Day 30: A motto or philosophy {this is more like a prayer for my life}
- Lord,
- make me an instrument of your peace;
- where there is hatred, let me sow love;
- where there is injury, pardon:
- where there is doubt, faith;
- where there is despair, hope
- where there is darkness, light
- where there is sadness, joy.
- O divine Master,
- grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
- to be understood, as to understand;
- to be loved, as to love;
- for it is in giving that we receive,
- it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
- and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
- Amen.
- ~St. Francis of Assisi
Day 14: A guilty pleasure
Goodness... I have so many. But here's the top two.
Donuts. Oh yes.
And Lipton sweet iced tea.
It's caffeinated, and loaded with sugar. I get shaky and nauseous every time I have it.
But it's oh-so-yummy.
Day 13: A song that makes you cry
A lot of songs make me very sad... but only a few actually make me cry.
This is one of them. The whole concept of losing someone you are engaged to is super-sad to me...
...sadder than having your husband die.
Also, tragic war songs tend to get me. :P
I love this music video, too. Carrie Underwood's outfits are adorable!
I gotta say, though... I really wish she would cut back on the black gooey eye makeup. Sheesh.
Day 12: A song you want played at your wedding.
I couldn't think of hardly anything... a lot of the songs I love are sad. There are very few love songs that I really like--a lot of them are dumb.
But here's one I like pretty well.
Day 29: Hopes, dreams and plans you have for the next 365 days.
Yes, I'm still doing this thing. Only one more day after this!
I hope
to grow in my relationship with God,
my family
and my friends
and to make new friends!
I dream
of a white Christmas.
that's all. ;-)
I plan
on going on a road trip.
on taking a photography class.
and taking three billion photos.
on taking voice lessons.
on going to an art class.
on reading a ridiculous amount of books.
on making
and eating
lots of cupcakes.
and eating
lots of cupcakes.
Day 11: A photo of you taken recently.
Sorry, I'm skipping day 10, because I don't have any pictures on my computer of me from 10 years ago.
Heh heh. I know this is a weird picture... I took it of myself when were on the Mexican cruise. :-)
Day 8: A letter to someone who has changed your life
To my sister, Bethany, owner of beautiful eyes:
You are awesome,
and I would be a wreck without you.
Love,
Me
Day 7: Five things you couldn't possibly live without
I'm only going to include things. (Excludes God, family, friends, etc.)
My Bible.
Sugar.
Books.
Google.
Photography--both taking pictures, and looking at others' pictures.
Day 6: A moment you wish you could relive
My childhood, in general. Although I was not a good child by any means, and it's truly mortifying what a bully/wretch/push-over I was. I was very horrible to several people when I was little. (SAM). He has received counseling for his psychological scars, and has forgiven me for my offences. (I think.)
But anyway.
One of the awesome things we did when we were younger was jumping out of this really cool, big, dead apple tree. It wasn't that tall, but it felt miles high every time we teetered on the precipice and had to get the nerve to jump. We often had to encourage Juli with gentle shoves. :-)
So that's what I would go back to--jumping out of that apple tree.
P.S. Sam did not actually get counseling. Maybe he should.
Day 28: A scar you have and it's story.
I have a two-inch scar on my leg from a barbed-wire fence.
I was picking blackberries at 6 AM.
I was picking blackberries at 6 AM.
Incidentally my sister has a scar on the same place on her leg
from the exact same fence.

Day 4: A favorite TV show
Well, I think you all know by now that I love Leverage. :-)
I have never watched it on TV...a week after every episode airs, it is available on Hulu and the Leverage website. Not all of the episodes are squeaky-clean, but the worst of it is some suggestive dialog and mild language. I don't feel like explaining the gist of the show, so here is the Wikipedia article about it. :-)
Nathan Ford, the leader of the team.
I don't like him much.

Alec Hardison, the hacker. He is a combination of a geek and nerd (see my brother Benjamin's explanation of these two types of people here.) and even though he plays World of Warcraft, I think he is awesome. And he isn't geeky in the unable-to-communicate-with-people sort of way. In one episode he pretends to be a lawyer, and it is awesome.

Sophie Devereaux, the grifter. Basically, her job is to butter up people to either extract information or distract them.
Parker, the stealer. She pickpockets everything from people, crawls through vents and gets through laser security alarms and stuff like that.
Last, but certainly not least, Eliot Spencer, the hitter. (Beats up all the bad guys). YAY.
And, I'm sorry, but I like his hair.
Day 27: A physical feature you love.
So I decided to take a different spin on this one.
I am going to do a specific feature that I love belonging to specific person.
Robert Downey Jr.'s eyes.
I usually tend to like blue/green/grey eyes on guys, but sometimes brown eyes really get me.
And this doesn't mean I'm obsessed with him, think he's a great person, etc.
Really.
I think he has a lot of issues, actually.
A lot.
But I think he is amazing in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, and Sherlock Holmes.
I also think it's cool because he's good-looking even though he is sorta old. :-)
And he has a really good smile.
Okay. I love his hair, too.
He is one of those people who loses everything when he loses his hair.
At some point he had super-short hair... and it was beyond horrific.
I love this face he makes in Iron Man. :-)
Day 3: A favorite book
Again, hard to choose a favorite. I have a ridiculous amount of books that I love.
But this has been one of my favorites ever since I first read it... a long time ago.
Sigmund Brouwer is definitely on my top... three?...favorite authors. He is a Christian, and incorporates his faith into his novels, even though they aren't "Christian fiction". He also is not preachy, which I appreciate. He has some pretty awesome thrillers, science fiction, and an amazing western series, but this one was his very first book I read. When I read it again after loving it several years ago, I didn't like his writing style quite as much... I think some of his other books are written much better, but the PLOT. It's amazing.
Everyone should read this book. It is available (only used) at Amazon here. Many of his books are out of print, which is really dumb, because they aren't even old. >:-(
Day 1: A favorite song
Porcelain Heart ~ BarlowGirl
Not my very favorite song, but one that I love.
I haven't heard much of BarlowGirl, and some of what I have heard, I don't like, but I like this song.
Day 26: A childhood memory.
So Juli, Sam, Bethany, and I were really weird children.
And we apparently knew too much history and had watched too many Holocaust movies.
We were all probably under nine or ten, and we decided to play Holocaust up in our attic.
So we tied Juli up to a post and the rest of us were Nazis and pretended to
put out her eyes with our toy iron, beat her with whips, etc.
Needless to say... our parents didn't know that we were doing that...
