I just realized that I never thanked for guys for what you have done for me. Whether or not you know it just by being on this thread and talking to me, sharing jokes, your prayers, lending support and such it has helped me a lot. I m et most of you at a REALLY bad time when I was literally trying to decide if life was worth it or not and you accepted me which is a big deal for me since the people around me who I expected to be here at a time like this walked out- each and everyone of them but you all stuck with me so thank you for being the awesome people you are. I love you all as brothers and sisters

Also, Shouryu you had me laughing so much last night till I ended up in tears just laughing!! You rock!!

looking on the electric companies site showing when power should be restored to each area. noticing an odd trend. the More people affected the Longer the wait. 100 people will have their power back tonight or tomorrow. 4000 people in another area have to wait 5 days. that seems backwards.

I've been without power for days on end myself and know how frustrating it can be. Power companies have to assess total damage to the grid and work from individual substations out. It is possible that the area with 100 affected has minimal damage that a crew or two is able to repair quickly whereas the 4000 affected has sustained so much damage that putting every available person in that area wouldn't make much difference in the repair time.

Oh no! What nightmare did you have lil_C?
Click to expand...

It's really creepy and weird where it won't seem like a dream but it is a dream. I'll dream I wake up and there's chills running up and down my spine and the bed is shaking. I haven't gotten that dream in a while....yes, I've had it happen before. No, it's not fun. It's sometimes what keeps me up at night because I don't wanna sleep if I'm gonna have that nightmare, even though it's rare when it happens.
 
Also I can't believe this....I think I'm starting to mature! It's a miracle! I cleaned my room...and no one asked me to do it!! ....At least...not TODAY... >.> ANYWAYS. Neither Mom nor Dad asked me to today so it counts. :p


I also found a baby picture of me while cleaning! I might have to show you guys tonight. :D
 
PM me n' let's set a chat date n' time. :)

I left my church after 14 months. Let's just say I will need a whole lot of healing after that messiness.

My friend from another church has taken me under her wing and has tried to get me involved in the young adult night services and has invited me to get to know other Christians my age. She is insistent on playing match maker and sees my singleness as her own personal mission to overcome (I've had to gently tell her that God should handle this one). This is all well and good, she's gone out of her way to help me feel at home and appreciated and loved, and I love her dearly for this, but I don't know... right now, there's nothing more I want than to sit with mature aged women who love God and to just simply talk, and will let me listen.

I just want to hear stories. I just want to take it in and look through someone else's eyes for a little while. I want to learn. I want to be encouraged by someone else's life stories, I want to appreciate someone else's second hand life lessons and take them on board.

I am saddened when I come across posts by women anywhere from 40 years - 80 years of age, and there seems to be this cry out that they feel useless, or undervalued, or that they are unable to give anything of good worth (Not every woman in this age bracket, but I've come across a few to notice a pattern happening). To those women, I wish you were close to me, I wish I could sit down and have coffee with you, I wish I could hear your stories and see your eyes light up when you tell them to me. There are people out there who need you, and I am one of them. You have so much to give.

THAT'S why they have to pass through your sister's screening before you date them. :p

First off, I didn't like the post because I liked that you feel that way......I liked it because that's a pretty personal feeling to share out in the open. I hope that means your healing.

I've been thoroughly manipulated, back stabbed, betrayed....from women I was in love with, you name it just about and it's happened. But in the midst of the chaos I have been lucky enough to have a few very real and amazing experiences. It's tough putting it all out there and finding someone who won't take advantage of your openness. I think that's why everyone is so closed off and it's so hard to "click" with people these days. No one is really themselves until you really spend a lot of time with them, because we've all been through the above at the very least once.

I wonder how many people that go out on a date and it doesn't go well chalk it up to "well we just aren't a good match"....when it's really, both sides are sandbagging because they are worried and guarding their hearts a little TOO closely. A Catch 22 type situation

Going to be heading off for youth group's praise and worship practice soon! In a way I'm really happy and excited, but I also feel tired as heck and just as unprepared.

I had a really cool time with a guy friend tonight, and for the first time in a long time it didn't feel awkward or forced, it just felt like two friends talking and sharing with no intention of flirting whatsoever. I just realized how rare is that. I liked it.

My new current goal is to learn a dance I've been learning on YouTube. Not really for anyone but myself, as I'd likely be too shy to actually show anyone.

It's more complicated than I thought. The actual dance is about 46 seconds long, but I just barely have down the first 4 counts. However, I am determined to learn it. :D

I'm so not used to dancing, though, not like this. Arms, body, legs, feet...they all have parts at the same time and it takes all I have not to just flail around.

Haha there isn't much to say. We are in the Caribbean, a cosmopolitan country. Always warm here. We have so many tourists here constantly because of the environment. We're a really easy going laid back country.

They say it's okay to cry but it doesn't feel okay to. But it feels just as weird not to cry.


Seriously. Why are feelings and grieving so dang complicated?
