i'm back.
i hope everyone had a really great Christmas.
i realized to my horror tonite that "Big House" wasn't on my computer. this has been taken care of.
i'm pretty bored. so much so i cleaned my room today. and re-genre'd my iTunes.
i know, its awful. but please don't send me back to school yet.
i think God's trying to tell me something. whatever it is, i didn't find it whilst cleaning my room. or re-genre'ing my iTunes, for that matter.
i think i'll watch a movie tonite.
here's a really great Sanctus Real song.
"After Today"
After today I'll get me out of this place
Into the world so I can set a new pace
Seems I'm on my own from here
I've gotta face so many fears
Won't You lay me in Your hands of grace
I've got a funny feeling that I'm gonna go away
Gonna face my future, gonna try to make the grade
I've got a ways to go from here and vision doesn't seem so clear
But praise God He's got a plan and understanding isn't my place
After today I'm gonna come face to face
With a new world who knows I'm feeling this way
I've got a ways to go from here
I'm gonna overcome these fears
Still I'm gonna need Your hands of grace
I'll be a bigger man... I'll pray a bigger prayer... I'll dream a bigger dream...for today.

i'm shocking. just to let you know.
if you happen to see me walking towards you, shuffling my feet on carpet with a devious grin on my face, run away.
thats not the best introduction to what i'm going to say.
so, i've been reading Blue Like Jazz, which you should read if you...well, you should just read it. it's very good.
it posed a challenge to me which i would like to share with you.
the author talked about not having a negative thought about anyone for a week.
i think this is an interesting idea. noting the fact that as humans we are flawed, is there any way that this is possible? perhaps after years and years of practice and striving to not let a negative thought enter your mind. then again, maybe you could do it next week.
i think i'm going to try this.
however, not saying I will, because i will admit to the fact that it probably will not be a successful week, but what if someone could do it. what do they do then? congratulate themselves and continue to do it? what do you think of yourself then? i'm sure it would be very easy to think "oh, i see that i am a rather spiritual person, yeeeah for me! i guess i must be more holy than other people." of course, that thought alone kicks you right back to where you started. it wasnt a negative thought about other people, it was a overly positive thought about yourself.
which is worse?
anyway, i guess i'm still trying to figure stuff out. maybe i need to read more.

i slept in pretty late today. it was really nice. then my mom called me and asked if i could find anything for lunch.
"oh yeah, i'll find something."
then i proceeded to eat cereal as my breakfast.
i did stay up late though, and there was a good reason. i needed to think. so i wrote, layed on my bed, contemplated life, and felt satisfied. i realized that i am...
A) A control freak. I go nuts when situations are out of my control. This can be a bad thing.
B) Ben Fold's Annie.
anyway, please enjoy my snow picture found below. because it snowed yesterday. but no snow days for me! i get to sleep in even later! haha
oh yeah....
go buy the Napoleon Dynamite DVD out today and check out his skills!
heh heh.

i should probably be in bed.
i have two words for you. sug. ar.
making Christmas sweets is probably not the best thing for me. chocolate is very tempting for me, especially when it is in convenient bite-size pieces. ugh...ready for another fat day tomorrow.
speaking of tomorrow, which, i will point out once again as a cliche, is actually today. but i dont have to get up at 8 to go to western civ at nine! hooray!
received my second Christmas present today. my first was the Jeremy Camp worship cd, and the second was the latest Jeremy Camp cd.
if this was all, i would be content and happy.
was really cold today. i think it was below zero, and thats without the windchill, baby.
Welcome back to Minnesota, hun.
GAAH
have dug out my mittens, and gradually becoming used to wearing sweaters around the house, because the in-house temp is not nearly as warm as my cozy dorm room. which brings to mind some strange metaphors that are just stupid so i wont even think about them.
wow, where was i going with that
played some Nintendo in the past couple days, and i actually beat my sister in smash brothers! we will ignore the fact that she got more knockouts. but me beating her never happens!!
heh heh, i'm ready for a comment smackdown ang.
Ilana draws a mean stick person.
ouch, the corners on this computer desk are really sharp. i may bleed.
i'm so excited, i have 72 Christmas songs on my iTunes right now. i might delete some of them, just because i dont like them like "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" by Aaron Neville, or "Go Tell it On the Mountain" by...ANDY GRIFFITH?!?! but its nice to have a whole bunch of Christmas music. it may have been more beneficial a month ago, when Christmas seemed like a mere distant thing.
also, since i've been home, ive added about 300 songs to my iTunes library, up to 1414 tracks. dont really know what i'm doing, just putting some songs on there that i will hopefully listen to.
OH. i finally got my hands on the one and only MMHMM by Relient K. its awesome. i dont know what else to say. just listen to it.
ok, so i just finished listening to the "Go Tell it On the Mountain" by Andy Griffith, and it's not that bad. if you like the twangy, cowboy-esqe song. now back to jeremy camp. :-)
is it just me, or does Christmas promote a romantic, gawd-i-need-a-significant-other feeling even more so than Valentine's day?
it has greatly saddened me that Lemmings, the way-cool-old-skool DOS version, will not run smoothly on my computer. OOOOAAAAAAHHHHHwhywhy??
maybe this is a good thing, as bobbing little men with green hair will always appear much more attractive than homework.
that's it. nothing deep. maybe now i can go to bed despite all of this sugar running through my blood, if i dont have nightmares of where the fat content from it will settle.

i watched the worst tv show EVER, thanks to my sister.
never watch "who wants to date my mom" on mtv because its impossible to watch the entire thing without puking.
the whole basic thing is this 19 year old kid takes three moms on dates, then picks their daughter that he liked the best.
these moms are, if you have ever seen Mean Girls, worse than Regina's mother. which is saying a lot, i think.
one mom had boobs the size of Texas and she wore this tiny little tank top.
and the whole show is so scripted and the people are bad "actors."
case in point...
HORMONAL CRAZED BOY: So does your daughter like animals?
DITZY MOTHER: Well, she used to keep lizards as pets.
HORMONAL CRAZED BOY IN "INTERVIEW STYLE SHOT": Ah, reptiles, eh? I'd like to show her MY snake.
whatever. of course, now the question comes up as to why i watched the whole thing. i guess it's kinda how my english teacher last year described stuff, "its like a train wreck, you can't look away."
anyways, finals are over, and i am at home, sluggish internet and all. but thats ok. i have my lovely computer here, and that helps.
however, it is one of the strangest feelings when you are at home and feel like you are imposing on your family.
i'm sure it will be ok.
another thing, finals are over. yesssss. and so are my papers, even though i emailed my western civ professor my correction of my last paper two nites ago.
hey, he said it was ok!
now i am presented with all this free time. its fantastic. i played the Sims 2 yesterday! its captivating.
well, i dont have THAT much free time, i work tonite. gotta go get some food before i party it up!
thats right, work=party.

i'm taking a break. from western civ, what else?
i wish there was a way that i could get myself to intensely study, without being incredibly distracted. not only would i get a whole lot more done, i would spend fewer inefficient hours seated at this desk.
nevertheless, my last final is in about 16 hours, the hellish Western Civ.
should i be more worried? because my panic reflex has not kicked in.
yet.
anyways, i think i'll stop talking about western civ, because i talk about it enough, and i'm sick of hearing myself talk and complain about it.
and for the bazillionth time, i remind myself that its almost over. seriously, this is my last nite in college for 2004.
stupid recollections, but who cares. i remember standing in front of my mirror in the way early hours of January 1st, 2004, like i usually do in the new year I looked myself in the eye and told myself this was going to be quite the year.
which it has been.
thanks to all who have made it so...i believe you know who you are.
soon i'll go home. and then i will probably have more revelations about the place we call home, because it seems more emotional and more clear each time i go back. its the place my family is so happy to see me and i get a feeling of love that i haven't felt before. its a place where i can return to what i thought i was and consider who i should be. its a place where i can see my friends that i dont see every day and dont eat dinner with all the time and i cant just walk down the hall and see. i'll be...home.
the insanity of the past week has been beyond me, i dont think i'll ever figure it out. i dont think i'll try. what is today anyway, monday?
that was scary. i almost lost the post.
a note about the quiz thing in the last entry: those things are freaking addicting. i will not tell you how many i took, heh heh.
anyways, my break is about over, so i should get back to homework, and i also need to get some sleep. to all my AIM buddies, i've been off all day A)Because i havent been at my computer much today anyways and B)I have to finish studying up for....well, you know what.
i've been contemplating a song for the post, which i have been doing more frequently than before, but hey, its my blog and i'll do what i want. i could put the ben folds song in (which, by the way, meg, is the quite incredible "Still Fighting It") but when i was typing a few paragraphs back, this song came to mind:
"Clear" by Watashi Wa
I rhyme of time when all we knew was love
With bread and wine, friends by your side,
And time beneath your glove.
You dream of time like that to always stay,
But no soon day would ever stay,
And tunes will always change.
But you’re always here and your touch is near,
and you're sound, so sound,
you’re always clear, so clear,
your voice it’s clear,
you're sound, so sound.
Now feel the times when all we knew was pain
Where loved ones hearts were locked by scars,
And soon their name has changed.
But these are times when soon you’ll see what came.
In all this pain there’s wholeness found
In One who stays the same.
He’s always here and his touch is near,
And He’s sound, so sound,
He’s always clear, so clear,
His voice it’s clear,
He’s sound, so sound.
Oh…
The pain, such lessons in such pain
Such hope in so much pain
How can I call this pain?
You’re always here and your touch is near,
And You're sound, so sound,
You’re always clear, so clear,
Your voice it’s clear,
You're sound, so sound.

ow ow!
i cleaned up my desk tonite...man oh man.
i'm gonna play a song for you, its by ben folds. i listened to it REALLY for the first time today...and then i had to push the rewind button just so i could hear it again. JUST so i could hear it again, because its that amazing.
my window howls, when you open it a weird way.
its kinda funny, don't you think, how when we go away from God and make our own decisions, not doing what He wants, that something is quite possibly out of His control? but it can't be, it can't be...something out of God's control?! what i do?! i hate to think it, it can't be true...something that has been screaming itself around my head for weeks.
i dont think anymore, i cant just sit, and think.
AND SO ENDS THE LONGEST WEEK OF MY LIFE.

ok. this has been a weird week.
why? i'm not really sure.
ITS JUST BEEN WEIRD. AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. NOTHING SEEMS TO BE THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. ODD STUFF KEEPS HAPPENING. STUFF ISNT GETTING DONE. ITS FREAKING ME OUT. IN AN EXTREMELY SOLITARY WAY.
i had a dream last nite. some guy wanted me to work for the government. and i coulnt resist his delectable offer. he signed me up and everything. i was gonna leave the country in two days. i had to pack up my stuff, keep my identity hidden. contact him through email and instant messenger. then i realized i wasnt ready to go at all. my suitcase wasn't packed, i had no idea what i was supposed to be doing, or why i was leaving in the first place.
then i woke up. and i could honestly not remember if i had really signed up for it. was i really supposed to leave the country tomorrow? did i have three emails from him on my computer? was i going to be in trouble with the government? it took me about a half hour to convince myself that the dream in its entirity was not reality.
i think this is telling me that i am totally unprepared for what is to come.
and i'm listening to five iron frenzy today, which means that i am in a mood to explode.
maybe i need to get out of this 15'by15'by10' box.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
why? i'm not really sure.

"breaking my fall" jeremy camp
So easily I fall, so easily you reach your hand out
So quickly will I drown, in all the pools of all my reason
So easily will I fear, so easily will your peace surpass me
So quickly will I trust, in anything I think is worthy
How many times you make the waves calm down
So I won't be afraid now
I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I supposed to do?
How precious are your thoughts
The way that you think about me
How faithful are your ways
I always feel you grace abounding
How quickly will I call
How quickly will you answer my cry
How carefully will you bring everything I need in my life
How many times you make the waves calm down
So I won't be afraid now
I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I supposed to do?
This narrow road I'm walking,
This world will I try to draw
Your work will help me fight it
With you I'll face it all
I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I supposed to do?
So easily I fall, so easily you reach your hand out
So quickly will I drown, in all the pools of all my reason
So easily will I fear, so easily will your peace surpass me
So quickly will I trust, in anything I think is worthy
How many times you make the waves calm down
So I won't be afraid now
I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I supposed to do?
How precious are your thoughts
The way that you think about me
How faithful are your ways
I always feel you grace abounding
How quickly will I call
How quickly will you answer my cry
How carefully will you bring everything I need in my life

hello.
tonite was fun. i organized something, it came together, and went oh so well.
i had a party! well not really, several of my gal pals and i hung out in my room and played Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture (which we STINK at, btw) for two hours, then watched Love, Actually, only one of the best movies ever. and i definitely loved the "OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!" coming from Meg's direction every ten minutes or so.
and i was so excited while i was cleaning up after everyone had up and gone and i discovered that today was only friday. FRIDAY! i still have a whole weekend ahead of me!! haha, see what i say sunday nite...
it was another exciting thing when i discovered i only have two days of classes next week! the challenge is getting ready for those!! then i have wednesday, thursday, and friday with ZERO class!! wahoo!!
what the hell am i going to do with myself?!
ha, oh right, study for those little test things called finals
perhaps that will make me feel Christmasy. probably not, and i have no idea how i got finals to seguey to Christmas. but honestly, i have not been feeling it lately. however, my RA, the greatest EVER and put lights up in our hall (and turned the hall lights off so its illUminated!) and a Christmas tree in our bathroom with presents for us!!
of course, Love, Actually is a Christmas movie too, which was nice. and i am easing myself into the Christmas songs. Mariah Carey's rendition of "All I want for Christmas is YOU!" has been drifting through the halls here ever since I got back from Thanksgiving break. which i like, but whatever.
drunk boys are really silly. i think its really funny how drunk people remember names and how many drinks they had when they are drunk. at least in my experience with drunk people.
well, i was going to do some homework before i went to bed, but i think i'll just pop my nitetime cold medication and drift off for a few hours. but please enjoy the pictures of my hall as much as i am enjoying the real thing -- if thats even possible :-)
tonite was fun. i organized something, it came together, and went oh so well.
i had a party! well not really, several of my gal pals and i hung out in my room and played Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture (which we STINK at, btw) for two hours, then watched Love, Actually, only one of the best movies ever. and i definitely loved the "OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!" coming from Meg's direction every ten minutes or so.
and i was so excited while i was cleaning up after everyone had up and gone and i discovered that today was only friday. FRIDAY! i still have a whole weekend ahead of me!! haha, see what i say sunday nite...
it was another exciting thing when i discovered i only have two days of classes next week! the challenge is getting ready for those!! then i have wednesday, thursday, and friday with ZERO class!! wahoo!!
what the hell am i going to do with myself?!
