That Rock

I've got all this love inside me and I've just got to see if that rock won't roll.... <3

Look Heart No Hands <3

My favorite dress I've ever warn. I have an affinity for camouflage. It has this warmth and beauty I can't explain. Im drawn to it.. it's not cause I want to put off a vibe or be "redneck" I just like my camo. I like my boots. I like my Ronnie Milsap, Keith Whitley, and Waylon Jennings. Call me whatever you like... it's just me. I like my Randy Travis, Tracey Lawrence, and Jason Aldean. George Strait and Chris Young serenade me as I sleep. Something in the steel guitars...the twang the country breathes into my soul and my heart beats with it. It's indescribable.
Experience it for yourself. It's an undeniable irrevocable passion in my soul... one day I hope to share it with a special someone that my Lord has for me.It's my prayer that he breathes in this same passion and that we connect a common passion and desire for this music. This music that is so much more than music.

Outlooks

I have a new one. It hit me just like they say it will in the movies... it was amazing and it awoke in me a fire a spirit of success and independence and love and beauty and strength... I can't describe what it was but it just burst forth and I knew then and there laying in bed at 1 in the morning.. my life would never be the same... I am living. I will be fearless.. the only fear I carry will be the fear of The Lord Almighty. Anywho... I'll catch y'all laters I'm gonna crash. There's more to come on this epiphany.

P.s. Here's the best way I can describe it ...In life we face a choice to open ourselves up and experience greater joy, with greater joy comes harder falls and greater pains. The point of it is are you willing to go through the greater pain for those moments of inexpressible joy. That's what separates those who live life and those who merely go through the motions. Be open, be real, be vulnerable. This is living.

Let's Get Some Answers

Life... go to the bible ... you'll find answers there. In the past three months I've grown up so much. At the same time I've realized how much growing up I still have left. I look out and see a bigger glimpse into my broad and dream filled future... it's unclear but one thing is certain It will be great it will be rebellious in a beautiful way it will be huge and Christ filled. I will make a difference. I will change the world. I will love unconditionally. These things I know.

He Flew Away

A dear friend of mine, a mentor, a man of God, and a father passed away last Saturday. Though sometimes we have warnings and chances to say bye... this time I didn't. It is so surreal in the way that it feels like it's not official. I still expect to see him walking into my workplace and purchasing art supplies. He was an amazing artist. God used him in so many great ways. I'm at the funeral now and though I am not fearful I am fearful because I know when I see him in that casket it's real ... Death has taken my friend. But the power of Christ is that he is already alive again and with God in heaven. Praising forever. singing the eternal freedom song. Thank You Lord

Crying through chick flicks

I don't know why it is that the woman loves the chick flick and the men tend to love the thriller/action movies. I feel it has a deeper connection into how the two genders are so different yet made for each other. The woman loves to watch the stories where a man and woman fall in love and love happily ever after. The man loves the stories where he runs through deserts and completes undercover missions just to capture the heart of a woman in the end. He thrives for the action and she loves his action. They complete each other seamlessly. This realization was sparked by two things really mainly, The first being the movie I just watched, "The Vow."
The second being the book I am currently (along with many other books haha. I tend to flitter like a butterfly from here to there as I read books) called, "Captivating." I am currently quite exhausted after a long day of golfing with my dad and cousin and his son, to laying out at the pool and getting sunburnt, to watching a teenie but of "Grease", to two graduation parties for three people, to baking two batches of brownies and rice krispie treats(By the way I used fruity pebbles instead of typical rice krispies.), to watching "The Vow", to top it all off I'm watching Swamp People with my daddy and I'm going to fall asleep on the couch. Anywho, back to the chick flicks, The Vow was a beautiful story but it made me cry, Even though Channing Tatum is very handsome. It was based on a true story of a woman and her husband who get into a car wreck and she suffers brain trauma. In doing so she forgets everything for about the past four years, Basically she has to relive it all in the process and it is painful because her husband still loves her but she has no idea who he is. In the end she never regains her memory (SPOILER ALERT LOL) but they remarry and fall in love again. In the process they have two kids (: The movie cuts off before all that takes place but it tells you about it in the credits(: Well my eyes are shutting as I type this, Goodnight I enjoyed our late night virtual coffee and a snack time.Love, Ariana

The Paper Update (per request)

Well i have four pages done now in MLA format of that stupid Research Paper. Tonight is going to be super busy.

I have an AP Physics review session during the time that i am supposed to be at church leading worship soooo.... I am kinda annoyed about that but its all good. Secondly, i must finish that paper tonight haha it MUST NOT HOLD ITSLEF ABOVE ME FOR ONE MORE DAY!!!!!!!! I also have an AP Physics Test and Final to take. The final is either friday or saturday. They( meaning the teachers) have been so kind as to let us choose. I fell asleep in math today, because i still feel so rundown. My math teacher is the most kindestest teacher she just let me sleep and said "Don't worry about catching up it is ok, just try to feel better and i will help you out." Isn't that just the sweetest thing a teacher could say ... "Don't worry" It just lets me feel way less stress, like someone is watching out for me. IT is comforting to know that educators care. My mother is a teacher and i'm sure she would be sweet to a student in my scenario:) as well. I am posting from school. It is my lunchtime and i already ate during my free study period. Decided in my sometimes hectic life that right now would be a good time to update you:)

In other news i recently experienced an interesting scenario... I read into things too much. I love too deeply. I trust to openly. and I give of my heart to freely. It has once again left me feeling that there was a bond where there indeed was not... It is a strange thing to cope with because i was not in a relationship with anyone (aside from my relationship with Christ) and now i feel as if i've been 'dumped' I don't know quite how to take it at this point but i do know that whatever this feeling is .... I DON'T LIKE ITTTT!!!!!! I had formed a special place in my day for this person.. I guess i basically idolized them in a sense, waited for their texts to brighten me up, loved to hear there voice... but now all the .. Hope that i had put into the ordeal has sudenlly vaporized, been tainted. Regarding this I will say one thing for the future. When I fall in love for real, I want it to be like a fairytale. I am asking God for that fairytale prince to fall in love with. Of course i know that we all have our faults but when we truly have Christ in our heart's we see past these in other's lives we see them as Christ does. I truly am looking forward to the day that i will fall in love with the man of God's plan, the man i've been dreaming of and saving my heart and body for. I have saved my kiss for him. People ask," How will you know it is him?" I honestly believe that beyond a shadow of a doubt... I will trust god to give me that peace in my soul the sure belief that whoever it is issss my man... I believe that when i do fall in love for real that it will be in God's way and unmistakable. :) Till then I will be Rapunzel in my Tower hanging out with friends and having a merry ole time :) serving God in my singleness :)

Wow that is so long but it is something i feel passionate about. Feel free to comment :)
Lots of Love,
Ariana

Dad Gone-it Research Paper

Soooooo.... I officially have four of the seven paragraphs finished(ish).. MLA is a poop head. My teacher has assigned this so that we will "be prepared for college papers". I'd rather we just read some great literature and do a critical analysis essay paper rather than what we are doing. Or Hey Mr.Apple (in order to preserve his privacy) Why dont we do a creative free write? Pose a question and let us answer it in the form of a novella type deal... that i can handle :) uhhh haha maybe it's time to hede the advice of so many popular musicians, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!!!" Amen to that... hey just finished paragraph number four... im starting page three of what needs to be five to six... :) oh well PROGRESS!!!!!!!! haha

Sounds Like Life to Me

This is Sounds Like Life to Me by Darryl Worley... He is a country music artist whom i enjoy to hear.

Sounds like life to me plain old destiny
Yeah the only thing for certain is uncertainty
You gotta hold on tight just enjoy the ride
Get used to all this unpredictability
Sounds like life

That is the second chorus here is the first:

Sounds like life to me it ain’t no fantasy
It’s just a common case of everyday reality
Man I know it’s tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you’re caught up in some tragedy
It sounds like life to me
Now that is the first chorus... :) I do so enjoy this song.. It just popped up into my head out of nowhere... While i'm writing this research paper. Sounds like life to me... dah dee doo dah dah haha :)

still the doom of a research papaer :P

It has been an hour or so and i regret to inform you i have yet to make any progress on that research paper... ciao <3

Blogger Mobile

As soon as i get my cellphone privledges back, I am totally getting blogger mobile hahaha:) Can't wait.
Love, Ariana

Explanations and My Intentions

Alrighty, so this is a list explaining some things on my blog you (assuming people are indeed actually reading my blog haha) might have had an inkling question about. btw (by the way) yes i did just say, excuse me, rather write 'inkling'... woah i did it again ... :) haha here goes nothing (actually it is something but whatever :) )


1) The Title of My Blog "Speeding Fines Doubled"
The genesis of my title began when this site asked for me to provide one. I racked my brain. I wanted to give my blog a title that said it all. A title that would convey indeed a summary of sorts, a heading/preview of what this blog would include. I also wanted it to be comical or creative, fun and inviting even. This is tough so i thinks to myself i says ... jk i didn't 'thinks' to myself :) but I was thinking to myself. I thought what about naming it "This is real. This is me." and explaining the title as a reference to that Camp Rock song. ohhh but I didnt becuause i said to myself, "Self ... Really? Camp Rock? What is the rest of that song?" Turns out the next line isn't applicable to me. The next line of the song is "I'm exactly where i'm supposed to be yeah." I am not "exactly where i'm supposed to be yeah".  I am always changing and learning and growing as a person... so i thought hey ... why not call this blog, "Under Construction". Good idea huh? Except that domain already existed. I thought to myself, self thinkkkkk what to call it what to call it... ohhh Road Work Ahead? Oh no self not that because this IS the road work... This is the construction "site".(pun definitely intended) I expanded my tentative title to "Road Work Ahead: Speeding Fines Doubled". This was semi-okay to me but i dont do semi-okay. I strive to find the piece that i feel works BEST :) Therefore i thought well, if someone just glances at my blog with no regards and reads it tooo fast... they could lose its purpose... Which is to accurately convey me. If someone doesnt get an accurate view of me.. yikes that could cause some "fines", maybe even hurt someone. Therefore, take your time readers. Sit back and relax, enjoy me and have fun with me "it is a journey" (that is my line in a musical i am currently in haha) And if you speed... remember the fines are doubled. Fine1) it would misconvey me as a person Fine2) you would miss out on a great time (i think) Therefore we have arrived on my title "Speeding Fines Doubled" In addition to this title fitting the purpose of my blog... It was also available :) hahah wee doggie :) it was the "best fit" as i say i look for :)

2) The Infamous "..."
If you haven't noticed you probably will now, I use "..." entirely too much, too often. haha I also use "haha" quite frequently. I do not have any explanation except that it is a habit i have formed when talking via "text". Naturally, I do not use "haha" and "..." when speaking or when writing formal papers, they just tend to show up when I am writing in first person in a congenial manner (i think that is the proper use of congenial) If not let me know :) As i said I am a work in progress so feel free to leave a comment or question. I am human i do mess up and I am willing to adjust if i make a fluke. I am by no means perfect haha. (ohhh i did it) but hey if we were all the same and all perfect. Would it be necessary for all of us to exist? Exactly differences are key to friendship and to life. Pizazzz :) Secondly, regarding my penchant for "haha" and "..." It might help you to know how i read those two marks when i am reading or typing my blog. For the "haha" use context clues to determine what type of laugh it is. Basically when i type the "haha" whatever it is near made me laugh or giggle in some sort of way. Maybe it was a guffaw, maybe just a brief chuckle, or it could have been that huge laughter where you laugh so hard you are silent... man that laughter is so therapeutic. Anywho (btw anywho isn't a word but i don't hold it against him), when i use "..." I am pausing. Once again use context clues to determine how long or short these pauses are. :) Okey Dokey Enjoy
I will catch yah later
peace out girl scout :)



 (This is a general goodbye and is not limited to those of you who are actually GirlScouts. No worries it is a non selective goodbye. It loves everyone.)

Smile You're So Not On Camera (:

For my First Official Blog, here is the random question I was given on that profile settings page thingy majigger. I simply did not have enough room in 400 characters to tell the marvelous story of my youth it was inquiring of. Therefore, Below I have typed the question blogger had asked me and my answer of way more than 400 characters (: hehe I just loved the question so I elaborated (: Please disregard my GUMS (Grammer,Usage,Mechanics) This was not meant as a literary piece to be dissected for a grade on grammar, but rather a simple and enjoyable piece for the young at heart, the young in spirit, or the just plain young (:
“The children are waiting! Please tell them the story about the bald frog with the wig:”

Oh yes of course that story, Hold on i need to put my spectacles on... Now where did i last leave my spectacles. oh here they are okay now what did you ask me my deary? A story? Was that what you wanted... A long long time ago in a gala... oh not that story? what story did you want then? ohhhhh the one about the bald frog with the wig.. very well then.
Thrice upon a time Hairy ,the frog with thinning hair, had called upon his father saying, "Father, is it true that all the Winklemenkle frogs have gone bald by their fifteenth midnight?" His father replied in one long croak, " Hairy, do not trouble me with such questions at this hour. Goooo to your lily pad. It is late and you have fly duty tomorrow!" Hairy who had just lost his third molar on the second tuesday of the last week obeyed his aged Father and went to his lily pad to sleep. When he had said his froggy prayers Hairy layed his molar under his leafy pillow and nodded off to the echo of sweet crickets with the glow of the pale pink moon as his nightlight. The next morning Hairy Winklemenkle awoke to the splashes of his younger sister as she pranced about their pond. "Priscillaaaa!", Hairy beckoned,"please come here this---" Hairy paused midway as he beheld on his leafy pillow the sight of the most handsome olive green wig he had ever seen. Suddenly he had the world at his pleasantly sticky wet finger tips. No more would he spend his days of fly duty with his mind full of worries. His problems had all been solved by the delectable ToothFly who must’ve gifted him this beautiful wig whilst he slept.

The end. (for now...zzZ..zZZ.ZZz...ZzZ)
