Haircuts and Acne

Check out my new hair... Much better suited to summer.

For the Purpose of Displaying the Inanity of My Convos

They're pretty inane. Here is a slightly edited version of one such.
Here you may also see that I use big words even in the context of casual IM conversations.

Freedom: I don't know if you've heard... a common side effect of sunburns are rampant silliness at awkward and otherwise inconvenient moments...
Beware the powers of the sunburns
That's my excuse and I plan on using it a lot

i.am.a.fox: I must have a perpetual, invisible sunburn

Freedom: I think you have mental sunburn

i.am.a.fox: I believe it

Freedom: It's a usual trait in computer users... they step outside and their brain isn't used to such brightness outside of an LCD, so it fries

i.am.a.fox: thus creating social awkwardness

Freedom: Exactly

i.am.a.fox: or in my case, mild popularity XD

Freedom: XD
Exactly right
Likewise for myself
^_^

i.am.a.fox: "That Fox, he is so crazy."
"That Freedom, she is such a cat."

Freedom: "Must have that mental sunburn..." "Oh, aye, heard that's been going around."
Of course it's totally not contagious, but every affliction must be catching in casual conversation, so that it can be spoken of
Otherwise people would forget which illnesses are catching and which aren't, creating seriously damaged verbal interplay

i.am.a.fox: I like that word
Interplay

Freedom: "Doesn't Jane have breast cancer now?" "Oh yes, I heard George accidentally gave it to her."

i.am.a.fox: XD

I Have a Confession

I've been thinking. Terrible, I know... probably going to hell for it. Anyways.

Lately I've been asking God to prepare me for a husband. I've got a couple of guys I know who are amazing, and while I don't seriously think (just dream) that either will eventually be mine, I have prayed for God to make me worthy of such men one day. All I've wanted for a while has been the chance to make a man happy.

Then today I read I Corinthians 7. I first began to read it because verse 4 caught my eye: "The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife." I had just read this passage in this text, which I linked to in my last post. But then I read the verse in the context of the rest of the chapter.

What Paul essentially writes in this chapter is that being single will best serve God, because then one won't have to concentrate on world and spouse responsibilities. If one is already married, then definitely stay married (and he says a bit about marriage). Then Paul repeats that being single is a gift from God, even as marriage is. He doesn't dis on marriage at all, merely points out that marriage will cause a bit of a relational strain between the one and God. This only makes sense.

So I can't help but wonder. Have I been praying for the right thing? I don't think I should be asking to be prepared for marriage... I should be asking to get closer to God. And don't I need to do that anyways, before marriage?

At least this way, if and when God gives me a husband, I will treat it as the gift it is, rather than with the impatience of something that has been due me.

Know Everything About Sex?

I don't think you do.

Simplicity In Technology

This is my entire Humanities presentation. Beautiful, no?

Le Fleurs

Spring has sprung... Along with the Princess Bride.

"The SOD has spoken!!" ;P

New Toys

We switched our cell phones from Verizon to Cingular. So I went from my Samsung SCH-A950 to a Samsung SGH-A707, which is "much more better" (in the words of our favorite captain).
Also, while I was there, I bought this wireless headset, which I find practically indispensable. It is absolutely beautiful, and the fact that it's Bluetooth means it was made for Freedom. ;)

I Believe I Need Some Alone Time

"Passion is inversely proportional to the amount of real information available." - Gregory Benford

While not applying to romance, this describes my Humanities class utterly and completely.

*sigh* Can I just leave the world and go off with God for a couple of years? I'm a bit fed up with the rest of humanity at the moment. Researching abortion for a grand school report does not improve my sentiments on my fellow man, either. I could do a half-decent job by my opinions and likely still get an A from public school teachers.

I'm so tired. Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually exhausted. I want to curl up and rest in the arms of my God.

*sigh*

I Love Thursday Nights

Mom is usually up cooking tasty stuff for her cooking class, which she teaches Friday mornings. Right now the house smells like yellow cake - the really, really good homemade kind.

I don't smell too badly, either... this helps.

I despise Maya food bars. They're disgusting. I much prefer Clif bars, which are quite yummy.

Just Killing Time

I kill it. I kill it DEAD.

And I rented both Good Burger and King Kong to watch later... but I forgot to rent Sky High.

The first one is for laughs, the second one for Adrian Brody, because I <3 him. Because, um, he's a great actor, of course. The third one because I just like it.

I'm very, very tired of the Disney channel. Or any television at all, for that matter. I find it an entirely disposable medium... except for the show Heroes. Which I can get online, so it's still disposable.
Can I just be tired of life in general? Because that's how I feel.

Maybe I should go eat something.

In Vancouver

^ That's Janae, the girl that I'm staying with.

We went to the Farmer's Market here. I LOVE farmer's markets. *happiness!*

Bookstore Stop

You know, this company reminds me a little of NotW. Which I happen to like way better, anyway.

Drawing Class Assignment

We're supposed to draw a flower with something hidden in the center. I chose an orchid.
