whipped cream.

the weekend is finally here! not that it really matters much because i have worked everyday...

friday i had my class then worked 2-7. it was caitlin's last day at sonic! we were very sad! but, as tradition, we whip creamed her! me and brandy got her while clint held her down! after work i went to my parents' house to eat dinner.. i showered & got ready for silverados! (and my chacos came in!!! i LOVE them!)

anyways, i picked up brandy and we headed to silverados for caitlin's going away party. it was so much fun! i have a new found love of line dancing!

after silverados, i took brandy home & went to the boys apt for lane's pilot party! i got there and started swing dancin with joe! and then i taught joe, zach and andy the rooster strut. then me & zach "perfected" the good time dance! so needless to say, i burned a lot of calories dancing last night! haha

saturday i slept in. it was amazing! then i had lunch with sarah at busters. then i worked from 5-midnight! awesome. sonic owns me lately. tonight i especially wanted to pull out my hair. it was ridiculous! but, i did have 7 friends come & see me so i felt very special (=

anyways, i just finished reading a chapter in the new book i'm reading: dateable. it's a christian book that i definitely should have read in high school. it talks about dating in your teens but i'm only 20 so i think i still kinda count (= so it talks about how basically if you are in a relationship: it will end. eventually at least. it's a very truthful and blunt book on the christian perspective of dating and how you should have fun and not put everything into your relationship because it will end eventually and you will be left destroyed. this is why i should have read it in high school. i feel like things would have been a little bit different. so now i'll leave you with my favorite paragraph so far:

"God knows that if we get too caught up in chasing, catching, and hanging onto a crush, then we stop growing. we stop seeing his power. his mystery. his love. the Great Romancer wants to romance you. he wants to show you the sunsets and give you the falling stars. he wants you to run with passion after him. he wants to shape you. he wants to give you your dreams, your desires, your destiny."

word.

today has been pretty uneventful.

class.

tan.

shower.

homework.

lunch.

laundry.

clean up apartment.

awesome.

so now i'm just chillin, waitin to go to work. i might go home before work and see the rents...

later i'll go to work for my amazing three hour shift! then head to the rec with sparta, lauren, and sarah.

then i will hopefully be hittin the hay early tonight cause i have a full day tomorrow!

word for the day: qwerty. (=

prayin that this cold will go away.. all just mucus and drainage now. funnnn!

"they say that love can heal the broken,
they say that hope can make you see,
they say that faith can find a saviour,
if you would follow and believe, with faith like a child"

what do tigers dream of?

hey yall!

it's been a pretty good day here!

i missed my first three classes & slept in. (= oops

so i woke up & tanned. then showered and went to camino with lauren (so much for givin up mexican for two weeks ;) ) then we had a sex and the city marathon! it was so much fun! EEEKKKK! *claps hands*! hahaha! i love my bestest friend! we are so alike and i don't know what i'd do without her!.. anyways (=

then i went to class & we made jeopardy boards on the computer. it was pretty much a huge waste of time. and then i went to dinner at cheddars with lauren and sparta.. then hit up walmart! then i went to the boys apartment and hung out with alex and sullay a bit. i haven't gotten to see them much lately cause i have been working so much & i miss them a lot! then i came home, did some laundry, finished a paper, & here i am!

so, i thought i'd write down some thoughts that i have had lately about friends.

i have had a few problems with friends lately and i guess instead of venting everything i just wanna share what i have learned:

i don't want to be a fake person. i know most everyone struggles with gossip and that is something i am trying extra hard lately not to do. gossip is ridiculous and i dont want to be apart of it. i have been at the receiving end of a lot of gossip lately with my friends and it just makes me realize that when i say things about other people, even if they aren't meant to hurt, they can and do hurt. i know what it feels like and i dont want to be that kind of person that is one way to someone's face, then completely different when they walk away. just like in the movie mean girls "omg that skirt is so cute!" *girl walks away* "that is the ugliest effing skirt i have ever seen." i dont want to be like that. Proverbs says: "gossip separates the best of friends." this one of the truest verses ever. because it does. gossip has made me keep many people at arm's length.

anyways, these are my scattered midnight thoughts thrown onto the paper (= enjoy you crazy/thoughtful friends.

love always <3

"When everything is wrong I'll come talk to you
You make things alright when I'm feeling blue

You are such a blessing and I wont be messing
with the one thing that brings light to all my darkness

You're my best friend
and I love you, and I love you
Yes I do

There is no other one who can take your place
I feel happy inside when I see your face
I hope you believe me
'Cause I speak sincerely
and I mean it when I tell you that I need you

You're my best friend
and I love you, and I love you
Yes I do

I'm here right beside you
I will never leave you
and I feel the pain you feel when you start crying

You're my best friend
and I love you, and I love you
Yes I do"

DEDICATED: to my best friend, lauren (=

chacos time!

well it's monday now & i have been sick the past two days! it has definitely not been fun!

saturday night i started to get sick but forced myself to get out of bed & go to silverados with my coworkers. it was definitely an interesting night to say the least haha.

sunday i was bed ridden. i ended up going home & was definitely not a fun day... but i did finish my book, the lovely bones.

then today i felt a lot better. which was awesome! i wrote a paper which wasn't fun. but i finished it. kind of. haha and then i went to work...

while i was at work, mr andy thought it would be funny to tell me that he broke his leg & couldn't go on our spring break trip to gulf shores. i didn't believe it for a minute! but i got him back.. no worries. and he still owes me haha

anyways... i've been working so much so there isn't much else to say =/

oh, i failed lent for sweets. but the other half is still going strong!!

"work work all week long, punchin that clock dusk from till dawn, countin the days till friday night that's when all the conditions are right for a good time, i need a good time. yeah i've been workin all week and i'm tired and i don't wanna sleep and i wanna have fun, it's time for a good time."

what a week.

well it's been a pretty busy week... here's the quick summary:

sunday--valentines day. awesome. ok it really wasn't that bad haha. i bought myself a new dress for church that i had had my eye on at target so i justified it since i didn't have a significant other to buy for (= so i went to church with my friends & then had a few single ladies over to my apartment after to bake and decorate cookies! it was fun... and then the boys crashed it. i should've known that they would. shoulda remembered to lock the door! then i went home to see my mom & then i went to work and closed. yes, i worked on valentines day night. so not lame! hahaha

monday--went to my health class then i can't remember what i did until 5. but at 5, i went to work.. & closed. again.

tuesday--tuesdays are my busy days. i have class from 8-12:45 (math for teachers, english lit, and us history) then i have a break until my technology in the classroom class from 4:30-7:30. so during my break, i hung out with lauren & sparta. it was so fun! we went to camino & got some noms & then we went to lauren's house. me & lauren made some HILARIOUS videos! and sparta recorded them! then i went to class. we always get out early in that class.. so after i went to the point with sarah at new vision. it was really good!

wednesday--back at my health class. then i went to cheddars with sparta & lauren. it was the first day of lent & i gave up boys & sweets. needless to say, the cookie monster broke lent for me. oops. (= it was so good though! then i went home and read & later i went to the boys apartment and hung out for a little while. it was fun (=

thursday--went to class then worked from 2-11. made gooooooooood money! lane, andy, & zach came to sonic & paid me money for spring break!!

friday--i overslept and missed my class.. oops (= then i tanned, ran some errands, and cleaned my little chili pepper! the weather was so nice! then i went to work from 2-7. after work, i went to camino with lauren, sparta, sarah, & sparta's friend robby. it was phe-nom-inal!

and here we are at saturday...--i went to work from 9-3. we were SO busy! now i'm feelin sick. not good... i gotta feel better cause i'm supposed to go out tonight!

well, that's been my week! so much sonic... but i gotta save money for spring break! we leave for gulf shores in two weeks! now i'm sitting here hoping that i don't get sick! no bueno!

"scar tissue that i wish you saw,sarcastic mister know it all, close your eyes and i'll kiss you cause with the birds i'll share, with the birds i'll share this lonely view."

well, my two best friends (lauren & sparta) made blogs, and they are making me conform. i've had a few blogs before, but i always stopped after a while... hopefully they'll make me keep writing. well here it goes:

my name is holly holt. i'm a very optimistic person. i like to look on the brightside of every situation that comes my way. i can't stand being around negative people. what an awful way to live. i am a christian & in the past few months my faith has grown so much, it's crazy. i took one of the lowest parts of my life & made it into a praise instead of a burden. if you are so curious that you have to know, this low part was a heartbreak. my ex and i broke up in october. i was devastated. i thought i would marry the kid. turns out, God knew what he was doing all along--as he always does. God picked me up & shook me. i opened my eyes and realized that even though God was so important in my life already, he wasn't the MOST important thing to me. He wanted me to put Him at the center of my life. it just took a while to realize it. i am happier than i ever was being in that relationship. yes, i do get a little sad still thinking back & realizing that that part of my life is over. however, i get so happy when i realize where i am now & when i think of all the possibilities that God has in store for me. i know that he will bless me far more than i ever expected. i have an amazing family & group of close friends that i do not know what i would do without them!

let's see what else about me... well my favorite food is macaroni and cheese, my favorite color is yellow. i'm a sucker for yellow roses & if you know me well enough you know why. i already have my realistic dream car: red 5 speed honda del sol, yes: i love driving a manual way more than an automatic! i love to read & i have been reading a lot lately! my favorite series of books is harry potter. i have yet to read twilight... shocking, i know. i just finished dear john & the last song.. AMAZING books if you haven't read them yet. i'm in the middle of reading the lovely bones. i have so many books lined up that i have to read next. i love finding new things in the bible too, though i don't think i could do the whole reading straight through it.

anyways, i'm not a tomboy or an extreme girly girl. i'm definitely a happy medium. i'm a southern girl for sure. i love everything about the south. summer is my favorite season for sure. i am so sick of winter & snow right now! i can't wait to drive around with the top of my car off! i love doing anything outside like hiking or swimming. i love to watch sports, even though i'm not very coordinated when i play them... i'm not horrible though & i'll take a challenge! basketball is definitely my favorite sport, but i also love football & starting to love hockey (thanks lauren & sparta). my teams: basketball: UT, football: titans, hockey: preds! yes i am a close to home fan (= i guess i dislike the usual things that most people dislike: liars, fake people, cheaters. the norm. it's funny how many people dislike those characteristics, but who act that way that they hate. i've definitely had my share of backstabbing & crap talking from my closest friends, but it's definitely made me a stronger person. i count those experiences as blessings because it shows me how i don't want to be.

i'm currently single.. & will be for at least another 40 days because lent started today. i'm not catholic so don't even try that! i just felt like it'd be a good break from certain things. so for lent i'm giving up boys & sweets. yes, i've been single for a few months, but that doesn't mean that i haven't had my emotions messed with & screwed over again. cause i have. but it's all a learning experience. i like to think that if i can't seem to find the good in it, it'll just be another story that i can tell my kids to help them through their tough times.

i love music so much. it's an amazing outlet & i have such a random ipod, it's crazy.

this is so unorganized & rambling & if you have made it this far in reading then you must be something crazy or special for caring enough to read all this nonsense haha.

lauren has this for her blog & i did this in my old xanga blog, so i'll throw some lyrics or a verse in each blog somewhere...

"at the cross i bow my knee, where your blood was shed for me, there's no greater love than this. you have overcome the grave, glory fills the highest place, what can separate me now?"

basically here's me in a nutshell: i'm holly: the happy southern girl, servant of God, who strives to be the best person she can be & loves to live, laugh, and love.
