I woke up this morning with a ton of energy. Then I had 3 cups of coffee, now it feels like my blood is doing cartwheels! I've never been this full of energy! I wanna just go run a million miles! Today I'm heading off on an adventure with three of my friends, in which we will hopefully eat thai food, loiter in stores, and discover free soda cans!
Also, I found another really great band called Radical Face. They are a alternative/electric band but I've never heard anything else like them and I highly recommend listening to a few of their songs. And some good old Disney songs and show tunes, because they are incredibly fun to sing along with!
Before my summer is over I'm hoping to complete one BIG project, so if you have any cool ideas let me know, I'm feeling the need to start accomplishing things!
Don't drink too much coffee!

It ain't me babe
Today....is one of my bad days. It's been so long since I've had one, and I forget how to handle it. If we put my life on rewind for 6 monthes I would've handled today by drinking a bottle of liquor or hurting my body. But now all of those things are sworn off because I'm trying so hard to become a new person. Its not that I don't like who I am now, I just am learning to love myself and am making some personal changes in my personality, and working on developing some of the traits I admire in people but cannot claim for myself, such as:
Acceptance
Alertness
Blissfullness
boldness
Calmness
Charm
Caring
Direction
Discipline
Faith
Fashion
Fidelity
Grace
Humility
Strength
Tranquility
Warmth
Through my journey of developing these traits, I hope to discover what it is that causes the good days and the bad days. Strength is probably the biggest obstacle to overcome, because I am very weak to my emotions. Even today was caused because I allowed my imagination to pair up with my emotions and lead me over a cliff. Luckily, listening to show tunes can help any girl feel like it will all be ok in the end.

Living in a fishbowl
These past few weeks have been packed, but I can't remember what they were packed with. There's swimming every morning and capoeira whenever I have time. I'm learning to play Stairway to Heaven. The TAB on that song is so freaking long! I'll never memorize it all!
So I've begun to try to think that we all have so little control over our lives that why don't we just live up the time we have. We each get about 70 good years of living, and why would you waste them on trying to achieve society's idea of perfection? People waste their entire lives on working and trying to get more material things. But if you have clothes on your back, food to eat, and a place to sleep, then you have everything that you need. From there on out it should all be about doing what makes you happiest!
And I can't wait to go to California!
Love,
Hayley

Ladies and Gentlemen, Physical Exercise!!
My summer has officially begun! And I am already sensing a trend. I exercise all day, socialize at night, and sleep whenever the opportunity presents itself. Since I am a natural born Coloradoan, I have a deep appreciation for hiking. So yesterday I hiked 2 miles, up 2000 feet, to a freezing cold lake, and jumped into it with only my underwear on! Yup, thats my idea of fun this summer. Tomorrow morning I'm leaving again to go hike the Spanish Peaks. They are 13,000ft mountains but because they are isolated from the rest of the Rocky Mountains, you have to hike up at least 7,000 feet to the summit. Whoop! Let the off-trail backpacking begin!
So here's another quick little thought. I do subscribe to any religion, but I do believe that there is a higher power. This idea was reinforced for me yesterday when I was eating watermelon. If you think about it, watermelons are such a strange fruit. They are green on the outside but when opened they offer a vibrant, red, sweet fruit inside! Its an incredible phenomenon in my opinion, and no amount of science can create anything like that!
Now I'm off to pack!
Peace, Love, and Sunshine,
HAYLEY(:

Bang, Bang, Shoot, Shoot!
I just got back from a new yoga class that i'm taking! Ah! I love it soo much! If you are looking for the best way to unwind from a Monday, yoga is the best! You get off your mat feeling like you just woke up!
This weekend I watched Thelma & Louise, it is pretty much my favorite movie ever. For some reason, it may be the very young Brad Pitt, or the fantastic clothing, but it just hits somewhere. It must be like me and my friends!
Thats all for now!
Love,
Hayley!!!!

Wow!
I can't believe it's been so long since I last wrote! I've just been so busy finishing up the school year that I can't find time to do everything! Only two more weeks and my summer will officially begin! I can't wait! Finally I can get away from classes and cliques for a while.
My summer plans include... going to visit my sister in Los Angeles and take care of her two kids for a few days so that she can relax, driving up to north-east Montana to remember how much of a redneck I really am, taking a film class, practicing guitar, practicing Capoeria, and trying not to get any sunburns! I am determined not to get skin cancer and I will wear as much sun block as I need to keep it that way!
The film class that I am taking is going to be incredible! It took me a while to decide between wheel throwing and film, but I decided that I probably won't have a long term relationship with throwing clay, so film won! Hopefully if I make enough progress I will make a vieo worth putting up for you to see!
I'd like to say that I will write again soon, but seeing as I have one week to remember everything I've learned this semester and be prepared to take finals, I will most defininitly have to wait until summer to write again!

Peaches, Mangos, and Hiking Boots
Today officially starts my countdown until summer! I have struggled through a long, cold Colorado winter and I am now declaring the end of it!
It is time to break out the refreshing fruits! I love peaches and mangos, especially with sticky rice! Summer is also the best time to do my three favorite sports! Capoeira, swimming, and hiking! My goal this summer is to climb at LEAST four 14er's. For those of you who don't know what a 14er is, it's a mountain that is higher than 14,000 feet. I've climbed 6 of them so far, which is really pathetic... but I will climb on until I have climbed the entire front range, or maybe just 10 of them.
There are actually many things I am trying to finish by the end of August, and hopefully I can get through all of them. Curious? Well I guess you will have to stay posted as I complete my victories!
Love and Glimmering Stars,
Hayley
