oks funnies for today? steph grabbed a candy heart and it said "be mine" and then i grabbed one.. it said "u r mine" and thats about the best thing thats happened today.. haha.. minus pasta dinner.. that was good.. stupid jon.. made me roll over my ankle... GRRR!!!!!

the praise God thing?? (well thats hitting me rite now..) how i ACTUALLY understand my lab due today.. how i got it done!(like an hr before it was due) and the pasta dinner went well... minus scrubbing of pots...

the upper? how it's mission accomplished. OH! and my balloon-o-gram.... but theres other things that go with that.. haha

the horrid thing? feeling like you're majorly overweight and then being told you were too fat for your own good repeatedly... lets just say thats not so cool... cuz that can do things to you.. things that you may regret.. in my case??? things i've fought for too long to give up now... im not gonna give up.. its been too long.. it must go.. either it goes or i do, and im not going without a fight. so guys? if you read this, its not you.. its not why im not talking.. its cuz i cant.. cuz if i do, im gonna breakdown and really wanna run to do the unthinkable.. so if i offended you.. sorry..

so.. reading the blogs of my buds. some interesting things come to mind... well.. not ALL interesting.. some hateful things too
1. love
so i was reading a blog of one of my bestest and um very interesting things were said. like.. how love is pain. yes. love hurts. but its also the most wonderfullest (is that even a word???) feeling in the world. sometimes.. it may break your heart... and in those times.. it just feels like your whole world has fallen appart.. and all you wanna do is crawl under the covers and dream of good things and just never wake up.. or even.. just die...

i read lil boy's blog today. and what he said yesterday, made me think real deep...it also reminded me of this one scene in "down with love"...it's a kinda a weird thought.. hehe.. like how many people who are "in love" actually know what real love is? maybe to them its an infactuation. maybe its just lust. who knows? ..i dunno. its just a thought... but if i ever had to make a choice between living without love or death? i'd choose death in a heartbeat. and a thousand times over...

just be aware of the stakes when you choose to fall inlove... dont say i didnt warn you....
2. guys.
so i was talking to one of my friends. and my friend tell me, "guys are jerks". a simple statement. i didnt get it. i didnt think there was any basis for it... i shrugged it off initially.. i mean.. what kinda statement is that!? rite? but... i now know. guys ARE jerks. well.. with the exception of my darlings... hehe.. my dear brothers may act LIKE jerks.. but their not jerks. we all just have those moments. but underneith it all.. their not.

before whoever of you that ACTUALLY read this goes and explodes on me.. let me justify myself. most guys arent jerks. their sweethearts. i just happen to have the 'luxuary' of meeting all the jerks. well. better one meeting all these jerks and get hurt from them, then for everyone to meet one and be hurt... haha.. in the words of the bestest sister in the world? "bother my sister = parking lot discussions" so consider yourself warned, jerks of the world. and be prepared to meet death. and im so dead serious. enough is enough. im sick of all these jerks getting away with all the crap that other people hafta do for them. its now owed to them.
oh. and on another note... let it be official. Feb. 11, 8.13 pm. im breaking my eatting habit. enough is enough.

Saturday, February 07, 2004

oks... thanx to andrew's ingenious idea.. im bloggging now... so i dun forget.. cuz we all know how WONDERFUL my memory is rite? *grinz* hahah

oks.. so some of you know that i havent been doing so well lately... and for those of you that didnt know... yeah.. i havent been doing so well lately.. neways.. yesterday.. i tried to explain myself and my actions to one of my friends about the past. and i just couldnt do it. i was just writing part of it, and i just started crying. i couldnt write it. so i sent what i had written cuz i had promised to. so i just set myself to work cuz i have a lotta work to do (for those of you who arent in universtiy yet... let me just say.... DONT GET BEHIND!!!!!!! ) oks.. so i was doing work.. and i stoped... you see.. thats how it is with me... as long as life keeps on moving, im ok. it's just when life is paused or on hold for a lil bit that these negative things come to my mind. neways, so i tried the explaination of me again. the more i wrote, the more i disliked myself for what i had done. and i was like man, my other friend is right.. all i do is screw up other people's lives. so i was talking to andrew. and i told him. im gonna be gone. i was talking to my twinnie. and she just knew something was up. but i just couldnt tell her... weird huh? i just dunno why. i just couldnt tell her...

neways, after andrew found out what i was gonna do, he spent soo much effort trying to convince me otherwise. he tried to make me promise 2 things. one was to stay close to God, which i promised with great ease. the other? i couldnt promise him. and that was to stay close to at least one person. i just couldnt. now for those that know me well, im just one of those people that if you tore everyone away from me, i'd just die. but here i was. making that decision. as much as it would kill me and as much as i would rather die then to give up everyone, i chose to do that. in my twisted logic (cuz people usually dun think right when they're upset) i chose to give everyone up, so that they would no longer hurt. and it would just be me that hurted because i would hafta be seperated from everyone that i loved.

andrew had some good things to say to me last nite. was i listening? nope. i just couldnt see the truth in what he was saying. as i was talking to my dear fish brother... he convinced me that if i told my twinnie what was really going on, she'd understand it. and that tehre was nothing that i could really hid from her. i knew she knew that i was beating around some bush... in the words of my other twinnie, "if anyone does anymore beating around the bush, im gonna beat them with the bush!" so i told her. and it was good. in a way.. it was kinda like how things used to be. she would always know when i wasnt so good. but anyways.. back to the point. i went to bed shortly after. and i was reading this book that im reading with my class. well.... "reading with my class" cuz im soo behind.. but whatever. and it was amazing. it was just kinda like God hitting me in the head with truth and saying "silly child.. what ARE you doing?" to which, i just kinda hafta say " i dunno..." and give him an angelic smile.... well... as angelic as i get... haha.... which isnt very much.. hahha....

this morning i got up. and i felt so old. not just agewise.. but physically, i just felt SO old! i woke up aching all over... weird huh? but i woke up and i still had my baby in my arms.. so it was all good. hahaha.. (dun ask....) and it was weird. i picked up this book. its a devotional kinda thing. its called "streams in the desert". now honestly? i dun read from it. i just have it... it was a gift. but anyways. what the book was saying, was along the lines of what that book said last nite and what andrew was saying to me. so THAT gets you thinking rite? 2 books. same thing. hmm.. but i just shrugged it off.. iwas like meh. whatever.. cuz it couldnt mean that much rite? so i picked up this other book i've been neglecting. its called "my utmost for his highest" and yeah.. usually those two books have 2 completely irrelevent and differnt thigns that they talk about... so its kinda like hmm...cuz utmost usually talks about daily living and we could all use some pointers rite? and streams in the desert usually is just something else altogether. but ya know what? those 2 had the SAME thing to say.. how weird is that? so i was like hmm.. this is getting kinda odd.. so i just upted and showered. haha...

neways. i then come back. and guess what? i had an email. sure thats nothing special.. except, this email is from a friend thats not quite talking to me at the moment. and its kinda like weird.. cuz of why we're not talking.. but whatever. and my friend had the EXACT same thing to say to me. weird huh? 1. i get an email from my friend thats not quite talking to me and 2. the email was talking about what was already said to e like so many times.... like you gotta start wondering rite? so quick recap of the sources 1. andrew, 2. "the purpose driven life" by rick warren, 3. "streams in the desert" by l.b. cowman, 4. "my utmost for his highest" by oswald chambers, 5. the email from my friend thats not really talking to me. in that order. so 5 different people. 5 different aspects. 3 of them, i dun even know... 2 of which are dead.... 5 different trains of thought. all had to say the SAME thing to me. hmm... coiencidence? maybe if it was like 2 of them.... but like 5 of them?? in less then 12 hrs? AND i was sleeping durning part of that time??? i'd think not. what an awsome God we have. He never gives up. and He still speaks to his people. and hes patient.. im like super deaf to him or something... haha...

so now.. how am i? grateful to be in pain (hm... weird eh?? sounds like i wanna hurt myself or soemthing.... haha...) neways, parting thoughts...

cheers.

Friday, February 06, 2004

omg.. its like early and im falling asleep... *sigh* ok hun.. you were rite.. i was stressed.. cuz why else would i be so tired randomly??? *sigh* soo many things going on.... oh wells.... none of which i can remember rite at this instant... so here i am alan.. just for you ... and telling the world random things that im pretty sure they dun really care about.. haha... hmm.. whats new with my life? just missing some people... some cuz they just dun wana talk to me, so i cant really talk to them... some cuz they have a new and wonderful life now, and im happy for them.. but i miss them all the same.. and some just cuz i do.. with no reason to explain it other then i just miss them... oh wells... lets not be thinking about them all and end up crying again rite? haha... (thats only cuz i already had a talk about this with lil boy.. thanx for listening to granny... hahaha) and for the rest of you? DUN ASK. im not explaining it. hahaha
to the request of alan... i suppose i wont neglect my blog.. but whatever...
so...heres whats going on for those of you that just want a quick summary on my life.
whats on my mind?
- math test tomolo
- life.... and not like just my life.. but like life in general.. read silas' blog... you'll get it...
- my dearest alan... hes leaving me for a couple days... so yeah... oh wells
- my hun... hun's not doing so well these days.. but its ok.. cuz hun is comming over on sat..... *grins*
- boys.... specifically .... MY boys.... (is THAT better for you???? *ahem*... hahah)
- my friends... some... just... arent being them selves...
- stupid james... urgh... im gonna smack him... and no sammi.. not haily... like other james.. the scary one from here...


what i've lernt lately
- if you love someone, tell them... always be straight up with those around you.... its better in the end...theres no such time as the right time... whats wrong with now??? rite?
- "for those who believe, no proof is necessary. for those who don't no proof is possible" ~ unknown
i used to think that that was only for like pre-c and how we deal with them... but its not... in almost every
situation thats been thrown at me lately, thats what i always found myself saying... weird huh? i think i get now... i
think i finally understand it... so im slow.. big whoop. its not like you guys didnt already know....
- "you'll never know that God is all you need until God is all you got" ~ Rick Warren.
THAT is another one thats so true too... thats what i kinda learnt this year.. when it really really REALLY comes
down to it, God is all you got. and if you dun have Him, then you dun really have much of anything... ya know?or
maybe revert back the the previous quote... .hahah... circular reasoning.... the dumbest thing in the world.. cuz it
really proves nothing and it REALLY is impossible to argue.. hahaha...
- "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love"
that part of 1 Corinthians 13 never really hit me til i read part of "a love worth giving" cuz someone left it here...
*ahem* hahah (woa.. whats with me and *ahem*s?????) neways.. i cant really explain this.. cuz yeah.. it needs
context... and thats just a lil hard to explain in one go, to the world, so that they will understand.. but if you
wanna understand, find me.. i'll explain it then.. cuz everyperson understands something differently.. so yeah...
- "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."
that verse is from II timothy 1:7.. its a lil freaky how i came accross it.. cuz this when you look it up (if you do) is
one of those verses that is most likely to be missed my most ppl... welll... so i think.. but yeah.. it was just odd...
wonderfully amazing, cuz God used lil boy to tell me to look this up... and it was JUST what i needed... so i think lil
boy for listening to God, regardless of what i would think of him.... and i thank God for showing me that passage....
yeah.. ask lil boy... he knows whats going on... so i think... but whatever.. or find me.. but you know me and my
memory rite? its not as bad as dorys, but its almost there.. haha...

i think thats all i hafta say... and so im gonna go to bed before dear gets mad at me or something... haha...

People walk into your life and some people walk out.
Some leave footprints and some leave scars.
Actions done in our anger returns to haunt us.
Actions done; words said; thoughts and feelings should always be apporached with a clear head, an open mind and a calm heart.
Wounds will heal - if you let it.
Picking at scabs and cutting deer into wounds disallows one to heal.
Guilt and hatred bounded around one`s neck will hurt, shatter, and at times, kill a person.
Words, facial expressions, tone, actions, implied thoughts, rigid opinions have a more profound effect then the portrayer and implier understands or knows. Thinking clutters the truth, assumptions cause pain.
So why think.
why assume?
why give opinions?
why ask for opinions when they aren`t even heard?
why, why, why?
Why is a good question.
A question that can never be answered, explained or reasoned.
People come and go all the time.
Treasure thouse aroud you. Never lose sight of yourlsef and keep yourself grounded.
To mearly exist is soemtimes, the only solution a person can have.
No thoughts, no words, no opinions, no feelings.
A blank stare, looking into this world.
The greatest mistake is to loose yourself.


those where the thoughts of the innocent me. now that i see what i do to other people, i just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have been in my life. and each and every day i will remember you and think of you. thanks to one of my friends who made me realize what i did to other people, it is time to take my leave. for those of you that dont know what my friend said, he said, " i was an A student...and then i met you" how can i continue? theres no other way to put it... my friend put it as eloquently as you can put it... i screwed up my friends life. wonderful friend i am eh? in the words of Jesse Yi, "Do it because you want to make a difference in a person`s life." and the best differencei can make in a perons life, is to undo the damage. so this is me, saying thank you for all you have done for me, and im sorry for all i did for you and to you. maybe someday in the future we`ll meet up again, and this time around, i wont mess up the lives of those around me.

loving you and missing you, because there is no other way.
