Hey:D I couldn’t send you a link because I can no longer seem to find your email anywhere. I’ve been kinda busy with classes coming to an end for the year as this is the last week. I have also posted several new chapters for my novel. I’ll still keep searching so I can post you the link.
Wait, birds fly into your room! My goodness, never had that happen here before. I can imagine that must get pretty chaotic sometime.
Yeah, I have to look through my old messages but I think I still have it. I wrote another short story that I want people to read. Problem is, I can’t, I’ve been having a hard time getting people to come read it:(

The only thing I don’t like about fall is this is the season when all the bugs like to crawl in your house and make themselves home for the winter:p
I got one new one, someone asked me to read their poem and I asked them to return the favor, which surprisingly they did. Well…I want to but the thing is I don’t really want too many people here to see it (the link) because it has stuff from my old profile on it.
Lots of trees around the area are begining to change colors now. It’s VERY beautiful, it’s one of those scenes where you stare at and you get lost in it.
The thing about it is I wish I could get more people to read it and comment. Many people have seen it but haven’t commented. Im no where near finished but wish someone would had said some stuff about it though:/
Been about two weeks since I been to the pond. Maybe i’ll get to go back before it starts getting cold, it is the first day of fall tomorrow here so hopefully. I like those times too, mostly the evening but the morining as well, as the sky is lit up all kinds of bright orange and actually a purple color sometimes.
Yeah, as it’s less distracting and you can go about on your own pace. Course larger areas are good places for quite an experience, with many people and stuff, and you get to see alot. Course I don’t really fit in places like that (not popular enough:/)
Im pretty good for what it’s worth. I’ve been busy this week working on my new novel, it’s about Atlantis and it’s coming along quite nicely, in two days I was able to put ten chapters up.
i have three options i don’t feel to marry someone rite now i`m afraid they will be sad if i say no and our relatives who are in between in all this will stop talking.
Here, people are pretty nice for the most part. None come by to say hi too often these days:/
I prefer to be outside more then inside as well, for the most part it’s alright here naturally.
It’s nice stuff to like. I like going to just about anywhere, in the natural enviornment, around the city, course I don’t get to go out much so maybe that’s why I like places that people usually think about as “eh, nothing special about that place”.
Oh? Kind of like… “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou.
In life it seems as if things grow in meaning for us more because of the emotions we associate with them than for the thing’s merit on its own. At first, our initial impression is based on what we genuinely evaluate of it. But over time, what we feel towards things are more influenced by the emotions we have to them over time. So with language bias, it makes sense ^^
This is also why I wonder that people are so focused on physical appearances sometimes. In the long run, nobody evaluates people they care about based on their physical appearance as much as on the way they’ve made them feel, anyways.
But “no worries” makes perfect sense… ^^
Haha. Make sure to have a lot of fun with it. It’s great to get to confuse people :D Yeah, those are words I can recall getting used a lot. Also, this one: “Interesting.” It’s what people there say when they have no idea what to say. “That’s very… interesting.” It means anything, positively or negatively. Useful word. =P
I’ll bet. In my opinion, nothing is better than hearing the sound of Kazakh and Russian ^^ But I am probably biased due to my childhood, of course.
Haha. Congratulations, then. ^^ Australian slang is, indeed, fairly entertaining to listen to =P So is any kind of English slang, actually. Accents are fun too. I can get those without even losing the US, too. Language is funny that way.
^^ Darkness is good. So is snow =P You’ll get plenty of both, soon enough.
And… you clean up yet another food considered to be spicy. Though the Mexican peppers can get insane, I hear. Up for a challenge?
Vocabulary being a factor for a choir signup? Interesting. Not a bad idea. And you get to go back after some time, so it’s a good way to have a trial run =)
Thank you =) I appreciate it. When I remember, my thoughts and prayers are with you as well ^^
I forget. But it’s not so bad. It’s a small drop in the ocean, and a small price to pay for the experience.
The medieval one? Yes, I finished that, and also went back and rewrote the first part to sound better. I also added another novel I finished awhile ago. In addition I added several short stories that are pretty popular.
Your hear in the us, what do you think, kinda different hu:p
Oh, so now you’re sleeping in later to a reasonable hour? ^^ Oh well. I’m sure your powers will come back later.
Well, your family also seems to be able to withstand extreme fire. Or so the Indians claim =P
Aha. An early start on getting involved. Congratulations ^^ I was never so involved in school personally, but it seems like a great opportunity.
Oh yes, quite so. I’ve learned some cool things while here, and I look forward to getting back. There will be challenges, but I’m ready for them. God is with me =)
I see. Objects that have emotional weight tied to them are that way for me as well. =)
Wow! You continue to impress me with your ever increasing and insanely high levels of tolerance for sleep deprivation… :D Are you sure your family is not superhuman? ^^ Because I’m starting to think so again.
Well, even if it doesn’t make you as tired, I hope you are sleeping better now. It’s not good to have too much time to be busy at night. Refreshing one’s mind is helpful. And I hope the days are going better as well, of course. ^^ It should be an exciting trip.
Hmm. I think the best way to live is truthfully - searching for the truth, helping others find the truth, and living out that truth.
I have found my truth, and I work hard to keep it real. Essentially, I think that is what a person needs to do in order to find meaning, to have a clear purpose, and ultimately to live life better.
I probably have some quotes somewhere. I’ll look for them and send them to you if I find them =)
Not alot i upload a video on youtube and my friends said i`m good.
It’s up to poeople and judges now :\ i`m afraid of that moment when i have to sing infront of them i never sing before in front of so many people…i sing at home and with my friends and i sing in my classroom once and teacher and student said i was Good. :-)
I can remember losing a few things I’ve cared about in airports. Stolen one time, actually.
I hope you’re able to not feel too much pain over the loss in the future =)
Haha, indeed ^^ Ah. In my case right now, it isn’t necessary for me to get less than 8 hours of sleep. I sleep between 22:30 and 6:30. And on weekends I often sleep between 0:00 and 10:00. =P My body has adjusted acceptably to this schedule. I always wake up about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off, too ^^
I think so too. It’s best to keep it simple. “He has told you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to love justice, to do mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” - Micah 6:8. Although I’m quoting from memory so, it may be a bit off.
Uh oh. Important things, or not so much?
You know, though… No matter how early you wake up, you can still make mistakes throughout the rest of the day, unfortunately.
Sparrowhawk, I never thanked you for giving me such amazing advice. I did not take it for granted. I appreciate everything you said. Thank you so very much :)
Yes, I know. I saw someone talk to you about that. I mean… ^^ Oh really? I’m sure you’ll be able to do everything in time, even if it’s close. I didn’t pack until the day of my leaving =P And with as early as you wake up, no worries! Hehe.
I find that new experiences are things that grow on me. The longer I experience them, the more I value them. I hope the trip goes well. ^^
Only when I don’t want to give them up. It’s very easy for me to give up when, say, I’m supposed to persevere =P But when I’m supposed to let something go, it is a challenge to do so at times. ^^
Yeah, it really does depend a lot on the specifics.
Agreed. It takes a conscious effort and a lot of assistance from God, too. It’s not like we just throw ourselves into every single horrible situation and we’re all of a sudden very strong people =P
God sustains and watches over people whether they appreciate it or not, heh. People could benefit a lot if they knew how much God values them.
Surrender and sacrifice… difficult, tricky things. They’re not very intuitive to me. The first instinct I have is to never give up and to stubbornly keep going about things my own way. Even when I give up, I rarely ever surrender ^^ Quiet rebellion to most things dwells in every part of me. But when it is overcome, good things have happened.
The Bible also often uses the analogy of our sufferings being refining fire to purify us as gold. (Isaiah 48:10) It’s something most astute people can find if they look, I believe, that we grow stronger through our difficulties.
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved.” Helen Keller.
Although, we grow even more if it brings us closer to Christ ^^
Thanks. Hope you’re doing well too. Sometimes it’s good for us to see past differences and get along, you know? Glad to know there are people like you.
Indeed. No matter how many times in my life I’ve given up, He’s never given up on me, and forces me to keep going. It’s sometimes irritating, actually =P
Yeah, life stories can take a while to fully summarize ^^ Agreed. Ultimately though, whatever leads a person, they end up having a relationship with God.
It’s something I’ve been thinking about lately. What is essential to a good relationship with God? What makes the difference between merely hearing about God and getting closer to Him? The answer I’ve come up with so far is surrender. God can’t fill our lives until we empty them of the pride or other idols we have. Even some good things can become idols in our lives. Love, kindness, acts of service, etc. For example, if I was obsessively focused on helping people but had pride from it and didn’t seek God, not only would I be less helpful but my relationship with God would suffer. But if we surrender our abilities and our future to God we won’t be disappointed.
