Thursday, November 13, 2003 Happy Birthday to my brother John who is now a quater of a century old! *gasp* Man John is 25, I'm 20 and Jackie is now 10! Sheesh when did he get into the double digits??? (exactly one week before John to be exact) Goodness...I don't even want to think about how old my parents are. Okie does anyone find this dorky? (I'm thinkin' back part laughin'...part "what the???") My school mascot was a shoe. Not just any shoe, a saddleshoe. And our gymnasium was the "saddledome." Great...fantastic and clever ain't it? If you don't know what they look like here's a picture. Although there are different colors, each and every "Reginite" had to wear black and white ones. And guess speakers would be so fascinated by them when the whole auditorium was filled with girls in the exact same shoes. When I wore mine, I felt as though I was wearing clown shoes. But I do miss my uniform though...made life simple. And to top if all off...my class mascot was a purple and silver monkey named marty. That thing was hideous...boy...I miss highschool. *cough cough* At least the folowing class would have a cooler mascot some baby blue and silver tiger...I don't remember the name. Man our class must have been the lamest and most trouble-causing class to go through. At least my school mascot wasn't a rock! That's right...makes me proud to be a Reginite/Saddlelite! Ahaha...enough randomness...dumb psychology paper....psht...whatever. posted by Sewa at 1:45:00 AM # Tuesday, November 11, 2003 perfection in imperfection My skin isn't smooth. It isn't blemish free. I get attacked with bad...horrible hair days. My measurements are not 33, 25, 33 or whatever "perfect" is. I'm not incredibly tall. My legs are pale because they don't see the light of day. And I slouch all the time. I have bad posture. I'm flat footed. I don't necessarily study as much as I should. I not productive all the time and procrastination is synonomous to my name. I don't have a straight 4.0. I sleep in class. I skip class. It gets worse... I have a double edged sword as a tounge that doesn't say the nicest things all the time. I'm impatient and I have grudges. I'm have road rage. I don't set a good example 24/7. My quiet times are not consistent. My heart is heavy and unwilling. I want to control all aspects of my life and more. I have skeletons in the closet. More often than not I don't think before I speak. The list goes on. But with all the above how do I find comfort? The dearest thing that I can hold on to is the fact that I'm striving to better who I am amidst my imperfections. I, by no means am perfect and it's rough to be humbled by this day in and day out. God said that He created us in His image. I feel like such a blemish. But He's perfect right? He's the only one that can purify us again of our iniquities and renew us with His grace. So to chase after God's heart and continually striving to be all that He created us to be, perfect, then perhaps we can say that we are all perfect in our imperfections. Amidst my imperfections, I am perfect....I, I am human. posted by Sewa at 4:18:00 PM # Sunday, November 09, 2003 "Love Actually" One of the best movies I've seen out there. Granted I haven't seen many, this movie is the perfect blend of humor and romance. Touched with a bit of sadness so that it's not so "hollywood on screen make believe love." And I left with such a satisfied feeling even though somethings didn't come out the way I wanted them to. I want to watch it again right now! Even though I only saw it two hours and a little ago. I want to buy it as soon as it comes out. I saw the Matrix on thursday and I wasn't even this satisfied and I've been lookin' forward to seein' that. But I must be fair they are totally different. Everyone needs to go see this movie! Oh did everyone go and look at the lunar eclipse tonight? And there's a meteor shower coming up...who wants to join me? No matter how cold no matter how late. Come on...those of you out there who went in the past know it's always a night filled with adventure and memories! posted by Sewa at 1:56:00 AM # |
