| Muahahahahah! Back on xanga!!! This is incredibly weird. Whole new layout. Where have I been? I should be working on my screenplay. I think I'll write a crazy update soon. We shall see!

| I finished the sixth Harry Potter book today and I don't want to sleep. I'm fighting so hard against sleeping I can't believe I actually gave in to xanga after awhile. So here's an entry. By the way, I HATE THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE!!!!!! (The actual Prince, not the book...the book was better than the fifth!) I feel a sense of loss now that I don't have a 652 page book of Harryness to read anymore...=*(....so much so I had to watch The Goblet of Fire right after.
I GOT THE INTERNSHIP AT LITTLE MAGIC FILM PRODUCTIONS!!! So now I can read more screenplays before they're even produced and help pick which ones are made into movies =). Praise God for this opportunity!
How can I possibly put into words my experience at Urbana? I went there expecting to learn about missions but I came back learning more about the character and goodness of God. Not that I'm complaining. At all. God was definitely moving among His people and I was brought to tears at seriously every session. Even though I was dead sick for like a day, God was faithful through it all and I felt Him healing me in time for the session I looked forward to the most (Rick Warren was speaking). A light has been shed on my flaws and failures that need fixing in my relationship with God, and though it all seems so daunting, I was constantly reminded that God will not abandon me and He WILL walk me through to victory. This also encouraged me even more in going to Japan this summer for missions (still tentative but so far looking good).
I need to make some changes in my life. Each day I'm being reminded that everything here is temporary. The grades we work hard for to get a good job, working hard in our job to get good money, get good money to get a good house, good family, etc. are all useless. God could turn our life around in one snap. I should be focusing on the calling God has for me, since we are working towards our life in heaven, not for a "happy" life down here that could be all ruined in a second. This is the time we can spend showing God how much we love Him, learning to love Him more each day, and exhibiting to others our care for them. Precious time wasted on securing and insecure life for ourselves down here could be used to further God's kingdom. God, I want to know You more. I want to be MADLY in love with You. Teach me to realize each day how much I need You and how dependent I am of You. Let me be sensitive to my brothers and sisters's feelings and needs so that I can be effectively used by You to extend Your love and encouragement.
Going to continue to stop xanga, limit my facebook uses, and start to deprive myself of aim. There are priorities that need to be taken care of. Plus, I'm going to try to be friends with people in "real life", not through a computer screen. Relationships are more effective when spoken heart to heart via phone or in person. It's harder to maintain as well, which should be a challenge for me to really reach out to my brothers and sisters. We'll see.
There's something that's been set in my heart I think from God. I'm praying about it to see if it's something that He really wants me to initiate. Bottom line is: we don't worship Him enough. We don't do a lot of things enough, but worship is one issue that God has been teaching me a lot about. And so, we seriously don't worship enough, especially from day to day. I mean, it is hard. How do you praise someone so enormously full of good stuff without sounding redundant? Surely nothing we can say will even come close to describing His nature. We're not always in the mood to praise Him, we're not always loving Him to the best of our abilities, we don't always want to surrender everything to Him, we don't always trust in Him, so how can we sing those words when we know in our hearts at times we are lying? There's so much going on in my head I'm just babbling now ahahah. But hopefully soon something will come of this vision.
Okay you, stop reading xangas and go spend some time talking to God! It's time better spent than here! I'm going, you should too =D | | |
| SURPRISE! Yesterday I had my first surprise birthday party. It was great! Expecting it was just a hangout at Sha's, I was like wow, what a diverse crowd Sha invited. And seriously, you guys got me. I had no idea even though supposedly a few of you weren't exactly being subtle about it. Food was great, dessert was awesome, presents were wonderful, movie was weird, and everyone's company was like always, superb. And I can't believe you guys actually got Nikki to keep a secret from me. She told me she was dying to tell me for the past few weeks. But she kept it in the end! Hahahah. Special thanks to Sha, Jonny, and Nikki for being the main planners/cooks/pickupthingsers. Special thanks to everyone else (Jay, Lisa, Howeirdd, Cal, Bren, Jeff, Jenny, Will, Terry, Kyler) for making their way out and making my birthday last another day! And to Sha and Kevin for hosting! And your parents for letting you guys! You guys are AWESOME! It was a wonderful surprise! | | |
| No longer a teen....well, twenties here i come!
THANK YOU EVERYONE for all the fb msgs, vms, txt msgs, calls, ims, away msgs, and xanga entries!!!! You all certainly made my day special =D!!!!!!! | | |
| An excerpt from the script of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window (one of the best movies ever): STELLA: Look, Mr Jefferies, I'm not an educated woman, but I can tell you one thing. When a man and a woman see each other and like each other, they ought to come together, wham, like a couple of taxis on Broadway and not sit around analyzing each other like two specimens in a bottle.
L.B.:There's an intelligent way to approach marriage.
STELLA: Intelligence. Nothing has caused the human race so much trouble as intelligence. Modern marriage.
L.B.: No, we've progressed emotionally. STELLA: Baloney. Once it was see somebody, get excited, get married. Now, it's read a lot of books, fence with a lot of four-syllable words, psychoanalyze each other until you can't tell the difference between a petting party and a civil service exam.
L.B.: People have different emotional levels.
STELLA: When I married Myles, we were both a couple of maladjusted misfits. We are still maladjusted, and we have loved every minute of it.
L.B.: Well, that's fine, Stella. Now, would you fix me a sandwich, please?
STELLA: Yes, I will. And I'll spread a little common sense on the bread.
