| It won't be too long now until I'm a recording artist for the second time. Excited? Definitely, yes, without a doubt. It, also, won't be too long until school is back in session and I'll be forced to take my place among those who are, well, not quite as "me" and me. What does that mean exactly? Heaven knows, it could mean anything. Perhaps it is all for the best that they are not "me", because, if more of me were out there, I'd lose the bloody franchise. Mind you, the franchise itself is not in actuality bloody, but it is very (and I do say "very") very very swollen. Swollen? Please, don't ask where that came from. I couldn't tell you even if I knew, and perhaps it is better that I don't actuall know, because if I did, I'm sure it would be a most unwanted and burdensome thing to know. Yes, I'm completely sure of it. Life has treated me well recently, so, I can't complain. Though I may occasionally find reason to, I quickly find that most of my complaints are in vain and shallow. Yes, shallow. For New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, I was mostly dressed as a pirate. It was fun, and everyone else didn't seem to mind, and even if they did, it was my house (on New Year's Eve, anyway), and I think that I should have the right to dress however I want even when company does come over. Yes. I had the red bandana covered in skulls and and gold hoop earrings, along with the big silver bracelet and my wristband that says "Shiver Me Timbers", and three (count 'em, 3) necklaces around my neck (one of which I am wearing right now) that all spoke something "piratey". My shirt had a skull on it with the words "Pillage Ocracoke" printed above and below, and stuck into my bandana I had a black, chicken feather. Most interesting, yes? Yes. I had the heavy eyeliner and the heavy black eyeshadow, and was said to resemble a certain Capt. Jack Sparrow on more than one occasion. Yes, it was fun, and I'll do it again at the first chance. I have become more obsessed with pirates. It's great, and I love it. Revel in it, land lubbers. But, in all actuality, I am, in fact, a land lubber, as I do not live near the ocean. I'm about a 5-8 hour's drive away. Sad, really. Yes. Forgive me the constant "yes"-ing. You're just jealous that you didn't think of it first. (how's that for a bipolar switch?) Good afternoon, good evening, and good night (wherever in the world you could possibly be). God bless! | | |
| When forever seems to close in around you, and the concept of eternity doesn't leave your mind, you begin to realize that reality is just that... reality. For instance... the reality of this being that I haven't posted anything on this poor blogsite in, well, what would seem for most to be an eternity. I'm sure to a fly it would seem like an eternity, for, sadly, they don't live but for, what, 20 hours or so? That's really unfortunate, but, it doesn't matter because I hate flies.
Anyway, life has actually been really good for me lately. I finally started attending Liberty University this past September (as I have been trying to do for the past 3 years or so). Haven't had to go to the doctor for anything, though, I've been told I should, but, that's something I won't do until I'm almost literally on a bed of death. I'm fine, though, mind you. A little stomach acid never hurt anybody... wait, yes, it did. Whatever.
Back in September, much to the surprise of most people I tell this to, I was named as the Youth Pastor at my church. ((SHOCK)) Yes, a woman... pastor. Oh, squirm, legalists. God looks on the inner person, doesn't he? But, of course, we always tend to look at the negative in something instead of the positive. Our youth group isn't very big at all, with only about 10 kids every Wednesday. We're, actually, more of a young adults group, really, because most everyone is in their late teens.
I have recently really felt God's will for my life in the music department. I've been singing for practically my whole life, and, it wasn't until a few years ago that I picked up a guitar and started leading in praise and worship music. It's a blast! It's an absolute blast! Anyone who does what I do and says it isn't obviously isn't called of God to do it. God has called me to be a leader in many different ways (why? don't ask me. I'm not God, clearly), and, it really is a priviledge to do what I do. Thank you, Lord, because you truly are the awesome God that everyone claims you are. I really feel like that's where I want to be, leading people in God's praises, I mean. I love it.
My major in college is Youth Ministry, and, already, people kind of look down on that when I tell them. But, that's ok. Yesterday, I sat outside a classroom before it ended up at Liberty and listened as they talked about "W0men in Ministry" (yes, that's a deliberate typo because that's what was up on the projector screen in the classroom). It was a New Testament Survey class, and, I have actually met the guys that were teaching it. They didn't actually look much older than me, maybe being in their mid-20's. (I'm only 19, ok?) And, I know it may be wrong of me, but, I couldn't help but feel both insulted and angry at what they had to say. I go to a mainly Baptist college, ok? And, even though I go to a baptist church, it doesn't mean that our church is quite as traditional as your normal baptist church. But, this college is. And, even though they offer women's ministry degrees and have classes in it, and are trying to claim that women can be in ministry just as much as men can, you can still see what they're saying if you listen and watch closely. They almost demean women in the ministry opportunities that they offer to them.
Well, I'll get off that soapbox for now. It's not worth arguing about.
Scaremare was back in October, and it was mad-awesome. I stress the mad-awesome. And, I'll leave it at that.
Thanksgiving was good. I had a good time getting really really full.
We're coming into the Christmas season, and, I'll be 20 this December 25th. But, it's not about my birthday, thankfully, it's about Jesus' birthday. Hopefully, people won't get too caught up in the rush-rush-rush that goes along with this season (which, I have no doubt that we all will to a point, right?) but, we still need to remember what it's about. Love people, ok? Love Jesus twice as much, and you won't have any problem with the first part.
It doesn't help that I"m listening to "Pretty Fly For A Rabbi" right now. I love that song. I have it on my little MP3 player, and I was listening to it the other day while waiting for class to start. And, even though I was the only one that could hear it, I couldn't stop laughing. Much to my dismay, I'm sure I had an audience of people looking at me wondering what on earth I was laughing at. But, thankfully, not a lot of people talk to me up there, anyway, but, that's mainly because people are a little snobby there (sometimes, not always), or just shy, or just reluctant to talk to the girl in all black that carries a doctor's bag that's quitely laughing to herself at... what?
Yeah, my purse is a doctor's bag. Those teacher I was telling you about earlier? That's how I met them, because they liked my doctor's bag... actually, they were kind of flirting with me, but, I'll leave that alone, too. Poor college boys.
Project 86 rawks mheye sawks.
Well, that's all for me. Thanks for reading, those of you who actually have. God bless ya'll...
