MySpace Codes MySpace Comments MySpace Layouts MySpace Pranks Upload ImagesSleeping is overrated. I tried to get eight hours two nights in a row and felt sick for the whole week after. I like to stay up late and read, because otherwise it makes me anxious to think that I might be wasting time. Relaxing is hard for me to do, but when I do, I love to both read and write about... to... for... God. I miss my family. They live in mexico and I want to cry because my beautiful little brother and sisters are growing up into "big people" and I am not around to be a part of that. I am currently working towards growing into a "small person" myself. Some may call it digression, but they have only been misinformed.I edited my profile at LayoutSource.net , check out these Myspace Layouts

I'd like to meet:

Waking from a long, long sleep

What do you say on selfishness except that it is a familiar demon, who will always sell  himself as a lesser evil? He is the slippery, elusive voice whispering provocations of all sorts& independ...

I love you

I love you God. I love you because, you first loved me so long ago. You loved me in the crunchy snow of Nebraska where I toddled through my aunts garden in search of forbidden fruits and vegetables. Y...

I Just Miss Him

I am at work right now, wondering why I am not a better nanny and momentarily relapsing into a state of guilt over not feeding the children. I do enjoying a good starve now and again. (Of course I am ...
