Pressing On - Randomnemity

Jul. 10, 2007 - Randomnemity

I haven't had a nice random post in a while... I think it's about time, don't you?

First off, It was just about 3 weeks ago that I hit 600 comments. And now, I'm 22 comments away from 700. By this post, and my 700th comment, that will add up to an average of 10 comments per entry. Not bad... *strokes chin* Plus, I'm just a little over 800 hits to get to 7,000 views on my site meter. Fun fun! I love statistics. :)

I've decided to pursue music, as a second passion. This one I shall teach myself. My first earthly passion is ballet, first and foremost, but now, I am taking up the art of guitar, and shall buy my very first electric this week. :) I don't know exactly what I want, but I'm leaning towards a Gibson - which is expensive, but I'm prepared to spend the $600+ I've saved for it. :) In the future, I'm going to buy an acoustic too. A family I know may sell me their old one, since they have two. *shrug*

... I think I'm starting to get a little homesick. I love my job, working for just three days a week, but I don't get to go home and see my family for three days. The first month and a half, it was great, but now I'm missing my mom's hugs more often, and my doggy's kisses when he wakes up in the morning. It's a little better this week, because my mom came to see me this morning, and brought me a wonderful frappicino from Starbucks. Yummy! Then we sat and talked while I slurped my drink and the kids were all doing random, quiet things. She said I have it good here, and I agree, but I miss my bed, and my posters, and my dog, and my family... *sniff* Only one more day and I'll be going home. :) Yayness!

On a more serious note, I'm struggling a lot with grace and forgiveness... old grudges are popping up with fresh anger, and I'm ready to go learn how to wrestle, or box, or something. I was going to learn fencing, but that option was taken away when my parents realized I might actually hurt someone. So it's a little rough, living here at work on my own, trying not to yell at the computer in anger in front of my Princess, who is only 4. Even Andy (whom I've written about before) has noticed a couple times my more grumpy *cough* attitude. And these are not grudges against myself; these are old things that people have said about my family. And I'm totally ready to blow my top and become that evil dictator I'm meant to be. haha. No, jk. I'm just praying that God will grant me the patience I need and the grace to deal with these people in a silent, reserved manner, and let Him deal with them on judgement day. *sigh* So... any time, God! You know I'm ready whenever you are! :)

Oo... I can definitely understand what you're feeling at this time. I was housesitting for almost 2 whole weeks, and I really got homesick. Not only that, but I was lonely. It's not fun when you have two schnauzers for your company.. and no pug. It's miserable. I missed my puggy's snoring SO BAD!
Yeah, I know how you feel. My problem right now is rejection. I've always been the one who was rejected. No matter how hard I tried to improve my shortcomings, I was never good enough for my two best friends and their parents. I'm trying to forget about it since I've moved on with my life, but it's hard to escape from, ya know? *sigh*

Yes, my pug is delightful! He's a pure angel! O:) Well, maybe not ALL of the time..

Emma,
I'll pray for you about that!! I struggle with forgiveness, too. It's a pretty hard thing to let down your grudges and get over it. So - know that you're not alone, and I'll keep ya in my prayers! =)
