Beefloaf says I have to.

2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What's there? The Ceiling. I'm up in the loft.

5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time? 1:08 AM

6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? Distant cars, but then the computer started humming...

7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing? 8:59 PM, tonight. I was leaving work to go home.

8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at? Beeefloaf's blog, where I discovered he'd tagged me. I'm trying to stop procrastinating, so here I am.

9. What are you wearing? My pajamas.

10. Did you dream last night? yes. And it was weird.

11. When did you last laugh? Hmm, that I remember, at work, when one of the guys had a thread hanging off his clothes and didn't get the way I told him, but then his friend thought it was hilarious.

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in? Some Psalms, a Panthers Sticker (the local highschool) The Valentine's letter Jacob wrote in... A long time ago. And random scribblings. (The walls are just unfinished drywall)

26. What website are you looking at? The one where you write the posts.

27. What colour are your eyes? blue.

28. What's the first thing you remember doing? Waiting for my mom to get home from the grocery store. I was standing at the window in my nightgown, that was flannel. It was either that or Priscilla getting mad at me for climbing into bed with her and making a mess.

29. Who is the biggest influence to something you enjoy doing? My mom taught me to read. My cousin taught me to knit. Jason's dad taught me play guitar. My dad says it's ok to be abnormal, and that's got to be what I enjoy most.

30. If you could be animal which would you be and why? Such a hard question! Swim, Fly, Run.... I think I'd like to fly, so maybe a Hawk.

Golly, It's been a while. I don't even remember what I wrote last. Or when. Let's see.....

The news is:

I'm not in school this semester, saving money to go next. I'm thinking about changing my major, again.

My mom leaves for Nepal a week from yesterday. She's going to teach at a conference for the Christian ladies there.

Brian, my sister's boyfriend, is joining the Marines to be a translator. After he wins at the National Tae Kwon Do competition.

My uncle is in Kosovo, and my aunt is back from Kuwait.

I'm going to Peru at the end of January, if the Lord allows everything to go smoothly.

The Christmas music is coming out. At least, I'm listening to it.

I think I'm an iPod snob. Like, I snob iPods. When Anastasia was deciding whether to get and iPod or a Creative, I rallied for the Creative, and that's what she got, and Fletcher also got a Creative, instead of a Nano. nAno?

Um. Somehow I feel more like an adult now. Sometimes? Or maybe, people see me as one, when I'm not with my family? I don't really feel like one. I still feel twelve.

No, Joe, I did not roll my eyes at you. How could I do that?? At You?? Seriously, dude.

Jars of Clay Next Month!!!! WOOT!!!!
