My Exorbitant Christmas Wish List
The Christmas season is upon us!!! For your enjoyment, here is a list of all those things I would like for Christmas!!!!
Wishlist #1
Numero Deuce
Trois
What's four in a different language?
Is this even possible?
My tuition?
Ok really, those things I am very unlikely to get for Christmas. But you can help me get what I really want!
1. If you go to a church of any kind, you need to pass the word on about Jesus. Evangelize to at least one person this holiday season. Don't be a chicken. If I were God and found out you didn't tell someone else about me, I'd whup your ass! So get to work, spread the good news!!!!
2. If you are not a Christian, think about why you're not. I'm sure it's because of either 1) what your knowledge tells you about Christianity and why it's not true, 2) because you've had some bad experience with religion, or 3) you were raised to believe a different moral system.
Now here's the kicker. God is perfect. The big, perfect pie in the sky. The almighty (yes, he really does exist). The guy who was there to create the universe, the guy who everyone calls out to when they're upset or angry (or happy, omg!!!) is calling out to you. He wants to talk to you. How you say? God doesn't always speak audibly. But you can speak to him. He's very real. This is the real deal. It's not about money, or stuff, or girls or rock and roll. It's about God. And he's a humble enough guy to want to get to know you... some guy or girl.... so don't be stubborn. just think about it. try talkin to the guy. i'm sure he likes you enough, and will talk back. if you don't hear from him... try reading one of the many books he's written. they're conveniently placed in a book called 'the Bible.' if that doesn't float your boat, ask someone you know who believes in God to tell you the story of Jesus. Consider it. Now! you have 15 seconds...
just kidding
but if you did that, you would really give me an excellent christmas present!

My Movies, Procrastination, Hair Dye and Old Love Notes
Where to start....
Last night I think I saw what could possibly be the last funny movie ever to be seen before Jesus returns. That's right, I'm talking 'bout Just Friends.
Loosely based on a friend of mine's experiences, Ryan Reynolds is faced with the horrors of being trapped on the FriendSHIP (read Sheldon's Blog if you'd like to hear more about these fascinating boats) with the girl of his dreams.
Just let me clear up some misconceptions you may already have about this movie:
1. It is not a chick flick. My friends Matt, Josh and Sheldon were on the FLOOR for the movie.
That is all.
Guys, you will want to see this movie. Take your girlfriends to it. Make an evening out of it. (winks at Brett about the 16th of December... [Adam from Joan of Arcadia is in it!!!!!])
I don't think I'll give anything else about the movie away, except for two things (man I like doing lists tonight!):
1. That really slow guy from Coroner Gas is in the movie!
2. Parts of the movie were filmed in Regina and Moose Jaw (Sorry, Jeremy. But really, if you were to film a Christmas movie, what better place than the frozen tundra that is Saskatchewan?)
Moving right along, let me tell you about my procrastination.
You see, I am at a delicate and crucial time in my Bible College Career (Go Terrin for VALEDICTORIAN, 2008!!! WOOOO!). Yes. That's right.
Final Exams.
They suck. You have to study and read stuff, and remember it, all for a time where you're shoved into a very uncomfortable plastic chair and little wooden thing to write on for three whole hours. You basically sit there and regurgitate what you've learned. Strangely enough, we don't have to memorize all that much scripture. Go figure. Anyway, it's a very stressful time, and I have to write six of these three hour monstrocities.
Have I studied all that much? Heck no!!! Let me tell you what I did during Tuesday, December 7, 2005, the only study day provided by the college so that we can prepare ourselves:
11:30 am- wake up to the sun shining in my eyes in the friendliest of manners. I had a beautiful sleep. I think Scott Wilson describes these type of wake ups as "The Sun giving you a warm hug". Man that guy is so emo! (GO EMO QUADS!)
12:20 pm- saunter over to my computer and stare blankly at the screen while I realize that I'm currently missing lunch. Decide not to do anything about it.
1:00 pm- proceed down the hall and a flight of stairs to the shower room.
1:30 pm- make a to- do list for the day. It reads:
1. Mail eBay item (a guy bought a belt off of me).
2. Register for classes (next semester's... and I didn't get it done)
3. Clean Room (I didn't really do that either. I did however make my bed and put my dirty laundry in the basket)
4. Tech for Min Final prep (that's the exam I write tomorrow)
5. Talk to Leslee re: tanning (my boyfriend has a very fancy graduation in February, which will include me in a dress. I've decided that I'd like to sort of be the opposite of pale)
6. Go for coffee with Nicole!!!! (I actually put those exclamation points in there. Man I am a loser!)
1:35 pm- Nicole and I head to Starbucks for coffee until 3. We do some talking, and I read two of the thousand things I needed to read for that damn final!
3-4:30 pm- buy gas, go to shopper's drug mart to mail things and buy hair dye!!!
4:30-5:25 pm- dye hair (it's not a permanent color, so you folks at home won't see it), shower.
5:25-6:00 pm- eat supper, break news to joe that i won't be at college connection, make study plans with matt.
6:00-6:30 pm- read my friend Jeremy's blog, and then laugh histerically at him singing along to bon jovi's "i'll be there for you"
6:30-8:30 pm- study in the library with matt for tech for min exam.
8:30- 9:15- play piano and figure out how to play 'o come o come emmanuel' on the keys (go Robbie Seay!)
9:15-11:curfew- go to sobeys and pick up some lays' chips, and watch the first home alone with friends (we coudn't finish it because jord takes such bad care of his cd's!!!! fricken jord)
11:00-11:40- watch ctv national and part of the local news (THERE IS AN ELECTION COMING UP!!! YOU NEED TO VOTE!!!)
11:40- now- write this stupid blog instead of go to bed (I need to get up at around 8 to shower, go over my notes and be ready to write by 9:30)
ha!
anyway, I was going to blog on another topic.
I went over some old emails that Brett and I sent each other both a little before and just after we started dating. They were ever so good. But I think I'll hold you in suspense, since I'm tired of typing, and for some reason, my room is fricken cold!!! what's up with that?!?!
until I become valedictorian....
