Musings of a Teenage Sage

Farewell, my friends! I'm going to be out of town for a few days, and if all goes well I shall return tanner than ever. My minutes are shot, so only call me during the day if you have T-Mobile, and if you don't, call me in the night or on the weekend. :) Much love.

There's a wasp infestation in my room.
Krav Maga was really fun tonight. I did it in Fayetteville instead of PTC, and I think I might like it better. It had more of an experienced feel whereas the other one had more of a young/fun feel. I didn't feel like I was more experienced but that the instructor was. And there were definately no "matter of interpretation" comments going on, which was very nice. Both classes were enjoyable, but I feel like I got more out of tonight's. I loved last week's too tho so we'll see.
So in my ample readiness for college life, I have one pillow and seven washcloths. Got the sleeping and cleanliness covered. The fact that I own like four long sleeve shirts and that I'm going to a snowy, icy, windy, freezing school is going to need some work.
I think I just found another strand of your hair, Hope.
Sin really has perverted our world you know. Everything that should be good isn't. But I'm much too tired to think deeply. See, sin has perverted even sleep and consciousness, blurring the lines between them so that one interupts the other and neither can be fully seperate from the other. I'm going to see if I can let sleep win the battle at this point, tho it annoys me to no end that my ability to think and function should be infringed upon by something like weariness. Good night.

And I'm at home making travel reservations!
Something is wrong with this picture.

The words, "Oh, she's 0 for 7," bring such a smile to my face.
Oh and, "So how long have you been clean?" Yeah. That really does it for me too.
I am so out of the doghouse. That's all I can say.

Oh, and this is for Micah--You're beautiful, it's true.

So Ric was pretty much spazzing out the other day over this gun. He was like, "Oh man, at annual training, I got to shoot a 50 caliber sniper rifle, man! This thing was so awesome. I could shoot and then (insert gun terminology here. something to extent of, take the recoil and then get the rifle setup again on its bipod) and I could count to 4, like 1...2...3...4, and then BOOM! The tank would blow. It was so awesome. Do you have any idea how long a bullet is for one of these things??" Proceeds to show me the length of the bullet, and finds all sorts of pictures of the rifle, takes me to the Barrett website, etc. "Beautiful. It's just beautiful."
It was kinda funny. And thus begins Annie's education of guns.

Hey guys.

So pretty much, if anybody has any travel needs coming up, give me a call. I had a very busy day at work scheduling like nine million flights and cars and hotels and directions for like so many ppl, all of their schedules having to coincide and then speed off in opposite directions to the next location where their presence is demanded. Maybe one of these days, I'll actually get to go stay in one of the hotel rooms which I so adeptly book. But actually, it probably wouldn't be that fun to walk around in a suit talking to clients all day and trying to impress everyone, but sometimes it seems like it would beat sitting in that chair being ready to answer the phone and speed off into another flurry of activity trying to get everything done before the deadline which is ever so quickly approaching. I got a lovely five minutes of lunch today. Those five minutes were very precious to me. lol. I actually love my job. Nowhere else could I get this diverse of an experience with multifaceted sides of life and stuff and still stay in the same office. But ya know, everything gets a little frustrating after awhile. And now, I think that I shall go run. Becuase my fingers are typing very quickly and I'm thinking that I should put this energy into the treadmill. You know, I wonder what kind of things you could discover about people if you could like gather all the stress and energy they exerted into the treadmill or their outlet of choice and then like analyzed it. I mean, everybody has an outlet, and that outlet probably actually knows a whole lot more about that person than anyone else does. So that's my insight on the profundity of treadmills for the day.
Oh and I'm becoming a walking encyclopedia of airport codes, so if you're ever wondering...jk.

Micah Cauble. This post is dedicated to the one and only. Without Micah, I would not have gone to family camp. Without Micah, family camp would have been dull as blazes. Without Micah, I would never have gone that far out in the water and felt perfectly fine about it. Without Micah, there would be no memories of him running across the parking lot to the porta potty with a bag of maggots, in a bathing suit none the less. Without Micah, there would have been no running on the beach, or star gazing, or sparkly stuff in the water!! Without Micah, there would be no stories to tell at all. And so, with that thought, I end this post, but let all the world know that Micah OWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I went to the beach this week. It was really fun. Family camp is always relaxing and such, even tho my family wasn't there. I had Hope so that was awesome. We had fun. It was a precursor for what is to come next year...actually next month. Well maybe it wasn't a precursor...more like hopefully it was a precursor, but we had fun. A grand time. ha ;) "I don't give a flying fajitar about him, and he doesn't give a flying fajitar about me!" That was our line for the week. So they announced today that the food was the best yet this year, and i'm thinking, if this was the best, how can i possibly not have any recollection of the food from the years previous? I decided to go to camp at the very last minute, like at 1:30 Sunday afternoon I started calling ppl and we left Monday morning at 8 am. So, that was fun. And everything came together and the Lord really worked it for me to go. And it was good that I went. Sometimes things work out differently than you might expect and for different reasons, but it was definately for the best and I feel much more refreshed that I did before. My self defense class yesterday was quite fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it would be fun to take a year and pursue all the things I've always wanted to do, like learn to fight/defend myself and take ball room dancing (well I haven't always wanted to do that one, but I do now,) and write and read, and run, and get better at the piano and learn a bunch of songs and all that kind of stuff. But then I would fall behind on my real education...the one I'm a year ahead in. lol. So I'm guessin I'll just do all that stuff while I do the real education thing, and stay all busy and stuff. That'll be fun. And I want to travel all over the place. I want to go to Rome and London and Paris and Tokyo and Australia and the Phillipines and South Africa and maybe some country in South America. That would be fun. But alas, there are those dreadful things in life called responsibilties. Sometimes I wonder why in the world I push myself so hard to reach these educational and vocational goals instead of just doing the things I really want to do and enjoying it and learning through all that. But I guess life isn't always the way you want it to be, and if I'm supposed to do those things, I'll do them one day. But I'm still waiting. And I would take hundreds of pictures of everything. It's amazing how much more beautiful things can be come if you view them through the perspective of a camera, like thinking about how you can make a picture beautiful. When we were doing camp a few weeks ago, we went to this flower nursery, and normally I don't like those places, but I was walking around taking pictures of all the girls and the flowers, and the girls with the flowers, and it was raining, so there were water droplets on everything, and I really ended up enjoying it. So I think that would be fun. And through a picture, a memory can live on. That sounds mushy. Anywayz. I guess it comes to dreams or goals, and whether your dreams line up with your goals and if you're willing to change your dreams to match your goals or vice versa. And I guess whichever you choose will win out, becuase everyone has dreams, but it's the goals that win out in the end. Since I'm leaving for Covenant in a month, I'm guessing that the dreams are going to take the backseat for a while longer. And that's probably the way it should be.
