You may be wondering what on earth I'm going on about now. Well you may. I'll stop your agonizings though, for I will tell you. I spent the evening with Pat tonight. I throughly enjoyed myself too , I might add. I always do though.

Anyhow, his roommate was home & somehow we got discussing strength and whether or not a man should be strong. Tania insisted that in today's day & age, men are supposed to be the weak ones, while I disagreed & said that men are supposed to be strong. I couldn't make her see my point & she couldn't make me see hers and eventually we kept going and talked about other things.

Thinking about it on the drive home, I better verbalized, in my head, how to say what I meant. I had come across as sounding very sexist, "Oh men are supposed to be the strong ones." but that wasn't my intention at all. Men are supposed to be strong, but so are women. Strength does not indicate superiority. Every person on this planet is supposed to be strong, man, woman & child. But there are different kinds of strength, as the long list of definitions from dictionary.com proves. The most commonly thought of strength is physical. But there is mental strength too, and emotional strength, and psychological strength, and moral strength.

It would be very sexist for me to say that men are supposed to be strong & women are supposed to be weak. Also not true. But at the same time, isn't it sexist to say that men are supposed to be weak and women are supposed to be strong? We're all created equal. One and the same. If you believe in creation, Eve was created from Adam's rib. Not from his heel, to be underneath him & inferior to him. Not from his skull, to be above him & superior to him. But from his rib, to be beside him & be equal to him.

So if men & women are created to be equal, both are to be strong. It's similar to bravery. Bravery is not the lack of fear, but acting in spite of the fear. Strength is not to be superior to another, but to be equal to them. Sure I'm bound to have strength that a guy wouldn't have, but at the same time, I have strength that another chick won't have. And sure a guy is going to have strength that I don't have, but he is also going to have strength that other guys don't have.

Strength doesn't always mean physical. Weak doesn't always mean physical either though. Men & women both are supposed to be able to take care of themselves & protect themselves & fend for themselves. But they are also supposed to be able to take care of their mate/loved ones, take care of their mate/loved ones & protect & fend for their mate/loved ones.

"A strong man stands up for himself. A stronger man stands up for others." That's a quote from Barnyard, one of the recent animated movie flicks. It's true too. But it doesn't just apply to men. It applies to all human kind.

Everyone has strength of one sort or another & everyone is supposed to be strong. Men too.

G'night my peeps. I'll shut up now. I'm sure you've gotten the gist of what I'm trying to say. I hope so at least. I tryed & if I keep on, it'll end up being babbling, and repetitive. Oh, and this used to be my brother's website. He has a poem on the title page about what a real man is. A real man is strong (whoa, deja vu, gracious me!) & that's simply the way it is. http://members.tripod.com/~dtmullin/dougmullin.html

Cheers to you! Cake & cookies too!

I'm a bridesmaid in her wedding in July or August (I forget the day exactly right now) & she wants to get the small stuff like that done as early as possible. It makes sense, totally would save on last minute running around. Well, cut back on anyway, because there's always lots of that.

Cheers to you! Cake & cookies too!

Neato Name Thing

Dearest My Peeps,
I'm headed to bed, but I just discovered this cool-o name thing. It tells you what you name means, letter by letter. It's pretty acurate too, barring the bit about me liking to drink. I guess it depends how you look at it. I do like to drink, just no alcohol. I've always got something on the go, be it juice or pop. Anyhow, I'm totally posting it. I'll put my thoughts on each letter of my name in brackets after the letter.

V : You are not judgemental. (Try not to be, at least)
I : You are great in bed. (Won't know that till I'm married, if I ever do get married)
C : You are really silly. (I try. *flattered*)
K : You're wild and crazy. (Uh, maybe?)
Y : Best g/f b/f anyone could ever ask for. (I dunno, would have to ask Pat, I suppose.)

E : A damn good kisser. (Would have to ask the only guy I've ever kiss, I guess.)
L : Everyone loves you! (Well, obviously!)
L : Everyone loves you! (Duh!)
E : A damn good kisser. (Ask the same guy again.)
N : You like to drink. (True enough, just no alcohol, as all who know me will say)

M : You're the best kisser ever. (I'm starting to notice a trend?)
U : You really like to chill. (Yuppers. Chil-laxing all the way.)
L : Everyone loves you. (Yup, yup you do.)
L : Everyone loves you. (Still trending?)
I : You are great in bed. (What's up with all this trending!?)
N : You like to drink. (Yup. Again, just not alcohol.)

What all the letters mean:
A : You like to drink.
B : You like people.
C : You are really silly.
D : You like to drink.
E : You're a damn good kisser.
F : You are dead sexy.
G : You never let people tell you what to do.
H : You have a very good personality and looks.
I : You are great in bed.
J : People adore you.
K : You're wild and crazy.
L : Everyone loves you.
M : You're the best kisser ever.
N : You like to drink.
O : You're an awesome kisser.
P : You are popular with all types of people.
Q : You are a hypocrite.
R : You're f-ing crazy.
S : You're easy to fall in love with.
T : You're loyal to those you love.
U : You really like to chill.
V : You are not judgemental.
W : You are very broad minded.
X : You never let people tell you what to do.
Y : Best g/f b/f anyone could ever ask for.
Z : You're always ready

Dudes, you should totally do it too. It'd be interesting to see what y'all got too. It's just a bit of fun after all. Ah well, I enjoyed it. Beyond that, if other people would enjoy it, so be it. If not, well, should know better than to read my blog. I've been on a quiz madness lately & it'll take a while to run its course I'm sure. It usually does.

Bedtime now! Cheers to you! Cake & Cookies too!

Random Quizzes. Again.

Dearest My Peeps,
I totally discovered another one of those quizzes. I'm quiz crazy. What is a rising sign anyway? And that got me looking around the site again. I really am quiz crazy. I'll try to keep them to a minimum this time, if I can.

Your Rising Sign is Aquarius

You are an interesting mix of introspective and outlandish. Waving your freak flag high, you really do things your own way. While you may seem distant, you care very deeply for humanity. You just have no tolerance for fools, slackers, or dullards. And while you're fairly misanthropic, many are drawn to you. Innovative and clever, people look to you for new ideas and trends.

What's Your Rising Sign?

You Are A Romantic Realist

You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance. Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know. And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball... But you'd never admit it to your friends!

Are You Romantic or Realistic?

Your Observation Skills Get A C-

You tend to notice the big things in life... But the details aren't exactly your forte

How Observant Are You?

In 1983 (the year you were born)

Frankly, the way most other Democrats behave embarasses you greatly. You pride yourself on a high level of morals, and you have a good grasp on right and wrong.

Baptisms & Fredricton

Dearest My Peeps,

How're things? I'm doing quite well. I took Patrick home yesterday, then stayed over night. He went to Fredricton for March Break. He'll be back again next Saturday or Sunday. I throughly enjoyed myself. Apparently I'll be back for a few days in May. One of his friends is getting married & he's asked me to be his "plus one" to the ceremony. Not a clue what I'll wear, but hey, I can bet it'll be clothes of some sort. Likely niceish ones too.

There was a baptismal service tonight at church. There were four planned baptisms & one total spontaneous one. After Pastor was done the four, he was like "I've never done this here before, but if there's anybody who should be up here being baptized, feel free to come up. I'll wait a few minutes for you." So the assistant pastor kept singing, while Pastor waited.

Now, let me add, that I don't fully know if I was ever baptized before or not. I think I was, but I don't really remember for sure. If I was, I was young enough that it didn't make much of an impact, though I seem to recall making them all laugh. And really, it would have been just because it was the thing to do, not because Jesus had actually done anything for me, besides letting me be born into the family I was. It wasn't till I was almost 14 that He personally saved me & pulled me back from the brink. (If you don't know what, when or how & want to know, ask. If you know, great. If you couldn't care less, your choice.)

So I was the totally spontaneous one. Mrs. Pastor followed me out of the sanctuary, to see if I needed help getting the robe on (they have choir robey things for baptisms, to guarentee something doesn't become see through or something I guess). Since I had no change of clothes, I didn't specially need help. I stripped off down to my bra and panties (I couldn't have went in front of the congregation without those; I'd have felt like such a tramp & wouldn't have survived) and put the robe on. Then I totally went to the baptismal tank. Pastor asked me if I wanted to share what was on my mind. I was totally like, "Well, I don't know if I was ever baptised or not. Apparently if I was, I was young enough that it didn't make much of an impression. And since it wasn't till I was 13 or 14 that Jesus personally made an impression on me, if I ever was, it was when I was pretty little. But Jesus is now my best friend, has been for years, & I just wanted to make sure that people know."

Well, if there was any doubt before, there's none now. At least, hopefully. I haven't been to church really regular the last little while. The rare time I have a Sunday off, it's usually the only day Patrick and I have off together, so I go to his place. But I've been missing church some, not ever being there, so I've been trying harder to get out a bit more regular. And I still get to see Patrick at least once a week, so it's great.

I guess that the weirdest part is, Jesus & I are doing the best we ever have. Now I have to work at the relationship harder I guess, and that would do it, wouldn't it? But isn't it a little sad that it was always so hard when I spent all my spare time with my fellow Christians? I never did fit with them though, so that's part of it too. I never did fit with anybody anywhere until I started working where I work now. As far as I know, I'm the only Christian there. Well, one of them is a relatively faithful Catholic, so they might be, I dunno. But at least one is agnostic & I'm pretty sure another is to. One equates Jesus with Santa & they since don't believe in Santa, you can see where this leads. Another can't prove that Jesus was the Son of God, just that He did for certain exist, so they can't believe in Someone who can't be proven. The last one doesn't care one way or the other, & doesn't want to think too much about the whole thing.

Definately more power to them, don't get me wrong. I don't care what they believe, it's not really any of my business. I know that Jesus is the Son of God, the Maker of the universe & the only Key to eternal life. I know without a doubt that I'm right & everybody who disagrees with the fact is wrong. But I can't tell anybody anywhere what they need to believe. It's not my place, nor my issue. It's entirely between them & God & they can deal with it on their own as they come to the place where they need to.

What's weird is that this is the first place I've ever fit in. Not with the other people who claim to love Jesus. Not with the people where everybody is supposed to fit. No, I fit with the people who think I'm "religious" because they don't know the difference between religion & a relationship with the Maker of Everything. I fit with the people who have little or nothing to do with Jesus. What's wrong with this picture, really though? I mean, hooray that I finally fit, but WHY!? Why can't the church accept everybody as they are rather than trying to change them? Why does the church feel that it's their responsibility to do what only God can do? Only God can change people. Only God should have any say about where somebody fits. Only God, not the church.

It just annoys me that organized religion has twisted scripture so throughly. "It's all about a man, who died on the cross, to save the world. He rose from the dead, did what He said He would. He loved everyone He saw, what He did says it all." It's a song by Audio Adreniline I think. I'm not sure who it's by, but it's truth. It's all about the fact that Jesus, who is God, part of the Trinity, and the Maker of everything left Heaven, left perfection, to live & die as a human. He left all that was good & pure & holy to grow up here. To be rejected & scorned & to die in one of the most painful ways possible at that time. To come back to life 3 days later, having descended into hell to conquer death.

Yup, sure pretty nearly everybody alive today is going to physically die. But everybody alive today will not stay dead. Jesus offered a way out of death, hell & the grave. He offers life immortal to anybody who will accept it. To EVERYBODY who will accept it, not just to the ones who fit with the church today.

Thus, religion irritates me. It does nothing but hurt, kill & destroy. Look at the chaos in the Middle East. It's all about religion. Live, and let live. I know I'm right, but apparently hardly anybody else has figured that out yet. Oh well, they'll know for sure one day. Scripture says that one day every knee will bow & every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Anyhow, I'm shutting up now. The above wasn't intended to offend anybody. As I've said before & will say again, everybody is entitled to believe whatever they so desire. That not only encompasses everybody else, but also me. I can believe what I want to, just like any other person on this planet.

And I choose to believe Jesus & "Life without end, amen." It's the only thing that makes complete sense & the one thing that cannot be squelched, no matter how hard anybody trys. It's been around more than 2000 years (since time began to be perfectly honest) & will be around time immemorable. That's my choice. I wish everybody else would make the same choice & discovery, but until they do, whatever. They can make their own choice.

So I'm really shutting up now. G'night Dearest My Peeps. Cheers!

Which Season Are You?

You Belong in Fall

Intelligent, introspective, and quite expressive at times... You appreciate the changes in color, climate, and mood that fall brings Whether you're carving wacky pumpkins or taking long drives, autumn is a favorite time of year for you

What Season Are You?

Dearest My Peeps,
I just found a how Texan are you test. Apparently I'm 40% Texan, as welcome there as a skunk at a lawn party. Go figure, I'm from Northern New Brunswick. It only stands to reason I suppose.

Then I saw that there were other tests. This one piqued my interest the most. And I was really impressed that the season I am is the season I most adore. Barring the bit about carving wacky pumpkins (merely for fear of carving a finger or thumb from my body), it is very accurate. And I like wacky pumpkins, I'm just incredibly clumsy and not to be trusted with a sharp knife. I have scars to prove that, though many of them are faded beyond recognition.

Anyhow, I'm off for bed. I'm headed to Fredricton tomorrow with my Pat and would like to be alert for the trip. I needn't have another accident so soon. I needn't ever have another accident, God willing. Especially not with someone I care for deeply in the vehicle with me. I would never forgive myself if something happened to anybody that I love because of my own carelessness.

Thus, Bed. Cheerio Mates!

Nothing Big

Dearest My Peeps,

I just decided to blog because I haven't blogged in a while. I don't especially have anything important to blog about, I just want to blog. I totally rewatched Man of the Year again. It was slower starting than I remember, but gee, it was a good movie. For Your Consideration was alright too. Not amazing by any means, but alright. I saw Man About Town with Ben Affleck last weektoo. It was so bad that it was actually quite good. I was very impressed. The Departed was alright too. It was mostly drama, with the occasional humour/action thrown in to mix things up. Then suddenly during the last 10 minutes, there was more action than in the entire movie.

Not that I'd make a very good movie critic. I'm so bloody fussy about what I watch. I really am looking forward to Flushed Away & Stranger Than Fiction. That's for definate sure. I'm not keen on Will Ferrell as a leading man, but Stranger Than Fiction looks stupendous. It'll either be awesome or absolutely horrible. I doubt it can be so bad than it'd be awesome at any rate. A Good Year looks pretty good too. I'm stoked for all the good movies coming out this month, it's great.


So yeah, it's been an alright week. Still haven't heard about Pinky. He was supposed to be ready end of last week & they're going to call me when he's fixed. They still haven't called. Or at least if they did, they didn't have the decency to leave a message on my phone. I'm presuming that indicates they haven't called yet. It's alright though, I totally get the rental until he's fixed, so they can take their time. I don't mind at all, so long as I have a car to drive in the meantime.

I totally got to spend time with Pat on Monday too. We celebrated our 7 month-i-versary & Valentine's Day. The 7 month was on the 10th & Valentine's on the 14th and Monday was the 12th, so it was totally timed great. He took me to Boston Pizza, then we went back to his place & watched "Zoom: An Academy for Superheros". I really liked. A lot! They totally had a Superchick song in it too. I was stoked! It's rare to have a Christian band in a regular movie. I knwo that lots of band have Christian people in it, but the bands that are marketted specifically to Christian kids usually don't branch out into the rest of the world. I don't understand why not, because they're all pretty much the same as the regular bands, except that they have clean lyrics & a good message.

Anyhow, I'm going to stop talking. I sat down with nothing to talk about & other than the bit about Pat, I did just that & talked very well about nothing. So I'm going to shut up now. Have a great day my peeps.

Wordy Stuffs of Update Value

Dearest My Peeps,
This is a detailed report of things lately. It's wordy, I'll warn you now, but at least you'll all know what's been going on.

I've been well enough. There was that car accident Sunday night on my way home from work. I didn't notice the stop sign & only saw the truck when it was WAY to late to stop. I was going straight & he was turning onto the street I was travelling on. I took out his driver front corner. Being a truck, he wasn't damaged too much & was rather more concerned that I wasn't hurt. I wasn't, though I was rather shaken.

Fortunately the front end went under his car, smashing up the hood & shoving the parts all back. The radiator was the only inside thing hurt, along with the radiator ... umm.. something. It's something that I think holds the rad in place or something. The airbag sensor was missed entirely, which is spectacular! They're wicked expensive to get put back in, not to mention that I'd likely have had a broken nose/glasses to top it all off. I also wasn't going very fast, since the limit was 50 kms & I had my cruise control set. It was probably under 30 at impact too, since I did jump on the brakes as hard as I could.

My chest was a little sore that night from the seatbelt, but that was about it. I was told that I'd be super sore the next day & I totally wasn't/amn't. It's all working out well enough too. I got a rental car the next day by 6 pm & that's a great bonus. I even got to name the rental since I'm the first person in the Miramichi to rent it. Her name is Lucielle.

I don't know what I'd have done if the bank hadn't insisted on full insurance. I'd be right up poo creek right now, without a paddle. And I can't canoe well with a paddle, let alone without one. Another plus note is that my deductible is only $250. I was expecting it to be $500 and the insurance lady was all shocked because apparently they often run at $1000 or more. So I only have to pay that before I pick up my car, which apparently should be by the end of next week.

The problem with that is that there is no way on this sweet earth that I can get that much money in that short a time frame. Honestly, what do I look like, a bank!? Not to mention that this pay I am short a shift (had to get time off for Jury Duty, which I ended up not having to do anyway, so I visited my Jacqui for a few days) Ah well, my God owns the cattle on a thousand hills (not to mention that He made them, cattle AND hills, too!) so I'm trying to trust to Him to take care of it for me. When Somebody runs the universe, something this like would be apple sauce.

And on a serious plus note, my insurance will not go up. Yet anyway. They can't put the price up until my renewal in September, at which point I might possibly have saved enough money to be able to pay for it without a concern. Well, with less of a concern anyway. In the meantime, I need to stop buying stuff that I don't need (ie:games, books, DvD's!, etc)

On a different note, I totally named my NDS Tevra Lucielle. Now I totally want to get a specific game for it now, but you can bet that ain't happening anytime soon. Oi. Ah well, it's my own stupid fault. It's not bad though, one accident in 6 years of driving, no other infractions of any kind what so ever (at least, none that were recorded). I did get a ticket this time for failing to yeild in an intersection, but I have till the beginning of March to pay that, so I'm not as worried about it yet. I will be worried about it as soon as God provides the deductable, but not until then. And even then, I'm going to try my hardest to leave it all in his hands. His perfect timing. Worrying won't help anyway. "If you don't worry, you die. If you worry, you still die. Why worry?" I don't know where Daddy heard it, but it's totally true, that's for sure.

They're awesome at work too. There's an extra 6 hour shift next week. They could've given it to any other of the employees but they totally let me have it, because they figured that I can really use the extra hours right now. They're totally right, I totally can really use them, especially right now. It's great. God is so good to me sometimes that it totally isn't funny. I don't know what I'd do without Him. Quite honestly.

Different topic again, on the 10th of February I'll have been with Pat for seven months. It's the longest I've ever dated anybody. It's great. The best part is that it's not the fact that I finally have a boyfriend. I could do without a boyfriend just fine; I did for three years. The best part is the fact that the boyfriend is Patrick Thomas Snow (his full name). As I'm sure I've said before. Anyway, Hooray! I wouldn't want a boyfriend if it had to be any other boy. Most boys are creepy. Cooties & all that.

Off topic, short aside, we still have mice. The cat died a few years ago & now we have mice. Oi. I hope that Dad'll finally cave in & let me get kitty again. We never had mice when we did have kitty, that's for sure.. I don't mention it to him hardly at all though, because nagging & whining won't do one bit of good. Honestly. If I've learned nothing else, it's to leave him be & let it be his decision. Besides, he totally knows my opinion on the matter already & what's the point of trying to shove it down his throat? I'm waiting for the day that he comes home with this tiny scrap of misused kitty that he found lost, alone &/or nearly dead somewhere & lost part of his heart too... I'm sure hoping anyway. And I have a secret weapon! *attempting evil cackle* I've totally been praying about it! MWAHAHAHA! He has no fighting chance! *GLEE*

And to elaborate briefly (well, as briefly as possible) on the short calling in the cavalry post the other day, there was this bad snow storm. Work closed early, which is something of a miracle & says it all. They'll be out of power & stay open because people on the other side of town have power & are snowmobiling in through the raging blizzard.

Anyway, person taking over for me got into work & was all like "I dunno how you're going to get home" I live 30 kms away from work, which is a good half hour drive in good weather. I came back with "Very carefully?" They were all like, "Yeah, no you really should stay at your friend's place that lives handy to here. It's super bad out." I was like, "Well, nope, I can't do that, I have to pick Mum up when I get off to take her home." So I got to leave right then, so I'd be home before dark (and I just barely was too) & didn't have to take the deposit to the bank like normal because they figured with the roads as bad as they were, it wasn't safe to be on them anymore than I had to be. So when I was out back getting my coat & such on, I totally took a minute & sat down & prayed. It was something like, "Jesus, if the roads are as bad as they're all going on about, I can't drive home. I know I have snow tires & animal whistles, but I'm going to need more than that to get home safely. Keep me safe, get me & Mum home in one piece. If you have to, take control of my conciousness & keep my extra alert & do the driving for me. Because I cn't do it alone."

So that's fine, then I called in the cavalry. I called up my Jacqui & told her to pray too. She totally did. It was a bit rough getting my car out of the parking lot, but not hardly at all. I had moved my car earlier in the day & cleaned it off, so it wasn't buried completely or anything. The roads were fine. Snowpacked, so I had to average 15 kms below the limit, but I've driven in way worse conditions. The worst bit was when I got home & nearly got stuck trying to pull into my driveway. Daddy hadn't shovelled at all, because he hadn't realized how much snow had fallen. When he went to an unspoiled spot and checked it was at least a foot, probably closer to two feet. I forget exactly. Darn lot of snow anyway.

So yeah, I got home fine, JEsus didn't need to drive for me or anything. It's great.

And now my wrist is sore, from wording so much. So this is me, shutting up. I've been super wordy, AGAIN! It's a bad habit that I have, wording all over the place. Ah well, at least you've totally been updated on all things of import. I think of you often, pray for you more. Do be safe!

Cheers! Happy day!

Lately

Dearest My Peeps,

I skimmed through my blog last night, looking for something. Wow they're mostly all WAY too long. I want to apologize. I'm sorry for being so long winded. This'll be short, as I have stuffs to do before going to work. (IE: Breakfast)

I had a car accident the other day. I'm fine & I have a full insurance so I totally have a rental until Pinky gets fixed. I don't actually know if they can fix him yet or now. The insurance guy was supposed it go out & take a look at it yesterday to see if it was worth fixing or if it would just be cheaper to replace him.

I dunno what I'm hoping for. I love Pinky & hope he can be okay, but if there're going to be long term problems caused because of the accident, I don't want him to be okay. I don't want to have to pay for this for the rest of the time I own him.

Oh well, I'll find out sometime soon. In the meantime, I'm supposed to be sore. Key word supposed to be. I was a bit that night, but I haven't been in any pain at all since. It's great. *GLEE* Somebody tryed to be nice by pointing out that sometimes whiplash takes a few days to show itself, but I just told them to shut up. I'm not sore & it should stay that way. If not, well, I'll deal with that when I haves to.

I'm getting wordy again, so I'll take off for now. Have an awesome week & be safe. Do as I say in this & not as I do too! God's hand kept me safe, or to word it the way everybody else does, I was damn lucky. But God's such a busy guy, what with running the universe, please go out of your way to be safe, where possible, give Him a bit of a break.

Cheers!
