It's almost sinking in that I don't have to worry about homework for the time being. I still have lots of errand type things I need to get caught up on though ;)I had kinda a bad night last night. Most of my friends weren't at dinner after church last night, and it was one of those times where I just felt that no one likes me.

But you know what? I do more than almost anyone I know. The majority of my life has been spent working AT LEAST 40 hours a week, while going to school full time and having significant ministry commitments.

I am a googleholic. Yes, I even googled the word 'googleholic' after I wrote it to make sure it was a 'word' - WHAT? of course it's not a word. But it does come up on google.

Apparently some guys in my Greek class knew about this before I did. We watched the trailer for Batman Begins and someone was saying something about Tom Cruise, and I was thinking 'what does that have to do with this movie?'

Who knows. Too much reflection and I am getting tired of it ;)There is this McDonald's right by school that doesn't have the yellow 'M' on the top of their sign ... so just the red bottom part is there.

Friday I'd worked at a different store ... so, I haven't seen my manager for at least a week, I think maybe more. I mean, he doesn't have it out for me, so I don't have too many issues with him.

Well, I decided I got the funniest email (especially totally out of context) of my life today so I'd post it here:Subject: the anti-christ Tell me the theory about the Pope may be the anti-christ.

I suppose that is based solely on attention from boys ... ha ha, not really. I opened this morning but it was okay ... the manager was only there for like an hour and then went to a meeting.

So, I definately have way more to do than I have time to do. I mean, seriously, if I used all my hours in the day for work (school, work, chores, etc) and slept even 6 hours a night, I highly doubt I would be on top of things.

I mean, I had it off from work, but then since I've been sick I didn't want to push too hard. So I slept a lot and then watched a movie with a friend. I did do some reading and a few other things.

Hmmm, not good. Anyway, told my mom I was going to see a friend tonight, she assumed it was a boy cause I wouldn't give her the name (which was my plan in not giving her the name).

Because I have a paper to write and I keep putting it off. I seem to have issues being able to do things like this without being under enormous pressure. I shouldn't procrastinate so much.

Which by the way ... the pope is probably going to die soon (not necessarily cause of the current 'scare' but he's stinkin old and sick).

Things seem to be shaping up though. I will be moving in a few weeks, hopefully it will work well. Moving up to University Park where the average income is around $92,000 and the average house costs $549,400 ... and tx property values are far less than Bethanynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1104967092932383832005-01-05T15:15:00.000-08:002005-01-05T15:18:12.933-08:00So, I don't have my car cause a few months back and it was totalled and I can't pay for it yet. So I am driving the van that the family I work for has as an extra car. the brakes went out this morning and well I am thankful I didn't die, really no exaggeration. But it will take tons of money to fix.

Not even kidding this time. So we'll start with Sunday.
I had a meeting to meet w/ some new people to live w/. It turned out well, they are strong Christians and I would help with dinner and then do a few other random chores, mainly helping keep the garden watered. I think the apartment is like twice as big as mine now. Anyway, it was mostly confirmed, but we were still Bethanynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1104694795565366612005-01-02T11:24:00.000-08:002005-01-02T12:02:53.513-08:00Ah Sunday, it's pouring rain here. I couldn't sleep last night at all, really I didn't get to sleep till like 4. I think I'm still on west coast time but that's a lame excuse cause that was late there. oh well, I was able to watch most all of Alias.
So, it struck me when I got a season of Friends dvds and my brother Seinfeld how different the shows are. Well, my sister's brilliant comment about Bethanynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1104613851368932212005-01-01T13:02:00.000-08:002005-01-01T13:10:51.366-08:00Well, I'm back in the Big D. What fun - it was like 75 yesterday. I don't know why, it's gotta be like 20 degrees above average, and it snowed last week. Welcome to Texas my friends.
My new year's eve was interesting. I helped a friend move then we went to dinner around like 10. Yeah, that's about it. Then I went home and watched some of my Friends DVDs.

Well, I just spent the last hour or so typing out the story of my last year for you to read. I feel like I didn't have a chance to actually "talk" to people in pdx, so if you want, here you go. Probably read from bottom to top of today's posts.
I think I forgot to say till the end that my dad lost his job a year ago, so as far as my financial comments, that made it worse cause my Bethanynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1104445162871621582004-12-30T13:54:00.000-08:002004-12-30T14:19:22.870-08:00EVERYTHING ELSE
Church
I found a great church to go to. It's Irving Bible (www.irvingbible.org). I am involved w/ the singles group (www.ibcthepoint.com) . . . I am working on communications stuff for them . . which is usually going fine, but this week the message board we have went down and so it's been hours of my time trying to get it fixed and sending evil emails to tech support, etc. I Bethanynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1104443584374536802004-12-30T13:40:00.000-08:002005-01-02T11:48:50.283-08:00ROOM & CAR UPDATE
Well, I guess this could have gone under jobs too for part of it, but whatever. So last spring, I guess around spring break time, a lady ran a red light and hit my car. Luckily no one was injured, but still obviously it sucked. The insurance companies were a pain, so I had a rental car for awhile, no car for awhile, had to pay for the rental car, etc. I ended up being Bethanynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1104442340813236862004-12-30T13:21:00.000-08:002004-12-30T13:40:34.636-08:00JOB (CAREER, HA HA) UPDATE
So next, jobs . . . yes well, I've had more since moving to TX than I ever did in my previous life. The first job I got was with a christian tutoring company, I was working on their website and general marketing. It was exactly what I wanted to do! How great . . . except the dude didn't pay me. Long story short, after I approached him about it he felt that our "mutual Bethanynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1104441389051130302004-12-30T13:12:00.000-08:002004-12-30T13:39:25.360-08:00SCHOOL UPDATE
Let's start with my school. I am in Dallas, TX going to seminary. It is going fairly well, I really like it. I finally passed Greek I now I have like four more terms of it. I think it will get easier as memorization is what I really suck at. I am taking a full load next term even though I don't have time for it cause it ends up saving me money. They discount the credits for the Bethanynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1104441108557735192004-12-30T13:08:00.000-08:002004-12-30T13:11:48.556-08:00So it's been a little less than a year since I last posted. Interesting to read what I had to say . . . ah, I thought life was hard then but little did I know what was waiting for me in the near future. Probably one reason I didn't update this whole time is cause life was so crazy.So, I am still in PDX for another 18 hrs or so, and since I have access to a computer here I guess I will write. IBethanynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1077767525004264582004-02-25T19:52:00.000-08:002004-12-30T17:52:52.053-08:00Okay, I saw The Passion this morning.
I am going to write a few things regarding the movie, and hopefully link to them from here, but I am just too tired to do that now. And I want to contemplate.
Here are a couple things I am wondering now:
Is the use of blood in the movie necessary? I can see it several different ways . . .

Something about how ignorance is bliss . . . they say that knowledge is power too, but whatever. What do people want power for? Cause they think it will make them happy but it doesn't, they tend to end up worse off. I think this is what started it: My working at a coffee shop probably guarantees me more job insurance than a whole two bachelor's degrees do.

I went dancing and had a slumber party and just hung out. Of course, I really didn't get too much productive done. I did go to work on Sunday though. That was fun. Tips are a good thing. I think my boss is crazy though. I've barely had a normal boss, I had one that was fairly nice but she cried all the time. I liked her but everyone else thought Bethanynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1076647688809307082004-02-12T20:48:00.000-08:002004-02-12T20:50:40.483-08:00Hola,
Wow, today was interesting. First couldn't get my paper to print right for class this morning, had a small group meeting and one chick totally went off and we all disagreed but were nice about it.
So round about 5:30 I get a call from this coffeeshop I applied at. She wants me to come in for an interview - tonight! So I do, so she basically hired me. The pay more than sucks (not even Bethanynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978923.post-1076542991471887122004-02-11T15:43:00.000-08:002004-02-11T15:45:41.513-08:00Okay, I'm back.
I keep thinking I'll write all the time and I don't. But today I feel like I especially have something to say. It is ironic though because I was supposed to write an oped for class today and couldn't think of a thing to say yesterday. Probably cause all my topics are too random to ever get published.
Anyway, I am raging against The Man today.

I was in class yesterday and we were discussing the different generation distinctions. You know - baby boomers, gen-x, etc. No one really knows any besides those and just arbitrarily make them up.
My thoughts come from when we were discussing what the defining moments for each generation were, and September 11th came up as defining the most recent generation.

This one is just going to be a test. Welcome to the Black Gardenia. The name has no real significance, I just felt I didn't want something too cheery or too bleak, so I tried a combination. It may symbolize my moods - cheery at times, bleak at others. Hey, that's what makes it all exciting. Stay tuned!Bethanynoreply@blogger.com0
