I present to thee, Jude Tyler Clemmons. My new nephew, first one, born Sunday the 19th of this October month at the hour of 12:35pm. Big occassion since I never even thought my older sister would spawn. As many of you know i'm a bit peeved by the name Jude, since that of course is what I wanted to name my kid,*since of course I'm a HUGE MEGA Beatles Nerd* if hypothetically I ever had a said kid, but totally not the point they knew I wanted it and named him that anyway... grumblecakes... BUT I love him to death and he's even cuter and even more frightened by the camera that as it looks in this picture. I've told them I'm naming my kid Jude anyway, so I win. He was 7 ibs, 9 ounces, the measurements I don't remember, but no point really it makes him sound like they just caught a fish anyway. I know what your thinking, Why the crap does he have MSU beanie on, as though i must support msu I guess since I live in the state *not voluntarily* your right he should have a Tennessee Volunteers beanie on, never fear we are getting him one as soon as we find one, so you can all breathe a big sigh of relief. Now off to go an be some what productive being at work, and of course studying for audiology since I have not 1 but 2 tests next week and still am not able to watch freakin' Children of Dune! argh....

Hey Kids!!!!,
Yes, it moi, zee Kendra! So much to post aboot! I started school yet again. *woot, and boo* :
Mon/Wed/Friday 9-9:50 English Literature 2
11-11:50 Language Disorders
Mon/Wed 12:30-1:45 Yoga *ouchies*
Tu/Th 8:00-9:15 Basic Clinic
9:30-10:45 Diagnostics
12:30-1:45 Intro. to Audiology
I'm pretty happy with my schedule this semester. "Supposedly" Intro to Audiology is my only difficult class. We shalt see. My little sis is going to the same college as me this semester, which has acctually been better than expected. She's acting more, erm, "normal" is probaly the best way I can put it. She has a lot of problems with her schedule, but got them all figured out and is now taking 2 art classes. I'm pretty excited for her, this is her passion, and I know she'll rawk at whatever she does.
I also started a bible study every Tuesday called 7:33. The youth minister told a story about someone a girl I knew who was kind of one of those popular/fake/ i still have memories of her when we were in high school who would go smoking and drinking and who knows what else. He started talking about how God lead him to talk to her but he didn't, and he regretted it until the one day that he saw her again, and when he did talk to her again she had already been gloriously saved. Now when he first said her name, in my head I was thinking, " O! It's just her, well she's done that before, she probaly hasn't changed at all." But then I started thinking about what I just said to myself, and realized, why couldn't I give her a benefit of a doubt?!?! If God saved me, why couldn't he save someone else? Why couldn't I believe that someone could change? So I'm working on the belief that other people can change, of course I know why I thought that. I've grown up with a very close friend who got BADD into drugs, and he kept telling me over and over, O he's done, he's quit, he won't do that again. Only for me to yet again be dissappointed because he really hasn't changed anything about his life. But we all suffer from that. It just made me realize once again how much God can really change someone. Sorry for that rant. Just thought I'd share since it's bee so flippin' long since I posted.
O! and I saved a kitty from the side of the road. The kitty had a bad wound on her neck and when I opened my cat carrier, the kitty crawled in on its side, sideways. We gave it a comfortable, one night stay at our house and then took it to the humane society the next day. I hope that can help the kitty and give it a nice home. (and if they don't I"m gonna go down there and kick somebody.....) *cough*
I got everything worked out today with my teachers about my families upcoming trip to the Florida Keys Sept.7-14th. * I iz SOOOOO CITED!!!* I haven't been there since I was 15. I can't wait to get sun burned because of snorkeling and scuba diving all day with the fishies!!!! And of course Mom is going to get the smart machines for the business the week we're gone.*Have Fun Pregnant Dana! *
Hope everybody has a lovely week.
Remember Keep Smiling!

| Cries of the Righteous Heart |

The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as to be of a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflications of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
The Lord reedmeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

Be in prayer for my family. We are going through a really really rough time right now. Today was already a really rough day for me, totally bombed an open notebook test, or I'm pretty sure I did, bumped my head I can't tell you how many times, have an exam tomorrow, and because I bombed the other one I of course am panicking about this one... Bomb finally dropped when I got home tonight. My parents have been going through a constant battle of selling Curves or not. Curves at this moment is $40,000 in the hole. We have never owned a business before, and would have been fine if it weren't for certain credit cards and late payments that we thought we payed. The ladies love it, I love it. They really are good businesses to have, but how we're we supposed to know that tons of competition would come into town. My mother was convinced that the smart machines* state of the art equipment that no other fitness anything has* would save Curves, and us. I didn't know this, none of the family did, but my mother decided to spend the down payment of about $1000 for the smart equipment out of the family funds without the father's approval. I can understand why she did it though. Through talks of money of any kind, my father does the same thing, yells at mom and tells her it's her fault about everything and goes in his room and doesn't say a word to her for days. Because of this, for the past few years anything having to do with money, be it a bounced check or worse, mom hides it from dad. I don't want to act like I'm choosing sides, my dad has to be hurting too. Dad is not one to talk to it about anyone. Mom has the daughters. Dad has no one, becase he's always chosen that. I don't know what to do. Mom has already set up her bed in my room. I'm scared to death, I don't know what's gonna happen. God help us. I'm hoping that comfort will come in the morning.

Tangerine Dream- Loved by the Sun |
] |
First of all may I say that the Directors Cut for Legend sucks, compared to the Tangerine Dream version.
Second, I'm in a pickle.... Earlier today my friend Ellenora didn't have anyone to share a dorm with, I've wanted to be in the dorms to move out of my house for awhile, and who better than someone I know and is in most of my classes? I asked my mom, and she said I could, so long as I can get everything worked out. Well I thought everything was, all I had to do from my end was fill out an application form and give them $100 down payment. I swear my mother said she would take the pookie to school in the mornings, but then found out mom couldn't... So Kacie either has to get her lisense... or get in a dorm, both options looking plenty slim. My father, who I thought would be all for it, is totally againist it, saying that it's a waste of money since I live so close to the school anyway. Which I could understand, but he doesn't understand my need of living on my own. Not to mention I dont' want to be responsible for getting Kacie to class on time, or the fear that she'll make me late. I hate the end of this week to decide, if I'm gonna get a dorm anyway, or if I'm just gonna forget the whole mess and stay at home with my family who gives me no rest. and be in prayer for my test and exam this week... arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Today has been sort of unproductive. But very much needed. I have till Thursday and then I'm finally off for my "summer," which will consist of almost 2 weeks. As Kacie and I were bored today, we got a call and very pregnant Dana came over! We were supposed to swim but it stormed today, so the rest of the family just sat around and watch the 2nd Season of the Muppet Show all flippin' day... * and it's still on in the background as a matter o' fact* And later we're gonna watch Legend, the extended version! It's just lovely to have a nice family day. Dana decided to give the dog, Zero, ANOTHER squeaker toy to help the dog annoy me when Dana isn't here to do it. And exciting news of the day, I finally got to feel the baby kick!!!!

I remember me sitting in my little, yellow lifeguard chair that I sat beside you every morning and throughout the day, while you read the paper. Our fun times in the basement when you let me paint and hammer random pieces of wood together, when you made me a finger puppet theater, and when you made me my wonderful cardboard barbie house. Us playing games together, like Monopoly and Crazy Eight's * my favorite card game because it was the game we played.* You had the biggest vegetable garden i've ever seen and you had the best red tomatoes i've ever tasted and you loved cantaloupe*yuck* and watermelon *which you would bring to every family occasion*. I remember you would call me "Sweetie Pie." How it was so easy to make you laugh so hard till you were red in the face and how Kacie and I would tease you about chasing after younger ladies. You would always take me somewhere out to eat and to the mall every time I came and visited and we would walk all around the mall and sit with your buddies and you would say " This is my Grandaughter." How you danced with me at Michelle's wedding and I've never seen you smile so big. I remember how you always wanted a Mercedes. I remember your favorite story in the world to tell, when you met Grandma. You thought you were gonna loose her and when your heart got ripped out you dugg a grave-sized hole, you woud chose death then to live a life without her. Only to get through college and spend the rest of your life and your 69 years of marriage together. I remember your hands that always seemed to have blemishes and sores that were my favorite hands to hold. I remember when you took Kacie and I fishing and we went and swam in the green lake. I remember the coolest magnets ever that I bought for you that you still keep to this day on the fridge. I remember the chair that I used to hide behind and play peek-a-boo with you while you were trying to watch tv. You shared my love and joy of british comedies like Keeping up Apperances, Are you Being Served?, and you and grandma's favorite As Time Goes By, we never missed them when they came on. I remember when you and I would sit and watch the squirrels all day. I remember when you would ride the lawnmower and let me ride on your lap. You always had collar shirts with an animal on the side and the sweaters you would always wear, not to mention your amazing hats. You came to every single one of my plays and told me "You're gonna be a great actress someday." He always used to think I looked like Julia Roberts. You used to take me to the aquarium and you always let me go back and watch the otters for however long I wanted. I'm so thankful I got to spend all those times with you and more. I hope one day my heart will start aching, and I stop being so selfish as to wish you were still here with me. Me: "Papaw, am I you're favorite person in the world?" *bats eyelashes* Papaw: " Yes, your my favorite but don't tell the others." Me: " I love you Papaw." Papaw: " I love you too, sweetie pie."

Hey Kids
So I had a pretty hard day today, well make that a hard semester. School has been insanely tough, but i'm taking "real" classes now. I have been studying my lack of tail off for all of my tests lately and still geting the same results that aren't great, and not really sure what i should do. I really do want to pursue this degree, everything just seems to be happening at once. Before I left for South Carolina, I asked my teacher if I could take the test some other time since I would be driving back the day of the test, and I swear she said I could take it the Friday I got back, but no I was wrong and she wanted me to take it the Friday before I left and thankfully she then let me take it this past thursday. I got it back today and I didn't do great on it, and she was talking to us before she handed us back that for those of us who aren't doing well in this class really need to consider dropping Wedneday, and the first test I did good on, it was just this last test I did bad on... and it just wasn't comforting and it felt like she was talking directly to me for some reason. Well to top off that, last done 30 minutes so I ran to the observation clinic afterwards athursday I didn't know we were supposed to have an hour of observation done and I had only nd they weren't doing observations that day, so I don't know what I'm going to do. Some one asked her if she would take off a grade for not having it and she said no, so who knows what she'll do to me. I e-mailed my Beginning Acting teacher if I could make up the quiz that i missed ( first one ever) and what makes me mad was she's told us she was gonna give it to us like after the first month of school and she decides to do it when I'm out of town. She said b/c I went out of town without an excuse like sickness or death, school policy says I can't make it up. AND THEN... we had to have a monologe, and I was so excited cause I found mine and really loved it. and at first she read it and she was like O that's fine for you to do, then she wanted us to all read ours, and the character's name is Sarah and she is deaf in the play but she wrote down a speech that her husband reads which is what I would be quoting and she said for me to do this part I would have to know sign language......... so now i have to find another monlogue and I was SOOOOO looking forward to doing this one b/c it portrayed how I was feeling in my life at the moment. It just seems like there's tons of things going wrong in each class, and I think to myself is this God telling me I shouldn't be doing this? Is it just because this is my first semester and I'm just freaking out about it? Is this God telling me I need to let something go in my life, since things just keep going wrong? Or, is God trying to tell me that I have to go through this struggle to achieve this, and because it's a struggle I'm doing God's will........... I guess just be in prayer for my A and P test tomorrow I just really need a good grade to keep my morale up.

Hello my peeps( that would be rachael and hayley and maybe kelley reading over hayley's shoulder)
So yesterday was fun, I got to wear a hairnet in walmart and give out samples of curves ceral/ granola bars.. that was thrilling let me tell ya. we then went to chili's and i ate a lot. Hayley and Kelley came over to do pics for her photography class. Kacie and I dressed up as glittery silver masked gypsies with a mandolin and a guitar and a green glass bottle that has water in but was supposed to look like some alcholic beverage... and we took the pics in corn fields, gravel roads, with cutsie horses, and a rail road track where random people drove by and laughed at us. I then went home and read. I'm depressed cause I just watched the last episode of Flight of the conchords and dont' know what to do with the rest of my life. i really need to study. Dont' worry rachael i'll be beeboopin' my way up there soon..
Remember Keep Smilin'!

So I'm sittin' here in the mac lab hangin' with hayley and kelley playin' on the rather spiffffffyyyy Mac computers which they don't know but i'm stealing one in my trunk...
I went and saw Becoming Jane yesterday and James McAvoy has once again is my husband.. not that he stopped but my god that one scene when you can see the very bluenesss of his eyes is the hottest thing ever...and just so Kelley knows i cry at like every movie/book if its' supposed to be sad... that doesn't make me a pansy! dont' you dare say a thing hayley or kelley gilmore... or just incase she's reading Rachael!!!
OMG!!!!! the hottnessss is overwhelming... I"M NOT A FREAK HAYLEY!!!
anywho... go see the movie if you haven't yet, i know i'm gonna see it like 50 times.
Crazy question? Is anyone else reading the Twilight series?! A Curves friend named Laura let me borrow the books and i've become obsessed with them, its kinda of like my Harry Potter obsession all over again, i mean it's impossible to put them down.. which i kind of did right now since i'm typing on this... but anyway.... My friend Sean just randomly asked me if I read them and i was like O M G YESSSS They are flippin' good and he is also obsessed with them and says they are makin' a movie out of them... so i'm excited about that aswell.. man the weekend flew by dinnit'? b/t/w Shout out to Mel from Flight of the Conchords b/c without her I could not be a true stalker. Thank You.

So know that time when you do something and then you regret it later because it felt like that thing slapped you in the face, but then you can't get mad cause you acctually slapped yourself in the face instead of that other person?!
Yeah thought it was just me. I guess i'm just freakin' out because I'm going through a really confusing time in my life. I'm really loving all my speech pathology classes, the people I still have to get used 2, but I'm really enjoying it and I can't decided if I want to get my PHD in it or not but we'll cross that bridge when it comes up. I guess I'm just scared that I'll really like this for right now and then end up hating it and yet again letting people down cause they thought that because I changed my major I'm suddenly grown up or doing something with me life. Which I was before but it makes me wander if I really care enough about money to kill a relationship or to not pursue my masters in theater? But the whole point of going into something that I can make money in is so I can do all of these things that I've dreamed about, like traveling the world and acctually living overseas.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is What's more important a relationship with something you care/love or think you love or money? I mean obviously you would pick the relationship unless by getting the relationship you can't fulfill your dreams anymore cause you have to work some job at a convience store and can't focus on everything you wanted to do in the first place.......... Wow what a lot of rambling........ I remember there was this one guy that I couldn't stand but he asked me one day on break that he was in love with this girl and she loved him but she was about to marry some guy with a fancy house and he asked since i'm a girl which would i pick? Now obviously you would want the 2 love birds to be happy and ditch the guy with the money but this guy that asked me this question is one of the most disgusting/obnoxious/egocentric/cussin' up a storm guy i've ever met in my life. So I told him I don't know but in my head I thought to myself I can see why she left you for him.
OK I don't know if this makes any sense...........but if someone has a good answer i'd love to hear it, or read it...
So anyway Scuba diving is really a whole lot of fun and I get to go to Florida Nov 3 and 4th for the dive trip...
And Party this Sunday at the Mac Lab!!!! The Flight of the Conchordes will be performing!

Yes hello all you fellow livejournalers,
Well I registered today *with the help of a certain red head* at the lovely campus of Mississippi University for Women *accepting males since the 80's* and my schedule are as follows....
M/W/F
10-11 Phonetics * so i get to be Henry Higgins for a class*
11-12 Beginning Acting
M/W
12-1 Politcal Science * with apparently a very hott Mister Anderson.... kinda like the Matrix and neo... but not*
Tu/Th
8-9 Survey of Communication Disorders
9-10 Anatomy & Physiology of Speech and Hearing * my advisor who is super nice teaches that*
7-10 Skin & Scuba Diving
so yeah that's 16 hrs but I'm truely very excited about starting at the W and I really think i'll enjoy my classes/major. And better yet I don't have to take College Algebra every again!!! yipee skippy! Sadly, I have 4 more years of college left but i'm going to really enjoy it befor i have to go into the "real world", yes you do go into the mtv reality show after you get done with college. Now all i have to do is buy my books and do all the tedious stuff... oi vey.
So it's been a very loverly week with getting to hang out with Rachael/ Hayley every night, you never realize how much you really need that "girly" time, if you call "girly" time beating each other with wands that resemble a cat toy with a fish at the end of it and a grill baster....well even if it's not normal in the slightest... i really really needed to have moments like these, who knows how many great ones that you'll get to have with your best friends. I mean there's no gurantees that anyone will stay in Mississippi... but there is a gurantee that were all just gonna end up in England trying to find Dan and Rupert from harry potter o.. and a certain Paul McCartney... you know since were over there anywayz..*shrugs*
