resting...
I just got home from church.
WOW.
A man named John spoke to us today, about the church in China.
Wow. Just...wow.
My heart's all stirred up, again. This China thing keeps coming up for me...a vision, an opportunity to go...it's all there.
I'm off to sell ice cream now.

fabutan-a-licious.
I went tanning today...for one of the last times. I used this accelerator cream that totally makes your skin burn and turn red...heh...healthy?
ahem...
When I got to the tanning place, there were 2 guys waiting. I assumed they were waiting for girlfriends, and one of them was. One was totally waiting for another guy though...apparently it was "boys' tanning night out"...I laughed inside my head.
While I was waiting this couple came out looking TOTALLY lobster'd. I think they got the same deal as me...the regular brings a newbie, and you both tan free for a week. Thing is, I didn't go everday...no good for the un-sunned skin. But I think those 2 have been just soaking up the fake rays...and they look it.
Anyway....shout out to malcolm and frequency fall. And what the heck, shout out to second too. I haven't been to a show in sooooooo long...but I went to one tonight.
Okay, random post...I'm tired and hungry, but no eating, just bed. Mmm...bed.

hey there...don't steal my duck.
I have this plush duck that I sleep with, because it's softer and cuter than a pillow. Just now I was napping, and my youngest sister came in and stole it.
grr...but I was really too blissfully napp-y to mind.
So, NAPPING!
WOw!
I haven't had a good, refreshing, gloriously awakening nap like this is SO long. It was probably just over an hour-ish of sleeping, but I was so tired and sore and getting stiff when I crawled into bed, that I really had no other options but to sleep.
And sleep I did.
Shoooot. I feel fine. Mmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
This "exercise" may actually be good for me after all.

could it be...naaww....?
I...there's...you see...
This friend of mine, I've kind of liked him for, mmm.....6 years.
And for a while there, he was just into everything I wasn't, so that was fine, it couldn't work.
Then his heart started changing, and he's been becoming, and now is, this amazing man who does love God, and...it's just that much more we have in common.
He's had this girlfriend, beautiful, petite, sunshine-in-his-life girlfriend. So I knew I had no chance.
But they have recently broken up. And I think it's...over.
So I can't help but wonder...
naaaw...could never be.

The sounds I made this morning were...
*snap* & *crackle* care of my knees,
and *achoo* care of all the freakin' blossoms and junk outside.
I hate spring.

getting buff.
Today, I worked.
Yay.
One of our ice cream freezers was off all night (woot...), so the ice cream was fully UNservable.
But...these ladies came in, and they REALLY wanted Praline Caramel Crunch, which had melted, but...there was a new bucket stored in the other freezer, so I got it out for them.
HARDEST ICE CREAM SCOOPING EVER.
Well, maybe not ever...but it was pretty hard.
So that's my day.

in memory.
"We need the enthusiasm of the young. We need their joie de vivre. In it is reflected something of the original joy God had in creating man."
-- his holiness John Paul II.
"A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers. All you have to do is hold your first dying soldier in your arms, and have that terribly futile feeling that his life is flowing out and you can't do anything about it. Then you understand the horror of war. Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still there are things with fighting for."
-- Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf.

collection.
On my way home from the cleaner's, I saw 2 ducklings crossing the street. Poor little guys...they looked so scared and unsure. I think they made it, amidst the roar and relentless power of rushing cars...
I hope they did.

FYI
Just so everybody knows...
"balling" and "bawling" do not mean the same thing.
bawling means CRYING.
balling means...whatever....I don't know. But not crying.
got it? good.

I...need something. Help?
There's a lot in my head. I need to talk to someone. I guess you'll do.
I hate it when I go to write an email to a friend, and I'm nervous. It takes me forever, because I want it to sound just write. Because I'm afraid that if I say the wrong thing, or I make my expectations known...I'll only be let down.
Then again, I called a friend today, left a message...and when he called back, all my fears were put to rest. He's a dear.
I think my period's coming. School's done, and I miss my friends. Running's going well, but tonight I stayed in and ate ice cream and napped and watched tv...and I can't even enjoy it. I feel so guilty. Like I'm letting somebody down, and I'm not being good enough.
I haven't been singing, and I've got an audition on Friday.
I'm afraid to love the people I care about most, because I hate getting hurt. I'm so hit by this fear that...
I don't know. I don't know where this is coming from. It's old stuff. And it's all in my head, just jumbling around.
I miss being in a Bible study, I miss weekly checking in. I miss knowing exactly who to call when tears are welling up, or fears, or sadness...or joy.
So that's me today. :)
