after a weekend in belmont, texas, i have decided that i love the country. ive never been a true country girl...i did used to ride horses though, until i got bucked off and never got back on, literally. but its just so beautiful out there. you can see all of the stars and its so quiet and peaceful. i love it. one problem though was when we floated the river on this land and it got caught on a stick by my bathing suit and then tube, and i scraped and bruised my butt. but it does make me feel a little tough. we went looking for hogs to shoot, im very thankful that we didnt see any, because i dont know what i would have thought of that. but i did see an armadillo, ive never seen one alive, and a bunch of huge cows. i love country people, they are so friendly and automatically call you friend. we were driving around in the jeep at night and the song 'im from the country' by tracy byrd came on and we all sang, i loved it. great weekend that felt like vacation thanks to hurricane rita.  

cute cute dress, but too too skinny. waaaaaay to skinny in the waist, its like four inches across the front.

hurricane katrina sucks. lately after watching the news i just want to go there and help. i want to not worry about school and drive there and help pick up the peaces. join an organization there that is going to help clean up these cities and help rebuild it all. i see people where their houses used to be just picking up the wood. i want to go do that. i am tired of people blaming everyone else on what is happening. and why it took so long. i wish those people would shut their mouths and lend a helping hand. donating money is awesome, but i just really want to be there. ive been wanting to go volunteer at the shelters around texas, but everyone keeps telling me that it is unsafe. that the people that go help are getting sexually assaulted and stuff like that. i am just so tired of people talking and talking. DO SOMETHING. worry about something else than yourselves. i have to go do homework right now. it seems like i could be doing so much more than reading about helping people in my social work books.

p.s. i dont like kanye west
