AH!

Well, today, my hair is a gong show. Even though it's short, there's enough of it to beat me on the grounds of fashion and style.

That made no sense.

I swear to you that I studied for 5 hours today, pretty much straight on through, and for the one exam I have to write, but I don't think I know too much more than I did before.

I'm getting that panicky feeling so common to me @ exam time, when I can't quite breathe (which has been a persistent symptom since I donated blood on Thursday), and I just want to get out and enjoy the stunning, southern albertan sunshiney warm days.

I have to go to an ivcf meeting now, or soon, something like that, which means just a few hours of talking and discussing and some worship/prayer, but I just feel like I can't handle it.

Who watched LOTR 3 last night? Oh, that was me?

SO who's to blame for all this?

...

EVIE!

when i was a spy...

i disguised myself as a backpack.

connumdrum?

So here's the thing.

It's 8.02pm here in Lethbridge. It's still light out, and warm, basically the ideal spring evening.

What am I doing posting this post, you ask?

Well, I'll tell you.

I'm on pae 6 of my 20 page paper. I have to sing @ noon tomorrow (recital), and my paper is due @ 3pm.

I basically...am...in one of those moments where school seems to be an impossible and foolish (impossibly foolish?) undertaking.

GO YE FORTH AND LIST!

happy easter ya'll.

because i love you.

sad.

today, i left my voice lesson and almost cried.
it was a great lesson, i was just feeling sad.

oh, feelings.

lauren, kayleigh and i were making dinner more or less together tonight, and we sat down to eat together. it was like having a family meal, with natalie and her dad and kasey sitting in the living room (which is open to the dining room, like @ my richmond house).

anyway, our other roomie came in and started yelling at us because she "couldn't get in the door" because our shoes weren't on the rack.

well, thanks grumpy stepmom. thanks for ruining the whole family atmosphere. thanks for dragging us into your pissy mood. thanks for being such an emotional rollercoaster that we're all nauseous.

i can't handle it. especially when she launches into tirades about "having respect for the other people in the house."

ugh.

20 days.

new stuff.

this one is going adventuring in England and the world.

with her wonderful husband.

am i excited?

sad?

scared?

happy?

full of...joy?

yes.

anna, dave...i will be missing, loving, praying for, cheering for, writing to, thinking of, and looking forward to seeing you.

it's about time.

for a new post.

the question is, what to post about?

now, often one logs into blogger.com or xanga.com or myspace.com, with an anecdote, thought, quotation, song, video, picture, etc.. to share with the world.

today, i don't really have any of those things. i just thought it was time to post.

time according to whom? you, faithful reader?

perhaps.

do i really care?

not particularly. that is, i'm not really tortured over my motivation to post.

i mean seriously...why be tortured over things that don't really...matter.

now, earthworms dying all of the sidewalks of lethbridge, that's something i'll hold up a sign to!



here is laurell, singing protest songs to save the earthworms.

(i was googled earthworm pics but they were too gross -- besides, pics of my house show are WAY COOLER!)

kasey glenn.

my newest house-mate.

here she is!

EVERYONE!

I would love for you to meet, the beautiful, wise, witty, intelligent and very dear to my heart, Mikael Bingham.

Seriously, she's amazing.

And yes, her name is Mikael. (I'll give you a moment to come to terms with that).

Ok.

I met Mikael very briefly @ keats one summer -- she came to my cabin and wanted to borrow a vaccuum. That week at keats was awful for me -- and I've always wondered what it would have been like to be in her cabin. However, had I never gone to keats, I probably wouldn't have met her (or Jessica, Anna, Jenny, Ted, Aaron, Sarah, Ange, Dave and Nola, etc) at all. That is someting I can hardly imagine -- I can't really imagine it at all. Mikael has been (and continues to be) one of the most important people in my life.

She lived in Mexico for 9 months, and when she came home, spanish would flow in and out of her sentences.

She's got this gorgeous, naturally red hair -- seriously, people pay for that.

She's got superb taste in music, without being a snob, and she can sing. Also...she'll play ukelele on my next album...I hope.

Umm..she's got 4 siblings, and her parents are wonderful and hilarious and bizarre, and I love them.

She's got a door that's always open, and I love to just walk in and grab a snack or a cup of tea from the kitchen.

Her boyfriend (pictured here) is Aaron Braun, also quite amazing.

Actually, they've both, in their own ways, been examples of grace and forgiveness to me. And Mikael -- well, she's been with me through some stormy times. Hence, I've taken to calling her my best friend. Hard to categorize that, but in so many ways she is.

Anyway, here she is -- the pink-wearing red head (and once, someone I was with told her she didn't have red hair -- that was...weird).

26 days...

if this were my life...

It totally could be.

We both play taylor guitars.

seriously.

maybe that's all it takes.

watch for the parts (near 2nd chorus) where he TOTALLY ISN'T ACTUALLY PLAYING THE PIANO.

and also, the brief wedding ring shot -- totally the video guy (phew).

WORST ANALOGY EVER.

(heard on the miracle channel).

"...it's like the sperm and the egg. Our spirit is an unfertilized egg, and the sperm of God, the Holy Spirit, comes in and impregnantes us..."

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!



sperm of God!?



AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

.co.uk is way cooler.

choir geeks get noticed.

turn around (left side part 2).

should i fall this hard again
your name, still so unfamiliar to me.
is it safe this time, will you catch me?
how far 'til i know?

frozen time stands here before me
and i swear i've been here before.
how will your hand fit in mine,
what is the distance.

in a photograph your eyes enchant me
i can't find words to paint what i see.
don't look at me so closely,
you know i'm lost with you here beside me.

frozen time stands here before me
and i know i've been here before.
how will your words mix with mine
will they fall to the ground?

frozen time lies all around me
i know i've seen you before.
how will you leave me this time?
what is the ending...

imr is everywhere.

in my form and analysis textbook :

"Omission of an Initiating Function

A subordinate theme can acquire formal loosening by giving the impression of starting in medias res. In other words, the theme begins with a continuation or cadential function instead of a standard initiating function (such as a basic idea or presentation)."

yep.
