I awoke this morning hearing the reason why when I'm married I will not be living in an apartment. Thank you people upstairs, for that.

Aaanyway, we went to the corn maze yesterday, which was of course awesome. Did we do the scavenger hunt without cheating? Heck no! Did we get out of the maze without cheating? Double heck no! But we tried. For half an hour. Just to get out without cheating. The haunted forest...well, let's just say that...when you're in a group of adults, you will get laughed at, a lot, for screaming.

grrr, baby, very grrr

So, apparently, I've been growling in my sleep. I can see that being as scary as someone sleepwalking. And I finally understand why it's so hilarious to Marce when we tell her she sleepwalks. I mean, I'm not there! It's hilarious!!

I went to the ballet on Thursday night, it was Dracula...holy cow it was amazing. I've never really gone to anything like that before...so beautiful.

I thought my cell phone was vibrating, but it turned out to be a neighbor snoring, very loudly.

So I was thinking, as I occasionally do, that it's pretty easy to go through life holding opinions that are contrary to nobody. It's very...easy to just be safe, just eliminate potential dissonance between you and other people if you just start to think like them. People make you feel that, if you don't have the same opinions as them, something's wrong with you, you don't care about the condition of the world or the people in it. The world doesn't look down on you if have opinions that everyone can agree on. If you never take a stand for anything, you'll get along just fine.

AAAnyway, I'm just seriously pumped right now for going on an exchange with school. Who knows what'll happen, but the thought of getting out of here and this is just a bit much.

corn chips are no place for a mighty warrior!

I haven't had a lot to say lately. Pretty much because all I've been thinking about lately is school. Terrible waste when you think of it.

Okaaaay, so I'm a dork and I made one of those quizzes...again. It must be like my third or fourth ever, but...we don't have cable right now. So it's kinda quiet around here...strange since we've had cable for less than a week.

You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek

Sometimes (like, now) I forget the meaning of these words. Sometimes (like, always) I forget that I'm weak for a reason. Or rather, I don't like to be weak or vulnerable. And, honestly, I've forgotten what it's like. I've had the worst year of my life. Technically, also the first year of living (away from home, doing stuff on my own) but still, it has not been kind to me. *sigh* I need to start over. I can't take back the things I've done...but, I can keep moving.

The question I never like to ask: 'Hey, have you seen my Bible?' Inevitably though, it's asked. Whether verbally or mentally, every Sunday and Wednesday. Then, at these places, I open it and see highlighting and underlining and notes. Sometimes wondering how and why they're there.

My mind is tending to not focus these days. Which is probably bad. I think I have a couple of hours of clairity everyday, for classes and homework and stuff, but not much leftover for general thinking. I think a lot off-topically during class though, strangely. Like, how I've always wanted to be a writer, but have always done so poorly in English (papers, anyway) that I never wanted to try for fear of crushing my hopes. That's what I think during Intro to Communications. During Mang. Accounting, I think either...wow I'd make the worst accountant or wow I'd be an awesome accountant. During Stats, I think a lot about nothing...and during Computer usage (computer useless) I think...why didn't I skip this class and I read a book, as he teaches us to...center text in Word. I do like writing though.

This weekend is Thanksgiving. Soon are midterms. Oh yeah, Happy second Birthday, Blog. and, happy first year of my ownership, Sunchicken.

Wait, whose idea was this again?

Right, so why am I at university exactly? I know why I'm studying what I'm studying, and not for the best of reasons either. Now I feel like I'm just taking up space in the faculty, when someone who really really wanted to get in could have. Anyway...why didn't I have the good sense to come into the city for church this morning??? Now Marce will never let me live it down. Argh. Just got back from Winkler, and going there again shortly. Fun times.

what a wonderful freakin world

So, seeing that Bowling for Columbine was on TV, I was like, oh great, now I can see it too ( cuz marce and annie watched it this weekend)...and now...it's 2 AM and i want to fix the world but i can't cuz it's 2 AM and should be sleeping. Movies like that make we wish that I could just leave (i know, leaving Canada, big deal) and wander the world and figure this all out and find the answer some where and bring it back to people and they'd be happy, but they wouldn't cuz they wouldn't listen anyway. Cuz i'd probably find out that they shouldn't eat mcdonalds or shouldn't shop at walmart or something crazy like that and who would really give that up, man. I mean, cheap food and cheap...stuff. i didn't even know that fricken walmart sold gun stuff. man. now i don't know what to do. kinda makes me want to vote NDP, get dreads and dress funny. ah, it'll pass....going to church tomorrow.
