guess who's back? back again.. guess who's back guess who's back guess who's back? ( dum dum dum)
I'm writing because Maria wants me to. I quit this thing remember? Well Maria says no so here I am again haha. But now that I have 3 seconds to chill and think before I have to study the wonders of the Jefferson Era, I'll spill all that I know. Here I come, watch out.
First of all I have a new obsession of the week. Old people. There's this lady, Margarite, who is 97 years old. 9-7-years-old! She was born right at the very beginng of the 1900's. She saw Tvs invented,records, tapes, cd's, dvd's, cars.... everything. She is the smartest lady i know... hilarious to boot. The other day my mom was at her house and my mom said " I am so hot in here!" and Margarite said " well lynn are you complaining or bragging?" SHE'S 97!! I asked her what the best invention in her lifetime was..you know what she said? hot dogs! This lady is CRAZZZYYY. I love her so much and i barely know her. I want to hang out with her as much as possible so anyone who wants to come with can. I promise you it will not be a waste of a day. On top of that my Dad, who isn't quite 97 yet haha, amazes me sometimes. Since he lives near my old house and we're both so busy i practically never see. Sometimes i get so caught up in everything he's done wrong in my life and the million and two reasons i dont want to be anything like him or know anyone like him that i forget what a sweet sweet sweet little man he is. He invited Daniel to come to the cabin with us for my birthday. I dont really care that he didnt ask me first b/c he wanted it to be a suprise. And he was showing me these pictures he took for Eharmony the other day ( is that not cute? he has an account on eharmony to meet a woman) and I realized how blue his eyes are for the first time in my life. His goofy smile and bright blue eyes make him look like the sweetest man on the planet.the part that almost brings me to tears is by looking in his eyes, when i actually look at not glare at him for being the worst person ever, I can see how much he loves me and just wants to be close to me. He was asking me if he thought women might be intereted in him.. if he's good enough for a good woman? if i ever complain about him please remind me of his eyes and i'll shut up. I wonder if he knows how much i love him?
On another note, i went to 722 the other night and on the way home i had a little revelation concerning the message I heard. I know it sounds dorky but it's such a close metaphore. I think that sometimes when we're driving a car that WE are moving the car... like we have total control over where it goes and how it goes so it's like we are teh force behind the car. We forget it has an engine of it's own and we simply ride and help out a little. I think that's how it is with God compleatly. We forget that we're just along for the ride and making the decisions where we go, but he's the driving force. If there was no engine where would we go? If there wasnt a seatbelt/grace we would fly out the window everytime we took a wrong turn at a wrong time or tried to make it all move way to fast. But I think mostly we forget that we can have passengers along for the ride with us.... cheesy but it made me think so much....
Also.. sigh.. I dont know what to do about a certain friend. She happens to be in love with someone she cant have (end of story) and she knows she cant have him... but she... idk. She needs to get past it but she's not and cant. If you have advice on how to be a good friend and help influence her feelings so she doesnt like him anymore i would be more than grateful. Since there's a whole 2 people that look at this i'm sure my mailbox will be overflowing with advice haha.
I want to write beautifully again. bad. so if i finish history in time i'll be back. you just wait.
end.
