My weekend in pictures

Courtney and I went to Haley's maquerade surprise birthday party! Courtney and I made our masks with help from my sister. I think Courtney's mask turned out better so I will have to post her mask soon when I get those pictures off of Liisa's camera. Can you tell mine is a butterfly?

Jenn, Haley, me, Les, and Dianne. These are girls are as beautiful inside as they are out! I have fun with them and trust them a lot.

Lesley and Haley's masks

I met Claude last December. I haven't seen him in ages! I love how my candy tongue matches his red shirt.

Don't let the sexy look fool you, I have sweaty armpits. Models never have sweaty pits.

Lightening from last night's storm

Sitting at work today like I always do!

The last 24 hours have been exciting:

*Witnessed a baby deer get hit Bambi style by an SUV.
*Watched a neat thunder storm with my friends Jack and Andrew.
*Watched helplessly as a creepy sexual dream about my coworker invaded my mind.

I thought about elaborating on all of these experiences, but no.

This is a website I found which describes the race I will be participating in come November.

A secret about me- I've never felt much like an Amy before. I prefer nicknames like Spaghetti, Muffy, Amelia Bedelia, Amerie, Chipmunk, Blondie, and Chicken nugget queen.

Conversations this week:

Liisa to Amy: I think you're too much woman for him.
Amy to Liisa: I think I'm too much woman for a lot of people.
Liisa to Amy: Which means you're gonna get a whole lotta man!

Amy to Jack and Andrew: You guys coming to the munch and mingle activity after church today?
Andrew to Amy: Yes, I'm a natural mingler.
Jack to Amy: Yes, I'm a natural muncher.

I want to end with a poem I wrote. The date doesn't really matter because the feelings are universal and can apply to many:

I saw you after you saw me. I noticed your eyes looking in my direction. Could have been because of me, but maybe not. I am single and you are not. I could like you, but maybe not. Sweet glances continue and perpetuate the fever bliss. Maybe this bliss will blister. Pin pop the festering emotions and release me. I don't want to sleep, I want to think about you. Perhaps dreams are better in the day so I can remember. I hope you can touch my soul in a way no one can, the way I am seeking. Fire spliting soul touching. Make my passionate youth stop and burn into another flame, the candle you cradle. I want to feel the heat inside.

Amy xoxo

"Up All Night"
by Blink 182

[Verse 1]
Everyone wants to call it, all around our life with a better name.
Everyone falls and spins and gets up again with a friend who does the same.
Everyone lies and cheats their wants and needs and still believes their heart.
And everyone gets the chills the kind that kills, when the pain begins to start.

[Chorus]
Let me get this straight, do you want me here?
As I struggle through each and every year.
And all these demons, they keep me up all night.
They keep me up all night [x2]

[Verse 2]
Everyone’s cross to bears the crown they wear on endless holiday.
Everyone raises kids in a world that changes life to a bitter game.
Everyone works and fights stays up all night to celebrate the day.
And everyone lives to tell the tale of how we die alone some day.

[Chorus]
Let me get this straight, do you want me here?
As I struggle through each and every year.
And all these demons, they keep me up all night.
They keep me up all night [x3]
They keep me up all...

Ps You can nickname me what you like
