feist-y

goal for this year:
read the Bible at least once every day
without compromise. no matter how tired
or how stressed or how busy i am,
i will pick up the Word and read it!
this means that if i stay up to do work
in which i see no end, i will at least
reserve the time between 11:30-12:00
to simply spend time with God.
of course, i am not saying that i
will put Him off for the rest of the day.
in fact, i don't think i even could
if i wanted to- and that's a good thing.
after all, building a relationship
with God is what i live for!

spin

yes, i like songs that build up.
i also like stories that build up.
stories, to me, include dramas.
punch lines can be the result of a build up,
but sometimes, jokes should be shorter.
i guess, for me, i like to experience
the entirety of a song to the most minute emotion.
whether the song starts off slow,
then speeds up and forms an upbeat mood;
or starts off soft, then rises in volume
to draw my attention to every note,
i like to simply soak it all in.
from start to finish, i want it all
(that is why i hardly ever skip a song).
perhaps it is my unnecessary courtesy
for the artist or director or playwright
that keeps me watching and listening
...waiting patiently for communication.

i feel like i'm going to die.
chocolate is to be enjoyed...
not engulfed.

putt...hot....

next time, we're going bowling
...or at least somewhere with ac.
although we may have our differences,
i feel blessed to have school friends.
finally, we have classes together...
in senior year.

david may cry

i cried.
it was quite possibly the most bizarre experience i've ever had. not that i cried- because i cry all the time- but rather that i was completely happy and content when i did. my mind and my heart both knew what was going on and yet my body acted on its own, bursting into tears. i could not comprehend how such an involuntary flow of tears without any motive or incentive was possible so i naturally laughed...while i was weeping like a poor defenseless child. i am glad now that it brought smiles to the faces of my brother and mother as they watched me rolling on the floor during my crying-laughing breakdown. God, you are funny and i love you.

"john moments"- frisbee moment, breadstick moment, ninja-gated-community moment, roleplaying moment

"john quotes"- rain can't stop love; oh, i have the esv version so that's different from the niv...duh; you're special too...except when you clap your hands like a seal...you're not special, you're just weird; your mind goes in circles- well, i don't know what shape your mind goes in...; hi uh...don't say 'uh' fine! hi CONFIDENCE!!!

i suppose i've acted quite silly my entire life.
