Interests: Singing, reading, playing with cute, furry animals, writing in my journal, watching movies, learning about others, making "crafty" gifts for others, working with Young Life and WyldLife ministries
Expertise: Well, I used to feel like there wasn't anything in the world that I was just really good at. I was just mediocre at a lot of things. But now, I feel that singing is the one thing in the world that God has allowed me to be really good at. Other things I'm okay at- "making" artsy, crafty things, writing, being open and sharing, listening, encouraging

| Yuck. That's how I feel right now. It is 3:30 in the morning. I just vomited oh... about 30 minutes ago. Is it bad when you can feel in the acidic fumes in your espophogas? Yeah, I'm guessing it probably is. The past few nights I have been struck with the most horrible insomnia. It's like my body refuses to sleep when normal people's do. I only got a couple of scattered hours of restless sleep last night and then had to get up early for a Chorale church outing. Oh and I puked then too, after I got out of the van at the church. Not pleasant. I need to go to bed, but I know what'll happen. I will lie awake with my mind racing, unable to quiet my thoughts long enough to fall asleep, sick to my stomach, thinking about how much I just want to fall asleep and can't... why am I such a freak? Well, in any case, I gotta go lay on my back at least. Sitting up at my computer is just making me feel like I need to ralph again. Yuck. Yuck yuck yuck. | | |
| CFA: Code name for Crush From Afar (a.ka. someone you notice from afar who seems like a crush-worthy person and toward whom you feel a certain amount of attraction. Also, someone who you think you would like to get to know better in order to discern if they are or are not worthy of your full-blown crushing.) Now that that has been clarified, let me ask you this: have you ever had a CFA that you thought you might like, but really couldn't say for sure because you never have any opportunity to get to know this person on more than just a constantly crazy, huge group setting level? If so, how did you handle the dilima. I mean, you wouldn't want to come on too strong b/c, geez, you might not really even like this person that way. You just don't know yet. But you also don't want to just sit back and let life pass you by. So how do you get to know a CFA better without sending off premature "I really like you" signals? Any words of advice people? (And no, pick-a-dates are not the solution to my problem, since Swallow rarely has them, and when Swallow does have them, my already busy schedule seems to love interfering and making it impossible for me to go on them.) | | |
| People who are constantly argumentative, who like to start trivial, stupid arguments and conflicts over anything and everything any time of the day or night. I don't like conflict, people. I will deal with it head on when I must, but overall, I'd really just like to live at peace with the world around me. Is that such a bad thing? I'm not an avoider of genuine, productive, necessary conflict. Heck, I'm the DTR queen! I've had more DTRs with girls and guys than most of the people I know put together! And I was a conflict confronting PA last year, for crying out loud! But conflict for the sake of conflict irks me to no end! Isn't there some stuff in the New Testament about living at peace with those around you as much as possible? Yeah, I want that. And I discovered an additional pet peeve that is directly connected to this one: Pet Peeve #1a People who begin arguing about conflict--how it is a part of life and defending their right to trivial, supercilious conflict--after I ask them in great anquish after a long and difficult day to please drop it and stop creating unnecessary conflict. AND after I explain that one of the major reasons I hate when people insist on constantly arguing about everything and creating conflict non-stop is because this is precisely how my (former) best friend has become over the last year or so. I spent this past summer in constant conflict with her, constantly being backed into corner after corner by her over unimportant things that only drove wedges between us and led to the end of the friendship that I've been fighting so desperately for for so long now. It was a conflict-filled summer than ended in defeat. Aren't I justified in desiring a little peace from this sort of badgering? Don't I have a right to peace from trivial, ridiculous conflict from friends at school, especially when I explain to them the circumstances behind this intense desire for such peace? Ugh. Some people just don't think about their actions enough. That will be connected to my next pet peeve, which I will regale you with another time.  | Currently Watching

| I got a role in this semester's play! There are only 2 female roles, about 20+ girls auditioned, and I got a role!! Holy cow!! I'm so excited right now! I'll never get to sleep!!!  It is called A Man for All Seasons. It is a terrific story about a leader in the Catholic church who stands against the King and pays for it. He is just your everyday, common sort of man. He is very humble. But he is able to do great feats for God's sake. It's really a beautiful story. I play the part of Alice, the main character's wife--a bustling, loud-mouthed sort of woman who is constantly nagging her husband. And since the story is set in England, I get to try on my English accent for size after a couple of years without use. The play dates are October 27 and 28 and November 2, 3, and 4. I also have the lead in the opera, which we are working on musically now but will not be staging until J-Term. That show is called La Perichole (or The Gypsy Singer). In it I get to play a flighty, silly poor girl who marries the love of her life while completely drunk out of her mind and experiences a wide array of funny mishaps all throughout the show.  You should come see that one too! It will be very funny and entertaining and full of wonderful singing! The dates for that one are February 2, 3, and 4! Don't miss out on all the fun!! I will let you know when I find out the date for my senior recital too. I think my teacher is going to let me sing some Puccini!! I'm so excited! I'm sorry, I'm really not trying to sound like a braggart at all. I'm just so excited about all of these opportunies this year! And I wanted to share it with those I love most, and so so many of you are at the top of that list that I just had to go public and trust that all my subscribers would read this faithfully. By the way, I really love reading all your posts. I don't comment often, but I do read them. I love being able to get updates on your lives--especially those of you that I don't get to see very much or at all any more! (TU grads, we miss you and love you all!) Meg | | |
| Heather and I decorated our room last night, and let me tell you all, it is looking pretty darn sweet!! We went retro. When you walk in and fix your eyes on the clock between the windows you feel transported to the 70s... at least I do anyhow! 
Today was my first day of class. I had Art as Experience, Ethnic and Minority Issues, and Sounds rehearsal. I'm actually really looking forward to all of these classes. I think that they are all going to be very enriching. I'm especially looking forward to Ethnic and Minority Issues. My professor is from Nigeria originally and has been all over the world and all kinds of experiences. He has a deep African accent. I'm really excited about learning from him.
I think all my classes this semester are going to be courses that encourage me to dig deep and look beyond the surface of things. I don't really have any textbook-y, pointless assignment-loaded classes this semester. That really excites me!
Well, come visit me and Heather in 301 Swallow if you're around! Our room isn't unpacked yet, but boy does the "living room" area look great already!!
