I know I talked to you about this a little, but.....yeah. I don't see why interracial dating would be a problem at all. If people harass you about it, is that going to stop you from following your feelings? If it does, then your feelings must not be that strong....Is that what you were asking? If it would be okay to date someone of another race? Let me know.
I have a crush on this chica who is of Asian decent. I really like her, she is so cute and funny. I just want to give her a big hug. She is a foreign exchange student. (yeah that gave it away)
Anyways, in about 2 months, I want to ask her out but as my sister is being harrased with going out with someone of a different race, I'm left with struggle myself.
I have always prided myself of one attribute or characteristic..........I have been always blinded by this crap..........now........I don't know.
Hey, where's my congratulations for getting into Madison, HUH?! WHERE?! Musical week + English midterm + stupid unmoveable Spanish teacher + Jackie = WHEEEEEEEE And Carrie, I'm so sorry, but I totally forgot about the bulletin, again. You must hate me. And I'm not going to try and...make up excuses, it's just that I was at school from 12 'til 8:30 on Sunday, and then I went to Kristy's to study English and then came home and was up until 1 studying crap.....and I totally forgot about the bulletin, I'm sorry. 'Kay. I'm making myself go to bed now! Who cares about homework or big huge, impending tests? NOT ME! Not me.
You want us to share how we talk to God? Well, I must admit that I don't consciously sit down and pray very often, which is something I need to try to work on. I guess the way that I keep my faith alive is the way I interact with other people. I try to be someone that people know they can confide in if they have to. Sometimes it sucks, because obviously I have my own problems, but I actually find that it's much easier to understand yourself if you can help other people understand their own selves. Sometimes you feel powerless because in some situations there's nothing you can do or say to make someone feel better, but you'd be surprised how much it means to people to have someone to listen to. I guess I'm like that too, though - I never realize how much I appreciate people listening to me until the times when I feel like nobody is. So, I'm not sure if that's what you wanted Ryan, but that's how I try to keep my faith alive. I think that being a good friend, or at least a good person to people I'm not really friends with, is the most important thing I can do. In the end, grades or extra-curricular activities don't matter - but the effect you have on people does. That's my two cents, ;)
Oh, and about the banner being gone right now....apparently I can only have so many views of my images per month because the website that hosts my images is free. Because my blog gets about 100 hits a day, I guess I've exceeded the limit for my account. But I think I'm going to try and buy my own domain (which is like my own .net or .com) and then we won't have to worry about it any more! Unfortunately, this probably won't happen until after musical unless I have time this weekend.
Today I was reading Jakes blog and I astonished in his beliefs. I just looked at it and smiled with a sigh that there is hope in the world. I left a comment asking him to go into more detail about how to talk to God and how do you have God talk to you.
I feel that my relationship with God had died once again and I am trying to do good things. Being nicer to people, volunteering my time, and even taking the bus instead of the car. I try to live his ways but it is so difficult without the big guy. I know he's there......i could swear I could feel his prescence at all of the trips I went on this summer (except Reality Check group activities minus the service to people). I really miss that feeling and high. However after I went to the matrix and saw the matrix and went to Youth Lit, I felt that strange feeling again. It was like being wrapped with joy like a blanket of all power.
Yet, I know it will be destroyed by something I do later on this week and it happens when you least expect it.
I would like to hear all of you share how you talk with the big guy so I can grow in my belief. I don't want it to die.
Carrie, Jackie, Jennifer, Tom, Lindsey, Jennifer (Ym) , Andy, Sarah.......Share!
Carrie, if you're a bad mother, then I'm bad at English. If your kids ever tell you that you "wrecked their childhoods", you tell them to talk to us, and well tell 'em somethin' 'bout somethin'!
I would never say my parents are bad and I can see why I'm frustrating. But you know I hate when people just snap at you when you're trying. It's a huge turn off. Oh well. Parents will be parents and I luv them.
I have a lot of personal demons in me that need to be destroyed. I'm such an old bag sometimes becasue I gossip all the time. That's something I need to work on. At work and with a lot of women, we gossip all the time. I hate when I do it. That's going to be something I'll work on this month.
I often wonder that myself considering my dad said today....
"There's no way getting around it..........You're an a#$ hole."
Hooray!!! I'm an a#$ hole.
I have such a positive family.
The funny thing is that they're just P'd off because I'm cutting the leash.
Example: Instead of taking the car I ride Metro. ETC. Not coming home after school and going to the library. Living in the basement. Getting up at 4 to care for the dogs then leaving to the metro at 6:30.
They hate it. Well, good for them because I can't wait until I can move out because they get pissed off if I do anything.
I have a question about the 'Honor thy Father and Mother' rule....because sometimes that's incredibly hard. When your father has absolutely no respect for you and yells at you and swears at you, it becomes quite difficult to respect him. And sometimes I feel rather strong feelings of hatred.....and I know that's wrong, but it's just....I don't know. No one has the right to treat me like that, and just because the man happens to be my father, it doesn't give him special rights to be malicious.
It's really hard to keep going, sometimes. I've been having this problem a lot lately because sometimes it just feels like your whole world is falling apart all around you and you're just standing there, powerless to do anything to stop it. Bah. I really need to work on praying more. Ryan, I know what you mean about being confirmed...but I don't think being confirmed means that you suddenly know how to find God. It just means that you agreed that you're going to try. So if it's hard sometimes, that's okay. But just keep trying new things. There's a link on the sidebar that I put there called "Prayer", and I haven't gone through the whole site, but I know it teaches a vast amount of stuff about different types of prayer....sometimes knowledge is a good way to get closer to God.
I just love how I can be so obsessed with blogs and other days when I can't stand being around them. Well, I'm back on with the High on blogs. Andy got to see the divinci code special and enjoyed it. Sigh......
Why is it that since I've been confirmed I don't feel any different. I've been praying for God and his guidance but now it seems like he is deader then dead. EHHH what's new. He never shows up when you WANT him too.
I have a prayer request.
There is a friend of mine who is going through next level crap with an abusive father. Pray for that justice will be served in the courts.
The end
Good night.
JENNIFER!!! WHERE ARE YOU?! I suppose I should e-mail you.
Carrie: I was hyped for the quest this week. sigh. Yeah I know it wasn't your fault.
Ryan, you have such a.....precise way of sharing your feelings. Hehe. So, I know most of you won't read this before the mass, but I just wanted to say good luck to all of us who are getting Confirmed. Even if most of the people we're getting confirmed with don't know what the heck is going on...we do. And we're going to make a difference somehow. So go us.
And...pray for New Life if you get this, because we still don't know if we're singing or not! ;_;
Ok, this is my final project in order to become a Catholic and confirm that I will follow 2000 years of the past.
I'm creating a "secret Society" that is meant to be clear cut and true. The purpose is to keep us living the catholic lifestyle because that is what Catholicism is.............A lifestyle.
I know this blog serves this purpose for us but I think others should experiance as well. Feel Free to join ho's
