from iamhephzibah :
Someone once got on to me for "writing to an audience" but I don't see the harm in that. I'm sorry I've not responded to other posts before now. It's been a very busy semester. And that is only the beginning. You are loved, even if it doesn't feel like it times. Remember that you are His. No one else matters. In Him, Zee
from talktogod :
I blame Facebook...
from joy-in-god :
How are you Amy? I just caught up with online diary reading because I've been so busy with work ever since I returned to Singapore. I'm sorry to hear you haven't had a summer job, just enjoy the summer then and find ways to serve the Lord! Oh yes, I've had a marriage proposal - from someone I met in Canada 6.5 years ago!! He's the best man I've ever met - will update you soon, so hope to hear from you in the meantime! @--J--- 22 July 2009
from bluepetal :
lol yea. there's a chatbox at the bottom of my diary...it has some back and forth msgs between us. thanks my son is great, except when he's not sleeping
from bluepetal :
yay! do you even remember me? I'm back :) how's life? how's your devotions going?
from fan4 :
Your Summer didn't sound boring to me, Amy.
from silverluna :
Hey how are you? Did you get to take that summer vacation with your family?
from fan4 :
I want Saturday to get here. I'll be spending time with a friend I met last Summer. Should be fun.
from onlygrace :
hi :)
from fan4 :
Could you please drop the "aversion to Diaryland" topic?
from fan4 :
Happy Belated Birthday! (I had no idea you were feeling a bit lonely. If I had, I would've visited your blog a whole lot sooner. Sorry Amy.)
from iamhephzibah :
It happens. I've done the same thing to. I also got yelled at once bc i apologized on my blog (which I thought was kinda immature, because it is my site... but w/e) Anyways, I'm glad to know you're alive. Be blessed friend!
from musicman6724 :
I certainly know what you mean. And being able to keep in touch on Facebook even makes it harder to work up the motivation to update on D-land! Well, I, for one, plan to do better, too. In between playing games of Bejeweled Blitz! LoL
from joy-in-god :
Amy, by the way, blessed 21st birthday! & I just clicked on your archives & I see you're taking a General Methods class. What does that mean? Is that part of a program? May you have a memorable, lovely day, & may you continue to follow the Lord in all you say and do. @--J---
from joy-in-god :
I haven't updated/read buddy list diaries in weeks! How have you been? You're teaching? As in voluntary, part-time, casual, or fulltime? How're you finding it? I'm experiencing a big change in my life & I'm thinking of a teaching career too, but because I've been down, I'm a bit less confident about my skills. I'm really not sure what career path to take, I just feel like trying out a bit of possible careers before deciding! However, because application deadlines are just around the corner, I should apply for something of interest just in case jobs are hard to find in Vancouver - which is where I'll be moving to mid-year! @--J--- 18 March 2009
from talktogod :
Feeling Blue--good poem. Sad, of course, but it's meant to be. I think you said it very well.
from galenred :
my diaryland diary is not a blog but is blue. my non-blog has the blues, being not a blog like it is but it is blue, just because. just because it looks like it has the blues, does not mean it has to sound like it sings. maybe it does, or maybe it will, or maybe it can go in circles, smaller and smaller all the time, dwindlingly so… it had a dream. a blue dream. not a bad dream, but many or few of those dreams of blue, a dream of blue, a dab. dab dab dabba do! --g♥
from galenred :
I have not commented here in some time now. Never was good at complete silence. Darnang-me! Oops, I swore I wouldn't slip-do that again. (I'm looking for that old d-x template, oddly) . later . amy . --g♥
from talktogod :
Nice pictures. I love pictures of icy stuff. They're beautiful, even though they sometimes cause great hardship. Will be praying for your family, too. I know it's hard. God bless you, Amy.
from sunnyrain828 :
Yeah, I don't expect you actually KNOW her, but I just thought it was ironic that 2 of my D-land friends are from KY. She's from Louisville. Her diary is listed on my Favorite Diaries page.
from sunnyrain828 :
Hey, I just saw in your profile that you're from Kentucky. You might know my friend Angela! Wouldn't that be funny? :D She used to write on Diaryland, but she hasn't since she got married a couple years ago.
from talktogod :
Merry Christmas, Amy!! Rejoice!
from fan4 :
Merry Christmas!
from fan4 :
I go back on Jan. 5th.
from fan4 :
I don't understand why you're upset about getting 80% (or higher) on multiple-choice questions.
from fan4 :
I kinda developed an attitude problem myself, while at college. I still did the work on time, but my heart just wasn't into it. You have something in common with my friend Isis. She's also a fan of the Twilight books. When I get curious enough 'bout Forks, maybe I'll read them. Most books I read, don't take place in my state. Did you send out a lot of Christmas cards? I have, and I'm not done yet! My Thanksgiving was fun. Spent it at a friend's house, and got to select what I wanted to eat. Turkey, sweet potatoes, fruit, pie, mashed potatoes and gravy....
from shesxsoxpunk :
hey... I just randomly came upon your profile. :D and I wanted to tell you that you have awesome taste in music & movies, and ohmygosh- I just saw The Ultimate Gift the other day, and it's soooo good! (it made me cry!) and yeah. hahah I just thought I'd tell you that. :) ~rae
from talktogod :
We had a nice Thanksgiving...the time at my father-in-law's was a bit stressful because it was really crowded with his wife's family. But my mother-in-law's later was much more relaxed and pleasant. Then we went to my parents on Friday, where we had a marvelous time.
from joy-in-god :
Wow, from 84% to 100%!? & you didn't study for the test? You must be naturally smart, Amy! I do admire that! I'm not which is why my lecturers have suggested I quit (just when I'm a few months away from graduation). Sigh! I am not going to quit, not when I've come this far! But I really need God's intervention now to grant me wisdom & strength! I'd appreciate it if you could pray for me that God will help me through this hurdle. Any prayer points on your side? @--J--- 13 Nov 2008
from sunnyrain828 :
I do know the picture isn't showing up...I can't figure it out. Guess I'll have to check the website I got the layout from. :/
from joy-in-god :
Amy! I've moved to http://joy-in-god.diaryland.com as I want to share God's work in my life & how I'm living for Jesus! @--J---
from iamhephzibah :
he's a revivalist. There's a lot of controversy surrounding his doctrine and stuff
from iamhephzibah :
Major problems. At least you are asking yourself now... When I was an EC-4 major, it took a miracle to get me to realize that wasn't where I was supposed to be. Don't stress it. God will reveal Himself when you need it most (though you may not realize it.) It's really cool how he works things out. Hope you find the answers you seek soon. if it's to stay with elem. ed. or choose another major, you'll know :-) blessings! Zee
from silverluna :
like i've been saying, she is so beautiful! I can't wait to have my own child, or maybe even to adopt one! You are soo blessed! :)
from iamhephzibah :
nieces are amazing people. God has blessed me with two, and they are the sweetest things ever. Both are extremely perceptive, and both are just as cute as can be. I guess they had good genes LOL. Anyways, I hope you are able to hug and love her a lot, and remind her that she is God's gift to y'all. :-) Be blessed! -Zee
from minstrelite :
That's great! Perhaps by now you have already met her. I hope it has been a wonderful evening for you!
from talktogod :
How exciting!! I think I read somewhere that you get to meet your niece tonight. :-D How very wonderful. Blessings on your first meeting!
from sunnyrain828 :
I like getting notes too. People never leave them for me anymore. :P I can't open up my diary to the public because it's got a lot of private stuff in there, but I sure miss getting notes from random D-land people. ~*~ Yeah, I'm 22. Just graduated from college last May. My degree was in English (go figure :) ). I LOVE to write, so I have a number of blogs... I write on my MySpace page, I write on my Facebook page, I write on Blogger and I write on D-land. LOL. I also have regular paper-and-pen journals, but I don't keep up with them as much as I used to. Typing is just so much faster! ~*~ Wow, I am really tired. Time for me to go to bed! Hope you enjoy my diary. :) Talk to you later.
from sunnyrain828 :
I actually don't know your name all that well, LOL... I put you on my buddy list because you're friends with Hephzi and Cheryl, and I had read a couple of your entries and liked them, but I haven't been a regular reader for long. I just saw your last entry and was like, "Hey! I know how that feels!" so I had to say something. :) Anyway, my name is Stephanie. I've been D-land friends with Cheryl for...ever. Since free2dream was her username. And I've been friends with Hephzi for about 3 months-ish. You're 2 years younger than me. Oddly, I seem to make good friends with people who are 2 years younger than me...Kinda funny and random. :) Have I given you the username/password to my diary yet? If I haven't--oops! Sorry!! I think somehow I got it in my head that we've been in contact before, when we actually haven't. LOL.
from sunnyrain828 :
It's amazing how many people I have met lately that have decided to go with education major, but aren't really sure they want to teach. I was one of those people. I was an English Education major for three years, and right before the end of my junior year, switched to just English. I just dreaded my student teaching that was coming up, so much that it was making me sick. One of my education professors finally took me aside and said, "Are you sure you're in the right field?" God bless that woman, and I can't be thankful enough that he prompted her to speak to me, or else I would have just gone through with it and been one of the unhappiest people on the planet. At the moment I'm looking for admin. assistant jobs and teaching English to refugees on the side, which is so much more up my alley than teaching 30 teenagers at a time in a public school setting. I am just not made of that kind of stuff. ~*~ As for you, it sounds like you're not made of that kind of stuff either. I realize that changing your major is a HUGE step out of security right now, and you might not be ready to take it yet, but if the thought of writing lesson plans and trying to control kids is making you miserable, you shouldn't let yourself stay there. I'll be praying that someone gives you a little push in the right direction--hopefully the career advisor you're going to see. ~*~ One last word: You can get almost any job with a college degree, regardless the area your degree is in. What counts is that it is a college degree!
from iamhephzibah :
haha.... i have read too many fairytales/romances... Life just doesn't turn out the way it does in a novel :-( But it's ok. I'm doing better now... just don't have time to update at the moment. - zee
from iamhephzibah :
I think i'm gonna lock my blog in a couple of days so email me for a password (tanzenmitgottATyahoo)
from minstrelite :
Amy, sorry to have neglected you. I left a private message in your guestbook with the user/pass.
from iamhephzibah :
I'd say wait until school starts and then you'll count zees but that doesn't really work does it LOL I'm guessing counting zees is like counting sheep. eh, well... Counting zees. I only have one in my name though :-( so i guess i can only count to one? who knows ;-) --Zee
from talktogod :
Hahaha...you are right! I looked back at the comment. It was Andy. I looked too quickly the first time and thought it said Amy. Well, ok. I'll go leave "Andy" a note, then! Save that note for another time, ok? I'm sure it will apply some day. <3!
from talktogod :
You've humbled me with your kind words. That was very sweet. Thank you.
from fan4 :
I'm sorry for being rude, in my last two (private) guestbook entries.
from talktogod :
I haven't seen Spidey 3 yet. I enjoyed the other two. Spiderman was my all time favorite comic when I was growing up. I also enjoyed the old cartoon version, as well, and was thoroughly pleased when they included the theme song for that cartoon at the end of the first movie.
from iamhephzibah :
Yeah. I only had four. "shall we dance" is great! along with all the other movies that he's done with Ginger Rodgers (I've seen most of them) like i said, I <3 old movies LOL
from iamhephzibah :
Yes, fred astaire. He's in funny face with audrey hepburn (i <3 old movies LOL) and I've decided that if he were 90 years younger, I'd marry him LOL *misses the old hollywood.* Tha's good that you only had to remove one. Evidently the oral surgeon I saw for mine has had patients with like 9 wisdom teeth (tha's ridiculous!)
from iamhephzibah :
I only had one that needed to come out but I opted for all of them to be removed, but i had no stitches.... Christy was always my hero. I wish I could be her sometimes, but I find i'm more like Katie.... Audrey Hepburn is amazing. Have you seen Charade where she stars opposite Cary Grant, or How to steal a million where she stars opposite Peter o'toole? I <3 audrey! I also <3 Fred LOL
from silverluna :
How's your wisdom tooth? And yes we all need to make time for God. I need to finish that journal/devotion I started 2 months ago...
from minstrelite :
I believe that daily quiet time with God is very important. And you're right -- the enemy wants to keep that from happening. I'll be praying for you. Pray for me, too, because I am trying to do this as well.
from minstrelite :
Yeah, she is beautiful (the baby.)
from silverluna :
oh my goodness, the baby is beautiful! I love her!!!
from minstrelite :
Amy, I think you mis-interpreted something I wrote, although probably means I didn't write it clearly enough for somebody other than myself to understand it. I didn't mean that *truth* is subjective; I meant that being *delusional* is subjective. In the context, it was ambiguous. What I was trying to say is that if a person is suffering from a delusion, such as occurs during severe mania, the person would not be able to objectively perceive that s(he) were delusional. One of the symptoms of a manic episode is that the person having the episode does not think that anything is wrong. That's what I meant by it being subjective. I didn't mean, and I would never contend, that truth itself is subjective. As a Christian, I believe in an objective reality.
from fan4 :
Could you please read my newest entry?
from minstrelite :
I've thought about putting up a "five most recent entries" thing, but I've not yet figured out how to do that. Maybe you can help me with this? (Or maybe I can figure it out myself.) I did post a lot of entries yesterday -- I was having a weird day, and not getting much done. I gotta find another job, and I keep getting sidetracked. Glad you're taking a summer class, by the way.
from minstrelite :
I think you're right about putting the money in the bank. It lasts longer that way, because one is less inclined to spend pocket change on bagels and doughnuts and that kind of thing. I don't have a bank account right now because I am still blacklisted by Chex Systems due to past debts owed to banks, but I have a NetSpend account which gives me a debit card that is unattached to any particular bank. I could have deposited the money into the NetSpend account, and I bet it would have lasted longer. In any case, my only recourse now is to keep looking for more work.
from minstrelite :
No, I haven't lived in California all my life, but I've only left the State twice since 1979. As a kid, I moved from State to State every two years and sometimes out of the Country, because my dad was in the Navy. Last I counted, I've lived in 15 different towns in California in the past four`years. I actually think I *can* give the landlady another chance, and of course the best thing would be for us to resolve the matter. I asked her not to leave me any more notes and I gave her my phone number, but she hasn't called. I've sunken to another low, I didn't sleep almost all night, I'm tired, and I'm not motivated to do anything about it right now. I'm not doing my work either. I just composed a random instrumental piece under a pseudonym and mp3'd it -- good way to escape reality, I guess.
from fan4 :
I haven't found a "special spot" for my OYB yet.
from minstrelite :
Your "Sleepy Graduation" entry reminds me of a time when I had this office job and was chronically losing sleep and often calling in to tell them I wouldn't be in, or would be in late, because of insomnia. It was a data entry temp job, in which I had to just get all the data entered eventually, and so they went easy on me, because I usually did good work. Later I realized that I was having a strong espresso every night when I came home and then going out and running a few miles, so it was making it hard to get to sleep. I should have done that in the morning instead.
from minstrelite :
It's a different user/pass. Why don't you email me thru D-Land for it. If I can find an email you sent me earlier (if you sent one) I'll email it to you. :)
from minstrelite :
I saw Narnia (the first movie) but haven't seen Prince Caspian yet. I thought the biblical symbolism in Narnia was handled really well. I read all seven books a long time ago, but forget which one's which. I really like C. S. Lewis.
from minstrelite :
Yes, it make sense (what you wrote on my HaloScan.) I actually do the same thing myself. About the girls, they've always gotten along really well. Bethany sort of looks after Echo, being five years older, and that can be a beautiful thing.
from minstrelite :
I've been trying to answer your question about the girls on the HaloScan, but it's not letting me post. I'll try again later.
from minstrelite :
I have one flesh-and-blood daughter, my daughter Echo. I also have a stepdaughter named Bethany. She came first. She's five years older than Echo, and is Echo's half-sister. Thanks for asking.
from minstrelite :
I meant to add that the disability comes monthly in a relatively large amount of Social Security Disability Income and a relative small amount of Supplemental Security Income.
from minstrelite :
Thanks for asking. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar One Disorder (hypomanic), but it is not quite clear to me if that is the basis for the disability. I tried to describe the symptoms in a government document, but they wrote back and asked if I could have a close friend or relative describe them for me, in the same document, candidly. My brother agreed. I have no idea what he wrote, but shortly later the United States Government declared me "legally incompetent." Although I disagree, I have to admit that I have been having a hard time holding down jobs, or even staying in a single place of residence, in the four years since my mother died. So I'm willing to humble myself and take their money until, hopefully, I can get my act together.
from minstrelite :
Amy, I fully understand you and others not having anything to say, but I want to express my appreciation for your reading. There have been a few setbacks since returning to the Village, but I feel that I am basically pointed in the right direction. If you have questions, feel free to ask, and I'll answer them.
from minstrelite :
The Village is a place where I have a church and a doctor and a cheap place to live as well as access to counseling, but where I have never been able to find any work. I leave the Village periodically for a great job offer in the San Francisco Bay Area, which works out for a few months until I realize I can't afford to live in the Bay Area and am somewhat falling apart for lack of a support group. In the past four years, I have left the Village for the Bay Area four times, and returned to the Village five times, this being the fifth.
from jay-oh-why :
Amy! I'm quite envious of you now! USA's got such nice summer fruits in season whereas we're stuck with mandarins bleah. I mean, I like mandarins, but it's nothing compared to all the berries & cherries! Update soon ok? Take care! God bless! @--J--- 2008.05.20
from fan4 :
Although I didn't get the Asberger's diagnosis 'til around 2004, I've had that condition all my life.
from fan4 :
Next time you send me some message I don't like, I'm just going to delete it. Telling you i'm upset does no good, since no matter how many times I explain why I'm upset, you just never get it.
from fan4 :
I don't think any of my previous gb's allowed people to post private messages either. As far as my condition goes, I've had it all my life, though I didn't recieve the official diagnosis 'til I applied to the UW. I don't remember when exactly that was though.
from onlygrace :
i just wanna go hiking, read great books, see great movies, attend a billion concerts, and just sleep, hah :) what are your plans for the summer? im jealous though..i wish i was done with everything instead of procrastinating when i should be studying! =) TAKE CAAAARE
from fan4 :
Maybe I'll quit my current guestbook account, and sign up for a new one. Not now though. It's getting late, and I need to go offline.
from fan4 :
It's a cousin to Autism.
from minstrelite :
I have always liked that Scripture too, and I am not doubting God's faithfulness. It's my own indecision that's getting to me.
from fan4 :
Last note before classes start: I'll be talking to a therapist on Friday. Maybe she can help me handle my Asberger's better.
from fan4 :
I wish I remembered my guestbook password. I'd like to go in there and delete a bunch of entries, remove the taint of negativity somewhat. Or I guess I could replace my current gb with a new one.
from fan4 :
I found my OYB, only to lose it again. :( I know it's somewhere in my room, but it's not always easy to find stuff in there, 'cause my room's messy.
from minstrelite :
Please keep me. I'm going home. God will make a way.
from exclamatory :
That's amazing news about your cousin! God is so good! :]
from fan4 :
Bad habits sure are hard to break....I'm sorry for my complaints. Anyway, your suggestion brought my dad to mind. He's always telling me to go offline, when I read something I dislike. I have yet to listen to him. Earlier, you asked how Mother's Day went. I made my mom a card, and she liked it. Well, that's all I have to say for tonight. Later
from fan4 :
Your last note would've been perfectly fine, without the "just a suggestion" tag....
from fan4 :
you can't be relaxed when talking to me, can you?
from minstrelite :
Please pray for me. I have really bad Internet habits, otherwise I probably wouldn't be noting you, whom I do not know (I don't think.) I'm not online at home anymore, which is a good thing, but even when I go to the library, I don't manage my Internet time very well. I don't have any physical problems, but I have a lot of mental problems which I usually deny, and I don't seem to be able to manage in life like most people. Also people avoid me all the time, because of my problems. Today is particularly bad. If you want to read my diary, you can email me through D-Land for the password. I am not sure why I am writing to you. God bless you.
from fan4 :
I've forgotten how to be nice, and now you're scared of me. I wish I knew how to bring life back to our friendship. I can't believe I allowed it to die....
from fan4 :
If you weren't mad at me, why did you stop visiting?
from fan4 :
Are you mad at me?
from onlygrace :
Oh, you're done with everything. Disregard that question..
from onlygrace :
I'm taking four classes this semester. Next semester, I'm taking five, so that should be interesting. Are you done with everything? I won't be done until the 20th.
from onlygrace :
i think its cause we had a ridiculously LONG winter break...so it kinda elongated our spring semester
from fan4 :
Ask me that again when summer actually gets here. I can't think that far ahead in advance right now.
from galenred :
Anyone might figure I put that song there just to save my own "life" since I knew you liked it and thus may have simply invited the positive remark. Something about saving a drowning witch and we all need 'something' to hang on to, or onto, or whatever! Then, by admitting to that possibility like this, we can both swim (I shall do my part anyhow) in all these words that come from somewhere for some reason. Who needs to know the reason? The curious seem to think they do! (If you want to work on layout ideas anytime, I have figured out a few things already.) Thanks for helping me know I can still stay afloat, "bobber-ann" you got me rockin' and a-rollin' again… is the surf up over there? ♥ ♥ ♥ heartheartheart ♥ ♥ ♥ --g

My weekend had its share of positives and negatives.
from fan4 :
Last night (4/26/08) I found my One Year Bible.
from fan4 :
And if you were to remove me, I'd think it was because you stopped liking the entries, found them boring or whatnot.
from fan4 :
You can still make comments, but I should refrain from getting into a full-blown conversation concerning them. That always gets me in trouble.
from fan4 :
Too bad you never took notes when reading through my diary....
from fan4 :
I dunno how you decide when to take people off, but when I remove someone from my favorites, it's usually because I've stopped enjoying the content for some reason.
from fan4 :
Where did my OYB (One Year Bible) go? I never did read it this month. :(
from fan4 :
I wish I knew how to talk to people. If I did, there'd be less arguments going on.
from galenred :
I scan-all-eyes-ed this "probably won't be a very long update" of yours, and found that it had the following: [ Different words/items counted: 230] + [ Total Words: 559 ] + [ Total Punctuation: 82 ] + [ Total Other Text: 5 ] + [ Total Characters: 2933 ] + [ Total Paragraphs: 11 ] + it also had lots of things to think about that reminded me of how it really is interesting that the teachers want to spend extra time with their students so it never occurs to them that they could tell you about a change of plans so you could think for yourself (supposedly they want you to think for yourself, not be there to give their lives more meaning) so things have, in some ways, not changed in that respect. I remember a barbecue or two, here or there, in various "educational" settings, and sittings, and such. Should be time for that Geography test soon -- unless they decided to "move" it through space and time, or something! ;-) By the way, I think it only has 6 paragraphs, with extra lines, so my computer is really stupid, isn't it? Eleven Is Not Six... (hey, it's the start of "Einstein" there). Then again, I always said that a single sentence is not enough for a paragraph, so then, maybe it only has three paragraphs, and three other... um, asteroids? :-D You will do well enough on these tests, and then there will be more. No good deed goes unchallenged! ♥ ♥ ♥ --g
from exclamatory :
I'll be praying for you through finals. I know how they are. I start school back on May 19th and am anticipating/dreading it at the same time. My feelings towards school are bittersweet :]
from exclamatory :
Very lovely pics! Update soon :]
from galenred :
Those sure are beautiful sunflowers you made on that canvas. I guess it was canvas. I really cannot tell, just by looking at the picture. But I do have to admit I forgot to ask permission again. You can see what I did to them. Gosh, when you have so many different talents and some of them you do not even enjoy (like art) then what are you supposed to do? (Don't ask me since I obviously flop around on the issue, myself!) ♥ ♥ ♥ + ♥ ♥ ♥ --g
from galenred :
I forgot to say (or actually to ask your permission, please) that I'm adding you as my first (perhaps only) buddy here. Everybody needs at least one friend, or so I've heard. ;-) --g
from galenred :
Now that I happened to remember (by feeling somewhat desperate to find any sort of connection from past interactions) that I had signed up here at one point after "certain people" had gone elsewhere already (and that did *not* include you, if I am not mistaken, I actually started mine a couple of months before you did) and yadda=yadda (doesn't it?) since 2002-10-09 is approximately less than 2002-12-04 (from an eternal view they're fairly equal, actually)… <br /> I had to learn more things than I wanted to learn, and now I am using them. How about if I try to explain things, by posting about here (in this long-lost book I left in a closet somewhere) and maybe I can "teach" again. <br /> I am so *not* trying to steal your job, dear. <br /> Really. There's plenty of work to go around. Free is easier, I'd say, as long as it is not cheap at the same time. More nonsense, maybe? <br /> Let's see what happens next! <br /> ♥ ♥ ♥ --g
from fan4 :
that would probably be best. I sure don't enjoy getting into fights all the time, because something you said offended me. (Not that you intentionally set out to do that.)
from galenred :
How ridiculous is it to forget that I had already signed up here (you hear?) just "a few" years (or two) ago. Now I have to (must-must-must) remember to check and re-check (and re-re-re), just in case somebody (really it could be *anybody*) wants to be impressed with how I can forget things. Or how little I seem to care. (why is that?) Like whether they have cats or not. Meow. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ (oops I have only, own only 3) *waves* --g
from onlygrace :
whoa whoa, you are RIDICULOUSLY talented! =)
from onlygrace :
I'm proud of you too ;) I really want to go hiking this summer!
from iamhephzibah :
Yep, it's ever after. I was watching it last night. I needed a sleeping movie (one that i have memorized) and yeah. One of these days i'm gonna have to stop watching movies to fall asleep cuz I'm pretty sure my roomie won't like it. LOL Maybe I should go on a semi media fast this summer? Who knows. Anyways. I could write a novel about flaws in the story line of ever after, but I won't. I like the movie too much to be critical of it LOL. Be blessed! -Zee
from onlygrace :
and the fact that im hesitant about talking to him like we have been talking before...is saying a LOT. im gonna trust my instincts this time aroundd before i get myself into trouble like usual =)
from onlygrace :
me and him are friends, but latelyy, even ive been questioning it cause we talk ENTIRELY too much. and the thing with our indian culture is really different..you cant do that to a girl...like he doesnt even talk to his ACTUAL best friends as much as he talks to me, you know? so obviously we're FRIENDS but something else is up..
from onlygrace :
its not me and him. we're friends, and its okay. but i KNOW girls. and his "girlfriend" would NOTTT BE PLEASED at how much we talk. and recently, ive been thinkingg how weird it was, how much we DO talk when we're just FRIENDS. im gonna trust my instincts on this one and stop talking to him much, cause i dont think its right to HER. and he should KNOW better!
from exclamatory :
Fireflight sings that song. They're amazing and are my favorite band. :)
from exclamatory :
Your symptoms sound JUST like mine. I hate it. Yesterday I took 2 Benadryl at work and had to leave because it made me so sleepy that I could barely see my computer screen. I hope you feel better. Mine feels like it is all in my chest now. I have been taking this chest decongestant. Hopefully it works. Feel better! :)
from iamhephzibah :
welcome to the dark side. LOL
from talktogod :
Hey, make me a friend, k? Look up Jeff Bickley...Tha's me.
from iamhephzibah :
Yeah, it's great to have best friends that are guys, but Devin is a girl LOL No worries, though.... people do that all the time :-) And yeah, eventually i wanna travel and reach the post christian culture... but not right now... school first :-)
from iamhephzibah :
my major was just religion (general studies) now I have a specialization in Missions. So it's not too big of a change, but i get to take more classes that are going to be a major challenge. and Devin is a Missions major to which makes me happy :-) I love my BFF!
from talktogod :
Sooo, which day was your birthday? I must have missed that...sorry. Well, happy birthday, anyway!!
from onlygrace :
I'm on break right now. As far as I know, classes are going pretty okay...I'm trying to 4.0 everything so I can keep up my GPA instead of lowering it. :) Hope everything is great on your end.
from talktogod :
Many congratulations on your good news! How exciting! Especially the education part. That's really great. I bet you'll be an awesome teacher, and we need more awesome teachers!
from exclamatory :
Oh, and, I know what you mean about mid-week service at church. My church has service on Thursday nights. I love, love, LOVE going to church. I just always end up going to bed after midnight because I get home late and then have to get ready to wake up at like 5am the next morning for work. So, I basically wake up at 5am on Thursday after being up late from Wednesday, then get to bed after midnight, and have to wake up at like 5am on Friday. So, I'm usually exhausted Friday night. I miss being able to sleep-in :(
from exclamatory :
Your b-day is coming up! YAY! How are you?
from iamhephzibah :
It's a Bali-Wood (sp?) spoof of P&P and I watched it with my roomie last year. It was pretty funny, after I got past all the imagery.... :-)
from onlygrace :
my head hurts too! and the tylenol is NOT working =/
from iamhephzibah :
Yes, coffee has too many really long names. However at my local fav, my drink is a Cafe Royale. Pretty short and amazing!!! P&P happens to be one of my favorite books/movies. Seriously, I wanna marry someone named Darcy LOL. Have you seen Bride and Prejudice?
from exclamatory :
Really? That's cool - I'll be 21 March 22nd.
from diary--user :
Hi, and welcome to the Spring Diaryring. I see that your birthday is really close to mine, and actually coming up! Happy early birthday! If you like rings, you might want to check out some other rings I've made here: http://diary--user.diaryland.com/myrings.html
from exclamatory :
20, almost 21 - what about you?
from exclamatory :
Nope, I don't mind at all. In fact, I'll add you, as well. :)
from iamhephzibah :
Yes, carino's is a restaurant. Yummy italian food! about the pic, I was messing around on my computer and noticed I could do it. I think it's a gold member thing... who knows?
from iamhephzibah :
Pretty good. I was up with my sorority sisters until 2 last night and then a couple of us went to see 10,000 BC earlier today. It was really interesting. In about 30 minutes, we're going to Carino's an hour away. Fun stuff. :-D
from iamhephzibah :
I have no clue. It's just what i signed up for when I came to school here and signed up to live in the dorms
from iamhephzibah :
room checks = when the RA (resident assistant) lets herself into your room to see how clean it is. Occasionally the Dorm Mom actually does the room checks. Yesterday, my room looked like a level 3 tornado had come through LOL. Be blessed friend!
from iamhephzibah :
I, despite popular belief, have not abandoned you. As for your loneliness and despair, i definitely empathize, especially when I have so many friends here, it's just weird. Sometimes in those lonely times, God really wants to show you who He is. "Draw near to me, and I'll draw near to you" He says. Be blessed. I pray the day goes better for you.
from musicman6724 :
And why do we "drive" on the parkway and "park" in the driveway??? Huh?? Oh, yes...I can answer the diet coke one. I've been drinking diet coke for so long the real stuff tastes gross. Plus if I drank the regular stuff, I'd be even more overweight than I am now. Water? What's that??? It's the stuff they make soda pop out of!
from iamhephzibah :
Oh it definitely won't be long until I update again. I have a "new" used computer that I'm writing this on as we speak (or rather I type, you read). SOOOOO EXCITING!!!
from onlygrace :
1989! i was just born, or not even, actually...:) i love 80s movies though, another favorite of mine is Pretty in Pink and of course, The Breakfast Club...such classics :) this new diaryland thinggg is so weird, but im getting more accustomed to it...such a dreary color though lol :) take care
from fan4 :
I hope I have an awesome birthday.
from onlygrace :
SUCH an odd experience, but a one that I'm totally grateful for. It reminded me of how blessed we are to KNOW Him, in a world full of people who are obviously so lost and empty. =/ I skip classes all the time... :)
from onlygrace :
i think ive repeated that song (by the fray) and have begun to relate it to my life now =/
from onlygrace :
i actually read your entries before i read the note you sent me to tell me that i was tagged! :)
from onlygrace :
oh my gosh, i love that song! def gonna be one of my repeats now, thanks so muchh =) i read this amazing quote by mother teresa recently: "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."
from iamhephzibah :
Sometimes guy friends are overrated. And then they start dating people (who happens to not be me...) and then it's back to square one... finding more friends. ugh... Complicated. :-)------------------------------------------- Be blessed! <3 Zee
from iamhephzibah :
So this is for your last two entries. 1) I'm praying for you and your family, and I have no clue about any of the details (and I don't care... about the details I mean.) 2) Sometimes faith means believing even when you can't see the positives. (think about the BarlowGirl song they're always playing on air1) 3)God is good, and even when you don't know what good is coming from this situation (and you may not know...) He is *good*! It's times that we can't see the good that builds our faith (and I've gone through plenty.------- May many blessings come to you and your family! <3 Zee
from pippinsgirl :
Hey...Whatever is going on, I hope things turn out okay. You keep reminding yourself that God is in control, and that is the good thing. Praying for you.
from onlygrace :
man, i hope things are okay now. regardless of the situation, God's got it under control..does this entry have anything to do with your best friend's wedding?
from onlygrace :
i have the cd :) those lyrics ARE powerful, thank you for reminding me of that...
from iamhephzibah :
yep. I'm at a small christian university not far from where I grew up :-) I really love it.
from onlygrace :
School starts up again on the 28th! :) My GPA is lower than I'd like, but some things, you just can't control. =/ (it's a 3.6!) How are you? Are you starting school soon?
from iamhephzibah :
I'm incredibly happy you noticed I updated. Sometimes I wonder about myself! But anyways! how was christmas? I've got this incredible revelation, but you'll have to wait until I *blog* again to find it. Many blessings to you friend in this year!! may 2008 be great! LOL -- Zee
from superluckie :
I appreciate what you typed in that latest note, "onlygrace". =) Hey Amy you must be online! @--J--- Im back in Singapore! @--J--- 30 Dec 07
from superluckie :
Merry Christmas & a happy new year! Apologies for not updating as often as before! I've been busy but I intend to update at least once a week now! @--J--- 30 Dec 07
from onlygrace :
God's plan and purpose for our life is a mystery for all of us. We can't ever possibly try to understand the mind of God...so we trust. Trust. He knows what He's doing. and regardless of what may happen, He has it all in His hands, and everything will work out for the BEST. :) God is good ALL THE TIME. remember that :) I was really encouraged reading how strong Patrick is being through all of this. Remember to keep praising God even though this is a seriously difficult situation to be in. Pray. God won't ignore the prayers of His children. He listens. Pray for whatever it is that is done, be done according to HIS will. :)
from bluepetal :
Yes! I love the 12 days of Christmas and found that out last year. But I'm so glad you reminded me and I'm going to copy that for future notice ;) thanks!! ~Rose
from wait4you :
Really, the 18th? How close - mine's the 20th! I know someone whose birthday is the 18th. I'm from Michigan btw. What state are you from? Oh btw I hope you did good on your final. :)
from wait4you :
That was interesting about the song the 12 Days of Christmas. I never know that about the song! There's always something new to learn each day :) What kind of place do you work at? I work at a flower shop. It's pretty nice, always smells nice. I joke with my friend who works at Panera that while she comes home smelling like food, I smell like flowers! lol. So yeah, new schedules...my new one starts in late January. It's going to be a lot harder since I'm taking two English classes. At least I'm done with math though after this semester. So that education class, are you planning to be a teacher? I want to be a Spanish teacher. :)
from wait4you :
Oh, and no, I don't mind. I'll add you to mine if you don't mind either. :)
from wait4you :
You're welcome :) My name's McKenna and I'm 17 years old, going on 18 in March. Go class of 2008! :D Lol. How old are you?
from wait4you :
Besides the awkward moments, sounds like it was a fun wedding. I love weddings. :) (I have awkward moments all the time. It's cuz I'm so shy. I don't go a day without going through something awkward lol. So you're not alone when it comes to that).
from onlygrace :
im seeing it during break! i have the BIGGGESSSTTT crush on patrick dempsey :)
from superluckie :
Ok I've edited it! How's it now? Ooh the dress looks lovely! I'm sure you'll look very beautiful in it! Who picked it by the way? Have a gd time at the wedding! @--J---
from bluepetal :
haha! last week i for whatever reason, maybe your post, picked up my Sanctus Real cd and played it at work. I actually really like it O_O I guess my tastes have changed. I haven't even tried to listen to it in a couple years. It's the Fight the Tide cd.
from superluckie :
Hey, I'm sure you'll look all bright & pretty this Saturday! What colour will you be wearing? I've been feeling quite exhausted from my adults developmental disability placement. It's like a challenge God has graciously given me. & there're so many areas I've to work on. But I know that someday, I'll prove to myself, & to others, that I can be a competent, capable speech pathologist. @--J---
from iamhephzibah :
It was really just a fluke that I got through, i think. I mean, it was God telling me that He really did love me. I notice more an more how he says that :-)
from iamhephzibah :
yes, it was for Air1 Apprentice. I would've loved to have gone, but then it's probably good I didn't because of school and work and stuff, so it's all good! I'm still waiting for my cds LOL
from iamhephzibah :
i'm 22. And I love air1 too... but i didn't win the grand prize. I was amazed I was actually caller 10 tho!!!
from onlygrace :
i hope all your tests and exams are going well... how did the event on saturday go?
from bluepetal :
hm, i have one of their cds... don't like them tho. :( i really wanted to too
from bluepetal :
wow that sounds like an overload of stuff this weekend. i hope it's going ok and you aren't burning yourself out. i hate that it looks like we missed each other by about 10 minutes for chatting
from iamhephzibah :
hey! thanks for praying for me this past few weeks... God has a way of showing up even if you find it hard to believe in Him, but now I think I'm on track to rediscover His heart for me and that of his people. *sigh* He's amazing!
from iamhephzibah :
I really really really enjoy kids too, just not teaching them in the structured school setting. I go by *Zee* sometimes, but I have many nicknames.:-) I don't mind if you add me. I think it would be cool :-)
from iamhephzibah :
i was gonna be a teacher and even completed most of my training before a prof asked me what my passions were and then i prayed and fasted and discovered that wasn't what God had called me to do. So find your passions and use that for a major... If you like what you do it won't be much of a chore, and in the long run, a little less stressfull...
from bluepetal :
YAY!! You go girl! I'm so happy that you stood up for what is righteous. Although I think I would also write my teacher about such a thing. That's horrible. Then again, there is so much worse going on in some class rooms
from onlygrace :
i OD on the smileys :)
from onlygrace :
im convinced that bebo norman is one of my favorite human beings alive! and i saw bethany dillon and shane barnard walking hand in hand all cutesey...(if you havent heard, theyre engaged..) so it was GREAT!
from onlygrace :
its this upcoming weekend, im ecstatic! :) thanks for all the notes... =)
from onlygrace :
this weekend im going to see bebo norman and shane & shane :) im SO excited, cause ive seen shanes before but bebo...HES AMAZINGGG, the man is one of my favorite lyricists of all time! :)
from silverluna :
hehe that baby pic looks like my little sister. lol. we all had a head full of hair like her.
from bluepetal :
"YUCK! Get that thing away from me!" what was actually going on in that pic? oh and more on self-publishing... you load the file, they keep it on file until someone orders, then they create 1 book. you aren't in stores and usually have to work hard to get in stores. that's what i'm going...other s-pub is when you (author) orders your own books, oh say 200 at a time at least, and you go around and sell all 200 books. sometimes you can get a short contract type of thing with a bookstore for those 200 and they get a % of the sells. thing is if you can't sell those 200 you have like 150 books just laying around your house. it's kinda a depressing deal (and wasteful). with both of those you have to do all the advertising or get someone to help you. having a regular pub means they already have contracts with certain large bookstores & distributors. all you do is give them your book (which you set up a contract of who else you can sell to (or not at all, ever) and how much money/profits you'll get back personally (sometimes a lot upfront and none for ea. book, or vice versa or some other deal- this contract is what i'm trying to avoid, also sometimes it's a while, months or more before they do the next part-->), then they get your books set up at those stores and distributors and they do some amt of advertising, which you also agree to by contract.

Caption..."Um...who are you and where's my Mommy??"
from bluepetal :
wow, my minds' on working out more too. I've been trying to get an exercise schedule going but I haven't even had time to do that... I'm about to go work on edits for the book I'm trying to publish - laters!
from onlygrace :
=) i hope your allergies arent bothering you anymore...how FUN is it to be a bridesmaid? you DO realize though, you're gonna have to plan a bridal shower soon enoughhhhh :) aww weddings, i love it! thanks for all your notes---have a FANTABULOUS WEEK!
from bluepetal :
yay! you are getting to be a very GOOD runner. I love exercise and sports, I just don't get to it much lol. Amy, btw, you are such a sweetheart! thank you for your note, I will keep praying for you with your relationship with Christ. Have a great weekend! (too many exclamation marks in this message lol)
from fan4 :
Some people really are shy. I'm one of them.
from bluepetal :
Hey, I noticed that you haven't been reading your Bible in a while and you were doing sooo well!! I know how hard it is to keep on reading while you are in college and I would like to help. I'm sure you also know how the Lord reveals things to us when we have time to read and meditate on His word. God really wants you to come closer to Him. Is there anything I can do to help you start reading again? You don't have to read a chapter a day. I used to read just a verse or two. I'll be praying for you.
from pippinsgirl :
Haha, thanks. I was in some kind of angry/amused mood when I wrote that. I am doing pretty well right now. Um...I was actually in a car wreck today with Michael...that was scary. But neither of us got hurt and I'm somehow in a good mood. It really just felt like God was looking out for us there...I was really happy for that. So yeah, I'm definitely doing good considering the circumstances. :) What about you?
from onlygrace :
psychology is my major! :) what school do you go to..that is, if you share that kinda info online... well, i hope all is well! (i have NO FRIDAYS off...my entire week is booked!) ♥
from bluepetal :
hmm.. Personal Health sounds interesting! I'd like to take that I think. I know you probably won't be updating much but if nothing else keep on reading your Bible daily! That's how God shapes us, prayer is how we build a relationship with Him and meditation is how He reveals Himself to us. btw, u never told me Michelle was ur middle name...remember that definition I gave you of my name...it's the same as yours ^_~
from bluepetal :
hey that was probably the longest entry i've read from you. how are you? what type of job do you have? and sorry, i forgot, are you in school? most ppl around here has started college yesterday.
from onlygrace :
Reggae Praise - Nothing to Dread...thats SO hilarious! =) Jeremiah 33:3 has been on my heart recently..
from bluepetal :
I'm not sure if that post was a good one or bad... but I hope things get better soon. Have you still been reading? I forgot where you are at - I've been reading thru John. I'm nearly done!
from bluepetal :
:( I'm sorry your head hurts. hope u feel better. about the whole boy/girl entry I DO agree with you. Girls and guys have NOT a lick of an idea of what courting is anymore. You have ot look hard to find someone who even knows what that means today. There is a such thing as tack too. But on the other side of the fence I have to say that there are times when you are oblivious to how you are acting with your mate (or even bf) that others consider rude. Sometimes I'm hanging all over my husband, playing and whatnot in public. Now, all that tongue/touch stuff yes that's private but what do ppl know of privacy any more? And it's only getting worse. It's so important to get a guy that's into God that will respect you and keep you respectable.
from bluepetal :
i know your probably not on right now, but thanks for your comment! i'm doing ok - stomach is being a pain, otherwise i'm well. I had been thinking the last few days how your Bible studying was going and if you'd gotten any new insights lately?
from onlygrace :
the pursuit of happyness was SAD, but it was really hopeful at the end. that child, jayden, never ceases to amaze me with his cuteness. :) and i started watching stranger than fiction but never finished.. :) hope all is well with you..and i love your entries, as random as they get sometimes. :)
from bluepetal :
what does Coppelia mean?
from bluepetal :
yay yay! good job with reading :)! ya, no one i know is ever on IM anymore
from pippinsgirl :
Hey, sorry I've been slow about getting back to your notes, thanks for leaving them though. I've talked to Michael about us going to school together--for a while I didn't say anything about it, but that didn't last too long and he knows now that it's something I'd really like--but I always make sure to tell him that it's not a huge priority and I'd rather him go to the school he wants than do something just because I want him to. I know that we'll do just fine wherever we are, in the long run, but I tend to have more doubtful thoughts when we're separated for longer periods of time. They're often very irrational doubts though, and that's what I'm trying to change. All the same it's difficult to be trusting when we're apart (well for me anyway). I feel like since I'm in college I should be building some kind of new life and new relationships, but to tell you the truth I like the old ones better. I've somehow managed to keep a lot of my friends from high school and it's hard to find people who understand me the way they do. Anyway I feel like Michael and I both are obligated to live new lives in these separate places, but it seems like neither of us want to do that. It's hard to enunciate all the fears I have about those things, since it's summer now and we're out of school so I'm not thinking about it as much. I just know that when the semester starts up again, life could go back to being difficult. I guess that's how it is with everything, though. Okay, that was a lot of confusing sentences, did that answer your question at all? I tried.. :)
from onlygrace :
WAIIITT, how OLD is KASEY!!! !!!!
from bluepetal :
yay! she's cute...but looks like hair may be on her forehead? or is that just the pic? lol. I hope it works out - i can't imagine waiting that long after the baby is out the womb to have it with you. I hope they stay encouraged during this time.
from musicman6724 :
"The World As Best As I Remember It," is still an awesome album, after all these years. Rich Mullins was one of the most Christlike people I have ever met on this planet. I am still moved to tears when I hear "I See You," segueing into "Step By Step." That is one of the greatest song sequences ever written! I know Rich is dancing in the streets of heaven, but, dang it, I miss him sorely!!
from bluepetal :
yay! I love Falling up. I have their Dawn Escapes cd. Tho I eally wish they'd come out with something new. TFK is very cool and I have their Phenonmen (can't spell) CD with Rawkfist on it. I have TobyMac's Momentum cd too :) We just ordered a ton more, b/c I haven't bought any really in about 3 yrs except for Falling Up and TFK I got this yr.
from silverluna :
okay, i'll think of you. I have that same problem. I have the hardest time reading my bible. I connect with God better with worship and prayer than reading. But I know I need to read, just for the knowledge of what he's written and what He's done. So I'll check on your diary every day to remember...
from bluepetal :
haha! Accountability to the rescue! What did you read about last? When was the last time you read? maybe u need an accountability partner for getting to bed on time :P
from bluepetal :
Amy, is it ok to say that you are super coolie? ^_^ too late i already did!
from bluepetal :
aww, you can't NOT post for 2 days after making that kind of post! How are you doing with your reading? Devotion is always hard. I try to have private time with God daily after work and it's difficult but me and my hubby read ea. morning and that makes it easier. If you would like I can be your accountability partner in it or even "read" with you online via email/msgr let me know, k? *hugs Amy*
from onlygrace :
thanks for the birthday wishes... i wish you all the best..and hope you feel better. even when we think we failed Him, He still calls us His own. :)
from pippinsgirl :
of course I do! :)
from bluepetal :
*super hugs!* Sorry you were feeling down, I hope you are better now! hey, how old are u? are u in college, what's ur major if so? or what would you like it to be?
from bluepetal :
hey Amy! thx for wrtng me back :D i'm actually surprised u thought the movie blasphemous! I kept running into ads and comments about the movie so i thought i'd do some research (which is what's on my diary now) and loads of ppl who saw it thought it was "fine" and "very funny", but not against God or Christianity. I was upset by that and decided to get some concrete information and create an essay lol. I'm kinda crazy that way, but I didn't want you to think I did that just b/c of you - it's like on every forum I visit. To ans. your question, I'm 27...and a half :( starting to get old I guess lol. Well not "old" but I'm not college-aged anymore, which is strange since most of my friends are. NE Way, yes, drop me a note anytime! ~Rose
from bluepetal :
wow what made you want to see that Evan movie? seems v. blaspemous. We did see Fantastic Four yesterday and it was v. good... except for a few cuss words and using God's name in vain. The action was good.
from musicman6724 :
I'm glad you found out who sang the song. It was driving me mad. I remember that song vividly, but I couldn't remember the group. That was a great song, from a great time.
from onlygrace :
lol i didnt even realize the lyrics were on the entry! im such a nerd :) its a good song!
from onlygrace :
i think the song is called "i love you more today" by spiral starecase.. :) be well!
from onlygrace :
and that verse...thats what i was thinking of when i wrote the entry! :)
from onlygrace :
that sounds so splendid! what happened to your nose though? aw, im glad you're having a great summer, hopefully next year, mine will be just as nice... ♥
from onlygrace :
im not going anywhere this summer, so im really bummed about that. i WAS planning to take a trip down to Florida, but that didnt end up happening...so its just work and lots of shopping for college, for me this summer. ;) how's everything w/ you?! ♥
from fan4 :
I hope you have fun during your vacation. :)
from onlygrace :
=) my friend just said that to me...she got it from site somewhere, but its not from some movie/song or anything.. ive been having crazy dreams about certain people..some of which i wish would come true.. =/
from onlygrace :
hii, i just graduated on friday! cant wait for college..kinda wanted to go somewhere this summer, but alas, nothing exciting ever happens in my life. i really wanted to go somewhere this summer too, cause when college starts i know the summer classes will start as well... anyways, how are you? btw, thats probably MY FAVORITE tobymac song on portable sounds. :)

from superluckie :
Well, I've been in your position before a few years ago. There wasn't a definite hint from the other party, & I didn't want to be too initiative since it'd end up making things quite awkward. I'd already been initiative in my own way, such as sending emails, making phone calls, etc. In the end, I realised that the other party's feelings were less than lukewarm, & my own sentiments were dwindling too! Apart from the diminishing sentiments bit, can you relate to that? Lean more on God & commit to Him more deeply, dear sister-in-Christ! @--J--- 5 June 07
from superluckie :
Hey Amy, how is it that you're not asking him out then? Personally, I don't usually ask guys out.. If I'm interested in a guy (& if he's just an acquaintance or a friend), I'm probably too shy & conservative to ask him out. But then, you probably have your reasons. (grin). I didn't enjoy the movie as much because it was too predictable, but I'm really happy for you that you liked it. I felt the same about Xmen 3, Mission Impossible 3 & Spiderman 3 (grin).

Loneliness is something all of us can relate to, no matter where we are, no matter who we are with/without.. I feel like I haven't got much of a balanced, wholesome lifestyle nowadays too.. but I think it ultimately stems from my irregular attendance at cell group, & my laziness in praying & taking devotional notes. @--J--- 29 May 07
from superluckie :
I watched Pirates of the C. 3 on Saturday. You must've enjoyed it to wanna watch it again! I felt that it could've been shortened & more comprehensive. I don't think I want to watch well-advertised movies for a long time now cuz I think that the plots turn out to be quite disappointing, or long-winded or action-packed without logic considering all the fuss! Spiderman 3 & Xmen 3 was like that too. In fact, one of the best shows I watched this year was The Illusionist. No extremely famous actors were in it, nor was it that well advertised but I felt like applauding at the end of it. Oh yea, I must get back to writing a Bible diary! So far, I've been reading but I've stopped recording the things I learn!! Sigh! @--J--- 28 May 07

from superluckie :
Dear Amy, I'm glad to hear from you. A friend from Toronto also emailed me regarding my latest entries. I should start writing happier entries again. It's just that sometimes I need a place to "shout". I thought that by renting a church friend's room, I wouldn't have as many problems as before (such as transport inconveniences & yucky food) but I realise now that every path we take has its own set of challenges. That's part of being a Christian isn't it? It's just that with my landlord, there's no solution in the Bible to deal with an elderly man who likes my company. He doesn't mean me any harm, but I don't feel comfortable. I need lotsa encouragement so that I'll feel hopeful & that I won't to get too bothered by this trial. @--}--- 13 May 07

hmmm, how about going outside for some fresh air? Well, it's not so fresh over here in FL because of all the fires. It depends on where you're at... :)

you know, im always reminded of that, but for some reason, i never stop feeling alone. but thanks for the reminder..:) i cant ever be reminded TOO many times of that fact. i hope youuu had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying THIS week as well! ♥

Yah, I know. But since I come from Singapore, I'm sure there're lotsa desserts which I haven't tried before/don't know about so I wouldn't be able to come up with the type of dessert & search for the respective recipes! But anyway, there's a long summer holiday coming up, yes? @--}---

i was just frustrated at people, and MYSELF, for letting others walk all over them. that was all. =)
from superluckie :
I can't wait till Gd Friday! But it's not because I can't wait to commemorate the day Jesus died - it's more like the amount of coursework is overwhelming & I can't wait to have a break & head to the talk at an Easter convention at the Blue Mountains & I look so forward to spending more time on Bible reading & note-taking!

happy birthday?!

it currently feels like summer in nyc, but on friday its gonna snow! and on the weekend its gonna drop to the 20s, so there goes that! :) hope everything is splendiddddd!!!!!!!!!
from onlygrace :
my weekend was like any other--boring! but i got much needed sleep in, because after so long, i had NO tests to study for! so that made me really happy. :) thanks for wishing for the best though! maybe next weekend!? ;) take care! i hope you had a great/enjoyable weekend! by the way, have you heard the music from rebecca st. james' brothers? :) theyre amazing!

wow, free tickets and everything? thats sOOO cool! :)
from onlygrace :
actually, it was through AIR1 that i got the chance to talk to jars of clay on the phone. ;)
from onlygrace :
ive always wanted to win one of those radio contests, and one time i did...ended up getting a free newsboys concert. but AIR1 is wayyy more popular, so hope it works out, cause that WOULD be cool! :)
from onlygrace :
their CD's...every one of 'em has amazed me. theyre pretty much amazing. id LOVE to see 'em in concert. they always come to nyc, but theyre always here when im broke! ;)
from superluckie :
Oh yes there were other bits which caused me to look away, which is why I forgot to mention them! One of the supporting actresses was dancing very seductively & she was scantily clad in a few scenes. Plus a huge Buddha statue during the last few scenes. Sigh. Why must a simple plot be injected with such redundant secular additions?! @--}--- 6 March 2007
from superluckie :
The MPAA rating was PG-13, cuz there was one night scene where the two main characters were kissing & the next scene was in the daytime where both of them were asleep. That scene wasn't necessary. Besides that, the music & the lyrics were enjoyable. For a wholesome romantic show for Christians, watch "A Walk to Remember" (Mandy Moore & Shane West), which is based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks! My brother & my mom watched it together & they enjoyed it too! @--}--- 6 March 2007

You're right! I did indeed spend each day of that extra week in Sydney doing something fruitful! Fricatives are consonants produced by forcing air through a narrow channel.

you dont like switchfoot much anymore? "awakening" is so good!
from musicman6724 :
I still like Switchfoot, but I'm with you...I don't get that song. They seem to be getting farther away from the message. "Relevant" magazine called them the best Christian band who could be atheists. Hmm....guess that says a lot. I still like "Politicians," though.

I liked learning about blood types in my Human Genetics class.
from onlygrace :
the oprah special was about her building the school for the girls in africa. i saw a preview of it on one of her shows this week, and i cried within 5 mins, so it was a must-watch for me. and i never got the chance to see Amazing Grace, which im so annoyed about, but i plan too, soon. its kinda sad that it didnt do as well as i wanted it to, in the box office. =/

from superluckie :
I looked up Amazing Grace on the internet. The storyline does appeal to me but I don't think it's gonna be shown in Sydney! I'd really like to watch The Pursuit of Happyness! I just can't find anyone interested to watch it with me! Would you watch a movie (in a cinema) alone? I know some people who do! My 1st semester started on Monday. A uni staff member (stupidly) asked me to come back a week earlier. So I changed my flight date. When I arrived in Sydney, I realised I didn't have to leave home so early after all. Sigh! I then spent a few days meeting up with friends. Life doesn't always turn out the way we want it to, but (shrug) c'est la vie! @--}---
from superluckie :
I didn't go surfing after all! (See http://superluckie.diaryland.com/070227_59.html) Yep, I'll pray about your walk with God, your studies & your sign language classes. You oughta get started on daily devotion again! Try making notes while reading the Bible? Making notes helps me remember what I read better & makes Bible reading more meaningful. After what Christ has done for us (1000s of years ago, as well as now), devoting time to Bible reading would be the least we could do! Amen? @--}--- 27 Feb 2007
from onlygrace :
thanks for the note. i think with all my frustration w/ certain people, He's just reminding me that i need to lean on Him more, rather than on people. id rather put my confidence in God than in people.

from superluckie :
All's fair in love & war? Whatever caused you to quote that dear Amy? You know, last night, I realised, God is such a wonderful Father. Not to devote time to pray (WITH FAITH) is letting Him down. I've been praying for accommodation closer to uni, yet I don't want to live with people I don't know. God has heard my prayer & I shall explain more once things are more settled.

After studying in Canada in 2003, I realise there were many things in Singapore which I'd taken for granted, such as cycling by the sea. Still, Sydney's got a large stretch of beach which I visit at least once a year (can't cycle cuz of the abundant sand but it's much cleaner & lovelier) Landscapes with water can be so breathtaking! Has Kentucky got any rivers or lakes? The Little Mermaid is a must watch, especially if you're a fan of Disney cartoons! Are you? @--}---

aw, i hope the movie ends up being good, but from what i can see from the trailers it looks like one of those life-changing movies, which i love! :) i hope your mom's boss ends up having a change of heart. that IS what youre hoping for right? :)
from superluckie :
You make going to the beach sound like a grand occasion! (grin) Whichever state/city you're from.. is it near any beaches? Yep, one of the joys of coming from a tropical city would be the countless days of sunshine unless it's the monsoon season! @--}---
from superluckie :
This stretch of beach, known as East Coast Park, is unique because it has very little sand, & breakwaters, grass, pavements, benches restaurants & shops are a common sight along the beach. You can see a water skiing area while the sea is in the distance! (http://superluckie.diaryland.com/070214_41.html)

Yea, my mom said she married late for her time (11 years after she met my pa) & hence, I was born about a year after they got married! Like the pictures of the beach?

from ethereal-red :
I love your layout!
from superluckie :
I wished I'd worn a pair of jeans because there were people down below =) ..So you & your mom are 28 years apart in age? Is that considered a typical parent-child age gap in USA? During the 1980s, mothers generally gave birth in their 20s. But I know my paternal grandma got married at 16 (match-making was common in Singapore before World War II) & had children soon after! @--}---
from superluckie :
Hm.. I'll see if I could wear braces while doing my Masters programme. How old is your mom? Now I can see why you're pretty close to your mom - a closer age gap helps!In a few days, I won't be able to see her for a long time! So take my advice: Spend lotsa quality time with your mom doing things together, chatting, etc! Alrighty, now I know why you're keen on learning sign language. I'd like to learn another language too. Do you play any musical instruments by the way? I was thinking of learning how to play the bamboo flute (an oriental musical instrument)! @--}---

Anyway, the past is past. Why are you learning sign language? How do you intend to practise? (Practice helps since it helps one retain the theory bits better!)

this winter has been so weird and we've had the least snow in nyc this year than any other in my lifetime, i think. at first, i wanted snow all the time, but lately whenever it snows its been messing up my plans because no one wants to drive/ get out of the house. =/ so yeah, snow is great, but now, im kinda glad its been a mild winter. ♥
from onlygrace :
ive known how to "finger spell" since i was like 8 years old! :)
from superluckie :
Being single has its advantages & blessings, just as being in a relationship has its bonuses. God has a plan for everyone, & thus, there's a reason why you are single now, like I am! Ever since I was a teenager, I've encountered young men like the one you mentioned in your latest entry. I think it's just your pride that has been affected. God's love is everlasting, unlike attention from young men, so be faithful in prayer & trust in God! @--}---

"Lord, help me to trust you. You have the perfect person picked out for me." --> thats my favorite part. i keep reminding myself of this and so i really related to your entry. =)

from onlygrace :
i love your entry. you took the words right out of my HEART.
from onlygrace :
whats been on my heart? hmm, Jesus has been on my heart lately. even though the answer may sound cliched, its true. i just want to fall in love w/ Him again. also, someone in particular has been in my heart. and yes, its a boy, but its nothing like THAT. he's just going through some difficult things, so ive decided to pray for him more. btw, i make the hearts by pressing the ALT button and the number 3 at the same time! ♥ :) hope you had a great weekend! im sorry to see mine gone, already. grrr

from onlygrace :
funny, how all these designers have stopped designing and have stopped running their sites. =/ its so hard to find a good layout anymore, which is why im sticking to the one i have now. personally, i like the first one! :) be blessed, and be a blessing! take care!

Your guestbook entries haven't inspired me to write to you. I'm not mad at you. (Nor am I "made" at you either.)
from onlygrace :
haha, that was such a random entry! =)
from superluckie :
The trip really was a blessing from God. Many family & friends made an effort to help make things go comfortably & smoothly for my mom & I.. The weather was unusually mild.. I listened to an excellent sermon on New Year's eve.. I had the nicest rice porridge & wonton.. I visited quite a few lovely cities! Do underline good verses or make a mark when you come across a verse you can apply. I started reading Joshua last month. I’m moving on from Ruth to 1 Samuel now. Through that, I hope to know the order of the Biblical books by heart! Keep up the Bible reading! How's school? @--}---
from fan4 :
Amy, I don't send notes to the wrong people. I'm jealous of the relationship you have with your mom. You talked to superluckie about it, and it prompted a note from me.
from fan4 :
I wish I were close to my mom, but I'm not.
from superluckie :
Incidentally, "deaf people" & "Deaf people" refer respectively to those who see their hearing loss as a problem that needs to be remedied, & to those who consider themselves as part of a Deaf community! It was pretty cold in Ontario & Quebec (I visited cities in both provinces - can't wait to show you some pictures!). But still, it oughta be colder. There was very little snow as compared to 3 years ago! The thought of global warming makes me feel sad & I've been doing my part as God's child to help! Using cold water instead of warm/hot water to wash dishes, for example, helps! Did you get as "little" snow as Toronto? @--}---
from superluckie :
Dear Amy, happy new year! How have you been? Regarding your entry dated 10 Jan 2007, have you got a book in which you write down a summary or meaningful verses when reading the Bible? There's a difference between Bible reading & Bible study! Oh yes, do you know sign language varies from region to region? There're even dialects! I never knew this but it really made sense when an Audiology lecturer told me so!
from onlygrace :
yeah, school sucks. =/ and yes, "sound of melodies" is by leeland. i also love article one. theyre a new band though. dont worry, just check em out whenever you have the chance! hope all is well.
from onlygrace :
i hope you checked out leeland, i think you'd like em!
from onlygrace :
i loved jars of clay's new cd, i just think they're reinventing themseleves, and theyve become so "folky" and whatnot. i LOVED them since the beginning and LOVE 'em even more now. seriously, change is never a bad thing. i love dan with eyeliner too, lol! :) jars of clay can do no wrong in my book, and mirrors and smoke is my favorite song off the album. :)

I'm way behind when it comes to reading diaries. I don't know when I'll get around to reading yours again.

Your constant complaining about my guestbook is driving me crazy!
from fan4 :
Lots of things have been on my mind. Sometimes I miss friendships that were severed awhile back. This year, money will be tighter than usual, only I don't know what my new weekly allowance will be. My dad has yet to tell me that. My Shakespeare class requires lots of reading. I may start work on that tomorrow. I have two assignments (one from my Human Genetics Class, one from my Shakespeare class) due next week. Normally I spend a lot of my freetime online (especially on weekends), but I'll have to cut back with the internet in order to do my readings and get both assignments finished on time. I met a guy named Brian last year. He visited the UW for some reason, and he gave me a note saying that he thought I was cute! I've never recieved such a note! I thought me and him would be able to become friends, but he had to go back home to Colorado. He said he wanted to be penpals, yet he never did respond to my intro. letter. He didn't acknowledge my Christmas card either. I have some penpal letters I haven't responded to yet. One is from a girl named Isis who I feel close to. Replying to her (whenever I'm able to do that) will be no problem. Responding to the other letter though....that'll be a challenge. That penpal did some things in her letter which annoyed me. (she probably wasn't intentionally trying to annoy me.) I'm still trying to figure out a way I can tell her about the things I dislike without coming across as a complete jerk.
from fan4 :
I still say you're missing out when it comes to pets.

I check my guestbook, no new message from you. I was very dissapointed.

Hey Amy, thank you for your concern! I'd like to lock my online diary because there're too many "personal" entries in there. But I'd like to continue reaching out to others via my entries so I'm not sure what to do! Anyway, what are your plans for this week? @--}---
from fan4 :
Thanks for re-adding my diary on your favorites list.

I'll be at home, exchanging presents with my parents. :)

I'd like to be friends with you again. Please forgive me for not being nice to you.
from superluckie :
Dear Amy, I'm still alive! And I've unlocked my diary! I'm thinking of locking it soon but I'm just "thinking about it" for now. Anyway, how have you been? I hope to hear from you personally! God touched me so much during the camp - & my brother too! I'm still trying to keep up with updating despite my busy schedule! How was the whitening process? @--}---
from onlygrace :
okay tricia needs to stop this retardedness and stop acting like an immature 5 year old. but ANYWAYS, leeland is amazing! michael w. smith is in full support of them. you can check them out at leeland.com or myspace.com/leelandmusic because i can talk about them forever, but you'll never know or UNDERSTAND the true extent of how amazing they really are, 'til you HEAR them! :)
from fan4 :
Please don't talk about me in your diary again.

I still think you like your other friends better than me, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
from fan4 :
Thanks Amy. :)
from superluckie :
The measurements I use are based on the international system of units (SI). I don’t understand why there must be other forms of measurements to confuse un-mathematical people like me. Anyway, it’s 20 deg C now – cooling considering it’s December. Deg C is used in Sydney & in Singapore. You must read the Purpose Driven Life! I like fiction books but the Purpose Driven Life is something like Chicken Soup for the Soul. It’s non-fiction but very inspirational! Do you like the Chicken Soup series? Thanks for the diary ring instructions! I'm packing my luggage right now! Please pray that I'll have a safe flight home! @--}---
from fan4 :
Besides, I think you have more in common with onlygrace and superluckie than me anyway.
from fan4 :
I don't think our friendship will be able to work out this time. You're all crazy about white Christmas's, while I'm not. I never will be crazy about them either.
from onlygrace :
im not too fond of blizzards either, besides the school closings of course! =) just a few inches is definitely needed. this 65 degree weather in december is annoying me. i want freezing temperatures! <33 have you ever heard of Leeland? check 'em out. :)
from superluckie :
Thanks for the note again, Amy! I like hearing from you! How's the weather like over there now? It was cooler on Tue & Wed. Thankfully I didn't go to the beach today cuz the heat iss sweltering! Have you ever heard of/read the Purpose Driven Life by the way? Oh yes, how would members join a diaryring? @--}---

and i still love you and your notes. :)
from onlygrace :
wow. what the heck is up HER butt?
from fan4 :
Do me a favor and stop mentioning White Christmas to me. I now find notes from you to be annoying.
from fan4 :
Besides, Christmas is Christmas regardless of the weather.

I live in Washington state, and I dislike snow.

I can speak English, Mandarin (the mainstream Chinese language) & a Chinese dialect called Hokkien. It's so phonemically/phonetically different from Mandarin that some consider them the same language, while some consider them different. Do you & Phillip live with anyone else? In some cultures, parent-child love isn’t expressed by hugs, kisses or “I love you”s. Instead, the family members do things for each other (e.g. financial support, doing household chores). Clearly, love is expressed differently worldwide. My pa comes from that kind of family while my mom comes from a more expressive one. Interesting eh? Luckily my pa is more loving to me & my brother than his parents were to him. Still, Like you, I’m closer to my mom. She’s my 2nd best friend. Jesus is my 1st, naturally! @--}---

Maybe in your state Christmas is supposed to be white, but I live in the Pacific Northwest. There's a song about this region which says Christmas over here can be green.

My Thanksgiving was okay.
from superluckie :
Thanks, Amy! Actually, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia. Nor in Singapore. I've only celebrated Thanksgiving once, & that was when I was studying Canada (held in October). My last exam's on Monday! I can't wait till all this is over! How was Thanksgiving? @--}---
from superluckie :
Two older brothers! So.. do you three live together? It’s interesting how we use different terms to express the same concepts! I term my 3 main meals breakfast, lunch & dinner. To me, tea’s a late afternoon snack (after lunch) & supper is a late evening snack (after dinner). Secondary school (a secondary institution) is equivalent to high school. In Sydney, kids attend primary school, then high school. In Singapore, kids attend primary school, then secondary school. Tertiary institution refers an institution which offers diploma/degree courses. When you mentioned “small”, were you referring to the church size or the congregation? In Singapore, my Methodist church is big-sized with hundreds of members. In Sydney, my Anglican church is big-sized with a small Mandarin-speaking congregation. I like it that way cuz everyone’s familiar with each other. Lately, I’ve been attending an English-speaking Presbyterian church with an even smaller congregation! What sorta denomination does your church belong to? Conner does sound very cute. Why was your mom baby-sitting him? You’ve signed my guestbook before – in it is a snapshot of one of Singapore’s performing arts theatre called The Esplanade cuz it’s located next to the Singapore River! Singapore is the smallest Southeast Asian country, it’s a city-state on an island, & is a dot on the atlas right below Malaysia. So Malaysia is within walking distance for some of the residents, depending on where they live! It’s known to be a fine country because there’re many fines imposed on law-breaking. E.g. no chewing is allowed to be sold in Singapore! (People used to stick them everywhere so the government banned it about 15 years ago.) The majority of Singaporeans are of Chinese heritage, followed by those of Malay heritage, then those of Indian heritage. They're generally bilingual/trilingual. There're 4 official languages: English, Chinese, Malay & Tamil (an Indian language) so signs in all 4 languages are common! @--}---

I turned 20 two months ago so that's an 18month generation gap between us (grin). I feel kinda bad typing that entry about that boy. I felt that he could've asked more diplomatically "Is Singapore independnet?" rather than "Is Singapore part of China?" As a Christian, I should be more tolerant & understanding because I'm not very wise either. Now's my turn to ask questions! Is your supper my version of dinner? So what sorta church do you attend? & are you part of any Bible study or youth group? When you mentioned that you attend college, is that a secondary/tertiary institution? Do you attend any clubs/societies too? @--}---
from fan4 :
My dad took me to church last night, and it's a good thing he did because I made two new friends. :)
from superluckie :
Oh yea, there's Psalm 139 too. Whenever I read this chapter, I'm awed by the fact that God had planned my existence before I was conceived, that He has a plan for me after my life on earth ends, & that He is with me every day, everywhere, all the time. I know "favourite" should be at the top of the list, but when it comes to Bible verses, colours (God's creation), food & other wonderful stuff, I have lotsa favourites! (grin) @--}---
from superluckie :
When I was in kindergarten & primary sch, it was green. In secondary sch, either azure or denim blue. It was just blue in 2003. Lately, I like sapphire blue, the blue & green variations of aquamarine! As for Bible verses, it used to be Proverbs 31:30 & Habakkuk 3:17. For the past 2 years or 3, it has been Romans 12:12 but there're so many other wonderful verses which I seek to apply daily, such as Proverbs 30:8. Have you got a favourite chapter? I like Psalm 119 very much. @--}---
from fan4 :
Please pray that I'll start feeling comfortable in church again, and that the hiatus I've been taking from there will end. I added "superluckie" to my friends list. You two seem to be hitting it off very good. I wish I had a friend at the UW.
from superluckie :
After living abroad these few years, I’ve realised travelling (as in touring) vs residing in a foreign city aren't the same! Have you been overseas before? My country (Singapore) is a developed city on an island with smaller surrounding islands, so I can’t “travel” in my country! Yes, we sure are blessed to have been born in a Christian family. Some of my friends from my Bible study have parents who are against it/wary of it. Have you recovered? Do update soon! Have a great day & God bless you! @--}---

One of my Diaryland friends had that quiz in her diary. Her element was oxygen. If you scroll down to the bottom of the screen, there should be a link which'll take you to the quiz.

Hi Amy, my name's Joy! I was born in Singapore, then I studied in Canada (refer to my 2003 entries) before switching all the way to Australia due to various factors. Initially, I chided myself for "giving up" on Ottawa but God had planned all this & I've grown spiritually in Sydney - more than ever before too! How about you? Where were you born & where do you live now? How/when did you become a Christian? @--}---

Hi Amy, I happened to come across your online diary today & I can relate to many of your entries! It’s good to know that there’re fellow diaryland writers like you who share about their relationship with God in their entries. I haven’t read every entry, but I’ve skimmed through a few – I especially like the entry entitled “Thoughts on Worship”. Keep it up with your daily devotion! @--}---

In other words, I have no idea what book I'll read next.
from fan4 :
I don't make plans Amy.

It's an okay book, I guess. Safeway had a book sale, and that's where I bought it. The copyright date is 1994. so I'm not sure whether or not it's still in print.
from onlygrace :
hosea 2. jeremiah 2. just some of the verses that have been bringing me to tears recently. oh, and bethany dillon's latest album" "be near" and "hallelujah" along with "New" are just some song lyrics ive been reading. but as in BOOKS, nope. havent been reading any, with school and all. =( next summer i definitely will though. :) take care.
from fan4 :
"God works the Night Shift" reminds people that God is present in people's lives, even when they think he's not doing anything. Some chapter titles include "He Is Remembering Me", "He Is Loving Me", and "He Is Moving Others to Pray for Me". I'll probably finish reading this book either this week or next week.
from fan4 :

Are you currently reading anything? I'm reading "God works the Night Shift" by Ron Mehl

Did you read the long entry I wrote about a "party" I attended last Thursday?

No, I haven't read it. I'm behind on reading diaries. I'm behind on lots of stuff actually.

I don't remember how long I've known Jenn, but she's a very special friend. I wish she were getting married to a local guy....
from fan4 :
I'm currently reading two books in the "Chicken soup for the Soul" series. One is for cat lovers, and the other is for singles. Jenn will have a goodbye party this coming Thursday (Today is Monday), which I'll be attending. I have yet to call Gretchen about that though. (Normally I spend my Thursday nights at Gretchen's house, but she said I could attend Jenn's party if I wanted to do so.) Classes for Fall Quarter will start on Wednesday. I'm not ready to go back to college! Where did my Summer Break go off to?

jars of clay's new cd is sooooooooooooo amazing! i sing "dead man" all the time around the house, and everywhere. :) they never cease to amaze me! :) hows life!
from fan4 :
I'll go back to college a week from today. Meh. I don't want my break to end! I'm not ready to go back! Most of my library books are ready to be returned. I only have two left to finish reading. On 9-19-06, I gave Jenn a friendship card. She now owns something that'll remind her of me. I wish she weren't moving to New Zealand. I'm really, really, really going to miss her. I posed a poll-type question in a message board, but apparently i messed that up. It wasn't until I did some clarification that I recieved the replies I wanted to recieve. I have mixed feelilngs concerning Cartoon Network's new FF cartoon. A woman named Peggy (who works in my Church) would like me to spend time with some kids. It would be most convenient for me to volunteer to work with the kids on Sunday Evenings, but then I'd miss out on the Passage service. Peggy suggested that I help out during Sunday mornings, but I don't know if any of my friends would be available to give me rides.

I had to memorize that poem for my Craft of Verse class. It's in the anthology book I purchased for CoV. I did my recital today. One less thing to worry about. Next thing I have to do is work on a poetry critique (maybe I'll start that tomorrow), and then create my Poetry Portfolio.

Hi Amy... I've just read what you wrote me, i'm glad of it, sincerly. I understand what you tell me in french, don't worry, I told you that you spoke very well for a "beginner" and even if you still have things to learn, our langage is one of the must difficults in the world... Here, everything is alright for me, I hope that everything is alright for you in USA too. I have a lot of things to tell you but in a message, it's gonna be short so I gonna answer to your questions... My job is interessant but I wanna change it soon, for many reasons that it would be complicated to explain you in a message. My favourite color is close to yours, it's violet... (i like orange too) What can I tell you furthermore ? I love a lot of things : nature, sport, music, travels, writing, photos, discovering another cultures, another landscapes, another people... I'm very openminded and curious. You seem to be too, that's why I keep on writing you, I don't forget you and hope you'll answer me soon. Tell me more about you next time, I will next time too... Whatever you want, I'll be happy Amy. A bientôt ! Marc

Hi Amy :-) As promised, I write you this little message, hoping that everything is alright for you since Thursday... I feel good, even if I'm a bit tired (and was a bit tired at work yesterday morning, no matter! :-)) I was really happy to talk to you, even if it was too short and by playing cards (but if I didn't decide to play cards, I wouldn't have discovered, so...) You seem to be someone very interesting Amy, very nice, dynamic and clever (when i see how you speak french whereas you've been practising this langage for 2 years)... I hope you'll write me soon (in french, no I joke :-) ), when you want and if you always want to. Your diary and what you're talking about into are very interesting, sometimes funny, sometimes serious, and even when it's funny, i feel something serious behind. I hope to read you very soon, keep on staying who you are. Bye Bye... Marc, at only 6500 kilometers... (6500 little kilometers) :-)

I used to be a member of various Yahoo cat groups, and that poem was posted in one of them. I had it in my inbox for awhile, then decided I no longer needed it in there.

When a diary's on my fave. list, I do read the entries. When I'm no longer able to relate to a Diarylander, I remove their diary from my favorite list. When I accused you of not reading my entries, I didn't expect to be right! I'm feeling angry and hurt about your decision to stop reading my entries. Yes, I do commute to college.

I remember a while ago I wrote a prayer and you said it "echoed" your heart...this entry completely "echoed" the feelings in my heart! It's a struggle to find time for God nowadays, and I feel tremendously guilty. I want to remove these petty, silly distractions from my life, but it's hard. It's weird, cause like the guy I like is the one that reminds me to really pray sometimes. We'll get on the phone and he'll make me pray with him...and then after our phone call I'll pray to God by myself. Sometimes without him, I think I would have forgotten...weirdness. But it's a difficulty. And I pray for youu...and MEEE to get through this. I feel so guilty..HE has done so much for me, and I can never give him half of my time. :( Take care.

Lol, I like the random things in your diary. I complain about my hips too. But true, about the childbirth thing. Though, I am not planning to have children anytime soon. Oh the posture thing--me too! I have the worst posture. When I stand up straight I grow like 2 inches because it's so bad. And the related thing--we're all related to Adam and Noah. So I guess you can say that. Though it's nasty saying you're dating your one millionth cousin or whatever...just the word 'cousin' makes it weird so...yeah. There that's my random ramblings :) TTYL - McKenna

Hey good luck with the ACT. I wonder how I did on the PLAN test? It was harder than last year's for sure. Lol I love that song. I'm not sure if I'm going to Sadie's cuz it's way too much drama to get a guy. I don't know.

Thanks for the advice on Romans 8:28. I'll ask my theology teacher about it too. I've been getting lots of good advice lately :) October 1st--that was my Homecoming! Good times. Have you had yours yet? Oh about Haloween, I don't like the holiday, except for free candy, but I don't go trick-or-treating anymore. It's just, the whole scary thing about it just bothers me. Like, people jumping out at you and going "Boo!" And all the other stuff. I'm just not into it. My three favorite holidays are Christmas, my birthday, and Friday the 13th. And yes it is a holiday. Well, to me ;) And about the ACT, I took the PLAN tests, which are like ACTs. Those always scare me, it's like, they're reminding me how close to college I am. I'm so scared I'm not going to get accepted to any of them. Although I might be a foreign exchange student probably sometime in college, since I'm going to be a Spanish teacher with the writing thing. Good luck with the ACT. TTYL, McKenna
from wait4you :
Lol, your first proposal. You must feel so proud of yourself. Lol you are awesome though, Cheryl's right about that. Thanks for answering my question. You like answering questions? I love asking people them. It's what I do when I'm having a conversation with, let's say, some cute guy. I ask him about sports, or I compliment him on something. I've realized compliments are the best conversation starter. Oh, I just got to the part about your first crush. Wow, still, after first grade? I asked out this boy in 8th grade, but he never went out with me, even thoug he liked me more than a friend. Why, you may ask? He didn't know what going out meant! So I say "boyfriend/girlfriend" and he goes "...Huh?" and was all clueless. So I'm all "Uh, nevermind. happy confirmation!" Good times. But still, they're like "Why'd you like Ryan?" I should post an entry bout that funny story sometime. My confirmation party was fun, too. Good times, good times :) Hm, you're a senior? Didn't know that. I'm a sophomore. It's alright I guess. You get a fall break? One day, ooh, that's a good break lol. We get Wednesday left because of the PLAN testing, which is like a pre-ACT. After that I go shopping! I'm really excited about that. Gotta love shopping and chocolate lol. One more thing--thanks for the note about Romans 8:28. What does it mean, though, the last part "called according to his purpose"? Like, only if He feels like he wants the problem to be resolved? And we have to have a certain amount of faith to fix it? I thought He liked to see us happy. Ah, I'll know, I mean, He has in a way. He does fix things. Alright that's all I've got to say, talk to you later! --McKenna

Aw, I'm so sorry bout him. I'll pray for him. And you got your hair permed? So is it natuarally straight? Mine's naturally curly and I'd pay to make it straight!

I'm doing okay. I spent most of today at the Science Center. My dad took me there, and we watched three IMAX movies. The first one dealt with the moon, and it had 3-D effects. The other movies (which weren't 3-D) dealt with Vikings and Dolphins. My dad wanted to see the Viking movie, so I decided to be nice. I didn't enjoy it though. I'm not happy that my Summer break's almost over. I go back to the UW on 9-26-05. Vacations from college never last long enough, IMO. I'm going to go now. I want to check my e-mail.
from wait4you :
You had See You At The Pole at your school, too? Cool; I wanted to do it but most of my friends didn't want to. I wish I did go out anyway, though. I really want to start doing a Bible study at school because I really want to grow in my faith and meet some great Christian girls who will help me do so (It's an all-girls Bible study). Thanks for adding me in your entry :-) Made me feel special lol. In response to that, I'd be happy to; it's fun being a reviewer cuz I used to be one, but I just wanna say that with school and all, I might be kind of slow. Like, does she want me reviewing the whole diary? That's what I used to have to do. Or I'd skim through each entry. I don't know; but yeah sounds fun. I'm good, by the way, thanks :-) Joseph is adorable! I love babies; so innocant and cute :-) Take care, McKenna
from katelyn31 :
Wow I read that one entry you put down and dude that sucks! I wonder why they did that? Anyway I just thought it was a lil creepy bc they share only what an eighth of blood family? Something like that anyway later
from katelyn31 :
Hey that Virgil's Wedding sounds funny! What part did you audition for? Well whoever it was I hope you get it. I hope you have fun at the wedding it sounds kinda creepy the you put her and her cousin are so alike! So yeah I hope that you have fun with Kasey I bet it sucks that you dont get to see her a lot. Well later
from wait4you :
Hey, I read the entry you told me to. So yeah I understand. Thanks for putting me on your buddy list :-) I put you on mine too. So you're going to a wedding tomorrow? I love weddinds! I love getting dressed up and all of that. I'm a girly-girl, loves pink, shopping, etc. Hope you have a good time! Dance and have fun! Take care, McKenna
from free2dream :
Aw I'm Indian!! I hope you like the food! It might be really spicy for you so be prepared!
from free2dream :
Read my entry. =}
from wait4you :
Hey, I'm McKenna, I just left free2dream a note and saw your note there (Hey free2dream if you see this!=)) So yeah, I decided to check out your diary. It's nice! You're taking French? I've always wanted to take French but our school doesn't offer it anymore...anyways awesome Bible verse for your profile, that was my graduation verse for 8th grade, and it's such an inspiring verse too...anyways so that's it, just wanted to say hi and I like your diary :=) Take care, McKenna
from free2dream :
I'm myself through and through. And he thinks I'm weird. But in a good way. :) Well he says I'm NORMAL but NORMAL is weird since everyone is weird so if there's a person that's normal, they're considered weird cause everyone else is WEIRD....see? This is our way of communicating? We confuse eachother...mostly the confusion is on HIS behalf..I'm forever the confused fool. :)
from free2dream :
Love songs? I can list a BIJILLION from MWS or SCC alone! They write the most awesome love songs to their wives, it's amazing. It would actually be a difficult assignment for me because of the vast amounts of choices I would have. :) I'm good. I'm waiting on a phone call from...guess who? lol :) Also...finished up my homework and getting ready for a full week of stupid school. BOO! :( :)
from free2dream :
I absolutely love that SCC song! One of my favorite and FUTURE wedding songgs!!
from updropsfaith :
your entries are adorable. just wanted to let ya know that i've changed passwords for my diary. God bless! u/n: sothisislife p/w: byandrea
from free2dream :
Your entries are fun.
from free2dream :
Computers can be mean! I agree! Entries I wrote so much on are usually deleted. That's why I usually end up writing my entries on notepad on some other document processing program thingy. And then I save it. A BIJILLION TIMES. =]
from free2dream :
Thanks for answering my questions! Wow are you really that short?
from free2dream :
Question tiime! =] What is your favorite book in the world, besides the Bible? What are the biggest goals/dreams you have for yourself and do you think you can ever accomplish them? Take caare!
from free2dream :
I suck at updating on diaryland! =[
from free2dream :
Aw I didnt get to leave you questions. Am I too LATE? =[
from pippinsgirl :
I liked the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie, too. It was really unexpected--the previews to me looked really disappointing but when I saw it all in the right context, I was pleased. I like your new layout as well...and I liked the old one, too, and the one before that, but yeah anyway. Three questions, here we go: (1) How will you make this school year a better one? (2) Who is the most important person on earth to you right now? and (3) Have you ever owned a pair of orange socks?
from free2dream :
I heart Johnny Depp.
from free2dream :
I just RE-fall in love with your layout every time.
from free2dream :
=]
from updropsfaith :
hmmm...three questions...1.] how was the day with your cousins? 2.] when do you guys go back to school? 3.] what's your class ring look like, if you have one? lol. MAJOR hearts for the new layout...i'm totally drooling. God bless, sweetie!
from free2dream :
I came down with a cold on Saturday but I killed it, thank goodness. =] Colds are the worst thing in the entire universe.
from free2dream :
The layout is awesome..but then again you're awesome too. =]
from fan4 :
Where are the previous and next buttons?
from free2dream :
Yepp! I'm getting braces this summer! I was supposed to get it when I was about 13...but ah well. I just want to get it and get it over with. I LONG to smile. =]
from free2dream :
My favorite part of PoTC?? umm i cant really name it because i haven't seen it in a WHIIILE. ill tell you when ive seen it recently. SAAAVY?
from free2dream :
Aw BIRTHDAYS are always fun! Um...rats are NOT however. =[
from free2dream :

from lunamagae :

from havechosen :
Wow! I'm so excited! Yes, I designed the template myself. Why don't you e-mail me, ok? tessalation at gmail dot com. Now I have to go browse your site!
from free2dream :
of course...hiii!!!!!!!!!!!!! ill write more later but right now is SLEEPING time. (its 2am!!)
from updropsfaith :
hey girl...i'm sorry it's taken so long to write back! lol...here's my message translated: Ah, another French student! I'm liking my break, and I am happy to hear that yours is going well too. My preferred color is red, and my birthday takes place on October 6. I am so happy you speak French, too! Although it is completely difficult to remember all of it... and that's it! keep in touch...i'm praying for ya. :)
from free2dream :
THANK YOU for not being like that either! =]
from updropsfaith :
Ah, un autre étudiant français! J'apprécie vraiment mes vacances, et je suis heureux d'entendre que vôtre va bien. Ma couleur préférée est rouge, et mon anniversaire a lieu le 6 octobre. Je suis si heureux vous parlez français, aussi! Bien qu'il soit tout ŕ fait difficile de se rappeler le tout... thanks so much for the note, girl!! i already read the entry about your restrictions, so no worries, dear. i completely understand and hope that we can kinda just drop a note here and there to check up on each other. i'm praying for ya!! :)
from updropsfaith :
hidy! my name's andrea. i LOVE potc!! lol and i also love your diary. hope ya don't mind - i'm adding you to my favs! [u/n] lockbox [p/w] key God bless!!!!!
from hardcorefan- :
ROFL!!! I say sweet Hannah about everything, you know, instead of sweet Jesus or something. I just use Hannah. I usually say, "Sweet Hannah in Heaven!" I was like, "I called Amy Hannah...what?!!?" I'm such a dork, I'm sorry. However, yes, your answers did satisfy my curiosity. :)
from free2dream :
ah im such a fool! =] when i wrote that i had a FEEEELING i was wrong. but i wrote it anyways! Take caaare! COngrats anyways!
from hardcorefan- :
I had read restricted-that's why I got all of these thoughts of your parents being weird. And by weird, I mean over protective. I understand being cautious, but sweet Hannah, you're not 10 years old. Anyways, yes, rebellious little you...I'm really glad the dress wasn't too big for you-it was very beautiful, as I'm sure you are, though I can't tell because the blot ate your head. Haha! J/k! Well, dear, I'm going to pass out now!
from free2dream :
Congratulations! =] Off to college now..*tear* they grow up so fast!
from hardcorefan- :
I'm not understanding why you blotted out your face...you looked beautiful, btw. I loved your dress! I'm glad you had a good time. What's the deal with your parents being so weird? If you can't answer, I understand. You can email me at hardcorefan4jesus@yahoo.com though, if you don't want to leave a note/comment with that stuff in there, if you want to tell me at all. I'm being so weird, sorry!
from pippinsgirl :
And as always, I'm late returning notes. I'm getting out of school on the 26th, too, and though I'm kind of excited for the summer, I find myself wishing I could have spent the rest of my junior year a little more wisely...or taken more risks, God-wise. But at the same time I don't want to get stuck wishing. It's cool that you're not stressed out over the banquet thing or caught up in any of that last-days-of-school-worries that lots of kids always seem to have... Hope you're still holding out. :)
from free2dream :
I'm sick today! How wonderful and dandy. =] Toby Mac is probably one of the coolest human beings alive. =]
from free2dream :
Aww I hope you feel better Amy! It seems like everyone got struck with annoying allergies this spring except for me. But I understand the PAIN you're going through! =] Take caaare!
from pippinsgirl :
Hey you! I like the poem in your latest entry; it's strange how easily one can forget what this world is moving toward. And sorry, I didn't forget your note or anything, just haven't responded because I'm lazy. I'm definitely doing alright school-wise and mood-wise (well, usually), but spiritually I know I'm not doing as good as I'd like to be. I'm going to get to be in the worship band at my youth group in the fall, but I think God couldn't have chosen a stranger time for that...I've had more uncertainties about random stuff come up this year than all the year before. But the fact that he came in and put this new challenge in my life at such a weird time seems to be proof enough that he's up to something good for me. Oh yeah, he always is. :) Sorry about the ramble...how are you?
from free2dream :
=] Hope you had a nice day!
from fan4 :
Thanks for linking to my diary again. It may be awhile before you see anything new there though. I haven't felt like updating much.
from free2dream :
I have a question...no wait, I dont. But if I ever do, I promise to ask, now knowing you LOVE questions! =]
from free2dream :
I'm listening to Air1 right now... =]
from free2dream :
Hey ohhh *looks at notes below* I was able to help someone else in finding and reading your amazing diary! I'm so proud of myself. =] I agree, 4 day weekends rule! It's been cold in NY lately too. For the past couple of days, I've woken up only to find myself shivering. I keep thinking the window is open..but its not. It's too darn cold for MAY! =]
from hardcorefan- :
Mmm...2 Tim 3:16-17 is one of my favs...I like all of 1 Cor 13...I think it's because I'm a sap for love...I also love Song of Songs...And yes, free2dream rocks like butterscotch!
from hardcorefan- :
AND I wanted to tell you I love the "Love Comes Softly" series by Janette Oke. Just thought I would let you know. :) Tia
from hardcorefan- :
You're welcome for the add to the buddy list! I got your diary from free2dream's buddy list...I hope you have a great weekend too! -Tia
from free2dream :
I'M HAPPY FOR THIS FOUR DAY WEEKEND! =] go me. How are you? Just wanted to say hi...so HI!
from free2dream :
Oh, I'm saying it with you! This week's been really stressful...ah weekend PLEASE! :)
from free2dream :
You cant leave me notes anymore...but you did! :) hey...my diary isnt all that great...i still love being able to read YOURS! :)
from free2dream :
It's SUCH a relief to get it over with!!
from fan4 :
I had a feeling she'd say no, but it's still disapointing! We would've made great penpals!
from lumin-ant :
dont worry about the review, but im glad you got one. theyre fun. :)
from fan4 :
I'm surprised your mom allows you to have an online diary, since she dislikes D-Land so much.
from free2dream :
I'm crazy when it comes to layouts!! But I'm happy with my Maroon 5 one...for now. I had a Michelle Branch one before...but the background was white. And that was too plain for me. hehe...I'm odd. :)
from free2dream :
When you said low score....yeah, it is. But I love reading your diary anyway!!! In my opinion....I think reviewing a diary is weird. I mean, it's a person's diary...how can you review it like it's some kind of movie or something. Well, that's my opinion. God bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
from dudetterevue :
Your review is up x
from fan4 :
I hope you do talk to your mother about us being penpals. I want to know her answer, even if it's "no".
from free2dream :
Heyyy!!! I've updated myself on all your entries for the past month. Well most of them, anyway. :) Did you go to the Switchfoot concert? And what exactly happened to Michael in Princess Diaries 2?? I'm starting school in another week. September 9th. So I'm taking full advantage of the few days of summer vacation I have left. I'm glad that school is okay for you....I think it's REALLY cool that you have a Bible class!! AMazing!!
from fan4 :
I can't believe I've been using Diaryland since 2002! One of my penpals introduced me to this place. She stopped writing though....
from fan4 :
I'm a college student who enjoys making new friends. I love letter writing, and would never dream of stalking anybody. I did help you out with Critiques, when I noticed you were the only reviewer there. One friend helping out another. We don't have to be penpals, but when it comes to that sort of thing, you want someone who will respond to your letters (and I'm that type of person).
from lumin-ant :
my school already started! YAY! and i love it.
from fan4 :
Things have been good...I haven't done much today. Just spent time online and using my DVD player. I can use the DVD player to play CDs, but it's easier using my portable CD player for that. I played some of the bonus features on my Lion King DVD. Do you read my entries at all?
from pippinsgirl :
It's all good, I'm forgetting stuff all the time too. And thanks, I really like that verse (another Ecclesiastes one, what a coincidence) and it seemed to fit the layout better. It's crazy...I haven't taken that verse off my site for two or three years or something. But I figured a change would be nice. Talk to you later!
from pippinsgirl :
My name's Hannah, sorry if I never told you. Lol, one of my friends read that book "Deadline" and they wouldn't stop talking about how great it was...but they told me pretty much the entire plot, so I haven't had the energy to actually read it myself. And that's cool that your favorite verse is Jeremiah 29:11--one of my youth pastors who recently moved to preach at another church told us that that verse really affected him and his wife...long story, but I don't want to clog up your note-box-thingy. I'll try and get on IM sometime soon. What with school starting now I've got all this wretched work to do...
from dropsoffaith :
I love that bible verse!! =D It caught my attention on your profile and I just felt I had to write and tell you that I love it too. ;) *laugh* =D God bless you! * becca
from lumin-ant :
switchfoot rules. ;)
from pippinsgirl :
Thanks for the long message (I like them, too) and the questions--I answered those in my entry today. I've got AIM, and my screenname is gohobbits. I'm not on a whole lot, but feel free to give me a holla when I am! And coolness, I'm on your friends list...I feel all honored and stuff. :D
from pippinsgirl :
Thanks for answering my questions. Band does take a lot of hard work, I'm glad you appreciate it! Okay, and you said you'd appreciate my opinion on cussing as well, so I'll try and schpeel it out here...Like you, of course, I'm against speaking all the bad ones and I keep myself from doing that. I never really thought about the other ones I say (crap and all) being cuss words, but I do know that they're idle words and they're pretty useless. I was actually thinking about what you had said in my diary's review the other day, and I never realized how many times people say those words around me, even most of my Christian friends. The thing is that I found it harder to express whatever I was thinking without using them, because I'm so used to just saying "I feel like c-word" or whatever. But I guess the good thing about not saying them is that it leaves more room for serious discussion rather than empty words. So it seems like I don't really have an opposite opinion or anything...I mean, I wouldn't call them cuss words, but I would call them a bad habit. And I don't hold it against my Christian friends when they say it, because I know they're not trying to say anything obscene. But I am trying to cut down on it now. Nice verse too, by the way, that really covers it pretty well. Sorry about the long note... :)
from fan4 :
Lots of people have asked you questions! I was hoping more of my readers would participate, but only three did.
from fan4 :
Your link to my diary (when you were answering the questions) doesn't work, Amy.
from pippinsgirl :
Wow. I came here to ask you a question, and I get to ask three. Haha, awesome. Anyway, I meant to ask you a question about my review on your site, Critiques. You noted in the content part how I used cuss words in my diary, but to tell the truth I never thought that "crap" or "heck" were cuss words. I was just wondering what your take on cussing is. If you mean that any words used in vain can be cuss words, then I think I understand that...but if it's something different, I'm curious. (I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I really appreciate the review and the time you put into it.) I guess that's my first question. Okay, I'll just throw out some random ones: #2, What is the scariest thing in the world? and #3, What is your opinion on marching bands?
from being-katie :
1) What are you most afraid of? 2) What is your most cherished dream for the future? 3) Innie or outy belly button? Don't forget to ask me three as well!
from fan4 :
1.) Have you done any reviewing outside of Critiques? 2.) How did you first learn about Diaryland? 3.) Are you able to create diary layouts?
from free2dream :
I'm sure my fear of driving will soon pass. It better! :)
from cdghost :
enjoyed reading your words
from lumin-ant :
That speech is very moving.
from free2dream :
heyyy...don't make fun of Josh Groban...my future husband....:)
from free2dream :
You actually called your Senator?? Wowsers!!! Good for you!
from lumin-ant :
Hey..I'm sorry I never got to email you about the subjects you left me on AIM. My internet went haywire and I lost your message. :( So just leave a message at my diary or tell me on AIM what you wanted me to discuss again. Thanks and sorry.
from free2dream :
I'm so glad you didn't update last week. I love reading your entries and I didn't want to miss 'em while I was away. God bless.
from free2dream :
Keith Urban, a country artist with BEAUTIFUL love songs was one my layout. but now it's JOSH GROBAN!! Aren't you excited for me???
from fan4 :
Hi Amy.
from onlyou203 :
hey, it is so cool how God worked it so that you would be able to hear from Groban (did i spell it right?). that is so cool. i know that i havent' written a note in a while, but i decided to just say hi again b/c i have the time God Bless!!
from free2dream :
Hey!! Unfortunately, I don't play the piano but I probably will marry someone who does. JOSH GROBAN maybe...?? :) But i really love guitars more even though I've heard that they're actually harder to play. But oh well.....
from fan4 :
Go to "edit your profile". There are places to insert your messenger names (located under the slots that make up your fave. diary list). I have Yahoo Messenger back up and running, but am unsure whether or not I want to link it.
from ladybug123 :
i love telecast! i saw them on concert with jeremy camp last october (i think)
from free2dream :
Sure! If you want to post them, that is! :)

I want people to win on Jeopardy, but when is Ken finally going to end his streak? Someone else should have the title of champion! This is nuts....I bet the people who changed the rule of the show (It used to be someone could only stay on for 5 days, and possibly a tournament. Wasn't 'til this season that people could stay indefinately) wish they hadn't!

Yesterday, the genius guy on Jeopardy! had problems with questions. Eventually though, he was able to reach info. he knew, and won again. Today (6/22) will be his 14th. day, IIRC.
from eeyorechick :
hi. you don't know me, but i found your diary through free2dream. i was just reading through some of your entries and i must say you are wise beyond your years...it is always refreshing to see such a great christian attitude in a young person...God bless!

Hi, just dropped in. Love your layout. Hope things go ok for your church while your pastor is away. Many prayers for his father too. Peace.
from free2dream :
Our preacher's father has cancer and has been in the hospital for a long time and finally got out this week. But I think he's so sick that he'll be going back in there again. :( He's really old and we're praying for him. *That would make me happy if you would write about it and later put it up after your vacation. Yay!
from fan4 :
He's still going strong on Jeopardy.
from free2dream :
I hope you have fun on your vacation...maybe you'll still update! :)
from free2dream :
It let me add an entry...and then I clicked File and put up a new page...and I just added 5 entries..cuz I never know when I'm going to be able to update again!!
from free2dream :
I hope you get some sleep!
from free2dream :
The whole thing about the church...I understand completely...but I still love Jeremy Camp and Third Day...I guess I can't really hate any type of Christian music just because of the message and stuff it brings. I just cant stand heavy heavy rock/metal....it makes me really mad! :)
from ladybug123 :
what?? you don't like jeremy camp or third day?? i love them. i can't believe you can't stand them!
from free2dream :
and if you dont mind me asking....why do your brother and you go to seperate churches?? that happened to people at my church too.
from free2dream :
I'm so upset. Why don't you like Jeremy Camp or Third Day? Is it because of their unusually deep voices?? I love 'EM!! :) God bless.
from myhappiness2 :
Thats interesting about how long it takes to write a good entry. Never thought of that before. I really like your daisy layout.
from dc3caliboi :
thanks. sorry for the confusion. and FYI, i delete notes regarding reviews stuff after i do what needs to be done after readomh them. ie: reading/linking a review and stuff like that. notes for me is pretty much responses to my drivel. LOL
from free2dream :
forget what i said about coolquiz.com TRY EMODE.COM THAT'S THE BESTEST!!
from free2dream :
try Coolquiz.com!! It's sooo good!!
from free2dream :
Quizilla.com!! Is tha how you spell it??
from free2dream :
Thanks!! I like the layout too! :)
from fan4 :
Thanks for being a friend, Amy. :)
from fan4 :
You also love giving me notes.
from free2dream :
THAT'S SO NICE OF YOU TO THINK OF ME!! :) I feel so...SPECIAL now...
from free2dream :
35$ a day! That's pretty good for babysitting, especially! I should get some kind of job...but I'm so lazy. :)
from free2dream :
I used to have AIM but right now it's crapped up. (Yes...crapped up.) :) But you can always email me if you want obsess89@yahoo.com and I can email you too!! God bless. :)
from offg2004 :
Yea you're free. Just think about how much more you learned than the other class.
from free2dream :
Congrats on being "free" and you new job!! Only a few more days of school left for me...more exams...more stress. Yay!
from free2dream :
Oh, I know I update a lot. I make an extra effort to update at least twice a day whenever I can. I'm a bit addcted... :)
from free2dream :
I know a whole lot of people who are very excited to see that LOTR came out yesterday!! yay for updating at home!! :)
from free2dream :
At school again, eh? Wow, I wish I could do that at school but they would kill me because it's not school thingyness. Like homework and stuff. I'm so glad you updated! Actually, I'm surprised that I'm online now...my brother is out..yay for me. :) God bless.
from free2dream :
What a long entry to be written in study hall. I can't even write that long of an entry when I have 3 hours to do it! God bless. :)
from free2dream :
Thanks for your note!!! :) I'll try harder to be more assertive...if that's the right word. But it's never worked. My church has like 20-30 kids that can be considered "youth" and they are either 3 years older than me or more. And they have all grown up with eachother...so it's kinda hard. But I'll try anywayz..... *My brother ended school on Wednesday. I don't know if I'll miss him, as horrible as that sounds....but maybe I will. He's going to Miami...a long way from New York. Bye.
from free2dream :
That's so true what you said about my mom. I can't take her for granted at all. I just have to try harder to understand her and try to make her understand me more. Thanks so much for your notes!! They're always full of wise thoughts!! :) God bless. Glad to see your alive. :)
from free2dream :
I feel like I haven't given you a note or read your diary in YEARS. Sorry!! :) I wish I had that kind of relationship with my mom. My mom means well. But she pushes me so hard to be just like her. She has the next 10 years of my life all planned out. She's gonna be pretty disappointed when it doesn't turn out like she wanted it to. God bless. Thanks for all your awesome notes.
from free2dream :
I completely agree. I mean, being friends is so important. I look at these kids...KIDS...10 year old kida makin out and having boyfriends and I get so freaked out. Something's wrong. I think it should be some law or something, lol. I don't think you're weird. I think you have some amazing points. My parents are completely against having a boyfriend because when they came to America all they've seen is people makin out at like 14-15 years old and having a boyfriend isn't about that. It doesn't have to be. But what can I do? :) God bless. Go you for updating!
from free2dream :
Thanks for the SEVERAL notes you gave me. :) And thank you for the advice. I just have to believe that she's okay. Just leave everything with God. It's hard, I agree but I need to. Thanks again. God bless.
from free2dream :
JESSIE IS ADORABLE! Babies grow up so fast sometimes, it's amazing.
from free2dream :
Oh!! A whole entry dedicated to me!! That's sooo cool!! Thanks so much!! :)

It's not so much what I need to do before I DIE...just things I really want to accomplish in my life. Interesting goals that seem impossible..but...you never know right? Thank you for your sweet notes. It's nice to know you care!! :) I also read the lyrics before and I read it again. It's beautiful. Thank you. God bless.

from onlyou203 :

from free2dream :
I totally agree. They know the dangers that I might be in. And I sometimes agree with their overprotectiveness because I look around and I tell myself that I wouldnt let my kids go out either. :) Thanks for the note!!
from free2dream :
I can't wait until school is finally over! WE can make it. So glad you updated! God bless.
from onlyou203 :

from perdygirl :
You know March babies are the best! I like my layout too... I just kinda wanted a change. I want to change the words towards the top that say "rainbow delight" to something else... don't know what though. Any ideas?
from free2dream :
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from free2dream :
I love those two songs you put up. What a beautiful entry! God bless!
from free2dream :
how weird! thats all i have to say about it! it's just...weird!
from free2dream :
wow everyone has said that this layout has this dizzy effect thingy about it. i never thought about it but it's probably one of the reasons I decided to use it. god bless! :)
from free2dream :
I'll check the site out!! God bless!
from perdygirl :
Hey! Thanks for the note! I hope you do well on your test...well it's 8:11 pm, so I'm sure you've already taken it, but I'm sure you did good! Have a blessed day!
from free2dream :
Hey again!! I'm so glad you updated! I feel exactly the same way about the people in my church and school. I never had that TRUE friend there and I probably never will. But you never know......yay for updating!!! God bless and take care!
from fan4 :
I'd have more fun with Max if he wouldn't take off all the time. My mom thinks I've grown tired of this cat, but the truth is that he's grown tired of me!
from free2dream :
Hey Amy!! I'm so excited about the Oscars!! lol!!! God bless!
from being-katie :
Hey Little Sister!!!! I've really missed you and I don't have long now but when I got online I just HAD to drop by, tell you i still love ya, still pray for you and I hope you'll always keep striving to bring Him glory - because you're already His!!! I LOVE YA!!
from free2dream :
Hey Amy! I just had to say that you're so cool!!! :) Gosh, I'm weird. Enjoy your food or whatever! God bless and take care!
from jenamae :
Hi Amy! Thank you very much for the great help you've done for me in keeping the Critiques Reviews. I know I've been away in a while, and still going to be away in another half a month. I think you're doing a great job in keeping it! Yes, it's absolutely alright to take in a new reviewer, especially if you trust and know that person already. I hope you continue that nice job. Thank you so much!!!
from perdygirl :
Thanks for the note... sadly, patience is not one of my strong points... I'll try though! Have a great day! :)
from free2dream :
Also, my name is Cheryl....don't feel too bad now...:)
from free2dream :
You're definitely right. I'm not as alone as I think I am because I'll always have God in my life. But as humans, we need friends. Friends who'll be there. I know God is with me and he's the bestest friend that I could ever dream or hope of having but it would be great if I had someone in my life that I could really relate to. Thanks for the comment in my guestbook...or was it a note?? Oh well...thanks anyways!! Bye!
from free2dream :
My diary isn;' locked anymore....but....OMG!!! SHE IS SO CUTE!!!! I love babies and whenever I see one I go crazy. (People that know me well, know that about me....) I almost screamed (happily) when I saw her! She's so cute!! :) God bless.
from free2dream :
my diary is locked now. username= guest password= chertom5
from free2dream :
Oh ya...I also love Sonicflood. :)
from free2dream :
I love Rebecca St. James a lot and Relient K is very awesome too. But I love Michael W. Smith more than any other artist because he's such an inspiration to me and it's always been a dream of mine to meet him or sing with him on stage or anything like that. Other artists....Newsboys....DC Talk, because they're so original....Nichole Nordeman, I recently fell in love with her music......Steven Curtis Chapman, because he always sings such beautiful music about his kids and about his wife and of course, about God. Rachel Lampa is amazing because I always wanted her voice. And Joy Williams because her song "Every Moment" and "Beautiful Somehow" are so meaningful. There are tons more but those are the main Christian artists I like. :) I agree with what you said about V-day. It's so overrated. And I hope to find a boyfriend when I'm older and not just for the sake of having a boyfriend but because he really is special to me. :)I love reading your diary. :)Take care and God bless.
from freeinjesus :
Hi there! I've just been surfing diaries and wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your thoughts. I took a sabbatical for a while but am back now in case you'd like to stop by and do some reading--you know, stay awake some more. :)
from being-katie :
Hey!! remember me? I'm back! And I've updated :) I've really missed you and your diary!! Don't be a stranger!! Love Katie
from fan4 :
I prefer rain over snow, though I do complain about both.
from fan4 :
I attempted to e-mail Jenna, but my message was returned. :( She hasn't updated her diary in awhile. I think she's gone.
from free2dream :
I am so EXCITED!!! Your diary is so amazing!!!! Your username....your entries....love it all!!! :) God Bless. ~Cheryl~
from perdygirl :
Awww! Thanks! And don't you know, right after I wrote that entry I had an answer to prayer and I just felt so much better!
from fan4 :
I checked out the site where you do reviewing. Looks interesting.
from fan4 :
I used to be a reviewer.
from meika :
Oooh.. lucky. I live in Texas and we get like... not snow at all. It sucks. We're lucky if we get one ice storm Of course, you get an inch of ice and school's cancelled XD Hahaa
from perdygirl :
Yeah, you got it right. It's Kelly. :) Thanks for the encouragement! I leave at the beginning of June right after I get out of school.
from perdygirl :
I'm going to be there for 3 weeks with my aunt. We're going to do worship services and we're going to give eye exams and give people glasses. I'm really looking forward to it! I would really appreciate your prayers on this, because I've yet to get the money I need to go. Nice talking to you!
from meika :
Oh, I'm 14. I've kind of had a crummy past few days, but I'm going to amovie with my friends tonight so I'm happy :D And tomorrow I can sleep in uu zZzZz yay!
from meika :

from meika :
Ah, Relient K is good stuff, ne? Ever heard My Girlfriend? XD It' the best *is listening to is right now* Marylin Manson ate my girlfriend... hahaha God bless you
from fan4 :
Why the fishing for guestbook messages? I'm not in control of people leaving me notes or signing my guestbook.
from fan4 :
At first, weather people in here weren't making correct snow predictions. They'd say it'd come around midnight, but nothing happened. The third day they said this though, snow did come, though not at midnight. It did last for several days (keeping me housebound), but it started clearing up yesterday. It's mostly gone now.
from pokytoes :
I was browsing a designers forum and found a list of image hosting links - see it at http://hands-down.net/beautify/viewtopic.php?t=1165
from pokytoes :
The reason your images aren't showing up is because, according to Village Photos, "The owner of this file has exceeded their daily usage limit." I don't know what that means, but it is not a design problem - it's a problem with villagephotos. If you can find a different image hosting service you can transfer your images over there. Villagephotos was icky anyway, as it made your daisies look furry due to pixellation. If you can't find a hosting service you like, maybe it's time to get an imageless one... o.O
from fan4 :
I noticed that there were three guestbook signings from you, but I only recieved notification for one of them. Weird.
from fan4 :
Is it just me, or did your links become darker?
from fan4 :
Guestbooks are weird. I've had problems with them too. Thanks for adding my diary to your fave. list!
from fan4 :
Thanks for the help. I may check out Lisa's diary later. :)
from jenamae :
Hey Amy! Hope you had a really Merry Christmas, and may your another New Year in life be more of a blessing to other people!! God Bless!!!
from fan4 :
If the internet connection hadn't been messed up yesterday, I would've updated before today. Sometimes when I don't update, it's because I don't feel like doing so at the time. Other times though, I want to update but can't, either because D-land is busy, or there's major internet problems.
from fan4 :
When I first came across your diary, I read a story you had written on Dec. 5th. I liked your story.
from pokytoes :
[[The guestbook's not working at the moment (SMG.com is unreliable grrr) so I'll write in here.]] Hey there! I loved your entry about things - that's so right on. That's one of society's many problems. I think if more people realized what you were saying, we'd all be a little happier. And stuff. Anyway. Thanks for the note(s) in the guestbook!! It was so nice to come home and see a couple of new notes in the book. =) HOORAY!!! It's finally the Christmas season! My friends wouldn't let me get too excited about it too early because last year I was all "yay Christmas!" in August and sort of spoiled the real thing for them. But now I'm finally allowed to get all excited! Merry (early) Christmas!!!!!! o<}:o{D} (that's Santa - see the hat and the eyes, nose, 'stache, mouth, beard?) Or a manger - \_/ - heh that was easy enough. Well I'll stop rambling. TTYL!
from heyjude85 :
Hey! Thank you very much for stopping by my diary! I'm checking out yours now :-D.

from god-lovers2 :
Hey! I like your diary! Come and see my diary/group list of Christians. We're always looking for great Christians to join us!!! :)
from minstrelite :
Thanks for the encouraging note. I think the quote on the banner you saw was "In the world you will find trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 NIV) I've often found comfort in that Scripture. Anyway, I appreciate your comment, and may God bless you richly in your walk with Him.
from ladybug123 :
I am going to YWAM (Youth With A Mission) to take their Discipleship Training School. I will be spending 3 months in the classroom learning about God and missions and such. Then in early January, I will leave to go on a 6-8 week outreach in either Thailand or China.
from ladybug123 :
Thanks :) It was sweet of you even just to think of supporting me. :) The only thing I ask is your prayers.
from minstrelite :
Thanks for your note, and God bless you today in your walk with Christ.
from pippinsgirl :
hey there, thanks for dropping a line. I absolutely love that Jars of Clay song. They've got to be one of the best lyric-writing bands that I know of (besides maybe Relient K). :) Take care, and God bless.
from vibrant-lee :
I've read some of the entries of your diary and I will keep you in mind as I pray.. God bless.. vibrant-lee AKA anonimity
from ladybug123 :
I'll be leaving July 27th or 28th...I can't remember.
from ladybug123 :
Yup...going with my youth group to COsta RIca for 10 days! :)
from ladybug123 :
Thank you! :)
from sweetreviews :
Hi! It's Leslie Irene; I'm just doing reviews right now, so I'm logged in under Sweet Reviews! I really loved that guestbook post. Thanks for that. I used to be very much "out-there" with my beliefs and such when I first started D-land, but to this day, many still hold it against me. My twin cousins, who are very much devoted to the Lord, told me to maybe just write down my deepest thoughts on God. I wish they lived by me. We would be together all the time. They have a great church in Virginia. Well, enough for now, but post anything you want in my diary! Jesus is my Saviour! Blessings Always, Leslie Irene :)
from perceptionss :
Amy, I wanted to thank you for the kind message you left for me in my guestbook. It isn't easy being a Christian these days and admire you a great deal. Thanks for making me smile and take good care of yourself:)
from meika :
Hey, I love your Diary. It's amazing. One if the best I've seen. You're so intouch with Godm it's a great thing. Keep writing. God bless you! -Meika
from ladybug123 :
Yup...I believe that God has given him wise counsel regarding all this, so I support him.
from ladybug123 :
is it your birthday? if so then Happy Birthday!!! :)
from peth :
would you say that God's love is bigger than the biggest Pyramid in Egypt? I would.
from ladybug123 :
Sure, I would love to talk through e-mail. My e-mail is pandabearjo@hotmail.com. Though I must apologize ahead of time if I'm not too quick to write back.
from aowdi :
thanks sooo much for the message! it made my day a lot better. :) may god bless you too!
from ladybug123 :
Thank you very much for the note. :) It was very sweet of you to offer. If I can ever be of any help to you, don't be afraid to ask. :) God bless you!
from sunnflower :
Yup, I know God's love is vast. Thanks for the guestbook entry.
from ladybug123 :
Hi...I just wanted to say that I like that you use your diary as a prayer journal. It is very encouraging. :) God bless!
from twmostemo :
Please don't insult God by quoting Leviticus as his word. This diary is a joke, right?
from niknak7652 :
Thanks, that helped a lot. What can you tell me about Jesus being black?
from niknak7652 :
One time I read a pamphlet on why Jesus was gay, and now I don't know what to believe. Can you help me?
from bettyalready :
I'm sure EVERYONE loves this one, but I'm going to write it anyway. Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offense. Love keeps no score of wrongs; does not gloat over another's sins, but delights in truth. There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance. In a word, there are three things that last forever: faith, hope and love; but the greatest of them all is love. 1 Corinthians, 13.
from tobehis :
Jesus loves you! ><>
from bettyalready :
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future." I really like this one a lot. Very cool and Merry Christmas to you too!
from bettyalready :
I know it a different way: For God so loveth the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but find everlasting life. Thanks for the guestbook entry.
from dramoth :
Thanks for taking my survey. I appreciated your comments, though I respectfully disagree. Enjoy!
