Dude, this is insane. (Please excuse me if you aren't a dude and that offended you) Words cannot describe how I am feeling right now. My thoughts are running all around my head tripping over each other, and making me go berserk. Honestly, I want to just shout and let them know how I'm feeling.
Why the freak out?
It's almost a new year, and I just came home from my loooong trip to California, I miss my family, I don't think I'm ready for schooling to come back around. Did I mention I miss my family?

• So, I realized I never told you Faithful Readers about Winter Blast. For this, I am truly sorry. So much happened, it would be an insanely long post, and I'm not sure that would work out too great.
• Well, I had a wonderful time in California. I can't describe all of it but lets say it was tons of family, laughter, joy, and fun fun fun. I love my family, honestly and truly I really do!
• I have realized a series of things
  
  1. Pandora has a wonderful knack of playing the best songs in the world.
  2. BarlowGirl's most recent album (Love&War) is by far one of the best albums I have heard in my life.
     
  3. Sparkling Cider is indeed quite tasty.
  4. I was separated from my cousin at birth (i know it's true. There is no doubting this!)
  5. I really like the beach.
  6. High School Musical songs fit into any part of your life. Creepy? I believe so.
• Seriously though, my sister just turned 16 while we were in California, and I started singing. My parents asked me what time it was, I started singing. We're taking family pictures on the beach holding hands, I start singing. It's way too crazy.
• So, Christmas. An amazing holiday. I have never spent it away from home before and it was beautiful! I loved it.
• One thing I got was a cherry red iPod and I loved it. God is so wonderful. A lot of people don't get to celebrate Christmas in the privileged way I do, and he has blessed me beyond imagination.
• And now, onto the new year.
• Words cannot describe.
• Have a blessed new year, and drink all the tasty cider you can handle!

Have you ever had one of those moments where you feel something so... amazing that you can't even describe it. You can't put to words how you feel, or what your emotions are. They're just THERE and they make you feel amazing. But you can't share with anybody. That's how I feel right now.
I suppose it's the feeling of love, one I have not felt before. Sure, I feel love from my family ALL THE TIME (you don't even know!) but this is love at its best. True love. Pure love. Love from my Creator. And I cannot describe it. The words dance like crystals on my lips but I can't share them with people, or put the diamonds in their ears.
I was reading my Bible at Winter Blast up in Winter Park this weekend (best weekend of my life, you'll learn about it in another post) and I stumbled upon a verse made for me:

Well, the blogging craze, has somewhat slowed down. I’m really curious how one attracts followers? It is indeed a quite wondrous thing and one that I lay in bed wondering about at night (so I don’t really have that much to ponder about in that great brain of mine. Sue me.)

• The reading strike still on and well… man it is tough. But as it says in the Good Book “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will…” (Romans 12:2)
• Sadly, nobody said renewing of the mind would be exactly easy.
• Just like putting together a ship in a bottle!
• I have always wanted to do that, but have never been able because
  a) I have been unable to acquire one…
  b) If I did acquire one, it could be dangerous for my health because I might just blow a blood vessel in frustration.
• This is why I have to work on patience.
• Isn’t it ironic that when we pray for patience, or we say we want to be more patient (say for your New Years Resolution) we get thrown the annoying patience-testing scenarios and fail miserably?
• As I have said before, God has a sense of humor.
• (SIDE NOTE: I am sitting next to my sister while typing this blog! Woo! SIDE NOT OVER!)
• Anyway… so as I believe I have said before my not-so-new pen (cil)-pal, Lovely Leah has been a great encouragement in my life! Not only that but she makes me laugh extremely hard! I just wanted to thank her in cyber-space.
• My shift key is being rather annoying right now.
• And now, in closing of every blog, I have decided to write one thing about myself. Have a little blogger-Faithful Reader connection going. I might even start a bucket list… hmm…

Sometimes, when I can’t fall asleep I think of floating on clouds. La la la…
What do you do when you can’t find sleep?

Well there goes my whole blogging thing. I have been finding it increasingly harder to blog everyday now! Don't worry though, Faithful Readers, you were not forgotten and I try my hardest, I really do.

• Christmas time is here. I guess that makes a lot of people think of presents and family time and ham (oooh ham...) but it makes me think of crowded malls, snow boots, scarfs, snowflakes, and CALIFORNIA!
• I have not gone to California in the longest time and I can not wait to see my family again! They live so far away, and it's not exactly easy visiting!
• I have gone on a reading-strike. Mainly because I have found there is nothing good to read. As much as you read, especially by non-christian authors, pollutes your mind. Or it pollutes my mind. And I just need a break. A breather. I need to get back on track.
• I've also gone on a no-spending money-spree. Dear. Goodness.
• And yes, to many, many people amazement, I have quite drama. I am totally, completely and utterly through with it. It's going to be extremely hard to do. Because there is part of me that wants to hold on like a pit-bull and never let go. However, God has taken the liberty of changing my heart, and I asked him to have his way and he started.
• God has a sense of humor.
• You know what I also realized about Christmas time? Starbucks. They're taking over the world. There is one across the way from my school, there is yet another one near my house. There is one by my church. There is one in the mall. I bet you, that the first store that will open in space will be a Starbucks.
• Personally, its coffee isn't even that good...
• Burnt. It's burnt coffee. Charbucks anyone?
• Did you know, I have a dictionary in my bedroom?
• It might be an un-healthy thing because I look up thousands of words I don't know, then go around spouting my new-found knowledge.
• Like: A snail can sleep for three years (talk about catching some Z's)!
• A person over fifty has spent approximately five years of their life waiting in line (that, my friends, is a looong time!)
• The plastic thing on the end of your shoelace is called an 'aglet' (who knew?)
• Barbie's full name is Barbera Millicent Roberts (Millicent??)
• If you yelled for 8 years, 7months, and 6 days you would have produced enough energy to heat one cup of coffee (hardly seems worth it)
• Well, I have to say on my part: When am I to use that information? Maybe one day I can walk up to some guy in Hyde Park and tell him that a snail could sleep for three years.
• I am sure, beyond a shadow of a doubt, he would be overjoyed with his new-found information.
• Other than that, Dear Readers, I have not much to say.
• God is changing my heart at a slow pace, and it's amazing to see the results.
• As a wonderful person once told me: If it was easy, it wouldn't be.
