I've been traveling for so long
So lost 'til I stumbled upon
Two roads in front of me
I had to take my time

To the right I could see a church
I took a step in that direction first
But to the left there was a watering hole where they were whiskey drunk and now thats were I wanna pray!

The fight down here goes on and on

If I was perfect, then this would be easy
Either road is plausible
On both I could drown
I walk through the center, with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult
But now I can see

There's gotta be another way to go
A way that's much more feasible
A combination of all these lies
A central path without choosing a side

I make decisions one at a time
And no I never say I'm always right
I'm confident that when I stand on my own, you'll see the truest form of a man
When I'm shining through

The fight down here goes on and on

If I was perfect, then this would be easy
Either road is plausible
On both I could drown
I walk through the center, with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult
But now I can see

Oh, I hear them now
All the religous rhythms
(You're all sin-)
(You're all sin-)
(You're all sinners!)

The left isn't better it's just more of the same
Condemning all these people for what they believe
I'll climb to the top of the mountain again
No harm is done to see me this way
And the closer to the top I get the more they take aim
But I'm not you

I may not be perfect, but I've always been true
I may not be worthy in your eyes
Climb up from the bottom for the last time
The last one
The last one
The last time

If I was perfect, then this would be easy
Either road is plausible
On both I could drown
I walk through the center, with no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult
But now I can see

God, I love Avenged Sevenfold. Crossroads (Lyrics above) is my favorite song again for now.

Anywho. I'm going to sit down here and babble for a while and tell y'all when I'm not doing much any more 'round here.

One, I've got school. My English teacher has decided that she is going to load us with work with like, 2 weeks left of school. This displeases me, especially since my other classes have decided they should, too! How bloody lovely. -_- So, as of today, I have a paper due over women's rights Tuesday, study for the English final exam, learn about the digestive system and all the terms associated with it as well as the circulatory system and respiratory system by tomorrow for a test, prepare for THAT final exam, and manage to juggle in two other final exams. XP Fun, right?

Next on the list shall be family. My grandma's currently very sick. Her lungs are really bad, like a smoker's, regardless of the fact she's NEVER smoked, and she's got pneumonia. So I keep having to travel to the east part of the state to visit her. Which then leaves me with LESS time for work. But what bothers me is that her doctors are morons. One day, they say she's dying. So we rush up there to see her. We get there the next day and "Oh, she's not dying. Sorry." But she's fine. Really. They're just incapable of telling us something accurate, it seems. But what really bothers me is my grandma herself. She called yesterday and said, "Well, can you come drop by tomorrow? For a quick visit?" QUICK VISIT? It's at least a three hour frickin' trip! There's no such thing as a 'quick visit'!
...
But I'm not mad at her. I get that she's scared about dying and everything. It's just that to me, she's selfish in this situation. (ACtually, a lot of this is what my dad says frequently says. I'm just finally believing the man. Probably shoulda done that sooner.)

Then there are my other various projects. I don't wanna babbly about those, though, really.

All the while, I'm balancing friends, writing, and finding time to even scream. (I'm really hurting myself by writing this thing. Oh well. Y'all have a right to know what's up.)

So obviously, things are being chopped from the list. The first to go was writing, which really bothers me. It's one of the things I can say I'm genuinely good at, and I'm struggling to find the time to squeeze it in. You can see how that's working out. I haven't even STARTED chapter four, but I do have ideas swimming around in my head, screaming to be put on paper. I'll get back on track this summer, though.

I've also basically sacrificed the internet other than checking my e-mail and what's needed for school. I may swing by here once and a while, but it's very limited. Respond to a comment or two, but that's really it.

Rootbeerbubbledoom, sorry I've had to basically quit betaing for ya. If I do go out east this weekend (which I think I am), I'll take what you've sent me thus far and really get to work with that. Thanks for being so patient with me, I know you're itching to get back what you've sent.

...

I think that's it. Later amigos and amigas!
