I love this poem.

The Good News
Matt Mason

"Tell the good news about Jesus"
--a bumper sticker I followed for a long time

Jesus lent me ten bucks when I forgot my wallet at lunch.
Sure, he could've ordered a chicken pesto sandwich
and broke it into two full meals, but he's no show off.
That's what I like about Jesus.

Jesus listens to cool music. If ( Read more... )

I know a little time has passed. My life has been pretty exciting since I last updated this thing, too. Dang. I probably won't remember it all.
Anyway, my AP English is exam is over, and now that I screwed myself over on it (more on that in July when I get my score back) I should be able to update this a little more frequently.

Here we go.
I'll just ( Read more... )

Proof positive that things are a million times better when you're not supposed to be doing them: last Saturday night.
So I was all set to go with M&D to see Vince in NYC that day, when mom decided to tell me the night before that we probably weren't going to do much sightseeing or go into the city, besides his concert. That was a huge slap in the ( Read more... )

Okay, okay...
Hopefully I can get this all. (Not that there's much, helloooo)

2 weekends ago I (finally!) saw The Bigger Lights at Valentines. It was so good! I felt like an asshole, though. Dad brought me and I'd never been there before, and I wasn't sure when it was supposed to start, so we got there wicked early, waited outside not sure what to do ( Read more... )

Wooo for snow days and the 14-hour sleep that follows.

The first week of my break was absolute hell. I did nothing and when I went to NJ with the fam, everyone made fun of me all weekend. Plus I was sick and felt like shit the whole time. The second week was gorgeous, however...

The first time I did anything fun all break was go to Taryn's house on ( Read more... )

We got our first big snowfall today. I don't know how many inches but it came fast and hard. (That's what she said!) School let out at 11, which means I don't have to do my thematic essay for social until after break... awesome. I went to Amanda Rose's to play Rock Band but when I tried to go with Emily to her house for some sledding the parentals ( Read more... )

Fuck. I almost forgot about these two.

My Bill and Ted's date was on the 11th this year, Taryn's birthday. I went with Nikki and Kristen and met up with Taryn and Leah there. Because of the M&G, I never even had the opportunity to argue about my age. I just signed a sheet and BOOM, I was 16. Pretty sweet. I finally talked to my online friend Caitlin ( Read more... )

EVERYONE seems to be born in November (although it is a sucky month to be born in, I will admit.) Reg, Laura Jean, Googs, ME... It never ends.

The weekend after Halloween, Dan planned a "guerilla birthday party" for Laura Jean. We were all at setwork that day, and so to keep all of us together but not let her find out what we were actually planning ( Read more... )

As to be expected at Reg's house, the boys are in the other room watching something unsavory (though this time they have refrained from sports for the time being and settled for Bond instead; I can only hope they will choose the parade tomorrow instead of football) and I have decided to use this opportunity to update with some pressing information.
