Wouldn't life be full of Dr. Suess wonder if you could major in something so entirely close to the truth in what you do time and time again? Seriously, I've known about my projects since the beginning of the quarter and i'm just NOW declaring a topic when the rough draft is due in 3 weeks!! aughhh!! pulling out my hair and I am committed to God in my life, so that comes before this tonight at 6:30. I just started going to Celebrate and it is a great time. Hopefully Kayla will be there! I just finished reading this really good book called "Portal" by Imogen Rose. The main character is named Arizona Stevens. She wakes up and is with her mom and everything is different. She lives in California now when she had just gone to sleep in Princeton and was with her estranged mom Olivia instead of her father Dillard. They pull up to a house and it is a mansion. A man greets them as they drive up and her little sister calls him dad. That's not her dad! His name is Rupert. Who is this person? In this new "life", her name is Arizona Darley and she is confused. Maybe it's just a funny dream. She goes to sleep that night hoping to wake up back in her bed. When she awakes, she heads over to her OWN bathroom-SWEET!! only to discover her hair is "barbie blonde", not brown as it was in Princeton and many other strange discoveries. If you have a NookColor, you don't want to miss this!
It is 0.99 on the barnesandnoble.com website as well as amazon for the kindle and paperback!! It is really addicting and I couldn't resist buying the 2nd book after reading it "Equilibrium". It's an insanely easy read, but you can't stop once you start. I did the lendme function on this. Some very awesome person on a yahoo group lent me the book to read. After 14 days, it goes back into their library automatically, so I had some time restrictions!!
Well, homework is NOW after I get my hair brushed through and decide what to wear. :P
girls, right!?
love love love

Many people think every day. I'm one of those people that struggles with indecisiveness, co-dependency issues, and overall polarity from one extreme to the next. I must learn impermanence.

Social Networking is A Puke!!
Well, I disappeared from facebook. Indeed, I did. Not to spite anyone, but to regain my strength in life without social networking. I am not trying to hide away and become a hermit, though it could be perceived as such. I want to continue more days with friends in person, not talking through some virtual coding back and forth. Yes, it's communication and it's better than nothing, but I have not really gained many friends. I have lost a few based on my views and opinions based solely on what I had said through messages on facebook, commenting on walls, profile pictures. In retrospect, it was never really worth it. I don't regret the experience, but many comments could be misconstrued as indifference, anger, or outright "DICK MOVE"...anything other than what was intended. Many times, that did happen.
I missed it the first couple of weeks, but there's so much drama involved looking at it now. I will most likely never return. If you don't join FARMVILLE, YOVILLE, or VIRTUALPETATHON, "OMG you're missing out!!"
Missing out on friends, family, one on one conversations, planning for my future, my education? That's a small price to pay to some.
Sitting on facebook talking about our frustrations is not what God would have wanted. We have become gluttons in many aspects. I will no longer ride that train to nowhere.
I honor the socialities of media that can use it, not abuse it. Therein lies the difference.
Still though, does EVERYONE need to know every facet of your life from one moment to the next?
The end.
