Twenty Five things.
1. I like college, though, it was very similar to high school last semester.
2. Sometimes I wish I was someone else that is completely different than me.
3. When I'm alone I wish I wasn't, but when I'm not I wish I was.
4. I've given up on going to church.
5. Puppetry was my favorite activity at church.
6. I have four best friends in the whole world.
7. My best friends at college are both named Lauren.
8. There is only one person I trust completely... other than Jesus.
9. I finally completed a whole book for the first time in about three years: The Handmaid's Tale; it was weird.
10. I've been in love twice, but only one is true.
11. My grades last semester do not reflect how I wish to continue my college career.
12. I talk too much, as in I make small talk when it isn't necessary and if I were on the receiving end I would be annoyed.
13. I'm scared to death of commitment.
14. I like to make long term plans (i.e. what I'm going to do with my life), but hate making short term decisions (i.e. where to eat).
15. Procrastinate is the word that most aptly describes how I do things.
16. I met the love of my life on August 20th, 2008; which is my parents wedding anniversary.
17. Next semester I'm going to live off campus.
18. I'm a loner, but I don't like being alone.
19. I hold full conversations in my head and plan conversations that never happen.
20. Worrying occupies my mind much too often.
21. Heart-breaking was a pass time of mine in high school.
22. Four bands on my iPod I never listened to before I came to college: Iron & Wine, Sujan Stevens, The Shins, Bright Eyes.
23. There are 3237 songs on my iPod, yet I listen to about 200 max.
24. The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of my favorite books, and I have read only three chapters of it.
25. Savannah is my favorite place in the whole world, two of my four best friends are there.

One finds what one wants, when one is not looking for it
I'm pretty sure I have an overactive mind.
Especially when I'm trying to fall asleep, or when I know I need to speak with someone about something.
And the title of this post is basically what I came up with to tell a certain someone. Mainly because it was how I found what I was looking for. Thus, I hope that it will work for said person. Now, the real challenge is going to how to tell them. Which is the other part I was mulling over in the wee hours of the morning before sleep overtook me....
On another note, I need to post more. I most likely will when I get to college. Therefore, keep an eye out for more.

New Begining.
So, I'm really much of a writer, but I've decided that I should bolg some to keep people updated with the goings on of my life.
And, at the moment I have an ungodly amount of free time on my hands. Plus, Christen just got a blog, so I have more reason to update mine, spill some thoughts, comment on my latest reading, or suggest things.
As soon as I get my laptop up and running, I'll probably post more often because I won't have to worry about the parental units hovering over my sholder, or walking over at awkward times. And I'll most likely revamp the layout while I'm at it. It needs some tending after.
Thus, look forward to reading me in the near future!

Mulling over things
So, it's pretty much been a while since my last post, so long that I that I was worried I had forgotten my password, but thankfully, Firefox has it saved.
I've been thinking about the future and where it will take me, mostly what college and grad school. Although, I haven't changed my mind on what I want to be when I grow up, I have changed how I'm going to get there. Reconsidering my top choices for my bachelor degree. I still haven't made any definite plans yet, I surmise I'll change my mind again if I were to do so.
Nonetheless, there have been other things on my mind as well. Most of my friends have gone off to college themselves. I feel somewhat left behind and left out. But I know God has a good and perfect plan for all of it, even though it doesn't seem like it.
I must say that parting is sweet sparrow. I am happy for my friends as they broaden their horizons and such.
Yet, one friend in particular, it makes me sad that he's not around. I find my self think about him too often and it sometimes make me uneasy.
Am lusting? Desiring too much to be near him? Is the way I feel about him sinful?
I honestly don't know.
This feeling could just be teenage hormones or perhaps ridiculous emotions. I've felt it before. It's like an insatiable yearning for something I cannot have (not to say it's forbidden, rather unreachable or not meant to be).
Everything seems to remind me of him, whether or not it has anything to do with him.
I suppose the Economic term "scarcity increases demand" is quite true in this situation. Ironic isn't it, that I want to be an Economist?

Let's Go Outback....
Have you ever been listening to the radio or watching TV and an Outback commercial comes on? Well, they have a really catchy ditty. If you've ever heard it you know what I mean. Nonetheless, the lyrics are "Let's go Outback tonight, life will still be there tomorrow," which got me thinking, will life still be there tomorrow? Who knows? I certainly do not. But, God does.
Lately I've been stressed out about my future (i.e finishing high school, going to/ graduating college, my career, etc). Also, since it's a new year, naturally I began to think of how I could start things anew or change the way I do things. Then I heard the Outback ditty and realized that I don't need to worry about all that stuff, because it's in the future. This not to say that I should be lazy and not prepare today for what's ahead, But to cast my cares at the foot of the cross and trust that God has a perfect plan for my life. Thus, so long as I follow Him today, HE will lead me into tomorrow.
25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or what you will drink;
nor about your body, what you will put on.
Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air,
for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they?
27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is,
and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,
will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek.
For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

It's about time...
Mmm, it's pretty much been forever since my last post. So, at the prompting of my dear friend Carmen and the availability of time, I have decided to type one.
Earlier in the day, while I was laying in bed awaiting sleep to overtake me, to be precise, I pondered what in this world I would post about. But, alas, as I knew would happen, I have forgotten all of that which I had recited in my head. Unfortunately this is the case when I try to write. I can think of everything that would want to say, yet when it comes time to type it I forget it. This is one of the main reasons as to why I haven't posted in a long time. Another one is that I now attend public school. Thus, the majority of my time is taken up by my four ninety minute classes and forty five minute lunch five days of the week. If my time not be taken up by school, it is taken by home work, work, church and trying to keep my sanity by hanging out with my friends.
I need to write more......sigh. Or, rather, better time management skills.
Perhaps I shall post more frequently during Christmas break.....
