Someone stinks.
I'm sitting here stuck in my friend's office and someone walked by and we think they let it rip.

I'm busy with too much stuff right now, but I'm also bored and waiting for responses in a lot of areas of my life. I'm praying for patience.

Hey. I have a secret. I attended mass for the very first time in my life this morning. Just to try it out. I was just curious, and I wanted a prayer service of some kind to wake me up from my dead sleep LOL. I know I'm still very Presbyterian so no I didn't partake in Holy Communion/the Eucharist sacrament, but I just was curious what my local parish and the father there was like. It was really neat, small little group of ppl, we prayed the used the "Massilette" (sp). It was interesting. I learned some things. I may go back next wk, since I won't have time to try it again the rest of this wk.

My friends both named Annie ROCK! I just wanted to say that. We hadn't gotten a chance to talk in a while, and so we were like, "Yo, is this awkward? Where you been all my life?" and now we're having fun chillin. Last night I talked to my other gal A., and she is the most uplifting person, every time, she listens to me gripe or vent or whatever and I sent her an e-card b/c she is one of my most favoritest people.

I lost a friend recently, as in "exfriend who turned into a witch" not as in, death and grief and those kind of painful things. So it helps to surround myself with supportive true encouraging lasting friends. And it is really cool that God brought into my life all these new friends or old friends who I thought I'd lost touch with now they're suddenly back in my life when I needed them most. Soon one of my married friends will graduate with her masters so then we can finally hang and have girl time like we used to.

it's all good. The other night I watched "freedom Writers" oh so good I almost cried. I remember thinking we would get stoned if we drove near L.A. (during the riots).
Memorial Day we went and saw Pirates 3, and boy was it great. Lotsa fun. And you must stay through to the end of the credits to see the real ending.

Ok I shall leave you now and go back to my busyness.

environment?

I used to think I was so open-minded. Mind you, I actually boasted in my open-mindedness. I thought I was tolerant, loving, kind, generous, and big hearted. I really believed I was very accepting of many types of different people and things, and loved to learn about a majority of unusual cultures or belief systems and worldviews.

Well, "God isn't finished with me yet." I have so much to learn! Lately I am finally waking up to how we should be good stewards and take care of our green earth, God's gift to mankind. I enjoyed scenery and felt closer to God out in naturistic creation, but I thought "Oh, come on, God made us to rule over the earth and so who cares what happens?" but in California we all recycled and saved water. Fast forward to South Carolina, where we lived near a crowded cramped stinky landfill. Finally at 25 yo, I am just now picking up on the fact that my narrowminded views need patience and a lot of room to grow, and I definitely enjoy change and I work so hard at bettering myself, so what's my problem?

My new church is trying to get more environmentally friendly. Not because of the trend but because we should all do so anyway! The church (Christians) should all set a godly example of how to do that. I want to thank my friend RM for teaching me just in our open discussion; but also I am looking forward to this new venture in my life.

To start I'd like to list some of my favorite places (God's country):)
US:
Oregon
Maine
North Carolina(Blue Ridge Mountains)
Montana
Wyoming
Charleston, South Carolina
Georgia
New Hampshire
Massachusets
Arizona
Chesterfield, MO (home of Reliv, Int'l.:))
Hawaii
CA:
Pacific Coast highway
Monterey
Yosemite
Santa Barbara
Balboa Island
San Diego (the beaches, the Zoo, etc.)
Other places:
Eastern Canada
English countryside (UK)
Baja (Lower California), Mexico
Belize (San Pedro), Central America
Uganda, East Africa
and then of course, someday I want to go to Scotland and it will definitely be at the top of my list:)

Everybody's gotta start somewhere!

I really wasn't going to do this...

...but I'm sucked into it now...!
Once upon a time, xanga.com was all I knew. My husband got me into blogging on xanga because he thought I loved journaling, which I do. I am not an author nor a writer but I do enjoy creative free hand writing and I used to think I wanted to be a journalist, but decided in high school reporting wasn't for me.
Then I heard from people that I should have a myspace. It was fun helping and seeing my friends create a myspace, so I joined.
Just recently I've gotten into facebook; my sister invited me so now i'm hooked - just so I can watch for new pics of my adoreable niece. (Proud aunt right here).
I really wasn't planning on having a blog at every blogspace, but I have a sister who does have one everywhere. I guess it keeps me in touch with different people and circles of influences, and I enjoy that. I love meeting new people too; I used to be on several different webrings and groups back in the day.

Why start a blogger blog? I like my gmail/googletalk/google period. I also am happy where my life is right now, and where else should I be when I'm happy? Exactly.
Writing, that's what.
Although, they say the best writers get their best work when depressed or distraught right? :)
I'll probably just re-post (copy-paste) from my other blogs; I just wanted to start it out right!
