Back my computer
Sleep
Take a shower
Finish this blog
Go to Russ's B&R and say bye bye
Go to Walgreens and get stupid pictures I didn't print off before
Sleep
Eat breakfast
Put the things laying around my room away so it isn't a mess for 6 mos
Did I mention sleep?

My plane leaves at 10am so I need to be there by 9am at least, and then that means leaving here by 7:45am according to mother, and friends will be here at 7:30am, and because of all the things I still need to accomplish, I will have app. 3 nazi people in there. Yeah, it made sense to my brain, and I think I was trying to talk about sleep, and how little I will be getting. Good night my eyes and brainsss hurt

----WANTED----

2005-12-01T22:24:00.000-06:00

READ HERE!!!

DESCRIPTION:
This wanted ad is for someone who is willing to go to the extreme,
To take risks beyond normal happenings
To bodly go where no one has gone before
Willing to undergo stress not common to them
Unafraid of unfamiliar places and people
Outgoing
A friend of mine, or someone willing to become one

REWARD:
Absolutely none
Actually, you miss out on something most dear to most people
The knowledge that you love me
And would sacrifice things for me
Time away from your family?

NAME:
Driving with me to Western Nebraska
Bridgeport to be exact
Over........
Christmas.

You see, I don't want to drive by myself the whole way, and my parents can't go with me. The problems are, you would be gone over Christmas, and a few days before. However, I would bring you home on the 26th, for I have a wedding to attend on the 27th. If no one can come with me, that is alright. I would be with my dad's sisters most of the time, and their families. I must communicate to them about my OM and missions plans. So you would be kinda bored. At times. Bridgeport, for those of you who don't know, is a town of 1,500 people, and they have a Rec Center, and thats about all. Well, food places, but the nearest entertainment and things are about a half hour to an hour away. My cousins get cable. I don't know anything about where I would stay or anything. Contact me via email (nycechristiangirl@yahoo.com) or phone (402-435-6656) for more information.

thanks for reading.

Dating......

2005-11-29T22:03:00.000-06:00

Dad's rules for boyfriends:

Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so
Long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep
your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do no, in fact come off during the Course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "Barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other,We should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: "early."

Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holdinghands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce My daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other Than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless God of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the Sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a Clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged Face at the window is mine. But, before you even think of dating my daughter, you'll have to fill out the Application.

So much chaos, so much drama. All I was trying to do was help. I am sorry for the confusion I caused and for the shyt that happened.
Has anyone wondered what the person that everyone depends on to be cheerful and encouraging does when they get stressed? Let me tell you what. They hide it, because if they show it, then people will think that they are mad, and then that makes it worse. But this not showing of emotions builds up to a max point. But can they show? NO. People are depending on them. And their nature is not to let people down. This is why when they have problems, people freak out. These normally calm people FREAK OUT and dont act normal. OH NO?!?!

Sorry.

So, I'm appologizing for attempting to help. I realized today that there is no one that can help this but the people in it and God. This shyt isnt getting resolved without God's intervention. No I am not going for pity or anything. But I am also not taking the blame for this. This shyt is all their, and I was SO FREAKIN HAPPY when he told me to stay out of it. YOU HAVE NO IDEA! HAPPINESS! I don't want any part of this. I can't help them at all. I make it worse. Yup. No helpo fromo meo.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love you to peices. I want us to be okay. But I am leaving it up to you and hoping for the best. Just because I am not talking to you doesn't mean I hate or am mad at you. Its giving you space. And me space. You come to me this time. I love you. That covers everything, but just because it covers everything doesn't mean that the consequences go away.

Call me.

I love you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So many things have gone through my mind the last five hours. So many thoughts, so much anger, so much sadness. Confusion. I don't know what to do. I have to trust that it will all work out. Oh God this is so hard! What lesson am I supposed to be learning from this? Or is the lesson not for me? And that makes the lesson me learning how to be used by You.
Stuff would kill me, or I would kill me, but God holds me when I fall and doesn't let me go. The verse of my life currently is Romans 8:28a "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him." Without this verse, and the faith to believe it, wow. I don't want to think about it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Girl, I heart you. But I'm gonna wait till you want me. I can't start anything. Don't forget about me though. I'll be here waiting.
