A Really Good Quote

The other day I pull up my iGoogle page and on it was the quotes for the day. It read,

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.
Christopher Morley

Is that not something to think about? Why do we always try to be like "everyone else?" Why do we go buy the clothes that "everyone else" is buying? Why do we do what "everyone else" is doing? Why do we listen to what "everyone else" is listening too? I don't know about ya'll but I'm NOT "everyone else!" I'm Darria! When are we going to stop moving like robots and be who God created us to be? Everyone can't be a follower...someone has to lead...

Last night was a fairytale....

Ok so I changed a little lyrics in the title of this post. If anyone knows Taylor Swift's song "Today Was A Fairytale" then you immediately caught that....for all those that didn't know the song....well then Here it is!

But back to why "Last Night" was a fairytale...I went to prom last night with a guy named Sam. We had the absolute best time! I told ya'll in my last post that we would but I didn't have any idea that we have THAT much fun! We danced to practically all the songs they played...unless of course we were thirsty or just really really hot. He twirled me to "Carolina Girls" and if there WAS a contest going on (there wasn't) we won! But he treated me like an abosolute princess! :) He opened every door I went through and helped me get out of the car and everything! I'll post pics of us when we get them uploaded and eveything...but I HAD to come up here and tell ya'll allllllll about it! It was the time of my life! Thanks again Sam... :)

PROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and some other stuff....but mainly prom.

So to go ahead and get this out in the open...MY school isn't having a prom ('member I'm homeschooled?). But that doesn't mean I can't get asked to go to another one. I'm telling you this because when I told one of my friends he said, "Homeschool has a prom?!" hahahahahha......Yeah its going to be a prom that consists of three people...funnnnn......hahahahahahah

Anyways.......we aren't having school today due to hair and makeup. I'm sooooo upset! Gosh..... ; ) I have some reallllllllly thick curly hair. So we have to straighten it, to curl it. I know awkward setup. But it works! I'm trusting my stylist...who also happens to be my cousin, Sharon Godley. (She does great work! you can see my hair down at the end of this post) Down here in the south, everyone is kin. And if you aren't? No worries. We'll make you feel like you are. We will make you milk the cow, and feed the chickens, and pick the veggies out of the garden so you can eat. Ok....we don't have chickens or cows....but we do have a garden. But we won't make you go eat out of it for breakfast. We have a pantry. Ok off subject.......

Back to prom. I'm going with my best friend, Hannah's, older brother. Who's name is Sam. We are gonna have fun because we are fun people. We can turn a walk through a graveyard to the funnest thing you've ever done in your life. Its just how we are... : ) hahahahaha so as you can tell I'm just a 'little' excited.

Moving on...so this week was revival at my church. The guest preacher's name was Craig Hagan. He was reallllly good.....Tuesday night my preacher, Mr. Bob. asked me to sing Thursday night. This means that I had to find two songs to sing and practice them in less than two days. No pressure...right? Wrong. I freaked. Not in front of him. I was cool, calm and collected. So I decided to sing "Cannons." (You can hear the song HERE!) And "Go Light Your World." (You can here this one RIGHT HERE!)

The work of Sharon Godley.My pretty pretty prom dress!

That's ALL folks!

What I'm all about...

If anyone is wondering how I got the name "Heaven is Gain," I will tell you right now. I am a big fan of the smell of Gain Original Fresh. Not Gain Spring Lavender or any other kind. I like to keep things old school with the ORIGINAL scent. I am known to run down the detergent aisles at Wal-Mart in search of my beloved Gain. If they come out with a perfume that smells like Gain, you can bet your bottom dollar, I will be first in line to buy it.
I'm also a Christian. I love Jesus with everything that I have in me! So its kinda a play on words...Heaven is Gain (like the detergent) and Heaven is gain (like gaining eternal life). Get it? If you don't that's ok. I'm not going to sue you. Or chase you down with german shepherds. Or lick all your silverware. Or spit in your milk...
Now for me. I'm gonna tell you about me. My name is Darria (it's pronounced DARE-E-UH). Lots of people mispronounce my name. It doesn't really bother me. But I thought that if you are going to be reading this blog, you should know how to pronounce my name. Anyways...I have a brother named Anderson who is eleven and a sister named Finley who is eight. I love them to death! My mom's name is Faith and my dad's name is Andy. Again, I love them. Wouldn't trade 'em for all the boxes of Gain in the world! I love to sing and read. My favorite author is Jenny B. Jones. She is absolutely hilarious! I don't really have a favorite singer/band...I like pretty much all types of music so its kinda hard to choose just one...and if I named them all, we would be sitting here till the cows came home (I don't know where the cows have been).
I guess that's enough for now...
