I'll start out by explaining the bizarre name I gave my blog... My last name happens to be Hehl [pronounced Hale or Hail...]. As a family, we've always had this joke about our last name since it's so close to "Hell" and that's how EVERYONE says it at first. So, in light of that, it was the only somewhat catchy thing I could think of in the moment. YAY!
Why am I starting a blog????
Top 3 reasons:
1. Writing clears my head.
2. I have time.
3. I got jealous of other blogs and decided I would attempt the level of coolness they have.
That's all.
But this should be fun, right? RIGHT?
You may be wondering a bit about me. Well, stop. I'm Lindsey Anne Hehl. A 19 year old, spunky, short, talkative girl. I have brown hair and blue eyes. Music is my life. Like seriously. I have played the piano for 11 years along with a bit of violin and viola flung in there. But piano is my love. Also, I t
ry singing....Right now, I'm in a band called Season's Extreme!!! It's excellent. But currently all of the boys (Devin Moore, Corey Furr, Kyle Bond, and Ethan Dodge) are all on LDS missions. For 2 whole years! I miss them like CRAZY. Anyway, even though we are currently on hiatus, check us out- HERE. Do it. I know you want to. It is so much fun! Today I was listening to one of our songs that Dev and Cor wrote. I absolutely adore it. Here are the lyrics {so you may have a little taste}:
I've got my head filled with unimportant details
But how
Am I to sort them out?
I've got my heart set on unreliable people
And now
And now I've been let down.
Tell me that I'm capable of reason
Without
Bending the truth.
Maybe some day, I'll conquer all my demons
But not till I conquer the thought of you...
I had this random spurt of sophisticated thought
And I'm trying not to get caught.
I cannot fathom
The purpose behind the silly things you bought,
Is this why we fought?
My knees are callused from over exposure to the floor
Please keep us safe through this war..
A fit of malice
Your smiling face has never seen before.
Have we settled the score?
Bless my soul,
How'd you know?
Had to go..
Go back home.
Oh keepin' us from sinnin'
It's like trying to stop the world from spinning.
To find things keepin' us from living
You took for granted what you've been given.
Get, set, GO,
Pull ahead at the stop light,
Over your head in a job that was part time.
Givin' up on the world was you're third crime.
It's a good world and man, it's ALL MINE!
Here in this valley,
We're anxiously awaiting the snow
I can't wait for it to snow-
Christmas comes to slow.
In that same valley,
The people stand as they bury him below
Why'd you have to go?
Off on adventures on his own.
My throat is dry as a desert from shouting at the sky
-Couldn't even think-
Didn't get to say goodbye.
His boat sailed by and left me here,
Standing asking why.
-Tossed into the drink-
Sometimes the innocent die.
Bless my soul,
How'd you know?
Had to go..
Come back home.
Oh keepin' us from sinnin'
It's like tryin' to stop the world from spinnin'
To find things keepin' us from livin'

Pull ahead at the stoplight,
Over your head in a job that was part time.
Givin' up on the world was your third crime.

I think it's time for...
Us to say goodbye.

There you are. It was about a friend of theirs that passed away... Super powerful lyrics, huh.
MOVING ALONG
SO. I am going to Utah State University in Logan, Utah. HOLY CRAP it's so fun! A big cold sometimes, ok maybe A LOT BIT cold, but I've gotten used to it... Logan, my dear friends, is such a blast. I'm not kidding. All of your current misconceptions should be gone, whether it be about Mormons or about Logan or the school itself, let them goooooo..... I guess what makes USU so phenomenal is the people. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is super nice and tolerant here. You like High School Musical, so be it! (Just an example folks...) You like picking your nose in public, GREAT. Ok, ok, so those are horrid examples. But you get the picture. The first day I came up here years ago I was amazed at how many friends I made...
I am at the end of my second year here. So I guess that makes me a sophomore!! I'll be honest. I hate school. I LOVE to learn, but I hate doing it structurally. I guess I'm just at a point where my social life is at the top of my priority list. So we'll see where my life goes...
I'm truly sorry all this was probably kind of borig, but I had to get most of it out of the way. From now on, I'll make a promise to write about random things and make it SHORT.
Ahh let the good times begin! I'm excited!
The end. And the Beginning. :) :)
