Laura, here is your horoscope for Wednesday, January 12th: Possibilities turn you on. You just can't wait for the future to get here. Do you realize how close it is? Think about how you could be more prepared. The real glory belongs to the one who markets a great idea.
Interestinggg.
I just got done printing out all of mine and Jarrod's e-mails. I tend to lose Outlook Express once every few months, so I figured it'd be smart to print them out just to be safe. I'd be a very upset girl if I lost them all. These will be fun to read back on! I keep thinking as I write in my [offline] journal how cool it'll be to read it in a year, or two years, or ten years...just to look back and read about how things were and say, "I made it!" - I read a comment that Heather left in Peggy's journal earlier saying something similar. She's been through deployments before with her boyfriend, and she said it's so cool to read back on past journals and see how far you've come. How cool - :)
Maria said she's gonna buy me a puppy. She said I need a little Chihuahua like Paris Hilton's. How cute! I wish. She said I need a dog. Do you know how many people have told me that? Seriously...what is this? Haha. Jarrod even said, before he left, that he was gonna buy me a dog to keep me company. Then he changed it to, "When I get back, we're getting a dog. A German Shep." - Uhhhh-huh. Kay.
What else did I want to say? I had stuff in mind, and I just blanked.
I want this month to be over with for so many reasons. January, please end. And I'm gonna be nineteen in less than two months. Wow. That's soon. I feel like I should be older for some reason. How random and odd is that?
I wanna watch Waiting To Exhale. That's one of my favorite movies. One of the first times I hung out at Jarrod's house, it was one of the nights that I stayed until like two in the morning, then he brought me home...'cause sleeping over was forbidden then or something. Anyway, he fell asleep from a busy day at training, and here I was, laying next to him, watching Waiting To Exhale on VH1 and sobbing as he's snoring. Haha. I just love that movie. I wanna buy the DVD. Or maybe one of you could buy it for me for my birthday! - ;) - I'm so kidding. - I'm listening to the soundtrack...that's where all of this talk came from.
I just e-mailed Jim. Jim is...hmm...how do I explain this? Okay, here we go. Jarrod's church is right down the road from my church. My youth group and Jarrod's youth group were once very close and did everything together. Jim was Jarrod's youth pastor. [I don't know if Jarrod and I ever met through youth group events...not that either of us recalls, but it's possible...] - Anyway...Jim and Mike [my youth pastor] are very close. Jim left that church last year around this time to go across state, but Mike still keeps in contact with him. Sooo...when Jarrod and I found out that we both knew Jim, Jarrod shared with me that Jim has made a huge impact on his life. Apparently Jarrod was having major problems a couple of years back, and Jim was always there to talk to him. He played a big part in turning Jarrod around. Jarrod asked if I could get in contact with Jim and send him his e-mail address so that he can then write letters to him, maybe, while he's on deployment. Well...I e-mailed Mike and asked for Jim's e-mail address and Mike just sent it to me tonight along with a note that said, "By the way, he had many good things to say about Jarrod. That's a good thing." - So, I dropped Jim an e-mail...just saying hi since I haven't seen or talked to him in a while...telling him Jarrod and I were together...and telling him that I gave Jarrod his e-mail, so he'd hear from him in due time. Jarrod told me to exagerrate the fact that he and I are very happy together. He said Jim would really be happy about that; that first he'd be shocked to hear that he and I are together, since apparently I'm the good little church girl, and Jarrod had all of the problems or whatever. He said Jim would be so proud and happy, though. I'm eager to hear back from Jim. - /end Jim story
La-dee-da. I don't know what else to say. I need to tidy up this room a bit, then I might read or exercise...or both. Ta-ta!
