:kduh:
This is how I feel right about now. With the way my life has been going, you would be, too. First off, let me introduce myself. My name's Laura. I'm 16, a junior in high school, and I live in KY. Kentucky is okay, except for the part I live in. I don't think there's ONE true Christian at my school. Some of my friends are Christians, but from the way they talk and act, you wouldn't guess it.
Anyway, today my English teacher announced that for our research papers over an author of some sort, we were going to have to have 40 notecards. Isn't that lovely?:khair:
Also, my mom and dad have kind of been on my case about remembering things. I'm terrible at remembering, I can just loose track of...wait, where was I?
I was really irritated at my friend Shannon this morning, too. She just had to argue with me about what style of music Third Day is, when everyone know they're southern rock!
Then I have to perform at my church on Sunday morning. My friend, Joey was supposed to play backup guitar for me while I sang, but he may not even be there.
:knope:
I feel so messed up right now. All I need is a good friend to talk to. However, I have none. Not any I can talk to, I mean. Well, I do talk to God. I prayed during English class when we were in the library. I felt a lot better afterwards, but something is still plaguing me. I don't know what. Oh, well, maybe I'll find out sometime.

Oh, by the way, the new Left Behind movie is out. I can't wait to see it! I thought the first one was pretty good, but it didn't do justice to the book. You ever notice that? How when movies are made from books, they're just never as good? We should stop trying to expect it, and just live with it. I don't care what anyone says, I think the Left Behind stuff is well-written fiction based on what'll happen at the end of time.

Ok, maybe I won't die:kdead: until I get to post again, but I'll probably spend forever waiting for this Third Day song to download.

Check ya later!

:kcool:
Yeah, I'm cool. I had a great night tonight. I was at the Fall Festival at the elementary school. They had a karaoke room where you could go and sing. I sang twice, and everyone said I did a really good job.:kgrin: My old English teacher, Coach G, who is now the principal of the elementary school, was in there the first time I sang. He said that I sang REALLY good. He said I should sing the song "Single White Female". Well, I don't know about that, but it's always good to keep your options open.

I feel a lot better than I did when I last wrote. The last time it was the one month anniversary of when one of my best friends moved. I still miss him a lot. My friend, Lisa, does too. I think that's because she liked him.:klol:

:kduh:
Don't you just love that smilie? I think it's awesome. It reminds me of my friend Matt. The other day he dressed up in a cow suit giving me license to call him "Matt Cow". The first time I called him that he said, "Yeah, 'cause I have Matt Cow Disease". Sometimes I worry about him. Like one day I'll be watching the news and he'll be on there as an escaped convict, not armed but dangerous. He'll be yelling something like "Brak!", because he likes the Brak Show.
Anyway, I have to go. Mainly because I don't have anything to talk about.

[soulthirst]

That's the movie I went to see today. Considering it was a sequel, I enjoyed it fairly well. It was a big treat for me to go to the movies, because I usually only get to go once a year. For real, I do. I thought this year I would just get to see Men In Black II (yeah, another sequel), but then my youth group went to go see "Jonah:A Veggie Tales Movie". This movie rocked, by the way.:kcool:
This December I'm going to see the 2nd Lord of the Rings movie "The Two Towers". It's one of my Christmas gifts that I get to go see it. I'm hoping the others will be "Left Behind: The Kids" books or a big portable CD player.:keek:
Ok, it's 10:00 here, and I am STILL on the Internet. Oh, no. My youth leader, Mike, just signed on. He'll be wondering why I'm up so late. But why is HE up so late, huh?:kshifty: I wonder.
Well, gots to go, peoples. Please pray for me because I'm going to attempt to talk with my principal about starting a Bible Study.
Oh, man. My mom just came in here and asked me why I haven't started my homework yet.:kshock: Guess I better do that, huh?
Later!

:kspin:
I swanee, that's how I feel right about now. I'm okay, and everything. I just think I need to go to Rivendell (no, not from "Lord of the Rings".) Rivendell around here is an asylum. It would be nice. Three square meals a day, nice little padded cell, no homework.:kduh: Just being crazy, like those people on "Good Burger" were.
Things have been okay, though. I'm still bummed about Brother Danny and Peggy leaving, though. And the fact that the Laster's aren't coming back has been tearing at me. I need a good dose of prayer right about now. So ya'll pray for me and my church, please. We need it. I was kind of hoping to get elected to the pulpit committee, but they already picked one. I'm not on it. I thought it would be cool to go around to different churches and look for a new pastor (preferably one with a 16-year-old Christian son!):kwink:
Oh, well. Lately I've been kind of feeling like I got knocked off a horse by a tree branch. Physically, mentally, and socially. My friends have just about abandoned me. I'm afraid I'm loosing them. I don't know. Maybe I'm outgrowing them or something. I want a deeper relationship with God, they, well, don't.
So...where do I go from here?
I guess I'll just have to keep praying for that 16-year-old Christian guy to come around. Maybe he'll get here someday.:kroll:

Laura
:kduh: (Because...well, just because!)

[soulthirst]

...well, not quite, but close. I know I haven't been keeping up with my blog, but I've been busy. Today was supposed to be my last day of school before Christmas, but they decided to keep us in school for the next 2 days!!! Oh, well...

Anyway, just a few tidbits:

Southern food:
fried potatoes
pinto beans
cornbread
onions
biscuits
country ham

Oh, and for the J.R.R. Tolkien fans, read "The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien" by Humphrey Carpenter. It probably provides the best insight into what he thought about his books and the world. Very interesting!

The "Snow Queen" was on last night. That is one BOMB movie. Ever seen it? It comes on the Hallmark channel.

I got an 84 on my research paper about Jack London.
All is lost.

Semester tests are tomorrow and the day AFTER tomorrow. I really need to study. Yet, I don't need to. I'm exempt. Life is good.

Top Five Reasons Christmas is Cool:
1. It's Jesus' birthday!
2. Lots of presents!
3. My mom makes seven layer salad mmm....
4. 24 hours of "A Christmas Story"
5. Uh..........uh..........i don't know

:kconf:

I wrote a story called "Out of the Darkness...Into the Light". If anyone wants to read it, please email me.

Ok, that's it. BYE BYE now. Or as they say in Zadurelian "Golinha Unar".

[Pippin_Gomer]

Hey dudes!

It's me, soulthirst, a.k.a. Laura, I'm just under a different name. I'm at school, and I couldn't remember my password, so I just created a new name. Pippin is my favorite character in "Lord of the Rings" and I'm definitely a Third Day Gomer!!!

Anyway, I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all. I'm in a very Christmas-y mood because I've been giving presents to my friends all morning. It's the last day of school around here. Can you believe that it's only 5 MORE DAYS until the biggest present-opening day of the year? Ok, so the presents isn't what Christmas is ALL about. Let's not forget 24 hours of "A Christmas Story" on TNT! Naw, I'm just kidding. Of course, the most important reason for the season is to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Hey, I just thought of a new saying for Christmas. Next time, we can all wish someone "Merry Jesus' Birthday!" Wouldn't that be cool? Gotta go. 2 minutes till the bell.

Laura
:kduh: (because I'm crazy for Christmas!)

[***starburst***]

oh my muffins. i think you are my twin. my goodness. i read your first post, and was in awe of how it reminded me of me... you sound awesome! (he he) this is a fun fun blog.

I'm terrible at remembering, I can just loose track of...wait, where was I?

that is so me! pm me sometime or something. and my aol name is chokeword, if you want to chat.

God bless,
darcy

by the way, 'a christmas story' is the best movie ever made (well, almost)

Whoa, I geuss I should keep my mouth shut when I talk about how cool Rivendell would. If I'm not careful, my friends might just take it to heart to send there!!!

I'm not embarrassed, but I thought that was a good yawning smiliee. That's how I look when I yawn.
I finally found a use for my new name Pippin_Gomer. I was trying to get an ICU or something, but it would never register. I couldn't remember my soulthirst password, so I just created Pippin_Gomer.

I'm in the process of writing a new story (hopefully a screenplay) called "Wait For Me". That's just the working title, though. I got it from Rebecca St. James song "Wait For Me". I know it's probably copyright infringment or something, so that's why it's just a working title. Knowing me (and I do...sort of ) I'll change it before I'm through. But that song just describes me to a tee. I'm still waiting for that one right guy to come along. I'll know him when I see him, because he'll be just as animated as I am!:kspin: Or it might be like I get to know him first, then fall in love. I don't know. All I know is, I'm still waiting.
All of you people out there with girlfriends and boyfriends and who have had first kisses don't know what it's like to be in this position. I'm 16, and I've never had even a first kiss!

I'm also a very romantic soul. It' incredibly hard for me. But there was one guy, who I really liked. But he moved away back at the end of September. I miss him a lot.:ksad:

The "Snow Queen" hasn't been on since Tuesday. WHEN WILL THE INHUMANITY STOP?

But on a lighter note, I'm going to see "The Two Towers" tomorrow around 4:30. It's one of my Christmas presents. I'm so excited!

But I'm so...tired...must stay awake. Must...stay...zzzzzzzzzzz......

[Pippin_Gomer]

Hey dudes! Yeah, it's still me, soulthirst. But right now I'm Pippin_Gomer. I just love that name, don't you? Anyway, I found out about the new Third Day CD coming out sometime in March. I can't wait, it's gonna be TIGHT!:kgrin:

In other news, I went to see "The Two Towers". I don't know what people have against it, but I absolutely loved it. I know that they didn't exactly stay true to the book, but have you ever known ANYONE that wrote a movie that was the same as the book? I haven't. The only problem I had with it was Faramir. Peter Jackson really messed up on him. I liked when he let Frodo go. That was how they should have portrayed him to begin with. Gollum was awesome! They should definitely create "Best CGI character in a major motion picture" category at the Oscars.

Still no Snow Queen.:kshock: All hope is lost.:ksad:

I've started a new school year today. Can you believe it? They didn't even give us the last two days of the week for vacation. Isn't that stupid? I started new classes today, too, which I hate. I have Spanish III AP, Pre-Calculus, Culinary Skills, and AP Biology. Talk about a work load!

Ok, I need to go. I have to go to work in about 10 minutes. Oh, that's something else: I got a job! I'm happy because I can finally make money. Only bad thing is, I just found out today I'll need a graphing calculator for Pre-Cal. You know how much those things cost? I'll have to spend my whole next pay check just to get one. What a rip off.

Ok, I'm going now. Cya late!

Laura
:kduh: (fill in with your own excuse)

[Pippin_Gomer]

...and very depressed. I want to change my 4th block class from AP Biology to Chemistry II. Unfortunately, it's not offered at that time. I miss my old classes, too. My new ones are just too strange. I don't like them at all. You know what? I just don't like 2003. I wish it was 2002 again. Man, I'm just really upset right now.:ksad:

Also, I forgot my keys this morning, meaning I have to carry around a bunch of books, and notebooks, and stuff. I'm just not having a very good day. And I can't change classes!:kmad:

I was hoping this year would be a good year, but I don't think it will be. The only thing that'll be REALLY good would be the birth of my nephew, Matthew. He's supposed to be here in a month or so.

:kduh: :kduh: :kduh:

I feel three times as bad. I guess because I forgot my keys. Maybe things will be better as the weeks go by. Oh, I forgot. Another reason I'm really kind of mad is because we were supposed to have snow today. But I woke up this morning, and there was no snow whatsoever.

I just need the weekend to relax and recover from the shock. Tomorrow I'm not doing anything but eating Subway chicken teriyaki sandwich and watching "Lord of the Rings" again. After all, I AM Pippin_Gomer.

Laura
:kduh: (if you don't know by now, re-read this entire entry)

No Snow Queen.:kshock: (But I have it on video)

[soulthirst]

Yep, I am feeling a lot better. I think a weekend was all I needed to unwind and recollect myself. 'Cause you know, I was scattered all over the North American continent. It feels good to be in one piece.

In other news, I'm still having a TON of homework. You should see it; it's one of those big ton blocks filled with notebooks, textbooks, pencils, folders, quizzes, trigonometric functions, carbon chains, present indicitave Spanish verbs, and recipes (culinary skills class). I think there were a few dead bugs in there, too....

GOOD NEWS! I got to watch about 45 minutes of "Snow Queen". Only thing is, it was on a video tape. Oh, well.

I've been thinking about writing a story called "Journey to Unoria, and What Happened There". Too much? I'm afraid it'll turn out too much like the Chronicles of Narnia. Post feedback about what you think, please. Also, if anyone wants to read my story "Out of the Darkness...Into the Light", they're welcome to it. I think I might post it in serials for the next few weeks. If you want to read the whole thing, email me at LBHuff15@aol.com.

Dudes, "Less Than Perfect" is on. I'm going to make like a ball and bounce! Cya!

[Pippin_Gomer]

I'm at school, in advisory. I just thought I would post in my blog for fun and give you a few thoughts.:kroll:

I found my Biology papers this morning. They were in my locker in the back of my old binder. Boy, was I relieved. I've been working on my open response all day, and hopefully I'll get it done by 4th block. I should, because I have a really easy class next where I can finish my homework.

Did you know that if you mix candy corn with peanuts, it tastes just like a PayDay candy bar? It does! Try it sometime. The best kind of candy corn to use is Brachs.:kspin:

"Less Than Perfect" was on last night, that's why I hurried off here so quickly. It was a great show. If any of you watch it, you know what I mean.

Ode To The Bell
I sit here,
Typing away
Pouring out my heart
To You, my friend
Waiting, waiting, waiting
There goes the bell
And my solitude is broken
:kduh:

And now, I must leave you. It's 4 minutes until the REAL bell, and I must go. But....

<> Don't cry for me, CGR! The truth is I never left you!<>:kshock:

[Pippin_Gomer]

I feel very calm right now. Although I'm a bit worried the moderators will move my blog to the P section because I keep using Pippin_Gomer, even though it's still me, soulthirst.

Anyway, I was looking through my old notebooks from last semester, and I NEVER realized what treasures I had. I wrote down so much stuff that it's literally a treasure trove. Whenever I was feeling mad:kmad: sad:ksad: or just plain bored:kblush , I would write down what I was thinking then. I decided to put everything in a book so I could keep them all together and not have to go through a million notebooks. When I started typing, I had 7 pages of poems alone. There's no telling how many of those thought pages I have.:ktongue:

I decided to post the first of many serials of my story "Out of the Darkness...Into the Light", because nobody said they wanted to read it. So HA HA HA, I'm making you read it! Here's Part One of "Out of the Darkness...Into the Light":

“Great, now what?” Beth asked herself as she walked into the classroom. Mrs. Morgan, the teacher, looked up with a pinched face at Beth as Beth slumped to her seat.
“Miss Miller, you are late again. Detention after school until 4:00.” Mrs. Morgan said in her icy voice. Beth slumped in her seat as she heard the cruel comments of Ashley, the “most popular girl in school” a few seats behind her.
“She is so weird. I can’t believe she even bothers to show up. She knows she doesn’t have any friends.” Ashley harshly whispered. Not surprisingly, Mrs. Morgan didn’t look up. Typical, thought Beth.
At lunchtime, Beth took out her brown paper bag. Inside was her usual lunch of a ham and cheese sandwich and some carrots, with no desert. Beth’s family couldn’t afford the little frivolities that we all take for granted sometimes. As everyone else walked past her to their respectable tables, no one stopped to say hi to her. No one even cast a glance her way. Invisible, as always, Beth thought. The only solace she took during this time was her sketching. Being alone at lunch gave her ample time to draw pictures of her classmates. They were nothing special, just the way she saw them. Suddenly, a voice came from behind her.
“Hey, Beth.” Beth lightly smiled as she recognized the only friendly voice in her life. Ryan. There was no need to turn around. Ryan sat beside her and took out his own lunch. It was almost the same as Beth’s, only Ryan had bologna.
“Hi, Ryan,” Beth replied, with a certain feeling in her stomach. Ryan Smith was considered one of the most popular guys in school. But he didn’t care. He could be considered a “loser” like Beth and not care. The only thing Ryan cared about most was God and his increasing relationship with God. Ok, some thought he was a “church boy”, but did Ryan mind? I think we both know the answer to that. Beth didn’t mind, either. I mean, she didn’t go to church, and she wasn’t “spiritual”, but Ryan was nice.
Ryan made himself comfortable, and with a mouth full of bologna, he said, “So, what are you drawing?” Now, Beth didn’t like to show anyone what she worked on, like most shy girls. So when Ryan asked this question, Beth put up her defenses.
“Uh…just stuff.” She replied awkwardly.
“What kind of stuff?” Ryan asked curiously.
“Just stuff around me.”
“That’s cool.”
Of course, Beth didn’t mention that a picture of him hid away in her small portfolio. A secret that a tender-hearted girl carried with her. Despite Ryan’s lack of knowledge that since he was popular, he wasn’t allowed to hang out with her, Beth enjoyed his company on occasion.
Beth continued to draw pictures of what she saw. Today it was a picture of Ashley, talking loudly with her friends. Beth drew Ashley as she really saw her. If Ashley had only known, then she might have thought twice about what Beth was really like. For girls tend to overlook the important factor of who someone really is, and instead they look at a person’s clothes, attitude, and money. I’m not saying ALL girls do that, but some do.
Ashley suddenly turned to the table at which Beth and Ryan sat and eyed Beth with that “holier-than-thou” look. Rather gracefully, she got up from the table and made her way over to Beth. With one foul look at Beth, she turned to Ryan, who’s back was to her. Ashley sat down and turned on that irresistible charm that some girls naturally possess.
“Ryan, why don’t you come and sit over at our table? I’m sure you’d have a MUCH better time over there than here.” she said in a sickly, sweet voice.
Based on what we know about Ryan so far, what do you think he said? Now remember, Ryan cannot be fooled easily. He has that rare ability to see right through people to their true intentions. Here’s what he said:
“Ashley, there’s nothing that I would like less than to go over and sit with your “crowd”. I enjoy Beth’s company a lot better than I do yours. But you’re welcome to join us, if you’d like. I’ve been meaning to talk to you about church anyway…” here Ryan trailed off, as Ashley got up and walked off. I think that nothing can get rid of a person better than telling them about how much they need God. It made Beth kind of giggle as Ashley turned red and walked off.
Ryan turned back to his lunch and smiled to himself. Beth cast him a sideways glance. A small flop in her stomach told a tell-tale story, and she quietly returned to her simple lunch.


So, what do you think? Post me some feeback about what you think about it. I know it needs editing, but bear with me. No, really, there is a bear with me. He's growling...he looks hungry...uh, oh, got to go.:kdead:
