the life of.....

Gotta tissue for your issue

2006-10-03T23:46:00.000-07:00

This was sick.. enjoy it, laugh alot...and yes people i did send the letter:

Dear Sir/Madam;Myself and my two room mates were in your 7-11 store on Ellice and Arlington in Winnipeg MB on Wednesday October 4th 2006 at approximately 12:30am. We were horrified to look over at the counter and whiteness your staff on duty picking his nose. I don’t mean a tiny wipe, it lasted at least 45 seconds and he was digging very deeply. We were absolutely disgusted, if you look on your security camera, you will be disgusted as well. We are appalled that a customer service provider would act this was, especially with customers in the store. It was disgusting to think that he was handling our food. Needless to say we left the hot dogs behind and opted for pre wrapped food. My friends and I do not find this to be a joking matter, and would appreciate something be done about your employee. Thank you for your understanding regarding this issue and for listening to how upset we are.
Sincerely;
Jenn McCaughey

Quizical verse

2006-08-16T19:22:00.000-07:00

My bible verse of the day says this:

"Charm is Deceptive, and beauty if fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised" Proverbs 31:30

Its nice. But here is my confusion... does that mean that the woman should be praised or that her act of fear towards the Lord should be praised, or does it mean that the lord should be praised because he is feared.. I don't understand what should be praised here because God did say not to worship or praise anyone but him
HM! chomp on that and give me your thoughts....

2006-08-09T18:32:00.000-07:00

with dad snoring in the background, caitlin at work and mom out for her weekly message, i decided it was about time to update this darn thing. The summer has been long but thank God in 23 days it is comming to an end, at least in Cranbrook. I have LOVED working for canadian mental health, it has been sooo educational, and has made things I learned in the classroom this year make sense. lol.
I have been thinking alot about what september will look like. I am excited. Aside from the sad fact of a few friends not returning to school, the year is looking fantastic. For those of you who don't know, Jaime, Lydia and I have found a 3 bedroom house in Winnipeg we are SO excited to movein and have a place to call our own lol, instead of jaime's place. I hope to get more involved with Riverwood this year now that I have had a year to settle in there. I have thought about membership classes and I totally feel a calling to either start a small group for college/university adults or join one. I enjoy their stir program but feel the need for something smaller and more intimate. I will have to pray more about this.
Anyways for any of you near a bible book store, I have found this book called Chazown, its completely amazing and everyone should read it!
Anyways, I arrive at 1245am on sept 2nd and expect a HUGE airport party when I get there... Just kiddding of course.. I can not wait to get back to the peg!!!! See ytou all soon!!!!

woo been awhile!

2006-07-01T10:16:00.000-07:00

HAHA WOOOOAAAH it's been awhile... ready for the down and down, up and down.
Well I am back in bc, after making a pit stop in edmonton and meeting my now amazing boyfriend!
So what am I doing? Well I got hired with canadian mental health, I am working in a womens transition house and loving it. Like actually loving it.!!! I do adult support, crisis line calls, and I am also the child youth worker and I do a program called Me Time which is for kids who have been in or whitnessed abuse. The job is so challenging for me, for expample trying to teach a mother who has never learned how to be a mother, to properly care for and treat her child. It is so difficult I think because I have never been a parent myself. But the challange is great, it keeps me on my toes!
Dispite what I said at christmas, I am also back working at mcdonads anywhere between 25 and 30 hours a week. It's insane!!!!!! I feel like I never stop working but considering my lack of friends out here, if I wasn't working I'd be engolfed by lonliness.
speaking of golf! on July 28th I am getting paid to go golfing!!! Can you believe it! I am like a real bussiness woman or somehting lol. It should be interesting because I am no golfer thats for sure.
So my summer is half over, I can't wait to get back to the peg! I hope youa ll are having a great summer!
Toodles!~

tell me something beautiful...

2006-04-22T08:00:00.000-07:00

I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, princess, now when did You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over, sideways and under On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us noOr where to goOr say we're only dreaming A whole new worldA dazzling place I never knew But when I'm way up here It's crystal clear That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you Unbelievable sightsIndescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world Don't you dare close your eyes A hundred thousand things to see Hold your breath - it gets better I'm like a shooting starI've come so farI can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world Every turn a surprise With new horizons to pursue Every moment red-letter I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world That's where we'll be A thrilling chase A wondrous place For you and me

falling....

2006-04-14T13:00:00.000-07:00

Have you ever had your heart broken?Have you ever had it broken to the extent where it hurts to breath, and you feel like every breath is going to shatter it?Have you ever looked at someone and loved them?Have you ever hated yourself for loveing them?Have you ever loved so much that you cried over them?Have you ever loved some one so much that you can't cry over them?Falling is fun.. the free fall and excitiment.. but it comes to an end .. then you hit the rocks... falling isnt' fun.. falling hurts?why do we let ourselves fall in love? it hurts.. its painfull.. and why when we hit the rocks do we pick ourselves up, climb to the top of the peak and let ourselves vfall again only to feel the same fucking pain as before, as if we havn't learned anything.I dont want to climb the peak anymore, I want to get off the rocks and walk away.. how.. how do i do it>

soul mates...continued!

2006-03-26T12:44:00.000-08:00

There is one person in the world that can unlock that small door and connect with your soul. One person who can meet you there untimatly. I know that person. I'm lucky. But I have come to realize that just because that person is your soul mate does not mean that they are the person you are going to marry, or spend your life with. They can be your best friend and thats ok. It isn't like the movies where you have the instant connection and spend your lives together. Life is so unlike movies its crazy. Anyways. For all you ladies out there who are looking for your "soul mate" look to the unexpected, and hold no expectations when you find them, Hold onto the beuty that a soul mate is.

2006-03-19T11:55:00.000-08:00

The bread and cups of juice were placed neatly on the tables as we entered the sanctuary this morning, and I got that excited nervous feeling in my stomach. Communion.
The thought of communion start to run through my mind, the last supper, the comming together of the decsiples, the pure love and servant hood of each man in the room.
When I thought of communion today alot of the same picture ran through my mind. A room of christians gathered in one room to all do the same thing, praise God, love Jesus, and feel the spirit move.
One of the most beautiful things, which touched me was the sharing of bread.We all stand and form lines to reach one table, a table filled with the reminder of Jesus's life. Our hands all reach for the same thing, a cup of juice and a small piece of bread. Our mouths long for the taste of life, and our hearts cry for the reminder of love.
In my seat I watch how others bring juice and bread to others and I see something that to me was so beautiful. A man brings one piece of bread to share with his friends, and both hands hold the bread and they break it together. It was so.... wow.
They probally didn't think much of it. But the symbolism of breaking bread together was very cool.
I am not accustomed to communion, I didn't grow up with it at all in my church. But I am glad to know and understand it now

Soul Mates

2006-03-14T08:57:00.000-08:00

Do you believe in soul mates??
Do you believe that you can find one person that fills your other half, that makes you feel hole inside? And when you do find that person, if they exist, what is it supposed to mean?
There is a feeling that comes about, I think, when you know your soul mate. A feeling of completion, one different from that feeling you recieve when God fills you. It's a feeling of knowing that no matter what happens you have someone there that is gonna listen, and will never leave your side. This person knows you with out knowing every detail of your existence, you feel connected to them in a strange yet great way.
Interesting enough I know my soul mate, and I have never met him. In person that is, emotionaly I've met him on numorous occations. I don't think you have to be physicially in front of your soul mate, to have the connection, trust, and loyalty. I know that no matter what happens, no matter who we meet, him and I will always have a connection stronger then that of any friend I have, comfort, real comfort.
I love you R.C

OK OK ya'll want an update... well here is my life summed up in one word... STRESS. lol ok top 10 of my life right now..here goes
1. It is the time of year that we enter into the wonderful month of March, I used to love march, snow melting, sun shining, promises of spring... now its like... essays due, midterms to write, teachers to please dead lines to meet lol. but you know its all good. its part of university right??
2. Summer.. I love summer. Summer loves me. Only what am I supposed to do with myself this summer. For all you who care.. I applied back to PLC, but its still in question whats going to happen with that. If I don't go back there, its gonna be heading into a very unexciting summer in wonderful BC.. woot ... . woot.
3.I'm still seeing this great guy, tom and things seem to be going well.. hi if you read this.. we'll see what happens in the future, hopefully something in the near future ( DON'T WORRY, IM NOT RUSHING!!! lol)
4.I have an awesome group of friends here, mainly Holly, Jaime and Lydia.. they are my favorite, we went to Grand Forks for the night durring reading week and had A BLAST.. ya'll know how I get when I'm over tierd at 3am in the morning.. they got to know that side of me x 2 hours, I think that I almost got beaten up a few times lol.
5. I'm still attending river wood church, its awesome, I couldn't as for a better church to call my home, Iam loving every sunday,
6. Iam in this CRAZY class!! It's called Christian Growth and its.. wow. It has streatched me far beyond what I could ever imagine. How I pray, how I think of God, and more has been taken and shooken up, what I thought I knew feels like a milkshake at the present moment lol, but my prof has promised us that he will put it all back into perspective at the end.. please Jesus let this be true lol
7. My Daddy's cancer treatment is going pretty well. He has had a few set backs and some complications withthe sergery but he seems to be healing. His patients is wearing thin, and sitting around the house has become tiersome for him. If your the praying type and you read this, I'm sure he would appriciate some prayer.
8. My new years resulutions are making amazing progress! I'm glad to say that I have stuck to them very well. Although I do owe the potty mouth box $4.50.. but I promise Iam getting better lol. I'm glad to say that my friendship with Lilo is getting better, almost better than ever, praise Jesus I didnt screw that one up too much lol.. I love you hunny, and I know your going to do amazing things on your mission trip...plus my summer dress is starting to look so good!
I know I'm two short of 10 but honestly I can't think of anymore, I think what I have written pretty much covers my life to the present. I'm sorry I havn't written you guys but life is hectic at the moment.. I even called into work sick today because I have so much to do... ( no one tell them I lied.. ps Sorry God)
I'll try to keep ya'll more posted

Who cares if I vote!?

2006-01-15T13:01:00.000-08:00

At my church the last couple of weeks my pastor and a guest have been speaking about politics and what they have to do with God, our faith and what we belive in. Ill admit the mix up of bringing politians into church was at first a bit of an off set but it has been great to hear thier views and get a good idea for the comming election. But thats not what I'm here to say.
Today the guest speaker Roy B... something, spoke about Christians and how they have changed politics... did you know it was christians who changed laws on slavery, womens vote, public schools, public health, the list goes on. I never realized until church today how much God has been taken out of our Nation. The school system, gay marriages, the list goes on. But here is what really got me.. did you know that after 911 parliment hill had a memorial service and prayer was not aloud. PRAYER WAS NOT ALOUD AT A MEMORIAL SERVICE! Canada was the only country which did not allow prayer on this history marking event.
when I think about this the lyrics of our national anthem ring through my mind ... "God keep our land glorious and free." .. our anthem asks God to watch over us, it invites him into our dark nation, so why now is the government pushinghim out so hard and so fast. Doesn't feel free to me.
Now Im not saying that CAnada should be strictly christian, i have respect for those who choose different religion. But should we as voteing christians not vote for our beliefs? If christians could change slavery, womens rights, school systems etc, then why are we standing in the shadows this election.. statistics say that only 50% of christian canadians vote, thats 10% less than non christian canadians.
Take a stand this election, take an hour to read through or listen to some political debates. Vote for your beliefs, keep God in mind. Do'nt vote for a party who pushes God away, don't vote for a party who endorses sin. God cares about politics, he cares about our votes.
Take into condsideration everything before you place that vote.
Pray about your vote.
Endulge in scripture before you cast your vote
Do not let your beliefs and what you know is right be lost in politics
God wants to be a part of canada
Imagine what the government could do if it was God ordained
Christians of canada, place your vote

Third-To do well in school. This first semester was kinda easy, but its gonna get harder, and Im gonna focus and do really well.

mcdonalds

2005-12-29T14:09:00.000-08:00

So I've been working at mcdonalds since I got home .. just for 3 weeks for chrimstmas break, and while I've made quite a bit of money doing it I have come to the conclusion that I have no idea how anyone could be a "lifer" there. I look at the past year and the places i've been and gone and I can't imagine myself still being stuck at mcdonalds. So anyways it feels like, comming back and working at mcdonalds.. it feels like I took a step back in life, and it totally gives me all the more "incouragement" to finish my degree and get a career.
Now do'nt get mme wrong, its not a bad thing to be a lifer to some ppl, some ppl really like it.. i just could never do it

home...

2005-12-19T15:48:00.000-08:00

Awesome feed back on the whole christmas deal... remember guys its only one view point, im not saying im wrong or right, its just a blog.
anyways im home now, I have been for a few days. .... funny how nothing seems to change in the small town. BUt at the same time you come back and it feels like so much has changed.. make sense?
anyways I miss the big city, Iam deffinatly not cutt out for the small city bussiness, i miss my friends, and school.. odly,....
Dad update.. he needs radiation, which in the big view is good, but he has to get another scan called a PET scan and yeah we just found out that its gonna be like 2,000 bucks so keep that one in your prayers
other then that home is good, you can catch me at your local mcdonalds serving up ur fries and burgers,lol.. i suck
so I started tihs thing with this guy right before i left for home.. he called me at home the other day, it was pretty happy.. i can't wait to see where it goes!
Ok this was random.. adn my blg.. ciao

Christmas

2005-12-13T18:03:00.000-08:00

"JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON".. It's posted everywhere... but you know I was watching a commercial on TV the other day and they were singing.. I can't remember the song but they replaced merry christmas with happy holidays.. At work we are not aloud to say merry christmas we have to say seasons greetings... Did you know that society today says that saying the words "Merry Christmas" are offensive to the unbelievers.. it is not considered politically correct to say merry christmas....to me ppl thinkingthis is offensive, to me people who are against saying merry christmas offends me... what is offensive? Todays culture is so WACK! What is christmas... presents, santa, tree, snow... no! there was't even snow in bethlehem i bet. Christmas is about CHRIST .. narrow it down,.. presents coud ( i suppose ) represent what the wisemen brought to Jesus or even the gift of Jesus himself.. and the tree to me represents the tree that christ died on.. but when its narrowed down i mean narrowed down christmas is about Christ.. his comming to earth, his birth. All the junk aobut santa and gifts and such... its aspects... but the reason, the truth is Christ. There would be no CHRISTMAS with out Chirst. Change somethign this season, refuse to say happy holidays, or seasons greetings say Merry Christmas, be proud of the truth you live, do'nt replace the work "christmas" with x-mas just because you are too lazy to write the word.... do not X christ from christmas.
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON... dont let it die out..don't let those words be taken away.. don't let the billboards or the pins, the commercials, or the posters disapear, belive in it and pray that the unbelievers will know christmas truly this season

Another B-Day...

2005-11-19T22:19:00.000-08:00

Another Birthday come and gone. Only one year left till I start into the crazy 20's and the ages of getting old.. jk.Crazy how fast one year goes.... or 19 of them. This time last year I was partying my life away.. now I'm in Winnipeg going to school.. it feels strange. It feels so wierd that one year ago I had no direction for my life and now I have this hole plan infront of me. Finish school with my bachelor, beging counselling families, work up words possibly getting my masters to open my own clinical practice, get married... and baby you knwo who you are. Its so wierd. And you know its not just one year that has changed me. Last night in less then 4 hours my hole view on things as a christian was changed. The way I talk, the sexual morality, the swearing, the putting down of others. I can't believe I was that girl. In less then 4 hours God opened my eyes and my ears to what was going on around me and it made me sick listening to what was going on and knowing that I was part of that. Anyways a new year and a new girl i guess. i mean I'm not saying WAM i've been changed, im saying BAM WOW God you have talked to me and here Iam laying it down infront of you willing to make the change. Willing to get involved in the church instead of the bar, willing to make the friends that are going to help carry me through this journey and challenge me to your glory. Here Iam. You called and iam answering. So 18 to 19 not a huge jump. But an 18 year old view to the view I have now, huge jump. So here's the deal. Seems how all of you who read this care about me, ya'll need to help me with this, keep me inline, the bose and imoratlity need to stop. I need to be sold out! Ok im done! love you guys!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

2005-11-17T12:36:00.000-08:00

Not the playing type...... the kind you get in the mail. I love them! I have gotten a few for my birthday already and I love it! They are so warm. Its so great to know that people actually think about you. Once upon a time I hated cards lol I thought they were a waste of money but honestly they are so nice.

Okay, now that I have your attention I just wanted to blog for a bit.... I've had a discouraging week. After the first 2 months of school flying by and me getting good grades on everything I've hit a spot and I can't get out. For the last week everything I have handed in I have had handed back with horrible grades on them. 60% and lower...... BRUTAL!!!!! I dunno what I'm doing different but they just arn't seeming to pic up. Im so discouraged. One of the worse, I handed in an annotaed bibliography, my 2 friends handed in the same one.. they BOTH got higher grades.. I think I've made God mad or something lol Anyways hopefully it will pick up. ... hmm.. what else is new. I've kinda met a guy but no details.... maybe to you tink lol. Anyways aside from the grades things are good!!!! I have no funny stories to tell .... haha ok im gone.. love ya all

2005-10-26T08:53:00.000-07:00

Im pleased to report that things with God are getting... well better... still rough buty oud on't just come outta mudd clean right! My good bye to the boys oath is holding strong lol.. although it seems like just when you've given up things come up. A visit from my past has kinda thrown my emotions into reverse.. but its all good, I have gone four years with out this guy and I can go the rest of my life.. crazy how one changes though.. anyways enough of that.. life is grand, winnpeg is pretty good .. i know SUPPIRSE but honest its good... ppl read this stuff!!!

To The Boys....

2005-10-12T20:37:00.000-07:00

To the boys who make me laugh and the boys that make my cry, to the boys who break my heart and the boys who make them swell. To the boys who spread rumors about me and the ones who say great things about me. To the boy*not plural* who I think of everyday, regret my past, and want to cry about when I think of him, good bye. To all of you who have tried to help me get over him and have put up with my incababilites of getting over and moving on, and my undecided mind. Good bye. Good bye to the boys. Hello to the real life.
Good bye to the girl that killed a mans soul, the girl who fooled around with any guy who showed interest. To the easy girl, to the girl who is no more. Good bye. Hello to the new girl, the seriouse girl.
Regrets last forever, heartache kills a soul, and tears roll daily. But laughter brightens a life, friends make life sweet and true love heals regrets, and heart ache and dry the tears.....

The Rapture

2005-10-11T07:43:00.000-07:00

.... scarry words they. I mean if you just say Rapture its not scarry at all but as soon as you say The Rapture ppl shake in their boots, and so they should. I'm starting to realize that things seem to be clicking together. I mean in scripture in Revalations it talks about what is going to happen before the return of Christ and friends it seems like we are living the path. Terrorist attacks, Tsunami's, hurricanes, tornados, famine, disease, spiritual warefare,poverty,hatred. Scriputes lay all of these out, it says there will be a time of trial, disaster, poverty.. etc. Sure it could just be that our world is one effed up place, who knows. But if you compare scripture to what the world is looking like today, you will see the resemblance I see. So is it scarry? I'm not sure. But I think now is the time to look at your life, to look at your walk with God, and to be strong in him. But something beautiful of it all.. He's comming back, no one knows when, but he is comming back and it will be so miraculouse, Jesus riding on a white cloud.. I think the whole world will stop in awe of his presence... wow... The Rapture

2005-10-05T08:04:00.000-07:00

To the boy woh makes me think there is something more, and never lets a day go by. To the boy who'd face is stuck in my head. To the boy who has amazed me with his loyalty and friendship. The boy who makes me laugh, cry and scream. To **** ****** the boy who will never be more

To the boy....

2005-09-29T14:24:00.000-07:00

To the boy who makes me forget my ex, the boy who makes me get butterflies and nervous whenever he walks into the room. To the boy who makes me forget my problems and want to move on, the one who has taught me how to laugh again and search for God's love. To the boy who likes me for my personality and thinks I am beautiful. You don't know how much I want to be with you, you don't know how much trust I've put into you. To the boy who breaks my heart when I see him, to the boy who's stuck, to **** *****.... the boy who has stolen my heart......

The things you can't have

2005-09-28T19:20:00.000-07:00

Its like when your a kid and you see a chocolate bar on the counter and if you stand on your tipee toes you know that you will be able to reach it,,.. a little taller and you could have it... then mom comes along and see's you reaching and that is the end of it, she points out that its not yours and you can not eat it. thats how i feel right now... I'm the kid wanting what I can not have. One of the only things that makes me happy right now that I want to move onto somethign better with I can't, only one thing standing in the way and i can't change it. It sucks.... this dioesn't make sense to any ofyou haha.. ciao

2005-09-27T21:23:00.000-07:00

20 My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
24 Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Make level [a] paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.
27 Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

Proverbs 4:20-27

2005-09-26T15:35:00.000-07:00

Cause when I’m weak, You make me strong When I’m blind, You shine Your light on me Cause I’ll never get by living on my own ability How refreshing to know You don’t need me So I’ll stand on Your truth, and I’ll fight with Your strength Until You bring the victory, by the power of Christ in me If You ask me to run And carry Your light into foreign land If You ask me to fight Deliver Your people from satan’s hand To reach out with Your hands To learn through Your eyes To love with the love of a savior To feel with Your heart And to think with Your mind I’d give my last breath for Your glory..casting crowns...........

weekend glory

2005-09-18T18:46:00.000-07:00

I started my new job on Friday... I hated it. I hated everything that this lady said to me in her smug voice, she treated me as if I knew nothing and like I had never worked a day in my life for this company. I hated the way she put E city centre down and I hted the way she looked at me! I have never been so grateful for another woman to come talk to me in my life! Thank the lord I wont have to work with her on a normal basis. Anyways it's not ECC and I miss it there so much! I think I'm gonna try to get transfered to The Bay down town cause I'd rather hate work close to home then 40 mins away.
We went clubbing after work on Friday night it was alot of fun. Aside from the near babysitting of a friend. It was funny to watch him hit on the ladies and get turned down from each one. But I gotta say the most entertaining part of the night was the cab ride hom.. you all wanna hear about it? Ok well if Victor and Eddy read this then I guess they will remember the night! So I finally convince Victor to get in the cab ( after we had been kicked out of the club because he was too drunk.. lol ih ope you all can visulise this because im killing myself laughing. ANyways so he keeps kissing my cheeks then leaning over me and kissing Lydia's cheeks and although I try to stop him it doesn't work ... then he starts biting! GOSH can he bite hard, I actually have a bruise on my stomach that still hurts so I have to hold his head against the window so that he will stop lol but as soon as i let him go he is back to doing it again.. ok this next part is told better by lydia....... " So im sitting beside Jenn looking out the window and all of a sudden i hear the scream.. NOOOOOO.. I look beside me and Victor has her in a locked possition and he is trying to kiss her, not trying, secceeding but she is restiting with all she's got, i didn';t know wether to stop it or laugh, but i ended up having to pull victor off Jenn." LOL ok seriously im laughing so hard.. so the cab finally stops at home and we get victor up to bed ( but not with out him trying to make out with poor unsuspecting melanie in the eleveator then biting her) so we think he is good until he s tarts running around the school in his boxers... oh gosh. Anyways good night lots of laughs.
So saturday night i went to the african church it was alot of fun but now i know how it feels to be the only person of "colour" in a coloured world.. it was strange.... ok im done BYE

Perfect Imperfection.. Pt 2!

2005-09-15T09:35:00.000-07:00

It's funny how something... an idea we'll say, can seem SO good and SO perfect until you actually put it into action. It's amazing how fast the perfect idea turns into an akward, unrewarding, thing that you do for what? self gratificatoin? self confidence? or just a good time? Why is it that we allow our selves to do things when we know its wrong, when we get that pit in our stomachs that tells us not to do and and then like idiots we go ahead and we do it anyway all for the simple matter of pleasuring ourselves... its rediculous. Just as GOLD is not perfect, the "perfect" idea fails to exist along with many other imperfections

Two for One!

2005-09-13T16:45:00.000-07:00

My friend Naomi is pregnant!!!!!!! Iam so excited. I knew this before but today I found out that she is having TWINS!!! so not only do I get to be the coolest Auntie to one kid but TWO!!! It's really exciting, she is gonna be an amazing mom I know it! Congrats Noams!!! PS...... I WANT UR BABIES... but only for short periods of time at once!
I went and saw parts of down town Winnipeg today... I 'll admit some parts are nice, there was these few streets we walked on and they had all thse like vintage shops and stuff it was awesom.. we were in a hurry though and so I didn't get to go shopping which is probally a good thing for me. Do'nt you think it's ironic how vintage costs more then new? I do.
Anyways on this little adventure I completly avoided my study time and not it's nearly 7 and I havn't cracked a book SO I'm cutting this one short Ciao .. to who ever reads this ... Eddy I think you might be the only one :( WEll in that case I love you for it!

Eddy the Brazilian

2005-09-11T17:55:00.000-07:00

This is for you Eddy. I met Eddy this year at college, he is from brazil and he is a pretty cool guy. Sometimes he speaks in portugese and I really can not understand what he is saying and it is frustrating but I laugh anyway.. why because thats what I do best. I would think that Brazil is a cool place to come from..... maybe I'll go one day.. HEY EDDY I CAN VISIT YOU! haha. ok this is done! Eddy your cool and I like being your friend!!!! EH PINTUDU!!!!

Today is Saturday

2005-09-10T18:25:00.000-07:00

Saturday night bordum.....as if my day isn't boring enough now I'm sitting in the computer lab on the only night off I have. I suppose it's not so bad really. Dispite the minor details of not working msn and no one else being around, I havnt seen the basement gohst yet... I'm doing well. Ever wonder where everyone else is... what they are doing? Or do you think back on what was yesterday... thats a good thought. The trials of yesterday, what they made you realize, how they freaked you out, how they changed you for all of .... well less then 24 hours. interesting. It's funny you know to think. have you ever thought about what your thoughts are ... or for that matter thought about changing what your thoughts are? I think that is imposible... but it would be fun to try. ..... I came across a picture today, one that made me have regrets all over again.. so i deleted it.. .just like that, as if I could delete history.... it'd be fun to do that, delete the parts that you don't want to see again...... I havn't talked to my best friend in a week, really it feels like months. What happened to the best friend he was? What happened to the best friend I was? I think its a lost cause.... funny when you grow up you lose the things that mean the most to you and gain the things that will forever change your life. What is a best friend? Is there such a thing... best is like saying perfect and there is no such thing... so is their such a thing as a best friend?........ saturday night rambles ... enjoy

Perfect Imperfection

2005-09-09T22:58:00.000-07:00

The Gold Boy on top of the parliment building made me think today. My initial reaction to it was a laugh followed by the coment.. ahh gold is perfect, but the perfect boy is not here. In reply my friend Simon says.. GOLD IS NOT PERFECT! Well that was deffinatly proved! The perfections of imperfections are amazing. No one is perfect... thre is no perfect guy! Walla Jenn has come to a point! Seriously.... the wasted nights I have spent crying and dwelling over what I thought was perfect was a perfect waste of time. The only perfect love is that of the love of Christ and seems how my "perfect" guy is not christ I really have nothing to be upset about. But what about the others? How do you know who to give a chance to and who to lay off of? How do you read the Golden boy!.... its a perfect imperfection

2005-09-09T16:26:00.000-07:00
