Yes, I've done it. I figured if I do get short times here and there online, I might as well post little clips in one place while I'm at it.

Hmm, something interesting I heard today: my sister's boyfriend and I were driving back home from my sister's workplace, and I was asking him why he had taken a 'break' from college. He said that his mom suggested it, because she didn't want him to get too stressed out. This was odd since that wasn't something she would usually do - she usually is the one pressing him in education.
Turns out that this was because last Sunday, a friend of his from back in high school was taking college classes, and he got so worked up and stressed out that he cracked from the strain... he told his mom he was going to the mall, but he went there and went behind some dumpsters and shot himself.

Now that's creepy.

Aaaand... on an unrelated note, my sister needs a good mental check. She was just gone for six hours, hiking in the dark with a guy she barely knows for four hours. Cellphone off. Went to dinner after hiking. Just got back... That chick needs to seriously realize what people are capable of. I was praying constantly for the last half-hour for God to keep her safe (and He blessed us by doing so!)... Gah. I'm glad she's fine, but mad she's being so ignorant.

Yeah. *yawn* That's it for today.

One question, irrelevant to your post: are you male or female?

Female.

Ironically, half the people I know on BZPower are under the impression that I am a man.
Long story.

For some odd reason, I figured you were female.
I just wanted to know for sure.

Yeah... I think I've mentioned it before within some context. But I can't remember where...

I don't know.
All I know is, I was looking for SOME kind of evidence and never found it.
So I figured I'd just ask.

So you're like... the opposite of Alg?

Sure... but, did Alg himself make people think he was a girl, or was it just Lah's drawing?

I tried hiding the fact that I was a girl in my early BZPower days (since I didn't want anyone making assumptions, thinking I was some Clikits-loving pansy... back before there were many girls at BZP.)... in my first (and only) sprite comic series, my character was a boy.
Heheh... the surprise of some of my PGSs when they found out the truth... priceless. I think Akano's reaction was my favorite.

As for Alg... the only truly girly thing I've seen is Lah's algbra.

YAY I GOTS JOB

I'm working at Broadmoor Fitness. Workout center, obviously. I gotta play with the kiddies and watch Land Before Time V about 5,000 times and play with baby dolls (heck, I didn't even do that when I was a kid) while their parents turn themselves into puddles of sweat.

Although, when there aren't any kids, I can't complain about being able to play Tetris and watch strong guys exercise. :]

Yeah, that sounds good.

Tetris-playing. Not guy-watching.

Heheh... I actually don't enjoy either one. I prefer Minesweeper. :3

Minesweeper - I like that game!
*turns on Minesweeper*

lol minesweeper.

Gawd, that was massive.

THAT IS AWESOME

Yay, I was up until 4 AM drawing because I had nothing better to do.

In some ways, it really sucks working at a gym.

You have to sit up front and watch guys stare and drool at the chicks working out (and this is people in their 40s and up, on both genders)... or they'll come in and work out all flirty-like with their 'girlfriend', and then at night he'll come back with the wife and kids. And we can't say anything, company policy.

Not to mention that as soon as you see the 40-year-old guy staring at the 20-year-old gals' butts for an hour, you really don't want to talk to them when they come back up to the front desk.

Last line: I can see why, thats creepy.

Yeh... not to mention my recent experience from last week.

Douglas Graves, pastor of Word of Faith Center for 28 years and aggressive warrior for the G12 Vision for God's Kingdom...

I will remember you always.

This song goes out to you.

Ever have that late-night feeling where you have all this creativity pent up inside but don't know how to get it out? Like you feel as if you have, for a short time, a port in which you could perfectly transcribe all your emotions onto paper or some outlet of creativity, if only you had a piece of paper... but then when you get one, you don't know what to draw or write, or just have too many ideas going in your head to focus on one?
I get that a lot.
It's frustrating.
Honestly, if I knew how to harness that, I'd get so much more practice in, and I'd be a lot better at drawing.

I get that too, it makes me mad, because I just want to sleep.

...I get awesome ideas for drawing subjects.

Then I can't figure out a way to transcribe them onto paper.

I hate it when that happens.

Yep, got that feeling again.

The new year is starting out interesting for me. It seems like everyone around me is falling apart. My oldest sister's just out of touch with reality and responsibility.
This is the second of three days in which I'm doing an Esther's Fast... it was my personal choice, just to get some questions answered and have some one-on-one time with God. It's been awesome and crappy at the same time - I love what I'm getting out of His Word and what He's told me so far... but I want food. This fast is no food, just juices and milk (to sustain me, at least). I love the variety my mom's been getting me, but honestly... I could really use a slice of pizza right now.
Well, as Paul (one of the coolest guys that ever lived) said, "I beat my body into submission." I'm glad to be doing this, and it's been doing wonders for me... but I'm certainly not going to do it that often. I like my food. :)
One more day! It's gonna be awesome!

On another note, I hate Pedialyte. All I've ever gotten is 'fruit' flavor (wow, that's specific. Tastes like peach) and it reminds me of the freshman days when I was always sick. Glugh.

I love having an iPod completely full with awesome new music... <3

Hmm. I ought to go find a cool picture to put in my sig.

Today's Lyrics: While You Were Sleeping by Casting Crowns
United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children

Win of the day:

Oh, forgot to mention. I'm officially unemployed.

i dont understand how the even stevens kid is the next indiana jones

wtf

WHAT?

I didn't watch the movie, but... that's sad.

Shia LeBeouf is driving me crazy. when I went out on Saturday to see What Happens in Vegas, we saw a preview for Indy IV and my girlfriend said "I wanna see that. Mainly because Shia LeBeouf is in it. And he's gorgeous."
I told her I hated him.

Gorgeous???

HOLY CRAP

the hell is that?

A grossed-out baby.

The best grossed-out look I could find.

NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM I LOVE IT

Hurrah!

YUS

Though I must get it looked at. Every time I click on an entry box, like this, or a screen name or password box, or anything of the sort, it fills it with tons of U's. And it keeps adding them at random times as well. Plus, I have to jam the keys whenever there's a uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (see?) letter or symbol in which IUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (arg) use the shift key.

Observe:
This isu some sort of test thing, and I Udon't know what to type. m, the uquick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. I thuiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunk it's whenever IUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu click on something close to u, like I. and the shift thing's annoying too. So itu's hard to capitalize, pnctuuate, and press the u button.
Hmm. Yeah, I want to go get this checked out because it's really starting to piss me off.

*Ustabs Vista as wellUUuuuUUU*

Shia LeBeouf > LIFE.

Eurgh.

Hmm. A key on a laptop repeating? It sounds almost like it's stuck... but that would be such a simple answer you must have already ruled it out. \:

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Yes, primarily because ituuuuuuuu'usuu not when I actually touch the U button.

Also, it's getting harder and harder to uuse punctuation that requires the shift key. I have to pound it time and again, and StickyKeys is having a field day.

Rant time. I can't stand it any longer.

I'm tired of those who assume that all I believe is solely based on faith. I'm tired of people thinking that I have nothing to push me in this direction, no proof, nothing but blind childish acceptance.

Maybe you haven't experienced the kind of Christianity I know because you were never into it, or you weren't in a great church, or whatever. That's not the case for me. I've been in churches that were blind and hopeless, and I can tell you right now that that is not where I am today.

Maybe it's just because I can't even DESCRIBE what I've experienced before.
You want proof? Look for it in the right places.
I have seen an elderly woman, weak and sick, walking with a cane, with a constant twitch, healed right before my eyes.
My boyfriend Isaac has healed a woman of arthritis in Christ's power.
My leader Jim Hoard has healed a man (not even saved), with a large cut down his arm, healed before his very eyes.
My leader Megan Jordan asked Christ to show himself so she would never doubt again. In front of her, a tree was struck by lightning and fell to the ground. She heard (yes, an actual audible voice) God say, "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Is anything impossible for me?" She is of course without doubt now.
In trying to convert her unsaved friend, Megan was told by her friend that they would never believe in God unless she saw proof. Megan called out in faith, "God, I believe right now that you are going to show yourself, and show that you are God Almighty and you can do anything!" In an instant, the clear sky became cloudy, and it rained, and lightning boomed above them. Megan thanked God and asked that as further proof, he would make it stop. It did, everything cleared up.

I have seen Ruckins McKinley, a well-known prophetic pastor in WA, bring girls from my church up to the stage. He told them exactly what they'd been praying about, and gave them closure. One of them, Megan's sister, started crying. He told her all she had been praying about that morning, where she was, and that God heard her. He gave her answers to her prayer.

I'd like to hear anyone try to explain speaking in tongues. When I got one-on-one with God, nothing between me, crying out to Him, I experienced the Holy Spirit for the first time. I can speak in tongues now, languages that I don't know.
If it was just babbling, I wouldn't be able to do it. Trust me, I tried faking it back in my old blind traditional church, and it didn't really work.
Yes, go ahead and try explaining how people can speak languages they've never spoken before, and when people who hear them can speak that language, they can translate every word of it, perfectly spoken and glorifying Christ.
Read Acts 1 for the beginning of this.

You know why you think I'm all about faith and I have no hope? Because even if I told these things to you, you wouldn't believe. Right now you're sewing all sorts of doubt and criticism in your head, about how I don't know anything and none of this is true.
I know what I've seen and you can't convince me otherwise.

If you want to experience God, don't go to the first church you see. Don't go to the first person that calls themself a Christian. Would you go ask a Honda dealership how to fix your Ford?

As I've said before, I'm not perfect. No one is. I sincerely apologize for when my actions don't follow my beliefs,l but please bring it to mind in a kind way, and I will seek to fix it. I am actually working on my character, unlike some high-minded people.

Don't say that everything spiritual is just 'faith'. Some things you experience aren't faith. But how will you believe it unless I have proof?
Say I don't believe you have a brain. I don't see it, I don't hear it, I don't feel it. So how can I believe it? You can show me MRIs, pictures, whatever. But I can say that those can be wrong, that I can't depend on it unless I see, hear, or feel it. But you know you have one, because you know you can think. You know you have thoughts, and you know it's there. How do you show me the truth?
Is faith really that incredible to you? You have faith for a lot of things, even though you think you have 'proof'.

I have proof. I have experiences, including those I can't even describe to you. But you won't believe it unless you get out of your hard-headed mind and say, hey, I might not just be making all this up.
I have heard God's voice. I have experienced relationship with him, and I continue to. He guides me with the Bible and with my conscience, and when I go away from that, I experience the consequences as I should.

So sulk in disbelief all you want. Truth is, you're more blind than you even think I am.

Also, as people debate the validity of the Bible (often knowing infuriatingly little about the subject), they should do a little math.

-The Old Testament was written far before the New Testament; this is a historical fact.
-The book in the OT named 'Isaiah' contains 333 prophecies about the life, accomplishments, and results of Jesus Christ and the time in which he lived.
The New Testament contains the Gospels, four corresponding accounts of the life of Christ, written by his apostles at slightly different times. This is also historical fact.
-Jesus, whether you believe he actually did what the Bible says or not, was a man who actually existed. This is also historical fact; look it up.
-The combined accounts of the life of Christ fulfills all 333 prophecies made by Isaiah, and prophecies made by David in Psalms, which were written over 400 years before Jesus was born.

Also, those who believe the Bible is without historical evidence are ignoring a lot. Research the non-Biblical doctrines that correspond with events, historical accounts, and people in the Bible, created by those who were not believers. There are many - I will link a few, if you wish.
