The copious clouds roared within the darkened gray sky. Pitter, patter, pitter, patter, pitter, patter, accompanied the roars with the sweet drops of rain. Woo, a stretched out sound of air flowed through the air. Leaves crinkled falling off of the withered away branches flowing onto the grown like a wave at sea. Crows cried in the distance for a safe place to hide. The eerie weather had just begun.

She sat in her great grandmother's hickory chair leaning forward and backward, forward and backward again like a slow silent cello in the background. The woman's hair waved to beneath her breast line, raving her rusty autmn color weaved within strands of white. Her eyes had seen much in her life time. With her worn out deep green eyes she watched the storm to come, silently humming a song of her mother's to herself in her deep alto voice. It made her feel safe when she was a young girl.

Silently sleeping,
All through the night,
Mother is peeping,
To be sure I'm alright

The storm woorled louder now. The pitter patter pitter patter had morphed into an angry stampeed. The whoorling wind began to pick up small items for the ground carrying it alongside with it. Lightening beamed from the sky less than a mile again. The middle-aged woman hummed her song louder, calm but cautious.

Her black cat dashed away from his typical daytime lounge besides the rickety tree and scurried over pawing at the frame of the netted door, but she did not budge. She sat there robotically leanign back and forth on her great grandmother's hickory chair humming her mother's soothing song.

Lightening striked again less than a half a mile away nearby a tree. A deep operatic roar multiplied in the background. A lost dog ran by Hickory Lane with a tattered piece of rope dragging by it's side. The dog staggered, whimpering at each pace.


[yeah now I'm stuck... haha I hope you enjoyed that]

Completely Happy :]

Life has truly been wonderful lately. I'm not going to lie, ever since my parents have left for GA life has been FANTASTIC! Lauren and I had one of the most amazing nights of our lives Thursday. Our original plan was to just go to Zombie Prom but the play sucked and eventually out of all things we decided to drive to Madera! And he had an absolute blast! I love that girl.

Then work was pretty good this weekend and then tonight Emily and I a wonderful evening as well. I swear, she was dying to tell me every microscopic detail from her night last night and it was so cute but at the same time that made me feel slightly lonely as well but we laughed our heads off so much and yet again I had another unforgettable evening.

Honestly, I had so many friends asking me if I was going to throw a party while my parents have been away and it's just like you know I've had so much fun just having clean fun throughout the whole week that a party would be nothing in comparison.

So thank you God for such an amazing time.

I am truly greatful.

So It's Been A While.

Something that I have learned over time is that the people that you think are there for you...aren't always there. Pardon my language but they may appear as the half-assed friend. I feel about this towards MANY people and I there is something I've kept deep inside of me since the summer began and I need to scream it out to the world. I feel so utterly alone. I don't think I've ever felt this alone in my life. The closest to this feeling was when I had jaw surgery and gum surgery. No one came to visit me except my family. They are the ones I rely on. During that time period I was in pain and no one decided to show up to my house to say hello except I think two friends of mine, both of which have moved onto other lives in other places. 

You see, I'm the type of person that is the social butterfly. I try talking to everyone in the group. I try to get close to people and try to have time with others. I just crave to get to know people. And I knew this summer would be a little bit crappy because of graduation, friends moving on, and the breakup with Rex. But I was distracted...I replaced my own weakness with a...temporary manner. But I had this mindset that college would be the coolest place ever. I'd get to meet new people...I'd love my classes. It was just going to be this fantastic experience. 

But here's the thing... nobody really socializes at FCC...and the classes are alright and all but isn't it the people that really create the experience? I was overly excited when one of the cool girls from my writing class and I walked together because in a way I felt like I finally starting to to get somewhere with the new friends thing...but it's just not working.

It's like everyone is in their own little world there. For some reason the first thing I picture of is a world where everyone has their own bluetooth in their ear and are all walking the same way at the same time, talking in the same voice tone about the same things. And I'm the one taking out the bluetooth watching them all thinking, "What is going on here?" 

Now you are reading this and probably thinking... omg... is she actually serious? And I totally am. I have felt this way for so long and I'm grabbing onto that last strand of thread trying to hold on. When I am with people the thoughts are temporarily hidden away but when its times like these where I spend hours alone... with no one that it hurts.

And just to let you know I'm not suicidal or anything. Those of you that know me very well I think know that I could never feel that way but I do know there needs to be something that changes soon.
