If only you could see things the way that I want them If only my plans could turn out in the end If only my ideas could be shared by us both If only my dreams had a glimmer of hope Then I wouldn't be selfish I wouldn't be vain I wouldn't be wistful I wouldn't cause you pain. I guess I'll learn to give up, I guess I'll learn to let go I guess I'll learn how to wait I guess I'm learning self-control And boy does it S-U-C-K

I was looking at my friend's pictures today, and I realized that I wasn't there for a lot of them. This made me very sad. In a way, I feel like I missed out on a lot this summer. Apparently they had another tribal night. How did I miss that? And I was working when they did deep fried candy bars, though I did get to stop by for a few minutes. How did I manage to miss the shoe-tree? I think I forgot about it, so that's kind of my fault. But yeah, I feel like I missed out on a lot this summer. Leaves a rather unsatisfactory taste on the pallet. So, I really want to try to eat healthy and be more active and maybe shed a few pounds this semester. I usually do really good. Until I get some craving for ice cream or soda or some other sugar filled carbohydrate (yes, that's a bit redundant ). Usually I cave. Which makes me wonder: if I really cared about losing weight, I wouldn't cave. But, I really do want to lose weight!! Isn't there some way to like, balance being act...

Okay, kinda worked out another idea based on Tamar and Amnon. It certainly wouldn't be PG, but i'd try to keep it as clean as possible, what with the story line. Tamar: Daughter of Absalom, son of King David. She is a young beautiful teen who is named for her Aunt Tamar, a quiet, desolate figure who isolates herself from the rest of the family. Tamar's upcoming marriage serves as a catalyst to draw out the story of her aunts sorid past, and the truth about her father. (Aunt) Tamar: a young beautiful princess living in her father's house. From a distance she has seen her handsome half-brother Amnon, but living as a virgin in her father's house prevents her from seeing him. When the King commands her to take care of Amnon in his illness, she eagerly goes, only to find that Amnon had faked his illness. When she refuses Amnon's demands to sleep with him, he overpowers her and takes what he wants anyways. Afterwards, he throws her out in disgust, despite her pleas, ...

So..I'm taking a screenwriting class, and i have to come up with a pitch (logline) for next week. Which of course means i have to have a movie idea to pitch. So, here's an idea i was working on: Bathsheba: extremely attractive young woman, married to Uriah, a warrior man whom she does not know or love. She has breifly met King David before, as he is very close with her husband. When the King calls her to his room in the middle of the night, she allows herself to belive he can fulfill the emotional and physical void left by her absent husband and sleeps with the king, only to become pregnant and have her husband killed by the king. She eventually marries the king. King David: Although considered a man after God's own heart, he finds himself caught in a web of evils when he refuses to join his troops at war and instead see Bathsheba performing a rutial cleansing on her rooftop. He calls her to his room and seduces her, and gives orders for her husband to be killed once news r...
