Cat = Bite = Infection

I got bit by the worlds meanest cat this morning. It hurt....needless to say.

Ok so, yesterday I was little quiet with my post. Indeed, the sunset really was making me feel weird. But, it's nice and bright outside now and I think I can write a little more now.

To start with, I failed my Engineering class and had to drop it in order to keep my GPA up for the scholarships and what-not. Turns out Engineering and I are not compatable together, so im in the process of finding another major that best suits me. Im thinking maybe Theatre but i've always been scared to act on that feeling. I guess I just dont want my family to think badly of me for not bringing in a butt-load of moola. But, I think i've got the bug and i'm more than willing to act on it. (Hehehe, I made a pun)

I've also been meeting a lot of new people, which is completely the opposite of how I used to be, but it's more of a reflection of how I truly am. I love people and I love interacting with them. For the past 4 years I was confined to the house of my upbringing but now that I have this freedom, im determined not to squander it. Something I never used to have the courage to do was to simply introduce myself to new people, especially with others around them also. But recently it's become easier and easier to do this, and I dont regret it for one minute. I've met more people now, in the past 7 weeks, than I have in about all 4 years of highschool. But numbers aren't important. It's the merit of these people that make them awesome. Good Christian people who simply love each other. Nothing shallow or superficial....just real. It's a weird concept to realize but its true. Also, I think the biggest difference is that now....i'm actually happy.

I fasted for the first time a day ago. I did it b/c I was seeking the Lord's direction with where he wanted me to be in life. Actually, I still am looking but this morning I woke up and just realized that I'm looking way too hard. It just clicked like that. But, also, I didnt like my fast b/c I feel like I didnt do it right from the start. But it was my first and I'm not discoraged at all. I mean, you cant learn unless you try right? So, I plan on fasting again, maybe for a little longer next time. And please dont think that b/c im talking about it in this manner that it isnt very important to me. But computers have a hard time reflecting tone so..this is tha best I can do.

Liz and I are on a higher level now. We are really friends, and i'm mucho happy with that. In fact, i've taken a different position (if only momentary) on relationships completely. I think I can finally be content with being alone. Although technically I'm NOT alone. The Lord is always here, now and forever, and that's good enough for me. I mean, he created everything...all of this is his doing. So why have a creation when you can have the creator himself? Maybe it's weird to word it like that but the feeling is there. The Lord must come before all and that's how it's supposed to be. Im not saying it's easy though.....it really isnt. But....the motivation is there...the will power is there and I hope he'll keep strengthening me to hold this position. It's all about him, not us.

For the past 2 days i've met some really cool girls. Tuesday, after the bible study type session that happened at the place that's my new hangout (called the Wesly Foundation) I met a twin. Her name is Holly, though i've forgotten her sister's name. I only talked to Holly anyways, so that's my I mention her. She's graduated school already as an Art major and has a job with an organization around here In Ruston.....I forget what it's called also. She's part of this pseudo-underground club sort of deal. It's called Nomadnights and what they do is screen films. I believe they're short independent type films which is cool, but they only do it on certain nights, and it's all low low key. Like, not many people know about it, and it's always at some indisclosed location for one night only. To me, it's an uber-cool idea, and I've been personally invited to the next one in about a week or so. I got a nice little card too, so I feel special. Holly is awesome, and I hope to talk to her again soon. Get to know each other better and get a friendship going you know?

Last night I was at the Wesly waiting to set up for an event called Laid-Back Lunch that happend every Thursday at noon. I met this girl named Asa and I talked to her for a little while. She's an Art major and she was doing roughs for her class today. We got to talking a good conversation and she wrote me a list of books to read. She's a busy girl and that reminds me of a friend I have. There's really not much more to say about Asa, but she's cool.

Jacob, the "Set-up Master" finally arrived and we got started on setting up for Laid-Back Lunch. There was also a group of girls meeting at the Wesly for their Chill Group which is ecaxtly what it sounds like. So, after the table were set, the girls helped with the chair placement. That's when I met Ashley and "Haley". I put Haley in quotes b/c I dont remember if that's her real name. Sorry. But Ashley and I talked for a little bit and she's just a very sociable person. I mean...i've never talked to a girl and gotten a hug after the first meeting before. But I got her number and I really plan on doing something with her to give us some one-on-one time b/c she thinks it would be cool too. Im thinking a nice walk around downtown after dark....b/c downtown is really THAT beautiful at night.

Im also going to be the leader for the next Wesly Outreach that happens the Sunday after this one. I've never been in such a big position before but Michelle (the one who offered it to me) has complete faith in my abilities. So.....i'm going to do it. Wish me luck.

Ok, that's about all I can muster out of my brain right now. I'm really hungry and I want to get to the Wesly now. Laid-Back Lunch and all...Oh and I might see Ashley there too. She reminds me of someone I used to see but I dont know her name. Anyway...I hope that quells your thirst for the time being.

~Love ya~
