I love GOD, my Aaron, my very tolerant friends (Ya'll know who you are!), my hilarious family, knowing things no one around me knows, Wales (Cymru!), beautiful things like dark red roses, pear trees all year round, forests shrouded in mist, windy cold days, ancient mountains, fresh snow, green hills, being able to look as far as the horizon and not see one sign of civilization, stars, aurora borealis, the ocean, the sound of a wolf howling, birds singing, laughter, music, many voices, harmony, the smell of books and coffee, books i've read a million times and never get tired of, an inspiring line of poetry, a satisfying conversation, HUGS! (especially from guy friends i don't see very often;-) )...well you get the picture:)
Expertise: reading good books, trying to text under 300 texts a month! talking to Aaron every night, laughing very loudly and embarrassing myself, listening, noticing beautiful things (like sun rays behind wintery clouds!) imagining, and talking to myself...(and others when their available) loving my God, wonderful family, super friends and LIFE!

| or...I do type but I'm never on this anymore. woops. I guess its cause no one else is, I doubt anyone reads this, and I have other things to do...like facebook. haha
It's the sabbath, first sabbath of 2008. I'm 21. I'll be graduating and getting engaged this year. We'll have a new president by the end of this year. The EU is taking over England (its on my mind...and it makes me mad). Sean is graduating, I'll be in a wedding of one of my dear friends, several more people will be getting married I'm sure, the Olympics are this year annndd...I'm sure many other things will occur. New Years always freak me out a little. What will happen? What could happen? How will I react?
I am now going to go write. Why is it that on every sabbath I feel like doing things I have all week to do but don't? sheesh.

| I think I'm lacking it. I've always thought I was a creative person, but now I'm around people who have these ideas and the skills to pull them off that I'm finding I lack. Or, I think I do. I might be just in the dumps over having a cold and all the homework I have to do before the feast (only 8 more days!). One things for sure. I'm getting a big dose of humble pie this semester. Let's pray I can get through it with my scholarship intact.
I think I need to work on my skills.
and I just put an ink mark on my white mac. darn it!
Ah well. Life is full. I shouldn't complain. This is what I wanted. Well, perhaps not QUITE as full as it is right now. Id like room to breath every now and then...heck I'd like to breath period.
Feast of Trumpets was AMAZING. Best one yet. We had two incredible sermons. A dvd by Mr. Ames and Mr. Beyersdorfer live. Mr. Beyersdorfer is hilarious. He made the sound of the ram's horn shofar several times...without the help of a shofar. Haha. it was great. And we got to yell in church. three times. That doesn't happen very often.:)
I am so psyched about the feast. *does a happy dance* Oregon is gonna be amazing, breathtaking, awe inspiring, poetic, millennial....should i use more adjectives? My family will be together, my Aaron will be with us, he rented his first car so we can drive around on our own, we have a great place to stay and the best part? ITS THE FEAST. Which means great sermons, great singing/special music, and God's people. ah. bliss.
Thanks to Stace and all the people who have congratulated me on my baptism. I've been called "little sister" quite a lot lately:)
Well I'm gonna go read. Because I can.yay!

| I kinda slacked off on this.
But I wanted to make an announcement.
I'm getting baptized today. :)
I'm happy/excited/and serious/humbled. Its a huge step. And I hope I'm ready but I know I'm not worthy. And I guess thats a new feeling for me. lol
Anyways. Sorry this is short. I'll try to be more consistent. But i do have 5 writing classes to work on...

| The above smiley faces are the emotions i've had lately...over and over in various orders.
SIIIIIIGGGHHHH
I got a job last week. I've worked three days and i'm already exhausted and wondering if it was a good idea to accept this job. But it was the only that's immediately said yes to hiring me and...well i was getting desperate. I work at a WILD OATS...in the kitchen. I'm still learning the ropes so i'm not a pro yet but basically i serve the customers food, chop food up, clean, wash dishes (i washed dishes for 3 1/2 hours my first day. not fun), slice meat, and wander around trying to look busy. I'm in a weird position...i'm new so i don't know everything yet so i can't do everything yet so other people tell me/show me what to do and ... i end up being kinda bored. And that makes the time go by VERY SLOOOOOWLY. And i work in 8 hour shifts soooo...yea. i work 7:45 to 4 three days this week and 2 to 10 one day. I HATE closing...its even more boring.
Ok sorry. enough complaining. I'm grateful for the job. I make better money than i would have at many other places, the people are pretty cool, i'm learning how to cook (i made scrumptious asparagus today in like...20 minutes.) and i'm making money. All good things. But i'm just so tired when i get home and to be honest...money doesn't motivate me. I do the best job i can when i work but that's just cause thats how i was raised and who i am. Money is like..."oh i get a check? huh. ok well..put it in the bank." i mean...i don't get excited. I think i'm strange.
I want to go somewhere beautiful.
I miss my friends.
I've been yearning for the ocean lately. I have a painting i did a long time ago next to my bed. Its of the ocean...and i stare at it alot. I wish it wasn't so dang hot. I want to be outside but its so miserable if i'm not in water.
I have a great boyfriend. He's so sweet to me. We're celebrating 2 years together next week. He's coming for a few days during 4th of July. I'm gonna be off (hallelujah) and we're gonna celebrate the 4th with my family (and see Transformers and Fireworks!) and then on the 5th we're gonna do something just us two. I made him the coolest gift. I hope he likes it
I've been writing a cinderella story lately. Yes coventional. It started out as a writing exercise. But i got into it and i couldn't stop. In it the stepsisters aren't "ugly" they just look incredibly plain next to cinderella and one of the sisters is actually good and helps cinderella a lot. they're best friends.
speaking of which i wonder where MY best girlfriend is.
humph
We're going to Oregon this fall for the Feast. yaaay! I am so looking forward to it. I've been scouting out all the natural beauties i want to see. Mt. Hood, waterfalls, seal caves, lighthouses, beaches, hiking trails, etc. I want to go sailing. I want a sail boat sooo bad. I told aaron that the other day...he's sweet enough to let me dream of such things. i doubt it'll ever happen. But it's nice to think about. I think i'll write a story about a sail boat tho. I know what'd i call it if i had one. But i'm not telling cause someone will steal it
ok...enough. i'm done. have a nice day. | | |
| I haven't thought about german in a LONG time. I probably need to study it so i won't lose it. That'd probably be a good idea.
Will it happen?
We shall see.
(doubtful)
Um sooo..i'm done with Design 1. May session was CRAZY. wow i've never been so busy and so stressed in my life. sheesh. But i did enjoy the class and the teacher and the stuff we did helped me grow alot and it really challenged me. I spent so much money on art supplies tho...its not even funny. so don't laugh.
But in other news...i got an A (hallelujah) and my Uncle thinks that a few of my pieces are markatable and he wants to frame one and put a price tag on it and put it in a gallery or something. Wouldn't that be amazing if i could make money with my art? ahhh..what a dream that would be.
I still don't have a job. Which is bad. BUT...though i've been rejected by the central arkansas library system, I am not deterred. Mom was in Wild Oats the other day and talked to a chef there who said i should come in to talk to him about a job...i'd learn to cook. Can you imagine me...cooking...with a tall white hat on a white lab coat? *snort* ya i can't either but who knows...i may be a cook under all this artsy fartsy-ness.
aaron hopes i am at least.
My parents and boyfriend and friends have been amazingly supportive of my insaneness the past three weeks. I couldn't have made it without them. Aaron was here last weekend and he helped me with one of my projects. I came up with and made the main part, but it was a book that had to be made and i was having trouble figuring out how to put it together. So my genius b/f helped me and it looks fantastic. I got a 100 on it:) yay!
Pirates 3 was good...sort of. I dunno. I love jack...not so much Will tho anymore. But it was good. I want to see Nancy Drew, Hairspray, and Transformers (especially the latter). haha. My film interests aren't narrow...tho all of these are like...pg. hehe
Everyone is getting married...tho no one i'm close to. It's just weird tho. That'll be me someday (hopefully in roughly two years). But i definitely don't want to do it like most of the people I know who are getting married. Some are doing it ok...but some are making it really hard on themselves. I'm SO glad Aaron and I aren't too immature...lol. We've had good upbringings and we have a heavenly Father who helps us every day. I know what's coming so I'm not so impatient that I can't wait. Waiting makes the day we're waiting for that much sweeter. What a journey life is!
I'm out of money. Anyone want to donate?
We have an adorable baby bunny in our yard. I've named it Pat. Pat the Bunny. A nice genderless name. Sean wants to hold and pet it every time he sees it. We have to restrain him. lol
Life is good...hope ya'lls is too.And i hope this makes up for my lack of posts.
Mach's Gut.
