umm so this one time at band camp....
August 07 2005
yeah ok pretty generic titling right? ok yeah, so this week, 9-9. not excited but hopefully it'll be ok. we got 12 sets done on Friday, discovered that my pitch on piccolo is horrendous, and got even madder at this guy. in fact i was smiting him, and he didn't even know it. :evil grin:
Brett, about yesterday you're safe from me, i'm just worried about Michael, and i'll have to talk to him about that one. :(
i've been having this REALLY weird dreams, and i have no clue where they're coming from.
ok so this is just a pointless entry but i'm basically saying that i won't be back around to the internet until at least friday night.

It's pouring rain outside.
I love it. I want to go outside.
Air is my element, but I like water more.
I'm a libra, but I'm also kinda half scorpio. I'm born 5 minutes before scorpio.
IKEA sucked yesterday. Like, I loved being there. But there's so many rude people nowadays. I yelled at a little kid. Kind of. Not really. He was staring at me and he kept saying in a sing-song voice "Look at the tiny mommy" and I don't think I look like a mommy at all. Him and his little sister were laughing. I was annoyed, so I went away and he followed me. So I yelled "Stop staring at me" I think I scared him. He went to his mom and dad.
He deserved it.
People suck. I can't stand them. Even grown-ups were staring at me. I don't understand why they look at me strange. Most of them were Indian, I don't stare at them because they look different. It doesn't matter to me, I don't know why it must matter to them.
I'm starting to like anime more.

Ghost Of The World
August 07 2005
Lyrics-Max McGonigal
Music-SilverSide
(verse 1/Intro)
I just wanna be alone
by myself, no one else
just by myself
the sadness flows in my heart
just like a knife into my soul
paranoia is tearing me apart
and in my spirit, there's a hole
and no one knows
no one sees
no one knows, but me
(chorus)
So break me down(x's 4)
(verse 2)
just a little self infliction now and then
to keep away from I fear the most
anxiety that is everything and some
with my nervous sytem on a roast
and no one knows
no one sees
no one knows, but me
(chorus)
So break me down(x's 4)
(bridge)
am I the ghost of the world(x's 6)
(verse 3)
and no one knows
no one sees
no one knows, but me
(chorus)
So break me down(x's 6)

August 07 2005
"Have you been wondering why you are going through certain circumstances? In fact, it is not that you have to go through them. It is because of your relationship with the Son of God who comes through the providential will of His Father, into your life. You must allow Him to have His way with you staying in perfect oneness with Him." Oswald Chambers
"Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, 'Be strong, do not fear; your God will come , he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you'." -Isaiah 35:3-4
Praise God even when you are going through trials. Everything little thing, good or bad, can and will be used for His glory. Even if you can encourage one person, then it is all worth it. Remember God's many promises. He will deliver you and save you. He will give you strength and courage. And ALWAYS remember He is with you.
I hope everone has a great day! i miss all of you back in the boro and a special person who is only 3 hours from here!

Day 4 in London.
Okay, I thought very much that London would be a lot like New York. No one prepared me for how different it is here. Everything is called something different- potatoes are jackets, napkins are serviettes, let means rent, and so on and so on. And the worst part, no Mtn. Dew. Oh the agony.
No serious, although I've gone through a little culture shock, I am really enjoying London. The church here is sooo nice and so accomodating. Oddly enough, most of the people I've spent time with have been either American, Dutch, or Brazilian, and the only English person I've spent time with is Lisa, whom I spend all my time with in New York anyways.
Other things I've done, ate fish and chips in a park, rode in a black cab like in the movies, saw street performers in Covent Gardens, went to a pub, scrubbed down the YWAM base, went shopping at Teslo's and Argo's, put stickers on six hundred of our tracks, rode on a train, tube, and double decker bus. Ministry starts tomorrow. The church seemed really excited to join in with us. Tomorrow morning we are having an English fry up for breakfast, which means anything you can fry and eat for breakfast, it will be on your plate.
Cheeryo.

God is interested in your life.
Deeply.
Passionately.
Interested in you, His child.
Be what He has called you to be. He is the only thing that is true, unfaltering, unfailing. The only things that matter here are Him and His commands.
Cowardice has no place in this war.
Nor does selfish ambition.
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised... "But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him."
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. (Hebrews 10:35-36, 38-39)
Why can't some people see how dire the situation is? Why can't I see how dire the situation is sometimes? Our obedience to our Sovereign King could save someone from an unending life of pain, of darkness and flame, from the weeping and gnashing of teeth!
Maybe the most powerful weapon in Satan's arsenal is complacency.
Defend yourself with His Word. Have the desire to defend yourself with His Word.

Something Worth Saying...
August 07 2005
"To know God and yet nothing of our own wretched state breeds pride; to realize our misery and yet know nothing of God is mere despair; but if we come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ we find our true equilibrium, for there we find both human misery and God." - Blaise Pascal
"Awe of God so basic to our lives. Without it, we live unhappily, unaware that God can make such a vast difference to us. Living without awe of God is like living as a beggar, when instead we could live in the kings palace as the heir. Our sense of awe wakes up when we begin to take notice of the mysteries of life. We begin to see that life is too wast and mysterious to be flattened into cheap explainations." - James Houston, Pursuit of Happiness
"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete lacking in nothing." - James 1: 2-4

What's your analysis doctor?
'Well, it seems to just be another xanga, sir.'
Winston, do you concur?
"Concur, sir?"
Do you concur or don't you?
"Uh, I concur...sir."
Good, carry on then. Let me know if anything more interesting comes up.
"'Yes sir.'"

About last week. . .
August 07 2005
Let's just consider it a momentary relapse. If I talked to you about "something that had been on my mind", forget about it. Please don't bring it up to me. I really don't want to talk about it.
In other news, last night was a lot of fun. Napoleon Dynamite never gets old. . . especially when it's in Spanish with French subtitles.
My room is coming together. I bought a desk and Mom bought me a green computer chair, so it'll be cool. Hopefully it'll all be finished by Tuesday evening.

Dirty, stinking, very evil, fascist, rotten, iron-fisted, fundamentalist, malicious, pernicious, right-wing, perfidious, dratted, ornery, rejective, twisted, warped, utterly malformed totalitarian dictator of a computer-like machine....
All I want to do is read the Newsweek report of how George W. Bushes support is failing. Is that so much to ask????
....Apparently.
I can read all I want to about TunisAir and AirFrance's tragedies. I can scrutinise the details of flying NASA-brand foam. The treaties between multiple countries and Iran/North Korea and their right to produce elements that can be made into nuclear weapons is out in the open air. I can enlighten myself on Marilyn Monroe's heretofore-unreleased psychiatric notes and how they pertain to her death. The plight of a Russian submarine is readily availible. Bodies of missing park rangers are made known to me. MSN reveals the details of up to four deaths at Disneyworld this year. But can I check up on Bush's flagging support? Does the site detailing his lack of backup even load?? No, dear readers, it does not.
But other than that, the world is fine.
Which reminds me.... I've gotten involved in a delightful little game at www.nationstates.net, which is based off the novel Jennifer Government. Several of you would enjoy it [particularly our benevolent Chope Chorey, and the madman referred to as Brian King]. [Join the region of Surrey.] I've created a democratic socialist nation, Opera Populaire, based off of Gaston Leroux's small, insignificant novel The Phantom of the Opera. [I.e. Greatest story of all time.] Day 1 shows that it's famous for verdant greenery, where the national animal the "phantom" frolics freely. One of the issues that came up was whether to bulldoze the rainforest in order to mine uranium stores beneath it. I legalise a little bit of mining. Just a little bit. The teensiest, tiniest bit imaginable, in order to give our "reasonable" economy something of a boost. The next day we're renowned for our barren landscape. I kid you not. Barren. Landscape. I am so pissed off at my nuclear engineers right now. Frickin' incompetents.... I have since legalised marijuana to help me cope with this. Mwaha. Then made the probable mistake of allowing hospitals to pay people for organ and blood donations. Now I'm just waiting for them to start hiring bounty hunters to find harvestable bodies. *Cringe* I need to legalise more drugs.... This is going to become insane. Although I did specify my government type as "psychotic," so perhaps I had it coming, don't ya think??
Off to do dishes and finish off a dessert of some form or fashion.
Ciao!

Seriously though...
God called me out this morning. I had a negative attitude about Sunday School (again). God spoke to me through the worship time as I prayed for a change of heart. It doesn't matter whether or not I like the music or the teaching or anything else, what matters is my heart. Is my heart in the right place? Am I there to worship God? Obviously I was not. But when God revealed that to me, it was a good class. I really enjoyed the teaching this morning... well as much as you can enjoy God totally calling you out...
Because I judge entirely too much. In James 4 we are instructed not to slander others. As a girl, I tend to gossip. As a human being, I tend to judge. As a Christian, I should be striving to overcome both. And just when I thought I was doing better... I realized I wasn't.
I'm sorry I've judged you. That's right, YOU. If you are reading this, if you know me, if you've spoken to me, if I've ever looked at you, I've judged you. Yes, it is human nature. And I'm sorry.
So Sunday School actually went well, and service was fine, and then during the ministry fair I couldn't find Mom, and I was hungry, and I just wanted to go away. And between some different conversations I realized that I really do not know where I am supposed to be heading.
The "something" I mentioned before NY was youth ministry. I talked to Chris today... and I'm definitely going to be doing something with youth. As of now, it doesn't look like a whole lot, but I'm going to keep praying about it. And then there's this new drama ministry... or revived drama ministry... and there's also the youth drama team I said I would help with but now... I don't know... I need prayer. Pray that God guides me.
That's the story of my life right now. And always really. God guiding me through everything: what kind of car to buy, what to do in college, what to do in church, my everyday choices in life...
I hope you know... I love you all.
Alas...Band Camp

i guess i'm content. speaking of contentment, wow. i'm beginning to realize a pattern within all of the books that i have to read for summer. all of them deal with discontented people. almost everyone in these stories is angry about or unhappy with their lives. and anyone who actually seems content is portrayed as bourgeois or stupid. as if the only way to be truly intelligent and enlightened is to be restless and unhappy. how sad. that seems to be the consensus view in today's world. and i just don't agree. so many people around me seem to think that if something was part of their youth, or was taught to them by their parents, that it is automatically wrong and passe. like as soon as you leave your home, you should discard all of your former beliefs. what a crock. people don't seem to understand that a true indicator of an enlightened person is contentment and peace. ---Cari

we are nowhere and its now

hello...i just made this...dont know if i will keep up with it...or even remember it...i wont be on for a while though...something has happened and...its just to keep me busy...thats all...here is a song...
We are nowhere and its now by:BRIGHT EYES
If you hate the taste of wine
Why do you drink it until you’re blind?
And if you swear that there’s no truth and who cares
How come you say it like you’re right?
Why are you scared to dream of god
When it’s salvation that you want?
You see stars that clear have been dead for years
But the idea just lives on
We are wheels that roll around
As we move over the ground
And all day it seems we’ve been in between the past and future town
We are nowhere, and it’s now
We are nowhere, and it’s now
You took a ten-minute dream in the passengers seat
While the world it was flying by
I haven’t been gone very long
But it feels like a lifetime
I’ve been sleeping so strange at night
Side effects they don’t advertise
I’ve been sleeping so strange
With a head full of pesticide
I got no plans and too much time
I feel to restless to unwind
I’m always lost in thought
As I walk a block to my favourite neon sign
Where the waitress looks concerned
But she never says a word
Just turns the jukebox on
And we hum along
And I smile back at her
And my friend comes after work
When the features start to blur
She says these bars are filled with things that kill
And you probably should have learned
Did you forget that yellow bird?
How could you forget that yellow bird?
She took a small silver wreathe and pinned it onto me
She said this one will bring you love
I don’t know if it’s true but I keep it for good luck

this blog is dedicated to bob. bob passed away today from unknown causes. he will be sorely missed by all.
photo from Habas
i actually had a pretty good day today apart from the death of bob, but lets be realistic, we're at war and he's just a hedgehog. got the day off so i got to sleep in for once which was awesome. i slept in so late i cant go to sleep now. i got 2 more days off from my platoon sergeant. he mixed a thing of milk w/ a bunch of mustard and bet me 2 days off that i couldn't drink it and keep it down. well i did it and believe u me i'm collecting on the days.
i feel it's time to explain "Habas". the locals that work the laundry place at the camp here can't read english too well. they looked at my uniform and thought my name was bread. the arabic word for bread is habas, so that's what they call me every time i go in there.
so i checked my phusebox this afternoon and i had messages from all kinds of people. so many new people to get to know! totally cool. really lifts your spirits to know that people care. maybe there's hope for this world yet.
today i'm listening to Five for Fighting:The Battle for Everything. good music. thank you to cassie for introducing me to five for fighting back in the day.

Electric Swimming...
August 07 2005
So, friday night, after I helped my friend Jay install surround sound on his new house, I went to Sean's house with Zack. We decided to go swimming in their neighborhood pool even though it was beginnning to storm. So we're swimming and its like 10:30 at night so we can see the lightning really well. It was amazing. It was so long and really bright and almost got us a coupla times. Then the next day I forced by Haylie to watch Moulin Rouge which I didn't understand at all. It was way too hard to follow........if only they would talk more than sing.....but anyway. Ya'll be in prayer for this kid named Joshua. He's in my small group and he's ten years old. Last night he got in a fourwheeler accident and broke his femur. He's ok now, but pray for a quick recovery. Ok, here's a question:
Whats the worst accident you've ever been in?
Lemme hear some good answers. Later.

Life Changing....
August 06 2005
photo from Shay-Shay
This is some of the cries of many of the students this summer. And that is only some. God has been totally amazing this summer. And its not even close to being done. We have 2 weeks left of students coming in and then I will be coming home for a week and then flying back to Los Angeles to go a thing called the "Moble Team" which is where we go to many of the youth groups churches and see how there commitment with God is now after Mission Adventures!! Its been really cool to see students come here not knowing God or caring about having a relationship with God and then leaving on Friday with a relationship and knowing God has a HUGE calling for there lives!!! Many students have come and have actually got a call to go to other countries such as Nepal, South Africa, Mexico, India, Afghanistan, North Korea, and the United States. Many have gotten visions, dreams, and pictures of there lives and other countries of healings and salvations. God has truly blessed me with so much this summer!!! I love the staff here and the students that come every week. It has been a challanging summer of going to your limits (becasue I have been there more then once) and God teaching me more and more of His character. He has taken me from healing to Joy and Joy to healing. If that makes since. Its been really cool to speak into sudents lifes with truth and love!!! I can't wait to see you guys in the boro in a couple of weeks. YEAH!!! Here is a song that one our worship leaders wrote that is really awesome and its called "Sovereign King"
Father here we are now
A hungrey generation
we stand amazed in your presence
And with each revelation God we
Praise You for all you are
God we praise You with all our heart
Lord reveal Your glory
Unleash Your power
Unveil Your mysteries
Oh God let this be the hour that we
Praise You for all You are
God we praise You with all our heart
For we know that we've been saved by grace
And reconciled to you
So we join with the angels singing, praising
Dancing in our Liberty
We sing arise Oh Jah
Let Your Kingdom regin
Let the whole earth sing that You are the one God
You are the sovereign King
Glory to the King of Kings
As you pour out You Spirit
All over Your broken
We cannnot contain You
This passion is burning, erupting
Even now you flood our hearts in Spirit and in Truth
Let this love be light unto the nations
Let this life be worship unto You
Send Your Glory
Let Your Glory Fall
Send Your Glory send your glory
Let your Glory fall, let Your Glory fall
Oh Sovereign One, let Your Glory fall
Great song!!!! I love how God is so Good!!! This has been life changing in more ways then one!! AMEN
uhh
August 06 2005

There wasn't much to do after that so I just came home and went to sleep, then i had to mow today and got poured on and had to quit, didn't finish the job. So frustrating...Now I'm sitting here so bored and now quite tired. Hope you all are doing ok and i hope to talk to you all soon. See yah.

Who is this King of Glory?!
August 06 2005
-Third Day
Who is this King of Glory that persues me with his love
And haunts me with each hearing of His softly spoken words
My conscience, a reminder of forgiveness that I need
Who is this King of Glory who offers it to me
Who is this King of angels, O blessed Prince of Peace
Revealing things of Heaven and all its mysteries
My spirit’s ever longing for His grace in which to stand
Who's this King of glory, Son of God and son of man
His name is Jesus, precious Jesus
The Lord Almighty, the King of my heart
The King of glory
Who is this King of Glory with strength and majesty
And wisdom beyond measure, the graceous King of kings
the Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things
Who is this King of Glory, He's everything to me
The Lord of Earth and Heaven, the Creator of all things
He is the King of glory, He's everything to me
**1 Chron. 29:11 "Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine, thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted above all."

NO ELECTRICITY FOR 9 1/2 hours
August 06 2005
WOW...So if the title doesn't explain it I dunno what to tell ya...
Got up this morning around like 11 after having this very weird dream...Then I just kinda laid around... Around 3:30 it started to rain then the electricity went off around 3:45 when it got really bad and stayed off...We decided to go out to eat since we couldn't cook anything and had to take showers and get ready in the dark... (never knew how hard it is to take a shower without electricity) So we got ready and went to O'Charleys and then to electronic express, sams, and kmart..Come home and still no electricity..This is about 8:15..So I decide to go to Rachel's house and hang out with her for a while..At about 10 my mom calls me on my way to Marble Slab and tells me we finally have electricity..How horrible is that..We find out that a tree fell on a power line and cut off the lights..So that sucked!!!!! But yeah...
Rach and I went to Marble Slab and hung out and then Nate came so I got to meet him and hang out with them for a while..It was fun!! We are gonna have to do it again!!!! but yeah..that is about it..Going to Chattanooga to see my sis tomorrow!! But i will be back for YOUTH!! WOO HOO!!!!

So Bean just left. I spent a while with him. We went to Faye's birthday party (which was a lot of fun!). We ended up having to stay under the pavilion during the thunderstorm. It was scary, but also very awsome. Then I invited him over tonight while my parents were having a marriage encounter dinner. We watched Superstar and Bubble Boy. It was so great. Just a random comment, I like to kiss Bean. Sorry if that embarassed anyone! lol! I am hungry. I haven't eaten much today other than a little bit of chinese and some cake with shrimp criol (sp?).

August 06 2005
ever wonder if anyone would miss you if you just up and vanished, and was never heard from again... i have. i have felt this way quite frequently lately. jus this past wednesday, someone asked for the movie times for a movie they wanted to see the next day after hearing me voice my desire to see it, i gave them the times and the proceeded to schedule to go to one of these after i had said all this, and didnt even thank me for the times or even think to ask if i wanted to join them. that hurt soo badly. i feel like i will phase right out of my group of friends without them even noticing. i feel so isolated with my own group of friends. i know that i have partially done this to myself but think about something for me if you will- the love of your life is about to leave you to go away to college, will very rarely get to see him. you can understand how we would want to be together but that still doesnt mean that we want to be excluded from everyone. which is what usually happens but i dont think people think about they probably think 'oh they want to be apart from everyone because they're a couple, we'll just exclude them'. well guys, that hurts. and to say, 'well we just put it on phusebox and it was last minute' ok you still own a phone dont you?? in the past i have called to make sure people know about things that are going on so no one felt left out. not everyone checks this thing everyday. im sure that you all think im pyscho now, but oh well i needed someone to know how i felt and there it is. but i hope some of you still love me and will try and keep friendships going over the next year. it will be a tough new experience for most. but anyway i love you all no matter what ok!

Almost there
August 06 2005
It's 8pm. This time tomorrow I'll be in orlando Florida
this is how it's kinda going, A girl named Samantha from Illinois is driving over to Indiana to pick up Angel. Then they will drive about 6 hours to my place, hopefully arriving around 6am. At that point my family will get in our mini-van and we're carpooling 12 hours to Orlando.
It's taken 2 weeks to reach the point I'm at now. That is absolutly crazy. I've been hardcore packing for like the last 3 days. and it's finally paying off.
My car is almost there, minus 3 boxes.

The Results Are In...
August 06 2005
So I told you guys that I would let you know how my doctor's appointment went. Well basically...it went better than it could've but not as well as I had hoped. I was praying with everything that I had that the doctor would tell me that I was just overreacting and that I was in perfect health.
But truth be told, that wasn't the case that morning. In all reality, the doctor told me there was a problem, and that surgery was the only way to fix it.
Surgery. My heart stopped at that moment. And I'm not sure that it's ever started again. My friends and family are trying to support me as best they can, but there's no words that can calm every single fear surging through my body right now.
Sure, I can say I'm not going through with the surgery. However, the only alternative to it is the possibility of cancer. So in all actuality, there really is no alternative. Every second of every day that seven letter word races through my head. More than anything I wish that there was some way out of it. But like I said, what other alternative do I have??

Take the quiz: "WHAT RELIGION BESTS SUITS YOU?"
Average Christian
You're not going to become a minister anytime soon, but you do your best to live your life in a Christian way. This means that although you probably don't attend church every Sunday, you do your best to follow the Ten Commandments, help the needy and generally be an all around good person. Who needs to follow the entire bible anyways? It was written ages ago, and Christ transmuted it by giving his life.

"And there’s no such thing as what might’ve
Been, that’s a waste of time; drive you outta your mind"
Man oh man does that gorgeous man know what he is talking about or what?!
There is no reason to dwell on the past. What has happened has happened for a reason. You may not know that reason but God does. He has a reason for everything. And trust me from person experience and I'm sure you can all agree it really does drive you crazy when you think about all the "what if's". Like "What if I had said this?", "What if I had gone there?", "What if I had been nicer?". There is no point in the "what if's" because until we have a time machine invented (which I find to be highly unlikely it will be soon) we can't change the past. We can't change the things we've said or done. I mean even Timon and Pumba knew this. Don't you remember the "You gotta put your past behind you." quotation. It's something they've been trying to teach us from an early age and yet even elderly people sometimes think of the "what if's?". We just need to remember to trust in God that he will lead us where we need to be and not to worry about what has happened in our past. He forgives us for our mistakes but we also must forgive ourselves.

i think i need a complete makeover. something clothes, new makeup, or even shoes won't fix. i've said this once before, but i didn't really change. i'm scared of what my "friends" say about me, but even more scared of the stuff i say about them, without really meaning it, just so i have something to talk about. i'm sick of treating boys the way i do. i know i do it, yet i keep doing it, with every single one.
maybe i shouldn't ever get married because all i'd do is cause the guy pain.
blah on dreary days...
sorry such a sad post, if you want a happier one visit my xanga . the music makes me happy...

Movies, Shoes, Swimming, Cars, Laundry, and College
August 06 2005
Go to Garrett's tonight at 7 for a movie night! You know you want to!
I bought Reeboks today... which I've never had before... I think I like them... ha ha... they're super white right now which is kinda scary... I think they'll look better when they've been dirtied up...
I really don't have anything to say. How sad. Garrett and I swam earlier today, but it wasn't very long before the thunder started rumbling... oh well...
Car update: Though we're pretty much looking at Toyotas, Mom spotted a blue 2001 Cheverlot Prizim... not a bad canidate...
The Snuggle bear is becomming more and more scary...
College is approaching... excitment building!

Growing up sucks
August 06 2005
im grounded, don't know how long..or from what. Got grounded for going to work..haha. i love life. I've got Jesus to love me, so I guess i don't need a mom to. Well my friends moms do :-). Thats always cool to go over to my friends houses and see how Moms are supposed to act. At the same time, i'm not exactly the perfect son. However, i don't really think i deserve................................

August 06 2005
God, i love Stand By Me. watched The Jacket last night. awesome movie. all ya'll should watch it. may i just say, that people are inconsiderate. especially people on my mom's side of the family. but that's ok. we still love them. but they need to learn some manners. i'm goin to my aunt's house tonight for my grandma's 75th birthday party. fun times. i hope i live to be 75. and i hope i'm as cool as my grandma when i'm 75. also, i realized the other day how much in my life i take for granted. like, my grandparents. or my stuff. or the fact that i'm healthy and were doing all right financially. because for so many people, that's not the case. it's funny how much i complain about petty things, when truly, i have nothing to complain about. i really want school to start. miracle of miracles, i finished my Algebra with no help. wow. i think maybe i'm actually getting smarter. who'da thunk it? ha. but i still have to finish my book reports and Silas Marner. oy vey. i'm excited about Frosh orientation. i hope that this incoming freshman class is cooler than we were. but i doubt it. ha. nayways. yeah. life's good. church tomorrow, which is always a good thing. but lately i kinda wonder. i wish i could try out a new church. but that's not happnin anytime soon. but i guess i'm content. speaking of contentment, wow. i'm beginning to realize a pattern within all of the books that i have to read for summer. all of them deal with discontented people. almost everyone in these stories is angry about or unhappy with their lives. and anyone who actually seems content is portrayed as bourgeois or stupid. as if the only way to be truly intelligent and enlightened is to be restless and unhappy. how sad. that seems to be the consensus view in today's world. and i just don't agree. so many people around me seem to think that if something was part of their youth, or was taught to them by their parents, that it is automatically wrong and passe. like as soon as you leave your home, you should discard all of your former beliefs. what a crock. people don't seem to understand that a true indicator of an enlightened person is contentment and peace. ---Cari

PHUSEBOX Announcement: Easier URLs
August 06 2005
If you have a PhuseBox, you can now access your page by an easier URL address...
simply goto phusebox.net/user/yourusername
for example, mine would be http://phusebox.net/user/nathan
so instead of posting your link or going to http://phusebox.net/user/nathan you can goto http://phusebox.net/user/nathan.
So there you go, I am trying to make PhuseBox easier... I am still working on the new version. It is going to be awesome!
later.

Very depressed
August 06 2005
I have realized how much he means to me, he's my everything and i don't think these feelings will ever go away..never. And yet, I don't want these feelings to go away, never. These are feelings i can deal with, and i love them..just like i love him.
No matter what happens in my life..he will always be my number one Love of my life..never will that change. I would absolutly love to spend the rest of my life with him..oh yes i would..
I love him dearly
I love him so much, this will just take some time to heal, and i know eventually it will be the same..
but, i love him
Woah My My
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
Cause you'll be there

Oh the joys of summer reading.
August 06 2005
Summer reading is beyond ridiculous.
It means, you procrastinate soo long that you cant put it off anymore and you are just not sure if you can get it done. It means school is about to start and its time to start mourning the end of summer. It means long, and tidious unwanted reading. It means sitting still. In my case, it means suntan.
Im going to go read and sunbathe.
Who is your favorite not well known artist?

IKEA
August 06 2005
I'm excited .
We're going to IKEA. And I love that store.
I was watching the news with my mom this morning.
I never watch the news.
They say there will be scattered thunderstorms today, and everyday till Wednesday.
I like thunderstorms.
I wish it would rain more during the day.
Not only at night.
School starts in 2 freaking days.
I don't have classes with anyone, so I'm not looking forward to it. Not one bit. I'm dreading it, in fact. I hate not knowing anyone on the first day.
And I hate all the freshmen that will be coming.
They annoy me terribly.
I like being alone. But only when it rains. And when it's sunny outside, I like to be inside, all hyper and such. But Hanna doesn't like being hyper. Only when there's friends over.
I don't see why she can't have fun unless friends or people are over.
Gizmo woke me up this morning. At exactly 6:00am. He needed to pee, so I let him outside, and then I went to bed, but he licked me awake. I took him off the bed (it's to high for him to jump off) and I let him lead the way to where he wanted to go. He went into the kitchen and stared at his water bowl. I gave him food and made sure he had water. He didn't eat, so I just walked back toward our hallway. He walked into Hanna's room. Since she was over at a friend's house last night, I decided to let him up and sleep in her bed. He just licked me awake again. I got aggitated, and I let him into the living room where I let him sleep on the corner of the couch on top of a pillow (which he seems to enjoy very much) and then he went to sleep, so I slept on the couch. And then was rudely awakened by my mother. Well, not rudely, but she was bustlying about in the kitchen. So I decided to just forget about sleep and watch tv.
Now, I'm waiting for Hanna to get home so we can go to IKEA. ^.^

Well I'm in Missouri right now at ole' Grandma's house. It has been an intereting week - I saw West Side Story, got my first ride in a police car ("Grandma, put on your seatbelt!!), went to Six Flags, and slept in a recliner. Meanwhile scheduling is going on, and mum has been calling me to help figure out the conflicts because no classes I want are being offered sixth. In the end I had to drop down from Pre Calc to advanced algebra/trig. I'm shedding no tears over that one, let me tell you. So here's my schedule:
Early - Etymology - York
1st - AH Latin III - Tinsley
2nd - AP English III - Marlatt
3rd - AP US History - Bowman
4th - Journalism - Juergens
5th - Chamber Choir - Gregory
6th - AH Algebra/Trig - Manu- however you spell it -zewsky
Bada Bing. Could be a lot worse, eh?

25 days! can't wait to get to the house. hot and dusty all day w/ high winds. i ran the trackhoe all day which was lucky cuz it's probably the only piece of equipment in kuwait w/ an enclose cab and air conditioning!! ac is hard to come by these days. the old beat up radio is broke but that's what ipods are for. caught up w/ a friend of mine which was cool. also a big encouragement. few people realize what kind of impact they have. i've never felt like i've made much of an impact on most people. idunno if that's good or bad, just the way i feel. but like i said, if i did, i didn't realize it very well. oh well, i'm tired and talking jibberish. g'night.

Formal Dinner and such. . .
August 06 2005
Stones River had a formal dinner tonight for the college and youth. I had a lot of fun. We also had to go on a scavenger hunt in our formal dresses, let me tell you, running around m'boro in a formal is crazy stuff.
I of course had to do some cleaning after I got home(there was a girls night at someones house that I went to for a couple of hours) and so now it's 3:54am and I'm s l o w l y getting packed.
rubbermaid total:
--3 under bed and one "dresser" full of clothing
--1 with bedding
--1 with random stuff such as books, paper, frying pan, and other random kitchen stuff
--1 with shoes and stationary and a sewing kit, and uh. . .something else. . .
--There is a small storage box that has some Mark. materials in it.
--A box that holds my printer that doesn't work and needs to be replaced.
I'm also taking a small desk thing. . .
don't tell me, I'm overpacked.

we have been officially moved into the lodge (that's what our house was called) for almost a week now, and it is really awesome. everyone needs to come by and check it out sometime or come to one of the many cookouts that we will be having in the future. we just got our internet a couple days ago, and i have no idea what i did in life without internet...i just know i was really bored this past week.
several people came over tonight and we grilled some hamburgers and played sorry (the board game) until about 8 and then we went to see finding steve cunningham, which they were really good. i hadn't been to a show in a really really long time, and they rocked it hard (they still need to find a singer though).
anyways, everyone needs to go see my new favorite band hillsong united play next week (16th) at rocketown. it's free and is really cool worship stuff. let me know if there is anything i can be praying for you guys about.

More of my crazy Rants
August 05 2005
just 11 days until i hit the 10 month mark of not dating. (which mean i just have 2 months an 11 days left!!!) it's so amazing. in one way it feels like this year has flown... and at the same time... it feels like it's been a long time. i'm so glad that God has totally changed my focus... and yeah... somedays are still major struggles... i'm still a girl... i still have a desire to grow up and get married.. but i want to wait on God's timing... i want to use the time i have as a single to reach out in other ministries... experience some of the things i won't get a chance to later. it's crazy... b/c it feels like marriage is just around the corner... and yet... it feels like it'll take an eternity. but i know that the wait will be so worth it. one day i'm going to look back on all the tears and struggles (maybe even mistakes)... and be overjoyed everything that God did through it all. i hope that my story only point to His goodness and glory. i can't wait to see what He's got instore for this next semester!!! i'm pumped!

.Organized Chaos.
August 05 2005
So..i decided to make one of these because..Nathan is cool.
I hope this will be better than xanga.
Lately:
1. I have had many thoughts. About life, about death, and about what's important to accomplish between the two. With so much death happening around me..its hard not to worry about my friends lives and my own. Hence..I want to do everything I can for God and accomplish a couple personal goals.
2 Which brings me to my next thought..MYO. I think that if i practice violin anymore that I will as a consequence pass out and die. End of story.
3. Soccer tournament next Friday. oh.em.gee.
4. Shannon LOVES __________
5. Shannon also definitely loves you
So go to my xanga if you want... my xanga
but get yourself a phusebox ok??

So I can't believe it...last night I was sitting here, or actually in my room! And it dawns on me! It was Aug. 4!! I'm sure you're like, "Ok, Amber, I'm glad you can actually realize what day it is! Big step up for you!" But...lol...let me finsh!! After I realize what day it was, I realized what happened 3 years ago! I commited to not dating for one year!! And God had longer in store! Cause it's been 3 years since I've dated!! WOW!!! That's amazing to me!! I went from a girl who couldn't go a month without a boyfriend, to a women who doesn't want a boyfriend.....but Jesus!! And not just a boyfriend, but in Gods timing, my husband! Hummmmmmm!! It's mind-blowing!! In the past 3 years, God has taken me through many things! And a lot of changing and breaking! And continues to do so! The first year I learned, I can handle not dating and God changed my mind on who I was choosing to date! The second year I learned, that the only man I need is God! And my views on dating completly were changing!! I desired a Godly-man, one that desires God above me, and much more! God gave me desires and standards for my husband! And last but not least...this past year! WOW!! God's blown my mind with all the stuff!! He changed my heart!!! (And is continueing to!) He taught me several things through one of my friends!! He blessed me with a friendship that I've prayed about for a long time and through that friendship, God changed me and my views! And helped me gain wisdom and joy! Don't get me wrong, it wasn't my friend who did this changing....it was God in him!! (Thanks to this friend, who has been willing enough to allow God to work through you, to impact me!) But I learned that love isn't a fairy tale!! (READ THAT AGAIN GIRLS!!!) It isn't!! It has it's up and downs! Fun times and hard times! A time for being joyful and a time for brokeness! Also, marriage...isn't about us!! It's about God!! It all is!! Marriage is an accountablity!! It's promises to be there in the good and bad times! It is so that the two of you can imbody the full image of God and to GLORIFY....who?....HIM!!!!! It's not about all the stuff the world pulls us into!! It's for God's story! And it's God's blessing!! Also, I've learned guys aren't perfect...don't hold them to be!! They can't say or do everything we want or dream them to do! The only man like that...is Jesus!!! (He's the one to fall in love with! lol!!) But I also learned that the reason I sat starands so high, was because, I knew not one single man on this earth could meet that! So I knew they'd fall and I knew I could protect myself and push them away! Which comes to what God is doing in me right now!! He is healing me!! He is wanting to take my heart and mold it the way He's wanted to all along! Sure, it won't be the most enjoyable experience.....there will be tears, the will be hurt, there will be questions, there will be brokeness and loniness....BUT I'm not going through it by myself!! And the reason I am and will go through this, is to bring glory to God! And have a story to share with the lost, the searching, etc.!! Don't you see..your pain and sufferings are so you can relate to others!! It's not to destory you...our God isn't about that!! It's so you can go into this world and relate with His people!! I know God is preparing me for my husband...and that is so exciting for me!! But until God has me to a point where He knows I'm ready and trusts me with such a Godly-man, man that is so amazing I can't even dream of, a man that desires God, a man that has a heart like mine and will treat me as I should be treated....I will have to wait! Cause I want to be the wife that he needs!! The kinda wife that can stand strong behind my husband, that can build him up, that can hold him accountiable, etc!! Course God's taught me so much this year! And done so much awesome stuff I could probably write a book! But...for ya'lls sake...I won't ;) lol!!
Anyways...ya'll have an AMAZING night!! I love ya'll every much!!

i woke up this morning and my ipod all of a sudden worked so that was weird. I sat around the house doing absolutly nothing which was very foreign to me. It is the hardest thing when you have been going non stop all summer and then all of a sudden you are doing nothing. It's TORTURE!!!! Nothing much to report. I'm kinda tired but not the sleepy tired just worn out tired, which is weird because I haven't really been doing anything. Don't know how that happened.
Last night me, lauren, and matt drove around doing pretty much nothing. we went on rucker and turned onto this creepy road to try to find a "haunted house" but there was no luck. We decided to go run in a corn field but that was short lived also. So we went to wafflehouse. There was this guy in the Waffle House that looked exactly like Hagrid off of Harry Potter. It was weird. I wanted to ask for his autograph but I was too much of a chicken.

In world news tonight, Germany has surrendered to the allied forces today seeking a peace treaty.
August 05 2005
So, the battles of world war three are over. I'm guessing nobody won. Krista came up to me today seeking a peace treaty, so, I forgave her. I guess things are back to normal... or as close to normal as they can be.
I said alot of mean things... so did she... so did her friends... so did mine. But, there is no need for that anymore. Wepons have been laid down, white flags brought out, and gun shots and bombs no longer fill the night air.
So, yeah. In other news, pre-band camp is over... and my ass is sunburned. Next week it's nine till nine. That blows. But, I don't really mind it too much.
Tomorrow... AMANDA TIME! lol. I'm going to hang out with Amanda for a while. Then, sleep... alot of it.
But, yeah, that is really all I have, so, yeah...
Later,
Brett

No, not on weblogs.
Like, real writing. Stories and the like. My problem is, I dont know where to go with anything. And I always get bored.
Any thoughts?

You scored as Hermione Granger. You're one intelligent witch, but you have a hard time believing it and require constant reassurance. You are a very supportive friend who would do anything and everything to help her friends out.

Hey friends. Well. Nothing much is going on. Just thought I'd drop by and say hey. So hey!

p.s. I forgot, I'm not joining Republican club again. Reason 1, Jared is the new leader and I just think he is ignorant and his ideals are so ugh. Reason 2, I never really was Republican. I was just in it cause Lana was in it and she was my ride home. I'm actually a Right-Winged Independent. And I'm really hoping that I can get a teacher to form an Independent club. It would be fun, lol. You all should so join. ;)

You are reading the first entry of my new life...my new life with a driver's license! Yes! I am free! Well actually I am not concidering my mom is still going to dro me off at a birthday party tomorrow. =( Ohh well.
What I have learned today:
1) Don't try going different ways home, I got lost (actually kinda but not really).
2) Don't go different ways during rush hour (a 15 minute drive took me 30 minutes)
3) Don't study for the driving test, you can pass no matter what.
4) Don't let your mom ride with you. She starts lecturing you on stuff (can't remember all she told me)

My sister wants our mom to make me come back home, and then ground me so I can't leave again. She just doesn't understand...I love my sister, my sweet, sweet, innocent, little sister...but she just doesn't understand...she thinks I left because I hate Mom, or cuz it was something that her or Austin did...
I don't want her to think that, but I can't tell her the truth. She can stay in her illusion for a while longer. It's better that children stay children for as long as possible.
And my brother...he's just mad about the whole thing and refuses to talk about it with anyone. He thinks I don't love him or Kat...when really, I think of them as my own kids, and would do anything for them...I just can't go back home...
