So wow..


Rach picked me up from drivers ed and we came to the house for a lil while until we got hungry and then we went to town. Rach talked to Dock the whole time and blah. We went up to Video Giant and got The Phantom of the Opera & The Upside of Anger. We got a pizza and came home and ate and watched The Phantom of the Opera but I fell asleep because I was so tired. It’s really freakin’ good though so I’m gonna watch the rest of it tomorrow. Wow, it’s great though. It’s gonna be one of my faves, I think! So now I’m just sitting here talking to Sam. I’m going tomorrow to get Tommy & Danny pics! Yay! Aren’t you excited? lol Well, okay..time to go! Love to you all! xoxo, Hil*


In sleep
he sang to me,
in dreams
he came . . .
that voice
which calls to me
and speaks
my name . . .
And do
I dream again?
For now
I find
the Phantom of the Opera
is there –
inside my mind . . .


–edit– yeah its like 1 am and im crying about everything in the world…im so freaking emotional and i hate it. im losing friends left & right and im just like WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!? Do I drive people away? Do I hold on too tight? What IS it?

Hey huns..i’m at school. I PASSED MY CLASS WITH A 99!!! Oh i’m so happy! Thank you guys so much for prayin for me and all that jazz. I LOVE YOU ALL! So I woke up bout 10 & watched Room Raiders with my sister & the girl was a slut and she picked the ugliest guy…blah. We ran by the Title 1 office and got some money n then went to Village and I got a pizza stick n some potato things n YUM!


Its been a boring day pretty much..and im like wishing it would rain. It’s so hot and I wanna dance in the rain..with a guy *cough*.


Anywho..me n Seth ran over to the title 1 office (THE MEDIA CENTER!) to give a laptop back and I told my mommy goodbye..She’s going to Mississippi tonight with Daddy for their anniversary. Awwww. Too sweet. Rachel said that Mrs Beth wants me to keep Austin after school. I said i’d do it. I don’t mind him much. I wonder how he’s gonna get to my house though. Oh well. I’m gonna watch movies with Rach tonight & Imma try to watch the phantom of the opera just for Becca! lol And im going to pick up my pics tomorrow!! YAY!


well loves, im gone…comment! xoxo, hil*

Woo, it was a great day. Drivers ed sucked….Annese emailed me twice and made my day! I saw Sam today! Yay!!! I drove alot….and I watched the Pacifer. I”m so sleepy and my head is pounding.


I’m talking to Seth, Monica and her lovely friends in a chat. So I’ll go take some tylenol and get on with it. One more day of driver’s ed. I CAN DO IT! xoxo, hil*

I wasn’t going to update until I got alot of comments but I’m so bored and im a xanga whore, so you know how it goes. I woke up this morning about 10 and went to the doctor. I saw Jorie and she said I had an ear infection and gave me some eardrops. I wanted a durn antibiotic or some pain medicine-lol. My ear hurts soo badly. We went to Popeyes and got me some lunch and then I went to class.. This was the worst day yet. I looked sloppy and I was sick and tired..gosh. We read way too much in the book and I got so sleepy I thought I was going to fall out.. And we watched two films today but they weren’t funny..they weren’t very good so I was kinda disappointed being the fact that that’s the best part of my day usually. It was a really long 6 hours today. I did write Sam a letter though. And Haley.


We got out at 540 and I called Rach and we talked about her problems until she drove up-lol. So I came home and tried to call Sam and ate a corndog and a popsicle. I was going to go to church, but I have fever so Mom said to stay here. I feel horrible. I look horrible. Gosh, it’s just horrible. I hate being sick!


Rachel’s going to develop my Missouri pics tomorrow and I’m super duper excited about that! I’m hoping to get Sam to scan them this weekend, but if for some reason that doesn’t work, I’ll try to scan them at Kylie’s next week sometime. Mom & Dad are going out of town for their aniversary (Aug 16) this Friday. Probably to Mississippi or something. I’m renting movies and getting ice cream and having a big chillaxing time all by myself, I hope. Miss Congeniality Two was GREAT! I cried!! Aww. I cried when Gracie told Sam she had a friend, lol. And then she snorted..and it was so great. Sandra Bullock is my favorite actress!! She has been since Practical Magic.


Anyway, im getting my hair cut on Tuesday, Im hoping. I love haircuts! I’m not sure how short I’m going to go..but hopefully pretty short. I’m tired of all this hair to fix. I saw Destinee this morning and I couldnt believe how long her hair has gotten. I couldnt put up with it. Ooh, im eating pork rinds. YUM! I used to think they were sooo gross. I really love them now though! Especially the spicy kind. I’m ready for piano to start because I’m ready to go to Suebelle’s! I needa make her some chocolate or something before school starts though. YESS! I TURN 15 IN 11 DAYS!!!! Will you guys do something with me for my birthday? Okay, bye..*hugs* xoxo, hil*

<—-ARE WE NOT THE CUTEST THING????? hehe..gosh I cant wait for her to come back home…..lol She’ll be home Sunday.. Anyway, I got drivers ed in a bit so I should be gettin ready but gah..it lasts like all day. When I wake up, I leave and when I get home, im sleepy again…I needa take some snacks or something today though. Because food is necessary for a 6 hour class…lol We get lots of breaks though..n I just sit by Seth and pay very good attention to Mrs Tammy..so it’s not deadly. I just cant stand more than half of the people there..lol Most of them actually…lol. So im thinkin imma sing at revival..something easy like All in All..or sumthin..so Dock will come n maybe Mr. Nathan n Mrs Robin..Rachels gonna play the piano when I sing..its like a sisterly thing-I SO RHYMED! Ok…time to go…email me! noshoesluvsjesus@yahoo.com xoxo, hil*


–edit–


So….drivers ed was dumb again. But I learned that you look over your shoulder for an excuse to check out the people in the next car..HAHA!! And we watched lots of videos today and they were funny..made me laugh. Got done at 545 n came home…didnt do much of nething. Ate mac n cheese..watched a lil bit of dirty dancin..then me n Rach went to video giant and listened to MM BOP! haha It made me miss Amber so much! I need to go write her a letter.. I came home and ate watermelon and now I’m here talking to Arlene. I’m about to go watch Miss Congeniality 2. I’m ready to go to work with Annese..I wonder if I’m gonna do that actually. Anywho..talk to you kids later…Why arent you commenting?? You’re supposed to be commenting!!! I ❤ You! xoxo, hil*

*cries*


I HATED IT…..DRIVERS ED WAS HORRIBLE!!! I wanted to go on a dang shooting spree…I hate all them stupid ppl who are takin it…gosh it was so stupid. And all the ppl i DONT hate have their own friends to occupy them. And Tommy still hasnt emailed me back…and I miss James & ARlene…Not a great day 4 the Hil, but im ok lol..im just complaining and all that jazz ya know.


Rach came and got me in Dock’s truck..yay. We rode up to Sonic..n we saw Angie and she got a flip flop chainletter. lol She makes me laugh. She’s like YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO GET 36 PAIR OF FLIP FLOPS! lol And Stephanie lives in a blue metal building…and I didnt know that. We had to take Dock’s truck back to Nick n Angies and then came home..I dont feel good. I got an earache..and I took medicine that didn’t taste right. Oh well..bye bye. xoxo, hil*


“Twilight” Vanessa Carlton

I was stained, with a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right I just didn’t know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight

[Chorus]
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I’ve seen, cause I’ve seen, twilight

[Verse 2]
Never cared never wanted
Never sought to see what flaunted
So on purpose so in my face Couldn’t see beyond my own place
And it was so easy not to behold what I could hold
But you taught me I could change Whatever came within these shallow days

[Chorus]
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I’ve seen, cause I’ve seen

[Bridge]
As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead and
I didn’t know that I could be so blind to all that is so real
But as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed

[Chorus]
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I’ve seen, cause I’ve seen, twilight

[Verse 3]
I was stained, by a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right
I just didn’t know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight

[Chorus]
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I’ve seen, cause I’ve seen, twilight…

Im about to go to drivers ed in like an hour and a half. Pray for me, lol. I went to bed at 930 last night so yall should be way proud. lol Yes, Jeff, Dazed & Confused is a Zeppelin song!!! Yay, huh? And Will…Zeppelin does NOT suck….lol And I changed my profile pic! Now I look like i’m on drugs! haha.. & sam n Adam look cooool bc they are cool. I might put the one of me, sam n Maurly on here, but i was just trying em all out. Ok kids…I dont update my poetry site until I get at least ONE comment on my poems so yeah. Go comment on my lovely poem about old people!!! Well..im so dreading drivers ed…like u have no idea. Mostly bc im tired though. and hungry. I want some potato salad.


I talked to somebody yesterday that made me happy like WHOAH! hehe. But we won’t get into that. I need to go get ready…i dont want to at all… Take me to MOnroe to get my pics developed, mk??? I’d really appreciate that! Well loves…email me n write me letters n leave me comments.


Sometimes at the hardest times of your life,
friends are the only things that make sense &
sometimes when they don’t make sense at all,
its because you’re trying too hard to look for
what is already there instead of just taking it
as it comes to you.


xoxo, hil*

Well, what’s been goin on?


I went to Texas on Friday morning. Sam came and saw me before I left because she loves me!! AWW! haha N then me, mom, dad, Aunt Andrea n Adam went to Texas…We drove forever and I just listened to music on my headphones n had a good ride up there. I was so excited to be at Aunt Sharons!!! We hung out for a while and I sent Sam pics until Aunt Sharon got home from work and then we all went to eat at this Catfish Junction place and it was SOOO good. It had a buffet n YUM! I ate way too much n it was sooo good. The ride up there and back wasnt so pleasant..lol because we were too crowded! Anyway, on the way back we got stopped by a cop-LOL!! It was too funny..but he didnt ticket us or nething. He stopped us for something really dumb..some new law or something about slowing down 30 under the speed limit when u see a cop on the side of the road or some crap. I think he was just mad cuzz he was in the way, lol. He was pretty durn rude, too. When we got home, we all went swimming for a while!!! It was great!!! & then Sam called and we talked until like 11:15 or something and I finally went to bed about 12:15.


Saturday I woke up about 10:30 and ate some bacon-hehe. We all hung out and then A. Andrea & Adam left n I cried again…It’s crazy, Im not supposed to cry when ppl leave anymore..but Ive been doing it again lately..gosh durnit!! Anywho though, Aunt Sharon got my card while I was there…aw….we hung out for a bit n I watched tv with my dad and then Aunt Sharon made me a diet coke float & we left.


I GOT A KEYLIME BLIZZARD FROM DAIRY QUEEN!!!! YUMMMM! AND LISTENED TO KENNY CHESNEY…OH IT WAS LOVELY!


When I got home yesterday, I called Sam and I ended up goin to her house bc we hadnt hung out in forever. We watched Dazed & Confused & it made me SO happy..and we got our showers & then hung out a lil bit. Around 1, she was sleepy but I kept her up talking and then we talked and talked about all this RANDOM crap until 4:30 this mornin.. It was a good talk though! I ate some ice cream about 430 and we fell asleep about 5 watching Full House.


Church was ok today. I couldnt concentrate bc I had people on my mind-lol. Haley wrote me a letter & wrote me another one during the song service lol YAY!! Reed thanked me for his card & then I went to Grandmothers n ate chicken spaghetti & wrote Haley back & then took a LONG NAP. Aunt Dana called to thank me for HER card & then I talked to the family about Thanksgivin plans & how our family needs to get in church. Plz pray for my family, aight? Everybody’s havin marriage problems and all of the ones havin problems aren’t in church anymore..so please pray that God shows them that ya know…Ok I gotta go…I LOVE U!! Leave me messages! And don’t forget to check out www.xanga.com/ordinaryaintgoodenough to see my new poem!

Church was REALLY REALLY good…it was just a singing and it was such a blessing. It made me wanna start singing again (along with Mrs Mary begging me again)…I think imma sing at revival but not sure. So Mrs Mary, Mr. Billy, Reed n Sawyer sang about 3 or 4 songs…but AW! WOW, it was so good. I couldve cried… The Pauleys sang & at the last song I started thinking bout Mr. Huey n his funeral…and I was almost in tears and then I saw Mrs Theresa crying and then when the song was over, she said some stuff and I started crying…but in a good way. Cuzz hes not homesick ne more. So yeah, Mrs Mary was like HILARY..IM NOT GIVIN UP! lol so I guess imma have to sing…so prayers, lol.
