lessons when I return to the infamous Hickory, North Carolina. That gives me something to look forward to.
I'm really enjoying the time I'm getting to spend with my family, lately. My daddy means the world to me, and seeing him get to visit his best friends down here and have such a good time with them makes me happy. He needs that. Which is why I think we should pack up and move down here, but for some reason, he doesn't fully agree. I'll survive down in Carolina, somehow, some way.
And I'm especially enjoying the time I'm getting to spend with Amanda and Juliann. We've hung out a couple of times, and I'll miss them so much when I go back home. It's quite depressing, really.
I don't really know what else to say, honestly. I'm pretty much a bore, ha. I'm going to go get some more of my Papa's lemonade, because it's amazing, and I've been craving lemonade for like, the past year.
Write sometime in the near future.
XOXO, Emily
I miss you, both of you, as much as I hate to admit it.

OH MY LAW!
I haven't been on here in ages! Geez, Louise. So much has happened in the past month or so that I have absolutely no clue where to start. But I'll try starting here...
Tomorrow I have ISS, which is In-School Suspension. But before y'all go thinkin' I'm a bad girl now, just listen. My mom made me tardy too many times (ask her!), so they gave me two hours of Saturday School. But I was really busy this weekend with two of my closest friend's Sweet Sixteen's and I forgot ALL about it. It didn't even cross my mind. So, now I have ISS tomorrow for accidentally skipping the original punishment.
I have it with Marlee. Haha, so at least I won't be alone, right?
SAMANTHA IS SIXTEEN! AND SO IS ELISE! :D Elise's party was amazing. We all dressed semi-formal in either purple or orange, so it was all color-coordinated. I don't think anyone really used orange in their outfit. Me and Samantha went dress shopping together and I got this purple dress that was kind of short, but not too short. And then I wore black ankle boots.
She had this band come and play, We Shout Goodnight. They were really good. And the guys were hot....
;D
Not that that's what counts. It's about the music. But, the music was amazing. They did an acoustic set. But I'm just saying, it's a pretty peachy extra if all the guys are super cute AND they can play an instrument.
Peachy.... haha, I know, I know, cool word.
I really need to get some sleep, because it's 12:37 at night. Or, in the morning, I guess I should technically say. But there is so much to catch up on, it's almost wearing me out just thinking about it. I'll write as much as I possibly can tomorrow.
Goodnight!
XOXO, Emily Love
I can't breathe without you, but I have to.
