So I've met someone.
Taboo.
Of course, but when is it not?
We're not together; we're not even 'talking.'
Whatever that means....
Hours of talking.
Hours of laughing.
Hours of sharing life stories.
Wondering.
Thinking.
Reflecting.
I have never been challenged to think this way.
I sit in awe.
Amazed.
Because it's amazing.
Whatever that means...
The smile.
The laugh.
The stories.
The answer to the question: What are you thinking?
You.
Me.
Me and you.
Man, I'm falling.
Hard.
But I can't.
But I want to.
What am I falling into?
Concrete? Grass? A big ball of cotton?
I want to fall.
But I can't
Taboo.
Of course.
Does it matter?
In this circumstance, yes.
And you know.
And it's not that.
It's something else.
And of course, this happens to me.
Should I fall and I hope to land in the ball of cotton?
The comfort.
The smile.
Oh, the smile.
It's the tingly feeling.
Or will I land hard on the concrete and just lay there hurt.
I don't want to hurt.
But I really don't know what I want right now.
Because it is.
Taboo.

I Don't Wanna be a Chicken or a Duck... Just a Butt
It has become a common oocurence that I post blogs months in between each other. I apologize to my fans, and dedicate this blog to all of you. (Especially Diany who reminded me to write a blog during our several hour conversation while I was at work today)
February 23rd was the last day I wrote. Almost four months later I find myself at the front end of the summer, in College Station, being really content with summer thus far. I love summertime, and thinking back to last summer, I am glad things happen the way they do. But it's the end of my second year of college. Once again, I sit here in shock, thinking about how fast time has gone by. Two years ago at this time, I was in Upward Bound at UNT, having a great time, and not knowing what I would be going through in a few short months. I guess in a way I am in the same situation. I have no idea what will happen this fall, except for that it will be my hardest semester yet, not academically, but mentally.
I went home for about a week after Spring classes. My sister graduated. Yea, it was crazy. I saw some old friends....some who I miss....others whose names I had already forgotten.
Updates:
I ran for class Vice President. I lost. I was disappointed because a lot of people helped me, and put a lot of time and effort into my campaign, which was a success, and people still remember me for it. My running partners and I sang a version of "Dick in a Box" that we made up. Basically, it was called "Put Your Check in Our Box." It was a hit and we sang it to hundreds of students. It was a very close election, especially for going against the incumbent, but I lost, and now I am very happy that I lost...you'll see why.
I also applied for Corps Sergeant Major and 1st Sergeant for B Company. I didn't even get an interview for Corps Sergeant Major, but I made 1st Sergeant for B Company, so I am going to be super busy next year. I am very proud of this position and I am really excited about setting a precedent for the years to come. This position is the reason this year is going to be so hard. I am ready...I think. We'll see how it goes....
I applied to be on MEDALS Exec Staff again....instead of getting the position I wanted (Director of Programs) I got sort of a promotion: Associate Director...which is basically the VP for MEDALS. Just something else to add to the busyness....
I also made Fish Camp Counselor. I am the proudest member of Session B-Blue, Camp Schloss!! Fish Camp is probably the thing I am looking forward to the most this summer. I can't wait. Our camp is August 6-9 in Palestine, Texas!!
I have a job now. I work at the Aggieland Visitor Center on campus, and I love it! I give tours of campus, and meet a lot of cool people. When we aren't busy we look up funny videos or other random crap on the internet.
I am living in the dorms here on campus. I live alone, so thats kinda cool. It is really convenient, because I am still doing Corps stuff, recruting and such, I work on campus, and my classes are here, so I don't have to drive anywhere. It's peaceful and really cool to leave 5 minutes before work starts.
I like numbers, so here's a few:
2 Weeks (16 Days) until my 20th Birthday!
5 Weeks until the new Harry Potter movie comes out!
6 Weeks until my little sister turns 18 :o
10 Weeks unitl FISH CAMP '07!!
11 Weeks until I meet the B Company Class of 2011
13 Weeks until I can order my Aggie Ring!
13 Weeks until the first week of Fall Classes
14 Weeks until the 1st Aggie Football game of the 2007 Season!
15 Weeks until my little brother turns 16!
23 Weeks UNTIL I GET MY AGGIE RING!!!! WHOOOOOOP! November 16th!! (I also get my Senior Boots around this time)
So, as you can see my life is full of excitement right now. Being 1st Sergeant of the best outfit on the Quad...Fish Camp....MEDALS....I have had job offers already....and I get my Aggie Ring in November!! WHOOP!!
After this month I will officially be a Sociology and Communications double major with a Spanish minor. It's crazy, but I have already been told to consider two high schools after graduation to be an assistant principal. They would pay for me to get my Master's so I could eventually have my own school, and then hopefully be the superintendent of an entire district. That's where it looks like I am heading now. I guess I should've know. Education has always been my calling, but that doesn't mean that that is all I can do. Everyone knows I still have a lot of plans for my life. Service is still an option whether it be in the military or in the Peace Corps. My scholarship, in its second year, didn't go as well as I thought it would. I didn't get as many applications as I hoped, so I am changing it for next year. I am finding differet sponsors, I am opening it to more areas, and I am targeting Hispanics who plan on coming to A&M in the Fall of 2008. The reasoning for this is that I not only want to help other Hispanics to get funding for college, but I want to help them fund their education at the same place that has given so much to me. I will be sending application out earlier as well, so make Hispanics think about A&M, earlier in the fall semester, so they have time to apply. I think it's a good plan.
As for my title of this blog....a "butt" is a nickname for a Junior in the Corps. So yes, I am a butt :)
I hope everyone's summer is off to a good start. This blog is a bunch a randomness and rambling, but its a blog. No promises on another one soon.
Have an awesome afternoon.
