pondering significance

"Nothing of importance happened today." - King George III in his journal entry dated July 4, 1776.

The irony of that statement.

It gives me somewhat of a foreboding feeling when I consider that the most seemily insignificant days and the smallest of decisions have the extraordinary ability to change your life forever.

Honey-nut Christmas

I am sitting here facing a chapter in Evidences and a Bible test tomorrow and yet there are a million other things I can think of that are so much more entertaining, like blogging, for instance. More accurately, I am sitting here being the ultimate distracted procrastinator with a box of Honey-nut Cheerios listening to the Christmas music playlists I have just created. A moment ago I was singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" along with Twila Paris and "The Christmas Song" with Bing while shoving my mouth with dozens of little honey-nut o's. Then I laughed in spite of myself because I am conviced that if I was Dacia and I had walked in on that, I would have died laughing and made fun of me. Yes, I have joined the rest of commercialism and started celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving. Ah well, there are only a few months out of the year that you can get away with it. ;)

Book recommendation!!!

I have a book recommendation!! The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. LeGuin. It is a realtively short read and full of thought provoking elements.
Intriguing. I would love to discuss it with someone.

Star Trek, Thanksgiving, and archetypes

I absolutely love this literature class, I have just learned that while we study the utopia/dystopia archetype [my new favorite way to look at things] we will be examining science fiction to some degree. Science fiction exemplifies this archetype often and is probably the most creative and interesting genre to study, especially in regards to this archetype. We are scheduled to read a novel and several short stories and ...ah yes... watch some Star Trek: The Next Generation and do a character analysis on Captain Picard. I am throughly amused.

What will I be doing over Thanksgiving break? Watching Star Trek for Lit class.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have never looked forward to a Thanksgiving more than I look forward to this one. Of course, there are more reasons than Star Trek.

It's a beautiful day today. ~
I would love to nap in a grassy flower field near a big oak tree and a stream.
I have had three hours of sleep and I do not anticipate much sleep tonight either. Tomorrow is a full day of tests and presentations and I do nto anticipate a meal today until 10:30 tonight. Ah well. the queerest thing to happen to me this week is that the new "fun thing" at work is for every credit card you get a customer to apply for... you get a lottery ticket. All 4 have won me nothing so far. Honestly, just give me the three bucks and be done with it. I would be 12 dollars richer, dang it!

...yet computers are not really that good for listening

I have good days i really do, I actually am a very happy person, but I have realized that, of late, I only feel like posting when I am either angry or down or plain overwhelmed about something. Maybe thats not so healthy~ relying on a computer to vent to... Oh well maybe I should pray more when I am feeling like this.

Does anyone else feel like screaming so loud, and just letting the tears fall from your face~ somewhere that no one but you and God can be...?

There are not enough hours in the day to get anything done.
