The quote is from Batman Begins. Excellent movie. :)

 

Welll…I almost forgot my password for this blog! It’s been a LONG time! Too long, I’m afraid. I’m also afraid that’s a movie quote. And I don’t remember from where. =D Oh well.

 

Well, let’s see. The trees are beginning to leaf out here, the grass is getting greener, and I’m loving it more and more every day. Winter is depressing, I think. This year, I found it hard to write all winter long. If you know me, you know I love to write. But, I literally could not write anything. It was terrible. But, with spring coming (and here, really) I’ve been able to write again. It’s glorious. =)

 

This weekend is Easter weekend. Our church is putting on a drama for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. It should be really cool. I’m considering writing a short story on one of the (fictional) characters we created for the drama part. (I say we, I mean Daddy) So, I’m excited about the Easter Program (as it is affectionately known at our church) being this weekend! But, even more….do you know what’s after Easter? NO????

 

CHURCH CAMP! Sorry for all of you wonderful people who just rolled your eyes and sighed. You haven’t ever been to my church camp. And if you have, you haven’t ever been with our group. It…well, words don’t describe church camp very accurately. I love it. I’d live there, if they’d let me. =D But, they won’t. =(

 

Also after Easter, my brother, his girlfriend and I are going to the Skillet concert! I can’t wait! It’s Skillet, Disciple, and Decypher Down. I love Skillet and Disciple, and really like DD’s new stuff, so I am absolutely jacked (to borrow Luke’s colloquilism). We’re going with a cousin of ours, so it should be pretty amazing. Daniel said we got pretty good seats too. Not that I expect to sit overmuch. =P

 

We didn’t have Spanish this week! It was…different. It didn’t really feel like Tuesday without leaving the house at 8:30 in the morning and going and sitting in class for two hours. Granted, I got Algebra done. But I’m not sure which I’d rather do, Spanish or Algebra? Probably Spanish, to be brutally honest.

 

We don’t have school tomorrow, since it is Good Friday. I can’t wait for this weekend. I love celebrating Easter. It’s always been one of my favorite holidays, not only because of the EP, but because, for me, as a Christian, it’s an awesome time to really consider and focus on Christ’s death. But, even more important for me, His Resurrection! His Resurrection is simply a foretelling of ours to come, even though it’s also so much more. It’s so neat to think that someday we too will be resurrected. But, it’s also neat to think about the resurrection that has already occurred when Jesus rose from the dead. I love Easter.

 

I believe I’m going to go finish cleaning my room. =) What a lovely thought.

Wow, I’m actually posting.

Well, I guess I’ll just tell you about my birthday in this post. It was Sunday, the 16th of November. Maybe….I repeat maybe, I’ll post pictures sometime. It was actually pretty cool.

The day before Mom and I went shopping for clothes, and then after Daniel’s basketball tournament (which they won) we went to eat at Marketplace for my birthday. Daniel was MVP of the tournament, by the way.  Anyways, the day of, I got up about 8, showered, got dressed for church, did my hair and makeup, ate breakfast (leftovers from the Men’s Breakfast, yum!), and then we all opened presents. Then Sunday School…Bro. Gary told me I was getting old, and gave me a very large kiss on the cheek, and made all the guys and the girls sing to me…which was sweet, but…embarassing. That afternoon, we went up to church about 3 (after leaving about 1, to go home and eat birthday lunch which was fried chicken, oatmeal cheese bread, french fries w/ gravy, cake, and stuff) to play ping-pong. We had leadership class at 4, and then afterward, my mom suprised me by bringing cake and cheese dip (my favorite!) to class for us to snack on…which we did. :P Then we had class, the service, and all that stuff……..

Yup, so there’s my birthday. I spent most of it at chuch, but, hey, it was cool with me. And, the next weekend in our tournament, we won our first game of the season!!!!!! I was so excited…but, we should’ve won.

Okay, I’ve gotta stop rambing. I gotta go now.

Oh, and one last thing: a couple of days after my last post we went and saw Madagascar 2! It was awesome!

Sooo….I haven’t posted in….a long time???? A verryyy long time. But, yes, I am alive…who would post if I were dead? *slowly strokes chin* Things to ponder.

But, anyways, for now, on to business…or something. What have I been doing????

  1. Basketball-we’ve had two games so far, practice twice a week….and….*dum da dum dah!* I have rolled my ankle twice (once tonight, once about a month ago), chipped a tooth, skinned my knee, almost got a black eye, and numerous bruises and scratches. I’m a rather…uh, agressive basketball player. ;)
  2. I got braces! Yeah, much lots fun and all that jazz….but, no, it’s actually pretty cool, and, the sores and gashes in my mouth are healing quite nicely, I think. I think I’ve eaten everything I wasn’t supposed to…in all of the three weeks I’ve had them. :) I’m talented like that.
  3. I’m in 9th grade. Enough said. I’m wayyyyy busy with school.
  4. I’m working as a volunteer part-time secretary for my Dad. Meaning, I go and organize his office, clean said office, sort mail, throw away old papers, and generally do all those secretary things…it’s pretty fun, and I’m told it’ll look great on my transcript. :P No, I really do enjoy doing it. It’s pretty much a blast.
  5. On top of all that stuff, I have orchestra, spanish class, church activities (I recently got to do a Fall Festival at the church…well, I helped anyways…it was a lot of fun!!), sleeping, eating, breathing, blinking…oh, and I try to have a social life too. :P Yup, I have a busy life!
  6. Add, on top of all that, blogging at Soli Deo Gloria, and pondering a few different missions opportunities for this summer, and…you’ve got my life.

Oh, and my birthday is coming up!!! I’ll be fifteen! I can’t decide if I’m excited…I mean, I am…but, do I really wanna get older? Oh well, I guess I do. :P

Tomorrow we have a homeschooly get-together thing, and then a highschol fellowship tomorrow evening, and then a hayride Saturday night. That’s the whole social life thing. :)

Oh, and…be sad. I’m not doing NaNoWriMo. Why??? Go read my post again. There you go! I’ll tell you more about it sometime…right now I believe I need to go and try to sleep for a while…beautiful thought, huh?

oh, and the quote in the title is mine, I’m afraid. I made it up one day playing basketball.

 

Soooo…what shall we discuss??? How about politics? My favorite! :) Not really, but…up there.

So, what are thoughts on the vice-presidential candidate debate? I heard part of it on the radio, and read about it on several websites, as well as reading the transcript. Oddly enough, I found the most interesting part to be when they were talking about which was worse: a nuclear Pakistan, or a nuclear Iran. Very interesting to hear each of their opinions. Also, I enjoyed hearing what they had to say about what would happen if either McCain or Obama died.

I thought Gov. Palin did a very good job last night. I’ve heard her critiqued as unprofessional, unpolitically, and just a bad speaker, relying too heavily on light-hearted quips. However, I have to disagree. I thought that while she might not be the greatest politician in the world, she gives it to you straight-up, and she tries to relate it back to the people. While Senator Biden was smooth, and may have answered questions better, I believe that the general favor for this debate goes to Palin.

What say you?
