Interests: Climbing rocks. And walls. Running into trees while on skis. Slacklining. Doing homework. Lots of homework. Tinkering with art and other such rarities. Using huge words and attempting to sound half intelligent. Drinking out of Nalgene Bottles. Throwing rocks at boys. Feeling loved at Camp Forest Springs. Cooking mac and cheese the old fashioned way, and baking scones the new fashioned way. Sticking a pen to paper and making words. Ummm. I can't believe I put God last. Somtimes I do that. I'm a sinner, but He has ever amazing grace. Honestly, I can't wait for the day when I actually accomplish making Him first in my life.

Marie Antoinette
By Original Soundtrack
Oh I love this soundtrack. I love all soundtracks, actually. But mostly this one.

They always said I was smart... I just thought it was the coffee...

Well.  After passing my nursing board exam...
I can officially sign my name as follows:
Lindsay... RN, BSN.

And for your information... RN...
Does not mean "Registered Nerd."
It means Registered Nurse.
Though it may as well be the former.
Te hee.

In celebration... I went to the library.
And picked up about eight books.
NONE of them have to do with anything useful.
One of them is Calvin and Hobbes.
Another is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,
Another a guide to wine tasting.
Yes.  Wine tasting.  Yahu yahu!!

I love it.
I did pick up some Hemingway.
To balance out the nonsense.
I have never not had homework before.
It is such a weird feeling.
But I like it.

Meet the Robinsons
Little Wonders... by Rob Thomas.
see related

Of tickets to trains that lead to everywhere.

Let it go, Let it roll right off your shoulder Don't you know The hardest part is over.   
Let it in, Let your clarity define you In the end We will only just remember how it feels…

The Blechy Test to end all Tests is the day after tomorrow for me.  I’m leaving
tomorrow morning to stay in the town where it is… cuz it’s a million miles away. 
For those of you who don’t know… I am taking the NCLEX-RN, in order to
be an actual licensed nurse.  Now, while this test actually really scares the
bejebezes (keep in mind, “bejebeses” is actually not a real word, and every time
you use it, you must spell it differently.  Those are the rules) out of me… I’m
trying to have this thing called faith.  Not in myself, mind you.  If I had faith in
myself… I would never pass.  

Our lives are made In these small hours These little wonders, These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away, But these small hours, These small hours still remain…

No, you see.  I have faith in the One who brought me this far for some reason. 
I’d like to say He carried me… but some days it was more like dragging me kicking
and screaming.  Te hee.  Most days I don’t even know if this is what I’m supposed
to do with my life… but the Captain can’t use the rudder to a ship unless it’s
moving.  So here I am.  Moving forward… waiting to see where the Captain is
going to take me!!  Yahu yahu.  It’s tricky business, wondering where you’re going
to go.

Let it slide, Let your troubles fall behind you Let it shine Until you feel it all around you… 
And I don't mind If it's me you need to turn to We'll get by, It's the heart that really
matters in the end…

Sometimes when I’m scared of my wide open future, the words of this song get
stuck in my head… “Let it go… let it roll off your shoulder… the hardest part is
over…”  The hardest part, as Christians, is thankfully something that we’ll never
have to face.  Instead of death… we get a bucketful of grace filled to the top every
morning.  And whatever it is, whether it is that job interview… that challenging class…
that difficult relationship… those heart wounds from the past… or the NCLEX…
our job is to work hard.  But mostly to remember, the hardest part is over.

Time falls away, But these small hours, These little wonders still remain.

The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers (The Complete Recordings)
By Howard Shore and The London Philharmonic Orchestra
Best birthday presant probably ever. Yup.

Of remembering remembers that make me happy.

Whenever I'm not sure what to think about life...
I read through my Xanga posts from the past year.
They remind me of an incredible Thing in my life.
It is the grace of Christ.  Woo hoonesses!!
He's brought me this far. 
I doubt He's letting go now.

Plus.  Well.  I think my brain works funny.
I make myself laugh sometimes.
And I make myself think sometimes, too.
Basically I'm crazy.
But, well.  I'm oKay with that if you are.

I have an idea.
Tell me what I should do to celebrate
The day after I take my nursing boards.

Flyleaf
By Flyleaf

On fitness and flyleaves.

My brother purchased a Wii fit.
Which means in the past four days I have exercised an hour and a half.
Don't laugh.  This is a record.
My fitness goal is to look good in my yoga pants.
I'm not sure that's actually possible for anyone, though.

Also, I have written up a 26 day study plan for the NCLEX-RN.
Those are state board testing to be a registered nurse.
It's hard for me to remember how to spell registered.  It should have a "j".
The test takes a bunch of studying. 
Take the ACT and multiply it by 70 to 80 million in difficulty.

After encouraging my brother to purchase a iTouch,
We have been listening to Flyleaf quite excessively.
After researching "flyleaf," they get points for name awesomeness.
Have you ever found that it is difficult...
To listen to music that reminds you of sad events in your life??

PS.  Why do people put scales in the bathroom and not the kitchen??

Takk...

On haikus and the death of the plastic bag.

Pink and purple trees
Blossoms against a black sky
Rain brings the fragrance



I think it is silly that in grocery stores they give you
the option of taking a plastic bag.
Plastic bags kill things.
They should charge you 10 buckaroonies apiece.
Then.  They could become millionaires and help
save our little planet all at once.
