January 4, 2004 LSU WON THE SUGAR BOWL 21-14! NATIONAL CHAMPIONS BABY!!! THEY KICKED SOME SOONER BUTT! HOW YOU LIKE THAT STOOPS?!?!??!

November 22, 2003 It sucks to be carless with a job that you need one….oh yeah and getting to class too…I feel like I’m back in high school with my dad having to bring me to my classes. Ha so today my mom and dad picked me up from my classes and we went eat at Rouls…oh yeah I’ve never mentioned that place…yeah they have by far the best burgers in this town. But yeah so we are sitting there and Roul was all excited to meet both my parents but yeah we are eatting our nice big burgers and who waltz though the door….Chancellor Mark Emmert. Yeah totally just threw me off! I was like whoa! Anyways he just comes right up to my family and just starts chatting…he is a really nice guy.. but yeah it was so incredibly weird! So yeah they still haven’t finished fixing my car…so I wait patiently. Anyways that was my weird news of the day. Yeah now I’m getting back to work.

November 14, 2003 yeah i know i've been really really busy! working plays, learning lines, going to church, having a boyfriend...oh yeah i do have one now....he is so great! but i'm not going to get in about all that...trust me i can go on for days! ha anyways, this weekend i'm leading my first retreat which promises to be an interesting one...hopefully. i pray everyone shows up....if not....i'm stuck in a ditch when it rains and i can't get out! but we'll pray that doesn't happen. well so much has happened this semester. April and Eddie finally got married and the wedding was gorgeous! the weather was perfect and she looked beautiful! i worked the opening show of swine palace's season...Ma Rainey's Black Bottom so i got to meet even more really kool people from new york and i got to see some amazing work being done. also i made a good friend out of the show. oh and FOOTBALL UPDATE!!! TIGERS ARE 8-1!!! AND THEY ARE # 3 ACCORDING TO ESPN!!! yes and we play alabama this week GEAUX TIGERS! also 2 weeks ago i had an AMAZING weekend i staffed Awakening for the first time and it was awesome! i was on music staff and for never singing with the other staff members we all sounded amazing...That's God working for ya! it was all Him! so anyways other than that life is good! so there is an update in my life...sorry this doesn't have any philosophical thoughts, or deep meanings but that is all sucked out of me earlier on in the day. ha also i've been really sarcasticly funny lately i don't know why...but i've been on a roll! anyway i'm going back to work...not like there is anything to do...but i'm going to at least try....remember...think deeply...but don't hold your breath....

August 31, 2003 LSU 49, UL-Monroe 7...Another EXCELLENT night in tiger stadium! It rained a bit but it was still fun! oh rain, did i say rain sorry i forgot it never rains in tiger stadium....it was H2O particles that had clumped together falling randomly from the sky never rain. anyways i got halfway soaked cause i had a poncho, but my legs got all soaked...i was also on the big screen twice! whoo hoo! also some also some photographer took a picture of me and asked me my name and stuff so i'm guessing i was suppose to be in the paper or something...but that didn't happen so oh well.. anyways...there is no better rush you can get then being amongst 90,000 fans in death valley on a game day. Just to hear the Golden band from Tiger land and their opening bommm bom bommmm bom! oh my gosh it is great! yeah then to stay with the crazy people and cheer or tigers on! ohhh yeah!! and the REAL fans stay to the bitter end...rain or shine or cold or loss...haha they even clean up their trash! this just sums up all i have said....I LOVE FOOTBALL SEASON!

July 15, 2003 ah summer is really boring…I hope this isn’t how the rest of my life works out…work…eat…sleep…there is no enjoyment…well except for the few times a week that I meet up with my church buddies to praise the Lord, however last night was interesting and very intense…but relaxful as well. Claire, Stuart and myself were over at my house working on getting those darn collages finished for the youth advisors- I should note that I don’t expect them to read this cause it is suppose to be a surprise. Anyways Christy also came over for a bit and it was so great to see her cause I haven’t seen her since Christmas. We had a good time talking about highschool and such. We also talked about who we have seen since and who has changed for the better or for worse, and in that manor it was a slightly depressing conversation. *sigh* . so yeah Christy must have left around 8:30 or so and we were about midway if even finished with the collages. Then finally around midnight we were finished enough so that Claire and Stuart could leave, all that was left to be done was to tape some letters down, put them in their frames and wrap them. Oh and did I mention clean up little scraps of paper, so yes being very active last night resulted in me not being able to sleep too well. And as a result of that…I’m extremely tired this morning. Not to mention I’m leaving work for around 2 to go pack and clean up my room. I also have to be at church for 7:30 to go sing. So plans are that I just stay awake tonight until we leave that away I can sleep easier in the car on the way to Branson. Cause sleep is good… well most of the time…if I can get enough of it. That is the only time it is good. Otherwise it is worthless…cause it just makes you feel tired the rest of the day. I wish I could be like my sister and get 4 hours of sleep and be good the rest of the day. That would be awesome. Or rather I wish my body would go to sleep earlier than 2. Oh well we can all wish. But anyways the enjoying thing that came out of last night was the random convestation that springs forth from the mind in the late hours of the night when some of these people are usually in bed. Man they get lots of sleep! But yeah that was great! I guess my new plan when I can’t sleep will be either one cleaning my room- cause it needs to be done, or working on this thing…but I say that all the time… maybe this time I can make it happen!

July 5, 2003 ok so i'm on emode match for kicks and i keep seeing all these guys that say they don't want to deal with head games. however after this summer many of us girls have found it is not us that plays the whole head game thing. granted i realize some of the female sex does, but there are still alot that don't. and this half of the population has realized that it is really alot of the men that do. granted this too i know is not even the majority. but why does it always have to be on the one i like!?! i mean really!? is this like my suffering!? oh well, ok enough complaining! ha life has been pretty good lately i work i sleep i go out and do things sometimes. and that is about it. pretty exciting eh? yeah i know you wish you were me! ha anyways we got finished making most of the senior collages for our youth group graduated seniors. and i deffinatly think that so far Evan's is the best collage i've ever done, i hope he likes it. oh oh oh today my friend claire, some of her friends and myself went to the zoo. it was soo kool! i've wanted to go for a while now and i'm so glad we went because it started raining and all so we just walked around in the rain. it was soo much fun! i also experienced watching my first game of risk, that too was quite interesting. all and all it was a really great day! i have to get some people together though to go play put put golf, i haven't done that in a while and i really want to go! so anyone interested! email me!

June 10, 2003 laura and i have come to the conclusion that we have figured out the major difference in the way guys and girls think (however i must note that this only applys to the majority...there are exceptions to this theory...er, law). ok this is it....when a guy makes a decision he only takes in the factors that will effect him at the time, maybe somewhat afterwards...but mainly they just think about the now. also, they mainly don't consider the feelings of the other person, and they also beleive that as long as they ignore the problem that it will just go away. Girls on the other hand take in the big picture. they think more about the effect then the most convient to the self. the reason being is because by nature women were created to take care of others. and while that is not all they are ment for, that is that the main reason they more sensitive to emotion and the emotions of others....more to come on this theroy but right now i have to go....

May 31, 2003 ok..i'm really loving the summer...cause really like i know the past couple of journals i have written about someone i like and all but you know what? i have been really praying about it and all and really i can careless right now what happens...cause i'm really quite content with my life right now. i really have no one of intrest right now and that just suits me fine. if something happens in the future with that guy mentioned in the last couple of entries thats kool.. but if it doesn't thats kool too. i'm just loving the summer of relaxing and not worring about much. ha you'd think it would be the other way around concidering that i have several friends talking to me telling me how much the miss their gf/bf but believe it or not it doesn't bother me at all. oh well anyway i'm going to go to bed now...+ all this extra energy that use to be wasted on boys is being put to better use. Also i have to continue to tell myself, good things come to those who wait, patiently.

May 18, 2003 i hate boys...they can make a girl go crazy! and it deffinatly brings a whole new meaning to the phrase love hate relationship. i swear i'm going to go insane! but i'm so glad the summer is here! so i can just work more and get my mind off of stupid boys...cause this whole playing mind games thing that they do just doesn't work out for me..that and just a whole bunch more stuff...man i really need patience...then again i guess it is my fault too...i guess i should have just come right out and been like "look i really like you" and i was really trying to work up the courage to do it the other night...but i just watched him walk right out the door...because to be turned down by him, verbally...that would hurt major. it petrafies me to even think about it. ha maybe he feels the same...idk...but i'm going to deal and get through the summer... i'll survive. and if God wants it to happen..it will.

May 11, 2003 I must admit, I have a crush. Man, a crush, it sounds so so…3rd grade. Yet none the less that is what it is. And it is weird; I think it is like none I have had before. Yeah sure I’m the type that just gets really excited and kinda giddy. But I still don’t know if he knows. Maybe so, maybe not….maybe it’s a good thing that he doesn’t know…maybe he would be repulsed at the thought of dating me. And what is really weird is, sure I have always been nervous around guys I liked, but I’m so nervous yet calm at the same time. I’ve been trying to leave it in God’s hands and unlike most guys I have ever really liked have been praying about this one constantly for a while now. If only I knew, I could wait forever but I just want to know. However, I’ll never know unless he does something because I’m just like that. Oh well. If God wants it to be, it’ll be. I think the weirdest part in all of this is the fact that I just want to go pray with him. I want to sit next to him in church, and talk about God. And I know that isn’t that weird but it is more new to me then weird…but it is so amazing. And yes at the same time, I want to hold his hand or just have him put his arms around me. *sigh* oh well I must keep praying about it and like I said if God will’s it will be done.

April 29, 2003 ah yes the joys of typing from english class. i miss not having a computer to do all the work on from english class...oh well. such is life. well last night was a bust, BUT it still ROCKED! By the tree was the headling band and they also had the bands phat chance (who i sold merchandise for...but not alot) and Across the Sky. all the bands were really kool. i just wish more people would at least try out christian music before being so quick to judge whether they like it or not. i know the bands were bummed out that they didn't get to play for 1,000 people but at least 2 of them made the best of it. and hey even if they didn't have a whole lot of people there at least they rocked out to the music and enjoyed all the bands. the old theatre motto comes to mind of "the show must go on" and not only that but "no matter how small a crowd...you still give them your all," that one of course is not too well known of a motto. oh well. anyway i bought a really kool t-shirt from By the Tree and it says "TreeHugger" yeah it is kool. SOME people don't like it too much but oh well it isn't their shirt. oh yeah i forgot to mention that i'm now dating someone? ha yeah i am. anyways life is good and God is good so everything is GREAT! i'm tired and getting sick so i'm out!
later on... *sigh* today was a very bad day...yeah when i wrote the above was my "good" day...just everything went wrong and i really didn't get anythign that i counted on...it was all just stripped away until it came to the breaking point when after work i walked into the center...saw laura and mike and started crying my eyes out. yeah don't you just hate when you have several major things that happen then alot of little bitty things that happen that just ruin you day in general? yeah me too. and everytime something bad would happen i would just be like oh Lord please get me through this give me the strengh to handle all this....then something else would happen....however now that i look back on it i realize that my strength was seeing laura and mike and me just crying...just letting it all go. whew i needed that so much. then i went on and did my work...and another good thing happened. matt called. ha he can always cheer me up. but anyway life is ok now...in time it will get better.

April 1, 2003 "One, two princes here before you" ah decisions...not like I’d be ever forced to make that type of a decision but in life you have similar decisions. Like for example you have this one shirt that you have had for a while and your really really like that shirt. Then someone gives you a new shirt. you like the color and the style of the shirt but you don't know how much you really like the shirt. maybe it may grow on you and replace the old shirt. or maybe it may just become like all the other shirts in your dresser... this only time will tell. you know time and communication are very important in a relationship. Not just a romantic relationship but in relationships in general...you know friendships and such. the majority of them know a lot about me. i guess it is because i feel i have very few secretive things about me...I guess it is only really guys I’m kinda secretive about. Only some know the details of that. But I’m pretty much the type of girl that lets them come to me... which is probably why I’m single haha. However I let God be the guiding force behind that. If God really wants me to be with someone whether for good or bad reasons (i.e. to teach me a lesson), he will send them to me. although i must say i am pretty picky about this too...this doesn't mean that i'm going to just jump in the car with the first guy that ask me out. like i said time is a definite factor in a good relationship. time, honesty and communication. honest friends are always a good way to have a relationship sprout from. March 15, 2003 don't you hate it when you feel needed then suddenly your not. one minute that person is dying to talk to you, then next all your conversation is.."hey" "hey" "whats up" "not too much" end of convo. pretty sad ain't it. oh to make it even more boring is it turns into a competition of "yeah"s or other pointless and meaningles aquard words just used to fill up space. What i really dislike is when someone tells you something and you say "really?" they just answer back "yes really" or someother dumb answer. the philsophical answer to the question "really?" is if you want to tell them more...and if not just say so. Anyway that is my ranting for the night. on to happy thoughts....today was the St. Patrick's day parade. i've only been to it one other time, but this time i was with much better people. ha and i was with real irish folk as well. ha the guys at the center are so crazy! i love them to death! and stephanie came as well it was good ole fun! and it was a nice warm day too. so yeah i got some pretty kool throws and saw some old friends. everything was good there! ha anyways so yeah then tonight i was with a different set of people and we went to go see the movie Chicago. it was really awesome, except i don't understand why they have to dress them in such trashy atire for most of the dances. i mean really they didn't wear all that stuff in the play. and girls don't normally dance around in bathing suit type stuff. that is just not kool. other than that i have been downloading music from the movie like mad...however i think i'm going to go ahead and buy the cd. i just with they would have gone with ALL of fosse's choreography. oh well. a legend dies and hopefully his work will live on some where...and i will always remember our tribute to fosse! it was so great! i wanna do it again! and again! and again! man i miss those days sometimes...high school that is...however then again when i think about it...i don't miss it at all..but oh well i had some good times...i had some good times! hey! you can't win them all!

March 5, 2002 well the time has come once again in the year that we catholics celabrate the season of lent. it is a time of prayer, fasting, and making sacrafices(note: no we do not kill anything....personal sacrafices). however most of all it is a time in preparation for the passion of our Lord. post mardi gras, today is ash wednesday, where no matter where you go you know the other catholics by the crosses on their forheads. well i was one of the distributers of ashes today...or as i like to reffer to them as ash giver outers. it was so kool! almost as kool as being a euchristic minister. i just became a euchristic minister and it is the most awesome feeling in the world! at the first mass i did it at, i was a bit nervous but once i started handing it out, i got this entire rush of energy though my body. it was so awesome! i could have run around doing cartwheels(now realize i have never done a cartwheel in my life, but that is how awesome the feeling really was) just praising God! it was soo amazing! but ashes can not be compared to the Body of Jesus Christ. what is really annoying though while distributing ashes is when pple with bangs don't move their hair out the way first...so you are trying to menuver around their bangs and such trying not to get ash all in their face. but i worked around all that and did my best. however i really am looking forward to this lent, i have so many things i want to accomplish in it! i pray for strength to get though it all...oh yeah by the way about mardi gras it was pretty ok this year, i was a bit disappointed with spanishtown this year. i didn't get as much stuff, but it could have been the area we were at too, cause the people on the floats seemed to be more drunk than usual. but southdowns was pretty kool. i also went to a couple in metairie in which i screamed my lungs out and got tons of stuff! oh and also on friday night my friend paul cat had invited a few of us to go see this guy play at the varsity theater, his name is keller williams and is really really awesome. i deffinatly recomend checking him out- www.kellerwilliams.net anyway i'm soo tired---but i'm going read my Bible so later peeps!

Febuary 15, 2003 wow so much has happened. as i sit here in my blue checker pj pants and red theater shirt i sit in exustion, contemplating alot. God has answered alot of prayers for me today alone. but i still don't know.. i guess it is because i don't have a clear question that i want to ask him. i don't know where to begin. ok yes i know this sounds extreamly random, but hey i've had 4 hours of sleep and it is now 2:40. wow...i'm soo confused! i pray for the right words for my prayer so that God may resond with an answer. and like i said..if this makes no sense what-so-ever...it's ok...

January 2, 2003 4 more days!!!!

ok i know you haven't gotten this far! copyright beccasgalaxy 00-03
