Reboot
So I'm back from the world of myspace. I promised I wouldn't abandon this place, but I got caught up in the whole thing, but now I'm back. Yesterday, Dr. Bill Whitehurst, my US and Middle East prof., talked about how he kept a journal while he was a Congressman and how he said its probably the best reflection of his person he really has. He said it was a great way for him to look back and see how he really was back then, not just what he made himself out to be. It inspired me to come back to keeping a daily journal just to see how I really am and clear my thoughts of the day's events no matter how dull or boring the day is. It's gonna be hard to keep up with a journal though.
Working at Target is very different than from my other jobs so far. The benefits suck and the hours are weird. The workload is not balanced throughout the week and I work with some weird people. I guess this is the civilian world. Something interesting did happen today though, apparently someone peed into the sink in the backroom bathroom. The popular guess is this kid Vaughn. He's known as the Target Pothead cuz, well, he's always high. Someone put a sign on the door saying the toilet wasn't working so he thought he could just go in the sink. It was absolutely disgusting, thank God I didn't see it or have to clean it up. There is a serious problem in the logistics team, people don't seem to be able to know how to clean up after themselves. It's either leaving poo stains in the bowl or peeing in the sink. What's wrong with these people? It's just weird and very disturbing...
Lilly's been txting me about how bad she feels over not going to practice yesterday. Apparently Joy sent her a txt telling her to keep her priorities focused. I told Lilly a week ago that it would be okay if she didn't go to practice this wednesday cuz it was valentine's day and her boyfriend had made plans. I don't think it was a problem. She's missed two weeks in a row, but last week was a concert so, again, no big deal. People wouldn't be making such a big deal if it was spread apart, I don't see the issue. Lilly's a good girl and knows right from wrong, but she's got to be able to make her own decisions. Whether or not its right or wrong, its her life and she's old enough to make those kind of decisions on her own. At least she's asking permission from me and going to me for advice so its not like she's running around on her own. She's asking for guidance and I'm keeping an eye on her. People need to chill, I've got her. We can't force her not to date Kenny because then she would resent us and her ministry wouldn't be a ministry anymore. I want her to make her own decisions and stand by them. I want her to be a stronger person and she can't always try to please everyone.
I've been talking to Benji again recently. Its good to hear from him and other ex-FCC. Maria's moved to North Carolina so he's got a lot of free time to spend with other people. He really wants to go back to church so I'm encouraging him to come to LFCF. Seth's taken the batton to reconciliation. I gave up a month ago. I got back most of the people I wanted, its not my fault others don't want to reconcile so its up to him now. I'm satisfied with how things are in my life. I have GREAT friends at LFCF, ex-FCCers are still talking to me and haven't all gone to hell like others think, and I've still got friends at FCC even if they are a bit afraid to say so at FCC. Whatever happens happens. I love the people in my life more than I ever did before.
