Remember back when you first got internet?

Remember back when you first got internet? The paranoia? "Don't ever put your real name online" and "be careful who you talk to" and also things like "never eat of drink by the computer"... well as I sit eatiing soup above my keyboard I got thinking, things have really changed, I now practically live online, there are all sorta of people i know online but not in the real world, my email has my full name in it, .... so why this change?,.... well I'm older for one, don't have to worry so much about crazy people stalking me I can better take care of myself as an adult, internet isn't such a new scarey thing, we're used to it, and of course technology is cheaper now so we can afford to buy a new keyboard if we spill soup on the keys

visiting people!

I'm excited, visiting pple i havn't seen in months for new years, and then the next weekend visiting some other friends... I'm excited, I love friends I should visit more people mor often... or maybe just actually hang out with my friends here more...hmmm that could work, lol.... peace

I love making stuff, anything, it feels so great, you start with nothing and end up with cool stuff... spent the morning making stuff (can't say what cuz they're gifts) and then did some writting later on... i'm not really a writer but it just happened and some cool poetic stuff resulted, anyways this is just random rambling so i'll leave you be

New Look

ok, so I'm trying to be a bit more my age as of late, still be the crazy hyper random me, and never actually grow up (I'm sorta like Petere Pan I guess) , actually all this means is that I am trying to make stuff look a bit less tacky (but not my clothing), but my blog has a nice new look, my email address is now just my name and is not longer at hotmail,... you know move away from all the remenants of pre-teen me... my words are being butchered, o well, its not like people expect me to be coherant all the time- if you do you don't rteally know me, lol.... anyways enjoy the new skin on the blog (note: if it looks like I copied the skin off your blog *cough*clambo*cough* I did, this template is nice)

I really should post about how christmas went, but I'm not

I really should post about how christmas went seeing as I went on and on about how graet it is..... but I'm not, it was great as always and I think pple are tired of christmas stuff by now and I wanna write on other stuff- Life is amazing, seriously look around you how amazing everything is designed, how water flows, and how air feels when it moves, its amazing, God created a cool world, I Love everything, I am happy

Santa wears a black suit and has a big grey beard today

Solomon, an older Amish neighbour of mine came by today bearing gifts. He's a cool guy, one of the nicest men you'll ever meet, anyways he brought two boxes full of baking! different things were labelled from different Amish families. (they're baking is sooooooo good), we get goodies from them every year, but this is alot more than usual. I love the Amish, they're all so nice and really great neighbours.

A "LIFE IS AMAZING!" and "I LOVE CHRISTMAS!" entry

(sorry Katy, but I'm too much of an optimist to not write about how much life rocks)

so today another cow was born in the barn, i didn't see this birth but i saw the baby right after the mom had licked it clean, Man, God is amazing, how he designed new life to grow in and eventually squeeze out of old life, and then when you see the baby it looks so frail, taking its first steps and falling flat on its face, and then the mother standing over it, a huge gigantic beast watching over it soo intently, and knowing that the baby will one day be as strong and powerful as the mother, its just so cool.

now an "I love christmas" post:

was listening to the radio (i only do this at christmas cuz usually i can't find much i like,.... plus i get headaches from radios)... anyways there was a song about how during the first world war they stoppeed fighting on christmas and played soccer between the two trenches, the song was going on about how christmas brings out the good in people and how it should continue to happen today.... well it does, we have all those sweet charities helping people out and more pple seem to give to them at thios time of year, I wish pple would act the same way they do at christmas all year... everyone is so nice at this time of year, and pple seem to care about the rest of humanity, i love it

its begginning to look alot like christmas

pics of christmas decorations, my favorites: (sorry bout the quality... forgot excellerator on

-stocking I painted when i was 3 (ok my mom dipped my figers in paint and drew the sceme with my little hands)

-our crazy nice nativity set

-the tree, i love real christmas trees

- mary, joseph and jesus flight to egypt figures, some cheesy european looking figures that used to be my Oma's, i like them cuz christmas decoratiojns normally quit at the stable, this one goes further

O Tannenbaum

we got our tree today, I love those cut yer own places.... its a blue spruce (so my mom is happy) and is an overall good tree.... I tried to talk my mom into buying more lights and covering the tree completely so that no green could be seen... we compromised on just using all the mini-lights we have... I'll take a pic of it when i'm done decorating it and post it.... merry almost christmas everyone

monster returns, stop why not I? It dies in a flood.

cape

i guess i should post a pic of the cape i sewed to be one of my winter coats... it took forever and the fabric costed me a bundle.... but it was worth it... sorry the pic is so washed out.... did the lightening really quick, ... oh, the mural behind me is one my mom and I did a few yaers back.... peace

End of Geekdom!

as i am cutting things down and out of my life i am realizing i ma losing touch with geek culture..... could an end of my geekyness be near?.... NEVER! but i'm on a bit of a vacation.... not gunna be so hardcore must knowing everything about every area of geekdom ... for that is really tough on the brain... no wonder so many geeks become socially inept.... anyways thats just a random thought for today

work

just to clarify about my job:

I milk cows, monday to firday in the evenings and saturday early in the morn

each shift is 2.5 hours, in that time I milk approx 75 cows... no i do not do it by hand... that would take forever, I use machines, that way i can milk 5 at once.... ya farming uses tecnology.... you'de be surprised at how many people think i do it all by hand into a bucket, lol.... anyways thought i'd clarify that all up

p.s. milking is one of the easiest jobs ever once you get the hang of it, requiress no brain activity... though you smell funky afterwards

still up

its 20 to 2 in the morn... mom don't kill me when you read this... my brain clicked into random information collection mode... did you know that pope john paul II is an honorary harlem globe trotter? and that girraffs can go longer without water than camels... oh man... i should go to bed.... but my brain is too active.... ahhhhhh

GREEK

so i should be in bed right now.... but i'm not

i was on msn, chatting as usual, and then a friend came on.... cramming for a greek exam tommorrow... well he started typing out what he was studying as a way to put it in his memory... i couldn't leave... this stuff is far too interesting, though i dun remember any of the greek words the kazzillion diff forms for everything is interesting.... oh great, now i wanna take a greek course (thanx alot clambo).... I'm tired, dunno why is only 12:15, and i shouldn't complain, my friend who is studying is 5 hours ahead so its its much later there... or earlier since its technically morning..... note to self- if you ever take a second language (which you most likely will) don't wait till the night b4 the exam to learn it

B-live done

so bethlehem live is done yet again.... this should be my last year playing joseph, yet if I come home from wherever i move to next year i will most likely get conned into it again, I don't really mind .... had a fun snowball fight with some of the other teens/ young adults and kids afterwards... much fun... but i did cut open a kids lip with a chunk of ice in one.... oops.... luckily his parents are cool with it (i wouldn't have had a snow ball fight with him if they weren't cool)... but ya i have "josephs song" stuck in my head now... twas my big dramatic scene in the play... really good song though, makes you think about josephs take on the nativity.... but its sooo slow and its driving me crazy! AHHHHHH!, lol not that crazy... anyways peace

6 weird things

I got tagged by my sister. So now I am supposed to post 6 weird things about myself..... Who am I gunna tag? anyone that reads this.... fwahahaha! now you have to post 6 weird things about yerself on yer blog!

Here are my six:

1. I have a huge fear of footballs... but not the actual ball... only its pattern of movement

2. I know more fake languages than real ones

3. my ear lobes are different shapes (on account of one being ripped off)

4. have you seen my hair?

5. I have had both scarlet fevor and whooping cough... yet I've never been to the tropics

6. there are too many to count, so i'm not gunna bother to list anymore... u all know them

I am becoming my mother, lol... last night before bethlehem live (the play i'm in) i was running around checking that everyone was ready and doing all this extra last minute stuff not expected of me.... then i realized, this is exactly what my mom always does.... not a bad thing, but it was funny that i just realized it

Schools closed

all schools in 4 counties are closed due to snow! police are telling pple not to use the streets unless its an emergency... this is crazy

Bethlehem live

whoah, last minute change with the christmas production our church is doing.... got bumped into being Joseph yet again, oh well i know the part this is my third year playing the part, its all good

oh by the way if you wanna come see me, its in dorchester on our church property between the 2 elementary schools (there are 3 in dorchester, its should be obvious which 2 i'm talking about though)... if you need directions email me.... its at 7pm, this friday, saturday, sunday (december 8,9,10) .... peace

Annoyed

so I found a school that has a program i'm really interested in in BC... prob is admission requirements are diff there than here... If your coming from Ontario you need to have graduated with at least 65%, no problem there... but they specify within your 6 4U or 4M courses that you should have 4 of them be from this list.... only 3 of mine are.... not totally my fault, of the 23 courses listed LDSS only offered 9, thats sad... i think i can still apply for the program and seeing as my marks are what they are i may be considered, i dunno... the whole university thing is just plain annoying, oh well, maybe i will be limited to schools in ontario in the end, whatever

Life is Good

hey everyone, just a reminder, Life is good, its all a matter of perspective, look past the not so good stuff and realize that yer life is actually quite great

Snow day

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
but the fight is so delightful,
and since theres no place to go,
let is snow, let it snow, let it snow

snow day! i love them... i wish i wasn't missing sculpture class but its alright, snow days are nice and relaxing... nice blanket of snow in time for christmas, finally winter, sigh.... not a fan of the cold... but if its gunna be cold might as well be white... christmas! i'm excited.... and then after that i guess i'll have to look forward to spring... life is good.... my hands are cold

How come all theological conversations seem to happen right as yer getting ready for bed?

A Phone Call?

so i come home from work and while my dad is driving me home says "some guy phoned for ya, sounded nice, prob in early twenties or something, maybe a friend from school"... in my head I'm like ????????? NO ONE has my number cuz i do everything online? whats going on?..... then i walk in the house and my brother tells me some guy phoned twice for me... then my mom tells me the same thing, and that he said hed call back in 10 min.... and i'm still thinking ????????????.... so anywasy it ended up being a guy from one of the schools i'm checking out for next year asking if i had any questions... really nice guy.... dun really think i'm gunna go to that school though, lol... anywasy having a phone call made my day.... even though i hate talking on the phone it was nice to get a call.... and funny to see how big a deal it was for my family as I never get calls....lol funny family

OCBD?

I don't got Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, I got Obsessive Compulsive Blogging Disorder... that is i check everyones blog like 5 times a day... wow, there really is no need for that as no one posts that often... wow, i need a life, lol

Free At Last

Thank God almighty I'm free!

cuz I'm Free!
Free at last!
Free!
From my past!

had this song by DC TALK stuck in my head alot lately, I love the lyrics... the repeating tune is driving me crazy but the words bring such peace.......

on a side not I just realized how much i've been posting this weekend... wow, thats alot

Advent Calendar!!!!

I BOUGHT ONE TODAY!!!!! its ninja turtles... i couldn't find the traditional christmasy ones in walmart... found them as i was leaving the store... but who cares, count down to christmas! and I got to eat 3 chocolates today! wahoo! I'm excited for christmas

I love my church

At times I wish I went to a different church, one where I was more anonymous, I have been going to my church for as long as I can remember, but my church has a special place in my heart.

I love my church, I love how everyone knows everyone, how we welcome everyone in, and how we don't seem to get caught up in tradition

now i won't lie and say its a perfect church, no church is, perfect church is an oxymorons as the church is people, and people sure aren't perfect, no one is... but I love my church

today our pastor randomly decided to serve cookies at the beggining of the service... as he got up to speak he produced a margaine container full of cookies (donated for the christmas production this coming weekend) and instructed everyone they could take one as he passed them around, it was cool, and was really different.... now this action combined with the conversing across the church during announcements that happens every week made me realize, we really are like a big group of friends, a family in christ... as the pastor makes announcements he frequently jokes with the congragation who joke back speaking back to him comfortably... this i suppose is a benefit of a small church... but it is cool.... during the message PJ (our pastor) randomly called a guy up to help with an object lesson (he had the guy demonstrate a golf swing that he produces from the pulpit, that he never stands behind, and comparred it to how the club was a totally different thing in the hands of the golfer vs. my pastor's hands)... it was cool, I love how loose our church is on stuff like that
some people wear suits to our church, others wear sweat-shirts, the people range from living in trailer parks to really fancy homes, and yet everyone is equal... during communion our pastor gets off the stage, kneels in a chair and prays, he is one of us, he is not above us... i've seen too many pastors put up a stiff image, not showing any sign of humanity, its nice to see that a pastor is just another member of the congregation

I could go on about this stuff for hours... but the house is cold, no fire was made while we were at church, my fingers are cold... and typing is being made harder... so I will end there, peace

language?

my mom did this sign language solo/dance thing at church today, a song played and she signed it, really cool... while this was going on I really realized how cool unconventional worship is... in this case sign language as a form of singing, it is singing, its an actual language, one my mom is fluent in, but since "music" is a concept for hearing people deaf "music" is more like dance... while this was going on I was listening to the music behind the singer on the track that was playing... there was some tabla drumming (i think, i could be wrong on this), the thing about tabla drumming is that it is almost a language, in certain areas of India kids begin tabla drumming before they really start speaking... it very much a musical language... anyways point is: we need to think beyond the spoken languages when it comes to worship, while not everyone is bilingual in spoken tongues, i think everyone deep down has another form of communication that to them is a language, to me it is shape and color, to others it can be music, others dance, and even others it can be something they see in science... I don't really know... I guess what I'm really trying to say is that anything doen to glorify God is worship, people often get caught up in what is worship, I think as long as your heart in in worship what you are doing becomes worship

(I don't know how well those thoughts all flow together but I think you'll get the gist of what I'm trying to say)

Carniferous Accordionist

We got meat today, 700lbs of beef (one cow), MMMMMMMM I've been missing steak we ran out a few months ago, and since our freezer is barely able to shut I'll be eating more meat than normal for a bit, YUM! I love meat, being around vegans alot (as a very high percentage of art pple are vegan) I havn't been able to express my love for meat... chomp! chomp! mmmmmm lol, I wouldn't be able to be a rabbit... I'm a good old sharp tooth, lol

Started messing around with my accordion, learning very basic christmas tunes... playing with alteration tabs... gives some funny noises, lol... i'm pretty bad right now, i need to practice more, i'll get around to it eventually, anyways thats all for now, peace

FLYING COWS!!!!

Ok, its not exactly a twister yet... no cows flying by my window, nor witches on bikes... but a cold wind is blowing... freezing rain supposed to be on its way... and the temp is supposed to drop... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! winter is moving its front towards us! quick sound the alarm, get out the blankets, pull out the thick coats, prepare the end is near!,of warmer weather that is, lol... I dun like winter but without it we wouldn't appreciate the warmness of summer so much... brrrrrrrrr... looking forward to spring

This is school?

sculpture class... its all fun and games, honestly i feel like all I do is play in that course, but making some cool stuff, we had a critique today, which basically means we sat around and talked about our art for over an hour while drinking hot chocolate... hmmm this part of the art world is ok... I might even miss it one day, lol
