If I could correct the wrong...

Attention world... HE is going to school with me.

I don't go to school with him.

If I hear the shore...

Tomorrow will be two weeks the last time I saw my home.

If this is a good thing...

I really miss home. Currently I am talking to my mother through via webchat and I'm crying my eyes out. totally caught me by surprise and... down came Niagara Falls. They are saying that though I am feeling like this now... I'll adjust faster. LIES. LI is the territory I belong in...EM is my HOME.

If you stand by me, through the wind and the willow...

Terribly homesick I must say. I've been homesick... and feel like I will always be homesick... until I get home. I get all... weepy when I speak to the parentals and Zena. Today... we webchatted. It was pretty sweet. <3 The whole adjusting thin is a a major killer. At least people here are very nice and I'm enjoying their company. I just... want to be home... for the most part.

If I scream and shout...

It has been fustrating. First off... I am aware that it is definitely passed 2am... AND I have to be up by 7am. That sounds wonderful, doesn't it?
Anyways. So after the fabulous two day switcheroo... we go to Atlantic City. Doesn't sounds SO bad though... does it? If you are thinking that... you are one hundred BILLION percent wrong. It was rainy AND there was lightening and thunder. It was dangerous beyond belief. Definitely sounds fun, yes?
That was... Sunday.
Then Monday... we decide "let's go to the city". Totally fine. We went ont the Circle Line. That was fine... and had dinner at Curry in a Hurry (love it. =]). Okay... so I gave you the beginning and the end... not the middle.
So in the middle... after the Circle Line... we walk around the city. So... som street people are handing out flyers to a free event... sounds very City-ish, yes? Obvz. So... naturally... the sib. picks up a flyer and shows it to my mom. Now... they both are exceedingly excited... WOOHOO. Then... mother tells father... who tells uncle and cousin. Oh boy. At any rate... I see the flyer and IMMEDIATELY... before anything I see the word "church". I have nothing against that word or place of santuation... but I am not a frequent attender. So I pause for a moment and ask my sib and mother if they know what kind of event this is. And of course, Z replies by saying "a free one". No kidding. So... I elaborate... "is it a dance? Singing? A play? Preaching?" No one knows, however, we still go to it. Throughout the walk to the place... I'm thinking "oh geez... this isn't going to be good. We're going to walk out..." and I told mother my thoughts and that I would stay out if it's a preaching event. I don't get along with people who preach religion to me. It's not that I don't respect religion... it's just... I don't want people make themselves sound like they are thrusting beliefs that I don't believe... therefore... if there is a He or She out there... that entity should remember that "thou shall not lie". So we walk into the theatre... and throughout the hallway... I see words that say "Lord" and "He" and "Minister" and "Pastor" and "Church" and "Praise". Major uh-oh. So... we get to our seats and I turn to mother and say "so... do you know what we are in for?" and mother replies, "no". So I decided to break the ice and say "it's a worship concert." Ohhhhh! So... Z and mom have no problem. And so, mom told dad... who told uncle... who told cousin. Wow. News spreads fast in this family. So... the seating arrangements: Athena, Z, Mom, Dad, Uncle, Cousin. Athena gets to sit next to a religious fellow. Nice... friendly... seems very loyal to his faith. Good guy. He has a video camera and turns to me and asks me if I would answers some questions. Seems harmless... right? Kinda. I got a kick out it really. I'm such a bitch in my head... but I remained... calm and sweet. After all... he was a guy with a video camera. Didn't want to hurt his or the fellow watchers' feelings.
At any rate... 5 seconds after the music started... we walked out. This has to be the BIGGEST and MOST satisfying "I TOLD YOU SO" I could ever think of. I totally pwned. =]

I can definitely sleep in peace now that that is written.

If I asked you to stay...

Operation Room Switch: success. =]
Finally... after HOURS... the whole room switch with the sibling is finished. <3

At any rate... went to Lauren's going away party. It was loads of fun. =] I wish all the college-bound people best wishes.

I'm exhausted and my body aches. And it's quite late...very... oh so very late.

If the sun shines down upon me...

I found my camera battery. =] I can hear the bells and angels sing. <3

If there are no clouds to dampen the day...

I think this moment calls for a ">.<".

If you shimmer in the spotlight...

Hmmm... I can't find my camera battery. Not good.

If I fall away...

Day TWO.
It's 11 minutes to noon and I still haven't really started the shelves switching.
So very tired.

If I thought otherwise...

So... before I forget...
If I have a daughter...
I like the names Arabella and Annabella. Though I do like the name Adabella. However... I am becoming more partial to Arabella. It's pretty and strong..."beautiful lion". There's a... postive and ambitious image. I like it.

If I did know...

It's almost three in the morning and I am exhausted beyong belief. I have been switching rooms with my sister. It's been a long... not going to lie... my body is in quite a lot of pain. And I'm typing... Vanessa Anne Hudgens is on the tellie... dancing for a Sears commercial on N. She's kinda everywhere... like Miley Cyrus. Oh Disney. Whatever happened to the simple Disney stuff?
At any rate... tomorrow... or rather... in the daylight hours[!!!], there will be some more "moving" and Z and I need to switch shelves. Hopefully I'll be up by 10 and then finish by... hopefully by 2. Earlier would be nice... but... I'll give Z and myself that 4 hour time frame. Sounds logical.
I should head into bed. It's... early. Heh. Yeah... not really.

If you could hold me close and stay...

I wonder why I've been so focused on... relationships. I am certain it's because... it's been so long since I... well... have been part of that real unrealistic feeling. Maybe I just... miss it.

So! I'm off to Staples. Need some school supplies. Shall update later.

If I could, I am...

It has been a very, very long and stressful day. Very stressful.
I've gone through loans, shopping, yelling, screaming, confusion, fustration, sleepiness, packing, bruising, moving, everything.

At least I have Saturday to look forward to.

If I could dream dreamless nights...

Perhaps I am lonely?

If the lion fell in love...

If I have a child and the child is a son... I'll name his Edward Bae-kho [*last name here*] or Aiden Bae-kho [*last name here*].
If I have a daughter... I'll name her Adabella Sae-Byuk [*last name here*].

If I make myself content...

So... where to begin?
Yesterday (8.3.08)- I had a surprise birthday/congrats party. It was... truly a surprise. renita gace me a sweet journal (and other college survivals). It was really sweet. She's always been like a sister. I'm going to miss her a helluva lot. She's the confidant I rely on way too much. Jess (aka the Mossy Ploofinator) gave me the most touching present ever. And it was a dvd that I have been watching over and over again. She really is something. I can't believe after 6 years... we're just... heading off to college. Now the whole college feeling is hitting me...wonderful. Overall... yesterday... was... magical. As cheesy as that sounds... it really was.
At any rate... today... was a complete 180. First off... poor Jill. She's in the hospital. I hope she get better asap. Really. She and I have so much to do for UB. Please God. Just help her. Please.
In addition... the parentals. LOVE them dearly... however... honestly. Dad is always making a fuss when I want to go hang out with people. I don't understand! I NEVER hang out with people during the school year and I haven't hung out with people in large amounts until this summer. That's it! And chances are... majority of the people I am hanging out with this summer... are not going to be the same ones I hang out with next summer. What on EARTH?Ugh, by jingos. BY JINGOS. Grrr.
On the plus side... I have been reading Breaking Dawn and I love it... although I am quite fustrated.
ALSO! Breaking news!!! JK ROWLING HAS A NEW BOOK COMING OUT ABOUT BEEDLE THE BARD!!! <3>The Tales of Beedle the Bard and it comes out December 4th, 2008. VERY exciting.

If the pigeon doesn't know how to poop...

Scott is here.

If I could spread my wings and fly...

So I figures out how to post an entry without actually going to the website and sticking with the blogger widget. Kicks arse. =]
So I was at Jess's house last night after Billy's party. It was fun. I had a blast at both. And then today we visited Russ. Such a sweetheart. And then we hung out with people for Kelly's birthday. So mcuh FUN. <3 Loveeed it. It was a nice... mini break.
And so. Today is August 1st... meaning in 23 hours and 30 minutes and 30 seconds (from this moment)...Breaking Dawn will be out. I am so excited. <3
Finally things are turning around for the summer. I'm enjoying it and that's what should matter.
Also. It's my birthday in 2 weeks. Jingos.
