What You Miss When You Sleep!

Tonight, as you all know, OYANers convene in Olathe, Kansas. I'VE MET SOME!!!!!! *screech*
We have, staying at the Garners, Wayfarer - Lindsey, Hakuna Matata - Erynn, Narniahannah - Hannah.

Downstairs in the basement, silence and peace surrounds the sleeping forms of Rachel (Nairam), Grace (Grace), Carolyn, Erynn and Hannah.

Um. Not in the corner of the next room on Jane's bed where Lindsey and I are curled up with my computer exploring Google Earth. At nearly 2 am. Lindsey moves over because of cramp in her foot and nearly sits on my eyelash curler.

Me: Watch it!
Lindsey: Oh, it's an eyelash curler.
Me: Yes! It goes squeeze, umph and the eyelashes curl up.
Lindsey: I know, I have one! Mine's Mary Kay. It's less sophisticated.
Me: What's Mary Kay?
Lindsey: You don't know who Mary Kay is...?
Me:...nooooo?
Lindsey: She's like this big make-up and skin care entrepreneur and she's really famous. Did you know Mary Kay even has her own copyrighted colour of pink? They even have pink Mary Kay Cadillacs.
Me:....what's that?
Lindsey: You don't know what a cadillac is?
Me: No...
Lindsey: *googles*
Me: *looks at photos* OH! I thought you said CATTLE AXE!
Me: *types in Cattle Axe*
Google: Searching for "battle axe". Click here for results for "cattle axe".
Lindsey and me: ROFL.

We googled Americans because we were trying to think of other things to Google. For fun, y'know? We're writers. It's 2. We do crazy stuff like that. Even like writing it out to blog on here. :P

Me: SCROLL UP! SCROLL UP! Is that Tenth Avenue North??
Lindsey: Where?? *scrolls up*
Me: There! *points* Or is it Relient K?
Lindsey: *waves pointer over* Er - that's all American Rejects...
Consequently - choking.


Lindsey: I'm going to Google cadillac again because I don't trust America...I DIDN'T MEAN THAT!
Me and Lindsey: XD

And now we're sitting here typing this out and discussing it like writers...and snatching the computer off each other...

This is at 1:42 am. What we'd be missing if we were sleeping... :P

    You did all that, and yet you got up the next morning and marched into Cook like you slept the night away. You guys are certainly epic, no doubt about it. I even wish I had been there :D

Outta 'Arm's Way

Image
It's painful. And it's sore. It's so sore I spend washtime dabbing water on portions of my skin because if I shower properly, I end up crying with pain. It's inherited genetically. I remember Daddy telling me his started when he was 19. It went all over his entire body - including his face. He had the wet kind - weeping, they call it - on his face. He had to go to work every day like that. And he said he felt disgusting, like a leper. Until he took aloe vera tablets, which reduced his eczema to some kind of controllable level. It started when I was a kid. Behind the backs of my knees and in the crooks of my arms. Then it faded until I only had it occasionally on the elbow of my right arm. Last year, it flared up again. REALLY bad. On my arms. Then I went to America. It was bad when I arrived. Came back a little in Oregon due to the dryness of the air. But otherwise, it was cleared. I forgot I had ever had eczema. Then I came home. And started work. ...

My Battle with Modesty

WARNING: I'm not sure about the appropriateness of this for guys...so if you think it's bad, stop reading. Okay? I read Jay Lauser’s excellent post on A New Kind of Modesty (which you really, really, really should read, though I won’t post it up seven times like my big sister C’rissie :P) yesterday, and thought I would like to blog my struggle and weakness in that area for...encouragement? General opinion? Not quite sure, although it certainly wasn’t out of self consideration. :P Then I read C’rissie’s post connected with Jay’s, A Rant on Modesty ;), which you can read here . And decided that I felt too embarrassed after reading that, because they were both so good and covered the ground enough, so I wouldn’t. Well, this morning, I changed my mind. (Although after rereading it again just, with all the comments, I feel quite small about posting this...*hits send before I rethink*) It’s not too often that I gain a victory over my worldliness to be happy in the clothes I’m weari...

Best Time of My Life ~ Now

You know those points in life where things just hit you? It came to me as I was washing up in the kitchen, snuggled in my fluffy grey dressing gown, the electric light off and the warm glow of the sunset fading in through the window, Michael Card's Celtic music playing in the background. I'm 21. And finally life seems to be coming, in a way. So many plans and hopes and dreams buzzing through my head, so much that is likely to and so easily can be smashed. "I'm fine on my own," I said aloud, laughed, looked up and sighed. These moments where I'm the only one in the house and can talk out loud on everything with God - cause He already knows it - and know the intimate closeness of Him in my spirit. "No, I'm not. But I'm okay with that. You're here, and You'll be with me until the time is right." Marriages are sprouting up all around me as my friends begin to pair off, and the middle-aged-21 crisis struck me. Not so much because...
