| Praise You in the Storm
By Casting Crowns
I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen"
and it's still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God
Who gives and takes away
Chorus:
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For you are who you are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise you in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
A really, really nice song. It really explains how I feel sometimes,
when I'm doubting. Like I know God's there, and I keep quoting Bible
verses to myself, but I don't believe that's what it really means to
believe. I read it somewhere in my YW devotions, but it has escaped my
mind. Hummm. I like the second...stanza..paragraph..verse..eh, I don't
know what it's called. But I love it. Listen to it:
http://www.lifeinreturn.com/radio.blog3/?autoplay=5 . Heck, listen to
all the songs on that playlist. They're all very, very nice Christian
songs. :]

| Sometimes I wonder if I'm a mean person...
I've been sick. My nose hurts from all the blowing. I had a bit of a
mucus problem this morning. It was sick and interesting. Haha. But my
dad finally let us try the heater, to see if it works, I don't know why
it wasn't working, but it works, so my family's not going to die from
the coldness! =D Hoorah!
I woke up early today though. And read Memoirs of a Geisha in bed. Good
book, though the story is really loosely based on the real number one
geisha, forgot her name, but the author of MoaG credits her in the
acknowledgement. And he got sued for releasing her name to the public
and not correctly portraying her. It's kind of sad, so now I want to
read her story, her autobiography, and not some white person's
portrayal of Japanese geishas. I read these autobiographies yesterday
and a Chinese playwriter said: "There is in this country a misguided
belief that women should write about women, blacks about blacks, the
Chinese about Chinese. White males can write about anybody." It's kind
of true, you know. And he had a succesful play about Asians and a play
that was a failure about a family of Caucasians. But it might be
because, I don't know, he's not Caucasian? Heh, I sound like I'm
contradicting myself. It's Kennett, man, she's gotten me into the whole
heritage stuff, though I refuse to work on my project.
The three main characters of Memoirs of a Geisha are portrayed by three
well-known Chinese actresses. And they recieved much criticism for
that. And from reviews I read, critics kept saying how they couldn't
stop being Chinese, couldn't capture the essence of being a geisha kind
of stuff. I suppose it's true, but Zhang Ziyi looks darn pretty in the
movie, and her eyes are amazing.
It's funny, Ken Watanabe is playing the Chairman in Memoirs, and he was
in Batman Begins, and Gary Oldman was in Batman Begins, and he was in
Harry Potter, and Ralph Fiennes was in Harry Potter, and he was in
Schindler's List, and Liam Neeson was in Schindler's List, and he was
in Batman Begins, and he was also in Star Wars, and Harrison Ford was
in Star Wars, and he was also in Witness, and Viggo Mortensen was in
Witness, and he was also in Lord of the Rings, and Christopher Lee was
in Lord of the Rings, and he was also in Star Wars. So they're all in
connected, and I love all the movies. And brilliant actors. Heeh. I
could go on, it's so fascinating to me, really.
Hope everyone has a safe holiday. I hope I get to go snowing this year!
I could be in Thailand today.

| Bonjour.
I love French, Madame Beaupre makes it so fun. Today she told us another French joke.
Just for laughs, here are the other two:
Why doesn't it flood in France?
Becase the water is low. (In French, l'eau is the water.)
Why do the French only eat one egg a day?
Because one egg is enough. (Un oeuf is one egg in French.)
LOLOLOL, it's so cute! And today's joke:
A robber managed to break into Le Louvre (A famous museum in Paris, DA
VINCI CODE!) and managed to steal a painting, which is très, très hard
to do, stealing something from Le Louvre. So the robber gets into the
van and he runs out of gas. Then the French polie catch up with him and
say to him:
"You were intelligent enough to steal a painting from Le Louvre, yet
you didn't think about getting enough gas to get away. Why?"
And the robber answered, "I did not have enough Monet to buy Degas and make the Van Gogh."
AHAHAHAHA, shoot, I was laughing like a maniac when she told us that.
And ironically, we were learning about the Impressionist era of
painting. Today was a nice day, except in the morning at around 2, I
woke up and was FRANTIC about finding m scientific calculator, which I
seem to have lost, I was a savage, ravaging through my whole house, I
didn't find it, and ended up not finish studying for math. And I woke
up at 6 in the morning to finish studying. And when the test came, I
kind of blanked out. The test was way too easy to be easy, as in I must
have done a lot of things wrong. In chem, we had another sneak attack
ion quiz. I spelled Thiocyanate wrong. Cynate looked prettier than
cyanate at the time. For history, Mr. G lost his voice, probably from
yelling at all his classes, except I enjoy his suffering, we watched
Master & Commander. Billy Boyd! I remembered one LOTR cast was in
it, but I couldn't figure out who, until I heard his voice and saw his
lovely face.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire comes out in two weeks. I'm so
excited, I'm trying to let my mom let me buy tickets for the first
show, though I doubt it. So I've kind of become a Harry Potter maniac.
I love to read Draco/Hermione fanfics. Fanfic writers should write more
Katie Leung/Cho Chang fics. She's such a nice girl. HP is like second
LOTR. They should combine the two. And Victoria Beckham would make the
best Narcissa Malfoy, honestly. 8) Jarhead comes out today, must watch.
The good movies are coming out now. The Chronicles of Narnia are coming
out in a month or so. I'm really anticipating it, C.S. Lewis being a
Christian writer and a friend of J.R.R. Tolkien and all. I wish they
were still alive. I think if I could bring three people back from the
dead, it'd be those two, and maybe someone else.
I think I've gotten over my little "Ah, I don't know where I belong."
fiasco. Though it still feels lonely at times. I think I have a lot of
friends but I can only tell one or two friends anything. A few days
ago, Angela told me she prayed for me, and I just felt like.. "Wow."
I'm surronded by so many beautiful people. God is good all the time.
Yesterday, I got really mad at Him, just because I couldn't find my
scientific calculator, I can be so tempermental sometimes. -Sad face-
OH! Today in English, we played these board games all the A students
made, the one where we got to get out of writing an essay. And I had to
play the "overachieving maniac"'s game. (Ms. Kennett called her that,
haha, it was so funny.) I heard the game my group made was confusing
for some, though I didn't think so. So anyways, Michael's in my group
and we were playing the game when all of a sudden hair is on the board
and he says, "Thiss is what I hate about being in an English honors
class -- There's so many Asian girls..." And I expected him to say
something about overachieving, dominant females but he continues
saying, "The all have long black hair and it falls all over the place."
So he was holding the stack of questions to read and Sandra says calmy,
"Hey look! There's another piece of hair." And he freaks out and drops
the cards and starts rambling on about how everytime he drops his
pencil he always picks it up and he grabs a bunch of hair. HAHA. I've
met quite a few males who feel strange about hair on the floor. LOL.
One more week until Veteran's Day..., long entry.
