"All who live to see difficult times wish they had never had them, but it is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us"
- Lord of the Rings

I guess this is true, I know the next year won't be too easy. Then again I also know that if its going to be on the trend my life has been on, it will be intresting to say the least.

Off the normal subject I've been talking about lately (friends and life being retarded) Our a/c is fixed!! A couple days ago it ate shit, don't ask me why I didn't talk to the guy that came to fix it- but I've been dying at night. During the day it isn't that bad, but at night I like to snuggle under my blanket- when it is 75 out and your under a down blanket it gets somewhat hot under there.

It's fixed and I'm happy.

" allow me to say these words:
I thank you for your kindness. I thank you for loving me. I thank you for letting me love you.

My love may know no bounds before but I do know now...I could've loved you more, you know.
"It's not about understanding...it's about not giving up...."

I wished you said this to me instead rather than me trying to understand with all of my might. But then again...
when you gave up...there was no point in understanding.

'nuf said...love has its way of proving its worth. All I wished for was your heart...but maybe too soon.
And I am sorry that I can't be what your heart was yearning. I am truly sorry but I have loved you...with all of my heart, soul, and mind.

I hope your dreams do come true...I'm sorry for loving you so much."

http://angstsandjoys.blogspot.com/ <-- good site. Got me to figure out what needed to be said to the person from the previous post.

Could it be any harder to say goodbye and without you,
Could it be any harder to watch you go, to face what's true
If I only had one more day
I lie down and blind myself with laughter
A quick fix of hope is what I'm needing
And now i wish that i could turn back the hours
But i know i just don't have the power
-The Calling

I used to have a "Dear Viewers" section before I redesigned my site. It mainly said I will not trash my step-dad's company etc etc. I would keep that "trash" to myself, in real time. Now here is a question, am I a hyprocrite if I trash someone without using names? Maybe and I'm sorry for that one, but I must get something off my mind so I can sleep atleast 3 hours tonight.

I've complained before, saying I don't know what to do with a certain friendship. I hate letting people down ya know? I think most people aren't comfortable with that thought, I know I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that doesn't mind it. At the same time I don't think I can let myself be in a heartbreaking cycle as I always seem to get myself into. It was a good friendship, the beginning was so rare and amazing. Then the heartache, arguements over nothing and misunderstanding began. Don't take all this wrong- it was an amazing friendship. That word though, was, I don't know where it all went wrong. I didn't have enough time, or I wanted too much time from her- I couldn't find a solid middle ground.

I have come to think in the past week maybe it was all my fault. No. I truely believe that it is my fault this friendship didn't work. I can't help why it didn't though. It is who I am. I don't act my age, I haven't since I was 4 years old. I expect more from my friendships, because I give more to them. I'm too mature for my age, so when I find a friendship that at my age should be perfect I can have no part in it. We laughed, we cried, we had our deep conversations, and random blabbling at 3am. Now we have to say goodbye until we both want the same thing, until we find that middle ground.

I am sorry I wasn't all you needed, I'm not the one to call your friend for all times.

This is a really random thought- but I've been downloading the Blue Crush soundtrack. There is a song- Cruel Summer. That doesn't follow the plot of the movie at all, the time in the movie is February- that def. isn't summer. I'm also downloading, a crap load of Radio Head, the Vanilla Sky soundtrack and... are you sitting? Over 50 Disney songs. Yes, you read write- I am downloading Disney songs, everything from Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz, to the newbies such as Mulan. You can breathe now, I know the shocker. But anyways, it's DISNEY, you can't go wrong with that.

Tomorrow I believe I am waking up at 330 AM to goto the beach one last time for the summer with Kristin before she leaves for college Friday.
I know this wasn't a long post but I really need sleep.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world."
Buddha

I am always getting harrased by some friend or another for thinking too much. Everytime my reply is "that is who I am, I can't change it." I've changed what my major may be 3 times in the past 2 months- prior to that I knew what I wanted all through out high school. I'm really not fully sure why, I think I have changed alot this summer.

This whole "thought" thought came off of what all happened this summer. I met some great friends:: Malone; Kristin; Travis, and prolly another handful. I got burnt a few good times, went to the beach, spent a buttload of money on who knows what, saw some really great movies (The Signs, Gia, The Hobbit) I also was hurt alot this summer, losing Anands friendship over something stupid (I did try to talk to him yesterday), confusing start with Kristin, killing my shoulder, losing a great friend.
I changed alot this summer, I now know who I am, and my strengths- I have new limits from being pushed so far. I have better realization of what I want from life. Don't take that wrong, I don't know exactly what I want but I don't think anyone does until they have it and have experienced it. All in all I realized that I am me, Arleigh Jenkins and no one can change that.

I added words to the site- mostly my poetry from this summer.

Here's a dumb question, but who randomly decides to trot along from Severna Park to the end of Rt2? Sorry guys, but sometimes I just don't know where I am coming up with my reasoning.
My weekend was good, very relaxing- something I needed. That was up until this morning finding out some guy that was at Kristen's house last night drinking fell out a window at USNA and died. The three roomies are def. worried about it coming back at them, and Lauren (Kristen's bestfriend) is pretty messed up seeing it was her boyfriends bestfriend.

Nothing else really happened this weekend, had some sushi and some TGIF. Ran a shit load, tired as hell now.

Ok, when I come up with blabbin about I'll share- until then ciao.
