Had a freaky dream last night. Lord, please don't let that happen to me.
Some of the youths in my church have come together to have a small outreach program on Jan 15th. We are partnering with a couple of youth ministers from outside the church. Of course, all this is being done without the knowledge of the church leaders. We will run into trouble if they ever get to know about it.
In other news, my band may have its first gig on Feb 14th.

I'm doing better. I have started reading a book that is helpful. I also went to my sister's church when I visited her this weekend, it was the first time I had been to church in weeks, and the lesson was...amazing. It was over things I knew in my head but the way it was explained made it straight to my heart. If that makes sense. It gave me a whole new perspective and REALLY helped with some things I've been struggling with in my walk with God.
Kind of bummed. Was hoping my glass grinder that I ordered would come in today. I cut a few pieces at the studio, then took them home, thinking that the package would come soon and I could work at home a little bit too. Alas, no grinder! If not in tomorrow, I'll check the tracking number. **sigh** stained glass project dead in the water right now.

I've really been struggling the past half year or so, dealing with allot of tough issues that the Lord has brought to light. One thing that I've struggled with my whole life is admitting to any kind of failure or having some kind of problem whether it be, school, my job, my health, anything really.
God has been breaking me of allot of my patterns of thinking. The most recent being, my ability to be seen as a flawed human, someone who has lots of problems. I've read it before in books, been told it hundreds of times, but tonight it made sense to me, it made sense to me in a personal way. It doesn't matter if nobody likes me at all, I'm a child of the King. A King who cares for me, and wants only the very best for me.
The past year has been rough in allot of ways, but it's also been incredibly beautiful. I've never had the chance to open up and actually find out who I am underneath the shell. I found people who accepted me for who i am, and gave me a chance to pour everything out and search myself. What i found underneath shell behind the mask is a soul searching for God, I am Bugs(at least here), a beloved child of God who has issues, lots of issues. I'm not perfect and it's ok to be flawed, to have problems, and to admit said problems. Seems simple enough, but It's taken allot to realize this, to grasp this, to really own this for myself.
-Bugs; flawed but still loved.

Record it and post the track online!
Please?
Please?
We are thinking of naming the band "Squashed" because we will play a mix of genre - blues, flamenco, rock, alternate, ballads, etc.
Steve, I am sorry to hear the delay in your glass grinder. I hope you get it today.
BugeyeSTi, we love you for who you are. In the few times I spoke to you, I thought you were a pretty cool guy. You gave me some valuable advice before the roadtrip, so I thank you for that as well. Cheer up brother. We are all damaged goods, but in the right pair of hands.

Instead of fighting to sign in on the main page (which, on my last attempt, took 12 tries (and yes, I've done all the things that SHOULD have fixed it, such as clearing cookies/cache/history/whatEVER, even updating the browser and the flash player and...I dunno, stuff. Every stuff that could be updated or cleared)), I finally figured out I can go into a forum and sign in from there. One try. Bam. Logged in.
The one thing I didn't try is simply getting a new lap top...which is what I really want to do. But, as this one actually does still (mostly) work, it's hard to justify a purchase like that by saying, "I need it so I can log into CC easier".

MissChris: The chat program uses up a lot of RAM on older machines. I know on this computer I have to activate swap space (Linux version of Windows' virtual ram) before I can access chat. If I try to access chat without vram my computer freezes up.
Try increasing your virtual ram. It should help. Two gigabytes should do it.
(I should probably tell you how to do that, come to think of it...)
Don't get scared away by how complicated this looks. It's really quite simple, just... follow the trail of bread crumbs. ^.^
Right click on My Computer. Hit "Properties." At the left, click on Advanced System Settings. In this new window, click on Advanced tab, look at Performance and click the Settings button under Performance. Yet another window will pop up, labeled "Performance Options." Click the Advanced tab (yet again... we're very advanced here) and look down at the Virtual Memory setting. Click Change and you can change how much of the hard drive Windows uses for virtual ram. If everything is greyed out so you can't set the size, uncheck the box at the top labeled "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives."
And don't forget to hit "Ok" when you're done, to save changes.
