Beckie!!!

well, ok, so a new watch might not be exciting to many people... but this one is especially cool! it has smiley faces all over it and a purple face and the band is made of clear plastic... see, it all started when i got the battery replaced on my watch... i brought it home and because the clasp was broken, it fell off my wrist onto the tiles and the glass cracked rather majorly! now it had been months since my watch battery died and i figured it would just be cheaper to buy a new watch than get both the clasp and glass fixed on this watch... so when i was having lunch with Sarah today, very fun experience - you should all try it, we looked briefly at watches, sarah suggested that with the current state of my finances i should look at the kids watches, and lo and behold, i found two that i absolutely loved! i don't think it really needs to be said that i only came home with one of them, but just incase any of you know my spending habits i'll clarify that! :-P see, the other watch i fell in love with was adorable! it was a superman watch! soooooo cote! not only was superman the face of the watch, but the band was rubber and had all these built in superman pictures and it was soooo cool! but sadly :'-( it didn't fit my wrist... so we kept looking and found this one! i think my favourite thing about it is the second...smiley face... see, it doesn't have a second hand, but instead has this smiley face which rotates, and clicks around on every second! i love it!!! so much amusement!!! so as much and i liked the superman watch, i think i like this one much much more! and i think it will definately provide much amusement in lectures and at other times when i'm just bored! and that's really all i have to say about that...

 

oh, and the other thing i discovered today is that Moore College has an external study program that i'd love to do nad i think i might even start it this semester! it's called the Certificate in Theology (or ThC for those of you who like to see the letters :-P) and i think it woul fit in with my uni stuff this year quite well... they work in 4 ten week terms starting on the 1st of march and the subjects look really interesting to me too! if you'd like to know more, have a look here and see what you think... i guess the thing that relaly draws me in is that there are no assignments during the term, only an exam at the end and so it wont interfere too much with uni. I actually think i could do a lot of the work in my free hours at uni if i have a couple of 2 hour breaks. anyway, i'm going to sign off here... i hope you've had a good day! :-)

yet another day of sitting around doing nothing... there are probably things i could do but all i really feel like doing is curling up in a friend's arms to talk about all the things which have been happening in my life lately, but as usual everyone's busy... life at home is getting harder and harder and i just wish i had the distractions of uni... i really want the holidays to be over... at least then i'd have a change of scenery... i'm having lunch with someone tomorrow so we'll see if anything happens there, but it's doubtful... superficial seems to be best lately... and the only thing that goes on anyway... i found more bruises on my legs too... maybe i'm a sleepwalker and i didn't even know... these bruises on my shins are quite bizzare... it feels really wierd having Dave away now... it has occurred to me that the only reason i was out of the house so much in December was extra work shifts and hanging with Dave, which don't get me wrong is really great, but the other thing that occurred to me is that the people who promised they would keep me busy this summer have no time for me... i just wish people wouldn't promise things if they weren't willing to go through with their promises...

Playground school bell rings again

Rain clouds come to play again

Has noone told you she's not breathing

Hello

I am your mind giving you someone to talk to

Hello

 

If i smile and don't believe

Soon i know i'll wake from this dream

Don't try to fix me i'm not broken

Hello

I am the lie living for you so you can hide

Don't cry

 

Suddenly i know i'm not sleeping

Hello

I'm still here

All that's left of yesterday

well, yes, i do realise that it's been a really long time since i've posted and a REALLY long time since i've actully posted a substantial message on here... for that i am very sorry, but don't expect any genuine repenting because i know myself which means it'll probably be another long time before anothe post appears :-( ummm stuff that has happened... well Mike's away, christmas has passed, summer camp has passed as has new year's...

 

something exciting which happened to me today was that someone from work asked me what my new year's resolution was and i said i'd like to spend more time praying and we got into this long discussion of what prayer is and why we pray and he mentioned that he'd like to find out more about Christianity and why it exists and stuff but then the conversation had to end becuase i had to go back to my register, but please pray for Jack, i really hope and pray that his search will end in the truth! i'm thinking of giving him mere christianity to read but i want to finish it myself first to make sure it's alright...  i know it's apparently a great book, but i'd like to be able to talk to him about it if he does want to read it, so it'd be good to know what's in it myself...

 

Mmmmm water... i went out for farewell drinks for another work guy tonight after work and now i'm really thirsty! i should probably go to bed soon though... i'm gtting sleepy... it is midnight... well i might sign off... i hope you're well...
