This weekend I ran into Elizabeth Kade at the Acci House.  She told me she loved reading my LJs, but alas!  I haven't posted in a good long while.  So just for her, here's a post ( Read more... )

My brother finally called me today.  I called him twice this week and he never called back.  Typical.  It got to the point where my friend Mark suggested I call leaving a message that said, "Cory, I'm pregnant and I really need someone to talk to"- just to get him to call me back!  (I'm saving that idea for a rainy day.)

I was excited that he was ( Read more... )

Not too long ago, I sent an email to David Hindman, the pastor at the Wesley Foundation on campus.  I love David.  He and I used to chat once a week about God and faith and life.  But now I'm in a very different place, so I wanted to talk to him again.  "More than ever, I want to define my faith for myself," I told him.  But he's out of town, so I ( Read more... )

First of all, the screen to my phone is broken.  It's a brand new phone.  And now I can't text!  Curses...

Secondly, I had more thoughts about God that I wanted to post, since my last entry seemed to spark some interesting conversation.  And it was the fact that there was a conversation about it that made me even have these thoughts.  Let me explain ( Read more... )

Yes yes, another one of those posts...

This past week or so I've been spending a lot of time with my friend Mark.  Mark is a Christian, but he's unlike most Christians I know.  Firstly, he wasn't raised in Christianity: his parents were kind of closet Christians.  They were quiet about their faith so that he and his brother could find it for ( Read more... )

I was driving home from Charlottesville this weekend when I past Richmond.  Last I checked, that's where my ex-boyfriend Chris was living.  So as I passed our glorious capital, I thought about him.  How is his life?  Does he still live in Richmond?  Does he have a job?  I was struck with curiosity.  So I decided to send him an email to see how his ( Read more... )

This weekend I went to my first ever cycling race at NC State!

I was talking with one of my best friends about another one of our best friends, who hasn't been such a best friend lately.  They both go to UVA.  She was saying that our friend has changed in a good way.  She's become less... uppity because she had an epiphany about God- that we're supposed to love him and love others, not impose that on other ( Read more... )

So I guess I should post about my 21st Birthday, even if it is a week late.

My birthday was not your typical 21st Birthday.  2 out of 3 attemps at buying and drinking alcohol in public were thrwarted.  I went to Casa Maya and forgot my ID.  Silly me.  I went to the Green Leafe and didn't get served after waiting for 20 minutes, so I left.  So lastly ( Read more... )

Every woman in our society has self-esteem issues.  No woman can ever be what society tells us women are supposed to be: sexy, beautiful, brilliant, the perfect wife, the perfect mom, the perfect career woman.  It's impossible.  And that's why so many women have low self-esteem.

Commercials and the media show women frustrated with frizzy hair or ( Read more... )
