I have a HENNA TATTOO!! haha. I know, I know. I'm easily amused, but i've never had one, and I am quite pleased with mine. Rachel heard that they were giving out free ones in RVD so a bunch of us went over to check it out. I should have been working on a paper, but it was a welcomed break from the confines of my desk.... oh, and don't worry, it's in a perfectly obvious and appropriate place. ;-)
Sorry i've been so busy lately guys... I know i've been ignoring.. well alot of you. =( This has been a busy week and unfortunately the next few are gonna be pretty similar. I love you all, and if I get too distracted please let me know and, if I can, i'll stop whatever i'm doing that is distracting me. School is important, but you've gotta learn to balance work and friendships.
Today I bought banquet tickets! I hope it's a super fabulous time. No wait, scratch that... All the kids going are super cool, so I KNOW it'll be a super fabulous time! Our floor is (hopefully) performing beat it at the dance... that'll only be possible if Kyla, Rachel & I get our acts together and finnish the choreograhy..*crosses fingers* There is so much stuff to do right now, I just hope it all works out smoothly. =D
To those of you who keep me in your prayers: could you please pray for me that I will keep my focus on my work and managing my time for the remainder of the semester? I've been feeling convicted about this lately, but it's something I still struggle to balance... Not only does it distract me from the reasons i'm at this school... it also keeps me from spending time with God... I just need to buckle down for a few weeks, pull out great grades, and keep my focus on God. I'm trying to also stay involved with dorm life.... I also miss you all who are out of state.. You're in my thoughts and prayers. The cycle never ends! haha
God Bless!

Lacrosse!
I just ate 4 croissants... talk about too much fatty food... but boy were they good! mmmmmmm
So guess what I did yesterday? That's right, you guessed it! I DID attend my first ever lacrosse game... It was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot about the game... Games like that are so much fun when you're with friends! =D I wish I had pictures 'cause we were acting really crazy. Half-way through the game we started experimenting with french animal noises as cheers. good times... We also marvled at the fact that in lacrosse the players can wack the crap out of each other with their sticks.. and it's legal! haha.
I'm listening to Weathered by Creed. This is one of those cds that is really good musically but you need to put it away for awhile in order to fully appreciate it again.... and Jon just walked into my room, dumped a pile of candy on my desk and left... alrighty then.. lol. slightly strange.. and oddly normal simultaneously...
Well I need to do some homework... I love you kids! God Bless and i'll talk to ya later!

To all the Nice Guys of the World.... Have a little hope!
And then the screen was pink... I don't want to hear any crap about how my blog is now pink *crosses arms and attempts to look serious*. eeeeee! I don't like pink very much but with a name like "disgruntled pink fuzzies" I had no choice.... Wittwer LOOK!! *jumps up and down like excited puppy* it's our band name!!! weeee!! the Disgruntled Pink Fuzzies WILL go public before long!! hehehehe.... sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Not too much going on here. I went home over Spring break. Had fun there with many of y'all... I'm still missing some of you!! *tear* For Easter I went to Isle of the Palms con mi familia. That was rocktastic.. woot!
So... random rant:
This is an interesting world we live in. I've had 3 conversations with 3 different guys today, all of whom were in love with a girl. The similarity? All 3 told me something along these lines "I love her so much. She has so much potential if she'd JUST CHANGE but she just doesn't see it yet. I still love her and I think she will..." Ok so it's not everyday that I hear the same story from 3 different guys.. Especially when they're all great, strong, loving guys... What's up with this? I just don't understand it...... These are all good Christian guys, and it sounds like the girls they are in love with aren't so strong & spiritual... Now don't get me wrong, I'm no prophet and I don't know what God has in store for people's lives. I just don't understand why these really good guys put up with someone who isn't on the same page? There are people out there who don't need a significant other to be happy or to know God's will for their lives... People who do only run into trouble... I think a lot of you get this.. but then why is it still happening?? I totally understand that you can't help who you fall in love with.. OoooHooo beleive me I know. lol... But at the same time... if you don't make each other happy when you're dating.. why on earth do you think that when you get married things about that person are going to change?? No no no no no... lol. Marriage is enough work without having extra baggage attached! Change happens without you... meaning that if someone is going to change they're not going to do it FOR you... People are happy just the way they are. You trying to change them = them not being happy... Now if they decide on their own they want to change then great... But stop waiting for it to happen... pleeeeeeaase.... So my message to you nice guys is... Have some hope for pete's sake! lol. Don't compromise what you need and deserve in a girl because you're in love... Compromise is good within a relationship, but changing big things in a person isn't usually gonna work... There are girls out there like you, I promise... Girls this goes for you too obviously... *sigh* I just needed to say that. in any case. I love you all dearly and I think about you all the time.
I can't get simon & garfunkle out of my head... This could make me crazy pretty quick! lol.
I am a rock.. I am an iiiiiiisland..
....
aaaah!! make them stop!
Well I love you all!
God Bless and have a great day!

Realization... and some hope
Have you known a person who could come home from a night out with great friends and good fun and still feel like something is missing?
...
That's me tonight... And I'm not entirely sure why. =(
There is something missing for me. Although I am happy during the day while i'm out or talking to the people I love, I still come home and feel like something is missing. Only God knows what that could be. I wonder if I spend too much of my time trying to convince myself that things which are good but don't meet all my expectations are things that I can make into excellent things that blow my expectations away. That is, I suppose, what I want; my expectations to be blown away... That way I will only invest myself in things that will give back what is put into them. Lord it hurts me now to realize how much of myself I will never get back.
I like to settle for things that need work. That is because I like to be challenged in what I do, and also because I enjoy supporting others. I need work myself, so I should stop trying to focus on other things and work on myself. That is the only way I will be able to be self-sufficient and whole. God has been working on me for awhile now, but this just proves that I have a long way to go. I've broken myself, and now all I can do is give up and let myself be fixed.
~ ~ ~
Gosh there really is so much joy in my life and all I seem to write about are my problems. hmmmm... Well i'll say this:
I am blessed in ways that never stop amazing me. I have wonderful friends... Absolutely the best friends on the planet. I love you all more than my own life. I know I don't tell you all often enough, but it's the truth. I have a wonderful family who always supports and encourages me in my endeavors. I probably don't tell you enough either but I love you guys very much. My school is another thing that absolutely astounds me. I honestly never knew a place so perfect existed for me. I can't count the times i've sat around and contemplated how I ended up at Calvin. I've never felt a stronger calling to a place in my life. I don't thank God enough for sending me here. I don't deserve this education, but for some reason He sent me the unbelievable blessing of attending this school. Our family is blessed enough to have a good financial situation. .. I don't really know what i've been complaining about lately. I have an amazing life. It's not perfect, but there are so many blessings in it...Honestly... i'm just speechless when I think about this stuff... What is even more precious than all of these things: God has given me forgiveness, hope, fulfillment, and unbelievable love... Well now I feel dumb. What on earth do I have to complain about??
