Fluff

Biggest pet peeve right now.
Tailgaters. Is that really the spelling?
Tonight I was driving along and this jerk pulls up right behind me and flashes his brights at me.
First reaction, put on the brakes.
So I did.
He backed off.
They usually do.
But still, I shouldn't have to do that. And really, are you that impatient that you can't go maybe 5 km/hr less than you would be going if you were ahead of me.

Beware you tailgating scum.
I always, ALWAYS lay on the brake.

Dave Matthews Band. Sexiest music ever. Check them out if you haven't.

One thing I love: midnight walks on the beach with friendly friends

American Baby by Dave Matthews Band

One thing I love...

Sooooo...still in the middle of reading every book ever.
Somehow I just don't feel content unless i'm in the middle of reading at least three books at once.

I'm currently reading The Shack by William Young (which I will try to finish tonight, among other things), Love Walked In by Marisa de Los Santos, and the Oedipus trilogy (Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and of course Antigone) by Sophocles. And it's not that I have the intention of reading these books, i'm actually IN THE VERY MIDDLE of all of them.

A tiny little show announcement. Pacific Theatre is currently in the middle of running a show called Metamorphoses, based on the Myths of Ovid, which is slightly tying in with our show. How convenient. It runs from July 31- August 16 so you better get on buying those tickets! Should be a good show.
I will be there with my notebook ready.

I decided that along with my song of the day, I would also list one thing I love. Because sometimes I have to remind myself just how much I love living.

One thing I love: dancing at work

It is Well

These words have been ringing in my ears. It is well with my soul.

When peace like a river attendeth my way.
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot You have taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though the devil will ruin, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And has shed His own blood for my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Song of the Day:
It is Well with my Soul by Jars of Clay

Good books

I forgot to mention this awhile ago but I finished reading The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence. If you get the chance to, please read it. Such a well written book. It's about a woman who, when she's old and aging, looks back over her life and realizes that she has led a loveless life. It's devastating and yet refreshing at the same time. And again, some excellent writing skills. Check it out.

I'm about three quarters of the way through The Shack by William Young. I will say no more til I am finished.

PS

Check it out...Trinity is slowly making our way into the Vancouver Theatre scene. Our picture is the one on the second panel. Mythification is the show we are writing this fall and our picture is in the brochure for the Greater Vancouver shows. Excitement.

Lists lists and more lists

This lady told me to...so I will.

I am someone who enjoys a good cup of coffee in the morning.

I think that someone should dig a big hole and stick all the boys inside and only let them come up when we want them to.
Juuuust kidding...

I know that I am loved

I have so much I want to do in what seems like so little time.

I wish that I could read minds. Life would be so much more simple.

I hate ignorant hatred.

I miss school. So very much. Mostly the people from school. The atmosphere. Learning.

I fear fear itself

I smell Febreeze. I used to spray febreeze in my room at school all the time so sometimes when i'm missing school, I spray it in my room.

I crave childhood.

I search for beauty.

I wonder where i'll be when I grow up. That is IF I grow up.

I regret sin.

I love hugs!

I ache for truth.

I am not going to ever smoke weed. I was asked twice tonight...

I believe in a thing called love.

I dance whenever I can. Anytime is dancing time. Sometimes I can't even help it. It just bubbles right on out.

I sing loudly. Especially at work. When the whole restaurant is quiet, you can hear me singing in the back. I promise.

I fight when I want to be heard.

I cry many times a day. Actually today is the first time I haven't cried in, well, a long long time.

I win at life. Usually just because I make the choice to.

I lose nothing but gain everything when I daily choose to take up my cross and follow Him.

I never go to bed early.

I always want to be going on adventures.

I confuse most people when I open my big fat mouth. It gets me into trouble a LOT.

I listen to great music.

I can usually be found in my car, Rufus, or on a stage.

I need physical touch. My love language.

I am scared of eternity

I am happy when I realize I am not alone.

I imagine a million things, a million times a day. That is why I do what I do.

If you have a blog, what the heck are you waiting for, fill it out...
