Butterfly fly away.

well I'm back in America. i haven't posted in a while... i got home march 30th. so it's almost my 1 month mark for being back home. i gotta say its weird. i still haven't gotten to see all my friends, i got a job at a local grocery store, got in a relationship, then got out of it. Just weird. But back to relationship business...there's this guy. *big sigh* and his name is Jonathon. I gotta say he's the only one who tugs on my heart strings. BUT he's currently in Texas. He comes back soon though [hopefully].

I work at a grocery store, Lowes Foods. My mom works there too...it's pretty epic. 

One of the CSL's [Customer Service Leader]...well let's just say "i'm looking for hot stuff baby this evening, i want hot stuff baby tonight" and my bff [beth] AGREES! He's cute. :] Bottom line.

Moving on...OMG GLEE!!!! it's back! :] it makes me so happy. Glee TRULY is the ONLY thing that makes me unconditionally happy. End of story. 

what else... idk my life IS average. but i enjoy average...i know nothing else. 

je te promets. 

How do you love someone without getting hurt?

cute picture huh? well i like it. So here's the past month in a nutshell. I learned how to ski, went to school a lot. Uhm, the only thing interesting is...this past weekend i spent in Autrans, which is a little town on the top of the Vercors Mountains. There was a big rotary get together, and we welcomed the south hemi's. Two girls from autralia, one from argentina, one from south Africa and one from new zealand.

I'm good friend with all of them except the girl from argentina, but she doesn't speak english too much. Or too much french so...yea. But the others, i'm tight with. haha

Erin is the girl from south africa [pictured at right]. She is too adorable! She was like "I love hearts!" she just says the cutest things all the time. And we got along so well. And we talked so much just about random things, and i had to explain wal-mart to her. And we talked about just the different things between USA, SA, and FR. It was cool.

Here's New Zealand! Her name is Laura! She's super nice! We talked about Stuart a bit. I gave her some advice about the exchange and what not. She speaks WAY differently then Stuart does. Stuart had a british accent [how i dont know.] And she has a "true" New Zealand accent. She's adorable as well.

Both of those girls are just so nice! Their not 'hardcore' or 'bad-asses'. Their just down to earth people looking for a life changing time and a good time. Gotta love it. Well I'm going to conclude this entry with a quote. "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind. " -Mohandas Ghandi.

So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye...

today is a sad day. i had to say goobye to my brother Stuart. for those who don't know...Stuart is from New Zealand. We are both exchange students in France and oddly ended up in the same house [super rare thing]...[but a big  blessing]

Stuart leave officially tomorrow early in the morning, but we had to say our final goodbyes today. Because i switched families this past Sunday, anyway, Since he's from the Southern Hemisphere he came January of 2009 and Leaves January of 2010. It is now January of 2010.


We got to live together for four months. An amazing four months filled with laughter, and well laughter. We didn't let ourselves get into arguments, if something came up we would push it aside and not let it affect us. We had too little time together and knew it needed to be spent well. And we did spend it well. I know have a brother, forever, no matter where either of us are on the earth, whether its France, United States, or New Zealand.

Stuart, god he honestly can not know how much he meant to me. This exchange...i started it out in a different state of mind than i am in right now. I can't describe either states of mind, but it's just changed. And Stuart has helped me realize what this year is all about. He's helped me become confident in who i am as a person, as a daughter, as a student, as a sister, as anything i want to be.

He will always be welcome in my home no matter what. I just can't put into words my emotions right now. Stuart, if you are reading this, [and i know i've said this before but..] thank you. You are hte best exchange brother i could have asked for. And as i sat on the tram going home alone this afternoon after saying goodbye, and i felt a tear i tried so hard to fight back slowly roll down my cheek, i knew that an amazing boy with blonde hair, an odd choice in fashion, and a quick tongue had changed my life.

Stuart [again if you are reading this.] look down at your chest. Then a little to the left. and remember, i'll always be there.
