My Life Happenings

Pajaro

10/22/2005

I forgot to write about a little trip Josh and I took about a month ago. A bunch of leaders from our church’s jr. high staff went to a beach house in the Pajaro Dunes. As you can see, it’s a really beautiful place. We hung out, had some spiritual training sessons from Mark. Anyway, Read More

And I’m Back in the Game!

10/17/2005

Well, due to my illness, I’ve been out of volleyball for TWO WHOLE WEEKS. My doctor said I couldn’t do anything that might cause an asthma attack because my lungs were being stupid. I had to take steriods and just finished taking the end of them today. I definitely feel much better today, even though Read More

I Met a Crazy Dude

10/12/2005

After my art history class today, I sat on a bench outside to check my e-mail and enjoy the beautiful day. As I struggled to get onto the stupidly-put-together wifi connection at SJSU, a crazy dude came up to me. This is how the conversation went: CrazyDude: Excuse me, do you know the time? Me: Read More

Wide-Eyed Childhood

10/11/2005

Well, I’ve been “reading” the Narnia books lately. I already finished The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and am now part way through The Magician’s Nephew. Man, they’re even better than I remember them to be from when I read them in 3rd-5th grade. But, besides that, I have been seeing lots of contrasts Read More

Catch Up!

10/10/2005

Ever feel like life is a never-ending game of catch up? It’s like, I just finish all this crap and then realize that there’s a whole steaming pile over there now too. I got a ton done on Saturday, but by Sunday I was completely fried and could not concentrate on anything. Now, today, my Read More

Me and Mark Down By the Schoolyard

09/30/2005

Actually, that title comes from the song Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard. So, I got to paint sets, organize costumes, and coach speech with Mark. While I loved all of those things, my favorite was probably my friendship with Mark. He’s a real swell guy with a big heart and lots of crazy Read More

Out of This World

09/29/2005

Has anybody seen the cheesy 80’s sitcom Out of This World? It was terrible. But, besides that, the main character had this sweet ability to put her fingers together and stop time. Then she could run around and unfreeze other people and get into all kinds of antics before she would unfreeze time again. Like, Read More

Thoughts on Death

09/28/2005

Death seems to be the topic of the day. A coworker said that today is the 17th anniversary of the day his mother died. He was busy bringing his kids to school and went to wake her up and she was naked, sprawled out on the floor in her room, no breath left in her. Read More
