excited, sarcasm, annoyed, optimistic, confused...

Can these words all be in a title together? No way Jose. How can one express themselves over the computer? It just doesn't happen. The person on the other side reading what your writing doesn't know what emotion you're trying to convey. To make it easier for people I guess at the beginning of a sentence, paragraph, etc., I'm going to put in parenthesis the emotion intended for how it is to be read. So are you ready?
(excited) Brandon got a nice bonus for Christmas so now we can remodel the bathroom. I will be glad when it's finished. (optimistic) I think it will be completed by February. (annoyed and frustrated) Then again, Brandon works a lot and when he is home, he's home late and on Saturdays there is always something planned. (sarcastic) Oh well, I suppose he'll just have to deal with me doing the renovating. I can't wait to see how it's going to turn out.
So did my 'parenthesis emotions' help you better understand? I sure hope so, I don't want to confuse anybody. And by the way, I hope you used sarcasm for this entire blog. :)

good friends



You know, good friends are difficult to come by these days. After we graduate from high school, most of us go our seperate ways, whether it's moving away, going to college, getting married, or whatever other options there are. The people that became my best friends in my childhood are the ones I wish I would've hung out with more in high school. But it's never too late to get to know them more. My best friend in high school and college turned out not to be my best friend after all...sad, I know. Many people along the way have shown me what true friendship really is. It is being there for each other when the times get sucky, doing stuff for each other you normally wouldn't do for anyone else, telling each other the truth all the time, and many more things I can't think of right now. I am pleased to say that I do have friends like that. I hope they can say the same about me. :) Tonight, after talking with a close friend and reading her blogs, I realized how alike we really are. We share a struggle and we both look at this struggle the same way, feelings and all (and have a difficult time accepting it), and try to handle it the same with by putting in the hands of the Lord. What she doesn't know is that, she is what friendship is all about. Everytime I was negative about our common problem she was there with something positive to lift my spirits. She is truly an awesome friend. I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me and whatever that plan is, I know I'll always have a friend to share a part of it with.
