Wisdom of June (2012 Edition)

Sun, 01 Jul 2012 11:16:19 -0400

Try not to be in denial about how much pain you are in. Even though its just a stupid bike wreck, your collarbone could be broken. Seriously.

Although autonomy/self sufficiency seems like the better option, that’s just your pride speaking.

Maybe it’s not the best idea to become chums with your older guy neighbors…*shudder*

You don’t have to be besties to be good friends. You just have to care about each other and be there for each other through tough times.

You won’t die or spontaneously combust if you initiate with the guy you like. So DON’T FREAK OUT.

Toast.

[All of the above “Wisdom” was obtained through personal experience, and would probably be more accurately described as “Common Sense”.]

Why do we assume insults are sincere, but compliments are not?

I was musing in class last week that the decision to unify countries without the basis/foundation of God could be speculated to be made in vain, being that it could have been formed with the basis of greed and ill will, rather than for the good of all. Each nation wants something for themselves, and this is a take-take relationship rather than a giving relationship. This begs the question, are they doomed to fail?

Wisdom of the end of 2011

Some Wisdom.

To kick off 2012:

Jack is not my friend.

Don’t trust a man. Ever.

Even if he has a girlfriend.

If you cry, the guy teasing you will flip out.

I was in an intense internal struggle today. I don’t need to stay and talk to the cute boy in class. Eating food is more important. Universe Thwarted.

You know you have a true friend when he can say “good night beautiful” in a completely platonic but complementary way. Having a good friend be so caring for me when I feel so incredibly alone makes it hurt a whole lot less. To anyone reading this, tell someone you care. They might be feeling unloved, and a simple caring message might make them cry with thankfulness for God’s precious gift of friends. It sure did that to me.

P.S. My posts get choppy like a morse code telegram when I have a lot of strongly felt feeling-thoughts.

You know it's the Sideways House when...

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 03:40:08 -0400

There is art everywhere.

Everyone is always eating.

There are almost always home baked goodies.

Only the residents of the house laugh at their jokes.

The air conditioning vent is defiled.

Getting ready for a house hangout is a cleaning frenzy.

Getting all 5 of us ready to go somewhere is a clothing horror film.

You know it's The Establishment House when....

Sat, 23 Jul 2011 02:46:41 -0400

Everything in their fridge looks like it might grow legs and walk out of the fridge.

Posters are only on the walls to cover up punch holes.

Firecrackers get thrown around in the house. (Sometimes at you)

You get made fun of in Hebrew.

What? Yehhhh.

You and your best friend will probably be sneak attacked if you sit too close together.

You will most likely be shouted at many times.

You have not seen the best movies.

The day has finally come. Well… it’s 30 minutes into Friday anyway. Today is the day I move out of my parents house and in with 4 other girls into a Xenos Ministry House! I am so excited I could just explode. My life is almost ready for transport in 30 smallish boxes. And I am writing in choppily short sentences. This is what happens when I get excited. I start to sound like a morse code translation. Stop. It’s only a few days into Summer, and it is off to a very nice start. Now I just have to conquer major grocery shopping. :]

Old Memories

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:02:49 -0400

I’ve been going through all of my things and throwing away anything I don’t need to keep, and these are a few of the gems I uncovered. Young me was a bit overdramatic.

“Girls were coming up to Jake and saying, ‘You’re hot!’ and ‘I like your sunglasses!’ I smirked from behind my curtain of invisibility”

“My future boyfriend (if one ever happens along) will NOT be clingy” (hah, I still stand by that one)

I wrote a persuasive on why microwaves are good and not very harmful at all. ….For my own personal use, not for a class.

[excerpt from my travel diary, 2006] “Dad and Mom were having trouble with directions and were getting cranky. Really cranky. Daniel about poked Diana’s eye out twice, and Dad yelled at us and used some colorful metaphors and THEN he made us be quiet for the last two hours of the car trip. During this critical time there was absolutely nothing to do.”

Every single one of my diaries has written in the cover, “CAN NOT BE READ BY ANYONE BUT JENNIFER M BARRY AND SHANNON L GRANDY.”

I referred to my younger siblings as “The Screamer and The Worm”.

Much amusement has come today from all the diaries and letters I’ve saved. And now they shall be laid to rest as I pack to move out and make many new and possibly more amusing memories. :]
