Girl from Germany looking around at Luke and Jason's fireworks party: Over in Germany, you always hear about how fat American people are. But no, look around, I do not see it!

Friend: Yeah, but these are indie-rock kids, they're not fat.

Fourth of July was once again...disappointing . Hah. Oh well! I had fun with my friends, just the fireworkz were baaad. 

Jason and Luke's killed everyones! More about all of this tomorrow...2:29 is my bed time!

I want a new phone.

I want a bar phone. Flip phones are too inconvenient. Gimme an iPhone! Somebody! 

In the 1990s and 2000s, the 1940s slang term hipster began being used in North America to describe young, well-educated urban middle class and upper class adults with leftist, liberal, orlibertarian social and political views and interests in a non-mainstream fashion and cultural aesthetic. While definitions vary, hipsters are often associated with alternative music, "indie" culture (indie rock and independent film), and other non-mainstream products, such as vintage clothing.

Our Night

���� �� �� �� �� �� Dang!

more cat pictures

I got some new things today.

I got a pack of cloth hairbands. They're pretty. Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, and White.

My red one is especially cute.

I just tried to take a picture, but it didn't work out too well.

I worked tonight 5-close. Its a nice shift. Goes by relatively fast. I have to wear a hairnet now. But its alright, because its blonde, and you cannot even tell that Im wearing it. I loves it. Kinda. I mean, for what it is, I love it.

Have I mentioned that I'm going to be a life group leader?

I'm volunteering for Mars Hill. Going to be in charge of a group of 8-10 5th&6th grade girls. Haha. Kind of out of the blue. I was at church with Mani one day, and I just got a post card that asked for volunteers, and I just thought that it'd be a really great time to do something. Unfortunately, its not until September so the immediate aspect that I was going for is kind of...gone. But either way, I am looking forward to it. 

Want to hear my schedule for fall classes?

1) Introduction to Cultural Anthropology 

2) Algebra (NO!!)

3)Fundamentals of Music (Had to take the art class, so I thought this would be a good choice since I already have a small background in theory)

4) Cognition (This will be cool?)

It's only 13 credits. I'm looking to take one more class, but having trouble finding one that fits into my schedule. Maybe I'll do that right now?

It's 2:30am and I have to work at 1 pm tomorrow.

O hai!!

You Are My Face


I remember my mother’s
Sister’s husband’s brother
Working in the goldmine full-time
Filling in for sunshine
Filing into tight lines
Of ordinary beehives
The door screams I hate you
Hate you hanging around my blue jeans
Why is there no breeze
No currency of leaves
No current through the water wire
No feelings I can see
I trust no emotion
I believe in locomotion
But I've turned to rust as we've discussed
Though I must have let you down 
too many times
In the dirt and the dust

I have no idea how this happens
All of my maps have been overthrown
Happenstance has changed my plans
So many times my heart has been outgrown
Now everybody’s feeling all alone
Can’t tell you who I am
When everybody’s feeling all alone
Can’t tell you who I am

I am looking forward
Toward the shadows tracing bones
Our faces stitched and sewing
Our houses hemmed into homes
Trying to be thankful
Our stories fit into phones
And our voices lift so easily
A gift given accidentally
When we’re not sure 
We’re not alone

Hilarious.

English teacher: Alright class, let us come together and share our lists of literary terms. (pause) Just so we're clear, "Lolcat" is not a literary term.

Having a depressing day.

Something about the light at cherry and college people never pay attention. Whats the deal?

New Haircut

No reason for the weird face. Just didn't know what else to to.

After a couple of days.

People must think I'm totally vain.

Maybe I am?

Anyways, major thanks to Mani!!

Sigh

Just had a long debate about church.

My Mom goes to Rez Life, and its basically pointless to argue with her. I think its hard to argue with her because deep down she knows what they're doing is disgusting. Who needs a mega church? She knows its wrong but says that she "Enjoys Pastor Dwyane's messages" I mean, honestly are they going to have a preacher in there that caters to logic and reason? No its all based on emotion. Raise your hands, free your inhibitions, pay us ten percent of your paycheck, and God will love you. Salvation is unconditional at that church. "Admit God is Lord and you'll be saved" It's all just so backwards. So backwards. These people are getting "saved" under false pretense and I just get so frustrated. 

I am frustrated with church in general and have been for a long time. I know that man makes errors, the blind leading the blind etc. 

I don't know. I think that the church should be open to criticism and should AT LEAST be able to withstand it, and have a solid foundation. Maybe church should become purely digital and we can all listen to sermons on podcast. 

I still feel upset when people just treat Jesus as a genie. He's not!! I understand the concept of acknowledging God in all that you do, but discrediting the concept and value of prayer by praying to God every time you can't find your car keys, REALLY? Yes, He deals with trivial problems as much as the big ones...but something about that seems so very backwards to me. 

Theatrics, smoothies, pool tables, etc. distract from the real reason we're at church. And I can't support a church like that.

I might as well be at the coffee shop overhearing a podcast about God while I talk to my friends and drink my smoothie. I mean, isn't that what Rez Life has come down to? The ratio of real "food for the soul" to bullshit (ie pool, friends, comfy chairs, whispering) is drastically tipped. 

I have kinky hair today. See?

Wavez.

Full hair. I kept making stupid faces at the camera, so I just had to not look.

My favorite dress. Kinda makes me look like I have a pouch belly?

I think its because of these weird patterns.

My camera needs new batteries. A battery charger sure would come in handy right about...now? Ahem. Ahem.

I like my kinky hair today.

At sparrows getting behemoths alone. Boo.

I spend all my energy standing upright.

Outfit last night

Goofy smile, straight hair

How long my hair is from the front

Sort of from the side

This is a better shot of how long it really is

How long it is in the back
