Black t shirts.
Scenic drives.
Calling 911 to report fallen trees..."no i don't know what county I'm in. no, i don't know if I'm in tennessee or ga. Yes, i'm sure that's the road. Well are you sure? I mean that's what the sign said...". Yeah.
The various drivers forcing the truck to have random convulsions at unexpected times.

Hey! So, first post from college! I'm having a lot of fun, but this is definately not the way it's going to be all the time. It's like summer camp, times 10. lol. Plus some like random lectures and a bunch of tests about "general Biblical knowledge," you know, about all those important facts like Ahab and Jazabelle and all that good stuff. Ahab was Jazabelle's husband right? lol. The weather is ever so unpredictable. That's always fun. And the chapel is arctic, at all times. But I like our room, and Esperanza is working now, except she's not supporting firefox which is making me upset, but w/e. I'll get that worked eventually. We have like the "O-Teams", and we do everything together, which is actually pretty fun because I'm getting to know all these random ppl who I never would have otherwise. There's this one girl, and she's 4'10". It's awesome. lol. So yeah, i'm happy, but Hope...you need to get your butt up here. But as I said before, You'll come, and then I'll never be lonely again, so I'll just enjoy it while it lasts. ;) I miss you all! Much love.
There is far too much to be done before I go to school, and I feel completely overwhelmed by it all, but the scary thing is that before I know it, I'll be lying all alone in some room at school in a bunk bed. And I won't even be able to stare at the ceiling kuz I'm on the bottom, but at least I won't be able to fall off and permenantly damage myself in the middle of the night. Well, I suppose that's still not out of the realm of possibility, even from the bottom bunk, but I'd say the risk is significantly decreased. I'm going to miss all my friends so much. It's dreadfully sad. I've been spending so much time with them that I can't imagine living a whole day without them. I'm very codependant based on my last statement. lol. But still, it's sad. Life is so small when it comes down to it, but it seems so big all the time. But then there are the moments when it seems suffocatingly small and eternity is staring you in the face...I don't know. There are far too many thoughts in my head at 12:40 am. I need a diary. I keep typing things and then deleting them because I don't want the whole world to read them. That's the trouble with writing. Once I start, I feel like I might as well spill and get all out there on the page. So much for that idea. If I had a post for ever major mood I went through during the day, it would be quite remarkable. Ok. I'm going to sleep now. Life is too short to live half-heartedly.
"All truth is God's truth, no matter where it is found, and we can thank him for it all." Do we like this line?
I definately don't like that the author uses the universal "she" instead of the universal "he." That's just ridiculous. I mean, if you're going to be all pc about it, do both genders (he/she), or avoid using third person singular when a gender is required, but taking it all the way to "she?" Pssshh. "In a word, if she is to act creatively and to speak with cogency and clarity to the minds of her fellows..." and again, "Every parent feels protective toward her youngsters..." I think it may actually be switching back and forth between genders in certain parts, which is even more stupid and confusing. So my first impression of Covenant literature is definately not positive, but hey, who judges a whole college by one book?
Hope, I found yet another strand of your hair. It's going to be like wound around me forever, interwoven in my clothes and in my backpack and everywhere by the time next semester is over. That's ok though. I love you.
Goodnight all. :)
I was talking to my mom tonight about not putting your trust in any one person or group of people or place, and it's really interesting, because a place or group of people can make me perfectly happy for a little while, and then like the glitter fades and joy is gone, and it's like, oh they're just people, and this is just a place and this isn't what is going to make me happy. It's amazing to think about that, becuase I get all caught up in things like that, and then I walk in with expectations, and I'm left empty. I said something to my mom about how happy places were always ripped away, and she that was rather pessimistic and looked rather concerned, but I'm not upset about this fact...it's just a fact. Happy places never stay happy. They become sad and hollow and empty. And if you expect them to always be happy, you'll be let down. Maybe most people don't have happy places, but I do. What it comes down to is that unless I'm happy in Christ wherever I am, no place will ever really be happy, and I can be happy in any place, if I have Christ. So that's that, and happy places are all just facades hiding what's underneath, and what's underneath is usually not very pretty. But sometimes it's happier just to live in the delusion that it's all pretty and happy than to see things for what they really are. But that's not living in reality, and if I don't focus on reality, things end up looking very strange. Life through the eyes of Annie. Be glad you never have to experience it. It's kind of confusing. But remember guys, life is not complicated!! No!! Never complicated. Just complex.
Complicated: Containing intricately combined or involved parts; Not easy to understand or analyze. See Synonyms at
complex.
Complex: Consisting of interconnected or interwoven parts; composite; Involved or intricate, as in structure; complicated.

No one in all of Peachtree City knows where to get an ethernet splitter or even how to locate one. How can this concept really be that difficult? There's a coupler and there's a splitter. All I need is a splitter. I already have a coupler. Not at RadioShack. Not at Staples. Not at Best Buy. Not even at Comp USA! The guy at RadioShack didn't even know what I was talking about what like "Whoa." So if anyone knows where to locate a splitter without having to call someone in the state of Connecticut, let me know.
On Eating.
I must protest against all those who are such proponents for the cause of eating. I find the practice quite disturbing. Why would want to eat if only to feel ill as soon as the eating is completed? It defeats its own purpose simply by existing. I am very tired. I am always tired. I think I shall sleep forever and ever and never wake again. That would make me happy. No sleeping and no eating and no more dreadful caffeine. Good night. Except not.
So pretty much, Heather and I listen to the same 4 songs all day at work, not for a lack of accessibility to music, but because of a strange compulsion to listen to them time after time, which means that by the end of the day, we are completely and utterly sick of them, but by the time the morning comes again, we're dying for the again. The songs are as follows:
-Lips of an Angel, by Hinder
-Better than Me, by Hinder
-Stolen, by Dashboard Confessional
-The Adventure, by Angels and Airwaves
We deviate from these four when we get seriously sick of them, but that's pretty much it. So anyways, if you ever need songs to get you through a long day at the office, or a long day anywhere, look these four up, and you too will be addicted.
I was trying to talk this morning before I had my full throttle...and I couldn't even get my sentence out. My brain wouldn't formulate the thought patterns to make my mouth move in an intelligent matter. But I am now half way through my first one, and I am thinking much more coherently now.
You know you've been on the computer too much when you mistake in the real world and you're first thought is Ctrl+Z.
This post is dedicated to all the emails sent trying to fix the problems that you get blamed for, and all the time spent on the phone going, "No, I cancelled that yesterday. Give me the credit number!" And to all the piano students who don't bring their music. And to all the times you're randomly handed a job you have no clue about. And then you pull it off, despite everything.
Would someone please teach me how to do a round kick? I can block a direct knife blow, but I can't do a round kick. lol.
