That is the song now. It is official, k? :)

Eh...

^-^; Appologies for yesterdays post. I was a bit out of it. I was, uhh... feeling the reprocussions of dehydration and I kinda forgot a meal. heehee. Having a glass of water in 2 1/2 days would probably make anyone a little shaky and headachey lol. Even now me right hand won't stop moving T_T But yes. I would like to add to yesterday's post by saying that I am in fact very happy with my life XD. I was just, like I said, a little outta it, (and I kinda have like a buuuunch of stressful school thingies. I think they are stressful, I dunno... whatever it is called, I havn't been able to shake this head ache or conquer the steely knot in me stomache..) so no worries! I am fine, and yeah...it's all good. :)

Writing in here again

Ahh.... so many things I have started to put here, only to realize that it is silly or too long or I get called away and lose my train of thought, or, or, or all of the above. Even now I wonder why I am writing. BUT this can be answered easily. I love to write, I realise this more and more. But I also realise that writing from the vast unlimited expanse of imaggiation can only take you so far. Contradict meself there? No... But, what I am trying to say is...I need inspiration. As you who read this blog probably already know, I love to travel. I have done some very looong distance traveling in the past. Been to some great places, made some friends that can be better described as my very dear long lost siblings, and in all, I have made some amazing memories. Alot of what I write I have been basing on some pplz personalities, sometimes on the places I have been. What I am trying to say though is... I feel like I need more. Selfish, aye? But it's true. I'm tired of always being at home 24/7 with the occassional trip. I feel in myself an insatiable desire to travel to distant places and meet new and interesting cultures. What I am saying is... I want to get out. As I sit at my desk writing this, my hands shake, my head throbs I feel so defferent than I did five or even one year ago. I am only 19 now, but I can already tell that I am feeling older. What I fear more than anything (other than losing friends) is that I will find myself looking back in 40 years wishing that I had just been a little more motivated to do what I wanted to do. To travel. To explore distant lands with foreign people.

I need to leave...

Ummm... something new...

Wellllll...... Today was interesting....(never a good way to start a blog lolz) After class, I went to get my eyes examined...for the first time ever. I"M BLIND!!!!!! hahaha...not really. But it turns out I have a stigma-something or other and my eyes are working too hard....the doctor was like "You must be a dilligent student, because it looks like your eyes have been straining while studying alot." ....heeeeee. Weeeelllllll, not exactly...*Thinks to self* "maybe its cuz I *cough cough* read *cough cough* too much *cough*" :) But anyway.... Do to the fact that I can't read road signs very well...at all.... *grin* I now officially have glasses! Woot! I think it completes my "bookworm" look quite nicely. ^-^ hahaha

hello ^^

Ok, so I havn't posted anything for a while now, but I've been lazy..so meh! :) Today was my birthday, which was fun, uneventful, and amazing. There was a missions dinner, and that totally made it awesome. It was nice to just rest today. I would also like to say that my first day of college starts tomarrow. woot! -_- lol
This summer was great, and I'm happy to say that it was the longest yet. Now for the big stuff. It will be interesting to see what the classes will be like. I (being the nerd that I am) already read some of my new text books. All I can say is, "Oh boy." In my geology class, it has already ruled out catastrophism as a lame explaination, giving it a whole two paragraphs. The they spent the next page and a half telling of the glories of the discoveries in the wonderful study of Unifomitarianism (er however ye spellz it). sheesh. And I'm not even gonna try to explain the Psychology book. It's just very..... backward. I'll leave it at that. I have never been so thankful for growing up in a Christian home and for going to church every sunday since the day i was born (well, I've probably missed like three or four Sundays but, you get the idea ^^). In other words, I'm thankful for having a "pretty-semi-decent-nowhere-close-to-being-full knowlege of what my beliefs are as I enter this enemy ruled domain known as "University." I know that my Savior will be with me as I attempt to learn what I need to learn, and not what the world will shove at me from now untill the distant year of 2012. I can only pray that nothing will be sneakily fed to my mind as I study that will cause me to question my faith. I've seen it happen, and I don't want to fall away from my loving Father that way. I know He will hold onto me, but I pray that He will also give me the strength to stand firm in my belief and be an example to those who would be watching.
Sorry this was a long one, but I needed to write this out. Maybe I'll read it in 4 years time. And I'll either thank the Lord for His unending love and mercy, or I'll look at it with disgust and erase it and wonder how I could have ever thought that way....

....May it never be the latter.

Some of me favorite hymns...

Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above!
Here's my heart, O! take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above!


and....

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great high Priest whose name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tounge can bid me thence depart

When satan tempts me to despair
A tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
To look on HIm and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there the risen Lord
My perfect spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I Am
The King of glory and of grace
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God!

feeling forgetful...

I'm missing japan and all the friends I made there so so so much right now, it's hard to explain. I'm forgetting too much, for my taste. I don't like that one bit. I know it will make the eventual reunion all the sweeter. But for right now... it really hurts. *optomistic self says* Ah, cheer up bucko! Be thankful you had them in the first place!.................................... :D................ :'\
