Quizzes are fun! ^_^ And yeah, I was quasi bored or something. The first time I took it I kinda skimmed through the questions, so I retook it...plus there were a few questions I had to really think about.....
Anyways, tonight I'm having dinner at my dad's. My stepmom Shirley is a good cook, so whatever she makes is fine with me. Then friday evening me, my mum, Jim, sister, and Ashley have reservations for a japanese restaurant called Misu I think. They have this strict policy against leftovers though, like if you don't finish everything they charge extra for the stuff you don't eat and you can't take leftovers home...kinda odd but whatev, they have SUSHI. Saturday afternoon is a movie, then 725 in the evening, then afterwards a bunch of friends and me are gonna try to catch a new movie, called Amazing Grace. It's about the life of he dude who wrote the song. Apparently he was a slave trader and stuff. Sounds interesting. Then sunday evening is Saturate, in Steinbach! I've heard only awesome things about it. And yeah, that's pretty much my weekend.
I think saturday around noon I'm gonna go donate blood...haven't done that in quite a while. I used to do it regularly and I liked it, I wanna get back to doing it more again. Honestly the needle part isn't as bad as some might think. I'm so used to it by now from doing it so much, that now anytime I get a needle it's no biggie. I used to HATE needles too. Actually the "worst" part would be when they prick your finger to test for iron levels in your blood....it has to be at least 2 points above the average/normal or something, otherwise they won't let you donate. But even that part I'm mostly used to and it's not that bad.
My dad took me grocery shopping a week or 2 ago, and when I told him it was my first time grocery shopping for just myself he was all "omg where's your camera! we have to get a picture of your first time grocery shopping!" then proceeded to take a few pics of me....he can be so cheesy sometimes haha. But then again, so can I. XD I got chocolate flavoured soy milk! It really is "so good"! Yeah, that's the brand name XD ...Soy milk might take some people getting used to, but it really isn't gross like some might think. I like it! I also got some vegetarian meat stuff.....wooo go me. I've tried it before at a friend's house who is vegan, and it's really good. I'm attempting to use more vegetarian choices, even if I don't end up going full vegetarian....if that happens it might take me some time. I'm not completely against eating real meat, also obviously I can't be considered a vegetarian....it's just more that I hate how the animals were treated in their life and how they're killed that I'm concerned with...which sadly, most meat comes from animals that were treated badly. Sheesh, and we're supposed to be good stewards of this earth.......
And now for my recommended website of the day..ok not really but it's a good one to check out: www.engrish.com ...yesterday I saw a picture from a sign in China, and the translated text on it said "I am the national treasure and I hate noise." o.0 ....Kinda makes you wonder who the heck translates for these countries...5 year olds? Teenyboppers? Meh but it makes for one heck of a funny collection of engrish pics from around the world...especially east Asia, cuz they have the craziest engrish. XD
Well, hope anyone that sees this has a good weekend. Later.
So quite a bit has been happening lately, I JUST moved out on my own for the first time, and have been living here in my new home since the beginning of february. It's pretty cool, I'm in a house with a roomie, currently looking for a 3rd roomie. Actually, a girlfriend was looking to move with me into this place, but that didn't work out. So now our landlord is pressing on us to find a 3rd roomie ASAP. I would prefer a female one, since I'm not too sure how I feel about being the only female here yet, but if it comes down to it I'm not gonna be picky as long as we find someone soon....there's another part of this house in the back where a single dad and son live, and my other roomie is an older single dad. My dad and him used to be roomates like forever ago, and he trusts him, and since he knew I was looking for a place he asked the guy about it and well here I am. It's pretty big, I think it was built in the 1930's by a wealthy Jewish family...my bedroom used to be the dinning room, the huge upstairs living room was apparently a mini-ballroom....and the back end of the house where the other 2 live used to be servant's living quarters. So apparently it's a mini-mansion of some kind. The rent is 1400/month altogether, but until we find another person the landlord lowered it for us so we only have to pay like 500 each. He's a really good landlord. The house is close to a lot of things, like 7-11, safeway, IGA, 2 laundromats, everything in walking distance, which is awesome. God has blessed me in this. I had to use the laundromat for the first time, and didn't really know how to work things.....yeah, but it was fun....and stuff.
Over the past year or so I'd been getting seemingly random, and re-occuring pain attacks in my abdomen area. But it would usually only last maybve a few hours and ome and go every couple months or something. Then in january I had extremely bad ones twice in the same week, which never happened so friday morning after being attacked with pain/nausea the entire night I decided it was time to go to the hospital and get it checked out. Well they found some gall stones, and I'm supposed to go see a surgeon about surgery to have them removed. I've been praying for a complete healing, as well an older lady I know from my church has instructions for getting rid of them naturally, and another one I talked to has as well, so I'm gonna attempt to do that. Apparently you have to make this drinking type of concoction with epsom salts and some other stuff, and drink it at VERY specific times of the day, and don't do anything really physical all that day too, and I think you need to have the next day/morning off as well or something. I'm not worried though, I've been watching that I don't do anything that might trigger another pain attack, and yeah God's just been giving me peace throughout so it's all good.
I'm going to see Switchfoot in concert this saturday! Can't wait........I saw them once when I was at Youth Encounter at Providence College some years back, and they rocked my socks so bad. They're also one of the awesomest bands to meet in person, so open and friendly and talkative. MOSH PIT TIME. YES.
Also. Looking for a third job, one that's full time. Cuz my other 2 part time jobs haven't been getting me enough hours lately. So yeah, handing out resumes and all that jazz. Speaking of Jazz, I'm pretty excited to see the new Transformers movie when it comes out. 07/04/07, baby! I wanna go to the opening show! XD
Well, this nighthawk should get to bed. Hope everyone out there in internet land is doing good.

Repost this with "End of '06 Survey"
Sorry it's not much of an actual post right now. I got a laptop now though so I expect to be updating more often :D
I've decided to post this youtube video because it's just so awesome and inspiring. It moved me to tears the first time I saw it, and I think the world needs more people like this guy. I also really love the music. This is just too good to not pass along:
THIS GUY IS ONE OF MY NEW HEROES.
Some other people and me actually did a free hugs thing back in 2001, at a presbytarian international youth conference (Triennium) in Indiana. We went about our conference activities wearing "free hugs" signs. It was awesome!
Small and late update. I would just like to know if anybody knows what happened to GreatestJournal.com?? I had a journal on there and now I've lost it. (I hadn't signed into GJ in a while so did I miss something?) I also had icons on my account there that I've lost before so now I can't resave them either. Blah. Oh btw I seemed to have started using myspace.com more for updating and stuff. Anyone that wants to see more recent blog updates or just keep in touch can check it out: www.myspace.com/tenshimoon
I seemed to have lost interest in updating now though, which is weird for me since I used to love it. I think it's just a phase. Either way I'm still gonna keep doing it.....I actually was "nudged" to update again lol. But now there's too much stuff I wanna write about and sheesh I hate doing long updates. ACK. So let me try to list some of the stuff I've been up to since my last update:
Me and Ashley gave a small tour of the city to her cousin from London, England. Took her to the museum and the zoo and she loved it. She's so nice too!
Went to a whole bunch of pavilions during Folklorama, such as the Japanese one, German, Russian, Scandinavian, Scottish and Celtic Ireland. I'd have to say my most favs were the Japanese one and the Celtic Ireland one.....it made me proud to be part Irish (the good kind of proud lol).
Got a new haircut with semi bangs.....haven't had anything close to bangs since like grade 4. o.0
Saw The Phantom of the Opera live at the concert hall Sept. 27th.......wow, I LOVED it!
Went to Build-A-Bear the other day for a young cousin's birthday. Made my own bear and picked out a 1950's style poodle skirt outfit for it. They even come with "birth certificates" and I named it Hikari.
Attempting to go see the Peter Pan ballet with a friend in late December. Anyone that lives in Winnipeg and wants to see it is welcome to join us.
As of late I've also gotten into imvu.com. And that's my update in short lol. I'll try not to let it go for so long without updating.
I recently saw the movie "Over the Hedge" on opening friday night with my good friend Serena, it was so awesome! I loved it! If any of you haven't seen it yet and was thinking about it, then go see it! It exceeded my expectations.
This past weekend I went with my mum, Jim, and my friend Ashley to Kenora for part of the weekend, and we had an awesome time. Gosh I haven't been there in so long, I missed it. First we went on the M.S. Kenora boat cruise through the Lake of the Woods, we passed by Anglican Island where me and my mum used to go for Camp Getaway, and then through Devil's Gap where that painted rock is. I took pics using my mum's camera phone, so they're not all that good quality, but they still look pretty good. And Ashley is getting along so well with my family that she practically adopted by my mum lol. My mum just lets her stay over whenever we want as long as we want, it's fun. So that's why she asked if Ashley wanted to come along for the trip. Well also she knew Ashley would love visiting her old home again too, I got to meet her aunt's family too. We also did some shopping and went out for dinner. The weather was absolutely perfect too. Oh and a neat little coincidence that happened was when I was in the mall there, they had the singer Roxette signing autographs. I don't really know the singer so I didn't bother getting in line for one lol.
As a birthday present my mum got me 2 tickets to see the Swan Lake Ballet, and I took Ashley since I remembered that we had talked about going together someday for a couple years now. It was my very first time seeing it live, and I LOVED it! I'm so gonna have to see it more. And my mum got us good seats too, second row in the middle. Now me and Ashley are talking about seeing the Phantom of the Opera when it comes to Winnipeg. I recently saw the 2004 movie of it, and now it's one of my favs. The music is so good! And the storyline is not what I had thought it would be. If you haven't seen it; it's some kind of love story where this young girl (named Christine Daae) is getting music lessons from a "mysterious" stranger she's never met (they talk through a thin wall) that she's nicknamed her "angel of music" and believes he was sent to her by her deceased father, because her dad used to read to her stories when she was little about an angel of music. But he's really the rumoured "phantom" (his real name is Erik) that people talk about, and he becomes infatuated with her. Her old childhood friend/boyfriend recognizes her at one of her performances and they meet again for the first time in years and fall in love, but the "phantom" becomes jealous and wants her for his own. You know, the whole "love triangle" situation. The ending is so good but I won't spoil it for anybody reading this that hasn't seen it yet....unless you're like me and hearing the ending never ruins it for you, then if you really want to know ask me and I'll pm you or something about it. But yeah, and the acting in the 2004 release was awesome, Emmy Rossum plays such a loveable Christine, and was trained in opera singing and is really good at it. The actress who plays her best friend Meg is just too adorable! And Erik is portrayed so well, I couldn't help but pity the character after a while. He hides his face with a mask because he was born with half a disfigured face, and was basically hated by his mom and dad, and then treated as an outcast because of his face growing up. And he hid underground the operahouse since he was younger and basically lived lonely and in self-loathing. It's so tragic and sad. So yeah, I recommend it lol.
I know it's pretty late, but I can't seem to sleep yet. And I have a shift starting at 7:30am. o_0
My dad asked me what I wanted for my birthday. So I told him about this really awesome tote bag I saw in the window of an art supply store on Graham Ave that I've had my eye on for quite a while now....it has my favourite painting by Vincent van Gogh on it, called "Starry Night". So yesterday morning(monday) after my shift I went to check the price of it for him, and asked them to put it on hold for me....he said he'll just probably give me the money as my present and then I can use it to buy my presents.
I've really been blessed this week, like more than usual, with alot of things. And I wanna say, I know I have great friends and I've kinda felt like maybe I haven't been appreciating them as much as I should be, or just forgetting to be thankful for them, every single day. I mean I feel like I've kinda let myself dwell on certain things lately, certain thoughts that I know I should just let go of. I guess it's easy to get that way from time to time, but the most important thing is that we remind ourselves to not stay in that frame of mind and to be thankful for even just having those friends in our lives in the first place. And not just our inner circles but all levels of friendships. I know I'm gonna remind myself of that everywhere I go. And I think it's also important to remind ourselves of why we became friends with that person in the first place and stuff like that.
Even if you and another friend are going through a period of disagreements or maybe even arguments, a true friend doesn't stop being your friend just becuz the 2 of you don't see eye-to-eye on some things, heck true friends are even ones that can yell at each other and argue and still be friends after that. They won't change the way they treat you or stop talking to you just becuz you might have said or done something they didn't agree with or like. Now I have had friends in the past who after one little disagreement or even an argument they didn't wanna be friends anymore, or even ones who just decided that one day they're a friend to me and the next day they aren't. Sometimes people can be so unfair like that, but it really does make you all the more appreciative of the ones who don't act that way. If I ever, for whatever reason got into a disagreement or even an argument with another friend I would expect them to talk it out calmly without getting mad (or at least trying hard not to), and to still be committed to making the friendship work, just like I would do.
Ok I think I got a little off-track, but anyways my main point is that I want to stay appreciative and thankful always for all of the true friends I've been blessed with, no matter who you are. Even if we've lost touch with each other over time, or just haven't gone much further than the first stage of friendship, I want every one of you to know that you are definitely thought of, and not forgotten, even if I may not show it at times.....and if you have ever felt that way then my apologies becuz that was never my intent. Your friendship IS appreciated and has meant alot to me. Each friendship and level of friendship has the potential to enrich our lives in some kind of way even if it's small, or may not seem like much to us. Especially if you keep an open mind enough to remember that you can learn something new from everybody, regardless of age, appearance, income, culture, beliefs or anything else. You might even be surprised at what someone else may know, or what they have to offer. I'm not saying that you won't disagree on a subject or that they won't be wrong about something, but they can still bring something positive to your life if you let them.
I guess I just like to keep things positive so much becuz really, there's way too much negativity in this world....so much that I think people no longer see it as negativity anymore, becuz it's become so ingrained into their way of thinking. Well anyways that's my thoughts for the day and I should get going lol.

You are an innocent dater. You're either lacking in dating experience or have had a long serious relationship. Either way, there's still plenty of fish in the sea out there for you to sample!
Wow I once again haven't been updating as regularly as I'd hoped. Or planned. I dunno I sometimes seem to get bouts of not feeling like writing I guess.
Well last friday I had to work from 7:30am-3:30pm. Me and the other adult together had to take care of 5 kids, I usually watch the 3 and she looks after the other 2, and we took all of them to the "Touch the Universe" science gallery in the Museum of Man and Nature. MAN I hadn't been there in soo long! They changed it quite a bit. It now has a Mars exhibit and stuff. But fortunately it still has that awesome mirror room! The one where you have to put these really old weird slippers on to walk in, and inside it plays really melodic, weird, spacey, almost creepy-like music. It's still my most fav exhibit. Ok flashback alert:
One time when I was in grade 1 our teacher took us there for a field trip, and when I was in that room I wondered just how far out the room goes, so I waited till I was the only one in there, then stuck my arm (or leg) out under the railing as far as I could and ended up tripping the laser security alarm thingy. Well needless to say I got in trouble and had to sit in time-out the rest of the time.
Sheesh I was such a little trouble-maker. ANYWAYS, so it was fun. Then in the evening I went to the concert with Eleventy-seven, Seventh Day Slumber, KJ-52 and Superchic[k] with a bunch of friends. It was AWESOME! I saw Seventh Day for the first time, and KJ and Superchick for the second time. I partied like WOAH. Oh yeah and the mosh crowds were crazy fun. I swear I'm getting more bold each time I go in one. Well I'm still not yet one of those aggresive-crazy moshers, but yeah I still have fun. But I did get stepped on, jumped on, kicked, shoved , poked, and jabbed LOL. But that's actually nothing compared to my friend Ray who got a pulled hamstring and dislocated shoulder haha....good times. A couple people body-surfed. I so wanna do that. Someday.
Then saturday all afternoon I went wedding dress shopping with a friend. We had fun, and she's pretty sure she knows which one she wants now. This is my first time being a bride's maid too. Yay!
Then of course I went to 725 in the evening, and after a whole wack of us went out to the Tim Horton's/Wendy's on Fermor.
And that was pretty much my weekend. I'm going to apply for a second job where one of my friends works and told me they're hiring, where you basically get to look after special needs kids and stuff like that. I REALLYREALLY hope I get it. Anybody reading this, if you have ANY kind of belief in God, then PLEASE pray that I get it....pretty please?? If you do then thanks muchly!
Yup. All I can say is FINALLY. I've been looking forward to seeing it for quite some time now lol. I went with 3 of my good friends Dani Ashley and Andy. While we were waiting in the theatre there was this FLIPPIN' HILARIOUS commercial involving a conversation between a car and a crab on the beach. Me and Dani couldn't stop laughing each time they showed it lol. It's starts off the crab approaches the car and the car asks some question like has the crab seen the surfers or swimmers or something like that I can't really remember. And the crab is all like "Yes....I pinch." and then the car continues to say different things and the responses of the crab is like "I want to pinch."..."Maybe just a little pinch?"..."Why no pinch?"..."No pinch no pinch. No pinch". Man especially watching that when you're overtired just enhances the humour of it too. I think the first time it came on, me and Dani laughed for about 10 minutes straight afterwards. Anyways yeah the movie was AWESOME. It's definitely one of my new favs right up there with Lord of the Rings. Just....WOW. Aslan has always been my most fav character, but I also just adore Lucy and Tumnus! Lucy is the cutest ever and Georgie who plays her did such an awesome job on the role.
But anyways sorry I haven't updated in a while. I guess there's just been times when I did have the time to update but then I didn't feel like it. Meh I guess there's just times when I do feel like updating and times I don't so much lol. But yeah my Christmas was great, I had fun and even got to bless a friend while I was at it. The New Year's Party I went to was a blast and I have a whole wack of pics but I don't feel like posting them right now, I'll do it later lol. And then New Year's day in the morning at church they had a little celebration of their own with streamers flying everywhere and confetti and even indoor fireworks lol. It rocked my socks! Then I went with my friend Andy to see his new baby nephew that was born New Year's Eve, but before midnight so not quite a new year's baby. His parents named him Carter....he's so little! Aww I just adore babies! Then in the evening we went to Jon Buller's Hear the Music night event that was free admission at the old Walker Theatre. And Starfield played there too! WOW I had such a great time there and Starfield played my most fav song by them when they first came out, called Revolution, among other favs like Alive in this Moment and others. They also played a new song they had just recently written but never played anywhere yet, which is gonna be on the new album they've been working for like 2 months now. But yeah it was just so awesome.
So yeah that's all I can really think of for now I guess. Oh yeah I got some nice stuff for Christmas like the Sims 2 game for the pc along with the Sims 2 University expansion pack lol. I already made a sim of myself and found the free money cheat and moved myself into the biggest most expensive mansion with all the best furniture in one of the neighbourhoods haha. MAN if only real life could be like that eh?? Just to be able to go to a bank or something, enter in a cheat code and get tons of free money LOL. That would be fun but also crazy. Plus there's no telling what certain people in the world would use their money for if they had the ability to get unlimited free money whenever they wanted. I mean people who are greedy and/or evil and would use it to buy deadly weapons and other stuff that could hurt others and stuff like that. Meh who knows but just a thought.
And I REALLYREALLYREALLY loved Narnia!
As Lucy Pevensie, you may be quite timid and shy, but your heart is in the right place! You make sure you tell the truth, even if it results in embarrassment.
I also scored as Prince Rilian 2nd, Mr. Beaver 3rd, and Tumnus 4th. Jadis(the white witch/queen) I got last(duh) and Edmund 4th from the last lol. There was like over 20 results I think.
Anyways I think I'll cut this shorter since I have to get to some other things now too. Hope everyone's holidays were great!
Erm....for some reason I haven't been able to sleep right now cuz I've been feeling like I have some kind of stomache flu/virus or something....weird. Well it's been giving my stomache a weird feeling all evening and then it actually started to hurt....but I took a painkiller and prayed over it and now I think I can safely say that it's going away now I think. Well thaz good. Hehe maybe some ice cream will help lol.
Oooo and one of my friends, the one who I mentioned before in previous entries, who had been in the hospital with depression and attemtped suicide, but has been out for a while now, well she is finally starting to come around in her walk with God and I just couldn't be any more excited and proud of her! Wow God is good lol. AND get this she's even started to actually read that book by Joyce Meyer that I bought her! The one called "Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle in Your Mind"....well she's told me before that she wasn't much of a reader, so this is DEFINITELY awesome stuff! Well she's going to come with me later tonight to the Link at Calvary Temple! And she's been coming with me to our tuesday night bible study too.....saturday night though we had a breakthrough with her cuz after Jeremy's hockey game(after the 725 service) some of us went to hang out at Tim Horton's on Portage Ave till like 1:30am....and we were talking to her and telling her how much we care, how she's not ugly but beautiful, and smart, and stuff like that. Well Jer did most of the talking LOL.....and then he went to pray for her while we were there.....that guy. He can be so awesome when he isn't flirting with like every girl haha. And man the message last saturday night was such a gooder. It was mostly about your focus and dreams/visions and passions in life, etc. But yeah so it's been an awesome weekend!
And lately I've made some even more new friends in my life, which is awesome cuz yeah one of the guys I'm now friends with is so cool and we happen to have a lot in common, and we both like to act weird/joke around alot and stuff like that. He's mah brothah from a different mothah LOL. Well yeah he's just so easy to talk to on msn and in person and stuff so it's all good.
Well, I think I may try again to get some sleep now, cuz I'm actually feeling alot better....laterz all.
PS: I'm REALLY diggin' this song right now. Can't wait to get the actual cd!
Why do people have to be so judgemental?? Can anybody ever really comprehend this??
JUST becuz I like to act hyper and goofy alot and joke around(in an unharmful way), does NOT in any way mean that I am any of the following: immature, childish, annoying(that can only be based on someone's opinion and not actual fact), or that I'm not intelligent or that I don't think deeply and use wisdom when it comes to making the more important decisions in life.
Oh, I DO use wisdom and think deeply, I cannot stand superficiality and shallow judgemental people. I DO have layers upon layers of a personality that not everyone gets to see all the time. I may like to joke and goof off with my friends but that NEVER means that I can't be serious or use wisdom or that I don't enjoy having deep, intellectual, and even at times intense(but friendly) discussions with people. I know I am full of different sides and layers to me that I may or may not choose to show at any given time. Almost to the extent that I can even seem like a walking contradiction. One part is hyper and goofy/silly, being easily amused by the simplest things, another part altogether wise and deep, enjoying art and intellect and the finer things in life. And there is much more to me than anyone will EVER be able to see in this lifetime, for I know the ONLY one who can ever truly know me through and through is God, and not even I myself have figured out everything about myself.
See, I used to have a friend(who shall remain nameless, so don't think I'm talking about you or someone you may know), where we would hang out and even talked a couple times on the phone/msn/email, etc....and all of a sudden one day they just stopped talking to me and completely ignored me for NO reason at all! I mean they NEVER told me what their problem was, and even acted like a COMPLETE SNOB around me. Now how does that sound for a friend?? If you have a friend and something is affecting the relationship, then yes you DO OWE it to them to at least explain what! And since that person refused to talk to me I basically GAVE UP ON THEM. It's not that I didn't TRY to talk to them, cuz I even approached them myself and asked if we could talk, but I guess they got too chicken and basically made up some lame excuse and ran away leaving me absolutely stumped at how someone can behave this way. It's immature, period. Nothing I did could make them fess up to their problems or unreasonable behaviour, so I gave up thinking that if they still even wanted a relationship left, that THEY would from now on have to approach ME. I can't be doing all the work, becuz it has to be a two-way street. Well needless to say I do just happen to know now afterwards that "apparently" they had just shoved me away becuz they somehow thought that I myself and my jokes and goofiness was "immature"...even though they themselves acted the EXACT SAME WAY around me! We would joke in the SAME WAY. I mean seriously.......I'm annoyed cuz it's so hypocritical, and with friends like that who needs enemies. I mean I've tried to be nice, but hey I can't make anybody respond to me if they honestly don't want to, no matter how hard I try. Well I guess if they keep doing this then someday they're going to find out that they won't have many or any friends, cuz to HAVE a friend, you have to actually BE ONE.
And I just felt like they're judging me, cuz if they even knew the REAL me, they never would have come up with the idea that becuz they somehow view me as immature that they need to just coldly cut me off and give me the cold shoulder and have the audacity to believe that they don't owe me any explanation for their behaviour. At least I can admit when I'm wrong and make mistakes, I do admit that I've reacted to some people in a not-so-mature way and even acted immature in a given moment more than once, but that's all those are, just moments and human mistakes that I as a human being have the freedom to make. But I mean really JUST joking around with my friends that isn't even making fun of people or calling them down or harming them intentionally?? That hardly seems necessary for the way this person treated me. And I'm always careful to make sure the things I say aren't verbal attacks against another person or can be taken as such. SO YES I have a right to feel hurt and angry, I mean wouldn't you if it happened to you?? If I didn't then I would be some kind of emotionless robot almost. Or just unable to connect with my feelings.
I know for a fact that I'm intelligent and independent and that I have dreams and goals and visions for my life to go somewhere and do something with it. I am growing as a person every single day of my life and growing in my relationship with God, so why can't some people give me the freedom to be who I am and grow as I am and realize that I'm not stuck as a certain way for all my life. Or that if they have a problem with me acting hyper and goofy even though it's not hurting anybody then maybe they should take a look at themselves and ask themselves WHY it's such a problem for them when it isn't for me or most other people?? And come on, who DOESN'T want to have fun and live life with passion and excitement?? And with me it's always good clean fun, it's not like I go around making sexual jokes or putting people down in a mean way just for a laugh or something like that. That would be immature, unlike just simply being silly and talking in goofy accents or voices like I sometimes do, or thinking of the stupidest things to use as a joke such as just saying weird things, that may not even make sense to most people.
I'm just so sick and tired of being told I have to be a certain way just to be accepted by certain people, cuz with or without them God will ALWAYS accept and love me for who I am, no matter what I do....and it should be the same way for how others treat and see each other but I guess it can't be. I guess their own fears and inhibitions get in the way of them truly opening up their minds to new and different people and ideas and concepts, and trying to break off from what's considered "normal" by society. What does society know anyway, they're not God.
Well now that I've gotten that all out and off my chest and stuff, I'm gonna go have a goodnight's sleep. And I just want to say to all my real friends who have stuck by me through everything, you're truly awesome and I love you all.
confessions of a broken heart(daughter to father)~lindsay lo
]
Haven't really slept much a whole lot. Actually been thinking about my dad quite a bit this past week lately. I have him on my msn list and he's actually been coming online almost everyday for a few minutes, for the past few days now.....which he almost NEVER does.......wow he just signed in again as I was typing this. And I've been thinking about calling him up, or saying hello to him online......but he doesn't really talk on msn, and I dunno....he never says hello to me on msn either so yeah. This Christmas coming up will be the second Christmas since he's been back in my life. Ok well maybe I should explain....I was 7 years old when I was told I wasn't allowed to see him anymore(for my own protection of course), and from that year until just last year, there was 13 years of absolutely NO contact with him. Then last year my Opa passed away in June 2004, and since he was my dad's dad, naturally he was going to be at the funeral. And I knew my older brother was also gonna be there, but I almost seriously considered not going. I mean yeah I have forgiven him for all the things he did, for how he was, but I guess I just wasn't sure what to think or expect.
Well I did end up going, and we had our first talk in 13 years, and also exchanged cell phones and emails. And ever since then we've been kinda talkin on and off. It took me a while to actually phone him after the father's day service, but God told me to do it and even got a friend to tell me as well when I had told no one I was even thinking about it. But yeah....sometimes we've gone out for lunch to chat a bit, and even this last summer in July he had invited me to spend the weekend with him and shirley(my stepmom), and my older siblings from Calgary, and Aunt and Uncle from Ontario, up at our family cottage by hillside beach. Man I hadn't been at that old cottage since I was around 7.....what a nostalgic feeling it was. Anyways I think since that weekend I haven't talked to him since. It's mostly been like that, we'll talk and see each other little, then for a few weeks or months we won't talk at all. But at least it's something I guess, it's a start. And in all honesty, I wouldn't have been able to start over with him like this if it wasn't for how far God has brought me in having to forgive him.
I've truly come such a long way from where I used to be. In the past when I was growing up, I had come to feel so much anger and hatred towards him for all the things he had done, all the hurt he had caused my family and me. I won't go into the details of what he did. For years it grew into a bitter grudge. But then after deciding to give my heart to God, and then really trying to live for Him, He slowly and carefully worked on me through the years to bring me to the point where I would be ready to have my dad back in my life, and actually be able to talk to him, see him, and just be in the same room with him without feeling that anger, hatred, hurt, and wanting to get back at him. And for me it was truly a miracle. I believe that God waited until I was truly ready to handle it before giving an oppourtunity for us to meet again.....not the funeral itself of course, but actually getting invited to attend my Opa's funeral, who I also hadn't been in contact with. But after getting the invite, I still wasn't even sure myself if I was ready, I was nervous and fearful over the initial meeting and wondering what it would be like. Or what I would think. Or what he would think. God obviously knew I was finally ready though. And I had my Christian brothers and sisters praying for me too. But it actually wasn't bad, and I felt that God had even nudged me to invite him out to the father's day service at Springs the following sunday, which I did, and he came too. I am really grateful to all my Christian friends who had prayed for me, that meeting him would go well.
So yeah, we've been seeing each other for over a year, every once in a while. Sometimes I call him up, sometimes he calls me up. But seeing as how we haven't talked since last July and he hasn't called my cell, I guess I'm the one that needs to call him. And recently I've felt like God has put it on my heart to call him, even though I would much rather that he call me. With this Christmas coming up, I've been thinking of what to get him too.....last Christmas I just gave him a card, and maybe that'll be all again for this year cuz I honestly have no clue what to get for him.....I don't know him well enough to know these things....gee, a tie?? But that seems a little too stereotypical. *sigh* Well maybe just a card again this time. God has been so good to me though so I'm glad, He's so awesome.
You know there's just nothing like a song that can relate to what you're feeling, even if you can't put it into words yourself, and maybe not all of the words of that song quite fit you exactly, but the main idea and/or most of the words fit you. Well there's this song I just heard and saw the music video for the first time last tuesday night, when a friend at my house had turned the tv channel to a music station, and for some reason it just touched me so much and made me cry to hear it I guess. So now I've kinda been listening to it quite a bit. It's the new one by Lindsay Lohan I believe, and even though I'm not really a fan of her I just really happened to like this song...... ( Confessions Of A Broken Heart.... )
Wow what a crazy night last night. At 725 it was cowboy/cowgirl dressup night. THEY HAD A PONY!!!!!!!!! nobvgfdjiptkeolkmfifjgmltrelrpwso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then after me, Dani, Crystal, Serena, and Travis all went to hang out at Applebees on regent ave. Turns out like HALF OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE SERVICE SHOWED UP THERE TOO. Wow oh wow what a night lol. I need not say more other than it was pretty craz-ay. Much fun was had. Or something. Hey if you wanna know the details go read Dani's journal then.
Spent the night at Dani's BUT GOT VIRTUALLY NO SLEEP then went with her to the 9am service to watch her sing in choir and stuff. Came home, watched The Day After Tomorrow and talked on msn. And that's it so far. My brain feels fuzzy....need sleeeeeeeeeeepp. Can't...think...straight...anymore. Why is it that whenever you try to get some sleep the thoughts in your head become louder and more frequent?!?!?!
Oh yeah and last friday was Dani's first time volunteering at NURV! It was great! nhjfksdjigfr!!!!!! MEEP.
Last saturday I went bowling with some friends; Crystal P, Aaron, Mike, and Chris. Lost big time the first round (Woohoo!) then *almost* won the second. Just barely, by like 3 points lol. Worked sunday. Monday had another autism training class thingy for my job, so that they can have me look after any autistic kids they might have.
Ran into a friend outside the blood donour clinic just after I got off my bus to go to the class at the Health Sciences Centre. She volunteers in the canteen part and hands out snacks and drinks to all the donours, so that's how we met. I used to go donate blood ALL the time, like every 56 days I'd go, but lately I've been kind of not doing that. So I haven't seen her in a while. But I miss going down there to donate, so I think I'll go this next monday, and start going regularly again. Plus now she's expecting me this monday since I said I'd go lol. Hmm.....I think so far my number of donations is around 10 or 11 now. And the crazy thing is I hate needles. But I like donating for some reason. o.0
Well maybe I'm just a walking contradiction sometimes. I dunno, who cares. Actually the needle in the arm isn't even the worst part, the worst is when they prick your finger to test for iron levels in your blood. That actually hurts more....and after a few times you get so used to the needle being put in your arm that it starts to not hurt as much....or sometimes the nurse is also good at putting it in in such a way that it doesn't hurt too. Meh.
I almost forgot about something me and my friend Ashley were gonna do this friday afternoon lol. But don't worry Ash, I just remembered earlier haha. Wow the days fly by, cuz I didn't realize that the 18th was THIS friday. Ooooo that means Christmas is coming up soon! Yay! My most favourite holiday/time of the year. I LOVE Christmas music and holiday cheer, there's just something so magical about it. Or, er, well there's *something* about it anyways.....what they refer to as that "Christmas spirit"....well whatever that feeling is, I love getting that feeling every year when this season comes around......I hope they celebrate Christmas in Heaven lol. ;) That would kick butt. Yup.
Well, I should start getting ready for tonight's service. And yay for our first "official" snow fall this year. I already slipped on a patch of ice once since it fell monday haha. Nice.
Wow, it's so pretty outside!! It was snowing almost all day yesterday. And I had to go out in it. But because of the weather, bible study tonight was cancelled. :( Booooo. And IF I had a digi-cam, I would have totally taken pics and posted them by now. But I don't have one *yet*, or I could have saved one from the community winnipegphoto and posted it on my journal, but then that probably would have been wrong or something, so I posted the link to see pretty snow pictures instead.
+And I'll write more of an actual update later when I have more time, since I'm going to take my lovable black lab Emma out to play in the newly freshly snow!!
People see happiness in your eyes! You are most likely a really awesome person who trys to enjoy life. You can usually see the good in any situation or person. You bring joy wherever you go in life and probably have a really good set of friends. But sometimes you may strive too hard to be happy and may try to fool yourself and others. In this case, it's not good to hold in your feelings, and you should try to find someone to talk to about what's bothering you instead of covering it up. But, all in all you usually get over these situations quickly and can continue living life to its fullest! Go you! ^_^
Good Traits: You gravitate towards people, and are a shoulder to lean on. You give advice at any given time.
Bad Traits: You aren't close with any one person. You immerse yourself in other people's problems and forget your own.
People see you as: Friendly, secretive, and popular. People envy you, and may try and use you as a tool
You're most like: Grace. You both have positive relationships with people. Neither of you have close friends, but unlike graceful people, you try to help people out and aren't as arrogant.
You need more: Solitude. You hardly get the chance to breathe when you take on the world's problems. You can't take other's responsibilities or put them before your own. Be selfish once in a while and discover who you really are.
Laid Back---Your handwriting seems to be more flowing and graceful. This means that you are pretty laid back and carefree most of the time. The fact that your handwriting can be so quickly written and sometimes messy is not a bad thing, because it means that you want to hurry and do what you are doing to get one with the better things in life. You are liked by most, and any enemies you may have are caused by jelousy towards you of people who envy your happy-go-lucky outlook on life.
Oh yeah and that picture doesnt have anything to do with you, I just couldnt find a good one. Sorry.
