Well, not too much happened today, I slept in pretty late (well besides being woke up to that dog barking his head off non-stop at 8am :| )

But I kinda want to take this to talk about my love, Madison.

As I’ve mentioned before, me and Madison met at of camp this year in late of 2009…we saw each for the first time, at two different times…and even from then I sensed something different…something intrigued me about her…I didn’t know what…but I wanted to find out…

So, that night we ended up getting placed on the same team(that’s funny considering of the tons of kids…we got on the same team) and got to know each other…We talked a little here and there…and I just felt that feeling grow…and I liked it…but it confused me…because it felt familiar…but completely new at the same time…and at that time I didn’t know what it was…which if you don’t know now…you will soon enough.

So, at the next lunch thing, I saw her about half way across the room…and we made silly hand gestures and faces back and forth…then I went to do something else, after not doing so in a while…and she was gone…and my heart sulked…and I didn’t really understand why…I mean I knew why…because I was kinda afraid that would be the last time I saw her…but I didn’t understand why I felt like that for someone I verily knew…

But me and a friend named left, and I saw her sitting on the brick sidewalk thing…so we approached her…and proceeded to make smalltalk, talking about from shoes, to the huge balloon making noise behind us. But I liked and enjoyed it, and enjoyed learning even the smallest things about her, and her traits, and her habits. She intrigued me so much…and I didn’t know why.

So, from then on Me, Madison, Nate, and later the next Lacey, all hung out for the remainder of camp…

But before I get ahead of myself…I want to keep going about us…

that following night we went to the main night service in the sanctuary…and during one part of it…Madison grabbed me, and Nate’s hand…and we went to the altar…where we prayed, and was prayed over…but then we sat down…and basically shared our deepest and darkest secrets with one another…and my heart poured out to them both…but especially Madison…once again…I felt that feeling…but mixed with compassion and hurt that was done to her…and I wanted to hug and kiss her and tell her its all going to be better…and I had to stop myself before I did…and I thought it was strange I felt that strongly for someones pain within a few days of knowing them.

Then next day, about mid day…something happened with me and my ex…who was there…fun I know…and pretty much tried to kick me to the dirt, then kick me again…and I took it…and didn’t try to hurt her or retaliate. But later…after she left…it was just the 4 of us…and we talked about it some…and I remember Madison nicknamed her “” and told me I didn’t deserve being treated like that at all. and then the announcement came over the speaker that we had to go to our dorms to do devotionals…and that’s when me and Madison hugged…then she leaned in and kissed me. And I know it was a kiss of “Its going to be better ”. But I couldnt help but feel all bubbly…and different…very different…and I didnt understand it…even telling myself “No…no…it couldn’t be that…I’ve only known her a few days?!”.

So, once we we’re done with that..and met back up with the girls…I acted a bit differently…scared of doing anything under the false pretense of her just giving that kiss as nothing more then a sentimental “It’s going to be okay” and scare, or anger her. But I couldn’t help myself…and eventually I kissed her again, and again, and again. And it felt so….right…which logically made not one bit of sense in my head…at all. I was thinking “No, you’ve known her a few days, you cant love her, and even if so, why would she want to love or be with someone like you? shes way out of your league, and so much a better person then you.” Yes, I know I’m hard on myself lol. But that is how I thought….

But I couldn’t resist being near her, holding her, hugging her, and kissing her…it felt so familiar, so warm, so loving…but yet…so new…so refreshing…so…right.

So, before the evening service we we’re sitting down talking…and she had a heart on my hand….and it said “I <3 you”…literally a “<3″ not “love” ….and I held up my hand and said “Me too”…but she wouldn’t let me get away with just that …she said “What do you mean?”…and I did it again…and she said something like “That’s not what I meant…what do you mean…I want to hear it” basically is what she meant…so…even though logically, I knew I shouldn’t be able to fall in love with someone in less then a week…I did…and I know I did…but I was afraid to say it…afraid of her not feeling the same…or of it being a “camp-fling” or the likes….but I pushed away the brain trying to tell me it cant be…that’s only in movies….and I told her…I said “I love you”…and she said “I love you too Andrew”……and the next question relieved, but scared me…she asked “Do you want it to end at camp?”…I said “No, no I don’t….at all”…and she said “Neither do I” and smiled…and rubbed her hand against mine. :] So from then on we we’re I guess “officially” dating :]

And it was hard those few weeks after camp only talking on the phone…and it still can be…see, she lives 1 1/2hrs away in jacksboro :/ ….but once I got to see her outside of camp…and it was the same warm smile…the same loving, eager eyes to see me…I felt in shock in a way…because somehow…someway…she looked even more beautiful then I remembered…somehow…and I remembered her being the most beautiful thing as it was…but from that second…I knew it was love…and I knew…it was…for real.

And this happened and happens every time I see her again. It’s like I’m looking at an …even more beautiful then the last one somehow….with those same loving, warm eyes…and those compassionate (and delicious) lips :]

So everytime I talk to her, I get to know her more, get to hear her stories, and her mine…and I get to love her more every day…but when I see her…oh…It’s not just that…everytime I see her….I see the purpose of , what it feels like to be loved more then you, or anyone else can love you, what it feels like to enjoy hearing her voice, seeing her eyes, her smile, her love. And to know that it is towards you, and that you are loved by her….it is truly breath taking…and a beautiful thing to have…inside and out…

Just like my love…beautiful inside and out…

Just like…my Madison. *kiss*

Hi there my readers! yes, I’m speaking to all 2 of you. :| hah.

My day was okay today, kinda bland again. I woke up at around 11:30pm from about 10 messages from on IM that I had missed from 8am-11:20am :/ IM ! :[ This keeps happening here lately and I'm sorry my love :/ *kiss*

Anywho, got up, ate some grub, and then got on the computer. Where I did pretty much nothing of use, till Stephanie me, asking if I knew where to learn how to use Photoshop...So after a little while when I was on the pc, I sent her a list of sites for Tutorials, Inspiration, Brushes, and Fonts to help her out :] So that made me feel a little better that my time was actually helping someone maybe…

THEN…*cue theme * !!!!! * roll*……….getting excited yet?…..* roll*……..* crash* MADISON CALLED! :D .

And I talked to her for a good bit o’ time, but she was tired and took a nap while keeping me on the line. So I got on Photoshop and Illustrator :D

Here’s what I made :|

Popped out only the blue :]

Then, once Madison woke up, we talked some more, and she realized it was 6:50pm and I wasnt at , and I told her about how my parents were still gone wherever, and so I didnt have a ride there, which also made me miss Cayli’s birthday party :/ ….anyway, then supper was done, and I let her go, ate, and then called her back.

But she had to do something, I forget what? And made me do my :| haha. So I finished up my Human A&P homework, and was in the middle of revising my “If” paper for class when she called. And she helped me correct it and gave me alot of useful tips and ideas on what to do on the parts I was lost in.

So thanks so so much baby :] You’re a lifesaver *kiss* I lovea you! lol.

And then after I finished up that it was getting late, so I let my love go to bed, and I got up on the pc and starting typing this…man I was really detailed today eh?

Oh well! :D

Well, my started out late…I woke up at 12:30pm :D

Anyway, I pretty much chilled at and talked to my all day up till around 5:30pm when I showered, then left for my , in Denton. When we(Dad, Mom, Hailey[niece], and I) got to the church, I talked to everyone who was there for awhile. Then Cody came to my church about 6:40pm, and we left to go to to practice a song he wrote…

Oh, btw I’m now basically part of 3 bands: My church’s worship team, , and now Cody’s band which has yet to be named :]

Anyway, we got there and UGH…I had to use the electronic already there for this week…and Lord …I forget how much they suck…mehh. But I managed to get through the practice decently, despite having no real dynamics (which caused me to blister my hands horribly because out of habit I play harder to sound louder.), but we got it basically down in the 1hr of practice we had…so that’s good I guess :]

OH! OH! OH! I almost forgot to say!…….Hi. :]

Time for the “Drew’s life” cram session.

Okay, so…It’s been awhile, and there is too much to really cover…so I’ll break this down as much as I can…

First off lets hit the “Relationship” category…so, me and Hattie went downhill fast…she did things already in the past that I had forgave her for, stuff that I didn’t deserve to even happen to me honestly, but I still stayed with her and things we’re looking okay for awhile.
Then, Wham! Things for us starting declining, we started arguing more, especially in the area of her thinking and accusing me of being unfaithful (which will never happen in my book. If I don’t love you, I’ll leave you. Not cheat on you.) when in reality she was again, and I didn’t know.
Anyway, A few weeks before the Assembly of God camp thing I was going to with a AoG church in Denton I go to Sunday nights(when I can) and Wednesdays named Grace Fellowship, She broke up with me.
But she still tried to lead me along and leave me to believe she still loved me, despite the fact she was already all over other men.
And then Saturday before camp I went with my brother to meet up with his ex-wife Angelique to drop off his daughter Hailey for the week, and I started talking to him about going on……and I told him she was doing and saying, he remembered that’s just how his ex-wife would do and/or say.
And it was an eye-opener…I wasn’t sure if I should try to wait and see if she would change or get better, because I tend to be too nice and do that.
Then we got to the meeting point and I got out and talked to Angelique a little…and I realized something. He was right, Hattie was my version of a Angelique in my . But I had an opportunity to end it before we we’re married and I end up married, then divorced to her, and save some pain. My brother unfortunately did not have a chance to do that.
Anyway, that Monday when we were leaving for camp. When I saw her, I let her go completely…and she didn’t let go of me, and that night I met two new friends: Nathan, and Madison.
And instantly I felt a connection with Madison I’d never felt before. I didn’t know what it was, but I didnt want it to leave.
Anyway, over that week, Hattie continued to argue and try to tell me she loved me.
And the more time I spent with Madison, the more I found how much of a fool I was to have ever considered my past “Love”. Because with her, within that week I felt the same, and above the level of compassion and feelings towards her then I did with my exes. So by a few days in we decided to start dating, and this made Hattie furious that she just lost this game of leading me on even though she wasn’t ready to be committed to just me, or really love me.
But, and hopefully this doesn’t sound too cold…but I could care less about Hattie at that point.
All I cared about was listening to Madison talk, and learn more about her, and just take in her inside, and out.
And even though it was an unorthodox way to meet your love, it happened regardless. :] Love you baby *kiss*

psst. this is her :]

Alright! well that’s basically out of the way…basically hah.

Next up is “Life”! :D . So yeah, now I’m a senior in high (woot), I’m madly in love, I’m getting better at drums practically every month I almost feel like (I’m seriously not trying to be cocky, but yeah.), and OH. I have my driver’s license now! WOO! But, I have no car. :|

Oh, and later this next week dad is going to help me put in applications at a few places so I can gets a job! :D

So, as you can see. the biggest chunk of catching up was my whole “Relationship” story hah. there is other stuff I’m prob not thinking of…but I don’t remember at this time…if I do, I’ll just this or make a new entry :]

And…I did it again…

all, I really have had a hectic time…well so where to begin.

ah, well got all my PC junk in…and everything works like  charm :) I’ve played Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, Half life 2: Episode 2, Portal, and many more on high-res and high detail without any skipping or quality loss ;D woo!

hmm, oh…and Hattie my girlfriend had to have foot surgery this last Thursday…it went well but shes in alot of pain off and on between the pain meds lol…

oh, and yeah! now I’m the main drummer on Wednesday nights at First Assembly of God in Denton...unfortunately their pastor resigned 2 Sundays ago and his son happened to be their drummer…so yeah, I cant on Sunday cause I have to at my church…but now I do every Wednesday for them :D so that’s fun and interesting for me…completely different feel then my main church’s worship team and songs…so it makes me stretch my boundaries I guess…

hmm, and DEAR LORD I watched the Watchmen(lol) or WIKI…and dude I loved it! there is only one main difference from the original comic that I noticed plot wise anyway, was ’s story of when he “became completely, and no longer being ” was alot more gruesome…

and beware…you get to see Dr. Manhattan‘s blue shiny thingy(aka his freakin Penis) way too much, and you also get to see a awkwardly long sex scene in the Watchmen’s aircraft with the song “Hallelujah” written by Leonard Cohen (you’ll remember it was on Shrek by John Cale :| )..but despite those things I’d give it a solid 85 out of 100 for sure…definitely worth watching once…maybe not for buying on (least if you have kiddos who can find it )

well hmm, that’s about it for anything out of the ordinary since I’ve last sadly :/

Church, Computers, Push, and Algebra 2…

oops, I forgot to the last few days didn’t I? :O …

Well…hmm Sunday morning was …that was good and I like always had fun playing the Drums :)

Then after that I went over to my oldest brother Brandon’s house to work on building his new computer…and that was a nightmare…ehh…his was old and was a freakin’ board…when most now are or even now E- apparently…and we didn’t know that till we opened it up…we were going to move it to a new case, 2gb of RAM, add a burner, and a 320gb HDD…yeah, none of them worked…case was too small (that freakin was way bigger then it should be), and the HDD and DVD burner was SATA :|

even the RAM which we made sure online would work fine with it…didn’t work :| …want to know why in 4 letters?….…This just adds to the list why I hate computers from major companies…especially …they make it so proprietary you cant upgrade crap…its stupid…they want you to have to buy a new one from them, not just keep a older one updated I guess :|

then yeah, went around 5:40pm and left shortly after for church…Me and by other bro Josh went to my girlfriend Hattie’s church…first time for josh…3rd for me…on Sunday night anywho…and that was good…and Josh seemed to like it there…and I got to see the of my life :) *muah*

then after church Me and Josh went and watched Push with his friends from another church (its kinda funny Hattie goes to First of in Denton…Josh’s friends go to First of God in Krum haha)…

anyway, that was a awesome despite hearing it was lame…to the people who called it lame….you…my friends…are lame hah. It was awesome, Ill say it did have a few cheesy parts…but the fights and just story made up for those parts by far…definitely worth watching again and buying on DVD when its out I’d say for sure :D

eh, then after we got out of that (it was around 12:10am) we went home and crashed…

haha, oh, and yeah…I have class every Monday morning, but yeah, dad decided he apparently didn’t wanna go…so yeah…I missed class cause of his not wanting to :|

and after that stupidity I’ve been up to a whole lot of nothing except my friends :) oh, and Me and Josh might go later (woo)…

so yeah, that concludes this weekend and weekday I guess…hah…
