Yeah, unmotivation.

So, I haven't posted in like... a week and a day? Well, I haven't been feeling very... up? I've been kinda down, so haven't really felt up to much. Too much stuff happening... My mom is out of town, my youngest sister is being obstinate, I have two weeks of schoolwork due to the ACT last week, my dad's leaving for Florida on Thursday, and my best friend is grounded. That last one is probably the worst... This is kind of sad, my friends are the most important to me. They go above my school, my chores, even my family... The only thing they don't come above is God, but God is God and He has to be at the top.

Okay, I do have a purpose to this post, really!
First, I follow a number of blogs, 21 to be exact, though a lot of those post very rarely, if ever at all. Anyways, I was reading Daneland Fairyland who quotes songs. I saw this and absolutely loved it. So, thanks to them.
"When you have to look away, when you don't know what to say, that's when I love you. I love you, just that way. To hear you stumble when you speak, or see you walk with two left feet. That's when I love you, I love you, endlessly. And when you're mad cause you lost a game, forget I'm waiting in the rain, baby I love you, I love you anyway. 'Cause here's my promise made tonight, you can count on me for life. Cause that's when I love you, when nothing you do could change my mind. The more I learn, the more I love, the more my heart can't get enough. That's when I love you, I love you no matter what. So when you turn to hide your eyes, cause the movie it made you cry, that's when I love you, I love you a little more each time. And when you can't quite match your clothes or when you laugh at your own jokes, that's when I love you, I love you more than you'll know."

Actually, I've been thinking about this. I've been listening to Taylor Swift a lot lately (don't hate me for liking her, please!) and a lot of her songs are about break ups and stuff... If a couple, or best friends, or families fight, usually they get mad at each other and won't talk for a bit. Well, I don't really like that. I mean, if a simple fight can split you, there's not much hope for the relationship to grow, regardless of what kind it is. Something I wish people could do is listen to the other persons argument CALMLY, maybe give a bit of their side, and end with "I still love you." I mean, you love the person, right? How does an argument change that? If there are bunch of fights all strung in a row, then there's probably something you need to figure out.
I don't know. It made a bit more sense when I was thinking about it.

Ahaha, I just found eight steps on "How to Hold Hands." I wonder who doesn't know how to hold hands...
Anyways, what is holding hands? Well, I searched on (yes) Wikipedia, and it says,
"Two or more people voluntarily hold hands for one of the following reasons and purposes:

• in various rituals:
  • handshake
  • in certain religious services, to pray
  • in various religious rituals
• to express friendship or love
• to enjoy physical intimacy (not necessarily of erotic character)
• for emotional support
• to guide (a child, a blind person, in darkness, etc.)
• to urge to follow
• to keep together (in a crowd or in darkness)
• to help the other walk, stand or climb up
• to dance
• to arm wrestle
• when crossing the street
• while sky diving
• to rescue in a dangerous situation:
  • pulling someone to safety"

(Blah, HTML giving me problems... wait... wait.... all fixed!)
Okay, a couple of my favourites: to arm wrestle and while skydiving, haha.
I love holding hands. I usually do so with my dreamboat, Rachel (don't think you want to know) or my friend Michael, who's like a big brother. Usually it's "to express friendship" or "for emotional support." I don't think I've really ever held hands just for the sake of holding hands, though.

Food for thought. Now I'm off to write three flippin' papers that are all due tomorrow. Procrastination is never the answer...but cramming is. :]

Love you all,
