Not interesting at all. Just like me. |

In a text-based world, I'm beautiful. My favorite things in life: *cocoa *hugs *banana paraphernalia (chips, smoothies, ice cream....) *knowing that I am understood. *good pens/pencils *writing down my thoughts *serving *conversations of the deep sort. *spending time with those that I love. *a cleansing bunch of noise once in a while *quiet the rest of the time *blogging my lil heart out *understanding *noticing the little things that generally don't matter. *being just a little bit different *pretending to be a poser "You must do the things you think you cannot do." -Eleanor Roosevelt. This is straightforwardly me. |
| I come out of visits from my family too exhausted to think. Today, there were two main objectives from two people. My brother Lank wanted to buy 2 shinai (that's spelled phonetically, fyi). They're these bamboo swords that make noise when you hit something. They were $60, and he only had $52. Mom wanted us to take a picture for the church directory. Lank was a jerk. Every ten minutes he'd say, "So, you gonna give me the money?" Or, "Let's go buy those shinais." Mom kept saying things such as, "Oh, I want a picture of you here..." Or, "Ask that person to take our picture here." I like having my picture taken, generally. But for some reason, pictures that Mom is going to keep, I don't like. Maybe because she doesn't take care of them... Maybe just because she annoys me. Maybe because we've never gotten along well... I don't know. Sometimes I think that I've forgiven her, and other times I think I haven't. Which means that I haven't. To forgive, (at least in Biblical terms) means to forget and never mention or bring it up again. I guess I've never really forgiven anything. |
| Short story, then my point, I promise. This summer, my friend Jared and his girlfriend Jen began a bet. They are a very touchy-feely couple. The bet was to see who would touch the other first. Well, they were doing well after 24 hours. They hadn't touched each other at all. Lank and I, as well as his girlfriend Melanie, began to place bets to see who would touch the other one first. I said that I thought that Jared would lose, just because he'd unthinkingly reach over to show her affection. Melanie disagreed. She said that Jen's love language was touch, and that she would begin to feel the distance very soon. That got me to thinking.... (I do that sometimes). My language of love is words of affirmation and time together. If you tell me that you enjoy our time together, you're appealing to both of my languages. So go ahead. Tell me.  Anyway, what do you see your love language as? |
| This is a little quiz that everyone seems to be taking. My results are funny, but whatever.  Beloved by all, puppies are energetic, playful, and loving. Your playful and outgoing nature is part of what makes you a puppy. Known for their loyalty, puppies make great pets for young and old alike. And an innocent puppy face can melt anyone's heart! You were almost a: Pony or a Lamb You are least like a: Chipmunk or a Groundhog |
| In a normal Aradne-mood, I'd say that I'm perfectly happy with my weight. Heck, I'd complain if I was losing weight, because my clothes wouldn't fit right. Well, I don't know if it's the weather, the chemicals, or what, but I'm losing weight, and I'm liking it! My comfy, baggy clothes are becoming more comfortable and even baggier!!! Usually I lose weight from my neck/face and arms, and maybe some around the stomach. This time it's all coming from the hips, tush and legs. I HAVE NICE LEGS!!!! I was a ballerina from 3rd grade to 11th. My legs the entire time were muscled and firm, but they looked funny. Ballet works all the wrong muscles for your body to be the typically 'beautiful' body. Just don't say anything about clothes to me for the next couple days, huh? Where do you lose weight from? |
| Well, it turns out, I was right. I didn't get fired. I didn't even get written up. The other drawer from the night my drawer was short? It was over as much as mine was short. That means that somebody must've gotten change from me but didn't give me the $$ in return. Is that ever a big 'PHEW'!!!!! *happy now*  See????In other news, I'm straightening my hair today. That's right!!! I'm putting effort into my looks! Oh, something else I learned from the teens this summer: If there are 14 girls on a trip, you need at least 6 hair straighteners. There were 14 girls on our trip. We had 8 straighteners. Honestly, there were times when two or three girls were straightening one head of hair.  But I can't complain, because I did help one girl straighten her hair too. I'm quite happy today. As soon as my roommate returns, we're re-arranging our room. (YAY, no more top bunk!!) Knee is afraid of heights... |
| *sigh* I've had passing thoughts about quitting my job lately. Nothing that I would actually act upon, but my crew and I are being treated rather badly this year. Now, granted, we are still getting better treatment than average student workers, but I think that they are trying to tax us a little too much. Oh, my point: Last night my bank was $40 short. That's definitely write-up worthy. ($2.00 is write-up worthy) It would be my second write up due to a short bank. *sigh* I was being dramatic last night and apathetically asking my coworkers, "Do you know of anywhere that is hiring?"  {e:dies}They shouldn't fire me, mainly because they are so short on workers. That makes me feel better.  (and if they do fire me, they'd have to fire J, the other girl on my bank)On a happy note, I have a gallon of cookie dough ice cream ALL TO MYSELF. Would you like some? TOO BAD!!! STEP AWAY FROM THE ICECREAM!!!! I'm having it for lunch. |
| I was writing in my prayer journal yesterday evening. I had just written this: "Lord, help me to find a niche in (the Christian fellowship group I've joined), please? It'd help me a lot just to have Christian friends around me. And help Micaela and I to get a friendship going, Lord." Now, I generally don't pray for specifics things. Mostly I end up saying, "Your will be done, Lord." Just to prove to me how awesome He is, do you know what happened? 10 to 20 minutes later there was a knock at the door. It was Micaela. She wanted to walk to the meeting with me. God is powerful beyond words. |
| I might be doing a webcomic with a friend. I just hope that this thing actually happens. It seems like so many times I have started something only to quit after a few days. We have completed our first comic. I'll post it when I get a chance. (I'm not on my own computer at the moment...) Quick funny: I heard that there was a mandatory student worker meeting on Tuesday. I went to the building and was waiting around. Finally I called a friend and found out that I was a week early for the meeting.  Oh, last thing: It's a possibility that it's Steev the Friction Wizurd  's 87th birthday this week. Who knows for sure, though? |
| Has a tough day today. Classes weren't hard. Just a tough day. I might have lost my mind in Logic. For a second I actually thought I needed ritalin. When I'm overly emotional, I get hyperactive and chattery. When I run low on energy, though, I really crash and burn. Where in time is Carmen San Diego? |
