Someone's car went boom before school...right after he got out of it. I love it when it rains really hard and then right when you open the door to your car to make a mad dash to the school- it stops.

Also, still no news on my sister! I will let you guys know what's going on when I hear something! I love ya'll!

i understand that many use this site as a public journal or a message board to talk to friends, but i beg that you consider the words below and take them to heart because in this world we live there are people who are hurting and searching.

the murder of San Francisco DA's wife was most likely done by a neighbor who apparently is satanic and the news this morning have called it inexplicable.  but i can explain for you right now.  we live in a time when materialism is the rule (bear with me, i know i talk about this a lot). 

have you ever wondered why books called the purpose driven life and your best life now are #1 sellers?  it's because people are searching for a purpose in their life and an ideology that says we are but accidents from blind events cannot help them.  but we can help them. 

i encourage every one of you to seriously consider these words and think of at least one person you can reach out to.  let's bring this hope to the schools, neighborhoods, coffee shops, malls, wherever.  just please don't let these words wash over you.

     It seems I'm a bit confusing. I send out strange signals and wierd vibes. People catch onto these things and get confused. I never knew that I had this effect on people, but several of them have brought it to my attention. By "several", I mean seven. Seven people have directly told me these things. If seven people had the intestinal fortitude to approach me about this, how many more are sitting back, just watching and wondering?
     At first, I doubted. Surely, their reception was skewed. Surely, I would know if I was sending out rogue signals. But more people shared their thoughts. Now I wonder. Seven people, all sharing similar perceptions, can't all be wrong. How am I doing this? I'm sincerely looking for answers here.
     No matter what the context, my last wish is for someone, much less seven people, to mistake my intentions or the direction I pursue. I desire transparency. If anyone should examine my actions and speech, they should be able to know what I'm about.

What am I doing wrong? How do I fix it?

On to a lighter subject...
Boy I wish I had a digital camera. I would love to show you a picture
of linux booting on teh pod (my ipod). I have way more functionality
and customizability (I made up this word). Of course, I can't play my
iTunes downloads cause of all the DRM control, so I dual boot between linux
and the apple OS.


On to more important stuff...
Tonight (Friday night) is the Belle Aire Men's Conference. Free catfish
dinner, Brother Dean and Vance Pittman speaking, music by Nathan and
the gang... it's going to be awesome. All the college guys are invited.
Bring a friend. Totally free. Everything starts at 7:00pm in the AO
space.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!! God is amazing! Here's a story to rock your world...it has mine!!! Tonight we had a worship meeting and then this guy got up and was talking about how they wanted to raise $25,000 for India for some kinda house or something! And anything extra would go to some other building they would do later!! And course in my mind I thought $20,000....and I was like "No, ok...God, you can do this! Bring in the money! You're going to do it!" We were still worshiping....then they anncounced...$46,465!!!!! Ahhhhh!! Were people done giving!? Heck no!!! By the end there was $53,154...and maybe a little more!!! HOW AMAZING!!!!!! That's not even the end, the man got up there and said that a girl came up to him and told him that God gave her a picture of Buddha! And then told her, that eventually India would be known as a CHRISTIAN country!!! No longer have buddhism, but Christian!!!! CRAZY!!!!! Awwww!!! Wow!!! Kinda makes you realize you don't have to worry about how God will provide, but know that He will!!! I mean...this isn't something that happened in hours ya'll! This took like 30 min. if not less!! So my $2,000 that I still need...doesn't look so big anymore! lol! Anyways ya'll...I just wanted to share! I love ya'll tons!! Talk to you soon!! Stay Strong...stay faithful!!

the other day the question of tattoos came up in a group forum to which i'm subscribed.  i posted the following and thought it interesting enough (though barely so) to include on my page:

i have no problems with tattoos.  i have a crown of thorns and ichthus around my left ankle.  our bodies are indeed temples of God and our lives sacrifices to Him.  but i don't see how a tattoo in itself could possibly be "defiling" the temple that is my body--in any way making it impure or unclean.  especially after jesus taught so clearly that it's the "inside of the cup" to which we ought to pay attention.

in leviticus 19 the children of Israel were told not to cut marks in their skin for the dead (tattoos).  this is one requirement given to them by Yahweh that, when obeyed, would set them apart from the other nations of the world.  it comes just after "thou shalt not trim your beard" and "don't eat meat with blood in it."  i think it's funny that people try to bind the tattoo law but not the others.  we ought to see that what we bind has been filtered through the lens of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.  instead we look to the scriptures to further prove our already existing opinions....  eh, we're humans.

wow... if the title doesnt say enough... ok so basically... this is my weeks layoutso far... monday was basic school... nothin big... i was supposed to hang out with Nicole after school but that didnt go thru cuz she was sick... tuesday was lame... one club meeting in the morning... an announcement...school.... detention... home... the end... wednesday was cool... school... random cool things goin on there... hung out with Karla after school... we went to Jasons Deli with her parents... and OMG... her parents are the epitomy of cool... haha thursday/today was same ole same ole... it was school... made an announcement... then classes... and jensi and i were gonna hang out but she wasnt freakin at school.... what a hoe... lol... i was supposed to have detention... but ms yeager wasnt there so i didnt go and im gonna tell her that i couldnt go today and yeh... ill get it rescheduled... and hows about like EVERYONE had detention today so i kinda wish i woulda gone... ok tomorrow... friday... its gonna be freakin cool... One Club in the morning... then basic "whatever" announcement... then classes... then im skippin 6th and gonna go home with Liz and shes drivin me to STEPHEN FREAKIN TURNERS PARTAY... i cant wait... techno is the shiz.. dancing is the shiz... parties are the shiz... therefor... techno dance parties WILL BE THE SHIZ... and yeh... it think thats all... i will most definately update about the partay... The Endcall me sometime.. 556-5642five.five.six.dash.five.six.four.two.... i cant wait... techno is the shiz.. dancing is the shiz... parties are the shiz... therefor... techno dance parties WILL BE THE SHIZ... and yeh... it think thats all... i will most definately update about the partay... The Endcall me sometime.. 556-5642five.five.six.dash.five.six.four.two.

I haven't posted in a while, but I haven't really had anything profound to say. I probably still don't, but I am excited about something and it has been a while since I could say that. I'm reading "Captivating" and I must say that I had really high expectations of it when I started reading it after it had been hyped up by everyone who had read it already. It has lived up to every expectation that I had and has even gone beyond that. I'm discovering peace in my femininity and an understanding of who I am in Christ as a woman and the roles that I assume just for being a woman.

I see creation through a whole new light. One of my favorite parts of the book is when they are talking about when God made creation and how with every new thing He added to the earth, it got better and better. This means that Woman was God's final touch, His final brushstroke, if you will, to make His painting complete and perfect. This is very empowering to me. Not in a feminist, "I hate men" way, but in a way that I can see how I, as a woman, am desperately needed in the world and how the world would not be complete without me.

Another interesting part of the book is that all of the desires that women possess are the desires of God. God desires to be loved and chased after and to be desperately needed and wanted. God desires to be regarded as beautiful and captivating. God is also a jealous God, one who wants our full attention and to be regarded as special and irreplaceable. In the same way that I want a relationship with a man who loves me and chases after me and romances me, God wants that same relationship and romance from me. It amazes me to see that God created the depths of my desires to reflect His own. How special that should make any woman feel!

If you haven't noticed, I am fully enjoying learning about how and why God created women and learning to embrace all of the quirks that make me the unique woman that I am. I'm learning to be accepting of myself, inside and out, and to understand that in every woman, there is an undescribable beauty that is a reflection of God's very nature. All of this and I've only read two chapters of the book! I can't wait to see what else is in store!

Just when you thought davidangel.net would never again be updated, HARK: it has!!! I edited together one of the dumbest videos ever in honor of our fall break. Click here to see it. (or right click and save target as)

(copy n pasted from xanga)

Definitely not my night for bowling.

Siegel High School's variety show, on the other hand, was AWESOME. All of the performances were incredible. And I feel bad for singling people out, but shout outs are in order for a awesome solo by Rachel Chase and Stephen, Bekah, and Christina (and any others I missed who are welcome to throw things at me) for keeping it real, Belle Aire style. :-)

Lata.

lol ok lets try this again.

so i wrote a rather loong entry like 20 minutes ago, but of course my computer freaks out and kicks me off the internet, then it goes ahead and finishes the job by restarting completley. but thats only a minor slip up in an overall amazing day. so be prepared to be bored by my long and boring entry.....

to start.. the nashville predators are 6-0... 6-0. try to comphrehend that. because its not hitting me yet. lol if i gone insane tomorrow at any part of the day, you'll know why. well we won in a shoot out for the third game of the season. we're unstoppable in a shoot out. lol and for once kariya didnt score. he would have if he shot. but luckily, sully and zidlicky got em for us. and of course vokoun was a mountain in front of the net. but id like to step off on a side note for a second. marek zidlicky had one of the most beautiful goals ive ever seen.  his goal clinched the game. it was great. be sure to check out sportscenters top ten plays tomorrow, because i garuntee you that will be on or we're boycotting espn so says alex.

that brings up another good topic. you know ive been saying im having predators party all season. lol well up until toights its been me and... well me. BUT today being thursday and being a great day, three other people came. yeah thats right. emily, sean, and alex came to watch the game and eat chinese food. it was alot of fun. lol well to me it is, ill know if they had fun if they ever come back. lol.

on to my next topic, which is a doozy.

i played hockey today for the first time in about 8 months.

myself along with sean, alex, jeff, and matt all went to the rink today in lavergne. but it wasnt the same rink that we left. it has gotten an extreme make-over. meaning ice hockey boards, high nets for wild shots, working doors, benches that will rule when we actually get seats.all we need are goals. but that will come. it felt so great to get out there and skate fast without worrying about running into little kids. lol and to shoot. oh man.. ive missed it so much. i also got hammered in the head with a slapshot from jeff. lol without a helmet. it knocked my hat off. and i hit the ground. then my teeth went numb. but i was all good. got a penalty shot from it. so im alright. then alex got caugh on top of the cage by his pants. lol it was the funniest thing ever. but we are all out of shape. lol but were trying really hard to get a team together for the spring. because if you think about it, its the last legitmate season we will have as a team. jeff really isnt supposed to play and alex will graduate this year. so we have about a line and one change. lol if you're wondering if thats difficult think running around all directions for 36 minutes straight.

well i know im forgetting something lol. its gay because tomorrow we're the only school with a half day and i wanna play again. i shall go by myself if i have to though. you can count on it.

i wished i had a camera, cause this entry would be loaded with amazing pictures from my amazing day.

psh. i think thats long enough.

variety show was fun...

went to eat with marie, brady, ruth, mary lane, jesse, nick, and jarred...that was fun too....steak n shake...dont know that i would ever go there again...yeah, lets just say, mary lane got a free meal!

night night!
 i love you soooooo much....

_rebekah


p.s. - oh yeah, so i heard about some dance team girls shootin down choir in the bathroom today...thats not cool...i mean really...i dont know...they said it right in front of a friend of mine who is in choir...so, yeah, people just need to grow up and appreciate people who actually get up there and try instead of sitting around and doing nothing...well, danceteam...but still, something that has credintials...

why do i write these?

give Kelly my tickets? It's not that easy my friends. I want cool people to come see me and hang out with me

now, what this post is REALLY about. I (think I) am seeing this guy right now. . .what's going on b/t us is really still up in the air, but anyway

I went out with him tonight, all the ideas I could come up with were bad to him so he said he was just gonna surprise me. . .ahhhhh

He took me to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and then to see Relient K, MXPX, Rufio, and House of Heroes!

I was quite happy. especially when RK came on stage. So needless to say I had a FABULOUS night out.

I know that it is not for my wonderful speech, I think I got mine from MMoses. I know that it is not because of anything that I can do well, because the only reason why I can do it is because of Him. I am of no use to Him, so why does He want me. All I can do is let Him do everything for me, we are supposed to have a servants heart but how can we compete with a God that wants to do everything for us? I am the reason that Jesus had a crown of thorns thrust upon His head. I hammered those nails into His hands and feet. And the whole time He looked at me and smiled and said 'I, the King of Heaven, Creator of All Things, The Beginning and the End, love you. We are both doing what we have to do. Those sweat drops of blood, I was thinking of you. This is only the beginning. Father forgive my brother.' I crucified my Savior, my Redeemer, my King, so it is only right for me to have to crucify myself. I made Him carry His cross with a little help from a reluctant bystander, so what gives me the belief that I can do it all by myself. He is more than willing to carry my cross for me, and carry me at the same time. And we say that life is too hard. Jesus was physically beaten, almost to death, forced to carry a cross, was denied, betrayed, all for being who He is. What have I done for Him? He did all this for all of us individually, He would have done it all for you, just one of you. Yes I know that we have pain and suffering, He knows about all of that, He has overcome all of that. And I can't find the time to talk to Him, to read what He has inspired. He knows everything about me and all I know is His name. He called me brother, but it only feels right to call Him an acquaintance. So why does He want me? He doesn't need me, He just wants to use me to tell people what He has already taught me. What does He want of you? Hasta la victoria siempre.

feeling better! thanks Patrick and Nate for tha call and text!

had a blast tonight with Jamie!!!
"go go power rangers"
"do i look hot in these boots"

After I took Zach's Star Wars test I couldn't resist taking a few others.  So here's me so to speak...

I'm also The Master Chief as a Halo 2 character but that one doesn't want to show up right.  I know it was really lame but it was fun to do lol.  Thanks for the help in figuring out how to get these to show up!

Ready to walk.

NO MO homework.

YES!

Warrior Walk is gonna be fun tommorrow.

Life is going well...

G-nite

Weekend, here I come

 - J4(()8 -

Haven't updated on here in a while......life's going pretty well.  Marching season will be over soon so I'll actually have time to SLEEP again.  Hopefully.  Well, I'll be getting more hours at work, so maybe I won't.  Who knows.  At least I won't be marching anymore.  It's weird that it's my last season.  Of course I'm feeling sad but overall it's been a great season and I'm excited my band experience is ending on such a high note. (Odd, the season where we haven't won everything is the season that I'm having the most in)  One more football game and one more competition.  ANYWAY, everything is going pretty good, school is decent.  I'm going to take the ACT for the last time on Saturday.  I was worried about it, but not anymore.  I just don't care that much right now.  (I can feel that senioritis kicking in.)  I'm failing Calculus for this six weeks, but, again, I don't care that much right now.  What *do* I care about right now?  Getting more hours at work so I can buy more music.  (Sacrificing gas money for cd's isn't really working out.)  Being able to hang out with my friends again.  Thinking about moving out of this house.  (I want to leave so badly.  And at the same time, I want to hang on for as long as possible.)

That's all.  cya later

((from the audience)) "With Jesus!!!"

Yeah. . . Allison gets quote of the night.

Siegel Variety Show '05 rocked.

Less hair.
Less sideburns.
All Kyle.

We'll call this a reinvention..

well my mouth is starting to not hurt sooo bad.

i tried to play during band, but after playing like four notes i discovered this was a bad idea. so i stopped.

and we got section of the night. with me not playing, lauren's hand dead, and erin's foot (or ankle or something) hurt.

rhody kept complimenting the our sound. the one night i wasn't playing. so what does that  say about the way i play???

it's been amazing. this is the second practice in a row we've gotten section of the night. it's pretty darn amazing if you ask me.

so mady's stupid.

well. that's about it.

i love you.

so how was my day? hmm, interesting u asked, well of course i went to another wonderful great day of school lol, yea right, but then i got home and i had to mow the yard. just a regular day.  well, i was mowing and out of nowhere i am being attacked by about 10 yellow jackets. i got stung about 10 times, and i was in a lot of pain.  gosh i hate those stupid things, i got stung 5 times behind my knee, two times on my arm, and 3 times on my other knee.  we finally figured out that i ran over a nest of them with the lawn mower, and that kinda made them mad.  so they stung me, for no apparent reason, well i guess they had a reason.  but crap! it hurt like crazy, i was breathing all hard, my cheeks turned red and so did my eyes, and i got nausiated.  wow, i really hate yellow jackets.

hmm..i'm really bored. there's nothing really going on in my life except for God being amazing. and lots of babysitting jobs. alright. well i must be going. later kids!!

moshing 4 jesus-**kayla**

here's a song i wrote.... not very long though

-------------

I'm a victim to dull, free time...

A friend who likes to make things rhyme...

Sometimes I - can think I'm bad..

When really, I'm just fine...

So lift your hands like you were CoCo...

Turn the key, and then just Go Go..

You're on this road to eternal leave..

So make this journey more than So So..

I'm here to stay................. AY!!!

----------------

First off... wow... I am IN LOVE and I AM LOVED! The Creator of the Universe cares for me so much that he has been captivating me these last couple of days with beautiful red and orange leaves. I love it! I feel like the falling leaves are a show just for me, a whisper from Him saying, "I love you so much; this is for you."

Also, I'm encountering Him in new ways. I've been a Christian for approximately 11 1/2 years, and in that time period it is very easy to kinda forget about how big and awesome God is. But lately He's just speaking to my heart and bringing joy into my life. This Wednesday I was stressing out over something as usual, and on the way to church I could hear His voice stirring my heart: "Let's talk." And just to hear Him reassure me that I have no reason to worry as long as I abide in Him... ah yeah... it was just an amazing peace.

On the way to church Wednesday night and then at church when the speaker mentioned Psalm 37:4, this question rose up within me: "What makes you alive?"

So... what makes you come alive my friend? It's a pretty deep question if you really think about it...

Other encounters today: I banged on Eddie Sally's car and nearly gave him a heart attack, I had a long talk with Jessica Goss, and Garrett and I watched a Chinese movie for extra credit (for our Understanding Mass Media class). I took a crazy write-till-your-hand-falls-off English midterm, but feel pretty confident about it. I studied geology in the library with my iPod and it made all the difference in the world. For these past couple of days I've been noticing the simple things, and those have made me feel more alive...

Last night after church I was hanging out with Garrett and Page, and they were going back and forth making fun of how big and fast and much I write, and it was just sooo hillarious. It made me feel alive.

Watching the leaves fall makes me feel alive.

An awesome photo shoot with Anna makes me feel alive.

Watching the Houston Astros celebrate their first trip to the World Series makes me feel alive.

Listening to music makes me feel alive.

Worshipping God makes me feel alive!!!

What about you?

so i think one of the most awkward moments will be is when you come back from your honeymoon or like the next time you see your parents/inlaws right after your wedding. i mean come on guys, you know thats going to be wierd.

so what do yall think a real awkward moment will be, or one that has happened to you.

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"

so i think one of the most awkward moments will be is when you come back from your honeymoon or like the next time you see your parents/inlaws right after your wedding. i mean come on guys, you know thats going to be wierd.

So today I recieved my Switchfoot tickets for their November 5th show in Athens, GA. They were addressed to my billing address in New Orleans. As you can imagine...I was pretty worried about them be forwarded to me. Well, they WEREN'T. They actually made it to New Orleans. My family no longer lives in our house there, but luckily my sister was down there for the weekend gathering some belongings, so she grabbed them out of the mailbox for me. In other Switchfoot news...


photo from JFCade

Their website states that their album has been certified Gold (sold 500,000 copies) by the RIAA. It's not on Billboard's website yet, however. Their album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 charts and is currently at #52 one month after it's release.

I don't care what anyone says...this is their best album to date. It may be darker than usual, but they are tackling issues that most Christian artists think of as taboo. They're connecting with people. Way to be, Switchfoot.

I'm predicting their next single to be Lonely Nation or The Shadow Proves the Sunshine, though it may have to many LPM's (Lords per minute) in the second verse of the song. We shall see.

Later guys. See some of you on November 5th, hopefully.

It's been one of those days that you don't want to remember, but you know that you'll never be able to really strip it from your mind. 

"I'm an enigma wrapped in a mystery, or a fool consumed by fear...."

Color is overrated.  I actually prefer old black and white movies.  Technicolor ruined my life.

Holla mi amigos and mi amigas! I hope everyone is having a
good day. Mine has been good. I am currently studying for two tests I have
tomorrow. One is a vocab test in Greek, the other is a test in art
appreciation. I am so excited about both of them haha. But yea, church last
night was so funny! I haven’t ever appreciated a dress up night as much as I
did last night. The outfits were so funny. From afros to shaq attacks to
shoulder pads haha just to name a few. It was funny. It was great to see all
the students get into it. All the way from the 7th grade up, it was cool. I
must say the milk shakes were amazing too. Sonic is amazing! haha I thought we
should of had coke suicides though haha. For those of you that ever partook in
Skate Center West, you know exactly what I am talking about! Don't deny it.....
But yea it was fun. Thanks to everyone who dressed up and stuff it made my
night go great. I hope that everyone has a great day!

In Him,

and it seems that life is falling apart at the seems.

When God Made You

It's always been a mystery to me
How two hearts can come together
And love can last forever
But now that I have found you, I believe
That a miracle has come
When God sends the perfect one
Now gone are all my questions about why
And I've never been so sure of anything in my life

chorus: I wonder what God was thinking
When He created you
I wonder if He knew everything I would need
Because He made all my dreams come true
When God made you
He must have been thinking about me

I promise that wherever you may go
Wherever life may lead you
With all my heart I'll be there too
From this moment on I want you to know
I'll let nothing come between us
And I will love the ones you love

He made the sun He made the moon
To harmonize in perfect tune
One Can't move without the other
They just have to be together
And that is why I know it's true
You're for me and I'm for you
Cause my world just Can't be right
Without you in my life

chorus:

He must have heard every prayer I've been praying
Yes He knew everything I would need
When God made you
When dreams come true
When God made you
He must have been thinking about me

A funny for today:

there were three guys named: poop, manners, and shut up. they were all riding horses when poop fell. so manners stopped and helped him. well shut up just kept on going and the police stopped him and asked for his name? so he replied: "shut up" the police were ashamed of his behavior so he asked where were his manners? then shut up said: "back there pickin up poop"

"If it's drama you want, then look no further, They're like the Real World meets Boy Meets World meets Days of Our Lives."


I've learned life's to short for drama.
Life's to short for stupid fights.
For pointless relationships.
It's to short for not trying.
For giving up.
It's definately to short for bad hair days.
Too short for sleeping half the day away.
It's to short to not tell someone how you feel.
Even if you get hurt in the process.
Life is just a blessing.
Sometimes I know I feel like
puting everyone and everything
out of my mind so I can sleep
for 18hours and wake up just to
watch Laguna Beach or The Simpsons.
I want to enjoy life.
I have the past week.
From a message from God.
To the final Practice.
From the gain of friendships,
to the cookie baking spree I went on.
I stopped cursing.
I relized how ignorant it makes you sound.
It amazes me how shallow I've been.
Life isn't about who you are with,
who talks to you.
Sometimes it's best to be around
people you love.
Sometimes it's best to be alone.
Sometimes it's just best to talk to God.
Tonights the final show for the Variety show.
I hate that it's over.
It's been so much fun.
Especially since we've been on stage.
I love the experience.
I have been blessed with true friends.
Learned who my aquantinces were.
Grown up quickly.
Seen the good and bad in people.
I've lived this week.
You know how sometimes it just feels
like the light is on inside,
and then you have those days
where it feels like there's a big
metal box on the lightswitch so you can't turn it on?
Well in my life, It's just been a flikkering light.
I have just felt like it was on all week.
Which is awesome.
I love you guys.
Keep on keepin on♥

"...
and so our adventure ends.
And some of us found our heros,
and others
conquered our fears.
And one might even say we've triumphed.
 I'm not so
sure it happened that day, or that summer,
but somehow, we all felt
older and different.
I knew I'd never forget any of it
and I decided I
wasn't going to let it end
because I realized we're not just given life experience..
we're given the experience of life..."

"I hope you don't mind, that I put down in words,
how wonderful life is, while you're in the world.."

"Never knew I could feel like this,
like i never seen the sky before.
Want to vanish inside your kiss,
everyday I love you more, and more.
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing,
telling me to give you, everything,
Seasons may change, winter, to spring,
and I love you, until my dying day..
Come what may...Come What may...
I will love you, Until my dying day."

"Take my hand, you break my heart,
I remember you most the nights we're apart
Steps and soda, stars and dancing,
every girls dream, my reality. Love in a box.
Inside jokes, and dirty thoughts,
everything we were and more,
Cute little faces, and knowing every
other word.  laughing at nothing,
being each other's everything."

Turn Around, or Total Eclipse of the Heart, as it is formally known, is an interesting song. As of this mornig, my friends and I had successfully downloaded four versions of this song. FOUR. My favorite, by far, is the remix version, although the USC Choir version comes in a close second. Sadly, though, I have no idea what in the world this song means. I really don't know why Bonnie Tyler is signing turn around over and over again. I really do not get it at all. Oh well.

And if you happen to discover exactly what she means, please, let me know.

 Hello! wow i cannot actually believe that i have one of these. I am not computer savy at all so i was pretty certain that  i wouldn't be able to get one. But, thanks to my good friend Laura, I have one now! Thanks for telling me about this Sarah!   Buh Bye <3 Brittany

ya church last night poo... o well its all good no big deal

if you were wonderingme and tylerbroke up cause no time and other stuff beyond our control ask me if you care to know more

OMG today was so funny!! I got flipped off at MTSU's parking lot....hahaha what loser does that!? Well I was getting in my car and there was a car waiting so I was pulling out so they could have it....well when I backed out a car came up behind me and then all of a sudden some girl pulled in front of the car that had been waiting for awhile...well I stopped and I was blocking the car behind me and  the rude car...I then asked the car that had been there first if they were wanting my spot and they did....so I let them have it....Well the rude lady that had pulled in front of them was so pissed....Sorry they were there first!!Well she flipped me off...oh NO SHE DIDN'T!! I went OFF on this chick!! Well when the nice car pulled into the spot I drove past the mean car and she flipped me off AGAIN!! I mean really how retarded can you be!? Well I turned left and turned left again to get to the exit and here she comes again....she flips me off AGAIN!! She then added in her horn...she was flipping me off and blaring her horn...Man she is so talented....Gah road rage is crazy!! I know because I have it but seriously that was uncalled for!! Maybe if you were there a little bit earlier maybe you could have had it!! Good grief!! Well this was not suppose to be this long but I thought it was funny and you guys should have been there. I am so proud of myself and how I handled it was just so freaking awesome. Gah good times!! You guys can probably tell my day was boring and this was my highlight...oh dang I have to go to class....JOY....Here is a tip: DON'T GO TO MTSU!!

What can I say about Bob Dylan? Well about the first time I remember
hearing anything he'd written, I was about 4 years old, and my radio
station played the Byrd's version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" alot. I LOVED
That song. I didn't understand it at all. I just really liked how it
sounded. My dad taped his 30th Anniversary concert off the TV, and one
day I watched it. I just couldn't believe the songs. He told it, and he
told it so well. His voice is so real. He isn't trying
to put anyone on, be someone he's not. He makes people listen, and
speaks to them. If I had to listen to one, and only one person's music
for the rest of my life, Bob Dylan is who it would be.

Yesterday I had an amzing race! It was awsome. I came in 2nd on the team, had a 21:09, and I came in 15th place in the race (top 30 got trophies!) Jeff put a note on my car that said that I am amazing and he is so lucky to have me in his life, but the truth is, I am lucky to have him in my life! He is amazing!

i think drei is two?

anyways, i'm in tennessee right now, staying with my slightly redneck cousins...joy. 

everybody should go listen to the elms on myspace (www.myspace.com/theelms, surprise surprise!)

and the listening (www.myspace.com/thelistening), they're even better

got a new bible today, because my dad wanted his back.  it looks like this:

hopefully that won't kill the whole screen, but oh well.

back in north carolina on friday night, joy joy...

12 weeks until we move to chicago.

Variety Show tonite! everyone must come! ^^ starts @ 7:30 (but u should prolly get there @ 7 cuz we're supposed to sell out) and tickets are only $6! i'm proud of myself for my solo in the second show this morning! ^^

"I can smile naturally about this time tomorrow
As if nothing had happened
I've always walked in such a manner
But I can't control this game as I wish"

-Ayu

I still keep my last thought but to make matters worse, i just spent the last 40 minutes of my computer class joining groups.. how lame am i? (don't answer that, as if anyone would)

The coolest thing:
I have to write a my own version of The Canterbury Tales! Using my own destination, plot, settings, and people. Sounds boring but i have to write it all in iambic pentameter, which basically is a really long poem type thing with 10 beat lines. Pretty awesome!!

Well this week has certainly turned around. i got my english mid-term back today and i got a B yay! at least im passin one of my classes. i hope i find out how i did on my Psy test sometime soon. i think i did ok, but everytime i think i did well i end up doin mediocre. but anyway i love college, at least for most days. lol, random fact for the people to know. but i will be workin the next 2 days but i hope everyone comes to the homecoming game on saturday, maybe it will be a good game. so i hope everyone has a great weekend and i will talk to you guys later! bye!

I'm not sure if you have heard me complain about the printer at my office, but it sucked. It was the most tempromental thing. I have had many a late night because of that thing not wanting to print the thing that I needed printed. So after it finally died our Adminstrative Pastor started to look for a new printer. On Monday our beautiful new printer arrived! It does color /black and white, double sided copies, punches holes, staples, saddle stich (what ever that is) and it's in our office. I no longer have to spend hours at Kinko's dealing with the mean people there who have no idea what coustomer service is. I am so excited, I printed inserts for our program yesterday and never had to leave m,y desk! It's amazing!

I went to bed at about 2 or 3 PM yesterday and woke up at 12 AM.When I woke up I was so scared that I was in tears.I had a nightmare someone was stabbing me in my chest in and out.I felt like I was in another world.I felt like I was on the movie Nightmare On Elm Street.I asked
some of my friend's when I woke up what time and day it was cause I thought it was Friday at 12 PM but it was 2day at 12 AM.That freaked me out totally all the way.

yep, that's how i feel

well my birthday is tomorrow, but i'm gonna be on a competition.  and i think it's gonna rain, but i have the coolest b-day cake...it's teenage mutan ninja turtles!!!   

This is in response to Jeff Martin's post titled "Awaken":

I pray that I would never become complacent. Having been raised in the faith, I don't want to become apathetic like so many I see. I want to be made uncomfortable. I want to be the person Paul is talking to when he said, "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling..." I realize this could be dangerous for my life (in more ways than just a beating heart). All the more reason to pursue it. This is why Paul said "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain". In life, I can serve Him; I can see "fruit from my labor". If I die, I am with the Father; I've accomplished my end goal.

There is a great speech at the end of the LOTR: Return of the King. In it Viggo Mortenson is fortunate enough to deliver the great monologue that many of the readers of this blog are familiar with. It goes something like this:

Hold your ground! Hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!

This battle cry reached from the movie screen to the hearts of the audience. I hope too that this blog will reach the hearts of the readers.

Just as Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the door on that infamous October day in Wittenberg, Germany, I pray that the Lord God of Hosts will so impress on our hearts the need for the reformation of the lives of Christians in America. However, as Luther's Theses divided the church, I pray that the reformation started in our hearts would unify our hearts together for the cause of Jesus Christ. That it would go beyond denominational walls and doctrinal issues, and it would fuse together our hearts under the banner of the Glory of Christ Jesus, to whom all praise, honor, and glory is due.

It is only in America, where a person can go to church, tithe, sing about the mercy and grace of God, be stirred by a sermon; and then continue on to a restaurant and be absolutely uncouth to their server and not think twice. It is only here in America where it is comfortable to be a Christian. Where it costs nothing to most people to follow Christ. Instead, it is nothing more than fulfilling an expected ritual whose concept of religion is completely opposite of the original intent of Christianity. It is only in the nation established Under God that Christians will ignore the open attacks against the Creator of the Universe and the Savior of our Souls because of our careful attention not to impede on anyone's right of free speech. All the while forfeiting our right to stand up and defend the one who purchased us with His blood. The one who destroyed sin and the grave at the price of His own life. And yet, we stand aside and allow the world to curse Him and call Him a fool. May God forgive us of our indifference.

What I propose is the reformation of the hearts of American Christians. May we begin to stand in the promise of the freedom of Christ our Lord. When will we begin to listen to James when he says, "Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does." We have forgotten that Christ has called us to "take up our cross" and follow Him. We have the luxury of meeting in open freedom to worship and discuss, with uninhibited passion or lack there of, of the glory of God. Have we forgotten the time when the Church had to hide for risk of death? Have we forgotten the death of the martyrs who would rather face the sting of mortality than the shame of denying the cross? May it not be so!

I say to my brothers and sisters that today is the day for our stand. Now is the time that we begin to live what is preached from the pulpit. The life that Paul described as, "worthy of the Lord." That it would begin with us, the simple few. That we would begin to "SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS". That we would begin to seek the gift GIVER and not the gifts. Will today mark the end of our slumber of apathy? Or will it instead mark the end of our confident boasting of Christ and Him crucified? By no means! I tell you that the day of our sterilization has not come! There may be a day when our children will hide in fear of reproach because of their faith, but it is not this day. Christians, I call you into action. Stand with me now without quiver.  May today be the day that is reckoned as the awakening of the American Christian!

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

--------------------------------

Who am I?

How quickly I've forgotten,
I'm lost and alone,
Who's this intruder, left fallen?

Since when did I lose myself?
Since when did I drift here?
My friends don't talk to me...
But rather I sit and I fear...

I wonder what's wrong with them,
Yet, they're mad at me for caring to ask,
It's hard for me to understand this,
On the opposite side of the looking glass...

Some think I'm annoying...
I wonder what I have to offer....
Constantly depressed... I wonder
Do I make THEM suffer?

I just wanted to see a smile,
And that would make my day,
But so often I find, that
Laughter can quickly fade away...

How much I miss the wonderful times,
When nothing seemed to matter,
And life was not full of all this
Confusing bits of "blibber-blabber"..

I'm sorry...
But are those the words to say?
Please God, help me find something from it all....

BOOO!!!!

photo from Recklessmortal

ok so im doing crappy at the whole updating thing, sorry bout that for whoever reads these. i talked to presto a few days ago!!! that was like the awesomest thing ever. hes visiting for thanksgiving break and im so glad cuz i miss him like crazy. it sucks having a best friend but not being able to talk to him when you just need someone to talk to so i basically filled him in on an entire month of spillage lol. yea, i told him a lot in emails but still...so yay, prestos visiting in a month! sandra, you're hanging with us too:-P lol, you dont have a choice. and meka is gonna make sure she gets her booty down here as well!! and you better not try and make excuses to get out of it lol. we're gonna all go do something. maybe john...:-/ i might as well give into that one if meka and presto insist...even tho the very thought of speaking to him again makes me cringe. its amazing how much i dont miss him but...do miss him at the same time. i mean i know our friendship was just...completely and utterly a disaster and that it probably never even was a friendship ever...but its like...he was in my life for 2 years, we were inseperable for one of them and then it just goes from inseperable to totally ignoring eachother and saying crap behind eachothers backs. and yea he really hated me especially when i starting going out with anthony cuz of certain reasons but then we got over it but then...it was just never the same again. i guess what i miss were the moments we had. like the special things, me, john, and cam in the suburban and cam ripping off all his clothes in the backseat and throwing them up to us lol. or like...our special brownie cake that we totally fucked up. and john is still probably the best hugger ever. but hes changed so much, its unbelievable. i guess thats what a relationship does to someone...yea, this is so confusing to everyone who doesnt know what happened but i know there are people reading this knowing EXACTLY what im talking about so i dont really care about those of you that have no clue.

last weekend was nice mostly. just some ups and downs. friday i had a weird phone convo with anthony, yea it was just very...awkward lol. saturday we fought most of the day until he got to my house to pick me up. once he came to my house to pick me up i was just like "alright, im gonna act like it didnt happen and hope he gets the idea" so it worked. i basically wanted to drop the fight cuz it wouldtn be resolved in any way. but it was resolved yesterday actually which was nice, i guess i needed it more than i thought i did. so we went and met his family up at the restaurant green garden and ate there. lol "you like to be the center of attention in groups" "its the KKK" "shes the only chinese lady with a butt" hehe yea, i could go on but whatever. then anthony drove the whole family home except his dad cuz his dad went to the football game. so we went back to his house and i had to show him this website bout jessican simpson and nick lachey splitting lol "im sure this weekend ashlee simpson will mouth an appropriately sad song on SNL for us" lol so then i told him we needed to go to my brothers house so we went there, anthonys a genius and got us lost cuz he went a different way than i know lol. so we parked the car next to the creek and went on one side of it...realized it was the wrong side and my brothers house was on the other side...so we crossed the creek. ok let me set the scene for yall...it was very dark, like 830pm or something, the creek is empty except for the bottom where theres this big muddy puddle thing all the way down it. basically like a haven for snakes and frogs. where we went down i was thinking "ok so theres tons of frogs right here, there couldnt possible be a bunch of snakes" it was really funny cuz anthony was freaking out!! i mean like...whoa, i could not calm him down cuz hes freaked out by snakes lol. i was like whatever and ran ahead of him. lol and then from behind me he goes "OMG!!!! THERES SOMETHING ON MY FOOT!!" lol i turn around and im like "omg, its a frog" lol it was funny. my shoe got stuck tho so anthony had to fish it out for me. and while he was going "omg omg omg" i was running ahead cuz i had already crossed the mud and was like "im outta here" lol hehe no i didnt leave him, no worries. but yea once we got to my brothers house our pants were all muddy and our shoes were covered in mud as well. lol. so we took off our shoes and rolled up our pants and walked in lol. we had to go over there to figure out something with my brothers computer but werent able to. i dont know if he figured it out yet or not, my mom hasnt heard anything. so yep we left there, no we didnt cross the creek again, that was dumb lol. but anthony did momentarily lose his keys and they were in his lap the whole time...i think hes losing it or something. so then we went back to his house. stayed there for a couple minutes then i had to go back to my dads house. so yep, that was my awesome saturday. then sunday sucked, i worked the whole time. and this weekend will suck, i have to work that whole time too. and saturday morning is ACT. blah. so anyway yep! just letting yall know i didnt die. byez

give it up for Wait for Daybreak!!!! (the band i'm in) we are now apart of the NewRev Studios family! they are generous enough to accept us into the family and help us and support us through our journey through the local scene. needless to say...they are the shit right now! haha. check out the site ( www.newrevstudios.com ), more from us will be with them soon...we are in the process of getting a lot of things done...so keep a sharp look out. you can also check out Wait for Daybreak at www.myspace.com/waitfordaybreak ...where we have some rough material for a little audio taste and some bio information. like i said...we're in the works with a lot of stuff...so watch out guys...something good is gonna happen.

Maybe Erin should clean out her nose once in a while....
or maybe we just shouldn't ever be allowed to work together...haha!!  Good idea Papabear!! lol   But we do know how to have fun!!

So my computer is a poo-head!  Yes I have gotten this wonderful little screen several times...and lots of random error messages.   O well. 

As I drove home from work today I was listening to my XM radio and who should I hear but Faith Hill.  The song was "Someone Else's Dream" and there was a line in it that may me realize my position in life is...

"All my life I've been pleasing everyone but me, living someone else's dream."

It isn't really all that bad being the guy that people fall back on when a relationship goes south, or when they simply need help, but sometimes I wonder when will it be my turn.  It seems as though the people that come to me eventually become happy because I was there to listen, there to take them out, there to do random stuff for them when they felt alone or simply needed stuff.  I have reached out and given money that I didn't have, time I needed for other stuff, and sometimes I just wonder when will someone do that for me. Now don't take this as me complaining because I normally offer to do these things. I just want people to be happy, but does it always have to be at my expense.  Right now, I am holding a dog for someone until she gets some stuff together, and finds a new place to live, but I don't know how long I will be keeping him, and everyone keeps asking what's in it for you...money, a date...but the truth is that I don't want anything,
Well, I sound really whining right now, so I'm off to bed for the night.

I went home for fall break last weekend.  I made guitar pick earings for my wonderful roommate for her birthday (and some more for me...lol). I played with the new sound board at church!  There are plenty of pics of it on here...lol.  And I went to the Disney Store and got some more antenna things for my car!!   O and if you've looked at my myspace, you'll notice the thing about the world figure skating championships...well Emily informed me that those were from last January.  I don't feel like updating that on myspace cuz myspace is poo.  I don't like it--Phusebox is way better!!!

Song:
Burn For You
I'm a brand new man, I'm a conscious man
I'm a man who's burnin' for you
The mistakes I've made have been chased away to the bottom of the ocean blue
I'm a brand new man in a foreign land, I'm a man who's feelin' that fire
And it's all so clear when I'm standing here at the peak of my desire

So won't you move me like you used to
I want the world to know I burn for you

I feel revived again, I am alive again
(Burnin' for you) You got me lifted and lifted you lift me up
I feel revived again, I'm energized again
(Burnin' for you) You got me lifted and lifted you lift me up

Woke up in a sweat, those ghosts in my head
Had a grip, but I slipped on by
It's a whole new day as the darkness fades
And the sun's climbing in the sky
I concede, my love, that I need your love
I'm before you, a broken man
And it's only you, no substitutes who can renew this soul again

You got me higher than Kilimanjaro
Got me believin' I can "save the day"
I'm up and running like their ain't no tomorrow
I'd rather burn for you than fade away
I'd rather burn for you than go my way

I'm a whole new guy with a whole new vibe
Changed inside – more flame in the fire
Can't stop, won't stop praying for desire
Like the bunny on the screen feel so energized
Old shell gone without a trace, new face
No more shortness of breath, new pace
Live life now without the taste of fear
TOBYMAC, Double Dutch now let the smoke clear

THE HOUSTON ASTROS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! YAY BABY!!!

Hey guys!! Well, I've had a good week! God is defiantely pouring out His blessings on my life. Hmm He's amazing!! So this was on Ashley's site and I thought.."Wow, thats so true!" So I'll share it with you...

"Find a guy that is a spirtual leader and isn't ashamed of God ever...A guy that knows how to be romantic, but doesn't smother you with always wanting to be with you.. A guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep... Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you... The one who turns to his friends and says, "That's her.'

Sigh...how cool. But anyways I just thought that was sweet. Well anyways I hope you guys have a great weekend/rest of the week. ASHLEY IS HOME!!! YIPPEEEEEEEE! Im soooo excited...she's the best big sis ever ever ever ever ever!!! Yay!! Oh and other good news....Paul caught two passes at football practice!! Im so proud of him!! So yeah..have a great weekend!!! Make Jesus your passion!

That's kinda how I feel.^

Poo Poo day. No, a poo poo week. So here's goes a big insecure typical high school girl entry that I havent written in a long time:

School stresses me out like none other. Im really thinking about dropping down to honors History instead of AP. No matter how hard I study for those friggen tests I still cant make better than a C. And this six weeks in English Im sucking realllllly bad. Ive got a 77 right now. Go me. With the 5 points its still a C. My parents will slaughter me if I dont get my grades up.

Today someone told me I looked pretty and it made me happy until they said "its one of your pretty days." implying that i have lots of ugly days. I hate how I feel like I have to please everyone. I wish I was one of those people secure enough to go to school in sweatpants and some nasty shirt.

Maybe if their werent girls around all the time that are 10 times prettier and smarter and nicer than me I wouldnt feel so bad. BAH Some girls scare the crap out of me. Im just waiting for adam to realize what a big tard I am.

I love high school but sometimes I wish I could just fast forward so I could not go through this whole "im insecure about everything" high school phase.

In other news, the variety show is tomorrow and that should cheer me up. I always like seeing the drama/choir kids dancing. fun fun fun. So good luck to you guys.

And in other other news Maria Taylor [fav. song: "Song Beneath the Song"] and Inara George [fav. song: "Infinity"] are amazing artists.

And thats about it.

   Well, I decided to head home this weekend mainly for two reasons 1) I'm dying to see Mysti and I just couldn't wait another week and 2) this camping trip that everyone is going on next weekend to Northern Arkansas sounds interesting.

   At first it sounded like a fun trip until I did a little research of my own. See while everyone else is out fishing and looking at trees and stuff; I'm going to sneak off a mere 38 miles to one of the most secluded and best parks in the nation: Silver Dollar City! Plus, they do have the #1 Coaster of 2005: Powder Keg!

   Now, I know what most of you are thinking: come on, it's camping. time to be one with the wildnerness and all that stuff. I love camping people I really do, I did it for six weeks straight two summers ago and loved every minute of it,  but I haven't been on a Coaster since June!!! I still will do all the camping stuff, but sneaking off for a few hours for a chance to go to a park I've never been to, that's a no brainer. Plus, how many times am going to be in Branson, MO during my life? Well zero is the count so far. So, I'm getting pretty excited and ready to go. And let's face it people, you're dying for another coaster video to be made :-)

  I'll make sure the pictures will be up whenever it is we get back, the trip is still a week and half away after all. And of course a video will be coming, but when is anyone's guess. Ahhh, I can feel that "Road Trip Urge" starting to settle a little...

so we had bad fad night at church tonight and we got free milkshakes! here are some pictures!


me and wilbur!



me and kelsey!



me and rebekah!



brittany, mark, rebekah, ben, and sarah



and garrett who won first place!

i got my top braces on today. and my palate expander off! that was good. but it hurt. and i made a loud noise when i heard something snap in my mouth and it all of a sudden hurt even worse. but now it's gone. and my teeth kinda hurt. but... *shrug* whatever. i just hope i'll still be able to play mellophone as well as i could before i got them. (i wasn't great, but i could at least play the music and it didn't sound completely awful.)

i saw fight club tonight. i had never seen that before. i didn't see it from the beginning, but o well.

i feel funny. especially my tummy.

i love you.

--yellowcard--

you know, i have this fear. i am afraid i wont get into college. or, i will get accepted and we wont be able to afford it. and i will have to settle. and i dont want to settle, i have big dreams for myself, and i want to accomplish so much, but i am afraid im not going to be good enough.

Man why does life have to be so disappointing??? I am thankful that i have jesus but I just wish I knew why
