so its valentines day.

but this year theres a twist. 

i have a valentine. a real one. a girl. that im dating. and shes mine. i dont have to even ask her to "be mine." she already is. how wonderful. it really makes the whole holiday better. i dont like the people who are like...screw valentines day. its just so hallmark can make money every once in a while. all of those people dont have a valentine. poor them. and if thats you...im sorry. i really am. maybe next year youll have a wonderful someone to share this day with.

but to all of you that do have a valentine. im glad you can share this wonderful joy im experiencing right now. its amazing.

happy valentines day everyone.

hi there.

updating this thing is hard for me. i never really know what to write. but im gonna try to catch you guys up on everything that has happened to me this year. so.... ahem.

so school is cool i guess. not much homework and im getting really good grades right now. so thats pretty much the greatest combination of school possible. yep. i finally got out of golf. that took a lot off of my mind. that coach was a jerk. theatres now getting pretty demanding though. weve got this play....much ado about nothing...were rehearsing for. it goes up this week so kids.

BUY TICKETS!!!! thanks.

plus on mondays wednesdays and fridays ive got studiofest rehearsals. so on those days im pretty much going to school from 7-7. thats not so kool. but now that i think about it...its not so bad. i mean much ados gonna be over after this week and studiofest wont be so bad once we all get our lines down which is soppossed to happen this week also. so theres that.

and my relationship with god is getting stronger still. its really not where i want it to be...but its getting there. he keeps leaving me wanting more of him so hes teaching me so many things now. im really bummed that i cant go to dnow this year though. i really needed that as part of my rejuvination. but of course ive gotta do much ado on the only days weve got it so that sucks. im gonna try really hard to go to at least one of the sessions though. i cant let satan win.

and then theres kara. i know ive talked about her before, but people people people. this is about my life. and this girl kara is a big part of it. so why wouldnt i leave her a little section of my entry thats alll about her? i spent all day at her house today. its so funny how we can just lay there and do absolutely nothing but be in each others presence and were satisfied for hours. she showed me some things she wrote about me in her red journal. it made me smile so big. guys, you dont know a thing about feeling infinate until you have dated a girl like kara. a writer. she wrote things in that little journal that ive wanted to hear all my life. geez. i dont know. its so hard to explain how i feel right now because you werent there today. but trust me....if you ever feel the way i do right now you will never be satisfied with anything less ever again. mmhmm.

so thats that i guess. im like so so hungry right now and there is an incredible amount of food in my pantry. there is nothing else to do BUT go get some of that tasty nourishment.

peace be with you and everyone youve ever known.

well hello kids!

well i hope you had a happy new year. i know i did. ive gained so much in these few days in the 06. well kara troglin is my girlfriend. its great to be able to say that. shes such a wonderful person. and she makes me oh so happy when im around her. its such a wonderful feeling to have a "high school girlfriend" i guess. i havent had a girlfriend in 2 years, so thats gotta say a lot about this girl doesnt it? yes. yes it does.

well i hope you kids have a wonderful day. its so peaceful this early in the morning.

so its the end of the year and im as happy as ever. it seems ive got everything ive ever wanted right now. life seems so wonderful in every way. i keep trying to think of something to feel pain about and i cant seem to grasp anything. my relationship with God keeps on growing. I grew apart from him this year but recently ive gotten a lot closer to him and that makes me so happy. i looked back on the xanga entries from this year and it feels good to think about all the things that ive experienced this year. i have entires from all the way in last september in here. thats pretty cool to say that ive kept a constant journal of my life since then.

so hey Garretts in a good mood. thats a good thing i guess. but how about you? how was your 2005? i hope it was as good as mine was!

2006....pick up sticks.

[garrett]

so im gonna go ahead and update this thing since kara troglin told me to. shes a wonderful girl if you havent met her before.

the reason i havent been posting a lot is because i havent been getting many comments. i think its because i dont have aim and so people actually have to go look for me on xanga instead of clicking on that little link in my profile. but i thank all of you that actually comment when i dont have aim. it shows that you actually care about my life enough to search for me. did that make sense? i hope so.

well happy sunday. seven days until some fat guy in a red suits gonna poke his butt through your chimney and burn it on your toasty fire you accidentally left overnight. haha just kidding. merry christmas to all. and to all a good night.
