A Light in the Darkness

I've always been told about light and darkness, and how great it is to be a light in the darkness. And then, it finally clicked today when someone talked about this. If there is any light in any kind of darkness, the light wins—always. It's so true. No matter how large a dark, black room is. If someone lights a match, anyone in that room will be able to see it. Darkness can't hide light! So if ever you feel like maybe you were supposed to have a part in someone's life, or be that light in someone else's life, and you didn't feel like you did anything, remember—light in any kind of darkness wins. Always. It can be seen.

3 more days....

The print lab is out of ink.

I think I'm going crazy.

I need to get out of here.

But my mustache book is DONE!

Things to do this sumer

1. Read in my claimed spot by the river—Pride and Prejudice, The Princess Bride, The Prestige, Screwtape Letters, Narnia Series, Blue like Jazz.

2. Create an awesome stop-animation film

3. Find and look through random magazines, newspapers, editorial pieces—proof read and

critique them, and then leave them where I found them.

4. Photo-shoot adventures

5. Illustrate my alter-ego or inner child

6. Stay physically active

7. Make some awesome-bangin' cupcakes

8. Organize and make a back up system for every school item in a cd case

9. Do any sort of design project that I haven't been able to do

10. Find where there are free local outdoor movies

11. Go shopping for clothing only at vintage, second hand, or thrift shops. Unless I need

underwear.

The Shit Hath Hitteth the Fan…ith.

I don't understand what it takes to make someone angry constantly. To live day in and day out completely and utterly miserable. To be completely unhappy about everything in your life and complain about every single thing one could possibly imagine. To rejoice in others misery and only care about yourself. I don't get it and I'm done dealing with it. Fortunately I won't have to for more than a week. Maybe it's God testing me, testing my response. At this point in time, I have no energy to even care anymore. I'm just glad that next Thursday ends my current living situations and will eventually, in the fall, bring something else.

When Insults Had Class

Thanks to Ali :-)

These glorious insults are from an era before the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words.
