uniforms?

Just realized that i'm constantly sewing, have costumed two plays, so why can't I tailor my own school uniforms???

Am kicking myself over the head for not realizing that three months ago.  =P

rain+pavement

So, thanks to taylor swift, pretty much every teenage girl's dream is to dance with that one guy in the parking lot after it has rained...

just a musing.  But a pretty one.  <3

christianity and what we do about it

Or rather, what we don't do about it.

As you probably already know, I occationally wax theological on here. 

You're also probably familiar with the fact that I go to a Christian school. 

However.

Just because it's a Christian school doesn't mean that every single kid there is a Christian like I am. 

It doesn't mean that at all.

I have friends who aren't Christians.  I have enemies that aren't Christians.  I simply just know of kids who aren't Christians. 

So we're all in chapel (ever wednesday after first period, if you were wondering) and singing "Mighty to Save."

And we sing the chorus:


Saviour, He can move the mountains,

My God is Mighty to save,

He is Mighty to save

....and then I'm suddenly aware that tears are streaming down my face and ruining my makeup.  In school.  Joy.  But tears because there's people---friends, classmates, the kid I'm kinda scared of---and they're not saved and really, to be frank, where would they be going if they died tomorrow? 

Yeah, morbidity, but trying to prove a point here. 

And thinking now, it's not just those three or four people.  It's millions around the world---there may be three going through my mind, but there's so many. 

But back to the few that I'm crying about.  Why am I just crying and ruining my makeup in the audatorium at school at things the guys on stage---no less the same stage I'm going to be taking measurements on in musical theatre class four hours later on---and not DOING something?! 

I mean, sure, I've *tried* to bring it up a little with my friends who aren't Christians, but I only came to this school three months ago, and really, people you're barely just friends with aren't the people you can start preaching to.  I'd be like shoving asparagus down the mouth of someone who hasn't really ever tried asparagus and isn't really brave enough to try asparagus yet. 

I mean, you could always put sugar on the asparagus, but then it's sugared asparagus, and doesn't that sound even worse than just asparagus. 

You can't really sugar-coat Christianity either. 

But seriously, what'shoulda girl like me do?!  I mean, I have trouble talking about almost anything, let alone Christianity.  I mean, that's a big deal.  I don't want to mess it up. 

But in basic fact: I'm just... I don't have a word for it.  Asparagus, maybe.  I dunno.  What I'm trying to say is that I haven't really done anything that I know I should do because I'm scared.  Scared that I won't get Christianity to my friend in a way that will make sense to her.  Scared...well just SCARED of another kid who I know needs Christ.  And then scared of asking another Christian friend to help me tell this kid I'm scared of because of STUPID HOMECOMING DRAMA. 

STUPID HOMECOMING DRAMA.  I mean, how lame is that?!  Being a wuss about spreading the gospel because of HOMECOMING DRAMA.  I really need to rethink my priorities. 

And another thing is not wanting to sound conceited and stuff, like: "my religion is better than yours so I'm going to shove it down your throat and make you believe it..."

Of course, there's a few more important factors that I'm not going to address here, cuz this is the INTERNET, people, and who knows how many kids from school are reading this due to a few obscure links on facebook + way too much time on their hands to mess around on the computer.

Facebook + too much time.  You can find just about anything about just about anyone with that deadly combo.

But I digress. 

Please pray---for these kids, but even more for me and the other Christian kids on campus.  I say for the rest of us because really, we can't just JUST pray for our unsaved classmates---that's asking God for something and then going "yeah have fun doing that God cya later i'ma gonna go do my own thing now."  Pray most that we'll be able to reach out.  Especially me---that I'll stop being scared to talk to my Christian classmates about this rising issue--and especially that I won't CRY while asking them.  Because that's how this effects me.  (one guess who's nearly crying right now?)  So we'll be able to reach out together as a Christian community to those who haven't come to know the Lord personally. 

Because really, we have no excuses.

HARRY POTTER!!!

Coming out friday people. 

my real impressions of mockinjay (MAJOR SPOILERS!)

Okay, so I've posted before on what I thought of Mockingjay, but here's the very real, funnier version of my thoughts (because this is how my brain works)

Katniss: "AH there's a possibility that Gale helped make the bomb that killed Prim so I don't like him anymore, even if he didn't plan for her destruction at all!"

Katniss: "AH Gale's snogged other girls before he got to know me, so he's disloyal and I don't like him anymore!"


Katniss: "Huh.  Can't have Gale because of aforesaid reasons..." *Peeta walks by* Katniss: "AH!  PEETA I CHOOSE YOU!"  (said along the lines of "Pikachu I choose you!")


Katniss: "Peeta are I are good together, and we don't foresee any problems in our relationship because we're both mentally unstable, and that's a similarity that will make us get along, especially since Peeta has tried to kill me on multiple occasions and doesn't know truth from fantasy."

Gale to Peeta: "Have you noticed that she basically snogs us whenever she feels sorry for us or thinks we need a ego boost?"  Peeta: "Yeah, it's getting really annoying.  Apparently, snogging us just has nothing to do with her romantically liking us anymore.  She's kinda scaring me."

Katniss: "I'm super-smart and can understand most anything Gale or Peeta says UNTIL Gale wants me to shoot him when he's caught by the Capitol and then I don't understand his obvious signals at all."

Peeta: "Katniss I love you!  Katniss I hate you!  Katniss I love you!  Katniss I hate you!"

Tigris: "I'm just here to illustrate the horrific versions of plastic surgery and tattooing that the Capitol's people inflict on themselves.  And dude, fur leggings.  They're epic."

Haymitch: "So anyone wanna inform me if I'm good or evil?"

Finnick: *dead*

Katniss: "For taking no interest in clothes, I sure describe them a lot."


Epilogue: "Dude, I sound soooooooooo Harry Potter."

 Gale: "So much for my happy ending.  I'm off with a undetermined fancy job and am snogging fictional girls of Katniss' imagination off in District 2."

-----

so yeah, you probably figured out that I wrote this right after Mockingjay came out.  I'll maintain that these are still my views on the the book, and that this rather sarcastic and slightly rude post is only being posted because I'm simply scrambling to keep a coherent mind as the first quarter of school ended.  Ah!

=)

quote I found:

"There are three guys in a girl's life:
The one she loves,
The one she hates,
and the one she can't live without.
And in the end,
they're all the same guy."

So true.  Someday, I'll expand on why.  (Add that to the list of thing I've promised to write on)

Of course, they're other guys too, but there's always that one.  Who of course at age sixteen I haven't found yet. 

But hey!  I've always got my brother's arm to walk into homecoming dance on.

No, really. 

costuming again

Figured out the costume situation, but keeping everything under wraps for now.

I will say that I think that I'm slightly insane, and the costume inspiration is Frankenstien/Raggedy Ann/1870s fashion/ballet. 

Yes, that is the level of insane I am.

I think I need more tulle. 

jk, jk.
