Pizza!!

Mmmmmmmmmmm
Pizza is gooooooood....

Now all I need is something to do...haha... French fries anyone? (wink wink) =D
Last night we watched "Finding Neverland". 5 girls bawling in a theatre... not my usual scene, but a good time none-the-less. It's a really good movie... Johnny Depp is awesome as usual. This was the first movie i've seen in an extremely long time where there is absolutely no sex or kissing. That's nice once in awhile... And for some odd reason it just makes Johnny Depp more attractive.. ;-)

Man, I miss you all back home. I miss being crazy and random! There just isn't a lot to do around here, and I still don't know enough people well enough to get off campus and/or be myself... It really irks me that when i'm around people I don't know very well I shut myself up. I dont' get it! If Wittwer, Ben, Joel, TJ, Sara, or any of the rest of you were here i'd be fine... I usually get over the shyness and head straight into... well you know. meh. *shrugs*

I had a dream that there were tiny little animals living in my room last night... It's the second time i've had this dream.. hmmmmm.. God must be trying to tell me something... about... tiny little animals... living in my room? Or more likely my stomach is trying to tell me to stop eating candy before bed... ppsh! Forget that! Single girls need chocolate!! It's either that or a boy! lol. *looks at mistletoe* *looks at chocolate* Tis the season! 0=)

Questions to Ponder:

How many Sopranos does it take to screw in a light bulb?
What time is it in Australia right now?
Soda, Pop, or Coke?
Blonde, Brunette, or Redhead?
Is the name "Jessie" a boy or girl's name?

I have this terrible urge to light something on fire... Is that bad? The unfortunate victim of my pyro tendencies may just end up being my Grammar text book. Why oh WHY didn't I take the AP exam?? *wallows in self lamentation* I suppose "this too shall pass" but right now I just want my finals to end.

13 days till my Birthday!! 14 days till Christmas!!! Woot!

I wish you the best in
Peace, Proliferation, and Polka

P.S. I'm curious.. is this template easier to read/load than my old one? I know Wittwer couldn't ever get the page to work, and some of you had problems with it..? Lemme know...

"Goodnight..."

And she went to bed dreaming of slow dances in the moonlight, quiet talks, calm walks, 2nd firsts, and the intense excitement that precedes a new time of development, growth, and reunification... You read into that however you want... ;-)

Love and Stubborness

"Love is more than just a game", she thought to herself as she drove. "It's more than having someone to have fun with...It's all encompassing. Everything you do will in some way involve it." She sighed and pushed a stray hair out of her face. "Some of them just don't get it." She didn't know what made her more angry, knowing that the world didn't understand love, took it for granted, abused it, mistook it for lust, gave up on it, and rejected it, or the fact that she herself was guilty of every one of those things...

She opened her bible to 1st Corinthians 13: 4-7. "Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek to better itself, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth: bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." It was in her nature to jump at certain parts. "ah ha!" her mind would tell her, "That's not something they do!" But something stopped her. "What did you just read?" It said. "You are just as wrong as they are." It was hard to accept the truth. In earlier years she wouldn't have been open enough to let it cross her mind. "Stubborn" she read from the devotional her mother was reading, "the pride that causes us to shun correction, and renders us unable to stop defending ourselves." Oh how true this was. Stubborn pride always led to disaster. This is because of how hard it is to let go of, and how painful it is to injure. She was very stubborn. Maybe not quite to the extent of others she knew, but still, it was there. The word stubborn has gained new meaning in our society. It is sometimes confused with confidence, assertiveness, and high self-esteem. These things are good, but too much of a good thing often turns bad and can turn into stubbornness and pride. Stubbornness and love are like oil and water; they do not mix.

How did this come up you may ask? Well it started when I heard the story one of my friends told me today about her relationship with her boyfriend, but I soon realized that I myself have a stubborn side, and I know many other people who do as well...

Kyla and I had a handstand competition today! I'm not sure who won because people kept trying to WALK down our hallway..ppsh! Oh well... Dorm fever is sure to set in next week so we should have fun while we can. hmmm... my stomach feels kinda funny... Maybe it was the shrimp at dinner... Well I know i'm not pregnant 'cause i'm a virgin... mmmmmm. I miss boys... hehe. ;-)

Got my Christmas shopping almost done today. I even got it gift wrapped for free! Now the problem will be getting the presents home still wrapped. *shakes fist at airport security*. Well, unfortunately I have a lot of studying to do tonight. *sigh* I have a listening quiz in music tomorrow and finals all next week, so ta ta for now! It's just me, the computer, Duke Ellington, and Louie Armstrong for the rest of the night. Yay jazz!

OH NO!!.... I forgot to tape the OC for Rachael... I'm dead. *looks scared*

I love y'all

Peace.

I have been asked to put up a list of things I want for Christmas/my birthday. So here it is for all of you who asked:

Gift Ideas For Me
(just in case you were wondering)

1. Better speakers for my computer (I really like the JBL Creature II Speakers - White by Mac)
2. More hard drive space
3. Printed pictures for my photo album (I really want pictures of you people and I can't afford the paper & my computer won't print them!)
4. Makeup (individual things like packs of eyeshadow, eyeliner, glitter (loose powder), lipstick/lip gloss, eyeliner, interesting nail polish that isn't a dark color especially silver or metallic, etc…) I like eyeshadow and nail polish that is interesting and unique. Oh, and NO eyeshadow that is blue or purple or any kind of neon color please… shimmery is good, just not unnaturally bright colors.
5. Lotion (preferably something that smells nice and non-fruity) ex: "Nivea Renewal Night Lotion", "Bath & Bodyworks midnight jasmine or Vanilla", I like things that are not too fruity and smell more like a light perfume.
6. Blank CD's & Covers
7. Earrings (I haven't bought some simple, pretty earrings since 7th grade. I like dangely ones the best, but casual ones are nice too)
8. Clothing (Although I'd like to go with when buying clothes unless you happen to find something I'd really like) Especially sweaters and more sophisticated looking clothing
9. Money
10. A Lovesack (or money to get one eventually?)
11. Christmas Lights (net lights would be good for the ceiling. Just anything that catches your eye and is pretty. Colors are fine, you know what colors I like)
12. FM transmitter for my iPod (This would be awesome 'cause I'd never have to buy another sterio!)
13. A New computer! (Yay! But I don't expect it to happen. Hahaha.) OR an external hardrive ('cause then I won't need one quite yet)
14. Cool decorating stuff from "The Afternoon" (This is a store in the 2nd level of Westroads. It's just full of cool useless stuff that I like)
15. A Shower rack (The kind that runs on a pole from the floor to the ceiling of the shower. Really nifty and it'd be a lot more practical! They have them at linen's & things)
16. Cooking Stuff for next semester (This can include cookbooks)
17. Posters (I like putting them up in my room… Anything from Monet to movie posters are good. No more kitty cats though…=P Art is nice. )
18. Gift Certificates (for food or stores, whatever, I don’t care)
18. Things for my hair (This is similar to the earring thing. I don't have pretty barrets, big/small hair clips, headbands, bobby pins, scrunchies, thick rubberbands, other cool hair accessories, you name it. I'd really like some pretty things to put in my hair for variety. It's long, so most everything should work!)
19. Stationary and/or pretty notepaper w/ envelopes
20. Stamps! Stamps! Stamps! (they're expensive here!)
21. Pretty stuff from the World Market (I like things from that store, they're fun) or any decorating store.
22. Decorative Pillows (the kind with sequins and designs on them)
23. Journal(s) (I like the kind that are elegantly decorated on the covers… also meaning that they're more expensive)
24. Nice/Expensive soap &/or bodywash (see qualifications for lotion. Hehe. The Afternoon has some really nice stuff.)
25. A trip out to one of my favorite restaurants: (JC Mandarin, Nothing But Noodles, Ahmads, Tokyo Kitchen, Delice, Vivaci, The Macaroni Grill, etc…) This could also include places I want to try like Charlie's on the Lake, Lo Solomio, or something else you think I'd like. =D
26. Socks (it's true, I'm out. I blame the dryer for eating them)
27. HUGS!!! ('Cmon this is essential!!!)
28. Chocolate!! (I will love you forever)
29. Car decorating stuff (the car is cool, but could it be cooler?… hehe.)
30. Good 'ol fashion lovin! (yeah baby yeah! What the world needs now is love!!)
31. DVD's (We college kids occasionally have some free time and that's when these come in handy)
32. Piano Music (preferably that is intermediate to mildly advanced)
33. CD's or iTunes music cards (I always want music that I don't have. hehe)
34. Flowers! (this would make me feel warm and fuzzy inside) =P
35. Coffee mugs (we drink a lot of hot chocolate & soup)
36. A larger CD case (for the cd's that won't fit in the one I already have)
37. A Tucan…. Yes… I want an exotic bird. I shall train it to be an attack Tucan.
The End.
