Easter Block party

WooHoo! I had so much fun working the church block party. Though I kept being sent this way and that way to do stuff. I was one of the people working the cake walk, I had to stand in the center to see who was on the number called when the music stopped. I got to meet my friends new boy friend and it's kind of funny cause I went to school with him and I'm happy she's with him because I know he's a good guy.
There was one person who kept bugging me but I didn't let them get my day down because  I was having to much fun and the food was sooooo good. It was nice having an event like that because it gave me a chance to try to be more outgoing when meeting someone new at a big event.
Tomorrow is also going to be really exciting and busy, but I'm ready for it so bring it on.

The Croods

Yay went to see The Croods tonight with my family. It was such a great movie. I suggest that everyone goes to see it with their family. It actually touched home for me at some parts and it is just a wonderful movie that will remind you to love every moment you have with your family and that you shouldn't fear everything. Oh it was just so great it was funny, and moving, and just so great. It was so nice spending a night with my family and having dinner. We got a chance to finally spend time together and get close again and that movie was beyond perfect to bring a family together. May you all enjoy it.

New manga

Weehee.
So, I started reading this new manga called "Tonari no Kaibutsu" it's really pretty funny. It's kind of weird though too, but I really like it. I'm only a few chapters in but it feels like I'm laughing a lot about it. It's about this girl who was completely focused on studying, but the guy who was supposed to sit next to her in class hadn't been to school since the first day where he got in a fight and stopped showing up. He's a really funny guy though and he isn't at all what you first think he would be. But I'm just happy I found another fun manga to read. There are just so many interesting mangas out there and I have only read a few. I'm gonna try and read all the fun mangas out there if it is at all possible. I love being a geek because it means I can read all sorts of geeky things like comics and mangas or The Lord of the Rings (YAY) and not care about peoples opinions on me.
Geekyness Rocks!

Thoughts on my life

So this is called thoughts on my life because this weekend I went to spend a couple days with a friend and I get home today to find my room in shambles, and a whole box of my strawberry pocky, gone. Pocky ain't cheap. I buy stuff for me very rarely cause I usually have zero money, so I went and bought myself three boxes on wednesday, finished one and had set the rest on my desk for when I got home. Needless to save I love my nephew but his momma needs to move out of this house like NOW. I try my best to enjoy life but sometimes when I come home and find my stuff rummaged through and things missing. I just can't help but get upset. It's like when my friend Marcy and I were exiting this one store and we went and opened the door to walk out and there was these three preppy teens trying to walk in and the fact was we walked out and this one girl standing texting on her phone looked up at us like we were idiots because we didn't hold the door open for her little miss stuck up self. Please I am raised to be polite but just cause you think you on top of the world don't mean I'm gonna act like you're so much better than everyone around you because you aren't. We were all created equal in God's eyes so if that means I get a dirty look from someone I don't know just because I didn't hold the door open for you to come in before I left well oh well then. My life has always had interesting moments and very emotional moments. Though there has also been plenty of peaceful moments in my life that I have loved very much, but the thing is they never seem to last for long. I just think that sometimes I wish there wasn't so much trouble in my life, but then I remember with each trouble I overcome I become an even better me and become stronger. I mean I bring some onto myself by being the odd ball that I am but hey I like being me. And that is our random lesson for the day. Be yourself but don't be some psycho path, and from now on every second and fourth sunday I am going to have a random lesson on life and/or something geeky. So then this weeks geeky fact is... In all of the multiple X-men universes in the Marvel comics Logan aka James Howlett aka Wolverine has ninteen biological children and one adopted.

Blessings

I have beeen thinking a whole lot lately about the different ways that God sends us his blessings. Also, about how so many people can be having a wonderful day and then they let one little thing ruin it for them. It's kind of frustrating.We go through our lives day to day not paying attention to important things in our lives. We seem to be forgetting to share the kindness and love we recieve from those close to us with the rest of the world. That is why from here on out I plan to work twice as hard to share the blessings God has given to me with everyone else. Even if it's just a smile from a friend to cheer me up when I do have bad days. We walk our lives day to day and forget to enjoy the day we have for God made no promise for tomorrow, and no one knows when the end will come. I had a nice day today getting a bit of spring cleaning done and just trying to get along with my two older sisters and have a peaceful day. Thus when I head to church tonight I will make sure to share the happiness I felt today with everyone at the church. Because when we choose to not let little things ruin us it can not only help to improve our mood and attitude but it can help us with our bad spots in our personalities. For example yesterday a girl I met in a virtual game that I had not spoken to in a while decided to start sending me PM (public messages) about how i was a b****, but the fact is I calmly sent her a message in return that she could say all she wanted about me and call me whatever she wished because she did not know me for me, that I was a geek, so no matter what she said I did not care because I knew I had a blessed life and no woman who I have never met before can tell me i'm this or that when she has never truly known me and I told her to have wonderful and blessed life for she could not ruin mine. In truth this was a small blessing to myself because I know I have anger issues. Heck I took anger manigment in middle school to try to help me, but that didn't even work, but with God clearly in my life I now have a bit better manegment on my anger and for that I thank God. If it hadn't been for God my life would be in the gutter and I wouldn't know my true purpose in life. I know this world is filled with many many many atheists and the fact is I am not trying to push anyone to follow God's word but if this touches someones curiosity I believe that would be a blessing. All I wish to do is to remind everyone to recognize the small blessings in our life. As my pastor says we let the little things get us down like having a flat tire or stubbing our toes, but we should be thankful for the car we have that has the flat tire or for the fact that we aren't some of those who have lost their feet. It seems that we forget to look at our fellow men and women and lend them a hand when we see them in need. I'm not asking anyone to go out and save a starving country, but why not help an elderly man or woman carry groceries, or donate a few cans of food now or then to someone who needs them, why not donate your old clothes to those who have none or few. We can all be a blessing to someone and it doesn't have to be big. Heck it can be lending an ear or a shoulder to cry on to a friend in need. It could be telling someone to stop teasing a person. I've been in dark places before and a blessing was that my friends and family helped to guid me out. Maybe now it's time for our generation to fix ourselves and the world we live in. We don't know how long we have here so while we're around be a blessing. Even if it's once a day, once a week, or once a month. Just let's all try to be a blessing.

March Madness

I had an amazing and awsome time at March Madness. I was kind of down for a bit because I went just to play the sports but ended up not playing any at all. I did watch and root for some of the others that were on a team. I got to see Nathaniel and Christina to. It was so great to see them and hang out with them. They also introduced me to some people from their church and I made a bunch of friends with some of the people they introduced me to. There was Kenny who got the nickname of Candy, Brianna, Casey, Kiev, and Anthony from Nathaniel's church youth group, then there was Olivia who I met while playin black jack and pirate fluxx with Nathaniel and Christina, and then there was Rebecca who Bri and I met in the dorm room. She was really cool we hung out with her all the rest of the night and the morning. We never slept a wink. Hehe it was all so much fun though I wish I had played at least one sport. We left early this morning after breakfast and I said goodbye to my new friends and got two and a half big hugs from Nathaniel. It was quiet on the drive home cause none of us got much sleep. Oh I almost forgot Friday night/ saturday morning while Brianna, Rebecca and I were up we decided to be a bunch of giggly girls and sneak back and forth out of the dorm room and into the hall to try and go mess with the guys. At one point when we had finally messed with a couple guys they started getting roudy and this one guy Monty decided to play some pranks on a few of the other guys while they were asleep. It was so funny cause he used lotion and would put it on their faces and there was this one guy that was like covered and started chasing after Monty. We had so much fun but then they did bad and woke up Nathaniel and Chris (he was one of the adults and he was a nice guy till he was grouchy from being woke up, plus he was kind of cute). I felt bad for them though because Nathaniel had to drive home. Then Chris told us to go back to bed but we never did. We ended up hanging out in the bathroom because we didnt want to disturb all the others that were sleeping and the bathroom was really big and connected to the dorm room and showers. At one point I sneezed really loud and it really echos in this place and Chris was sitting in the halway and said "bless you" and i said "thank you" and it Bri and Rebecca looked at me and asked why I said thank you and I told them it's cause someone said bless you and we all just randomly started giggling. I was just glad I went even though on the drive home i became sick, but all in all it was an amazing time. I can't wait for the next youth event in virginia. I'm gonna try to go to as many as I can. I hope to see my friends more too.

Slow days

So everything has been slow lately, and kind of boring. I really have trouble dealing with the slow days when the only thing to do is clean and sit at home. Been a lot of time to think and been working on more job applications, but it's all kind of boring. I wish there was a way to just make a day at home more interesting without having to put too much effort into it. Though I just usually put up with it cause I can't figure out what to do with all the time I have on slow days. I mean I clean, do job applications, watch tv, exercise, play video games. Heck sometimes I even cook and bake, but I still get bored and don't know what to do with the left over time. Suggestions on what to do with the extra time I have had the past few days would be nice.

Preperation Begins

So we finally have power back at my house which is nice. We officialy got it back at 11:00pm est. last night. That's a nice note. I'm still a little up and down because of tenko but i'm trying my hardest to remember the happy times. Today at church we began our preperation for the big service and block part we hold every march. On the saturday before easter we are having this huge block party and everyone gets assigned jobs. It's not a long block party but it's usually very busy and very fun. :) Also the silent light team has started out practices for our special perfomances for easter sunday. We are going to perform what we call stick sign which I would try to explain but I'm not really sure how to explain it. We are doing "Arise My Love" as the stick sign song and we are most likely doing "Victory" as the silent light song. I love doing silent light it's so much fun and it always moves people in the church. And for those who don't know what silent light is it is my church's sign group we perform sign language to dramatic songs, up beat songs, or moving songs. We have three weeks to get everything in order for easter. The little beacons (our sunday school classes) are doing a play, not sure if the choir is doing a song but I really hope so cause I'm in choir too, and then there is the silent light team (yay us). Then after church we usually have like a small kind of lunch in the love center which is the building that was built behind our church and dedicated to our pastor, Pastor William Love, then we have about three or four easter egg hunts because we divide everyone up by ages, and then we have three or four candy rains again divided by ages. Our church goes through like a ton of candy on easter. The candy rain is when we get a bunch of candy mix it up in like this huge storage tub and then a couple of the adults throw it out onto the grass right in front of our church and let the kids scramble to pick it up and collect it. Pastor always says that we are thorough with this because he says he can never even find one spare piece of candy after everyones gone home, but he likes to joke around about it and we always have fun. I also might be going to March Madness which is a youth rally, but I don't want to be the only one from my church that goes and I still have to scrape together some money to pay for this one since it's an overnight event. I kind of want to go because I know it'll be a whole bunch of fun but I guess I'm more worried about wether my family has money to spare for me to go. I will leave it in my parents and of course God's hands and see what happens. If I go then I go and if I don't then I don't.

Memorial post for Kokotenko

It's a sad day for my family because last night unfortunately while the vet was trying to save him he passed away in the arms of one of the vets technicians. He died at 6yrs old nearly 7 his birthday for when we got him was april 13. His sister who is also one of his actual litter mates has been trying to cheer us up along with his two brothers who were not his litter mates that we own. We still have no power at our house and unfortunately i'm worried that might have been part of the reason he began to pass away because the house was cold and he lost so much weight but now is not the time to think of what we could have tried now our family must try to help eachother feel better and remember the fun we had with Tenko. So for today I am going to post a memorial to him here on blogger, on facebook, on twitter, and a special poem for him on my deviantart account. He was a wonderful cat and was always very loving to us. He was playful and until he became sick he was kinda chubby which made him even more adorable. Please remember to cherish the moments you have with your pets and show them the love and attention they all deserve and even when one passes away and you've cried a lot try to remember the happy moments you had with them.


*In memory of Kokotenko we love you very much and may you rest in peace we will never forget you*

Kokotenko

So everything has been going good lately but one thing has got me down right now. One of my cats was just recently taken to the vet and unfortunately it seems he has a tumor on his pancreas and right not they say he wont surrvive the surgery due to the fact that he has been so sick and hasn't eaten or drank anything lately. My family is going to try and do everything we can and then some stuff we can't afford right now to try and help him get back to where he will have a chance of surviving the surgery. I truly hope that God will help him through it and let him live a while longer so that we may have a little more time with him and his sister who is his actual litter mate can spend a bit more time with him. I really don't want to have to say goodbye to another pet just yet. One of the saddest things in life is losing a friend who you havn't spent enough time with. Though everytime someone loses one they care about they always feel that they never had enough time spent with a friend even if that friend is a pet, but I feel that pets are some of the best friends people can have and you should always be kind to your pet and try to find time to spend with them each day. Thus as a dedication to my sick cat Kokotenko I hope everyone out there will spend some time with their pet and not take them for granted.

Looking on the bright side

So I am back to having ups and things with my family is going ok. My oldest sister has almost found a place for her and her family. I may have a job interview soon. The house is also kinda getting back into a decent livable shape and we finally had the chance to take one of our cats to the vet to find out why he's always so sniffaly and to find out why he's been losing weight. We get the call back from the vet soon and then he has to go back to the vet again not to soon. Then we get to take the other three and the dog. There's been less arguing in the house which is nice and everyone has kind of found there own nice quiet spot where we don't get in eachother's way. It's been a bit grey outside and it makes me feel all groggy and tired, but it's been kind of nice. I'm gonna see if I can use some of my free time volunteering at the main spca in town or maybe at purring on pantops branch that is all cats though I do really want to work with dogs and puppies. I'm happy for my friend 'Tasha cause her mom is finally at a job close to their new home so since her mom worked in cville she used to have to spend monday thru friday in cville at a friends house and the weekends at home. Now their family is all together every night. I'm gonna go over and see them sometime soon. Also I'm excited about easter I can't wait to preform arrise my love again and a new song with silent light. Plus I'm hoping to lose a bit of weight because I have started to work out more and eat a bit better. Well here's hoping for the best.
