So, I think I'm all stocked up on enough food to last the next week. Let the thunderstorms come.

(It really is a big deal when you travel by bicycle. Just not fun getting wet and wondering when someone will invent those wiper thingies so you can see out of your eyeglasses while trying to travel in it.)

Have you ever experienced the feeling of restlessness when your brain is working at 60k RPM while you are doing your best to put up a calm exterior?

That is me, right now.
Yep, I do a very good job of looking calm or just going still when my brain is madly scrambling to find the proper course of action. Problem is I also seem very calm and still when I'm happy and content as well.

But sometimes you become absent-minded or you lose your thoughts mid-way. When my brain is frantically thinking about something else, I have even lost track of whatever I was doing at that instant. Like, I step into a room and I can't remember why I entered it.

One night i was watching one of those ghost hunter shows and it was spooky enough but then when I was in the bathroom the one bulb in the shower area went out. Freaked me out, but bulbs go out all the time right? But it didn't just go out like bulbs usually do.. it faded out kinda slow. It spooked me but I thought to myself 'its just a bulb going out'. I flicked the switched several times and got nothing. ..Well I went back about half hour later and the bulb was working again!

I'm okay as long as the electricity doesn't go out. But if it does, well, slightly limited. But, I'm working on that this week.

Hmm, I wonder if I should put some jugs of water in the freezer, in case I do lose electricity, so I can use them to keep from loosing my food. I also made sure I have a flashlight for the classroom.

Sigh, these storms have me really on nerve for some weird reason. Don't know why. I wonder if part of that has to do with state testing and what happened a few years ago? A few years ago, when I was tutoring middle schoolers for the state math exams, during the middle of one of the test, the electricity went off school wide. We were in a room with no windows or flashlights. Not fun, trying to make sure you didn't walk all over kids. So, with testing happening next week, I've decided to make sure to have a flashlight, or two, maybe three, just to be on the safe side.

I see nothing weird about any of this. When you are contemplating the mysteries of the universe and other important things, well the here and now just isn't worth paying attention to.

Well except for not stepping out in front of a moving vehicle, that might be important to pay attention to.

I've developed a fun game to help myself with that. When I'm walking somewhere, take a mental photo of the area ahead and then close my eyes and keep walking at normal pace until my brain becomes uncertain of where things are in front of me. Then kind of "reverse blink," open my eyes for just a sixth of a second or so to get another mental snapshot.

(Disclaimer: Not to be attempted in small areas where there are a lot of people, i.e. a small, busy parking lot or if you work at a fast food factory)

Wow two Spotify ads in a row totaling up to 46 seconds?
I was not asking for that type of brilliance in my life right nao.

Gonna work out.
Back hurts for no reason like usual.
I am diagnosing myself with a herniated disk because WebMD has all the answers.
Just kidding, that place is for Jesus.

But anyway.
Having coffee but not really feeling the coffee feeling you get.
That joy you know? It's more like a, 'I'm sorry that I'm doing this to myself but I have gotten to the sandy/I may secretly be swamp water but I won't tell ya/ the train is arriving 15 minutes early but we won't tell ya/ your shoe is untied," feeling of the pot.

JOSH GARRELS ALBUM.
YOUTUBE IT.

Going for the one
Going for a listen in time
Taken so high
To touch, to move
Listen to life
Rouandabout, sounding out
Love me so

Kitten, freaking out for no reason: "Mew! Mew! Mew!"
Me, picking up kitten and holding it close: "It's okay, kitty, calm down"
Kitten: ~Fart~
Me: -.-

This entire thread means nothing spiritually at all. No plans, no praise, no holy spirit filled conversation, NO NOTHING. What a waste of time and effort. I'd rather watch paint dry on a barn door. Sorry to burst your bubble, but time is too precious to waste on this.

Wow, you read the whole thing? :)

Don't be sorry. I'm pretty sure nobody's bubble has been burst.

I feel like I have nothing interesting to share. Well this might be interesting. I take anti anxiety medicine, It's helpful. However sometimes I feel somewhat emotionless. I have empathy for others and I do feel happy a lot, and I'm also happy for others when good things happen. It's just really hard for me to cry, it's not that I don't care, it's just that I feel dried up, like I have no tears. About a month ago I cried about something, I don't remember what it was that made me cry but it felt good, like I really needed to cry.

Often times people tell me that I'm really laid back, it's true I am, not that I never get agitated, I got agitated at church yesterday. One of the other members was shooting his mouth off again, once he starts he doesn't stop. Those kind of people really grade on my nerves. He and another member told the elderly lady that helps me with Sunday school that she had to go downtown to get clearances to work with the maybe 4 kids, two of which are mine. They had her so confused and upset, I had to calm her down. I almost went to confront them I was so frustrated but I let it go because I would have said things I'd regret. Ok so I guess I do feel emotion even if it's anger, lol.

By the way I'm unhappy at my church. I'm not crazy about church in general because of the cliques and the complainers and sometimes the down right stubborn rude attitudes I've seen. Honestly I've experienced this at every church I've gone to. My friend who is an older gent there has said many times, we're here to worship, try to ignore the other stuff, so that's what I do and I smile and just ignore stuff.

Are your conversations spirit filled?

Why are you using all that precious time just to constantly criticize and cut people down across the threads?

Doesn't seem like a very proper--or Godly--use of your time either.

If you don't like what you see here, why not stay in the forums you feel comfortable in?

Or at least, the ones in which you might have something positive to say. That's why the rest of us come here. Because some of us have no one to talk to except God and each other. And supporting others in the Body of Christ is never a waste of time.

We'd be happy if you went back to watching paint dry. Please, go back to your "I'm So Much More Self-Righteous Than You" Barn and do so.

But seoulsearch, it's fun and emotionally fulfilling to rail at people. Why do you think so many do it?

I mean really... you trying to take the guy's fun away? :p
