                <description><![CDATA[ This is a quick little updated to let everyone know that I have all of my Legend of Zelda potion bottle pendants back in stock! If you're curious about them, be sure to check out my gallery, or go straight to my <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://oddmentsandtweaks.artfire.com">ArtFire store</a> and browse.<br /><br />Also, for those who were following me on Etsy, I have now moved locations to ArtFire, where I plan to stay from now on. So if you haven't, update your bookmarks! <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://oddmentsandtweaks.artfire.com">oddmentsandtweaks.artfire.com</a><br /><br />I am also currently working on a few more bottles. However, I can't finish them until I make a purchase either at Michaels or online, and I can't do that until I get some more money. Having a few more sales will give me the money I need to buy a couple more supplies. I'm excited to finish these new bottles!<br /><br />Also, I've started a blog, primarily for use showing off my crafts. Check that out here: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://oddmentsandtweaks.blogspot.com/">oddmentsandtweaks.blogspot.com</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Utena</b><br />So, I recently finished the TV Series Utena and watched the movie.<br /><br />The TV series wasn't bad. Full of homosexual and incestuous relationships, and rather weird with the whole pulling swords out of each other. But the main characters weren't actually lesbians in it like I was led to believe, and it was definitely an interesting (though sometimes disturbing) watch.<br /><br />The movie however... Ug.<br /><br />The Utena movie was weird, to say the least. And I don't just mean weird, I mean WEIRD. It's sort of a retelling of the TV Series story or a continuation of the story, depending on how you look at it. They're in the same school, but it's the same in name only. The whole school is bizarre in that it's just a bunch of floating platforms. How or why they float is never explained. I'm under the opinion that the artists just thought it'd be cool to draw and went with it.<br /><br />They kept the basic cast from the TV show, only they "spiced it up." Touga is there, only now he's apparently dead and Utena is actually in love with him instead of Akio. In fact, you find out that Akio is dead, too. They completely threw out Nanami, except for a cameo as a cow. Apparently they decided the movie didn't need her whining in it like the TV show had. Intead of our usual quiet and distant Anthy, we have a rather pushy go-getter, complete with a different character model. Her eyes are wider, her face is shaped slightly differently, and she even wears her hair down. Utena gets a few changes as well in the form of a different kind of boy's uniform and a real short boy's haircut. Except they couldn't seem to decide whether or not to keep the short hair because throughout the movie they keep switching back and forth to short and long.<br /><br />One of the most noticeable things in the movie compared to the TV show is the explicit sexual tension between Anthy and Utena. While in the TV show all we had was a sometimes awkward friendship, in the movie here we have an obvious lesbian relationship.<br /><br />Okay, I can forgive all of that. I mean, in a way it is a reimagining, even if it is a bad one. But the ending. The horrible, horrible ending. It's like the writers were all having a drug trip together when they came up with this. I think the conversation went something like this: <br /><br />"Dude, like, wouldn't it be cool... if we turned Utena into a CAR? It would be like, so cool!"<br />"Hehehehe... a car... Utena..."<br />"And we'll make it PINK, like her hair."<br />"Yeah... and then... we'll make Anthy 'drive' her... hehehe... get it? 'Drive her'?"<br />"Hehehehe! Yeah, yeah! Then, we'll make them drive away, only Utena won't be the car anymore, but she still is, see? And then we'll make them both naked!"<br />"Naked? *giggle*"<br />"Yeah! Naked! And lying down, but the car's still going, because it's really Utena, but it's not. And then they drive away!"<br />"Dude... that sounds... amazing..."<br />"Yeah... like the castle..."<br />"*eyes widen* The Castle!!"<br />"Yeah, the castle's awesome." <br />"No, we should put the castle in there, too! Like, it's a car, too, like Utena."<br />"Oh man, you're like, so smart, dude!"<br />"Then we'll have the castle have like, a million wheels! Because it's huge, dude, it's a castle!"<br />"Yeah, and then the wheels try to crush them! And then they turn inside out! Like a tank!"<br />"Dude...."<br /><br />And that's exactly what happens! A giant carwash suddenly appears and swallows Utena, turning her into a car, which Anthy drives away. Meanwhile, others are trying to stop them. Then, the castle appears, only it's a car, too! Wow! The wheels on this thing are huge, and the only way for them to get by it is to go underneath and through the castle. So Anthy makes the Utena car transform into another car, and off they go! Dodging giant tires inside/underneath the castle so they don't get crushed. Then, as they're coming out, they get caught between some treads. The Utena car is practically destroyed now, but apparently Utena is fine, as Anthy finally cries out something like "Give me the power!" and they rush forward without getting crushed. So then, we have the two of them on this bare-bones motorcycle, lying down, buck naked, driving away. So Utena's NOT the car anymore? But she was before, but now she's there on top of the car with Anthy? The heck?? And where are their nipples? They're both incredibly naked, but they have no nipples? I'm confused.<br /><br />So, I guess you could say that I did NOT like the Utena movie at all. It was a trip.<br /><br /><b>Batman: Darknight</b><br />Matt and I finally watched this movie last night. I'm going to try to keep this part short.<br /><br />I didn't like it. The guy playing batman was awful. He didn't look like Batman, and he did a god-awful imitation of his voice. Pull the yarn out of your throat, will you? Just make your voice a little deeper. How hard is that? The costuming for him was great, thoug... ]]></description>

It's solely for Scott's benefit. Because he complained about people making journals. So naturally I had to make a journal just to irritate him. I don't even have anything interesting to say or talk about.<br /><br />Take that, Scott!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For those of you who weren't already aware, HIT Entertainment has released Season 4 of Fraggle Rock. As a complete series box set. That's right, you can only get the fourth season if you buy the ENTIRE SERIES box set. So those of us who have been buying each season individually up to this point? Screwed.<br /><br />However, there is hope. You can do two things.<br /><br />1) Boycott this box set. Don't buy it until after they've released the individual set of season 4. If enough people don't buy it, they're sure to get the message.<br /><br />2) Tell them about it! That's why they released Fraggle Rock in the first place; fan support. So now we need fan support to get them to release the individual fourth season.<br /><br />Here is their contact information:<br />HIT Entertainment's customer service number is:<br /><br />1-866-405-7625<br /><br />You can write them a letter at:<br /><br />HIT Entertainment<br />Attn: Consumer Relations (Fraggle Rock)<br />P.O. Box 9000<br />Allen, Texas 75013<br /><br />And you can e-mail them at:<br /><br />consumerrelations@hitentertainment.com <br /><br />Here's a copy of the letter I sent:<br /><br /><i>"To  whom it may concern,<br /><br />I am writing to let you know how disappointed I am in your company. Growing up, I loved the television show Fraggle Rock. Therefore, when your company started selling season packages of the show, I was thrilled! Each time you released a season I would make a special trip to the store (a 45-minute drive, mind you), just to pick up the latest season. I've been waiting anxiously for the fourth and final season to be released to make my collection and fond memories complete: Something I can show my kids as they grow up.<br /><br />When I found out that you would not be releasing the fourth season, but only as a box set with the previous three seasons, I was angry, to say the least. Now it has filtered down into simple disappointment. Why would you release the seasons separately if you were ultimately going to release the final season only as a box set? Why not just release the box set from the beginning? Now, in order for me to have the complete series, I'll have to essentially re-buy the first three seasons as well. In today's economy, that is simply not doable. Even if I DID have the money to do so, you can be sure that I would not.<br /><br />Finally, I will not be buying this box set. I refuse to waste my hard-earned money. Not only that, but I will be telling all of my friends and family not to buy it as well, unless your company decides to release the fourth and final season separately.<br /><br />I think the Fraggles would be disappointed in you, too.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Heather Garner"</i><br /><br />Act now! Let's show these big companies that we aren't going to throw away our money just because they do something stupid like this. Fight back. Remind them that it's US that keeps them going.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I got tagged. So there.<br /><br />The rules:<br />The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours...<br /><br />1. I actually enjoy my husband and being married, unlike a lot of people I meet.<br /><br />2. Elevators scare me.<br /><br />3. I am SO sick. I haven't been this sick in a long time. I want my mommy. *coughcoughcough*<br /><br />4. A lot of people thought I was a lesbian in school, to the point that my best friend and I started acting like we were just to freak people out.<br /><br />5. I want a piggy. And new pinky rings. Oh, look at the pretty colors...<br /><br />6. My hair is short right now. That's unusual for me.<br /><br />I don't know who else to tag.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've had this song stuck in my head for the past day or two. I really think it's a good of where I feel I'm at right now, in regards to my Christian life and how I'm dealing with my past. Not an exact match, but very close. Here are the lyrics: <br />
<br />
I wish you could see me now<br />
I wish I could show you how<br />
I'm not who I was<br />
I used to be mad at you<br />
A little on the hurt side too<br />
But I'm not who I was<br />
<br />
I found my way around<br />
To forgiving you<br />
Some time ago<br />
But I never got to tell you so<br />
<br />
I found us in a photograph<br />
I saw me and I had to laugh<br />
You know, I'm not who I was<br />
You were there, you were right above me<br />
And I wonder if you ever loved me<br />
Just for who I was<br />
<br />
When the pain came back again<br />
Like a bitter friend<br />
It was all that I could do<br />
To keep myself from blaming you<br />
<br />
I reckon it's a funny thing<br />
I figured out I can sing<br />
Now I'm not who I was<br />
I write about love and such<br />
Maybe 'cause I want it so much<br />
I'm not who I was<br />
<br />
I was thinking maybe I<br />
I should let you know<br />
I am not the same<br />
But I never did forget your name<br />
Hello<br />
<br />
Well the thing I find most amazing<br />
In amazing grace<br />
Is the chance to give it out<br />
Maybe that's what love is all about<br />
<br />
I wish you could see me now<br />
I wish I could show you how<br />
I'm not who I was<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Me, myself, and I, and a blank word document. I find myself in this position all too frequently.<br />
<br />
I've got a lot going on right now, and I feel like I really need to expound on it. It's so hard for me to put things to words lately. Which seems odd, as I used to be excellent at writing and explaining myself within it. In fact, it used to be one of my major ways of communication of my deeper thoughts. Odd, to think that I've changed in one of the ways I treasured the most.<br />

So, I've moved for the second time in two months. I'm getting settled in Okeechobee Florida. Not really where I wanted to be. But talking to my little sister-in-law, I realized and admitted that I'm actually happy to be here. I'm not happy that it's Florida, but I'm happy to be here. It's nice to be closer to family. I just really hope I can find a decent job soon. The toughest part? Trying to make new friends and keep in touch with my old friends. I'm not very good at keeping long distance relationships with friends. Don't ask me how Matt and I managed to keep ours going; I haven't the faintest idea. We just did.<br />
<br />
Faith.<br />
<br />
I've had a lot of faith issues lately. I'm not sure that I want to call them "religious" issues. I don't entirely agree with the concept of organized religion, so I'll just stick with the term faith.<br />
<br />
I learned that God really surprises you. He's stuck me in Florida, a place that I really hate. Yet I find myself happy to be here, and finding so much beauty in what I used to hate. God made the plants and stuff down here in Florida just as He made those up north. Who am I to say what's uglier? (Not to say I'm not going to have my own opinions about it) There's a beauty in all of God's creations.<br />
<br />
I've learned that the theory of Evolution doesn't make any sense. When Matt first told me that, I cried. I couldn't imagine that I'd been lied to, to such an extent. Whether on purpose, or not. That, and it seemed as though I was behind the times, like everyone knew that evolution was junk. I was the one left out. So I learned about it. Creationism, evolutionism. It was an amazing thing to learn about, and really gave me a great perspective on the world around me. (Also made me annoy Matt and Michaela about it quite a lotI wanted to talk about it with someone. I've found that when you find the truth, it's instinctive to want to share it.<br />
<br />
I've had problems with friends and family. Quite a few months ago one of my friends accused me of being "preachy." That one has stayed with me a bit. "Am I really that preachy?" I'd always thought I got along quite well with non-believers. Yet I'd never really "preached" to this particular friend, either. I'd always talked to a different friend about those things. When a friend of mine claims to be Christian, and has done something wrong, it's my duty as a fellow Christian to point it out and help support that other person in getting back on track. Just as it's their duty to do the same to me. I'm not going to go to someone who's never professed to be a Christian to me, and say "You're doing all these things wrong! That's evil! You should turn to Jesus!" How horrible would that be?<br />
<br />
So I thought about it some more. Was I okay with someone thinking of me as being preachy? I came to the conclusion that it was okay. God loves me, and I've found an outstanding joy in Christianity, like nothing else has. How can I not try to spread this? I want everyone around me to feel this incredible joy, too. It would be wrong of me NOT to try to spread it.<br />
<br />
Recently we had a sermon in church about reaching out to others, praying for them, and talking to them. So I wrote a letter to my dad. He wrote me back, and I still need to follow up on him again. In so many words, he called me preachy, too. That's okay, though. I needed an answer. I know that I could have been more biting and such with it, even if he didn't. Besides, I wouldn't like my daughter telling me that she believes the current religion I'm interested in worships demons, either.<br />
<br />
When I went to visit this weekend he asked me to change the song on my profile on MySpace. I'm not sure why he asked me, whether it made him sad or because he didn't like the message, I don't know. But I think I'm going to keep it there for now. I think it has a very good message. That, and I can't find a lot of the songs I really want on there (Rescue by Chris Tomlin, for example). The lyrics of the chorus are as follows:<br />
<br />
There is hope for the helpless<br />
Rest for the weary<br />
Love for the broken heart<br />
There is grace and forgiveness<br />
Mercy and healing<br />
He'll meet you wherever you are<br />
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus<br />
<br />
I think that's a great message. And very true. But a whole lot of people don't want to hear it.<br />
<br />
That's something else I'm learning. People get really offended with small me... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
As I'm sure everyone already knows, Matt and I are moving to Michigan on Wednesday (Dec. 27th). Because of our move, and because my grandparents do not currently have internet service, we will probably not be online to check our messages and emails. This could last for possibly a month or more, and while I will check when I have the chance (possibly at the library), don't be upset if you don't get a reply for an extended period of time.<br />
<br />
Also, since I was so busy with finishing school and getting ready for the move, I wasn't able to get out Christmas cards this year (which makes me sad, because I had a great idea for them). I'm very sorry to everyone, so consider this your Merry Christmas from Matt and I. Luckily, presents and cards aren't what this holiday is about. Rather, it's about the birth of our savior, which is the best gift anyone could have ever given to us, especially versus a card. So celebrate the reason! God is good, and we should rejoice in all that he's given us!<br />
<br />
I hope that everyone is having a great Christmas this year, and hopefully I'll be online again before you know it! <br />
<br />
Merry Christmas!<br />
~Heather<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Gah! I've been tagged. And it's short, so why not? <br />
<br />
A list of ten things that bring me joy, in no particular order.<br />
1. God.<br />
2. My husband<br />
3. My friends<br />
4. My family (both my own, and the one I married into!)<br />
5. Reading a good book. <br />
6. Roleplaying<br />
7. Creating<br />
8. Listening to music<br />
9. Winter; with the ice and the snow and all when you still have power<br />
10. Food. <br />
<br />
Now I'm supposed to tag 10 people. But I don't feel like it, so I won't. If you read this, and want to continue it, then have a blast! Otherwise, um... don't. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A real journal, I suppose. Because I feel like I need to talk to someone, but I don't have anyone to talk to right now. Nor do I usually. I don't feel as though I have a great many people that I can talk to about my problems, anyway.<br />
<br />
I don't want to whine, I just want to stir my thoughts, I guess. Get them out without actually getting them out. Leaving readers confused. Let them be confused. The few who read my journals anyway. <br />
<br />
I've come to realize things. About my self, about the friends I have around me. Why I find it so hard to reach out to others. I think I found it. I hurt for others, and I feel so selfish not wanting to hurt anymore than I have to. And yet, I love so much... I can't let go. The friend that I thought I had betrayed me, and... it hurts. Though I suppose I deserve it. But it hurts even more to know that she betrayed herself and God as well. I hurt for her more than I hurt for me. I don't think she even knows. <br />
<br />
And I hurt for him. More than anyone I hurt for him, because I share his pain more than he thinks. Because I can feel it when he's in pain. And I'm not sure what to do. I can't make up his mind for him; it's his choice, his decision. He has to fight his own battle and do what he knows he needs to do. But it hurts to watch. And yet... I can't let go. To not have that hurt would be so much worse.<br />
<br />
I don't feel good today. I wish I could do something useful. It's chilly outside. It rained, and it got chilly. I kind of wish I had a cat to cheer me up. There's something implicitly comforting about the simplicity of an animal's mind that can make me feel better about things. Another great reason for God to have given them to us. <br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ On someone's journal that I watch. Had to leave a comment out of curiosity, so I figured I'd keep up and do it myself.<br />
<br />
Leave a comment here and...<br />
<br />
1. I'll respond with something random about you.<br />
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.<br />
3. I'll pick a flavour of jello to wrestle with you in.<br />
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.<br />
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.<br />
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.<br />
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.<br />
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Matt and I finally have his website up and ready. Why am I saying this? Because now "All My Foals" has a new home now! Rather than using the back button or new tabs on your browser to flip through the images to get to all the pages, you can simply use "next" and "back" buttons on the website, and easily view previous episodes. <br />
<br />
Catch "All My Foals" every so often at it's new home: <a href="http://obeydrx.comicgen.com/allmyfoals.html">[link]</a> ! <br />
<br />
<i>Episode 3, coming soon!</i><br />
<br />
PS-- Speaking of which... Should I add Episode 3 before or after Matt officially starts the comic on August 9th? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...confuses me. I love being a college  student... I guess. Certainly, it seems  more free than high school. But... at  the same time it's the same. I already  had most of the freedoms I have now. It  feels weird having to worry about a lot  of the stuff I didn't have to before,  though. Not stuff that I didn't know  about, really, just... stuff that I  never really placed as much importance  on. Someone else was supposed to worry  about it, not me. And I find myself  slipping into the  "take-control-motherly-role" a lot,  too. Especially with Matt's siblings. I  need to stop that. It just annoys me  sometimes. Seth especially. If he's  sick, then he should <i>take medicine</i> and  do what he can to get rid of it. It's  not fair to everyone else for him to  stay sick because he won't do anything  about it when they can get sick from  him, too. <br />
<br />
Ra. Okay, I'm done with that.<br />
<br />
Dorm life; charming. Charming and  something that I have to admit that I <i> hate</i>. It was fun the first week or two  and... now I want to be done. I don't  want to do this for seven more months.  I hate this place... hate having so  many people around me, having to listen  to them, having to worry about them  listening to me, trying to take a  shower in those tiny shower stalls... I  just... don't like it. I feel so empty  here. I don't know. I'm ranting. It  shouldn't be called a journal, it  should be called a rantal. At least in  my case, it should. <br />
<br />
I walked outside tonight to go get  dinner and... I felt so wrong. Not  wrong, as in I shouldn't be there or  something like that, but... wrong as in  I shouldn't have been by myself. It was  a night to be with someone else. Not  that I'm upset at Matt for having to  work tonight. That doesn't bother me. I  guess what bothers me is that I wasn't  where he was coming home. <br />
<br />
So, I whine. Hurrah. Because I got  myself into a situation I don't like. I  don't know. I never wanted to live in a  dorm... I just didn't see a way out of  it this time. I guess. I want to go sit  outside. But I'm scared. I've been  scared a lot lately... I'm still having  nightmares. I guess that's what they  are. Maybe "before-nightmares" because  it always starts to happen before I go  to sleep...<br />
<br />
I don't know. As usual. Maybe I'm  tired... I'm just... *sigh* feeling  depressed as usual. Not to worry  though, in a little while or tomorrow  my head will be above the clouds  again... until I fall again a few hours  later. Then I can do it all again. <br />
<br />
...allow me to end. Hopefully I'll feel  better tomorrow. <br />
<br />
Btw, I'm still praying for you Sarah. I  know you need it. Take care of yourself  and get better, okay?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hebrew is kinda hard. I'll have to draw  a picture for you all sometime.<br />
<br />
Have I mentioned that Matthew is the  most wonderful thing/person in my life  and that I'm so blessed and gifted to  be able to have him? The Lord is so  great that He would give Matthew to me.  And sometimes he thinks God doesn't  deal directly in our lives... HA. No  one else BUT God could have matched us  up as wonderfully as we are and have  made Matthew so perfectly for me... We  just celebrated our 4-year anniversary  yesterday. Isn't that nice? *smile* <br />
<br />
Okay. Gonna go. See if I can get to  sleep with the noisey girls next door.  Dream of kissing Matt some more. <br />
<br />
Oh, and Sara, keep being all awesome  and stuff by exisisting and stuff,  okay? 'Cause you make a really great  little sister and everyone really  appreciates you. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's Aug. 19th. I am SO busy. Sorry.  I'll get back as soon as I can. I'm now  a Res-Tech for my college, and this is  the busiest time ever... so... yeah.  I'm just kinda... everywhere. <br />
<br />
Hurricanes are bad. Another reason for  my dissaperance. I spelled that wrong,  but I don't care. Tomorrow will be  Friday (a week from when the hurricane  hit), and I know that back home there  still isn't any power. We ran out of  food by the third day. We had to boil  our water before drinking it. The  entire neighborhood was a disaster. We  now have a bad leak in our roof. We  have a broken window. My dad's car got  slammed with a 6-ton storage thingie  and is now totaled. Of course, it can't  even be fixed yet because the auto shop  we had to send it to was also hit badly  by the hurricane. Kissimmee is not the  city to be in right now. All the  telephone poles on the street behind my  house were snapped like twigs. This is  the main source of power for most of  the town. <br />
<br />
Needless to say, I've been extremely  busy. I hope to be back more... soon. I  hope. I'm sorry to everyone who's been  wondering (ie. Sara or others). Thanks  for your patience.  <br />
<br />
God is awesome. And powerful. Do not  toy with him. Have faith. He will let  you live through a hurricane with about  27 funnel clouds in it. He's cool like  that. (btw, it's really funny coming up  here to NC and seeing their headlines  and enterpretation of what happened  down there. It's a lot different when  you experience it yourself. One paper  said that it looks like a bomb went  off. Gee, that makes me feel good. Not  really. It's horrible. Don't get stuck  in a hurricane. It's not cool. Neither  are tornados. Just so you know) ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My beloved is back at his home. *happy  sigh* It makes me feel so much better  to know where he is and that he's safe  and sound. <br />
<br />
So... he went to his friend's wedding.  I still need to ask him about some more  details... He was tired tonight, so I  made sure not to bug him about it much.  <br />
<br />
I love after-dinner mints. It's not a  real wedding without them, you know.  Matt and I will have those at our  wedding. I'm looking forward to ours.  But I'm willing to wait so long as I'm  closer to him. If we have to. <br />
<br />
*sighs happily* God is so great. He's  given me such a wonderful gift and  opened up my eyes to all the other  gifts he has bestowed upon me. He's  such a wonderful God. I wish everyone  would choose to accept His love. <br />
<br />
I went shopping the other day to keep  my mind off Matthew and bought myself  some SpongeBob underclothing. Not that  anyone really wanted to know about  that, but I'm excited about it. Because  I finally gave into actually liking  SpongeBob. *giggle* And his face across  my butt amuses me. Because... Matt  likes his cartoons and... *giggle* It  just amuses me. <br />
<br />
So... I need to get to bed. I'm staying  up too late. And I'd like to read a bit  before I go. <br />
<br />
God is awesome. Yeah. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Our air conditioner died today. Or  rather, it's leaking. This makes me  very sad. Hopefully not moody. We'll  see what tomorrow brings. I hate  Florida weather. I want the air  conditioner back. It's so hot... Blah.  Now I'm whining. <br />
<br />
Anywho... I have a Gir cursor. It's  cute. I don't like Gir, much though.  But I can't seem to find a better one  right now. I'll have to bug Matt about  it. ...if he ever comes online. *blink*  Wonder where he is... <br />
<br />
I'm feeling better though. Because Matt  is so far. I feel like writing. And I  would... except that it's hot. So very  hot. So opressingly hot. How I hate the  hot... <br />
<br />
I finally got myself a carrying case  for my laptop. And a teamaker! So that  I can make my tea! It's awesome! So...  yeah.<br />
<br />
Next on the agenda: sleeping. Any  helpful hints on getting a full nights  sleep? Because I've tried everything  that my "Insomniac's Handbook" suggests  and... nothing has worked. I've even  tried a few things together. Blah. My  wonderful chamomile tea has only worked  to relax me... not actually get me to  sleep. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's about... 4 now. My family is out  watching the new Harry Potter movie. I  could have gone too, but... I decided  not to. I didn't feel like being  reminded again of the empty seat beside  me... and... lately I've been rather  confused on whether he'd even want to  fill it anyway. I figured I'd avoid the  situation and told mom that I've been  seeing a lot of movies lately and my  brain is rather fried. <br />
<br />
My grandma called. I've been getting a  lot better about keeping things to  myself and not pouring my heart out to  her lately. Which is good. I think I  finally got Matt secure in her good  graces again. <br />
<br />
Two months, a week and about five days  left. I want it to be over already. It  feels like time is crawling. And I feel  lonely. Even though it seems like  lately I've been going out with my  friends a lot... ...this is pretty much  the last chance I'll be able to go out  with them. It's kind of funny, really.  Except that I can't seem to laugh about  it. I finally find some friends here...  they fall into my lap, and they  actually seem to enjoy doing stuff with  me... I finally get settled in and at  an "okay" level with this place... and  then I decide to leave. I didn't even  realize before, but... I'm giving up a  lot. But I want to be with Matt. And  he's worth it... I'm just... not sure  how he feels on it anymore sometimes. <br />
<br />
*sighs* I want to curl up in a ball in  a closet somewhere and cry. Or  rather... I want to be held. I think  I'm more deserving of the closet,  though. I feel like crap today. I  think... I'm going to try and go to  sleep or something and maybe it'll pass  the time before I get to talk to Matt  again. ...I don't want him to be sad if  I'm not there when he gets off work.  Though sometimes he's sad anyway... and  I'm rambling and blogging... and... I  should really just get myself a blog. I  really hate myself sometimes. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Um... I'm getting ready for college.  I'm very impatient. <br />
<br />
I'm also trying not to cry right now...  My chest hurts, and I hyperventilated  tonight and nearly blacked out. I'd  blame it on medication like I usually  do, except that I haven't taken any  today. <br />
<br />
...I thought everything was going so  good today. I guess I was wrong. I'm  wrong a lot... <br />
<br />
I'm going to go... cling to my teddy  bear, and... try to keep thinking of  reasons to live. Maybe listen to some  happy music. Something to make me feel  like I'm not some hairball caught in a  cat's throat. Maybe... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ *sigh* Time for another journal  finally. Tonight was Senior Awards  Night, and I went because I knew I was  going to get at least one or two  awards. I guess I should be happy,  but... I feel pretty awful. <br />
<br />
Tonight I got noted for the  Presidential scholarship with  Gardner-Webb I won, the Top Female Math  Student, Outstanding Achievement in  Mathematics with a metal to wear at  graduation, and #7 in class along with  another pin thing to wear at  graduation. For being one of the top in  my class, I also get to walk out with  my parents to get my diploma on  graduation day. I should be happy. As I  was standing with the top of my class  tonight and everyone stood up  clapping... I wanted to cry. I felt  like crying. I almost did. <br />
<br />
Why on earth should I be up there with  the top of my class? What gave me the  right? And it was rigged, also.  "Rigged?" you ask. "Yes, Rigged," I  reply. You see, one of the students in  my class wanted to be #1. Thing is, her  mother works in guidance, so it's given  that whether she deserves it or not  she's still going to get it because her  dear mommy will fix it so that she  does. We were all given up to that  fact. Thing is, another one of my good  friends was #2, because the girl, lets  call her Gloria, took the #1 place even  though Jenny (my friend) deserved it. <br />
<br />
Well, at awards night tonight, Jenny  was NOT #2. Jenny was #4. Why? Because  evidently Gloria and her mother decided  that Gloria's <i>best friend</i> needed to be  #2 instead. So in order to make it  work, Jenny was dropped down to #4 so  as not to mess up the #3 girl. Thus  also dropping me from 6 to 7. Fun. I  don't care. I was still in the top 10,  which is what I wanted, even though I  don't feel as though I deserve it. <br />
<br />
So, why else am I feeling awful? My  family, I guess. Mom, having to be  extremely obvious about everything,  having to find fault with everything,  having to complain about everything,  because nothing can be good. There's  always something loudly wrong that she <i> has</i> to say something about. Grandma is  the same way in a lot of ways, and it  seems as though everyone hates that I'm  into computers. That's what hurts most  of all. Their open hate of me being on  the computer and me liking them. It  makes me like my dad. No one can be  happy just for me. For me finally  finding what I like and what I want to  do and... no one seems to care. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Arg. I think that's my word for today.  I still have so much stuff going on and  to do. I want to crawl under a rock and  die. Well, maybe not die... but dying  would be a lot better than knowing that  everyone forgot about me while I was  under there. <br />
<br />
Arg. Trying not to get all depressed  again. Need to be happy. Happy happy.  Like I was today when I wanted to  write. Only I was more.. peaceful than  happy. Happy is when I'm with Matt. And  I didn't get to write. Even though I  was feeling inspired for once. Dumb  graduation announcements. Why do I have  to announce you anyway? I don't even  want to go to you seeing as there's a  chance my beloved can't be there. They  could just... give me the diploma and  let me go away. <br />
<br />
Arg again. I have to go to Disney  Saturday. My legs still hurt from the  weekend before. My life looks like a  big stretch of nothing but school right  now. And it's not all that appealing.  Having to deal with people. So many  people... *shiver* <br />
<br />
Okay... enough whining for now. 'Least  I don't have to sit with the masses if  I make it into the top ten of my class.  That's a plus. Arg. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, to say the least, I'm feeling  pretty awful.<br />
<br />
Matt isn't totally okay with himself.  He's a little better than he was, I  guess, but... not totally. It just  disturbs me a little, well... a lot,  when he gets like this because he was  always the strong one when it came to  religious faith. Heck, he's the one who  got me to seriously sit down and think  about it again and get back on the  right track. It's because of him I've  had at least somewhat of an influence  on my friend JB to get baptised and...  for some reason he doesn't see it. He  doesn't see a lot of things sometimes.  *sighs a little* But I'll manage, and  hopefully I can help him get back to  himself.<br />
<br />
Went to the Disney Tournament over the  weekend. ...lets just say that it was  pretty exhausting, but fun. I had a  great time around a bunch of geeks like  me. I still felt out of place, though.  They're all SO much better than I am at  everything. Which was part of my spaz  on Friday night when I stormed out of  the hotel room, running to the  stairwell and crouching down crying to  myself. It's probably a good thing that  no one found me. I was too exhausted on  Saturday to repeat the epsiode, even  though I felt the same way. The other  captain that was playing with us,  John-Michael didn't help too much  either. He's SO much like Matt it's not  even funny. They have the same tastes  for foods in general, they're both just  as sweet, about the only real  difference is that John-Michael has  more of a mind for numbers and likes  school a lot more enough to pay  attention and try to learn the stuff.  Like... his cartooning is school  instead of cartooning. He's too smart  though. Not that that's a bad thing.  It's great. If I'd have met him before  Matt he might have been a prospective  partner, but it's a little late now.  Besides, I like Matt better. He's more  fun and stuff. And he does this thing  with his tongue when we kiss... oh,  nevermind.<br />
<br />
I'm still sore from walking around the  parks all day in between games. My legs  hurt, my feet hurt, my back and  shoulders hurt, I still feel tired...  John-Michael said that he liked my  elbows and kept touching them. I've  never had someone tell me they liked my  elbows before.<br />
<br />
Prom was Saturday night. I was talked  into going by my friend. Her "brother"  was my date. He paid for the tickets. I  skipped the quizbowl banquet to go. I  shouldn't have. Prom was pretty awful  for me. My "date" kept tracking me down  and making me dance with him... I  danced with this other Kevin boy even  to get away from my "date." ...that was  pretty low. And awful. And the sad  thing is that I danced better with  Kevin than my "date." And my "date"  thought he had to drink at dinner...  and then out of the drunk in the  parking lot before we went in... and  then when we got back out to the  parking lot afterwards. That was so  inconsiderate. And as though he has to  drink in order to put up with having me  as his date or something? And then  EVERYTIME we took pictures he though he  had to put an arm around me and touch  me or something. They were so shallow  and... ug. It was awful. But JB had a  good time. That's all that matters. I'm  trying not to let her know what an  awful time I had, but it's really hard.  <br />
<br />
That's over now. Now I just have a ton  of homework and no time. *sigh* I want  to go off and cry, but I can't force  myself to take enough time out to do  so. I still have to finish reading a  chapter and do my math homework and...  I'll be lucky if I manage to let myself  take a shower tonight. My shoulders  hurt.<br />
<br />
*sigh* Okay... off to Cisco to finish  reading a chapter so that I can fail  the test tomorrow.<br />
<br />
-----------------<br />
<br />
I've also decided to finally give up on  trying to become a certain person's  friend. I've been trying for a few  months now just to be at least on  friendly speaking terms, but the person  seems to be okay with everyone BUT me,  so I finally took the person off of my  friends list and gave up. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just a quick thing, because I don't  have time to really go into depth or  anything on how I'm feeling. No one  would comment anyway, and my feelings  are a little dark right now for me  wanting to share them with everyone.<br />
<br />
But, anyway, everyone needs to pray for  Weird Al Yankovic (Did I spell that  right?) and his family because his  parents just recently died, and they  were so close and everything... It's so  sad. <br />
<br />
So... they need your support and  thoughts and prayers and... space. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I figured it's about time I posted  another decent journal entry again. Or  actual journal entry. Whatever. <br />
<br />
So, the day before yesterday I finally  went and had my senior pictures taken.  Have I mentioned to anyone that I  really don't like wearing makeup? But I  figured I'd make my grandma happy  (since she was paying for the pictures)  and at least wear a little. So I put on  some eye-shadow and eye liner. I still  can't get myself to feel that covering  your tear ducts with colored whatever  it is that eye liner is made out of is  healthy. I'm very careful not to get it  on my tear ducts. I also used a little  bit of spot concealer. And that's it.  because I couldn't bring myself to use  any lipstick, and I didn't want to wear  the crap in the first place, so I made  sure it looked really natural. No  making my face look like a different  shade that it wasn't actually. <br />
<br />
So, anyway, as far as I know the  pictures didn't turn out that bad.  Won't know for sure until they come in  on the 27th, though. *yawns* This time  change thing has made me really tired. <br />
<br />
I'm so happy, though. My friend JB is  the best, she really is. I really need  to do something for her like I've been  planning/thinking about doing. For  making her prom dress she bought me the  third season of Futurama! Thus  completing my collection thus far! Yay!  I need to have her over for a Futurama  night. She bought me season three, but  she's only seen one episode. So sad  But she's getting baptised Wednesday at  8pm, and I'm going to root her on!  Hurray!<br />
<br />
Have I mentioned to everyone that  Matthew is the greatest fiancé ever?  Because he really is.<br />
<br />
Okay, I don't have anything else good  to say. School and stuff. Yeah. Reading  about Linux. I think I need some  crackers and Italian dressing to wake  me up. ]]></description>

Talk  about being in the wrong place at the  wrong time.<br />

<br />
11. BEACH, CITY, OR COUNTRY?<br />

<br />
19. IF YOU HAD A BIG WIN IN THE  LOTTERY, HOW LONG WOULD YOU WAIT TO  TELL PEOPLE?<br />

Juice.<br />
<br />
21. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR BATHROOM?<br />

<br />

*counts* Two for each of the two cars,  a house key, and a little dinky one,  so... four.<br />
<br />
23. WHERE WOULD YOU RETIRE TO?<br />
Retire? Already? I'm not old enough to  be thinking about retirement. But I  suppose... the moon? Or Mars? Depends  on which one is colonized at the time  or looks better.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ *giggles as the skit on the Monty  Python video she's watching wraps up*  That was great I love stuff about  Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, and  watching a parody about it where the  historical facts are actually correct  is just great *giggles again* This  entire video is about balloons. <br />
<br />
*yawns sleepily* Well, I woke up this  morning. The day before yesterday I  stayed up all night making my friend  JB's prom dress for her. I mean,  literally. I didn't go to bed until  6:30am. And then I couldn't fall  asleep. I think I got about four hours  sleep that morning. Then we went back  to the store to get some more fabric  for her jacket to go with the dress.  Only it's not really a jacket. Its  called a shrug. She spent the night a  third night so we could finish that.  Or I could. I made her cut out some of  the fabric for me, though. I think we  went to bed around 2/2:30 am last  night. Then I woke up around 10am this  morning to take her home. I felt awful.  So I went back to bed and half-slept  until about 3. Then I woke up, still  feeling just as awful. Took a shower.  And now I'm well, relaxing a bit and  trying to wake up and feel better. I  feel awful still and tired. And my  knees hurt. I rug burned them while  working on the dress and shrug.  Because, see, I don't have a chair to  sit on while I sew, instead I stand on  my knees and sew that way. So now I  have rug burns that hurt like mad. <br />
<br />
*takes a bite of her homemade ice  cream* You know, I'm 5'4" tall. How  tall are you? Well? If you're reading  this you have to tell me how tall you  are. Or that you don't know. But you  have to say. Hear me? Get with it. Get  telling me. <br />
<br />
On another note, actually sleeping more  last night hasn't managed to cheer me  up, either. I feel really emotionally  drained and... just lying in bed crying  and acting like the lump of nothing I  feel like sounds really nice. But when  I physically don't feel good like I do,  staying in bed makes it worse. So I'm  not. But I feel like it. How tall are  you? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A girl walks in, not onto an empty  stage as in most personal journals, but  onto a grassy hill where the breeze is  gently blowing, the sun is shining  brightly, and the air is cool and  crisp. The girl is average high (about  5'4") and is barefoot. She is wearing a  jean skirt with a small slit up the  front for maneuverability and a Curious  George t-shirt that's two sizes too big  and says "Houston, we have a monkey"  Her hair is brown, but looks red with  the sun shining so brightly today and  falls past her shoulders to the middle  of her back. She didn't gel it on this  particular day, so it looks pretty  frizzy. She is also wearing a silver  necklace with a silver dragon pendant  on it that her beloved gave to her when  the two of them first saw each other in  person. The girl sits on the grass  since this is her dreamscape and there  aren't any bugs. <br />
<br />
She glances down and picks some fuzz  off of her pretty diamond rings she got  when Matt asked her to marry him. She  then pushes her glasses off since they  insist on sliding down her nose. <br />
<br />
"Hi," she announces to anyone who may  be reading this journal entry. "Just  wanted to update everyone that I'm  still alive. And I'm okay." The girl  blinks. "Have you ever thought about  just how much God loves you? And  thought about all the wonderful things  he's given to you and done for you?  Because when you think about that, it's  really a great feeling. Really, it is.  You should try it some time.<br />
<br />
"And have you begun to wonder why I'm  writing this journal in the third  person? If you have, the answer is that  I really don't know. Other than perhaps  I need some practice with third-person  writing again. I used to write all of  my journals in third person. Though  I've never had myself actually speak in  them like this. The reason I did that,  was again to get the practice, and also  to push my problems onto whoever the  'girl' I'm writing about is. You see,  then all the problems that I have are  hers, and they're not my problems  anymore. Not that I really believed  that. But still. It helped.<br />
<br />
"So now what? Well, I'm not really  sure. I'm probably going to tell you a  bunch of stuff about how I'm busy  creating a yahoo group for my friend JB  and I for when we go to college. You  see, we write this story together  taking turns, and it's not done yet. So  we want to continue it when we go to  college. So I finally got everything  typed up and now all I have to do is  create the group and upload everything  into it. Then I'll give you all a link  in case you're interested in reading  the terrible story."<br />
<br />
The girl stopped and thought to  herself. <br />
<br />
"I'm still thinking about getting an  actual blog. I'm a geek already, may as  well cement it. It's pretty fun being a  geek, though." <br />
<br />
The girl stands up. "I'm going to go  now. I need to do other stuff. Like  putting on my brace because my hand is  killing me." <br />
<br />
The girl waves and turns around,  walking down the other side of the hill  and out of the dreamscape. The cool  breeze continued to blow across the  thick grass, ruffling it back up where  she had been sitting. The sun gradually  dimmed until it finally went out  totally with a sharp "click" sound.  Darkness. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm here. It's sorta my spring-break.  Yay. <br />
<br />
*blink* <br />
<br />
I don't have anything to say. I can't  get a picture to show up as a link to  my website.<br />
<br />
<br />
----10:33pm<br />
<br />
I'm still here. I still can't get the  picture to show up. I think I'm on the  down side of the roller coaster again.  I can feel it slowly sinking. Down,  down, down. I was up for a while, I  really was. I felt good. I felt  creative. I still do, kinda. It's  just... *sighs* I feel left out. of  everything. because... I'm not all  artsy like matt is... and... no one  else seems to want to talk to me. which  I can understand, because I'm really  not all that good at making  conversation or even friends, but...  then I'm not really around people who  like what I like or know what I'm  talking about. mainly not knowing what  I'm talking about. I can't help it,  though... I like calculus and computers  and... it wouldn't matter so much  except that I'm a girl and for some  reason girls aren't supposed to like  that stuff. in fact, according to most  people NO ONE is supposed to like that  stuff, let alone a girl. so I'm alone.  and I know that Matt loves me and  everything... I really do know that,  honey... it's just... it doesn't help  as much when you're not here. I want to  be with you all the time... and... I  can't... so I still feel alone and left  out and a lot of times un-loved, even  though I know you love me. and I know  that God loves me too, it's just... not  really registering right now. it'll  register better when I'm in a better  environment. right now it's hard  though. I like school. I like to learn.  I'm interested in weird things. I'm me.  *sighs* I feel like such a terrible,  whiney person. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ 1. Do you have a partner, b/f, g/f?  --Duh. I'm engaged.<br />
<br />
2. What is her/his name? --Matthew K.  Garner<br />
<br />
3. How did you meet? --We first met on  the internet. My friend introduced us  to each other. <br />
<br />
4. When did you meet? --In person? The  summer before my Sophomore year in high  school. He stayed at my house for three  days. <br />
<br />
5. Do you remember what you were  wearing when you first met? --It was  summer, so I'm guessing shorts and a  tank top? I don't remember these  things. It doesn't matter what I was  wearing.<br />
<br />
6. Do you remember what he/she was  wearing when you first met? --A shirt  and shorts? Again, I don't remember the  unimportant details. I remember that he  took his shirt off a little while after  we went inside because it was so hot,  though...<br />
<br />
7. Do you remember a song that was  popular at the time you first met?   --Goodness, no. I remember that I liked  listening to "She's an angel" by TMBG  at the time.<br />
<br />
8. Do you have a special song?  --Geepers. We've talked about this a  lot and we can never really decide on  one. A lot of songs remind me of him,  though. Like "Fingerprints of God" by  Steven Curtis Chapman.<br />
<br />
9. Do you have a special movie?  --Special movie? Couples are supposed  to have special movies? Are we supposed  to have a special toothpaste, too?<br />
<br />
10. What is the age gap between both of  you? --He's about 4 years older than  me.<br />
<br />
11. What is your opinion on older woman  going out with younger men? --Well...  you can if you want. I don't really  like younger men myself, though... so  immature...<br />
<br />
12. Do you know their birthdate?  --August 9, 1982<br />
<br />
13. Do you know where they were born?  --Somewhere in Virginia, if I remember  right.<br />
<br />
14. Is he/she a Star sign that are you  compatible with? --Yes, as though it  really matters.<br />
<br />
15. Do they have annoying habits? --No.  Though he won't clean his glasses on  his shirt. Has to go get Windex and use  paper towel all the time. But I don't  find that annoying, just amusing.<br />
<br />
16. Have you told them about their  annoying habits? --He doesn't have any  annoying habits to tell him about.<br />
<br />
17. Do they snore? --He hasn't around  me so far. I think I do sometimes  though.<br />
<br />
18. Do they hog the bed? --...I haven't  slept with him to know yet. It doesn't  seem like he would, though. If  anything, I think I'd be the one more  likely to hog the bed. I tend to spread  out in my sleep.<br />
<br />
19. How often do you have sex? --We  don't have sex. We're waiting to be  married like any decent couple should  do. Sex isn't everything.<br />
<br />
20. Are you satisfied with your sex  life? --I'm sure I would be if I <i>had</i> a  sex life. I'm quite content not having  a sex life right now.<br />
<br />
21. Do you have sex just to satisfy  them even though you don't feel like  it? --Listen, even if I <i>was</i> having sex,  do you really think I'd tell you  something like that?<br />
<br />
22. If yes, why? --*goes to steal  Fantasy's mallet to hit the person  asking the questions*<br />
<br />
23. Do you have similar interests?  --Somewhat. We're opposites in a lot of  ways, but we're the same in many more  ways. For instance, he's into gaming a  lot more than I am, and I'm into  reading and books a lot more than he  is... <br />
<br />
24. Do you have similar tastes in  music? --Again, somewhat. We both like  comedy music and Christian music, but I  like country a lot more than he does,  and I like a few other bits and pieces  of other types of music and he doesn't.  I told you, we're opposites in lots of  ways.<br />
<br />
25. Do you have kids? --Certainly not!  I'm not even out of high school yet!  I'm not that dumb!<br />
<br />
26. Are they your partners, b/f's,  g/f's kids? --*whaps the person with  the mallet*<br />
<br />
27. Do you know what your partner, b/f,  g/f is doing now? --Chatting to me.  Trying to type with his freezing cold  fingers.<br />
<br />
28. When did you last have a fight?  --We've never had a fight. I hope we  never do. It's impossible to get mad at  him...<br />
<br />
29. When did you last kiss? --The last  time we were together. In February, I  think.<br />
<br />
30. When did you last hug? --Ditto.<br />
<br />
31. What colour are their eyes?  --*tauntingly* Somebody doesn't know  any grammar or how to spell... *giggle*  Matt's eyes are the most brilliantly  blue color... and when the light gets  dimmer, his pupils dilate really big  and it's really weird to watch. It  freaked me out the first time I saw  them do that.<br />
<br />
32. What colour is their hair (If they  have any)? --*giggle* Did you ever even  take an English class? That's really  horrible... And his hair is a dark  brown color, and when he gets in the  sun there's little red highlights  through it.<br />
<br />
33. What do you think their best... ]]></description>

<br />
My mommy and I went to the dollar store  today. She bought me a Code Red  Mountain Dew. Ahhh the sweet, sweet  caffeine. How I love thee, caffeine.  Let me count the ways. <br />
<br />
1) You taste like cherries.<br />
2) You're cold and refreshing.<br />
3) It is a hot day outside. <br />
4) You give me energy.<br />
5). Ah, well, so there's only 4 ways  that I love you. That's okay. <br />
<br />
Pecan rolls are yummy. So is chocolate.  The neighbor's dog won't eat anything  because she misses her family. I need  to get her to eat. <br />
<br />
A salad sounds nice. I didn't get the  full tuition scholarship from my  college. I don't rock. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday I went to see the big movie  everyone has been talking about. I took  my friend JB with me, and honestly, I'm  glad I did. This is what happened, and  these are my thoughts.<br />
<br />
I drove us there in the rain. I was  feeling some trepidation simply from  all the talk going on about the movie.  Could it really be that bad? It was  about our Savior, I knew It couldn't  be pretty or anything, it had to be  rather nasty looking Even just reading  about it in the Bible had got me crying  before <br />
<br />
JB and I went and bought our tickets  and went ahead into the theatre about  25 minutes ahead of time. We found our  seats and chatted about it a little  before. We joked about crying, and  talked to each other about the  previews, and then the movie started.<br />
<br />
I must say, that going into this movie,  I already knew what to expect. Who  doesn't? If you're watching a movie  about a crucifixion, then you should  expect it to be gruesome. Not to  mention that the movie gives it away a  little. It's called the &quot<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />assion of Christ"  but that's a little misleading. In  this case, &quot<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />assion" is derived from the  Latin word &quot<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />athos" which means "suffering."  So really, the movie is entitled the " Suffering of Christ."<br />
<br />
The movie starts a little weird. Jesus  is praying alone, and then he goes back  to the three disciples that are with  him, asks them why they are sleeping  (read your Bible, the scene's in  there), and then he goes back to pray  on his own, where a figure appears. I'm  quite sure that the figure is supposed  to be the Devil, or rather represent  the Devil, and temptation. The snake  being the serpent kinda gave it away.  Yet, this figure is shown throughout  the movie in many different scenes. (We  must keep in mind that it IS Mel  Gibson's <i>interpretation</i> of the last 12  hours of Jesus's life, even though most  of it is directly from the Bible) I  like the fact that the figure of  temptation was there, though. Because  when you think about it Jesus could  have stopped it at any time. All he had  to do was speak up and say "No, I was  lying; I'm not the Son of God I'm just  making things up, please forgive me."  But he didn't. He kept going. And he  did it for us.<br />
<br />
Halfway through the movie, when it got  to the whipping scene (the worst one,  in my opinion), I heard JB crying. I  put my hand on her shoulder, never  taking my eyes away from the screen.  She put her hand over mine, and I  started crying too. Throughout the rest  of the movie we were clinging to each  other and crying off and on. <br />
<br />
If I could use one word to describe  this movie, it would be INTENSE. It's  very intense. And vivid. I wanted to  cry first thing. The first time they  wrapped a rope around Jesus, I wanted  to cry. The first time they hit him  with a chain, before he was ever  brought to the city, I flinched. I knew  it was a movie, but it didn't matter.  More than ever before, I just wanted to  tell him that I was sorry so sorry for  what he had to do. It was great, I  know, but I'm still sorry. I can't help  but feel that way.<br />
<br />
Those people calling out to free a  murderer instead of a man who had  really done no one else any direct  harm, I wanted to shout at them, to  shake them. "What are you doing?! Can't  you see what he's doing for you?! For  me?! And you don't even care?! How  could you?!" I now realize that my first  thoughts after reading that part of the  Bible were right to begin with. It  really must have been so frustrating to  tell people the Truth, and no one  really wanted to listen or wanted to  care. And he knew from the beginning.  That must have made it so much more  worse. Like in that picture by Raphael  of the Sistine Madonna. I always liked  that picture. It showed so much  emotion. The reason the two of them  look the way they do in it is because  they're looking on at a picture of what  will happen to Jesus. <br />
<br />
When it got to the crucifixion scene, a  man sitting a couple seats down from me  started crying.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to go over all the  details. First, because it really did  stick to the Bible very well. Read the  Bible. It's not really a secret how it  ends. And watch the movie. You don't  have to Sarah, because I know you're  already such a strong believer but for  those of you who sometimes ask yourself " why?". This could be the movie for you.  Some of us are visual people, some of  us are not. <br />
<br />
And also everyone don't forget that  Jesus rose again. That's really part of  the important part. Really. <br />
<br />

Time for an actual update. Thank my  parents for getting me a laptop  computer for graduation and being too  impatient to wait for graduation to  give it to me. That's the only reason  I've had time to type this stuff out.  I've been so busy with school and just  everything. I finally got this weekend  (three day weekend) to relax a little  and get some things done. This includes  preparing for Megacon. <br />
<br />
Megacon is in about two weeks. It's the  first weekend in March. And for anyone  who's curious, Megacon is a big  anime/comic book/gaming convention in  Orlando. It's awesome. I went last  year, and I loved it, but I felt out of  place for not dressing up as one of my  favorite characters. I vowed to dress  up this year, and that's why I spent  all day (and practically all night)  from Friday to Saturday making my  costume. I wanted to be Evil Princess  Sarah from <a href="http://www.nuklearpower.com">8-Bit Theatre</a> but I don't  have anyone to help me with the  costume, and that's one that I don't  think I can manage on my own. <br />
<br />
Therefore, I'm going as Fantasy this  year. *smiles happily* It'll be rather  odd, her showing up without Daye, but  I'll make something up. Not sure if Im  going to enter the costume contest or  not. I actually might, just because I  know I'd probably get something at  least for most original character or  something. That might be fun. I'll take  pictures. Lots of pictures. But,  anyway, I spent all day Friday (and  especially all night until about 4am  in the morning) coming up with patterns  for her robe, and then I woke up around  10am on Saturday and started working on  it again. It wouldn't have been so  hard, except that I had NO patterns at  all to go off of. In fact, all I had to  go off of was a turtle-neck sweater I  had torn apart, and that only worked  for part of the collar and how the  sleeves connected to the shoulders. So  I had to come up with the patterns  myself. I finally finished it last  night around 2am. All finished. Now all  I have to do is come up with shoes and  her mallet. I woke up today a little  after 1 in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
Now you all know what's going on with  me. Hopefully I'll be able to be "here" a  little more often for a while. For now,  I'm going to try using those little  icon thingies to see how it works. I  really need to say thank you. *smiles* <br />

I love you. I often feel I  can't say that enough. Thank you  always, my Chosen one. <br />

I often  feel as though you're overlooked, and  I'm very sorry about that if and when  it happens. You're a great artist in  your own right with your own style and  great ideas. And you're a great brother  and friend too. Really, I'm not just  making things up. I wish I could have  the kind of relationship you and Matt  and Michaela have with my little  brother. Thanks for dealing with me  when I come over. And keep in mind, I'm  not taking Matt away I'm just trying  to join in, even if I'm not very good  at it. *smiles* I have a feeling our  kids are going to see a whole lot of  their "Uncle Seth" when we finally have  them. <br />

You're such a great friend and  a great person. I'm so glad I've had  the chance to meet you and be able to  call you my friend. Thank you so much  just for that. Just for being your  wonderful self. I know you have it  rough a lot of the time and, well keep  in mind that I'm here for you if you  ever need me, okay? <br />
<br />
In my thoughts and prayers: <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ *has a coughing fit* Geepers, I feel  like Raistlin. My cough drops aren't  even helping anymore.<br />
<br />
Thought I would give a slight update.  Sorry I haven't put up a decent journal  entry since I've been back. I've been  very busy with school and COUGHING and  trying to get my voice back from my  stupid sore throat.<br />
<br />
I got some film developed, though, and  I put up some pictures yesterday to try  and make-up for it. I promise I'll tell  everyone about my trip and stuff when I  get a chance (I wrote it down once I  got off the plane, I just want to type  it up because my handwriting is  terrible in it.).<br />
<br />
Well, I need to go... have to play with  routers for class. <br />
<br />
Sorry! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Flying scares me. Have I mentioned that  to anyone? The plane I flew up to  Charolette was really big. Like.. it  had three extra seats down the center  of it. The plane I usually fly on is  probably just big enough for 25 people  or so. Tiny. But... big planes, small  planes... they're all really scary. <br />
<br />
Nonetheless, I survived. And it wasn't  too horibbly bad. I wasn't really sick  afterwards this time. Rather, Matt's  Mom's driving afterwards made me sick. <br />
<br />
Speaking of Matt... *happy, dreamy  sigh* He's so wonderful. Just know  that, okay? I get to see him again  tomorrow. I'm so happy. And... I feel  so special. He has such a great family  and... for everyone to accept me the  way they do and... <b>I love Gardner-Webb  University!</b> I don't really care that  they don't have the best Computer  Science department...<br />
<br />
I'm staying the night with a girl named  C.J. and her room-mate Rebecca. C.J. is  the nicest girl... they have Bible  scriptures on the walls... they had  christian music playing when I came  in... they have notes to each other  hung up on a little board that say  things like "Becca, just thought I'd  remind you that God loves you and  you're a great person and I'm glad I  have you as a friend." <b>Everyone</b> at this  college just seems SO welcoming and  friendly... and people keep coming up  to me and asking me who I am and just  wanting to know me and... This is such  a great environment. <br />
<br />
The weather is rainy. *smiles* Cold,  rainy, wet. I went from 80 degree  weather to 37 degree weather. And you  know what? I like the 37 degrees  better. Matt and Seth had a fire going  in the fire place of their room. I got  to kiss him again. My hands are really  cold. <br />
<br />
*giggles happily* Now hopefully I can  get through tomorrow's interview.  That's the only thing. I'm kinda  nervous about it, but... y'know... I'm  really not. Because... this is just...  such a great place and... I really hope  I can get a scholarship. <br />
<br />
It is 34 degrees right now. Yay! I hope  it snows! <br />
<br />
...I'm really tired though. I hope they  don't plan on keeping me awake all  night. I get to see Matt again  tomorrow, though. That will be good.  Good, good, good.<br />
<br />
Goodness to all! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ *wonders why everyone has been putting  the whole "mood, listening to, reading"  thing at the top of their journal  entries. Thinks it would be a little  hard to be writing a journal entry  while reading something else.* <br />
<br />
I have a headache as usual. It's  Monday, though, and my Monday's are  notorious for giving me a headache. " Manic Monday" is a great song. <br />
<br />
I downloaded the entire Rocky Horror  Picture Show soundtrack last night. The  bad thing is that I know most of the  call-outs for all the songs, and even  where the action call-outs go during  the song. I've gone there too often. My  friend Bill tried to persuade me to  join the cast last time we went (last  weekend). I only go occasionally, and I  just couldn't see going twice a month  plus practices. I feel dirty enough  just by going the few times that I do.  It's such an awful movie. Don't watch  it.<br />
<br />
*sighs* Thursday I take a plane to  North Carolina. Which is good, because  I'll get to see Matt again, but I'm  nervous about the scholarship interview  (the whole reason I'm going up there).  I think saying "Please give me a  scholarship because I want to go to  your school because the location is  good for me and I'll get to visit my  fiancÃ©e." isn't going to give me very  many green lights. Even though that's  not the only reason I want to go  there... I love the atmosphere there.  It's so friendly and nuturing-feeling.  And it's a Christian college so... I'm  not going to get evil looks for saying  a quick prayer before a test or sitting  in my car before school starts to say a  prayer or have to argue with stupid  SLUTS about the Bible (She says that  she doesn't understand centering your  entire life around a book. Long story.  I don't like her.). And seriously, how  cool would it be able to ask your  teacher how and if something relates to  the Bible.  I'm sure history classes  there would be extremely interesting.  From a different view-point, anyway.  Maybe my old history teacher is right,  maybe I should major in history... Nah.  I like my computers too much. Maybe I  could pull a double minor. Management  and History. Major in Computer Science.  Now that's kind of an odd combination.<br />
<br />
I think I'm going to pray for the SLUT.  I recognize that I don't like her, but  that doesn't mean I have the right to  not hope that she gets saved. "Jesus  paid much to high a price, for us to  pick and chose who should come, and we  are the body of Christ..." as a song I'm  extremely fond of says. So I'm going to  pray for her. Maybe we can improve on  her SLUTY-NESS. <br />
<br />
I have Quiz-bowl today. Yay. No,  really, I like Quiz-bowl. I'm not good  at it, but I enjoy it. It's very  interesting, at the least. Have to  remember to exchange screen-names with  John-Michael this time. <br />
<br />
Okay, well, I'm just rambling now. Hope  my headache goes away. <br />
