Static and Christmas

There is now a new reason to fear a car. This reason may shock, awe, and/or scare you. Not only could a car run over you, your bike, and your fat cat, now many cars have been shocking you as you get out of your car. Every single time I exit my car I flinch at the thought of having to touch my car with my bare, shockable hand.
Most of the time I do the patented tushy-close but sometimes I get the high and mighty feeling and reach for the car with my hand. It is usually a mistake and I end up being shocked by the car. Again. And again.
It has gotten to the point where I touch any car like it might be burning hot.
Last night was Christmas Eve and it was amazingly fun. We went over to a friend's house for a party and opened a few presents. I got a DVD and some lip gloss that tastes really yummy but my favorite present was a devotional book for each day of the year. I'm pretty excited to start reading it. Maybe I'll share a couple of days with everyone who knows me.
AND in some big huge enormous crazy awesome fantastic fabulous news I cleaned my room yesterday! And we aren't talking the typical make-the-bed-and-throw-the-trash-under-the-bed stuff. We are talkin the full monty here. Cleaned my closet, the drawers under my closet, the drawers under my window seat, cleared my desk out, and took my "nightstand" outside to be taken away. It was tiring but the results are so worth it. Now my sister can't tell me my room smells anymore! Yay!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. -John 3:16

Rubiks Cube

I would love one day to be able to solve a Rubik's cube. It will probably never happen because usually I end up throwing the poor cube across the room or sometimes at someone. I was on Yahoo today and I saw a Yahoo question that asked for a good way to solve a Rubik's cube faster. Keep in mind that this person was solving the darn cube in 4 minutes and 15 seconds flat. Pretty AMAZING.
Anyways, there were some hysterical answers.

smash it

zilo-gunn
well first do the *hoky* *poky* then shake it all about. do u think that will work?

mxbrown
it if only takes you 4 mins, why bother?
drink a 6 pack while shuffling, after the 6 pack, try to solve it.

Oh yes there are some interesting people out there.
And Olvera St. was awesome!! Sarah, Jenny, and I had some yummy churros and we all interviewed a really cute (but completely petrified) lady. She talked so softly that I had to scoot close to pick up the sound... but it was slightly awkward because I didn't want to be in her face because she looked a little nervous.
Yay!!!! Two and 1/2 more days of school and then we are DONE until January 8th! And I get to go to the mountains!!!!

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Friday!

Well today was completely awesome!!!!
For starters, I had a calculus test. That doesn't sound like fun but since I think I did good, it was FUN!!! Wooo hooo!!!
And then we had off campus lunch today. Stina, Sarah, Shiloh, Kristen, Rebekah, Jim, Justine, Kelly, Jenny, and I went to Pavilions. They have some awesome chicken noodle soup there! Mmmmmm...

It was good! Today was just a fun day.
I think the Citibank commercials are hilarious! Here's one I found on YouTube that had me laughing earlier today.

Bored before practice...

Today was a fun day... especially since we had a Senior Meeting! Wooo hoo! Get out of calculus for a good ten minutes! :) I'm driving on Friday too so nobody hit me! I don't know where we should go either. Where? Where? I don't know!
I was listening to KFI (John and Ken) and I heard something about a raid in Colorado. There were a lot of illegal immigrants working in a factory and the government heard about it and made a raid one morning. Apparently the family (also illegal) of some of the workers came to show their disapproval. One woman stood with her one-year old daughter holding a sign that said "Goodbye Daddy, I love you!" The same woman was interviewed later, she doesn't see why her husband should be sent back to Mexico. He can't send them money from Mexico, and her daughter will be losing her dad. "My daughter didn't do anything wrong, and yet she loses her father."
Ummm... actually her daddy was in the wrong. He committed identity theft to work in the factory. Go home! My goodness, this country doesn't owe you anything!!!!
...........
On a happier, less angry note the weather (though a bit cold) has been pretty nice. We even had rain!! I love hearing it outside my window when I go to bed. It's awesome. And I need to start carrying my camera with me because the scenery is so pretty right now.

AND college applications are well over and I am just relieved. The only thing left to do is wait... and that isn't hard at all! Waiting is a good thing, just enjoy life while you wait!!

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Nobody's Watching

Much Ado About Nothing

There is something seriously wrong with me. I feel trapped, but I shouldn't.
Let me explain.
Change is not something that comes easily to me. I don't know if anyone else is like that, but it is a HUGE internal struggle for me to accept change. Here are some examples. I like my bean burritos with no cheese and very little beans, I like my Beef Crunchwrap Supreme with no tomatoes, no cheese sauce, and no sour cream, and finally I used to (and sometimes still do) take the cheese and sauce off my pizza with a napkin and eat just the bread part. Oh, and I like my ham and cheese omlettes with no cheese and very little ham. I know what I want and I know what I like. I've had strange eating habits for as long as I can remember and they aren't going to change any time soon.

But this new change can really feel like a downer sometimes. And it shouldn't. It should be so completely awesome, a lot of people have already told me so. And so I feel like I'm in the wrong, I'm the one who is completely out of my mind. Even I can easily call myself crazy. But I can't shake whatever it is I'm feeling. It's hard to be honest with yourself. I guess I'm just attempting to write out my thoughts here. I really need a diary.

I feel like I'm in a Robert Frost poem. "Two roads diverged in a wood..."
But one road is being awfully unresponsive.
-----------------
Edit
This post seemed like a downer and slightly annoying. But I feel better having worked some thoughts out. So here is a funny video that I found. They have other funny videos and I will be posting them here a little at a time. This is for the Lost fans.

I can't find anything to say here that I would be okay with saying. But I did find some cool pictures.


This bike does look like fun.

And you can hit people with the end of the banana.


That is crazy! A whole nativity scene in the sand... :o



:)


Goin to see Othello tomorrow! Yay! I like Shakespeare's writing a lot so it should be awesome.
