This Is Me ... 5/13/08

Life is full of drama. If you ask me, there's WAYYY too much of it. So, to help me keep some sanity in my life by venting, I created this blog as a kind of online journal. I don't care who reads it. In all actuality, it doesn't matter if no one reads this. But I always thought that doing an online journal would be really cool, so, here I am!!
I am going to start off by saying one great big "HEY!" to anyone who reads this. Thanks for visiting my blog! And also, I want to share a bit about myself ...
My name is Megan. For safety reasons, I am not going to put in any personably identifiable information, such as my last name. My birthday is December 21st, and this year I will FINALLY be 15 ... I can't wait for this birthday in particular, because I can then start working at the local Chick-Fil-A. My mom is a manager there, and my older sister is employed there too.
I should start out with the most important fact for me ... I am a devout Christian girl. I am sorry if you have a problem with that, but that's the way that I am. I am not offended by any other religions. I just believe what I believe.
I'm the middle girl. Most people say that that's the worst place to be. But for me, it's absolutely perfect. (On most days anyways ...) My older sister Renee is 17 years old, and my younger sister Hannah is 9. We're REAL close, which is a surprise for most people, who don't really get along with their siblings. I think it's because we love each other too much, that, when we fight, we can't stay away for very long. I believe that if people would just take the time to sit and at least talk out the problem they have with the person they have a problem with, it could change a lot. People would have a better understanding of each other then, and it would save us a lot of stress and tears.
I love my life sometimes. Other times, I wish that I didn't exist. This day is the day that I half love my life, half hate it. But one thing that I can say about life is that no matter what, you always have something to smile about. I've been trying to convince myself of that for years, and believe me, it's worked!
I know everyone says this, but I have the best friends in the world. I suppose that I should tell you their names so that you don't get confused in later posts ... there's Sam (as in Samuel, not Samantha), Lindsay, Rachel (W), other Rachel (C), Jeremy, and Michael. They're all UBER COOL, and I love them to death.
Hmm .... what else .... ahh yess! I am a writer ... I write novels, songs, and poetry. If there's one thing that never fails to make me feel better, it's reading a good book, or listening to a really great song, or reading some relaxing poetry. And if there's one thing that I feel is the very outer core (God being the actual core) of my world, it's music. My dream is to become a singer someday ... once I turn 16 and start driving (and once I get good at it of course!!) I'll start really putting myself out there for singing. I am currently learning to play guitar, and I play piano pretty well. I am praying that someday I'll be successful, go to Hollywood maybe, record a CD ... and meet my absolute favorite star, Mitchel Musso. Hehehe ...
You probably wouldn't be able to tell from this post in particular, but I'm pretty random! Renee says that I'm in the family comedy business, and I've been in it for 14 years now. I like the fact that I can keep people laughing, even when they don't want to laugh, which is very often.
But it's not always fun and games here. I live in Virginia ... me and my family relocated from Pennsylvania about 4 years ago. It feels like forever though. And as much as I love it here, sometimes I even get homesick. And trust me on this one, I HATED living in PA ... a place where everyone knew your name, but no one wanted to actually KNOW you.
My Sunday Night Bible Study teacher is currently teaching us about how we were created with the longing for a close, personal relationship with others. We want people to know us and to understand us more than anything. When someone comes into our lives and wants to really know us, it's called a "two-way street" ... as well as that person meeting you there, you've gotta meet them too. Growing up, I had no two-way street. In fact, I had what I like to call a road block. I lived deprived of a more than fine relationship until we moved to VA.
But even at that, some things never change, as, in time, you will see ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right now my mom and Renee are at a funeral for a girl that Renee knew. I had never met her before, and yet, I'm so sad for her family. I guess that's what happens when you care about more than yourself.
Today hasn't been so bad. I mean, it would be better had Hannah not pulled some stuff on me this afternoon ... I mean, maybe it's mean of me to say, but what actually gives her the right to go snooping through my journals and stuff anyways?? I think that's part of the reason why I made this blog ... this is one journal she might never get to read. That's the beauty of it ... I can literally say anything I'm feeling without the guilt that usually follows!
It's MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGICAL!!!!

Hannah just came in and told me that she fell of her bike. Nothing serious, just a couple scrapes. Those don't faze her ... Hannah's one tough cookie. Unlike me ... I cry when I get a papercut (What?!?! They hurt a lot!!! ;). She's been falling a lot lately ... hmm I'd better pray for her.

Well, I suppose that wraps up my first post ... boring, I know ... but trust me on this one, it will get ... uh ... better isn't the right word .........

PEACE OUT Y'ALL!
