Sunday, April 13, 2008 - "i made a wish on a shooting star once but it's been so long..."

"...never did believe it till you showed up there and proved me wrong."

okay. wow. emotionally draining day. i just need to relax... breathe... chill... ahhh.

so, this morning... the church officially welcomed the new members into the church. which was a total thrill for me... cuz i'm an official Nazarene now, i guess. i don't know, thrilling, i guess. it feels a lot more like a family than before, and that's saying a lot. a lot, a lot, a lot... yeahhh. and then, to top that off, i came home from church and took a nap! lol, yeah, you didn't get that...

and then this afternoon... kristi [emma's mom] decided that she needed to use me to put emma's little sister's music on her mp3 player. becauuuuse, i dunno why. but i got a little fired up about that. see, if sara had come to me and asked for me to do it, no problem! but kristi told emma to ask me. and it ended up getting worked out, but i got fired up for nothing and made me a tad irritable. && i guess it made me feel a little useless for a while.

tonight, now, that's another story. tj and jacob were being... weird. not good weird. long story short, tj was being a jerk, enough of one for emma to snap at him. which is saying a lot. emma is very, very non-confrontational. i've heard her yell twice. ever. if that many times... i can only think of one, but i'm guessing there has to be another. anyway. she's always telling me "it's just tj" when i rant about him. and so him being bad enough for her to yell means he was being awful. just annoying, immature, disrespectful, down-right rude. but enough to make me mad... and it made me even madder that he made emma mad.

gahh. now. wow. i need to breath, relax... uh-huh.

on a lighter note: i found a girl today who's thirteen... and has to be one of the smartest girls i know. wow. some of the things she said were pretty darn amazing. ^^ scaryy.

rant over. i hope.

Thursday, April 10, 2008 - "you're a God-send..."

so i did this randomly, and wasn't gonna post it, i was just bored. but then i was so amazed and in awe that everything started with either G or H... until i realized my mp3 player wasn't on shuffle, just play all, so they were alphabetical anyway. lol. so i'm going to do it twice...

Directions: 1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media player, ect. on shuffle or random.

  2. For each answer press the next song button, YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!

1. How would you describe yourself? Godsend by DC Talk [arrogant, much??]

2. What do your friends think of you? Gone by TobyMac [great... are these friends or ex-friends??]

3.  What do you think about often? Gone by Switchfoot [well at least it makes sense.]

4. What do your parents think about you? Gone Remix by TobyMac [wow... that makes a bit of sense] && since that song's kinda already been used... trying this again: Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen. [no comment?]

5. What do you want to be when you grow up? Good Vibrations by Beach Boys [wow. like that makes sense... "i'm pickin' up good vibrations"]

6. What do you think when you see the person you like? Grey by Barlow Girl [what the heyy?? they've all started with a G]

7. What do you think of your best friend? Hammer To Fall by Queen [um... why??]

8. What do you think of the person you like? Harder Than the First Time by Barlow Girl ["i walked with you, just like we've done for so long..."]

9. What song will they play at your wedding? Hate by Plain White t's [oh, gosh... yeah, talk about starting a marriage off on the right foot... haha]

10. What song will they play at your funeral? Head on Collision by Hawk Nelsen [maybe that's how i've died?]

11. What is your biggest fear? Head Over Heels by Switchfoot [they've all started with G or H...]

12. What is your biggest secret? Headlong by Queen [still.]

13. What do you think of your friends? Heard That Sound by MxPx [wow... H or G..]

and now, using shuffle:

1. How would you describe yourself? Hey There, Delilah by PWT's [i think of myself that way? isn't that, like, narcissism... and impossible since i can't be that far away from myself anyway...]

2. What do your friends think of you? Your Owls Are Hooting by Showbread [riiight.]

3.  What do you think about often? One Vision by Queen [that song has a creepy intro...]

4. What do your parents think about you? Faking My Own Suicide by Relient K [wow, really? my mom thinks that song's morbid.]

5. What do you want to be when you grow up? Help Me, Rhonda by Beach Boys [that makes zero sense.]

6. What do you think when you see the person you like? Courage by Superchick [ahhh. the last time i did it it made more sense. kinda.]

7. What do you think of your best friend? Bring 'Em Out by Hawk Nelson [not arguing...]

8. What do you think of the person you like? Everything You Ever Wanted by Hawk Nelson [err... it works, i suppose]

9. What song will they play at your wedding? The Great Divide by Scott Stapp ["you set me free to live my life you became my reason to survive the great divide, you set me free"]

10. What song will they play at your funeral? In The Light by DC Talk [makes sense.]

11. What is your biggest fear? Breakfast by The Newsboys [wow... so. am i afraid of hell or actually breakfast??]

12. What is your biggest secret? Wonder by Superchick [so my biggest secret is that i just fell head-over-heels for some random guy who doesn't know my name? "dear diary, i saw this guy at the show, he was singing to me, at least i think so... i have waited my whole life for the day i am his, i just know he's the one-der what his name is!" lol]

13. What do you think of your friends? Drowning by MxPx [haha. i feel like drowning? is that their fault?

Tuesday, April 8, 2008 - "don't wanna be you."

i do wish to inform you... every single one of you... that my life is better than yours. [= mmhmm. now i feel like i'm bragging. well, guess what? I AM! heh. yeah. i'm happy tonight, and i do intend to be happy for the next fifty gazillion years... plus. yes, i'm happy.

i feel like singing. actually, i am singing. yeah, wow. so... i definitely like good charlotte all of a sudden again... kinda weird. i haven't listened to them in forever. buuut, yeah.

Thursday, April 3, 2008 - "you're gonna miss this, you're gonna want this back, you're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast."

so. let's see. i'm having an amazing day for no reason... no, not true. loud country music, talking to kasey, finally have lockin plans... enough to make my day happy. i love the radio. ♥

i have to go clean the fellowship hall again tonight, and i'm even looking forward to that. that means caffeine and more loud music. yay!

and saturday, i have a quiz. personally, i'm not feeling very optimistic about this. i have to make the top five, and i'm not so sure i can. if i don't, i'll start studying luke and get a head-start for next year... if i do? i'll die of shock. xD

and then the saturday after that is kevin's quiz, which i don't normally go to, but i think i'm going to this one. yeah.

i dunno why i'm blogging right now. i just feel like i could do anything... it's an amazing feeling. =] i love it. most definitely.

Sunday, March 30, 2008 - "she's so calm, yet so confused, she don't know she's being used."

i am so good, you bet! twice in a week?? how often does that happen?

so, i guess first i was just really excited about this morning. [= in sunday school opening there were actually kids i didn't know... and we had all three of our pews filled [we could have scrunched together and gotten more, of course, but i'm grateful for what we had] and it was exciting. especially 'cuz Madison [i will not forget her name again!] and her brothers came back. yepp.

and then, go figure, i had to sing... cuz Bob was sick. darn him. =[ not that i should complain or anything, because i really am very glad that i got to sing again.

anyway. uhh. tonight will be interesting. but i choose not to tell you why, because that would involve a lot of explaining on my part. yeah, and i'm horribly lazy and want to avoid that.

so, yesterday was radd. um... yeah. i'm not even going to spend much time on that, because once i start i probably won't be able to stop and, yeah.

i think now i am going to go read my new Ted Dekker book... which i'm afraid to do because once i start i know i'll devour it, which i don't want to do. i would love to make it last... but i think that's just not gonna happen and i should just get used to it. =/
