Stupid Internet Fads...

by far the dumbest thing that has ever happened to the Internet are Myspace/Facebook pictures where girls (and some guys) are "throwing up a peace sign" and making the "kissy" face. like it might have been cute or original at some point, but it's not anymore, that stupid pose is everywhere! sometimes people think its trendy to make the picture black and white, sometimes sepia if they are feeling really crazy...oh and did i forget to add that over sized sunglasses are optional in these pictures as well. move on kids, it's seriously lame... just to demonstrate my point here are a collection of "kissy faced peace sign" picture's from people of all shapes and sizes...

Rodents: The Other White Meat

So i'm pretty sure that Malone's Cafeteria is feeding us road kill to save money. Angela had some chicken the other day and it was the nastiest crap ever (she still ate it because if you know angela, the starving kids make her feel guilty). anyway this "chicken" was also really really little, like there is no way that is the leg or wing of a chicken. i'm pretty sure it was a squirrel...sick.

He's Awesome

okay so the other day John let me put a hanger on his head, i really don't know why he puts up with me at all. i have a wonderful boyfriend...oh yeah then he pretended to be a Native American...go figure

International House of Creepsters!

okay so we go to ihop like every weekend at least twice, most of the staff know all of us by name which is cool, but i just started to realize, all of us probably come across as really creepy. i don't know why but the combination of pancakes, sleep deprivation, and a friday night/morning just seems to bring out the weirdness in us all.

Fruit Punch In The Morning...Kinda

okay, so when Me, Amanda, and Angela woke up (at like 1:00), we were all really hungry/thirsty, so we walked down the hall and made our breakfast of pop tarts, easy mac, and chicken noodle soup with stars, and then Angela remembered that she had a gift from her parents that she could put to good use, a big pitcher. since Amanda wanted something fruity we decided we could make some fruit punch. so we poured the powder in, then emptied our cold water bottles (because we wanted to drink it right away and wanted it to be really cold and extra refreshing) into the pitcher. then disaster struck, we had no stirring utensil large enough! well long story short we ended up using our (unused) vacuum cleaner attachment! (pictured to the right is Amanda stirring the fruit punch, and below is a picture of us all enjoying our breakfast!)

Erin's Stuff

okay so i have this friend on my floor Erin, and i love her a whole lot. and i guess she loves me and Amanda a lot too because not only is she like always in our room (which don't get me wrong, i love it) but she always leaves her stuff everywhere too! at first it was kind of annoying but now it has become this huge joke! i guess the old saying is true, if people forget their things with you it just means they want to come back! :)

New years resolutions/giving God my everything

OK so last night we went to celebration and we had this amazing sermon about putting God first/getting rid of all of the things in your life that hold you back from doing so. afterward and during i felt so convicted about some of the things I've been doing/saying that aren't glorifying God. stuff that i know is wrong but i keep doing anyway. Cory (our speaker) challenged us to pick three things that are holding us back and get rid of them. Here are my three:
1. Swearing (i don't do this all the time, but it's still a problem)
2. Making "that's what she said" jokes
3. Listening to music that isn't beneficial to my walk with Christ.
the first two are self explanatory the third is killing me. as i scroll through my iTunes library i feel so reluctant to start deleting...its just that i love music, it's my passion, it's the gift that gives me the most joy ever. also i paid for most of my music so i feel like I'm flushing my money down the toilet...but i know that i probably shouldn't have bought it in the first place.

i also had some really cool God experiences last night, i finally was able to forgive myself for past mistakes and accept the grace God's been giving me all along. that was cool. also I'm finding that as i read my bible more, I'm starting to hard core fall in love with Jesus again. i felt kinda numb before, like stagnant in my faith. last night God outlined me again. i needed it really bad.

well that's all for now.
