be safe? kthanks.
ps. dont be a name stealer. you cant have the names keri, brooke or travelstead. :] they are property of me.
The whole cd is amazing, listen to 11 and 12, sucks you can't hear the whole song but the iron and wine on your itunes sucks, no offense. you can borrow the cd if you want.
dude my sister got a membership to Hesters and Convinced me to join, but do you still climb up there? That's pretty much what i'm going to do. You should go with me sometime.
Hahah not blaming my problems on some random behavioral deficiency, but honestly, I'm so ADD, while leaving you that picture comment, I started wishing I had a swing in my backyard. Why? No apparent reason. Just because.
Haha. But really. I used to have this sweet swing in my backyard in Illinois. It was so great. I wish I had one of those again. and a pool again. And a trampoline again.
Dang it. Now I'm just depressed. Not really.
So it took me like fifteen minutes to buy shampoo today. I wanted to switch shampoos. I decided on clairol's long hair shampoo called "a longterm relationship" or something, but I didn't like the raspberry smell, so I put it back. Then I wanted the coconut organix shampoo but it was like six dollars and I was afraid it would make my hair oily. I got irritated and just got garnier long and strong like usual.
Hm. I had frozen rasperries about an hour ago. They were good. But not really because I swear it tastes like licking the end of a battery after you swallow them. Like I can taste the microwaves embedded in my fruit after warming them up to thaw them out. Ew.
I should pack. But I don't want to. I just had to pack three days ago. I'm hanging out with Abigail tomorrow. Yay. My rooms a wreck which is supa surprising. Boo.
I think I want to take a walk. But I wish someone would go with me for once. :[
Okay nevermind, not bye. You know what would be so great? If, when we move next year to a new house, I could paint my own bedroom.
I'm talkin' flowers and inspirational quotes and bible verses galore. Yes sir, yes sir! My dad would say, "Yeah.. uh. I can't afford to let you do that." As in, "You'd screw up. Sorry." Just like when I asked to have his Jeep when he wanted to get rid of it. "I can't afford to let you drive it." "So you think I won't be able to drive?" "Heh.."
I think I just want that whole group of people for support, but people who are active in their faith more often than sundays and wednesdays and not just three days for winterfest. Like an ongoing thing. Yeah.
Not to feel more religious. But I want to feel a strong connection with something I guess. Something that has such a large potential of turning into a revolution- just like New Age is oh so appealing to everyone, I wish that the Christian youth would rise up and show it's colors and realize that if we would just reach out to the lost, we could take our generation back so fast.. we would't need xbox and air hockey for bait. God's peace and love and fire would cause people to gravitate towards our youth group on their own- the fact that God is with us, and they are lost would cause them to want to be a part of it.
Gosh. I just want our youth group to be huge and strong and faithful and serious. You know?
Not to sound critical, I know it'll happen in due time. Okay I feel like I'm rambling.
Yeah.. So Shane is apart of new monasticism which is more like faith plus hippie life styles minus the religious rule of no marriage like traditional christian monasticism.
Okay. So his heart is right. But it's kind of religious. Hm. Okay. You know, the things that their after like peacemaking and humility.. it sounds pretty cool. Like, making the fruits of the spirit into a group act. I like it.
Haha, why do I think nomads are so odd? I think it's just the word. I mean honestly, can you take a person seriously if they come up to you, "Hello, I'm Caasiah and I'm nomadic. Which basically makes me a gypsy. K'bye."
Psalters are nomadic. Hm. Yeah see, this makes me think of people grouping together and creating their own faith.
Gossssshh.
Part I: Who are psalters? Songs of Exodus
As followers of El Elyon , the Suffering Servant, we seek not to make music for music’s sake, but for God’s sake; through His Grace, for His Glory. We wanna be like the temple musicians who first performed the psalms over three thousand years ago. Occasionally scholars refer to these temple musicians as ‘psalters’. They were people intending to glorify God through music. They did not perform for the sake of entertainment, utility, or artistic expression. These functions, though important, were subordinate to the primary vocation of making prayers to the God of the Exodus. Prayers of lamentation over the various enslavements of this world; and prayers of praise to the God who liberates and will continue to liberate us out of our enslavement. The artistically entertaining social functions, which are usually the main goals of musicians, were merely welcome by-products of the psalter’s music. Their music was prayer and song united into one word: tehillah(translated as psalm
haha so Psalters described their sound "the percussive clank of chain links attached to dozens of defiant stomping feet across the marbled business floor desert, fists raised high, open mouthed screaming brittle sirens over the hum of computers, air filtration systems and the muddy thud of a thousand apathetic hearts"
Dude, yeah, so Shane Claiborne is cool, but everytime I look into things he does and supports it makes me think of a group of hippies that made a cult and said they follow Jesus. Maybe the music just intimidates me. I don't know. Eh.
I like that he wants a new generation of Christians, it's totally great, and him saying that we need to love God and love others and it's the most courageous and powerful thing we can do, that's great too- and also that he likes community because things that God designed involved groups of people as a community is kind of right..
Hm... :/ Share thoughts on him, please. Not to sound dependant on your opinion to make my own or anything, ha.
Baybee. I'm on my dad's laptop. He got a new one. Michael wants to go to the jacuzzijacuzzijacuzzi, but we're going to a movie at five and my moms going to need to get ready so if he went then he'd have to get ready and my mom would be getting ready in the bathroom. Okay so anyway.
I got to go into Gap while the sale was still goin onnn. Yes. Three new shirts. One has africa on it. Sweet, eh?
I went to H&M for the first time! Lots of cool things. :D Two new tshirts that are mad cool. And new headbands & uh, what else.. A scarf! :D
Two new pairs of jeans from AE. THey were on sale for twenty. I like the boyfriend cut. I got some of those. They're a medium wash, the others are dark.
I went to Lucky Brand jeans and got a new tank. They still had their sale. 50% off plus 25% off.
We (Michael and I) are going to see hancock- I think that's what it's called? I've only seen the commercial for it once since I rarely watch Tee (to the) Vee. Its the superhero movie with Will S. But you probably already knew what I was talking about anyway.
