| A Great Love
Author Unknown
Once upon a time,
There was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Vanity, Knowledge, Richness and Love.
Theirs was a contented existence until one day to everyone's dismay it was discovered that the island was sinking. Everyone was told they must leave. So the feelings all prepared their boats and started leaving their beloved island.
Love was the only one who stayed, behind. Love so cared for the island home that he wanted to stay until they were sure the island was really sinking.
When Love realized that the island was finally sinking, he decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a beautiful boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There are a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no room in here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by, "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you Love. You are all wet and will damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh...Love, I am so sad that I can't help anyone. I prefer to go alone!"
Happiness passed by Love too. She was too happy to notice when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elderly man.
Love became very happy that he even forgot to ask the name of the elder. When they arrived to safe grounds, Love asked Knowledge who was the elderly man.
"It was Time." "Time? But why did Time help me?"
"Because only Time is capable of understanding such a great Love."
Remember that when things may look the bleakest, and when all appears abandoned, Time is capable of solving anything.
Things may not have a solution today, but tomorrow you may find one! | | |

haha! have fun! | | |
| things have been good lately....
volleyball has been all right, we're good, it's just that i think we're
missing something...a certain click that just isn't happening and i
don't know why. we definately have the talent to make some noise this
year, so i'm sure that whatever probably we have will be easily
corrected as the season begins. maybe it's just practice boredom, which
any athlete can understand...the same old practice, everyday, same
drills....it starts to become painful 
either way, i can't wait until we start our games, i have so much fun
playing, and competing against neighbor schools is the best part of any
sports team.
school begins on tuesday, and i managed to already put my pictures up in my locker during band one day. it looks pretty
and it's smack dab next to the door that i famously slammed into right
before going onstage for our musical my freshman year...melissa and
jessica know what i'm talking about, lol. it's weird that i'm in the
big "senior hallway" now....but i like it. it should be a good year, my
dad told me a few weeks ago that "you need to have fun this year. i
mean, worry about your grades, they're important too, but make sure you
make it fun. it only happens once" 
i was surprised when he told me that, mainly because the stereotypical
role of a parent is to make sure you get great grades and make sure you
don't go to the principals office. my dad? "have as much fun as you
can"....that completely rocks my socks. and i intend on having fun this
year. we started EPTV the other day, and it should be great. adyson and
ryan and are anchors, mike is the technical guy, chelsea is the weather
girl, and i'm the sports girl. lol, i can't wait, it's already
hilarious....so tune in during homeroom and watch, cuz it's the NHS
kids, and we are cool like that
not too much else has been happening...i've been hanging out with my
friends, like i have all summer, and having a blast too. i think i've
changed a lot these past few months, and it's been for the better. i
feel so much happier than i have in a long time, and it feels great. as
much as i enjoy this change, i feel like i've drifted away from some
people that i used to see everyday. i haven't had much of a chance to
see them all summer, as we've all been busy, and i hope that during the
school year it'll all come back. i dunno, i just feel like we're not
really interested in the same things anymore. we have different
friends, different activities, different plans for the future...it
just...sucks that things are turning out this way. part of me feels
like it's my fault, but then again i've hung out with them just as much
as they have hung out with me....if that makes any sense. they've
gotten mad at me about it too, and even after getting yelled at, it
didn't make any sort of difference with us. oh well, things will get
better in that department, i just have to try and keep my head up about
it.
that's all for now...so i'll fill you all in on the next exciting
happenings of my life as they come around...i know you all are eagerly
awaiting them
love always,
jenn

i wrote in this thing for like, a half hour, and completely lost all of it! oh well, i guess i'll just have to type it all out again, whoever is reading this is worth my time...
with volleyball starting on monday, i am extremely pumped about
everything lately. the seniors told john that we dont want him to take
it easy on us this year, and he needs to work our butts off so we can
do awesome this year. it's awesome that we all agreed on it too,
because that shows that we're all in it for the right reasons...at
least i hope so. i'm so pumped about this season...i'm finally a
senior, i've been playing against these other teams for 5 years now,
and this is sort of like the final match up against them. it's really
awesome if you think about it, i need like, background music right now
for all the thoughts going through my mind. i can just picture all of
us warming up, peppering, serving, passing, hitting...especially
hitting. that's the best part about warm ups, because that's when you
really get excited...slamming the ball to the floor to show the other
team what they're up against....sends chills down my spine. the noise
from the crowd....the soccer boys, rooting us on and begging for us to
throw a t-shirt at them when the starters get announced (AND! gary is a
soccer boy this year, so a HUGE woo hoo for that ).
the thrill of the team in the middle, huddling together and pumping
each other up for the game. the starting serve...that's a big feeling,
starting the game and having all eyes on you...amazing adrenaline.
playing back row and watching the ball as the opposing team sets it
up...you need to get down and ready to cover, not knowing where she's
going to hit it, but when she does, you'll be ready. it's the feeling
in the front row when the ball is on your side and you know they your
setter is going to pop you one to the outside, right where you like it.
it's the way you feel going up for the kill and just swinging through,
hitting it right on and feeling your spike go down on the other
side...i love it. i can't even explain those feelings after a kill, or
an ace, or a win. it's like, being invinceable. for those moments
nobody can bring you back down....wow, i'm probably sounding crazy
right now....you all get my drift, i am PUMPED...lol and it all begins on monday....sigh, i love it...
i get a phone call from gary yesterday morning to find out that he went
to the doctors and his knee is infected from the incident at band camp,
and he has strep throat...lol, all at the same time...tee hee hee,
i think it's funny, but at the same time i feel bad. he had to get a
tetanus shot too, which gave me the heebie jeebies because i hate
shots. he didnt even know he got it either  ,
he said he was waiting for it, and the lady walked away and he watched
her throw the needle away and realized he already got it. crazy boy, i
would have cried my eyes out, because something sharp stabbing me in
the arm is something i pick up on. hopefully he notices if someone
shoots an arrow at him or something...lol. even so, he was brave about
it, and he's been a good sick boy for the past couple of days. i told
jordan meuse, and he laughed because gary gets sick as often as the
school isn't under construction. anyone from EP gets my drift, lol
sarah downey got her license today, which is exciting news because she
has been pumped about this day for many a week. she picked me up and we
rode around for a while, which was different because our spots were
switched, i was riding and she was driving...which was awesome. i was
thinking about how pumped i was when i got my license, and how garrett
sent me a message that day..it was about how the president is sending
extra funding toward our county for more guardrails and how he's
declaring it an emergency for everyone to stay off the roads...yeah,
he's a dork, but definately one of my favorite senior guys this year
that watched out for me. anyway, i am extremely proud of her for
getting her license, as i know she is too...GOOD JOB SAMI!
that's all i have for now...sorry about the volleyball rambling, that
took a while, but isn't that what you love about these posts? the
randomness? that's what i thought, lol
love you all, have a FANTASTIC DAY! it's gorgeous outside
