Guess what, guys.
2011 is the past.
All the pain, all the tears, all the misery… is the past.
You’ve learned your lessons, now don’t look back, and strive forward into the future.
Happy New Year, everyone :)
You know, I’m not someone that most people would consider a perfectionist. I lazily throw papers and college applications together without much care for detail. But at the same time, I hate to start things that I know I won’t succeed in. I do like a challenge, but when there’s no hope of me doing well, I throw in the towel. I guess that’s why the thought of a new year...

I love how it’s just me and my dad until Monday night. We’re pathetic. I feel like we won’t eat anything but pizza and Christmas cookies all weekend.
My Bible reading plan had me reading the end of Revelation.
The whole no-more-pain-and-no-more-tears thing?
Sounds good to me.
Let’s go.
Today is going to be awesome (:
It’s always interesting having cats around at Christmas time.
Exhibit A: My mom finding an ornament at the other end of the living room from the tree.
You know, of all the things I thought I’d be doing on Christmas night, I can’t believe that my sister and I are standing in the middle of a cornfield while she takes pictures and I look through my telescope. For real?
D'oh, my family...
Mom: Look at this article about a two-headed baby!
Dad: Whoa!
Bethany: If I were to have a two-headed baby, I'd teach them so many instruments...
Me: Dude, it could have its own band!
Bethany: Yeah, SCREW staggered breathing!
Mom: How would you know which mouth to feed and which mouth breathes?
Dad: You cover up one of their mouths, and whichever one turns blue, that's the one that breathes.
Mom: Wouldn't that be creepy?
Dad: Well, yeah, but it gives new meaning to the phrase "two heads are better than one".

Reading Plans
Not going to lie, this is my first year actually following a Bible reading plan. It took me through the Bible in a year, and, to my surprise, was rather painless. I did the Discipleship Journal plan by John Piper which has a daily variety of passages to read as well as several days off for those times when I was just too lazy to read God’s word. For anyone who is trying to find a Bible...

How many kings stepped down from their thrones? How many lords have abandoned their homes? How many greats have become the least for me? How many Gods have poured out their hearts to romance a world that has torn all apart? How many fathers gave up their sons for me? Only One did that for me.
At first thought, most Christians would say that Christmas is about Jesus coming down from heaven. And...
I didn’t know it was possible to be surrounded by so many people and yet feel so utterly alone.
What? You’re stressed about finals? Let me call you and wish you good luck.
You’re needing a hug? I’ll text yo to let you know that I care.
I’m sorry you broke up with your boyfriend, there’s not much I can do but I made you cookies…
What’s that?...
We get our admission decisions tomorrow D:
Anonymous asked: What's your new blog? :(
For all the random people who follow me:
You probably want to stop following me, because as you’ve probably noticed all I’ve been posting is funny pictures and pictures of my kitties. I have a new blog now and am just keeping this one for the lulz.
WOW, WAY TO GET SICK THE DAY BEFORE FINALS.
I love how I woke up five minutes ago and I’m already frustrated with the day.
You frustrate me today, and you see my wrathful vengeance.
COME AT ME BRO.
I can't wait until Bible.
I want to see what they say about it.
I love when you have a positively horrible dream and then you realize that it’s pretty much impossible for your day to actually go that badly :)
Now I know why I don’t usually have my dad help me study for Calculus.
“F.. parenthesis x parenthesis equals two x plus five divided by x squared minus 16. Find F… apostrophe… x in parentheses…. and F… quotation marks?… x in parenthesis. And then find the… uh… a-SIM-totes, and also the inflection points.”
I’ve never wanted to skip school so badly, lol.
Well, this is how my conversation went today.
Me: Hey, Mrs. Lyons, can you sign thi-
Mrs. Lyons: NO.
Me: But you didn't even look at th-
Mrs. Lyons: NO.
Me: No, I'm serious, I want to drop your class.
Mrs. Lyons: Me too, you're not dropping it.
FINE THEN.
Today’s going to either be bad or the worst day ever in the history of history.
There is an infinitesimal chance that it will be good, but that would involve having the most awkward conversation ever, so really it will all balance out.
Recently I’ve been feeling like I’m walking on thin ice trying to balance a sledgehammer on my finger. Except on the end of the sledgehammer is...
