Yet
You don’t know me that well yet
I like how someone used the word “yet” recently. It made me feel like there’s more to come with us. I don’t mean it in a love way, but in general. It made me feel like I’ll be with this person for a while and that gave me hope for everyone else. I mean, coming into high school, I was afraid of losing the friends that were...
Sane
My bus driver is absolutely crazy. Today, some kid decided to do sign language to someone in my bus. So, they were sign-ing to each other when suddenly, the kid has this brilliant idea and motions the bus driver forward. The kid’s bus stopped. Our bus kept moving. All of a sudden, when I know we’re just about to crash, the driver stops. And the driver doesn’t just stop. The...
Perfection is my enemy
Title/quote from Free to be Me by Francesca Battistelli.
5 things I want to say to 5 different people without naming them.
I don’t get it. We talk one day and then today, suddenly you basically say not to talk to you. You can be so nice and sometimes, like today, I just want to give up and never talk to you again. I was honestly only trying to get you to work.
Despite what happened; the...
1,110.
That’s how much we raised during the FBCC Garage Sale. The Carnival, I think, raised 160 something dollars.
I’ve been up since before 6 and I worked until past 12. I didn’t get to see or talk to certain people I wanted to, but I think that was from God telling me to focus on raising money for church.
All in all, it was a productive day with little laughs to keep me going. I...
Growing up (part 2)
Growing up in my family, I knew it was common to have magazines in the bathroom, to have casual conversations in the car ride home, to hear your parents talk about work, to hear cheesy jokes from your parents. But, as I grew up, I realized that..the way those things happened in my family were different than others.
The magazines in regular houses consisted of Better Home, Real Simple, Cooking,...
I like it
Title/quote from Joseph Lee (the one who skates). I know it’s pointless to say which Joseph, but I look back through my blogs and sometimes I have the memory of a carrot. (Haha, just like Izzy from Grey’s Anatomy!)
Anyways, a lot of people have told me that “holy crayon” is a cute or funny or *insert nice adjective here* phrase. I think so, too, so thank you!
It’s a...
CreaTuriste
Title/name-quote from BlogTV guy mentioned below.
This guy on BlogTV makes masks. He’s super talented and funny and I guess..deep? He keeps talking about how the youth is wasted on the young. How “school is not meant to be a prison” and he’s just very laid back about his work. He’s allowing people to watch his work. He’s having a conversation with the viewers...
Growing up
Isn’t that such a cliche question? But we all like envisioning ourselves in front of our dream home with our dream husband or wife and possibly a dream kid or two. We all want our dream job and we all want the most important thing. We want to be happy.
Me? I want a dog and a cat that get along. I want a large backyard lined with flowers and a brick wall-fence. I want light green grass all...
You're cruel to yourself
I was on blogtv because I heard a lot about it, and I watched this girl luvaleviet who just sat there and talked. She’s really funny and has a lot of good stories to tell. Anyways, she gave this quote “When you’re kind to others, you’re cruel to yourself”. First thought; What?! Then I realized that most of the time, when I said yes to whatever people asked me to do, I...
We are all witnesses (part/day 2)
Day 2; second and last full day
After getting to know the girls in my cabin, we woke up at 6:30 every morning and failed to do yoga. Anyways, Jeremiah spoke and I was in and out, falling in and out of sleep once, twice, multiple times. Izzy Wong was the same way. Again, I wasn’t alone. The worship was amazing again, though. The three songs were played again and I was holding my cello in...
We are all witnesses (part/day 1)
Title/quote from Camp Challenge 2010 theme.
I can’t point out specific things out of order, so here’s a run through of Camp.
Day 1; first full day
Well, first, we got our suitcases and headed off to Cedar Cabin. But, nope. Nothing’s that easy, of course. All the six incoming fish girls looked at our nametags and realized..we were staying in Live Oak (Alpha), not Cedar. The...
