I was just following orders.

Listening to Glass Houses by the Classic Crime

They talk of glass houses 
Well I built a crystal cathedral 
And I took my stones to the rooftop 
To play target practice with people 

I was too young to know the difference 
I was just following orders 
But when the glass shattered around me
 I learned a good lesson about my disorder

I love this album SO much! I'm like, obsessing over it!
Well, anyways, today is the Chili Cook-off.
My dad and the Movement are doing it! I'm excited. ^-^
I get to eat da chilleh.
Nom Om Nom.
Still listening to Glass houses in my dad's office at the church.
Waiting for the chili cook-off to start.
Toodles!

We thought we were happy.

rough days <<lowercase post>>

okay. today was my last day of school, so you'd think that i would be happy, right? well, not so much. you see, this was my last year at my elementary school, and i am going to middle school this next year. anyways, so the entire day, i was thinking "omigosh it's gonna be sad when i have to leave!" so i went through the day, almost like usual <<at lunch i screamed "this is my last bite of elementary school food!">> and at the end of the day,  when the bell rang, i started to tear up as i hugged my teacher. on my way to my dad's car, i see my best friend camille, who's going to a different middle school and she says "i was just crying earlier" and i hug her and say "yeah, and now i'm crying. i'm gonna miss you. bye, camille" and then i walk to my dad's car, sniffling and feeling my eyes fill with tears.
as soon as i was in the car with the windows rolled up, i lost it. i just started bawling and weeping and everything in between. i also realized that i never had the chance for my teacher to sign my year book and i told my dad and he was like "it's okay hunny. do you want me to go back?" and i answered "no." and i walked inside our house, threw myself on the couch,  and just cried again for 5 minutes. my dad says "hey i'll be back in a couple minutes". so i stopped crying and composed myself and had lunch <<it was a minimum day at school so i ate some apples from the school >>hence the "my last bite of elementary school food!>> and posted on google +. so my dad comes home a few minutes later and says "i wanna look at your year book" and i say "i don't want to." and he takes it and says "look" and guess what..... he got it signed by my teacher! i started crying all over again and instead of tears of sadness, they were tears of joy. so pretty much i didn't have the best day, but it got better as i hung out with my friend  :)
