sorry if i am.... but i have accidentally gotten myself back on my "nocturnal" schedule... and for reasons not to be explained i am currently banned from facebook......
my only outlets left are myspace (not as cool as facebook), watching shows on abc.om or fox.com (already caught up on EVERYTHING that i like to watch and not interested in adding another show the list to follow up on) , or surfing through handful of religion related sites....... which brings me to my post....
This site....bugs the crap out of me....and there is no place to comment (aka argue and challenge) what they say......I found it from those "ads by Google" things, you know the creepy ones that always know the key words related to the sites you surf or emails that you get.... and the headers/titles always relate to stuff you are interested in.... technology is amazing sometimes.
And also stupid... i mean if i clicked it how many other ppl are reading this crap..... and 1)believe it or 2) associate it with all christianity ...... i actually liked it at first until i kept reading..... :(
anyway, go to link if u have time..... its pretty long winded and not easy on the eye to read.... and they even have some cool bios of ppl like william penn..... haha quakers........ bc they seem to have outlasted the test of time.....
thats all....i will be up for much longer im sure, so maybe i will post more interesting sites i find ?
who knows! :)
Oh, and just for the record..... Hall V Worthington.... you are nuts!!!

bragging rights
(i know 3 times in one day..... im on a role...technically its the next day now though...)
just a short time for me to express how extremely proud i am of myself tonight....and all bc of college basketball....strange i know.....
for anyone who doesnt know, i dont follow basketball...unless the suns are in the playoffs (yes i enjoy the band-wagon occasionally) but my bf on the other hand is basically obsessed with following it ....more so the UofA (*cough u of lame*) mens team and so he makes me fill out the NCAA Tournament brackets with him in order to humiliate my lack of knowledge .... Well this year I have completely surprised myself and beat him.....!
i will admit we started late and i did get a couple freebies in the first round.. (he wouldnt let me get away with not sharing that info) but my strategy really was all guessing.... and which city i thought would be more fun to visit..... and thanks to some random caller that called into the radio station i listen to and cheered about how great Kansas was doing this year...... I chose them going .....all...the...way.......(not so random now was it...hmm)
Yay to me .... I WIN...sweet sweet victory and bragging rights for life..... :) :) :)

adventures in yard-sale-ing
so being in the financial situation i am(i guess you have to have money to have a financial situation right??) i thought it would be great to join my family in selling my old junk that i no longer enjoy to other people from the comforts of our front yard.
all i have to say is that i would rather donate all of it and be done with it......No i would rather not sell my old lucky jeans for nothing... its heartbreaking. Plus I have so much junk its not worth the hours spent pricing all of it.
And then there's my mom, whose point of view is that she just wants to get rid of it...therefore all of her items were basically going for 25 cents..... (um hello the tax write off would be more rewarding)
I was extremely jealous of my sister-in-law because she actually had the good stuff that people wanted.... furniture, baby clothes, toys.... those at least are things to take pride in! I dont own any of those things.... i mean really i am the type of person that needs to be shopping at yard sales!
the upside to the weekend..... hanging with the ladies of my family and drinking starbucks....oh and i kept my moms old belt she was going to sell....what a fool....its so back in style now!
other highlights included...benjamin trying to sell all the kids his cool toys "from when i was a baby"..... the one old man who tried to bargain on EVERYTHING.....( i mean really you cant spare the 50 cents mr i pulled up in a cadilac) and the best of all my mom:
"Yard sales are awkward...its like people are afraid to let me know they dont want my junk....like they are going to hurt my feelings or something.... but i dont like it either...thats why im selling it"
if anyone is interested i will be at it again this weekend..... lots of my shoes are going for just $1.00!
P.S.
I ended up not selling my old lucky jeans....and I am actually wearing them right now...!

being a "therefore" christian
sooooooo where to begin tonight? i have (since my last post) come to realize that it can be a very beautiful thing to be broken.
i was very wrong in my statement.... it is not sad that all i have is jesus. It is an amazing thing (so amazing that i cant really even begin to comprehend) that all i really need is jesus. thats it..... just him... nothing and no one else. I cant continue to rely on other things and other people to validate my life......
i think this is a big steps towards him, that i have been very hesitant to take. But like i have said before, the more i ignore something the bigger it gets and tends to sneak up on me eventually.
i have had a new concept presented to me about being a "therefore" christian..... very good way to look at life. it was presented to me using psalm 46 (considering my presenter, there are most likely more places the concept can be used...)
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
and the mountains quake with their surging.
anywho.... the version i was presented was much longer :) i just wanted to give a heads up to all two of my readers that i am in a better place now.... and thank them for their good thoughts!

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
and the mountains quake with their surging.
basically..... being a "therefore" christian is putting into action our knowledge/trust/faith in god. yea, god is always there and he is all i need.... but it doesnt stop there.... because of those things (or therefore) my actions/life should reflect those things that i know and believe

tonight = lame
ok.... i might as well be honest and say the past 4 months = SUPER LAME
i want the feeling back when i had a renewed spirit that was excited for everyday..... so much has attacked my soul...my life...my mind....my heart...my self esteem...my body.... every aspect of my life is completely drained...completely confusing....completely MESSED UP
just for fun...here is an illustration of the above...
i always felt like none of that ever mattered as long as i kept my eyes on Him.... right?? good christians dont need anything except their faith...their relationship with god...he is everything....thats all you need ...etc etc
yea...*rolling my eyes right now* except that its not right to have not one real physical strong hold in your life, some person who completely loves you....unconditionally...completely.....WITH ACTIONS and knows you......cares about you.....thinks about you......
someone who is dependable....and always there for you no matter what....wants to share their life with you... doesnt just TELL YOU these things but ACTUALLY does them................
i have ONE.... yes just ONE person that is all of those things to me....jesus
and its truely amazing .....but at the same time (especially tonight) totally heartbreaking............ that i have one constant in life and i cant even see him, other than him i feel completely alone

junk mail
just a notice....i absolutely hate the following junk email:
ok...ranting finished, what i really wanted to do was share this email that i insisted my roomie's mom forward to me. its extremely relevant to the current "theme" of my house (me and my 3 female roommates) .... at least its relevant to my personal point of view:
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies:
1. The Japanese eat very little fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages/fats
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
- 10 million best friend/religious/advice/wisdom quotes (YES! I have read them all... none of them ever say anything new EVER)
- attempts to create awareness for some sick kid/about a new law/money winning contest/my email service is going to drop me (email is not the way to go about ANY of those things)
- support our troops crap (not that i dont support them...just i dont care to see it in my email with animations of american flags and little bears in army camo set to patriotic tunes)
- inappropriate pictures or animations (at one time, yes, even I enjoyed these.... not anymore...what can I say...God purifies you)
- "forward this or else" or "see who your real friends are" messages (nothing is going to happen to you and i already know who my real friends are...thank you)
- funny jokes (funny is the key word...please think before you add my name to the forward list)
- links to interesting articles/websites (interesting is the key word...see side note above
