Thanks Allison

So a fell widster, Allison, decided to tag me in this.  Maybe it's just what I need to distract me.  But I'm pretty sure I don't know 8 people on here to tag.

7. What would you do for a Klondike bar?

8. Tell me something that not a lot of people know about you.


I was a vocal music major my 1st year of college.


And now I must think of 8 questions and tag 8 people to join in on the fun!
Well I only know 2 people that haven't been tagged.  So they can do this if they wish.

Once upon a football game

Tonight I went to the UK football game with my sister, a few minutes into the game they bring out on the field wounded warriors from Ft. Knox and Ft. Campbell.  I at this point lose it (I was pretty drunk) and still haven't recovered. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for supporting them but there isn't shit for the families of the fallen compared to the wounded.  There are ZERO goverenment funded programs, all of the groups I'm involved in (TAPS, AWP) are completely donation funded! 

ERRRRRRRRRRR

That's all.

Sweet Emily

So it's a well known fact in my family that my house is haunted by a little girl named Emily.  Spend one night here and you'll understand.  And here's her story.

My house was built in 1925 by a young couple, when they died it was left to their son who rented it out until 2008 when I bought it.  So I'm technically only the second family to own in.  When I came to look at my house it was completely empty, shortly after I bought it and started fixing it up I found this small piece of paper folded up in what is now Julia's closet.  On this paper was a drawing of a little girl with "Emily" written under it.  Soon after we moved in we (my friend Tiffany was living with me at the time) started noticing things disappearing around the house or being misplaced.  We would just put it off as our forgetfulness or me putting something in one spot and Tiff putting it away in another.  But then after Tiffany moved out it kept happening.  One afternoon Julia and I were playing out back and talking with my neighbor and I casually mention it when she stops me and asks me to repeat what I had just said.  Turns out the renter that lived here before I bought the house said the same thing to her before she moved, down to the Emily part.

Not long after that my aunt, sister and I went to see a psychic and we asked about it.  He 'channeled' or whatever and told me she was a young girl between 6-8 who didn't have a mother and she's just looking for a mother figure to control her.  She didn't die in this house, she was attached to someone that brought her here and she stayed.  He also told me that when strange things happen around the house just to say, "Emily, that's enough."  Now a few weeks after that my sister and I had a Pure Romance party here and we were talking about it when my cousin Regina asked, "Ally have you ever thought of saying, 'In the name of Jesus Christ, rest in peace Emily?'" 

All has been quiet in the house since then, until a few weeks ago when this doll of Julia's would randomly giggle, cry, make noise all hours of the day and night.  Then Wednesday night I'm in the middle of writing an email and my computer (plugged in and all) just completely shuts down and won't even turn back on.  I just let it go.  Then last night happened....

One 'oldest' friends that I've known, liked and still hang out with and talk to occasionally since we were High School Freshmen, stopped by last night just for a visit.  As we're sitting here talking everytime Randy talked, sneezed, coughed or breathed to loudly Julia's baby doll would go off.  I turn the doll off, finish up what I was working on online and turn my computer off, close it, set it on the table and it turns back on.  My computer did this five times last night! 

I've always said it doesn't bother that my house is haunted, because it really doesn't.  As long as I don't physically see anything or Emily doesn't screw with my head to much, I'm fine.  But last night was to much!!  Now I'm to freaked out to go sleep.  Maybe I need the psychic to come out and cleanse my house or something....

Survey

My girl, Allison, did this last Sunday and since I'm trying to get the hang of this whole blogging thing, I thought it might be something to try.  :)


1. Do you like seafood?



Not one bit, thinking about shrimp makes me gag.



2. Are mermaids hot?

Kinda creepy if you ask me....how do they go to the bathroom?


3. Have you swam in the ocean?





Yes, I've been able to swim longer than I could walk.





4. If you got stung by a jellyfish, would you let a stranger pee on you?





It would probably scare the pee out of me so I wouldn't need a stranger.





5. Have you ever pee'd in the ocean?





Who hasn't?





6. Can you make a cute fish face? (Show a pic..if you want)





Nobody can





7. When you see the lobster tank at the grocery store do you just have this overwhelming urge to set them free or cook them up?





They creep me out so I advoid it.





8. Are you afraid of sharks?





Not really, I don't see many sharks in Kentucky
 
 
That wasn't so bad...

Well....maybe my life isn't exciting enough for a blog or maybe when I start typing things out and reread it I know that it'll only make sense to me so I end up deleting it.  But really what it is I know I can't really say what is bothering me because I know the certain people that bother me will end up reading this at some point and it's more drama that I don't need.

But enough of that, I mainly wanted to share this song by Dave Matthews Band.  I've heard it a million times before but never really listened to it until last night and it describes so many things in my life it's amazing.  We were talking in Music for Elementary Teachers (sounds exciting I know) Tuesday night about how a song makes you stop in your tracks and take you back to a place, time and emotion. 

 I'll walk halfway around the world
Just to sit down by your side
And I would do most anything, girl
To be the apple of your eye
Well troubles, they may come and go
But good times, they're the gold
And if the road gets rocky, girl
Just steady as we go
Any place you wanna go
Know I'll be next to you
If it's treasure, baby, you're looking for
I'll search the whole world through
I know troubles, they may come and go
But good times, they're the gold
So if the road gets rocky, girl
Just steady as we go
When the storm comes down you shelter me
When I don't say a word and you know exactly what I mean
In the darkest times, oh, you shine on me
You set me free and keep me steady as we go
So if your heart wrings dry, my love
I will fill your cup
And if your load gets heavy, girl
I will lift you up
Well troubles, they may come and go
But good times be the gold
So if the road gets rocky, girl
Just steady as we go

Firsties

Well, here we go.


Some of my widsters friends have their own blogs so after some thought I've decided to start my own.  It seems so healing for them and although I am at a different place in my life than they are I'm hoping for some clarity.  Maybe it'll just be a way for me to get all these crazy thoughts out of my head. 


So here's my start and we'll see how it all works out.
