Final Post.

Hey there people, I bring you sad news.
This is the last post on this blog. Do not fret, I'm revamping my blogging skills on my new blog: http://betterchaptersamebook.blogspot.com/
Recently, a whole stinking lot has changed in my life. My boyfriend and I of two years split up, and now I'm getting the amazing opportunity to completely reinvent myself. I'm redoing my room, I'm keeping a personal inventory, and I've even changed my path that I'm taking for my future career. It's weird, sometimes sad, but for the most time good.
A quick side note for all "dumpees" everywhere- Read An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. And do it fast.
I feel like I should write a lengthy post, but honestly? I'm just kind of ready to move on.
I love you all, and hope to see you on my new blog, where I will be posting a little bit more personally. As Mr. Graham would call it, "the juicy stuff."
Peace off for the last time!

Better Together

Hello! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. 
Hallo! Leider habe ich eine Weile nichtgebloggt.
Hej! Undskyld jeg ikke har blogget i et stykke tid.
К сожалению, я не писали в то время.
 مرحبا! آسف لأني لم تدون في كل حين.
Hello! Sorry dat ik nog niet geblogd in een tijdje.


I think that about sums it up. Again, I'm sorry. Tumblr and my untitled and ever changing story have been eating my soul. And what am I doing? I'm ADDING to that. Hopefully by tomorrow, I will have my newest blog up and running. It will be totally, completely, 100% FOOD. Pictures of food, recipes, gluten free indulgences, and hopefully eventually reviews of restaurants. .
Crazy? Maybe. Impossible? Never.

I've been using the word want a lot lately. And it's starting to make me angry. It's not that I'm overly selfish, but I know I have the tendency and the capability to be selfish. So I'm working on that.

Another thing that I am working on is being more motivated. I start a bajillion things and they all somehow get left behind. (eh-hem, this blog) so I'm going to stop that. I recently cleaned out my room and rearranged everything, and now it's time to do the same thing to myself.
Here is a list of all the things I have abandoned that I will pick back up, no matter how much time it takes:
1. Novel #1.
2. Novel #2.
3. German lessons
4. Russian lessons
5. Working out (Joining a gym as soon as I get back from camp!)
6. Journaling
7. Soccer
Things I have already begun to cross off the list:
1. Playing guitar more than just stinking once a week.
2. Singing
3. Writing in general
4. Blogging! :D

Obviously there are a lot more on the to-do list than the have-done list, but this will change! I'm getting all pumped.

You know that thing, of when you like someone, but you like them more than just friends? And eventually, you admit it to each other, and eventually you get to where you like someone more than just liking, and start using the different word, that love word? The one that's scary? But then later you realize, that word shouldn't have really been used then, because now you actually know what it means and feels like? I'm there. Things are so different for Scott and I now. In a good way. It's like, we never had that initial shock of "Hey! We're together! Let's get super infatuated!" so now that it has come and passed so much later in our relationship, we're chill and can just sit back and enjoy each other. And it's nice. And I like it.

Anyway, I have some writing to get back to.
Later blogles!

NaNoWriMo... NOW!

As I previously mentioned, I am going to be partaking in the wonderful yet frightening NaNoWriMo. Well, I couldn't wait until November.
I'M WRITING MY NOVEL THIS SUMMER.
Inhale. Exhale. Better.
50,000 words, by the time summer is over.
This blog is going to become a monitor of word counts and stress levels, just to let you know.
No time for goodbyes, I must write.

Tumblr

Dear Cheeseheads (and no not the Packers kind)-
I am sorry that I have abandoned this blog. Tumblr has pretty much taken over my internet life, so go ahead and keep up with this one if you please, but know that posts will be few.
baconobsessed.tumblr.com is where you shall find me most of my days.
Until next time-
Gracie

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the problem Science has with God. He asked one of his new Christian students to stand.

Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Professor: My brother died of cancer, even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is God good, then? Hmm?
(Student was silent)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From.. God.
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So who created evil?
(Student didn’t answer)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immortality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them?
(Student had no answer)
Professor: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son.. have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your God.
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God, for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Professor: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, Science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor: Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student: No, sir, there isn’t.
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of Heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was a pon-drop silence in the Lecture Theatre)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light… But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called Darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, You would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
(The class was in uproar)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? .. No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable and Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student: That is it, sir.. exactly! The link between man and God is Faith. That is all that keeps things alive and moving!

Crazy For This Girl

Hej danske tilhængere! Jeg elsker jer alle inderligt. Hvis jegnogensinde går til Danmark, jeg håber at møde jer alle!
Oh you didn't understand that? Well sorry, it wasn't meant for you then. 
I am a very happy girl. Why? Well I'll tell you why! Scott is getting back in two days! I have excitement in me. "But Gracie! I didn't know he was gone!" Yeah I'm a blog fail. What are you gonna do? 
Last night Caylie spent the night which was spiffy. We watched The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and as stupid as it sound that movie is GOOD. So are the books. So do not judge. 
Speaking of Caylie, Sweet Pea by Amos Lee just came on my Pandora. Just thought I'd share.
I've been doing the song titles as a header for a while now, and it's pretty fun. If you want that to change, I'm sorry. Cause it probably never will. Also, if you are a reader of this blog but not a follower, please become one. I have a ton of pageviews, but only five followers. Now I know that they don't look at this blog that much, and I'm curious who all is out there reading. 
Sweetness in Starlight by Matt Wertz is a good slow song. 
I have decided something. I want a show like Andrew Zimmern. Travel the world, eat crazy food, experience new cultures, and make a couple of bucks? Hecks to the yes. 
I finally broke down and downloaded iBooks. And I have to say, as much as I hate to admit it, I love it. I actually enjoy reading books on my iPod. It is making me question everything I've ever known about myself. What's next? Listening to non Maroon 5 pop music?
Okay, I don't really feel like typing further, even though there was a lot more I wanted to say.
Adios!

Where We Gonna Go From Here

I couldn't pass up sharing these lyrics. So beautiful.


All of your ways and all your thunder
Got me in a haze running for cover
Where we gonna go from here
Where we gonna go from here

Car lights in the driveway
I wonder who's going coming my way
Tomorrow we're turning down the highway
With another bright stage on a weekday
Green grass and a radio
Watching it fly past and away we go
Seven hundred places seven hundred faces more

All your ways and all your thunder
Got me in a haze running for cover
Where we gonna go from here
Where we gonna go from here
The back of your eyes look like my mothers
When we talk your like my brother
Where we gonna go from here
Where we gonna go from here

Time is moving on our side
How could I miss you to another guy
Pull of the ocean and the roaring tide
Is bigger than my eyes or my design
Father got a best plan
Saving his daughter for the best man
Seven hundred places seven hundred faces more



All your ways and all your thunder
Got me in a haze running for cover
Where we gonna go from here
Where we gonna go from here
The back of your eyes look like my mothers
When we talk your like my brother
Where we gonna go from here
Where we gonna go from here



I've waited and I'll wait some more
Won't see me knocking on another door
But all this is crazy and amazing
There's only one half of us that I'm saving
So I'm praying just to let it go
Watch from a distance just to see you glow
Seven hundred places seven hundred faces more

All your ways and all your thunder
Got me in a haze running for cover
Where we gonna go from here
Where we gonna go from here
The back of your eyes look like my mothers
When we talk your like my brother
Where we gonna go from here
Where we gonna go from here
