This Christmas was a fun time. We went to my grandparents for about 5 days and Got to visit with the relatives and extended family up there. Its amazing how much things change over so many years. Its fun to see how every one grows up and changes. My parents have family friends that live up there too and so we visited with them too. We ran around at some museums and all that. Dark chocolate played a vital role in the days that we were there. I was glad to go and visit but I was also glad to come home. Its been a good relaxing break but I'm ready to go back to school. I'm excited about the classes that I'm going to be taking. I'm also going to be running(hopefully) almost every day. And maybe get a part time job, we'll see. I'm ready to get back into the swing of things. It's New Years and then a week and then Mississippi and then back to school. Its going to be busy. And after School is the Summer! And Stephen coming to visit! That's going to be fun. And I'm going to be working my butt off to save up. . . .
hope I'm not going to be working so much that I can't enjoy my summer. But I guess that depends on how I spend my time. I could wake up early and spend the time before and after work in productive fun. . . . Swimming, something else I want to start doing when I get back to school. I miss being at school. The fact that my friends are a 5 minute walk away and I can simply run by is so convenient. . . for lack of a better word.

Procrastinating. . . . Its one of my more developed talents. I think I have it down to an art form. so this is me procrastinating, isn't it lovely? I'm tired, and ready to go home. its funny, I was ready to go home Sunday. I'm not sure, but I don't think that that's a good thing.

Greenfinch and Linnet Brid

Green finch and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it you sing?
How can you jubliate,
Sitting in cages,
Never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits,
Beckoning, beckoning,
Just beyond the bars.
How can you remain,
Staring at the rain,
Maddened by the stars?
How is it you sing anything?
How is it you sing?

Green finch and linnet bird,
Nightingale,blackbird,
How is it you sing?
Whence comes this melody constantly flowing?
Is it rejoicing or merely halloing?
Are you discussing or fussing
Or simply dreaming?
Are you crowing?
Are you screaming?

Ringdove and robinet,
Is it for wages,
Singing to be sold?
Have you decided its
Safer in cages,
Singing when youre told?

My cage has many rooms,
Damask and dark.
Nothing there sings,
Not even my lark.
Larks never will, you know,
When theyre captive.
Teach me to be more adaptive.

Green finch and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
Teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly,
Let me sing.

From the Broadway Musical Sweeney Todd

My, my what an interesting weekend. All the madness started Friday, when I went shopping for my Halloween costume. . . That was fun. I now have what could become a dangerous addiction to Hot Topic. After shopping and just generally creating havoc at the mall my roommate and I decided that it was time that we watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show. OH My Freaken' Goodness! That was so much fun. Then we sat around Newman House and just talked and watched what ever we could find on TV. That was a fun night. . . We stayed up until 2, I think. . . . Saturday I got up at 10:40 and did some homework, not much but I did do some. Hehe, then I took a nap and Went to a concert with my roomy and the Newmanites. We went back to Newman and ended up staying there until about 1:30ish. . . . That place is a black hole I swear. I got a phone call at 2 in the morning. That was fun. . . And I actually woke up in time for Church on Sunday. Yah! Sunday I did more homework and eventually ended up at Newman again, I watched Grey's Anatomy there and made it home at a decent hour, got a phone call from my Mom and Dad. And actually got to bed at 1 I think . . . Monday was Monday, gloomy and cold. It actually snowed! Geesh. . . Choir is getting more and more intense, We have a performance on Friday and we are no where near ready. Monday wasn't too bad, I started feeling a little dizzy towards the end of the day, and decided that no matter what I was going to get to bed early. Yay for crazy weekends with roommates and interesting occurrences at the mall. . . I think that its nap time.
In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright
There's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are

There's a light
The darkness must go
Down the river of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow
Let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life, into my life

There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, a light

In the darkness of everybody's life

Well, this weekend was productive to say the most. Friday, I gave blood(Fed the Vampires). I did ok, no passing out or anything, a little dizzy walking home, but I had Suzanne with me so if I had fallen I would have been ok. After that I took a nap and then went over to the Foster's for dinner and a movie with some other RUF girls. That was so fun, we watched How to lose a guy in 10 days. Good movie and good group of girls. I got up at 9 today! Amazing! Suzanne and I cleaned up the room a little, so it looks descent now, which is nice. I dusted! YAY! I actually attempted to do some homework. I ended up sleeping, I woke up around 6:40, I have no idea why I was that tired but I slept. So that means there is going to be no sleep for me tonight. Maybe I'll actually go swimming, like I've been going to for the past three weeks. But I'm thinking that I definitely have to get out of this room before I go nuts.
I'll tell you flat out
It hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that
I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless
To dictate my own moods
I've thrown away
So many things that could've been much more
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
When I go down
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregard
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them

Maybe I've been the problem Maybe I'm the one to blame But even when I turn it off and blame myself The outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy Maybe I'm the chance of rain And maybe I'm overcast And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain
I've been thinking 'bout everyone, Everyone you looks so lonely But when I look at the stars When I look at the stars When I look at the stars, I see someone else When I look at the stars The stars, I feel like myself
Stars looking at a planet Watching entropy and pain And maybe to start to wonder How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking 'bout the meaning of resistance Of a hope beyond my own And suddenly the infinite and penitent Begin to look like home
I've been thinking about everyone Everyone you looks so empty But when I look at the stars When I look at the stars When I look at the stars, I see someone else When I look at the stars The stars, I feel like myself. Yeah!
Everyone, Everyone feels so lonely Everyone, yeah everyone feels so empty When I look at the stars When I look at the stars When I look at the stars, I feel like myself When I look at the stars The stars, I see someone...
~Switchfoot

When I close my eyes to this paradox place
I'll fly away, far away from here
I'll get away and dream, dream of you

When it's all said and done
And the night has come
I'll disappear, take flight on the wind of wishing you were here
Fading light, like a star whose life has been gone for years

And I'll fly, fly across the sky
And I'll leave, I'll leave it all behind
If you'll be here, here with me tonight
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I'll be fine
~Mae

And its official, the bandwagon is here!

Comment and...

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.

I thought this blog was really interesting and I love the concept. What is your deepest darkest secret? oh and there is a song called "Dirty Little Secret" by The All American Rejects that uses this project, in their music video. Check it out, and maybe some day I'll see your post card up there.

CHRISTINE: Raoul, please don’t make me do this. He’s probably just going to kidnap me again and besides, your plan really sucks.

RAOUL: IT DOES NOT!

CHRISTINE: And if he kidnaps me again, I’m going to be stuck down there forever… getting sexed up until the end of time, or until one of us dies from the massive amounts of constant, 24-7, day-and-night sexing.

RAOUL: He’ll probably make you sing, too.

CHRISTINE: So… what time does the show start?


She is good! check out some of the other movies she does at Movies in 15 Minutes

Shadows

When I got home last night I still felt antsy, so I grabbed my CD player and Walked over to War Memorial. There is a very nice flat space in the front that is ideal for random dancing. I had just made a CD that had some songs that I like to dance to so I had that with me. When I got there I was surprised to find it completely deserted(its usually a make out spot). That made me happy. I started dancing, just random movements that sometimes went with the beat. It felt so good, but I'm sure it looked weird. I eventually attracted some attention. A guy that was walking by stopped to watch, but moved on pretty quickly, at least he moved to the Drill field below me. He stood there for maybe half an hour, but he's back was to me so he couldn't be watching me. I was having a great time, working up a sweat and working out the stress of the week, so I didn't really mind him to much. Eventually I realized that he could see my shadow on the grass in front of the Memorial. . . If he was looking. So I actually did have an audience. I appreciate the fact that he gave me the privacy that he did, I didn't really notice he was there, which wouldn't have been the case if he had been standing on War with me. Unfortunately eventually some less considerate guys took over the Memorial and I went home, completely satisfied and tired. My audience had left a little before me so I wasn't worried about him following me home. I would like to make a tradition of going to War for a dance on Fridays, its a good way to work out the stress of the week, but I think I'm gonna have to get one of the guys to go with me next time. Just for protection. I don't think he ever really saw me dancing, just my shadow moving across the lawn. That's all I was to him or anyone else watching from the field, a dancing shadow. I like that idea.

Sweetness! my feet are so grossly dirty they look tan! haha Yuck. . . I guess that means I need to wash them.
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still my heart this moment
Or it might burst
Could we stay right here
Until the end of time until the earth stops turning
Wanna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
I really like this song. . . Its by Lamb.

anyway I'm really random right now. so I'll stop.

Ok so I stole this from Kathleen, who stole it from Danielle. SO its been around the block a few times. oh and these are in no particular order.
What I love:
Getting woken up in the morning for school by my dad rubbing my back. one of the best ways to wake up.
Singing my heart out, whether in the shower, or when I have a sinus infection and a sore throat and have to sing for a concert. that was awesome.
dancing
hanging out with my friends
The Beach, swimming, just hanging out playing beach games
seeing a really good friend after years and years.
Staying up all night, even though I have a class in the morning
Sleeping over
Waking up early enough to see the moon set and the sunrise
sunsets
cd mixes from friends
making cd mixes for friends
the 5 50
thrift stores
real hugs
kisses
the color red
singing with my windows down and the radio blasting
Thunderstorms in candle light
soccer
Random music stuck in my head that makes me smile
Retreat, and CWSC
massages(giving and getting)
looking at the clouds and making random shapes out of them
breakfast at IHOP
finding money in your pocket
daisies.
the color blue.
mexico.
When your friends tell you they miss you
bubble baths
finding clothes for really cheap
messages people leave while Im away
the smell of Florida
losing your stomach on a rollercoaster
looking at the world through an airplane window
earrings
sleeping in
my blanket
my teddy bear
falling asleep on my rug
Cat piles on the couch
Cuddling
knowing that no matter what he'll always be my friend
crying and laughing at the same time
writting poetry
being loved by the most amazing people
ok, I think thats about it, I can't think of much more
Love you all!

Don't give me songs. . . . . . Give me something to sing about

Alice's Restaurant Massacree

Came to talk about the draft.
And the only reason I'm
singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar
situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a
situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into
the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get
anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.
And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the
guitar.

With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and
sing it when it does. Here it comes.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

That was horrible. If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud.
I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes. I could sing it
for another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud... or tired.

So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part
harmony and feeling.

We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing.

All right now.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Excepting Alice
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

Alice's Restaurant Massacree by Arlo Guthrie

Psalm 51: 1-17

1 Have mercy upon me, O God,
according to thy loving-kindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned
and done this evil in thy sight:
that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,
and be clear when thou judgest. Rom. 3.4
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:
and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness;
that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins,
and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence;
and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;
and uphold me with thy free Spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;
and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
thou God of my salvation:
and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips;
and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice;
else would I give it:
thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
a broken and a contrite heart, O God,
thou wilt not despise.

17 Though the fig tree should not blossom
And though there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield if olive should fail
And the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold
And there be no cattle in the stalls,

18 yet I will exult in the LORD,
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

19 The Lord God is my strength;
He has maked my feet like hind's feet,
And makes me walk on my high places.

The devotional that we studied in Mexico,Claiming the Gospel in Daily Life, Talks about trusting completely in God for everything and realizing that He is in control of everything that happens to us. We also discussed how Faith is an essential part of the Christians life. Although it is a minor book, by an minor prophet, Habakkuk is an amazing example of Faith in God. Habakkuk sees what is going to happen to him and the rest of his people, and although it is horrible, he sings praises to God. His faith is amazing and it shames me. I don't know if I would be able to do what he did.

Mexico

This is a post about a girl who went to Mexico City with a mission team from her Church. The trip down was ok, she was sick and had a stuffed up nose, so that made flying not fun. When she got to Mexico she was astonished by the poverty and colors and the people. There were so many of them! The first couple of days went slowly for her, the team was setting up for the VBS and getting to know the people at the church. On Monday VBS started in earnest and she met her group of kids. They were a great group of kids. Each of the kids on the team said that their group was the best and the crazy. But this girl's group was the Craziest group. Their team name was Los Tucanes. The entire team was made up of boys and maybe at most two girls. After VBS was over in the afternoon they would walk about three blocks to the neighborhood park. She really enjoyed the park, especially the Rapido courts. The Days were pretty much the same VBS and then Park. The nights she and another girl in the group would go out with their host family. They went all over, and saw alot of the culture and life in Mexico. Thursday was alittle different. The church was sponsering a soccer tournament so the entire team ran straight to the park after VBS, the girls sat and watched and Cheered and some of the guys on the team played. As the week went by the girl could see God working in the kids at VBS and at the Park, God was challenging her and her friends to become closer and stronger as Christians. She could also feel God working in her heart and life. I was that girl. Some people come back from a missions team and have amazing stories about how God was with the team and they converted a whole bunch of people. But I can't say that, I can say that we had a great time that we really bonded with the kids. God was with us that week, he protected us and helped us deal with the obsticles that were placed in our way. I can say that I am not the same girl that went down. I miss the kids, I love the city and God willing I will go back next year.

Through My
crumbling world.

You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge, in pursuit of that wish, which till now has been silent, silent . . .
I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge - in your mind you've already succumbed to me dropped all defences completely succumbed to me - now you are here with me: no second thoughts, you've decided,decided . . .
Past the point of no return - no backward glances:the games we've played till now are at an end . . . Past all thought of "if" or "when" - no use resisting: abandon thought, and let the dream descend . . .
What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlocks its door? What sweet seduction lies before us . . .?
Past the point of no return, the final threshold - what warm, unspoken secrets will we learn? Beyond the point of no return . . .
You have brought me to that moment where words run dry, to that moment where speech disappears into silence, silence . . .
I have come here, hardly knowing the reason why . . . In my mind, I've already imagined our bodies entwining defenceless and silent - and now I am here with you: no second thoughts, I've decided, decided . . .
Past the point of no return - no going back now: our passion-play has now, at last, begun . . . Past all thought of right or wrong - one final question: how long should we two wait, before we're one . . .?
When will the blood begin to race the sleeping bud burst into bloom? When will the flames, at last, consume us . . .? Past the point of no return the final threshold - the bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn . . . We've passed the point of no return . . .
The summer has begun, it looks to be one of the hardest emotionally that I have yet to face in my young life. The routinee that I'm used too is going to be completely disrupted, I have a summer job about 20-30 minutes away and I might not be going to CWSC because of the need for money and time. I'm going to west for a week some time this summer for a research job, which I think will be amazing. And then theres the situation with Giovanny. For those who don't know about Giovanny, he is a good italian Christian boy, he's a junior at Tech, he's a mechanical engineer and smart. But he lives in Alexandria. . . so thats going to be a difficulty, I'm really missing him right now. I've been sick for the past couple of weeks and lately its gotten worse, I went to the Doc and got antibiotics and they seem to be working fairly well. so I hope I am on the way to a swift recovery. Jennifer is back from Italia and she came with gifts! She had a really good time, got a lot of italian culture and clothes. This summer looks to be very busy but right now its really boring and disorganized. oh well.

It's tourist season at Virginia Tech. There are crowds of prospective students and their parents wandering around in little tight knit groups, trying to learn as much about this school as possible in as small amount of time as possible. Its funny to watch these groups be led around campus but the backward-walking tour guide. It that time of year when rising freshman are beng accepted to various schools and have to see which one they like better. Honestly you only see the campus and thats really not why you are coming to Tech anyway so why do it at all? I think's great that there is a new batch of noobs to be tortured and messed with but I think that their time would be better served sitting in on a class that they think is interesting. That would give them a really good idea of what school is like here. I like this quote, "If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?" I'm a little annoyed with the lack of consideration show by these visiting groups to the students. They block sidewalks and door-ways on the to and from classes. My dorm has a "sample room": a dorm room furnished and decorated so it looks like it's lived in. So the tour groups come into the basement and crowd around and ooo and aww at the room, blocking access to the mail room and generally creating a bother. I sometimes end up racing a tour group to get inside and up the stairs before they get to the door.
The past week has been a really nice one, the sun was out the first couple of days and the Temperature was in the 70's for almost the entire week. Now its getting cold again. Why can't the weather make up its mind? I would prefer either warm weather consistantly or cold weather, but the mix drives me up the wall. I walk outside, forgeting ohow cold it is and have to orun back to get a coat. GRRR. But the weather earlier this week was SO nice! I'm glad for that.

Ten points to the person who can tell me what this is from. Good luck!

For some unknown reason this week seems to be really nice. I am sending out support letters for the Mexico City mission trip, and that is making me feel really excited about the trip. I mean I was really excited before but sending out the letters is making it seem more official. Maybe this week seems especially good because I'm getting a surprise package from the Church. Or the fact that it is 60 ndegrees outside and sunny. What ever it is I hope that every one else has a great week. Yay for happy feelings and the love of my family! Oh and The Music Concert this weekend! Yay for concert choir!

Today has been sweet. Last night I couldn't sleep because every time I would lay down I would feel like crying. After a little bit of talking with the girls next door and doing my devotions I felt that I could lay down with out crying. . . . Before I drifted off, I prayed that I would see the joy in the day to come. God has a awesome sense of humor. . . I woke up this morning to the song "Good Morning Beautiful" and got to play with Blake for a hour, and watch the first part of Finding Nemo. That was so much fun. Then when I got back I saw two hawks, and then a friend from choir. Then I found out that I've got nursery on Sunday with one of the girls from RUF! There are three babies in there now. YAY! Then I had two classes, I practically slept through Psych, and had an exam in History. I think I did good on the exam, but we'll just have to wait and see. When I got back I realized that I have a essay to write, but I went swimming anyway. It was so much fun, I'm going to be sore tomorrow but I think I'm going again after English. I am exhausted and happy. I can't wait to get this last day done and start the weekend. Singing and homework. It's going to be good. Maybe some social action as well but that really depends on when I wake up on Saturday. Pray for the Mission teams please, I'm writing and mailing my letters this weekend. Just pray that we'll raise enough money and have a successful trip.
"Be anxious for nothing but in everything through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." ~Philippians 4:6

Me and My Girls 

This was awhile ago, when my hair was really short, but it is a really good picture of us. The other three girls are my best friends. Aren't we just gorgeous?

My jeans ripped. It was a few days a go, I knew that they would rip soon but I wasn't expecting it. These jeans were about year and a half old and one of two pairs that I had. So I sat down rather suddenly Thursday night and RIIIPPP they split right across the knee. I was like ok these are now my lazy day, get dirty and not care, mud and paint jeans. Along with the other pair that has a ever widening hole under the back pocket. YAY! Today I was pulling them on rather violently and my foot caught in the already huge hole and it ripped again. So I performed emergency surgery on my jeans and they now have rather messy stitching up a short rip in the side. I really like these jeans and because of my wonderful mother I have two other pairs of newer jeans, so it doesn't matter.
February is the month in which every lover gives their special someone a token of appreciation and love. It is the month in which men are allowed to be sappy without being labeled for it. Flowers and chocolates are stocked in abundance and children's valentines cards are handed out in school. It is also the month that those people that don't have a sweetheart begin to feel like they are never going to find happiness in love. That is why another name for St. Valentine's Day is S.A.D., or Singles Awareness Day. I would like to propose another name and purpose for this national day of love and loneliness. Valentine's Day should become Love Thy Neighbor Day. There should be no public singling out of the crushes or loves of lives. Every one is given a rose or candy, and something nice is done for them, and they do something nice for some one else. It doesn't matter who does what for whom, but it should be an all inclusive day. Of course the singling out can be done in private and shown off the next day but the world would be a better place if the law of brotherly love applied to every one...
Ok that was my splurge on that. I am hopefully going to be going to the Foster's house for S.A.D and hanging out. They need a babysitter and because so many girls volunteered they said that we could all come over and make it an almost all girl's night. Ice cream, cookies(cookie dough), movies and fun like that. So we'll see what happens.

It is winter in Blacksburg. The snow has coated the ground and sidewalks. The top layer has frozen so that every time you take a step you break through into the soft powder underneath. School is. . . . school. I'm taking Choir again. . that is exciting. RUF is becoming more active, I'm in a bible study and there is a social dinner at JR's house every Thursday. So that is going to be fun. I have also resolved to do more socially, so I am going to go to the gym, dancing, and maybe one or two parties.
