I hate the way your family was organized. Strict control by the father. The way your mother just gave in. He didn't always know what was best and I know you knew. And then you listened to stupid 'rules' that kept you from pursuing what you wanted ( Read more... )

Lots has happened, including the watching of Season 2 of Battle Star Galactica. Which I literally just finished watching after staying up all night. 3:40 am. Wow. I need Season 3 tomorrow. I can't stop watching. I'm sucked in to the vacuous hole that is television. They are returning in March 2008 to the SciFi channel, as a side note ( Read more... )

I found an old notebook at church today, tucked away in my bible cover. There were only a few entries, mostly FLAME devotionals. In every entry I was frustrated, especially at Mike. I wanted to desperately use my abilities, and yet I felt ignored. Even after working and leading choreography together for a year, he left me out on multiple occassions ( Read more... )

I'm praying for you. Just so you know. You were my 'big brother' during a critical period of my life. You were there when I was in turmoil, and its the least I can do for you. And honestly, I don't know what else to tell you, to help you. I still have those notes of encouragement tucked away in a box. I'm just disappointed that I won't be able to ( Read more... )

So I find myself yet again at the Rommen's. The second time in two days. Then, poor Julie, she has to deal with me all the way till Sunday. Oh! darn. Bummer for her. :D ( Read more... )

So yes, I went to bed at 4am. My alarm didn't wake me up at 5:20 like it should (I've never slept through an alarm) and I missed the debate. =( I called up Matt and had him hand over to Mr. Nicolay so I could tell him what happened.

On the brighter side, I was able to sleep. Much needed sleep. And I took the Rommen's picture for their Christmas

I had a basketball game last night, danced at half time, played 3rd and 4th quarter (okay 3rd quarter was mostly a break anyways), walked Ashley home, walked back to the school, was picked up by a few friends, went to see NArnia (awesome btw) at the 10:30 pm showing, and ah...now I'm "home" (Rommen's house) working on my debate expository board for ( Read more... )

Today was fine. I thought I was handling everything great. Caitlin invited me to youth group for the festivities. Really, I didn't go for that. Mom and Dad haven't been going to church for a long time. I am so fed up with it. The last two Sundays I've spent my own money to take a bus into Snohomish to go. I miss worship ( Read more... )
