BOW TO YOUR SENSAI!
So, it's been a pretty good weekend, I must say. Fun has been had, and now it's time to begin another week. Moving on...
HAH, moving on - yeah right, you thought you could get by without a detailed description of what I did this weekend?? YEAH RIGHT, SUCKA! Don't think so. Heeeeere we go! :)
First, I gotta start on Thursday, cause that is really when the weekend kicked off. I was coming out of Dunham Hall after taking my MC201 midterm, and who should I run into but my buddy JENNA!! It was kind of a freaky coincidence because earlier in the week we had meticulously dissected our schedules and tried to get together, but really couldn't because she was busy w/ Judgement House every night, and any other time was busy w/ class or work for one or the other of us. So anyway, that was tight. A couple minutes after this, our friend Judah from BSM came out of the building as well w/ a big bag of juggling supplies and asked if we wanted to learn how to juggle. Being the unmotivated quitter that I am, I gave up pretty quick into it, but Jenna got it pretty quick! It was nice though to just sit and watch them juggle and just enjoy the day - it ended up being the first really warm day we've had in awhile. After all this, we eventually left the Dunham area and just walked around campus, taking pictures of trees and sculptures and generally being really goofy/retarded. We had alot of fun though. Then we hung out for awhile at her apt. in Cougar and sang and played guitar till she had to go to JH. I am really pumped now to hang out w/ her and everything, because, as we both agreed, "I think God wants us to be friends." And we're going to an Apologetics conference thing this weekend, so yeah! I am excited!
I wish I could put pictures up here, but I just realized the downfall of the entire Internet. I could explain it to you, but you might get upset and punch out your computer screen, and then you couldn't read the rest of this most excellent post... which you definitely would regret, especially when you're sitting there with a bloody, glass-filled hand. So anyway, I totally just realized I can't post pics on this thing without having to pay for it... which is so incredibly gay that I'm in shock. But I digress......
On Thursday night I went to BSM and went to Greg's. Not too much to say about that... then I worked on Friday 11-6 and came home and chilled for awhile. I went up to church and hung out w/ Amy cause I hadn't planned anything for that night. We started going on a tour at JH at probably around 10:30/10:45, then while we were waiting to go into the Hell scene, the fire alarm suddenly started going off, so we had to clear the building. Apparently, from what my dad told me, it went off from having too much fog pumped into the Heaven scene. What a bunch of goons! I'll bet you ANYthing it was all those little "angel" girls in the heaven scene. Jerks. Hopefully next time someone will keep an eye on the angels, gooosh. We waited around till seriously like 12 something, when they proceeded to tell us to go home. So... we did. Yuuuup.
Saturday I worked from 8:45-5:15. That is a stinkin' long shift, but I guess it could have been worse... it actually didn't go as slowly as I thought it would, but still. My feet were killing me by the end of the day. Then Amy came over to my house around 6 or 6:30 after dropping John off at church; we brainstormed costume ideas for trick-or-treating, and she decided to be Samara from The Ring and after much deliberation, I was going to be the Bible. HAH. Well anyway, the thing is that we sat around for so long that we didn't get to Edwardsville and start shopping till like 7:30. And we still had to find all the crap we needed, go to Amy's, put our outfits together, and all that jazz. So, yeah... we decided not to trick or treat. :( It was the first time in a few years that I haven't gone, but oh well. It probably is time for me to stop going whatsoever, but I haven't felt motivated to do that yet, really. Maybe next year will be different and I'll feel old. So we bought a bunch of candy and sat around at Amy's for awhile just eating it and stuff. Then we drove up to church and waited half a century for John to get done w/ JH, then when he was done we went and got food and went to his house, where we ate, chilled, and watched the rest of Panic Room that we'd started at Amy's. We left at about 2 or 2:15 when it was over and we went to Schnucks for our traditional pizza roll midnight snack, then came back here. Then we watched The Ring, ate candy and pizza rolls, and eventually fell asleep. Tonight, I went w/ the high school on the bonfire and hayride thing. Afterward Leslie and I drove around and went to Walmart and stuff, but we were kind of bored and couldn't think of anything cool to do, so we went home. Good times though.
So, there is someone that I like right now, and I'm DEFINITELY not going to name him for fear of him discovering it, but I am really thankful to God right now that he has not let my mind wander while processing through this and trying to objectively analyze how I'm feeling and all that. I can think of many times, many days, many instances in the past where I just really let my emotions and feelings be my highest priority instead of seeing God as that. I really like this person, but God has kept me in check so far, and although I think about him constantly it's not really an obsessive thought process at all... it's really just analytical. Not analytical solely in how he acts toward me, but analytical in all areas that I observe: his relationship w/ God, sense of humor, reactions to others, etc. And it's been kind of a "okay Lord... it's all You or it's not happening at all" kind of thing. I may like him, but God's guidance is more important than the attraction I have to ONE guy during ONE single phase of my life. And because I have bothered to seek God's guidance on this - unlike times before when I've liked someone - I know things are gonna work out great. I just trust it beyond anything else! He has every little bit of my life in His control, which is awesome. I know that as long as I'm keeping up and keeping him first, nothing else matters. He's got my back. And everything will be juuuuust fine. :)
