so, this has nothing to do with anything really. but i'm in the mood to tell someone

. last night, myself and my siblings were watching tv, and the little brown and black striped cat, buddy, jumped up on the bench outside the window with a dead bird in his mouth. we, of course, did not open the door to let him in, but not even a minute later, my mom, who was on the phone and not paying much attention, opened the kitchen door. me and my bro jumped up as the stupid cat strode into the living room with the dead bird. and, of course, the other stupid cat ran up to try and steal the bird. it was nasty.... i freaked out and started yelling at the cats, so the white one ran, and buddy dropped the bird on the floor and ran. we managed to throw bud back outside and my mom picked up the stiff, dead bird with a paper towel and threw it out after him. his fun was ruined, and he left the bird in the front yard and came back inside. and now i think it's funny, and i also wonder why i just shared this....

Hahaha that is weird lol I never feel awkward when I am doing something where all the people I know are of the opposite gender.... I don't know if that is weird at all but yeah lol.....

).

Why are you and your mom not going back to your church?

fflscw · 06-18-2009, 03:03 PM

i never said "awkward", i just said "weird", and even then, that's only sometimes...
there are various reasons why my mom isn't going back to our church. i have failed to mention that she was treasurer for 2 years, and when you are forced to work with people in the congregation their true colors are exposed, and in the cases of several people it makes it very difficult to get along with them anymore. and because i'm very close to my parents, i know how much some of these people hurt both my parents, and in doing so they've hurt me. and for me there is nothing to offer at our church. they have a dinky youth group type thing made up of 5 people, out of which my friends usually don't come. and the things the youth group does is all "fun" stuff, which is cool sometimes, but not all the time. there's no real ministry or serving opprotunities, and i just don't feel like i even worship there anymore, between complaining about stuff in my heart and seeing people i don't really like. wow, that feels great to tell someone about it! get it off my chest. so, i could use some prayer, please!!

CHRISTISLORD200 · 06-18-2009, 10:32 PM

Oh I will DEFINITELY be praying for you!
Haha yeah trust me, I know what u mean! (about it feeling great to get it off ur chest) If you wanna talk about it or just watever feel free to PM me

so are you looking for another church to go to?

fflscw · 06-20-2009, 01:31 PM

thanks, Jon! i can use lots of prayer, and i might PM you sometime

! well, the church in cleveland, where my bro plays in the worship band, would be the obvious choice. except that it takes 35 min to get there, then 35 back. they have lots of ministries going on, and are closely connected with Building Hope In The City, which is a christian ministry to the city of cleveland, and we love the church, but the fact that it's so far away is pretty discouraging. but other than all this stuff, life for me is pretty good! on friday we went to visit our cousins and aunt, and then headed to the church building for our janitor job. and today has been awesome so far! i went over to the horse bording place, cleaned out a stall (man, i'm glad i don't own a horse!), brushed several equines, and got to ride. i'm getting better at posting, but by the time i get on the horse she's tired and doesn't want to trot anymore. i love it, and the only thing i really have trouble with is mounting. i get up halfway and fall back down, but i'm working on it. and this evening we're heading up to cleveland, so i won't have a chance to be bored.

Hey Bethany how's life?

well, do you have your own room? cause when you share a room with a younger sibling it can be more like having several mostly annoying siblings.... so, nothing interesting is currently going on. just hanging out mostly. my cousin came over to hang out yesterday, and today i didn't do much. so i'm going back to the CPF now ...

I share a room with 3 brothers.

thanks! good, i'm not the only one who has to share a room

. life in general is pretty ok, weekends are crazy and weekdays are boring

, i really need something to occupy myself during the day besides the computer and video games.... but, great news, my bro is going to buy the bass at the end of the week! his birthday is tomorrow (i'm working on his present today

), so it's kind of like a present to himself. i, being the stupid person i mostly am, lost more than half of my savings this month

. i know i didn't move it, know i didn't spend it, so all i can guess is that i brought it somewhere to possibly spend and lost it. i'm very angry at myself... but my bro is nice enough to still let me play the bass. and, seeing as i'm home with plenty of time, i'll have something to do all day!

CHRISTISLORD200 · 06-22-2009, 10:25 AM

Awesome! You must be excited about the bass

My younger brother is hopefully gonna be getting and learning how to play a bass next year. I will probably learn first and then teach him how to play. Everybody I know that knows how to play the bass says that it is really easy lol.

fflscw · 06-22-2009, 01:46 PM

yeah, i am really excited! i tried to learn guitar but it was kinda boring, and i absolutely love the bass vibrations

, and my bro can basically teach me most of it. i know lots of bassists and the ones i've talked to said its not too hard, which is right up my alley!

fenderguy962 · 06-22-2009, 01:46 PM

I like bass. Sometimes more than guitar. My little 8 year old bro plays bass, and it looks wierd every time I see him playing. It looks like he is way better than his is because he has got such small hands on the full size bass, and he can only cover like 3 frets so he moves his hand up and down that neck like crazy. Then he gets this really wierd look on his face like he is mad at something and is trying to kill it with his mind.

ahahaha that's an incredibly cute visualization! I could totally imagine that

fflscw · 06-22-2009, 01:53 PM

that would be fun to watch

! is your bass a fender, lenny?

fflscw · 06-22-2009, 01:55 PM

by the way, hi rockr2010!
