So I had a weird dream last night/this morning:
I'm in a van & someone tells me we're going to go see 'the ostrich' I nod in response, knowing well who the ostrich is. We pull up into the fenced-in front yard of a house & someone from The Godfather walks out, wearing clericals. He says something to me, but I'm waiting for the Struthio camelus to appear. He does & says to me 'What happened to your mug?' referring to my face. 'What do you mean?' 'Have you always been this ugly?' 'Well, I used to be cuter...when I was about four' [sarcastic:] 'Well, I bet you looked great when you were six or seven?' 'You should know--that's the last time you saw me' He walked back to the house, then two of my cousins came out & got in the van. I asked them if they wanted to come with me, but they said they rather stay there.
Ironically, I'm feeling kind of pretty today. Silly ostrich.
I know I haven't written in a while, which does indeed annoy me. I've got lots to write about & I miss writing. I'll get time on Saturday--Greg's got the ACT & an FSU game in Tallahassee, so I'm going to be at home on my computer/reading most of the time...hopefully. I desperately need some down-time. I've been going going going so much lately, it's taking more of a toll on me than you'd know. It really is.
I'm going to start wearing glasses again...for completely vain, girlish reasons. I hate you. [har]
I got a membership at Hollywood Video last Friday at midnight [after going to Whataburger at 11am with Greg for breakfast food...yum...biscuits] We rented The Exorcist & The Dead Poets Society [we intend to watch the latter tonight] Then yesterday we went to the library & I got Exorcist: The Beginning [as recommended by Fr. Nathan], Jarhead, Constantine & The Bachelor & The Bobbysoxer [hilarious Cary Grant/Shirley Temple...no joke] I love movies.
Okay. Now I guess I'll paste what I wrote on the blog comment:
I hate hate hate being told what to do/how to do it.
It's actually pretty bad for me, too. The problem is if I let it continue on, that will eventually affect how I interact with others--especially my future-husband. We are called to submit, which doesn't mean being run-over, but we have to be willing to put aside our own silly inclinations. This is something I'm trying to work on now, just like you, so it won't be nearly as difficult to deal with then.
Do you see how this all correlates with submission to God as well? It's the problem of human existence--we WANT to be God. It's unavoidable. Thus, we hate being told what to do, some of us more than others, because we feel it overrides our own desires. I could go on, but you see where I would go. It makes sense for us, especially as females, to be tempted away from submission, what we ultimately are to do in marriage. He's good, I tell you.
Apparently, some form of it has been going around in my English Comp I class. Don't ask me why that's really all that significant.
Greg WON chaplaincy!
The video got YouTube honors: it was #64 linked video yesterday & #45 today. You can see that all of my promotion [on three MySpace accounts: my own, his personal one & the campaign one], spanning 11am-11pm yesterday, paid off. [I went bulletin-crazy on MySpace with rather amusing text...if you don't have a MySpace then I guess you will be underprivileged...har]
His speech was kicking-rad too. He read it to me while I made campaign posters at 1am-2am on Thursday morning in my kitchen. Yay.
I'm so proud of him. He wanted this so much. He's going to do very very well. I told him this calls for tequila. [har]
Other than all of that madness, the new church building is progressing well. We officially start using it Sunday. For that I am glad. Greg & I might be going to go help out tomorrow. If you want to help, let us know & we'll see if anything is going on.
School is going well. I have a weekly 'response paper' for my Eng Comp class in which I get to rant [the class is about music & culture] so that class is quickly becoming my favorite class [though I anticipate Writing for TV/Film/Radio will tie--we've only had one class since it's a Monday class & this week was Labor Day, but next week, we're being assigned partners & are going to start writing a TV script--sounds fun]
That's about it. I'm going to go update all the MySpaces now.
His speech was today, elections tomorrow & our hilarious video was made last night. We worked on it until 2:30am today.
You should be privy to the information that he also has a campaign profile on MySpace!
It has exclusive information...especially for this video of previously-unreleased footage.
Attn: Two head injuries were sustained during the creation of this enormously hysterical video. My cousin Victoria & I received bruises from various plastic toys. Our pain has been woven into this campaign. Just thought you should know. [har]
