woah!

^story of my life :D

lol since day one...c-section..to falling down wooden stairs...to tea party incidents...to stitches..to spider bites...to 12 emergency room visits! my life is woah!! but the most woah thing is...im updating in a timely fashion! what now!

you can put that in your dunderfunk and smoke it

*steeples fingers* it appears that tj has ruthlessly sabotaged my tbn account....how did he do this atrocious crime you ask? How can we aid you in your justified quest for retaliation you ask? well, ill tell ya

1. He changed all my pm's so they look unopened...and most of them are now titled "spam"

2. He then messed up tbn as a whole..sometimes not being able to send pms...sometimes not being able to see my posts....sometimes changing the font size to who knows how big :P

3. ...i actually have no idea what you can do.....other than offer moral support and comments?

lol but tbn doesn't really deserver the top of my xanga...my easter weekend should...its sad when you think about it really. I know how much more important easter is than pretty much anything else in my life...but my communication getting cut off from my friends has a bigger impact on me...lame! I think this shows a serious deficiency somewhere...or maybe its the deficiency we're born with, either way i don't like it.

How were all of your easter's, we had a great service...it was just one of those days...when its really hard to feel anything...maybe you guys don't have that and im a cruel callous individual :P ahh this makes me remember the verse about the heart of stone and the heart of flesh...

oh! kt is back from haiti! *sings the song* kt's back from haaaiti *uh* yeah she's back from haaaiti *hoo wah* lol do the hula with me! AMAZING phone convos are back :D not that i don't have amazing phone convos without her..but not in a kt sort of way :D

i feel lame...as seth would say "you wet blanket" :P i've missed so many events...starting with andrea's bday...then dancing lessons..and skateville(i would have gone if i had known who was coming :P) and now i can't watch Phantom of the Opera on saturday.

It just hit me how blessed i am to have so many friends who are on fire for God! It helps me so much..just little things...like titles on xangas or something they'll say and ill think "woah..that's right!" thanks for keeping it all in perspective!

hopefully ill be feeling less contemplative and give you guys something more entertaining next time :D

*sings* a whole new....xanga!

Hey everyone! i haven't really updated since...who knows. Mike says he can't get on my xanga because of the music...so off it goes *sniff* i liked my fireflight song! and not just because it was a woman lead singer...

My sisters had a joint family bday party and it was pretty good. We have an..interesting family, but that's a whole different subject. :D My gosh i love mint chocolate chip ice cream *is about to make a comment comparing women to ice cream* hm, actually i don't think i can pull that one off. And sometimes women read these posts..and it would just be plain weird to read something like that when you're a girl! *stops and reflects on the utter randomness of it all* oh yeah! i watched the old willie wonka movie! I LOVED it! so many great lines!

"All questions must be submitted in writing"  < my new motto :D

I'm on half spring break this week! which in essence means...i take just as long to do school because i procrastinate more with the small amount of work i have...but i've gotten a lot of piano done! I'm starting to be able to play songs with a lot of "feeling." Its *stolen kt quote* "way much fun."

augh! kt is gone in haiti! all those who miss her must... use a semi colon in their responses :D

                                         ";"

Serious stuff...skip if feeling too random..or tired...or have taken drugs lately...or have sniffed sharpies in a 24 hour period

-------------

What do you do when God's command to love everyone comes up against someone seemingly manipulative and a filthy liar?? How can you love and not get taken advantage of? How much are we required to sacrifice in a situation like that? Is there such a thing as "smart" love? ack...thoughts on this would be nice :D

On a brighter serious note, i read something that i thought rang very true. Something along the lines of "The measure of a man is in what he loves." This is so true! If a person loves noble and worthy things he is more likely to become noble and worthy! Conversely, if we take delight in base and petty things... doesn't that inspire you to love great things? and God most of all!? c'mon let's hear a hearty amen :D

-----------------------

haha there, serious stuff done. We need a tbn party! hmm there's one on the 13th..hope to see you all there! 

and *wha bam* his xanga was redone...

lol hey everyone :D its been to long since i updated...and i won't insult you by doing a halfhearted one when i have no time...so stay tuned! and if nothing comes on..write a nasty letter to my sponsor :D

Little children mock my life

Time: After Soccer

Place : Soccer Blast

Situation I'm talking to Christie when this little kid starts talking to me...

Little Kid: Hey! are you red or blue?

Me: *pull up sweatshirt to reveal color* yep im blue

LK: *smirk* you lost!

Me:....i know

LK: eight to one!!!

argh that'll crush your sense of self worth :P luckily i had little to lose :D

The soccer game was actually a lot of fun! Mr Rust says we should be unable to run when we come off the field..i like it :D

Im officially going to mexico on a missions trip!!! i feel so sorry for mexico...mike, caleb p, and i are all going...on the same plane :P our pre trip plans have consisted of planning to journal our every insignificant move and throw orphans off cliffs...hmm

let's see...oh! for Singles Awareness Day (aka Valentine's Day) i...almost called a girl lol! but that's about the extent of my endeavours..blah i wanted to prank the nibbe's house with some other guys..but i was merely laughed at by my parents :(

I also got togo to the schmitt's house...but i missed the scavenger hunt...but since i was at the house before everyone else i managed to talk to the extremely awesome mr and mrs schmitt :D

Me: hmm is there anything i can do to help set up?

Mr S: why yes...come in here...and eat your food

lol :P While i was there i also managed to photocopy and steal every page of jasm..i mean hannah's pirates of the caribbean piano book...i mean "play" it :D

oh my goodness i have too many things to tell! ill post more later..remind me to talk about the matrix, basketball, and surprise albain visits at SH :D

*turns on flashlight*

once again i tread the dark and lonely path of xanga updation.....

lol! events happen in my life then i forget them...a rather sad way to live perhaps but fortunately i don't rememeber! so im happy :D

but i do remember some things!

I've been very unmotivated in doing my schoolwork...probably had something to do with realizing i was a week behind in chemistry..hum..luckily intense short term memory is one of the few skills in my possession...woot for memorizing polyatomic ion chart in the car!!

Our sunday school started a new book "when i don't desire God" its the followup to the original, so basically learning how to apply christian hedonism more effectively i think. I'm hoping that will be good.

AND! i ordered three piano books off the internet...Dead Man's Chest, Fiddler on the Roof, and Prince of Egypt.

oh man i love it so much! music is great! each of those books has at least one hauntingly beautiful piece...i hsould memorize something. Hmm i should steal Seth Johnson's piano books too...he's really good at memorizing he doesn't need them :D

For CLS basketball a bunch of us traveled to Mt Lake...jonah, caleb, dean, scott, matt, derek, paul, anni and the rest of the gang. Jake broke out the "connect four" game :P we had an amazing tournament! Jake of course, organizing the brackets, made sure that i played him first :P i made a fatal mistake two of the times we played, but or second game was a great battle...once it starts getting complicated i do better lol! but of course, derek won! (as he did last year) woot derek!

I did my homework during most of the first game ...and then we had our game...lol our locker room was the girls locker room with a "visitors room" taped to the door *rolls eyes* mitch and i were dubbed the "disruptors" because of our "unique" playing style...which means we have no talent but we run really fast :P We lost our game...but we played hard! we could have beaten them.... I then proceeded to do some more school while the girls varsity played for a while..then during the second half i came into the gym to find our bench (jonah, matt, caleb, luke and the rest) yelling intense cheers! I was immediately swept up in the moment of loyalty to our varisty women! I picked up half of the cardboard "d" that had been ripped in half and joined in :P Jonah had a great cheer...Tenacious!! D!!!!! Tenacious!! D!!!!!  ah great times...Sink...THE...THREE! *swoosh* rachel sunk a three right after we said that  :P We also cheered on the varsity guys...but with not as much enthusiasm...we lost all our games but had a great time! On the way back...jonah and sung for over an hour and a half...it ROCKeD! i fell asleep after three that night...

Yesterday, of course, was anni's party. While looking up directions to her house i almost got a criminal background check on mrs billman :P but it would have been 50 dollars...I arrived at anni's house right after pictures so i was already wearing semi-non-sloppy clothes, i wanted to change into a t shirt but the unanimous opinon of the people in the room was.."andrew for once in your life you look nice, leave it on" ouch :P

It was a great party! It was really interesting because everyone was dressed up

oops gotta go...but before i leave let me jsut say one thing...swing dancing with christie=*speechless*

and i can't dance worth beans :P
