Well, after a few short forays into the family forum and seeing the terrible advice and condemnation of the absent spouse that was given, I have decided that should I ever get married and have marriage problems I'll be coming back to my single's forum friends to get decent advice about them. The rest of the internet makes you guys look downright normal (no insult intended).

Look what I found in a dumpster this morning! IN THE TRASH!
I hope I can get it running - it looks like it sprays water and runs on it's own with the remote and everything. Well, it's not really a remote -it's a little wired handheld, but still. All I can find missing right now is one of the little plastic outriggers, but kids don't take the time to play with those anyway. i know a little buddy that's going to be blown away at Christmas if I can get this thing going!

I don't know how it happened, but suddenly I found myself reading poetry. And it's not that I dislike poetry, but that after reading dozens of poems about different things, my brain is swirling around and around and my eyes are swimming and I think maybe I actually dislike poetry.
At any rate, I know I don't like Robert Frost, yet for the first time ever, I like this poem. Except, I don't really like it, it's more that it struck me as meaning something. For once. Ugh.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I know this one by heart! I got a book of Robert Frosts poetry when i was like 13. I've been hooked ever since. I loved this one so much i committed it to memory.
Lewis Carroll has some really crazy poetry. I have a book of his stuff to. He's the guy that wrote Alice in Wonderland. Anyway, lot's of his stuff doesn't even make sense. He just makes up words, but it's amazing!

I'm having a weird day. Inside my head, I mean. Because out there in the real world, it's perfectly normal- whatever that is- and sunny and stuff...but in *here*, it's monsoon season. Or...I dunno. I don't know how to say what I'm trying to say, and it might be better kept to myself. The storm clouds.
See, I have this battle, with myself, sometimes- a thought or feeling will strike (sort of at random, but usually there's a reason), and it will make itself right at home for hours, days, sometimes weeks. I've learned it's usually best to ignore it, but it's super persistent. It's almost always stuff I've got no right to think or feel, and it's rare that I win the battle of keeping my mouth shut until it just goes away.
I spill the beans. And that doesn't end well...as you would expect a pot of beans being spilled on the floor wouldn't...
It's one of the things I really dislike about myself- how my imagination grabs onto certain things and blows them all out of proportion and I get to thinking that maybe it wouldn't be so bad to just...let slip...this idea, or this emotion. But then, you know...KABOOM. Or is it more like SPLAT? KAPOW?
Whatever.
What I mean is, I feel like I have almost no control over what comes out of my mouth. Which is ridiculous, because of course I do. I know I do. But in the midst of the minor insanity that these...storm clouds...bring, I feel very much like I have no choice but to voice what's on my mind.
I really don't think I'm making any sense, which only adds to the frustration. I used to be better at expressing myself, and that was part of the problem. I could express myself so convincingly that I would suddenly find myself part of something I hadn't ever intended to be part of.
It's awfully difficult to say clearly what I mean when I'm battling against saying clearly what I mean.
I think it's time to dye my hair back to a normal color.

So I have been enjoying my time in the Bible Discussion forum a lot more than expected. After some time, I have been able to discern those who do as Jesus said "watch and pray" and those who simply wish to exalt them selves as scholars or authorities. I have met some really awesome brothers and sisters in Christ there who remain humble to God and to one another as we come and reason together to search the deep things of God.
Of course there are also those that come to scoff and mock (as it is written) but it seems that God has given me a peace with that through the compassion that he has given to me for them.
I have learned more in the past week than I have in quite awhile and am thankful to God for the many mysteries that he has revealed.

I just spilled yogurt all over my bed and it had little pieces of oreo in it...
and now my dog is eating the remenants that are slowly wasting away.
Oh wait...he stopped. now he has his little black watery nose, peering up at me with his head sideways and blinking hesitantly.
Yes. You know what you did you timid little specie....
now you're going to die.
